Quah, Q. C. H. (2022, August 10). Blind Faith And Christianity. A Christian Pilgrimage. https://achristianpilgrimage.blogspot.com/2022/08/blind-faith-and-christianity.html
You probably have heard people saying that Christianity requires 'blind faith'? This has, in fact, been one of the doctrines from the Christmas religion for centuries, though today some sects and denominations of the Christmas religion have rejected this ancient doctrine of the Great Harlot Church and of the founding fathers of their sects and denominations.
These are now proclaiming the doctrine of 'reasoning', 'focused' or 'trusting/solid foundation' faith. But if you asked me, these are all just double speak (i.e. coming up a new spin and twist of their blasphemous ancient doctrine of blind faith). Their doctrine on blind faith has been a foundation implicit doctrine of the Christmas religion since its beginning days in Simon the Sorcerer (Acts 8:9 – 11) through to the days of their founding in the Council of Nicene by the Creed of Nicaea, and down the centuries even to this very day.
Note to this discussion. If you have not been a regular reader (who have read most of the discussions) of this work and so not familiar with much of the symbolic language (i.e. figurative language of the Christian Holy Scripture, of which the Holy Christian Scriptures are filled with) in analogies, allegories, metaphors, etc., in order to appreciate the many references and terms made in this work to Scripture verses and passages: of beasts, women, harlots, the Elect, the Promised Land, wings like the wings of storks, etc.; what are their actual meaning, (and not the mostly nonsense postulated on the internet by all the proclaimed and acclaimed Superlatives of the so called Christian Bible or so called Christian religion) you will need to read up the discussions on these in other posts of this work, particularly (but not exclusively) the post, 'The Keys To Unlocking The Mystery Part IV: Symbolism Of The Scriptures'.
Does The Scriptures Command 'Blind' Faith?
Apparently (or so it seems) that many verses or passages of Scriptures 'actually' command 'blind faith', or so many had claimed.
Scriptures passages such as:
For we walk by faith, not by sight.
2 Corinthians 5:7
Jesus said to him, “Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
John 20:29
So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Romans 10:17
For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.”
Romans 1:17
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Hebrews 11:1
So yes it is true if you read Scriptures verses and passages in isolation as pieces of unrelated and unconnected information standing on its own having no relevancy to a whole complete message with many threads. Then yes the Scriptures would seem to teach blind faith. But that is the moronic way of reading the Scriptures or for the matter, reading anything important at all.
When we look into any subject matter or topic particularly one that is complex (but not necessarily complicated) with many contexts and facets/aspects, we need to gather all the information first before carefully considering all that needed to be considered then only making some conclusion on what the subject or topic is about, and what its says about anything within its scope.
What Is Proof If Not In Evidences?
If I (or someone) comes to you and tell you that your house was on fire and had burnt to the ground and you quickly rushed home and found that your house had indeed burned to the ground. It that not evidence and proof that what I (or someone) who told you so, was telling the truth?
What if I come to you and tell you that the next day at noon a fireball from the heavens (i.e. space) will fall down on your house and burn it down, and exactly as I told you, the very next day it happened? Would that not count as evidence and proof that I spoke the truth to you the day before it happened? And if the evidences and proofs are right before your eyes and so you believe me, is it still said that you believe me in 'blind' faith?
Now (hypothetically and not actually) what if I told you that a man will soon come to you claiming (without offering any proof except by frightening and threatening you that you will go to hell when you die to be sadistically tortured forever if you don't do as he commanded and decreed) that he was The prophet of the GOD of Abraham, and that "you are to give him all your very young daughters to be his wives, and you and all your sons are to take up arms to fight and die killing his enemies for him. But not to fear if you should die because when you do die, you and your sons will go to heaven and his God will reward each of you with unimagined riches as well to have sex orgies with copious dozens of virtual virgins forever." And exactly as I told you, a man came to you and told you exactly that. Would not that count as evidence and proof that what I told you is truth?
And indeed would you not know it, that exactly has been what one of the so called Abrahamic religions been telling its subscribing disciples since its founding to this very day. And indeed many of the lust driven massively stupid among humankind had actually believed that and kill themselves (doing the bidding of the proclaimed and acclaimed Superlatives of this so called Abrahamic religion) believing in lust fueled insanity that they will actually go to heaven to have forever sex orgies with copious dozens of virtual virgins, thus blaspheming (in their hearts and minds) the GOD of Abraham in explicitly making HIM out as the evil deceiver and tempter, Satan the Devil.
And if the evidences and proofs are there before your very eyes, are you still just depending on blind faith when you believe me that what I told you was true?
And that is exactly how (and why) anyone who says that Christianity requires blind faith is just a massive moron who had been totally brainwashed by the doctrines of the evil blasphemous Christmas religion.
Not Without Evidences And Proofs
When the ALMIGHTY CREATOR of all there is, sent the Prophet Moses to free the ancient Israelites from their bondage in Egypt after they cried to HIM the GOD of their fathers, the Scriptural Patriarch Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, HE did not do so (free them from their bondage) and to bring them into the Old Covenant with HIM, without numerous proofs that HE is GOD ALMIGHTY.
The Prophet Moses performed many powerful signs and miracles to bring the mighty Egyptians to their knees forcing them to let the Israelite go. And even as HE allowed Pharaoh to change his mind and pursue after them, HE did one final miracle against the army of Pharaoh in parting the Red Sea that the Israelite fleeing Pharaoh's army could flee through the sea as if it was dry land. HE then drown the army of Pharaoh so that that was the last those Israelite heard or seen of them again.
Neither did the miracles and wonderous signs stopped with the destruction of Pharaoh's army but for the remainder of the times the ancient Israelites were in the wilderness, miracles and wonderous signs were with them on a daily basis in the pillar of Cloud by day and pillar of Fire by night as well as the bread or manna from Heaven which fed them daily for forty years (aside from numerous other miracles and wonderous signs) until the children of the ancient Israelites entered into to begin taking possession of the Promised Land.
But did you note the one most important thing about all these miraculous and wonderous signs? That is correct, the only purpose all of these signs (as evidences and proofs from the ALMIGHTY GOD) really did was that they served only to convict everyall (except for Joshua and Caleb) of these totally lust driven ancient Israelites until the very last of them died in the wilderness because of their evil heart of disbelieve. They all died in the wilderness and they never entered into to take possession of the Promised Land but their children (all those under the age of twenty at the time they left Egypt, freed from their bondage) and Joshua and Caleb.
Then the Lord said to Moses: “How long will these people reject Me? And how long will they not believe Me, with all the signs which I have performed among them?
Numbers 14:11
What this would (or should anyway) teach us is that with the totally lust driven (which are all of humankind today including nearly all the Elect of GOD today, as well as from since the beginning) miracles and signs (i.e. evidences and absolute without a shadow of doubt proofs) do not build in anyone (even a nano speck of) the faith that believe GOD.
Instead miracles and signs (which are evidences and proofs) have only one purpose where all the lust driven humankind and nearly all the Elect of today, are concerned. And this is to convict them to their perdition (in this lifetime for all humankind, while for most of the Elect of GOD their 'martyrdom' in a Baptism of Fire in the coming Tribulation).
Were not all these miracles (and even more after that) evidences and proofs and not just blind faith? So what are they (all the massive morons) talking about when they said that (true) Christianity required blind faith.
Likewise when JESUS CHRIST, the SON of the ALMIGHTY GOD, came born as a SON of a man to mediate the New Covenant, offering eternal life to make redemption and salvation available to all humankind, HE did not do so without miracles and signs (i.e. evidences and proofs) of HIS ministry that HE was the LAMB of GOD sacrificed (to die paying the death penalty for sins which all humankind have incurred) for humankind that forgiveness of sins and eternal life will become available to all who truly believe and sincerely repent.
The four Gospel accounts (as well as the rest of the New Covenant's Scriptures) listed numerous evidences and proofs (in signs, miracles and Prophetic visions) performed by JESUS as the proofs that HE is indeed the SON of GOD came down from Heaven to mediate the New Covenant in HIS BLOOD which HE would shed as HE died as the Sacrificial LAMB of GOD who takes away the sins of the world.
If I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe Me; but if I do, though you do not believe Me, believe the works, that you may know and believe that the Father is in Me, and I in Him.”
John 10:37 – 38
“Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a Man attested by God to you by miracles, wonders, and signs which God did through Him in your midst, as you yourselves also know—
Acts 2:22
Yet the lust driven explicitly evil, self expedient full of themselves religious authorities and Jews of the Gospel years in total deliberated stupidity and lust fueled insanity kept asking JESUS CHRIST for a sign that HE is the MESSIAH and MEDIATOR of The Covenant, in total and complete deliberated stupidity ignoring all the signs and miracles (John 10:37 – 38; Acts 2:22) JESUS CHRIST performed during HIS three and a half ministry that affirmed and confirmed without a shadow of doubt that HE was the MESSIAH PRINCE and MEDIATOR of The Covenant sent by GOD (John 10:37 – 38; Acts 2:22) as exactly prophesied by the Scriptures.
As with the ancient Israelites freed from their Egyptian bondage, so too with all those of the times of the First Advent. Hundreds to thousands were healed, many had demons driven out of them, a few were brought back to life by JESUS CHRIST in HIS three and a year ministry. Tens of thousands were direct eye witnesses to the miracles and wonderous signs HE performed. Except for some a hundred and twenty (from the some five hundred who were eye witnesses to HIM alive after HE was dead three days and three nights), all the miracles and wonderous signs served to do with these extreme lust driven Jews were only to convict them all. And for this reason, many of these perish in the siege of Jerusalem some forty years later.
Now if you being a scoffing and mocking disbelieving blasphemer insist that all the records of the miracles performed by the Prophet Moses and the LORD JESUS CHRIST were all just myths and fables, too impossible to be believed, there were still tons of other evidences and proofs in the records of the Scripture of Truth, especially those prophecies where many of the events prophesied have already come to pass, with many of them quite recently, and yet more soon coming to pass that showed and proved that GOD ALMIGHTY of the Holy Christian Scriptures indeed is in control of events in the world of humankind.
When this author was called in 1987 C.E. (or at the end of 1986 C.E., I am not too clear on this as it was a long time ago and my memory fades), there were no miracles and wonderous signs to cause me to fear and believe. All that it takes was GOD bringing me to remembrance all that I have learned about HIM when I was in my tween. An understanding of the Truth was all it takes to bring me to believe and repent.
When I was called by GOD (in a dream) to testify against the (first) Messenger to the Church of GOD in Laodicea (who was also the second Messenger to the Church of Philadelphia), there were no miracles and wonderous signs (other than the dream).
All I needed was the understanding of the Truth given to me in the dream that the one I testified to and against would die because he would refused to repent. A truth that was fulfilled almost immediately when that Messenger was diagnosed with bone cancer within a month of my writing to him warning him of his impending death if he refused to repent and turn from his sins.
And exactly as I had warned him, within seven months of that same year of my testimony, he died for his sins and from refusing to repent. This (his 'sudden' illness and death) is actually public record which you can still find on the internet. So it is not blind faith but solid, irrefutable evidence and proof of what I was given to understand some seven months before the actual event took place.
Likewise too when I testified against the Worthless Shepherd of the Sheep (Zechariah 11:16 – 17) in 2005, 2007 and finally in 2008 C.E., there were no miraculous and wonderous signs. All I needed was the understanding of the Truth given by the HOLY SPIRIT.
And exactly as I was given to understand (by the HOLY SPIRIT) his lackey (who was the regional director of my Church area) whom the Worthless Shepherd instructed to kick me out of his Church of GOD, died some five years later in 2013 C.E.. And would you not know it, that Worthless Shepherd, will be struck, losing his right eye and arm (Zechariah 11:17). But this is yet many years from now. When it happens as it surely will, I hope all those faithless unbelieving with an evil heart of unbelief who have read about all these things here in this work, will not continue in their unbridled lust to refuse to believe.
Similarly, this work which I labored through 'hell and high waters' over this last some thirteen years, all I needed was the wonderful understanding of the Truth given by the HOLY SPIRIT.
This work has unveiled (i.e. disclosed and discussed) many of the things never before understood by anyone else.
Even things very, very plainly, clearly and explicitly recorded in the Scripture of Truth are continued on being not understood, things such as:
Numerous symbolism in metaphor, analogies and allegories never before (until this work disclosed and discussed them) understood by anyone else;
The prophecies of Daniel 7 which everyone (even to this day in 2022 C.E., all who have not read them in this work, including the one true Church of GOD) have continued on to erroneously proclaimed them as the exact same prophecies of the dream vision (but in different imageries) of Nebuchadnezzar in Daniel 2 of the four world ruling Kingdoms of Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece and Rome;

and many, many more, all plainly, simply, explicitly in explicative clarity disclosed and discussed in this work.
Yet to this very day, among all those who have read them in this work, all have continued on with an evil heart of unbelief (Hebrew 3:12) refusing to believe and to obey the Truth testified to in this work.
while it is said:
“Today, if you will hear His voice,
Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”
For who, having heard, rebelled? Indeed, was it not all who came out of Egypt, led by Moses? Now with whom was He angry forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose corpses fell in the wilderness? And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who did not obey? So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
Hebrew 3:15 – 19
Today, if you will hear His voice:
“Do not harden your hearts, as in the rebellion,
As in the day of trial in the wilderness,
When your fathers tested Me;
They tried Me, though they saw My work.
For forty years I was grieved with that generation,
And said, ‘It is a people who go astray in their hearts,
And they do not know My ways.’
So I swore in My wrath,
‘They shall not enter My rest.’ ”
Psalm 95:7 – 11 (also Hebrews 3:7 – 11)
But yet there have been miracles and wonderous signs which sustained me, which if I were to tell anyone, would anyone believe? And indeed I have wrote about some of the miracles (i.e. signs and wonders) in some of the discussions of this work, miracles has helped (andor encouraged) me, easing my many troubles and mitigating many of the attacks of Satan the Devil on the person of the author and on the facilities of this work. But has has anyone at all, believe and obey?
This work is not a work base on blind faith but on the empowering evidences and proofs of the Truth in the Living WORD of GOD.
Tons Of Other Evidences And Proofs In The Scripture of Truth
The Scriptures itself gives us tons of evidences (and consequently proofs) of what it recorded are true. For one, there were some over forty persons who were either direct (first or second person witnesses) or indirect eye (third person) witnesses who recorded them, aside from those who made and maintained copies of these original works. But that is not all, just the very tip of a giant iceberg of evidences and proofs.
Modern history did not begin to be kept until the time around the Industrial Revolution (around 17th and 18th century C.E.) though many ancients nations, kingdoms and empires did keep some records of all the major events during their rule particularly their kingly exploits.
Whereas the Scripture of Truth had been a historical records from day one (of around 1600 B.C.E.) when these Scriptures began to be recorded by the Prophet Moses and the scribes thousands of years before secular historians appeared and started unearthing 'evidences' of the history recorded by the Scripture of Truth.
Numerous historical accounts of Egypt and her Pharaohs, the Assyrian empire, the Babylonian empire, the Medo-Persian empire (the second world ruling empire of Nebuchadnezzar's dream), the Greco empire under Alexander the Great and those after him (the third world ruling empire of Nebuchadnezzar's dream), and Imperial Rome (the fourth world ruling empire, with her seven resurrections/manifestations as further prophesied by the Apostle John), were all recorded in the Scripture of Truth thousands of years before secular historian were even born yet let alone started to learn about them. Many of these were recorded as prophecies before the event took place.
It should be understood that from the perspective of the Scripture of Truth, a world ruling empire must be the one that also exercised political rule over the nation(s) of the people of GOD aka the Elect of GOD. During the Old Covenant period these were the ancient Kingdom of Israel and Judah as well as the vassal nation of the Jews after their return from their Babylonian captivity. During the New Covenant people these people of GOD are the Elect of the New Covenant in the one true Church of GOD.
The Scriptural records contain records of history (i.e. historical evidences) whenever these historical events overlap with the history of the ancient Kingdoms of Israel and Judah and also later the vassal nation (of Rome) of the Jews after these two ancient kingdoms ended by GOD for their persistent unfaithfulness in not honoring but instead breaking their Covenant with GOD made in Mont Sinai mediated by the Prophet Moses.
Even the vassal nation (aka Herodian Kingdom of Judea) were ended (some forty years later) after their (i.e. the Jews which consist of the tribe of Judah, Benjamin and Levi) Covenant, the Old Covenant, ended which the death of JESUS CHRIST (as the sacrificial LAMB of GOD who takes away the sins of the world) who was the LORD GOD of that Covenant.
Even before the ancient Israelites entered into to take possession of the Promised Land (the land promised to Abraham as the inheritance of his progeny) Moses had prophesied of their end (some around eight hundred years before the final event) of both the ancient Kingdom of Israel and Judah (Deuteronomy 4:25 – 28; 31:29) because of their prophesied and then actual persistent unfaithfulness in breaking the Covenant they have entered into with the LORD GOD.
Despite the fact that many of these historical facts and events were already written hundreds to thousands of years before (modern) historian appeared in the social order of humankind to begin their works discovering about many of these events (long already recorded in the Scripture of Truth) many to most historian (who only came around hundreds to thousands of years after the fact) to this very day still adamantly refused to believe or recognize them (as historical facts) even as many of the things recorded had been absolutely been proven and confirmed by the modern historians themselves.
One of the biggest proofs to the truth recorded in the Scriptures, are in prophecies, a telling of something (i.e. some events) before they happen. Some of these events were revealed from hundreds to thousands of years before they happen (many of which are still future to today). And eachall of these prophesied events have happened and will happen, exactly as foretold at their appointed time.
Of particular note is the Prophecies in the Book of Daniel which many to most historian claimed (without any basis at all except that they lusted uncontrollably to) that they were written (i.e. recorded) after the fact insisting that Book of Daniel was not written by the Prophet Daniel and the men of GOD of his times but were written much later long after the prophesied events had already taken place.
This they do without a shred of evidence or proof excepted they lusted uncontrollably to believe that it is so (i.e. written in the third century B.C.E. instead of the sixth which was the time of the Prophet Daniel's life and work as also affirmed and validated by the Prophet Ezekiel). This has been also just as also many who have read this work, too have lusted uncontrollably so that they can refuse to believe all the things disclosed and discussed plainly, simply and very explicitly in explicative clarity such that no one sane can have any rational and valid reason to even doubt let alone to dispute the truth testified to in this work.
The prophecies on the Medo-Persian and the Greco empire (under Alexander the Great) were prophesied by the Prophet Daniel (andor one of his three friends) during their Babylonian captivity before these two empire sprung up decades to centuries later respectively.
But even if we were to grant them (these lusted seeded, fueled and driven modern historians) the without basis blasphemous lies that the prophecies on the Medo-Persian empire and the Greco empire in the Book of Daniel were written after the fact (in the 3rd century B.C.E. instead of in the 6th century B.C.E.) which they weren't, there still remained many other prophecies by the Prophet Daniel including the prophecies of the (first) coming of JESUS CHRIST and HIS ministry to mediate the New Covenant where HE (i.e. the PRINCE of that prophecy) will be cut off in three and a half years with HIS death.
Then what about the siege of Jerusalem and the destruction of the temple in 70 C.E. (Daniel 9:26) which were also revealed in the prophecy of Daniel, as also the rise of Imperial Rome (the fourth Kingdom of Nebuchadnezzar's dream) to also rule over Judea.
“And after the sixty-two weeks
Messiah shall be cut off, but not for Himself;
And the people of the prince who is to come
Shall destroy the city and the sanctuary.
The end of it shall be with a flood,
And till the end of the war desolations are determined.
Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week;
But in the middle of the week
He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering.
And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate,
Even until the consummation, which is determined,
Is poured out on the desolate.”
Daniel 9:26 – 27
The remainder of the prophesied seven years (as per the week prophesied by the Prophet Daniel (Daniel 9:27); read about how in prophecy a day represents a physical lunar year in the post, 'The Keys To Unlocking The Mystery Part IV' in the blog. 'The Holy Bible Expounded') which is three and a half years will be fulfilled at JESUS Second Coming/Advent, when HE will return to destroy the wicked, restoring the Kingdom (of GOD) to the Promised Land.
Aside from the prophecies of the Prophet Daniel on the first coming/advent of the MESSIAH PRINCE (Daniel 9:25; second to last sentence of Malachi 3:1 and second sentence of Malachi 4:5) and MEDIATOR (Daniel 9:27; second to last sentence of Malachi 3:1) of The (New) Covenant, other Prophets of the LORD GOD of the Christian Holy Scriptures also prophesied of HIS coming including the advent (the one) to announce HIS coming, John the Baptist (Isaiah 40:3; Malachi 4:5 – 6, and first sentence of Malachi 3:1).
It should be understood that many of the prophecies in the Christian Holy Scriptures are Dual, having two or more fulfillments. One or more as the Type (aka a similitude) and another (usually but not always the last, the Actual).
Malachi 3 verses 2 and 3 refers as also verse 1 too, to the Second Coming/Advent as the Actual while Malachi 3 verse 1 is Dual, referring to both the First and Second Advent. The entirety of the Book of Malachi has two fulfillment - one on the First Advent of JESUS CHRIST as the Type and the second fulfillment the Actual, the Second Coming, with some verses and passages referring to the First Advent (as the Type fulfillment) and all the verses also referring to the Second Advent (as the Actual fulfillment).
That is why to this day most historian adamantly insist that JESUS CHRIST was a myth for no other reason than then because they lusted uncontrollably to, so that they refuse to believe all these fulfilled prophecies of the First Advent/Coming, and consequently deny that they will be a Second Advent to the ends that all of humankind who chose to believe them, these lust driven historians, will die in the soon coming punishing plagues unleased by a returning CHRIST against all wicked unbelieving and unrepentance (Revelation 9:20, 21; 16:9, 11) humankind thus fulfilling all the prophecies in the Scriptures on the Day of the LORD of the Scripture of Truth.
Imagine if you will, that a group of people led by a core group of mostly illiterate (or not very literate) fishermen together with some previously unrelated (who did not know each other outside of this so claimed, by these lust fueled historians, elaborate scheme) who were more literate, all coming together to concoct an extremely elaborate and detailed hoax (covering some sixty to seventy years of their own lives, and particularly the three and a half years ministry of JESUS CHRIST including HIS death, resurrection and return to the Third Heaven.
Then carrying on (to built on further) with this extremely elaborate and detailed hoax (in a trove of letters aka Epistles and other records) until the end of the lives, with most of them dying gruesome death (for this so claimed hoax) at the hands of their own compatriot or the Romans, all recorded as the New Covenant Scriptures.
An extremely elaborate and detailed hoax to say that all these prophecies of of the Old Covenant period recorded in the books of Daniel, Isaiah and Malachi came to pass (i.e. true) in a so claimed (by these lust fueled historians) mythical JESUS CHRIST, the LORD GOD of the Old Covenant period, born as a SON of man to the end that HE could be murdered (dying as the LAMB of GOD who gave HIS life for the sins of humankind in order to redeemed them from the death penalty which all have incurred because of their sins) by the Romans at the behest of the Jewish religious authorities.
During the days around the Gospel times, both before and after, because the Jews and their religious authorities (from not understanding the Scriptures because of their self expedient selective readings, which incidentally is something nearly everyone does, including Apostles of GOD and Messengers to the one true Church of GOD) were expecting the MESSIAH PRINCE's advent (though their beliefs were in error, more related to a military leader which is the prophecies on the Second Advent not the First).
And the angel answered and said to him, “I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God, and was sent to speak to you and bring you [d]these glad tidings. But behold, you will be mute and not able to speak until the day these things take place, because you did not believe my words which will be fulfilled in their own time.”
And the people waited for Zacharias, and marveled that he lingered so long in the temple. But when he came out, he could not speak to them; and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple, for he beckoned to them and remained speechless.
Luke 1:19 – 22
Then fear came on all who dwelt around them; and all these sayings were discussed throughout all the hill country of Judea. And all those who heard them kept them in their hearts, saying, “What kind of child will this be?” And the hand of the Lord was with him.
Luke 1:65 – 66
This was because the Christian Holy Scriptures (the Old Covenant Scriptures which were also the Scriptures of the Jews of the Gospel times) in the Book of Daniel prophesied of a very specific timeframe (Daniel 9:25) when the prophesied MESSIAH PRINCE would arrive ('to establish a Covenant' — Daniel 9:12) which was exactly around the years of the Gospel times.
Further signs of the MESSIAH PRINCE's advent (Luke 1:5 – 25, 57 – 64, 65 – 66), in the person of John the Baptist, to announce the arrival of the MESSIAH PRINCE, were also revealed to the Jews of those times. So during those times around the Gospel years, there was a palpable expectation of the advent of the MESSIAH PRINCE of Daniel's prophecies (Daniel 9:24 – 27) and also that of Malachi's (Malachi 3:1; 4:5 – 6), as well as from the prophecies of many other Prophets of the Old Covenant period.
A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign shall be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.” And He left them and departed.
Matthew 16:4 (similarly 12:39)
But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, “Brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
Matthew 3:7
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
Serpents, brood of vipers! How can you escape the condemnation of hell?
Matthew 23:33
Only the full of themselves ignorant and evil (Matthew 16:4; 12:39; 12:34; 24:33) Jews because of their unbelief, wickedness and unfaithfulness, were expecting, a military ruler coming as their king to deliver them from the Romans and to restore to the Promised Land the (ancient) Kingdom of Israel.
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
And as would be expected in the social order of humankind, during those times, many arose to laid claims to being the Messiah Prince (Matthew 11:12) which the Jews were awaiting to deliver them from the Romans. Needless to say, all of these perished, all suffering the same fate at the hands of the Romans (and also the Jewish religious authorities, when those laying such claims to be the awaited Messiah Prince, did not meet with the approval).

So now tell me, all you lusts fueled and driven historians, why haven't any of these numerous false Messiah Prince around the Gospel time, both before and after the three and a half years ministry of JESUS CHRIST, and all the followers, came to anything at all, but instead all of them came to naught? Why were there no extensive writings by their followers of their teachings and exploits that were preserved by succeeding generations of their followers to reach us today?
Yet a group of lowly literate to illiterate fisherman with a small group of unrelated people could (so these lusted fueled historians claimed) orchestrate this very elaborate and detailed hoax for all their lives and this so claimed (by all the lust fuel historians) hoax of these most illiterate group would survive to this day. And not just surviving to this day but would spawn two identity thieving counterfeit in the two largest religions of the world (Revelation 17:1 – 6; Zechariah 5:6 – 11).
Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and talked with me, saying to me, “Come, I will show you the judgment of the great harlot who sits on many waters, with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth were made drunk with the wine of her fornication.”
So he carried me away in the Spirit into the wilderness. And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast which was full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the filthiness of her fornication. And on her forehead a name was written:
MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT,
THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS
AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS
OF THE EARTH.
I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And when I saw her, I marveled with great amazement.
Revelation 17:3 – 6
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 5:6 – 11
Two (of three, the third woman being pagan Judaism of today) religions which the Christian Holy Scriptures explicitly prophesied of, calling them 'wickedness' (Zechariah 5:8) belonging (i.e. tracing their actual origins) not to Christianity but (actually tracing their origins) to the ancient Babylonian religion started by Nimrod (Genesis 10:8 – 11) and his wife.
Does this sound believable to you that a bunch of mostly illiterate men together with some prior unrelated people, could or would do such a thing and for such a lengthy period of time with such elaborate details, so that (i.e. to the ends and for the purpose that) almost all of them will be brutally attacked and killed by their own country men or by the Romans?
Even if you could consider the extremely unlikely and total impossibility that they indeed did, numerous questions still would need to be satisfactory answered.
Questions such as:
Why would anyone invent a figure to claim that HE is the LORD GOD of the Old Covenant born as a SON of man, a preposition so against and contrary (i.e. anathema) to the beliefs of the religious Jewish authority of those times that it would with a hundred percent certainty not just be rejected by them but would lead them to seek to kill any Jews who subscribed to such beliefs?
Why have this SON of GOD seemingly to break the Sabbath (held sacred by the Jewish zealots and religious authorities) on numerous occasions, something that would certainly antagonized the Jewish religious authorities or Jewish zealots who had structured very elaborate and detailed rules of do and don't over the Sabbath to prevent the Jews from 'breaking' the Sabbath (commandment)?
So what are these lust driven historians saying, that a bunch of mostly illiterate Jews together with some prior unrelated persons came together to concoct an extremely elaborate and detailed hoax then continued building on the hoax for all the remainder of their lives so that they could become target of persecution and be killed by the Jewish religious authorities and Jewish zealots or the Romans?
How believable is this, that a group of mostly illiterate Jews would invent such an extremely elaborate and detailed hoax for the sole purpose that they can be persecuted and killed; so that their invented hoax will later be plagiarized (in selected parts and pieces) by two pagan religions (which also were prophesied in the Christian Holy Scriptures) to grow to become the two largest religions in the world today through making them more lust worthy by promising a hedonistic heaven of sex orgies with copious dozens of virtual virgins and threatening a horrific hell of sadistic torture against all who would not fall down before them to worship them as the proclaimed and acclaimed Superlatives of these two blasphemous evil identity thieving religions? Two humongous identify thieving religions ruling over the bulk of humankind which the Christian Holy Scriptures also clearly prophesied of, some two thousand and more years ago (Zechariah 8:9 – 11; Matthew 11:12; Revelation 17:1 – 6) as coming soon after.
So have I or I have not, totally without a shadow of a doubt proven what I said about the secular historians, that they all lusted uncontrollably to disbelieve the testimonies of the Christian Holy Scriptures. This is clearly evident in their choosing in total lust fueled insanity to believe the impossible preposition that a bunch of illiterately or lowly literate fisherman would come together with some prior unrelated persons to concoct an extremely elaborate and detailed hoax (which they carried on perpetrating with extensive writings for the remainder of their lives until almost all of them were killed by either the Jewish authorities or the Romans) that GOD came down from heaven born as a SON of man so that HE could die for the sins of humankind then be resurrected back to life and returned to Heaven. And they did this so that they can become the target of persecution and 'martyrdom' at the hands of the Jewish religious authorities.
Then there were the prophecies about the fourth world ruling (the context is one nation or union of nations which exercises political power and rule over the nation that the bulk of the Elect of GOD were/are residing in, besides ruling over many other nations) empire of Nebuchadnezzar's dream (vision), which was clearly, plainly and explicitly Imperial Rome (as the first instance or manifestation) and her numerous resurrections (i.e. manifestations specifically in Europe usually with support of the Great Harlot Church of the Christmas religion), from the Gospel times through the centuries until the very last one (which will soon arise) which will be a political, military and also religious union of seven nations in Europe in the End of the Age.
And of course secular and even many religious (especially all those who are the discipleship of the Great Harlot Church) historian would in total lust seeded insanity deny that this fourth empire, signified by the legs and feet of Nebuchadnezzar's dream vision was the Imperial Roman empire. They would all (for decades to centuries, until recently) in total deliberated stupidity pretend that they do not know what warring empire this prophecy referred to, just as pagan Judaism to this day pretend in total deliberated stupidity that they do not know what the prophecy (particular the one on the first coming of the MESSIAH and how HE would be cut off in the 'middle of the week' (Daniel 9:27) aka in three and a half years per the symbolism of prophecies) in the Book of Daniel are about, proclaiming that it is about some event far in the distant future.
Of all the four world ruling empire, the fourth empire has the most significance in Scriptural prophecies. It was to the first instance (i.e. manifestation or resurrection) of this world ruling empire that JESUS CHRIST came the first time to mediate The New Covenant in HIS three and a half years ministry as the SON of man and LAMB of GOD who takes away the sins of the world. And it will be the last (the seventh) instance (manifestation or resurrection) of this world ruling empire that JESUS CHRIST will come again, returning to destroy all the wicked and to restore or reestablish the Kingdom of GOD to the Promised Land.
Even so all those (mentioned above) were not all the prophecies of the Book of Daniel much less all the prophecies of the Scripture of Truth, there are more, many of them disclosed and discussed in the other posts of this work.
Here are samples of some of the discussions on these prophecies:
The prophecies in Revelation chapters 2 and 3 on Church of GOD's journey through the centuries from her founding to the End of the Age, covering the first, the Ephesus era to the last, the Laodicea era, as prophesied in the Scriptures:
The prophecies on the Four world ruling empires focusing on the seventh and last resurrection/manifestation of the fourth kingdom of Nebuchadnezzar's dream vision, including the Beast which is the eight and is of the seventh, as prophesied in Book of Daniel and the Book of Revelation:
The prophecies of Daniel 7 on the four Beast nations (or union of nations) with the focus on the fourth beast which is also the last resurrection or manifestation of the fourth world ruling empire of Daniel 2 elaborated on in Revelation 13, at the Time of the End. Two of these (today) have already risen. Two more are set to soon rise, and when they rise the End of the Age and the Tribulation will be very close (within ten years):
The three so called Abrahamic religions prophesied in the Scriptures:
A general multi instalments discussion on the fulfilled prophecies of the Scripture of Truth, particularly (but not exclusively) those prophecies that were fulfilled during the Gospel times to this very day, plus also those which will soon be fulfilled (within the next twenty years):
The Fulfilled Prophecies Part [1] [2] [3] [4]
Other Evidences And Proofs
Now consider this author, an ex IT professional in charge of IT operations having practically zero training or experience as a writer, on being called (by GOD) to testify against the Worthless Shepherd (Zechariah 11:16 – 17) of the Sheep who is also the (second) Messenger to the Church of GOD in Laodicea, and consequently was kicked out of his Church of GOD where he sits and rule as if he was Gods, ruling in place and instead of GOD (second part only of 2 Thessalonians 2:4).
The author was then empowered by the HOLY SPIRIT with knowledge of the Mystery of the Kingdom of GOD in order to do this work unveiling (in disclosing and discussing) all the things hidden from the foundation of the world (Colossians 1:26; Mark 4:22; Matthew 10:26; Luke 8:17, 12:2).
While there too have been many miracles (signs and wonders, some of them also disclosed in this work) in the life of this author since my calling, the faith (i.e. believe and trust in GOD) of this author is neither dependent nor based or founded on these numerous miracles, but on the (the even more powerful miracles) of (the GOD) given (and HOLY SPIRIT revealed), understanding of the Truth of GOD and the knowledge of the Mystery of the Kingdom of GOD (Mark 4:11; Revelation 10:7).
Many to most of these (those that this author were given to see, understand and know and consequently to unveiled, disclosed and discussed in this work since 2009 C.E.) have been hidden (Matthew 10:26; Mark 4:2; Luke 8:17, 12:2) since the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:9, 3:9; 1 Corinthians 2:7).
And yet to this day, no one has actually believe this author, as the Scriptures also testified, 'Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will by no means believe.'
Then Jesus said to him, “Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will by no means believe.”
John 4:48
Taste And See That The LORD Is Good
Contrary to the blasphemous lies of the Christmas religions and the double speak of some of her harlot daughters, the GOD of the Christian Holy Scripture did not command much less required 'blind' faith. On the contrary, the ALMIGHTY GOD required all the Elect to be effectively intelligent which require them to thoroughly and meticulous study the Scripture of Truth to intelligently discern truth from blasphemous lies.
Test all things; hold fast what is good.
1 Thessalonians 5:21
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
1 John 4:1 (Note: Here the term 'spirit' is used in both sense, a literal sense referring Spiritual (aka Angelic or demonic) forces of evil holding sway over humankind, as well as of motives and intentions, as in 'false prophets' out to deceive in order to feed on and feed off as parasite on the gullible)
HE also required HIS Elect to test (i.e. check and verify) all things (1 Thessalonians 5:21) so as learn what is good from what is evil, to then choose that which is good and reject all that is evil.
Seek good and not evil, That you may live; So the Lord God of hosts will be with you, As you have spoken.
Amos 5:14
Let him turn away from evil and do good; Let him seek peace and pursue it.
1 Peter 3:11
The Christian faith (in GOD) is a living faith not a blind one; the faith of living (our lives founded and framed) by every word that proceeded from the mouth of GOD (Matthew 4:4; Luke 4:4; Deuteronomy 8:3).
But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ ”
Matthew 4:4 (also Luke 4:4; Deuteronomy 8:3)
The Scriptures command Christian to live (aka 'taste' in putting to the test) a life of faith obeying GOD through obeying HIS commandment of love (John 14:15, 15:10; 1 John 5:2 – 3), loving GOD with all our hearts, minds, lives and strength, and loving everyone else exactly as we love ourselves (Matthew 22:27 – 40; Mark 12:29 – 31; Luke 10:27).
Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”
Matthew 22:27 – 40 (also Mark 12:29 – 31; Luke 10:27)
Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good;
An ego mega gorger once told me that he will only believe (in the GOD of the Christian Holy Scriptures or any other Gods) if someone can do the same miracles that JESUS CHRIST did during HIS three and a half years ministry. He is an ego mega gorger just by the fact that he thought that he was this super genius because he thought of that and said that mega super ingeniously clever massively stupid thing.
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
But of course he is not alone (to say something along those lines then thinking that he was just so clever for saying that). The world of humankind is full to overflowing with full of themselves ego mega gorgers like him. They may not all say this same thing but they all held themselves up as been these 'super geniuses', which is obvious from all that they spewed forth from their mouths (Matthew 12:34).
Then Jesus said to him, “Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will by no means believe.”
John 4:48
I wonder (not that I need to, it is just a figure of speech, I am pretty sure no one ever did), that before this work disclosed and discussed it, whether anyone at all ever noted that despite the many miracles (i.e. signs and wonders) performed by the Prophet Moses and JESUS CHRIST, neither the ancient Israelites (during all the years after they were freed from their Egyptian bondage as they wandered in the wilderness forty years) nor any of the Jews of the Gospel years (except for some one hundred and twenty individuals of Acts 1 verse 15, preserved by GOD), not a single one of them actually believed (and obeyed).
So what did all these miracles (i.e. signs and wonders) performed by both the Prophet Moses and the LORD JESUS during those times, do for all the lust driven ancient Israelites and Jews respectively? Seeing how they all saw and even tasted all these miracles and wonderous signs: yet all the Israelites (except for Joshua and Caleb) perished in the wilderness not allowed to take possession of their inheritance because they all plainly and clearly did not believe; while all the Jews of JESUS CHRIST's time, most to nearly all of them screamed for HIM to be crucified because they all very plainly and clearly never actually believed.
And do you know that John the Baptist who was the Type (Matthew 17:12; Mark 9:13; Luke 1:17) to the Actual (Matthew 17:11; Mark 9:12; Malachi 4:5) 'Elijah who comes first', did not performed a single miracles or wonderous sign, yet nearly all of the one hundred and twenty (Acts 1:15) who actually believed and obeyed (Luke 1:16 – 17; Malachi 4:6) JESUS CHRIST and were gathered together with the (eleven remaining Apostles) on the Day of Pentecost aka Feast of Weeks/Firstfruits (Act 2:1) when the HOLY SPIRIT was given to them (Acts 2:3 – 4), were among the tens of thousands who were first baptized by John and had actually believed him while the bulk of those whom he baptized never did actually believe but their got baptized just out of lust driven fear (Luke 3:7; Matthew 3:7) alone.
Now, anyone who is actually and effectively intelligent would (or should anyway) have discerned and noted then understand, that miracles and wonderous signs do not build the faith that pleases GOD. On the contrary
miracles and wonderous signs only serves to convict all the totally lust driven (and this is literarily just about everyone living today, as also for the most part, all who have ever lived since Adam and Eve). This is one of simple basic truth recorded in the Christian Holy Scriptures which until this day no one (except for this author) have ever noted and understood.
Because being lust driven (aka drunken with lusts) basically translated as being totally technically insane. It rendered a person to be incapable of understanding anything at all, except for 'believing' (i.e. lusting to believe) whatever they lusted after. This by the way, is something (if anyone who read has noted) that this work has consistently testified to.
But do not despair all you totally lust driven, wonderous signs are coming very soon. Because you all have lusted controllably, GOD is soon going to give you wonderous signs.
And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie,
2 Thessalonians 2:11
Yes, wonderous signs are soon coming as the Scriptures of Truth clearly, plainly and explicitly prophesied:
He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived.
Revelation 13:13 – 14
And the reasons for these wonderous signs this man, who will also proclaim himself as the 'Elijah who comes first', will do is so that (i.e. to the purpose) that all the earth (i.e. humankind) will worship the Beast whose mortal wound was healed, who is the eighth Beast of the seventh (Revelation 17:11).
And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence, and causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
Revelation 13:12
But of course there will be more wonderous signs but not desirable (i.e. lust worthy) wonderous signs this time but plagues, to purge this End of the Age of all the wicked. And those wicked will include you (the reader), if you continue to refuse to believe and heed, and repent to believe the testimonies of this work, before it becomes too late.
And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.”
These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands standing before the God of the earth. And if anyone wants to harm them, fire proceeds from their mouth and devours their enemies. And if anyone wants to harm them, he must be killed in this manner. These have power to shut heaven, so that no rain falls in the days of their prophecy; and they have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to strike the earth with all plagues, as often as they desire.
Revelation 11:3 – 6
And there are more but this will suffice for now. The Christian Holy Scriptures has been available in the heavily interpreted works known as 'The Holy Bible' in numerous 'translations' and languages.
Everyone (includes all the Elect of GOD of today, Messengers to the one true Church of GOD) who have read them from when they first became available in the King James Version, has been reading selectively, selectively select what to accept and what to reject (as irrelevant, outdated, superseded, obsolete, etc.). This work has presented to all, the full complete account through all the discussions of this work. You choose for yourself whether you will believe them or not.
But you guess, which wonderous signs will the whole world of humankind believe going 'ooooh' and 'aaaaah', 'how wonderful, how awesome'. And which wonderous signs the whole world of humankind will refused to believe and heed and refuse to repent?
