The Eternal Word and the Begotten Son
(a biblical exposé of "the Holy Trinity" doctrine - Part Two)
Sons eternal or sons begotten?
The eternal Word and the begotten Son ... no doubt two different
functions! One is eternal and the other being birthed in time,
but the same person and same God nevertheless!
Following up on my treatise
"The Three Witnesses of Jesus", an
interesting situation has arisen from those who oppose my stance
claiming the three witnesses in 1 John 5:7 are in reference to the
divinity of Jesus and are not an endorsement from God to "the Holy
Trinity" tradition of Christendom at all (a verse removed or in
controversy
with modern bible versions). This situation has come as a protest
from those who believe that a 'son' biblically can be 'a
son' eternally, without the process of being begotten, conception or
birth. There
lies the great debate ... what makes 'a son' qualify to be 'a
son', scripturally speaking, as well as in general terms? Simplified (three as one and the same):
God ... eternal. Without beginning and end.
Son ... begotten. Conception, birth, then growing in stature.
Jesus ... both of the above.
Therefore, at this point in time I would like us to go to Genesis six
in
regards to the "sons of God" controversy, because here lies the crux of
the whole issue to whether 'a son' is 'a son' without conception and
birth. If it is proven to be true that 'a son' in scripture can
only be 'a son' through conception and birth, then you see the whole
doctrine of "the Most Holy Trinity" which Christendom in general agrees
to, being shaken to its very foundations by one clean sweep.
Therefore, as
students of the Bible and followers of Christ, is it essential that
we look fully into this issue and allow scripture to speak and prove
which doctrine is from God. The doctrine this website supports is
emphatic that 'a son' has to be part of a maturity process from being
begotten, to conception, to birth and beyond, as opposed to 'a son'
being qualified 'a son' without being begotten, and with the absence of
the conception and birth process. Moreover, without biblical
support apart from two (misconstrued) references in Genesis six and the
passage bridging Job one and two. For those of you who wish to
look at this in more detail I deal with this extensively in my treatise called
"Giants, Angels and the Sons of God".
On this page you will see clearly from scripture that 'a son' cannot be
'a son' unless it is growing into manhood from conception; thus
rendering the "sons of God" fable (sons being angels not men) just that ... a fable!
Here is the issue: Firstly, is it scriptural to call angels sons (in any form) when they have
not experienced birth and childhood? Secondly, if angels are not sons (in any form) because they have
not experienced birth and childhood, then can the eternal Word (the Lord Jesus Christ) be called "the Son" previously
before having been begotten, and
before His conception and birth, outside the sure word of prophecy?
Let's summarize these points raised for the sake of clarity and we will
come back to the 'eternal son' concept later in regards to Jesus and the
Trinity aspect:
Can an angel be called 'a son' in any sense of the word? Especially when angels
don't have gender,
cannot engage in sexual intercourse,
cannot procreate, and when
only two of kind
on earth can reproduce according to Genesis 1:11-25!
Or putting it in other words:
Can an angel be called 'a son' in any sense of the word when it has
not
been physically conceived or born but created; is not a sexual flesh and
blood creature; has not experienced childhood or growing into an adult
angel, or when God has placed a limit on His creation that only two of
a kind can reproduce?
Now I would like to make some factual statements. Actually
... scriptural statements, which will be fully backed up later
from the written word of God: The difference between angels
and man is in origin, function,
and
location. They are not the same species. They are not two of one
kind like man and woman, male and female. One is earth bound while the
other is angelic. One is physical while the other is
spiritual. One has opposite genders while the other has only one. We must also
remember what Jesus said in John 3:6, which is of utmost importance here:
"That which is born of the
flesh
is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit."
Additionally, and with regards to angels mingling their so-called seed with man,
according to the Nephilim theory from the Apocrypha, apparently relating to Genesis six (being extra
biblical commentary supported by the modern versions), how
can what is flesh be born from what is spirit? Jesus said it
simply
could not be done. Should this not be the end of the story and
put to rest the unscriptural gibberish we have been confronted with by
twisting a couple of verses to prove the rest of the Bible does not
mean what it says? As only two of a kind can bred, it is therefore impossible for angels
and
humans to breed together. Only man has been created with a seed
to
procreate and multiply (created as one individual), not angels, who
were
no doubt created en masse and not to procreate (Heb. 1:7).
Here is indisputable proof from Nehemiah 9:6 that God made angels (the
host of heaven) en masse. Understanding He made the things of the
earth in two (male and female) just as the new world was once again re
populated in twos ... male and female (Gen. 6:19):
"Thou, even thou, art LORD alone (ONE person - not two or three); thou hast made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host,
the earth, and all things that are therein, the seas, and all that is
therein, and thou preservest them all; and the host of heaven
worshippeth thee (not them)."
Mankind was created as just one individual man and one individual woman (Gen. 5:2) to populate the
earth with
gender and reproductive ability to go forth and multiply and have
dominion
over the earth. That's under their Maker! In contrast, angels were
created en masse with no need for
reproductive
organs, functions or gender. Furthermore, angels are likened to stars in the
Bible. Look up into the masses in the sky at night. Can you
count stars? "Science falsely so called" says even the physical
stars were birthed. My Bible says they were created (Gen.
1:16) just as angels were. The angels never experienced childhood, and
therefore cannot
be called children
... that's sons or daughters of God! They have
never
experienced redemption and can never experience adoption either.
Only
children
can! Their function and purpose is totally different. Also,
because man can be redeemed unlike fallen angels (fallen stars), he can
be adopted
into a family. And those who become sons of God are those who
have been adopted into God's family. Angels cannot ever be
adopted because firstly, they are not born as sons but created en
masse. Whereas secondly, they never get a second chance;
redemption is not and was never purposed for them!
Simple and brief summery:
Stars are some times symbolic of angels in
scripture, as they too were made en masse as lights in the heavens and never conceived or birthed, as they
can never reproduce offspring, as they were never designed, destined or created to do so!
Man was created on the earth as a man and a woman as two of a kind, which can produce offspring!
Here's the
evidence to back the claims that angels are not born sons nor
children. You will see there is simply not one verse to claim an angel being 'a son'
or 'a child':
Ps. 82:6 ...
"and all of you are children
of the most
High
(sons and daughters of God)."
Deut. 14:1. "Ye are the
children
of the LORD your God (that's
saints not taints!)"
Ho. 1:10. "Yet
the number of the
children of Israel shall be as
the sand of the sea (in the future through reproduction and the principle of multiplication), which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it
shall
come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not
my people, there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons
of the living God".
Unequivocally,
irrefutable, wouldn't you
say!? Men, not
spiritual
beings, are referred to as the sons of God in the Old Testament. Never, never, angels!
Is 43:6. "I
will say to the north,
Give up; and to the south,
Keep
not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from
the
ends of the earth (nothing to do with the sons of God coming down
from
heaven)."
Now we will go through
to the New Testament and see a new
criterion but always remaining consistent to whom the children or sons of God always are throughout scripture:
Gal.
3:26. "For ye are all the
children of God by
faith in Christ Jesus."
Only those who have
been grafted into
Christ, becoming part of the
seed
lineage, can be named "children of God", post Old Testament.
John 1:12. "But
as many as received
him (that's Christ), to them gave he
power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe
on
his name"
Then once in heaven, the adopted sons
of God (Christians) become
like the angels (not angels but like angels) who cannot produce offspring or have sons, or
daughters, or families. This is in direct contrast to those
religionists who do err not knowing the scriptures, by building
doctrines on either tradition or presumption, as in the case
of Matthew 22:29-30. Jesus is speaking to the deceived
religionists here:
"Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage (can't be reproduced through marriage), but are as the angels of God in heaven (not "as the sons of God" - they are the sons of God! - now glorified with new angelic type bodies).
There we have it! We are sons of men on earth through
procreation and birth ("given in marriage"), then become the sons of God through rebirth and
adoption, then enter heaven (putting on our new bodies) being like the angels because they are not
the same creation who were created with the purpose and function to
procreate.
Luke 20:36.
"Neither can they (the redeemed) die any
more: for they are equal
unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the
children
of the resurrection"
In the resurrection we will be equal
to the angels (as or like
angels) but not angels. We are the children of
God and we are the children of the resurrection. Angels
cannot experience the resurrection (they are either with God or
damned). Nor can they experience adoption for that matter (because they are not
children nor can be redeemed),
and therefore they do not qualify to be called children of God.
Moreover, because they cannot be called children of God this covers
them not being called sons of God either.
Repeating again ... angels are not the
children
of the resurrection and are therefore not
the children of God through birth nor the adopted children of God either!
Just
angels! Therefore, it should be utterly and totally clear that
angels are created different and that was to minister to God or be messengers
of God. Whereas man was created to go forth and multiply
(procreate). Two different calls and two different functions!
The doctrine of 'eternal sons' and 'the Trinity' connection debunked once and for all
Now with this
established that angels are not men, but angels; having never
experienced conception or birth, therefore they do not qualify in any
way to be called sons. Nor with any scriptural evidence to prove the
contrary, this opens up a whole new understanding for those who are
seeking the truth of God's word. Did you get that ... this
opens up a whole different and new place of understanding when one
wants to trust the word of God and not the words of men? Hence,
we can no longer ignore the position and status of Jesus being the only
begotten Son of God AFTER conception and birth as well of its biblical
ramifications. Take this next verse f'instance:
Heb. 2:16. "For verily he took not
on him the nature
of
angels;
but he took on him the seed of Abraham."
Looks like a
huge
difference to me! Jesus NEVER took on the nature of angels
by coming down to earth as the manchild. In the Old Testament He
came as the angel of the Lord but in the New Testament He takes
on the seed of Abraham, a
man, and becomes lower than the angels in this instance ... "who
was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death
(Heb. 2:9)"! The nature of angels and the seed of Abraham being
two
distinct things. Angels don't have families to bring up whereas
Abraham had a family. He was also begotten (Gen. 11:26). He
also had a time of conception and a time of birth. And those that
are adopted into this family
are known as sons of Abraham. A picture of the sons of God in
God's promised family.
Quick summary in the levels of glory (never equality or coequally):
Jesus in the OT as God almighty, the
Spirit no man can see, manifests Himself (comes in the form of) an
angel (Gen. 18:3)! Above man! Never a son!
Next He comes in the flesh as a man and making Himself lower than the
angels (Heb. 2:7). On mans level this time! Born of a
woman! As the Son of God this time!
Furthermore, after the resurrection He is glorified above the angels
(Heb. 1:4). His inheritance as the faithful Son of God now King
of Kings and Lord of lords! Above man and angels!
Therefore, Jesus is found at various levels due to His humility,
His taking on humanity, and glorification. But never as one
consistent, coexistent, coequal, eternal, God the Son, always of the
same equal substance (whatever that means), the second Person only of
the Godhead, always within the ongoing so-called Trinity.
There is also no symbolic pictures or typology or shadows in scripture
portraying angels as sons either. Only of the sons of men and those who
get adopted into God's family. Therefore, we must have turned
over about every stone and have conclusively found that sons have to be
begotten, conceived and born to be sons. Jesus could not have
become the firstborn of many brethren, nor become a son in any sense of
the word either, unless the prophesied Word become flesh, was born of a
woman, was born in the likeness of sinful flesh, and was born as "the
firstborn
among many brethren".
Adam was
a son of God. The seed lineage recorded back to Adam were sons of God also (Luke 3: 23-38).
Jesus, the second Adam, became
the Son of man born into this
lineage. Because He was conceived of the Holy Ghost, born of a virgin, and came
from heaven, this was the eternal Word becoming flesh ... Jesus
the only begotten Son of God. Thus, this is a true statement
... Jesus is not only the ETERNAL Word but also now the BEGOTTEN Son! Two
different functions, but the same person and the same God. Hence, the title of this treatise!
In conclusion, what does this tell us here? Quite plainly, there
was and is no coequal God the Son existing eternally in the Godhead as
a second person of a Trinity. Jesus is God the Creator,
the everlasting Father, from the beginning to end, and not the Son of
God until He was born of a woman. Or there is no reason for a son to be
begotten, conceived, born, and experience growing in statue.
Jesus did all these things to qualify to be called a Son ...
Psalms 2:7:
"I will declare
the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son;
this day have I begotten thee."
"Thou art my Son;
(because) this day have I begotten thee"! Because He was begotten, it could be said of
this day He become the Son.
Fulfilled in Acts 13:33 and Hebrews 1:5, as well as Hebrews 5:5
(there's those three witnesses again confirming the truth):
"Thou art my Son,
to day have I begotten thee."
Why His Son? Because He was begotten on that day! There had
to be a day. Followed by this statement which could now be made a
reality:
"
I will (future tense) be to him a Father, and
he shall (future tense) be to me a Son?"
This never happened before. Meaning, Jesus could not have been a Son to
the Father before. This cancels out the so-called eternal
coexisting Sonship of the eternal Trinity, creating a huge flaw
in its theology, and therefore rendering the Trinity unbiblical and a very subtle way to undermine the divinity of Jesus.
Always God but not always the Son - Always God but never three people
Even the full name the
Lord Jesus
Christ is the threefold witness in itself.
Lord ... The highest authority - God
Jesus ... The Word become flesh - God as man
Christ ... The fulfilment of this promise - the anointed one from God
All God and all the same person!
Hey, here's a great thought a brother has just pointed out found (it is great to break bread one to another!) in this
verse (2 Cor. 13:1) in regards to God's threefold witness to Jesus and
in regards to the threefold cord (or equilateral triangle) that cannot be broken:
"This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established."
Paul was going to make a third visit to the brethren here and he is
actually using the scriptural principle of the three-tier witness to
confirm and reinforce what he was saying as being true. Was Paul
coming as three distinct persons or three distinct personalities or
characters? No way! It was Paul making his third visit,
being the same bloke and same brother and same person. Paul was
saying that by the fact of his THREE appearances coming to reprove this
local church, this was decreed as a 'three witness' biblical principle. This proves without a
shadow of a doubt that Jesus coming as either two or three witnesses
constituted to Him still being the same one person as Paul was in this case.
Using tripartite man as proof of a tripartite God - is this sensible and scriptural?
Therefore, looking again at God's three-tier principle (or
equilateral triangle, so to speak) it is a very poor
and flimsy comparison when using it alongside mans pseudo
substitute. This is because this threefold chord is
both
a full proof and watertight reality, whereby mans triangle is imperfect
and
incomplete. Just like anything man does, from religion to man's
numbering
system, it is flawed with nothing but shortcuts, shortfalls, and
milking the commoners for the
benefit of control outside of God. Of course religion (man's
substitute for God) and Mammon
(the god of finance) always go together, along with politics (the means
to get there - or the end justified by the means) completing this third
tiered
chord outside of God.
One of the great justifications of the Holy Trinity doctrine is the way
the verse "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness" has been
misconstrued. Because God is viewed by Trinitarians as "three but
one" (a bit like the Three Musketeers - "all
for
one and one for all"), they have manufactured a principle saying "as
God is three, He has
made man after His own image as three" also. These three being, by the way,
mans makeup of "body, soul and spirit"!
That's right ... another feeble and poor comparison if we can
call it a comparison in any sense of the word. For a start,
before God became man He was Spirit of whom no man could look
upon. Therefore, how does this relate to one person being made up
of three separate parts and not separate persons? Getting back to
the great adventures of "the Three Musketeers" ... these fictitious
characters were three separate
persons, not
parts, it must be pointed out. While they were
certainly not the same person, although they claimed to be one in mind
and spirit, and in (good entertaining) story
form.
Have you now got it? You as an individual,
one and the same
person only, but existing in three different parts, is being used by
religious teachers as a "clever" reason and proof the Trinity exists as
three people.
How can three parts of one person equal and be the same as three
distinct people? Just plain crazy man! This stupid teaching
(which I have now come to see) that man was made in God's image because
God is three and
He made the individual man as three parts also (body, soul and spirit)
apparently like Himself, has opened the door for all sorts of
innuendoes and
parallels coming from the occult to mysticism. This
is man spiritually or mystically bridging man
incidentally, with his triune god match. It is also the reason
why the Triangle and
the Star image play a big role in the occult and religious practice but
are absolutely
forbidden by God as a religious item. Can you now see why?
Let's go further:
Old Testament - Ex. 20:4:
"Thou shalt
not make unto thee any graven image, or
any likeness of
any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth".
New Testament - Acts 17: 29:
"Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God,
we ought not to think that the
Godhead is
like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device."
Confirming mans (God given) brilliance and creativity in perverting
these things by cleverly and artfully constructing and fashioning his
own image
of God or deity. Also, using or adding bling and glitter (gold,
silver
and stone) to razzle-dazzle and impress.
Next verse, following on as verse 30 (very important and appropriate here):
"And the times of
this ignorance
(man inventing religious images as religious devices) God
winked at
(turned a blind eye); but
now commandeth
all men every where to repent"!
Therefore, God disapproves very much in the way man has perverted the
Godhead and made it in the image of man for man, uniting it with man,
while God has made
provision for forgiveness and salvation through the cross (the
significance and reality of why Jesus came as Saviour and
Redeemer). While the command from God is to repent, man ignores
(apart from a few) the call and manufactures a substitute as a excuse,
or reason, to keep God out of the picture.

Reminder: Called
figures in Acts 7:43 ...
(statues, images, icons, symbols, ensigns, emblems, representations) "which ye made to worship them".
Taken from a Jewish Orthodox internet
website:
"The Magen David (shield of David, or as it is more commonly known,
the Star of David) is the symbol most commonly associated with Judaism today,
but it is actually a relatively new Jewish symbol. It is supposed to represent
the shape of King David's shield (or perhaps the emblem on it), but there
is really no support for that claim in any early rabbinic literature. In
fact, the symbol is so rare in early Jewish literature and artwork that art
dealers suspect forgery if they find the symbol in early Jewish works."
NB: In order for you not to think that I have an infatuation in
exposing triangles and pentagrams, allow me to let you know the same
principle applies with other symbols, including "the sign of the
cross". This is irrespective of whether the cross comes as just a
plain simple cross or whether it comes in various shapes and
forms. They are all Babylonian in origin anyway. The
upright pole or stake representing the God part and the cross beam
representing the man part, mean nothing to a believer if the cross is
just a
religious emblem. This also covers fishes, doves, rainbows, or
any other so-called Christian image. The Bible is very clear
that the children of the light are to be and appear different than the
children of disobedience. Jer. 10:2:
"Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen".
As far as the image of the Triangle and Star go, the Christ Mass
tradition plays a major role and adds "justified" impetus to the "Holy
Trinity" theology. F'instance, where did the X Mass tree
originate from? It has nothing to do with Christ that's for sure! Also,
God's people in the Old Testament were clearly warned against importing
or borrowing heathen objects, practices and customs from the heathen:
In honour of the dead tree with God's children having back slidden,
returning again to idolatry ...
Jer. 10:3-4. In Christendom the pine
or fir tree is the tree chosen for veneration as it is in the.....
shape of
a triangle symbolic of the Trinity and supposed new beginnings (resurrection)...............
Is Christmas time really as innocent as it appears? Luke warm Christians continually justify the tree
....
and the false day and venerating 'another Jesus' behind a light-hearted, happytime charade. As if God
remains indifferent and not the same jealous God today and forever, without a shadow of turning:
.......
"For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of
the forest, the work of the hands
of the workman, with the axe. They
deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with
hammers, that it move not."..............................................................................................................
Nominals use this tree as a christianized pagan (there's that oxymoron again) decoration to................
commemorate Jesus' socalled birthday! While Christendom justifies it, Bible believers cannot............
Here's those three biblical witnesses
again, in the words of Paul, acting as an indictment against
converting, celebrating or embracing anything worldly, heathen or pagan
(2 Cor. 11: 2-4):
"For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy (yes, God is still a jealous God and desires godliness): for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ (free from mixture, leaven and playing the good "Christian" flirt). But I fear (looks like very serious stuff), lest by any means (yes, it says any means), as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. For if he that cometh preacheth (1) another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive (2) another spirit, which ye have not received, or (3) another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him."
Christ Mass is nothing to do with the Jesus of scripture. Nor is
to do with the Spirit of truth. Nor is it anything to do with the
gospel ... the cross! It is in effect another Jesus,
another spirit, and another gospel (a trinity). In other words
... it
is a mixture which God detests immensely. Would you disagree that
it is a
mixture? If one can discern the fallacy behind the Holy Trinity
doctrine then one is on the road to seeing the fallacy behind
Christmas. On the other hand, if the world wants to celebrate
this occasion, then that is up to them. They are already deceived
anyway. If you want to join hands with the world, then do it, and
don't say you weren't warned! Moreover, if you want to take it
further and place it
on other believers then you could be in more serious trouble.
E'nuff said!
Following on from Jer. 10: 3-4 see verse 5: "They (the decked tree) are upright as the palm tree, but speak not".
Also, see the three palm trees in the background above?
Christendom's tradition says "the three wise men" (not found in scripture) are symbolic of the
Trinity, again justifying christianized..
paganism (another oxymoron). On much religious artwork the Trinity is depicted by an old man
(representing God the Father),...
an effeminate (representing God the Holy Spirit), and a young man (representing God the Son). Does God grow
old; is the Spirit
really effeminate; and does the Son stay eternally youthful? Serious flaws in this concept I must say, as if the Godhead
consists of
"three natures". Even "three persons"! Or even "three personalities"! But don't ever say "three God's"! Definitely not three equals
in substance acting and portrayed as one God somehow!............................................................................................................
(or religion as opposed to reality)
The children of light belong to the kingdom of light (obviously),
which "cometh not
with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for,
behold, the kingdom of God is within you." No banners, emblems,
or outward display; nor marketing, advertising, or promotion necessary
in this
department! Nor bling, glitter or razzle-dazzle for that
matter! In contrast to 2 Kings 17:15:
"And they rejected his statutes, and his covenant that he made with
their fathers, and his testimonies which he testified against them; and
they followed vanity
(the importance of appearance, display and making an impression), and became vain, and went after the heathen that
were round about them, concerning whom the LORD had charged them, that
they should
not do like them."
Then over into the New Testament the criterion goes even beyond the outward
and sinks heart deep, nailing the truth there, as we are instructed to, according to 2 Cor. 10:5:
"Casting down imaginations
(schemes, fancies, and false images), and every high thing
(conceit, puffed up thinking, high mindedness and self achievement) that
exalteth itself
against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought
to the obedience of Christ".
Moreover, whether it's 'the yin and the yen', 'positivity and
negativity', 'light and darkness', 'good and evil', 'male and female',
'hot and
cold' being representative (or the other way around); or whatever a
symbol
portrays
mystically or spiritually; it is darkness at work nevertheless, hiding
behind false light. Even if it is found on a flag or a banner of
a
country or regime, as a
double meaning insignia from a crescent to a cross, or whatever.
Or hiding behind patriotic fervour, zestful nostalgia, or valued
tradition. The fact is, it is manifesting itself as a seal to
what
spirit is behind its function, using clandestine disguises. Also,
working behind dual or more
meanings. Or double or multi interpretations for that
matter. The Trinity
being
the neatest and tidiest 'packaged presentation' of all.
In great
contrast, God does not talk with a
forked tongue, use clandestine tactics, nor work undercover ... Like coming stealthily to
mimic,
counterfeit, or use a fake parallel. This is because God is not the author of
confusion, lies, duplication, contradiction or bewilderment, but does things
orderly
and out in the light.
Eph. 5:13. "But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the
light: for
whatsoever doth make manifest is
light."
Leading up to and in the days of Jesus of Nazareth ... in the
temple they were selling doves and other animals for religious
rites in this case. In John 2:16 Jesus "said unto them that
sold
doves,
Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of
merchandise."
In Christendom today, the religionists have become more slick and
sophisticated about they way they market their ware. Instead of
selling live animals for rituals in the
temple, they sell image commodities for rituals and decorations at the
back of the
church auditorium or in church bookstores (no smelly droppings or the
stale stench of urinated hay or sweaty beasts in this department - with
the obvious presence of creepy crawlys or vermin). Instead of
selling
live doves they
now sell doves in the form of jewellery, pictures and ornaments.
How
clever! The same thing for the same reasons, but better packaged
and
more attractively presented, and up with the New Millennium.
However, at the end of the day, whatever the excuse, or whatever the
reason, or whatever the motive ... in God's eyes it is nothing
more than making God's house into a house of merchandise.
Something He does not take too kindly to. Especially when it goes
into the realms of being mastered in the art of selling one's anointing
or selling the truth, and whether it is articulated and presented on
DVD or
paperback form, or as a mobile church ministry. After all,
you can do anything in Jesus name you know! But what counts at
the end of the day is ... does that which is done in His name happen to
line up with the written word? Is it scriptural, in other
words? No, not one iota!
Images, names and numbers
As far as symbolism and numerical meanings go in scripture, Revelation
13:18 says, "Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding
count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man".
From this verse we see plainly that a man biblically has a number.
Furthermore, from 13:17, 14:11, 16:2 and 19:20 we see that there is a
beast with a 'name', a 'mark' (symbol, sign, image), and a 'number' also.
Let's read Rev. 13:18 again and take it further:
"Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count (work out/add up its significance numerically) the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man".
Now here we should understand that not only is this set-up and number being what is
refereed to as the beast, but it is
also of a
man. From Revelation 11:7 we see that this beast
comes
from out of the bottomless pit and
is aligned with the Dragon (Satan) along with having an image
(13:4,14,15). The man is someone on earth no doubt. Being a
man in total contrast to the man Christ Jesus. A man
Satan will enter as he did with the previous son of perdition called
Judas, and go against the most High.
This is where we also see a blatant satanic trinity emerge
which the world is
forced to worship ... the Devil, the beast, and the false prophet! Also, it connects from what comes from below to
what is
on earth ... a man! Who has wisdom and who has
understanding? This wisdom is only from above, imparted to His
remnant from the Holy Ghost. Reserved for those who only hunger and
thirst after
the true and living God, found only through the man Jesus.
In the kingdom of God "wisdom is the principle thing" according to
Proverbs 4:7. Furthermore, and moving onto Proverbs 9:10, we see that
the "fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom". Therefore,
because we fear God we place His kingdom first before anything else and rely on His Spirit
to move, live and have our being. Always keeping short accounts
with God, and depending on Him in all things, from supply to our
everyday needs.
In the kingdom of
men, however, things are entirely different, as money is the principle
thing. Because without it, one cannot
function in the natural sense. It is therefore the reason why such importance is placed
on
personal achievement and success, with that dirty word 'greed' finding
occasion and coming in many guises, even
with plausible reasons. Bottom line ... without money the world would
cease to function and the system would fall flat on its face overnight:
Ecc. 10:19. "A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all things."
In contrast to this we have the kingdom of God that does not come
with
outward observation (signs, symbols, and images) and where promotion "cometh neither from the east,
nor from the west, nor from the south' but from the Lord. This is where
looking to and crying Abba Father (thatz to our Dad in heaven) is the
most
important thing. It is also true worship and true faith:
Matt. 6:33. "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness (the last three words are left out in modern versions); and all these things shall be added unto you."
In the kingdom of God the gift of faith is found functioning by those who
depend on an unseen God to live according to His word. While
within
the
kingdom of
men there is the tangible commodity called money to
get you by. Moreover, not only to get you by but to survive and
even get ahead
(thrive is the word), by functioning in a tangible and palpable world
which
is
functioning contrary to the things of God. This is where faith does not come
into the
picture and where man tries to be the master of his own identity.
Here
man has set the apparatus in
place to ease the striving and add to his gain. Anything to
side-step what God has placed as a stumbling block and rock of offence before us
... namely the cross!
To improve his
conditions without God, man has shortchanged God's ways by inventing
his own, even from tampering with times and seasons and laws
(Dan. 7:25) to how
he trades and makes merchandise in Babylon. The trouble is
... he who holds the purse strings plays the tune everyone else
has to skip to. It is where the borrower is always on the back
foot to the lender. This is what initiates the fun and games
process
of
politics and why things happen when they shouldn't or can't be
explained.
Merely because underhanded
deals are being made daily outside the public arena, with a profit in
mind (usually without the commoners in mind - Mark 12: 37-44).
Also, while governing or
affecting the affairs of every person abiding in daily
routine (from behind the scenes), whether for the better or for the worst.
As I say "politics is the means" to get to point B or Z, while filling
the pockets of the crafty or the private accounts of the shrewd in
some small neutral nation. The reason scripture tells us to
be wary of the receiving of gifts (Pr. 17:23, Ec. 7:7). Best to be indebted to God than man, in other words!
Summary:
In the kingdom of God wisdom is the
principle thing - where faith brings the promises of God to
pass - and he who seeks God finds Him.
In the kingdom of men money is the principle thing - as striving
to get ahead may accomplish it - where only the rich make it, but only for only a season.
While all this takes place there is a war being waged in the
heavenlies, and it is a war of light and darkness as opposing factions. Eph. 6:12 declares:
"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against
principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of
this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."
Both
the New Age movement and paganism of old, say light and darkness are
working together for the same process and are part of the grand cosmos
of balance, unity and the so-called circle of life. The Bible
reveals a different scenario however, as just revealed in the above
verse. Therefore, I will now use this time to hone in on the dark
side of man
affairs and what
is
happening behind the scenes from boardrooms to basements, to secret
societies, even under the convenient protection of parliamentary
privilege (depending on what country you live in).
From handshakes, to
winks, to nods, to initiation ceremonies; schemes and decisions are
made
daily which will affect the outcome of everyone, irrespective of
whether it
leads to prosperity or gloom, bust or boom, or is beneficial or
detrimental. That's to the signing or
ratifying
of treaties or new legislation, to international conditionelles (these
work
well when a nation is placed in debt), to cartels (where the competitor
is owned by the opposition) and to concordats (religion and the state
jumping into bed together to share mutual benefits).
Nevertheless, where all appears
as it is not, to the everyday person.
You see, for the Devil to get control and instigate his plans of
tyranny and serfdom, to eventual destruction, he has to influence and entrap man to
become his puppet through using spiritual stealth and supernatural
manipulation.
That's why both light and darkness, and good and evil are promoted
together as one and an essential, eternal 'circle for life' and
prosperity. Moreover, the
love of money is his most effective bait to use as the dangling carrot
and get his way. This is why there is a dark side to many things
that appear good and worthy with the occult connection coming through
in entertainment, advertising, the latest ideologies, and to alternative
belief systems. Now to education. All acting as a catalyse
in extending the Devil's
web of influence. After all, he is the prince of this world and the
prince of the power of the air, being a liar from the beginning, and
"the
spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience".
Here's
the line ('twas even used to try and trip up Jesus of Nazareth) ... "All these
things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me."
No, there is no mutual balance
and unison between light and darkness. They are both opposed to one
another, with one working for evil and the other to do with the
blessing of God and eternal life through Him.
A real give away is not only the glorification of gory and dark images coming from
Hollywood, to TV, to the WWW; nor the violence and degradation flooding the
establishment in general on a general and global scale; but the popular usage of number
trinities such as 333, 666, 999, and so forth. This goes for triangles and pyramids also, to other
related symbolic depiction's while spilling over into the trendy logo industry using secret combinations.
Bearing in mind, and repeating again, the claim used by the Free Masons in
regards to the symbols on everyone of their US dollar bill:
"The triangle around the "All Seeing Eye" represents the
Trinity; the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost."
Here's a friendly reminder: One, plus one, plus one, still equals three!
Count the number
Moreover, "Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of
the beast"!
F'instance, take one 'unit' (or something) and divide it by 3 using
decimal
currency, and what do you get? You should get an exact third
of your value shouldn't you? But not quite in this
instance. This instance being the result of using the invented system of
decimal/metric calculation.
Now with this third number value in decimal currency (which actually is .333 and so on), try multiplying this value this time, again using the number value of 3. Now what number do you get this time? Shouldn't you get
the same value back which you started out with in the first place, being
the value of one 'unit' in this case? No, you don't, do
you?
What do you get? You get .999 this time, and so on!
Is this not incomplete? Is this not imperfect? You started
out with a value called one 'unit'. Then by using the old method of
calculations by multiplying back with the same number you started out
with and divided with (namely 3),
logic and commonsense says you should retrieve the same amount and end
up again with the
same value you started out with. However, in actual fact, by
using this
newer, alternate system of calculation called the 'decimal' or 'metric
system' you
have a slight shortfall. Yes, very very slight, but a shortfall
nevertheless! In actuality ... you never did quite get your
dough back. Somehow and somewhere along the line you were
slightly short-changed. Even using the line 'ripped off' would be
quite appropriate, as you will find out soon, as you read on.
Do you get it? Or is it too simple to comprehend? Take this new value of the .333
you are left with now using the new 'decimal system' and by rights you
should get back to where
you were in the first place, back to the sum of 'one unit',
shouldn't you? However, once again you don't despite what
logic says. Again, somehow and someway you have lost value and
been short-changed. Why is this? This is because you are
using
man's system and not God's. The 'decimal currency/metric system'
is not
of God but has been connived by man over the centuries as a
short-cut system. It is an alternative system supposed to be
easier but coming with a great flaw. It is an alternative to
God's way and the biblical way of counting, measurements and balance,
and therefore falls short. It is frustrated because it is outside
of God's perfect economy and wisdom.
Here's summarizing the difference in order for the point to be made
clear as it can, as we are not really meant to think this way, just see
the newer system as an easier, and therefore supposedly, better way (better for
who I say?):
The old standard 'imperial system' ... take 'one unit' divided by 3, equals one third (or a 1/3 rd equal parts).
Now take this one third of the 'one unit' you divided by 3 and multiply it back by 3.
This equals the one unit again (total, complete, and perfect).
Clear and simple! You have not been short-changed, have you?
The newer connived 'metric system' this time ... take 'one unit divided by 3, and you will find it now equates to .333 (round about this time).
Now take this .333 (supposedly representing one third) and multiply it back by 3. This actually equate to .999
(supposedly representing the one unit again this time). In actual
fact, it is not 'one unit' to be precise, and to be even completely honest (if
ethics or virtue come into the picture) it falls slightly (very
slightly to be precise) of being a total 'one unit' (an incomplete and
imperfect outcome).
Not clear and simple this time! You have been clearly short-changed somewhere and somehow along the line, haven't you?
Well, when calculating or doing sums with figures (numeric figures)
shouldn't they be used precisely or accurately to get a precise and
accurate end result? Not in the case of the new metric/decimal
system we have had imposed on us over the last couple of centuries, or
decades, depending on where we live and how conditioned we have become.
Remove not the old landmark
In contrast, the old (standard imperial) system based on using the measurement of the
figure twelve, the foot rule (divide this by 3 - purrrfect!), is
the same system the Egyptians used (remember those incredible mega
structures ...
the
pyramids and temples they constructed?). This system being the
same system
brought over from the Old World by Noah and his family, who used
this
same system when they built the Ark. The same system which passed right
through
history and was the rule of thumb right up into the zenith of the
mighty British Empire where the sun was never supposed to have set, who spearheaded both the agricultural and
industrial revolutions, preparing the way for the great technological
leap
forward during the 20th Century. The time when "many (would) run to and fro (global travel),
and knowledge (would) be increased" as the population began to
multiply as it did in the days of Noah (Gen. 6:1 & Luke 17:26).
Therefore,
as time went by, and man drifted from God, His wisdom and principles,
the biblical numbering
system was oozed out while being stealthily replaced with the new
system being phased
in. This came about by using the art of gradualism (conditioning
through change and upheaval) which was honed and crafted as "the
elite's" knowledge increased. If the world was going to be
swayed over into a dependency of electronic software and gadgetry, then
a standard decimal shortcut system would standardize everything (just
like the universal language now made official as English) and
make it easy to control everyone. The catch phrase ... "user
friendly"! With a snag behind the gloss! More alarmingly
... with a sting at the end of the tail!
Proof? Just take the one 'unit' again as we just used as a generalized example, and divide it by 3, using
the old system of fractions. Now we are aware of what we get!
Yes ... 1/3 rd! Now multiply this 1/3 rd again by 3 and what do you
get? Yes ... you have got back your 'one unit' as
nothing is lost and nothing falls short. It is perfect and full
proof. This way there is no devaluation if used sensibly and
ethically. Nor can the banks or
moneychangers get their hands on the .111 surplus, or the inaccuracies
produced to
round-off on top of the high interest you could already be
paying.
Just think of the massive profit being made every time the likes of a .111 transaction is made millions of time a day, being
added together over a period of time? Or when another shortfall is created by taking away something with less value to
make it less complicated (yeah right!!)? Therefore, every time a
devaluation or round-off to the nearest
percentage takes place (like doing away with "obsolete" one or two cent coins,
just like what happened with the round-off when NZ converted from LSD
to dollars
and cents back in the late sixties), who makes profit out of the
final squaring up process?
Certainly not the man in the street or your average consumer, would you agree?
Usually it is the banking fraternities and the multi-national
corporations.
However, as a consumer, you are not allowed to think this way.
You are conditioned to think in terms of "bargains" and
"convenience". In terms of "positivity" in contrast to
"negativity" in order to embrace an apparent "positive" outcome,
thinking its all in your favour. Yes, you are programmed to
really believe that when
devaluation makes minor values like five cent coins being a nuisance at
best, or a complication at worse, it is to your benefit they are
removed. To the
point of what the individual can get out of a transaction, not
realizing
there is always a trade-off. While consumers do not realize it is
a step closer to
an "easy", "tidy", (apparently) "rip-off proof", "very convenient",
"user friendly" cashless society.
Does it click? Has the penny (no pun intended) dropped?
Because now we should also see the importance of 'controlled'
inflation,
and why devaluation works in favour of those controlling the purse
strings. Or slick marketing and clever presentation can lure the
consumer and cause a spending spree. It's all in the mindset and
how it is being 'programmed'! 'Conditioned' is a more accurate
and honest word in this case!

"bargains galore!!!"
Spot the trick or the treat (scrambled imperfection)!
But don't ever spot the triune number!
Moreover, the
great end time sales pitch is always avoiding the great round-off trick showing favour in the
publics hands. We are slowly and subtly being trained to look and
accept figures of 6.69 or 9.99 or 499.90 and
so on (that's in dollars
and cents -
even if the cents don't exist). Created (intentionally or
unintentionally) as tricks to make you think something of more value
has less value in order for you to buy. Simple and
cunning marketing ploys in other words, aimed at the subconscious or a
busy society who is conditioned to consume, consume, consume, without
much thought. The reason for "specials" and flurry, neon lights
and upbeat music while you shop. Usually in your face, without realizing it's all in your face!
Do you get the drift, even though
I just used random figures as examples? This
is the 666 system all around us while shopping, selling, buying,
trading and so on. Moreover, one day Satan is going to
funnel all this into a situation that is snared at the end of it (which is happening all the
time of course) where you are going to have to
be aligned body (1), soul (2), and spirit (3) with this system for
dependence and survival. And we all know what this is
called, don't we? Yes, the now forecasted (once denied) cashless
society!
Yes, being "the mark (1), or the name of the beast (2),
or the
number of his name (3)" for everyone to be locked into. And
without formal and signed allegiance
to at least one or all three of these emplacements (this means being
pierced, branded, or tattooed, or marked, or implanted someway
individually, in order for the system to claim ownership), you will not
be
able to "buy or sell" as Rev. 1: 17 clearly says. Just think of
the overall
implications!
Very important question: How are you responding to all
this? There is only two real alternatives at the end of the day
really ... go with the flow or come to the cross!
By the way ... God forbids this alliance in
any form or taking this mark or number upon yourself (not to forget to
mention about the OT commands about abstaining from cutting or marking
our bodies, which are now the temples of God in the NT). This
is why it is prudent and the soundest advice you will ever hear to get
into the kingdom of light immediately, without delay, where one lives by faith and not by sight! Take a look at
verse 18
(6+6+6) once again:
"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."
That's 6 (1) 6 (2) 6
(3), a trinity of numbers for those who can't count to three!
This is no fairy tale or myth by the way! Nor a horror story made up by
Hollywood or the entertainment industry to be brushed off as mere fantasy; but the word of
God straight and true! The sure word of prophecy coming to pass in other words! In our day and age!
Click here for a few examples of this endtime subliminal conditioning process!
Why
the change? It is all part of a global marketing
campaign,
holding hands with the New Age movement,
that the average Joe Blogg's in the street would buy into through a
mass exercise in "education" (nice word for conditioning or being
brainwashed) and "public relations" to make the general populace
believe they are switching
to a more easy, fair and workable system. Is that so? This
way
everything becomes universalized and interdependent. Also, with the help of the new hi tech
computer industry (I feel I am beginning to use outdated phraseology
already) and a hugh exercise in civil engineering the populace, this system will pave the way for the beast and its mark,
and
where antichrist is put in place ... the coming son of perdition.
Presently, the new system is for convenience
and
easy and instant answers, from information to gratification, with
mental stimulation and 'touch button' entertainment of all sorts.
Moreover, being sold as a safe way to safe guard your dough
and catch the fraudsters and crims by global identification and
surveillance. The end
will be for control and
serfdom nevertheless, with no avenue left for escape. Therefore,
refuse the
mark and embrace the Son! Today is the day of salvation!
Tomorrow will be too late!
The mark (1) the number (2) the name (3) justified as a safe and secure system.
Refuse the chip (implant)!!!
Animals, prisoners, special op military personnel, even the children of
the very wealthy (to monitor or counteract kidnapping or
....
hostage
taking) are
just the beginning!

I remember first reading about the implant about 1992 and began warning people that one day it would be enforced on everyone.
.
Over the years it was slowly drip fed about its advantages for certain
cases like personal ID. Only two months ago on a doco on
..telly it was mentioned about global surveillance being a reality for
everyone to accept. A small part of this programme mentioned
..
publicly for
the first time how
everyone in the world will eventually
be
implanted for electronic advantages, from SAR, to travel
..
ID, to safe buying, banking and trading. No one said a thing at
work, and since that day I have not heard one mention, or squeak,
or protest, of the plan nor the programme, anywhere.
Incredible! Remarkable! Amazing! But true! "He
causes ALL," it says!

written late 2007
Say ye not, A confederacy
Forget about conspiracies just this once. It is the love of
money,
filthy lucre, Mammon (the god of finance) being the root of all evil,
that brings a snare ... "which while some coveted after, they
have erred from the faith (that's believers),
and pierced themselves through with many sorrows."
The conspiracy
about "conspiracies" in most cases is an exaggeration, sometimes
fantasyland stuff. In some cases it is deliberate planted misinformation,
taking us away into the sensational and
into the realms
of having our mental faculties entertained and tickled by fables and
intrigue, to
the point of having the wool pulled over our
eyes. In the
Christian's case, it is designed to take him away from the word and the
crux of
the gospel.
1 Tim. 6:9. "But they (the believers) that will be rich fall into temptation and a
snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in
destruction and perdition."
Our enemy is not flesh and blood (man that is) but the invisible spiritual
forces
working undercover to undermine, snare and destroy, denying as many as
possible the wonderful precious gift of salvation. Moreover,
spiritual things cannot be combated with carnal means and will never
get to the root or solve the main problem. It is where one sets
their affections that will carry such sway:
1 Tim. 6:10. "For the love of money is the root of all evil:
which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and
pierced themselves through with many sorrows."
Here's how a believer combats it effectively:
1 Tim. 3:7. "Moreover he must have a good report of them which
are without (the non Christians); lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil."
Therefore,
Bible believers are not exempt. It is how they choose to conduct
themselves within and without, with what has been entrusted to
them. Furthermore, the Lord always leaves a way out for the meek
and teachable:
2 Tim. 2:26. "And that they may recover themselves out of the
snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will."
Therefore, whether believer or infidel (Satan is
undiscriminating), it is not a political or social answer we are looking
for.
Neither is it a religious one, as all religions deny the narrow
way and will be destroyed during the Great Tribulation as just pointed
out anyway. It is fully a spiritual solution, and it has nothing to
do with
man uniting together to solve the problems of the world. It is
personal between the individual
and God Himself, and it is aimed at everyone (the whosoever) to repent and
turn.
Reconciliation with others is not reconciliation with God. Turn
to God first through Christ, then everything else will be taken care
of as you abide in Him, His way, for eventual betterment and the healing of the alienation and enmity between each other.
You
might be saying by now, "What on earth has this to do with the
"Holy
Trinity" doctrine?" Very much
indeed would be my reply! From both parts of this treatise one
should see it plays a very big role in the end time entanglement and
deception, as well as false unity. For a start, read Rev. 16:13:
"And I saw three
unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out
of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet."
In the midst of this great endtime delusion, social and spiritual
control is coming in three areas ... in the areas of the
economical, religious and political arenas, wooing the world into an
ultimate showdown of conflict and destruction........................................
Also,
we can see right through scripture a three stage process both
historically and symbolically. It all began in the Garden when
the
Serpent lured Eve through targeting her sensory faculties, appealing to
three
categories man is made up of ... body, soul and spirit. It
is always that way in the world
and were the three areas which Satan tempted Jesus in the wilderness believe it or not!
John calls these three "the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the
eyes, and the
pride of life" (1 John 2:16). Modern preachers nickname them the
"Three Gs" ... "the gold, the gals (or the guys), and the glory"! The whole idea
is
for the enemy to
sneak in and rule the individual's soul by isolating it from the
spirit; the part which is (or should
be) connected to God. This devilish activity stretches from early pagan practices, to the
traditions of Christendom, to areas of Sci-fi fantasy today. Even with the
'alien cult' many are being
enticed with in these last days, from the 'sons of God' distortion, to
little 'greys', to grotesque 'giants' (monsters). Ever heard of "Close
Encounters of the Third Kind"?
With
God there was a three stage process for the children of Israel
(being under the old covenant) in coming into the presence of
God. These were the inner court, the holy place and the holy of
holiest. These
were also all in conjunction with man's make-up of body (relating to
the
physical world), the soul (mind and emotions, relating to the
atmosphere - the
heavenlies), and spirit (relating directly with God in the heaven of
heavens). This served as type only (the administration of priests, washings and
ceremonies etc.) under the Old Cuv. However, for us under the new
and
better covenant, through the
spilt blood and split veil, we now have free access to God as our
Daddy, anytime, on the
grounds of what Jesus accomplished at Calvary.
The Old Testament
presented the ordinances and rites. The New Testament presents
the fulfilment of the law and prophets, doing away with its temporary
ordinances and rites, with God nailing them to the cross forever.
Why serve the shadow when we can know the reality? You can now
say ... allelujah!!!
These
three ordained areas and principles run right through
scripture as parallels
in such things like the "three feasts of Israel" etc. Jesus was
three days and three nights in the belly of the earth fulfilling His
work prior to the ascension. History is also dispensationally
divided
into three 2,000 year time slots ... from Adam to Abraham, from
Abraham to
Jesus, and from Jesus to the present ... Before the 1,000 year
reign of
Christ on earth, completing the cycle of time (the seventh day).
On and on we could expound here. However, basically we can
see the number three popping up all over the place and the Trinity
being a
great way for religious man to neatly package and present an eternal
triangle
of three separate persons while not daring to call them three separate
divinities, deities, entities or gods. Taken further again by
man, by
presenting a
christianized version, package in order to validate, justify, explain
away, and verify as "Christian" and being "biblical", while
the truth is rejected. Furthermore, leaving the door open
for a compromising mixture ... undermining a 'leaven free'
gospel,
and diluting the
defined pure word of God. Jesus called it, "Making the word of
God of none effect through your tradition"! Paul put it this way,
"For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God"!
This
all runs the same course and is man's way, inspired by
spiritual influence and supernatural persuasion. This is also for
the cause of short-cutting the system and working everything
in man's favour, all bundled up to make it sound plausible and
verified,
as well as marketable in whatever financial, political or religious
slot it can fit into. In other words, it is man's clever
counterfeit and alternative to God's perfect economy and wisdom, providing a cover to
operate
from, so man can be gods within his own sphere and lords unto himself.
Lucifer was kicked out of heaven due to his pompous and self conceited
"five wills" he made in rebellion against God. Here, recorded Isaiah
14: 13-14, Lucifer was going to usurp and exclude God and run things his
own way, for his own sake:
"For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will
sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the
north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like
the most High."
Actually, three things were taking place here: Lucifer was elevating himself (1) above the heights of the clouds (ascending
into heaven above the stars of God to the throne), by taking the place of
God (2) in His seat over the congregation, in order (3) to be like God. Just like the "scribes and the Pharisees (who sat) in Moses'
seat" calling the shots in Matt. 23:2.
Likewise, the following is record for the first time in history where man makes a
fully consorted, unified effort, to unite solely against God and exalt himself
towards heaven. You see the threefold witness in scripture works in
reverse as well, where man is found blocking out and ignoring God wholly in
his schemed endeavours. This is the three "let us" episodes in
scripture, as an engineered rebellion against God similar to Lucifer's failed effort.
Before
this event man rebelled against God in an individual way, being
lead away and turning to wicked alternatives and devices over a period
of time, where he eventually blocked out God to the
point most of mankind were corrupted, and to the point God decided
to destroy
the earth, save a few righteous.
However, in the Babel scenario there was no record of a righteous seed being in the midst, but only a fully
consorted effort against God, where God was fully left out of man's
desires and imaginations, and where God had to once again act in
retribution towards the three "let us" revolts. Gen. 11:3-4:
"And they said one to another, Go to, let us make
brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime
had they for morter. And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a
tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest
we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth."
Paraphrased, this is the first level of rebellion ... "Let us
begin a
plan without God so that we can achieve and succeed without Him ('the
number' - making calculations)." The next step would be to build
a city
(denomination, organization, movement, clique, an alternative to the
kingdom) with the absence of God,
so man would be in control and master of his own destiny ('the image'
on show - making an impression). This would place him in a
position of inventing a name in order for recognition and in holding
everyone and everything together in the organization, acting as a
landmark for every one
to rally behind in both support and compliance ('the name'). The invented
name would be vital
in instituting it and binding it together.
Here God, as both the everlasting Almighty and the prophesied Son
to come (the Word becoming flesh) was counteracting
what man had said ("let us"), and was prophetically saying what He was
going to do to man judgementally wise, which was to do with spoiling
man's plans by sowing confusion in the ranks. Here it is
(which was not three or two persons speaking as once in unison and
perfect harmony, but One voice, the voice of God) .... Gen.
11:7:
"Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech."
Therefore, we have two witnesses that were going to come down to earth
for the first time, not just in angelic form, but as the Word become
flesh, followed by the promise of the Father. In other words
... the Word of God and the Spirit of God, prophesied by God Himself! This would be
the fulfilment of this wonderful passage found in John 18: 13-18:
"The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself;
thy record is not true. Jesus answered and said unto them, Though
I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know whence I
came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I
go. Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man. And yet if I
judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father
that sent me. It is also written in your law, that the testimony
of two men is true. I am one that bear witness of myself, and the
Father that sent me beareth witness of me."
We can see from this passage that there are clearly two ways to judge
... in the flesh or in the Spirit! Man judges his way and
accommodates anything plausible that will fit his manufactured image. God,
whose ways are above mans, judges with righteous judgement which bears
witness to the truth. Therefore, as two manifestations of His person,
this reinforces that His witness is true. It is also the judgement His
people are to use when walking in Him. Looking again:
"I am one that bear witness of myself, and the
Father that sent me beareth witness of me."
The one and same person bearing witness as two to the same person
called Jesus! This is also the reason for the title of this treatise
... "the eternal Word and the begotten Son"!
The great privilege we have as
Bible believers (if we are going to go
broke for the truth and dare to search out a matter as Proverbs 25:2
declares, and
look into the depths of Christ, and judge not in the flesh, but to discern
with spiritual discernment) we find there are unending riches abounding
in
revelation through the written word. Here is a portion of
scripture that proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that when dealing with
God we are only dealing with one PERSON and not PERSONS as the Trinity
doctrine declares. Take a good look at this found in Heb. 1:1-4 (thanks again Steve):
"God, who at sundry times and
in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
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; Who
being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of
his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he
had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the
Majesty on high; Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath
by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they."
In reference to God, scripture
never uses the word PERSONS but PERSON. This ONE person "being the
brightness of his glory, and the express image of
his person".
Eph.; 4:6. "One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all."
As far as three persons go ... Yes, Jesus has experienced being
the second person, or should I say the middle person out of
three. I'm speaking about the cross here! Yes, the
cross and definitely not the Godhead!! That's our Saviour who was crucified between two common crims who were
thieves! By taking the place of the third crim ... a
murderer, as a mater of fact! Meaning, Jesus replaced the worst of the three condemned, dying
on someone's else's cross that was not meant for Him, in the middle, the focal point, as
the greatest open spectacle above the other two.
Something to ask yourself ... Is the Holy Trinity not only a flawed
doctrine at best but a mimic at worst, of Jesus being the second or
middle person of three condemned rejects, publicly humiliated in the most
horrific way possible? "Cut off out of the land of the living" to
triumph over sin and death for you and me! The Trinity concept
certainly cuts out Jesus being the first and third so-called persons
of the Godhead, making Him just the middle man/god and keeping Him
limited to just this second place of heavenly rank. Is this not
true?
The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the LORD hath made even both of them
Years ago I noticed from scripture that
reference was made time and time again to "the voice of the
Lord". Twenty seven times in fact throughout the entire
Bible. It was obvious
that there was a very good reason and that it was very important to
hear God's voice. The big question at the time ... how were we to do this? Hear His voice that is?
"And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me.
Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye
believe not. Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have
eternal life: and they are they which testify of me (Jesus)."
This passage of scripture
spoken by Jesus is saying to those around him
that they had never heard His voice. Here was Jesus in the midst
as God in the flesh, speaking the oracles of God, and when they heard
Him speak they were not really hearing the words. They were not
hearing the voice of God even though it was the very voice of God
speaking. The reason they were not hearing God's voice was
because they did not recognize God in their midst. Their
judgement was after the flesh. They were leaning on their own
understanding. As believers,
we hear God's voice because we know and acknowledge who Jesus is and we have His word abiding in us.
Likewise, here was God in the midst of the children of Israel. However, they
did not recognize (being visible this time) that here was God right in front
of them. Oh yes, they were seeing Jesus of Nazareth, the man from
Galilee, but they were not seeing God. Once again the reason they
were not seeing God was because they were not recognizing Him being in
their midst. Bearing in mind they would have known the scriptures
(especially the religious leaders) that according to John 5:39 they testifieth to Jesus.
Furthermore, who does Jesus testify to? Does He testify to the Godhead? Does He testify to
the Trinity so-called? Does He testify to the Spirit? Or does He
testify to the Father? Nope! None of these! The scriptures
testify of Jesus (John 5:39). The Holy Ghost testifies of Jesus
(John 15:26). The
Father testifies of Jesus (John 8:18). And Jesus testifies to
Himself (John 5:36, 8:18, 18:18)! He is both the voice of
God and the shape of God! Wanna see God? Wanna know
God? Wanna hear from God? Then look to Jesus ... the
author and finisher of our faith! Both the voice and the shape of God! The one we hear and the one we see!
After I sent out my first article on exposing the Trinity concept
called "the Threefold Witness of Jesus", a brother wrote to me
justifying the Holy Trinity doctrine and believing the verse he sent reinforced what
he said while debunking my article. Here is his comment using a verse in the book of Revelation for reference (my emphasis):
"Look at Revelation 5:6, where after John has wept, all of a sudden
he sees "standing" in the "midst" of the throne the Lord Jesus Christ who
moves to the right hand of the Father to take the scroll. John and we
now are able to see in this vision both the oneness and distinct persons of
our wonderful God. In verse 6 we see the Father, Son, and the Holy
Spirit [seven horns, eyes, Spirits]."
Good argument, would
you not say!? Following is the passage from Revelations five he
was referring to (verses 1 - 7) bearing in mind it is to do with God as
the Spirit and God as the Son, a man. The same PERSON God nevertheless):
"And I saw in the right hand
of him that sat on the throne (the Spirit God) a book
written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals. And
I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is
worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was
able to open the book, neither to look thereon. And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read
the book, neither to look thereon. And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of
the tribe of Juda, the Root of David (Jesus the man), hath prevailed to open the book,
and to loose the seven seals thereof. And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four
beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been
slain (Jesus the man), having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits
of God (the Spirit/s of Jesus) sent forth into all the earth. And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne (the Spirit God)."
Okay,
we see Jesus in this portion of scripture as a Lamb and as a
Lion
and as someone different from the person on the throne, while making
judgement in the flesh. However, from Heb. 1:8 it says:
"But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne,
