Bible Study Help #9 ‘A Violent Overthrow‘ Abridged

Mat. 13:35 “...secret from the foundation of the world.”
Mark 4:22 “...nothing…kept secret, but…it…come abroad.” Until the Fig Tree Generation.

‘foundation’ = Strong’s #2602 N.T. katabole (kat-ab-ol-ay’); founding / foundation; figuratively, conception. From kataballo #2598 = to throw down (overthrow). Origin ballo = violent or intense. KJV – to throw (down).
‘overthrow‘ = Strongs #2647 N.T. kataluo (kat-al-oo’-o); from 2596 and 3089; disintegrate, (by implication) to demolish KJV – destroy, dissolve…overthrow, throw down.

At a time GOD calls ‘the beginning’, our Heavenly Father created all the souls of His children. Things were great! All of us, every soul GOD created since the beginning were there with Him. Satan was there too.
Ezek. 28:2 “...thou…said, I am a GOD…” Pride was his downfall.
28:12 “…thou…full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.”
28:13 “Thou hast been in Eden…thou wast created.”
28:17 “Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty…” He’s a looker.

Prideful Satan, one of the most intelligent and beautiful beings ever created, perhaps 2nd only to Jesus, contrived a scheme so convincing, that 1/3 of GOD‘s souls agreed to rebel with him. GOD put a stop to it.

Rev. 12:4 “...drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth...” ‘Stars’ = GOD‘s children.
Isa. 14:13 “...I will exalt my throne above the stars of God…of the congregation...”
Dan. 8:9 “...came forth a little horn…” ‘Horn’ = power. Satan’s power was the 1/3 that followed him.
8:10 “...waxed great…to the host…of the stars…”
8:11 “…magnified himself…to the Prince of the host…” Satan believes he is better than JESUS!

GOD condemned Satan, but didn’t want to immediately destroy all the children that had agreed to rebel. He loves them as any parent loves their children, regardless any poor choices in life. GOD devised a test to determine whether His children would again side with evil. Even souls that didn’t rebel would be included, GOD is always fair.

GOD destroyed everything from the 1st Earth Age. Even our memories of the prior age were removed to ensure everyone would be starting with a ‘clean slate’. No recollection of the prior Age forces a ‘choice’ for all.

Rev. 24:29 “...the stars shall fall from heaven…” A literalist might believe the universe will collapse.
Hos. 12:10 “I have…used similitudes…” When GOD gives His interpretation for something, we shouldn’t doubt His explanations If it doesn’t make sense to us, we are at fault, not GOD!
Rev. 1:20 “The mystery…The seven stars are the angels…” Living entities, not cosmic bodies.
1 Cor. 10:11 “…all…things happened…for…whom the ends of the world are come.” End of the 2nd Age. GOD teaches with mental pictures for understanding.

Mat. 15:6 “...ye have made…God of none effect by your tradition.” Church traditions void understanding.
John 8:32 “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” GOD‘s truth enlightens.
Isa. 55:9 “...so are My ways higher than your ways…My thoughts than your thoughts.” Not confusion.

2 Tim. 3:15 “...from a child thou hast known…” We know fallacious teaching makes no sense. We will be hated for waiting for the True Jesus instead of worshipping the false Jesus that will be in Jerusalem. Islamists, liberals, globalists, hate us already, but many that call themselves Christian will despise us as well, through false teachings. We have compassion for their lack of understanding. GOD‘s Word comes to pass exactly as written.

Mat. 24:9 “...and ye shall be hated of all nations for My name’s sake.”
If we understand Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 24, Mark 13, & Luke 21, we can also understand the test that’s coming. Satan has power over the physical world, and believes he will succeed! GOD has power over everything spiritual and He will succeed. GOD will judge everyone according to our choice. Live in the eternity or not, by our decision.

Isa. 48:16 “...I have not spoken in secret…” To understand, we must study for ourselves. GOD‘s emotions and pain at the betrayal of many, are displayed throughout His written Word, but He explained He will not repent [change his mind] on the complete destruction of evil. GOD has assured us, the 3rd Age will be even more beautiful than the 1st Age.

After the attempted overthrow, GOD destroyed everything living, and wiped the earth clean.
The end of the 1st Age was complete, even for the angels that sided with Satan.
2 Pet. 2:4 “...God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them…reserved unto judgment.” These 7,000 worked with Satan to deceive many in our spirit bodies. They’re not named but are awaiting judgment.

At the end of the 2nd Age, there begins a very short period of time [relative to eternity], called the Lord’s Day, aka The Millennium. Satan will be locked away, then loosed at the very end to test many once more.
Rev. 20:7 “...when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed…”
20:8 “And shall go out to deceive…the four corners of the earth…”
20:13 “...they were judged every man according to their works.” Not by faith, by their decision.

Heb. 12:26 “...He…promised…once more I shake not the earth only…” GOD didn’t shake Earth at the flood.
12:27 “…Yet once more…that…things which cannot be shaken…remain.” Understanding is unshakeable.

Most who understand have a compulsive desire to help those who can’t understand.
Mat. 18:20 “For where two…are gathered…in My name, there am I…” Truth outweighs faith in religion.
1 Cor. 15:44 “…There is a natural body…and a spiritual body.”
2 Cor. 5:8 “...absent from the body…present with the Lord.” We leave flesh, go back to GOD.

Side study: Geologist, A.L.Wegener may have gotten his depiction of the 1st Age pretty accurate with his Pangaean map. Proof of African animals in North America can be seen at the Ashfall Fossill Beds in Nebraska. After Satan’s violent ovethrow, GOD shifted the plates of the earth to divide the land masses.

A few links to observe a record of events from man’s limited perspective, not GOD‘s eternal perspective.

Tomorrow: ‘Fig Tree Generation‘ Abridged

THE DELIGHT OF DESPAIR
 
“And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead.” Rev. i. 17
 
It may be that like the apostle John you know Jesus Christ intimately, when suddenly He appears with no familiar characteristic at all, and the only thing you can do is to fall at His feet as dead. There are times when God cannot reveal Himself in any other way than in His majesty, and it is the awfulness of the vision which brings you to the delight of despair; if you are ever to be raised up, it must be by the hand of God.
 
“He laid His right hand upon me.” In the midst of the awfulness, a touch comes, and you know it is the right hand of Jesus Christ. The right hand not of restraint nor of correction nor of chastisement, but the right hand of the Everlasting Father. Whenever His hand is laid upon you, it is ineffable peace and comfort, the sense that “underneath are the everlasting arms,” full of sustaining and comfort and strength. When once His touch comes, nothing at all can cast you into fear again. In the midst of all His ascended glory the Lord Jesus comes to speak to an insignificant disciple, and to say – “Fear not.” His tenderness is ineffably sweet. Do I know Him like that?
 
Watch some of the things that strike despair. There is despair in which there is no delight, no horizon, no hope of anything brighter; but the delight of despair comes when I know that “in me (that is, in my flesh) dwelleth no good thing.” I delight to know that there is that in me which must fall prostrate before God when He manifests Himself, and if I am ever to be raised up it must be by the hand of God. God can do nothing for me until I get to the limit of the possible.

May 24th Devotional

Today I was handcuffed and put in a paddy wagon for offering students bibles on a public sidewalk in Calgary. I was released and told if I returned I would be arrested and charged. I continued handing out bibles. For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ.

Something old… Something new…

Good morning to all my 🌳house family!

~~~ WARRIOR WEDNESDAY~~~

There is this yellowed note in my bathroom as a reminder every day

The soul that is prepared
Lives in sobriety of the hour
And is obedient to the Spirit
In all things
So that when the hour strikes
One is fully aware
And ready.
11.30.96

Matthew 25:13 Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.

Stay armored up! I do believe that we are truly witnessing the last days.

Good morning Treepers

“He said go ahead and jump. Okay, here goes….”

Good morning to all in this beautiful Tree with many branches, one whose shade expands daily to cover us from the cares of the world and gives us momentary respite with friends.

Here I am starting the ball rolling with a smile…take it and spread it around to everyone you meet this day😊

ABSOLUTELY!!!! Yes!…times a million!

🙌✝️🙌

Good morning Friends, brothers, and sisters.

I continue to race to keep up my sustainable activity. Troubled by the crescendo and swell of the long and present war.

Growing in my ability to suppress fear and anxiety, choose calmness, stillness, joy, and gratitude inside. Seeking answers as to how to use my talent. Keep my family informed, and hopefully be an agent that fans the flame of God’s spirit inside them.

When did my loved ones stop listening to me and why, when my purpose was so clearly about Him
How could I have done it different – answering the call as a citizen, patriot, and appointed member of the royal priesthood
Without letting them fail to see that You are their Creator, their Rock, their Way, Truth and Life
When will the seeds I planted so carefully begin to fully germinate

The enemy sought to hijack my Children while I was trusting the community to be like it was when I grew up
They follow a different drum, fear paper tigers, miss the meaning of Life

Are the seeds still viable in them? Will they germinate. Many seeds by many others have been planted in their hearts and minds.

Will they ever know the power and strength they have in them?
Will they stop and listen to the still small voice of the Good and Dangerous Lion and Lamb
Will they one day submit to His Transforming power?

Where can I speak? Prune? Water? Where and how can I radiate more declaration of your Glory to them?
What nutrients can I add to the soil.

It is not for me to transform, Lord — only you can transform.
I trained. I taught. I demonstrated. I showed stumbling is human and recovery and perseverance Devine.
I introduced you to fellowship, demonstrated wise respect of Elders and Wisdom
Drew maps, offered discipline, demonstrated self discipline.

The snake was slithering, lying, deceiving. Hiding.
The bad Lion was lurking in the shadows seeking to devour
Those seeking to follow me and follow you, continue to be too complacent, to soothed, too distracted.
Hypnotized by the flickering tongue of the slithering snake.

I am powerless Lord, yet with you, I believe mountains can move.
Guide me in my weakness, fill me with your power. Just for today

Good morning all.

I always believed that alarmist “climate scientists” are generally whiny, entitled, wusses with very fragile egos. The kind that need a “safe space”. Now here is confirmation of that even the person that does not follow the climate change and green agenda wars can see:

Climate scientists flee Twitter as hostility surges (msn.com)

They cannot stand debate or even skeptical questioning. As much as they possibly can they only speak or write on media platforms and forums that support their crap and they can dodge any real debate or questioning of their claims.

But the fact is that Michael Mann and Kathrin Hayhoe and most of their ilk have long made it a habit of blocking anyone that questioned their claims on twitter or facebook, no matter how politely an intelligently it was done. Heck they even automatically block followers of prominent skeptics on twitter. I have no doubt they have blocked more people than they have real followers. And on their platforms and in the media the likes of Mann make a habit of casting dispersions on those very skeptics that they have blocked.

I don’t see how they can actually leave twitter. After all their primary function is to promote the scam. To attempt to lend credibility to it for those susceptible to appeals to authority and to reinforce the brainwashing of the minions that do follow them.

No internet in my area yesterday, for most of the whole day.

me thinks it might’ve been a test run for nefarious things…who knows. I dont trust ‘occurrences’ anymore.
