GREATER THINGS!

The things I am about to share may be hard for many to believe, but this does not mean that what you find in this paper is not absolutely true. For what I am going to share comes from more than just decades of study and revelation, it comes from experience.

So I want to state, right at the top of this essay, this may not be for you. That’s not a bad thing if it isn’t. I simply ask that if what you begin to read makes you angry, turn the page. But I also want you to know, that without a shadow of a doubt, the things you read today will one day ring true if they haven’t already.

It is my belief that one day everyone will come to the unity of the faith and the complete understanding of who and what we are, what we are capable of, as well as finding out what the elusive “meaning of life” is.

Ephesians 4:13
Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:

In the mean time if these words be not for you today they will be tomorrow.

The scriptures state there is a time appointed for each person to come to this wisdom. Just as there is a time for a child to learn his alphabet or multiplication table, so too, in mankind’s appointed time everyone will wake from their slumber into the glorious liberty of who they truly are and what they are truly capable of.

Nothing I write, say, or do, can change a person’s heart, only love and a person’s appointed time can. So to try to force someone to see what they are not ready to see is fruitless at best.

Now, if these words ARE for you, then rejoice!

In addition, if there are some who are not ready to hear what you hear, or see what you see, than do not think that they are somehow less than you. As Paul said, there was a time you were blind to all of this as well.

For those with ears to hear, they must not think that they have somehow arrived and others have not, lest they should fall into the sin of condemnation. And once we begin to condemn others, so begins our descent again into the depths of the very ignorance that has brought us all so much pain.

What a person believes, they receive. How a person judges another to be, brings that judgment on themself. Because we are all part of ONE BODY, we are all connected, what we do to others we do to ourselves. This is why we are instructed to “do unto others as you want done to yourself.” So if you judge people to be evil and cruel in your heart, your payment will be that people are evil and cruel. You will soon see that your thoughts create and you are capable of great and terrible things. This is why we must learn to take our thoughts captive. We must learn which thoughts to nourish and which to cast away.

Proverbs 23:7
For as a person thinks in his heart, so is he!

Whatever world you believe you are living in, this is the world you are living in and nothing, and no one, can change that… BUT YOU.

Right now these words may not really make sense to you, but after this essay is complete you will see that the power to do all things is, and has always been, within you!

So, to judge others for not knowing what you now know, is to lose the next step in your spiritual evolution. Eventually, all will come to the knowledge of the truth and the stature of the perfect man… WHY? You ask…

BECAUSE THAT IS WHO WE ALL TRULY ARE! And even if we don’t believe it, it does not matter, because we CANNOT DENY OURSELVES!

2 Timothy 2:13
If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself

Eventually, all will come to the understanding of the enlightened. The reason we know this is because THE ENLIGHTENED FIRST knew this, which means they are a FIRST FRUITS OF SORTS.

When planting vegetables before all your vegetables are harvested there is a first stripe… a couple of those green beans will sprout and be ready to harvest, before the rest. This is how you know that what you have planted will become what you intended them to be, IN THEIR ENTIRETY.

If you understand the things WRITTEN HERE then PERHAPS YOU are as the first fruit of a crop that is destined to be holy in its ENTIRETY as well. THERE IS HOPE FOR EVERYONE!

So it is not good to think higher of yourself, or to think that you know more than another, or to condemn another in what they believe, because YOU ARE PROOF that they will also know what you know.

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.

For some these words will be like music to their ears, to others they will be like hot coals on their head, yet either way these words will have their day.

Habakkuk 2:2-4
2 And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.
3 For the vision is yet for an APPOINTED TIME, BUT AT THE END IT SHALL SPEAK AND NOT LIE: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.

This is why I write what I write, not because I think everyone will agree with me or praise me. I share these essays because I am for some odd reason driven to do so, writing and sharing these essays also bring me a great amount of joy. I rejoice because I know that what I have come to know is true, others will come to know as true and I can put these words out there knowing people who are ready to hear them from all over the world will find them.

Mark 13:27
And he will send his angels and gather his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of the heavens.

So I do not try to convert people. The Kingdom of heaven was taken by force for far too long. It is LOVE/Goodness of God that draws a multitude to repentance. It is LOVE that will set people free, not pages upon pages of insight, or long speeches or prayers… LOVE!

Romans 2:4
Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?

I do not tell others they must believe as I believe. I do not think that I somehow know more than they know. I am simply sharing the crop that has sprouted from my heart, who these words will fall on is up to who these words will fall upon. Whether they rejoice or reject these words does not matter to me. What matters is the WORD has gone forth from my mouth and it will not return without accomplishing what I sent it out into the world to accomplish.

Isaiah 55:11
So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

So who is it that understands the GREATER THINGS of God? And who are those who cannot and will not?

Well in every person, there are in manner of speaking, TWO TYPES OF PEOPLE and our journey here is to learn the difference between the two and to find out who we truly are.

The 1st man, is the ignorant man who may not understand the words written here… This man exists but you will soon find, he truly doesn’t. He is an image of a greater man, who we will call the 2nd man, who will one day put down the first man rise again in his stead.

I understand that what I just wrote seems difficult to comprehend, but keep reading and the great mystery of who you are will begin to unfold.

So let’s discuss the first man and the last man for a bit. The scriptures state, the 1ST will be LAST and the LAST shall be 1st into the Kingdom of God. Then the scriptures go on to say, this is why we must be born again, not of Flesh, but of spirit!

The FIRST US is ignorant, an image, a lie, a false identity… This is why we must be BORN AGAIN. When we were first-born we came into this world pure and then were filled with a bunch of lies, that made us believe we were someone and something we were not. This is why, we must be BORN AGAIN, we must once again become like little children to inherit the Kingdom of God! We MUST be born again of incorruptible seed (truth), we must live as we truly are and DENY the person we began to believe ourself to be.

Matthew 16:24
Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself,

We ALL must be BORN AGAIN! We must RISE out of the ignorance of our past.

Unless you are BORN AGAIN it is impossible to SEE/comprehend the truth and enter into the Kingdom of God to rule and reign!

John 3:
3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

That which is born of FLESH is FLESH (1ST BORN)… the outward man, the ego man, the ignorant man who puts his faith in temporal things. The 1st man only believes in what he can see, touch, taste, and smell. This is a man after the Flesh.

We for far too long considered ourselves a flesh, blood, and bone being. However, who we truly are is actually within this FLESH, BLOOD, AND BONE BEING we began to believe ourselves to be…

WITHIN WHO YOU THINK YOU ARE IS WHO YOU REALLY ARE! AND WHO YOU REALLY ARE IS LIBERTY!

The ONE we believed ourself to be, was born after the Flesh. Now, mind you, the flesh is not a physical thing it is an IDEA that the physical thing is all there is. This is the FLESHLY MIND, otherwise known as the carnal mind… in truth, this is WORLDLY thinking.

John 8:23
And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.

The First man is from BENEATH (LOWER THINKING/TEMPORAL LOGIC), the SECOND MAN is from above (HIGHER THINKING/ENLIGHTENED) — those OF THE WORLD are lost… those who believe this temporal world is all there is and put their faith in it, ARE LOST!

The 1st man is the lowest form of existence and we are destined/predetermined for so much more.

The FLESH man is the man who lusts after the WORLD, WHICH IS THE VERY THING WE NEED TO BE SAVED FROM.

The “world” quite literally is a symbol for the LUSTS OF THE FLESH! The FLESH man, the 1st born man/Adam chooses DEATH over LIFE.

Romans 8:5
For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh

This is why life is not fulfilling for so many. Because while trapped in this first carnal man, while lost in this lie of who you think you are, you only worry about the things that pertain to this first carnal man. Worldly things.

The first man is filled with fear, anger, hate, envy, greed, and more.

Gal 5
19 Now the works of the FLESH are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

When you are trapped in this first man and cannot see the truth of who you REALLY are in the SECOND MAN your life is more of a chore than a reward.

The first man exists in the hell of his own ignorance.

So, there is a reason many will not be able to “hear” the words contained in this essay. The FLESH man cannot understand the things of the spirit, which is life and truth.

John 3
12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?

Now the 2nd man is SPIRIT! That which is born or spirit is SPIRIT. Jesus said, my words are SPIRIT and they are TRUTH. The 2nd Man, the 2nd Nature within us, is the revelation of the TRUTH of who we really are and what we are truly capable of, which is what this essay is about.

The scriptures state that this 2nd Man is the LORD FROM HEAVEN… As I have written before, the word LORD literally translates into the EXISTING ONE… the 2nd man is the ONE WHO IS EXISTS IN RIGHTEOUSNESS, PEACE, JOY AND POWER! This LORD, is not relocated to one specific man from thousands of years ago, that is the 1st Fleshly man’s teaching and it is a lie.

This is the “MAN” that I am going to write about today. The 2nd man… Christ, You, Me, and everyone in their RISEN/ENLIGHTENED state.

The second man who COMES (which literally means REVEALED, or UNCOVERED) and destroys the ANTI-CHRIST nature of the 1st man. The EGO that has ruled for far too long, sitting on the THRONE OF GOD, which is your MIND, declaring himself to be god. This is the 1st man, lost, corrupt, ignorant, and dead, for he is carnally (flesh) minded.

Romans 8:6
For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

If you can draw the inference from the above passage, DEATH is the absence of LIVING YOUR LIFE IN PEACE. Sadly, this is the state of a majority of humanity. This is why we have war, famine, sickness, hate, and every other evil under the sun. But truly, those trapped in the thoughts of the ignorant first man, are ignorant, so they are not truly to blame…. They simply don’t know any better.

Luke 23:34
Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.

If the first man, knew the truth, the first man would have never put to the death WHO THEY REALLY WERE AND ARE!

1 Corinthians 2:8
Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

Had any of us known the TRUTH and had not forgotten it, we would have never crucified the GLORY OF THE ONE WHO TRULY EXISTS.

The TRUTH was put to death at Golgotha, the place of the skull… RELIGION AND THE LAW OF THE LAND killed the TRUTH, because if anyone found out that THEY THEMSELVES were the LORD OF ALL THINGS, the HEIR of all things, the CHILD OF GOD, then the FIRST MAN who is a killer (Adam, cane, Ishmael, Esau) would have never wanted the 2nd man, who is a shepherd (jesus, Abel, Isaac, Jacob) put to death.

THE LIES OF THIS WORLD tore us down and placed us in the chains of ignorance and limitation. Pictured in Jesus being given a CROWN OF THORNS (thorns which are the cares oe the world and the deceit of riches)

Matthew 13:22
He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches

As JESUS took upon himself the SINS (cares/lies/ignorance) of this world and died… so did we. Which is why Jesus said, if you don’t do as I do, be as I am, think as I think, pick up your cross and follow me into the resurrection of who you truly are, then you are none of mine.

This is also why we have experienced so much pain and heartache. How can we enjoy our lives, if we are not living our lives as WHO WE TRULY ARE? This IMAGE of who we are needs to be put to death, so WHO WE TRULY ARE CAN RISE AGAIN.

John 1:15
John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he (2nd Man) of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.

So, once again, there are two men written about in scripture. These two men are symbols of humanity, first in its ignorant/immature/brainwashed state, and the second who is mankind in its enlightened state.

The first man, as scripture states is of the earth, earthy, which literally means, this first nature in man is focused on temporal things. Focused on everything outside of them, bills, work, friends, family, hobbies, nature, etc… While the second man is THE LORD from heaven above, who minds SPIRITUAL THINGS (focuses within himself, no longer looking for salvation outside of him or herself, for the Kingdom of God (where GOD IS) is WITHIN YOU!

However, the first me, and the first you, or should I state, the FIRST BELIEF YOU HAVE ABOUT YOURSELF is not spiritual at all.

We were brainwashed to think of ourselves more like animals doomed to die of old age or disease. We were brainwashed to believe we had no power of our own, that our only hope was to be found outside of us, coming again soon, from some far off, far away place. We were brainwashed to believe we were the lowest of the low, the foulest of the foul, sinners destined to burn endlessly because we were simply born.

1 Cor 15:
46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
47 The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven.
48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we SHALL ALSO BEAR THE IMAGE OF THE HEAVENLY.

The first man, is ADAM formed from the dust of the earth, ADAM is a word which, as you should know by now, literally means humanity as a whole, it is all of mankind.

There is the 1st ADAM and the Last ADAM. We are both. We have borne the image of the fleshly, ignorant, natural man, and now we shall inherit the HEAVENLY, SPIRITUAL MAN.

The 1st ADAM became ignorant of the truth, and lost his true identity the instant he ate of the knowledge of good and evil… that first man was formed by the lies of parents, family, friends, neighbors, culture, religion, society, school, and so on. And woe are the ways of this first man.

However, there will come a time when the truth will be shouted on the rooftops and those DEAD IN CHRIST… meaning those who are IGNORANT OF WHO THEY TRULY ARE WILL RISE and understand these words.

But until that time, “the book is sealed”. This is why the scriptures compare the Kingdom of God to a mystery. A mystery that not everyone would be able to grasp right away. This is why the Kingdom of God is often compared to something that is HIDDEN within an EARTHEN VESSEL… The TRUTH OF WHO YOU ARE is hidden away in the LIES you believed about yourself.

2 Corinthians 4:7
But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.

Who we REALLY ARE is HIDDEN within WHO WE THOUGHT WE WERE… So that the POWER OF GOD, may be OF GOD, AND NOT OF THE IMAGE OR IDEA OF GOD, which is who we have believed ourselves to be.

So many of the great truths of scripture had to be shared in parable. So that, “in seeing they may not see, and in hearing they may not hear”, as Isaiah stated.

Well, this essay is not for those who are scared to be kicked out of the synagogues as it was in Jesus’ day. No, this essay is for those who are ready to move pass their wilderness experience, cross the Jordan of death to self/image/ego, and enter into the promise land of who they really are and what they are truly capable of.

1 Corinthians 2:
9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him

Hear we see again that people truly have not grasped the full weight of what, and who, God really is and who, and what, they are in relation to God.

“IF YOU HAVE SEEN ME YOU HAVE SEEN THE FATHER!”

Even the most skilled religious leaders could not see, and can not see. In fact most will attack and tear down anything they do not understand. Because if the words that they declare as false turn out to be true, then their whole foundation is corrupt and everything they have believed themselves to be is a lie.

This is why the scriptures state that “darkness (ignorance) hates the light (truth) because it shows them their ways are evil.

And even as we, in our ignorance, will attack and tear down the truth and fight to have it put death in the thoughts of others, as we saw with the crucifixion of Jesus, the LIGHT that we truly are still SHINES WITHIN US… EVEN IF WE DON’T KNOW YET WHO WE ARE and what we are capable of.

John 1:5
And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

So I don’t take offense when people will state that what I have written is wrong or that I am somehow possessed by devils or other such nonsense, because I have come to a place where I understand these people are not doing this because they know better, it is because they don’t truly know what they do. They are still very much ruled by their carnal egotistical mind, otherwise known as the anti-Christ. The beast that is and is not and yet is. This anti-Christ is nothing more than an illusion that we agreed was US, when in fact this false ego blinded us to the glorious truth of who we REALLY are.

Now I have written extensively on what and who the anti-Christ is you can find these essays on this blog under the category, and “more essay” section.

However, to be brief in explanation, the antichrist is the You, you think you are but are not. As I said we were blinded when we came into the world, we took on a false identity and simply forgot who and what we were, and are. Then the “image” of who we were, the ego of who we are, took over.

Matthew 21:33
Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country

There is no spooky evil spawn of Satan who is going to rule in the world and make people take the mark of the beast literally. We already took the mark of the beast (ignorance) the instant we believed we were someone we were not.

The MARK of the beast, is a life of worry and dread. When you are ignorant of who you really are, you live as a lie and have no access to joy, peace, or purpose. There is no rest in a lie.

Revelation 14:11
… and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

There is no rest for those who believe they are what they are not. THE BEAST is the FALSE EGO of Man. There is no truth in this lie.

We missed the mark of who we really were and reduced ourselves to the likes of an animal, a beast of burden. The children of men, which is the 1st man, are more like beasts than anything else.

Ecclesiastes 3:18
I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that THEY THEMSELVES ARE BEASTS

Simply put, the anti-Christ that sits in the temple of God (your mind) declaring himself to be god (you) is who you think you are, but are not.

This ego has done everything to lead you away from the TRUTH. It even created another God for you to worship, a false God far away and tricked you into waiting for salvation. The Ego/Anti-Christ tricked you into thinking you are somehow far removed from this god, that your ego created. This anti-Christ/ego of yours has you putting your faith in everything outside of yourself. This EGO keeps you ashamed and makes you believe that you are unworthy of anything but ENDLESS TORTURE. This Ego/Anti-Christ tricks you into thinking IF YOU DO THIS OR DO THAT, than you will someday BE LIKE God… when you have always BEEN GOD TO BEGIN WITH!

Most people don’t even know that their salvation is deliverance from their own false identity. Most people don’t know that their salvation from their ignorance is ACTUALLY WITHIN!

“know you not the Kingdom of God is within”, “Christ Within You is the hope of Glory”

This ego/enemy of yours works diligently to keep you focused on everything but the very thing you need to focus on, which is of course finding out who you really are! This is why we find religions pointing you to someone besides your true self, and pointing you to the future and the past instead of the only things that matters… the Now, and the YOU!

We have been lied to people, and fear has been driven deep into our thoughts, as the thorns on the crown of Jesus were driven into his head. This is why I know many will not be able to agree with many of the words written here.

John 3
10 … Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?
11 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.
12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.

Did you catch that last line people… NO ONE ASCENDS TO HEAVEN unless that man first came down from heaven.

Now, here is where the fun begins.

We were lowered into this hell/ignorance so that we could also rise from it. For GOD so LOVED THE WORLD (the lusts of the flesh, lusts of the eyes, pride of life) that he GAVE his only begotten son…

You did the same. The idea of who you think you are, is a creation of YOU. You so loved this world that you created a child of your own and called this child YOU… and the TRUTH of who you were DIED (you became ignorant of) so that this IMAGE YOU CREATED could exist for a time.

And now it is TIME for THE REAL YOU to rise again, and DIE of who you THINK YOU ARE.

2 Corinthians 5:15
And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.

Only a few of you can grasp this… so I will further explain. Let’s talk about THIS IMAGE THAT HAS BEEN CREATED.

15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:

An image is a representation of something… It is NOT that something. In other words, the SON ( a title for the FIRSTBORN of EVERY CREATURE) is an IMAGE of the INVISIBLE GOD….

When the disciples asked Jesus, show us the FATHER, he said… “If you have seen me, you have seen the FATHER”….

Let us take that a step further, the FIRSTBORN OF EVERY CREATURE is the SON, not just JESUS… But the FIRSTBORN OF EVERY CREATURE… so it can be easily stated…

“If you have seen the FIRSTBORN of EVERY CREATURE you have seen the FATHER”

In 1st John, John declares, that AS HE IS so are WE in this world. Jesus is said to be the FIRST BORN among the DEAD, the FIRST BORN AMONG many brethren, THE first-born of EVERY CREATURE… This is a great mystery, because this is not speaking of ONE SINGLE MAN, but the WHOLE OF THE HUMAN RACE….

The “HIM” that is referenced in the next verse is the HIM that is WITHIN all of CREATION.

16 For by him (the firstborn of all creation) were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:

So ALL things were created by HIM and FOR HIM… and in Hebrews we see that GOD created all things THROUGH this “SON” which is the firstborn of all creation.

Hebrews 1:2
Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds

This VERY SAME (Image/Son/Firstborn OF ALL CREATION) is appointed HEIR OF ALL THINGS… So the question we must ask, is this JESUS the man alone? Or is JESUS A SYMBOL of the FIRSTBORN OF ALL, ALL, ALL CREATION (mankind)… Meaning is JESUS simply a symbol for ALL OF US? As John states “as HE is, so are we”…. Well, THE SON is APPOINTED HEIR OF ALL THINGS…..

Romans 8:17
And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

Christ was a TITLE given to Jesus… a title and crown we also wear. So when you read that we are HEIRS of GOD and JOINT-HEIRS with Christ… this means we are the same. No one is greater than another.

WE ARE ALL HEIRS OF GOD… set to inherit ALL THINGS… All THINGS, which means, EVERYTHING! Everything that GOD IS AND GOD CAN DO… ALL THINGS! Whatever the FATHER has the SON will have.

First the SON will put his enemies under his feet, than the son will GO TO THE FATHER… which means the SON and the FATHER will become ONE and the same.

1 Corinthians 15:28
And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.

Just as your children become parents themselves, so to you will become the very thing you always were. The HEIR as long as he is a child differs nothing from a servant or slave. This is written in the book of Galatians, although the (child/those immature in wisdom) IS LORD OF EVERYTHING.

We ARE God’s child… not just JESUS ALONE. Jesus is no better or worse than we are. He is simply the first-born among many brethren, like me, like you. An older brother is not greater than his younger more inexperienced brothers.

Romans is not the only place we see that we are ALSO THE ONE TRUE HEIR. ISRAEL which was an entire people, was ALSO CALLED God’s son… In fact, God said to Pharoah that ISRAEL was his FIRSTBORN.

Exodus 4:22
And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the Lord, Israel is my son, even my firstborn!

Hhmmn, this is interesting because a majority of those in Christianity have been taught that the ONLY SON OF GOD was JESUS… This was another clever trick of the Ego of mankind. You need to let this go. Deep within you there is a fear that if you STOP believing this Jesus is your Lord and Savior you will somehow be damned, but what you don’t see is that you have damned yourself with these lies.

There is NOT ONE PERSON who is more special than another. Regardless of what religion has taught you. God is not respecter of persons. ADAM and JESUS are symbols of humanity in it’s two states, one is its ignorant state, and the other in it’s risen/enlightened state.

We know from scripture that the SON (children of God/creation of God/Image of God) IS THE HEIR OF ALL THINGS… which we found out was not one single man named Adam, or jesus, or even Israel, but EVERYONE because…

Romans 9:26
And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are NOT my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God.

Despite what you have been taught by religion, whatever God wills, God’s will WILL be done… meaning, in the end, even those who seem to be so far removed from the understanding of who they are, even those who have been called enemies of God, WILL BE SAVED from their ignorance and will come to the UNITY of the faith… And BY UNITY I mean, the understanding that we are ALL ONE…. The FIRSTBORN AMONG THE DEAD, the FIRSTBORN AMONG ALL, ALL, ALL CREATION… is WHO WE ARE!

What God has planned cannot be undone. Whatever GOD wills WILL be done…

Isaiah 14:27
For the Lord of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it? and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?

Whatever you SET YOUR MIND to, whatever YOU BELIEVE is TRUE, WHO CAN CHANGE YOUR MIND? No one can… Whatever the LORD, which, once again, LITERALLY MEANS “THE ONE WHO EXISTS” has purposed, who can change that?

Now this would be bad news, if it wasn’t first set in stone that no one can fail. Because the LORD, the ONE WHO EXISTS WITHIN US ALL has already purposed that ALL come to the knowledge of the truth, that ALL will finally realize who THEY TRULY ARE and what they are TRULY CAPABLE of… which is ALL THINGS!

1 Timothy 2:4
Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

WE ARE ALL HEIRS and LORD OF ALL!

Galatians 3:29
And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.

The problem is, most people don’t get it yet. They don’t understand WHO THEY TRULY ARE… As Galatians states, even though we are HEIRS and LORD OF EVERYTHING (Which sounds like blasphemy to the unbeliever) we appear and think like children or ignorant slaves.

WE ARE THE HEIRS that DON’T KNOW IT… The FIRSTBORN of ALL CREATION.. you are the FIRSTBORN of all creation if you EXIST!

Galatians 4:1
Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant/slave, though he be lord of all…

Read that again… We are the heirs, but if we are immature and ignorant of this, we seem like slaves or servants, even though WE ARE LORD OF EVERYTHING!

Remember GOD CREATES EVERYTHING through us, for us, which is why Jesus said… “With Faith ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE”

Now here is where it gets tricky…

If YOU can BELIEVE, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE TO HIM that BELIEVES. (Mark 9:23 KJV)

All things are possible for THOSE who believe… Now catch this next part… Look and see who else ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE BY.

For with God NOTHING shall be impossible. (Luke 1:37 KJV)

All things are possible for God…
All things are possible for those that believe…

And again…

And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. (Matthew 17:20 KJV)

For the person who has faith and believes… ALL things are possible!

And again…

And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt. (Mark 14:36 KJV)

All things are possible with God
All things are possible for the believer.

God and the believer are ONE. “That they may be one, as we are one”, “I am in the Father and the father is in me”

All things are possible for the YOU! Because of who YOU really Are, you are the FIRSTBORN OF ALL CREATION, you ARE THE SON OF GOD, and the ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD… BECAUSE GOD IS WITHIN YOU, CREATING THE YOU YOU THINK YOU ARE… But it is GOD WHO SEES THROUGH YOUR EYES AND GUIDES YOUR HANDS….

God LOVED THE WORLD so much that GOD gave his ONLY BEGOTTEN SON (who you think you are) so that YOU (who you THINK YOU ARE) MAY LIVE. BUT NOW IT IS TIME TO ARISE AND WAKE UP!

Psalms 82
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.

You see people, GOD IS ALL THERE IS, and you are the manifestation of God, YOU ARE THE SON… by whom ALL THINGS ARE CREATED, which is why ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE FOR YOU if you BELIEVE.

17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;

THE DEAD are those who FORGOT who they really were and had the TRUTH resurrected within them… CHRIST which is a title, is the firstborn among the dead/ignorant, the human race entered death (ignorance) so that we might overcome DEATH…

We became CORRUPT in our thinking and began to limit ourselves. We missed the mark of the high calling, which is that light shining in darkness, and we began to believe we were victims of circumstance. We forgot that we create our world, and everything was created by us, for us. But now it is time to wake up and put on the perfect mind once again.

1 Corinthians 15:54
So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

When this happens we will LIVE OUR LIVES, and the death/hell (ignorant suffering) that has become of our lives will be swallowed up in victory!

As I stated earlier, no one ascends into heaven, unless they first descend into hell and forget who they are… We forgot who we were and died, but we shall also revive from our ignorance and take back what was once ours, and ALL THINGS WILL BE POSSIBLE.

Ephesians 4:
8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.
9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?

These are the GREATER THINGS Jesus spoke of. This is why Jesus said, “I can do nothing but the Father does all…” Because Jesus understood, as I understand, this IDENTITY we have right now is not WHO WE ARE, it is simply the vehicle in which God (who we are ONE with) chooses to exist in.

John 14:10
Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.

When you see yourself in the mirror, just who is that looking at you through your eyes?

The answer to this, is your salvation!

Much love to you and yours,
Jacob

Call Upon The Name

CALL UPON THE NAME

This weekend I had the chance to speak with a pastor of a near by church. He was sharing quite a bit with me. I took the oppurtunity to do the same. I knew that the way I “see” things was dramatically different than the way he saw things. So I didn’t try to force my views on him, nor did I try and prove what he was saying as wrong. He of course, put heavy emphasis on Jesus the man/the Christ being Lord and Savior and that if you don’t put all your trust in this man from two thousand years ago then you will not be saved.

When I asked him what it is that we needed saving from. His answer was of course infinite torture. You see his view of salvation is an assurance that in the future a God of Love will not torture him endlessly.

This is what I call the dangling of the carrot. Hold that carrot out in front of the donkey and get that donkey to work for you without ever receiving the reward. To an extent this is very true with religion today. There is a lot of self assurance and belief that in the future everything will finally be perfect, but in the now the majority of mainstream “believers” are some of the most miserable. And why wouldn’t they be? They are taught that they have no power over their situations. They are taught that there is a scary monster called the devil who is out to get them, so when anything goes wrong of course it couldn’t be them who are either to blame for it, or benefit from it. They are also taught how to be prideful and arrogant and prejudice. They are convinced they are part of some elite club and that anyone outside that club is somehow “less than”. They believe that it is love to tell a person that they are going to burn endlessly if these people don’t change their orientation or belief. They are taught that they will be blessed with more money IF they only give their money, sort of like a spiritual lottery where you have to be in it to win it. The reward for their devotion to whatever church, temple, mosque, or religion they serve is the promise of a future pay off… THAT NEVER COMES WHILE THEY WALK THIS EARTH. Sort of like saying, work for me for the rest of your life and after your dead I’ll pay you.

Now this line of “sinking” ironically is not even scriptural. It took me many years of study, prayer and contemplation to see how very tricked I too had been. I too, had been the donkey chasing after that carrot. It took years to finally give up this egotistical line of “sinking” and find that the carrot had already been within. The instant I did, I began to rest.

After your work, and you SEE all you have done under the sun, and you can say that everything was for the good… YOU REST! This my friends is salvation.

Salvation is NOT a future event. It is freedom from your fear, your worries, your dread, your insecurities, your pride, your hate, your shame, your illusions, etc. Salvation is KNOWING the TRUTH of who you are. Because it is THE TRUTH that sets you free! Salvation is finally entering the KINGDOM OF GOD. Which is NOT a future event… it is a NOW EVENT.

For those who do not know what the Kingdom of God is… this is not some far off palace in the sky. The Kingdom is WITHIN YOU and it is RIGHTEOUSNESS, PEACE AND JOY! – It is finally finding REST! It is finally being able to LIVE YOUR LIFE IN ALL IT’S GLORY!

Romans 14:17
For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

Now, where mainstream Christianity uses fear as a motivator… you will find that in the kingdom of heaven, there is no fear… there is ONLY LOVE!

God is LOVE! And there is NO FEAR in love. In fact, perfect LOVE casts out all fear!

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.

And yet those in mainstream Christianity will use fear of this or that, whether it is hell or the devil, to get you to do whatever it is they want you to do. “You better do this… OR BURN!!!!!”

Fear produces death. Giving people a to do list to find peace is pictured beautifully in the allegory of the LAW. Moses came up with what seems like an endless list of do’s and don’ts for us to follow… OR ELSE! In it contained ways to punish people, condemn people, and yes kill people… Man’s law is not God’s law. The LAW OF LOVE is CLEAR!LOVE GOD FIRST and…

Mark 12:31
And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

Man’s law produces fear, shame, regret, pride, anger, lust and more… The Law of Man produces DEATH (carnal minded thinking)… It is the LAW OF SIN and DEATH. The LAW OF LOVE, which one finds when they rest… SETS YOU FREE!

Romans 8:2
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

No to do this one must learn to DENY themselves. They must TAKE UP THEIR CROSS. They must lay down the lies the once learned and cross over to the truth.

Let’s for a moment see what mainstream Christianity says we need to do to find out “future salvation”. Then I will show you what we must lay down to be free now.

Salvation according to mainstream christianity is “confessing Jesus as Lord and escaping and endless amount of unspeakable torture. The caveat being, this infinite horror show many professing Christians have no problem saying a GOD OF LOVE created.

The same God of “love” who created you, and me. The same God of love who told us all to love and forgive, especially our enemies. The same God of love who said, If we know how to take care of our children and we are ignorant, HOW MUCH MORE does this same God know how to treat his own.

The logical question many parents would ask is, if they, themselves, would never give up on their kids regardless of what their children had done, why would God? There is not one parent that would send their child away to a place of unspeakable torture because their child was too ignorant to know their parent to begin with. Anyone reading this would agree, it is better for a child to be taught and encouraged and loved. Yet, not the god of mainstream Christianity. No, this God would say that we should always forgive and love, yet this God, according to mainstream Christianity will not do the same.

IF you DON’T do as you have been told, if you DON’T say the magic words and call upon the name of the “Lord”, the very same God of “love” who created you, and told you to love always, forgive always, to do good always even to those who do you wrong, will send you to a this place of infinite torture.

And I bought into that line of “sinking” for many years believe it or not. Even though it never sat right with me.

I just wanted so desperately to know God, to escape my sadness and to find peace. I thought I better get in line and believe what everyone had been telling me was true since I was about twelve years old, you know, JUST IN CASE I was headed to Dante’s inferno for not doing so.

I was alive once before the LAW came. I didn’t fear God. I had hope. I trusted in God’s provision. I believed I could be anything. I didn’t worry about what tomorrow would bring, what I would wear, what I would eat. I didn’t worry that God was angry with me, holding me under his judgmental microscope waiting for me to mess up so he could send me to a place that makes the movie SAW look like something from Walt Disney’s imagination…. I WAS ALIVE ONCE UNTIL THE LAW CAME.

I was TRICKED AS PAUL was TRICKED! Really read this next verse and then let’s open our eyes a little wider as the truth come forward.

Romans 7:8-10
8 But sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, produced in me every kind of coveting. For apart from the law, sin was dead. 9 Once I was alive apart from the law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died. 10 I found that the very commandment that was intended to bring life actually brought death.

Paul understood he had been tricked, just like I was tricked… JUST LIKE YOU WERE TRICKED. But trust me the deception goes much deeper than this. We are just getting started with this one people.

But back to Paul. You see “HE” was TRICKED by religious people as I was. He was a Pharisee of Pharisees. “SIN” seized the opportunity to take the very TRUTH ABOUT GOD intended to bring life and actually tricked Paul into living a life of death.

Let me offer what I believe Romans 7:8-10 means.

Sin is the thought of foolishness. It is missing the mark, missing the truth. Sin is missing the SPIRIT of things. SIN can take something that is meant to be a blessing and turn it into a curse. It is taking something the wrong way. Like reading the directions of a shampoo bottle and thinking you must continue to wash your hair again and again and again, because it says “Repeat”. As opposed to understanding this means, the NEXT TIME you wash your hair do the same thing.

So Paul misunderstood what the LAW OF GOD really meant. This is what SIN is, it is to think foolishly, to be ignorant, TO MISS THE TRUTH OF GOD and MISS THE MARK OF WHO YOU REALLY ARE.

Proverbs 24:9
The thought of foolishness is sin

Paul was ALIVE ONCE, as I was ALIVE before MY FOOLISH UNDERSTANDING of GOD’S LAW TRICKED me into thinking I was miserable sinner who was damned to suffer the horrors of endless suffering.

The truth is we were ALL ALIVE once before SIN (OUR FOOLISH UNDERSTANDING) took the opportunity to turn the WONDERFUL TRUTH OF GOD into a terrible threat where we better do what religious men and women tell us to do, believe as they believe, think as they think, condemn as they condemn, OR ELSE!

We all began our lives as ADAM (Which by the way, literally means MANKIND as a whole).

We ALL were ADAM, we began UNASHAMED of who God created us to be. We were at peace. We had no fear of the future, no shame of the past, we were children alive in the garden, living the life God intended… THAT IS OF COURSE, until we were brought to that TREE OF KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL and told we better eat or else.

At around twelve years old or so I began to listen to what the Priest told me, in my reLIEgion classes I was made to attend I was first taught of the horrors that await IF I DIDN’T FOLLOW THE FOLD. Side note: something FOLDED has something important wrapped up and hidden within.

Until the priest and religion instructors told me what a blasphemous sinner I was, I had no idea that I was born into this world the miserable horrible sinner that God loved so much he actually had to murder his own son to save me. Which of course if I didn’t swallow that bait hook, line and sinker, I would be punished for. So I had to believe my God of Love, actually hated me and murdered his son to save me, BUT only if I believed he did this.

SOUNDS RIDICULOUS if you really think about it. But as children we don’t know any better do we?

AND SO…. (PLEASE RE-READ WITH DIFFERENT EYES)

Romans 7:8-10
8 SIN, SEIZING the opportunity afforded by the commandment (the foolish idea of what God’s commandments were), produced in me every kind of coveting. For apart from the law (This kind of foolish thinking), sin was dead (I had no fear and ignorance). 9 ONCE I was ALIVE apart from the law; but when the commandment came, sin (THE IGNORANT TEACHING OF WHAT IT WAS, WHICH IT REALLY WASN’T) sprang to life and I died. 10 (LATER IN LIFE) I found that the very commandment that was intended to bring life actually brought death. (BECAUSE I NEVER REALLY UNDERSTOOD IT)… THANK YOU SIN!

IN THE GARDEN…

The SERPENT said EAT FROM THIS TREE and you will be LIKE GOD! The Serpent said, if you eat from this you surely won’t die. Just as the RELIGIOUS leaders of my youth told me, they said believe this, do this, don’t do that, and you will LIVE FOR EVER… or else!

YES, the EGO of man is clever and as children (immature in the faith) we listen. I listened and it took hold and my whole world changed.

You see as kids, we DON’T know truly, as EVE didn’t know, that we ALREADY WERE AND ARE LIKE GOD. We DIDN’T HAVE to eat from the tree of knowledge of what is good and what is evil to be like what we were. WE ALREADY ARE AND WERE the children of God. But when those religious leaders told us, WE NEED TO KNOW WHAT IS RIGHT AND WRONG in God’s eyes to be God’s child we listened and we ate, and we BELIEVED, and EVERYONE OF US DIED SPIRITUALLY!

The instant we believed, we began seeing God outside of us, far away and distant from us. We believed God was angry at us… for simply being born into a fallen world because of someone else’s mistake we were told. AND WE BELIEVED THAT TOO.

And so we were cast out of the GARDEN, which is within us, which is the Kingdom of God, which is where we lived/existed BEFORE SIN (FOOLISH BELIEF) took hold and condemned us to death.

If truth be told, it wasn’t ADAM that fell, It was US!

Think back to when you were a child, carefree and happy. Then question, why did it all changed?

The answer is we were tricked into separating ourselves from the truth by listening to lies. And what a cost we have all paid.

The instant we ate of the egotistical lies of religion our eyes were opened to a whole new world of death. And that world was one where we suffered, and had to work harder and harder to become what we had forgotten we already were, GOD’S ONLY BEGOTTEN.

We were told we were NAKED and that we should be ashamed, that were SINNERS in need of a Savior. We were told we were no good, losers, that we would never know peace or joy UNLESS WE DID AS those keepers of the TREE OF KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL told us to do.

The serpents tricked us into eating and we ate. AND CONTINUE TO EAT! Because we have not yet believed, IT IS NOT BLASPHEMOUS TO ACCEPT WHO WE TRULY ARE.

Think about this, who did Jesus call serpents?

That’s right the religious leaders of the time. The ones who looked all righteous on the outside but were filled with hypocrisy and death.

Matthew 23
33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers

These blind guides did not see (know) the truth, and we followed them and did we not ALL FALL INTO THE DITCH of IGNORANCE AND SUFFERING?

They told us we were sinners, and that we should be ashamed, and that we should hate who we were, we were bad, bad, bad! So bad we deserve to be tortured endlessly… Once again their reason was simple, because of ONE’S MAN’S SIN six thousand years ago. Another shining example of how SIN takes the scriptures and makes it mean the very thing it means not.

YET, did God tell us we should be ashamed of who we are? Did God tell us we need to do anything to be who he created us to be? NO! One of the very first things God told us NOT TO DO was to EAT OF THAT TREE!

Genesis 3:11
And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?

So I ask you, DID GOD TELL YOU THAT YOU WERE A SINNER or DID MANKIND?

The answer is simple, CARNAL MANKIND did.

So a bigger question is now raised? What is salvation? Do we really need to be saved from some monstrous fate God has predestined for those who don’t do as the religious/serpents tell us?

OR do we need to be saved from the SIN of believing what the religious/serpents have tricked us into believing?

The SIN OF ADAM was EATING OF THAT TREE wasn’t it? ADAM’S sin was not simply being born ignorant of God, it was being tricked into believing he had to do something to be like God.

SO WHAT IS IT WE NEED TO REALLY BE SAVED FROM?

Well let me first put on theory to rest. We are NOT saved from some place of infinite torture called Hell. The reason is simple, there is no such thing. Hell literally translates into the GRAVE, the HIDDEN PLACE, it is IGNORANCE. For the sake of time, if you disagree with this statement please do go to my search bar and read two essays I have written here, one is called “Hell Revealed” and the other is called “Lake of Fire Revealed” and NO they are not the same thing.

HELL (our ignorance/death) is cast into the LAKE OF FIRE (Which is God’s spirit, a consuming fire, which is an allegory for refinement. As impurities as burned away from precious metals, so are our impure thoughts burned away with the truth.)

Nothing can separate us from the love of God! Only our ego can trick us into thinking we are far from God.

Romans 8
38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

I must add, since HELL is our ignorance, it is indeed our IGNORANCE that we need to be saved from.

Now there are many teaching today that God will forgive us and save all men. And that is a step in the right direction. The problem with this is, they are still placing salvation in the future. They are still saying this salvation was attained by one man who was put to death so we could die and go to heaven. And that my friends is a big problem. It is like saying, one doesn’t need to learn how to drive to get a license, because one man learned for us all. This is another trick of that enemy called the ego. Once again it is putting faith in something outside of you, instead of going within.

This belief that the price was paid by someone else, and that we need do nothing but believe that… is like trying to get to the truth by entering another door because it seems easier and people told you to.

John 10:1
10 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 and the robber is the ego of man, always trying to do it the carnal way.

HOWEVER, when you enter into the truth… the same person who was once a follower of the truth, becomes the truth itself.

John 10:2
2 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

Jesus never said to simply believe on him and it’s good. Jesus said, to take up the cross, to do as he did, to see as he saw, to be what you were born to be. Jesus never said to pray to him, or to think that you are good by simply believing he did what he did. HE SAID…

Matthew 16:24
Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

DENY YOURSELF, this doesn’t mean to deprive yourself. It means to DENY IT. To understand who you think you are IS NOT WHO YOU ARE. Jesus said IF ANY MAN COME AFTER HIM, LET HIM DENY WHO HE THINKS HE IS, take up the same CROSS from death to LIFE AND FOLLOW THE PATTERN LAID OUT FOR US ALL.

Imagine if you will that I had overcome this world, and I told you “I AM” the resurrection and the life. The SIN would be to think that “I”, “Jacob Israel” was the SAVIOR who you must put all your trust in… However, the words can be read another way… “I am the resurrection and the life” MEANING the path to resurrection and life from the death of our ignorance is UNDERSTANDING “I AM”, understanding who YOU ARE TRULY is the RESURRECTION from the ignorance of who you once thought you were. It was never about putting your faith in one man from thousands of years ago, IT WAS ALWAYS ABOUT understanding THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS WITHIN YOU. It is about finding your way back into the garden. It is about DENYING who you think you are and taking hold of the marvelous truth that you are God’s only begotten child.

When you do this, when you deny yourself and take up the cross from death to life, you too can say when people ask to show them the Father that “I am in the Father and the Father is in me”. For the Father is all there is.

Now for those that teach, only Jesus did what has to be done what follows is people feel that they are let off the hook. Meaning, people can basically live the way they want to live and it’s all good. The truth is, whatever a man sows he shall also reap. We are corrected in this life and when this happens we MUST pay attention to it. Our testing is the trial of our faith. This is our refinement process. So to simply believe you have arrived and it’s all good and you can go about and live your life any old way you want because someone else did all the work is in fact another lie of the ego. And just because your EGO has made you believe that this is some grand revelation doesn’t mean it is true. The EGO can come as an angel of light and cause you much harm.

Just because you believe it’s all going to be peaches and cream after physical death doesn’t mean you are saved. Because salvation has absolutely nothing to do with the future. You are still trapped, you are still in hell, you still need to be saved from YOUR”SELF” in the here and now.

You see the thief wants to do three things to you.

John 10:10
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy…

The THIEF pictured here is your EGO, the person you have been tricked into believing is you, the one you must deny. Another name for this thief is the Devil. Once again, please read my article called “Man’s Ego is the Devil” if you have questions about that statement. And it is this THIEF, this FALSE SENSE OF SELF that you need to be saved from. You need to be saved from your ignorant suffering. You need to KNOW LIFE AGAIN! And the only way to do this is to embrace who you truly are and always have been. This revelation is revealed with you.

John 10:10
… “I” (WHO YOU REALLY ARE) am come (IS REVEALED) that they might HAVE LIFE, and that they might have it more abundantly.

BELIEF doesn’t set anyone free, going along with the popular crowd doesn’t set anyone free, doing this or doing that doesn’t set you free… ONLY THE TRUTH OF WHO YOU REALLY ARE sets you free.

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

Now what I am about to share may shock you, but it doesn’t make it any the less true. Thankfully the scriptures also back this revelation up.

As with the story of ADAM, the story of Jesus’ crucifixion is also OUR STORY!

Jesus is a symbol of who we all really are and were before “we/our ego” crucified him. As Paul said, we also were crucified with him.

When Jesus died, we died. Why? BECAUSE WE ARE HIM AND HE IS US. Jesus is a symbol of the son of God we really are that we allowed RELIGIOUS LEADERS and POLITICAL LEADERS to KILL WITHIN US. But the same SON OF GOD that we are, that we all crucified, is also LORD. The word lord, in other scriptures it is translated to Jehovah, literally means the EXISTING ONE. You see, JESUS (a symbol of humanity in it’s risen/resurrected/enlightened state) is the ONLY US that really EXISTS!

We have the MIND OF CHRIST, we are the BODY OF CHRIST, we have the NAME OF CHRIST… That doesn’t leave any room for Tom, Dick and Carnal Harry.

Who we thought we were is actually the very same EGO that killed who we always have been. We chose an alternative reality, one where suffering is a way of life, where hopes and dreams go unanswered, where we have no power, where we need to do what religious people tell us to do to be saved from an imaginary place of infinite torture that doesn’t even exist.

YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW TO BE SAVED? FIND OUT WHO YOU ARE!

Let me break down the symbolism of the crucifixion for you. To help you better understand this.

Jesus is called the WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE. No one can get to the FATHER without knowing the way, the truth, and LIFE!

John 14:6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by (The way, the truth, and the LIFE).

ANDDDDDDDDD….. For THAT to be fully realized one must understand the nature (name) of God (love) is also the NATURE (name) of that person. Because when that nature is matured and we judge the truth correctly we understand AS HE (JESUS) is… SO ARE WE!

1 John 4:17
Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.

Now WHO was condemned by the religious of the day and declared to be HERETIC for claiming to be the SON OF GOD?

THE WAY, THE TRUTH, THE LIFE!

Who was rejected by many, who was angry at what religion had done to the way people understood God?

THE WAY, THE TRUTH, THE LIFE!

Who was put to death by the religious and political leaders of the time. Because they wanted to be KING and rule, and didn’t want all of humanity to be ruled by the WAY, TRUTH, AND THE LIFE?

THE WAY, THE TRUTH, THE LIFE!

And where was the WAY, TRUTH, AND THE LIFE put to death by these religious and political leaders?

That’s right GOLGOTHA… and what does GOLGOTHA MEANS? The PLACE OF THE SKULL! And what is beneath your skull? YOU BRAIN!

And where is the WAY, TRUTH, AND LIFE buried right now? WITHIN YOU!

And where is the WAY, TRUTH, AND LIFE seated? In the Temple of God… PLEASE POINT TO YOUR TEMPLES. What is between them?

YOUR BRAIN! Your thoughts!

Christ (The truth revealed in mankind) was put to death (buried beneath lies) at Golgotha (the place of the skull=Our brains), yet CHRIST(the way, truth, and life) remains seated in the TEMPLE of Gods (Your brain is between your temples).

We ALL were crucified with Christ (meaning we all became ignorant of the Truth) after we were given a crown of thorns.

And what does a crown symbolize? A RULE, BEING RULED. And what are the Thorns?

Mark 4:18-20
18 And these are they which are sown among THORNS; such as hear the word,
19 And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.

The instant we took upon ourselves the SINS (foolish thoughts/cares) of the world, the TRUTH OF WHO WE WERE was put to death, by the new IDEA of what we should be.

And in that instant we began to believe God had forsaken us.

Matthew 27:46
And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

All thanks to that religious egotistical serpent that said, TO BE LIKE GOD ALL WE MUST DO IS EAT!

We all believed we were separated from God and that produced death. We ALL were forced outside the GARDEN (our heart) and began living OUTSIDE the GARDEN, which means we began to put faith in everything temporal outside of us instead of the eternal truth that is within.

Newsflash people, WE WERE THE ONE “MAN” THAT BROUGHT DEATH INTO THE WORLD. The good news is WE ARE THE ONE MAN THAT BRINGS LIFE INTO THE WORLD. The instant we CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD!

Now here is the big shocker. Read this scripture carefully and buckle up because everything is about to change.

Romans 10:12-14
12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

There is no difference between you and me, and those we see in the news or on the street. The same LORD IS OVER US ALL.

The word LORD translates to “The EXISTING ONE”

There is no difference between you and me or others, because the same ONE THAT EXISTS is over all. Meaning we ALL EXIST. We all share that same amazing gift or LIFE. CHRIST is our LIFE. WE EXIST! The world revolved around each of us. The sun rises and sets upon each of us. We ALL EXIST! We ALL are the one looking behind the son of the ONE WHO EXISTS… who we ignorantly call by our worldly name… Our EXISTENCE GAVE LIFE TO WHO WE ARE IN THIS WORLD. And just as we repent of the life we have created for ourselves and set out to destroy the idea of the person we used to be, we see the same story told over and over again in the scripture.

Genesis 6:6
And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.

The one who exists wishes that he or she had not become the very thing they had become. This is the first step toward true salvation.

There is no difference between us, at our core we all EXIST! We ALL are in the father and the father is in us. We all can say, if you have seen (understood) ME you have seen (understood) I EXIST!

We need to go deeper, to seek more, really question who is behind the wheel driving our life? We need to see that “He that is WITHIN ME, the one who EXISTS, is GREATER than the ONE you think you are in this world.”

I GO TO MY FATHER (I AM/I exist), for he is GREATER than who I think I am.

That day, I will be IN YOU and you will be IN ME, because you will understand we ALL EXIST!

Now here is one way it is explained to US on how we will find salvation. And what follows is truly what this whole paper has been about.

Romans 10
13 For whosoever shall CALL upon the NAME of the LORD shall be saved.

It would be sin to think The words “call upon the name” of Jesus is how salvation is found. The words call upon (eÍpikaleÑw) actually translate to “to put a name upon, to surname, to permit one’s self to be surnamed, to be named after someone”

This is huge news people, because we already know the word LORD translates to THE EXISTING ONE. But what is indeed startling is the fact that the only way to find salvation is to CALL YOURSELF THE EXISTING ONE!

It is not about accepting Jesus Christ as your lord and savior, it is about accepting that what was true was Jesus is true for you. You too can say, BEFORE ABRAHAM WAS I AM. As Jesus did, before you knew ABRAHAM you EXISTED!

So you see the problem. For anyone to truly know salvation, they must first know SALVATION IS ALREADY THEIRS! You will never be free as long as you are looking outside of you for the answers, you will only know the truth when you enter in and become the shepherd of the sheep yourself. The next line in Romans is the reason so many still suffer.

14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed?

How are you going to finally come to realize who you are, if you believe it is a sin to do so.

CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD! CALL YOURSELF THE EXISTING ONE AND BREAK FREE!

The POWER OF LIFE AND DEATH IS IN YOU! Think differently!

Now before you go and say that I am declaring that “I AM” God alone, or that you are GOD ALONE… I want to remind of something, GOD IS THE ONLY THING THAT EXISTS!

Mark 12:32
And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is NONE OTHER.

Now read this with new eyes.

Genesis 1:26
And God (THE ONLY ONE WHO EXISTS) said, Let US make man in our image, after our likeness:

The ONE WHO EXISTS created who you think you are in the image of who you really are. You TRULY ARE more than you know.

I would like to leave you with this last ground breaking truth. In the scriptures, when Moses went to Pharoah and was asked what God sent him… Moses answered, “I Am”… God (The one who exists) spoke with Moses and explained that his true name was “I Am That I Am”. Not only does this mean God is existence itself… but the words “I AM” are translated incorrectly… Those Hebrew words literally translate into… “I WILL BE WHATEVER I WILL BE”.

God is the creator, he makes and remakes as he wills. Be what it is you want to be, by first knowing who you TRULY ARE! The POWER OF LIFE AND DEATH is in your mind and tongue. CREATE A LIFE FOR YOURSELF AND RISE FROM THE GRAVE OF RELIGIOUS THINKING.

Psalms 82
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.

BELIEVE, BE TRUE, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE

There is a lot to this video. I hope you don’t mind the video affect. When I first did this video I really wanted people to focus on what was being said as opposed to being able to see who was saying it. Also the video affect helped with adding graphics. I hope the affect isn’t too distracting. In any event, there is much to take from this. So sit back, relax, turn up the volume, make the screen as big as you can and enjoy. 🙂

THE PRODIGAL WILL RETURN

THE PRODIGAL WILL RETURN


I’m sure, if you made it to this blog, you have heard the story of the prodigal’s return. You’ve also been taught that this is an allegory for all of us. I used to believe that to be true as well. And yes, to certain extent it is. We all have gone astray and have had realized how bankrupt we were without God, and how lost we were without God’s TRUTH (Christ revealed in us). Even though, God had His hand (authority) on us every step of the way. 

Most don’t believe this of course, not many will go on record and say, “God is in control of everything, even our ignornace!” … well Paul did for us, in the book of Romans 8, he says “The Creature (Our souls) were made subject to VANITY, NOT WILLINGLY, but by REASON of HE who SUBJECTED US also in Hope. You see, even our frustration and pain has a point.  The story of the prodigal is beautiful illustration of this. As the Father allowed the Younger to go into the FAR COUNTRY to learn that only in the Father’s house is there peace, life, and sustenance.

So, we all have seen the story of the Prodigal as a picture of US…  However, about six months ago I came to another great understanding of what this story represents, and who these TWO SONS are.

First the cliff notes, Jacob Israel style!

The prodigal story tells the tale of two brothers and a wealthy Father. One brother stays with the Father and endures the trials associated with laboring in the Father’s fields… The other, the younger of the two, goes buck wild, takes his inheritance, and parties like it’s 1999 all over again. The younger, after what must have seemed like the hangover of the century, comes to his senses. After losing everything and being forced to eat the same pig food he fed pigs with he finally decides to return to Dad and beg for Papa’s forgiveness. He finds the Father was actually waiting for him in the field. A picture of how God never takes his eyes off us, and waits patiently for our return… So the younger, gets to his Dad and says “I’ve sinned against you and heaven” the Father doesn’t condemn him, in fact he throws the younger brother a big party… Now if this was an episode of “Intervention” the counselor would not suggest such a thing, we wouldn’t want the younger brother to relapse now would we?… HOWEVER, the celebration is an allegory, as well as the story as  whole. So the Father demands, “KILL THE FATTED CALF, GET HIM A ROBE AND HIS FAVORITE BUNNY SLIPPERS AND PUT A RING ON THAT SKINNY FINGER OF HIS!” – Everyone of these things you’ll learn are symbolic, beside the Bunny Slippers, they are just awesome and comfy cozy… So, we cut to:  Older brother coming back from working the fields… He hears all the hoopla and gets heated, “DAD!!!!!” He says, “I am the best son in the whole wide world and you never threw me a party!”… The older brother’s jealousy seems petty to the reader, instead of being happy for his brother’s return he stomps his feet like a little whiner baby. His Father has to remind him, “All that I have is YOURS.”

So why this parable? … Well, in Luke’s gospel Chapter 15, a bunch of publicans and sinners came near to hear Jesus. (To understand the things of the kingdom)

Luke 15:2: And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.

Them BAD RELIGIOUS loved to condemn the J-man. It’s sad really, when you think the same thing is going on today. Unfortunately, dear old Solomon was right in saying, “There is nothing new under the sun.” Whatever was back then is alive and well today.

The irony is many religious leaders, and devote church goers will in one breath condemn the Pharisees behavior, and then in the other tell you, “You better not get involved with anyone who is NOT A BELIEVER”… This elitism and prejudice is welcome and encouraged in Bad Religion today. NOT in the Kingdom of God I assure you.

Many of the Bad Religious, will even use scripture to justify such behavior… Mind you, they have no clue as what these verses they are quoting really mean. Like the one below.

2 Corinthians 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

Oh sure, at first glance you might think the unbeliever is someone who just doesn’t know God. But,  consider what a Yolk is… A YOLK is a restraint/bondage that is used to CONTROL AN ANIMAL… In this case, the UNBELIEVER would seek to control the BELIEVER… Now, how many people do you know OUTSIDE MAN MADE RELIGION that try and control you with a bunch of nonsense? Not many… You see, the UNBELIEVER in this case, are the BAD RELIGIOUS — Side note Church: when I say “bad religious”, of course I’m not talking about YOU 🙂 … or am I? Just kidding, Jacob loves you as God loves Jacob people!)

So the UNBELIEVERS are the IGNORANT RELIGIOUS TYPES that condemn you and tell you, do this, do that! GROWWWWWWLLLLL! 

The UNBELIEVER here is NOT someone who hasn’t been baptized, or confessed Christ as Lord. The UNBELIEVER is the opposite, the Unbeliever is the Bad Religious person who ignorantly heaps a bunch of traditions, laws, and error on top of you, so you will have no joy in life at all.

The worst of which, is condemning you if say, you fall in love with someone who is not a “Christian.”

Now, listen Church, if you look at people as saved and unsaved you have missed the message of the gospel! So catch it now!

Peter worried that he couldn’t hang with those who were outside the faith. God gave him a vision, and rebuked him. Peter was all like… “No God, nothing unclean has ever touched my lips!” — MEATHEAD! Think about it, God says, KILL AND EAT and Peter is like, NAH! I don’t eat that stuff, meanwhile you know darn well, Peter was going back for seconds and thirds at the Bacon Buffet right before Paul called him out… Mmmmnn Bacon is GOOOOD!

Anyway, God whacks Peter upside the head with a vision. All the beasts, insects, basically everything and everyone God created, and God says to him…  Acts 10:15 And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.

He then goes on to explain… “God is no respecter of persons” – You see God doesn’t esteem one better than another, like Man does. 

But now I’m about to throw all of you a curve ball… You’ll find, what is good for the goose is good for the gander, whatever the heck a gander is! (Just Kidding, being the gooseologist I am, I know full well what a Gander is) but that has nothing to do with this essay here. 

What I mean is, if God doesn’t think higher of Pharisees than others, than he doesn’t think higher of the “others” than he does the Pharisees.

You’ll find at the end of this study, the Prodigal returning has more to do with the Bad Religious Pharisee types than it does with those who have come to the knowledge of the truth after being ignorant of it.

I want to really hammer this point home, God does NOT want us to stay away from people who do not know “Jesus”… Obviously, Jesus hung out with, ate, and drank with, sinners and publicans and we are cut from the same cloth. God wants us to accept, love, forgive, and guide all the people of the world…

But we are warned not to be UNEQUALLY YOKED with the laws and false beliefs of the Pharisees of the day.

So marry who you want to marry, just make sure you love each other. And when someone asks you, “Is the person you are dating a believer?” tell them, ZIP IT YOU! … Just because a person doesn’t belong to your local man-made church, does not mean they are not a believer. A person who loves and does not condemn, who forgives and accepts is more a believer, that someone who tithes, goes to church, helps with the annual food drive, etc, and has not love.

Romans 2:14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves

You see, although many would have you to believe that YOU somehow have to allow Jesus to enter your heart, (As if he is somewhere out there beyond the mikyway waiting for YOUR INVITATION)… Listen up, Christ is the LIFE in you already. Christ is the LIFE and LIGHT of all men, which shines in darkness. Even those who do not understand this LIFE, can unwittingly share the love of Christ with others, as Christ is their LIFE FORCE to begin with. Paul understood this, which is why he wrote about it, in Romans chapter 2.

Romans 2:15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness…

God has a new covenant with us today. He is writing the law on our hearts. All will know God the scriptures say. If only more believed this. Now I know what you’re saying… But Jacob, DON’T WE NEED TO ACCEPT CHRIST AS OUR LORD! … What do you think?

Christ is the TRUTH AND THE ONLY WAY to the FATHER… If you don’t UNDERSTAND and SUBMIT TO CHRIST you will NEVER BE FREE! So yes, if you don’t believe on the NAME (nature) Jesus (God’s Truth/Salvation Revealed in Man) than how could you ever be free? … Think about it! So yes, I believe without a shadow of a doubt that WE MUST and WILL! That’s good news people, spread it! 

Back to our Prodigal story.

So the Mean Religious Leaders of Jesus’ day had a problem with Jesus hanging with what they considered the dregs of society…

Luke 2:3 And he spake this parable unto them, saying, What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?

You see, Jesus (The TRUTH/WORD of God revealed as MAN) does not lose ONE of those the Father gave him to save. “out of all you have given me Father, I have lost not one.” – the only one lost is the SON OF PERDITION (the carnal nature of man) –

The Pharisees did not believe God would save EVERYONE. But here Jesus is showing them, with worldly things, how God is better than man, as man would go after one of his lost sheep, God will go after all who have gone astray…

Now if people believed this, than they would stop looking at others as saved and unsaved. They would understand, that those people, who at the moment seem so far from God, will eventually be FOUND AGAIN.

Which brings us to the Prodigal story.

(For those who have not read it, here it is below. For those who know it, SCROLL PAST AND CONTINUE ON.)

 11And he said, A certain man had two sons:  12And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living.  13And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.  14And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.  15And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.  16And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.  17And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!  18I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,  19And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.  20And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.  21And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.  22But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:  23And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry:  24For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.  25Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard music and dancing.  26And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.  27And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.  28And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him.  29And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:  30But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.  31And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine.  32It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.

It has been taught that this is the story of US. How we are the prodigal that finally returned home…  And the Church says, WE KNOW JACOB, YOU’VE SAID THAT ALREADY…  Settle down people, I’m getting there.

So we’ve been taught, it’s about US (the remnant) …  But I tell you, NAY! (Don’t you love how some people break out the old English to sound all spiritual and such…)

NAY!!!!! I SAY, TODAY, WISHING IT WAS MAY, SO I CAN GO OUTSIDE AND PLAY, IN THE HAY! <— Too far?

No!!!! It’s NOT ABOUT THE REMNANT! It’s NOT ABOUT THE FIRST FRUIT, or FIRST STRIPE, or FRUITSTRIPE GUM.

You’ll soon see, the Prodigal is actually those BAD RELIGIOUS LEADERS. The PRODIGAL are the PHARISEES, the ones we all love to condemn… WHAT? Did I just write that? YES! I did.

Many of you, who have come to this page, have probably had your unhealthy share of condemnation for your differing beliefs. But did you ever stop to think about how far down your nose, you look at those BAD RELIGIOUS LEADER TYPES?… I have, and if you’ve seen my Publicity Shot, you know, My Nose is a BIG ONE to look down! …

So, if you  see the Pharisees of today in a negative light, as I did (Until the parable of the Prodigal become clear to me). Then you may change your tune after reading the rest of this article.

Let us remember, God is no respecter of persons. He does not think higher of one than another. This is why Jesus said on the cross, “Forgive them Father, they know not what they do.”

A child who can’t read isn’t condemned for not knowing how. The child is loved and encouraged and taught. The same is true, for all of God’s creation. The Pharisees included.

We cannot think higher of ourselves, just because we have a grander view of God’s plan. We cannot condemn those who we seem to be charlatans or fear mongers, even if they put Plastic Gold Confetti in their hair and tell everyone that God is pouring out his spirit as Gold Dust, or even if, the Pharisees say, God told me to kick him square in the gut to cure his cancer, (Which one of these KNUCKLEHEADS did.) Look, we can’t look down on them, because their total meatheads who haven’t had the truth revealed to them yet. We have to roll the way Jesus rolls, when looking at others who are ignorant and in SIN (error/foolish thinking)

Luke 7:31 And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like? They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another, and saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept.They are like kids, they are IMMATURE, they are the YOUNGER SON, they don’t know any better. So even though, in a round about way, I am sort of mocking the SIGNS AND WONDERS BRIGADE, I really have not animosity toward them. They are my YOUNGER BROTHER after all, and THEY WILL RETURN! 

Just because their ways are false. We have to stop being like the OLDER BROTHER who is whining and complaining and carrying on when the younger brother finally comes home from whoring around and feeding the pigs. All you pastors of The Way know, deep down, you just WISH YOUR CONGREGATION was as big as the Prophets of Baal today… You’re all working those fields, tired, weary, persecuted, struggling to get by, then when the Big day comes, we find out the Prophets of Baal realized their mistake, they humbled themselves before God and God says, LET’S ROCK N ROLL!

 I used to look at some of these big name healers and preachers in such a negative light. I saw them taking advantage of so many people who truly needed to hear the things of God. There was a part of me, that thought I was better than them. Perhaps, there still is a remnant of this pride in me. FATHER REMOVE IT, but keep my wicked sense of humor in tact! Today, I admit, I still can’t stomach to hear things that I know are not true. But like Jesus, we must not condemn and hate those who are merely ignorant of the truth. As they are blind for a moment.

Romans 11:25: For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.  26And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:  27For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.

Paul understood this as well. He was telling those who understood the truth, “Don’t think you’re any better, just because right now they can’t understand what you understand. God has done this, so he could have mercy on all… ALL WILL BE SAVED, when God takes away their sin.”

Even the mean old Pharisees, will have their SIN (foolish ignorant thoughts) ripped away and will be “brought to the knowledge of the truth.”

So, truly, this Prodigal Story is about those who may be, right now, fleecing the flock. They are the YOUNGER BROTHER who took the money and ran. Don’t believe me? Well keep reading, ye of little belief!

Let’s rip each verse apart, and see what falls out.

13And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living

A younger son is not as MATURE as the older. This is symbolic of understanding. The Younger does not have the experiential wisdom of the older. So we see that the YOUNGER is a picture of someone not as mature in the faith.

This SON (as we are all children of God) took his journey into a FAR COUNTRY, Symbolic of being far from the Truth. LEAVING THE KINGDOM OF GOD as depicted in Jesus’ parable of the man who went into a Far Country and almost lost his property in the process.

1 Kings 8:41 Moreover concerning a stranger, that is not of thy people Israel, but cometh out of a far country for thy name’s sake.

So the IMMATURE in the Faith, leave the TRUTH of God, for RIOTOUS living. And what is this symbolic of?

 2 Peter 2:12-14 But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption; And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceiving while they feast with you; Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:

Here we see those that spend their time on RIOTOUS LIVING are actually those TEACHING LIES and deceiving people. They claim the truth of God yet only teach COVETOUS PRACTICES… Does that sound like any PHARISEES we know?

 14And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.

The FAMINE is symbolic of a lack of TRUTH. You see,  In Babylon you don’t get much Fruit, Meat, or Milk… but I hear they have a mean rice pilaf! Okay, of course, the famine in the land, means there is NO TRUTH.  One day, even these Religious leaders who have left the truth of God to teach lies, will find out how VAIN their beliefs and traditions are.

The FAMINE in the land has always been a symbol of Carnal Man coming to his senses and going to God to be fed.

15And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.  16And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him

Notice, how the YOUNGER BROTHER fed the SWINE. PIGS have always been a symbol of man’s ignorance and dangerous beliefs. PIGS will eat anything you feed them. This is why the LAW forbid the consumption of pork. Not because literal pigs are the devil, but because it is a SYMBOL of NOT BECOMING ONE with IGNORANCE. Also, a Pig Doesn’t have  A CLOVEN (separated) HOOF! Symbolic of not having a SEPARATE WALK from the world.

The YOUNGER BROTHER (the immature deceiver who left the truth/kingdom of God) is seen FEEDING these swine. It is easy to see, that the YOUNGER BROTHER is an allegory of the PHARISEES who are feeding the IGNORANT a steady diet of whatever SLOP (lies/error/vanity/bondage) they want.

17And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!  

What a great line… WHEN HE CAME TO HIMSELF – For those that can receive it, this means “when HE understands who HE is!” = “Christ IN You” … When he REMEMBERS AND UNDERSTANDS he is a SON OF GOD, he will want to return to Daddy!

When this YOUNGER SON came to his RIGHT MIND (The mind of Christ), he understood, that in his FATHER’S HOUSE there is enough BREAD (truth) and without the TRUTH he is as good as dead (CARNAL).

When you look at this parable through different eyes, it is easy to see, that the YOUNGER BROTHER are the RELIGIOUS ELITE who are IGNORANT today. And the OLDER BROTHER are those God has quickened to understand the Truth, and that may be YOU FRIEND OF MINE READING RIGHT NOW… That is of course, if you made it this far… Glad you’re still with me.

Now, I know, I have been guilty of condemning people who teach lies in the past. Nevertheless, when I understood that I was being like the OLDER BROTHER and condemning my YOUNGER BROTHER (immature religious leader/deceiver) for the ignorance of his ways… I repented.

I understood that it doesn’t matter if I have held the truth longer, and endured persecution by these Religious Pharisees.

How could I say to God, who loves all and is NO RESPECTER of persons… “DAD, HOW CAN YOU THROW A PARTY FOR HIS RETURN?”

One day, even those who are the most lost, and most destructive in the world, will come to understand how bankrupt they are without CHRIST. They, like the Younger Son, will feel that they are not worthy to return to God after they have wasted their inheritance on HARLOTS (Lies/Idolatry) …

However, when they return, and THE PRODIGALS WILL RETURN… God is waiting with open arms.

So, for all you OLDER SONS and DAUGHTERS out there that are suffering the heat of the day. Pray for your Younger brothers return and Thank God, because ALL THAT GOD HAS IS YOURS, AND YOURS IS HIS…

Stop talking bad about them, stop thinking bad about them, and stop hating them… Don’t be hating Church, just  FORGIVE THEM FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO!

Peace Jacob
