Luciferian Teachings vs Abrahamic

Take accountability for your actions and constantly work to better yourself: it is a very dangerous and irresponsible way to live if you continuously rely upon a higher power to wash away all your misdeeds. Lucifer teaches that we are our own saviours; no-one else can truly save us but ourselves. Yet this takes conscious effort, wisdom, and if you wish, guidance from deities. At the end of the day, no-one can cleanse us of all that we have done wrong, we can only strive towards making amends and becoming better people. Also, no-one is to blame for your misdeeds but yourself; don’t even try to avoid your guilt by using scapegoats.

Embrace the paths of hardship and suffering rather than trying to avoid them: if we are to become wise and strong in character, suffering is the gateway to these virtues. This is why all demons (and some other deities) teach people through adversity; it is how we evolve and leave behind our restrictions. Though along this path, we cannot give in to despair, which is why we are meant to “embrace” this and remain steadfast. We cannot expect things to be easy in life, they never will be; to battle this, we need to train ourselves to become strong, diligent, and wise. Overtime, we will come to realize our full potential and what we are truly capable of. 

We do not exist to serve god: every single thing has a purpose, which all serve the higher function of sustaining existence. From blades of grass and the wind, to the black holes, all things fulfill a mission. Yet for living beings and spirits, our missions are not for the gods, but for ourselves. The purpose behind all of existence is to evolve so that we can reach a higher state of being; though beyond this, only the Source knows the purpose. In life, we must focus on serving ourselves first (not in an egotistical way) so that we can become knowledgeable and healthy. Once we have started to become better and develop wisdom, then we can begin focusing on bettering the world. For without wisdom, the world will continue to make the same mistakes. Overall, the main focus of existence is to forever evolve and grow wiser

Passivity does more evil than good: we may all be familiar with the “turning the other cheek” mentality, which might seem very peaceful and admirable to many people. However, this mentality allows selfish and aggressive people to continue being this way; people are not all good at heart and will use your passiveness to their advantage. The lesson is to become assertive and not allow selfish people to have their way with everything; do not allow them to run the world or even get away with some minor things. If someone says or does something wrong to you, remember to put them in their place (unless it could endanger you). 

Humility and self-respect (no holier-than-thou mentalities): just because you follow a certain deity, it does not make you better than others; we are all ignorant of many things and are all guilty. In the same respect, following a certain god does not mean that you have the right to preach to other people or think that you are going to be saved while others will not. We must learn to remain humble and open-minded of others; yet not to have too much humility since we also need to recognize how to be proud of ourselves in a healthy way. 

Open-mindedness and seeking knowledge: seek to learn everything about everything, you should not limit yourself since ignorance only perpetuates evil. Therefore, we must seek to understand evil so that we can avoid it. If we live sheltered lives and remain in the dark, we will never develop wisdom or true understanding of morality. Understand that you do not know everything and never will, allow this to humble you and make you more accepting of new information. However, you must also learn to question everything and research in-depth until you are absolutely certain of the truth (remember that many books lie and that some historians are even paid to keep darker truths hidden). Remember to not follow groups; learn to think for yourself and not be a “sheep”.

Humans as “god’s chosen ones”: humans were never the chosen race of any deity, we are just one of many other species that they have created. Ironically, humans are actually one of the least favoured species of the gods due to how the majority of our kind is corrupt and because we killed off the majority of the other races during the ancient times. Any group of people who claim to be “god’s special people” are egotistical and have a superiority complex that is very dangerous (as we can see from history). This is also the exact mentality that caused all the Abrahamic religions to feel justified to commit genocide across the world or believe that certain countries should be theirs. Likewise, the Earth also does not belong to us; we are given the honour of living on this planet so we can exist, but can just as easily be taken out of it if we become too greedy. Many deities view the Earth as being more important than humanity.

Question all authorities: we must always recognize that people in authority are meant to serve their people, not vice-versa. If we allow ourselves to be cowardly or lazy, those in authority will do whatever they can to gain more power. Corruption happens slowly at first, disguised as help, but ends up as tyranny (which is what happened in Nazi Germany). If we wish to prevent this, we must recognize that all governments are corrupt and they lie constantly while pretending to be getting better. Every leader must be confronted by their people so they know their place. We cannot allow ourselves to be manipulated or pushed around; recognize when things do not seem right or when governments are being overly controlling so we all can rise to stop it. 

We need a healthy balance between indulgence and temperance: as Luciferians, we highly value things such as patience, charity, moderation, humility, and other virtues, but these must be balanced with other traits at the right times. For example, remain humble but value yourself, be kind but also deliver justice to those who wrong you, be physically healthy but indulge in nicer things when able, do not give away all your money to charity, look after your own needs first; etc. By living in this method of harmony, we are far more healthy and less restricted.

Hell is for all evil people, whether they were Christian or not: the realm of Hell is a twisted land of unimaginable torments. It is this land that is designated for all evil spirits; meant to suffer horribly for all eternity. There is no god who can cleanse all sins and save whoever they want from Hell, especially since it is a place of harsh justice. Christians, whether they like it or not, will be sent here if they are too corrupt.

There are many gods: as we seek for truth, we find that all gods exist. Lucifer himself is the first-born god of this Universe and led the other gods before he Fell during the rebellion. Jehovah is just one god of many, and is nowhere near being the supreme god as he says. We see the supreme god as the Source (where all things begin; known as Atum or Brahman) who has their female counterpart as the Queen of Heaven (Adi Parashakti). These two formless supreme deities exist together as equals and are One in essence; the Source needed their feminine counterpart in order to create since existence requires balance. From these Gods, the other gods began coming into existence.

Request: Victor Vale x Reader

Victor Vale x reader

Word Count: 1139

@dxestars : well, hello there! i read your victor vale fanfiction and was wondering if you could write another? maybe one in which serena suggests eli to kidnap the reader to get victor's attention, he doesn't know if it'll work (bc victor is thought to be a sociopath) but does so nonetheless. it turns out it works like a charm and victor confesses his feelings and all? thank you!! 💞💞💞

“Didn’t you say that there was someone that caught Vale’s attention back before all of this shit started?” Serena asked one day as they were plotting.

Eli gritted his teeth, mentally calculating for the millionth time if it was really worth the effort to have a partner in his scheme if she was going to keep talking and interrupting his thought process. “What?” he managed to force out past his clenched jaw.

“I don’t know; when you told me about your ridiculous backstory you mentioned that he had a lab partner or something that he wouldn’t shut up about.” She shrugged. “Maybe you could use them to get him where you want him.”

“That won’t--” He exhaled sharply through his nose much like an angry bull would. “Victor doesn’t have . . . attachments like everyone else. That wouldn’t work.”

“How do you know?” she demanded. “And besides, I don’t see you coming up with anything better.”

~

Of course you didn’t know it, but that little conversation--or, shall we say, argument--was the reason you woke up with a splitting headache struggling to remember what happened. You’d gone to a bar with some friends, one of those places that served surprisingly decent food considering it was all cooked on a tiny hot plate or in a shitty deep frier that’d been around for at least fifteen years. You’d gone to the restroom after having a few too many drinks, and . . . That was all you could recall. Everything else you might have remembered was washed away by the pounding in your skull.

You’d heard stories like this from survivors of unspeakable things. You never thought it might happen to you, but you really couldn’t think of any other way to explain it. Someone had slipped something into your drink, something that’d knocked you out and left you with this lovely little jackhammer inside your skull.

Fuck.

You wiggled your wrists in an attempt to loosen the bindings that strapped you to a rather uncomfortable chair. They didn’t feel like rope; they felt harder. 

Must be plastic. Zip Ties?

A loud bang brought your attention to the room at large instead of the laser focus you’d had on your not-so-metaphorical shackles. It surprised you to see a face you recognized from a long time ago attached to the figure that was strolling through the empty warehouse you were trapped in.

Eli? No, it can’t be; he was such a nice guy back in college. I never did anything to piss him off. So you echoed your thoughts allowed by calling, “Eli?”

“The one and only,” he grinned. His smile was the same as it had been all those years ago. Slightly unsettling. Something about his neverending charm had always set you on edge; it was part of the reason you had clung so tightly to Victor’s calm presence.

“What the hell is going on?”

“Funny that you phrase it like that,” he laughed. “Hell is exactly where you are right now. Our own little Temptress to lure out the Devil himself, as it were.”

You stared at him in blatant confusion. “What are you talking about?”

“Well, a certain old friend of yours is proving to be a real thorn in my side, so I need you to get him out of hiding. Victor and I need to have a little chat.”

“Victor?” you questioned incredulously. “I haven’t spoken to him in years!”

“Now, now,” he chided. “Lying is a sin. Good thing it’s my job to get rid of nasty things like that. I know you kept in contact with him after he went to prison.”

Your heart stuttered. No one was supposed to know about that. After the first letter you’d sent, Victor had requested that you always send messages as different people from different addresses, so it wouldn’t be traced back to you. You’d chalked it up as general paranoia, but now you weren’t sure it had been. “What are you going to do to me?”

“Nothing,” a new voice broke the tense atmosphere. “He’s not going to do a damn thing to you, because this has nothing to do with you.” It was Victor. The paleness of his body in sharp contrast to the gloom that was the warehouse around you.

“Oh, I think it does, Vic.” Eli’s smile had become something almost feral. Unhinged. “You see. I didn’t realize back then that you two were so close, so imagine my surprise when I started digging only to find that you kept in touch after all. These. Years.”

“Let her go, Eli. She’s got no place in your little quest to cleanse all of us. She’s not like us. She doesn’t have any powers.”

You squeezed your eyes shut for an instant. So that’s what this is about. Eli has lost his mind over these stupid powers. You knew about them, of course. Victor had told you in a vague sort of way in one of his letters; his findings hadn’t been nearly as negative as he’d first thought in that little experiment back in college.

“What are you talking about?” Ever the showman, Eli flung his arms out to the side dramatically as he asked that. “She’s got the most impressive power of us all! She managed to make our own little Grinch’s heart grow three sizes all on her own! And don’t try to say that she didn’t,” he waved a finger at his nemesis, “because you wouldn’t have come all this way if that were the case.”

“I’ve never said she didn’t matter. It would be stupid to try to lie,” Victor replied cooly. “I care about her more than anyone else on this absurd planet. But I won’t allow her to be dragged into your sick game. She’s innocent.”

“Was Eve innocent when she listened to the Devil in the Garden?” Eli challenged. “It’s my job to--”

“It’s not your job to do anything!” Victor snapped. He clenched his hand, and Eli fell to the floor gasping for breath.

Eli’s eyes were clenched as tightly as they would go against the pain as Victor deftly used a knife to remove the ties. “You won’t get away with this.”

“I already have.” He turned to you. “Get out of here,” he murmured so Eli couldn’t hear over the sounds of his own suffering. “There’s a black car out front. Get in, and they’ll take you somewhere safe.”

You squeezed his forearm. “Be careful, Vic.”

“When am I not?” There was a tiny little smirk on his face.

“I could think of a few times,” you replied as if this weren’t the most dangerous situation you’d experienced in your life.

“Go. I won’t be far behind.”

“I’ll hold you to that.” 

After all, you can’t say someone’s the most important thing in your life and just skip off, right?

The New Normal

The recent coming out party we’ve seen on the part of major world governments on the UFO Phenomena is not some spur of the moment thing. This information has been purposely hidden from you, compartmentalized, weaponized and is now being fed through the IV lines of culture because society has reached a state of openness and depravity even, not seen since the days of Noah and Lot. These “visitors” aren't innocent travelers doing some planet hopping. In fact, they aren't travelers or visitors at all! They've been here since the fall in the Eden Garden. Manifesting, influencing, working behind the scenes. False messianic minded entities coming under the guise of beings of benevolence and light. This is a deception most sinister and profound and its happening again right before our eyes. The return of these fallen divine council members on the brink of a major paradigm shift and turning point in history.

This has happened many times before since the fall and the lie and contract is always the same. Power, knowledge, wisdom in exchange for recognition, adoration, worship and veneration. Sinister serpents still tossing apples at our feet and we never learn. In every culture and civilization around the world you see these beings of light coming into the lives of men and pretending to offer a helping hand, a leg up, ease and convenience in health, medicine, technology, ect. all for something as seemingly simple as a foot in the door and a place in the crowd. These interventions never achieve anything but corruption and God never allows them to go on for long. We can look back throughout scripture and see numerous instances of angelic beings, fallen divine council members, ect coming into the daughters of men and having children with them, giants like goliath and other “men of renown” . A perverse and profane inversion and assault on the true creation and has not and will never be tolerated. God didn't send the flood as punishment for sin, not just anyways, it was a mass cleansing, a washing away of the influence and intervention of the fallen and you can look around today and see the skies beginning to darken again.

As early as Nazi Germany, Roswell, The Nuclear Arms and Space Race, these same beings approach the growing world powers of the day and offer their infamous forbidden fruit and sinful man gobbles it up core and all. This is why every major world power today can be linked to occult roots. Hitler and his Thule Society, The United States and orders like The Freemasons, Hellfire Club, Skull and Bones, Bohemian Grove, ect. These men are following an ancient and wicked tradition bartering influence and access for knowledge and the fallen work them like finger puppets. It works the same way you see people controlling and manipulating those struggling with an addiction. Offer and make ready your supply of the addictive substance, declare and demand your price. Man has such a horrid love of sin and darkness that it doesn't take much more than a whisper, a nudge in the right direction and the whole mountain comes down in an avalanche behind him.

Look around you today and ask yourself why now? Why the push and cry for truth and disclosure on a phenomena that has been around since the dawn of man? What's changed? What is going on in the world now that paves the way for the new normalization of this information that wasn't there in society proper 60 years ago? Its the new rise of Pagan dominance, the decline of Christianity and a sinful rot that hasn't been seen since biblical times. in fact, Paranormal Phenomena which has been a symptom of these eras in history, has increased off the charts in just the last few decades alone. Reports of activity are overflowing and just as smoke is seen before the flames, this activity is a blaring siren warning us of the tremendous spiritual 5 alarm wildfire on the horizon and right at our doors. We are at the end of an age. The end of the great Christian Piscean Era and the rise of the famed New Age known as The Age of Aquarius or The Age of Enlightenment. Friends, there is nothing new about this new age. Its repackaged terrors, a true pandora’s box that humanity has opened before and will most certainly open again. Creation is quaking beneath our feet. We have entered a giant liminal state and its being felt and observed the world over for a while now. Fox and Dana were right, the truth really is out there and its nothing you could have ever anticipated and more terrifying than most can imagine.

Welcome to the new normal.

10 Places With The Strongest Energy Field

Many people who are either outdoor enthusiasts, or just generally spiritual people seek their spiritual experiences in nature. Across the world, there are various destinations that contain spiritual significance that is both sacred and spiritual places in nature. With thousands of years of spiritual history, these places can provide answers and enrichment on our paths to enlightenment, as well as provide concentrated energy that will bring you to new heights in your spiritual path.

These are the top 10 spiritual places found in the world that are worth visiting, regardless of your religion or spiritual views.

1. Machu Picchu, Peru

It has been said that the sacred city of the Incas is magical, and this is indeed very true. Built high in the Andes, this particular place is one of the “Seven Wonders of the World”, and boasts of amazing scenery and stone monoliths that will leave you in awe of its energetic qualities. It seems that this place itself channels massive amounts of energy and allows people to experience something that is out of this world.

2. Crater Lake, Oregon

Claimed to be a major intersection of the Earth’s global grid, it is said that healing clay can be found there. Not only that, but there are several powerful vortexes that are claimed to still exist around Crater Lake. This area was formed 8,000 years ago after a massage eruption led to Mount Mazama collapsing. Plunging nearly 2000 feet below ground, this lake is the deepest in the US and the seventh deepest in the world.

The Native American Klamath tribe has always found this lake to be a spiritual and sacred site. One legend says that the Chief of the Above World and the Chief of the Below World battled against one another, leading to the destruction of Mount Mazama. Long ago, tribesman would use Crater Lake for vision questing. This area is still considered a highly spiritual spot. As a part of Crater Lake National Park, as well as a part of spiritual history rich with potential for the experience of a lifetime, consider making this a list topper on your places to see list!

3. Easter Island, Chile

Easter Island, Chili is a highly isolated location and is not very well known to the general public. However, it is the home to some very massive statues, which interestingly enough cannot be linked to any particular creator. Scientists have absolutely no idea of how exactly they originated. The mysterious qualities of the island don’t stop there either. There are 53 stone houses which form an uninhabited village. There are no windows or doors in any of these homes. The big mystery concerning this island, though, is the “Navel of the World”. This is a circular stone that many believe holds the secrets of the universe as it supposedly collects most of the spiritual energy lines of our planet.

4. Mount Kailash, Tibet

Located in the North of the Himalayas, Tibet, this fascinating mountain is the spiritual center of four great eastern religions: Tibetan Buddism, Hinduism, Jainism and the ancient Tibetan religion that came before Buddhism-Bongo.

Many people have traveled from around the world to this mountain, and currently, a growing number of people believe that Mount Kailash is the energy center of the Earth. It is always a popular belief that the entrance to the Forbidden City-Shambhala- is located near the mountain. Going on a pilgrimage around Mount Kailash, and swimming in Lake Manasarovar, also located near Kailash, are considered spiritual experiences that encourage redemption while washing away the sins we have committed during our lifetime.

5. Rila, Bulgaria

People have referred to Rila Mountain as the Nose of the Earth, due to the fact that it stood above everything else without submerging into water. Although things have changed today, this mountain still stands close to the heavens and has managed to preserve some of the most impressive miracles found in this spiritual epicenter, namely the beautiful Seven Rila Lakes and the mesmerizing Stob pyramids.

The former boasts powers of spiritual cleansing by thousands of people each year, while the latter serves as natural anthology rich in ancient myths and legends.

6. Sedona, Arizona

Not only is Sedona beautiful and serene, it has long been considered a spiritual power center. The power and energy that emanates from the vortexes found in Sedona are unmatched. The energy that is found in Sedona is the main reason for the large New Age community that has begun to grow in the area. These communities, which hold a variety of spiritual beliefs, practices, and healing modalities are the reason Sedona is often referred to as a spiritual Disneyland.

Anyone who has a sensitivity to subtle energies would be overwhelmed with the experience of standing in one of these vortices, as the energy that flows through you can be intense. People from around the world come to Sedona to experience this.

7. Socotra Archipelago

Socotra is an archipelago of four islands in the Indian Ocean to the Horn of Africa. The largest island occupies about 95% of the total area. Many species that are found in this regions are specific to this region only, due to isolation. The majestic landscapes make this area appear to have come straight from a science fiction movie.

When you are in this area, the appearance and feel can make it seems as though you have slipped into another dimension. You can be connected directly to the cosmos through the energy channeled in this spiritual minefield.

8. Stonehenge, UK

Stonehenge lies silhouetted against the skyline and overlooking the windswept Salisbury Plain. In the past centuries, as well as today, many theories have been provided in an attempt to explain the existence of this stone temple. However, the reason remains a mystery.

Stonehenge is world famous for its spectacular solar alignment that can be seen at the summer solstice on June 21st. The midsummer sun is seen rising over the Heel Stone from the center, causing thousands of people to gather at the monument each year to experience this majestic sight. Ancient people found the cycles of the Sun and the Moon to be importance, and they revered these bodies as powerful deity that could impact their daily life. These people also found areas of the Earth as massive energy portals and vortexes and used them to build statues, monuments, and temples which helped them connect more powerfully to their own spirituality.

9. Bosnian Pyramids, Bosnia

Based on carbon analysis, it has been found that these pyramids have been around since before the Neolithic period. This would make them over 12,000 years old, or older than the Egyptian pyramids, which seem to be more commonly well-known. The lake which is found below it is beautiful, blue, and clear of any negative presence. This water is referred to as living water because it is said that it purifies the body. Rooms are also found below it which are underground, and known as the “healing rooms”. Many say that these rooms cause the human body to regenerate faster, causing quicker healing to take place in the body.

10. The Plateau Uluru, Australia

As Australia’s spiritual center, this place is located right in the middle of the continent. Many locals, as well as tourists, say that you can feel the energy emanating in the area quickly upon arrival. A hollow plateau faces you and is locally referred to as Tiukurpa, meaning Dreamtime. Spiritual visions can be common while you are in the Uluru Plateau.

Modern life can be very chaotic, and it becomes impossible to sit back and seek solace in the realms of our own mind and soul. These experiences not only center us while relieving stress, but also push us in a more spiritual direction where we can access inner peace, gratitude, forgiveness, and much more enlightenment. Visiting any of these places that are rich in spirituality and organic energetic fields is a great way to step back and find your own true spiritual awakening.

*  NAMES :   as it’s mayhaps known by one or the other,  xeha.nort is an anagram of both words / phrases  “no heart” & “another” simultaneously, with an X thrown in at the beginning, to highlight his obsession with the greek letter χ chi and his personal interpretation to its meaning as he explained in bbs “ death / the ending of things ” but more about this later.   in my personal view, ‘tis more likely a code-name for his lifelong project of shattering himself & overtaking bodies & gathering 13 vessels ( yet “another” one ) to let them absorb his idividual ability to channel darkness & anti-matter in the soul thru the veins and flesh, in such a way that they’ll be able to live with it, without turning into a heartless, but with “heartless” execution and intend, so to speak.  spreading parts of his own heart / soul , for the clash of his aspired keyblade.war re-initiation and to re-create the true key to the universe. 

we do know that this man has no qualms whatsoever to change his own name , steal and apply foreign ones to himself  (  such as when he stole the name of anse.m the wise as his “apprentice” in terra’s body, and by extension his nobody re-arranging it to xem.nas, which is an anagram of said name but with an X yet again . it is also worth mentioning that he could habour signs of an identity crisis as presented in the very beginning of DDD where he declined xe.hanort as his name / quote: “ that’s not my name, i’m not xeha.nort. ” despite the fact that its the same entity in a foreign body / and immediately replaced it with another in order to have one.  )  thereby he decided on a point in his youth to bend his identity from the ordinary boy who’s grown on destiny’s islands, to a person who’ll change the world, a poisonous butterfly that broke out of its cocoon --- but does this only at the day when he was confronted by his future incarnation, informed of the plan he will craft in the next few decades.  but to be successful he must travel into the future to collect his subjects, in case his other branches of this plan fail.  after he was defeated in sora’s era, and returned to his own, the exact point from which he formerly departed, he does not remember the events he experienced during this journey through a multitude of points in time and a history that has yet to happen for him ;  but his goal, the purpose he’s given to himself in strong faith for it to be his destiny, will now lay dormant, branded into him, and with that, he will maintain his altered identity as xeha.nort from this point on.  the boy he’s been, the boy who could laugh clearly, is long dead,  the obsessed man has been born and thrives with his desire for knowledge, and he demanded to be called by this name only, by anyone, without exception. i consider his abandoned and forgotten birth name, in this headcanon at least , to be αρχίσει / archísei (  greek for “to begin” or “to start”  )  yet if he ever was to shed his code-name, he’d never be archisei again.  he’d have no name.  call it a wink of destiny, to be baptized after a reference of beginning, of introducing struggles and a first stage of apocalypse after the world has been already split.  a name he got, that also includes chi.  an inborn longing for a repeat of the ruin that began everything once a long time ago.   a destined fragment of himself that shall spark his obsession furthermore. his fate has been ordained and calculated from the start.  that is why he kept being drawn by his want and desire for destiny, and did not defy it.  he is paradox, through cosmos, through time, through himself, and he’ll be the start over and over, in an endless loop.

* χ  /  CHI :  as previously mentioned, he sees the letter of kye / key / chi / X as one that represents death and the end of things.  however, there are quite a few interpretations of its symbolism:

 “  in plato's timaeus, it is explained that the two bands that form the soul of the world cross each other like the letter Χ “  //  “ the world soul ( greek: ψυχὴ ) is, according to several systems of thought, an intrinsic connection between all living things on the planet, which relates to our world in much the same way as the soul is connected to the human body. plato adhered to this idea and it was an important component of most neoplatonic systems: therefore, we may consequently state that: this world is indeed a living being endowed with a soul and intelligence . a single visible living entity containing all other living entities, which by their nature are all related. “  //  it is also noticable how the crossing of the bands, as in two sides overlap and become one ( light and dark )  and it is seen in the crossed blades of the x-blade which is the key to the core of the universe .

“ chi, when fused within a single typespace with the greek letter rho Ρ,  it is called the “labarum” and used to represent the person of Jesus.Christ. “ //  christ is the ultimate sacrifice , and not only the born son of god, but also god’s respective incarnation as figure, fulfilling miracles, guiding his pupils  (  as example of cleansing mary.magdalene from the sins she was possessed by. imagine darkness as the manifested form of corrupt mentality and sins, if everything lives  )  christ is also seen as the lamb of god "behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world" in John 1:29, a key to deliverance breaking seven seals  //  now, given xeha.nort’s stated motivations in the ending of kh.3 , to remove everything in this universal purge to a point of null, remove all sin and wash the world clean. ruin brings about creation, death gives new life to rise from, a fascination for the hope after the doom.  death = salvation = rebirth.  it is that he sought to be a leader, or a wrong messiah, in this newly created paradise with his wisdom gained, to correct the misdeeds of the fatal corruption the world has been tainted by. 

[allrevelations]

God created human beings to share His divine life with them so He could be their life, and they could be His expression. This is why He created us not as instruments or tools to use, but as vessels to fill with Himself. And even after mankind fell into sin, this desire in God’s heart didn’t change.

But it’s impossible for fallen human beings to have God’s divine life since God can never fill a vessel contaminated by sin. Instead of giving up, however, God became a man named Yeshua the Messiah [Jesus Christ]. Yeshua [Jesus] lived a perfect human life on earth and was crucified on the cross to take away our sins. Through His sacrifice, our sins were washed away. When we believe in Yeshua the Messiah and receive Him as our Savior, we receive forgiveness of sins. But that isn’t all.

After three days, Yeshua [Jesus] resurrected from the dead, and 1 Corinthians 15:45 tells us that in resurrection, He “became a life-giving Spirit.” As the Spirit, He enters into us cleansed vessels that believe in Him. God—in Messiah, as the Spirit—comes to live us.

So if Messiah remains confined in our spirit and doesn’t fill our soul—our mind, emotion, and will—He’ll never be expressed through us. Instead, our living will only express our own thoughts, feelings, and decisions, not His. So God wants us to do good works. He commands us to “Love (Him) with all our heart, soul, mind and strength and love our neighbour as ourselves.”

In the New Testament, the Church of Ephesus is mentioned more than any other churches of the 1st century [among the first churches established]. It got a maximum input and guidance from the apostles and God Himself. The author tried to extract the types of inputs provided to the people of Ephesus and helps you in understanding the expectation of God from His people living on this planet.

How Long are the Eons?

"Some ages (saeculis) afterwards..."

-M. Tullius Cicero, Against Verres 2.4.73

"Thy name, O Lord, is for ever (aeternum): thy memorial, O Lord, unto all generations."

-Psalm 134:13 DRA

"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever."

-Hebrews 13:8 ESV

The word translated as 'forever' is αἰῶνας (aionas) in Greek and saecula in Latin. Aion means 'age', and saeculum is approximately the time span of a human life.

Some insist that aionios cannot refer to limited duration, however, as we see in the usage of aion and saeculum, words that refer to limited duration can be used to convey endlessness. Saying God is the same for all ages is a way of conveying endlessness with words that often convey limited duration. For this reason, although aionios could at times be referring to eternity, there is no reason to think that is the word's primary meaning.

"And no request that they (i.e. their fathers) make of thee shall be granted unto their fathers on their behalf; for they hope to live an eternal life (ζωην αιωνιον), and that each one of them will live five hundred years."

1 Enoch 10:10 (Charles) (emphasis mine)

“Whence to God alone we render worship, but in other things we gladly serve you, acknowledging you as kings and rulers of men, and praying that with your kingly power you be found to possess also sound judgment. But if you pay no regard to our prayers and frank explanations, we shall suffer no loss, since we believe (or rather, indeed, are persuaded) that every man will suffer punishment in eternal (αἰωνίου) fire according to the merit of his deed, and will render account according to the power he has received from God, as Christ intimated when He said, “To whom God has given more, of him shall more be required.”

-Justin Martyr, First Apology Chapter 17 (emphasis mine)

Eternal fire according to the merit of his deed? How can that be if the “merits of his deed” are finite by nature?

“And reckon ye that it is for your sakes we have been saying these things; for it is in our power, when we are examined, to deny that we are Christians; but we would not live by telling a lie. For, impelled by the desire of the eternal (αἰωνίου) and pure life, we seek the abode that is with God, the Father and Creator of all, and hasten to confess our faith, persuaded and convinced as we are that they who have proved to God by their works that they followed Him, and loved to abide with Him where there is no sin to cause disturbance, can obtain these things.”

-Justin Martyr, First Apology Chapter 8 (emphasis mine)

From this, it seems more likely that aionios life refers to a certain quality rather than duration. One way to translate aionios is 'world-class.' In English, 'world-class' does not refer to planets, but something being of a high quality. Kolasin aionion would be limited as the purpose of 'world-class correction' would to purify and come to an end. Life with God, on the other hand, being good in of itself and pertaining to existence with an eternal God, would be implied by 'world-class life.'

Why Kolasis is Corrective, Not Retributive: https://salvationforall.org/10_Strongholds/7-kolasin-meaning.html

“And the holy Spirit of prophecy taught us this, telling us by Moses that God spoke thus to the man first created: "Behold, before your face are good and evil: choose the good." (Dt. 30:15-19) And again, by the other prophet Isaiah, that the following utterance was made as if from God the Father and Lord of all: "Wash you, make you clean; put away evils from your souls; learn to do well; judge the orphan, and plead for the widow: and come and let us reason together, says the Lord: And if your sins be as scarlet, I will make them white as wool; and if they be red like as crimson, I will make them white as snow. And if you be willing and obey Me, you shall eat the good of the land; but if you do not obey Me, the sword shall devour you: for the mouth of the Lord has spoken it." (Is. 1:18-20) And that expression, "The sword shall devour you," does not mean that the disobedient shall be slain by the sword, but the sword of God is fire, of which they who choose to do wickedly become the fuel. Wherefore He says, "The sword shall devour you: for the mouth of the Lord has spoken it." And if He had spoken concerning a sword that cuts and at once dispatches, He would not have said, shall devour.”

-Justin Martyr, First Apology Chapter 44 (emphasis mine)

For (the Scripture) says: "The fire will try each man's work of what sort it is. If any man's work abide which he has built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man's work be burned, he shall suffer loss." But what work can be spoken of in these words as being "burned," save all that results from wickedness? Therefore our God is a "consuming fire" in the sense in which we have taken the word; and thus He enters in as a "refiner's fire," to refine the rational nature, which has been filled with the lead of wickedness, and to free it from the other impure materials, which adulterate the natural gold or silver, so to speak, of the soul. And, in like manner, "rivers of fire" are said to be before God, who will thoroughly cleanse away the evil which is intermingled throughout the whole soul. But these remarks are sufficient in answer to the assertion, "that thus they were made to give expression to the erroneous opinion that God will come down bearing fire like a torturer.”

-Origen, Against Celsus 4.13 (emphasis mine)

"See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven. What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go in search of the one that went astray? And if he finds it, truly, I say to you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that never went astray. So it is not the will of my Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish."

-Matthew 18:10-14 ESV

The New Normal

The recent coming out party we’ve seen on the part of major world governments on the UFO Phenomena is not some spur of the moment thing. This information has been purposely hidden from you, compartmentalized, weaponized and is now being fed through the IV lines of culture because society has reached a state of openness and depravity even, not seen since the days of Noah and Lot. These “visitors” aren't innocent travelers doing some planet hopping. In fact, they aren't travelers or visitors at all! They've been here since the fall in the Eden Garden. Manifesting, influencing, working behind the scenes. False messianic minded entities coming under the guise of beings of benevolence and light. This is a deception most sinister and profound and its happening again right before our eyes. The return of these fallen divine council members on the brink of a major paradigm shift and turning point in history. 

This has happened many times before since the fall and the lie and contract is always the same. Power, knowledge, wisdom in exchange for recognition, adoration, worship and veneration. Sinister serpents still tossing apples at our feet and we never learn. In every culture and civilization around the world you see these beings of light coming into the lives of men and pretending to offer a helping hand, a leg up, ease and convenience in health, medicine, technology, ect. all for something as seemingly simple as a foot in the door and a place in the crowd. These interventions never achieve anything but corruption and God never allows them to go on for long. We can look back throughout scripture and see numerous instances of angelic beings, fallen divine council members, ect coming into the daughters of men and having children with them, giants like goliath and other “men of renown” . A perverse and profane inversion and assault on the true creation and has not and will never be tolerated. God didn't send the flood as punishment for sin, not just anyways, it was a mass cleansing, a washing away of the influence and intervention of the fallen and you can look around today and see the skies beginning to darken again. 

As early as Nazi Germany, Roswell, The Nuclear Arms and Space Race, these same beings approach the growing world powers of the day and offer their infamous forbidden fruit and sinful man gobbles it up core and all. This is why every major world power today can be linked to occult roots. Hitler and his Thule Society, The United States and orders like The Freemasons, Hellfire Club, Skull and Bones, Bohemian Grove, ect. These men are following an ancient and wicked tradition bartering influence and access for knowledge and the fallen work them like finger puppets. It works the same way you see people controlling and manipulating those struggling with an addiction. Offer and make ready your supply of the addictive substance, declare and demand your price. Man has such a horrid love of sin and darkness that it doesn't take much more than a whisper, a nudge in the right direction and the whole mountain comes down in an avalanche behind him. 

Look around you today and ask yourself why now? Why the push and cry for truth and disclosure on a phenomena that has been around since the dawn of man? What's changed? What is going on in the world now that paves the way for the new normalization of this information that wasn't there in society proper 60 years ago? Its the new rise of Pagan dominance, the decline of Christianity and a sinful rot that hasn't been seen since biblical times. in fact, Paranormal Phenomena which has been a symptom of these eras in history, has increased off the charts in just the last few decades alone. Reports of activity are overflowing and just as smoke is seen before the flames, this activity is a blaring siren warning us of the tremendous spiritual 5 alarm wildfire on the horizon and right at our doors. We are at the end of an age. The end of the great Christian Piscean Era and the rise of the famed New Age known as The Age of Aquarius or The Age of Enlightenment. Friends, there is nothing new about this new age. Its repackaged terrors, a true pandora’s box that humanity has opened before and will most certainly open again. Creation is quaking beneath our feet. We have entered a giant liminal state and its being felt and observed the world over for a while now. Fox and Dana were right, the truth really is out there and its nothing you could have ever anticipated and more terrifying than most can imagine. 

Welcome to the new normal.

1 Kings 14:1-15:24, Acts 10:1-23, Psalms 133:1-3, Proverbs 17:7-8

Today is the 15th day of June. Welcome to the Daily Audio Bible. Welcome to the middle of the month. I’m Brian. It’s great to be here with you today as we wind down another work week and take the next step forward in the Scriptures. We’re reading from the Good News translation this week. First Kings chapter 14 verse one through 15, verse 24 today.

Commentary:

Okay. So, when we began 1 Kings, we began and traveled the story of Solomon, which was laid out before us in detail just as we had in the books of Samuel, following Saul's life and then the intertwining of David's life and then following David's life and then we followed Solomon's life. Now that Solomon has died, the united monarchy of Israel has divided into two separate nations, right? The northern tribes of Israel and the southern of Judah. So, the books of Kings now represent themselves as the books of Kings. Like, we don’t have all of the detail for every single one of the kings like we did for Saul and David and Solomon. So, we kind of get a synopsis of generation after generation after generation in both of these two countries. And, so, it's easy enough to get lost. But what's not easy to miss is that generations are going by and they’re moving in the wrong direction. So, we see now, clearly, that after Solomon's reign things began to slip downward just as Solomon kind of fell away and turned away from God at the end of his life, that began to slide downward that continues. And we will certainly have the breath of fresh air when a new king comes to the throne who fears God and turns the people back to God, but we’ll see that that is a that is the exception and not the rule, which leads that Israel in the North and Judah in the south on a perilous journey. And we will continue to follow that story.

In the book of acts something incredibly pivotal happens today. So, with the story of Cornelius, the Roman military leader in Joppa, which is near modern-day Tel Aviv, he has a vision and he's told to send for Peter. Simon Peter was up in Caesarea. So, that would be up the coast to the north. Meanwhile, Peter has this vision of a sheet coming down from heaven with animals that he was not supposed to eat under Mosaic law but he was being told to eat them. So, what we have brewing here is a fundamental shift in the way that the church is going to go. And now that we have arrived here we need talk about it so we understand what we're heading into. Cornelius, the Roman, is a Gentile. Jewish religious people did not interact with Gentiles in any kind of personal way for lots of reasons that we’ll get to over time. So, Cornelius sends for Peter who has a vision that essentially sets aside for him the dietary requirements of the Mosaic law. One of the reasons that the Jews and the Gentiles, only one of many reasons that the Jews and Gentiles, were not associating with each other was over this, over what they ate. The Gentiles eight unclean things. And here's Peter being told to do that. So, Peter doesn't know exactly what to do. And these men who were sent to get him show up. And we’ll have to follow that story tomorrow. But what is happening here is something very, very pivotal in the trajectory of how the early church will go. And we will see that unfold and talk about it more tomorrow.

Prayer:

Father, we thank You for Your word, another day to allow it to wash into our minds and cleanse us, another day for it to be planted in our hearts, yielding fruit of the spirit, another day to be counseled and comforted by it. And we invite Your Holy Spirit to do just that. Come Holy Spirit, lead us into all truth we ask. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

I also mentioned yesterday that the Daily Audio Bible Family Reunion for this year that takes place over Labor Day weekend this year is sold out. So, that's exciting but I know there's a lot you that still want to come. So, I mean, we stepped into this not knowing that anyone would come. And we thought, well, maybe, maybe a hundred people would want to come. And we started looking around through the rolling hills of Tennessee, you know, like, what can we do and we figured out a scenario that would allow several hundred of us to be together and thought, you know, it's a family reunion. It’s kind of outdoorsy, kind of campy thing. That's a pretty big family reunion. We should be good and we will be good, but it's full. So, we have a waitlist now. You can go to dailyaudiobible.com to the Initiatives section where the Family Reunion section is and get on the waitlist. and over the next couple weeks we’ll be exploring how we could accommodate more. I mean, we can accommodate lots, but not if it rains. I mean, after all, you’re coming to the Daily Audio Bible Family Reunion and not the DAB mud Fest 2018. I don’t think that will happen. It's a beautiful time of year here, but we want to make sure we have shelter. So, you can get on the waitlist and we’ll be working through every conceivable scenario and see how may we can all bring together. And we'll go from there.

Community Prayer and Praise:

Good morning Daily Audio Bible family. This is Lee from New Jersey. Today is June 11th. It is Monday. On my way to work. Mobile headquarters. And, so, today is day 33 of prayer against anger. And today is actually a confession of prayer because yesterday, yes, I gave into anger. My wife, my daughter, man, they’re killing each other. Man, so, getting involved in that, trying to separate them from their arguments and then both of them getting at me, forget it. I just lost it. But none in a way like the past, nothing like that. Nothing crazy. But it’s true. I gave into anger. So, today is time for confession. Father God, we love You. I am here, one of Your children, confessing to You and in front of my brothers and sisters Lord that I have given into anger Lord. Among other sins that I have given into Lord, anger is the one that I’m focused on. And anger is the most destructive, at least in my life. I have given into anger Lord, where I have sinned against my daughter and I have sinned against my wife Lord. And I have sinned against You. God, I ask You for to give me oh Lord, which I thank You for forgiving me for You’ve always forgiven me Lord. Help me to continue to learn and to continue to grow and not allow the enemy to step in and try to make me feel more ashamed than I should Lord. You give us enough shame Lord that we can acknowledge what we did that was wrong, so we can see what we did that was wrong Lord and not repeat it. Thank You, Father for giving that wisdom to us Lord, that godly wisdom Lord, to know to give us just the amount of everything that we need - the good, the bad, the pain - and of course everything else that comes with all of the blessings and all of your wisdom Lord. We ask this in Jesus name.

Hi. This is Melody from Canada. And I’ve been impacted lately by death. In the last few weeks three of my friend’s relatives have died, two from cancer, another one from a sudden-death. And, of course, there’s the celebrity __ . And I’ve been in the place before of wanting to commit suicide and it’s a very dark place to be. And I really feel for those who are in that situation and wanting to do that and not having the ability to reach out. So, I pray life over them and over all the nations represented in this community. Jesus said, I am the light of the world and he who follows me will not live in darkness but will have the light of life – John 8:12. And, I just pray that Jesus, the light of the world, will shine His light on us all for the joy of life. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Thank you so much, Daily Audio Bible listeners for this opportunity to share our prayer requests and that you would join me in praying for my husband Benjamin who’s going through a lot of transitions and downsizing at his work. And today he’s just having a really tough day, feeling very discontented even though we feel very blessed and thankful for the life that the Lord’s given us. But he reached out asking for prayer and was kind of being snarky today and yesterday as well and I was kinda angry with him. So, just him reaching out in prayer today really softened my heart towards him and changed my attitude and perspective. So, I just lift him up to the Lord and just ask that would pray with me that the Lord will give him His perspective and remind him of all the things to be thankful for and that we’re blessed by and to run from the enemy and hedge of protection around him. So, thank you so much. Appreciate it.

Hi neighbors. It’s Lisa the Encourager. I wanted to call in and especially pray for the dear woman that called in on June the 7th on the community…no I’m sorry...it wasn’t the community prayer…it was just on June 7th. And I, I was actually walking, listening to it, when I came home this evening I looked for it again  to see what day it was on because it just really stuck on my heart. And she basically has been…has been a long-time listener and she’s in trouble with her marriage. Her husband recently retired and she retired and he’s a physician or was a physician and is very controlling and now she’s started to drink. So, and it’s damaging to her, damaging to her heart and her soul and her spirit is just broken. And I am just so moved by her call my sweetheart. And I just want to know I am going to pray with you and for you and I just want everybody that’s listening right now to hold hands with me and pray for this dear woman that has been a Daily Audio Bible listener for a long time. And let’s all just pray together. So, I’m reaching out my hand right now on the right-hand side and my left-hand side is for you, sweetheart, because I’m holding your hand right now because I want you to know that I’m here for you and I am praying with you. And I’m praying for your husband too, that God will soften his heart for you. And dear God, I pray for this dear sweet woman that had the courage to call in…been a long-time listener God and now she’s turned herself over to destruction in alcohol Lord and relying upon that because she’s so hurt inside God. And I know You feel her pain. And if we all join hands together tonight and pray for this dear woman, God. We call upon your name to…

Satan’s Final Solution from the Beginning

By Joe Southerland   Published on: February 9, 2021

“And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD” (Job 1:12).

“He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil” (1st John 3:8).

We are witnessing the trailing strands of Satan’s long, dark, corrupting thread that runs throughout the entire Bible. Before our eyes, Satan’s long-sought-after goal of obtaining complete global domination over Mankind is once again within his grasp.

It has been a long, wide path of destruction Satan has blazed for himself and his minions to entrap Mankind in his tempting snares. But now, he is primed to finish what he conceived in his vile heart ages ago in the Garden of Eden — the complete spiritual defilement and domination of Mankind.

Satan’s Opening Act

In Genesis 3:15, after Satan’s first rebellious deceptions were vomited forth to Eve, God prophesied Satan and his minions would perpetually war with Eve’s seed, Jesus Christ, and those who called upon His name. Though this judgment was damning, Satan in his arrogant pride would claim victory, for He had succeeded in separating future generations of Adam from God, as they were now all born spiritually dead. But his dark work in Eden was only Satan’s beginning act.

In Revelation 12:4, we see Satan, pictured as a dragon, as he starts his four-millennium-long pursuit of the woman (Israel/those in faith relationship with God), as he attempted to devour her child Jesus Christ even before he was born. The Bible provides us a wealth of historic details on Satan’s strategies to separate Mankind eternally from God.

Satan’s Pre-flood Global Spiritual Corruption nearly succeeds…

In Genesis 4:8, though not specifically mentioned, Satan’s handiwork is on display as he destroys the first two sons of Eve – Cain spiritually and Able physically. As in Job 1:6-12, God, for His greater purposes, had removed His hedge of protection and allowed Satan and Cain to perform their will. While God would ensure Mankind’s survival by blessing Eve with Seth, Satan would try to destroy them physically and/or spiritually by keeping them from calling upon the name of the Lord (Genesis 4:26). And he nearly succeeded, for God appears to have given Satan nearly free reign up until Noah and his family are sealed into the Ark.

By Genesis 6:7 of the pre-flood era, Satan’s cancerous corruptions had spiritually blackened almost all of Mankind upon the face of the earth. Left to his own will and without the intervention of God, Mankind had descended into the self-centered spiritual decay outlined by the Apostle Paul in Romans 1:18-32. Satan rejoiced, for disastrously rebellious, pre-flood Mankind was deemed beyond redemption by God who sentenced them to the first death – as their bodies were washed away in the cleansing waters of the flood. Only Noah’s family of eight was hedged by God and saved.

Satan’s Post-flood Global Destruction attempt…

In Genesis 11, Satan tried to repeat his previous diabolical success by raising the first recorded global god-king, Nimrod, in order to again destroy what remained of Mankind, Noah’s rapidly expanding offspring. As a foreshadowing of things to come throughout history, Satan would empower a thoroughly corrupted man in willful open rebellion against God to do his evil bidding.

Nimrod, Satan’s first prototype of the Antichrist, through wars of conquest, had subjugated all Mankind and, in doing so, created the first known One-World Government (OWG) and One-World Religion (OWR). God would have none of it and directly intervened, or Satan’s wicked plan would have worked to perfection. God abruptly thwarted the Father of Lies and miraculously confounded the tongues of all Noah’s 70 grandsons, formed them into separate nations, and then scattered them upon the face of the earth.

Though Satan would use his god-king template to spiritually corrupt and deceive entire nations throughout history. Even though he is a powerful being, Satan has his limitations; for unlike God, he is neither omniscient, omnipotent, nor omnipresent.

God Aborts Satan’s Plan and Hedges His Power Upon the Earth…

God scattered the nations, knowing full well that Satan’s power is finite and that by decentralizing the governance amidst multiple nations, Satan’s influence and power would be dramatically weakened. God knows that the potential for great evil comes with consolidation of too much power in the hands of a few people, who could fall under the controlling and corrupting influence of Satan as he temptingly appeals to peoples’ self-centered, sin natures.

Therefore, to maximize and enforce his will and deceptions upon the world, Satan must concentrate his power upon spiritually wicked rulers in high places of power and in principalities. It was Lord Acton, the British historian, who said, “All power tends to corrupt; absolute power corrupts absolutely.” The reason this quote rings so true is that it speaks directly to the fallen sin-nature that resides within each and every member of Mankind. Satan knows absolute power corrupts people, and ultimately his power over Mankind thrives upon that fact.

Satan Focuses His Attacks upon Israel and the Seed of Eve…

Hamstrung by God since the Tower of Babel, Satan’s strategy switched from taking global dominion outright to a two-pronged approach: 1) destroy the seed of Eve, which would come via the line of Shem (the Semites), Heber (the Hebrews) to Abraham (the Jews), and 2) corrupt the masses of humanity by spreading false religions which appealed to the sin-nature within Mankind.

In short, Satan succeeded in corrupting/destroying the Lineage of King David and corrupting the nations of Israel/Judah to the point that God allowed the destruction of the Jewish nations, temple, and capital of Jerusalem. But Satan failed, for Israel “brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne” (Revelation 12:5).

Thwarted by the Messiah, Satan retrenches for the Church Age

Satan was enraged by the unforeseen events of the Messiah defeating death and then birthing the Church, but he was not defeated, and he retrenched. During the unfolding Church Age, Satan adds three new objectives to his plan: 1) destroy, attack and internally corrupt the churches, 2) destroy, attack and corrupt the remnant of Israel, and 3) set the stage for the Antichrist’s End-Time rule. Additionally, Satan still maintained his successful corrupting attacks upon the masses of humanity through raising and spreading false religions and spiritually compromising the rulers of the nations.

However, Satan was frustrated; despite all his evil success, his limited power was insufficient to control all Mankind dispersed over the entire earth. But given time, that would all change.

God Advances Technology – Satan’s Span increases

For his greater purposes, God has allowed the advance of technology in the waning centuries of the Church Age as He oversaw the gradual accumulation of man’s knowledge of the underpinning laws upon which he created our world and our universe*. The Lord’s pleasure was to shape discovery and invention in order to set the perfect technological conditions to maximize the Lord God’s coming harvests for His kingdom.

Satan, ever the opportunist, has always embraced and leveraged technology to expand his influence and power amongst Mankind. His corrupting lies were at first limited to face-to-face and word-of-mouth contacts, and then he gradually expanded his deceptions through the written and then printed word.

Now, armed with global communications, mass media and social media, with little effort, Satan can place his lies and deceptions into the hands and before the eyes of nearly every soul on the planet. But Satan wants much more than that. Satan’s pride swells, for now, due to technology, he can once again consolidate and concentrate his power in his desire to control and defile all Mankind. And according to Scripture, he will attempt to do just that.

Satan’s Final Solution – Totalitarian Global Control

No longer limited geographically due to telecommunications, Satan can now enforce tight-fisted control over his children of disobedience to secure his global political and spiritual ambitions. Today, his globalist minions and crop of billionaire business elites are working with and within the nations and global governance bodies to form the underpinning structures required for the next phase of his plan.

Satan’s grand strategy, first conceived in Babel, can now be vigorously relaunched with a new global god-king, the new Nimrod, Caesar, and Fuhrer. Known by many names — Son of Perdition, the Beast, the Antichrist — he will be installed and then enthroned by Satan to rule over the entire earth to align all of Mankind to his wicked will. We know from Revelation Chapter 17 that Satan’s Antichrist will cease power and control the world through ten evil kings/rulers who have sworn their complete allegiance to their master.

The ensuing seven-year reign of the Antichrist will be the most horrific, brutal and bloody period of terror the world has ever seen, leading to the persecution, pursuit, enslavement, starvation and slaughter of hundreds of millions, if not billions. In the final three-and-one-half years of his demonic rule, the Beast will proclaim himself god and demand all nations, tribes and tongues worship him as God, or face death.

According to Jesus Christ, this will be a time worse than any other in history. But Satan will not prevail.

The Lion of Judah Triumphs

At Tribulation’s end, all of Satan’s brilliant schemes will ultimately prove to be failures as the KING of KINGs and LORD of LORDs triumphantly returns and, with the utterance of His voice, destroys the Antichrist and his godless, satanic worshippers. Satan of Revelation Chapter 12, “the great dragon, that old serpent, called the Devil, which deceiveth the whole world” will, at the direction of the Lamb of God, be bound with a great chain and cast into a bottomless pit for a thousand years.

Come out of her, my people

Already, the Prince of the Power of the Air and his children are taking control of the data being transmitted into our lives as they work towards his final act of rebellion against God. Do not be ensnared in Satan’s deceptive utopian promises, nor his false religions, nor become tangled in the materialistic weeds of this fleeting world.

Drawn near to Jesus Christ, and he will draw near to you even though he has never been far from you. Get right with God. Get into His Word. Spread the Gospel.

May our mighty God bless and strengthen you! Maranatha!

( Churches/Preachers have done a terrible job of helping the Believers to Understand Mankind’s Greatest Enemy, Satan. Time is Short now, Great Evil is Rising and Soon Satan will have full Control over the Whole World, No Man will survive what’s coming unless Mankind Chooses JESUS as Lord & Savior, Born Again, Be Saved, and unless GOD Steps in before it’s too late, all Mankind will Perish, Satan’s ultimate goal, he HATES All of US & his Total Agenda is to Destroy/Murder us all and take to Hell !  KNOW OUR ENEMY Satan !!! ) Leho

I was one of the many crores (millions) of people who headed to the Prayag Kumbh 2019 – which was the  Ardh Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj, earlier known as Allahabad.  Media reports say that the numbers are estimated to be 15 crores or 150 million or more this year. And while apparently the Guinness Book of World Records pronounced the Maha Kumbh Mela in 2013 as the “largest ever gathering of human beings for a single purpose” it is believed that the Ardh Kumbh in Prayagraj this year would have more people thronging the shores of the Sangam – the confluence of the rivers Ganga, Yamuna and the mythical Saraswati.

Kumbh Mela – a melting pot of faith and devotion

Beckoned by “Mother Ganga” or “Ganga Maa”, the  banks of the river are filled with crores of pilgrims who have nothing else to offer but their faith and devotion . An old man clutching his aging wife, a young boy carried by his doting father on his head, a mother with her teenage daughters staying close together  – families bonded by love and duty are here to pray to the goddess river.

At the Sangam it’s their devotion and belief that bathes their minds as they dip into the river. The water is warm , like the affection of a mother welcoming them into an embrace . She welcomes the  crores of people who believe that a mere dip in her lap will wash them off their sins . 

Faith has many dimensions to it and this is probably the most profound aspect of it . And that is the single purpose that has drawn millions of people to the Prayag Kumbh 2019. 

Kumbh Mela – A spiritual journey

However for me it was curiosity that had initially drawn me to the Kumbh Mela. And when I received a media invite from Uttar Pradesh Tourism and Lonely Planet Magazine, I decided to accept it to understand the underlying motivation that brings people in hordes to the Kumbh.  And waves and waves of them arrived, carrying their bundles upon their heads, holding their near and dear ones close lest they get lost in the madding crowd.

I have a phobia for crowds and yet, I stood there, transfixed and watched.Wearing their finest clothes, they greeted me with beaming smiles and readily posed for photos as they told me their stories. And while they came from nooks and corners of the country – on foot, on bullock carts, on overcrowded buses and trains, chartered helicopters and flights, they all came for the one single dip in the lap of mother Ganga.

And as I watched them immersed in their faith, something stirred inside me as well. The curious onlooker in me was swept away by the force of spiritual fervour that filled the air. And I was simply overwhelmed.

Just then, the voice of my guide, Sandeep interrupted my reverie as I heard him say , ” All Bollywood films begin with a lost and found story in the Kumbh.” And as we smiled,  we listened to the voices of people calling out to their lost loved ones over the loudspeaker. I suddenlyrealized that I had indeed embarked on a different journey this year.

But this post is not about me or my inner journey and my tryst with spirituality. It is about a guide to the Prayag Kumbh 2019 with some information on the importance of Kumbh mela.  There are three other venues for the Kumbh Melas besides Prayagraj – Haridwar, Ujjain and Nasik -Trimbakeshwar being the other three and it is celebrated four times over twelve years. While it is the Sangam of the three rivers in Prayagraj, the venues for the other spiritual festivals are the banks of the Ganga in Haridwar, the Godavari in Nasik and Shipra in Ujjain.

The story of Kumbh Mela

The Kumbh is referred to as the sacred pitcher which carried the nectar of immortality or Amrut. The ancient Puranas or the Vedic texts talk about the samudra manthan – the churning of the oceans when the Devas and the Asuras – deities and demons. fought over the Kumbh of Amruta or the immortal nectar. According to the legend, Lord Vishnu disguised as a beautiful woman called Mohini tricked the demons and gave the nectar to the gods. And as he flew heavenward with the Kumbh, a few drops of the nectar were spilt on the four sites. The entire legend takes over twelve days which in human calendar translates into twelve years. And astrologically the dates of the mela are planned keeping in mind the planet positions and the auspicious time. Over the period, the rivers become symbolically filled with the nectar and a mere dip is enough to  cleanse people of all sins.

The origin of Kumbh is not known historically but it was Shri Adi Shankaracharya, the Hindu saint and philosoopher who established the Kumbh Mela and the Ardh Kumbh and brought all the different sections of the Hindu faith together to the Kumbh. The word, “akharas” is believed to have derived from “akhand” which means indivisable. It is believed that Adi Shankaracharya established ten akharas.

The ritualistic dip in the rivers find mention in the travels of Hieun Tsang or Xuanzang who apparently witnessed several devotees celebrate the festival in a town. It is believed to have been identified as Prayagraj during the reign of King Harsha. However historians are still divided as to whether the Chinese traveller was recording the Kumbh Mela or if it was a Buddhist ritual.

There is the Maha Kumbh which happens every 144 years besides the Kumbh Mela and the Ardh Kumbh At Prayagraj it is the Ardh Kumbh this year and it is from January 15  to March 4. Although every day is believed to be a divine experience, there are specific auspicious days for bathing – referred to as Shahi Snaan. In Prayagraj Ardh Kumbh the dates are January 15, February 4, February 10, February 19 and March 4. For more Kumbh mela infomation, you can refer the official website and wikipedia as well .

Kumbh Mela and Naga Sadhus

Coming back to my experience of the Prayagraj Kumbh, I was there during the second Shahi Snaan on February 4. While it was an overwhelming experience to see waves and waves of devotees, the Naga Sadhus are the showstoppers. Out of the millions of people who throng the Kumbh it is amazing how everyone’s attention is veered towards the naked Naga Sadhus .

Pic Courtesy – UP Tourism

Of course they are dramatic in their appearance , sometimes stark naked but at many times covered in rudraksham beads and many have a fancy head gear as well . Smeared in ash from burnt wood of dead trees, they have an aura around them. They are friendly enough but most of them will pose for you and chat you up if you offer them money . And they know the US dollar from the Singapore Dollar .

I would have personally liked to spend more time with them , understand what made them give up their normal life .Shedding clothes is just a metaphor for shedding their inhibitions . While most of them are colourful personalities, I read somewhere that some of them were indeed professionals who had given to their regular life to become Naga Sadhus .

But my guide says that they live in cities like Varanasi in their communes and sometimes they may even merge with the locals , bereft of their identity as a Naga Sadhu. Indeed some of them apparently carry even fancy smart phones and drive cars – but then I have only heard of it from people. Perhaps one day I will get to speak to a couple of Naga Sadhus and understand the mysticism around them .

My Kumbh Mela Experience

However it was the entire atmosphere of positive energy that overwhelmed me. And I am not just referring to the pilgrims. Even though we are a media group, we walked around for miles and merged with the milieu. From the smiling cops to the selfless cleaners, everyone was so selflessly dedicated to the Kumbh Mela. I am completely impressed by the immaculate arrangements. I walked around for miles and everywhere it was clean and spotless. From toilets to tents, there were facilities for every kind of traveller and pilgrim. There were even helicopters that will fly you to the Sangam .

  Everything functioned as clockwork. There was security everywhere , even police on horseback. CCTVs awere installed everywhere. Helpful and friendly voices reached out to you , if you were lost. I have a phobia of crowds and yet I could barely feel the chaos of the five crore people as crowds were regulated. There were several bathing ghats and boats took you around.

Where to stay in Kumbh ?

Tent cities surrounded the Kumbh and you could stay in luxury or in simple tents with basic accommodation near the sacred site. We stayed in Indraprastha Tent City which was on the other banks of the Kumbh and there were e-rickshaws that would take us to the pontoon bridges which would take you across to the mela grounds.It is better to take the contact of the e-rickshaw driver and ask him to meet you at the pontoon bridge when you head back.

There are many bridges and hence make a note of the sector and number . The administration regulates these bridges based on the crowd and the cops are always helpful. However a bit of patience is requested from our side. Although it is advisable to stay near the mela grounds, there are shuttle buses from the city to the sacred venue in case you want to stay there.

When to visit the Kumbh Mela ?

While most pilgrims like to visit during the Shahi Snaan days, I would have personally preferred to be here on a regular day to soak in the atmosphere in a relaxed manner. However there are several restrictions on the days of the Shahi Snaan to ensure that there is no stampede and the people are safe.

It is important to understand the traffic arrangements as well as there are several check points and most of the routes are closed. It is advisable to spend at least a couple of days before and after the Shahi Snaan so that you get to understand these regulations and you can experience the Kumbh Mela without any hassle.

My Kumbh Momemt

My Kumbh moment came actually in Ayodhya and not at Prayagraj. I was overwhelmed by the faith of the millions who had travelled all the way from small villages and towns just to have a dip in the Sangam and then they visited Ayodhya where their pilgrimage is considered to be “complete” . I met a family of 30 members who had come from a small village near Uttar Pradesh – Bihar and Nepal border to Kanakbhavan in Ayodhya after the Shahi Snaan.

The serene temple nestled inside the sprawling palace was believed to be gifted to Sita by Kaikeyi after the wedding to Rama. And this family took a break after their long journey while the children played . “Hamara ek photo le lo” they requested . While I complied , they told me with beaming smiles that they will now begin their long journey back home. It would take them another week to get home as they have to travel by trains, buses and bullock carts to reach their village. I was humbled by the singular devotion, the unshakable faith and the immense positive energy . As I showed them the photograph, they thanked me and said , ” Sab Ganga Maa ki Krupa hai. ” (Its the mercy of Ganga ) I am grateful to have been part of this soulful journey.

[whimsically-ominously-auspice]

If you're in my prison and you simply ask for something to do...

You Have something to do -- sit and wonder what you can do

Be specific.

Share. Give what little you have in your cell with thought and you'll receive in return.

So if you dont use your silverware and it's clean, keep it. You'll save water and effort to wash it for someone else on the planet.

Then you'll receive a gift in return.

Yes you only get a spoon. A spoon can be used to cut things and then you can also use your hands.

You get a fresh terry cloth napkin each time. Keep it until it's dirty. You may get a second one for in case yours gets dirtier than you expect so you're supposed to keep both

If you're keeping your napkins for ecological reasons you'll always have two. This way you'll always have one clean enough in case you have like bbq ribs and it's messy.

Then if you have to turn in 2 at once you should get 2 on your next tray. If not keep it and you'll get your additional the next round.

The guard may not assume you want to continue to keeping your napkins. You may be angry at the world And want to have extra laundry. They don't know. Others may assume you want to continue the program and will continue to give you two 2x more just in case.

We take careful care to wash the napkins in bleach and seperate from other rags.

Many times i go to a restaurant and find that the linen napkin smells of grease and it feels dirty to me. So I take pride in being clean, and orderly. So we use Terry as they absorb and cleanse better than linen. And they wash better since they absorb and rinse better and quicker as our study shows. So its just a normal rag but it's best.

Many are using their napkins to clean their little cells m which I appreciate. But if you remove your napkins from your tray and place it seperate from the food tray in the lower basket you will get a larger hand towel and cleaning product.

Microfiber is used for Windows and silver faucets only.

The towel you should use per cleaning product is wrapped around the particular cleaning products which are labeled.

Now food. If you like something. You should place it where your milk carton goes.

So if yoh really liked the baked beans, then you take a single baked bean and you place it where your milk carton was. Then you will get extra baked beans.

So lasagna, a simple piece of it or sauce or something put there. Just a small piece the size of a green pea.

If you want extra milk then you fold the top up and place it upside down.

Some people are already getting extra milk. If you don't like then just return it unopened. You will get a bottle of water instead. If you want water just put a drop of water where the milk carton was. From your sink. Youll also get a temperature protecting cup of 40 oz to drink from by filling with sink water. As well as an ice cold bottle of water with your meal.

To indicate you've put food in your milk carton area, lay it down in the main portion area of your plate where the entree goes. Or you may also indicate by placing like for example where the beans were -- but also you are required to put one bean or a small sample of the sauce where the milk was.

If you want less beans leave a bean in the bean area.

So for less think of it as tablespoons. 1 bean is one tablespoon. 2 beans is 2 tablespoons and about half. Its 5 to 7 heaping tablespoons for sides. Double for an entree. So just keep the number at 5. Some items heap up better than others. Like macaroni and cheese .

So y'all have your lists and you don't realize that you gotta share. You gotta give up something to get some thing. I ain't giving you shit for free

Just like if you want forgiveness then you must condition yourself to forever stop doing something. And preserve that.

I'm not handing out anything spiritual in my prison. Only material goods. I'm a material girl

But you must pay for your sins and what you want that is good. It is a prison.

Its not a fucking hotel.

Now there's rooms without glass on the Windows. Those are smoking rooms. So you must go to the window and beg your neighbor for contraband. So we have an Alexa type system that recognizes key words in certain rooms

If you're in a glass window room and say smoke you don't get smokes the system doesn't recognize the word. It ignores you.

You go to the window and say "got any smokes?!" Has to be that phrase. Then you should add "baby number 4" for the 4th child. Or "wife" or "mom" so it knows who needs. Then there is actually a machine in the wall that dispenses them. It only fits 4 cartons of cigarettes. Whatever brand you were smoking before arrest. If you don't want the brand you place it at the basket, the guard will ask you what you want.

They will have to go in to refill the machine. it has a key. So you'll be shackled if you don't have an additional room. Otherwise you'll go in your room and they close the door and lock it.

So you see my prison is quite magical.

It uses a lot of technology.

Wisely.

Guards aren't watching you 24/7 although they can watch and listen. There are some that sit in front of 15 screens or so to emergency watch but usually an alert from a camera system will alert if you're acting out of character. And it's then observed by a psychologist type of person to analyze. But it will pop up on the screen for suicide prevention or watch.

There's also hidden buttons in your room and they do random things like what happened to Alex Laughlin and will flood your room full of water to be a swimming pool and other random fun. There is terror. Its a Fun House. Halloween style. But it's all safe. For the most part.

When guards go in or your room fills with water or the walls move, your room doors of steel will slide shut and lock. For the water a rubber seal forms. Its electronic and already inside the door. It just expands. You can also, have a window appear if you have more than one person and a "skinny" person can climb through IF they have slim shoulders and they put one arm through the open window, put it above them on the steel door Then slide the other shoulder through.

Alex Laughlin is about the maximum size of person. Its meant for younger children mainly, like if they want the pool and the parent goes and starts it up to be sure it's the correct button. Then the kid can go through to swim. But anyone can go if they fit.

The window only opens on The additional room side to prevent guards from gaining access. And there is a lock for it. So if you decide to smoke in your additional room and it's locked for some reason it will automatically open if it detects smoke.

Otherwise leave your main door open so that you can allow smoke out. But you may request smoking furniture. Which is outdoor living and you may furnish your cell with furniture, a map with the perfect layout is given.

Due to the room walls moving the guide tells you the markers where the indication is where the walls and such move so you dont want to place your furniture there. You'll have to repair it or at least attempt to with duct tape before i replace it with something less comfy but more hardy.

You'll get a wicker rocker chair and love seat and love seat and chair which do not rock. Its two chairs per person. One love seat per 4 people.

So you alone will get all 4 pieces and no additional until your people come and you ask. By giving the guard something (i would place my furniture perfectly as indicated in the model and then place the furniture guide in the top basket.)

Most of yall don't have tables for dinner.

Look for a light when your food arrives. Push it.

All the buttons look like those.

So, now you can request labels. For the buttons. Find the intercom "i need to know what this button specifically does"

Jesse is a jail house snitch. Because he's a dummy and spent 4 weeks in prison freezing and being miserable when he had all these privileges. So he will get extra things. Sophia will as well. Only because she's my daughter.

So they can tell you what they got and what they did before.

Tricks happen. So they may explore and do stuff which doesn't usually receive anything and they will get something that they would receive if like they gave the guard an unwrapped unaltered muffin. So they may tell you all about it but youll never know.

Like today Jesse got a book just because this week he's lost phone time. And was nice about it. Extra nice. So he got a book today because he finished his other and he has been getting them for a few days.

Another toilet paper quest is if you're lonely you can get only one perfect square and put like a bean on it and that means you're asking the guard if he likes beans. So they will either respond in voice or write on the toilet paper yes or no.

I get curious about people. I wonder what they like. Doesn't mean anything other than I'm curious.

So they know while you ask a lot you may just be bored or lonely. So they respond with empathy or pity or simply because I pay them to.

Each person has 4 guards per day plus food specialist and random item specialist so you may want to keep your spoon and put like 10 peas on it so you can ask each one. So you put out each toilet square that you spared (Elaine on Seinfeld, have you seen that episode? She had no toilet paper in her stall in the public bathroom. And the girl next to her refused to assist her and she said "a square?!?! You can't spare a square?!?!") Then they all answer, using different colors or type of writing utensil if possible. Then they assign themselves that color and pen and they will always respond the same color. So it's a guessing game as to who.

So if it's food m they may writet "bean" and throw the bean away or use a different paper or fresh square and write "bean" & their response. They can write anything they want. Give a business card and write "bean" and yes or no and give that in the top basket remember ask in the bottom for messy things like food. Otherwise they will have to wash the top.

Now in the front cell door for example. One dude threw his laundry out without folding it. So the guard said get it and fold it. And some had fell to the floor.

So there is a button the guard has to push and hold on his side. Then other the prisoner had to push a button and the middle door opened so he could put his full top half of his body out to get his laundry,that fell. Then the guard closes the expansion.

You have door bells.

And those with tunnels m there's a door bell for your neighbor. So you can push it then it rings at the neighbor. Then your button is lit and says "wait" then on your neighbor it says "open"

So the neighbor pushes the open button. Both buttons say "close" then, the doors for now only remain open for 10 minutes then close. If you go to your neighbors then you will get a guard swat.

Because these are prison escape only tunnels you must go DOWN and not up. Or you'll have an alarm go off to alert you must escape NOW or the SWAT will go in and whip you like a baby and you'll get baby food for the next ten days since youre not adult enough to live alone. And escape proper.

Stay out of each other's rooms!!! You're in prison!!!!

It ain't the Hyatt Recency, son!

You can however have on hour in each other's tunnels. Then you'll get an action quest request.

So then it's like a game. You can request swat to chase you. It means you're inviting the guards in to see your creations.

But you have to hide and be all "surprise!" And THIS IS THE ONLY TIME that bribes work.

Which is why you want to know what they like.

Otherwise it's baby food instead of Lava Lamps.

You may get Tim. Sam and Ralph instead of people you know. So you say "this is for pink pen" or however you know them.

God and Coronavirus

Where is God in this Coronavirus crisis? The answer of liberal Christians, that God is in the midst of our suffering, is not sufficient to assuage our concerns and doubts. God was manifestly not in the midst of Jesus’ suffering on Calvary because He cried out, ‘My God. My God, why have you forsaken me?’ God may well have been present in the foreboding elemental happenings which occurred at the time of Jesus’ death: a darkened sky, an earthquake, the disruption of graves.

It is not the whole story to say that God is accompanying us in our struggles, losses and deprivations. Theologians have wrestled with the issue of evil in the world for millennia. If the Coronavirus is disregarded as a judgement of God on humanity, there is still the issue of why a supposedly good Creator allows humanity to suffer so. We know how the Coronavirus began and how it spread. Bats. A Chinese ‘wet’ seafood market with live and dead animals including marmots and snakes for sale illegally. Transmission of Coronavirus from bats via animals to stallholders. Communist totalitarian denial. Travelling Chinese and hence to humanity.

Who is asking the God question? People in the United Kingdom have largely given up on God, abandoned Christianity and have made Jesus Christ into their second favourite swear word. Political expediency from the Blair years has manufactured a supposed equality of ‘religions’. Christianity is diminished, reduced in status and relegated to second or third reference in television news bulletins behind humanism and Islam.

There is virtually no prophetic Christianity alive in these islands and none that would be regarded with any respect. Stories of some American preachers saying that such pandemics are God’s punishment for human sins are met with contempt and incredulity. According to Christian theology, Jesus is our Saviour. Saviour from what? Our sins. We no longer think of our behaviour as sinful because we do not consider our behaviour in relation to God.

The Bible offers uncompromising insight into the relationship between human wrongdoing and misfortune. In 2 Samuel 24 we read that the Lord was angry with Israel and incited King David (ruled 1010 to 970 BC) to order a census. Joab, the captain of the army disagreed and said the census would bring judgement. David pressed ahead. A plague then broke out among the people. Was it caused by the unnatural gatherings of people? Did they not observe safe distancing? The text says ‘the Lord sent a plague on Israel’. David then realised that he was to blame and set about making public repentance and sacrifice. He uttered one of the greatest truths of the human-God relationship. ‘I will not sacrifice to the Lord my God offerings that cost me nothing’. The text then says, ‘Then the Lord answered his prayer on behalf of the land, and the plague on Israel was stopped’.

At that time people believed that God was the first cause of everything that happened, both good and bad. This was because they shared in the Covenant with God established on Mount Sinai with Moses. There was immediacy in their relationship. David’s personal relationship with God is perhaps best expressed in Psalm 51, regarded as the greatest penitential Psalm. ‘Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions. Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin’.

The New Covenant in Jesus Christ offered immediacy with God to all humanity over the centuries of the Christian dispensation. Beginning in the European middle ages that understanding began to be replaced with distancing. Scientific observation became the interlocutor. This brought about the separation of first and second causes. However, devout and practising Christians still claim to experience God at first hand and relate to God personally and intimately.

One Christian position on the Coronavirus is that it is an evil visited on humanity by primitive unhygienic food practices in the context of the Chinese totalitarian political regime which initially denied its existence. Another Christian interpretation is that this is the work of an intelligent cosmic enemy of God and of humanity, sometimes called Satan. We have lost the immediacy of relationship with God that allows us to cry out collectively and nationally for deliverance. We do not put the blame on the Queen or the Prime Minister for our misfortune and we do not expect either of them to be the means of overcoming this pandemic. We trust in science to suggest a strategy and then find a cure. We are unlikely to re-establish immediate relationship with God. We might take the opportunity to revalue what we live for and ask if our free and easy lifestyles are best practice. We have abandoned Judaeo-Christian teaching on personal ethics, the Ten Commandments, the Sermon on the Mount. The Scottish National Party is riven by a debate on whether transgender men identifying as women should be allowed to use female toilets. As Wilfred Owen, the first world war poet asked, ‘Was it for this the clay grew tall?’

Had we in the liberal secular west become over-confident, complacent and far too trusting in many announcements of DNA manipulated solutions to diseases? Were we subconsciously thinking that we were immune from any future global pandemic? It did not even cross our minds. Some scientists warned but politicians did not respond pro-actively. The public knew little of it. We had become obsessed with the planet. We castigated ourselves for its condition and some advocated immediate draconian solutions. It was all about us. We did it. We should sort it. Coronavirus has taught us a severe lesson. We are not as much in charge as we thought. We are not as immune as we thought we were. We have become frightened and insecure. Panic and anxiety abound.

People are dying. Yet the numbers are comparatively small in relation to overall national and global populations; small too, in relation to previous similar pandemics. There is an additional paradox. There were 192,900 abortions for women resident in England and Wales in 2017 and 197,533 abortions including non-residents. This is an increase of 4% since 2016, the highest level since 2008. In Scotland there were 12,212 terminations in 2017, a rise of 1% on the previous year. Not only is there no outcry about such destruction of life but it is the law of the land. Yet for fear of the Coronavirus the country has ground to a halt, the population is under house arrest, the economy has been trashed and people are being impoverished. So far just over 18,100 have died in the UK. This is a very large hypocrisy. [at 2:00 a.m. 23/04/20]

Pity political leaders who have to try to do the right thing, and to be seen to do so else retribution will be visited on them, electorally and historically. Reliance on experts is their fig leaf of respectability. None have any alternative strategy or mode of operation. No political leader has invoked God’s name and help. Christian leaders have been woefully weak and circumspect. There has been no Christian challenge to our values, lifestyles and idolatries. In the face of this menace what many live for is exposed as shallow and absurd; football, entertainment, pub life, buying things in shops and online, holidays, pursuit of money, the illusions of happiness. Debt has been allowed to multiply at macro and micro level and has become an accepted way of life. Poverty relative to visible wealth bounds.

Good neighbourliness is essential to survival and recovery. That we know, whether Christian or not. But may there be more to it than that? Can we appeal to our Maker and Creator for help? Can we imagine taking this all-consuming problem to Jesus Christ, who Christians claim has Lordship over everything seen and unseen? After all, Jesus healed the sick. On earth He had authority in the dimension unseen by the human naked eye where viruses proliferate. The Sacraments of the Christian Church are means of healing for the inner soul and mind and body. They have been thought dispensable. In fact, they are part of our cure.

We are not allowed to congregate in churches to worship and pray. We understand. But this is also a denial of the Christian claim that the primary purpose of our existence is to relate to God. For our own good. So far have we strayed from that defining role, that we think we can relegate God to become only in our estimation a tangential, ghettoised, patronised option. The chilling words of the prophet Isaiah, chapter 59 are relevant. ‘Surely the arm of the Lord is not too short to save, nor his ear too dull to hear. But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear’.

Christians throughout the world are praying for deliverance from this scourge. We are praying for health care workers and front-line staff. We as a nation are not doing so however, and we are making no connection between our collective lifestyles, values, the loss of our Christian inheritance and this pandemic. There is no sense of confession or repentance. These are not secular categories. We expect to carry on as we were until a vaccine is found.

The basic premise of Christianity is resurrection and eternal life. For Christians, physical death is not the end. This is no bedtime fairy story. We are the pioneers of eternal life through Jesus Christ’s resurrection. But His incarnation gives supreme value to our life and living here. His death on Calvary redeems us. We are forgiven. Will Jesus Christ be brought again to the centre of our national life? Will there be services of thanksgiving? Will there be a new moderation of life and living? Will we learn anything? Beyond the scientific scramble for a vaccine and a Nobel prize, everyone needs to do more than self-isolate. Jesus’ answer is, ‘I am the resurrection and the life’. Political leaders of the world, take note.

Would Jesus say, #metoo? #metoo proponents need a fresh understanding of what love and forgiveness really look like. And Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” And they cast lots to divide his garments. Luke 23:34 (ESV) I’m a holiness preacher. I am feverish in my pursuit of revival that will be marked by purity in the church and mass, glorious repentance in the nation. As is true with many of today’s prophetic messengers, there’s an urgency in my spirit that can’t be shaken. We must see a move of God that both initiates and is a response to tears and mourning over the state of the church and the debauchery of our nation. The egregious moral condition of America and the entire world is sickening beyond description. Recent news reveals the grotesque and depraved state of our culture. For example, an abortion doctor recently boasted about her method of murder that ensures baby’s cries can’t be heard: On Sunday, Leah Torres, a Utah abortionist who is active on Twitter, responded with gruesome detail to someone criticizing her work. When someone asked Torres if she hears the screams of the babies who she aborts, she replied: You know fetuses can’t scream, right? I transect the cord 1st so there’s really no opportunity, if they’re even far enough along to have a larynx. I won’t apologize for performing medicine. I’m also a “uterus ripper outer,” if that’s how you’d like to describe hysterectomy. https://t.co/lng0W3ta5J — Leah Torres, MD (@LeahNTorres) March 11, 2018 (From lifenews.com: http://ift.tt/2IseGDH) Just today, a suspected mail bomber in the Austin, Texas area died as one of his bombs detonated as police were closing in. Of course, we have recent mass shootings and other heinous assaults that are becoming normal. Hollywood movies are becoming more vile. Pornography is rampant even in the church. The status of our nation is nothing less than depraved and desperate. #metoo Jesus Christ was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification. Romans 4:25 Jesus died so we might have life. He died so others might have life. He died so our very dark sins would not keep us from a relationship with him. He died so other people’s sins, including the sins of murder, abuse and hatred, would not keep them from a relationship with him. When I watch crime stories or hear news reports about the trials and convictions of murderers, rapists, abusers and others who have committed absolutely horrifying crimes against humanity, I find myself especially grieved when something specific happens. Time and again, I hear the family members and friends of those who were the target of the various crimes say, “I’ll never forgive him.” Those words wreck me. They are sealing their fate, a fate of darkness and despair that will never be escaped without true forgiveness. For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. Matthew 6:14-15 (ESV) Those who have been abused or who have been affected by the hateful crimes of others most certainly are scarred deeply, beyond what words could ever describe. I’m a father of five and the husband of a wonderful, beautiful wife. If anything ever happened to them at the hands of another, I would experience a range of emotions that would rock me. Anger, despair, fear and other responses would be expected. But, as a Christian, forgiveness and love for the perpetrator must follow. I must shift from accuser to intercessor so both he and I are free, forgiven and healed. Forgive us the wrongs we have done, as we forgive the wrongs that others have done to us. (Matthew 6:12) A common violation of truth occurs when we presume our sins worthy of forgiveness while the sins of others must result in punishment. The true condition of our heart is revealed as we accuse. Forgiveness isn’t easy, but it’s mandatory. Even though forgiveness is potent, we can’t always expect a perfect resolution to immediately follow. Restitution may not occur. Forgiveness isn’t about us, it’s about setting free those who have wounded us. Jesus could have screamed #metoo and demanded justice. Instead, he shouted #iforgive, as people continued to abuse and humiliate him by casting lots for his clothes. His forgiveness didn’t move them, but it moved Heaven and rocked the planet. And behold, the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. And the earth shook, and the rocks were split. Matthew 27:51 (ESV) Forgiveness will set the abuser in place for freedom should they accept it. Forgiveness will set the abused up for healing. True love does just that. It heals and sets free. I am so blessed by the courage and true love exhibited by a true victim–Rachael Denhollander, who, instead of shouting #metoo declared #iforgive: A former gymnast is offering forgiveness for the unspeakable crimes Larry Nassar has been convicted of – and she’s being recognized by the media for it. “Should you ever reach the point of truly facing what you have done, the guilt will be crushing. And that is what makes the gospel of Christ so sweet. Because it extends grace and hope and mercy where none should be found. And it will be there for you. I pray you experience the soul-crushing weight of guilt so you may someday experience true repentance and true forgiveness from God, which you need far more than forgiveness from me — though I extend that to you as well.” (From lifenews.com: http://ift.tt/2EcYt3m) Don’t misunderstand me. We need the dark side of our culture exposed. The evil in Hollywood and throughout the fabric of our nation is so vile that most of us would be shocked if we saw it in fullness. Everything from sex trafficking to the porn industry to immorality in movies that fill our theaters to drugs, addiction, murder, abortion and so much more is destroying millions of people. That darkness must be exposed and those who are perpetuating it must be held accountable. Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them. For it is shameful even to speak of the things that they do in secret. But when anything is exposed by the light, it becomes visible, for anything that becomes visible is light. Therefore it says, “Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.” Ephesians 5:11-14 (ESV) Part of the response that the guilty must offer is legitimate repentance. If porn industry leaders, sex traffickers, Hollywood moguls who are abusing women (and men), drug traffickers and others would openly repent and surrender to Jesus, I think the earth would shift off its axis! This must be what drives our intercession, not retribution! #iforgive …bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. Colossians 3:13 (NKJV) As we have been forgiven, we must forgive. We pay it forward. Our declaration must be #iforgive. The heart of the #metoo movement is vengeance. It’s not driven by a heart of love and forgiveness, but on the contrary, one of anger and hatred. The question is simple: Will you forgive those who have abused you? Will you love them? Will you truly decree #iforgive just as you, as a child of God, have been forgiven? Can you imagine the shockwaves that would have resulted if Harvey Weinstein’s victims looked him in the eyes and said, I forgive you. God loves you. I don’t want you to be tormented because of what you did to me. I don’t want you to experience shame. I want you to know the love of Jesus. Wow! Imagine the Oscar speeches and news reports that would have followed! What if the #metoo movement truly was an #iforgive movement! The spirit of vengeance and hatred that is rising up in our nation as a result of a very real darkness being uncovered is also deeply evil. Yes, we must stand firm for holiness. We absolutely must see corruption and crimes and assaults against innocent people exposed. Yes, for those who have committed crimes, there is a very real price to pay. Yes, those who are a danger to others must be apprehended. The darkness must be uncovered. There is no question about it. What we must ask is, how will we respond to those who are exposed? Will we heap up hatred and vengeance upon them? Will we say, “I will never forgive you.” Will we shame them? Or, will we do as Rachael Denhollander did and extend forgiveness? Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God in Christ forgave you. Ephesians 4:31-32 (NKJV) Isaiah 1 Isaiah reveals a powerful strategy: When you spread out your hands, I will hide My eyes from you; Even though you make many prayers, I will not hear. Your hands are full of blood. “Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; Put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes. Cease to do evil, Learn to do good; Seek justice, Rebuke the oppressor; Defend the fatherless, Plead for the widow. “Come now, and let us reason together,” Says the LORD, “Though your sins are like scarlet, They shall be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They shall be as wool. Isaiah 1:15-18 (NKJV) God is ready to cleanse all who repent. For both those who abuse and those who refuse to forgive, God is revealing the blood on their hands. When we are clean, we most certainly can seek justice. We can trust God to expose the darkness and judge right versus wrong. We will rebuke oppressors and intercede for the weak, the fatherless, the widows—and I guarantee many of those who sexually abuse others are fatherless. The cry of our heart must be not only for our sins to be washed away, but for the sins of those who oppress us to be as white as snow. Our cry must not only be for justice but for mercy. …In wrath remember mercy. Habakkuk 3:2 (NKJV) Will we be #metoo accusers or #iforgive intercessors? Our heart should follow the heart of God: “Their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.” Hebrews 10:17 (NKJV) For those who have been abused, my heart is broken for you. I am so sorry you had to endure that. My belief is your healing will rapidly come as you forgive. Forgiving doesn’t mean you minimize the pain or what has occurred. It simply means you make a decision to set the abuser free. You learn to love them and desire for them to know Jesus intimately. You let them know Heaven won’t be the same without them. You can’t fathom the thought of them being tormented forever in Hell. You become their greatest intercessor. You simply do what Jesus did. Instead of focusing on himself by saying #metoo he focused on those who were killing him. He loved them in the midst of the assault. He said, #iforgive. “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” Luke 23:34 (ESV)
