The Half Hour of Silence in Heaven.

Not only could they not understand Him. They even called Him demon-possessed.

John 10: 1-21

1“Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever does not enter the sheepfold by the gate, but climbs in some other way, is a thief and a robber. 2But the one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. 3The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen for his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.

4When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice. 5But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will flee from him because they do not recognize his voice.”

Jesus spoke to them using this illustration, but they did not understand what He was telling them. 7 So He said to them again, 

“Truly, truly, I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep. 8 All who came before Mea were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9 I am the gate. If anyone enters through Me, he will be saved. He will come in and go out and find pasture. 10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I have come that they may have life, and have it in all its fullness.

11 I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep. 12 The hired hand is not the shepherd, and the sheep are not his own. When he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf pounces on them and scatters the flock. 13 The man runs away because he is a hired servant and is unconcerned for the sheep.

14 I am the good shepherd. I know My sheep and My sheep know Me, 15 just as the Father knows Me and I know the Father. And I lay down My life for the sheep. 16 I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them in as well, and they will listen to My voice. Then there will be one flock and one shepherd.

17 The reason the Father loves Me is that I lay down My life in order to take it up again. 18 No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of My own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This charge I have received from My Father.”

19 Again there was division among the Jews because of Jesus’ message. 20 Many of them said, “He is demon-possessed and insane. Why would you listen to Him?”

21 But others replied, “These are not the words of a man possessed by a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?”

A train of thought. Starting from Εκκλησια and ending with scribes and pharisees.

In the English translations of the Bible, we often come across the word ‘Church’. It is the English ‘translation’ of the Greek word “εκκλησια”. Εκκλησια is an ancient Greek word.

Ekklisia. Although it is translated as church – the word has lost its original ‘meaning’. The roots – the etymology- of the word “ekklisia” lend us quite a bit of insight.

The word “Church” (εκκλησια) in the Bible, does not refer to the building in town where people ‘worship’. The word εκκλησια refers to the people, the collective of Christ’s flock that comprises the Body of Christ – His followers – God’s children- and we are the Body. Christ is the Head. Figuratively and Literally.

Why Genetics Matter in Today’s Spiritual Battles

The Seed War

Human Genetics

The Nephelim

These aren’t ‘my’ topics…they are ‘our’ topics of great importance to us as Christians in today’s world.

Genetics? I am not talking biochemistry…I am talking mystical relevance, a code of God, a piece of Creation, the seat of God’s signature in our physical shell, the building blocks of the temple in which God abides in us – through the Holy Spirit.

Why The Seed War?

Why Know About The Nephelim?

  • Because understanding these mysteries is integral to understanding why there are anti-Christ agendas in this world.
  • Understanding these mysteries helps Christ’s followers discern truth from deceit in the murky dark world.
  • Whatever information we piece together from these mystery topics helps us understand where we are on a biblical timeline.
  • This information also helps us to discern whether or not history is truly as it’s presented/ and if what we have been ‘taught’ is true.

As a fellow sojourner, I can only explain what I see…but that would be my perspective. That is not what counts, though, for this website. It’s not about ‘my’ perspective. It’s about putting down some facts.

Each follower of Christ needs to understand these concepts – to the best of our ability. They are ancient, cosmic and biblical truths. Truths that many churches don’t discuss. Truths that many have been conditioned to perceive as myth. We need to see through the fog regarding these concepts and get a grounding understanding.

Understanding and discernment help fuel the spiritual arsenal we each carry.

Understanding the relevance of these topics is behind seeing the need for the armor of Ephesians 6.

Amen.

  • Christ compared the condition of the world when He returns to ‘the days of Noah’. The interbreeding described in Genesis 4…was it only a problem then? Can this ‘condition’ that corrupted the world in the days of Noah be corrupting our world today?

Uncovering Reality.

This is a book that is Alive.
Its pages can not be measured by 'width and length'.
The pages run deeper than what we can see.
The pagers soar higher than we can see.
The pages appear as a sheet but each sheet has endless layers.
Each layer peeled away yields yet another layer to understand.
The more you understand, the more you will need to seek.
The more you seek, the more you will find.
The more you find, the further you will need to dig.
The deeper you dig, the more you will see.
The more you see, the more you will understand.
The more you  understand, the clearer it all will be.
The clearer it becomes, the more you will be able to see your true self.
You will find out who you really are.
The fog will lift that was hiding the truth.
The keys to finding the truth was on those pages.
In the deeper meanings showing you higher heights.
In the layers you uncovered on each page.
The book you probably have, but had no idea what it really is.
Find it. Open it. 
Read it with your eyes, it appears to be accounts and stories.
Read it with your heart and watch it unfold.
Welcome to The Bible.

Speaking Up for Faith in Modern Times

What times are these that we live in? Many Christians are ashamed of speaking about their faith, fearing ridicule or offending non believers. What do we do? Do we speak up on everyone’s behalf to spread the Word and to wake believers up?

But Jesus said to us to be ‘careful not to practice righteousness in front of other people’. (Matthew 6:1) Does that only pertain to acts of charity, or does that also pertain to a display of faith? Where does one draw the line between sharing Scripture, sharing the Word, and discussing our faith, and proclaiming what we believe.

I think that the best way to proclaim our faith is to BE what we believe in…to Live what we believe…to Live and Be in Christ…to abide in the Lord. To be in constant prayer with Our Father…and then, not our words or actions, but His Light will change this world.

The challenge for us is to find and tread that Narrow Way…in these dark times.

Do Not Be Afraid

Jesus tells us not to be afraid. He tells us this most often than any other advice and direction. It is said that this is said 365 times in the Bible. We have no reason to fear, because He is in control. If we fear, we do not trust Jesus or God, our Father. It is a sign of true faith and love to give up the sense of ‘control’ and let God steer our life. He will always deliver us from evil and keep us safe. He always protects us and guides us. We just have to allow Him to do so. It is either God or us at the wheel…And only He can know what is best for us.
