Scripture and science do a beautiful dance that witness to each other. That dance reveals the evidence you're going to need in order to reconcile what you've been taught, and what we're about to go through.
I will always be a student, so I will always refer to his as my homework. Nobody knows everything, but we all should know enough to see what's coming. It's a time known as the hour of temptation. Sharing my homework has nothing to do with your salvation. That's purely between you and Him. I already know that there are points here you will disagree with. I don't even care about those details, because they will answer in due time. I have no interest in making you see something if you're not interested. I'm just trying to warn you about what is in store for us. In doing so the details everyone has been taught will bubble to their own surface. Everyone is going to have something, but this addresses them all with context consistency. I am non denominational, but I believe in God through Christ Jesus.
As you find things you differ with I ask you mark it, and set it aside for a bit... see how it fits within the whole. It is that consistency that provides the conviction people require to challenge their own beliefs. One or two points that apply to you is a small sample size. I get it. I went through it. I watched the context steadily knock down the denominational details, and at some point I had reason to challenge my core as taught by my church. If your heart is sincere the scriptures will unlock what was set aside for our time.
For most we're just talking about a course correction. A simply alignment towards true North. Everyone comes from a different starting place. I sincerely hope you are really happy with your church, and hopefully the love of the Lord is present. If you follow Jesus you're doing what you should. In the end the denominational differences are a distraction, but the danger is these differences act as blinders to truths we should know. It's not about who's right? It's about what they aren't teaching you that leaves you vulnerable. They have a doctrine you'll never be able to change, so as you see the things come into focus, and as the Holy Spirit releases knowledge in your studies, you are becoming the one who can answer their questions some day. I'm not trying to pull you out of your church, but give you information that you can use to help pull your church out of confusion. They may have one heck of a service, but they aren't getting you ready for the hour of temptation. Most don't even know what that is... and that's a very vulnerable position these days.
As my homework this is in a constant state of revision (hit refresh regularly). I started in my 30s, and I've gone through a lot of different phases. There's always going to be a few mistakes or typos that need to be addressed. It is my goal to comb through and bring everything up to speed. I will never be done trying to polish the content. We all learn new or deeper things each time we study. That will drive the refinement of this content in an effort to make explanations easier to follow, along with clear and accurate documentation.
What's inside?
There are five separate sites below. One is as simple as one page, while others are several hundred pages. They all present the same context, but from different perspectives. They each contain details to the topics we need to reconcile. To support my suppositions I have a diagram, slideshow, commentaries, a short fiction, and a novel fiction.
Plan of Salvation
Here is a single picture that summarizes the context implied throughout my works. While nobody can simplify the depth of the scriptures into one image, it is possible to layout the framework that proves consistency in concepts, and to clarify the teachings people dispute.
One of the "mystical" things that leads down a variety of rabbit holes is the concept of different levels of heaven. But in reality it is one of the simplest things to correct. There is one heaven and one earth, but there are three epochs, or segments of time. We are in the time of the flesh. The result of this one piece of knowledge unlocks tons of teachings. There was a time before. We have enough artifacts to prove dinosaurs were here, and I have seen the evidence in the Colorado hillsides myself. Yet we have churches that demand you accept the earth being only 6,000 years old! The Bible doesn't say the earth is only 6,000 years old, it says the earth was prepared for the flesh time in that span... just like after the millennium when God restores the earth for the eternity. There is one earth and one heaven, and together at the same time they experience three ages:
1) The time before, which had the dinosaurs.
2) The time now, which is our souls in the flesh.
3) The eternity, which starts after the Lord's Day.
Cut 2 Chase
Cut 2 Chase does just that... it's a slide show that will walk you through all three ages. It will seem unreal, but rest assured not one slide is in there without biblical support. I would love to get it on the schedule to help it bloom with links and scriptures.
The first earth age was the time of the dinosaur. This was when the earth was created. The details are spread throughout the scriptures. Job 40 describes the brontosaur beautifully. It's the only animal that fits the total description. And what was his point in talking to Job at that moment? He was talking about the beginning... the real beginning. It ended at Satan's attempted overthrow. That war is the Katabole. Satan pulled 1/3 of the souls to his side, and God ended that age.
The second earth age is the time of the flesh. Rather than destroy 1/3 of his children we are all charged with being born of the water as an innocent baby, whereby we would grow up influenced by our family and friends, but with the same full free will that lets the real you come out. This time in the flesh is a pop-quiz for your soul, and every human being has a test appropriate for them.
Then semi-end of this age is when Christ returns (after every soul has had a chance for conception). The last 5 months before his return is the hour of temptation. At his return we all transition back to our incorruptible body (which still looks and acts like you), and we will begin the millennium. This is the LORD'S Day, and it's 1,000 years of teaching. At the end is the Judgment.
The third earth age is the eternity. Those who didn't make the cut will have been blotted out of the book of life at the judgment. Blotted out means erased like it was never there. It's not a name with a line through it. You will never know who doesn't make it, so you will never pain or morn for anyone.
BaTora
BaTora is my core think tank. It contains a collection of chapters that have grown into some well documented studies, a section responding to perspectives held by others, and a collection of memes to help get some points across. It's where I spend most of my time.
I view religions as the result of what the traditions of man have cultivated. There's enough conflicting information that it's impossible for them all to be right. The big three (Judaism, Christianity, Islam) share a common heritage, but are violently separate. And unfortunately, there is enough division between the Christian denominations that I have a hard time accepting the blind faith required to sustain their doctrine. They are arguing over the truth. They have their perspectives, but all of them are chasing the truth. I believe a truth is out there. I also believe that answer is in the scriptures.
There is a context that unlocks the scriptures, and exposes how the majority of churches as teaching traditions instead of what was intended to be known. That context does not take away from the hearts and efforts of their church body, but it does create a nasty blind spot. These groups are going to be totally taken by surprise as things unfold, and only those who wake from within can reach their loved ones. I share my homework to make you aware so that you can help.
The fact is I believe in God very much. I just do not believe how the denominations explain it. I have seen the Bible prove itself over and over. It's clear to me that both history and science are required to reconcile the scriptures, and if something doesn't fit all three then something isn't right. There is a tangible union between the scriptures and our reality. I'm talking about a spiritual reality that does not demand the belief of something just for the sake of believing. It must be supported by both science and history. Accurate interpretation demands there be no division between science, history, and God's word to reveal a truth. Moreover you can use two sources to correct the third, and all three will have revelations that ultimately give you the foundation to say "I get it!"
RPG - Roll Playing Game
RPG describes a next level gaming platform. It's a fairly quick read. The purpose is to map a concept out for those who grew up with technology (maybe played a game or two). It gives a known context relevance to a potential Biblical adaptation. Sometimes people just need a different angle separately from all the noise around them to see what they need to grasp.
Everyone who remembers Pong was blown away when PacMan came out. As the technology got better the games got deeper. 8 bit to 16 bit, next to 32 then 64. Each jump was a substantial increase in the user experience. Now the technology is so realistic it's used to replicate real world scenarios for training as well as entertainment. In just over 50 years we went from a black screen with one white dot and two white paddles that can go up and down only to flight simulators for training our pilots, or operation simulators for training our doctors.
Our level of technology is at the level we have been able to build from scratch, meaning that when we are born we have no knowledge, and then we contribute to what others before us built. However, that does not mean we are the peak of tech. Job, Ezekiel, Elisha... they document a technology that lets the souls in heaven come here and return. That's what they saw, and those vehicles exist, even though we are stuck just trying to move around our earth. RPG projects a platform that takes our gaming trajectory and empowers it with a technology on the level those three witnessed. That's a lot deeper than life being a simulation.
Wine Thief
Wine Thief is a fictional story based on the events we are about to experience. It starts off with a bunch of friends and their typical social activities. When they experience something together that can't be explained it starts their journey of discovery and survival.
There is no way to predict the exact details of how this all unfolds, but there is a lot of scripture and events that provide a reasonable structure to project a potential story line. For example, we know the two witnesses will be here before the Antichrist comes to power, but there is speculation on who these two are. Many think it's Enoch and Elijah, or Moses and Elijah. However there are also people who believe it will be two humans on earth, and even some who think it's the Old and New Testaments. Regardless of who they are we still have known conditions and a timeline that is scriptural, and Wine Thief sticks within those constraints.
There is enough information to allow the reader to gain understanding, but in an environment that is more entertaining than core study. It will give the foundation to recognize what's happening when it starts. No matter how it's laid out, unless the reader has an interest in the subject matter it can become challenging to take in. That's an advantage of using a parable. It's a teaching tool to help a person gain context. It's also one of the most challenging forms of writing...
Even more difficult is writing a parable about something that hasn't happened yet. This is totally different from writing to the past, but there is one thing that can keep the parable safe, and that is stick to the truth and you'll never get caught in a lie.
Come on in!
It’s good to question what you’ve been taught. It’s good to crack the book and prove a few things. It’s good to be prepared when making up your mind about what to believe. And if what I’m sharing with you is true… it’s good to see the enemy’s punch before it comes.
If you want to know...
