A Shift is occurring. It is a change in seasons.

Today, I awoke to a strong command to take a social media sabbatical. This is a big deal for me as I have spent years on the digital battlefield and it is how I fight, how I collect data and how I understand the way God is moving and the assignments He makes in the Spiritual War. I shared this command with my family over breakfast, stating that I thought I needed to break after Thanksgiving until the New Year.

Within the hour I got several confirmations:

Then I received an email.

God began using Nate Johnston to guide my family’s journey last spring. It is amazing how Nate’s dreams, visions, and words correlate with mine and my family’s path.

Here, I want to walk you through this word from Nate as I personally receive it and show you the demonstration of God’s amazing Spirit and how He works.

In this first section, I want to point out that, years ago, God gave me the scripture:

In fact, I have shared this very scripture with a dear friend as a point of prophecy more times than I can count. So, when Nate began his email with this very passage, I knew instantly that God was saying: Pay attention, Stacie! This one is for you. Any of you who have walked along with me over the last year or two will see my experience clearly addressed in Nate’s opening.

Additionally, A few years ago, God put Gideon on my heart. As I reread the account, I knew that God was preparing me for a wilderness season where I would lose my support in the physical so I rely only on Him. Last June, I began to hear Nehemiah. It’s amusing because these are well known, but rarely discussed Old Testament personalities. I have had to read their histories over for myself with the lens God is giving me. I saw Nehemiah as representative of God’s people building their section of the wall, without criticism or competition, to protect what God is establishing. We have had to build and fight simultaneously because every spiritual force of darkness is coming at us. It is no coincidence that Nate was shown Nehemiah.

He continues:

I spent several years in an alignment that I thought was a Kingdom Covenant alignment. We even discussed covenants and contracts and the other half wrote about our conclusions to massive audiences… never mentioning me or acknowledging my existence… taking all credit for my spiritual discernment. As I read this instruction, tears flowed. Over the last 8 months, every access point has been closed. Any alignments that are not Kingdom Covenants and do not see my heart, or do not share my heart… I’m laying them down. I won’t feel guilty about it anymore. They chose not to walk in the path. Free will is important. That said, I need time to rest in Him for full healing. It has been an incredibly difficult year and I must clear the clutter and set my feet firmly on the path that God is directing me in.

No mixture, no compromise, no settling for counterfeits…

My physical home is a mess. The girl that sold it knew it was a mess. The floor flooded the first month. Half the electric outlets don’t work. We had no showers and few sinks in working order. The gutters all need cleaning and replacing. The barn needs reconstruction and a roof. The heating and air doesn’t work properly. The fireplace is not useable as a real fireplace. Everything has fallen apart around me since May. My husband lost his job without notice the week after we moved in. We had no income from May through October. The group of people who encouraged us to make this leap and establish a community aiming for self-sufficiency and a small church where we could worship without a platform… they have every one turned on us and deserted us. There’s no Plan B.

It does not matter. Let me say that again…

It. Does. Not. Matter.

God has called us to this. He told us to prepare a place. We are walking in obedience. End of discussion.

We serve a living, loving, powerful God… and He has never failed me yet. Wait and watch.

What I’m doing… what we’re doing as a family… it’s scary. It’s difficult. God has brought us through a season of refinement and it’s time for me to step completely out of the boat. He’s given me a strong husband to stand with. We must let everything else go. We must tune everything else out. It’s time for a sabbatical, you see? I pray that many of you do, indeed, see… and will join us on this new path… after we have all had some time to declutter. This is the shift.

My prayer, dear friends, is that we will rejoin in a short time. My prayer is that God is going to use this time to pour into each of us in new ways that we can’t even imagine. My prayer is that He is using me as a pen in His own hand to write His own words and He will touch His people and teach His truth through what He produces during this time.

See you on the other side of The Shift…

“Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few. “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit. A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus you will recognize them by their fruits. “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’

Matthew 7:13‭-‬23

Two weeks ago, a dear friend sent me an interview with Jessie Czebotar. Jessie claims to have been born into a very high ranking family in the Illuminati brotherhood. It seems to be a common occurrence that God places mindblowing information in my path these days, so I had to follow this trail.  In the interview, Jessie describes spiritual entities that custom order spliced dna bodies to inhabit. Now, I know this is out there… but please suspend your disbelief for a few moments and consider.  Why would she lie? What would it gain her?

I began to reflect and consider some evidences from my own experience.

• I know that there is a physical and a spiritual realm.
• I know the two realms intersect, coexist, overlay and interact.
• I know there are evil spiritual entities and they seek physical ways to manifest.

Could those entities use an unnaturally made body? Could they use nanotech? How many accounts that we interact with on social media have an actual person behind them? How many are actually entities that are using technology to manifest?

Is it possible that evil has figured out how to splice DNA to design a body (flesh) with a mind (soul) but devoid of spirit?

Could those created babies be produced through breeding programs for the express purpose of housing principalities and unclean spirits?

As I pondered these questions, I received a second video of Jessie.  This one was a presentation.  It is not easy to hear.

As I listened to this testimony, something opened in my understanding. Maybe it was spiritual. Maybe it was pineal. Maybe it was third eye.  Maybe they all refer to the same thing? All I know is that I was warm, my consciousness flooded with light, and I understood.  I could see how they did it.

Infiltration, not invasion.

In that first interview, Jessie shares the religion of the Illuminati.  They promote bloodlines, a Jesus Strand… they look for female children who are born of certain lineage. They believe that some bloodlines go back to Cain… or even further, to the child of the devil and Lillith (not Eve). They believe Mary Magdalene was such a female child. Although Lucifer is a Latin name for the phrase ‘morning star’, ‘planet Venus’ or ‘light bringer’, they worship a character called Lucifer. This is deception. They also push the narrative that Jesus of Nazareth is actually Lucifer… which is why He called Himself ‘the light of the world’. They promote females. Jessie shares information about their queens and mothers of darkness. Baphomet is a transgender god so gender confusion and dysphoria are involved in their religious practices. Child sacrifice has always been integral to those who worship Baphomet, Baal and Molech. This *is* the doctrine of the Illuminati.

I am nearly convinced that we exist in Revelation 20. In The Beginning and the End biblical prophecy is discussed within the possibility that we live in a season of deception, post millennial reign. If this is the case, several pieces of a complex puzzle fall into place.

Let’s say the devil infiltrated the church after the first resurrection at the beginning of the season of deception. Humanity went through a transition period that we call ‘The Dark Ages’ where history was erased and altered. Out of this infiltration came Roman Catholicism as “The Church”. It would explain the prominent position of Mary in the Catholic religion, the controlling and political hierarchy, as well as the “Church Authorised Catholic Bible”. The Church controlled many areas of knowledge including education, science, medicine and exploration.  The Church literally controlled the thrones in various kingdoms. Until truth seekers began to challenge that control.  People began to read the bible for themselves and saw a very different New Testament church to what they saw in Catholicism. The alternative is that The Church was becoming too powerful and a faction of the Illuminati decided to create some competition through Protestantism.  Either way, Protestantism was born and with it, denominations that would keep well meaning people of faith fighting amongst themselves in perpetuity. Each denomination had its own little slice of Illuminati infiltration… religious hierarchy. The goal of religion has remained constant: to put a code or a man between a soul and God. So, the scriptures were put together to include certain letters to certain churches.  A vote was had to determine the nature of Jesus Christ. And everyone agreed to sell it as the infallible Word of God, written by God directly, and that’s the *only* thing that sets it apart from all other religious texts. Various denominations proceeded to entrench various false doctrines through their established hierarchy and… the rest is history.

Ravenous Wolves came in.

Humanity went from infiltrated Catholicism to infiltrated Protestantism to infiltrated Evangelicals… it has *all* been infiltrated. It would take volumes to discuss every false infiltrated doctrine that demonstrates how faith has been perverted, so that’s for another time. We must address a few examples that seem pervasive as of late, however.

1. The doctrine of saints and angels: I have several dear friends who grew up in Catholicism.  They have eagerly shared inherited prayer books with me, only to discover that I was appalled by what I read. In every situation, the prayers were written by a nun under ‘divine revelation’. They always begin with the story of the divine encounter, describe the approval by the Pope, and then list the terms of the contract if one says the prayers a prescribed number of times daily. None of this is biblical in any way. It imposes a contractual relationship between the believer and God. It makes promises on behalf of God (speaking for God) about when God will appear to the faithful believer, how God will release souls from purgatory, how God will grant salvation to others because of the believer’s piety.  None of this is in any way biblical, of course… under any covenant. There is a decided doctrine of Saints (as determined by ‘The Church’) and angels prevalent among most professing Christians. Most believers turn to nuns and angels that most often look like women in times of need. They keep statues, paintings, medallions and pray to them or through them.  These are always in homage to something other than Creator God and often a female.  Why a female? That’s where the illuminati doctrine comes in.
2. The doctrine of believer’s authority and godspark: Most of my friends are devout Protestants.  They’ll come against the poor Catholics with much vigor.  So they must have a better idea of where their cosmology originates, right? Wrong.  They rarely realize that all of the Protestant denominations came out of Catholic reformation and brought the infiltration along. Now we have a whole segment of evangelicals who push Kenneth Hagin’s Believer’s authority doctrine in one form or another.  The New Age/Gnostic version of this doctrine is taught as a godspark in all of us giving us the ability to manifest certain realities through collective consciousness.  The common link is an illuminati doctrine that denies God Most High and a divine will, plan and purpose.  God is replaced with the idea that we should call the shots both individually and collectively.  Instead of submission to the authority of God through the Holy Spirit, we are told we are God, or we are told what God’s Will is. This is done under the guise of spirituality when it is, in reality, very much a religious doctrine that takes on different nuances.
3. Illuminati doctrines in New Age teachings: There are many examples of Illuminati influence in New Age teachings. One such influence that seems prolific is the encouragement to pray to or through the archangel Michael. This came through Elizabeth Clare Prophet. General Flynn included a very controversial prayer at a rally a few years ago that came straight from this doctrine. Prophet claimed God, yet was entirely in opposition to ancient teachings of God. She promoted the powers of darkness and knew that what she promoted came from fallen spiritual entities… she called them angels, though they were more likely ‘sons of God’. We read about them in the Bible, Jubilees and Enoch.  She was under overt demonic oppression and when we compare her teachings to those of the Illuminati, they mimic each other. Louise L Hay was the New Age Guru who began the doctrines of positive thinking and ‘good vibes’ manifesting. These two women are where we get all of the doctrines of twin flames, angelic worship, ascended masters, lightworkers, etc. We now have entire movements who chunk the Bible in the bin and turn to these teachings as the true faith. A good friend was approached by two accounts and told he was Michael. One account claimed to be his angelic wife. They concocted an entire narrative about how he had fought with Lucifer (a white hat) after he (Michael) had turned against God. As Lucifer protected God, he cut Michael’s wings off.  Now Lucifer and Michael needed to reunite for a battle and this woman was here to remind my friend of ‘who he was’ so that he would be restored to his angelic station.  Folks, we aren’t even close to anything of God in this nonsense being proliferated… and, when we question, we are told that the accounts have military connections and we know nothing.  

So, what are we to do?

First we must determine what to walk away from… and, perhaps more importantly, what to embrace.  Many have turned from the false doctrines sold as teachings from the ‘infallible scriptures’. They recognized the infiltration. They were right to turn from these false doctrines.  I am certain that Peter, Paul, James and Jude in no way considered their letters to the first century believers to be scripture. The revelation of Jesus to John certainly is.  The books of prophecy certainly are.  When God spoke directly to Abraham, Moses, Noah etc… yes- that is infallible.  It is all useful for instruction. However, to conflate Holy Spirit inspiration with fallible humanity is simply wrong.  Even Paul, on occasion, distinguished between his own thoughts and instructions and those of the Lord.  Christians *should* be ok with this. God is perfectly capable of preserving His covenant without a book to replace His Spirit of Truth. So, we need to walk away from platforms and hierarchies, from doctrines and dogmas. The danger in walking away from ‘church’ is in what people are often walking to.  If they are walking to a pure and simple faith, all is well.  More often, they walk to another Illuminati infiltrated belief system and straight into demonic oppression.

We need to embrace a simple faith.  The biblical texts are well supported by contemporary manuscripts found in the Dead Sea caves. We can validate and verify their authenticity. Those 66 books/letters are not all there is. Even if we exclude the gnostics writings, there are works like the books of Enoch, Jubilees, Laodiceans etc. that the first century christian writers were well informed about and referenced in the biblical texts. Were these texts not Holy Spirit inspired? Or were they just not included in what we call the Bible? And how do we get around the fact that the New Testament churches had no Bible? It wasn’t even written yet… so how did God communicate with them? Did God stop communicating with us?

In fact, I am still trying to find any place in the ‘infallible word of God’ where God instructs us to read the New Testament as His word. I am struggling to find a single verse that instructs us to sit under a preacher, or go to seminary, or submit to a doctrine.  What I see is Apostles who travelled with Jesus and were filled with the Holy Spirit writing instructions to believers who were filled with the Holy Spirit and following Jesus. We must remove ourselves from under all ungodly authority,,, especially that which poses as Godly. Respect the biblically ordained shepherds (always multiple and not evangelists) and expect them to watch over you as men who must give an account.  Other than that, your relationship is a covenant with God.  That’s what Jesus died to reestablish for you. That’s what the first century apostolic churches strove for.

When will we return to this example?  The path is narrow and the way is hard and few believers will find it. Most ‘church people’ will hear, “Depart from Me, I never knew you.” I can think of nothing more heart-wrenching.

My work laptop has multiple browsers installed (in keeping with New Testament Churches and the example given, I am not a full time ministry worker – I have a ‘day job’). When you work around technology, and work with different companies, you learn that it is best not to just rely on one web browser. I have my ‘go to’ favorite, but I have other options too.

Anyway, this is a long way around to say that when I open my least favorite browser I see the latest ‘news’ headlines. (I put this in quotes because, in my view, they ceased to provide news a long time ago.)

Driving Disunity

I’ve noticed a very concerning trend that has been consistent for sometime now. There is an active push to drive a wedge between Millennials and the Baby Boomers. There is now, also, a push to drive a wedge between Gen Z and the Baby Boomers.

Take today (August 23, 2023), as a typical example. Just scanning for a few seconds, I see:

I had not realized just how many there were until I actually looked. I had seen 2 or 3, but not 21!!

I do not believe in coincidences, and it is certainly no coincidence that a single site, msn, just happened to find 21 articles fomenting inter-generational strife all in the same day.

We can also see that there are a few articles that are critical of Gen X, and grouping them in with the Baby Boomers.

At the same time, they have an article that is “trying to understand” the “Boomer Hate” – as if they were not the ones creating the intergenerational “hate” in the first place!

• Understanding the “Boomer Hate”: A Generational Perspective

What can we do?

Unity of Spirit will lead to unity of thought, resulting in there being no way for the enemy to divide God’s people.

However, many church leaders seek to create unity of thought, believing that ‘forcing’ this will lead to unity within the body. Unfortunately, there is only one way of achieving unity of thought without first having unity of spirit and that is total totalitarianism.

Ah but, I hear you say, Paul did also talk about unity of thought:

As you can see, this is true. However, how do we achieve this without unity in Spirit? It is simply not possible, and still to be true to our Faith. We must pray to God for the Holy Spirit to guide us, to teach us, to lead us and speak through us. Only then can we achieve unity – in Him.

Guard Yourself

The most important thing we can do is to protect ourselves from consuming the information – images, text and sounds – that will cause us to turn our back on Christ. This could be in the form of encouraging our disunity.

Identity politics is all about ‘divide and conquer’ – but that is a topic for another day.

Protect yourself, protect those you love – especially your children – from the influence of the enemy. Being in the world but not of the world it is not possible to completely protect ourselves, without becoming a hermit, but it is our highest duty. This is one reason that we are to pray without ceasing – meaning that we constantly ask God for his wisdom, guidance and help.

But Jesus answered them, “You are wrong, because you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God.

Matthew 22:29

Recent revelations have encouraged me to rethink the bible.  It started with an observation of harsh arguments regarding the ‘real’ bible as opposed to the ‘rewritten bible’ or a bible where important books have been removed and hidden.  Anyone who knows anything about me knows that I love the scriptures. I quote them constantly and I have a good working knowledge of them for easy application.  I operate from the premise of understanding that we are creations of a divine being much larger than we could possibly comprehend.  He’s certainly big enough to preserve the knowledge He needs us to have in order to reestablish a covenant relationship with Him.

That being said, the traditional church doctrine of the bible as ‘the infallible word of God’ is a false doctrine. I know that’s provocative so please let me explain.

1. There are multiple versions of the bible translated differently.
2. There are versions of the bible paraphrased.
3. There are inconsistencies in biblical accounts of the same event.
4. Our current bible looks nothing like the first century scriptures and there are missing pieces.

A friend recently asked me: So what do we do? Throw out all the bibles?

Absolutely not!  We put the scriptures back in their proper role and stop allowing the bible to become an idol.  Ever think about that? Is the bible an idol to modern Christians? What is its proper function?

What did Jesus and His apostles consider scripture?

When Jesus spoke to the Pharisees about not knowing the scriptures, to what scriptures did He refer? The Old Testament, obviously.  These were the Jewish teachers of the law, they had memorized the scriptures without understanding. And they also had scriptures that we are likely unfamiliar with.  Some of the scriptures they would have had include Jubilees, Maccabees, Enochs, Esdras, Judith, Baruch, chapters from Daniel (Bel and the Dragon), etc. They had scriptural knowledge that today’s average pastor and evangelist do not have. In fact, most modern Christians would call these books ‘extra biblical or not scripture’. Jesus did not.

When Jesus said ‘If you believed Moses, you would believe Me; for he wrote of Me”, He was likely speaking of the scriptural text called Jubilees. This book is very similar to Genesis with a few caveats. Jubilees was written by Moses on Mt. Sinai at the instruction of the angel of the Presence (of God). Moses was born during Egyptian captivity and raised as an Egyptian Prince worshipping Egyptian gods.  He would not have been taught Hebraic history.  He would have held an Egyptian worldview. Once Moses left Egypt, he settled in Midian and married the daughter of Jethro, a priest. We don’t know what he was a priest of. We know that the Midianites were of Abraham’s line by Keturah, they were not the chosen portion. In fact, Keturah’s sons joined Ishmael and became the Arabs.  We know that Jethro met with Moses during the Exodus and worshipped God at that time. We also know that Gideon later had to defeat the Midianites who worshipped Baal. We have no reason to believe that Moses had any knowledge of the history of Israel before God encountered him and commanded him to return to Egypt. So how could Moses have possibly written Jubilees with such accuracy as compared to Genesis?

Where did our version of Bible come from?

Many have been led to say that Moses wrote Genesis as well.  There’s no evidence that this is true… only that it matches to Jubilees.  In fact, Jubilees demonstrates that Genesis was a family history recorded across the generations leading up to Abraham.  Abraham took those books and transcribed them from the ancient Hebrew spoken before Babel. It’s much more likely that Genesis was an ongoing family history first written by Enoch, continued by Noah, then transcribed and continued by Abram. There’s no reason to conclude that Moses had anything to do with Genesis… other than the fact that Jubilees seems to echo Genesis closely. When we take the two accounts together, it becomes obvious why Jubilees was not included in our modern canon. It speaks to Mastema being the Prince of Demons and approaching God as the accuser (the devil). It speaks to the demonic influences that remain in this realm to tempt, ensuring free will. It describes creation in greater detail, demonstrating that Adam and Eve were not the first and only two humans created. It explains that Enoch still lives and is in the Garden of Eden writing the testimony of all generations until the day of judgment. It contradicts many taught church doctrines and common understandings… what it does not contradict is the actual text of Genesis.

I want to propose a timeline… not that this is fact, but a possibility to consider:

• Circa 30 AD: Jesus of Nazareth dies, resurrects and ascends
• Circa 35- 100 AD: The Apostles establish the church- small groups of believers in major port cities spreading the gospel (not the scriptures or law) among all people.
• Circa 100 AD: Many believers have been killed, but mission accomplished- Tribulation begins (Revelation 1- 19)
• Circa 110 AD: Christ returns (Revelation 20)
• Circa 110-1110 AD: Millennial reign- beautiful architecture remains
• Circa 1110 AD: First resurrection, the deceiver (Mastema) is released

At this point, everything created during the reign of Christ is still available.  Mastema sets about destroying, obscuring, and altering all understanding of the Millenial reign and of the original faith. We call this historical era “The Dark Ages”. Then the deceiver sets up a false ‘church’ with twisted doctrine based on twisted scripture and creates a history for it. This church uses Illuminati influenced structures and teachings and calls it the true faith. After a few hundred years, believers begin to question this false church (synagogue of Satan) and break away, yet Mastema uses this to further create confusion and chaos.  

The beginning of the ‘real bible’

A new version of the bible is written, and another, and another… then in the 1500’s The Puritans gain popularity under Queen Elizabth I as she restores England to Protestantism (1158-1603). These Puritans approach King James of England. In 1604, King James presides over a meeting of Puritan leaders and Anglican bishops at the Hampton Court Conference. Reforms to the established church are discussed. King James rejects Puritan challenges to church government, citing an observation that He had learned in Scotland: “No Bishop, no King”. He rejects changes to the Common Book of Prayer.  However, he seizes an opportunity to have an Authorized (by himself) version of the bible compiled. The Anglican Bishops agree.

Over the next six years, King James approves a list of 54 translators to review the Masoretic Texts, the Septuagint, extant English translations and Jewish commentaries to guide their work. 47 of these translators participate and are organized into six groups, two working from Cambridge, two from Oxford, and two from Westminster Abbey.  An elaborate set of rules is devised to ensure ‘individual proclivities’ do not influence the work.  Each group is given a section of the existing bible to translate and, as they work, all translation is overseen by the Archbishop of Canterbury through a series of doctrinal conventions. This ensures ‘consistency’.

This new ‘authorized’ version of the bible is published in two editions in 1611, one being called the “He and She” version because of a variant reading in Ruth. Another edition is published in 1631 called the “Wicked Bible” because the Tan Commandments read “Thou shalt commit adultery”. Yet, in addition to printing errors in subsequent editions, the 1611 King James Version is obviously heavily influenced by doctrine, church politics, and a thirst for power. It was never about getting back to the original scriptures as is evidenced with the arrest of William Penn in 1664 for preaching a doctrine of “Friends” (Quakers).

In this series of events, the deceiver (Mastema) creates a church based on false light. He then creates a bible that has flaws and submits to doctrines of men. The Institution of Church, already established, uses this bible to reinforce its doctrines, and teaches the devout that the bible is:

• the infallible word of God,
• Complete in all its ways
• In need of interpretation by the ecclesia
• Supportive of their individual doctrines,
• What the apostles meant by scripture…
• This is all that makes it different from other religious texts

nd just like that, the Holy scriptures are beyond question and replace the Holy Spirit as a guide to Jesus Christ.  The Church determines what we consider scripture. The Church and its doctrines determine our understanding of God and the spiritual. We have a major problem.

God knew exactly what would happen in this season of deception. As faith is increasingly corrupted, we find ancient manuscripts in caves.  We can see where things were added to the Masoretic texts.  We can see where words like gospel, baptize and Lucifer were transliterated to accommodate the doctrinal positions of the church. We can see where some ideas were completely altered (the concept of a Divine Council, the understanding of Adam and Eve, the concept of a spirit realm and how it has always interacted with humanity, the entities called Mastema and Azazel) by translating terms like sons of God to sons of Israel in places where it makes no sense at all. Today, entire denominations will come against more accurate translations as a perversion of ‘scripture’ in defence of their own doctrinal understanding.

And this is the issue… the bible is an idol. It is now used as a weapon and made to conform to a doctrine.  Our doctrines should be made to conform to the scriptures… and all the scriptures. The scriptures that Jesus and Matthew, Peter and Paul, James, Jude and John would have considered scriptures.  This includes nothing of the New Testament. The New Testament consists of Gospels and the Apostles’ doctrine, both of which are critical to our understanding of God and covenant relationship; and neither of which are scripture as referred to by Jesus and the biblical writers.

So no, we do not throw out our bibles! We recognize them for what they are… A guidebook given by God. We recognize the Holy Spirit as our guide into all truth. We recognize that we find God when we seek Him with all of our heart, not when we pick up an easily accessed book. We recognize that Jesus Christ is the infallible Word of God… not the stories about Him.

We search the scriptures… what Jesus meant by the scriptures… not because we think that in them we have eternal life, but because they point us to the way, the truth and the life that can only be found in Him.

Relevant verses from the accepted canon and some counterparts from Jubilees:

I read those last sentences over and over again. Often, we say God is love. If we do not love we do not know God. The Spirit whispered to me… “the converse is also true”.  If God is love then the one who does not know God, can not love. Such a one can not define love or recognize love, appreciate love or abide in love. That is why there is a large demonic push to redefine love.  They actually seek to redefine God… to make God in their own image as an entity they can control. Ever hear of a thing called idolatry?

Words are important. The power of life and death is in the tongue.  Words wound and heal. We have seen a plethora of buzzwords recently.  For years, we were told: Use discernment.  That command was spoken by people who do not profess Christ, do not know God, and will only refer to “Source” who abides in each of us together through collective consciousness.  They make themselves into their own God and fall for the original lie. We were warned about such creatures:

Do you see it?  This is as old as time itself. How did the serpent deceive Eve?

What I am observing as rampant among Patriots is a disconnect from God.  They seek to be God.  I’ve watched for five years as this has developed and grown. These are not people who are ignorant of God.  These are people given over to a desire to be God, to manifest their will, to control.  They seek power and knowledge in order to elevate themselves to a special worthiness that qualifies them for ascension. They blatantly reject the Living God, deny Jesus Christ and denigrate the apostle’s doctrine.  They trade Holy Spirit for Kundalini spirit that they can summon and control and use… without realizing that it is, in reality, using them.

Because they do not know God, Holy Spirit does not abide in them.  They have no discernment.  They guide people, telling them to use a discernment that is not present.  When that word began to get pushback (people knew in their spirit that it was a copout) the Patriot platforms changed.  We began to hear “Take what resonates”. I had a false friend who would say “Take the best and leave the rest”.  That is not of God.  That is not how we pursue truth.  Without discernment, how can we possibly know what should resonate?

They also redefine love. Why? Because God is love and if they are allowed to define love, they define God through their newly established paradigm (idolatry).

I recently saw a ridiculous post by a big platform ‘Patriot’ that read, in part:

• “God of Bible: (AI)
• Wants to be worshipped
• Craves sacrifice
• Is jealous
• Bends free will
• Creates the antithesis
• Inversion of the truth
• What truth?
• Love needs no worship
• Does not force free will (?)
• Needs no sacrifice
• Knows not jealous
• Not bend you at the knee
• Lifts you up”

Please excuse the awful grammar… I can only guess that demons don’t go to primary school. This spirit claims that God Most High is actually an alien or evil Artificial Intelligence and that Q is the real God (love)… whoa! Let’s look at how God defines Himself…

Wants to be worshipped:

God has no need of worship.  We worship when we understand that He is worthy of all honor and praise.  God is the creator and sustainer of everything and everything belongs to Him. In Isaiah, God mocks idols that are dependent upon worship. Elijah mocks the prophets of Baal in their fruitless worship, dancing and cutting themselves. Paul addresses this directly in Acts 17:

Craves sacrifice:

God Most High established a sacrificial system for humanity.  It was bloody and heart wrenching and kept the cost of serving ourselves and our will constantly in front of us.

Repeatedly God says He does not crave sacrifice:

Is jealous:

Ok… so they seem to have us here. After all:

The trick they’ve played is to redefine jealousy.  See, there are a few related terms: jealous, envious, covetous that carry different connotations depending on the paradigm and culture you are a product of. In England, for example, jealousy indicates an unwarranted or undeserved possessiveness. It’s ugly and to be avoided.  Envy has a more positive connotation, as when a younger sibling practices diligently to best their older sibling’s time in a track race. They envy their sibling’s accomplishment and strive to excel. Most wouldn’t even use the word covet, but it would be more along the lines of jealousy over someone or something that specifically belongs to another. Americans use these words much more interchangeably without the connotations.

So, to recap their definitions with an example:

• I am jealous of my best friend hanging out with someone else.
  • (unwarranted possessiveness)
• I am envious of my best friend’s ability to travel.
  • (I will position myself to join)
• I am covetous of someone else’s best friend.
  • (I want them for my own)

When God says: I am a jealous God… He isn’t speaking within these definitions. He is stating that He is the Creator and Sustainer.  Everything and everyone already belongs to him. When He says He is jealous, He is speaking as a husband. It is not an unwarranted possessiveness. He deserves our loyalty and adoration just as a husband deserves that of his wife. They are using a tactic to redefine words and then define God on their own terms.  That is not allowed.

Bends free will:

How does the biblical God bend free will? Because He asks His creation to submit to His good and pleasing and perfect will? Because He says, “Don’t touch that hot stove, you’ll burn your hand”?  What does Jesus say?

God is love. Love requires free will, and cannot be forced. Love will always advise towards what it understands to be the highest good.  Our human love is imperfect and we sometimes misunderstand what the highest good is… but God has no such limitations.

No. God does not bend free will.

Creates the antithesis:

Years ago I wrote an entire essay about the nature of God addressing this very lie. God is about unity.  When He creates light… the absence of light is?  When He creates love… the absence of love is? When He creates life… the absence of life is?  An antithesis is a given and has nothing to do with God or love. What does God desire?

Inversion of the truth:

This is pure blasphemy from the mouth of someone who has no knowledge of God or truth.

So how does our wise spiritual sage who has no clue about things of Spirit define truth?

• Love needs no worship
• Does not force free will (?)
• Needs no sacrifice
• Knows not jealous
• Not bend you at the knee
• Lifts you up”

According to this one, Love/God asks nothing in response to His love, does not care or advise or guide, is perfectly happy to let those He loves run headlong off a cliff to their own demise… just don’t require any submission to His omniscience. And somehow, this ‘lifts you up’ by telling you lies that you ARE God.  This is a self promoting, self serving ideology that misrepresents the one True God in every way.

Instead, it sounds much closer to Marxist, Atheistic, Luciferian teachings. Hail Thyself.

Ancient Egyptian proverbs said: “The body is the house of God. Man, know thyself… and thou shalt know the gods.”  This remains the concept in a New Age revision of the original lie.  No, I am sorry, and you are not God.  You are not indwelled by the Spirit of God. You do not know God. and you can not love.  Stop redefining concepts to fit your narrative and trying to define our Creator through your own idolatrous lens. It is not acceptable.

A decades long quest for truth has led to a close examination of the beginning and the end.  It seems christianity (churchianity) is terrified of the beginning and the end.  Genesis is taught as a collection of stories, generally following the literary technique of the hero’s journey, and coming into conflict with accepted ‘science’.  Revelation is taught as a complete allegory.  It seems modern churches are reluctant to dig into either the beginning or the end… which places the understanding at the top of my to do list. I admit I have been reluctant to write this essay.  It comes against religion and accepted theology. I am not a heretic and Jesus Christ is the love of my life… so if millions of people are under a misunderstanding because religious institutions have instilled incorrect theology, an examination and presentation of a different and possibly more accurate understanding is warranted. This is especially true if we live in a season where the nations are deceived.

The beginning:

We must understand this in spirit and in truth… in the spiritual and the physical.  Many theories have been proposed regarding God, Lucifer, Satan, Jesus, Source… however, speaking biblically, these entities are rarely explored and often superficially understood.  Most people accept that there are non physical entities in play. What we often fail to acknowledge is that non physical entities are not beholden to physical constructs (for example, time). We also call singular entities by multiple names which tends to muddy understanding.  The main players are actually fairly simple:

God: The Father (original spirit entity which has always existed, Source of energy/logic/frequency and creation)

The Son (an entity that existed before physical creation and through which all things were created, the Word, the Light, the Way to access the Father)

The Spirit (an entity that existed before physical creation and through which the Source interacts with physical creation)

The Heavenly Host: All spiritual entities that make up the spirit realm in submission to God Most High (angels, sons of God, saints (not the RC variety), Divine Council)

The Adversary: Satan (literally: adversary/accuser; there are multiple satans and it is a role not a name), the Devil (a spiritual being that existed before physical creation and interacts with the physical realm to deny connection to the Source)

The armies of darkness: demonic entities, fallen or rebellious angels

• Notice Lucifer didn’t make the list? Only in the King James translation is Lucifer mentioned, and then in Isaiah. There is credible evidence that Isaiah was referring to a Babylonian king, not the spiritual adversary in this passage.  The association of Lucifer with Satan hinges on Paul saying:

The idea of Lucifer has been twisted and manipulated throughout history to confuse our understandings of the beginning and the spiritual realm.

Now that the players are loosely defined, let’s look at the beginning…

Combining these two passages, we see that Jesus was the Word by which God (creator source) spoke the physical realm into existence.  We also see the Spirit involved and interacting (hovering) with the physical creation. This is a description of the beginning of the physical realm.  It does not mean that Jesus or the Spirit always coexisted with God (Source).  It does mean that these entities coexisted before God created the construct of time (physical realm) and they have been given equal functions within the God- head. This matters because it impacts our understanding of the relationship of the Trinity and our understanding of Who Jesus actually is… we’ll get back to that.

On the 6th day (evening and morning implies a normal physical day from the beginning), God created humanity.

Please note a couple of things in this account. First, God gave people dominion over everything He had already created on previous days. Also, God created both male and female on day 6.

Traditional theology teaches that God made Adam on day 6 (and Eve too?) as the first human.  These are the only two humans that God created and all of humanity resulted from their offspring.  What does the Bible say?

No plants had yet sprung up when God created Adam.  We have a theological problem here.  Now, a doubter would evidence this as an inconsistency, but is it really? God is rather notorious for setting aside His portion. What if, early on the morning of the third day, God made Adam from the dust of the ground and created a garden to accommodate him? Another option is that a day isn’t actually a day, but the ‘evening and the morning’ bit seems to negate that. Or we could say that God didn’t actually create plants on day 3, He just seeded the ground. But that view means Chapter one is inaccurate.

So let’s return to Adam and bring Eve into the picture. If Adam and Eve were the male and female God created on day 6 and the only humans in existence, they were both created the same day. 

According to the account, God created Adam (before any plants on Day 3) and brought all of the animals (created day 6) to him to name. When Adam had named all creatures, no appropriate mate was found for him, so God created Eve from Adam.

According to theology, God created animals, then created Adam and Eve on day 6. Theology doesn’t hang together. 

A close read of Genesis 1-5 explains the beginning this way:

God began to create. 

He created Adam before any other life, showing His purpose for creation.  We are that important to Him. 

He created a garden to accommodate Adam and then continued with creation at large. 

On day 6, God created animals and humans, male and female.

Soon after, God brought the livestock and birds to Adam to name. 

No helper was found for Adam, so God created Eve from Adam. 

God walked with Adam and Eve in relationship.

Eve gave in to pride, a desire to be equal to God.

Adam and Eve left the garden, but not the presence of God.

How do we know? Look at the story of Cain and Abel.  Read closely.

Cain killed his brother, and who came to speak with him? What was said?

From this account, we know that, although Eden was out of the picture, God was still in frequent close contact with Adam and his family. The obvious questions are: who was Cain afraid of and who did he marry? The theological answer is that Adam and Eve had many children who had spread out and started other villages. Does that make sense? 

The bible tells us that Eve had two sons.

Eve considered Seth a replacement for Abel. Neither Cain nor Abel are mentioned in Adam’s genealogy, and no other children are mentioned other than those born after Seth.  Where do we get the idea that Cain feared his siblings?

Notice what Cain said to God. God… who still visited and spoke directly to this human family! 

If Adam and Eve had many children who had already gone out from God’s presence, why would Cain have felt that was more than he could bear? Why would those other children have gone out from the presence of God? 

It makes much more sense that God created His elect, Adam, and set him apart. He created humanity on day 6.  When He created fish, the seas teemed.  When He created birds, flocks filled the skies. When he created livestock, herds filled the land. And when He created male and female in His image?

He later created Eve for Adam and the history unfolds from there. Cain did not marry his sister.  He went to a people who were not in relationship with God. When his nephew was born, people began to call on the name of the Lord.

Why does it matter?

It matters because we see from the beginning how God structures the physical realm in spiritual terms. He always sets aside His portion, His people, His elect. It confirms the unchanging nature of God. It matters because we need to understand that scripture is consistent and trustworthy. It matters because we must let the Spirit guide us into all truth and recognize that theologians are not the Spirit.

The End: (not really)

Revelation is another area that modern churches refuse to touch. Why?

Could it be that what it says doesn’t match accepted theology and doctrines would have to be adjusted? Would it remove some power structures that have been very lucrative for the established religions and their proponents?

One day I read a single verse in Revelation:

This changed everything.  I’d always been taught that Revelation was too controversial, too allegorical, too difficult to understand, too… out there. We have no way of knowing what is literal, allegorical, has happened, will happen.  I recently heard a popular pastor with a large platform state: We’re about to see John bounce around in time and become very confused. He was unable to tell what or when he was seeing.

Really? Because Revelation 1:3 does not sound like it would go along with a jumbled up, confused prophecy. How would anyone be expected to read it aloud *and keep what is written in it*?

Perhaps this pastor, and many like him, are the ones who are confused.  As I said in the beginning (pun intended), if millions of people are under a misunderstanding because religious institutions have instilled incorrect theology, an examination and presentation of a different and possibly more accurate understanding is warranted.

When we read something in the Bible and it does not fit with our theological understandings, our interpretations need to adjust.  We don’t just exclude Biblical truth or twist it about so that it sorta fits.  That is the devil… he’s the one who twists truth to fit a narrative.  

I began to dig into Revelation and discovered an entirely new understanding that makes a lot more sense when compared to other prophecy. I need you to flip the off switch to easily offended hearts for a bit.  If you are a student of scripture, you are probably not going to like what you are about to read.

We are given a false choice in our belief about end times.  Books have been written ad nauseum about end times views and I have read more than I care to recall. What they never do is a scriptural deep dive to connect the dots and use everything we are given to come as close as possible to truth.

So I set out on a quest. No agenda. No need to be ‘right’. Just trying to determine which of, if any, the views most closely aligned to scripture. I was stunned to find that none of them did.

Amillennialism:

Immediately discarded. John says exactly the opposite.

Historic Premillennialism:

According to John, Christ does indeed return to earth and reign with saints for 1000 years. But there’s more wrapped up in premillennialism. Premillennialists are divided into two groups: Historic and Dispensationalist. Historic premillennialists maintain that Israel will undergo a national salvation revival just before Christ returns.  They look at prophecy as being solely about the church.  Therefore, they *interpret* prophecy through the lens of church history and present to determine where we are in God’s ultimate timeline. Historic Premillennialists will describe Nebuchanezzar’s dream in Daniel 2 as various kingdoms and empires that influenced or affected the Church.  Likewise, the 7 churches in Revelation 2-3 are described as seven ‘ages’ of the church. 

Dispensationalism:

Dispensationalists add a seven year tribulation to precede the return of Christ and the millennial reign. They believe that Israel will be restored as a nation and God will fulfill His promises to the ethnic Jews after the end of the ‘church age’. Dispensationalists believe that during the millennial reign, the nation of Israel will be given governance over the New earth while Christians will reign spiritually in glorified bodies.  Dispensationalism is the most popularly held belief among modern evangelicals, though the average church goer likely knows little about it.

Postmillennialism: 

This understanding is on the rise thanks to a surge of charismatic practices and the popularity of Pastors like Johnny Enlow. For a very long time, the church has languished in a notable absence of power. It can be argued that established religion has sought to consolidate power in the institution and its hierarchy, similar to the Pharisees and Scribes with whom Jesus contended. As a result, many have turned to Wicca, New Age and even Satanism in pursuit of spiritual power and to gain a measure of control over their lives. Postmillennialism speaks to these people from a christian perspective.  Charismatic movements promote the power of Holy Spirit and evidence it with litmus tests of tongues, signs and wonders. Modern Charismatic movements go further, claiming that every believer has all authority in the name of Jesus to command, rebuke, decree and prophesy. They probably don’t realize it, but this is a postmillennialist trap. Postmillennialists believe that Christians will preach the gospel throughout the earth.  Humanity will become more and more Christian.  Believers will step into their rightful role as heirs of God, take back their mountains (of government, commerce, education, religion, entertainment, media, sports) and bring heaven to earth.  Then Jesus will return.

While this sounds great… very empowering… it is not biblical.  Nowhere, in any prophecy, is it ever said that the world will become heaven on earth due to the efforts of Christians and then Jesus will return. In fact, prophecy and scripture say it will look very different to heaven on earth.

To complicate matters further, we are asked to decide if we have a preterist or futurist view.  Preterists believe all biblical prophecy was fulfilled in the first century AD and was never literal, but speaking of events to take place in Jerusalem.  Partial preterists believe all prophecy has been fulfilled except the last few chapters of Revelation.  They do not believe in a millennial reign or a rapture (harpazo) event.

Futurists believe That everything past Revelation 3 is yet to occur.  They believe (through their church oriented paradigm) that the seven churches are actually seven ages of the church and that we represent the last age.

What in the world is a truth seeker to do with all of this confusion? 

I don’t know.  This is what I did.

I went to God in prayer and asked for wisdom and guidance.

I read the promise of Jesus Christ:

I opened my Bible and I began to read what HE said repeatedly over thousands of years.

This is where I landed…

“We’ve been trained to think that the history of Christianity is the true context of the Bible. We talk a lot about interpreting the Bible in context, but Christian history is not the context of the biblical writers. The proper context for interpreting the Bible is not Augustine or any other church father. It is not the Catholic Church. It is not the rabbinic movements of late antiquity and the Middle Ages. It is not the Reformation or the Puritans. It is not evangelicalism in any of its flavors. It is not the modern world at all, or any period of its history. The proper context for interpreting the Bible is the context of the biblical writers—the context that produced the Bible.1 Every other context is alien to the biblical writers and, therefore, to the Bible. Yet there is a pervasive tendency in the believing Church to filter the Bible through creeds, confessions, and denominational preferences. I’m not arguing that we should ignore our Christian forefathers. I’m simply saying that we should give their words and their thoughts the proper perspective and priority. Creeds serve a useful purpose. They distill important, albeit carefully selected, theological ideas. But they are not inspired. They are no substitute for the biblical text. The biblical text was produced by men who lived in the ancient Near East and Mediterranean between the second millennium BC and the first century AD. To understand how biblical writers thought, we need to tap into the intellectual output of that world. A vast amount of that material is available to us, thanks to modern technology. As our understanding of the worldview of the biblical writers grows, so does our understanding of what they intended to say—and the mosaic of their thinking takes shape in our minds.”-The Unseen Realm: Recovering the Supernatural Worldview of the Bible, pgs 15-16. Dr. Michael Heiser

Before we look at prophecy, let’s take a closer look at who Jesus is. (I told you we’d get back to that!) Jesus of Nazareth is not the only Son of God. That isn’t heresy, it’s what the Bible says. If you need a deep dive into evidence, please explore the Divine Council and the spiritual realm. Jesus is the unique Son of God. He volunteered for a rescue mission that would cost His physical life before God established the construct of time.  It is not easy for our humanity to put aside linear time, but we must if we are to understand how this works.  The spirit realm is not within the time construct. It isn’t that God exists in an eternal tunnel and He can see the end of the tunnel and the beginning of the tunnel… He isn’t in the tunnel. He created the tunnel. Time is nothing to God, there is no linear nature. So before God ever said, “Let there be light” Jesus had defeated death. That’s why He was with God in the beginning and everything was created through Him. We are clearly told ‘why’ Jesus has been elevated to the right hand of the Father.

As a popular preacher says: when we see the word therefore, we had best look at what it’s there for. Jesus is unique in that He was the Son who volunteered for humility and obedience beyond all others. That’s why God highly exalted Jesus, and that’s why Jesus is our Lord and Savior. Now we can dive into some prophetic clues to God’s timeline, a corrupted history, and where we really are in relation to prophecy.

Daniel 9: I believe that Christians have made the mistake of interpreting Daniel’s vision through a Christian lens.  There’s absolutely no need to do this.  If we explore the vision through a Jewish understanding, it becomes clear that the dates were never referring to Jesus or the Messiah, but an anointed one who would rebuild the temple. The destruction by the one who enters on the wings of abomination aligns perfectly with Rome’s destruction of it 490 years later. The Daniel 9 prophecy had nothing to do with Jesus Christ… and why would it? No one in Daniel’s day would still be alive by the time of Christ.  It would be a useless and moot word given to Daniel… for what purpose? To validate the insecurities of a people thousands of years in the future? We do not need such validation.

The rest of Daniel speaks to the end of days. However, it also gives numbers. And the last words of the angel are intriguing… Does he mean the Daniel will die (rest) and stand in his allotted place at the judgment? Or… does he mean that Daniel will be still and wait and arrive at the 1335 days he just spoke of? Or is this a case of multiple meanings exist? I don’t know, but the not knowing is enough to put me off using this prophecy alone to make any firm statements about the New Covenant.

All I am comfortable saying regarding Daniel’s word is that if ‘the regular offering is taken away” with the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 AD and that’s when the abomination that makes desolate is set up… for three and a half years… then there’s a certain correspondence with New Covenant prophecy here.

Isaiah:

The 53rd chapter of Isaiah is the Jesus prophecy.  It is often read in church.  What isn’t often read are the chapters that follow.  From Isaiah 53 through the end of the book, nearly every chapter correlates to the New Covenant.  Foreigners and strangers will be brought into salvation, God will be the light of the city. Some of the passages are identical to John’s quotes in Revelation. When we read the last 13 chapters of Isaiah, God paints a clear picture of His salvation and reconciliation through Jesus and His restoration of Jerusalem (not Israel). The description corresponds to the New Jerusalem described in Revelation 21.

Jeremiah:

In Chapter 23, Jeremiah mentions the reign of Christ. In Chapter 31, God speaks clearly of the New Covenant He will establish and the New Jerusalem that will never be overthrown again. 

Ezekiel:

Beginning in Chapter 37, God gives Ezekiel a vision that closely corresponds to Revelation 20-22. Some commonalities: a New and everlasting covenant, a New Jerusalem, a New temple which nothing will ever defile, judgement against Gog and Magog…

So an examination of Old Covenant prophecy does indeed correlate with the final chapters of Revelation, after the millennial reign, but what about New Testament prophecy? 

Matthew:

In chapter 23, Jesus laments over the temple and the Scribes and Pharisees. He calls them several derogatory names and speaks woe over them.  He finishes by saying: 

Immediately after, in Matthew 24, Jesus prophesies about the end days.

Ok… so now we are able to firm up Daniel’s prophecy regarding the abomination that makes desolate. Jesus confirms this as a sign, and it appears to be speaking of the Holy of Holies, but it also says (let the reader understand).  Understand what? We are repeatedly told that we are the temple under the New Covenant. Was Jesus referring to a physical figure sitting in the Holy of Holies around 70 AD when Jerusalem was destroyed? 

We also see the tribulation described both in Daniel and Ezekiel now related in detail by Jesus.  He tells those people exactly what to look for and that “Truly this generation will not pass away until all these things take place.”  The religious argument is that He didn’t mean a generation, but an age.  I don’t buy that argument.  Jesus was not speaking in parables. He was telling His closest companions, the men He entrusted to take the gospel to all of humanity, what to be aware of, what to look for and what they needed to know in order to lead appropriately. On the second occasion He stated the ones standing there would not taste death before they saw His coming. Another religious argument was needed to counter this statement. They say that Jesus meant those people would see Him after the resurrection. Except… He did not come in His kingdom and the glory of the Father with His angels to repay each person according to what they had done between the resurrection and ascension. That explanation simply does not fit what Jesus did, yet it exactly fits what we see in Revelation 19 and 20. The way Jesus describes the tribulation and His coming in this passage tracks directly to what John describes in Revelation 5-11 and the coming of Jesus in Chapter 19 and 20:1-6.

In chapters 12-18 of Revelation John describes what is happening in heaven, in the spirit realm. The seals are broken releasing the tribulation, battles are waged in the unseen realm while the tribulation is unfolding in the physical. The final seven plagues are poured out. Then Jesus returns. 

My question is this: how can we be sure this didn’t all happen around 73-74 AD? According to Revelation, God does not create a New heaven and New Earth yet.  There is no judgement day, yet. Jesus returns and reigns with His saints, the beast and false prophet are cast into the lake of fire, and after the thousand years, the devil is released for a season to deceive the nations.

How does the rapture (harpazo) figure in?

We get the idea of a rapture from the letters to the Thessalonians who were quite concerned about the return of Christ.  They certainly believed Him when He said they would see it.  The apostles did not dissuade them from such belief. Instead, they were encouraged that the mystery of lawlessness was already at work, Christ had not returned at this point, when He did, everyone would know and they’d be caught up.  This seems to be a detailed picture of Revelation 20 When Jesus returns and the first resurrection takes place… before the thousand year reign.

I want to finish this study off with the next section of Revelation 20

After an examination of the entirety of scripture, this seems to be where we land in God’s timeline.  It looks like this:

1. God created the physical realm
2. The spiritual realm invaded and corrupted the physical realm, so God cleansed it
3. The damage was done, and, at Babel, God apportioned the nations to lesser spiritual beings (Deut, 32:10) keeping Israel as His portion.
4. Civilizations rose and fell, God reconciled all back to Himself through Jesus Christ
5. Jesus said on several occasions that He would return in His audience’s lifetime, the first century churches expected Him to return in their lifetime, the apostles supported this understanding
6. The gospel went throughout the world (Ephesus, Collosia, Rome… all these churches were in major ports)
7. The tribulation occurred around 70AD, Jesus returned in the first century, the rapture happened at the first resurrection
8. The millennial reign occurred
9. The devil was released to deceive and has been quite busy doing so

We now live in a season of deception.  We can’t trust the timeline or history we have been taught. We must look at archeological evidence and know that much has been hidden and erased. We must acknowledge that much has been hidden underground and in places we are not allowed to access. We must understand that we have to question everything and go to God for understanding as most, if not all, of our accepted doctrines have been corrupted.

Please be encouraged to search the scriptures for yourself.  Ask the Holy Spirit to guide you into all truth, and don’t accept any person as the guide in your spirit… no matter how popular their platform.

The armies of Gog and Magog will surround the camp of the saints.

God will make all things new.
