Learn why Elijah the prophet did not enter anyone's home on Passover this year—but his protective "spirit" can enter your mind right now . . .
If you don't know who Elijah is—it is very important for your future safety that you learn . . .
Are you prepared for the "Second Coming" — of Elijah?
Who was Elijah? He was a major Israelite prophet who left no book or "scriptures" written by himself—yet is known from the historical records of the "bald-headed" writer and prophet Elisha who received Elijah's literal and figurative "mantle" of authority, enabling him to reveal the past and future importance of Elijah in the "salvation" of Israel—not only the future salvation of Elijah's own generation living in the 800's B.C., but also the future physical salvation of "all (historical) Israel"—which will lead to their future spiritual salvation.
ROMANS 11:25-29
11:25 For I would not, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in.
11:26 And so all Israel shall be saved. As it is written, There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob [Israel]:
11:27 "For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins."
11:28 As concerning the Gospel, they are enemies for your sakes; but as concerning the election, they are beloved for their father's sakes [Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob].
11:29 For the gifts and calling of GOD are without repentance [are not subject to change].
JEREMIAH 31:31-37
31:31 Behold, the days come, says the Lord, that I will make a New Covenant with the House of Israel, and with the House of Judah:
31:32 Not according to the Covenant that I made with their [Israelite] fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my Covenant they broke, although I was a "Husband" unto them, says the Lord.
31:33 But this shall be the Covenant that I will make with the House of Israel. After those days, says the Lord, I will put my Law in their inward parts, and write it in their "hearts" [minds]; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
31:34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord; for they shall all know me ["in Person"], from the least of them unto the greatest of them, says the Lord. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
31:35 Thus says the Lord, which gives the Sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the Moon, and of the stars for a light by night; which divides the Sea when the waves thereof roar—the Lord of Hosts is his name.
31:36 If those ordinances depart from before me, says the Lord, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever.
31:37 Thus says the Lord; If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the Earth searched out beneath [and "modern science" still can't do that—in spite of their concocted "math"ical theories] [then] I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, says the Lord. [In other words—the Lord God of Israel, who was the Angel "Presence" of the LORD GOD the Unlimited, and became YAHshua, the Christ, will never cast off Israel as a historical, present-day, and future collective entity.]
The prophesied re-appearance of the original prophet Elijah is anticipated every year during many of the Passover Seder dinners observed by millions of "religious" and "semi-religious" advocates of traditional "Judaism". Belief in the literal "second coming" of Elijah seems to have become an "acceptable" substitute for anticipation of the "second coming of Christ" among those who believe in Messianic Hebrew scriptures, and their extension known as the "Christian scriptures".
Many who consider themselves to be Jews—either ethnically or religiously, have only nominal belief in the subsequent appearance of a Messiah after Elijah returns, partly due to numerous conflicting "Jewish" definitions of what the "Messiah" is supposed to be. But they enjoy the anticipation of perhaps seeing the original prophet Elijah join them during their private home Passover observances.
That same problem of defining what "Messiah", or "Christ" means, permeates the fragmented "World of Christianity" in which most major denominational Churches have their own denominational opinion of who and what Christ is, or "should" be according to their self-concocted "job descriptions".
Elijah's teaching and authority was validated by his power to perform miracles, including the resurrection of a young boy for continuation of his original human life. Elijah's primary responsibility was to expose the rampant idolatry permeating the generations of Northern Israel after King Solomon's reign.
King Solomon established the foundation of what became Israel's nation-wide state-sponsored idolatry by accommodating the favorite idolatrous rituals of most of his reputed 700 wives and 300 concubines (or "mistresses"), in spite of, and contrary to his supposed "wisdom".
1 KINGS 11:1-12
11:1 But King Solomon "loved" many strange women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites:
11:2 Of the nations concerning which the Lord said unto the children of Israel, You shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in unto you: for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods; Solomon "clave" unto these in "love".
11:3 And he had seven hundred wives, princesses [what?—no old queens?], and three hundred concubines [not to be confused with cucumber vines]: and his wives turned away his heart.
11:4 For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods; and his heart was not perfect [in regard to loyalty] with the Lord his God, as was the heart of David his father.
11:5 For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.
11:6 And Solomon did evil in the sight of the Lord, and went not fully after the Lord, as did David his father.
11:7 Then did Solomon build a high place for Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, in the hill that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the abomination of the children of Ammon.
11:8 And likewise did he for all his strange wives, which burnt incense and sacrificed unto their gods.
11:9 And the Lord was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned from the Lord God of Israel, who had appeared unto him twice,
11:10 And had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods; but he kept not that which the Lord commanded.
11:11 Wherefore the Lord said unto Solomon, Forasmuch as this is done of you, and you have not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I have commanded you, I will surely rend the Kingdom from you, and will give it to your servant.
11:12 Notwithstanding, in your days I will not do it, for David your father's sake. But I will rend it out of the hand of your son.
It was Elijah's mission to expose the "occult" or hidden spirit powers "behind" the physical idols—alienated angels (devils) that were no match for the "God of Israel" (the Angel of the LORD, and Lord of Hosts of angels) yet who were able to take advantage of the back side of "freedom of religion" which was abused by Solomon.
1 CHRONICLES 17:24
17:24 Let it even be established, that your name may be magnified for ever, saying, The Lord of Hosts is the God of Israel, even a God to Israel: and let the house of David your servant be established before you.
The Presentations on this website, and in the newly available book, Xrayzr Revelations Previews of the Beginning of the End-Time, explain repeatedly how the God of Israel has continually been limited and thwarted in numerous ways in his authorized role as the singular personification of the "only true" LORD, GOD the Unlimited, who is truly unlimited in what He allows Himself to accomplish—but not what He allows His Angel "Presence" or Personification to accomplish.
EXODUS 23:20-23
23:20 Behold, I [GOD] send an Angel before you, to keep you in the way, and to bring you into the place which I have prepared.
23:21 Beware of him, and obey his voice. Provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions; for my name [YAHWH] is in him.
23:22 But if you shall indeed obey his [the Angel's] voice, and do all that I [GOD] speak; then I will be an enemy unto your enemies, and an adversary unto your adversaries.
23:23 For my Angel shall go before you, and bring you in unto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; and I will cut them off.
The original prophet Elijah was often given authority to display powers no devil spirit can match; and he was more than willing to sarcastically ridicule their inferior levels of supernatural power in an official contest between himself and his God, and the Israelite priests of Baal and their devil gods.
1 KINGS 18:26-27
18:26 And they took the bullock which was given them, and they dressed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying, O Baal, hear us. But there was no voice, nor any that answered. And they leaped upon the altar which was made.
18:27 And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah [sarcastically] mocked them, and said, Cry aloud; for he is a god [and may not be close enough to hear you]. Either he is talking [to some other god?]; or he is pursuing; or he is in a journey; or perhaps he sleeps, and must be awakened.
Elijah was, nevertheless, fearful because of his own vulnerability to physical harm and his perceived lack of support from anyone else in Israel, though there were at least 7,000 supporters of his efforts, known only by God.
1 KINGS 19:1-4
19:1 And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and likewise how he had slain all the prophets with the sword.
19:2 Then Jezebel sent a messenger unto Elijah, saying, So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I make not your life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time.
19:3 And when he saw that, he arose, and ran for his life, and came to Beersheba, which belongs to Judah, and left his servant there.
19:4 But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree; and he requested for himself that he might die; and said, It is enough; now, O Lord, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers.
The personal effort of Elijah to prepare many in Israel for a future "salvation" did not end with the apparent end of his historic accomplishments. Elijah has not yet endured the first, and usually the only death experienced by almost all humans. His own personal ministry was literally "suspended" in a spectacular exhibit of his value as a spokesman of the Lord, God of Israel.
2 KINGS 2:8-12
2:8 And Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and struck the waters, and they were divided here and there, so that they two went over on dry ground.
2:9 And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for you, before I be taken away from you. And Elisha said, I pray you, let a double portion of your spirit be upon me.
2:10 And he said, You have asked a hard thing; nevertheless, if you see me when I am taken from you, it shall be so unto you; but if not, it shall not be so.
2:11 And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
2:12 And Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more; and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces.
That exhibition of being taken up to Heaven, and the continuation and expansion of Elijah's prophetic and miracle-working ministry by his "bald-headed" associate, Elisha, was recorded by Elisha and has found its place in the Biblical books of Kings.
But Elijah's ministry was not finished. It was temporarily suspended until his promised "second coming" shortly before the "second coming" of the Lord, God of Israel, who became the Messiah—YAHshua, the Christ—first, in a mortal human embodiment; and, as he will appear in the future, in an immortal glorified Spirit embodiment as the God of Israel, and as the Millennial God of the World.
MALACHI 4:1-6
4:1 For, behold, the Day comes that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yes, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the Day that comes shall burn them up, says the Lord of Hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.
4:2 But unto you that fear [respect] my name shall the Sun of Righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and you shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.
4:3 And you shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the Day that I shall do this, says the Lord of Hosts.
4:4 Remember you the Law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb [Sinai] for all Israel; with the statutes and judgments.
4:5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful Day of the Lord:
4:6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and strike the Earth [the entire World] with a curse.
That was the "final" message from the "Malach/chi" (the Angel of the LORD, who was the historical God of Israel, and Lord of Hosts). The Angel ("malach" in Hebrew) of the LORD GOD, has also become the Christ—Χριστος (Greek for "Christ", which begins with a Greek "chi" or "X")—thus becoming "Malach/chi", or "Malach X"—the Angel who is the Christ. And in due time, the Messiah/Christ and "God" of "all historical Israel" will become the Messiah/Christ of "all" historical humanity!
REVELATION 21:5-8
21:5 And he that sat upon the throne [the Lord, YAHshua, the Messiah] said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
21:6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is thirsty of the fountain of the water of life freely.
21:7 He that overcomes shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my ["spiritual"] "son" [or "daughter"—not to be confused with becoming the Holy Spirit "begotten" children of GOD, the Father].
21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the Lake which burns with fire and brimstone; which is the second death [a final annihilation of "body and soul" if GOD's offer of salvation is rejected after a final private and personal judgment by GOD's Angel].
MATTHEW 10:28
10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul [the spirit-generated living personality]: but rather fear Him [GOD] which is able to destroy [annihilate] both soul and body in Hell [not a continuing or "everlasting" realm for humans—only for Satan and those angels who continue to choose alienation from GOD].
MATTHEW 25:41
25:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, you cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the Devil and his angels:
Malach/chi promised he would enable the return of the original prophet Elijah shortly before his own return as the original and only true Messiah/Christ—Savior of "all Israel" and eventually, virtually "all men" (male and female humans) who have been born a first time in flesh bodies, and must be born again in spirit bodies, as explained in several Xrayzr Presentations.
But how will anyone who is "waiting and watching" for the "second coming" of Elijah, recognize him if he appears? Can he simultaneously walk through the doorway—or through the door—of millions of homes in which the Passover Seder is being ritualistically observed, to sit in the chair and share the meal, as if he was Santa Claus drinking the milk and eating the cookies provided for him in millions of homes on Xmas eve?
No—Elijah will not appear "in person" until the World as we now know it has been allowed to enter a forty-two month period of unprecedented trouble and tribulation symbolized and detailed throughout traditional Messianic scriptures, and traditional Christian scriptures—and the new book, now available on Amazon.com, titled Xrayzr Revelations Previews of the Beginning of the End-Time. ('xcuse the "plug"—perpetual promotion machines require a good plug)
Am I being "presumptuous" including my Presentation writings among the writings or "scriptures" of historical Hebrew prophets, historical Jewish apostles, and other disciples of YAHshua, the Christ? Time will tell . . . At least believe the extensive traditional scriptural foundation that supports the content of my Presentations made available on this website and in the first of many future Xrayzr Revelations books.
How can anyone believe in a "resurrection" of the ancient 2,000 to 4,000 year old scriptures supposedly discredited and debunked by "modern science"? Many Christians have re-interpreted or "modernized" the "remains" of the parts of the "Bible" they can accept; or simply dismiss the specificity of detailed historical Messianic/Christian scriptures.
And that has been a mistake also made by millions who are still "Jewish" enough to believe in the "second coming of Elijah" from "Heaven" at Passover every year, even if they refuse to believe in the "second-coming" of the Christ from Heaven, who was the "God of Israel", the Angel of the LORD GOD, the Unlimited, whom he represented as a singular personality.
Understandably, many millions of "Jews" have been so repelled by the World-wide mishmash of irrelevant, illogical, contradictory, "holier-than-thou" dogma posing as "Christian" theology that they may miss the return of Elijah's protective "spirit"—which is also the protective "spirit" or "heart" of the "Fathers" of Israel—Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—a spirit that attempts to protect Israel by making it worthy of protection by its God—not by attempting to destroy every suspected human "enemy".
That "spirit of Elijah" will be evident in the approach and messages of his counterparts and successors, such as the prophet Elisha, and John, the baptizer, and many others who will be fulfilling prophecy around the World at the time the original Elijah, restored to a continuation of his mortal life, will be witnessing in Jerusalem along with the original apostle John, also restored to a continuation of his mortal life a few years before the appearance of the Malach/chi (X)—the Angel of the LORD who is also the Messiah/Christ.
REVELATION 11:3-4
11:3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
11:4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the Earth.
ZECHARIAH 4:11-14
4:11 Then answered I, and said unto him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side thereof?
4:12 And I answered again, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves?
4:13 And he answered me and said, Know you not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.
4:14 Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole Earth.
Please review the Presentation, How to Prevent the Destruction of Israel . . . by God and connect the above assertions to their basic premise—the only protection "Israel" should depend on is acceptance of the protective message of Elijah and all who have followed him in his "spirit", and "power" to influence Israel to reject its dependence on idolatry—or "gunolatry"—for protection against destruction from imagined enemies.
Just as John, the baptizer, made it clear that he was not the "only true" Elijah—he was recognized by YAHshua, the Christ as being Elijah-like in his efforts to prepare Israel for the official appearance of YAHshua of Nazareth and YAHshua's progressive revelations about his position as the one who will be the glorified supernatural Messiah of not only Israel—but almost all of the humans who will survive the forty-two month long End-Time and the six-month long "Day of the Lord", or "Lord's Day" which will follow.
REVELATION 1:9-11
1:9 I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the Kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos [not necessarily as a prisoner], for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.
1:10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's Day [taken into a fully dimensional vision of the events leading to the Day of the Lord], and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
1:11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last; and what you see, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia [Minor]; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.
AMOS 5:18-20
5:18 Woe unto you that desire the Day of the Lord! To what end is it for you? The Day of the Lord is darkness, and not light [it's not Sunday].
5:19 As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.
5:20 Shall not the Day of the Lord be darkness, and not light, even very dark, and no brightness in it?
If you are watching and waiting for a human to introduce himself as the prophet Elijah, and expecting him to choose your home as the location in which he will observe the Passover Seder this year—be very, very skeptical if "Elijah" shows up and starts drinking the wine you have prepared for him. He won't be the "only true" Elijah! Elijah's End-Time responsibilities will be executed in Jerusalem.
The original Elijah was rather "wild and wooly", as was John, the baptizer, who some thought might be the re-embodiment of Elijah.
2 KINGS 1:6-8
1:6 And they said unto him, There came a man up to meet us, and said unto us, Go, return unto the king that sent you, and say unto him, Thus says the Lord, Is it because there is not a God in Israel, that you send to enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron? Therefore you shall not come down from that bed on which you are gone up, but shall surely die.
1:7 And he said unto them, What manner of man was he which came up to meet you, and told you these words?
1:8 And they answered him, He was a hairy man, and girt with a girdle of leather about his loins. And he said, It is Elijah the Tishbite.
MATTHEW 3:1-4
3:1 In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea,
3:2 And saying, Repent you; for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.
3:3 For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare you the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
3:4 And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leather girdle about his loins; and his food was locusts and wild honey.
YAHshua's "cave-man" cousin John, the baptizer, would not have been a very genial guest at your Passover Seder, and would have abstained from drinking your wine—although he might have accepted any left-over honey-dipped locusts from your tray of "horse doovers" (hors d'oeuvres).
But John wasn't presenting "cave-man" theology, which is what you will probably hear in far too many "Christ-centered churches" which "teach" theology that is so simple a child, or a "cave-man" can understand it. Here is a sample of some of the practical, socially relevant messages John preached along with his rooster-like, "cock-crowing" warning to prepare for the rising of the "Sun of Righteousness"—YAHshua, the Christ/Messiah.
MALACHI 4:2
4:2 But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of Righteousness arise with healing in his wings . . .
LUKE 3:4-15
3:4 As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare you the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
3:5 Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth;
3:6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of GOD.
3:7 Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who has warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
3:8 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham as our father; for I say unto you, that GOD is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
3:9 And now, also, the ax is laid unto the root of the trees. Every tree therefore which brings not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
3:10 And the people asked [not axed] him, saying, What shall we do then?
3:11 He answered and said unto them, He that has two coats, let him impart to him that has none; and he that has food, let him do likewise.
3:12 Then came also Publicans [contracted tax collectors who were also public works and defense work contractors] to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do?
3:13 And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.
3:14 And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages.
3:15 And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he was the Christ, or not;
YAHshua's first "rising" as the "Sun" of GOD was out of the water of the Jordan River after John baptized him, serving as an example for others to follow in the "spiritual" sense. According to the apostle Paul, there is only one baptism that matters. It does not require submersion in water, and rarely involves supernatural linguistic exhibitions such as those made necessary on the Day of Pentecost in 30 A.D.
EPHESIANS 4:1-6
4:1 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, plead to you that you walk worthy of the vocation wherewith you are called,
4:2 With all lowliness and humility, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
4:3 Endeavoring to keep the unity of the [Holy] Spirit in the bond of peace.
4:4 There is one [spiritual Church] Body, and one [Holy] Spirit, even as you are called in one hope of your calling;
4:5 One Lord [YAHshua, who personifies the LORD, GOD], one faith, one [spiritual] baptism [into the "one Church Body in Heaven—not countless variations of "officialized" dunking, dipping, pouring, or spritzing],
4:6 One GOD and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
YAHshua's public baptism, in the summer of 27 A.D. was the fulfillment of the end of the sixty-nine "weeks" or "sevens" of years referred to in the "seventy weeks" prophecy in Daniel 9. YAHshua, finally began to publicize himself as the "Son of Man" who was required by "his" GOD to fulfill the mortal "flesh and blood" first phase of being the Messiah.
DANIEL 9:24-27
9:24 Seventy "weeks" are determined upon your people and upon your Holy City, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy [the Messiah/Christ—all of which can not occur until after the Messiah establishes the Millennial Kingdom of GOD on Earth].
9:25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going out of the commandment to restore and to [re-]build Jerusalem until the Messiah the Prince [appears], shall be seven "weeks", and threescore and two "weeks", [sixty-nine "weeks", or "sevens" of years—totaling 483 years]: [during those years] the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
9:26 And after threescore and two "weeks" [during the seventieth "week"] shall Messiah be cut off [in fulfillment of the numerous detailed Hebrew prophecies, such as Isaiah 53, detailing that event, which occurred on Passover Day in 30 A.D.] but not for himself. And the people [armies]of the [demon-possessed human] "prince" [the "Beast"] that shall come, shall destroy the City [Jerusalem] and the [Tabernacle] sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood [a literal tsunami type flood of water from the Mediterranean Sea], and unto the end of the [ensuing] war [against Israelites who will have missed a chance to escape] desolations are determined.
9:27 And he [the Messiah] shall [begin to] confirm the covenant [the "marriage covenant" with Israel established at Mt. Sinai] with many [Israelites] for one "week" [of years]: and in the midst [not the exact center] of the [seventieth] "week" [of years] he [the Messiah, restored to his former life as the Angel of the LORD] shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations [being committed by the "Beast" and his armies] he [the Messiah] shall make it [the landscape] desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined [by End-Time prophecy] shall be poured upon the desolate [those inhabiting the desolated landscape—mostly "Gentiles"—who will also be worshipping Satanic idols created in the image of the "Beast"].
Obviously the last years of the "seventieth week" have not yet been fulfilled—though YAHshua fulfilled the first two and a half years until his life was "cut off", as planned by GOD, on Passover, 30 A.D. The planned progression of fulfillments of the "seventieth week" were "suspended" or postponed. The last four and a half years remain to be fulfilled. They will include the forty-two month, three and a half year unrestrained End-Time reign of Satan, which will conclude at the beginning of the Day of the Lord.
Although John, the baptizer's messages were relatively simple, they were not accepted by many because the messages were being lost in the rejection of the messenger as someone not worth listening to because he wore no expensive white religious robes, or shiny red shoes, or silly ceremonial head-gear to make himself look "important".
Individuals who are impressed by gold-plated religious regalia, and are willing to worship images of everything under the Sun—including the Sun, will be among those easily deceived by devils during the End-Time. And if they survive the forty-two month period of Satan's idolatrous reign— they are likely to be among those fulfilling the ancient "New" Testament revelation predicting the return of such "cave-man theologians" to the "dens of iniquity"—and inequity they deserve.
REVELATION 6:15-17
6:15 And the kings of the Earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens [caverns or caves] and in the rocks of the mountains;
6:16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sits on the Throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
6:17 For the great Day of his wrath has come; and who shall be able to stand?
EZEKIEL 33:23-29
33:23 Then the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
33:24 Son of man, they that inhabit those wastes of the land of Israel speak, saying, Abraham was one, and he inherited the land: but we are many; the land is given us for inheritance.
33:25 Wherefore say unto them, Thus says the Lord God; You eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes toward your idols [including the worshipped objects of "gunolatry"] and shed blood; and shall you possess the land?
33:26 You stand upon your sword, you work abomination, and you defile every one his neighbor's wife: and shall you possess the land?
33:27 Say you thus unto them, Thus says the Lord God; As I live, surely they that are in the wastes [desolated places] shall fall by the sword, and him that is in the open field will I give to the beasts to be devoured, and they that be in the forts and in the caves shall die of the pestilence.
33:28 For I [the Lord of Hosts] will lay the land most desolate, and the pomp of her strength shall cease; and the mountains of Israel shall be desolate, that none shall pass through.
33:29 Then shall they know that I am the Lord, when I have laid the land most desolate because of all their abominations which they have committed.
The above happened to Israel in Ezekiel's time as a prototype of the final fulfillment. "Modern" Israel will only become subject to this during the beginning of the End-Time—there is no danger of it happening until then.
The scriptures that matter in the Bible are those that are directed to those who might be willing to take their heads and bodies out of some of the cavernous cathedrals, or "carnivorous (predatory) carnival circus churches" which spend too much money "cannibalizing" the memberships of other churches to enable the enlargement and enrichment of their own.
Many of the scriptures that are worth reading in the "Jewish" or "Christian" Bibles are those which predict and describe the completed fulfillment of all of the symbolism of the ancient Passover event in the crucifixion, death, burial, and resurrection of YAHshua, of Nazareth—the first to be given power to remove his resurrected head and body out of the "cave", or stone tomb in which he had been "buried".
As detailed in the Presentation, The First Atom—Xrayzr, the one who is the primary personification of Xrayzr is on the verge of finishing his God-given responsibility to ensure that a "people" or a "great multitude" of people from around the Earth are prepared for the Kingdom of GOD and the appearance of its King—the Messiah/Christ.
REVELATION 7:9-14
7:9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and families, and people, and tongues, stood before the Throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
7:10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our GOD which sits upon the Throne, and unto the Lamb.
7:11 And all the angels stood round about the Throne, and about the Elders and the four "beasts", and fell before the Throne on their faces, and worshipped GOD,
7:12 Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honor, and power, and might, be unto our GOD for ever and ever. Amen.
7:13 And one of the Elders answered, saying unto me, Who are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?
7:14 And I said unto him, Sir, you know. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
You can participate in the finishing of that responsibility, as part of the spiritual "Body of Christ" of which he is the "Head". Although Christ can manifest himself in any form of complete embodiment that he is authorized by GOD to utilize—even as the singular personification or glorified embodiment of the invisible and unlimited "only true GOD", the Father. The Father rarely appears "publicly" in bodily form Himself—but did in the prophetic imagery of Daniel 7.
DANIEL 7:9-14
7:9 I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of Days [GOD, the Unlimited]did sit [“in Person” rather than having His Angel appear in His place] whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of His head like the pure wool. His Throne was like the fiery flame, and His wheels as burning fire.
7:10 A fiery stream issued and came forth from before Him. Thousand thousands [millions] ministered unto Him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him. The Judgment was set, and the books were opened.
7:11 I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the "horn" spoke: I beheld even till the "Beast" was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame.
7:12 As concerning the rest of the "beasts", they had their dominion taken away; yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time.
7:13 I saw in the night, visions, and, behold, one like the Son of Man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of Days, and they brought him near before Him.
7:14 And there was given him [the Son of Man] dominion, and glory, and a Kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his Kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
In future publications you will be able to read extensive explanations of the amazing doctrinal symbolism of all of the human reproductive components and processes and what they reveal about the true theology of Messianic/Christian scriptures. The parallels are amazing.
JOHN 3:3-8
3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Truly, truly, I say unto you, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the [invisible, glorified Government representatives of the] Kingdom of GOD.
3:4 Nicodemus says unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
3:5 Jesus answered, Truly, truly, I say unto you, Except a man be born of water [amniotic fluid] and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the Kingdom [Government] of GOD.
3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
3:7 Marvel not that I said unto you, You must be born again.
3:8 The wind blows where it will, and you hear the sound thereof, but can not tell from where it comes, and where it goes. So is every one that is born of the Spirit.
If you believe you have already been "born again", please demonstrate your ability to be an invisible force like the wind, suddenly appearing in flesh and bone form "from out of nowhere" to teach those who need it.
LUKE 24:36-47
24:36 And as they thus spoke, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and said unto them, Peace be unto you.
24:37 But they were terrified and frightened, and supposed that they had seen a [devil] spirit.
24:38 And he said unto them, Why are you troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts [minds]?
24:39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. Handle me, and see; for a [devil] spirit has not flesh and bones, as you see me have.
24:40 And when he had thus spoken, he showed them his hands and his feet.
24:41 And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have you here any food?
24:42 And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.
24:43 And he took it, and did eat before them.
24:44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spoke unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the Law of Moses, and in the Prophets, and in the Psalms, concerning me.
24:45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,
24:46 And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it was essential for Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day;
24:47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
ISAIAH 30:20-21
30:20 And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not your teachers be removed into a corner [of a classroom] any more, but your eyes shall see your teachers [after they appear "from nowhere"]:
30:21 And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, This is the way, walk you in it, when you turn to the right hand, and when you turn to the left.
The "spiritual Body" of Christ—the only true Church of GOD maintained within the Holy Spirit, or hallowed, "halo'd" central "Mind" of GOD, (the Church whose members GOD only knows), will all be "born again" at the same time (at the second-coming of Christ, the Messiah) and fully joined to the "Head", YAHshua, who was the "first-born of many brethren " (the first to be "born again" into a Spirit embodiment). That is symbolized by the fact that in virtually all human births, the head is born first—usually amid the mother's excruciating pain, and "blood, sweat, and tears"—then the body is "eased" out, "in the twinkling of an eye."
COLOSSIANS 1:12-18
1:12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which has made us suitable to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:
1:13 Who has delivered us from the power of darkness, and has translated us into the Kingdom of His dear Son;
1:14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins;
1:15 Who is the image of the invisible GOD; the Firstborn of every creature.
1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in Heaven, and that are on Earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers; all things were created by him, and for him:
1:17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
1:18 And he is the Head of the Body, the Church; who is the Beginning; the Firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the pre-eminence.
HEBREWS 12:22-25
12:22 But you are come unto Mount Zion, and unto the City of the living GOD, the Heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,
12:23 To the General Assembly and Church of the Firstborn, which are written in Heaven [in the Lamb's Book of Life], and to GOD, the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just[ified] men [and women] made perfect [the spirits of all saints who die are perfected by GOD to enable all future manifestations of their glorified personas or personalities],
12:24 And to Jesus the Mediator of the New Covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaks better things than that of Abel [his sacrificing of lambs].
12:25 See that you refuse not him that speaks. For if they escaped not who refused him that spoke on Earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaks from Heaven:
The "Body" of Christ on Earth, and in Heaven, is very much attached to the Head, wherever he might choose to be—or wherever he is assigned to be by GOD, the Father. Any humans who have become "written in the Lamb's Book of Life—in Heaven", beginning with Adam and Eve at the "foundation" or founding of our human World, and including any added throughout human history, and those who will become part of that Most Holy Book; are known only to GOD and His Angel.
Those who have fully died in an Earthly sense are not considered "dead" by GOD, and their "spirits" or "minds" are literally "sleeping" in GOD's Spirit and are not usually aware of anything unless "awakened" in GOD's Spirit for periods of communication and training for the responsibilities they will be awarded when they are finally given uninterrupted continuous consciousness and authority to utilize glorified levels of embodiment beginning at the "First Resurrection".
An example of such a temporary "awakening" of the saints to update their awareness of history—whether they died B.C. or A.D., or will die in the future, is illustrated by a short passage from Revelation.
REVELATION 6:7-11
6:7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth "beast" [angel] say, Come and see.
6:8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse; and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the Earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the Earth.
6:9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the Altar, [at a level below the elevated Throne], the souls [human personas] of them that were slain for the word of GOD, and for the testimony which they held.
6:10 And they cried [collectively] with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, do you not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the Earth [those murderers who will dwell on Earth during Satan's reign]?
6:11 And white robes were given unto every one of them [indicating temporary embodiment during the period of "awakening"—but not the imaginary conscious "embodiments" we experience during dreams]; and it was said unto them, that they should rest ["sleep"] yet for a little season, until their fellow servants also, and their brethren that should be killed [martyred] as they were, should be fulfilled.
The original prophet Elijah, and the prophet and apostle John, never actually died—notwithstanding bogus contradictory reports to the contrary. They have had their original human lives and flesh and blood human embodiments "suspended" in spirit unconsciousness until they are given a continuation of their original lives as the Two Witnesses of the book of Revelation. It will be the same as Lazarus being re-embodied physically to continue his physical life after dying.
They will prophesy before the megalithic "living" idol which will be erected on the Temple Mount by Satan's alienated angels who will be given control over Jerusalem for forty-two months of the End-Time—except for an expansive area toward the West that will be elevated to a towering height to become a "place of safety" within view of the huge "living" idol, made in the image of the human "Beast", or Anti-Christ.
1 KINGS 18:21-40
18:21 And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt you between two opinions? If the Lord be God, follow him; but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.
18:22 Then said Elijah unto the people, I, even I only, remain a prophet of the Lord [he thought]; but Baal's prophets are four hundred and fifty men.
18:23 Let them therefore give us two bullocks; and let them choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under; and I will dress the other bullock, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under.
18:24 And call you on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of the Lord; and the God that answers by fire, let him be God. And all the people answered and said, It is well spoken.
18:25 And Elijah said unto the prophets of Baal, Choose you one bullock for yourselves, and dress it first; for you are many; and call on the name of your gods, but put no fire under.
18:26 And they took the bullock which was given them, and they dressed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning, even until noon, saying, O Baal, hear us. But there was no voice, nor any that answered. And they leaped upon the altar which was made.
18:27 And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah [sarcastically] mocked them, and said, Cry aloud: for he is a god; either he is talking, or he is pursuing, or he is in a journey, or perhaps he sleeps, and must be awaked.
18:28 And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lancets, till the blood gushed out upon them.
18:29 And it came to pass, when mid-day was past, and they prophesied until the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that there was neither voice, nor any to answer, nor any that regarded.
18:30 And Elijah said unto all the people, Come near unto me. And all the people came near unto him. And he repaired the altar of the Lord that was broken down.
18:31 And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, unto whom the word of the Lord came, saying, Israel shall be your name.
18:32 And with the stones he built an altar in the name of the Lord; and he made a trench about the altar, as great as would contain two measures of seed.
18:33 And he put the wood in order, and cut the bullock in pieces, and laid him on the wood, and said, Fill four barrels with water, and pour it on the burnt sacrifice, and on the wood.
18:34 And he said, Do it the second time. And they did it the second time. And he said, Do it the third time. And they did it the third time.
18:35 And the water ran round about the altar; and he filled the trench also with water.
18:36 And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that you are God in Israel, and that I am your servant, and that I have done all these things at your word.
18:37 Hear me, O Lord, hear me, that this people may know that you are the Lord God, and that you have turned their heart back again.
18:38 Then the fire of the Lord fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench.
18:39 And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces; and they said, The Lord, he is the God; the Lord, he is the God.
18:40 And Elijah said unto them, Take the prophets of Baal. Let not one of them escape. And they took them. And Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and slew them there.
2 KINGS 1:7-17
1:7 And he said unto them, What manner of man was he which came up to meet you, and told you these words?
1:8 And they answered him, He was an hairy man, and girt with a girdle of leather about his loins. And he said, It is Elijah the Tishbite.
1:9 Then the king sent unto him a captain of fifty with his fifty. And he went up to him; and, behold, he sat on the top of a hill. And he spoke unto him, You man of God, the king has said, Come down.
1:10 And Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty, If I be a man of God, then let fire come down from heaven, and consume you and your fifty. And there came down fire from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.
1:11 Again also he sent unto him another captain of fifty with his fifty. And he answered and said unto him, O man of God, thus has the king said, Come down quickly.
1:12 And Elijah answered and said unto them, If I be a man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume you and your fifty. And the fire of God came down from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.
1:13 And he sent again a captain of the third fifty with his fifty. And the third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and besought him, and said unto him, O man of God, I pray you, let my life, and the life of these fifty your servants, be precious in your sight.
1:14 Behold, there came fire down from heaven, and burnt up the two captains of the former fifties with their fifties; therefore let my life now be precious in your sight.
1:15 And the Angel of the Lord said unto Elijah, Go down with him. Be not afraid of him. And he arose, and went down with him unto the king.
1:16 And he said unto him, Thus says the Lord, Forasmuch as you have sent messengers to enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron, is it because there is no God in Israel to enquire of his word? Therefore you shall not come down off that bed on which you are gone up, but shall surely die.
1:17 So he died according to the word of the Lord which Elijah had spoken. And Jehoram reigned in his position in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah; because he had no son.
LUKE 9:49-56
9:49 And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in your name; and we forbad him, because he follows not with us.
9:50 And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not; for he that is not against us is for us.
9:51 And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up [after resurrection], he steadfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,
9:52 And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.
9:53 And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem.
9:54 And when his disciples, [and first cousins] James and John saw this [whom YAHshua called the "Sons of Thunder" MARK 3:17], they said, Lord, will you that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elijah did?
9:55 But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, You know not what manner of spirit you are of.
9:56 For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives [with lightning strikes], but to save them. And they went to another village.
Don't try to "command fire (or lightning) to come down from heaven" on theological competitors, or imagine you are doing GOD a favor by spending a lot of time condemning "false teachers" for teaching your idea of "false Christianity". They might be closer to the basics of doctrinal truth than you are.
"Heresy is in the mind of the holder." Some preachers that enjoy accusing others of heretical teaching can't clearly support their own dogma with "scripture". If you think my writing is heresy, then you must also think that all of the copious scriptures I clearly associate with my theology are also heretical.
Throughout human history, the realm of theology has been a hodge-podge of conflicting contradictions because everyone thinks that his "polished" collection of theological "jelly beans" is the only truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. That exclusionary, "doctrinal supremicism" is nonsense.
Simply read the descriptions of the "seven Churches " in Asia Minor, to whom the Revelation was transmitted. Talk about a hodge-podge of different approaches to Christianity—yet the Lord considered all of them to be part of "first century Christianity" and worthy of his attention.
Of course he wanted more purity in the behavior of the members—but minor doctrinal differences were not his major focus, as they are with some "bean-counting beanologians". Please read my Presentation, The Analogy of "Beanology" for further explanation.
Some "beanologians" spend much of their time writing books, or preaching sermons with the intent of driving "unlearned" believers out of their current Christian churches, rather than driving them into Christian churches that have much to offer—even if it doesn't include much accurate theology. If you believe in Christ—or believe in the Messiah, but don't want to refer to him as "Christ"—it doesn't matter whether your definition of the Christ/Messiah is "perfect" by some human standard.
But if your "Christian theology" drives you into hateful distrust of other "believers", and tempts you to try to "command fire to come down from heaven" on them, because they don't want to "walk" with you—understandably—you don't know "what manner of spirit you are of". It is a Satanic spirit. Satan himself will send fire down from heaven on those who refuse to worship him in the form of idols during the End-Time.
REVELATION 13:11-18
13:11 And I beheld another "Beast" coming up out of the Earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke as a dragon.
13:12 And he exercises all the power of the first "Beast" before him, and causes the Earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first "Beast", whose deadly wound was healed.
13:13 And he does great wonders, so that he makes fire come down from heaven on the Earth in the sight of men,
13:14 And deceives them that dwell on the Earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the [first] "Beast"; saying to them that dwell on the Earth, that they should make an image to the first "Beast", which had the wound by a "sword" [ceremonial knife for sacrifices], and did live [as if resurrected].
13:15 And he had power to give "life" unto the [megalithic] image of the "Beast", that the image of the "Beast" should both speak, and cause [by speaking] that as many as would not worship the image of the "Beast" should be killed.
13:16 And he causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark [made by a "branding-iron"] in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
13:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the "Beast" [which hasn't yet been revealed], or the number of his name.
13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that has understanding count the number of the "Beast"; for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
It is the Lord, YAHshua alone who must decide when the use of super-natural fire-power is appropriate and useful as a means of eliminating his Satan-worshipping enemies. And he has said:
LUKE 9:56
9:56 For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them.
REVELATION 20:6-10
20:6 Blessed and holy is he that has part in the First Resurrection; on such the second death has no power; but they shall be Priests of GOD and of Christ, and shall reign with him [Christ] a thousand years.
20:7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison [inside the Earth].
20:8 And shall [be allowed—one last time—to] go out to deceive the [remaining incorrigible or irredeemable human inhabitants of the] nations which are in the four quarters of the Earth, [those who will follow the devil who calls himself] GOG, and [those who will then be populating the historical land of] Magog, to gather them together to battle; the number of whom is "as the sand of the sea".
20:9 And they went up on the breadth of the Earth, and compassed [encircled] the [soon to be abandoned and replaced] "camp" of the Saints about, and the beloved City [Millennial Jerusalem] And fire came down from God out of Heaven, and devoured them.
20:10 And the Devil that deceived them was cast into the Lake of fire and brimstone, where the Beast and the False Prophet are [who were incarnated devils—as was Judas Iscariot], and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
Elijah was well known for calling for fire from heaven (from God), especially in the competition between the power of his God (the God of Israel) and the devil gods of Israel's priests of Baal. And the apostle John wished he could do the same thing to eliminate what he considered religious competition. Both of those two Witnesses will be given power to "blow away" any of the competition or human opposition that threatens them as they prophesy and warn visiting World rulers of the consequences of worshipping the towering Satanic idol that will be allowed to exist during the End-Time.
REVELATION 11:3-7
11:3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
11:4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
11:5 And if any man will hurt them, fire proceeds out of their mouth, and devours their enemies; and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed [executed by the supernatural power of God].
11:6 These have power [administrated by God] to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power [from God] over waters to turn them to blood, and to strike the Earth with all plagues, as often as they will [and God enables it].
11:7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the "Beast" that ascends out of the bottomless pit [an entrance into the "pit" of the Earth that does not have a "bottom" due to equalization of gravity at the center] shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them [their first death].
ZECHARIAH 4:11-14
4:11 Then answered I, and said unto him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side thereof?
4:12 And I answered again, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves?
4:13 And he answered me and said, Know you not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.
4:14 Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole Earth.
The following is a relevant aside, in reference to my Presentation on "American" Gunolatry—the individual and national worship of armaments, and their endless stockpiling by gun-hoarding citizens and government "leaders".
Those who imagine themselves firing their beloved firearms with deadly accuracy at an armed and dangerous invader, or gang of invaders, are about as naïve and deluded as a person living in a wooded or weedy area who "acquires" and "loads" a flame-thrower so he can instantly start a circular "backfire" all around his property to "protect" himself from the possibility that a fire in someone else's neighborhood might get to his house.
Doesn't everyone know that you should "fight fire with fire"? That plan might work with a prairie fire, but the brilliant home protector "doesn't have a prayer" that his blazing gun or flame-thrower plan won't "back-fire" and cause destruction and mayhem in his own home, and in the homes of his surrounding neighbors.
There is a good reason why every town has laws against firing weapons within the city limits, and nearby. Some might think it’s a good idea to shoot at the rats in their rat-infested homes—or at the pesky flies buzzing around the garbage in their kitchen sink—or around the open "flies" of their trousers. It isn't.
Those of you who aren't deluded by individual and national paranoia and fear of some other nation starting a war—for a change—know that friendships cause fewer problems than warships. And worship of warships is the ultimate arse-ininity (asininity). Do you have any idea how much money can be wasted trying to keep a "retired" battleship afloat with private funding, so one can "salivate" over its massive 66 foot-long guns?
Most burglars are not armed and dangerous and would prefer to rob a house with the occupants away, or unaware that they are being robbed. If you think you need an expensive and expansive arsenal of loaded weapons to protect your SELF—but not anyone in the potential lines of fire—from imaginary gangs of armed assailants invading your home; then perhaps the biggest threat to your safety is the unwarranted paranoia that has invaded your head and robbed you of a level of peace of mind that is warranted.
I will be covering the "other side" of self-protection in a future addition to the Gunolatry Presentation. Self-protection does not have to be potentially lethal and deadly to the "target", or to innocent by-standers, and family members, to be effective. And I'm not referring to "turning the other cheek", or praying for angelic protection, which doesn't work very well. Just ask Jesus.
Now "turning your other cheeks" and running to the nearest hiding spot can work very effectively. Just ask countless species of animals that instinctively use that as their primary means of defense from natural and unnatural predators (humans).
It is even advised as the primary means of surviving the brief period during which Satan and his natural and supernatural minions will be creating a massive trench around "old" Jerusalem in preparation for something Satan will attempt to do to those who ignore YAHshua's then relevant advice to run for cover. There will be no promise of protection even for "the saints" within that area if they have not escaped.
LUKE 21:20-24
21:20 And when you shall see Jerusalem compassed [encircled] with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.
21:21 Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter therein.
21:22 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
21:23 But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.
21:24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
MATTHEW 24:14-24
24:14 And this Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the World for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the End come.
24:15 When you therefore shall see the abomination of desolation [that will lead to desolation], spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the Holy Place [a future restoration of the Tent Tabernacle on the Temple Mount], (whoso reads, let him understand:)
24:16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains.
24:17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house;
24:18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
24:19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
24:20 But pray you that your flight be not in the Winter, neither on the Sabbath day:
24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the World to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
24:22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved [in the area of "old" Jerusalem]; but for the Elect's sake, those days shall be shortened.
24:23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, that shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very Elect.
The "False Prophet" or "Second Beast" will claim to be Elijah. He will promote the belief that the "Beast" is the Messiah/Christ after he is restored to apparently "human" life after his head is "cut off" by an enraged Tabernacle Priest with the ceremonial sacrifice knife because the "Beast" will have ordered an abominable image of himself erected on the sacrificial altar existing at that time. The false "Elijah" will soon thereafter be confronted by the true original Elijah, restored to life as one of the two Witnesses.
But outside of that relatively small area, and outside of the rich "bubble" cities in which Satan's worshippers will enjoy the dwindling resources of the World (as previewed in the "Whirled" Presentation) the rest of the World will be almost as "normal" as it has been throughout much of human history—before wide-spread use of electricity. Yet GOD will be manipulating that "norm" to enable Himself to determine who He will allow to survive to enter the Kingdom of GOD as human citizens.
Countless "saints" will be "preaching" the Gospel of the Kingdom of GOD to all the World, and prophesying with the "spirit" and supernatural power of Elijah, and Elisha, who could enhance their influence in Israel with many miracles. Yet it was said that there was no one greater at preparing Israel for the first coming of YAHshua than John, the baptizer, though he could work no miracles.
MATTHEW 11:7-14
11:7 And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went you out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?
11:8 But what went you out in order to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings' houses [and too many "houses of worship"].
11:9 But what went you out in order to see? A prophet? Yes, I say unto you, and more than a prophet.
11:10 For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before your face, which shall prepare your way before you.
11:11 Truly I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there has not risen a greater than John the Baptist; notwithstanding he that is least in the [soon-coming] Kingdom [or glorified governing authority] of Heaven is greater than he [because of their almost unlimited power to influence the World at that time].
11:12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now [shortly after John was executed by decapitation ordered by Herod Antipas] [what should have been the earthly prototype of] the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.
11:13 For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied [of what had happened to Israel]until John.
11:14 And if you will receive it, this is "Elijah", which was to come.
But the greatest work of influencing the World to prepare for the second coming of the Messiah will be performed in the future when an innumerable multitude will be empowered by GOD to validate their messages by doing greater cumulative miraculous works than YAHshua himself was able to do as an individual during the two and a half years of his human ministry.
LUKE 9:18-21
9:18 And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples were with him; and he asked them, saying, Whom say the people that I am?
9:19 They answering said, John the Baptist; but some say, Elijah; and others say, that one of the old prophets has risen again.
9:20 He said unto them, But whom say you that I am? Peter answering said, The Christ of GOD.
9:21 And he strictly charged them, and commanded them to tell no man that thing;
YAHshua wanted to be known by individuals able to hear his messages while witnessing miracles no other man could do, except by the power of GOD—not from the hear-say of "publicists"—or preachers that have continued, throughout the past 2,000 years, to lead their denominations, or brands of "Christ-centered" Churches while adding to the growing accumulation of misleading and contradictory definitions of who and what "Jesus Christ" is.
JOHN 10:32-34
10:32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I showed you from my Father. For which of those works do you stone me?
10:33 The ["Temple"] Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone you not; but for blasphemy; and because that you, being a man, make yourself GOD.
10:34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your Law, "I said, You are gods"?
PSALMS 82:6
82:6 I have said, You are gods; and you are children of the most High.
JOHN 10:35-38
10:35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of GOD came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
10:36 Say you of him, whom the Father has sanctified, and sent into the World, You blaspheme; because I said, I am the Son of GOD?
10:37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
10:38 But if I do, though you believe not me, believe the works: that you may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.
JOHN 15:22-25
15:22 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they [the individuals he spoke to] would not have had sin [for not believing in him]. But now they have no cloak for their sin.
15:23 He that hates me, hates my Father also.
15:24 If I had not done among them the works which no other man did, they would not have had sin [for not believing in him]: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.
15:25 But this comes to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.
No "Jew" or "Gentile" from any time or place in human history will suffer "eternally", or even during their brief individualized, private "Last Judgment" for not "believing in Jesus" unless they personally witnessed his miracles during his brief human ministry and hated him, and what they thought they heard him say.
MATTHEW 12:30-32
12:30 He that is not with me [knowingly] is against me; and he that gathers not with me scatters abroad.
12:31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit [the Mind and will of GOD] shall not be forgiven unto men.
12:32 And whosoever speaks a word against the Son of Man [YAHshua], it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaks against the Holy Spirit [GOD's Mind], it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this World, neither in the World to come [if it is not repented of—but if it is, during one's final judgment, GOD would then have the choice of forgiving it].
MARK 3:28-29
3:28 Truly I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies with whatsoever they shall blaspheme:
3:29 But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness [if he never repents], but is in danger of eternal damnation [permanent annihilation—though he can avoid it by repenting during his final judgment].
John knew he wasn't Elijah "reincarnated" or returned to physical existence. And YAHshua also knew that John, the baptist was not the original Elijah. But YAHshua was indicating that those who perform the mission of Elijah, while being empowered to validate their ministry during the End-Time with miracles, will be considered virtually equal to Elijah, as was Elisha—and perhaps even greater depending on how much they accomplish during the End-Time.
JOHN 1:19-23
1:19 And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who are you?
1:20 And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.
1:21 And they asked him, What then? Are you Elijah? And he says, I am not. Are you "that prophet"? And he answered, No.
1:22 Then said they unto him, Who are you? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What say you of yourself?
1:23 He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Isaiah.
MATTHEW 17:8-12
17:8 And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.
17:9 And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of Man be risen again from the dead.
17:10 And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elijah must first come [though it will actually be a "second coming"]?
17:11 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elijah truly shall first come, and restore all things [or almost everything].
17:12 But I say unto you, That "Elijah" has come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of Man suffer of them.
LUKE 9:27-31
9:27 But I tell you truthfully, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Kingdom of GOD [meaning the chief representatives of the Government of GOD which will be primarily concerned with education rather than rule-making].
9:28 And it came to pass about eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray.
9:29 And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and flashing.
9:30 And, behold, there talked with him, two men, which were Moses and Elijah [chief representatives of "the Law" and "the Prophets"—or the educational aspects of those categories of traditional Hebrew scripture]:
9:31 Who appeared in glory, and spoke of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem.
This once again supports the assertion that the spirits of all saints who have died physically, or who never actually died, can be temporarily "awakened" from the usual "sleep" state of their spirits in Heaven, so they can be consciously updated on what they will need to know during the progress of human history leading to the End-Time, at which time many of the greatest teachers, such as the prophets and the apostles will be returned to a continuation of their former life, enabling them to finish their missions from GOD].
LUKE 9:32-36
9:32 But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: and when they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.
9:33 And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah: not knowing what he said [because the vision was so realistic, Peter thought they would be in need of shelter].
9:34 While he thus spoke, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.
9:35 And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.
9:36 And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it close, and told no man in those days any of those things which they had seen.
YAHshua also knew exactly who he was, and how he was representative of GOD, the Father, the Ultimate Judge of all things.
JOHN 14:9
14:9 Jesus says unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet have you not known me, Philip? He that has seen me has seen the Father [in the form and image of a singular personality—not meaning that Jesus was his own Father]; and how say you then, Show us the Father?
COLOSSIANS 1:12-19
1:12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which has made us suitable to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light;
1:13 Who has delivered us from the power of darkness, and has translated us into the Kingdom of his dear Son:
1:14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins;
1:15 Who is the image of the invisible GOD, the Firstborn of every creature;
1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in Heaven, and that are in Earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
1:17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
1:18 And he is the Head of the Body, the Church; who is the Beginning, the Firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the pre-eminence.
1:19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fullness dwell;
JOHN 14:10-12
14:10 Believe you not that I am in the Father [in the Father's Holy Spirit, or mind], and the Father [the Father's Holy Spirit is] in me [in YAHshua's spirit, or mind]? The words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself; but the Father that dwells in me, he does the works.
14:11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.
14:12 Truly, truly, I say unto you [among the specifically chosen disciples], He that believes on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
The final time of "preparing a people" for the Kingdom of GOD has begun. Those who recognize it and participate in expanding its outreach around the World will be those who will participate in the fulfillment of many End-Time prophecies.
MATTHEW 24:14
24:14 And this Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the World for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the End[-Time] come.
MARK 13:10
13:10 And the Gospel must first be published among all nations.
DANIEL 11:33
11:33 And they that understand among the people shall instruct many. . .
DANIEL 12:4
12:4 But you, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the End [the End-Time]. Many shall run "to and fro" [to and from those revealing the significance of the "word of the LORD"—before the time of the End] and [prophetic] knowledge shall be increased.
Many will be enabled to "understand" the details of the End-time before the time of the End, as it becomes freely available around the World for several years. And later, "they that understand" will be empowered to "instruct many" of those who will be literally "running to and fro" seeking genuine prophetic knowledge during the years of the "famine of the word".
But those enabled to understand new End-Time revelations will not have that knowledge and understanding "poured" into empty minds—especially from preachers with empty theologies (and empty pews) who continue to have nothing to contribute to the advancement of the spiritual "knowledge (that) shall be increased".
Those who will become most useful, and valuable to GOD during the End-Time, will not be those able to ignore virtually all Messianic prophecy throughout the scriptures because they hope to be "secretly raptured off" to an eternal vacation in Heaven while the Earth "goes to Hell" beneath them.
MALACHI 3:16-17
3:16 Then they that feared the Lord spoke often one to another; and the Lord hearkened, and heard it, and a Book of Remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon his name.
3:17 And they shall be mine, says the Lord of Hosts, in that Day when I make up my Jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spares his own son that serves him.
Those who will become most useful will be those who are already beginning to know what to expect from personal study of the "ages old" prophecies that are finally beginning to be fulfilled.
And they will have proven, over a course of many years, that they are worthy of being included among those who will share in the fulfillment of one of the most beautiful prophetic promises in the Bible.
DANIEL 12:3
And they that are wise shall shine as the brightness of the day sky; and they that turn many to righteousness, as the stars — for ever and ever.
