"The fighting in Syria gives them an opportunity to open a new front against Israel," said Hirsch. "We must be ready for turbulence. We must be ready for the Iranian involvement inside Syria. We must be ready to be able to fight against radical fundamentalist activities that will come from Syria, and that is what we are doing here."

A future with hope.

By Jack Heckathorne, Author of the book “Separation of Church and God”

“But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.”  (2 Peter 3:8)

Four thousand years elapsed from Adam to Jesus. Since the time Jesus was resurrected two thousand years have passed for a total of six thousand years. We know from prophecy of scriptures that there will be a one thousand year future millennial period.

“Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.”  (Revelation 20:6)

This will make a total of seven thousand years for the entire world’s history. Six thousand years of satanic rule and one thousand years of rest in a perfect environment under the rule of our King, The Lord Jesus Christ.

Satan has been given six thousand years to prove his worth as a god and has failed miserably. He has left behind a trail of death, hatred, destruction, misery, desolation, despair and an eternity of torment for those that were deceived by him. This also justifies God’s condemnation of Satan and the demons to the Lake of fire.

During the final one thousand years Jesus Christ will demonstrate to all demons, elect angels and every human being who ever lived, the loving virtues that only He, the one true God can possess.  

Creation

The seven thousand years of Earth’s history relates to the days six days of creation and the seventh day of rest. The days of creation also set the seven day week which we still observe.

“For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.”  (Exodus 20:11)

The Work Week

It was a command to the Jews to work in six days and to keep the seventh day Holy.

“Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you a holy day, a Sabbath of rest to the LORD…” (Exodus 35:2)

Jericho

In addition, six days refers to Joshua’s march around Jericho. The seventh day culminated in the destruction of the evil city by the Lord and giving it to the righteous.

“And the second day they compassed the city once, and returned into the camp: so they did six days. And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they rose early about the dawning of the day, and compassed the city after the same manner seven times: only on that day they compassed the city seven times. And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priests blew with the trumpets, Joshua said unto the people, Shout; for the LORD hath given you the city.” (Joshua 6:14-16)

Transfiguration

Jesus revealed his glorious resurrected body on the seventh day:

“And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them.” (Mark 9:2)

Jesus Healed on the Seventh Day

“And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath (seventh) day.” (Luke 13:14)

Supper With Jesus on the Seventh Day

Lazarus had the honor of sitting at the table with the man who had previously raised him from the dead.

“Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead. There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him.”(John 12:1-2)

A Jewish Covenant

“Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant. It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.” (Exodus 31: 16-17)

The New Jerusalem

“And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.“ And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.”

“And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. And he said, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. (Revelation 21:3-7)

If you have never come to a saving faith in Jesus Christ it is possible for you to be exalted as well but not in your current state of unbelief. At the moment the issue for you is:

“If you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” (Romans 10:9)

We, as believers in Jesus Christ, will not always suffer the indignities that the world has always hurled at us. The one thousand year millennium will be an unparalleled time of happiness, joy and peace and it is possible to be only seven years or so away, as we are definitely in the last days. The Lord destroys evil and gives the seventh day of one thousand years to the righteous and exalts them.

“He withdraws not his eyes from the righteous: but with kings are they on the throne; yea, he doth establish them forever, and they are exalted.” (Job 36:7)~

I have a lot of fun with big bang theory. It’s interesting (tragic and sad) but interesting to see what man comes up with and theorize how all this matter (energy) came to be, not to mention Time. From time to time they let you in but never revealing the whole truth. Because for them it would mean admitting the Bible was right all along. It’s only because the truth is not in them, but that’s ok because it means you still have a chance to witness.

Believing the Bible is correct is something they surely don’t want to do but I’d like to show you some things. Let’s look at a few points of what they are “really” saying but all the while taking God out of the picture.

1.      It is impossible under the limits known to man for something to come from nothing especially without a first cause.

2.      The universe and all that is in it must have been created by a process of some sort.

3.      The Big Bang, if it ever happened, is not a beginning, but could only have happened after the beginning.

4.      Energy, stored as matter, would have had to of come from somewhere before anything existed in order to produce everything, but we have no idea where.

It almost sounds like they are trying to explain God, without actually wanting God to be a part of it. Perhaps they are inventing a new god that’s not really all that new after all? What they don’t realize is that they are only getting closer to what the Bible says happened and not further from it as they hope.

“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 (existed) before all things, and by him all things consist.” Colossians 1:16-17

God has told us what took place. What is impossible for man is not impossible for God. God is not limited by man’s limitations. This first mistake they make in these theories is when they try to explain the creation of the universe “naturalistic” and without God. It is in this thinking that corrupts the ideas and brings about flawed “philosophical science”.

In this latest article it’s claimed the universe is now 80 million years older than previously thought.  Oh, that helps doesn’t it? On the scale they try to use this really means nothing.

( Source Article: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/03/21/universe-age-planck-space-probe-date-big-bang_n_2922818.html )

As if the 80 million years on the billions of years scale they use makes any difference.

What they are looking at is the “split second” after big bang. Here is what the article says.

“The findings released Thursday bolster a key theory called inflation, which says the universe burst from subatomic size to its now-observable expanse in a fraction of a second.”

“It says the visible portion of the universe was smaller than an atom when, in a split second, it exploded, cooled and expanded rapidly, much faster than the speed of light.”

Now wait a minute, now apart from a big “bang” this is exactly what the Bible says happened. You know it’s as if they want to borrow a page from the Bible and not give God the source credit.

This theory itself still does not explain where the space came from for the “visible portion, subatomic size” to exist in. It also adds another problem.

Since when does order come from chaos? The very idea of big bang tramples the laws we already know about. This is where man’s limited and flawed knowledge runs into some really big problems with its big bang theory. Because it still doesn’t tell you where it came from. Only that it was here and exploded. They don’t want to go into those details because it would absolutely break a few laws, as if it doesn’t already.

Law #1: Law of Conservation of Energy (link) that in layman’s terms says; Energy is neither created or destroyed but only changed from one state to another.

“Energy cannot be created or destroyed; it can only be changed from one form to another.” – Albert Einstein

“It states that the total amount of energy in an isolated system remains constant over time. The total energy is said to be conserved over time. For an isolated system, this law means that energy can change its location within the system, and that it can change form within the system, for instance chemical energy can become kinetic energy, but that energy can be neither created nor destroyed.” (source)

 Law #2: Second law of thermodynamics (link) The second law of thermodynamics states that the entropy of an isolated system never decreases, because isolated systems spontaneously evolve towards thermodynamic equilibrium—the state of maximum entropy. (source)

In layman’s terms “The Second Law of Thermodynamics states that "in all energy exchanges, if no energy enters or leaves the system, the potential energy of the state will always be less than that of the initial state." This is also commonly referred to as entropy. A watch spring-driven watch will run until the potential energy in the spring is converted, and not again until energy is reapplied to the spring to rewind it. A car that has run out of gas will not run again until you walk 10 miles to a gas station and refuel the car. Once the potential energy locked in carbohydrates is converted into kinetic energy (energy in use or motion), the organism will get no more until energy is input again. In the process of energy transfer, some energy will dissipate as heat. Entropy is a measure of disorder: cells are NOT disordered and so have low entropy. The flow of energy maintains order and life. Entropy wins when organisms cease to take in energy and die.” (source)

What all this is saying really is quite simple. We believe the universe to be a closed system that was created with a limited amount of energy. At some point it will all equal out into Entropy. That means disorder from order but never order from disorder.

Did you read that? If you take in food, that passes energy from the food to you by a process. But the food was never disorder (cells, atoms, etc) they are in order and made for your body. (That in itself should tell you something)

Now take it further back, the food was grown, say an apple from a tree. The tree is in order and where does the tree get its energy? Yes from order never disorder.  The tree takes in energy [matter] of a few forms and stores it in something you and I call an apple. This machine we call an apple tree sure seems like it was “designed” to give us little portable power cells for our body. Isn’t God neat?

But in the theory of evolution you can’t even begin to explain why the apple tree even exists.

Ok back to our topic of the Theory of Big Bang. Here is what the article said again.

“The findings released Thursday bolster a key theory called inflation, which says the universe burst from subatomic size to its now-observable expanse in a fraction of a second.”

“It says the visible portion of the universe was smaller than an atom when, in a split second, it exploded, cooled and expanded rapidly, much faster than the speed of light.”

Now let’s see what God had to say concerning his creation event. Let’s see how dumb these old timers of the bible are. Because I’m going back to some very old books of the bible. One of them a book of Moses you might have heard of called Genesis and another book called the book of Job. Considered THE oldest book in the Bible.

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth

Note KJV uses a singular “heaven” which is ok, because the root meaning of the world means from earth to the edge of the universe.

So let’s tear this verse apart. “In the beginning” It’s the Hebrew word {rê’shı̂yth} which means beginning as in “the beginning” then we have {ĕlôhı̂ym} it’s rendered God in English, but that doesn’t really give you the clear understanding of what is being said.

God { ĕlôhı̂ym} here is God as in plural. It’s not saying Gods as in many because the root word is always for the True God or a false god but never for more than one God. This word is talking about a single being, deity but in a plural form.  How could that be? When you take this in light of the Trinity that’s revealed in other parts of the Bible it makes perfect sense.  The Father, Son and Holy Spirit are all One God. Even what most Christians consider the basics of the Bible are wonderful to dig deep into.

The quick and simple version is God the Father. He is the planner, the master engineer if you will.  If you were to see Him it would only be His “Power and Light” that you would see. Humans can’t see him because they would be destroyed. The Father, along with the other two members of the trinity is the source of all power because the trinity is one God. God works this way so we are able to understand Him. God the Son, is the creator by whom all the physical things exist. When you see God it will be the Son, the God/Man and the mediator between God and man who you will see. He is also the one who releases the wrath at the Tribulation. Then you have the Holy Spirit which is the invisible ministry Spirit of God. His name describes His function within the Godhead. It’s the Spirit of God. When you do deeds in fellowship (1 John 1:9) this is called “Being filled with the Spirit” or “Led by the Spirit.” The deeds you do in fellowship are from “The Spirit of God” meaning that they are righteous and perfect as He is.

Now we have the word Created { bârâ’} the use of this word is very interesting for us. Because it’s placement in the sentence is very telling of a few things.

As Christians who have been in the study will never say God created the universe out of nothing. Even the very idea is illogical. God is not illogical but logical.  The idea that there was nothing and then something is silly at best. Everything there is had to come from something. That something is God.

“Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.” Hebrews 11:3

This is why the theory of Big Bang has a major flaw they simply can’t get past. In the mind you can get it down to a subatomic thing and like in this article understand the split second after “bang” but before this split second there is no theory because you end up saying something along the lines of “well now we have to figure out how it came from nothing.”

The whole idea was flawed because they believe the lie, that there is no God and then try to do experiments to try and prove it. But they only look silly when their folly is discovered.  I mean after all who couldn’t predict if you seal a ball up in a sterile environment life wouldn’t start. Now instead of a small ball, think of the universe as that ball. If it started out sterile with no life, it would do exactly the same thing as that little ball the scientist looked so funny trying to do.  How’s that search for life on Mars coming?

Mars is beside the point; even if God did put life on another planet it still wouldn’t destroy God nor make the theory of evolution any better. But, man is going to great efforts to try to prove there is no God. This has been going for a long time. Yet for the USA, this means teaching it to every school child as a fact. God have mercy on the parents, the teachers of false doctrines and all the leaders who push such things. If it continues, it’s only a matter of time until the nation is completely destroyed.

Back to our verse.  We now have,  In the beginning God created, are you starting to see something? In the beginning of what?  Well what is it God is talking about here? The very items He created, now what was that? It was the Heavens and earth. But this still isn’t clear and you are missing the whole thought of God in Genesis v1:1!

But why tell us about the “beginning”?  What began? Time had its beginning too and inside time, space [heaven(s)] was created.

Now about “earth” which is the word { ‘erets} but what is the context of the verse? God is talking about time, space and earth, correctly translated would mean “matter”.

Because this is a proper rendering of Genesis 1:1 God created Time, Space and Matter. 

Well we are almost there. “Created Time, Space and Matter. It still almost sounds like it came from nothing, as if there was nothing and God made it, this is true but it simply wasn’t “from nothing” because “nothing” is not GOD.  What is darkness? The absence of light! What is evil? The absence of Godly thinking.

It’s very simple, God didn’t create something from nothing. Think about this, have you ever made something? Ever built a shed? Did you get materials from nothing? Of course not, you had to get materials.

God had to get materials too. Ok that’s putting it in a way we humans understand it so hang with me. It didn’t come from Home Depot, but from GOD. All of the space and matter, and matter is just stored energy that came from God’s power. NOT from nothing.

While true “nothing” was in this place before what we now know as the universe but that again is just simply a way of saying “it didn’t exist before creation”. Nothing simply is not tangible. The reason why you cannot say “big bang came from nothing” is because it simply could not have happened that way. If something does not exist it’s not going to make anything. 

Genesis 1:1 GOD created, time space and matter.

This is why energy is neither destroyed nor created; it’s why we see this law in effect. Because God created the universe and all matter (energy) of it at one point. It was created from His Power.  True you could say “nothing” was there before, but that’s just saying time, space and matter of the universe simply didn’t exist. No problem. God has that power and has unlimited power. It’s though this power he created.  

About Big bang, no I do not subscribe to the theory. I believe it has many flaws that render it useless. But I do believe the universe was created small and then expanded, even expanded faster than light travels much faster in fact. This is a different way of thinking about it because “bang” requires and explosion. Whereas I’m simply saying God “designed” it this way.

“Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the LORD that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself.” (Isaiah 44:24)

Removing the idea of chaos making order, whereas if God designed it, He is imputing his order, set in time and then it degrades over time under the laws of physics.  The exact same way you build a shed and 30 years later it’s falling apart.

So let’s compare what man’s latest rendering of big bang says with God’s word.  

“The findings released Thursday bolster a key theory called inflation, which says the universe burst from subatomic size to its now-observable expanse in a fraction of a second.”

“It says the visible portion of the universe was smaller than an atom when, in a split second, it exploded, cooled and expanded rapidly, much faster than the speed of light.”

Now read

Psalm 104:2 The LORD wraps himself in light as with a garment; he stretches out the heavens like a tent

Isaiah 40:22 He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth, and its people are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens like a canopy, and spreads them out like a tent to live in.

So much for thinking the world is flat! If you go look into History it wasn’t the “Christians” who claimed the world was flat, it was the same people who claim something went “bang”…

Isaiah 42:5 This is what God the LORD says– the Creator of the heavens, who stretches them out, who spreads out the earth with all that springs from it, who gives breath to its people, and life to those who walk on it:

Job 9:8 He alone stretches out the heavens and treads on the waves of the sea.

Job 26:7 He spreads out the northern skies over empty space; he suspends the earth over nothing.

Now they say these “early” men were ignorant, but how is this information in the Bible then? We call these things “God’s signatures” and they are all throughout the Bible. It’s knowledge that simply shouldn’t have been there. Did God “stretch” out the universe in a fraction of a second? Sure he did!

But you can see how these anti-God so called scientists with the big bang theory don’t want anything to do with God, but will borrow from His Word to try and make their theory sound more believable. Because after all, who believes life will come from a sterile environment? This makes them sound like bad copyright infringers. God has the copyright on creation. Trying to copy it and remove God only makes them look suspicious. Because they talk about “something from nothing” and that is about the most illogical statement someone could make.

Now I’m sure someone who does their homework will see in Genesis 1:2 the word for “earth” is one Hebrew word but, in verse two is completely different. Now instead of matter (energy) of the universe it’s now speaking of a focal point for which God is now going to mold His awesome clay.

Whatever your position is, I promise you there is so much more to it than we might think. But, for these anti-God evolution scientists there is still hope of proving that there is a creation without a creator. Listen to what they said.

"We’ve uncovered a fundamental truth of the universe," said George Efstathiou, director of the Kavli Institute for Cosmology at the University of Cambridge who announced the Planck satellite mapping. "There’s less stuff that we don’t understand by a tiny amount."

Now I know what he was really trying to say, but I see God’s humor written all over this.

So now go study Genesis 1:1 spend some time there. There is a lot more there than what I covered here in v1 and v2 of Genesis 1.

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. (Hebrew e-artz)

In beginning he-created Elohim the heavens and the earth (Literal translation) 

Genisis 1:2 And the earth (Hebrew eithe) was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

And the earth she-became chaos and vacancy and darkness over surfaces-of abyss and spirit-of Elohim vibrating over surfaces-of the waters. (Literal translation)

“Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in there: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. (Matthew 7:13-14)

“For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. Look to yourselves,(see to it) that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.” (2 John 7-8)

Since the beginning it has been Satan’s Evil strategy to deceive people concerning Jesus Christ. Eve, for example, was deceived in the Garden of Eden and along with Adams help lost dominion of the world and brought sin and spiritual death into the world. All people became sinners and are in need of a savior.

We are born we are spiritually dead and can in no way understand any spiritual things of God except in that moment when God the Holy Spirit reveals God the Fathers salvation plan to an unbeliever. When a person believes in Jesus Christ his human spirit is made alive and he is then able to comprehend the things of God.

“And you hath he quickened (made alive), who were dead in trespasses and sins;
Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air (Satan) the spirit that now works in the children of disobedience (unbelievers).” (Ephesians 2:1-2)

“But the natural man (the unbeliever) receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.” (1Corinthians 2:14)

“For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God…(1 Corinthians 1:18)

Therefore, Satan and his demons have devised a plan that proceeds to deceive people before they can understand spiritual phenomena. He has numerous methods of deceit.

Religion, Satan’s Most Deceptive Tool

Religion is a worldly belief system that Satan has devised which teaches its followers that they can gain the approval of God by doing various things. This includes everything from killing everyone who disagrees with them to shaking a chicken when they pray. The fact is, there is nothing you can do to save yourself.

“Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us…” (Titus 3:5)

In reality, there are only two religions; the false one and the true one. The false religion is called by different names around the world and their works vary in order appeal to various cultures, but they are all from Satan. All religions distort the person of Jesus Christ and his teachings and some deny Jesus in total.

What Do You Worship?

Everyone worships something. For some, it is the true God of the Bible. For others it may be some false god. Still others worship people such as Mary or Mohammed and some worship idols. Even though Humanists and Atheists deny any God whatsoever they must believe in, and depend upon, the false philosophical science of Evolution as an explanation for their life and as their creator. It is their “god” and like every other religion that has a “god” of some sort, they are compelled by their beliefs to invent stories that deceived and gullible people will believe.

Many people are somewhat comfortable with their false religion because it is all they know even though it may not be rational. This is why Jesus instructed Christians to go into all the world and Preach the Gospel. The gospel makes sense when properly explained and the Bible has God’s power behind it. In addition, the Holy Spirit has a convicting ministry when the unbeliever hears the Gospel properly presented.

“There is a way (religion) which seems right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.”(Proverbs 14:12)

A Frantic Search for Happiness

Unless God makes you happy you will not be happy. Oh, you may receive some temporary gratification from various people or worldly things but when the new wears off you will not have that inner peace and joy that only comes from Biblical knowledge and a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Satan uses worldly things to lure people into thinking that they will be happy. If only they could find that right mate or if only they had more money or more possessions or whatever it is they lust after, they would achieve happiness. But, it is a lifelong trap that will never be realized. All this, of course, is an attempt by Satan to keep one’s eyes on the world and off of Christ.

“And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” (Romans 12:2)

“Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusts in thee. Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength…” (Isaiah 26:3-4)

“Happy is the man that finds wisdom, and the man that gets understanding.” (Proverbs 3:13)

Believing False Things

It is astounding what people will believe.

Athiests/Evolutionists: “We came from a nonexistent rock and the nonexistent rock came from nowhere all by itself.”

Hindu: “When we die we recycle as a cow until we achieve perfection” Hindus believe that no religion teaches the only way to salvation above all others, but that all genuine paths are facets of God’s Light, deserving tolerance and understanding.

Muslim: Mohammed said that Allah says that we must kill everyone who disagrees with us and be moral to gain God’s approval but of course, you can beat your wife.

Buddhism: “We must have virtue, good conduct and morality to gain God’s approval.

Scientology: “Man is basically good, and that his spiritual salvation depends upon himself, his fellows and his attainment of brotherhood with the universe and is based on mathematics.”

“But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily (in a sneaky way) shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.” (2 Peter 2:1)

“Beloved, believe not every spirit (demonically controlled false teacher), but try the spirits (through scripture) whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.” (1 John 4:1)

None of these, or any other religion, has a God/man as a savior or addresses the issue of the sin nature of man which prohibits man from living with God for eternity. All religions teach that man must do something himself (works) to gain the approval of God. Christianity is the only belief that teaches that man must be made righteous by God because of his acceptance of the work of God’s uniquely born son, Jesus Christ.

“For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” (2 Corinthians 5:21)

“Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” (Psalms 119: 103-104).

Visitors To Heaven?

Anyone who claims that he has gone to Heaven and was sent back to earth by God in order to tell everyone how great Heaven is undoubtedly is a false prophet or deluded. Heaven is a spiritual place. A human body cannot live in Heaven. Physical death is required to enter Heaven and a resurrected body is required to live there. In addition, a person only dies once physically. People who tell this kind of story are trying to get attention or sell books to gullible and unlearned people.

“Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God…For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.”(1 Cor.15,53)

“And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment. (Hebrews 9:27)

“But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.” (1 Corinthians 2:9)

“…And no man hath ascended up to heaven, except he that came down from heaven, the Son of man which is in heaven.”(John 3:13)

The Occult-Satan Worship

“Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils.” (1 Timothy 4:1)

The occult is actually Satan worship and is an abomination to God and everyone is instructed to avoid it.

“When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations. There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer (communications with the dead). For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee. Thou shalt be perfect (mature believer) with the LORD thy God” (Deuteronomy 18:9-13)

The World Systems vs. The Kingdom of God

The world systems are the opposite of what God wants man to be in his time on Earth:

“Regarding Truth the world system says it’s flexible, its relative, it’s personal, it’s gray areas The Kingdom of God says it’s absolute, black and white, belongs to God.

Regarding ethics the world system says they are flexible depending on the situation your facing. The Kingdom of God says the ethics of Christ are perfect and unchangeable good for every situation.

Regarding morality the world system says that it’s an outdated puritanical concept right and wrong is what I say it is. The Kingdom of God says that God’s eternal moral law is fixed perfect always for our Good and God’s glory.

Regarding Marriage and Sex the world system says try before you buy, anything goes. The Kingdom of God says make a radical, self-denying, unconditional love commitment of lifelong intimacies, and undefiled good sex.

Regarding finances the world system says dog eat dog do whatever it takes to succeed. The Kingdom of God says give unto others and it will be given to you, the proud will bed debased the humble exalted.

Regarding forgiveness the world system says hold a grudge demand your rights. The kingdom of God says deny yourself forgive as you have been forgiven.

Regarding love the world system says love yourself. The kingdom of God says love God with all your heart, and love others as yourself.” -Will Fowler-

Human Government

“When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.” (Proverbs 29:2)

Human government, languages and the nations were instituted by God at the time of the Tower of Babel because the entire world had become evil. The world was of one language so God confused their languages in order to separate the people into nations. Now there were many different languages. The people who could understand each other banned together and moved around the world and formed the various nations each with their own government.

Satan and the demons own and operate this world and over time Satan has taken control of the governments. They have become evil to the point of serving Satans goals, such as the efforts to destroy the gospel message and attempt the destruction of Israel through socialism, communism, Islam etc. True Christians are not a part of the world and the world doesn’t like it. However, God will protect and prosper certain nations and/or individuals when they live their lives in obedience to His word.

“I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.” (John 17:14-16)

“If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.” (Job:36:11)

Assumptions From Ignorance

“I would rather rule in Hell than serve in Heaven.”

If there was ever a stupid statement this is it. First of all, if you are unfortunate enough to end up in Hell, you will not rule anything because you will be in torments. At the end of earth’s history you will be brought up before God and condemned to a place called the Lake of Fire. You will not have a body. You will be a tormented soul. Hell is not going to be a big party. God gives you your entire lifetime to make one simple decision to accept and believe in His son Jesus Christ. He did all the work of salvation. Since God is the source of love, justice, truth, righteousness, eternal life and happiness you will have none of these in Hell or the Lake of Fire.

If you choose against Him you will be condemned, alone, miserable, tortured, totally helpless and lost forever without any hope of a reprieve. You had your entire lifetime to make a ten second decision to accept Jesus Christ as your savior and whatever flimsy excuse you have for rejecting Christ will not be accepted. You will be without any excuse and condemned at the Great white throne judgment along with the false prophets, Satan and his demons and all of the unbelievers in history.

In contrast, during the one thousand year millennial period believers will rule the world under the leadership of The Lord Jesus Christ in a perfect resurrected body. In Heaven they will have a mansion, walk streets made of gold and receive magnificent rewards for their obedience to the most high God.

“Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.” (Revelation 20:6)

Ego-Self Righteousness

Some people have an over inflated ego and actually believe they are so good in themselves that God will welcome them with open arms. Some believe that through their church they have achieved perfection with God’s help by doing rituals and going through the motions. As we have seen, (2 Corinthians 5:21) we do not make ourselves righteous in any way but rather we are made righteous when we accept Christ as our savior.

“As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.” (Romans 3:10-11)

Satan Hides Himself

Satan hides himself in the church, religion, drug addiction, the lust for money, sexual perversion, entertainment, materialism, many preachers, people, governments, places of education, books and so many more things. He makes these things look so desirable. Only through a true knowledge of God’s word can a person distinguish God’s good from Satan’s evil.

At times, it is not that difficult to see the evil of Satan, such as the holocaust, but in most things Satan hides himself until he completely controls your mind with attractive worldly things. Once he accomplishes this you will likely not want to turn to God because you will love the darkness more than the light.

“And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.”

There are two controlling entities in this world. One of them controls your life. The one true Biblical God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob or the god of this world-Satan. The true God offers inner peace and happiness during your lifetime and a home secured in Heaven for eternity. The false god offers misery, confusion and unhappiness during your lifetime and eternal torments forever. It is up to your free will as to which one you choose.

Even if you say that there is no God whatsoever you are worshiping Satan. That is exactly what Satan wants. He wants to keep your eyes off of the true God and he will use every device in this world to do it.

“The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble. My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.” (Proverbs 4:19-23)

“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” (James 4:7)
