Civilization Division

Hear Ye, Hear Ye! “I GIVE YOU THE TRUTH.” It’s based on Biblical theology?research and on a February 14, 1969 substantive personal life after death experience. “It’s the one thing I’m sure of.”

No one living individual is a messiah. As in, the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ (Peake’s Commentary on the Bible, Edited by Matthew Black and H. H. Rowley; Commentaries – New Testament: The Epistles of Paul, by F. F. Bruce. Eschatological Expectation, p. 929, 806f. Wherein, the Bible tells us: The Parousia (the second coming of Christ) is still seen as the day of judgment and review (Rom. 2:16, 14:10ff.), and the day of salvation and glory (8:17, 13:11).

Certainly, one is sadly mistaken, when thinking and following otherwise by putting trust in a corporeal living soul; and should take mindfulness in the Word of God. For, “The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light” (the Holy Bible: Romans 13:12, AV).

Planet Earth’s plane of existence is God’s footstool (Isa. 66:1-2), not mankind’s ownership used as a steppingstone onto becoming a proclaimed Messiah; by followers without forethought to right and wrong, good and evil. But likened too sheep, man goes astray by his own free will; and encapsulates religions to manifest Ego to heights of sacrilege. Instead, of trusting and praising his creator’s Holy Name, man thinks and strokes and praises his ego. Confused? Consider this: 1 Cor. 14:10-33; specif v. 33, “For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.”

God is light (1 John 1-5; specif v. 5). God is not religion. Nor, is man god; take heed, e.g., Luke 17:20-37.

Citing 2 Pet. 1:20-21: “Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost;” to then highlight 2 Pet. Chap. 2 and Chap. 3:1-7; specif v. 7: “But the heavens and the earth which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.”

“For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works (2 Cor. 11:13-15).

But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them (2 Cor. 4:3-4).” Also, John 10:10.

Hear Ye, Hear Ye! “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. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. 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. 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; And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; And turning the cities of Sodom and Go-mor-rha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly; 2 Pet. 2:1-6."

In Holy Scripture, it reads: “The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the Lord (Jer. 23:28).” As well, Ps. 73:20; Jer. 1:1-5.

So then, in Jer. 1:1-5, who is Jeremiah? A prophet, vv. 4-5: “Then the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Before I formed thee in the belly, I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.”

But read onto the end of Jer. Chap. 23, to gain awareness and its wisdom by v. 40: “And I will bring an everlasting reproach upon you, and a perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten.”

Evil is insidious. Establishing itself into the free will of man and his manmade religions. In effect, concealment not seen, until its masked timing is demonstrated within man ways (Isa. 55:7-13); and where man’s susceptibility is but a playground then claimed in the name of God. Execrably, it brings chaos, due to the lack of faith in God. Until, the ground, it’s basis, on which their foundation fails.

Civilization division is clearly known in Holy Scripture; e.g., when Isaiah prophesied of certain Pharisees and scribes from Jerusalem, in asking Jesus, “Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? They wash not their hands when they eat bread.”

In those times, many old laws in tradition exist concerning the washing of pots and cups, and brass vessels and tables.

As it’s written, Jesus replied, “This people honoreth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of me. 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. Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition. For Moses said, ‘Honor thy father and thy mother,’ and, ‘Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death.’ 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.’ And ye suffer him no more to do aught for his father or his mother; making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered; and many such like things do ye.”

Then Jesus called all the people to him and said: “Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand. There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him. But the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man. If any man have ears to hear, let him hear (The Words of Jesus: John A. Dickson Publishing Company, pp. 88-90; the Holy Bible: Matt. 15:1-28; Mark 7:1-23, AV).”

Hear Ye, Hear Ye! While times change and brings modernization to life, Jesus words remain for humanity too grasp: “There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him. But the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man. If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.”

Most revealing to civilization is when Jesus Warns in Parables. One, of which, called “The Rich Man and Lazarus,” whose story still holds true centuries later in the year of our Lord. It’s a story of division…but is so much more.

Hear Ye, Hear Ye! Can you spot its ingrained parallel wisdom meaning for generations of man throughout human existence?

“There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day. And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus (Lazarus means God is my help), which was laid at his gate, full of sores, and desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table. Moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died, and was buried; and in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.’ But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things. But now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed; so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence. Then he said, ‘I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father’s house, for I have five brethren, that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.’ Abraham saith unto him, ‘They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.’ And he said, ‘Nay, father Abraham, but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.’ And he said unto him, ‘If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead. (The Words of Jesus; John A. Dickson Publishing Company, pp. 175-176, 269-271; the Holy Bible: Luke 16-19-31, AV).”

Theological love is free will. Because God is not something evident to our senses, it is clear that the love of God is an act of will, even when it is done selfishly. While we tend to think of love as an emotion, theological love is an act of the will. Its object is known only by the mind in faith and in hope.

God’s gift of free will is an opportunity to choose good vs. evil. Light vs. darkness. Understanding, God is light (1 John 1:1-5); outside time and space (Isa. 45:5-7; specif v. 7: “I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.”)

In my perspective, it is confirmation. “Knowing, Physics Encounters Consciousness, as proven by Quantum Enigma, Second Edition, by Bruce Rosenblum and Fred Kuttner; FAPP;” [Citing, Foreword p. – “John Bell, perhaps the leading quantum theorist of the latter half of the twentieth century…FAPP is Bell’s suggested abbreviation of ‘for all practical purposes.’”]

“For, my life after death experience enlightens and inspires me. Accepting, above all else, ‘God’s in control. God does his part and I do mine.’ Is that not very, very interesting?”
