Do you know that even inside heaven, all the angels/beings of heaven do not have the same grade of Holiness. Just as some angels are greater in strength, authority, power, rank, etc, than others, even so are they more "Holy" than others. The most Holy Ones are those who remain in the presence of God day and night forever, but the lesser Holy Ones only stay shortly in God's presence and then they are not able to continue staying and have to retreat at some point. According to this Enoch Verse: 1 ENOCH 14:21 - And the most holy ones who were nigh to God did not leave by night nor depart from Him..." Though all the angels may present themselves and come minister to Him on the Throne, most of them return or leave after the session to their posts, duties or levels. But there are those who never leave unless they are sent. These were the Most Holy Ones who were close or near to God, and they abide with Him in His Presence day and night without ceasing. These include the Seraphim, Cherubim or Living Creatures that are always with Him, the Archangels, the Thunders, the Thrones, and by the time Enoch was seeing this, there was nothing like the “Twenty Four Elders” then because the twenty Four Elders were from among men, not from angels. Well, after the Blood of Jesus Christ was shed, the Twenty Four Elders were then redeemed from among men to join those who remain in God’s Presence as Kings and Priests to God. As it is written, [Revelation 5:8-10] - And when He had taken the Book, the four beasts and twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odors, which are the prayers of saints. And they sang a new song, saying, “You are worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for You were slain, and have redeemed us to God by Your Blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; And have made us to our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. Enoch became the first man to be called among the twenty-four elders to come up to God there and hear His Word. So Holy Beings of Heaven are distinguished by their credentials of Standing or Beholding the Face of God round the clock. For instance, when Gabriel the archangel struck a priest of God with dumbness for questioning his gospel in doubt, Gabriel said "I am Gabriel who stands in the Presence of God" (Luke 1:19). That revealed he was one of the highest ranking Angels in all degrees including Holiness. Other lower angels would have been more severely punished if they had done what Zachariah did. And the Lord Jesus also gave us hint of the grade of Angels that were assigned little children who are still virgins and innocent. Because those little children are still pure, virgins and innocent, their assigned Angels are therefore among the Most Holy Angels, those Angels who can look at the Face of God: for not all angels of heaven can see the face of God because of their lower level of holiness. As it is written, [Matthew 18:10] — "See that you do not look down on any of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven." So the more little children are getting corrupted and depleting in holiness and innocence, the more lesser angels replace the more holier and greater angels in assignments to them. Therefore these are faithful sayings about seeing God: [Hebrews 12:14] "..Without holiness, no eye shall see God" [Matthew 5:8] — "Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God." You know the Cherubim, Rabim or Seraphim, are practically every where the Throne of God is. They rank among the highest in Holiness. Infact, wherever you see them, just know the Throne of God is there: for they are His Excorts and Drivers of the Wheels that drive His Throne. Now let's go down to the lower or lesser Holy ones. * Some Remain in God's Presence and behold His Face, but they do not go wherever God on His Throne goes * Some Remain in Heaven after presenting themselves before God in fellowship gathering, but they do not Remain in God's Presence and behold His Face because their low Holiness level * Some Present themselves in God's Presence during fellowship gathering/assembly, but they do not remain in heaven afterwards such as Satan in "Job 1" * Some have defiled themselves with women in fornication, and so they can never enter heaven let alone present themselves before God because all their holiness is gone, and they are not even fit to walk freely on earth such as the fallen angels that had sex with women. Fornication is most defiling sin against holiness/sanctification. * As wicked and evil as Satan is, he's still holier than the fallen angels that had sex with women in their bodies. * There's a "Son of Perdition" AKA "Antichrist" who though he's a son of perdition or already judged to be cast into the lake of fire, yet he enjoys some levels of freedom that the fallen angels do not have because though Antichrist is opposed to God and Blasphemous to God, ready to fight God without any iota of respect or regards for God or Jesus Christ, so that any one who just accepts his name as mark is automatically beyond the ability of the cross of Jesus to save such a one, yet Antichrist is not a fornicator like the fallen angels because he had no desire for women. As it is written, [Daniel 11:37] — "Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all." Therefore, [1 Corinthians 6:18] — "Flee fornication. Every sin that a man does is without the body; but he that commits fornication sins against his own body." This is the Will of God for you: [1 Thessalonians 4:3] — "For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that you should abstain from fornication:"

So when God comes, He comes with fire. The Coming of the LORD from heaven is also the Coming of Fire with the LORD. See Bible verses below: [b][Isaiah 66:15-16 BSB] — For behold, the Lord will come with fire— His chariots are like a whirlwind— to execute His anger with fury and His rebuke with flames of fire. For by fire and by His sword, the Lord will execute judgment on all flesh, and many will be slain by the Lord. [Psalms 50:3-4 BSB'19] — "Our God comes and will not be silent! Consuming fire precedes Him, and a tempest rages around Him. He summons the heavens above, and the earth, that He may judge His people:" [Psalms 97:3] — "Fire goes before Him and consumes His foes on every side." [II Thessalonians 1:8-10 NKJV] — in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. These shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power, when He comes, in that Day, to be glorified in His saints and to be admired among all those who believe, because our testimony among you was believed.[/b]

This series available at — www.peterch.com 1 ENOCH 14:17 - And from underneath the throne came streams of flaming fire so that I could not look thereon. Streams of flaming fire issued from the base of the throne like a river source, but Enoch could not gaze long into the streams just as a man may not gaze long into the sun directly with his natural eyes. Now, let us probe further into the mystery of these Streams of flaming Fire: I, Peterch, now tell you these three things about these Streams of Flaming Fire: 1. I tell you, “These Streams of Flaming Fire” are what became “The Lake of Fire and Brimstone (Second Death).” However, they were not yet separated from the Throne of God, meaning they are not yet a “Lake” though they are Streams of fire and brimstone. When they are finally cut off from the Throne, they will move from being Streams into becoming “Lake,” and then they can be called “Second Death.” This Throne of God, which is the Throne of Judgment, is on the Foundation of Righteousness and Judgment; and the Streams of Flaming Fire (Fire and brimstone) is cooking from the Base of the same Throne. Each time people and spirits provokes God into anger that kindles fire, they increase the cooking of the Streams of Flaming Fire that shall later consume the entire earth and all constructions and innovations of the whole world. As it is written, [Deuteronomy 32:22] - For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains. 2. I tell you, “The Beast (Antichrist) will lead those who shall be cast into these Fire and Brimstone while they are still Streams of Fire issuing from the Throne. After that, the Dragon (Satan, Lucifer, the Devil) shall lead those who shall be cast into these Fire and Brimstone while they are falling as Rain of Fire and Brimstone from heaven, and getting cut off from the Throne of Heaven. Then finally, Death and Hell shall lead those who shall be cast into these Fire and Brimstone when they shall become Lake of Fire and Brimstone (Second Death).” Behold, this next bible reference from the book of Daniel reveals when the Beast (Antichrist) was cast into the Streams of Fire that was issuing from the Throne: [Daniel 7:9-11] - I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the Hair of His Head like the pure wool: His Throne was like the fiery flame, and His Wheels as burning fire. A fiery stream issued and came forth from before Him: thousand thousands ministered unto Him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened. I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake: I beheld even till the beast was slain, his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame. Behold, this next bible reference from the book of Revelation reveals those who worshipped the beast or receive the mark of the beast may also be cast into the Stream of Fire while the Stream of Fire is still in the presence of God and His Angels, issuing from the Throne: [Revelation 14:9-11] - And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.” Behold, this next bible reference from book of Revelation reveals when the Dragon (Satan or Lucifer) was cast into the Lake of Fire during the raining of the Fire and Brimstone from God out of heaven: [Revelation 20:9-10] - And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. Again, Ezekiel revealed these against “Gog and Magog”: [Ezekiel 38:22] - And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone. Behold, this next bible reference from the book of Revelation reveals when Death and Hell were cast into the Lake of Fire and Brimstone. As it is written, [Revelation 20:14-15] - And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. In all of these, this is sure that “The Wrath of God is revealed from Heaven” (Romans 1:18). These things are coming down from heaven, not coming up from abyss. The Fire and Brimstone is coming down from Heaven, and so is the wrath of God coming down from heaven to and upon the earth and the sinners. [Psalms 11:6] - Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup. 3. I tell you, “After These Streams of Flaming Fire issuing from the Base of the Throne is cut off forever from the Throne, they shall be replaced with Stream of Living Waters issuing from the base of the same Throne. But that will be in the New Heaven and New Earth, not in this old earth.” Thus, instead of streams of fire from the throne of God, behold there shall be the new thing and then there shall be the Streams (Rivers) of living Waters of Life from the Throne of God and of the Lamb, having the Tree of Life in the midst thereof, all in the New Heaven and New Earth. That Throne will not be just the Throne of God alone, but shall be called the “Throne of God and of the Lamb” so that the Living Waters of Life shall issue from the Throne of Both God and the Lamb forever. As it is written, [Revelation 22:1-3] - And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manners of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and His servants shall serve Him: Continue reading more this series at — www.peterch.com

1 ENOCH 14:13 - And I entered into that house, and it was hot as fire and cold as ice. There were no delights of life therein; fear covered me, and trembling got hold upon me. Though appearance gave much glory to this Glass House, feelings found neither pleasure nor comfort in it. According to feelings, dwelling in the house meant exposure to both hot fire and freezing cold at the same time because the air-conditioning of the house are with two extreme and opposite temperatures that could not neutralize themselves though opposite, hot and cold. They were not lukewarm/neutral, and yet they were neither all hot nor all cold: rather they were extremely hot and cold. Feelings found no pleasure or no delights of life in that room. Instead of Fun, there came Fear and Trembling as seizures and waves of fevers to terrify anyone advancing in that room. So what's the security or protection for? What treasure or pleasure exists in that Glass House that was so furnished and fortified? Well the treasure or pleasure that House had and secured was "The Entrance Portal, Corridor or Passage, into the Throne Room." That in itself is a great treasure and secret worth protecting and housing. In other words, a Doorway, Portal or Access Points Lobby, (into the most glorious Room) became the hidden treasures for which a gigantic House of Crystals was built and furnished. Can you build a large house just for the security and protection of an important Doorway that's hidden within that house, and nothing else feels comfortable or pleasurable inside that house including the air-conditioning and heating of the house, to discourage unwanted dwellers in that house? This house is not a comfort zone, but there's Access Networks and Links into the very Presence of God where there's fullness of joy and pleasures at His Right Hand forevermore. [Matthew 7:14] — "Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leads to life, and few there be that find it." [Hr] 1 ENOCH 14:14 - And as I quaked and trembled, I fell upon my face and I beheld a vision, and lo! there was a second house, greater than the former, and the entire portal stood open before me, and it was built of flames of fire. Allow the fear of God and the trembling to make you fall, instead of making you run away from it. In other words, better to allow the fear of God to overcome you, than to allow the fear of God to chase you. When you fall under the fear and trembling of God as Enoch did in this Enoch Verse above, God will then raise or exalt you into standing up on higher ground, higher realms or higher levels. But when you flee from the fear of God (like those men with Daniel when the Vision came or those men with Saul on the road to Damascus when the vision came), you may not see the visions as Enoch saw when, as Saul (Paul) saw when he fell or as Daniel saw when he did not flee or run like the men with him. As it is written, [Daniel 10:7-8] — "And I Daniel alone saw the vision: for the men that were with me saw not the vision; but a great quaking fell on them, so that they fled to hide themselves. Therefore I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me: for my comeliness was turned in me into corruption, and I retained no strength." Therefore, this is where "Falling" is better than "Fleeing;" and dying for it is better than living a coward. For those who fell shall receive grace and ability to see visions, dream dreams and rise from the dead. Therefore, [Proverbs 24:16] — "A righteous person may fall seven times, but he gets up again. However, in a disaster wicked people fall." [Micah 7:8] — "Rejoice not against me, O my enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD shall be a light to me." [John 12:24] — "Truly, truly, I say to you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it stays alone: but if it die, it brings forth much fruit." This is the faithful roadmap: "Whoever would save his life (fleeing) shall lose it; and whoever shall lose his life (falling) for the sake of the Lord shall find and keep it." Enoch did not flee, neither did he drew back nor backslide; and he fell on his face. Immediately he fell on his face, he found the Vision that contains the Portal (Door) into the very Presence of God the Father in the Holy of Holies. Have you ever fallen under the anointing before, I mean quaking or shaking anointing that you couldn't stood but fell and slept? Behold the description of this Second or Latter House: It was greater than the former. The glory of the Latter House shall be greater than the former (Haggai 2:9). This greaterness was not just in glory but also in size and in all ramifications of goodness. Moreover, the former house was built of crystals, but this second House was built of "Flames of Fire" meaning it was constructed, erected or built inside "Blazing Fire" or "Vibrating Fire" as in when Goldsmith forges things in oven fire. This is to make it endure eternity by passing through God's Fire. [Mark 9:49] — "For everyone will be salted with fire." [1 Corinthians 3:13-15] — "The day will make what each one does clearly visible because fire will reveal it. That fire will determine what kind of work each person has done. If what a person has built survives, he will receive a reward. If his work is burned up, he will suffer [the loss]. However, he will be saved, though it will be like going through a fire." And as soon as one portal (door) opened to Enoch, all the other portals (doors) into that same House also opened to Him. This meant all the Doors (Portals) work in unison as one: to open one is to open all, and to close one is to close all. Do you now understand why the King of Glory asked the "Gates or Everlasting Doors" (plural or all of them) to open for Him to come in, instead of just asking only one of the Gates or Doors He was to use to open? Asking One of them to open is asking all of them to open. [Psalms 24:7] "Lift up your heads, O you gates; and be you lift up, you everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in." This is called ministering "Entrance in abundance" seeing all Doors would be opened for he who shall enter the kingdom of heaven. Written: [2 Peter 1:11] — "For so an entrance shall be ministered to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ."

1 ENOCH 14:11 - Its ceiling was like the path of the stars and the lightnings, and between them were fiery cherubim, and their heaven was water. The Ceiling (Roofing) of the inner court Glass House of Heaven had the appearance of agitated Stars and flashes of Lightnings, with Cherubim of fire in their midst under water-stormy sky. — Like to some Translation. Now in this Enoch Verse, the Ceiling of the Glass House was basically so open (transparent) that it was easy to see through the ceiling into the Stars, Lightnings, Cherubim, Waters or Heavens above. To give an earthly example of it, I recall seeing a video of a glass (transparent) floor, having waters in tank underneath with lights lightening the living fishes that swam in the water tank underneath the glass transparent floor in that; so that walking on that floor was literally like walking on the waters of sea. Supposing we tweak that to illustrate this: —Then, ** instead of the Floor, let's say the Ceiling; ** instead of water tank underneath, let's say Waters Heaven Above; ** instead of fishes, living creatures and lights in the water tank underneath, let's say the Fiery Living Creatures (Cherubim of fire), Stars and Lightnings above the "See-Through" Ceiling. This Ceiling was not just Transparent or a See-Through, but was far more better Telescope than those used by scientists in studying stars and objects in far distance above. Yes, even the waters above the heavens and the living creatures under them could be seen through this Ceiling. Yes, there are waters above the heavens since the day God made the Firmament and divided the waters above the heaven from the waters (seas) below the heaven on the second day (Genesis 1:6-9). As it is written, [Psalms 148:4] — "Praise Him, you heavens of heavens, and you waters that be above the heavens." It therefore means that the Holy of Holies, the Throne Room of God, is above these Waters and sited on Beam that seats in the Waters above the heavens. As it is written, [Psalms 104:2-4] "God cover Himself with light as with a garment: God stretched out the heavens like a curtain: God lays the beams of His chambers in the waters: God makes the clouds His chariot: God walks on the wings of the wind: God makes His angels spirits; His ministers a flaming fire:" It also means that God seats on the Waters above the heavens, and though those waters above the heavens cannot be called "Seas" those waters above the heavens are called "Flood." As it is written, [Psalms 29:10] — "The LORD sits on the flood; yes, the LORD sits King for ever." Now, we need not tweak that earthly example I mentioned above, seeing from the perspective of God's Throne Room: for then the waters would be underneath the Floor like I saw it in that video, having living creatures, stars and lightnings, underneath the Floor like those fishes and lights. 1 ENOCH 14:12 - A flaming fire surrounded the walls, and its portals blazed with fire. Did you just read that "God makes His Ministers Flaming Fire" (Psalms 104:4)? Behold, a flaming fire surrounded the walls, and its "Portals or Doors" were blazing with fire. Imagine seeing one of such dreadful fire, and yet that was one of the Doors or Portals to enter into the realms of your higher calling. This God and His deep relationship with Fire: He Himself is a Consuming Fire. We are servants to the God of Fire, who may be accessed through Fire. Even the Glass Walls were transparent and See-Through, and one could see through the Walls that a flaming fire surrounded them, and their portals (doorways) blazed with fire.

1 ENOCH 14:9 - And I went in till I drew nigh to a wall which is built of crystals and surrounded by tongues of fire: and it began to affright me. Enoch entered heaven and began seeing “Built Structures,” and “Wall” precisely. By “Built” I mean it was not just created but constructed: and thus we are looking at a “Construction” and not just a mere “Creation.” You know how atheists and skeptics have argued that the creation was a random act or accident that does not justify the existence of an intelligent Creator; but no one argues with a construction or built structure being evidence there was a Builder(s). “Built” here implies it did not grow up like plant or by reproduction, but by edification. And because the wall is built with Crystals (pluralized or diversified), the wall is therefore a “Glass Wall” because crystals are basically Glasses and they are clear. Have you been into a Glass House before? And because the Crystals used in building that wall were pluralized or diversified, it means they were not crystals of the same substance but crystal of different precious stones as listed in these bible verses: [Revelation 21:18-20] - And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like to clear glass. And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald; The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst. Enoch went inside heaven and came near to a built wall, built of crystals and the wall was surrounded by tongues of fire (instead of buckets of flowers) for decoration and watchfulness as if those tongues of fire were external security lights by the walls. And then looking at the wall began to terrify Enoch, as looking at the rims of the eternal Wheels would terrify Ezekiel in “Ezekiel 1:18.” Many things in heaven command dreadfulness by appearance as part of their makeup and respect. This is because the “Fear of God” is part of the inspiration and architecture incorporated into the creation or construction of significant things in heaven. So you that want to go into heaven should prepare and brace up to face the most fearful things and dreadful Beings in true realities of Life. That all men should know that truly, the fear of God is the Beginning of Wisdom, the Beginning of Eternal Realities. There is no horror movie that is more dreadful than beholding eternal realities built for the fear of God. Anyone who does not fear God even on earth is a fool; and there is no way any action can go unpunished if there was no fear of God attached to the action. Therefore, God attaches “Fear of God” in every eternal detail, and man must attach “Fear of God” in every action and word they do and say on earth. Fear of God must be found in all things to sustain them without attracting punishment or destruction upon them. The sins you committed are showing there is no fear of God in your eyes, and so those sins are mocking or insulting God in another man’s conscience (heart): for another man’s conscience or heart is judging your sins in his heart, and saying in his heart, your sins show you don’t fear God. Therefore, your sins mock God in another person’s heart or conscience, saying you don’t fear God. As it is written, [Psalms 36:1-3] - The transgression of the wicked said within my heart, that there is no fear of God before his eyes. For he flatters himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful. The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he has left off to be wise, and to do good. Is there fear of God in every word or action you make? Seeking the fear of God in something is same as seeking the foundation of wisdom inside that thing: for the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom and knowledge. Now, even though Enoch was summoned to come up into heaven, he still met a wall on his way and he had to pass through the wall to access his high calling. Hence, he had to go through any of the Gates or everlasting Doors. 1 ENOCH 14:10 - And I went into the tongues of fire and drew nigh to a large house which was built of crystals and the walls of the house were like a tessellated floor made of crystals, and its groundwork was of crystal. The door through which Enoch entered into the Glass House of Heaven was the Tongues of Fire, which became like a Portal to him. So to enter and go through, beyond the dreadful wall, Enoch went through a Fire that was actually “Tongues of Fire.” The difference between these “Tongues of Fire” and the those tongues of fire that fell upon the church on the day of Pentecost when they were filled with the Holy Spirit is that those tongues of fire were “Cloven, Splitted, Fragmented or Divided” tongues of fire that was shared among the disciples in the upper room as if one mantle of Grace was fragmented and shared among over hundred persons. But the Tongues of Fire through which Enoch entered into the Throne Room of God were not cloven or fragmented. Later you will understand that entering through the cloud is not so much different from entering through the fire. The same Pillar of Cloud by day became Pillar of Fire by night, and same cloud Moses entered on Mount Sinai appeared like a devouring fire in the sight of the rest of the people who were not invited to enter with Moses [Exodus 24:16;18]. And behold, by going through that portal of the tongues of fire, Enoch entered into higher level closer to where he could enter into the realms of seeing God on His throne. Even in heaven, there are levels or higher realms, and some doors or portals will take you to the Topmost levels, other doors or portal will take you to just a higher, lower or few levels (realms) different from where you are. But the Tongues of Fire led Enoch close to a large Glass House or House built of Crystals. He was not yet by the Throne Room of God, but he was by the topmost room in that realm and needed to enter into another higher realm from there before he could reach the Throne Room. So let’s say, this was inner court tabernacle, and one more portal for him to enter into the Holy of Holies (Throne Room of God). But behold the makeups of this glass House which I call the Inner Court Tabernacle: The Walls (plural) of this Glass House was like tessellated floor, meaning it was as if the Floor Tiles were used as Wall Tiles in the patterns of the Wall finishing used on the walls of crystal. And the groundwork or paving was of crystal (singular, and perhaps the crystal of Gold). Therefore, both the walls and the floor were built with clear glass (crystals), and yes, there is the crystal of Gold that is also clear glass. As it is written, [Revelation 21:18] - And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like to clear glass.

[1 ADAM+EVE 16:1] — AFTER this Adam and Eve ceased not to stand in the cave, praying and weeping, until the morning dawned upon them. Adam and Eve did not sleep after mourning for Jesus Christ (the Lord who must suffer for the Salvation of mankind). Infact, Adam and Eve did not have resting sleep in the very first night (darkness) they ever experienced, though they fainted as dead therein for fear of unknown darkness. Behold, the first morning dawn met Adam and Eve praying and weeping. They stood, prayed and wept, until the first sunrise. They neither sat after sharing the passion of Christ, nor slept that night. Behold a group of men who had similar sorrow that Adam and Eve had, but unlike Adam and Eve here those men slept that night despite the sorrow and darkness due to the Sufferings of God as Jesus Christ. Written, [Luke 22:45-46] — "When Jesus rose from prayer and returned to the disciples, He found them asleep, exhausted from sorrow. “Why are you sleeping?” He asked. “Get up and pray so that you will not enter into temptation.”" [1 ADAM+EVE 16:2] — And when they saw the light returned to them, they restrained from fear, and strengthened their hearts. Seeing the light restored to them brought courage and renewal of strength to our first parents. Their fears faded with the fading darkness, and their refreshing grew with the growing light of the day. Indeed, joy comes in the morning after weeping tarried for the night. [Psalms 30:5] — "For His anger endures but a moment; in His favor is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning." [1 ADAM+EVE 16:3] — Then Adam began to come out of the cave. And when he came to the mouth of it, and stood and turned his face towards the east, and saw the sun rise in glowing rays, and felt the heat thereof on his body, he was afraid of it, and thought in his heart that this flame came forth to plague him. It was the first time a man looked at and saw the sun rise, the eastern sun, and he became afraid of the sun for its heat, and his fear opened him up to distorted view of fears and insecurities that the sun was sent to plague him with flames or fire. This was similar to how he was afraid of the coming presence of God walking in the Garden in the cool of the day (without heat). So in the cool of the day without heat, Adam feared the Voice of God walking towards him "yesterday" (previous day); and "today," in the heating of the day with sun heat, Adam still feared the rising sun. Thus Adam began developing unnecessary "Conspiracy Theories" and preemptively thinking evil about new innovations or inventions he had no clue about, because there was insecurity in his heart. Even the Disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ had such fears that made them refer to Him as a Ghost coming to destroy them in the ship, when they saw Him walking on the waters of the sea during the storm walking towards them. Let us neither be insecure in heart nor admit conspiracy theories in our thoughts, but grow in both grace and knowledge. The Sun is not a conspiracy, but a gift. As it is written, [Ecclesiastes 11:7] — "Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun:" [1 ADAM+EVE 16:4] — He wept then, and smote upon his breast, and fell upon the earth on his face, and made his request, saying:-- Excuse Adam, for by then man was like a baby in experience of earthly things without the garden of Eden. I have seen where a baby was afraid of its own shadow following it under the sun, and the baby wept and fell for fear of its own shadow. Adam too wept, smote himself and fell on earth on his face, for fear of the Sun and its heat. Fear could make people do or act like babies, especially when the fear fills the void of ignorance (lack of knowledge) with distorted images, imaginations or theories, of fear as if they are factual or real. Fears that are not of God are rooted in deception/misinterpretation. [1 ADAM+EVE 16:5] — "O Lord, plague me not, neither consume me, nor yet take away my life from the earth." There are Prayer Requests that were inspired by Fears or Doubts, and this particular prayer Petition of Adam is an example of such prayer. Such prayers are not inspired by the Spirit of God but by fears. It's like the Disciples of the Lord woke Him from sleep in the Boat, with a prayer for salvation inspired by fearfulness or little faith. But He arose and calmed things down, before He rebuked the fears or little faith that inspired them to come to Him with such prayer in the midst of the storm. Written, [Matthew 8:25-26] — "The disciples went and woke Him, saying, “Lord, save us! We are perishing!” “You of little faith,” Jesus replied, “why are you so afraid?” Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and it was perfectly calm." Even so, some prayers for deliverance or salvation are inspired by fearfulness of little faith in God. Have faith in God, and let not your prayers contain fears, doubts or double-mindedness of insecurities in your heart.

1 ENOCH 14:8 - And the vision was shown to me thus: Behold, in the vision clouds invited me and a mist summoned me, and the course of the stars and the lightnings sped and hastened me, and the winds in the vision caused me to fly and lifted me upward, and bore me into heaven. Like Enoch here, when a man says, “A vision was shown to me” instead of saying “I saw a vision,” the man is implying there was a “Revelation” and not just a “Vision or Perception.” Vision or perception alone couldn’t have enabled Enoch see these things, but by “Revelation” or “Being Shown” to him. Meaning they were revealed to him even though they were a vision. In the Enoch Verse above, the vision was revealed to Enoch this in way: He first saw in the vision that Clouds invited him, and a Mist summoned him; Then the course of the stars and the lightnings sped (accelerated) to hasten him; And then the Winds in the vision caused him to fly and lifted him upwards, and carried him into heaven. This means there was inside the vision a “Trance” or “Abstraction” in form of a “Rapture” of Enoch into heaven, because Enoch was “Enraptured” or “Caught-up” into heaven by the Winds in the vision, following two basic protocols or important orders. This is a lesson that when these two important or basic protocols are fulfilled to any man/woman, he/she too will be raptured into heaven. So what are these two basic protocols that must be fulfilled first before any of us can be raptured or caught up into heaven either in vision or in reality? 2. The Second one is the “Protocol of Timing” 1. The First one is the “Protocol of Invitation” Well, not always in that particular order, but I followed the order used in this Enoch Verse. Some other order may have the “Protocol of Timing” first and then the “Protocol of Invitation” next/second, like in the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. But know this: - If the protocol of Timing comes first, then the protocol of invitation will hasten things or adjust things to serve the protocol of Timing. E.g. the coming of the Son of man (Jesus Christ) is depending on the protocol of Timing, which no man knows the hour or day except the Father in heaven knows when the Son shall come; but if that day comes, the protocol of Timing shall cause the protocol of invitation to make angels Shout, blow trumpets or go out to invite, call or gather those to be raptured into heaven. But in this Enoch verse, the Protocol of Invitation was leading the Protocol of Timing because the Clouds issued the Invitation and the Mist summoned or called Enoch; and so the Protocol of Timing had to hasten or adjust things up by making the stars and the lightnings to hasten and speed up (accelerate) days (time) to match with the right/proper time for Enoch to be raptured or taken into heaven. It was after the time or fullness of time was right that the Winds (Chariots) or whirlwind came and carried Enoch into heaven. All these happened in the vision revealed (shown) to Enoch. Well, to enter heaven, you need to be properly invited (called) and you need to be properly timed. Even Elijah was not taken into heaven until the right day (time) came, and the prophets knew the day (time) had come for Elijah to be taken into heaven but not the same time for Elisha or the rest of the prophets to be taken into heaven. As it is written, [2 Kings 2:1] - And it came the time, when the LORD would take up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind, and that was when Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal. But do clouds issue invitations or does mist summons someone into heaven? Some people only know clouds for rainfall or covering of the sun; but in heavenly terms, Clouds are much more because they are basically “Ships” or “Space-Crafts” vehicles and mobile tents (dwelling Places) to God, to angels and to Men of God. So, when the clouds invite or call, either God inside the clouds is the One Calling or Angels inside the clouds are the ones inviting, though you heard voice from the cloud. As it is written, [Matthew 17:5-9] - [5] - While he yet spoke, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a Voice out of the cloud, which said, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; you Listen to Him.” [6] - And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid. [7] - And Jesus came and touched them, and said, “Arise, and be not afraid.” [8] - And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, except Jesus only. [9] - And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, “Tell this vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.” According to this bible reference, the experience on the transfiguration of Jesus Christ was also a “Vision” just as Enoch was having a “Vision.” In the vision on the mount, Peter, James and John, heard Audible Voice from the Cloud speaking to them directly, and neither the transfiguration or appearance of Jesus Christ nor the appearances of Moses and Elijah could scare those three men as the voice from a cloud did to them. Only that Voice got Peter to really shut up and listen. The Pillar of Clouds by day, which became Pillar of fire by night, that led Moses and Israelites in the wilderness, spoke and invited Moses. As it is written, [Exodus 24:16-18] — The glory of the Lord rested on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it for six days. On the seventh day [God] invited Moses out of the midst of the cloud. And the glory of the Lord appeared to the Israelites like devouring fire on the top of the mountain. Moses entered into the midst of the cloud and went up the mountain, and Moses was on the mountain forty days and nights. Again, the Clouds first received Jesus Christ before Heaven: (Acts 1:9). [Acts 1:9 AMPC] — And when He had said this, even as they were looking [at Him], He was caught up, and a cloud received and carried Him away out of their sight.

EZEKIEL 1:20 "Wherever the spirit was to go, they went, thither was their spirit to go; and the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels." [Ezekiel 1:20 AKJV] Lord, help me to help Your People. Let us separate two distinct “Spirits” in this Bible verse above, beside the Living Creatures and the Wheels. —No¹ — The Spirit (God is Spirit) —No² — Their spirit (spirit of the living creatures) Wherever ‘The Spirit" (God) was to go, they (Rabim) went: and there was "Their spirit” (spirit of the Rabim) to go; and the wheels were lifted over against them: for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels. So it's not just one spirit as some bible translations render it, but two distinct Spirits: the first Spirit is the One those Rabim are following wherever the Spirit go, and the second spirit belongs to the Living Creatures but also possessing the Wheels and making the wheels to be lifted up even above the living creatures sometime. So their spirit was giving more leverage to the wheels than even to they themselves, so that it appears their spirit was doing more for the wheels without wings than their wings/abilities were doing for the Rabim themselves. The lacking parts having more. Now let's unveil some spiritual mysteries from this verse 1. * spirit of someone can possess another body, and cause that body to do even more than the original owner of the spirit is doing. For examples: The spirit of Elijah rested on Elisha, as double portions of Elijah's grace, making Elisha do twice as much as Elijah did. Even so, the spirit of the living creatures was in the Wheels, enabling the Wheels to somehow overtake the Living Creatures. 2." The Living Creatures were not following Their spirit" but following “The Spirit.” [/b]It’s the spirit of the living creatures that was following the living creatures, while pulling the wheels along. But the Rabim were following or going where the Spirit (God) would go. A prophet is not to be led by the spirit of the prophet. but by the Spirit of God: the spirit of a prophet is subject to the prophet. Even so, do not let your spirit to lead or rule you: rather you rule your own spirit. As it is written, [b][Proverbs 25:28] — “He that has no rule ever his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls.” (Proverbs 16:32] — "He that is slew to anger is better than the mighty; and he that rules his spirit than he that takes a city.” 3.* Those Living Creatures (Rabim) are led by the Spirit (God), but that did make them ‘Sons of God.” Paul had written, saying, For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons ef God" {Romans 8:14}. If that was as true as it sounds, then these Living Creatures would also be sons of God. So what's the difference? The difference is in the leadership and privilege of “Going” but not those of "Doing." Those Living Creatures being led by the Spirit of God can go wherever the Spirit goes, but they are not given to do whatever the Spirit does. That's the difference. Anywhere I go you go, but not everything I do you do. You must therefore, differentiate both. True Sons of God alone have the leadership and privilege of “Doing whatever God the Father or the Spirit is Doing” for angels do not have those unless they are sent specifically to do as He is doing. So they have those of going or being wherever He goes, while the true Sons of God have those of doing what He does and even greater things than these though He is in heaven and they are on earth. As it is written, [John 5:17,19] — “But Jesus answered them, My Father works till now, and | work. .. Then answered Jesus and said to them, Truly, truly, | say te you, The Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do: for what things soever He does, these also does the Son likewise.” [John 8:41] — “You do the deeds of your father...” [Philippians 2:13] — "For it is God who works in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure.”

1 ENOCH 14:6 - And previously you shall have seen the destruction of your beloved sons and ye shall have no pleasure in them, but they shall fall before you by the sword. "You" here referred to the watchers (fallen angels) who had fornication or marriage with daughters of men, and had children that became giants through the daughters of men. Enoch spoke these words to them according to the Divine Decree that had gone forth in their final Judgment, saying to them, "Previously or before those three bans upon them, those watchers shall watch while their beloved sons or children are destroyed before their eyes, and they shall have no pleasure or possession of their children because they shall watch as their offspring shall be slain by the sword before their eyes." And that will be the last things those watchers shall be assigned to watch before darkness will blind them forever from seeing anything in the light. This Judgment was later similarized to the judgment that Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, passed upon Zedekiah, king of Judah. This included killing all the sons of Zedekiah, making him watch as his sons were wiped out; and then blind him with darkness by removing his two eyes and then bind him in chains forever till the day of his death. As it is written, [Jeremiah 52:9-11 NKJV] — So they took the king and brought him up to the king of Babylon at Riblah in the land of Hamath, and he pronounced judgment on him. Then the king of Babylon killed the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes. And he killed all the princes of Judah in Riblah. He also put out the eyes of Zedekiah; and the king of Babylon bound him in bronze fetters, took him to Babylon, and put him in prison till the day of his death. 1 ENOCH 14:7 - And your petition on their behalf shall not be granted, nor yet on your own even though you weep and pray and speak all the words contained in the writing which I have written. You that asked me if the book of Enoch is canonized, did you get my reply, saying, the Book of Enoch was not canonized but the book of Enoch is inspired of God and the book of Enoch is scriptures. It is not being canonized that makes it scriptures, but being by the inspiration of God. As it is written, [2 Timothy 3:16] — "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:" According to this Enoch Verse above, neither the intercession of the fallen angels on behalf of their sons nor their prayers for themselves shall be granted no matter how much they quote the scriptures that Enoch has written. It therefore means, the book of Enoch was the scriptures available for the fallen angels in their Judgment. By then, the entire Bible had not existed nor came into being when the Book of Enoch was the scriptures or the Book of the Words of Righteousness and Reprove of the Watchers, breathed by the Breath of God. No canonized book of the bible existed then, when the book of Enoch was the only scriptures sent to the watchers via their final Judgment. But behold, even Enoch told them that it would be in vain for them to be quoting the scriptures (Enoch has written) in their prayers to God, because even if they quote all the scriptures in their prayers, yet their prayers shall not be granted. You know that thing about quoting the scriptures or it is written while praying to reinforce, persuade and argue, your prayer points: more like quoting the constitution (law of the land) before the court during one's prayer, petition or argument. But the final Judgment is the end of all scriptures. Scriptures cannot be broken, but the Final Judgment cannot be altered or varied. The final Judgment is the final say: and since God has the final say, the final Judgment is therefore the final Scripture or the end of all Scriptures. [Job 29:22 ICB] — After I finished speaking, they spoke no more. My words fell very gently on their ears.

The book of Enoch is scriptures and inspired by God. It doesn't have to be canonical, but just being scriptures and inspired of God is enough. |
1 ENOCH 14:5 - Your petition will not be granted unto you. And from henceforth you shall not ascend into heaven unto all eternity, and in bonds of the earth the decree has gone forth to bind you for all the days of the world. Here are the three basic substances of the divine sentence passed upon the watchers (fallen angels) for all eternity: 1. No Granting of Prayers (Petitions/Request) – Prayer Denied 2. No Access/Ascension into Heaven – Heaven Denied 3. No Freedom on earth by reason of the binding chains – Liberty Denied They can't reach God in prayer, they can't reach heaven in access, and they can't reach freedom on earth. So this Enoch verse above contains summary of the three most “Door-Shutting Denials” against any soul or spirit in any realm, and those three Denials are also three Bans: "Banned their Prayers from being granted, "Banned them from Heaven, and "Banned them from having Freedom, for all eternity.""" [/b]This means all hope is gone for all eternity to those who are thus banned - hence, "[b]Anathema." These three are the most fearful darkness, greater than any other darkness because to have hope in any darkness is to have light at the end of the tunnel but to have no hope at all for all eternity is to have a hopeless darkness where there can never be any sign of light (hope). These are some of the greatest woes to those condemned in hell under the most torturous darkness and perdition. One of the greatest of open doors any one has now is “Prayers been heard, accepted and granted by God.” To lose this privilege of your prayers being heard and accepted by God is to lose salvation and lose the biggest part of your communication and power in speech (words), making your words significantly powerless because your prayers are not respected by God. Remember this, obtaining salvation is dependent on God hearing your prayers and accepting you: you cannot be saved if your prayers are not heard, for only those who call upon the name of the Lord (and the Lord hears them) that shall be saved. Infact, the remaining two (accessing/opening doors of heaven and setting someone free/loose) are dependent on the first one (God hearing one’s prayers). If God cannot hear you, the heaven is shut against you, and your true freedom on earth is gone, leaving you in bondage or spiritual chain/cuff. This is because, both “Access to Heaven” and “Access to Freedom (Libration)” are two parts of the same “Salvation.” If you are not saved you cannot enter or access heaven, and if you are not saved you are not set free indeed. But again, Salvation or being Saved depends on God’s hearing you to save you: thus, Salvation depends on Prayer/Petition in the name of the Lord. If the LORD’s Ear cannot hear you, then the LORD’s Hand cannot save you. Now go through these few bible references I cite below, and notice how “Save/Salvation” is related to “Hear/Hearing” of God in these bible references. [b] [Isaiah 59:1] - Behold, the LORD'S Hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither His Ear heavy, that it cannot hear: [2 Corinthians 6:2][Isaiah 49:8] - (For He said, I have heard you in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I helped you: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.) [Micah 7:7] - Therefore I will look unto the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me. [Psalms 118:21] - I will praise You: for You have heard me, and You become my Salvation. [Psalms 20:6-9] - Now I know that the LORD saves His anointed; He will hear him from His holy heaven with the saving strength of His Right Hand. [7] - Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God. [8] - They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright. [9] - Save, LORD: let the King hear us when we call. [Psalms 145:18-19] - The LORD is near to all them that call upon Him, to all that call upon Him in truth. [19] - He will fulfill the desire of them that fear Him: He also will hear their cry, and will save them. [Habakkuk 1:2] - O LORD, how long shall I cry, and You will not hear! Even cry out to You of violence, and You will not save! [Psalms 34:6] - This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. [/b]

www.peterch.com [1 ADAM+EVE 15:1] — Then Adam and Eve wept and sorrowed by reason of God's word to them, that they should not return to the garden until the fulfilment of the days decreed upon them; but mostly because God had told them that He should suffer for their salvation. Adam and Eve here represented all the entire human race, mourning or sorrowing because of Him (the God who suffered terribly for our Salvation), knowing we all were part of the reason our God suffered that much. You cannot be partaker of this great Salvation without beholding how much God (Jesus Christ) suffered to purchase this Salvation; and watching Him suffering those terrible things because of us is the greatest form of heart breaking and rendering we are yet to experience. Those who have gone through that experience of truly beholding the Passions and Sufferings of God (Jesus Christ) until their heart is broken by it, those are the ones who will never imagine to sin against Him because they cannot bear to crucify Him the second time. Rick Joyner had a taste of this while he touched the Red Stone in the treasures of Salvation during his vision or trance in dream. I remember a sister in church that first narrated how she wept bitterly when she first saw the movie called "The Passion of the Christ" in those days when that movie recently came out. That movie tried, but there's much more to seeing the true Passions and Sufferings of God in the flesh that made even the earth to quake because God the Father Himself and the entire Heavens quaked and trembled while beholding the Passions and Sufferings of Christ. Nothing had been able to shake or move the Almighty God and Fearless Being before, nor ever will, except the Suffering that Christ crucified Suffered. God became most humbled by His Sufferings. Hence, the memories of His Sufferings are some of the greatest treasures stored in the heavens, seeing by them God was greatly touched and trembled even on His everlasting Throne. And we have not gone past weeping and mourning for the Sufferings the Lord Jesus Christ suffered, even though He's now risen to die no more. Adam and Eve had their own share of weeping and mourning when they beheld their God had to go through all those Sufferings for their Salvation. The Disciples were sorrowful too when they knew their Lord's Suffering was inevitable, and they had their own share of heart breaking in seeing and knowing their Savior suffered such terrible death. Behold, all men who have part in this great Salvation will at a point mourn and weep because of Him who suffered for this Salvation. That shall be a Day of Global Mourning for Jesus Christ crucified or Pierced for our Salvation. As it is written, [Revelation 1:7 NKJV] — Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Even so, Amen. [Zechariah 12:10-14 NKJV] — “And I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication; then they will look on Me whom they pierced. Yes, they will mourn for Him as one mourns for his only son, and grieve for Him as one grieves for a firstborn. In that day there shall be a great mourning in Jerusalem, like the mourning at Hadad Rimmon in the plain of Megiddo. And the land shall mourn, every family by itself: the family of the house of David by itself, and their wives by themselves; the family of the house of Nathan by itself, and their wives by themselves; the family of the house of Levi by itself, and their wives by themselves; the family of Shimei by itself, and their wives by themselves; all the families that remain, every family by itself, and their wives by themselves.

1 ENOCH 14:1 - The book of the words of righteousness, and of the reprimand of the eternal Watchers in accordance with the command of the Holy Great One in that vision I saw in my sleep. In the Book of Revelation - "Revelation 20:12" - Books were opened, and they were judged according to those things written in those Books containing and pertaining their deeds and works. This Court of Final Judgment is not like the worldly Courts of men, which require plaintiffs, defendants, evidences, exhibits, summons, witnesses or even Lawyers, Attorneys, Solicitors, Advocates etc. This eternal Court of Final Judgment does not operate with those aforementioned in the list, neither does it have room for any attorney or evidences or claims, because Books do all those. Only Books do the attorney, lawyer, evidence, claims, plaintiff, defendant, objections, originating summons, overrules, etc, and all those jargons associated with court systems in this world. There is no room for those jargons in the Day of Final Judgment with God on the White Throne, except Books and no one argues with those Books that shall both be opened and written in the Day of the Final Judgment. However, "Revelation 20:12" said nothing about Books being written or writing Books in that Day; but only said Books that were already written shall be opened in that Day of the Final Judgment. But I now tell you, Books will not only be opened and read in the Day of the final Judgment, but Books will also be Written in that day of Judgment. In this world, when a Court Judge rules on any case, that ruling gets to be written inter'alia records of the court events pertaining the case. Much more than so shall it in the Day of the final Judgment. The Books that shall be written in that same Day shall be known as "The Books of The Words of Righteousness" or "Books of the Reprove…" This Enoch Verse above contains the first of such Books of the Words of Righteousness, and/or Books of Reproves. Enoch was co-author of the first Book of the Words of Righteousness, and of the Reprove of the eternal Watchers in accordance with the command of the Holy Great One in that vision he saw in his sleep. That was because Enoch witnessed and recorded the first "Final Judgment," which was the Final Judgment of the Watchers. Those Watchers have had their final Judgment, and there was no more Judgment for them even though they await the day all men shall have their own final Judgment. From the beginning of this Enoch Chapter (14) to the end of the next two chapters (16), are the walk through of the entire experiences Enoch had in receiving the contents in this Book. 1 ENOCH 14:2 - What I will now say with a tongue of flesh and with the breath of my mouth, which the Great One has given to men to converse therewith and understand with the heart. There are many things the eyes of flesh cannot see, but the mouth of flesh can say them with its breath or the tongue of flesh can utter them by its spirit; and more importantly the heart of flesh can understand them with its spirit. You couldn't receive them through any receptor or gateway of the flesh, but you could both process them with a heart of flesh and publish them with the mouth or tongue of flesh using the breath of your mouth. Flesh & blood did not reveal to Peter what his tongue of flesh said. Blessed are you Peter, for flesh and blood has not revealed these to you, neither did you receive these from the eyes of flesh; and but you have uttered them with the breath of your mouth, with the tongue of flesh among men, having believed with your heart of flesh. Enoch spoke to the watchers, the words of righteousness, and of reprove of the watchers, in accordance with the Command of the Great and Holy One, using the breath of his mouth and the tongue of flesh as a son of man talking to sons of heaven. 1 ENOCH 14:3 - As He has created and given to man the power of understanding the word of wisdom, so hath He created me also and given me the power of reprimanding the Watchers, the children of heaven. Among us, those who are given great wisdom and understanding, stand better chance of being made to judge angels. As you see with Enoch above, relating how God giving the power of understanding wisdom to man with how God giving the power of reproving the watchers or angels (children of heaven) to men, beginning with Enoch the first man to receive such grace to judge the children of heaven. Hence, being wise is required to being judge over angels (children of heaven). As it is written, [I Corinthians 6:3-5 NKJV] — Do you not know that we shall judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life? If then you have judgments concerning things pertaining to this life, do you appoint those who are least esteemed by the church to judge? I say this to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you, not even one, who will be able to judge between his brethren? To judge angels, one must be able to speak wisdom among those who are perfect, knowing angels are perfect beings. [1 Corinthians 2:6] — "However, we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nothing:" And knowing that angels of God in heaven are very wise and intelligent beings, from heaven they know more things in earth even more than human beings that were formed or born as dwellers on earth. [2 Samuel 14:20] — "To fetch about this form of speech has your servant Joab done this thing: and my lord is wise, according to the wisdom of an angel of God, to know all things that are in the earth." Behold Enoch, who began to judge or reprove angels (children of heaven) as a son of man with the breath of the mouth and tongue of flesh, was one of those God empowered with the understanding of Wisdom. Wisdom and Judgment are one. When the breath of the mouth of the righteous man speaks wisdom, know that his tongue of flesh talks of Judgment. As it is written, [Psalms 37:30] — "The mouth of the righteous speaks wisdom, and his tongue talks of judgment." 1 ENOCH 14:4 - "I wrote out your petition, and in my vision it appeared thus, that your petition will not be granted unto you throughout all the days of eternity, and that judgment has been finally passed upon you. The prayers of the fallen angels shall never be granted them throughout eternity because they have already had their "Final Judgment." The final Judgment is the eternal closure against every "Appeal" or "Prayer" that the judged could make. For example, if a lower court gives Judgment, one can still appeal to higher courts and make prayers to higher courts. But if the Supreme Court makes Judgment, there can be no more appeal or prayer unless if there is a higher court greater than the supreme court. God's Final Judgment cannot be appealed, neither can any prayer be entertained to offset or vary any part of the final Judgment. Therefore, those Petitions of the watchers or fallen angels shall not be granted because they had their final Judgment passed on them, shutting down the door to any prayer or appeal in all eternity. If prayers could be granted after Final Judgment, then everyone would be appealing all Judgments and having their appellatus triumph over Judgment passed on them. At what time then do you tell a damned soul crying for mercy and second chance in hell, that it is too late to repent now because "Judgment is Set" ?

Read this Enoch Chapter 14, and note these five things: How Enoch judged the watchers (fallen angels). How Constructions in heaven were made of crystal, How the Waters above the heavens above formed the ceiling of heaven, What Enoch said about the Wheels of the Throne of God and the Cherubim (Rabim) How Enoch described Heaven and God. 1 ENOCH 14 - {Ethiopic Enoch} 1. The book of the words of righteousness, and of the reprimand of the eternal Watchers in accordance with the command of the Holy Great One in that vision I saw in my sleep. 2. What I will now say with a tongue of flesh and with the breath of my mouth, which the Great One has given to men to converse therewith and understand with the heart. 3. As He has created and given to man the power of understanding the word of wisdom, so hath He created me also and given me the power of reprimanding the Watchers, the children of heaven. 4. "I wrote out your petition, and in my vision it appeared thus, that your petition will not be granted unto you throughout all the days of eternity, and that judgment has been finally passed upon you. 5. Your petition will not be granted unto you. And from henceforth you shall not ascend into heaven unto all eternity, and in bonds of the earth the decree has gone forth to bind you for all the days of the world. 6. And previously you shall have seen the destruction of your beloved sons and ye shall have no pleasure in them, but they shall fall before you by the sword. 7. And your petition on their behalf shall not be granted, nor yet on your own even though you weep and pray and speak all the words contained in the writing which I have written. 8. And the vision was shown to me thus: Behold, in the vision clouds invited me and a mist summoned me, and the course of the stars and the lightnings sped and hastened me, and the winds in the vision caused me to fly and lifted me upward, and bore me into heaven. 9. And I went in till I drew nigh to a wall which is built of crystals and surrounded by tongues of fire: and it began to affright me. 10. And I went into the tongues of fire and drew nigh to a large house which was built of crystals and the walls of the house were like a tessellated floor made of crystals, and its groundwork was of crystal. 11. Its ceiling was like the path of the stars and the lightnings, and between them were fiery cherubim, and their heaven was water. 12. A flaming fire surrounded the walls, and its portals blazed with fire. 13. And I entered into that house, and it was hot as fire and cold as ice. There were no delights of life therein; fear covered me, and trembling got hold upon me. 14. And as I quaked and trembled, I fell upon my face and I beheld a vision, and lo! there was a second house, greater than the former, and the entire portal stood open before me, and it was built of flames of fire. 15. And in every respect it so excelled in splendor and magnificence and extent that I cannot describe to you its splendor and its extent. 16. And its floor was of fire, and above it were lightnings and the path of the stars, and its ceiling also was flaming fire. And I looked and saw therein a lofty throne, its appearance was as crystal, and the wheels thereof as the shining sun, and there was the vision of cherubim. 17. And from underneath the throne came streams of flaming fire so that I could not look thereon. 18. And the Great Glory sat thereon, and His Raiment shone more brightly than the sun and was whiter than any snow. 19. None of the angels could enter and could behold His Face by reason of the magnificence and glory and no flesh could behold Him. 20. The flaming fire was round about Him, and a great fire stood before Him, and none around could draw nigh Him; ten thousand Times ten thousand were before Him, yet He needed no counselor. 21. And the most holy ones who were nigh to Him did not leave by night nor depart from Him. And until then I had been prostrate on my face, trembling and the Lord called me with His own Mouth, and said to me: "Come hither, Enoch, and hear My Word." 22. And one of the holy ones came to me and waked me, and He made me rise up and approach the door, and I bowed my face downwards.

EZEKIEL 1:19 "And when the living creatures went, the wheels went by them: and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up." [Ezekiel 1:19 AKJV] So as the living creatures moved, the wheels moved beside them, and when the creatures rose from the ground, the wheels also rose. [Ezekiel 1:19 BSB] I want you to like these particular words, and so I present them in a manner for you to love with joy. What you see in this Bible verse above will be applied as illustration for us in Gospel at the concluding of this interpretation. These Rabim and these Eternal Wheels are one, though they are different and distinct. You may have wondered why the mysteries of God do have ways of counting two or more distinct bodies as one when obviously they appear to be more than one in mathematical sense or numbers. E.g. God the Father and the Son are One, because both have or share just One Spirit. What you are seeing in the Bible verse above are just the outputs, outcomes, or symptoms, of the oneness that exists between the living creatures and their wheels. What made the living creatures one with the Wheels is that the spirit of the living creatures is in the wheels. Both the Rabim and the Wheels have one, same spirit. In the mysteries of God, there is no bond or joining together of two or more distinct bodies that is more powerful than the Bond of the Spirit (Unity of the Spirit — One Spirit with God). And in the mysteries of God, "Oneness" of two or more distinct bodies multiplies Grace, Powers, Abilities etc, by way of multiplication as Joint or joined together: This overrules limitations of natural laws, limitations of scientific laws or natural impossibilities. There was a time God said because the whole people of the world are one, nothing they imagine to do would be impossible or restrained to them (Genesis 11:6). So is "Oneness." Now look at the Bible verse above, and see how the Wheels were doing impossible things for Wheels to do, just because those Wheels were in "Oneness of spirit" with the Living Creatures. 1**** It's impossible for Wheels to move without a force either pulling or pushing the Wheel according to Newton's law of force. But see these Eternal Wheels moved and stopped without any engine, pulling force, or pushing force. Those Wheels could do so because they were in "Oneness of spirit" and in "Closeness/Nearness" with the Living Creatures doing it. 2**** It's impossible for Wheels to fly without wings or propeller. But see these Eternal Wheels flew and lifted itself up as eagles not minding the storms or wind, without the wheels having any Wing or Propeller Engine as plane or space ship. Those Wheels could do so because they were in "Oneness of spirit" and in 'Closeness/Nearness' with the Living Creatures doing it. Basically, the Oneness of spirit between the Living Creatures and the Wheels makes three things happening in the top bible verse above: 1. Oneness of spirit enabled the Wheels to always remain "Close/Near" with the Rabim no matter wherever the Living Creatures went. 2. Oneness of spirit enabled the Wheels to always remain "Go wherever and whenever" the Rabim go, no matter the speed of the Living Creatures in moving. 3. Oneness of spirit enabled the Wheels to "Fly, mount-up or ascend whenever/wherever" the Rabim flew, mounted up or ascended, no matter the Wings of the Living Creatures were not in the Wheels. Later you would find out it was the spirit of the living creatures that was inside the wheels, and not the spirit of the wheels inside the living creatures. For that reason, whatever the Living Creatures were doing, the Wheels were also doing, not by the might of the Wheels nor by their powers, but by the spirit of the living creatures at work in them. Even so it is written, [Zechariah 4:6] — "... “This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit, says the LORD of Hosts." In this Gospel, these Living Creatures are like the Lord Jesus Christ to Us, and we are like the Wheels having the Spirit of Christ in Us, and we are One Body and one Spirit with Him. Therefore: — As Christ Lives, we shall live with Him also — As Christ is lifted up from the earth ground, He shall draw us all to Himself also — As Christ Rose from the dead, we shall rise with Him also — As Christ Sits at the Right Hand, we shall Sit with Him also — As Christ shall reign, we shall reign with Him also, etc. Behold, it will be impossible for Christ to physical be seen returning from heaven without the remaining members of Christ automatically going to meet and be with Him in the air before He reaching the ground. It will happen like magnets, and then it will be difficult to separate Christ from those who must always go and do whatever or wherever He does, because of the One of the Spirit of Christ inside them. So limitations or impossibilities shall be swallowed by the mystery of the "Oneness of Spirit" between God and mankind in the Body of the Lord Jesus Christ. So do not look at what our bodies do not have or cannot do; rather look at what the Body of Christ has and does with His Body, for His Spirit shall be in our mortal bodies to quicken us after His Likeness or Glorious Body. These eternal Wheels here has shown us that we really do not necessarily need Wings to fly or ascend, nor need lightning to speed, but having the same Spirit at work in us as it is in He who has the Wings, the Lightnings and all abilities/powers, is enough. www.peterch.com

DANIEL 1:17 [Daniel 1:17 AKJV] "As for these four children, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams." [Daniel 1:17 AMPC] As for these four youths, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom, and Daniel had understanding in all [kinds of] visions and dreams. [Luke 21:15; James 1:5-7.] Here are two extracts from this Bible verse: 1.**** God gave the four young men knowledge and skill in all Academics (all learning) and wisdom, but only gave one of them (Daniel) understanding in all visions and dreams. They were all spiritual gifts, but not all in spiritual matters. There are spiritual gifts but in pursuance to non-spiritual matters, and on the other hand there are spiritual gifts exclusively in pursuance to spiritual matters — "comparing spiritual things with spiritual" (1 Corinthians 2:13) Notice that God gave the four of them spiritual gifts that became talents, skills or soundness of mind, in non-spiritual matters which were All Academics, meaning all learning and curricular Wisdom. But God did not give the four of them spiritual gifts that could make the four of them prophets or oracles of God, except Daniel that was given the gifts of understanding spiritual mysteries in all visions and dreams or revelations. Therefore, God is relatively more selective or careful in giving out spiritual gifts that would make the receiver a prophet, interpreter or oracle, of God. In other words, there are more people that God gave skills, intelligence, in physical matters, sciences, technologies, arts, histories, culture, languages, economics, politics, etc. But compared to those, there are few people that were chosen gifts that crosses the physical realms into spiritual Realms or mysteries of God. As it is written, [Luke 8:10 NKJV] — And He said, “To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest it is given in parables, that ‘Seeing they may not see, And hearing they may not understand.’ Like Joseph in Egypt had, Daniel in Babylon also had understanding in all visions and dreams. 2.**** When God gave these four young men skills and intelligence, God did not give to the rest of their fellow classmates that had defiled themselves. Nevertheless, all of them already had some skills or intelligence to qualify to be enrolled or admitted into that class. God just gave of His grace to those four students to set them far above their fellows. They were not lacking in skill or intelligence, seeing their initial qualifications proved they were all skillful and intelligent. Written [Daniel 1:4] — "Children in whom was no blemish, but well favored, and skillful in all wisdom, and cunning in knowledge, and understanding science, and such as had ability in them to stand in the king's palace, and whom they might teach the learning and the tongue of the Chaldeans." Now they all had these skills or talents in them, but only four of still received more of those as "Gifts of God" despite having them as qualifications. So no matter how much they had wisdom, knowledge, skill or understanding, there was still rooms for them to receive more of those as Gifts of God. When it comes to such grace, a cup is never truly full. There's always room to increase in learning, increase in wisdom, grow in knowledge and grow in grace. Do not stop to receive such grace from God. As it's written, [Proverbs 1:5] — "A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain to wise counsels:" [Luke 2:52] — "And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man." Notice Daniel already had skills and understanding before God gave more to him here. But even after this, Daniel still set his heart to understand more, and God sent Angels to give Daniel understanding and skill more. [Daniel 9:22] — "And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give you skill and understanding." www.peterch.com

FATHAT:God made Himself of no reputation to take on the Fashion of man. And being Man, He became Obedient to death, even the death on the Cross. No blasphemy in that: — God made man in His Image, after His likeness; so that God could also become Man in the Fashion of man. Apart from God turning Himself into Man (Second Adam), God also takes the Form of Wind, Rock, Stone, Fire, Water, Angel, etc. So taking the form of a man is not a blasphemy. |
1 ADAM+EVE 14:4 — But I will. When I shall come down from heaven, and shall become flesh of your descendants, and take on Myself the infirmity from which you suffer, then the darkness that covered you in this cave shall cover Me in the grave, when I am in the flesh of your descendants. God Himself "Will" be the One to deliver both Adam and Mankind from Satan the Devil. Yes, God Himself would come down from heaven, and would become flesh as the "Son of man," taking flesh from a descendant of Adam to become flesh Himself (Another Adam) just as He (God) had earlier taken a bone from Adam to make a woman (Female Adam) out of Adam's Body before. By taking the flesh of a descendant of Adam, all the infirmity and suffering that Adam experienced will be transferred or transmitted into God made flesh. Then He God too will be covered in darkness within the grave, just as He had covered Satan, fallen angels and Adam, in darkness. This means God would have dropped His bright Nature, by commending His Spirit into the Hand of God the Father. So that when He descended He descended into the lower parts of hell without His Brightness and under darkness in a Cave that was also grave for Him, as Adam felt. [Philippians 2:5-8] — "Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made Himself of no reputation, and took on Him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, and became obedient to death, even the death of the cross." Therefore that season was the season of the powers of darkness, when the Light of the World Himself (Jesus Christ) was covered in darkness under a bushel (grave), like total eclipse of the Sun. Not just the three hours of darkness that happened while he lived on the cross, and He felt the Father had forsaken Him; but also that darkness covering Him when He was inside that Grave of His that was sealed close without any Light or Lamp inside the cave of His grave. [Luke 22:53] — "When I was daily with you in the temple, you stretched forth no hands against Me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness." 1 ADAM+EVE 14:5 — And I, who am without years, shall be subject to the reckoning of years, of times, of months, and of days, and I shall be reckoned as one of the sons of men, in order to save you." The Lord God Himself became subject to Times and Seasons, as One of us in order to save us. How much "Under" or "Subjection" are you willing to come in order to save a man or men? Can you put yourself under the subjection of any yoke in order to go extra mile for the saving of a soul? The Lord God came under subjection or submission to many things, not to earn money, but to save souls. ** He was Timeless and Eternal, meaning He had immortality. But He subjected or submitted Himself into mortality, meaning He could now die like a man and He knew He had but a short time. Someone that could never die before, began to worry about death, aging and days of His years, because He wanted to save man. How many angels can give up their immortality for mankind to be saved? Can a man even lay down his own life for sinners to be saved? [Isaiah 53:8] — "He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare His generation? for He was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of My people was He stricken."
|
1 ADAM+EVE 14:1 — Then Adam said to God: "O Lord, take You my soul, and let me not see this gloom any more; or remove me to some place where there is no darkness." This was neither acceptance speech from Adam, nor is it now acceptance speech in my commentary. But this was one of the most important prayers Adam made for mankind, which was factored into the importance of God taking or removing the souls of righteous mankind into the realms of light — Heaven — where there's no darkness after death. It's not just about "Dust return to dust;" but has become about "Soul removed from the dust of darkness and taken into the realms of light" at death of Adam. This prayer of Adam here is different from the prayer of Job in the Bible references below. For Adam was praying and hoping God to make him die and go to a place of light where he would never see darkness again, while Job was praying and hoping God to make him die and go to a place of darkness where he would never see light again. As it is written, [Job 10:21-22] — "Before I go from where I shall not return, even to the land of darkness and the shadow of death; A land of darkness, as darkness itself; and of the shadow of death, without any order, and where the light is as darkness." [Job 3:20-23] — "Why is light given to him that is in misery, and life to the bitter in soul; Which long for death, but it comes not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures; Which rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave? Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, and whom God has hedged in?" Thus, Job was experiencing "Outer Darkness" when he rejected light and preferred darkness over having light; but Adam was experiencing "Gloomy Darkness" when he rejected darkness and preferred light over having darkness. Even so, there are living creatures that feel bad when it's light or day because they prefer it to be night or darkness, and there are also living creatures that feel bad when it's darkness or night because they prefer it to be day or light. There's difference between "Outer Darkness" and "Gloomy Darkness:" №* — Outer Darkness afflicts victims with Light by exposing hidden things, revealing secrets, or manifesting knowledge/truths, in ways that hit the victims with bitterness, pains, regrets, shame, conscience/heart condemning oneself etc, and the victims would desire to hide but cannot hide, neither can they take cover in darkness from getting exposed further to all. Therefore, there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. №* — Gloomy Darkness afflicts victims with Darkness by blindness, hiding things, mystifying, terrorizing, or confusing, in ways that hit the victims with fears, pains, threats, uncertainty, gropes, hopelessness, lack of knowledge, etc, and the victims would desire to see but cannot see, neither can they cast out veils covering their visions/sightings. Therefore, they vulnerable to evils, and they easily stumble and fall. 1 ADAM+EVE 14:2 — But God the Lord said to Adam, "Indeed I say to you, this darkness will pass from you, every day I have determined for you, until the fulfillment of My covenant; when I will save you and bring you back again into the garden, into the house of light you long for, in which there is no darkness*. I will bring you to it—in the kingdom of heaven." It's confirmed to Adam that it would not end in "Dust return to dust," but end in the Salvation of God through the Lord Jesus Christ wherein Adam and the souls of righteous mankind shall be delivered from the dust and darkness into the House of Light, which is, "The Kingdom of Heaven" that was first mentioned in the book of Adam and Eve here. Therefore, that prayer of Adam, known as Adam's Desire in this verse, was granted, but pending the fulfilling of God's covenant "New Covenant" in the Son of God, Jesus Christ crucified. Thanks to this Reality of Moving us from "Darkness into Light." As it is written, [Colossians 1:12-14] — "Giving thanks to the Father, which has made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who has delivered us from the power of darkness, and has translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:" [1 Peter 2:9-10] — "But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that you should show forth the praises of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy."

drlateef:That's not evidence against but evidence for. That's authentication. It means there are several witnesses, not just one man making all the claims. In court, one man being a witness or laying claim without another witness, undermines his evidence or claims. But the more there are other independent witnesses, testifiers, testimonies, to an event the more a matter is established. Bible and Quran no be mate. Quran is just one book, but Bible is a collation of 66 Books and more numbers of Non-Cannon Books. Even if you are to compare with your Quran, then compare Quran with just one book of the bible and not the whole Bible. Quran is just one book by one prophet you consider as Allah's Prophet, but I consider him as "Antichrist or false prophet." If it is one book + one author you need, then take one book of the Bible, say book of John, then that is one Book + one author. But Bible as a whole is a "Library of Books" of different authors, who were all Prophets of God and they received their revelations/inspirations from God. |
drlateef:I understand what you said, and I agree with you. But we are on two different sides. You are on the side that views Christians as the unbelievers under Satan's bonds, thinking your own religion is the revelation of God. But reverse is the case. True Christians are the ones with the true revelations of God the Creator, while you Muslims are the unbelievers with minds bound by Satan. We understand sincere Muslims' zeal for God the Creator, and there are good Muslims who fear God better than some Christians who do not fear God. But my point is that you Muslims got it all wrong in two most critical Areas: 1. — "Your Perception of God — The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit." 2. — "The Ways of Salvation." My topic was on why no Muslim is saved. Salvation is something that's different from righteousness or religious observations such as the pillars of Islam, Zakat, fasting and prayer, etc. It's like Jesus Christ said to the Samaritan woman: [John 4:22] — "You Samaritans worship what you don’t know. We worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews." Notice it was not just about who they worshiped or prayed to, but about "Salvation." Though by then there was nothing like Muslim or Islam because Muhammad was not yet born till about 500 years later. You can say the same thing about Muslims today who are like those Samaritans, worshiping without knowledge of salvation. Salvation is the Revelation and Grace that is not found in Islam. The Gospel of Salvation is the Revelation of God through the Lord Jesus Christ the Son of God. You need the Savior or Messiah. Quran called Jesus Christ "Messiah" (Savior) but did not give you details of why His role as the Messiah or Savior is important to you and to all men. Why should God send a Messiah, Son of Mary? Why did He come, then returned to heaven, and then will come back again to Judge the world? Why did Mohammad dubiously mentioned the "Titles" and "Special Differences" of Man called Jesus Christ, but denied telling you how your life and salvation will depend on Him? The Jesus Christ came before Muhammad was born, and will return again after Muhammad was long dead and been in hell fire. Even inside your Quran, you were told by Muhammad to listen and read the Bible Books of the Prophets, Psalms and the Gospels of Jesus Christ. So why should you now say those books are not the revelation of God? |
drlateef:That right there, "Not" or "No" is that evil spirit of unbelief inside Muslims. The spirit of unbelief that denied the Son of God, calling Him Messiah son of Mary or prophet of Allah. That same evil spirit of unbelief that denied Jesus Christ was actually killed or crucified, or rose from the dead. That's the same evil spirit of unbelief that deceived Mohammad and millions of hardened Muslims with Qurans, Hadiths, Sunnis, and five pillars of Islam. Why are you people religiously zealous, but lack knowledge and understanding? How are you that are the deceived see us as the deceivers? |
Gaabasky:Well, I am not following Christianity, but following Christ. My goal is not to understand Christianity, but to understand Christ Jesus. To know Him. You trying to understand Christians or Christianity have kept you from coming closer to knowing the Son of God and the power of His Resurrection. I don't know how you saw my way of life to measure the reflection of Jesus Christ in my ways of life, but I will still pray to know Jesus Christ better every day. Philippians 3:10 — "That I may know Him, and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being made conformable to His death;" It will take eternity to fully know the Lord. But I will also say you should do the same and do exactly as you advise me to do. |
BloomingDale:"There" [Deuteronomy 4:28-29] — "And [b]there you shall serve gods, the work of men's hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell. But if from there you shall seek the LORD your God, you shall find Him, if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul." [/b] We do not serve woods or stones in Christianity; neither does a Wooden Cross symbolize Christianity. Granted, there are few sects or groups in Christianity that use Cross, crucifixes, and sculptured images as symbols in their temples. But true Christianity has nothing physical as symbol because Christianity is not a religion but relationship, truth and life, by the Spirit of Christ Jesus. Save your soul by the Savior Himself. His grace is available. |
StreetFight:Though Bible Books has many divers authors or writers, none of them was an European. Europeans only helped in translation of the bible from Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek, into Latin, English and other European and world languages. The Bible was not written by European, and the God of the Bible existed before Europe and Ethiopia (Africa) were born. Heaven is not European. Do not introduced Racism or Tribalism into the matters of God and heaven or Christianity Muslims may not be going about dragging people not to go to hell because they do not even know where they are headed. Have you seen a blind man dragging another blind man not to fall into the same pit they are headed? Nevertheless, I have experienced Muslims calling me from Saudi Arabia and begging me to convert into Islam, promising me some riches or gifts if I convert. The reason Christian Evangelists do drag people not to go to hell fire is not because we want to populate Christianity, but because we are messengers of Salvation sent to help the blind and save the lost. It will be wicked to see someone going into destruction and not tell/warn the person. We Christians are not in competition with any religion for population. Our Goal is to preach and warn you, so that we are sure you are aware or heard the message. Then after hearing, whether you believe or not, is none of our business because we have done our part. But if you have questions or concerns, then bring them up and we will answer your questions and solve your riddles. If you still choose to call White black or deny the Son of God because of one Mohammad that founded Islamic movements, then your are on your own and you shall have no excuse in the final Judgment. Christians do not use guns or physical weapons to intimidate people into their religion. We only use "Words of Power and Grace." We are not even preaching religion, but marketing the Lord and true Savior, Jesus Christ the Son of God and the true God among men. Your being a Muslim that's baptized in three churches, but serving the gods of Ogun, Sango, Obatala, Aiyelala and Esu Odara, shows you are confused. The true God is the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth, and all things therein. He is above Racism, Tribalism or Traditional deities associated with segmented cultures and traditions of your ancestors who were in darkness. Europeans have moved away from idols or traditional/cultural dieties (demons), and whom you referring as European God is actually the God of all the earth including the God of the Arabians. Indeed, God is merciful and gracious. No power is stronger than the Mercy and Grace of God in the Lord Jesus Christ the Son of God and Savior to all men who come to Him. |
BloomingDale:Christianity is not a craft, not craftsmanship and not craftiness. Christianity is Life, Truth and Way, of One Person, Jesus Christ. It's all Him, through Him, with Him, and inside Him. |
drlateef:Are you expecting God to use His Finger to write it Himself visibly for you to read? The Whole Creation is God's Handwriting because they are God's Handiworks. When God writes, He does not just make inscriptions but makes life and movements as living things. It's like God's Writings are Living Epistles, and the Letters immediately come alive as movies, dreams, visions or realities. God's Handwriting are not static like we humans do, but they immediately come alive. So a mere man cannot even read or understanding what God has written Himself, unless by the prophets of God or interpreters. What you see prophets write in scriptures are basically translation of what God wrote but were seen as visions, revelations, inspirations, dreams, signs and wonders, etc. If you were a Christian, I would have directed to see the Book of Revelation 5 and 6, about a Book (Scroll) God wrote, and no man could either take the book from God or open the seals. When Jesus Christ alone did succeed to open that Book God wrote with His Fingers, loosing the 7 seals, the Letters were automatically translating themselves into animation of events happening, e.g, the four horsemen and their impacts on earth, the earthquakes, the famines, etc. I tell you, you cannot stand the Handwriting on the wall written with the Finger of God. God wrote the ten commandments on a tablets of stones, but ordinary men cannot even read or look at the tablets of stones inside the Ark because that would kill them to even touch the Ark containing a set of stones with God's Handwriting. So bros, people have tried and begged Moses to be receiving the messages directly from God and then translate to them because they couldn't receive directly from God. Scriptures (Bible) were written by the inspiration of God but with the hands of men. For you to read and understand at the level of mankind. Was Quran written by Allah? |
