The question asks, “ *If Lazarus died again, what was the essence of Jesus resurrecting him?* ”


The answer was clearly stated in Jesus’ prayer before He shouted, “Lazarus, come forth.” The resurrection was a sign for the living, a revelation of Christ’s identity, a summons to belief, and a real extension of life whose value was not cancelled by a later death.

One. John 11:42–45 records Jesus praying, “I knew that You always hear Me, but I say this for the benefit of the people standing here, so they may believe that You sent Me.” Then Jesus called in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!” The man who had been dead came out, his hands and feet bound in linen and his face wrapped in cloth. Jesus commanded, “Unwrap him and let him go.” Many Jews who had come to Mary, saw what Jesus did, and believed in Him.

The first essence was therefore belief. Many believed in Jesus and were converted through the raising of Lazarus. The sign was not wasted because Lazarus later died; it had already revealed the One who sent Jesus, confronted unbelief, and brought living people into faith.

Two. Jesus was proving that He is the Resurrection and the Life. Death cannot stop Him. If His word could call a man back after that man had been dead and buried for four days, then people could believe that even if Jesus Christ died and was buried for three days, He would surely rise from the dead according to His word.

You cannot believe that Jesus raised Lazarus in this manner while refusing the truth that Jesus also raised Himself from the dead. Lazarus became a visible sign that Christ’s authority reaches into the grave and that death must answer His voice.

Three. Before the tomb was opened, Jesus told Martha, “Your brother shall rise again.” Martha answered, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.” Jesus replied, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he die, shall live again; and everyone who lives and believes in Me shall not die forever. Do you believe this?” John 11:23–26.

Jesus did not merely promise to perform a resurrection. He identified Himself as the Resurrection and the Life. Lazarus coming forth made that identity visible before the last day.

Four. The question sounds as though Lazarus dying again defeated or wasted his resurrection. It did not. A temporary return to earthly life can fulfil a purpose even when mortality later resumes. The value of restored time is measured by what that time reveals, permits, changes, and completes—not by whether the restored person remains upon earth forever.

Five. Lazarus returning from the dead also granted the kind of request made by the rich man in hell fire. The rich man asked Abraham to send Lazarus back from the dead to help people upon earth repent or amend their ways, so they would not enter the same place of regret and torment. The raising of Lazarus showed the living a witness from the grave, yet the responsibility to believe still remained with those who saw and heard.

Six. Learn the value of even one more second of life. Dead people in hell would beg God for one second or one minute of life again, even if they had to die again afterward. That moment could become their greatest gift or treasure because it would provide time to repent, convert, and no longer remain doomed forever in hell fire.

Only a very few have experienced such a second chance. Therefore, never mock a case in which someone died, was raised to life, and later died again. You may one day cry endlessly for the same chance, and because you mocked that privilege, the opportunity may never be given to you.

Seven. Even some who made it to heaven may wish they had one additional minute to add to or remove from what they did upon earth. Yet they can neither add nor remove anything connected with their earthly deeds and judgments because their case is closed and sealed. While you are alive, time remains a field of decision. Afterward, the record cannot be rewritten by regret.

Eight. In the last days all the dead will rise. Some will rise only to face what Scripture calls the Second Death. The fact that they die again does not defeat, ridicule, or make meaningless their momentary rising to final judgment. Raising all the dead is not waste, even when the wicked afterward enter the Second Death.

John 5:28–29 says, “Do not wonder at this, for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves shall hear His voice and shall come forth: those who have practiced good unto a resurrection of life, and those who have practiced evil unto a resurrection of judgment.” Resurrection brings every life before its appointed outcome.

Nine. Even within hell’s torments, the dead are refreshed to repeat another cycle of dying, decomposing, being destroyed, and suffering. A body may be eaten, burned, and reduced until almost everything is gone, then return to fullness so that another cycle of destruction can begin. The recycling continues so the soul never finds rest, never escapes through complete non-existence, and continues to feel the pains forever and ever.

Ten. Therefore, Lazarus dying again did not cancel the essence of his resurrection. His return caused many to believe, revealed that the Father sent Jesus, proved Christ’s authority over a four-day grave, testified beforehand to Christ’s own resurrection, displayed Jesus as the Resurrection and the Life, granted precious additional time, and warned every living person to use life before the case is closed.

Death may have touched Lazarus again, but death could never erase what Christ revealed through calling him out. The question is not merely whether Lazarus later died. The question Jesus asked Martha still confronts every hearer: “I am the resurrection and the life. Do you believe this?”

The assertion says there is one person in the Bible much greater than Jesus, although nobody calls him God: Melchizedek in Hebrews 7:1–4. That assertion is wrong. There is no man inside or outside the Bible who is greater than the Lord Jesus Christ. Not even Melchizedek was greater than Jesus.

One. Announcing “exegesis, not eisegesis” does not settle revelation. Neither exegesis nor eisegesis replaces the need for the Holy Spirit of God for revelation and discernment. Words must be examined, but the Person, order, fulfilment, and spiritual reality disclosed through those words must also be perceived.

Two. Melchizedek was king of Salem, king of righteousness, king of peace, and priest of the Most High God. The important word is “was.” Those titles do not make him God, and they do not place him above Christ. Melchizedek held those offices as a placeholder until the Lord Jesus Christ came to take over their fullness. Jesus is now and forever all these and more: King of Righteousness, King of Peace, King of Salem, King of the Jews, King of Israel, King of all kings, and Lord of all lords.

Revelation 19:16 declares, “And He has a name written on His robe and on His thigh: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.” Melchizedek’s earlier office points forward; Christ’s present and eternal dominion fulfils and surpasses it.

Three. Melchizedek met Abram returning from battle, blessed him, and received a tenth from him. Yet Abram was not already Abraham when they met, and he was not yet the friend of God. The encounter with Melchizedek did not by itself give him the name Abraham or bring him into the attained reality of friendship with God.

Abraham attained these through meeting the Lord Jesus Christ. John 8:56–58 says, “Your father Abraham rejoiced that he would see My day. He saw it and was glad.” The Jews replied, “You are not yet fifty years old, and You have seen Abraham?” Jesus declared, “Truly, truly, I tell you, before Abraham was born, I am!” Abraham’s joy reached beyond Melchizedek’s historical appearance to the day and eternal identity of Christ.

Four. Melchizedek blessing Abram and receiving tithes demonstrates the greatness of his assigned priestly office. It does not prove that Melchizedek is greater than Jesus. A placeholder may hold genuine authority before the One whose fullness eventually occupies and surpasses that office. The blessing, tithe, kingship, and priesthood must be read within that order of preparation and fulfilment.

Five. The claim that Melchizedek must be Jesus’ king because Jesus is righteous, or must rule the Prince of Peace because Melchizedek was king of peace, reverses the order. The titles Melchizedek held before were provisional titles. The true and present King of Righteousness and King of Peace is the Lord Jesus Christ. He does not stand beneath Melchizedek’s former title; He possesses the complete and eternal reality to which that title pointed.

Six. Hebrews describes Melchizedek as without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God. The assertion compares this with Jesus having a mother and a genealogy, then concludes that Melchizedek must be supreme. But the credentials of Melchizedek do not explain the origin of Christ’s divinity.

Jesus Christ was God in the beginning, before anything made was made. He did not become God when He was born, and He was not called God merely because of His virgin birth. Jesus Christ was simply God incarnate: God became Man and dwelt among human beings. His mother and human genealogy belong to His incarnation; they do not mark the beginning of His divine existence.

Seven. Melchizedek, with all those credentials—without father, without mother, without recorded beginning of days or end of life, king of righteousness, king of Salem or peace, and priest of the Most High—was a placeholder for the Lord Jesus Christ. The fullness of God was not complete in Melchizedek. Therefore, Melchizedek cannot be called or worshipped as God, even if Melchizedek was part of God.

The Lord Jesus Christ has the fullness of the Godhead in Himself. He is the express and perfect Image and Person of God. If you have seen Him, you have seen God. This is not merely one more title beside Melchizedek’s titles; this is the fullness that distinguishes Christ from every provisional office and representation.

Eight. First Timothy 3:16 says, “And undeniably, great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh, was justified in the Spirit, was seen by angels, was proclaimed among the Gentiles, was believed on in the world, was received up in glory.” Jesus is not a man who later received a divine reputation. He is God manifested in flesh.

Nine. Philippians 2:5–10 says, “Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, existing in the form of God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to death—even death on a cross. Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the name above all names, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth.”

Christ’s servant form did not cancel His form of God. His humiliation revealed willing obedience; His exaltation displays the name before which every realm must bow.

Ten. Colossians 2:9 gives the matter without a long argument: “For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.” Scripture does not say that the fullness merely visited Him, stood near Him, or was partially represented by Him. The fullness dwells in Him bodily.

Eleven. In John 14:9–11 Jesus says, “Philip, I have been with you all this time, and still you do not know Me? Anyone who has seen Me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me? The words I say to you, I do not speak on My own. Instead, it is the Father dwelling in Me, performing His works. Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me—or at least believe on account of the works themselves.”

The conclusion is direct. Melchizedek was a genuine king, priest, blesser, and placeholder. Jesus Christ is God incarnate, the fullness of the Godhead bodily, the perfect Image and Person of God, King of kings, and Lord of lords. The Lord Jesus Christ is far greater than Melchizedek was, is, and is to come.

Response One: Why the War in Heaven Never Challenged God.

The challenge asks, “If God is All-Powerful and All-Knowing, how did Satan manage to wage war in Heaven and take one-third of God’s angels with him?” The answer begins by correcting two assumptions: Satan did not take one-third of God’s angels, and Satan did not wage war against God.

One. Revelation 12 describes the Dragon casting one-third of the stars to the ground. It calls them stars in that action, not one-third of God’s angels. Being cast down by the Dragon does not prove that those stars belonged to Satan or that he took them as his own. Therefore, the passage does not establish the popular claim that Satan carried away one-third of all God’s angels.

Two. Satan had the angels God assigned to him from the beginning as a prince and commanding officer over a division. Their loyalty followed ranking, hierarchy, and the authority of their commander. They were not stolen from an undefended God; they were the command associated with Satan’s appointed position.

Three. Satan also acquired other followers. These include unclean spirits or demons connected with the Nephilim—the offspring of fallen angels who slept with women. He also obtains the souls and service of people who enter pacts with him, act as his agents, sell their souls to the Devil, or live as sinners in agreement with the evil one’s ways and deceptions. None of these categories proves that Satan took one-third of God’s angels.

Four. War in heaven does not bring God’s All-Powerful and All-Knowing realities into question. Satan and demons themselves know that God is one, all-knowing, and all-powerful, and they tremble before Him. James 2:19 says, “You believe that there is one God; you do well: the devils also believe, and tremble.” Their activity is never based upon the belief that they can overpower God.

Five. Because Satan and demons know God’s supremacy, they normally beg Him not to intervene, interfere, or become directly involved. Satan sought permission for God to loosen His involvement around Job so that Job could be tempted. Demons cried out before Jesus Christ because they thought He had come to torment them before their appointed time. Their requests reveal creatures conscious of divine limits and terrified of direct divine intervention.

Six. Nowhere does Satan wage war against God Himself. The Antichrist will openly oppose God, blaspheme all that is called God, sit as God in His temple, and at the Armageddon war challenge God in physical conflict. The Antichrist may act without knowing the full reality of God’s knowledge and power, but Satan and demons already know and tremble.

Seven. Satan and demons oppose angels and human beings. When they hear the Lord’s rebuke or the name of the Lord, they fear and may flee when they possess no strong case or legal basis to continue pursuing the matter. They fear God while hating God, so they direct their warfare against God’s people, God’s angels, and what serves God.

Eight. Job 41:10–11 declares: “No one is so fierce as to rouse Leviathan. Then who is able to stand against Me? Who has given to Me that I should repay him? Everything under heaven is Mine.” If no creature can safely rouse Leviathan, no creature can stand against the One to whom everything under heaven belongs.

Nine. Satan waged war in heaven against stars and angels, particularly against Michael. Michael is neither all-powerful nor all-knowing. The contest therefore did not test whether Satan could overpower God. It tested Satan’s might against the delegated might and command of Michael.

Ten. God allowed a contest between Satan and Michael in heaven just as He allowed a contest between Satan and Job upon earth. The duel was not primarily a duel of morality or righteousness. It was a contest of might and strength: Satan as Dragon against Michael, God’s Prime Minister standing for God’s people and saints.

Eleven. Heaven was the venue so the conflict would not destroy things upon earth or in hell. Yet it was not the Third Heaven or the Heaven of God’s throne, because that would give Michael a greater advantage. The appointed venue was the Second Heaven, the region where the stars and constellations dwell. Satan would come up with his team, and Michael would come down with his team.

Twelve. The stakes were substantial. If Satan won, he would take possession of the male child who is to rule all, retain the kingdoms of this world, retain his place in heaven, and prolong his time by even a millennium before his destruction.

Thirteen. If Satan lost to Michael without God directly entering the duel, and without other archangels, cherubs, or angels outside Michael’s command becoming involved, Satan would concede defeat. God would truly have given him his chance to alter his fate, prolong his reign, lengthen his time, and preserve his place in heaven—but he would have failed.

Fourteen. God knew that Job would not fall to Satan, and the same God knew that Michael would not lose to Satan. Therefore, God approved the duel. Allowing a contest whose outcome He already knows does not diminish omniscience. Governing every participant, limit, venue, stake, and outcome demonstrates divine power.

Fifteen. God is indeed All-Knowing and All-Powerful. He does not rely upon His All-Knowing reality alone because He is also All-Powerful. Even if He plays by what He already knows and mistakes happen, His All-Powerful aspect will redeem, repair, or fix all things. His power is not threatened by the freedom He permits within boundaries He governs.

Sixteen. God’s All-Knowingness does not make Him insecure, suspicious, untrusting, or eager to kill every potential threat because of what that enemy may do in the future. Though He knows every plot and every possibility within His haters, He still enables even His haters with life, strength, power, wealth, opportunity, and time to do their things. Their continued ability exists beneath the sovereignty of the God they hate.

Seventeen. Therefore, the war in heaven does not reveal a confused, surprised, weak, or uninformed God. It reveals a God secure enough to permit a bounded contest, powerful enough to govern it, knowledgeable enough to know its outcome, and supreme enough to redeem or fix all things. Satan did not fight God; Satan fought Michael and the angels under Michael’s command—and Satan lost.

Are you not going to clap and bow down to this God?

Pray: “Lord, I know that You can do all things and that no plan of Yours can be thwarted. You asked, ‘Who is this who conceals My counsel without knowledge?’ Surely I spoke of things I did not understand, things too wonderful for me to know.” Job 42:2–3.

Response One: Not Human Sacrifice, but Offering, God-Sacrifice, and Human Cost. The challenge says, “God stopped Abraham from using his son as a human sacrifice. Years later, God used His own Son as a human sacrifice. Which God does that?” The answer begins by correcting the category: not human sacrifice, but offering and God-Sacrifice.

One. Abraham truly offered up Isaac, but God stopped Abraham from human sacrificing Isaac. Isaac was bound and surrendered, yet Isaac was not killed, prepared, or consumed upon the altar. Instead, God provided Himself a sacrificial Lamb as a ram. The event therefore reveals both Abraham’s offering and God’s provision. Abraham gave up his claim upon his only begotten son; God refused Isaac as a human sacrifice and supplied what the altar required. Genesis 22:1–14.

Two. The Lord Jesus Christ cannot be reduced to only one dimension. He is the Lamb of God, the Son of God, the Son of Man, and the Bread of Life. These multidimensional aspects answer the mystery. If anyone ate the flesh or drank the blood of another ordinary human or animal in this manner, it would be cannibalism or the abomination of feeding upon blood. But Christ identifies His Flesh as Bread indeed and His Blood as Drink, presented to His sanctified and holy people in Holy Communion. John 1:29; John 6:53–56.

Three. The sacrificial principle is this: whatever is acceptable for sacrifice to God must also be edible by God and by men when sacrificed. In the Old Testament, clean animals were acceptable because clean animals were edible to the sanctified people. Even when the whole offering was burned, the offering belonged to an edible category. The fire upon the altar prepared what ascended to God as a sweet-smelling savour.

Four. Tithes in those days were also edible food. They were not substances that could not be eaten literally. Grain, wine, oil, herd, and flock belonged to the consecrated provision. Unclean animals were not acceptable upon the altar because they were not edible to the sanctified and holy people. The distinction of the table and the distinction of the altar agreed.

Five. Humans were not edible to the sanctified and holy people. Therefore humans could not be used as sacrificial food. Sacrifice, as far as God was concerned, was fundamentally the cooking or preparation of food and meat upon special tables called altars. An altar was not permission to destroy anything one wished; it was a holy table governed by what God declared clean, edible, and acceptable.

Six. This is why Isaac did not meet the criteria for sacrificial consumption, while the Lord Jesus Christ fulfilled the mystery in dimensions Isaac did not possess. Jesus was not merely human. He was also the Lamb God Himself provided upon the mount. His Flesh was Bread indeed, and His Blood was Wine. Both were given as Holy Communion to the sanctified and holy people, while His self-offering ascended as a sweet-smelling fragrance to God.

Seven. Ephesians 5:2 declares: “Walk in love, even as Christ also loved you, and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling fragrance.” Scripture does not describe the Father as using an unwilling man for human sacrifice. Christ loved us and gave Himself up. He was both the willing Offering and the acceptable Sacrifice.

Eight. Therefore, do not call His offering of Himself “human sacrifice.” Call it the greatest Sacrifice: the Sacrificial Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. The Lamb of God is not an animal identity and must never be reduced to an animal image. The title reveals His God-provided sacrificial office. He is the divine Son in the special Body prepared for His obedience and self-offering.

Nine. Lack of understanding robs you. It can make a person blasphemous, judging God as confused while becoming wiser than God in his own foolish eyes. The error begins when unlike things are forced into one category: Isaac and Christ, unwilling human slaughter and willing divine self-offering, human sacrifice and God-Sacrifice.

Ten. God did not use His Son for human sacrifice. God gave His only begotten Son as a Gift to the world, so that the world might be saved or restored by the Son. Giving is not the same as seizing. The Father gave; the Son came; the Son loved; and the Son gave Himself. John 3:16 and Ephesians 5:2 join divine gift with willing self-offering.

Eleven. Before the Son was born to accomplish this will, God prepared a special Body for Him, different from the bodies of humans or animals, with the sacrificing goal in mind. Hebrews 10:5–7 says: “Therefore, when Christ came into the world, He said: ‘Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but a body You prepared for Me. In burnt offerings and sin offerings You took no delight. Then I said, Here I am, it is written about Me in the scroll: I have come to do Your will, O God.’” The prepared Body and the declared will belong together.

Twelve. God does not accept human sacrifice, but God accepts human cost. Human sacrifice destroys a person as altar food. Human cost gives up a valued relationship, claim, advantage, or possession in order to gain the person or purpose counted more valuable. The language may involve sacrificing one value for another, but that cost must not be confused with offering a human body as sacrificial meat.

Thirteen. First example: it cost Abraham giving up his own begotten son Isaac to attain friendship with God. James 2:21–23 explains that Abraham’s faith worked with his actions, and he was called the friend of God. Isaac lived, yet Abraham had truly surrendered his possessive claim.

Fourteen. Second example: it costs a true disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ the giving up of father, mother, wife, children, properties, and even his own life, to attain being a disciple of Christ indeed. Luke 14:25–33 presents discipleship as a cost that must be counted. Christ must be valued above every competing claim.

Fifteen. Third example: God gave up Egypt, Ethiopia, Serbia, or parts of Africa, and was willing to give up more people for gaining Israel. Isaiah 43:3–4 presents persons given for a people whom God calls precious, honoured, and loved. The exchange concerns the value of persons, not the pricing of persons as merchandise.

Sixteen. Fourth example: the Lord Jesus Christ gave up Himself both as Offering and as Sacrifice to God for us and for His Bride. This is love’s cost in Ephesians 5:2. He was not taken as helpless human altar meat. He loved, came, received the prepared Body, and gave Himself according to the will of God.

Seventeen. These examples are not exhaustive. Their shared principle is that persons are exchanged, or sacrificed, for persons—not persons exchanged for money or things. The purpose is not the destruction of persons. It is the valuing, loving, and appreciating of a person or people enough to relinquish other valued persons, claims, or relationships in order to gain those counted more valuable.

Eighteen. Consider the simple analogy of a man who cannot have and love two women simultaneously but must choose between them. To gain one covenant relationship, he must give up the other. The one relinquished is not killed or placed upon an altar; the competing relationship is surrendered because one person has been chosen above the other.

Nineteen. Keep the distinctions clear. Abraham offered Isaac, but God stopped Isaac’s human sacrifice and provided the ram. God gave the Son as His Gift. The Son received the prepared Body, came to do God’s will, gave Himself as Offering and Sacrifice, became Holy Communion to His people, and ascended to God as a sweet-smelling fragrance. That is not a confused God. That is offering, God-Sacrifice, and holy human cost revealed in their proper order.

Episode Three: When Separation Established the First Day. Creation advances not only by bringing things forth, but by measuring, sanctifying, separating, naming, and appointing them. One. Proverbs 8:27 reveals God setting a compass upon the face of the depth. The deep is not left without measure. A compass establishes boundary, direction, proportion, and ordered relation. What God intends to govern, He first brings under His appointed measure. Two. God looks upon the Light and everything pertaining to it. He does not call it good without seeing it; He examines the Light within the order being formed and declares, “This Light which I have seen, I see that it is good.” Divine approval rests upon what agrees with divine order. Three. God then sanctifies the Light. Sanctification sets it apart for an assigned purpose. The Light is not merely permitted to shine; it is consecrated and appointed as the Date to all creation. What is made visible must also receive its place, function, and time within God’s order. Four. God separates the Light from the Darkness. Separation is not presented as disorder, rivalry, or confusion. It establishes distinction so that each can fulfil its appointed office. Light is not Darkness, and Darkness is not Light. Their boundary preserves identity and makes ordered movement possible. Five. The command identifies each realm: “You, Light, you should be the Day. You, Darkness, you should be the Night.” God’s naming is joined to assignment. Day and Night are not self-appointed identities; each becomes what the divine Word appoints it to be. Six. Evening and Morning are then gathered into the First Day. The first measured cycle of creation is completed through ordered distinction: Light and Darkness, Day and Night, Evening and Morning. Seven. Do not resist every separation as though distinction were loss. Some separations are how God establishes identity, timing, responsibility, and peace. Submit to His compass, receive His sanctification, remain within your appointed boundary, and fulfil the name and purpose His Word gives you.

“Now I will be restless because I am the Creator and I must be creating all things, until all things are completely created will I not rest.

I am creating all things for I conceived the thought of placing foundations, and of creating visible creation upon those foundations.”

“Let visible things come from the invisible.”

“Break open, Adol, and let the visible come out of you.”

“A great Light has come out. I Am in the center of this great light. And just like light is born from light, a great and new age is now born. The full pictures of all things that be not are now before Me as though they were — All things by this Light appear in the picture and prophecy of its potential existence, waiting for My Word to bring them forth into their righteous beings and ordered forms. I see the end from the beginning. This Light which I have seen, I see that it is good.”

“I will now prepare My Throne and sit on It: For this First Righteousness and Judgment of My Sight should be the Foundation of My Throne to all that must be.

And this great Light of Visibility and Manifestation must be the Foundation to the highest things established as the ceiling boundary to things of visibility below it. Above this Light, nothing is visible, but under this Light and as far as its reach, all things shall be visible.”

“I AM THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA, THE FIRST AND THE LAST, THE ALMIGHTY.” Revelation 1:8.

“You, Light — go higher. Establish yourself as ceiling above My throne, and become the foundation for the highest realms.”

Episode One: Reject Every Gain That Costs Christ. The argument about grace begins with a question: does grace remove law, or reveal another form of law?

One. A brother said, “The law was for the Jews, not for us in Christ; we live by grace.”

I answered that living by Grace is also living by the Law of Truth. Grace is a form of Law. Both Grace and Law are for the Jews, and without Law there is no Grace.

Two. He objected that grace, truth, and law are different and warned against confusing people. I answered that their interconnectedness would be shown.

Three. I once learned from a pastor—and even used—the acronym G.R.A.C.E. as

“God’s Riches At Christ’s Expense.”

I now unlearn and renounce that definition.

Four. That definition, together with other distorted views of grace,

has helped produce lukewarm and worldly Christians

by presenting benefit as though Christ must lose for the believer to gain.

Five. I renounce every grace described as God’s riches at Christ’s expense.

I also reject every blessing, riches, prosperity, gospel, gain, or success obtained at Christ’s expense.

Six. You should reject anything you gain at the expense of Christ.

The direction of discipleship must be reversed:

do not gain things by spending Christ;

gain Christ even when riches and other things must be spent.

Seven. Grace must never be used as language for benefiting from Christ’s loss.

Its relationship to truth and law must be rebuilt

upon what Christ fulfils, supplies,

and gains.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WcV6Hy-zEoQ?si=ZwpYHdlS94PxJoX9

Episode Two: Requirement, Insufficiency, and Help. Without a law or standard there can be no grace.

One. Every grace exists because a law or standard has warranted that grace.

Grace helps someone who has fallen below a requirement,

enabling and empowering that person to meet or attain the required standard.

Two. For grace to exist, there must be a requirement, an insufficiency, and an intervention that supplies what is lacking.

Three. The Law is the requirement.

Sin is the insufficiency.

Grace is the help or intervention. Both sin and grace exist because Law exists. Without law there can be neither sin nor grace.

Four. The Law came so that sin would multiply and become obvious;

but where sin multiplied through the Law, Grace also multiplied much more through the Law.

Romans 5:20–21 says that as sin ruled and brought death,

grace now rules by making us right with God and bringing eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Five. John 1:17 says that the Law was given through Moses,

while Grace and Truth came through Jesus Christ.

This distinction does not make them enemies.

Six. Jesus Christ, the embodiment of Grace and Truth, was made under the Law in order to fulfil the Law and the Prophets.

Seven. The greatest manifestation of Grace and Truth did not come to destroy the Law and the Prophets,

but to fulfil them.

Grace and Truth fulfilled the Law because the Lord Jesus Christ fulfilled the Law.

Eight. Living by Grace therefore does not mean living without a standard. It means receiving divine help to meet what truth requires through the One who fulfilled it.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmVfiF0bbdg?si=PApJ_uNzYW6yZGc9

Episode Three: At Christ’s Endowments, Not His Expense. Living by Grace is living by the Law of Truth because Grace itself is a form of Law.

One. “God’s Riches At Christ’s Expense” is a false gospel.

Your grace did not come from Christ losing something so that you could gain—unless you are a devil or demon.

Devils gain where Christ loses; demons profit at Christ’s expense.

Two. Someone argued that salvation and grace came because Christ died and sacrificed His life.

I answered that you were not saved merely because Christ died or lost His life;

you are saved because Christ rose from the dead and gained His life again.

Three. You were not saved at Christ’s Expense, but at Christ’s Endowments.

Even the death of Jesus should not be viewed as His loss.

From the moment He died, He was gaining and collecting more than we presently understand, even in death and in the grave before resurrection.

Four. Scripture says, “To live is Christ,

and to die is gain”—not loss or expense.

Five. Therefore redefine G.R.A.C.E.

as “God’s Riches At Christ’s Endowments.” What we receive flows

from what belongs to the risen Christ,

not from a Christ left diminished.

Six. Move from the immature language, “He was rich but became poor so that we might become rich through His poverty,”

into the mature confidence, “He will supply all our needs according to His riches in glory.”

Seven. Move away from riches interpreted through His expense and into riches received from His Endowments.

Grace builds Christ’s increase; it never requires Christ to remain the loser.

Episode Four: Grace Demands a Harvest. The Law of Grace is not limited to the Law of Faith in Romans 3:27 or the Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus in Romans 8:2.

One. Grace as a form of Law operates through sowing

and reaping—more precisely, through the Law of Reaping.

Two. Grace is a requirement placed upon the person who receives it.

It demands a harvest from the field where it was sown.

Three. Luke 12:48 declares that to whom much is given, much is required;

and from the person entrusted with much, even more will be asked.

Four. In Matthew 25:26–27, the lord calls the servant wicked and lazy

because he knew his master reaped where he had not sown and gathered where he had not scattered.

That knowledge made the servant duty-bound to place the talent with money exchangers

so the master could receive his own with interest.

Five. Galatians 6:7–8 warns that God is not mocked: whatever a person sows, that person reaps.

Sowing to the flesh reaps corruption;

sowing to the Spirit reaps eternal life.

Six. These passages reveal Grace as gifts given and investments or seeds sown

in expectation of harvest and return.

Seven. Treat the Grace of God toward you as an investment or loan

that you are bound to service.

Yield returns and profit to the One who supplied it.

Eight. Every Grace must build Christ’s Endowments rather than Christ’s Expense. Christ must not lose through His Grace to you; He must reap, profit, and gain through it.

Episode Five: The Grace That Saves Also Teaches. Grace is not only help received;

Grace arrives with instructions and commandments.

One. When the Grace of God appeared to all people, it brought two inseparable realities: salvation and teaching.

Many recognise the salvation of Grace

while refusing to see the instruction of Grace.

Two. Titus 2:11–13 says God’s Grace has been revealed, bringing salvation to everyone.

The same Grace teaches us to reject a godless way of life

and the desires of this world.

Three. Grace instructs us to live thoughtful, self-controlled lives

that are right before God in the present world.

Four. Grace also teaches us to look toward the wonderful hope

of the glorious appearing of our great God and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

Five. A grace that only excuses but never teaches is not the full Grace described in Titus. Saving Grace trains the person it saves.

Six. Grace must also be recognised as commandment and instruction.

Proverbs 1:8–9 tells a son to listen to his father’s instruction and not forsake his mother’s teaching.

Seven. Those instructions become a garland of Grace upon the head

and a pendant around the neck.

Grace therefore adorns the person through received and obeyed teaching.

Eight. The Law of Grace saves, teaches, restrains, directs, and expects fruit.

Receive its salvation, submit to its instruction, and wear its commandments as the visible beauty of a life brought under Truth.

Episode One: The Difference Between Fellowship and His Presence. A person can be inside a church gathering and still remain outside the practical reality of God’s Presence.

One. Not everyone who enters a church in His name has entered His Presence through true worship.

Location within a fellowship is not the same as participation in God.

Two. His Presence is not static.

God moves, and because we are His offspring, we must move in Him, live in Him, and have our being in Him.

Three. When fellowship programmes are restricted to talent displays,

entertainment, and the pursuit of human applause,

a service may become full of religious and human activity while showing little or no practical movement of the Holy Spirit.

Four. Some church entertainment reveals talent more clearly than it reveals the Spirit.

Talents deserve respect,

but talents operating in carnality do not manifest the Holy Spirit.

Five. First Corinthians 12:7 teaches that the manifestation of the Spirit is given

for the profit and edification of the Church.

The Church therefore needs more than the manifestation of ability; she needs the manifestation of the Spirit.

Six. Never allow talent shows

to replace God’s true manifestation in the gathering.

When applause becomes the measure and entertainment becomes the centre, a church can slowly become a theatre

emptied of the power, miracles, and practical evidence of God’s true Presence.

Honour every gift,

but require every gift to make room for the Giver.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Gdz33OwhdM?si=uspzY6pwWbj81li7

Episode Two: The Mark of Those Who Have Been With Jesus. Preparation may impress an audience, but only remaining with the Lord can leave the mark of His Presence.

One. Consider the hours spent rehearsing choir songs,

dramas,

choreography, specialised dancing,

special numbers, recitations,

and even sermons for the next fellowship meeting.

Two. If the time fellowship actors and actresses spend practising stage presentations

were invested in truly seeking the Lord

and remaining with Him,

the outcome would include unceasing manifestations of power,

miracles, wonders,

wisdom, depths, and revelations belonging to those who have been with the Lord.

Three. Talent does not heal the sick, raise the dead, or restore mankind.

“It is by My Spirit,” says the Lord.

Four. You may speak polished grammar through a microphone and sing with a sweet voice, yet remain unable to heal even a common headache. People may applaud your use of public-address systems during church hours while seeing only you and not God.

Five. They may testify that you practised and studied, yet remain unable to testify that you have been with Jesus, because no mark of God’s Presence follows you.

Six. When Peter and John spoke, their audience recognised that they were uneducated and unlearned, but also recognised that they had been with Jesus. The demonstrated glory and power supplied the evidence. Acts 4:13.

Seven. Moses had been with the Lord, and the evidence shone upon his face.

Eight. The prophets performed real miracles and wonders because they entered the Lord’s realm and remained with Him before speaking or acting publicly.

They did not pursue talent displays for applause; they revealed the Spirit and Word of God in power and wisdom.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ADVmN79QH4?si=--q8h5gIcRAFKgP-

Episode Three: Work With God, Not Merely for God. The work of God cannot be produced by human strength wearing religious clothing.

One. If you must always practise before speaking

or singing in fellowship,

it may indicate that human strength is replacing dependence on the Spirit of God.

Two. Depend more on the Holy Spirit than on your practices.

Preparation must remain a servant, never the source.

Three. God has not called us merely to do His works for Him;

He has called us to do His works with Him.

Four. Only the Spirit can give birth to that which is spirit.

Whatever is born only from practice and flesh

remains fleshly and carnal, even when placed on a church platform.

Five. Displaying your practice becomes unnecessary when proper room and attention are given to the Spirit of God.

Six. Jesus taught in Mark 13:11,

“Take no thought beforehand what you shall speak,

neither premeditate;

whatever is given you in that hour, speak, for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Ghost.”

Seven. Premeditating or pre-practising can mean that you are the one speaking rather than the Holy Spirit.

Eight. Yet the Holy Spirit still uses talents and practices

that are dedicated to Him through love and sacrifice, intended to glorify God through Jesus Christ

and to edify the Church in true love. Do not worship spontaneity or preparation; submit both to the Spirit.

Episode Four: Do Not Let the Gift Carry You Away. A gift from the Father must never become the vehicle that carries you away from the Father.

One. The Bible’s first use of the word “gift” appears

when Abraham gave gifts to the sons of his concubines

and sent them away from his son and from the inheritance. Genesis 25:6.

Two. A person may possess a gift and still be separated from sonship, nearness, and inheritance.

Never confuse what is placed in your hand with where you stand in the household.

Three. The prodigal son received his portion from his father,

but unlike Abraham’s other sons, he went away by himself without being sent or cast away.

When he came to himself,

he returned home to his father.

Four. Many have forsaken the Father’s Love and wandered far from home because of the very gifts the Father gave them.

Five. Every good and perfect gift comes from the Father above, with whom there is no variableness.

Nevertheless, gifts can blindside us and lead us far from God’s House when they replace relationship.

Six. Do not chase material things

at the expense of spiritual things and fellowship with God the Father.

Do not seek only the Father’s Hand; seek His Heart and His Face.

Seven. Matthew 23:19 asks, “Which is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifies the gift?”

The altar gives the gift its sanctified meaning.

Eight. Exodus 23:8 warns against a gift that blinds the wise and perverts the words of the righteous.

Hold every gift close to the altar, but hold your heart closer to the Father.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yL4YtdJnlDE?si=6oSXlav3u_YTMNXv

Episode Five: Stand at the Seat, Refuse the Table. Spiritual courage knows where to stand and where never to dine.

One. First Corinthians 10:21 declares, “You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of devils;

you cannot partake of the Lord’s Table and the table of devils.”

Two. A table becomes the Lord’s table or the devil’s table not because of the material used to construct it,

but because of who prepared it.

Whether golden,

wooden, or local,

its maker and spiritual source determine its identity.

Three. Scripture speaks of a church dwelling where Satan’s seat is,

but never of Christ’s Church dining at Satan’s table.

Four. Satan’s seat can still become a territory where the Church of Christ stands faithfully for the Lord.

Revelation 2:13.

Five. But the Church must never become a participant at Satan’s table,

lest she provoke the Lord to jealousy.

First Corinthians 10:21–22.

Six. We do not dine with the devil,

but we take our chances by standing in the territory of the devil’s seat for the glory of the Lord.

Presence in contested territory is not fellowship with its table.

Seven. Remember the first meal the devil persuaded the woman to eat: the forbidden fruit resulted in death.

Discern the preparer before approaching the table, and never trade the Lord’s cup for food whose source is the devil.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1HkQoIx3MQ?si=y7_KBLnQYS-axDeC

Episode One: When Open Eyes Become a Veil. An eye can open to a lesser discovery while closing against a greater revelation.

One. Genesis 3:7 records that Adam and the woman ate,

their eyes were opened,

they understood that they were naked, and they sewed fig leaves into coverings.

Two. At that stage mankind became like angels to a degree

in knowing good and evil.

The first evidence of that knowledge was their recognition of the state and shame of unclothedness.

Three. Their new knowledge awakened creativity: they joined leaves into coverings

because they could no longer expose their unclothedness within the Garden and Paradise where they lived.

Four. Observe the exchange. Their unclothedness had remained open while their eyes were unopened;

after integrating the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil,

their eyes switched open and their unclothedness switched covered. One aspect of mankind opened to close another.

Five. Yet the forbidden fruit opened their eyes only to unclothedness.

It did not open their eyes to the reality that they were also dust.

Six. God would later make them realise that, just as surely as they were naked, they were dust

and would return to dust through death.

Seven. Their eyes recognised fig leaves as an emergency answer to bodily shame,

but failed to recognise the Tree of Life as the emergency answer to their dying condition and mortality.

Eight. Partial sight can become dangerous when it solves an immediate embarrassment while concealing the greater crisis.

Do not mistake the ability to cover shame for the ability to overcome death.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEMX0k0ly5A?si=VSKGA4Tq57TGkbyA

Episode Two: Fig Leaves Cannot Cure Mortality. A discovery is not complete merely because it produces an immediate solution.

One. The forbidden tree gave knowledge of good and evil, but it did not give knowledge of life and death.

Two. Its fruit opened human eyes to call unclothedness evil

and the sewing of fig leaves good,

yet those eyes did not discern the death already approaching.

Three. They did not recognise that eating from the Tree of Life

could make them live forever against the coming death. Their insight found a covering but missed life itself.

Four. The opening produced by the forbidden tree was therefore partial, not perfect.

Five. More seriously, that opening became a disguised veiling of the eyes against better revelations.

A lesser civilisation,

exposition, discovery, or achievement

can distract the soul from the greater light it still lacks.

Six. Revelation 3:17–18 exposes the same deception.

A person may say, “I am rich, I have made myself wealthy, and I need nothing,”

while remaining unaware of being miserable, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked.

Seven. Jesus Christ counsels such a person to receive from Him

gold refined by fire for true riches,

white clothes that conceal the shame of unclothedness,

and eye salve that makes the eyes see.

Eight. Perfect sight does more than discover unclothedness. It recognises dust, mortality, blindness, and poverty, then turns to Christ for tested riches, true covering, restored vision, and life.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOsjKznbt2k?si=TEV3k7F5a3eT-cEJ

Episode Three: The Mind Ate Before the Mouth. The woman’s greatest sin against God and mankind began inwardly before her hand moved outwardly.

One. Genesis 3:6 says she saw that the tree was good for food,

pleasant to the eyes,

and desirable for gaining wisdom.

She took its fruit, ate, and gave some to her husband with her, and he ate.

Two. What she saw in the forbidden tree appeared to endorse and confirm what the serpent had told her.

The serpent mixed truths about the tree

with lies about God and the Word of God.

Three. Satan’s lie is often not merely in what he says about a thing,

but in the impression he forms within you about God and the reality of God’s Words.

Four. The infallible Word of God exposes Satan as a liar,

because God can never be a liar in His own Words.

When I declare that the devil is a liar, I judge by God’s revelation and His infallible Words, not merely by outward things.

Five. The woman’s mind began eating before her mouth ate and before her man ate.

Her mindset consumed the three lusts of the forbidden tree before her hand delivered the fruit.

Six. The lust of the flesh saw appetising food.

Seven. The lust of the eyes embraced beauty and visual pleasure.

Eight. The pride of life desired wisdom that would puff up knowledge and increase self-glory.

Guard the mind, because inward agreement feeds the hand,

the mouth, and eventually other people.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrIFRbT3Mck?si=vtP3dvtCc2fwB0SF

Episode Four: From the Forehead to the Right Hand. What the mind receives without resistance soon becomes easier for the body to carry and spread.

One. The woman had already begun eating

through the feeding she received from the serpent

without resisting it.

Two. She judged the forbidden tree

but failed to judge the serpent’s spirit, motive, heart, and influence over her.

Test every spirit against the Antichrist

before you taste every fruit.

Three. When the Lord said, “By their fruits you shall know them,”

He did not send you to taste or eat their fruits;

He commanded you to judge them by their fruits.

Four. Once the woman received the forbidden fruit in her mind and head,

receiving it in her right hand was no longer difficult.

Five. Her hand then carried it to her mouth

and to her husband,

taking the fruit where the branches of the tree itself could not reach.

Six. In the same pattern, when people receive the Beast or his mark, six hundred and sixty-six, in the mind or forehead,

receiving that mark in the right hand will no longer prove difficult.

Seven. Their hands will spread it to others who choose to remain on their side, just as the man remained on the woman’s side after she ate, rather than standing on the side of God’s Word.

Eight. First John 2:15–18 commands us not to love the world or its things. The lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, and pride of life are not from the Father. The world and its lust pass away, but whoever does God’s will abides forever. It is the last hour: the Antichrist is coming, and many antichrists have already come.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USQ9tgfDV4A?si=FVQOICNOyo_7TAIz

Episode Four: Holiness, Marriage, and a Brother’s Conscience. Bodily freedom must remain submitted to holiness and love.

One. Chapter seven counsels that if fleeing fornication requires marriage, do not delay marriage.

It is better to enter marriage than to fall into sexual relations with a man or woman who is not yet your spouse.

Two. Within marriage, husband and wife should abstain from sexual relations during fasting.

Yet if self-control fails, it is better to end the fast and return to lawful marital intimacy than to enter temptation.

Three. Marital union does not defile the body.

Nevertheless, bodily virginity preserves a form of holiness required for functions that only virgins, both male and female, can perform.

Four. A virgin who pleases God remains holy in both body and spirit.

That bodily condition cannot be said in the same way of a married couple, even when they please God,

or of unmarried people whose bodies have been sexually defiled and have lost virginity.

Five. Chapter eight adds conscience to bodily stewardship.

Although Jesus taught that what enters a person does not defile that person,

what you permit into your body may wound another believer’s conscience. Mark 7:14–22.

Six. Food sacrificed to idols may not defile your own body or conscience,

yet your eating can offend a brother in the faith.

Seven. When the way you handle your body wounds another believer’s conscience,

you sin against God by sinning against that brother.

Eight. Mature liberty does not ask only, “May I do this?”

It asks, “Will my action injure another member of the same Body?”

Let love govern what freedom permits.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkwhU1wj4ss?si=CIJVMGVY6euYeIgJ

Episode Five: Discipline the Body After Salvation. Yesterday’s deliverance does not excuse today’s indiscipline.

One. Chapter nine warns the preacher, the soul-winner, and the runner in the race

to keep the body under subjection.

Ministry to others never removes the need for personal bodily discipline.

Two. A person may be born again, saved, preaching, and winning souls for Christ,

yet become a castaway after preaching to others if the body is not kept under control.

There is no protection in the claim, “Once saved, eternally saved,” when discipline is abandoned.

Three. Chapter ten points back to Israel in the wilderness.

They were saved, baptised,

and made to eat the same spiritual food and drink the same spiritual drink.

Four. Yet God later turned against people He had redeemed and destroyed them

because of fornication, idolatry, murmuring, tempting Christ, and lusting after evil things.

Five. Therefore, whoever thinks he stands must take heed lest he fall,

regardless of the height already attained.

Six. Our temptations are common to human life in the flesh,

but God gives greater grace and a way of escape. Grace must be used, not presumed upon.

Seven. Flee idolatry, especially after partaking of the Holy Communion of Christ’s Body.

Do not eat at the Lord’s Table and then return to the table of devils,

provoking the Lord to jealousy and risking eternal consequences.

Eight. Watch what you eat and how you eat after receiving the Lord’s Table. Bodily discipline must preserve communion with God and avoid wounding other people.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeLwxZPT8VA?si=5HBrzn63vYT05nbZ

Episode Six: Headship, Communion, and One Body. Divine order distinguishes authority without permitting oppression.

One. Chapter eleven recognises a difference between the body of a man and the body of a woman,

particularly in how the head is conducted while ministering to God and people.

Two. The central bodily distinction in this chapter lies in the head

rather than in the remainder of the body.

In other aspects a woman may dress like a man,

but the head must express the appointed difference.

Three. The head of the woman is the man,

the head of the man is Christ,

and the head of Christ is God.

The woman is the glory of the man, while the man is the glory of God;

therefore man and woman do not share identical headship authority.

Four. After addressing how they share in the Head, the chapter shows how both share in Christ’s Body through Holy Communion.

At the Table all are equal and must partake equally of the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, proclaiming His death and His Second Coming.

Five. No one may use greed, covetousness, or fraud to deprive another brother or sister at Communion,

lest the Lord strike the robber.

Six. Chapter twelve declares one Spirit amid different gifts, one Lord amid different administrations and offices, and one God amid different operations and methods.

All remain one Body. Seven. Many members do not create many bodies.

Diversity must serve the unity of Christ’s Body. Eight. The strong and more honourable must not oppress the weak or less honoured.

God grants greater honour to delicate and weaker members, so positions and offices must never be misconstrued as permission to dominate.

Episode Three: Guard the Temple and Judge What Defiles It. Wisdom distinguishes forbidden judgment from necessary judgment.

One. Chapter four forbids judging the servants of God by fleshly preference;

chapter five commands judgment against servants of sin whose conduct defiles Christ’s Body.

Do not confuse the two.

Two. The Church must judge itself and remove those who persist in fornication, idolatry, and other deadly sins that pollute the fellowship.

Paul, though absent in body, was present in spirit and joined that church in judging the offender.

Three. A little leaven changes the whole lump.

Adding sweetness to unleavened bread corrupts what represents the Holy Communion;

likewise, tolerating deadly sin in a congregation defiles the whole assembly.

Remember how Achan’s sin affected all Israel.

Four. Chapter six therefore requires the Church to possess judges capable of settling matters among brethren

instead of carrying brother against brother before secular law courts.

Five. Then the teaching strikes the centre of the body: food is for the stomach and the stomach for food, but God will destroy both.

The body is not for fornication; it is for the Lord, and the Lord is for the body.

First Corinthians 6:13.

Six. Flee fornication. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but fornication is a sin against one’s own body.

Seven. Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit whom you received from God.

You are not your own; you were bought with a price.

Eight. Therefore glorify God in both body and spirit.

The body is not private property for appetite; it is a purchased sanctuary belonging to the Lord. First Corinthians 6:18–20.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USQ9tgfDV4A?si=p5Byh6nkuugeZwyJ

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MH9l_gq-5nE?si=byDeyDrqhPj2ZHbF

Episode Two: One Body Beyond Human Loyalties. Spiritual gifts do not protect a church that permits human loyalties to divide Christ’s Body.

One. Chapter three shows that worldly carnality can affect people who ought to be spiritual inside the Church.

A person may possess the Spirit of God and still behave carnally.

Two. Their carnality did not come from failing to receive the Spirit

or the wisdom connected with Christ’s Body.

It appeared when they divided the Body of Christ,

or attempted to divide it around men.

Three. Glorying in “men of God” is still glorying in men.

Pastors and spiritual leaders are members of Christ’s Body and temples of the Spirit;

they must never become factional centres that replace the Head.

Four. When believers organise themselves around preferred ministers,

division allows the wisdom of the world to enter the Church that is meant to function as Christ’s Body.

Five. Chapter four continues the correction: do not judge God’s servants after the flesh,

and do not judge anything before its appointed time.

Six. Each time people elevate one pastor or apostle above another, they presume to judge between God’s stewards.

Looking at faces and exercising human preference violates the order of the Body.

Seven. Only the Lord knows which servant is performing better.

He alone is qualified to announce the examination results on the final Day of Judgment.

Eight. You do not possess the right to decide which servant God must use to speak to you. God chooses His own messenger.

Receive His word without turning His stewards into rival personalities.

Episode One: The Cross Against the Boast of Flesh.

First Corinthians speaks about the body or the flesh through almost every chapter, making the body a continuous pathway into its message.

One. Chapter one begins with Christ crucified in the flesh

and with God expressing what appears to the world as weakness and foolishness.

Yet God’s weakness is stronger than men, and God’s foolishness is wiser than men.

Two. God deliberately chose what appears weak in the flesh

to confound the strength of the flesh.

The Cross removes every ground for human boasting,

so that no flesh may boast in God’s presence and every person may glory in Jesus Christ the Lord.

Three. Chapter two reveals that the wisdom operating through the Cross

and through the crucifixion of the Lord of Glory in the flesh

was hidden from the world and from the natural man.

Four. Carnality looks at the Cross

and sees bodily weakness,

defeat, and foolishness.

It cannot recognise the wisdom concealed inside what it despises.

Five. Spiritual people receive this hidden wisdom by the Holy Spirit.

The difference is not the outward sight of a crucified body,

but the Spirit-given capacity to recognise God’s power and counsel within it.

Six. Bring the body beneath the wisdom of the Cross. Refuse the pride of flesh,

reject the world’s measure of strength, and let all glory return to Jesus Christ.

Are You a Fish in His Baskets or Meat in His Pot? Matthew 13:47–51, FBV: “Once more, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a fishing net thrown into the sea that caught all kinds of fish. When it was full, it was dragged ashore.

The good fish were put into baskets while the bad ones were thrown away. That’s the way it will be when the end of the world comes. The angels will go out and separate the evil people from the good, and throw them into the blazing furnace where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth. Now do you understand everything?” “Yes,” they replied.

In this parable of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Fishnet was differentiated from the Baskets—Vessels or Pots. Not all fishes that entered the Fishnet were qualified to enter the Baskets. That is a way to describe the Life or Kingdom of God we are pressing to enter.

Many will find the Gospel of entering the Fishnet very simple and comfortable, but will find entering the Baskets hard and narrow.

Please, I beg you, stop using the teachings or Scriptures of Paul as any foundation or base for any spiritual doctrine. Paul’s teachings or writings are not meant to be the foundation for any of your Kingdom or spiritual decisions into eternity. Rather, the Words and Life of the Lord Jesus Christ Himself are the True Foundation.

Then you may use the teachings and epistles of Paul and the other Scripture writers for edification on the Foundation of the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. Be a disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ, not a disciple of Paul.

Some of the controversies that plague Christianity over the ages stem from those who are arguing or viewing the whole Gospel and Kingdom from Paul’s letters in the Bible.

Paul’s writings are Scriptures, or good, but they are easily abused. Incidentally, Paul viewed the abuse of the old commandments or old law, and somehow his own writings are also abused or used wrongly. Even Peter, citing abuse of Paul’s letters, said:

Second Peter 3:15–16, GWN: “Think of our Lord’s patience as an opportunity for us to be saved. This is what our dear brother Paul wrote to you about, using the wisdom God gave him. He talks about this subject in all his letters.

Some things in his letters are hard to understand. Ignorant people and people who aren’t sure of what they believe distort what Paul says in his letters the same way they distort the rest of the Scriptures. These people will be destroyed.

Dear friends, you already know these things. So be on your guard not to be carried away by the deception of people who have no principles. Then you won’t fall from your firm position.”

Read it again, and note where Peter said such people will be destroyed for not being sure of what they believe in distortion to Paul’s Scriptures.

Now back to the parable of the Fishnet and the Baskets, describing the Kingdom of Heaven. The Fishnet first spread a nice and easy Gospel that got all of them trooping into the Fishnet by Faith without reformation.

Then came the time of sorting or scanning, and faith was not used again to put them into the Baskets, but each one’s individual goodness, cleanness, and so on.

The rotten, unclean, or bad fishes were not selected into the Baskets or Pots, even though they were redeemed from the sea and were part of the Fishnet fishes drawn out of the sea.

The Lord Jesus Christ Himself explained that the end of the world will feature the Angels of God separating good or righteous People from evil or unrighteous People. This means the Angels of God will play a great role with the LORD in judging and separating between all of us.

Ezekiel 11:11, GWN: “The city will not be your cooking pot, and you will not be the meat in it. I will judge you at Israel’s borders.”

Ezekiel 11:11, LBP: “This city shall not be your caldron, neither shall you be the meat in the midst of it; but I will judge you in the border of Israel.”

The Caldron, the Cooking Pot, the Baskets, the Vessels, and the Barn: These are vessels in parables the LORD used in illustrating this truth to us. They refer to the Holy City, the Kingdom of God, or Eternal Life.

You are saved by faith without works, but you shall be judged by your works, not judged by your faith. The Lord is going to judge all of us by our works. Faith without Work is Dead in Judgment.

Briefing About Light of Fire. Let’s begin with this question and answer: When Joshua commanded the sun to stand still, what effect did it bring? Or did it add more hours in the world than what God had made?

It did not add more hours in the world, but added more light because the light had more opportunity to cover more distance per hour or day; and it meant there was a longer day but a shorter night.

As a result, light prevailed more over darkness that day, good prevailed more over evil that day,

the people of God prevailed more over their enemies that day, the heavens cast more hailstones on the opposition that day, and the army of God covered more ground in battle that day, according to Joshua 10.

Talking about “Light,” let me teach about “Fire.” The first six days of Genesis mentioned the creation God made, but there was no mention of “Fire” in any of those days.

In fact, all the time “Adam” was still mentioned in Genesis, “Fire” was not mentioned. Actually, the first time “fire” was mentioned in the Bible was when it fell from heaven like rain with brimstone upon Sodom and Gomorrah, Genesis 19:24.

And, like I once mentioned, that particular fire was also described as “Eternal Fire” in Jude 1:7, which I also explained was because it was powered by the brimstones—for eternal fire burns with brimstones. Therefore, the first fire that was mentioned in the Bible was an “Eternal Fire.”

But why was fire not mentioned in the first week of creation, especially in Genesis 1? To answer that: There was no need again to mention “Fire,” seeing “Light” is mentioned. Light and Fire are one, unless when it comes to destruction or consumption. So, because there was no destruction or consumption, the fire in creation was represented as “lights.”

I tell you, flaming fires rule both day and night as lights; for when God made the lights of the Sun and Stars, He made them flaming fires. They burn to give light and heat, but they are not consumed by their own fire.

In fact, energy is potentially inflammable or has the ability to burn: Energy is used through burning. The light of the Sun burns on hydrogen without oxygen by nuclear fusion that converts the hydrogen into helium,

but there are other fires that burn on other things that fuel or oil the fires. For example, the eternal fire burns on brimstone or sulfur.

Every “Lamp” is a light because the lamp carries fire. Every candle shines light when it carries fire. The disciples of Jesus Christ are the light of the world: a city set on high, which cannot be hidden; for men do not light a candle just to put it undercover by a bowl. Therefore, as disciples of Jesus Christ, the Light of the World, let your light so shine before men that they might see your good works and glorify your Father, who is resident in Heaven, Matthew 5:14–16.

But how can they be light if they are not burning with fire? How can the disciples give light when they cannot even spark a light of fire?

One of the reasons we needed to be baptized with the Holy Ghost and with Fire is so that we might become the Lights by the Holy Ghost. You do not always need to call down “Holy Ghost Fire” if you are a fire yourself, carrying the Word of Fire in your tongue.

When the Spirit came upon the Church on the day of Pentecost, they were all having a tongue of fire on them, being translated into a tongue of fire in utterance; and from then, they were no more hidden from the people because they became light to them as lamps.

One. The Lord said it, and I read it, saying, “I am sending forth My messengers who will be flames of fire, burning with zeal for My holiness and the holiness of My people.”

Two. The Lord said it, and I read it, saying, “I am imparting to My messengers the fire to see My bride cleansed, and I am also imparting to them the burden of Nehemiah to see the walls of salvation restored.

Only when My truth comes from the heart does it have the power to change men. Living waters must come from the innermost being—the heart. Just as you felt My truth cleansing you, I am making My messengers flames of fire who will speak truth, not just to give understanding, but with the power to change men’s hearts. The truth that I am sending will not just convict My people of their sin, but will cleanse them from their sin.”

Three. The Lord said it, and I read it, saying, “I will give My messengers the vision to see My purpose in all things. I will make My messengers flames of fire, such as I appeared at the burning bush to Moses.

My fire will rest upon them, but they will not be consumed by it. Then mankind will marvel at this great sight and turn aside to see it. I will speak from the midst of My messengers, calling My people to their destiny and to rise up as the deliverers that I have called them to be.”

When that fire appeared to Moses at the burning bush, the bush was not consumed by that fire. That was the first wonder that captured Moses and drew him nearer to God.

And when Moses “turned aside” to see this great sight—why the bush was not burnt—God saw Moses had “turned aside” to see and immediately God called Moses out of the midst of that burning bush, Exodus 3:1–5. To see the wonders of fire is to see the light.

You already know that the Word of God in the mouth of His great messengers is “fire,” ready to consume the wood or fire consumables, Jeremiah 5:14 and Jeremiah 23:29.

Jeremiah testified he could not refuse to speak the Word of God because the Word of God in his heart was burning as fire shut within his bones, which he could not bear but give out to shine as light, Jeremiah 20:9.

The Word of God is like fire, and the people saw the voice of God speaking out of fire to them, even when God was speaking in Heaven to them at Mount Sinai during the time He spelt out to them the Ten Commandments.

He spoke to them from Heaven, but they were hearing His voice on earth out of fire. Fire became the speaker or oracle of God’s voice, but no image was seen while the fire was talking with the voice of God, Deuteronomy 4:12; and the voice the fire was carrying as it spoke was the voice of the Great Teacher.

As it is written, “He made you hear His voice out of Heaven so that He might teach you. And He showed you His great fire upon earth. And you heard His words out of the midst of the fire,” Deuteronomy 4:36.

Where Light and Fire Are One. He said the “Light of the body is the Eye,” and when I saw His Eyes, I saw them burning like a flaming fire, as a Lamp of fire, making His Face shine brighter than the Sun, Daniel 10:6, Revelation 1:14, and Luke 11:34–36.

As it is written, “These things says the Son of God, who has Eyes like a flame of fire and Feet like polished bronze,” Revelation 2:18.

Do not allow the oil of your lamp to run out, lest your light be put out like the foolish virgins. For you need fire to see the LORD’s vision being enlightened in your eyes.

When the light of the wicked is quenched, the spark of his fire ceases to shine, Job 18:5–6.

When He led them through the wilderness, there was no need for the Moon to give them light in the night, seeing the Pillar of Fire became their light at night, and in the day the pillar of fire appeared like a pillar of Clouds, Psalms 78:14. As it is written, “He spread a cloud as a covering and fire to give light at night,” Psalms 105:39.

However, it is better for the fire to turn into the light upon you than for the light to turn into the fire upon you.

God is Eternal Light, and God is Consuming Fire.

It is better to have the God of Fire turned into Light upon you than to have the God of Light turned into fire upon you.

For when the God of Light turns into fire, He devours and consumes.

As it is written, “So the Light of Israel will become a fire, and its Holy One shall turn into a flame.

He will burn and consume its thorns and briers in one day.

Both the glory of his forest and his fruitful field, He will consume both soul and body.

It will be like a sick man wasting away,” Isaiah 10:17–18.

Wisdom Nuggets. Light, Fire, Fishnets, and Baskets. One. Joshua did not add hours to creation; prolonged light simply gave God’s people more ground on which to prevail.

Two. When light is given greater opportunity, darkness loses territory.

Three. Fire may be present in creation under the appearance and service of light.

Four. The Sun and stars teach a mystery: they burn, yet their burning becomes light and heat for others.

Five. A lamp cannot shine without carrying fire; light is the visible witness of an inward burning.

Six. Disciples become lights when the Holy Ghost kindles holy fire within them.

Seven. Truth spoken from the heart does more than inform the mind; it cleanses and changes the heart.

Eight. Holy fire rested upon the burning bush without consuming it, drawing Moses nearer to hear God.

Nine. When the Word burns within the messenger, silence becomes harder than speaking.

Ten. Seek the fire that becomes guiding light upon you, not the light that becomes consuming fire against you.

Eleven. Entering the Fishnet is not the same as being selected into the Baskets.

Thirteen. Build every spiritual conclusion upon the Words and Life of Jesus Christ, the True Foundation.

Fourteen. Apostolic letters edify upon Christ’s foundation; they must never be distorted into another foundation.

Fifteen. Difficult Scriptures demand humility and firmness, because uncertain people can twist what is good.

Sixteen. Being drawn from the sea gives a fish opportunity, but the basket reveals the outcome of the sorting.

Seventeen. Faith receives salvation, while judgment reveals the quality of each person’s works.

Eighteen. At the end, divine separation distinguishes the righteous from the unrighteous.

Nineteen. The basket, vessel, pot, caldron, barn, Holy City, and Kingdom all warn that final placement matters. Twenty. Carry the Word as fire, shine as light, remain founded on Christ, and live so that your works agree with the faith you confess.

Twenty-one. A net gathers, but a basket confirms; do not confuse initial inclusion with final placement. Twenty-two. Scripture is handled most safely when every interpretation remains rooted in Christ. Twenty-three. Inner fire should become outward light, and confessed faith should become visible fruit. Twenty-four. Greater light brings greater opportunity: use it to follow Christ, remain clean, and live ready for the Kingdom of God.

Wisdom Nuggets. Divine Sight, Religious People, and Faith in Christ. One. Never follow a guide whose own path is endless wandering; confused leadership multiplies confused journeys.

Two. Temptation often promises a new world but delivers an old vanity with a newer waste of life, time, and resources.

Three. Going to and fro is movement, but movement without divine direction is not progress.

Four. God was already humanity’s Eyes before the serpent promised opened eyes.

Five. The heart of temptation is not merely knowledge; it is the transfer of trust from God to self.

Six. Open eyes do not automatically produce wisdom. Sight without submission can deepen deception.

Seven. When people reject God’s definition of good and evil, they begin crowning their own judgment.

Eight. Error can rename self-rule as wisdom, civilization, freedom, or illumination without making it truth.

Nine. Being clever in your own sight is not the same as being wise before God.

Ten. Faith walks by God’s light when private sight insists on another road.

Eleven. Fear of the Lord turns knowledge into obedience and obedience into departure from evil.

Twelve. Turning away from evil brings healing where self-conceit brings wandering.

Thirteen. Do not spend more strength mastering other people’s errors than understanding the Faith you are called to live.

Fourteen. Understand people before reducing them to systems, labels, rituals, or institutions.

Fifteen. Knowledge of another religion should become a tool of grace, compassion, clarity, and Gospel service—not pride.

Sixteen. Questions about Jesus remain decisive: His identity, His cross, His resurrection, and His relationship to God distinguish competing faith claims.

Seventeen. Sacred books, traditions, successors, rituals, holy places, and institutions can organize communities, but they do not all answer the same question about Christ.

Eighteen. Religious practice can shape a routine, yet routine alone cannot reveal the righteousness of God.

Nineteen. Moses, the Torah, the Prophets, the covenants, and the promised Messiah must be understood in relation to God’s unfolding revelation.

Twenty. The Old Covenant wrote upon stone; the New Covenant writes upon the heart and mind through the Spirit of Christ.

Twenty-one. Christian faith is not humanity displaying its righteousness to God, but God revealing His righteousness to humanity through Jesus Christ.

Twenty-two. Christians are witnesses: God’s Wisdom, Power, Grace, Life, Truth, Spirit, Nature, Heaven, Throne, and Word are revealed through Christ.

Twenty-three. The Gospel is the Power of God for salvation because it reveals the righteousness of God from faith to faith.

Twenty-four. Reject wisdom in your own eyes, understand people with grace, behold God through Christ, and let the just live by faith.

Briefing About Religious People. Yeah, you really answered me; now I understand. Another thing: you used to discuss something about the similarities and differences between Christianity and Islam.

I learned that the Qur’an was narrated by one person who did not see or experience the history happening.

Again, they believe that Jesus did not die on the cross, and they also believe that Jesus is not the Son of God. These claims obviously make them antichrist.

Now I want to understand this religion called Judaism—the similarities and differences it has with Christianity. So far, I have received little information that they strictly teach and live by the laws of Moses. I want to understand more.

You do not have to understand whatever you do not intend to agree with. There is more you need to understand in Christianity first because you are called to agree with the Faith in the Truth.

However, diving into other religions for the purpose of converting the followers from darkness into the true Light of Christ is worthy.

You have to know their religion to know the nature and extent of deception or darkness holding them captive, so that you might be more useful in extending the grace and Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, to them.

Hence, I would rather have you understand Judaists than understand Judaism; and I would rather have you understand Muslims than understand Islam. Understand the people you are called to save, not their religion or practices.

Briefing About Muslims. Muslims believe in Allah through Muhammad, whom they regard as both the last and greatest prophet, sent by Allah to the world and not just to Israel. And, as you rightly said, “They believe that Jesus did not die on the cross, and they also believe that Jesus is not the Son of God.”

These claims obviously make them antichrist.

Although they were instructed in their Qur’an to believe in Jesus the Messiah and listen to the books in His Gospel because Allah would destroy on the Day of Judgment any disbeliever who refused to listen to what Jesus the Messiah says,

they were also instructed not to believe Jesus is the Son of God because, according to the Qur’an, Allah has no son, neither is Allah three, but just one. To Muslims, Jesus is neither the Son of God nor the Son of Man, but the son of Mary, a virgin; and they regard Jesus as one of the prophets or servants of Allah.

Muslims hold three books most sacred to their religious practice: Qur’an, Sunnah, and Hadith. Sunnah is a portion of Muslims’ law containing the practices of Muhammad as the standard for Islam, while Hadith is the teachings or doctrines of Muhammad.

However, Muslims are divided into two groups based on disagreement over the applications of Sunnah practices to Islam. One group of Muslims, called Sunnis, differs strongly from the other group, called Shia, in understanding the Sunnah and in acceptance of the first three caliphs; but the Shia insist on the fourth caliph.

Caliph means successor to Muhammad, as in the next leader who replaced Muhammad after his death. Sunni Muslims believe the first three caliphs in the Sunnah were the next general overseers of all Muslims after their last prophet, Muhammad, died; but, on the other hand, Shia Muslims believe in and follow the fourth caliph, called Ali. To Shia Muslims, after Muhammad, Ali is their Muslim leader.

Sunni Muslims hold allegiance to Saudi Arabia, wherein is their most holy or sacred ground called Mecca; but, on the other hand, Shia Muslims hold allegiance to Iran.

Muslims observe the Five Pillars of Islam in their religious and routine practices, including praying five times a day and ablution;

observing fasting during the month of Ramadan in anticipation or solidarity with the moon;

giving alms to the needy;

and going to Mecca at a certain period to circle and cast stones at Satan, which is represented there at Mecca with an image and black stones.

Lastly, Muslims build mosques to bear the images of both stars and moon as an idol raised higher with an extended dome above the main roof or main dome level. Islam is a religion of the night, and so the moon and stars of the night are their hallmarks.

They can become violent if they feel the moon is threatened.

They bow in prayers within their mosque, having the images of the moon and stars in an elevated position at the pinnacle of the mosques.

Moreover, there are three distinct mosques for Muslims according to the functions of those mosques. The lowest mosque is the one Muslims use every day as a prayer ground, about five times a day. The higher mosque, the Jumu’ah mosque, is used as a prayer ground on Fridays during their main prayer; they walk to the higher mosque close by to gather and pray there on Fridays during their main prayers. The highest mosque is not opened until the time of Sallah or a special Muslim festival—for example, the mosque in Mecca or Medina. Some Friday mosques could also be used as Sallah mosques for those who could not afford the cost of going to the highest mosque.

Briefing About Judaists. Judaists believe through Moses and regard Moses as the greatest prophet of God. They claim to be followers of Moses, whom they regard as the greatest man of God who ever lived. Their religion is based on the laws and writings of Moses, and therefore their most sacred or holy books include the Torah and the Old Testament Prophets’ books in the Scriptures, including Psalms.

Judaists do not believe in Jesus as their Messiah, neither do they believe in Him as the Son of God. They see Jesus as a mere mortal

and do not believe in the Virgin Birth of Jesus Christ.

However, Judaists still believe in and wait for the coming of their Messiah, called Christ, because, to them, their promised Messiah has not yet come.

Judaists still observe the Levitical rituals of killing animals as sacrifices for their sins; observing the feasts of Passover and Tabernacles; the New Moon festival; Sabbath-day observation; circumcision; rituals of washing; and ceremonial holiness.

Judaists hold the Ten Commandments on tablets of stone as the highest symbol of God’s covenant; for they are under the Old Covenant, in which God wrote on stones, not the New Covenant, in which God now writes on the heart and in the mind through the Spirit of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

Judaists hold allegiance to Jerusalem, in Israel, which they regard as their most holy ground.

Briefing on the Faith in Christians.

Christians are children of God through the only begotten Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was dead but is now alive forever and ever. Amen.

Christians are witnesses, witnessing the Righteousness of God through Jesus Christ, the Wisdom of God revealed through Jesus Christ, the Power of God revealed through Jesus Christ, the Grace of God revealed through Jesus Christ,

the Life of God revealed through Jesus Christ, the Truth and Knowledge of God revealed through Jesus Christ, the Mysteries of God revealed through Jesus Christ, the deep Things of God revealed through Jesus Christ, the Spirit of God revealed through Jesus Christ, the Image and Nature of God revealed through Jesus Christ,

the Heavens and Throne of God revealed through Jesus Christ, and the Word of God revealed in Jesus Christ.

In other religions, men try to show God humans’ righteousness; but, in the Faith of Christians, God Himself is the One showing His Righteousness to humans and revealing His Holiness to men through Jesus Christ.

Therefore, God wants to reveal and prove His Righteousness to us who believe.

As it is written, “For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ: for it is the Power of God to salvation to everyone who believes; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

For therein is the Righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, ‘The just shall live by faith,’” Romans 1:16–17.

WISE IN YOUR OWN EYES — THE WISDOM OF SATAN


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=heYfMYDs7iE?si=VXNWEQFilobI_0uV

Wise in Your Own Eyes—the Wisdom of Satan. Genesis 3:5.

New King James Version: “For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

Free Bible Version: “It’s because God knows that as soon as you eat it, you’ll see things differently,

and you’ll be like God, knowing both what is good and what is evil.”

See the vanities in the Devil’s temptations, for his temptations are like his meaningless journeys: going to and fro, and going up and down. Satan goes to and fro, up and down, because Satan follows Satan’s temptations.

That means anyone who follows Satan’s temptations would also be going to and fro, up and down, in vain and meaningless wanderings.

At the end of it all, there is nothing new such a person would say he or she had done that had not been done before, except for the useless wasting of more lives, time, and resources.

Why would you follow the temptations or counsel of the Devil, who obviously has not led himself and his demons well? Satan’s own heart and mind are parts of the curses plaguing Satan since iniquity was found in him.

According to the serpent, eating from the tree of knowledge of good and evil would open one’s eyes to be like God in knowing the good and evil that God already knows.

The serpent admits that God knows good and evil, but refused to accept what the God who knows good and evil calls evil or forbids for mankind created in God’s image, after God’s likeness.

God was already doing for the woman what the serpent was promising her as a reward from eating the forbidden tree. God was the Eyes for mankind to see through and to know the nature of everything,

but the Devil just wanted mankind to remove their dependence, reliance, or trust in God and depend on or trust themselves.

When the God who knew all things called that forbidden act evil or deadly, the serpent protested and deceived the woman into committing the act to have open eyes that know what is good and evil like God already knew.

If God’s open eyes that know good and evil tell mankind what is good and evil, the serpent would deceive the woman to reject what God revealed as good, evil, life, or death.

But if mankind’s open eyes would know good and evil and tell mankind what is good and evil, the serpent would accept that as being wisdom, civilization, freedom, and illumination for mankind.

This is called “being wise in your own eyes” or “being wise in your own conceit,”

and it is basically rejecting God’s Wisdom and God’s leadership in favour of man’s self-leadership that depends on man’s eyes or his ability to know good and evil.

We have seen where being wise in his own eyes led the serpent; and although he was more crafty than all the beasts of the ground, the serpent became cursed above all the beasts of the ground. Isaiah 5:21, Berean Standard Bible: “Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight.”

We must walk by faith in God, not by sight or wisdom in our own eyes.

“Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and turn away from evil. This will bring healing to your body and refreshment to your bones,” Proverbs 3:7–8.

BRIEFING ABOUT HEAVEN
COMPLETE TRANSCRIPT

Briefing About Heaven. Good afternoon, man of God. Love you, and Jesus loves you more. I always read your notes here on Facebook. Recently, you were discussing one topic about Heaven. I ask if you would tackle it alone, and as you do that, would you please try to answer these questions.

One. What is Heaven? Two. Is it a place, authority, or level? Three. Where is it?

Four. In the current Heaven, what kind of living is there—is it physical or spiritual?

Five. Jesus parted ways with His disciples in flesh, and He went to Heaven. After the resurrection of the dead and the final judgment, what kind of living will live in the New Heaven and New Earth: physical bodies or spiritual bodies? Six. Will the New Earth be physical or spiritual? Answering the first three questions together.

There is a difference between “What is Heaven?” and “Heaven is what?” Both are questions that have different answers.

A preacher once made this statement: “God is Love, and Love is God.” But I differ from that preacher because “God is Love” does not mean “Love is God.” I see a difference between “What is Heaven?” and “Heaven is what?”

One. “What is Heaven?” God is Heaven, the Spirit of God is Heaven, the Presence of God is Heaven, and the Word of God is Heaven.

If you are in God, you are in Heaven.

Two. “Heaven is what?” Heaven is the elevated abode of God and His throne, even the dwelling place on High. Heaven is a place on High, always on High above the Earth.

It is also the centre from where every part of the entire universe or creation is controlled and supplied. You can view Heaven as the capital or headquarters of the seat of powers, glories, and all things. The entire creation is governed from Heaven.

Three. Is Heaven a place, authority, or level? Heaven is all of the above and even more. Heaven is a real place, having stones, trees, wind blowing, built houses, waters, lights, precious things far indescribable at the level of natural human minds, and unspeakable glories and wonders yet unknown to this planet or level of living on this Earth.

The things of Heaven are supernatural and far transcendental to what even the greatest mind on Earth can fathom. What a second is to those in Heaven is more than what days or even years are to a natural human. What a heavenly being can achieve in one second, a natural human may not attain in days or years. Take, for instance, the traveling speed of light, which covers millions of miles in one second. Scientists regard the speed of light as the highest speed seen by natural humans.

So, Heaven is a real place on High, not just a space or void. The evidence that Heaven is a real place includes the place where the sun and stars dwell, which is in Heaven, Genesis 1:14–18.

They are hosts of Heaven, Deuteronomy 4:19, because they dwell in Heaven.

Apart from being a real place on High, Heaven is also authority, as earlier stated: Heaven is the headquarters of the entire creation or universe. All authority is ruled by Heaven. Heaven is the Throne of God.

Apart from being a real place and authority, Heaven is also a level to the High, the Ascended, the Above, and so on. As it is written, “The heaven for height, and the earth for depth, and the heart of kings is unsearchable,” Proverbs 25:3.

Four. “Where is Heaven?” Heaven is above. Heaven is on High, up there over you, far into the height, where Heaven serves as God’s sanctuary, Psalms 102:19.

God built His storey building in Heaven, like a building with staircases or skyscrapers beyond the skies.

As it is written, “It is He that builds His stories in the heaven, and has founded His troop in the earth;

He that calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out on the face of the earth: Jehovah is His name,” Amos 9:6. Answering the last three questions together.

The answer to each of the last three questions is “Both”—spiritual and physical.

That something is spiritual does not prevent it from being physical. I think we sometimes confuse “physical” with “natural.” In my teaching, “physical” simply means visible or tangible. It does not mean everything that is physical is natural.

There are physical things that are spiritual, and there are physical things that are natural. Both Adam and Jesus were physical men when they walked this Earth because they could be touched and seen with the sight. However, although Adam was physical, he was a natural man because he was a product of the material of the Earth.

But, on the other hand, although Jesus was physical, He was a Spiritual Man because He was not of the earthen material but from Heaven.

First Corinthians 15:44–49: “It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.

And so it is written, ‘The first man Adam was made a living soul;’ the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. However, that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.

The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from Heaven. As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.

And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.”

Now, the opposite of what is spiritual is what is either natural or carnal or sensual. It is the natural man who does not receive the things of the Spirit, not the physical man, First Corinthians 2:14.

I myself receive the things of the Spirit because, although I am physical, I am spiritual and not natural in spirit. I became spiritual when I was born of the Spirit of God, but I still have a natural body.

Hence, I am a spiritual man living in a natural body, waiting for when the Lord will come to change my natural body into a spiritual body called immortality or a glorified body. But until then, the Spirit of the Lord is inside this natural body, making me spiritual in heart and mind.

The sun and stars are physical because you can see them with sight, but they are not natural because they do not belong to this Earth, but to Heaven. The bodies of the sun and stars were not made from material of the Earth the way humans’ natural bodies were made of the dust of the Earth. Rather, on the contrary, the bodies of the sun and stars are celestial bodies because they were made from heavenly materials. Hence, even though they are physical, they are not natural, but supernatural.

Physical means visible or manifest. The Bible is physical, but it is also spiritual.

Those who dwell in Heaven are spiritual, but they appear to people physically or sometimes take up a physical form to manifest in a physical dimension. That does not mean they are no longer spiritual; rather, it means they moved from the invisible dimension to manifest in the visible dimension.

As the ages draw to an end, all things that were invisible shall become visible. This means all things shall come open into the physical so that all eyes shall behold what was once hidden or invisible to them.

There is nothing hidden that shall not be brought into the open.

But until then, we are not looking at the things that are seen now, but at the things that are not seen: for the things that are seen are temporary, but the things that are not seen are eternal, Second Corinthians 4:18.

Yet they shall not remain unseen in the ages to come. For even those things that are seen now were once things that were not seen before.

As it is written, “By faith we understand the worlds were created by the Word of God, in order that what is seen did not come into existence from what is visible,” Hebrews 11:3.

All things shall materialize, and the expectation of creation is waiting for its full manifestation.

All Things and the Things Above. Before, only the things that are revealed belonged to us, while the secret things belonged to God, according to Deuteronomy 29:29;

but now all things belong to us, whether they are secret or not, according to First Corinthians 3:21–22.

They do not have to be revealed to us before they belong to us. Rather, since all things belong to Christ, and we also belong to Christ as His Body’s members, it means all things that belong to Christ belong to us who belong to Christ.

And all things that belong to God belong to Christ because Christ belongs to God.

First Corinthians 3:21–23: “Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours;

whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours; and you are Christ’s; and Christ is God’s.”

However, we still need revelation of those secret things, not to make them belong to us, but to know them that belong to us who belong to Christ and to God.

The revelation and seeing of those secret things that God prepared for us and for Himself are so important for the ministry of the Spirit of God.

First Corinthians 2:9–12, A F V 2020: “But according as it is written, ‘The eye has not seen, nor the ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.’

But God has revealed them to us by His Spirit, for the Spirit searches all things—even the deep things of God.

For who among men understands the things of man except by the spirit of man which is in him? In the same way also, the things of God no one understands except by the Spirit of God.

Now we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit that is of God, so that we might know the things graciously given to us by God.”

The Things Above Things Under His Feet. Talking about revelations and seeing these things: we must learn how to look and how to see these things, improving or graduating from seeing lower things to seeing more excellent and ascended things with unveiled eyes.

One. We are not looking at the things that are seen now, but at the things that are not seen: for the things that are seen are temporary, but the things that are not seen are eternal, Second Corinthians 4:18.

Two. We see beyond things under the sun—under Heaven—to see things under His Feet;

for God puts all things under the Feet of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Three. We see beyond all things under His Feet to seek and see those things which are above, where Christ sits on the Right Hand of God, Colossians 3:1.

Therefore, we set our affection on things above, not on things on the Earth and not on things beneath. Things on Earth are under the sun, but things above are above things under His Feet.

Since all things are under His Feet, why should we keep looking under His Feet when we can look at His Face and at those things above?

Colossians 3:1–2: “If you then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sits on the Right Hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the Earth.”

WISDOM NUGGETS — ALL THINGS, THINGS ABOVE, AND HEAVEN

Wisdom Nuggets: All Things, Things Above, and Heaven. One. A thing does not begin to belong to you on the day you discover it; revelation may uncover an inheritance that was already yours.

Two. What belongs to Christ belongs to those who belong to Christ as members of His Body.

Three. Revelation does not manufacture divine gifts; it opens our eyes to what God has already graciously given.

Four. All things belong to God, Christ belongs to God, and believers belong to Christ; therefore, divine order explains spiritual inheritance.

Five. Do not glory in men when God has placed Paul, Apollos, Cephas, the world, life, death, the present, and the future inside a greater inheritance.

Six. The Spirit searches the deep things of God so that believers may know what natural eyes and ears cannot discover.

Seven. Visible things announce the temporary; invisible things call attention to the eternal. Eight. Spiritual vision must graduate: from things under the sun, to things under Christ’s feet, and then to things above.

Nine. Do not confuse what surrounds you with all that exists; the horizon of Earth is not the boundary of reality. Ten. Everything beneath Christ’s feet is subject to Him, but the believer’s affection is called higher than everything beneath.

Eleven. Why spend life staring beneath His feet when grace invites you to behold His Face and seek what is above? Twelve. The direction of your affection determines the elevation of your attention.

Thirteen. “What is Heaven?” and “Heaven is what?” are different questions; wisdom distinguishes identity from description. Fourteen. God, His Spirit, His Presence, and His Word are Heaven to those who abide in Him.

Fifteen. Heaven is not an empty void; it is the elevated abode, sanctuary, and throne of God.

Sixteen. Heaven is place, authority, and level: a dwelling, a seat of government, and an ascended order.

Seventeen. Earth may contain nations and capitals, but creation is governed from Heaven’s headquarters.

Eighteen. Never measure heavenly reality only by earthly distance, speed, time, material, or natural understanding.

Nineteen. Heaven is above; therefore, spiritual sight must learn to look higher than the visible sky.

Twenty. Spiritual and physical are not necessarily opposites; something can be spiritual and still become visible or tangible.

Twenty-one. Physical does not always mean natural. The natural is earthly in origin; the spiritual can become physically manifest.

Twenty-two. Adam carried the image of the earthy, while Jesus revealed the Man from Heaven; believers await the image of the heavenly.

Twenty-three. A person may be spiritual in heart while living in a natural body and waiting for immortality—the glorified spiritual body.

Twenty-four. What is invisible will not remain hidden forever. The seen came from the unseen, and creation waits for full manifestation.

THEIR METHODS OF FINDING FAULTS IN FAULTLESS MEN


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6J2V_Vjn3Uk?si=hcZFdJC6sxJnajIr

Perhaps we must now know these things about the “Accusers of Brethren,” particularly the Chief Accuser of Brethren, Satan himself:

1. Being found blameless, innocent, or faultless still does not stop the accusers who are hell-bent on accusing the brethren. So, even if a man is declared righteous, blameless, upright, faultless, pure, and so on, by God Himself, Satan would still not give up accusing the blameless, upright, faultless, pure man. An example was the case of Job: God Himself told Satan that Job was upright and feared God, and yet Satan still would not give up, on more occasions than one.

2. How do the Accusers still attempt to accuse a man who is already found blameless, upright, faultless, pure, and so on? There are basically two methods the Accusers may employ to persist at it:

2-A. The Accusers would either use the “False Accusation Method” to accuse a man they already know is blameless, upright, faultless, pure, and so on. Potiphar’s wife used this method to accuse Joseph. This method, “False Accusation,” has limits to which the Devil, who is both father of lies and Chief Accuser, can use false accusation. Satan cannot use false accusation in Heaven or in communicating with God and higher angels. Satan never dares to lie to God, even if Satan lies to himself or is the father of lies. So, because he cannot use false accusation before God, Satan would use the second method before God in trying to still accuse a man declared blameless, upright, faultless, pure, and so on.

However, Satan uses “False Accusations,” lies, or falsehood when he is in communication with men or in connection with the tongues of men. Someone asserted that “Satan is still learning work where some people who tell lies or falsehood are.” This implies those people told lies that even Satan would not have told or imagined. Well, Satan is the father or originator of lies and falsehood, but indeed there are lies Satan can only use the tongues of men or women to tell to people, after laying the lies or falsehood in the hearts of the deceivers.

Notice that sometimes a mad man or woman—that is, one possessed by demons or evil spirits—may be saying things that are true or factual, while a man or woman who seemingly is not possessed by any demon or evil spirit may be saying things that are lies or false. I am not saying evil spirits or demons do not lie, but saying they have to possess the mouths or tongues of men to be able to tell certain lies or falsehood to men. Two Bible references:

Reference 1 — A spirit that cannot tell lies in Heaven could possess the mouths of even prophets or pastors, and become a lying spirit only in the mouth or by the tongues of men.

1 Kings 22:22–23, AKJV: And the LORD said to him, “With which?” And he said, “I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.” And He said, “You shall persuade him, and prevail also: go forth, and do so.” Now therefore, behold, the LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these your prophets, and the LORD has spoken evil concerning you.

Reference 2 — Concerning the days of the Antichrist, False Prophet, and red Dragon, the prophecy said God will send to the world a strong delusion, deception, or lies, so that the world would believe the lies of the Antichrist, False Prophet, and Dragon to their damnation, because the world rejected the Truth that God earlier sent to them. Billy Graham, in 1974, told a story of a man who lied to a church, and the church believed him and received him; then later he confessed to the church that he had lied to them, showed them the truth, and the church cast the man away from them. Then the man said, “This is a strange church: I told them lies and they received me, and I told them truths and they discarded and rejected me.” So, God sent truth to the world and they rejected the truth, seeking and making research, especially scientifically, to disprove the truth of God. So, God will send them lies and strong delusion for them to receive:

2 Thessalonians 2:9–12, AKJV: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all delusion of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: that they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

But my objective here is to point out the lying spirit in the mouths of the Antichrist, False Prophet, and Dragon. Now read about it here:

Revelation 16:13–14, AKJV: And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the Dragon, and out of the mouth of the Beast, and out of the mouth of the False Prophet. For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth to the kings of the Earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

So, according to this reference, spirits of devils also work miracles, signs, and wonders, and yet are lying spirits in the mouths of false prophets. They are there for people who want miracles but do not want the truth.

Now, we must advance to the second method of the Accusers insisting on accusing a man whom they know is blameless, upright, faultless, and so on.

2-B. The Accusers may use “Shifting the Goalposts” to accuse a man they already know is blameless, upright, faultless, pure, and so on.

Shifting the goalposts differs from false accusation because it does not involve lying or false assertion, but involves manipulation of criteria or standards of requirements to become more difficult for the other party and more favorable to the party of the Accusers. Examples of shifting the goalposts by the Accusers of blameless, upright, faultless, or pure men in the Scriptures include Satan asking God to strike out the hedge of protection around Job and take away Job’s wealth and health as a drastic policy change, making the criteria or standards more difficult for Job but giving Satan more opportunities. Another example was making the Lord Jesus Christ, who was judged by Roman law and found blameless, upright, faultless, or pure, be condemned by another law of the Jews while still using Roman law to crucify the Man whom that law did not find guilty. That is, they used the laws of Moses, Jewish law, to establish the Lord Jesus as worthy of death, but applied that law in a jurisdiction of a different law, Roman law, that found Jesus Christ blameless and worthy to live.

“Okay, take Him and crucify Him according to your Jewish law, because by my Roman law He is found blameless, upright, faultless, or pure.” But the people said, “No, we only apply our Jewish law to condemn Him for claiming to be the Son of God, but we want you to apply your law to crucify Him based on what our law said of Him, even though your law says different things about Him.” Shifting goalposts or double standards:

John 19:6–8: When the chief priests therefore and officers saw Him, they cried out, saying, “Crucify Him, crucify Him.” Pilate said to them, “You yourselves should take Him, and crucify Him yourselves: for I find no fault in Him.” The Jews answered him, “We have a law, and by our law He ought to die, because He made Himself the Son of God.” When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid.

Meanwhile, Satan could not earlier find any cause of death for Him even in the Law of Moses. Satan used men with false accusations, and yet the witnesses or false accusers could not establish fault in Him until the Lord Jesus Christ gave them the only truth they were to use to crucify Him—that is, declaring He is the Messiah, Son of God.

Mark 14:55–64, BSB: Now the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were seeking testimony against Jesus to put Him to death, but they did not find any. For many bore false witness against Jesus, but their testimony was inconsistent. Then some men stood up and testified falsely against Him: “We heard Him say, ‘I will destroy this man-made temple, and in three days I will build another that is made without hands.’” But even their testimony was inconsistent. So the high priest stood up before them and questioned Jesus, “Have You no answer? What are these men testifying against You?” But Jesus remained silent and made no reply. Again the high priest questioned Him, “Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?” “I am,” said Jesus, “and you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power and coming with the clouds of Heaven.” At this, the high priest tore his clothes and declared, “Why do we need any more witnesses? You have heard the blasphemy. What is your verdict?” And they all condemned Him as deserving of death.

You see, even in the laws of Moses or Jewish law, the Lord Jesus Christ was blameless, upright, faultless, or pure, and they had a very hard time finding any fault worthy of death in Him. He only gave them “I am the Son of God” as their basis for condemning Him to death on grounds of blasphemy—but even that was true, not blasphemy.

However, the main Bible verse in this thread that contains an example of shifting the goalposts that Accusers use against blameless, upright, faultless, or pure men is this:

Daniel 6:5, GWN: “These men said, ‘We won’t find anything to accuse this man, Daniel, unless we find it in his religious practices.’”

Daniel 6:5, LBP: “Then these men said, ‘We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel unless we find it against him in connection with the law of his God.’”

In this Bible verse above, they had exhausted all there was in the Persian laws and all human laws, but found Daniel blameless, upright, faultless, or pure. They affirmed they could not continue to depend on any of the available laws to accuse Daniel because they would find none. So, they said they would go for a law that could accuse him on the grounds of his relationship with God or the laws of God.

So, they would shift the goalposts and get the king to make a new law or policy to use in accusing Daniel, since there was no existing law or standard that currently favored any accusation of Daniel.

Well, they were not resorting to false accusation, but they resorted to shifting the goalposts while still insisting on accusing or condemning a man declared blameless, upright, faultless, pure, and so on.

ISAAC & REBEKAH — GO OUT TO MEET HIM
COMPLETE TRANSCRIPT

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pLGaYTyfic?si=gA6bq7bup9kyQerg

Isaac and Rebekah: Go Out to Meet Him. Complete message. “And Isaac came from the way of the well Lahairoi; for he dwelled in the south country.” Genesis 24:62. Wonderful! Miracle! As God was bringing Rebekah to Isaac, God was also bringing Isaac to Rebekah. Both left significant wells behind them, heading towards the point where their paths would meet on the way. Isaac was completely unaware of the arrangement his father made with the servant to bring him a wife, because Isaac was not even living with them: for Isaac was living in the South Country, and based on divine timing and arrangement, the day Rebekah was coming through that way was also the day Isaac was coming out of the South Country. Verse unveiling. “The marching out of the Bridegroom from His chamber to meet or receive the coming Bride, or vice versa.” Finally, it was not Abraham’s servant that completely brought Rebekah into the house; rather, Isaac was divinely inspired to go out and meet his wife on his way, out in the street of the Well of the Lord, Who sees all. For a reason, God would not allow the servant to take Rebekah to Abraham first before she was brought to Isaac, and God brought Isaac out from the South Country to meet Rebekah. God sent them manna, but they had to go out of their chambers to gather the manna.

This was not like God bringing Eve to Adam, who woke from sleep and found the woman brought to him. This was God bringing Rebekah to Isaac, and at the same time bringing Isaac out to meet Rebekah on the wayside. The sun is not a Bridegroom that will remain in its chamber waiting for the Bride to be brought to it. Rather, the sun is as a Bridegroom that comes out of its chamber to run the race, one chasing after its Bride coming towards it. As it is written: Psalms 19:4–5. “Their line is gone out through all earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them has He set a tabernacle for the sun, which is as a Bridegroom coming out of its chamber, and rejoices as a strong man to run a race.” The way couples do this marching during their local wedding is different from the way God organized the march between Isaac, the Groom, and Rebekah, the Bride, with her maids. In local weddings, the Bridegroom marches in with his friends and gets to his seat on the stage, waiting for the Bride with her maids to march in to meet the Groom. But in the march between Isaac and Rebekah, not only did it involve traveling through far countries in marching to meet each other at their coming, but it also involved marching towards one another. Hence, the Bridegroom was marching towards the Bride, while the Bride was coming towards the Groom.

Whether it’s the Bride coming into the house where the Groom already is, or it’s the Groom coming into the house where the Bride already is, the one who arrived first in the house should go out to welcome or meet the other on the way, and then both of them should come in together. Matthew 25:6. “And at midnight there was a cry made, ‘Behold, the Bridegroom comes! Go out to meet Him.’”

WISDOM NUGGETS

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AyKe_I-sHQ?si=gWtICdZy3dxPm7Bf

1. When God is bringing a blessing toward you, He may also be calling you to move toward the blessing.

2. Providence can work at both ends of the road: Rebekah was coming to Isaac while Isaac was being drawn out to meet Rebekah.

3. Divine timing is when separate journeys arrive at one appointed moment.

4. Do not remain in your chamber when the answer to prayer is approaching on the road.

5. God may send manna, but you must still leave the tent and gather it.

6. A promise can be divinely arranged and still require a human response.

7. Sometimes the destination is not a house but a meeting point where two obedient paths become one.

8. The Bridegroom does not merely wait; he comes out of his chamber and runs his race.

9. Whoever arrives first should not use arrival as an excuse for indifference; go out, welcome the other, and enter together.

10. Leave the old wells when God is leading you toward the appointed meeting.

11. Being faultless does not guarantee freedom from accusation; sometimes integrity attracts determined accusers.

12. Never measure innocence by the silence of enemies. Job was called upright by God and was still accused.

13. False accusation attacks your record; shifting the goalposts attacks the rules by which your record is judged.

14. When an accuser cannot find a fault, he may invent a story. When the story fails, he may change the standard.

15. Do not abandon truth merely because lies are louder, repeated more often, or carried by respected tongues.

16. A miracle is not a substitute for truth. Signs can amaze the eyes while deception captures the heart.

17. Inconsistent witnesses reveal an accusation searching for a crime rather than a crime producing witnesses.

18. Jesus was declared faultless under one law while His accusers demanded death through another standard. Double standards often expose predetermined judgment.

19. Daniel’s enemies could find no fault in his conduct, so they created a law aimed at his devotion. When integrity cannot be condemned, corrupt systems may criminalize faithfulness.

20. Do not exhaust yourself chasing movable goalposts. Keep the standard of God even when men rewrite theirs.

21. The righteous answer to accusation is not always endless defense; sometimes it is continued faithfulness.

22. Let truth govern your tongue, consistency guard your conduct, and courage keep you moving.

23. Go out to meet what God is bringing, but stand firm when accusers come to meet you.

24. Move faithfully toward divine purpose, and remain faultless when falsehood and changing standards oppose the journey.

SCAVENGERS FULFILLED THE WORD — COMPLETE CONTINUOUS TRANSCRIPT

PART 1 OF 3

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUE3_W_6ELU?si=ZiMQRjmAlhsuGIUY
Scavengers Fulfilled the Word. Part one of three. First Kings 22:38, Good News Bible. “His chariot was cleaned up at the pool of Samaria, where dogs licked up his blood and prostitutes washed themselves, as the Lord had said would happen.” First Kings 22:38, King James Version. “And one washed the chariot in the pool of Samaria; and the dogs licked up his blood; and they washed his armour; according unto the word of the Lord which He spake.” In fulfilling the Word of the Lord. It’s not to celebrate the “swimming pool” in Samaria during the days of Ahab, where prostitutes used to swim or bathe in the swimming pool; but to celebrate the fulfilling of the Word of the Lord there by the pool about dogs licking the blood of Ahab. One prophet, Micaiah, said Ahab would die in Ramoth-Gilead and would not return safely in peace, but another prophet, Elijah, had already said Ahab’s blood would be licked by dogs in Samaria where Naboth’s blood was licked, First Kings 21:19. Both were fulfilled, in that Ahab was struck dead in Ramoth-Gilead, but his blood became a communion to the dogs at the swimming pool of Samaria, whereby a spoken word of the Lord was fulfilled. For Ahab’s chariot and armour bore his blood when brought to the dogs all the way from Ramoth-Gilead to Samaria. And the pool that was used to wash prostitutes was also used to wash the chariot and armour of Ahab off the blood of Ahab.

The Lord did not say, “Heaven and Earth will pass away, but My word will not go without being obeyed,” but He said, “Heaven and Earth will pass away, but My word will not go without being fulfilled,” Mark 13:30–31. All the Word of the Lord was not fully obeyed in Ahab, but all the Word of the Lord was fully fulfilled in Ahab. Even those who do not obey God’s words are fulfilling His words. Ahab would pass away, but the Word of the Lord will not pass away, but abides forever through being fulfilled. The washing of the water. Spiritually, the fact something is washed does not mean it is clean, John 13:10. You need water to wash something, but you need more than water to cleanse or purify it. It’s easier for washing water to make something “cleaner” than to make it “clean.” You must be clean before the washing of water makes you cleaner. Cleansing is more than washing, and includes purifying, trying, refining, and so on, to remove all forms of impurities, defects, and oldness. One can wash blood out of a land using water, but he cannot cleanse blood out of the land using water.

PART 2 OF 3

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwU8GmSA630?si=rzUZct5PpATc_erH
Scavengers Fulfilled the Word. Part two of three. Continued. “For blood defiles the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it,” Numbers 35:33.

There is no amount of ablutions or Islamic prayers that will cleanse away sins.

This includes the sins of Muslims and the blood of killers of innocent lives.

Sin can only be cleansed by the Blood for the remission of sins, and that is the Blood of the Lamb of God slain from the foundation of the world even before sin began.

Those prostitutes, the armour, and the chariot of Ahab that washed in that pool of Samaria were not made clean just by that pool. As someone asked, if soap and water truly cleanse a bathed person, then what gets the drying towel dirty when rubbed on the skin of the washed person? Before a pool or river would truly cleanse a man, the Word of the Lord must instruct the process. Naaman was covered with leprosy, but following the instruction of Elisha the prophet, Naaman dipped himself in the river seven times, and he was cleansed and purified by the same river he termed dirty or less pure than Abana and Pharpar of Damascus in Syria, Second Kings 5:12–14.

It was by the word of the Lord Jesus, who directed the man born blind to go and wash his face at the Pool of Siloam; and when the blind man washed, he was cleansed of blindness from birth into seeing the manifest revelation of the Son of God, Jesus Christ, John 9. Equally, when the Word of God is involved, even water washes to cleansing and sanctifying according to Ephesians 5:26. But behold, it was not the washing of the water that fulfilled the Word of God concerning the blood of Ahab, but the licking of his blood by the dogs did the fulfilling of the Word of God. Dogs licked—ate—to fill and fulfil. The dogs were getting filled while fulfilling the Word of God in relation to the blood of Ahab. But even the dogs themselves were not cleansed, though they fulfilled the Word of God. You are not cleansed by just fulfilling the Word of God, but by hearing and believing the Word of God. As Jesus said to His disciples, “You are clean through the words I have spoken to you, but you must abide in Me even though you are clean, in order to bear fruits,” John 15:3–5. Being clean alone will not make you bear fruit, but you must abide in the Lord of the Vine to bear fruits of the Spirit that will endure forever.

PART 3 OF 3

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bfm-LrNt4vg?si=Yg65OmjKe3P5lw-w
Scavengers Fulfilled the Word. Part three of three. Continued. Don’t be clean and yet fruitless, lest you become like one of those white—clean—but empty baskets on the head of the chief baker to Pharaoh before Joseph interpreted his dream in the dungeon. There are foods given to the dogs and foods not given to the dogs in the Word of the Lord. Food given to the dogs. Exodus 22:31: “You shall be holy people to Me, so you must not eat the meat of any animal that has been killed by other animals; instead, give it to the dogs.” First Kings 21:23–24: “The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel. Whoever that dies of Ahab in the city the dogs shall eat; and whoever that dies in the field shall the fowls of the air eat.” In a nutshell, give to the dogs dead meat or carcasses that humans must not eat. Food not given to the dogs. Matthew 7:6: “Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces.” Matthew 15:26: “It is not good to take the children’s bread and to throw it to the dogs.” But it was even better for dogs to only lick up the blood of Ahab or Naboth than for the dogs to eat up their carcasses as well, just as it happened to Jezebel.

Dogs were allowed to lick up Lazarus’s sores or pores of his skin disease; but even with the skin of Lazarus covered with diseases, his body was holy to the Lord, and as such dogs could not have his body when he died, because angels immediately came to carry his body away from the dogs, Luke 16:21–22. A man could have a body full of destroying worms—bacteria, H I V, or viruses—and yet that man’s body is holy enough for him to see God in that body, Job 19:26. Lazarus, who was full of sores or skin-bacteria diseases, still had a body far better than Jezebel, who had smooth skin and even applied cosmetics to further improve her skin, like today’s Kardashian, on the day of her death. For the dogs could not eat Lazarus when he died, whereas the dogs ate up Jezebel when she died just moments after she applied her cosmetics and skin-beauty enhancers. Jezebel with the smoother skin was cast down from above to the dogs of her death, but Lazarus with the skin of infirmities was lifted up from beneath, off the dogs, to the bosom of Abraham by more than one angel. May—in the month of May—the Lord preserve your spirit, soul, and body till the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

Things to Come. Complete message. Part one of one. The future is not just the time to come, but also the things to come. So long as there are invisible things, there will always be things to come: things to come arise from invisible things. “The Holy Spirit will show you things to come,” John 16:13. Things to come are still invisible to men until they come; however, the Holy Spirit shows us the invisible things to come by revelation and vision. As it is written, “But God has revealed them to us by His Spirit: for the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God,” First Corinthians 2:10. Even the Spirit possesses spirits. The children of God shall forever have the Spirit of God dwelling in them eternally. Even Jesus in Heaven has the Seven Spirits of God dwelling in Him. John 14:16–17: “And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you forever; even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it sees Him not, neither knows Him: but you know Him; for He dwells with you, and shall be in you.”

In the words of Paul. “On Earth you cannot measure eternal treasures. You will not measure true spiritual fruit rightly while you are on the Earth. You can only measure your true success by how much more clearly you are able to behold the Lord, by how much better you know His voice, and by how much more you love the brethren. You must not try to judge by the fruit you see on Earth, but do what you must do because it is right. You have been given much, and much will be required of you. Even if you bury many of the talents entrusted to you, you can accomplish far more than others, but you will have failed in your commission. You must never measure yourself by others, but keep pressing forward, seeking more of Him.”

MaxInDHouse:
Quote where the Bible says
1.Adam and Eve are now in heaven.
2. Jesus descended to hell to save mankind beginning with Adam.

As to question 2

Adam and Eve were among the pre-Noah's flood generations of people in Sheol, to whom the Lord Jesus Christ descended into Hell or Sheol to preach the Gospel.

[1 Peter 3:18-20 LBP] — "For Christ also once suffered for our sins, a just Man for sinners, that He might bring you to God, wherefore while He died in the flesh, He lives in the Spirit. And He preached to the souls imprisoned in Sheol; Those who in the past were disobedient; and in the days of Noah, when the Spirit of God had patience, He commanded an ark to be made in the hope of their repentance, but only eight souls entered into it, and were saved by it floating upon the water."

And Adam and Eve were among the saints that rose from the dead by death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. And when He, the Lord Jesus was lifted up in ascending, He drew all men He saved from Hell to Him and with Him in the Heavenly City, including Adam and Eve. John 12: 32-33, Matthew 27:50-53, Isaiah 26:19. When the Lord Jesus descended into Hell, He led Captivity captive, but set the captives who believed in Him free: and On ascending He drew all those souls or spirits with Him from Hell or Sheol onto unto the Holy Mountain of God in Heaven. Psalms 68:18, Ephesians 4:8-10.

Now to Question 1

Well, there is no where in the 66 Booked Bible that such statements were made verbatim. But there are other spiritual Books outside the Bible that reveal the truth and reality of the salvation and abode of Adam and Eve presently in heaven through the Cross and Grace of the Lord Jesus Christ.

This is what I will do instead from the Bible on this matter to show you why the Salvation of mankind must begin with or include the Salvation and participation of the first man and woman, who were the first Man, the first to taste sin, the first and the reason why all men died and needed salvation, and why it must be the Seed of the Woman or the Son of the Man [their descendant] that must correct and redeem their errors if mankind must be restored: For since Adam and Eve were not perfect, someone from among their descendants or offspring must be perfect and be all that Adam and Eve could not be in the image and kingdom of God. Four Groups of Points below

{1}. For the Lord to be the Son of Man and still the Son of God, involves the participation of Adam's Name. The Bible states, that Adam was the son of God. As it is written,

[Luke 3:38] — "Cainan was the son of Enos. Enos was the son of Seth. Seth was the son of Adam. Adam was the son of God."


{2}. First, Adam is the only "Man" in the complete spiritual legal sense apart from the Lord Jesus who is the Second Adam. Only these two were in the Image of God, Adam and the Lord Jesus Christ. No other human is either qualified as "Man" in strict spiritual legal sense or qualified as the "Image of God." Other humans including you and me are all bearing the image of Adam first, and then some of us migrated into bearing the image of the Lord Jesus Christ afterwards. And in strict spiritual legal sense, all other humans including you and me are children of man or men.



{3}. To further on the point above, here is reference:

[Genesis 5:1-3] — "This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made He him; Male and female created He them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created. And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, and after his image; and called his name Seth:"

From this scripture you that: Adam was in the likeness of God, but his offspring was in the likeness of Adam, not God. You also saw that Adam was the name God called both the Male and the Female, in the same day they were created.

This means in the same day they were created, which was on Friday {6th Day}, — The same day they were created was also the same day they sinned and lost the Garden of Eden — Friday, was the same day they were named, and they named all animals too.

Actually the first time the word Adam was used as his name was when he was to name the animals God brought to him. So God first named him before God used him to name others including naming the woman.

But the Woman received three names in that same Day: Since God called him Adam while she was still inside the man, she was still Adam even when she was taken out of the man or migrated from male into female.

The Hebrew word for "Adam" is the same Hebrew word for "Man." Therefore, Adam = Man.

So, both the male and female were called "Man" or "Adam." But Adam called her "Wo+Man" or "Woman" because she was taken out of Man. Woman is not the name that shows or identifies she's Female, rather Woman is the name that shows or identifies she's Taken Out of man. There's no name that shows or identifies she's female except female: For both the male and female were together called Adam. This mystery of plurality in singleness of one the perfection of the Man as the Image of God. Without this plurality or multiple in one, Man wouldn't be complete in the Image of God: — Therefore, "It was not good for the man to be alone" — the man was supposed to be multiple or plural, because God is multiple or plural yet one. Hence the two shall become one.

Here was the reason and the upgrade: — when God said, Let Us make Man in our Image, after Our Likeness — One God, but Multiple or Plural Beings yet One God or One He. The man He (God) was referring was "him" but the "him" is singular that must also be "them." So the "them" was inside the "him" to complete him as in the image and likeness of God: And let "them" inside the him have dominion over all earth realm things.

So, just as the Hebrew name of God, "Elohim" means "Multiple God Beings" in One, even so the name of the Man, "Adam" means "Multiple Them [Male and Female] Man Beings" in One. The Two are One, and the two shall become One.

The third or last name of the Woman, was not to show or identify her as female or as taken out of man, but to show all living mankind taken out of her — That name is "Eve" or "Eva" or "Evelyn." It means she is the Mother of all Living or like I said that "All Living taken out of her."

A. Her name as "Adam or Man" means she must also exist because without her existing and together with the Man or Adam, it will not be good for the Man to be alone: — She must pluralize the singleness of the male to qualify them being the Man or Adam together.

B. Her name as "Woman" means she was taken out of the man.

C. Her name as "Eve, Eva or Evelyn" means the man (Adam) too has to be taken out of her so that all the living will come out of her.


How can the man (Adam) be taken out of her (Eve) when she was the one taken out of Adam, the man?

Your question sounds like Nicodemus question to the Lord Jesus, saying, "How can a man be born again when he is old? Will he enter again into his mother's womb and be reborn? [John 3:4].


Yes, Adam had to enter into Eve and then come out of Eve repeatedly for all living to come out of Eve. The process of Adam going and coming out of Eve is called "Sexual Intercourse." Once Adam successfully went into her and came out, She became one with him and figuratively became mother of Adam, and Adam became the first of the Living of whom Eve the mother of all living, mothered. Thus, each subsequent time Adam called her Eve, Adam was indirectly calling her mother.

All these were by the Wisdom of God making arrangements for the Seed of the Woman, One who qualifies as the offspring of Eve, to redeem both her mistake and living mankind.

Behold the Lord Jesus Christ came, made of a woman who was an offspring of Eve, and made under the Law, to redeem those who are under the Law — Galatians 4:4-5.



{4}. So Adam and Eve were important stakeholders who also participated in the success of the Lord Jesus Christ in the redemption and restoration of all things. Adam and Eve were deliberate in putting all things in place while awaiting the coming of the Messiah. Adam was the first king on earth before the fall, and Adam was the first priest on earth after the fall. The success of Abel in offering to God was thanks to Adam.

It seems people only remember the sin of Adam and Eve because of the pains and death they caused, but I tell you, apart from that sin of eating of the forbidden tree Adam and Eve lived a sinless and righteous life throughout the rest of their lives, almost for 1000 years.

Imagine Adam and Eve lived 930 years, and no single single was found in them except the sin of the forbidden tree, which they committed in their earliest or first day on earth. The rest of their lives, they never again sinned against God, or against man, or against animals, or against nature, etc. They never lied, never stole, never polluted any body of water, never killed any animal or insect for no good reason, never hated any man, never committed fornication, etc, and they lived in one of the hardest times to live on earth for almost 1000 years with continuous temptations and harassment of Satan for no other humans to occupy the attention of Satan but only Adam and Eve, yet they were without sin apart from the eating of the forbidden tree.

Now compare that to your own record of maybe 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, or 100 years you have lived in a relatively better world and how sins you have in your records.

Are you then expecting the Lord Jesus Christ to save worse sinners from hell with record of average of (70*7)/100 sins per year, but leave Adam and Eve in hell forever when their record is only 1/930 sin per year?

Calculate your own rate of sin per year to show if you would have done better or worse than Adam or Eve in the Garden of Eden or in heaven if your rate of sin per year, since Adam or Eve record stands at 1/930 which is 0.0010753 sin per year.

Truthseeker10:
Below is Psalms 9:17 and Ecclesiastics 9:10.

King James Bible
The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.


King James Bible
Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.

What Hebrew word was "Hell" and "Grave" translated from according to the verses above?

The Hebrew word used in both verses for both "Hell and the Grave" is "Sheol."

I assume you are trying to make the point that Hell is simply Grave that has no work, no device, no knowledge, no wisdom, no activities, according to the "Ecclesiastes 9:10" you cited.

So I will be using the Hebrew word "Sheol" to tell about the cruelty, torments, sorrows, dead, and chains, of Hell. Let's go:

First let's establish the true message of the "Ecclesiastes 9:10" you cited. The message is to hasten us to do all we can or should do before we finally enter the grave, because it will be too late to do anything to add or remove from what we did on earth once we are set in the grave. It is more like an adage, not a disclaimer or denial of the activities or things happening in the grave or hell. I give you two similar statements like that of Ecclesiastes 9:10.

{1} — "Repent now before it is too late; for there is no repentance in the grave."

If I detach part B from part A of the above statement, I will miss the point and may even deceive myself and others arguing that there is no repentance in the grave or hell. Actually, the purpose of part B in that statement or context is simply to push people to part A as the right or best option, even though part B is still an option or reality. In this case, there are so much repentance in the grave or in hell, but those repentance is too late or simply "Had I known." It's the repentance that does not profit or work salvation or even add or remove anything from what was done while on earth.


{2} — "I will work the works of Him that sent Me while it is day; the night comes when no man can work." [John 9:4]

If I detach part B from part A of the above statement, I will miss the point and may even deceive myself and others arguing that there is no man can work in the night. Actually, the purpose of part B in that statement or context is simply to push people to part A as the right or best option, even though part B is still an option or reality. In this case, there are so much works done in the night, but those works are either too late or simply "imperfect" like those of the five foolish virgins that went out in the night to buy oil but all their efforts were useless and unprofitable because those works were too late.

{3} — "Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest." [Ecclesiastes 9:10]

If I detach part B from part A of the above statement, I will miss the point and may even deceive myself and others arguing that there is no activities or events in the grave or hell. Actually, the purpose of part B in that statement or context is simply to push people to part A as the right or best option, even though part B is still an option or reality. In this case, there are so much works, devices, knowledge, wisdom from the pit of hell.

Well, I know you may not agree. So I should go on to using the Hebrew word, "Sheol" to define the cruelties and torments in the grave or hell as recorded in the Bible. Please allow me to cite the Bible References with replacing the words with and when their Hebrew version is "Sheol." (Go and verify any of them).

If someone is in hell forever and suffering there how does that equates to been dead?
God told Adam
"but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.”‭ Genesis 2:17 NIV‬

Satan told Eve
“You will not certainly die,” ‭Genesis 3:4 NIV‬

Please from what Adam and Eve knew what is death?
And who lied between Satan and God since Adam and Eve are now in hell forever suffering as they are not dead according to what God said?🥱

So to answer your questions:

First, Adam and Eve are no longer in hell, but delivered from hell into heaven by the Second Adam, the Lord Jesus Christ. The Lord descended into Hell to save mankind beginning with saving Adam and Eve because they were the father and mother of all the living.

Secondly, God told the truth while the Serpent lied — because they died indeed the day they ate of the forbidden tree.

Thirdly, someone damned or condemned to suffering forever in hell is dead in all ramifications of being dead. Hell is the realm or world of the dead.

Your misunderstanding of the whole meaning of the dead or death stem from your idea of what death or dead means but different from what I have been explaining.

**** Your idea about death is being lifeless, motionless, becoming non-existing in all realms or ramifications. To you being dead means disappeared or vanished into nothingness, vanity and now non-existent. While the world and their scientists define death or the dead by those lines, those are not the meaning of the dead or death in spiritual or true reality.

>>>> To Scientists = Living things are things with characteristics of living things such as in the acronym, "MR NIGER D" or "MRS NIGER" or "MRS C GREN" (whichever suits your location) — Standing for *MR NIGER D = Movement, Respiration, Nutrition, Irritability, Growth, Excretion, Reproduction, Death.* Anything that does or have ability for these things are called living, while the non-living things or dead things are incapable of any of them.

>>>> To the Spiritual = Even Dead People still have or do *MR NIGER D = Movement, Respiration, Nutrition, Irritability, Growth, Excretion, Reproduction, Death.* There is no time a human soul or person ever becomes unable to exhibit characteristics of living things. Those characteristics do not define whether a person or soul is dead or not: those characteristics only define what realm or world the person is active or passive. E.g. if someone does not exhibit any of those characteristics of living things, we the spiritual do not say the person is dead, we only say he is absent (passive) in this realm but present (active) in another realm. So also, if someone is full of those characteristics of living things, we still do not say the person is alive, though the person is present in this world or realm obviously and not absent — dead people to us are people disconnected from God of Life and are fallen in sin, heading to hell.

**** These are the true realities and definitions of the Dead, Dying or Death:

To be dead simply means to be detached, be severed, be disconnected, be cast out or fall from the height, of a body's essence or source of life.

It is disconnection, not disappearance, of a person from his living body or life source. I already showed from the Angel of life and death matters how Adam death's took three or more detachments or disconnection that stripped him of life while he descended into death. Adam became a dying man, which means his death was in process of dying before it completed his death about 5000 years later, unlike how Abel who died instantly because he was killed by Cain.

1. First, let me discuss the detachment or disconnection of death with Abel before returning to Adam you asked as case study.

When Cain killed Abel, Cain thought the person of Abel has disappeared forever and silenced in oblivion of nothingness the way you and other people regard dead people as non-existent anywhere. But no, Abel, the first man to ever completely die in human understanding, was still alive and living though he was dead. His soul was only detached from his body, but his blood was still alive so that if scientists had used microscope to study his blood cells anytime after he was dead in the body, they would have found his blood cells still alive or moving and exhibiting characteristics of living things. Even today, some scientists discovered that the sperm cell of a freshly dead man's body can still give life and pregnancy to egg of a woman. Bottomline, Abel, though dead in the body, was still alive, moving and speaking, though he could no longer touch physical objects or be felt by them.

2. Back to Adam: You have heard there is "First Death" and "Second Death." Within First Death, there are levels or stages of death to complete the First death. Here are two stages of death Adam underwent: {1} Death of his body's incorruptible and glorious essence, and {2} Death of his body's ghost and breath of life essence, about 930 years later. Then finally been bound in hell with chains of death in hell.


QUS
Describe Death of Adam's body's incorruptible and glorious essence

ANS:

When Adam ate the forbidden tree, Adam's Body died instantly, which was when Adam saw he was naked. His body had lost or detached from glorious body he had, into this average body humans now have. Check your healthy body now, and see what Adam became reduced to, though in those days even their reduced bodies were far more healthier and stronger than what humans now have that can barely live up to 120 years without failing.

In contrast to Adam, Moses went from average body to obtaining the kind of body Adam lost. When Moses had seen God from behind, his body underwent transfiguration and became glorious, shiny and bright like some degree of sun. That new found body of Moses, though he veiled his face or body from people who feared light and preferred darkness, was like the body Adam and Eve lost in the first stroke of death in the event of eating of the forbidden tree.

See the twist of events, Adam's Body that could never die was killed by the forbidden tree, and reduced to the average adamic or fallen body, while Adam continued living in the reduced body that became vulnerable to infections or became naked to exposures or attacks.

On the other hand, Moses body could never be destroyed by any worm, virus, decomposition, fire or destruction, unless Moses eat of the forbidden tree of knowledge of good and evil. Though Moses died because God struck him for he was not to enter the promised land for his son, though he begged God for forgiveness but was not granted, yet the body of Moses was incorruptible and indestructible because even if the body was without clothing that body was never naked or vulnerable. Satan fought to possess Moses' body for himself but Michael ensured the body of Moses was taken to heaven. For even though God his where He buried the Body of Moses, Satan was more busy searching to exhume and possess the Body of Moses more than Satan or demons would possess any other man's body especially not those who have destroyed or degraded their bodies through fornication and uncleanness.

God later allowed Satan ability to destroy Job's untouchable body with worm, virus and boils, but God still kept Job's life untouchable to Satan. But what did Job prophesied concerning the same body?

[Job 19:25-27] — "For I know that my Redeemer lives, and that He shall stand at the latter day on the earth: And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: Whom I shall see for myself, and my eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me."

How does these verses answer the below question?

The question demands reference(s) or citation(s) from the Bible where the doctrine of God burning all wicked people in Hell forever is established. While the Verses answer them collectively, not individually: Here's how:

{1}. "Psalms 9:17" — Answered the "All" part of the question while keeping the destination part of the question in hell. That is, not some or most of the wicked, but "All the Wicked or All nations that forget God" shall be turned, cast or made to go down into Hell or realm of the dead. Some translations used Hell while your NIV used realm of the dead. The Realm of the Dead means the world of the dead, especially described by Job in Job 10:21-22 as the world of Darkness where light there is as darkness.

The bottom line is that it is a "Realm of the Dead" in which the dead are undead. Understand the meaning of "the undead" — they are like zombies in the apocalypse that are vampires and their worm (virus) do not die, neither is their fire quench. I should have waited to say this part under the verses of Isaiah 66:24 and Mark 9:43-45. So, I will just bring them up next.

{2 + 3}. "Isaiah 66:24 and Mark 9:43-45" — Answered the "forever" duration of the question while keeping the destination part of the question in hell. According to Isaiah 66:24, the dead bodies of the rebels or wicked do not just return to dust, as we see or say on this side of the earth realm that dust return to dust concerning dead bodies or corpses. Rather Isaiah tells us there that the dead bodies are perpetual matter that cannot be destroyed into complete extinction for the destruction of the bodies in hell is followed by instant reconstruction of the bodies again for another round of painful destruction of the bodies. This cycling and recycling continue forever, so that the worm or viruses eat the bodies of undead never die, never stop eating and never say enough, because there is nothing like "Enough" in any part of hell; neither is the fire burning those undead bodies quenchable. As it is written, "[Proverbs 27:20] — "Hell and destruction are never satisfied with enough; so the desires of man are never satisfied."

Basically, the souls of men are attached to their bodies, feelings or emotions. So what their bodies feel their souls feel even more in the realm of the dead/undead.

{4 + 5}. "Psalms 11:6 and Jude 1:7" are to show the upgrade from hell into Second Death, into which both hell and death or destruction themselves are cast. This one comes down from heaven or you can call it the destruction or burning fire from heaven which is far greater and more deadly all death, all fires, all hell, all torments and all devils, combined. Psalms 11:6 indicates it has characteristics of Solid, Liquid and Gaseous states all at the same time because of the Wind or Breeze aspect, the Raining aspect and the Brimstone or Sulfur aspect. Jude 1:7 describes it as "Eternal Fire" powered by the strong undying energy or zeal of eternal vengeance or anger of God. First briefly sited when used in destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, which by just one looking back at it the wife of Lot was instantly frozen into a pillar of salt.
