Understanding the Balaam-Jezebel Effect
Destroying the Family-Nation from Within

I have come to understand the Letters to the Churches of Revelation as Christ warning His Body (Church) about how they would be attacked then and down through history. Each letter displays a different facet of this overall coordinated attack designed to eliminate the Church and thus believers from existence. This strategy relies upon internal and external influences swaying believers to give up their belief system to adopt the World’s belief-morality system which is really Satan’s system. This strategy is also being used against non-Christian groups to bring everyone into line with one-belief system. It begins with the family.

Knowing the Unknowable Requires The Key

Christ Imagined by the Lost

Knowing the Unknowable Requires The Key;
This Blasphemous Key Reveals Lost’s Mind

Why is it so hard to understand the Bible? Is God deliberately hiding His Truth from everyone except His select few? Can the unknowable become the knowable through logic and human reasoning? I struggled to understand the answers to these questions. It seems I cannot reach hardly anyone with the Gospel. I also struggled to understand Isaiah’s Mandate: “Keep on hearing, but do not understand;
keep on seeing, but do not perceive…” (Is 6:8-10). Is this why Jesus taught in parables; to keep the Lost, Lost (Mk 4:10-12)? In preparing for my study of Revelation I believe I have gained understanding of this mystery through the study of three words: Encrypt; Mystery and Reveal.

Commandments as Guidelines and Revealers of Sin

Commandments as Guidelines and Revealers of Sin:
Paul Wrote Commandments Reveal One’s Sin?!

For years I struggled to understand Paul’s statement, “Yet if it had not been for the law, I would not have known sin” (Ro 7:7). The first question that comes to mind has already been asked by Paul, “What then shall we say? That the law is sin?” He answers emphatically, “By no means!” However, Paul goes on to write that it was the giving of the command(s) that unmasked sin to bring death (Ro 7:8-9). But most confusing of all was Christ’s Sermon on the Mount explanation of several commandments appearing to negate the Law (Mt 5:17-30). One is left with the confusing choice that God lied in the Old Testament or is lying in the New Testament; and some agree that the entire Bible is a lie! Certainly, when approached from man’s perspective the Bible is very confusing because it was written from God’s perspective and can only be taught by God (1Co 2:12-14). Let us begin from Captain Barbossa’s perspective, that the commandments {code} is more like guidelines than rules” {Pirates of the Caribbean. (Watch above clip)}.

Knowableness of the Beast’s Image

Obelisk Described King’s Awesomeness
Dating Back to Very Ancient Kingdoms

One of the most intriguing symbols to capture people’s imaginations in modern times is the concept of the image of the beast (Re 13:13-18; 14:9-11). Needless to say many false teachers have captured the imaginations of those poorly trained or immature in discernment in looking for this image of the beast. False teachers do not teach out of the Bible as it would expose them, reducing their income. Yet, the Bible does speak about the beast’s image, especially two examples from the Old Testament. Obelisks were some of the first and most ancient images describing the prowess of rulers and thus qualify as images. However, though obelisks were associated with Egypt our first example occurs after Egypt with Moses who led the Hebrews out of that land of images. Continue reading “Knowableness of the Beast’s Image”
