DEMONIC BONDAGE & FREEDOM

The Lord revealed to me that proper spiritual education (biblical and truthful) releases people from bondage, just as a simple peasant is free from his limitations after getting some schooling. Education does it quite naturally. To one water is just water while to another it is H2O and deeper thoughts that follow the creation of gases, which become liquid and the reverse again, etc.

When the natural truth is discovered like Newton's apple, gravity and capacity the old narrow thoughts come out from the prison of ignorance and fly free. Freer and freer… until one becomes so free that the earth can't hold one down anymore.

There is a whirlwind that works the opposite way than gravity does, upwards. So all the above is just a painter's canvas. Here it comes.

THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION

[Excerpt from another blog] How would you like to be yourself conceived of the Holy Spirit and immaculately brought forth? Would this idea attract you? So try to come out from your own skin and imagine that the same Spirit (God) who made physical Adam from dust would deposit into Mary the living embryo called Yeshua (salvation) Jesus. There was no longer any need to create new genetics for these have already existed when God made Adam and Eve... [end of excerpt]. Read more...

It is important to note that without Jesus gentiles would still be in paganism and Jews would be beating on the same Pharisaic dead horse. There would be no Torah Centers and no schools. Jewish development  would be minimal if any. What sparked this new development is the emergence of Christianity.

THE MOST GLORIOUS KNOWLEDGE OF FREEDOM


Perfect love cast out fear (1John 4:18). Fullness of joy means perfect joy (John 15:11). The steadfast of mind You will keep in perfect peace, because he trusts in You (Isaiah 26:3). For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God (Romans 8:19-21).

 [2Corinthians 3:17] Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

[John 8:31-32] So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”

2000 YEARS OF IMBECILITY


May I be so bold as to say that yes, it’s been 2000 years of religious imbecility and I will show you why?

1. Man has filtered spiritual things through the flesh and its limited perceptions; mixing matter with spirit; the result is only religion. A golden calf and invisible God the Spirit don’t mix.

A. God the Spirit (John 4:24) did not make man according to His physical image and likeness (Genesis 1:26) for He has none. That image in Hebrew is TZELEM, which means reflection or something to mirror. In this sense Jesus mirrored the Father; hence a statue of Jesus would not be an image of God, but a semblance of a physical human being. Hence each time Jesus called Himself the Son of Man (Hebrew Ben Adam) He called Himself a human being and this human being laid His life down for us of His own accord (John 10:17-18). Jesus reflected and mirrored the Father that is the reason why He said, "[John 14:9-10] He who has seen Me has seen the Father." "[John 10:30] I and the father are one." (click here) Jesus did what the Father did and said what the Father said and in this He was one with the Father. One Spirit. And although He said that the Father is greater than He (John 14:28) He spoke in His humility and subordination to the will of the Father.

RELIGION ON SALE

FREE FROM RELIGIOUSNESS

Let's start with mercy. Why mercy? Who needs mercy? What does mercy? What is it? Mercy has much to do with compassion; sympathy and empathy, if you know these then you are closer to knowing, but above all, feeling mercy. Mercy can heal. Mercy is an attitude, a standard of being.

Jesus addressed three groups of people: with the Pharisees He spoke quite differently than with His disciples, and differently to the crowds. The Pharisees, Scribes and those well versed in scripture were rather a contentious bunch, so Jesus had often challenged their intelligence and logic. To the masses He spoke in parables and declarations like those in Matthew 5:3-11 the nine beatitudes. The fifth statement was, “Blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain mercy.”

In Hebrew mercy and grace are often portrayed with one word CHESID, which can be translated as loving-kindness. But there are many variations of mercy, grace and compassion. It is worthy of our closer examination for the Jewish mentality was originally shaped not by Greek, but the Hebrew language. Greek was the idolatrous Hellenistic influence on the ex-exiles from Babylon and Medo-Persia. Therefore, Jesus had something else in His mind than what the Greek languages often portrays.

Being familiar with Jewish culture is indeed of great help, for words alone do no justice. The truth is never found in words alone, but rather what they express; and if they do not adequately express what the speaker says the truth can be twisted and even lost.

In Greek this word is ELEEO, which is closer related to compassion and an expression of graciousness. We read in Mathew 14:14 that Jesus was moved with compassion (Greek SPLAGCHNOZOMI) and then He healed the sick. This difficult to preannounce Greek word denotes movement, which connects us with the Book of Acts 17:28, “In Him we live and move and exist.” Anything living moves. In this case Jesus was moved with the healing force, the living and restoring power of God. Could it be that when one is moved with compassion toward a person in need of healing that this compassion is not just a feeling, but rather that because it is a movement then behind that affection there must also be the miraculous healing force life? I’ve been in that situation many times and I have seen this power in operation and the results were indeed miraculous.

In Hebrew God’s presence is associated with His face and His back speaks of being hidden. When His face is turned toward you His back is turned to your enemy; hence the words of David in Psalms 23:5 “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.” This ‘in the presence’ means (Hebrew NEGED) in the sight of your enemy. You sit across the table face to face with God. God never speaks to you from His back just as we do not, but face to face and eye to eye.

The opposite of hate is love, the opposite of war is peace and the opposite of a curse is a blessing. The entire Hebrew Bible is written this way since we at of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil; of right and wrong; positive and negative. There is no escaping from it. We are in the world of light and darkness, but only in God’s mind both were very good; but for some strange reason we declared that darkness is bad and we singled out light as being good. God did not have it in His mind and He made us to be like Him so what’s going on? Perhaps we have gotten hold of religion rather than the Mind of our Creator? – Perhaps it was our interpretation. God said that light was good, but we have concluded that darkness is bad. Later on, after the Babylonian exile, this mentality ruled over people. It was not yet the time to fully reform them; for many of them were not even yet saved, much less born again (John 3). The last reformation is only possible in time of peace and not in time of war. When it comes to religiousness and the knowledge of truth this period God has allotted for the thorough reformation our minds.

But is God split in half? The Bible indeed mentions that God would rather dwell in a thick dark cloud, (1 Kings 8:12) but is this thick dark cloud bad? Isn’t it a fact that light plays the best against the backdrop of darkness as if darkness compliments the light and its multicolored rainbows?

[Genesis 1:3-4] God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness.

There is nothing written about darkness as not being good.

[Verses 10, 12, 17-18, 21, 25 & 31] God called the dry land earth, and the gathering of the waters He called seas; and God saw that it was good.

The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit with seed in them, after their kind; and God saw that it was good.

God placed them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth, and to govern the day and the night, and to separate the light from the darkness; and God saw that it was good.

God created the great sea monsters and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarmed after their kind, and every winged bird after its kind; and God saw that it was good.

God made the beasts of the earth after their kind, and the cattle after their kind, and everything that creeps on the ground after its kind; and God saw that it was good.

God saw all that He had made and behold it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.

EVERYTHING GOD MADE WAS VERY GOOD

So now that we know what was in God’s mind and also in the mind of Jesus whenever He spoke; we come to the conclusion that the contrast or counter-thinking mentality was given to us after the transgression in Eden; correctly so. But shouldn’t we also acquire the mentality that was originally in God and also in Jesus when He walked this earth?

Genesis 6 speaks of the corruption of man, but Jesus came to restore that which has been lost or corrupt. Only physical things can undergo corruption, but never anything spiritual; hence we conclude that it must be the physical elements that corrupt us; but how? Perhaps by falling in love with the corruptible Jesus called the ‘mammon of unrighteousness?’ The root of evil is not money, or the earth, or the physical, but any overbearing affection lavished on just the physical. It is the LOVE of money that brings corruption for in its name mercy plays hardly any role, compassion and grace plays no role at all for economics always wield the upper hand. 

THE NATURE OF DARKNESS

Darkness is nonexistent in heaven; time e.g., ticking minutes and hours, days, weeks, months and years is also nonexistent. Heaven is an instantaneous realm. Truth is the heavenly essence like the air we breathe. Nothing is hidden to God; those who are in heaven know everything in an instant. Only when God pops in for a visit to our earth then the laws of the suspended-in-time material reality begins to play a role. Sometimes God’s holy wrath ignites when man uses the power of will and choice to make zigzags of the straight lines of truth. Zigzags don’t match the straight lines of the heavenly truth. In comparison with the heavenly righteousness any earthly unrighteousness is like a monster only to be slain with the breath of God’s mouth.

[Matthew 7:13-14] Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.

Why the gate is narrow? Is it not for each individual to pass through it? And not an entire indoctrinated or even brainwashed with the demon of religiousness groups of people.

[Acts 13:9-10] But Saul, who was also known as Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, fixed his gaze on him, and said, “You who are full of all deceit and fraud, you son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease to make crooked the straight ways of the Lord?”

The ways of the Lord are always straight, but Cain made them crooked; hence, as the first devil he passed on his genes to those who chose their father’s ways. If they have chosen Cain’s ways they also chose to be devils like the devil their great forefather was. Cain fell in love with the earthly power, dominion, wealth and his own ways—the path of death. Enoch, however, chose life and God took him alive; he chose right.

Also, the way is narrow and straight that leads to life for it is illuminated by God’s truth. In other words, God’s truth illuminates our path so that there is no blindness left in us.

[Mark 4:22] For nothing is hidden, except to be revealed; nor has anything been secret, but that it would come to light.

In this temporary realm, while it lasts, we can hide things in the secrets of darkness, but when it is taken away what will the light of the heavenly truth reveal?

[John 3:19-21] This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil. For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. But he who practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought in God.

We conclude that in the darkness-absent heaven no secret plot could have ever been brought forth. And much less some preposterous notion as to even imagining a Satan’s (Lucifer’s) plot to overthrow the God who made Satan and all subordinated to Him angels. Whoever imagines such things broods in the lowest kind of imbecility man has ever come up with.

[Isaiah 29:15] Woe to those who deeply hide their plans from the LORD, and whose deeds are done in a dark place, and they say, “Who sees us?” or “Who knows us?”

Those who imagine heaven to be like the earth and then mix physical perceptions with the heavenly dimensions know God not, but only assume. This play of assumption is man’s theology—knowledge (collected) about God. Anyone who studies theology enters a world of confusion; labyrinths of nonsense for the pieces do not fit logically or in any other way. Perhaps someone would ask me now to the tune of those who asked Jesus, “Surely You are not greater than our father Abraham?” (John 8:53) “Among those born of women there has not arisen anyone greater than John the Baptist! Yet the one who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he…” (Matthew 11:11). “She came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, something greater than Solomon is here.” (Matthew 12:42) “You are not greater than our father Jacob…” (John 4:12)

Jesus had to play with man’s addiction to greatness, hierarchies, positions, etc., but He Himself said, “Whoever then humbles himself as this child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 18:4).

Some protest against my speaking with divine authority. Would it be better when I am dead and then history would speak only of the dead and of someone whom God raised up for these last days? Would it be easier for you to swallow your pride then? Why do you worship the past and not the present living? Behold here is much more than all the predecessors combined. But who dares to test the verity of these words without trembling at the feet of Him who appointed that someone to reform and make God’s children free during this 21st Century?

Verily I say to you that many of you will be dead and buried while I will continue freeing and reforming those that are God’s seed. I have heard from the Master Himself. He told me that He had no one else to this “dirty” work; and I too was unwilling to do it myself, but He “tricked me; He deceived me” by visiting me and then making a covenant with me from which I can’t ever depart. (In 1977 a band of angels entered my room. In 1984 an angel delivered me from USSR. In 1988 I left my body and went to heaven.) And based on this covenant with God, which includes possible imprisonments and even death the fact remains; I do not belong to myself nor do I have any say-so in this regard.

[Jeremiah 20:7] O LORD, You have deceived me and I was deceived; you have overcome me and prevailed. I have become a laughingstock all day long; everyone mocks me.

THE HEAVENLY MIND OF CHRIST

“Blessed are the peacemakers.” Can it be that ‘cursed are the war-makers?’ “Blessed are the gentle or meek for they shall inherit the earth,” but perhaps cursed are the ruthless and proud for they shall not inherit the earth? In other words their show on this earth will end for only now and temporarily they rule over this present earth, but they will inherit nothing in the future. In other places the Bible clearly states that these shall be burned up and be no more.    

‘Blessed’ means happy, lucky, fortunate, selected and chosen. The extreme opposite of a blessing is a curse, which means misfortune, bitterness and affliction.

“Cursed are the unmerciful for they shall obtain no mercy.” But this negative thing that comes to the unmerciful is not meted out by God, but by the laws that rule His realm. Those who fight with a sword will die from the same. Those that curse only curse themselves. Those that would like to see you in hell… (You’ve got the drift.)

The God in whose mind everything was and still is very good would never deal out to anyone something evil; would He? The punishment of the wicked, of which the Bible often speaks, is not from His loving and gracious hand, but rather from the circumstances man has created on the ground within the natural sphere. ‘What one sows one must reap’ is the law.

A sound advice: you must start treating others, just as you would like them to treat you. A kind word returns a kind word, smile provokes a smile, gracious gesture may provoke the same, but even if it does not; being like God means to see everything as very good. One is the standard of being; for peace overpowers war, joy overpowers sadness and love overpowers hate just as light overpowers darkness.

[Proverbs 15:1-2] A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. The tongue of the wise makes knowledge acceptable, but the mouth of fools spouts folly.

RELIGIOUS FOOLISHNESS

There is a lot of foolishness in religion for it is being controlled by a demon. Upon recognizing the most prevalent signs of religiousness, those unattractive elements of drabness, dullness and backwardness must go if you want to be truly free.

What are the opposites of mercy? There are many. Insensitivities and these come from selfishness. Callousness of heart and the root again is an overblown ego, pride and selfishness. Disdain. Condemnation. Loathing. Hatred. But actually all these traits are not attributes, but rather sicknesses. Like unwelcome guests—into your house, which are your mind, soul, spirit and body—so are those illnesses. These ailments come into your soul the emotional sphere and often express themselves through your mind in words and gestures. Is this world filled with too many sick people?

Let's examine now normality and abnormality.

To be healthy is = normal

To be poor is = abnormal

To have is = normal

To not have is = abnormal

Lack of sleep is = abnormal

Good night rest is = normal

To be hateful, constantly boiling with anger is = abnormal

To be gracious is = normal

To be composed and collected is = normal

To be able to pay bills, travel, have enough food to eat is = normal

To not have money, pay no bills, no money for transport and to be hungry is = abnormal.

Peace is = normal

War is = abnormal

Why would we even want to see wars in heaven, because we see them down below? Why would we want to see even attempts to overthrow a monarch, because too often we see them down below? We know what is normal. We know what’s right and what’s wrong. So why do we choose wrong and make it as if it’s completely normal? Could it be that those unwelcome guests in your soul should not be there at all? When Jesus said to love your enemy would that also include the grossly misunderstood Satan? (Read 2Samuel 1 & 1Chronicles 21:1 and discover how God’s wrath really comes down to earth). And is it possible that all sorts of illnesses in our bodies come from something we have either inherited from our predecessors; via the family gene pool or something we have acquired (through man’s theology) and accepted them as normal?

LET GO OF ANYTHING DEAD - EMBRACE THE LIVING

Religion has shaped our mind, which God seeks to RE-form or UN-shape. Before Babylon no prophet would dare to split God’s Universe into darkness and light and much less seeing them ruled by two opposite gods.

[Isaiah 45] [5] I am the LORD, and there is no other; besides Me there is no God. [6-7] That men may know from the rising to the setting of the sun that there is no one besides Me. I am the LORD, and there is no other, the One forming light and creating darkness, causing well-being and creating calamity; I am the LORD who does all these. [19] I have not spoken in secret, in some dark land. [21] There is no other God besides Me, a righteous God and a Savior; there is none except Me.

The Jewish prophet gave this message to a gentile king. But what was Isaiah proclaiming to King Cyrus? Was it not God’s absolute sovereignty over all of God’s creation? But the old demon of religiousness could not stand it, but cry out in protest. A pagan cannot have one God. A pagan must have a god and an enemy. Certainly, one can read the Bible fishing out all the verses that sustain this kind of theology. But when one goes back to the root of God’s truth (the further back we go the closer we approach the uncontaminated truth) then one begins to be reformed. The demon of religiousness begins to cringe because at the purest living waters when they begin to wash the accumulated grime of the dead unclean demon of religiousness. Therefore God gives people over to what they want and withdraws His light from them and then they suppose that they bathe in light, but in fact they bathe in delusion.

The prophet Elijah said, “O LORD my God, have You also brought calamity to the widow with whom I am staying, by causing her son to die?” (1Kings 17:20) The prophet did not interpret this a rather negative event with his newly acquired theology—which says that everything good comes only from God and anything evil comes from Satan. God had a purpose in all that He was doing.

The widow of Zarephath (of Sidon) did not say, “Now I know that you are a man of God…” when her oil and flower were multiplied, but only after the man of God brought her son back to life (v. 24). Why is it so important to recognize the man of God now, today and in this hour? – The reason is that a missed time of God’s appointed season, which is presently living therefore clean and holy, cannot ever be recovered. Human tendency is to make religion and theology out of something that is long gone and now in the past. The longer it is gone the more it plays on the mind of those stuck in religiosity. Man worships the past and never the presently living reality; and that is because of the pride of this life, self-identity and ego.  

[Hebrews 3:15] Today if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts, as when they provoked Me.

The quoted verse from Psalms 95:7-8 speaks of today and now. Just as Jesus had wept over the people of Jerusalem for they did not recognize the time of God’s visitation (Luke 19:41-44) because they were not present-minded. Anything that dwells in the past deals with the uncleanness of something demonic. Anyone who goes out on the limb into a farfetched world of fantasy the future lives in illusion. But the truth is now, today and it lives. God raises up His servants for today and for the presently living.

If Jesus stood among us today, would anyone recognize Him? If Elijah had appeared in our midst would anyone recognize him? Theologians would search the scriptures finding out if that prophet would fit in the maze of their theological disagreements, and much less the Messiah when He appears. These are they plays of illusion on our mind caused by the demon of religiousness.     

[Luke 24:42] They said to one another, “Were not our hearts burning within us while He was speaking to us on the road, while He was explaining the Scriptures to us?”

CLOUDY & GLOOMY DAY MADE BRIGHT

[Ezekiel 34:11-12] For thus says the Lord GOD, “Behold, I Myself will search for My sheep and seek them out. As a shepherd cares for his herd in the day when he is among his scattered sheep, so I will care for My sheep and will deliver them from all the places to which they were scattered on a cloudy and gloomy day.”

The cloudy and gloomy day is about to become bright. No more fights and no more struggles, which were totally unnecessary in the first place. Like a false messenger that brought bad tidings about an enemies’ imminent attack; so were many of our doctrines. It takes spies that would go and see the real situation on the ground, but why the scouts do their job the people unnecessarily tremble. But even after the spies’ true report it is hard to give up the initially accepted fear; so the spies’ true message may not be heeded. Once the initial but false message had been accepted and fear permitted to dominate feeble hearts; it involves the ticking clock, a waste of precious time in which things can be changed. Fear prevents many of venturing out. Lethargy sometimes prevents many from trusting their reason, which they would rather leave to the “experts” than explore themselves.

[Hebrews 2:14-15] Therefore, since the children share in flesh and blood, He Himself likewise also partook of the same, that through death He might render powerless him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, and might free those who through fear of death were subject to slavery all their lives.

Now, this verse is illuminated with a different light. In this case the author of the Letter to the Hebrews uses the devil for Satan, who brings death. Correlate this now with Exodus 4:11 The LORD said to him, "Who has made man’s mouth? Or who makes him mute or deaf, or seeing or blind? Is it not I, the LORD?" In 1Samuel 2:6 we read, The LORD kills and makes alive He brings down to Sheol and raises up. In Isaiah 45:7 we read, The One forming light and creating darkness, causing well being and creating calamity; I am the LORD who does all these. 

Why don't we like these verses? What's going on? Check if that old pagan root still bothers you. Perhaps you need a dental work done like the root-canal perhaps then you can properly eat and chew God's Word? 

If you must blame someone then you would have to blame God who does these things through different angels. However, theology singled out Satan as the only one doing anything negative and so our predecessors decided to call him the devil (diabolos).  

Christianity evolved from Judaism and the tendency to make God only good, Lovey Daddy, and the devil/Satan only bad; was rooted in pagan worship of imaginary deities whom the pagans always tried to appease and sacrificed to. Fear was the real cause for trying to please their gods and so it overflowed on to Christianity where out of fear of Satan they sweeten up God and bemire Satan. As the saying goes, "the enemy of my enemy is my friend." The result was polytheism narrowed down to just dualism. But it is still paganism and no matter how much we would like to, and even do prove to the former religion (Judaism) that our new religion is better, we would only do that out of fear and out of our own selection. This selection of ours is but our theological god and our own choice as to how we aught to worship this chosen sweet and good with no temperament deity.

Jesus was the only man on earth that introduced God to us as a father—His Father and our Father, His God and our God (Jn. 20:17). His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for a lifetime, (Ps. 30:5).

IF SATAN CASTS OUT SATAN

Out of God’s outbursts of anger people in their minds created another god for it sort of calms their own angry dispositions. And a scapegoat, like Satan, is a convenient way of going about it. 

As already mentioned, unlike paganism Israel was chosen and invited to walk in God’s ways. Pagans chose for themselves gods and worshiped them the way they have imagined them to like or dislike their rituals and offerings. Many religions have kept competing over whose god is better and whose ritual of worship is truer. “We believe in the God of love and not the God of wrath” as if He has to comply with our beliefs and proclamations. In the process we forsake the truth and stray. It is like a man who plans to marry a woman that must look like Marilyn Monroe, who must be a great homemaker, perfect mother of his children and a great cook; otherwise he won’t marry her.

[Mark 3:23-26] And He called them to Himself and began speaking to them in parables, “How can Satan cast out Satan? If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. If a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand. If Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand, but he is finished!”

The purpose here is to open your eyes to something yet not seen; and to open the mind still shrouded in shadows. Satan cannot stand if he had risen against himself, which would be preposterous in logical terms. Jesus tries to stimulate those people’s minds and then ends with saying he is finished. For some inexplicable reason we don’t want him to be finished because many before us have tried to get rid of Satan and make him nonexistent, which would be viewed as “the trick of the enemy” and we “won’t fall for it.” So the perpetual seduction of fear of the unknown plays a trick on our not yet illuminated mind. Instead of studying, examining and understanding, which takes time; we settle for the status quo. 

THE SOWN SEED

As long as there are seasons of sowing and harvesting there will be those who have more and those who have less and some will go bankrupt. One can blame the weather, God or Satan, but blaming should not even be part of our vocabulary but rather aiming. Aim your grievances toward God and tell Him of your troubles in prayer, perhaps He will also remind you about any wrongdoing you might have had hushed up and forgotten? Once there is a complete return to God and His ways, on individual as well as corporate level, things will change. No matter how much both the government and banks try to help you with; certain areas like the dust bowl of central USA will remain unchanged. What changes things is better knowledge. God is the one who gives knowledge but man must be willing to apply it and that takes humility, which God loves.

[Mark 4:13-15] And He said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? How will you understand all the parables? The sower sows the word. These are the ones who are beside the road where the word is sown; and when they hear, immediately Satan comes and takes away the word, which has been sown in them.

According to the already established pattern, which involves God’s wrath, employment of Satan or the devil – Kenite – tare a human being the above statement would not make any sense. Satan is being portrayed here as someone who comes and takes away the sown seed. But, why would Satan want to do that if he is on God’s leash, unless Jesus means opposition(s)? Other seed fell among the thorns, and the thorns came up and choked it, and it yielded no crop or remained fruitless" (Mk. 4:7).

Cain produced tares and these choke up the crop. God’s wrath is not involved, nor Satan, but perhaps the offspring of Cain; hence the devil.

The apparent conflict in terms does confuse. Had it not been for the borrowed from Babylon and Persia beliefs and for the mix that the Hellenistic period brought; we would not see Satan and Diabolos lumped together. There must be a clear separation between pure monotheism and paganism. The subsequent context sheds more light.

Opposition (Mt. 13:30) does the choking. Mark tends to use Satan as the enemy, while Matthew, Luke and John use the devil. Hence, we can’t take the scriptures dogmatically, but with understanding.

Jesus said, Allow both to grow together until the harvest; and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather up the tares (people) and bind them in bundles to burn them up; but gather the wheat (people) into my barn” (Mt. 13:30). The explanation follows in Mt. 13:38-39, And He said, "The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man, and the field is the world; and as for the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom; and the tares are the evil sons; and the enemy who sowed them is the devil, and the harvest is the end of the age; and the reapers are angels."

So Mark uses “Satan” while Matthew uses “the devil” to express the same thing, which was part of their vocabulary in the context of the Greek mentality. In each instance the enemy, which is opposition plays a role and which is the core reason for worries.

THE DEVIL & HIS ANGELS

The enemy is people that oppose the sons of the kingdom. So we see sons of disobedience coming against the sons of obedience; those who hate and those who love; the bad and the good. Satan has nothing to do with this unless he is used as an idiom for opposition, which Jesus and later Paul also used.

[Matthew 25:41] Then He will also say to those on His left, “Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the *devil and his angels.” – *Cain and his kind.

The tares will be burned up and that is their destiny. Jesus speaks about the fruit of kindness and the separation between those who are kind and those who are not. He separates tares from the wheat and the eternal fire (instant annihilation) speaks of destruction, after the tares fulfilled their mission on earth. Only His sown and cultivated seed will inherit the kingdom.

Jesus had to navigate in this jungle of ideas and pagan influences that have shaped people’s imaginations for more than 600 years. In order to make someone understand you have to borrow not only their vocabulary but also their common beliefs and use metaphors. The great storyteller used parables to plant the seed of Truth in His followers. This seed brought fruit today.

GET BEHIND ME SATAN

[Matthew 16:23] But He turned and said to Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to Me; for you are not setting your mind on God’s interests, but man’s.”

Bluntly in Peter’s face Jesus said that his mind is not set on God’s interests but man’s and that is in contrast to John 10:18 where Jesus states that ‘He lays His life down of His own accord in obedience to the Father’s commandment.’ Peter had no clue that the mind of his Master was tied to the Father’s; and Jesus viewed Peter’s words as if attempting to change His mind. And this was another temptation and another test, which Jesus resisted.

THE FALL OF SATAN

Point 6 speaks of the fall of Satan from which St. Augustine contrived his theology of the supposedly fallen Lucifer.

[Luke 10:18-20] And He said to them, “I was watching Satan fall from heaven like lightning. Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will injure you. Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are recorded in heaven.”

When God sent Satan to Job, fire of God fell from heaven and burned up the sheep and the servants and consumed them… (Job 1:16). Obviously fire and lightning portrays God’s wrath in the natural world. In the case of Korah (Nb. 16:23-35) Fire also came forth from the LORD and consumed the two hundred and fifty men who were offering the incense. There are many more depictions of fire in the Bible and each instance speaks of God’s wrath, or rather that of His holy garments.

From Sodom and Gomorrah to prophet Elijah God’s fiery wrath falls and consumes. In Luke 10:18 Jesus saw Satan fall from heaven like lightening which is fire. As frightening as that may appear Jesus continues saying that this is not as important as having our names recorded in heaven. The mystified evil is also not important because it is not in heaven, but on the ground and like serpents and scorpions these can be walked over and crushed. In fact, when I fasted in the places between Jerusalem and Jericho I slept in clefts and caves and woke up to scorpions around me, which I smashed with one blow. I also killed snakes.

If Satan, with his supposedly subordinate army of angels, is expelled from heaven and my name is recorded in it; than heaven is not a realm of the perfect love and perfect peace, but of the earthly fear. These strange ideas others passed down to us and like fools many of us embraced them as Scripture. One of those fools was I, but I went into the Scripture and found something else. Since I have been reformed and since then God’s presence became ever so more wonderful, yet this presence I cannot sell to you, except this book. I do not provoke God to wrath with my error filled imaginations about Him and His kingdom. I am at peace with Him and He is at peace with me and that’s the true aim of the last reformation.

The ancient world worshiped images and through them imagined the spirit world and this was the case with the returning seventy disciples, which eventually stopped following Jesus. 

When God’s wrath falls, fire falls also, but that can be observed only in the natural world. As already stated, the angels of the SERAPHIM rank look like flames. Satan is not a cherub, but a seraph. But the anchor remains strong: without the will of the Almighty Satan cannot fall, war or do anything.

SATAN OR BEELZEBUL

We have touched on this earlier. Jesus starts His sentence with conjunction provoking those people to think. Satan is not a king nor does he have his own kingdom; therefore Satan is not divided, but subordinated to one God and one kingdom.

[Luke 11:18] If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul.

People can be kings and have kingdoms therefore a Kenite (the devil) can be an earthly ruler. Baal and Satan and are not related, neither are demons related to Beelzebul for demons are dead past lives, which witchcraft and spiritism plays with; some are only unclean and some besides already being unclean are also violently evil. Multiply these devils in a presently living person and the strength of these souls is also multiplied and such was the Gerasene man.

DAUGHTER OF ABRAHAM

This is quite interesting. Jesus recognized that the woman was indeed from Abraham’s lineage and He saw God’s compassion on her. God was about to release her even on His own Sabbath day.

[Luke 13:16] And this woman, a daughter of Abraham as she is, whom Satan has bound for eighteen long years, should she not have been released from this bond on the Sabbath day?

Since Jesus was introducing to us the loving heavenly Father He permitted Satan to represent something negative, but only for the first phase. Jesus came to die and rise again; after Him came the second phase of evangelizing the world. Now, we have entered the third phase in which we must reevaluate those loose pieces and sew a quilt from them so that we might cover ourselves with the Truth and rest in God’s sovereignty and His peace.

The heart of God is love, but His garments are fiery, acting as protecting walls against anything vile coming His way. God’s spirit of life resides in all of us thus connecting us to God and His world of oneness. The way we must use the power of the spirit of life is only for peace and blessing and not war and suffering for these things flare up His holy garments. What that woman’s ancestors have committed we do not know, but God visits the iniquities of the fathers to the third and fourth (crossroads & changes) generations (Ex. 20:5) and in the fifth comes His grace. If that grace is not being utilized, but the root of evil perpetuates and even blossoms bearing evil fruits; in the sixth generation can come destruction and even life’s termination. Whoever survives such calamity is lucky enough to perhaps turn away from evil otherwise in the seventh generation all debtors must go free. This law (Hebrew, shmittah) applies to people and the land they cultivate. God counts seven times seven and in the fiftieth year is the year of jubilee where all culprits, debtors and sinners are released. God loves peace so much that He must arrest and calm down the fluster of His holy garments with the Sabbath peace otherwise the earth would not endure.

The earth is very volatile and the distances between planets speak of a delicate balance. The tilting of our planet and the lengthening or shortening of the earth’s orbit can either burn it up or freeze it; so it is with our God. Life is fragile and it ought to be handled with care. If someone has a hard time accepting this then perhaps he or she tries to play a god? But any subjective interpretations have nothing to do with the Supreme God. Once you fathom God you will fear Him and let Him have His own perfect way, but at the same time He comes very near to you, melts your heart, squeezes tears out of your eyes and celebrates life with you. Oh what a wonderful fellowship that is, which I am privileged to enjoy.

RETURN TO ME

Man’s vicissitudes, bottled up dislikes and nerve-racking whims come from not knowing the way of peace. These are the vestiges of God’s wrath for with the wrathful He is wrathful. David knew of this so well that this particular characteristics of God appear twice - in the Book of Samuel 22:26-27 and in Psalms 18:25-26. It was important to David’s mentor Samuel so the king was well trained in the laws of actions provoking reactions.

God says, Return to Me,” declares the LORD of hosts, “that I may return to you,” says the LORD of hosts (Zech. 1:3). God is always there and everywhere, but there are mechanisms that invoke His presence in our lives and that period was when Jesus came releasing the captives from God’s wrath. He watched the Father who gave His Son a sign to heal the bend-over lady even though it was the Sabbath. Just as Satan left the high priest Joshua (Zec. 3:1) after Joshua repented and was cleansed; Satan left the daughter of Abraham when Jesus released her from any effects of God’s wrath. Jesus was celebrated because when He opened Isaiah 61 in Nazareth’s Synagogue He declared the Year of Jubilee a time of complete release from all obligations.

SATAN ENTERS JUDAS

Without God’s permission Jesus could not do anything and without Jesus’ permission Satan could not act. This is the world of oneness and perfect agreement. Our world is fragmented because of the fragmented matter and individualism. 
 
[Luke 22:3] And Satan entered into Judas who was called Iscariot, belonging to the number of the twelve.

Satan received permission and the sign of that permit was the morsel, which Jesus dipped and gave it to Judas. Because we have rather emotional issues with Satan, we tend to avoid addressing something we do not like, but right there we find the release from our bondage. The Satan of Balaam (Nb. 22) spoke through the mouth of a donkey so we can imagine that he entered the animal. Then he stood with a drawn sword in hand and Balaam could see him. Obviously, God is God and He does what He wishes. Judas was chosen to do the dirty job a son of perdition (Greek word, apoleia from the mythological god Apollyon a god of destruction. Hebrew, Abaddon, utter destruction) which means that God’s fire will completely annihilate Judas and he won’t exist in neither world. Of course Judas will not even have any consciousness of ever existing. That’s the power of God. He does what He wants and uses whomever He will for He raises up and He brings down. It is hard for us to swallow this truth but Jesus already said, He who has found his life will lose it, and he who has lost his life for My sake will find it (Mt. 10:39).

SATAN SIFTS PETER LIKE WHEAT

For those who are very much attached to their lives and just this physical domain would have a hard time accepting this verse, which specifically states that Satan received permission (original text) to sift Peter like wheat.  

[Luke 22:31-32] Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has demanded permission to sift you like wheat; but I have prayed for you, that your faith may not fail; and you, when once you have turned again, strengthen your brothers.

How we feel about this verse and how we might interpret it—in our humanistic way—is beside the point. The translated text reads (NASB), Satan has demanded permission. KJV translates this verse as, Satan hath desired (Greek, exaiteomai, which means asking for permission). There was an accord between the Father and the Son regarding Peter and his impetuous temperament, which would only get in a way as to what was planned for Peter. For this reason Satan was assigned to Peter to sift the disciple. Jesus did not pray that Peter would be spared from this sifting, but rather that he might endure it and emerge victorious and then strengthen his brothers. It sounds as if Jesus wanted it and the employment of Satan explains His intentions. So what’s going on here? This completely changes our views regarding Satan being our enemy. Enemy? – Yes, when we take into account our feelings; but when we use our educated head we might conclude otherwise. Our soul screams “enemy!” Our mind says, “but why?” The second is better because when we ask someone we sort of submit ourselves to the giver of that answer, make ourselves hollow like a vessel and then this vessel is ready to be filled. That is my practice in pondering on the mysteries of God and His kingdom.  

The positive outcome of Peter’s sifting cannot be overlooked here. Despite any animosity voiced against Satan; as a subordinate-to-God angel he only did what he was told. Peter emerged victorious and he did strengthen his brothers. Mission accomplished.

THE DEVIL - QUICK REFORMATION

We have already explained the devil in these passages of scripture:

1.    Matthew 4:1, 5, 8, 11 – 40-day fast of Jesus
2.    Matthew 13:39 – The field, tares and the seed
3.    Matthew 25:41 Eternal fire for the devil and his angels 
4.    Luke 4:2-3, 6, 13 – Temptation and test of Christ 
5.    Luke 8:12 – The sower and the seed
6.    John 8:44 – The first devil, murderer and liar - Cain 
7.    John 13:2 – The devil and Judas Iscariot 

Now, what remains are few final touches.

  • In point 1 Satan tests Jesus in Scripture, the devil (physical human being) tempts Jesus with riches and with the world’s temporary glory.
  • In point 2 Jesus explains the role of the field, which houses the tares and the wheat, grain or corn (one and the same meaning - cultivated). The tares have life in them, but the outcome is negative - choking the seed. The seed has also life but it feeds people; these are God’s sons He identifies with; and as it is written in John 15:1-2 God is the vinedresser and He prunes them as branches so that they would become even more fruitful. This sort of disciplining may be unpleasant to the branch, but the outcome can be glorious. In the same way the seed is used for bread, for prosperity and for sowing again - three parts. However, tares are viewed as part of a curse; first on Adam's and then also Cain’s account - no good. Yet, as the record shows through Adam came redemption but not through Cain.
  • In point 3 Cain is the devil and his descendants who walk in his shoes are his devils, for they kill, destroy, steal and lie in many forms. Today this kind of a Kenite is being curbed with laws, but had it not been for strong laws these tares would be at each other’s throats. And that’s what is going to happen when the restrainers of God’s wrath have left this planet. Look at the prisons which have already reached capacity; and many more prisons have to be built to house the tares; among which are also those who have been falsely accused. 
  • In point 4 Luke portrays Christ’s temptation and the wilderness ordeals.
  • In point 5 we have again the parable of the sower of seed where worries of this life and oppositions choke up the seed so that it remains fruitless.
  • In point 6 John clearly portrays Cain as the first murderer and liar and this verse perfectly ties in with the point 3. We are all like trees having roots-past, trunk-present and crown-future. Either we walk in the sins of our forefathers or we repent and get fundamentally changed. 
  • In point 7 John portrays Judas as a Kenite, because of his greed and complete oblivion regarding spiritual things. What matters to a Kenite is the gratification of self, desire for riches obtained through any means and pompous pride. The devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to betray Him (…) Obviously, Jesus knew them well; who they were; where they come from and where they would go. Jesus saw the material He could work with. About Nathaniel Jesus said “An Israelite in whom there is no deceit” (Jn. 1:45-47). He called Levi (Mk. 2:14) the tool collector who was not attached to the money he handled. Zaccheus (Lk. 19:1-27) was not asked to sell everything and give it to the poor and then follow Jesus, but the young rich ruler He did ask, but the young man could not part with that which he was deeply attached to (Mt. 19:21-22). Either money possesses you or you possess the money.
Judas was possessed with greed to the point of being willing to betray innocent blood, but he was hesitant. Jesus hastened His betrayal by letting Satan into Judas the devil (Jn. 6:70) and here the confusion of terms stops.

NEPHILIM, ANAKIM & REPHAIM

[Genesis 6:3-4] Then the LORD said, “My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, because he also is flesh; nevertheless his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.” The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.

Abba
Abba’s song “I believe in angels something good in everything I see” says it all. People believe in angels just as they believe in the good in themselves. People’s subconscious clinging to the good is unmistakable. People want to believe in something that makes them feel secure. For an inexplicable reason some want to destabilize this notion of angels being good, but are they? Angels are nether good nor bad, they are the way God made them without the free will, which requires a physical body, time and locale. God is God. Angels are angels. The question of good and bad is only an earthly matter.

You may go into many conspiracy theories and agree with those who propagate one thing over another, but the root-truth is that humanity tries to hold on the last bastion of security, which someone tries very hard to destroy. Christianity exploded to the scene because of the promises of eternal life after death. Look at the cemeteries so many graves have statutes of guardian angels. People die in peace with the assurance of being saved, going to heaven and the resurrection from the dead. Yet, someone took an enormous amount of time trying to pollute this realm of perfect peace and perfect love with Lucifer's supposed rebellion and fallen angels that taught man to sin. As if this earth is not big enough to hold human evils man had to reach also for the heavens.

I tend to believe that there is a divine intervention happening now. He does not want to loose you. He loves you and He wants you back!

The Nephilim were before the flood and afterwards. They were submissive and humble, as the angels, which God made.

 GENTLE GIANTS

Giant skeletons found in many parts of the world
When disputes and wars broke out between tribes; people used giants to be their captains just to frighten an opponent. Yes, the biblical record points in that direction; people had taken advantage of those gentle giants. I have also realized something quite interesting: giants didn't seem to be too bright, but they had more of the spiritual qualities like healing abilities; hence the word Rephaim, which comes from the word ROPHE (Hebrew for a medical doctor or healer). However, as the Eden story in Genesis 3 shows it to be God did not want Adam to remain uneducated and unintelligent. We can only learn from contrasts.

THE POWER OF EDUCATION

God educated Cain. From the time of Seth through his son Enosh people started to call on the LORD's name YHVH, but studies came later, through Abraham. But that was not yet too lofty. Only from Abraham's grandson Jacob, and after Israel were released from the Egyptian bondage that the proper education had a start.

To God's delight the 40 years of wilderness experience was set aside for education. 2000 years later Jesus goaded the Jews to gain knowledge, which started after 70 A. D. and which continues on to this day. However, Christianity exalts faith to the point of creating a blind belief as if that belief is something almost magical. Sacraments, rituals and liturgies, confessions; and to a great extent symbolism; started to play a dominant role in the church rather than education.

Jews formed schools and prized education above anything else; they prospered both intellectually as well as in business; were persecuted and often expelled.

CONTRASTS

Contrasts play major role in this as Jews went their own way and Christians developed their own form of theology. These two divergent theologies (although Judaism does not have an official theology per se) contrast each other; and to certain extent also rival. But that is exactly what God wanted.        

As in the example of Goliath the Bible suggests that he most probably was one of those amazing beings. Goliath’s brother Lahmi (account found in 1Chronicles 20:4-8) was also easily killed by Elhanan, as well as another descendant of Giants by the name Sippai he was killed by Sibbecai, an Israelite.  

Only with a cleansed mind you will be able to understand this. The giants were not evil for their mission was not to war, to destroy and bring to death, but rather the opposite, to stimulate the progress on earth. Please follow the Word of God that calls them in Genesis 6:4 the sons of God, they most likely were corrupted by the other non-Adamic tribes.

Since Genesis 15:19-20 states that the Kenite root was also found in the Rephaim. It becomes increasingly clear that the giants came to be through the clash of those two seeds. The Adamic seed (those that still remained true to their ancestral line) was slowly crossed with the seed of Cain; and with the non-Adamic seed of which the Bible does not speak about. Let us see now those mixes.

1. Eve brought forth the fruit (son) of disobedience Cain.
2. Eve brought forth Abel then Seth. Adam was not cursed directly as Nechash or Eve was, but only the ground was cursed BECAUSE of Adam’s sin. (Genesis 3:17-19) From this line come Abraham, Jacob, Judah, David and Jesus.
3. Cain is mixed with non-Adamic tribes, which already existed and most likely evolved from earlier forms of life that God created before ‘TOHU V'VOHU’—chaos of Genesis 1. (When we carefully read Genesis 1 we see that FIRST heaven was already created, in the first statement of the Bible.
4. Then the chaotic was set into order, in other words, was separated and placed in its own category: light governed the day, and darkness the night, great waters below governed the seas and waters above the sky etc.
5. In Genesis 1:26 God creates the spiritual human Adam and Eve as one soul.
6. In Genesis 2:7 out of the ground God fashions the physical human being.
7. The physical Adam was split into two. Eve became the other physical being. This is the reason for cleaving to each other because originally and spiritually they were one.
8. Now we see that spiritual properties were also distributed among all peoples just as God Himself planned. This plan we now investigate. No one knows who is who; only God Himself does. By their fruits you shall know them (Mat. 7:16-20). Sons of God—offspring of Cain and Seth—mixed with other peoples, this mix resulted in the birth of giants. (Note the fact that not all were gigantic.)
9. Intermarriage continued. Primarily the biblical account deals with one genealogical lineage. The Bible presents us then with Noah’s descendants just to show that God WATCHES OVER THE PATRIMONIAL LINES. Abraham was also mixed, but the PREDOMINANT LINE was the Adamic one. Then we have the formation of God’s chosen people.

Conclusion. All have the possibility to be righteous. This righteousness God watches over and then decides how to deal with us. He may choose you if you choose Him.        

GIANTS' INBREEDING & ANGELIC LIKE QUALITIES

The giants remained as giants, but because of inbreeding they gradually were vanquished and disappeared. The sons of God were of a normal stature, but when they entered the non-Adamic earthly women the result was not the same. The Adamic - angelic lines acted differently in each instance. Since angels in heaven have different sizes and appearances it is only logical to deduce that angelic genes, which passed on to Adam later on appeared in the offspring intermixed with the non-Adamic tribes. Among them most likely were people with other qualities than size.

It is not hard to imagine that all intellect, vision, artistic and all qualities of revelation were also very evident in those beings. (In heaven angels appear in different sizes, some have one pair of wings, others have three pairs. Some are very tall others human-like. Each angel has a specific function and so they are dressed according to each function. Some have long hair some have short; some have blond hair others brown and black.

Once the primitive tribes were mixed with the Adamic race, music, architecture, inventions of sorts and most likely writing had their start. After Cain settled the land of Nod we have the appearance of arts and the creation of bronze and iron tools, which were also formed into weapons.
 
[Genesis 4:21-22] His brother’s name was Jubal; he was the father of all those who play the lyre and pipe. As for Zillah, she also gave birth to Tubal-cain, the forger of all implements of bronze and iron…

Angels are the messengers of God’s wisdom, knowledge, beauty and the like. Angels transmit inspiration, they are worshipers, helpers, servants, and bearers of good news.   

It was through Abraham that all nations were going to be blessed. Abraham knew his kind and his God hearing abilities were obvious.

Whenever power and rulership is involved the evil nature kicks in. People who were told to multiply and subdue the earth did exactly that, but big families had naturally more influence over the smaller ones. These families became clans and tribes and then nations with their own traditions and cultures. Once this happened tribal wars were frequent. This bitter opposition and bitter strive drove the ancients to bloody confrontations in which they used giants.

A giant, whom I call ‘Adam-Malach’ a ‘Human-Angel’, was not meant for war, but to bring divine knowledge to earth.

[Romans 8:14, 19-21] For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God.

In Carnac France, among the uniformly set up immense granite stones, we find a site suggesting that the round stone structure might once had been an astronomical observatory. It is not a mystery to me since I love the Bible I see that the ‘Anashim-Malachim’ (People-Angels) were there too. On the ‘Golan Highs’ we find enormous stone structures some scholars assumed them to be some ancient altars, but how these stones were elevated and transported into position remains a mystery. Enormous foundational stones weighing hundreds of tons were used in the building of Solomon’s temple. Obelisks weighing thousands of tons were used in building the Baalbek Temples in Beqaa Valley in today’s Lebanon.

According to Estfan Doweihi, the Maronite Patriarch of Lebanon: ‘Tradition states that the fortress of Baalbek... is the most ancient building in the world. Cain, the son of Adam, built it in the year 133 of the creation, during a fit of raving madness. He gave it the name of his son Enoch and peopled it with giants who were punished for their iniquities by the flood.’ (Source: A.F. Alford, 'The Phoenix Solution', 1998, Hodder & Stoughton.)

That’s just an old tradition, but as all legends and traditions contain specks of truth and grains of false understanding so also is the case here. Flood came not because of giant’s evildoing but rather because of the evildoing of earth’s entire population. That Cain came back and settled Canaan is a biblical fact; and that the king Og of Bashan was a giant we know also for the biblical text shows it to be so. We also know that Hiram of Phoenicia built Solomon’s temple. Several massive stones bolster the Temple mount; they are estimated to weigh around 500 tons each. They were discovered during the excavations along the Western Wall.

When we tie all these loose ends we conclude that giants were most ingenious, with angelic like qualities and most likely they knew the laws of levitation and were able to manipulate gravity and could reverse it. The qualities were Adam’s and his children until they joined other peoples.    

As a point of interest let me bring some estimates of the stones that were used in the building of those enormous structures. The three foundation blocks ‘The trilithon’ in Beqaa Valley in the nearby Baalbek temple have the following dimensions: The largest is 65 feet in length, the second 64 feet and 10 inches; and the third 63 feet and 2 inches. They are all 14 feet and 6 inches in height, and 12 feet in thickness. Each block is therefore 350 cubic yards and they are estimated to weigh 750 - 1,000 tons each.

Noah found favor in God’s eyes. Let’s say on the scale of one to ten Noah was six percent righteous and instructed his family in the same, while according to the same scale the rest of the world did not measure up. There was simply too much evil in the world and this was the imbalance. The seed of Cain unfavorably tilted the scales in the direction of the tares and forced God’s hand.

Out of Noah, his wife his sons and daughters-in-law God initiated a new breed of people, the people that contained three lines and one was predominant; hence also the determining factor in our planet’s survival.

Today, if Kenites (weeds) had their way they would choke up the righteous seed, oppress and enslave. God hates oppression and slavery. The unrighteous, greedy, violent and the selfish dies from the self-inflicted wound anyway; while it is the meek (the gentle) that inherits the earth (Matthew 5:5). 

In a long run the righteous wins and in the short run the unrighteous seems to prosper, but his days are painstakingly numbered. The tares' mission is limited only to this earth. After the Great Judgment Day—the harvest—they are burned up and shall be no more or will serve as a fertilizer for the filed that revitalizes the seed’s production (Mat. 13:30).

HUMAN DEVELOPMENT

Our development in the area of science, technology, astronomy, magnetic fields, medicine etc, would not have any start without the Spirit of God passed on to us through the Adamic race and subsequently through the ‘Anashim-Malachim’. The giants were here before the flood and afterwards. Mind the fact that they escaped destruction, but did they? The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward… (Gen. 6:4). Apparently they had their own means of transportation we do not know about. But if we take into account genes then their genes existed in the members of Noah’s family and had appeared again.

Angels are also preachers of good or bad news (Malach also means messenger). Angels REPRESENT THE LORD and they are as the Lord Himself; for the Lord does not have an image or a body to behold so before the time of Jesus the heavenly Father appeared through an angel.

In Judges 6:12-14 we read about an angel who spoke with Gideon and Gideon called Him the Lord. (14) The Lord looked at him and said, “Go in this your strength and deliver Israel from the hand of Midian. Have I not sent you?” The Lord did not speak much and did not answer Gideon’s specific questions, but commanded him to go and deliver Israel from the hand of the Midian. In Judges 6:20-23 the angel—the Lord speaks again and performs a sign, then in the next verse he vanishes and frightened Gideon cries. Alas, o Lord God! For now I have seen the angel of the Lord face to face. And the Lord said to him, “Peace to you, do not fear; you shall not die.” Gideon sees an angel, but the angel does not speak, but the Lord.

The Lord also can speak to and through a human as long as that human identifies his or her lineage with the angelic Adamic line; otherwise God would be speaking to some evolved animal.

After the angel’s visit Gideon’s ears were opened and after the angel went away Gideon could still directly communicate with the Lord.

In Judges 13:6 we read about a man whose appearance was as the appearance of the angel of God, very awesome. This messenger announced the conception of Samson and commanded the woman to abstain from wine, strong drink or any unclean food. In verse 13 the angel said, “Let the woman pay attention to all that I said.”

The power is secreted in a detail. Since angels are, and MUST be detail-oriented, otherwise they could not be used of God at all; they really have no other choice but to say what God says. (I think that they do not use will for they have none, they are like a recording of God's will, which they play out to those on earth.)  It is easy for angels to obey for they dwell in the time-less sphere. God, all at once, installs His own program with all details and they are made plain. We had to wait for the computer age to understand it all. (Do I whet your appetite to become like an angel again?) The moment we sharpen our obedience to maximum, God will speak and visit us for we shall be ready to do His bidding.

Finally, in order to emphasize my point, I want to turn back to the Book of Judges, but this time to the beginning of chapter 2. Now the angel of the Lord came up from Gilgal to Bochim and he said, “I brought you up out of Egypt and led you into the land which I have sworn to your fathers…” An angel comes and says, “I have brought you up…” Did this particular angel do this or was it the Lord Himself? Jesus also said that if you accept those that He sends you accept not them but Him. Do you see this oneness? Jesus of His own accord does not send anyone, but it is the Father (Jn. 5:19). No wonder that all angels are often translated as messengers, angelic or human. But is a human really a human the way we have been taught?

You can access the animal in you or you can access the angel in you therefore this segment is dedicated to do just that; to awake your spiritual senses; just as He has awakened mine.

[Malachi 2:7] For the lips of a priest, should preserve knowledge and men should seek instruction from his mouth for he is the MESSENGER (ANGEL) of the Lord of hosts.

Most teachers of righteousness are as God’s angels and therefore should be treated as such. Jesus went as far as stating 'they are gods' (Jn. 10:34) provided they hear God’s voice and obey; thus they are subject to the one God and are also one with God.
   
GENETICS

When one interacts with the unusual, one pays attention to details. Thus, some were called Anakim, people with long necks. The Rephaim were known as shadowy figures. The Emim provoked fear, so their names were equated with horror and terror. The name Zamzumim referred to tribes that made noise; they were perceived as evil and frightful.

When God sent spies to Canaan, upon seeing the giants, some of them trembled in fright. Joshua and Caleb, however, were not afraid. They seemed to be quite amused, for the fear of the Almighty God was already upon all the inhabitants of the land. Joshua and Caleb did not perceive the giants to be evil or aggressive. That perception was in the other spies’ heads. Both Joshua and Caleb had a different spirit, which usually attaches itself to an unusual gene (Numbers 14:24). Genes act like tent pegs holding down the genetic makeup/tent. Great spiritual legacy can be created right now through this knowledge.

With Dr. Lahn’s permission (a geneticist at the University of Chicago) I’d like to emphasize some aspects of his research. Dr. Lahn worked with the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research to construct a novel theory about the origins of the Y chromosome, which is widely used today to determine ancestry. Lahn’s paper on the recent evolution of the human brain asserts that new versions of two genes are currently spreading through the human population, and that these genes are more prevalent in some geographic regions than others. He has speculated that these genes may be linked to brain size and intelligence and wonders if the mutations—one of which took place roughly 40,000 years ago, the other, 5,800 years ago—correlate with the development of art, written language, and the founding of cities. And he stepped on more than a few toes when he noted that, geographically speaking, these changes had occurred pretty much everywhere except sub-Saharan Africa.

Dr. Lahn examined the DNA of 1,184 people around the world, although not in racially mixed areas like North America, Russia, and Australia. He estimated that one undamaged variation, microcephalin haplogroup D (V1), first appeared around 40,000 BCE and has since spread to about 70 percent of humans. A second variant of the gene, abnormal spindle-like microcephaly, associated haplo group D (V2), arrived more recently, around 6,000 BCE, and has since spread to 30 percent of humans. It is most common in Europe and the Middle East.

I call the abnormal gene “unusual” or “unique,” for it arose at the same time the great mix also occurred when God’s new creation and its genetic pool collided with people of a completely different genetic makeup.

TWELVE FINGERS & TWELVE TOES

Mind another fact, in the Bible—in every place where a giant appears like Goliath, Lahmi his brother, a man with 12 fingers and 12 toes, king Og of Bashan and others—the Israelites quite easily defeated them. We are dealing with different genes that clashed sometimes producing strange things.

In the past, while my mind was still filled with the devil consciousness I have imagined them to be the devil’s seed. I was influenced by the sensational wild imaginations of those who believed that Satan copulated with Eve and from this union came Cain and from him fleshly devils. If that were so then Eve lied with an animal (cattle). Again, if that were so then Cain was part a reptile. And again, if that were so then his wife in Nod was also strange looking… and the endless line of speculations gets weirder with time. For some it is easier to believe in anything grotesque than the truth. It is easier to accept an alien invasion on earth and their supposed creation of humans than God the Spirit and His angels. Why our minds so often drift away from the Truth is because of our ancestry, which unless we part with through repentance will only drag us deeper into the mystical and unexplained.

The man with 12 fingers and 12 toes seemed to be the only one of his kind. My mother, a hospital head nurse, witnessed several births where women gave birth to inhuman looking monsters. The doctors quickly disposed of these grotesque looking babies and hushed it all up. I will never forget what my mother told me. As we were going through villages and towns delivering court orders to people suspected of coming in contact or being already infected with venereal diseases; she told me about their source, of which the doctors knew well. It is known that the Canaanites, among many other perversions had also practiced bestiality. Venereal diseases can be traced back to pre-Israelite peoples of Canaan.

When Joshua and Caleb crossed over Jordan they quickly disposed of several giants. In Kiriath-arba (Hebron) Now, the name of Hebron was formerly Kiriath-arba for Arba was the greatest man among the Anakim. Then the land had rest from war (Joshua 14:15).

All giants, Nephilim, Anakim and Rephaim easily fell before Israel. They have built enormous structures and very high and thick impregnable wall. Now, we can choose to believe that they were the offspring of some aliens or an offspring of Cain and Seth after the clash of different genes. Genetic mutations and variations have much to do with the appearance of twelve fingers and toes. Additionally, there is no biblical depiction of any incredible violence or ruthlessness of those giants. The more we study the Bible the more we see that they were unusual and very special gigantic people. Once you choose to think that indeed they came to be the result of a genomic clash; you will rest. Many of us carry giants’ properties, but we have prejudiced ourselves against them by constantly imagining that they appeared as a result of union between “the fallen angels” with human women. Yet, Jesus said that after resurrection we shall be like angels and we won’t marry. Thus our bodies will no longer be fleshly but indeed celestial.

[Luke 20:34-36] And Jesus said to them, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage, but those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage; for they cannot even die anymore, because they are like angels, and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.
 
The sons of God can’t marry nor produce physical offspring. And just as we see that in Luke 3:38 Adam is called God’s son then his sons were also. In the same way as Jesus said to Mary after He rose from the dead he said, Jesus said to her, “Stop clinging to Me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, ‘I ascend to My Father and your Father, and My God and your God (Jn. 20:17). “My brothers and My siblings…” These were the only words Jesus spoke—after He rose from the dead—in reference to us being His brothers, a term that encompasses all genders for in Christ genders no longer play any role (Gal. 3:28). Only after resurrection, after the price was paid through the released power of redemption we have been adopted back as God’s children.

[1John 3:1-3] See how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we would be called children of God; and such we are. For this reason the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we will be. We know that when He appears, we will be like Him, because we will see Him just as He is. And everyone who has this hope fixed on Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.

As the spiritual Adam came down from heaven and God made fresh new genes from the ground (a figure of speech) so also his heavenly genes were passed on to subsequent (mixed) generations. The Bible traces that gene and so should we also, but it is not the natural element we are after but the spiritual one. Anything physical only identifies something spiritual.

ANGELIC FEATURES

Prophet Ezekiel in chapter 10 verses 8 speaks of Cherubim with hands under their wings that had the FORM OF A HUMAN HAND. Logically, for the reader’s sake, the prophet suggests that he saw other hands, which did not resemble human ones. Ezekiel also saw wheels and other things, which he was not able to explain in human terms.

In Isaiah 6:2 the prophet sees angels with six wings. With one pair they covered their face, another pair their feet and the third pair of wings they used to fly.

Why were the giants easily defeated? My answer is simple: just as the Philistines used Goliath as their champion to frighten the Israelites so the Canaanites did the same. It written portrayal of giants implies that the normal-sized people used giants to their advantage.

[1Samuel 17:10-11] Again the Philistine said, “I defy the ranks of Israel this day; give me a man that we may fight together.” When Saul and all Israel heard these words of the Philistine, they were dismayed and greatly afraid.

The Philistines gathered their armies for battle and then they used Goliath only to frighten Saul and his army and thus subjugate Israel through fear. Fear is an old tactic, but David did not buy it. God’s finger was on David and he knew better. From David’s example we can learn much; why was he not dismayed and greatly afraid as Saul was?

[Numbers 14:24] But My servant Caleb, because he has had a different spirit and has followed Me fully, I will bring into the land which he entered, and his descendants shall take possession of it.

Adam had a different spirit than all other earth-roaming people, (like the Neanderthals). So, David had Adam’s spirit and the Lord liked it. We go back in time and we spot Joshua and Caleb who had different spirit than the ten other spies who caught the fright disease and which they gave to the rest (Num. 13). As a result that entire generation had to die during the 40 years of wandering. God favors His Spirit in us and us when we tap to His Spirit and boldly act on it. We see scriptural consistency and logic. The better we know the Bible the more accurate picture we are able to paint.

When we count the lifespans of Adam’s descendants we add up several thousands of years. Those that hold on to the gap theory, a Lucifer’s imagined rebellion and a dark-ages type of a period, etc., try to substantiate their theories. But once we understand Cain’s Nod, his wife and the Kenites who settled Canaan we make all zigzags straight again. 

The extra-terrestrials were on this earth, but these were angels-like beings created by God in the Garden of Eden. The offspring of Adam, Eve, Abel and Seth was permitted to enter women of different kind and the purpose was to stimulate progress. Did God succeed? The answer is yes, most certainly. The ancient structures testify of this success, our cultures and the technological development owes deep thanks to the Adamic race from which, thanks to Israel and the Bible, no human would ever develop.       
 
Again, if angels are the ministering or SERVING spirits whether in the spirit body or physical garment (which the human body really is) then it should not be surprising that their human offspring was also be of a softer disposition. If Cain was the devil, therefore evil, then Abel was soft. Abel’s or rather Seth’s seed was gentle. Cain’s seed was aggressive.

The Jewish people of the pre WWII time were too soft and they went to the slaughter like little lambs. Out of this remnant of lambs God raised for Himself lions to establish the state of Israel and to fulfill His eternal plan. Today within the Israeli government we witness the struggle between ‘hawks’ and ‘lambs’. The Nation is divided between the soft and the hard. The process continues. But when you travel to Antarctica you must protect yourself against the extreme cold by wearing thick and warm clothes. In the same way the Creator wants us to have thick skin but soft hearts. That is also the reason why we must maintain defensive forces, for aggressors keep on scrutinizing your every move.

GIANTS’ DISAPPEARANCE

Sixteen kilometers east of the Sea of Galilee in the western part of the historic Bashan plain of Israel are the ruins of the Gilgal Rephaim. It is five concentric rings made of an estimated 42,000 tons of black volcanic basalt stones wedged together. It is also often called the Circle of Og. “Og the King of Bashan, which was of the remnant of the giants, that dwelt at Ashtaroth at edrei” (Joshua 12:4). In Genesis 14:5, we are told the Rephaim inhabit the place called Ashteroth-karnaim. About ten miles from the rings is the site of an ancient Canaanite city called Ashtaroth. Deuteronomy 2 mentions the Rephaim who were as large as the Anakim (v. 10). About the size of the people of Bashan we read in Deuteronomy 3:11. Bashan’s king Og was the last of the great Rephaim. His iron bedstead was kept at Rabbah, and measured thirteen and a half feet long and six feet wide.

ARCHEOLOGY TODAY

According to a press clipping, dated Nayarit, Mexico, May 14, 1926, Capts. D. W. Page and F. W. Devalda discovered the bones of a race of giants who averaged over ten feet in height.
In, June 22, 1925, and the New York Herald-Tribune, June 21, 1925. A mining party, it is reported, found skeletons measuring 10 to 12 feet, with feet 18 to 20 inches long, near Sisoguiche, Mexico. The Los Angeles Times, October 2, 1927, says that explorers in Mexico located large human bones near Tapextla, indicating a race of “gigantic size.” Press accounts say that the skeleton of a gigantic man, with head missing, has been unearthed at El Boquin, on the Mico River, in the Chontales district. The ribs are a yard long and four inches wide and the shinbone is too heavy for one man to carry. "Chontales" is an Indian word, meaning “wild men.” In the late 1950’s during road construction in Homs southeast Turkey, many tombs of Giants were indeed unearthed. These tombs were 4 meters long, and when entered in 2 cases the human thighbones were measured to be 47.24 inches in length. They calculated that the person who owned this Femur probably stood at fourteen to sixteen feet tall. A cast of this bone is seen at the Creationist museum in Texas.
Flavius Josephus, the noted Jewish historian of the first century A.D., described the giants as having “bodies so large and countenances so entirely different from other men that they were surprising to the sight and terrible to the hearing.” And he adds that in his day, the bones of the giants were still on display.

CLOSING POINTS

God’s sons carried quite a different spirit than all other peoples on the planet. People like Neanderthals were also made out of the ground, but were not infused with that same intelligent spirit, as were Adam and his descendants. Cain infused those other people with a higher life-energy, which roused several sleeping faculties like higher IQ and the growth of bigger brains. Cain activated technological progress as well as new warfare tactics; currency creation like gold and silver, which in turn instigated trade. Just as Joshua, Caleb and later David did not fear the giants the same is with those who know the Truth. They do not easily fall prey to anything frightening, they know more and know better.

[Proverbs 28:1] The wicked flee when no one is pursuing, but the righteous are bold as a lion.
