Bible Truths about the Kingdom of Heaven

Bible Truths about the Kingdom of Heaven

Note: Discussing the flat earth is all about creation. We often talk about earth, sun and moon, but little talk  about Heaven. With that in mind, it’s good to know where Christians, like us, will be when we are resurrected. With that mind, let’s see exactly what God’s Word says about it, as recorded in the Bible.

by Robert T. Woodworth

There is abundant Bible evidence that the final abode of all Christians is not “the beautiful isle of somewhere,” but right here on the earth God created to be inhabited.

For centuries since the Reformation, Christians have been led to believe that the Kingdom of Heaven was something ethereal and spiritual, apart from the earth. The truth is that both the Kingdom of Heaven and Kingdom of God referred to in the Gospels are synonymous, and both refer to Jesus’ reign on earth over the kingdoms of this world. Christians are saved, not to be taken out of this world, but to be rulers over it.

While Jesus taught the necessity for separation from worldly lusts and earthly appetites, He never insinuated that they were to isolate themselves from the earth and its problems. In fact, they were to be salt in the earth and light to the world, that this old sin-cursed planet be made better by the presence of Christians.

Ultimately the earth is to culminate in the eternal Kingdom of Jesus the Anointed which shall rule over all nations for ever and ever. This is the Gospel of the Kingdom Jesus preached, early Christians taught, and modern Christians seem to have forgotten or distorted,

“Is heaven a place, as well as a state?” This question was proposed by Augustus Strong in his classic text on Systematic Theology. It is worthy of consideration in light of what the Bible texts have to say, especially if one believes the Bible to be the final authority in matters of theology and eschatology. If heaven is a place, then where? If heaven is to be on earth, then how and when?

Jesus indicated that heaven was both a place and a state. In John 14, Jesus says: “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions, if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.” So our eternal abode is both a place and a condition, or the status of being in the presence of the LORD.

The word translated mansions is also translated abode in the 23rd verse (KW) or home (NKJV). The songwriter has put it like this: “0 hallelujah, yes, `tis heaven. `Tis heaven to know my sins forgiven. On land or sea, what matters where? Where Jesus is, `tis heaven there.” Heaven is wherever Jesus is.

But the question remains – is heaven far away in distance and time, or is it right here on earth soon? There is a great preponderance of Scripture to show that heaven is God’s perfect place where Jesus is, and it is also to come on earth.

The Holy City, the New Jerusalem, which John saw come down from God out of heaven to the earth. John testified that this vision of the future he saw “a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away.” (Rev 21:1). If “passed away” meant utter destruction, then not only the earth but heaven also would be entirely gone. Obviously, the earth did not disappear, but was transformed, changed, and renewed. In a similar manner our bodies must undergo change and transformation, as Paul writes in I Cor. 15:51-53, “this mortal must put on immortality.”

Peter also confirms this vital transformation of both heaven and earth, but he did not imply that the earth would

They would, however, go through a tremendous transformation, removing all vestiges of the curse of sin so that earth would result in a suitable place for the Kingdom of Jesus. (2 Peter 3:7-13). Again, Paul confirms that all God’s creatures and creation eagerly await deliverance and reconciliation (Romans 8:19-23).

CHRISTIANS ARE TO INHERIT THE EARTH

Jesus told us in the Beatitudes, “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.” (Matt 5:5). This was in keeping with Old Testament prophecies repeated many times and places. In Psalm 37:9-11 we read, “Evildoers shall be cut off, but those who wait on the LORD, they shall inherit the earth . . . The meek shall inherit the earth, and delight themselves in the abundance of peace.” The Psalmist repeats the destiny of God’s people in verse 22, “For those blessed by Him shall inherit the land and dwell in it forever” This is not a temporary restraint, but a permanent restoration for God’s people (see also Romans 4:13), not for all as the Universalists teach.

In spite of these precious promises for the faithful, some will sit and sing, “This world is not my home; I’m just passing through!” Yet there is NO scriptural basis for wanting to die and leave this earth in the hope of going to heaven. Our alternatives are not heaven or hell, but the redemption and transformation into the presence of the Savior to live in eternal bliss with Him It is those who are cursed who are cut off, and those who are blessed who remain all through Scripture. Psalm 37:22 ends with “those cursed by Him shall be cut off.”

The same theme is found in Jesus’ parables where the bad seed is taken away and burned, but the righteous gathered into His home (Matthew 13:30, 40-42). All these parables concern the Kingdom of God or the Kingdom of heaven, not some ethereal place in the nether world. Job saw it correctly when he said, “For I know that my Redeemer lives and that He shall stand at last on the earth.” (Job 19:25).

Psalm 25:12-13 asks, “Who is the man that fears the Lord?” Then concludes that “his descendants shall inherit the earth.” God’s ultimate victory over the forces of evil are culminated in His destruction of the wicked, His physical transformation of the world, and His dwelling in exaltation with His saints on the earth. Psalm 66 reminds us of this total dominance of a supreme God over the forces of evil. Psalm 66:3-4 tells us, “Your enemies shall submit themselves to You. All the earth shall worship You and sing praises to You.” The next chapter adds, “Oh, let the nations be glad and sing for joy! For You shall judge the people righteously and govern the nations on earth.” (67:4). How often do you hear these triumphant declarations from pulpits today? Too often we lament what the devils are doing and omit what God has declared.

“They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain,” Isaiah prophesies of God’s country, “for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the water covers the sea.” Then Habakkuk 2:14 presents a second witness of this heaven on earth, not doom and gloom, but dominion and glory.

Isaiah 24 tells us how God will judge the wicked and punish evil, transforming the earth into a suitable habitation for the kingdom of Jesus and His saints. After tremendous chaos and destruction comes triumphant restoration; “For the LORD shall reign on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem and before His elders gloriously.” (Isa 24:33). This is the culmination of the Gospel of the Kingdom John the Baptist and Jesus preached and told us to propagate. (See Matt 3:2, 4:17, 10:5-7; Mark 1:14-15). Almighty God, maker of heaven and earth, is not in the salvage business to rescue His creation from the wiles of the devil, but rather is in the business of reconciliation to restore His People to their rightful heritage, to inherit the earth.

The purifying process for His people and cleansing for His kingdom are necessary prerequisites for the “place” He went to prepare for us so He could come again and receive us for Himself (John 14:3). “And the last enemy that will be destroyed is death.” (1 Cor 15:26 and Rev 21:4).

Isaiah 25:8 says victoriously: “He will swallow up death forever, and the Lord will wipe away tears from all faces. The rebuke of His People He will take away from all the earth, for the Lord has spoken.” The next chapter is devoted to telling how the Lord will miraculously transform the earth to make it a desirable place for His Kingdom and His Chosen People.

“For when Your judgments are in the earth, the inhabit-ants of the world will learn righteousness.” (Isa 26:9). The earth was never intended to be a temporary place for God’s prime creation, but their permanent home. Earth was not created for the devil and for evil but for the living devoted. Listen to what the Lord says: “I have made the earth and created man on it .. For thus says the Lord, Who created the heavens, Who is God, Who formed the earth and made it, Who established it, Who did not create it in vain, Who formed it to be inhabited.” (Isaiah 45:12,18).

Almighty God created the earth to be inhabited, to be inherited. God does not come back to earth to waft away His righteous few, but to rule and reign with them over the earth. This is God’s plan both for individuals and the nations.

Further evidence that God’s people, Israel, shall inherit the earth and dwell in it forever, is found in Isaiah 57:13, “But he who puts his trust in Me shall possess the land, and shall inherit My holy mountain.” Again, in Isaiah 60:21, “Also your people shall be all righteous; they shall inherit the land forever, the branch of My planting, the work of My hands, that I may be glorified.”

HEAVEN COMES TO EARTH

God’s final plan calls for heaven to come down to earth. That is why He sent His Son Jesus to give us a taste of heaven on earth.

The Prophet Hosea tells of the last day when scattered Israel is regathered, and heaven and earth are united. We do not go away to heaven, but heaven comes to us. “In the place where it was said to them, ‘You are not My people,’ There it shall be said to them, ‘You are the sons of the living God.'” (Hosea 1:10. The Gospel confirms the identity of these people with Christian Israel in John 1:12). Paul seconds the motion in Romans 8.14, “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God.” Read vs 18¬23. Peter also identifies these lost Israelites as being found among Christians now. (1 Peter 1:9-10). Finally John records that the New Jerusalem was coming down from God out of heaven to earth! (Rev. 21:2).

We are not going to heaven, but heaven is coming to us. As another song-writer, Maltbie Babcock, put it:

“This is my Father’s world,

The battle is not done;

Jesus who dies shall be satisfied,

And earth and heaven be one.”

HEAVEN IS ON EARTH

The final and irrefutable evidence that God intends to make the earth the final abode of His Chosen People is the reconstructed Kingdom of Jesus the Anointed is found in the last books of the Bible. The principles of the Kingdom of Heaven were spiritual and heavenly, but they are manifested and materialized in the Kingdom of God on earth which is an everlasting kingdom. According to Revelation, these final events all take place on the earth.

Revelation 3:10 tells of Judgment, where Jesus says to the church, “Because you have kept My commandment to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole earth to test those who dwell on the earth.”

Who Rules?

Who Rules?

By R.J. Rushdoony

One of the prevailing beliefs on the right and on the left is in conspiracies. People like to believe, “They did it to us.” Now a conspiracy is a plan by a group of men to accomplish a particular goal, and the goal may be good or bad. There has been no lack of conspiracies in history, and they are surely with us today. The important question is a moral and religious one: who determines history? Conspiracies, or men under God empowered by the sovereign and determining God?

Christianity has said, over the centuries, that man is in sin; Christ is man’s Savior, giving man salvation; and the purpose of our salvation is service, doing the King’s work in terms of the King’s law-word. If we do not see this, the power of God working through us as determinative of history, we will see another and a dangerous answer. We will then see history as determined by evil conspiracies which exercise a radical control and power over us. Men are then puppets and tools, not God’s viceregents called to make all things new in Him. To regard conspiracies as determinative of history is to deny God’s sovereignty.

Not too many years ago, a man became very angry with me for saying that the Soviet Union could not endure because it was anti-God. The Soviet Union moreover was so derelict in its economy that it was ensuring its own collapse. This man insisted that the laws of economy did not apply to the Soviet Union because it had replaced economics with slavery. He saw no hope of its collapse. In a world without God and His Law, tyrannies can rewrite reality and ensure their indefinite continuance, but in God’s world the wages of sin are always death. We are commanded, “Trust in Him at all times” (Ps 62:8). Because Yahweh is God, no power can or does exist except by His permission!!

To see history as determined by conspiracies, or by demonic forces, or by evil men means, first, to deny that God is the Lord, that He is Sovereign. Second, it also is a denial of our responsibility. Our Lord did not give us an impossible commission (Matt 28:18-20) but a totally possible, necessary, and required one. We need to read and reread the commission to Joshua (Josh 1:1-9), of which the Great Commission of our Lord is an expansion (from Canaan to the world and all [Israel, CIM] nations) while a summary thereof. The promises are remarkable: “Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you” (Josh 1:3). “Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD (Yahweh) thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.” Jos 1:9

One of our problems today is that we forget that we are a commanded people. One of the greatest evils in the church today is the heretical belief that we chose Christ. Our Lord in John 15:16 is emphatic that we do not choose Him but He chooses us and commands us to bear fruit to Him. People who deny God’s predestination scare me; some actually say, “I know what the Bible says here, but it can’t mean what it says.” God is not our servant, although some will say, “He gives me what I ask for;” but He is our Lord and Commander who says, “You will give me all of yourself and your substance as I require it.” Between the two attitudes there is a world of difference, and they are different faiths. Armenians and conspiracy theories have much in common.

Ours is a command Faith because our God is the Lord,

Adam’s sin. Judgment was brought to him through his calling. While Eve was judged, her punishment was not as great.

So, it is for us today. A woman’s lot is not as difficult as a man’s. A man may have to search to know the will of God. The woman may not agree with the man’s judgment but he leaves her in no doubt about it, and with her assurance goes a degree of peace. Many women claim that they would like their husbands to be more responsible and aggressive. The way to gain this, if a woman really wants it, is to back off and let him take the responsibility and let him know he has it.

The world today is sin-sick, and anarchy looms ahead. It behooves all of us to make our Biblical contribution to Godly solutions for a proper respect for authority and He does whatsoever He pleases (Ps 115:3).

What He ordains cannot be undone. The nations or heathens do indeed rage, and the rulers con-spire together against God the Lord and His anointed (people, CIM), but God laughs, and he holds them in derision (Ps 2:14). We need to share in that heavenly laughter. Instead of trembling at the vain imaginations of man, we need to stand fast in our faith.

Paul has a magnificent answer to all the evils the ungodly perpetrate on God’s people. Whatever happens to us, “Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us” (Rom 8:37). This is an audacious statement. Paul had in mind Roman conquerors, their triumphal entries with many slaves, the gold and other treasures of the conquered people, and their leaders in chains. As against this fact of mighty conquerors, Paul simply states that we are more than these conquerors in our victories when we faithfully serve our King. Our King shall reign when Marx, and all his followers, and all other tyrants and conspirators are only dim memories and fading lines in history. Our Lord is the great King over all kings!

The New Testament gets a major face-lift next month with a new English translation eliminating references to God the Father, turning the Son of Man into “the human one” and removing accusations that Jews killed Christ.

The new translation says children should not ‘obey’ their parents but heed them. Wives are no longer ‘subject’ to their husbands but committed to them.

‘Darkness’ is no longer equated with evil because of racist overtones and the ‘Lord’s Prayer’ now begins ‘Our Father-Mother in heaven.’

References to the right hand of God are also deleted, eliminating possible embarrassment to left-handed people.

(From Geelong Advertiser, Sept 5,1998]

In order to get people to follow another god, all that is required is for someone to rewrite God’s Word, and still call it ‘The Bible’ or New Testament. What was Politically Correct in 1611, is no longer acceptable to today’s gods, who insist that they shall decide what should be in God’s Word. “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight! Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink: Which justify the wicked for reward (bribes, fines), and take away the rightesousness of the righteous from him (those who would discriminate against queers etc. are prosecuted!)! Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the LORD (Yahweh) of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.” Isaiah 5:20-24

Flat Or Spherical Introduction

Flat Or Spherical Introduction

flat earth old newspaper

INTRODUCTION

Flat, or Spherical? This is the title of our new book and it refers to the question, whether the earth and sea together are flat—or spherical?

“This is the question.” It may seem late, in this boastful 20th century, to ask such a question. But it is not too late to seek the truth; not too late to correct error; and not too late to mend our ways, let us beware of wilfully putting off the search for truth until it is ” too late ” for us to find it.

We are living in an age when men and women dare to enquire after truth; and long-established beliefs are being subject to searching criticism. The belief that we are living on a globe, rushing through space, is not as ancient as some may suppose; in fact, it is a comparatively modern belief!

It was simply put forth as a theory, and it remains a theory still. It is only since the times of Copernicus and Newton, who lived in the 16th and 17th centuries respectively, that this belief has been received by astronomers and unthinking persons, mostly confined to Europe.

But the fable of the Whirling, sea-earth-globe theory was not invented or conceived originally by either of these men.

In our first chapter we shall proceed to show its true origin. The truth should be the first aim of the Christian; and more especially the truth of the Holy Bible; and it is the Christian’s duty to examine into and uphold the Divine Cosmogony revealed to Moses by the Creator, and recorded by Moses and all the inspired servants of God.

But furthermore, this subject which we are now placing before our readers, is of great importance, and deep interest, not only to the Christian, but to every man and woman capable of reasoning, whatever their nationality. The greater part of the human family are more or less moved with a desire to know the true order of Creation, the general structure of the world, its formation, and the divine object for which it was originally created.

Our intention, therefore, is to present to our readers good and substantial -reasons, based upon natural Facts, that the Bible is inspired from Genesis to Revelation, and we trust this knowledge will bring’ many to a true understanding of God, His wonderful Creation, and His plan of salvation. We see that God’s own account of His Creation, as given in His Inspired Word, is correct. We are led to believe that this Word is reliable, not only in its teaching regarding the Creation and order of the earth, sea, and universe, but also in its setting forth life and the hope of Recreation i n and through Jesus the Christ. But faith in God and in His Christ has been nullified by the promulgation of false “science”; and thousands of men, and women possessed of high mental capacities have been led to cast away the Bible because it does not agree with the theories of modern science. They have been trained to regard “science” as infallible, and consequently they believe that the Bible is fallible! And as long as a false and Scripture contradicting science is palmed upon the world, no better state of things can be hoped for. It is important therefore to calmly look into these matters with unbiased minds, for ” If the foundations be destroyed what can the righteous do? ” Psalm XI 3

We would remind our readers that Truth is undivided, and that all truth is closely connected.

Scriptural Cosmogony will bear investigation. It is found by those who do investigate, to be in harmony with the evidences of one’s senses—and also true to the facts of Nature. The same cannot be said of the whirling globe theory, because it is in direct contradiction to our senses, as well as to the sense of Holy Writ. It will not. stand investigation, therefore its supporters are very shy of controversy. They expect us to “believe ” that the earth and sea together comprise a flying globe (which they speak of as a solid “orb,” supposed by astronomers to have been ” originally shot off the sun in a soft plastic mass, which, as the temperature decreased, gradually solidified,”) yet not one single fact or proof can they produce for this far-fetched idea, and in spite of the fact that the whirling globe theory was (even according to the open confessions of its founders) set forth to the world in the first instance as a mere “supposition,” it is now presented as unquestionable truth. But, nevertheless, it is only a counterfeit of truth after all!

We are actually told the earth is a heavenly body, and it is called a ” planet.” But we ask, why is the earth said to be a star? And we also ask for proofs of its globularity and motions; but we ask in vain !

But still—

We ask ” science “-makers most kindly to try,

To give us some proof, not up in the sky;

But practical proof, that none can deny.

Of facts based on Reason these “professors” seem shy.

But, why? Tell us, why?

How The Eye Can See

How The Eye Can See

Extract 4

E.A.M. Blount

Retyped and formatted by CFEM.org

Humidity in the air, as well as the eye’s nearness to the earth, all prevent the full possibilities of sight horizontally.

Looking vertically, sometimes clouds and mist preclude the fully extended reach of sight quite as effectually as do solid sight-deterrents on the earth in the shape of bricks and mortar, etc.

Even when the human eye is looking over the open sea or over a plane its full range is rarely reached.

The eye is always in the centre of its own visual bounds, the full extent of which it can only see under favourable conditions, when all obstacles or obstructing causes are cleared away.

Our Heavens’ Lights and Atmosphere come down to meet each mortal’s Senses, and no man can possibly see beyond his eyesight’s range, which is limited and enclosed within his limited area. This prospectively appears enclosed by circular bounds extended as far as the individual’s eye power can command on all sides. Each human eye -is enclosed as in a tent by the limitations of its own eye-formed canopy.

In every position on earth or on sea a man is under the same conditions. His eye-formed canopy or ” tent ” is ever over him, and if he moves a few yards, or a hundred miles, he can never extend the limits, of his own bounds determined by his own eye and the limitations of light. The laws controlling these conditions are fixed.

Every man’s eye-formed bounds move along with him bodily, new canopies ever forming round him wherever he goes. But his eye can only command sight-grasp of a few miles of circuitous space in breadth or height.

The basis of his eye-bounds is his horizon, and consequently the heavenly lights in motion appear in a dome as though moving above his head. And wherever the field of motion of the heavenly lights may be, whether far or near above, they are reflected dawn through the atmosphere to each human eye, and they appear within the limits of the eye’s own bounds according to its located position on the earth or sea.

The images of the Sun, Moon, and wandering Stars pass through each eye-formed ” tent ” according to their regular courses. That the projected Sun image appears through the atmosphere into the horizon of every mortal’s limited area, and very near above the earth is an evident fact, as is shown in the following diagrams.

It is shown that the image seen of the sun within _ the eye-formed tent or canopy of every person on earth often appears within two or three miles above the earth, or the spectator’s eye. It was so when the drawing of Diagram I was made.

Extract 1

The sun ” rises prospectively into the horizon of the eastern atmosphere-limits of each man’s eye-formed atmospheric-tent, gradually rising higher and higher, until noon, when it reaches its zenith, or central point of vision.

These facts may be made clearer by the following diagram:

Extract 2

In the above diagram let A repre3ent the sun, B a magnifying glass.

These rays which fall vertically on the glass B pass and are converged at the point C. This experiment can be tried any day when there is sunshine, and if the converging rays are focussed on a, piece of paper as at C, the focussed image of the Sun will be seen, and it will set fire to the paper.

DIAGRAM III

Extract 3

In the same way the Sun Light is focussed in the atmosphere, and that which we see is a focussed image at the Sun-Light’s radiating point—from which its rays of Light, Heat, and other Forces descend in the air to light each creature’s eyes, and warm and resuscitate his whole Senses bourne by sun-rays in the air in harmony with the eye’s nature.

This diagram was taken from observation for the author by a scientist.

S was the focussed image of the Sun shining through the clouds, and its rays diverged to the right towards some trees as at B, and to the left to a distant church, as at A.

These rays made an angle of about 45 degrees with the earth, and the distance from A to B was four to five miles. Drop a perpendicular from S to 0, then the distance over B, a little over two miles, equals the altitude of 5, the focussed image of the Sun. If we were to rise higher in the air in a balloon, the focussed image of the Sun would rise higher with us, up to a certain height, just as when we approach a rainbow, its arch recedes from us as we approach it.

DIAGRAM IV

Extract 4

This diagram roughly represents a sectional elevation of the human eye. A may represent the aqueous humour: B the crystalline lens which answers to the glass which converges the rays of light: C represents the eye-ball filled with what is called the vitreous humour.

All these, with the cornea in front of the eye, are transparent, and they allow the light to go through the pupil of the eye to the membranous lining of the eye-ball called the retina.

If an arrow be placed before the eye as at D, the rays of fight will pass from it through the pupil and the crystalline lens in straight lines and fall on the retina at the back of the eyeball, where the arrow will be inverted as at B.

When these facts are properly appreciated it will be seen that the eye cannot stretch out further in one direction than another. In fact the eye does not ” stretch out ” at all : it is light which comes into the eye. Strictly speaking we never see anything outside the eye, all vision is within the eye or optic nerve : and we learn from our other Senses to associate distance with the various objects we see.

But even after much experience these distances are often deceptive. For instance, mountains look much nearer before rain than after it. When we have digested these facts, we shall see the absurdity of thinking that the Sun, Moon and Stars are many millions of miles away from the earth.

No mortal builder makes a light or a fireplace a million times larger than the house he builds, and it would be impossible for the Almighty Creator to make such a blunder as to create a Light consisting of a laugh spherical body millions of times larger than the Earth which it was created to light and warm. And the idea that our Sun is 2,646,000 miles in circumference is a very great mistake! Because the whole of the circumferential surfaces of our ” Seas” and “ Earth ” conjoinedly are said to measure no more than about 25,000 miles. Therefore, whatever may be the shape of the cavity which contains our world, it would be impossible that our central heavens could contain a Sun 2,646,000 miles in circumference.

And another initial mistake lies in the idea that

space ” is Eternal. As all the so-called ” space that man can trace is enclosed and contained in the area betwixt the circumference of our central Heavens, and the concave surfaces of our ” Seas ” and ” Earth ” all round beneath them.

And further mistakes are those of supposing that the bulk of our ” Seas ” and “Earth” are a known quantity, and that the area which contains our Air, and Skies, and Ethereal Heavens is endless and everlasting ” Space.” As it is quite vice versa, because the size of our central and enclosed Heavens and the area which holds our breathing atmosphere are more or less accurately known. But the size and extent of.” The Waters” and ” The Earth ” in whose midst our world is placed is unknown! And we know nothing beyond our wall of ” Seas ” with our ” Earth ” Pathway standing out into our atmosphere all round above them. And the Creator in His Holy Word, distinctly reveals that our world is wholly contained in a cavity ” In the midst of the Waters ” which cavity is caused by our translation ” HAD BECOME “) without form and void, and divided II The Waters ” by a Firmament—which is our ” Heavens,” containing our “Lights “— 1′ the Tabernacle for the Sun “—supernal divisions, and probably many other things including Ice which are made invisible to us by ethereal Sky and Cloud-covering.

And when the inventors of the above-named evolution theories assert that at millions of years intervals the Sun, Moon and Stars FORMED THEM¬SELVES by RUSHING SEDIMENTARY CYCLES, they really mean IMAGINARY ORBITS IN IMAG¬INARY NEVER-ENDING so-called ” Space.”

But—for ” the Second time of asking “—who saw those rushing Sedimentary Cycles millions of millions of years in the past? And who saw the different kinds of Matter form themselves into the various Strata in ” The Earth”? (which ” Strata,” as a God and Nature revealed fact, God, by Jesus Christ CREATED with EVEN LAYERS ; ” The Earth ” having been CREATED with a LEVEL SURFACE, its Age-long inundation in the darkened Waters having caused its deformation and decay). And who saw the distinct kinds of Matter divide themselves into THEIR OWN CLASSES before entering into the maelstrom of the cycling fluid? NO ONE!

But—let it be repeated—” the Angels of God. Rejoiced when they witnessed God’s Creation of ” THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH ” built upon EVERLASTING FOUNDATIONS—which God Created by Jesus Christ untold Ages in the past. And they Sang and shouted for Joy!

Therefore, these Scripture-contradicting theories (which were first introduced into Europe by the Greek Pythagoras about 600 years B.C. and finally established by Copernicus in the 15th Century A.D.) probably were invented before the Dispersion of the Jews, and the commencement of ” THE TIMES OF THE GENTILES ” by some pagan mortal or mortals, who either with the object of deceiving—or through ignorance—and believing or affecting to believe that our ” Seas and ” Earth ‘1 were surrounded by open and never-ending heavens, invented the pagan-born idea that our ” Seas ” and ” Earth ” were a Star. But in any ease, it is doubtless that Satan was the inventor of the planet-earth fable, and by his subtlety he has through human agents caused innumerable mortals to believe the Scripture and reason contradicting idea that they live on a “Sea” and ” Earth ” star everlasting rushing (while spinning) in never-ending ” space ” !

God Created the Sun, and Moon, and Star ” Lights” within our Central Enclosed Heavens : which heavens He Created to cause the formation of the cavity which contains our Enclosed World ” in the Midst of the Waters.”

And in these “Waters” “The Earth” of the former World was drowned. And Jesus Christ made our ” Lights ” on the 4th day of Creation Week less than 8,000 years ago to Light and Warm this World’s ” Seas,” and the ” Earth ” which stands out of the ” Seas ” into the Cavity which contains our world ” in the midst of the Waters” (Gen. 1, S).

It is revealed that The Lord God Jehovah Created all His Works by His Son—whom He Created endued with Immortality before He Created any other Being or Thing. And Jesus Christ, who alone hath Immortality, was the First and only DIRECT Creation of God—God having Created all His Created Works, both visible and invisible, by His Son—our Saviour.

The Foundations of the Heavens and the Earth God—by Jesus Christ—created Eternal, but ” the Earth ” which stood in the Waters and out of the Waters which were beneath ” the Heavens which were of old ” was drowned, and during many Ages became ” without form, and void” in ” the midst of the Waters ” wherein it was left. And our world which was made in the midst of the divided and deformed Earth” RUINS which were (and still are) ” in the midst of the Waters,” was created to pass away with the whole ruins of ” the Earth ” of the former world: and the super-natural fire which ” The Earth ” contains, God bath created ready to destroy Satan with his followers and works. But the removal of these things (which will be caused by the removal of the power which holds our partly solid Firmamental Heavens in their central position to cause our world’s cavity) will not take place till after Jesus Christ’s forthcoming Millennial Reign.

All God’s visible and invisible Created Works by Jesus Christ were Created having limitations: some of which were created Everlasting. But our world, it is revealed, was created only to remain for a time: and then to he burnt with super-natural fire which is kindled within ” The (drowned) Earth.” But God’s Word which He hath placed above His Works is Eternal and will never pass away. It is the everlasting Bread of Everlasting Life, and they who never seek to eat this Everlasting Bread, will surely die I And He who said ” thou shalt not die’ deceived man also by his eye.

  • Where’re a man’s horizon be,
  • Not one yard further can he see.
  • Man’s eye-formed tent is God’s provision To frame and encircle all his vision,
  • In all directions he can see,
  • His eye-line’s length the same will be. His horizontal line of sight

This inward Fire in “the Earth,” which oozes out into our world’s areal cavity, causing the Gulf-Stream, and Sea, Motion, etc., is, at present kept at bay by our central Heavens.

That is, straight on before his eye Is just the same up vertically. Controlled by certain limits too, The telescope extends his view: But its extended line of gaze

Is also equal in alt ways,

All mortal things have limit scopes, Including man-made telescopes.

But globites thin] their eyes can trace A hundred million miles in ” space ” That is, when looking towards the sun They say, the stars are further on—

Some stars-they-see-are—so they say—Five hundred million miles away! But the Creator of the sky

Created too the human eye

So doubtless, ’tis a wise decision That man is limited in vision,

And each man’s dome, formed by his eye

(i.e.; the limitation of his Sight-Sense) Holds all he sees of earth or sky

Serpent Spell Casting Secrets

Serpent Spell Casting Secrets

Note: We hear today of Satanists in government, industry and all walks of life. It has really gotten ‘in your face’ today. Here is what the Bible has to say on the subject. You don’t hear this from a biblical perspective in the alternative media, which you should.
To relate this to the flat earth, think of the spell that is cast when you watch the news; images if a revolving planet are placed in your mind.

by Pastor Peter J. Peters

Mind control and people control is real and is what the Bible calls “the sorcery of Babylon” (Rev. 18:23) and the “casting of a spell” (Deut. 18:1 1). It’s being used today against God’s people as a result of their idolatry. Though modern-day idolatry is not recognized or understood, its consequences are addressed in the Song of Moses (Deut. 32) which was and is a latter-day prophesy. “For I know that after my death you will act corruptly and turn from the way which I have commanded you; and evil will befall you in the- -latter days, for you will do that which is evil in the sight

According to the Song of Moses, because the covenant people went after false gods (Deut. 32:15-18) and practiced idolatry also known in scripture as harlotry (Psalm 106:39) they would be punished by their God with serpent-like enemies which He would send against them. (Read Deut.32:21- 27.) Speaking of the latter-day success of those serpentine enemies over His people, God says, “How could one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, unless their Rock had sold them, and the Lord had given them up?” (Deut. 32:30). In other words, the latter-day enemy of God’s people would gain a great victory in spite of being a minority in number. Their victory comes through their sorcery practice of casting a spell which deceives the nations (Rev. 18:23).

The Christians have been told of and warned of the spiritual warfare (Eph. 6:12) and the ability to capture and plunder a people through philosophy and vain deceit. “See to it that no one carries you off as spoil or makes you, your selves captive by his so-called philosophy and intellectualism and vain deceit (idle fancies and plain nonsense), following human tradition… ” (Col 2:8 from the Amplified). This can be done by casting a spell.

God’s law forbids spell casting. -There shall not be found among you anyone…who casts a spell…” (Deut. 18:10-11 NASB). The King James translation uses the word “charmer”. “There shall not be found among you…a charmer” (Deut. 18:10-11 KW).

The Hebrew word as defined by The Gesenius Hebrew-Chaldee Lexicon of the Old Testament by Baker means “to bind, to facilitate, spoken of some kind of magic which was applied to the binding of magical knots (Deut. 18:11, Psalm 58:5) of the incantation of serpents.” Holmons Exhaustive Concordance defines it as “to unite, be joined, to tie a magic knot or spell, to charm.” Webster’s 1828 Dictionary defines spell as “that which has power to subdue opposition and to gain the affection…”

WHAT IS INVOLVED IN SPELL CASTING? IDOLS

As previously stated, the Babylonian sorcery practice of spell casting is being used against God’s people as a result of their idolatry. Therefore, it should be of no surprise that it involves idolatry, i.e., the erecting of idols. Because Christians seem to think idols must be in the nature of a physical object such as a totem pole, or household figurine type objects or a Catholic statue and such like, they fail to heed the warning of 1 John 5:21: “Little children guard yourselves from idols.” The Greek definition of the word which made silver shrines for Diana, brought no small gain unto the craftsmen; whom he called together with the work-men of like occupation, and said, Sirs, ye know that by this craft we have our wealth. Moreover, ye see and hear that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and turned away much people, saying that they be no gods, which are made with hands: so that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at nought; but also, that the temple of the great goddess Diana should be despised, and her magnificence should be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worshippeth. And when they heard these sayings, they were full of wrath, and cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians. And the whole city was filled with confusion: and having caught Gaius Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul’s companions in travel, they rushed with one accord into the theatre.

Step three is the open-door policy. It’s a bedroom door and a trap door, for if one walks through it, the door slams shut and the magic knot is tied i.e., the spell is cast by the enemy sorcery practicing serpents.

During the demonic fit and demonization process there is always a door left open for the alleged offender. Once the threatening offender has been attacked, demonized, made to feel wrong and evil in his or her so-called old fashioned antiquated beliefs etc., the opportunity to repent and turn from such evil ways is given. Just as the true God extends open arms of grace and mercy to the sinner who will turn from his wicked ways and returns to this false god.

If you will simply apologize and say you are sorry and were wrong (and perhaps even take a government sponsored sensitivity training class) you have walked through the trap door and have become captive. You appease the media god and the adverse public opinion gods they sent against you. You appease them with a sacrifice: the sacrifice of your conscience. They made you feel like you were out of line and now when you get in line with the false god your heart and mind get out of line with the true God. This is where the spell is cast and the magic knot is tied and this is what James called double-mindedness.

You have made up your mind that Homosexuality is an acceptable alternative lifestyle and even a right. This is the sacrifice of your conscience, yet in your heart you know that it’s wrong, a perversion and an abomination to God. The reason you cannot accept that it is wrong is due to the fact that you yourself have become an idolator. Think about it. The reason the public decides right and wrong is because they are idolators following the very same seductive lie of the serpent in the garden of Eden. “… You will be like God, knowing good and evil.” (Gen 3:5). It’s nothing more than humanism wherein the people lift up self above God and they themselves decide good and evil, right and wrong. They become the great “I AM” and they do as they please rather than what would please the true God. There are two words in propaganda and demonization is for the purpose of making the offender “feel” bad about themselves and so out of self-love and what James calls “love of the world” the seduced victim whores him/herself. Thus, when God’s people choose such a love affair rather than loving their God (i.e., their husband) with all their HEART and all their MIND, they are guilty of what Hosea called harlotry (translated whoredom in the KJV) and are trapped and unable to return to their God, i.e., repent. “Their deeds will not allow them to return to their god. For a spirit of harlotry is within them.” (Hosea 5:4) “For the land commit flagrant harlotry forsaking the Lord.” (Hosea 1;2).

James, addressing the same people as Hosea, uses the word adultery. “James, a bond-servant of god and of the Lord Jesus Christ to the twelve tribes who are dispersed abroad … You adulteresses, do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore, whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.” (James 1:1 and 4:4)

To better understand what James is saying, consider again the illustration of succumbing to the Public Opinion/ Political Correctness idol on the subject of homosexuality. It is really becoming a friend of the world. The youth on the college campus that doesn’t succumb to the politically correct position may be discriminated against by the professor with a failing grade, the child on the school ground may be ostracized by the ‘click,’ the businessman may lose business, the preacher may offend and lose church attendance. So, for comfort’s sake, and self-serving reasons, they make friends with the world and become an enemy of God.

The definition of the word spell means “the power to subdue opposition and to gain the affections” and this is exactly what _happens. Homosexuality is literally taught in the schools, flaunted—of little vision-and forced on the people through various laws and city ordinances and there is no opposition to speak of. But think what the opposition to it would have been a scant twenty to forty years ago. In fact, it has gained the affection of the people. This can be seen when a preacher in the role of a prophet speaks out against it and the citizens see him more queer, more dangerous, and even more unloving and unchristian than the homosexuals. How has this happened? – Through the casting of a spell.

(There is much more on this subject including how the spell can be broken which the space of this article does not allow us to cover.)

What If a World Leader Did What King Jehoshaphat Did

What If a World Leader Did What King Jehoshaphat Did

What Would Happen?

King Jehoshaphat and the Kingdom of Judah was facing a very serious national crisis. Three powerful armies—the Moabites, Ammonites and Edomites—had made an alliance with each other to conquer the smaller Kingdom of Judah.

When King Jehoshaphat was informed of the coming invasion of the large multitude of these three enemy forces, the Scriptures inform us that he “feared,” but “set himself to seek the LORD” (2 Chronicles 20:3).
In the next verse, we are told that the King gathered all of Judah together to ASK HELP OF THE LORD. The King Jehoshaphat followed God’s commandment of what to do in situations like these by going to the house of God (2 Chron. 7:14) and they:

1. Humbled themselves
2. Prayed
3. Sought God’s face
4. And they turned from their wicked ways.

The kingdom of Judah was no match against these three ancient foes. In his prayer before gathered Judah (including their little ones, their wives, and their children; vs 13), King Jehoshaphat indicated such:
“For we have no might against this great company that cometh against us, neither know we what to do; but our eyes are upon thee” (2 Chronicles 20:12b)

The God of Israel was pleased with the leadership of King Jehoshaphat and his obedience. For as a result of his faithfulness, God answered Jehoshaphat’s prayer by send­ing the prophet Jahaziel. The prophet’s words were astounding:

“Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; FOR THE BATTLE IS NOT YOURS, BUT GOD’S” (2 Chronicles 20:15b)

Then followed one of the most unbelievable military victories in history. Like the battle of Jericho, this battle was clearly one of Divine intervention. And all the nations that were located in the Middle Wast knew it:

“And the fear of GOD was on all the kingdoms of those countries, when they had heard that the LORD fought against the enemies of Israel” (vs 29).

AN APPLICATION

During the old covenant days, Israel was to gather and seek their covenant GOD at the Tabernacle/Temple when any four areas of evil came upon them:

1. The sword
2. Judgment
3. Pestilence Or famine

In the previous story of King Jehoshaphat, the evil was the Sword. And so superior was both the infantry number and military strength of their enemies that they King of Judah readily acknowledged that they (including himself) “KNEW NOT WHAT TO DO!”

Today in the United States, the same covenant people of the same covenant God face another dire situation. While all four areas of evil are no doubt present or near—the most urgent evil is PESTILENCE.

DISEASE IN AMERICA

According to the World Health Report 2000 the United States ranks 12th out of 13 countries that were surveyed with regard to sixteen available health indicators. Even worse, the United States ranks last for low birth weight and neo-natal and infant mortality.

Heart disease, cancers, arthritis, diabetes, hypoglycemia, hyperinsulinemia are so widespread in the United States that it is estimated that over half the population exhibits one or more symptoms of these life-destroying diseases. Symptoms of adult onset diabetes are now being routinely noted in six year old children. Obesity and its related endocrine dysfunction are commonly observed in teenag­ers.
One hundred years ago most diseases in the United States were infectious diseases. But their frequency and fatality rate have been greatly reduced because of improved sanitation and cleanliness.

However, new diseases have appeared with much more devastating consequences. Not only are they fatal, but they rob the person of vitality and strength. They cause much agony and suffering. Loss of memory, loss of endurance, loss of energy, loss of general health to such a degree that many spend the last years of their lives as invalids.

One of these new diseases, practically unknown in the 1800’s is DIABETES. Surprising to many, diabetes has many symptoms:

1. Arteriosclerosis
2. Elevated blood pressure
3. Elevated cholesterol
4. Elevated triglycerides
5. Elevated blood sugar
6. One time strokes, both ischemic and hemorrhagic
7. Heart failure
6. Renal failure
9. Liver failure
0. Obesity
11 Impotence
12. Retinopathy
13. Peripheral neuropathy
14. Polycystic ovary syndrome
15. Systemic candida
16 Impaired carbohydrate metabolism
17 Impaired fat metabolism
18. Gangrene
19. Blindness
20. And others

So rapidly has this disease progressed in the United States that in a hundred years it has gone from a per capita incidence of only 28 out of 10,000 to over 5,000 out of 10,000 in 2004. At the rate it is accelerating, by the end of the next generation there will be very few individuals who will escape the clutches of this disease.

WHAT CAUSED DIABETES TO APPEAR?

Simply put, the cause of all these symptoms of diabetes is the violation of two of the Ten Commandments and one corollary that God gave to His people (Deuteronomy 5:17, 18):

Commandment #6 “Thou shalt not kill [murder]” Commandment #7 “Neither shalt thou commit adultery.”
Corollary: “The LOVE of money is the root of all evil” (1 Timothy 6:10)

There are two types of diabetes: Type I and Type II.

1. Type I diabetes is when insulin is insufficiently pro­duced by the pancreas.

2. Type II diabetes is the newer of the two. It occurs when the insulin is sufficient, but ineffective in reducing the blood sugar.

The obvious question should be what happened in the United States that caused the insulin that is produced to be ineffective in reducing the blood sugar in the blood? The answer would have to coincide with something that occurred in history in the early part of the 20th century that caused that devastating effect to occur.

THE ANSWER

The answer is important as it gives a key to preventing and
a way to be cured from these common diseases—ADULTERATED FOOD AND DRINKS

To quote from the website: http://www.healingmatters.com/deception.htm:

“As early as 1901, efforts had been made to manufacture and sell food products by the use of auto­mated factory machinery because of the immense potential profits that were possible [LOVE of money]. Most of the early efforts failed because people were inherently suspicious of food that wasn’t farm fresh and because the technology was poor. As long as people were prosperous, suspicious food products made little headway. Crisco the artificial shortening, was once given away free in 2-1/2 pound cans in an unsuccessful effort to influence the United States wives to trust and buy the product in preference to lard.

Margarine was introduced and was bitterly opposed by the dairy states. With the advent of the depression of the 1930’s, margarine, Crisco and a host of other refined and hydrogenated products began to make significant penetration in the United States food markets. Support for dairy opposition to margarine faded during WWII because there wasn’t enough butter for both the civilian population and the needs of the
military. At this point, the dairy industry having lost much support, simply accepted a diluted market
share and concentrated on supplying the military.

Flax oils and fish oils, which were common in the stores and considered a dietary staple before the American population became diseased, have disappeared from the shelf. The last supplier of flax oil to the major distribution chains was Archer Daniel’s Midland and they stopped producing and supplying the product in 1950. More recently, one of the most important of the remaining genuinely beneficial fats was subjected to a massive media disinformation campaign that portrayed it as a saturated fat that causes heart failure. As a result, it has virtually disappeared from the supermarket shelves. Thus was coconut oil removed from the food chain and replaced with soy oil, cottonseed oil and rape seed oil. Our parents would never have swapped a fine healthy oil like coconut oil for these cheap junk oils. it was shortly after this successful media blitz that the US populace lost its war on fat.

For many years coconut oil had been one of our most effective dietary weight control agents.

The history of the engineered ADULTERATION of our once clean food supply exactly parallels the rise of the epidemic of diabetes and hyperinsuline­mia now sweeping the US as well as much of the rest of the world.”
What changed? The clean real food supply changed to an artificial, adulterated food supply. And as a result a epidemic of diseases. This includes godly Christians who rightly had forsaken the unclean foods.

THIS IS IMPORTANT! Christians must avoid not only unclean foods bur also adulterated clean foods; and fake artificial foods.

Artificial, fake sugars: Refined sugar (white), whether it is refined from cane, beets, corn or molasses parallels the refining process of heroin. Repetitive refining: from the poppy juices to opium, then further refined into morphine, and finally to heroin. Man-made sugars are refined several times until finally they are reduced to white crystals.

Artificial fake sweeteners: Saccharin is made from coal tar and formed by dehydrating saccharinic acid. Even though it is more than 300 times sweeter than cane sugar, it has absolutely no food value whatsoever, but causes a very acid reaction in the body. An even worse sweetener is aspartame (Nutrasweet). This excellent ant poison is made with aspartic acid, phenylalanine, and methyl alcohol. Methyl alcohol is a chemical that breaks down in high tem­peratures and turns into formaldehyde and diketopiperazine (DKP); both chemicals are known to cause problems in the nervous system. The symptoms of aspartame are a lot like the symptoms of multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer’s dis­ease as well as a connection to epileptic seizures and brain tumours.

Artificial, fake starches: Macaroni and other pastas are manufactured by removing the bran which is rich in vitamins and minerals. To the ground up wheat is added water—therefore a dehydrated paste food. Breads, cereals, cakes, pastries, donuts and other baked goods made from devitalized white flour are not only devoid of any nutri­tional value, but can be blamed for a vast majority of the ailments that afflict today’s civilization.

Artificial, fake fats: Lard, margarine and similar packing house products, fats, and greases, have their con­structive nutritional value totally destroyed when they are heated to very high temperatures in order to process them. The cooking of donuts, french fries, fish (covered with dough and bread crumbs), and onion rings (which are coated with dough).; in deep-fat fryers cause the person eating them to experience the degeneration and disintegration of the body long before its time.

Artificial, fake beverages: Soft drinks, along with beer are two of the most dangerous of all the drinks. Mixed together are a man-made drug, a corrosive ingredient, carbon dioxide, coloring matter often made from coal tar or from the distillation of coal, or dyes, or heating aluminum with chlo­rine, or from dried and pulver­ized female lice.

Artificial, fake oils: Man-made hydrogenated oils are deadly oil when consumed. Created to help extend the shelf life of foods, it shortens the life of anyone who eats it.

In addition, since foods have been further adulterated by colouring agents for meats (sodium nitrites), food enhancers (monosodium glutamate), preservatives (yeast extracts), and substances created by high cooking tempera­tures (acrylamides), pesticides, herbicides, hormone injec­tions, radiation, excessive sodium, genetic altering, and on and on and on … then in order to prevent disease, a Christian must
avoid all processed foods: that is, foods that come in a box or a can.

SUMMARY

Why are many Christians sick? It is in most cases because of what they have eaten. Instead of eating real food that was created by God which would nourish and regener­ate their cells, they have eaten man-made artificial foods that not only have starved and suffocated their cells but have also afflicted them with poisons.

Deception is an enemy of Christendom. Many assume that the Jews are God’s chosen people and as a result have a faulty prophetic and world view. Many assume that the food at the grocery store and restaurant are safe and nutritious, and as a result are suffering from all kinds of degen­erate and disabling diseases. Amen.
