COVENANTS - Part 2 of 2

 

Now for the key verses again:

11 I will establish my covenant with you, neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth. 12 And God said, “This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: 13 I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. 14 And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud: 15 And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh. 16 And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth. (Gen 9:11-16)

  Noah found grace, he trusted God, he endured to the end, then God blessed him. His blessing was a covenant. Then without the water, God covered him with a bow. Of course, that is a rainbow but protection as well. (Strong’s Dictionary).  Theretofore Noah would be protected by the bow of God… a “bow in the Cloud” specifically. God manifested Himself in the world as a cloud by day and a fire by night.[i] The rainbow would be the Comforter for Noah and his seed. [ii] The rainbow is a symbol of hope, and that would be “the hope of salvation.” [iii]

  But did not the water save them, or even the Ark? The Ark kept them safe from the water, but Satan had not been sucked down the drain. He lived again in Canaan. Salvation would not occur until the Devil is thrown into the bottomless pit! Then righteous mankind shall be saved.

  “But,” you say, “that is very Armenian of you!” No, that is very scriptural. Noah and family would still have to endure to the end and Canaanites would provide “troubled waters” unto this day! Indeed, the land of Israel has had its time of glories and its time of troubles.

  To overcome the world, Noah’s kind would need a Protector against Satan inside Canaan. God volunteered to do that so that his new creatures would not be on their own against the wiles of the Canaanites. So, He made a covenant. Study it carefully: “The bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature.”

  “The Cloud” is God. He shall carry the bow. It would not be a rainbow nor an archer’s bow, but a sword, to wit: “The sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God” (Ephes 6:17). The ritual sword would be made like the one in figure #1. It is symbolic of the Word of God.

                                                  Figure 1: Hebrew Sword - 17QQ.com

  God’s “bow” was a promise to preserve mankind until man is saved from the Wicked One. That sword is the hope of eternal life.

  God used the same “bow” to create life in Eve: “And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; and the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.” (Gen 2:21-22). “Rib” is symbolism. The exact word is “tsela” in the Hebrew. It can mean many things, including rib, but also a curved plank or literally, a curve of a body. (ibid).

  Males of Adam’s kind are not missing a rib. Surely, Adam had breathed life from his curved side unto Eve just as God had done with him. [iv] Out of God’s belly flows living water. [v] Out of the side of Jesus flowed water that provided life. God had done it again! Just as He had created Adam, He re-created mankind.  His living water had provided life to Adam’s kind!

  The “bow” is not truly then a sign that waters have receded, but that the Holy Spirit saves. The rainbow was more symbolic of living water beneath the Cross of Jesus than it was the cessation of perishing by the waters of the flood!

  Theologians have created two Testaments. However, the Old and the New Testament are one! The Noahic Covenant is an “everlasting covenant between God and every living creature.” It would be the Covenant of Grace that Jesus carried.

  What was finished on the Cross? Jesus had “probated” the Noahic Covenant, the Adamic Covenant, the Abrahamic Covenant, the Mosaic Covenant, and the Priestly Covenant. They were all probated with one swish of the bow of Longinus when Jesus poured out His guts for Adam’s kind. That Covenant, as everlasting, remains in effect until the end. When one sees the blade that Longinus pierced God with, the “Cloud” over Jesus that day gave way to hope! As “everlasting,” Adam’s kind must sill see the bow! It remains with us as the Word of God.

  The Noahic Covenant contained a promise: “The waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.”

  Just what does destroy the “old creature,” the flesh, in men? “If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new” (2 Cor 5:17). How can anyone be “in Christ?” Paul answered that: “For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ” (Gal 3:27). It is not the water that puts on Christ, but baptism with the Holy Ghost of Christ! They shall be covered by Living Waters from the belly of Jesus — His rib cage… His “bow.”

  What happens with water baptism — the baptism of John? “Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death…” (Rom 6:3-4). Water still kills! The baptism in deep water perishes the flesh. It is outside the turbulence of the water wherein there is life. Water baptism as in the days of Noah perishes the corruptible flesh. To be preserved, Jesus must be put on!

  Paul wrote, “One Lord, one faith, one baptism” (Ephes 4:5). That one is the baptism of the Holy Ghost of Jesus with Living Waters (the Holy Ghost from the belly of Jesus). Jesus, because there is “one Lord.”

  How many Lords were with Noah? Two? Satan was Lord of Canaan. Water seems to be the “Lord” of those who believe that water can save. As in the days of Noah,  [vi] many still do not understand that water destroys!

  God (The Word, Jesus) told Noah, “This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations.” All living creatures includes all of mankind, not just for then, but perpetually. What occurred with Noah and his seed pertains to us as well; we are Noah’s seed that God planted in the New World. It remains the Blood and Water of Jesus that is soterial and water still destroys all flesh. Nothing has changed because the Noahic Covenant is the Covenant of Grace. That is known because,  “Noah found grace!” (Gen 6:8).

  Now you know who saved mankind and who did not. What saved mankind and what destroyed. Since it is perpetual, then the same Person and Process is used to this day!

DECEPTION

  Pavlov experimented with dogs. In his experiment, he would ring a bell, then reward the dog with a  treat, and then measure the pleasure by the salivation. Then, after the dog was “conditioned,” he would ring the bell, and then the poor beast would salivate without the reward. He discovered how easy it was to mold dogs to be excited even when offered nothing but a sound! Since then, psychologists have used that deception to condition human beings. Jonathan Gruber understood that well! As you shall see, Pavlov’s experiment was not a new thing.

  Gruber was Obama’s architect for the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare). That was the very application of operant conditioning. He new that people are as beasts, and that they would salivate at the very thought of “free health care.” Like the dogs, he knew people would salivate just at the thought of free treats, even when a treat was not forthcoming. Gruber admitted to his Pavlovian experiment when he said that  “they depended on the stupidity of the American voter” just as Pavlov depended on the low intelligence of canines. When you see dogs perform, it is not because they are wise but will do anything for the reward. What does the trainer always have in hand? A treat. 

  Oftentimes, the dogs perform even when the treats are withheld, but occasionally, they must get a small portion to keep them salivating. That is the basis of socialism!

  The voters performed for “free health care” — health care that never came. They were even punished, not by withholding the “free health” care, but were disciplined by the mandate to pay for what they did not get. It would be like the poor dog in the experiment licking Pavlov for being so nice even though it received no reward. That is what the Democrats depended on with the “not so affordable health care.” The “stupid dogs” rewarded their “Pavlovs” by rewarding them with votes even though adequate health care was not forthcoming. The voters became so conditioned by the Democrat experiment that they were told to wear masks even when they were well… and they did so, even without a treat. The Democrat experiment then entailed punishment for refusing to be obedient as trained dogs.

  It turned out that Americans are easily duped. They surpassed the dogs and became sheep. They followed the Democrat “shepherds,” not for any reward, but safety from the wolves. The problem was that in America, the Democrats were the wolves, but they never even attempted to put on sheep’s clothing. To be honest, they were very transparent with their experiment in socialism. People are that stupid! Just look at the Georgia voters who voted for a transparent socialist (e.g., communist) with eyes wide open. Why would they do that? For “free things!”

  When Bill Clinton campaigned for president, his slogan was, “It is the economy, stupid.” Right then, he was transparent. He insulted the intelligence of voters and they still voted for him! Although Obama’s czars operated by insults, “sheep” still followed the lying shepherds just for the thought of free stuff!

  What has that to do with anything? The American government — the source of security and prosperity — was just this week overthrown by a coup d’etat and stupid American voters have not even realized that!  

  Their first experiment in operant conditioning was affirmative action. They made minorities salivate at the thought of having work. Then when some became successful, others had not been conditioned. Then Democrats began to offer free stuff instead of work, and the “pack of angry, hungry canines” were created. They roamed the city streets eating garbage from their modern “plantation” masters and were conditioned to the extent that they were satisfied with garbage, and would even vote for the garbage man... even when no garbage was forthcoming. Biden depended on himself as their “Pavlov” and all his “canines” turned out to vote, and even when they would not, dead dogs did!

  Socialism is based on four things: (1) survival of the fittest, (2) the gullibility of the less fit, (3) deception, and (4) dependence on others.

  Socialism is an experiment. It is the type of ideology much like plantations which Jefferson Davis wrote “died of a theory.” Their experiment in socialism was not just for four years but the entire ante-bellum period. Finally, slaves rose-up and soon even whites saw the “Ponzi Scheme” to the extent only war ended that early form of socialism - the ideology that Karl Marx turned to after Utopian socialism failed. The modern Democrat experiment in socialism is as destructive to humanity as the plantation system, and it too will fail!

  My worried daughter asked me last year, “Who wins, Dad?” She recognized that there was a war going on. She did not say so, but she feared a coup d’etat. She was worried about her future. I was too, and now my fears have merit!

  Democrats always assign a phobia to anxieties. Christians need not fear Democrats because we have God! Just who is it that we should fear? People should fear themselves. God warned American Christians through the troubles of the Jews. As God’s chosen people, they thought as the “elect” that God would take care of them without regard whether they cared for God or not! They were not “stupid Hebrew voters” for even the elect were and will be deceived. Purveyors of deception “shall deceive the very elect” (Mat 24:24).

  Adam and Eve were easier than Pavlov’s dogs. The Serpent (or Seraph) in the Tree merely rang the bell, they got their treat, and they salivated for more. Even under the threat of punishment, their taste for pleasure prevailed. They were the “Serpent’s Human Experiment” because they unawares got a new master and were very quickly sorry that they had changed allegiance!

  My daughter questioned rightly. The coup happened ever so obliviously that not even the chosen Christians know they have been had by patient conditioning. Over the last four years, America has been so unundated with disinformation that we have drowned in lies. The Democrats even created the “wolf” in the story. They needed a “wolf” to protect all their sheep, did not have one, so they made President Trump out to be the “wolf.”

  Their plan has reached a crescendo this week, and the propagandists have made Trump into such a “wolf” that even those who follow him are afraid of him as the “big bad wolf.”  The “bell” has rung so much and the conditioning so thorough that “stupid American voters” buy whatever Democrats are selling. The squad, Warnock, and Sanders have been honest about their wares, and stupid salivating voters salivate at what they are selling without even knowing that they will be the ones who pay for the “free stuff!”

  Who wins? We know from scripture who wins the struggle — socialism wins for awhile, but when the people cannot stomach it any longer, socialists become more transparent; when the sheep will no longer comply, they will no longer be able to buy and sell until they do. If not, the socialist ideologues will ask for their heads (Rev 20:4).

  When it becomes obvious that socialism is not only their religion (ideology) but their hearts are evil (communism), then the deceived will turn to God for liberty again. They always did and always will. There is no other Way. With that, Jesus will return and quickly drain the swamp of those communists and He will reign for a thousand years. Do not fear Christians; life is tribulation but Jesus wins! What we are going through is overcoming the world which Jesus did on our behalf (John 16:33), so “be of good cheer!”

  What happens can be found by looking at the past. The end will be as in the days or Noah: promiscuity, homosexuality, acceptance of pedophilia, drunkenness, living for pleasure, and turning on God. So long as we live for ourselves, God will remain silent as he did before Jesus for 400 years. Why does God not hear our prayers? Because He only listens to the prayers of righteous people. Paul said it much better than I can:

Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. (Rom 10:1-3)

  What shall we Christians do? Pray to God that America might be saved; not saved from peril here but from torment in Hell. If we put our eyes on Jesus, He will keep us safe! What happened over the years in America? The naïve Christians took their eyes off Jesus and looked at socialist politicians to provide. Why did the Democrat coup succeed with little opposition? Because we were deluded, eating our cake, so to speak, while “Rome” fell.

  The coup has happened often but has always failed. Robert Owen’s experiment with the fate of people lasted two years before New Harmony became “disharmony.” The Russian brand lasted 70 years. There is a problem — Hitler’s version of socialism was to last a thousand years. We said, “It must never happen again!” Hitler is dead, but his insane ideology lives on in the hearts of men. Hitler was an antichrist, but THE Antichrist is coming before Jesus’s Thousand Years.

  It should not happen again, but National Socialism has achieved all that it ever dreamed. It is now global socialism, and new groups have been added to the “Jewish Problem.” Christians are the socialist problem, because we must overcome the world by faith in Jesus, not them.

  What we have seen, especially the last four years, is Nazism all over again. The Democrats have repeated Joseph Goebbel’s propaganda methodology to perfection. Hitler’s “Big Lie” has been taken to the extreme — that people really think that Trump is the “Hitler” all the while, behind the scenes, he is George Soros, the ex-officio chairman of the Democrat Party.

  “Big Lies” are lies so absurd that they could not be made up. You would think now that it was Trump who would overthrow the government when it was the Democrats all the time! The coup started before Trump was even elected, and now even Trump’s chosen have fallen for the Big Lie!

  Remember the Nazis? To convince the Germans, they burned down their Reichstag (parliament building) and blamed it on the opposition. One man, a defenseless Dutchman, Marinus van der Lubbe, was blamed for the fire the National Socialists started. That gave tacit permission to the Nazis to do what socialist do; the socialists passed a new law without opposition, to wit: “The decree nullified many of the key civil liberties of German citizens. With Nazis in powerful positions in the German government, the decree was used as the legal basis for the imprisonment of anyone considered to be opponents of the Nazis, and to suppress publications not considered "friendly" to the Nazi cause. The decree is considered by historians as one of the key steps in the establishment of a one-party Nazi state in Germany” (Wikipedia; Reichstag Fire Decree.”

  My friend, Roger Cromwell, just passed along a Facebook post by a prominent lawyer friend of his. He proposed in essence, the “Capitol Fire Decree.” Anyone in Congress who had supported the President in his battle against sedition would be punished in the same manner as the Nazis would do. And they say it would never happen again! Well, it has… this week, and things are going back until Jesus comes.

  We all prayed that it would not come in our time, but it has. Our wish is not greater than God’s Will. Do you want to see the government that you just elected? Read German history. Do you want to see the government and religion that you just favored? Read the books of Daniel and Revelation in your Bible. Do you want to know who to side with? How about the eventual winner? I choose Jesus, and you can have the demons who are now in charge of things: “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places” (Ephes 6:12).

  Do not blame Biden. Blame yourselves; Biden is merely God’s “useful fool” for correcting His people. If we return to God, then God will be merciful, and it is not quite time for His return. How do I know that? Another “Harbinger” based on Isa 9:10, “The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones.”

  “Make America Great Again” is the humble attempt to rebuild the nation on God and our Constitution. “Build Back Better” is the arrogant and defiant advent of “practical socialism,” or socialism in practice, namely communism. In a few months just let God ask you one question, “Do you miss Me yet?” If you do not, the apocalypse has come with the coup d’etat. Unless we turn back to God, things will never be the same again and that New World Order that has been in the making for years has arrived as of this week.

  Where do we go from here? We walk with God! We look at Him in His “Tree” and see the dead Serpent in his. We see Judas hanging dead when we look at the empty Cross and see Jesus alive.

COVENANTS - Part 1 of 2

  The Bible is basically the Last Will and Testament of the Lord God of the universe. Wills are thought of as given multiple choices, the selection of one choice, is the faculty of the will. The document called a “will” is a testament of that choice or choices. A “testament” is a sworn document to the conditions of the will. The only condition to the will of God was stated by the heir and executor, Jesus, the Son of God.

  Jesus is the only naturally and spiritually borne son of God. Jesus was “born” by Mary, but “borne” by God. All others must be what? “Born again” (John 3:7) to be legal heirs of God.

  When “Noah found grace” (Gen 6:8), then God would “borne” him. Born is carried in the womb and borne is transported from some place to another place. Jesus was born in the sense that Mary carried Him but borne in the sense that God transported Him from one realm to another. God would also transport Noah from one realm to another.

  But you say, “It was one place to another!” That remains unknown! Noah was born on a Holy Mountain (Mount Hermon, most certainly) and was borne to another Holy Mountain in the range of Ararat. What made them holy? God was on both mountains. He traveled on the good ship “Noah” to keep Noah and all mankind safe. Hence, the Ark was a type of Cross.

  It is translated, “Marvel not; ye must be born again.” [i] The word translated “born” in the Hebrew is yalad.  Its primary meaning is “to bring forth” (Gensenius Hebrew-Chaldee Lexicon). Indeed, Noah found grace and God brought him forth from one realm to another. Noah may have gone nowhere! Perhaps the conditions of the world changed as the map changed with it. At any rate, based on today’s calendar, Noah if anything, went a short distance geographically, but a great distance in the spiritual world. He was transported from evil to good... from sin to a lofty haven (heaven). [ii] That would be a new ‘Paradise’ in the world.

  Nicodemus failed to understand how a person could re-enter his mother’s womb and be born! [iii] The scholar, Nicodemus, did not understand his own religion. Noah had not come from his mother’s womb again but was transported on a voyage from one existence to another! As such, Christians are not born (carried) in their mother’s womb anywhere, but on Noah’s “yacht” so to speak. Why yacht? Jesus as well as said that: “In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you” (John 14:2).

  In the Father’s House that Noah built, there were many rooms. “Mansions” is assumed. The direct translation is “many abodes.” Each animal and person on the Ark abode in rooms for many days to be borne to a Holy Mountain. Yes, it was really the Lord’s yacht built by Noah to the plans that the Lord provided.

  Now for covenant, which means, “a usually formal, solemn, and binding agreement” (Merriam-Webster Dictionary). Agreements are parties of two parts. Whether with Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, the priests, or mankind; God was always the Party of the First Part. It was always the same agreement with different people. That Adam would have dominion in the world [iv]is as valid as Christians overcoming the world by endurance to the end! [v]

  Just what was God’s Part in all the covenants? Jesus said, “e of good cheer; I have overcome the world!” The Father overcame Paradise for Adam because He is the “Husbandman” of the Garden and when Jesus came, He as God, remained the Husbandman. [vi]

  As soon as Noah was on Holy Ground, rather than a newly created “Paradise,” what did Noah do? “Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard” (Gen 9:20). Like Adam a thousand or so years before, Noah repeated Adam’s mistake of becoming “as God.” [vii] Then the cycle began again: “He drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent” (Gen 9:21).

  What had Adam done? He was uncovered under the Serpent’s “tent,” to wit: “The eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked” (Gen 3:9). The canopy of the Tree of Life was God’s Tent, or Tabernacle, but Adam and Eve would go into the “tent” of evil knowledge. They soon realized that they were naked and built their own small tent — aprons of fig leaves, from the tent of Satan. [viii]

  Ham saw Noah naked and dishonored his father. Adam saw himself naked and realized that he had dishonored His Father! Both Adam and Noah broke what would become the “Fifth Condition” of God’s Last Will and Testament (The Fifth Word of God or what Christians consider to be commandments.)

  What did Moses do? He took dominion on the Holy Mountain when he became the husbandman. Rather than bestowing that honorable mention on his New Father, since he had been borne again, Noah honored Lucifer. God was the Vine on that Holy Mountain although Jesus was there! [ix] Noah became the Husbandman and the Vine, causing Ham to dishonor his father. It was not necessarily that his dad was naked but that he was a pretend God with his own will.

  Noah, as Adam before him, ate God’s fruit and claimed it as his own. Adam ate of the Tree of Knowledge and Noah ate of the vine of knowledge. Both ate God’s fruit but honored Lucifer instead. Adam became aware and sober, but Noah became drunken. Why is drunkenness so disgraceful to God? (1) Wine is a mocker [x] and (2) Noah, now unsober, lost his vigilance. [xi] As such, his “adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour,” and that allowed Satan to devour Canaan whose seed still carries the curse (of Islam). Canaan had been borne, not of God, but was surely, like Cain, of the Wicked One. Even his name is a copy of Cain’s! Satan had made it through the flood hidden, perhaps, in the womb of Ham’s wife, Na'eltama'uk.

  Na'eltama'uk is translated as “Eliakim” meaning “Baal” (El) “set up.” (Abarim Publications), or to be blunt, “Satan set them up!” Perhaps she was a child of the sons of God and the daughters of men. [xii] Perhaps she had Satan in her DNA and was of the Wicked One.

  Now for the key verses:

11 I will establish my covenant with you, neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth. 12 And God said, “This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: 13 I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. 14 And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud: 15 And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh. 16 And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth. (Gen 9:11-16)

And since this is getting lengthy, we will continue tomorrow.

ON COMMON SENSE

  Have you ever been accused of having no common sense by foolish people? Perhaps good sense is better than common sense since any commoner can have lesser sense. Christians are to have “peculiar” sense! [i]

  Ordinary “common sense” is “good sense and sound judgment in practical matters” (Merriam-Webster Dictionary). It is not having a body of knowledge but applying knowledge to preserve one’s life and well-being. The patriots in America had the “common sense” to abridge a tyrannical government.  Thomas Paine wrote about having the sense to fight for freedom from over-control:

  Paine marshaled moral and political arguments to encourage common people in the Colonies to fight for egalitarian government. It was published anonymously on January 10, 1776 at the beginning of the American Revolution and became an immediate sensation... Paine began the section by making a distinction between society and government and argues that government is a "necessary evil." (Wikipedia; “Common Sense”)

  “Egalitarianism” is social equality. Common sense is that government is necessary, but autocracies are evil. That is “common sense.” People should not like being told what to do but should consider the benefits in living without undue coercion.

  “Common sense,” therefore, in today’s milieu, is using one’s own judgment to choose vaccination or not to vaccinate. Many, with insufficient or little knowledge, accept the vaccination without question. When the mark of the Beast comes, for many of them, the mark will come easily. They will not even question it, for it is for it is for the “common good,” is it not?

  Common sense is asking pertinent questions and seeking true information. What do autocracies do? They conceal information and hide the facts. When the facts do not support their version (perversion) of the truth, then propaganda overwhelms society. Naïve citizens trust the government to make their decisions for them.

  Paine knew that English control — taxation without representation — was not common-sensical. Paine understood that housing British troops was an infringement on individual rights. Putting foreigners in the household to be parasites on the citizens was not common sense. Neither is introducing foreign substances into the veins of a host of Americans.

  “But it is for the common good!” insists the media. “You are not a good citizen unless you obey without question.” That is not common sense, but sheer stupidity. Half of Americans have recently showed their stupidity by accepting contrived “evidence.” Jonathan Gruber admitted for the “Affordable Health Care Act” to be passed, “depended on the stupidity of the American voter”… those without common knowledge!

  In the early 1900s, producers could put anything in the food they sold. As such, worthless fillers and even toxic substances were eaten by unsuspecting people. After all, they would rather be poisoned than starve to death, would they not? As such, they ate the poison merely to stay alive.

  Soon people with common sense banded together and said, “I will not eat the food… I would rather starve and die than tolerate poison that may do things unknown to me!” As such, the Federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) was formed to promote “public health through the control and supervision of food safety, tobacco products, dietary supplements, prescription and over-the-counter pharmaceutical drugs, vaccines, biopharmaceuticals, blood transfusions, medical devices, electromagnetic radiation emitting devices, cosmetics, animal foods & feed and veterinary products (Wikipedia; “FDA”).

  Look at all the things that the government was ordained to protect its citizens from consuming; among them are vaccinations. Common sense is that the government should protect its citizens from injecting dangerous concoctions into unsuspecting people; people without the common sense to explore what is housed in their genes. The covid19 “vaccines” are not really vaccines nor are they FDA approved. Common sense would be to question why the government wants an acid shot into your arm!

  The acid mRNA is the make-up of two of the vaccines. They are the “British Troops,” in this case “socialist soldiers,” who control by living inside of American hosts; at this time mostly those who volunteer. Soon the British insisted, and that is what the U.S. government will do. “Common sense” is that great care should be taken to prohibit foreign “troops” from being housed inside of you.

  There is a saying, “I am from the government and I am here to help you.” The British autocracy used that excuse to house their troops in the homes of the colonists. In like manner, for your safety and well-being we will keep the “French and Indians” (viruses and their mutations) from harming you.

  All the while the foreign troops did what? They harmed by becoming parasitical. To protect from the viral French and Indians, a worse virus was introduced into the system. The British troops sucked the life out of the colonists. That was not common sense. Some reliable scientists say that the vaccinations may be more harmful than the covid19 virus. In other words, the “tories” may invade and there will be no immunity from them when the time comes. Well, other viruses in this day may not be protected from the government “soldiers” (vaccines).

  Common sense is to consider: It is my body to do with as I wish, so says liberals, then when the time comes, it is the governments body to do with as they please! Progressivism really means regression: Let us go back to the way it was under the English system — let the government house their invaders wherever they wish. Has America regressed two-hundred years? If they force vaccines on its citizens, then the tyrannical King George still lives!

  Autocracies always use “Big Lies” to control. Those without common sense do what they are told. After all, this is just a vaccine is it not? No, it is not! Vaccines introduce small doses of the virus to activate the immune system. In the case of these vaccines (sic), the government introduces foreign agents into the blood stream. Their invaders are mRNA acids that stealthily synthesize proteins under the guise of protection.

  They really do not protect at all; viruses can still enter in, but the mRNA may make them impotent. Then, the government’s “soldiers” render the individual’s natural ability to preserve itself impotent, and then the body must depend on the government to bring in more “soldiers” by the introduction of more foreign bodies. Before long, your body will not belong to you, but whoever the new “King George” happens to be!

  Scripture is truth. We cannot keep ourselves from dying, and neither can the government. Jesus used the situation of the Hebrews. They had encountered a den of vipers. Many tried to protect themselves and died. Neither could Moses save them. Then, God introduced His remedy. He immunized the vipers’ poisonous bites, with what? A poisonous viper! When Moses held up the lifeless brazen serpent on its pole, that was the antidote for the poison injected by the bites of the serpents.

  Jesus was telling the Jews, “Quit depending on your own devices and not even the protection of Moses.”

  Who was Moses to them? He was their government! Just what was the government of Moses and just how dependable was it? His father-in-law diminished the government of Moses, to wit:

16 When they have a matter, they come unto me (Moses); and I judge between one and another, and I do make them know the statutes of God, and his laws. 17 And Moses' father in law said unto him, “The thing that thou doest is not good.” (Exod 18:16-17)

  Moses had become a dictator. He told everyone what to do, and they followed whatever he said. He was autocratic… “I do make them,” he said. Jethro, his father-in-law, used common sense when he replied… ”The thing that you doest is not good!” They should have relied on God and not the government. That was also the message that Jesus was trying to convey to the Jews.

  The government cannot save anyone, and neither can anyone save themselves by doing what the government judges is right. “Born again” is what one “must be” (John 3:7). Jesus used the case of Moses. Quit relying on others or yourself for life but trust God. Jesus was merely using common sense.

  It was not common sense to depend on the leader nor the government to provide the best advice for preservation. It was good common sense to depend on God! Why so?

Fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear Him which is able to destroy both soul and body in Hell. (Mat 10:28)

  Likewise, depend not on them which can protect the body, but trust Him which is able to preserve the soul and the body. That is common sense and good spiritual sense as well! Christians need to quit depending on “Moses” as the governor and government, and depend on God instead. Rather than common sense, which is so uncommon, people must trust the “inspired sense” of God.

  Truly, those who have not the sense enough to vote against evil should never depend on those who shoot evil “darts” at them, as Satan does! Paul warned them, “Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked” (Ephes 6:16).

  Common sense can shield somewhat, but total protection is by faith. To whom is your faith in; “Caesar” or God? “Then saith he unto them, ‘Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God’”s (Mat 22:21).

  Caesar’s things were taxation and spending. Render taxes unto the government, but in things relating to life and death, turn to God.

 Just who is your God? God protects with a heavy coat of Himself. He puts on Christians His Holy Spirit to keep us safe. God is our shield! Why would anyone need Biden to tell us how to live, when he endorses the killing of the innocents, just as Herod?

  “Common sense” is to trust God, and not to trust the government. Common sense is heeding the “Good Doctor’s” advice and not Fauci’s.

  Jesus saw Caesar’s likeness on the coin. He suggested to honor Caesar in civil matters, but to honor God in spiritual matters — of life and death.

  Our money once had “In God We Trust” printed on them. Now, that slogan is being removed. The implication is that we cannot trust God, but we can “Caesar.” I know Caesar (from the history books), and Biden is no Caesar! Common sense would be to ignore a governor who has half his senses. That would be “common sense.”

ON THE SANCTITY OF LIFE

  Preachers today seldom teach on the sanctity of life. That notion is paramount, to wit: “God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). All lives (the entire world of them) is precious to God. He loves all His creatures and wants that none should die!

  But why do not preachers preach what they quote so regularly? Because some in the congregation have “perished” their own children. The preachers fear that truth may offend the sinners. Indeed, it does, and should, because sin is offensive. It is not okay that any who sin can sin and continue to live without guilt.

  Just what is the purpose of preaching? Not just for hope, but for “doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness” (2 Tim 3:16). How to be “right” with God? Do not perish the “whosoevers” that He loves!

  Up until the days of Noah only two men had killed — Cain and blind Lamech, his “seed” planted on the plain by Mt. Hermon, or Mount Tabor. The English word “Tabor” means “to purify” (Abarim Publications). Cain’s line had migrated from the land of Nob to Tabor to be purified. God required His people to purify by water. They did not, so He did it for them. The seed of Cain was deluged and then God disposed of them into the center of the Earth, along with the giants who were the result of fornication with Gregori angels.

  In modern terms, they had become unclean and God sent them down the “garbage disposal.” Not that they were “garbage,” but they would become even more despoiled if left on dry land.

  They were the violent ones: “The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth” (Gen 6:11-12). In the days of Noah, all Cain’s seed had become as Cain, and having the blood of demons in them did not help the situation. “Filled with violence” implies that they were a mob who did what they willed to each other. Rather than justice, the mob had taken over the plain of Tabor. They most certainly killed each other without guilt and with impunity!

  Then what happened? The seed of righteous Seth came down from the Holy Mountain and joined the fray and became violent. The righteous ones not only failed to reject violence but joined in the violence. The so-called “righteous” were treated as garbage as well and perished down the great disposal. As Ross Perot would say, “There was a giant sucking sound” as the water abated, and all but eight perished. Why? Because they did violence to one another!

KEY VERSES: Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made He man. And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein. (Gen 9:6-7)

  Cain was “of the Wicked One.” He was the loop offspring of Lucifer and Eve, if the claim is taken literally, and it seems wild, but is, perhaps, the truth. Still, to this day, human beings are of the Wicked One. That is known from Jesus in the “parable of the tares.” [i] Original sin not only instilled sin but a genetic inclination for lust and violence. Cain was the second “Beast,” the Serpent being the first Beast. By the time of Noah all but eight had become of the Wicked One. Mankind had become as beasts. They devolved, Mr. Darwin!

  The violence that was done on the plain of Tabor was men as beasts. Before the flood, God’s Covenant with Adam was that he would have dominion over the beasts. In the Garden, that would be easy because all the beasts, but one, were domesticated. Domesticated animals even came aboard the Ark. They were more compliant than the hybrid human/Gregori beasts.

  Mankind, at the behest of Satan, had created a new ugly inglorious world full of violence and hatred. Still, after the flood, the new generation continued the Adamic Covenant: “The fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered” (Gen 9:2). Now, dominion would be a struggle rather than cooperation!

  Man had become “king of the jungle” so to speak. Indeed, it would be “survival of the fittest” — who would maintain dominance by multiplication… and by the numbers. Today, people have come to realize that animated creatures that are the smallest with the most numbers are the “fittest” in Darwinian theory. Because humans have the higher intelligence now makes them the fittest to survive. However, wisdom must be applied with that knowledge. Mostly, humans are still violent enough to destroy their own.

  In a very Darwinian manner, the most powerful and intelligent are the ones that destroy their own and even select the weakest. Mostly, human beings are the kind that kills their own in the womb.

  If survival of the fittest is in numbers, then foolish men and women weaken the human race. For that reason, God will destroy the violent ones again, the next time by fire. So much for saline abortion! God will “abort” the violent ones by fire and brimstone: “The fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death” (Rev 21:8).

  Strangely, in an environmental “mother earth” fashion, those with the knowledge of evil were willing t sacrfice themselves (humanity) to save the world. Those of the Wicked One would have little trouble fitting in to the world today — where the Earth is more important than people!

  In the days of Noah, Satan successfully escaped the great sucking sound. He sneaked aboard the Ark in Noah’s or Ham’s wife. Because Ham sinned and Canaan cursed, Canaanites to this day are cursed. The cursed religion is theirs. Next time, that will not be the case; Satan will be sucked down the drain into Hell [ii] then the Earth will be entirely good again as in the beginning!

  What was God’s first directive to Adam? “Be fruitful and multiply.” [iii] What was God’s first directive in the new world? “Be ye fruitful, and multiply” (from the key verses). Nothing had changed! Eve had not multiplied with Adam but with Lucifer, and now God commanded that all creatures multiply only with their own kind!

  He had said that before! “God blessed them, saying, ‘Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth’” (Gen 1:22). Ironically, they multiplied and filled the waters of the seas. (God would know what they would do!) But regardless, God blessed mankind with the capacity to replicate – to create duplicates of their own kind — and the first thing God did is to renew that same blessing, or covenant.

  “Blessed?” What is that? In the Hebrew it is barak, or “kneeled.” (Strong’s Dictionary). What had God done? He bowed to Adam and Eve and let them be as Him. They were thereafter the “creators.” And just what, as creators, did they do? They were violent ones. The animals became “creators” as well. How did the animals behave? Civilly. They walked the Way to safety without domination. Only mankind balked at the Way to the new Paradise!

  The subject of this commentary is “the sanctity of life.” God breathed life unto the nostrils of Adam, [iv] then Adam breathed life unto Eve. [v] “Life” is imbuing inanimate objects with animation. It is taking immortal souls and implanting them into nonliving substances. God did that by breathing unto His creatures. Man does that by planting a seed into a receptacle and voila, nine months later, out comes a living soul. The womb is a sanctuary much like the Garden was the sanctuary for Adam’s and Eve’s “births.” The Garden was a paradise, and the woman’s womb is as well. The Garden was like a uterus in that they both were to be sanctuaries from the outside world — the place of violence and the home of death.

  The uterus is temporary and on loan from God to be a sanctuary for life. The umbilical cord is the “silver cord” [vi] between God and man. God’s DNA flows through that cord. Only God breaths life; mankind merely dresses and keeps, [vii] or better said, serves and preserves. Only God is the Authority to “loose” the silver cord to “return the dust to the earth.” [viii] Mankind has no authority to loosen the cord of life. If he or she does, then they are exalting themselves “as God” [ix]

  That brings this commentary to the subject of abortion. That “bloody deed” is circumcision of the flesh. Moses’s wife, Zipporah, saw the circumcision of her son’s flesh as a bloody work by her hands. [x] Zipporah was only cutting off the foreskin, not all the flesh. The “bloody work’ of abortionists cut off the entire flesh while it is in utero — in the sanctuary that God provides.

  God breathed life unto man. Lucifer sucked the life from man. God warned that sin would kill. Lucifer cared not that sin kills. That is the same with the Wicked Ones today — they think like the Wicked One rather than God.

  Lucifer thought that all the lives in the world were worth perishing so that he never perishes. Women who abort think like Lucifer; they think that one life will improve their milieu all the while they are guilty of violence against their own flesh! It is not “her body” as they say, but her body with a sanctuary for a child inside! Childbirth, as God said, is a “blessing.” God kneels to the woman for bearing the child in pain and sorrow, according to the curse: “In sorrow thou shalt bring forth children” [xi]

  Childbirth should be joyous… if it was not for the world. Certainly, children are an inconvenience. Adam and Eve even became an inconvenience for God, and He cursed the woman the same way! Because children are brought into the world, for the righteous, it should be a day of sorrow. “A child who gets his own way brings shame to his mother” (Prov 29:15).

  It is known before they are ever born that children will bring sorrow to their parents as they have themselves! But children do not belong to others and fathers but are blessings from God. Those who strive to have children and cannot, if they do, understand what a blessing a child is. Why would some women be sorrowful carrying a child when many would trade places any day?

  Well, part of the curse is because her “desire shall be to her husband.” [xii] She would rather engage in pleasure and that is worth the sorrow. In other words, the man is to blame as well! It is not only the woman’s choice, but the man’s own choice as well!

  The man chooses pleasure, and the woman blindly obeys. In essence, women who abort trade their child for a moment of pleasure and reject God’s blessing as they pleasure in Satan’s curse! That is like the deal that Faust made with the Devil. That is much like the deal that Adam made with the Beast, and what happened? The beasts turned on Adam’s kin after the flood. Now, they seem to have dominion over mankind.

  Abortion is a choice. All sin is a choice. When anyone sins, they trade off their souls for a moment of pleasure.

  When women irresponsibly pleasure themselves, they may be trading pleasure for sorrow, or even their very eternal lives for that moment of pleasure.

  God reinforced it with Noah — because mankind had become violent, they lost their lives. They traded their blood for the blood that they had shed. That justice would continue after the flood: “Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made He man” (from the key verses). Implied therein is that murderers who abort the living at any stage will be required to trade their own blood for the blood that they had shed. The violent ones were sucked down into Hell, and most certainly those who are violent against their own will be cast into the bottomless pit of Hell in the end. That is not only losing their biological lives but their souls as well. Only God can prevent soul fires!

  God saved eight people from perishing. “Noah found grace in the sight of the Lord” (Gen 6:5). Just as Adam passed along the grace given to him by God breathing life unto his nostrils, Noah passed the grace onto his children and their wives. They did not deserve the Ark, but Noah passed along the grace that he had found! They all had the opportunity to be a new creation, but Ham had little respect for either his father or Father God. He failed to honor Noah for having the grace to “rebirth” him.

  That same attitude will cause any murderer to perish, or anyone who disrespects the Father. Noah worked hard for 120 years to save his children, and God has worked hard for six-thousand years to save His! Ham failed to appreciate Noah’s sacrifice by works, and God by His.

  What work did God do on behalf of Noah’s family? He sacrificed all his disobedient sons although He wanted that none of them should perish! [xiii] What work did God do much later? He sacrificed His only Son for Adam’s kind. He had already cast away the seed of Lucifer and Adam — both his “sons” — and now he would sacrifice His only Son.

  What must a violent one do? Take the grace that God breaths on them and they shall live forever. They become reborn [xiv] and trust God for deliverance. Then God will give them grace as He had Noah and like Noah, they will be delivered from sin. Then they pass along grace by the Great Commission, sharing God’s grace with all who will hear. Apparently, the world was too busy having pleasure to hear God’s calling through the voice of Noah.

  It was a hard lesson when God destroyed mankind, but it was by grace that mankind was not totally wiped out. It is a hard lesson to condemn abortion and sin, and that is a hard-teaching as well. Why write this warning? Because neither do I want that any should perish. No one should perish! It is a choice.

  It is often said, “My body; my choice.” Not so! Your body belongs to God and He will do with it as He sees fit. If anyone is violent, then justice is God’s violence against them!

  Many scream out, “Justice for _____!” when there is an apparent injustice. Well, that is what God does with those who take away blessed lives; regardless of color, nationality, stage of development, or gender. God destroyed the human race for divine justice, and He can either elect to save or perish any who shed blood!

  But you did not know that when you scream at pro-life people who want that none should perish… not even one? Paul wondered about the ignorance of the former pagans as well: “What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?” (1 Cor 6:19). Not your body… not your choice!

  Well, go ahead… get angry with me! But when you hear the roar of a raging fire coming from above, do not blame me.
