Who are you? Who are you really? Are you more than just who you believe yourself to be? Is there more to you than what this world says?
What if I told you most people who find their way to read these words, that the Lord saw fit for me to write, are here for a reason.
Perhaps a feeling brought you to search for more. A feeling inside you that tells you, there is so much more to you than you’ve been told. And what if I told you that it is no coincidence you are here with so many others like yourself. As if the day we are in was made just for you, for this very moment. Scriptures call this the gathering together of the Saints. But don’t get ahead of yourself.
The reason I am extra excited about the fact that you are now reading these words is because God had given me a promise many years ago that I would see many wake from the sleep that this world put upon them.
I began this website years ago with the hopes that I could be used to help shake people from the lies they have believed, and help them, to not let the Day of the Lord overtake them as a thief in the night.
The scriptures state the Day of the Lord is a scary day. A day of darkness, great ignorance and more. Like today.
This why God’s people are told to blow the trumpet and sound the alarm. To tell everyone to get ready. Because they, like you maybe, are the GREAT STRONG PEOPLE of the Lord, who just simply need to wake up!
Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the Lord cometh, for it is nigh at hand; A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations.
Joel 2:1-2
Wake up Sleeper! Yes, that’s right I’m talking to you. Rise from the Dead, because that is the true word for ignorance in scripture. To be carnally minded is death. To be ignorant of true LIFE and TRUTH is death. This is why we pray while in the Valley of death’s shadow.
So WAKE UP Sleeper rise from your ignorance of final mortal death AND CHRIST will shine on you (let your LIGHT shine) But what does this below scripture really mean? And why does it state to be careful how you live, and how you treat others. Like then today’s days are evil.
This is why it is said: “Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.” Be very careful, then, how you live —not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.
Ephesians 5:14-16
I make the most of every opportunity I can to inspire people like you to ask God for more. Every aspect of my life has been about sharing that most glorious revelation only known as Christ in You!
In my soon to be re-released novel, “The Calling- The Book of Thomas James” it is a theme that is explored thoroughly. The idea that we, as children of God, have been asleep at the wheel. We have been ignorant of who we we truly are, and what we are truly capable of.
Because the Lord God is ONE. Jesus’s prayer was that THEY (you and I) be ONE as Jesus and the FATHER were ONE… this, my friends, is my greatest desire as well. My hope that you will have the relationship with God that I have through Christ IN me.
It is the very purpose for my life. The reason why I was brought through what I was brought through, why I spent years meticulously writing and sharing, building up a treasure trove of articles, poetry, videos, songs and more because I had FAITH one day it would be needed.
I saw a day when hundreds wouldn’t come but millions upon millions. Which is my I’m re-releasing the second edition of my novel for such at time as this. Not to mention in 2008 when it was first published, I chose the date 2022 as the time, but more on that later.
So what is that Glorious Appearing? Just exactly how does Christ Come?
I want to make one thing clear before we go farther. You (who YOU think you are) can’t earn Christ, or the Kingdom of God. That being said, God finishes His Creation (You) in VICTORY!l
Did you catch that? God finishes his greatest creation IN YOU.
Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
Philippians 1:6
In other words, understand that God is doing this. In you, in the world, it is all God. Working all things together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose. Which all of you are.
Now, I want to give you some comfort. I want you to know that this doesn’t mean you sit back and don’t have hardship or have to make hard choices, it just means YOU CANT FAIL. Because ultimately God is doing it all.
Christ died so that YOU, or the Idea of You, could live. If Christ was God only child and was all these ever was, when you came around where did Christ go?
The scripture points this out, saying we shouldn’t even focus on silly things like this.
I will say Religion HAS Tricked everyone about how Christ comes and delivers us. But it is clearly laid out in scripture, even though they try to hide it…. Christ Comes (Erchomai) In His Tangible Body (which we are), In His Saints, With his Saints, in the Clouds (witnesses), as Lightning and more…
Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:) Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) —— who is the Dead again?
But what saith it? (What should you be saying?)
The word is nigh thee, (the WORD IS NEAR YOU!) even in thy mouth, (The WORD IS IN YOUR MOUTH), and in thy heart: (THE WORDS IS IN YOU HEART) that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
What WORD are we talking about here? FAITH!!!!!! For now, only a few here will have eyes to see this next passage truly.
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus(WORD of GOD), and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him (WORD OF GOD) from the dead (Who are the Dead?), thou shalt be saved.
Romans 10:6-9
So essentially we cannot Earn Christ or Salvation from the lies we believe and what we suffer from. It is a Gift. By GRACE we are saved through FAITH, this is not of our own carnal effort… it is a gift! Eph 2:8
Now, that all being said, THIS is why we should be so super excited regardless of how things look. We CANT Fail ultimately, we can only prolong our suffering until we are delivered or rejoice the great gift God has purposed within us all.
Listen, we are given a message that we should Trust.
Here is a trustworthy saying: If we died with him, we will also live with him; if we endure, we will also reign with him. If we disown him, he will also disown us; if we are faithless, he remains faithful, for he cannot disown himself.
2 Timothy 2:11-13
Let that sink in … we are DEAD (ignorant) and we DIED with Him, so we will Also LIVE with Him. We can’t faith. Because He (WORD) Cannot Disown HIMSELF!
I’m not a Pastor, I don’t have a Church, and my goal here is to encourage people to go to God for themselves. That is it! Hopefully inspire and entertain everyone along the way. Hoping only to reach more people for the Kingdom of God, because there is no greater thing I can see to strive for.
So I usually ask people to cast aside what everyone has perhaps ignorantly taught them, and called “true” because I have learned after my many years of study and experience, much of what bad religion has taught us is a lie, from the father of all lies.
Go to God yourself, ask for the Truth No Matter What The Cost and trust that God, who began a good work INSIDE YOU, will complete it in VICTORY.
The truth is, I wouldn’t know salvation if it was not for Yeshua/Jesus and his great sacrifice and so now as he laid down his life for me, I and you need to lay down our lives for Him.
Christ took upon himself the sins of the world, they were OUR SINS which Christ bore.
It’s time to live for more. It’s time for Israel to be free.
Christ In You, The Hope of Glory. This is mystery that has been hidden that is NOW being revealed to those in the Lords Day!
TODAY, I very much feel like one of the apostles, who once wrote…
I have become its servant by the commission God gave me to present to you the word of God in its fullness— the MYSTERY that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the Lord’s people. To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is CHRIST IN YOU, the hope of glory. – Colossians 1:25-27
That all being said, I hope this helps people who may question this mystery. I wish you all much love and really hope that you all go to God. Let God alone be your teacher, the day has come when you don’t need to go door to door saying “know the Lord”
Hebrews 8:11 – No longer will they teach their neighbor, or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord,’ because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest.
Of course I am not the authority, I’m not like many other the leaders of religion who come in their own name.
Jesus came and led people to Our Father, who is in Heaven. Jesus came in Gods name, he revealed Gods words and he was Gods truth for us all. Because scripture teaches no one can truly know God, but the SON (Gods child) Reveals God to the world.
Jesus said in John 5:4 – I have come in my Father’s name, and you do not accept me; but if someone else comes in his own name, you will accept him.
So many come in their own name saying God told them this and that, however I certainly don’t want to come in my own name.
If you have ears to hear it, when Christ “comes” a person no longer comes on THEIR NAME they come in Christ’s name, because Christ died so YOU could live and now it’s your turn to lay down your life and your name in this world so the Kingdom of God can be known throughout the earth.
It’s not about ME or YOU, it’s about The Lords Christ and God’s Kingdom and the day is here for all of us to witness this.
Hope this encouraged you all, and I hope this Wake Up Call doesn’t overtake you like a thief in the night. Don’t let the days to come worry you, draw near to God and God will draw near to you.
Much love to you all, Jacob Israel

CUT IT OUT!
In my latest essay “The Two Witnesses Revealed” I stated ” … within two weeks there will be a partially thwarted terrorist attack at major hub of travel, like Grand Central or Penn Station… an attack that could have been worse…”
This essay, which I shared on Dec 2nd, and the video shared on Dec 3rd, (below) spoke of a partially thwarted terrorist attack on a major hub of travel, like Grand Central which the Tube is… And it COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE… Sadly, a couple of days after posting this I read “A Terrorist attack is thwarted in “London’s Underground” today!”
A man with a machete screaming, “This is for Syria” slashed a man’s throat and went after more. Thankfully he was stopped. This attack could have been so much worse. Women and children and many others could have been killed. I did NOT want to see this. I did NOT want to hear about this. I DO NOT WANT TO LIVE IN A WORLD LIKE THIS ANYMORE!
It seems everything I have said would happen soon, has happened, and from a worldly perspective it does not seem to be showing any signs of coming to a peaceful end… Ultimately, it will ALL work together for the good of those that love the Lord, but for right now, the world has become a scary place.
You cannot turn on the news without hearing of terrorist attacks, climate change, riots, shootings, intolerance, or war. Even those who are running for the highest office on our country prove to be hateful, bigoted, greedy, and corrupt to the very core.
This is why I am taking a more proactive role in trying to bring awareness to the NONSENSE that is fueling this scourge in the earth.
Hate, prejudice, fear, lust, greed, and corruption is rampant today… and that is all we seem to be hearing about. And that is NOT a good thing, because instead of people everywhere saying, “WE HAVE TO STOP THIS INSANITY AND COOPERATE”, we see people on all sides applauding attacks oF the other.
Just yesterday, I cannot tell you how many comments from supposed Christians I read, how many hateful posts filled with savagery and venom I read. It literally brought tears to my eyes.
I REALLY had no idea when I warned everyone in July of what the world would soon become. You should go back, to my “warning essay” read it and watch the video and see how very accurate this feeling I had was. It was a sinking feeling in my chest that led me to believe if I didn’t stand up and bring awareness to what might become, all would be lost.
Back then we didn’t hear about WW3, or worry about ISIS at our door and we didn’t think climate change was going to do us all in. People simply weren’t aware of how out of control it has all gotten.
I have many times been accused of spreading fear, and condemned for what I share. I have found that I am constantly trying to open people’s eyes to their own pride and hate, while also showing them there is a better way.
People don’t want to hear about how bad things have gotten, or how much worse they still may get… I understand this.
However, we cannot put our heads in the sand and simply let things get worse.
WE CANNOT GIVE INTO FEAR AND HATE!
We HAVE to rise above the madness we see today and we need to SHOW LOVE more than ever before!
I have said many times, that you cannot overcome hate with hate. It seems like that is the only way of dealing with problems today. THIS NEEDS TO STOP!
I pray, “Lord please open their eyes, and my eyes to a brighter world. Father, help us to forgive, to have compassion, to bring an end to war, famine, and all unrighteousness.”
Jesus did the same. How many times did he CRY, because he only wanted to wake people up to the power of UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. They, like those who hate today, put their faith in a corrupt system that is doomed to fail.
Politics will not save us. Religion will not save us. Democracy will not save us. Socialism will not save us. Communism will not save us. ONLY LOVE WILL SAVE US!
Psalm 85:7
Show us your unfailing love, Lord, and grant us your salvation.
SALVATION IS HAVING LOVE REVEALED WITH YOU. UNFAILING LOVE. LOVE THAT DRAWS A MULTITUDE TO CHANGE!
1 Peter 4:8
Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.
The PEOPLE have forgotten that we are to LOVE our enemy, do GOOD to those who mistreat us and use us, to OFFER the other cheek, to GIVE more than another wants to take… THIS IS THE ONLY WAY HEAVEN WILL BE REVEALED ON EARTH!
I am fed up with the hateful hearts of those who claim to LOVE. I am fed up with the ignorance of those who claim wisdom. I am fed up with the intolerance of those who preach tolerance. I am fed up with the hypocrisy. I am fed up with the hate. I am fed up with the lack of love I see today.
Those who should be preaching COMPASSION, UNITY, AND LOVE are dividing us further. And this is true for EVERY RELIGION!
They Neither Know the God of Abraham, the Father of Jesus, Brahman, or Allah if they hate their brother or sister!
Today, “so-called good Christians” on the internet have taken to celebrating the defaming, and torching of Mosques.
Today, “so-called” good Jews are celebrating the death of Palestinian attackers.
Today, “so-called” good Muslims have taken to celebrating the terror attacks in the United States and elsewhere in the world.
This says nothing about all the other sects in these religions killing and condemning each other in the name of their “so-called God of War”
And yet these who hate and who kill each other and condemn each other and look down the nose of each know nothing about what their “so-called holy books” have to say about LOVE. Which is the highest spirit, and the one thing all are to strive for.
FAITH has never been about hating others! The only thing these holy books teach about hate, is HATING the IDEA of HATING OTHERS.
Jesus was accused and did not defend himself. Jesus was condemned and did not fight against it. Jesus was beaten and put to death and he only raised his voice to ask for FORGIVENESS… because he understood … as I UNDERSTAND … people today, just like then, KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO!
And so I am asking the Lord to help them to see. To guide us into the paths of righteousness. To lead into the land of promise. TO HEAL OUR BROKEN HEARTS, TO TEND TO OUR WOUNDS, AND TO WIPE AWAY OUR TEARS!
I am asking the Lord to wake the people up, to quicken everyone to the SPIRIT OF LOVE within us all.
And I am offering the Lord my life, as a living sacrifice… I do not go to Church, I do not fast, I do not sacrifice or make offerings on an altar, but A BODY I HAVE PREPARED… and of course I pray that these many years a BODY HAVE I PREPARED in all of you.
You can be IN the world but not OF the world.
The word “world” of course is a symbol for the LUSTS within mankind.
1 John 2:16
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
Jesus said when he was taken into custody, that if he were OF THIS WORLD an army would FIGHT FOR HIM… Because that is how things are handled in THIS WORLD!!!! But Jesus is NOT of this world, and neither are we.
We DO NOT have to be part of the problem, we can be the SOLUTION. We do not have to be infected with the disease of hate, we can be the CURE!
Those who hate, those who refuse to offer the other cheek, those who refuse to love and have compassion for the downtrodden and displaced, those who have decided every Muslim, Christian and Jew is their enemy, have never known the True God, regardless of what name the TRUE GOD which is LOVE is called.
PEOPLE TODAY NEED TO CUT IT OUT! This is a message that I hope spreads like wild-fire…. WE ALL NEED TO CUT IT OUT!
If you don’t do unto others as you want done unto yourself, YOU ARE NOT RIGHTEOUS, I don’t care what your religion tells you.
Because the “Creator of all” is telling “us all” to CUT IT OUT and LOVE!
Please do subscribe, share, comment and like this post and others on here. Freely I give of myself, and so I ask that you give this to others that may benefit.

Jesus, The Anti-Christ, And Fruit
Recently, on other social networking sites, like facebook, youtube, etc, I have been sharing powerful mini-versions of essays I have written in the past on topics that are very timely. I thought that I should share three of these with all of you, because within them you very well may find the truth of who you really are. If you have read them already, please do read on here as I have added much to them and wonderful things were revealed in the process.
If you are new to my website, or have been here before, you know that my work is dedicated to revealing the SPIRIT of the scriptures. Because it is given to us to know the “mysteries of the Kingdom of God” and unto those “without recollection of the truth” ALL THINGS ARE DONE IN PARABLE! So, my work and my passion is sharing the hidden meaning of these mysteries written long ago.
It is the SPIRIT of these stories that gives us life, just as it is the SPIRIT within us all that IS OUR LIFE, which IS also what I dare to share with all of you as often as I can.
If you don’t know this already, I have well over one hundred critical essays I have written over the years on various topics that are available here for all of you, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and at no cost to you ever.
I put in countless hours, and pay for these sites, as well as their maintenance, because I know these WORDS WILL NOT RETURN VOID! They will accomplish what I sent them out into this world to do…
TO SET AT LIBERTY THOSE WHO ARE SUFFERING IN THE HELL THAT HAS BECOME OF THEIR LIFE!
My friends, it is the TRUTH that sets a person free… the TRUTH! The problem is, each and every one of us has been delivered a well dressed lie instead.
The naked truth is far more valuable than a well dressed lie, however, the world has taught us all entertainment is far greater than content, drama is more exciting than peace, and the latest religious/fashion craze is always better than what you came into the world with (WHO YOU ARE) and became ashamed of.
So in my effort to continue to share with all of you, I have but one favor to ask. PLEASE SHARE MY SITE WITH OTHERS. Encourage people to come here and explore some of the things found here. It is my belief and hope that this year we will reach more people than ever before. CHANGE IS HERE! THE DAY WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR HAS ARRIVED!
There is no need to WAIT any longer… Don’t make Martha’s mistake.
John 11
24 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.
25 Jesus SAID unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth IN me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
BY THE END OF THIS ESSAY you may just SEE that you have been living a life of death, and you, like Lazarus, will rise from your grave of ignorance and LIVE! Or, you will be like Jesus telling others to stop putting their faith in the future AND their worries in the past. YOUR WORDS, like Jesus’ words they may just believe. And if they BELIEVE IN YOU, if they BELIEVE the words WITHIN YOU, as they did with Jesus, then THEY TOO WILL RISE AND TRULY LIVE THEIR LIFE!
Together we can truly live our lives and change this world. It is the TRUTH that sets us free, so freely we must share it. So please do share and subscribe if you haven’t already… In the mean time, please do enjoy these three short teachings.
TEACHING 1:
BY THEIR FRUITS
When it comes to knowing a person’s heart, scripture states that we are to judge others by their fruit. Fruit is known for the seed it produces. The fruit of something is it’s seed and it’s seed, or offspring, will always produce THE FRUIT it came from.
For example, an apple seed gives birth to an apple, an orange to an orange, the seed of a dog becomes a dog, the seed of a human will become human… and the seed of God is God. The same was in the beginning with everything, if you have “ears to hear that”.
Whatever is within us we bring forth and cast out into the world. This is our seed, and when our seed, whether it be words or deeds is cast into the world it will produce what it was sent into the world to do.
If you speak words of hate or express hate, hate will be felt. If you speak words of love or express love, love will be felt. Both love and hate are seeds, and both of these seeds produce fruit, whether it is anger and loathing or peace and joy.
This is why we so often are taught that we will be judged for every word and thought. That we will reap what we sow. If we sow righteousness we will be rewarded with that fruit… If we sow hate, we will know the same.
Isaiah 3:
10 Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.
11 Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him.
FRUIT is what we produce, it is what we MANIFEST and REPLICATE into the world.
There of course is physical seed like that of plants, and animals, and then there is the metaphorical meaning of the word FRUIT… which deals with how someone thinks and behaves.
Matthew 7
16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
By their FRUITS they shall be known. So the question I want you to ask yourself is what type of fruit are you bringing to the table?
You want to know how to test the spirits? Scripture says we must test the spirits to see if they be of God or not. It goes on to state that anyone who does not state that CHRIST IS COME/REVEALED IN THE FLESH is ANTI-CHRIST, which I will explain about later in the third teaching here.
However, let us first understand what SPIRIT is.
Proverbs 1:23
behold, I will pour out my SPIRIT unto you, I will make known my WORDS unto you.
Let me explain what a spirit is, it is a spoken word which originates from within you, called thought. Jesus said, “my words are SPIRIT”, love is spirit, compassion is spirit, encouragement is spirit, patience is spirit, and tolerance and acceptance are spirit. Some thoughtS are of God and there are other spirits like greed, hate, judgment, pride, lust that are spirits of a different kind.
So, which fruit do you bring to the table?
The most Holy Spirit or thought is said by every holy book to be LOVE.
These very same books define love.
The bible states that love is patient, kind, gentle, meek, long-suffering, it does not boast, it is not proud, it does not condemn, it does not strive, and love most certainly does not cast out… Love never fails.
So if you are impatient, intolerant, self-centered, judgmental, condemning, if you are some one who loves to debate and tell others how wrong they are, if you are one who would turn your back on another because of how they believe or behave… Then guess what… You are NOT ruled by a God of love, the one and only true God, you aren’t one with God, you aren’t a creation of love, you are ruled by the god of this world… WHICH IS YOUR CARNAL EGO THE ANTI-CHRIST!
So, which type of fruit are you bringing to table?
A heart of love produces love… A corrupt and hateful heart produces hate and corruption.
Sadly, most are ruled by another god indeed, and by their fruit you shall know these hypocrites, for they too are accusers of the brethren, they too judge, they waste, they too roam about seeking whom they may devour…
In fact some of these Jesus shouting, devil loving, children of ignorance may even want to come on here and make their presence known. Because the darkness hates the light. Liars hate the truth because they believe their lie is the truth. Yet, the truth cannot be offended and does not need to be defended… SO WHY DO THEY GET SO ANGRY? Why did the religious elite of Jesus’ day want him dead for simply telling the world to love and be who they truly are?
The answer is CONTROL!
The children of the god of this world (ego/anti-christ) hate the children of the kingdom because their fruit shows them just how misled they are.
Millions of you are children of your ignorant carnal devil of an ego and you don’t even know it.
A tree is known by its fruit, and salvation is now, wake up and smell the coffee because the army Joel spoke of is here, the “greater things than these” is being done now, so study to be quiet and go within and LOVE!
Test your spirits (thoughts/words) to see if they be of God and Love which is truth or not!
Live, laugh, love, together we are going to change this world… For we are ONE!
Change is coming and we are apart of it… AND TO DO THIS WE MUST KNOW WHO THE REAL ENEMY IS!
TEACHING 2
THE ANTI-CHRIST IS WHO YOU THINK YOU ARE!
The Anti-Christ sits on the Throne of God, declaring himself to be God… I got news for you… THAT ANTI-CHRIST is WHO YOU THINK YOU ARE.
The Anti-Christ is the exact opposite of what and who CHRIST is… Hence the title, “ANTI” — The origin of the prefix anti- and its variant ant- is an ancient Greek word which meant “against” or “opposite.”
So people, the ANTI-CHRIST would be a force that works against CHRIST. It would be the exact opposite of CHRIST.
One sees the Christ and Anti-Christ in the YIN YANG symbol. But to understand the “anti-christ”, to understand the enemy hiding in plain sight, let us first examine what and who CHRIST IS.
CHRIST is explained as the power of God, and the wisdom of God in 1 Cor 1:24
CHRIST is OUR POWER AND WISDOM as well. For God said, “all that is mine is thine”… All that is God’s is ours. So God’s power and wisdom is OUR POWER AND WISDOM.
Christ is not Jesus’ last name. The Christ, or the Messiah, is a TITLE of one who has overcome the world. Christ is one who has risen from the death of ignorance. The Christ is the title of ONE who is ONE WITH GOD.
Christ is the POWER and WISDOM of God being manifested through a VESSEL/MESSENGER in the temporal world. CHRIST is the POWER behind the enlightened individual. There is POWER and TRUTH and LOVE and HOPE and SALVATION in CHRIST. It is the POWER AND WISDOM OF GOD… So when someone says, CHRIST is a literal man preaching somewhere on the planet the scriptures teach us to NOT GO AFTER HIM. Because CHRIST is NOT A MAN. The Kingdom of God does NOT come with observation.
Luke 17:23
And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them.
Christ is the power and wisdom of God that gives life, freedom, and the power of creation to man.
Remember, CHRIST IN YOU is the hope of Glory. Not Christ coming again soon, as many of you have been told.
When CHRIST COMES, as we read earlier about “Christ coming in the flesh”, the word “comes” does not mean to come again in the future or from the east or the west, it means to be “REVEALED/UNCOVERED/MANIFESTED”
So when we read the words, “CHRIST COMES” we understand it to be… The POWER AND WISDOM OF GOD BEING REVEALED WITHIN US and EXPRESSED INTO THE WORLD.
So now that we know what Christ is, let us look at what the ANTI or OPPOSITE and OPPOSING force of Christ is.
If Christ is the POWER and WISDOM of God. Then the ANTI-CHRIST would have to be something that has NO POWER and is IGNORANT.
The opposite of WISDOM is IGNORANCE… The Opposite of Power is having NO POWER over your life.
Do you believe you have no control over your life? Do you believe that things happen to you and not for you, because of you? Do you think you are not in control? Do you worship a God outside of you, far away, coming again soon?
Well, if this is true, you are ANTI-CHRIST… Which simply means you are existing in an ignorant state of powerlessness.
1 John 2:18
Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
This ANTI-CHRIST has a NUMBER, scripture tells us to calculate it. Six Hundred and Sixty Six… The liars of this world have tried to convince themselves that their CARNAL EGO was not the problem, and so they allowed their carnal ego to weave a tale. The DEVIL is the father of all lies after all.
And so this “anti-christ” of an ego created a spooky monster and said that this anti-christ is some coming world leader, etc. Yet, the number of this ANTI-CHRIST is explained plainly in the very same scriptures these ignorant anti-christs quote…
Revelation 13:18
Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
Let me put this in scientific words as well… We are NOT our carbon based shell of a body. We ARE the POWER and LIFE within this VESSEL. We are NOT this vessel just as we are not the car we drive but the DRIVER of the car.
The problem is most begin to believe their dying, decaying body is who they are. This is what it means to be dead/ignorant in ADAM (mankind’s 1st state). There are many that believe their carbon based bodies are who they are. However, this carbon based body belief is in fact “ANTI-CHRIST.” – the opposite of truth, the opposite of who and what you really are.
Think it not strange that 666 is also the number for CARBON BASED LIFE FORMS. 6 electrons, 6 neutrons, 6 Protons… the physical form that dies is the EXACT opposite of the LIFE FORCE within in, that creates it and kills it.
So, we can see 666 is nothing really of a mystery. IT IS THE NUMBER OF CARNAL MAN as scriptures states!
The ENEMY is not some being outside of us. A man’s enemies are they of the man’s own house. The lies of the carnal ego/ID/devil/Anti-Christ is the enemy.
The ANTI-CHRIST sits on the THRONE OF GOD, which is your heart/mind, sitting in the TEMPLE of God which is YOUR CONSCIOUS LIFE, declaring “himself” to be God, WHICH IS WHO YOU THINK YOU ARE but ARE NOT!
CHRIST is who you really are within… YOU REALLY are the power and wisdom of God manifested in this world. Each of us part of one body, united, co-creating as we believe. The problem is, many have forgotten who they truly are… Which is why the scriptures call for your REMEMBRANCE.
Your MIND is the throne of God. Your BRAIN is the THRONE that God sits on and rules from… The 24 elders pictured are the 24 cranial nerves that sit around the throne of God, in the Temple (which is you) worshipping 24/7 because your 12 pairs of cranial nerves, or 12 disciples, always carry out the functions of the ghost in the machine, which is God, which is EXPRESSED through CHRIST, which is WHO YOU REALLY ARE!
Now, when we come to this world we all TAKE UPON OURSELVES the CARES/SINS of this world. We start putting our faith outside of us, we stop believing we have POWER and we become IGNORANT of who we truly are. In so doing, WE DIE TO THE TRUTH and become ANTI-TRUTH.
Who you think you are is actually in control of your life. Your fear, your doubt, your hate, your worry, your shame, your pride, ALL OF IT is ANTI-CHRIST and if you think all of that noise is YOU, then you are anti-christ my friend. However, don’t worry because in the end EVERYONE is saved from their ignorance. Because you can only play hide and seek with yourself for so long. (Pictured in Genesis when Adam was hiding)
2 Timothy 2:13
If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.
So the wrong idea of who you are will eventually be destroyed completely, by the TRUTH… Or should I say, by the COMING (REVEALING) OF THE TRUTH OF WHO YOU REALLY ARE.
2 Thessalonians 2:8
And then shall that Wicked (EGO) be revealed, whom the Lord (the one who really exists) shall consume with the spirit (true thoughts) of his mouth (truth spoken and heard), and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
The ANTI-CHRIST is destroyed by the BRIGHTNESS of the TRUTH being revealed to you. When CHRIST COMES… When the power and wisdom of God is revealed to you, you will know who you TRULY ARE and what you are truly capable of…
When this happens, the ANTI-CHRIST (your carnal ego/who you ignorantly believe yourself to be) is DESTROYED!
This is SALVATION! You are saved from the lies you have believed and delivered from the chains of your false identity.
So, then the question becomes for many… Who does the saving?
It is a man from thousands of years ago that died for us… or is this man our example who spoke the words of truth that SETS US FREE?
TEACHING 3
BELIEVE IN JESUS OR IN WHAT JESUS TAUGHT?
Many will try to convince you that Jesus TAUGHT that we are all to worship Jesus, and Jesus alone. That our faith should be in what a man from two thousand years ago did. That only by believing in Jesus will we know salvation. However, if one truly studies the scriptures you will find this is not the case.
Jesus taught us that the greatest of all was the servant of all… the master, or the one who receives praise and service is less than the one who serves… Jesus ALWAYS directed people with. He never asks for worship or praise, when people asked him how they should pray, he spoke of going to the source directly, within! The Messenger of Truth ALWAYS directs the disciple to GOD. It is not about the literal man, it is always about the SPIRIT within the man. Jesus knew this, ignorant religion corrupted this, and now many need to be set free from this.
Rev 22: But he said to me, “Don’t do that! I am a fellow servant with you and with your fellow prophets and with all who keep the words of this scroll. Worship God!”
Jesus made it clear, we are all the same, the difference was Jesus knew who he was and who God really was.
Jesus never taught that he was greater than another. In fact, Jesus taught the opposite. The greatest of all is the servant to all. Jesus never wanted to be worshipped, much less wanted people to think they could sit on their egotistical buts and just believe on him and do nothing to finally experience eternal life.
Jesus never wanted people to pray to him or to idolize him, Jesus wanted people to take his name (which means to take on his nature)… To ask things in Jesus’ name, never meant to ask for literal things and then literally say, “in jesus name we pray” how foolish this would be.
People are constantly asking Jesus for this and that, yet he was clear, we were never to “pray” to jesus… In the day people wake up from this nonsense they will go directly to the father.
John 16:23
And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.
To ask for something in the “name” of Jesus means to exist in the NATURE of Jesus… which means everything we do is salted with love, truth, and faith…
Jesus was not trying to get people to go against the commandment in scripture that warns us to NEVER compare God to anything in the earth, beneath the earth, above the earth, or in the sea… Much less, the IMAGE OF A CORRUPTIBLE CARBON BASED LIFE FORMS 666.
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.
Jesus was NOT trying to get people to believe in HIM… NO! Jesus wanted people to believe in the WORDS he spoke. These words held the key to eternal life (righteousness, peace, joy, power, unity).
People today picture a man named Jesus with his beard and sandals and they believe HE, the FLESH MAN is salvation for what HE physically did… But this could not be farther from Jesus’ message. HIS WORDS WERE LIFE, not believing in his flesh and bone body.
THE TRUTH SETS YOU FREE, NOT THE ONE DELIVERING THE MESSAGE. IT IS ABOUT BELIEVING THE THINGS THAT HE SAID.
John 6:63
It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
Jesus was sharing the truth of who we all are. When people wanted to know the way to find eternal life, or wanted to know the “father” Jesus said, you know the commands follow them, get rid of everything that you put your faith in besides the truth.
Jesus also said, HE WAS THE WAY! This last statement many misunderstand. Jesus went on to explain to know God you must know what he knew, do as he did, live as he lived and love as he loved… He said, to know God you must follow my example. Jesus said, I am the way and you too must take up your cross and do what I did.
Jesus knew the ONLY way to know God was to be as he was, for as he was and is so are we. Jesus knew the truth of who he was… He said, I am in the father and the father in me… He said, that he and God were one, and went on to say… So are we!
Jesus even prayed that one day we (ignorant carnal dead carbond based life forms 666) would wise up and believe his words… Words that led those who believe to eternal life.
His spoken words were the TRUTH that set people free, for it is the TRUTH that sets people free from
lies they need saving from. Jesus, wanted everyone to know that, “as he was in the world so are you,” and that, “we are all one”. He even explained the day would come when you wouldn’t look to him for answers because one day you will know the Father for yourself… As the scriptures state, the day will come when you won’t need to go door to door saying know The Lord, for all will.
Jesus didn’t want to be worshipped the way people teach today…. He wanted people to ARISE, to BELIEVE and be BORN AGAIN!
Jesus, wanted people to know as they were known… Which means he wanted people to know who they truly were… Jesus wanted people to know who they were deep within… Which he explained was the only way to salvation….
The scriptures teach us that the hope of Glory is realizing the CHRIST within… This great title is the hope of every man, that we all realize who we really are. Which is also, a savior in this world. Those who enter the sheep gate who hear his voice, which means who understand his words, the same becomes the shepherd of the sheep. And today many are coming forward.
Jesus taught the very same things I share as well… That we REALLY need to have faith… It is our FAITH that makes us whole… Jesus said things like, “Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them… Whatever a man believes he receives, all things are possible with faith”… Now mind you Jesus also said with GOD all things are possible. Almost as if to say that God and Faith are linked and forever united… And that God and Faith and TRUTH and LOVE is in fact within us all! WHICH IT IS!
So to believe the way many believe, to put your salvation in the future and in the arms of another man instead of believing the truth of who you are, you are in fact dead in your trespasses.
Jesus, and many others make it clear that no man, much less Jesus himself is to be worshipped or idolized.
The bible was never about a single man, it was always about MANKIND as a whole. The first and last ADAM.
The story has always been about Adam (mankind as a whole) taking upon themselves the sins (lies) of the world and dying to the truth of who they were, being cast out of themselves and cast out of the unity they once shared with the “Father” and then finding there way home through Christ (the 2nd MAN they become in this world)… But Jesus, like I and others know, “who will believe our report, and unto whom is the arm of the Lord revealed.”
This is why Jesus said people must believe his words to leave the ignorance of the first man and enter into the life and peace of the second man… The risen man… The man of the heart, Christ in you!
So you see it has never been about believing that something died for you, but it has always been about LEARNING from our “older brother, first-born among many, first-born of the dead… The one who went before us who also is risen in our hearts when his words of truth become our words of truth. Because the word has always been within us all…
Jesus wanted you to know what he knew, just as I and others want you to know what we know… It’s all about knowing the truth and faith comes first by hearing it!
Eternal life is hearing, believing and knowing where it all comes from.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. (John 5:24 KJV)
We pass from the death of ignorance into the life of possibility the instant we believe the words that Jesus shared… That I am now sharing… That many will share as we are all.
The WORD of God is within us all… For we are all, as Jesus said, the word and lights of the world, the words of our life are meant to be read of all men… We are all living epistles people… We are all more than we have known.
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.” (John 14:12 KJV)
Start reading between the lines and beneath the black and white of ye literal… It is the spirit of the story that gives life… Now believe already, be born again into the reality of who you are, and produce fruit for the whole of the world to feast on!

FISHERS OF MEN
Mark 1:17-18
17 And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.
18 And STRAIGHTWAY THEY FORSOOK THEIR NETS, and followed him.
In the gospels there is a wonderful story about how Jesus found men toiling under the sun trying to catch fish, but only catching some, with their nets.
Many have taken the story to mean that Jesus came over and told them that they should give up on their careers, follow him and spread the gospel instead. But this my friends is not only what this story means. In fact, what the revelation of this story could mean for your life is quite profound.
You see, not everything that you read about in Scripture is as it seems. There’s a hidden treasure that when revealed can change the very lives of those who read the stories to begin with.
For those of you new to “Jacob’s Ladder” you will find much of what I write here deals with the hidden mystery of scripture. For it is the SPIRIT of the scriptures that give life (enlightenment) to the reader. As the apostle Paul wrote, “the letter/literal kills”. The MEANING/SPIRIT of the story teaches a person something, while focusing on the literal aspects of the story (which were never meant to be taken that way) kills the very LIFE/ENLIGHTENMENT found within the revelation of what that story means.
So much of what we read in the scriptures are an allegory. Which is why Jesus said clearly to his disciples in the gospels, “it is given to you to know the MYSTERIES of the Kingdom of God and unto them who do not have this insight ALL THINGS are shared in PARABLE”.
Now does this all mean that there were not literal events that happened that we read about? Well, that is not really the point is it? What REALLY matters is what a person gains from the story. I often use the parable of “The Boy Who Cried Wolf” to illustrate this point. It does not matter whether there was a boy or a wolf, what matters is the SPIRIT of this story, which is of course that one should not lie or exaggerate.
The same is true for the events surrounding these “Fishermen”. It does not matter whether there were literal fisherman or literal nets, what REALLY matters is WHAT THE STORY MEANS FOR US. What TRUTH is hidden within these verses. What is it that “GOD” is trying to say hidden within the context of these stories? That is what matters!
After all…
It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter. (Proverbs 25:2 KJV)
The TRUTH is hidden within these stories and it is our great honor to find these treasures for ourselves. The revelation of which, comes only when one looks beyond the literal story until the spirit of the story clicks within and is revealed. When this happens it is like the “lights go on” and one finally understands the depth, and freedom, of the revelation that was once hidden within what seemed to be a pretty cut and dry story or a man telling a bunch of other men to follow him.
Now when this revelation hits it is like a LIGHT finally shining in a dark place allowing an individual to finally move about with the confidence, and wisdom, of where they should go next.
We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. (2 Peter 1:19-21 KJV)
Now I do want to point out that the truth can’t be forced. It must come from deep within, it must be revealed. And when the TRUTH is revealed it is like being healed of blindness spiritually. The TRUTH gives SIGHT to the blind, EARS to the deaf, strength to the lame, a tongue to the mute, brings to life what has been dead/ignorant, casts out the lies/demons that possess men and women, and much, much more.
We see this happening time and time again with every “miracle” Jesus performed. It DOES not matter whether they were literally healed or not, what mattered is that they HEARD THE TRUTH and UNDERSTOOD THE TRUTH.
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:
So it is the TRUE MEANING of this story that I wish to share today…
What does it really mean? Why did these men leave their chosen profession and forsake their nets? Are their nets symbolic of something else? Are the Fish A METAPHOR for more?
The answer to all of these questions is YES, YES, AND AMEN!
For years we have taken this story to mean that men and women everywhere should leave everything BEHIND to go out and preach the “message” their particular church says people must adhere to. Basically, bad religion has given people the idea that they should give up on all of their responsibilities to further religion’s agenda/message. Because “saving souls is more important than time with your family, friends, interests, or current employment.” The irony found when Jesus tells the bad religious elite… Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves. (Matthew 23:15 KJV)
Bad Religion takes scriptures and twist them. Scriptures like Luke 18:29 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God’s sake, 30 Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting. … Bad Religion has used these scriptures to manipulate people into focusing on serving bad religion and bad religion alone regardless of how many families or lives are torn apart in the process.
And the ignorant fish in the sea take the bait and believe these passages are literal… but as Paul states, “These things are allegory!”
Sadly, people today have taken these things literally and have used even these scriptures to justify not living up to the responsibilities of being a parent or spouse. A great example of how the LETTER/LITERAL kills.
The tricks, snares and nets of religion can convince people that they would be rewarded for such nonsense like leaving jobs, homes, family and friends behind to serve Bad Religion’s version of the Kingdom of God. Which they present as some FUTURE award… when the KINGDOM OF HEAVEN AND GOD has always been and NOW EVENT.
Romans 14:17
For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
The salvation of our souls is finding this RIGHTEOUSNESS, PEACE, AND JOY within us. This is HEAVEN ABOVE. A higher form of thinking. RIGHTEOUSNESS, PEACE AND JOY are not found in selfish ambition, but by LOVE! If truth be told this HEAVEN that Bad Religion is selling today does not exist!
BEHOLD THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS WITHIN YOU. The POWER AND WISDOM OF GOD (Christ) saves us from the lies/nets bad religion has cast upon us to control us.
In Isaiah is the best example of what HEAVEN, and what EARTH, is…
Isaiah 55:9
For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
HEAVEN = God’s Thoughts/TRUTH = PEACE
Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
EARTH = Man’s ignorant/carnal thoughts
God has thoughts of peace, power, and a sound mind. God does not give us the SPIRIT OF FEAR, yet man’s ways are below God’s ways… And one of the greatest NETS Bad Religion has used for far too long is FEAR. “Do this or that OR ELSE!” But the TRUTH delivers us from these nets, as Jesus delivered these men from their nets.
It is the TRUTH that sets a person free. No NET is needed to DRAG anyone to the truth. It’s YOKE is easy, it is not the NET/YOKE OF RELIGION which is a heavy burden. Jesus said, Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest Matthew 11:28 and again when Jesus said… For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Matthew 11:30
THESE NETS THE FISHERMEN WERE USING BECOME THE YOKES AND BURDENS we all suffer with today. Which is why we are told to… Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 2 Corinthians 6:14
There was no joy, peace, and righteousness/right-thinking found in casting net after net into the sea of ignorance we call this world for these men. This is the reason that when the TRUTH (Jesus) appeared to them they were ready to FORSAKE their nets once again for all and become fishers of men!
So it becomes clear, the story of the fishermen leaving their nets behind to follow JESUS is a symbol of so much more. Every piece of this story is rich in meaning and hope. These NETS have more to do with the lies of religion and this world than literally catching fish as you will soon see.
As Micah recalls…
Micah 7:2
The good man is perished out of the earth: and there is none upright/honest among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a NET.
You will soon see these NETS are everywhere today, and they mean one thing for those caught and that is DEATH/SUFFERING. While the captors can enjoy the spoils of the catch (their money and devotion).
You see these FISH HAVE GOLD INSIDE! Controlling people means more than just devotion and blind faith, it means their wealth is your wealth. BAD RELIGION knew this and JESUS KNEW THIS.
Jesus proved this point when the religious leaders demanded temple tax and he told his disciple to catch a fish (which you will soon see is an ignorant person) and take the gold from its mouth.
Matthew 17:27
Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee.
BAD RELIGION wants that money, and to get it you had to HOOK or SNARE one of the ignorant fish/people in the sea to do so.
Let’s talk about some of those NETS
1) Net of FEAR- HELL, DAMNATION
2) Net of PRIDE – you are better than others
3) Net of Prosperity – You will be healthy and wealthy
4) Net of Power – You can become a super human
5) Net of future reward – You go to Heaven and it is all worth it
6) Net of Family or Friend pressure – If you aren’t like the bad religious you can’t be with them
7) Net of miracle healing
8) Net of prophetic words – people telling you they have heard from God directly
The list goes on and on… and they are ALWAYS CASTING THAT NET OUT ON THE WRONG SIDE
It’s all about money and power for the Bad Religious, and those NETS had to constantly be mended, because they were easily broken. Which is why in each encounter in the Gospels we see the fishermen either using their nets or tending to their nets. These NETS were important to their financial well-being. Yet, immediately following their encounter with this man Jesus they all left their nets. Mind you, they did not just leave their nets, they FORSOOK them.
Now why is this important? You may ask.
Well, these NETS by now you should see offer nothing in return but DEATH for fish. The NETS these fishermen were used to make their living is still practiced today, until the TRUTH shows up and shows them a better way.
Jesus came along and showed them THAT better way… the WAY… THE TRUTH… and LIFE! Jesus promised to make them fishers of men instead.
The difference being what Jesus offered did not mean death for these “fish/ignorant people” it meant life. And this LIFE was something that bad religion and politics has stolen away from them all.
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. (John 10:10 KJV)
So you see, those who have gotten the masses on their bad religious hooks, and caught the unaware in their bad religious nets only came to steal from those they catch and in return kill their true hope and peace.
Ecclesiastes 9:12
For MAN also knoweth not his time: as the FISHES that are taken in an evil NET, and as the birds that are caught in the snare; so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them.
These thieves continue on this day using their lies and promises and fear to keep the ignorant FISH buying into their religious and political lies. These thieves who say as long as their FISH do as they say, give, obey, serve, make followers and don’t question, promise that when the FISH are finally in the grave they will finally enter the gates of heaven.
But these thieves that call themselves religious leaders offer nothing but the death of a fulfilled life. No one, and I repeat no one can enter into the kingdom of heaven under their rule. Mainly because they have twisted everything we read about in scripture into something else. They have created a fantastic narrative that only offers them the power and wealth they crave.
These thieves make false promises and put on grand shows tickling the ears of those who hear and like a net dragged in the sea anyone they catch finds nothing but promises that are never kept, pride, bigotry, intolerance, greed and much worse. One can never find Righteousness (right thinking) Peace, Joy and Power in corrupt thinking. And anyone who tries to enter into the kingdom any other way but through Loves gate and denying one’s self, the same becomes a thief and robber as well, who too will find themselves dragging the allegorical net trying to kill more in the name of a god bad religion made up.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. (John 10:1, 10 KJV)
But Jesus showed them a better way. He revealed the truth to them and he did so using the bait of love and a more abundant life.
So right away they left their nets and followed him. They followed him not for worldly gain but for that peace that surpassed their current understanding.
I would like to state that they did not just leave their NETS behind to follow Jesus, they FORSOOK their nets!
That is quiet an interesting word used to describe them leaving their nets behind, if that is all we are meant to take from it. Let us look at what the word “Forsook” means.
Forsook in Greek – Aphiemi
Literal meaning: “to abandon, leave desolate SO ONE CAN GO FROM ONE PLACE TO ANOTHER.”
This word, “forsook” offers us insight into the deeper meaning of the disciples leaving their nets to become “fishers of men”.
To get to the place of wisdom, to return to their first estate, to move from their current understanding to where they truly wanted to go they had to leave the LIES OF BAD RELIGION behind.
The apostle Paul spoke about this very thing, when he considered all he had learned from religion, all he had done in the name of religion, he called DUNG! Paul knew the snares and nets of bad religion as well as anyone. Paul and well as David knew how deadly these NETs could be. He knew a NET of LIES cast unto the ignorant fish of the world, meant death and hell (ignorant suffering)for the people.
Psalm 35:7,8
For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit, which without cause they have digged for my soul. Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net that he hath hid catch himself: into that very destruction let him fall.
The “FISH” by now, you should understand are symbols of the ignorance holding MEN AND WOMEN EVERYWHERE captive. It is their carnal ignorance.
Jesus compared ignorant men and women to FISH, when promising to make his new recruits “Fishers of Men”.
Jonah was swallowed by a GREAT FISH, and resided in the FISH’S BELLY for three days much like Jesus did in the belly of the EARTH. Here we see a connection that must be made. The first obvious connection is that the belly of the fish is also a symbol for the belly of the earth, which we also now know from earlier, is also a symbol of MAN’S CARNAL WAYS AND THOUGHTS. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are Gods ways higher than man’s, God’s thoughts higher than man’s thoughts.”
Jonah is an allegory of the SPIRIT MAN trapped within the IGNORANCE OF THE CARNAL MAN (fish). Look also what the BELLY OF THE FISH is called by JONAH… HELL!
Jonah 2:1-3
2 Then Jonah prayed unto the Lord his God out of the fish’s belly,
2 And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the Lord, and he heard me; out of the belly of HELL cried I, and thou heardest my voice.
In this verse we see the Fish’s Belly also called the belly of HELL. We know that HELL is the word used to describe the suffering that accompanies ignorance. The FISH are those that are ignorant and lost to the ways of this world (lust of eyes, flesh, pride of life).
We also find that Jesus was found in the belly of the EARTH.
Matthew 12:40
For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the fish’s belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
We are also told that when Jesus died he entered HELL (Ignorant suffering) to set the captives free in 1st Peter 3.
THE BELLY is also a punishment for the SERPENT (carnal ego man) who goes about on his belly digesting only dust/lies. The BELLY is a great symbol for the “womb of the carnal mind”. The BELLY of the FISH is a person’s carnal lust and ego. This is why we see the lying serpent cursed to go about on his belly.
Genesis 3:14
And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
THE BELLY is a symbol for the “womb of ignorance and carnal thinking” indeed as Job puts it… Job 15:35
They conceive mischief, and bring forth vanity, and their BELLY PREPARES DECEIT.
But just as JONAH was freed from his ignorant hell, just as Jesus was freed from the sins of the world that cast him into the depths of the earth/hell/grave, just as these fishermen were delivered from their miserable lives, so also are we when we stop trying to rule over others, make money from others, or get others to do what we want them to do. The instant we forsake the NETS of our past and become fishers of men ourselves by sharing the truth without wanting anything in return, then the heavens open up and we find the rest Jesus promised.
There are those who kill their FISH – The bad religious do this. There are those who fish men out of their ignorant despair and offer them life and hope.
When Jesus asked them to follow him he was leading them to the kingdom of heaven, and I pray we can do the same for others! Which are we? Fisher of Men or Killers of Fish?
John 10:10
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
IT’S TIME FOR THE FISH TO COME OUT OF THE WATER! IT’S TIME TO HELP OTHERS WALK UPON THE WATERS INSTEAD OF DROWING IN THEM… ONCE WE PULL THESE FISH OUT OF THEIR IGNORANCE, THE HEAVENS WILL OPEN UP AND THEY TOO WILL KNOW WHO THEY ARE AND WHAT THEY ARE CAPABLE OF.
Matthew 3:16
And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:
It’s time for Bad Religion to forsake their nets, let’s help them all become fishers of men by showing LOVE!
