SPIRITUAL CRITICAL THINKING

The ability to think critically spiritually is only in people who have Yahwehs Holy Spirit in them.

You no longer examine anything using a carnal mind because this is death.  Romans 8:6,7,8,9,10,11 

What carnal people think is wonderful, and highly esteem is in reality an abomination to Yahweh. Luke 16:15   There are ways that seem right to carnal people but they are the ways of death.  Proverbs 14:12   Carnal people are incapable of directing their own lives.  Jeremiah 10:23   Carnal man is totally and completely helpless without Yahweh.  Ephesians 2:12 

Yahwehs spirit within Christians is the power to see the truth of things existing in this current evil world.  Hebrews 5:14   As Christians we must not compromise in any way with the failure of carnal minded ideas.  This describes the Laodiceans who were neither cold or hot, having one foot in the church but the other in the world, whose punishment is to suffer in the fire as a martyr.

Here is a scripture that should speak volumes to any Christian.  Isaiah 3:12 KJV  Those called leaders do this…. Job 30:12 KJV  Isaiah 9:16  

As an example, read and study the constitution of the United States along with the Federalist papers  and compare what you see in them with the current government and how it operates.  The U.S. was to be a representative republic, do you understand what that is, but over the years the people have abdicated their power to the elected representatives that they now call their leaders.  Is this government of, by and for the people?  Even if the U.S. lived up to its own foundational principles it would still be antichrist.  Satan, by the will of Yahweh, is the god of this world, 2 Corinthians 4:4  and Satan is the inspiration of the carnal mind that is in spiritual warfare with the spiritual mind.  2 Corinthians 10:4   The demonic spirits under Satans command rule all nations and influence the leaders and the people.

1 John 5:19

Jesus, the son of the most high Yahweh, was manifested to someday destroy all the works of Satan and establish his GOD and FATHERS kingdom on the Earth.  Acts 26:15,16,17,18  1 John 3:8  A Christian must choose which side to be on,  Yahweh’s or Satans .  Who do you want to lead you, who should you follow ?  Luke 9:62

The table of Yahweh should have nothing to do with the table of demons.  1 Corinthians 10:21  To come out and be separate means totally and completely, not part of the way.  2 Corinthians 6:17   We cannot be part time Christians because it is a full time job.  We are not to be of this world anymore than Jesus was.  John 17:16  Use your Yahweh given ability to spiritually think critically to come to realize the true meaning, extent and purpose of your calling and election. 2 Peter 1:10

AN APOLITICAL VIEW OF THE WORLD

 

I am apolitical.  I have never in my life voted or belonged to any political party or organization.  I have been very observant of world politics and through the eyes of someone with no axe to grind, no special agenda.  I am sort of like an alien from another planet visiting Earth.  This enables me to be completely unbiased in my opinions about what is happening in the world today.  I am also an historian having studied the histories of nations, their rise and fall and the causes of each.  Most nations today are under some type of dictatorship masquerading as free nations along with other nations that do so openly.  Today the key nation that stood in the way of dictatorial nations is the United States but over the years since the Second World War this has drastically changed.  The principal players involved in this change were and are the Clintons, George W. Bush, Barack Obama and Joseph Biden.  Under these presidents the U.S. has been experiencing a steady decline by the introduction of ideas and concepts that are in direct violation of the nation’s constitution.  The ideals that made the U.S. the premier nation have been attacked and replaced with ideas of a stealth nature designed to introduce division among the population in race, economics, religion, politics and education.  The campaign theme of the Biden administration reveals the plan of destroying the U.S. ;  build back better ,  as you must first tear down what is to build what is to come.  There are other buzz sayings like;  it takes a village to raise a child or unity through diversity.  Anyone with eyes to see and a brain to process information should be aware  that the U.S. and other nations have adopted ideas that will only lead to a one world government controlled by the antichrist.  It is actually the antichrist forces today that will produce horrific world conditions that will cause the people to cry out for a savior who will be the antichrist.  This great evil today is causing all the chaos so as to create an atmosphere of helplessness which causes the people to accept antichrist rulership .   The U.S. is key to this process because of the stubbornness of its population to submit to the changes introduced by the federal government.  This has caused the Biden administration to accelerate efforts to bring down the U.S. with all the disastrous executive decisions and policies enacted.  The destruction of the U.S. will happen in order to assure the rise of the antichrist.  A false tribulation will occur to finally end the U.S. and other nations that will cause tremendous death and destruction culminating in the people accepting antichrist rule.  After the false tribulation there will be a false millennium for three and a half years.  The real tribulation begins after the false millennium lasting until the return of Christ.  Satan is behind all the evil of this world and his plan has been working out for many years and now in our time is nearly complete.  The answer to the world’s problems is not politics as politics is the problem.  Politics produces the illusion of freedom and prosperity until perversion of all sorts begins to set in and this has been the cause of the fall of all nations since the beginning.  

WHAT WE MAY SOON SEE

If you have been paying attention to world events you should know that the world is in very deep trouble.  According to the Geneva Academy there are about 110 wars happening now in the Middle East, Latin American , North Africa, Europe and Asia.  Most of these wars you have never heard about.  Some of these wars have began recently while others have been ongoing for over 50 years.

Of all these wars those we need to be concerned about are the Middle Eastern and Europe.  The war Israel is fighting with Iran backed Hamas and Hezbollah will no doubt escalate into a full blown regional war.  The Russian / Ukraine war has the possibility of going nuclear as does the Middle East war.  Nations around the globe have debased their currencies to a level of worthlessness.  Crime is rampant in many countries.  Morals have collapsed and perversions have gained acceptance.  The news media with very few exceptions either lies or hides the truth from the public.  Politicians are liars and scoundrels seeking power and wealth.  What is good is called evil and what is evil is called good.

All of this is leading to a false tribulation that will seem to be the real tribulation in the eyes of the uninformed.  The antichrist will save the day and produce a false millennium and the people will worship him.  If you expect to be raptured before all this you are mistaken and will be greatly disappointed.  The churches of this world are as the governments, under Satanic control.  Yahweh, the only true GOD wills it to be this way.  Yahweh did not make things this way but allows Satan to rule the Earth until HE sends Christ back.  The entire reason why the world is in this mess is because Yahweh has not been in control due to Adam abdicating his position as god of this world to Satan when he knowingly obeyed Satan and disobeyed Yahweh.  The second Adam loved and obeyed his GOD and FATHER therefore Jesus Christ the son of Yahweh will return and destroy all the works of Satan and set up the kingdom of Yahweh here on Earth.  The events in the world today are only the beginning of sorrows not the great tribulation.  One must ask; where is the third temple, the sacrifices, the ten nations and the antichrist ?  These are all yet future and todays events are only precursors that will lead up to the actual end time.  My advice to all who read this article is,  Mark 13:35,36,37   Luke 21:36   Do not involve yourself in any worldly thing, do not waste your time in meaningless things,  obey the message of the gospel of faith, grace, repentance and above all Yahwehs love.  While I do not know when all things will be fulfilled I do believe that we are not in darkness so as to not see the day approaching.  WATCH.

GENESIS - ANOTHER LOOK

 

Genesis 1:1  is a general statement that Yahweh created the heavens and the Earth.  Genesis 1:2  the word “was” is the Strongs article H1961 meaning to become or come to pass.  The word “form” in Strongs H8414 meaning to lie waste or a worthless thing, confusion, empty place.  The word “void” in Strongs H922 meaning empty or a ruin.  So then when we apply the Hebrew to Genesis 1:2 it would be like this; “and the Earth became or came to pass a waste or worthless thing , confusion an empty place and darkness, misery, destruction and death upon the face of an abyss.  This verse is not the account of the original creation of the Earth but, a record of severe damage caused to the Earth.  The Earth was already there but nearly destroyed.  I think this destruction was caused by the rebellion of Satan and the following verses show Yahweh repairing the damage and preparing Earth for humans.  Before this destruction the angels inhabited Earth and Earth was vastly different. Earth had huge creatures and vegetation that scientists dig up today and study. Up until the fourth day of this creation week there was no sun, no time and nothing else, just the Earth.  The glory of Yahweh was Earths light and time itself did not exist. On the fourth day Yahweh created time and the rest of the physical universe. Genesis 1:14-19 The separation of light from darkness in Genesis 1:3,4,5  was Yahweh separating HIS kingdom from that of Satans. I think that the reason Satan rebelled was that he discovered Yahwehs plan to make a man who would be HIS son and inherit all that Yahweh created.  Satans pride and vanity flared because he thought that he should be the heir and led a rebellion with a third of the angels against Yahweh but was cast down.  Satan now wants to destroy Yahwehs heir and humanity that has the potential to share in Christs inheritance.  This will not happen because the son of Yahweh will destroy the works of Satan.  1 John 3:8 .  The Earth is the oldest object in all the universe.  Humans were created on the sixth day, the second day after time began on the fourth day.  If there is other intelligent life in the universe they would be no older than humans and no further advanced technologically.  The weekly sabbath is based on time and time began on the fourth day, so there were only three days that passed until Yahweh stopped working.  If a week is seven days “in time”then the sabbath was on a Wednesday; the fourth day like a Sunday was the beginning of time and three days later is a Wednesday.  There is no connection between the seventh day of creation to the seventh day of the week “in time”. Yahweh gave Israel a day in time to memorialize the creation that was not the actual day just as the physical rest is unrelated to the spiritual rest.  Stopping physical work has no bearing on salvation it is working in the law that cannot bring salvation but if you stop working in the law to let the spirit of Yahweh work in you by HIS agape then this is salvation. Romans 11:6 , Romans 4:4,5  The law was only a shadow of the good things to come in Christ.

Is Michael Jesus ?

 

The angel Michael is thought by Jehovahs Witnesses to be Jesus.

Is this biblically true ? 

Hebrews 1:4-14  declares that Yahweh never said to any angel, “You are my son, today I have begotten you.”  “Let all the angels of Yahweh, (including Michael) , worship Jesus.  To which, or any angel, did Yahweh ever say, “Sit at my right hand.”  Angels are ministering spirits to those who will inherit salvation.  When Yahweh created the angels it was an obvious fact that they had the potential to sin and a third of them did.  The angels that remained faithful to Yahweh were then sealed in righteousness rendering them totally unable to sin.  Jesus was created by Yahweh already in this sealed righteous state.  John 6:27  Because Jesus was from his mothers womb sealed in righteousness he was superior to all other beings angelic or human. This is why Yahweh counted the life of HIS son so precious and valuable that the sacrifice of Jesus would be sufficient for the world. This is what made Jesus the image of the invisible Yahweh. The church in Revelation 7:4 will be sealed, weather alive or dead, with this same seal.  Michael was not the only chief prince as Daniel records, Daniel 10:13 .  1 Thessalonians 4:16 and Daniel 12:1 are companion verses as both mention the arch angel involved in the events of the return of Jesus.  The voice of the arch angel may well be Michael who was known to be a warrior prince.  This angel returns with Jesus, he is not Jesus.  Michael could not rebuke Satan on his own, Jude 1:9 , but Jesus could, Matthew 4:10,11 .  Michaels name means “who is like Yahweh”, this is a question not an identification, consider Isaiah 46:9 . Isaiah makes this comment long before the birth of Jesus, there was NONE  like Yahweh.  When Jesus was born he was the image of the invisible Yahweh, Colossians 1:15 . Consider Job 4:17,18,19  .  Hebrews 2:5 angels have no inheritance in the kingdom of Yahweh, yet Jesus is the heir of all Yahweh created, and the church elect joint heirs with Jesus.  Michael is not Jesus.

 

It seems that we have established the fact of deception in the worlds churches.  This was prophesied by the prophets, Jesus and the Apostles.  When looking at the total number of all the members of all the churches it is about 2.2 billion people.  Yahweh has over the centuries called many people to come out of these churches but many did not answer the call.  The people who did answer came out and separated themselves from the lies, confusion and deception.

These people became part of the elect, that group called in this current age before the great tribulation.  The very first of these elect was Able and the last is unknown.  When the last of this group of elect is called and chosen they will all be sealed in their human spirits with the mark of Yahweh weather dead or alive. They are the 12 tribes of spiritual Israel, the combination of saints before and after Jesus as Romans 11 and Hebrews 11 show.  This will be the first harvest, the barley harvest, and they are symbolized by the two loaves of bread in Leviticus 23:17 .  Jesus gave a parable in Matthew 13:33 that explains the three groups that in their assigned time will be offered salvation.  The first group is the 144,000, the second group is during the millennium and the last group in the second resurrection.  These are the three measures of meal, the leaven symbolizes Yahwehs Holy Spirit that just as physical leaven overtime spreads through the three measures Yahwehs spirit spreads through people.  It should not be taken as an insult or viewed as elitism to be in the 144,000 because it is Yahwehs business alone as to what group a person will be in.  If a person is a new convert they need to realize that they must make a clean and complete break from the world and its ways.  This will require a certain amount of time, as each person is different, to understand the totality of what not being of this world truly means.  The Apostle John brings this out plainly, 1 John 5:19 , 1 John 4:6  .  Sometimes it is difficult to determine what is of the world from what is of Yahweh, we must sharpen our spiritual senses to determine good from evil, Hebrews 5:14 .  All the elect have baggage from the world that overtime needs to be discarded.  This requires constant use and training in the spirit of Yahweh.  Along the way we may try to make excuses to continue in the worlds ways until we finally realize that it is futility and unGodly.  The separation from this world must be complete not partial.  I am not writing about obvious things, but the things that are not obvious and only become known by growing in grace and knowledge.  We do not all travel the narrow road in one big group, but as a strung out line due to the time we were chosen and how long we have traveled that narrow road. We are all at different stages of growth but we all have the same destination.  To whom much is given, Luke 12:48 much more will be required.  We are Yahwehs servants, and if in ignorance do wrong will be corrected by a loving Father for our own good.  Hebrews 12:9  .  This is where the strong can help the weak or the babe in Christ.  How long has it been since your eyes of understanding were opened ?  If not long then you are a babe, but if many years there should be much growth unless you have buried you talent.

We are here to follow the will of Yahweh as demonstrated to us by Jesus.

SPIRITUAL WISDOM

 SPIRITUAL WISDOM

 

Matthew 5:40 , If someone will sue you for your coat let him have your cloke also. 

How far do we go with this, should we strip naked ?  Going the extra mile is to do more than just the basics or not being only a hearer but a doer.  Paul said, as much as it depends on you live in peace with all men. You cannot control what men may do that goes far beyond what you are obligated to do. 

Matthew 5:39 , do not resist evil people. If someone slaps your right cheek offer the left as well.

Basically we are to overcome evil with good, so did Jesus tell us to allow evil people to do anything to us they want ?  There is a scripture that says God will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able to bear but with that temptation provide a means of escape. 

Matthew 5:11-12  , blessed are you when men revile and persecute you, say all manner of evil against you falsely for my sake.  Rejoice, and be very glad, for great is your reward, for they also persecuted the prophets before you.  

Nothing is said here about physical violence.

Should we literally pluck out our eye or cut off our hand ?  If so, we all would be missing eyes and hands.   Don’t we know that it is our human spirit that sins not our body, then how would mutilating our bodies stop sin?  Jesus even brings this out when he spoke about adultery and murder, that sin is in our spirits.  If Jesus literally means we should mutilate ourselves why not just cut our heads off because dead men can’t sin.  Romans 6:7 Our spirit is to control our body not our body our spirit. Romans 6:12-14 , Paul gives a more clear understanding of what Jesus said.  Yield your body to God , as those who are alive from the dead, as an instrument of righteousness.   We are to be living as though we were in the kingdom now.   Spiritual wisdom must be applied to everything Jesus said, looking at his words spiritually not carnally.  What was sin 5,000 years ago is still sin today, God does not change the rules for some while enforcing them on others.  Solomon said there is a time for everything under the sun, we just need to know those times.  David was a man after Gods own heart yet David killed, not murdered, but when David did murder Uriah this greatly displeased God.  Even physical violence may sometimes be required in an act of love to defend others from evil men.  Just to stand by and do nothing would not show love.  1 John 3:17 , James 2:16 ,  Psalm 82:3,4 Proverbs 24:11 Moses, Sampson and Abraham all killed but never murdered anyone. It boils down to what the thought and intent of your human spirit is when you act or speak.  God knows your thoughts and motives and if driven by HIS love for others to protect and defend them against evil then this is good in Gods eyes.
