The great accuser

The great accuser, is said to be attacking a certain major religion. And yet it is that religious leadership who greatly accuses any who show concern for their congregation. I personally just spent three months boldly sharing understanding within a certain facebook group. I was almost immediately accused as a trouble maker. And today the administration of the page put out a notice to outsiders to refrain from sharing. I left the group, having warranted their persecution, as I shared what the Holy Spirit led me to share.

So when the leadership of the very same religion started speaking of the great accuser in tbeir midst, I took it personal, and the hypocrisy of the accisation was not lost on me.

Covetous, is to lie to secure that which is precious to you. You lie to yourself, and you do not see, that; what you defend, has mastered you. This is true for all who covet. Whether it is a relationship, a job, a possession, or even a religion.

Persecution is a part of having the truthbliving in us as Christians. Persecution is in fact, a reaction of others within their covetous. The pride of the Saduccees made it so they could not hear what was being said, they could only react with emotion. It is always this way with those who describe the truth in knowledge instead of acting on the truth in faith.

To use passages to defend instead of being led by what the Holy Spirit speaks through those passages, is greatly the reason that organized religion is seen as blatently bias, and false. Yes, they do help orphans and widows. But is this done to honor themselves and endorse their church? Or is it humble service with no expectations or recognitions. I have always found charity to be a very personal and sincere moment. Not a movement to regionalize a belief structure. If we let those we help know we are helping because it is what our church does, we have left the sincerity of the moment, for our pride in our covet.

The beleivers that carry the truth within them, are few. They seem fearless, because they speak with an authority that brings light where there is none. And those who consider their knowledge of good and evil as the light, have always relied on ceremonies, rituals, wood and stone icons. They have always prayed to their dead, and carried forward superstition that reinforces the power of darkness. They worship in great halls and dress in soft linens, the adorn themselves with piety and supply penance derived from their understanding of consequence. They do not habe the truth in them, they in fact are a greater form of darkness.

The great accuser has been roaming the earth. Although his emmanations have been bound, his capacity to tempt and to gather souls, has not changed, nor will it change until this earth and this heaven have ended. We are unable to exscape the will that we are supplied. They only way is to die of our desires which the will of the enemy uses to lead us. And if we desire to remain in our covet, it will master us, and it does supply the will of the enemy. The great accuser is very much in the pride of a covet.

No holy house exists that is not within us, as the kingdom of heaven is within those who carry the truth and are carried by the truth. Jesus is the Truth, and the Spirit of Truth was within the risen form of the living Word of God. That form is the Temple. The living form, the new creation, is the Church, the first ressurection. And the Rock is the will of the Father upon which that Church was built. That, was what the disciples were witness to. No man made religion can claim what the kingdom of heaven can supply to those who believe. The Holy Spirit acts through those who carry the Truth forward.

Be loving. Be gentle. Be kind. Forgive to be forgiven. Have mercy to know mercy. Give freely of all you have and all you are. So not judge lest ye be judged. If you have placed a covet between you and your relationship with the Father, the Truth cannot recognize you. All things through the authority of the Holy One. All acts of holiness come through the kingdom of God by His Holy Spirit and only from those who have died of themselves amd allowed the Truth to live through them instead. No, none are perfect, we are all of sin. But it is the moments we put ourselves aside for the sake of showing love for the Father or love for another, these are the moments that holiness works through us; a light shining out of the dark.

But you cannot have holiness come through you, if you have a covet between you and the Father, that is, if there is a lie you maintain between you amd the Father instead of His Truth. What instead you bear is bad fruit, love that carries consequence, grace that requires penance, offering hope for the recognition. The lie of a covet, is the weapon of the enemy, persecution is the reaction of hatred the will of the enemy brings to bear in those whom are empowered by their covet, led by it, mastered.

Those whom are mastered, make accusation out of fear, and hatred.

Seek ye first by the Kingdom.

In the presence of Purgatory

Purgatory

Definition: 

(in Roman Catholic doctrine) a place or state of suffering inhabited by the souls of sinners who are expiating their sins before going to heaven.

---

The following came through me like sunshine on a clear day

---

Job 14:1-17

1

“Mortals, born of woman, are of few days and full of trouble.

2

They spring up like flowers and wither away;

like fleeting shadows, they do not endure.

3

Do you fix your eye on them? Will you bring them before you for judgment?

4

Who can bring what is pure from the impure? No one!

5

A person’s days are determined; you have decreed the number of his months and have set limits he cannot exceed.

6

So look away from him and let him alone, till he has put in his time like a hired laborer.

7

“At least there is hope for a tree: If it is cut down, it will sprout again, and its new shoots will not fail.

8

Its roots may grow old in the ground and its stump die in the soil,

9

yet at the scent of water it will bud and put forth shoots like a plant.

10

But a man dies and is laid low; he breathes his last and is no more.

11

As the water of a lake dries up or a riverbed becomes parched and dry,

12

so he lies down and does not rise; till the heavens are no more, people will not awake or be roused from their sleep.

13

“If only you would hide me in the grave

and conceal me till your anger has passed!

If only you would set me a time and then remember me!

14

If someone dies, will they live again? All the days of my hard service I will wait for my renewal to come.

15

You will call and I will answer you; you will long for the creature your hands have made.

16

Surely then you will count my steps but not keep track of my sin.

17

My offenses will be sealed up in a bag; you will cover over my sin.

---

So much is said here.

Firstly, when we die of the flesh, we sleep. Do you sense the passage of time when you rest your eyes? No. You instead wake up to the present moment. 

When Jesus said to the thief,

Luke 23:43

Jesus answered him, "Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise."

We can say that this 'day' is an eternal expression of the present moment yet to come. We can be resolute in this, because of what Job has said.

Job 14:12

so he lies down and does not rise; till the heavens are no more, people will not awake or be roused from their sleep.

And this is confirmed by Revelations when it speaks of a new heaven and a new earth:

Revelations 21:1

Then I saw "a new heaven and a new earth," for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea.

Which is strangely similar to the statement of Job:

Job 14:11

11

As the water of a lake dries up or a riverbed becomes parched and dry,

Which suggests the root of physical existence, water, is lost, likely to the consuming fire that is foretold to be the melting of the elements prophesied in 3 Peter:

3 Peter 3:10

But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare.

Which is hinted at by James when it is said:

James 4:14

Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.

But we will be renewed, no longer perishable, and our former selves will not be remembered. 

Job 14:15-17

15

You will call and I will answer you; you will long for the creature your hands have made.

16

Surely then you will count my steps but not keep track of my sin.

17

My offenses will be sealed up in a bag; you will cover over my sin.

Instead we wake as the body of Christ, those who were promised to him by the Father. That present, that eternity is now and forever, it is the day in paradise, that is come.

See?

We are to be ressurected into perfection, but the correction of our souls is done before we rest. We are then, raised; renewed.

Job 14:13

“If only you would hide me in the grave

and conceal me till your anger has passed!

If only you would set me a time and then remember me!"

In this context, are we not already in purgatory? Is this flesh not condemned? Are we not tormented and ground down? Yes, yes, and yes.

Job 14:18-22

18

“But as a mountain erodes and crumbles and as a rock is moved from its place,

19

as water wears away stones and torrents wash away the soil, so you destroy a person’s hope.

20

You overpower them once for all, and they are gone; you change their countenance and send them away.

21

If their children are honored, they do not know it; if their offspring are brought low, they do not see it.

22

They feel but the pain of their own bodies

and mourn only for themselves.”

Do we not seek peace and have none? The only peace we know is not around us, but what is inside, that believers keep the is holy and of the Spirit of Truth.

And what of the reaper of souls, the harvester and his workers? Well we know there is wickedness in heavenly places:

Ephesians 6:12 

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

And what of the prince of this world? If being cast out of the presence of the Father meant  being bound to Hades, what then is this in context:

Job 2:2 

And the LORD said to Satan, "Where have you come from?" Satan answered the LORD, "From roaming throughout the earth, going back and forth on it."

And if the prince of the world who was tasked with harvesting souls, knows we are all of sin, why then:

1 Peter 5:8 

Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.

Because the enemy and his workers place mankind in trial to wear down the ego and the hope of self to exist of it's own knowledge of good and evil. So that all that remains is the faithful, and the lost.

Matthew 25:31-33

31

“When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne.

32

All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.

33

He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.

So what is hell? If all are of sin that are of the womb, and none reached heaven, what is hell but existing without hope. Hell, that is, Hades, is an eternal realm. Which means those bound for hell, are already there, and only the Law, the old mediation of Moses, or the new mediation of Christ Jesus, could save a soul from that eternal realm they are already bound to. If they were unaware of the law, then they did not know of sin, and they are whom Jesus released when he overcame the enemy.

Job 14:19

19

as water wears away stones and torrents wash away the soil, so you destroy a person’s hope.

And when Jesus brings judgement of the living and the dead, we know he is doing his Father's will. We also know he brings glory to the Father:

Romans 11:32 

For God has bound everyone over to disobedience so that he may have mercy on them all.

The lake of fire is truly where eternal souls will be cast, these are the ones whom from the time of Noah, where either bound in the earth till judgement, or remained in heavenly realms till judgement. Because of them, the lake of fire is promised. This is the second death.

But what of Lazarus the beggar? Where was this that Hades the rich man was bound to if he was not instead resting? Lazarus was promised and although he still rests, he will awaken to paradise, so to the rich man, he is asleep but will awaken to find himself condemend and bound to an eternal realm that he was fated for. Again, they are already there, as eternity is not linear, like our time is.

The appointment of existence can be considered the mercy of reconciliation or inevitability of condemnation.

So to conclude, the Law, the prophets, and the Messiah, all were placed before mankind to bring mercy, a chance to reconcile ourselves to the Father, as none made it to his presence except the one that was sent. See?

We are all in a state of purgatory

A vision of a schedule

A vision of a scheduale

The week, the day, the well established measure of responsibility.

1.
More each day. I saw a day schedule extended with a glowing hour.

2.
I saw a calender week of six, each day with a glowing hour.

3.
The third part I was not shown, I instead felt it as an understanding. Acts of genuine faithfulness to do the will of God. Serving others because the truth is in us. And the hours of the sum became a day the enemy had no power to dismiss.

Although it is not on the calender of time, an entire extra day has been established in good works throughout the normal week.

Paul and Timothy established this ethic as examples to the congregation. A group that established itself on giving up everything to be a part of a body - together in the truth.

The Holy Spirit is witness to it, our grace gives reason for it, and by the kingdom is a part of it. Establishing this representation that is missed; honoring the unseen in the seen.

Doing something in the name of someone is representing that someone honorably.

The name of the Father is doing His will
The name of the Son is acting on his Authority
The name of the Holy Spirit is by the Kingdom in faith

---

I hear the passage 'render unto caesar what is his, render unto God what is His, and render unto me what is mine.'

I see a work week that is dedicated to the established syatem of man and his authority.

I see the same work week with time every day, like a spiritual tithe, offered in prayer and thanks, and teachings.

I see the same work week; but with time added every day to honor the Father, because it is the Son living in us doing his Father's will.

I see this understanding representing a tithe of our existence, instead of a tax or a tithe to a house of man. And this established offering is recognized eternally, like a gathered harvest of fruit we have established here on earth, that is then celebrated in heaven.

And then I am reminded of the passage of faith without deeds is dead. So that this added time we spend doing the Father's will, is not just in readings and prayers and psalm, but in charity and mercies and compassion. Showing love, treating others how you would have yourselves treated. In this context, loving one another is an opportunity to fulfill our commitment to the Father, instead of considered as rewarding others with our presence. Too often to we act with expectations of thanks or reward.

The Church and the Rock

Matthew 16:13-19
13
When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, He questioned His disciples: “Who do people say the Son of Man is?”

14
They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”

15
“But what about you?” Jesus asked. “Who do you say I am?”

16
Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

17
Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah! For this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by My Father in heaven.
18
And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it.
19
I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven


---

I just wrote about this recently. I am certain that the understanding of this is holy that i share. But the religions of today weaponize these passages to suit themselves.

*The raised Son, the living Word; is the Church, just as the Rock it is built upon is the willnof the Father. The Church(temple), was destroyed and raised again in three days. The will of the Father is what that Church is foundes upon. Clear as the day.*

There is no man made religion that can encompass the will of the Father by His Truth. *We are to die of ourselves so that the Truth may live and act through us by the kingdom. Clear as day.*

Any house that stands apart, will remain apart. And individuals who bear witness of the truth that lives in them, are themselves within the truth. They who testify to it here, will have the truth testify for them in heaven. *Those who would separate themselves; believing they are favored above other believers, will not be recognized, as we are all parts of the same body which Christ is the head.*

The Spirit of Truth acts through those who deny themselves in recognition of it, and by recognizing the truth, they themselves are recognized by it. And the truth only does the Father's will. *So the body of the temple are the acts of the Father's will. As no one can come to the Father except through His Truth, Amen.*

And those who ask, receive, because those who ask, only ask because they are asking by the truth that speaks through them, and what they receive is in the form of fruits and gifts of the Spirit of that Truth. Fruits and gifts of the Spirit that comes by the kingdom; that is the same in heaven, as it is on earth. *So what is loosed is holiness and what is bound is wickedness, and both because it is by the Authority of the living Word, which only does His Father's will.*

Do not be deceived. I write this in sincere concern for those who define themselves by a house built of deceit. *Pray to the Father, mention me, have the Holy Spirit speak to your heart and mind as witness to this understanding which honors the Father through His Son.*

How the imperfect become Holy

Romans 8:1

Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

----

Peter was a denier, Paul a braggart, Thomas a doubter, Matthew a tax collector.

We can assume that like us, there was no condemnation for these disciples. Each; likely carried a certain amount of guilt. Guilt, and possibly even resentment, specific to who they were, and what they would enevitably represent. Which is the point of this understanding.

Paul mentioned that he felt like he and the others were being paraded in front of all. That sense of his, in the context of their individual weaknesses being displayed in the passages of the gospels, gives us no value. That is, until you consider that if there was no condemnation for their short comings, the guilt they carried was either to burden their conscience or to instead inspire them to overcome. What that means is, our weaknesses become our greatest strengths when we no longer fuel them with fear, but instead isolate them by the love we have recieved in grace.

Grace came to us by the Holy Spirit. Which means that up till Pentecost, grace did not exist among us.

So if we take Peter as our example: the guilt he felt for denying Jesus three times before the rooster crowed, that guilt would have not known grace until the Holy Spirit showed him that his lack of faith was what stood between him and the truth.

In the book of Acts, Peter's maturity and ability to minister in the Spirit, echoed his faith, a faith he did not have during his discipling. Peter became what he was destined to be in the Father's will. So where did his doubt go? His love for Jesus overcame it, and it was in his acts that he brought honor to Jesus, by witnessing to the children of God. *The Holy Spirit worked through Peter by the Kingdom of God which was upon Him because he carried Jesus(the Truth), within him.*


So what is the lesson? We each of us have a characteristic that will.either eternally shame us, or, will be the obstacle we overcome to achieve righteousness in the eyes of the Father. And we know that it is faith, that the Father recognizes as His righteousness working through us. So, the lesson is to have a clear conscience, and if you carry the truth in you, there is no condemnation for you, only that which your carry forward yourself.

The enemy wants us to fail our beliefs, by considering ourselves unworthy, or weak. The enemy wants his persecution to strip us of the power faith works through us. *You see, holiness is not being perfect, it is allowing perfection to work through us, despite our imperfections.*

Yes, grace shows us the sin we are in. But grace also gives us hope, if we *there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.* So we need to embrace that hope, and even in our weakness, put ourselves aside to allow the Spirit of Truth to work through us by the kingdom.

Everyday I am reminded that I am not worthy of the love I am shown. I am tempted in ways that remj d me of my weaknesses. I am tested in ways I am likely to fail. But everytime I repent, and remember I am redeemed, I recover. And then what was the weapon of the enemy becomes the substance of what I overcome with the love I have for Jesus, and by extension, the love I show others to glorify the Father's righteousness through His Spirit by His kingdom.

Romans 8:1
Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.


*holiness is not being perfect, it is allowing perfection to work through us, despite our imperfections.*

The Day that never dies

Isaiah 24:23
23
The moon will be dismayed,

the sun ashamed;

for the Lord Almighty will reign

on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem,

and before its elders—with great glory.

---

John 8:12
12
When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."

---

Revelation 21:22-23
22
I did not see a temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple
23
The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp

---

Revelation 22:5
5
There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever.

---

1 Thessalonians 5:1-9
1
Now, brothers and sisters, about times and dates we do not need to write to you,
2
for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.
3
While people are saying, "Peace and safety," destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.
4
But you, brothers and sisters, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief.
5
You are all children of the light and children of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness
6
So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be awake and sober.
7
For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, get drunk at night.
8
But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet
9
For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.

---
---

Prophetic word and holy scripture from the book of Genesis , to the times of Isaiah, through to the book of Revelations, refer to the day and the night, the light and the darkness. The metaphors create a comparison between holiness and light, darkness and the human conscience.

But I write about the reference to the end times, and those of the faith; finding eternal light in the Almighty. And all references are all based on the return of Christ Jesus, the living Word of God.

The time of his coming is well known as 'like a thief in the night.' For Jesus took the full cup of wrath for those he shepherd's over. He claims them as his own, although they were not his to claim. But none of which he was promised by the Father shall he be denied of. Swiftly, all who were promised to him shall be collected. These are not all whom were invited but are instead those who were chosen. Whether they be resting or existing; all of his will be gathered up to be witness to the wedding of he and his bride.

The light of the Father, which Jesus is the lamp, is a understanding that is kept from believers.  This light, is what gives definition, exposes what we consider image. The image of God is spiritual, and in this darkness, this existence; the image of God in us is unseen. The day we see by, and the night we sleep in, are as physical as the flesh our soul is hosted in. The light of the Father does not recognize the light of the sun or moon, as He is spiritual light, which is defined by His Word.

But in the begining, all things came through that Authority, and in the end, only that Authority will remain. Which is to say, the light that is eternal; whose lamp is the living Authority, will create a new heaven and a new earth, that honor the spiritual in the physical: a new creation. This is the wedding, that we look forward to. We cannot imagine how it will be, as what is the Authority of the physical now, will no longer be subjected to the strain it has been under. All we will recognize will be the Spirit and the voice of our Shepherd. The Light and the Lamp

The kingdom of God in heavenly realms is already the light of God the Father. And the Father is surrounded by specific entites that 'manifest the action' or 'bear the harvest' by the kingdom of God through His Holy Authority.

The power of the Holy Spirit and the glory that testifies to the righteousness of the Father, is how the kingdom of God will act through those whom are co heirs with Christ Jesus in the new day.

New Jerusalem will be a physical place like the ark of the covenant is a physical place. Both will support the will of God, both exist to supply light in the dark, truth where there is none. New Jerusalem will be surrounded by twelve gates, like the ark was surrounded by twelve tribes. The eternal life that is housed within, will be a source of understanding for those that surround it, visit it. The literal Son of God will be there, and the Father will be the light that shines there. The day that never dies, amen.

Kingdom talk

Not everyone enters the kingdom, neither here nor in heaven. That may seem obvious, but some are eternally known, and most are not. Believing in Jesus saves you in judgement from the cost of your sin. But this does not mean the kingdom is available to you. The kingdom is not heaven, the kingdom is in heaven. That also might seem obvious, but only some are recognized by the Holy Spirit and those few recognize the Truth. So although you may have defeated death by believing in Jesus, eternal life for you will not include the kingdom. Like the passge says; 'I do not know you'.

Like the other passage says, 'How did you get in here without wedding clothes, friend?'. Most will not be able to harvest fruit from the trees of eternal wisdom, most will instead find this:

"Then the king told the attendants, 'Tie him hand and foot, and throw him outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'"

Death and hades are defeated, but they still exist, until the will of the Father marries His Truth to His Creation. That marriage finds a new heaven and a new earth that the kingdom defines through Jesus and his co-heirs.
"For many are invited, but few are chosen."

So what can you do to enter the kingdom? Recognize the truth and be recognized by the Truth.

The greatest commandments

37
Jesus replied: “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’
38
This is the first and greatest commandment.
39
And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
40
All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

---

For some, eternity will be spent in a chastisement, a tribulation.  Each the mark we carry forward to our judgement. Even with that said, how difficult to lay down your self! The hypocrisy of man is alive and well in the believers of Christ! Most do not endure sufferances, most represent him is a shameful way.

I am not suggesting any are without sin; I am simply saying most only repent what they are comfortable living without, and otherwise they use grace to carry forward what they unwilling to suffer without.

The truth resides in those who recognize it. Others can recognize the Spirit of Truth by the fruit is bears, Amen. The Holy Spirit uses the kingdom of God to work through us here. But unless we deny ourselves, we only bear fruit that honors ourselves. And that is the distintguishing difference between those under Law, psychology, and all other religions; they place self as the center of consciousness and the root of the knowledge they gain of good and evil.

So even if they are witness to the truth, they are only witness to their reaction to the truth, not the understanding that is gained from the Spirit of Truth via the kingdom of God.

Understanding the Morning Star

The Morning Star was given to the Enemy in order to rule here. The enemy glorified himself with it, instead of doing the will of God. Jesus had to overcome death to reclaim the Morning Star. Jesus has the Morning Star now. Jesus will give the Morning Star to his elect. His elect will rule with an iron fist, having the authority of Truth within.

The Morning Star is the power over creation. A power that has been misused; placing creation under stress. Requirement calls upon life which is eternal natural law. But death constrains requirements with development; by enforcing an expectation through time. The seasons change, so the potential for growth is altered, and thereby: controlled.

In heaven life grows out of requirement and the seasons have no effect on it's development. A properly worked soil and a properly placed seed, render a stalk, bulb, and the crop without development against controls. The same is true for fruits of the Spirit. love is complete, and without need of development. That is available here through the kingdom of God.

The Morning Star is an authority that could deeply honor the Father by bringing understanding of the kingdom to creation. Which is why the gospel of the Kingdom, will be shared before the end comes. This bondage that creation is under must come to an end, before it can be renewed. That includes the earth and the heavens that supplanted it. The Morning Star will then be in the authority of the elect, whom will show that the power and glory of the kingdom of God and forever and ever His alone. In a new heaven and a new earth; honoring eternal truth while ruling the physically infinite.

In real terms: We derive supply to meet demand. And in heaven requirement is supplied. The difference is; one honors selfish desire and the other glorifies the will of God. The Morning Star was being used to fulfill desires leading us by our reactions to do the will of the worldly Master of this perishing flesh. Our souls were proven thereby unable to provide spiritual fruit that would honor the Father, or recognize the His Holy Spirit.

So our souls were bound, by our transgressions, and the soul is a part of the Holy One, not taken from, but created to expand spiritual life. A harvest, that the master of the world had intentions for. This is why it was God's will that hell be emptied and those who belonged to the Word of God, be retrieved. Jesus did His Father's will, and because of it, sits at the Father's right hand, now having authority over life and death.

The Morning Star is authority of the physical, and was introduced to bring eternal authority into the physical plain of existence. Paradise was the testing ground. Time existed in paradise, but under the authority of heaven, it had different qualities.

The master of this world had yet to be cast down, as the conscience of man had no knowledge of good nor evil, but simply like a child had faith and requirements. But with Eve being born of a creation, of Adam; she had a mediation  between her and God. And the serpent saw this, and supplied doubt. Eve took what doubt in, and realized she had something of her own. She then polluted Adam with her notion of choice. They both became self aware, and relied at the point of their reaction to what was then placed in front of them. The temptor, the betrayer, and the betrayed, were all cast out of the presence of God and his Authority which they denied.

So by knowledge of good and evil, the lineage of mankind has been lead to do the will of the master of this existence. That master was given authority to rule, and reap what harvest was beared, so that the sower and the reaper could be shown to work well together. But not one soul honored the Father. The entire harvest placed the field master above it's owner. So the Son of the Owner, was sent to collect, knowing that he too would be killed. And the Son overcame the authority of the Morning Star, reclaiming it from the master of the harvest.

Belief in Jesus; is denial of self and love for the Son. The enemy is defeated, the Morning Star claimed.

What is true Peace

What is true Peace

The opposite of true peace is utter division.

Matthew 10:34

"Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword."

Luke 12:51

"Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division."

---

So we can say from this, we can say that this world describes peace in forms of control. How can this be said? If the Holy One of God puts conflict in place, it is because there was none to begin with. Better said; the prince of this world uses death as a form of control; creating a sense of justice, and a state of liberation from injustice. But this is not peace, this is dominion, complete control.

So the Holy One brings the conflict to mankind in each individual. If we do not serve one another, we serve our own interests. Even as a gouped will, we are providing for ourselves with like minded individuals. If we instead put ourselves aside, to serve the will of God, the truth in us is now at peace with one another. True peace; is in service of the will of the Father.

John 14:23-27
23
Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.
24
Anyone who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.

25
“All this I have spoken while still with you.
26
But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.
27
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

---

The peace Jesus speaks of is a relationship based on love. Peace that is true, required Jesus, that is, the knowledge of him being sent among us by the Father. If we believe, and show it by denying ourselves so the truth can instead remain in us; we are loved by the Father. We have then this gift, this understanding, this relationship with something greater than ourselves. We have peace, in knowing we are truly loved.

The peace the world gives uses fear and control, instead of love and obedience. The prince of the world gives with expectation, while the Truth gives because it is the will of God. What is given in this world comes at a cost. And that is why the Son of God took the full cup of wrath for us. It was the only way to overcome the principality, so that none of those whom he was promised would be lost.

The peace he left us, is true peace. Love the son by allowing the truth to live in you. Honor the cost by dying yourself of the desires your soul grew into. I suffer greatly, I deny myself as best I can. I stumble, but I am found again, I have a shepherd who remembers me, calls me by name. I love him. In him I am at peace.

Who am I to you?

'Who am I to you?'

Matthew 16:17-19
17
Jesus replied, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven
18
And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.
19
I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven

---

What is said in this passage has been used for the will of many, but not to honor the Father, but to enable themselves.

Explaination of verse 17

Simon Peter was witness to the voice of God saying, 'this is my Son of whom I am well pleased'. That was revealed to Simon, (and the others who were there), at the water baptism of Jesus when the voice of God spoke.

---

Matthew 3:17
17

And a voice from heaven said, "This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased."

---

Explanation of verse 18

(Those who believe and have not seen are blessed.) The foundation of Jesus being the Son of God, is the Church, and, the Rock it is built upon was this revealed truth from heaven. A truth that was witnessed and did not require faith. The principality, the kingdom of death; would not be able to claim the Son of God. And that is because the Spirit within him remained with him. And those who believe this, are blessed, and the Spirit will raise them for carrying that truth into death as well.

John 8:32
Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.

So 'on this rock', is, on the fundemental the Spirit of God overcomes death in those who recognize the work of the Son of God to do his Father's will.

Explanation of verse 19

The Spirit of God, that raised Jesus from the dead without decay, is the Holy Spirit. This Spirit of Truth, is the same Spirit that Jesus sent down to be among us; to work through us by the kingdom of God. This Spirit works through us, as it does in heaven. The kingdom is the realm of spiritual life, it is where the actions of the eternal Authority of God comes from the Spirit of God through us. (All things came through the Word, and the Word is the eternal Authority).

The keys to this kingdom are the ingredients we need to have the Holy Spirit work through us by the kingdom. Those key ingredients are belief in the Son of God, and denial of self so the Spirit of Truth can work through us.

When the truth is in us, we are in the truth. The truth will only do the Father's will. So if it is the Father's will it will be done here on earth as it is in heaven, and likewise it will be done in heaven as it is done here on earth. This does not mean the will of individuals can change the pricipals of the infinite nor the eternal. What it does mean is; that we serve the will of the Father, here as it is served in heaven. So what is bound here is bound there, what is loosed here is loosed there- all because it is the same by the kingdom, which the power of, and the glory of, are the Father's.

because of the truth, which lives in us and will be with us forever

Renewal, Love, and Spirit: Jesus did the Father's will

*1. Undergo a baptism*

Luke 12:50 
*But I have a baptism to undergo, and what constraint I am under until it is completed!*

As we know, Jesus had previously been baptized by John 'the bapitist'. So what other baptism was he talking about?

To emmerse yourself is to be cleansed of sin. That is a baptism. Jesus emmersed himself in the Father's will, to be cleansed from the bonds of sin and death. *The baptism Jesus spoke of was overcoming sin by becoming the will of God, Amen.*

Jesus died. *This means essentially that the Word of God, that is, the authority of eternal life, became death, so that is could claim death as a part of it's authority.* What does that mean? It means that the intention to bring perfection into the world, had to qualify what binds life to creation, which is death.

Creation is ruled by time, and time is the action of death. After the point of conception, life which is spiritual, reacts to death which is physical. Development is actually a reaction to time, not a reaction to life. Life is complete, and a constant. Jesus is the Life. More specifically he is the authority of the Spirit of God which is the power of God and what grants Life. As the Holy One; he is of the will of the Father, and the authority of the Spirit. They are one, they are I AM. Jesus was the Son of Man whom is the Son of God, and was ressurected as the living Word of God.

*2. Mary and John at the cross*

John 19:26
When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son!

Jesus loved John and his Mother, but he he did hìs Heavenly Father's will. John and Mary were not like he. He would have hated; that in this flesh, emotional human love, was all he recieved from his mother, and from this one disciple whom could not put aside himself for the Father. The were suited for each other, as each catered the emotional needs of the other, but both denied the truth and both did not know the Father, because they were not sent from Him, nor, were they returning to Him. The suffering Jesus, had put himself aside, and in doing so, had the Spirit of Truth act through him to do His Father's will.

Luke 14:26
"If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters--yes, even their own life--such a person cannot be my disciple."

John the disciple did not put himself aside, and he loved Jesus in a human way, leaning into him like a friend. John was simply unable to put aside himself, and his reaction to the flesh he was bound within. Not unlike how a mother is uniquely bound by the flesh to her children. I suggest to you the reader, Jesus suffered because he loved them, and hated that he was unable to fully remain devoid of emotional attachment. As the passage says, he loved John.

---

37
“Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
38
Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me.

---

This again brings up the very important understanding that Jesus was not perfected until he rose from the dead. *He had not yet overcome the sufferance of the flesh,* he had not yet become this new creation.

*The logic and emotion of the human mind is encasing, a poverty we are bound to, raised by, and ultimately judged for.* Jesus had the Holy Spirit upon him, had a soul that was the Holy One of God, yet bound in this poverty; he suffered under temptation, and he had to discipline himself to remain in the Father's will. *Jesus truly fought for us, denied things we embody, condemned things we consider blessings.* In essence, we should be asking forgiveness for the love we have in one another and for what the world places in front of us to react to. Our minds should be given up to spiritual love of the Father. *We should in essence grow to despise what our body and mind and heart consider of worth.*



*3. Son of God at the gates of hell.*

Many stories and theories attempt to create a vision of what happend.

Jesus was dead.

Romans 8:11
And if the Spirit of him whom raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he whom raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you.

The Spirit of Christ, is, the Spirit of Truth. What spoke through Jesus the Son of Man, was the Spirit of Truth that came upon him in the form of a dove. The Spirit of Truth is separate from the Son of God, as much as, the two are distinct parts of God. The Soul was the Holy One, the Word of God that was placed in Mary to become Jesus the son of Man. The Spirit, or Holy Power of that Authority, came upon the Son of God, after John baptized that Son of Man. That Spirit, is the same Holy Spirit that is a part of God, and is whom the living Word of God sent down to be our councellor and teacher via the kingdom of God.
And, it is this Holy Spirit that recognizes the Truth in us, and will give life to our mortal bodies.



---

Matthew 3:9
And do not think you can say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father.' I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham.

The Holy One, is the Authority of life, which is holy and spiritual, and now the Holy One is also the Authority over death, which is physical and reliant on life to exist. The Spirit of Truth, is the power of God that is the action of that Holy Authority. And that Holy Authority only does the will of the Father/Almighty.

Jesus was raised from death, having no decay. It was the will of God the Father to fulfill prophesy with the lineage of David, and Jesus was born into sin, that is, born of this flesh, to overcome the effects of sin, and defeat death by remaining in the Father's will. God's will raised Jesus from death by the Holy Spirit.

The chosen are those who were promised to the Holy One before creation was made. They are a family, brothers and sisters that become heirs to God, and co-heirs with Jesus. They are few. Some grew in the Law only to believe in the Son, and are now saved. Others were saved by grace and live to show righteousness is the Father's alone. They all live in sufferance, as they are not of here. They were chosen before they were born. Coming here; they become what the truth in them defines them as. They are in the truth as much as the truth is in them. They will know no condemnation, because they are dead so that the truth may live in them instead. They all have been saved by grace, meaning, they repented after being made aware of the truth. They still stuggle, they are still tempted, and they suffer. But all of this is temporary. They are a holy family. They are children of God.

Romans 8:1-17
Life Through the Spirit

1
Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,
2
because *through Christ Jesus; the law of the Spirit who gives life, has set you free from the law of sin and death.*
3
For what *the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering.* And so he condemned sin in the flesh,
4
in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

5
Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.
6
*The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace.*
7
The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so.
8
Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God.

9
You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ.
10
But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life because of righteousness.
11
*And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you.*

12
Therefore, brothers and sisters, we have an obligation—but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it.
13
For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live.

14
For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God.
15
The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.”
16
*The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.*
17
Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.

---

So what can we say. Life is spiritual, everything else is subject to time, which is a product of death. Life is introduced, not brought into being. The Authority of Life was introduced into humanity via Mary, whom was of the lineage of David. The human, the Son of Man, was bound by this poverty we all share. He had to overcome himself, his human desires, human expectations from relationships, and focus completely of the will of God that the Spirit upon him placed upon his heart. The Holy One became flesh to overcome death, which was the Father's will.  And Jesus was raised from death by this Spirit, this power of God. So much self sacrifice, ours is a good shephard.

We can only follow him. *Being thankful for what does not honor God; is shameful.*

I personally ask forgiveness for loving my relationships with my physical family. I ask forgiveness for being thankful for having a job, a mode of transportation, a dry and warm bed.

You are deeply loved. No, not like human love. Spiritual Love. God is Love. Show that love by denying all others forms of love.

Honduras and prophetic word for the Americas

Treat others as you would have yourselves be treated.

---

And when they fall, they will seek from those they denied, and will be trampled down, and will be ripped of all worth, their women raped, their children enslaved. They will cease to be a nation, their land ruined and uninhabitable. They will become desperate and resort to violence and this will be short lived and leave them hunted and maddend. This, is what they have brought upon themselves, having raised themselves up to the heavens and overlooking the needs of their fellow man. Calling upon the name of the Lord while defiling the blood of the Lamb in the presence of the Father. What mercy they recieve is a reflection of the mercy they showed. Eternally judged.

#Migrants
#Refugees

Every opportunity to be loving is placed in front of us to either raise us up or seal our doom.

Do unto others as you would have done to you. Treat others as you would have yourself treated.

Mercy  must triumph over Judgement.

Jesus did not use hyperboles

Luke 14:26
26
"If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters--yes, even their own life--such a person cannot be my disciple.

---

Jesus does not exaggerate. Jesus does not use hyperbole. Jesus died for the sins of mankind. There is no more sincere a person who lived.

Catholics have a belief that Jesus could not have meant what he said, because the honor his mother. So they suggest that he exaggerated. This is a complete misconception, that over generations has led that religion further from the Truth.

---

Luke 12:49-53

49

"I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!

50

But I have a baptism to undergo, and what constraint I am under until it is completed!

51

Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division.

52

From now on there will be five in one family divided against each other, three against two and two against three.

53

They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law."

---

Jesus had a baptism to undergo. Although we know for a fact he did not mean a water baptism lile the one he already had recieved from John. And we know it was not a Spirit baptism because he had already recieved thw Holy Spirit upon himself, as it was witnessed by others who heard the voice of the Father and saw the form of the dove. So what baptism did he have to undergo? He was going to experience death. Death was unknown to he and the Father. And he was under pressure to fulfill the Law and prophesy, before death encroched, before the enemy came to claim him. This was not a person who used hyperboles, not an individual who exaggerated.

Our physical life is temporary. Our physical family is secondary to our spiritual family. In the Law, the hebrews were told to honor their father and their mother. This is because ceremony and rituals were ingrained in their entire lives. Children learned the way of righteousness in the home, and celebrated and worshipped in the temple. But Jesus fulfilled the Law, as his Father was in Heaven. His family is spiritual, and he is collecting them for eternity.

---

Matthew 12:47-

47

Someone told him, "Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to you."

48

He replied to him, "Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?

49

Pointing to his disciples, he said, "Here are my mother and my brothers

50

For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother

---

Jesus was very specific. He did not exaggerate. He wanted to make a clear point that they did not know him, that they had not been where he had come from, that they did not know the Father, that his family was spiritual. Jesus was very sincere.

So to return to the passage: 

Luke 14:26
26
"If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters--yes, even their own life--such a person cannot be my disciple

---

The hate he is being very sincere about is, the more involved we become in what is put in front of us, the further we are from being witness to the unseen qualities of God. The greeks had numerous definitions for love. But as Christians we understand there is the only love when it comes through us by way of the kingdom, as a part of the Holy Spirit. Otherwise what is physical love is self defined. So in terms of what Jesus meant by hating our physical family, is our only bond with them is a perishing bond, meaningless, and unholy. So in the context of his disciples, they had to comprehend this, and recognize instead the spiritual value that comes from being witness to the will of God.

He did not even wish to recognize his physical family, because he was the son of God, and he knew they did not honor this, because they did not come from where he came from. They loved him in ways that emotion recognize. They likely had concern for him, were upset and possibly even angry with him. He was doing his Father's will, his path was a cup of wrath, for the sake of all mankind.

So Jesus did not use hyperboles. He is very much the Son of God, a part of God, the living Word of God. He fell away from the family of the womb, to embrace his spiritual family. To do so, to get what he was promised, he had to emmerse himself in death, overcome, and become then the mediator. And he did it for all those who believe.

John 14:6

Jesus replied, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

---

Post note: A Catholic whom I share with, said what about the verse, " camel through the eye of a needle is like a rich man entering heaven."

The term "eye of a needle" is used as a metaphor for a very narrow opening. It occurs several times throughout the Talmud. The New Testament quotes Jesus as saying that "it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God".

A metaphor: a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable

A hyperbole: exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken literally.

A metaphor is common is holy scripture, exaggeration is not.

Faith can move mountains is another example of a metaphor.

A Dream, a Plea, a Flight

I woke up this morning from a dream. It was vivid. And I believe it was in response to this great struggle I am having with approaching my Catholic friends with an understanding. It is really difficult for me. I have spoke with numerous other believers about it in the past 48 hours. And from them the bible passage that came up through all of us was this:

---

Galatians 1:10
Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.

---

I want the reader to understand that what is shared here is truly self sacrificing. I live Catholic people. I have prayed for their leadership and the 1.2 billion believers. God the Father knows I am sincere. And for me to be sharing with you, something that would cause tension; hurts me, like confronting a loved one.

So now; with to dream:

A grain of sand.
Grace.
Flying.

The sense of being prompted to be in determination and a sincerity, a deep sincerity. A message being delivered spoke of the grain of sand being given to me. The message was longer. It was in the form of explanation and revealed how I flew and why I flew. It was a note not to condemn me, but to remind me in a stern way that what I was given was precious. The grain of sand grain of sand grain of sand repeated over and over to me until I woke up and started writing this. There was so much more said. I do not recall it. But the key point was this single grain of sand.

---

Romans
Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved

---

I remember that the message came through in the form of a man who had rebuked me for strong words in the message I had regarding Catholics idolizing Mary. In real life he was unaware of the understanding I have shared over the last year. But in my dream he even mentioned he had given to me over the last two years much awareness of the truth.

I feel that his image was of the truth, not necessarily the Holy Spirit in form, but in essence.

I woke up to write this down and I had received a message to read Joshua 1 and also a picture that contained this verse from Isaiah:

---

Isaiah 54:10

Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed," says the LORD, who has compassion on you.

---

I remembered during the dream that I have always had the ability to fly. And the feeling of ascending and travelling was very natural and almost a comfort for me. I was reminded of it.

---

Joshua 1:7-9
7
“Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go.
8
Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.
9
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”

---

The Law fulfilled by the coming of the Lord, we were given two new commandments under his mediation: Love the Father with heart, soul and mind, and love one another. So those shoild be on my lips at all times.

---

What is the purpose of existence. There is no meaning in life, there is only the effort to support purpose which is holy, spiritual, and of the Father's will. A grain of sand given sk to accomplish in faith what otherwise is not possible. To fly. Not physically as much as spiritually doing what is only accomplished through individual belief.

Perhaps the sum of all this could be derived. The gift of faith, must be taken sincerely, as we are not called to fear or remain in weakness, no, the Lord said to Moses, and reminded Joshua, be strong and courageous. Lead them.

I will share what I have been shown. I will pray about it, then at the proper time I will fly for the purpose placed in me.

Mary is not Holy

Like All Flesh, the Flesh of Mary the Virgin belonged to the prince of this world. It is like Jesus said to Mary Magdeline in the gospel of Thomas; saying 21

21 Mary said to Jesus, "What are your disciples like?"

2 He said, They are like little children living in a field that is not theirs. 3 When the owners of the field come, they will say, *"Give us back our field." 4 They take off their clothes in front of them in order to give it back to them, and they return their field to them.* 5 For this reason I say, if the owners of a house know that a thief is coming, they will be on guard before the thief arrives, and will not let the thief break *into their house (their domain)* and steal their possessions. 6 As for you, then, be on guard against the world. 7 Prepare yourselves with great strength, so the robbers can't find a way to get to you, for the trouble you expect will come. 8 Let there be among you a person who understands. 9 When the crop ripened, he came quickly carrying a sickle and harvested it. 10Anyone here with two good ears had better listen!

They had to take off their clothes to give them back to the owners of the field in order to make their payment for using the owner's domain; whichnin context is the flesh. The flesh is corrupted. We are born into death. The only thing that is Holy, is the breath of life within us. And the Breath of God that placed Jesus Through the Holy Spirit in the Virgin Mary was not from man, but was placed in the womb of the flesh, which is absolutely what brings corruption into this world.

I love Catholics because they love the Father. But I deeply am disturbed by the use of the Virgin Mary as an icon. They are blind to the destructive nature of worshipping icons, praying to dead men and honoring a man made church that itself places priests between believers and the blood of the Lamb which is utter forgiveness for sin. We are not Jews in the temple we are not old wine. There's a difference.

Catholics are not the only religion that is deeply false. it is an inspired understanding. I was reading the Gospel of Judas.

Here:

They [said, “We have seen] a great [house with a large] altar [in it, and] twelve men—they are the priests, we would say—and a name; and a crowd of people is waiting at that altar, [until] the priests [… and receive] the offerings. [But] we kept waiting.”

[Jesus said], “What are [the priests] like?”

They [said, “Some …] two weeks; [some] sacrifice their own children, others their wives, in praise [and] humility with each other; some sleep with men; some are involved
in [slaughter]; some commit a multitude of sins and deeds of lawlessness. And the men who stand [before] the altar invoke your [name], [39] and in all the deeds of their deficiency, the sacrifices are brought to completion […].”

After they said this, they were quiet, for they were troubled.

JESUS OFFERS AN ALLEGORICAL INTERPRETATION OF THE VISION OF THE TEMPLE

Jesus said to them, “Why are you troubled? Truly I say to you, all the priests who stand before that altar invoke my name. Again I say to you, my name has been written on this
[…] of the generations of the stars through the human generations. [And they] have planted trees without fruit, in my name, in a shameful manner.”

Jesus said to them, “Those you have seen receiving the offerings at the altar—that is who you are. That is the god you serve, and you are those twelve men you have seen. The cattle you have seen brought for sacrifice are the many people you lead astray [40] before that altar. […] will stand and make use of my name in this way, and generations of the pious will remain loyal to him. After him another man will stand there from [the fornicators], and another [will] stand there from the slayers of children, and another from those who sleep with men, and those who abstain, and the rest of the people of pollution and lawlessness and error, and those who say, ‘We are like angels’; they are the stars that bring everything to its conclusion. For to the human generations it has been said, ‘Look, God has received your sacrifice from the hands of a priest’—that is, a minister of error.

But it is the Lord, the Lord of the universe, who commands, ‘On the last day they will be
put to shame.’”

---

Basically I feel that the disciples created a religion that did not honor God, it honored God through them and not to put to fine a point on it, but the Catholic Church and the Russian Orthadox are very likely the end result of this. Although ANY who place themselves between believers and the forgiveness of sin - is false.

That is the key here. The Father gave up his Son so that who soever believes in him shall not perish but will know eternal life. The blood of the Lamb of God was the final sacrifice upon the alter that was accepted. So no priest is true that stands before an alter; placing himself between believers and the Father.

So that is why they 'use my name in a shameful manor', and these religions are, 'have planted trees without fruit'.

It is insightful, and it is also disturbing.

You are deeply loved
