...and His 'name' is called The Word of God; 'name' means 'handiwork' !



    In prophecy, divine "names" mean divine "handiworks." "Name" means "handiwork." Thus, the beasts' names reveal the "handiworks" or "missions" of the rulers! The 'name' of man on Earth was prophesied to subdue all  inhabitants of the earth into modern-form of slavery. The epitome phrases which reveal the nature of the 'name' says: "16 It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, 17 so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the 'name' of the beast or the number of its 'name' ['handiwork']." The presaging sentence which says "...to receive a mark on the right hand  or on their foreheads," in truth, discloses the phenomenon of 'entering into the Covenant of the 'name' i.e. international 'monetary' treaty/agreement. It further prognosticated the cryptic descriptions of that 'name.' It was written: 18 This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the 18 number ['handiwork'] of the beast, for it is the number ['handiwork'] of a man. That 'number' ['handiwork'] is 666 (Revelation 13: 16-18, NASB). The people of God had also received 'the mark.' In Scripture, 'free' man means born-again man. Thus, all people on Earth either the 'wheat' or the 'tares ' had both entered into the 'covenant' of 666. And everybody is involved in the daily chores of life called "buying or selling." The covenant offered the modern form of that prophesied ancient 'brick-making' in every city building (nation building). The ancient 'brick-making' prophesied in the book of Genesis Chapter 11 is equivalent to the modern slavery called "buying or selling." Every nation on Earth already entered into the treaty of this modern 'brick-making' i.e. referring to monetary. It is the tug of war between God and 'mamon' in every heart of men on Earth. No wonder why Yeshua exhorted every follower of the 'Way' to embrace the words, "seek ye first the kingdom of God," because such 'priority' determines whether we are the true branches or vice-versa.

    Modern 'Mamonism' as one of the worldwide 'names' of mankind on earth had long coiled up the whole earth, as if replacing the handiworks of the divine 'names.' The Adversary, Lucifer, was, in truth, a dethroned ruler. However, he seemed remaining enthroning upon mankind because he was subtly able to manipulate the hearts of men into the deceitfulness of wealth.  Modern mamonism had successfully replaced God's 'names' as the ultimate Sources of life. This is, indeed, the 'last-hour' slavery on Earth. We do not resist that 'slavery' because it is the basic 'brick-making' in every 'nation building.'  It was prophesied that those who had shrewdness in that human 'name' ('mission' or 'handiwork') were demanded to do shrewd 'calculation.' That human 'name' is the worldwide 'mission' of mankind on earth. Modern mamonism demands shrewdness in monetary calculation. However, as the followers of the 'Way,' we 'discern' the emergence of this modern mamonism as the 'sign' of times, so that we may know the 'ticking clock' in which hour we are living. It points to the fulfilment of the 'wonders' which were prophesied by the Prophets. We have seen the re-emergence of this ancient "tower of Babel" in our life times. The ancient prophetic words are reverberating: "4 Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city [nation or kingdom building], with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a 'name' for ourselves; (Genesis 11: 4). The 'mission' ('name') of mankind on earth had reached to the heavens. That mission or 'name' had become one of our important handiworks because we seek it everyday. It steals away and replaces the 'names' of God as the Sources of Life. When human mission enslaves mankind and it ('mission') becomes the utmost priority of life above divine names, then God would revealed it in prophetic words which says: "...that reaches to the heavens."

    The true mark on the forehead is always referring to the Lord's Passover, but all the kingdoms of the nations on earth have agreed to receive "the (false) mark on the forehead" by the "two-horned beast, out of the earth," and the sign of the beast subdues the true sign on the forehead by the Lamb of God. The 'name' of the God given unto Christ, who is the Source of Life throughout the Covenant of Peace is centered upon the covenant of the Passover of the Lamb of God, but the sign on the forehead given by the two-horns beast is 'monetary-covenant' or 'Mamon' that is hidden secretly as the 'name' of the beast: 666.

    I am not against the establishments or  the "names" of every 'nation-building' on earth, because Yeshua did not teach his followers to become anti-government.  'Nation-building' was equivalent to the ancient words "city-building" in Genesis 11. We stick to his teachings of submission unto the governments on earth. His words say: "Then he said to them, “So give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.” (Matthew 22: 21).  God demands us to embrace and to fulfill "Our Father" (Matthew 6: 9-13) as separate 'names' ('handiwork') from the 'names' ('handiworks') of the rulers on earth.  Each one of us acquires earthly "peace and security" by becoming a good citizen in a particular country: a country which is legally accepted by the United Nations. And yet, we 'see' the 'sign' of times which had appeared since 1945 CE; the 'sign' is the prophetic phrasal words "Peace and Security." It is the continuos reason and the main principle of every nation-building on Earth in this 'last-hour' of the 'age of Peace.' St. Paul had prophesied that 'sign' a long time ago in his epistle to the Christians in Thessalonia (1 Thessalonians 5: 3)!

Examples of qouted-verses which have the word "name/names" (divine 'names')
_______________________

25 Adam had relations with his wife again; and she gave birth to a son, and named him Seth, for, she said, “God has appointed me another offspring in place of Abel, for Cain killed him.”26 To Seth, to him also a son was born; and he called his name Enosh. Then men began to call upon the 'name' of the Lord (Genesis 4: 25-26, NASB).

5 And the Lord descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the 'name' of the Lord. 6 And the Lord passed by before him, and proclaimed, The Lord, The Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth, 7 Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation (Exodus 34: 5-7, NASB).

He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake (Psalm 23: 3, NASB)

For Your name’s sake, O Lord, Pardon my iniquity, for it is great (Psalm 25: 11, NASB).

For You are my rock and my fortress; For Your name’s sake You will lead me and guide me (Psalm 31: 3).

Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of Your name; And deliver us and forgive our sins for Your name’s sake (Psalm 79: 9, NASB).

But You, O God, the Lord, deal kindly with me for Your name’s sake; Because Your loving-kindness is good, deliver me; (Psalm 109: 21, NASB).

6 “I have manifested Your name to the men whom You gave Me out of the world; they were Yours and You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word (John 17: 6, NASB).

 9 I ask on their behalf; I do not ask on behalf of the world, but of those whom You have given Me; for they are Yours; 10 and all things that are Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine; and I have been glorified in them. 11 I am no longer in the world; and yet they themselves are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep them in Your name, the name which You have given Me, that they may be one even as We are. 12 While I was with them, I was keeping them in Your name which You have given Me; and I guarded them and not one of them perished but the son of perdition, so that the Scripture would be fulfilled (John 17: 9-12, NASB).

26 and I have made Your name known to them, and will make it known, so that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them” (John 17: 26, NASB).

And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his 'name' is called 'The Word of God' (Revelation 19: 13, NASB).

8 ‘I know your deeds. Behold, I have put before you an open door which no one can shut, because you have a little power, and have kept My word, and have not denied 'My name' (Revelation 2: 8, NASB).


Note:

    Spirit of Prayer demands a pure heart from the follower of the Way, but how could a believer's spirit be pure when man, in truth, is absolutely resourceless in purifying one's spirit. Yeshua said: " Blessed those pure heart for they will see the face of God" (Matt. 5: 8). The word "Blessed" means the presence of the flow of  the Sevenfold Spirit of God. Christ said "Blessed are the pure in 'heart' (spirit), for they will see God" (Matthew 5: 8). The word "Blessed" means the 'gift' from Heaven: the flows of  the gifts from the Sevenfold Spirit of God. Mankind has no resources to be imbued with such 'Blessedness'. 'Blessedness' can only be received by the wounded offspring of Adam through the operations of the Seven-fold Spirit: the Word of God. David testified that it was the "unfolding of The Word" which shaped up his 'belief' as according to the Word of God enabling him to be in the 'holy pathway' of prayer! The Word of God is the Sevenfold Spirit. The tangible Seven golden Lampstands in the ancient Tabernacle called the Menorah is always pointing to the intangible Sevenfold Spirit of God. Yeshua's name is the Word of God as revealed in Revelation 19: 13, Isaiah 11: 1-3; and Luke 24: 44

    The word of God is flawless, righteous, holy, and powerful. The basic understanding of the Voice of the Word were sang by David in Psalm 29.  Yeshua spoke: "all my words are spirit and life." The Word of God is the Spirit of God. The written words of God are subjected to be unfoldable; the simple minds understand the deeper spiritual meanings if the tongue of fire descends upon the wicks of our spirits.  "The unfolding of Your words gives light (spirit); it gives understanding [the spirit of Understanding] to the simple" (Psalm 119: 130). His voice comes to the 'the unfolding' of the written word of God through dream dreams, visions and Voice (Joel 2: 28).  The ancient Menorah pointed to the Sevenfold Spirit: the Word of God. It was once clothed with the flesh for 33 years due to the "name" given by the Father whom Prophet John the Baptist proclaimed as "the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the World." He is returning manifesting his consuming fire (holy).


How can a young man keep his 'way' pure?; By keeping it according to Your word [Sevenfold Spirit] (Psalm 119: 9, NASB).
6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me" (John 14: 6, NASB).
13 Whatever you ask in My name, that will I do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 if you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it (John 14: 13-14, NASB).

Note:
    Purity of one's spirit is the prerequisite in entering the presence of the Sevenfold Spirit of God: the Spirit of Prayer. The descendants of Adam are resourceless in justifying themselves except through the 'immutable names' of God and through the 'Covenanted names' of God. The Spirit of Understanding reveals unto us that the Immutable names of God are disclosed according to the Lord's names in the prophecies as in Exodus 34: 6-7. The divine attributes are the origins of divine 'names' (handiworks) ! Thus, divine 'names' are accountable and trustworthy! When the Immutable names of God established a covenant with a chosen people like Abram, Jacob, and David, then Covenanted names of God would be given unto the recipients of the Covenant. While Immutable names of God are always available unto any person whom He had predestined to be endowed with the gift of the fear of the Lord or even mercy, the Covenanted names of God are up to the terms of a particular Covenant. However, both Immutable names of God and the Covenanted names of God are absolutely having the same divine attributes. They are the same 'One' Divine Spirit.

5 And the Lord descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the 'name' of the Lord.
6 And the Lord passed by before him, and proclaimed, The Lord, The Lord God, merciful and gracious, long-suffering, and abundant in goodness and truth, 7 Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation (Exodus 34: 5-7, NASB).

So, some of God's "immutable names" revealed through the spirit of Understanding in Exodus 34: 5-7 are as below: 

1) Merciful;
2) Gracious;
3) Long-suffering;
4) Forgiving;
5) Abundant in goodness;
6) True;
7) Flawless;
8) Righteous;
9) Powerful;
10)Consuming fire (Holy~"by no means clear the guilty) and etc. etc.,

    So, the divine attribute such as "forgiving" is one of his Immutable names. Thus, the New Covenanted 'name,' the  Lamb of God, is the exact manifestation of that immutable divine 'name' called "forgiving." Christ is faithful in forgiving as long as "day and night will never cease" just as the attribute of the covenanted 'name,' YHVH as revealed in Exodus 34: 6-7.

The business of entering into His Presence; "...be perfect therefore, as My Father in heaven is perfect" (Mat.5: 48).

    "Therefore, you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect." (Matthew 5: 48)

     Perfect in calling upon the 'name' of the Lord means our tongues, emotions, soul, and spirit are synchronized in praising, and thanksgiving unto the 'name' of God, as if there is the spirit of celebration (joy). So, praising, glorifying and worshiping the 'name' of God are the traits of being perfect in calling upon the 'name' of God. We could learn how to praise God's mercies from David's lyrics in Psalm 103. There is no element of being 'offended' by the 'name' of the Lord. This is the business of entering into the Presence of Perfect (pure) Spirit. The Spirit of Father, the Holy Ghost, and Christ are equally perfect and One. We are not talking about religions or morality. We are going to be perceptually transpired in the presence of the Spirit of Truth : the Holy Spirit. The Spirit says "be holy, for I am Holy." The "gate" of the Spirit is pure, therefore, nothing impure shall penetrate it. Surely, we don't enter that gate all the time as long as our center of consciousness is confined within this mortal flesh; the mind is the center of consciousness of the flesh. It demands spiritual preparations according to the Word. The Way, the Gate and the Key must be fully embraced in one's Spirit, and mind; those three "royal-priesthood-pathways" must be embraced, as if allegorized by the nature of dependency between "a branch and the true Vine." "Life in fullness" would be only fulfilled and possible when ones learn that allegory of dependency!
   
     At the moment you want to enter the Presence of His pure Spirit, our spirits must be perfectly pure; its purity is created by the Word. "...his name is the Word of the Father! " That's the business with His Spirit. Therefore, "be perfect for the Father in heaven is perfect," in verse 48, Chap. 5 (Matthew) is not to be misunderstood as God's literal command, but merely Christ's revelation knowledge concerning the nature of Divine Spirit. Such revelation must not be misunderstood, as if seeing oneself on par with Divine Holiness. It merely discloses the nature of His Presence; thus, the Gate is 'pure.'

 Considering that the prerequisite in entering the presence of His Pure Spirit, "Face," is to be perfect just like the Father in heaven, I presume that  I could barely whisper concerning the echoing voices in deep ravines or "deep calls Deep" or "Spirit calls spirit;" I wonder if I were qualified to witness  that I had had conversed with the Seven-fold-Spirit.  But, we all depended fully upon the mercies of God. The Holy Spirit is the Most Holy God, and therefore, the followers of the Way are exhorted to be holy for He is Holy.  Those whose hearts are pure, therefore, called 'blessed,' and are able to enter into His perfect Holiness of His Presence: the business of entering into His Presence is simply called "seeing His Face." (See links the heart of the spirit of man or sumbu-roh manusia)

     "Blessed those pure hearts (pure also means perfect ), they will see His face." (Matt. 5: 8). How could a wounded man who is, of course, continously adding up his wounds everyday, be ever perfect in the Sight of the Perfect (PURE) Father?  The Psalmist sang that it was the Lord who created a pure heart or pure spirit! Apart from Christ's blood, the wounded men would be resourcesless in purifying their own spirits! "...Who...freeds us from our sins by His blood." (Revelation 1: 5 b).

     The whole Old Covenant days, as according to the Laws demanded blood-shedding rites in order for the Covenant people to be justified in the sight of their Lord;  almost all the businesses of 'entering' into His righteous Presence in the Old Covenant days, demanded the blood-shedding of sin offerings. Without ritual-blood shedding, as offered according to His Divine spoken Word (the Word in Old Covenant days was also referring to the Laws), then there would be no blessing of redemption.

     It is not concerning the perfection of characters or morality, but it refers to the pure spirit, after receiving the cleansing power of the 'blood' of Christ. This spiritual-cleansing power was foreshadowed by the seven-times sprinkled lamb's blood on the atonement cover in the holy of holiest of the ancient Tabernacle, and also foreshadowed by the other rites of atonement written in Torah.  In other words, only those whose spirits who believe in the power of the blood of Christ would be approved to enter into the presence of the Seven-fold Spirit.  The 'Way,' the 'Gate' and the 'Key' are Christ: blood, water and Spirit are One.

     Thus, it answers the question why Jesus said "...apart from Me you can do nothing."  Indeed, apart from the blood of the Lamb of God, we do not have the resources to invoke the blessing redemption. Through his redeeming and salvific power, the we have the access of blessings for  purification and to be perfected in Christ as to enter thet Father's face (His presence)! Our constant consciousness of that dependency is the beginning of being a branch of the true vine.  Our spiritual dependency would turn into joyless journey, if it is merely driven by mental precepts and mental strength.  Unless it is imbued by the gift of the "joy in the fear of the Lord," then ones' journeys of faith would be deprived of divine strength and divine peace; the fruit of righteousness is peace. If there is no 'true or pure' dependency upon the true Vine,  then there would be no perfect righteousness. The gift of the fear of the Lord is pure because it is the operation of the Seven-fold Spirit. The dependency must be driven by that pure fear of the Lord, so that the followers of the Way would truly know the business of becoming the true branches. 

     Honestly, I might not even qualified to have had more than 0.012 % in "His presence" throughout my life from the point of sailing ever-since the Word had been unfolded within my "deep." Which, in truth, we do not have the worthiness for it!  Only the Lamb is worthy as the perfect witness of the Father! But, if that less than 0.012 % was truly compact "pure-seed," and it would have sprung forth to be my conviction of Who he is. The rest of that 99.988 % is likened a ship being tossed in a stormy waters: the unrefined mental precepts or simply the flesh!.., or else I may resonate Job's confession "I merely heard about You from others,"  i.e the spoken words from those who professed to be the followers of the "Way."

   No wonder why Mary's portion of  "Deep calls deep," the sister of the busier Magdalena, was never be taken from her, and it had become the spiritual inspiration for millions of wounded spirits that yearn to see the realities of Divine Presence in their spirits. May the Seven-fold Spirit especially the operations of the gift of the fear of the Lord, and the operation of the gift of the spirit of understanding be endowed unto me, so that I may know Him. How could be our spirits be "perfect" in His perfect Holy Presence, unless the blood of Christ purifies us from our sins?
   
     "and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness...To Him who loves us and released us from our sins by His blood " (Revelation 1: 5).

     So, we are accepted by the perfect Holiness of the Father not due to our faithfulness, but simply by Christ's faithfulness. "Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burden, the God who is our salvation." (Psalm 68, 19). Through His faithfulness and loving-kindness, he endows us victory! "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." (1 John 1: 8).   Thus, we abide by the Way through confessions; we enter through the gate with thanksgiving & praises, and we enter into the "chamber" anticipating His blessings: the Word. Thus, the Way, the Gate and the Key are Christ: blood, blood, blood.

The Beast out of the Sea and the Beast out of the earth (Revelation 13)


By Jonas Mannaseh Simin.
___________________________________

    The fatally wounded head of one of the sevens-head Beast out of the Sea is the United Kingdom, and the Beast out of the earth refers to the United States of America.  The book of Revelation was given so that we may know "the things that must soon take place (Rev. 22: 6) [1];" knowing the future disperses fears and strengthens our faith. When we believe in His Word, then we will be blessed. 

"6 The angel said to me, 'These words are trustworthy and true. The Lord, the God who inspires the prophets, sent his angel to show his servants the things that must soon take place.' 7 “Look, I am coming soon! Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy written in this scroll.” (Revelation  22: 6-7).  [ 2 ]

    Reading the signs of the age is by seeing historical facts through the Light of the Word/Prophecies.  When we force the prophecies to agree with our intellectual observations/historical facts, then that is the opposite of reading the signs of times.  Seeing through the Word, the truth unfolds what you see through the eyes of your spirit. That 'seeing' is the gift of the Spirit.  This writing is my limited personal and fallible 'seeing in parts' concerning the signs of the 'Spirit's times.'

    We have already entered into the age, where the beasts (rulers) and the churches themselves on earth are damaging the "wine and the oil." In the fourth Seal and the fifth Seal, the "oil and the wine" remain undamaged although the running respective horses brought forth deaths, famines, diseases, scarcities and sufferings. But, when the shadows of the Scarlet Beast, the beast out of the Sea, and the beast out of the earth begin to be manifested, then the "woman" and the "offspring" would experience the distress because those three beasts are damaging the "oil and wine."   "The oil and the wine" both represent the operation of Divine Spirit under the revealed "name" called "Sower," the Son of Man. 

    We are already in the transition period i.e. The Sixth Seal. This period spans for 7 years which had began in 2011 AD (This date is personal prediction; Christ whose new name "Seven spirits,seven eyes, seven horns" would descend on earth by May, 2018 on the last day feast of harvest...ha...ha). The Spirits of Judgment operates in "sevenfold for your sins" (Leviticus 26: 18, 21, 24 & 28) [ 3 ].  The Judgment on God's people; the Northern ten tribes,  Judah or even the gentiles like Nebuchadnezzar were executed by God's Spirit in "sevenfold" period in lunar years:  420, 70, and 7 lunar years.  Thus, "a time" means 7 biblical lunar years or 7 times 360 days.

    "15 And from his mouth the Serpent spewed water like a river, to overtake the woman and sweep her away with the torrent. 16 But the earth helped the woman by opening its mouth and swallowing the river that the dragon had spewed out of his mouth." (Revelation 12: 5,6)  [ 4 ]. The ancient prophesied "River" in Isaiah 8: 7 was referring to the Emperor Sennacherib of the Assyrian Empire. The prophesied "Like a river" refers to the same geopolitical powers, but its rulership is surely not a monarchy system because the revealed phrase "like a river" only points to the same territory (Assyrian--Syria/Iran/Iraq regions) with different types of geopolitical powers. Its manifested existence is merely another facet of "hatred" between "the house of Ishmael" and "the house of Jacob" aka the prophesied "woman."

    The prophecy in Rev.12: 14-16 reveals that the "earth" (the US together with her Arabic allies) would swallow that aspiring "like a river" [5]. So, we know from prophecy that this "like a river" is merely the precursor of WW3, and the preceding chaotic political conflicts which lead to the emergence of new global powers especially the coming of the powerful beast called "the Beast out of the Sea, "which is the coalition of ten surviving lineages of monarchies in Europe as seen by St. John the Apocalypse in the spirit, and the emergence of the "beast out of the earth." In St. John's times, the future name of each European country was only known by the existence of  kingdoms within the Roman Empire. And therefore, the Spirit referred them as the seven heads of the beast with ten crowned horns in relation to that known ten lineages of kings. 

    The Spirit used those ten 'lineages' of kingships as the 'key' in enabling the future believers to see the identity of the "beast out of the Sea," and yet it is hidden unto those who do not eat the Word.   It wouldn't edify us in identifying the 'age,' if the Spirit had had used different way in revealing the identities of the "ten crowns."  Thus, seven heads of the beast  were referring to the former seven kingdoms of European monarchies.  But, why there were ten kings for only seven kingdoms? What happen to the three lineages of monarchies?  

    The ten crowns supposed to have ten monarchical kingdoms? History tells us that the three crowns had agreed to form "one" United Kingdom i.e. the United Kingdom of Great Britain & her remaining colonies; the former three lineages of crowns namely Ireland, Wales and Scotland had united to become "One" Crown of the United Kingdom of Great Britain.  Three crowns had become one crown referred to the emergence of the United Kingdom.  Prophet Daniel prophesied about it approximately 2,478 years since he saw its visions in Daniel 7: 8, 20-25 to the last stage of unification in 1922 CE:-

"8 While I was thinking about the horns, there before me was another horn, a little one, which came up among them; and three of the first horns were uprooted before it. This horn had eyes like the eyes of a human being and a mouth that spoke boastfully. 20 I also wanted to know about the ten horns on its head and about the other horn that came up, before which three of them fell—the horn that looked more imposing than the others and that had eyes and a mouth that spoke boastfully. 21 As I watched, this horn was waging war against the holy people and defeating them, 22 until the Ancient of Days came and pronounced judgment in favor of the holy people of the Most High, and the time came when they possessed the kingdom.  23 “He gave me this explanation: ‘The fourth beast is a fourth kingdom that will appear on earth. It will be different from all the other kingdoms and will devour the whole earth, trampling it down and crushing it. 24 The ten horns are ten kings who will come from this kingdom. After them another king will arise, different from the earlier ones; he will subdue three kings. 25 He will speak against the Most High and oppress his holy people and try to change the set times and the laws. The holy people will be delivered into his hands for a time, times and half a time.[b]  26 “‘But the court will sit, and his power will be taken away and completely destroyed forever. 27 Then the sovereignty, power and greatness of all the kingdoms under heaven will be handed over to the holy people of the Most High. His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom, and all rulers will worship and obey him.’  28 “This is the end of the matter. I, Daniel, was deeply troubled by my thoughts, and my face turned pale, but I kept the matter to myself.”  [  6  ]
                                                            

Revelation 13: 3-6 "...the beast was given "a mouth" to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise his authority for forty two months..."  (The beast had become the 'false prophet' on behalf of the Dragon. "Given a mouth" means to be  the doer of the Dragon's wills, and propagator of the "anti-Word" teachings: doctrines, philosophies, relativism and etc. Etc..,).

    The excerpts of the accounts of the unification of those three crowns into One Crown as documented by Wikipedia fulfilled the "foreshadowing" identification of the fatally wounded beast prophesied  in Revelation 13 and Daniel 7: 8, 20-28:-

"The Acts of Union 1707 merged the kingdoms of England and Scotland into the Kingdom of Great Britain, under the sovereignty of the British Crown. The effect was to create a personal union between the Crown of Ireland and the British Crown, instead of the English Crown. Later, on 1 January 1801, an additional merger took place between the two Kingdoms. By the terms of the Act of Union 1800, the Kingdom of Ireland merged with the Kingdom of Great Britain, thus creating the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. Following the separation of most of Ireland from that kingdom in 1922, the remaining constituent parts were renamed the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in 1927, five years after the establishment of the Irish Free State."   [ 7 ]

"In 1800, the Parliament of Ireland approved the political union of the monarchy of Ireland with the monarchy of Great Britain and incidentally voted itself out of existence. The united entity thereby created was known as the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. With this union, the independent existence of the crown of Ireland was ended. From January 1801 until December 1922, Ireland remained in this political union."   [ 8 ]

     Personally, I love United Kingdom. She was the former colonial master of Borneo.   I mean, I don't hate them (Britons).  And I see the "wheat" and the "tares" in her just as in other countries of the world.  I am not seeding hatred towards a particular country.  But, we are talking about the endtimes or the coming "harvesting" of what had been sowed by the "Sower" as prophesied by Jesus Christ in Matthew 13.  The end of the 'age' (i.e. the Church's age) is coming, then those three kingdoms which had become "One" would eventually be ruled by the "tares;" she wouldn't be under the power of the "wheat" in a very near future.   When the "tares" oust the rulership of the "wheat" of that fatally wounded United Kingdom, then she (together with the six former kingdoms in Europe) would fulfill what was written in Revelation 13: 3-6 "...the beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise his authority for forty two months..." [ 9 ]. (7 x 1/2 = 3.5 lunar years or during "half a time," predicted to take place in 2066 CE  to 2070 CE -This personal prediction dated March 2014).

     She (the UK as the fatally wounded head of the seven heads) was fatally wounded because she lost most of her colonies, mandates and protectorates during the WW2 and onwards, and yet she was healed. Though several of her colonial territories had gained independence, and yet the world was astonished since she had been healed (resurrected) from the "fatal wound." "Healed" means she regained her status as world ruler; she was the main original signatory of UN and also the vetoed-power-member within the five-permanent Security Council. As one of the NATO members, she is also considered to be capable of military conquest on earth.  She still has all the criteria to be the elites of world rulers: military might, political power, and economic power. 
"Throughout its history, the British Army has seen action in a number of major wars involving the world's great powers, including the Seven Years' War, the Napoleonic Wars, the Crimean War, the First World War and Second World War. Repeatedly emerging victorious from these decisive wars allowed Britain to influence world events with its policies and establish itself as one of the world's leading military and economic powers" [ 10 ]

    The prophesied "earth" (the US) that swallowed the prophesied endtimes' "like a river" ("like a river" manifested as the geopolitical regions controlled by the present aspiring Islamic Caliphate-ISIS), was the shadow of the prophesied "beast out of the earth" (the USA).  The "earth" where the two-horned-beast (USA) came from, would be the hegemonic control of all economic facets; she enforces the laws of "buying and selling."  It seems that USA and her future powerful "tares" leaders would continue to be the leading decision makers of the "mission/name" of men on earth.  She had given breath to the fatally wounded beast (the UK) because the USA had been closed rapprochement to her in reclaiming her former colonial territories which once fell to the hands of the triple-axis. Since the victory of the Allied forces in 1945, the United Kingdom with her remnant colonies had been "resurrected," as if the godly "statue" was given breath, and enabled to be worshipped again, because she was able to "speak" again as global ruler concerning politics, economics ,and military.  The victories of the Allied forces led by US had enabled the "statue" (or 'gods'-global-ruler status) of the fatally wounded beast" to regain her global dominions.   The USA had fulfilled the prophesied story of her rise as superpower, and she even helped the UK to be revived from "fatal wound." It was revealed how the political rapprochement between US and UK had led them to be elites of world dominions. 

    "...14 and by the signs that it is allowed to perform on behalf of the beast, it deceives the inhabitants of earth, telling them to make an image for the beast that had been wounded by the sword[e] and yet lived; 15 and it was allowed to give breath[f] to the image of the beast so that the image of the beast could even speak and cause those who would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. 16 Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead... 17 so that no one can buy or sell who does not have the mark, that is, the 'name' of the beast or the number of its name."  (Rev. 13: 14-17) [ 11] . 

     Nobody is able to do business unless you enter the agreement or covenant."  The nations of the world must comply with the "mission/name" of the beast. This points to the hegemony of the USA currency that  controls international transactions of "buying and selling."   In prophecy, "Name" means "Mission."  The "name" or "mission" of all the "tares" who rule USA, in the future, is simply continually enslaving mankind with 666 (see link 666). Solomon annually received 666 talents of gold.  Gold is money. So, the 'mission' or '666' (see link 666) means the agendas of the future "tares" and the worldwide taxation through her hegemonic control of money on earth. Modern secular-paradigm-inhabitants of the earth would fully embrace the mission of the ruler encrypted as 666, and eventually the core of Christian teaching, "the Lord Pass Over as the Source of life," would become the enemy to their relativism. The "tares" would hate the idea of Pass Over (the Cross of Jesus) as the Source of Life; believing in the Lord Pass Over would be considered outdated and "lost-it-relevancy."
   
     Therefore, the "wheat" who believe in the Cross would be in great conflicts with the "tares." We have no way to escape from it ("666"see link 666) because everybody is subjected to money; the Lord's Pass Over would become the object of mockery.  Nobody is able to "buy and sell," unless he obeys the worldwide enforced Laws of money (Revelation 13: 16-17).  The whole world had been coiled up by the newly-modern tower of Babel which began at Bretton Wood Agreement; the ultimate mission or "name" of the beasts (governments) on earth. All the allied-caballike signatories (members) of that Agreement, later fully consented the abandonment of the 27 years of fixed exchange system based on the US gold-backed currency through the Smithsonian Agreement and Jamaica Treaty.

    The prophesied top-Antichrist-leader is ready to manifest himself as the "mouth" of the Dragon because the tower of Babel had been erected as the platform for him to rule the world.  We are not against the system created by the "beast out of the earth" together with the fatally wounded head out of the Sea; we simply see the signs of times.  That's how we 'read' the Revelations. It was foretold long time ago, and it was written in allegories and metaphors. The woman and her offspring were counseled to "hold what was given to them" in wading through the distress; it was foretold from ancient times that the woman and the offspring were endowed with the "treasure" of Sion (Isaiah 33: 6). Only those who know how to hold that 'treasure' would receive the sealing of the angels.  We are heading for it!  

    I love you Americans.  Your citizens are great "wheat," and your governments are super "tares" as well.  You are all fantastic!  God had had flowed His wills through you (wheat) either you admit it or not, unconsciously or consciously,... May the Lord give strength to the "wheat" of America, and may the Lord bless the "wheat" of America.  Beware of the super "tares" of America, for they would continue to be the leaders of "buying and selling," 666 (see link 666), for the appointed time.  May the "wheat" of you be protected from the "tares." And yet, Christ would overcome them (the "tares") all.

"I make known the 'end' from the 'beginning,'
    from 'ancient times,' what is still to come.
I say, ‘My purpose will stand,
    and I will do all that I please." (Isaiah 46: 10). [ 12]

    In prophecy, "woman"  in Genesis 3: 15 presaged the chosen people of God and her offspring are those who believe in 'the God of the woman.' "I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will strike your head, and you will strike his heel.” (Genesis 3: 15)[13]. "The Serpent's" offspring presaged the "tares" or "sons of the Devil" revealed in Matthew 13 and Revelation 12;13; 17.   The enmity between "the people of God" and the "followers of the Serpent" was made known from the beginning and from ancient times the things not yet done (Isaiah 46: 10). There are only two main prophesied women in Scripture. The Old Testament worshippers who are the secular Israel personificated as the woman who rides the Scarlet beast since she emerged from the political decision makings of the rulers (beasts) on earth.  The ancient "woman" of Yahweh was betrothed to YHVH through Lord Pass Over in Egypt, later she abandoned the blood covenant which caused the Holy Land to vomit them out in Diaspora;  the New Testament "woman," the spiritual Christian Hebrews, who evangelized the gentile nations and thus, giving birth to her "offspring." These children are the spirits (new covenant temples) of all believers regardless of their affiliations,denomination or rites.  We don't relate the New Testament "woman" to any city or country, though there are  many secular countries, and Christian countries having the majority percentage of the followers of the Way.  We don't interpret that a particular country is betrothed to Jesus Christ.  Christ betrothed to every spirit of the followers of the "Way."  But the prophetic symbol of the  house of Jacob remained the same in both Covenants i.e. the "woman" with twelve stars, sun and moon.  Gentile Christians cannot be the "woman" but the "offspring." (Revelation 12: 17).

    Thus, both the New Testament woman and the offspring worship the Triune God or holding the testimony of Jesus Christ.  However, in prophecy, "woman" refers solely to the Hebraic Christians, whereas the "offspring" refers to all gentile Christians. The "offspring" (gentile christians) established 23 Catholic rites, numerous protestant denominations and independent affiliations. Although the gentile Christians are entitled to be the Bride of Christ, and yet such betrothal does not mean that they belong to the prophetic Symbol of the house of Jacob.  The symbol "woman with twelve stars, Sun and moon " specifically and prophetically belong to the Hebrews either the Old Covenant or New Covenant Hebraic people. (see Genesis 37: 9 and Revelation 12).  However both Hebraic Christians and  gentile christians were adjudged according to the seven paintings of faith revealed and resonated  by the seven churches in Asia Minor (Revelation  2 & 3).
.
"17 Then the dragon was angry with the woman, and went off to make war on the rest of her children (offspring), those who keep the commandments of God and hold the testimony of Jesus"  (Revelation 12: 17)  [ 14 ].
"4 But you, beloved,  are not in darkness, for that day to surprise you like a thief; 5 for you are all children of light and children of the day; we are not of the night or of darkness. 6 So then let us not fall asleep as others do, but let us keep awake and be sober; 7 for those who sleep sleep at night, and those who are drunk get drunk at night. (1Thes. 5: 4-7)"  [ 15 ] .

Knowing 'the Day' or 'hour' of the Second Coming of the Judge


29 “Immediately after the distress of those days


30 “Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth will mourn when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory. 31 And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.
32 “Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. 33 Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door.34 Truly I tell you, this 'generation' ...

(Notes: The words 'this generation' refer to those who embraced the Old Testament's religion which was once centred on the Tabernacle worship in Jerusalem)

...will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. 35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away ( Matthew 24: 27-35, NIV)

The Day or Hour is known by the Father

36 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 37 As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark;

(Notes:  The ''day" and the "hour" are simply referring to the unique day of the Lord which was called "without daytime, without nighttime" and also "when evening comes" respectively in Zechariah 14: 5-7. )

    When we see the phrases "eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage" in verse 38 of the above passage through intellectual interpretation, then they may not elucidate any significant meaning at all. Those 'phrases' seem very plain and they reveal less information concerning the Second Coming of Christ. In fact, we might even say that there is nothing wrong or sinful about those phrases because those daily chores of life are normal for us as human beings! What is wrong with 'eating' after all? So, does with marriage? But, when we 'see' those phrases through the 'eyes' of the Spirit of Prophecy, then those phrases would reveal deeper truth about the priorities and goals of the end time inhabitants of the earth. Yeshua had once said: "Seek ye first the Kingdom of God..." In truth, end-times peoples on Earth seek the opposite things (agendas): yes, we seek to glorify 'the tree of knowledge' ! 

     The phrases "eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, and buying or selling" are, in truth, prophetic phrases identifying the priorities of 'deeds' among the inhabitants of the earth. It means that the peoples on earth do not need the 'name' of God! They are not interested in the things of God! They are engrossed in "let us make a 'name' for ourselves." They do not need to believe in the handiworks ('names') of the Creator, the Father of all spirits.  Even those professed followers of Christ do not embrace the prophesied prayer "Our Father" as their 'deeds' or the way of life. "Our Father" was given unto believers as the spiritual way of life. The way of life of the ancient Israelites who lived in the Holy Land in those Old Covenant days was according to the Torah (Laws), while the way of life of all born again Christians in the New Testament's era is according to the spiritual messages of the prayer taught by Yeshua Christ: "Our Father." 'The Helper' exhorts all believers to be sober, less they end up like the Sardis believers. The unfinished 'deeds' are actually referring to our practice and wisdom concerning the contents of the prayer: Our Father. St. John wrote the exhortation: 2 Wake up! Strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have found your 'deeds' unfinished in the sight of my God. 3 Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard; hold it fast, and repent. But if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what time I will come to you. 4 Yet you have a few people in Sardis who have not soiled their clothes. They will walk with me, dressed in white, for they are worthy. 5 The one who is victorious will, like them, be dressed in white. I will never blot out the name of that person from the book of life, but will acknowledge that name before my Father and his angels. 6 Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches (Revelation 3: 3-6, NIV).

         'Waking up' is the gift of the Seven fold gifts of the Spirit, nonetheless, it must be requested from the Father in Christ's name! We may experience that our sins are somehow like what King David had experienced. They (sins) might be flowing like a river, it is non-stop, and therefore, it is very difficult to set such spiritual goal like "to be dressed in white.' We could end up worn out as we strive to be "dressed in white." The 'flesh' would opine that such spiritual goal is impractical. How come a man with impure spirit be "dressed in white" ? Yeshua's words answered our question: "...apart from Me, you can do nothing." 'Purity' of one's spirit is, in truth, the gift of God! It is listed as one of the beatitudes in the book of Matthew Chapter 5. "Purity" does not come from human striving. It is given by the working power of the 'divine resources" through the flow of the Sevenfold Spirit. It is not of human origin. Human beings are resourceless in the business of purifying ones spirits! It is the gift from the goodness of God. The spirit of man is cleansed by the Word, then if he enters into the presence of the Spirit of God, his spirit would be anointed or his 'wick' will be aflamed by the sacred fire of the Holy Spirit. Christ said "Blessed are the pure in 'heart' (spirit), for they will see God" (Matthew 5: 8). 

    The word "Blessed" means the 'gift' from Heaven: the flows of the gifts from the Seven fold Spirit of God. Mankind has no resources to be imbued with such 'Blessedness'. 'Blessedness' can only be received by the wounded offspring through the operations of the Seven-fold Spirit: the Word of God. Yeshua's prayer in John 17 clearly manifesting his divinity. He said,"Sanctify them in the truth; your Word is truth" (John 17: 17). The words written in the Holy Bible remain to be the 'printed words,' unless the Seven-fold Spirit comes in unfolding the spiritual meanings. "The unfolding of your words gives light; it imparts understanding to the simple" (Psalm 119: 130). The "unfolding of God's Word" could be better understood as seen in the adventurous movies where the explorer/anthropologist was previously unable to see a wider visible view inside a dark cave, but later the explorer discovered a main mirror below the vertical opening of the cave, and then the entering sun rays through that opening could be further harnessed through angular adjustment of that main mirror, so that the extra network of several other mirrors were able to light up a greater visible parts inside of that dark cave. Our intellectual understanding about the "inked Word" on the papers of the Holy Bible would turn into a 'deeper' spiritual understanding, when the Seven-fold Spirit 'lights up' the wick of our spirits; 'lighted up' is possible through "Deep calls deep" or through dream dreams, visions, and Voice. His presence imparts deeper understanding when our former spiritual precepts be lighted up by what we see and hear in the Spirit's realms. "It is the spirit that gives life; the flesh is useless. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life" (John 6: 63).

    To be 'in the presence of the Holy Spirit' or "seeing His face" would endow anointing power upon the recipients, and the Light will illuminate the whole body of the human spirit as long as one's spirit remains in His presence. The purifying power of the Word would only come when the Seven-fold Spirit touches the wicks of our spirits. "Sanctify them in the truth; your Word is truth" (John 17: 17). "It is the spirit that gives life; the flesh is useless. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life" (John 6: 63).  When the Sevenfold Spirit ceases in endowing His presence, the 'true branches' would return into ordinary human spirits. Therefore, the believers are only considered 'holy' when the Sanctifying Spirit ('the Word') descends on the 'wicks' of their spirits.

    Divine attributes are both true in all of his Covenanted names and his divine Immutable names. In the Personae of Yeshua and YHVH, we might receive the blessings from the flows of divine attributes guaranteed by the Covenanted names of God. Covenanted names of God are responsible in fulfilling the prophetic phrases "seedtime and harvest" in Genesis 8: 22. God made covenants between God's names and his chosen people, so that the prophetic phrases "seedtime and harvest" in  Genesis 8: 22 could be fulfilled! Yeshua, the Son of Man, established the New Covenant, so that Christ as the Sower would then empower the Churches to be the harvesters! Even then, the 'name' Judge would be still involved in 'sowing,' but he (the Judge) is not sowing the Word for Peace Covenant; he (Judge) is sowing the Word for Judgment/wraths and the reapers are his innumerable mighty angels. In Exodus 34: 6, the spirit of understanding teaches us about the Immutable names of God! Those 'names' flow from the divine Immutable attributes. The 'gates' of those Immutable names of God are always flowing unto those whose names were written in the book of Life. Those immutable names could be the blessings unto any recipient of the gift, "the fear of the Lord," either the recipient is inside a covenant or outside a covenant as according to divine predestination. The Prayer (Our Father) cannot be fulfilled through carnal precepts or ordinary intellectual strength. That prayer could only be fulfilled through the operations of the gifts of the Spirit as prophesied by Yeshua in Matthew 5 called the "Beatitudes."  While "to be dressed in white" seems to be an impossible spiritual dream as according to our human comprehension, but "dressed in white" as observed through the gift of Wisdom and through the gift of Understanding is up to be practical. Our God is not a monstrous Divine who demands something from the weak 'wounded'  men, without giving heavenly resources unto them, so that they might be able to fulfill His Word.

    The prayer, "Our Father" is given not to be merely recited, but to be embraced, as if 'the inhaling and the exhaling' of one's spiritual breath; it must be fulfilled encompassing all the prophesied contents of the prayer "Our Father" until they become, as if as our daily spiritual 'deeds' on Earth. While our daily activities of life are mortal (such as the phrase 'eating and drinking'), but the way of life based on "Our Father" is up to eternal deeds. So, everytime we forgive someone who does wrongdoings against us, then we are, in truth, doing something which is 'eternal deed' in the sight of the Father. Fulfilling the Word of God is the 'eternal deed' of any born again believer. "Our Father" should not be recited, as if it was 'a magic spell,' but must become the way of life of every believer. The divine magic of that prayer would only be manifested either in our tangible plane of existence or even in those spiritual realities, as we truly embrace "Our Father" as the way of life.)

39 and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 40 Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. 41 Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left. 42 “Therefore 'keep watch'

(Notes: The phrase 'keep watch' means to be continuously in  the Spirit of Prayer'); only through 'watchfulness' that we may receive Dream dreams, Visions and Voice concerning the Word of God and also the secret about the day of the Lord.  The day of the Lord is only known by 'the true branches of the True Vine'; those who are the true recipients of the Sevenfold gifts of Spirit [Isaiah. 11]).

43 But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. 44 So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him. (Matthew 24: 27-44).

1 Thessalonians 5
New International Version (NIV)

The Day of the Lord

5 Now, brothers and sisters, about times and dates we do not need to write to you, 2 for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. 3 While people (Notes: 'people' refers to the inhabitants of the earth) are saying, “Peace and safety,” destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape. 4 But you, brothers and sisters, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief.

(Notes: St.Paul says that the day of the Lord will not surprise the children of Light and therefore, the coming Judge will not become like a thief in  the night).

5 You are all children of the light and children of the day 

(Notes: the children of light were endowed with the Sevenfold gifts of the Spirit. Originally, all languages were created by the angels at the ancient tower of Babel. Eventually, they evolved into modern and modified languages as it is todays. However, all of them still use the main existing alphabets. Though the Word of God is Spirit, it is spiritually understood that divine language does have the spiritual alphabets: the heavens and Earth with all the 'elements' in heavens and Earth. In Genesis Chapter 1: 1, it was prophesied that in the beginning the Word created the divine alphabets: "heavens and earths." "Then, the earth is empty..." It was 'empty' though in the preceding sentence it says "...God created the heavens and earth." Why it was empty even after God had already created "heavens and earth." ? The literal earth was still empty and dark because the preceding prophecy tells us that God had had only created the alphabets of the Word of God (Wisdom)! The spiritual visions or even dream dreams could only be understood after we have mastered the alphabets of the Divine Spirit! The divine alphabets are represented by the luminaries phenomenon in heavens and also by the other natural phenomenons in the heavens/skies. The creation of "heaven and Earth" in Genesis 1:1 was referring to the Creation of the divine alphabets. The phrase "Heaven and Earth" as in that verse is referring to what we see in the Spirit of Prophecy.

 Later, we would see through the writings of the Prophets that all revealed Covenanted divine names would have no contradictions in their messages because they are sharing the exact divine alphabets according to the Order of Melchizedec.  Thus, those whom God endowed with the gift of the fear of the Lord would surely be taught by the God's Spirit in knowing the divine alphabets --"heavens and Earth." (See Psalm 50: 4-6; Psalm 19: 1-2). Knowing the Holy One is knowing the flows of the Spirit (the Word of God); knowing the proclamations of the 'skies'; knowing the proclamations of the earth; knowing the signs of times; and thus knowing dream dreams, visions, and Voice. Knowing all Immutable names of God and the Covenanted names of God are the working power of the Spirit of Understanding. Knowing God is, therefore, the gift of eternal life.


    For the testimony of Christ is the Spirit of Prophecy. In truth, the words 'heaven' and 'earth' are flowing from the 'Word' as the main alphabets of God's  language (the Word of God). No wonder why Genesis Chapter 1 verse 1 began with the flow of Prophecy which expressed:  "... in the beginning God (the Word of God with many 'names') created 'heaven' and 'earth,' and yet the latter part of verse 1 said "...the earth is empty and dark." Those who read the Scripture with their intellectual capacities may not be interested in knowing the flows of the Spirit of God; or else they could easily overlook that strange-hidden mysteries, and therefore they may miss the deeper truth of Genesis 1: 1 "Heavens and earth" are consistently flowing in the Spirit realms as the proclaimers of the 'names' of  God as seen in Zechariah 14: 5-7; Matt. 24:29; Rev. 6: 12-14 and etc..etc. Therefore, the divine alphabets were the concealed mystery which explains why the earth (the 'literal physical earth') was still "...empty and dark...," even though in the preceding prophecy in verse one it had been mentioned that "heaven and Earth" were already created. When we rephrase Genesis 1: 1 with the knowledge of alphabets then it would sound: "... In the beginning, the Word (God with many 'names') created the alphabets, " heaven and earth," then the earth (the literal earth) was still empty and dark...'


 Every God's name ('handiwork') is always proclaimed by the divine main alphabets: "heaven and earth." It was seen between God and Abraham; Yahweh and Moses and the prophets and also in the birth of Christ and on the day The Judge descends on earth! "The sun is darkened, the moon does not shine and the stars are falling down" in Matthew 24: 29, for example, are  the details of the 'alphabets the luminaries of Heaven) from the Divine spirit' which proclaim divine "name." The 'heaven and earth' proclaim the coming "name" of the Lord Christ: "the Judge." Once we used to 'reading' those details of the 'divine alphabets,' then it would be easier for us to understand the prophecies of the Prophets in the Holy Bible. Our understanding about divine 'alphabets' would deepen our understanding about the ways of God, and it would  also refine our personal interpretations. The Spirit of God does not   flow without those  alphabets: "heavens 'and earth." The alphabets of "heaven and earth" are the divine language of all revealed divine 'names.' Such consistency is the nature of the Divine Spirit fulfilling the  Order of Melchizedek.) So, the Word of God (Seven-fold Spirit) would flow into the main alphabets: heaven and Earth. It normally flows into that order especially when God begins a new 'name'.'


We do not belong to the night or to the darkness. 6 So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be awake and sober. 7 For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, get drunk at night.8 But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet. 9 For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. 10 He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him.11 Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing. (1Thess. 5: 5-11, NIV).

22 “As long as the earth endures,
seed-time and harvest,
cold and heat,
summer and winter,
day and night will never cease.” (see the link)

                           (Genesis 8: 20-22, NIV). 


(Notes : The knowledge of spiritual divine alphabets in verse 22, Genesis 8 unfolds God's mysterious handiworks. The first line of that 5-lines-stanza poem is specifically (divine alphabets) revealing divine attribute: the Creator's enduring patience.  The lyrics "seedtime and harvest, and 'day and night will never cease" are spiritually subjected to the earth's endurance. Briefly, the lyrics "as long as the earth endures" represents God's enduring patience! When the earth would no longer conceal the bloodsheds on earth as presaged in Isaiah 26: 20-21, it was prognosticating that 'God's Covenant of peace would be ceasing in continuing the opened-'gate' of the Lamb of God. Seedtime and harvest would no longer endowing  power unto the Church.  The reapers (the angels) would replace the Churches' role as harvesters of souls.  All Divine wills originated from the immutable Father's name. 

    The Father's grandeur plan for the 'wounded' mankind was clearly prophesied in Genesis 8: 22. His plan was "sowing and reaping" the soul of men on earth. The lyrics "seedtime and harvest" disclosed the handiwork of Divine salvation for mankind. When the Immutable name of the Father flowed unto the recipients of His name, then a covenant would be established. Thus, the Covenanted Divine name would be revealed.  Both Yahweh and Yeshua Christ are the Covenanted name of God. Both were originated from the Immutable name of God. The proclamation of Divine name in Exodus 34: 5-7 was the Immutable name of God. When the Israelite broke the Covenanted, the covenanted name which was once written on the Tabernacle was taken back by the Immutable name of God. Those prophets who were in exiles were able to 'see His face' because they were given Divine favour and therefore, they were given the gift "the fear of the Lord is Wisdom." Then, later the new name was revealed and proclaimed which meant the new establishment of Covenant. 


     The Immutable name of God remains ''callable" by those who were given by the gift "the fear of the Lord." The name Holy Spirit represents the anointing power given unto those whose names written in the book of Life. So, there are Immutable name of God and also the Covenanted names of God. "Seed-time and harvest" are fulfilled by the Covenanted names of God. The covenanted names of God originated from the Immutable name of God. The Prince of Peace was the Covenanted name of God throughout the Peace age or the Church's age. When the Judge came, then the Covenanted name, Prince of Peace, would cease to endow 'peace' among the nations. Every believer needs to know the Immutable name of God, if ones desire to "enter one's deeper room": the Spirit of prayer. Knowing the two ''Order' of Divine names would enable a believer to see the deeper meanings of every covenant made between Good and his peoples on earth! All the Covenanted name we're disclosed to His chosen as according to Order of Melchizedec. It means the Covenanted name of God teaches the 'secret' of Altar on earth. The altar reveals Divine "name."


    The spiritual alphabets, 'skies,' would proclaim the descending 'name' of God: the Judge who judges in equity. See Psalm 19: 1-2. Thus, we know that the Covenant of Peace would soon cease  in greeting us in peace, "peace be with you." The phrases "day and night will never cease" point to "the Unique day of the Lord" in Zechariah 14: 6-7. The messages (prophecies) of Genesis 8: 22e would end up in  Zechariah 15: 6-7  as seen through our spiritual knowledge in Isaiah 46: 10.  Its 'ending' is preceded by the proclamation of  His 'name' by the alphabets: "heavens/skies" [ see Psalm 19: 1-2]. Zechariah 15: 6-7 revealed the terminus of God's enduring patience as prophesied in the lyrics of Genesis 8: 22).

5 ...Then the Lord my God will come, and all the holy ones with him.
6 On that day there will be neither sunlight nor cold, frosty darkness. 7 It will be a unique day—a day known only to the Lord— with no distinction between day and night. When evening comes, there will be light.
8 On that day living water will flow out from Jerusalem, half of it east to the Dead Sea and half of it west to the Mediterranean Sea, in summer and in winter.
9 The Lord will be king over the whole earth. On that day there will be one Lord, and his name the only name. (Zechariah 14: 5-9)

12 I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red, 13 and the stars in the sky fell to earth, as figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind. 14 The heavens receded like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place (Revelation 6: 12-14, NIV)

6 Then they gathered around him and asked him, “Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?”
7 He said to them: “It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. 8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
9 After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight.
10 They were looking intently up into the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them. 11 “Men of Galilee,” they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven.” (Acts 1: 6-11, NIV).
   
(Notes : The prophetic phrases ". ..in the same way you have seen him go into heaven" explicitly tell us the 'visions' of His Coming.  The given 'vision' of Christ's Second Coming would be seen in the same 'way' he was taken up into heaven." Those who may see 'visions' and 'dream dreams' about the descending-Second-Coming of the Judge (Christ) would understand the meaning of Revelation 6: 14 which says: "The heavens receded like a scroll being rolled up..."  )

The spiritual journey of Catholicism and Protestantism....





     The marriage between YHVH and his Covenant-people, the Israelites, began with the Lord‘s paschal in Egypt. They conquered and possessed the Promised Land, establishing the kingdom of priest and the holy nation (Exodus 19: 5-6). The Laws were made into effect through the angels of YHVH in the holy land, and the matters of interpretations of the Laws prescribed by the Levite high priests. “20 See, I am sending an angel ahead of you to guard you along the way and to bring you into the place which I have prepared (Promised Land). 21 Pay attention to him and listen to what he says. Do not rebel against him; he will not forgive your rebellion. Since my Name (means divine mission) is in him” (Exodus 23: 20-21). “53 you who received the law that was put into effect through angels but have not obeyed it (Acts 7: 53).”

The kingdom of priest and the holy nation in Canaan was the manifestation of theocratic establishment of the twelve tribes of Israelites on earth prescribed by the Covenant. Later, God raised the Judges, so that they may save the Israelites from the raiders. The raiders were from the five-rulers of Philistines of the following remnant Canaanites: the Hittites; Amorites; Perizzites; Hivites, and the Jebusites (Judges 2: 16; 3: 2-5). The Israelites kept on the intermarriages with them and also prostituting themselves to the Canaanites’ gods. The “Kingdom of priest and holy nation”was frequently subjected to the raiders (Exodus 19: 5-6): nonetheless, the theocratic era was considered to have begun right from the Lord‘s paschal in Egypt in the year of Exodus, and by counting in their 40-years wandering in the desert that theocratic era had spanned for approximately 391 years. The Theocratic nation died out when all the elders of Israel rejected the “kingdom of priests”by asking Prophet Samuel to give them a king instead of his corrupt sons (1 Samuel 8:6-7; 1 Samuel 12:12, 19; 1 Samuel 10: 25).


YHVH explained unto Samuel that it was God whom the Israelites had rejected as their sovereign King. So the Theocratic era ended, and the monarchy’s era began with the anointment of Saul as the first monarch of Israel. “Samuel explained to the people the regulations of the kingship. He wrote them down on the scroll and deposited them before the Lord”(1 Samuel 10: 25). The monarchy had survived for approximately 511 years. It began in the first year of King Saul in 1098 BCE till to the last reigning year of king Zedekiah in 587 BCE. [1]  “Monarchy had become the things of the past”when the last kingdom of Judah was carried off into 70-years exile in Babylon.[2]
It seemed that God continued to grant them miraculous protections and blessings throughout the monarchy era, as long as the reigning king recognized God as his ultimate king above his earthly kingship. The establishment of the Monarchy era was, in fact, the manifestation of their rebellion against God, and yet YHVH continuously did many wondrous things due to His oath to King David in upholding the promised Messiah under his lineage. Those who walked in the ways of David would be upheld, and the evil kings were uprooted. As long as the ruling king was responsive and humble before the Lord then they would be upheld, by the miraculous divine interventions; delivering them from their enemies as according to the prophecies of the Prophets of God.


YHVH sent his servants in proclaiming the foundation of the future divine mission of the promised Messiah. The prophecies are the holy foundation upon which He fulfils his mission in redeeming mankind. The prophecies were one of the holy foundations of divine mission on earth, fulfilling the perfect Way of reconciliation. Later, the perfect atonement of mankind guaranteed true deliverance for all nations on earth from the slavery of sins. Jesus Christ, the redeemer of mankind fulfilled YHVH’s promise unto Abraham; that through his seed all people on earth shall be blessed. The promised blessings are the redemption in Christ and also the outpouring of the promised helper, the Holy Spirit. The Mosaic Laws prescribed that the glory of God among his people could not be manifested, unless there were sacrifices of sin offerings; atonement for the priest and the people. Jesus came to fulfill the Laws, so that the people of God may receive the fullness of life (John 10: 10). And through the empowerment of the Holy Spirit, the people of the Way would show forth praises unto God.

The Church was born with the empowerment of the Holy Spirit; the seal of the New Covenant. The beginning of fulfilment came on the day of the Pentecost. The earliest persecuted Church was called the original Apostolic Church. The original apostolic church died out when all the apostles who had seen Jesus Christ alive left their earthen vessels. Later, the people of the Way were able to institutionalize themselves according to their political regions and affiliations, as more rulers embraced the Way, giving births to 23-Catholic rites including the Eastern Orthodox Churches, the Latin Rites (Roman) and the Coptic Church. Protestantism splintered from Catholicism approximately more than 1,000 years later.
According to the New Advent Encylopedia, the reformation in England was choreographed by king Henry VIII, plunging the former Catholic-”defender of faith”-nation into new brand reformed Church of England, and later “the Act of Supreme Head was enacted in 1534 CE,” [3] prescribing the Monarch as “the Supreme Head of the Church”; this enactment defied the Papal supremacy, [4] and thus, legally cutting off any Roman influence on Henry’s accession on the throne. In the same year, Pollen wrote that “the Society of Jesus” pioneered by St. Ignatius Loyola took the vow together with his chosen colleagues in counter-reforming the protesting-movements or the reformation. [5] The Scripture clearly reveals that division of the body of Christ is caused by sins, but some reason out that to take apart is sense, as to sanction the break-ups history of the Church. Thus, the tangible institution of the Church was predestined to be divided. Some Christian scholars argue that since the soul of the Church i.e. The Holy Spirit is only one, and therefore spiritually speaking, the soul of the Church remains as one; they argue that uniformity does not necessarily equivalent to the unity in the Spirit.

In the conviction of  Christ,  Pilate found no proof in passing the verdict; he was stupefied by Jesus’ uncanny remarks concerning his preordained-mission, and the resumption of prosecution led Pilate‘s further unnecessary investigation, enquiring “what is truth?” This enquiry ceaselessly resonates in one’s vacuum of spiritual awakening. In our personal dialogue, the nature of our curiosity seeks the satisfying answer to that question “what is truth?”Truth is the holy foundation of God’s Creation i.e. the Word of God. Jesus had once disclosed unto his disciples that he came to fulfil all Laws, the Prophecies of the Prophets and the Psalms. Though each spiritual “a priori[6] of holy foundation of divine mission is the Word of God, and yet all those three are distinguishable of their purposes.


The Word is the holy foundation of Creation and always be the sovereign efficacious-spiritual-“a priori”of every divine plan. Thus, St. John wrote “in the beginning was the Word.” Jesus testified concerning the tree of life, but the “wounded”descendants of Adam rejected his testimony due to the ingrained tree of knowledge in their souls. An atheist who does not believe in the hand of God the Creator would have to rely on one’s capacity in perceiving his surroundings as according to the tree of knowledge: in modern times, the digest could be mostly derived from scientific reasoning. One of the positive facets of seeing Catholicism vs. Protestantism is discerning it,  as the clear sign of the nearness of his new name. Transcending our souls into the presence of God’s Spirit would shed off the outer tangible perceptions of truth, and thus we see those differences as merely separating the uniformity, and yet mysteriously leading all whose names written in a book of life to be One in the Spirit.
After all, our understanding of the infinite divine Spirit is always insufficient and unrefined. Our consciousness and faith are mentally shaped up by the doctrinal adherences of one‘s religion. Not all people like changes; some choose to be faithfully honouring the traditions. As in the footstep of Moses, the regular practice of striking the sonorous lime stones in order to detect the presence of reservoired-water is much safer than “speaking unto the stone.” Those who preferred the traditional method were protested by those who claim to have heard the voice that commanding them “to speak unto the stone.” These conflicting paradigms and precepts have painted the governance of the Church, and thus they eventually divided the masses into their own respective flocks. The influential authorities split up the establishment of the Church institutions into strife and divisions; the former mainstreams of the divisions were called Catholicism which taught 23 rites, and later Protestantism was born. Since then the divisions keep on splintering the protestant mainstreams into mushrooming brand new churches. History is frequently exploited and misinterpreted. The authorship of history neither discontinues nor becomes absolute. Therefore, Scriptural “truth” is never to be validated by historical records.

Truth is always the Spirit of Truth i.e. Jesus Christ. The holy foundation of the Triune God‘s missions is always the Word.  For Noah, the Word was definable as simply the instructions of building the Ark. The Word of God also included those ceremonial regulations in performing the ancient rites of expiation. The Lyrics from God‘s heart were definable as the Word of God as well; such as the Lyrics in Genesis 8: 21-22. Jesus disclosed all those categories of Word in Luke 24: 44 as “everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalm (Lyrics).” Jesus’ disclosure of his identity could be simply rephrased as “everything about me must be fulfilled according to the spoken Word of the Divine” St. John saw the salvific missions by the Hand of God along with the chosen lineage, and thus he simply wrote “the Word became flesh.”The word manifested in the midst of mankind both as the Son of the Most High and also the Son of Man.

If we fly above into the sky, as if having bird’s-eye-view on those things below; we would see the journeys of his chosen; connected and elucidated with the prophesied destiny of God’s people. It is unwise to reunite all churches under one tangible umbrella because this endeavour would be likened as an upstream-rowing of a boat; such attempt discards the prophecies (Word) revealed by the Lord Jesus Christ, and also by the saints of the Church.

Unnecessary merges of Churches would be against the revelations of God. We must learn from the resonating message of Diaspora; thus, the dispersion must take place before His Second Coming. Jesus foretold that the birth pangs: “10 many will turn away from the faith and many will betray, and hate each another, 11 many false prophets will appear and deceived many people (Matthew 24: 10-11).”So it was clear that the mainstreams churches would go through further divisions, dispersions and apostasy. Dispersion fulfilled the prophesied-birth pangs: the paintings are apostasy, divisions, strife, sectarianism and deceptions. Therefore, any attempt to unify these dispersed churches would only manifest our pointless attempt to reverse the predicted deterioration of the tangible churches; It is simply against Jesus’ prophecies.

It is against the prophecies revealed by God who once dispersed the unified one-language inhabitants of the earth with “72 major languages in the ancient incident of the forbidden tower of Babel.” [7] Wikipedia the Free Encylopedia explained the origin of many languages on earth; “because a count of all the descendants of Noah listed by name in chapter 10 of Genesis provides 15 names for Japheth's descendants, 30 for Ham's, and 27 for Shem's, these figures became established as the 72 languages resulting from the confusion at Babel.” [8] Most of us are able to relate the dispersion of the one-language ancient Babylon to divine Judgment; paradoxically, such dispersion was necessary as to weaken the possibilities of easy diabolic conquest of humanity. Seeing through the same lenses; we should be able to see the break-ups history of the Church as filtered through the fingers of God, so that the subtlest diabolic conquest of the bride could be transcendently and creatively deferred and delayed by the most mysterious creativity of the Divine Spirit.

Complete unity and uniformity was only practical for the once theocratic governance of the ancient Hebrews in the Promised Land. It may not be necessary for the Church to remain in one tangible unity in order to express the spiritual marriage between the Jesus Christ and his followers. Though the witnessing strength of the “Truth” is undeniably marred by the divisions of many affiliations, it would be better to see the splintering as the clear “Sign” of the nearness of the new name of Jesus Christ. God has allowed these paintings for her bride, as manifestations of the shaken pillars on earth, so that God’s Word would be fulfilled. God is not agitated with the divisions of the tangible Church.


He is able to solve any problem with his transcendent creativity. Our God is perfect. Seeing the replay of history like in the days of the Judges’ era which had shifted into the Monarchy Kingdom through the collective force of the elders would be inspiring. History keeps on repeating though it does not appear to be exactly the same…like from the theocratic Kingdom of Priests replaced by the Monarchy Kingdom of Israel, then they were exiled into foreign nations: the Diaspora. It was somehow repeated by the break ups history of the Church; Protestantism splintered from Catholic rites. And then, Protestantism keeps on splintering into numerous unknown traditions and roots. Unless splintered phenomenon was fulfilled, the Second Coming of Jesus Christ on earth wouldn’t be near.

The birth of the Lamb of God had long been preceded by the Diaspora which eventually ushered the unified “one” Old Covenant people into fragmented sectarian flocks: the Zealots, the Pharisees, the Sadducees, the Samaritan Jews, and the Essenes, and several Rabbinical Talmud Lineages. Somehow, the divided Old Covenant people were just the right time for Jesus to manifest himself as the “Word” became “flesh,” bringing forth the establishment of the New Covenant. The dispersed phenomenon has to be continuously painting the tangible body of the Church before the 2nd Return of Christ. The Second Advent would be preceded by the phenomenon of break-ups of the Spiritual Israelites (Churches) ...into numerous tangible Churches...which would be adjudged by the rhyming verses of the fire of Chastisement: a time, times and half a time.

When the Church was born...the former Old Covenant people continued to observe the old way of expiation. In the near future, the present numerous tangible churches might continue their Churchianity even the then returned Christ might have sealed the elect as prophesied in Revelation 7. They may similarly emulate the same mistake done by the widow of Yahweh. The calloused hearts of those Old Covenant believers insisted in observing the ‘way’ as according to Mosaic Laws though Prophet Isaiah had clearly disclosed that God was no longer pleased with animal sacrifices (Isaiah 66: 3-4). Lamb of God had already perfected the foreshadowing Laws on the day of Lord‘s paschal on the Cross: the sacrifices which blasphemed the atoning Cross of Jesus led to “the destruction of the temple which according to Betchel had taken place in 70 AD.” [9] Thus, Jesus’ return on the unique day of the Lord would surely fulfil the prophecies spoken by Prophet Daniel “when the power of the holy people is broken.” “Broken”here points to the absence of divine favour which spans for a time, times, and half a time. It is Judgment’s era—“desert.”






The Revelation concerning Catholicism and Protestantism is...




But the Lord says through Prophet Isaiah, “ 8 Remember this and consider, (a) recall it to mind, you transgressors (increasing apostasy), 9 remember the former things of old; for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is no one like me, 10 declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times things not yet done, saying, “My purpose shall stand, and I will fulfill my intention”(Isaiah 46: 8-10). Divine intentions (Judgment i.e. without daytime and night time) or wills for Catholicism and Protestantism would stand. Human tendency manifests our judgmental attitude towards our brethren in different affiliations. God's purpose would stand ...He would winnow both of them according to the revealed rebukes in the book of revelation (Chapter 2 and 3) during the chastisement period of “a time.”Catholic calls that winnowing, as Chastisement which is actually referring to the first phase of a time, times, and half a time. Then He would return… (Revelation 6: 12-17; Matthew 24: 29-31).




The Apostles Creed “Jesus ascended into Heaven, seated at the right Hand of the Father,” signifying His Melchizedec Mediator ship in Heaven. ...but when He returns on earth there would be no One sitting on that “Mediatory seat” because Jesus' name had been pronounced “seven eyes, seven horns and seven spirits.”However, his heart remains the same forever. Though his mission is changing, He is forever immutable. His return means another Mission of the Triune God on earth...the Judgment. Either Catholics or Protestants; both of them are human spirits (the Divine vineyards) that would enter the prophesied desert for a time, times, and half a time. They would be judged by the dreadful Judge. Sins are like thorns and briers. They are like fuel that caught up the fire of God, and there would be billowing of smoke. There would be blood, fire and billowing smoke as the Signs on earth.


Defining true Christianity by merely referring to one’s membership of any established church institution would only lead us into endless debates because eventually one would be tempted to expose the history of wrongdoings, or the flesh of each another. Exposing the history of the flesh of each another means endless argument, as long as we are confined within this mortal flesh. Who would be blameless when we are adjudged via our flesh? Blessed be those who are redeemed; those who truly embrace the teaching of true Vine and true branches. However, Catholicism remained the Mother Church because Protestantism was born from Catholicism and not vice versa. Protestantism splintered from Catholicism. If Catholicism is the theology instituted by Christ, as according to Catholic apologetics then why God keeps on manifesting miracles and wondrous divine manifestations among the splintered Protestantism?


The answer lies in the Divine Creativity and ultimate Goodness of our Lord in reaching the world. The fact was that Protestantism did not reject the Way, but merely defying the papal supremacy. And neither did Catholicism side track from the Way, but merely upholding the traditions. Paradoxically, both remain the followers of the Way: and yet they subtly oppose each another. Yahweh was somehow still continuing his mission with the covenant people during the kings’ era though the kingdom was bureaucratically ruled by an earthly king. Monarchy system was, in fact, the Israelites’ square rejection of YHVH‘s Sovereignty: the Lord’s intention for the old covenant people was “6 you (a) will be for me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation," Exodus 19: 5-6; see Israelites rejection of YHVH in 1Samuel 8: 1-22). The truth is Jesus Christ (John 14:6). In John 14:6 Jesus said, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but by me.” The Truth is the Reality of God’s Spirit. The Word became flesh is the reality of God in the midst of mankind. The reality of the presence of God is only accessible when one is in the presence of the Spirit of Truth.

Questioning true Christianity based on “comparative paradigms”would be rather a manifestation of one’s failure in seeing the ultimate reason of being a believer i.e. to be continuously reconciled to the Spirit of God. My soul is free from subtle historical prejudices dished out by the mortal historians, thus I see that Catholicism, and Protestantism are not guilty of anything. The lay Christians might be deceived by the fine sounding arguments opined by the historian-authors. Spiritual watchfulness would be helpful in differentiating between historical subjects and the Truth. History always presents the “facts,” but the “truth” is always communicated by the Spirit of Truth. Besides, the Serpent is very wise; he has endless deceptions in conquering the bride.


The bride must be choreographed and divided, so that the beasts, as the “mouths” of the Old Serpent, could easily conquer her imprints and missions on earth. The Adversary’s emissaries, the beasts of the earth,  are always seeking to splash acid on the wounds, so that the saints are conquered. The beasts as Satan‘s emissaries on earth had succeeded in conquering the holy people through wars, antichrist-ideologies, and through economic conquests (the slavery of fiat money). These three known classic manoeuvres of Conquest had enmeshed the Church, and even the Church’s break ups became the subtle loop holes for the church; making her to be easily infiltrated by “waters like river spewed out by the Serpent.”Now, the power of church has broken...it is the prophesied “desert”: ...a time, times, and half a time.


To be extremely tireless zealot with the supremacy of one‘s doctrinal belief would rather set the boundary of the infinite Spirit of God, thus manifesting our immature predisposition in discerning the truth. Our judgmental inclination only manifests our earthly precepts and unrefined understanding concerning the infinite and unfathomable mystery of the Spirit of God: the boundless Word.   Edifying apologetics belongs to those who are acquainted with the spirit of understanding and the spirit of wisdom; those who know how to handle the Word that sharper than any double-edged-sword, separating soul and spirit. Edifying apologetics is essentially the Spirit of Prophecy. There is no time to entertain lawyering because it merely displays our desperate desire in winning an argument. Time is running out for an argument. Considering the nearness of his name, his message is not subduing every argument into the power of Christ or “Go, my people win an argument.” But He said, “Go, my covenant people enter your own chamber.”It is within your own chamber that you would be strengthened by the presence of His Spirit; it is the fire of His presence that lights up the wicks of our spirits. 

Blessed those pure heart for they shall see the Face of God (Matthew 5:8). Jesus said that if your eyes are full of light then indeed your body are full of light, and if your eyes are dark and indeed your body be totally darkened.  Jesus in his dying breaths said, “Forgive them Father, for they do not know what they are doing.”  The descendants of the wounded men ought to face the truth that our intellectual capacities impede our understanding of the Most holy One. Unless we are continously renewing our minds with our daily Manna, our human precepts would not be transformed  into seeing the divine precepts. We continue our journey of faith as according to the precepts shaped up by the teachings of our Churches. And yet our dominant consciousness is undeniably remaining centred on our mortal grey matters within our cranial skulls. Unless we are truly endowed with the gift of the Spirit “the fear of the Lord,” then we may remain within the untransformed-cocooned-faith, dominated by our own mental-precepts. 


Thus, such cocoon is imprisoning us from having the right spirit of understanding and the right spirit of wisdom.  May the Lord who is merciful and enduring lovingkindness endow us the operations of the gifts of the Sevenfold Spirit; and may the spirit of the fear of the Lord descends at our wicks of our spirits,  so that even our flesh is weak, and yet our spirits may be transformed into what He transcendingly intends us to be, as according to the richness of His omniwisdom and omniknowledge. Blessed be those who hold the treasure of Sion; the fear of the Lord (Isaiah 33: 6).  The followers of Christ who are inclined to cultivate judgmental predisposition would be ending up uninterested in practicing the heart of Jesus, when it comes to forgiving their fellow brethren, they would find out as if pebbles along their throats of prayers.  There must have been subtle hatred that had seeped down the souls of the mortal men who claimed to be the followers of Christ.  Every mouth that confesses  to be the followers of Christ would be facing the Judgment Seat of Christ. Therefore, let Christ alone be the Judge who judges in equity.    Jesus said that if your eyes are full of light then indeed your body are full of light, and if your eyes are dark and indeed your body be totally darkened.  Following Christ is  more than the knowledge of apologetics.  It is likened by Christ as the true branches and the true Vine: dependency.  Does anyone  would be  just enough to  tell you that you are full of light or vice versa?  Solomon said “human spirit is the lamp of God, it searches the innermost being
