The Two Worlds — Part 2

Heaven and Hell

Heaven and Hell are actual parts of life on earth, as well as the names of places in the spiritual world.

In the Beginning

When the earth was created, the only spirits on earth were satan, who is Lucifer the Archangel, and all the fallen angels that followed him.

The earth was first used as a prison to separate evil angels from the good angels. The separation was necessary to isolate the earlier human race, known as Pre-Adamic Man, from Adam’s generations of human beings. This was the beginning of life on planet earth.

Michael the Archangel did not visit earth until Adam was created. When Eve sinned because she was influenced by the devil, the human race became disobedient to God.

When people die in their sin, their souls or personal spirits are released from our material world, and they must continue life as demons in the spiritual world.

These spirits are condemned by God to roam the earth without rest until the end of time. Then the Final Judgment will determine their eternal fate.

These demonic spirits actually exist. They have vast power over phenomenon. They are responsible for all the hidden information brought to light by Psychics, fortune tellers, and mystics.

Demonic spirits can influence living human beings through thoughts and visions, but there are rules.

Demons cannot force people to believe the thoughts that they suggest. Yet, people believe their thoughts because the thoughts they plant in human brains are very convincing.

It only takes a simple decision about a thought to stop it, or you can just ignore it. People don’t even try to reject their thoughts. Notice I said ‘reject’ and not ‘stop’, because we cannot stop thoughts, but we can reject them.

Human beings do not know their thoughts can come from sources outside their brain. People do not believe their brains can receive telepathic information from sources in the spiritual world.

When people find out about this phenomenon, they still refuse to believe it, and that empowers the demons. The reason God designed us male and female, mother, father, and children, is so each of us could have another person’s brain, who loves us, above us.

This system is designed to defeat the devil’s ability to speak directly into the human brain. God’s way removes the person that is being directly tempted by satan through desirable thoughts, and replaces their brain with the parent or spouse’s brain.

Therefore, God said, “Honor your father and mother”, and in another place “the husband is the head of the wife”.

It is not possible for a person that doesn’t know the Bible perfectly, and doesn’t have a very good relationship with the Holy Spirit, to tell the difference between their own thoughts and demonic thoughts.

There is no audible difference; neither is there a difference in tone, or speech, or the way they say something.

Detecting demonic thoughts can only be accomplished by comparing them to Biblical principles, which is not easy for the average person.

It isn’t easy for Priests, Ministers, Evangelists, or Bible Scholars. Demons are successful because people are ignorant of these facts. Another problem is that most people don’t believe spirits, ghosts, or demons, actually exist.

Demons depend upon human ignorance to deceive people. It is shown to you in the Biblical character of Judas Iscariot, the Apostle Peter, and Jesus. No one is immune from it.

The only protection from it is knowledge of the Bible. The less people know, the easier it is for demons to work their magic on the brains of the living.

The Two Worlds — Part 1

The spiritual and physical worlds

There are two actual worlds co-existing side-by-side, even though most people in the Western Hemisphere don’t believe it. One is a physical world and the other is a spiritual world.

Life exists in both worlds. It is possible for these two worlds to contact each other, but contacting each other is breaking God’s Laws. There are specific rules made by God that both worlds must follow. Rules like gravity, which is a rule we must follow in the physical world.

The Bible tells us about spirits who live in the spiritual world, which is not actually another world, but the invisible part of the same world we occupy. It is said to co-exist with the world in which we live, because there is an invisible wall that keeps the creatures on both sides separate from each other.

 Co-existing does not mean side-by-side. It means intertwined. The spirit world is intertwined with our material world. So intertwined that one cannot operate without the other.  Therefore, the spiritual world is not separate from our world; and as our world is functioning, so is the spiritual world also functioning.

The two worlds are like two instruments in an orchestra. The music produced is one sound, but it is the product of both instruments. Everything happening is a product of both worlds: the material world and the spiritual world functioning as one.

The spiritual world has its roots in eternity. This means the spiritual world began eons before our material world existed.

Once the universe and earth came into existence, the spiritual world that surrounds us intertwined itself with our world and simply continued to co-exist with us.

For a better understanding, let’s say the spiritual world existed before Time and before the earth began; and the spiritual world exists during time and while the earth exists; and the spiritual world will continue existing after time and after life on earth no longer exists.

Therefore, the only period we are dealing with in this Chapter is the existence of the spiritual world that now exists with us during Time.

The Physical World

The world we live in is made up of things we can see and touch: hence it is known as the material world. All the things that exist are made from materials like metal, wood, stone, clay, cloth, fibers, bone, hair, etc.

Each of these things are either composed of their own individual atoms or compounds derived from various atoms attached to one another.

The only invisible things that exist are gases such as air, nitrogen, hydrogen, yet, when these gases are cooled sufficiently, they become visible and solidify.

The atoms that make up all materials on earth are also invisible to our eyes. When the very powerful electron microscope was invented, atoms could actually be seen.

Although we can see atoms, they are not touchable because they are tiny balls of energy and energy cannot be felt or touched like solid objects. Whereas, electricity is energy and if touched it will be felt.

When someone experiences an electric shock, they are not feeling the electricity. They are only feeling the result of the electricity passing through their body.

The importance of discussing this issue is, invisible things have always existed in our world, and were always there even though Mankind couldn’t see them or touch them.

This should prove to you that invisible things exist such as spirits all around us, even though we can’t see them or prove it.

A person claiming to believe in God, the Bible says, must believe in things that are invisible.  Things that cannot be proven.

Jesus is the God of Israel. People who believe in the God of Israel must believe what the Bible tells them. Believing what the Bible says is the essence of having faith in God.

Adult human beings have learned how their material world functions, while the spiritual world remains illusive and mystical.

Ancient people developed all kinds of rituals to deal with the unknown spiritual world, while today’s people mostly ignore it as a non-existing entity. Both are errors of Mankind:

1) Ignoring the spiritual world’s existence perpetuates Mankind’s ignorance about it; and gives demonic spirits power.

2) Overly reacting to this unknown spiritual world will bring much harm to those people and their families who are involved in trying to make contact, or making successful contact, with the spiritual world.

The evil side of the spiritual world is known as the occult.

Any person, of any religious confession that knowingly or unknowingly has anything to do with the occult has already offended God. He or she either will not be allowed to enter the kingdom of God, or will be cast out of the kingdom of God on earth.

Offending God only takes dabbling with something like a horoscope, fortune teller, Dungeons and Dragons (a computer game), or a Ouija Board: which are not playful games just because they are sold in toy stores.

Life Before and After Death

Spiritual life

Life was originally created prior to this world’s existence. Life was originally created in an eternal spiritual realm. All existent life was in the form of spirits.

Spirits have no form or mass, which means they can’t be seen or weighed. Since life was created to exist eternally, there is no relative time span for their existence.

All spirits believe God, and spirits can do nothing without God the Father’s permission. Spirits are eternal creatures and cannot be destroyed. Spirits were intended to live in a material body on earth.

Human life

When God created Human life on earth, life was still eternal. This means it could never end, but this does not mean physical death did not exist. It only means people were not aware of the existence of death. It does not mean a person would never die.

The lifespan of a person was very long, and when death finally caused their human body to fail, God simply renewed their human body and put them back into it. This is known as the resurrection of the dead.

When people had no knowledge, this system of eternal life did not present a problem; but when knowledge entered the world, the human brain could not grasp the concept of death. This generated the fear of death, and this fear generates sin.

Therefore, Adam and Eve would have never physically died had they never sinned against God, which was to disobey God. Now people know about physical death, but they can’t see proof that they will return to life after death.

Knowledge of physical death was the result of Adam and Eve’s sin, but this did not mean their lives ended. It just meant their time on earth ended, until the next phase of life.

Once their time on earth ended, they had to return to the eternal existence as spirits to await becoming human beings again. The same human body would be renewed over and over as the person’s life continued eternally.

It is important to understand spirits are eternal creatures, because it means our lives will never cease. The question is, why do we physically die?

Physical death is simply an end of one’s human body, but it is not an end of one’s spirit.

Physical death is limited to a very short time period, known as Time, which began a little over 6,000 years ago on earth, and will come to an end in about 1,000 years.

The life span of human beings prior to ‘Time’ when ‘Death’ entered the world is unknown. A person’s life span could have been thousands of years or even millions of years long prior to Adam’s first sin.

Length of life

The length of a person‘s lifespan was unlimited prior to the first sin. Afterward, Mankind’s lifespan had a maximum duration of 1,000 years; and after the flood it was limited to 120 years. Before the flood, people lived for nearly a thousand years before physical death overtook them.

There is no factual reason to believe this is some twist of counting time differently than we do today. Yet there is plenty of evidence which proves this length of human life was literal.

God told Noah the future of the human lifespan would be limited to 120 years after the flood, because sin had increased in the world. This limitation shows us there is a direct connection between sin and aging.

A limitation was placed on the human race by God to limit evil on earth. The first person, recorded in the Old Testament, who was limited to 120 years of life was Moses.

Tracking the ages of people from Adam to Moses shows us that people’s ages slowly diminished from Adam’s 930 years of age to Moses’ 120 years. This occurred over a 4,500 year time period, and was a very slow process. This amounts to a person’s age being reduced by less than 20 years per century.

In the five centuries between Moses, who lived for 120 years, and the era of Israel’s kings, Man’s age was further reduced to just 70 years — a reduction of 50 years over 5 centuries, which amounts to a reduction of 10 years per century.

This serves as proof concerning the Biblical ages of ancient human beings, but only after Adam and Eve’s first sin. This is the beginning of recorded time on earth.

Man’s written records show that people’s ages increased during the 18th and 19th centuries back to 120 years. This was due to the Victorian Age, when morality became the primary goal of people. Then the Industrial Revolution, which produced deadly toxins into our atmosphere, reduced Man’s age once again to less than 40 years of age.

This phenomenon didn’t end until World War II. Since then Mankind had slowly crept back into the 70 to 80 year range of life.

This newest change is directly due to the leaps medicine has made in the 20th century, which was an act of love on behalf of nations toward their citizens, but with countries all over the world canceling their social programs, love is becoming cold.

Physical death

Once death overtakes a human being, their physical body dies; but their personal spirit, who is the person, continues on into eternity, which is a timeless place, to wait being returned as living human beings to the planet earth.

This process will take millions of years after everyone physically dies. This enormous time period will have no effect on the spiritual realm where the dead continue living, because time is a non-existent item in the eternal world.

Once the resurrection takes place, physical life on earth will return to its original eternal system. An example would be: think of yourself being in your favorite place, such as Disneyland or at football games without ever getting physically tired or bored.

In these situations, it is the same for all human beings. When you are enjoying yourself, time has no meaning and passes by very quickly.

It will be the same over the millions of years it will take our planet to reproduce itself and prepare itself for our return.

You will sleep through it and return. This will be life after death.

The Right Hand of God

Jesus sits on the Right Hand of God

This statement confounds the world, but it is quite simple to understand. Determining what it means demands we know God’s location.

Most people believe God is out there somewhere. Somewhere ranges from a place called Heaven to the universe or beyond.

The simple truth is that God only lives inside people. Therefore, God’s palace is right inside you! God’s palace is inside every human being, since your body is God’s Temple. When Jesus stated:

“In my Father’s house are many mansions: I go to prepare a place for you.”

Jesus was referring to his spirit residing inside every human being right next to God the Father. This is the meaning of Jesus sitting at the right hand of God.

Since Jesus is inside you, then don’t let anyone deceive you into believing Jesus is somewhere else. Jesus’ throne is right next to God’s throne inside you.

If you are a human being, then Jesus has been inside you since you were inside your mother’s womb. Since Jesus is the Holy Spirit, then everyone has the Holy Spirit from the time he or she is inside their mother’s womb. Don’t listen to the liars. They’re just jealous!

God took dirt and formed it into a human being named Adam. Then God breathed a living Spirit into that new human being and it came alive. The living Spirit that moved into Adam was God.

The Bible tells us that God is everywhere at the same time. This is true. It simply means God is living inside all of us at the same time. It is God that gives us life, and makes us living human beings.

We are only alive because God is inside us making everything function. This is why John the Apostle wrote.

“If you hate your brother, how can you say you love God?”

The Apostle was telling us: when one person kills another person or hurts another person they are really attacking God, because the spirit controlling them hates God.

An attack on a person is an attack on God. Since God is a Spirit, then He is inside every person. If Jesus is sitting at the right hand of God, then he has to be inside your body also. This is why your body is the Temple of God.

There is no provision for Jesus or God moving out of a person’s body until the day people physically die.

God’s Spirit is a multiple Spirit able to be inside everyone at the same time. God’s Spirit is giving us life and operating our bodies.

When Jesus’ personal spirit was glorified by God fifty days after the crucifixion, Jesus’ personal spirit was multiplied by God and became the Holy Spirit to enable his spirit to live inside all living human beings from that moment forward; and it doesn’t matter if a person believes it or does not believe it.

It doesn’t matter if a person is black, green, white, yellow or red; or if a person is a Jew, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, non-religious or other religion. Jesus is our Conscience, all the time, at the same time, and everywhere.

The Bible says Jesus’ throne is right next to God’s throne. It even tells us it is on the right side of God’s throne.

Since God’s throne is inside us, then Jesus’ throne is inside us right next to God. Hence, Jesus sits at the right hand of God.

God’s Counterweapon — Part 3

God’s Trap

God’s plan involved tricking satan into killing Jesus. God chose, assembled, and trained the Jewish people as priests several thousand years prior to the birth of Christ. There were two reasons for the existence of the Jewish nation:

1) To be the priests anointed by God to offer the final sacrifice of the Passover Lamb for the sins of the world.

2) To be the world’s scapegoat, which is the second Passover lamb who is blamed for the sins of the world.

God would not accept a sacrifice from any other people on earth. Therefore, it was necessary for the Jewish people to kill Jesus, the Lamb of God.

If the Jewish people had not fulfilled their destiny, God would have had to punish all human beings by banishing them to eternal damnation for being disobedient and breaking the least of His commandments.

When satan influenced people to kill Jesus, he unleashed God’s promise to glorify Jesus after his death. This means Jesus would become the Holy Spirit, and become exactly like God.

Jesus’ spirit would now have the ability to be everywhere at the same time just like God. Jesus would now sit at the right hand of God inside every living person on earth throughout time.

Jesus’ personal spirit would become the Conscience inside every living person’s brain, who was alive or born on the 50th day after the crucifixion, which would continue to the end of the world.

Therefore, satan could not win because God’s plan was perfect.

The Comforter is the personal spirit of Jesus, who is the Holy Spirit. Jesus has continued his work on earth as all people’s Consciences.

Physical death no longer limited Jesus to the confines of a human body. He was now free to carry God’s message to all people. Jesus became the victim, the fulfillment of the ritual animal sacrifice for sin.

God rewarded Jesus’ unselfish act on the cross by multiplying Jesus’ personal spirit, which is the Glorification of Jesus. Now Jesus could sit at the right hand of God His Father inside every human being from the womb.

Now everyone on earth, and every human mind, had access to God through Jesus. The Holy Spirit inside them is known as the Conscience.

Jesus could now influence every human brain on earth all the time and at the same time; while satan’s influence of the human brain depends on his armies of demons, most of whom are weak, undependable, ignorant, and greedy; and not all are intelligent.

Then satan has to contend with many demons who simply refuse to hurt living human beings, because once they physically died, they realized they were lied to and deceived about God and the world to come.

If it weren’t for human greed and hatred, satan and his hordes of demons would have never brought the world to its present state of evil.

God’s Counterweapon — Part 2

Three things were accomplished on the cross

First, Jesus being perfectly innocent of any sin or crime and being executed resulted in His glorification: which simply means, God multiplied Jesus’ personal spirit after he died.

Jesus’ personal spirit was the spirit God chose to send to earth. It was a particular spirit’s turn to be born as a human being, just like all other human beings.

Jesus’ personal spirit is the spirit that left his body on the cross the moment he died. Physical death is caused by God’s Spirit leaving your human body, which also causes your personal spirit to leave your body.

Second, Jesus is the final sacrifice. Jesus’ blood being spilled on the cross made him the final sacrifice for all Mankind’s sins. It includes every person ever born on earth, but it doesn’t include anyone who freely chooses to reject God’s offer of being saved.

Jesus, having been a perfectly sinless human being, made himself the victim that became the offering, which paid for every sin ever committed by the human race.

There is only one exception to this accomplishment. The exception is one sin, known as blasphemy of the Holy Spirit, which is purposely contradicting and denying what is written in the Bible. It is not covered by this salvation plan.

Third, Jesus had successfully broken the curse on Mankind since the days of Adam. The devil was well aware of Jesus’ birth, existence, and mission.

This is why satan influenced King Herod to kill Jesus as a baby but his plot failed, which is a vital part of God’s protection plan, known as salvation, which is extended to anyone who truly chooses to believe God.

Jesus was satan’s only enemy, and that left satan no other alternative but to have Jesus killed. The devil believed that Jesus would have defeated him by getting all people to worship God, if Jesus were allowed to live.

Killing Jesus was satan’s greatest error, because sacrificing Jesus was the essence of God’s plan to defeat satan.

You could say satan defeated himself.  When he influenced the brains of the Pharisees and Romans to kill Jesus, satan walked right into God’s trap.

Jesus had challenged satan during his lifetime and defeated him in death. Jesus challenged satan to a duel. The weapon chosen was the Bible.

Forty days after God anointed Jesus at John’s baptism; satan tried tempting Jesus by injecting thoughts into his brain.

Each thought from satan was defeated instantly by Jesus using the Word of God (the Bible) to prove his thoughts misinterpretations of Biblical principles, which makes them lies.

Thus, Jesus taught us how to counteract the ideas satan and demons put into the brains of people.

To be continued…

God’s Counterweapon — Part 1

God’s plan to counteract satan

Humanity was exposed to the wiles of satan.

His only weapon is mentally influencing the human brain, which includes: lies, torment, perverting the true meanings of Biblical concepts, keeping God’s people from contacting other people, keeping people from reading the Bible, keeping people from assembling with believing people by providing alternate activities, offering people a quest for money, offering people a quest for power, offering people sex opportunities, suggesting people overly use food, alcohol, and drugs, suggesting stealing, suggesting murder, and suggesting suicide.

There are physical weapons that satan uses in this war. They include: all the various governments, all the various businesses, all the various religions, all the various Christian churches, all the various preachers, priests, and especially the use of the Bible.

The sin of Adam and Eve resulted in Mankind being cursed. The curse extends until life on earth is destroyed; and if the curse remained unchallenged until the end of the world, it would have meant eternal damnation for everyone.

The curse on Mankind resulted in God putting a Cherub with a flaming sword at the east entrance of the Garden of Eden. His job was to keep Mankind from re-entering the Garden of Eden and getting to the Tree of Life.

The Tree of Life was the only way Man could obtain eternal life. The result of the curse was knowledge. The knowledge of physical death would lead to spiritual death entering the world.

God’s plan to counteract spiritual death, which comes from satan’s influence of the human brain, went into effect the moment Jesus was born.

When Jesus died the plan was finished.

God’s plan was simple. God sent a special spirit into Jesus to be born a human being on earth. His title is known as the Messiah (The Anointed One or the Christ).

The curse could only be challenged if a human being lived a perfect life and was killed for a crime he did not commit.

Jesus was killed for a crime he did not commit. He was executed for the crime of treason. He was falsely accused for calling himself a king.

Since Jesus lived a perfect life without ever breaking one of Man’s or God’s rules, Jesus defeated the curse.

When Rome executed Jesus on the cross, for a crime he didn’t commit, Jesus’ mission on earth was finished.

Jesus had lived a perfect sinless life from birth to death. Jesus had successfully challenged satan’s victory over Adam and Eve and won.

To be continued…

Animal Sacrifice — Part 2

After Jesus’ Crucifixion

Shortly after Rome murdered the Christ named Jesus, God also moved the Roman Empire to remove the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D.

This was God’s way of keeping the Jewish people from trampling on God’s Laws concerning the animal sacrifice.

Once the final sacrifice of the Messiah Jesus occurred, the Jewish people would have sinned by killing animals as sacrifices to God. It would have been considered murder by God to kill animals as offerings without the Temple.

The crucifixion of Jesus had concluded the work of the nation of Israel. They had accomplished their mission, as predestined by God, by offering the final sacrifice to God, which was to kill the Lamb of God, who was Jesus.

Therefore, the Temple in Jerusalem would no longer be necessary. In fact, the Temple would become a hindrance to the Jewish people. So God had it destroyed to protect them.

The only time God allowed the Jewish people to kill their animal sacrifices was while the Temple existed in a tent and afterward in a building in Jerusalem.

Once God had King Solomon replace the Temple Tent with the Temple Building, then the Temple could never return to being a tent.

This symbolized the changes that would take place on earth, which included Mankind changing his tent dwelling for permanent buildings called cities.

God would consider an animal sacrifice, after the destruction of the Temple, an act of murder.

This does not include animal sacrifices prior to the existence of Moses, or during the time of Moses, and up to the Temple becoming a permanent building.

It is no wonder God put the Muslim people in charge of the mountain in Jerusalem where the Jewish Temple once stood.

The Jewish Temple can only be built on that specific spot according to God’s Laws. Israel, Jerusalem, and the Jewish Temple were once part of the ancient Roman Empire during the time of Jesus.

Centuries later the Muslim people took possession of that entire area and the exact geographical location of the Temple.

The reason the Roman Crusaders set out to re-conquer Israel was to take control of Jerusalem again, because they needed the site where Jesus was crucified as a foundation of their newly formed church.

It was the basis of their plans for the future of the Roman Empire.

The Romans needed a war cry to rally European armies. So they invented the Holy Grail, which of course theoretically was in the hands of the Arabs in Jerusalem.

The Roman Crusaders waged war seven times during four crusades, over a period of four centuries, against the Muslim people in Israel.

The Roman Crusades ended in a stalemate with the Muslim people still in possession of Jerusalem and the Temple Mount, where the Jewish Temple once proudly stood.

Hence, God influenced the brains of the Muslim people to build their temple on the exact spot where the Jewish Temple once existed.

The Muslim temple is a Mosque called the Dome of the Rock. This was God’s way of insuring the Jewish people could never offend Him by renewing their animal sacrifice in the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem.

The decision concerning where the animal sacrifices would be done was solely God’s decision and not Man’s decision.

Since there has been no new commandment concerning the sacrifice of animals, and the Temple in Jerusalem is gone, then the animal sacrifice had to be suspended.

The little known fact is, God’s last commandment was to kill the Temple itself, which was the body of Jesus, the Christ.

Once Jesus was crucified, there was no other reason for anyone to perform an animal sacrifice. The Jews ceased all animal sacrifices, but many Christian sects continued animal sacrifices.

Voodoo is one such Christian sect that continues to perform animal sacrifices today.

Animal Sacrifice — Part 1

The Redemption Plan- Animal Sacrifice

God’s plan included a sacrifice. The original word used for sacrifice was “victim”. God allowed sinful Mankind to use a victim, an innocent animal, to take the blame and punishment for his sins. The original victim was a baby lamb.

Abel offered a lamb for his sins as instructed, but Cain refused to be obedient and offered vegetation. The reason vegetation wasn’t an acceptable sacrifice for sin is that no blood was shed.

God’s rules demand a person’s blood be shed for being disobedient to God. This is the reason God brings war, plague, catastrophe, and death, upon people, families, and nations.

A Man‘s child is his blood. In the Bible, we see God punish King David for the sins of adultery and murder by killing his newborn baby.

Abel was Adam’s son. Therefore, God punished Adam and Eve for their sin by using Cain to kill Abel. Since God is justified in killing Abel, this doesn’t excuse Cain for committing murder.

God’s law demands payment for sin. The payment for sin is both physical and spiritual death of the sinner. This is the essence of Jesus’ sacrifice for us on the cross. Since God is merciful, He allowed Jesus to become the victim instead of us.

Jesus physically died in place of us as the substitute payment for our sins. Since human beings sin they spiritually die and deserve to physically die to pay for those sins.

When the innocent human being named Jesus died on the cross, for a sin he did not commit, his physical death became the final sacrifice. This is why Jesus is called the Passover Lamb, which is the sacrificial Lamb.

Jesus physically died so human beings wouldn’t have to spiritually or physically die to pay for their sins.

Since God is merciful, shortly after Adam and Eve committed their first sin, the Bible subtly shows us the Lord teaching them the necessity of an animal sacrifice. Immediately after the sin, the Lord provided them with the skins of animals.

An animal must be killed to take its skin. Hence, we see the Lord teach Adam about the animal sacrifice. The Lord God introduced the animal sacrifice to Adam, which allowed him to shift payment for their sin onto the innocent animal.

Prior to the Cross, the animal sacrifice was a ritual that only postponed the spiritual death of a person’s personal spirit until Jesus died, which is what they deserved.

We see Abel sacrificing a lamb to God. This proves Adam taught the ritual to his sons, Cain and Abel, but this ritual didn’t stop God from requiring the blood of Abel, or the physical death of Abel, as payment for Adam’s sin.

The animal sacrifice became a requirement of the Lord after the first sin was committed. It wasn’t a request.

The Lord required Adam to teach his sons that each person had to perform this ritual of an animal sacrifice for the forgiveness of his sins once a year.

A man’s animal sacrifice also covered all the children and female members of his family. Since God considered them the man’s possessions, then they are simply an extension of that man.

The animal sacrifice made the animal an innocent victim who took the place of the originally intended victim. This was a temporary system that would continue as a ritual until the permanent victim or permanent sacrifice of Jesus would be offered to God over 4,000 years later.

When Jesus is born, and grows, he realizes through the Scriptures that his destiny is to become the final permanent sacrifice for all Mankind. The temporary sacrifice could not stop being practiced until the true sacrifice was killed; when the true sacrifice was killed, then the temporary sacrifice would have to stop.

The ritual would have to be removed and no longer allowed to be practiced once the final sacrifice was offered. This is the reason God had the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem destroyed, and allowed the Arabs to build their Mosque (Islamic temple) in its place on the exact spot.

God used the Romans to destroy the Jewish Temple, and the Arabs to keep the Jews from ever practicing the temporary animal sacrifice again. The performance of an animal sacrifice would be committing sin after the Jewish Temple was destroyed, showing God’s love for the Jewish people.

The temporary sacrifice was only a temporary payment. A man had to offer his animal sacrifice every year. This ritual protected the man and his family for a period of one year. It covered the sins committed by a man during the year immediately following the last ritual performed.

If a person was obedient to God and died in between rituals, he slept after physical death and did not become a demon. He slept to await the final sacrifice of Jesus on the cross.

When the final sacrifice was accomplished by Jesus, all the obedient children of God, prior to Jesus, received the same benefit as people who believed Jesus after the cross. They would be included in the resurrection of the dead, and brought back to life on the new earth after the Final Judgment.

The permanent sacrifice was Jesus, the Lamb of God. He was the final victim. The effects of Jesus’ offering himself as a victim for the entire human race extended all the way back to Adam, and forward to the end of our world. It applied to anyone, and applies to everyone, who believed in, or believes in, God or His Son Jesus.

Belief in God is having faith in God’s word, which is using the Bible to replace the evil information a person has contained in their brain about God and Jesus.

Belief in God or Jesus is not the same as believing they exist; which unfortunately is what most people are guilty of believing. Everyone believes there is a God, but only a few people have the faith to apply the written Word of God (the Bible) to their lives, no matter what it costs them.

To be continued…

Death — Part 3

The Destruction of the earth

 The Destruction of the earth is a fact. It cannot be stalled or stopped.

Once Adam and Eve set the human race on the road to destruction, the countdown began; it is called ‘Time’.  This is why God designed an escape plan for human beings called Salvation, which simply means to be saved.

Jesus told us that God’s escape plan is similar to Noah and his family being saved from the flood that destroyed the ancient world. Many historical Biblical accounts point to this fact.

The story of Noah is the greatest example of being saved while alive in this world.

In Matthew Chapter 24, Jesus used Noah’s story to teach us how we can be saved from the next destruction of the world.

Do not confuse the destruction of the world with the end of the world. They are two very different events.

The destruction of the world refers to the destruction of civilization. The end of the world refers to the end of life on earth.

The destruction of our planet earth will never happen. It is a myth. The important thing to focus upon is the time limit or the countdown to World War III, when civilization will disappear forever.

The appointed time limiting Mankind’s existence on the earth is 7,000 years. The countdown started when Adam and Eve committed the first sin. That was 6,061 years ago.

God gave the human race 6,000 years to get it right. They didn’t get it right, and the 6,000 years is over.

Now we have entered the last thousand year period and we’re getting close to the end, but it is still far away for those reading this book.

The end of the world is too far away for people to be interested in it. Nevertheless, the end of the world comes for everyone when they physically die; that’s the end of the world for them!

The end of the world

The end of the world is not a frightening thing in itself, because it only means the second part of your life has ended.

The end of the world makes no difference to a person who dies today because their world came to an end today, but the Judgment will make a difference to every dead person.

The Final Judgment of the human race comes after the end of life on earth, which is why everyone is put into one of two spiritual places after physical death:

1) Hell is where people’s spirits are held as demons after physical death. Demons are not allowed to rest until the Final Judgment of all demons. Hell, after physical death, is a spiritual holding pen.

2) Heaven is where dead people’s spirits, who are God’s children, are allowed to sleep, until the earth is rebuilt into a paradise to accept newly resurrected life.

The spiritual holding pen known as Hell is where a person is sent after physical death destroys their human body. Knowledge of it should be critical to every person.

There are only two places in the spiritual world: Heaven and Hell.  Everyone will be sent to one of these two places before the Final Judgment decides the eternal place demons will reside forever.

Therefore, the last 7,000 years, known to us as ‘Time’ are the central focal point of Biblical writings and prophecy.
