ARE WE THERE YET? PART TWO

“Are we there yet?”

“Shut up, I’ll tell you when we are there, so be quiet, you’ve only asked that 1000 times already…”

“Why?”

“Because I said so, that’s why…”

In other words, we really got no answer, just an “I’ll tell you when we get there” sort of vague and nondescript answer. Maybe there is a reason for it we don’t fully understand. Maybe the future, although known, is fluid, can be stretched. Maybe it’s based upon events happening, rather than exactly when?

“Watch the signs on the side of the road, you’ll know when we are close, OK?”

“Because I said so…” Remember that reply from Mom and Dad?? Ok, so let’s watch the signs, but then, but WHAT SIGNS? Like the creation of the New World Order? Like the technology for the Mark of the Beast? Like maybe the formation of the nation of Israel? Like the birth and rise of America-Babylon? Like the rise of Russia to the north of Israel? And don’t forget the rise of China and the Kings of the East. And that knowledge shall increase by leaps and bounds and people will travel over the whole earth. And don’t forget the comets, you know, those heavenly messengers that have already told us the time is close. Like, you know, Comet LoveJoy, that kissed the Sun and survived? Kiss the Son and you will survive says Psalm Two. You might want to look up the word kiss and see what it really means.

“You mean like that Jesus?”

Like maybe smaller things? Little tell-tale signs? Like the totally unknown Susan Boyle in Britain’s Got Talent? You know, she sang the swan song for the human race that billions of people around the world heard? Or like Terri Schiavo being murdered by our government with no compassion under the law? You mean like maybe she was us, and as we murdered her, the Lord might decide UNDER THE LAW to do the same without compassion and without mercy?After all, mighty Babylon does fall you know.

 

Or like Israel saying in three major newspapers that America-Babylon betrayed her in 2007? Like Obama getting the Nobel Peace Prize when he is a man of war?  Or the court’s ruling the 10 commandments out of the schools? Like Roe vs. Wade 40 years ago, with 40 being the time of testing? Or the obvious and rising war against the Christians. And while we are at it, we could add in the WAR on Christmas, for, after all, it does have a “sort of” Christian theme to it – even if remote. You know, little things mean a lot. They add up.

“Now you are getting it! Now you are beginning to see it…” OK, Lord, what else? The reply was short, to the point: “Study it out for yourself, study to show yourself approved, then you will know what the signs are. When they all come together, you are close, at the door.

So if we add in all of those little things with all of those BIG THINGS, like the Damascus operations, maybe we really are “ALMOST THERE”. But we should not forget that the Lord gives visions and signs and prophecies to others as well, not just Christians or Jews, but everyone – pouring out all of that as we approach the end of time and the destruction of world civilization. One such person is known as the Boar prophet who gave stunning prophecies long ago, and like No-Eyes, they are all coming true.  And that brings us to something people need to know if they do not – Nelson Mandela is near death, and that SIGN along with the war drums of the Middle East that say “ALMOST, ALMOST, ALMOST”.  From Christian Forums:

Boer Prophet (1900’s) of South Africa – Prophecy Coming True!?

---

Undoubtedly this guy had the gift of prophecy and his prophecies came true. Take it or leave it.

http://www.blogsouthafrica.net/?p=38…ion=share-this

“LIST OF PREDICTIONS
Prophecies from 1899 until his death in 1926:
* The outcome of the Boer War.
* The Great ‘Flu epidemic of 1918.
* England’s loss of all her colonies.
* Independence for Ireland.
* The atomic disaster at Chernobyl on April 26 1986.
* Lady Di’s death The divorce and tragic death of “a beautiful English Lady in a car accident who would be mourned by the whole world.”
* England will be struck by seven terrible plagues when World War 3 is at hand.
* Civil war in Bosnia.
* Dr HF Verwoerd, former Prime Minister, will die at the hand of a close friend.
* The release of Nelson Mandela by ex-President FW de Klerk.
* The Necklace Murders by blacks against blacks
* South Africa will be governed by a black government.
* Japan will be destroyed by earthquakes.
* Ethnical violence in Russia and Europe
* Racial violence will explode worldwide at the turn of the century and start World War III, in which Germany and America will fight side by side.
* Laser weapons?: It is a chilling experience to read about his predictions in 1920 of this coming Third and Final War at the beginning of the 21st century when the armies of the world will use what he called “terrible electrical rays that sow death and destruction from above and below, and soak the earth in blood”.”

“The World (especially England, France and USA

America and England will become bankrupt and full of debts.

England will be totally annihilated, even their ground will burn away as a Russian-led invasion will invade Europe through Turkey and use terrible weapons.

The invasion will be stopped in France by German-American forces. Mr. van Rensburg actually made a remark that Germany will receive new ‘ground-breaking’ technology from America that they (the Germans) will use to defeat the Russian invasion; the USA will be unable to respond in a timely manner because of a severe attack on their troops, ground and finances.

Mr. van Rensburg also indicated that the trouble for South Africa will be much shorter lived when compared to other countries also less troublesome, as the Lord will send His power and blessing causing South Africa to be a safe-haven for Christians from all over the world.”

 

And then this:

 

RE: the Boer prophet, ‘SEER’ van Rensburg

---

There seems to be some confusion regarding the death of a black man and his lying in state on Church Square. Prior to this event, he tells his friend, Boy Mussmann in 1916:

“A time will come when I will be very much in the news again. During that time I see we are still fighting amongst each other, then suddenly it will be over and we will have a black government. Then the last, but most intense struggle will begin for the Afrikaner…”

And on the morning of the 8th September 1925 he told his daughter, Anna, that he sees a black being released from prison in the distant future, visit Russia, and on his return the country will be thrown into chaos under his rule. (This could be either Mandela or Mbeki). However, it is only after the violent death of a black leader and a massive strike cripples the country that real trouble starts.

The black leader will lie in state on Church Square in Pretoria, while people will flock there in their thousands to ‘pay their last respects.’ Nicolaas said: “The body of the king (black leader) is placed in a glass coffin and he lies in state on Church Square, Pretoria, for seven days. Mourners come from all over the world to pay homage to this king. Nobody worked for seven days, for people moved past the coffin day and night, fell on it and wept bitterly and could not be consoled for seven days.

On the eighth day he is buried in Heroes’ Acre (A special place in the old cemetary in Pretoria reserved for statesmen). Nicolaas (Seer) says: “I see a coffin being lowered into a grave. Fires emerge but one great fire emerges in front. Naked people appear.”

This tells of violence and civil war erupting with the burial and the Boer nation will also stand naked, stripped of everything and experience dreadful oppression…”

Is it true? Will it come to pass as he claimed it would? Much already has, but if Mandela does die, a lot of articles are now coming out of South Africa that the whites are scared to death of a huge “killing field” that begins right after the 7 days are over. This in turn triggers what appears to be the end days – days of war, famine and ruin.

 

And here is another “little thing” that might become huge:

 

Washington rejects restriction on honeybee-killing garden pesticide despite evidence of its deadliness.

Seems that Washington is going totally insane. Not that we did not know that, but the senility is growing to a total comatose collapse. But then, that was also in Bible prophecy. So it does seem that the END DAYS are closing in all around us and so very few are prepared for it. ARE WE THERE YET?

And here is another little thing:

Bipartisan proposal to keep student loan rates low faces uncertain prospects as Reid objects

Now it is interesting to me that we can give TRILLIONS to the bankers but our own children can go whistle Dixie. Our future, that is, if we had one. “We would have healed Babylon but she would not be healed.” But it goes to show just how corrupt, greedy and evil this system has become, and what our so-called leaders really do think, something of course the non-existent “Protocols” of the Elders of Sion (Mystery), said they would use to destroy Capitalism and bring in the COMPUTERIZED DIGITAL MARK OF THE BEAST. So then we have another sign, do we not? The total and utter destruction of the American economy and the middle class! The war on capitalism is full speed ahead. We just passed that sign back a ways, but does anyone recognize it?

And then again, we cannot help our children but we can pour billions of aid to the Moslem Brotherhood that wants to destroy us, and our children. And of course prophecy says they will. ARE WE THERE YET? Almost. Yet in a little while, the vision may tarry, but it will come. It will not tarry much longer. You see, the American people are the real enemy here, no one else. Here is another “little proof” that you might want to know all about:

Why is this story being censored?

UK stops all smart meter installations

News censored in the US

“From YouTube commentary:

This video series shows the Commons Select Committee enquiry into the UK Smart Meter roll-out held on Tuesday 23rd April 2013. Witnesses appearing to give evidence to the Committee in the first session include Dr Elizabeth Evans and Mike Mitcham from Stop Smart Meters! (UK), alongside Dr Jill Meara, representing Public Health England, and Dr John Swanson, from the Biological Effects Policy Advisory Group for the Institute of Engineering and Technology.

The representatives from Stop Smart Meters! (UK) share their concerns about adverse health effects from wireless smart meters due to the pulsed microwave radiation that is emitted 24/7 by these meters, up to 190,000 pulses a day – acute effects (insomnia, headaches, nausea, anxiety and depression, fatigue and memory/concentration problems) and chronic effects (including increased risk of cancer, infertility, dementia, immune system dysfunction, damage to fetuses); environmental damage from wireless smart meters – RF radiation affecting bees, plants, trees, birds etc and the inherent energy-inefficiency of wireless technology: cybersecurity problems – leaving homes and communities vulnerable to hacking of their smart meters; privacy issues – concerning the masses of real-time data on energy usage collected by the utility company which gives a detailed picture of family life inside a home with a smart meter, who will have access to that data, and how that data will be used; and the specter of higher bills resulting from smart meters – as has been the experience in Canada where 80% of Smart Meter users complain of higher bills within a year of installation, often more that 50% higher.”

And of course over in Russia the use of microwaves is banned because it changes your food’s molecular structure over to something the body cannot really recognize as food, but it’s OK here. Like Fluoride. It’s a toxic poison, but it’s OK in your drinking water and toothpaste. But don’t swallow your tooth paste cause if you do, well, you gotta call the poison control center and get your stomach pumped. Why? And let’s not forget Monsanto and GM foods! Great for you, didn’t you know? And here is another little item you might want to look into:

 

80% of Pre-Packaged Foods in America Are Banned in Other Countries

By Babble.com | Shine Food – Mon, Jun 24, 2013 9:51 AM EDT

Why? Mommy? Why Daddy? “Shut up, eat your food”. But is it really food? And then this:

 

Record 23,116,441 households on food stamps

“The number of American households on food stamps reached a new record high in March, according to new data released by the Agriculture Department.”

But what kind of food? Good question. Just because you are paranoid does not mean they are not after you. Of course, if you eat all of this and you get sick, then the medical profession can give you all sorts of drugs to keep you going. That way they get rich, you get poor and tired, too tired to raise a fuss and protests too much. So you die broke.

It really does seem like the HOPI prophecies are also coming true, also pointing to “ARE WE THERE YET?”  Especially the concepts of GM foods and how all of this will backfire and cause great harm:

 

Species Alteration: Is GMO Rewiring our DNA?

byChristina Sarich
June 25th, 2013

“New studies in cell research are bringing up some alarming new questions concerning GMOs, and one of them in particular makes liver failure or cancer seem like child’s play compared to the garish possibilities that arise when we start to look at how genetically modified foods likely affect our DNA.”

Maybe that’s why the Lord said we should strive to become Born Again, so He would protect us and our DNA from all of this alteration. Just a thought.

So then, more little signs you might want to chew on, also just for thought:

TPP: Secret Negotiations Underway To Control The Worlds Food Supply

Why would they want to do that? Would it have anything to do with the Georgia Guide Stones and population reduction and absolute control over everything? Would the UN really want to do that? Or the rich men?

WND EXCLUSIVE

New Iran president thanks ‘messiah’ for victory

Anticipates coming prophet to conquer for Islam, kill all infidels.

The rise of the Islamic Messiah. Could this be another sign? Why now? ARE WE THERE YET?

And this from Raiders news update:

US Congress Demands Progress On Advanced Biometric ID System
In May, a Government Accountability Office report found the pilot program, aimed at providing biometric identification for security clearance at port facilities, had significant difficulties, including flawed planning and ineffective data collection capabilities. GAO recommended against using the program as a model for any future biometric efforts. Panel members pointed out that they had implemented programs that had been effective for their agencies, or else had been whipsawed by advancing technology. Colleen Manaher, executive director of planning, program analysis and evaluation at Customs and Border Protection, pointed to her agency’s Secure Electronic Network for Travelers Rapid Inspection (SENTRI) cards; the bi-lateral NEXUS Canadian/U.S. cross-border biometric card, the Global Entry expedited traveler card and other examples of her agency’s biometric efforts.”

Well so much for privacy and on to positive ID and the Mark. Is it possible, even if remote, that Psalm Two is actually telling the truth? Or that Daniel was NOT smoking pot by the great river Euphrates or eating hallucinogenic mushrooms? Or that Jeremiah and Isaiah actually did hear from the Lord? Is it possible? Of course, if we were to admit that, we would have to admit other sections of the Holy Book, and that might open up a can of worms the world does not want to see opened?

But perhaps it is all going to be opened even if we don’t like it, for example, the prophecies of Jeremiah concerning America AND RULER AGAINST RULER:

Colorado secede? Counties weigh exit plan to form state of ‘North Colorado’

Colorado secede? It sounds implausible, but the idea of counties withdrawing from one state to form a new one isn’t impossible. But some big hurdles – like the US Constitution – make it very difficult”

So where does it all end? ARE WE THERE YET? ALMOST.

And then we have this one, interesting on the timing of all of this – the signs appear to be getting closer together, like they do when you are entering a town or city.

Obama Requests 15,000 Russian Troops For “Upcoming” Disaster

By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers

An unsettling report prepared by the Emergencies Ministry (EMERCOM) circulating in the Kremlin today on the just completed talks between Russia and the United States in Washington D.C. says that the Obama regime has requested at least 15,000 Russian troops trained in disaster relief and “crowd functions” [i.e. riot control] be pre-positioned to respond to FEMA Region III during an unspecified “upcoming” disaster.

According to this report, this unprecedented request was made directly to Minister Vladimir Puchkov by US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Director Janet Napolitano who said these Russian troops would work “directly and jointly” with her Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), part of whose mission is to secure the continuity of the US government in the event of natural disasters or war.

Important to note, this report says, is that FEMA Region III, the area Russian troops are being requested for, includes Washington D.C. and the surrounding States of Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia, “strongly suggesting” that the Obama regime has lost confidence in its own military being able to secure its survival should it be called upon to do so….

…According to one Federal Security Services (FSB) bulletin on their continued debriefing of Snowden, and analysis of the information he has provided Russian intelligence officers, his father, Lonnie Snowden, was an officer in the US Coast Guard during the 11 September 2001 attacks on the United States who had “direct knowledge” of the true events that occurred and whom the real perpetrators were…”

So then one might want to ask, ARE WE THERE YET? And the reply keeps coming back, “SOON, ALMOST, CLOSE AT HAND, EVEN AT THE DOORS. Even at the doors.”

“Watch the SIGNS”

“When you see ALL OF THESE THINGS coming to together…”

Crowd Watches as Man Beaten Unconscious Outside Belmont CTA Station

And the love of many grows cold…just another sign…

And finally this:

Obama To Force Chaplains To Perform Gay Marriages

June 27, 2013

David Barton tells Glenn Beck that Obama will use the DOMA ruling to force military chaplains to perform gay weddings and compel Central American governments to legalize same-sex marriage.

Do you think we might be in trouble? Comments please!!! It helps to know this is all worthwhile…

ARE WE THERE YET?

Remember when you were little in the back seat of the car and you would say “Are we there yet?” And the reply was usually, “in a little while”. So one might be asking the Lord “Are we there yet?” And the reply has always been “soon” or “in a little while”.

The vision of Damascus becoming a ruinous heap will surely come, it will not tarry, it will come. ARE WE THERE YET? It seems we are always very close but oh, so far away – like this headline:

Russia evacuates Tartus, also military, diplomatic personnel from Syria. High war alert in Israel.

“Shortly after the DEBKA aired a special video on the Syrian war’s widening circle, Moscow announced Wednesday June 26, that the evacuation which had begun Friday of all military and diplomatic personnel from Syria was now complete, including the Russian naval base at Tartus.

“Russia decided to withdraw its personnel because of the risks from the conflict in Syria, as well as the fear of an incident involving the Russian military that could have larger consequences,” said a defense ministry official in Moscow. He stressed that a 16-ship naval task force in the eastern Mediterranean remains on post and arms shipments, including anti-air weapons, would continue to the Syrian government in keeping with former contracts.

In another sign of an impending escalation in Syria, the Israeli Golan brigade staged Wednesday an unannounced war maneuver on the Golan, attended by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and top army chiefs. In London, Prime Minister David Cameron called the government’s National Security Council into session in Downing Street on Syria. Opposition leader Ed Milliband was invited to attend the meeting, a custom observed only when issues of the highest security importance are discussed.”

The “hooks in the jaws” of Ezekiel are being firmly set. Notice the comment, “in keeping with former contracts”. We could also add “In keeping with former TREATIES”. So it would seem that we could almost be there does it not?

Now we know that 2017 is a key year in the timeline of modern Israel, being the end of 120 years from 1897 when the first Jewish Congress met to lay down the concept of what is now modern Israel. It is also a 50 year jubilee from 1967 and the Six Day War. Now when one takes a close look at the Six Day War it appears to be a pattern of the 6000 year doctrine – perhaps a reminder for an apostate world that indeed God really is speaking to the human race?

Remember when Jesus gave us a parable of the Fig Tree and told us that only those who had eyes to see could see and the rest of the world could not. Seems odd then that Psalm 49 says that the Lord would open some DARK SAYING upon the harp. In other words, right after Israel became a nation; THE FIG TREE, that God said He would open up the dark saying of the FIG TREE PARABLE so the ones who had eyes to see would KNOW WHAT ALL OF THAT WAS ABOUT.

Now in 1947 the UN mandate came into being, and 70 years later (a generation) is 2017. Is all of this just coincidence? Or could we ask Papa, “are we there yet?” And He  might reply “Soon”, or “Almost”.

And then we have this headline, which does not bode well for America-Babylon. The HIGH PRIESTS OF BABYLON HAVE NOW SPOKEN, FROM NEWSMAX:

“The Supreme Court today ruled the Defense of Marriage Act was unconstitutional.

The Court also dismissed the appeal calling for the reinstatement of California’s Proposition 8 banning gay marriage; same-sex marrige will now be legal in that state.”

From Drudge:

Court strikes down Defense of Marriage Act...
'DOMA singles out class of persons deemed by State entitled to recognition and protection to enhance their own liberty'...
Scalia dissent: 'Diseased root: an exalted notion of the role of this court in American democratic society'...

SCALIA: Kennedy Has Declared Us 'Enemies of the Human Race'...
ALITO: 'Constitution Does Not Guarantee the Right to Enter Into a Same-Sex Marriage'...

OBAMA: I won't force churches to conduct gay weddings...

PENTAGON EXTENDS BENEFITS TO GAY SERVICE SPOUSES...

National Cathedral Rings Bells To Celebrate...

Apostasy reigns. Mass confusion in Babylon!!! The High Priests have spoken. Marriage is out, anything goes, MOCK GOD, KILL THE CHRISTIANS. “WE WILL NOT HAVE THIS MAN RULE OVER US”. Ok then, Satan has taken full control!!

So now the prophecies of Paul in Romans are coming to pass, and this nation is mocking God in almost every way it can. “Are we there yet?” And the reply must assuredly be “ALMOST“. Marriage is not marriage anymore and maybe soon outlawed altogether according to Bible prophecy. So is “CAL-E-FORNICATEIA soon going to experience something dire? The question becomes HOW LONG before the Lord owes Sodom and Gomorra an apology? “Not Long”. Are we there yet?

And then we have this: from the Extinction Protocol:

“June 26, 2013 – ARIZONA – A ridge of high pressure will cause elevated temperatures across most of the Western United States, from Arizona and California, northward to the US/Canada border.  This also may bring the first monsoon storms to the region as this abnormally large ridge of high pressure takes hold. It’s that time of the year again, where a hot desert meets the Summer. Temperatures in the 100s across Phoenix will turn to 115+, with 120+ along the Colorado River Valley as a ridge of high pressure builds in the area. This ridge will be very large, bringing temperatures 15-20 degrees higher than normal for Arizona, California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, New Mexico, and Utah.  Other areas like Montana, and Wyoming may also be in the outer fridges of the heatwave ridge. With that heat will bring monsoonal moisture into play, California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah may see the first monsoonal thunderstorms of the season with this event. More information will be given as the data is compiled, but if in these regions, prepare for increased heat and humidity by the end of the week and into this weekend.  There are indications this lasts through next week as well. –Weather Space”

Are we there yet? “Almost”. But maybe we need temps in 130’s or more before the comatose citizens of America-Babylon wake up that something really is happening to the world. Or is this just the “new normal”? But then how will they explain what really is going to be happening? Will it be the NEW NEW NORMAL? THE NEW MEGA NORMAL?  Climate change means weather change means stealth famine that is not so stealthy anymore. Corn is our area was planted three weeks late, and it is not doing well. Many fields left not planted at all – ARE WE THERE YET?

Intensified eruptions reported at Alaska’s   two volcanoes by The   Extinction Protocol

June 26, 2013 – ALASKA – Two Alaskan volcanoes that began minor eruptions weeks ago are showing their strongest seismic activity yet, emitting small amounts of lava and ash along with smoke plumes, the Alaska Volcano Observatory said Tuesday. The observatory warned of more vigorous activity with the Pavlof and Veniaminof volcanoes, both on the Alaskan Peninsula — though that will likely just mean more ash. Pavlof, a snow-covered, cone-shaped mountain, has been erupting since early May. While its activity since then has waxed and waned, seismic activity increased since Tuesday morning and the volcano has started continuously shaking, said David Schneider, a geophysicist with the U.S. Geological Survey. “

So it appears that we could add into the mix more and more volcanoes that have decided to all smoke Havana cigars all at the same time and are laughing at us. And then again, earthquake activity appears to be getting anomalous along with the Sun! Could it be like Saint Nick? That everytime the Earth and Sun laugh their bellies roll like a bowl full of Jello? Anything is possible you know… what with Obama and carbon credits and killing off the Middle Class.

AND THEN  LETS ADD THIS INTO THE MIX:

NOAA: A rare tsunami hit the East   Coast earlier this month by The Extinction Protocol

Storm systems growing more intense: A radar image of the storm complex that may have caused the East Coast tsunami

June 25, 2013 – NEW JERSEY – The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says a 6-foot wave that hit the East Coast earlier this month was a rare tsunami. The West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Center said the source of the wave is “complex and under review,” but they believe it was caused by a strong storm and perhaps even the “the slumping at the continental shelf east of New Jersey.”

And last but not least from Drudge:

Man faces 13 years in jail for scribbling anti-bank messages in chalk...

How dare anyone question the RICH MEN OF THE EARTH. How dare they!! Psalm Two Wars. Oh, I forgot, “What Psalm Two?”

Seems like when you add all of these little things and not so little things together you really do feel like asking Papa “ARE WE THERE YET?”

 

“ALMOST!!”

Any comments? Or am I speaking to the wind?

Operation Blackjack – Could it happen?

Many of you have heard of Operation Blackjack, or maybe not, a comic book issued in 2009 with a story of how the Illuminati would bring down England and America through the use of nuclear weapons being used in six cities in North America on June 20-23^nd, 2013 or 2014 or 2015, the year not being displayed.

It begins with England’s MI5 issuing a major terrorist threat is in the offering. It could be nuclear, biological or chemical no one knows. The bomb in England goes off in London June 22nd no year given.

In North America, on the 22^nd of June, SIX bombs go off in the following cities:

 

Canada – Toronto

USA – New York City, Washington, Portland, Los Angeles

Mexico – Mexico City

An immediate notification for all to “shelter in place” goes to all citizens who have survived. Martial law is initiated throughout North America. Maybe that is why apps are being sent out so Obama can give his orders directly to people on their cell phones.Remember “shelter in place” was the order under martial law in Boston after the marathon. It was MARTIAL LAW but under another name.

What is interesting in the aftermath, domestic terrorists, namely a Christian doomsday cult linking up with terrorists in Syria Iran and China are the perpetrators. America launches a war against Syria and Iran and this is interesting in view of Isaiah 17 and prophecies in Daniel.

Also you might want to remember we have “missing nukes” or a “broken arrow” event in the B-52 flights out of North Dakota back under Bush and Cheney. No reports ever surfaced saying they had been “found”, so who knows where they might be or what they are intending to do with them, but we have three guesses and first two don’t count.

Interesting in that the Illuminati elite view this chaos as being much better than they had thought, and that it was wonderful thing for all of their plans for the New World Order. Also remember that the CFR motto is ‘EVERYWHERE”, which brings to mind Total Information Awareness, Prism, Central Core and whatever other names for sweeping up all records on everyone. Do not forget the Masonry motto “Order Out Of Chaos”. It may be closer than we think.

The comic book then claims that a brand new president is installed, and that the government has moved to Denver, and we know that is to be the new capital for the NWO.  This is interesting in view of a Christian who was given a vision that Hillary Clinton was sworn in as the new president IN DENVER because Washington had been destroyed (A woman rides the Beast may be more than symbolic, it may also be literal).

It also says that THE NORTH AMERICAN UNION goes into full force and effect, and that we are placed under a brand new flag. At that time, the military begins to realize that all of this was pre-planned but it is too late to stop any of it.  Of course the military is already displaying the American flag BACKWARDS on their uniforms, a huge clue as to what is coming.

It then says that a biometric card is required for everything, most likely the MARK OF THE BEAST system, and you cannot live without it, as it is required for EVERYTHING. People will protest and the chaos begins.

Protests begin to form in the cities, and people demand their country back, only to be met with severe governmental reprisals as the forces fire upon and kill protestors. Chaos reigns as the country disintegrates and imploded from within. Huge fires are set in the cities, and the cities burn.

Now the Bible says that fires do erupt in our cities, but it also says at that time we are under attack from enemies “roundabout”.  

Will this happen in the next few days, or 2014 or 2015? No one knows, but don’t be surprised if something of this nature does occur, because Obama is in deep trouble and may well pull something of this nature off – or then again, HE MAY BE THE TARGET, as Lindsey Williams claims the “elite” as not happy with him at all.

HEADS UP, NO ONE KNOWS WHICH WAY THE WINDS WILL BLOW.

GOLFING DAMASCUS BEFORE IT BECOMES A RUINOUS HEAP

Things are heating up as the US enters the fray, setting the hooks into the jaws of Putin and bringing Gog down upon the mountains of Israel and up over the poles to neutralize the United States, as any good General would want to do in Ezekiel 38 and 39.

The taking of Damascus is mentioned  in two places in the Bible, Isaiah 17, and then Jeremiah 49. Both are stationed or positioned in an ominous location within Scripture. The location of chapters, the verses within them and sequence is more important than many people realize. For example in Isaiah 17, we find the taking of Damascus because of the children of Israel.  Isaiah 18 seems to be speaking of a nation OVER THE SEAS that is destroyed not soon after the Damascus destruction.  I believe that Isaiah 18 is speaking directly to the United States, for the descriptive language is the same as that given to BABYLON THE GREAT, which we already know is the United States, and the Great City is New York City with its UN tower of Babel.  America is of course the DAUGHTER OF ANCIENT BABYLON, that is, like mother like daughter.  The daughter is known as the latter day BABYLON THE GREAT.

Now when we go over to Jeremiah Chapter 49, we find there that Damascus is destroyed, and then in Jeremiah 50 and 51, we find the taking of Babylon the Great. It seems odd to me that in both cases that the positioning is identical – and MYSTERY BABYLON takes it on the chin so to speak after Damascus becomes a ruinous heap. Accidental? Nothing in the Bible is by accident.  It is a “verily, verily, I say unto you” type of positioning. In other the words, the SEQUENCE is identical, and that must mean something to us.

We do not know the time delay between the destruction of Damascus and the invasion of Gog into Israel. It could be days, weeks, months or several years. But we are seeing the hooks being set into the jaws of the Russian “confederation” via treaties that Putin has made with his neighbors, and we have been watching the Russians arm her confederates for years. The so-called “break-up” of the Soviet Empire was for Western consumption only, and a trick, a slight of hand, and it as worked because no one really believes Bible prophecy even if they say they do. All of this leads to WWIII and the rise of the REAL New World Order. In other words, out of the ashes of our present civilization will rise the NEW WORLD, the GOLDEN AGE, an age where, as the occult says “the ASCENDED MASTERS, THE BEINGS OF LIGHT, WILL WALK WITH MANKIND AGAIN, AND TALK TO MANKIND. I believe we can find the ARRIVAL in Isaiah 17 and the “strange plants” which appears to be confirmed with the arrival of the “aliens” STRONG DELUSION. These are they who “arrive” with “proof” that the Bible has been totally misinterpreted all of these years, and that Jesus Christ was simply an “avatar” but never a redeemer, for man has no need for redemption. They are of course, the fallen angels. “As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be”. Go back and visit Genesis Six.

Ezekiel tells us that when that Russian confederation moves down upon the mountains of Israel  that they think an evil thought to go to those that are at rest and who have neither bars nor gates, and that have grown fat with all of their goodies. They also dwell “carelessly”, and identical phrase used against America-Babylon. This is the attack upon Babylon, just as Jeremiah tells us.

What is also very interesting in that recent articles have said that the Russians are rapidly improving their missile telemetry systems so that they will have dead center accuracy for each target selected.  Jeremiah says that these missiles are so accurate that each one hits its target exactly, as “arrows of a mighty expert man”, so to speak.

We have raised the issue of exactly what is SUDDEN DESTRUCTION of the Bible?  If in fact this “sudden destruction is the taking of Damascus, then it would imply that Damascus IS THE FIRST domino to fall in a long sequence of events.

If this is true, then that means that the sequence will be Damascus, The Gog-Magog invasion, the taking of America Babylon and then the entire end-time scenario will unfold with great rapidity. There is no question at all to those watching that all of the pieces of end-time prophecy are now in place and combining rapidly.

I found in the research for making of the documentary “Omega Code” that 2017 is a KEY YEAR not only Israel but for the entire world. 2017 sticks out like a sore thumb for world civilization as we have known it, and that means that things in America are going to change rapidly in order to fulfill the last remaining prophecies against her. Those prophecies are the full turn into a POLICE STATE, the rounding up of God’s people in the non-existent  FEMA DEATH AND TORTURE CAMPS, and her continued betrayal of Israel. They include continuation of our leaders not being able to accomplish anything of value in Washington, authority against authority, great violence in the land, confusion of all types,  and the continued robbing of the wealth of the American people by the international bankers.

It also  means we will be seeing more and more earth changes, solar anomalies, severe weather, huge crop loses and famine, volcanic activity on a scale never seen before, land inundations, sea level changes, a magnetic pole shift and most likely  a crustal shift as God brings an end to man’s probation upon planet Earth.  It may well bring with it the splitting of the United States up the Mississippi River bed via the New Madrid fault zone.

There is an escape hatch, but few will take it. His name is Jesus Christ. The method of salvation is clearly outlined in the Bible and our previous series on salvation that most mocked.  It is odd to me that people just cannot, for whatever reason, come to terms with the method that Jesus Christ clearly stated if one wants to be in truth SAVED. Instead, they have opted for the very deceived Christian leaders of today, who have taken the seats of honor with the Christian Church and spewing forth their false salvation doctrines; and they  will find out all to soon that they will be kicked off those seats of honor and be taken to the lowest room, the pit of death and ruin, as outlined in Matthew 7 and elsewhere.

The time is short to be saved via the STRAIT GATE and NARROW WAY. There is a dispensational change coming very soon. If one compares the differences found in Scripture, there is a clear line of demarcation coming, in which the concepts of the strait gate and narrow way are eliminated and beheading takes it place.  Millions of Americans who lived under the age of Grace, which brought us the strait gate and narrow way will be in dire trouble because they refused the commands of the Lord and opted for believe and faith only with no obedience or understanding of what the Lord commanded them to do.

“Why do you call me Lord, Lord and not do what I say” should be ringing in all of our ears.

We have a new Prophetic Insider release, and you can find it at http://www.thelightgate.com and it costs but $1.00 for the PDF. We have asked for donations to cover the costs for it takes a lot of work to put all of these things together.

Our Movie is progressing and it is a combination of a movie, a documentary, and a battle between Christ and Satan for control over people’s minds, souls and spirits. Will keep you posted, and hope to have a teaser out soon.

IF YOU CANNOT ATTACK THE MESSAGE, THEN ATTACK THE MESSENGER

We received a phone call today that rumor has it out there is the ether land of the web that Stewart Best is actually a Mormon because of something I said in my interview with Erin. How stupid are these idiots who slander anyone and everyone because they simply cannot abide by the Doctrine of Christ?

I am not a Mormon, never was, never will be. Mormonism is a satanic deception of the first degree, and is actually MASONRY in Christian clothing, another wolf in sheep’s clothing. Anyone who actually “studies” would absolutely know this from Mormon teachings.

These people who spread such lies are Satan’s dupes, although most of them probably claim they are “Christians”. It seems to me that Christ was accused of doing His works by the power of Satan so his true followers will receive the same treatment.

What all of this really boils down to is that these people cannot and will not accept the truth, so they make up all kinds of stories and rumors to keep others from the truth of what Christ really said as well, and their damnation slumbers not if the will not repent and do as Christ commanded.

Because Mormons believe certain things, does not make others who believe some statement in Mormon doctrine Mormons! What kind of idiocy is all of this? The stupidity of these people seems to have no boundaries.

What I wrote is what Christ Himself said and taught. If you don’t like it, and if it exposes you as a FRAUD, then take it up with the Lord Himself while you still have time to repent.

THE LAST CALL – JESUS CHRIST, CHIEF OF THE GNOSTICS? CHAPTER SIX

CHAPTER SIX

FINAL CONCLUSIONS

 

There is no way that anyone who is intellectually and scripturally honest can deny that Jesus Christ was in fact a gnostic and that He demanded that his followers to become gnostics as well. What has happened is quite simple really, a stroke of genius on the part of Satan – that is, REMOVE THE ONE ELEMENT necessary for Salvation, that is this gnostic encounter, and call it Satanic so the Christians will steer well away from it. That they have done, and Satan has won the war.

Modern Christianity is violently opposed to any form of gnostic concept because it removes the power of the Church over the individual. The modern form of Christianity is no different than the earlier Catholic Church, that is a power structure to keep all of the “believers” under the thumb of their power, to extract as much money as they could by any method they could, and it is still true today. If a believer actually begins to understand what is going on, and they follow the commands of the Lord in truth, they will soon be removed from any modern Christian denomination.

The reason for this is that Satan holds sway over the church today, and it is filled with the “many” whom are not overcomers, but are in fact the “tares”, and it pushes the real overcomers out because they do not want to hear the testimony of truth. “You ask to many questions”, or “you keep asking questions that we cannot answer, and you keep pointing out inconsistencies and contradictions, you would be better off going to another Church”, and so they show you the door. Nothing has changed. Nothing will, as the True Church of Jesus Christ will end the same way it began – in very tiny gatherings of 2-10 people in their homes, totally away from the satanically driven apostate monster that Christianity has become.

The prophecies of the Bible concerning the state of affairs in the modern Church have come true, but most people do not actually realize JUST HOW TRUE, for even those who claim they are the remnant seem to have no clue as to what Jesus Christ actually requires of them for they have NO TESTIMONY CONCERNING IT.

2 Tim 4:2-5

2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.

3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.

 

“For the time will come when they SHALL NOT endure sound doctrine.”  That time has been here for a long time now, but it is getting far worse as time goes on. The REAL TRUTH, as we have presented to you by the WORDS OF CHRIST ALONE is actually rejected as an anathema. This is very hard to understand, because these people, most of whom claim to be preachers, teachers and evangelists, state that they STAND UPON THE SCRIPTURES, and further believe EVERY WORD. We have shown you they do not. They are doing exactly what prophecy said they would.

Notice that it says that the flock of “sheep to be sheered”, have “itching ears” and heap to themselves TEACHERS WHO WILL GLADLY PREACH THIS FALSE GOSPEL AND COLLECT DONATIONS WHILE DOING IT. The people LOVE to have it so, and they cannot wait for the next false doctrine that satisfies their every lust and worldly endeavors. The money pours in and these liars and deceivers become wealthy beyond imagination, promising heaven to all those that believe them. THEIR DAMNATION SLUMBERS NOT. Thus they are turned UNTO FABLES, that is, LIES AND DECEPTIONS, with a salvation gospel that is an absolute lie. That is why Peter said that they bring DAMNABLE HERESIES, and anything that is damnable, that is causes your damnation, has to be involved with salvation doctrine.

They will not abide by the truth whatsoever, that is, they embrace these lies and call them THE REAL TRUTH, and when the REAL TRUTH IS PREACHED TO THEM, they call that A LIE, and they react with great anger and cannot abide by it whatsoever. Is that not exactly what is happening today? It is simply a REVERSAL.

Now then we find this:

2 Tim 3:5-9

5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,

7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.

9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.

 

If you will search it out, you will find that behind the scenes in many a popular ministry is adultery, fornicators, and all sorts of ungodly behavior, but they present themselves as having a form of godliness, that is, they appear to be ambassadors of the Lord. They do, in many cases, lead the women in their congregations astray, teaching them all sorts of heresies. Notice that they RESIST THE REAL TRUTH, and they have REPROBATE MINDS, CORRUPT MINDS, and have no real knowledge of the real truth and true godliness. Obviously they do not KNOW who Christ really is, another confirmation that they never came into a gnostic encounter. They claim any such encounter is a heresy.

Notice also that these people are EVER LEARNING, and NOT ABLE TO COME TO A KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH as to WHO IS JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF REALLY IS, for that can only happen if He MANIFESTS HIMSELF to the believer who is obedient. This is a very interesting remark, in that these people are EVER LEARNING, but for some reason they cannot come to a knowledge of the real truth. The word is “epignosis” and it means:

KNOW

3. epiginosko (

e)piginw/skw

<END GREEK>, NT:1921) denotes (a) “to observe, fully perceive, notice attentively, discern, recognize” (epi, “upon,” and No. 1); it suggests generally a directive, a more special, recognition of the object “known” than does No. 1; it also may suggest advanced “knowledge” or special appreciation; thus, in Rom 1:32, “knowing the ordinance of God” (epiginosko) means “knowing full well,” whereas in verse 21 “knowing God” (ginosko) simply suggests that they could not avoid the perception. Sometimes epiginosko implies a special participation in the object “known,” and gives greater weight to what is stated; thus in John 8:32, “ye shall know the truth,” ginosko is used, whereas in 1 Tim 4:3, “them that believe and know the truth,” epiginosko lays stress on participation in the truth. Cf. the stronger statement in Col 1:6 (epiginosko) with that in 2 Cor 8:9 (ginosko), and the two verbs in 1 Cor 13:12, “now I know in part (ginosko); but then shall I know (piginosko) even as also I have been known (epiginosko),” “a knowledge” which perfectly unites the subject with the object; (b) “to discover, ascertain, determine,” e. g., Luke 7:37; 23:7; Acts 9:30; 19:34; 22:29; 28:1; in 24:11 the best mss. have this verb instead of No. 1; hence the RV, “take knowledge.” J. Armitage Robinson (on Ephesians) points out that epignosis is “knowledge directed towards a particular object, perceiving, discerning,” whereas gnosis is knowledge in the abstract. See ACKNOWLEDGE.

(from Vine’s Expository Dictionary of Biblical Words, Copyright © 1985, Thomas Nelson Publishers.)

To boil it down, it means simply that these people never came to BEHOLD WHAT MANNER OF LOVE THAT THE FATHER HAS BESTOWED UPON US. Because Christ is a SPIRIT and that SPIRIT IS DIVINE AGAPE, then it should be obvious that these people never came into contact with Christ, and therefore they have no clue as to who He really is. These are they that are sent away in Matthew Seven. This brings us to another remark of our Lord:

John 5:39-44

39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.

40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.

41 I receive not honour from men.

42 But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.

43 I am come in my Father’s name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.

44 How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?

This is just another of those “gnostic” type of verses that tell you that the Scripture is NOT JESUS CHRIST, but rather is TESTIMONY of what He did, who He was in the abstract, that is, Redeemer and Messiah, but you will NOT AT ALL find eternal life in the Bible. The Bible is simply a BOOK, it is paper and ink. It is an instruction manual, and if one follows the instructions, then they will have eternal life, and if they do not, they won’t! The Bible does not contain THE LIVING CHRIST, it is only a testimony a ABOUT CHRIST. Notice that He says YOU WILL NOT COME TO ME THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE LIFE. Notice also that He says COME TO HIM, and not just BELIEVE IN HIM, OR HAVE FAITH IN HIM. 

Jesus told us that LIFE was at the end of the NARROW WAY, so obviously coming to Christ IN TRUTH, can only be done via the narrow way, for there is no other way offered the human race. In point of fact, GRACE brought us a strait gate and a narrow way, and we deserve neither.

Modern Christians usually will claim they believe and accept, for example, John 3:16, and because they believe that, and accept that, then they are saved. Jesus Christ is NOT John 3:16. Also notice that Jesus said that these frauds seek honor one from another – and that is exactly what they are doing, even in the prophetic circles. Only key and popular people get to speak at these “conferences”, radio programs or TV programs, and these folks are LIFTED UP and that “draws the crowds” in who hang on every word. There is no dissent allowed  from their accepted prophetic or salvation “agenda”. They seek honor and seats of honor among themselves, and these are they who DO NOT seek the honor of God, which can only be received by DOING THE WILL OF THE FATHER.

This is the will of the Father:

John 6:39-40

39 And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.

40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

Is this not clear enough? The word “seeth” is: “theoreo”, and it means: “to be a spectator of”, to behold, to acknowledge”.  It is virtually the same as “manifest” or “reveal”. It is therefore the WILL OF THE FATHER THAT WE BECOME A SPECTATOR OF CHRIST, that is, He will MANIFEST HIMSELF TO US, and WE WILL LOOK UPON HIM, BE A SPECTATOR OF HIM, and by that method, we will KNOW WHO HE IS!!!

The will of the Father is abundantly clear as to first things first. That is to FIRST OF ALL SEEK THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS above all other things in one’s life. The righteousness of God is HIS DIVINE LOVE, which in turn runs behavior, and right behavior becomes earthly righteousness. When Paul said that ALL OF THE LAW is fulfilled by DIVINE LOVE, he told us why: It seeks no ill against any neighbor, but rather, seeks to help a neighbor. Divine Agape within the heart leads to a behavior that helps, not hurts those around them, AND BECOMES THE RIGHTEOUS DEEDS OF THE TRUE SAINTS, who seek no hurt to anyone.

The salvation of the human soul is so important that one would think it was a top priority of every living person on Earth, but the opposite is the actual truth of the matter. It is not a priority at all, and is actually the last thing on their minds. The commands of the Lord to FIRST SEEK THE KINGDOM OF GOD fall on deaf ears. Having ears to hear, they cannot hear, and having eyes to see, they cannot see. The real truth is scoffed at, ridiculed and mocked. It is exactly as our Lord said it would be.

More gnostic concepts are found in the Scripture than not. The Old Testament is likewise filled with these types of encounters with the Divine, although many of them are not salvation related. But some are and here is one of them:

Ps 25:12-14

12 What man is he that feareth the Lord? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.

13 His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.

14 The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.

The covenant of the Lord is a SECRET. IT IS HIDDEN. And only those that FEAR THE LORD will be shown what the covenant really is. Inasmuch as the Lord is a Spirit of Divine Love, then this COVENANT IS THE COVENANT OF DIVINE AGAPE. Notice what the Lord says: He will SHOW HIS COVENANT TO THOSE THAT FEAR THE LORD. We could say that those who really fear the Lord obey Him and do what He tells them. Further, the Lord says THIS COVENANT IS A SECRET, HIDDEN AWAY, and only shown to the elect. What is this hidden covenant? DIVINE AGAPE. Here is how we can prove it from the Old Testament:

Jeremiah 31:33-34

33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.

34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord; for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

What is this law?

Ezekiel 36:25-28

25 Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.

26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.

27 And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.

28 And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.

The Spirit of the Lord is Divine Agape. So this is a reference to being BORN AGAIN found in the Old Testament. The Lord never changes; He is the same yesterday, today, tomorrow and forever. Jesus said this:

John 3:3-8

3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born?

5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

Notice that Jesus refers to this rebirth AS A SPIRITUAL REBIRTH. What did the Lord say back there in Ezekiel? I will PUT MY SPIRIT within you; a NEW HEART. How can anyone who really wants to know miss this? And further, how could the Lord come to a person, who has a puny, dark soul riddled with sin, NOT KNOW WHEN THIS HAPPENED? That is like saying you could be five miles away from an atomic bomb and you would not know it when it went off. But that is what most Christians are taught, that you just “take it by faith”. Not according to Christ! No faith here, when the Lord of Lord and King of Kings comes to visit, YOU WILL KNOW IT, AND YOU WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER IT!!It is, in fact, the END OF YOUR FAITH, because NOW YOU KNOW!!!

The Gnostic encounter that actually saves an individual is, as we have said, very specific, and concerns the revelation of only ONE THING: DIVINE AGAPE, THE SPIRIT OF THE NEW COVENANT. Remember that Jesus said that He and the Father are one. He also said that God was a SPIRIT and God was DIVINE LOVE, often called “charity”. Remember that John said BEHOLD WHAT MANNER, or that is, behold WHAT TYPE OF LOVE GOD HAS, vs. the types of love that mankind has. This is critical, for many people have dreams and visions and think because of that they must be saved. But the Scripture is very clear about what this NEW COVENANT is, and what one must do to enter it. It all boils down to THE NEW LAW that Jesus Christ left us:

John 13:34-35

34 “A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.”

 

The type of LOVE here is DIVINE AGAPE. It is the SPIRIT OF GOD, the NEW HEART to be given to any believer who searches the matter out.

“LOVE

1. agapao (

a)gapa/w

<END GREEK>, NT:25) and the corresponding noun agape (B, No. 1 below) present “the characteristic word of Christianity, and since the Spirit of revelation has used it to express ideas previously unknown, inquiry into its use, whether in Greek literature or in the Septuagint, throws but little light upon its distinctive meaning in the NT. Cf, however, Lev 19:18; Deut 6:5.

“Agape and agapao are used in the NT (a) to describe the attitude of God toward His Son, John 17:26; the human race, generally, John 3:16; Rom 5:8, and to such as believe on the Lord Jesus Christ particularly John 14:21; (b) to convey His will to His children concerning their attitude one toward another, John 13:34, and toward all men, 1 Thess 3:12; 1 Cor 16:14; 2 Peter 1:7; (c) to express the essential nature of God, 1 John 4:8.

(from Vine’s Expository Dictionary of Biblical Words, Copyright © 1985, Thomas Nelson Publishers.)”

The Divine Agape was UNKNOWN to mankind, and basically still is, because it is hidden, secret, and cannot be known except by the ELECT of God, who were called, and chosen. The Divine Love of God is a “mystery”.  A mystery is a SECRET, HIDDEN AWAY, not known.

This DIVINE LOVE is the LOVE BESTOWED UPON THE BELIEVER AT REBIRTH. Being Born Again is to have DIVINE LOVE SHOWN YOU, JUDGMENT GIVEN, AND SALVATION OFFERED. It is to stand before the LIGHT OF CHRIST, who is Divine Agape, and to have your deeds reproved. This is because the NEW COVENANT is the NEW COMMANDMENT. This is why Jesus called the “many” workers of iniquity, or lawlessness, because the NEW LAW was Divine Love, and it can only be obtained by entering the strait gate and walking to the narrow way. Remember that Christ said the end of the narrow way was LIFE, and HE WAS LIFE. Therefore Christ stands at the end of the narrow way waiting for any believer who obeys to COME TO HIM IN TRUTH. The narrow way is the road of Divine chastisement:

Rev 3:19

19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

 

Who did Christ say He loved? The OBEDIENT BELIEVER who walks the “way” and finds Christ:

John 14:23-25

23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father’s which sent me.

25 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.

 

That seems simple enough – if you really LOVE CHRIST, you will keep HIS WORDS. This takes us right back to Matthew Seven where Jesus commands we enter in at the strait gate and walk the narrow way, then warns of IMPOSTERS, LIARS and DECEIVERS who will CONTRADICT THAT. Then He warns of what happens IF YOU DON’T DO THAT, and then says you are a fool if you have heard His commands AND DO THEM NOT. Inasmuch as Christ is waiting at the end of the narrow way, you will MEET HIM THERE and HE WILL MANIFEST HIMSELF TO THAT BELIEVER. Obviously the “many” never entered in and therefor did not ever MEET CHRIST ONE ON ONE.

John 14:21

21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

One has to be in complete and UTTER DENIAL not to see what is being said here. As we pointed out, the word MANIFEST means to REVEAL IN PERSON, to “TAKE OFF THE COVER” that is to show plainly who Christ is TO THE OBEDIENT BELIEVER. Remember Christ said He would manifest Himself personally TO the obedient believer. It means exactly what it says it means, and yes, it is totally esoteric and gnostic, AND without this manifestation, one CANNOT BE REBORN OR SAVED.

Now remember that Christ said that WHO HE LOVED He chastised and rebuked. Here in another element of Christian testimony that is almost totally missing: 

Hebrews 12:5-14

5 And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:

6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.

Notice that this verse agrees with Revelation and that those Christ loves he will chasten and rebuke. But notice what it says here: EVERY SON (DAUGHTER,) THAT GOD RECEIVES MUST AND WILL UNDERGO THIS SCOURGING AND CHASTENING. There are no exceptions here, it is quite plain and blunt: EVERYONE, no exceptions. NONE, ZERO. So what is this all about? The STRAIT GATE and NARROW WAY. Look up the word STRAIT and NARROW. If you will not enter in, you will not be RECEIVED BY THE LORD.

How does this square with modern salvation theology of “say a sinner’s prayer” and you are not only received, but written in the Lamb’s Book of Life? Cannot anyone see what is happening here? Many church denominations do not even require a sinner’s prayer, but rather if you are simply baptized by the pastor you are automatically saved.)

7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?

8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.

Once again we find ALL ARE PARTAKERS, and if you are without this chastisement, you are considered a BASTARD SON, and a BASTARD cannot enter into heaven. Notice that huge conditional IF. The word BASTARD means:

“BASTARD

<END GREEK>, NT:3541) denotes “an illegitimate child, one born out of lawful wedlock,” Heb 12:8.

(from Vine’s Expository Dictionary of Biblical Words, Copyright © 1985, Thomas Nelson Publishers.)

We are being told something here that is very important. Jesus said there was only one way into the KINGDOM. We all know what that way is. If one does not do this, then God considers that one a BASTARD, that is, one who claiming to be a Christian, but is Illegitimate, one  born out of wedlock. Remember when Jesus talked about the sheepfold?

John 10:1-2

10 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.

2 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

 

This comment concerns the BASTARD SONS AND DAUGHTERS, those that entered the sheepfold “some other way”, which means NOT BY THE NARROW WAY WHICH LEADS TO CHRIST WHO IS THE DOOR. Do you see? The “sheepfold” is the Church. The Church is filled with tares, but not a lot of wheat (the many and the few), it is filled with non-overcomers, but not many “overcomers” or truly born again Christians.

Now this gets interesting because Christ has called you to HIS WEDDING, and the multitudes of Christians RSVP back and say they will be there, but never show up. The wedding you are called to is your own to CHRIST. That is therefore a LAWFUL WEDDING and then we have a NEW BABE IN CHRIST, A new creation who is born again. What then would be an unlawful or bastard baby? One who claims to be born again and who entered into the sheepfold (the Church) some other way other than the strait gate and narrow way!!!

This goes back to the comment of Christ about the wedding:

Luke 14:8-11

8 When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him;

9 And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room.

10 But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee.

11 For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

Notice what Christ says here. Don’t take the seats of honor. The fake preachers, teachers, evangelists and prophetic scholars are all taking the seats of honor in Christian circles. The real true Christians are marginalized, trod upon, called all sorts of evil names and never get invited anywhere!!  Do you see? The way to the lowest room is the narrow way, and the pit is the pit of death! Remember in Job where TRUE WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING ARE FOUND IN DEATH AND HELL? Remember when Christ told you to pick up YOUR CROSS? The cross is an instrument of death. The narrow way takes a person down into a very mysterious death called the pit. There the person must wait for Christ to come. This is the chastisement road. This is the “rebuke” road.

Hebrews 12:9-11

9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?

10 For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.

11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.

Here we find that this chastisement is for our profit, that if we undergo it, we will be PARTAKERS OF HIS HOLINESS! Obviously if we do not undergo it, and turn back, then we will NOT PARTAKE. How is that accomplished? “Verily, verily, I say unto you, you must be born again”. It is the ‘BEHOLD WHAT MANNER OF DIVINE AGAPE” that is bestowed upon the true believer that makes them a PARTAKER of the Holiness of God. Those people are authentic Christians, and only those are the AUTHENTIC BRIDE OF CHRIST. The other Christians are bastard sons and daughters, who climbed into the sheepfold some other way:

John 10:1-5

10 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.

2 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.

4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.

5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.”

Do you see what is going on here? The real authentic sheep have SEEN THE FATHER AND THE SON, they KNOW EXPERIENTIALLY WHO THEY ARE  and the Lord says HE KNOWS WHO THEY ARE AS WELL!

John 10:27-30

27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.

30 I and my Father are one.

They have heard the VOICE OF CHRIST, He has called them BY NAME, and led them out of their prison house, and set them FREE. They continued in His doctrine, and they abide within it, and they found THE REAL TRUTH, and that truth is THE PERSON OF JESUS CHRIST, who is very much alive and running the affairs of the Universe and His Church. Remember it is Jesus Christ that shed His blood for us ON THE CROSS, DIED AND WAS RESURRECTED!! With this experiential encounter that KNOW THE REAL TRUTH, and that TRUTH SETS THEM FREE FOREVER.

Hebrews  12:12-14

12 Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees;

13 And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.”

14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:

 

Here is another indication that this chastisement on the narrow way is not at all pleasant and requires great patience – as indicated by the parable of the sower. Do not give up, keep on keeping on – the reward is great, beyond measure. What all of this about really is the Lord separating you from the world, and the world is going to burn, and all that is in this world in vanity and leads to eternal ruin. Extricate yourself from it, because it has nothing to offer you in the first place.

To all those that claim this is just heresy and the faith and belief are all there is to it, let’s take a look at what Peter has to say about ADDING TO YOUR FAITH:

2 Peter 1:5-11

5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;

6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;

7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.

8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

9 But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.

10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:

11 For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Notice that the last thing to ADD TO YOUR FAITH is CHARITY. That word “charity” means DIVINE AGAPE, and that comes only to those who seek the Lord out with all diligence, for Jesus Christ is the only one who can give it to you.

It is also said that we should have unfeigned LOVE. That is, we should not pretend something we do not have:

2 Cor 6:6

“6 By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by (divine agape) love unfeigned,..”

 

Now there are lot of people in the Church will say how much they love, but when you begin to ask REAL QUESTIONS, and you point out flaws in their doctrinal beliefs, you will find out right away that their so-called Divine love is a fake – they don’t have it, because it is not in them whatsoever.

So there you have it, take it or leave it. It says what it says, and it means what it means. And that is, as they say, THE END OF THE STORY.

THE LAST CALL – JESUS CHRIST, CHIEF OF THE GNOSTICS? CHAPTER FIVE

CHAPTER FIVE

THE SUM AND TOTAL OF SALVATION IS IN THE TABERNACLE OF GOD.

 

At the end of Chapter Four we made a comment about how works, good or bad have nothing to do with true salvation. God does not accept anyone because they are a Mother Teresa or a someone who does good works all their lives. The reason is actually simple: All works of any kind are done in the FALLEN NATURE, and thus Jesus classifies them as EVIL. It is imperative to understand this – THE FALLEN NATURE is an “enemy” of God, and hates God. As Jeremiah said, the heart is desperately wicked, so evil and dark that it cannot be known. Paul said the carnal mind, the FLESH MIND, is an enemy of God. 

The Bible is clear about that – so then that means that ANY WORKS done in the FLESH have no MEANING WHATSOEVER, THEY ARE VANITY and that is why one MUST ferret out Christ with all due diligence and FIND HIM, come into UNION with Him and have Him cover us with His robe of righteousness. It is HIS FINISHED WORK THAT DOES THIS.

A word about “reconciliation” as it applies to the Bible. When God the Father sent Jesus Christ to us it was said God was reconciling the world to Himself, and Jesus Christ was in effect a mediator, or we could say a “bridge”, someone who would be a go-between between man and God the Father. But what Christians do not understand is that reconciliation MUST BE TWO WAYS or there is no reconciliation.

For example, let us say you and a relative have such great differences because of some offense that the tie between you and him has been severed. You want to attempt reconciliation, and get back to a right relationship. So you decide to go to your relative and attempt to reconcile.

You want to, but he refuses. He will not forgive. Therefore there is no reconciliation.  When God the Father sent Jesus Christ into the world, He reconciled Himself to the world via the cross of Christ. That was you going to your relative to reconcile. You relative refused. Is there any reconciliation MAN TO GOD? Do you understand the importance of this? Mankind MUST reconcile themselves BACK TO GOD as well, or there is no reconciliation, therefore NO SALVATION.

So then how does man reconcile himself back to God? Jesus told us how – enter ye in at the strait gate and walk the narrow way, that is, come to the LIGHT OF CHRIST, and have your deeds judged, reproved. If you then ACCEPT the offer of Christ, TRUE RECONCILIATION HAS TAKEN PLACE. The MANY were not and could not have been reconciled back to God for Christ said He knew them not.

Reconciliation is tied directly to REPENTANCE. In point of fact, one could say that true Biblical repentance is what causes true reconciliation. True Biblical repentance is you agreeing with Christ that your “love deeds” are worthless, no matter how good they appear to the people of the world, when compared to His Divine Love. Our love types and His love and so different and there is such a radical divide between them that reconciliation is impossible without Christ.That is what the LOVE EXCHANGE IS ALL ABOUT. Your fallen self centered loves for His Divine Love.

True reconciliation between God and man MUST BE, and HAS TO BE a two way street. He sent Christ, who showed us THE WAY, and we must “enter in” to reconcile our fallen spirits to God. There is no reconciliation without the “esoteric and gnostic” encounter with Christ, who is THE TRUTH, and then the ACCEPTANCE OF HIS OFFER OF SALVATION. If you do not accept, there is no reconciliation. If you do accept, then He comes into you, He sups with you and you with Him:

Rev 3:20-22

20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

 

Notice the sequence of events here, and Christ is speaking of the doorway in the INNER HIDDEN HEART OF MAN. Paul referred to this hidden secret part of us as the “inner man”. It is this HIDDEN DOORWAY that Christ is referring to. When a person comes to Christ via the strait gate and narrow way, they are going into their HIDDEN INNER HOLY OF HOLIES. It is there that the antichrist dead spirit man dwells. It is there that Christ seeks entrance to kick your antichrist spirit off his throne and take the seat Himself and resurrect you to NEW LIFE.

You must journey there in order to hear the voice of Christ seeking entrance. Once you have arrived there and experientially know that you are in fact dead in your trespasses and sin, and you know you are going to hell, Christ will show up one day and seek entrance into this hidden inner sanctuary that really is your Holy of Holies  with your antichrist spirit setting upon its throne of Glory running everything in secret. Christ will call you by name, show you the reason you are lost by showing you DIVINE AGAPE LOVE, and then ask if you will open the door and allow Him entrance. If you say YES, you have repented and reconciled yourself back to God. If you say no, and you actually can say no, NO RECONCILIATION TOOK PLACE, AND NO SALVATION.

It is actually based upon the construct of the TABERNACLE or TEMPLE OF THE OLD TESTAMENT. There was an OUTER COURT, which is a portrait of our conscious mind, the mind we use every day. It is this outer conscious mind that is the FLESH MIND, THE CARNAL MIND that Paul says is an UNKNOWN enemy of God. It is with this mind that people worship whatever God they can conjure up.  When you go to Church, you worship with your CONSCIOUS MIND, you sing your songs, you decide how much money to put into the plate and so on. Your life here on Earth is lived by and through your conscious mind. This is the mind that is sentient and is designed to operate in our physical sensual universe.

Now the INNER COURT of the tabernacle was covered by a veil, and was lit ONLY by the SEVEN LAMP STANDS. There was no other light in there. The veil that separates the OUTER COURT from the INNER COURT is identical to the veil that covers your conscious mind from the inner subconscious mind. It is the subconscious mind that stores your data banks, much like a hard drive stores data in a computer. You access this via “memory”. You actually go into a “search mode” to tie, for example, a face to a name. Once retrieved, it goes into your conscious mind for a short time and then returns to the data bank.

We do not yet know all the mysteries of the mind or mental operations and how they operate, or how the spirit and soul interconnect, but it is clear that the TABERNACLE/TEMPLE is constructed in such a way that it represents the three compartments of ourselves.

Now remember when it was said that you have no need for men to teach you, because the Holy Ghost would do it? The SEVEN LAMPS represent the Holy Ghost. It is the Holy Spirit that takes you by the hand and leads you THROUGH YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND ON A JOURNEY KNOWN AS THE NARROW WAY. It does in fact have a destination. This part is the actual SEARCHING OUT GOD WITH ALL OF YOUR HEART, MIND SOUL AND STRENGTH.

John 14:26

26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name,

he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

And then this:

John 16:7-16

7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;

10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;

11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.

12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.

13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

15 All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

16 A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father.

So it should be obvious that the Holy Spirit, called the Comforter is sent to convict the sinner of his/her sin, righteousness and judgment and to lead them unto ALL TRUTH. That is why John says you have no need of any man to teach you, for this journey is BEYOND DOCTRINE, BEYOND LEARNING, BEYOND THE REACH OF THE FIVE SENSES. This can only be done by the Holy Spirit. The inner court represents your subconscious mind, which is hidden behind the veil. The Holy Spirit is the ONLY light you have, and in this journey of the narrow way, He convicts of SIN, of RIGHTEOUSNESS and of JUDGMENT. The word judgment means to ETERNAL RUIN. To convict a soul that they ARE INDEED DEAD IN THEIR SINS AND TRESPASSES, and that HELL AWAITS. It is not pleasant. He also leads you direct to JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF PERSONALLY for the encounter with the TRUTH.

Beyond the INNER COURT, again restricted from view by a veil, you find THE HOLY OF HOLIES. Within this sacred place, lay the ARK OF THE COVENANT. Also there was what was known as the Shekinah Glory, the VERY PRESENCE OF THE LORD HIMSELF. Do you begin to see what this is all about? The Ark was a representation of WHAT WAS COMING (THE NEW COVENANT), and the Shekinah Glory was representing JESUS CHRIST, THE LIGHT OF GOD, who hovered over the ARK, which was soon going to be the NEW COVENANT!!

So what does this have to do with us, you ask? You have a HOLY OF HOLIES. It is exactly what Paul referred to as the INNER HIDDEN MAN. Within this HIDDEN INNER MAN lays an “entity” that controls most of your life, and that “entity” is also ANTICHRIST TO THE CORE. That entity is THE CORE OF YOUR BEING. IT IS THE HIDDEN YOU.     It is here that the FALLEN MAN RESIDES. Most Christians have no concept at all of this hidden inner “man” that runs their life in secret.

This is why Jesus said what He said about worship with the mouth but the HEART is far from me:

Mark 7:6-13

6 He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

8 For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.

9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.

10 For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death:

11 But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free.

12 And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;

13 Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.

The Christians of today are doing the exact same thing, they have laid aside the commands of Jesus Christ and have substituted their “tradition”, and that “tradition” was brought in by the fake preachers, teachers and evangelists of today. It is salvation by faith and belief alone. There is no strait gate, no narrow way, no encounter no nothing. In fact they have reduced Jesus Christ down to such a level that you cannot know if He is within you, you have to take it all by faith and “just believe” that He is there!! Let me assure you, when you meet the Creator of this Universe, you will KNOW IT and you will NEVER FORGET IT.

Remember when Jeremiah said the HEART WAS WICKED, and that NO ONE COULD KNOW IT?

Jer 17:9-10

9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

10 I the Lord search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.

If the heart is this wicked, and you cannot know it, then can we say it is a HIDDEN, SECRET AND A VERY VILE THING? In other words, your real true self is HIDDEN. It lies beyond the subconscious, veiled from view, buried deep within you. This is the secret to why the “many” are lost. God considers this part of you as the enemy, dead in trespasses and sins. Remember way back in Genesis where God warned Adam and Eve not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil? That if they did, they would DIE? It really means CUT OFF FROM GOD. It severed the relationship. Mankind is considered to be a fallen creature that is DEAD TO GOD. That is why one must reconcile their heart of hearts BACK TO GOD.

However, if you do not realize that you have this hidden inner heart, and you consider your conscious mind your heart, and you confess Christ and believe with this “heart”, then you would think you had obeyed the Lord, would consider yourself saved and going to heaven, not realizing at all that you are poor and blind. You see, the inner heart was never changed. This is why it is such a surprise to the many Christians when they are sent away. They cannot understand why they are being tossed aside. They thought they had done as Christ commanded them, that is, they cast out devils, they taught about Him, they performed miracle works and all of that.  But they failed to understand that all they were CONVERTED CHRISTIANS, not REGENERATED CHRISTIANS.

Now we get to something else we need to touch on briefly and that is the difference between CONVERSION and REGENERATION. When a person converts to Christ, he does so with his conscious mind. He goes to a crusade or revival meeting and is moved. He undergoes a CONVERSION with his mind, and changes HIS MIND about the claims of Christ and begins to ACCEPT THEM. He is, at that time, a COVERTED CHRISTIAN. All of this is done by the conscious mind. He usually goes no further than this. He studies the doctrines of his denomination and accepts them as the truth. He is a CARNAL CHRISTIAN WHO GOES NO FURTHER.

Then we have those who become “experts” in the Word. They go to their Universities and Seminaries and study the word of God. They are thought by the world as men of the cloth, so to speak. But the Bible says that they are “ever learning and never able to come to an experiential knowledge of the truth”. They collect all of this “knowledge” but never ENTER IN TO FIND CHRIST. In point of fact, they do not know they must. Thus they parade and strut around showing off their knowledge. They are proud and arrogant. They know all about Christ but they do not KNOW CHRIST HIMSELF.  

The distance between CONVERSION and REGENERATION is known as the strait gate and narrow way. It is in reality the distance between your conscious mind and your Holy of Holies. Regeneration can only occur in the Holy of Holies of that individual. The people worship Christ with their mouth or we could say they speak with their conscious mind which controls the mouth, but their INNER HIDDEN HEART is far, far away. They do not even know it is there because they refused to ENTER IN to find out. The strait gate and narrow way exposes this INNER PERSON to the conscious mind. Remember when Paul said “We know we have been crucified with Christ”? It is fully experiential. You will know you are dying within while very much alive without. That is why Jesus commanded you to PICK UP YOUR CROSS. He was commanding you to walk the narrow way to this most mysterious DEATH.

So then, what has all of this got to do with the narrow way? The strait gate and the narrow way are the JOURNEY THAT ONE MUST UNDERTAKE THAT takes you from your conscious mind, all the way through the subconscious mind and RIGHT INTO YOUR HOLY OF HOLIES. It cannot be done by you alone, it must be done by GOD THE FATHER AND THE HOLY SPIRIT. It will not be done unless there is proper response to the call of God.

Matt 22:14

14 For many are called, but few are chosen.

So here we have another sharp division, MANY are called, but FEW are chosen. How is this possible? There are millions of Christians in all sorts of denominations. These are the MANY. Now out of this group known as THE CHURCH, are two categories: OVERCOMERS and NONOVERCOMERS. Look it up for yourself in Revelation Chapters Two and Three, where Christ wrote short letters to each of the seven Churches. In each case, you will find a reference to OVERCOMERS and NON-OVERCOMERS.

Now if you look up the word OVERCOMETH, you find that it means TO HAVE FOUGHT A HORRIFIC BATTLE WITH AN ADVERSARY AND TO HAVE WON THAT BATTLE. Now compare that to the word STRAIT and then NARROW. Do you see? This is not some easy say a simple prayer to get saved CONCEPT, this is a major battle with an adversary who is named SATAN, and HE REALLY IS THE GOD OF THIS WORLD.

The MANY are the non-overcomers. THE FEW did as they were told to do, and they entered into the strait gate and walked the narrow way. They did in fact battle Satan all the way in. Satan owns you, and he has no intention of letting you go. He will do whatever it takes to keep you in his grasp – and that is why, when one really begins to study their Bibles, Satan will attack. He will attack you with your brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, husbands, wives, relatives, anyone and anything to keep you from “continuing” in the doctrines of Christ. I call it “NEGATIVE CONFIRMATION”. When you are attacked in this manner, it appears to come out of people and friends for no reason. It is all negative and usually very hurtful.

Most people, when this opposition and persecution comes, will then drop it, and never go back. They will not continue in, abide in, or remain in the doctrine of Christ to FIND THE TRUTH THAT SETS THEM FREE. I believe that the Tabernacle/Temple construct tell us that this huge battleground of “who owns who” is found in the INNER COURT. It is totally dark in there except for the LIGHT OF GOD. This is why no human being can get out of Satan’s grasp without the HELP OF GOD HIMSELF. God is greater than Satan, and the Holy Spirit is greater than Satan. But make no mistake, Satan is a dangerous, mega intelligent adversary who wants to take you to ruin with him, if for no other reason than SPITE, because he hates THE HOLY TRINITY. He will use every trick in the book to keep his ownership of you. One of his favorite tricks is FALSE DOCTRINE.

We get letters from people all of the time that tell us that Paul, for example was an imposter, a liar, a deceiver. Also Peter for that matter. Then of course there are those who claim that Jesus is the ANTICHRIST. On and on it goes. They are blown about by every wind of doctrine. They rip the Bible apart because it does not agree with their preconceived concepts, biases, prejudices and “isms”. If Paul, for example, goes against their theological bias, then he must have been some imposter, an antichrist.

These are they that will NEVER come to the light of the truth because they cannot come to Christ as a babe, but rather consider themselves “wise and prudent”, that is, “theological experts”.  This is how Satan gets into a mind, develops a mindset within that person, and that person is a literal and real PRISONER OF SATAN but it not aware of it. To break that hold, they must do what Nicodemus finally did – understand that they know NOTHING OF SPIRITUAL THINGS, HUMBLE THEMSELVES and come to Christ as a child. Few are able to do it. We know that because FEW ARE ACTUALLY SAVED.

This is why Jesus said He came to set the captives free, to unlock the prison doors. He told you how to do it – remain in His doctrines, labor for the meat that leads to eternal life. ASK, SEEK, KNOCK, AND STRIVE, to fight the good fight of faith and become an OVERCOMER. He was referring to the STRAIT GATE and NARROW WAY. He was referring to COMING TO THE LIGHT to have your deeds reproved. He was referring to the BATTLE you will have with Satan. Remember Satan took Christ up upon a high mountain and showed Him the kingdoms of the world. Christ did not tell Satan he was lying, that he did not own them! Satan does in fact own THIS WORLD. He owns it by LEASEHOLD. Jesus knew that. That means that Satan is STILL in control over the minds of men. This is why John tells us this:

1 John 5:4

4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

 

This battle that has to be fought is so important that Christ refers to it, as we have said, in every letter to the seven Churches. He refers to is by using the word OVERCOMETH, AND HERE IS THAT DEFINITION:

“TO SUBDUE, TO CONQUER, TO OVERCOME, TO PREVAIL TO GET THE VICTORY.”

It means that you are in a fight, and it is a real fight, and you must continue, abide in it, and eventually you will PREVAIL. You have two major adversaries, Satan and your hidden inner secret heart of hearts. Both are antichrist. Both hate Christ with a real passion. That is why mankind invents all of these “religions”. It is Satan’s way of DIVERSION so that this real battle for the soul does not take place.If he can keep people from understanding what the real battle is, then he has won by default. This is an inner soul/spirit battle with your jail keeper.

This is not a minor skirmish, it is a major battle, a real war. That is why Jesus said that no one could come to Him except the Father drag him. This why Paul said “who can be against us if God be for us?” God is GREATER than Satan. The Holy Ghost is GREATER than Satan.  Christ won that victory at the cross, and made an open spectacle of the adversary. Satan gets his ground because we give it to him, because we will not take the power Christ has given to us to OVERCOME SATAN and his DEMONS. Now lets get back to the tabernacle/temple:

 

In the HOLY OF HOLIES was the very presence of God. This LIGHT hovered over the ARK OF THE COVENANT. Inside the Ark were three items of extreme importance, all of which play a major role in TRUE SALVATION.

1.      The 10 commandments – rebirth puts them into the heart. Rebirth brings LIFE.

2.      Aaron’s rod that budded – from death to LIFE.

3.      Manna – The hidden symbol of DIVINE AGAPE as is “water” in many places.

Do you see now what this is really all about? When one literally encounters JESUS CHRIST in an esoteric and gnostic encounter and accepts His offer of salvation, what happens?

1.      The LAWS OF GOD ARE PLACED WITHIN THE HUMAN HEART, the LAW OF DIVINE AGAPE, which is really what the 10 commandments are all about anyway!!

2.      Aaron’s Rod that budded – something DEAD that came ALIVE. What did Jesus say? The true believer passes from DEATH unto LIFE.

3.      Manna – the LOVE OF GOD that flows from the believer to a lost and dying world.

Do you see how the Shekinah Glory represents the LIGHT OF CHRIST? Did not Jesus Christ command us to COME TO THE LIGHT TO HAVE OUR DEEDS REPROVED? The way we come to the light is via the strait gate and narrow way. And did He not say that the many would not because they loved their SPIRITUAL DARKNESS and would not come to the LIGHT OF DIVINE LOVE?  If you COME TO THE LIGHT, have you not had an experiential encounter? Would you not KNOW IT?

Rev 2:17

17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.

 

Of course once again this is extremely gnostic and esoteric, because only the ones given the hidden manna and the white stones know about it, and we know that only THE FEW obtain unto this. In order for all of this to happen, does not one have to actually ENCOUNTER CHRIST? Does not one have TO SEE? And how can they see and understand if there is no MANIFESTATION OF CHRIST? How can they even know what the NEW COVENANT REALLY IS unless it is shown them?

The fallen human race was given a choice. They can remain in the world and perish along with it, or they can reconcile themselves BACK TO GOD through Christ, the ONLY mediator and savior ever given. There is no other name under the heavens by which anyone can be saved. They must enter in at the strait gate, and walk the narrow way unto death and the pit and there sit and wait for Christ to come, or they can refuse all of it and go into eternal ruin. It is that simple, that blunt.  They can travel from their own “outer court” go through their “inner court” and find their hidden inner antichrist spirit and do something about it, THAT IS OPEN THE DOOR AND LET CHRIST TAKE THE SEAT OF GLORY.

As I have said, DARK/LIGHT which means from the DARKNESS to the LIGHT, and as Paul said, we see through a glass darkly is posted at www.thelightrgate.com and is free. If you have trouble getting the link to work, call us at 1-800-257-2672. Prove it wrong. Prove that Christ did not say, that He did not mean it, or that is does not apply to all of us.

I am fully aware that this series will not be accepted whatsoever by most preachers, teachers, evangelists, watchmen or prophetic experts. But I have told the truth, the real truth and nothing but the truth as God has shown me and taught me. I am not hear to please any person on this Earth, I am here as a spokesman to the real truth of what salvation entails and I realize it will be rejected because their minds and hearts simply cannot open to the real truth, which is why the Lord calls them “ever learning, but never able to come to an experiential encounter with the truth”, who is Jesus Christ personally. Nevertheless, the truth shall stand as it must.

Once again I must ask, why is it when I post material on true salvation that almost no one comments, but when I post something concerning THIS WORLD we get a number of comments. Does this mean most are still married to this world and have little concern with the next? Or are they all totally convinced that they are going to heaven and therefore don’t need to know anything concerning it? And if you are sure, can you testify to all that has been written and plainly stated by our Lord?

Jeremiah said in so many words that if one really understands what is going on it is a very sad and heavy thing to realize that so many are lost because they are bound up tight by Satan.  and cannot or will not accept the plain and simple statements of the Lord. Even so, COME LORD JESUS!!

THE LAST CALL – JESUS CHRIST, CHIEF OF THE GNOSTICS? CHAPTER FOUR

CHAPTER FOUR

THE NEW LAW OF DIVINE AGAPE

 

In chapter Three we were shown by the Lord a number of verses of Scripture that proved that Jesus Christ was an esoteric gnostic and further that He stated that if one was to be saved IN TRUTH, they had to have an esoteric and gnostic encounter with Him. Inasmuch as Jesus Himself died on the cross for OUR SINS, then it should be obvious that it is Jesus Himself that saves us through this encounter. We saw the Words of Christ bluntly stated, but totally denied by the modern Church – saying that any such encounter is Satanic and of the occult. In essence the Church of today is saying to the Lord the same thing they did back when He was walking the Earth – that He did all of those miracles by the power of Satan and He Himself was a demonic.

The problem with the human race is that the Lord brought with Him a totally new and radical concept – that being YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN. Paul says that the true Church is a MYSTERY. The rapture of the Church is a mystery. God Himself is a mystery. If it is a mystery, then like any other mystery one has to unlock this mystery by searching it out with all due diligence.

I received a comment of our postings regarding the esoteric and gnostic concepts presented, and wish to go through that because it shows the confusion that exists in the Church concerning what salvation really is, and what “works of righteousness” are, and why Jesus Christ sent the multitudes of Christians away as “workers of iniquity” which, if you look the word up, means LAWLESSNESS.

When Jesus came to Earth, He brought with Him a whole new concept of salvation. It dealt with a CHANGE IN THE LAW, a radical and wholly different concept that only the FEW find the answer to. He brought us THE WAY to unlock this mystery of rebirth. He also told us that only a few would actually do as they were told, search the matter out with all diligence and actually find the answer, the KEY as it were, to unlock the entire mystery of the Godhead and true salvation itself

I want to start with Matthew Chapter Six to lay down the groundwork as to why GETTING BORN AGAIN is the main thrust of the Bible, and why the vast majority of Christians are NOT.

Matt 6:33-34

33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

The word FIRST means the TOP PRIORITY, THE FIRST THING IN YOUR ENTIRE LIFE. He is telling us to change our priorities to the point that NOTHING ELSE MATTERS, THAT WE ARE TO “SEEK OUT” this mysterious Kingdom of God before we do anything else. Of course, the vast majority of the world does no such thing, but are totally concerned with the things and matters of THIS WORLD, and are so married to this world that they simply CANNOT leave it behind and make this searching out the Kingdom their ONE AND ONLY PRIORITY. But if you read carefully, Jesus is quite clear by what He means by all of that:

Matt 6:24-32

No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?

27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?

28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:

29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?

31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

 

Now there are very few people who actually believe these remarks of the Lord, and how God will find a way to see you through all of this, and will find a way to have shelter, food and clothing if one does what they are told. That is what it says and we immediately say the opposite, for we are so trained into THIS WORLD that we cannot bring ourselves to actually BELIEVE that these Words could be true!!

But what if they ARE? What if what Christ is actually demanding from us is to LEAVE THIS WORLD BEHIND? In other words, to have enough faith, trust and belief in God that if we do what He asks, he will come to our rescue!!  What these remarks really are all about is DESIRE TO FIND THE KINGDOM. Jesus made a number of comments about that, such as if you were dying of thirst, you would do whatever was necessary to find water. If you were dying of hunger, you would do whatever it took to find food. He said rather bluntly that if you did not have that type of desire, well, forget it. It boils down to DESIRE.

Now I want to bring in this comment from the blog because it is an important issue:

“Your emphasis on an esoteric (secret, private), gnostic (in the sense of mystical “knowing”) experience of (the true) Christ is indeed important for being a true disciple of Jesus. And you emphasize being obedient. Yet this obedience seems to focus almost exclusively on this “gnostic” experience of Christ and his agape love.

You use Mt. 7:14 (the narrow way) and 7:23 (I never knew you) to say it’s all about this secret/narrow knowledge/encounter. But the context around these verses is about knowing true and false prophets by their fruits (7:15-20), that is, what they do, their usual actions as they live out each day. Likewise in 7:21, Jesus says it is the one who does the will of my Father who enters the kingdom; and in 7:23 Jesus says those who did not know him were evildoers (what they were doing daily was evil). Then in 7:24-27 Jesus says the wise one not only hear his words but does them. As the conclusion of Mt. 5-7, Jesus “sermon,” this points back to all his various words (commands and teachings) about what is the will of God that his disciples (in his new kingdom) should be doing. It is about much more than a private, mystical encounter with Christ.

When Rev. 19:8 speaks of the “white robes” given by Christ (the Lamb) to his “bride,” it then says this “fine linen” (bright and pure) is the righteous deeds of the saints. Thus if we have a true encounter with Christ, we will be empowered by him and his Spirit to live the righteous life he taught and lived, to love in actions that demonstrate his agape love.”

There is the comment, and I want to break it down to show you how this confusion about DIVINE AGAPE and THE LAW actually work and why it is so often misunderstood.

“Your emphasis on an esoteric (secret, private), gnostic (in the sense of mystical “knowing”) experience of (the true) Christ is indeed important for being a true disciple of Jesus. And you emphasize being obedient. Yet this obedience seems to focus almost exclusively on this “gnostic” experience of Christ and his agape love.”

 

This is a series on TRUE SALVATION. That is why it focuses on being obedient to the Lords commands to GET SAVED. Jesus Christ says very bluntly that THE FIRST OBEDIENCE TO HIM WAS TO ENTER IN AT THE STRAIT GATE and WALK THE NARROW WAY. He says to enter in, then warns of false prophets that will deny the strait gate, warns about the multitudes lost, then speaks of those that will hear and do what He told them. What did He tell them to do? ENTER IN. He says if you will, you are wise and your house is built upon a rock, and if you will not do as He commands, and refuse the strait gate, you are a fool. Inasmuch as the ROCK is Jesus Christ, He is telling us that we must LAY OUR FOUNDATION BY REBIRTH, of having this esoteric and gnostic encounter. Then you are established upon THE ROCK, and when judgment comes, you will not fall. However, if you refuse to enter in, you have laid your foundation NOT ON CHRIST, but on SAND and you will fall, and your fall will be great indeed, for it means ETERNAL RUIN. It is interesting to note that one must DIG DOWN DEEP INTO THE SAND TO FIND THE BEDROCK. This statement means that if you really want to find the truth of Christ, you must dig down through the sands of doctrine to the bedrock, that is, you must ASK, SEEK, KNOCK, STRIVE and LABOR FOR THE MEAT that endures unto SALVATION.

“You use Mt. 7:14 (the narrow way) and 7:23 (I never knew you) to say it’s all about this secret/narrow knowledge/encounter. But the context around these verses is about knowing true and false prophets by their fruits (7:15-20), that is, what they do, their usual actions as they live out each day.”

In point of fact that is what Matthew Seven is mostly ABOUT. The vast majority of the text is all about GETTING BORN AGAIN, and Jesus tells us EXACTLY how to do it. This writer claims that the FALSE PROPHETS are known by their fruits, which is what they do in their usual actions each day. That is only a half-truth, and a dangerous one at that. The real thrust of getting yourself BORN AGAIN starts with verse 7:

Matt 7:7-18

7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?

10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?

11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.

13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

Notice that right after Jesus tells us we must enter the strait gate and walk the narrow way that He then warns us of FALSE PROPHETS. Why place this warning here? The answer is because these FALSE PROPHETS will pose as Christian leaders such as preachers, teachers, evangelists, etc. They pose as real Christian leaders but they are fraudulent.

These false prophets will CAUSE THE STRAIT GATE AND NARROW WAY to be evil spoken of, that is, they will develop a theology that causes millions of Christians to mock the TRUE WAY, and by that method, these evil men and women will deceive millions of Christians with this fake SALVATION MESSAGE. This sequence is really important to understand, for it is placed there for a reason. The Bible also tells us that ONLY THE FEW will even recognize these false prophets, and Peter tells us all about them:

2 Peter 2:1-4

2 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.

2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.

3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.

4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;

 

The first thing to notice is that these are the “wolves in sheep’s clothing” that Jesus warned would come into the FLOCK and they come to STEAL AND DESTROY. But notice how they do it: with a FAKE SALVATION THEOLOGY. If you have a heresy that is “damnable” you have a heresy that is all about SALVATION. Notice what they do: “they cause the WAY OF THE TRUTH to be evil spoken of.” Jesus Christ gave us ONLY ONE WAY IN: Enter ye in at the strait gate , and travel the narrow way. There is NO OTHER WAY OFFERED.

These fakes, these frauds are POPULAR with the Christians for the “many” follow after them!  Why? Jesus told us why. “Because strait is the gate and narrow is the way that leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it” Once again we find this sharp division between the MANY and the FEW. And this sharp division centers upon ONE THING: TRUE SALVATION. Matthew Seven is a serious warning that does not concern the FALSE PROPHETS BEHAVIOR so much as it does THEIR THEOLOGY. They with great stealth bring in a false salvation theology that totally OMITS the strait gate and narrow way and also totally omits the esoteric and gnostic encounter with Jesus Christ, which is why HE SENDS THE MILLIONS OF CHRISTIANS AWAY, with a terse “I never came to know you experientially.”

This false salvation theology is brought in by great stealth according to Peter. They “privily” bring this new gospel of salvation into the sheep fold. Look up the word “priviliy” yourself and you will find it means that this false gospel is brought in with such stealth, and is so close to the real thing, that THE MANY do not even realize what has happened!! The many gobble this up, because it is EASY, it does not CUT DEEP INTO THE FLESH. It does not divide asunder the bone and the marrow. It is easy, broad, SIMPLE and one can stay in the world and just “believe” and “have faith”. In point of fact it is the FAITH AND BELIEF GOSPEL OF TODAY that nearly the entire Church now accepts as the REAL TRUTH, and if you attempt to point out to them that Jesus said differently, they become livid with anger and accuse you of all sorts of evil.

The modern Christian Church and its “salvation theology” is a fake, a fraud, and it omits all key commands of the Lord on how to get saved. Further, Peter tells us how to identify them in their behavior:

1.      They are very popular and have a “broad way” theology that is easy, quick, simple and assures the believers that if they say a simple sinner’s prayer they are going to heaven. Nothing could be further from the truth. There is no such thing as a “sinner’s prayer” in the Bible anywhere. It is a made up gimmick by Satan and his angels of light. It flat out is not in the Bible. Jesus never said any such thing anywhere, and even warned against it over and over again. If you don’t believe it, look up the word “strait” and then “narrow”.

2.      They DENY THE LORD THAT BOUGHT THEM. Look up the word “deny” and you will see it also means to CONTRADICT the Lord. Whatever Jesus says, they contradict it, and claim the opposite is the truth. If Jesus says the “way” is hard, they will say “what way? Just say this simple prayer and you’re written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. There is nothing hard here, it is easy and simple, and by the way, we need you donations to further our “worldly” gospel.”

3.      They are greedy pigs who grow extremely wealthy as they pedal their false salvation gospel, asking for donations, asking people to even give over their estates to the “ministry”. They sell their books, videos and even movies, and many of them bring in MILLIONS OF DOLLARS every month, and as Peter says, they are making MERCHANDISE of these poor lost Christians.

All of this, however centers around a FALSE SALVATION GOSPEL. But it also centers around the fact that the vast majority of them ARE DECEIVED AND KNOW NOT that they are NOT SAVED AT ALL. These folks are positive they are saved and heaven bound. Here is what Jesus says about these folks:

Rev 3:14-22

14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;

15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.

16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:

18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

This says it all. THEY KNOWEST NOT that they are poor, miserable, blind and naked. These people ARE NOT SAVED AT ALL, they only think they are. They have embraced this faith and belief gospel hook, line and sinker, and they are positive they are heaven bound. This is a major deception, and it is a deception based upon a FALSE SALVATION GOSPEL. Notice what Christ says to them:

18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

All of these are elements of TRUE SALVATION. And then He tells them that they did NOT walk the narrow way, which is the chastisement and rebuke way of true salvation:

19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

So it is obvious that these people refused the rebuke and chastisement of the strait gate and narrow way, and they were willfully ignorant or had other excuses for not doing it.

Now then the next comment was this:

“Likewise in 7:21, Jesus says it is the one who does the will of my Father who enters the kingdom; and in 7:23 Jesus says those who did not know him were evildoers (what they were doing daily was evil)”.

 

This is where the real confusion sets in. The comment of the Lord was that they were LAWLESS. The word used means LAWLESS. So one would assume that this means they were evil criminals of some sort. But that is not at all what it means. When Jesus came He left us with a NEW COMMANDMENT, a NEW LAW, the law of Divine Agape. This new law of Divine Agape is the final and last commandment. It ties directly back to BEING BORN FROM ABOVE in Divine Agape.

Paul said this:

Rom 13:8-10

8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.

9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself

10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

 

If you have never met Christ and had His Love shown to you, it is all but impossible to understand what Paul is telling us. The law of Divine Love is THE NEW LAW, THE NEW COMMANDMENT. There is no other. DIVINE AGAPE FULFILLS ALL THE LAW. That is the whole purpose of being born again, and that is to FIND CHRIST, FIND DIVINE AGAPE, which is the SPIRIT OF CHRIST and to have it BESTOWED UPON YOU. Divine Agape Love is a LAW UNTO ITSELF. It is taking the external commandments and writing them upon the heart of the true believer, the regenerated ones. This NEW LAW is now within the heart, and it operates internally.

Now then, if DIVINE AGAPE IS THE NEW LAW, and clearly Jesus says it is, and it can only be obtained via authentic rebirth, then what are we being told? Jesus is bluntly telling us that THE LAWLESS ONES are not reborn!! It is confirmed and verified by the other remark of Christ that HE NEVER CAME TO KNOW THEM. He calls them LAWLESS because the NEW LAW is DIVINE AGAPE, and these poor Christians did not have DIVINE AGAPE IN THEM. Because they were not regenerated, they were devoid of Divine Love and were doing all of their works IN THE FLESH, NOT IN THE SPIRIT.

Do you see? They did not have Divine Agape within because Christ had never met them. The NEW LAW is DIVINE AGAPE, they did not have it, and thus THEY WERE CLASSIFIED AS LAWLESS. It has little to do with their behavior or their good works, it has everything to do with their LACK OF REGENERATION. They were not saved, they were not born again. This is why Matthew Seven is almost all about HOW TO OBTAIN DIVINE AGAPE.

If we are to look at behavior, we are into works, especially if we attempt to tie that to salvation, which is not of works at all, but by GRACE through FAITH (The dynamic) and NOT OF WORKS, that is, if we behave and do good works, God will accept us. Not at all. He will not accept anyone no matter how good their “works” because salvation is not based upon works, but rather based upon being obedient to the commands of Christ to SEARCH HIM, OUT WITH ALL DUE DILIGENCE, AND FIND HIM. Why? Because the FLESH IS FALLEN, WORTHLESS, OF NO VALUE. Therefore all works done IN THE FLESH, and not done in the SPIRIT OF DIVINE AGAPE are works of evil, works of lawlessness.

Does this mean we can do what we want? Heaven forbid, not at all!! God commands us to be Holy, to be ambassadors of His. As Paul says, we are not use the total freedom we have in Christ to do evil. In point of fact if a true Christians steps too far out of line, the Lord will deal with that individual very harshly, even to death if necessary! It is called the doctrine of Divine Discipline.

Then the final comment:

“When Rev. 19:8 speaks of the “white robes” given by Christ (the Lamb) to his “bride,” it then says this “fine linen” (bright and pure) is the righteous deeds of the saints. Thus if we have a true encounter with Christ, we will be empowered by him and his Spirit to live the righteous life he taught and lived, to love in actions that demonstrate his agape love.”

Totally true. These are, however, all born again saints who met Christ in an experiential esoteric and gnostic encounter, had Divine Agape bestowed upon them, and therefore could in fact do their works in the SPIRIT OF DIVINE LOVE because it was in their hearts. Salvation is based upon one thing: OBEDIENCE TO THE COMMANDS TO SEARCH OUT THE LORD WITH ALL THE HEART, MIND, SOUL AND STRENGTH. That is actually what the strait gate and narrow way are all about. It is the SEARCH FOR THE TRUTH WITH ALL DUE DILIGENCE.

This series is about how to get saved in truth, not the walk after the fact. That is why all of the focus is upon this encounter with Christ, for the destiny of every soul on Earth is determined by having this encounter or not. Indeed, it is easy to prove that the gnostics were totally correct when they said SALVATION IS DIRECTLY TIED TO THIS ENCOUNTER WITH THE LORD. Jesus proves it over and over again, and it is a mystery to me as to why people refuse to accept what Christ has to say about it. There is nothing to interpret, it is so clearly and bluntly stated.

In Chapter Five we will tie any loose ends together, bring our even more comments of the Lord concerning the esoteric and gnostic nature of salvation.

 

LIGHTGATE BLOGGER

THE LAST CALL – JESUS CHRIST, CHIEF OF THE GNOSTICS? CHAPTER THREE

CHAPTER THREE

ARE BELIEVERS TO BECOME ESOTERIC GNOSTICS?

 

We have now shown you how Jesus Christ states very bluntly that He was an esoteric gnostic, that is, He had an exclusive and confidential and hidden experiential knowledge of God the Father, and that He and He alone at that time was the only individual upon Earth that had that knowledge. No matter how you cut it, that is exclusive in the extreme. In other words, HE KNEW WHAT NO ONE ELSE KNEW. Now of course that kind of remark brings about anger in the minds of fallen mankind, because they do not realize they are fallen, number one, and that they are in full rebellion against their creator, number two. Bring those two together and you have livid anger against anyone who would make such statements as that, and that is as true today as it was back then.

The question is this: Did Jesus Christ ask His disciples to become esoteric gnostics as well? In other words, did Jesus command that His followers were to obtain some sort of HIDDEN and SECRET INFORMATION that the world at large did not have? Further, did Jesus inform us that this hidden and secret knowledge was the actual KEY TO SALVATION? In other words, if you did not have this exclusive and hidden or secret knowledge, this experiential encounter with the Godhead, that you were not saved? These are crucial questions in light of what we have discovered so far. And that may be exactly why the millions of Christians are rejected in Matthew Seven.

Let’s start with Matthew 7:21, where we left off Chapter Two and I will comment where necessary:

Matt 7:21-27

21 “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

This is interesting in that true rebirth or being “born again” or “regenerated” allows one to enter heaven – so obviously just because someone call Jesus Lord, Lord, does not allow them into the Kingdom. No one but a Christian would call Jesus “Lord, Lord” in the first place, so then they must have had faith and belief in Christ to call Him that! So much for your faith only, belief only crowd! There is more here, much more.

Luke 6:46-49

46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?

 

In other words, why are you calling me THE LORD, but you pay no attention at all to what I command you to do? Interesting remark that the modern day Christian should seriously consider. Now notice what follows: ONLY THE ONES WHO DO THE WILL OF THE FATHER WILL ENTER INTO HEAVEN. Here we have TWO COMMANDS OF OBEDIENCE, a nasty word for sure to modern Christian theology which says any form of obedience is a “work” or some type of “legalism” or “law keeping”. So then, we might ask, what is the WILL OF THE FATHER?

John 6:37-40

37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.

(Notice it does not say “all that the Father giveth me shall believe in me, have faith in me, but rather that they actually COME TO JESUS CHRIST VIA THE NARROW WAY).

38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.

39 And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.

40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

This is also very blunt and to the point. The WILL OF THE FATHER is that EVERYONE WHICH SEES THE SON, and BELIEVES UPON HIM, may have everlasting life. The key word here is “SEETH” for it has everything to do with the REVELATION or MANIFESTATION OF CHRIST to the believer. Notice the condition here: SEE THE SON. It is only those WHO SEE THE SON that will be given eternal life. The word “seeth” means:

“to be a SPECTATOR OF, to DISCERN BY EXPERIENCE, TO ACKNOWLEDGE, TO LOOK UPON”

It is like the word MANIFEST MYSELF that Jesus said to the believer who loved Him and who obeyed His commands to enter in at the strait gate and walk the narrow way to LIFE, and of course, Jesus is LIFE – “He who hath the Son hath life…”

The word “manifest” (Strong’s 1718),  means to “exhibit in person, to disclose, to appear, to declare plainly, to show”. Then when Jesus says He will manifest HIMSELF PERSONALLY TO THE OBEDIENT BELIEVER, He means exactly what He says. He will COME TO THAT BELIEVER and “exhibit Himself, that is REVEAL HIMSELF, to OPENLY SHOW WHO HE REALLY IS. In order to do that, do you not have to ENCOUNTER THE LIVING CHRIST? Would you not KNOW IT when it happens? Of course you will!! Do you really think that the Lord wants His true people to “wonder if they are saved? To not know for sure?” NEVER!! He wants to prove to you by DIVINE ENCOUNTER WHO HE REALLY IS, AND WHAT THE NEW COVENANT IS ALL ABOUT!! How can you enter into an agreement with Christ if you don’t know what the agreement is about? This take it by faith, or just believe it is a lie out of hell itself. Jesus will reveal the hidden secret of the eons, the hidden mystery of God, but only to those who do as HE COMMANDS THEM. The others will wander through life, never knowing why they are here, what God wants from them, and their purpose in life. They die and go into ruin. As an old man once said, “life is hard, then we die and go to a worse place…” How true it is.

So then, it is the will of the Father that the believer is to become a spectator of, to know by experience, to acknowledge by looking upon THE SON OF GOD. This is in total harmony with hundreds of other statements. How can that happen unless Jesus Christ MANIFESTS HIMSELF, REVEALS HIMSELF to the true obedient believer? How could anyone truly DISCERN WHO THE SON IS unless Christ reveals who He really is? In other words, in simple English, it is the will of the Father that a person come into an EXPERIENTIAL ENCOUNTER WITH THE LIVING CHRIST!! Is that not GNOSTIC? How can anyone say it is not?

There are a number of verses that actually speak of this esoteric gnostic encounter with the Lord that apostates claim are SECOND ADVENT, when it fact they could NEVER BE SECOND ADVENT STATEMENTS but rather are Christ manifesting Himself to the believer at the time of their “refreshing” that comes from the presence of the Lord.

We could say that the believer who has COME TO CHRIST IN TRUTH, by the WAY that Christ demanded, which is the STRAIT GATE AND NARROW WAY is the only one who will see Christ openly displayed!!!! There is no other way into the New Covenant that the human race was given.  Here it is:

 

Matt 7:13-15

13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

So here we have the command. We also find that this NARROW WAY leadeth unto LIFE, and FEW there be that FIND IT. Inasmuch as Jesus Christ said HE WAS LIFE, and the NARROW WAY LEADS TO IT, then it should be obvious that one must travel this mysterious NARROW WAY to its conclusion, which is SEEING THE SON, THE MANIFESTATION AND REVELATION OF THE SON OF GOD. Notice how esoteric all of this is: FEW THERE BE THAT FIND IT. In other words, millions of people may believe in the Lord and have FAITH in the Lord, but most of them are on the broad way that leads to destruction. “Why do you call me Lord, Lord and NOT do what I say?” should be ringing in their ears.

This sharp division OF THE MANY AND THE FEW appears over and over again – the many and few, all of which are Christians, followers of the Lord. Jesus Christ is the Son. John tells us that “he who hath the Son hath life, and he that hath not the Son hath not life”. So then, if the narrow way leads to LIFE, it leads to the GNOSTIC ENCOUNTER WITH CHRIST. You have no other options. In fact the Bible is a book of NO OPTIONS.

Notice that Jesus tells us that there are multitudes of false prophets, who dress up in sheep’s clothing, that is, they appear to the world as devout Christian leaders, but they are fakes, they are frauds. They are, in fact, the leaders and shakers of modern Christianity. They are the preachers, teachers, evangelists and prophetic scholars of today, with few exceptions – and just as Peter warns us, they MOCK the narrow way, and they themselves speak evil of it, and cause others to mock it and speak evil of it as well. “What narrow way, what strait gate? We need only to have faith and believe, you bring another Christ and you bring another gospel, you are an anathema, a heretic.” Go visit their websites and see “how to get saved”. None of it agrees with what Jesus Christ actually told you.

But if this Narrow Way leads to Jesus Christ, then how would one know when they had actually COME TO HIM IN TRUTH? How would they know that they had completed the journey? How could they KNOW experientially that that phase of their Christian walk was over? Jesus gives us the answer which should be obvious by now – HE WILL MANIFEST HIMSELF PERSONALLY TO THE BELIEVER. HE WILL REVEAL HIMSELF TO THAT BELIEVER. This is gnostic to the core, and it is also esoteric to the core, because only SELECT FEW WILL FIND CHRIST AND WHO WILL KNOW WHO HE IS!! Did He not say that he experientially KNEW HIS SHEEP, and that they experientially KNEW HIM?

Here is the the one and only reason Jesus Christ rejects the MULTITUDES OF CHRISTIANS:

22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

The “knew” here means He, Jesus had never had an experiential ENCOUNTER with any of those “professed” Christians. Here is how the actual Greek is accurately translated:

“And then I will declare in a public announcement to them,

I NEVER CAME TO KNOW YOU EXPERIENTIALLY.”

Kenneth S. Wuest THE NEW TESTAMENT, AND EXPANDED TRANSLATION.

 

Notice that Jesus did not contradict these poor Christians. He does not ever say they did not do what they claimed they did. It was not the point, for indeed they did do exactly what they said they did. The point was that that which they mocked (STRAIT GATE, NARROW WAY, and the ESOTERIC AND GNOSTIC ENCOUNTER WITH CHRIST), was exactly why they were tossed aside.

They all said there was no such “experiential encounter” with Christ. They said it was all garbage, all of the Satan and the occult. They ridiculed it, and they railed against it with livid anger, just as Peter said they would. It cost them heaven. They may have known ALL ABOUT WHO CHRIST WAS, and they may have memorized the Bible backwards and forwards, they may have been “experts” in the Word of God, but they DID NOT KNOW CHRIST ON A PERSONAL ONE TO ONE LEVEL. THEY NEVER ENCOUNTERED HIM, THEY NEVER HAD A MANIFESTATION. Therefore they did not really know or understand who He really was. They were “ever learning, but never able to come to an EXPERIENTIAL KNOWLEDGE of the truth.” Do you understand what that means? How serious this thing really is? WAKE UP for YOUR TIME IS SHORT!

Do you see? Jesus rejected them only for that one reason – they never had an esoteric gnostic encounter with Him, and He requires it to be saved.

It is Jesus Christ, who came IN THE FLESH as our redeemer and as Messiah. It is therefore Jesus Christ that we are to come to IN TRUTH. Many times Jesus said for us to COME TO HIM, not just believe or have faith in Him. In other words, our belief, faith and trust in Him are to be used as  a dynamic FORCE to propel us to do as He commanded we do: ENTER IN AT THE STRAIT GATE.

Jesus bluntly told us that ONLY A FEW will actually find Him in an experiential encounter. The “many” Christians will not. They mock that concept. They flat out do not believe it, and refuse to acknowledge that it even might be true. It does not matter what Christ said. I have been warning people now for years and years, and all I get back with few exceptions is that I am a heretic and a liar, and the Words of Christ be damned. So be it. I can vouch for the Words of Christ, for I met Him one on one, face to face. It is all true, and it is all so esoteric and gnostic.

If you will not believe Jesus Christ when He says He will MANIFEST HIMSELF, REVEAL HIMSELF to the one that OBEYS HIS COMMANDS, then you have assigned yourself to eternal ruin, for there is no other ticket, no other way into heaven. People rail and rail against this “gnostic” concept in the face of hundreds of statements direct from Christ. They are calling Jesus Christ a LIAR OF THE FIRST MAGNITUDE. Not a wise thing to do when it comes to salvation.

Again, Jesus tells us that there was only ONE REASON the multitudes of Christians are set aside. THEY NEVER HAD AN ESOTERIC AND GNOSTIC ENCOUNTER WITH HIM. You can deny it all you want, it does not change the reality of it. You can be willfully ignorant if you so choose. However, it will cost you heaven in the end.

Now here is a rage against the Gnostics, it which the writer claims that Paul was not a gnostic and that he railed against them. Paul did in fact teach that salvation was found only in an encounter with the divine. In any event, here is this rage against it – now please understand that the early gnostic had some real strange beliefs, but they had ONE THING right, that SALVATION WAS IN FACT AN ENCOUNTER WITH THE LIVING CHRIST, something Jesus Himself said over and over again in many different ways:

“Realistically however, there was also a “point” to the canon. The goal and even eternal function in assembling the earliest Bibles was NOT merely sorting out what was inspired of God and what was not. They also had the specific intent of promoting and preserving a solid doctrinal foundation for all believers in Christ. Like Paul, they had to passionately argue against Gnosticism – “the doctrine of salvation by knowledge (8),” or the idea that gaining “superior” and/or “hidden” knowledge ensures one some higher spiritual position – opposed to a simple obedient faith in Christ.

(Here we find the modern argument that Gnosticism is a fraud, and that all one needs is “simple obedient faith in Christ”. However Jesus Himself said that if you REALLY HAD FAITH IN HIM, IF YOU REALLY BELIEVED AND TRUSTED HIM, then you would obey Him, enter the strait gate, walk the narrow way and FIND HIM. Paul himself said he was waiting for the acknowledgement from the believer of this encounter and that he himself had an esoteric and gnostic encounter with the Lord on the road to Damascus!!

Col 2:2

2 That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;

ACKNOWLEDGE:

ACKNOWLEDGE (-MENT

A. Verb

epiginosko (

e)piginw/skw

<END GREEK>, NT:1921) signifies (a) “to know thoroughly” (epi “intensive,” ginosko, “to know”); (b) “to recognize a thing to be“What it really is”, to acknowledge,” 1 Cor 14:37 (RV, “take knowledge of”); 16:18; 1:13,14. See KNOW, KNOWLEDGE, PERCEIVE.

Note: In 1 John 2:23, “acknowledgeth” translates the verb homologeo, “to confess,” RV, “confesseth.

B. Noun

epignosis (

e)pi/gnwsi$

<END GREEK>, NT:1922), akin to A, “full, or thorough knowledge, discernment, recognition,” is translated “acknowledging” in the KJV of 2 Tim 2:25; Titus 1:1 and Philem 6 (in all three, RV, “knowledge,” properly, “thorough knowledge”). In Col 2:2, KJV, “acknowledgement,” RV, “that they may know” (i. e., “unto the full knowledge). See KNOWLEDGE.

(from Vine’s Expository Dictionary of Biblical Words, Copyright © 1985, Thomas Nelson Publishers.)

Paul is looking for the Christians brethren to acknowledge that the MYSTERY OF GOD AND CHRIST has been shown to them by Divine revelation, for God and Christ are in fact a MYSTERY, HIDDEN AWAY, SECRET AND JESUS WAS VERY BLUNT – HE WOULD REVEAL HIMSELF TO ANYONE HE CHOSE!!

Arguing for 1 Enoch’s “proper place” today, one (seemingly) Gnostic apologist states “Enoch had found and experienced God face-to-face, something which Gnostics strive for. The Church opposed Gnostics… Experiencing God was taboo… Putting a stamp of approval on such a wild tale (Enoch) would have too many people believing that they could experience God for themselves, instead of going into a church and being told what to believe… Those who experienced visions or personal insights became dangerous to the church. They could lead people astray by supporting independent thought and actions (3).” It’s quite difficult to seriously consider this argument however, in light of the fact that a more common criticism of Catholocism is that they “worship,” or at least perhaps TOO highly esteem, those who have had profound mystical experiences with God! For that matter, the Bible is NOTHING BUT a collection of “those who experienced visions or personal insights.” It would quite a thin book if all such stories were left out!

The truth is that Gnostics “strive(d) for” experiencing God without knowing and submitting to Christ or His Body, the church. Even today, the wish to “experience God face-to-face” without Christ’s mediation (1 Timothy 2:5) is not just an honest effort to avoid false religion (of which there is much), but to not submit to any spiritual authority at all –

(This is such a ridiculous statement I have to comment on it – the command of Jesus Christ was to SEEK HIM OUT WITH ALL DILIGENCE, TO ASK, SEEK, KNOCK AND STRIVE FOR THE TRUTH. How is it then, that the Bible itself says “you have no need of men to teach you…” because the Holy Spirit ALONE will teach the believer? How is it then that those WHO DO THIS, and fully obey the Lord, are not submitting to any SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY AT ALL? What a true heresy that is – the Gnostics are in point of fact SUBMITTING TO THE FULL AUTHORITY OF THE GODHEAD, and the established Church refuses to do so!!

In the Old Testament we find God commanding the individual believer to SEARCH FOR THE LORD WITH ALL THEIR MIND, STRENGTH, HEART, AND ALL OF THEIR SOUL and if they would, they would find Him. To do so is to SUBMIT AND OBEY the commands of the Lord. How can anyone say they are not submitting to any spiritual authority? No, this is all a church power and control play, submit yourself to unsaved, unregenerate liars and deceivers, but DO NOT submit yourself to the direct commands of your Lord. What a TOTAL FRAUD!!!

The point here is that the modern day Church has NOTHING to do with the real truth, but is rather a POWER PLAY to usurp the authority of Christ and place it in the hands of unregenerate men and women who “claim” to represent Jesus Christ. In the Book of Revelation John portrays the modern Christian Church as a monster, an evil monster. In that regard the Protestants are no different than the Catholics, for none of them obey Christ and that is exactly why they are sent away. They blatantly refused the direct commands of Jesus Christ to search Him out.  

“…but to not submit to any spiritual authority at all – whether it be God’s Church, God’s Word or even God’s Christ! It should always be kept in perspective that “the church” was not Rome’s, or even man’s idea. Jesus said “I will build my church, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it (Mt 16:18).” The early church rightly opposed Gnosticism, but beginning with Paul’s letters, not with the Roman Church…”

Well, there is a TRUE CHURCH, and then there is the FALSE MEGA CHURCH. This person is so deceived that it is astounding. Yet here is the main argument against the “gnostics” and today’s Christians believe it, which is why I presented it .

IS THIS GNOSTIC ENCOUNTER SALVATION?

We will explore this more in Chapter Four, for we have seen only a few of the gnostic encounter verses and there are many. It boils down to a fully experiential encounter with the Divine. Does that mean that anyone who does not have this encounter is lost? You saw the remarks of Jesus Christ in Matthew Seven. He said bluntly that the only reason He sent the millions of Christians away was for only one reason: HE NEVER CAME INTO AN EXPERIENTIAL ENCOUNTER OF UNION WITH THEM. He never “experientially knew” who they were. There was never a “Spock” mind melt moment to coin a New Age term, and STAR TREK is clearly occult to its core, but this encounter with Christ is very close to what this is – a JOINING TOGETHER OF MINDS. Look up the word “quickening” or “quicken” if you don’t believe it.

Let’s turn to John who gives us many clues as to what this gnostic encounter really is and what it entails:

1 John 3:1-2

3 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

 

 How can anyone read this and not understand what is being said here? First of all, look at the word “behold”. It is “eido” which means to look upon, to perceive, to see. It is essentially the same as SEE or MANIFEST. We are to BEHOLD THE DIVINE LOVE OF CHRIST, we are to LOOK UPON IT, SEE IT, PERCEIVE IT and UNDERSTAND IT. Why?

God tells us that unless TWO BE IN AGREEMENT, they cannot walk together. So how can you agree to walk with God in the NEW COVENANT unless He shows you what He wants? How can you agree with God that His love type (what manner) of DIVINE LOVE is far superior to your own if you have not looked upon it and been shown it? You see, this is why Jesus commanded us to come to THE LIGHT TO HAVE OUR DEEDS REPROVED. He also told us the vast majority of people would not do it:

John 3:19-21

19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

Do you see how simple this really is? The LIGHT OF CHRIST is DIVINE AGAPE LOVE. Every single person on Earth will be judged AGAINST the LOVE OF CHRIST. No one can stand, because no one has it within them. They lost DIVINE AGAPE at the fall of mankind. It is NOT in them. It is not in man’s nature at all. Mankind is DEVOID of DIVINE LOVE. Therefore he will, at the judgment, FALL INTO RUIN. Christ came and showed us the way to COME TO THE LIGHT TO HAVE OUR DEEDS REPROVED or JUDGED.We stand before Christ and look into what His Love really is, and we compare that to our own “love deeds” in our life. We fall terribly short.

That is THE JUDGMENT. We are lost. Christ then steps forward and will offer HIS LOVE TO YOU, TO COVER YOU AND YOUR SINS. This is the offer of the WHITE ROBES OF CHRIST. If you accept HIS LOVE, there is a LOVE TYPE EXCHANGE. Your fallen and defective self-centered love for His. That is true Biblical repentance, it is a LOVE TYPE CHANGE. So then, when the Bible says FIRST TO DIE, THEN THE JUDGMENT, Christ is offering you the strait gate and narrow way for a mysterious DEATH and you journey to the LOWEST ROOM and the PIT OF DEATH, and this is a very strange walk, a WAY YOU KNOW NOT, unless you have walked it. Paul said “WE KNOW WE HAVE BEEN CRUCIFIED WITH CHRIST”. He was referring to the DEATH OF THE NARROW WAY. It is done while you are still alive and walking around, and there is nothing like this narrow way. Hollywood could never come up with anything even close to what  this walk really is, and FEW THERE BE that will undertake it, not because they cannot, but because they are to married to the world to do it.

Inasmuch as CHRIST is THAT LIGHT, then what are we being told? That we must, once again, have an esoteric and gnostic experiential ENCOUNTER WITH CHRIST to have our judgment WHILE WE ARE YET ALIVE. Remember that God says HE IS THE GOD OF THE LIVING, NOT OF THE DEAD? That means Jesus Christ gave you, out of His MERCY, COMPASSION AND GRACE, the right to enter in at the STRAIT GATE, walk the NARROW WAY to the LIGHT OF CHRIST, to be judged, found guilty and then BE OFFERED ETERNAL LIFE. He also says that men loved darkness and would not come to the light. It should be obvious to you by now that the MANY CHRISTIANS NEVER EVER CAME TO THE LIGHT WHO IS CHRIST. If they had, He would KNOW THEM.

Do you see what happened to the many Christians that Christ sends away? HE IS THE LIGHT, and they NEVER CAME TO THE LIGHT, thus they NEVER UNDERWENT “ONCE TO DIE AND THEN THE JUDGMENT”. They refused this judgment that Christ offered. They die in their sins, and Jesus cannot offer them salvation then, for it only applies WHILE YOU ARE ALIVE.

And notice John says that this BESTOWEMENT of this DIVINE AGAPE LOVE is what makes us a SON OF GOD. That means that that soul CAME TO THE LIGHT, HAD THEIR DEEDS REPROVED, ACCEPTED THE TERMS OF THE NEW COVENANT, and Christ gave them HIS DIVINE AGAPE, HE CAME INTO THEM, COVERS THEM WITH HIS ROBES OF RIGHTEOUSNESS.

Dreams, visions, and all of that are NOT AT ALL what saves a person. This is very specific and very direct: IT IS THE REVELATION OF, THE MANIFESTATION OF THE SPIRIT OF JESUS CHRIST, who is DIVINE AGAPE LOVE. Jesus is the New Covenant, and the New Covenant is a SPIRITUAL covenant. You cannot enter into a COVENANT with the Lord without the Lord showing you what it is, how it works, what is means. Remember that Jesus said that God was a Spirit, and God was DIVINE LOVE. Thus we are to not only BEHOLD THE LOVE OF CHRIST, but if we will ACCEPT IT God will give it to us – that is, He bestows it to the believer – the white robes of Christ. That believer is now eternally secure in Christ for he has passed from death unto life and cannot come under condemnation.

John 5:24-29

24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

Notice the word “heareth”. Those that have ears to hear DO WHAT THEY ARE TOLD. Now if you have God bestow Divine Love to you, that is, He gives it to you, then you are a NEW CREATION, a NEW CREATURE, AND THAT MAKES YOU A SON OF GOD. Do you see? To be a Son of God means you have BEEN BORN AGAIN, OR BORN FROM ABOVE. It also means you are an OVERCOMER, an interesting word you might want to look up.  Otherwise you remain in spiritual darkness, and are not a true Son of God, but as the Bible tells us, you are a “bastard” son, and no “bastard son or daughter” will ever enter into heaven. The multitudes of Christians who are rejected out of hand by Jesus Christ were all, in fact, BASTARD SONS AND DAUGHTERS. Look up the word “bastard’ for yourself – it means not legitimate, a fake, and it hinges upon one thing: experientially knowing the Lord of Lords and King of Kings.

Once again, however, we find this esoteric and gnostic encounter with the Lord in the word “BEHOLD” WHAT MANNER OF LOVE. All of this is denied by modern Christianity which is a fraud of the worst type.

Do we have more proof of this encounter? Yes we do and here is a key one found in the Book of Revelation Chapter 3:

Rev 3:20-22

20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

This statement by the Lord is actually the key to the entire debate about the validity of the gnostic point of view. Let me ask a simple question, and please use intellectual and scriptural honesty when you answer it: How is it possible to HEAR THE VOICE OF CHRIST, and have HIM COME INTO YOU, AND SUP WITH YOU unless you have an experiential encounter with Him? This says what it says, it is literal and it means what it says. You will, if you do as you are told, come into a DIRECT ENCOUNTER WITH THE LIVING CHRIST. He will speak with you, He will call you by name, and He will show you He is real, and what His SPIRIT is all about. Here is what John says about hearing the voice of Christ:

John 10:25-30

25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father’s name, they bear witness of me.

26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.

27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.

30 I and my Father are one.

And this:

John 10:1-3

10 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.

2 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.

 

Jesus Christ will call you BY NAME. You will hear HIS VOICE, and HE WILL COME TO YOU, AND IF YOU OPEN THE DOOR OF YOUR INNER HEART, HE WILL COME INTO YOU, SUP WITH YOU AND GIVE YOU ETERNAL LIFE. That is all very esoteric and gnostic. All of this means what it says, and says what it means. You have a choice. You can either believe Christ and his direct blunt remarks or you can chase after all of the fake preachers, teachers, evangelists, so called watchmen and prophetic scholars that are out there filling the TV, radio , websites, books and videos with their fake salvation message. Peter says their damnation slumbers not, so that means yours doesn’t either if you believe the garbage they are feeding you when it comes to salvation.

I will close this chapter with the same warning I began with. You must, you must, come to Jesus Christ as a LITTLE CHILD, and you must get rid of all of your “I knows”, which are your biases, your prejudices and “isms”. These are FILTERS that filters out the real truth and makes you one of the Christians in the parable of the sower who never came to any fruit. This is real, it is all to real and you need to face up to it in intellectual honesty. Christ actually was and still is a gnostic, as well as being God, Creator, Messiah and Redeemer. He said what He said. Accept it, believe it, and obey Him. You have very little time left to do so.

Become a little child. Remember what Jesus said:

Luke 10:21-22

21 In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.

22 All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him.

Notice the word “babes”. It confirms why Christ told you to come to him as a little child. You may think you know a whole lot about the Bible. You may think you are wise and prudent. If so, the Lord says right here you WILL NOT FIND THE TRUTH. In point of fact you know nothing about it, and you will not until you come to Christ and He shows you the REAL TRUTH and what all of it REALLY MEANS. And it does not at all mean what you think it means. Nicodemus was a master teacher of Israel. Then he came to Christ by night and found out he knew nothing at all. It was a truth, because all that he thought he knew was vanity; worthless. All of your so-called KNOWLEDGE OF SCRIPTURE is VANITY; WORTHLESS. When you meet Christ, you will find out why that is so. And then you will say “this is so simple, why could I not see it!”

Look up these terms for yourself. Give due diligence. Take no one’s word for anything. Do not believe anything I have told you. We have never in all the years of our ministry told anyone to believe anything we have said. Instead we have pleaded with people to CHECK IT OUT FOR THEMSELVES. Ask the Holy Ghost to show you the real truth of it all. Check it out, you will find it is all to true. Ask the Holy Ghost to show you the truth of it all. Check out words like REVEAL, MANIFEST, KNOW, SEE, BEHOLD, and so on. Believe what it says, for it means exactly what it says.

As I said previously, if you want a much deeper search into the mysteries of God, go to http://www.thelightgate.com and download Dark/Light. It is a research document of about 800 pages or so and digs deep into this mystery of Salvation. It is FREE. No one to date has ever disproved any of it. So here is the challenge: Prove that Jesus did not say it, that He did not mean it, or that it does not apply to you. Prove it with Scripture, not theology, not opinions, not bias or some stupid denominational theology. Prove it with Scripture and Scripture alone.

In chapter four we will finish this debate with many more proofs that SALVATION IS IN FACT CONTINGENT UPON AN ESOTERIC AND GNOSTIC ENCOUNTER WITH THE LORD. Accept no substitutes or knock –offs. Don’t take any wooden nickels.

Let us leave this chapter three with this quote from Kenneth Wuest’s Expanded New Testament:

“The one who is KNOWING GOD IN AN EXPERIENTIAL WAY is listening to us. He who is not out of God is not listening to us. From this we know experientially the SPIRIT OF TRUTH and the SPIRIT OF ERROR.” First John 3:6

One final thing: Why is it that when I post on the subject of salvation that hardly anyone ever comments, but when I post stuff about THIS WORLD and the THINGS OF THIS WORLD, we get many more comments – does this mean you folks are more interested in THIS WORLD than the NEXT? Just wondering…

LIGHTGATE BLOGGER

THE LAST CALL – JESUS CHRIST, CHIEF OF THE GNOSTICS? CHAPTER TWO

CHAPTER TWO

WAS JESUS REALLY A GNOSTIC?

 

In chapter One we brought out the definition for the words gnostic and esoteric, because they join together in the Bible – that is, a direct knowledge of the Godhead and who they are, and that this knowledge is only given to the few who will diligently search the matter out. To refresh your memory, here is the definition of gnosis:

“Gnosis (γνῶσις) refers to knowledge of the second kind. Therefore, in a religious context, to be “Gnostic” should be understood as being reliant not on knowledge in a general sense, but as being specially receptive to mystical or esoteric experiences of direct participation with the divine. Indeed, in most Gnostic systems the sufficient cause of salvation is this “knowledge of” (“acquaintance with”) the divine. This is commonly identified with a process of inward “knowing” or self-exploration, comparable to that encouraged by Plotinus (c. 205 – 270 AD). This is what helps separate Gnosticism from proto-orthodox views, where the orthodox views are considered to be superficial.^[23] The inadequate take then requires a correct form of interpretation. With “gnosis” comes a fuller insight that is considered to be more spiritual. Greater recognition of the deeper spiritual meanings of doctrines, scriptures, and rituals are obtained with this insight. However, as may be seen, the term “gnostic” also had precedent usage in several ancient philosophical traditions, which must also be weighed in considering the very subtle implications of its appellation to a set of ancient religious groups”

And the word “esoteric” which means:

Definition of ESOTERIC

1

“a : designed for or understood by the specially initiated alone <a body of esoteric legal doctrine — B. N. Cardozo>

b : requiring or exhibiting knowledge that is restricted to a small group <esoteric terminology>; broadly : difficult to understand <esoteric subjects>

2

a : limited to a small circle <engaging in esoteric pursuits>

b : private, confidential <an esoteric purpose>

3

: of special, rare, or unusual interest <esoteric building materials”.

 

These definitions are of extreme importance when discussing TRUE Christianity vs. the fraudulent Christianity that Jesus warned would come to the Church as time went by, and indeed it has.

As we said, modern Christians would declare any sort of Gnosticism or esoteric concepts an anathema, something to be totally Satanic and demonic, New Age mysticism or totally of the occult world. Our question is simple: is that belief correct, or is it false? As we said in Chapter One, if you cannot bring yourself to be intellectually and scripturally honest, then don’t read further, for this debate requires both.

The question for this chapter is simple. Could we truthfully and accurately declare that Jesus Christ Himself was a gnostic, and further, did He teach any form of esoteric concepts? We will answer that question with Scripture alone. Many people and TV programs go to great lengths to prove that the Holy Bible does not contain any gnostic or esoteric concepts, and that Christians only need to believe and have faith in Jesus and His work on the cross, and that is their ticket to heaven. We will examine that issue as well for in fact it flies in the face of multitudes of Scripture.

So the first question is this, did Jesus claim Himself a gnostic and did He claim any esoteric beliefs?

Matt 11:25-27

25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.

26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.

27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.

 

Now remember the definition of gnostic, that is, a direct relationship with the divine, and a superior knowledge of spiritual matters by direct contact and revelation of the Divine and the subject soul. Now obviously, one would have to admit that Jesus is not only claiming to be a gnostic, but the Chief of all gnostics in this verse, because He is claiming to be the ONLY ONE ON EARTH to have a direct spiritual knowledge of God the Father at this specific time. That is highly esoteric as well, for the meaning of the word means to have a confidential, secret, hidden spiritual knowledge revealed only to the a select few. It is a direct confirmation that Jesus was a gnostic. There is much more, even though  these verses prove it as written.

 

John 10:14-15

14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.

15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.

 

Once again Jesus claims a very special relationship with God the Father and has direct spiritual knowledge of the Father. That is the very definition of a gnostic. He goes a bit further in the above verse: He claims to have a direct SPIRITUAL KNOWLEDGE OF HIS SHEEP, and they have a DIRECT SPIRITUAL KNOWLEDGE OF HIM. How does anyone claim this is not a fully experiential spiritual knowledge of Jesus Christ towards His sheep, and His sheep KNOW HIM? How does anyone claim that this is NOT fully gnostic and further fully esoteric? One has to be in total denial and totally blind not to understand what is clearly and plainly written.

Jesus Christ is bluntly claiming gnostic knowledge of God and His true followers, called the sheep. The sheep in all cases are those that did as they were commanded and came into a gnostic relationship with the Lord. We can prove this easily a bit later. But for now here is another verse:

John 14:17-24

17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.

19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.

20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.

21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?

23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father’s which sent me.”

 

Could anything be more direct, more bluntly put? This is why modern Christianity is such a deception and a lie. The modern Christian has been taught and firmly believes that faith and belief alone are all that is necessary to be saved. Jesus says something here that is openly gnostic and openly esoteric, and claims that THE WORLD DOES NOT KNOW HIM AT ALL, and further, the WORLD KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT THE REAL TRUTH WHATSOEVER. Is that why Job says that true wisdom and true understanding ARE NOT TO BE FOUND AMONG THE LIVING? THAT IT CANNOT BE FOUND ON EARTH AT ALL? The real truth behind our reality is a secret, and is hidden from the world. It is only revealed to those who DO AS CHRIST COMMANDED. Jesus openly declares that ONLY THOSE WHO LOVE HIM AND KEEP HIS WORDS WILL COME INTO DIRECT EXPERIENTIAL AND OPEN CONTACT WITH HIM. Inasmuch as Jesus is a SPIRIT, and is now operating the affairs of the Universe, and sits in HEAVEN, then how is Jesus to come to the believer? BY FULL EXPERIENTIAL MANIFESTATION OF HIMSELF.

In other words, Jesus will OPENLY REVEAL HIMSELF personally to the obedient believer who does as he/she was told. This is a direct SPIRIT TO SPIRIT manifestation. The believer will experimentally KNOW who Jesus Christ is. The secret and the hidden aspects of who Jesus Christ really was and is will be openly shown the believer. To deny that is to be a fool and it will take you direct to ruin.

Did not Jesus say in the above verse that IN THE DAY OF THAT VISITATION that the believer WILL EXPERIENTIALLY KNOW? That the believer will ACTUALLY KNOW? Not believe in, not have faith in, but actually KNOW by direct revelation?

20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.

How could a believer KNOW? Jesus does not say “take it by faith that you know” or “believe it in your heart that you know” but said plainly and bluntly that the believer will KNOW in an ABSOLUTE WAY who He is, and who God the Father is. Remember back a ways we read this:

27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.

The creator of the Universe is hidden. But right here Jesus says that all things were delivered to Him, and He could REVEAL HIMSELF AND GOD THE FATHER to whomsoever was obedient to His commands. To deny any of this is to deny God and the written Word. It does not require interpretation, it requires ACCEPTANCE AS A CHILD. Daddy God said it, and that is all that is required.

Now the Christian of today will say “it does not mean that” or “it could not mean that”, because their traditions superseded the Word of God. They scream, “You are an anathema, you bring another gospel, you bring another Christ, this is heresy, you are a heretic.” Thus do they damn themselves by their own words.

Here is another blatantly gnostic remark of the Lord’s:

John 17:1-3

17 “These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:

2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.

3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.”

 

This is one more verse of gnostic and esoteric knowledge. Jesus here is very blunt as to what ETERNAL LIFE REALLY IS ABOUT. He tells us so directly it’s hard to understand why people don’t get the point. Eternal life, that is, “being born from above”, or “born again” is defined by the Lord Himself as having a gnostic knowledge, that is, fully experiential knowledge of the Father and Jesus Christ. The true believer is TO KNOW EXPERIENTIALLY GOD THE FATHER AND JESUS CHRIST. They are to experientially know this. More on this later. Notice Jesus does not say this:

“And this is life eternal, that they might BELIEVE and HAVE FAITH IN the only true God and Jesus Christ whom thou has sent.”

Modern Christians claim that is EXACTLY WHAT IS SAYS, for they claim they are saved by FAITH AND BELIEF, and refuse to even admit that Jesus Christ claims something else. This is why modern Christianity has no power, is totally of this world, and because it does good deeds thinks all is OK with the Lord. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Here is another gnostic comment from the Lord:

John 5:19-22

19” Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.

20 For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.

21 For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.

22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:”

 

Now one might want to ask how is that Jesus knows and sees what the Father does if He is not in DIRECT COMMUNICATION WITH HIM? Is that not fully gnostic? Is it not fully esoteric? Of course it is!!

And then this verse:

John 5:36-37

36 But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.

37 And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.

 

This is rather exclusive don’t you think? In fact no one else is involved here, just Jesus and the Father. That is esoteric to the extreme!! He goes further and says He has heard the voice of the Father and seen His shape obviously, while no one else in the world has. That is also very exclusive, confidential and hidden knowledge of the Godhead. How does anyone get around this?

John 6:45-48

45 “It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.

 

46 Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.”

 

This is quite blunt, is it not? Jesus is claiming here that HE ALONE AS SEEN AND KNOWS THE FATHER. Once again we find a gnostic knowledge and a very esoteric relationship.

John 14:10

10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.

 

We could go on and on, but what’s the point? Either you will believe what the Bible says, or you will not. Either you will accept the gnostic and esoteric nature of Jesus Christ or you will not. And either you will search this matter out for yourself or you will not. It is not the Lord’s will that any perish, but rather that they come to a gnostic and esoteric knowledge of the Lord and be saved, as we saw in John 17 or they will not. Now we come to a very scary statement of scripture that proves the gnostic involvement in salvation – and verifies John 17 and the prayer of Jesus for His true sheep. We find it in Matthew Chapter Seven and why Jesus Christ rejects out of hand MILLIONS UPON MILLIONS OF CHRISTIANS.

Matt 7:21-27

21 “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

 

26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:

27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.”

 

Why did Jesus Christ reject these Christians? He says why very bluntly, as usual – HE DID NOT COME TO GNOSTIC KNOWLEDGE OF THEM, NOR THEY WITH HIM. That is the only reason given. There is no other – they failed to take the commands of Christ to enter in at the STRAIT GATE and walk the NARROW WAY UNTO TRUE ETERNAL LIFE, which is IN THE SON. Recall that Jesus said that ETERNAL LIFE IS KNOWING IN AN EXPERIENTIAL WAY HIMSELF AND GOD THE FATHER. Those are His words. He also said that He and the Father were one. Do you see? You are to SEARCH OUT AND FIND JESUS CHRIST, not just believe in Him and have FAITH in Him.

How does one do that? ENTER IN AT THE STRAIT GATE. There is no other way. There is only ONE WAY IN.

So Jesus was very blunt here. You hear His words, and if you do them (enter in and walk the narrow way), or you hear His words and do them not. If you do, you are wise, if you do not, you are a fool. There is nothing more important than salvation of the human soul and spirit. It is only there that true wisdom and true understanding are found. That is why Jesus told you to pick up YOUR CROSS and FOLLOW HIM. He went to Calvary and there He died upon the cross and made a way for us to ENTER IN. If he did it all for us, then why did He command you to pick up your own cross?

In Chapter Three, we will examine if the Lord commanded all of us to become gnostics and to have an esoteric knowledge that only a few have. It will be proven that indeed He did, and indeed He commanded us to do so. It is not Satanic, it is not New Age, and it is not of the occult. It comes direct from the mouth of our Lord and Savior. To heed them is to be wise, to reject them is to be fool and to go into eternal ruin.
