Christianity Etc › Why Islam Is Rising: What Future Awaits by BibleInterpreta(op): 7:20pm On Aug 26, 2025 |
Why did Judaism rise and decline after the destruction of the Temple? Why did Christianity surge across continents and then fracture into countless denominations? Why is Islam, after centuries of dormancy, now emerging with global strength? Are these random turns of history or steps in a preordained cycle of human development? We have reached the last stage of the process of human development that has been happening for thousands of years. Human civilization emerged from ancient Babylon and developed in two directions: Part of the people followed Abraham and the other part were scattered all over the world. After that, the doctrine of Abraham became the foundation of the three world religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam.
These religions developed in that order, one after the other. Judaism developed directly from Abraham. Christianity was founded around 2,000 years ago when the first Christian communities appeared. And Islam only appeared in the 7th century.
A relative flowering and decline of every religion happens according to these stages. Judaism flourished in its true form until the destruction of the Beit HaMikdash (temple). After the destruction, the Jewish people neglected the principle of “Love your neighbor as yourself,” that was the foundation of the doctrine of Abraham, and so it went into exile. This was a spiritual exile from the altruistic state, a fall from brotherly love into egoism and hatred.
Christianity flourished until the Middle Ages, and after that it began to decline, change, and split with the formation of the Protestant movement.
Islam was in a long dormancy and didn’t express itself in its full power. And only lately, when Judaism and Christianity became so weakened that they stopped determining the form of society, then it began to become stronger.
As of 2025, the Muslim population in Europe is estimated to be around 52–55 million. Islam is increasingly present in European politics, mostly at local and municipal levels, and through cultural lobbying. Representation in Politics in UK: Around 20–25 MPs in the House of Commons identify as Muslim, from both major parties (Labour, Conservative). In Africa, over 500 million people identify as Muslim, forming the majority in many nations and steadily shaping politics, culture, and education. In the U.S., the Muslim population has grown to around 3.8 million (1.1% of the total population), with increasing representation in civic and political life, including 17 Muslim members of Congress as of 2025.
Muslim Population Figures:
Africa
2010: 450 million (~43%) 2020: 600 million (~45%) 2030 (Projected): 650 million (~46%)
United States
2010: 2.6 million (0.8%) 2020: 4.5 million (1.3%) 2030 (Projected): 6.2 million (1.7%)
Europe
2010: 39 million (5.3%) 2020: 45 million (6%) 2030 (Projected): 58 million (8%) 2050 (Projected):
Zero Migration: 53 million (7.4%) Medium Migration: ~75 million (11.2%) High Migration: ~95 million (14%)
Overall, Islam's global rise (from 1.7 billion in 2010 to 2.0 billion in 2020, projected to 2.2 billion by 2030) through intensified jihad "holy war," conversions, marriage to non-muslim girls, and migration from muslim countries to none muslim countries. This is not just about numbers but influence in major global issues.
And indeed, it is written in the Bible that in the end of days, in the last stage of human development, Islam would accumulate great power, as it is written about Ishmael, (Genesis 16:12) “…his hand shall be against every man, and every man’s hand against him… ,” meaning that this religion would ascend above all.
It is impossible to avoid these wars because Islam’s path toward unity is precisely through an inner struggle. The Islamic world will have to undergo a serious fratricidal war and discover the mutual hatred between them that is greater than their hatred of all other nations. It is a natural process, and therefore nothing can be done, and all this will continue.
Judaism flowered for the first 2,000 years after the departure of Abraham from ancient Babylon, meaning approximately until the beginning of the common era. This was a period when Judaism existed in its true spiritual form and in its full power. Yet after that the Jewish people fell from their spiritual level and began to sink into physical desires. Therefore they went into exile. Every generation sank deeper than its predecessor.
After the burst of Judaism, the Christian surge began. Christianity developed in a storm until it squeezed itself out. Today we are in the period of the decline of Christianity, which has lost its former power. In Europe, to be a Christian, nothing is required except for a necklace with a cross around the neck.
In some places Christian fanatics still remain, but these are not people who were Christians from the start, these accepted Christianity in a more recent period, as in South America, for example. For them, Christianity is still a relatively new religion. It had already existed for 2,000 years and it reached America through the missionaries only after it was discovered by Columbus 500 years ago.
Islam in our day is truly beginning to be awakened. Until now, it was in its incubation period. After 2,000 years of the blossoming of Judaism and after that the 2,000 years of the flourishing of Christianity, Islam’s turn has arrived, and at the fullness of its time, it will decline.
A cyclical framework of human spiritual evolution:
Judaism (lunar-solar calendar, middle line). Christianity (solar calendar, left line). Islam (lunar calendar, right line).
In short, each religion embodies a line with the impurity that must be corrected for ultimate harmony in the end-of-days framework. Noteworthy: All the existing religions in the world operate on either the left or right line. At the end, all religions will dissolve, as the impure forces of the right, left, and middle lines are corrected. This explains why to attain God’s quality of love in the intention, one must rise above the degree of religion itself, transcending frameworks, rituals, and divisions to embody the unity and balance that the lines only prepare us to reach.
After all, none of them is involved with discovering the upper world, so developing humanity cannot get any satisfaction through them. We are already coming to this.
In the future we will see that all of the religions will disappear and instead of them humanity must discover the true state of the universe, meaning its relationship and connection with the upper force in the form of absolute attainment of the Creator's quality of love in the intention.

Christianity Etc › Warner Elias Sallman's Iconic 1940 Painting “head Of Christ:” The Painted Lies by BibleInterpreta(op): 9:06am On Aug 17, 2025 |
What if the image that comforted millions was not revelation, but fabrication? Warner Elias Sallman’s 1940 painting Head of Christ became the most reproduced religious picture of the 20th century, stamped into calendars, bulletins, and the memories of generations. Yet behind its soft gaze lies one of history’s greatest visual deceptions: a falsehood painted into truth, until believers could no longer separate icon from idol. If the most important symbol of the religious church system is built on a lie, what else in the system are lies? Warner Elias Sallman's Iconic 1940 Painting “Head of Christ:” The Iconography of a Painted Lies
The “popular picture” of Jesus, the long-haired, fair-skinned, blue-eyed man with a beard, is not historically accurate. It was an artistic creation (Renaissance art, like paintings by Leonardo da Vinci and others).
Timing and Context: Sallman painted “Head of Christ” in 1940, a period of global upheaval (World War II). People wanted a comforting, familiar image of divinity.
Mass Reproduction: The painting was reproduced in millions of prints, calendars, church bulletins, and devotional items by the Salvation Army and other organizations. Once it’s everywhere, it becomes the default mental image.
Reinforcement: Schools, churches, and media kept circulating it. Children grew up internalizing this as the authentic Jesus, so repetition cemented belief, regardless of historical accuracy.
Psychological Comfort: The image is soft, gentle, approachable. People associate it with peace, authority, and moral guidance, making them resistant to questioning its authenticity.
In short, it’s falsehood sold as truth through art, commerce, and psychological conditioning. Humanity bought a comforting idea packaged as reality. If the foundation rests on deception, what does that make of the entire house the religious church system has built? If the religious church system’s most sacred face is a painted lie, then what other lies still hide behind its stained-glass windows? If this symbol, the very face of Christ, is false, then where does the truth of the religious church system really begin, and where does it end?

Christianity Etc › Q&A: What Does It Mean To Die Only Once And After That, Judgment? | Hebrews 9:27 by BibleInterpreta(op): 8:16am On Aug 01, 2025 |
Hebrews 9:27 speaks not of the end of biological life, but of the decisive spiritual moment when the self is stripped bare, and only the soul stands before the Light. This “death” happens once per soul, it is the gate to transformation. And what follows? Not damnation, not reward, but clarity. Judgment is the Light revealing what remains to be corrected. It is not punishment. It is precision. And it is the first step toward true life. Question:
What Does It Mean to Die Only Once and after that, judgment? | Hebrews 9:27
Answer:
• “It is appointed for man to die once” ➤ This does not refer to physical death. It symbolizes the annulment of the ego, the moment when a person completely detaches from the desire to receive for oneself alone. ➤ This “death” is spiritual. It is the point where the lower nature (egoistic will to receive) is fully recognized, evaluated, and voluntarily surrendered. ➤ It happens only once in a major transformative way, when a person crosses the Machsom (spiritual barrier) and enters true spiritual perception.
• “And after that comes judgment” ➤ Once the ego is annulled, the soul undergoes (judgment), not from an external God, but from the Light itself, which reveals what is truly corrected and what remains impure or unaligned with bestowal. ➤ This is the process of spiritual discernment. The person begins to judge his intentions. through the Upper Light, evaluating every intention, every inner attribute. ➤ It is also the beginning of clarifying Reshimot (spiritual records) that now awaken in the soul, leading it through higher degrees of correction.
Noteworthy: • The “death” is the death of egoism, not of the body. • It happens once per degree, as the soul ascends spiritual levels. • “Judgment” is the internal process of intention clarification, guided by the Light. • There is no external judge; the Light that fills the corrected Kli is the judge. • This verse describes the structure of spiritual progress: surrender → illumination → discernment → ascent.

Christianity Etc › Q&A: I’m So Curious To Know What Happens After Death? by BibleInterpreta(op): 7:20am On Aug 01, 2025 |
Forget myths, ghosts, or tunnels of light. Death isn't a mystery, it's a law of nature. No mysticism, focus on the laws of nature, and grounded in the spiritual structure of reality. The real question isn’t what happens after you die… It’s whether you developed anything that survives death while you were alive. Question: I’m so curious to know what happens after D£ATH?
Answer: What happens after death? Physically, the body dies. like an old coat you no longer wear. But the real question is: Did you develop the soul while alive? Because only that part continues. To develop the soul is to attain the intention of love toward people here and now in this world.
Core Spiritual Principles: The body is not you.
You are not the flesh or the brain. You are the desire to receive pleasure, the will to receive.
The body dies, decays, and returns to the earth. It is governed by the same biological program as animals.
The soul is not automatic.
The soul isn’t something you’re born with. A soul is a spiritual vessel (Kli) created through internal work.
It’s the intention to bestow, built above your ego.
If you don’t build it during your life, there is nothing spiritual to continue.
If you develop the soul, it does not die.
That soul becomes a “clothing” for the eternal Light, the Creator.
It exists outside time, space, and motion, above the material world.
When the body dies, the soul continues evolving through higher spiritual degrees.
If you don’t… you reincarnate.
The goal of life is to attain the soul; a real, experiential perception of the higher reality governed by the force of bestowal (the Creator). Once a person achieves this, death becomes irrelevant, their consciousness already exists in a dimension beyond time and space.
Your “Reshimot” (spiritual genes, records) remain. These are data points, impressions of the Light, that must be fulfilled. For those who do not attain the soul during their life, only the body dies and decays but the soul does not "die." Rather, it leaves behind a spiritual record, which contains all the data of that person’s inner work, desires, and potential.
This record re-enters the cycle of life through reincarnations, continuing its correction until the soul is fully developed.
Your reincarnation, not as punishment, but as a continuation of the correction process.
Death is just a transition between stages in a system.
If you've acquired a spiritual vessel, a corrected desire with the intention to bestow, you live in two worlds at once.
If not, your point in the heart returns to this system in a new form until it reaches correction.

How many religions do you know? And how many have closely studied to come to this conclusion As a Supernal Science Scholar, I note that there are over 4,000 religions in the world. |
Christianity Etc › Every Religion Contributes Evil To The World by BibleInterpreta(op): 2:06pm On Jul 30, 2025 |
Every religion claims to guide humanity to God, yet all contribute to the suffering of the world. Why? Because they’ve abandoned the essence and clung to the form. The rituals remain. The love is lost. And without attaining love in the intention, even the best religious system becomes a channel for evil. Every religion today walks either the path of the right line or the left line, either focusing on rigid restriction, or boundless emotionality. But neither path, on its own, leads to true spiritual correction. The truth lies in the middle line, not in actions, but in intention: to align with the Creator’s quality of love. Without this alignment, each in isolation, contributes evil to the world, including all religions.
All religions, have stumbled in conveying the true spiritual message. God is the quality of love sought by all religions but lost in dogmas, rituals, and misinterpretation. To rise above the ego & attain love in the intentions, unlock this truth beyond texts.
God is the quality of love, a boundless and altruistic force that transcends human emotion and encompasses the essence of creation, connection, and unity. To attain this quality of love in your intention, through conscious, selfless, and sincere striving to emulate this divine attribute in thought, action, and purpose, is to achieve godliness, a state of spiritual alignment where one reflects the divine nature and contributes to the harmony of existence. When one is ready to attain equivalence of form with God's quality of love in the intention, one must transcend the degree of religion.
What is worship? What is speaking in the spirit? Worship or speaking in the spirit is to align your intentions with God's quality of love. God is the quality of love and your intention is the spiritual nature in you. When one is ready to attain equivalence of form with God's quality of love in the intention, one must transcend the degree of religion.

Its more about spiritual lineages and the expected fruits from such lines.
To whom do you belong to? To the question “to whom do you belong?” I invest my time and energy in learning the Holy Scriptures and the interpretation. It isn’t about labels for me, it’s about alignment of essence and spiritual virtues. |

May I ask you plainly, which esoteric group do you belong to? When one is ready to attain spiritual truth in the bible, one must transcend the degree of religion. |
Christianity Etc › Q&A: Who Is 666? by BibleInterpreta(op): 12:53pm On Jun 25, 2025 |
“Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man...” Revelation 13:18Q&A:
Question:
Q&A: Who is 666?
Answer:
The number 666 is a specific spiritual state. Numbers, names, and symbols in the Bible are coded signs pointing to inner spiritual qualities and forces within each of us. The Book of Revelation, where the number 666 appears, is deeply symbolic. It is not describing an external devil or a political figure, it describes what happens within the human soul as it ascends through spiritual correction. 666 represents the full egoistic qualities. It is the complete revelation of egoistic desire that resists connection, unity, and love of others. In other words, 666 is the mark of the ego that separates humanity from spiritual attainment.
This is not evil in itself. In fact, it's necessary. We must first reveal the full measure of ego within us in order to correct it. 666 symbolizes that full revelation before the final correction, a stage of awareness that leads us to spiritual work. So when people ask, "Who is 666?" The answer is: 666 is within us all. It is our uncorrected ego. And it is also the key to redemption, if we know how to work with it properly, through the method of correction with the right intention to bestow.
Revelation 13:18 “Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.” This verse is not speaking about a literal man, nor is it a prophecy about a particular individual in history or politics. Rather, “the number of a man” refers to the inner structure of the human ego. The "beast" symbolizes the egoistic desire that rules over a person, the final stage of desire when it is entirely for self-reception. 666 is the complete dominance of egoistic intention in all of man’s spiritual attributes, prior to their transformation into bestowal and love. So the verse is a spiritual diagnosis, not a historical accusation.

Christianity Etc › Q&A: Where Is Noah’s Ark? 3 by BibleInterpreta(op): 10:27am On Jun 24, 2025 |
In the story of Noah and the Flood, discover a timeless blueprint for navigating life’s inner storms, building your own ark, and emerging as a spiritual embryo ready to ascend to the Upper World. Q&A:
Question:
Q&A: Where Is Noah’s Ark?
Answer:
THE FLOOD
The Nature of the Flood
Maim is the flood that will drown your spiritual embryo if you heed the body’s questions, destroying all that you’ve worked so hard to assemble within. Don’t listen to it! The flood comes as a ruthless force that can destroy everything. Those desires that couldn’t endure the questions, meaning those that didn’t “come into the ark,” truly perish in its waters: “And all flesh perished that moved upon the earth.” And yet, the paradox is that for all its ruthlessness, the flood also purifies.
However, it purifies only those in whom the desires to attain the spiritual world prevail. It is as if man doesn’t even hear the rational questions of his body as he advances toward the goal, no matter what. In this case he acts like Noah, building himself an ark (finding the right books, the right teacher, and the right environment). He will also take shelter there with his numerous individual desires that are yet to be corrected (but will be corrected as the ark “sails” the flood waters).
The Forty Days and the Ark “Then the flood came upon the earth for forty days, and the water increased and lifted up the ark, so that it rose above the earth.” What is the meaning of these 40 days, during which your body pelted you with all your desires with its seemingly logical questions: “Ma?” and “Mi?”
Forty is a very significant number in spirituality. Naturally, we’re not talking about days here. The number forty represents the quality of bestowal, the Creator’s quality. Forty is also the numerical value of the letter Mem. In Hebrew it is written as ם. As you can see, it resembles a closed space, but in reality it consists of two letters Dalet (ד) joined together. One of the two is upright (stemming from the Hebrew word Delet—door), while the other Dalet is upside down. When joined together they form a closed letter Mem (ם). However, when the moment comes, they will open.
If you manage to withstand those forty days of the mind’s onslaught and not break, “the water will lift up the ark” and it will “float on the surface of the water.” This means that the two letters Dalet lock and form a “sealed” letter Mem, and you “float.”
The Spiritual Embryo You become a spiritual embryo in the womb of the mother (the Upper One, the closed Mem), which protects you, cares for you and feeds you. You remain under its full protection for as long as you grow there. Your Upper mother (Heb. Ima) won’t let anything hurt you. You begin to float on the water, toward the Upper World.
“…and only Noah was left, together with those that were with him in the ark.” Thus “water” transforms from a destructive force into the light of mercy for you, cleansing you and helping you advance. You ascend above the flood waters in which our world is currently drowning, torn apart by the ego and succumbing to the questions of the body.
Cleansing Through the Light of Mercy Now let’s repeat one last time how you can cleanse, rather than drown, in the time of the flood, and how you can become a “spiritual embryo” and enter the Mem. To accomplish this, you must pick up the necessary books and begin to “wash” yourself with them, as though with clean water. Bathe in the Light of Mercy, which, through your correct study, will cleanse you on the outside. You draw it like a magnet by reading these books, and it will fill you on the inside when you are open to the Light and its quality of bestowal, whereupon the Light will enter you.
It is precisely the Light of mercy that helps you reveal the one desire amidst all your other desires, the desire called Noah.
Like flood waters, the same Light “floods” those desires and forces within you that need to be “thoroughly drenched” so as to cleanse them for subsequent use.
The Duration in the Ark How long must your desires for spiritual advancement remain in the ark? For as long as it takes for the “flood waters” to rise above the “earth” (your remaining desires) until they “drown” in the Light of Mercy, cleansing to such an extent that you can use them correctly for your inner, personal and only desire, known as “Noah.”
“…The water decreased steadily until the tenth month; in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains became visible.”
Emerging from the Ark You were in the ark, detached from all the egoistic desires. You didn’t use them, but remained “inside” the books and the thoughts of spiritual ascent, like an embryo in the mother’s womb. You were under the Creator’s protection, sheltered by Him. You reveled in that silence; it was like Paradise. But now you’re grown and mature, and the time of your emergence into the world is nearing. It’s time to begin your “exit from the ark.”
Until now, you were constantly praying for your birth, which is called “raising MAN” to the Creator, the Upper One. The acronym MAN stands for Mayin Nukvin (female waters, referring to the amniotic fluid).
This means that you must begin your own path, to “leave the Creator’s womb,” as if with female waters, to be born and start working with your thus far “light” egoistic desires. You didn’t take them with you into the “ark,” having put them on hold for the right time. Now that they’ve been properly washed and cleansed with “flood waters,” it’s time for you to start correcting them.
The Path to the Spiritual World In doing so you become increasingly closer to the spiritual world, to the Creator, since the end goal is the correction of the entire ego. Only then will you feel free, immortal, and absolutely blissful. This is what the Creator wants for you. This is the only condition under which you can be close to Him.
You have already begun traversing this path. Now don’t stop!
So, the “waters break,” much like amniotic fluid during labor.

Christianity Etc › Q&A: Where Is Noah’s Ark? 2 by BibleInterpreta(op): 10:39am On Jun 23, 2025 |
This isn’t just about ancient wood and floodwaters. It’s about the spiritual architecture hidden within you. Q&A:
Question:
Q&A: Where Is Noah’s Ark?
Answer:
NOAH’S SPARK
“And God saw the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way upon the earth” (Genesis 6:12). This means that all our desires are egoistic. However, we still see amidst all that corruption a certain point, miniscule and lonely, which is completely opposite from everything else on the earth. This is the “point in the heart.”
At the first egoistic level, this point is called “Noah.” The Noah within us is our first spiritual desire. It may be tiny and barely discernible, but we already feel it living inside us. Thus, we have discovered Noah.
Noah’s spark lives inside every one of us. The problem is that we’ve surrounded it with heaps of selfishness that continually drown out its soft voice. As the ego grew, it coated Noah with more and more layers, overwhelming it with incessant desires. The pursuit of pleasure distanced man from Noah, making him coarser and more egoistic as Noah’s voice grew more and more faint. Finally, he has become essentially silent.
But Noah didn’t go anywhere. He constitutes the basis of man’s soul. Indeed, he is eternal, and simply waits for the time when man will turn back toward him. In fact, this point we call “Noah” is the very center of our desires and is directly connected to the Creator. It is also eternal, whereas the egoistic desires surrounding it are short-lived, fleeting, vain and empty. Only that which aspires upward to the spiritual world is eternal, and that is where our desire known as “Noah” aims.
Dear reader, have you ever wanted to suddenly stop this crazy rat race we call “life,” shut your eyes, cover your ears, and feel the silence that lives inside of you? Have you ever wished to hear the inner voice, un-obscured by foreign influences? Have you ever wished to hear your own voice, and in so doing, seemingly disappear from this world, which imposes on you its desires from dawn to dusk?
The TV, radio, and newspapers spray you with their advertisements; people both familiar and strangers force their thoughts and desires on you. Money! Power! Fame! That’s what you hear left and right from your environment, until you start to think that these are actually your thoughts. Caught in the daily vortex of life, you can no longer tell whether it’s you who wants these things or someone else. Your inner voice has been suppressed, smothered by all that’s happening around you. As you run along the highway of life, you’re spurred on by foreign desires. It’s only later that you realize that you were wrong, that you never wanted any of these things, that they were simply dictated to you, forced onto you by someone else.
How blissful it feels to be able to stop and hear your own, single desire, pure and disconnected from the material world. It’s the desire to experience spirituality, which is known in the Old Testament as “Noah.” It lives on inside of you, whether you’re a president or a mass murderer. When you wade your way through the husk of foreign feelings and thoughts, you will ultimately arrive at Noah and hear the voice: “...for you have I seen righteous before Me in this generation” (Genesis 7:1).
If you can hear the Noah within you, this tiny altruistic spark called, “Noah the Righteous,” if you can sense the desire to ascend above this world, then you are ready to achieve the peace, security, and eternity that await you on your spiritual path. And if you’re not, you will continue to spend every waking moment slaving away to foreign bodily desires, as they continue to whisper in your ear, “Go on, indulge in the pleasures of this world, live for yourself, don’t be an idiot!” And what happens when you succumb to these desires? The body grows feeble and dies and gets tossed int the ground to decompose. The death of the flesh is inevitable. A pity, isn’t it? You work your entire life for the body, but in the end, it betrays you.
What about Noah? Well, Noah doesn’t betray you because Noah is the desire of the eternal soul. It is connected to eternity, and if you attach yourself to Noah, you become eternal as well. It’s that simple. All you have to do is to want it. That is precisely what the book speaks of in the chapter about Noah.
“And the earth was filled with violence… it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way upon the earth” (Genesis 6:11–12). We remember that the word “earth” (Heb. Eretz) stems from the word Ratzon—desire. Therefore, “The earth was filled with violence” and “It was corrupt” means that your desires are corrupted: you exhaust yourself in pursuit of another’s possessions, you are completely egoistic, and you live only for yourself. You already feel that this attitude causes destruction within and all around you (just look at what’s happening in the world—we are tearing it to shreds with our egos).
But is there really no answer to all this? Sure there is. Find the “Noah” inside you and save your life, as the text says: “And, behold, I will destroy them with the earth” (Genesis 6:13). Follow the Creator’s advice, as He is the Supernal Intellect or Supernal Law, and this is what He says: “But I will establish My covenant with you; and you shall come into the ark, you, and your sons, and your wife, and your sons’ wives with you. And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shall you bring into the ark, to keep them alive with you; they shall be male and female. Of the fowl after their kind, and of the cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every sort shall come unto you, to keep them alive” (Genesis 6:18–20).
What does this mean? The whole world is inside you. You are at the highest degree of existence, the tip of the pyramid that includes all the animate, vegetative, and inanimate souls located below you. They are “bound” to you as the one true creature that has a soul and the responsibility to raise itself and the whole world to the level of the Creator. Thus, this chapter describes how the desire called “Noah” inside you assembles all the corrected parts of the soul (human, animate, vegetative and even the uncorrected parts that aspire for correction), which is the meaning of “two of every sort,” and comes into the ark with them.
The ark is a kind of screen (intention of love and bestowal), a protective force field that you create around you, and that helps you resist external disturbances, meaning all the egoistic influences of this world. You simply refuse to allow anything to enter you, negating all contact with your environment. By doing so, you don’t become a hermit or abandon your family and this world altogether, absolutely not! You still go to work, make your living and go about your business as usual, but only externally. Internally, you try with all your might to deny entrance to the material world. With the help of the ark, the protective screen (intention to bestow), you seek answers to the questions, “Who am I? What am I living for? What is most important to me in life?”
You haven’t found the answer yet, but you keep searching, and that is already incredibly significant. You are preparing yourself to find the answer, and you are already certain that your search will be successful, since the point in the heart within you has already awakened and won’t let you rest for a moment. This point maintains direct contact with the Creator, and as it grows within you, it forms a vessel that’s ready to receive the Upper Light. That is the voice you hear, telling you you’re on the right track and that you will definitely reach the Creator, even if you don’t yet feel Him.

Foreign Affairs › Re: Is The Israel Of 1948 The Same Israel In The Bible? by BibleInterpreta: 5:11pm On Jun 20, 2025 |
Obrigardo: I'm asking a legitimate question Is the state of Israel founded in 1948 still the same Israel in the Bible? The State of Israel founded in 1948 is not the same as the Israel described in the Bible. It is important to understand that, “biblical Israel” is not a geographical location or a political entity. Rather, “Israel”: Yashar-El, meaning “straight to the Creator,” refers to an inner quality within a person or a group of people who yearn to attain the purpose of creation: to adhere to the Creator by resembling Him in qualities of bestowal and love. The modern political state was established as a refuge after centuries of exile and suffering, particularly following the Holocaust. But this does not automatically make it the "spiritual Israel" described in the Torah. The biblical Israel is a spiritual concept: a people united "as one man with one heart" under the law of love your neighbor as yourself. Without that internal unity and orientation toward spiritual correction, the land is merely physical territory. In fact, the return to the land of Israel without the correction of the heart would bring more suffering than exile. So the answer is no, the true Israel of the Bible is a spiritual state of people who correct their egoism, unite above differences, and work toward the revelation of the Creator among them, regardless of their geographical location. |

Christianity Etc › Q&A: Where Is Noah’s Ark? 1 by BibleInterpreta(op): 12:59pm On Jun 20, 2025 |
Everyone thinks they know Noah. A righteous man, a flood, an ark, some animals. But what if the real flood is not what the religious church system taught you? This isn’t history. It’s your blueprint. The real question isn’t what happened, but “Where am I in this story?”Q&A:
Question:
Q&A: Where Is Noah’s Ark?
Answer:
“Noah was in his generations a man righteous and whole-hearted; Noah walked with God” (Genesis 6:9). So begins the chapter on Noah, immediately confusing the reader with what appears to be a straightforward story about our world. However, it confuses only those who aren’t yet ready to read the Bible differently, still finding the simple historical narrative about a person named Noah satisfactory. Let us leave them to their search for Noah’s Ark on Mount Ararat, and delve into the text, instead. As much as we can, let us understand how it is connected to each and every one of us, to our spiritual search, to our souls, and the very purpose of our lives.
Let us start by recounting the topic of this chapter. Having seen that the earth is full of sin, God makes a covenant with Noah to build an ark and take shelter there with his wife, kids, and animals. In the meantime, God will flood the earth, effectively destroying everyone. Then, Noah is to emerge from his ark with his family and the saved animals, and they will become the progenitors of future generations of people and animals on Earth. The people will wish to build a Tower of Babel and speak the same language, but they will fail. Then, they will disperse throughout the world and stop understanding one another.
Ask yourself, “Where am I in this story of Noah?” Or better yet, “What is the meaning of my inner Noah?” You must seek only one approach to the contents of this book: “Everything I read here is about me.” Noah, the righteous, his wife, kids, and all the animals, the ark and the Tower of Babel all exist within me. They are forces, desires that govern my inner and outer worlds. All I have to do is get to them and sense them, and the gates to all the secrets will open for me.
In the previous chapter, Beresheet (Genesis, “In the Beginning”) we spoke of the creation of the world, the abode of souls. We clarified how, following all the animal desires, the human desire was born, symbolizing man’s aspiration for the spiritual world, for the Creator, which then shattered into myriad tiny pieces that fell into our world. This descent is still continuing. It will continue until we are ready to face our primordial egos, to see our true “I.” We have yet to arrive at this point; we must still be prepped to not only see the ego but endure it, and not only endure it, but resolve to escape from it.
Jumping a bit ahead, know that our “I” will be personified by Pharaoh. But we’ll talk more about that later on. In the meantime, we’re making our way to Pharaoh, to the complete realization that we are slaves to our egos. The descent has only just begun. For the moment, we feel as if we’re still close to the spiritual world. We continue to sense the Light—this initial joy from meeting the Creator. In other words, the Creator isn’t yet completely concealed from us, so the night of our escape from Egypt hasn’t yet arrived. However, we already feel ourselves as egoists, and this feeling is extremely distressing.

Christianity Etc › Q&A: Who Is The Messiah, And When Will The Messiah Come? by BibleInterpreta(op): 11:49am On Jun 03, 2025 |
Q&A:
Question:
Q&A: Who Is the Messiah, and When Will The Messiah Come?
Answer:
The Messiah is not some bearded man coming from the sky, nor is he a political leader or prophet in the conventional sense. When we speak of the Messiah, we are talking about a force of nature, an upper force of love, connection, and unity. It is not flesh and blood; it is a spiritual pulling force, and this is why in Hebrew it's called Mashiach, from the root Limshoch, “to pull.” It pulls us out of our egoism, out of the state where each one of us is immersed in their narrow self-interest, and lifts us toward the quality of bestowal, unity, and love.
The more pain, division, confusion, and crisis we experience in our world, the more we are being prepared, ripened, you could say, to recognize the true enemy: our egoistic nature. This is the engine behind all human suffering. As long as we operate from self-interest, separation, and control, we will continue to see conflict on every level, individual, societal, and global. But when we begin to truly feel that egoism is the root of our problems, and not other people, then we are ready to call upon the correcting force in nature, the Messiah.
What does it mean to "call upon" the Messiah?
It means to awaken a genuine desire for inner change, from egoistic desire to the intention of love, from domination to connection, from division to unity. That is the true prayer, the real redemption. The Messiah is not an outside intervention. It’s not a celestial drama. It is the natural force of development that exists in reality and is waiting to be activated by our desire to transcend religion, and corporeality.
So what is the “Coming of the Messiah”?
It is the awakening in humanity of the need to transcend our egoistic nature, and with that awakening, we begin to attract the positive force of unity hidden in nature, the Creator. This is what the Bible refers to as the “coming of the Messiah”: the revelation of this inner, correcting force, which pulls us out (Limshoch) of our egoistic perception and inserts us into a new spiritual reality, a life based on “love thy friend as thyself.” When we live in such a system of connection above our differences, this is redemption. This is the spiritual birth of a new humanity.
So, in short:
The Messiah is not a fantasy. The Messiah is not a person. The Messiah is a force, a spiritual engine of love and unity, That we awaken in proportion to our desire to rise above egoism. And this force is within the fabric of reality itself.
What Will Change When the Messiah Comes?
Everything. But not in the Hollywood way. Not through magic, but through a change in human nature. • People will begin to feel others as themselves. • Society will reorganize into a system of mutual care. • Economies, education, and governance will all reflect the value of “love thy neighbor as thyself.”
Why Do So Many People Wait for Him?
Because deep down, every soul feels the exile, the separation from that perfect, connected state we once had, and to which we must return. People don’t understand this consciously, but this is what they mean when they say “the Messiah is coming.” They feel the crisis, the dead end, and they want something higher. But they don’t know that the Messiah is not a person from the sky, it’s a correction of desire. We are waiting, but we don’t know what we’re waiting for. The bible tells us, don’t wait. Start to work. Start to build love and unity in the intention. That’s how we bring the Messiah, not from the sky, but from within. So, who is the Messiah? He is the spiritual force of unity that lives within nature. He will come not on a donkey, not through clouds, but through your heart, when you’re ready to stop living for yourself and start living for others. That’s redemption. That’s the real miracle.

Lucifyre: 😄 Guess i brought out the kuKu 🤡 They are usually the loudest. I began to recognize them, the same characters, over and over. Not names. Types. Archetypes. Personas wearing human faces but driven by algorithms of ego, ignorance, and contrarian fuel. They were everywhere. They weren’t just wrong. They were confidently wrong. And disturbingly… they were convincing to many. But let’s rewind. Let’s take them one by one.

MaxInDHouse: Because Satan was hauled down in the year 1914 {Revelations 12:7-12} since then he's been increasing sects claiming Christians with contradicting teachings and conflicting doctrines.
WHY the year 1914?
Because that's the year Jesus began ruling in heaven and started to pay more attention to planet earth Jesus also began restructuring his own group that year so that everything Jesus taught about his group could be noticed globally by honest hearted and sincere individuals who wants to IDENTIFY his real disciples! John 13:34-35
Today many are seeing it but they don't understand why this is so! When one is ready to know the truth and attain the Creator's quality of love and bestowal in the intention, one must transcend the degree of religion and all the over 40,000 religious church system's denominations. |

Lucifyre: Its funny how fast the patronizing nice guy act turns into snarky condescending ad hominems once the baseless assertions are shown up for the absolute undemonstrable nonsense they are. Predictable yet never fails to make me laugh. At least there was one demonstration for the so called "quiet ones" watching. 😅
P.S He even had to edit and change the comment to make it more snarky. Dude was like this one aint mean enough.😄 You can’t out-comment them. You can’t out-volume them. You can out-think them. Tactical Suggestions: Spot the Archetype Early: Notice their patterns. Does someone dismiss facts outright (belief perseverance)? Are they overly confident yet very ignorant (Dunning-Kruger)? Are they arguing just to argue (contrarian)? They thrive on reactions. Starve them by focusing on substantive points. And if you don’t speak up, the silent majority hears only one side. Refuse emotional baiting. And most importantly: don’t let the noise break your own clarity. |

Lucifyre: The irony is just too frigging loud and funny, like quoting Einstein while denying the very objectivity that made his work revolutionary. Objectivity isn’t a vibe you “develop,” it’s the standard by which claims/assertions are tested regardless of who's observing. Your method isn’t reproducible, unless you count repeating vague feelings and calling them data. Even your fellow religious peope all over this thread have called you out for spouting nonsense confidently and yet you stuck with it. Talk about irony.
And funny how you pivot to diagnosing me with internet personality disorders, as if projection counts as argument. I'm not here to impress the “quiet ones watching”, I’m here to call out nonsense for what it is. Nonsense asserted as facts by lieing, dishonest, disngenious and confused people Who claim to know what they're saying by spouting absolute dross like the "bible precedes religion". Someone who isn't thinking wouldn't even say something that dumb but yet... Frigging irony.
Still waiting on one just one claim that's testable beyond your own imagination. Even the schizophrenic have a vivid imagination to come up with undemonstratable and unerifiable nonsense. You ain't special. There's a reason u've got nothing but vague empty noise. It's undemonstrable nonsense 😌.

Christianity Etc › Q&A: What Does The Term "Dominion" Imply In The Context Of Genesis 1:28? by BibleInterpreta(op): 6:45pm On Jun 02, 2025 |
Q&A:
Question:
Is it morally justifiable to dominate other species simply because a religious text says so?
How should modern humans reconcile this verse with current environmental crises?
Can “dominion” coexist with sustainability and conservation?
Does this command justify practices like industrial fishing, factory farming, or deforestation?
If humans have “dominion,” do they also bear ultimate responsibility for ecological harm?
Answer:
The verse, "…and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that creeps upon the earth” (Genesis 1:28), is often misunderstood when read on a superficial level. It appears to give humanity license to rule over nature, to exploit and control it. But from the perspective of the bible, this dominion is not physical, but spiritual. ...“fish of the sea,” “fowl of the air,” and “every living thing” represent spiritual qualities or desires within a person that must be corrected. To “have dominion” means to correct, elevate, and bring into balance these various levels of desire in accordance with the spiritual purpose of creation. It does not imply domination through egoistic power, but rather governance through spiritual alignment with the Creator’s quality of bestowal - love thy neighbor as thyself. The Creator gives man dominion as a responsibility: to raise the whole of creation to its intended perfected state. And we do this not by conquering the world outside, but by transforming the world within - our egoism, our separation, our hatred - into connection, love, and unity. Only then does man truly "rule" creation - by becoming its faithful steward, not its exploiter.
“…and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that creeps upon the earth.” By correcting your egoistic desires (the still, vegetative and animate), you also correct the entire universe. Remember this statement for now. Soon we will clarify it, and you will see that your work determines everything that happens around you. Man bears tremendous responsibility over what happens in the world. Because he doesn’t yet understand it—living a life driven by beastly desires—he is hardly to blame. When this realization comes, however, the real work for which he was created will begin. “So what’s the deal?” you may ask, “If I start on the path of correction (first of all, there are no ifs—everyone will have to start on this path sooner or later), I will automatically correct everything in my environment.” This is true. All the problems we see in Nature simply mirror what’s happening within us. The impending ecological catastrophe, pandemic, contamination of rivers and seas, extinction of species, and extreme weather events are all reflections of us, the egoistic essence that has enslaved us.

Lucifyre: What you actually need is a dictionary. Your so called “reproducible methodology” is entirely subjective, personal experience isn't and is never a substitute for objective evidence when dealing with truth. Truth isn’t whatever you feel after meditating hard enough. It’s objective. Look it up. Your demand for ‘objective evidence’ ignores the fact that objectivity itself is a construct of the observer’s development - Einstein You are wrong to assume evidence is only what your current perception can grasp. Ever spent time on Nairaland or social media and felt like the same types of people show up in every argument? That’s because they do. Dunning-Kruger Disciple: The super confident guy who talks like an expert but clearly doesn’t understand what he’s saying. Then there’s the Belief Perseverance Poster: One who sticks to false info no matter how many facts you show them, and the Contrarian Disorder Commenter: The always-opposite dude who disagrees just to stand out. These kinds of people aren’t just annoying, they confuse others, spread lies, and make real conversations harder. The best thing you can do? Spot them early, don’t fall for the bait, and always speak clearly so others, the quiet ones watching, can see what makes sense. |

JimRohn: In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Just
Dear BibleInterpreta,
I appreciate your attempt to engage with difficult scriptural texts in a way that seeks moral and spiritual clarity. However, from an Islamic standpoint, your interpretative framework raises several significant concerns—both theological and methodological—that must be addressed directly.......
...We do not need to choose between symbolism and ethics. Islam embraces both—within the limits set by God.
وَاللَّهُ يَهْدِي مَن يَشَاءُ إِلَىٰ صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ “And Allah guides whom He wills to a straight path.” (Qur’an 2:213)
