There are many terms and concepts from the Scriptures which have been twisted by humankind to mean something else from what these terms and concepts meant in when communicated by the Scriptures. Most of these terms are in common usage in the social order of humankind but carrying very different meanings from their meaning and usage in the Christian Holy Scriptures.
No doubt humankind change definitions of things all the time not because the concepts of those things change. But often than not, human social order definitions of things change because of lack of clarity in their perception andor understanding of those things, then the usage of this new erroneous understanding gain common usage through popular use by especially the youth or the agenda driven social engineering by the shaker, shifters, movers, shapers and makers of the human social order.
Of course there terms where these don't matter at all but there also are many that are about truths or facts which get turned and twisted into things that are not true or factual.
This is just one aspect of the degeneration (aka corruption) of the human social order. The most iconic of this corruption is the term ‘justice’ which in today usage by humankind is no longer the concept of the actual term.
In today usage the term ‘justice’ is more about the political and social agenda (aka political correctness) and the legislated laws of the nations, than it is about giving justice to the the victims of abusive and predatory/parasitic harm (i.e. victims of evil doers).
Here this post (published incomplete and will be completed over several months whenever this author is able to manage) discuss some of the more common ones.

Apocalypse and Armageddon
Entry added 2020 03 07
The Book of Revelation or Apocalypse is about revelation (to reveal or uncover) and is not about the End of the World. The term Apocalypse is actually from the Greek word ἀποκάλυψις [G602] from the Original Texts which carried the meaning of to uncover or reveal those which were covered and hidden.
Armageddon is another term from the Book of Apocalypse or Revelation twisted to mean the End of the World. The term Ἁρμαγεδών [G717] is a Greek transliteration of the original Hebrew texts הַר [H2022] meaning hill or mount, and מְגִדּוֹן [H4023] the name of a city in the Promised Land during the time of the ancient Kingdom of Israel, carrying the meaning of a place of assembly.
In the Scripture the term Armageddon refers to a place in the Promised Land where the armies of the King(s) of the North (Revelation 13:1 – 9 12:17; Daniel 11:19 – 40) and the King of the East (Revelation 16:12, 14) will gather to battle against the returning LORD JESUS (Revelation 16:13 – 16).
Literally then Armageddon refers to the place that will become the battlefield between the armies of the beastly (i.e. pertaining to beastlike behaviors) nations against the returning KING of kings and LORD of Lords, JESUS CHRIST.

The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants—things which must shortly take place. And He sent and signified it by His angel to His servant John
Revelation 1:1
Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it; for the time is near.
Revelation 1:3
Also, no the Book of Revelation (or Apocalypse) is not about the end of the world literally or otherwise (though it includes as part of its prophecies the events leading into, through and until, the End of the World). Further it also includes very concise prophecies of events after the End of the Age/World. The End of the Age from the context in the Scriptures are or will be, actually two events not one, the second End of the Age/World separated from the first, which will happen soon, separated by a thousand years. The second End of the Age will lead to The (Great) Judgment and afterwards.
It is (especially crucial for today the very last days of the End of the Age) revelation from GOD through the LORD JESUS sent via HIS Angel (i.e. HIS Spirit Composed messenger, the Angel Gabriel) to the Apostle John about things which will begin happening from that time the revelations were given to the Apostle John onward through the centuries (or rather millennia) to today (the time and the generation the End of the World will come upon) and forward until all things are brought under GOD (1 Corinthians 15:28) after the White Throne or Great Judgment (Revelation 20:11).
In a nutshell, the Book of Revelation is about prophecy beginning from the time the prophecies were given to the Apostle John until after the Great Judgment (aka 'Judgment Day') until the Heavens and earth passed away replaced by a new Heaven and Earth, covering a total period of over three thousand years and more, future to the time the Apostle John received and recorded all these prophetic revelations that were given to him while he was exile in the Island of Patmos.
Today both the terms Apocalypse and Armageddon has been twisted to mean the end of the world or the destruction of the world (i.e. life on earth or human life) or some catastrophically disastrous or cataclysmic events or situations which they are not about.

These words have all totally lost their actual meanings to mean something else. And no, I am not taking about semantics, what words mean to people. I am talking about reality concepts that words should conveyed but through misuse or incorrect use (aka popular usage) these words and terms no longer carried their original concepts but the numerous misused or incorrect usage meanings instead.
Today when most to nearly all people say that "they believe this and that" they don't mean that they actually believe anything but that is just "how they feel about this and that". It is not about the certainty of their conviction but about their chosen or preferred emotional connection to things, how they related emotionally to the issue or matter, or how they want and lusted for something to be.

Calling, Called And To Be Called

Calling, Called And To Be Called
Entry date: 2021 08 07
The term calling is one of the most widely used term by humankind which had its origins in the Holy Christian Scripture's usage. In general usage it refers to anything that one does for which one has particular affinity andor talent (i.e. skill set andor intuitive ability) whether intrinsic or acquired.
□ updating (in process of being written)
Conversion, to be converted
Entry date: 2020 07 15
This widely used term in the social order of humankind applicable to a change in anything, from a change to adopt a different system of values, beliefs, social andor political affiliation or values, religion (as in a belief andor worship of the paranormal or supernatural objects, concepts or entities), way of thinking andor philosophy, all the way to preferences in entertainment, social activities, food and drinks, etc..
In short any change of heart and mind (i.e. feeling and thinking towards or on) over anything. More often than not the term is applied in the context of a total andor drastic change, though the less extreme usage of the term has also gained common usage today.
This change (as of being converted or to convert to) is applied either to oneself (of one being converted by one's own experiences andor encounters, or through the effort of others) or to that of convincing others (i.e. converting others).
Needless to say, the usage of the term as a translation of the original texts of the Scriptures, does not accurately carry the intended meaning concept. The used of the English words 'convert' and 'converted' as a translation for the term of the original texts is more an interpretation than it is a translation, even as the term of the original texts can and do carry the meaning of change but the context of the change is that of a turning or a returning through repentance towards GOD corresponding with a commitment to GOD in baptism.
So even as the term 'converted' can be used to signify this turning it does not conveyed the correct attitude, steadfastness and focus of (i.e. required by) this turning. However to say that you can (as is able to) convert anyone to the Christian faith and worship (i.e. Christianity) is a fallacy of such magnitude that it is explicitly blasphemous (see entry on Call and calling).
So no, the term of the original texts of the Holy Christian Scriptures is not about a converting, a conversion or being converted, but that of a turning or a returning to GOD in repentance towards a unwavering commitment in baptism to the Everlasting Covenant mediated by LORD JESUS CHRIST.

If you had your identity (i.e. name) stolen and everyone recognized or acknowledge the identity thief (who tried to had you killed when they took your identity) as the real you (i.e. your name and identity) and believe that you are the imposter, then you will know that basically has been what happened with and to Christian and Christianity.
The identity thief adopting and pushing a popular profile for your name (identity) that basically redefined who you are so as to make use of your name to identify them (as you, your name/identity) so that they and the image profile and attribute they push which is actually theirs become accepted as your defining attributes and identity (i.e. name), which of course is not yours. So the redefined identity because of their popular public profile which is not you (how you are like) but them how they are like (i.e. behave and conduct themselves) become associated with your name identity.
Effectively then no one will recognize or believe that you (as the one owning that name/identity) but instead they and their identifying attributes are your identity/name because of the popularized view and perception of you (i.e. your name and identity) which is not you but them.

The concept of horns in imageries of literatures (both fictions and non fictions) and in movies are very often used to portray Satan, the Devil, Lucifer (a term introduced to the Scriptures by Christmas religions translators) as well as also demons and other association with evil.

One of the most recent of this (proclaimed in a publication of the Church) was in circa. 2007 and 2008 C.E. when the Church of GOD in Laodicea (second Administration) declared that the love of GOD is unconditional. But this, of the Elect and even Messengers to the Church of GOD, totally buying into the evil and blasphemous doctrines of the so called Abrahamic religions belongs to a multiparts or multi posts discussion proper so will not be discussed further here.
Here let it be clear that not all sins lead to eternal death (aka eternal perdition) only those that blaspheme the HOLY SPIRIT and those involving willfully (i.e. refusing to repent on being corrected by GOD through HIS servants, from) breaking the Everlasting New Covenant which includes hardening one's heart at GOD's correction sent through HIS servants the Prophets.

666 And The Mark Of The Beast
Why Is The Mark Of Beast 666?
Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one!
What Are The Things To Know About The Mark Of The Beast
The concept of the term covenant is quite a simple one for which there can be not confusion. But would you not know it when it comes to the usage of the term in the Christian Holy Scriptures it has been proclaimed and taught to be anything other than what the usage in the Scriptures meant.
Simple put, covenants in today's English language is just legally binding contracts. And that is all that they are whether they were made between a person or a group of people (i.e. families, tribes, clans, nations, empires) with another person or group of people. These contracts carry absolute commitments to some deliverables be they goods, services andor manner of conduct that all parties must perform the failure of anyall which carry penalties to be extracted which may include the voiding or termination of the contracts whether involving or requiring voiding/termination penalties for non performances or not.
And it is the same when it is with GOD except that unless you are completely, absolutely stark raving insane you will absolutely on pains of billion death through a trillion years of horrendous salvage tortures, you would want to make sure you do not fail to deliver on every single one of the things in terms of the Covenant you have committed yourself to with GOD.
So what does this say of the ancient Israelite (all twelve tribes) and the Elect of the New Covenant especially of today? They must all be completely, absolutely stark raving insanely totally bonkers due to their uncontrolled all consuming lusts, that they all not only did not take seriously all that they have committed to in entering into a Covenant with GOD, they actually totally disregarded their legally binding obligations to the performance requirements spelt out in these Covenants, as well as literally greedily broke (i.e. failed to and did not honor to perform and deliver on) all in the most basic as well as the totality aka whole contracted requirement spelt out, that they had committed to.
If you (the reader) is a reader or student (whether sincere or insincere) of the Christian Bible, you would (or should anyway) have noted that it is divided into two (2) main sections, categories or eras, epoch or age. The first section or eras consisting of thirty nine (39) books from Genesis to Malachi and is defined or categorized as 'The Old so called Testament' and the second consisting of twenty (27) books from Matthew to Revelation and is called or categorized as 'The New so called Testament'.
And if you being a student of the Christian Bible (one who have sufficiently read and not one who has either never read or just nominally read said Bible), have been someone with still some semblance of effective (as opposed to a total lust seeded, fueled and driven) intelligence, you would have asked this simple and obvious question. 'Why Old and New so called Testament and not Old and New Covenant?'
And if you have been this student of the Christian Bible who have sufficiently (and never mind if you are one who has either never actually or just nominally) read said Bible, and being one is still sufficient effectively intelligent and have noted and asked the above said simple question, then you (if you are actually still sane and not totally incomprehensibly insane) you would (or should anyway) have realized and understood the reasons why the Christian Bible is divided into two section called, defined and categorized as the Old and New Testament and not the Old and New Covenant.
So then the questions you (the reader, whoever you are who is reading this) are:
1. Have you ever noted and asked the simple question 'Why is the Bible's two main section called the Old and New Testament and not the Old and New Covenant?' If not, why not?
2. If yes, then have you then carefully considered to then realized and understood the reasons? If not, why not?
3. If yes, then what do you think or believe or feel (take your pick which term best describe how you relate to the issue here) are the reasons the two main sections or eras of the Christian Bible have been called, defined and categorized as Testaments and not Covenants? And do you agree with the Bible two main sections being called, defined and categorized as Testaments instead of Covenants? If you agree then please stop wasting your time reading this work and go pursue after all that you lusted to believe in to the maximum of your situational opportunities, security immunity and power impunity.
But if you (the reader) agree mainly, mostly or nearly entirely (includes entirely) and not if you only agree nominally, somewhat or just here and there selectively selected, here then (below) are the reasons the two main sections or eras of the Bible are called Testaments and not Covenants. Here again, you don't have to believe these (reasons) if you lusted uncontrollably to not want to believe.
The number one reason why the proclaimed and acclaimed Superlatives of the Christmas religion (being agent servants of Satan the Devil) called, defined and categorized the two main sections of the Bible as Testaments instead of Covenants was (and is still) so that the Christian calling to repentance and the true faithful beliefs and worship of the ALMIGHTY CREATOR of all things, be not understood that it is a Covenant (i.e. a contracted or covenanted agreement with binding requirements, terms and conditions that must be without any variation andor changes, fully, totally and completely honored and performed), the Everlasting New Covenant of Passover made in the BLOOD and based and framed on the FLESH () of the LAMB of GOD who takes away the sins of the world.
What this means is that first and foremost the New Covenant Passover as exactly (in time, day, media and manner) instituted and ordained by JESUS CHRIST must be without any variation or changes be commemorated to signify and remember HIS death to pay for the penalty of mankind's sins that all will be redeemed to be given a second chance or opportunity to inherit the eternal life and immortality which was GOD (original and all along) purpose for mankind created in HIS image and likeness.
“Whatever I command you, be careful to observe it; you shall not add to it nor take away from it.
Deuteronomy 12:32
For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
Revelation 22:18 – 19
But that is not all, everything else that JESUS CHRIST (which include the entirety of Scripture of Truth as an entire whole and complete message towards the edification and education for all the creature personages to complete and made them perfect) taught and commanded as part of parcel to the New Covenant Passover, too must be without variation and changes (i.e. without adding to or taking away from, to modify or change in any manner, way, shape or form) be kept, obeyed and performed.

Death and the Immortal Soul
In the Scriptures, death is the cessation of life and living, it is when absolute consciousness and life ends. Also referred to symbolically as sleep (but only for the humankind not animals or Spirit composed Angels), but not as literal sleep (which science has classified as consisting of different states of quasi consciousness or dream state including a non conscious state equivalent to being in a coma or being comatose; and the rest in between these two main states), but as representative of the hope to be brought (i.e. resurrected) back to life symbolized in as a sleeping and unconscious person is woken up.
Most ancient cultures and religions (until at least sometime well into the last century, the twentieth century C.E.) have death as not literally death but of the so called soul being immortal continuing on to live and be alive either in hell, heaven or some other place (such in a rebirth as someone or something else either on earth or somewhere else). The Christmas religion (most to near all of them in the various denominations, sects and alternates, at various times, with most still do to this day) having death as separation from GOD because of a so called “Fall from Grace”, a term plagiarized from the writing of the ego supergorging Apostle Paul, then twisted with spins and inventions added in.
But sometime in the twentieth century C.E. (i.e. the century previous to the current century which is the twenty-first century C.E. from 2000 to 2099 C.E.) the doctrines of the true Church of GOD began to be adopted (i.e. plagiarized) then twisted (i.e. incorporated) into the doctrines of many newly invented (as spin offs, new takes or plagiarizers of the ancient) religions as well as by the so called Abrahamic religions, which now many (branch offs, break offs, alternates, variants and deviants) among these having death as several different things at different times and whatever else.

Devil (see also Satan the Devil) entry added: 2020 10 27
The term 'Devil' [diabolos G1228] is from the term of the New Covenant records of the original texts carrying the root meaning of 'a maligning or slandering accuser', one who accuses (Revelation 12:10) with the willful intent to malign (includes vilify, slander, calumniate and traduce). And that basically why he (Satan the Devil) is named that because that is his defining traits, and that is what he is as an expression of reality, a willful maligning slandering accuser (Revelation 12:10).
The term do not have an Old Covenant period equivalent and is used in New Covenant Scriptures as a reveling truth to refer to (as a definitive term and naming reference of) Satan the Devil (1 John 3:8; Revelation 12:9, 20:2) as the specific Spirit personage who is responsible for all the acts (i.e. all intents based expression) of evil in the creation.
It was also used (in the New Covenant Scriptures) contextually and analogically to refer to those exhibiting or expressing those definitive traits or attributes (John 6:70; 1 Timothy 3:11; 2 Timothy 3:3; Titus 2:3).
And no, the name 'Lucifer ' (Isaiah 14:2) is not the name of Satan the Devil at anyall time. This evil rendition of the term 'heylel [H1966]' (pronounced hei-leo or hey-leo and nothing close sounding to lucifer) of the original texts carrying the concept or meaning of a glorious brightness, into the term 'Luficer' is from and by the agents of Satan the Devil, the discipleship of the Great Harlot of the Christmas religion, and is an introduced term by the Christmas religion that has no meaning or basis in the Holy Christian Scriptures.
■
The Scriptures is very explicitly clear that evil is something undesirable that no one sane would want for themselves (includes their loved ones and those whom they care about) or would want as something happening to them and all that are theirs.
The Scripture usage of the term evil (and wickedness, as the intents based expression of evil) is of a general concept focusing on two contexts, those of acts (decision and intents based action from willful, willing all the way to recklessness, carelessness, negligence to inconsideration and disregard) and those of results; as causes and effects in reality.
This work has mostly (but not exclusively) focused on the intent of conducts in the intents seeded, fueled and driven expression of evil (aka wickedness) which is specifically that which the Gospel commands all who believe to repent of. A concise definition of this term in this context can be found in the post ‘Glossary of Terms’ of the blog ‘The Holy Bible Expounded’ under the entry, wickedness.

Near all the proclaimed and acclaimed Superlatives of the so called Abrahamic religions including even the Elect of GOD, all in deliberated stupidity has evil as not believing in, not obeying andor not doing the will of G-d/Gods/god-of-whatever-name. But essentially the term G-d/Gods/god-of-whatever-name does not actually refer to the GOD of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob but to themselves (includes those whom they worship in place and instead of GOD) specifically and generally to their religions and the G-d/Gods/god-of-whatever-names of their religions generally.
■ Updated: 2021 08 07Four Horsemen Of The Apocalypse
Entry added: 2020 02 26Is the account of the four horse riders of the Book of Apocalypse (i.e. Book of Revelation) of the Christian Holy Scriptures, about the end of the world. Are they signs that the world is going to end?
Well, apparently the whole of the Christian Bible reading (whether here a little there a little, selectively selected, or the whole bible little by little in a period spanning ten to ninety-nine years) world (and also all the rest who have read little or even none at all, about what has been written and proclaimed about these so called four horsemen of the Apocalypse) seems to think so.
This has been happening for centuries from since the time of Apostolic years (by the few who have read anything little or much of the Book of Revelation recorded by the Apostle John) and in the religion of a so called Christianity from that time, and especially around the middle of the nineteen century (1875 C.E.) and after.
But how many, including the Elect of GOD and all their various and deferring supreme proclaimed and acclaimed Superlatives in the various churches and none churches of gods (every single one of them their very own gods and the gods whom all those in the ranks or membership must unquestioningly obey or be kicked out) also believe the same, that these are the signs that the end is nigh, near or upon us.
The (first) Messenger of the Church of GOD in Philadelphia taught (correctly) that the account of the four horsemen of Revelation 6 verses 2 to 8 is just an account and an expansion (a more detail account) of Matthew 24 verses 5 to 7.
And that they are about events leading to the Tribulation (and implicitly, thus also signs that the end (of the world) is near. For the record, his supreme take and proclamation was that the end will only come after he (the supreme and greatest Apostle of GOD) had finished proclaiming the Gospel of the Kingdom of GOD to the nations, fulfilling Matthew 24 verse 14, which he also proclaimed as the commission of the (or rather his) Church of GOD in Philadelphia.

And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.
Matthew 11:12 (this verse was meant to called into attention the difference between the work of CHRIST which was to suffer and be killed as the 'LAMB of GOD who takes away the sins of the world', while those of imposters are 'the violent take it by force', whether they proclaimed themselves as 'the anointed Messiah or Christ' or that they proclaimed CHRIST so that they can proclaiming themselves as the proclaimed and acclaimed Superlatives of GOD, use force to rule the nations aka go conquering)
For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
Matthew 24:5 – 6
There are two main contexts to Matthew 24 verse 5. One is of those claiming they are the Christ. This of course started happening (Matthew 11:12) from the time of John the Baptist was conceived () and especially after he began his ministry some time before he was thirty ().
And this has continued on to this very day. People (both male and female, and also of whatever else sex or non sex aka LGBTQON acronym for lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transvestites, queers or questioning; plus my take — why be so confining, others meaning gender fluid in one second preferring to have sex with a male then the next second with a female or whatnot; those whose sexual orientations is towards animals, plants (such as a cucumber or zucchini), sex robots, etc.; and none, those with no particularly preferences aka will have sex with all and sundry, anything and everything, living, non living, alive or death) have been going around proclaiming themselves either as the Christ (i.e. the anointed Messiah of GOD) or even as the very person of JESUS CHRIST reborn (or reincarnated).
The second context is of all those proclaiming that JESUS is the CHRIST so as to advance themselves that they are the proclaimed and acclaimed Superlatives of GOD and JESUS.
The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
John 10:10
This is such a very common modus operandi of scammers, charlatans, fraudsters and plagiarizing imposters such that only the massively stupid totally lust driven would be totally clueless, but yet billions had bought these lies bait, hook, line and sinker so totally that they been the complicit reselling purveyors to them, from the Apostolic age to this very day. Which is not to say that these (because they are not actually stupid but having average to above average IQ, but just chose in deliberated stupidity to be) reselling purveyors are not themselves also totally as predatory and parasitic scammers, charlatans, fraudsters and imposters as the original and originating scammers, charlatans, fraudsters and plagiarizing imposters.
They all fully, completely, totally and absolutely, know that they are (as lust seeded, fueled and driven behavior and communication are easily observed and noted by anyone other than those totally lust driven not because they are unable to perceive it but they willfully ignored it so they can express it) as also it is very explicitly evident through) all acting out of lust of all sorts (including and especially ego supergorging lust for glory and to be supreme so as to be worship evident in their implicit and often also explicit demand that all worship them evident in their requirement to be unquestioningly obeyed).
“Know therefore and understand,
That from the going forth of the command
To restore and build Jerusalem
Until Messiah the Prince,
There shall be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks;
The street shall be built again, and the wall,
Even in troublesome times.
Daniel 9:25
From the time when John the Baptist began his ministry, not long after his twentieth birthday, many arose claiming to be the 'Anointed (which is Christ from the Greek, Christos [G5547]) Prince' prophesied by the Prophet Daniel, and they tried to raise up a rebellion against the Roman overlord. All these came to naught.
But it did not stop there, the siege and destruction of the Temple of Jerusalem was preceded by a revolt against Rome by such similar charlatans claiming to be the Anointed Prince prophesied by the Prophet Daniel.
And from the days of John the Baptist until today, this have not ceased. Every now and then someone will arise claiming to be the Christ (i.e. the Anointed Messiah prophesied by the Prophet Daniel) or a reincarnation of JESUS CHRIST, or even as a proclaimed and acclaimed Superlative of GOD andor CHRIST either as the Prophet, that Prophet, an Apostle of GOD, and very often as the one is who is the greatest and the most supreme.
Three So Called Abrahamic Religions Prophesied By Zechariah
Then the angel who talked with me came out and said to me, “Lift your eyes now, and see what this is that goes forth.”
So I asked, “What is it?” And he said, “It is a basket that is going forth.”
He also said, “This is their resemblance throughout the earth: Here is a lead disc lifted up, and this is a woman sitting inside the basket”; then he said, “This is Wickedness!” And he thrust her down into the basket, and threw the lead cover over its mouth. Then I raised my eyes and looked, and there were two women, coming with the wind in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the basket between earth and heaven.
So I said to the angel who talked with me, “Where are they carrying the basket?”
And he said to me, “To build a house for it in the land of Shinar; when it is ready, the basket will be set there on its base.”
Zechariah 5:7 – 11 (please note: the 'land of Shinar [Shin`ar H8152]' xref with Revelation 19 verses 3 to 5, referred to ancient Babylon where Nimrod established the first world kingdom — see Genesis 10 verses 8 to 10 — with himself as Sovereign King, in rebellion against GOD, as the very first king of the the human social order)
Some over five hundred years (or two thousand five hundred years ago from today) before JESUS CHRIST began HIS ministry as the SON of man and 'The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world', the Prophet Zechariah prophesied of three wicked woman (i.e. three harlots, in Scripture symbolism the women symbolism are the obedient and faithful betrothed virgins/affiance bride or faithful wives; or the adulterous and unfaithful harlots aka whores) being supernaturally lifted up in a basket (from the Hebrew original text 'eyphah [H374]' which is either equivalent to a measure of 20 liters or 40 liters, depending on which interpretations we chose to accept as correct) and transported to the land of Shinar (a stretch of land in ancient Babylon) to build for them houses (from the Hebrew original text 'bayith [H1004]' meaning building, habitation, place or establishment to house; household, family, etc., which can be singular or plural as this is not denoted in the Hebrew original text but are connoted in or must be surmised from, the context).
The woman in the basket under a lead cover was (and is) Judaism which began to be nascent in the ancient (mostly or most of the time, a vassal) nation of Judah from the time the Jews were returned to rebuild the Temple, until the siege of Jerusalem (in 70 C.E.) and the destruction of the Temple, some forty years after the Old Covenant was officially ended when JESUS CHRIST, the LORD GOD of the Old Covenant died () as 'The Lamb of God.
With the Old Covenant (a Marriage Covenant from a Spiritual context) finally ended, the Jews ceased to be the Elect (i.e. the people of GOD by covenant, the Old Covenant (which they made at Mount Sinai with the LORD GOD mediated by the Prophet Moses) as the children of Jacob aka Israel.
Now the king of Assyria went throughout all the land, and went up to Samaria and besieged it for three years. In the ninth year of Hoshea, the king of Assyria took Samaria and carried Israel away to Assyria, and placed them in Halah and by the Habor, the River of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes.
2 Kings 17:5 – 6
And the Lord rejected all the descendants of Israel, afflicted them, and delivered them into the hand of plunderers, until He had cast them from His sight. For He tore Israel from the house of David, and they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king. Then Jeroboam drove Israel from following the Lord, and made them commit a great sin. For the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did; they did not depart from them, until the Lord removed Israel out of His sight, as He had said by all His servants the prophets. So Israel was carried away from their own land to Assyria, as it is to this day.
2 Kings 17:20 – 23
The other ten tribes (as the ancient nation of Israel after the kingdom was divided into Israel and separated from the nation of Judah) which was divorced (by the LORD GOD) and all carried away by Assyria (), had ceased to the Elect from that time.
Then I saw that for all the causes for which backsliding Israel had committed adultery, I had put her away and given her a certificate of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah did not fear, but went and played the harlot also.
Jeremiah 3:8
The Old Covenant of GOD with ancient nation of Israel ended when the LORD GOD divorce them and had them carried away by the Assyrians. For the Jews (i.e. the vassal nation of Judah) the Old Covenant ended when the LORD GOD died as a SON of man (Hebrews 9:16 – 17).
For where there is a testament, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. For a testament is in force after men are dead, since it has no power at all while the testator lives.
Hebrews 9:16 – 17 (please note: the term translated as 'testament' thirteen times, was also translated as 'covenant' twenty times, in the New Covenant records; the Greek language of those time, either do not have a specific term to denote one's dying will or the Apostle Paul did not know it andor he could not or would not separate the difference between a binding agreement between parties from that of one's expressed dying wish pertaining to the distribution of one's property and winding up of one's life's affairs).
When the Jews were returned in batches to the Jerusalem and the Promised Land as a vassal to Mede Persia (to set the stage for the coming of the MESSIAH PRINCE and MESSENGER of The New Covenant) they very soon began to return to their unfaithful, treacherous rebellious ways of not honoring and obey the tenets of their Covenant (i.e. the Old Covenant) made in Mount Sinai mediated by the Prophet Moses (Hebrews 8:6).
While they (mindful of their captivity and enslavement in Babylon for breaking the Ten Commandments and especially the Sabbath) they devised ways to focus on "not breaking" the Sabbath (while totally ignoring the need to fully keep the other nine commandments that commanded against lust and doing evil against GOD and neighbors) introducing (thus adding to the commandment) ridiculous requirements that made the keeping of a Sabbath a 'burdens hard to bear' (Matthew 23:4; Luke 11:46) taking away from the intents of Sabbath as a blessed day of rest free from the focus on the labors and cares of living.
As I have discussed elsewhere in this work, the Sabbath commandment is one of the easiest commandment to keep. All one has to do to honor and keep the Sabbath is to refrain from focusing mainly to solely on the labors and rigors of life (i.e. pursuing an income and focusing on the other cares of life. The purpose or intent of the Sabbath is first and foremost so we can have a break (from the pursuit of livelihood and maintenance of living) every Sabbath (one day out of a seven day weekly cycle) shifting our life's main (and oftentimes sole focus) to focus on honoring GOD'S command to rest so as not to lose the realization and knowledge that our wellbeing lies not in our own hands (Psalm 127:1; Isaiah 1:9; Romans 9:29; Mark 13:20) but in the benevolence and grace of our MAKER.
Getting back to Zechariah 5 verse 8, the lead cover is to signify (i.e. to convey the message) that this harlot religion would (be weighed down, as in contained or restricted and) not grow to become a major world pagan religion as opposed to the two women (i.e. two other harlot religions) with wings like the wings of a stork, the wings symbolizing by supernatural powers (or empowerment) , while the stork as a bird of carrion symbolizing that these are of a Satanic and demonic nature. For the symbolism of wings of eagle (i.e. bird of prey) please look for the entry in the post 'The Keys To Unlocking The Mystery Part 4' in the blog, 'The Holy Bible Expounded'.
The two women with wings like the wings of a stork (i.e. a bird of carrion) are the two other modern day worldwide so called Abrahamic religions with a combined total of some over three billions subscribing discipleship (aka followers) plus with (i.e. additionally) millions to billions more in all their offshoots, breakoffs or branch off (i.e. daughters) with varying twists and spins to the religious narrative. The wings of a stork convey the (symbolic) message that they rise and spread are powered (supernaturally or paranormally) by Satanic andor demonic forces.
For the meaning in symbolism of political/religious entities symbolized by women (in all the various types such as virgins, maidens, wives, harlots, etc.) in the Scriptures please read the post 'The Keys To Unlocking The Mystery Part 4' under the entries 'Harlot' in the blog 'The Holy Bible Expounded'.
For the discussion of the three so called Abrahamic religions and all their daughters (i.e. breakoffs, branch offs and offshoots) please read the post 'The So Called Abrahamic Religions — Know The Basic' in the blog, 'The Holy Bible Expounded'.
The Four Horsemen?
(see also entry: Four Horsemen Of The Apocalypse)
First and foremost, these four riding the horses were not men so no, there are no such thing as "the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" (or Four Horsemen of Revelation). Basically the four horse riders symbolized situations in events that are continually happening in the social order of humankind.
No doubt some to many will accuse this author of splitting hairs, horsemen or horse riders – same difference (i.e. what is the difference)? And that would be true except when reading the Scriptures, near everyone adds to it and takes away from the message to make it into their own supreme message (a more supreme message than, actually the most supreme message over, the message from GOD and LORD JESUS).
In this we have the iconic mother of all spin doctors, the ego supergorging Apostle Paul, twisting with spins added in to the Gospel of the Kingdom to make it his personal (Romans 2:16, 16:25; 2 Timothy 2:8) most supreme message of his gospel of grace (Acts 20:24; Galatians 1:6) of not under law, of an ethereal love that did away with the need to keep the Commandments of GOD (Galatians 5:14, 4; Romans 13:8, 6:14); of an ethereal grace (Romans 12:3, 15:15; James 4:6) that can be given (as in 'here have some more grace') to someone instead of Grace as an attitude of behavior of wanting good, for and towards, others.
So yes I am splitting hairs from a general context but from the point of the Scriptures, a horse rider symbolizes tides/waves of events and not men riding horses which would imply that it is something of GOD's doing (aka acts of God) which they are not, so no I am not splitting hairs but correctly dividing (2 Timothy 2:15) the Word (i.e. the message of the Scripture) of GOD and expounding the messages in explicit clarity so that all who twist and add in their own supreme spins to them will be exposed for the lust driven self expedient liars that they totally are.
The Book of Revelation (or Book of Apocalypse) as this work has mentioned (in some posts) is not about the end of the world or prophecies of the end of the world. In the entry, 'Apocalypse' of this post, I have also mentioned that the term 'Apocalypse' is just the Greek word or term for the word or term 'revelation', the uncovering or revealing of things.
The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants—things which must shortly take place. And He sent and signified it by His angel to His servant John, who bore witness to the word of God, and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, to all things that he saw.
Revelation 1:1 –2
They are about events which will very soon began happening after (Revelation 1:1) these revelations were given by JESUS CHRIST to the Apostle John as visions and recorded (mostly chronologically, but not exclusively) the main (milestones) prophecies of events (related to the Scriptures messages which is effective the full and complete message of the Gospel of the Kingdom of GOD).
Among the very first of these events 'which must shortly take place', was the account of the Church of GOD's journey from that time (i.e. the first era, the Ephesus era) which was initially headed by the Apostle Peter.
‘These things says He who holds the seven stars in His right hand, who walks in the midst of the seven golden lampstands: “I know your works, your labor, your patience, and that you cannot bear those who are evil. And you have tested those who say they are apostles and are not, and have found them liars; and you have persevered and have patience, and have labored for My name’s sake and have not become weary.
Revelation 2:1 – 3
After the Apostle Peter's death in martyrdom, the Apostle John (who was the time this apocalypses or revelations were given, exile 'on the island that is called Patmos') succeeded his as the Messenger to the Church of GOD in Ephesus. Revelation 2 verse 1 to 3 recorded this first and second administration as being faithful praising them for all they are faithfully (i.e. believing faith and obedient) carried out.
Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love. Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works, or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place—unless you repent. But this you have, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
Revelation 2:4 – 6
But gradually towards the end of that era, especially after the last of the Apostles, the Apostle John the second Messenger (the Apostle Peter was the first) to the Church of GOD in Ephesus, died and when JESUS did not return, a slow and ready eroding of the believing faith (i.e. doubt and doubting about the Gospel message) began to cause the Elect and the leadership (i.e. the subsequent Messenger to this first era) to lose their zeal.
Soon they stop keeping the Commandment of Love (i.e. verse 4 — 'left your first love') 'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind' (Matthew 22:37; Deuteronomy 6:5 Mark 12:30; Luke 10:27) and stopped preaching the Gospel message of the coming Kingdom of GOD (verse 5 — 'repent and do the first works, or else'). But sadly they did not repent and so this first era soon ended, ended by CHRIST.
It was also during that era towards the end (under the last Messenger), when many began bringing into the Church of GOD heresy and other evil practices such as the commemoration of days purported to be the birthday and the day of baptism (verse 6 — 'you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate') of JESUS CHRIST but were opposed and rejected by the leadership (Messenger) of this first era. For the symbolism of Nicolaitans please refer to that entry in the post, 'The Keys To Unlocking The Mystery Part 4' in the blog, 'The Holy Bible Expounded'.
The Book of Revelation recorded by the Apostle John has been around some (slightly less than) two thousand years, and many of the prophetic events recorded by the Apostle John had already happened (aka come to pass), many have been happening (started to happen and is on going and in the process) and many more will be happening soon.
So again no, the world has not being in a continuous state of being about to end for some two thousand years, contrary to the continuous sprouting out of prophets of doom over the centuries to this very day, proclaiming that the world is about to end in a matter days, weeks, months, within one to a few years or even the exact date clearly spelt out.
But yes, the world (i.e. the current human social order where humans are basically animals driven primarily by hormones and chemicals generating emotions while under the rule, sway and authority of Satan the Devil) will very soon end, but not yet (i.e. not today, not the first and second millennia, not during Black Deaths, not during World War 2, not during the SARS epidemic, the Spanish Flu, not during the South Asia/West Africa tsunami, etc.).
Truth is, wars, famines and pestilence (i.e. disease outbreak and epidemics, natural disasters, etc. and their toll on human lives) are common repeating occurrences in the history of the human social order. So why would the Book of Revelation record these as events that would lead from that time to (but not as signs of) the end of the Age of Man (i.e. the current social order of humankind that has been since after the Rainbow Covenant)? What is the significant of this series of repeating events that we (i.e. true Christians as well as anyone who actually believe in GOD) should take note of?
And I looked, and behold, a white horse. He who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer.
Revelation 6:2
The conquering conqueror who was given a crown, what does this symbol signifies or symbolizes? What does a conqueror do? He conquers by force of violence.
And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.
Matthew 11:12
For centuries mainstream so called "Christianity" has proclaimed the first horse and rider of Revelation 6 verse 2 to be them, "Christianity", conquering the world (by warring to force the world to convert to their religion, and preaching).
But this white horse and its rider is not (the symbolism of) Christianity nor of the "religions" (because there is no such thing as a religion or religions) of the GOD of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, but these are the plagiarizing identity thieving pagan religions that proclaimed themselves as the religions of the GOD of Abraham andor of JESUS CHRIST. Exactly the same type as those which JESUS CHRIST spoke of about those of a violent nature seizing the Kingdom of Heaven (Matthew 11:12).
Well for one, Christianity is not a religion (never was) by any definition, and especially not by the definition of the entirety of the human social order of whatever knowledge disciplines and belief systems of what religion is.
Christianity very concisely and simply defined is a contracted agreement entered into with the AMIGHTY CREATOR of all there is to accept HIM as one's SOVEREIGN (aka KING), OWNER (aka MASTER or LORD) and MAKER (aka CREATOR) acknowledging HIM as such in HIS defining attribute as the PEPERTUAL (i.e. Hebrew original text Yĕhovah H3068) POWER (i.e. Hebrew original text ’elohiym H430) translated in most Christian Bible as LORD GOD. And additionally only for the true Christian on turning in repentance followed with baptism and the laying on of hands by those already true Christian, as FATHER by the begettal of the HOLY SPIRIT of GOD. For the discussion of the meaning of the term 'GOD' and other terms used to reference the GOD of Christianity please read the post 'GOD' in the blog 'The Scripture of Truth'.
Read the post, 'What Is Religion And What Is Worship' for the discussion on what all of humankind believe andor understood the meaning of these two terms to be and why Christianity as a binding agreement (or contract) aka covenant, between two parties of which marriage as a social contract or religious 'sacrament' owed its roots to (i.e. how marriage came about to become a social contract in civil law and a religious 'sacrament' or ceremony, in some belief systems, is from the twisting and perversion or corruption of) the original marriage covenant ordained for humankind to have a family by the ALMIGHTY CREATOR when HE created the first family of humankind).
Basically or fundamentally, then, the Four Horse Rider of the Book of Revelation chapter 6, is about the (normal or natural) tides of events happening in the social order of humankind as well as in the natural geological and climatic process of planet earth, albeit with a crucial difference.
Lusting For The World To End
Woe to you who desire the day of the Lord!
For what good is the day of the Lord to you?
It will be darkness, and not light.
It will be as though a man fled from a lion,
And a bear met him!
Or as though he went into the house,
Leaned his hand on the wall,
And a serpent bit him!
Amos 5:18 – 19
Anyone with an inkling of a clue about the history of the social order of humankind (aka human civilization) and the natural history of planet earth, would (or should anyway) know that wars, drought, famine, disease pestilence and natural disaster or calamities, have been part and parcel of both since their beginnings.
And this is the absolute proof of the functional insanity of the greater bulk of humankind. Every time a major disease outbreak and a large scale natural calamity or global scale war (notably the first and second world war) occurs, time and time again these totally insane doom day 'prophets' will surface to proclaim the end of the world.
But that of course is not the only time these lust seeded, fueled and driven proclaimed and acclaimed Superlatives would surface to proclaimed the end of the world, just about anything which they could seize hold on to frighten people, anything from a 'non natural/para-natural' or seemingly strange events or incidence to that of any frightening news.
Go check out on the internet (i.e. with a Google search, or any search engine/portal on the interweb) for failed prophecies and you will find all manner of things and events that elicit and excite these totally lust driven proclaimed and acclaimed Superlatives of religions and the other proclaimed and acclaimed Superlatives of the human social order (particularly the conspiracy theorists and other so called alternate belief systems).
You will easily find people proclaiming, and worse people believing, everything from the hoaxed 'Prophet Hen of Leeds' to the 'Mayan calendar' twisted to proclaim it predicted the end of the world. Read the Wikipedia collection (not exhaustive) for a long list of these insanity seeded, fueled and driven proclamations and pronouncements.
Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition
2 Thessalonians 2:3
During the times of the Apostles (of CHRIST), the Apostles stood against all those claiming that the Second Advent was occurring or had occurred, mindful of the words of LORD JESUS of all the things that must come first come to past (i.e. happen) and that it was not for them (the disciples particularly the twelve Apostles) to know but they were to focus on their assigned work of taking the message of (aka preaching the) the Gospel of the Kingdom of GOD to the nations ('to the end of the earth').
And He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority. But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
Acts 1:7 – 8
While the early true Church of GOD never proclaim when the end would come (as in giving dates then amending them again and again as it proclaimed dates failed to see the end of the world).
Only those evil plagiarizing servants of Satan the Devil in the Mystery Babylonian religion (which originated in Simon the Sorcerer who 'converted' to Christianity) taking on the name of Christianity, have doing so in order to frighten people to unquestioning obey them and do all their bidding (today, from some fifty and more years ago).
The best examples of this is fully witnessed in the so called religion of peace not only among the extremists such as Al Qaeda, Boko Haram, ISIS and many others, but also in nations such as Iran, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan and many middle eastern nations under the rule of this third harlot woman (Zechariah 5:9) of the so called Abrahamic religion).
Of course anyone familiar with the history of the Christmas religion would (or should anyway) know that this was also the exact case with the second harlot (Zechariah 5:9) first the Great Harlot Church of the Christmas religion, the also her daughter harlots such as the Anglican Church, the Eastern Orthodox Churches, then after the Protestant Reformation, even these daughters many to this very day has been doing this (requiring all they can subjugate to unquestioningly obey them).
The Church of GOD Began Proclaiming (i.e. Implying) Dates For the End of The World
But this was to change beginning from the Thyatira era.
I know your works, love, service, faith, and your patience; and as for your works, the last are more than the first.
Revelation 2:19
The Church of GOD in Thyatira (i.e. of the Thyatira era) began (or has her beginnings) as a Church of GOD in hiding on the fringes of Europe and Asia, from the vicious persecution of the Great Harlot Church of the Catholic religion (before she spawn the bulk of her harlot daughters in the Protestant Reformation) and thus has (or did) not much (Revelation 2:19) work (of proclaiming the Gospel message to the nations as a witness (Matthew 24:14) and fruits.
Here is an important point that refutes the lust driven lies of the many of the daughter harlots of the Christmas religion of the doctrines of 'save by grace through faith and not by work' (i.e. a faith that does no need to do anything except to do whatever you lusted to do). If you don't do anything you basically do not grow Spiritually and are dead (Revelation 3:1) from the context of Spirit growth and development (2 Peter 3:18).
In life if you don't do anything you will begin losing your ability to do anything. Don't try this but if you bind up your hand (left of right) and all the fingers such that it can't move for several years, and don't try to move it, over time your hand will become withered and be unable to function. It won't straighten or bend or move (all the parts that are bound from moving for several years).
Fishes that lives in dark caves all will over time lose their eyes completely.
This is such an obvious and evident truth and fact in our reality such that only the massively stupid and deliberately stupid would fail to perceive and understand it.
Yet, today millions to billions of so called Christians totally bought into the doctrine of 'by grace through faith you are save and not of works' (a doctrine first invented by ego supergorging, totally lust driven Apostle Paul so as to preach against circumcision and his detractors the Jewish converts who had dared to question his supreme authority, knowledge and total absolute spirituality as the least and therefore the greatest of the twelve Apostle) to proclaim that works such as keeping the Ten Commandments are unnecessary but will instead a person to 'fall from grace' and become estrange from CHRIST (Galatians 5:4).
For whoever has, to him more will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.
Matthew 13:12
The Scripture passage Matthew 13 verse 12 (also repeated in Matthew 25 verse 29, Mark 4 verse 25 and Luke 8 verse 18) make it explicitly clear that works is required, as also the Parable of Talents (Matthew 25:14 – 30).
When this author was called in 1987 C.E. until 1995 C.E., as just a lay member of the Elect, even as right from the beginning I was given an unusual amount of understanding (through thoroughly studying the Scriptures, from Genesis to Revelation) it was still nothing compared to from a few years (after I have faithfully testified against the first Laodicea Messenger who was also the second Philadelphia Messenger, then again testified to the Worthless Shepherd, the second Laodicea Messenger) before this work started on Blogger in 2009 C.E..
But it was after this work started on Blogger that was (or has been) when the understanding (of the truth from GOD and recorded in the Holy Christian Scriptures) grew geometrically and the term 'my cup runs over' (Psalm 23:5) was literally fulfilled vis a vis this author and this work.
Numerous Scriptures in the Gospel accounts clearly and explicitly stressed on the requirement to both obey (the commandments and laws of GOD) and to work (to do the will and work of the FATHER). These were again clearly and explicitly repeated and stressed on in the Book of Revelation.
And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.
Colossians 2:13 – 14
What this translate as is that only those serving the agenda of Satan the Devil would push a doctrine of grace that does away with need to obey (keep the commandments of GOD) and of not needing to do anything because 'Jesus already fulfilled everything' or 'Jesus had nailed the law and commandments on his cross'.
For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 5:18 – 19
Whereas JESUS had made it clear that not even a single stroke in the writing of the law would be done away. Well, guess who (among the twelve Apostles) will be called least in the Kingdom of Heaven?
But millions to billions who proclaimed themselves as Christian chose to believe the Apostle Paul over the LORD JESUS, why? There is only one reason and it is because they lusted uncontrollably to. This was exactly as Adam and Eve chose to believe a strange talking snake (or serpent) rather the ONE who created them and provide for all their needs because they lusted uncontrollably to.
So why has all of these (the above about lusting uncontrollably to believe in lies) to do when and why the Church of GOD started proclaiming dates for the LORD JESUS returning aka Second Coming () and the end of the age (). Because that has been the reason the Church of GOD of Thyatira, Philadelphia and Laodicea eras have proclaiming dates for when JESUS CHRIST will return from a certain event that happened the time of the Church of GOD in Thyatira.
After the Protestant Reformation broke much of the power impunity of the Great Harlot Church, the persecuted Church of GOD of the Thyatira era surviving in the fringes of Eurasia slowly began to 'surface' from her hiding.
Then the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that they should feed her there one thousand two hundred and sixty days.
Revelation 12:6
When a whole new world across the Atlantic began to be opened up for settlement the Elect (in the person of the Messenger of a new administration) of the Thyatira era moved there to be free from the vestiges of the power impunity of the Great Harlot Church in Europe and the extension of European colony power.
As also happen on many occasions when the Church of GOD was in hiding in fringes of Eurasia, some members of the Christmas religion came into contact with some the Elect of GOD and adopted some of the teachings or doctrines of the one true Church of GOD. One such example was Peter Waldo in 12 Century C.E. France.
During the latter part of Thyatira era the Elect of the Church of GOD were freely mixing with those of some denominations of the Protestant Reformation spawned daughter harlots of the Christmas religion. This was not too different from the time of the post Apostolic Age until some time after the Nicene Council when having receiving political sanction and power, the Great Harlot Church began her vicious persecution of the Church of GOD in order to wipe her out.
In was during this time that a man named William Miller (February 15, 1782 – December 20, 1849), from the a daughter harlot (i.e. Baptist) denomination of the Great Harlot of the Christmas religion, came into either direct or indirect (Gospel) message of the Church of GOD in Thyatira. The Baptist denomination shares the same teaching on Baptism as the true Christian and during those days there was freedom of movement () and sharing of knowledge, between the lay membership and even some of the elders among both the true Church of GOD and the Baptist church of the Christmas religion.
Now concerning things offered to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love edifies.
1 Corinthians 8:1 (this verse is by the Apostle Paul and quoted and stressed on by the first Philadelphia Messenger, but did either looked in the mirror to discerned just how puffed up they were by ego supergorging lust while thinking and holding themselves that they have mastery of the knowledge of the Mystery of the Kingdom?)
Finding an empowering angle (i.e. information leading him to think that he know of things others don't) in the information from the Gospel message preached by the Church of GOD in Thyatira, William Miller then twisted some selectively selected passage from the Bible, to proclaimed that JESUS CHRIST would be returning in 1844 C.E..
Now if we were to look at all the proclaimed and acclaimed Superlatives among the Elect, especially those who have been (i.e. those of the past and those today) in leadership positions (whether ordained by GOD or self appointed) we would (or should anyway) noted that all have been doing the exact same thing as this William Miller, taking some selectively select (ignoring all the rest that cover the same subject) verses and passages from the Scriptures then adding in twist, spins and inventions to proclaimed (so as to show that they know) dates after dates after dates (because each previous date it did not happen, their 'prophecies' did not come true) on which JESUS CHRIST would be returning.
But of course, JESUS did not return on that date (1844 C.E.) because the Scriptures did not and had never said so in its records.
Because of the loose association and organization structure of the Church of GOD of those times and the unrestricted mingling among all those who proclaimed themselves as Christians in those days (exactly as during the post Apostolic Age until the Great Harlot Church gained political sanction), the doctrines (i.e. teachings) of the one true Church also include all manner of heretical teachings subscribed to by the various members in the Church according to their lusts seeded and fueled driven preferred takes.
Even as the prophecies and the Millerites movement literally crashed and vaporized at his 1844 end of the world prophecy failed to happen, his style of preaching which was about having supreme knowledge of Scripture prophecies (which essentially is an exercise in ego supergorging, first witnessed among the Elect of GOD in the ministry and person of the Apostle Paul) however did not die with him.
Essentially the Millerites movement (though no longer called by this term) lived on in all ego gorgers who are always seeking avenues to express their ego gorging lust. Ego gorging lust essentially is power and glory lust, the lust for power and glory.
Very similar with drug addition, ego gorging is very easy to get addicted to, just take a look at the whole world of humankind, everyone is in some degree addicted to ego gorging lust which is not just from a (dopamine) hormonal boost but also a basic drive in the creature psyche (i.e. conscious and subconscious self perception).
........................
Until the New Covenant period, the only system of beliefs (or religion, in this case Judaism, the religion of the Jews of today which began to be nascent in the mostly, most of the times, vassal nation of Judah, from after their Babylonian exile) which has an end of the world (i.e. actually age, era, period or epoch, the era of the Age of Man) prophecy was Judaism.
But from after that it was no longer true with the rise of that the mystery Babylonian Religion (prophesied in the Book of Revelation) having gain political (and in tandem, sanctioned violent means) power in the Creed of Nicene. This even was the official rise of one the two women with wings of a stork, to sized the message of the Kingdom of Heaven by violent (Matthew 11:12). Plagiarizing the doctrinal and prophetic records of the Christian Holy Scriptures, this first women with wings of a stork (Zechariah 5:9) prophesied by the Prophet Zechariah.
The second of these two women with wings of a stork (Zechariah 5:9) was to rise to political and military power to seize the message of the Kingdom of Heaven (Matthew 11:12) with violent aka using violent means (so as to advance herself as the religion andor nation empire of the Kingdom of Heaven) some two hundred years later (after the first).

God (includes all similar terms and all their plural forms)
The common term or word God actually is a translation of the term from Greek original text (of the New Covenant records) 'theos' [G2316] and is a generic term referring to deity/deities or anything as object of worship and do not carry any definitive name attributes.
The term basically is used to refer to anything or anyone that is being worshiped so do not necessarily refers to the Christian GOD unless specifically or implicitly denoted or connoted. That is the reason this work capitalized (i.e. use all upper case letters) to specifically denote all references made to the Christian GOD including in metamorphic or analogical references.
This is unlike the NAME and other references to the GOD of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the Old Covenant records, all of which carried defining attributes in the name or are analogical, allegorical and metaphorical usages to identity a defining attribute of the said GOD. See the post 'GOD' in the blog 'The Scripture of Truth' for the discussions of the various terms used by the Holy Christian Scriptures to denote the ALMIGHTY CREATOR of all things.

Grace of GOD, grace and gracious
Entry added 2020 02 20 and in progress
For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.
Ephesians 2:8 – 9
In the entry Race and Genealogy (below) I discussed how the (ego supergorging) lust driven Elect including and especially the elders (including most of the Messengers to the Church of GOD of the last few eras, notably Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia and Laodicea) all exactly as the Apostle Paul and even the other twelve Apostle appointees (including Judas Iscariot) lusting in ego supergorging lust to the greatest and most supreme over others promoted and advanced a doctrine of the white race as the supreme race.
These are the generations [towlĕdah H8435] of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations [dowr H1755], and Noah walked with God.
Genesis 6:9
In that particular entry discussion on 'Race and Genealogy', I mentioned how the first Messenger to the Church of GOD in Philadelphia twisted Genesis 6 verse 9 where it recorded of 'Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations' to proclaimed that GOD required JESUS CHRIST to be of a pure (i.e. totally and absolutely unadulterated with the blood and genes of other races) to proclaimed that verse as saying so.
He in his ego gorging frenzy went into total deliberated stupidity to implicitly advance himself and his white race (or racial "origin") as supreme and was not afraid to twist with spins added in, the very Word of GOD ALMIGHTY, twisting the translated English word 'generation' (in the second instance of that word in of Genesis 6 verse 9) of the King James Version, to proclaimed that it was about 'racial genealogy' of a perfect lineage of white racial stock or genes. This however totally goes against the Scripture record of the Hebrew original text which was 'dowr H1755' carrying the meanings (depending on context) of 'era, period, age, generation' and not genetic and racial genealogy or chronology, because GOD look at humankind only from one context, mankind made in the image and likeness of GOD (Genesis 1:26 – 30; 9:6; Galatians 3:28; Colossians 3:11) and whether they fear, believe and obey GOD or will disregard GOD to pursue after their lust seeded, fueled and driven self expedient agenda to the measure and whenever they are able to muster the needed power impunity to do so.

Heaven and Heavens
There are three Heaven concepts in the Scriptures, first there is the earth's atmosphere (where birds and other flying creatures fly and where clouds form); second there is all of space (as the second heaven) above (or rather outside of earth and its atmosphere) and the rest of the (physical) universe; and then the Third Heaven as the Spirit realm or dominion which is outside of (and a super set to) our (physical) universe where GOD's throne or seat of government currently is.
And no the Third Heaven is not the place where GOD lives (aka dwell, note that 1 Timothy 6:16 is an analogical expression not a literal one) or have HIS realm of existence.
There is no fourth Heaven as beyond the Third Heaven (which all of creation is held within), there is only GOD (Revelation 1:8, 21:6, 22:13), absolute (to the most absolute sense of absolute) power and intelligence (both, not just without, but beyond, limits and limitations) undefined and undefinable.
And no, GOD do not have HIS existence (a term with no meaning with regard to, when it comes to the reality of, GOD) in the creation (except when JESUS was born as a SON of man), the creation exist within that which GOD defined (limited and set apart) and created for the creation to exist in, or to have an expression in.
GOD IS all, and all that exist, exist within what HE defined and created. GOD does not need a place to live or exist in, GOD IS the ABSOLUTE DEFAULT of reality.
And no the Third Heaven is not the place where GOD lives (aka dwell, note that 1 Timothy 6:16 is an analogical expression not a literal one) or have HIS realm of existence.
There is no fourth Heaven as beyond the Third Heaven (which all of creation is held within), there is only GOD (Revelation 1:8, 21:6, 22:13), absolute (to the most absolute sense of absolute) power and intelligence (both, not just without, but beyond, limits and limitations) undefined and undefinable.
And no, GOD do not have HIS existence (a term with no meaning with regard to, when it comes to the reality of, GOD) in the creation (except when JESUS was born as a SON of man), the creation exist within that which GOD defined (limited and set apart) and created for the creation to exist in, or to have an expression in.
GOD IS all, and all that exist, exist within what HE defined and created. GOD does not need a place to live or exist in, GOD IS the ABSOLUTE DEFAULT of reality.
In religions' usage the term heaven has a different meaning today (in most religions with references to heaven) than it was in the dark ages (when all of these ancient religions were invented by plagiarizing identity thieving fraudsters, scammers and charlatans) before the last few centuries when humankind (especially those are the proclaimed and acclaimed Superlatives) began to learn more about our earth and universe from the early pioneers of science.
During those dark ages near all humankind including all those who are the proclaimed and acclaimed Superlatives of all religions (including their inventors andor most supreme The prophets) and knowledge, thought and believed that heaven (where their Gods/God/G_d lives in, in the exact same sense as we lived on earth) is the sky, with many even believing that the heaven and their Gods/God/G_d could be reached by climbing to the top of a very high mountain (from seeing clouds covering the mountain tops).
Today with the knowledge gained thanks to science, most of these religions (i.e. their proclaimed and acclaimed Superlatives) no longer believe that the sky is heaven but many of them still are both unclear and non specific as to where this heaven is that they will go to to do whatever when they will go there to do the whatever, when they die andor then ascend to this so called heaven.

Hell, Sheol, Hades, Gehenna and Tartarus
Hell, hell fire and when hell freezes over, are all concepts from Scripture terms. There are three main Scripture terms translated into the English term ‘hell’ in most Bible translations.
They are (i.e. the terms and the meanings they carried in the Scriptures): ‘Gehenna’ (Matthew 5:22) from the Greek ‘geenna [G1067]’ as a transliteration of the Hebrew original texts carrying the meaning of a deep place or valley; Tartarus (2 Peter 2:4, YLT) from the Greek term ‘tartaroō [G5020]’ carrying the meaning of a deep and dark place of confinement or incarceration; and the grave (as symbolic of death) from Hades in the New Covenant records and Sheol in the Old Covenant records, are from the Greek ‘hadēs [G86]’ (Matthew 11:23) and the Hebrew ‘shĕ'owl [H7585]’ (Deuteronomy 32:22) respectively.
Gehenna in Scripture usage is a symbolic term which carried the analogical meaning of the Lake of Fire (Revelation 20:15) as the place of final destruction of all those whose names are not found in the Book of Life (Revelation 17:8). The term in the Gospel times literally referred to a place outside Jerusalem where rubbish were burned up.

Horns (also Goat)
Entry added 2021 01 29
The concept of horns in imageries of literatures (both fictions and non fictions) and in movies are very often used to portray Satan, the Devil, Lucifer (a term introduced to the Scriptures by Christmas religions translators) as well as also demons and other association with evil.
In the Scriptures horns are all symbolic analogical representation (i.e. symbolism) and are never ever a literal representation of anything other than itself as literally a horns of an animal (commonly a ram, a male sheep or goat).
Also the context for the use of horn in symbolism as analogical of authority or power wielded by a member of humankind as the ruler or ruling power of a nation or political/military entity. These are almost invariably those of sheep or goat and never of other animals (i.e. termed as cattle or beast in the Scripture) such as bull or cow, deer, lizard, rhino, etc..
The first Messenger to the Church of GOD in Philadelphia the ignorant and clueless clod and massive ego supergorger proclaimed that the messages of the Holy Christian Scriptures must all be read and interpreted literally.

Kingdom Come
The term Kingdom Come is directly from and about the Gospel of the Kingdom of GOD (Mark 1:14) or Heaven (Matthew 3:2), specifically from the LORD's Prayer.
In this manner, therefore, pray:
Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
As we forgive our debtors.
And do not lead us into temptation,
But deliver us from the evil one.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
Matthew 6:9 – 13 (also in Luke 11:2 – 4)
In today common usage the term refers to something that either is (always) a very long time away or will never happen or occur. This is basically blasphemy to imply that the Kingdom come of the Scriptures is something that will never happen or is so fall away that it contextually will not happen in the lifetime of anyone.

Race and genealogy (entry dated 2019 09 26 and updating)
From the context and perspective of the Christian Holy Scriptures, humankind is basically just one race, of and from one race, all the evil lies of racists, elitists, purists and supremacists who are proclaimed and acclaimed Superlatives of the so called Abrahamic religions and also among the Elect of GOD to the contrary.
Luke 3:23...........
Now Jesus Himself began His ministry at about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, the son of Heli
......Luke 3:38 (please note that ‘the son of God’ at the end of the verse is not literally correct but just symbolic as to or towards, the ultimate intention (Genesis 1:26 –27, 2:7; John 20:22) of GOD as Adam throughout his lifetime never receive the begetting of GOD through the giving of HIS HOLY SPIRIT)
the son of Enosh, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God
First, there was the genealogy of Adam (and Eve) where all humankind are of the family of Adam (as first father and original forefather, and first head of the human family). This is the physical biological genealogy pertaining to this temporary physical life. Then and finally, there is the genealogy of GOD with the LORD JESUS born as a SON of man literally SON of Adam so that (i.e. towards the ends that) HE be born as the First Born (Revelation 1:5; 1 Corinthians 15:23) of GOD in the FAMILY of GOD (Genesis 5:1; Ephesians 2:19, 3:15), fully HOLY SPIRIT composed pertaining to the Spirit realm and a forever with ending life.
There was never an issue of race throughout the Antediluvian Age only the evils of murder and wanton sexual abuse of young girls and women as object of lust (Genesis 6:2) and the blasphemous use of the name of GOD (Genesis 4:26 the second part and sentence) by the proclaimed and acclaimed Superlatives of God aka ‘sons of God’ of that era. Search through the entirety of the Christian Holy Scriptures for the word or term ‘race as pertain to genetic racial stock’ and you won't find the word but search for the term ‘family aka household’ and you will find a couple of hundreds.
Take a look at the proclaimed and acclaimed Superlatives of Gods/God/G-d and the entirety of the human social order, from as far back as there are records to this very day, are these sexual abuse (Genesis 6:2) not still going on today, have they actually ever stopped?
How about murders and all manner of violence (Genesis 4:8, 23; 6:11, 13) in the human social order have they ever stopped?
How about making use of the term or name God (Genesis 4:26) to proclaim all many of explicitly evil and blasphemous things (i.e. teachings, doctrines, proclamations, pronouncements, decrees, judgments and judicial sentences), are they not still going on today, has this ever stopped.
The GOD ordained institution of marriage is a covenant, an agreement between adult men and adult women to enter into, and no children including teens and sub adults can enter into such a covenant, only all those who are adults. But pedophilia (i.e. adults preying sexually on those who are not yet adult with or without consent, in or outside of marriage) is a pervasive and rampant evil practice today from since antiquity, as it was during the Antediluvian Age which was what Genesis 6 verse 2 recorded as evil practice of that evil generation. Also too is forced marriages (even when adults are involved), rampantly and pervasively practiced since antiquity, another great evil (aka abomination) in GOD's sight.
that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose.
Genesis 6:2
The issue of race began only after the Tower of Babel and was precipitated with Nimrod making himself king to establish the first pagan kingdom (i.e. nation) of beastly (as pertaining to behavior that are exactly like animals) humankind. Race as a concept was an invention of humankind, twisting with spins added in to the concept of genealogy of the Scripture of Truth.
If you have thoroughly and meticulously read and studied the Christian Holy Scriptures (Genesis to Revelation) with a humble and sincere attitude to seek GOD and learned what HE is communicating to us in the Scripture of Truth, you would (or should anyway) have fully noted and completely understood that GOD do not look on race (because from HIS context there is only one race of humankind and this is mankind made in the image and likeness of GOD) but at families. The reason for this will be discussed in another post as it is a main Scripture topic and doctrine in the blog The Scripture of Truth.
That is correct when GOD looks upon humankind HE look at them from the perspective of families (of fathers and sons, includes implicitly, mothers and daughters) that was the reason when HE made humankind HE created only one man and even the one woman was from the one man, and not three (or whatever number of races the proclaimed and acclaimed Superlatives among humankind proclaimed there to be) men of three different races then three women made from the ribs taken from these three men of three different races.
And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.
Genesis 2:7
So Adam gave names to all cattle, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field. But for Adam there was not found a helper comparable to him.
And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place. Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man.
Genesis 2:20 – 22
Even the concepts of male and female, the female is as addition to the male towards the purposes of this temporary physical realm (our universe) as the education ground (i.e. a realm created to educate the creature personages both the Spirit composed Angels and the dust composed humankind towards the forever for all those who will qualify aka accounted worthy to inherit this forever). There are a few reasons why GOD created Eve from Adam and not separately which this work will also discuss in a future post (i.e. discussion) even as this work has basically discussed one of the reasons as part of some earlier discussions.
GOD could have as easily created humankind hermaphrodites or all as females fully capable of giving birth to female babies without any male involvement, as easily as HE had created us heterosexual.
Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And the Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. So the Lord said, “I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them.”
Genesis 6:5 – 7
So basically we either get with the program or get exterminated exactly as near all the Antediluvian Age were exterminated for their wanton evils of murders and sexual abuse of women and young girls.
And yes that (the extermination of all those who are evil, exactly as happened at the end of the Antediluvian Age) is going to happen again very soon not many years from today, GOD is again going to act to exterminate most of those who are evil in the Day of the LORD when HE acts to remove Satan the Devil from his position of authority (John 12:31; Luke 4:5 – 6; Revelation 13:2) over the planet earth and as an Angel (i.e. servant officer with charge over a third of the Angels) because of his clandestine insurrection which will soon break out in open warfare (Revelation 12:7) against GOD.
No doubt the scoffing and mocking proclaimed and acclaimed Superlatives of religions (including those among the Elect), science, minds/thoughts (aka philosophers) and academia would retort, ‘Why then are there different races of humankind from white, yellow, red, brown, etc.?’
Have you ever look at guppies or Betta splendens. There are many colors and other variants but these are not various races of guppies or Betta splendens (or for that matter numerous other species of fishes). Then there are dogs all the same ‘race’ just different breeds which have been selectively bred for their genetic morphological enhanced expressions from the original breed (all the new breeds still holding the original genes, just recessive) where these morphological expressions are already present but not dominant (aka recessive traits) due to environment and original habitat constraints. The keyword is ‘breeds’.
All these proclaimed and acclaimed Superlatives of the human social order regardless belief systems (i.e. religion, non religion, irreligion, science, alternates and alternates of the alternates) and knowledge disciplines out of their evil lusting all totally refused in deliberated stupidity to understand the true (i.e. as an actuality) process of evolution as a GOD ordained process to educate the creature personages to show what (and how) a reality (i.e. creation) without GOD in it (i.e. without directly ruling over and tweaking it) will be like, in the form and manner (i.e. expression) how it will develop and be like, as a (temporary and self regenerating) continuity within the context.
The fundamentals of evolution as a reality expression which produce life on earth is that of the genetic codes being able to be dynamically changed overtime as the lifeforms encounter different habitat conditions so as to not just survive and continue their genealogy (but not lineage as in retaining the original parents morphology in shape, form, size and behaviors) but to change to spread to areas of vastly different environmental conditions.
JESUS CHRIST Genealogy Was From A Perfect Lineage Of The White Race
Among the many deliberated stupidity lies (includes many very massively stupid blasphemous ones too) of the sole Messenger of Church of GOD in Philadelphia (Revelation 3:7) one was that JESUS CHRIST must be from a perfectly pure white racial stock.
No doubt he picked up this evil supremacist, elitist and racist doctrine from those before him both from the previous era of the Church of GOD (in Sardis) as also indeed he retained many doctrines from his earlier beliefs in the Quaker denomination (a harlot daughter) of the Christmas religion, and also lies he totally bought line, hook and sinker from other denominations (especially the rules-based hairsplitting so called fundamentalists) of the Christmas religion when he (while still totally a pagan professing the Christmas religion having effectively zero information of the Christian Holy Scriptures, full of arrogant ego gorging indignation and totally no GOD in his mind nor prayers in his heart) did a six month intensive (when he should have done an extensive cover to cover reading of the Scriptures first with a meek and humble attitude seeking guidance and direction from GOD) study in a public library studying pagan alternate religions assertions and proclamations, towards the ends that he could prove his wife wrong about the Sabbath.
Here is a reworked extract on the discussion of the lie that JESUS CHRIST must be from a so called pure racial line from the post Status Updates 2017 C.E.:
This is the genealogy of Noah. Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations. Noah walked with God.Genesis 6:9
The Messenger to the Philadelphia era Church answered this in proclaiming that it was because of interracial marriage, that interracial marriage is a sin in GOD sight. He justified this proclamation and declaration by quoting several Scripture passages.
In using one verse (Genesis 6:9) he proclaimed and declared that racial purity was paramount to GOD and it was that which made Noah ‘perfect in his generations’ in deliberated stupidity ignoring that this word of the original text translated into the English word ‘generation’ in this verse was ‘dowr’ [H1755] literally meaning age or period and not ‘towlĕdah’ [H8435] literally meaning a chronological progression including genealogical lineage, and of all manner of things in a progression chronologically.
These are the generations [towlĕdah H8435] of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect [tamiym H8549] in his generations [dowr H1755], and Noah walked with God. (Genesis 6 verse 9 KJV)
No doubt that verse is slightly tricky (because of the King James Bible translators, not the original texts) but only tricky to those who are rules-based hairsplitters.
That is correct, that verse was specifically written in that manner (in the KJV by the translators who were subscribing followers of the Christmas religion and not the Elect of GOD) for the sole purpose of exposing all the deliberately stupid rules-based hairsplitters for that which they actually, fully, totally and absolutely are, those who are so explicitly evil that they do not hesitate to twist with inventions added in to the Holy Word of GOD to advance they own lust seeded and fueled evil agenda.
In the English translation (KJV) sometimes two different words, and in this case specifically ‘dowr’ [H1752] and ‘towlĕdah’ [H3205] of the original text were translated into the same English word ‘generation’.
In the first part of Genesis 6 verse 9, that which is communicated is that of ‘Here is the account ("This is the genealogy") of Noah’, meaning here begins the Scripture testimony or record about Noah chronologically, and is basically a heading or subheading to the accounts that would followed from Genesis 6 verse 9 until the verse 22, and going all the way until the chronological account (about Noah) ended in Genesis 9 verse 29. It should be noted that the following verses beginning from Genesis 10 verse 1 the account shifted to that of Noah's sons.
The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. So God looked upon the earth, and indeed it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.And God said to Noah, “The end of all flesh has come before Me, for the earth is filled with violence through them; and behold, I will destroy them with the earth.Genesis 6:11 – 13
And the (second of three) part of Genesis 6 verse 9 which testified that Noah was perfect [tamiym H8549] in his age (translated as ‘generation’ [dowr H1752] in the KJV), the Antediluvian Age, was a comparison with verses 11 to 13. This was to give (i.e. provide us with) the reason why GOD was going to wipe out and exterminate that entire age (or generation, era, period or epoch) but was sparing Noah (includes his entire immediate family).
One of the definitive ways to root out (or call out) all the brazenly lying proclaimed and acclaimed Superlatives of the GOD of Abraham (Isaac and Jacob), all pretending to be sincerely, meekly, contritely, humbly in slave bondage level servitude seeking GOD to obey and do GOD's will and work, is in what they chose to focus on near exclusively (for each of their proclaimed and declared doctrinal basis) and in what chose to ignore totally.
That is correct, in what they selectively select as valid and in what they totally ignore as irrelevant, superseded, obsolete and abolished, as well as what they implicitly or explicitly declared to be not Scriptures from the inspired Holy Words of GOD the Scripture of Truth.
This is of course another very simple thing. If we are indeed sincerely seeking to obey GOD we would be sincerely seeking to find out what GOD has to say on each and every matter. This would mean that we will be meticulously and thoroughly studying all of the Scriptures instead of choosing to selectively select whichever we want to use and disregard and discard all the rest that don't agree with what we want to believe or to use to advance and promote our own self expedient agenda.
Now then, if we will believe what the Scriptures recorded (which GOD had HIS Prophets and Scribes recorded as HIS communication to enlightened and educated, including to test and proof, HIS Elect and also the Spirit composed Angels) rather than totally chose to lust losing all cognitive intelligence and rational restraints, so as to be able to go totally in deliberated massive moronic stupidity in order to believe the massively moronically stupid proclamations and assertions of the massively stupid evil lust driven proclaimed and acclaimed Superlatives, we would (or should anyway) both perceived and understood that for the lineage of JESUS CHRIST to be of a perfectly pure white racial stock, not only was there a requirement for just Noah to be racially perfectly pure but also his wife, his son Shem and the wife of Shem including also all their subsequent lineage all the way to JESUS CHRIST has to be of a perfectly pure white racial stock.
The last time I read, the Scriptures only recorded of Noah being perfect [tamiym H8549] in his generation, ‘dowr’ [H1755] (i.e. epoch, age or period and NOT ‘towlĕdah’ [H8435] chronology, genealogy or lineage) and not anyone else, not his wife, not any of his sons, Shem, Japheth or Ham, nor the wives of Shem, Japheth or Ham. For the lineage of JESUS to be "perfectly pure of the white race" at the very least Noah's wife, Shem and Shem's wife all also have to be of a "perfectly pure, completely unadulterated and undefiled white racial stock" too, which clearly the Scriptures did not record, why? Because all flesh had corrupted themselves in that generation (aka age), all except Noah. No one else were perfect (i.e. righteous) in their generations or age (dowr H1755).
Here is another problem with the proclamation and assertion that Noah was perfectly pure in his so called white racial lineage.
Everyone of humankind without exception came from Adam (and Eve who also came from Adam being created from one of his ribs) the first and original parent of the human race.
So for Noah to be of a perfectly pure white racial lineage would require that Adam (and Eve too) too must first be of a perfectly pure white racial lineage.
But if Adam (and Eve as well, because Eve is essential the female clone of Adam) has (otherwise how could any of their progenies be of any of these other so called racial genetic stocks) the racial genes of the black, yellow and white (including all the other possible colors of racial genes of red, brown, cream, beige, etc.) how then, by what magical, supernatural, paranormal, mumbo jumbo twists of definition and terms, vomited out from some insane wormholes (Matthew 12:34), can Adam (and Eve) be of a perfectly pure white racial genetic stock if there are black, yellow, white, red, brown, cream, beige, etc. genes in them?
Does not this means that Adam (and Eve) was actually of a so called very, very impure genetic racial stock, a very, very mixed mongrel racial stock to begin with? That GOD intentionally created Adam and Eve to be of very, very impure genetic non racially white stock.
So here is the cream of the cake of that evil racist deliberated stupidity supremacist proclamation (i.e. doctrine) that Noah was of a perfectly pure white racial stock, If racial purity is paramount with GOD and GOD had intentionally created Adam and Eve of a very, very impure genetic non white racial stock so that HE can miraculously or magically create Noah of a totally pure white racial stock. At the very least this very evil and blasphemous doctrine would have GOD as evil, intentionally creating "defiled, corrupted, impure racial stock in Adam and Eve" so that all humankind will be of a defiled, corrupted impure racial stock" then condemned all because of their "defiled, corrupted, impure racial stock" so that HE could exterminate them all as being of "evil, defiled, corrupted, impure racial stock".
Brood of vipers! How can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.
Matthew 12:34
Then there is also the problem of being perfectly pure. The term perfect [tamiym H8549] in the Scriptures do not have the same meaning as the term 'perfect' in the English language in contemporary usage. In the Scriptures, the term carried two basic meaning in the Old Covenant Hebrew records with only one of these two, in the Greek New Covenant records.
The actual discussion of this Scripture term perfect [tamiym H8549] belongs in the blog ‘The Scripture of Truth’ so here I will just mention that it has nothing to do with pedigree purity but about being righteous (Genesis 17:1 which highlighted that the term perfect used in the Scriptures is about conduct and behaviors and not genealogy or pedigree purity) in two aspects or contexts.
One that of being without being contaminated (with evil symbolized by blemishes in Old Covenant offerings which were unacceptable) and being complete (as in whole or entire with nothing missing; finished as completed as opposed to unfinished or incomplete and still lacking the entire desired attributes).
When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless [tamiym H8549].
Genesis 17:1
Or it is because all these proclaimed and acclaimed Superlatives supremacists, elitists and racists are so ultra mega super supremely supreme that they do not need to have any rational sense and reason to all that they proclaim and assert, that they can just spontaneously proclaim and assert all manner of ridiculous, massive stupidity and insanity saturated lies and blasphemies they lusted uncontrollably to proclaim and assert?
Anyone with any basic understanding of genetics would (or should anyway) know that from the context of genetics, there is no such thing as so called pure genetic material in any lifeform, let alone a perfectly pure genetic material in a lineage.
The genetic deoxyribonucleic acid (i.e. DNA) chromosomes is made up of six smaller molecules: five carbon sugar called deoxyribose, a phosphate molecule and four different nitrogenous bases (adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine). And all earthly lifeform has these exact same DNA type material. The term perfectly pure when it comes to genes and genetics has no reality expression in the evolution process produced lifeforms.
Genetics of all lifeform on the planet earth is an accumulation (including trimmings) in repeating selection of (of adding and taking away to redefine and reconfigure the chemical codes) billions of years of evolution.
Finally here is one very simple question that anyone so massively stupid for licking and swallowing up the spittle and vomits (Matthew 12:34, 36:18 – 19; Revelation 16:13) spewed out from their mouths (i.e. all that is proclaimed and asserted) by all the massively stupid supremacists, elitists, purists and racists (including all their variants, variations, alternates with new and old twists, spins and inventions) proclaimed and acclaimed Superlatives, ‘Is is really true that race and especially the racial stock of JESUS CHRIST absolutely must be that of an absolutely perfectly pure white racial stock, that is so paramount to GOD such that if JESUS CHRIST was not from an absolutely perfectly pure white racial stock, GOD's entire purpose for creation will totally fail?
If it is not paramount then answer this, ‘Why then would it matter at all absolutely that Noah must be perfect in this so called absolutely perfectly pure white racial stock in his lineage?’
Would not that mean that GOD is only the God of supremacists, elitists, purists and racists and not all those who are not, and also not of all creation? Go read what GOD said about all that HE had created after HE had finished in six days to repopulate the earth after all life was destroyed by an Angelic rebellion, in Genesis 1 verse 31.
Is this really what the Scriptures recorded consistently throughout its records from Genesis to Revelation?
It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.
John 6:63
And so it is written, “The first man Adam became a living being.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
1 Corinthians 15:45
For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.
Galatians 6:8
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
Galatians 3:28
Why would GOD created both Adam and Eve as essentially (i.e. according to the lust seeded, fueled and driven definition of supremacists, elitists, purists and racists, as well as from those of the supremely supreme, ultra mega awesome ingeniously brilliantly intelligent scientists) a mongrel so that through these pair of mongrels HE could through their impure genetic mongrel lineage create an absolutely perfectly pure white racial stock in Noah and only in Noah and no one else (Genesis 6:9) in order that after some two and a half thousand years the absolutely perfectly pure white racial stock of Noah will be conveyed in an unbroken chain of absolutely perfectly pure white racial stock to Mary the mother of JESUS CHRIST in order for JESUS CHRIST to be born as an absolutely perfectly pure white racial stock?’
If you (the reader) have been a sincere reader andor follower of this work or a sincere, meticulously thorough student of the Christian Holy Scriptures having read through the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation several times over, plus being an intelligent observer and discerner of human behaviors, you would (or should anyway) have both noted and understood that one of the most common, pervasive and endemic intent driven conduct of all humankind and even more actively so all the proclaimed and acclaimed Superlatives of the human social order be it religion, science, academia, philosophy, industry or whatever there is, all without fail would just always be seeking to use anyall things they can use (including to twist these with spins and fabricated inventions added in) to push, promote and advance their lusts seeded and fueled beliefs and agenda.

Repentance, to repent
Entry date: 2021 04 22
The full discussion on repentance is in the post, 'Repentance Is Required' in the blog, 'The Holy Bible Expounded' of this work.
This entry is just to say that the concept of repentance is another term or word of the which its usage and understanding by humankind has been twisted to not mean repentance but just some remorse whether real or feinted and stirred up.

Suicide Equals Perdition
Entry date: 2021 04 21
In the laws of many nations even to this modern day, suicide, the killing of oneself, is criminalized. Now let be clear I am not against nor for criminalizing suicide. The issue of criminalizing suicide is the affairs of the human social order which basically are beast nations everyall of them.
In the laws of many nations even to this modern day, suicide, the killing of oneself, is criminalized. Now let be clear I am not against nor for criminalizing suicide. The issue of criminalizing suicide is the affairs of the human social order which basically are beast nations everyall of them.
What the 'beast' symbolism as an analogy (the meaning or representation in analogy as a figure of speech) in the doctrine, message and communiqué of the Scripture of Truth, is all human beings behaving exactly like animals (because they lusted uncontrollably to) are from mostly to totally, left by GOD to their own lust seeded, fueled and driven intents and behaviors consuming one another and being consume by one another, as predators and parasites.
The criminalizing of suicide has its roots in the doctrines of the three main and earlier (because the shifters, shakers, movers, shapers and makers who have been the proclaimed and acclaimed Superlatives of the human social order has recently within the last thirty years or so, added and proclaimed another pagan religion of the world and designated it as also a) so called Abrahamic religions.
Sadly even the Church of GOD (undermined since when possibly even from as early as the Pergamos era) also totally bought this evil doctrine of the three earlier so called Abrahamic religion bait, hook, line and sinker.
And this is the doctrine that if someone (or for the Church of GOD, a "converted" true Christian) sinned and did not repent of it and they die, they will go straight to the forever salvage and sadistic torture of hell (as per the doctrine of at least the two largest so called Abrahamic religion with a combine total subscribing followers of over three billions, today) or eternal perdition (as per the doctrine of the Church of GOD possibly from as early as the Pergamos era).
But of course this evil doctrine of suicide equals hell or perdition, has not been the only evil doctrine of the so called Abrahamic religions which the Church of GOD (meaning the true Elect even many but not all those called and ordained to the role and position of Messengers to the Church in all seven eras, the Wheat analogy not just the Tares of the Parables of the Wheat and Tares) has totally bought bait, hook, line and sinker.
One of the most recent of this (proclaimed in a publication of the Church) was in circa. 2007 and 2008 C.E. when the Church of GOD in Laodicea (second Administration) declared that the love of GOD is unconditional. But this, of the Elect and even Messengers to the Church of GOD, totally buying into the evil and blasphemous doctrines of the so called Abrahamic religions belongs to a multiparts or multi posts discussion proper so will not be discussed further here.
Here let it be clear that not all sins lead to eternal death (aka eternal perdition) only those that blaspheme the HOLY SPIRIT and those involving willfully (i.e. refusing to repent on being corrected by GOD through HIS servants, from) breaking the Everlasting New Covenant which includes hardening one's heart at GOD's correction sent through HIS servants the Prophets.
Iconic examples in the Scriptures of those who willfully and who often also pretend stupidity on being corrected refusing to repent from their sins despite rebukes from GOD through HIS Prophets were the Prophet Balaam, the high priest Eli, and King Saul.
If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin which does not lead to death, he will ask, and He will give him life for those who commit sin not leading to death. There is sin leading to death. I do not say that he should pray about that. All unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin not leading to death.
1 John 5:16 – 17
“Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men. Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come.
Matthew 12:31 – 32
So no, committing suicide even when it is a sin (and no, not all acts of suicides are sins but only those seeded and fueled by lust such as those out of self pity, out of acrimony, as an act to murder or harm others, and all such) do not lead to eternal perdition whether automatically or not automatically.

Will Of GOD, Act Of God

Entry Added 2020 04 03
The phrase 'the writing is on the wall' or 'writing on the wall' and also 'days are numbered' are concepts from the Book of Daniel of the Christian Holy Scriptures.
In the same hour the fingers of a man’s hand appeared and wrote opposite the lampstand on the plaster of the wall of the king’s palace; and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote.
Daniel 5:5
In the Scriptures the verse record a sign from GOD to rebuke (not as a warning but a judgment) pronouncing the punishment (from GOD) for King Belshazzar's brazen and blatant blasphemy in willfully in great arrogance refusing in deliberated stupidity to give the due praise and glory to GOD.
The entire account is also a condemnation of all who knowing the truth (and this applies to near all who have been following the discussions of this work) about GOD but have willfully refused (Matthew 12:36; John 10:25, 37; 9:41) to give the due gratitude to acknowledge and honor GOD (Malachi 4:1 – 4; 3:8) but chose to continue on in deliberated stupidity (Matthew 10:14 – 15; Mark 6:11).
And this is the inscription that was written:
MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.
This is the interpretation of each word. MENE: God has numbered your kingdom, and finished it; TEKEL: You have been weighed in the balances, and found wanting; PERES: Your kingdom has been divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.
Daniel 5:25 – 28 (Note that 'the writing on the wall' was clearly and explicitly interpreted by the Prophet Daniel, but many including the first Messenger to the Church of GOD, and also many of the leadership among the Elect of the last two eras of the Church of GOD, have added in their own twists and spins to the doctrine of William Miller to proclaim their own supreme 'calculation' and 'understanding' as to when, in what year, the end of the world will happen).
That incidence was GOD's rebuke of the King Belshazzar to pronounce (as a judgment) the end of his kingdom (Luke 12:18 – 20), to all the things he gave boosted, gloried and trusted in, while he in willful deliberated stupidity in blatant and brazen refusal to acknowledge and give the due praise and honor to (Daniel 5:22 – 23) GOD.
In contemporary usage both terms have been used to describe the certainty andor obviousness of things as either or both, happening or going to happen, and additionally for the second term the meaning is on when something or someone is going to, as a certainty, see their end. However the common usage are seldom if ever about a pronouncement of judgment by GOD. which is the main emphasis in that passage of Scriptures.
What has been wrong with the usage in the human social order is they all exactly like King Belshazzar, essentially and also totally disregard GOD who gave them their lives and the (mostly conducive) environment to sustain their lives, starting with the very breath that they draw in seconds by seconds.

The mark of the Beast (in Revelation 13) is one of the most misinterpreted symbolism of the Christian Holy Scriptures.
Misinterpreted either from deliberated stupidity or massive stupidity, or both. The reasons for either or both, has/have been because of ego supergorging lust and an from refusing to believe GOD because of a evil heart of disbelieve and distrust of GOD (and anyall things recorded in the Scripture of Truth) contrary to their very loud, brazen and explicit proclamation of being the ultra mega super duper mega faithful of GOD.
Here in screenshot 1 and 2 are a couple of takes on what this Mark of the Beast is. One is from Wikipedia (as a collection of the most authoritative views) and the other from the website Christianity.com which implied a commonly held view of Protestant so called Christianity.
The collection of "authoritative" takes from Wikipedia as at 2021 08 04 (please click on image to enlarge)
Screenshot of the take of Christianity.com (click on image to enlarge)
Additionally to the "authoritative" takes collected and published by Wikipedia and the take of mainstream Protestant (so called) Christianity there are of course those of mainstream Catholic (so called) Christianity and the rest of mainstream orthodox (so called) Christianity, there are also literally tons of other takes by all the two (but now three) so called Abrahamic religions. All of which are not listed in this post.
Aside from all these (above) there also tons of takes by the multitudes of humankind from all the other acknowledged (as of mainstream views and beliefs) proclaimed and acclaimed Superlatives of all "knowledge" disciplines who are the shifters, shakers, movers, shapers and makers of the human social order, plus all the rest of humankind with inclinations towards alternative to conspiracy theories. All these other takes too are listed here in this post.
Why Is The Mark Of Beast 666?
Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.
Revelation 13:18
Isn't it clear that the Mark of the Beast is the number of a man (includes woman)? But what is the number of man, does anyone (reading this) know? Is the number of man '666'?
No.
The number of man (includes woman) is 6 because man (includes woman) was created on the sixth day of (re)creation week.
So why then '666'?
Is the number of the blasphemous Trinity religion of the beast kingdom founded and seeded by Nimrod (6), his wife (6) and their son (6), the originators of the Babylonian Mystery religion which is the archetype to all the religions invented by humankind including and especially the Triune God of the Christmas religion (the doctrine of Trinity, a three in one God of the Creed of Nicaea). Nimrod making himself the first human king thus a god king, and his wife spun it into the first pagan religion in the human social order.
And no, the number of GOD is not 777 neither the number of JESUS CHRIST 888. Nor is it 2 as proclaimed by the first Messenger to the Church of GOD in Philadelphia.
Deuteronomy 6:4
I and My Father are one.
John 10:30
I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.
John 17:23 The number of GOD and also the LORD JESUS CHRIST is ONE (Deuteronomy 6:4; John 10:30). And also the number all those who are of GOD, one. Also the number of perfection (John 17:23) is not seven (7) but one (1). Seven (7) is the number of completion, completed (i.e. finished) or completely (Genesis 2:1 – 3) as the recreation aka renew of the planet for humankind made in the image and likeness of GOD was done with the last creation being the Sabbath (the seventh day).
In the original texts of the Old Covenant, the concept of perfect and complete carried the same meaning in some contexts of usage but not in all contexts. Complete carried the meaning of not lacking or not deficient, while perfect carried the meaning of absolutely without any undesired traits, attributes or properties (symbolically — blemishes andor defects).
and not for that nation only, but also that He would gather together in one the children of God who were scattered abroad.
John 11:52
that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth—in Him.
Ephesians 1:10
Number one is about the Beast not so much as about the number 666.
Number two is about worship, who you worship not so much as about some marks. Whether you worship GOD or you worship anyall other things such as men (includes women and children), objects or even just concepts and ideas, all of which that is not GOD.
So in this case it is about worshiping the Beast. Read the post 'The Beast And The Ten Kings' in the blog to find out who is this (particular) Beast.
But the rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and idols of gold, silver, brass, stone, and wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk. And they did not repent of their murders or their sorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts.
Revelation 9:20 – 21
And worship is about obeying, who you choose to obey (Romans 6:16) in anything and everything from just agreeing with, all the way to buying into (bait, line, hook and sinker) whatever they are pushing so totally that you are pushing them to all others to get all others to believe, obey and push them too) what they tell you.
Basically then the mark of the Beast is less about what the mark is but totally about who the Beast is. Without this specific Beast there is no point to the mark, the mark of the Beast would be just a pointless and meaningless thing. This is something that is very simple which not a single one of those who proclaim and publish their takes on what the mark of the Beast do not appear to have even the most remotest of clue on. They have all gone chasing shadows and totally ignoring the only substance.
Of course it being all about the Beast has to do not so much with who this Beast is (what is her name, how she looks and her other personal attributes) but crucially about what this Beast is about, what this Beast is out to do or carry out, when she arrives on the world's religious, political, military and economic stage at the appointed time.
Here again we see a whole world of humankind (all those who weighed in to proclaim their supreme takes on the Mark of the Beast) all being total myopic rules-based hairsplitters lost sight of the forest for the trees, over just one single tree. Being so massively stupid from an evil heart of unbelieve, how then can they possibly understand anything about the Truth from GOD.
Followed on knowing that it is not so much about the Mark (what it is( but more about the Beast, and then not so much who this specific Beast (i.e. her physical attributes) but critically about what she will do or carry out. There are other similarly important things to know about this specific Beast is such as how she will come about to be the Beast, the signs of her (appointed) rising to power and about the appointed time (i.e. period of time, or era) of her rising to power.
The Most Important Thing To Know About The Mark Of The Beast
If you research through all that is written about the Mark of the Beast would you be able to learn about the one most single most important that will definitively identify what this Mark of the Beast will be?
If you can agree (and never mind if you can't) about the Mark of the Beast is it will (as well as, can) come to effect and be effective after the Beast began to be worship by the nations (meaning by many to most, not by a few). And this worship by the nations will only happen after she has been mortally wounded (Revelation 13:3, 4).
But is not all (before the Mark of the Beast will or can come into effect). There is still another Beast but had came out of the 'earth' (Revelation 13:11) and not from the 'sea' as all the other Beasts (Revelation 13:1) as indeed even the Beast is the eight Beast who is from the seven Beasts (Revelation 17:11).
Now this other Beast from the 'earth' (not the eight Beast nor any of the seven Beasts which will rise from the 'sea') will be the one who will introduced the Mark of the Beast, but only after he had got the nations to make an Image of the Beast (the eight) after she (the eighth Beast) has been mortally wound and the mortal wound supernaturally healed completely.
So we have these sequences of events that must first come to pass, happen or take place in order first before there can even be a Mark of the Beast.
But of course these events (mentioned above) are not the only sequences of events which must first happen before the Mark of the Beast will have a point and purpose to it, there are also sequences of events that first must happen, come to pass or take place before even these Beasts (the seven Beast followed by the eighth) will arise. You can read about all these things in the discussions of this work.
