PROVERBS 16

If there was one book in the bible that I had to choose to read from for the next hundred years, it would be the book of Proverbs. This book of wisdom contains some of the most profound and life altering teachings one can find. In many cases, it is the key to unlocking many of the mysteries of scripture. Proverbs is a road map to finding the Kingdom (Reign) of God (Spirit of Truth/Life/Love/Power) within, and it is a guide to peace, power, and a perfectly lived life.

With that being said, if there was one book in the Proverbs that I believed everyone should understand clearly, that book would be Proverbs 16. Within this profound simple chapter lies the answers we have all been waiting for. The advice given in this great chapter is a life changer. If the words of this chapter are taken to heart and understood there is no telling what you could do with your life. If one lives by the words written here, no one will be able to contain your joy and nothing will be able to stand in your way. This is why wisdom is called a tree of life.

Proverbs 3:13 Happy is the man that findeth WISDOM, and the man that getteth understanding. 14 For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold. 15 She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her. 16 Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour. 17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. 18 She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her.

Wisdom in the scriptures is valued above all things… This is the TREE OF LIFE that we all circle around and pray to take hold of. It is WISDOM that breaks the chains of iniquity, wisdom that sets the captives free, wisdom that heals the broken and guides the lost. In all our getting, we are told to GET WISDOM!

Proverbs 4:7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.

Wisdom is the PRINCIPLE THING… The question then becomes, what WISDOM must we find?

Is it the wisdom to rule your life? The wisdom to co-exist with others? The wisdom to do what is right? … It is my belief, it is all of these and more. In fact, it is the WISDOM of the TRUTH, knowing the truth and having it operate in your life, that sets a person free. It is the WISDOM of who you are… who you REALLY are… and what that means.

Lately, I have been in deep thought over what I should next write to you all. Within me there was a desire to share something, something of great importance, but what that was I did not yet know.  Over the years I have learned not to force things. We must allow these things to come to us, we must allow the process of birth to take place first within and then when the moment of birth is come, that gift is then to be shared without. So, after days of waiting upon the LORD (the existing one, the one who truly exists) proverbs 16 came to me in a most wonderful way.

I quickly opened this wonderful chapter and began to read. It was then I knew I MUST share this with all of you. So, in this short essay I will, line by line, break this chapter down. Because it is my great hope that understanding these words will in fact change everything for you.

PROVERBS 16:1 The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the Lord.

This first line is quiet interesting, it tells us that the LORD is in control of all things. The word “Lord” in this passage literally translates into “the existing One”… The ONE true Lord. The ONE that is all… As Ephesians states, One Lord, One Baptism, One Faith, One God and Father, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. Notice the word, ONE? This means, God is all there really is. We are all ONE with this great spirit of creation. It exists in all, through all, and is in control of all. God is all that really exists. Yet we have all been blinded to believe differently. We have believed that our EGO is in control, and we have allowed our EGO to create new Gods for us to worship, our Ego tempted us much like Jesus in the garden, stating if we worship it, (which most do), then all will be ours… The problem is, the EGO is a liar and the father of all lies. There is no peace to be found in lies, only destruction. Because a LIE only seems to exist. When the TRUTH comes the LIE will be destroyed. This, my friends, is why we suffer.

Everything is from the LORD, yet we don’t believe this. We have allowed our EGO to take over, and we have been filled with fear and greed and lust and hate and every evil thing because of it. This is why we are tormented day and night, because the TRUTH of who we all are is FIGHTING TO BREAK FREE. We will either come to the truth and be broken, or we will be broken by the TRUTH of LOVE. You see, in the TRUTH there is peace but when one is ruled by lies, there is great torment. There is a great war within us. Our Ego fights to keep us focused on everything but the truth. These are the cares of the world (lusts) that strangle the truth. Our Ego keeps us running scared, because when ruled by lies and fear one cannot think clear.

Our FEAR is the root cause of all of our suffering, and there is great torment/testing in fear. Which is why we must embrace LOVE for all, because we are the ALL and the ALL is ONE. When we LOVE we are free, because there is no torment in love.

1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

Now why is LOVE so very important? The reason is simple, if there is only GOD and everyone is one with God, than what we do to others, we in fact do to ourselves. Let’s take that line of thinking a bit farther.

If you HATE your neighbor, you will experience hate. If you are not compassionate to another in their time of need, you will experience the same. If you judge, condemn, tear down, mock, hurt, rob, or murder another you will experience the suffering that goes along with it.

What you do to others, you do to yourself. This is why LOVE is the key. When we love we are patient, gentle, kind, long suffering, meak, we do not strive, we do not debate, we do not condemn, we do not fail, we overcome, we find peace, and we know God as God knows us, as ONE. When we LOVE we have no FEAR, because PERFECT LOVE casts out fear. There is power in LOVE, there is hope, there is inspiration, there is unlimited potential in Love. In fear, there is weakness, anger, regret, sorrow, envy, and every other evil thing.

The problem is we have left our TRUE LOVE, we have LEFT the TRUTH and followed after the LIAR. We have DIED to our true nature and now we suffer. We suffer because rebellion against the TRUTH brings fear and in fear their is torment. When ruled by the EGO, we are selfish and cruel, and we are hopeless. Sadly, we have become a people addicted to the torment of the EGO. We speak more of what we cannot do than what we can, we think more about what we don’t have than what we do. We are lost in the web of lies that the EGO has spun, and we (thinking we are our EGO) believes it is foolish to live any other way, or to think differently. This is the very definition of insanity.

2 All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the Lord weigheth the spirits.

When ruled by the EGO we think our actions are justified, but the ONE WHO TRULY EXISTS judges the thoughts and we are either justified by them or condemned by them. God is not mocked what ever a person sows they shall also reap.

3 Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established.

Scripture tells us time and time again that we must take our thoughts captive, to test these spirits (thoughts) to see if they are rooted in the LORD (the one who really exists/truth/love/peace), we are told what thoughts we should entertain… Thoughts of peace, hope, kindness, charity… When we commit ourselves to this, our thinking will change and we will operate out of truth instead of lies. Then we will have a bigger idea of who we are, and when we have this faith, all things will be possible.

Philippians 2:4-6
4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

The same mind in Christ, is IN YOU… the same mind that tells you that we are equal to God, for we are ONE. In the Father and the Father in you… With this understanding, you will begin to see that you create the good and the bad that happens in your life.

Many refuse to accept this great truth. Convinced that the bad that happens is not our own doing, but that somehow we are victims of an outside force. Yet, the one who exists within you, who IS you, makes all things FOR YOU!

4 The Lord hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.

Notice, how the LORD MADE ALL THINGS…FOR HIMSELF! It does not state the LORD makes all things for his creation, but for HIMSELF… Because there only is GOD!

Everything we endure and experience in this life, is a creation of God… The good, the bad, the beautiful and the ugly… The creative force within us creates all things through us, and for us. EVEN TERRIBLE THINGS. Because in the end, they will all have served their purpose.

We find in the scriptures that God created, and hardened the hearts of terrible men and women, like Pharoah so a great purpose could be carried out. And PHARAOH is an ALLEGORY of man’s EGO and HIS POWER IS YOUR SHAME…

Isa 30:3 Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.

We have been slaves to our EGO and prisoners in the LAND of confusion and ignorance for too long. The only way out is to boldly declare the name of the LORD to your EGO… I AM THAT I AM… and understand that LOVE is your salvation. To understand that how you judge situations and people will become your experience….Because by how we judge we will be judged… Whatever YOU believe in your heart WILL BECOME!

5 Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.

To exist out of your EGO is to be proud in your heart, and this is a recipe for disaster. You must understand who you REALLY are, cannot hate, and so when you operate out of anything but love, you will be rewarded with the same.

6 By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the Lord men depart from evil.

LOVE is the key to peace of mind, TRUTH and MERCY destroys the sin (foolish thoughts) in your heart and keeps you from making the same mistakes again. Which in turn makes the life you are living here more enjoyable.

7 When a man’s ways please the Lord, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.
8 Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues without right.

You will find that when you are at peace with everyone, you have no enemies. But mankind has been tricked into believing the individual matters more than the whole. This is why we see war, poverty, crime, tyranny, abuse, and worse… The more you care for others, the more you will be cared for.

9 A man’s heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps.

Your EGO may convince you to think that who you are in this world is in control, but it is WHO YOU REALLY ARE that is bringing every one of your experiences into existence. Sow hate you will receive suffering. Make peace and you will know peace. Act selfishly you will always have want and fear. Live humbly and the world is yours.

10 A divine sentence is in the lips of the king: his mouth transgresseth not in judgment.
11 A just weight and balance are the Lord’s: all the weights of the bag are his work. 12 It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness: for the throne is established by righteousness. 13 Righteous lips are the delight of kings; and they love him that speaketh right.

Our thoughts and words have power… OUR TRUE NATURE is LOVE… So it is an abomination to act otherwise. When we transgress who we really are, we create a false reality for ourselves, we create a hell, within which we must suffer. The power of life and death is in our tongue. Our words and thoughts have great power.

14 The wrath of a king is as messengers of death: but a wise man will pacify it.

When we act out of ignorant rage, we create great hardship for ourselves… When we operate out of wisdom, when we operate out of truth and love we create peace in our lives… If only you could truly believe this, your whole life would change for the better, instead of creating a life of sorrow and pain.

15 In the light of the king’s countenance is life; and his favour is as a cloud of the latter rain.

The LIGHT is a symbol of understanding, a person’s countenance is what is before and behind them, it is their experience, when we understand these things we find LIFE… and within this life is joy unspeakable. We must not act foolishly, we must no longer follow our fears and be snared by the lies of our ego. We must think before we speak, and we must test our thoughts before we set in our heart that these thoughts are true.

16 How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver!
17 The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul.

To find the truth within you is the great treasure that has been hidden in the field, as the scriptures state. When we find this treasure we MUST rid ourselves of everything we foolishly valued before it. When we do we find REST!

18 Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.

You may say you can’t forgive some, that some do not deserve your love, you may find that you want to hold onto past hurt feelings and say things like, I CANNOT FORGET OR FORGIVE… Well my friend this is the Pride that goes before the fall… You are setting yourself up for more heartache, more pain, more hate, more of the same. But to embrace love erases past wrongs and sets a person free.

19 Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.

Why is it better to put others, even your enemies above yourself? Because in so doing you lift yourself up out of your self created hell… we must embrace love to be free… How you think and act determines your experience and shapes your world…

20 He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the Lord, happy is he.
21 The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.

How you handle things decides whether you will find good or bad… it is all in your power. Whoever trusts in the wisdom of Love finds happiness, and will find never an end to what one may know.

22 Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that hath it: but the instruction of fools is folly.
23 The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lips.
24 Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.

As above (what you think) so below (what you experience)… this is why the Proverbs state we must understand the power of our thoughts and words, and that the right words are sweet to the soul health to our bones. Now it may seem right to behave how everyone else behaves, to think the way everyone else thinks, but the world’s ways are not our ways… and when we act contrary to our nature, we suffer. Think of the torment of the drowning man who is meant to breath air, how he suffers if he tries to exist in an environment that is not natural for him. If we act out of our nature there are repercussions, and those repercussions are like the water flooding the drowning man’s lungs forcing him to return to his natural and perfect state of being.

Read these next lines and see how we actually imagine evil for ourselves because this world (our lusts) and the ruler of this world (our Ego) has convinced us that good is evil and evil is good.

25 There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
26 He that laboureth laboureth for himself; for his mouth craveth it of him.
27 An ungodly man diggeth up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning fire.
28 A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends.
29 A violent man enticeth his neighbour, and leadeth him into the way that is not good.

These four passages proclaim the state of mankind’s heart… we have been brainwashed to believe getting ahead of others is our right, that its a dog eat dog world, that nice guys finish last, and that the only way to happiness is the one who ends up with the most THINGS… We have been brainwashed to hate, to lie, to cheat, to do whatever we have to to get ahead… and this is why people hurt today. Because these terrible beliefs we bring to pass by believing this is just how things are. People plot, and scheme as to how they can get someone back for how they have been wronged. People plot and scheme and tempt people to be what they foolishly decided them to be in their hate filled hearts.

30 He shutteth his eyes to devise froward things: moving his lips he bringeth evil to pass.

Our EGO is the cause our suffering, it is that voice in our head saying… hate this person, get that person back, you will never be loved, you will never get ahead, you will never be happy… and when you believe these lies you bring this experience to pass. However, if you don’t… IF you take hold of the TRUTH and understand that… YOU ARE OF GOD… And who you REALLY are IS greater than who you think you are or have been… then you will know LIFE EVERLASTING!

1 John 4:4
Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

There is nothing that can hurt you but you!

31 The hoary head is a crown of glory, if it be found in the way of righteousness.
32 He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.

It’s time to RULE WISELY! It’s time to wake up to your RIGHTEOUSNESS! It’s time to let go of hate and fear and embrace LOVE AND TRUTH! Because in the end, it is ALL IN YOUR POWER TO DO SO… one way or another. It’s always been up to you… RETURN TO THE LORD (The one who really exists) and LIVE!

33 The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing thereof is of the Lord.

Peace to you and yours,
Jacob

The Devil Is A Lie!

Jacob Israel8 Comments

The Devil Is A Lie!

The truth of who we are has been hidden for ages. However, today many of us are waking up to the real possibility of peace, joy, and harmony. Below is a video called, “the devil is a lie” which I do hope you enjoy. At the very least it will provoke you to ask yourself, “is what I believe, true?”

In one of my favorite parables in scripture, the author describes the heart of man much like a wheat field. Sadly, like any garden, weeds also appear. In this parable, we are told that directly after the planting of the wheat (which is an allegory of the truth), tares were planted by an enemy.

While we slept an “Enemy”, which you will find is another word for what Freud called our “ID”, or as I call it, our “carnal ego” planted TARES. These tares of course are a symbol of lies.

Let me explain, WHEAT has SEED (truth) – TARES do not… And Tares can destroy the wheat if the field is left unattended.

So, we see a picture of mankind’s heart…. While the MAN or WOMAN sleeps (is ignorant, or unconscious to what is really going on) this ENEMY of TRUTH plants lies in their heart.

Now, when we were young it was hard for us to know the difference between the lies and the truth, this is why we learn in this parable that the messengers/angels were held back until the harvest to pluck the TARES/LIES out of our heart. Because until the TRUTH grows up and matures within us, it is very difficult to know the difference between a lie and truth. So, the story goes that the messengers were told to wait until both mature before trying to rid the field of tares, because if they didn’t the wheat might be lost instead.

This is a great revelation for us… because it tells us that there is a reason for the lies within the heart of man today. It also tells us that there is a time when the TRUTH matures that these lies will be done away with.

This is my hope.

This enemy that we find in this story is called the DEVIL. We know from scripture that the DEVIL is A LIAR, the FATHER OF ALL LIES, and that there is NO TRUTH IN THE DEVIL. This is also a revelation, for if there is no truth in something, it cannot ultimately be real, UNLESS WE MAKE IT SO.

This ENEMY has ruled this world for far too long, today the devil is revealed, it is a beast that is and is not and yet is, (as scripture states), this devil is WHO YOU IGNORANTLY THINK YOU ARE AND BELIEVE YOU ARE NOT!

This video called “The Devil is a Lie”, uses scriptures to explain how the Devil is not a spooky spiritual being outside of us, but it is the LIE of who we thing we are, it is MAN’S EGO… Let me share a couple of scriptures to illustrate this point for those who have not read my articles on what devils, demons and satan is…

John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, (a creation of your EGO) and the lusts of your father (Your EGO) you will do. He (man’s ego) was a murderer of (the truth/who you really are) from the beginning (being born), and abode not in the truth (did not exist in the TRUTH), BECAUSE THERE IS NO TRUTH IN HIM (your ego).. When he (your ego) speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own (LIES): for he (THE EGO) is a liar, and the father of lies.

As stated earlier, IF there is NO TRUTH in the DEVIL (Man’s ID or CARNAL EGO) than that means the devil (your carnal ego) is not REAL and TRUE… Something cannot truly exist if there is NO TRUTH in that thing… This is why the scriptures states…

>Revelation 17:8 The beast (MAN’S EGO) that thou sawest was (Seemed to exist), and IS NOT (does NOT EXIST); and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit (ignorance has no foundation)…. when they behold the beast (EGO) that was, and IS NOT, and yet SEEMS TO BE.

I encourage you all to do a search in the scriptures for every scripture that talks of DEVILS, DEMONS, AND SATAN… you will find that this MURDERER OF THE TRUTH is compared to false beliefs, lies, made up gods, idolatry, an adversary, a condemner, a waster, a destroyer etc etc… the CARNAL EGO’S job is to DRIVE US back to the TRUTH of WHO WE ARE… Which is why the disciples turned unbelievers over to SATAN for the destruction of their flesh (lies/death) so their SPIRIT (TRUE NATURE) CAN BE SAVED…..

1 Corinthians 5:5 To deliver such a one unto SATAN (THE TESTING OF THE EGO) for the destruction of the flesh (THE CARNAL MIND AND LIES), that the spirit (THOUGHTS of LIFE, LOVE/GOD) may be saved….

Please do not just believe what others say, because this is another trick of the DEVIL (EGO)… Study to show yourself approved! Enjoy this video and please do share, subscribe, comment and support, peace to you all Jacob CLICK THIS LINK FOR THE VIDEO.

SEALS ARE LOOSED

Jacob Israel10 Comments

SEVENTHSEAL

FINALLY, THE SEALS ARE LOOSED!

1 Corinthians 2:7
But I speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God/I AM ordained before the world unto our glory

I’d like to welcome you all into my heart once again. A lot has changed over the years I began sharing openly here. However, never before have I been so excited.

If you know me, you know I love you, and this is why I do what I do. It is not profit, it has never been for gain, my payment is being able to put these thoughts out here and to see others who see what I have seen, and written, to share with the world.

You are my reward and my everlasting promise and for this I am grateful. Thank you for taking the time to read these words, and for communicating it’s message with those you see fit. Thank you for subscribing, and for sharing, and for calling, and for telling me how wonderful it is that we have all found each other, once again.

I want you all to know, that I am always available to you and for you, and those who know me, know this to be true. So please reach out if you would like, I am not some far away tickler of ears who only responds if there is something to gain. No, that is not who I am. I am who I want to be… Jacob… a man who simply wants to help others be set free from the thoughts that we are not.

So please enjoy this latest essay of mine. Let me begin by sharing a poem, that sums this paper up beautifully.


THE GREAT AND TERRIBLE DAY
They say, there will be a day, when some will be tricked into endlessly weeping and gnashing of teeth.
They say, there is a place of endless torture beneath, but this place is merely one’s lack of peace.
They say there will be a day like this for you and me.
However, we were born free and were tricked into thinking peace and joy was outside of us, you see?
Cast into this land, where ignorance has an upper hand, believing our ego is who we were born to be.
Tricked, fooled, deceived to allow lies and fear to rule, in a place where weeping and gnashing of teeth has become the experience of you and me.
You believe, you believe in those who deceive, and this is why you think salvation is far away, instead of knowing it is within you this day.
Outer Darkness is the darkness of living without instead of within.
This is the crown of thorns placed on the horn of truth that has been hidden by this great and terrible sin.
This is all your creating, this is all your imagination to begin.
You’re not the slave who behaves like your nine to five keeps you alive, no, that is not you, no, that is not true, that is what the ancients meant when using the word sin.
You have simply missed the mark, which is always in the center of the heart, which is love’s spark and keeps beats with the world.
You have believed you were simply a helpless boy or girl, lost in an unending whirl or worries, fear, and doubt.
This is why the herald shouts, “GO WITHIN, GO WITHIN, GO WITHIN AND YOU WILL FIND YOU ARE THE END AND THAT WHICHS BEGINS!” So arise oh sleeper and stop putting your faith in that which is WITHOUT!

I have titled this essay, “Let Us Make Man In Our Image”, then I changed to the “Seals Are Loosed” as I wrote it, as if I was meant to do so.

So let me start at the beginning, because if one understands the beginning they will understanding the end.

GEN 1
26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

When I was a child I was taught, by people who presented themselves as knowing better, that this passage in Genesis meant there was some God out there in space, or another dimension, that looks very much like Santa Claus on Steroids and that he made mankind to LOOK LIKE HIM. That is what I was told the IMAGE of God was. An image many say is like a picture, or a painting, or something that basically LOOKS like something else.

Now where this theory falls apart is that the very scriptures we have been taught are the inspired word of said Creator, are infallable, which means if something in these scriptures says NOT TO THINK of GOD in such a way, we shouldn’t. In fact, there is a clear instruction in scripture against picturing God as this MAN in the sky who created us all.

Exudos 20
1 And God spake all these words, saying, 2 I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. 5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them:

I want to point your attention to verse 4, where the “commandments” clearly state, not to make ANY GRAVEN IMAGE or LIKENESS that is IN HEAVEN ABOVE, or EARTH BENEATH…. – Meaning, we shouldn’t be picturing God like us, now should we? — And again in other places we find the same…

Romans 1:23
And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

Yes, that’s right, we have been tricked into believing in some God in the sky, who looks like us, acts like us, and thinks like us… which is why we have all accepted the HORRIBLE DOCTRINES of the day, like infinite torture, the rapture, the trinity, speaking in tongues, the list goes on and on…

Yes, God created man IN HIS IMAGE and then the IMAGE of God, created a GOD in the IMAGE’S IMAGE… (Hope that wasn’t too confusing.)

And my friends, this is the BONDAGE that is written of in the scriptures… Pictured as Egypt, Hell, the pit, the sea, and much more… The BONDAGE that we are RELEASED from.

Exudos 20
2 I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

And what is that BONDAGE you ask?

The BONDAGE IS WHO YOU THINK YOU ARE BUT ARE NOT…. This is the beast that IS and is NOT and yet IS… your EGO!

The BONDAGE is our IGNORANCE, it is the FEAR this IGNORANCE (DEATH) CAUSES. It is our IGNORANCE that causes all of our pain, this is the very HELL we read about, which is also called the GRAVE, THIS IS THE CORRUPTION of man… But one day we will wake out of our slumber into the TRUTH of who we REALLY ARE.

Romans 8:21
Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

That scripture that speaks of becoming incorruptible has nothing to do with getting super human bodies that never break down… we are not our bodies people… The CORRUPTION is the THOUGHT that we ARE and the BELIEF that we are SOMEONE AND SOMETHING we are NOT. OUR MINDS, our thoughts, have been corrupted.

This is pictured in the allegory of of Jesus being crusified at Golgatha… Jesus = TRUTH, LIFE, The WAY put to death at THE PLACE OF THE SKULL= YOUR MIND.

In between TWO THIEVES — These THIEVES are the TWO MEN AND WOMEN in your bed (body) — the ying and the yang, the good and the bad… You are neither good not bad, YOU SIMPLY ARE. You became CORRUPT (Ignorant of the TRUTH) the MOMENT you starting EATING from that TREE. Believing there is a good part of you or a bad part of you.

You see the THIEF is anyone who tries to get into the Kingdom any other way, but WITHIN!

You see we became corrupt the instant we forgot who we truly were and began to believe in this IMAGE that we are not. And out of this ignorance we created more lies to believe in, further pushing into the outer darkness of this thing here we call life. And in this OUTER DARKNESS. In this OUTER DARKNESS there is suffering, weeping and gnashing of teeth (anger/back biting/etc). We were cast into this horrible ignorance after we bought into the lie that we are what others said we are, and when we began looking for our salvation and peace OUTSIDE OF US.

What is OUTER DARKNESS?

Matthew 8:12
But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth

The OUTER DARKNESS is the IGNORANCE that OUTSIDE OF US is where we should place out faith. And sadly, everyone does this. They WAIT for a SAVIOR outside of them, WAIT for a HEAVEN after they die, WAIT for a bank statement to feel secure, WAIT for someone to treat them right to feel loved, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT…

Everyone has been tricked into WAITING for something that is ALREADY AVAILABLE within them.

Luke 19:9
And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house

Once the TRUTH is revealed, the day of SALVATION is HERE! And what we need to be saved from is the false belief that we are something we are not, and that it is blasphemous and terrible to even think about who WE MAY BE…

The TRUTH to who you are is revealed… EVERYTIME you ask… “WHO AM I”… “I AM” is the answer… yet we have added more… We have said, “I AM (Jacob)”

Now how did this happen? Well I have written about this many times before, but let me further explain how this MAN named JACOB was created… FORMED FROM THE DUST OF THE GROUND

“Jacob” is a name given to me by parents, my experiences “FORMED” me into this man I know to be Jacob. There I was a little baby, pure, just out of the womb and within moments, my earthly mother and earthly father (OR LACK THERE OF) began to imprint me. They gave me my name. They said, “You are Jacob” but was that really WHO I WAS or WHO I AM?

Go up to anyone today and ask them, “Who are you?” and EVERYTIME they will say, “I AM Bob, or Helen, or Tyrel, or Eunice… BUT IS THAT WHO WE ARE?

The answer is unequivicably, NO!

And what is our reward for being misled, by OURSELVES/EGO… We end up sick, suffering, cast into OUTER DARKNESS/ignorance… This is pictured in every story of scripture… But watch, how even the most innocuous scripture… which means a scripture that seems less harmful or meaningless… That even a scripture we don’t pay much mind, below, is first read as if the only thing that mattered was that they LITERALLY HAPPENED… Oh, what foolishness to believe in the letter which kills the truth within, instead of the LIFE GIVING SPIRIT the story has to offer.

Read with blinders first…

MATTHEW 8
5 And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him,
6 And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.
7 And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.
8 The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but SPEAK THE WORD ONLY, and my servant shall be healed.

No, we are not worthy of the TRUTH ARE WE? Yet, the truth is ALREADY WITHIN, it was already within for the centurian, he just needed someone to tell him the TRUTH/THE WORD!… the power to heal the illness that ignorance causeD was within… no need to go to anyone, OR WAIT ANY LONGER.

THE BLIND BELIEVE in stories of miracles and fairytales… like Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, and many other such tales… the reason this happened is because those in power locked the truth up. This continues today, the television, church, politics, news, tradition, etc, etc… the TRUTH which is hidden within the SCRIPTURES WAS LOCKED UP… sealed tight until the time appointed to be revealed to the masses to see. And that TIME is now.

Isaiah 29:11
And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it is sealed

This vision, is what a man who sees, believes about those who don’t believe….

Those that believe they are helpless, hopeless, and in need of rule or future salvation have NO VISION at ALL. They can’t see past their circumstances. The vision of who they really are and who they can create themself to be is nowhere to be found… As Isaiah says, it’s like it has been SHUT UP! Sealed, locked away, everyone has lost their ability to SEE THE TRUTH that has been HIDDEN from our once uninterested eyes… Until now…

Matthew 13:44
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field

You see, the TRUTH can be bought… BUT IT CAN NEVER BE SOLD…

In other words, you can BUY INTO the belief… but you can’t SELL IT! I cannot show you the truth, until you purchased YOUR FIELD… Until you KNOW that within this body and ego is YOU! Christ.. The POWER AND WISDOM of GOD/I AM. Oh friends, this is great treasure indeed.

The TREASURE of the word, which is TRUTH… the TRUTH which sets you free… the TRUTH of who is the GREAT I AM, and to NEVER TAKE THIS NAME IN VAIN… Now, see that with different eyes… You are given the NAME I AM, don’t take it for nothing… Don’t you dare BURY THIS TREASURE worried that you might lose it, or someone may steal it and harm you because of it. Today, is not the day for this… No, today is the day to GRAB HOLD of this treasure within! The treasure that has been hidden IN YOUR IGNORANCE.

Isaiah 45:3
And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the Lord, which call thee by thy name, I am the God of Israel.

Did you catch that?… Let me translate, or put into my own words, WHICH ARE YOUR WORDS…… “And “I” will give you truth of this ignorance, the wonderful truth that has been kept secret from you (who you think you are/ego), that YOU (who you think you are) may know the one who REALLY EXISTS, who actually gave you your name and believed it was all you were, is THE GOD OF ISRAEL!

But the day WHEN the BLINDERS and LOCKS ARE TAKEN OFF is the day we will all SEE THIS GREAT TREASURE.

This day is a WONDERFUL DAY. It is also great and terrible, because it is scary at first to hear who you REALLY ARE and what you are REALLY capable of. Before this terrible day, it was like the SUN was darkness, and the MOON was BLOOD, showing the violence and fear of ignorance played out on this world’s stage. That is what life is like BEFORE THIS GREAT AND TERRIBLE DAY!

Joel 2:31
The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord come.

But the DAY OF THE LORD — the day of the EXISTING ONE, which is what the word LORD literally means, is HERE and the SEALS have been LOOSED… As these seals are LOOSED, the blinders are taken off, the lies/demons are cast out, and this happens by the one who BRING THE TRUTH. It is the messengers power to explain these mysteries to you and set you free from them, as the messengers were once set free from.

Romans 11
30 For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:
31 Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.
32 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.

This was ALL PART OF THE PLAN… The SON (mankind) was SENT INTO THIS WORLD to have their TRUE IDENTITY put death so that eventually the SON (MANKIND) could also raise from this ignorance and teach others to do the same… For we are ALL ONE… As Jesus was the firstborn among many brethren… we are ALL ONE CHILD – One CREATION — One IMAGE that is CONTROLLED and CREATED BY WHO WE REALLY ARE TO BEGIN WITH.

But this TRUTH has been sealed away, hidden, in the grave, and it must be RISEN FROM…
Pictured here in the book of Revelation…

Rev 5
2 … a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? 3 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon. 4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.

Now, here is a GREAT REVELATION… prepare yourself for what you are about to see….

WHO IS WORTHY TO LOOSE THE SEALS? Is it JESUS? He was a man on the EARTH? Wasn’t he? Well what does that passage say about those in heaven and in earth?

3 And NO MAN in heaven (Jesus was in Heaven, wasn’t he), nor in earth (Jesus was in the Earth wasn’t he?), neither under the earth (Jesus went into hell, the pit, the grave didn’t he?), WAS ABLE TO OPEN THE BOOK neither to look thereon (UNDERSTAND IT).

Are you catching on yet? Is it me? Am I the one found worthy to OPEN THE BOOK? Is it Jacob?… Is it YOU?

Hang in there you’ll get it in a second, the seals are loosed by the one within us all, the one who is in control typing these words…. The ONE who came to SPLIT IN TWAIN AND MAKE ONE NEW MAN… And the TWO BECOME ONE, IN AN INSTANT IN A TWINKLING OF THE EYE… as above so below, whatever is bound in heaven is bound in earth, whatever you believe becomes! BECAUSE THAT IS WHO YOU REALLY ARE!

No ONE EGOMANIAC is worthy to open the book, NO ONE IS WORTHY TO KNOW THE TRUTH in the EARTH… because THEY DON’T EVEN EXIST! They are characters nothing more, avatars, like the video games the IMAGES created, in their image. Who you think you are is going to end, your body, your ego, is a creation of the SPIRIT OF LIFE AND CREATION WITHIN YOU… THE REAL YOU hidden in who you think you are, even giving life to this creation for a time, that is the POWER THAT YOU HOLD WITHIN… Can you even grasp these words?

Your salvation is NOT FOUND in another, and your SALVATION is NOT A FUTURE event, it is of upmost importance for you to WAKE UP out of your slumber and see that who we really are is creating this nightmare we call earth…

Consider this, what is impossible to the human race? The farther we seek and the more we look for, the more appears out of thin air… MUCH LIKE THE BIG BANG THEORY… much like this life…

1 Corinthians 13:12
For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

Right now, we can’t see the big picture… we look into the mirror but can’t SEE who we TRULY ARE… But after the SEALS are loosed, after the LIES are stripped away… we will KNOW as we ARE KNOWN. We will KNOW as we are KNOWN. If we KNOW as others KNOW US then we KNOW OURSELVES.

Consider what is possible today… science fiction is now science…man can fly, reach the heavens, create organs in a plastic dish, cure disease, create mass quantities of food, communicate instantaneously anywhere around the world in an instant, as a signal travels thousands of miles at the speed of light… Consider that we accept this things because we have convinced ourselvees we had to create things to do so, never once considering we have the power to do everything and anything we desire… Because who we REALLY ARE gave us that desire. IT IS OUR DESIRE TO DO SO, to be who we want to be, to see what we want to see…

Psalm 21:2
Thou hast given him his heart’s desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips.

There is NOTHING that is restrain us or holding us back, truly! The ONLY THING holding us back are the beliefs that we cannot do this or that. These are the seals… THE SEALS WHICH TODAY HAVE BEEN LOOSED FOR SOME.

You, my brothers and sisters are in control, but not YOU who is reading this right now, not the one IN THE WORLD, who is putting their faith outside of them in the world, YOU, THE ONE IN CONTROL… THE EXISTING ONE… THE ONE WHO EXISTS AND HAS ALWAYS EXISTED… YOU… YOU WITHIN THE YOU YOU CREATED…. YOU NEED TO WAKE UP… ARISE!

PSALMS 82
5 They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.
6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.
7 But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.
8 Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.

ARISE TO WHO YOU ARE! AND ALL YOU CAN ACHIEVE! This is the truth, the wonderful truth of this MYSTERY that has been hidden from the ages… CHRIST IN YOU… But the word Christ, just means, the WISDOM AND POWER of God!

Colossians 1:27
To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory

The WISDOM AND POWER OF GOD IS IN YOU!

Forgotten, after entering this world, and taking on the sins of it… Believing you are a baby, a son, a daughter, a name you were given. We have been imprinted.

We are told how to act, what to wear, when to go to bed, how to eat, how to think, how to speak. EVERY aspect of our lives, CONDITIONED, and slowly we begin to believe this is who we are. But this so called PERSON that we think we are, is a LIE. It is a creation of MEN/WOMEN, it the creation of ourself… and WE EVEN GAVE IT LIFE.
So that it now exists SEPERATE FROM WHO WE ARE!

It was formed from the DUST, the DEATH, the IGNORANCE of this world, values, beliefs, all forced upon us. But now it is time to RISE FROM THE DEAD! Rise from your ignorance and see!

We were all MADE in this DUST OF DEATH. The FIRST MAN is FORMED out of IGNORANCE.

“To be carnally minded is DEATH”.

This is why, my friends it is time to PUT OFF that former conversation you have with the image you created. Which is CORRUPT according to the LIES IT WAS BORN OUT OF.

Ephesians 4:22
That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts.

Regardless of what lies we have believed ourselves to be. We are MORE than our experiences, we are MORE than what others claim us to be. We are MORE than we have ever thought overselves to be.

John 16
I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.

A life of ignorance is a life of DEATH. If we believe we are someone, we are NOT, then in fact, then WE ARE ACTUALLY DEAD to who we REALLY are… and WHO WE REALLY ARE is hidden, waiting to RISE AGAIN… So the TWO CAN BECOME ONE!

To wake up and be able to say… As I say

John 17:11
And now I am no more in the world, but these (who read these words) are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father (ONE WHO CREATED the ONE IN THE WORLD) keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be ONE as WE ARE!

And the FIRST IDEA of who you think you are, is LAST into coming to the truth. The LAST IDEA of who you are has always been HIDDEN in the FIRST!

Matthew 19:30
But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.

The first idea of who you are is of this EARTH… IGNORANT… FORMED FROM LIES… Even though who you REALLY ARE breathed life into this IMAGE… BUT THE LAST YOU, IS ACTUALLY THE LORD FROM HEAVEN!

1 Corinthians 15:47
The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven.

So isn’t time to come to the TRUTH and put the image away…

Romans 6:6
Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

Now, my friends, I know life has been hard… But you knew it had to be so you would wake up!

Romans 8:18
For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

AND THAT GLORY is at HAND!

I must add after reading this to my friend Dean, something he shared about this day. “I taught many years ago on the Flood, and it is not the rain that floods the earth, it is the opening of the fountains of the earth… which is the truth within, after being watered for forty years, the SEED within is finally ready to BURST THROUGH… and in that moment, THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE LORD SHALL FILL THE EARTH AS THE WATERS COVER THE SEA… AND HOW DO THE WATERS COVER THE SEA?… The answer is completely.

WELCOME TO JOEL’S ARMY EVERYONE!

KEEP THESE WORDS CLOSE AND SHARE THE TRUTH WITH THOSE SO THEY MAY BE SET FREE!

THE JOURNEY – A POEM

I wrote this short poem years ago for my children. It reminds us all how we need to take the time to smell the roses, to enjoy our lives, to revel in the wonder of it all. Too many people are worried about the future, or focused on the past instead of truly living their lives in the now. I thought putting it to music and some art I found on the internet would make it more enjoyable.

PROLOGUE for SECOND EDITION “The Calling”

SNEAK PEEK at THE CALLING – SECOND EDITION.

The second edition will contain some mind blowing material that I have never shared with the world. The second edition was always the plan, to first release the allegory and then use the allegory to reveal things to people that was hidden within the novel, but never possibly saw. This is the new prologue for the second edition, it reveals the first chapter in “The Book Of Thomas James”, which is the book that the lead character in “The Calling” writes in the future, that changes the world, and also condemns him to die. I sure hope you love it. Also, signed first editions are still available at my website until the second edition release. Thank you for your support and for spreading the news about this novel.

Dear friends,

I am writing you because I believe we face an even greater threat today than ever before. The world, as you know, is quickly changing. I applaud each of you for keeping your tongues until the time appointed. We have taken upon ourselves the great and terrible task of sharing so great a truth, that if we were to reveal ourselves to the world too soon it would most surely be our end. I am filled with sorrow that I had to keep, until now, the deepest and most powerful message of them all from your ears. I had to do so for your own good, and for the good of our brothers and sisters in bonds.

To the point of these words, my messenger has delivered to each of you pages that I have labored to write for many years. This work, which may seem to the world mere fantasy, hides the key to unlocking the very secrets of creation. To those who are without, these pages will seem an idle tale meant to entertain, or the ravings of a delusional man. However, I assure you, one day these too will join our ranks to glory of the existing one.
It is of the upmost importance that you do not keep these chapters to yourself, they are now meant to be shared with other. We do this with the hope that by these words the blind may be given their sight again.

I want you all to know how deep my love grows toward each of you. I know of your many sacrifices and I have heard of your many trials, for which my heart breaks. We have been scattered as so much straw in the wind, but I long for the day that we are reunited. I ache for the moment our purpose is fulfilled and the darkness that has held mankind in the chains of ignorance will fall away and we will stand together as one people, united with one single cause, love.

I have not abandoned you. It was for your good that I went away, but know this, I have never left you and I am always with you. The good work that has begun within you will continue until my revealing again.
We have fought the good fight within and now that fight begins without. Now the truth will be shouted from the rooftops and what a day that will be.

Your life is not what it appears to be. What will happen when the truth is poured out on a world that is deceived? To that question I have but one answer, change.

We must stand firm and play the parts we are meant to play so we can be that change for those who cannot see. I
have told you in days past how you will be hated for my namesake, how you will be despised and rejected because of the words I have spoken, the very same words that were birthed in your heart.

Be of good cheer my friends, we cannot fail. We will overcome this world with good, evil will not overcome us. Regardless of bonds, persecutions, distress, famine, or war, we will always be free, liberated, at peace, full and never wanting. We have within us so great a treasure that the truth of who we all truly are cannot be hid for much longer.

Soon, very soon, you will understand that where you are, is where you are meant to be and it will be as nothing compared to what you will find when your purpose is complete.

Keep these pages safe. Keep these pages close, you will do as you are meant to with them. Never question, never regret, and never fear that you have been a failure. For every single instant of every single moment was of absolute necessity to bring you to right here and right now.

The past does not exist. The future does not exist. The moment is all you ever have. The moment is a treasure. This is why it is called, “The Present”. Blessed are those that do not condemn themselves in what they have done. Blessed are those that do not fear what may be. Fear is the root of all suffering. Fear is the father of all lies and pain. For which this truth will cast out.

The desire of your heart has been for this moment, the declaration of liberty is at hand. Let love be your guide. Let patience rule your heart. Let joy heal you in your time of trouble. Follow the path set before you even though it may seem a grievous thing. It will be your devotion to share what you find in these pages that brings you the purpose you so desperately seek.

For it will be your words and your actions that ignite this world once again, in what is most certainly humanities greatest and most terrifying hour.

Do not try and find me. Do not believe that the messenger is greater than the message. Do not think higher of yourselves than others, for blindness in part has happened to your brothers and sisters in bonds, so you could play your role in setting them free.

For now, know how close you are to my heart. You may not see me, but I keep my eyes firmly planted on you, you are never alone, for we are one.

As for this note, my messenger will see fit to release it to the world when the time is right. In such a way, that it will cause no alarm among the masses until after the truth is known.

Trust your heart, trust each other, and know that when those who read these pages are gathered together, so will begin mankind’s ascent out of this grave called life.

Keep vigil, keep the faith, keep to yourself, and keep watch for the hour is fast approaching.

Yours in the faith,
Thomas James

ELYSIUM NOW

ELYSIUM NOW

Today I took my son to see the movie Elyisium. I couldn’t help but see the writer’s ambition to show the world as sad as it is today and warn us of where it may be tomorrow. The earth in Elyisium was a place most miserable, which is very much like the lives most people are living today. The miserable on Earth turned to violence, drugs, and theft to finally make their way to Elysium, who of course is ruled by the wealthy, who only dangle that carrot of paradise to keep the poor earthlings at bay.

Isn’t this the way we are all living now? Like slaves? What if I told you the way out of your suffering is not electing the right leader, waiting for the government to make things right. Nor is freedom found at the end of a gun or revolution.

What if I told you, you hold the key to paradise within? Would you listen?

TRUTH SETS YOU FREE

Jacob Israel6 Comments

TRUTH SETS YOU FREE

Below, is a short poem and video I did recently that can open your eyes to who you really are, and help you to realize you can do more, be more, and live for more than ever before.

I have written many articles over the years documenting my many findings within the pages of the world’s holy books. I live my life to try and share this great message with all of you in many different ways. Whether it is daily poetry on my facebook page, critical essays on scripture, videos, radio, or even my novel, I live for one thing and one thing only and that is to make life better for everyone around me by sharing what I know to be true.

John 8:32
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

It is the TRUTH that sets us free. Everytime we see Jesus laying hands on someone, or healing someone, it is the LIES they believed that they were being set free from.

Scripture is an allegory. Sight is a symbol of understanding, hearing is the same. These are those Jesus “healed”, those that couldn’t see or hear the truth, those that couldn’t stretch their hands to help another, those that couldn’t walk upright in the world, those possesed by devils (LIES).

Devils, demons, these are all tormenting “SPIRITS/THOUGHTS” because they are LIES.

Satan is called the FATHER OF ALL LIES… meaning anything SATAN creates is a LIE. (Check out my article “man’s ego is the devil)… a messenger of SATAN is someone spreading LIES… Because there is NO TRUTH is SATAN (WHICH is also another allegory of man’s ignorant ego).

Jesus called himself “The TRUTH, the LIGHT, the WAY” — Jesus is yet another allegory of all of us in our risen (enlightened) state… Jesus is a symbol of how the TRUTH within man, sets man free from the prison of LIES we have all found ourselves in.

I have done many papers and videos on this topic, “garden of eden revealed”, “who am I”, “Christ’s resurrection now”, etc etc… I have written so many essays over the years it will keep you reading for the next year or so, which is what I hope you do. I hope you find the true revelation of who you are, I hope you find the TRUE MYSTERY that has been hiding within the pages of our holy books.

Because, I have found the truth is hidden within them all, told with slight variations, but the TRUTH is IN everyone of them. Now, since most of audience understands the bible, I use the bible to show these messages of truth that are hidden within the allegories found there.

For example, we know LIGHT is a symbol of Enlightenment, DARK is a symbol of ignorance. Once you understand this basic principle of scripture the truth becomes clear. Jesus clearly told his disciples, “Unto you it is given to know the MYSTERIES of the Kingdom of God”, which means, the things of God are a mystery, and the revelation of this mystery is only revealed from within, because it is given within… The next thing Jesus states is, “…Unto those without this understanding ALL THINGS ARE DONE IN PARABLE.” However, Jesus is not the only quoted as saying these things, the scriptures state, “God opens his mouth in parable, in dark sayings”. The literal (letter) interpretation of these scripture kills (makes us ignorant of the truth/life) yet, the SPIRIT of the PARABLE gives us life. It is the SPIRIT of the story, ANOTHER WORD for that is the MESSAGE of the STORY, or the THOUGHTS that are birthed within you after hearing/reading the story… In fact SPIRIT is THOUGHT. Jesus said, “My words are SPIRIT AND TRUTH”. In this life we will find both TRUTH and LIES! The question is which are swimming around in your head?

This website is filled with hundreds of essays and videos that I have done over the years which reveal the mystery hidden in plain sight. It is my hope these essays will encourage you and help you to find the TRUTH hidden within Eternity! For it is the TRUTH that sets you free from the lies you have believed about the world and yourself.

Please enjoy this short poem then please watch a short video that will encourage you.

“The MESSAGE of ETERNITY”
If you listen to the poetry of scripture you will see eternity.
For in these verses, you’ll find blessings or curses, but it is always the allegory that sets you free.
The letter kills, the thrills, that can be found when reading with eyes that can see.
For example, eyes and ears are symbols of those who understand and perceive the truth of who we are intimately.
The religious, will miss, the miracle of bliss, sets before their eyes.
For it is the spirit that gives life that they ignorantly despise.
The Kingdom,which is the rule of heaven is not a place, that can be erased, but it is the space, within us called righteousness, peace and harmony.
It comes without observation, it isn’t a literal place, that you can point and say, this is how the end will come some day, because all along, this beautiful song, is a throne upon which we create and play along.
It is this space within you and me separated by a great chasm called inability. Separating us from who we really are and who we seem to be. It is the depth, of unending ignorance, it is this hell that keeps us from living free.
It is the trick that has licked us all, causing mankind’s greatest fall, which was eating from the wrong tree for far too long.
When all along it is wisdom, which is the tree of life, which scripture says is more than nice, that is the creator of all.
It is wisdom that we let our souls forget and forced us to always want more.
There was a time, when for no reason or rhyme, we would smile and laugh instead of whine and cry, because we knew the truth that’s been hidden inside.
We knew purpose was the glue that held us together, regardless of whether or not we believed that we could receive whatever dream created with you and me.
There was a time when to fly was nothing more than a high thought placing air beneath our feet.
A time when there was no crime there was only possibility.
This is the story within the story that you need to see.
You are a god trapped in the belief of mortality.
This is why I written the rhyme of hidden eternity!
-Jacob Israel

DRIVE

“DRIVE”

“DRIVE”
What is salvation, the choir sings, what is it that the future will bring?
Will it be gates of pearl, will it be great wisdom making sense of the pain in the world?
Will there be streets of gold, or treasures untold, will life’s mystery unfold before our once uninterested eyes?
When the cold ground settles and dries, and time has forgotten the tears once cried, over the grave that swallowed what you once called life.
What will it be for you and me? Will we finally be free? Or will be wish we had a chance to do it all over again?
Asking for forgiveness from a dear old friend, connecting with a relative before the end, giving to help those living with struggle and pain, forgetting what it means to blame, complain, or to remain in the sad cycle of should of, could of, would of.
Will we wish someone had dished about the secrets to this here thing called life? Wouldn’t that be nice? Waking up in the morning and no longer longing for things to finally go your way, to simply wake up and be excited to say, “This is going to be a most excellent day!”
That sounds like salvation to me, declared the choir director ignorantly while directing the congregation to the wrong tree so when they leave they’ll forget to see what is in front entirely.
The rear view mirror has never been clearer but it’s an illusion that does not exist anymore. This is what mirrors are for, to keep us looking on what is behind until we become so blind we can no longer find the hunger and passion that we’ve convinced ourself to ignore, even though it put us in the driver seat to explore.
Perhaps, when we’ve come to the end, and this sad choir is our only friend, we’ll see we were always free even though we behaved as comatose slaves who prayed for a savior delayed eternally.
It will be then, our hand will extend, to grab hold of the steering wheel of life all over again, loving ourselves, enemies and friends, living for the moment and forgetting the past while still creating memories that last.
Finally in the driver seat driving and having a blast!

THE GENESIS OF YOU

Jacob Israel6 Comments

THE GENESIS OF YOU

“Who Am I?” this is a question many ask. The reason people everywhere ask this question is because deep down they know they are more than they have believed themselves to be. Deep down they know they have unlimited potential. Deep down they feel as if there is something very important to learn, deep down they feel like they are missing something. This is why so many people flock to the religious organizations of the world, they are looking for answers. However, the problem is, the answers are only found within.

“Let him who seeks continue seeking until he finds. When he finds, he will become troubled. When he becomes troubled, he will be astonished, and he will rule over the All.” The Gospel of Thomas

This video presents the story of Genesis and the Crucifixion in a way you have never heard. You are more than you know. You have forgotten who you really are. You have forgotten that you have untapped, unlimited potential and that you can create for yourself anything in this world.


Matthew 17:20
Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”

The parables in the Bible are stories about you. You birth, your life, your death, and yes, your Resurrection. The bible is truly a book that is inspired, but for many years the words of the bible were nothing more than ink on a page.

The Letter/Literal interpretation of scripture has killed the SPIRT/LIFE of it.


2 Corinthians 3:6
Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.

This TRUTH is a great TREASURE hidden WITHIN you.

Colossians 1:27
To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

And now it is time to FIND IT! This video is my way of showing you, there is a GREAT TRUTH hidden within these scriptures, but most importantly, WITHIN YOU!

I hope you enjoy this short video I put together. I sure hope you subscribe to this blog, and share this video with those who would enjoy it. Have the best day ever! Jacob

The End Of Suffering?

The End of Suffering?

When I began this blog years ago I did so because I wanted to find a way to reach more people than I had been able to before. I wanted to share the things I had learned over my many years of study and trial and error. The truth is I love to write and nothing brings me more joy than being able to share this with all of you.

For me, there is no greater gift a person can give me than to take the time to read, watch, listen, share, and comment on something I took the time to write or say. This is the reason I always ask those who enjoy these works to share them with others.

There is a scripture that states, and I am paraphrasing, my word (truth/logic) will not return void but it will accomplish what it was sent into the world to do. I believe we have the power to change our lives for the better by knowing who we truly are and understanding the power of love. My novel, “The Calling” is a story about a boy who was born to change the world by writing a single book. This of course is my hope with everything I do.

It is my desire to bring peace to troubled hearts, healing to broken spirits, and hope to those who only believe in defeat. This is why I am so happy that my wife encouraged me to begin my “Voice In The Dead Woods Radio” show again. This is the reason I am writing to all of you today. I want to make you aware of this weekly program and to ask you to subscribe to it as you have subscribed to this blog. It is completely free and it will inform you of every up coming episode in the future. I also hope that you will share this, as well as this website, http://www.JacobIsrael.com, with others.

So instead of writing an article on today’s topic, “The End Of Suffering” I wanted to share the link to my latest radio broadcast. I believe it will be an encouragement to many of you, or at least, that is my sincere hope. Click on this link below to listen and please do subscribe.

I am always looking for ways to reach out to people whether it is through my essays here, emails to readers, youtube videos, daily posts on facebook, my novel, poetry, and now it is my radio show, which I hope will take what I have learned farther than ever before.

Now many have asked how I make a living doing all of this… well the simple answer is, I don’t make a living doing this, I of course have a day job. However, doing this does indeed bring life to the life I am living.

Sharing what I have learned brings me so much joy and in so doing I always learn more about myself and the things I share. It would be wonderful to simply devote all of my time to doing this alone, but until that day arrives I am grateful for the job I have and the time I find to share.

I also am so very thankful for those people who do reach out to support what I am doing, words cannot express how grateful I am to you. I sure hope that the things I write continue to be a source of encouragement and hope to all of you. The only thing I ask is that you also share what you have found here with those you believe will benefit from it. So thank you for making my world a brighter place, giving me purpose, and bringing joy into my heart by reading, watching, listening, subscribing, commenting, and sharing with others. I love you all and I so look forward to hearing from you all. Please do enjoy the radio show and I hope this “word” continues to accomplish what it is sent into the world to do. Jacob
