WHAT DO YOU KNOW
Hardly anyone cares about the fundamental truth of not only monotheism, but the way we function in this environment. What laws govern the earth and when they are being disturbed then what is the outcome? Like the simple truth that we all produce cancer cells, but our immune system does not combat them, but rather prevents them from multiplying. Balancing things out is how this world had been contrived. Besides just the physical balance in nature and our bodies there is also the psychological balance, which is most important. I have seen too many a divine healing of incurable deadly an illness to not know few things about what I write here. Why big tumors have disappeared and dead babies came to live, a woman without ovaries had conceived and birthed a miracle baby has to do with divine knowledge. This knowledge is for us all, but we have neglected it to a large extent. If evil came from heaven then sickness has also. And if man seeks to eradicate sickness through medical inventions then that's a sign that we know whats good and what's bad and act accordingly.
Today we know that plants and all vegetation thinks and behaves in certain way, symbiotically cooperating with their own and other species. Some plants like to grow together while others don't. The same is with the processes of our physical brain in which the mind resides. What we know about the world we live in determines our wellbeing.
MIND & SOUL
A mind is something spiritual so is a soul. Mind is the king (Hebrew RATZON) from which we have the English word RATIONAL. Our soul (Hebrew NEPHESH) has three functions, one is called NESHAMAH, which is a place of divine inspiration, the other is animal like soul, which looks after the sustenance of the body, therefore food and survival is its function. In Hebrew it is called NEPHESH BAHAMIT - the animal soul. The other soul is godly (Hebrew: NEPHESH ELOKIT) which relates to the Creator who is Spirit; hence, both NESHAMAH and NEPHESH ELOKIT work in sync. When NEPHESH BAHAMIT becomes predominant by seeking only fleshly gratifications, food, drink, sex and self-preservation, it pushes out the delicate and gentle functions of the other two. That's how people become carnal, to use biblical term.
A carnal person is selfish while a spiritual person is more kind and generous. The same is with the air we breathe, the water we drink and the food we eat. Nature is not selfish it keeps on endlessly giving, but it also expects little kindness and consideration in return. By polluting our environment we slowly poison life and asphyxiate ourselves.
DUALISM
Dualism is a watered down form of polytheism, which stood for multiple gods, good and evil and in control of different domains of this world, like rain, sea storms, harvests, earthquakes etc. The final version of polytheism is Christian and Islamic dualism: God vs. Satan, Light vs. darkness, Good vs. Evil, etc. True monotheism is one God who made all things the way they are who desires for us to learn the laws behind the entire creation.
It is very hard for people to let go of dualism because the controlling factor is fear of the unknown and undefined. If heaven is unstable, and holds the possibility of rebellions and wars from which supposedly Lucifer was cast out and now inhabits some regions closer to earth then we have indeed made a big blunder. If that was not enough, perhaps by trying to come out of these preposterous ideas, we have sunk even deeper assuming the pagan way that by bemiring God's supposed foe we please the Almighty. The result is struggle with something we have no clue about, but our pride won't let us part with these ideas simply because we have brooded in them for much so long and have propagated them for much too long. So what we are stuck with is our pride mixed supremacists superiority complexes; these won't let us become humble thus receive the pure stream of revelation, logic and divine knowledge.
Assuming that pride was found in heaven, by an erroneous interpretation of Isaiah 14, we must also assume that in heaven we find fear, yet the Scripture says that the Perfect Love - God - casts out all fear. Jesus gives us His kind of peace that surpasses all understanding and which the world cannot give. So, from which realm did Jesus get this most glorious peace? (John 14:27)
THE BOOK OF REVELATIONS
The entire Book of Revelations is filled with visions, metaphors and similes, for no one has ever seen a seven-headed red dragon and no one has ever seen heavenly wars. These are visions that speak to our imaginations and they convey some truths. Anyone taking them literally and making doctrines out of them swallows irony and creates falsehood. One also takes away from God's omnipotence and sovereignty over all of His own creation and Him being in complete control. That is sin against God. Thus we rob ourselves of the perfect faith in the Perfect God; for we believe in a mixture diluting the truth. It can be a fantastic ride into the Sci-Fi world, but it is not God's world, but of our own making, although with the help of the Bible.
"There was also a war in heavenly places" but wars are always territorial, which heaven has none; and they take time, which heaven does not have. Just as Isaiah 14 uses a language of derision against the king of Babylon, which is poetic, so in many ways does John in the Book of Revelations.
A selective mind picks what it wants as long as what it picks suits it, but this is neglecting the Truth.
Truth is objective and never attached to one or another but is a standard upon high hill shining its bright light on those who are willing to embrace it and then part with their self-suiting interpretation.

WHAT IS IT
The last reformation
deals with the absolute sovereignty of God the Creator of all things that
includes the commonly known enemy of mankind called Satan. The Bible clearly
portrays Satan as God's prosecuting angel and not as some rabid dog that chewed
off his leash and goes around biting people.
Just as we do not
like the job of a District Attorney in the Court of Law so we do not like God's
prosecutor, nor do we like God's discipline of which we read in Hebrews 12:6 “For those whom the Lord loves He disciplines,
and He scourges every son whom He receives.” It happens that these words
are a quotation from the Old Testament, which is addressed to the Jews (Hebrews)
therefore God’s chosen—those who are under the eternal covenant with God. This falls
under a completely different category than the church composed of the gentile
Christians who are saved by grace. Period.
Anything beyond
salvation deals with spiritual growth therefore repentance, maturity, and the
Fatherly discipline; and these we also don’t like. So what do we like? We like
to tell the devil off and do our own thing. We do only what we like. Like
spoiled children that want only candies. I have never met a Christian who is
hard on him or her regarding the holy and righteous discipline. But when it
comes to jobs or moneymaking business the discipline is there. Strange isn’t
it? Ambition in the natural is common. Raising our families, providing for our
children requires discipline, but the same is not being applied to things of
God and the righteousness of His Kingdom. Winning a war over the enemy is often
the goal, but is it achievable? Hardly. Yet there is no wisdom that would make
one act any differently. The Last Reformation is exactly that.
1. God is sovereign over all of His own creation
and that includes Satan.
2. If evil was found in heaven and came down to the
Garden of Eden to mislead and seduce the first pair then we should blame God
for it for He made it so. Note the fact that Nechash (called Satan) was
(HAYYAH) a beast of the filed or cattle, therefore a by-God-created being.
3. But when we go deeper, we find out that in fact
God wanted us to eat of the Tree of Contrasts (knowledge) and then choose Him
with the God-given gift of the free will.
4. There are only three places in the Old Testament
that mention Satan and each place speaks of God’s anger and the engagement of
Satan as a result.
A. 1Chronicles 21:1 refers to God’s anger, which
incited David to count Israel in 2Samuel 24:1.
B. This discrepancy occurred in the
Babylonian/Persian exile where the Jews borrowed Satan from Zoroastrianism and
ever since then played with.
C. The book of Job, which was added to the Bible
around the Babylonian exile, speaks of God’s utter sovereignty; for Satan did
exactly as He was told, not more and not less.
D. In Zechariah Stan appears when the high priest
Joshua stood before God in filthy garments. As the high priest Joshua could not
perform the work of the annual atonement (Yom Kippur) so the prosecutor Satan
came as a faultfinder to instigate a change. After Satan’s mission was complete
Joshua’s garments were changed and the priest was reinstated. The outcome was
positive. (Although the melodrama is found in both books, Job and Zechariah, showing
the exiles’ feelings regarding their fate and their God; nonetheless it does not
take away from the fact that God is the fully in charge Boss.
E. The returning exiles from Persia—after the
decree of Cyrus and the repatriation of Jews back to Jerusalem and Judah—gave
Satan to the then appointed by the Hasmoneans Pharisees who developed their own
doctrines about Beelzebul/Beelzebub and the hierarchical structures of demons.
F. From the Babylonian exile until the time of
Jesus elapsed 616 years by which time the doctrines of devils were already evident.
This long period of Hellenization and mythological indoctrination further
impaired the Jewish monotheistic thought. From the polytheistic many gods
people’s imaginations were brought down to dualism (God vs. Satan, light vs.
darkness and good vs. evil), which has survived to this day.
G. The appearance of the Greek DIABOLOS (the devil)
equating him with the Jewish Satan was also noticeable.
H. Jesus did not come to reform our thinking,
that’s our job today; He came to pay the necessary price and to redeem us not
only from God’s wrath, but also from our foolishness.
5. Jesus reasoned with the Pharisees regarding ‘Satan
casting out Satan and his supposedly divided kingdom.’ But He did not reform their
thinking for they were Kenites. Jesus left them alone.
6. He called Peter Satan. He prayed for Peter after
Satan was given the permission to sift Peter like wheat. Judas was called the devil.
Apostle Paul did not fight with the messenger of Satan ‘the thorn in his flesh’
but asked God to take him away, yet Jesus said that His grace was sufficient
for Paul. Paul gave over to Satan two men in order to teach them not to
blaspheme God.
7. Peter emerged stronger from his sifting
experience with Satan. Apostle Paul, like a hollow vessel the preacher of grace
walked humbly with the Lord.
There is much more
to explore and learn, provided that one is willing to go as far as loving the
Sovereign over all of His own creation God.
If you love the
Heavenly Father more than theology then He will accept you and will reveal
Himself to you in truth, just as He did to me. That’s why I can share this
clarity with you.
