Enigmatic and the very source of all Truth and Love, Jesus told us that he did not come to bring peace, but a sword. The point of this writing was to examine how over two thousand years of religious practice claiming allegiance to Jesus Christ may not have fully understood his very own words. Perhaps relationship, not religion is what he intended for his followers. Jesus opened the door for us, on God’s terms, to return to the one-on-one relationship we originally enjoyed in Paradise before the association with Satan.
To people of the faith, we might do well to revisit the following scripture and pray for understanding.
John Chapter 4 (the woman at the well, God seeks those who worship him in spirit and truth not temples or mountain tops)
Mathew Chapter 23:8 (call no one teacher, the Christ is your teacher)
Mark Chapter 13:2 (regarding the construction of buildings of worship, not one stone will be left)
John 13:35 ( By this shall all men now that you are my disciples, if you love one-another.) Do you honestly believe Jesus would approve of his people being divided by irreconcilable denominational doctrine?
Mark Chapter 13:6 (Many shall come in my name, saying, I am he; and shall lead many astray) Consider this carefully, as elsewhere Jesus said there would be false Christs but this time he expressed differently, as though men would be saying with their mouths “Jesus is who he claimed to be” yet even so, these men would go on to lead many astray. If these men are endorsing something different than what Jesus gave us himself, then they would indeed be leading many astray! I urge you to pray about this and deeply contemplate what is being said by our Lord with the guidence of his Holy Spirit.
Revelation 18:4 (regarding Mystery Babylon: come out of her my people) consider the spirit of religion that has been exposed to not know Him. Consider his people that are endorsing that spirit, consider Jesus prayed not that the Father take us out of the world but to protect us from the evil in it. Then “come out of her my people” is not saying to come out of the world. We will all come out of the world when we are reconciled to the Father through Jesus’ sacrifice.
Going Forward in the End Times:
Hopefully, we may have the heart and wisdom to share what our Creator has accomplished to reunite us to Him in the Gospel of John Chapter 3 verse 16 (For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.) Let’s continue to the last day to share this person-to-person and not through the trappings of religious organizations or institutions. Now we share a new relationship with Jesus the Messiah one-on-one. In doing this we may encourage others to do the same.
If anyone asks, “who is Jesus”, have them read (or read to them) The 1st chapter of the Gospel of John verses 1 – 18.
The time has come for us to avoid endorsing Mystery Babylon the Great Mother of Harlots, the religious nature of this fallen world, and to take very seriously what Jesus has told us concerning her. “Come out of her my people.”
Some more Observations and Ponderings about Eternity:
There are multiple layers of universe, New Testement scripture refers to someone caught up to the third such layer (called a heaven). The supreme leader of all layers of universe (or dimensions, or heavens) took a human form to personally deliver us from this universe, the world we presently dwell in. All human beings have a soul. A soul is eternal (made of imperishable substance) This present universe is eventually going to unravel at an atomic level into a nuclear fire. Our choice today will determine if we choose to remain in this universe or follow the only one able to lead us to a new one that is paradise. Scriptures indicate the time before Christ returns in power, that there will be a “hardness of heart,” there will be mockers saying “Where is this coming?” but we are each heading for a meeting with our creator, believers and non-believers alike. Whether by his return or through our mortal end. Given that our creator paid a very high price to deliver his plan for us to return to him and to warn us of what the universe looks like where he will not remain… it is very significant we hear him. (See chapter one of the book of John).
A Hard Reality:
The author of this writing was troubled for years over the concept of a place of eternal fire for the souls rejecting their creator. I could somewhat get on board with the idea of a soul or consciousness that prevails in the absence of a physical form, and to a limited degree that there might be a very bad place where beings could potentially find themselves, but it was hard for me to comprehend a loving God designing a place of eternal torment. How could this be? The following is the path I followed to a potential answer. I am presenting it here because I know some are struggling with such concepts the way I once did.
Today it is increasingly unpopular to admit you believe in a Creator or in a place called Heaven or worse, one called Hell. True to the scripture, mankind has become separated from it’s creator. In the logic inherited from some of the inhabitants of other dimensions (or layers of universes, or heavens as the scriptures mention) and at war with the Creator.
Today things are constantly falling into decay. Death reigns in the present age. Thorns prick, animals bite, humans murder and mistreat one another. The gods are not really so capable as they imagine, yet are also too proud to admit we need the one who has created us. The scriptures proclaim, “Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.” The author of this blog is writing this to reach a point of diverging paths. One either chooses to continue believing we are our own gods and will find solutions to whatever challenges arise, or one may choose to invest belief in a Creator that has visited us in a human form (Jesus, Yeshua, Esho) to deliver a profound message. The message: He is indeed real and the entire world and everything in it has become alienated from him. Ironically the world is ready to blame him or to say he does not exist, because of all the perceived injustice, suffering, and death but the reality is that we are to blame. We rejected him as our master, and becoming our own masters we reap the result of that decision.
Once accepting there may be another reality, perhaps even another universe or more than just one other, the author of this writing felt free to consider some alternate possibilities. What might the implications be? For example, in this present universe with what we understand about physical laws, it seems preposterous that an individual could create all forms of matter and retain its shape. How does one stand in space and mold a star? How does one create an explosion that is capable of forming galaxies? Yet what do we know of the laws of different layers of universes? What do we know of the intellect that has already seen the other layers and has already employed the properties of them? In the first chapter of John it states that the person of Christ created everything that is in this universe. Everything we see, touch, feel, smell, …everything. What are the properties of the layer of universe, heaven, dimension, he stood as a symphony conductor when he cupped his two hands then reaching into our present layer of universe, drawing them apart released the energy that began to grow this new layer of universe? What do we know of the expanse of his consciousness? Could we comprehend from our estranged logical processes as we watched his will forming objects from some sort of atomic dust? I do not think I will ever grasp the mind, the power, nor the love of our creator in this universe I presently reside.
So this author began to contemplate the meaning of Hell. It seemed uncharacteristic of this creator that demonstrated so much love to us during his brief visit, that he would desire eternal suffering. So how could this be? A place of torture? Eternal fire? Years passed and still I could not understand though I did grow to accept that if he told us it exists it must be true. Our Creator is incapable of lying. The lie is actually one thing he did not create. The lie was first formed by a warring leader in the layer or universal dimension referred to as Heaven, who’s name is Lucifer. Lucifer was not content with our Creator being the Master of everything. He brought into existence the idea of being his own master, ..his own god along with all the supporting logical processes we are exposed to in our world. Just to say not all logic belongs to the rebellion. The basic premise of science is to uncover the truth about observable matter and processes. It can be misdirected and become biased but that is more often the fault of men that choose to maintain a sort of narrowly focused methodology.
So here is the hypothesis the author of this blog presents for a place called Hell. I am not saying that it is the only possible explanation (how unscientific) but it is one I think worth considering and offers a potential reason why a loving Creator refers to it (Hell) as a real place. This requires a level of faith (belief) in the statement that there is a Creator and this Creator formed the atoms that in turn form elements that also form matter or material objects of all sorts. If this is possible (from another dimensional origin) and as the scriptures indicate, all things are formed by him and retain their physical properties by his will that they should do so… what would happen if his will was no longer present? If by his will the atoms are held together, the elements, everything.. then what if he withdrew completely from that universe to another? What happens to atoms without cohesion? If God stopped holding things together? So would that not be similar to a nuclear fire? Would that not be like the heat of a nuclear explosion? So then a place where the creator really never looks upon again, that he turns away from forever, would be nothing more than a layer of universe consisting of nuclear fire. For those who deliberately refuse to have anything to do with God, demonstrated by our rejecting him and crucifying him, there is only one option left. They remain in this present layer for eternity. A layer of universe the Creator never looks upon again. A layer that the fallen beings dwell and if they were truly the gods they thought they were might potentially make something of nothing, but alas, God who sees the future as clearly as the past and present has seen nothing was ever created ever again in this particular layer of universe that rebelled from him.
God didn’t create Hell to cause suffering but he did warn us of it’s existence. This entire layer of universe will eventually unwind into fire. Since souls have no expiration date they continue eternally. We have been provided a way to leave this present universe and transition to one that is paradise. Jesus has paid a great price to provide us a very real opportunity to escape. It comes by no act of our own other than to believe he came to us in human form and we rejected him. If we accept him and give our heart mind and spirit to him, he will become our eternal gateway to a new dimension, a new universe, a place in heaven that is paradise more lovely than this one we have ruined. “The preaching of the cross is foolish to those who perish, but for those who are being saved it is the power of God.” You need not do anything but trust and believe Jesus, Yeshua, Esho, is who he claims and read for yourself in the Gospel of John. Believe in his plan to return you to his eternal presence. Love him, he died for you, he alone is worthy. “He that has the Son has life, he that does not have the Son shall not see life.” Today there is time for us to chose the Son, and to receive the unmerited gift of life through Him. To pray is to speak to him. To speak to him in his name, he will hear you. Find a quiet place you may not be disturbed and speak to Jesus, Yeshua, Esho, now.
Focus on the words of Jesus Christ spoken in the four Gospel accounts by John, Mark, Matthew, and Luke. Our Creator personally delivered his Word at a great price.
Rev. 21 Verses 1 to 4 He will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself will be with them; [4] he will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning nor crying nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.
