Why is this information important?
What happens when men choose to delete God’s Heavenly Perspective from their lives and from Society. (Isaiah 5:20)
- Men will lose their moral compass. Just like they have done so today. (Proverbs 26:1) What happens next? (Romans 1:21)
- Men will sear (burn/harden) their own Social Consciousness as with a “hot iron”. (1 Timothy 4:2) What happens next?
- Man’s wisdom will become foolishness. 5 (Romans 1:22) What happens next?
- Men will become morally depraved. (Romans 1:28) What happens next?
- Men will act ethically, emotionally, socially and spiritually stupid. (2 Timothy 3:2-4) What happens next?
- Men will behave more like animals (), than Human Beings created in the Image of God. What happens next?
- Men will Worship Idols. (Romans 1:23) Men who stop serving God, will start serving devils. and ideologies of men and devils. What happens next?
- Men will Believe Liars; and Hate Truth Speakers. (John 3:20) Men will hate the Truth, and attack those who speak the Truth. (Matthew 21:35) What happens next?
- Men will enter into a Covenant of Death () and will despise God’s Covenant of Life.
- God will send His Ultimate Judgment, just as He has promised. (2 Peter 3:9-12)
How can we know God will follow through with His Promised Judgments? How can we be sure? Because what God has done in the past, is just a precursor, and a perfect warning to us, about what God will do in the near future. At one time God cleansed the entire earth with water from heaven (Genesis chapters 6 through 9). At one time God cleansed two Nations (two City-States) with Fire from heaven (Genesis chapters 18 and 19).
Those who ignorantly ignored God’s Clear and Devastating Warnings in the past: Set themselves up to be Judged by God in the future. This is a continual pattern that repeats itself over and over again. Anyone who chooses to open their eyes to God’s Heaven Sent Word will see it clearly. Those who ignore it will never see it, until it is too late.
How can we avoid God’s Promised Judgments? By humbling ourselves first, and then begin seeking to See God’s Creation and our own Lives through God’s Eternal and Heavenly Perspective. If we don’t seek this, guess what? We won’t find it.
Mark this Down: All of human history records our own patterns of death. This is undeniable. From the very beginning to this very hour: Men historically and repeatedly break their moral compass. They cast off their duty to do good, and to fight evil. Instead, they choose to Fight Good, and Do Evil.
Therefore, in the hand’s of men, Goodness Dies; and Evil Thrives.
When Men choose to snuff out their own Light–Darkness Prevails. (Matthew 5:13–16) Then men turn around and blame God for all the evil, they have planned and executed, in their own rebellion towards God. (Acts 4:25–26; Psalm 2:1-2)
But guess what? God is not fooled by man’s duplicity, nor by man’s stupidity, nor by man’s puffed up self righteous self justifications–Nor by man’s fake religion. Very soon a day is coming: when each and every man and woman, from the lowest to the highest will: 1) All stand before God, and 2) Give an account of what they have done with their God given gifts, talents, time, space, and resources that God has given them: to DO GOOD, and to FIGHT EVIL. (See Matthew 25:14 – 46)
.
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment. ~Hebrews 9:27 (KJV)
.
What will happen: On the Day that Matters Most?
We will hear one of two proclamations that will define our eternal future:
- “Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.” (Matthew 25:21) “Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.” (Matthew 25:34)
- “Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: For I was hungry, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.(Matthew 25:41-43)
In case #1) You see men and women actively, and willingly participating with God in Building the Kingdom of God, actively giving their time, and talents to the proclamation of the Kingdom of God, and becoming fruitful Laborers and Servants in His Heavenly Kingdom (John 15:16) much like Jesus and his apostles spoke and taught and exampled for us to follow in their footsteps. They are the sheep of his pasture. His sheep are not of this world, even as Jesus is not of this world. (John 8:23-24)
In case #2) You see men and women who have deceived themselves into believing that they were just fine in their own estimation. Not realizing that they had a chance to see the world through God’s own heavenly perspective, and they had a choice to make: to walk in God’s will, according to God’s ways, but instead they chose to play games with God, do their own thing, according to their own mindset, and the mindset of the world around them.
The difference between the two groups is this: Group #1, distinctively decided to repent of their sins (Matthew 21:31–32). Group #2, distinctively decided to continue in their sins and forfeit their destiny in God (Matthew 16:26-27).
The Good News is: We can all have a Champion on our side on the Day of Judgment. He can be our Advocate, our Perfect Heavenly Defense Lawyer. If we truly Make Him our LORD in the Life, He will surely be our LORD in the next Life.
Jesus is ready and willing to take up our legal case. If you let Him: He will be able to go before the Father and say:
“This is my son 6, he is mine, and I am his, and we are One. (John 17:22–23) I know him, because he has followed me. I have revealed Myself to him by the Will of My Father, and he has walked in His Ways, His Word, and His Will, and has been faithful unto me.”
“Therefore: I proclaim before Heaven and Earth, Angels and Demons, and before the throne of God, that this one is HOLY unto God, because this one is covered by my Blood, and has chosen to do the will of my father, which is in heaven, (Matthew 7:21–23) and all his sins have been purchased and cleansed by My Holy Sacrifice. He has entered into a Holy Covenant with Me, he has kept my commandments (John 14:15-17) 7 , and My Love has covered him, and I have accepted him, and called him into My Heavenly Kingdom, to be with Me forever and ever. (John 14:1–3) Therefore, I proclaim him to be holy, accepted by my father, and an eternal member of my holy family, forever and ever.” (John 17:5–11)
Who is the Villian? Who is the Hero?
This is what we have to look forward to: if only we will choose to enter into His Covenant of Life, and Live it with Him from His Perspective, even as He will abundantly teach us, if we will only let Him do so.
My hope and prayer for myself, my family, my friends, you, and every stranger I meet, is the same:
When God Speaks: We will listen. When God instructs us, we will to do what He teaches. When we fumble and blow it, we will seek God’s forgiveness. When we come to Know the Truth: We will share it with others. That we will risk our lives to save others; Even as God himself has risked His Life to Save our lives. (John 15:12–15)
That on the Day we Enter His Heavenly Kingdom, may our arms will be full of the fruits of our labors, and may our treasures are stored up in Heaven be overflowing to the Glory of God. What will those treasures be: Lives Saved by the Testimony of God, and our partnering with God to Bring Souls out of Darkness into His Immortal and Eternal Life and Light.
.
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Romans 12:1-2 (KJV)
May this presentation help us, one and all, to be prepared for what is to come.
May it assist you to Enter the Kingdom of Heaven with Confidence & Clarity, Truth & Humility, Love & Grace. May it you help aid others in their Entrance into His Eternal Kingdom.

Just a Side Note: Why do people say: “God bless You?”
Where does that concept and practice originate from?
Below this Line is information on:
1) The Blessing of God,
2) The origin of the Covenant Name of God,
3) The prophetic power embedded in His Name & His Blessing,
4) How all that applies to our Covenant Relationship with God Today.
This Blessing was written down, and codified, 3,500 years ago, while the Israelites were still wandering in the Desert. This was before they fully entered into the Promises of God, by entering into the God’s Promised Land.
They had been waiting for 400 years to receive God’s Covenant Promise. This Blessing was intended to protect them, teach them, and remind them, from whence came their help–even in dire circumstances.
May this Blessing “Follow You” and “Cover You” as you move forward into your investigation, of your own promised Land.
Now Mark this Down: Your Promised Land is Far Greater, More Enduring, More Blessed, More Filled with Goodness, Richness, Abundance, and Heavenly Mercy and Grace, than even the Promised Land promised to Israel.
May this Blessing also help remind you: from whence your Help comes from (Psalms 121), while you are SEEKING TO SEE Life’s Questions & Answers FROM GOD’S ETERNAL PERSPECTIVE.
.
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel, saying unto them:
Numbers 6:22-27 (KJV)
24 The LORD [YHWH] bless thee, and keep thee:
25 The LORD [YHWH]make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:
26 The LORD [YHWH] lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.
27 And they shall put MY NAME upon the children of Israel; and I will bless them.
Do You Know God’s Name?
(Chances are good that you don’t.)
If you are going to receive and give the blessing of God in God’s Name, it only makes sense that you should know: What is God’s Name? Where does God’s Name come from? And How are the Saints to Use His Name to Bless the Children of God? We should also know exactly why we should never blaspheme his name, nor take his name in vain.
WHAT DOES the name YHWH LITERALLY MEAN?
[Note: The order of the letters are written in English order. The Proper order, in Hebrew, would be “the hand” behold, “the nail” behold. Can you see the picture above of the man beholding the hand (arm), and the man beholding the nail (looks like a tent peg.]
THE FOUR HEBREW LETTERS, YHWH: “Yode-Hey-Vav-Hey”
Note: the V and the W sound a lot alike in Hebrew, like in German. Volks-Vagen. (VW)
[Side Note: These letters were originally written in the picture language of the original script, which read right to left. Which makes an interesting point. Generally speaking: the ancient Western languages in the world, west of Jerusalem, are read left to right, thereby pointing to Jerusalem geographically. Generally speaking: the ancient Eastern languages, originating east of Jerusalem, are read right to left also pointing to Jerusalem.
Who do think established these customs? When And Why?]
When Aaron was commanded to bless God’s Children in the Name of the LORD, the NAME “LORD” didn’t exist. God had already told Moses His name in Exodus 3:13-14, and then God said this:
Exodus 3:15 (KJV)
And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name {YHWH} for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.
Then God commanded this: “Thou shalt swear by his name.” In other words, all oaths are to be taken in His Name (which is not LORD, But YAHWEH, YHWH)
Thou shalt fear the LORD [YHWH] thy God, and serve him, and
Deuteronomy 6:13 (KJV)
[Thou] shalt swear by his NAME.
NOTE: Therefore, every Covenant made in the Kingdom of God, begins with the Name of God [YHWH]. Marriages, Land Titles, Business Deals, Legal Documentation, Social and Military Responsibilities, Everything was to be done and executed in the Name YHWH. The Name is recorded in the Original Bible (Old Testament) approximately 7,000 times.
My OT text is about 7,000 pages long. That means God’s Name is written, nearly 7 times on average on every page of the Old Testament. And what does that name Declare?
That Name literally letter for letter translated into English is this:
BEHOLD THE HAND, BEHOLD THE NAIL!
Now, I know for certain, I am not the sharpest knife in the kitchen, but even I can see: What this Name is Pointing to.
And you will see it to, when you seek to perceive what God has recorded from the Very Beginning, and continues to record throughout the ages: His Plan of Salvation and Redemption for ALL Men to the Very End, from God’s Heavenly Eternal Perspective. This is something you don’t want to miss out on. I am fairly certain on that point.
From the Very Beginning of the Covenant between GOD (YHWH), MOSES, AND ISRAEL, the very Name of God is pointing to the One who would have his hand nailed to a Cross. Thus fulfilling a multitude of predicted prophecies that would identify the Son of God, as the Man, who would RAISE HIMSELF UP FROM THE DEAD.
When you, or I, or any other Gentile seeks to know, and then wants to enter into an Eternal Covenant with God, we must realize that we will be grafted into an Ancient Native Olive Tree that God has already been growing for nearly 6,000 years.
[Note: The Native/Cultivated Olive Tree in scripture refers to the Natural Born Citizens of Israel. The Wild (or Non-native, non-cultivated) Olive Tree, refers to the Gentiles who would some day be grafted into the Native Olive Tree, and therefore would be able to bear the fruit of the combination of the Native and Wild Tree.
That is enough on that subject for the time being.
I hope this has laid a little bit of a foundation for what you are about to encounter next.
.
What is the Difference between Yahweh, and Other God’s?
The difference between YHWH and all other religions and faiths, is that YAHWEH clearly lays out all of His Plans and Purposes in Plain Sight, and then tells you exactly what is going to happen, in what sequence, and when certain events are going to happen with pinpoint accuracy, like no other God, or any other book ever written.
And God tells us what He is going to do sometimes centuries, sometimes millennia before He fulfills HIS PLANS–WHICH HE COMPLETELY FULFILLS In Plain Sight, even to the minutest detail.
JUST ONE EXAMPLE:
WHO IS LIVING IN THE LAND OF ISRAEL TODAY?
That’s Right: Israel. How did that happen? This is fulfilling, the very word God foretold thousands of years ago, in my Life Time.
Never has an ancient nation been so miraculously re-established the way Israel has.
They have revived a dead language, and made it the current official language of the nation–according to the prophecy of God. (Zephaniah 3:9)
Two times Israelites became slave of other nations, and both times God brought them out of those nations, and brought them back to himself to the city of Jerusalem. That has never happened before. And the whole world seems to hate Israel, and the majority of the United Nations supports the enemies of Israel. And several times the nations have risen up and said, “We will destroy, annihilate, and exterminate Israel, from the river to the sea!” But Israel is still alive and kicking. And God has done all this in plain sight.
Yahweh does not withhold His Teaching or Instructions from anyone willing to Seek Him. He is not Some Mystical or Mythical Ghost that cannot be understood, nor some whimsical Mean Tyrant that requires you to Sacrifice your children to please Him. No.
The God of the Biblical Record, the God of the Blood Covenant, spoke clearly, and reasonably for 4,000 years, diligently reaching out from generation to generation, and then closed the Scriptures Two Thousand Years ago, because He had accomplished the Goal that He had promised to fulfill, in the first coming of His Son. And He has already laid out in specific detail, what is going to happen at the Second Coming of His Son, and into Eternity.
Note: All of this information is freely available all across the World. The fact, that the Bible has not been banned from the internet is a sign that we are still in the last hour of grace, but there is no promise that door will remain open much longer. The last hour is getting shorter and shorter, even as God has already predicted, and the Plain of Salvation, and the sequence of Events, He has already clearly laid out in dramatic detail–for anyone willing to investigate it. (We will hopefully be getting to those things in the near future, that is if time is granted us.)

Please be diligent in your Study, but also Take your Time …
Please feel free to take your time, and read only such small portions at a time–that attract your attention, and keep yourself interested in the unfolding of the information. If you do not have a strong Bible based background, chances are that much of this stuff may be so new to you, so that you may need to read it twice or three times, before it all starts to sink in.
It is highly recommended that you read the Bible Passages, and whole books in their context, to get a deeper more valuable comprehension of both the Big Picture and the smaller details, and: How do they all fit together?
Much of the information presented here is layered, and cross referenced, much like the original Biblical record. Therefore, the first time your are exposed to this information it may seem a little much. That’s ok. Rome wasn’t built in a Day. I make no apology for the layering of information, because the Bible uses that very tool to authenticate itself, beyond any reasonable doubt. So should we not do the same?
Is “The Bible is the Best interpreter of itself” ?
Please take a moment and check out this graphic illustration below. It is amazing! It illustrates with graphic brilliance that there is no Book on Earth written and integrated like the Bible has been written covering over 6,000 years of history, having written 66 books, by 40 different writers (scribes, prophets, vessels chosen to record God’s Voice to their generation), writing throughout the rough history of Israel.
The Electrifying Picture below, Gracefully illustrates our 2nd Law of Bible Interpretation:
“The Bible is the Best interpreter of itself.“
Another way people like to say this is: “Scripture interprets Scripture.”
The Bible contains 63,779 cross references in total (photo used with permission). Let that sink in …
The Bible cross references itself, I can only imagine, more than any other book ever written. The entire corpus (Body of Content) is intimately and inextricably bound to communicating, verifying, confirming, protecting, and cross referencing its information so that those who seek to attack it will become very discouraged in a very short period of time, when confronted with the wealth of cross referencing that ultimately undo’s the frail, veiled, and vaporous arguments designed to attack the Bible, and the Bible Witness.
All Jesus needed to do to defeat the Devil, and the rest of his enemies was to Say: It is Written … and he inevitably debunked the attacks against Him, and against God, and against God’s Word.
Each one of the 63,000+ Arches above represents a link from one Bible Reference to another.9 This brings clarity, depth, insight, contrast, and comparison and is a teacher in itself.
Look carefully at the High Arches. This graphic display dramatically shows how the very beginning of the book is inextricably linked to the very ending of the Book.
Below the horizontal line are all the individual books of the Bible being represented. The bar charts, hanging down from the line, are graphically displaying how many chapters are in each book. (This graphic is a computer generated piece of artwork. 9 )
Again, I encourage you to take your time–doing your own study, during your supplement reading on this Website.
Also, Don’t take anything I say, as right for granted. If you come across something that seems fishy to you. Don’t just take it, or believe because, someone said so. You may be on to something. You may be called to expose some false misunderstanding. Some fallacious quote, or misrepresented concept. Be diligent in your own study. And be vigilant.
And be warned, I may choose to throw in some gaffs, just to test the waters, to see if you’re truly are paying attention.
You have my permission to: Download whatever you want–copy and paste, use the information here to glorify God. Share it with Friends, Neighbors, Enemies, whoever.
But…
Make sure you do yourself this favor: KEEP SEEKING to See All of God’s Questions & Answers, according to His Eternal Heavenly Perspective. Once, you have that down, you will have the foundation to make the REAL DECISION:
How Far Do You Really Want to Go with God?
Who can you Trust to Tell you the Truth?
What about all those Contradictions in the Bible?
Question: Do the People who make those accusations ever do any real research and seek to verify those accusations?
Or do they just go with any hearsay evidence that any Tom, Dick, or Harry has to offer without ever checking the facts about their accusations?
If you want to believe a false accuser just because he has the same agenda as you. Well, so be it.
But if you have believed false accusers without hearing the proof against them, well, that’s on you. Because in just a few short minutes you can hear the other side of the story, and then make your own informed intelligent evaluation.
May this teaching genuinely assist all along your journey as you seek to see from God’s Perspective.
This Video is one well done presentation, on why, how, when, and where, so many false teachers misunderstand, misinterpret, and miscommunicate the Teachings and Messages of God recorded in His Word.
If you have any questions about these issues, I pray that you will reach out and get solid information that is reliable, and authentic, and uncorrupted by the fallacious intentional duplicitous men.
Blockage 1: Block you from seeing perspective
What is the biggest hurdle that will keep us from being able to answer any or all Life’s Toughest Questions?
The Answer: Pride.
Pride will block your Ears. Numb your mind. Harden your Heart. And Blind your Eyes.
Why will these questions (and their answers) stump top Professors & Scientists, Doctors & Lawyers (nationally and internationally)?
Why will the answers to these questions be “revealed unto babes”? 11
The simple answer can be found in Matthew 11:25-26. The answer stems from the absence of Pride.
I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent and hast revealed them unto babes.
Even so, Father: for so it seemed
Good in Thy Sight.
Matthew 11:25-26 (KJV). Written circa AD 30.12
Putting this Quote in it Historical Context:
This quote was recorded, during the Reign of Tiberius, the second Emperor of the Roman Empire, who ruled from AD 14 to AD 37.
These Words of Jesus, the Messiah, were recorded, by his faithful, and possibly favorite, Tax Collector, Matthew (a.k.a. Levi) son of Alphaeus, possibly, the most culturally despised, and spiritually undeserving apostle, on Jesus’ Team.
For my money: I believe Matthew was likely the first Gospel written, likely presented with a year of Jesus’ Death and Resurrection. It was very likely written first in Hebrew or Aramaic, to reach those in Jerusalem & Judea, then later translated into Greek to reach those in Rome, and throughout the Roman Empire.
A Note on how Matthew Died:
According to early Church Fathers like Irenaeus and Clement of Alexandria, after following Jesus, Matthew preached primarily to Jewish communities in Judea before extending his ministry to other regions, notably Ethiopia. The Babylonian Talmud mentions “Mattai” as one of the disciples associated with “Jeshu,” which may refer to Jesus. Church tradition holds that Matthew died a martyr’s death; accounts suggest he was killed for defending a nun against King Hirtacus, who desired her hand in marriage.
The Death of Apostle Matthew
The Apostle Matthew is said to have died as a martyr while preaching in Ethiopia. Here are some details surrounding his death:
- Location: Matthew died in Ethiopia, where he was preaching the Gospel.
- Circumstances: According to tradition, Matthew was killed by King Hirtacus’ bodyguard while standing at the altar.
- Reason: The king was enraged because Matthew had rebuked him for lusting after Ephigenia, the virgin daughter of King Egippus, whom Matthew had converted and consecrated to God.
It is worth noting that the exact circumstances of Matthew’s death are not universally agreed upon and are based on traditional accounts.
The exact date of Matthew’s Death is not known.
Jesus (His name in Hebrew literally means “Jehovah-savs”)
May we together, with Matthew, learn the full meaning of his name. 13
If we can get the Big Picture Right, then maybe we can get the little details right. Then maybe we can get the whole message right, from the Beginning to the Ending.
Getting the Big Picture Right:
It is always a Good First Step to Learn about the Historical Context of a Message, in order to interpret it according to its original intent. “A Text without a Context, is Pretext (a lie).”
In order to See How Jesus’ Quote was Understood by His Original Audience, it is helpful to anchor His quote in its Original Historical & Cultural Context, during the first half of the first century A.D. :
By Doing so, we can begin to see with 1st Century Eyes, the Things that were happening in Jesus Day. This Understanding can greatly assist us in seeing Life’s Questions and Solutions, better from God’s Perspective.
Below are just a few of the Wise and Prudent Historical Leaders in Jesus’ Day. Let’s see how familiar you are with “who they were”, and what they contributed to the message of Life during Jesus’ Ministry.
The following is a Quick History Refresher. As mentioned, Jesus’ Quote was recorded, during the Reign of Tiberius.
Tiberius: was the second Emperor of the Roman Empire, who ruled from AD 14 to AD 37. [For a better understanding: Click here for an excellent history review video on the Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire.]
Augustus Caesar: 14 the Father of Tiberius, was the First Emperor of Rome, who ruled the Roman Empire from 27 BC until his death in AD 14. He would have been the main world ruler during Jesus’ Birth to his early teenage years.
Pontius Pilate, during the time of Jesus’ Earthly Ministry, was the governor of Judea, and ruler over the City of Jerusalem, He ruled from AD 26 to AD 36. While his title was “Prefect of Judaea,” his duties extended beyond military matters, and he was also the head of the judicial system. His two main responsibilities were to collect taxes, and keep the peace.
Herod Antipas, ruled from 4 BC [???] to around AD 39. Luke, the Physician, tells us, he died by the Judgment of God.15 He was eaten by worms. He was a 1st-century ruler of Galilee and Perea, bearing the title of tetrarch (“ruler of a quarter”). He is widely known for his role in events that led to the executions of John the Baptist, Jesus of Nazareth, and James the Brother of John, the first apostle to become a martyr. Herod was also famous for the rebuilding of the Second Temple in Jerusalem and the expansion of its base, with the Western Wall being a part of this construction. Today, the western wall is also called the Wailing Wall, it is where many Jewish groups go to pray every day.
Herod the Great was the father of Herod Antipas, also known as Herod I, Herod the Great was also infamously known for the slaughter of the innocent, in Bethlehem, when he tried to kill the Messiah shortly after His Birth. 16 Herod the Great ruled as the Roman client king of Judea from 37-4 BC, (or 36-1 BC). He was born around 72 BC and died around 4 BC ¹.]
The Pharisees: were an influential religious sect within Judaism known for their emphasis on personal piety, acceptance of oral tradition alongside the written Law, and teaching that all Jews should observe the laws in the Torah, including rituals concerning ceremonial purification. They were mostly middle-class businessmen and synagogue leaders who controlled decision-making in the Sanhedrin due to popular support among the people. The Pharisees had two main schools of thought based on rabbis Shammai and Hillel, with differing interpretations of Jewish law and customs. Despite their dedication to religious practices, they were often criticized by Jesus for their hypocrisy and legalism.
The Saducees: were an aristocratic class closely associated with the temple in Jerusalem and held powerful positions, including that of chief priests and high priests. They were known for their wealth, influence, and connections to Roman authorities. They primarily focused on political matters rather than religious ones and had conflicting beliefs with other Jewish sects. They rejected certain key beliefs: They denied the resurrection of the dead, the existence of an afterlife, and spiritual beings such as angels and demons. Their theological views clashed with those of Jesus and His followers, leading to confrontations and opposition from them. The Sadducees played a significant role in the events surrounding Jesus’ crucifixion and in opposing early Christian preaching. Despite their power and influence, they eventually ceased to exist as a group after the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple by the Romans in AD 70.
Annas the high priest: played a key role in the execution of Jesus Christ, and in the persecution of the early church. Annas was appointed high priest of the Jerusalem temple around AD 6 by Quirinius, the Roman governor of Syria. He officially served as high priest until AD 15, when he was removed from office by Valerius Gratus, procurator of Judea. However, Annas continued to exercise considerable influence as head over the high priestly clan for many years after that, including the time of John the Baptist’s and Jesus Christ’s public ministries: “During the high-priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John son of Zechariah in the wilderness” (Luke 3:2). For extra Biblical evidence … 17
Caiaphas the high priest: his son-in-law, Joseph Caiaphas, succeeded Annas in the office of high priest. Caiaphas was, in fact, the official Roman-appointed high priest at the time of Jesus Christ’s arrest, trial, and execution: “Then the chief priests and the elders of the people assembled in the palace of the high priest, whose name was Caiaphas” (Matthew 26:3). After Jesus was arrested, He was taken first to Annas for a preliminary investigation, proving that Annas’s high priestly status stretched beyond the official position: “Then the detachment of soldiers with its commander and the Jewish officials arrested Jesus. They bound him and brought him first to Annas, who was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, the high priest that year” (John 18:13). When Annas had finished questioning Jesus about “his disciples and his teaching,” he sent Him to Caiaphas (John 18:19–24). For extra Biblical evidence … see footnote 18
That should do it for now … All these people were known outside of the Bible, as well as inside. There is virtually no historical dispute that these people existed.
Why History, and Historical Evidence are Vital Keys Proving the Bible?
The Key word is Evidence.
Note: Many times throughout history, the Bible, God, Jesus, King David, King Hezekiah’s Tunnel, Daniel, Pilate, Sodom and Gomorrah, the Red Sea Crossing, etc. and other figures and parts of the Bible would come under attack, with the accusers saying “such and such” never existed, “we have no proof of that.”
Then later, an archeological team would find an authentic coin, engraved stone, a tomb, an excavated tunnel, with the person’s or place’s name on it dating back to near the time of the person, place, and/or event.
That being said, God’s Word has been under attack more than any other document in history. And yet, it has repeated overcome its adversarial accusers. The more you dig into it, the more you find it to be True, Trustworthy, Credible, Accurate, Truthful, and Right–Historically, Scientifically, Morally, Medically, Psychologically, Socially, Spiritually, and Educationally reliable.
Yes, there are those who tried to misuse the Bible to be manipulative, controlling, evil, etc., but those who did were judged by the Bible, and by the Writer of the Bible, and are now dead, or soon will be, and will have to meet their Maker, and receive their just reward. But the Bible still Lives on.
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
Matthew 24:35 (KJV)
A quote from Jesus, during the last week of his life.
Personal Note: I have spent literal multiplied hundreds of hours sifting through video content presenters that provide accurate, reasonable, clear, concise, and well presented documentation, that supports many individual facts and parts of the biblical narrative. Much of the information I share and provide is far from mainstream. As you will be able to weigh for yourself, the mainstream media is thoroughly threatened by God, the Bible, Truth, Reality, and the Right to Live. All of this is threatening to be removed from the public eye, and has been systematically canceled and obstructed from modern day public education and mainstream public consciousness, hence the reason for this website to exist. Chances are good that this website will not be allowed to exist for long. For that reason, I have done my best to document everything presented here, so that when I am gone, which may be very soon. I will have left something behind, that my family can use so know the Truth, from God’s Perspective Even though now, many ears are stopped. Many eyes are blocked. Many minds are dead in the water–and I dare say the sewer water of lies. But even so, There is hope: if only one soul begins to seek to see Life’s Questions & Answers from God’s Eternal, Immortal, Unchangeable, Immutable, Never-Ending Heavenly Perspective.

Are there Known Variants in the Bible?
More than you can imagine.
But do those variants cause the Bible to be unreliable? You might be surprised by the answer.
This is a very enlightening and important topic when it comes to placing your academic trust and confidence in God’s Word.
Mark this Down: “Good in Thy Sight” means that it is “Good from God’s Heavenly Eternal Perspective.”
(That Perspective is something we can trust because it is unchanging.) That is the challenge put before us: To Seek to See with God’s Own Perception.
.
Our job, as good investigators, is to See:
What is “Good in His Sight“?
A Good Banker needs to know the original so well, that he can easily detect a fraudulent counterfeited $100 dollar bill.
A Good investigator will not get himself bogged down in irrelevant data. There are hundreds of thousands of spurious writings, that can easily distract from the main point of Christ’s Mission and Message.
If you are looking for controversy and skeptical chatter, you can easily drown yourself in it, but if you are looking for the Truth. You simply need to read the source documents themselves. That is your starting point.
This website is simply here to get your get attention, to SEE, HEAR, READ, EVALUATE, and TRUST GOD’S source Documents–beginning with the Gospel of Matthew, and then to assist you to continue forward from there, until you have come to Understand, Value, and Highly Regard Every Book in the New and Old Testaments–It is all One continuous unbroken Revelation, as you will come to realize, if you truly continue your own investigation.
The goal here is to See. We need to see: WHAT IS GOOD IN HIS SIGHT. As long as we are continuing to accomplish this goal, we are in good shape.
Know the original so well you can spot a counterfeit anywhere.
Here is: Our Second Big Challenge!
Spiritual Blindness. (Matthew 6:22-23)
The sooner we overcome our own Spiritual Blindness, the sooner we will overcome great deception, and our own spiritual death. Without a victory in this realm, spiritual darkness, is pretty much a guarantee.
If I fail to successfully meet this challenge, my hope of addressing any other spiritual challenges are pretty much lost.
If You and I don’t overcome our spiritual blindness, How will we ever be able to see: What is Good in God’s Sight?
How will we ever See through His Eternal Perspective–until we get our spiritual vision adjusted? The Truth be Told: some of us need new glasses.
Because of man’s spiritual blindness, and preconceived prejudices, many are looking through false and blurred lenses.
That is why, many believe false concepts that are designed to keep them from knowing, or even hearing the Voice of God. 19
Yes. You heard me say it: The Voice of God. If we want to become one of the sheep in His Pasture: We are expected to hear the Voice of God. But how can that ever happen if we have a warped picture of God in our Minds. (See: John 10:10, 27)
Because of the Warped View of Many will …
- Many will never see God as the Loving Father, seeking to bring his Lost Son and/or Daughter back to Himself. 20
(Luke 15:11-32) - Many will block themselves from seeing God as the Good Shepherd (John 10:1-27), who lays down his life for his sheep. 21
(Luke 15:3-7) - Many will simply refuse to see Life through God’s Eternal Lens.
(Matthew 6:22-23) - Many will never try to walk one mile (let alone one millennium), in God’s Moccasins. 22
(Matthew 5:41-42) As a result, they make snap judgments about things they know nothing about.
The End Result?
Many, probably the vast majority, never see, will never honor, nor ever come close to experiencing the Love of the Father, nor the love of the Son, nor will ever know the beauty of their Majesty, that is wrapped up in Their Humility.
Another Challenge we must overcome: Our own proclivity to being immediately offended …
This is a subset of spiritual blindness, and one of the most prominent telltales signs that a person is spiritually blind.
Why do so many get so offended when they read God’s Testimony, or get challenged to See the World from God’s Eternal Perspective?
One reason many people get offended? Preconceived Notions.
Many don’t seek to view God’s Testimony from God’s Point of View, simply because they refuse to see History from God’s eternal perspective.
Typically, a man will only “find” what he is looking for. If he is not looking for something, chances are good he won’t find it.
Many simply don’t Seek to See, What is Good in His Sight.
Why? Because they have already been previously influenced to believe: God is Mean. God is Capricious. Why? Because they have chosen to believe Man’s Testimony about God, and have chosen to reject God’s Testimony about himself. But it gets worse than that.
Just like Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden, many have chosen the serpent’s version of God and taken a deep spiritual offense against God, before ever truly hearing from God, or ever meeting God on a personal level,
In essence they have chosen to believe in, trust in, follow, and even worship man made idols, in order to worship their own particular pet SIN.
So, where does man’s testimony about God come from? Where does each man get his ideas about God? Did they come from God? or Did they come from some other source? And what source would tell us that:
God is Malevolent. God hates our Fun. God wants us to be unhappy. God doesn’t care about our temporal pleasures. God doesn’t care about our current suffering. God hasn’t done anything to help me. God is lying about our eternal future. Therefore, I can’t believe in God. And moreover, I hate the God that I don’t even believe in!
HOW WHACK IS THAT?
Where would a man get such ideas and such attitudes?
Again, when you learn God’s Testimony, the Truth is Stranger than Fiction. (Genesis 3:1-7)
In essence, ALL of man’s ideas about God, that don’t come from God, have been poisoned by the Enemy of God, just as Adam and Eve’s minds were poisoned, so have yours and my minds have been poisoned.
We must realize that every good lie has an element of truth, but behind the lie is rottenness to the core. Every lie we receive poisons not only our minds, but our bodies, with the potential to poison our soul for all of eternity, thus robbing us of our eternal inheritance in God. The more we give into those lies, the more we set up ourselves for a FALL.
Note: Our temporal inheritance in this World, has already been robbed, polluted and mutilated.
A quick review of all the evil in the world happening this very day, should be more than enough evidence to confirm that fact.
But if that is not convincing enough, just look back a few years in history and review the great and dominant world leaders of the 20th century. (You know the drill: Hitler, Stalin, Lenin, Mao, Pol Pot, Castro, and the rest.)
the only reason that level of evil is not running rampant. This very hour is because the hand of God is holding it back, but at any point, God can choose to remove his hand and let go of the reigns of evil. And at some point, we know that God says that must happen, and we need to be prepared for it. So here’s the big question have you prepared yourself? Have you prepared your children, your friends, your parents, your neighbors, and the list goes on. If you have not prepared, what do you expect will happen?
Now tell me with a straight face: “These men, stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, etc., were they following God?”
Were they creating the world to be a better place, by murdering, killing, torturing, and starving millions of their own citizens, while they all “lived high on the hog”?
And would you trust them and their teachers, leaders, and propaganda machines, to tell you the truth about God?
The truth be told: they were all immensely offended by God and God’s word, god’s laws, God’s, kingdom, and God’s heavenly perspective.
And guess what? The same evil spiritual darkness, as gradually, taking control of our current education system, current political system, current religious systems, and cultural consciousness in America today.
And you know the one thing they all shared in common. They hated the Word of God. They did their best to remove the Word of God from School, from politics, and from every public forum in society.
In other words, they were all offended by the Word of God.
Do you think we should follow in their footsteps? Should you or I carry someone else’s Offense? How smart is that: TO CARRY A THIRD-PARTY OFFENSE?
Ever meet someone that was offended by you, that you have never met? They were offended by you because one of their friends was offended by you, that you also never met.
This problem is an age old problem.
Just as Adam and Eve, rejected the Testimony of God, and became offended by God, we can become offended by God.
Eve became offended by something the Serpent said, about God. Not about any direct communication that she had with God herself.
And guess what?
WE GET OFFENDED BY GOD THE SAME WAY TODAY.
HOW STUPID IS THAT?
In fact, it is very popular to do so. In fact, God has predicted that many more will do so shortly.
People will be harder to reach. Offended minds will be even more sensitive than they are now.
Darkness is coming rapidly. Are you and I ready for the impact?
Our children and grandchildren will be even more convinced that the Bible is full of lies, than we were at their age.
One big difference between us, and Adam and Eve, is that we have had 6000 years of recorded history, testimonies of individual lives, and testimonies of whole nations that have rejected God and suffered for it.
We also have reliable testimony coming from those who have obeyed God, and been blessed for that.
Check out this famous study. It is an incredible testimony, demonstrating the curses that just one family can bring into the world leading them to do EVIL, versus the blessings another family can bring into the world, and lead them to do GOOD just by walking in God’s wisdom and ways, and seeing what is GOOD IN GOD’S SIGHT.

But, even though we have incredibly reliable records. We have ignored, neglected, disdained, mock, and mistreated the LAWS of God, not because they were not credible, but because we are offended by them. How dumb is that? Can you see how that sets you up for failure? Can you see how that sucks you down into a rabbit hole? Can you see that you are being set up for hating God, that will block your ears, blind your eyes, and harden your heart for all eternity?
We have seared our collective CONSCIENCE as a modern society. We have proclaimed the Bible is an ancient myth. SO NOW: no matter where we turn we will be hearing the Voice of the Enemy., because any thing that does not come from God will be supplanted and diverted into the enemy plans for your life.
In other words, there are only two ultimate sources of information:
- One Is from Above
- The other is from Below
From my perspective: The Majority of people I met in schools, at work, on the street, in homes, and even the majority of my own family:
…. Have chosen Man’s Testimony about God, over and above God’s Testimony about Himself. And the most ferocious critics have hardly ever read the Bible, or understood its content, or ever seen “What is Good is God’s Sight.”
Why is that? Because their minds were poisoned just like mine was, and Just Like Adam and Eve’s were, just like Pharaoh’s was, just like Hitler’s was. and the list goes on and on.
The only hope I have for anyone, including myself, is that they, and we, and you, and me … will all have a change of Heart, a change of Mind, and change of Spirit, a change of Perception at the very root of our being. And guess what that is called? it is a simple six letter word. And imagine that, it is the very first word of the Gospel Message.
You know what that word is? TNEPER.
In order to read that WORD, you are going to have to change your perspective. You may have to turn around, or turn it around so to speak. You are going to need to see that word with a new perception, a new mindset if you will..
Many people who have claimed to have “gotten religion,” or “gotten saved,” or who even have claimed to be “born-again” have never seen this six letter word from God’s Heavenly Understanding. Why is that? Because they have never seen: What is Good is God’s Sight.
And many who claim to believe God’s Word, use it as a scam to make money and control and manipulate People, who also have never read, nor seen “What is Good in God’s Sight.”
The Truth be Told: We all have the Evidence of His Glorious Creation all around us, and still reject we the Truth about Him, that He has freely given us.
The Truth be Told: God himself has a little formula that will identify our problem with not receiving, believing, or seeing this World from His Perspective, and it goes like this:
For unto every one that hath,
[more] shall be given,
and he shall have abundance:
but from him that hath not
[it] shall be taken away, [from him]
even that which he hath.
Matthew 25:29 (KJV)
Therefore, we as a society: We are without Excuse. We have chosen to become his enemy, rather than his ally. We have chosen to use the Gifts that He has given us: Eyes that can See, Ears that can Hear, Minds that can Reason, Hearts that can be loyal.
All these Gift we have used them to Fight Against God, and harm His Holy Word, His Holy Name, and His Holy Children. All the while staying offended at God and His Law.
We know intuitively in our own conscience that we have done wrong. We feel the guilt. We carry the shame. We know the insecurities that we create, but we just don’t acknowledge, nor recognize their source: That we have become enemies of God in our minds and our addictions.
Why is That? Because we are empty, we are thirsty, we are hungry, but we keep drinking sewer water, and chewing on decaying carcasses, instead of drinking Living Water, and Eating from “The Tree of Life.“
We are spiritually dead, because we have never eaten the Spiritual Food our Heavenly Father has abundantly Provided.
That is the whole reason this website is being created. To challenge all souls, both young and old, rich and poor, for the offended and skeptical, as well as, to the open and reasonable–to the religious, and the non-religious. We all have an opportunity set before us and the challenge to overcome our own offended-ness.
The Truth is: Many have never been intentionally educated in the Things of God: never learned about the riches of God, the Promises of God, the Purposes of God, nor about the Patience of God, nor about the Warnings of God; nor the Forgiveness of God towards men who choose to Repent of their Evil Minds and Evil Deeds.
Let this point be well established in your mind: Once you dig into the Patience and Forgiveness, the Long Suffering and Endurance and Permanence of God, through his entire Testimony (from Cover to Cover, from Genesis to Revelation), the Truth of who He is and what He has done will become Self-Evident.
Once you see the Depth, Breadth, Width, Power, and Height, of all the Evil–ready to destroy all of God’s People, and All of God’s Creation, then maybe you will begin to see that God is Loving, Just, Patient, Protective, and Forgiving.
Only after that will you begin to value and believe that Plan of God to Fix everything.
To Right Every Wrong.
To Reward every Good Deed. And to abundantly supply all that we need to endure this Minor temporary (though ugly) existence–that will shortly end for everyone of us, in order to inherit his Major Holy Heavenly Eternal Existence–that will never end.
.
Judgment is Coming: Are we ready for it?
And God will do what is Good in His Sight, but will we be walking in agreement with Him or stand offended Against Him?
There comes a time, when God must act: for the Protection of ALL THAT IS GOOD.
God must Correct the growing Evil, all around us: Like He did during Noah’s Flood. He must bring a cleansing correction just as He did in Sodom’s Day.
If God didn’t do what He did, chances are good you and I would not be alive today. Nor would we be able to endure, nor survive the very real onslaught that is being held back by His Sovereign Hand right this moment. If the enemies of God had gotten their way, you and I would be dead already.
Like a skilled Oncologist (cancer doctor), God will rightly choose to remove one fully cancerous and unredeemable lung, in order to save the whole person. A person can survive with only one lung. But he cannot survive with no lung.
Saving lives is what God Does. And the biggest cancer I need to be saved from in my own offended-ness. I know that I can easily be offended. I can easily get frustrated. I can quickly turn my back on God with everything I want doesn’t go my way. Therefore my biggest threat that I need saving from is my own Mind and my own Heart.
The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
Jeremiah 17:9 (KJV)
I would do well to turn that scripture into a prayer of Confession. “Oh, God! My heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked. Forgive me, Oh God. Have mercy on me, and forgiven my rebellious nature and heal my wandering selfish mind? May the Blood of Jesus wash me from my Sin. And make me new again. I am in desperate need of You, Today! Teach me Your Ways!
God is good at what He does, but He only works with those willing to do things His Way. He will not override an individual’s freedom to do wrong. We must choose God over our sin. God over our Greed. God over our Lust. God over our proclivity to: Lying, Stealing, Hating, Gluttony, Gossip, Jealousy, Bitterness, Resentment, Pride, Arrogance, Narcissism, Selfishness, Revenge, Offended-ness, Retaliation, and Murder.
We must choose God over our own Darkness, and our own Idols. Over our powers of manipulation and control. And the list goes on.
.
Our Time Here is Limited:
Once God sends out his message to Repent: There is only a short window of Time. That window will not stay open to us forever. In fact, there is no guarantee, that tomorrow our number might be called up. For Example:
God had mercy on Nineveh, when he said to Jonah:
Jonah 4:11 (KJV) And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than sixscore thousand persons [a population estimate of more than 120,000 individuals] that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much cattle?
God sent Jonah, his chosen Prophet to Nineveh. Jonah didn’t want to go, but God arranged a specific travel service to get his prophet to his intended audience, before their hour of grace was burned up. Miraculously, God got his message to the lost souls of Nineveh, and for the time being: They Repented, but what happened later.
See Jonah 3:1-10, for context
Matthew 12:41 “The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and, behold, a greater than Jonah is here.” [Jesus is speaking here, the greater one is himself …]
Jonah preached during the reign of Jeroboam II, which dates his existence to around 786-746 BC, but
Nahum another Bible Prophet, preached to Nineveh around 615 BC.
This time Nineveh chose not to repent, so God did what he promised he would do, He wiped out Nineveh. You can actually see the ruins of Nineveh, today. See video below if interested.
Why do so many people groups become so corrupt, just like Nineveh?
Why do they choose not to listen to God’s Voice? … “Have ye not Read?”
Due to a lack of honesty and transparency: And the poisoning of young minds:
… Many people never “SEE” God’s Benevolent Patience and Long Suffering.
Why? Because they have “never read” (nor were they taught) about God’s Incredible Record of Longsuffering–Even when people are breaking every good law that He gave them for their own benefit, and for the protection of All.
What happens when sexual sin (and all the related sins) “takes root” in a group of people?
For Example: Let’s just look at one Sin.
Adultery doesn’t doesn’t just kill one unwanted baby–Through Abortion, No. Adultery destroys a whole marriage, which destroys a whole Family, which destroys, not only the parents, but also the children. This one sin invites destruction into a family lineage for several generations.
Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them [their idols, lying ideologies, perverse forms of evil worship], nor serve them [participate in their sexually immoral and impure orgies, licentiousness, and party spirit]: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God,
Exodus 20:5-7 (KJV)
—Visiting the iniquity [sin] of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
Make Note of this: Once a sexual sin enters into a particular family lineage, it becomes like a cancer that tries to cling to everyone in the family, especially into the future Generations. A thorough study of the Adultery of King David will clearly justify these facts. The horrific damage he brought into his family lineage, clung to the Tree of David for many generations to come. And destroyed man sons in the process. 1) Ammon, 2) Absalom, 3) Adonijah, 4) the Son of Bathsheba who died shortly after birth–all, 5) Solomon’s Addiction to Sexual Sin, having seven hundred wives, and three hundred concubines. And his wives turned away his heart away from God.
Adultery doesn’t just fracture the parent’s relationship. It poisons all relationships in the family. All relationships become fractured: the children, the aunts and uncles, the nieces and nephews, grandparents, grandchildren, every one is fractured, and sexual sin is to blame. And you will notice that once sin enters into the camp, it’s damn hard to get it out of the camp. That is why Jesus said:
Matthew 19:4-6 (KJV) Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, 5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? 6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. (In the vernacular that could read, “Let not man rip them apart!”)
Have ye not read?
The Family was not designed by God to be Ripped Apart!
The Family Bond in the Sacred Marriage (physical union), was not designed by God, to be Ripped Apart!
The Spiritual Bond created by the Covenant of God, through which the Blessing of God is transferred to the children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, and so on, was not design to be Ripped Apart!
The Baby in the Womb, was not designed by God, to be Ripped Apart!
Whoever does this to a baby, or a baby’s family, whoever betrays his family, and sets about to rip it apart … it would be better for him that he was never born.
It will be the same for the one who tries to rip apart the The Family of God. Like Judas, who betrayed Jesus for a few pieces of silver, others today are betraying Jesus for a paycheck, for higher standing in their company, in their social and business circles, and political circles, they sell out for a few pieces of silver, a piece of fruit, a bowl of red beans, and a lie that will make themselves look good to a community (Ananias and Sapphira). (See for yourself:)
Matthew 18:6-10 (KJV) 6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. 7 Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh! 8 Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire. 9 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire. 10 Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.
When Sin Poisons a Family, it Rips the soul and the blessing of God, right out of a godly marriage and replaces it with the curses of man. Just for the record: I don’t want that indictment on my criminal record, recorded in the Books of Heaven. Not for me. Not for you. Not for anyone.
All it takes is a little bit of evil leaven to leaven the whole lump of dough. And Adultery is that kind of leaven, so is abortion, so is drinking, drugging, partying, pornography, homosexuality, LGBQT+, child sacrifice (abortion) all these are abominations the Word of God denounces in the strongest language for the good of the children, and the family, and the nation.
What Happens: When we reject God’s Word, Ways, and Will?
We set our families up for failure. We program them to self destruct.
When People get cut off from their own people, and from the Truth that extends back to the Beginning:
—The tight knit love bound (meant to bond and connect people for multiple generations) gets broken. The gracious work of protecting and nurturing everyone in the family, from the least to the greatest, is no longer relevant. Backbiting enters in. Selfishness enters in. Lust and Greed enter in take up residency. Accusations from within and without continue to divide, destabilize, and ultimately destroy the Family God created for you and I and all of our relatives, neighbors, and nations to be protected in.
Then what is left. Men, women, and children are left to scramble and fend for themselves, in a world that is looking for ways to use and abuse them, (ushering people into drugs, a party spirit, sexual promiscuity, pornography, sex trafficking, child Pedophilia, prostitution, sex slavery), and the rabbit hole just gets deeper and deeper. In other words, people, parents, children, teachers, priests, and movie agents, all can become vampires, ready to strike and suck the blood and life out of the most vulnerable and innocent ones. Thus, outside of God, the whole culture is setup to fail, and self destruct miserably, falling so far away from the blessing and grace of God originally intended, that the lost have no idea on how to get it back.
Once this stage hits a culture, the majority just give up and give in. They just follow the crowd and do what they are doing. Is it Coke? Fentanol? WhiteLightning? Is it Elvis Pressley and sex in the back seat, the Beatles and LSD, Rage Parties, Rap Parties, Head Bangers, Cowboy Country Boozing. Whatever the current trend, people just tend to do that.
Why? Because they were never reached by the Message of God. They never understood the dangers involved in ignoring God, like Nineveh learned the hard way.
They were never told about How God warned nation after nation, ruler after ruler, family after family–so the multitudes kept rejected God’s Warnings, and God’s History. They spurned His Promises. They Broke His Covenant. Then, only after many attempts of God to correct them: They faced God’s inevitable Judgment.
Sometimes God sent his prophets and warnings to his evil children for more than 400 years before He brought His Judgments against them. This is what happened to the Amorites. 23 (Please check out this footnote, or click here: it will blow your mind! Just click on it, and it will take you directly to the footnote.

Abortion
Here is Our Problem: We are the Modern Day Amorites, on the brink of God’s Judgment without a clue about what is shortly going to happen. Just like Nineveh and the Amorites were clueless When God’s Judgment came upon them, so America and our families are Clueless — Today!
Many don’t seek to understand the History or Problems which God, the Father is constantly seeking, and needing to Correct. It is a matter of our Spiritual Survival!
Again, our own spiritual blindness keeps us oblivious to the Workings of Laws of God.
Many Men don’t see their stubborn hardened hearts.
(1 Corinthians 2:14)
Why is that?
Mostly, because they truly don’t want to see them. Because they don’t want to deal with the problems they themselves are creating in the world all around them.
You cannot force a person to see want they have chosen deep down inside to not see.
“You can lead an atheist to water, but you can’t make him think.” (1 Corinthians 2:11-12)
Men simply don’t see what don’t want to see, and they are internally conflicted, and repulsed by God’s Perspective, so they can’t see it.
(Romans 8:6-8)
Because men are not looking through God’s Eternal Lens, they really don’t care one whit about knowing or seeing Life from God’s Heavenly Mindset. As such they continue to nurture and their bent and Evil mindsets, that have taken root, until the tree bears progressively more and more evil fruit, and finally they get taken out.
There is a way which seemeth right unto a man,
Proverbs 14:12 (KJV)
but the end thereof are the ways of death.
Written by Solomon, circa 1000 B.C.
But this kind of “being taken out” is the permanent kind. Yeah, that means for all eternity.
Men who don’t want to take responsibility for their thoughts, beliefs, and actions, certainly don’t want to be confronted with God’s Perspective. Why? Because that would make them accountable. And they intuitively know this, so they typically run hard and fast away from it.
- When a man doesn’t care to look up how many times God has pleaded with nations, who chose not to Repent of their Evil, and then he blames God for being the Evil One, for judging evil people: This only shows how far an ignorant man will run to stay ignorant.
- When men choose not to walk in the Light, and choose not LIFE, but chose to rather die than Change–Like in the Days of Noah, they demonstrate how hard hearted they truly are.
- When men take no interest is learning about the 100’s to 1000’s of years that God pleaded with evil men to repent and change their evil ways–before HE JUDGED THEM: And yet the same men are so quick to Judge God in a snap judgement, saying How Evil God is to be so mean to such nice people …
This only shows us HOW COMMITTED men are to: 1) deny the Truth, 2) Not Fear God’s Justice and Righteousness, and 3) never come to know the Goodness of God.
This only further proves that men really have no desire to know the Truth, but still want to claim that they know better than God.
Men are quick to Condemn God for calling evil men into Judgement, and executing Divine Justice against them.
Like the drug dealing pimp, that gets mad at you for setting one of his sex slaves free from his grip–then calling attention to your injustice. How dare you cheat him! Or Steal from him!
Men arrogantly believe that if they were God, they would do a much better job of managing human life, and the Universe, and Evil Satan, than God is doing.
In Noah’s day it was a narrow escape. God waited up to the last moment. What would have happened if God failed to protect Noah and his righteous family?
You and I would even be here to share these thoughts.
God, Yahweh, the God of Abraham, promised Abraham, that He would have spared the both Sodom and Gomorrah, if His Messengers could find at least 10 righteous men in the whole city, because Abraham interceded with God on behalf of the City.
But 10 righteous men could not be found.
What if the majority of men today who put on religious robes, have failed to meet the standards of the ten righteous men, God is looking for?
What if God cannot find 10 righteous men in your city, or in my City?
What will happen to us and our families on the Day we have to stand before a Holy God?
It is a fearful thing to fall
Hebrews 10:31 (KJV)
into the hands of the living God.
When the world and the minds of men were beyond saving (except Noah’s immediate family), when Only 8 souls survived that judgement, and sin abounded more and more: At Some Point Ultimate Justice will be served.
And Note: That is not a statement about how mean God is, but about how evil the people can become.
Remember, in Sodom and Gomorrah: The Men of the City Tried to Gang Rape the Angels God sent to investigate the Evil in the City. It’s hard to get much more perverted and committed to doing evil than that!
But …. AGAIN … God wanted to show mercy, God wanted to suspend Judgement, but he could no longer wait. He had to act. He had to contain the Evil. He needed to wipe out the sin centered virus that had infected the people, like a deadly cancer that would only spread and spread and spread. And again, it is spreading wide and far at this very hour.
Many don’t care to understand that God sent his Prophets to Speak TO Evil Nations and Evil rulers, throughout history before exercising their final judgments against them.
BUT men, instead of listening carefully and respectfully to God’s Messengers, the Rulers, and the people of the Nations beat God’s Prophets, Tortured them, imprisoned them, stoned them, lit them on Fire, impaled them, poisoned them, sawed them in two, and worse. (see Matthew 21:35-37; Hebrews 11:37-40).
Once you Begin to Understand This World’s continually evil and demonically wicked history: You will give God all the Room He wants to bring Judgment against the Unrighteous.
Just like today, the Wicked attack the most vulnerable in their own society. The children, after raping them, they killed their babies, and sacrificed them in the fire to Molech, Chemosh, Milcom, Baal, Ashtoreth, Ishtar, Zeus, Jupiter, Diana, Aphrodite, Artemis, Venus, Pan, Dionysus, Eros, Hera, Krishna, Isis, Osiris, Semiramis & so forth.
Take Note: We are doing more damage to our children in this Nation Today, than possibly anyone other time in History.
We have no more higher moral ground to stand on above those: A) in Nazi Germany, B) in Stalin’s Russia, C) in Mao’s China, nor D) in Pol Pot’s Cambodia.
We have executed and annihilated, tortured, dismembered, and wicked trashed our most vulnerable, most precious, most and the most dependent people in our society. We as American’s have allowed the slaughter of more than 70 million babies. (That’s more than Hitler, Stalin, and Pol Pot combined.) On of the least safe places for a baby today is in her mother’s womb.
We have no higher ground to stand on than the most evil nations in the history of the mankind. So let us not deceive ourselves about our own areas of incrimination.
Sex trafficking, pornography, movies and the mega entertainment industry, that that has sex and killing as their main themes of entertainment.
Most American’s have their religious services in front of their Home Entertainment Centers, in front of their big screen Theaters. They worship their big screen God’s and goddesses, in their temples at home. But they are every bit as evil and corrupt as those who went to pagan temples, to get their worship on, and to get their fill of dirty ideas, and dirty deeds.
According to www.iAsk.ai How many sex scenes, and how people are killed in an average Hollywood, Action/Adventure movie?
Answer: In an average Hollywood action-adventure movie, there are typically 0-2 sex scenes. The number of people killed in such movies can vary widely, but it is common to see a significant amount of on-screen deaths ranging from 5 to 50 or more, depending on the specific film and its storyline.
I’ve read other estimates of movies having 300 to 500 deaths per movie.
Now: Be your own self-examiner and answer this question: How does this movie average square with the New Testament Instruction to:
Finally, brethren,
Philippians 4:8-9 (KJV)
- whatsoever things are true,
- whatsoever things are honest,
- whatsoever things are just,
- whatsoever things are pure,
- whatsoever things are lovely,
- whatsoever things are of good report;
- if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise,
think on these things.
Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.
Even when God does speak to his people directly, like God spoke directly to Cain (Genesis 4:1–12), many often stop up their ears, close their eyes, and harden their hearts, and do that which is evil in God’s Sight–regardless, and heedless of the Direct Warning of God–even as they did in Jesus Day, even as they do so Today.
Read for yourself, the God’s Account of How the Nations, and even Israel herself treated the prophetic Messengers of God: See Matthew 21, below.
.
Are there not always 2 Sides to every Story?
It is vitally important that you learn both sides to a story before you pass a rash and uninformed judgement, against God, and then alienate yourself, your mind, your heart, your spirit and your soul, from seeing Life from God’s Eternal Perspective. That is a dangerous way to live. It blocks you from your eternal inheritance. It robs you of your true purpose for being born. It keeps you in the Dark. It blocks the light from entering your soul.
If that is what you want, then God will let you have it. He will not override your own personal choice to reject Him, His Life, His Word and His Kingdom that is Completely Connected to His Eternal Perspective, but I challenge you and your spouse, your best friend, you social circle and all who will listen, to read this message from God, in Matthew 21, and seek to understand it from God’s Perspective, and let that understanding influence you in all your future judgements, and temptations to ridicule God, or to ridicule, one of his faithful (although imperfect) witnesses.
They seized God’s servants; they beat one, killed another, and stoned a third.
Then God sent other servants to them, more than the first time …
{But even with God’s Benevolence, there comes a time when: Enough is Enough!}
HOW WOULD YOU HAVE HANDLED THE FOLLOWING SCENARIO?
Matthew 21:33-46 (KJV) 33 Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen [farmers], and went into a far country: 34 And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it. 35 And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another. 36 Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise. 37 But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son. 38 But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance. 39 And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him. 40 When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh,
…”What will he do unto those husbandmen?“
41 [Then] They [the people in the audience] say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons. 42
Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? 43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. 44 And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. 45 And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them. 46 But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they took him for a prophet.
[Note: that in biblical literature and symbolism “the Vineyard” is referring to the people of Israel. (See John 15:1-12.]
[Please note: that in biblical literature, “the cornerstone” (see Daniel 2:44 – 45) takes on significant meaning. It refers to the Messiah, the chosen one of God, who would teach the ways of God, according to the laws of God, and to which all would need to humbly submit themselves, and follow after–In order to be pleasing to God. This cornerstone was the prophet that Moses predicted would come, whom God would raise up to be the leader of the people of God. But as Isaiah 53 prophesies, the leaders of the people would reject him, abuse him, and kill him. Just exactly as they in fact did–that’s fulfilling, the parable of the vineyard. But THE ROCK that Jesus built his Kingdom upon, the Faith the He is the Messiah, that ROCK has been filling the whole earth ever since the Resurrection.]
These are things I share with you, with Great Hope. Why? Because I truly wish that someone would have shared these things with me a long time ago, when I was young, and fresh, and free from the darkness and corruption of sin and its defilements.
These are the very things–The Truth–that could have protected me from. Instead of diving into a snake pit of sensual lusts, and evil desires, like all my friends, leading to evil deeds, leading to broken lives, and broken and torn relationships–that many of you can understand from personal experience and can attest to. We all could have been building up the Kingdom of God, and restoring Men back to God, having redeeming them from the Darkness by the Preach The Kingdom of God and His Righteousness, everywhere we have gone, to everyone we have met.
Where would we be today: If we had been taught the Truth at our young and tender age?
If I had been well informed and directed by the Truth about God as a child: by both my mother and my father, by both my teachers in school, my friends in my neighborhood, by their parents, and the leaders in my spiritual fellowship, in church, I would had the chance to be well prepared and trained to become a sound and compelling voice in the world for God, at a very young age, with great faith.
I would have been far less vulnerable to the lies of men, and the power of Sin.
If this pure teaching of God’s Word, could have spared me much heart ache and evil, what could it have done for you, and your children, and your children’s children?
Train up a child in the way he should go:
and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
Proverbs 22:6 (KJV)
My Great Hope is that you will learn these truths, that will become self evident, once you have cleansed yourself of the prejudices that may have poisoned you from Seeing God, from God’s Eternal Perspective–as they had poisoned me.
What would have happened, if instead of learning the false religion of Darwin’s Evolution, that has not contributed one good thing to modern society, but has sucked trillions dollars out of our economies, doing false research, creating false institutions, supporting false degrees, creating false professors, teaching false law practices, promoting false legal and political institutions, creating False Demi-God Dictators that Robbed the World of Life and Resources, propagating the propaganda of false education 24, false publications, and false media, that has not improved one life one bit–anywhere in the world–in any real sense of the word: Good.
Our Return on Investment is Zero, or rather less than Zero. It has created a negative sum. 25 [In this footnote: a summary of the Top 10 most deadly dictators of the 20th Century are listed– the influence of Social Darwinism that fueled the killing machines–is clearly stated.]
The Theory of Evolution has bankrupted our culture, and bankrupted many nations of the World, like Nazi Germany, Mao’s China, Stalin’s Russia, Pol Pot’s Cambodia, Castro’s Cuba, and it supported hundreds of other bankrupt murderous world leaders, killing millions of their own citizens, following the precept of the survival of the fittest, taught by Darwin’s False Theory of Evolution.
Today, they still pound the drum of Darwin’s Evolution, which has been debunked for decades, to the point that even now Evolutionary Scientists are abandoning Darwin’s Theory, and seeking for other viable alternatives. [See Welcome Skeptics for more details on this topic.]
What if instead of all that nonsense, we had been trained in the True History, Promises, Warnings, Plans and Purposes of God’s Salvation? Where would we be today, standing as individuals, and as families, and communities, and a nation?
Why is it that when women play God (and decide who lives and who dies, according to their own whims, fancies, and convenience)–We applaud them? But when God plays God, and decides who dies according to His own strict rules of Heavenly Justice, Mercy, Truth and Righteousness: We condemn him–without even examining the context, facts, circumstances or background of God’s Actions?
Here is my Theory to Answer the above Question:
Men do not seek to understand, because they don’t want to understand. Why? Because if they really understood, then they would become accountable to what they understood–and they don’t want that accountability!
It is just like Jesus said:
And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world,
and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light,
lest his deeds should be reproved. John 3:19-20 (KJV)
The Problem is that Simple.
But, Many don’t understand this, because: They don’t “Seek First, the Kingdom, and His Righteousness”.
(Matthew 6:33-34) As a result, they don’t honor His Perspective, nor even attempt to understand it.
The Worldly Wise and the Carnally Proud are Blind to Seeing what is “Good in God’s Sight“. They want to stay way far away from SEEING. Therefore, they refuse to SEE. Just as Cain before he killed Abel. Just as Judas before He betrayed Jesus. Just as Pharaoh before He entered into the Red Sea.
That is why they immediately try to shut down any conversation that enters into the Light, and Sheds the Truth on the dark souls of men, especially today on college campuses, and at Gay Pride Parades. Many are seeking the Truth, like a convicted thief/robber/and rapist is seeking the police having escaped from his jail cell.
Again: Why So Many Offended? “Although they knew God … they”
Many come into “the God conversation” already offended …
They are constantly looking for more ways to stay offended. Their main goal is to justify their own offended-ness, just like Adam and Eve, just like Judas Iscariot. Instead of dealing with the root reason they are offended, they choose to blame God, and choose to justify themselves.26 As “Know-it-All’s,” they try to capture the High Moral Ground, and will die defending that Hill–By condemning God, for “the crimes” they themselves, and others, have committed, against God, but God sees through the thin veil of their duplicity. And guess what? He does play games with man’s spiritually shifting loyalty, emotionally unstable faithfulness, and mentally deficient reasonings. God simply refuses to participate.
Men want things from God, but they block themselves from receiving, by refusing to come humbly to God through the Gate God has freely provided them. 27 (Matthew 19:24) With their own intellect (which is the highest gift God has given them), they choose to use it to find ways to denounce God, and even deny God’s existence. 28 They have blocked their ears to become deaf. 29 They closed their eyes to become blind. 30 They have shut down their brain to become fools. 31
The Only Remedy: Is to see God and the entire world, as well as the Universe, from God’s Heavenly Perspective. Why would a man choose to see anything less than that?
For Although at one time: “They Knew God, [BUT] they glorified him not as God …
Neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations … As a result, men sink, deeper and deeper into darkness and wickedness, sin and rebellion, carnal depravity, debauchery, hatred, murder and eternal death. And then they have the gaul to blame God for their perversions, debauchery, delusions, and lies.
Romans 1:20-32 (KJV) … so that they are without excuse: 21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
[HOW CRAZY IS THAT?!! HOW MENTALLY INSANE???]
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.[SADLY, MEN TODAY WEAR THEIR WICKED LUSTS AS BADGES OF HONOR AND PRIVILEGE, DEMANDING THAT MEN AND GOD BOW DOWN TO THEIR VICTIMHOOD! AND IT ONLY GETS WORSE THAN THAT … ]
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.[Now let us ask: WHERE HAS HOMOSEXUALITY, OR THE LGBTQ+ EVER CONTRIBUTED TO AN IMPROVEMENT IN SOCIETY, THROUGHOUT HISTORY? WHAT HAS IT CONTRIBUTED TO OUR MODERN WORLD? (except for the AIDS epidemic?) IN EVERY CASE IT LED TO THE DOWNFALL OF A SOCIETY–in every cultural homosexuality advanced to the leadership of a country, that was the sign of the demise of that country throughout history. IT WAS AND STILL IS THE FINAL SIGN OF A DEATH THROTTLING OF A FORMER HEALTHY LIVING ORGANISM.
(Read it for yourself, the Biblical Records set us straight: Genesis 18:1-33, 19:1-38. AGAIN … The Truth is Stranger than Fiction. And the Footprint of Evil has been kept, and the evidence of God’s Judgment has been kept preserved for us to see clearly today, even right now. The Dead Sea is actually the lowest place on the face of the earth, and to this day the evidence of God’s Judgement is still completely visible, although it was the lushest green valleys you could imagine. It to this day is a place covered with little sulphur balls, and the signs of the intense heat and direct destruction of God. All this was left as evidence for the entire World of Men to remember.)
(Now read a repeat scenario, only this time, the wicked virus has infected an outlying group of people in the tribe Benjamin, one of the 12 tribes of Israel, one of the possessors of the Covenant of God, who were were at one time a part of the glory of Israel. But the evil spirit brought into the bowels of their stubborn evil wickedness, and rebellion to God, led them into an immoral and unspeakable society of disgrace. Read for yourself: Judges 19:1-30; Judges 20:1-48; but the evil doesn’t stop there: Read Judges 21:1-25. [Ending with this final statement: “In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes. Judges 21:25][Back to Romans Chapter One:]
Romans 1:20-32
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient [“wickedly evil,” the Bible’s Understatement is classic here]; 29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
As we can see all around us … the stubbornness of men’s hearts against God, testify against them, just as Pharaoh’s Heart testified against himself, before Moses, and Before all Egypt, and all of Israel.
Pharaoh’s hardness of heart is still legendary and testifying to us today. His stubbornness led him to drown himself and his whole army, and all of his chariots in the Red Sea. Certainly, any man with common sense would not go into a sea with walls of water towering above him on either side, clearly held up by the hand of God. Who would think such a thought? Can you imagine trying to be one of pharaoh’s war counselors at this juncture?
“And now, you are going to into the depths of the Sea,
to kill God’s Children, and you think that is going to go well for you?“
How Could Pharaoh have had such warped thinking? [for although they knew God …]
Could he have just been a “Know-it-All” Narcissist type personality, just like you or me? Or was he, just another offended person, who was refusing to see his world and his life through God’s Unique and Challenging Heavenly Perspective?
.
But seek ye first the kingdom of God,
and His righteousness;
and all these things shall be
added unto you.
Matthew 6:33 (KJV)
.
Who has the right to judge and condemn Evil behavior? Who can morally “Cast the first Stone“?
Note: What is “Good in God’s Sight” is often seen as Evil in man’s sight.
Ever hear the saying: “You’ll be damned if you do, and damned if you don’t.” In other words, “you can’t have your cake, and eat it too.” You will have to choose between one of two options. So why choose the option of following after Lies and Evil–becoming an enemy of God, when you can choose the option of Goodness and Truth–where you can become a friend, ally, and Son of Daughter of God?
So many people condemn God for allowing Evil in the World, on one side of their mouth. But then, they condemn God for punishing evil on the other side of their mouth. You can’t have it both ways–but in some hypocritical circles, that is how they think and live. And get this: They see no problem with their own lack of integrity and inconsistency in their mindsets and attitudes, as long as they can accuse God of doing and being evil.
This is a very clear sign that God has abandoned the people, that is the worst sign a society, people, individual can foresee. For this cause God gave them up … to do that which is evil in his sight. Ouch! That is the worst thing that can happen to a man, a family, or a society.
One large group, that claims to be full of Love and Mercy (compassion, forgiveness, and inclusion). They also proclaim to care about the rights of the oppressed, the vulnerable, and to fight for the rights of the marginalized in our Society: on one side of their mouth. Yet, They also organize, and strategize, and politicize the weapons of Death, and direct them to destroy the most vulnerable in our society. Together in back rooms behind closed doors, they plan the most wicked rulings in the history of mankind. They advocate the most horrifically evil, diabolically brutal and cruel forms of torture and punishment far exceeding anything ever conceived by those in the Dark Ages. Doing the will of the their father. (John 8:43-44)
Why can certain people simply not understand
God’s Voice or God’s Word?
They set Protest Rallies to end Oppression–because they have such strong beliefs. While on the other side of their mouth, they condemn to death; they rage on about their right to kill, maim, murder, the most fragile, vulnerable, and unprotected class of citizens in our society.
As a result of their super strong beliefs: tens of millions of innocent people have been brutally put to death–without a trial, and with no one defending them.
The Point Here Being:
When men proclaim Justice for the oppressed, but then go out of their way to justify their own condemnation of the only truly innocent people, and then assign this innocent people to be murdered without a trial, with no due process, with no appeal to justice, just to be burned to death, tortured, chemically poisoned, and ripped-into-pieces, and physically crushed by a man’s hand with surgical pliers, without even giving pain medication: How can these so called Social Justice Warriors live with their consciences?
The Answer: For this cause God gave them up …
Killing the most fragile, most completely innocent people, and then forcing the government and those totally opposed citizens to pay for the Holocaust they all invented behind closed doors–What kind of Justice is that? How does their testimony not add up?
But, when God judges a whole nation of Evil People whom he has warned for more than 400 years, and given them every chance to reform their evil, injustices, morally unethical, and spiritually unconscionable Evils–Him, they judge as Evil.
How is this That? … For this cause God gave them up
And themselves, they judge as Righteous. And then they wonder why there is so much evil in the world. And if God were a God of Love, he would not have allowed such evil to happen–Never realizing that if God judged the Whole World this very Hour, according to his incredibly holy and high standards, less than one tenth of one percent would likely survive the cleansing holocaust.
If you can imagine it. It would be like the Days of Noah, all over again. It would be like the Judgement of Sodom and Gomorrah, all over again. Those were just a minute foretaste of what is coming. But the question remains, are you ready for it? Are you prepared? Have you repented? Do you seek to justify yourself? Do you speak up for the 70+ Million Unborn? Do you stand against the Rising Tide of Iniquity, Immorality, and Demonic Duplicity? Or do you just abide in it? God with it, even seek it out from time to time. Party in it?
Two Old Testament Events:
That point directly to the return of Christ
What will happen on the Day God Judges the Nations? Where will you stand on that Day?
See for Yourself From God’s Eternal Perspective: He Himself will Judge the Nations.
Psalms 110 (KJV)
1 The LORD said unto my Lord,
Sit thou at my right hand,
until I make thine enemies thy footstool.
2 The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion:
rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.
3 Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth.
4 The LORD hath sworn,
and will not repent,
Thou art a priest for ever
after the order of Melchizedek.
5 The Lord at thy right hand
shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath.
6 He shall judge among the heathen,
he shall fill the places with the dead bodies;
he shall wound the heads over many countries.
7 He shall drink of the brook in the way:
therefore shall he lift up the head.
That was what God wrote in the middle book of His Testimony,
the Book of Psalms. Now let us Read what he wrote in the Final Book of His Testimony: The Book of Revelation. Prepare yourself, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, for without some strong preparation, you won’t be able to handle God’s Heavenly Testimony.
The HAND OF HOPE … more on this later. That hand is a live 21 week old baby in the womb about to receive a surgery. Find out how it turns out later.
.
John 8:43-44 (KJV)
Jesus asks us this question:
“Why do ye not understand
My Speech?“
[That is one of Life’s very valid Questions Jesus asks. Then Jesus proceeds to answer it from God’s Unique and Privileged Position. Notice that in the question itself, Jesus has presumed that we are meant to be able to hear and understand His Voice, and when we cannot do it something has gone wrong.]
“Even because ye cannot hear my word.”
[Why is that? To answer that question, Jesus pulls out His sharp double-edged sword!]
“Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do.”
He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
All I can say is: “Ouch!”
That must have hurt the ears, hearts, and minds of His original audience. And it is also a powerful warning to you and I today.
Prepare yourself, for this should not be easy reading for you.
If it is, that is a sign of a much deeper problem:
Revelation 8:6-13 (KJV)
6 And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
7 The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.
8 And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood; 9 And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.
10 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; 11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.
12 And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.
13 And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice,
Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth …
… by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels,
which are yet to sound!
In other words, what is coming next, is even heavier that what has already been.
This Begs the Question: “Do you seek to see those things which are Good in God’s Sight?”
Can you see that these Judgements of God, listed in Revelation 8, have been pending for more than 2,000 years, and that they are indeed been and are still “Good in God’s Sight”?
And yet, basically everyone with a third grade education has perfect access to them, and can read them for themselves–but how many of those people make good use of that access? Or even value the opportunity to utilize that access?
And Yet even more critically: how many have prepared themselves for the pending judgments to come?
What percent of the population really cares, really prepares, and is now ready?
Take a guess.
Then ask yourself this question: Are you sure you have thoroughly and completely prepared yourself, your family, your neighbors and your community for this coming, promised catastrophic disaster, that is promised by God?
Have you called it “Good is God’s Sight’?
If not, why not? What have your been doing with all the time God has given you? With all the gifts and talents God has given you? With all the finances and resources God has given you? With all the positions of authority, and privilege? What have your done with all of them? With all your social circles and social networks?
Will you be like the man with ten talents, or the man with one talent on the day, God comes to repay his servants?
(Matthew 25:24-30)
Are you indeed saved? Truly spiritually born again? Are you indeed walking step by step with the King of Heaven? Are you fully committed to and living by the Standards clearly laid out in order to Enter into the Kingdom of Heaven? Or have you lowered the standards that may cause you to be something less than noble in God’s Sight? Or reversely, have you done everything in your power to live nobly, and to be ready to accept your royal pure and holy Robe of Righteousness, that God is waiting, and wanting to bestow upon you?
Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him:
for the marriage of the Lamb is come,
and his wife hath made herself ready,[His wife is the Church, “the called out ones”.]
And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen,
Revelation 19:7-8 (KJV)
clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
Here is a fine, direct Biblical Question that is directly related to this issue, that we should all wisely answer with great Biblical Confidence, knowing we have done so with God’s Eternal Perspective confirming our Answer. Knowing that all we have done is “Good is God’s Sight!”:
“For what shall it profit a man,
Mark 8:36 (KJV)
if he shall gain the whole world,
and lose his own soul?
Where do you find yourself in “God’s Scale of Learning” according to God’s Perspective?
Where do you find yourself in your ability to Learn New Concepts from Totally New Perspectives, especially and particularly Biblical and Heavenly Perspectives?
On a scale of 1 to 10: Where to you fit in?
1——————–5———————-10?
- Is your learning ability fluid, agile, and discerning?
Give yourself a 7 to 10.
- Is your learning ability rigid, defensive [argumentative], and locked down?
Are you controlling and manipulative?
Give yourself a 3 to 6.
- Do you attack others? Call your opponents foul names,
and condemn them when they disagree with you?
Give yourself a 1 or 2.
Do you get easily offended by new ideas, that you have not encountered before, and become threatened by them?
Or …
Have you gained the ability to Stop, Listen, Weigh, and Examine new information and evaluate it according to its own merit, before you begin drawing conclusions, casting stones, and passing judgment?
What would your friends and family members have to say about your conversation abilities based on your past history?
Have you chosen to be: “The Know it ALL”
- One of the proud Wise and Prudent ones from which God will hide his Face? The one who talks over others? Has a haughty spirit?
. - The Know-it-All’s Cup is already full, his ears are shut, because in his own mind he knows more than others, even more than God, therefore no new information can enter into His Know-it-All Mind.
. - If this trait resides heavily in you: I pray you will reconsider this mindset’s benefits and liabilities, and choose Carefully.
. - Will God’s Wisdom and Teaching simply be inaccessible to You?
. - Do you know the Signs, Traits, distinguishing qualities and characteristics that Identify a “Know-it-ALL” with incredible clarity and accuracy?

Have you chosen to be: “The Poor in Spirit”
- One of his young humble ones, one of his babes, who receive, embrace, and treasure the Revelation of God all their days?
. - Holding the Character of Humility is one of the Highest Honors in the Kingdom of Heaven. Not so here on Earth. Those who are humble appear weak, and defenseless. Oftentimes they become targets of bullies, and cads. But When we see through our Father’s Eyes, the glory and majesty of walking humbly and faithfully before him without Pride, Anger, Resentment, Bitterness, Unforgiveness, Defensiveness, Aggression, Competition, or any other evil worldly character trait controlling our hearts, minds, speech and lives, we will throw down the lies of this world with ease. We will rise above the slime and sickness. And we will not be dragged down into the snares of Death.
. - When we shall see through Heaven’s Perfect Binoculars: We will gracefully receive His Robe of Righteousness, the Heart of Purity, and the Sacred Honor to Represent Christ with all Humility— and we shall not be ashamed, of all that we have been given, and all that has been entrusted to us. Our cup will overflow. His Wisdom and will in the end, Prevail. The Darkness will be frustrated and overpowered by the purity of God’s Gospel Wisdom, which may be utter foolishness and folly to those defiled by the world. But to those being Saved it is the Power of God, unto Salvation, bringing Glory to God for Eternity. (Matthew 5:3) 33
Here’s an Important Point: Before we leave this section, on this humility skill development topic. This may be one of the most important skills you can develop in this Life. Having this skill, or missing it, could mean the difference between life and death, success and failure, light and darkness, truth and error, blessed relationships, or wretched relationships.
If you rate yourself with a low mark, I hope you will learn how to turn that around in the near future. If you do have carried the banner of being “The Know-it-All” for sometime, you are not alone. Take it from a former struggling Know-it-All, and a reformed pig-headed Narcissist. You “can” make improvements. You are never a total lost cause. You will see your growth over time. It will not happen all at once. (This is true for all your deep inner life transformations.) So don’t get discouraged if you don’t whip your issues in one afternoon. Just remember that some of your wounds go deep, and they play havoc with your confidence, your self worth, your inner esteem, and your whole equilibrium.
You just need to know: those wounds that keep you in your place of insecurity, can and will be healed over time. That is if you do not give up, and choose not to give into them.
Hopefully you will receive that information, (and more like it), as you continue your exploration of this Website dedicated to learning, seeing, and living in the Heavenly Perspective of God’s Love, Forgiveness, Wisdom, Truth, Grace and Judgment.
If you find yourself in need of deep healing. You might consider taking a course called. The Divine Plumbline,
by Dr. Bruce Thompson, sponsored by YWAM (Youth With a Mission International). I have seen it do miracles for many hurting people who were marvelously set free from their past darkness, and heavy wounding. Ok, that’s enough on that.
May you progress boldly forward on your journey of discovery and transformation.
Shalom, Shalom!

Are you Great in the Sight of God? Do you even want to be?
Check this out:
Just a little bit of a unique perspective. For fun.
One Goal in this Life would to be Good in the Sight of God.Another Goal would be to be Great in the Sight of God.
John the Baptist was foretold to be Great in the Sight of God.
For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother’s womb.
Luke 1:15 (KJV)
And yet Jesus says, those who fully believe and walk with Jesus, in the Kingdom of God, and even greater than John the Baptist.
Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
Matthew 11:11 (KJV)
So if this is possible, how do we access it?
Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 5:19 (KJV)
Now, let’s see our potential place in the Kingdom of God, if we choose to operated in it, the way God has ordained for us to do:
And said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this child in my name receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great.
Luke 9:48 (KJV)
Again, we see the part of humility taking a place of prominence in our Kingdom of God experience, and future development. That leads us to our reward being great in the Kingdom of God. And note: rewards are given for acts of service and faithfulness to our King.
But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest…
Luke 6:35 (KJV)
And when we combine our faith and God’s faithfulness working together, even greater things can be done, that we can hardly even fathom:
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
John 14:12-15 (KJV)
If ye love me, keep my commandments.
Ok, with all that preparatory and precursor information, (questioning, examining, and reflecting going on), as well as our hopeful, mental and spiritual transforming going on:
We should be in a pretty good place to begin to Address,
the 6 Tough Life Questions set before us.
In the near future, we will prove: How well we understood, valued, and honored–Both the questions, and our responses, and all the personal challenges involved.
The Rewards are Great for those who will seek them.
Chances are good the many will not give these questions, the serious thought, that they deserve, nor take on serious challenges that they inherently call us to. Such will be the Nature, Mind, and Heart of all who neglect God’s Perspective.
I pray that you may be one of the few who will, 1) take the time, and 2) make the effort … to gain a rich understanding of wisdom and discernment from God’s Perspective, gaining an honest and pure conviction, that God will give you His power and grace, His love and faith to his will, to keep His word, (putting it into action into your life), and to spread that life to those around you. 34

Before I formed thee in the “Womb” I knew thee
Jeremiah 1:4-9 (KJV)
.
4 Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and
I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. 6 Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child.
7 But the LORD said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak. 8 Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the LORD. 9 Then the LORD put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth.
Children in the womb, have a soul and a spirit, that is alive and fully functioning, and understands things that are happening all around them. They feel pain, fear, and aggression. They also feel joy, and exhilaration. Often people have vivid memories recorded and shared that they could have only known about or gathered while they were in the womb of their mothers.
He Leaped for Joy
from within my Womb …
Luke 1:41-45 (KJV) 41 And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost: 42 And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. 43 And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? 44 For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy. 45 And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.
This is the first question we truly need to answer.
A Simple Question to Answer, Right?
I came from my mother’s womb.
But Wait. Now, where did she come from? Her Mother, of course.
But where did she come from? A Monkey? An Amoeba? Or did she come from Adam and Eve, who came from God?
My choice that “I CHOOSE” will literally change everything about me.
Who am I? Where am I from? Where am I going? How will I get there?
Everything Changes with this one choice. And the World knows It.
That’s why it is fighting so hard to keep this generation in the dark?
Just as God abundantly predicted it would.
.
Just as in the Days of Moses, there was a genocide of Children, 36 decreed by the Law of the Land. So today, we have been under the same curse, sacrificing our precious little ones unto the God of Moloch (the People of Ammon) 37 and to Chemosh (the people of Moab) 38.
Please Note: Moab and Ammon are the two sons of Lot born by incest with his daughters, who were raised and influenced in their mindsets by the people and culture of Sodom and Gomorrah. Which kind of proves the point when you build on a broken, decayed, immoral foundation, you’re going to build a crappy building. If you start with a bad seed, chances are good, you are going to get bad fruit in due time. If your family tree is not thoroughly grounded and living from the Tree of Life (by Faith), then it is probably getting its education from the hearts and minds of corrupt men and women, without the full Truth and Love of God.
But when you start with a good seed, laying a solid foundation … like upon the revelation of the God of Psalms 139, you are going to build a lasting building, a Heavenly Tree that is going to feed people unto and into Eternity.
This shouldn’t need to be said, but just for the Record: Our Current Abortion Culture has been founded upon a bad seed, growing in a field of evil, built upon a broken, decayed, and toxic landfill, full of Dead Babies, more that 70 million since Roe v. Wade. This evil Culture has far outstripped any wickedness the early nations of Chemosh and Moloch worship reproduced. That is what men do when they choose to walk in their own wisdom. When they completely ignore who created them, and why, and for what purpose, and to what end.
That’s why it’s so important to answer the question of where did I come from from God’s perspective, and not men’s?
Am I Fearfully & Wonderfully Made? (Psalms 139)
Psalms 139 (KJV) TO THE CHIEF MUSICIAN, A PSALM OF DAVID.
.
1 O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me.
2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising,
thou understandest my thought afar off.
3 Thou compassest my path and my lying down,
and art acquainted with all my ways.
4 For there is not a word in my tongue,
but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.
5 Thou hast beset me behind and before,
and laid thine hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
it is high, I cannot attain unto it.
7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit?
or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there:
if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.
9 If I take the wings of the morning,
and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
10 Even there shall thy hand lead me,
and thy right hand shall hold me.
11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me;
even the night shall be light about me.
12 Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee;
but the night shineth as the day:
the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.
13 For thou hast possessed my reins:
thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb.
14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made:
marvellous are thy works;
and that my soul knoweth right well.
15 My substance was not hid from thee,
when I was made in secret,
and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect;
and in thy book all my members were written,
which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God!
how great is the sum of them!
18 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand:
when I awake, I am still with thee.
19 Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God:
depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.
20 For they speak against thee wickedly,
and thine enemies take thy name in vain.
21 Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee?
and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?
22 I hate them with perfect hatred:
I count them mine enemies.
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart:
try me, and know my thoughts:
24 And see if there be any wicked way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting.
Note: A Big Reason to Get this First Answer Right from the Beginning, is that this will have a strong influence on your second question: Where I am going? If you cannot get this answer right (According to God’s Eternal Perspective), chances are good you won’t get the next answer right either.
Right away, you will notice that we have two major contradictory Solutions to this Question.
Two Choices: Which One Best Fits the Evidence? Which One makes the Most Sense?
Genesis 1:27-28 (KJV) 7 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth…
Two Choices:
I basically have one of two competing Choices to choose from, to believe in, and to follow after.
Each choice will lead me in a different direction.
Each choice will end in one final ultimate conclusion.
- God created me.
(God is my ultimate Father.)
(I am a glorious Being.)
(I am Designed for Heaven.)
(Earth is not my ultimate home.
It’s just my temporary residence.) - Random Chance created me.
(Bacteria “is” my daddy.)
(I am worm food.)
(I came from a compost pile,
and I am headed for the compost pile.)
(Planet earth is my only existence,
Because I live in a mindless meaningless,
Naturalist, Materialistic Cosmos–without a creator, without a designer, without a moral arbitrator, without a Redeemer, without a Father–
I will die alone.)
The First Choice: Ends in a Radiance Beyond Our Imagination–Where Angels Dwell.
Moses & Elijah,
Meet with Jesus. Wow!
Jesus reveals a miniature picture of our Glorious Future, in
Matthew 17:1-13.
Notice how Jesus hides his Glory from the Multitudes.
Jesus chooses to reveal Himself,
To Intimate, Loyal, Faithful, Humble, and Royal Children, in God’s Heavenly Family
–and unto babes.
The first choice: Sets us up with a royal future heavenly life, a heavenly inheritance, an eternal value, eternal promises, eternal purposes, the highest order of Creation, the closest relationship to God, the greatest potential in this life, the greatest freedom, the deepest love, the greatest longevity, and the highest quality of life imaginable in the near future.
All the Details of this Relationship are laid out in a Blood Covenant,
That began approximately 6,000 years ago. It was written down and codified by Moses approximately 3,500 years ago. It has been “lived out” and historically documented for all of those 3500 years, both positively, and negatively. And its purpose and plan has be fully and ultimately revealed in the New Testament 2000 years ago.
People have become an eternal part of God’s Record. Eye witnesses Testimonies of What God has done for His People are abundantly available, and God gives us plenty of Examples on: How to Follow God & walk under His Hand of Blessings, and also we have even more examples of: How to Rebel against God & walking under His Hand of Curses.
God’s Record has accurately predicted and prophesied major world events throughout history. And Yahweh (or Jehovah) has been patiently waiting to fulfill all parts of the Covenant, each one at its appointed time. (See: The #1 Proof of God)
Here’s just one example:
The man who has lived the longest life ever recorded was Methuselah. He live 969 years. His name means, “his death shall bring.” Everyone on of those 969 years, they called his name, the people were prophesying or rather reiterating the prophecy of Methuselah’s Name. His death shall bring.
Methuselah’s son was named “Lamech” which means mourning, as in mourning at a funeral. Lamech lived 777 years, which is the sign of prophetic fulfillment in triplicate.
Lamech’s son was name Noah, which means rest. Noah lived 950 years. He lived to see the birth of Abraham, and Issac.
When you combine these three names you get this message:
His Death Shall Bring … the mourning (or despairing) … comfort & rest.
When you combine all of the 10 names of the first born men in the family lineage of Adam you get this message.
Man (is) appointed mortal sorrow, (but) the blessed God shall come down teaching: His death shall bring (the) despairing, comfort and rest.
[That is a basic summary of the entire Bible in one sentence, declaring the salvation of God from beginning to end.]
From Genesis 5:1-32

Seth — 2 [is] Appointed

We are the link between the past and the future when we possess the word of God
Although, in our present mess, you and I are in, we will suffer.
(That is simply the nature of the spiritual war we are in at this present time.) We can suffer, knowing that our suffering is not in vain.
It is only temporary condition (and will be over in the blink of an eye), but it cannot be avoided.
Even so, we know we are not suffering alone, as demonstrated by Christ on the Cross. If we follow in his footsteps, our future is secure, all his promises will be applied to our account, His Covenant will surely be fulfilled.
For the believer in Christ, Death is our Graduation Day.
It is the end of our trials and tribulations. When we die,
we do not perish (in a rubbish heap), we just change locations.
Yes, when we die, our temporary physical bodies will return to the dust. But our permanent spiritual bodies will be reunited with God for eternity.
Only Then, will perfect justice be served, all our rewards are stored up in heaven. They will be shared and enjoyed abundantly, without measure. There will be no lack, and no competition in heaven, no aggression, no violence, no abuse (neither emotional, nor physical, nor spiritual abuse of any kind), no sickness, no dying, no more suffering, and no more evil of any kind.
Isaiah 64:4-5 (KJV)
4 For since the beginning of the world men have not heard,
nor perceived by the ear,
neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee,
what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for Him.
5 Thou meetest him that rejoiceth and worketh righteousness,
those that remember thee in thy ways: (See: 1 Corinthians 2:9-16)
The Second Choice: Ends in a Garbage Dump—Where Trash is Burned.
That is not just a cute saying, about ending up in a Garbage Dump. That is a present day reality, controversy, and current news issue today. 39

Psalms 14:1-3 States:
“The fool hath said in his heart:
“There is no God !!!“
They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
[No Not One … Romans 3:10, 23]
2 The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God. 3 They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.”

The Environmental Protection Agency says medical waste from hospitals is generally excluded from the municipal solid waste used to generate electricity. First published on April 24, 2014 / 6:14 AM EDT
The second choice: Marries one to a dismal future. It diminishes your value. It retracts all of your inheritance. It deletes and denies all of your heavenly promises and purposes, all of your noble status, your royal freedom, and your heavenly longevity. It creates the lowest quality of life in the near future. We are but Worm Food. It reduces your value to a walking compost pile. From rubbish and bacteria, you came into this world, and to rubbish and bacteria you shall return.
Also, in this present mess, you will suffer greatly–but without any hope of any redemption whatsoever. Therefore, all suffering is without any reason or purpose–for there is no justice, no redemption, no salvation, for a walking evolved mutated germ.
Soon, we must decide which choice is more appealing, more noble, more worthy of our time and effort to investigate? Which is more worthy of the loyalty of our heart, mind, soul, spirit, strength, will and whole being?

If Heaven is Not Your Permanent and Infinite Home:
Where will you go when you die?
It is recommended that every person should investigate these topics thoroughly and not be swayed by peer pressure, nor majority vote, nor lazy armchair opinionated speculation.
Your Eternal Choices and Decisions should not be swayed by any emotional WHIM or Fancy. You need solid, reliable, honest, unchanging information, that is not man centered based on the whim of the moment.
In order to investigate this subject according to God’s Perspective, you will probably have to eat humble pie.
And yes, you will have to do some reading, and some thinking, and some study of the source documents that everybody seems to be attacking without any real objectivity, or integrity. It appears many people who have read a couple paragraphs in the Bible, now consider themselves experts, and are willing to trash God’s word, and anyone that would, speak favorably about the testimony of God.
[I pray for your own sake, this will never become you. You will not be the ignorant know-it-all in the house.]
If you are anything like me, you have been swayed by a large amount of human tradition, Satanic Propaganda, and heavily laced doctrines of selfishness, pride, ego, lust, greed, and self importance, all of which will have to be laid aside, and submitted to the King of Heaven, in order to gain the Mindset of Heaven on your own life, and the lives of all people who live near you.

I hope you will keep going in your investigation …
2. Where am I going to?
There is only one, of two options, to choose from–from God’s perspective.
Choice #1: To Live with God forever in the place he has prepared for you.
Choice #2: To exist away from God, separated from God forever, in the place he has prepared for the devil and his angels. (Revelation 12:9; Matthew 25:41)
It is similar to the gender question. Just like there are only two genders, from God’s Perspective (“male and female, created he them”)–There are only two final destinations or resting places for all people created by God to reside for eternity.
The preferred place, although more exclusive, would be Heaven. That is the Place with God–In God’s Presence. All those, interested in and committed to having eternal fellowship with God, Christ Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, all of his angels, all of his saints, and many of the other wild and eternal, living heavenly beings will be Living here.
The less preferred place, has only one requirement: Reject the Will of God for your Life–This place would be Hell, and later the lake of Fire. That is the place where God’s Presence forever has been withdrawn.

Are There any reliable signs that I might be headed towards hell?
If you have done any of these, there is only one hope for you.
- Have you mocked God?
- Have you scoffed at God’s Witnesses?
- Have you despised the Bible?Disregarded the Bible?
Spoken abusively against God’s Word, without reasonable cause, without integrity? - Have spurned the Teachings of Jesus? Convinced others to deny God’s Word, according to the Spirit of this Evil World?
- Have you used God’s name in Vain? As a curse word to express disgust?
- Have you committed Sexual Sin? Looked at pornography? Committed Adultery?
- Have you lied?
- Have you stolen?
- Have you worshipped demons?
- Have you spent countless hours watching TV, Movies, etc., which deny the word of God?
If you have sinned in any of the above ways, or in any other way:
There is only one hope for you.
That hope is that you will repent of all your sins, and turn to Christ, the only person in Heaven or Earth who is qualified to forgive your sin.
Note: It is not God’s will that any man should perish.
That personal choice is the soul responsibility of every single individual.
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
2 Peter 3:9 (KJV)
And the reason for you or I making our choice to not be with God for all of eternity is clearly laid out in easily understand sentences. That is easily understood, if the individual reading them, wants to understand them.
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
John 3:17-21 (KJV)
3. Why am I here?
I am here to make One Choice:
That choice, compared to all others, will be the most important, most life impacting, most awesomely freeing or correspondingly, eternally confining choice, that I will ever make during my lifetime. Every other choice that I make will be subordinate to this one–most holy, most integral, and most life-giving, or life degrading choice I can ever make.
Essentially, the choice is boiled down to this: Will I Open the Door?
“Behold, I stand at the door and knock…”
Revelation 3:14-22 (KJV) 14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; 15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. 16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. 17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: 18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. 20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. 21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
I have been given complete freedom: during my entire Life Time (from the day I am born to the day that I die) to seek God, and to find God. To learn God’s Ways according to God’s Perspective on my Life, to receive God’s Wisdom, to be instructed in God’s Word, all the while seeking to honor God’s Will with my whole life and being.
God will not force His Will upon me. He is no evil Dictator. He will let me make my own choice for me, that I must make myself:
- To Love, Honor, Respect, and Serve Him, in Spirit and in Truth, or …
- To play games with God, like a child playing peek-a-boo, pretending God is not there and cannot see, when the child closes his eyes. Men and women have been playing peek-a-boo with God for thousands of years. But only those who decided to grow up, and realize that God sees everything we think, say, and do, and still God offers us the option to seek the Lord while he may be found by Him, with the promise that we will find Him, when we seek Him with all our heart, and will enjoy what they Find.
Seek ye the LORD while he may be found,
Isaiah, Circa 700 BC, (Isaiah 55:6-7, KJV)
call ye upon him while he is near:
Let the wicked forsake his way,
and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and
Let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
The Earthly Miner seeks Hidden Treasure, using a valuable humanly made map.
The Hungry Soul seeks Heavenly Treasure following a divinely Written and Inspired Heavenly Made Map that can show him the Way to Heaven.
While seeking God, we would do well to seek Him with all our heart, mind, soul, and strength, because those are the ones who will truly find Him. Seeking God half heartedly, or nonchalantly, or in a lukewarm or double minded way, will never yield a good Result.
Below is a promise to Recover and Redeem those who turned away from God, and their motivation for returning to God was that they found their lives a mess, full of oppression, confusion, and dissipation. They found their lives unbearable, because of their sins, sicknesses, enemy attacks, and negative life circumstances that happened when God withdrew His Mighty Arm of Protection and Provision from His People.
But if from thence [in the place of sin and despair] thou shalt seek the LORD thy God,
Moses, Circa 1500 BC, (Deuteronomy 4:29 KJV)
Thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul. 40
Above are two Old Testament Prophecies and Promises: That Direct us to Seek God, that were directed originally mainly to the Jewish Nation of Israel. Below is one short Message given by Paul the Apostle to Top Brass of the Wise Men of Athens (Non-Israelites). They were the top Scholars, Debaters, Teachers, and Philosophers of their time. Mars Hill was the place where they all hung out. Here Paul lays out the reason, we are here on this planet at this time. Check it out:
Acts 17:22-34 (KJV) 22 Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars’ hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too [or very] superstitious [or religious]. 23 For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you. 24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
[Notice; That Paul’s teaching would have been very offensive in his day. It flew in the face of all the money made by the Roman Multi-God Universe, and it totally disgraced all those who worshipped idols. And it freed the masses from control of man-made idols. No wonder why Paul faced such persecutions. The Gentiles hated Paul, because he exposed their false religious systems. The Jews hated Paul and planned and attempted to execute him many times, but were unable, due to God’s Protection. But why did the Jews hate Paul. It was for the same reason that the Gentiles hated Paul, the same reason, both Gentiles and Jews hated Jesus: Because He exposed their false religious systems made by man, which were devoted to the elevation of certain men, having status and control over certain other men. God hates that kind of religion, and so did Paul, therefore men hated him for exposing them. ]
25 Neither is [God] worshipped with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; 26 And [God] hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; 27 That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: 28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. 29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device. 30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: 31 Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead. 32 And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, We will hear thee again of this matter. 33 So Paul departed from among them. 34 Howbeit certain men clave unto him, and believed: among the which was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them. 41

How can I see through God’s Lens?
Our time here is short: Our ability to See is Greatly Hindered. We have so much to learn, and so little time to learn it. We must stop blocking our view from seeing the most stunning images in all of Creation from God’s Heavenly and Perfect Perspective.
We live, but a few years. Then, we are here no more. Everyone with eyes to see and ears to hear can choose to freely see the fragility of our own lives.
Even if I choose to become the most powerful and influential man alive today–shortly after my death, my name will be forgotten. We live but a brief moment, like a vapor, a puff of smoke in time, in comparison to eternity.
God fully knows what the future holds, I know nothing about it, except, I can know all that He has revealed, if I choose to see through His Eternal Lens. If only we could see with eternal eyes, we might grasp God’s perspective and His Life.
Sadly, A Vast Number of World Leaders–are bankrupt in their Understanding of God’s Questions:
They are also bankrupt in their Knowledge of God’s Promises, God’s Warnings, God’s Judgments, God’s Reasons, and God’s Requirements for ALL who would enter into His Family for Eternity?
Yes, God has commandments that He expects us to obey–Just like any good father, leader, king, or Lord.
And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
Luke 6:46-49 (KJV)
47 Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like: 48 He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a ROCK: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a ROCK. 49 But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.
Can I earn my way into heaven?
No. We don’t earn our way into heaven. Our debt has been paid. If we have truly received the kingdom of God by faith, like little children, our hearts will be grateful, and our lives will be transformed.
What is the sign we have been born again?
We should no longer be acting like dead men.
If we have truly been born again, by the spirit of God, and we truly have put the old man to death, and have become alive to Christ, then our lives will show it. The genuineness of our faith will be proven, by the transformation we have undergone.
What if there is no transformation?
Has there been no change? Are we still choosing sin over God? Then we should be concerned. We should seek to self examine. If we are not living the life, chances are good, we are not in the life.
In order to believe in Christ, you still have to believe in miracles.
So, if a man does not come into the kingdom of God, what is the real root of his problem?
Does this not prove the point that the problem does not reside in the intellect alone, but more so in the Will of Man, that is in direct Conflict with the Will of God. Man does not know, because man does not want to know, God’s perspective.
Jesus pinned the tail on this Donkey–by showing us His Perspective: See for yourself. This explains Jesus’ understanding of why men choose not to learn about this world from God’s Perspective.
And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
John 3:19-20 (KJV)
There it is plain as Day. Men don’t seek the light, anymore than cockroaches seek the light, or rapists or thieves seek the light–for fear their evil deeds will be exposed. They don’t come into the light, because they don’t want to come into the Light.
From my own experience, it appears that even the first six of the most basic questions about life and existence are practically beyond the reach of many of the most educated and brilliant minds on this planet. This leads us to this conundrum.
What blocks the human mind from having a Healthy Heavenly understanding? What hinders the intelligent human soul from obtaining wisdom? knowledge? insight? and common sense–from God’s perspective? What blocks a proud man from having spiritual discernment? What is at the root of the problem?
We must deal with these paradoxes at a future point. I believe, one part of the nature of this problem is rooted in the subject of “Group Identity,” which we will address later on.
It appears to me that those who claim that others have been brain-washed, are actually the one’s who have brain-washed themselves.

4. What is Life?
Choose Life!
Choose Life, seems like it would ge a silly thing to have to say, or to recommend, or to promote and a vital concept. But in our world today, it is an imperative from Heaven, that needs to be heeded from the womb, to the classroom, to the boardroom, the Supreme Courts of Justice around the World.
If we reject this simple command and admonition, we do so to our own peril.
Genesis 1:27-28 (KJV) 7 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth…
Once a man or woman has a restored re-connection with God, then he is able to reconnect with others, in deeper and far more lasting ways, according to the perspective of heaven, having received the gifts of the spirit, enabling such a person to be unselfish, humble, caring, giving, generous, and self sacrificing towards others.
Also, LIFE = Connection with others
Behold, how good and how pleasant it is
King David, circa 1000 BC
for brethren to dwell together in unity!
… For there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.
Psalms 133 (KJV)
The Sooner we begin to start living by the BluePrint of Life, and seeing and doing things from God’s Heavenly Perspective, the sooner our lives will dramatically improve in the depth of our being, where it really matters.
We can then become worshippers of God in Spirit and Truth, and enjoy the favor God promises to all those who obey him and keep His Commandments.
When we get this Picture of Life Right from God’s Perspective, we enter into a fellowship with God and with Others at an Eternal Level, and we keep the two greatest commandments of God, not because we are forced to, or because we have to, but because we want to, and deep down inside of us, we feel the need to.
Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him,
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
Jesus (Yeshua) Circa AD 33
Matthew 22:36-40 (KJV)

LIFE = Connection with God
I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing:
Moses, Deuteronomy 30:19 (KJV)
Therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
It has been the plan of God from the very Beginning to have unbroken Fellowship with His Children.
The Only Problem was: He gave his children FREE WILL.
And man chose to use his FREE WILL to reject and betray God’s Will, rather than to accept and believe God. But it doesn’t stop there. Man also chose to accept and replace God’s Will with Satan’s Will. But it doesn’t stop there. Man also choose to commit the crime of betrayal and deceit: Just Like Judas Iscariot, who sold out his entire spiritual inheritance in Christ, for a measly 30 pieces of silver, so Adam and Eve, sold out their Spiritual Birthright and the Inheritance of their Leadership Position, as the Managers of All of God’s Creation, and all of its bountiful resources, for a single piece of forbidden, stolen, bitter fruit. But it doesn’t stop there.
They made an idol out of the fruit, and worshipped and served the creature (the serpent), rather than the Creator, 42who is forever blessed, Amen. But it doesn’t stop there.
They chose to steal from God, and then later to lie about it and blame others for the crimes they committed, rather than take responsibility for their own sins against God. But it doesn’t stop there.
Within one generation, their disrespect for God, and the sin that ensued, had turned the first child born in this World, into a Murderer, who murdered his very own brother, for not for doing anything wrong, but for doing something right and “Good in God’s Sight,” and being accepted for it. Thus causing Cain to go berserk with jealousy, and murder his brother and later lie about it. Following the same pattern of sin his parents chose to follow. Cain aggressively and angrily murdered the most holy, most righteous, most pure minded Son in the Family of God, sound familiar at all? And then he denied it, lied about it, mocked God to His face, and didn’t cry until until he heard his judgement.
That scenario, in a nutshell, will be the experience of everyone who has chosen to stand before the judge of all the earth, on the great day of the Lord, the day of judgment, who has chosen to go the route of Cain, and of Adam and Eve. They will twist and squirm, and seek to blame others for the wrong they themselves have done, but in the end it will be a fruitless effort. They will see themselves as mocking God, and then they will tremble at the outcome of their own personal rebellion, when they hear the words: “Depart from me, I never knew you.”
All this will happen, because they refused to see, and refused to answer, God’s questions from God’s eternal perspective.

It is recommended that every person should investigate this topic and not be swayed by peer pressure, or sinful distraction, that will bring its own destruction.
In order to investigate this subject according to God’s Perspective, you will need to have your mind renewed. So keep this in mind as your constant prayer, while choosing to transition, from becoming a carnal Son of Cain, into becoming a spiritual, Son of Abel.
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Those who want to Walk in God’s Life, will gladly and eagerly walk in God’s Love, towards one another …
As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. 10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love. 11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. 12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. 13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
Jesus (Yeshua)
John 15:9-14 (KJV)
5. What is Death?
Death = disconnection from God.
…
Sadly, when we walk in sin, we blame God for the reason that we sin. And we blame men for causing us to sinThe one person we somehow forget, and neglect to blame for sin is ourselves. Such as the mindset and the nature of the primary enemy of God.
When we join the enemy ranks, we adopt, and even embellish the mindset and attitude, and behavior, and lifestyle of the evil one.
God told Adam that on the day he should eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil he should surely die. What other thing happened on that same day?
And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
Yehovah-God, circa the Sixth day of Creation
Genesis 2:16-17 (KJV)
On the day they rebelled, they were cast out of God’s Eternally Life Giving Presence.
Had they remained in God’s Presence, Keeping God’s Commandments, resisting sin, lies, evil, temptations, darkness, sickness, theft, murder and death: All things that any sane person should surely want to avoid. They would have remained alive to this day.
So, what is it that separates us from God, and results in death?
The answer is a simple three letter word: S I N
Behold, the LORD’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:
Isaiah 59:1-2 (KJV)
But your iniquities [Sins/transgressions] have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.
More references on the Subject of Hell. A little preview for the question: What is Hell?
“Hell” occurs 54 times in 54 verses in the KJV. 43
Below are just a few quotes:
Psalms 9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.
Psalms 16:10 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
Psalms 86:13 For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.
Isaiah 5:14 Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.
Matthew 5:29 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
Note Again: It is not God’s will that any man should perish.
That personal choice is the soul responsibility of every single individual.
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward,
2 Peter 3:9 (KJV) 9
not willing that any should perish,
but that all should come to repentance.
John 3:17-21 (KJV) 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
.
Revelation 20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire.
This is the second death.
But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear:
Luke 12:5
Fear him, which after he hath killed
hath power to cast into hell;
yea, I say unto you, Fear him.
Ok, so here’s a little comedic relief to help lighten the mood for a minute.
This is hilarious, because it is so true.

6. Where does God want Me?
That is a very humbling question to ask and answer sincerely.
I believe it is a rare person who can dive down into the depths, of who they are, and who God really is, and come up with the answer to the question, with absolute assurance: Where does God want me?
I dare say today, churches are filled with people, including pastors, leaders, and pew sitters, that have never adequately asked, nor answered this question, and the results are apparent all around them.
Why is that? I dare say that most people live by their own personal feelings. They direct nearly all their decisions by how they feel. They don’t make their decisions based on: What is God’s Will in this situation? And they don’t seek to answer that question from God’s Eternal Perspective either.
The problem is this: Due to the fall, and the corrupt mindset of man:
Men’s feelings are self oriented.
Pleasure centered. And typically sin-based.
All it takes is a cursory survey of the world around you
to confirm this to be verifiably and undeniably true,
especially if you seek to see the entire world around you from God’s perspective.
For those who can and will choose to die to themselves and live in Christ’s Will, they will indeed discover where God Wants them to be. And because of that, they will bear much Fruit–that will prove to themselves, and to others, that they are walking in God’s Heavenly Will, by bearing God’s Heavenly Fruit.
To be perfectly honest, it is a simple matter to answer the question: Where does God want me? that is, when we humble ourselves, and put the highest priority of life into this one topic/objective: Am I Doing the will of the Father?
Mark this Down: God is not looking for dead Robots to Do His Will, He is desiring to have fellowship with His Living Sons and Daughters, who have chosen to live in the Revelation, that doing God’s Will is their best choice in this Life (like the first son below). And that God will so fill them with Joy and Strength, Peace and Hope, Power and Love, that doing His Will will become the most satisfying occupation they have ever experienced or ever will experience.
Nothing will be hidden. All will be exposed. That is what influenced the decision of the first son, to repent of his rejection of the Father, and decided to do his duty, fulfilling the will of the Father, to go and work in His Father’s Vineyard.
That made it possible for him, to treat God with Honor, and Respect, and to treat himself with Dignity, and Truth.
That changed the entire perspective in his mind.
Once you consider that God sees All, and God Knows ALL–And that on the Day, that is more important than any other Day, we will have to give a full accounting of the Question: Did you do the Will of the Father in Your Life on Earth?
That understanding should indeed strongly inform your decision making process this very day.
But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard. 29 He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went. 30 And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not.
Jesus (Yeshua) Circa AD 33
31 Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first.
Matthew 21:28-31 (KJV)
Clearly, the second son, who proposed that he would do the Will of His Father, never did His Father’s Will. Like children playing peek-a-boo with God. The second son, had to fool himself first, that his father would not know that he was a liar, a con-artist, a narcissist, and a fool before God. This son just continued to go his own way, living in a fantasy of his own mind, never coming to terms with the reality that the Day of Judgment is Near. That all who reject God, will also be Rejected. That All who deny God, will also be denied. That All who dishonor, disrespect and blaspheme God, will also be dishonored and disrespected before God.
Nothing will be kept hidden.
All will be exposed. (Mark 4:22)
Remember: Jesus is standing at the Door of Your LIFE, Waiting for You to Respond:
Will you invite Jesus in? Will you grant access to Jesus, to be Your LORD:
A) Lord of your finances; B) Lord of you Time; C) Lord of your Priorities;
D) Lord of your Relationships; E) Lord of your Family; F) Lord of your Marriage; G) Lord of your Tongue?
Will you allow Jesus to grant to You: His Pure Riches, His Holy Raiment? His Heavenly Eyesalve and Corrective Lens.
- Gold tried [refined] in the fire
(Heavenly treasure that will never rust, rot, nor be robbed) - White raiment, that thou mayest be clothed
(So you will not stand before the court of God naked) - Eyesalve, that thou mayest see
(That you might have God’s Eternal Perspective Guiding you).
Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: 18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. 19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. 20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
Revelation 3:17-20
Likely Written while John was exiled on the Island of Patmos, because he refused to die when being boiled in a pot of scalding hot Oil–while being persecuted under the Dominion of Nero, in Rome.
Possible Dating: Speculated somewhere between A.D. 63 to 65 (?). Before Nero’s end in A.D. 68; and before the Fall of Jerusalem, A.D. 70. 44
You and I have been given complete freedom: to choose to do the Will of the Father, or to chose not to do it.
The Ball is in Our Court.
Our Decision will Determine Our Eternal Destiny
The Good News is, if we have been lacking, slacking, and/or inattentive to the Will of the Father (like the second son).
We can repent today. We can begin doing His will from this Day forward–Just like the First Son, who repented of his own selfish mindset.
The Bad News is, the scriptures predicts in voluminous cases, that the majority will reject the Will of God, and play religious games with God (playing peek-a-boo), but on the final day of evaluation, it will be clearly evident that they will be rejected by God for their own lack of integrity, honesty, and truthfulness. That is why Jesus clearly stated:
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Matthew 7:21 (KJV)
That is the bad news for sure. And no one will have an excusable excuse on the day of judgement. Every soul will be judged by the exact same undeniable, unmovable, and unbiased standard. And because of that problem, many will hear the words. “Depart from Me, I never knew you!”
Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Matthew 7:22-23 (KJV)
Side Note: When were the gospels of Matthew and John written?
Be careful. Don’t believe everything a biblical scholar says to you.
With a little investigation, you will find that many scholars today push the narrative that the gospels were written much later than the early church fathers indicated they were written. Many modern scholars push the idea that Matthew was written after the fall of Jerusalem. I find that theory quite untenable.
One theory is that Matthew penned his Aramaic account to help Jewish Christians before the siege of Jerusalem in AD 70. Mark crafted a Greek Gospel account, based largely on Peter’s preachings in Rome, to help spread the Good News among Gentile Christians, and Matthew’s account in Greek came after this. I personally tend to hold this viewpoint. I don’t hold the viewpoint that Matthew and Luke based their gospel on the shorter version of Mark’s Gospel. I see no reason nor evidence for that. It makes sense to me that Matthew was the first gospel written by an eyewitness of all that Jesus said, and did. Mark and Luke are also based on eyewitness accounts, but we don’t see them as complete first eyewitnesses themselves. They likely collected their testimonies from other eyewitnesses.
One more reason not to trust Modern Biblical Scholarship, and modern Bible Translators. Many are not believers. Many have other agendas, other than believing and obeying the Words they claim to be studying.
Matthew Was Always Believed to Have Been Written First (according to Church Fathers)
“We now go a step further by considering Matthew’s gospel. According to the unanimous testimony of the early church, Matthew was the first gospel written. The church father Eusebius places the date of Matthew’s gospel in A.D. 41. If the ancient testimony is true, and there is no reason to doubt it, then we have a third independent source about the life of Christ written during the eyewitness period.” Source: https://www.blueletterbible.org/Comm/stewart_don/faq/historical-accuracy-of-the-bible/question10-when-were-the-gospels-written.cfm
There Is Internal Evidence of an Early Date for John
There is also internal evidence that John himself wrote before A.D. 70. We read the following description of Jerusalem in the fifth chapter of John. Notice the word: Now …
Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.called Bethesda and which is surrounded by five covered colonnades.
John 5:2 (KJV)
John describes the sheep gate as still standing at the time he wrote. He could not have made this statement after A.D. 70—there was no sheep gate. The sheep gate was destroyed in the year A.D. 70, along with the rest of the city of Jerusalem. This could very well be an indication that John wrote his gospel before the city of Jerusalem was destroyed.
Conclusion: There Is Evidence for an Early Date for the Four Gospels
When all the historical and textual evidence is amassed, it becomes clear that the four gospels were composed at a very early date either by eyewitnesses, or those who recorded eyewitness testimony. Therefore, we have every reason to trust what they wrote. Source: https://www.blueletterbible.org/Comm/stewart_don/faq/historical-accuracy-of-the-bible/question10-when-were-the-gospels-written.cfm
One day, you may just find yourself in the position of the Prodigal Son: Living Far Away from Doing Your Father’s Will. Eating all the wrong foods, picking all the wrong friends.
When that day comes, open your eyes and heart to Jesus, and receive all that He has to give you. Accept His invitation to: Follow Me. And go wherever He leads you, with confidence and faith. He will give you his words to speak, words that will cut deep into the heart. Words that will transform, lowly sinners, and to heavenly saints. That, for sure, is the wheel of God, the place that he wants you is in his vineyard. What he wants you to be doing is to be harvesting grapes. Planting, watering, nurturing, and harvesting grapes for the kingdom of God. His message of repentance, Faith, and obedience to do the will of the father will be preached in every nation around the world. And then the end shall come.
The Good News is:
There is still time to Repent.
The Bad News is: The time is getting shorter every day. And hardened hearts are getting harder everyday. And the deceived, and the deceiver are getting more and more deceived every day. And preachers are watering down the Word more and more every day. And Liars are filling the airwaves with deception on steroids laced with lust, greed, and selfishness, more and more every day.
The Good News is: All we need is a humble mind and heart, willing to see Life from God’s Perspective.
The Bad News is: We are daily bombarded with reasons and pressure to be proud and selfish, brash and bitter, sinful and resentful, angry, hateful, and downright evil.
Only God knows those who are fully His and those who are not. But we are called to make our own election sure.
Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
2 Peter 1:10 (KJV)
Written between AD 64 and 68.
Of course this is an over simplification, but it may be a helpful place to start.

Spoiler alert: This testing for understanding section is not yet ready. Let me know if this is of interest to you and then maybe we can allocate more resources to getting this project done. Shalom, Brother Thomas.
Ok, Now it is Time to Check forYour Understanding.
Let’s see how much content you have digested and retained, Ok?
Still in the process of developing a beneficial self evaluation questionnaire. It should be ready in the near future. What would you prefer, short written answers. Multiple choice, or a combination of both? Please leave your thoughts in the comments.

Disclaimer, Part Two is not really publicly ready for viewing. It is in need of much editing.
Like many projects, it is still standing in Limbo. But feel free to keep reading and sharing your thoughts and opinions. May God bless all your personal reading and research.
Have a Question? Want to Share a comment?
Before you go, if you have a comment,
or want to leave a question, please feel free.
It’s always helpful to have beneficial feedback. All genuinely respectful comments that edify others are welcomed–both encouraging words, and helpful criticisms. (But, Personal Rants, and vindictive raging, will hopefully be filtered out. If the filters are working properly).
I can only imagine this body of information, has triggered more than one or two people. To those being triggered, I can say: “I have been there.”
So, you are not alone. I was a ranter, and a rager at one time. I was very verbally abusive against the Bible, the Church, supposed Christian History, and much more. I had a thimble full of knowledge, but I had a bucket full of emotions, that I tried to use to make up for my own personal ignorance.
Thankfully, my emotionalism didn’t fully satisfy me. I had to dig deeper. I went to Taiwan (at the age of 23), as an English Teacher, so that I could further pursue my personal experiences with Eastern Religions & Philosophy, and such. There I met a number of humble, faithful, Missionaries in training, studying Chinese, waiting for the borders in China, to open up, to go back to the Sleeping Dragon.
I decided I was going to prove the Bible Wrong to them. In my own zeal and self assessment, I saw some really beautiful people that had really been deceived and needed someone to help them SEE. Ever meet some one like that? That was me. But thankfully, I had time to study and self reflect (which sadly many people don’t do these days). When I dug into the subject, so deep, I realized I was the one deceived, and that revelation changed the whole course of my Life.
So if you are a Skeptic–You are not Alone. And Yes. You are Welcome Here! And yes, your feedback is also encouraged.
Any way that I can be of help, let me know. I put most of what I have to offer here into this Website. I am not a great speaker, but I do enjoy writing.
Shalom,
Brother Thomas
Footnotes:
- “The Lion” has many Symbolic meanings in God’s Word, depending on the Context. The Messiah was promised to come from the Tribe of Judah, and would be called the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. (Revelation 5:5) In the age to come. The Lion will lie down with the Lamb, and eat grass like a cow … They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD.
Isaiah 11:6 (KJV) 6 The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb,
and the leopard shall lie down with the kid;
and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together;
and a little child shall lead them.
Isaiah 65:25 (KJV) 25 The wolf and the lamb shall feed together,
and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock:
and dust shall be the serpent’s meat.
They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD.
. ↩︎ - The Lion Nebula, also known as Sh2-132 or Sharpless 132, is a deep-sky nebula located in the constellation Cepheus.
Characteristics:
Location: The Lion Nebula is situated in the southern part of the constellation Cepheus, bordering the constellation Lacerta ¹ ³.
Composition: It is a rich hydrogen region with star clusters, emission nebulae, and dark dust regions ¹ ³.
Distance: The Lion Nebula is approximately 10,000 light-years away in the Perseus Arm of the Milky Way Galaxy.
Size: It has an angular size slightly greater than that of the full moon.
↩︎ - The Messiah came first as the Passover Lamb. This is the main reason, the Jewish Teachers, Rulers, Scribes, Pharisees, Saduccees, Priests, Lawyers, Rabbis, Zealots, and many Jewish Synagogues at Large rejected Jesus as their Messiah. Why? Because Jesus was not what they were looking for. They wanted the Conquering “Lion of Judah.” So the rejected the Humble, Suffering, Militarily Weak, and Passover Lamb, that John the Baptist Preached would come. The Lamb of God who takes away the Sins of the World. All those who rejected John’s Message, also rejected Jesus’ Message and Jesus’ Authority. Why? Again, because He wasn’t what they wanted. The same reason Judas Iscariot betrayed Jesus’. Judas was smart. He could see the “Handwriting on the Wall.” He clearly saw that Jesus intended to die like all the other prophets before him, even John the Baptist, the most privileged Prophet of All, was beheaded by the Jews in conjunction with Herod,
But in. order to reject God’s Son, they only had to reject parts of the Revelations and Prophecies of God. They had so built their religion around their own personal prejudices, that their religion allowed to betray, torture, and crucify the Son of God, and still think that God would be ok with that. How Whack is That??!!
Sadly, these thing happen whenever we try to read God’s Heavenly Word, without seeing it through God’s Heavenly and Eternal Perspective.
↩︎ - The Lion of the Tribe of Judah:
Please Note: This is in Regard to the Future Coming of Christ. The first Time Christ appeared as a humble servant.
The Lamb of God who taketh away the Sins of the World. But the Second time he comes in the Form of:
“The Lion of the Tribe of Judah“
Revelation 5:4-5 (KJV) 4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon. 5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda[h], the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
↩︎ - Today, full grown men cannot tell whether they are truly men or women. The foolishness of men apparently, knows no limit when he departs his mind from the Mind, Will, and Word of God. The Further we depart from God’s Word, the more vulnerable we become to deeper and deeper deception, manipulation, and spiritual darkness.
↩︎ - This is an important note to understand: in the kingdom of God, as far as our inheritance goes, all men, both male and female, our sons of God. That is because it is the sons who receive the inheritance. And in Christ Jesus, we all receive God’s inheritance. Therefore we are all treated like firstborn sons of the covenant. Because we all come into the kingdom as heavenly sons of God. That is why we are called Sons of God.
Romans 8:14 (KJV) 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
Romans 8:19 (KJV) 19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
↩︎ - John 14:15-17 (KJV) 15 If ye love me, keep my commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

↩︎ - What are Babes in the Bible? They are young innocent children, and young believers in Christ.
Babes in the Greek means: Original: νήπιος Transliteration: nēpios Phonetic: nay’-pee-os
Definition: From an obsolete particle νη ne; implying negation and G2031; “not speaking,” that is, an infant (minor); figuratively a simple minded person, an immature Christian: – babe, child (+ -ish). Source: the Strong’s Concordance.
↩︎ - A.D. stands for Anno Domini, a Latin phrase that means “in the year of the Lord” or “in the year of our Lord” ¹. It is used to mark the years in the Julian and Gregorian calendars and is often translated as “in the year of our Lord Jesus Christ” ¹. Here are some key points to note:
Meaning: A.D. marks the years since the traditionally reckoned birth date of Jesus Christ.
Usage: A.D. is placed before the year number, for example, A.D. 2024.
Alternative: Some people use C.E. (Common Era) instead of A.D. to mark the years, especially in academic or interfaith contexts. Note: Even though they use the verbiage Common Era, that date is still designated to the Birth of Christ Jesus.
History: A.D. was introduced in the 6th century by the monk Dionysius Exiguus and became widely used in Europe during the Middle Ages.
↩︎ - Jesus’ Original Jewish Name was actually Joshua, in Hebrew. The Name Jesus comes from the Greek Translation. In Hebrew it is spelled, יהושׁע or יהושׁוּע Transliteration: yehôshûa‛ yehôshûa‛. Phonetic: yeh-ho-shoo’-ah
Definition: From H3068 and H3467; Jehovah-saved ; Jehoshua (that is, Joshua), the Jewish leader: – Jehoshua, Jehoshuah, Joshua. Compare H1954, H3442. These Notes are taken from the Strong’s Hebrew Concordance’s Numbering System.
Make a Note: Yeshua is a more modern derivation of the name Yehoshua(h). Below are some finer points on the Name Yeshoshua.
The name “Yeshua” comes from the Hebrew name “Yehoshua” (יהושע), which means “Yehovah saves” or “Jehovah is salvation“.
Here are some key points about the name “Yeshua”:
Origin: “Yeshua” is a shortened form of “Yehoshua,” which was used in later books of the Hebrew Bible and among Jews of the Second Temple period. After the Return from the Babylonian Exile.
Meaning: The name “Yeshua” means “He saves” or “He is salvation.”
Relationship to Jesus: “Yeshua” is the Hebrew name for Jesus, and it is used in Hebrew translations of the New Testament.
Pronunciation: The name “Yeshua” is pronounced “ye-SHUA” or “yeh-SHOO-ah.”
History: The name “Yeshua” has been used for centuries, and it is still used today in some Jewish and Christian traditions.
Variations: There are different variations of the name “Yeshua,” including “Yeshu,” “Y’shua,” and “Yehoshua.”
Biblical references: The name “Yeshua” is mentioned in several books of the Hebrew Bible, including Ezra, Nehemiah, and Chronicles.
Linguistic evolution: The name “Yeshua” has evolved over time, and it has been influenced by different languages, including Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek.
↩︎ - Reign: Augustus ruled from 27 BC to 14 AD, bringing peace and prosperity to the Roman Empire, and establishing the Pax Romana, a period of relative peace lasting over two centuries. [Note: This was a time when the Gospel spread throughout Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Much helped by the safety provided by the Pax Romana.]
Reforms: He implemented various reforms, including the creation of the Praetorian Guard, the Roman postal service, and a system of censuses and taxation ¹.
↩︎ - Herod was smitten by the Angel of the Lord, and was eaten by worms.
Acts 12:22-23 (KJV) 22 And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man. 23 And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.
↩︎ - Herod like Pharaoh before Him, kills a whole city of infant boys. What would drive such behavior?
Matthew 2:16-20 (KJV) 16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently enquired of the wise men. 17 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying, 18 In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.
19 But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, 20 Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the young child’s life.
↩︎ - Annas, also known as Ananus, was the father-in-law of Caiaphas and served as high priest from AD 6-15. He is mentioned in John 18:13, 19-24 as being present during Jesus’ interrogation. There is a record of a High Priest named Ananus who is believed to be the same person. A stone tablet called the “Pilate Stone” or “Pilate Inscription” provides evidence for his existence. This stone was discovered in Caesarea Maritima in 1961 and dates back to AD 26-36, during Pontius Pilate’s governorship. The inscription mentions the name “Ananos,” which is the Greek form of “Ananus.” It also refers to him as a “high priest,” confirming his role in Jewish society during that time period.
↩︎ - Caiaphas, whose full name was Joseph Caiaphas, served as high priest from AD 18-36. There is non-biblical evidence for Caiaphas’ existence through an ossuary (a limestone bone box) discovered in Jerusalem in 1990. The ossuary bears an Aramaic inscription that reads “Joseph son of Caiapha, High Priest, Josiah.” The ossuary contains bones from at least six individuals and dates to around AD 30-70, providing further evidence for Caiaphas’ existence during that time frame.
↩︎ - Whoever has drunk the kool-aid of the Serpent in the Garden has been poisoned just as Adam and Eve were.
What does that mean? It means: that when men poisoned by the serpent, they will doubt God, and believe the Serpent–just as Adam and Eve did.
Instead of putting their trust and faith, and hope in God and God’s Word, they will listen to men, and man’s words, and man’s ideas, that actually didn’t originate with man, but came from the Serpent. According to God’s Word from God’s Perspective: There are only Two Ultimate Voices and Two Ultimate Sources of Information from which to Answer Life’s Toughest Questions, that we can choose to listen to and/or believe in.
One source comes from Above. The other source comes from down below. It is our job, duty, and eternal responsibility to choose which voice we are going to believe and ultimately follow. Each Voice makes very specific promises and claims. Each one has very specific consequences, pro’s and con’s, or just plain benefits, if you will. The voice from below focuses our attention on short term benefits (lying, stealing, sex before marriage, cheating to get ahead, etc., and calls us to practice immediate gratification), and tempts us to abandon our self-control and self discipline. The Voice from above focuses our attention on long term benefits (and calls us to practice delayed gratification), and calls us to strengthen our self control and self discipline.
↩︎ - The Loving Father Image of God is Often Not Acknowledge by our Modern Culture, and not only not acknowledged but also openly and virulently hated. Calling the Father, racist, authoritarian, Supremacist, Misogynistic, and far worse. Such is the effectiveness of the smear campaign coming from down under. All this will God is trying to throw a massive party for the Prodigal Son who has returned.
Luke 15:32 (KJV) 32 It was meet [right] that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and [He] was lost, and is found.
↩︎ - John 10:11-14 (KJV) 11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. 12 But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. 13 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. 14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
↩︎ - Moccasins are native American Indian footwear, or shoes, that are soft and supple, and make very little noise when walking in them.
↩︎ - God’s Warning to the Amorites for 400 Years:
God warned the Amorites for 400 years before sending His judgments upon them. Abraham’s Prophecy: God told Abraham that his descendants would be the instrument of His divine judgment if the Amorites failed to repent of their sins. Sins of the Amorites: The Amorites’ sins included child sacrifices, temple prostitution, idolatry, and other wicked practices that violated God’s Law. Judgment and Destruction: Eventually, God’s judgments came in the form of the Israelites, led by Joshua, who conquered and destroyed the Amorite cities.
Source: https://inspiredscripture.com/bible-studies/joshua-10#gsc.tab=0 Please Check this out. It will blow your mind.
A super important Note: God is no respecter of persons. He judges fairly, faithfully, honestly, and justly. When the Israelites sinned against God in the same ways as the Amorites sinned against God, he used another nation, the Babylonians, to come in and carry them away into exile, becoming slaves of Babylon for 70 years, because they had disobeyed their God for 490 years.
So we can see that God uses nations to judge nations and implement his punishments and judgements upon those whose time for judgement and punishment has come. And yes, horrible things happen during the times of judgement, and God would much rather not have to bring judgment, but when evil progresses past a certain point, then judgments will come.
Mercy Triumphs over Judgment
Hosea 6:6 (KJV) 6 For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice;
and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
Matthew 9:13 (KJV) 13 But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
James 2:12-13 (KJV) 12 So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty. 13 For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.

Side Note: When I use the word poison, I don’t mean mild poisoning. I mean “deadly poisoning.” I mean that the end result of the poison is to kill the patient. This concept will need to be further developed when we answer the Question: What is Death? From God’s Perspective, but I need to make this small emphasis here.
A. Hitler’s Youth, (identified by “brown shirts“ and swastikas) were Poisoned in Nazi Germany by Public Education–and “Mein Kampf” and were deeply transformed by Replacing the “Boy Scouts” with Hitler Youth Membership (in 1933, it jumped from 50,000 to over 2 million, by By 1939, over 90 percent of German children were part of the Hitler Youth organization.
B. Just like Mao’s Youth (identified by a “Red Armband”–apparently they were too poor to afford a whole shirt) in China (“the Red Guard“) guided by Mao’s “Little Red Book”;
C. Just like Stalin’s Youth in Communist Russia were poisoned by “The Short List”; Stalin’s youth were named the “Young Pioneers” and they wore a distinctive uniform, including a red scarf and a badge featuring a hammer and sickle. They participated in various activities, such as parades, rallies, and community service projects, all aimed at promoting Soviet values and loyalty to the Communist Party.
D. Just as American Youth (with rainbow shirts) are Being poisoned today, by poisonous teachers, teaching Evolution, there is no such thing as objective Truth. “Your truth is your Truth, my truth is my truth.” Blocking the teaching of the Gospel, the Bible, the Ten Commandments and replace them with CRT (critical race theory), LGBTQ+ doctrines, and now Transgenderism, and many other harmful poisonous (being taught by “Gay Fairy God Mothers” invited into kindergartens to disseminate their destructive doctrines to the detriment, sanity, and mental health of our children.
Not to mention Abortion, Separation of State and Religion (yet Evolution takes greater religious belief to swallow than Creation).
The One thing common to all these groups, and their brainwashing techniques, is that they all denounce and attack the Bible, and replace it with their own poisonous literature and lies.
Not only are children bombarded and brainwashed in schools, but also at every level of society, music, radio, tv, social media, peer pressure, sports idols, news casts, all around them.

↩︎ - 7 of the Top Murderous Dictators of the 20th Century: These 7 are also top poster children for Darwin’s Theory of Evolution. This further exacerbates the Truism that the theory of Evolution has not provided one beneficial advancement in science, in technology, in social ethics, nor human development, or any human endeavor whatsoever–except the unleashing some the most depraved and psychopathically evil people to lead the nations. You ask: Where is the evidence to make such strong claims. The 20th Century provides the evidence in spades.
1. Mao Zedong – Responsible for the Maoist Catastrophe in China, causing approximately 47,263,517 deaths.
Chairman Mao Tse-tung referenced Darwinian theory to legitimize his nation and socialist ideology. In 1957, Mao discussed socialism in Darwinist terms, stating that socialism had the necessary conditions to triumph as the fittest in ideological struggles. Darwin’s theory of evolution and its implications for competition and survival of the fittest resonated with Mao’s views on societal progress and revolution. Mao saw socialism as the most fit ideology for China at that time, aligning with the principles of natural selection and adaptation advocated by Darwin. (Source: Complements of iask.ai/)
2. Adolf Hitler – Led the Nazi Holocaust resulting in an estimated 13,674,790 deaths. Responsible for the systematic murder 6 million Jews. His policies also led to World War II, which claimed 50-70 million lives.
Hitler’s Belief in Social Darwinism: Adolf Hitler, the leader of Nazi Germany, embraced and applied Social Darwinist principles to his ideology. Social Darwinism, which interprets Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection to human society, was used by Hitler to justify his beliefs in racial hierarchy, eugenics, and the superiority of the Aryan race. Hitler believed in the concept of “survival of the fittest” and used it to promote policies that aimed at purging what he considered “inferior” races and promoting the dominance of the so-called superior races.
3. Joseph Stalin – Estimated to be responsible for 14-20 million deaths, mostly in the Soviet Union. He brutally suppressed political enemies and suspected opponents. Influence of Darwin on Stalin:
Joseph Stalin’s exposure to the works of Charles Darwin during his early life led to a significant shift in his beliefs and ideologies. As a young man, Stalin began reading Darwin while studying at the Tiflis Theological Seminary. This exposure to Darwin’s ideas played a crucial role in shaping Stalin’s worldview and contributed to his eventual embrace of atheism and revolutionary tendencies. Application of Social Darwinism: Stalin’s interpretation of Darwin’s theories, particularly the concept of natural selection and evolution, influenced his approach to governance and politics. While Stalin’s purges were not explicitly based on racial cleansing, they reflected a form of social Darwinism where the struggle for power and dominance within society was justified by evolutionary determinism. This perspective allowed Stalin to view societal dynamics through the lens of class struggle, where individuals were seen as part of a larger organism that needed to be controlled and directed for the greater good.
4. Ismail Enver Pasha (Turkey–Ottoman Empire)- Involved in the Armenian Genocide and responsible for around 2.5 million deaths. [Approximately 1.5 out of 2 people died]. Ismail Enver Pasha, although Muslim by Faith, strongly believed in Darwin’s Theory of Evolution [Influence of Darwinism: Ismail Enver Pasha, one of the leaders of the Ottoman Empire, was indeed influenced by Darwin’s Theory of Evolution. Social Darwinism: He was particularly drawn to Social Darwinism, which applies the concept of “survival of the fittest” to human societies and politics. Ottoman Modernization: Enver Pasha saw Social Darwinism as a way to modernize and strengthen the Ottoman Empire, making it more competitive with European powers . Nationalist and Secularist Ideals: His belief in Darwin’s Theory of Evolution also aligned with his nationalist and secularist ideals, aiming to create a more modern and secular Turkish state .Enver Pasha’s embrace of Darwin’s Theory of Evolution reflects the complex and multifaceted nature of his political and ideological beliefs. Before World War I, the Armenian population in the Ottoman Empire was estimated to be around 2 million, with some estimates ranging from 1.8 to 2.1 million ¹. The Armenian genocide, which occurred during World War I, resulted in the systematic destruction of the Armenian population in the Ottoman Empire, with estimates suggesting that between 600,000 to 1.5 million Armenians were killed ¹..
5. Pol Pot – Led the Khmer Rouge regime in Cambodia resulting in 1.7 to 2.5 million deaths. [Approximately 1 out of 4 died]. Pol Pot’s Ideological Influences: Pol Pot, the leader of the Khmer Rouge regime in Cambodia, was influenced by a combination of Marxist ideology and social Darwinism. His education in France exposed him to Marxist ideas, leading him to join the French Communist Party in the early 1950s. Additionally, Pol Pot was influenced by Joseph Stalin’s approach to Marxism, known as Stalinism, which emphasized purging less enthusiastic members from the party and implementing communism aggressively without compromise. This alignment with Stalin’s ideas played a significant role in shaping Pol Pot’s political philosophy. Influence of Social Darwinism: Moreover, Pol Pot’s beliefs were also influenced by social Darwinism, which posits that certain groups are engaged in a struggle for survival where the fittest prevail while the weakest are eliminated. Social Darwinism teaches that through war, starvation, or deliberate extermination, weaker individuals or groups are eradicated from the gene pool. This concept resonated with Pol Pot’s brutal regime in Cambodia, where he orchestrated a genocide that resulted in the deaths of an estimated two million people. Role of Race in Genocide: Race also played a crucial role in influencing Pol Pot’s actions during the Cambodian genocide. He looked to China’s Mao Zedong for inspiration on adopting race-based ideologies derived from Darwin and Thomas Henry Huxley. The emphasis on race over class distinctions underscored the Khmer Rouge regime’s policies and actions during its rule. In summary, Pol Pot did believe in social Darwinism, which significantly impacted his leadership style and decisions during the Cambodian genocide. Death Toll: Between 1.5 to 2 million people died during the Pol Pot genocide ¹. Population of Cambodia: This genocide number represents nearly 25% of Cambodia’s population in 1975, which was approximately 7.8 million people ¹. Causes of Death: Deaths occurred due to executions, forced labor, physical abuse, malnutrition, and disease ¹. Years of Genocide: The genocide took place from 1975 to 1979, under the Khmer Rouge regime led by Pol Pot ¹. Pol Pot was more efficient than Hitler, he murdered one quarter of his own people in 4 years.

6. Kim Il Sung – Dictator of North Korea with approximately 1.6 million deaths during his rule. [Approximately 1 out of 10 died, mid estimate, to 2 out of 10 died, high estimate]. Kim Il Sung, the founder and supreme leader of North Korea, was indeed influenced by Social Darwinism. Influence: Kim Il Sung was exposed to Social Darwinist ideas during his time in China and the Soviet Union, where he received military and political training. Juche Ideology: He incorporated elements of Social Darwinism into his Juche ideology, which emphasizes self-reliance, nationalism, and the struggle for survival. Survival of the Fittest: Kim Il Sung believed in the concept of “surival of the fittest” and applied it to international relations, seeing the world as a competitive arena where only the strongest nations survive. National Strength: He sought to strengthen North Korea through military development, economic self-sufficiency, and a strict hierarchical social order. Ideological Legacy: Kim Il Sung’s blend of Social Darwinism and Juche ideology continues to shape North Korea’s official ideology and inform its policies. Kim Il Sung’s regime was marked by widespread repression, human rights abuses, and killings, resulting in significant loss of life among the North Korean population. Some reasons and estimates include: Political Purges: Kim Il Sung carried out numerous political purges, executing or imprisoning tens of thousands of people perceived as threats to his rule. Forced Labor and Prison Camps: Estimates suggest 100,000 to 400,000 people died in forced labor camps, known as “gulags,” due to harsh conditions, starvation, and brutal treatment. Famine and Economic Mismanagement: Kim Il Sung’s policies led to devastating famines, particularly in the 1950s and 1990s, resulting in estimated death tolls ranging from 20% to 30% of the population. Suppression of Dissent: Any form of dissent or opposition was brutally suppressed, leading to countless executions, disappearances, and forced labor sentences.Estimates of the total death toll under Kim Il Sung’s rule vary widely, ranging from 500,000 to 2 million people, out of a population of approximately 10 million. Note: The exact numbers are difficult to determine due to the secretive nature of the North Korean regime.
7. Mengistu Haile Mariam – President of Ethiopia responsible for between 400,000 to 1.5 million deaths during his rule. was a Marxist-Leninist and as such, he did not adhere to any specific religion. He believed in Marxism-Leninism is an ideology that is rooted in atheism and materialism, and Darwinism. Mengistu Haile Mariam, the former communist dictator of Ethiopia, was indeed influenced by Social Darwinism, which was a prevailing ideology among Marxist-Leninist leaders of his time. Here are some key points: Marxist-Leninist Ideology: Mengistu’s regime was founded on Marxist-Leninist principles, which emphasized class struggle, dialectical materialism, and the survival of the fittest. Social Darwinism: Mengistu and his regime saw Social Darwinism as a way to justify their brutal suppression of opposition, ethnic cleansing, and forced labor camps. “Survival of the Fittest”: Mengistu often used the phrase “survival of the fittest” to justify his regime’s brutal policies, including the Red Terror and forced labor camps. Influence of Soviet and Chinese Models: Mengistu’s regime was heavily influenced by Soviet and Chinese communist models, which also incorporated elements of Social Darwinism. Nationalism and Self-Reliance: Mengistu’s regime emphasized Ethiopian nationalism and self-reliance, which was also tied to Social Darwinist ideas of competition and survival.While Mengistu’s regime was primarily driven by Marxist-Leninist ideology, Social Darwinism played a significant role in shaping his worldview and informing his policies.

- Dr. Noel Tulipan was quoted in the Tennessean Newspaper Feb. 10, 2011, in reference to my picture.
The article: “Spina Bifida Study Vindicates Vanderbilt”, by Tom Wilemon. “But it was a photograph that caused a public controversy. Michael Clancy, a freelance photographer on assignment for USA TODAY, was photographing surgery on a 21-week-old fetus in 1999 when the baby’s arm emerged from the womb. The shot was a powerful image one that abortion opponents embraced”.
“I hadn’t really anticipated that was going to happen when it happened,” Tulipan said. “I tried to stay on the sidelines as far as that goes. That’s obviously yet another controversial issue. We never really got into that debate here at Vanderbilt. We really tried to sidestep that.”
Dear Dr. Tulipan, You invited a photographer into your surgical suite and a miraculous moment was captured on film. This is a miracle picture and you all played a part in history being made. It’s time you all shared in the miracle.

↩︎ - In the King James Version of the Bible, the term “hell” is used to translate several different Hebrew and Greek words, each with slightly different connotations. Here are the primary words translated as “hell” in the KJV:
1. **Sheol**: This is the Hebrew word often translated as “hell” in the Old Testament. It generally refers to the grave or the realm of the dead, rather than a place of punishment.
2. **Hades**: This is the Greek equivalent of Sheol, used in the New Testament. It also refers to the realm of the dead.
3. **Gehenna**: This is a Greek term used in the New Testament, derived from the Hebrew “Valley of Hinnom.” It came to symbolize the place of punishment or destruction, often associated with fire.
4. **Tartarus**: This is a Greek word used once in the New Testament (2 Peter 2:4), referring specifically to a place of confinement for certain fallen angels.
These terms are translated as “hell” in the King James Version depending on the context in which they appear. Each term carries nuanced meanings within the biblical text, ranging from the grave (Sheol) to a place of punishment (Gehenna).
↩︎ - Proofs for Early Dating of the Book of Revelation:
1. The Syriac Version: One compelling proof for an earlier dating of the Book of Revelation comes from The Syriac Version, specifically the Peshitto from the fourth century. The title page of this ancient version states that John received the revelation on Patmos when he was thrown there by Emperor Nero. Since Nero ruled from AD 54 to AD 68, this indicates that Revelation was written before AD 70.
2. Revelation 17:10: Internal evidence within the Book of Revelation itself provides another indicator of its early authorship date. In Revelation 17:10, there is a reference to seven kings which aligns with the succession of Roman Emperors in the first century. This passage accurately identifies Nero as one of these rulers, further supporting an early composition date for Revelation.
These proofs suggest that the Apostle John was exiled to Patmos prior to AD 70 and that the Book of Revelation was likely written during this earlier period.
Other Scholars argue for a later date, under the persecution of Domitian, A.D. 94. Personally, I don’t favor that date. I foresee that the Saints needed this book to help prepare, equip, instruct, and support them, prior to the Fall of Jerusalem.
This book would have been an incredible asset to all believers during the times of destruction, persecution, and tribulation, that the Body of Christ was surely being prepared for, before that Apocalypse happened.
Therefore, I favor the earlier date. And see no reason not to trust in it, as well as, many good reasons to support it.
One big reason, is that nothing in any of the New Testament Books states that the Fall of Jerusalem has already happened. There is no direct mention of that–that I can see.
