Until further notice the messages that accompany this notice will be part of the “Come out of her my people” series. They will be harsh. They will cause people to get upset. This is as it should be. They must question the way they think and live. So, they can seek to follow Christ and not the world.

Discussion

What is perplexing to most of humanity is they have no True understanding of what life is. To most, even those that call themselves “Christian” all they can see is this life. They can’t even image God’s promise even though they say they are a follower of Jesus Christ.

Why do a say this?

Because they prove it every single day. Their own actions. Their own behavior shows the truth. This is the fruit which Christ talks about. Works through faith are our fruit. Yet, the fruit they bear is anything but faithful to God. It is faithful to themselves and themselves alone.

This is shown by where they store their treasures. Just as Christ said it would be.

Matthew 6:19-24 NKJV – “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. “The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness! “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.

Because they have chosen mammon over God they live in darkness and can’t see into eternity. This is seen clearly in these verses. The world where their heart is, is darkness. They think they are holy, special, exempt from damnation.

However, Jesus Christ makes it extremely clear. You cannot serve God and mammon. Therefore, even though they play like they are “Christian” they in reality aren’t. It is made clear. Mammon is of the world. Who are those that are friends of the world?

James 4:4 NKJV – Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. They think they can go to a building called a “church” and they are His friend. This isn’t the Truth. They are still His enemy.

As a result, they have no concept of eternity. For if they did, they would have chosen God not mammon.

Once again for clarity. Mammon is riches (jewelry and fancy clothes), money (hording earthly wealth, which goes above and beyond what is needed to live a needs-only lifestyle). Possessions (those objects that clutter up houses and walls, as well as expensive furniture. Also vehicles, especially luxuries vehicles, that go beyond what is needed to get from one place to another.) Then we come to property (huge houses and/or multiple houses. Again, above the necessary need to shelter from the weather. As well as land filled nothing useful to anyone, especially those in need.)

This is all mammon and most that now profess to being “Christian” own and worship all this and believe they are still welcome into eternity for billions upon billions upon billions of years. But, how can they if they are God’s enemies?

Wait, there it is. Those reading or listening who call themselves “Christian” just said they aren’t. Well let’s look at this from other verses found within the Word of God.

Revelation 3:15-17 NKJV – “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked—

“I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing.” That translates to mammon worshippers. That equals enemies of God. That means they were vomited quickly and violently out of the Body of Christ. This means they are not welcome in the joyous eternity in the service of God through Jesus Christ.

Here is the other side of eternity. Which again proves they are blinded to the Truth. You see every single person, that is a son or daughter of Adam. Before and after the flood. All will have eternal bodies. Yes, every single person that has ever been conceived, and yes, I used the word “conceived” on purpose. For billions have been murdered since 1972 when they legalized abortion.

But. To get back on track. All humanity that has ever lived, that is alive, and per-chance may be born. Will have eternal bodies. Bodies that will live for billons of years not just a mere one hundred if they’re lucky.

It won’t be in heaven walking on clouds. It will be in eternal bodies that feel like the bodies you have now. You can touch them. You can feel. You can talk. You can actually have a conversation. But here’s the trick. Only those that Truly follow God will have time to actually come to this realization.

Those that are friends of the world will only know agony and pain for billions upon billions upon billions of years. As is promised us in this Bible verse:

Isaiah 66:24 NKJV – “And they shall go forth and look Upon the corpses of the men Who have transgressed against Me. For their worm does not die, And their fire is not quenched. They shall be an abhorrence to all flesh.

Within this verse is the verification that I am speaking the Truth. Note the wording.

“And they shall go forth and look upon.” This shows physical form and behavior. For those that follow Christ and not mammon and the world that is. The latter are the ones being observed.

Those that have chosen the world and mammon, no matter who they profess to be, will be in the lake of fire, where their worm does not die and their fire is not quenched.

This is why Jesus Christ says this:

Matthew 7:21-23 NKJV – “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

How can we seek eternity?

We do as Jesus commanded and taught.

John 14:15 NKJV – “If you love Me, keep My commandments.”

In the Sermon on the Mount, we are given commands by Christ. One we already heard. Do not seek after mammon and choose God. This means live a need-only lifestyle as reinforced in 2 Timothy 6:6-19.

Before the verses in Matthew we hear this from Christ. Give in secret. Pray in secret. Fast in secret. These are His commands. Yet, those that embrace mammon make a show of giving. Make a show of praying, especially in the buildings called “churches.” They make a big deal about fasting. They exalt in bringing attention to themselves. For because of mammon, they seek to be seen and recognized and may I say being glorified.

Only one being is to be glorified ….. that is God.

Yet, mammon makes people desire to be glorified to be worshipped by others. This is also seen in Matthew six. Here we are told how to act when not seeking after mammon, but we also see the behavior of those that do seek after mammon.

Matthew 6:25-34 NKJV  “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? “So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

”Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.”

Those that seek after mammon ask these questions. Therefore, they are gentiles not followers of Christ. Yet. Most that go to buildings called “churches” ask these questions and even believe they are destine to a joyous eternity with God through Jesus Christ. However, they are not. They are more than likely destine to the lake of fire.

How can those that profess to following Christ fix their relationship with God through Jesus Christ?

As stated earlier follow the commandments. Now as to this. There are those that say there is no longer any commandments to follow. We are under God’s grace. Then why did Jesus say to follow His commandments. He also said this too:

 Matthew 5:17-19 NKJV – “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. 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.

Those that say there is no longer commandments to follow are breaking commandments and teaching other to do the same. Therefore, they are seen as the least in the kingdom of heaven, or more accurately not even welcome into the kingdom of heaven at all.

Follow the commandments and teach others to follow them as well. That way you can be counted as great in the kingdom of heaven and therefore welcome within the first resurrection. Study the Word of God for yourself. Live a needs-only lifestyle and use the majority of your earthly wealth to help those in need and to spread the True Gospel.

God Bless

Discussion

2 Corinthians 5:1-9 NKJV – For we know that if our earthly house, this tent, is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.  For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed with our habitation which is from heaven, if indeed, having been clothed, we shall not be found naked. For we who are in this tent groan, being burdened, not because we want to be unclothed, but further clothed, that mortality may be swallowed up by life. Now He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who also has given us the Spirit as a guarantee. So we are always confident, knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord. For we walk by faith, not by sight. We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord. Therefore we make it our aim, whether present or absent, to be well pleasing to Him.

I start with these verses for a reason. For this is how all who call themselves “Christian” should think and believe. Yet, how many do? The answer is written in tears. For most shed tears when someone moves on from mortality to life.

Most fear this earthly death. They cower from it. They dread its embrace. Within recent months more and more has been transpiring to show that a line has been drawn. A line that shows the entire world has returned to a mentality that matches how things were when Christ walked in this temporal plain of existence two thousand years ago. A prime example of this was shown in Hawaii where 2000 plus people died in what could be called “a horrible death.”

How many though left this mortality for the true life that is to come? That left this extremely short mortal existence to the beginning of the eternal life that will last billions upon billions of years.

Since none can count upon other humans any longer. They must find another source of comfort. Since Christ left this world, He gave those that followed Him a command.

Matthew 28:18-20 NKJV – And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in My name teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.

We are now in “the end of the age.” Death will increase when the Great White Throne Judgement transpires. Suffering will increase. There is only one refuge. That is Christ Jesus.

John 14:6 NKJV – Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

True repentance is required. True commitment to the Word of God is required. True downsizing is required. For the more you depend upon the world the more you will fear leaving this mortality for the True Life that is found in His presence. For those that fear death do so because of who they are enemies with.

James 4:4-8 NKJV – Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, “The Spirit who dwells in us yearns jealously”? But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: “GOD RESISTS THE PROUD, BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE.” Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

Too many live a life of the double mindedness. Claiming comradery with God through Christ, yet they cling to their earthly rewards and wealth. Christ clearing states where our love is bound to.

Matthew 6:19-21 NKJV – “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

There is one thing people need to come to understand and come to accept. We only have one life. I am not referring just to this temporal existence of around one hundred years. I am referring to all of it. Yes, this corrupted body we live within stops functioning. The heart stops beating. Air no longer enters and exits the lungs. Blood no longer circulates throughout the veins and arteries. This corruption was never meant to continue. It was designed to fail.

This body we now inhabit is a waystation within our true journey. Our souls, our spirit that lodge within this decaying body does not end. This is one thing those that embrace Atheism do not wish to hear. For it would mean they must accept that they could face punishment. Yet this is something they don’t wish to accept for it would mean that our life will continue beyond this body. That is why it is called a “tent.”

This is the truth. It will. It is made clear within the Bible that our lives are to be immortal. Our souls, our spirit is to move on into an immortal body.

1 Corinthians 15:53 NKJV – For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

What I have said so far is borne out in the verses that are before this verse that I just said.

1 Corinthians 15:35-44 NKJV – But someone will say, “How are the dead raised up? And with what body do they come?” Foolish one, what you sow is not made alive unless it dies. And what you sow, you do not sow that body that shall be, but mere grain—perhaps wheat or some other grain. But God gives it a body as He pleases, and to each seed its own body. All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of animals, another of fish, and another of birds. There are also celestial bodies and terrestrial bodies; but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. There is one glory of the sun, another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differs from another star in glory. So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption. It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power. It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.

“The body is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption. It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power. It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.

Our spiritual body will be our immortal body. All our body is, is a vessel to contain our souls, our spirit.

It is this misunderstanding that causes so many to fear death. To hang on to this body that was designed to shut down. They wear masks to cover their faces. They cling onto this body, this tent, excuse the cliché, for dear life. Not realizing that they are not only denying but delaying true life.

However, maybe that is the point. They fear leaving this corruption, because deep inside they know their fate.

Revelation 20:11-15 NKJV – Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.

It is this that causes people to hold onto to their corruption and fight tooth and nail to keep within it.

They refuse to do what is required to end their fears.

Why?

Because when they are young, they would rather enjoy the feeling and sensations they relish and cling to. Not understanding that they are lusting after corruption.

They must abandon their earthly for eternal. Their love not for what can be found here, but what can be found when we dawn the immortal. This can only be found one way and in one way alone. Accepting Jesus Christ as our Savior then to learn the Bible and to live by what is taught within it.

John 14:6 NKJV – Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

Let us return to some of the verses that started this podcast:

2 Corinthians 5:1-3 NLT – For we know that when this earthly tent we live in is taken down (that is, when we die and leave this earthly body), we will have a house in heaven, an eternal body made for us by God himself and not by human hands. We grow weary in our present bodies, and we long to put on our heavenly bodies like new clothing. For we will put on heavenly bodies; we will not be spirits without bodies.

This means we continue in life. Just in a new form. We do not end. Yet most believe they will end. Why this is, is because those that expect their lives to end have not accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior. Most that profess to being “Christian” fear leaving this corruption as well.

Why?

Because they have turned their backs upon their salvation. They have become adulterers in the sight of God and have become His enemy. As was stated earlier in the verses from the book of James. This is why they fear leaving the corruption of this body they now inhabit. For they know that it will be worse for them because they have tasted true salvation through knowing their Savior, but they have returned to their vomit and mud.

2 Peter 2:20-22 NKJV – For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the latter end is worse for them than the beginning. For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them. But it has happened to them according to the true proverb: “A DOG RETURNS TO HIS OWN VOMIT,” and, “a sow, having washed, to her wallowing in the mire.”

The story of the prodigal son is a story for all that have accepted Christ as their Savior and then become adulterers. God will welcome you back. For God’s love will never abandon us. It is us humans that abandon Him to seek after and embrace what is in this earthly life that is nothing but corruption. That will rust and decay as it should.

Repent. Downsize. And if you are holding on to this temporal existence. Just let go and embrace your mansion that is your immortal form that we will dawn when He returns very shortly in the skies above at the second blast of the trumpet.

God Bless

The eviction notice is posted

Christian, Christian Life, General, Guide, Life, Relationship, Thoughts, , , , , Leave a comment

re-post
The eviction notice for the human race has been posted. Time is running out for humanity in this current temporal format. But what was the eviction notice. It came in two parts. The first was the acceptance of carnal sin and its legalization. The second, which in a way was the true first, but its actions being exposed after the first can make it the second, was the slaughtering of unborn infants for their body parts.
A huge celebration went across this nation for the first and the second has been buried into silence or over shadowed by the death of a wild lion. The mere fact that people celebrated the former and cared more for an animal over the slaughter of innocence showed God that the human race has crossed a threshold that has been crossed before. This time it took nearly a thousand year to cross, which was an improvement, but it has been crossed none the same. From here it is all downhill for humanity and it is time to choose your eternal fate.
But what are our options?
This is what the Bible states. Those that accept God and follow His teaching will most likely be persecuted, ridiculed and hated in the time remaining to those that are upon this planet at this time, but in return we will be rewarded by being allowed to explore the universe and all it wonders by doing this task or that task for the Lord God Almighty.
For those that accept this world and enjoy its pleasures will receive a pit of fire as worms eat upon their eternal flesh for all eternity.
Just for the record I have chosen the former and have embraced that fact that I may have my own head cut from my body with a dull knife. It is something that I know will hurt but I have accepted it and willing to die for my faith, my beliefs and my God.
I am willing to stand for the teaching of God and that the murder of an unborn child that is more important than a lion. I am willing to say you must not live in a sin to the point of “legitimizing” it by a ceremony you think God will accept and acknowledge when in fact it is compounding the sin and making it worse. You are actually sinning worse and so the result will be worse.
God knew us before we were conceived. If God can know us before the sperm and the egg join then our souls are present within the womb, and the child within the womb is a living human being. All this body we live within is just a vessel to carry our souls about till God says our time is finished in this temporal reality. We either have severed God and our task for Him is finished or God has seen enough and wishes our sins to end before they are made even more compounded as others have chosen to do.
Here is the thing. God may know who will make it and who will not, but we don’t. If we turn from God there is still a chance to return to Him.
God may count you as one of His, but you will only know this if you make the choice. If you make the effort to turn to God. We are governed by free-will. It is our choices that we must make. We are making them because how we choose will ultimately teach us and allow us to be able to serve God in whatever task we are to be assigned in the eternal future that is to come. What these tasks will be is unknown for we are not to know at this time.
But what we do know without any doubt is the fate of those that turn away from God and embrace the pleasures of this short and temporal life we all live within. The fate is listed in the Bible in Isaiah and in Revelation. It is within the pit of fire where those that will be sent there will always be thirsty, will be burned and will have their flesh eaten by undying worms, as undying as they themselves will be having been given an eternal body just as those that serve God will receive. It will be real, as real as you looking at this computer screen or cell phone as your read this right this moment. Just this real but never-ending.
This is the fate of those that do not turn from their sin. This is the fate for those that commit human sacrifices by crushing the skull of an unborn child and then cutting his or her flesh apart for their organs. Just as was the fashion for those that gave sacrifices unto gods of stone and gold. The animal’s organs were cut out of them and each given in a further sacrifices to these carved blocks of stone, but that is not how these abominations are done now. They are done for the greed and glorification of humanity instead of a stone idol it is for Lamborghinis and fancy homes and vacations. This shows that this humanity that is so corrupt that these children’s deaths is seen has nothing when compared to the death of a wild animal in the middle of Africa. Weep. Weep for if you do not change, now your fate is sealed and it is going to be horrifying and ever eternal.

Only you are responsible for where you will spend your eternal life

First off we need to get to a point of understanding about what will be THE eternal life.
Most in this world think that there is only heaven and you sit about doing nothing or walking in beauty. Then there are those that actually acknowledge there is a counter to this which is hades or hell in addition to heaven. Furthermore there are even those that still believe in the Catholic made myth of purgatory, which is never mentioned in any form within the Bible.
When you truly study the Bible you come to a realization that the eternal life is beyond heaven and hades. You see, heaven and hades are merely holding placing for the souls of the departed until they receive their eternal bodies that are promised unto us within the Bible upon the return of Christ in the first Rapture, and then for those in hades at the end of the thousand year reign of Jesus Christ.
The Bible, unlike what many are hoping for these days, IS black and white, good and evil, right and wrong. In fact it is made very clear that those that live in the middle, in the grey, are rejected by the Glorified Jesus Christ Himself (Rev. 3:15-16). They are also seen as worse than those that live in the black, the evil, the wrong.
The eternal life that is to come is just that: eternal, immortal.
Does this mean that those that sin and live outside the Bible will receive eternal life? In a fashion yes. They will receive an immortal body. However they will have no freedom. In fact it is called the second the death. For even though they are living immortally they are dead to God and His Son the Lord Jesus Christ. They will be living with who they decided to follow who will be suffering just as they are suffering.
Isaiah 66:24 – And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.
Revelation 21:8 – But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
Revelation 20:14 – And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
Revelation 20: 10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
The only person that can decide on where they are going to either spend eternal life with God and Jesus or in the second death is you, yourself. You must decide for yourself to live in the here and the now, or to strive to reach for immortality with God.
You must ask Jesus to be your Savior, you must reject sin. You cannot live in sin and say you serve God. That is those that are seen as worse than those that reject God outright. You must learn the Bible and to follow its teachings. If you do this you stand a chance to make it, but only time and God will tell.

The afterlife

First off do you belief that in the theory of there being a multiverse to be real?
If the answer to this is yes then the concept was proven when it was stated that God is in “heaven.” Where God is, is a different reality. It even works under its own time structure. For one day to God is one thousand years to this reality.
2 Peter 3:8 – But you must not forget this one thing, dear friends: A day is like a thousand years to the Lord, and a thousand years is like a day.
Where heaven or as it is also called “paradise,” is located not in the same reality as where God is. However, we do know that from heaven you can see hell.
Luke 16:19 – Jesus said, “There was a certain rich man who was splendidly clothed in purple and fine linen and who lived each day in luxury. 20 At his gate lay a poor man named Lazarus who was covered with sores. 21 As Lazarus lay there longing for scraps from the rich man’s table, the dogs would come and lick his open sores.
22 “Finally, the poor man died and was carried by the angels to sit beside Abraham at the heavenly banquet. The rich man also died and was buried, 23 and he went to the place of the dead. There, in torment, he saw Abraham in the far distance with Lazarus at his side.
24 “The rich man shouted, ‘Father Abraham, have some pity! Send Lazarus over here to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue. I am in anguish in these flames.’
25 “But Abraham said to him, ‘Son, remember that during your lifetime you had everything you wanted, and Lazarus had nothing. So now he is here being comforted, and you are in anguish. 26 And besides, there is a great chasm separating us. No one can cross over to you from here, and no one can cross over to us from there.’
27 “Then the rich man said, ‘Please, Father Abraham, at least send him to my father’s home. 28 For I have five brothers, and I want him to warn them so they don’t end up in this place of torment.’
29 “But Abraham said, ‘Moses and the prophets have warned them. Your brothers can read what they wrote.’
30 “The rich man replied, ‘No, Father Abraham! But if someone is sent to them from the dead, then they will repent of their sins and turn to God.’
31 “But Abraham said, ‘If they won’t listen to Moses and the prophets, they won’t be persuaded even if someone rises from the dead.’”
Please note this last verse and think upon it. Anyway onward we go.
This also shows that heaven and hell are temporary. They are just a weight station unto the next phase of existence.
This next phase is something taught by those that even fully deny the existence of God. Yet again it is something promised to all. Not just our descendants that live hundreds or thousands of years from now. It is promised to everyone that ever was, ever is and ever will be.
The way these people sell their bill of goods allows them to cause those that now and have lived. That their mundane lives will mean something in the end. Even if they do not personally “reach” the point of “transition into a higher lifeform.”
The kicker is we will all experience this transition into a higher lifeform. This is promised within the Bible.
1 Corinthians 15:53 – For our dying bodies must be transformed into bodies that will never die; our mortal bodies must be transformed into immortal bodies.
It will not only come to our descendants, but ourselves and our ancestors.
The sad part about this is a price that is requires to have a good eternal existence, as was witnessed above with the parable Lazarus and the rich man.
This price though most of you that are of the millennial generation says does not exist. However, if you believe there is a multiverse you are accepting that God does exist. In turn as has been shown in pervious “Millennial outreach” articles, that Jesus did walk the earth two thousand years ago. Even those that deny God in no true understanding of history question that He did.
Jesus paid the price that is required by us upon the cross. Which is why Christians turn to Him and ask Him to be their Savior. His blood that was split upon that day nearly two thousand years ago was shown to be justified when He rose from the dead three days later. Remember I asked you to think upon that last verse early. This was Jesus telling of His own death and resurrection in this last verse as He told this parable. However none truly understood this, even the apostles at that time.
If you do not ask Jesus to be your Savior, the price must be paid by you and only those that lived an honorable life and never in anyway knew of God or His Son can expect to overcome the cost. By knowing there is the possibility of God and to deny Him does not mean those that do this will have this grace. In fact those that think this can never meet that price, which is why people must turn to Jesus.
Revelation 20:11 – And I saw a great white throne and the one sitting on it. The earth and sky fled from his presence, but they found no place to hide. 12 I saw the dead, both great and small, standing before God’s throne. And the books were opened, including the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to what they had done, as recorded in the books. 13 The sea gave up its dead, and death and the grave gave up their dead. And all were judged according to their deeds. 14 Then death and the grave were thrown into the lake of fire. This lake of fire is the second death. 15 And anyone whose name was not found recorded in the Book of Life was thrown into the lake of fire.

So we are all going to heaven???

Interesting.
Well that is what a recent poll states that says 69% of the Evangelicals surveyed stated.
There is just one big problem with this.
God made it clear that not all would enter into His service in the eternal life to come.
If fact the Bible makes it clear that more will reject God than accept God.
The road is wide and smooth to damnation and the narrow road is rough and hard for those that will find salvation.
Also, yes I agree there is a Heaven, but this concept that this is where those that do go there will stay there forever. This again is not stated in the Bible.
We are told that Paradise a.k.a. Heaven is there and in use in this time, but once Jesus Christ returns those that were seen as worthy servants will find themselves back upon this very planet helping to rule the nations for one thousand years in direct interaction with Jesus Christ Himself who will rule the entire planet in this time.
At the end of this thousand years will come the great White Throne Judgment. It is in this time that those that did not make it all the way will face the Judge, the Trinity.
Those that never knew God, those that denied God and those that rejected God will face their verdict.
They will either be accepted, or for the most part, might I add, rejected and sent into the pit of fire.
This is definitely not heaven.

Zombies the sequel

Christian, General, Guide, Life, Relationship, Thoughts, , , , , , Leave a comment

As I stated in the first post called “Zombies” was that the popularity of these shows was due to that fact that those watching were in fact themselves zombies.
Now you look at these shows and movies and you see dead and rotting bodies walking about wishing to kill those that are alive so they too can become zombies. What many do not realize is that how these zombies are portrayed in this ugly hideous manner is how millions will look one day and they will be able to see those about them looking just as horrifying
None want to hear or accept this as a reality, but per the Bible it is what the Pit of Fire will look like.
The rewards that are promised to us are of an eternal nature, but most in this world would rather seek the temporal rewards. They seek money, but gold has no value beyond this life we now live. There are those that have been paid millions of dollars but they have even squandered that and all for the glory of the self. While all about them children starve and go cold at night because most think only for themselves and not their fellow human beings who as the Bible calls them are our “neighbors.”
They seek fame and popularity, but the Bible teaches us to be humble. So why is there a need for fame? There is none and those that chase after it are doing so because somewhere deep inside themselves they see the zombies within. They seek after these temporal things thinking it will solve all their issues, but it reality it just makes them uglier.
They seek for a mansion here upon this earth, but what can be found today that was built two thousand years ago that is not falling apart or a ruin or even a mystery that they make up stories about to confuse and bewilder those that do not bother to read the Bible.
Could it be that people are accepting their fate? I hope not.
God’s wondrous rewards ARE worth waiting for. They are worth the pain that living this temporal life gives us. For each trail that we make it through makes us stronger. But we can only achieve true strength through the One who gives us this strength, and this is the Son of God, Jesus Christ.
To be one with Him you MUST repent of your sins and turn from them, no matter how painful doing so could be. Stop seeking after the “riches” of this world, for they are nothing. This life if you are lucky will last 100 years.
Our rewards promised us by God including eternal life will last 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 years.
That long…. At least.
So do you really wish to be a zombie and look that horrifying for the large amount of time I just listed or a servant of God?

Heaven the holding ground

Christian, General, Guide, Life, Relationship, Thoughts, , , , Leave a comment

In 1 Peter 1:4 at the end of the verse it says “reserved in heaven for you.”
For those that have not read it Peter is referring to our live eternal that we were promised through Christ sacrifice for us upon the cross.
In particular I want to draw your attention to the word “reserved” of the King James Version of this verse. The actually meaning of the word in the Greek is to hold, preserve, and watch. Many have this image though not studying the Bible themselves that Heaven is all there is beyond this life we now live, but that is not what is promised us. Look at the first part of the verse: “To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away” The main thing I wish you to note is the statement “that fadeth not away.” It will last forever, but its time is not yet revealed to any and they are held over in Heaven until such time as God finishes what He is going to do with those upon this planet.
We know that we shall be in clean of our sins. We know we will live forever. Yet people even within Christendom go about as if this life, this short life is all that we are promised. Yet that is not what the Bible teaches. If people would truly read the Bible then they would learn what is true and what is real. All I can do is encourage them to do so, but it is up to them to do it.

Steps in learning how to live an eternal life

Christian, Dreams, General, Guide, Life, Relationship, Thoughts, , , , , Leave a comment

This may not be what you are expecting to read, but within the Bible there are certain things we are told will take place.
1) We are told all will receive an eternal body. (John 3:16, Daniel 12:2)
2) Jesus Christ and those that are taken in the Rapture shall rule the Earth for one thousand years (Revelation 20: 4-5)
Now why do I point out these facts from within the Bible? Because they are the foundation of what I am writing today.
This temporal life we now live which at the most at this time can last just over one hundred years is the first step in this learning process. Through this life due to our sin nature we go through trials and tribulations that are designed to strengthen our minds in the teaching of the Bible. For within the Bible we are shown all we need to know to overcome this corrupt form we now live within. The reason for this is do we can show we can handle tasks that will be greater and of longer duration in the times to come beyond this temporal form.
Then if we are worthy in the eyes of God we will be called up in the rapture and we shall throw off the corrupt and put on the incorruptible and eternal body. It is at this time that one the Tribulations is over we are to co-reign with Jesus Christ upon this planet for one thousand years.
This is the second step in our growth into eternal life.
In this thousand years we shall not only learn new tasks but how to continue on in faith service unto God for one thousand years. This is ten of the lifetimes we now live with. These time will not be easy but filled with work and glory unto to God. For “reigning” is not just sitting upon a throne giving commands but actually going out into the people that are still living corrupted lives for not all shall be killed during the Tribulation.
Once this is done and the final battle with Satan takes place then we shall be truly into the eternity of our life and service unto to God. It is here that I feel we will go throughout the universe being tools and witnesses of God’s glory and so new experiences will be had joyfully by all that make this part of eternal life.
But do not think you are going there as you are now. I don’t even think that. It is an ongoing and daily struggle that is only made it through with pray, trust and faith to and in the God.

The forever place.

For centuries, it has been heaven, and it is understandable that people think and believe that once they die it is heaven that they will go to. That is true, but it is only a temporary place that we are to visit. Call it a waiting room if you like.

The real forever place will be the entire universe. Why else is it so large. We are promised that there will be a rapture of those that are present when the time of the Tribulation begins. Then there is the White Throne Judgment where the people that go through it will have their life’s seen like an open book for all to see. Those that pass this judgment will be like those that were at the rapture. Given an immortal and perfect body in place of the corruptible one, we now live within. An immortal body, can you grasp the meaning in those words. A human body that will not suffer illness or age and will last for billions of years.

What we will do in these bodies is only speculation, but it is certain for those that either make it past the White Throne, or accepted Christ into their heart before the rapture will have a glorious and wonderful life. Why? Because we will be serving the Lord our God and fulfilling those tasks that he assigns to us. That is the true forever and ever, which is said as you say the Lord’s pray if you read it fully and completely.

Then there is the other side of the coin. For in actuality God has promised all the children of Adam an eternal life in an immortal body. Those that do not make it past the White Throne Judgment have another destiny. It is one that is too terrible to put into words. Why? Because when those that fail realize that they too have an immortal body. A body that cannot die. A body that will last billions of years just like those that did make it past the judgment, but they have a different fate. A fate that will last as long as their bodies do. They will never sleep, for what they will go through will be beyond comprehension. They will beg to die because of it, but it will never happen. All because they turned their backs on God, and if they did not know of God then it was due to some horrible deeds they did within this corruptible life that made it impossible for them to be welcome before the Throne of God.

Those that know that their actions and behavior is something God has said not to do yet they do it. Some even do it joyfully. If you live a life that is considered a sin to God, I beg you turn away from it. Seek out the Son of God. Turn to Jesus and ask Him into your life even if you have to fall to your knees and beg for your forgiveness. Know that there will be times when you will falter and fall, but pick yourself up and continue upon the journey that will lead you to ultimately stand before God in joy, singing and praise of the One Most High. Then you too can come to enjoy that forever place.
