These Men that have Turned the World Upside Down are Come Hither Also
You may believe the world is in the hands of supranational oligarchs.
They™ believe it is.
They™ have been at work building and consolidating this hierarchical order of absolute power and authority since the beginning of time. What upsets the Edenic apple-cart in an otherwise progressive pattern of success is, The Other Highest Power at work. We’ll call him GOD.
GOD works through his self ascribed nature: the I AM is inherently omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient. A fairly formidable foe to challenge. And yet, it happens night and day by the princes of this world. Go figure.
The inherent difference between the two is one is an hierarchy of evil and the other—the Head of all things living—is good. One is constantly changing tactics to foil the plans of his better, and The Other never changes. One desires to change the truth into a lie, and The Other is the way, the truth and the life.
Through his scope of omnipotence, GOD created the heavens and the earth by his own power: “Let there be…,” he said, and the world came into existence. It doesn’t even matter that The Science™ says otherwise: a field of so-called experts that has been captured by the hierarchy of liars who have a vested interest in controlling the narrative to control the hive mind.
Through his scope of omniscience, GOD knows the beginning from the end, and gave us a Book so we could know. One Book, not two hundred counterfeits. Don’t worry whether other cultures have this Book in their language. If the world was turned upside down after his bodily presence on earth, and there were multiple languages then, GOD can get His Word out effectively. Speaking in tongues wasn’t the delusory babble it is today. GOD changed the words of his disciples in Jerusalem who spoke of the wonderful works of God that caused strangers from afar to understand and take his message back to their people.
And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. And there dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.
Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.
And they were all amazed and marveled, saying one to another, Behold, are not these which speak Galilaeans? And how hear we every man in his own tongue wherein we were born? --Acts 2:4-8
The passage goes on to speak of which nations under heaven devout Jews had come from who were dwelling at Jerusalem, and calls it “the last days.” The Prophet Joel in the Old Testament describes those days in Chapter Two as the time of Jacob’s Trouble; AKA the tribulation period; the 70th week of Daniel; the great and dreadful day of the Lord; the day of his wrath when vengeance is unleashed… references by the Scriptures of the Prophets concerning the same period of seven years.
But those days are not yet. The prophetic clock has not restarted since it was interrupted two thousand years ago, by a secret that got told to a Jew named Saul of Tarsus. Later called by his Roman name, Paul has his “road to Damascus” encounter with Jesus, who he was unknowingly persecuting in his exceeding zeal for the Judaic traditions of his fathers. As a convert to the faith he previously laid waste to, he later confesses:
Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.
For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.
For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. —Rom 10:1-4
A transition then begins wherein GOD’s favored nation would no longer have the preeminence it once held. Paul began taking a message never heard before to his fellow Jews first, until the point where Israel as a nation rejected it.
We read about this transition in the Book of Acts. It is the cause of much confusion when one fails to rightly divide the word of truth. By studying Paul’s epistles and believing what it says, understanding is given, wisdom gained and Christian denominations disappear (hmm, maybe we’ve found the problem).
So there was the Jews’ religion mixed with the traditions of men: Neo-Judaism. There was the pure doctrine taught by Christ to his followers that was written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning him. And then there was Paul traveling about with this new doctrine going into the synagogues of the Jews, as was his manner, and reasoned with them out of the Scriptures, opening and alleging, that Christ must needs have suffered, and risen again from the dead; and that this Jesus, whom I preach unto you, is Christ.1
Depending on which city Paul entered, some, and sometimes a great many, believed; including devout Greeks and honorable women. And some believed not. The unbelievers, usually Jews, through envy, loss of capital, or other cause for hatred became hostile and started trouble.
One particular city stood apart from the others by reason of their noble character. We learn about the Jewish synagogue in Berea, those who upon hearing Paul and his doctrine concerning Christ, received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.2
(This attribute inspired me to give the name Beréan to my firstborn son. Sadly, he has not yet lived up to it. Hey, he’s still in his twenties! Awaiting Dawn Patience :)
What was Paul teaching not made known before it was given him? It’s all set forth in his thirteen epistles, in order of growth… milk to meat… Romans thru Philemon, to be studied, line upon line and precept upon precept; here a little, there a little. We now know by studying The Book GOD completed and gave to the world, WHY Christ went to the cross, instead of wiping out his enemies and setting up his heavenly kingdom on earth to rule and reign forever on King David’s throne. This is what his followers were expecting until that day he was captured. They ran away confused and hid in fear. One infamous follower denied knowing him. Yeah, his tune changed after he witnessed the risen Lord.
But this is where it gets cloudy. Many cannot see it. Many refuse to even look because they’ve been turned off by religion and its sister, hypocrisy. Still others simply believe what their pastor or priest says, making no effort as a noble Berean to search the Scriptures to see if what they hear is true. I write because I love the truth and have no problem confronting these religious people who are clueless and deceived.
I’ll leave the doctrine that was made known from the beginning — Genesis to mid-Acts — and move on to the doctrine that was kept secret (from the princes of this world). I want to emphasize how critical and wonderful this message is in our time. Also, because the religious and secular alike, ignorant of this mystery, are incapable of answering the important questions humans have, or providing solutions to the chaos in the world today.
The hardest thing in all the world, I think, is to trust someone. I mean fully trust. We begin our relationships keeping others on trial as long as it takes to know if they prove trustworthy. And then we discover no one is, including ourselves. We all fail at some point. Forgiveness then only works when both parties come together, acknowledging their error and make amends in spirit, word and deed.
It works perfectly when the parties to the offense/sin (everyone) recognize that One, born of a woman by the seed of GOD, who knew no sin (Christ), forgave us at the cross and reconciled us to the Father by faith in him.
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement. —Rom 8-11
This is the essence of Paul’s doctrine. The law was given to make mankind aware of his guilt; it could never clear it. There was always a debt to pay when wrong was committed. God created man in his image, instilling within a conscious to know good and evil. But that conscious wasn’t activated until disobedience was found out.
Since the first Adam used his free will to disregard what GOD had commanded him, it’s now become clear that we...
All have sinned and come short of the glory of God. —Rom 3:23
As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one; There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. — Rom 3:10-12
That’s our condition, whether we like it or not. None of us asked to be born but we did find out quickly we were trouble. And there is absolutely nothing we can do about it. Nothing. From the beginning, Cain tried to prove otherwise but his “good works” were not accepted.
Forgiving one another without Christ makes for a better life on earth, but in the end death comes to all. And eternal death in a lake of fire to those who reject this Savior to all men. Remember, GOD cannot clear the guilty. But he will pardon the sinner who puts his trust in the One who took his guilt upon Himself.
Don’t believe your superstitious beliefs will hold up against God’s written Word. If God speaks to you (fundamentalist Christian), it better be found written down in Paul’s writings somewhere because we learn from him God is finished speaking in this present dispensation. His word is complete and anything he has to say to man is in the Book. Studying it approves you to GOD and grants wisdom, understanding and knowledge.
Furthermore, to be clear what this mystery entails, Paul writes:
To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation; and has made us ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us, we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. — 2 Cor 5:19-20
Whereof I am made a minister according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God; Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory… —Col 1:25-27
Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him. —Eph 1:9-10
To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God, According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord, In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him. —Eph 3:10-12
Did you get that? Our trust in him results in his faith upholding us to the end with access to him at any time.
We may falter in our faith but he never fails. He drives us to his word which empowers and stablishes us.
As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. —Col 2:6-7
BUT…
Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. —Col 2:8
A warning to believers! To Christians of the 21st century!
And that is what has upset the Oligarchic apple-cart. We who believe and are justified from all things, not having any trespasses imputed against us, don’t believe Their™ lies anymore. We’ve been made free, not serving sin in its lust anymore, and are coming unto the knowledge of the truth by studying and rightly dividing it.
We no longer have the spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind.
We cannot be bullied, terrified, mind controlled, dis-empowered, manipulated, or deceived because we who study and believe the Word of Truth, have the mind of Christ and the power of God to live unto him. We now…
Give thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: For by him 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: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
Ha! Try that one on for size Vatican City. Or Washington DC. Or London City. Or Venice, Israel, Geneva, Astana, or any other power base of assumed authority. Your days are numbered.
This is why the secret of Paul’s message was not revealed until after the cross. Because the battle was won in the hearts of men by Christ’s obedience to the Father, to suffer in our place. Satan tried to tempt him to gain the upper hand (and bc Christ had to be tested), but he never knew that by killing Christ, he fell into GOD’s plan to save the human race. All who would believe.
Satan still thinks he can checkmate GOD. But we know that God’s word is now complete. There’s no more secrets. The beginning from the end has been unveiled. Satan is doomed; and all who do not trust in the righteous blood that was shed at Calvary to cleanse the offender will follow him into the Lake of Fire, the place prepared for the devil and his angels before the world began.
And in his omniscience, there is no place to hide. As it is written, everything done in secret will be made known. Everything man has done will follow him as a record against him into the depths below should he die in unbelief.
Friend, you can surely trust him. I did forty years ago and he did not leave me to flounder. No. He gently picked me up each time I failed, walked beside me, and kept me growing in the truth, till I stood on my feet and realized, He will never leave me nor forsake me. In him, I can fully trust to keep his promises. On that solid rock I stand.
