The Lordship of Christ
Просмотров 597 месяцев назад
When we accept Jesus as our savior, we must also recognize Him as our Lord. The Lordship of Christ is not a trivial thing that we can accept or reject, rather it's essential to establishing the right foundation in our Christian life. Christ is our Lord whether we recognize this or not, but knowing this will give us the right direction for our Christian life.

Spot on !! Thank you
Thank you for your kind words, may the Lord bless and keep you.
Great stuff, Christian Journey... one tiny tip: Aaron's grandson, who speared the Israelite prince AND his Moabite consort with a single spear thrust, is pronounced Finn-Eass (at least other guys I've heard mention him!). Great Psalm 139 reference too.
Good to hear from you Brett, thank you so much for your kind words. Lord bless you and your family.
A problem I see with the "Christian community" especially in the West, is they have been taught for several generations incorrect eschatology by people who genuinely believe the Bible teaches the heaven is a destination to be arrived at after we die or are raptured off the earth before it is destroyed by fire. Because they believe Satan is the ruler of this world, not Jesus Christ. Taught incorrect theology by people who began their pastoral "vocation" who received incorrect instructions from the beginning about the Kingdom which is now-in the Spirit, awaiting the Kingdom that is to come. Not everyone, but the majority. Carrying their C.I. Scofield Bible, misinterpreting the genres being used to fit an evangelical, futuristic perspective of the revelation of Jesus Christ within us and among us. Just like how the Kingdom has come, will come, and is going to come for all those who believe. God with us. Luke 17:20-21
Yes sentinaludo, I just saw your comment. Yes unfortunately Schofield Bible has had a big inroads in American Churches. Good to hear from you.
The organizers of the olympic games in France have gone out of their way to offend and disappoint millions of sports fans world wide. Satan would approve of such debasement.
Absolutely
Thank you for the great insights.
Hi Sentinaludo; it’s been a while that I’ve heard from you. Thank you for your kind comment and support Lord bless you.
Thank you David. As always, great Christian teaching for all who have ears to hear from Heaven and what God is saying to us.
Thank you so much for your continued support and encouragement Sentinal. Lord bless you and your family.
Part of a problem I see with people wanting to choose to follow Christ and accept Him as their King is an almost complete seperation or denial of the existence of the spirit in the lives of EVERYONE. Thanks to post enlightenment scientific knowledge, there is a growing % of people that don't believe is the realm of the spirit or eternal life. So why would they need to believe in this Jesus guy. I think it's part of a cycle of life on earth that has many contributing factors to it. The challenge of the church, is to make it relevant to the lives of everyday people
Hi Sentinaludo; it’s good to hear from you again. It’s true unfortunately we live in times that most people at least in country do not acknowledge the spiritual realm. But who knows what future has in store. Again look forward to hear from you soon. Lord bless you and your family.
@@achristianjourney5768 @achristianjourney5768 I think the spirit tells us through the stories in scripture what is going to happen. A partial or massive culling or reaping of souls off of this planet to humble humanity and their Luceferian pride in this tower of Babel culture we are living in. But not a hair on our heads will be harmed. It will be in the twinkling of the eye. "Just as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the days of the coming of the son of man". Most Christian teachers in the west will emphatically preach that you WANT to be taken. It's called the "Rapture". Problem is, in the days of Noah, those who were taken were taken to judgement. A similar thing is going to happen again to rid the world of those that destroy and pervert Gods temple. 1 Cor 3:17. But you cannot get these leaders to break out of this escapist, dogmatic belief that you WANT to be raptured and taken off this planet and go to a destination called heaven. "This world is not our home", they cry from the pulpits as they convince the naive and ignorant to follow their malformed conception of Gods Kingdom. For some living in the realm of the spirit, this is a slap in the face by those trying to claim that somehow what Jesus did in His ministry, death, and resurrection did not fulfill all things for the true believer. This is not going to end well for those teachers when God brings truth to the end of this cycle of time we are in right now. Most of those minds cannot even conceive of going to sleep one night and waking up in a completely different world. Heaven and earth are never meant to be separated, but post-modern thinking and the scientific revolution have convinced many to surrender the power of God that we have through Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit to change reality. No, no, no. It has to include this convoluted eschatology of theological gymnastics because they got a degree from a seminary college, and this may be where the problem began. I lean towards believing that there has been such a long duration of Christian teaching, since that latest man made creation of a hermeneutics called dispensationalism in the 1840's +/-, that it has distorted the grand narrative of scripture. This incorrect method of interpretation also will end with the revelation of Jesus Christ to them, and eternal life for those who "enter in through the true Gate and find protection from the things that are coming upon the material world". The transition of life in the flesh solely, to life in the flesh and in the spirit concurrently in the Kingdom of Heaven while we walk upon the earth. The Christian church has been led by spiritual morons, and I choose that word purposely, look up the definition. But it may not be accidental, in fact it may be intentional because it is done in the spiritual realm where forces and principalities are at work that influence life in this dimension of existence. They are not mentally retarded, in fact, many are quite intelligent. Rather they are spiritually retarded, stuck in a flannel graph explanation they learned in Sunday school that was meant to expose young new souls to living and walking in the spirit concurrently. Teaching of the work of the Cross and how Jesus is the "THURA" (Greek word used in John 10:9). A "gate" or "portal", a passageway out of this world with the destruction that it brings to those who are enslaved by it and into the unbelievable new life Christ brings in His eternal Kingdom called Heaven. THIS IS eternal life now! Unfortunately, too many Pharisees and Sadducees today are content to remain in Egypt serving the Pharaoh with their "self perceived" sense of authority doing the "work of God". Once a belief is inculcated into a soul at a very young and impressionable age, and the mind continues to believe and develop that limited perspective or definition of Gods Kingdom and our place in it as followers of The Christ, they are trapped in the spirit. It is like erecting a cage around your soul to prevent it from developing into the Spirit God has intended for all those who are called according to His purpose. To be co-rulers with Christ and co-heirs to the promises of God. Remaining bound to the trapped, lower spirits of creation until physical death ends this life for them. Preventing the sons and daughters of God from walking in the reality and belief that we ARE walking in the Kingdom that is now, towards the New Jerusalem and the Kingdom that is to come. Maturing as spiritual beings in Gods kingdom, going back to a type of Eden. How long will that be? Who knows, only God knows, but it is our responsibility to follow Christ until this becomes our reality. Far too many people rely upon and are bound by their 5 material sense organs. Forgetting the mind, relinquishing control to the spirits of society and culture, abandoning hope for today for the promise of a better tomorrow. These beings should be scared, the 4 horseman are obviously surrounding their spirit.
Good to hear from you again. I agree for Bible believing Christians, we are to study the scriptures and ask God to reveal His Kingdom and His truth to us and help us to understand how we fit in and use the talents He has given us to help the Body of Christ. And our understanding changes as we mature in our walk, or it should. Reality is, we still have some preachers teaching the same flannel graph stories of creation and the end they learned in 2nd grade, holding on to a very narrow perspective of Gods eternal Kingdom that is inhabited with elohims and is beyond time as we understand it, claiming authority from God. This is definitely a sign of the times and a part of the cycle. There is nothing new under the sun. One of the big problems you didn't mention I see lies in that the Western church, and the leaders that teach the majority belief system of what Christianity is today as to how the revelation of Jesus Christ is to the world and to the individual. They have been indoctrinated into a PERSPECTIVE and a principle of hermeneutics to interpret scripture to fit into a SYSTEM of theology, rather than an unveiling of what is hidden, a Revelation of the unseen influences in the world and in people to reveal The Christ in you and in me. To walk in that person and that power to bring forth the Kingdom of heaven from within or bring down the Kingdom of heaven to earth. "Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on Earth as it is in heaven. That is the overarching story of scripture, of heaven coming down to us, God coming to dwell with us in the person of Jesus Christ. God incarnated as man on earth. Emmanuel-God with us. Not us going up to God. Heaven is not a destination, it is a state of being. And Jesus is the gate into this state. In John 10:9 Jesus said, "I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture". This pasture does materialize in the material realm, but chaos and the death also materializes out of the spiritual realm into the material. People have an incorrect perception of death, and yes, it will come to us all physically. To some it already once has. I knew a young man once, who was involved in a great tribulation and a separation of the spirit from his body. I am a first hand eyewitness of this. I didn't read this in a book and try to interpret what I read, influenced by forces and powers I had no comprehension of. This young man was seat belted in the front seat of his 67 Camaro that had hit a parked car at 80 MPH. His skull had been cracked open and there was a 7 inch long slit that exposed his brain. The left side of his body was tore open with blood pouring out from armpit to hip. The rib cage was crushed from the steering wheel, unknown internal injuries, both clavicles broken, and tongue bitten off as he lay lifeless in the drivers seat. My friend Aaron S. was also an eyewitness to this event and testified to me of what he saw before his untimely death. I cannot explain how he still walks among us today, but he does, because of the resurrecting, healing power of Jesus Christ. In John 11:25, Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?” Unfortunately, I tend to believe most people today, including pastors and teachers, do not believe this because they are driven and/or manipulated by fear. It is like a Hallmark card for them that brings comfort to a life filled with challenges and struggles. Because they have been deceived into believing a lie from the enemy. And heaven forbid should they come to a point after 50 years of preaching a temporary gospel they realize there is more to understand about Gods word and apologize for acting like they knew what they were talking about. And as convincing as these teachers are speaking the word of God, because the word of God does have Power unto eternal life, they still have a Pharisee type spirit in them that is insecure and proud, and it doesn't matter who speaks it, these people will die believing a partial truth. (I mention they and majority because I know not everyone is asleep or of this Pharisee type spirit) Ignorant teachers are stuck into a morphed version of a John Nelson Darby's dispensationalism and poorly understood eschatology of the end of the age, or the renewal of all things as God has promised. They incorrectly deconstruct the book of Revelation and apply it literally to our time. Like most people with this type of spirit have since Christs death and resurrection. Using passages like Daniel and the 70 weeks to "Prove" the antichrist is coming at a future time to usher in the end of this world and age. Claiming the 70th week hasn't been fulfilled yet, and that the things that are happening today "Prove" that we are in the 70th week. That the 70th week talks of the antichrist rather than The Christ. A 70 week prophecy (70 weeks of years) should be fulfilled in 70 weeks (of years) if it is to be a prophecy from the One True God to be a prophecy from God. Not 69 then an undetermined stretch of time before the 70th week. Bible expositors and many who chose ministry as a vocation love to preach this apocalyptic cataclysm of eternal damnation for those left behind who reject Jesus Christ after the manufactured doctrine called the "Rapture of the Church" saves them and the distinct and separate group of people known as the Church. It keeps buts in the seats and money coming into pay salaries from those folk who either don't feel the need to really understand what the Bible teaches for themselves or are captured souls looking for help and guidance from what can be an uncertain time in which we live. But have comfort, "I have overcome the world". I apologize if I come across as blunt, and a little bit aggressive in my perspective, but some things in life you cannot unsee. I am not going to let go unchecked these younger souls that are wandering and trying to guide the naive or ignorant. This contributes to why the church influence is waning, but it is not terminal. I believe the best days are yet to come, despite the fact we are going to see a reaping of souls off of this planet unlike has ever been before, nor will there be again. It is an exciting time to be alive, and we are to go out and spread the good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ before it is to late for the unbelievers. The 4 horseman are and have been reaping in the realm of the spirit since the rebellion in the heavens, and I think there are going to be a bunch of teachers who are going to be quite embarrassed at the box they tried to put God in during this material life.
thanks for your respond, talk to you soon.
Good word brother, thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much for this video, David. Wise and thoughtful commentary from you, as usual. God's peace, brother.
Thank you so much Mark, it’s good to hear from you. Hope all is well with you and your family. Lord bless you and hope to hear from you soon.
"If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise." Galatians 3:29.
thank you for your comment, Lord Bless and keep you.
Also, I'm reminded of the narrative of 1 Sam 30; David, when realizing his town has been ravaged and his family has been kidnapped, doesn't start begging for a cease-fire and an end to the hostilities; David slaughters them, even though we can imply that no Israelite loss of life occurred (vs. 19). There are close to 150 Israelis held captive in Gaza right now, with great loss of life. Do you think it Christian or a sound application of the New Testament not to follow David's example before considering a cease-fire?
Much to think about, David; I am curious: what Christian groups are calling for a Palestinian massacre? I don't think I've even heard Jewish groups call for the indiscriminate butchering of Palestinian women and children. Surely you don't think Israel can tolerate Hamas as the official government of Gaza any longer?
Hi Brett; it's good to hear from you. I don't think i mentioned Christian groups wanting to massacre Palestinians but the point is that there are red flags as to why Israel did not stop this attack from the beginning. was this a wag-the-dog scenario to garner support and sympathy for what is to come which we will see in the future. but the Evangelical Community in general is very much pro-Israel which is fine as long as we also be on the side of justice as well. if you simply go on RUclips you see most of the videos are highly sympathetic to Israel. it's both theological as well as what we have seen on TV. but the point is that we should want to promote peace for the sake of both parties. this conflict is just beginning who knows what it will come to, there are already voices associating Iran with the Hamas and with all the politicians calling for payback. example (Nikki Hailey, Lindsey Graham, and others) just in the same way the politicians were calling for blood because of the Twin Towers and later weapons of mass destruction In Iraq. What did the Evangelical community do, we created an Islamic Antichrist, Ezekial's 38 &39 are not Russians but the Islamic states and all the things that the Lord has told the people. all because of manufactured narrative. there were no weapons of mass destruction. what was the justification for going to war with Iraq? Could the same thing be happening now? ask yourself the question of what would be a just response from Israel? this is the question. you also mentioned the narrative of 1Sam 30 as an example. I hold to the view that historical narrative, or the actions of individuals need to be interpreted in light of the teaching portion of the Bible. David’s action should be evaluated in light of New Testament teachings to see whether it was right or wrong. I do not think the action of David is an example for us to follow, but rather what the New Testament teaches. these narratives are recorded facts and we have the liberty to follow their example if it lines up with the teaching portion of the Bible. so I don't think this is an example for us to follow. you mentioned that 150 Israelis are being held captive which is a tragedy. and if heaven forbid they get killed what do you think is a just retribution? Should Israel kill 1000 Palestinians? how about 1500? you see one of the principles of "just wars" which I do espouse is the concept of just retribution. if an enemy kills 1000 of your citizens you in turn should inflict the same general number on your enemy. i make a distinction between the role of Government and the role of individuals. Governments should seek justice, but individuals especially Christians should seek peace and go the extra mile to seek peace. if we behave the same way as a secular person then what is the difference between a Christian and non-Christian? we would be both reacting the same way. just sharing some thoughts. it's always good to hear from you. see you and talk to you soon. Lord Bless.
This is only an account of what I see in the spirit right now. Thank you David for your steadfast commitment to put yourself out there and speak from the Kingdom that is now, that is, in the spirit. It is not the people, it is the spirit. I think there are addled minds of this world that are inhabited by the darker spiritual forces in the heavenly realms that have ensconced themselves firmly into positions of "assumed power" and "assumed authority" in the governments of most of the world today. And they use these positions to control the population and socially engineer society according into a corrupted version of what God intends for His human family on this earth. This leads to the inevitable end of mans quest to want to be God. Similar to the Tower of Babel. It has happened many times in the past. And we can go there in the spirit through the scriptures to see these times. Most of the Western Church, is inculcated with "systems" of theology that I think have enabled many people to become leaders who believe they are completely right with their view, and are perpetuating a narrow vision of Gods redemptive work through Jesus Christ. Most recently and influential is the John Darby/C.I.Scofield escapism of dispensationalism and rapture eschatology, that has rendered most of the body of Christ, impotent against the spiritual powers of darkness on this earth today. Unable to enter in through The Gate, John 10:9, these Christians keep looking through a distorted lens of interpretation. Sure we go and build houses for people to show our "works", and continue to increase the size of the buildings and business of the "Church", but what is happening right now in the spiritual realm? What is the spiritual depth of most of the congregation? Most Christians have been taught and are convinced the church is going to be taken off the planet when Jesus comes back and the earth will be destroyed. And this will most likely happen very soon they say. "This world is not my home" is a classic John Darby perspective. A Platonic view of life. That heaven is a destination only after this life. Two separate worlds or states of existence. This is a very recent ideology (since around 1840+/-) that partly ascribes the 70th week of Daniel to an indeterminate future coming anti-Christ and Great Tribulation and the prophecy at the end of Daniel 9 to the anti-Christ, rather than to THE CHRIST. To the destruction of the world rather than the establishment of the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. And most Christians will sit back and believe this incorrect interpretation spoken by their pastor because, well, in my opinion they are deceived. It has to do with the spirit within as to how they interpret this passage. The Temple in ancient Israel WAS where heaven and earth met, it WAS where God dwelled. And as Jesus prophesied, it was destroyed in 70AD and that world conceptualization of where heaven and earth met and God dwelled, melted away with fervent heat. An unbinding of the mind in an obsolete system of atonement with God. To establish a new, and better covenant with the blood of Jesus Christ. But not for everybody accepted this, and still, we have Pharisees among us in the Christian church's pounding their fist on the pulpit to try and project authority, clinging on to their vocation, propagating a futurist misunderstanding of Gods Kingdom coming into the world as this old world passes away. Some just keep looking back like Lots wife. And this is where those who are called, and their disposition so drives them, can enter through THE GATE, and go before our heavenly Father to bring our supplications, prayers and requests to Him. I pray to go out with Michael and destroy these anti-Christ spirits within me and upon the earth. And in my dreams, this happens regularly. It is the "Transition of the Ages" we are witnessing and living through and encouraged to be a part of. Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Beware of the military industrial complex Eisenhower warned, and we should be. There are still many people who question the narrative of 9/11, and when the wheels of the institutions and functions of the government start to come off, war is the ultimate distraction to instill fear and compliance from what in most of the world is a feeble and sick population. To distract the people from the revelations of the corruption of the sick perverts who are in power. Unable to think beyond this 3 dimensional realm of existence. Consumed with hubris, materialism and ignorance. Distracting themselves with sports and entertainment. This is not all Christians, but I suspect it is a majority. Judgement is coming for these spirits, and I believe we are going to see a bunch of people transitioning out of the world in which the true followers of Christ walk. Separating the wheat from the chaff. Just as it was in the days of Noah! And you do not want to be taken. (Another lie from the enemy)
Hi Sentinaludo; thank you so much for your comment. As usual a lot to think about. it will be interesting to see what the future has in store. some people speculate that this could be the trigger to a major conflict in the Middle East. we have to wait and see. My point in this video is for us not to get seduced by the narrative that we see and hear and wait and see what will happen in the future. in the meanwhile not allow hatred in our hearts and try to respond in a Christ-like manner. you make some excellent points in regard to the condition of our Churches. it is sad where we are. just keep growing, think for yourself, and above all be committed to following Christ. May the Lord bless you and your family.
Thanks so much for this video, David, your thoughts, your perspective, and your reminder to view this situation with a New Testament lens. Would love to hear your thoughts on what you think the role of Israel/Jerusalem will be in the end times.
Thank you so much for your kind words, Lord willing I want to talk about prophecy in the future, but it will be from a different perspective than what we commonly hear. So lord willing we will visit the subject. But thanks again for your kind comment.❤
Thank you David for this very educational series, it's really nice to hear a similar perspective. I am definitely a minority in the socialist republic of Washington. I agree with this idea of lesser gods ruling over the nations and Christs incarnation reversing a downward descent into oblivion, death, and eternal separation from Gods for His human creation. To begin the restoration of Gods original intention with Adam and Eve. This belief of what happened in the beginning with Gods divine family of created elohims seems to influence in a certain way the theological and eschatological worldview of it's adherents, it is distinctly different from the fundamentalists. It affects how we see our place in Gods Kingdom right now. I tend to conceptualize these dimensions as "the heavens", plural. I think the majority of Western Christian believers either do not understand it or are not willing to spend the time in the Spirit meditating on Gods word, asking Him for revelation of Jesus Christ in themselves and in the world, and then see how that changes their perspective of where The Kingdom of Heaven is. Most believe heaven is a destination to be arrived at upon the expiration of our meat suit, incorrectly I believe. But this belief permeates so many of the Christians I talk with, they cannot honestly raise the question in their mind that maybe they are wrong about the current Christian belief system in the West, and the people that have been teaching them this belief are also wrong. I was talking with a dear Christian friend last night and he says in no way, shape or form is Gods kingdom here in any way, it is only by faith we believe in these things. That God, the spiritual realm, can no longer communicate through dreams and visions and people, if it isn't written in the 66 books of the Bible, it is not true. Taking polemic and apocalyptic literature as only literal facts. Heaven and earth have always overlapped, most have just lost the ability to see and conceive this thought. The doctrine of dualism and dispensationalism that has seemed to have crept into the Christian worldview and mainstream thinking only weakens the mind into thinking that Satan is the ruler of the planet, because Satan cannot be in heaven. And thinking creates beliefs. They believe Satan rules the planet, and he does have influence, but the earth is the Lord's and everything in it. A lot of people in ministry have spent most of their lives thinking this way, and until they either die off and we get people with a broader view of God's kingdom, I think the body of Christ will continue languish in the world. We are not living in the culture and times when the Bible was written, and certainly not are the people the book of Revelation was written to. The Bible was written for us, not to us. But there are patterns and archetypes that repeat in this world and we can find ourselves in the middle of some of these patterns and archetypes. It's like the majority don't want to immerse themselves in the stories to learn the grand narrative of Scripture, what the stories mean for their lives, rather, they want someone else to tell them what the story means. And most of those someone else's have only a perspective, and sometimes a vested interest in the status quo of ignorance. Rather, we as inheritors of the promise, of Abraham's seed, are co-rulers with the true King and Ruler of this planet Jesus Christ, and as part of the body of Christ, we are to spread the good news of the Gospel that our King is coming back in the flesh to finalize the work of the restoration of all things ON THIS EARTH. He says, "Behold, I make all things new". Not, I make all new things. It is making the new out of the old. It is in the spirit right now, and there are wars to be fought in the spirit that need willing volunteers to engage malevolent forces that are corrupting Gods rule. To replace these thought patterns and narratives in society that are contrary to the kingdom that is to come. And pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. Like dying things, he will disappear from this earth, but we won't. People are scared of uncertainty and change, and the message coming from the pulpit to them is to "prepare to leave the planet, the earth is not my home", only further induces a 2nd grade flannel graph understanding and interpretation of the eternal Kingdom of our creator and how heaven and earth co-mingle throughout time.
Hi Sentinaludo; It is good to hear from you again, and thank you so much for your constant encouragement and thoughtful insight. in reference to your friend's understanding that there is no way God's kingdom can be on earth in any shape or form. Sadly most of us today fall into the same mistake as the jews in the first century. in dispensationalism, the kingdom was offered to the Jews, and upon the rejection of Jesus the Kingdom was postponed until the second coming. also, the Church seems to be an afterthought! they only conceive of the kingdom in its physical form, but Christ himself said the kingdom of God does not come with observation...neither shall they say lo here or there for behold the kingdom of God is within you. here Jesus makes it clear that at this point the concept that they had of the kingdom of God or heaven is not right. they were looking for a messiah who would literally establish a kingdom with Jerusalem as its headquarters. the kingdom of God really means where God is ruling, where He is the king and his subjects obey His rulership. God is the king of the whole universe everywhere, but today we still have humanity that could behave in a way that is contrary to His will. it is important to distinguish what I mean by God's will. there is a will of God that will get accomplished no matter what, no force in the entire universe can withstand what God wants to do. there is also a will of God that is revealed in his commandments like "don't commit adultery, don't commit murder, and other such commandments. these commandments reveal God's will for us, but men are left to obey or break these commands. the people who are in the kingdom of God live to obey these commands because these commands come from their king, but the people who don't belong to the kingdom of God at times break these commands. This is the difference between someone being in the kingdom of God or not. many people think of the Millenium as the kingdom of God. But my understanding is the people who have trusted Christ and live according to His will are in the kingdom of God so most people who have been trained in a dispensational school of thought seem to miss this concept of the kingdom of God. In the Lord's prayer when He says "Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven" He is referring to this will of God "his commandments". that His will or (desires) would be obeyed on earth as it is in heaven. in short, people would live by His will (commandments). I have heard so many bizarre things regarding this prayer that is unreal. you are so right in saying that the Bible was written for us, not to us. it was written for the people of their day. our problem is we interject our twenty-first-century view into the passages rather than try to see things from their point of view, their worldview. how the people to whom it was written would have understood this. especially when it comes to apocalyptic passages. that is why we go off track because we do not read these kinds of literature the way it was intended to be read. they would have understood it, but we who live two thousand years later have a hard time understanding these types of literature because we read it wrong. So these are some of our problems and we can never conceive the thought that we may not be correct. so unfortunately this is where we are. Miss our conversations and soccer, Lord bless you and your family.
@@achristianjourney5768 And herein lies the biggest problem I have with these theological teachers and religious leaders who speak great and swelling words like they are God with their understanding and systematic theology they learned in school. And convincing they are. C.I. Scofield influenced and marinated with a bit of dogma from John Nelson Darby. They will die on the hill of "Gods Kingdom is for Israel not the church, Heaven is for the Christian church after we die and are raptured off the planet, and never shall the two meet or become one." Like you said, their concept of the kingdom was incorrect back then and the majority of the church leaders today also have an incorrect concept of Gods kingdom now. But they have a following of people and I'm sure they are are having an effect in spreading the good news of Gods kingdom, with a salary to boot, so what could be wrong. This is a contributing factor to the rise of anti-Christ spirits and demonic entities taking up residence in so many vacant and weak souls in our age. It's a cycle. This spirit of the age is similar in my understanding to the spirit of the time that missed the Messiah at His first incarnation. To dismiss or never even talk about the reality that you and I and a very large portion of Christians live in right now, who did not seek ministry as a vocation but rather as a lifestyle, causes me to wonder how much of the antichrist spirit is in them. Leading young, naive, ignorant or brainwashed followers of Christ right past the door into heaven. They speak of Christ and claim to interpret the Bible with the Bible, but they deny the present Spirit that brings us Christ's consciousness as we walk in this changing, hostile world and seek rest in His Kingdom today. "I am the gate, whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture" John 10:9 Where will we come in and go out of? Right NOW! How about HEAVEN? Luke 17:21 The Kingdom of God is within you and among you! But people don't see it. It's cognitive dissonance.
My daughter is enchanted with your voice and accent; we had a great discussion on angelic forces, especially because we watched the movie "Nefarious" with Sean Patrick Flannery last night. I did want to post this vid (starting timepoint 4:30) I saw a couple days ago: Mr. Webbon (the dark-bearded man) is close to your view, but Toby Sumpter (the man with our hairstyle) is closer to mine, with an interesting point: Gen 6 is the first use of the term "sons of God", so is it normal/natural for Moses to expect the reader to have that angelic interpretation without any other biblical data? Also, the UFO angle (especially the congressional hearing a couple weeks ago) is simply explained by how desperate the government is to distract from all the bad news for them lately. But great vid as always, brother! ruclips.net/video/Dfdft3Ccg6I/видео.html
thank you so much Brett, as always its good to hear from you. i'll try to watch it when I get a chance. Lord Bless and see you soon.
I see this archetypal story also at work today. Giants in the spirit leaning towards the demonic consuming humankind's most precious resource for their own selfish needs and desires, time. As the church is being winnowed, Baal worship is promising safety and a utopia if only you bow to the golden statue and show your blind obedience to a narrative meant to control and subjugate. It seems probable that a majority of the current crop of Biblical teachers who are working in the church today to bring revelation of Gods word to the people have not prepared, by and large, the body of Christ for this time in which we live, "The transition of ages", which is the vision in The book of UDO. The culture we find ourselves in. The pastors will preach from the rooftops about the supernatural conception and resurrection of Christ, but when you get into topics that venture into the co-mingling between man and divine or the age of the earth or previous creations or the sons of God that sang for joy as He laid the foundations of the earth, they turn into Pharisees. It appears form what we see with our eyes, and what I am experiencing in dreams and visions in the spirit, we are approaching a reaping or a culling that happens cyclically to this planet. And I love your reference to the days of Noah, hopefully people will remember not to follow the "Left Behind" eschatology of pastors who preach you want to be taken. Because in the days of Noah, as in the days of the coming of the Son of man, where the vultures gather, they will be taken to judgement, and maybe that is not a bad thing. The people that were taken were the ungodly. The earth is the Lords, and everything in it, and the consciousness of the Christ that Jesus embodied, is in His followers. As co-rulers and sons and daughters of God, go out and use your spiritual gifting to bring forth the Kingdom of Heaven from within you to a lost and hurting world that is disappearing. It has always been disappearing. This is why we wake with a renewed mind in the body of Christ and give thanks because the eternal kingdom is becoming a greater reality within and among us. But it is foolishness to those who are perishing.
Good video, looking forward to seeing more from you
thank you so much for your kind words, Lord bless you
You do know christianity is just another man made religion 👿 The christian's god is Satan.
I lean towards the idea that the Satan is not just an outside influence that is meant to challenge, or test, and/or accuse us, but is also a spirit within us that is trying to prevent us from obtaining to an older concept known as theosis, becoming as an elohim when we put off our mortality and put on immortality, which is the hope of this Christ follower. We are living in/contributing to 2 different realms of existence as we journey on towards the culmination of our individual lives. The obvious one is in the flesh, and this is where the Satan has his greatest influence, where we have our material senses to help us interpret and navigate this life. The other is the life in the spirit, which is a much subtler and influential force in our lives, but is a greater determinant of our trajectory into world that is to come that we all are going to find ourselves in one day. And the anti-Christs are many to corrupt the image of God. Without the Christ consciousness in the body of Jesus in our lives, there is no sure way of knowing our destiny when the lifetime of our meat suit ends. It is difficult when we are younger to understand how these worlds interact, but studying the scriptures and time gives light to the paths of our souls and understanding to our days. There are people today who have not been called by God but have inserted themselves into positions of "Authority" and speak like they have the only understanding of Gods Kingdom and use the name of Jesus Christ to influence and persuade the weak, the innocent and the naive, because there is power in THE NAME. These are the ones that are the most dangerous. I can not say I have THE understanding from what I have read about the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ but I can say with 100% certainty that I know from experience what happened to me, because my life ended in 1987, and 3 days later I awoke to a different world than I remembered, and I am growing in the grace and mercy and power that is THE ELOHIM on earth right now. I'm not waiting to die to go to a place called heaven, I am in God's Kingdom and so are all of Christs followers. But there are some religions that are going to argue through theological gymnastics that the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of heaven are different, and that there is a difference between Christians and Jews. Ok, let us go before YHWH and have Him explain that to us and Paul. I'm not convinced the dogma and ideology we are being led to believe is the revelation of Jesus Christ at the end of this age is what we need right now. There are a bunch of scared children that are being bullied by malevolent spirits that manifest recurrently in society, and these spirits need to be destroyed. I contend we have a bunch of followers, being taught a VERSION of a hollow Gospel of the Kingdom that is now, and the Kingdom that is to come. The earth is the Lords and everything in it. Christ has overcome the world, and the Satan has their parts to play in it, just like in the book of Job. But it is still Christs world. I will NEVER concede that it is not. The incarnation through the virgin ended in His death the first time and then the resurrection. It didn't end in His death at His 2nd incarnation, we need to get away from this linear concept of time when it comes to the spirit. I think this is why dreams are sometimes hard to interpret. We are co-rulers with Him now. Ask YHWH as you go to sleep tonight to help fight in this ongoing war with Michael and I. We do not want to leave this earth before we have established more Edens on the planet for those that are coming after us. The escapist, fundamentalists are convinced they are going to be taken away by a non-Biblical concept called the rapture, and that is what they believe, good for them. I'm sure God is more than capable to bring all of us to the truth of His higher heavens, but that is not how I see it. The Kingdom is coming down to earth, we are not going up to heaven. Possibly it is going to materialize out of a higher dimension of being, and this is the transition we are seeing and experiencing right now. The devil has come down with great wrath, because he knows his time is short. Yes, the demonic influences are increasing, but the powers of Gods higher heavens are also present, and we know the end. But the wars in the spirit still rage on, and this is how we overcome the powers and principalities at the end of this age, in the spirit. So we do not cower in the corner, crippled by fear because of the authoritarian rulers animated by the lower dimensional, trapped entities, clouds without rain, autumn trees without fruit. Look up, look inward, because the Kingdom of heaven is within you and our redemption draws near. Just as it was in the days of Noah, many will be taken off of planet earth to judgment to prepare the way of the Lord, and it is GLORIOUS.
John 12:31-32 KJVS Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. [32] And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
thanks for the comment, good to hear from you Keith. Lord bless you
Thank you for the insight, this is a great study for me. The stories in scriptures are so deep in meaning and there is so much to learn if we/I set our/my heart to know God through the person of Jesus Christ. (I am speaking mainly to myself). In my own walk with Christ and how I have seen Him working in and through my life, usually it has been in hind sight, I understand the stories in the Bible are archetypal paths humankind goes through and these stories are preserved for us so even if our conscious mind does not understand yet, our subconscious mind does. We can find ourselves in multiple stories throughout life and sometimes multiple stories at once, but not THE EXACT stories. This is where I think the mainstream western church message breaks down and why it has become so weak in influencing culture. Doing "acts" because of our faith but not influencing or changing the spirit. Interpreting the stories as a sort of "This is what is going to happen" stance because this is what is says in the book of Revelation, or whatever other book they say. Partially or completely missing the grand narrative of scripture that we ARE sons and daughters of God through Christ and co-rulers with Him right now, bringing into reality the eternal Kingdom of Heaven. I think most people are willing and content to be chained back in Egypt and accept the narrative that we are subject to the principalities and powers at work today, and most support them. We are not awaiting a point in time event for this to happen, the "Coming of Christ" (erchomei) was a point in time event that happened at His birth to the virgin and incarnation . The "coming of Christ" (Parousia) is His presence in Spirit right now. I choose to live in the consciousness of Christ right now, but there is the Satan within me wanting to manifest and do things in my own power, in my own reasoning, and that wouldn't end well. I can do nothing good apart from Christ, and I bring my petitions and prayers before the throne of the Most High God, our Father in heaven to influence and change the spirits in my life and around me and ask to overcome the Luciferians who think they know of power. Of course, since Christ incarnated on the earth being born of Mary, most true followers believed they were living in the end times, justifying it through events and circumstances they witnessed in their own lives and times, and they were, for themselves. The spirit doesn't seem to operate according to a linear scale of time as we understand it, but it does influence and affect our lives in our time. Most people want to be liked and accepted by other people, so they will go along to get along, all the while The Satan is manifesting all around the world because too few have been pushing back with the message of the Kingdom that is NOW. Most Christians accepting the message of "The Earth is not our home", and that heaven is a destination we are going to when we die or are raptured off the planet before it's annihilation from God. This "belief" of an ideology is at war in the church among the believers who do not agree with it, and those who espouse the escapist dogma of a rapture, popularized by John Nelson Darby, do not want to have a debate in front of the congregation to defend their beliefs with anyone who can put up a cogent version of what the scriptures actually do say. That might cause the non questioning tithers to ask the question of "How does this guy speak like he knows the will of God if there is this other explanation". It is kind of like our politicians not wanting to have open dialogue with the voters, rather forcing their "vision" onto society while being surrounded by a group of sycophants in a mutual admiration society.
Hi Sentinaludo: thank you so much for writing. I apologize for not writing back sooner, sometimes I get so caught up with everything that it takes me a while to get around. I always enjoy your insight, it makes me think and I hope others who watch the video will get to read your understanding. I am getting ready to write the second part of this video hopefully it will be a blessing. at some point in the future if the Lord wills I want to do a study on prophecy and present different views honestly and without bias. but at the end explain what I think is the best Biblical position. most of us today have only been exposed to one school of thought which is the dispensational premillennial position and because of its popularity most of us have become convinced that this must be the correct biblical view and any other position can't really be correct. again if the Lord wills I want to take this task of explaining that there are other views that need our attention in order to come to a thoughtful conclusion. so I look forward to that study. I hope all is well with your and the family. I miss our conversations and soccer. Lord bless you and please continue to share your thoughts. with brotherly love. David.
Great topic. The way a person understands Genesis, I think, influences greatly how they interpret all of scripture. Genesis was written as a Polemic, a style of writing like an Apocalypse, which many people do not understand is a type of lens to read through. Unfortunately, most of the leaders of the churches today, incorrectly teach Genesis. For example, when God said "Let us create man in our image, in our likeness", they will die on the hill that this means the Trinity, which of course is an INTERPRETATION of what the meaning of the text is meant to convey. Or when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, also they will teach as fact that it was the line of Seth. Another interpretation. Or, "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth". Heavens, plural. Or, in 6 literal days God created the earth and the earth is only 6000 years old. These dogmas of tradition I think have really limited the growth and development of the souls of the followers of our returning King and ruler to simple peasants, accepting their captivity in Babylon or Egypt. It is simplistic responses like these that have rendered the church, which is supposed to be the spiritual body of Christ with many members, ineffective against the onslaught of moral and cultural decay in our society. Believing the Kingdom of Heaven/God is a destination that we are hoping for upon the failure of our meat suits. Dogma and ideology have driven the supernatural reality and influence of scripture in our lives out of many church pulpits, along with and unwavering belief we are to obey without question the narrative the government says is truth. The battle is in the spirit. Meditate and pray before the almighty creator of all things that he would help us to subdue kingdoms by faith like Sampson, Gideon, and Jepthah. To empower us to kick in the gates of hell that are present upon this earth and shine the light of Jesus Christ into all the dark places in our lives. The Kingdom of God is within us, and the kingdom of heaven is coming down upon the earth, and many souls will be leaving this time. And those of us that remain, we will throw open the gates of the city and go out and meet our returning Lord in the open air. This is not what modern scholars call the "rapture" either. This is eternal life in Jesus Christ!
good to hear from you again sentinaludo; as always you make very good points. i like the fact that you try to do your own investigations and if it goes against the "mainstream" narrative so be it. this is a study that I wanted to do for a long time, hopefully now we get to do this and i hope it would be a blessing to others. at least for others who may see things differently to consider some of the points that will be made during this study. as always Lord bless you and look forward to hear from you soon.
@@achristianjourney5768 I hope to speak truth through the Holy Spirit as an image of Jesus Christ in this time. A way of looking at the second coming is that it does not take place because God initiates a change in history through His creation redeemed by the blood of the Lamb. It is not an event in the future but it is possible at any and every moment. But it seems to me, most of those redeemed are expecting a premature end to their lives through a man created doctrine called the rapture and the destruction of earth. The New Jerusalem is within us, like the Kingdom of God, but we're not taught to learn to look inside ourselves to commune with the creator and listen to what God says to us in dreams when the busyness of the conscious world is not distracting us. I hope to continually grow in my desire to know and implement Gods will on earth as it is in heaven and it is within me. I seem to enter into the many dimensions of heaven that I can remember and I have have been recording these visions for 32 years. I am living realized eschatology of what Jesus Christ said to me 32 years ago that I saw in a vision. It's like most Christians believe the book of Revelation has only one way to be read, and that it is meant for us alone in our age, our time. The Bible was written for us, not to us. Uncountable millions of people have believed they were the last generation or the millennial rain had begun in their lives since Christ's incarnation. Many Christians have accepted what I believe is a carefully crafted deception about the end times and the transition of ages. This has rendered them ineffective in the spiritual warfare that is manifesting upon the planet right now. Not everyone following Christ believes the mainstream narrative from the pulpit. I think if there was some discussion and investigation into the multiple dimensions of heaven and the different beings that influence life on earth, fear would probably overcome a good percentage of church goers because they are not prepared for the things that are manifesting upon the planet. Maybe their hearts would fail them. All it took 2028 years ago, +/-, was 1 man to change the destinies of all who believed. His 2nd manifestation didn't end like it did before.
Its good to hear from you Brett. I always appreciate your insight into the scriptures, may the lord continually bless you and your family
I don't think your conclusions are conjecture at all: Eph 2:7 speaks powerfully of God's redeemed people as trophies of His grace for all time, and other passages show the opposite for those under His wrath, that they will be a testament forever of what a fearful thing it is to fall into the hands of the living God.
Islam is the religion of tyranny and false prophets. Beware my Christian brothers, have strong faith and don't let these false prophets convince you.
I suspect everyone being on their own personal walk with Jesus Christ brings somewhat of a different facet or image of Gods Kingdom to the church, but what I see today, is a weak church body of Christ to counter this chaotic force that has been growing in presence on the earth. Because they have been convinced of a partial lie from the pulpit. Satan convinces people to negate or forget who they are in Christ, the power and authority we have over all things, that we are all victims of spiritual forces and sin we cannot overcome until "Jesus returns". Satan gets them to believe they are going to die or God is going to rapture the entire church before things get really bad on earth. How do you think that worked out for all the past atrocities that have occurred and continue to occur. I see few who have the spirit and the will to come before YHWH and the divine council in the spirit and ask to go out and destroy those beings that destroy the earth just as God has said He does. And to those who do not believe it, that is good, because they never see it coming. "Behold, I make all things new". "The nations were angry, and your wrath has come. The time has come for judging the dead, and for rewarding your servants the prophets and your people who revere your name, both great and small- and for destroying those who destroy the earth.” Revelation 11:18 We are not going anywhere, but we all will be changed. Time is an illusion to the eternal, a construct the fallen use to their advantage to enslave the naive and ignorant to achieve what they cannot in this 3rd dimension, they cannot get out of it. Heaven is not a destination believers should be praying to arrive at in some point of time, the Kingdom of God is within you, and among you. But most do not believe that. Heaven can be entered into at will for the believer. The creative, healing power of God, manifested through His children on this earth. Eternal life manifesting in Jesus Christ. Because the higher dimensions of heaven have been always manifesting on earth, but most people do not see it and are not prepared to deal with the change because of weak teaching. So their mind loses vision and their heart loses hope and they pass from existence on earth to our eyes, but that is not the end, unless the free gift of salvation and eternal life in Jesus Christ is rejected.
Hi Sentinal; haven't heard from you in a while. it's good to hear from you. Lord Bless you and your family.
Thanks, Christian Journey... the testimony of all Scripture, understood in context, is the only manipulation-free source of wisdom.
God bless you, Christian Journey... if we love Jesus, we must expect vehement opposition from a culture that hates Jesus.
I agree it is important to continue our personal growth and development in our own studies of scripture. Maybe it is because of where I am in my understanding of the heavens and Gods kingdom, but I am discouraged with the general state of the church, I keep going though because Christ has told me it is good to gather as the collective body of Christ. But I have little confidence in the spiritual depth and strength of the congregation to fight back against the presence of hell that is reaching into this world to pull down as many souls as possible. Most are either struggling to make ends meet, and that creates it's own set of problems and boundaries to internal growth, or they have such an abundance of wealth that their perspective is slanted into the growth at all costs mentality business model of society, hence the church's conforming to culture. In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth is the Lords and everything in it. And Satan is in it. As I see it, there are higher heavens into which we can enter into, just not in our physical bodies, and there are lower heavens that hold spirits that are closer to the spectrum of chaos and death, into which I have fallen into. The lowest of which is eternal separation from God, which is what awaits those who reject the Son of God and His free gift of salvation from the end of this age, and there are a bunch of politicians that are trying to postpone this coming event in their lives as long as possible and they are trying to pass laws to prevent people from even talking about it. They must realize at some level their time is short. It is ALL Gods creation. Satan created nothing, he only is host of a portion of Gods creation for a time. In a vision I had from God back in 1990, I saw thousands and thousands of spirits traveling on a grand staircase, coming down into the earth and disappearing into the sky above. Going up into the higher heavens, and coming down into the lower realms of existence. In that vision I saw where I am living today, in exactly the structure that I saw, and Jesus Christ told me, "In my Fathers house are many mansions and I go to prepare a place for you", which is where I sit today. I understand it is a resting place, or a place of preparation for what God may bring next, but I'm okay with that. I have had visions of much greater places that I hope to return to one day. Of course, this doesn't agree with what the Pharisees and Saducees of today will tell the congregation of how to "Properly interpret the Word of God", and to them I say "Live your belief. But do not try to tell me or convince anyone else that you absolutely know what you are talking about, because you have obviously not seen the darker side of Gods Kingdom". I understand the theological training for most of the current pastors in the church's today are greatly influenced by men like John Nelson Darby and Cyrus Scofield. They have a overly simplistic, naive understanding of God's kingdom but it is wrapped in a pretty convincing "system of theology". I do not claim to understand God's kingdom completely, or for that matter maybe even partially, but I think there has been a destructive doctrine introduced into eschatology that has rendered impotent the power of God and His ability through Jesus Christ in the Holy Spirit to change people and the direction of society today. Pastors pass off this true Power of God to some ethereal end place they call "heaven". It doesn't even enter their minds that we are to kick in the gates of hell and begin the restoration of Gods creation her on earth, NOW. Not to wait for a rescue that takes us out of Gods creation. Christ IS the rescue. Christ's incarnation is the final revealed character of God in us. It is like most of the church going Christians have accepted as fact the predominant perspective that there is this neat, tidy timeline of events that leads up to the return of Jesus Christ and, for those with the ability to venture into the discussion of the "End of the Ages", they repeat a misguided eschatology they learned from men who are convinced in their own mind that what they say is the absolute truth. I believed that once, because that is what the pastor of the church convincingly spoke of, but I was busy in mind and body following the vision God had given me for my future, for the family I didn't have yet, but I believed it. I didn't have the time to invest into developing my soul and questioning what I have been taught, but now I do. The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand! It didn't go anywhere since Christ's proclamation of this. But for some people, it is fading because there is no vision of hope right now. The teachers say hope for heaven is in the future only. But people are awakening to this higher level of reality today, and I pray "Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven". Eternal life is within you, but only the higher heavens to those found in Jesus Christ. Heaven coming down is going to push out many souls around us, but I stand firm because He has conquered death. The Kingdom of heaven is coming down to earth, we are not going up to heaven. Most people see the kingdom of heaven as a final destination, and thanks to the influence of the lower energy spirits that are growing in presence in this world right now, the belief is infiltrating deeper and deeper into the church because of partially or wholly incorrect interpretation of the overarching message of the Biblical Canon. Where is the Kingdom of God? (Luke 17:21) It is not coming with an outward observation or how someone tells you. Because it is within you, and sadly, most people operate only in the 5 senses of the flesh, and can only see what the Satan has convinced them is truth.
Hi Sentinal; it's good to hear from you again. you are on the right track as you continue to study God's word and expand your understanding of God's kingdom. unfortunately because of our theology, we cannot go very deep into God's revelation. we are where we are. I think in spite of all this it's great that you still continue to go to Church. just keep up with your studies and grow in your knowledge and understanding. because most of us think the kingdom of God is still in the future it really limits our understanding. even though this was not the case in the past. but dispensationalism has really hampered our deeper understanding of things of God and is creating immature Christians. but again we are where we are so we need to continue on and try to grow. As always it's good to hear from you and keep up with your spiritual growth. with brotherly love David.
In my opinion, this is your best video. Keep up the great work David.
Thank you so much For your encouragement Shelsey, it means a lot. May the lord continually bless and keep you. Talk to you soon
Thank you David. Great points for also developing a "character toolbox" into ones being. I'm at a point in my christian walk where my growth and understanding is continually growing in the knowledge of the Lord and His kingdom: the Kingdom that is NOW and the Kingdom that is to come. So I'm in a position that is probably leaning more towards on discerning the spirit that is within people and seeing how that has manifested in other their lives, and it is eye opening. When disagreements in theology come up, I liked your stance of "make sure your heart and mind are in the right place". So it is hard to know for me if it is God wanting me to speak out to people to know that what they believe about certain secondary doctrines of Gods eternal Kingdom is NOT a settled issue or even a majority position held amongst all of those in the Body of Christ. Or is it the spirit in me, the one that is closer to the chaos side of the tether in my soul that holds in balance the to opposites of chaos and order. Because there are some very rigid beliefs in my own soul of how God's Kingdom is now and what the Kingdom that is to come will be, and it is extremely hard when the pastor makes some such dogmatic, this is the only possible way to interpret this or that passage statements. I step back, hoping to be an alternative voice on some of these non-essential but hugely important, in my mind, beliefs they hold. Personal experience has show me, of all the men that I know that are in positions in the church leadership structure that have different beliefs about these things, only maybe a couple would even say with their words that any other view than what they believe is a possibility. Their minds are stuck, or trapped in the material world, only being reinforced by views that are stuck in 1850 with John Nelson Darby. Yeah it was popular, but was it correct? So if these weaker or smaller or immature spirits that are influencing these people have developed these shallow views of Gods Kingdom and His ability and power to change things, I have a hard time wanting to fully dive in and become a part of what in most cases in a worldly business model of a church. Kind of like the Catholic Church and organizational structure that constituted "the Church" up until the Reformation when Martin Luther confronted the Pope. Probably not what Jesus envisioned, but what do we do. Pastors like seeing growth, which normally requires more building space which requires more money, which requires more buts in the seats. Kind of like government employment, always keep growing at any cost. It seems no one has the ability or bandwidth to communicate a better explanation of how God worked in the past and how He is working right now in His eternal Kingdom, and those of us living like what Jesus said in John 11:25-26 25 25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. 26 And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?”. The immature are inculcated with incorrect beliefs about the beginning and about the end times, and life throws enough challenges into their lives that they do not have time to sit down and walk in the sandals of the people in those stories in Scripture. Committing to gathering with the corporate body once a week is good, maybe twice if there is a good Bible Study, but normally you'd be better off staying at home in quiet prayer and meditation and listen to what God is saying to you. Seek to develop the Kingdom in your home and those God has brought into your sphere. Develop your soul to endure whatever comes your way. Let the believers who think they are going to be taken away from the earth before any hardships believe it. It's not what scripture teaches, but it is what the majority of the "Licensed by the State authority" teach and believe. Mark Twain once said, "It's not what you know that gets ya into trouble. It's what ya know for sure that just ain't so"
Hi Sentinal; it's good to hear from you again. I understand what you mean by pastors having a very dogmatic opinion about a particular subject, and its case closed for them. any other views cannot be considered. some of this may be due to the seminary or theological studies they have gone through and became very convinced of their position. most of the time we defend a tradition rather than trying to keep an open mind and sometimes consider other positions that may be contrary but yet have a good scriptural base and support. but as much as it depends on you keep exploring and growing. i wanted to make a couple of videos on some of the trends in evangelicalism like the prosperity gospel, and seeker-sensitive churches, and then Lord willing talk about the spiritual history of the world so hopefully it will be of interest to the people. i try to share a video with you which is very shocking I don't know if I could message this to you or not, but will try. with brotherly love. David
I have found in my own walk, we also change as we grow, and some of our simpler beliefs we once believed need to be modified or adapted to a fuller understanding that is commensurate with our deeper walk with Jesus Christ. As we discover our gifting or calling, that is influenced by our life decisions, we need to change or adapt to a different environment we find ourselves in, and hopefully we have kept Jesus Christ as our guide in the decisions we make. Very important to be able to self asses and get insights from godly council, if you can find it. I tend to have a pessimistically slanted view of the church and it's manifestation in this age but not that I think it needs to be scrapped, though it does need a course correction for preparing the believers to welcome the returning King. I mean a better interpretation of the beginning and a more accurate understanding of the end. For some of us, traumas and experiences that are beyond the 5 senses of our material world defy logical explanation, and doesn't seem to fit into the narrative of the mainstream teaching of the current western church in general. They seem to isolate or minimize that part of the character of Christ, the resurrecting, miraculous healing power of our divine High Priest. They speak of hope and compassion, service and love, and the simple come in and fill the seats and put money in the offering because they have a simple or non existent comprehension of anything beyond life governed by money. Allowing the serpents back into garden.
Hi UDO; it's good to hear from you again. as you mentioned we do modify our understanding as we grow and sometimes revisiting some of our old understanding can be very beneficial because we have come to a fuller understanding of things. but for most this is a hard thing because it's much easier to remain with the herd rather than allow truths to lead you and there is usually a cost associated with the change. today western Church is highly influenced by the culture and we have become a reflection of our culture rather than conforming to the Bible. we are giving people what they want to hear and what "feels good". In the near future, we need to take a more costly stand in our society if we want to be true to Christ. it will become harder and harder to be passive and yet be true to Christ. so we will see what the future holds. as always may the Lord continually bless and keep you.
Agreed.
We are stewards of this body (& all its parts), and as such we are to guard our eyes, ears, and senses. God's Word tells us ~ Proverbs 4:23~ to guard our heart (& the mind) because the issues or springs of life flow from it. There is a thief & enemy of GOD and mankind, who can be read about in Isaiah 14:12 - 17, one & the same that's spoken of in Luke ~10:18-19; & John 8:44~ So God's Word tells us there is a real enemy ~ John 10:10~, but not of flesh & blood ~Ephesians 6:12~, though he may use anyone who allows him to.... So then it is helpful, more like Absolutely needful for the Believer to protect their heart, mind, by paying attention to what's being heard, shown AND Filtering it through the Word of GOD, and The Spirit of GOD (Holy Spirit) which abides within the Believer. We cannot become hermits and isolate ourselves so that we cannot be reached - which this is a tactic of "that enemy," to keep Christ from being shown IN the world. We are Light of the world. ~Matthew 5:14~....Pulling back is needed, some times. Being mindful & protective of our health, life, & family is important - well, it has to start with also protecting our soul, and spirit. Yet, not so guarded that we're not approachable (for people), or pliable (by GOD). God helps us in every way - teaches us balance - if/when we ask & allow Him to. Besides if the Believer always goes into hiding - how will the world See Christ? The lost (those who haven't found Christ, and the beautiful relationship with God through His Son Jesus Christ) will continue in the path - leading them straight to destruction, death, bondage, and ETERNAL Separation from The Loving GOD who wants so much to have them in HIS world. So we must be good stewards, and allow Holy Spirit to help us in all things; HE is THE Best Guide on how to be so. Hope that wasn't too much to share?
Thanks Michelle
no that was really good, great thoughts, let me know your thoughts on future videos. Lord bless and see you soon.
What "Fall Away from God" do really means? And what "God" are you talking about? The Bible is not a book about God.
Hi Ketsune; thank you so much for writing. the "Fall" in Christian theology refers to the rebellion of Adam and Eve's against God by taking the forbidden fruit that God had commanded them not to eat. the result of this rebellion was very far reaching it made man to become separated from God, it brought sin into this world and it fundamentally changed us as human being. all of these consequences was passed on to all of Adam's posterity. all Adam's descendants are born with this independent attitude from birth and we naturally do not submit to God and his laws. as far as what God I am talking about? i am referring to Jehovah the true and the living God that is described in the Bible. in the Bible we encounter this living God and we can learn what He is like through His action, learn about His character through His laws and commands, also we can see what He approves of and disapprove of thought His laws. finally we see this God in the person of Jesus Christ who is the Image of the invisible God. so we can say the Bible is all about God. if we did not have the Bible we would not have a clear revelation of God and of ourselves. In the Bible we encounter God and it answers our deepest questions of life. I hope this clarifies what I meant by the fall. thanks again for writing and please continue watching and let me know your thoughts.
@@achristianjourney5768 There is no "God" in the garden of Eden nor such thing as "men's fall" because nor the Hebrews or the Jews had an understanding of divine as a Universal Supreme Being or they did believed in original sin doctrine invented by Paul of Tarsus and later by Augustin of Hippo which is the bedrock of Christianity theology, rather they worshiped Jehovah or Yahweh a Midianite deity that Moses borrowed to create the Israelite religion. The Hebrews were henotheists most of their lives and then developed a monolatry around Yahweh in the Kings period. Yahweh is not God but rather a tribal spirit that was wandering the desert of Sinai and had his residence in the Sinai mountains. The Bible is not a book about God. A "God" that threatens to kill you or rape your wife if you dont do what he wants, uses lies to get what he wants, needs the daily burning of offering and the smell of roasting meat to calm down, tells you to bake bread with human shit or loves gold too much is not the Supreme Being. That is even offensive and childish to hold such view on God. Yahweh is not even the Father of Jesus. Jesus denied Yahweh\Jehovah many times. Your understanding is full of fallacies and preconceived knowledge that do not match with reality or data. I could say much more but I do not want my comment to go too long
Hi Ketsune 23; thank you again for writing. I apologize for getting back to you late I have been extremely busy. I try to answer some of your comments. first, there is no God in the garden. the Garden is where the Lord places Adam and Eve, see Genesis chapter 2:8, 3:8. as far as the FALL of mankind; the fall refers to the consequence of Adam and Eve's actions by disobeying God, by taking the fruit that God had prohibited. see Gen. 2:16-18 (the Lord God commanded the man saying "You may surely eat of every tree of the garden, but the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die". this was the command and they transgressed that command that is how death entered the human race. this is called the fall. think of it this way why do we die? was death part of God's plan for us or the consequence of our actions? there is only two option. 1. a natural understanding of humanity which would say death is part of how things are in nature. 2. a theological understanding which would say God did not intend for man to die, but death was the penalty for eating the forbidden fruit. I believe the 2nd. the next question is this if death came as the result of Adam and Eve's disobedience why does the rest of humanity die? I let you think about this question. as far as the Jews had no understanding of a universal supreme being. over and over the Lord told them that the Lord is one. the idea of original sin is a simple one to comprehend. think of it this way, again why do all of us die? if death is the consequence of Adam and Eve's actions it should stop with them why do the rest of us die? it seems like the Lord gave the penalty of death to them if they ate the forbidden fruit, but if we have not eaten the forbidden fruit then why do we die? why death is universal? think of this question in your mind and see what you come up with. I don't know where you got the idea of Yahweh was a Midianite deity that Moses borrowed to create the Israelite religion!!, when you read the account of the Lord's call to Moses He was content to live where he was at He did not want to go to deliver the Israelites, let alone take the time as an 80 years old man to invent a religion for the Israelite. the Midianite came from Ismael who must have had some knowledge of God as the result of being a son of Abraham but to think Moses borrowed this God to create an Israelite religion is a stretch. as far as Jehovah being a tribal spirit. for a tribal spirit, He was quite powerful to be able to deliver the people of Israel from Egypt, (doing all the miracles, power over the natural forces, and animals, parting the red sea, etc). even the Egyptian priests recognized that this was the "finger of God". they recognized this was the doing of the "real God". if I was going to guess where you got most of your information from could it be from misguided secular sources? you should read the Bible for yourself and see what you come up with. I honestly don't where you got the rest of your ideas about Jehovah, quick point when God takes human life He is not committing murder. because He is the creator of life, if He decides to take that life He is only taking what belongs to Him in the first place. but when you and I take a life we are taking something that does not belong to us. this is murder not when God takes a life. I am sorry for such a long response, but I think you got your data and information from misguided secular sources. thank you so much for writing and watching, I wish you all the best.
@@achristianjourney5768 The "Lord" is only a word to hide the real meaning of what the text says. The Bible is NOT well translated and uses words such as "Lord", "the Lord God" and others to cover the real meaning that is behind. What the text really says is the Elohim Yahweh placed Adam and Eve. There is NO God in the Garden of Eden in the sense of a Universal, All Power Being and source of everything because even the writer of Genesis nor the Hebrews had such advanced concept of the divine. Such concept is an anachronistic interpretation of Genesis which Christians do a lot. Besides that the Garden of Eden story is an adaptation of older Sumerian stories. The Hebrew text was highly edited after the Babylonian captivity and the Jewish priests tried to connect those stories to their ancestors. You cannot understand the book of Genesis without an understanding of the Sumerian culture and literature. Gardens in the Sumeria vocabulary are places were the gods live. There is no FALL of mankind, that is an invention of the church fathers and the New Testament. There is not even ONE text in the Jewish texts that supports the original sin doctrine. In fact, the Bible says that the children shall NOT pay for the sins of their fathers which invalidates your belief on the original sin doctrine. If you read carefully the story of Adam and Eve in the book of Genesis you will see that. You say they transgressed an order to not eat from the tree of good and evil and that is why dead entered the world, which is again false, the text says that "Yahweh" saw that Adam and Eve became like gods knowing good and evil and he feared that they would become immortal too so he removed the tree of life from the garden. Question : Why "God" would fear such thing? Is a tree more powerful than "God"? You see there is no God in this story. Like I said before, the Bible is not translated well. There is no such thing as punishment in the Garden of Eden, the story of Adam and Eve tells how human became self-awareness because you just can be self-aware when you are a moral being, if Adam and Eve were forbidden of eating from the tree of good and evil they did no have free will and therefore they could never have sin or do a conscious decision, which means they were like "robots" just obeying orders, they "broke" the protocol when they gave ears to the snake which was the one that told them the true because they did not die and their eyes really were opened. "God" was the one that lied because he said "the day you eat you will die" and dont come to me with symbolical explanations because the text is really clear. The real "demon" in this story is "God" or Yahweh or whatever you want to call it. You're assuming that Adam and Eve were the first humans but that is not even the case. According to the Bible, Humanity dies because they were forbidden from eating from the tree of life not because of any original sin. We die because our bodies were designed to die. The Semites taught that the soul resided in the body fat and that is why "God" told them not to eat the fat of animals. If it was Adam and Eve that ate from the tree of life why do animals die? Do animals sin? Dont come to me with any sin entered the world kind of answer because that makes no sense. Also , tell me why do snakes do not talk today? Yahweh was a Midianite deity and this can be easily proven with data from history and archeology. Yahweh was a volcano mountain deity worshiped by the Kenites and Midianites which were tribes that lived around the Sinai region. I dont find a coincidence that Moses had to climb a mountain to talk with "God" and that "God" in the Bible is represented as a consuming fire, that smoke comes out of his nostrils and that when "God" spoke with the people the earth shook like an earthquake, sounds to me those are all together volcano activities. The Ancient Semites believed a spirit lived in the mount Sinai which later became the god of the Israelite religion. Abraham never met "God" as Yahweh. Yahweh is a exclusive creation of Moses and his father in law is said to be a priest of Yahweh and he was a midianite priest. If you read the books considered written by Moses they contain much of Egyptian knowledge that was adapted to the Hebrew reality. For example, the ceremonial laws and also the taboo about eating pork are all found in Egypt as well, not even mentioning the 10 commandments. Yahweh did not delivered anyone from Egypt, your understanding of the Israelite story is too naive. The Red Sea was not opened and there was no plagues. If you are not aware, there are several old accounts of the Exodus in one of them written in Aramaic says that the Hebrews fled Egypt during the night while the Egyptian Army was away. The pink story the Hebrews wrote is nothing more than a romantic version of their story. You have to understand that the books of the Bible are propaganda and they have the purpose of elevating the morality of the people of Israel, nonetheless, they were made slaves by stronger and wiser civilizations all their lives. God has no special people or any of those ridiculous doctrines which lead people to kill in the name of God. By those stories you can see that "God" is not God. The Hebrew saw Yahweh as a super man not as God. It is written in Exodus 15:3 Yahweh is a man of war, Yahweh is his name. God is not warlike. So quit that idea that the Jewish God is actually the Creator of the Universe or the Father of Jesus because is not. Lol misguided by secular sources, have you ever considered to check the facts? You do not see you are brainwashed and brainwashing other people. Christianity together with other Abrahamic religions are evil. Christians might not commit terrorist acts against others like Muslim but believing Christianity is violence against the self. In fact, Christians fight each other since 2nd century AD. They killed each other just to show which one is right and they still do.
Thank you for a good overview of the different beliefs in the Christian world. I had to revisit the meaning and purposes of the sacraments, it seems I have taken that concept without giving much more than a superficial understanding to it. This is a nice regular Biblical insight time for me, please keep it up. I wonder, when taking the Bible as the inerrant word of God, which I do, speaking from much personal study and research into the eternal Kingdom of God, and seeking wisdom from those deeper into the reality of Gods Kingdom in our lives right now, where do we draw the line as to what is the inerrant word of God? The Scriptures as recorded in the Western evangelical shoot of Christianity is 66 books. In the Roman Catholic it has 73 books. The Greek Eastern Orthodox has 79 books and the Ethiopian Orthodox has 86 books. Most of which came from where, and who? Could it have been Pharisees and Saducees that lived through the end of the age in 70 A.D. and witnessed the destruction of the Jewish Temple? Whom escaped and maybe some of who rebranded themselves to conceal the fact that they were WRONG! Which fulfilled all of what Jesus Christ was referring to throughout His recorded short ministry here on earth? And why did the Essenes make for the area of Qumran and create caves to protect themselves and specific ancient manuscripts which were of the most valuable of all they had from what was obviously a horrific event in the life and being of the people of Israel? Did they listen to the warning Jesus Christ gave them of what to look for at the end of the age? When Titus encircled the city of Jerusalem in 66 AD? The principalities and powers of that age could not handle the fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies that promised a Messiah. And there is still disagreement to this day as to when the fulfillment of the Old Testament promise of THE Messiah came/will come. And today, the principalities and powers still cannot stand what is happening. Because the Earth is the Lord's and everything in it. The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand, Jesus Said. And it hasn't gone anywhere, but for some, it has, and others it is only a fading memory. But now the principalities and powers realize Jesus is the King, and it didn't end like the first time, but they are still fighting. And the short attention span cannot bridge the gap beyond the material realm of existence. It is intentional, purposeful. A hypnotizing if you will. But not all have fallen asleep. The disagreement will be fierce as to who has the inspired inerrant word of God, at least with those who are closer to true and complete revelation of Jesus Christ. (or should I say those who are investing into the eternal Kingdom and not this passing leg of the journey) Many great men of God have a differing view of our place in Gods Kingdom right now, and only God can change minds and hearts to bring us to His truth, not closer to the truth, AT THE TRUTH. That is the goal to which we all should aim. It may even be a question today if some Christians even believe we are in Gods Kingdom right now. Or by extension, where is Gods Kingdom right now. And yes, I understand life's tragedies, circumstances, and sometimes malevolence will overcome temporarily the faith of even the most stout hearted among us, "but have faith, because I have overcome the world," Jesus said. These words resonate throughout all eternity and strike fear into those who are perishing. And it should. "Therefore rejoice you heavens and you who dwell in them! But woe to you oh earth and sea, for the devil has come down to you with great wrath, because he knows his time is short". Revelation 12:12 Enter into His rest. Some will deny the promises made by Jesus Christ through theological gymnastics, creative hermeneutics, and differing interpretations of time frames which the Bible is meant to convey to us. There is nothing new under the sun. What has been, is what is to come, and what is to come is has already been. It is the wheel of creation that our souls are on, and in Jesus Christ we can see in the eternal, and this is the material life of our spiritual being. But some have lost hope, and forgotten the promises that were made that apply to all who come to the saving Grace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The spiritual truths encapsulated in the stories are eternal messages from God the Father, meant to show or teach each one of us that they do have differing levels of meaning to different people throughout all of time. "Behold, I make all things new" To go back to the garden, and leave a better world for our children.
Hi UDO; thanks again for your thought-provoking comments. I want to make a video on how we ended up with the 66 books of the Bible, especially what was the selecting processed and who decided and why. In this response, I wanted to focus a little on the KINGDOM OF GOD. today we have 2 main views on this subject. one is the Dispensational view of the kingdom of God which states the Kingdom of God was offered by Jesus to the Jews and since they did not repent. the result was the establishment of the Kingdom was postponed until His return. in the meantime He established the Church which has nothing in common with the Kingdom. so in this view, the Kingdom is still in the future it will be established visibly on earth during the millennium, and Christ second coming will consist of two separate events. first, the rapture of the church followed by seven years of tribulation, and then Christ will return to establish His Kingdom on earth. this is the predominant view in our day and most Christians assume this is the correct view. but this is a very recent view. in the early Church some of the Church fathers like Irenaeus believed in a pre-millennial position however their millennial position was different than the dispensational premillennialism. the second view which I espouse is that there is no postponement. when Christ came to the earth He came to establish the kingdom of God on earth. this Kingdom is both present and future. on one hand, it is present in a Spiritual form. which is made up of the people who have made Christ their King and live under His rulership. this Kingdom is ever increasing in the world right now as more and more enter into it by conversion. the spiritual nature of the kingdom is brought out in the New Testament luke 17:21, john 18:36. people can only enter into it through the new birth. john 3:3,5. (Jesus's talk with Nicodemus). this Kingdom is present today in the hearts of redeemed people. however it will be fully manifested and established in the second coming of Christ, then it will become a visible rule of Christ on the earth. I also believe that the kingdom will be ushered in by great cataclysmic changes as we get close to the visible second coming of Christ. so on one hand it is here already and on the other hand, it will be fully established in a visible way in the future. the difference between these two views are one puts the kingdom as visible in the future and the other puts it here and now in a spiritual form in the hearts and minds of the redeemed people who are its citizen now. I hope this made the two positions a little clearer even though I know you already know this. again please write more in response to future videos, always enjoy your comments. Lord Bless and talk to you soon.
@@achristianjourney5768 It is good that everyone can see positions and beliefs that we hold. I never get weary hearing the truth from a brother. I believe it is very important to make our positions well known to however many people that can see with their own eyes so they can make a judgement for themselves rather than listen what some pastors say is truth. More important in my estimation though, it does come down to the overall belief and understanding of the grand narrative of scripture. In eternity will it matter who had a better, more complete understanding? No, if we are found in Christ. But this differing of understanding does influence and affect people's living life, and living it to the fullest as God intended for us on earth. We are spiritual beings in a material leg of our eternal being and the lower or trapped spirits in this time take advantage of the compassion and ignorance of the naive. I once met a man, Raphael was his name, and he had a copy of a vert early complete printed Bible. I want to say the date printed in the pages was 1608/1618. He actually let me take it home and I spent countless hours reading over this beautiful piece of history. It included all of the apocrypha but I don't remember it being a Catholic Bible. There are books that have been pulled or redacted by MAN, under the confession that it was by the guiding of the Spirit of God, and so be it if they want to believe that but there are other reasons for not leaving some books in the Canon of scripture If following Jesus Christ, some of these books however, give vision and guidance into the supernatural world of the spirit, and this doesn't go over too well with the megaloaniacs that seek power, authority and control over other people. Hence, the hiding or destruction of texts and ideas that could upset the ability for some of these people to remain parasites on an otherwise healthy organism. How do I know this and how can I say this? I once knew a young man who was caught up to the higher heavens, or brought down to the gates of hell depending on the spirit. I continue to have dreams and visions from God, some 35 plus years ago, that have come to manifestation in this world. And the majority of the "preachers, pastors and priests of today will vehemently deny such things are possible and attempt to convince the simple, the ignorant or the naive that they "rightly divide the word of truth", and this is how you interpret this passage or that passage. Because they read it in a book? Or did they have experiences in their own lives that gives them insight? Yeah, I am highly skeptical of most in the Christian community and I believe God will destroy those who destroy the earth. I believe this will happen as we walk towards the return of our King and Lord Jesus Christ. I hope when their souls encounter me, they will see a great tribulation that seperates the wheat from the chaff, and will repent and confess Jesus Christ as Lord. Because the Kingdom of God is coming down to earth, we are not going up to it. Where is the Kingdom of God? It is within and among you/us.
Amen. The media has a huge effect. I find myself being influenced in my thinking based on what and how much of a certain area of life I am trying to get better in. It is the Spirit that gives life. Through the Spirit, we can subdue Kingdoms to make way for the return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Thanks for the encouragement to keep scripture 1st for how we view things.
Hi Sentinal; unfortunately, our media has become so corrupt that it seems the primary purpose is to indoctrinate rather than give the news. have you noticed in our society most of us have become each other duplicates? if we are on the right our thoughts and ideas are the same. maybe because we listen to the same outlets and develop their outlooks rather than having the facts and drawing our own conclusion. this is why I stop listing to the news, talk radio, and other news outlets. I check the headlines and listen to some people on youtube for commentary because I don't want to arrive at a pre-determined conclusion. I want to know the facts as best as possible but my response should be according to what Christ teaches me. I think the conservative media has had a significant impact on us, we resemble a secular Republican rather than a Christian because we listen to these outlets and we gradually adopt their outlook, point of view, and response instead of becoming more and more like Christ. Just wanted to share these thoughts in the video with friends. as usual, thank you so much for your encouragement and comment. God Bless.
So Nazi German government was ordained by God?
This reply assumes you understand the reason and purpose Jesus Christ was incarnated into our time, and it is to the best of my understanding and ability I share a glimpse of the eternal that YHWH has revealed to me. Some may disagree, but that is the beauty of the Kingdom of God. He shows us grace and mercy to grow and learn new and better understandings of God's Kingdom with time, and discover our place in His Kingdom, and become in Christ, the sons and daughters of God on earth. The Kingdom that is now, and the Kingdom that is to come. To fan into flame that spark of divinity within you, and develop your spiritual gifting for this life, and bring forth the Heaven within. Because when asked by the Pharisees (and we still have Pharisees today, they just call themselves priests or pastors) when the Kingdom of God will come, Jesus replied "The Kingdom of God is not something that can be observed, nor will people say 'here it is or there it is', because the Kingdom of God is within you, (or among you)". Luke 17:20-21 (There is a belief in some sects of Christianity that this is not possible or not a correct interpretation, but I believe they are stuck. It is a correct interpretation, because the Holy Spirit that was in the beginning, is the same today and wanting to reveal itself to the Body of Jesus Christ, in whom I Am), God will reveal. I think many are captured in their spirit and have limited perceptions of Gods Kingdom and how He wants to use His human creation. For whatever reason. The 4 horseman of the apocalypse make their presence seen in the material realm so all can witness it at various points in history and to different lengths of time, and I think we are in one of those points right now. With petty, malevolent spirits occupying the rulers and authorities of today. Their presence doesn't mean you can physically see them, because they are spirit, as God is spirit. At least that is what John on the island of Patmos saw and recorded for all future generations to heed. The end of "The Age", as spoken of by Jesus Christ, is what happened in 70 A.D. with the destruction of the Jewish temple and the ending of the sacrificial system of the Mosaic covenant. Because Christ became the final sacrifice for all of humankind to those who accept Him as the final atonement for sin. Some do not, and the Great commission to spread the good news of the Gospel is what we are trying to do. God is not willing that any shall perish, but many will. To continue to sacrifice the blood of bulls and rams in an attempt to make oneself pure and Holy in Gods sight for the eternal life that awaits all of us, was a relic of a limited revelation of the true character of God. (Made complete in His Son Jesus Christ) The Scriptures collected into the Holy Bible and to an certain extant, other ancient manuscripts have the ability to reveal what is happening in the unseen dimension of our lives through the narrative of stories. The apocalypse recorded in the book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ at the end of our Bible, is a literary style or genre that authors used to express things that have meanings that transcend time and give glimpses into the end of time. They are messages from the realm of the spirit, which each of us has a spark of that divine realm within us, but many do not chose to, or through life circumstances cannot chose to grow in or develop. In regards to the Nazi government, Hitler was an "anti-Christ", and he directed his malice and evil towards the people within the nation of Israel, because the Satan is still trying to destroy not only the descendants of the 12 tribes, but also the rest of those who have been grafted into the eternal tree of life, found in the person of Jesus Christ. It was of a spiritual root. All things we do in life will contribute to chaos or order, which I ascribe as having a spiritual root, and we have free will to contribute to either. Many religions of man have attempted to comprehend this allusive balance that has existed since God created the finite being of man, but there is only one way to understand it. It is through the personification of God in His only Son, Jesus Christ. I see this as a similar occurrence to what has been recorded in the Old Testament of the wanderings of the people known as the nation of Israel, whom God chose to be His human family on earth. Following God brings blessings, disobeying God brings judgement. Sowing and reaping. This again, was still the carnage of the wars in the heavens that are manifesting on earth, and are still occurring today. I have a book I am writing, and some of the excerpts show up here, but it appears the children that are moderating comments are not allowing some of what I write. (Put away your crayons little ones, and meet me before Gods council in the spirit so we may come before YHWH and He can bring a better understanding to us both) Or I'll see you in the war.

Hi Mark; it's the institution of Government that God ordained not human atrocities and abuses. But imagine how societies would be like without any forms of Governmental oversite? thank you so much for writing..
@@achristianjourney5768doesn't say anything about ordained by God only government. Oh this is one of those implications? Romans 13 1 Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. so the English government which we (America) the overthrew? Lawfully ordained by God some say. Why would god allow illegitimate authority and require submission? How are people to know? Seems incredibly dumb, or inept. Especially when the arm of God is the church doesn't do anything.
@@USARMY1682 Because the "church" has become mostly impotent. Having a form of Godliness but denying the power. Systematically the Satan has deceived, "if possible even the very elect". But not all of us. Through, in my opinion, the destructive misinterpretations and teachings of Gods revealed word, and yes this is a major problem within Christian circles. Hitler is quoted as saying, "Tell a lie big enough, repeat it often enough and it will become truth". And this seems to be pretty effective to the pharmaceutically neutered population. Church has become mostly a business that includes Jesus in it's message. "Mankind demands and desires and begs from Christ and have learned no lesson from His awe-inspiring life. They have imitated it, but they have not lived their own lives as He has lived His. His awe-inspiring life shows how every one would have to take their own life into their own hands, faithful to their own essence and their own love". Carl Jung But they do not want to take up their cross, bear it, and await the empowerment from God. They will follow the narrative of the culture, because it's origin is in the spirit, and they are woefully unprepared to counter it from a weakened church. So supernatural law becomes reality, and the atheistic/science only types deny what is happening and look to man for answers. Then government becomes their god. In general, people feel more comfortable to belong to and identify with a group rather than become the whole individual they were intended to become in God's Kingdom. So the model of the church focuses around 1 central person to be the "Executive pastor" and they listen to this persons understanding and belief that "this is what The Word of God says and means" for their entire career. Depending on the pastor, they could be mostly right, but the pastors in my area are all beating the same drum of futuristic, dispensational, evangelistic escapism. A bunch of those reading and interpreting these passages have a 2nd grade, flannel graph explanation that they learned when they were young and haven't grown in Gods Kingdom. Sure they got a diploma from a bible college, but the people that taught them are also influenced by doctrines of man, like John Darbys' creation of the "Rapture". The do not understand the genre of apocalyptic writing and adhere to a dogmatic ideology of the beginning, as recorded in Genesis, and the end, as recorded in Revelation. Because they believe, erroneously, that Gods Kingdom is only something that is going to be after the "church" is raptured off the earth which then God destroys through a 7 year tribulation period. What are we to expect but to see the reaping of a narrow interpretation of Gods word to the majority of the ignorant in the body of Christ? So the reaping begins.
@@sentinaludo1489 let's just get 1 thing very clear. You sir, or really anyone have any real idea what the Bible says. Who even wrote it. Ect. Why did it take 4 centuries for a "canon" Bible? Does the creator of all not know how to make a book? Why do they only use about 30% of available gospels? Not that they book of Thomas, Mary Magdalene, Judas, paint very different pictures of Jesus. But trust what the 12 "biggest followers" said. Sure. That's accurate. Or does thou shalt not kill or slaughter entire cities men women children animals? Bible tells man to do both. The all powerful god has needed to wipe out humanity twice? The all knowing omnipotent god can't get it right? He's either cruel or incompetent. Judge the hairs of my lily white ass. Not to mention you have no idea what the Bible actually says. They basically guessed most of a the dead language of Sanskrit ect from a government manuscript. How do you think that went? Ever seen an English textbook? Hundreds of pages denoting the nuances of the English language where a misplaced comma can change the entire meaning of a sentence. There is no 1 for 1 swap between Sanskrit, ancient Greek, and various forms of dead language to English. It doesn't exist. So the translation from Aramaic or Sanskrit to latin then to English is laughable. It would account for the many discrepancies of the Bible. Or God can't get a story straight huh?
Well said, David!
Hello David, just found your channel, new subscriber here! Here in Australia we have had laws passed which are blatantly evil, I fear for coming generations and the kind of society that will result. 😳
I am delighted and honored that you subscribed, i truly share your concern about oppressive laws and what would become of the next generation. it seems like in these past few years we have witnessed corruption to such an extent that we never thought possible. all the reason more to keep ourselves close to the Lord and be mindful of our spiritual state , pray and inform the next generation. look forward to hear more from you in future videos. May the Lord continually keep and bless you. your brother in Christ David.
@@achristianjourney5768 yes I see everywhere people seemingly desensitised to what is right and wrong. Even some I have known many years. It's like I don't know people any more 😕 I'm sure you have experienced this. I look forward to more videos from you, I find your clear teaching style so relatable, you should have more subscribers!...and thank you David, I'm sure there is much work involved in putting out these videos ! Bless!
Correction- I should have wrote "at His incarnation, Jesus Christ's erchomei was the beginning of the reversal of the downward descent of all mankind". As I understand it, "erchomei" being the original Greek word meaning point in time event, translated into English as "coming". Parousia being another Greek work translated into English as "coming" but it's meaning means more of "presence" or "continuous being". Two words translated into English as the same word, but have different meanings depending upon the context it is used.
The demons know their time is short! Hence the tyranny of the urgent and the everything crisis. All Glory and Majesty and Power goes to our eternal Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He brings real change, in whom we are the sons of God on earth. We have a high priest who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven, who serves in the sanctuary, the true tabernacle set up by the Lord, not by man, which was a copy of the Heavenly temple. He brings the truth of an indestructible life in the order of Melchizedek, who was without genealogy, without mother and without father. Without beginning of days or end of life, of this line we are called. Of this line there are those who enter into it or reflect images of it. But who will answer the call? To be a herald and proclaim, "Get your affairs in order, the Master who had gone away has returned, and He brings with Him the 4 horseman of the apocalypse, to see how we have redeemed our time. How have we used this precious gift of life to tend to the Masters Garden? It is surely not me who created anything. Do we think that because we have earthly riches and bought things, YHWH becomes subservient to us? The time of the hubristic lords has ended, and in this time these obsolete things are disappearing. What is bound on earth is bound in heaven, and the riches of this world has no value in heaven. The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. (Matthew 10:7) It didn't go anywhere. Riches are but landfill upon which empires rise and fall. To which Kingdom do we serve? Which Kingdom do we want to serve? We have a choice. What have we given our life for to accomplish? Who or what has our time been consumed with? Show what you have done with your talents that you have been given and accept what it means to sow and reap. There is more to life than the 5 senses of the flesh. If it has been only in the flesh, and you are still alive, there is still hope. Jesus Christ calls to all who will listen. The kingdom of heaven is within you, and around you, but you will not experience it apart from Jesus. There is only one way to the Father, and that is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ. Ask Him to show you how you can become a disciple and learn what He teaches. His burden is light and His yoke is easy. Ask Him to give you a glimpse of the eternal Kingdom of which I speak. If not, eternal separation from God awaits you. And the cowards run and hide behind technology and a soulless group of people, because in the presence of true power they realize they are nothing.
as usual a lot of thoughtful comments. I sincerely believe that the time is fast approaching when if we want to be faithful to the Lord, it will cost us something. unfortunately, most of us are not ready for this because we never had to. we always felt like we were living in a country where we could be safe and follow the lord as well as our heart's desires, but we are beginning to feel soft persecution for Biblical values. but gradually the time is coming when the weeds and the chaffs are being separated. time to become serious about our walk with the Lord and put Him first now before the storm. Lord bless you as always thank you so much for writing, look forward to hearing from you in the future.
@@achristianjourney5768 So do you then think the fallen angels or demons if you like, have the ability and the authority to overstep their bounds again and impose their will into Gods Kingdom today? Not what they did many cycles of creation back, that was a different world.A different age in which the mind had died, the culture had lost it's way. I understand Jesus Christs return at His erchomei was the beginning of the reversal of the downward descent of all mankind. We are the inheritors of all that was hoped for in times past by those who died searching for a promised land. That is where I am in the Spirit, and with that YHWH has called those who are there, to bring back the message they have received. Like Enoch. Like the Essenes in the caves of Qumran escaping the persecution and destruction of the Jewish Temple in 70 A.D. and the end of the age. I personally do not believe they do, and the Holy Spirit confirms that in me. And so come the Horseman. And will one trample upon a person and leave them a shadow of there former self, or bring back the spoils of war, and rewards thee richly for the acts of obedience? It is sobering for the unprepared. But I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
@@sentinaludo1489 Hi Sentinal; I make a distinction between demons and angels. in the book of Enoch, it highlights that demons are the disembodied spirits of the giants (the pre-flood hybrids) while Angele is a ministering spirit that can take on a fleshly form (the Angeles who went to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah, etc.) I look at the Kingdom of God on earth as an invisible kingdom that is made up of all the elects of God from all nations. this invisible kingdom is expanding until the time of Christ when it will be manifested in its fullness. however, I don't think the fallen Angeles can do anything without the consent of mankind themselves. even before the flood, there may have been an agreement between mankind and the fallen Angeles. possibly some kind of trade. maybe technology in exchange for marrying the daughters of men. because the book of Enoch talks about how these watchers gave science to mankind. so there may have been some kind of agreement between mankind and these watchers. but if that consent was not given to these watchers I wonder if they could have comingled their seed with mankind. these are conjectures on my part but I do think that the same thing may be happening today to some extent. that we may have Hybrids. today Satan works primarily through his proxies on earth but I also lean in the direction that these so-called aliens may be in league with Satan and they may be involved in creating hybrids that look like us and in the future could possibly offer mankind the choice of becoming like them (like a god) that they may try to convince mankind that they were our makers and now its time for mankind to take the next evolutionary steps to become "gods" like them. again some of these ideas are possibilities and opinions we have to wait and see. but I do think that this UFO phenomenon is real and we will hear more about this in the future. just a note I have some of Dr. Michael Heiser's books (the unseen realm, reversing Herman if I remember the name of the books correctly). some of his ideas and thoughts are interesting but some of his theology is off in my estimation. I have seen some videos on RUclips where He is weak on Election and possibly mistaken the idea of Election, especially from a Reform point of view. he also rejects the concept of original sin by referencing some papers he read from an orthodox perspective. he also believes women can be pastors by some reference to Eden!! rather than clear instructions by Apostle Paul. so he does have some good points but he draws some conclusions that are not convincing or theologically sound. sometimes I think he has done such an extensive study of the nearest religions that he tries to fit the Bible in the overall scheme that he has learned from other religions. so I don't agree with everything he says but he does have some good points. as always it's a pleasure to hear from you and look forward to more correspondence in the future. Lord bless you.
@@achristianjourney5768 Thank you for that great insight. I believe it is so very important to hold to a standard of what is truth, that is Jesus Christ revealed in the scriptures, and your unwavering teaching to the principles as recorded in the Holy Scriptures is a blessing for those of us still making the pilgrimage to the eternal state to receive our glorified bodies. I appreciate someone that can add their opinions to the understanding of Gods revealed word as I also enter my thoughts that I hope can shed light and insight into the eternal. God is not done with any of us, and if we believe we have something to offer, this is a great forum to do so. Your life, as I have witnessed, is a testimony to your commitment to the one true Trinitarian God and my respect and trust grows as we walk alongside one another. Even though there is some distance between our homes. I understand that people who were born 2000 years ago had a different understanding of how God communicated His revealed word. People born 2000 years before that had yet still another understanding or comprehension of "God" and how He communicated and worked in the world. There are well meaning, God loving people today that use the book of Genesis, incorrectly in my opinion, as a scientific textbook as an explanation for the creation of the world. Then by extension the book of Revelation as the literal truth that awaits all mankind. It is an APOCALYPSE, a genre of writing. It is not the best way to interpret scripture, but it is "tradition" to believe what has been preached from the mainstream pulpit for the last 100 years is the only way to understand Jesus Christ. This is fine for them, but this is not the God revealed factual truth, it is a belief. The angels that left their abode in Genesis 6, were previously told in stories as the Apkullas of Mesopotamia, where Abraham came from. These stories that had been passed down for God only knows how long between and among civilizations seems to be a progressive revelation of God's character to His human family. I tend to think Abraham's belief in God was molded and shaped by the culture of his upbringing until he came across Melchizedek and YHWH brought another revelation of His true character to us. If we study the rest of our lives, and grow deeper in the spirit, God reveals Himself to us even more. And I believe right now, we need spirit filled followers of Jesus Christ to fight. Fight against this Godless culture, not run away from it and hope we will be whisked away by a fantasy. The battle is in the spirit, and I believe we CAN enter into that, and win. We should pay attention to what is being communicated in our dreams. And when our meat suits wear out, and our souls are ready to depart, or God calls us to the eternal Kingdom that is to come, that may be the "Rapture" that Joseph Darby tried to share. To my best understanding and the people I listen to and study, those who authored the ancient manuscripts thought the world was a flat disc and the world encompassed the lands they traveled to, mainly the middle east. The firmament was a stretched, canvas like dome that covered the world like half a sphere, so that "the ends of the earth" were where their understanding stopped. They didn't comprehend the probably infinite universe. I think there have always been spirits that influence on the earth, divine beings, elohim's as Mr. Heiser sees it. Whether it was the "Nacash" in the garden of Eden, or the sons of God of Genesis 6, or the visitors from the sky the Mesopotamian culture called the Apkullas, there was a rebellion in God's divine creation and that created all sorts of problems that a portion of the people of this creation have been trying to explain. But I am a little skeptical to accept anything that they say, especially if they have a financial interest or political interst in the status quo or believing their interpretation. I am old earth. I believe there is enough scientific evidence to prove that this planet has been around for hundreds of thousands of years if not more. We are not the first humans to have populated earth after a cataclysm reset the cycle of creation. So it is speculative to say almost anything, but God gives us His Holy Spirit that bridges these ages and can carry us in the spirit to these times. I know, it happens to me. And I think the end of an age is upon us. Another cataclysm as evidenced by the changes going on in the "heavens" (ie the rapidly shifting magnetic poles, the weakening magnetic field of the earth, the decreasing strength of the magnetosphere). All these things indicate a change is upon us and has been upon us. So do we sit back and go to our prayer closet and hope? Or do we ask do be put into the battle to the extent of our abilities and gifting and bring God's Kingdom to earth? That is what scripture reveals. Heaven coming down to us, not us going up to heaven. In the twinkling of an eye is not a one time event called the rapture. The earth is not going to be destroyed. Maybe it will get the crapped kicked out of it through another conflagration, but it will continue to spin on. Probably with a lot less people on it because they have rejected the Son of God. But, not a hair on our heads will be harmed is what Jesus has told me. Exciting times!
thanks again for writing insightful comments. I agree with everything you say. I wholeheartedly agree with the idea that the Bible was never intended to be a scientific book even though there are things and places where people can take things in a "scientific" way. it's interesting you mentioned dreams, it seems like in a dream state our conscious mind becomes passive and it becomes easier to "receive" illumination or communication from the Lord. I think our conscious mind blocks intrusion from the spirit realm, but in a dream state, it becomes passive. the creation narrative I lean toward the idea that God took a "dead planet" that was barren, empty, and dark with a thick atmosphere that light could not penetrate through and how God took this planet and made it a habitable planet with plants, animal and human beings in it. but how long ago I don't know the Bible doesn't say. i don't lean toward the idea that this is the creation of the universe account so I am not dogmatic about this understanding. some people are so dogmatic about this that they think any other explanation is wrong. I think there is room for a variety of opinions on this. i think you are right about the cataclysm that is happening in the "heavens" being real but the media does not talk about it so most people don't know what really is going on we may be going through some major changes in the near future. about rapture. the way I look at the rapture is in the second coming of Christ the dead will rise and we would get caught up in the air to accompany the Lord as he is coming to rule and overthrow the beast kingdom. I don't agree with a pre-trib. rapture. if we were to use dispensational language I will be a post-trip rapture person. my goodness, I wrote a lot hopefully you be able to read this. Lord bless you as always and look forward to your future comments.
Wow! Thank you for speaking the truth!
Thank you so much Shelsey for your kind words. May the Lord continually bless and keep you.
I'm glad Religion is on the decline. I certainly hope Christian influence goes away before the end of the century.
I apologize for not writing earlier, I am sorry that you feel this way, maybe in a few sentences you can tell me why you think this way. I am just curious. thank you so much for watching and I wish you all the best.
@@achristianjourney5768 it's okay.👍 Don't worry about it.
@@Gfish17 thank you so much for your reply and wish you all the best.
@@achristianjourney5768 I will tell you how I came to the conclusion Christianity and religion across the board is false but at the moment of writing this I'm at work.
@@Gfish17 that would be great
Thank you once again for such an insightful talk to help me really stop and think about the struggles we are having in society today. I appreciate your ability to be able to record this and let God speak through you in a continuous sitting. I'm not as efficient at connecting many concepts and ideas into a coherent and concise insight, or to give a glimpse into the eternal yet, but hopefully God willing I will find my words in public. I find it easier to sort out my thoughts in writing first, then distill the really impactful thoughts that I sense Jesus Christ is at the controls of my life, and not me. Or so I hope :-). I immediately went to the Tower of Babel in my spirit. Like you said, Scripture does not change, I agree. Which is why the Bible is an eternal book. "And you Peter, upon this rock the Gates of Hell will not prevail' is an offensive metaphor to how we should be viewing this conundrum we are in. Not cowering and afraid to speak the truth. I speak before YHWH and His heavenly council to bring my petitions, and let the Holy Spirit bring the change, hopefully in me 1st. Not even considering the land of Canaan for this worldwide problem, within the church however, there are spirits at work, "anti-Christ" if you will, that create ideology and dogma which leads to deception. Pharisees and Sadducee's of today they might be likened to. I'm not speaking of the entire church body of Christ, that would be hell, but I discern there are key elements that are still of the kind that Martin Luther proclaimed against when he spoke out against the then current Pope and Papacy and began the Protestant revolution of the church in the 1500's. "YOU are the anti-Christ spoken about in the Bible". Back then, most people believed what the church was teaching was the inerrant Word of God, as disseminated by the Vicar of Christ, the Pope and the business of the Papacy. Galileo was almost crucified for his heretical belief that the earth orbited around the sun. Because that "idea" was not what the church ordained as "truth". We all need to study and show ourselves approved as rightly dividing the word of truth, but what the Holy Spirit speaks to me is, the church has gotten influenced by man created doctrine that has slipped into the hermeneutics of how to integrate the word of God and it's meaning for us today. The Bible was written for us, NOT to us. Very important concept to understand. Yes, great trials and tribulations are coming, and great trials and tribulations have happened. I think what happens is over time, as the stories in the Old Testament show us, as people fall away from Gods instructions, God brings judgement. This is where we are right now, and the Church's are in the cross-hairs, and probably this is a good thing. God has been and is refining His church, the body of Christ. I believe we are at an amazing time to be alive. We are where God has each of us to bring His eternal truths to the lost and the hopeless. To those who are called, and to those who are chosen. But not everyone who is called is chosen, and not everyone who is chosen is called, because they were implemented or chosen by MAN. And man, like many of the "pillars of the Church" I have walked along side in this life, are functioning and operating completely in the 5 senses of the flesh. Devoid of the Holy Spirit. There are trained and ordained "Pastors", leaders and pillars of the church, that teach that the only interpretation of the Garden of Eden story includes a literal talking snake, or the "Let us create humankind in OUR image" refers to the Trinity, or the earth was created in 6 literal days, or the Book of Revelation, a writing genre known as an apocalypse, is a literal epoch of what everyone is going to see. A dangerous statement perhaps, pertaining to the state of the church, but it is what I see. An Essene out in the caves of Qumran with his books, protecting what I can of what God has entrusted me with. Because Jesus Christ said to me when I asked Him, "When will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are going to be fulfilled"? (Mark 13) And I left to the wilderness and sought shelter and protection from the coming great tribulation because I saw what Jesus warned us about. This was the end of the age that occurred in 70 A.D. Since that time, Jesus Christ's parousia, or presence, has been reversing the downward fall of humankind, but not every body wants to be saved or see the truth. Thankfully by the grace of God we who are in Christ are redeemed and will be with Him for eternity. But that doesn't change what His plan is for us right now. Go out, subdue the earth and replenish it. Spread the good news of the Gospel to show many the way to eternal life. We in Christ are walking in it right now, towards our eternal reward. Do not sit back and believe that everything on the earth is going to be destroyed and the church is going to be miraculously taken away before any hardships or trials or even death come our way. It is here now for many, and the 4 horseman of the apocalypse are still out upon the earth since before anyone can know or say. The walls in the funnel of time disappear when the Revelation of Jesus Christ becomes a reality. The problems facing our world cannot and will not be corrected apart from God. "Listen, I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we will be changed". 1 Corinthians 15:51 Sometimes is is not what we are or were expecting. Change happens in the Spirit. Hebrews 11:33 "Through faith these men subdued kingdoms". That is what we as the body of Christ needs to do right now. Subdue through love. I need to work on that aspect. It is the Spirit that gives life, and that is where we need to engage the enemy, for those of us called to war in the heavenly realms, and bring our Fathers Kingdom to earth. "Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Sentinal 7 "Great Spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds" Albert Einstein
thank you so much for writing Sentinal; as always you bring lots of good points to the conversation. many good points regarding the church and where we are. I always enjoyed our conversations and miss our talks. please continue writing and let us know your thoughts on the varieties of the subjects we discuss here, not only for my benefit but also others who read your comments. as always may the Lord be with you and guide you as you try to be sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit.
@@achristianjourney5768 As I understand it, I hold a minority viewpoint from the current thinking and belief of most of the "Earthly Church" leaders of today. Most people accept what they are told and what the 5 senses indicate is reality. I think this has produced, in general, a weak, complacent and ill informed church, unable to discern the spirit of the time, and the proper direction we should be moving in this cycle of creation. Maybe it is just a result of the gifting of those in ministry right now and their interpretation of what God is saying to them, and so be it. Strong men breed prosperity and wealth, wealth and prosperity tend to breed weak men. Listening to basically 1 point of view of an interpretation of scripture for 10 or 15 or 20 years can't be healthy. "Upon this Rock, I will build my church" Christ said. "And the Gates of Hell will not prevail". But the theological messaging of the current time seems to believe hell will prevail on earth, but the church will be saved by a doctrine called the "rapture", then the earth will be destroyed and all those who rejected Jesus Christ. Thank you Joseph Darby. But I don't think that is the best way to interpret and understand scripture. One day, in the twinkling of an eye, everything will change. I believe this, I lived through this type of change, and maybe that can be called a rapture. That which is old and obsolete is passing away. "Behold, I make all things new". (Not all new things). I believe those not in the body of Christ are passing away, but they can be saved, which is our commission. "And what we have said is even more clear if another priest like Melchizedek appears, one who has become a priest not on the basis of a regulation as to his ancestry but on the basis of the power of an indestructible life". Hebrews 7:15 Job 38:6-7 "On what were the earth's foundation set, or who laid it's cornerstone - while the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy" So, before the foundation of the earth was set, God had a family that rejoiced at it's creation! Hmmmmm. So, before the earth, there was another creation? Yep! Or Psalm 82 "God takes His stand in the congregation of the divine, among the gods (elohims) He judges. Singular God (Elohim) judging plural gods (elohims). I don't understand these to be wooden or metal idols. Not a deal breaker on the grace and salvation that Jesus Christ brings to all who believe and trust He is who is says He is, but it does make me wonder why the church leaders in mass tend to default to the escapist position toward the end of our age. "We are giants put on this earth to rid it of evil" Jack Horn And in Christ, that is what I intend to do in the spirit, and they will never see it coming!
Hi Santinal Udo: I apologize for not writing earlier we had so many things happen this past week that I literally had no time for anything else. if I ever don't write back within two days it usually means that I have been overwhelmed by other matters. again I apologize, please never feel like I do not want to correspond. as always you make some good points, you mentioned that today most of us accept things without thinking for ourselves which I think it's true. we depend on our institutions in this case our churches to tell us "the truth" and we accept their opinion as fact. most of us don't read or study for ourselves to see whether these things are so. so unfortunately this is where we are. also you mentioned about one view of the interpretation of scriptures for years without considering other points of view. this is also true because we get to a place where we think any other point of view can not be correct and usually pastors are trained in one school of theology and they try to protect the flock by only teaching that point of view. you also mentioned the "rapture" in today's predominant theology is dispensationalism which primarily teaches a pre-trib. rapture of the Church. for most people, this is the absolute fact and they would never listen to any other point of view. this again is an unfortunate thing. but if you look at most prophecy teachers on you-tub they mostly believe in the pre-trib rapture which in turn makes the followers think this must be the absolute truth. regarding psalm 82 let's talk more about that in near future. as we speak one of my sons is calling me to a task urgent of course!! again let's explore that psalm and also the "sons of God" in near future. as always give my regards to the family. with brotherly love David
Good to hear from you again. I pray God brings full healing to you and your family. Very prescient topic. In my soul, I also see the approaching of the closing of an age. Not the end as is commonly preached from the businesses that call themselves "Church". For many, this will be eternally sorrowful. Because this means eternal separation from the creator of all things. For others, this will bring the fulfillment of what we have put our faith, hope, and trust in. That is the risen, Glorified Savior and ruling King of this world, Jesus Christ. But for others, it will be horrific. As the judgement of God descends upon the planet, and if that time were not shortened, none would survive. Men's hearts will be failing them from fear for the things that are coming upon the planet. Just as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the days of the Son of man. THIS IS IT. In that context, you do not want to be the one who is taken. And we are alive to see this epic, pivotal moment in Gods eternal realm. We shall not all sleep, but we will be changed. We are all created in Gods image, but through the inevitable churning of the wheels of time, humankind's memory falters. Like Martin Luther correctly admonished the Catholic Pope and Papacy, "YOU are the Anti-Christ written of in the Holy Scriptures". God once again is separating the wheat from the chaff. I suspect we will witness a great reaping of souls in our lifetime. But God works all things together for good, His good and our good. And the fallen elohim's of God's creation, I understand, are the principalities and powers of the air that are animating the soulless meat suits in our government and the people in the rest of the "land of Canaan". Which brings us to the days in which we live. "My people perish for lack of vision". That is CORRECT vision, as recorded and left to us in the Holy Scriptures, into or unto our personal salvation through the shed blood of Jesus Christ on the cross. It is time to speak about the Kingdom of God, and share the good news of the Gospel, because God is not willing that any should perish. The time is short. I see God transitioning me into another role in my business and in my spiritual life, and I hope I am up to the task that I am asking YHWH to give me. That I may not falter in my message of bringing a glimpse into the eternal Kingdom of Heaven. To encourage to discouraged, to help the widows and orphans, to be a Sentinel to those who are in the Kingdom that is now, seeking the Kingdom that is to come. To show destruction and death to the arrogant and proud who are destroying God's creation and oppressing His people. Real change will not happen because of the will of man, but by the moving of God in the spirit, and this, the enemy has nothing that can stand against. And they will never see it coming! May we all seek Gods grace for our failures, His love to replace our discouragement, and His power to fulfill His original plan for His human family. That is to go out, subdue the earth and replenish it. Create the Eden I put in your hearts. And to that end, that is what I am trying to bring as a light of Jesus Christ!
thank you so much for writing, it's good to hear from you. yes we are living in interesting times on the next two videos i want to talk about how we are going to a "mono" culture as the result of globalism. in these days we want to built ourselves up spiritually so we can stand firm. I wish you the best in regard to your spiritual life and activities as well as your business. i know that whatever you decide to do it would be well. Lord bless you and your wonderful family.
