Welcome to BaTora
Non-denominational commentary on what is written for our time.
In BaTora we will unlock a context that has always been in the scriptures, but was prepared for our time. It's not in one book, but a key that unlocks all books while giving them a unity that can't be faked. But just to be sure you know such information can exist, Daniel recorded detailed information but it was over his head. When he asked for an explanation he was told it wasn't for his time.
Daniel 12: 9
And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
So the message is there, but the context was not for their time. However it had to be recorded then as evidence for us now that the entirety of the book is not only valid, it's capable of releasing information as the Holy Spirit allows. That is how the Father reaches his own, and that can't be gleaned unless one consumes the book.
This is also why Jesus taught in parables. He said the same words that everybody heard, and anyone today can pick up a Bible and read the same words. Denominationalism makes them blind to what the called receive.
Matthew 13: 13
Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
I understand the context here isn't commonly taught, and it's true those mega church systems are built on the backs of really big scholars. But this isn't about their purpose. This is about your personal purpose, and helping you break free of traditions by picking at the truths we're about to go through. Nothing is a secret code... it is very much there in the open like the camoflauge of an owl against a tree. Today's churches do not teach this, because it was not "released" to them. It simply is not in their vision or focus. They have their internal tests, and sadly they will usher their congregations to the wrong side when it counts most. In fact out of the seven primary churches only two are pleasing to God when he returns, and this is what they had in common:
Revelation 2: 9 (church of Smyrna)
I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
Revelation 3: 9 (church of Philadelphia)
Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
He's specifically talking about the Kennite. The Kennite's are son's of Cain, and knowing how this came to pass unlocks all the major questions religion and science battle over. And it's tied to the parable of the fig tree which locks in the generational timing of the second coming. This is exactly what Jesus was talking about when he said:
Matthew 24: 32
Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
The summer is the Hour of Temptation (end times climax), and at the end of summer is the harvest. Matthew, Mark, and Luke all record that everything written will happen before that generation passes away, and that generation was established in 1948 when Israel became a nation... Now you know why it's so heated over there.
Matthew 24: 34
Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
Mark 13: 30
Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
Luke 21: 32
Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
This includes everything written in Revelation. That means the odds are if you are reading this you will see these events unfold. Every soul has to be tested, both good and bad. We all face the same test, but we have choices to how we respond. That is the only way a test can be fair to all. All sides will be present, and this is why Jesus said:
Matthew 13: 30
Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
That harvest is rapidly approaching. The tares and wheat look the same until it's too late. It all looks good in the beginning, but the more you dig the more clear it becomes. I started writing this in my 30s, and I will always be in the process of polishing both grammar and explanations. Plus I bounce around the different sections as things pop up or time permits. It's always in need of reproof, but a student's effort is never over.
Every church is sincerely claiming to present you with what they believe to be the truth. It is their doctrine, and their content is easy to digest if you are a member of their group. That becomes a synergy that is both hard to break free of, and even more difficult to dispute with. Since not all churches can be right it is up to you to discern what is real. This isn't to take away from the good any given church does, but to provide a template that allows any church to get its congregation ready.
I always believed in God, but I also knew that everyone had their own idea about who, or what, God is. Plus all the different religions, etc. It's very easy to take the crutch of "nobody knows". I agree nobody knows everything, and no man can wrap his mind around the depth of God, but the scriptures do give us enough information to know what he would have us understand. Denominations are how people pick sides on what they interpret. That's why I don't represent one. We take the word as the word, and if our template doesn't contradict itself we have a tangible foundation. That foundation is what exposes the denominations, because it calls out the misunderstandings. Take the rapture for example. It was not even a concept until 1830, and now look how many people bought into it. So our template will either endorse it or expose it. I'll give you a hint... it gets exosed. Along with speaking in tongues, Easter, and several other details that you may or may not be a part of. That is some of the fruit of doing homework, but it is not the purpose of the homework. We are after that cohesive template that proves consistency of doctrine. That's how in the end you will find this work stands the test.
When I was young I was in the military, so I have had the chance to visit several different churches, and religions. When I lived in Tahoe I settled in a wonderful church that was full of terrific people. I truly thought I was on the yellow brick road. My work had me on the road often, so I became familiar with several of the different church radio shows on the AM dial. It was a great experience. I really felt a spiritual growth. I felt I had found a home.
A few years later I moved to San Francicso, where I came across the Shepherd's Chapel on late night television. I gave my best to challenge what I heard, because I was at least a black belt in Christianity. I don't know if it was the clarity of the message, or the command the ex-Marine teacher, but for two hours a night I took in their broadcast and matured in the word.
Unfortunately, part of my maturation was coming to the reality that my own denomination was playing a critical part in the negative side of the end times. How could this be? These were my friends. I loved them like family. I tried to bring it to their attention, but who was I? They had their years of experience, and their founder was a charismatic leader. Who would believe me that he was a proponent of tenets that will ultimately lead the congregation to deception. They believe they were cruising down God's own driveway, as I did when I was with them.
My church didn't want to talk about the details, so I started to write about them. Before I knew it I had over 100,000 words on the subject. Now easily twice and in several different iterations, and it will get more polished with age.
I hope you enjoy this work, and I hope you send in the questions you have. You very well may be the one who explains these things to your loved ones and church. You would surely be familiar with their path. Grasp this context and you can feed more than 5,000 with just one fish.
