Double Up
A second witness is the foundation of due diligence.
Two commandments.
Jesus was asked which commandment was most important, and he gave two.
Matthew 22: 35
Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,
First of all, we have a lawyer trying to set him up by trying to get him to say something provably wrong. So when this lawyer calls him "Master" don't think this person was being anything less than covert. He's trying to trick Christ. It's a tactic we all need to be aware of, and prepared for.
Matthew 22: 36
Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
Matthew 22: 37
Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
Matthew 22: 38
This is the first and great commandment.
For the ease of clarity you can safely update the words "thou" to "you", "shalt" to "shall", and "thy" to "your". It reads modern while keeping the exact same context:
You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.
The first thing he mentioned is all your heart. A kid doesn't know all the details and history of their dad, but the pure love for dad is obvious when he walks in the room. Our Father wants that relationship. Second mentioned is your soul, because that's what's on trial... trust him. He made your test, but also offers the path. Third is your mind, because that is your intellect. If your body is your hardware, your mind is your operating system (what you consume becomes your software). There are no virus' in heaven.
This doesn't mean a person has to become a fanatic, or take any extreme direction. It's not about how much you know as long as you're seeking and putting in the effort. Do you want to know? The more you learn will become evident by how you apply yourself within the scope of your life. Even the simple things. How you love your parents? Do you do your best to uphold the family name? Do you pass on your family values and obligations to your children? If you do these things honorably and honestly it's because even if you haven't read the Bible yet, if he is in you he is in you. Everyone will bloom from their own field when it's time.
Having said that, it is only through the scriptures that you can make sure you are loving the right entity. Yes there is only one God, but there are many gods trying to get your loyalty. Just praying to some force gains nothing. You have to crack the book, and it's through reading that the concepts, expecations, and obligations become clear. That's why we say the book is pregnant... with every read our understanding grows, and throughout time context is released. Nobody knows everything, but to learn more you need to pursue the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.
Matthew 22: 39
And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
If we all could treat others the was we wished we were treated there would be no conflict. How many of the rest of the commandments would be needed? Chase God, and chase doing what's right to the point you become charitable in your heart.
Matthew 22: 40
On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
On these two hang "all". That's A - L - L. These two commandments make the rest so natural that there really should be no questions. Everything the law gave and everything the prophets gave depend on these two. In the eternity they enable our diverse nations and cultures to exist peacefully. Jesus is the King of kings and Lord of lords. So that means there is more than one. There are other kings in the eternity. Everyone will root for their own country in the Olympics, but Jesus is on the throne in Jerusalem. I assure that is written in the hearts of every member of the eternity.
Two on paper.
How many Testaments? Two. The first recorded the law and prophets. The second is currently fulfilling the law and prophets under grace. Together they allow us to witness to each other, and rightly divide what is truth. For example, in the Old Testament's book of Psalms (meaning book of songs) the words spoken by Christ on the cross are written. Of course he knew the words because he was a student of the word, even in a fleshly sense. But why did he choose to quote the 22nd chapter in the old book? Because is details how the others around him would act at that exact time, and what they would do specifically. Things like how they pierced his hands and feet. How water poured out after they speared him instead of breaking bones. How they gambled for his garment.
The thing is that this Psalm 22 was written about 1,000 years before Christ's time. Sure Jesus could have studied his words but how could the others have mapped their roles to the very same details in the Psalm? Only God can do that. He knew the players... He created them, and watched them take their positions way back in the first earth age. He just had to get them in position and let them live their life.
The number of testimonies that support each other between the Old and New Testament create a bond tighter than any court of common sense would require. Besides if you removed either then the other it would be incomplete, and therefore any church teaching from one at the exclusion of the other has a false narative. It may sound a bit strong, but that doesn't change the truth.
Two on the cross.
How many people were next to Christ on the cross? Two. One for each side of the gulf to witness Jesus physically died on the cross.
While on the cross Jesus said to one person that "this day" he would see him in paradise. He didn't say he was going to hang out in a grave for three days and would catch up later. That's because all three went to paradise the instant they passed as written. He said that because to be absent from the body is to be present with the Father. If you're not here you are there. There is no between. You can further document that point in Ecclesiastes chapter 12 where it is written that after we die the dust returns to the earth and the spirit returns to God. No delay. At that moment where Jesus gave up the spirit is when his return to heaven happened. The same day they started all here together, and then saw each other in paradise. This is a double witness that Jesus experienced the cross to completion, and both sides have a defacto witness.
In Luke 16 both sides of the gulf are described. One side is rejoicing, and one side not very happy at all. They know they didn't make it yet, because when you return you get access to the rest of your brain (we use between 3-10%), they can see they are on the other side and know what that means. Both sides are in sight of each other. The one that confessed can see the one that didn't. Jesus went to the side that didn't make it and preeched. Most were those who passed before him, but some like the other guy on the cross saw him in person and still denied. They are all there.
But these are all still God's children. He himself is the definition of fair, and exemplifies justice to all when the dust settles. egardless of the part an individual was destined to play in the 2nd earth age. We are here to have our hearts tested. Each of us in a scenario that will reveal enough about us for a judgement! Let that sink in. However where you are in time, and what role you play does not define your eternity... how you played under your circumstances is the measurement of the soul.
How could a person before Adam's time know anything of God's expectations? What? Your church taught you that Adam and Eve were the first, right? No, wrong. Very wrong, and very sad. Or how could a person of Noah's time obtain salvation when Christ wasn't even born yet? How about Moses? His resume is pretty tough to beat, but he too was long before Christ. How about someone in China during the time of Noah's flood? What could they possibly know other than it rained a lot over there? Do you really think all those souls are wasted, regardless? This is why the first book of Peter documents while Christ was in the tomb He went to that side of paradise where he preached and gave them the opportunity to believe on him. It is written many did, and they got to cross that gulf. That's fair I think. Now you know where he was, and what he was doing during the three days his flesh was still in the tomb.
Those who think, teach, or in any way acknowledge "soul sleep" are spiritually asleep! Don't fall for this. It is not biblical. Christ just proved it. Mature in the word.
Two on the mount.
How many souls appeared with Jesus on the mount of transfiguration? Two. They witness to to the fact Jesus was transfigured. That means to change from the physical body to the spiritual body without leaving the carcass behind.
Transfiguration was done to Jesus as evidence he was Christ. It was done to Elijah out of God's love for how he played his position, and you can read how Satan wanted Moses bones. God wouldn't let him have them, so He took them. They provide a credible double witness that the very same was done to Jesus, and that his body was not stolen from the tomb. Most importantly this was done as an example to you how we will all change when Christ returns.
Want a little more? Christ's crucifixion itself was a double witness in that his body rested in the tomb for three days while he preached to the others that preceded him. That is a witness to you where the dead are, and it was a witness to those who already passed that he played the game as he said he would. After the three days of teaching in the prison his sould entered his body and he was transfigured as a testimony to his victory, and to further cross witness with Moses and Elijah. Wow. See how these building blocks nicely stack together! These waters may seem deep but they are very still if you don't splash around… just let it flow.
The Two Witnesses are next.
There were two witnesses in the wilderness in Moses and Aaron. Enoch and Noah were two witnesses before the flood. There were two angels that witnessed the Resurrection. Now in our day we will have the two witnesses described in the book of Revelation. The two witnesses and their details are covered in chapter 11. In short they lead the charge of God's warriors that stand against this upcoming attempt of Satan's to present himself as Christ. Did you catch that? I just want to make sure, because it is written that the world will whore after him.
You can turn to chapter 11 right now and see the description of a real world event that is about to happen, and has not happened yet. But as the things you see happen map to the descriptions in that 11th chapter... let it sink in that the book of Revelation was penned in roughly 95 A.D. We're talking almost 2,000 years before the fact. Hey, isn't that kind of like a double witness to how Psalms 22 was penned 1,000 years before its facts. A few more of these and you will see why I call this book "reality" and I find "faith" something to graduate from (belief in something not proven... mine's proven).
The intriguing thing about the two witnesses is that they are not named. As a result there is much speculation about who (or what) they might be. Some people think that Moses and Elijah are the two witnesses. After all we know they appeared with Christ on the Mount of Transfiguration, but I propose that's because they are Christ's evidence of transfiguration. So my supposition is that those two already played their positions in the realm of this human experiment. Their spirit however will live on and inspire many.
Separate soul and spirit.
To get an oversimplified view on the difference between soul and spirit I would think it's safe to consider the spirit as the unction before you act, as well the aura in the room after you leave, or the inspirational affect you have on others. Everyone has a spirit. That's different from the entity we call a soul. The soul is your mass. It's always present within the confines of your body. That's your fleshly body while here, or spiritual body back in heaven. The spiritual body is the one capable of eternal existence, and the fleshly is the limited version we get for participation in this earth age. It comes from the dust and returns to the dust.
Your soul is your entity, and is always intact. You can't carve a little of it off and hand it out to others. When you leave the room your entire soul leaves the room. When life in the flesh stops your soul returns to the Father. Whereas when you leave the room your spirit still can inspire those that are there.
Some spirits are of the darkest kind and they have the ability to linger here on earth long after their soul has returned. Even centuries. The point is these familiar spirits are here and are able to influence others. To some it might be a voice in their head. To others it might be the spirit pretending to be a long lost relative. Who do you think the mediums are talking to, and why God says not to summons them. We'll there's a double witness they exist. One from the mediums who don't believe in God, but know they exist, and one from God himself saying not to mess with them. Why wouldn't he want you to comfort your heart with communication from a loved one? Maybe he knows where the loved one is, and who the medium is talking to isn't?
The good news is these spirits can be sent back to their owners if it's done in Christ's name, and how we handle it. Be careful though, because a spirit strong enough to take over a person (possession) would surely handle anyone not founded in the Word.
Elijah's spirit was promised.
It was promised that the spirit of Elijah would be present in the end times. That's different from actually being here. If so then he would come to this earth age twice, and that breaks the rules (more or less). The only ones that come more than once are God (creation, garden, Melchizedek, Jesus, Christ returned), Satan (Garden, Job's time, Jesus' time, Anti-Christ - 6th Trump 6th Seal 6th Vial - 666), and the fallen angels (days of Noah, the five month period that starts just a few days after the two witnesses assume their roles. Wait, what? Exactly. They are coming back.
In our spiritual body we are neither male nor female. We are all children of God as adults with our same dispositions. It's what makes us free individuals. But here in the flesh there is this procreation and heritage thing that we must play out. Some of the souls that come here are very much the servants of God, and some of the souls are very much the servants of Satan. It is proportionate to where individuals stood in the first earth age. We can trace back to the garden of Eden where it was established that both the good side and the bad side have a heritage of flesh. And that propagated the planet along with all those from the 6th day. Wait, what again? If your church can't explain this you need to run from them fast. This is very basic info, and to understand this concept requires knowledge of several other primary tenets in order to keep the big picture clear. This is why Christ said the church is milk fed, and they need meat! They need to be taught the basics all over again. Why would he say that?
Seriously, if what you are reading here is in direct alliance with what Elijah emphasized... then there is another prophesy coming to pass before your eyes. Not me or what I'm saying… I'm just a reporter from the field. But I did get it from somewhere, right?
Is it here?
Where did I get my information? How can I claim facts under Elijah's spirit? I sure hope I can represent and show myself inspired by him but I wouldn't put myself in a position as representing him on the level described… an actual role. In this life I have three purposes:
to be a student, to be a witness, and to serve.
I surely would consider myself lucky if I could study under Elijah in the eternity, and I think I could be a good student, but the role that is being filled under his prophesy is much bigger than how I scribble these notes in hope to pull just one of you out of confusion. I'm still learning every day, and I'll never quit. That's both the time and earnest study to get clarity. It takes time, and it never ends. I didn't see this all the first time I read the Bible. I had to be taught how to read with discernment, and be able to separate fact from fiction (or meaning from tradition).
This is much different from being told what to read, or what to think. Each of us needs to develop our own reasoning skills, and to reach conclusions based on understanding something instead of just being told something. There is a very fine line between cults and today's church, and I think the biggest sign of which your in is if you are taught how to handle your Bible as a research tool, and encouraged to question the teachings.
I can say that my church will be given cult status even though the platform, motives, and every other evidence shows different. We are exposing the details the dark side doesn't want you to know.
The majority of others may be looking for a Satan to arise from the people, whereas the storyline shows how a supernatural entity will do the deed. This separates those who are called out of confusion from those that will follow suit as written. Wow! Is this real enough for you yet? The majority of souls have no clue what is about to happen. I guess that's why we call it faith… one word to describe belief in something that doesn't seem tangible enough to grasp, or to equate with reality. Most importantly, in our society something that excuses one from justifying their position. That doesn't work once you've seen the inside.
The two witnesses are here.
This is a testing of faith against the avalanche of man's self-proclaimed reality. It will definitely be tested when Satan is here trying to woo the world into believing he is Christ. During that same time the two witnesses will be confronting Satan about his claim…
How could two humans challenge this supernatural entity with his entourage? Two people armed with the Word… I mean armed with the Word that describes their very victory… are not going to have any problems fulfilling their roles. Since we entered the fig tree generation in 1948 the people of that generation have aged quite a bit. It is written that once Israel became a nation again all things written would come to pass before that generation passed. That means we're pretty late in the game.
The two witnesses of our time will most likely be adults groomed for their position in a secular way (like how Moses was Egyptian trained). My supposition is the two witnesses are alive and with us now. This is going to be a global series of events, and it will usher in the Lord's Day. It will begin 3 1/2 days after the two witnesses are killed by Satan, and their bodies are left in the street so nobody can say they were taken (like Christ in the tomb according to some). But when they rise and everybody sees... Oh, sorry, you should read that in Rev 11. It's a great ending!
It is written the two witnesses will be able to move mountains and control weather? Well this is in Revelation where symbolism reigns. The use of mountains is used to describe nations. Just like the use of seas describes people, horns are power. So I don't think it's too much of a stretch to consider weather as the atmosphere or climate of human behavior. If moving a denomination is figuratively moving a mountain, then such a dynamic power is sure to charge the atmosphere.
The truth as witnessed by these two will provide you with the documentation you need to reconcile your own mind. It doesn't matter what angle you take, these two will expose your doctrine, and prove who's doing the deceiving. That's why they are the two witnesses! Your own groups will encounter tremendous strife as you debate the positions, and the group chooses to follow Satan. Who among you will stand up to represent the Father's side after recognizing the two that were written about so long ago?
They will expose.
Don't forget that Satan is coming to claim your church as a block of card-carrying members, so when you see the two witnesses they will surely have your safety in mind. Don't be surprised if they correct many of the sidetracks that have pulled today's churches out of step with family (even if they are well behaved and inspiring citizens). Their challenges are going to frustrate a lot of people that feel they are doing it God's way (so to speak). This is going to crush multitudes that see their traditions undressed and floundering in shame.
For example there is a church or two that claim to exorcise the "gifts". These are often referred to as charismatic churches. Many of them practice and accept a language that only a few can understand. It's called speaking in tongues. When I witnessed it someone blurted out a string of phonetics during group prayer. Then another person in that room stood up to translate... because only one is supposed to understand and interpret for the group. One speaks it, another interprets it, then all believe it. It is viewed as a gift people strive for in their church. Step in the two-witnesses who have a global stage to explain how people who claim to speak in tongues cite the New Testament in a section where spreading the word to different nations and peoples is being discussed. Of course you need a translator or nobody will know what you're sharing.
This is very different from the tongue spoken on the day of Pentecost. That was when one spoken word was heard in the individual dialects by each person at the same time. That's far from what today's church is doing. In fact it's the opposite. Who's the opposite of God?
Now the deeper questions surface… What tongue is it they speak? What spirit is in the person that was able to understand that babble? What if this supernatural entity I keep warning you about speaks that same language? Who is the real leader of these charasmatic chruches?
This is reality. We can dismantle biblical fraud with basic common sense. Let me be very clear about this. People who follow (or feel empowered) by this false doctrine of tongues are going to toss scripture at you to say I'm wrong. Check them closely. Their facts are a Samurai's short blade not his sword.
Most players stay on their team.
When Satan comes he will easily speak that babble/foreign language, and those in his church will respond. Let that settle in your mind. His church will respond. They may think they are pursuing Christ. He will fly a Christian flag. This is one of his tactics. He will giggle with others and they will respond. The setups are all over. Don't be surprised to see a knights of the roundtable featuring all of today's super preachers. Oh, and they each have a castle in the country of their choice.
Satan has us right where he wants us… divided. It's much easier for him to control outcomes that way. I'm pretty sure the members of opposing religions will have some delusion straight from Satan... Wait, what? No. Satan deceives. God sends the strong delusion to those who don't care or are luke warm. You don't wan't him against you...
There is one residing fact that weights heaviest on Satan's mind… he knows it is written in Revelation chapter 9 that he only has 5 months before the game clock for the age of flesh expires. He has 5 months to convince the populous that he will be our leader. Please do your math carefully when you come to this crossroad. Nonetheless I understand. That's why I didn't title the paragraph most players come out of confusion.
We will be on our team.
When those who stay true to Christ are delivered up to testify they will not speak. It will be the Holy Spirit that speaks through them just like in Acts chapter 2. That's the cloven tongue heard by all in their own language. It will be a direct communication between God and the accuser, who is Satan. Our testimony won't be something memorized, read, or recalled. Imagine the true Holy Spirit speaking through these people as a last warning to you. You will know this is a fact because I'm telling you now what's going to happen later. This is that tongue which was spoken on Pentecost day. There was no interpreter there either. There will be one mouth, one speech, and thousands of custom ears. When this happens consider how could I tell you about it now unless it was always true? Maybe then you will start to ponder everything else I've been striving to exemplify.
If the exposure of today's fake charisma conflicts with your faith then you might want to start planning how you will explain yourself to the Father when the subject comes up. I mean, you did read this far. Even if you didn't get it in your church you at least were warned here.
There is a team that comes together to play in the greatest event of time, and there are a multitude of teams that are going to become cancerous to their entire heritage and fall drunken into the hands of the Desolator. Don't be in one of those groups. Come out of confusion... that's your reality.
What angers God?
Let's go deeper and clarify the intensity and direction of the anger that will be seen by all on the face of Christ (who by the way is often taught to be only love for all people unconditionally). Of course Christ came in peace the first time. He was so happy to be with all of His people regardless of their pedigree. His plan is salvation. The partakers in his plan are whomsoever will. But many of today's card-carrying Christians think he never got mad, or should I say he always turned a cheek. This is far from the truth. As a spiritual adult among children he maintained his temper. He knew his fish were doing the best they could in the waters of their time.
When did Christ get most angry? He went to the temple for worship and was confronted by an onslaught of, let's say, money driven scams and empty doctrine. You know, buy these sparrows and set them free. Make your public donation here. These guys had ways to milk the congregation coming and going. Christ said they turned His temple into a den of thieves. How was His temper then? To use a modern colloquialism he was pissed. But did He kill anyone? No. Did He ever leverage Godly power to hurt one of His people struggling to play the game? No. Even the fools who ran the schools lived to the end of their days.
Bad Doctrine.
Compare the lifestyle of the lady by the well and what lead to her 6th man is it? Compare her to the discipline and structure of the church leaders… yet whom did Christ show compassion and whom was the focus of his angry outburst? What makes you think it will be any different when He comes back? Revelations even tells why He found fault with 5 of the 7 churches… And it tells us what the other two churches did that ensured they were found without fault.
What angers God is that He laid it all out and churches are blind to the content, or they take His word and twist it to their purpose. What do you think enabled Satan to even plan an overthrow? It was the words they read from scripture, and how he twisted them. Verses could be pronounced with accuracy, but the context and how it pertains to our reality was missing. They were lyrics without a tune (otherwise they would have known who Jesus was).
One of the biggest fattest facts you can ever grasp is that the mechanism of the church was the primary vehicle used to keep God's children from truth. It is most often manifest innocently by doctrine that is misleading to those who are seeking. This is consistent throughout our time. It makes no difference to the victim if the educator acted with intent or not, with love or not, as instructed by spiritual unction or as directed from the governing institution. What matters to the victim is they trusted the one they received inspiration from.
Intention isn't on trial, facts are.
Most churches mean well when they come to the crossroads that forces them to break away from their parent organization (have you counted the denominations lately). Most families mean well when they drag you into church every Sunday to learn of your affiliation. In some points of our history these people might have been chasing the best viable option at the time. At this point in our timeline the churches have cultivated an extremely large crop of law abiding citizens that have earnestly developed their inner person in a positive direction. But there is some discernment that would challenge the very foundations of the system that brought them up. Is this possible? If so what changes?
Just what is the responsibility to the gardener with poisonous mushrooms? To cultivate takes time, planning, effort, and commitment. To be confronted with a poisonous fact, and then let horticulture pride stop accurate discernment is the foundation of deception. That IS how people get tricked. The gardener thinks his mushrooms are great. He may have built up a resistance as he nibbled in his time, and I'm sure he'll defend his garden to the death. After all it is how he makes a living. If the gardener eats his mushrooms alone, so what? It's the fact he is mass-producing and selling these things under some organic label that compounds the responsibility.
Whether acting in full awareness of the facts, or out of pure ignorance due to the chain of command... the net is the same. It's just a matter of depth. You tell me how deep you want to go? It does not matter what your intentions are if you lead people to the false one, and it matters even less what your intentions were if you choose to follow the one that appears in the midst of the week yourself.
