The key to knowing what God is saying to the Church today is found in a vision that John recorded in the Book of Revelation.
In the fourth chapter, it is written that there are seven lamps of fire burning before the throne of God which represent the seven Spirits of God.
In chapter five, the seven Spirits of God are mentioned again. Therefore, this topic must be important to our Father.
And, I beheld in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as if it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the Earth. (Revelation 5:6/KJV)
In this scene, the Lamb, representing Jesus, appears before the throne of God, and he looks as if he has been slain, meaning, violently murdered.
It would be easy for Christians to miss the significance of the use of this particular word because of their belief that Jesus was used as a sacrificial lamb for the sin of mankind.
However, when you understand the method of Hebrew animal sacrifice, it is far reaching to think that this Hebrew author is describing a sacrificial lamb. Because, sacrificial animals were not violently murdered. Slaughtered, is the past-tense word used for the killing of a sacrifice, not slain.
During the slaughter, the sacrificial animal was treated with upmost gentleness and care by a highly trained individual called a Shochet. His blade was sharpened to such a degree that the animal felt no pain as he sliced through a precise location on the animal’s neck with one quick movement. It was an instant, painless, and clean procedure. The blood was not splattered all over the body of the animal. Instead, it was neatly collected into a vessel to be taken to the Chief Priest.
The sacrificial animals did not appear as if they had been bludgeoned, whipped, nailed to a cross, and pierced with a spear. This is the definition of being slain. Therefore, this scene is paramount.
The Lamb before the throne of God is in the same condition as the day that Jesus was crucified. This signifies that God has not forgotten what was done to his beloved, and there is unfinished business.
Like the seven lamps burning before the throne, the Lamb in the above passage has seven horns and seven eyes, representing the seven Spirits of God.
The eyes are a spiritual metaphor for seeing or knowing. Jesus knew the heart of God better than any human who has ever walked this planet.
The horns are a metaphor of power and authority. God had finally found the one, a descendant of David, who He could rely upon. During his life, Jesus demonstrated that he was 100% devoted to do, only, the will of God.
Isaiah wrote about Jesus approximately seven hundred years before his birth.
This is My servant, whom I uphold, My chosen one, in whom I delight. I have put My Spirit upon him and he shall teach the true way to the Nations. (Isaiah 42:1/JPS Hebrew Bible)
God wanted Jesus to teach us the way to truly connect to Him, and Jesus showed us that it was notthrough blood sacrificial religion. The mission of Jesus was to redeem us from this ideology. Unfortunately, his message was lost when his followers unwittingly began the new blood sacrificial religion called, Christianity.
Jesus was not supposed to be turned into a religion. Jesus was a spiritual teacher who was to be heard, and his teachings were to be followed. Yet, his life was tragically cut short. Even so, Jesus finished the course as a victor, and he made our Father proud because he displayed peace in the face of violence which was unleashed by his enemy, the religious leaders.
So yes, Jesus has been given authority and has taken his place at the right hand of God as David prophesied in the Book of Psalms.
The Lord said to my lord, “Sit by My right hand while I make your enemies your footstool.” (Psalms 110:1/JPS Hebrew Bible)
Jesus was granted this spiritual position because he embodied the seven Spirits of God. He knew the very heart of the Father. Jesus accomplished God’s will on Earth, in that, he did not compromise in his demonstration of the true nature of God. Jesus was unmovable.
So, what is the mystery of the seven Spirits of God?
The seven Spirits of God are not individual ghost-like entities as some may presume, but rather, expressions of God. They represent manifestations of the very heart of our Father which are displayed in seven different ways, much like humans express emotions.
This makes sense when we keep in mind that humans were created in the image of God. Therefore, we would naturally have certain traits in common with our Creator. Because of this, the study of human emotions offers a rare opportunity to better understand God.
Psychology is useful in this endeavor because it has identified the seven fundamental human emotions. They are: happiness, surprise, sadness, fear, disgust, anger, and contempt.
The seven Spirits of God represent these same emotions with the exception of contempt. There is no contempt in God. Instead, God expresses resolution, which I will discuss later, but first, I want to thoroughly examine the human emotion of contempt.
Humans often express contempt toward others. Contempt is a feeling of superiority, a looking down the nose, a scorning, an attitude that one is better than thou. Contempt is the one human emotion that is not compatible with the spiritual kingdom of which Jesus taught because it opposes the will of God. Jesus was murdered by the religious leaders because of their contempt for him. They thought that they were the spiritual leaders and that Jesus was merely a low-life Galilean who needed to be silenced.
Contempt encompasses, pride, the ego, competition, jealousy, selfishness, and self-righteousness. The spirit of contempt is a liar. It is the one human emotion that is responsible for the hostility in our world today, and unfortunately, it is prevalent in the Judeo-Christian religions.
Jesus talked about the problematic human trait of contempt with his disciples when he gave the Sermon on the Mount. In Matthew 5:43-48, Jesus was talking about how, in their culture, they were taught to love their neighbors and hate their enemies. They were taught to have contempt for people who were not like them. Jesus said, “rather than hate your enemies, bless them instead.”
Then, Jesus talked about how God doesn’t even show contempt for humans who practice evil. They enjoy the same sunshine and rain as the righteous. There is no contempt in God.
Jesus continued with another example of how their culture even showed contempt for their own citizens by rudely ignoring the publicans. In these passages, Jesus was addressing their contempt for others and trying to teach them to shed this unrighteous behavior. Jesus finished the subject with, “be, therefore, perfect even as your Father in Heaven is perfect.”
Jesus was saying to his disciples, stop having contempt for others and be like God who shows no contempt. The emotion of contempt is a human flaw which prevents man from becoming spiritually perfected or mature. It is only when humans let go of this weakness and become like children that we can enter in to the spiritual kingdom of which Jesus taught.
Jesus said, “it is not a place where you can you say it is here or there, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.” (Luke 17:20-21)
It is a spiritual state of being, and people who enter in, truly get to know God, the Creator of life. They get to experience what it truly means to be alive, to be at peace, to know what a true sense of well-being feels like. It is a real and life-changing phenomenon. What an amazing opportunity. Except, there is one problem.
Historically, God’s people have desired religion instead, and religion doesn’t lead us through the narrow gate to enter into the actual presence of God. Religion is a barrier which prevents us from getting to know God in a real way in the now, like Jesus demonstrated. Religion does not teach us how tangible God is, nor does it teach that God, basically, experiences the same emotions as we do.
So, the best way to discover the seven Spirits or emotions of God, is to empathize with God. It is then that one can truly relate to how God feels about the life, and death of his chosen servant, Jesus. By realizing God’s true emotions, one can see how the doctrine of Christianity does not line up with the truth. To do this, we must start by looking back two thousand years.
In first-century Palestine, people loved their religion more than they loved the spiritual teachings of Christ. The message of Jesus was simple. Shed the chaff of your religion, which is good for nothing but to be thrown into the fire, and enter into the presence of God as wheat that is ready for good use.
His message was, both, rejected by the religious leaders and not understood by his disciples. The ones who rejected Jesus, murdered him. The ones who did not understand his teachings, created a brand-new religion out of his death. They simply crafted a new version of the old sacrificial religion, substituting Jesus as the sacrificial lamb. Tragically, no one carried on the mission of the spiritual teachings of Jesus.
Today, Christian religious leaders occupy the position that was once held by the religious leaders of first-century Palestine, as prophesied by Jesus in the parable of the vineyard (Mark 12:1-9). Like their predecessors, Christian leaders continue the old tradition of guarding the gate to the spiritual pathway to God. They do not enter in, and they prevent others who would enter in, from doing so.
Because they are revered as righteous servants of God by their followers, they lead multitudes of people down the broad path that Jesus spoke about rather than through the narrow gate to become true disciples of Christ.
By not entering in themselves and preventing others, Christian leaders, unknowingly, create another form of contempt for their flocks, the same condition as when someone is in contempt of court. People who are in contempt of court believe that they are above the law and that they don’t have to abide by the rulings of the court.
Right now, God is calling His people to come individually before Him. Judgement starts first in the House of God. They are being summoned into the spiritual high court of God so that He can shine the light of truth on their hearts. God’s people need to receive reproof and instruction on how to buy oil for their lamps so that they will be ready for what is coming. (Matthew 25:1-13)
Unfortunately, God’s people are ignoring the summons because of their involvement with their religions where their leaders assure them that all is well. As a result, they are not answering the call to appear in the highest court of the universe, and an unbelievable number of God’s people are in contempt of court. They are simply not showing up.
So, what is going to happen?
Almost a dozen Hebrew prophets over an 800-year span have spoken about a day coming where God is going to deal with His people, and it is called the Day of the Lord. What these prophets are describing is the beginning of the process of God’s resolution.
Where humans express contempt, God expresses resolution. It is the seventh emotion of God. With God, there is a beginning and there is a definite end, and the end brings resolution.
The Day of the Lord was appointed long ago. God knew that there would be a day wen He would determine that enough is enough. Man has had a golden opportunity to make the Earth a peaceful haven, and he has failed miserably. God’s people have had ample time to choose a side, whether they are going to be loyal to the God of this World or loyal to the God who Jesus represented. The Day of the Lord is the beginning of God’s resolution to put an end to the reign of man’s ego on Earth, and it will usher in His kingdom where peace is the cornerstone.
Christians have always threatened humanity with the end of the world, a fiery day of punishment for the “wicked sinners” who have not accepted their religion. This is not true.
The Day of the Lord is for God’s people only. It is God’s intervention to deal with His people’s obsession with blood sacrificial religion, which has been addressed multiple times by multiple Hebrew prophets who were sent by God.
Come, let us reason.
Who were the Hebrew prophets, Hosea, Micah, Isaiah, and Jeremiah, talking to when they said that God does not want blood sacrifice and burnt offerings?
They were addressing God’s people.
And, who were the Hebrew prophets speaking to when they spoke about the Day of the Lord?
They were addressing God’s people, the people who God called to work in His vineyard to bless the world with the finest spiritual wine.
Instead, God’s people have made light of the opportunity, choosing the bitter wine of blood sacrificial religions over intimacy with God. This is an age-old problem.
The descendants of Abraham, which include Christians, were given a real opportunity to not only enter into the presence of the Most High, but to, also, truly get to know God, the Creator of the Universe. Jesus called this, entering into the kingdom of God, and coming into God’s presence, requires one to come to the light.
Jesus had this very discussion with Nicodemus, a Pharisee, in the third chapter of the Gospel of John. In this passage, Jesus was referring to the religious leaders and their aversion to coming to the light. Jesus was saying that the words that he was speaking were right from God, representing light. However, they were choosing the darkness of their religion rather than following his spiritual teachings to come to the truth.
Jesus was trying to teach people how to enter in like him, and he clearly demonstrated that it was not through their blood sacrificial religion. Jesus did not practice blood sacrifice. He simply walked with God, and he taught his disciples that it was possible for them to become just like him, the master. This never happened because they got distracted by the new religion, and the spiritual teachings of Jesus got buried.
Christian leaders, this is where it gets dangerous. As the vineyard keepers, you have the responsibility for making sure that every word you speak lines up with the prophets and the teachings of Jesus. Instead, you recite the doctrine of Christianity that was crafted in error by your forefathers, and no one seems to notice how far off the target you really are. This is what Jesus was referring to when he said that you will give an account for every idle word on the day of judgement. This is serious business.
There is coming a day in the near future when the door will be shut, and God’s people, who have not shed the chaff of their religion, will have to work out their own salvation through blood, sweat, and tears. They will go through the great tribulation, written about in the Book of Revelation.
This will be a shock to Christians because their religion teaches them that they are safe. They are taught that the great tribulation is for the people who have rejected their doctrine, but that scenario does not fit John’s vision.
In the seventh chapter of Revelation, a great multitude that no man can number, is surrounding the throne of God. They are comprised of individuals from all nations, and kindreds, and people and tongues. They have come out of the great tribulation and have washed their robes white.
When John asks the angel who they are, the angel replies, “Sir, you know.”
This infers that John is familiar with these people. The only group they could represent are John’s fellow Christian brothers, and there is an even stronger case in point which can be gleaned when you ask yourself the question.
What group, alive today, has 2.3 billion members from every nation, kindred, tongue, and people?
Only one group fits this description, and it is the Christians.
The great tribulation is a time when God’s people will be tried like gold in the fire because they did not answer the call to come to the light of truth. Instead, they have hidden in the darkness of their religions, choosing to believe that they are just fine. When in reality, they are showing contempt for the Most High.
They will discover how wrong they’ve been when the door is shut and they find themselves in utter darkness which is a spiritual metaphor for the complete absence of God’s presence. Jesus talked about this scenario in several of his conversations, and in multiple parables, Jesus spoke about the day when the door will be shut.
Jesus said that on that day, many will say to me, “But, Lord, Lord did we not prophesy in your name, cast out demons in your name, and do many wonderful works in your name?”
And Jesus will say, “depart from me, you workers of iniquity; I never knew you.”
The shutting of the door will not be God showing contempt for his people, but rather, a process of resolution, a day that God has clearly warned His people about for the past three millennia.
You are the salt of the Earth, but If the salt has lost its savor, it is good for nothing but to be tossed out. This was said by Jesus to his disciples, the ones who were supposed to become replicas of him.
So, why do God’s people not know this?
Because, their leaders are leading them on the path that was forged in error by the founding fathers of Christianity. It is the broad path that leads to destruction. They spread a message of blood sacrificial religion that blatantly contradicts the straight and narrow path that Jesus taught. It contradicts the very essence of our Father.
Therefore, God is going to intervene.
Judgement starts first in the House of God, and this is the beginning of God bringing resolution to planet Earth. He must clean out His own House first before He can deal with the murderous dictators, sex traffickers, and other predators of the world like John describes later in the Book of Revelation.
But first, God will deal with his people. This is the beginning of resolution, and according to the Book of Revelation, Jesus gets to open the seven seals to start the process.
We are on the verge of seeing a multitude of prophesies fulfilled, and here is how we can discern the times that Jesus spoke about.
The key to discovering where we are at this time in history is to understand the seven Spirits or emotions of God, thus knowing the very heart of our Father.
We, as humans, should be able to relate since we share similar emotions with God. We should be able to empathize with God’s plight. We should be able understand the cascade of feelings that God has experienced and is currently experiencing. We can put ourselves in God’s shoes through empathy.
So, let’s evaluate the true feelings of God regarding the birth, life, and death of His chosen servant, Jesus.
The first emotion that God felt in this scenario was happiness.
Finally, a descendent of David was born, and as he grew, he fit the perfect description of the one who could be the forever king as mentioned in I Chronicles 17:10-14 JPS/Hebrew Bible.
In I Chronicles, the prophet Nathan describes the closeness that David’s very own offspring would share with God when he prophesies to David that Jesus would be a son to God, and God would be a father to him. It is evident by the Gospel reports that Jesus is the forever king. Jesus was the human descendent of David who was completely dedicated during his lifetime to ONLY do the will of God.
God was not only happy, but hopeful, that He would finally be able to fully express His true nature to humanity through this man, Jesus. God finally had a voice, someone who understood God, someone who would only speak what he had heard from God and not add his own words. The Messiah had finally arrived, and God was over the moon.
God was optimistic that humans would learn the true way and follow the example of Jesus as he demonstrated that the way to connect to God is through the spirit, not through man’s religion.
Next, God experienced the emotion of surprise.
Religion teaches that God knows everything and that God is never surprised by the unknown. This is not true.
God was shocked by the religious leaders’ response to Jesus. Not only did they shun his words, but they openly denigrated him. This was not supposed to happen as signified by the vision that God had given to Isaiah seven hundred years earlier.
Isaiah recorded a vision from God in chapter 42:1-4 JPS/Hebrew Bible, which states that the chosen one would not be bruised or grow dim until he had taught the true way to the Nations on Earth, and the coastlands would await his teachings.
That’s how confident God was that the religious leaders were going to listen to His chosen one. It was God’s will for the religious leaders to become disciples of Jesus. He was their messiah, the one their beloved Moses had prophesied about. (Deuteronomy 18:18-19/JPS Hebrew Bible)
God’s vision and His plan of sending a human with His very spirit resting upon him was supposed to succeed, but it failed instead. The battle was won by the violent who took the kingdom by force.
The will of God was overthrown by evil men. Jesus was supposed to live. People were supposed to listen to him and follow his teachings. Yet, this did not happen. The religious leaders acted violently, and the Lamb was slain.
Humans serving the God of this World won this battle when they murdered the Messiah. It is clear that they had no desire to give up their blood sacrificial religion and follow the instructions of Jesus on how to truly know God.
The murder of Jesus illuminates the truth that the will of God is not always done on Earth. It also reveals how vicious those who love religion can be, shining a light on the culprit, the human emotion of contempt. The religious leaders acted with contempt when they looked down their noses at the uneducated peasant from Nazareth. When in reality, Jesus was the spokesperson for the Creator of our Universe.
Then, came the emotion of fear.
Religion teaches that God never fears, and this is not true.
The definition of fear is a distressing emotion that is aroused by impending danger, evil, or pain.
God was greatly distressed by the evil displayed by the religious leaders. God was shocked and in utter disbelief, and gradually, apprehension overshadowed the hope of God. His chosen one was not going to be able to take the teachings of the true way to the Nations.
God witnessed in horror as the religious leaders hurled scathing insults at Jesus as he did the works of God. It wasn’t long before God realized that His greatest fear would come to pass. Jesus was going to be silenced by the religious leaders, just like they had silenced Micah, Isaiah, and Jeremiah before him.
God was overwhelmed with disgust.
God felt disgust as He heard the religious leaders plotting the death of His chosen servant. He was repulsed by the discovery of how evil humans can be. They were the descendants of His faithful Abraham, the people who God had been trying to reason with for over two millennia, and they were going to murder His beloved.
With a heavy heart, God realized that their wicked plot was going to be successful, and He shared this revelation with Jesus toward the end of his life.
Words cannot describe God’s sadness.
The sorrow was more than God could bare as He turned away from the gruesome scene of His precious Lamb being viciously murdered by the hatred of the power-ravenous wolves. All the while, the disciples of Jesus scattered into their hiding places, devoid of any understanding of the spiritual teachings that Jesus had tried to convey to them.
God’s grief was further compounded by the knowledge that the teachings of Christ would be buried along with his beloved chosen one. Furthermore, would there ever be another human who would be able to understand the heart of God, like Jesus did? Would this be the end of God’s voice on Earth?
God could have intervened to destroy those wicked men, but others would’ve just sprung up quickly and replaced them. No, the world needed to learn this lesson which would be crucial to begin the process of resolution, so in sorrow, God showed Jesus the plan.
Jesus consented to his murder because he understood the purpose. His death would show all of humanity who the true enemy is. The enemy is the spirit that loves religion more than the true spirit of God that was found in Jesus.
It is apparent that this powerful lesson was misinterpreted by his followers because they did not shed the chaff of their blood sacrificial religious beliefs. They did not continue in the spiritual path of Christ. Instead, they forged ahead creating the world’s largest religion, and look at our world today.
So, let’s review the cascade of emotions that God has experienced because of the brutal murder of his beloved servant, the chosen one, Jesus.
Let’s put ourselves in God’s shoes and get a sense of what God must be feeling right now at this time in history.
Two thousand years ago, God was feeling optimistic about humans. He believed that the religious leaders were ready to listen to one as gracious as Jesus. Jesus not only spoke the words of God, but he demonstrated God’s love and compassion through his works.
God was utterly shocked as he watched with trepidation and then disgust as these vile creatures plotted the brutal murder of His beloved servant. Then, they carried out their wicked plan, causing unbearable grief to such a degree that God has not spoken for two thousand years.
In the aftermath of the death of Christ, a new religion emerged claiming to speak the words of God. The new religion worships Jesus like some kind of an idol, but they don’t follow his instructions to enter into the spiritual place of which Jesus taught. They have changed his gospel. They have spread misinformation throughout the entire Earth. They claim that God orchestrated the murder of Jesus to use him as a human sacrifice for the supposed benefit of mankind. By spreading this deception, they demonstrate that they serve the God of this world, the father of lies. By spreading this doctrine, they prove that they have no concept of what Christ even taught or who God is.
So, what emotion do you think would naturally come next given the above scenario?
How would you feel if you had put faith in a group of people who you were trying to bless, and they viciously murdered your precious loved one?
How would you feel if the special ones who were chosen to learn the teachings of Jesus, completely changed his message, spreading a lie around the entire globe, marketing it as the true gospel of Jesus?
How would you feel if you were accused of planning the murder of your precious loved one?
How would you feel is you were accused of requiring the blood of a human sacrifice, like some kind of Mesopotamian God?
How would feel?
Of course, you would feel Anger.
It is written that God is slow to anger, and this anger has been building for the past two thousand years like a boiling kettle that is about to sound its shrill alarm as it releases steam in order to prevent it from utterly exploding.
Twenty-seven hundred years ago, Isaiah wrote about these days that we are about to experience.
The Lord goes forth like a warrior. Like a fighter He whips up his rage. He yells. He roars aloud. He charges upon his enemies. I have kept silent far too long, kept still, restrained Myself. Now I will scream like a woman in labor, I will pant and I will gasp. Hills and heights I will scorch, cause all their green to wither; I will turn rivers to isles, and dry the marshes up. (Isaiah (42:13-15 JPS/Hebrew Bible)
In the above passage, Isaiah states that God has kept silent far too long, and it is evident that he is talking about this time in history because of what he says next about his chosen one. It is clear in the following passage that His chosen servant was murdered and turned into an idol, because dead people don’t see or hear, and neither do idols.
Listen, you who are deaf; you blind ones, look up and see! Who is so blind as My servant, so deaf as the messenger I send? Who is so blind as the chosen one, so blind as the servant of the Lord? Seeing many things, he gives no heed; with ears open, he hears nothing. The Lord desires His servant’s vindication. That He may magnify and glorify his teaching. (Isaiah 42:18-21 JPS/Hebrew Bible)
We vindicate God’s servant by speaking the truth.
God did not allow the death of Jesus so that he could be used as a human sacrifice. He was the Lamb of God that was slain, and God allowed it to show us who the enemy is. The enemy is blood sacrificial religion. Jesus was not supposed to be worshipped. Jesus was supposed to be heard, and his spiritual teachings were supposed to be followed.
And, here’s the interesting part. In all the pandemonium of his death, the message of Jesus contesting blood sacrificial religion got shrouded. However, it is still evident, when one looks closely.
To the religious leaders, Jesus proclaimed that he was going destroy their temple. What was going on in that temple? —Continual blood sacrifice.
Furthermore, the temple was the only place where their sacrifice could take place according to the Laws of Moses, so with the temple destroyed, blood sacrifice would not be possible.
To the people, Jesus brought a message of good news, and he took it to the poor. Why?
Because the poor could not afford the animals required for blood sacrifice.
Jesus said to them, “Good news, you don’t have to do that because the kingdom of God is at hand,” meaning, readily available to you.
The message of Jesus was that humans can come into the presence of God without any religious rituals. We have been offered the opportunity to truly know God, and Jesus holds the keys to teach us the way. The mission of Jesus was to open our eyes to see the error in blood sacrificial religious belief. His life demonstrated that those who are loyal to blood sacrifice are missing God.
Jesus came to destroy blood sacrificial religion and teach us the true way to connect to God—through the spirit.
In the editing and reediting of the Gospels, the message of Jesus got blurred. However, the words of Micah, Isaiah, and Jeremiah are still crystal clear, so there is no excuse. These prophets, plainly, said that God does not want blood sacrifice. They all said that God only wants His people to know Him and to walk humbly before Him. All three of these prophets were brutally murdered for their messages.
Do you see a pattern here?
God sends humans to speak the truth to His people, and God’s servants are brutally murdered by the ones who love religion. This has gone on for far too long, and God is about to bring resolution. The first step will be the fall of Babylon.
The following passage was taken from the Book of Revelation when the announcement is made that Babylon is fallen.
And I heard another voice from Heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, that you be not partakers of her sins, and you receive not of her plagues. (Revelation 18:4/KJV)
Babylon is a metaphor for the Christian Church which is fitting because of all that they have in common: their temples, their religious leaders, sermons, tithing 10%, and their belief that a deity needs blood sacrifice to atone for wicked humans, ultimately a human sacrifice. Babylon is going to fall.
So, we are here to share a two-fold message. For the people of the world, we have good news that the resolution of God is coming. For way too long, descent people of the world have been disparaged, looked down upon with contempt, and threated with eternal damnation because they have rejected the Christian message. When in reality, they are in good company because God and His chosen one reject their message as well.
For God’s people, we are sounding an alarm that the Day of the Lord is at hand for you. Although it comes with admonishment, there is still good news. The door is not shut yet, and God’s hand is stretched out, still.
God is calling you, His people, to come before Him with a humble heart, to let Him shine the light of truth into your soul, to begin the process of cleansing the chaff of religion from your being, so that you can become just like Jesus and act just like Jesus.
Allow that true relationship with God to begin to develop as you study the Gospels and apply the teachings of Jesus to your everyday life.
Listen to that still small voice and allow God to guide you in the steps of obedience that are necessary to do His will.
Understand that it is possible to become just like Jesus, our big brother, our role model. Like Jesus, we can be on God’s team to bring God’s resolution to planet Earth.
For those of you who answer the call and allow God’s will to be your number one priority in ALL things, here is what the future holds.
God is building a tower of precious corner stones (Isaiah 28:16 JPS/Hebrew Bible). It will be a tower made of people who will be just like the chief cornerstone, Jesus. God’s tower will shine the light of truth to the whole world. And, just like they thronged Jesus, multitudes will rejoice to see this day. God’s tower will bring healing, offer help, and shine the light of God’s love to a suffering world.
The people of the world will see the stark difference between a tower built by a true and living God, and the Christian tower that harbors contempt. One tower will stand firm in their message while blessing their enemies and showing compassion for the world. The other, however, will spew insults and blasphemies, calling the righteous, Beelzebub, just like they did to Jesus.
Peace between the two towers is not possible, and this is what humans will struggle with in the valley of decision. This is what Jesusmeant when hesaid, “I did not come to cause peace, but division.” Everyone must choose a side.
Religion teaches that people must make a covenant with the God of their leaders, and follow their stringent rules. This is not true in the kingdom of God.
Jesus said that whoever blesses a disciple, even with a cup of cold water, has also done it for God and shall not lose their reward. They are on God’s team. Jesus said that he who is not against us is for us. It is that simple.
Jesus told the following parable called, The Wheat and the Tares. It is a spiritual metaphor for the Day of the Lord.
The kingdom of Heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. But while he slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
When the wheat sprung up and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
The servants inquired of the Householder saying, “Sir, didn’t you plant good seed in your field? Then, why are there tares also?”
The Householder replied, “An enemy has done this.”
The servants asked, “Would you like us to gather up the tares?”
And, the Householder responded, “No, lest while you are gathering up the tares, you will uproot the wheat with them. Let them grow together until the harvest, and I will say to the reapers, gather together first the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them. Then, gather the wheat into my barn.”
Later, when Jesus had sent the multitude away, the disciples asked the meaning of the parable, and here is what Jesus said.
He that sows the good seed, is the Son of Man. The field is the world. The good seed are the children of the kingdom, but the tares are the children of the wicked one. The enemy that sowed them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the world, and the reapers are the angels.
As, therefore, the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so shall it be in the end of this world.
The Son of Man shall send forth his angels and they shall gather out of his kingdom all that offend and them which do iniquity and shall cast them into the fire where there is wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Then, shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father.
In the above passage, the righteous are the ones who abide in the truth, not in the lies of false religious doctrine.
Now is the time for God’s people, to come before God, and let His righteous fire burn the tares of false religious teachings from your life. Open your hearts and minds to the truth. It will not be easy, but rest assured, God will be right there with you during the process.
Today is the day of salvation while the door is open. God is calling you, His people, not to punish you, but to shine the light of truth on each one of you, for reproof and for crucial instructions on how to get ready for the wedding feast that is coming. (Matthew 22)
It will be a time of celebration unlike the world has ever seen, so please do not miss your opportunity to be a part of this amazing time in history as God brings His resolution to Earth.
And, he said to me, “Write, blessed are they which are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb. These are the true sayings of God.” And, I fell at his feet to worship him, and he said to me, “See that you do it not, for I am your fellow-servant, one of your brothers who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God, for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.” (Revelation 19:9-10/KJV)

May God’s peace, love, and truth abound in your hearts,
