Not Against Flesh And BloodFor you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light... Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. Ephesians 5:8-11) [NIV] Eph. 6:12 is another mythicized verse, compliments of the false teachers, "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places]." The "experts" say that principalities and powers refer to two of the nine orders of angels, another absurdity. There is no Scriptural authority for the nine orders of angels. They are fabrication or fantasy - myth not mystery. Guess what? This verse being mystified beyond any practical interpretation is a product of spiritual wickedness in high places - deceivers who, if they gave it a practical interpretation, would be exposing themselves. A trusted deceiver can supply indefensible explanations for anything, and embellish them to ad nauseam. How better to divert God's Children from the real offending powers than to deceive them into thinking they cannot be engaged except through token rebuke and endless unanswered prayer for things that defy reason? While we continue rebuking the unreal, the real go unhindered. Let us pray for a logical interpretation to this verse and a more practical way of dealing with the spiritual wickedness than flailing out at the unseen and untouchable, and then maybe our prayers will be answered Murderers kill because of spiritual wickedness. How do we fight spiritual wickedness in murderers? By putting them in prison. Liars lie because of spiritual wickedness. How do we fight spiritual wickedness in liars? We expose them. Spiritual wickedness is responsible for every criminal and evil act imaginable. Would it be wise and practical to defend our nation from enemy attack by rebuking the spiritual wickedness in those inclined to do it? Of course not! Then why have we allowed ourselves to be duped into thinking that is our only defense against the spiritual wickedness of Eph. 6:12? Jer. 13:18 says, "Say unto the king and to the queen, Humble yourselves, sit down: for your principalities shall come down, [even] the crown of your glory." The principalities here refer to the king and queen's realms of authority. Titus 3:1 uses it in context with other earthly authorities, "Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work." Paul's use of the word power in Rom. 13:1-3 was clear reference to civil authorities, "Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God." Considering the same Paul wrote Ephesians, Romans, and Titus, why would we interpret principalities and powers in Eph. 6:12 differently than in the other passages unless the context clearly suggests otherwise? In Eph. 6:12, the context clearly does not suggest otherwise. We know what principalities and powers are. We know that the rulers of the darkness of this deceived world are the false teachers who darken, rather than enlighten minds; and that spiritual wickedness in high places is inside human beings who use their power for evil purposes. Spiritual wickedness is exactly what it implies, evil in people. This verse is referring to where it exists in people in high places (powerful positions), many occupied by higher church, corporate, and governmental officials. Let us no longer be hamstrung by the deceivers, which are themselves subjects of Eph. 6:12. "For we wrestle (struggle) not against flesh and blood" does not mean that we struggle not against evil in humans; it means we are to fight the evil with persuasion, not eliminate the host with violence; though God has that option. He has used it before and will again, when patient admonition and peaceful efforts fail. This struggle is linked to the war of Rev. 12:7-12, "And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. "And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. And they overcame him by the blood (words) of the Lamb, and by the word (blood - I'll explain shortly) of their testimony (truth); and they loved not their lives unto the death. Therefore rejoice, [ye] heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil (motivator of those with vested interest in the status quo of Eph. 6:12) is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he (they) knoweth that he (they) hath but a short time." Satan and the devil are easily identifiable. They also are simply the evil in people. And the only form of exorcism is elimination of the evil; and that by replacing it with good, not by useless mystical enchantments and charms. For Revelation symbolism to make practical sense, it requires literal and practical interpretation. Realizing what Eph. 6:12 is referring to makes Rev. 12:7-12 less obscure. Note: Rev. 12:13 is referring to the true church (the little flock of called out ones), not the prevailing and ubiquitous organized religions that deceive the whole world at lightning speed (fiber optics and satellite). Rather than spiritualize things above our God-given ability to have any practical power over them, we should interpret them as real and prayerfully use our God-given ability. The struggle in Rev. 12:7-12 is very earthly and involving good humans against evil humans, as Eph. 6:12. Let us bring them down to earth and not worry about what we don't understand. Let Michael worry about Michael's job and us about ours. No one else is going to do it for us; we must do it ourselves. God will help us, but we must stop waiting for someone else to do it for us, as previously. That is exactly what we've been deceived into doing until now. Jesus told us that faith can move mountains; Satan has deceived us into thinking that means we can do it simply by believing it will happen. The Greek word for faith is "pistis" and means fidelity or faithfulness, not just believe. In fact, we can't even move a small feather by just willing it done or believing it will move, no matter how much mental energy we exert; yet, with the slightest human breath we can send it flying. That's how mountains are moved; one scoop at a time, maybe for days and months and years with lots of cooperation by millions, like the Three Gorges Dam in China. It was faith that built the Great Wall, the Panama Canal, and the English Channel Tunnel. It was faith that took us to the moon. It is our faith that mows the lawn, does our laundry, and combs our hair. Without faith (i.e., fidelity to a cause) we wouldn't get out of bed in the morning. The struggle against evil that will bring Christ home will not be done as long as we just sit back and try to will it done. If we want it done in the name of Jesus Christ, we must rise up and do it in His name, praying for God's help. That way we will have it. The great spiritual war is the rest of the world against God's Children. Rev. 11:14-15 "The second woe is past; [and], behold, the third woe cometh quickly. And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become [the kingdoms] of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever." Verse 18, "And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead (spiritually dead), that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth." I said above that I would explain how the Lambs blood and the Word are the same. Let us begin with Jn. 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God," and Jn. 1:14 "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us ... full of grace and truth." So the Word "became flesh." Remember that as we read Mt. 26:26-28; and Lk. 22:19. These verses are complementary and together make a clearer picture. First, Mt. 26:26-28 says "And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed [it], and brake [it], and gave [it] to the disciples, and said, Take, eat (i.e., assimilate); this is my body (Remember in Jn. 1:14 "Word was made flesh." He figuratively equates the bread with His body; which, in turn, represents His Word. And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave [it] to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; For this is (i.e., symbolizes) my blood (words) of the New Testament (New Testament/Jesus' Words), which is shed (i.e., dispensed or disseminated) for many for the remission of sins." Drinking some liquid can't remove sin, but heeding instructions that lead to repentance will. Note, He says "Drink ye all of it." You may have noticed how some preachers and TV evangelists say the law is done away with. They say we're saved by faith or grace alone, without even understanding the principle. They say that no human effort is required, of course because happy listeners leave bigger offerings. Then in the next breath remind us of the tithing laws while the collection box is being passed around in full view of all present, so even those who can't afford to are compelled to give. Actually, that's a little innocent-looking and perfectly legal form of greed-induced extortion. The point is they're drinking only the tithing part of the Jewish law, and attempting to fully nullify Jesus' teachings that were intended to free us from those very things. Lk. 22:19 brings us to the crux of the bread/body, wine/blood matter, "And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake [it], and gave unto them, saying, This is (or represents) my body (Word) which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me." What better way to remember Jesus than to share and assimilate His words or teachings? The expression "breaking bread," means to fellowship. Jesus was figuratively telling all His disciples, including us, to gather and read and study His Word, to assimilate it into our minds, to put it into practice. Because doing so would give it life and transform the world into Paradise. The Word became flesh (and blood) and dwelt among us, but only for a little while. The Flesh left but the Word (blood), shed or disseminated, remains. We are drinking (assimilating) some of his saving blood (words) now. In Eph. 5:26 we see water representing Jesus' words. Above we saw His blood represent the words of the new covenant. In the Jn. 2:9 Cana miracle (a parable), we see Him turn the water into wine; i.e., He made the water/words more pleasant and palatable - easier to swallow. He made it good. This same word/wine is the cleansing water of baptism. Literal baptism is an initiation or introduction: a learning process, as the "new wine." Ritual baptism (dunking or sprinkling) is a totally useless token substitute for the heart-changing qualities of drinking; i.e., assimilating Jesus' new covenant and adhering to it. Mt. 26:29 says "But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom." Think! Those words are too important to break down in context, so I will repeat them with the clarifications. Note carefully "But I say unto you, I will not drink (study, learn, assimilate) henceforth (from this day forward) of this fruit (blood/words) of the vine (Scripture/God's Word/Christ) until that day when I drink (study, learn, assimilate) it new (i.e., as if for the first time) with you (note, with you) in my Father's kingdom." In Jn. 15:5 Jesus says, "I am the vine." So it would follow logically that His saving words are the "fruit of the vine." He was saying not until He returned in the last days, when He would learn His own teachings (encompassing all true Scripture) all over again, in His new life, as for the first time (in the new life), along with His disciples, in the (soon to rise up) Kingdom of God. But, again, we will have to walk through hell to get there. Satan (evil human beings), with all the power they have acquired until now and all they can muster in the current and growing great struggle, is blocking our way. When Jesus returns the world will not recognize Him at first. Let the Scriptures explain, praying for help from the Holy Spirit. First Acts 1:10-11 "And when he (Jesus) had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up (could mean lifted up, raised up, exalted); and a cloud (something that obscures) received him out of their sight. And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as he went up (departed), behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven." That is, He will return (rising out of obscurity) as he left (shrouded in mystery), not literally riding on a literal cloud (I'll explain). We need to see the cloud as something that obscures and at the same time as the cloud of witnesses or great multitude from out of which the Christ will rise up and come into view. Mt. 24:30 "And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven (the realms of Christianity): and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory." Remember, I told you before that clouds in biblical symbolism often means great multitudes. In Mt. 24:30, it is the great multitude spoken of in Heb. 12:1, "Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses" and Heb. 12:22-23 "But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, To the general assembly and church of the firstborn." Listen! Here, the great cloud of witnesses, mount Sion (Zion in Hebrew), city of the living God, heavenly Jerusalem, innumerable company of angels (messengers, agents), the general assembly and church of the first born all represent the same thing: the ecclesia (called out ones) or true church; the body of Christ; true Christianity and the cloud that Jesus will rise up out of obscurity from, and gradually come into view to His Children; i.e., the sign spoken of in Mt. 24:30. Without some clarification, Mt. 24:23-26 would make it impossible for anyone to believe that even Christ Himself is the Christ at His second coming. It could be that Jesus' warning, though not stated, was for the interim between His first and second coming; but then it could have been altered by self-serving scribes. But how can we know? There is a complimentary passage in Luke 17:22-37, and the clincher is in verse 25. Look closely. While most think Lk. 17:25 is a fulfilled prophecy, it is, in fact, in the context of Christ's second coming in the Lk. 17:22-37 passage. Please read that passage through verse 30, then swing back to verse 25, realizing that the word "this" in verse 25 should have been translated that. In Lk. 13:32; 17:34; Lk. 23:48; and Acts 16:12 that same Greek word is translated that. With Careful attention to detail the nuances shine through. It is important to note that He referred to the Son of man in the third person; therefore, separating the two events. So now, ironically, the word "this" in Lk. 17:25 actually does now refer to this generation; i.e., our generation. How will we know it? The key is, "But first he must suffer many things and be (cruelly and shamefully) rejected by this generation." Why? Because His teachings will be so at odds with the status quo that people will be too brainwashed to know the truth when they see it. He will not be literally riding on a cloud, neither a white horse. He will return as He left, shrouded in mystery ... faded out ... fading in, when the time is right. In Mt. 24:31 the angels that Jesus will send are His chosen human messengers, maybe those not defiled with women (apostate churches) of Rev. 14:4, who have been chosen to be His agents or messengers of the truth to the rest of His Children, worldwide, "And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet (urgent final call), and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other." They will use words, not scoops. The final call is sounding and will grow in intensity as time counts down to Armageddon. Some don't believe it now, but they will. This may be hard for some to accept, but it is necessary and may take some painful rethinking, as it did for me. We are not likely to see miracles (except false ones) where legs and arms seem to grow back or people are raised from the dead. If God brings back people from the past, I think it will be by natural birth and they will just blend in with the crowd. God can put the Spirit of Daniel, Elijah, etc. in any body He chooses. I did not say He would, only that He could. We will not see devils or demons cast out of people in displays like in The Exorcist. Jesus cast out demons or devils (simply evils in people) as His Word does today, by teaching people right from wrong and them putting it into practice, simple as that. Even the New Testament often misquotes or misrepresents the Old Testament, or the translators twist it, misleading us into expecting to see things that neither God nor His Son Jesus Christ promised. Let us see some examples. The New Testament often colors things Jesus did with "that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by" such and such prophet. Here we will compare Isaiah 53:4 with Mt. 8:16-17 "When the even was come, they brought unto him (Jesus) many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with [his] word, (with what?) and healed all that were sick: That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare [our] sicknesses." Let us see what Isaiah actually did say and if it confirms what they said. Isa. 53:4 "Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted." Isaiah did not say that Jesus would cast out demons or devils or heal illnesses, like magic? It says he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows, both meaning the same thing. A method called "synonymous parallelism," probably employed by God to aid in translation into different languages by stating things twice, using different words meaning the same thing to make it clear. Regardless, Isaiah's prophecy is a far cry from what they claimed fulfilled it. I think God will leave the false miracles to the false prophets. When the "faith healers'" verified margin of success and consistency exceeds that of the mere mortal doctors, let us, then and only then, attribute their flowery displays of healing prowess to the All Wise and Almighty God. Until then, let us attribute to God the healing abilities of the medical doctors, whose technical knowledge comes from God. The healing lies of the "faith healers" come from Satan. Even if the medical doctors are overpaid, the genuine ones at least work for their money; rather than stand before millions feigning miracles for it. Mt. 2:14-15 "When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt: And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son." Actually, that is a paraphrase from Hos. 11:1, "When Israel [was] a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt," referring to the exodus from Egypt, led by Moses. It takes a far stretch to equate that to Mary, Joseph, and Jesus' short stay in Egypt. It was young Israel (as a people) that the Spirit said through Hosea was called out of Egypt. Jesus will not have to do things that it might be fulfilled what some prophet said. Anyone who tries to deceive people into thinking he/she is the fulfilling of prophecy will be embarrassed when they learn that the prophecy they tried to seem to fulfill was a false one, which will happen as God's Children wake up. Understand, my indictment is not against Jesus. Jesus is not a lying false-miracle working deceiver. My indictment is against the false-miracle working liars and those who distorted God's words. Mt. 2:17-18 "Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy (Jeremiah) the prophet, saying, In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping [for] her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not." Quoting from Jer. 31:15 "Thus saith the LORD; A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, [and] bitter weeping; Rachel weeping for her children refused to be comforted for her children, because they [were] not." Jer. 31:16 Clearly reveals that God was referring to the Israel of the captivity that He would bring back from the enemy. Note, "Thus saith the LORD; Refrain thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from tears: for thy work shall be rewarded, saith the LORD; and they shall come again from the land of the enemy." Rachel's children (Israel) were in the captivity, not slaughtered by Herod. The one who wrote Mt. 4:14-16 or a later translator/editor claimed that Jesus' actions at His first advent fulfilled the prophecy of Isa. 42:6-7. While Isa. 42:1-7 is about Jesus, it was not fulfilled at the first advent. It is an end-time prophecy. Now just Isa. 42:6-7 "I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light (enlightenment) of the Gentiles; To open the blind (spiritually blind) eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison (prison of darkness or lack of knowledge created by the false teachers), [and] them that sit in darkness out of the prison house." The last part "them that sit in darkness out of the prison house" proves that the prison house is one of darkness (lack of knowledge). Note the word prison is singular because the spiritual darkness (or lack of knowledge) is one great worldwide lack of understanding (of God's Word). Jesus was killed and many of His truths replaced, distorted, or obscured, with lies. The light of Jesus' truth will make us free from the prison of deceptions, lies, and lack of understanding and knowledge caused by the liars. Mt. 12:14-16 says, "Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him. But when Jesus knew [it], he withdrew himself from thence: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all; And charged them that they should not make him known." The false prophets want us to think that Jesus' actions there fulfill what God spoke in Isa. 42:1-4. See Mt. 12:17 "That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet..." Compare Mt. 12:18-21 in your Bible with Isa. 42:1-4 "Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, [in whom] my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment (justice) to the Gentiles (nations). He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street. A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment (justice) unto truth. He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment (justice) in the earth: and the isles (which isles?) shall wait for (expect) his law." The two passages are very similar; but Jesus' charge in Mt. 12:16 that his whereabouts not be made known to His would-be killers is not a fulfillment of Isaiah's prophecy. It is not even close. Isaiah said God's servant would not raise His voice, not that He would try to conceal His whereabouts and existence. Listen to what it says, compare, and come to the logical conclusion. I believe that things that were sealed by the Holy Spirit until the end times are now being revealed to God's Children. If so, then it would logically follow that time is short and that we must rise to the occasion, prepared to do God's will. Our job is to restore the kingdom to God - without violence - by exposing the lies with truth. We will leave the devastating wars to the world governments and God's discretion ... and they will surely come. We cannot stop the impending devastating war that will likely destroy much of civilization. We can only serve our God in Peace and Love and be spiritually prepared to die. Children of God, you are called to take a stand against the evil that controls the world. If you work in one of those "high places" and are witness to deceptive practices, you are as guilty as the doers if you don't expose it. The "Blue Wall of Silence" makes every police officer that is aware of unreported crime committed by fellow officers as guilty as the offenders. The Blue Wall of Silence is an ungodly practice that makes criminals of the otherwise innocent and closes the doors of heaven to those who honor it. If you value your job and associates more than justice, truth, and God's will, then you have sealed your own destiny. God's Children will rise above that wall and do what is honest, just, right, and honorable. Nobility comes from within, not from the company we keep; and it rests on our own worthy deeds, not on the laurels of the gallant few. Eph. 5:11 says, "And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove (or call to account; NIV - expose) [them]." Around thirty years ago, I was watching a U.S. doctor being interviewed on TV and praising the medical profession. All I remember of the whole interview is that he said being a doctor was the noblest thing a person could do. Actually, I don't think Jesus would agree. Jn. 15:13 "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." I take no deserved credit from doctors. We need them and the good ones are blessings from God, as the knowledge they have gained. However, that is not so for the ones who have succumbed to the treacheries of corporate greed. The criminal points a gun at you saying, "Give me your money or I will kill you." At least he's not doing it under a guise of nobility. What do some in the U.S. medical profession do, and is it all that different? You often have to pay them more for a few minutes work than you can earn in a week, or in some cases months, or years, or even a lifetime. Many people who have sacrificed all their lives to have a nest egg in their old age, end up spending it all in a few short visits to a doctor or hospital and in many cases when the money is gone the patient is discharged. The AMA (one of the nation's greatest scourges) has the United States over a barrel, so to speak, and knows it. The methods of some doctors and hospitals are no less than legalized extortion. That which is not explicitly stated by some, is by their actions implied, "Give us an exorbitant amount of money or die." God's Children in the medical field should expose the darker side of the "noblest" profession. During a psychiatric evaluation in Grayson County Kentucky in 1987, I noted the psychiatrist's sadistic calm and apparent amusement as he watched me writhe in emotional pain, nervously struggling against the handcuffs, as he said things he apparently could see were hurting me. All of a sudden, for what reason I don't know, unless God forced him to reveal his true thoughts, he said something to the effect, "We are in a field all our own, that no one can touch - not even the President of the United States." The saddest thing about his arrogant remark is that he was right. No one is considered qualified to argue with a psychiatrist but another psychiatrist, and anyone who does is likely to incur his/her wrath. They have the distinct advantage of labeling anyone who disagrees with them crazy, and some are very quick to exercise that advantage, especially if you don't have an attorney and they know it, have no friends and they know it, and the authorities don't like you either and they know that too. If you don't seem crazy when they first see you, you'll appear crazy to anyone who sees you after they saturate your brain with massive doses of the major tranquilizers. And then they can say, "Well, you see; we told you, he/she is a hopeless case." Power does corrupt, and we know it; absolute power corrupts absolutely, and we know it. So why do we passively allow them such unquestionable power? God's Children in the psychiatric profession should reveal the darker side of the "untouchable" elite. As the law now stands, doctors, hospitals, etc. are required to provide the patient a free copy of his/her medical records. I don't know about your state, but in Kentucky psychiatrists are exempt from that law. They don't have to show you or your family what's in your medical records. I know why and think you are wise enough to figure it out, wondering why our legislators are willing to help them pull off one of the greatest deceptions in all history. They can write anything they want in the record and since you are not allowed to even know what they write, no matter how blatantly untrue it is, you can't even deny it, nor can your family who might also know they are lying. I have seen notes in records where a doctor wrote that the patient was advised of the possible adverse effects of the drugs he was prescribed when no verbal hint of adverse effects was ever made. They know telling the patient the truth causes many to not want to take the drug. But if you had to go to court and testify that you were not advised, whose side would the court take when the doctor says, "Oh yes he was. It's written right here in the record!" I was forced to take drugs that lowered my I.Q. considerably, and greatly damaged my long-term and short-term memory. Many things that were once simple for me are now difficult to impossible. Since then, even adding a single word to my vocabulary has become very hard. I may look up a word twenty or more times then next time I see it have to look it up again. Within fifteen to thirty minutes after the administration of the drug, I couldn't remember the first half of a Bible verse long enough to connect it with the latter half. Before that I remembered many Bible passages well enough to study Scripture without even having a Bible present. I could quote more Scripture in 1983, after reading the Bible only once, than now after reading it cover-to-cover over forty times, and certain passages many times more. In 1996, after around thirteen years of devoted Bible study, I almost gave it up as a lost cause; because no one would listen to me - until the September 11, 2001 World Trade Center attack reaffirmed what I had been seeing in biblical prophecy. Whether we believe in biblical prophecy or not, we had better know for sure that danger like the world has never known looms on the horizon. I don't know if the Secret Service Agent would admit it, but a few months after forcing me to take the brain-damaging drug, the doctor who did it, said to a Secret Service Agent, in my presence, "He has always seemed alright to me." I was all right to him, but that didn't stop him from forcing me to take drugs that caused considerable, irreversible brain damage. So, there is a small example of what some people in "high places" will do to one they view as helpless and whom they would discredit for fear of the truth; and make sport of, like a pack of elementary school bullies, just because they know they can with impunity. I tried to learn the Hebrew and Greek languages, studying them each an hour per day for years, but the drug that was forced on me made that impossible. However, I did gain a working knowledge of both; i.e., I can do word studies that requires some knowledge of the Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek. In most cases, though, I came to the conclusions I have shared with you from English translations, going to the original languages when verification of things off the beaten path was needed. I can only attribute my conclusions, borne out by the original languages, to divine revelation. Our fight is not physical, but don't let that deceive you into thinking it is not against evil people. And do not be deceived as to who those evil people are. They are the ones we've been brainwashed into believing are the noblest of them all. And we darn well better not argue with them, if we know what's good for us!! |
