A New Paradigm

Elohim, Gospel, Mystery Babylon, Prophecy, Revelation

If you have been consistently reading the posts of F.B’s commentary on the Book of Revelation, then, by now, you should be walking in a new Christian paradigm.  I studied the Book of Revelation for more than thirty years before finally reading F.B.’s book.  Each commentary I read interpreted the symbols of Revelation in different ways.  Each interpreted the past or predicted the future differently.  All led me nowhere and over the course of my life I became more frustrated with the book.

Perhaps the most frustrating of all verses to me was the book’s very first verse which reads, “The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to show unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and revealed it by his angel unto his servant John.”   I remember yelling out to myself (or the LORD, maybe both), “How can these things shortly come to pass?  It’s been almost two thousand years since these words were written!”  Now I understand my problem.  I had been thinking in the wrong paradigm.  I had always learned and thought that Revelation predicted the future when it was written. 

I knew that there were various schools of thought concerning this book from the very beginning of my walk with Christ.  In 1978, during my second year of knowing salvation, I studied the book in Bible school under the President of my Bible college, Glenn Bourne.  Mr. Bourne primarily taught us using notes from his forthcoming  book, Tower of Truth.  In that book’s introduction he writes, “Some study this Book with the idea that it is a history book.  They look to the history of John’s day for their understanding.  Others believe this Book is an outline of history beginning at the time of Christ’s first coming and  continuing until His return.  Still others think this book is primarily prophetic and are looking to the future for the fulfillment of its message.”  (Glenn H. Bourne, Tower of Truth, Litho Printers, 1982, p. ix)

Notice that each primary method for understanding the Book of Revelation deals with explaining it naturally, whether that explanation is past, present, or future.  But, Jesus taught us that his words are spiritual.  This is true for all of Scripture and no less for Revelation.  In order to comprehend this book we must approach it spiritually.  This is exactly what F.B. did when he sought God for its interpretation.  Over and over and over again the Holy Spirit sent him to other books of the Bible and to various translations of the Bible in order to decipher a particular word or phrase in Revelation.  As he obediently did that, the LORD revealed a consistent spiritual message to him.

The Book of Revelation is Christ’s love letter to his bride wherein he teaches her to come out of Babylon (false religion, the beast, the false prophet, the false church made with men’s hands) by practicing righteousness.  She (we, hopefully) does this through the process of repenting of her sins, thus cleansing herself continually with his Word.  Beloved, we have pursued the wrong paradigm in our study of this very prophetic book.  Jesus did not write it to prophesy the future.  He wrote it to prophesy (speak God’s truth concerning) the process of his bride overcoming the world so that she will be fit to rule the world with him when he comes again.

Knowledge of the Truth: Evolution

Mystery Babylon, truth

Man’s doctrine of evolution stands out as his most blatant and successful, so far as his rebellion against God is concerned, suppression of the knowledge of the truth.  Men carry this suppression so far that they will not even allow the contrary opinion of creation to be taught in their public schools.  Scientists and academics who believe in creation and dare to teach it or refer to it in their work are routinely expelled from their jobs and blacklisted from getting new jobs.

Recently we saw worldwide newscasts that men had finally found the “missing link.”  A simple look at these old bones shows that they resemble a man in almost no way.  This long-dead beast simply shared similar aspects of man’s created body.  The only missing link this proved was the missing link in men’s thinking, namely God Himself.

I have been studying history for years.  Until recently you could find almost no historical work that claimed to explore any human civilization older than about 4,000 B.C., the Biblical date of Adam’s creation.  All books on human origins took you back to Ur of the Chaldees or the fertile crescent between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in Iraq.  This indeed was the location of Eden.  Here was where men began to move and multiply upon the earth.  Now, of course, we have “carbon dating” techniques which pretend to show much older civilizations.  But, do not be deceived.  Men work hard to suppress the truth.

And what is the result of mankind finally believing that he evolved by chance and time from cosmic gas and slime?  He acts like the beast he thinks he is.  For him there is no absolute truth, nothing really right or really wrong.  If he can think it, he does it, for no morality exists to guide his thoughts, actions, or inventions.  Hence we live in a world of progressing nightmare.  We cannot trust our governments or our scientists because we do not know what they might to do to us or others.  And so we tolerate or fear atomic, chemical, or biological warfare, scalar weaponry that can destroy massively from great distances away, chemtrails that routinely block our skies doing who knows what, poisons in our air, our water, our blood, controls on every aspect of our lives, road blocks in the heart of the country with police just waiting for any tiny infraction they can find, police-state goons sweeping in and taking law-abiding citizens co-op supplies at gunpoint, cities refusing to allow Christians to teach and pray in their own homes, sex change operations that further confuse people already confused, nanobots they want to put into our blood, ….

Yes, the doctrine of evolution has proved man’s greatest tool for convincing almost all other men to take the throne of their lives away from their Creator.  Through evolution’s godless and bestial doctrines mankind en mass literally became the beast that rises from the sea (of mankind) with seven (complete) heads and ten (number of law) horns (power).  Ten is the number of the Law and the beast’s ten horns demonstrate that he lives by the power of his own law, not God’s Law.   Mankind has rejected truth and become lawless.  The man of lawlessness has now been revealed and the consummation of the age is at hand.

We Would Have Healed Babylon

Elohim, Mystery Babylon

We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed: forsake her, and let us go every one into his own country: for her judgment reacheth unto heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies. (Jeremiah 51:9 KJV)

If you take time to read Tiny Minds and then the comments for the video by Christianu2uber which is linked at the bottom, you will begin to understand God’s prophecy to Jeremiah.  The comments of those who disagree with this twelve-year old boy who posted that video are vile, astonishingly vile, rancidly vile.  The evil thoughts portrayed there far outweigh the few of love, hope, or peace written to encourage him.  Even many Christians wrote negative comments, thus taking sides with the defiled against this young boy who bravely expressed his views against gay marriage.

We clearly see here the strong delusion that God has now cast over the face of the earth.  I doubt that the pagans at the time of the first preachers of the gospel acted as corruptly as these arrogant toads that spew venom at their prey.  And we see this delusion affecting believers as well as non-believers.  How can this be?

Read the passage that deals specifically with this time in history, 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12, and you will see that the defining characteristic of anyone unaffected by this delusion is that he loves the truth.  Those Christians who have sided with Satan in this homosexual debate believe they are open-minded and tolerant.  No, they are deceived and have betrayed their LORD.  They have denied him as Jude predicted.  Through their words they show that they do not love the truth.  God, therefore, gave them over to a spirit of delusion.

I do not see much Scriptural hope for a great end-time revival as some now predict.  There seems to be only the glimmer of light at the end of Malachi where he hopes that God will turn the hearts of the children to their fathers and the fathers to their children.  But, now both father and child act corruptly and if they do turn their hearts to one another, shall it not be only to do wickedness?

We being made into God’s image understand that mercy triumphs over judgment, yet judgment must still come if one refuses to repent.  We would have healed Babylon, but she would not be healed.  She is a cup in the LORD’s hand that has driven the world mad with her sexual sins.  Leave her in her sin.  She can’t hear you.   She can only mock your words of wisdom.  Cast not your pearls before swine.  Come out of her my people, lest you share in her sins and her plagues!  The Beast begins even now to turn upon her.

The Beast Kingdom Rules for “Seven Times”

Elohim, Mystery Babylon

The Books of Revelation and Daniel contain many prophecies concerning future events, at least from the standpoint of each of the writers of these two books.  Future beast kingdoms that rule the earth concern both books in profound ways.  Consider, for example, Daniel chapters 4 and 7 and Revelation 11:7, 13:1-18; 14:8-11; 15:1-2; 16:1-2, 10, 13; 17:3, 7-18; 19:19-20; 20:4, 10.  We believe that we now stand at the time of the fulfillment of these prophecies.  I believe that one of the clearest proofs for this is that the historical record proves that Adam was created a few years over 6,000 years ago and that we have now entered the seventh day (7th thousand year period of man’s history), the prophetic day of rest.

Before reading the rest of this article, please read all of Daniel chapter 4.  Now run your Bible program and do two searches, one for “seven times,” and one for “seven years.”  You will find many examples of both, but you will not find one verse that says that seven times equals seven years.  Yet how many times have you heard that Nebuchadnezzar spent “seven years” in the wilderness?  If you find that verse, please email me to tell me where it is.  Consider the following passage from Daniel 4.

At the end of twelve months he walked in the palace of the kingdom of Babylon. The king spoke, and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honor of my majesty? While the word was in the king’s mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, saying, O king Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is spoken; The kingdom has departed from you. And they shall drive you from men, and your dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field: they shall make you to eat grass like oxen, and seven times shall pass over you, until you know that the most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever he will. The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven from men, and did eat grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hair had grown like eagles’ feathers, and his nails like birds’ claws. And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up my eyes unto heaven, and my understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the most High, and I praised and honored him that lives forever, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is from generation to generation: (Daniel 4:29-34 KJ2000)

I believe that chapter 4 of Daniel gives a long term prophecy of the “beast kingdom” called Mystery Babylon.  Nebuchadnezzar, of course, was the first king of ancient Babylon that transformed that nation into a world empire.  His dream foretells that the heads of the world political system would become as a beast of the field for “seven times.”  By the end of those seven times, according to God’s reckoning, the beast’s hair would become as “eagles’ feathers” and his nails like “birds’ claws.”  

The phrase “seven times” probably, then, does not speak of a future seven year period of time.  The phrase seems to be prophetic language for the entire period of time of man’s authority over the world, from Adam until the end of the Beast Kingdom’s authority.  Likewise, the passages in Revelation dealing with “time, times, and half a time,” “42 months” and “1260 days” probably are not literal periods of time, but relate to a portion of the “seven times” mentioned in Daniel.   Clearly, most passages in the prophetic books cannot be taken literally.  Why would we then consider the time periods to be literal?  Also, does this passage from Daniel 4 prophetically speak of the United States, the nation symbolized by the great eagle?  And do birds’ claws show that this great eagle, the symbol of Mystery Babylon, rules in the end by demonic power?

Now consider the four beast kingdoms of Daniel 7.  According to that Scripture these beast kingdoms rule until the end of the age of the Gentiles (age of man) when the Ancient of Days destroys the fourth kingdom.  After that the other kingdoms still exist, but they no longer possess their dominion and authority.  These kingdoms will thus continue under the authority of the Kingdom of God that Jesus establishes at that time.  This appears to mean that the governmental manifestation of Mystery Babylon at the end of Gentile world history will be utterly destroyed, but that the time of national governments will be extended.  Their power is limited, however, because they must then submit to the authority of God’s government through his overcoming saints.  These are the saints who rule with a rod of iron, the scepter of Christ’s justice and mercy.

It is then that the remaining beast kingdoms acknowledge that the Most High rules, that He lives forever, that his dominion is an everlasting dominion, and that his kingdom is from generation to generation.  This is the yet future period of time when the knowledge of the LORD shall fill the earth as the waters cover the sea!

Let us continue on the narrow path toward that Kingdom so that we may be accounted worthy to rule there with Jesus our LORD.

Mystery Babylon, Poems

How can your horror be described?
the starving babies
with bloated bellies
milk tainted by man’s greed

How can your horror be described?
the needles and thorns
the little horn
the genetically modified seed

How can your horror be described?
the man-made storms
the constant wars
your promulgating sin

How can your horror be described?
the punctured face
the lack of grace
the emptiness within…

The Beast

Mystery Babylon

“I was so foolish and ignorant; I was a beast before you.” (Psalm 73:22)

If we do not keep ourselves from idols and begin to repent of the idols we have partaken of, we will partake of the beast instead.  In fact, we become the beast.

“As a dream when one awakes, so, LORD, when you awake, you shall despise their image.” (Psalm 73:20)

Why will God “despise their image?”  Because they submitted not to be made into His image.  The posts and writings on this website mainly relate to God’s creation plan of making man into His image.   Read Image of God.

Instead of seeking to know more about his maker, man runs from him and becomes more like the beast of the field than the elohim God intends.   Thus man becomes a being living only by instinct and carnal feeling, just as described in Revelation 12-13 and 17-18.

The beasts in the Book of Revelation picture the governments of man which rule the world under the authority of Satan without recourse to God or his Law.  The harlot Jezebel rides the beast masquerading as true religion, but she is a hypocrite.  She rides the governmental beast in all nations pretending to adhere to the dictates of the state religion or religions.  False religion rides the beast because she depends upon the state’s (beast’s) sustenance rather than God’s provision.  But the Beast is now beginning to turn on her, just as prophesied…

I and My Machine are One!

Elohim, Mystery Babylon, News, singularity

I rarely read books like The Singularity is Near, but I was drawn to this book.  Search the web or the libraries or the bookstores and you will find countless books by evolutionists who think they understand the world and the myriad aspects of this world like life, death, religion, philosophy, politics, morality, sexuality, psychology, and on and on.   As I read it I realized its profundity existed for one reason and one reason only, it speaks the truth.  This is not to say that every assertion that Kurzweil makes is true; they are not.  He makes some silly and some old assertions and gives the concerns of religion, of theism, very little attention in his book.  But, that’s okay.  He is an irreligious man who believes not in God.  Man, for him, is GOD.  He believes that man’s literal intercourse with machine reproduces an even GREATER GOD!  And, since man is God and does the programming that makes the machine which ultimately makes the machineman, then the machineman is good as God is good.  Thus, according to Kurzweil, have no fear for superman(machine) is here!

So, what is so profound about The Singularity is Near?   Mainly the term, singularity, which it brings to light, for that term essentially means “oneness.”  Kurzweil predicts, indeed prophesies more accurately than most Christians, the soon-coming oneness of man and machine.  “I and my Father are One!” proclaimed Jesus.  “I and my Machine will be One!” proclaims Kurzweil, and believe me, if nothing changes within the next few decades Kurzweil or someone like him will proclaim, and may proclaim truly, “The SINGULARITY IS HERE.  I and my machine ARE ONE.  WE ARE GOD!”

Within this idea dwells nothing less than the grand scheme and aspiration of Satan which is to dethrone the one true God.  Yet, the truth and the mystery remains that God made man in His Image.  God made man like Himself.  But, he could not, and he did not, do it in the way Kurzweil wants to do it.  He did not make man an automaton (although Kurzweil despises to use this phrase with respect to his own vision).  He created man in such a way that in order to become like his creator, he had to want to become like him.  He had to come to the point where he could discern good and evil and willingly choose the good.  Only then could man proceed to become like God.  Only then could man ever truly be in God’s image.

Kurzweil, on the other hand, possesses no image of the true God in his mind for he possesses no image of good and evil there.  He remains content to make a new type of man after his own image, the image of a machine which has no moral sense, which would as soon do this altruistic charity as that abominable atrocity.  Of course he would deny such assertions, for he uses the same lame philosophy as the libertarian who says that so long as one does not harm or damage another, he walks on the moral high ground.   But, it is exactly this philosophy which bought us sexual “freedom,” among other evils, and the resulting billions of dollars of cost and debt incurred by trying to cure the dreaded diseases this ”freedom” brings.  And, of course, free sex doesn’t hurt anybody.  Kurzweil, though, would tout this libertarian maxim as if it is the Golden Rule in his dream of immortality.  But, he has no comprehension of the Golden Rule’s true meaning, for he does not ground that rule in God’s immutable laws.

“I and My Father are One!” proclaimed Jesus.  “I and my Machine are one,” says Kurzweil.  With whom are you one?

Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. (Genesis 2:24)
Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers? (Malachi 2:10)
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. (Matthew 7:21)
I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me. (John 8:18)
I and my Father are one. (John 10:30)
