Guest guest Posted January 28, 2004 Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 Faith, when used in the word’s spiritual sense means, “(a) The belief in the historic truthfulness of the Scripture narrative, and the supernatural origin of its teachings, sometimes called historical and speculative faith. (b) The belief in the facts and truth of the Scriptures, with a practical love of them; especially, that confiding and affectionate belief in the person and work of Christ, which affects the character and life, and makes a man a true Christian, -- called a practical, evangelical, or saving faith.” Do you have faith? I have Faith, I met her online last May, at the Edgar Cayce Association for the Advancement of Research in Enlightenment’s chat room. I was looking for her, as a result of the deal I had made with God about finding her. I had no idea who she was, and no idea where I might locate her, because all that was given was that I could find her, and that it would be possible for us to be together. The journey to find her began with a dream, which was totally unrelated to her, until you consider the overall effect of doing so. The dream was about a man who I considered evil at the time, but no longer do. I know now that he was dong his job, and will do it again, and that the other man, who I respected before he began doing his job, lost my respect. Now, I understand that we all do the jobs we are meant to do. Our mentality is controlled through the use of organic limitations. That’s what was meant in Isaiah about this being only 1/10. The rest of our being is outside of our physical bodies, influencing us through the subconscious mind, which science is beginning to understand. We, as humans are a product of the whole mind and the physical limitations we imposed on ourselves prior to birth, in order that we could do the things we wanted to do while here on earth. That is why the order of life is to live as long as possible. It’s not a man given right to live on earth, it’s a God given privilege. If you think this is hell, why do you think you decided to come here? Think about it for a moment. We have established that we have a soul, if we believe in God. Where do you think your soul goes until it has been judged, by God, to be fit to live with God? Where was it before you were born? The Bible clearly states that “In the beginning, God created Heaven and Earth.” If you don’t understand that that includes your soul, which is a product of Heaven and Earth, you will miss most of the intent of the Bible. Reincarnation is implied. A rational person will come to the conclusion of reincarnation after reading the Torah. It’s the only way that every bit of it makes sense. A rational person is defined as one who can hold enough information in one’s head to make decisions for themselves. That includes just about everybody on this planet. If fact, it includes us all, because even though a brain to us may be damaged, it is still capable of procession rational thoughts, or the host would be dead. Faith is my Celestial Bride, or my wife, though we are not legally married. The reasons for this include being married to other people for the moment. Our divorces will be final soon, and then we can decide if we want to get legally married, or not. Since we are both middle aged, and with not chance of producing children together, it doesn’t really make much sense. And we aren’t concerned about you views of such, because what we do in regard to our union has nothing to do with anyone else. The union of marriage is a commitment to the children produced in the marriage, and has nothing to do with a commitment which some use to force hell on another. I started writing as Shaman Geddon, when I made my appearance on the Internet last April. Mary left me, over a disagreement, of all things money. I had maxed out my allowed credit which I had established during my twenty year career. The reasons for getting trouble financially were many, and were all related to helping this woman, who did just as her son-in-law had predicted she would do. He was the one that I was helping in a child custody battle, in which his wife’s, aunt and uncle had taken their kids. The help I was providing my wife’s family included letting the live in my home while they looked for jobs, and reestablished themselves in society, after his release from prison. His release from prison was also the reason behind the taking of his children, though he was absolutely no threat to the kids. I loved his children, and would have done nothing to hurt them, including allowing him to be around them if I thought he was a threat to them. So I decided that his family was wrong in taking his kids, and vowed to help him and his wife in their retrieval. This cost a lot of money, because the conditions of their release from their abductors, was that the parents have to have a home, driver’s licenses, and verifiable employment. I could see the judge’s point in allowing the abduction, because I could understand her situation in having to judge without all the facts before her. My willingness to provide the whole family a home was not a verifiable fact, so was therefore not even considered as an option at the time of judgment. It took the six months allowed by the judge before the abduction would become permanent, but we did it, even though I lost my nice cushy job a week or two after they moved in, minus their children. Bringing that family together was worth the effort, to me, even though doing it eventually cost me everything that I had in material wealth. I think the reason he was honest with me about the things he knew, was because he knew that that would be the only way he would ever be able to repay me, for saving his, and his families life. When I realized that the dream which confirmed a suspicion I had about a character in being alive, I got serious about preparing for the upcoming wars and other horrors predicted by the prophets of our Bible. I have always known that I lived in a time of upheaval, in which I would be one of few survivors. I can still remember the thought passing through my mind, as I enjoyed my friendship with Mary as a child. Who would have ever guessed that that thought was a premonition based on reality? I only knew her a few short years before moving away with my family, to be raised in the south east, on a small dirt farm. I hooked back up with her just before the turn of the millennium, and we were married, almost immediately. It was love, pure and simple. She showed me some things about life, that I needed, and for that I thank her. I also wish her well, even though, because of the way she views life, could never understand why. I moved her belongings into the house she had rented, and also told her that she could have anything of mine that she needed, because I was going to need to get rid of some stuff, and travel light. This was after I had been given the permission to begin the initial step in this journey, and all I really knew for certain was that it was starting. I knew that the Mormon church would become involved, and because I knew that I had, in a previous life started that church, thought that they would help me in my endeavor, which is what I had concluded as the only possible reason behind starting another religion. The real reason will be disclosed, as we make it through these events which are to occur. I asked her if I could keep the MRE’s I had purchased at her house, until I needed them, because they were capable of being stored for up to ten years. I had bought enough to sustain she and I for a year. During this conversation, she invited me to stay with her as well, which I declined, because I had already been told by God to pursue my journey. I assumed that if I wanted to return to her, and help her and her family live through this ordeal we faced, that that would be allowed. I still thought at the time that she was my Twin Soul, and that she would eventually figure out that I wasn’t crazy, and that there was actually some rational behind the things I was doing, which she deemed irrational. These things included beginning the construction of a spring house, buying those MRE’s, and talking to God on a regular basis. He told me when I asked about what to do about her that, “She would be taken care of.” So I quit worrying about her. That was the week before she left, so when she left, I knew she would be ok. Then, when I was told to start, I had no problem with rejecting her demand that I not pursue this journey. Before I left for Salt Lake City, I told her what I was doing, because God told me to. I also told my son-in-law, that he was a part of this too, and that when his wife and her mother pushed him away, to find me. I included everything I knew when I told him about what I was going through, and when he reads these words, he will know that he is still welcome to join me, regardless of what he had to do to hold his family together. It was hard to leave my wife, but I did. I told her that I would touch no other woman, and that when I was done, would return to her. When I made it back from my initial trip out west, I found that she had taken everything I had left in my home, including my home. My landlord had rented it, even though my rent wasn’t due, because she had told him as she was taking all my stuff, that I had went crazy and was never coming back. It turned out that he knew someone who needed the house to live in, so he went ahead and rented it. All I wanted to do was sleep in my bed when I finally got home, which was still there, because she had sold it to the new tenants. I didn’t know that my home had been rented, nor that my bed had been sold, when I laid down to get some rest, but I could feel the essence of someone else who had slept there, and couldn’t get comfortable enough to sleep. I decided to go visit my wife, and get some of my clothes which I had left, and s the rest of my survival equipment which I had accumulated over the years, because I thought I would have to follow through on the threats I had made, in order to calm down the threat our planet was facing. When I got to her house, she promptly called the police, and told me to leave. I didn’t threaten her in any way, and expressed that all I wanted was my clothes and survival equipment, and for her to tell me why she had taken all my stuff. She wouldn’t tell me anything, so I left. I went to see my son-in-law, and he filled me in on the detail. And, since she took all my stuff, I felt no remorse in taking the money I had left her in our joint bank account, which financed my next little excursion, out to Mount Zion. No, not the mythical one, the one the Mormons must have named to make the prophecies come true. Go ahead, laugh, I did when I figured it out. It was during that excursion, that I met Faith. My initial reaction to here was that of suspicion, because she told a story about her recent trip to see her son, which included driving all night. That is what I had been experiencing a lot of lately, so I thought she was someone who was trying to flush me out, by getting me involved in a conversation about driving all night. I relaxed when I realized that she was telling about a real adventure she had been on, to see her son get married, which a mutual friend of ours verified. Rose is our mutual friend, and she is of the Native American family, and together with Chief of Many Nations, will help her family through this ordeal, even though they are under the impression that I am angry with them right now. They think this because they tried to come between the union of Faith and I, which is ironic, because they were both instrumental in our relationship with each other. They will know when they read this, that was meant to be as well, and the advice they gave was good advice in normal circumstances, but these are not normal circumstances. Our disputes arose because of their good intentions, and should no longer be a problem as we continue to develop our relationships. On returning home from my second excursion out west, I found that my family was extremely distressed about my mental health. I considered this a normal reaction to the things I had done, and the things which I had expressed my belief in to them, and when my older brother invited me to stay with him for a while, I agreed. He need some electrical work done in his home, and I needed a place to stay, which would also relieve my father’s concern that what I was doing was real, and was going to get us all killed. I knew it wouldn’t, or would have never went there, but he didn’t. So, when he reads this, he should know that I love him, and understand. It was while staying at my brother’s house, that Faith finally called me. She had remained with her husband, even though he kept leaving her, and coming back after a few weeks of doing whatever he was doing. I knew by then that she was who I was looking for, because of the description she had given one night while chatting at the ARE, with a room full of interested parties. The description she gave was similar to the ones which I had experienced, but instead of being visions of future events, they were visions which related to disease within the bodies of the patients she came in contact with, through the doctor’s office of which she was the office manager. Our conversations were short lived however, because of a the trip I thought I needed to make. The work I had agreed to do for my brother was complete, and I wanted to go learn what I could about the Native American prophecies from Chief of Many Nations, and told my brother. Our last real conversation involved the concept of dementia, which my brother suspected I was inflicted with. Again, this would be a normal conclusion based on the reality of my brother’s world. I did not fault him for ridiculing me about the belief that I was the Messiah, the one who so much had been written. So if he reads this, he will know that I had things to do, and still love him, and appreciate him being there for me. The worst part of my life, was the next part of my journey, and I was forced into facing my worst fear. Captivity was induced upon me by my faithless wife, when I attempted to retrieve my MRE’s from the loft in her car port. I didn’t want to talk to her, because by then she had decided that divorce was the only option she had, and I feared a confrontation, which I didn’t want to deal with. So instead of calling her and asking for permission to retrieve my food, I decided to just drive up and get it. I saw nothing wrong with that, because she had agreed that I could store it there. Retrieving one’s things from another person’s property is not illegal. It is literally the same as if I had left my bicycle there with her permission, and retrieving it without telling her. Why? I didn’t have to enter her home, and had not intention of doing so. Her son, who had also lived off me for a time, called the police when I arrived, after not answering the door for me. So as I proceeded to put my food on my truck, the police arrived, with my wife in tow, and promptly arrested me on charges of grand larceny and burglary, even though I was stealing nothing, and had not entered her home. I spent two months in jail because of this, because the bond set was too high for me to obtain. After six weeks of confinement, I was allowed a bond reduction hearing, in which the judge allowed my bond to be reduced such that my family could afford to bail me out. It was during this bond hearing that the prosecuting attorney charged that I was mentally unstable, based on my wife’s charge that I had no respect for the law enforcement system of our country because I believed that the end of the world was coming. The reason for this charge was to keep me in jail, obviously, until my trial, which my attorney had assured me would be no less than a year away. I assured the judge that I was in control of my mental faculties, and that my wife was a chronic liar, who was afraid of me, because anyone who had done to her, what she had done to me, would do anything to avoid what she would do to them, if the situation were reversed. I further assured him that I had the utmost respect for the law in our country, and that her charges were based on lies, which I could prove, and that I didn’t believe in the end of the world, at all. It must have worked. I still face those charges, but am not worried about them, because I know that I meant her no harm, and that the charges against me are not legitimate. I was served with divorce papers while incarcerated, and included was notification that if I couldn’t make it to court on the prescribed date, that our divorce would be settled without my presence. I was also instructed that if I was in jail, or mentally incompetent that I could be represented by a lawyer, which I had no money for, nor could I borrow money for. So I got to sit there, as my wife was awarded a divorce settlement, which I had no representation in. I finally got out of jail, thanks to the efforts of my two sisters. One put up the money, and the other came to get me, and let me stay with her, as I began to look for a job. I was penniless, and in debt and saw no way to perform the job which I had vowed to complete. I didn’t even know the details of the job. All I really knew, was that what I had done, was right, and that I had more to do. I emailed Faith from the unemployment office, where I could gain access to the Internet, and gave her my sister’s phone number. Her husband had left her again while I was in jail, and came back at some point during our budding relationship. If you want to consider love, consider this. Faith knew that her husband would never be faithful to her, but kept him for sixteen years, the last half of which she worked for a doctor, who is single, in her age group, and attractive. Instead of him, she chose me, even though she knew that I thought I was who I am, but didn’t believe it herself. Her husband left her again, as predicted, that time for good, though he didn’t know it at the time. He had become so accustomed to leaving and coming back after weeks of freedom, that he thought it would go on forever. Wrong……No one should be allowed to continue to hurt another, even if they have done it so long that they consider it their right. Sorry about that, but that’s part of the Universal Law. Oh yeah, guess what else. It can’t be avoided, because it’s not a man made law, it’s just the way it is. That includes avoidance by death as well. Yeah, it’s true, what goes around, comes around. Don’t worry, it’s all a part of the lessons we choose to learn, as we progress through the reality of life, and its many facets. Faith brought me to you, because without both her, and my beliefs, I would have never made it. I had no internet connection at my sister’s home, and no power supply for my laptop pc, which my mother had graciously retrieved from my wife, with the few articles of clothing which I now have. She paid for my bus fare to her home by maxing out her credit card, and sent me fifty dollars so I wouldn’t have to starve on the way. She met me at the bus station, accompanied by her doctor boss/friend, who insisted on being there in case I turned out to be one of those internet stalkers we’ve all heard about. I respected that in him, and appreciated it as well, because, even though I’m not one of them, they are real. He’s a nice guy, and I have a little sympathy for him, because I know that he loves Faith as well. So when he reads this, he will know that he is loved, too. I have been with Faith since Thanksgiving weekend. She still doesn’t believe in reincarnation, or that we are approaching the famous climax of this stage of mankind’s evolutionary process, but she believes in me, so I know that we will be together, with our family, when this is all over. When she is ready to step out, and do her part, she will. Have you figured out who Faith is yet, or how the name she chose to be represented here came to be? She was born Mary, and later changed it, but not to Faith. If she wants you to know her identity, she will tell you. All I will tell you, is that she walked the earth once as a great healer. Maybe she will at least tell us why she chose the name Faith as her ID. But, I did discover what the word faith had to do with all this. I suspect that the belief in God came to be known as faith, because of it’s usage in the Bible. But if you take a look at the complete usage of the word faith, as it is used in the Bible, you will see that it doesn’t always make sense in the context as a belief, and not as a name. Take, for example, the verse which caused me to realize that the word was a “key” to unlocking the mysteries of the prophecies. Isaiah said that this Messiah guy, would not be trusted by the king, who is another man, unless he had faith. See Isaiah 7:9, “if you do not have faith you will not be trusted”. That’s from the translation of the Dead Sea Scrolls version of Isaiah, and if you look at it in other versions, you will see that the word faith is typically replaced with what the scribes, or theologians at the time of the interpretation decided that the line, when taken into context with the rest of the verse meant. That’s a natural conclusion, and they won’t suffer because of their interpretations, no more than anyone else will suffer for theirs. Translations are always subject to error, due to misinterpretations, because languages vary so much because of the multiple meaning of words, which sometimes aren’t available in the new language, and the words used from the old language commonly have multiple meanings. So what a translator does, is determine the meaning, if he can, and then portray the meaning, and not necessarily the actual words used in the original verse. If you think about what is being said, you will realize that the test of judgment, which the scribes interpreted this verse as meaning, isn’t a test of judgment at all. How can someone judge another’s faith? It’s not possible, unless you tell him to jump off a cliff or something, and have faith that he, or God would protect him. Try it sometime. Take a leap of faith, and see how the bottom feels. God isn’t going to keep you from falling, just because you think He will. Do you have enough of your faith that you will do see? Trust me on this one, God didn’t tell the Messiah that a king would trust him, if he believed in God, because there is no way the king in question, would be able to determine that. Anyone can claim to have faith, in fact, we all have faith, in one way or another. I might not have faith in what you believe, but I have faith in what I believe, and I expect that you do to. So I took this verse to mean something else, which wasn’t hard to deduce, since Faith had been using that name as her ID, since she created a ID, and it had nothing to do with me. But it did provide a key to understanding part of what else was going on, including my announcement to the world, that I am the one you guys have been looking for. Yesterday, I decided that this must be a key, and mean a lot more than just some coincident thing, which could have happened on it’s own, thus driving me further into this supposed state of dementia, or whatever the term commonly used for people who desire fame enough to actually try to be this guy. I can understand why someone would want to be me, after all, there’s only one per planet. What they don’t realize, is that if they don’t have their own planet, they can have it, as soon as they are done here. This is my planet, and everyone is welcome, regardless of their faith, for now. When I did a search on the word faith, and it’s usage in the Bible, I found a few passages, which, like the one in Isaiah, made absolutely no sense, unless the name Faith was used in the context of the verse written. Here are some examples. From Nehemiah 1 Nehemiah’s Prayer 1 The words of Nehemiah son of Hacaliah: In the month of Kislev in the twentieth year, while I was in the citadel of Susa, 2 Hanani, one of my brothers, came from Judah with some other men, and I questioned them about the Jewish remnant that survived the exile, and also about Jerusalem. 3 They said to me, "Those who survived the exile and are back in the province are in great trouble and disgrace. The wall of Jerusalem is broken down, and its gates have been burned with fire." 4 When I heard these things, I sat down and wept. For some days I mourned and fasted and prayed before the God of heaven. 5 Then I said: "O LORD , God of heaven, the great and awesome God, who keeps his covenant of love with those who love him and obey his commands, 6 let your ear be attentive and your eyes open to hear the prayer your servant is praying before you day and night for your servants, the people of Israel. I confess the sins we Israelites, including myself and my father's house, have committed against you. 7 We have acted very wickedly toward you. We have not obeyed the commands, decrees and laws you gave your servant Moses. 8 "Remember the instruction you gave your servant Moses, saying, 'If you are unfaithful, I will scatter you among the nations, 9 but if you return to me and obey my commands, then even if your exiled people are at the farthest horizon, I will gather them from there and bring them to the place I have chosen as a dwelling for my Name.' 10 "They are your servants and your people, whom you redeemed by your great strength and your mighty hand. 11 O Lord, let your ear be attentive to the prayer of this your servant and to the prayer of your servants who delight in revering your name. Give your servant success today by granting him favor in the presence of this man." I was cupbearer to the king. (end of passage. cj.) You may understand that chapter a little better now, especially if you consider that “unfaithful” means without Faith, or without my celestial bride. As far as I have been able to determine, she and I have been apart from each other, as lovers, since the inception of man, or the days of Adam and Eve. Also, notice the reference to the “wall of Jerusalem” being broken down, and now take another look at Isaiah 5:5, “And now let me tell you what I am going to do to my vineyard. I will remove its fence and it shall be for burning and dividing up its wall and it shall be for treading down.” The “wall of Jerusalem” is the belief that only people of Jewish faith would be allowed into heave. It was based on a misinterpretation of the word Israel, to include only those of Jewish decent. Israel means mankind, and the wall about to come down, is the self righteous belief that there are some deemed as “chosen by God” because of their physical lineage. That was supposed to happen, and is the result of the book written, to preserve the technology, which would only be preserved, if the people who were to preserve it, thought it was worth preserving. Thus necessitated the belief that they had some divine mission, which they did, but it wasn’t to rule the world. It was to share in the rule of the world with all those who believed likewise, that all should be allowed the freedom earth provides, not just those who believe they have some inherent right to dominate others, because of their physical, or mental faculties, or spiritual beliefs. Face it, God is God, and we are all a part of whatever God is. Those who don’t believe this, will have to leave. Is this “trial by judgment” starting to make a little more sense now? Let’s take another look at some passages I located by examining the usage of the word faith. From Ezra 10 1 While Ezra was praying and confessing, weeping and throwing himself down before the house of God, a large crowd of Israelites-men, women and children-gathered around him. They too wept bitterly. 2 Then Shecaniah son of Jehiel, one of the descendants of Elam, said to Ezra, "We have been unfaithful to our God by marrying foreign women from the peoples around us. But in spite of this, there is still hope for Israel. 3 Now let us make a covenant before our God to send away all these women and their children, in accordance with the counsel of my lord and of those who fear the commands of our God. Let it be done according to the Law. 4 Rise up; this matter is in your hands. We will support you, so take courage and do it." 5 So Ezra rose up and put the leading priests and Levites and all Israel under oath to do what had been suggested. And they took the oath. 6 Then Ezra withdrew from before the house of God and went to the room of Jehohanan son of Eliashib. While he was there, he ate no food and drank no water, because he continued to mourn over the unfaithfulness of the exiles. 7 A proclamation was then issued throughout Judah and Jerusalem for all the exiles to assemble in Jerusalem. 8 Anyone who failed to appear within three days would forfeit all his property, in accordance with the decision of the officials and elders, and would himself be expelled from the assembly of the exiles. 9 Within the three days, all the men of Judah and Benjamin had gathered in Jerusalem. And on the twentieth day of the ninth month, all the people were sitting in the square before the house of God, greatly distressed by the occasion and because of the rain. 10 Then Ezra the priest stood up and said to them, "You have been unfaithful; you have married foreign women, adding to Israel's guilt. 11 Now make confession to the LORD , the God of your fathers, and do his will. Separate yourselves from the peoples around you and from your foreign wives." 12 The whole assembly responded with a loud voice: "You are right! We must do as you say. 13 But there are many people here and it is the rainy season; so we cannot stand outside. Besides, this matter cannot be taken care of in a day or two, because we have sinned greatly in this thing. 14 Let our officials act for the whole assembly. Then let everyone in our towns who has married a foreign woman come at a set time, along with the elders and judges of each town, until the fierce anger of our God in this matter is turned away from us." 15 Only Jonathan son of Asahel and Jahzeiah son of Tikvah, supported by Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite, opposed this. 16 So the exiles did as was proposed. Ezra the priest selected men who were family heads, one from each family division, and all of them designated by name. On the first day of the tenth month they sat down to investigate the cases, 17 and by the first day of the first month they finished dealing with all the men who had married foreign women. (end of passage included. cj.) Please feel free to read the rest of that chapter, and try to make any sense out of it, without agreeing with the conclusions I have drawn. It’s the most ridiculous story I have ever uncovered in the Bible. It starts out with everybody rolling around in front of the house of God, crying and carrying on, in front of the people of Israel, which is then defined as “men, women, and children”. What, you don’t think that is the definition? Think about it, why do you think the writer included children as witnesses to this obvious show of emotion? There is no value in including that children were present, except to point out that men, women, and children are the definition of Israel. Still don’t believe me, please come up with another reason. There is nothing presented in the rest of the story which effects children, unless you consider all the broken homes that supposedly resulted in all the broken marriages, supposedly portrayed in the story. And think about the reason for the broken marriages. The story says that all the men who had foreign wives, divorced them, and included their names. I’m sure that because of that story, a lot of Jewish people wouldn’t marry outside what they considered their people. Why do you suppose God would care who you married? Why do you suppose that God would want you to leave your wife, just because of where she was from? It makes no sense at all, in the context normally assumed. Of course, people finally realized that it couldn’t possibly be a sin to marry someone from their local neighborhood, as the story implies, so it was assumed to mean that if you did, you should convert them to your faith, so that God would allow it. Of course, I’m going to ask you to read it again, if you didn’t use the name Faith to get them meaning in the first place, and try to understand what is really being given. Verse 4 was for me, to give me strength to do what I have to do. Verse 11 was for those of you who will find guilt in leaving your wife, and kids, if you understand what’s going on, and your spouse doesn’t. Of course, you can stay with them, if you can’t imagine life without them, and they just won’t come. But, it is giving you a way to deal with the guilt, if you do decide to drop everything, and belong to the group of people who will eventually inherit this earth, with all it’s majesty in full. Here’s another writing, which was found while searching for the misapplication of the word faith. From Psalm 31 For the director of music. A psalm of David. 1 In you, O LORD , I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame; deliver me in your righteousness. 2 Turn your ear to me, come quickly to my rescue; be my rock of refuge, a strong fortress to save me. 3 Since you are my rock and my fortress, for the sake of your name lead and guide me. 4 Free me from the trap that is set for me, for you are my refuge. 5 Into your hands I commit my spirit; redeem me, O LORD , the God of truth. 6 I hate those who cling to worthless idols; I trust in the LORD . 7 I will be glad and rejoice in your love, for you saw my affliction and knew the anguish of my soul. 8 You have not handed me over to the enemy but have set my feet in a spacious place. 9 Be merciful to me, O LORD , for I am in distress; my eyes grow weak with sorrow, my soul and my body with grief. 10 My life is consumed by anguish and my years by groaning; my strength fails because of my affliction, [1] and my bones grow weak. 11 Because of all my enemies, I am the utter contempt of my neighbors; I am a dread to my friends- those who see me on the street flee from me. 12 I am forgotten by them as though I were dead; I have become like broken pottery. 13 For I hear the slander of many; there is terror on every side; they conspire against me and plot to take my life. 14 But I trust in you, O LORD ; I say, "You are my God." 15 My times are in your hands; deliver me from my enemies and from those who pursue me. 16 Let your face shine on your servant; save me in your unfailing love. 17 Let me not be put to shame, O LORD , for I have cried out to you; but let the wicked be put to shame and lie silent in the grave. [2] 18 Let their lying lips be silenced, for with pride and contempt they speak arrogantly against the righteous. 19 How great is your goodness, which you have stored up for those who fear you, which you bestow in the sight of men on those who take refuge in you. 20 In the shelter of your presence you hide them from the intrigues of men; in your dwelling you keep them safe from accusing tongues. 21 Praise be to the LORD , for he showed his wonderful love to me when I was in a besieged city. 22 In my alarm I said, "I am cut off from your sight!" Yet you heard my cry for mercy when I called to you for help. 23 Love the LORD , all his saints! The LORD preserves the faithful, but the proud he pays back in full. 24 Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the LORD . Footnotes 31:10 Or guilt 31:17 Hebrew Sheol Ok, the definition of the word faithful can be used to obtain one meaning from that line, which kind of makes sense, but consider what that line is saying, when the rest of the prayer is taken into consideration. And, I believe it’s true. But I also believe that if you don’t consider the other meaning, and do what the Lord has told you to do, through understanding the rest of the scripture provided, that you are not going to make it. Have all the faith in God you want, but if you don’t do what He is trying to get you to do, you will have to wait till you can be born again. If you don’t believe me, read on. Psalm 37Of David. 1 [1] Do not fret because of evil men or be envious of those who do wrong; 2 for like the grass they will soon wither, like green plants they will soon die away. 3 Trust in the LORD and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. 4 Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart. 5 Commit your way to the LORD ; trust in him and he will do this: 6 He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun. 7 Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; do not fret when men succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes. 8 Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret-it leads only to evil. 9 For evil men will be cut off, but those who hope in the LORD will inherit the land. 10 A little while, and the wicked will be no more; though you look for them, they will not be found. 11 But the meek will inherit the land and enjoy great peace. 12 The wicked plot against the righteous and gnash their teeth at them; 13 but the Lord laughs at the wicked, for he knows their day is coming. 14 The wicked draw the sword and bend the bow to bring down the poor and needy, to slay those whose ways are upright. 15 But their swords will pierce their own hearts, and their bows will be broken. 16 Better the little that the righteous have than the wealth of many wicked; 17 for the power of the wicked will be broken, but the LORD upholds the righteous. 18 The days of the blameless are known to the LORD , and their inheritance will endure forever. 19 In times of disaster they will not wither; in days of famine they will enjoy plenty. 20 But the wicked will perish: The LORD's enemies will be like the beauty of the fields, they will vanish-vanish like smoke. 21 The wicked borrow and do not repay, but the righteous give generously; 22 those the LORD blesses will inherit the land, but those he curses will be cut off. 23 If the LORD delights in a man's way, he makes his steps firm; 24 though he stumble, he will not fall, for the LORD upholds him with his hand. 25 I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread. 26 They are always generous and lend freely; their children will be blessed. 27 Turn from evil and do good; then you will dwell in the land forever. 28 For the LORD loves the just and will not forsake his faithful ones. They will be protected forever, but the offspring of the wicked will be cut off; 29 the righteous will inherit the land and dwell in it forever. 30 The mouth of the righteous man utters wisdom, and his tongue speaks what is just. 31 The law of his God is in his heart; his feet do not slip. 32 The wicked lie in wait for the righteous, seeking their very lives; 33 but the LORD will not leave them in their power or let them be condemned when brought to trial. 34 Wait for the LORD and keep his way. He will exalt you to inherit the land; when the wicked are cut off, you will see it. 35 I have seen a wicked and ruthless man flourishing like a green tree in its native soil, 36 but he soon passed away and was no more; though I looked for him, he could not be found. 37 Consider the blameless, observe the upright; there is a future [2] for the man of peace. 38 But all sinners will be destroyed; the future [3] of the wicked will be cut off. 39 The salvation of the righteous comes from the LORD ; he is their stronghold in time of trouble. 40 The LORD helps them and delivers them; he delivers them from the wicked and saves them, because they take refuge in him. Footnotes This psalm is an acrostic poem, the stanzas of which begin with the successive letters of the Hebrew alphabet. 37:37 Or there will be posterity 37:38 Or posterity Now take a look at it, this time notice the lack of caps, and who the Lord is referencing. Sometimes, Lord directly references God, and this is indicated clearly, both by capitalization, and by the use of the word God, just after Lord, as in, Lord thy God, Lord, God of truth, etc. But Lord is also used quite regularly in the Bible to represent the other one you serve, The Father, the one who is also referred to as the gardener in Isaiah 5. Guess what else, the title Father also is used to represent both, depending on the situation, and what is meant. Again, the writer used words to clarify the meaning, thus adding confusion to the meaning of the text, until you think about what was really being said. “Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day, our daily bread, and forgive of our debts, as we forgive our debtors, lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, for yours is the kingdom, the power and the glory, for ever. Amen.” Did you think you were praying to God with that prayer? If you thought so, you were, but if you look at the words carefully, you see the other meaning behind them. Now, go back and read Isaiah 5 again, and see if any of it makes any sense to you. If you think you get to wait till just before you have to leave the comforts you have grown accustomed to, think again, and you better be a woman, with kids, if you try to find the remnant. Because if you try to find us, after we have physically gathered, you will probably be turned away. That will of course be up to the group as a whole to decide, but I doubt very much that people who have willingly walked away from their comforts, to build a new earth, will allow those who wouldn’t to come along an muck it up. Ok, we’ll probably allow those who heard the word, and couldn’t come to join us, but this would only include children, or women with children, who were restrained by their spouses. All for now. The Groom has his Bride. Tarry if you want. If you read between my our so carefully worded lines, you will find we could care less, it’s the filtration part of the Plan. cj These links can be used to navigate to the sites we are using to bring about the gathering, and the real “New World Order.” Our World Too - World Group ourworldtoo/ Our World Too - North American Group ourworldtoonorthamerica/ Our World Too - Biblical Interpretations ourworldtoobibinterps/ Our World Too - Alternative Medicine http://health.ourworldtooaltmed/ We also have Continental Groups established, which can be found from either location listed above.
