Here are the FAQs. Click on a question, to go to its answer.

  1. Why are you writing these webpages? Can I quote you?
  2. What Christian denomination are you?
    1. Can I have a “doctrinal statement” from you to save me reading time?
  3. Why the Bible?
  4. Why are you so critical of Christianity?
  5. Why so much emphasis on the Angelic Conflict, on Satan’s strategy and tactics?
  6. Why so much emphasis on God designing time in 490‑year increments? Is that like Bible Codes?
    1. How did you come up with the BC/AD dates in GeneYrs.xls? Based on what Bible verses? And how did you get 490+70+490?
    2. Do you believe in the Books of Enoch, Jubilees, or the Talmud? The 490+70+490=1000+50 resembles Talmudic timelines for Messiah.
    3. Why did you get this “information” about how God orchestrates time? Why not a pastor, scholar, or the Jews? What makes you so special?
  7. Why are you anti‑Muslim?
  8. You criticize Bible translations a lot. Isn’t that unfair? What right do you have to say they’re mistranslated?
  9. What Bible translation do you recommend?
  10. Why should I read what you write instead of someone respectable who disagrees with you?
  11. You use many Greek terms associated with Gnosticism. Are you Gnostic? 🤣
  12. Why don’t you use your real name? Who are you? Isn’t anonymity disrespectful?
  13. The Bible is a corrupted book of myths. How can you believe in it?
  14. What do you mean by Scripture verses having “multistoried meanings”? Are you an allegorist?
  15. Aren’t you just parroting your pastor or imposing presuppositions like everyone else?
  16. There’s a lot of new and unproven theology on your site. Shouldn’t you stick with what’s established?
  17. What you write here will revolutionize Christianity!
  18. I hear your pastor is a false teacher!
  19. Why don’t you quote your sources?
  20. What are your credentials?

Summary, how these webpages are 'Different'

All webpages and associated videos focus on accounting for any doctrine. This is my internal purpose. This is not a ministry. I am not selling anything, and I don't even agree with myself, much less expect anyone to agree with 'me'. This is not about what I think, or what someone else thinks, because the only thing that matters, is Bible. Not, human opinion, sentiment, etc. Can't prove a thing true or false, until you can account for it.

Look: we all read Bible and make claims of it. So: if a claimed doctrine is valid, it can be accounted sans contradiction, and balance. So: I really don't care which doctrine is true, whether that doctrine comes from someone I know, someone I like or dislike, or even if it's my own sense of a passage — so long as I can prove it in Bible.

So 'my' material is not an apologetic. It's an audit. As a result, many of the doctrines Christendom holds near and dear, don't stand up under audit, and many previously unknown 'doctrines', are shown.

Frankly, it doesn't matter to me which beliefs are correct, so long as I know what they are. And I never know as much 'today', as I can learn 'tomorrow'. Moreover, what I think true today might be proven UNtrue tomorrow. Okay, then tomorrow I'll know better. So it's no threat, to have a belief change or be unseated. It's called learning, and that's always a joy.

Bible has proven itself to be from God: more on why, is in #3 of the FAQs, below. Do I know that Bible as well as I should? No. So ever learning, to ever understand it better, is the quest.

Sadly, the Bible seems suspect, because Fuzzball Theology characterizes Churchinanity today. Bible scholarship remains abysmal. There's no real audit of Christian tenets, nor of any other religion, for that matter; you're just expected to accept what the 'experts' tell you. Yeah, and guess what? Many of these 'experts' prove to be liars or incompetent. So they hedge, because they don't really know the answers, and don't want to offend! It's painful to say so. And documented, so that any 'scholar' can privately read. If God wants someone to find these pages, He will cause that, not me.

Documented: scan the internet.

Thus the Bible is disrespected, in favor of respecting mere people. Therefore the 'respectable' standard wins over proper hermeneutics, teaching. Daily. Centuries-old mistranslations in Bibles endure, because pastors and 'scholars' are afraid to correct them. Centuries-old false doctrines endure, because someone 'respectable' in the past, espoused those falsehoods. So we ape the Pharisees of the Lord's day. And, for the same reasons. God's Own Word doesn't matter anymore: only the 'respectability' of the 'scholar' is held to be determinative. God help you if you dissent!

This was and remains precisely the problem Israel had. And we Christians are just like her.

Now, one shouldn't become iconoclastic and hate teachers, scholars, etc. If you knew what they had to put up with just to get through a single day, you'd want to worship them, instead. That's the problem. Neither worship nor warring, is warranted. Instead, they need to be freed from their political chains by us laymen. The "publish or perish" standard, the idolizing of degrees, of past teachers, needs toning down. Past teachers and scholars made mistakes. We'd have made more mistakes, had we been them. So it's no shame to admit the past mistakes, correct them and move on: that's what you're taught at West Point. We need to admit that for our Bible people, too.

Thus auditing is vital and must be pan-Bible, before you can provably 'balance' meaning. You read just a verse usually in translation, and of course some idea of its meaning, strikes you. But if it's mistranslated, the meaning you think you see, is not there. Even if properly translated, you still might take it out of context. Even if in context, what about the fit of that context with all other contexts, before you can safely say the interpretation is valid? It's like balancing a portfolio of assets. Painstaking work, but if you don't do it all, then you get — fuzzball theology. Or worse, lies masquerading as truth. With fatal results.

It's vital to account for what someone else gets wrong. First, you better test whether you yourself get something wrong: it's not about fingerpointing, but about auditing. For when you see someone else get something wrong, the natural question should be, "what errors might I be making — too?" So it's never about blaming the one who got it wrong. It's only about auditing.

Second, you find vital added information as you do this auditing. I've learned vast amounts of Bible doctrine I didn't know, simply by tracking how someone else's interpretation went wrong. For when you balance a checkbook, two errors might cancel out other checks and deposits — thus by auditing everything, you can detect what otherwise would be hidden.

Bible Doctrine accounting works the same way. So always account for how someone gets a thing wrong, as well as how it is right: you get a goldmine of Bible data, when you do this.

Here's a Bible auditing example. In Aramaic, גֵּיהִנּוֹם (Gehenna) was the name for a noxious trash dump which all Jerusalem used. The word is Aramaic, not Greek, but is transliterated to γέεννα, in the New Testament. If you are a bad scholar, you'll just assume that the name only means the trash dump, and ignore the metaphor it represents pan-Bible: that metaphor is a literal, everlasting hell which is also known as "the Lake of Fire", moniker for the new universe all unbelievers go into, when eternity future begins. So: if you don't audit the Bible from Genesis to Revelation to get all the context surrounding the use of "Gehenna" in the Gospels, you'll misread it and misinterpret an extremely important doctrine. With fatal results (i.e., believing there is no such thing as hell). God executes believers for misrepresenting His Word, 1 John 5:16, Acts 5 (AKA the sin "face-to-face with death"). You get time to correct it, since of course we are all wrong on something. But you had better keep auditing, or you will find yourself in deep doo-doo 💩. And then, embarrassed at the Bema, though forever saved and mighty glad to be there.

Longer example. In Luke 2:1-2, reference is made to "Quirinius". If you are a bad scholar, you'll restrict your research to what 'proves' your point, just as a bad lawyer will do in a courtroom. So you'll ignore the Bible and isagogical facts that:

For Augustus and Herod, were close. So close, Augustus used to visit Herod about every five years, and at great personal expense, Herod created the town of Caesarea expressly for Augustus; the area was known for its Games, one of the best places for the Games outside Rome itself. So if Quirinius was despatched on business related to Augustus and Judaea, he'd go to Herod.

Luke 1:26 Ἐν δὲ τῷ1 μηνὶ τῷ2 ἕκτῳ ἀπεστάλη ὁ ἄγγελος Γαβριὴλ ἀπὸ τοῦ θεοῦ εἰς πόλιν τῆς Γαλιλαίας ᾗ ὄνομα Ναζαρὲθ

So Christ was born about three months before Herod died. At the time Luke wrote, that fact would be common knowledge, so Luke wouldn't have to reference the date: he's using the census to show prophecy was fulfilled, and everyone knew what that prophecy was, from Matthew's account. Luke is playing off Matthew to add more information in writing. That's what a new Bible book is supposed to do, thread prior Divine Writ into itself, to establish itself as coming from God. You then audit what it says, compared to prior proven Writ. So you don't need Councils of Nicaea, etc. You need 1 John 1:9 and thus get the Holy Spirit's Brains, as you read. Of course, if you refuse to be under a pastor also, then you'll learn little. Again, the scholarship is bad, but God is the God of authority. So He works within authority, to correct it. So it was His work on the people at Nicaea, to alert them to what was His Word. His work. Not, theirs.

So notice the centuries of bad scholarship, just blithely passing over the doubled (τῷ) articles in Luke 1:26, and blame the Bible for not telling us when Christ was born? 🤦 Oh, it's "inscrutable"? Or, "the Bible doesn't say"? Or, "tradition says", as if the Bible did not? How Disgusting! Blaming the Bible for our lack of homework?! If you read commentaries disputing a winter birthdate for Christ, please take Pepto-Bismol beforehand. Sloppy stuff!

Do you know, many a Bible scholar or pastor in history has 'lost his faith', or even committed suicide, because he caves into bad scholarship? For these people became so trusting of the wrong answers pandered for centuries, they couldn't even read the Bible properly anymore. Today, you'll hear them sing the same lament as in centuries past. In every case, it's because No Proper Homework Was Done In Bible. The 'respected' hedging, false, pusillanimous views won over the plain Bible text.

Time to get rid of the fuzzballs, huh. So 'my' webpages focus on what the Bible says: Bible, not the scholars. The only one Who's Right, is God. For scholars tend to become enmeshed with each other; Bible becomes a casualty in their debates. Ergo all the dissension over when Christ came, the Exodus, whether Bible is "inspired", and other inter-denominational quarrels. For Bible isn't consulted for Its Own Answers, but rather people consult other people: scholars, pastors, 'respected' people of yesteryear. Blind leading blind results, and of course it's entirely unintended. And often, fatal.

Now, you should be able to find proof of those points above without too much trouble even on the internet. Look up "Augustan tax reform", "Quirinius", "Herod the Great", "Augustus", "SPQR taxation", etc. ISBE Encyclopedia and even the History Channel have articles on this topic.

Thus a bad scholar will leave out the information which disputes his position (like the Skeptics Bible people do), in order to make the Bible look bad. It's all over the internet, bad scholarship. Don't be a bad scholar, but instead audit both sides, and carefully. For you alone are responsible for what beliefs you 'buy', and you have the God-given right to change your mind.


Hence website (and video) content differs from the internet norm, mostly in the following categories:

Even Isaiah knew and foretold, the exact year Messiah would be born, embedding the chronology in his Hebrew meter. For he 'answers' the same meter in Moses' Psalm 90; in Judaism even today, that's the foundational Psalm on God's Construct for Time. Jews misread the Psalm, but God preserved the words and hence the meter, so you can see how Isaiah 53 plays off Moses. See also Mirroring Timeline — demonstrate this live from the unaltered BHS Hebrew text. Very easy to see and count the syllables, which are parsed onscreen so you can audit the video claims, yourself.

For Bible's Hebrew Meter was used as a memory aid, not 'Bible codes'. (🤣 nothing in Bible is ever hidden, just forever misread.) That way when you remembered Isaiah 53, you'd automatically remember the timeline as well (in Hebrew you test verse memory and accuracy by use of meter). So it's a prosaic, handy way of seeing that the Birth and Death of Messiah was long forecast. His Death Day was enshrined in the Passover, as you probably know: Passover was an update on Abel's memorial sacrifice depicting Savior To Come. However, the year of His birth was not known until David died. Like Moses, Isaiah made a chronology of and memorialized His Death in Isaiah 53. Then, about 191 years after Isaiah wrote, His Exact Birthday was told to Zerubbabel via Haggai 2. That date, 24-25 Chislev, which initially was the Second Temple's foundation-laying day (cute) — would become known as Chanukah, owing to the yet-future desecration of the Temple, by the prototype of Antichrist, Antiochus IV 'Epiphanes'.

Philippians 2:5 (Get) this mind (thinking) in you which (was) also in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 2:5 τοῦτο φρονεῖτε ἐν ὑμῖν ὃ καὶ ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ

Videos, Flow Chart of the Spiritual Maturation Process, and the Lord vs. Satan Part 3 will walk you through that. The latter is very long, so suggest you view the videos first.

Note well: Christ was age 30 before He even began to have a ministry. So look at our Christian lying incompetence: the minute you are saved, you're told to run around spouting a Gospel you don't even understand. That's like giving an infant a Mauser, and telling him to shoot. So we Kill The Word by our ignorance. Christ was Perfect and it still took Him, 30 years to train! Do we realize that? Oh no. Do we notice how Christ was put into situations? He waited for God to thrust Him into the situation with the Samaritan woman, the demons were brought to Him; He didn't go crusading, but just walked around, waiting for situations to come to Him. Do we wait on the Lord? Oh no. We play Madison Avenue gimmicks, advertise ourselves. It's disgusting, how we do the opposite of what the Bible says!

So no wonder, then, we Christians are ridiculed. We blaspheme God with our good deeds, our ignorant lies against a Bible we can't read, for we don't know we need to use 1 John 1:9 like breathing and train Like Christ Did, before we even open up our mouths. Guns kill. Guns save lives. Better know how to shoot and what to shoot, before you shoot anything... like your mouth. Lest you kill the very thing you were trying to save!

Satan's not stupid. He mingles lies with truth so to sell the lie (and loves to hypnotise opposing 'teams' with truths they don't understand). If the truth is mingled, you won't know its context. Like, good deeds. Good deeds are used by every religion, to sell the religion. So people see the good deeds, and consider the good-deeder, must be representing God. Not so. Ego is the motive of the good-deeder, fancying he can do something for God. That's what 'jihad' means. A real God needs no 'jihad', but ego makes God small, to make the human big, and so of course even murder and suicide then are deemed good deeds. All good deeds, murder — unless you are thinking properly at the time you do them. Well, you can't be thinking properly until and unless you first learn Scripture. But no one does. So we Christians are just as disgusting as all Muslims, all unbelievers, all name-your-most-hated-group-here. For we hate the Word, and instead shoot our Mausers blindly.

So we misrepresent what God says. So we sell, what Satan says. And the demons all laugh their heads off, watching our disgusting 'Christian' TV programs with the whirling globes — because we are obeying Satan's Third Temptation to Christ, falling for the kingdoms of the world, preening over 'all the world', screaming how we are doing great things for God, and always ending with 'praise the Lord' because His name ought to be slapped on, at the end. End, not beginning. So we end our lives, blaspheming Him, and when He then punishes us with sickness, adversity and death, we wonder why. Or miscount ourselves holy martyrs, just like the Muslims do.

But Christ, became the Truth. By means of learning the Truth, Matthew 4:4. So He waited, listened, learned. Therefore, could hear and know what God wanted, each second, in each situation, before responding. Can you do that? Can I? Do you do that? Do I? If we are honest, we must say 'no'. We don't know the Word well enough, to hear God through it, most of the time. So the good deed, is God's Deed, which only He can perform: John 14:26, recalling to our minds the relevant Scripture for each situation. After it's been Audited. Not, fly-by-your-ego-emotion-idea-of-Bible, slapping God's name on your deed, at the end.

For Royal Training takes years, before you can rule. Royalty means learning to rule the self, before you are qualified to rule or rule on, anyone or anything else. We blaspheme Christ, therefore, when we call our working working working, spiritual. Just like the Jews and Muslims do.

For your life is but a becoming, a seed, 1 Corinthians 15. A pregnancy, Romans 8. Your real life and real deeds, come after the seed dies. Seed of the Seed, is your God-given agenda down here, contract of Isaiah 53:10, theme of James 1-2. Once you are born from above, the Word gets implanted in you, James 1:21. Then grows in you, and only then do you become mature. Seeds don't bear fruit. Must first be birthed as a seed, then become a branch of the Tree. That takes a lifetime, theme of James 2:26, 2 Timothy 4:7-8. 'Faith' is doctrine in your head you believe. Not, the act of your believing. God's Deed, His putting the Doctrine in your head. Not, your huffing and puffing and "how proud I am of my faith" garbage.

For you got Saved To Heaven when you first believed in Christ for your salvation. But your soul is still all trashed up with Satan's good-deedism. So it needs to be rescued, AKA 'saved', from that bad thinking.

Whole Bible is centered on that topic. So what you do down here, is a product of what you learn down here, so you must get stuff to do from God directing you; and you can't get His Direction, until you know His Book. That takes years of training. Just as Christ did. And the world is blessed for you merely learning Christ (conduit): main theme of all my webpages and videos, is to demonstrate that 'blessing by association', as my pastor termed it. (That theme is the impetus for all webpages and videos, auditing how and why God set it up that way, rather than Satan's do-goodism of Matthew 4.)

Think about it: when you do a good deed, do you know in advance why you are supposed to do it? Do you know in advance what its effects will be? Do you know what you're selling with the good deed you do? You better know, or you better not, do that deed. For Satan sells his agenda via good deeds, reflected everywhere: advertising, politics, romance — all over the place it's a tit-for-tat, negotiation of "I do for you, you do for me, and we call that good so we can be proud." God doesn't do that stuff. But we do, and slap His Name on it, violating the third commandment.

So better to do nothing, just learn, than have your efforts and good deeds sell Satan. So how can you know all this in advance? You gotta train. For years, learning Bible. Period. Then, as you are ready, count on it — God will put in your path, something to do. In my case, with these webpages, it was a janitor named Jesús who gave me a Windows PC someone threw in the trash, at the very moment I silently determined no woman should write webpages, so I must have been disobeying God. (I was then using WebTV since I hate Microsoft Windows.) So I got my marching orders, and God saved me $1,000 per month in phone bills, to boot (WebTV required composition online, and at that time it was expensive in my area). Even so, it's not a ministry, no woman is the head of anything — but anyone can audit. That's all I do. In secular life, and here in Bible. Each believer has that responsibility. To God, the Head of us all.

See? You wait for Him to thrust you into situations; meanwhile, soldier, you train in His Thinking. Christ was thrust on the Cross. Get the parallel?

You were thrust into this world. You didn't birth, yourself. You were thrust into the Angelic Trial. You are on trial every day, for the Doctrine in you. To Angels. The result of your use of Doctrine, is a ruled thing. So God rules to bless or curse the world, due to what you are learning or not learning, theme of Hebrews 11. That is what does good or bad for the world, not what you do with your body, itself. So all of what's bad down here, is our fault. Not the Jews' fault. Not the Muslims' fault, not the unbelievers' fault. For God blesses the world for the sake of the believers on it, theme of the Old Testament, and now those believers, are... us. Church. Whether Jew or Gentile.

So what does for God, is God doing for God, putting His Word in us. So on trial, is whether God does the doing... or we do. In the latter case, Satan 'helps' every time, to fool us into thinking we do something for God. If you find yourself imagining you do anything for anyone, let alone God — you're buying into Satan's plan. Not, God's. So you aid Satan's Plan. Not, God's. So you curse the world, for by opting out of God doing it to you, under Trial rules He must curse, just as Satan bid Him do to Job. But for quite different reasons, see Leviticus 26. Israel is cursed for refusing Christ, same passage. We are grafted in, so 'inherit' the Bride role (not the other covenants), and thus too are cursed when we alike reject Him, theme of Romans 9-11. Yikes.

So — and I don't mean to offend — I'm not doing the webpages and videos for you, for God, for anyone. I'm doing them, to learn Him better. By auditing, having to explain, I end up seeing where I know and don't know well enough, God's Word. And now I know that's okay to do, since Jesus the Janitor gave me my first Windows computer, to enable doing it at less expense. So if you get something from this audit, great. God had to make that happen. So I'm not involved, it's between Him and you.

For we're all on Divine Television. Even in the bathroom. Whoops. Not quite the idea of the spiritual life you hear pandered in pulpits, huh.

Or, start with "How God Orchestrates Time", Mirroring Timeline. You don't need to be a Hebrew or Greek expert to vet this. You only need to go through the many Bible verses which deal with dates or time. Webpage will show you how, and there's an associated spreadsheet which only uses Bible to create dates. After you get done with it, you'll never mistake the Rapture as being an invention of the 19th century, or mid-Tribulation, post-Tribulation, etc. The reason for the confusion is that scholars misdate Daniel 9, the Exodus, etc. For, they don't either believe or understand what Bible says. Big mistake. Questions #6 on this webpage further explain their mistakes.

So, the true Rapture's legal precedence in the First And Last Adam, is altogether missed. Knowing this Precedence radically alters how you read Bible, and suddenly the many Rapture verses in the New Testament, become clear. So proving it valid, required a good 400 printed pages or so, mostly in Part 4 of the Lord vs. Satan. It's a lot of reading, requires much vetting in Bible. Sorry. On the other hand, this accounting is what would distinguish 'my' webpages from all other material 'out there', because so far, nothing else 'out there' covers this topic. So I keep on searching for errors in the accounting, as I've got nothing else to compare.


Thus a Eschatological Reconciliation between Preterism and Dispensationalism, results.

"Dispensation" is solely the period to which a covenant belongs. Book of Hebrews outlines this, explaining why

  • The covenant of Israel is not Church,
  • As the latter derives from a different and pre-Israel kingship of Christ, "κατὰ Μελχισεδέκ".

But the problem was, Christ's Jewish Kingship was also won on the Cross (He was born King, but as King had to die for sins of all mankind) — with no kingdom. Because, Israel rejected Him when He came. Isaiah forecasted this whole show in his Hebrew meter.

So now, Time-wise, we are stuck in the bubble of Daniel 9:26c, so it's a dual 'tribulation, AKA "Times of the Gentiles" in Luke 21': that's where preterism gets its punch.

  • See, Israel was supposed to have accepted Him, but didn't,
  • So time for Israel ran out.
  • But Christ inserted 'Church' in Matthew 16:18, to bridge back to the timeline for Israel.
  • Hence the second of the dual Tribulation, namely the official one of the Old Testament, begins after Church.
  • As Hebrews 11:39-40 puts it, "apart from us )being completed), they (the Old Testament covenantal people) will not be completed." Verb is τελειόω, and it means to finish — ties back to Daniel 9:24's συντελέω (the completion of all things in the Trial, ties again to Ephesians 1:10).

So the preterists are partly right and the dispensationalists are partly right. It's just a question of patching their rightnesses together:

  • Yes, pre-Tribulation Rapture is real, but for legal and Time-accounting reasons which pre-date Church, precedented in Adam's Fall.
  • Yes, Millennium is real, it's also based on Time accounting which dates from Adam's Fall. Basic time accounting unit for the world is 1000 + 50 (the 50 is represented by Jubilee). Lord had to come when He did to renew time --1000th anniversary of David's United Kingship Start and die by the 1000th anniversary of David's Death.
  • Yes, because the Jews rejected Him an archetypal Tribulation pattern of history, began. Rejecting caused Him to die 7 years ahead of schedule, which schedule already debited 7 years for Temple Destruction if they had accepted Him, because their acceptance would have triggered world war. For the 50 years for harvesting the Gentiles were supposed to precede Daniel 9:27, it's part of the calendar every Jew once knew since David died (forecast in the Jewish calendar under Moses).

So notice how the preterists have only the first part of the answer. Problem is, they don't know God's rules for Time so they misdefine that hanging seven as belonging to Daniel 9:27, playing it in 64-70 AD. Nope, it's a different 7. And it played out during Church, fulfilling Joel 2.

So notice the duality of a real and future Tribulation, due to the fact that there are two sevens to play, and only one of them has played. So this part, the dispensationalists get right.

Two covenants, when there should have only been one. Two Kingships, two kingdoms, two covenants, two 'tribulations': ours is the longer and tougher one. Ephesians 4:13 criterion for completion, no time promised, since only Israel was promised time, and prior to Israel time was always contingent on voting (ergo the Flood, due to so many negative votes). All this is the theme of Book of Hebrews. Just keep reading it over and over, even in translation, and you should see the duality.

"Covenant Properties" traces the origin of this duality from the Old Testament Covenant 'properties' forward through what Christ invented, and what He legated to Church; what thus the Tribulation and Millennium people 'inherit' as their covenants. It's a long section, with 30 sub-points. Material should be familiar enough that you can think through the analysis as you read.

So the problem is, both preterists and dispensationalists don't recognize: a) Bible's Time Accounting System, and therefore b) the duality of 'tribulation'.


Along the way, other conundra in Christianity are handled, accounted, so you can vet what's said. This is not about selling a particular Bible interpretation. It's about auditing. For you can only mature spiritually, if you do your homework. So even if you end up disagreeing, you still grow by going through the auditing process. You only take to heaven, your Soul. Fill it with Bible Thinking. ☺️


The FAQs

1. Why are you writing these pages? Can I quote you? I write to test myself, really. To audit what I've come to believe for errors, and then correct those errors as I find them. I'm always finding some error, so I'm always correcting my beliefs. The initial impetus for the webpages was to save keystrokes in chatrooms. That reason still remains helpful. Most people ask big questions but want short answers. There are no short answers, hence the pages are needed.

As for quoting me, don't do it if you are trying to justify a position in the name of 'brainout', because 'brainout' is a nobody. Do your own homework. Sure, use any material you find here, but the goal of these pages is to stimulate thinking, not slavish quoting of someone. Sadly, Christianity is infected with 'scholars' quoting other 'scholars', few doing de novo research in the Bible, anymore. It's disgusting that for 2000 years, we've called it 'Good Friday', for example. Bible says it's Good Wednesday, for crying out loud, Matthew 12:40-41 and Mark 16:2, Mark 16:9; Luke 24:1; John 20:1! So the Church Fathers couldn't even count to three, and the fool 'scholars' have been making up really stupid lies, ever since. They should be shot. Can't go from night to day, without passing the full night; can't go from day to night without passing the full day. So you have to lie to claim that from Friday to Sunday, is three days and three nights! Sheesh. But that doesn't stop Catholic apologists from manufacturing lies about the three's being partial. Even if you lied like the Catholics do, and claim the threes-count as partial, you don't have three nights by Sunday at dawn. Oops. Liars always get caught.

So, the Church Fathers were stupid about the Mosaic Law, because they were antisemitic and didn't want to accept any instruction from Jews. So they forgot or never knew the difference between a high sabbath, and a regular one, so in their ignorance called it Good Friday. Okay, that's a mistake. No big deal. Just admit it, correct it, and move on. But oh no, Mother Apostate Church can't admit mistakes. So they lie for 2000 years. And people still want to be Catholic? But hey: the Protestants are no better. Liars all, instead of fessing up and correcting, learning God for a change, they'd rather fight their petty turf wars.

So Christ's Death Day is lied about. It was on the day that was supposed to be Passover, per John 19's Greek. So anyone lying about His Death day, calling themselves Christian, should be shot as a traitor. We humans don't like it when our own important dates are deliberately masked or forgotten, so it's suddenly okay that our Savior's, is lied about? To mask the fact that it was a Jewish holiday that ran four days late? So that, as per Exodus 12, He was timely arrested on what should have been the Lamb Set Aside Date? 2000 years of scholarship, and still all our Bible movies about Passion Week, Protestant or Catholic — miss this fact? Shameful!

Please understand: making a mistake is normal, and nothing shameful. Covering it up is shameful. I'm dead sure many scholars know about the crappy scholarship, but are afraid to speak up. That is even more shameful, and will be made public, at the Judgment Seat of Christ, 1 Corinthians 3, Revelation 4:1. We should be more afraid of seeing Christ, than of admitting past or current error. I know I am.

So that's another reason why I have to write so much. I have to document where the ideas come from, since you cannot find deep theological research, anymore; and the typical crappy Christian and Jewish scholarship is deemed 'holy', for crying out loud. Would save me time if I could find competence, but since I can't, I have to just do stuff from scratch. So I expect the reader to be skeptical, and do his own homework. So if you find the material true, then you know it for yourself and don't need to quote, anyone. But you can, if you feel you should. It's up to you. Nothing's copyrighted, and I need no credit. This is stuff about God, not humans fighting turf wars.

So God really should get the credit. How else could you have found 'brainout'? So ask Him why you did. I have nothing to do with that. My big worry is that I must do this stuff publicly in order to rein in my sin nature and do my homework, since the material is public; I'd not work so hard at it, if the material were private. And since public, the punishment is greater; I will be judged by God, for what I say, just like anyone else. That scares me, which is a good thing.


2. What Christian denomination are you? No denomination. It doesn't matter. The spiritual life is not lived in accordance with some denomination, but rather as a personal and private matter between God and you. Anyone who 'does' all five of the pan-denominational Elements of God's System is living the spiritual life. Same elements have been true since Adam. Sure, we'll all be wrong on some doctrines. But you know — even if I were 100% right (and we know I'm not), if I'm not doing those Elements my spiritual life is worthless garbage, a lie. See 1 Corinthians 13:1-3. Spiritual life is to learn and live with God, a vertical thing. Whatever needs correcting in a belief en route, only God can do to you anyway. So it's not about what church you go to, what denomination you are, or even whether you call yourself a Christian.

About the most arrogant thing a person can do is think himself good or bad due to his religion, ethnicity, nationality, or culture. People who do that are terminally insecure, and the cause of all wars. We are all wrong on something. So splitting ourselves into nationalities, cultures, ethnic types, denominations and faiths is perhaps of value like one distinguishes colors or plant types; thank God we're not all the same, thank God we don't have one world government or culture! On the other hand, we're all human and that's the connection we all share. Relationship with God is not religion, so let's stop using religion to bludgeon God's Name.


2a. Can I have a 'doctrinal statement' from you to save me reading time? If you must. Here it is, and bear in mind I can change my beliefs at any time, with no warning. If the Bible corrects me on something, I'll change! The following tenets I can thoroughly account from Bible, as well as account why any conflicting claims are not in Bible.

If you learn nothing else from 'my' website, learn this:
Think before God 24/7 using Bible.
That alone is rewardable, for that's how Christ paid for sins.

2 Corinthians 10:5 is the criterion, and Ephesians 4:13 is the maturation goal. Christendom is woefully ignorant of this fact, and will be embarrassed at the Bema. Don't be like them.

2 Corinthians 10:5 καὶ πᾶν ὕψωμα ἐπαιρόμενον κατὰ τῆς γνώσεως τοῦ θεοῦ, καὶ αἰχμαλωτίζοντες πᾶν νόημα εἰς τὴν ὑπακοὴν τοῦ Χριστοῦ

Ephesians 4:13 μέχρι καταντήσωμεν οἱ πάντες εἰς τὴν ἑνότητα τῆς πίστεως καὶ τῆς ἐπιγνώσεως τοῦ υἱοῦ τοῦ θεοῦ, εἰς ἄνδρα τέλειον, εἰς μέτρον ἡλικίας τοῦ πληρώματος τοῦ Χριστοῦ

This is the hardest doctrine for me to accept, but the most provable one. We all know it's about becoming "Christlike". Well, what was Christ like? King. Ruler. Ruling Himself to the point of death, but with thinking. You can't find any good deeds He did, in the Gospels. But you can sure find Satan tempting Him to do good deeds, starting with Matthew 4!

He fattened up on the Word and thus became something, not did deeds. Became, the "WH" in "YHWH". Get it? Became "the Way". Became "the Truth". Became "The Life", then that Life was cut off for our sins, Isaiah 53:8. So all life comes through Him, Isaiah 53:12. It wasn't magic, and it wasn't because He was (and of course still is), God. It wasn't because He was sinless, either. It was because the spirit grew HIM. That's why if you don't use 1 John 1:9 you are committing the worst sin — refusing the Spirit's Power to grow you. Hitler will fare better than you do when judgement comes, if you refuse 1 John 1:9. Guaranteed.

מֵעֹ֤צֶר וּמִמִּשְׁפָּט֙ לֻקָּ֔ח וְאֶת־דּוֹר֖וֹ מִ֣י יְשׂוֹחֵ֑חַ כִּ֤י נִגְזַר֙ מֵאֶ֣רֶץ חַיִּ֔ים מִפֶּ֥שַׁע עַמִּ֖י נֶ֥גַע לָֽמוֹ׃ Isaiah 53:8

לָכֵ֞ן אֲחַלֶּק־ל֣וֹ בָרַבִּ֗ים וְאֶת־עֲצוּמִים֘ יְחַלֵּ֣ק שָׁלָל֒ תַּ֗חַת אֲשֶׁ֙ר הֶעֱרָ֤ה לַמָּ֙וֶת֙ נַפְשׁ֔וֹ וְאֶת־פֹּשְׁעִ֖ים נִמְנָ֑ה וְהוּא֙ חֵטְא־רַבִּ֣ים נָשָׂ֔א וְלַפֹּשְׁעִ֖ים יַפְגִּֽיעַ׃ ס Isaiah 53:13

So the training in Thinking Like Christ is what you are to undergo, and you must be crowned if you grow up. King-sized, for Rapport. Not, to preen. It's scary, it's a killer thought life, and it's the big stumbling block, to have that much responsibility. "As goes the believer, so goes the nation"... and the world. Was true for Israel, more true now, for Church. So obviously you cannot do this training in your own power. Ergo the constant need for 1 John 1:9, learning and living on Bible. Just like He did (sans the 1 John 1:9, since He never sinned).

Morality, murders. All murders are committed in the name of some moral code, whether revenge, to get back something claimed to be wrongly lost, you-name-it. Morality claims a crusading value to justify whatever it does. So that's why Hitler got away with murdering millions of Jews and other 'untermenschen'. That's why so many religious sects are murderous. We don't even need to look but five seconds in Google, to find political causes of one type or another, justifying murder in God's or some other 'noble' name.

Satan is the supreme murderer, and that for a moral reason: He thinks God is unfair. And so God seems unfair, as He murdered His Own Son for our sins. The Son agreed to that, Isaiah 53:10-12. So notice how spirituality is above morality: the former, requires God's Power to enact, and also receives all evil. But is not stupid. Satan would spin self-sacrifice as noble absent reason, so we stupidly do it, thinking ourselves moral. Aha, so still not doing it for god, but for ego. So then we're not spiritual, but fancy we are.

Christ died on the Cross to achieve union in His Humanity with Father. It was the only category of knowledge Christ did not have, as He was required to stay sinless. Ergo 2 Corinthians 5:21, He was made sin — thus getting the knowledge from Father. So it wasn't stupid, what He agreed to do. We were secondary. Father was Primary. John 17, I in you and you in Me. So now He in us so we can be in Him. So the spiritual life is light-years beyond morality, yet outperforms morality, and even seems immoral. That's the paradox, and that's why most people won't believe in Christ or won't stick with the spiritual life, instead bastardizing it into a moral code. Thus, themselves becoming most immoral, for they belittle and thus malign, Father's Plan for Christ.

The Old Testament covenant was for children, theme of Galatians (especially Galatians 3). You did the rituals to associate your body with what metaphors the rituals taught about God, His Nature, Christ's Nature, to celebrate His then-future Payment. So you weren't deprived by the fact He was yet future, on a specific timeline you learned as a child, so knew when He would come. As that time passed, the Jews became jaded, and became tired. They were supposed to learn meaning from the motions, but it became צַו לָצָו (tsav, latsav), as Isaiah puts it in Isaiah 28: movement sans meaning, and they prided themselves on the meaninglessness, how good they were for going through the motions. So, when Christ did come, they forgot the meaning. So, when He came, they couldn't understand the meaning of His Coming. So, they rejected Him.

We Christians, have done the same thing. We pride ourselves on our songs, our works, and have no idea what the Christian life, really is. The Catholics, to compete with the Jews, developed a harried system of rituals, and Christians bought into it; other sects, alike apostate, to compete with the Catholics, came up with their own garbage, and it all came about rapidly, as soon as Canon was completed. Mark's Gospel warned of that, in 68 AD when he wrote it, accusing Christians sotto voce with his εὐθύς and ἐγγύς Rapture-keywords — of being no more ready and discerning, than the blind Pharisees, whose story was highlighted in Mark's account as a parallelism. Pharisees and demons, both highlighted, miracles demanding, miracles abounding, Meaning Never Learned. So by 96 AD when Canon completed, no one wanted it anymore. So, it ended. Just as the Old Testament ended, amidst legalistic apostasy, theme of the Book of Malachi, the last Old Testament book.

So now we wait the Rapture, which of course was trashed along with all other Bible Doctrine, when Canon was completed. And it too, has thus been long in coming, since no one is learning the book, to be made King-Sized in the soul. Now, since Christ has come, there is no timeline, since the goal is Ephesians 4:13, corporate Church maturation — so no rituals, nothing at all like the Old Testament system, even though the goal is the same — for Christ forged an upgraded spiritual life which is wholly internal, for His Soul to become Truth, King-Sized. Same idea, maturation, as in Old Testament. Far higher level, which no set of rituals can properly depict. His Thinking in Writing, instead, that's the New Testament, which of course is founded upon the Old, part and parcel of the Old, yet beyond it. For Christ had to grow beyond the Mosaic Law, which after all was only designed to teach about Christ, never saved anyone, theme of Hebrews 10 and John 6-10.

So the covenant we get, is not the Mosaic Law, theme of Hebrews 5-10, especially Hebrews 7. So the Messianic Jews aren't living the new covenant, but are still saved. So the Christians are trying to live the Mosaic Law as well, and are not living the new covenant, either. Because, they are still trying to compete with the Jews, "crucifying the Son afresh" rather than learning Him, taut sarcasm in Hebrews 5:11-6:6. No one is looking at God's Word. So, the Rapture hasn't happened yet. Like Paul in Ephesians 1:3-14's meter, the writer of Hebrews — writing just after or before Mark's Gospel in 68-69 AD — expected Rapture to happen in 70 AD, when the old Jewish timeline including Temple Time on the Land, ended. At that point, the 54-year, too-early maturation time of Abraham, would have been 'repaid' the Gentiles: except, for the Tribulation.

But Rapture's occurrence no longer depends on enough bodies to fill a federated kingdom. Kings under the King of Kings. That's why Paul and James talk of crowns, why 1 Corinthians 3, Revelation 1-3 are about rewards and privileges: the elite are few, and not finished. Yet.

Many have been saved, so there are enough 'ruled' per kingdom. Bear in mind, anyone dying too young to have rejected the Gospel, is saved. So billions of saved people, exist by now. But there are not enough kings, to rule them. So those kings, only need to be few. So the Rapture occurs when the last of those kings has been internally developed: which can be in the next five minutes, or five thousand years from now, who knows what the 'perfect' configuration of the heavenly kingdom, needs to be. But God knows. And really, Christ prayed that Father decide the matter, in John 17.

So, that's why He told the apostles in Acts 1 that no one knows: He prayed that Father decide it. Deity knows everything, but Deity is free. So even though Christ's Deity knows, it's still for Father to decide, and that decision is yet future, and can be changed. So He knows and doesn't 'know', since Father is free to change His Decision. That He won't change it, does not mean He cannot change it.

For the Bride, is Father's Gift to Christ. So the Bride, is still getting kitted out, theme of Ephesians 4:12-16. And anyone who believes in Christ is part of the Bride, whether ready or not, when the last trumpet of the Church Age, blows, 1 Thessalonians 4:17. By an archangel in Revelation 4:1, not any angel in Revelation after that. So the Tribulation begins when Church is matured. Period. We aren't supposed to be here: Romans 11, because Israel failed, we exist, so let's not get fat-headed — see also Deuteronomy 6 and Deuteronomy 30 — nor antisemitic, as the Romans were and still remain, today.

Israel was fat-headed, so was punished. Because, she was to train in knowledge of God. To learn God, know His Nature, learn and know what He knows. Corporately. That was the purpose of the Mosaic Law. The Mosaic Law taught humiliation, precision, patience, endurance, mostly by doing the small meaningless thing, how to see big God in the little menial stuff. God used a flying oven, not something pretty and fancy, to make contract with Abraham, Genesis 15:17. God used the dead skin on a phallus, "so every time Abraham peed" — as my pastor was fond of saying — Abraham would remember the covenant of sons. Takes a sense of humor, to make the organ of procreation, also the organ of elimination. And frankly, both activities have quite a bit of humiliation one endures to get the payoff, at the end.

Small stuff. Humiliating stuff. War is humiliating, boring, frustrating, terrorizing. Nothing glorious in any of it. So you learn not to be fat-headed, over all the honor and glory you get which God earned, not you. Which other people don't have.

God has everything. Experiences everything. All at once. So how can you get fellowship with God, if you don't learn to live as God does? And how the blazes can you do that, if you don't learn how God thinks? When your sorrows hit Christ, He knew them 2000 years beforehand. As God, He knew them from eternity past. Plus, everyone else's sorrows. Forever. Okay, so don't you have to learn sorrows? To know what it's like for Him to know them, Philippians 3:7-14?

See, it's about learning, not earning. You learn fellowship by the togetherness. In all the high, and all the low. So each moment you live, you suffer something and you get something too good for you. What are you learning from it? What are you learning about God, what is the Holy Spirit teaching you, what practice in what doctrinal skill, are you to receive? These are the test questions, and they are all internal. No bragamonies (bragging testimonies). Half the time, you won't even know what the heck is going on, so have no answers. But now at least, you know the questions. So ask God. And grow up to the Royal Crown appointed to you unless you reject it, theme of Revelation 1-3, 1 Corinthians 3, 2 Timothy 4, James 1.

Mosaic law was a cookie-cutter set of rules, and had the same goal. But now, kings are to be developed, so no more cookie-cutter, it's all individual. Learning to rule. To set the rules for your future kingdom. This is the process Christ went through, and is His Spiritual Legacy to us. Light-years beyond the Mosaic Law, as Paul explains, in Galatians 3-5. As the writer of Hebrews explained, in Hebrews 5-12. As John explained, in John 14-17. As will actually happen, in Revelation 4, which fulfills the 'great ones' clause of Isaiah 53:12. Learning to be a King, requires learning the Thinking of The King. It hurts, all the time; a kind of cross. And there's nothing else you'll want, once you see Him in it. Fellowship. With Him. Not sadism, not masochism, but the same seeking of oneness as Christ Himself sought with Father, which only the Cross could satisfy.

People classify dispensations in different ways, but in all of them the idea of a period for a specific post-salvation contract AKA 'covenant' obtains. The operative covenant "now" (Bible keyword for Church Age), is ours, due to Christ's Victory on the Cross; this covenant began at Pentecost 30 AD, and will continue until the Rapture. It's a complete upgrade versus what Israel had. Upgrade means the old Mosaic Law being fulfilled in Christ, requires a "new covenant". Again, this is the main topic of the Book of Hebrews. Lord vs. Satan Part 2 addresses that legal changeover in huge detail, as it's due to the Angelic Trial.

Anything beyond these basics will become clear as you read these FAQs or webpages. So you'll notice that I'm not any denomination, nor is there any prohibition against being in any set denomination. There are no set rituals, dressings, days, behavioral rules, and no set prohibitions against them, either. Like Paul said, everything is lawful, but not all things are helpful (1 Corinthians 6:12, 1 Corinthians 10:23). Romans 14 says you must determine these for yourself, before God. To your own Master you stand or fall. Everyone else, too.

How much you mature will depend on how you use the Bible you learn and live on, and when we are all assembled at the Revelation 4:1 Rapture trumpet, we'll be graded. Graded on Bible, not on what teacher we listened to, what ritual we followed, what good deeds we did. Graded with results that last forever. We'll all be happy, and we'll all be unequal. For, we each had equal opportunity to grow in Christ. So Fear That Day; it can happen in the next five minutes, five thousand years from now, no one knows. New Testament always thus warns us: Grow up.


3. Why the Bible? First, because it's obvious God exists, so there must be some book which explains Him. All I have to do is look up at the sky, and I know "God" in some definition, lives. This God won't force Himself upon creation, hence you don't see a blimp flying overhead advertising Him. So you can choose to know Him, or not. I choose to know Him, as millions of other humans, because, honey — if this life down here is all there is, it would be better never to be born. If I had no proof of God's existence via even that very daily sky, then I'd commit suicide. Period. Mankind is too puny, to warrant even breathing.

So: of all the alleged holy books out there, only the Bible explains how God gets paid for sin. God being paid, not humans being punished or rewarded. God should be paid, or there's no justice, hence no God. Since the universe clearly did not get here on its own, and since the biggest "set" has to be Infinite Stasis and personal (else there would be no persons), God must exist. Don't need a Bible to see that. Do need something, to explain how this Biggest person gets paid for sin. Bible alone does that, in its 66 books (not 72, no apocryphal book passes the Divine Inspirer test). Find me some other book which shows how God gets paid for sin (and please don't insult intelligence by saying He doesn't need to be paid, justice is due anyone, however Great). Then I might consider some other book.


4. Why are you so critical of Christianity? Because Christianity isn't looking at Bible, but at 'respectable' people, to claim what Bible says. That has always been the problem: parroting what some 'respectable' person said, rather than looking in Bible to see what it says. It's really embarrassing, how we prefer something or someone between Bible and ourselves. Now, I didn't know all that, initially; these pages were intended to merely audit what Bible says versus what is 'out there'. So I didn't intend these webpages to have so much criticism in them, but there is so much false doctrine out there, and particularly, inattention to what the Bible says in the original language texts, I have to say what's wrong, to account for it. After all, if "x" has been taught for centuries and it's wrong, one should say how it became wrong, or at least why it's wrong, so a reader can account for that. Hearsay is of no value. Accounting is of value, even if you don't agree with the answer. Really, the criticism is just to alert. It's amazing that with all the candle wax, uncials or fraktur type, impossible-to-read vowel points and other difficulties scholars have faced — it's a miracle, that they got so much right. Had we been in their place, we'd probably have screwed up more than they did.

The big gripe isn't the errors. It's that the errors are covered up, even repeated, and now there's no excuse for that. We've had computer technology for over 50 years. We've had very good and complete original language texts for about 150 years. So why the teaching emphasis on translations, still? If you want to know God, don't you want to know the real words He empowered the Bible writers to write? Do you know, for millennia people couldn't get what you can get for free even on the internet? God the Holy Spirit enables you to understand these the real tongues He used: just use 1 John 1:9 and study under a pastor who exegetes verse by verse. It's not your IQ, but His you get when you use 1 John 1:9 (filling the Temple in Old Testament, filling your body with perspicacity in the New Testament). You don't roll in the aisle spouting gibberish and pretending it's holy. You Learn The Book in those 'tongues', now. That's the real gift you get by filling. So it's not elitist.

So why are the newer Bible translations in English still as bad as the old ones, if not worse? Why do foreign-language translations copy the English mistakes, rather than true de novo re-translation from the original language texts? No excuse for that. No excuse for the same ol' lies being passed on by alleged scholars and pastors when the truth is now so easy. I swear, if I hear one more History Channel 'documentary' blasphemously state that Peter is the head of the Church, I'll break my TV, then use 1 John 1:9 and be punished by God for my anger (cuz I know better than to get mad, 🤣). (Πέτρα is Christ in the LXX, and in the New Testament, with "πέτρος" being a chip, everyone sane knows that now, so why isn't Matthew 16:18 corrected, 🤬. Refer to Pope Myth.)

I had no idea how blessed I was to get a pastor who taught only from the original language texts. Like every other Christian, for decades I just learned and learned, not realizing that most of Christendom for centuries didn't get what I got to learn. I took it for granted. I also didn't realize how incompetent current Christian scholarship has been, though my pastor warned us of it frequently. How hard is it to read John 3:16 or 1 John 1:9 in translation? They're not wrong, so why is it no one realizes it's believe only to be permanently saved? Why is it no one knows you cannot be filled with the Spirit while in a state of sin? Is not 1 John 1:6-10 clear enough, even in translation? I guess not!

So it's been a real eye-opener, to see how incompetent Christians have been, at teaching and understanding. Worse, a lot of them are sheer liars, using their personality or degrees to rope people. Always there will be a money reason. Catering to those who have money, or trying to get yours. It's positively disgusting, and the lies are easily proven within five minutes of Bible study.

But no one consults the Bible. Oh no. The Bible's own plain text isn't good enough — gotta have some 'expert' bless it with a meaning. Never mind, only the Holy Spirit is the Expert and the human 'experts' don't consult Him. That's why we can't count to three. That's why respectable scholars using their credentials, get away with ignoring the "nights" term in both Matthew 12:40 and Jonah 1:17, blithely saying that oh the three days are partial. Oh yeah? How are you going to get to the third day, until two nights have fully passed? And until that third day has fully passed, how you gonna get to the third night? Of course, if you did the count properly, you begin Nights First, and then you get the Truth as God told it to you: Wednesday Night, Thursday Night, Friday Night — thus now Thursday and Friday have passed, so now Saturday can occur. Thus ends the three days, and on that Saturday after sundown, begins the Jewish first day of the week. So aha! Now all those "on the third day" verses are consistent with Matthew 12:40, since after all it's Jewish Time you're measuring! For when you measure as the Bible tells you, then the third day occurs after the third night, and now it all makes sense! End dispute! But the 'experts' don't care about Bible; they care about human approbation. So they sell their souls to chop down the Word the Word gave us — so not to offend any of their fellow apostate humans. Humans have money, see. God's currency doesn't count down here.

Or how about this gem: to excuse the refusal to truly translate Bible from the original language texts, the extant translations are looked at for their alleged 'expertise' — and then of course slavishly obeyed. Yet called a "new and fresh translation" from the "Autograph"? Liars! So you just shelled out another $50 for yet another Bible translation, only to find out it's the same as the translations you had. And instead of smelling foul play, you are told the smell is "vindication" of the previous translation. Oh? Then why do a new one? 🤦

See the scam? Bible publishers need to make money. Bibles tend to stay around for decades, centuries, so in order to sell more Bibles, well — gotta come up with a gimmick. If indeed the 'new' translation were good, then it's money well spent, to buy it. But the new translations preserve most all of the errors in the old ones, and additionally make many more errors; all the while, claiming to be 'new' and 'fresh', "from the original language texts". Rubbish.

Then when caught in the lie, the lame excuse is given: Oh, the congregation is used to hearing the old translation! Yeah, so if the old is wrong, then you keep on teaching it wrong? Do these people have no conscience? And yet they are teachers? You realize, I hope, that thousands of 'scholars' and 'pastors' use this line of logic. God is not important, see. Only one's reputation.

Or how about this elitist gem: oh, better to rely on past experts! Oh, and what is the Holy Spirit — chopped liver? Is He inferior to those mere men of the past? Most 'scholars' are busy consulting everyone but God. Listen to them talk. Subscribe to their blogs, their newsletters. It's all about patting each other on the back. God is nowhere in sight.

See: this is how Bible comes to stay mistranslated for centuries. Perpetuated Errors. Never mind that the old translations reverse God's Word in the original language texts in thousands of verses. Ahhh, always bending to man, never to God. Makes you want to puke.

Good thing God put his Original Word in writing, huh. Free. Consistent. Preserved. Just learn it as He wrote it. As time passes the real Word will come to circulate in your soul, and the translation will only be adjunctive. That's how God intended it. After all, doesn't He know what Words He commissioned? Why should you settle for less? He won't settle for less: you know that, because He preserved the original language texts. Guaranteed.

And because the Holy Spirit is the Expert, when you use 1 John 1:9 and study under a pastor brave enough to teach you those original language texts, you can see what Bible says for yourself. Thus you come to see many of the scholars and teachers are liars. Just as warned by Paul, Peter, Jude, John. Wolves dressed in wool with big smiles and wallets, beguiling everyone with their degrees and glad handing. Just like Laodiceans. See: Bible warned us in advance. We see the same garbage games played by 'scholars' as had always been played with respect to Bible, ever since Moses warned about it, beginning in Deuteronomy 1.

You're stuck with these 'scholars'. They sold out to human approbation alleging it was 'scholarly' to do so. God still uses them, even as He used the Pharisees. Like the Lord said, listen to them, learn from them, but don't do what they do — instead, go to God for the real answer. He'll always show you where they are right and where they're wrong. So they end up being used to save your time in research. He gives you, what He wanted to give them, had they not copped out. That way in heaven they can breathe a sigh of relief their lives weren't wasted. God deployed someone else to pick up the baton.

Consequently, all this white-lie 'scholarship' makes for long detours in my webpages. For I must account for the mistakes which are correctible, and the lies which are not. One must document: show how the mistakes got made and perpetuated, versus what the Bible actually says. Hence the webpages and the exegetical videos focus on tracing out what is popularly said, versus what Bible says in those original language texts. That way you see directly for yourself what it says. If you're using 1 John 1:9 while you read, Holy Spirit will attest. So if I too screwed up somewhere, He'll attest to that. And if not, then you know I got it from Him, so it's never any merit of my own. Else I'd have no courage to write or make videos!

Just as in West Point: see where the 'experts' blundered in the past, so you don't repeat those mistakes. Then the baton is passed, instead of dropped. We all make mistakes. No shame in that. Big shame though at the Bema, if we don't wake up to those mistakes. Covering up mistakes is bad. Lying is bad, especially since many of these people make money by lying against the Word of God. He doesn't believe in Crusades, else He'd not have entrusted His Word to a sliver of ground connecting three continents. So Accounting, not crusading, is the way to 'criticize'.

In sum, be skeptical but stay open. Skeptical of your own understanding, and of anyone else's (mine included, obviously). Always use 1 John 1:9 and ask God about whatever you are studying. Study hard. Learn from the Very Words God Preserved Which Christ Learned. Christ's Thinking as Humanity is the New Testament, so others writing those books attest to Him. God will always Vindicate His Word, no matter how many nice people spread their misunderstandings or white lies. Trust God: everyone else has to pay cash upfront.


5. Why so much emphasis on the Angelic Conflict, on Satan's strategy and tactics? Because that was one of the many beliefs which changed as I wrote these pages. I was testing what I'd learned about the panoramic meaning for our creation by God in the first place. While doing that, I kept on finding empirical data proving satanic involvement in a set of recurring patterns, be they in history (historical trends), mistranslation and misinformation, etc. While I realize some people find the topic of angels and demons titillating, I don't get excited about it. Humans just can't be the topmost intelligent life. So to me the existence of unseen demons and angels is not exciting. I can't see the mitochondria in my own body cells, either. Science can't test supernatural activity, but like the wind, you can. You can see the effects of the wind, and then know the wind caused them. You can see the effects of supernatural activity and know supernatural beings caused them. Authors like to sign their work. Demons are nothing, if not egotistical, attesting to their involvement everywhere. Satan's Counter to God: 'Script' Strategies and Tactics summarizes how they sign their work, shorter summary is also below.

Seven 'signature' characteristics pervade demon-sponsored stuff, whether it's the Mothman thingy (which really happened in 1967, a mass hallucination), UFO / ghost stuff, Bible mistranslation, or any fake holy book:

    1. Some verse or doctrine or concept in the Bible is satirized in a very pointed way. Thus you are mocked for not knowing the Bible and getting the joke.
    2. The satire always plays on Greco-Roman pantheonic culture with emphasis on sex, emotionality, and above all (in writing) a studied ambiguity like the Delphic Oracles. Of course, the standard 'religion' throughout history is some variant of this model, and "Greco-Roman" is the morphing.
    3. The character of God and the prescribed worship of Him is always portrayed in a silly, Benny Hill-like (or Three Stooges) slapstick manner, and then called 'holy'. Idea that if you don't behave stupidly, you're unfaithful.
    4. The satire always mocks those who believe in #3's prescriptions, especially in the wordplay of the holy book. God is mocked, his alleged faithful of the past are mocked, and the ones believing in the holy book's claims are mocked. Real God wouldn't author a book like that, obviously.
    5. All the above is subtle, all at once. You have to know Bible's doctrines and keywords, to 'get' the joke.
    6. Strong emotionality is used (i.e., the beauty of the recitation's sound), with appeals to culture, tribe, people, rituals — to hook you into the tenets.
    7. The satire always blatantly contradicts common sense. Thus if you believe in the tenet, you are rightly mocked.

So it does matter to show the supernatural strategies and data demons provide, so the reader can make his own decisions. It also matters, because these tactics are practiced on all humanity, so it helps to notice them. You can't 'fight' them. But you can become wise about them. None of us is exempt from their influence; we all are pawns in this thing. Their tricks play differently on the Muslim versus the Jew versus the Christian versus the Buddhist versus the UFO enthusiast, atheist (etc.), but there's a common set of characteristics much like a fingerprint, in all events.

Again, to me this is dull work, not at all sensationalistic. The supernatural is natural to a supernatural being. I'm quite certain that a spider thinks I'm god by his standards (so to speak): but my superior ability versus that spider's, is normal for me. So I'm not interested in proving to people that God and angels/demons exist. If you don't know that already, anything people write will not convince you. Most people believe a devil of some kind exists. Ok, then: what's being done? On whom? Why? For what goal? Etc. The reader is free to reject or accept what he wants. I'm only interested in accounting for it, so that my own beliefs can keep on refining, get corrected. Truth is what it is. I want to know it better, that's all.


6. Why so much emphasis on God designing time in 490-year increments? Is that Bible codes? Does it prove God's Existence? No, because if you don't want to believe in God, no amount of miracles or other stuff will be valid or useful to you. Don't believe or disbelieve in God because you think you see some miracle. Then you want a circus clown, not God. So no, this isn't Bible codes, either. It's a structure of Time itself, the criteria God discloses in Bible. God set up time in 490-year increments as a kind of schedule, and His Promises are timed to that schedule. A believer on earth must be awarded time in order for the world to go on breathing. Bible discloses who these people are, discloses the 490-year structure and its tandem 1000-year civilization unit, just as it discloses a calation, growing seasons, etc. It's not meant to be titillating, and only has prophetic value in some instances i.e., God accounts in Daniel 9 for the First Temple's 490-year shortfall, reprising Isaiah 53's Hebrew meter.

We really must admit this centuries' long error in reading Daniel 9 — because we make God out to be a liar, if we do not. Graciously, God still caused the 'scholars' to come up with approximately the right conclusions; but arguments over Daniel 9 still show how bad, the scholarship of those rightly concluding Daniel 9 depicts Messiah's arrival date. Once you correct that scholarship, no one can dispute it anymore. So that's what Mirroring, God's Orchestration of Time, and Ten Ways this Timeline differs are intended to prove. "Mirroring" explains the principle and play of God's Construct for Time; "God's Orchestration of Time" demonstrates it using only Bible's dating system in the same order as Bible presents the data; "Ten Ways this Timeline differs" presents an analysis of that data, and how the scholars got it wrong. So you can decide whether to even read the foregoing links, the following bullets summarize the bigger 'scholar' gaffes.

How embarrassing, the Bible refutation of this Palm Sunday notion. We have a decree from Cyrus and a few from Darius, in the Bible. But none, from this Xerxes, for Nehemiah. Hmmm. Something's fishy in Denmark. If God meant to date from this decree, why is it not mentioned, but the others are rather pointedly mentioned, whole chapters of the Bible spent on them? You realize, of course, that the entire Book of Esther is there to prove how God kept his Daniel 9 promise. So if this Xerxes is the 'decree' from which we are to date Daniel 9, then why the sudden silence?

Of course one wants to assume Xerxes, due to the 'coincidence' of the year: but the Bible already tells you Jerusalem was rebuilt — after it was rebuilt, the walls were burned down again, see Nehemiah 1:1-3. Bear in mind, this situation occurs a good 70 years after the Temple was rebuilt. So there had to already be a city, to service the Temple.

Now, because we want Palm Sunday to be the ending answer, we'll read into Bible what's not there. And when we need further corroboration for this lie we're creating, we'll have to manipulate what "year" means. That's why we mis-measure based on lunar calendar, to 'fit' the desired result for Palm Sunday. 483 × 360 = 173,880, then count backwards from Palm Sunday, and deem that the day of Xerxes' decree! Magic! Or, estimate when this non-recorded non-existent decree 'happened' then do the same calculation, then find what Bible-significant date it might reference, and voila! Bible proved right!

Um... but no king ever used a lunar calendar for civil administration. Civil calendars had to be intercalated, always. So if a human king's decree, then the measurement should be solar, not lunar. Bible only uses solar accounting for multiple years: for like kings do, Bible bases its dating on people. People have birthdays. Birthdays are only measured in solar terms. Oops.

Wow, many internet sites claim that His Ride on Palm Sunday was 483 years "to the day" of Xerxes' decree. And all of them are based on a one hundred year old book which was an estimate by a nice guy in Britain. So for 100 years+, no actual Bible research has been done. Instead, this guy who was only guessing, is touted as if he were the Bible. That's unfair to the guy who wrote the book, to make him the Book. He's probably screaming from heaven now, "Stop treating my book as if it were Holy Writ!" Calvinists treat Calvin as if he were a pope, and we see how bad their scholarship becomes. We Dispensationalists have our own popes; when we put them on pedestals, our scholarship also tanks. As here: our "Palm Sunday" claim is provably manipulated, what bad scholarship.

Okay, so where in the Bible do you get that Palm Sunday justification? Nowhere. By the time Nehemiah even heard about the walls, Jerusalem had long been rebuilt. So the story furnishes an anecdotal statement that hey, God's Decree for Daniel 9:25 got met because here's this Nehemiah person rebuilding again what was already rebuilt. So you can't do the countdown in days from Nehemiah's arrival. That's not the reference point. So it can't conclude at Palm Sunday. So this Palm Sunday nonsense is not in Bible, but is fabricated by people who can't read Nehemiah very well, to make the Bible Look Good. It's called "cooking the books" in modern accountancy, which is why Enron fell. Get that? Don't Cook the Bible's books! Hey, honey — Bible looks just fine without your claimed cosmetics. Κόσμος-etics. Emetics. Okay?

So in Nehemiah, we find another threat, just before the Daniel 9:25 timeline was to begin. Different kind of Bible proof that the "rebuild" promise God decreed got met. Overlooked, because people think Daniel 9:25 is a human king's decree, and straining to find such a king, mis-measure the years to make 'em 'fit'. How sad.

446 BC = 586 - 70 - 70, which is God's Accounting System. So that's why Nehemiah 6:15 matters. To show that rule in Daniel 9:25 is met. And your big clue is, that Nehemiah repeats and then summarizes, Daniel's own prayer (compare Nehemiah 1:5 to Daniel 9:4ff).

This is a second threat. Nehemiah knows that the 49 years of Daniel 9:25 are to begin at the end of that year (the end of 446 BC, specifically in Chislev). So he's in a position to rebuild the suddenly-down walls, in the very year that the 49 years are supposed to start counting, beginning three months later. So Nehemiah 1 tells you that a last-minute attack by Satan was employed to stop Daniel 9:25's countdown, from beginning.

And that countdown doesn't tie to Palm Sunday, but to the Cross, just like Daniel 9:26 says (Messiah being cut off, not riding in on a donkey). Ties to the very day of the initial Passover which Depicts Messiah's Payment.

My pastor spent a lot of time on "Palm Sunday Politics" (his term). Now I know why. Notice how the exact prediction of the cross gets erased in favor of a flashy kingship entry. That's exactly what my pastor warned against. Naturally, he (and others) kept on saying that Daniel 9 ended at the Cross, never on Palm Sunday, and that the Lord died on true Passover. Yeah. So this new 'fad' from an old book which mis-measures Daniel 9, should be squashed. Don't need its assumptions to validate Daniel 9 to the very day, as you'll see if you keep reading.

When a scholar or pastor admits he made a mistake, it's refreshing. You thus know you can trust the person. For you know that mistakes will be admitted. I must confess, I got used to that, for whenever my pastor found what he considered a past error he made, he'd tell us the error, and what Bible verses corrected it. It took him seven years to teach Ephesians; in part, because he felt he'd missed key information in the prior exegetical 'pass' on a verse. He came to regard all that he'd taught before 1985, as too inferior, by comparison. Fortunately, he was dissuaded from pitching all that prior sterling exegesis and insight.

So it's no shame to admit error; no shame in using 1 John 1:9 to God, so less than no shame in admitting an error to other people who also err. Rather, it makes the sheep more secure. For they can trust you to fess up. So let's fess up, here.

Oh no, not clear to those out of fellowship who always cut God's head off and put man's on top! And surely one goes out of fellowship, to prefer a wrong interpretation by some 'scholar' over 100 years ago or currently, versus the Very Clear Bible Words in Daniel 9:24-25! You realize, of course, this proves no one looked at the Bible, but instead just kept quoting that old scholar, over and over. The guy is in heaven now, and I bet you he wants his error, fixed!

I mean, these verses are famous. I must have lost months trying to vet the various 'kings' who made decrees about the Temple or related to Jerusalem, just like the scholars did, relying on those scholars to be 'right'. Instead of, Checking The Bible Myself. So in frustration, at last (!) I gave up and asked God Himself, "Okay, Dad, what does this mean?" And then almost instantly was alerted to the word "decreed" in Daniel 9:24. Oh boy. Could it be plainer? Ouch, and Thank You, Dad!

So Daniel 9:25 simply tells you the order of the accounting pieces, but not all of the accounting pieces are mentioned in that verse. It merely says that the 7 and the 62 'sevens' won't play, until Jerusalem is rebuilt. For the decree that she be rebuilt is in Daniel 9:25b, just after the sevens are mentioned. So yeah, Nehemiah 6:15's important so you know when God kept His Own Decree. Has absolutely nothing to do with Xerxes, except to tell you when this was; so you know God met His own Decree On Time. All prophetical fulfillment verses have the same role.

"But that's a two year variance!" someone will say. Actually, no. Nehemiah 1:1 tells you he gets the word late in 446 BC. So the typical 'scholar' claim of Longiamanus' permission of 445 BC, is fine. Just remember, that a 'year' was measured starting in Nisan 1. And indeed, if you measure from Nisan 1, you mathematically balance to 446, since you're starting 445 at its beginning.

Daniel 9:25 lists only two of the five accounting pieces from 586 BC forward. The last of the five, is in Daniel 9:27, but the first one, the "70" in Daniel 9:2, is a Mirroring AKA Restitution piece — so it plays twice.

So why do we use a human's interpretation from over 100 years ago, rather than God's Clear Text in the very verse? Embarrassing! Okay, it's normal and human to make mistakes. Nothing to be ashamed of. But there is much to be ashamed of at the Bema if we in the 21st century, don't fix those mistakes. Mistakes are inevitable, like adversity; coverups are optional, like stress. Coverups are evil, denigrating God and His Word in order to cover up some 'respectable' person's mistake. So now all those past scholars are yelling from heaven, "Take away my reproach! Fix my errors!" So shouldn't we do that? Wouldn't we want the same favor, done for us?

Same but more true, for balancing God's Books. Event character is the first thing you must audit, if you hope to get a right interpretation. So look: the Exodus is based on what? Killing of the firstborn the night before. And who is the FirstBorn to die on its anniversary, which the holiday depicted? The Lamb Slain From The Foundation Of The World, which Abel depicted in his sacrifices. Okay, then the end of Daniel 9 will be the Cross, not Palm Sunday, just like Daniel 9:26 tells you. Sheesh. So nothing in prophecy will be dated except based on precedence, and every Bible date you'll find is exactly so referenced: birth to birth, death to death, exodus to entry, entry to exodus, salvation to payment, just like Isaiah 53's Hebrew meter tells you. So if anything, Palm Sunday is an archetype for the Second Advent, or an anniversary of David's entering Jerusalem (can't prove that). So Palm Sunday is certainly not dateable, so not to Daniel 9, which is based on the Cross.

Yeah, and all of them claim the political restoration of Israel fulfills God's prophecy — again, Trying to Make The Bible Look Good — oh, and make a little moolah at the same time. Bible proves Israel's being back in the Land rather fulfills Satan's shub goal, not God's, in Matthew 24, Daniel 9-12, Revelation 11. Jews now all huddled together, no longer protected by the Diaspora! We still gladly give our lives for Israel's defense, be she formalized in a nation or no — but let's not aid her enemies by pretending this is the fulfillment of Ezekiel 37, which only happens at the Second Advent. However, the world practically forced them to go back, so if not Israel, persecution would have continued. Duh, dry bones are of dead people. So all the Old Testament people are resurrected at the Second Advent, and come back with us, else it cannot be all Israel. See also Revelation 19:11ff, where the Ezekiel 37 'army' of all resurrected Israel is included, headed by the One On the White Horse. So that naturally leads to Ezekiel 38, which is on Armageddon's last battle that same Day of the Lord, so of course Ezekiel 39ff ties to Isaiah 61ff, with Isaiah 63:1-9 being the bloodbath on that first Day.

So we serve Satan's goal when we arbitrarily count backwards from 1948? To what? To a convoluted matrix of dates we have to make up, since they won't balance to Bible: 1948-490 or 476 = 1458 or 1472, no 'independence' or 'founding' match, etc. When you compare how God matches event character since Adam, you'll see how this 1948 junk advertises itself to be from Satan. Flee it. The purpose is to lull the Jews into thinking they're back in favor with God so they'll disobey Him and rebuild the Temple on their own. That's always been Satan's goal since 70 AD.

And then we have the gall to call ourselves 'faithful' believers. Yuck. Now, the panderers of this garbage include some pretty respectable people. Yeah, and Satan is respectable too. Sorry, when someone makes money from claims which are patently anti-Bible, the scholarship so bad both speaker and hearer should be red in the face — you can't speak kindly. People are being fleeced, and the Bible is being trashed.

Even a brainout can tally up the begats in Genesis 5. Even a brainout can do simple math on the Bible's dates and prove the above to be either errors, or outright chicanery, Ephesians 4:14, Hoshea 4:6! So do yourself a favor: use 1 John 1:9 and ask God if what you're reading is valid. I always look first for Gospel presentation, then the interpretation of Israel, two doctrines Satan works hardest to distort (Rapture's a subset under "Israel", as Tribulation belongs to her). So any Gospel claim other than John 3:16's text, i.e., "heart" belief (🤣 the heart only pumps blood); or, verbs added to "believe" — flee! If the person can't even get Gospel right, nothing he says will be accurate unless parroted from a third party. Likewise, any claim Ezekiel 37 is fulfilled by 1948 founding of Israel, see 2 John 9-11. Ask God, okay? Lie Detection Litmus Test for Anything: if it's popular and sold for money by 'respectable' people, something's radically wrong with the information. Respectability and popularity are Satan's two 'legs'.

So I must spend a lot of text explaining God's Accounting System so you can test it; you don't have any other way to analyze it, as nothing's yet written by anyone else for comparison. Yet this System was well known by the Bible writers (Moses, David, Isaiah, Daniel, the Lord, Matthew, Luke, Paul, writer of Hebrews all provably used it). Somehow its doctrine got so lost, even the Jewish calendar is off by about 200 years. Hopefully now that we have computers and can do the research faster, all these things can be corrected sometime during the 21st century.

There are many mistakes being made currently among those who realize a 490-year trend is depicted. They tie the 490 years to events they consider significant, and track from them. By contrast, Bible uses an absolute scheduling from Adam's fall in 4106 BC (Bible starts numbering his days when he fell, not before). So you first go 490 years from Adam, then add 70, etc.

The timeline resets at the Cross, so 1030 is the 1000th-year anniversary, 2030 will be the 2000th anniversary, etc. Mirroring explains why and how, and its tandem God's Orchestration of Time runs the numbers from Adam through about 2640 AD or so, with color coding for the deadlines versus historical events, who got each time grant (up through Cross), etc.

It's an elaborate thing, so it's self-auditing. It's in the Bible, objectively testable, not something invented by 'brainout'. So the author of it is God, not 'brainout'. If you simply repeat or report what Someone else says, that Someone else is the author, not you. The material merely plots what Bible says. You can then see for yourself, its bald interpretation. So it's not 'brainout', but Bible. Different "B". Now, that Someone Else will testify to His Authorship for anyone reading a mere reporting. Also, there are a bazillion world timelines on the internet, so you can fill in dates you think significant and see how they track to the gold (490-year) or green (1000-year) deadlines in the table.

Repeat: this is self-auditing. So you can tell when you screw up, where some 'scholar' screwed up, or where 'brainout' screwed up. Vet With Bible And You Will Know For Sure. Trouble is, no one's done that. Everyone's copying some past 'scholar' or 'respectable' person. Like all those dippy Christians who think the world is only 6000 years old, are getting that from Bishop Ussher — not, from the Bible. For Ussher assumed that Genesis 5 began with initial creation, misreading Genesis 1:2, Isaiah 45:18-19 (which proves that Genesis 1:3 and following occur after some undefined gap in time); Ussher thus misreads Genesis 5 to think Adam's days began 930 years prior. No, Hebrew text for Adam doesn't tell you that, though it's real easy to miss the wry wording if you're not looking for it. The Bible by contrast does tell you birth-death for everyone else in the roster, so should be read as direct, lineal descent without gaps.

In short, we've screwed up our report of what Genesis 1 means for centuries. But now, some few have had the courage to admit that, and now the "gap theory" in some form or another is at least considered. Proven easily true, from the Bible itself in Genesis 1:2 itself. Okay, the same thing is true about God's True Timeline. Use the Bible itself, not what people say about it, and you'll have more proof of Bible's dating accuracy than you would imagine possible. Of course, those trying to do that will encounter a lot of opposition by those who instead of using Bible, went by wrong scholarship. Sorry. Word is more important.

And for us laymen, we must understand that pastors and Bible scholars have the worst job on earth, always thankless, always having to wrangle over every little thing, as Satan's not slow in masking the truth. So let's cut them some slack when we find errors. Let's not conclude that we 'can never trust scholars again', or crusade against some pastor who got it wildly wrong, etc. They are human, and under far more pressure than we are. Were we in their place, we'd have made the same or worse errors. Just note the error, and pray for God to privately cause them to understand it. That's one reason why you won't see me name names as to who got it wrong. (Frankly, everyone gets it wrong on something, myself included.) Spit happens. So clear away the spit, keep on, Philippians 3:14.

Obviously this masking has to involve a supernatural effort on Satan's part, for thousands of 'scholars' to misread in the very same way, the very same verses. Yes, it's our fault; but, we've had 'help'. That's why The True Timeline could 'hide' in plain sight for centuries. Why, two of the most popular Old Testament verses, Daniel 9:24-25, can be mistaken as calling for a human king's decree, when no human king is even mentioned, and the Only One Decreeing, is God! Why, Daniel 9:24 can be mistaken as referring to 490 lunar years, when God never accounts multiple years that way in Bible: again, He goes by birthdays, anniversaries of events accounted in years of people — hence solar. Oops. Okay, so "ouch, and thank you Dad for the correct answer" Bible gives. Again, the Word is more important, and who cares about the mistakes in the past. That's what 1 John 1:9 is for.

This kind of error is very common throughout Christendom's history: seeing, we don't see; hearing, we don't hear. So the truth always is in plain sight, but we're not seeing it, just as the Jews don't. Same exact reversing pattern of error persists in Bible mistranslation, false doctrines of every type. Because, the primary tactic of Satan & Co. Is reversal. They reverse Bible's original language texts in translation, they reverse the meaning of historical events; they especially reverse the Gospel into works. They enjoy reversing 1 John 1:9 into something an unbeliever does (never mind, John is writing to believers, and only believers in the Old Testament brought sacrifices for sins they had to name to the priest); so, being carnal, we Christians will reverse everything God means.

So the bigger lesson to learn about the reversal of Daniel 9:24-25 from being God's decree into an invented human one, is that Satan & Co. Consider those verses very important. Yeah, they are. Israel misreads them every Chanukah, with the Abomination of a Dumb Dome, staring them in the face. So do we. So our blindness gets satanic 'help'; that's the bigger lesson, here. So we all need to breathe a collective 1 John 1:9 and get cracking on fixing our past mistakes. Only if we keep using 1 John 1:9, do we have Divine Defense against blindness.

6a. Okay, then how did you come up with the BC/AD dates in GeneYrs.xls (God's Orchestration of Time)? Based on what Bible verses? And how did you come up with the 490 + 70 + 490?

Well, I didn't use 'our' BC/AD dates. Rather, Bible dates are derived as functions of x, where x was the Bible verse giving you a formula date in terms of "years from" a person. That was the customary way to date in the ancient world, and even today: your age is measured in terms of "years from" your birth. Becomes a handy method of telling when one person lived, relative to another. So when you have enough persons tallied, only then can you tally BC/AD in our modern terms, because our own calendar has been changed many times (i.e., 10 days chopped out of our calendar by Pope Gregory, and other emendations you can read about in any encyclopedia). The Jewish calendar is even worse, and the Roman calendar is far worse. And let's not even talk about astronomical or astrological calendars. I tried using them all and finally gave up, due to their many internal inconsistencies.

So you can't use anything but the Bible's dating scheme, if you hope to derive a valid timeline. And if you use Bible's dates, you have to use the solar year, because all birthdays are measured in solar terms. So right there you have to throw out any calendar (i.e., the Jewish one) which measures in non-solar years. Bible dates from people, so is always in solar years.

Here's a quick summary on how to find the dates and vet this material in Bible, so you can decide if it's worth your time to do a full proofing.

Exodus is the centerpiece of the Old Testament, so you start there: Bible's dating verses all 'spoke' around the Exodus. So:

  1. When Moses was almost 81 years old (Exodus 7:7 + Exodus 12:1 + the kinds of plagues tell you the seasons so you know the 10 plagues took about a year),
  2. Exodus occurs exactly 430 years to the day that Jacob entered Egypt, Exodus 12:40-41.
  3. Jacob was 130 years old when he entered Egypt, Genesis 47:9.
  4. So the Exodus occurred in what would have been Jacob's 560th year;
  5. So Moses was born about 480 years after Jacob entered Egypt.
  6. The 480th year from the Exodus, 1 Kings 6:1, would have been the 1040th year of Jacob.
  7. Since Jacob left to get a wife when he was 40 (Genesis 28, in context), the Exodus occurs 1040 - 480 - 40 = 520 years after Jacob left to get a wife. Cute.
  8. He got that wife after working 7 years, but it was Leah! So in return for giving Rachel at the same time, Jacob works another seven years to 'pay' for Rachel's dowry (Genesis 29:23-28).
  9. Not until that second seven years ends, does Rachel bear (keep reading in Genesis 29 through Genesis 30:22, count the kids, notice Rachel's complaint and thus you know she married Jacob when Leah did). So at this point Jacob is 54 years old.
  10. Ordered by God, Jacob leaves Laban and Haran six years later, Genesis 30:25 (theme of Genesis 31) compared to Genesis 31:38, Genesis 31:41.
  11. So Jacob is 60, and Joseph is six years old at the time Jacob returns home (ibid). The night before he'll run into Esau (Genesis 32), Jacob wrestles with God, loses, is lamed, and gets his covenant (signified by renaming = adoption, "Israel").
  12. At this point the Exodus is 520 - 20 years away.
  13. When Joseph is age 17, he's sold into slavery, Genesis 37. That's an elapse of another 10-11 years, depending on if Joseph is newly 17 or was nearly 7 when Jacob left. Based on the other numbers, it's likely Joseph was nearly 7 years old when Jacob left, and Jacob is nearly 61 years old upon return (I can't tell which, just yet).
  14. So when Joseph is sold into slavery, Exodus is 490 years away (520 - 20 - 10, taking into account disparate birth months). Aha.
  15. So Jacob was born 560 years prior to the Exodus.
  16. Now Isaac was age 60 when Jacob was born (Genesis 25:26), having married at age 40 like Esau and Jacob would (Genesis 25:20).
  17. So Isaac was born 620 years prior to the Exodus.
  18. We know Isaac was born when Abraham was age 100, Genesis 17:21.
  19. So Abraham was born 720 years prior to the Exodus.
  20. From Abraham backward, the Genesis 5 genealogy takes you sire by sire, all the way to Adam. So now you have a full timeline from Adam through the Exodus, measured beginning at Adam's fall (Genesis 3:22, witty Hebrew birthing preposition מִן min).

Moving forward from the Exodus, which occurs 490 years after Joseph was sold into slavery:

  1. Temple reconstruction begins 480 years later on (2 ?) Ziv, 1 Kings 6:1 + 2 Chronicles 3:1.
  2. That year is the beginning of the 4th year after David's death, per 1 Kings 1:1 - 1 Kings 2:10, 'answered' by 1 Kings 2:39 (3rd year after David died, Shimei is executed). So David lived another seven years, if you do the math (4th year being 480 years after Exodus, means David died in the 477th year after the Exodus).
  3. Since he was 30 years old when he became king at Hebron (2 Samuel 5:4), then he's 70 years old when he retires, but 77 when he dies; end of 1 Chronicles tells you how he spent his retirement years creating the Temple service and related furnishings, architectural design, as does end of 2 Samuel.
  4. So Temple construction begins in the 11th year after David retired, 4th year after he died, 80th year after he was born, which was 400 years after the Exodus; Temple construction completes seven years later, 1 Kings 6.
  5. But Temple's dedicated 3 years after that, 1 Kings 8:1 compared to 2 Chronicles 1-3. So Temple is dedicated 490 years after the Exodus, 480 + 10 = 490. See the pattern?
  6. So Isaiah 53's Divinely-layered Hebrew meter, predicts the early demise of that Temple, by using doubled 126's: first, 126 years after Isaiah writes Isaiah 53:1-4, the Temple will fall; the next 126 syllables (Isaiah 53:5-8) represent Temple's Fall as 126 years short of its own 490 (video demonstration is in the white table, below).
  1. Accounting Adjustment. Temple's Destruction, relative to the Exodus, which occurred 490 years after Joseph's enslavement, is dated + 490 (Exodus) + 490 (Temple Dedication) + 364 (= 490 - 126). So Daniel 9 uses three accounting pieces which also 'balance' to the 126 (70 in Daniel 9:2, 49 in Daniel 9:25, 7 in Daniel 9:27).
  2. Accounting Balance. Thus you know the First Temple lived for 490 - 126 = 364 years. Which you're expected to know in Daniel 9:25, to see the Justice in God's granting 62 weeks (really "sevens", not weeks) for the Second Temple (364 + 70, balances to First Temple time).
  1. Accounting Credit. Note well, it's not New Time until the 62 weeks, hence the 62 weeks is severally accounted. First, the Owed Time is 'paid back'. That's why you know two seventy-year periods play and then the 49, in Daniel 9:25. For both 70's and the 49, are old Time, due the prior time grant to the First Temple, ending 126 years too soon. So those three credits must first play, or the 'time books' won't balance. Problem is, that added 140 years to the amount of Time which must elapse, so there's a net 14-year overage to debit. Daniel 9:27 is thus a reserve, and so is the 62nd week. Chart below walks you through this accounting, which is fully in Isaiah 53, with a summary update, in Daniel 9.

God The Master Accountant:
AKA, How Matching Event character, Makes 70 Buy 140 + 490

Key to Daniel 9's accounting: Owed Time Must Be 'Paid', for Time must 'balance' to its Justice Purpose. Daniel 9 is prophetic, alright, but the important thing to understand is why. Prophecy is always based on Promises, and Promises are always based on Justice. So Daniel 9 is about Justice Accounting. So Daniel times his prayer.

For if no Temple Standing, time stops. So Daniel prays for the Temple to be standing, again. All that comes with the 1 Kings 9 prayer of Solomon and God's Response. Temple represents the contract of 2 Samuel 7. When the contract is in breach, then Time itself is in breach. (Easy to empathize with Israel's negativity, once you realize they knew all Time rested on their shoulders, Deuteronomy 32:8 in Hebrew.)

Watch His Awesome Accounting Genius, so you'll see how man's free will never compromises the Sovereignty or Plan of God. Watch also, for how God repairs and then matches, the character of time spent. He's treating Time like a balance sheet, and He first forecast this 'balancing' treatment, via Isaiah 53's Hebrew meter. Videos below demonstrate this meter. After the videos, you'll see God use the same Isaiah 53 accounting, to craft Daniel 9's numbers.

Isaiah 53 runs 462 syllables total, as you'll see at the end of this video, which shows the raw metering pattern. (Isaiah 53 actually begins in Isaiah 52:13, it was accidentally split due to Stephen Langton's erroneous chapter divisions that everyone now uses.) The big numbers you see in the video show the number of Hebrew syllables for the (gold-)shaded sections. Isaiah Matches The Character and therefore pairs each section by Content (meaning) and (hence) number of syllables (i.e., Isaiah 52:15 is on atonement, and so is Isaiah 53:10, so both sections have the same number of Hebrew syllables, 35). For an explanation of Bible Hebrew meter and how Isaiah 53 derives from Psalm 90's meter, refer here:

Psalm 90 is the hub proof of Dispensationalism. All Old Testament metered passages about prophecy and time, follow the Psalm 90 metrical structure. That structure, is based on God's Rules for Time, since we are in the Angelic Trial. The purpose of Hebrew meter, is to remind the person who learned the text orally, to always remember What Time it was. The meter was needed to be sure you remembered the words correctly, so you'd then be reminded Where You Were In Time, l'moed!

Christianity forgot all that, when it apostatized. There are many more passages than just those two (Psalm 90 and Isaiah 53); but since no one in Christendom knows of this doctrine and can't even tell what Bible Hebrew meter is, it will take time 😏 to cover all the related passages.

Due to Moses' Psalm 90, Isaiah 53, Daniel 9 (and really many other chapters), Israel had a full schedule for Time ever since David's death; by that schedule, eternity should have begun by 94 AD, which in their terms was the end of the fourth 1050 from Adam's fall, which was year 4200. (Modern Jewish calendar is off by almost 350 years, so just use Bible.) There was to be a 57-year hiatus between the end of the fourth 1050-year segment of historical time, 'bridged' by Messiah's timely death, had Israel accepted Him. That's what Passover to Pentecost depicted, the 57-year interval (one year per day), with the Omer commencing countdown on the last (not first or second) day of Passover. If you look at "Civilization 4000 begins, Time RESETS @ 30 AD" to see those 57 years on the calendar since Adam's fall. The believers all knew this. So they expected the Rapture to follow according to the original Schedule. When it didn't happen -- never mind the Lord's warning in Acts 1 -- they became disillusioned.

You need to know New Testament book writing dates which any Study Bible ought to have in its prefaces, to see the rollout of the Rapture warning and its increasing rejection.

Those videos are illustrated by the following two summaries, notice how the same raw meter, functions as a calendar from the time Isaiah writes until the same endpoint as Daniel 9:25:

Here's the accounting. The 70 in Daniel 9:2, is the Condition For Reimbursing Time, paying off the sabbatical years which remained unpaid, though time elapsed. The elapse is overlooked in Christian theology, which dismissively treats the "70" based on the number of sabbatical years within a 490-year period based on the antisemitic Church Fathers' accounting, so of course their conclusions are wrong. Maybe one day we will stop treating those spiritual retards as spiritual giants, and instead look at Bible! Don't hold your breath.

Look: the 70 has a different derivation, per Bible, as follows.

  • As you just saw in bullet "AA", Israel is her 854th year when Temple is razed: Temple's Destruction relative to the Exodus, which occurred 490 years after Joseph's enslavement, is dated: + 490 (= Exodus) + 490 (= Temple Dedication, a Sabbatical Year) + 364 (= 490 - 126) = 854 years. So the 70 doesn't refer to sabbatical years before the Temple was dedicated, or there could have been no Temple. Obviously, since if now God was razing the Temple due to the unobserved years, He'd never have authorized raising the Temple if there were missed years at its beginning. So we know the 70 is calculated from time missed after the Temple is dedicated.
  • That year, was supposed to be a sabbatical year; specifically, the 122nd Sabbatical Year (854 ÷ 7).
  • During the 364 years the First Temple stood, there were 49 years where Israel worked when she should have been resting, which corresponds to the period from Rehoboam to Temple's demise. So this time elapsed, alright, but it's of the Wrong Character.
  • Additionally, during that same time, per Leviticus 25 another seven jubilee years were due.
  • So that totals 56, which is the prominent paragraph syllabification you just saw in the above videos depicting Moses' Hebrew meter for Psalm 90:16-17, and the videos depicting Hebrew meter of Isaiah 53:1-2, Isaiah 53:5-6, Isaiah 53:9, Isaiah 53:11. Deft way of explaining how the sabbatical years missed caused the Temple's demise, huh.
  • So Time is Out of Balance, a debit playing where there should have been a credit. So what's the solution? Double-credit. Watch:
  • That work time is 'owed' 56 years of no work time, because in effect the work time occurred too early.
  • By the time the first 56 years is up, another seven sabbatical years are due on them.
  • So, due twice, equaling 14: due on both 56's, the one worked too soon, and the one just elapsing to 'reimburse' the 'too soon'.
  • So now, 56 + 14 = 70. Thus you see how Jeremiah 25's decree (echoed in Daniel 9:2) is derived.
  • As Isaiah's meter depicts in Isaiah 53:3 + Isaiah 53:4, Isaiah 53:7 + Isaiah 53:8, Israel must now get 70 years twice, to restore the Character and Relationship of the working years, to the non-working years 'due'. All this, before any new Time can be granted.
  • For 126 years of old time, is still owed on the First Temple.
  • Okay, but if playing twice, then (14 + 56) × 2 = 140 added years, not 126.
  • So that leaves an overage of 14. Hence 14 more years must be debited, so Time will balance again: Isaiah makes a pun out of this by deducting 28 from his total meter for Isaiah 53, even though the meter total is derived by counting backwards from the foreknown future beginning of the Millennium (under the pre-Church accounting, had Israel accepted Christ when He came). Summary video:
  • Seven of these years are 'reserved' in Daniel 9:27, to play later, post-balance. Thus new Time must be awarded post-Messiah, else the seven years can never play. Now you know why it says Messiah purchased salvation for all Time (cute sublayer wordplay), Hebrews 10:10-14. And we Church are the bridge back to that seven, Hebrews 11:39-40.
  • As you'll see later on, the second seven is an implicit reserve, allowing Messiah to have the same 40 years' lifetime, as David ruled; it is the 62nd week in Daniel 9:26. Both Messiah and Israel must be given the right of refusal. Israel is foreknown to refuse, though, so when she freely does, the second seven also plays post-balance (64-70 AD). Again, Messiah won this. It's roughly analogous to Laban's deal with Jacob for Rachel: Jacob got to marry Rachel and then work for her. So if Israel accepted, then all would have hung on Christ paying by the end of that added seven years; so a seven-year overage would have been paid for, by its terminus. It's tantalizing to posit that the double sevens here have something to do with the double sevens between Laban and Jacob, but I can't prove any connection.

Now in practice, there will end up being three 70's to play, as noted in Isaiah's own Hebrew metering, 70-syllable clusters in chronological order of Isaiah 53:3-4, then Isaiah 53:7-8, and finally Isaiah 53:11-12. That third 70 is subsumed at the end of the 62 weeks in Daniel 9:25, after the First Temple's standing time is reimbursed (364 + 70), as just noted before this white table. So again, God is reminding Daniel of both the 'accounting' and the 'chronology' Isaiah furnished via his meter.

Frankly this is your key to knowing a) that the sabbatical years are voting periods (duh, Israel had to vote not to work), and b) that the 50-year voting period for the world is literally purchased by them observing those sabbatical years, 490 ÷ 7 = 70 - 10 more sabbatical years occurring inside that 70 = 60, minus the 10 Jubilee years occurring inside that 560 = 50. Thus you see Time itself is designed to 'play' as: 490 + 70 + 490 = 1000 + 50. Simple. Thus you also see why God picked 120 years for voting, in Genesis 6. This is the upgraded-in-Israel version of that. For more on this 70 versus 50 relationship and the historical impact of the voting periods from Adam forward, see #9 of Ten Ways this Timeline differs.

  • See, Israel started on a 490, the Exodus. Temple was dedicated at the beginning of the 490th year from the Exodus. A 70-year voting period was supposed to follow the expiry of its own 490 year grant. But the Temple was razed. So another reason for the 70 in Daniel 9:2, is to show God's balancing ahead to that future period, so it will still occur at the previously-scheduled time.
  • For they didn't vote not to work, so the world was thus 'shorted' its own voting time, hence that voting time had to be made up by what? Voting To Restore The Temple. Thus you know God's accounting from the day the Temple was razed, not from some human king's future decree. Because, God's been telling us what year and time it is, since Adam's Fall. So this is a continuing chronology from Genesis 5 forward, not an out-from-nowhere reference to 490 years. Hopefully by the end of the 21st century, our calendars will be fixed. Or at least, our Bible chronology.
  • So a Time Credit (the sabbatical years) which should have finished, didn't. So Daniel waits to pray until the 49th year had begun, Daniel 9:1. (I can't yet tell if measured from Nisan, or Ab.) If by the time the whole 70 ends the Temple is rebuilt, then the Three Pieces of Owed Time, can play or be reserved: so another 70, then 49, play; but the 7 must be reserved due to the 14-year overage. So Daniel waits until the 49th year to pray: for by then, seven new sabbatical years are 'owed' on the 49 which elapsed between Temple's razing and Daniel's prayer. For you can't 'reserve', what isn't owed. So notice the genius: now two sevens are available for reserve, and the Time 'books' can balance. Notice also how he's allowing for the time it will take to return to the Land. Pray first, then allow time for prayer answer, so they can return in time.
  • That leaves the same 49 which played, to be reimbursed after the 70. For now the seven sabbatical years due on the current 49 have also been reserved to cover Daniel 9:27 +the 62nd week, these current 49 are 'free' to be reimbursed. Reimbursed, because they technically belong to the prior 490-year grant from 950-460 BC on the First Temple. 70 + 49 = 126, time owed on the First Temple.
  • Therefore the seven new sabbatical years due on the 49 elapsing, can be reserved. And are, in Daniel 9:27. So the last seven years of the prior Temple time become the implicit reserve, and the 'owed' sabbatical years on the 49-just-elapsing, are also reserved. Again, the character matches: real time really owed in both events, the 62nd 'week' contingent on volition, the final 'week' contingent on bridging to that last seven years, post-Messiah.
  • Recap: the 56 were past years before the Temple was razed. Took 140 years to 'balance' them, owing to the sabbatical years owed on those 56 which were mismatched in character. So the first 70 cancels out the character mismatch; the second 70, restores the proper character, owed anyway on the First Temple's remaining time; ergo, the double credit. By contrast, the 49 playing during which Daniel waits, are all current sabbatical years. They play during the same period as the 70 which cancels out the character mismatch.

Now: just as it's okay for priests to work on sabbath, so also it's okay for Temple rebuilding and sacrifices, to go on during sabbatical years. For the 70 years during which there is no Dedicated Temple, are sabbatical years. So these 70 sabbatical years justify 490, which is precedented on the root structure for Time being 490 + 70 (voting period) + 490 = 1000 + 50. For the next 490, can't play until the 70 elapses with enough votes. Here, votes to rebuild the Temple. So God's just following His Own rules, since Adam's Fall.

Balance between Isaiah and Daniel. Subtractions: -7, for years running past the Davidic Deadlines (covered below) = 483 = Daniel 9:25. Then further, -21, for Temple rebuilding = 462, the number of syllables in Isaiah 53's Hebrew meter. Notice how Daniel's 483 is forward from that decree made by God (not by a human king, but at least anyone can tell the 483 plays after the second 70, deadline for Jerusalem to be rebuilt). By comparison Isaiah's 462 syllables represents the net addition, including all adjustments for prior years of: a) mismatched character (working years which should have been sabbatical) and b) owed on the First Temple for dying too early.

So now Daniel 9:25's endpoint balances to Isaiah 53's. In Isaiah 53, the Temple had not been razed, so its reconstruction was budgeted. Due to Daniel's prayer, that reconstruction could commence. For the decree to rebuild Jerusalem is in immediate answer to his prayer (Daniel 9:23): that's what Daniel 9:24-25 tell you. So that's why Daniel 9:25 is about after Jerusalem is rebuilt, then count the 483 years. So it's a straight chronology from Temple Destruction, 854 (Israel's 'birthday' when Temple razed) + 140 + 483. So that's why Daniel 9:25 still ends at the same point, which is the 1000th anniversary of David's death, if you crunch the math:

  • For David was born 400 years after the Exodus, and died at age 77, which we saw back in points V-W.
  • David became King of all Israel when he was 37 years old, during Israel's 437th year.
  • So Messiah would have to be born by Israel's 1437th year, since He would have to be born a King over all Israel, as Son of David. That's how you know HE is the Messiah. Matching used to identify. If disparate events are matched in character then you know God is 'in' that matching.
  • David died when Israel started her 477th year.
  • So Messiah will have to die when Israel starts her 1477th year, in order to have the same 40 years as David had; the same 33 years of all-Israel rule, as David had. Again, that's how you know He is the Messiah. Matching used to identify.
  • Hence the chronology of Daniel 9, ends with the start of Israel's 1477th year, namely 854 (year of Temple razing) + 140 + 49 + 434 = 1477, the deadline for Messiah to die. He will end up dying 7 years earlier, but the 1477th deadline allows for 40 years, and for Israel's acceptance.
  • All this was known in Isaiah's day, since David had already died 251 years prior. That's why Isaiah 53 could forecast it, and why Daniel 9 balances to Isaiah 53. Above all, that's why Daniel waits the 48 years (to beginning of 49th), and then prays in Daniel 9.

One man's voting is pretty important, huh. So Your Own Voting To Learn God is pretty important, huh.

So that's why you see: 70 (Daniel 9:2), 49 (Daniel 9:25), 7 (Daniel 9:27). God is accounting for how He'll use the old Temple time, to justify new Temple time. That's why Daniel doesn't ask questions about what those numbers mean; he already knows Isaiah 53 in Hebrew, by heart. God likes His Books to Balance. And He's balancing to the 1000th anniversaries of David's Kingship and Death.

For the final balance test is to 126. Only from that point forward, can a new 490 be justified. So the first future 70 years, are free to play owing to the previous 70 years having functioned to cancel out the wrong timing and character of the pre-destruction 56 + the sabbaticals due on them. That next leaves the 49 free to play, the two sevens having been reserved. So now the entire previous Temple standing time plus its next 70, can be credited, which results in the 62 weeks.

So now we balance back to Abraham. As noted earlier, Abraham had to super-mature 54 — really, 53.5 — years before the Gentile 2100 years ended — or Time would have ended. That happened because Noah's 490-year time grant, ran out in the 2046th year from Adam's Fall (see the entry for Abraham in the GeneYrs.xls worksheet). So the Gentiles are 'owed' 53.5 years, since their time ended early. That time is 'paid' them via Israel ending 57 years early, thus:

  • The 50 years are for harvesting the Gentiles, long a part of the Mosaic Law. Jubilee signified the end of that harvesting, when Messiah would come and begin the Millennium. That's why Christ announces himself using Isaiah 61, in Luke 4:19. That's the Hebraic way of announcing He's the Messiah, the 'Son of Man' promised in Daniel 7:13. (Only Messiah can claim that chapter, as every Jew knew; the "Jesus of Nazareth" miniseries memorialized it.)
  • That 50 years was to occur between Daniel 9:26 and Daniel 9:27, since Daniel 9:27 is the last seven years of allotted Jewish time. So the elapse between Daniel 9:26 and Daniel 9:27, was scheduled to be 50 years, Had The Jews Accepted Christ. Notice how it's not part of the 490 allotment, because it's not Jewish time. Now you know why — it's owed the Gentiles, due to Abraham's early super-maturation.
  • That leaves 3.5 years. So, the Jews get the last 3.5 years of the seven-year Tribulation 'piece' in Daniel 9:27, and that's why it reads as it does. Thus all the time 'owed' the Jews, gets paid. Time of Jacob's Trouble.
  • The first 3.5 years are 'owed' to the Gentiles, therefore, Revelation 11:2: year 4143 (from Adam's Fall) when Christ was scheduled to die — with the seven-year Tribulation still reserved — minus year 2046 when Abraham matured, equals 2096.5 years. For it's really a 3.5 year shortfall (I can't yet prove this, but I'd bet money he super-matured on what's the equivalent of Rosh Hashanah, precedent for Rosh Hashanah).
  • So the first 3.5 years is the flee period for the Jews, kicked off by the Rapture.
  • Now again you know why Daniel 9:27 reads as it does, since obviously the Jews will need to know when to begin the Tribulation counting.
  • Hence Daniel 12's 1290, 1335 days' entries are there, counting backwards from the end of the Tribulation. Jews alive then will be counting from them, just as they had to count during Antiochus IV Epiphanes (the 2300 days).
  • Hence Revelation 11 has the Witnesses keeping people away from the Temple during those same first 3.5 years. There is a 45-day exit window at mid-Tribulation just after the Witnesses are killed by Abaddon, in Revelation 11:7 (1335 - 1290) before the effect of setting up the statue, results in closing borders or whatever the antichrists will do, to pogromize believers.
  • Hence Revelation 12's text on how God protects Israel during the last 3.5 years — she's hiding, then.
  • Of course not all the Jews got smart about it in time, so that's why Zechariah 12-14 read as they do, covering the brave Jewish fighting during the same last 3.5 years.
  • So at the end, Israel's completed her 2100 years, the credit from Abraham is used up.
  • So at the end, Gentile Time is used up to the tune of its own 2100 years, the credit from Abraham is used up.
  • Now, because Israel actually rejects Christ and seven years earlier than scheduled, there's a different 54-year accounting balance to apply, since the above accounting was based on her accepting Christ:
    • She was overbudget 14 years, so: 54 - 14 = 40.
    • The 40 plays from 30 AD - 70 AD, which is technically Gentile time, because it's now Church Age; that's why the Temple remained the added 40 years. For she was supposed to enter the Promised Land in Year One of the Exodus, but rebelled so had to spend 40 more years in the Wilderness. So the tabernacle wasn't in the Land, when scheduled.
    • So this 40 also balances for the time she spent in the wilderness, in effect entering the Land 40 years late, so the allotted time for the land is still met (3 × 490). Because, she was supposed to enter the Land in the first year, but was negative so had to be punished by 40 years' wandering, Numbers 14.
    • Notice how the seven years' early crucifixion of Christ, is subsumed inside the 40. Pattern of Pharaoh's dream. So still the ending time, balances back to Abraham.
      • Israel killed her extra seven years, when she killed her Messiah. That extra seven years was contingent on Messiah being alive, as we saw in the "balance between Isaiah and Daniel".
      • So from 64-70 AD, the 62nd 'week' occurs.
      • Clever way to stress both first and Last David. For the first David was king for 40 years, but only king of All Israel, for 33. The Last David dies when He's 33, so is 'owed' 7 more years.
      • This 7 'owed', plays against the Temple, since Messiah has Left the Building and is the Temple depicted by the Temple, Hebrews 9.
      • And this owed seven years play the same way as David's first seven years: in civil war. Coupled, with Israel's enemies all attacking her too, same pattern as 2 Samuel 5. So notice the mirroring? Playing in reverse order!
      • So look: 2046 from Adam, Abraham super-matures. 4136 from Adam, Christ actually dies, and Church begins. That's 2090 years (really 2089.5).
      • But since Messiah is owed the seven years, it plays during gentile Time, simultaneously.
      • So Israel's Temple and the nation, stay intact until the 40 years are up.
      • So she's in effect still 'paid' those seven years, yet the promised time to the Gentiles, is also still met.
      • So now the Time Books balance anyway, leaving the two 3.5-year pieces which sum is the Tribulation — yet to play.

Balance progression among Moses' Psalm 90, Isaiah 53, Daniel 9, Matthew 1 — all back to Abraham:

  • Moses Psalm 90 only references a single 14, by reserving it in the first 84 syllables in Psalm 90:1-4, but then debiting the Voting Period (466-397 BC) that depends on the Temple time grant being renewed, in Psalm 90:16-17. This was shown in the Psalm 90 videos. At this point, the 40 years' wandering in the wilderness is treated as a debit against Abraham's early maturation, leaving the 14. So if Israel were to vote on time, she'd have a 14-year 'credit' left available.
  • By the time Isaiah writes, this credit has changed. Isaiah illustrates the change by means of three sets of 56's and 70's, as distinct from Moses' single use of the 56. These are prefaced by a clever reference to David's age 77 at death, within what corresponds to the 'decree' section of Psalm 90:1-4, which is in Isaiah 52:13-15. Seven years short of the 84 syllables of Moses, yet also bookended 42's, Isaiah 52:13-14, + Isaiah 53:12.
    • In Isaiah 53, the four verses of this 'decree' are split: three of them are in Isaiah 52:13-15, and the fourth is Isaiah 53:12. To make sure you know that, he parcels out the 84 syllables balancing to Moses, between verses Isaiah 52:13-14, and Isaiah 53:12.
    • The Gentiles being an insertion, enable him to also severally balance to Moses by adding 35 syllables, such that 42 + 35 = 77, David's Age at death, in Isaiah 52:13-15.
    • This Isaiah 52:13-15 accounting is 7 years (syllables) short of 84, first because David had a 7-year civil war to fight, and because he had to live 7 years longer to make up for that, as you'll see in the "David" section. In effect, the civil war and David's living 7 years longer, uses up the 14-year credit from Abraham, by the time he dies. On the other hand, the 'credit' of good time due to him living longer offsets the 'debit' of the seven years of 'bad' time. In modern accounting lingo, this is called 'a contra account'. Bible does it a lot, most obviously with Pharaoh's dream. But in absolute time, 14 more years have passed.
    • The accounting then skips to Sennacherib invasion, in Isaiah 53:1, at its beginning in 703 BC. Two sabbatical years were observed then, Isaiah 37:30. Because of this, Hezekiah gets an added 15 years to live, and so does Israel. Under Manasseh this time gets cut short, but Manasseh repents while in captivity, and is restored. The net shortage of 14 is reflected in the '56' syllables by the end of verse 2, when he's restored.
    • Manasseh's son only lasts a year or two, and Josiah begins to reign. That buys time, but not enough. The decree to destroy the Temple set in motion under Manasseh (2 Kings 21:11-15), is not evaded by Josiah's faithfulness, but it bought time.
    • So the Temple goes down, razed by Nebuchadnezzar, when you count the syllables to Isaiah 53:4's end; at that point it had 126 years remaining. That's why Isaiah 53:4 reads literally in Hebrew, 'God, Violated!' Dual-entendre, for the passage is about Messiah being Sacrificed, with the precedence of the Temple being Sacrificed, at the end of the verse, which was 586 BC.
    • So notice:
      • You have a 14-year debit under David,
      • Followed by another 15-year debit for Hezekiah (treat this as 14, since the promise was made at the beginning of Hezekiah's 14th year, 2 Kings 20:6).
      • Offset by a 14-year shortfall under Manasseh,
      • Offset with another 126-year shortfall due to early Temple demise.
      • So at this point the remaining credit is: 126 + 14 - 14 - 14 = 112, the number of syllables more in Isaiah 53, than in Psalm 90.
      • So you see: via meter, Isaiah balances to Moses' sabbatically-metered accounting. It's very evident.
    • Isaiah 53:5-6 thus show 56 syllables, to correspond to the true number of missed sabbatical years, as noted above: 49 of them were actually missed. But on those 49, another 7 were due. So the next 56 years span from Temple destruction to Cyrus' death, and also illustrate the 'offset'.
    • So by the beginning of verse 7, the 112 credit is whittled down to 56.
    • But there remained 70 years owed on the original Temple Time grant (950-460 BC). So to balance to the promised time (assuming Temple rebuilt), time goes over by 14 years, at the end of verse 8 (which is 460 BC). That's okay, since there is an initial hanging credit from Abraham of 14. See the precision?
    • Hence Daniel prays at the beginning of year 49 of exile (Cyrus having taken over near the end of 539 BC); the exiles return in year 49, and begin construction at the beginning (Ziv) of year 50, Ezra 1:1, Ezra 3:1, Ezra 3:8. Which means, the extra 7 years due on those 49, haven't elapsed, but the 49 'owed' years have elapsed. So that's why '49' is referenced in Daniel 9:25 as a reimbursement credit. That's also why the remaining 7 is reserved in Daniel 9:27. It can't play. They are rebuilding, now, and they must start rebuilding, since the 49 years are up.
    • So that's why Isaiah 53:5-6 is 56 syllables, and tallies to the endpoint which will be referenced in Daniel 9:25. Of course, the rebuilding is in trouble, so the seven years end up elapsing in the wrong way, due to fighting over whether the Temple will be rebuilt. Still, at this point the 14 years still owed on the First Temple, also haven't played. So it's okay for time to continue that much longer. So that covers the period 530 BC - 14 = 516 BC, when the Temple is finished. Cute, huh. Now you see again, how the '70' is derived.
    • Moreover, since 56 years really elapsed, they can be reimbursed. So now, Isaiah 53:7-8, another 70 years passes from 530 BC. That takes you to 460 BC, and the 'time books' for the First Temple, are balanced. Again, notice: Jeremiah 25 and 29's Decree of 70 does not mean 70 missed sabbatical years. This sum is 56, but the actual missed years is 49.
    • So where stand the credits and debits? Well...
      • At the beginning of Isaiah 53:7, the credit (leaving out Abraham) was 56.
      • That, coupled with the 70 years owed the Temple, raised the credit to 126, which thus balanced to the years owed on the First Temple.
      • Paying off those years would result in absolute time going 14 years over, but then Abraham's remaining early super-maturation credit, balanced.
      • So the remaining credits and debits are 0, by 460 (end of Isaiah 53:8) and 397 BC (end of Isaiah 53:10), respectively.
      • That leaves only the 7 years due on the initial 49 missed-but-now-reimbursed sabbatical years. So Isaiah debits the 7 syllables from Isaiah 53:9.
      • He does this as another contra account. Just as David's living longer generated a 7-year 'good' credit to offset the 'bad' civil war, yet pushed time 14 years over, so also Temple Rebuilding generates a 7-year credit.
      • So instead of Isaiah 53:9-10 equalling 70, it's 63. In real time, that takes you to 397 BC, when the voting period ends, which was the end of Moses' Psalm 90 sabbatical meaning (since Moses measured time from Adam via the 70-year voting periods).
      • So now Isaiah balances to Moses in that second way (the first having been in absolute promise time, 460 BC).
      • So now the non-elapsed 7 years due on the 49, is 'financed' by real Temple rebuilding time. Because, the world gets time to live due to the Temple, standing. That's why Isaiah 53:9 and Isaiah 53:11, sum 56 years, stressing the fact that the actual 7 reserved, can only play after Christ comes to pay (Isaiah 53:11, basis for reserve in Daniel 9:27). So now you know why Daniel 9:25 says '49', not '56'.
    • Thus you have three 56's to reference the 14-year overages on:
      1. Hezekiah credit offset by Manasseh, Isaiah 53:1-2.
      2. The 56 years from Temple Destruction to Cyrus' death, showing the extra 7 years owed (49 missed sabbaticals +7 years owed on them) — won't be paid.
      3. Finally, the two 28's in verses 9 and 11 show the initial 14-year overage on the first David, persists after the last David, dies.
    • Which 14 years is 'made up' by the initial credit from Abraham. So Isaiah's double debits of 7 syllables from the 84 in Psalm 90, and from Isaiah 53:9, show this added 14 years is made up by the time Messiah dies. And also, warns of Him being rejected by the Jews and thus dying earlier. Because, He's successful on the Cross, and hence buys the Time, Galatians 4:4. Buys the Time, at the End of Time, and In Time for Time to continue for All Time, Hebrews 10:10-14.
    • Thus you have three 70's to reference how these overages end up at the 'net' 14:
      • Although Manasseh was bad, he did repent, so the 14 years is reimbursed to him, in Isaiah 53:3; then came 'good' Josiah. The latter's sons were not good, but until the fourth generation they last. So Isaiah 53:3-4 total 70 years.
      • In Isaiah 53:7-8, the Temple gets rebuilt, so the initial Jeremiah 25:12 judgement 'loan' being repaid, the 70 years can be reimbursed — which then balances the Temple time books to Moses' Psalm 90:17, as noted above.
      • The third 70 is Isaiah 53:11-12, to show that the 14-year overage from the First David, remained for the Last David, to successfully Pay for Time. Balanced by, the remaining 14-year credit on Abraham's early super-maturation.
    • So the single 14 which Moses used in Psalm 90, is paralleled with a single (ending) 14 in Isaiah 53. The total added debit was 28, gross, so Isaiah 53 equals 490 - 28 syllables. Offset by the two contra accounts, for David and Temple, you have the same remainder, 14. Offset by, the 'credit' of Abraham.
  • So now Daniel 9's 62 weeks, balances to Isaiah and Moses.
    • For the First Temple stood 364 years (950 BC - 586 BC); it's in ellipsis between Isaiah 53:10 (the Contract to Pay) Isaiah 53:11 (the actual payment on the Cross).
    • So in Isaiah, that takes you to 33 BC, when the extra 70 years (364 + 70 = 434), in Isaiah 53:11-12, begins. That's when Octavian (later Augustus) began to war with Marc Anthony. Stage now set for Empire, which will facilitate travel to see Messiah.
    • The period ends with Messiah's scheduled death of 37 AD, in both Isaiah 53:12 and Daniel 9:26.
    • That endpoint thus reflects the 14 syllable-years reserved as preceding the Millennium, in Psalm 90:1-4.
    • Notice how in both cases, the 50-year allotment for harvesting the gentiles is in ellipsis, since that's a voting period for them, not Jewish time.
    • So that's why Daniel 9:26-27, doesn't add the 50 in. It's not part of the Jewish Time accounting.
    • So 64 years are predicted to precede the Millennium by Moses, not 14. As you can see, it's a fatal mistake to use lunar accounting; that completely ignores (and thus masks) the birthday and solar Accounting God uses from Genesis 5, forward. That's why both Christians and Jews have mistimed Bible, for centuries.
    • Since only 14 of these years belong to the Jews, and they must play post-Messiah: 7 is reserved for after He comes, during this last 70-year piece, Daniel 9:26. And the second 7, is the Tribulation, Daniel 9:27.
    • For Jewish Time runs out, cannot exceed the credit from Abraham.
  • But Messiah is killed seven years early. So there remained 14 years to play. So Matthew 1 uses three 14's as a trenchant rhetorical reminder of Isaiah 53's meter, in crafting his genealogy. He only counts the 42 legitimate generations (i.e., leaving out Athalia's kids). Of course, that weaves in Moses' Psalm 90, especially the two sections which Isaiah 'split' to 'house' the Decree. Since Jews memorized the Old Testament, they'd notice the numbering. Isaiah counted on it. So did Matthew. Luke indirectly does the same thing, crafting 77 generations in Luke 3, playing on Last David via first David's death age. And of course, 77 is visually '14', and visually '490'. Trenchant reminder that the 'generation' of Daniel 9:26 has yet to finish, when Luke writes! Yet one more proof Gospels are written early (except John, being in 77 AD). This rhetoric wouldn't have punch if Matthew and Luke were written any later than 62 AD. Temple still had to be standing for this rhetoric to 'bite' you. Of course Luke weaves his Gospel around Matthew's, so you know Matthew's was first. The 'Q scholars' are incompetent, sorry.
  • So now the Time Credit from Abraham, shifts:
    • The 40-year wilderness wandering had initially been an offset to Abraham's early super-maturation, which explains why Moses only puts the remaining 14 in Psalm 90:1-4's 'decree' (reserve) section.
    • Had Israel timely accepted Christ, there would only be a 7-year remainder and a 50 year remainder, long depicted by Passover and Pentecost, respectively. (Omer should be dated from the end of Passover week, Numbers 28:25-26. So that makes 57 days.)
    • But she didn't. So an anomaly ensues. The time the land should have Jews on it, ends up shorted 40 years. For on the original schedule, the 40 years from Abraham's credit presupposed she'd be in Israel the entire last 57 years; that's why she could wander those 40 years.
    • For she was a covenanted nation without Land, for her first 40 years. So that's like giving the Gentiles 40 years, a duality.
    • On the other hand, her rejection means Church had to be inserted; so there is a added covenantal group during what should be the Times of the Gentiles.
    • So Israel becomes a Land (temporarily) without covenant, so another duality ensues.
    • So to balance Time with respect to the land, the Temple remains standing. But notice how only 40 of the 50 added years could be granted. For that's all the 'bank' she had for the 'duality', balancing to that first wandering period.
    • And now, the Time books balance, except for that hanging extra seven, owing to Christ dying seven years too early.
    • It too must play as a duality, during the above 40 years — mirroring the 'duality' of the period from David's initial Kingship at Hebron to the end of the civil war. It can't extend the time, because she killed Him rather than accepting Him. So she killed her time.
    • So civil war characterizes the last seven years, from 64-70 AD, ending with the Temple's Destruction, just as Daniel 9:26 predicted. That 'pays' her the seven, during a duality, which after all occurs because she killed Him.
    • Leaving only, the Tribulation. Yet Future.
    • Notice how the piggybacking of that first seven, means the Tribulation is funded. For the land gets its remaining seven sabbaths owed on that 49 years missed back during Rehoboam through Temple Destruction, during 64-70 AD.
    • So the Tribulation time, is genuinely owed. To messiah. For it was His Time that was debited, by Israel. And now, that time is funded. So now can be played, prior to His Second Advent. Just as promised, initially. But via a different accounting.

Ultimate, precise, Divine Justice! Awesome accounting by God, isn't it? Could you ask for more proof of Messiah, than this? Why Jews — and we Christians! — miss all this precise balanced accounting, I'll never know. It's been sitting in our mutual Bible for centuries. Unread. Because aw, we are too bored with the begats and ages and all that arcane Temple stuff! Maxima mea culpa, once I was also bored! And spanked for it! 🍑 No doubt that every jot and tittle will be accounted for and balanced, at the Bema!


  1. Accounting Date. Temple Destruction date of 9th Ab (10th, per Jeremiah 52:12), is most commonly depicted as 586 BC, in our dating system. So if you wanted, you could just count backwards from that. Exodus then becomes 1440 BC, and Adam's Fall then becomes 4106 BC, at the beginning of the Genesis 5 roster. Not, the beginning of creation, for just as we saw here with the Temple, days aren't numbered until a fall occurs. Israel's days are numbered from the razing of the Temple, forward.
  2. Accounting Entirety. Entire timeline is thus visible, all the way back to Adam: just add up all the Genesis 5 siring ages through Terah's siring of Abram. GeneYrs.xls already does that for you, in its Column G. You can then plug in the other dates Bible gives, to get the other events. If you choose a different BC/AD date than 586 for Temple destruction, notice how the whole timeline is impacted, so you can self-audit both for the alternative destruction date — or any other BC/AD date you're testing.
  1. Accounting Forward. Forward from Temple Destruction you have an exact chronology from Daniel 9, which mirrors Isaiah 53's meter. Bible's Dating method is: a) from God's decree (Daniel 9:24, quoting from Jeremiah 25:11) not a human king's, b) measured in solar years, which has been the convention since Adam, c) follows the 490 accounting system you now can see play since Adam, i.e., 490 years after Seth is born, Enoch is born; 490 years after Shem is born, Isaac is born, etc.
  1. Accounting Grace. So now the Time Books balance again. Thus we saw in "Accounting Adjustment", Temple's Destruction relative to the Exodus, which occurred 490 years after Joseph's enslavement, is dated + 490 (= Exodus) + 490 (= Temple Dedication) + 364 (= 490 - 126). So going forward, + 70 + 70 + 49, for a total of: 490 + 364 + 140 + 49, 1043 years since the Exodus, which equals 586 BC - 70 - 70 - 49 = 397 BC, when Canon Completed. Isaiah 53's Hebrew meter tallies to this from Isaiah 53:1 through Isaiah 53:10.
  2. Accounting Halt-point. So going forward, + 70 + 70 + 49, for a total of 490 + 364 + 140 + 49, 1043 years since the Exodus, finishing off the " 49" accounting piece in Daniel 9. So next, the '62 weeks', another 434 years. So, 1043 years + 434 = 1477th anniversary of the Exodus, was the scheduled 'end' of Messiah. So 397 BC - 434 = 37 AD, which is the 1000th anniversary of David's death, which we saw was 963 BC. This tallies to Isaiah 53's Hebrew meter, Isaiah 53:1-12, as per above.

Notice that had Israel accepted Him, the Daniel 9:26 forecast of Second Temple Destruction, could have followed either immediately after the Crucifixion, or later. How do you know? Because both events are stated as "after the 62 weeks" (Hebrew and LXX use the same terminology). So you know it's a deadline, a schedule. By that point both things would have happened. So even in the original game plan, the Second Temple was going to be destroyed until the very end, as the rest of Daniel 9:26 notes. So you know that Daniel 9:27's Temple, is fake. So you know there is a hiatus between Daniel 9:26, and Daniel 9:27. Which hiatus wouldn't need to be mentioned, as Pentecost and Jubilee long depicted it; that hiatus, was the time for harvesting the Gentiles. So, Daniel 9:27 lists the final seven years of history before what we know as the Second Advent, thus showing how Daniel 9:24 gets fully done.

  1. Accounting Interpretation. So you know not only that 37 AD is the deadline for Messiah's death, but the all-important, why.Can't prove a prophetical interpretation correct until you know The Why. Now, you do: it had to occur on a schedule, for a new 1000-year grant and a new 490-year grant, to occur. Which, Messiah would purchase, as David's 1000-year time grant deadlines intervened. So only if Messiah came and finished, could the seven-year remainder of the "old" grant — precedent of the First Temple — play. Grafting in!
  1. Seven years prior to David's death, would be 970 BC. Lots of 'scholarly' agreement on that being the ending date of David's kingship, except that everyone uses Josephus rather than Bible, so misinterprets age 70 as David's death age. So all prophetic interpretations 'out there' are wrong, even though 30 AD is the right ending date. They misconclude a wrong why. So that's why everyone scrambles to use lunar years. Else they come up with seven years too many.
  2. For David's rule began with seven years of civil war, and his last seven years of life also were plagued by it, as you'll learn from 2 Samuel + 1 Kings 1-2, and the companion ending of 1 Chronicles (start in 1 Chronicles 1:23) through 2 Chronicles 2. During his last 7 years alive, God had David prepare the Temple service (etc.) which would begin upon his death, fulfilling 2 Samuel 7. Warning, Bill Robinson! David did not die when he was age 70!
  3. Isaiah long beforehand reminds the reader about David dying at 77, crafting that double-promise as the number of Hebrew syllables for 'generating' the 77th son Messiah decree, Isaiah 52:13-15 (true beginning for Chapter 53 in Hebrew). Of course, 70 + 7 = 77, '7 7' is two sevens, and 70 × 7 is 490. "Seven" in Hebrew means "promise" (play on day when God rested, all work over).
  4. Matthew didn't miss it, taking 3 × 14 (14 being 7 + 7), as his genealogy number base (legitimate generations), in Matthew 1: for Isaiah 52:13-14 covers the Jews, and is 42 syllables long. So now you know why Matthew uses the 14's, you know it's not wrong (so all his detractors didn't do their homework).
  5. Luke didn't miss it, keying off the entire 77 syllables in Isaiah 52:13-15, since Isaiah 52:15 covers the Gentiles — to make the 77th-son genealogy (from Mary) listing, Luke 3. So Luke's not wrong, either. (Oh: scratch the second "Cainan" in Luke 3 if you find it, some scribe stuck that in there to tally to a bad copy of an LXX Genesis 5 roster.)
  6. So notice: David did rule 40 years, 2 Samuel 5:4. So Christ must be allotted that lifetime, as well. For Christ must be born a king, and in time to pick up the 1000-year mantle from David as David's Greater Son, Psalm 110:1.
  7. So notice: 963 + 1000 - 40 = 4 BC. In order to have the same 40 years, Christ would have to be born then. Haggai 2's witty play on Zerubbabel's "seed" name (zeru = seed) tells you Christ's Birthday will be 25 Chislev (sundown of the 24th), which is later known as the first day of Chanukah. My pastor explained the Lord's Chanukah 4 BC birthdate in his year 2000 classes.
  8. So notice: 963 + 40 = 1004 BC, when David becomes King of All Israel, 2 Samuel 5:3-5. It must be accounted as late 1004 BC (during the last six months of the year, 2 Samuel 3:5). So treat it as 1003 BC in most calculations.
  9. So notice: Christ is 33 years old when He dies (Luke 3:23 + Luke 13:7 compared to Matthew 21:18-20, among other verses), on what would have been the third Passover since He began His Ministry, John 2:23 + John 6:4 + John 13:1ff. Pretty straightforward.
  10. Thus you know He dies seven years prior to His 37 AD deadline, hence in 30 AD.
  1. So 30 AD is the 1000th anniversary of David's retirement, tying also in Character: both kings lay down their crowns for the sake of the people. Temple can't be built until David dies. Salvation can't be built until Christ dies. Church can't be built until Christ dies. Time can't continue unless Christ dies, Daniel 9:26 — due to, David's 1000th anniversary of death limitation. Temple's second 490 had it never been razed, was also 30 AD, so Christ dies seven years early to Become the Temple Made Without Hands, even as David retired 7 years early to prepare for Him. Notice how the parallels Match In Meaning, are multiple, convergent, and fulfill the promise of 2 Samuel 7.
  1. So further notice: if you plug backwards to the Exodus, you'll find that 30 AD is the 1470th anniversary of the initial Passover, which you can prove occurred in 1440 BC, from the other Bible numbers. And to the very day of that initial Passover, from John's wry Greek sarcasm in John 19 (covered in Passover Plot's "παρασκευή" verse section). Scholars well know this sarcasm. They don't seem to 'remember' that if the Jewish calendar wasn't intercalated, Passover would officially run four days fast, which is how the Lord could eat the Passover and yet be the Passover, which is John's wry point. Odd how 'scholars' use lunar years when God doesn't, but don't recognize lunar years when God does. And repeat that error into a continual travesty called 'Good Friday', for centuries. For Passover's first and last days are treated as 'high sabbaths', no matter on which day of the week they fall. That week, they fell on Sundays (which in Jewish law start Saturday night), so the Lord was crucified on Wednesday, just like the Bible says. Passover Plot provides the golden details. ☺️
  2. So notice: if you plug backwards to Adam, you're in the 4136th year from his Fall.
  3. So notice: the 4200nd year from Adam is the 4th 1050 from his Fall.
  4. So notice: the extra 7 years Christ died short, plus the seven in Daniel 9:27 plus 50 years which always represented the last 50 years prior to the Millennium (i.e., Isaiah 61), equals 64.
  5. So notice: 7 days for Passover plus another 50 days takes you to Pentecost, just like Numbers 28:25-26 tell you. That's 56 days if you start your count after Passover ends like Isaiah does, in his Hebrew meter.
  6. So notice: another 56 days after Pentecost, is 9th Ab, which Isaiah also references (ibid). Each month was 30 days long, to fit the fortnightly priestly courses.
  1. So notice: Titus invested Jerusalem but didn't begin the final takeover until Passover 70 AD, finishing with the destruction of the Temple on what the Jews call 9th Ab of that year (other sources are Josephus, Atlas of Bible and Christianity by Tim Dowley (available at seminaries and Amazon), ISBE, Military History Magazine, December 1995 issue, etc.).
  2. So notice: that completes the famous 40-year judgement period, as well as 'reimburses' the 33 Years Christ Lived, plus the 7-year shortage due to Jewish Rejection. Sure looks like God is orchestrating something, huh.
  1. So next notice, that since the Jubilee signified the Second Advent (that's why Christ quotes it when beginning His Ministry, see Luke 4:19), you now know when the Second Advent was supposed to occur: 94 AD.
  2. 94 AD - 57 = 37 AD - 7 = 30 AD, when Christ died.
  3. Second Advent begins Millennium, so all history was supposed to end 1000 + 50 years later (the 50 as the rebellion/voting period), Revelation 20:7. Hence the end of the world pre-Church, was supposed to be 1144 AD (94 + 1050).
  4. But Church was inserted, so the Daniel 9:26c trend lasts longer, Matthew 16:18.
  5. Replete with Two "Stone Witness" stand-ins for the upcoming Two Witnesses, namely the Wailing Wall and the Dome of the Dome.
  6. Which Dumb Dome, Satan kindly furnished as a reminder of Daniel 9:26c via the Muslims, who have their own 'exodus' (called the "hegira"), 622 AD.
  7. Which year, is 490 years - 7 (!) after the prior abomination, the pig temple atop the Holy of Holies when Jerusalem was rebuilt by Hadrian as Aelia Capitolina,
  8. 70 years after the 70 AD Temple Destruction, mimicking the 586 BC - 70 - 70 years from Daniel 9; this time by our own BC/AD Dating System, which back in 622 AD was newly adopted in some Catholic circles. What a cruel way to lampoon our ignorance of God's Accounting System for Time.
  9. Not to mention, the 'exodus' to Jerusalem — never mind Mecca was the claimed spot of Abraham's sacrifice — which exodus, occurred in 638 AD, culminating in the building of that Dumb Dome of the Rock on the same timetable of the First Temple, namely 7 years (again, 1 Kings 6). Year construction began per my 1985 set of Encyclopedia Britannica was 685 AD, which of course nicely reverses 586 BC. Of course, you'd have to use our BC/AD dating system, to get the 'joke', and our system was brand new at that time.
  10. Not to mention, about every 430 years (Exodus 12:40-41!) after the initial Muslim 'exodus', there's another invasion attempt upon Israel and specifically Jerusalem: 638 AD, 1073 AD, 1517 AD; and of course we're all familiar with 1948+ AD. You can proof the prior dates from the internet or in a good encyclopedia.
  11. So Satan's pretty keen on Bible's Dating System, too. He can't always be on time, though. Elaboration is in Lord vs. Satan Part 4.
  12. So we know God's Dating System still operates. Which we already know from Bible, since Christ is the Last Adam, 1 Corinthians 15:45, coming at the very end of Time, Daniel 9:26 + Galatians 4:4.
  13. So GeneYrs.xls tracks that same System, reset to the Cross, up through about 2600 or so.

At some point, one must stop calling all this confluence, "coincidence". For the last 2000 years, did:

Again, the beauty of the Bible's dating system is you can posit any BC/AD date for any event, and notice how the entire timeline is impacted. That entireness impact makes everything self-auditing, kinda like a trial balance in accounting, or balancing your checkbook. Especially, since in true accounting you must always match event character to the number you're auditing; especially, since Bible dates in "years from" a person's age, so you know: a) it's solar, and b) God's date must be accurate in Bible. Thus you can correct your dates without that weird 3-4 year gap from our BC/AD. (Somehow when the West converted to BC/AD, we dropped out 3-4 years of the Romans, so Even Christ Was Born Before Christ, 🤣.)

The more difficult thing to demonstrate is the 'intercalation' system God follows, by using 490 + 70 + 490 = 1000 + 50. The chart above demonstrates how I learned of it. GeneYrs.xls tests that construct with real Bible dates, created back in May 2004. In May 2008, Isaiah 53's meter patterns were proven; prior, I'd mistaken the difference in the LXX text (and gap in Isaiah scroll) to signify Hebrew text was missing. It wasn't missing.

The Isaiah 53 surprise is covered in Isaiah 52:13-54:1, Working, Expanded, and Poetic Translations, w/ Exegetical Notes, with videos so you can see for yourself the process of discovery, and also the live Bible Hebrew and Greek. Isaiah 53's Hebrew meter patterns are phenomenal. One of those mathematical convergence marvels. When you go through the videos, you'll notice the careful ties between the content of the words, and the number of syllables; paralleling between different sections of the chapter; Bible numerology carefully deployed. So the meter confirms the entire 490 + 70 + 490 structure.

But that's not all, as I learned in July 2008; the very same meter pattern provides a literal annual calendar from the time Isaiah writes, to the time of Messiah. So God is quoting Isaiah's meter to Daniel, and the 490-year structure was a reminder, not new information. So you also know the Isaiah 53 meter was intended to be a mnemonic, not those goofy, mystic, arcane Bible codes. So when you plot Bible's dates from Adam forward, you see Isaiah 53's meter reflected — all the way back to the first Adam. GeneYrs.xls is a mere plotting of raw Bible Dates. (Post-96 AD, man's dating is used.)

So that begs the question of meter used as a convention for revealing the Dating System, as well as the dates themselves. When you plot the dates and then 'overlay' them with the 490 + 70 + 490 structure, you see who got the 490-year grants, why when and how; you see the huge import of the voting periods (voting history impact is panoramically reviewed in point #9). You clearly see the qualification periods, and the many (at least seven) times in history when the world almost ended due to someone not getting a 490-year time grant until the last minute. But if it's so baldly portrayed by dates, it must be baldly shown in meter, too. Handy way to remember the timeline, if you have a catchy syllabification. Isaiah 53 cannot be the only example of this kind. I don't yet have time to review the rest of the Hebrew metering in the Old Testament (likely in all Messianic passages, or passages about Time itself). Still, that rhetorical style should be elsewhere in the Old Testament. Surely someone else can find it, too. The whole Bible is metered so that it can self-repair itself, which is necessary because copies of copies develop errors over time.

The timeline needs to be refined further, especially for what months a thing occurs. The timeline will be accurate within six months, but since the Bible uses specific dates (i.e., with the Flood, Exodus, Temple construction and Dedication, Christ's Birth and Death dates), it should be possible to refine Bible's major events to exact months, if not exact days. In particular — since Antiochus IV made such a big stink of desolating the Second Temple on an anniversary of its foundation — it looks like David was crowned at Jerusalem on 24-25 Chislev, but I can't prove it yet.


6b. So do you believe in the Books of Enoch, Jubilees? In the Talmud? For the 490 + 70 + 490 = 1000 + 50 is also very similar to what the Talmud has long said about the timing of Messiah. No, I don't believe in any of those books. Enoch isn't preserved in what should have been the original language text, and its own verses are slapstick satire against God. The Bible refutes the so-called "Book of Enoch" at every turn. Skip it. As for the mystical Book of Jubilees, at best you can say it's a corruption of what the Jews used to know of God's calendar for time; lots of goofy stuff in there, too.

Talmud is far less goofy, but some of the rabbis recorded in it misread the Bible, especially Rambam; and that is partly why the Jewish calendar is famous for being short by about 200 years. So all its dates are off. That's why the Jews themselves can't figure out when Exodus happened, and misdate it. So I didn't use the Talmud. In fact, only now in 2009, five years after learning God's Accounting System for Time strictly from the Bible, am I reading what the Talmud also says. I'm reading Talmud now, because I need to account for why the Jews went wrong in their Accounting for Time. Bible is so clear and witty on this, I'm dumbfounded that the Jews themselves, misread it.

Bible is all I need to know God's Time Rules, though. So that's all you need, too: God's Word has the whole story:

What's intriguing about the Talmud, though, is that they did recognize a 4000-year-from-Adam Mark as the beginning of Messiah's own 'time'. They forgot that it's intercalated, though. So the "4000" is really "4103", based on the 1000th anniversary of David's Crowning over all Israel (the second crowning, not the first). That makes me suspect David was crowned King over All Israel on 25 Chislev, but I can't find proof of that, just yet.

So even though the Talmudic interpretation of the Time He Comes is garbled, the rabbis did know when He would come, at the time. Bible is real clear on it, so I'm curious to know when the accounting went bad. One thing I can account: the rabbis forgot how the 70-year periods intercalate, so it's 490 + 70 + 490 = 1000 + 50, not a mere 1000. It's true that for qualifying Time to Continue, there's no intercalation. That is, someone has to super-mature each 490 years, irrespective of the voting periods; each 1000 years, irrespective of the (non-believer) voting period. For the voting periods only get appended if the previous 490 (or 1000) completed with someone super-maturing during that time. Hence like the Jewish calendar, there are two tracks: one is non-intercalated, and the other intercalated (intercalation represents a merge with the unbelieving world). So I'm still researching this and related Talmudic accounting issues, here in 2009.

Repeating from the Summary section: it's vital to account for what someone else gets wrong. First, you better test whether you yourself get something wrong: it's not about finger pointing, but about auditing. For when you see someone else get something wrong, the natural question should be, "what errors might I be making — too?" So it's never about blaming the one who got it wrong. It's only about auditing.

Second, you find vital added information as you do this auditing. I've learned vast amounts of Bible doctrine I didn't know, simply by tracking how someone else's interpretation went wrong. For when you balance a checkbook, two errors might cancel out other checks and deposits — thus by auditing everything, you can detect what otherwise would be hidden.

Bible Doctrine accounting works the same way. So always account for how someone gets a thing wrong, as well as how it is right: you get a goldmine of Bible data, when you do this.

Now, the Rapture is based on the fact that these same rules for Time, continue true post-Cross: every 490 years there is a deadline for someone to super-mature. Moreover, seven major historical trends Mark the last 120 years of each 490 period. But you date the 490 beginning at 30 AD, now. Mirror, Now: God's Post-Cross explains the trends, and GeneYrs.xls tracks them. The latter still lacks enough events post-Cross, so you'll have to interpolate your own. Still, all you can say is that a major epoch in Time ends then, and if someone wasn't awarded a new time grant, you won't be around to question it. So the predictive value of the post-Cross timeline is only general: same trends always end the period, and until the Rapture, all trends have a Daniel 9:26c characteristic.

I'm beginning to suspect that the Rapture's timing represents two simultaneous truths: 1) at that moment, Church has become the spiritual entity God wants to Glorify His Son forever; 2) at that same moment, the requisite super-maturation does not occur, so Time suddenly must end under the pre-Israel 490-Time-Grant rules. So the only reason Time goes on post-Church, is that it matured as God promised it would, meaning #1) happened. That's always been the Rapture promise, with no promise being made that 2) will keep happening. So that's the hypothesis for the Rapture's timing which I use now. Thus you see yet another reason why the Lord said you can't predict the Rapture, in Acts 1.

Having said this, I'm intrigued by Rambam's insistence that the universe will end @ 7000 years, to correspond to a "week", basing his conjecture on Psalm 90:4. As we know, the Church was not predicted in the Old Testament. The conventional rabbinical 'take' on Rambam (who himself got it from prior rabbis) was that the first 2000 years were allotted to "Chaos" (the nomenclature varies), corresponding to the Adam-Noah period; the second 2000 years were for the patriarchs and Israel, called (usually) "Law", but the third 2000 years were allocated to Messiah.

Now, does this third allocation include the Millennium or not? Would the (say) 7000th year begin eternity? Or would the Millennium begin at the 7000th year? Either way, that's a significant departure from what the Bible says, yet might not be contradictory, given that God always foreknew Israel would Vote No when Messiah came, theme of Ephesians 1. We don't know when Rapture will happen. For all we know God is also using a time schedule, but it's Not Promised, anymore. Doesn't mean He won't still accomplish it, but it's not a guarantee, as it was pre-Church. It's important to note that Bible never guaranteed 7000 years, or seven 1050's. That's an idea external to the Bible (i.e., in Jubilees and Enoch). Might have been a plan, but was never guaranteed. Only the 4200 was guaranteed. Of that 4200, the last seven years thus remain reserved, Daniel 9:27. No other time is guaranteed, pre-Millennium.

Even so, it would be a goldmine of data to learn whether the initial schedule told Israel included a hedge for if she rejected Messiah. For, now that He's Left the Building, she can look back on that initial schedule and still see that God will keep His Promise to her, for lo — He warned her of this third allocation potential, way back in Moses' day. So even though Time is not guaranteed Church, the remaining 7 (plus of course the 1050 of the Millennium) is guaranteed. That would be good, for again — it helps her prove Jesus the Christ really is the Messiah.

So I'll further analyze this 7000 (really 7350) 'week' for mankind, in the Bible. I'd bet that if it was communicated to Israel as a 7000, a Bible writer would have constructed a metered poem which includes the prophecy of the Gentiles, into seven 70's. Or, seven 50's, if the prophetic focus is on the Gentiles. The former meter mnemonic ties nicely to 490 as well, but is thesaural for the entire 7350 years, since every 1050 contains a '70'. To qualify as thesaural, the 'paragraphs' in the meter must resolve to 70 each; there must be seven of those 'paragraphs'. (They might be embedded, though, like Moses embedded a fifth 70 inside Psalm 90:1-4, his first 84 syllables; and embedded the 56 inside the 70 syllables of Psalm 90:9-11.)

Finally, it's not a coincidence that: a) Abraham gets his covenant in Year 2046 after Adam's Fall, the same year as Noah's 490, runs out; b) that David is crowned King of Hebron exactly 1050 years later; c) that David is crowned King of all Israel exactly 1057 years later, so that d) Messiah's Birth exactly 1000 years afterwards, would result in Him being able to complete Time such that His scheduled death year per Daniel 9 + 57, would equal the end of the fourth 1050 from Adam's Fall.

See, Abraham had to super-mature by 2046 from Adam's fall or the world would have ended. But that meant the scheduled 2100 years for the Gentiles, didn't complete: it's 54 years earlier. This credit and its 'reimbursement' balancing both the time for the Jews and the time for the Gentiles — hence Daniel 9:24's 'completion' language — was explained, above.

Now you can argue that since Psalm 90 weighs in at 350 syllables, that 50 × 7 factoring implicitly talks about a whole plan of time totalling 7350, thus giving rise to the '7000' as a shorthand, used by the rabbis. For it's perfectly valid in accounting to use benchmarks, since obviously Moses is doing that in Psalm 90. But Moses is emphasizing voting by believers, not unbelievers. So implicitly tying to seven 50's as a result of believer voting, would make some sense, especially since the math of the sabbatical years ends up causing the 50 to be 'purchased' literally, as shown in #9. But if so, then why doesn't Isaiah balance to the 7350? Why doesn't Daniel 9? Or if they do, I'm not yet seeing it.


6c. Okay, so then why did you get this 'information' about how God Orchestrates Time? Why not a pastor or respectable Bible scholar? Why not the Jews? For you make all them out to be wrong. What makes you so special?

  1. This accusation hits me every day. I'm always asking God, "why me? Why a woman???" For I'm as conservative as you can get. Not a woman's libber, k?

And here's the answer: women are used to save men time. Whew. Remember Hulda? She was just a dry cleaning lady (2 Kings 22:14; 2 Chronicles 34:22). But she knew Bible. When Hilkiah went to her rather than to his own son Jeremiah (Jeremiah 1:1) who'd already been instructing Josiah for five years, she said what Jeremiah would have said, thus supporting the man with the authority. Okay, so I can play librarian, research assistant, even secretary; since I've been trained under a man with authority (my pastor, who taught the whole congregation of which I am a part) — to read the Bible. Jeremiah was commissioned by God to go against his family. It's a running theme of Jeremiah, which at times is referenced, i.e., at the end of Jeremiah 5, Jeremiah 7; as a result, his own clan wanted to kill him, Jeremiah 11:19 through 12:6; so God condemned them, (12:10 and passim, like 13:13, 14:13ff), gave Jeremiah to find the lost Bible which was in the Temple, Jeremiah 15:16 (context is 15:10, 15-21). He must have given it to his father, who had distanced himself from his son and claimed credit for finding the Bible, 2 Kings 22:8.

Now, if I screw up somewhere, God will alert the reader. And if what this 'brainout' writes is accurate, then it had to come from Him, and He will attest to that, too. Because, He is The Authority. Whew.

So then someone with authority who scans the internet looking for information or ideas, can use what he finds here, under his own authority, since after all, he has to vet the material before God, himself. So, it belongs to him, not to 'brainout'. Double-whew.

Moreover, aside from the wrong sex problem, I'm extremely uncomfortable being 'the only one' who knows this material. That's why it's anonymously published at no cost to anyone. If God is 'in' it, He'll witness to it. If God is not 'in' it, He'll witness to that, too. So my extreme discomfort is allayed, for any mistakes I've made will be clearly witnessed by none other than God Himself. Whew. Else, I'd want to crawl under a rock. Some people like being 'the only one' or the 'first' in a thing. I hate it. To me, "fun" means pointing out how good someone else is. I hate criticising or saying someone else is wrong: totally unpleasant. "Kill me now" is how I really feel, if you must know.

On the other hand, by giving it to someone outside the 'scholarly' circle, then the rabbis, pastors & scholars don't have to fight turf wars with each other. They hate doing that, you know. But we laymen like our football teams. So they are constrained to be politically-correct, and defend whatever denominational turf they occupy. But if on the other hand, this essentially pan-denominational information which vindicates the Jews as well, is given to a mere nobody, me — who's not on anyone's turf — then no turf wars have to be fought. Cute, huh.

I hope you know, that this all started solely because I wanted to better understand a doctrine my own pastor taught, namely that Believers Buy Time (Ephesians 5:16), a subset of his "Blessing by Association" doctrine he's taught since the 1960's. If I knew the proofing and answers would lead to this huge doctrine that requires a (happy) retooling of all we thought we knew was in Bible — I'd have shied away from publishing it. But I didn't know. Accountants are too busy accounting to appreciate the effects, until after the accounting is done. That's their job, for crying out loud.

Only after it was all 'out there' did I begin to understand the import. So just ignore this 'brainout'. The doctrine is provably in the Bible.

Look: if you're a pastor you can just vet the information and then you own it, it's your authority, and "brainout" is completely irrelevant. If it makes you feel nervous to be silent how you stumbled across the material, you can say God led you to this silly 'brainout' but then God caused you to independently prove it true. So then 'brainout' is irrelevant, right? For God did the work, not 'brainout'. He used Balaam's ass, so he also used a 'brainout' to disclose something, that's all.

For look how He works, how He saves us time in vetting Bible, how He advertises His Son: the Dispensational Bible scholars and Jews are vindicated by Bible's information on how God Orchestrates Time — they just misaccount, their own vindication. The Real Messiah Has Already Come — and you know precisely when, going back year by year all the way to Adam's Fall. So far from proving them wrong, God proves to everyone else via His Word, that they are right — but in a different way.

Moreover, everyone in any denomination as well as all Jews, has a vested interest in wanting to prove the Bible's dates. We misaccount the Genesis story. We misaccount when the Exodus happened. Okay, so we can breast beat for five seconds, and then see the gorgeous vindication from the Bible, of what it does say. Lots of money gets made from all that retooling, providing jobs for people. And best of all, our faith in the Bible is vindicated. Sure, it will take a century or more for all that retooling to be done, and there will be a lot of opposition, too. So what? There's always been the time lag between truth and its recognition, and opposition is Satan's goal anyway. Let the arguments play out, that's how God wants it, as we all long know.

  1. Since I'm not special, if I get the information, it proves even any old dippy brainout can understand how Bible's Accounting System for Time works. That, is provably true. Granted, it took two years of studying and plotting the Bible's dates, but that's grunt work. The resulting interpretation just leaps off the page at you, won't require special abilities. Well, any Bible information always requires God's Abilities to enable perception, but you get that if you keep using 1 John 1:9 when you sin. (Holy Spirit won't Fill with His perception, a believer in a state of sin. Any unbeliever can instantly become a believer, the nanosecond he believes Christ paid for his sins.)
  2. If God gives the information to a brainout rather than to a respectable pastor or a Bible scholar, no one has the right to 'trust' it. Therefore the content must be vetted. And, once vetted, the material belongs also to the one who vetted it, for now that person has independent proof. See how elegant a solution that is? You own it once you prove it out. Not, brainout. You, whether you are a brainout yourself, a pastor, a scholar. For because a 'brainout' can prove it, then no one is excluded from owning it. God gives to everyone.
  3. Had God given this information to a Bible scholar or pastor (and maybe He did, but I find none published), then all other pastors would feel politically compelled to comment and take sides. That's a problem in academia, science, etc. So by not giving it to a pastor, this arguing doesn't have to occur, saving them all a lot of time and angst.
  4. Now, as people are caused to run into this material, they are caused by God, not by brainout; so the material is given them by God, not by brainout. So they are not beholding to brainout. So again, had the material been given to a pastor, there would be some obligation to credit the pastor. But no obligation, if given to a brainout, especially since no one can even find this material unless God causes that to happen. Emails I get tell me this — "God sent me to your webpages". Yeah, He did. Which means, the material is not mine, and the person got the information from God, just like I did. Sure, I wrote it out, but that's only a secretarial function. You don't credit the secretary typing the letter, as the author of the letter, do you? So you don't credit someone writing again what's already written in the Bible, as being the author of what's already written, right?
  5. So now as people come to independently vet and thus own the material, no one is competing with anyone else. It's just like personal Bible study. I'm not competing with or siding with you if I independently read Bible and am caused to see the same meaning in it that you do, right? You got it independently from God, and so did I. Again, notice how the religious tendency of man to fuss and fight as if God were a football, is completely bypassed.
  6. Now, I got this information because I asked God. Anyone can ask. But apparently asking God about how He orchestrates Time is not something people have done, going by the lack of information on the topic. The Jewish calendar reflects that they don't ask. Our Christian pulpits reflect that we don't ask. Anyone who asks, gets. But of course we find all those begats, cubits, dates, rather boring.

Now, I wouldn't have asked either, but my own pastor taught that believers are caused to buy time as part of a doctrine he called "Blessing by Association"; I couldn't prove the buying-time claim from Bible. The only information I knew of was Genesis 5 and Daniel 9. So finally I asked God where in Bible the answer was, and how to audit it, so I could even understand what "buying time" meant. That was in May 2004, resulting in the three documents above. In 2008, I was caused to find the meter in Isaiah 53, and that was a huge shock.

  1. Now, it's true there's a lot of bad Bible scholarship by Christians and Jews (and unbelievers for that matter). That's always been true, and Bible is full of explanation on why: seeing we all don't see, and hearing, we don't hear, because seeing we won't see, and hearing we won't hear. Human volition is generally negative. So if negative, then we didn't ask for correction, but wanted to believe whatever we came up with as the 'answer'. And especially never maintain even basic dialogue to God, let alone ask Him anything.

Now, when this happens God does two things: He makes the correction public, but He also makes it private. This, to give those wrong a kind of grace — the information is available, but not slapping them in the face. So they can change their mind. After all, if one person is given the information, then all are the intended recipients. The Jews got Bible, and thus all the human race is to get it. The apostles got the New Testament, and thus the whole human race can get it. Same with any interpretation of the Bible. The type of conduit isn't important: the message is important. Here, we're talking about what's Already In Writing, but we didn't see. We have the same Word, all of us. But yet it's still a volitional option, what we want to see in the same Word.

Now, when a person is faced with the overwhelming majority being wrong, but the Bible being right, he should pick the Bible. So maybe that's another and final reason why this brainout got the information, so it can sit anonymously like a needle in a webbed haystack. Thus someone finding it can privately decide whether to go with the crowd, or with Bible.


7. Why are you anti-Muslim? I'm not anti-Muslim, I'm anti-Islam. I didn't start out that way. Funny how when you actually study a topic, you learn much. Satan uses Islam. The Lord vs. Satan Part 4a covers that, and GeneYrs.xls tracks Satan's use of Islam in history (sparsely, at present). Independently-made historical videos on Youtube which help you see this are in my "timelines" playlist. My Youtube page is partly dedicated to exposing the evil that is Islam, because it provides ready access to both sides, and the real-time commentary by both Muslims and non-Muslims. Muslims themselves are the best proof of Islam's evil, sorry. You should see this for yourself. I didn't believe Islam was itself that evil, until I did the research.

Islam's doctrines are entirely based on antisemitism and rapine. If you'll view my blog entry for 12/16/2007, you can link to a discussion forum which justifies terrorism as a pillar of Islam (Forum has since been taken down and not archived well). Muslims are seriously uninformed about their own religion, its origin. This is odd, since the hadiths are sunnah, meaning every Muslim is obliged to emulate that horrid criminal and pedophile, Muhammed. ("Muhammed" means "Praised One", a title only reserved for deity, elsewhere. Think over carefully what it means, to name a criminal human leader, "Muhammed".) The proof of Muhammed's criminality is attested in the hadiths Muslims are obligated to honor, else they are defamed as kaffir, and not true Muslims. You can find proof of that, at the University of Southern California's website on Islam, which is run by Muslims. You really have to see all this for yourself. You have to read what Muslims write in Youtube commentaries, you have to read what they say in their forums and on their own television programs. Else, you won't believe it. We Christians are so naive, expecting non-Christians to have the same standards of honor that we do. Guess again.

Koran requires Muslims to lie to you if it makes Islam look good: research "taqiyya" on the internet. See for yourself. Else, you will not believe, because Our God commands us to always think well of other people. But this is not other people, principle in Ephesians 6 — this is satanic influence, maybe even possession. How else could so many people mobilize so quickly in the street, burning flags, etc.? Think it over. Took me a month to do the necessary investigation; might take you less time. Internet makes research much easier, now. Trick is to go to the right sources. Here, Muslims themselves prove that every allegation made against Islam is not only true, but that the allegations are diluted. (Again, we Christians are forever trying to be charitable, except when we fight each other over doctrines, 🤣).

You might have questions. You can't ask those questions with safety except in an anti-Islamic forum. I recommend www.faithfreedom.org and its forums. There you get both Muslims defending, and former Muslims countering. Again, it's muslims who are your best source of information. See for yourself, decide for yourself, before the Lord. (No longer online).

We Christians living under and before the Lord are the only effective bulwark against Islam. Islam rose only because Rome and Persia had exhausted each other fighting over the Holy Land. Each resurgence of Islam in history lasts about four generations, then peters out. (See the first and last sections of Arabophile Sir John Glubb's A Short History of the Arab Peoples. My copy of that book was required reading in my college course on Arab history, back in 1974.) In 732 AD, we stopped Islam at the Pyrenees, Charles Martel. That, because there was a revival in Bible interest, demonstrated by the sudden rise of monasteries and monks evangelizing; followed by, Charlemagne's order that Bible be disseminated. Then after him, Europe fell into something of a decline again, so Satan rolled out the Seljuks, who took over Byzantium in 1071, then finally Jerusalem in 1094, which brought about the Crusades. Thank God, at that very time Bible interest was reviving again (it goes in cycles, about every 200 years), so by the time the Mongol hordes came, at Buda and Pest, they were rebuffed (circa 1241). About 200 years later in 1453, interest in Bible had again declined, and this time the Ottomans, who had begun their rise (1299) after the Mongols were checked, took over Constantinople. Are you noticing a pattern, yet? It follows the 490-year deadlines of Time God has set up. Point here: resurgence of Islam now is a trend of history, and it is predictable. The current trend period ends 2030 AD. So Satan's right on time, again. It will take a long time to research this huge subject; but treat this alert as something to take seriously, and get serious about your spiritual life before God. That's always good advice; this current historical crisis just makes it more important than ever. See my "How Satan Deploys Islam" videos.

All this, is the upgraded version of Leviticus 26 and Deuteronomy 28, but over the whole planet. When our interest in Bible rises, God blesses us wherever we are, and hence our periphery too. When our interest in Bible declines (i.e., we substitute it with religion), then God curses us wherever we are — and our periphery too. Satan accuses us constantly before God, and when our interest in Bible goes down, then God must enact His Promise to punish. Satan's trying to parlay that promise into Götterdämmerung. What's so odd, is that Islam's very "jihad" definition is Götterdämmerung, centuries before Norse myths and Wagner, existed. So we are to blame for everything which goes wrong. Which of course, the Muslim imams all say! Do you see the satire here?

I'm currently testing the idea many have, that the beast and false prophet of Revelation 13 is that of Muhammed and the false Christ portrayed in Koran and hadiths; I don't know how that will turn out. If you're interested, you can follow the discussion at this FFI forum. As many of you know, Revelation 11-17 are historical trends pre-Rapture, since Satan doesn't know when it will begin. During the official Tribulation, the unholy trinity of fake Temple, Beast, false prophet, fake messiah, and Fake Church, will then control. At present, the attempts to make them, have been ongoing, i.e., fake church was Catholicism, beginning 95 AD or so, consolidating first around the time of Commodus. Today, fake Church is most of Christendom. 9 out of 10 Christians can't give you the Gospel correctly. 9 out of 10 can't define God correctly, or the spiritual life correctly, don't know when Christ was born, how the earth was created — in short, they can't read Bible. So they are carnal or maybe not even saved. Satan messes with us, the most. Time we did some accounting, huh...


8. You spend a lot of time lambasting Bible Translations. Isn't that unfair? What right do you have to say it's mistranslated? Bible mistranslation is a well-known fact. To be silent about that, is wrong. When the Word of God is Murdered, and I know that, I say so. What an audience does with that witness, is none of my business.

A lot of people are invested with their 'positions' on Bible, but I'm not one of them. It's not an ego thing for me, it's a quest for answers. Now, no one can get an interpretation or translation wholly correct. Progressive understanding is the goal, instead. The spiritual life is one of God Teaching You The Meaning He Put In Bible. So whatever you know 'today', is less than you'll ideally know, 'tomorrow'. So to say a translation or interpretation is wrong, is just a statement, no more; if God is in that statement, He'll witness to the fact when someone reads or hears it.

Bible translations include words or phrases that are not in the original language texts. More often, they also omit what is in the Bible. Moreover, some of the words in the original language texts are not Bible, but are treated as if they are. So you must test every single verse as you read. Now, there's this art-science called "textual criticism" which has been constantly trying to ascertain if certain verses are really part of the Bible or not; whether some verses or even whole books, belong to the Bible but are missing. It's a nightmarish exercise, for you often look at a desiccated fragment of papyrus or vellum, the ink barely visible, trying to make out if what you view is an iota or a sigma. So it takes years of hard work by many people. Frankly, they all deserve huge salaries. Anyone working with the original language texts, does.

Now you, the learner of God, have a quicker way to establish whether what you read is valid or not: ask God. Generally, those involved in textual criticism ask others in their own field, for that is expected. However you have the Royal Privilege of asking God directly, as you read. So do you? Or do you rely on dear Dr. So-and-So? You know God wants you to study under a pastor — but pastors, teachers, scholars in Bible are also fallible. God, though, is not.

So you, the learner of God, have an Infallible Method For Establishing Divine Writ: Ask God As You Read. The scholar isn't allowed to use this method; he must use forensic methods which will forever be inconclusive. You, by contrast, can just ask God and He'll show you How The Text threads And fits from Genesis to Revelation. That's the test of Divine Writ. Every Bible verse must pass that test. The ones which do not, become obvious. Example: there's a lot of debate over John 7:53-8:11, many claiming it wasn't originally part of John's Gospel, forensically. So then you go to God and ask Him to show you where and how it fits, if it fits. And, He will. ☺️

Thus you see the Genius of God's Design. Bible is a very difficult Book to understand, even though often it's written in simple language, even in the original. It's difficult, because so much controversy surrounds it; it's difficult, because it's been trashed and mashed and mangled and reconstructed over the centuries — yet for all that, all you have to do is ask God if the verse you're reading, is really His. Ask God for what interpretation, you should get. And God will enable you to understand it. So, see: though centuries of controversy and tons of commentaries rage pro- and con- Bible, you can quickly sift through all that just by asking God.

Now, when you ask God, you still must do a lot of legwork. He gives you the answer, but then wants you to prove it forensically, just like an academe involved in textual criticism must do. The difference is, God will show you Where To Look For The Conclusive Evidence. And where you always look, is to The doctrinal Fit of the disputed passage, words, verse, book, whatever. If it fits doctrinally — meaning, the text threads forward from all prior Divine Writ — then it belongs to God. That's a massive testing exercise, but you learn much in the process, far more than if the Bible were this little catechism no one disputed. Same testing rule applies to translating or interpreting a verse or passage. Ask God. Then, dig, asking God the meanwhile. You'll get the 100% proof. Conclusively. I'm dead serious about this: God intends this process. So the confusion and controversy are training aids in your learning Him. Even the wrath of man, praises God. So learn to revel, in it.

Now, this wrath comes from a 'respectable' source. For a really big problem in Christian 'scholarship' is that people ask other people, rather than asking God. Pathetic, really. If God is the author, I should ask the Author, not people. Sure, God has delegated teaching and scholarship authority to people, and I respect and enjoy their learning — but they are human, so for God's sake, they shouldn't be expected to be as right as God is. So, one looks at the people, what they say — but then goes to God about it all.

Ergo, if I want to know whether 1 John 5:7-8 is really part of Bible — most scholars will tell you it is not — I just ask God. Then, I research. As I do, I'm still asking God as I read the raging controversy over this verse pair, and then draw conclusions before God. There are many disputed passages. Just look up "textual criticism" on the internet, and have fun going through them all — asking God while you do so, since you alone will be standing before Him on Judgement Day for what you conclude.

Remember, this is the devil's world. So the devil must have his day, and all the devilish wrangling over Bible by those for and against it, must play out. "Filling all in all", as God puts it in Ephesians 1. Letting all the arguments play out.

Ephesians 1:23 ἥτις ἐστὶν τὸ σῶμα αὐτοῦ, τὸ πλήρωμα τοῦ τὰ πάντα ἐν πᾶσιν πληρουμένου.

Remember Pharaoh's magicians? They counterfeited the 'signs' of Moses. So too, Satan has his own Bible 'scholars' to counterfeit, so that you mislearn Bible or come to distrust it. These scholars will look just like the real ones, the tares among God's wheat. So the tares will have degrees, fancy language, and above all will be graceless. That is how you detect them. The Word of God doesn't matter to them, but rather they value the world's approval, conventions, etc. Hence they will seem on the surface to be of God, but just scratch that surface a little bit, and you see the wolf underneath.

Thus when it comes to Bible, you must be alert. Always breathe 1 John 1:9 when you read something, scholarly or otherwise, to detect whether God is in it. And understand, the play of Satan's strategy in history, to obfuscate Bible, is deliberately allowed by God, to run its course. For nothing stops God from proving Himself and His Word to you, Isaiah 55. All you need do, is ask Him.

At the end of the day, you stand or fall based on what you believe, so auditing what you believe is a must. Besides, it's really enjoyable. The journey of learning Him. House-to-house battle. So when you come across some doubtful words, just know that the popular or 'respected' opinion of them, will be anti-God. So be sure to ask God what He means, and where He is behind what words. Saves a lot of wear and tear.

Now, only the original words God authored are inspired. The battle is, being sure what those words are. Arrogant denominations claim they determined what was Holy Writ or not, but the truth is, only God is the Infallible Witness. So just keep asking Him, as you read. And learn to read, in the original language texts. There will be a pastor who teaches from those texts, since God's goal is for everyone to be able to read the original language texts for himself.

Reading the Bible in the original language texts is not the domain of the elites. Pastors should be teaching it in those texts, and you can find such pastors. Now, lazy people who don't want to know the Word, would rather have elites; flipside, to be elite appeals to ego. Yet the Holy Spirit's Power unleashed (hence the need for 1 John 1:9 so you stay 'online' with Him) means anyone can learn to read those texts. I did, under my own pastor. So you can, too. It isn't hard, especially now with computers and great Bible software. So get cracking. For many centuries people did not get the Word in all its richness as you can have. So you can learn the Same Words as Christ Got and Spoke. God designed the Bible so everyone could have it, Hebrews 10:15-17, 1 Corinthians 13:13. It became available every time people wanted it, but history shows how we wanted the elites, instead. Now, too many people just want The Real Word, so guess what? Now you can get it on computer!


9. What Bible translation do you recommend? None. Not the ones being developed online now, nor any in the past. I use many translations as I study, but that only to save time. When I want to be sure of what the words are, or what they mean, I always go to the original language texts.

Every Bible translation has a guiding "philosophy" behind it. If you know that "philosophy", you can profit from using translations. For example, the "philosophy" behind the KJV and NASB, is literality. So they will always seek to translate the same Hebrew or Greek word with the same English word, as those Bibles are designed to be studied in conjunction with the original language texts. In short, when the KJV was written, it was deemed inferior to the original language texts; as an aid for pastors and students, it translated words in a predictable manner, so you could more easily follow the original. Thus, when you saw "save" in the New Testament, you'd know that "σῴζω" was usually the Greek word underlying "save". Made it simpler to teach a congregation, and easier for the congregation, to check that what the pastor said was right.

Other Bibles emphasize comprehension of the material as a whole. As a result, they sacrifice exactness of the real Bible words, for words which essentially paraphrase what they think the Bible means in a verse. Bible in Basic English, New Living Translation, English Standard Version are examples. Sometimes, they derive brilliant translations. More often, the translations are flat wrong. For one of the problems in this "philosophy" is to lower the standard for "comprehension" to what they decide the average reader can understand. Dumbed-down Bibles are only good for people who want a dumbed-down relationship with God. And, that's what they'll get.

Still other Bibles try to strike a balance between comprehension, and literality. Among these are the Darby translation, NIV, New Jerusalem, Revised Standard. I find myself using these often, in conjunction with KJV or NASB. The contention of the 'balance' philosophy is that literality leads to confusion and downright mistranslation, which is true. Yet it's recognized that one should always track to the original language texts, so some degree of literality is sought, i.e., trying to translate "save" everywhere "σῴζω" occurs in the original, yet distinguishing it as "rescue" or "deliver" when the salvation of eternity, is not the verse's focus. Again, it's impossible to translate the Word rightly. You do as much as you can.

There's a disturbing trend among Bible translations today to cut out passages which are impolitic. So these new translations (since the 1980's) seek to make God sex-neutral, to bland out violence and other politically-sensitive statements in the Bible. I wouldn't buy one of those Bibles if you put a gun to my head. The biggest problem in Bible collation of the original language texts and in translation has been obscuring what God says, in the name of getting people to like the Bible. Forget that. If you don't want God, then don't pretend you do by settling for some fuzzed-over, made-nice text. The Bible isn't politically-correct. Learn that early. Ask God why. There are really important reasons why the Bible uses nasty language, violent language, etc. Learn what they are, or don't bother to learn Bible at all. Just believe in Christ, that He paid for your sins, and you'll go to heaven. Ignorant, but honest.


10. Why should I read what you write, when I can read what someone respectable says, especially since they disagree with you? I've no clue why you should read what I write, whether I were respectable or not, or whether what I write agreed with anyone. Really, you shouldn't read unless God directs you to do so, as God would have a will about how you use your time. So ask Him, not me, whether you should read.

Frankly, if you use respectability as the criterion for what you decide to read, then respectability matters to you more than truth. You should know by now that respectability is no guarantee of competence, truth-speaking, intent, or anything else. All "respectability" really tells you is that the person deemed "respectable" is approved by his peer group or by people in general. Yeah, Mussolini and Hitler were once popular.

Go by content, not by who says what. Else, you will be fooled. So if the content of my webpages has its own merit — then didn't God make it so? Surely I did not. Gotta tell ya, when I read comments in YouTube, websites, blogs, scholarly treatises, I don't give a flip who says the words, I want to know if the words are: a) something God wants me to know, and b) valid for whatever reasons He wants me to know them. For everything in life is used by God to teach you... His Son. Pro or con, good or bad, silly or smart. So Go By Content, not speaker's approval rating.

If it matters, I almost never like what I write. I almost never like my videos. There's always something wrong with the presentation, in my view. The webpages are too long and wordy; I didn't even know how to make a video until December 2007. So if your question aims to establish whether I'm trying to advocate you believe as I do, rest easy: I'm not. We each turn over what we believe, and audit it. Spiritual growth happens only if you keep thinking over Bible on a daily basis. It doesn't come by works, rituals, believing what dear Dr. So-and-So says. It comes from being online with God, via 1 John 1:9 and learning and living on Bible He commissioned. Now, if reading what someone else says helps you do that, great. Doesn't mean you must agree with what you read. Does mean you better analyze why you believe, agree, disagree. For you only take your own soul, to heaven.


11. You use a lot of Greek terms which are famous in Gnosticism. Are you Gnostic? 🤣 No!!! The terms are Bible terms, and yeah most of them in the New Testament are tweaking the Gnostics for being such dummies. Gnosticism dates back to the Age of Pericles and even earlier. I can't tell if it really originated with the Chinese, or with the Jewish Kabbala goofballs — what we call Kabbalism really started back during the Judges (circa 1350 BC or so), and has morphed many times. So scratch any notion that my use of terms like sophia (σοφία), pistis (πίστις), pleroma (πλήρωμα) are gnostic terms. They are Bible terms, and they go all the way back in the Old Testament, too. Sound hermeneutics: Bible context determines a meaning, and my webpages are on the Bible, not on anything else. For example, Paul, John, and the writer of Hebrews (someone post-Paul, writing just after Paul died) all tweak the Gnostics. Paul uses Πλήρωμα a lot because he's constantly showing God's Superior Begetting — "πλήρωμα" has this internal connotation of being "full" of a god via impregnation. John seems to like to use "φῶς" (Light) a lot, tweaking the Gnostics there. The writer of Hebrews uses τελειόω and πληρόω in tandem to show the change in covenant from Israel to Church (elaborating on the two walls of Ephesians 2). I forget what terms Peter uses, but he gets in some good tweaks, too. So when you see my webpages use these terms, they are the Bible's definitions, never the Gnostics. ☺️


12. Why don't you use your real name? Who are you? Isn't it disrespectful to be anonymous? I don't use my real name because who I am, shouldn't matter. Content matters, not the person saying it. The nickname "brainout" derives from Ephesians 4:23, which is a command to be refreshed, reinvigorated by agency of the Spirit (verse is mistranslated). Now, think about that: if you aren't in the Spirit, your brain is out. Doesn't matter how smart you are, doesn't matter what credentials you have, doesn't matter how respected or approved you are among other humans. So I'm just a "brainout", no matter what people may think of me in real life. So if I respect God, then my own name shouldn't matter.

Ephesians 4:23 ἀνανεοῦσθαι δὲ τῷ πνεύματι τοῦ νοὸς ὑμῶν,

What good does it do for you, to know my name? Will that help you grow spiritually? And, can't you Google on "brainout"? If it ever mattered, wouldn't you know more about 'me' from the videos and webpages, then any name would tell you? What difference should it make to anyone, who anyone else is? We all stand individually to our Master. Frankly, I hope "brainout" is the new name I receive on my pebble in the Eternal State, assuming I mature to the Ephesians 4:13 level God ordained for each believer, per Revelation 2:17. For apart from the Holy Spirit, apart from Christ, I'm nothing, John 14-15.

Revelation 2:17 ὁ ἔχων οὖς ἀκουσάτω τί τὸ πνεῦμα λέγει ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις· τῷ νικοῦντι δώσω αὐτῷ τοῦ μάννα τοῦ κεκρυμμένου, καὶ δώσω αὐτῷ ψῆφον λευκήν, καὶ ἐπὶ τὴν ψῆφον ὄνομα καινὸν γεγραμμένον, ὃ οὐδεὶς οἶδεν εἰ μὴ ὁ λαμβάνων.

There's one more reason for being anonymous, and it's important. Some of the stuff in these pages is controversial. Some, really sophisticated theology, higher than what you can find anywhere in Christendom. So if a reader stumbles onto some idea in here which he wants to then own, he does. For, he can't say who "brainout" is. I want that. I'm not a teacher, but a student; and if I was given important understanding much like a waiter is given a plate to deliver to the customer, then I want the customer to own it. So, he does. You the Customer. I the waiter. I like it that way. God is the Maker of the Food, the Chef, and who needs to care about the delivery system He uses? Again, he used Balaam's donkey, and at best that's all I am. I asked Him over 20 years ago if in the eternal state, I could be a fly on the wall in the Throne Room. Someone no one notices. But it turns out, He made me into a bee. Okay. Then just ignore brainout, and get the content He wants you to get. It belongs to you, not to me. ☺️

And now, you own it, not 'brainout'. For God's Disclosure belongs to everyone. Treasure in earthen vessels.

Since it belongs to you, then you have to vet it. Since it belongs to you and you have to vet it, You Have To Vet It Before God, and In Bible. So you can't claim you read some book by some 'respectable' person, and that is why you believe. Too many books claiming to be about the Bible, being read and believed; but the Bible itself, is not consulted. You realize that's like everyone who wants to know something about you, going to people who don't know you very well, right? Going to anyone but you for confirmation of information claimed about you. In a court of law, it's called "hearsay evidence" and is inadmissible. Yet it's okay to rely on hearsay evidence rather than the Bible which is in every hotel room? Yuck!

Okay, so you can't do that here. I document where I get what I get from Bible, so that you can audit it. And after that, since you audited it, it's your material, not mine, since the Bible belongs to everyone on the planet. No quoting 'brainout', since you don't know who brainout is. So you have to do your own homework. And then, you own that. ☺️☺️☺️


13. The Bible is a corrupted book of myths. How can you believe in it? The Bible proves itself Divinely true to anyone who reads it carefully. For it takes God's Perspicacity to comprehend the Bible, and He gives that to you, as you read. The Bible is an extremely sophisticated book and requires one study it with care. Few do that, so their ineptitude is blamed on the Bible. See, the Bible is supposed to be the Word of God so it must be written in a manner which displays God in all His facets. That way you know human ability and intelligence aren't corrupting the book. So, it takes time to analyze and vet.

The chief mechanism Bible uses to display Divine Authorship is a rhetorical device today called "parallelism". How things are similar. This parallelism begins in Genesis 1:1 and threads throughout the Bible. Each verse beginning at the beginning, introduces or elaborates on concepts and principles which were covered prior. Thus, for example, when you read the Book of Daniel, everything prior to that Book which was Divine Writ, must be threaded into and through, Daniel. Very precise threading is required. So for example in Daniel, the book is about the end of time, because time was supposed to end with the destruction of the Temple. So the question became, why didn't time end? Revelation is on the same theme as Daniel, and for the same reason.

So, in Daniel, the answer to why Time did not end, is predicated on a promise which gave birth to the Temple's destruction in the first place, a Time promise which is the primary Accounting Piece for voting period, since Adam: 70 years. If that contingency was met (enough voting positive, unlike the Flood), then history would be granted; Daniel is gradually told in parallelism, how that future history would play. He's not given the whole story at once, because it will not play all at once, and because it will play in parallelism. So the beast that was Babylon, is first presented, but it is an archetype, parallel to future beasts to follow it. So thesaural versions of the first beast, are the rest. See the pattern?

In Revelation, these threads from Daniel, are all finalized. That's one way you know Revelation is the last book of the Bible. All the threads, complete. So forget all the goofy nonsense of revelation given after 96 AD. It is finished. Time, threads, everything.

Thus you have parallelism in the sense of a continuing thesaural series of analogies all linked together, and you have parallelism in the sense of further discourse/revelation about the same topics, carrying forward in time and purpose. For, the Bible is a sheaf of legal documents about the Angelic Trial of which we humans are the witnesses. So you have depositional parallelisms, contractual parallelisms, forensic parallelisms, etc. All the material you need to prove God exists, is actually within the text itself. 100% proof, is there.

Think of it as a tapestry. If there's a weaving error in the tapestry, you could say it was of human origin. If no weaving error, then it has to be of divine origin. Now, if the tapestry has no flaws but someone comes in and attacks some of the threads, then those would be visible, a forensic task which alike uncovers when and who and how the attacks, were made. So it is with this woven Word. We can tell where it was attacked, and what was changed. So now you know two things: 1) that the original is Divine, and 2) how someone tried to de-Vine it. That's more information than if you only had 1)! So what some call corruptions, actually prove the Bible more Divine than ever. It also helps to highlight certain doctrines you never once paid much attention to.

A common argument which makes me chuckle is that "perfection" of Bible ought to be defined in terms of form. So if there is a scribal error, then it's not from God. Now, think about the fallacy of that premise. If Bible had to be perfect in form to be from God, how can you learn the Divine Power of perfecting you? Yet if you get from God as you read, the very message He intended from the text, however mangled it seems in form — then you see how God can perfect you, too.

The claim of Bible's Perfection is called "Verbal Plenary Inspiration". Meaning, that God so supernaturally empowered the writers, that without waiving anything in their own personality or nature, He nonetheless transmits His Complete Communication to mankind exactly as He intended, perfectly. So now think: if some scribe miscopied something or left out some portion of that original Divine Writ, God would know that. God would therefore know how to make sure that some other scribe included a correct version of what got messed up. In conjunction with the poetic meter, it adds an extra layer of self-correction. So in aggregate, you have all the same words as God originally intended. We have so many copies, it becomes easy to know where the errors are. Yeah, there are a lot of errors. You just try to type many sentences and see how often you must backspace or correct them later. Moreover, most of the errors are like this: "ths eror n neeeds t b corected." Can't you still tell what the sentence means?

Moreover, the form errors teach you stuff as well:

So I'm glad the text isn't perfect in form: I learn Bible so much better due to those errors!

Clever way for God to prove Himself to you, huh. So it remains true that despite imperfections in form, that the Word of God is indeed inerrant and infallible — which truth, God will gladly prove to you as you read His Word. I see that proof every single day, even when I don't want to see it. The proof is overwhelming. So I can empathize with people who want to run away from God. I just can't do it anymore, that's all.

In sum, the content of the Bible, its perspicacity, prophecy, and myriads of other information, always foils its critics, generation after generation. People misread it, and prove to have been slipshod in their homework. People are stumped by the meanings, and within their lifetimes the stumps are removed. At the very time when people were stumped by some of the words in the Greek text of Bible, Hebrew text was found to prove where the Greek had been ineptly de-vined. When people were stumped by locations in the Bible, there was some archeological discovery which helped them prove the locations. For example, for centuries people had no proof Babylon existed, but weren't stumped by it; so too, many other places cited in the Bible, were buried under tons of rubble. Yet those places were unearthed, during the lifetime of people contesting their Biblical validity.

In short, there's no book like the Bible for coherency and accuracy. And in time, God 'answers' all objections. Right on time, too. In parallelism. Two Witnesses. Two Natures. God-man, get it?

Now, I suppose to someone whose interest in God is nearly zero or negative, the Bible wouldn't make much sense. Neither, would nuclear physics. And, therefore being unable to read it, such a negative person would blame the book for the person's own inability. Thus such a person would call it corrupted, and a 'myth'. Fine. The rest of us will go right on learning and living on it, growing in Him.


14. What do you mean by Scripture verses having "multistoried meanings"? Are you an allegorist?

Not at all. If anything, I think even those among us who recognize that Scripture should be literally interpreted, aren't being literal enough. The multistoried-meaning comments are meant to show God literally means what He says, and in more detail than we give credence. For example, Christ updates Psalm 82:6 in John 10:34-36: note the very clever wording on the upgrade, in John 10:36. Literally. Sons from the Son. Oh, but we don't take Him literally, and deem ourselves 'humble'! What arrogance.

What's the point of getting the "mind of Christ" if it won't transform our thinking, Romans 12:1-3? And if our thinking is transformed to become His, what does that make us, functionally? If the Holy Spirit is God and He is; if He runs our thinking, and He does; then we are "sons of God in Christ Jesus" — literally.

Notice then, the storeys:

Hebrews 1:3 ὃς ὢν ἀπαύγασμα τῆς δόξης καὶ χαρακτὴρ τῆς ὑποστάσεως αὐτοῦ, φέρων τε τὰ πάντα τῷ ῥήματι τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτοῦ, καθαρισμὸν τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν ποιησάμενος ἐκάθισεν ἐν δεξιᾷ τῆς μεγαλωσύνης ἐν ὑψηλοῖς,

Hebrews 3:14 μέτοχοι γὰρ τοῦ Χριστοῦ γεγόναμεν, ἐάνπερ τὴν ἀρχὴν τῆς ὑποστάσεως μέχρι τέλους βεβαίαν κατάσχωμεν,

Hebrews 11:1 Ἔστιν δὲ πίστις ἐλπιζομένων ὑπόστασις, πραγμάτων ἔλεγχος οὐ βλεπομένων.

We sell God's literal purpose in Christ, quintessentially expressed in Isaiah 53:10-11's five infinitives (with LXX transformatives), quoted endlessly throughout the New Testament — at too low a level, in both pulpits and common conversation. Because, we are uncomfortable interpreting Scripture literally. Hence our anthropocentric teaching and Bible academia is sickening. It's not about sin. It's not about what the usually-retarded Church Fathers or Reformers thought or taught. It's not about the history of Christianity, or its various, always-dinky theologies. It's about christ. Literally. Forget everything else.

Sorry to be so harsh, but it's the sordid printout of Churchinanity's history that we mouth "God" all the time, but learn Him, not at all. We learn the names of scholars, rattling them off like mathematicians have to do (i.e., Planck's Constant, named after a guy rather than a descriptive name). So we endlessly quote other people, rather than going back to the Word directly. So we learn our rituals, our arguments with each other, our theological positions — but not God.

And if we really paid proper attention to our history, we'd realize that about every 200 years since the Cross, interest in Bible turns "dull", νόθρος.

So we learn from history that we learn nothing from history. Just as God literally predicted, and as He faithfully portrayed by giving us His 490-year Accounting for Time Scheme from Adam forward — a scheme very clearly displayed directly in the Bible, but Christendom has yet to learn it. Instead, we seek to date from extra-Biblical sources, we read the Bible wrong, and then blame the Bible for being obtuse. Literally.


15. Oh, you're just parroting your pastor or imposing your presuppositions on Bible like everyone else.

There is a time when that argument can be made: when the person hasn't vetted his beliefs or the pastor's teaching. Most Christians haven't done this, and I'd not have done it either, for I'm as lazy as anyone else: but I didn't understand the "big picture" so I really didn't know what to believe. God, I believe. Everyone else including me, better pay cash upfront. ☺️

Still, I don't know until and unless I can see it in Bible. So a pastor's real job is to teach you how to read Bible yourself. Just like in any other school, the teacher teaches you his own learning, so you then can see for yourself, independently. When it comes to the Bible, you never outgrow a teacher (and frankly that remains true in all other disciplines as well) — but you do reach a point where you don't need to hold to a certain view. Your need changes to "what's really the truth?"

People who tell you they only care about the truth are many. You can tell if their claims are true, by the way they listen, correct themselves, and keep revising what they believe true. That's supposed to be how science works, but in fact it has stuck its heels in the thoroughly-groundless, 'theory' (really, bad hypothesis) of evolution. Same, with many Christians. They claim to only want the truth, but like the evolutionists, don't do their homework.

Seeing how everyone else is biased and gets it wrong, I trust myself, not at all. So I'm writing to test coherence of what I think I know of Bible, from Bible. And if Bible disagrees with me on some point, then I change. No problem. I can't possibly know Truth as well as it truly is, so there's always a correction needed. That's not a flaw, that's called Learning.

Often I'll appear dogmatic, but that's only because I've done everything I know of to disprove or prove a tenet in Bible, and there's no competing conclusion. That still doesn't mean I understand the proven conclusion as well as I should. So the certainty you see in the webpages, doesn't mean anything about me at all — but rather it's certainty about the tenet in question, based usually on the reasons stated (space permitting).

So there's no guarantee that what you see in these pages today, will be here tomorrow. Depends on what 'corrections' I need.


16. Oh, there's a lot of new and unproven theology in your webpages. You should stick with what's proven.

Actually, nothing in the webpages is new. Uncommon, yes. Rarely known today, yes. Not known maybe for 2000 years — the 490-year Accounting for Time Doctrine went lost beginning with those spiritual retards, the 'Church Fathers', rejecting Rapture — yes. But certainly not 'new'. It's all in the Bible, and that's how I learned the 'theology' you see in the webpages. I wasn't trying to develop one. I was trying to see how all the doctrinal pieces fit together, and test. That a 'theology' came out from all this which largely happens to agree with what my pastor taught, was a surprise. I didn't expect it, and it didn't matter. So again, you can't say the information here is unique. For he'd been teaching it for 53 years. I just didn't see the proof. Now, I do. Now, you can too.

Frankly, much of the material flies above our conventional theological divisions, so demonstrates commonalities in all of them. The biggest 'theology' which came out from the writing is a refinement and extreme elaboration on: a) the Nature of God, and b) the nature of His Plan for our lives. You could add a: c), total proof that the Rapture is valid (that surprises me no end, because I was always neutral about the Rapture, and should not have been). You could also add a: d), how the devil messes with us, in more empirically-provable detail than I can find elsewhere. Yet a) - d) is but corollaic to fundamental doctrines we all (at least should) know. So you can prove them. That's the other purpose of the webpages: provability.

Now, that most people don't know of this information is quite beside the point. And, now that the pages exist and the information can be tested, it doesn't matter that I got the information one way, but you another way, because it's all in the Bible and can be proven many ways.

Reiterating: these webpages came about because I did not understand what my pastor taught, so he got it from Bible, but no pastor can sufficiently explain within only one hour's daily class. So, I asked God. Really, it was that simple. Because my pastor taught Bible in the original language texts, I was able to read it to see, asking God the meanwhile, constantly being 'reminded' (principle of John 14:26) of places in Bible to look test, analyze. 60-hour research weeks, 8 years of them. So now, I understand. Anyone else can do the same thing.

That's why you use 1 John 1:9 and ask God for more information. Same as when you go to regular school, you have homework to do; the teacher can't say all that needs to be learned. Since this is God's Word and He knows what He means and what He gave your pastor to teach, He can teach you. He won't do that, if you don't ask. But if you do ask, when you are between sins you can learn, and indeed prove fully what He means. It takes God's Power — after all, God Alone Knows What He Means. So if you ask, then you too can learn. If you don't ask, then you don't learn.

The problem is we don't ask. We think we're supposed to learn on our own power, and we pride ourselves on how much we fantasize we know. Or, we pride ourselves on being unable to know, excusing our ignorance in the name of human limitations — as if God were so incompetent or cruel, He'd not be able to bridge that limitation gap. So if you don't know, ask. Else, go do something else. Most wasted life on the planet, is a religious one. Either study Bible to learn God for Himself, or go do something else.


17. Oh, what you write here will revolutionize Christianity!

No, what God wrote in Bible revolutionizes Christianity. I'm only evidence that any ol' brainout can learn Bible. So now you have the information too, and if you understand it such that you make this comment, then God gave you that information, not me. So, see? You Own It Just As Much As I Do. It's not 'my' writing. It's Bible's, using a donkey mouth. Which, any brainout can know.

That's why I'm anonymous. There are too many 'Christian' books, too many 'authors' being credited, too little Bible being consulted, today. If you don't know who 'brainout' is, then you can't credit me. It's not my material, it's Bible. Which, when you prove it yourself before God, becomes His Gift to you, and I'm not involved.

We get to replace our thinking with His. We don't have to live for ourselves, we don't have to run on the hamster's treadmill of constantly crediting ourselves or other people. We can just live to God, for God, of God, in God, 2 Corinthians 5:14-21. Whew. That's a revolutionary relief, huh.


18. Oh, I hear your pastor is a false teacher!

Jesus the Christ is both admired and hated by millions of people ever since He was here. So millions of people in history speak well and ill of Him. So too, Hitler was admired and hated by millions of people ever since he was living down here. So, many people in history speak well and ill of him. Who do you believe? Well if you're a stupid herd-bound person who doesn't care about truth, you'll just follow your associates, and chirp the same thing. So if you're correct, you're still wrong, because you didn't do your own homework, but went with 'your' crowd.

Now, the crowd aligning with one 'side' or another of a person will be a great testimony to the truth or the falsehood of that side. For when one takes a position on someone else, if the position is false — the falsehood infects. So those anti- a person who is good, will display a growing soul sickness: progressively more petty, progressively more incompetent in comprehension, articulation, progressively more obsessed, judgmental, prone to believing wilder and wilder lies. In a word, childish.

By contrast, when one takes a true position on someone else — the truth 'infects'. Such a one will display a growing soul health: becomes progressively more generous (overlooking slights), more competent in comprehension, articulation; rather than becoming obsessive, the person becomes progressively more relaxed, far less inclined to be judgmental, and is more and more attuned to rationality. In a word, mature.

Granted, both those who believe falsehoods (here, about a person) and those who believe truths, have their articulate spokesmen — and their wackos. Just as fans of a good baseball player can be themselves crazy (i.e., killing someone who didn't like that baseball player, in the name of that player) — so also fans of any teacher can be crazy... or well-composed. So you can't go by behavior to evaluate the accuracy of a person's judgment about someone else. You have to evaluate the 'player', himself.

Hearsay is inadmissible in court. Now you know why. So whatever you hear, ask: is this 'witness' sound of mind? And even if you think 'yes', are you right before God, to just accept that person's hearsay? Would you want that done of you?

Notice I didn't answer the implied accusation in your question. God will; His is the only testimony which matters. God answers for and defends those He sent, beginning with His Son. God also answers for those He did not send, Jeremiah 26-28.


19. Why don't you quote your sources?

I do quote sources, where relevant, and I always provide Bible backup. However, generally this question is directed in reaction to statements which the reader hasn't heard authoritatively stated by some other human. I can't help what the reader doesn't know. And what I write, is generally provable by thinking over what's said, by recourse to Bible, especially in the original language texts, by recourse to lexicons, and by googling. In short, what I write is either rarely discussed, or is downplayed in public. Everyone knows, for example, that translated Bibles are full of errors. The public doesn't like to hear that, so not much about the fact is publicly said.

Thus the horror of a KJV-Only movement, results. Or how about this other common example, which is even older in its pimping: the Calvinist lie that Dispensationalism is an invention by Darby or Plymouth Brethren in the 19th century, or an invention of some woman who used 'Rapture' to mean a thrill. In short, they claim 'Rapture' is "not a Bible term." 🤦

Au Contraire! 'Rapture' is Anglicized from Latin word rapto, and it's used to translate ἁρπάζω in 1 Thessalonians 4:17. That means it is a "Bible word". Since Calvinism is founded on the antisemitic idea that Israel is replaced by Church, the fact that Jews are dispensationalists based on Psalm 90 is shunted aside. So the correct doctrine of Dispensations (and there are many incorrect versions) is denied by a patent lie that the idea was suddenly 'born' in the 1800's. See: respectable Calvinist 'scholars' long pander this lie, along with many garden-variety Lordship Salvationists, proving they hate God's Word. So their niceness, their 'scholarship' is all tainted by a need to defend anti-semitic Calvin.

You have to tell the sheep where the bones are buried, for sooner or later those bones will surface. Scholars and pastors are very reluctant to do that. I can't be reluctant. I know where the bodies are, as do millions of other people conversant with the manuscripts. Maybe they can stay silent, but I cannot.

This creates a dilemma. If I were to individually document all the sources proving how well known are the controversies, those quoted might suffer taint. In fact, that is the primary reason why those 'in the know', don't fess up. Still, you can find much of this material if you dig.

Additionally, the way the material 'adds up' to the conclusions you find in my webpages, is original research. You're given the information, how I got what I got, and then it's up to you if you agree on how I connected the 'dots' of information. You agree or you do not. That is your free right before the Lord. So again, it's not a lack of providing sources, but rather the fact the researched conclusions don't quote some 'respectable' person, in the reader's opinion. Again, that's a matter between God and you.

Bible is meant to be The Authority. So I use it. Any drunk in Calcutta who correctly recites the Gospel is still using an authority. That Authority is not tainted due to the fact that a drunk cites it. Neither is my authority an issue since I'm using the Bible.

Now, a lot of people all claim to be using the Bible, that the Bible proves what they say true, etc., please kneel here. They are trying to advance an agenda, they have something to sell. I don't have an agenda I need you to 'buy'. Instead, I need to document how something in the Bible proves a given contention or disproves it. I'm really interested in the Wording of the Word, because that's the only way you can be sure of what it says. Sadly, people don't pay enough attention to the 'boring' stuff, the articles, prepositions, tenses, idioms, and important rhetorical styles like meter, which even today scholars dispute exists. Okay, then: if you don't look at what the Bible says, you won't know what it says. But you will, hallucinate.

So here's the sad answer: we Christians have gotten away from the Bible. So too, the scholars. Instead, everyone quotes the hearsay of someone else, be he an 'expert' or not. That's a despicable practice which gives rise to non-thinking use of Bible, and many a heresy has resulted. People prefer to believe based on the attractiveness of a person, rather than the Truth of the Bible.

Sorry, I won't cave into that by making long bibliographies of 'sources' I've actually consulted, so you'll think well of me and what I say. That shouldn't be how you analyze. Experts lie. They are paid to lie. Not all experts, surely. But enough of them. Every denomination, every courtroom, has its 'experts' who are paid to agree with whatever the 'employer' wants said. So how do you vet the 'experts'?

Only one way to vet: use 1 John 1:9, ask God while you read, to testify to the accuracy or inaccuracy of what you read. That's what I'm relying on you doing, when I write. That's what I do as I write, and I'm constantly throwing stones at what I write, at my videos, non-stop. It's called auditing, and that's the constant practice John bids us do, in 1 John 4:1-6, a passage every Christian knows. So why aren't we doing it?

See: You Go By Content, and analyze it Before The Lord, Job 34:3. Or, don't. Your call.


20. What are your credentials?

I get this question, often. We sheep are so mindless now, we consider nothing authoritative until and unless the person saying it has some initials after his name. We don't realize how easy it is to get a degree and yet never learn a thing. I can hire an 'expert' with 20 quite respectable-and-valid initials after his name for any position I want to take, at law. Or, Bible interpretation. The expert will hedge if he must, 'the data suggest', or 'it can be argued that', or 'it is possible' or 'scholars concur that' (not telling you how many, how good, how recent, or who). Fudge words.

My 'credentials' are the Bible itself. Its own words. If you can't read them and know what it says, then you have to talk to God. Use 1 John 1:9 like breathing, or you don't get His Perspicacity, so Bible will just be hot air, to you. That's the one Credential everyone needs, no matter how fluent they are with Bible words. Absent the Spirit's brains, your interpretation is toast.

I learned how to read those words under a pastor who was anal about Hebrew and Greek words, syntax, grammar, and taught them daily. After 40 years, that knowledge gets inside even a brainout. And so I'm anal, too. If I find a mistake (and I always do), I fix it.

I read a lot. I throw stones at everything, especially my own interpretations, because I'm always sure they are wrong. And I revise, edit, redo. That's it.

So finally, my credentials aren't mine, but God's. He will testify if He's "in" what you read/watch among 'my' stuff. Or, if I made a mistake. That's the best testimony there is, and even Balaam's ass can correctly interpret Scripture, if God is "in" it.

God will not be "in" it, if you are slovenly about study. You can't just use 1 John 1:9, open the Bible and instantly know all of what a verse means. You have to plod. You have to dig. You have to ask questions. You have to Compare Scripture With Scripture. So it ends up meaning you have to do, all those things which the people who have credentials, learned to do. Research. Doubt. Rethink. Reanalyze. Never Stand Pat On An Interpretation, for whatever you correctly know, you don't know all of it correctly enough. So even though God can make Balaam's ass correctly interpret Scripture, He expects us human donkeys to care about how He words His Word, by Seeking Diligently To Know — from Him. That's Hebrews 11:6.

So notice: too many scholars don't ask God about meaning, but go to other scholars' interpretations, catalog them, decide among them, and then take a position. So too, many an uneducated person goes by the hearsay of his friends, family, pastor, 'spiritual giant' (in his uninformed opinion). Again, eschewing consulting God. Not good.

Does that mean you should therefore reject all you hear by others? No, dummy. It means you ask God. That was in the first sentence. God. First. Ask. Him. So look how you honor your pastor, your friends, your family, if you do that: God can tell you more about what you heard, and what it means. So if those people were right about what they said, God will vindicate what they said to you, since HE would have given it to them to say it rightly, in the first place.

And why? To save you, time. But you save nothing, if you don't ask. In fact, you spit on your friends, your pastor, your family if you don't ask, for what if they had a bad hair day and gave you wrong information? Or, worse: if they gave you right information and you don't question it, then you're disinterested. (That's the norm, too. We agree to fit in, not because we really believe something.) And of course, your non-questioning can be defended as 'loyalty', even though a truly loyal person would pepper questions right and left, in order to be more loyal in his understanding.

See? Not asking God, is disrespecting Him. Not asking God, is disrespecting them. For if they are wrong, they wouldn't want you believing what they believe. And if they are right, they wouldn't want you believing because they are right, but because of God!

So it's a hybrid: you use 1 John 1:9 like breathing and keep on asking God. And, you apply yourself with the discipline and tools of the academic. God will enable that. I can't tell you how many times He caused me to know a grammar or syntax rule instantly while I was going over a passage. Then afterwards, I have to go look it up (due diligence, testing the spirits) and I find it in some academic tome. Then I learn more. In short, God will save you time in learning, but that's not an excuse to avoid learning.

Of course, if you want to know what God means, rather than preen over how smart you are, you will want to learn. Just to know Him. All too often people use Bible and Bible scholarship as a weapon or a preening device. It's not God, they want to know. So, they won't know Him or His Word. No matter how educated they are. No matter how dumb they are.

See: the Content Matters. So if it matters to you, then you go to whatever lengths are needed to learn it. That's what σπουδάζω means, and why translators often mistranslate it as 'be diligent', cutting out the motive behind the motions, turning one's interest in God (the real reason why God enables you to know) into a preening function you do yourself.

So the bottom line, is this. Your Credentials come from God, first. They won't turn on except between sins. Meaning: you had better use 1 John 1:9 like breathing or you will fancy yourself in the light, but be in darkness, 1 John 1:6. And yes you apply yourself with all the discipline of an academic. Which you won't do, even if an academic, if you don't want to know God.

Sadly, many a pastor or Bible scholar has slipped into a worldly routine with God as a Designer Label. Truth to tell, many of them are weary from all the denominational infighting, the masses with their goofy ideas (like the Campingites) who a scholar or pastor is obliged to rebut; they are tired out from the same basic questions, the same childish debates. They have family life and obligations, and it becomes too easy (understandably so) to just cop out, go with the flow.

So Christian theology has been in the playpen for centuries. Degreed, respectable, basic, childish, ever learning and never coming to a buildable knowledge of God (2 Timothy 3:7).

That's why people are leaving churches. That's why God had John the Baptist, a valid Levite priest, stay away from the Temple and go into the wilderness. But even so, you need a teacher, and under that teacher you need to be quite serious about How God Words His Word. Or, you can just spend your life, playing with your diapers. 💩

End Commercial Message.



Site Purpose, My Bias

Initial "excellency of the knowledge" (Philippians 3:8) co-affidavit...

Like David says in Psalms 139:17's Hebrew, only God's Thoughts make life worth living. In fact, so worth living, all else by comparison, is only worth what you can see of HIM, in it. For, God is so gorgeous: knowing Him, seeing Him, that's what 'joy' means (Hebrews 12:2). Emotion? Too small! Cheap substitute! Instead, you end up exulting in His Thinking, even amidst bad circumstances. So gorgeous, in fact, that "all the kingdoms of the world", all blessings of this life you could ever want, even if you had them all forever! Are boring, compared to knowing Him in this body.

Conclusion: Nothing in this life or the Eternal State compares to the amount of Knowing-Him Intimacy which we Church can get with the God and Our Christ through the Spirit, courtesy of the Father, Who from Eternity past thus endowers us for His Own Benefit and to Benefit His Son (Ephesians 1, Romans 8:11-end), beginning while we are still alive down here.

I, "brainout", hereby testify that the foregoing is Absolutely and experientially true, even in this body. You don't have to die to 'go to Heaven', but it does take a lifetime to grow up in Him. Absolutely worth it, too. End affidavit.


Site Purpose

Priest-Kings in training don't rule over each other, but they often learn from watching each other. ☺️ For, we are all now under the Royal Law (James 2:8, see also its Old Testament lower-grade version in Leviticus 19:18). So, my fellow Crown Prince, whatever your social standing, accoutrements, or sex, the real purpose of 'my' sites is a Priest-kingly one: to encourage your own enjoyment in the study of the Lord, as the Holy Spirit enables it, via 1 John 1:9. For, this is a spiritual role, requiring spiritual brains: His. Apart from Him, we are all brained-out! So, then: it's always insightful to compare one's thoughts with another, so to better "audit" one's own thoughts for spiritual accounting flaws. For my #scripture friends who tell me: "why aren't you here more often, brainout", I wish I could be there!

So, my webpages are not intended to 'sell' a particular denominational view, but rather to help brainstorming, and exposure-to-ideas. Because, each prospective king must do his own due diligence, never closing the ears. Frankly, all my webpages are my own due diligence before the Lord, never mind whether anyone else ever reads them. I don't internalize Bible well until and unless I write a report on what I learn. So whether you should even read what's written, is between God and you, wholly unrelated to 'me'.

One of Christendom's biggest evils is that believers consider it 'evil' to hear something they consider 'unscriptural'. Oh, that holy sense of judging someone else! So millions of human beings have been physically or psychically murdered and maimed, as a result. Worse, such believers never grow up spiritually. For if you cannot account for the divergences from your own belief about what's 'scriptural', then a) you don't even understand what you think is right, and b) you can still be wrong. So notice how the very evil they seek to avoid hearing, they themselves end up being! For ability to translate religious vocabulary into other discipline's terms, ability to simply explain, and most of all — ability to analyze what you think you know, are all part of spiritual due diligence. Just read how the Lord talks to people in the Gospels, constantly exhorting them to Think Over what Scripture they know. And He Himself was accounted evil, by them.

This evil has many sources, and we are all to blame. The teachers demean their congregations, thinking the material in Bible must be simplified, as if the Power of the Holy Spirit wasn't specified in John 4:24. The students demean their teachers and God also, by thinking the Bible ought to be some soundbyte-like magic thing you thump, rather than think out. The politicians make use of all the prejudice around God-concepts, rallying whomever they want to their side.. And (cagily) against their opponents'. All in the name of God, of course. Satan laughs his head off. And we dumb-bunny Christians, forever retard in spiritual babyhood. For if you are in training to be a king and you refuse God's System, then you, not those others, are responsible. So you, irrespective of the others, will be forever retarded. Yeah, saved: but as what? A drooling baby? Sure, even a 'baby' then will be light-years smarter than any babyish person down here, but... do you want to settle for that result? I bet not!

Yet we Christians always stay in the sandbox, preferring the nice warm fuzzies of babyhood to the 'pain' of growing up. For Christendom still doesn't account for its beliefs, and our egregious lack of accounting shows us up for the hypocrites we prove ourselves to be. God doesn't matter to us; truth doesn't matter to us; why God chooses, doesn't matter to us: we just use the Bible like a bludgeoning instrument, to beat everyone into 'our' line of interpretation. So why should anyone believe in Him, huh? If 'holy' means to be bludgeoned all the time, why do we have a Bible, rather than a truncheon? So whether or not what's said in 'my' webpages is 'right', it's still helpful for the sake to purview the accounting method. After all, a wrong belief can be easily changed, but the method of fixing it, is still the same: Due Diligence.

The so-called scientific method, all academic research, all accounting and auditing procedures, and all military science, have rigorous self-testing standards. Bible is completely adamant about it, with whole letters like 1 John dedicated to explaining how you test in the Spirit (1 John 1:9, else not in the Truth). If we don't audit our beliefs, we'll not catch the inevitable errors which humanity is prone to. Christianity has not done this, historically, which accounts for the welter of conflicts in translation and interpretation over the centuries. Instead of picking on the other guy's beliefs, then, audit your own. So, that's what I'm doing here. Any ideas you pick up from reviewing the material, are between God and you, so be sure to clear it with God before you do much reading of these sites.

For Our priesthood, which supersedes all other roles and designations in life, has no denomination, except "kata Melchizedek": the name of the Lord's Order of Priesthood, to which we belong. (Read Hebrews 5; whole book is on this topic.) So: "denominations" are merely belief-system monikers people invented to define themselves relative to other people. The spiritual life, by contrast, is solely what you and you alone are thinking "before the Lord": your inner relationship with God, 24 hours-a-day. The inner life has no "denomination", for it is relationship/rapport with God, not religion. For, as it stands written, "One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism." We are all one kingdom-of-priests in Christ, not some man-defined denomination. The much-abused and mistranslated Ephesians 4:13 is not "to a unity of faith", but "because of the system from Doctrine"... which you can also prove, given the rest of the verse: "even by means of believed-knowledge of the Son of God"..L.1603, plus Ephesians 1985 exegesis. The system is Doctrine, His Thinking, not a denomination or every-Christian-has-same-faith, for crying out loud. Why is it people always give Scripture a man-centered spin?

So please don't assume that what I write is either accurate, or some sales gimmick. Instead, Test The Writing For Sense, before the Lord, breathing 1 John 1:9 as necessary, so you won't be Brainless in your reading. It doesn't matter if we have the 'same' faith; it doesn't matter if, person-to-person, we are correct in our doctrines. The Relationship is Vertical, never horizontal: He is Your Lord; He is My Lord. You are not my lord, nor I yours; so, it's not an issue between us whether one is more, or less, 'correct'; this, because each believer is connected in Him, not directly to each other. So: via the writing I'm truly trying to independently 'see' better what I've learned; simultaneously, why alternative interpretations do or don't fit Bible. Then, I write as if it were 'homework', an essay exam. Since these webpages are public, I must also rephrase the explanation in terms of Bible-related concepts the average person should know (rather than the specialized method of my own church). For, it's not about denominations or interpersonal faith differences, It's about our being Royally Trained for Father. Everything else is meaningless and boring.

When we are children, we quite naturally ape what we see and hear. We consider that loyal, too. Children cannot love, but they can be loyal. Love requires maturity, and at this point the child is Learning the underpinnings of thought. So, he apes. So, when we spiritual children are under pastors, denominations, in groups — we think that anything which doesn't ape the superficials of 'our' group, must be wrong. Well, that's not true. So until we grow past such childish definitions of loyalty and love, we will constantly wrangle in the sandbox: my 'daddy'/pastor/denomination/group is better than your 'daddy'/(etc). Historically, the bulk of Christians Remain in This Sandbox, Stultifying the Learning of their church group, their family, their affiliations, and their nation. For no nation is any better than the Christians, in it. God proved that through the story of Israel, and He proves it historically: "Thinking" series (accessible from the Home Page, near top-right) traces out that contention. Because, we really are Crown Princes in training, and all the world is affected by how we either grow up, or... remain in the sandbox.

You Must Think Out What You Learn, To Grow. You must grow past the childish loyalty to friends, parents, teachers — to blossom into True Honor, which is true love: God's. As a king-in-training, this is even more vital, for if you do not grow out of the childish phase, neither will your periphery. Hence these webpages.

Bizarre circumstances gave birth to these webpages. I can't stand Windows, but I needed email, so I got WebTV in August 1999. Then I discovered Christian 'chat'. Then it became necessary to write webpages, because people wanted me to explain what I had learned, but my fingers couldn't keep up with all their questions. Since WebTV requires you be online for all webpage composition, my telephone bills became astronomical (in my area, telephone usage is expensive, per minute even for local calls). So, I had intended in April 2000, to quit WebTV, quit chat and website writing. By 'chance' (yeah, right, no accidents in the Christian's life) at that very time a janitor in my building had found a Windows computer in the trash, which he insisted must be for me. So, he saved it, waiting until he saw me (he didn't know where in the building, I lived, nor did he know my last name, so couldn't learn where I lived). Two weeks later he ran into me, and told me all this. I did not want the computer, thinking that he should have it, instead. He would not take my "no" for an answer. His name was "Jesús" (honest)! He didn't know (and I didn't tell him) about my WebTV, nor what I was doing with it. He didn't know I was thinking of quitting it, either: only God knew that. Ok: what would you do in my place? I took the computer, and guess what — it was chat-ready, internet ready! By the programs on it, I learned what to buy at Office Depot, and... hence these webpages.


So should you read any of 'my' webpages? Here are my 'biases': you decide if you want to read further.

First 'bias', the matzah: the Holy Spirit is the Sovereign Executive for disseminating truth.

He can and does use any human agency. Back in the Old Testament, He even used Balaam's donkey! So, He might use this material. If the Holy Spirit decides to use this material, that's His Decision, and is a private matter between Him and the reader — it has nothing to do with 'me'. So I don't need or want to know who reads these sites. It's none of my business.

For, everyone of any faith is generally positive to at least some small portion of the Truth, and God the Holy Spirit exploits that positive volition. His Truth always "flanks" falsehood, by letting falsehood freely operate. So, while I'm not shy about saying what I understand to be correct or in error (and why), you won't find that these sites vilify 'the heretic', either. Frankly, every belief system, whether Christian or not, has at least a few very beautiful and apt tenets which help an open-minded person better see the True Light that is Bible. The Eastern religions, for example, often recognize what Western Christianity misses: the total harmony of opposites. Western Christianity, by contrast, focuses too much on judging sin, ignoring that sin was nailed to the Cross so it would not be an issue. Each Christian sect also has a few brilliantly-defined doctrines, but.. Unfortunately uses them to compete with other Christian sects, rather than to amalgamate the meanings together to better see the whole.

Granted, there is only one way to be permanently saved (at least once believe Christ paid for all your sins — Faith Alone in Christ Alone); granted, there is also only one way to grow in Christ: God's System and "1 John's Outline of God's Script"). Yet there are many ways to come to the cognitive point where you know these facts. So of course, there is no one "right" Christian denomination, particularly since man is fallible, but the Bible is not. What's "right", is instead the Uppermost Truth: the individual growing up in Christ, For Father! "Christ in you, the Confident Expectation of Glory!" (Colossians 1:25-27.) Truth is a mosaic: Him. So we've all got pieces of the truth, and pieces of falsehood, in our beliefs. The trick is to use 1 John 1:9, stay open, not to stand pat, and to keep refining our understanding.

Now, if He uses something accurate in these pages, and the reader is not ready for that truth at that time, the reader might become hostile... but at least he was exposed. The Holy Spirit will recall it to his mind (John 14:26 principle) later on. That's the Holy Spirit's self-chosen job. My job vis á vis others, to the extent I have one, is to succinctly answer/explain what I've learned. Therefore, I don't list all the verses which back up an interpretation: the Holy Spirit will furnish proof to the reader who wants it, when that reader is ready for such proof. Thus the reader can know of confirmatory verses directly from Him, just as I have. That is part of your privilege and post, as Priest.

Second 'bias', the Cup: God uses everything to teach everyone,
Especially via errors; since teaching makes profit For Father,
Out from error 'costs'. This all happened on the Cross.
So there is no need for shame, guilt, or recrimination.
So there is no need to dwell on the past, Philippians 3:13.
So there is no need to be coy about error.
Rather, need to Drink Word, Isaiah 55, Romans 5:5!

Even the most brilliant of statesmen, generals, scholars, make blunders. It's part and parcel of being human. The bigger the person's role, the bigger he is talent/genius-wise, the bigger his blunders will be. Not, smaller. For, everything in his life is bigger, so more is affected by even the otherwise-smallest mistake he makes. If Hitler had remained an Austrian corporal, history would (well, perhaps) be quite different. If Christ hadn't come, history would be very different. So, for big gains, there must be a Hypostatic Obverse: big losses. You learn this the hard way when you invest. And, hopefully, you learn to learn from the mistakes, the losses, rather than learn to perpetually react to them. For, that would be the biggest loss, of all.

So, as you might know, it has long been a tradition in the historical, economics, and military sciences to study errors made by others in the field. This is particularly true in military training. The point is, an error Napoleon made in the past can easily be repeated by 'me', so I want to see clearly what mistake he made, so to better fortify self against making the same type of error. So too, military history teaches the successes, so that one may emulate them. So too, the Bible deliberately illustrates many errors and successes, so that by means of studying both, the reader may be better enabled to repeat the success, and avoid the failure. So important lessons can be applied to self by seeing doctrinal & other errors in Christian history and in translations: you know, seeing the mote in another's eye to better remove the log in one's own!

All error of any kind in the spiritual life, be it in the doctrines one believes or in the do's, is not really due to sin, but due to Not Looking High Enough. At God, the Uppermost Truth. Analysis of Scripture routinely fails (and failure is the norm, not the exception), because we focus on lesser truths. This focus creates those "logs", because it chops Ὁ ΛΌΓΟΣ, the Word, narrowly. Biblical keywords are royally chopped up/off/down. For example, all too many scholars and students chop out the many uses and tiered-meanings of "salvation", "baptism", "faith" — narrowing these terms to but one meaning, each. Even "door", which obviously swings in and out, is narrowly construed to mean only to-Heaven "salvation".

So, when you come into salvation, You Enter a New Door. Out went the old, in comes the New: "The old things have passed away" (2 Corinthians 5:17, especially in context). So you are Dead to Death (theme of Romans 6-8). So you are now on the Rock, the Floor, the "Foundation" (1 Corinthians 3, "born from above" in John 3, Hebrews 6:8-10:17, etc). New 'doors of opportunity' await: for in His House, there are many mansions. Question is, where will you abide? (confer1 Corinthians 13:1-3, 1 John 1:6-10; really, all of 1 John is on this topic.) So, as verse groups like Hebrews 10:10-17 and Philippians 2:12-13 stress, "salvation" is multiphased, foundation +storeys atop it.

But if you listen to Christians, that fact's chopped out, too. What, does no one recognize in Philippians 2:12, Paul is talking about something on the inside (your spiritual life) working out, too? People misuse this verse like they misuse James 2: oh, brother, if you don't hustle, then you aren't saved, because faith without works is dead! Slobber slobber. So, ask the slobberer: how do you "work out" a salvation you don't first already have, Philippians 2:12? Can one workout a non-existent body? And just Who Empowers the working-out in v.13 (ties to Ephesians 2:10)? So, like Paul quips in Romans 7: who will deliver us from this body-of-dead, chopped thinking! Thanks be to God the Father, the Lord Jesus Christ! We can be 'saved', 'delivered', 'rescued' (all the same Greek verb, σῴζω) from our errors, hooray!

Thus whether Scholar or schoolkid, we all look too low, when we read His Thinking; thus we schism into our bazillion kooky faiths, Christian or no, all stressing a few to-people truths, competing. Persistence in learning His Word grows us out of this fractious, logging stage, which is part of spiritual childhood, as each New Testament writer explains (subtheme of each book). Of course, if we retard in that stage, as 99% of us historically do, we'll just have a lot of chopped wood for burning at the Bema (1 Corinthians 3, function depicted; Revelation 4, the actual future event, described in Greco-Roman drama tableau imagery, with Church as that "sea of glass", reflecting Christ). ["Bema" is a raised platform, like a stage; a governmental/military head sat upon it. Everyone else stood around. Then, the head would announce publicly who got awards or punishments due to some (usually military) endeavor in which those folks were all involved. The awards were shockingly enormous: people today would find these huge-wealth awards extremely offensive. (In theology, this Bible doctrine is called "crowns" after one of the Bible keywords designating it.) Punishments were enormous too: this fact is depicted in 1 Corinthians 3 as burning up your life's 'production', but not you. The "Thinking Out Loud" series has details.]

Therefore "TULIPS?" redoes and enhances the original TULIP to correct what's been wrong with it since 1610. I'm not a Calvinist, but that doesn't matter. Idea is to preserve what's good about an idea, and prune out what's bad. So: once corrected, the acronym serves as a handy mnemonic for both the structure of salvation, and our so-great spiritual life after salvation. The "Salvation Components", "Spiritual..", and the Lord vs. Satan complements "TULIPS?": those webpages elaborate on how salvation and the post-salvation life dynamically operate.

In nearly every one of my webpages, you'll see examples of failures in Biblical scholarship, teaching, etc. This, not to put down anyone, but to show provable patterns Satan uses to beguile us all. Items which you can check so to see the pattern. For, it's not about people making mistakes, but about how vulnerable we all are. Because we are all one in Christ. Teachers and translators are on the front lines of this, the most significant, spiritual war, so need as much prayer as they can get: prayer is voting for them to get the protection, the competence, the courage. These are our best and brightest, so if they prove to be so thoroughly outwitted by Satan & Co. Surely we don't stand a chance; surely they need our prayer, and we need to be breathing 1 John 1:9 and living in God's System as often as possible!

Scholar error samples thus are given in many of my sites, but some to read are: About Bible Mistranslation (which also walks you through some examples of Satan's involvement, so you can prove to yourself it's not mere human fallibility at work) and Why You Need A Pastor: Bible is Severely Mistranslated. Basically translations all cut God's Head out of the original text unless the word "God" is explicitly in the sentence, and otherwise fuzz up or truncate strategically-important doctrines on which your spiritual weal, depends. For example, verbs and nouns only used of God are thus given man's head in translation, instead. So many blasphemous errors, it's shocking to see them, so you'll have to do a lot of legwork here yourself. Don't lose faith in the translators and teachers: know instead that you have proof from these mistranslations that Satan & Co. Are messing with them. Hence it's critical to pray for everyone who has a job related to Bible. Test this claim, k? Find out how bad such centuries-long mistranslations have gone on, so you can see it cannot be of human origin. This isn't rocket science to prove, and it's clearly an objective, empirical proof. But you must test a lot of verses, not just a few. Hence misinterpretation of our vital spiritual food is easy — and devastating. Hence many mistranslation examples are given in each website, with the why-wrong data usually given in small font. In the "Testing" box on the Home page, some webpages are wholly dedicated to showing the corrected translation, since no extant translation looks remotely like what it says in the original language text.

So it's also important to 'lambast' the errors so that God's Word is not covered up, mangled, etc. There's a distinctive and predictable pattern of mistranslating certain types of phrases, words, etc. In English Bibles, and the student who reads in English should be aware of this. [Other-language translations often make the same kinds of mistakes: many of them look like they are translations from an English version rather than the original languages.] Because, these our more-battered comrades routinely become casualties in the spiritual life; they being more on display, given their roles, their falls are public, via mistranslation/misteaching. So: if your comrade falls in battle, wouldn't he want you to carry on? Does it really matter that he fell? Or does it matter more that the war be won, even if only to honor those who fell, whatever the reason? For the First Soldier, is Christ.

Here's a short list of the Bible mistranslation patterns. Every single error pattern has persisted for centuries, and in every Bible translation language I can read.

So also is every verse using Greek αἰών or καιρός, since these are time words to divide between one covenantal period and another. Some fool decided to translate "age" as "worlds" in Hebrews 1:2, and for centuries this isn't fixed, though everyone knows that "αἰών" means a fixed-time-period. So "dispensations" are Biblical, even if the way folks classify them, might not be. Sheesh: you can't imagine how puffed up people get between whether they are "covenantalists" or "dispensationalists". It's the same thing, for crying out loud: one references the group and its provisions, but the other merely references the time span. Sure, there are goofballs in both camps, but why throw out the Bible's handling of "the times", "ages"? Oh well.

Here's a far bigger reason to name errors: God is Ultimate Sovereign. So whatever He says is "official". God's Love is never sloppy, so God's Love does not mean we get sloppy; rather, it means we get serious. For God is first, Ruler. So, His Communication should be regarded as of utmost importance. Not to be treated sloppily. It's no coincidence that all the Bible greats spent a lot of time alone, studying. Jacob was "quiet" (Hebrew means quiet studying); Moses spent 40 years in the wilderness; all those "sons of the prophets" were apprenticing under the "man of God", dedicated. Christ spent 30 years training, and Himself had "μαθητής" ("disciples", but it means dedicated apprentices); Paul spent 14 years in Arabia. See? It's a pattern. If God is First, then you first learn Him. If you seem to have no time for such intense study, lemme tell ya — you'll get it if you want it. I sure did. Just ask Him, then go back to your life, waiting for Him to free you up. Find the time amidst what you have, waiting until you have more. You won't regret it!

Though the humor in Bible is unequaled, Bible is nonetheless quite serious about itself, and all those "I, the Lord" (mistranslated "I am the Lord") affidavits, help the reader to see how seriously he should study the words themselves. For, fundamentally, official communication is interpreted with all the precision of legal documents. Which means, every nuance in a sentence should be deliberate, and convey essential meaning. So you can't afford to gloss over the words. So you can't afford to translate without extreme care.

First, you translate the thought, not merely the words, of the speaker/writer, and not your own opinion about what you're translating. If you have a doubt about whether your opinion is involved in the translation, you must disclose it to the official for whom you are translating. Wars have been started, avoided, or ended due to mistranslation, so this is no small rule.

Secondly, only translate from one idiom, to another idiom. Literal translation is only sometimes helpful, when the etymology has a significant impact on meaning. Idiomatic translation makes all the difference between understanding in your language what someone communicates in 'his' language. It's bad enough that we of the same language have so much trouble understanding each other. Misunderstanding would obviously compound, if you don't follow the rule of idiom-to-idiom translation.

That means, an American expression like "good-bye" should be translated to the foreign language equivalent. So, the equivalent in another language might take 1000 words, but you do it anyway. If the word in one language is culture-dependent, and the culture of the language you are translating to has no equivalent cultural concept, you must note the cultural meaning in the language you are translating from. To not do this, again, leads to potentially fatal misunderstandings, particularly when translating between a Western language, and an Eastern or Middle Eastern one. For example, most non-English languages are way more officially effusive, and so are the cultures. So the terseness of English, which is often considered offensive to a non-English culture, must be adjusted, i.e., Sir, the English shortness of expression here is considered by their culture to be a sign of greater honor bestowed, so that is why this language is used.. Etc.

Bible follows this and all translation rules assiduously. For example, all the ancient cultures were polytheistic. What distinguished the Jews was Absolute God. The "gods", of course, were really demons, which is why, for example, one of the Hebrew words for "god" is a fertility goat-demon (i.e., Pan). So you can't understand and will misinterpret what God is saying if you don't have an Accurate Translation of the Hebrew or Greek polytheistic vocabulary He uses. Like when God uses the Hebrew word davaq, meaning "to have sex" (KJV "cleave") as a running command in the Old Testament: "cleave" to God, not gods. Very witty, very communicative, and whoever chops out that polytheistic/sexual meaning would be shot, were he a diplomatic translator to a king. Because, the first rule in diplomacy and translation is, Accurate Representation. To violate that rule, is treason. [Good treatise on this topic is Sir Harold Nicolson's Diplomacy. It's a slim volume, maybe available from Amazon.] Since we are all "Ambassadors for Christ", charged with translating the message of Christ to encourage each other and to a lost and dying world, we have a very scary post to learn to fulfill. Treason cannot be tolerated, yet we are all treasonous, by nature!

Thirdly, context context context. Just like Daniel Wallace says in the introduction to his seminary textbook, Greek Grammar Beyond the Basics, context is everything. So too, diplomatic/secular translation. You always follow the flow of the language you are translating from. This is an aerial, 'big-picture' translation rule, and it's critical. "Flow" includes not only tone, speed, and other attitudinal communicators, but also organization, how the material is structured for communication. Diplomacy, like the Bible itself, is a legal science, because it involves official communication between sovereigns (i.e., one country to another). So, precision is carefully crafted from every nuance in a language, and the organization of the material tells you very important 'stuff' about what the communication is intended to mean. Topics repeated or covered at length tend to be more important than others (though in Communist Russian, the reverse was true); topics coyly linked or brutally linked help the recipient of the translation gauge how much 'wiggle room' there is for discussion, particularly in sensitive areas.

Bible is the most amazing, among all written communication of this type. For example, when a topic is foundational, 99% of the way that fact is expressed, is by use of the language's foundational elements, like case endings, double-entendres, syntactical nuances. Salvation, for example, is the foundation for our having life with God. A good 90% of more of God's Word on this topic uses tenses to convey this fact; tenses which, like the "aorist" have no good modern-language equivalent except (somewhat) in Russian. There are also prepositions, which likewise have a bazillion meanings, and usually God means us to understand that all these meanings are simultaneously true, organized in a hierarchy: a multi-story building, atop salvation. Paul, for example, plays with the Old Testament etymological origin of the word "ἐπίγνωσις" (ἐπί, upon, + γνῶσις, knowledge, pregnant noun) to convey that spiritual life is learning Christ. On top of salvation.

Similarly, when God communicates His Co-Equality, foundational characteristics of the language are used. One of the more common (and apparently more confusing) ways to designate co-Equality is to use just a pronoun, "He". We capitalize the (Ineffable Name!) pronoun, but the original languages did not. You always knew from context that God was the Subject/Object, etc. See? So many deft uses of the Word simultaneously communicate what is meant, and — best of all — God is speaking. For no human is anywhere near this smart in the use of language. In short, to know the King of King's diplomatic communication, study like crazy. Or, commit treason.

So, when you translate, again you look for equivalents in the language you are translating to. You pay very close attention to any mismatches due to cultural differences, etc., and try to adjust for them, or annotate the translation to help the recipient of the translation better understand what's meant, and you package the whole to best fit the overall meaning of the intended communication. So, for example, if God chooses to use Greek-phallic-cult words to make analogous wordplay on what real intercourse with real God is about, you must translate that phallic-cult meaning. It's not interpretation, to do this, but translation; after all, they aren't your words which you are translating. It is an egregious interpretation to hide such meanings from the recipient, if the communicator deliberately used them. Wow: so many wars came from this horrible practice, interpreters sticking in their own two cents!

Sadly, Biblical translation practices have always been a travesty in varying degrees, almost never taking even the above cardinal rules into account: even though those rules, as well as the other major rules, are taught in seminary. The inspired languages of Scripture are shallowly taught, and the abysmal graduation requirement to know these languages is generally less than two years — can you imagine only knowing two years of English? It's as if nobody cares. Frankly, a seminary official will tell you there aren't enough students interested in longer and deeper courses, so the seminary can't afford to make a more stringent requirement (this problem began in the late 1930's, in the US).

These egregious impotencies add up to translation screwups like you can't believe.. For centuries. Thus again you know the scholars (etc.) are not to be blamed: but rather, you have a heads-up on how fixated Satan & Co. Are about covering up Our Divine Writ. By far the largest class of mistranslation errors is one which would cause the execution of any diplomatic translator. Look: say the original language Bible verse read, "The Maserati convertible sped down the Autobahn." Now watch the Bible-typical translation: "the vehicle travelled down the path." Yikes! Speed is reduced to slowness, color and flash is washed out, you don't know what kind of transport or what "path" is meant. What if you had to depend on the translation, for your salvation? For your spiritual life! Yet every Bible I can read in BibleWorks (software program of all major Bibles in original-text or translation, plus lexicons and other study aids) — every one, makes this kind of egregious translation error routinely, and in strategic verses!

Kinda like translating "Ella tomó el café" as if she carried off coffee, or a whole restaurant! For example, "ὑπέρ" in Greek means "as a substitute for", and you can't translate it simply "for", without mangling the meaning. So, when you read verses about how Christ died "for" you — what, did He do it as a favor? Don't you have to thus do something in return? But look: Christ died as A substitute for you — well, how can you do anything in return, if you had to have a substitute? See the difference a little preposition, makes? (See 2 Corinthians 5:21.)

Popular Biblical Greek seminary texts like Biblical Greek by Mounce, and Greek Grammar Beyond the Basics by Wallace stress facts like this one about "ὑπέρ". Yet no English translation of the Bible follows even that rule. And, not to start a riot, but: English verses rendered "in" or "from" +"the womb" all mean, in the Hebrew or Greek, "from outside" +"the womb"; which fact is also taught in seminary.

The rules about "ὑπέρ" (etc.), are but a few of literally thousands in the ancient Greek languages. Another impotency is of similar vein: mistranslating the preposition, "εἰς" always as "to" or "unto" or "toward", when its root idea is cause-effect, so often means "with reference to", or "because". So, among other goofy beliefs caused by inaccurate translation, millions of people think that you gotta say out loud you believe in Christ to be saved, 🤣. (Romans 10:10 should end, "because of/due to salvation", not "unto salvation". See how the latter makes one inaccurately conclude you have to say you believe out loud? Despite the logic that God wouldn't need you to speak out loud, to hear you? Or, worse: that you have to admit it to people, for GOD? See how that latter interpretation puts people on par with God? Yikes!)

So try this experiment: look at John 3:16's "whoever believes in Him". Greek for "in" is really, ΕἸΣ. If you look at similar Bible verses, you'll find the usual preposition is "ἐπί" (root meaning of upon, on top of, so the object of the preposition is the foundation).

John 3:16 οὕτως γὰρ ἠγάπησεν ὁ θεὸς τὸν κόσμον, ὥστε τὸν υἱὸν τὸν μονογενῆ ἔδωκεν, ἵνα πᾶς ὁ πιστεύων εἰς αὐτὸν μὴ ἀπόληται ἀλλ᾽ ἔχῃ ζωὴν αἰώνιον.

So you can understand that a translation of believing in Him is apt, but it's unusual to use "εἰς" in John 3:16. So God is telling us more than the usual meaning. So, because John nests cause-and-result relationships in almost every word in that verse, and because John writes "εἰς" here rather than the normal "ἐπί", our phrase is perhaps more aptly rendered, "everyone believing because of HIM" will never perish (not 'may not', 🤣, it's a "hina" final purpose clause so takes the subjunctive), etc. See how much clearer it is to see that salvation's permanence, is stressed? For it is stressed, in the Greek syntax: God's purpose of Giving His Son will have its intended (hina!) result. [Actually, "whoever believes" is a fine translation. Participle in Greek can be translated as a finite verb. More importantly, the participle is coterminous or precedes the action of the main verb. Here, the "never perish" is the main verb, climactically placed. In Greek usually the most important thing is at the end of a sentence. Similar rule is in Russian.]

More: Bible was written in maybe 5 types of Greek, not just one, and Attic (classical, drama) Greek is very commonly used in the New Testament to stress importance, or draw cultural analogies to efficiently explain Divine truths: however, people generally translate as if only koine Greek (Alexander's) was used. To not recognize which kind of Greek is being used results in so many confusing translations and misinterpretations, it would take a book to list them all. What's weirder, is that often the lexicons and commentaries recognize a verse is 'problematic', but never ask the first-year seminary question they were taught: which kind of Greek is it? Toward the beginning of his book, Dr. Wallace notes that there's the trend away from recognizing different kinds of Greek, and (if I remember correctly), footnotes that comment with a Dr. Robertson (or other scholar) who vehemently disagrees with that trend. 'Robertson' is right. Provably.

For, in Ephesians 1:7, you have an Attic double-accusative, which means that the first accusative (ἀπολύτρωσιν, usually translation'd "redemption") results in the availability of forgiveness (ἀφῆσιν) of sins, because the second accusative is a resulting judicial structure. So, ties to the mechanic for forgiveness, 1 John 1:9 (naming sins to God). So if you interpreted Ephesians 1:7 as mere koine, you'd think the doubled accusatives were appositional, so would mistakenly believe that all your sins are forgiven on The Cross, so you'd never use 1 John 1:9; so you'd be spiritually comatose and spanked the rest of your life! [Spanked for not using 1 John 1:9, because no Filling of Spirit. Note the verses before and just after v.9. So if God isn't 'abiding' in you (vv8 or 10), you aren't filled with the Spirit, since He is also God. See also KJV of Galatians 5:16. "ἀδικία", in v.9 and elsewhere in Bible, means a state of wrongdoing exists. In the Old Testament they had to purify the Temple. Same verb is used in 1 John 1:9, καθαρίζω. Can the Bible make it plainer? LordvSatan3.htm's "Fourth Reason for Invisibility:" section, explains much more about what constitutes "ἀδικία".]

Worse, what's 1 John 1:9 doing there? Does the Bible contradict itself, 🤣? Never mind, that common sense would look at 1 John 1:9, Psalms 32:5, Psalms 66:18 and conclude you should name your sins to God. Never mind, that another thing you are stridently taught in seminary (really, since Moses), is never make a doctrine out of one verse. Always check Scripture against Scripture. Seriously, this false interpretation of the greek of Ephesians 1:7 is very common in Christendom, now. So who knows how many Christians are running around, spiritually comatose, but thinking they are living the spiritual life! [John 3:16 and Colossians 1:14 also use double accusatives. There are also, of course, other verses which employ this Dramatic (Attic) Greek construction.]

In sum, the errors always 'manage' to spin Bible as ascetically works-oriented, reversing the meanings in Hebrew/Greek); worst of all, the errors 'manage' to maim the believer's understanding. So, the believer cannot grow up spiritually, since he doesn't even know what he's reading is wrong. This was a huge shock for me to discover; until I got that computer for writing these webpages, I honestly didn't know how pervasive and evil are the mistranslations; once I found them, I kept shaking my head in disbelief (shocking truth motivates disbelief). So, until you see how vastly gross are these errors, you won't believe, either. Abominable: a diplomatic translator who was that incompetent would be fired or executed, but.. Oh! It's suddenly okay to violate translation rules, with respect to the Word of the Greatest Sovereign in the Universe? Yikes!

Now, to the flipside: It's impossible to get a verse's translation wholly right. This is God's Word, So God's Infinitely-Layered Genius is in every jot and tittle. There are a bazillion meaning-layers, even in those "begats"!

John 3:16 is probably the most-known verse in the New Testament, but its Greek structure is so unusual. You have three kinds of Greek, doublings all over the place (because the text is about the Hypostatic Union), cause-and-effect nestings. Nearly every word in that sentence is unusually-used, for Greek. Even the length (to demonstrate unbroken causality) is unusual. (A Biblical rhetorical pattern of legal connection is to use long sentences. Ephesians 1:1-18 is another example, all one sentence. But translations break it up, so you miss the legal significance.) A lawyer who can read Greek would understand that an unbroken sentence stresses causal relationships. But how the heck do you convey the many unusual features of John 3:16 in English? You can't. Best you can do, is spend hours teaching the exegesis, like my pastor does (others do also, though few).

So, although much needs to be done to retranslate the Bible; although the translation rules followed are abominable, and should be changed to at least the same rules as used for secular translations — or, for God's sake, obey the rules taught in seminary; the best a translator can do, is to take the words themselves, namely, the sexual ones, and translate them idiomatically. So probably, a retranslation should footnote Greek cultural meanings, too, since the Bible pointedly uses specialized-Greek-culture words. The resultant re-translated meaning 'changes' so much, a reader will get curious and thus search Bible in the original languages. So then he begins to learn the many other layers of God's Treasure for Earthen Vessels just waiting for him, like wrapped Diamonds. True True True Riches Riches Riches! What's said here about the Greek can be equally said about the Hebrew. Stress on Greek matters given the New Testament, which often uses the Septuagint (Greek translation of the Hebrew Old Testament which the Lord and the New Testament writers used).

Thus you also know you can't blame translators or teachers for your own beliefs, since you have access to the Bible in the original language, God-breathed texts. So woe to you, if you do not learn them. Bible was not available worldwide in the original language texts largely because Satan managed to 'kidnap' those texts beneath the skirts of Christian religions (Catholicism being but one of the kidnappers). So even though everyone post-Cross and pre-Rapture is in training to become a King (potentially, since anyone can become a believer), most folks had no access to Divine Writ. At most they got snippets of Gospel or Psalter in translation. Yet some of them did a lot with that little; those who were interested in God could always become monks or something, to get access to the text. And, many did; they quietly learned, they didn't buck the system, they just wanted God.

But now, anyone can get Him, and it's easier than ever, to learn those texts. Sure, the texts are in dead languages (Hebrew and Greek today are very different from those texts). Sure, these are languages we don't speak. But it's God's Brains teaching us, John 4:24 ("by agency of the Spirit and by means of Truth" should be the translation). So if we refuse, we who are so much potentially richer than our forebears... what must be the punishment due?

You are a king-in-training, and have to take responsibility for your own decisions, before the Lord. So there's a time and a way to be harsh on self or others, makes no difference: Kings Must Rule. Of course, once you are freed-up enough by Doctrine to do that, you can afford to also be more compassionate about yourself: and thus, more compassionate toward others. Love begins with Him: "We Love, because He first loved us", says John.

We believers, however 'small' we are in societal terms, each have an awesome and shocking Royal Authority now due to the Session. We should take it far more seriously than we do. Since we too have this authority which we ourselves misuse constantly, it is of course insanity to blame other authorities, because they, being human and bugged by Satan & Co. Even more than we — because they too, make mistakes. Even, for centuries. Let's merely recognize the errors, the pattern: for, our war is not against people, but instead a defensive war against bad thinking (see Ephesians 6, 2 Corinthians 10:4-5, Romans 12:2-3). (Lord vs. Satan Part 4 covers why we have such a shocking role, but it makes little sense until you're familiar with both concepts and 'flow' in Part 3)

Third 'bias', Cup Stem: use Bible's original language texts.
That exercise has the salutary effect of
Blunting one's bias:
For then one's focus changes
To deciphering what the God-breathed text, actually says.

Furthermore, God the Holy Spirit chose those languages, and He did not choose to make one Bible per language. So those languages must be important to learn. In fact, for this reason my pastor teaches the Bible in its original languages to the whole congregation. Only the Holy Spirit can take spiritual information, put it in your human spirit, and then "move" it along into (and around in) your soul; so, human IQ is totally irrelevant. So, anyone can learn Scripture from the original languages, even if brain-damaged: we had two brain-damaged people in our congregation, that didn't hinder the Holy Spirit's Power to make them comprehend! This, too, is part of the kitting-out of your Unique-for-all-time Priesthood: a spiritual gift you permanently have. His Power makes up for any deficiencies. Just be willing to learn. You must use 1 John 1:9 to be "filled with the Spirit", however. (1 John 1:8-10, Ephesians 5:18, and some "in..Spirit" verses.) Moreover, even though HS makes up for any IQ deficiencies, and in fact over time one does become smarter even in secular areas due to Filling, it's not magic. Learning takes time. So let's look at why He didn't choose to 'inspire' translations, but rather the original language texts. For it was the people He 'hired' to write those texts, who He inspired. So through those same texts, He'll inspire and grow, us. So we too, can get inspired understanding from what are now dead languages, with 1 John 1:9 breathed, under our own right pastors:

'Often, offensively: even, to me. Paradoxically, an insult is more honest, so blunts the hearer's offense and instead encourages: it's political-correctness which is truly demeaning, i.e., to the intelligence of the hearer. In America, some unknown censor deemed the term "used car" not-nice, but come on: "pre-owned car" is not more offensive, pretending to hide the fact that it's used? What, did God make us humans so weak, so insecure, so unaware of life's foibles that we can't 'call a spade a spade'? God doesn't 'believe' in "Time Out" or circumlocution!

Weaving, thesaural writing styles are used in the best literature, too: James Joyce' Ulysses, Shakespeare's plays, classical Greek Drama, all weave their plots. Bible is the best at this: an idea is mentioned, then synonymal/antonymal corollaries, topics are introduced; then, the first idea is woven through all those other topics, so you see how they all connect. Every Bible book uses some version of this type of weaving to communicate. It's a style which many folks find hard to follow, because what they want is a linear, paint-by-numbers recap. Sorry, but Infinite Truth isn't like that; life (e.g., biology) isn't like that; so the Bible isn't like that. Infinite truth is more like fractals, functionally.

So, if you have trouble with the weaving style (and we all do), try converting the material into a linear form. Block off concepts in chunks, then compare how the same concept is referenced/explained in some other passage. Use Bible's keywords to do this blocking off and comparison, or you'll get lost. Bible writers use keywords to 'divide' the text (covered in more detail below): for example, trace how Bible uses the words "baptise", "baptism" and their conceptual roots/siblings, like "unite", "one", marriage. Best translations to use for this are NAS and KJV, because both of those translations tend to take the same Greek or Hebrew word, and translate them with the same English word. Better still, just use the search engine in your original language Bible software, searching on all the morphologies of the keyword in question.

Alternative to the linear method, you could convert the material into math-like formulas, i.e., taking parts of verses in different places and adding, etc. Them together. You'll profit much by either exercise, because then you can spot these structures more easily in Scripture itself. The math-formula method is very common: every Scripture writer uses interpretative quoting and concatenation. An easy example of the former, is Peter's use of Joel 2:28-32 in Acts 2 — note what text Peter changes on purpose. Same, for Hebrews 8:8-12 and Hebrews 10:15-17, which use Jeremiah 31:31-34. These passages also illustrate another spiritual math function, bookending. Concatenation is adding parts of verses together, either via folding in other writers' verses, or in making new text: cool example verse-set is 1 John 1:6-10. Note the three clause setup in each verse; note how a sort of tic-tac-toe is constructed, which tells you a lot about how the variables in each clause integrate vertically.

Greek rhetoric is always couched in personal terms, addressed to an individual, a "you". That's because the Greeks were very into hands-on translation of principles, into real living. The fundamental belief underlying Greek culture was the idea that the "gods" were enacting a conflict among themselves, and that what they did, transferred to the human race; further, that the larger purpose was to have communion with those "gods" in a virtuous manner. Virtue to the Greeks was two-sided, a "ὑπόστασις", therefore: however small a thing you were doing on earth, had epic meaning (usually, honor). This idea had its lascivious side, hence all the phallicism (i.e., Dionysus (Bacchic, in Rome), and Cybele (a reverse-lasciviousness, involving castration)).

The larger meaning of communion and connection therefore permeates all Greek words and all Greek word usage. And frankly (what a surprise this was to discover), the Greek ideas are all derivative from the initial God-breathed concepts, which the Hebrew language more accurately represents. So by the time you get to the New Testament, the genius of using Greek language and style to convey what always was the Hebrew God... is stupendous. Only God is this smart. There are many ways to see proof of God, if you are willing to take the shock (most are not yet willing, and it takes time to get willing)... but seeing His Genius in the very words of Scripture, is more than 100% conclusive. Takes your breath away, every time you study the Word. No lascivious, no ascetic pleasure in life is even a pinprick's joy, by comparison.

And why would God do that? Heh: because the Jews rejected Messiah, and because they were to be the vehicle for transmitting the Word to the goyim (non-Jews), God uses a goyim language to do the job His Chosen People rejected (forever chosen, still)! If you ever see a picture of the Dome of the Rock, or visit it, you have there a mute testimony to God's Faithfulness to Israel: Daniel 9:26, Matthew 24, and (unpredictably-future), Revelation 11:1. God orchestrates everything around the Jews and His Son is foremost among them. That they have abrogated the covenant so that Christ had to put Vashti aside and go find Gentile Esthers, is beside the point. So how else to better communicate His Faithfulness to His erstwhile faithless Betrothed (and also offer her renewed betrothal, if she believes in Christ) — than by switching languages for Holy Writ? See? God misses nothing. Blatantly and softly He always demonstrates His Love: Romans 5:8, John 3:16. Let us not spurn Him, then?

So the personalness of address in rhetorical style, is reflected in these webpages, with the audience being a "you", rather than (the more ascetic, 'Western') "it-ness" style of writing in modern cultures. Bible uses both, but the stress in Bible is the Personalness. You won't be able to see that fact in translation, because the job of Bible translation tends to attract the ascetic.

Thus one can separate the sheep from the goats, and avoid Satan's landmines. Sure, it's a painstaking task to learn all this: the Holy Spirit is not hampered. Should we let our laziness or fear or intimidation over learning prevent us from the glory of seeing Him, even while in this body? You decide.

Fourth 'bias', the Plate: consume all the Word, not just the parts you like. One should "eat" the Word, as Jeremiah puts it.
As the Lord states in Matthew 4:4, John Chapters 6:63-68: turn/think over, rephrase learning under one's pastor, via the Holy Spirit.
For if you believe, then you 'chew' on it, and derive nourishment.

Wow, this spiritual starvation of not chewing on Word has got to be the biggest failure category throughout Christendom. We parrot the Word, rather than ruminate on it. We rah-rah God's Name, rather than learn How He Thinks. That means we hate God, but con ourselves that we love Him. We treat going to church or Bible class like a good luck charm or the laundry, a chore you get done and whew! You don't have to do it again for a few days or even a week, hooray! So we don't turn over or analyze what we are being taught. You realize that if you are disinterested in someone you don't love that person, right? So we are rabidly disinterested in God. I bet you eat every day. So why not be that hungry for the Word, too? Ooops.

We also evidence disinterest and prove we know nothing if we parrot; we flat don't know a thing, unless we take the 'due diligence' step of confirming it independently, kinda like in high school you not only learn the textbook, you have 'labs'. It shows respect for your pastor that you would bother to learn what's behind what he teaches, so you can better understand. It shows respect for those who differ from his teachings that you would bother to examine alternatives so that you understand why a) your pastor arrives at the conclusion he does, and b) the alternatives are what they are. More on this topic is in Scripture Debates, Bumpkinism, and what to do about it. Even way more on this topic is in each of the "Caveats". How Satan uses parroting to lock us all in spiritual childhood, is covered in Satan's Tactical Offensive Plan: Operation MEGA. Pitfalls like parroting are summarized in a bullet list in "Tips for Making Dung out of Your Daily Spiritual Life". Once you see these materials, you can easily test them in life, to see how vast an army is arrayed against us. And how vastly we love hating God. It's a shock, but if you don't see how vast is this problem of spiritual arrest, you too will get sucked into it. We all do, because we all start out as kids.

Furthermore, one doesn't know a thing until one can use it well, but one can't use it well, absent sufficient practice! Then, live on it. Kinda like school. One has 'homework'. One tries to understand what is taught. Then, one needs to practice it, and take 'tests', like essay exams, to see if the material is sufficiently 'eaten', and nourishing the soul. Bible is Christ's God-Man Thinking (Old Testament "Word of the Lord" verses, plus 1 Corinthians 2:15-16, Hebrews 4:12). So, it's like a language.

Father's Goal is for us to learn to become fluent in His Son's Thinking, Ephesians 4:13, one of the most awesome verses in Scripture, and even usually well translated! As with everything in God's Plan, this is impossible! Never say "impossible" around God, heh: He lifted the CornerStone which was too heavy for even God to lift, and He lifted that Rock to the Cross! So, we "Little Stones" (= "Πέτρος", a term Peter plays with in his letters by using other chip-of-the-rock-words) can get this fluency: via the Holy Spirit, even as the Humanity of Christ got this same Impossible Growth!

Fluency only comes with spiritual comprehension... and lots of spiritual practice. After all, the Bible is written "for instruction in Righteousness", which above all is a spiritual thought pattern to rule the body, as 2 Timothy 2:15, and 2 Timothy 3:16-17 explain. Only in this manner is the First Commandment obeyed, for the Son demands that the Father be propitiated, as it were, by our constantly thinking like the Son. We aren't making bricks without straw: this is a real, abiding, and wholly-possible "impossible" command, as 1 John explains in detail. Those who ignore this significance do so at their peril. And we all ignore it, from time to time. Thank God for 1 John 1:9!

Practice depends upon a coalesced understanding, and that understanding, depends on turning over the information. However you need to 'do' that, is a personal matter. Christian Chat channels like #scripture, when folks in them at the time aren't too silly or argumentative, offer an opportunity to practice and test one's understanding. For me, practice requires public speaking or writing, which always disengages my ego (the 'me' goes offstage and the 'character' goes onstage); so my focus is immeasurably aided. Chat can be like that, too. But it's scary, for God is listening: what if I misstate something about God? So my own due diligence is best monitored by writing webpages anonymously but publicly, and (rarely) chatting. Maybe that works for you as well; maybe it doesn't. Whatever makes you most objective in analysis, that you should do. We are Kings in training. We are public persons, but hidden in the world. Doesn't mean you should run around witnessing (often that's a bad decision, serving only Satan). Does mean you should think as if everyone heard your thoughts: because, God does.

So, as always, test what you read. The Holy Spirit is Supreme Teaching Authority; He's appointed a right pastor for you; anything outside what your pastor teaches is but adjunctive 'play'. God is the God of Authority, so whomever He appointed for you as your right pastor is your authority. Commonly, what seems to contradict either Bible or what a pastor teaches, is instead an additional layer of meaning; or, the opposite end of a spectrum of meaning. Of course, sometimes there is a contradiction, which always and only means the Bible is misinterpreted or wrongly taught. Use 1 John 1:9 to be online, then ask Father in Son's Name to grant that the Holy Spirit clarify any seeming-contradiction. Having put that matter to rest via prayer, you can safely continue examining the question. Bear in mind also that pastors must teach whole groups of people, so they often gear what they teach to a lowest-common-denominator-level. Instead, do extra deeper study on your own, besides. Romans 15:4.

Practice is most helpful, when you practice thinking like the Bible. So, how can you test what's written here or anywhere, in 'my' brain or yours? Fortunately, all truth is to be tested the same way: the Holy Spirit teaches everyone when 1 John 1:9 is used, because its use keeps one "online" with Him. That is how I learned what I'm writing, to better explore what I've learned, under my right pastor-teacher. So, that is how He'll enable you to benefit from any material here. Assuming, of course, that you should be reading material on this site at all. That you should or should not do so, is a private, privileged matter between the Holy Spirit, and you. May He cause you much profit, always! Philippians 1:21!


HaShem and other Alerts for Jewish readers

Above are URLs which may have particular relevance to Jewish readers. Like the Mishnah, where you are always in the middle of a conversation, these webpages are streaming: to get the full context you'd have to begin at the beginning, which is Part 1 of the Lord vs. Satan. My goal was to account for how the Old Testament is fulfilled in the New, among other things, because I have always been pro-Jewish. The Real Lord is indeed the Lord of the Jews, and the "Timeline for Shub" URL above (which takes months of vetting, in the Old Testament) would, in my opinion, conclusively prove that. Sheer Divine Genius of Time Accounting, Sheer Divine Writ. But so is the New Testament provably Divine — which of course, many Jews dispute. But salvation comes from the Jews, John 4:22. The Savior is Jewish. That, too is disputed, but in any event — no other people's Lord is the Lord. And He is the Lord of all mankind, no doubt about it, Genesis 2:7 proves that. Frankly, you can prove that the Lord is right now 'playing' a historical combination of Daniel 9:26 and the entire Book of Esther, plus the New Testament, all at the same time — in real time. Takes awhile to vet that claim, too ('Church is now Esther' and 'Timeline for Shub' took me about four years to write and vet). In short, no other definition of the Lord but the Bible's, proves true. A two-paragraph summary of why He plays both Daniel 9 and Book of Esther together with the Gospels is in the Lord vs. Satan Part 4a.

Hence these webpages are not here to sell anything, but rather mere due-diligence disclosure: everything is designed to be tested, since (as Elihu told Job) "the ear tests truth". One should never be shy of saying what's true, yet at the same time should furnish the reader with enough information so a reader can vet what's said. So that's what's done in the website. If it matters, I don't know if I am Jewish by bloodline: I am adopted. More importantly, my pastor taught us Bible in from both the original Hebrew and Greek language-texts; so material in the website is not based on translations; as a result, often translations commonly known, must be corrected; this problem makes the website generally long and complex. As you probably know, the LXX, AKA "Septuagint" was done by Alexandrian Jews, and most of the New Testament is written by Jews, i.e., "Χριστός" (and Χρῖσμα, and κύριος), used as the Greek term in translation(s) of מָשִׁיחַ (Mashiach), in Daniel 9:25-26. So again, 'Christian' is really Jewish... now in the Common Era, which in the New Testament is called "the times of the Gentiles", fulfilling that very large group of Old Testament prophecies. Galatians 3, Romans 4 and Romans 9-12 explain that race is not an issue, post-Cross. But then, it never was an issue, since two thirds of the Exodus population, were goyim. To be a son of Abraham, you must do what Abram did, Genesis 15:6. Circumcised hearts, not merely flesh.

No Christian therefore should ever be antisemitic. Satan uses Christians and Muslims to help foster his goal of wiping out the Jews, for he thinks if he can do that, he can prove Adonai is unable to keep His Promises, and thus Satan wins. Guess again: The Lord will always keep His promises to His promised people. Anyone who imagines otherwise is just asking for severe punishment. So obviously 'my' webpages are pro-Jewish. Rabidly so. Christ is Jewish. Some Christians seem to forget that (don't know how, it's patent throughout the Bible).

Satan also uses differences in Jewry to promote Jews to turn against each other. So there are many sects in Judaism, but only a few get all the attention. The others usually are targeted by the main sects for ridicule, etc. Holding "gets" when a Jew believes in Christ, refusing to have anything to do with them, etc. Thus Satan divides and conquers.

Satan also gathers to conquer. Daniel 9:26 warns that when the Temple is destroyed, run away from Jerusalem. Well, we didn't listen, did we*. So now Israel is a gathered target for her enemies. The Lord will defend her anyway, even as He always has... but everyone should be on their guard to avoid salivating if Satan ever manages to motivate someone to rebuild the Temple: see Daniel 9:27, Matthew 24, Revelation 11:1, Ezekiel 38-48. Also Isaiah 53-61. Only the Lord will regather Israel, and only when He comes back, as per the many prophecies.

* snippet from Caveat #5 So here's my error: I haven't noted a) how globally vast was this satanic orchestration within the 1880-1950 voting window (the 490 ended in 1990); and b) my webpages give my erroneous impression that Jews just plain wanted to go there — not true. More often, Jews were forced to go there as the only alternative to the horrific pogroms they were experiencing in exile. This satanic forcing is worldwide from the late 1800's, and it's easy to see historically: but I haven't adequately reflected the forcing nature of it upon the Jews. So Jews were still listening to Ezekiel and Jeremiah, trying to stay away from Jerusalem, though ardently wanting to return. So long as the Land was not a government of its own, they would heed the warning, and stay away. But circumstances forced them to need a place to go, and we who loved them, wanted to find a political entity which they could control, so they could be safe. So we thought. Satan outmaneuvered us all. So: that forcing-ness needs to be reflected in my webpages, but right now is missing.

The purpose of this website is to alert Jewish readers to the fact that "G-d" is not used in any of my writings; rather, I use the full English term. If you are offended by this fact, you should not read what is written here. I don't use that convention because, etymologically, HaShem did not become, in English, "G-d". Rather, the English term comes, not from the Sacred Tetragrammaton, but from "Elohim" (well, via Greek and Latin and German), so it is not wrong to use the full English word. So, you will find the full English spelling here.

Frankly, a lot of Christians I know have trouble saying Our Lord's first personal name in exactly the same manner as you would have trouble reading or pronouncing "G-d", and for exactly the same reasons: awe. The New Testament writers often seem to avoid saying His First Name by just using the pronoun "He" or "Him"; which, to the non-Jewish reader, makes the text seem confusing. I myself must force myself to say His first name. In fact, among the classes of explanation errors in my website is the inexcusable tendency to use "Lord" when describing some aspect attributable to His Humanity (so the proper name to use is His First Name, but I don't do it); or I'll resort to the convoluted construction, "Lord's Humanity" — all this, to avoid typing His First Name. It's a very hard habit to break. As time passes, I will fix these errors, for errors never honor Him.

It is not a good deed to avoid saying (what to me is) His HaShem. Nor is there any 'law' saying I cannot do so; moreover, Christianity has no tradition nor other convention prohibiting it; in fact, first name usage is one of Christianity's hallmark characteristics, as the New Testament writings all prove — which confuses people no end (which Mary, etc). But I personally have a lot of trouble writing or saying anything but "Lord", even when talking about His Humanity. Mostly, I try to just say "Him" when referring (by your convention) to "G-d". So, since I'm trinitarian, you might get confused about which "Him" I'm talking about. Since the New Testament writers as well as the Old Testament writers did the same thing, figure I mean Who they meant, i.e., by the context.

That's all for now. I can't think of anything else in here you might find offensive; except, of course, that Yeshuah Hamashiach is God-Man. Frankly, that issue's a private question between "G-d" and you: whether it would be blasphemous — or, the fulfillment of the Mercy Seat's Promise — to add Humanity to Himself and via that Humanity become the long-promised Redeemer.

For, if it was not blasphemous for Him to make creation separate from Himself, and that creation sins; and He still promises to redeem them; how is it suddenly blasphemous for Him to add never-sinning Humanity to Himself, and fulfill Job's expectations (e.g., in Job 9)? If it was not blasphemous for Abram be accredited for Righteousness by merely believing in Him (Genesis 15:6); not blasphemous either, to see Him face-to-face (as an Angel); if it was not blasphemous for Abraham to be circumcised as a b'rith from Him; if it was not blasphemous for Moses to twice plead that He not destroy Israel; how is it blasphemous if He decides to become the Seed of Abraham, and thus fulfill the b'rith also as Human, thus forever enshrining His Chosen People in a Body He Himself will also always have? See Isaiah 7, Deuteronomy 31:6, Joshua 1:5, Isaiah 43:25, Psalms 103:12, Psalms 40; in New Testament, Hebrews (whole book). If you can read Greek, read Hebrews and the Gospel of John in Greek, for they use the exact same terminology for the tabernacle, the Law, and characteristics of HaShem as does the LXX. You decide.

Meanwhile, I apologize heartily for any offense you find... please understand what I write isn't intended to offend.


Recommended Reading List of Bible Material

Bible research materials I'd recommend are: BibleWorks, a software collection of Bibles in both the inspired original languages, and in almost every translation. BibleWorks also provides a huge collection of study materials and lexicons of (maybe) above-average quality.*

* BibleWorks is no longer commercially sold. Consult Logos or Accordance, instead.

You can get (big) Kittle at Accordance, Amazon, or any retailer. These are pastor-level materials, so expect to spend a lot of downtime, learning the lingo. Both BibleWorks and Kittle run about $300 each. Upgrades are probably cheaper (Kittle is almost a century old, so I don't know if it gets upgraded). Cynical Nerd Note: BibleWorks people don't even know who I am, so obviously I'm not trying to 'sell' them; Dr. Kittle is a standard, revered collection, and he's been dead for decades, so I'm not trying to 'sell' him, either.

At least get a Scofield Study Bible in the Version of your choice (1500 types to choose from, at Amazon), because you need the cross referencing of the verses. You can probably get one on CD (which allows faster searches).

Get your favorite Bible version on audio or CD, and then listen to it regularly. Holy Spirit uses auditory function, and John 14:26 is His 'speaking' method — recalling to your mind Bible stuff. Just keep on breathing 1 John 1:9 as you do it. Frankly, it's much more enjoyable than the TV, or all those wimpy songs. But... you decide.

Pennington's CD of Biblical Greek is a way to get a handle on pronunciation, if your pastor doesn't teach from the original languages; I got the first version of the CD a few years back; it is badly organized, not alphabetical, and the definitions are too shallow. But its purpose wasn't comprehensive, but rather to train the hearer to recognize the Greek words, and in that sense, it succeeds well: the pronunciation is good (just like my pastor always taught us in Bible class over his decades of teaching). Also, books/CDs by Mounce, Wallace, Gesenius (Greek and Hebrew grammars) — but if you're buying BibleWorks, all that is bundled with the software, in the current version. I can't yet recommend any other Hebrew stuff except Thorlief Boman's Hebrew Thought compared with Greek, which I bought for only $12 at Amazon. It's real dense material, but really helpful, and is regarded as a theological classic. And it's only about 100 pages long! I love that guy's enthusiasm for Scripture.

Authors' historical tomes to get (or borrow from your local library) are Mommsen, Gibbon, Cary on Rome; Josephus, available in book or CD (but it comes in the latest version of BibleWorks, bundled); Suetonius and Tacitus; Encyclopedia of Military History by Dupuy and Dupuy. Also get the classic Greek plays. Bible uses classical Greek and alludes to Greek culture and plays constantly, both in the Old Testament (LXX) and the New Testament, so if you don't know it's doing that, you won't understand Bible. Scholars used to know this, but beginning about 1930, they chucked the whole idea of Bible being so 'into' Atticisms. Big mistake.

And here's a weird recommendation: a really good English dictionary. Oxford, Merriam's, Webster's. Not the abridged kind. The big one. Because, lots of material you'll read will be in English, and the way English is used by historians and theologians, is not what you hear daily in your life. Same words, but very different meaning. So if you are researching, you are prone to use what you hear as the meaning of the word, and will then be scratching your head or frustrated. Since English is the world's language due to the internet, it's not a profitless thing even to your secular life, to learn English better. (English is the most fuzzy, among the world's languages, but we're stuck with it.)

Other Sites is a listing of Bible research links on the web which are completely unrelated to my pastor or to me. It's comprehensive, and multi-denominational; it has many links to universities and seminaries which I found helpful (especially Rutgers), as well as links people felt important enough to send me during my years on the #scripture chat channel (a great channel on undernet, but I've not been back in years). So you can tool around that page's subpages and see if there are good study materials.

Upshot: much study material on the Bible is available; lots of different versions of the Bible, you can buy. I see no good translation of the Bible, so I can't recommend any, whether online or in print. But the old, familiar known translations provide cross-referencing. Again, if you don't study Bible in the original language texts, try to start now. Else, you are wasting your time. Bible translations cut God's head off, render grace passages into works passages, reverse the no-soul-in-womb verses (what, are they afraid?), totally obscure the thinking nature of the spiritual life. It's pathetic. Until I had to write these webpages I didn't pay much attention to translations, since my pastor only taught from the original languages. Well, now I know better. It's not the same at all, okay? All Bible translation suffers from three problems:

  1. Translators do very little fresh research; instead, they just copy extant prior translations. And why? Oh, in academia you run scared of disagreeing with "tradition", however wrong that tradition is! And "tradition" isn't merely wrong, it's vilely, insulting-to-God wrong, in Bible translations. If you've spent any time in my webpages, you've surely seen many examples to prove true the foregoing statement.
  1. Translations are euphemized to suit ascetic tastes, and that's not Bible, but instead... blasphemy. You're not supposed to reverse the meaning of Scripture in translation; but time and again I find out that's exactly what's been done; there's a predictable pattern of systematic reversal in translation (i.e., sex and pregnancy verses, military verses, financial verses, God's-Nature verses, nature-of-spiritual-life verses, anti-works verses). There's another major category, which I call "gratuitous spite": the reversal appears to be done out of sheer, grinning malice. This category needs an example. Exodus 12:6's "at twilight", should read before sunset, the exact opposite of the translation; "at twilight" violates the sabbath, see. There are many verses with that prepositional phrase; and most translators render its Hebrew into, "at twilight" — totally unaware that they thus 'make' God contradict His Own Law! But Satan is aware, 🤣. We are all vulnerable! Translators do not intend to blaspheme by reversing Holy Writ; but that's still what happens; if you read through my pages, you'll see hundreds of examples you yourself can test.
  1. In any event, Bible is too genius to be properly translated. God preserved the original language manuscripts for a reason — He knows what those manuscripts really mean, and He really means for you to learn them. As is. God didn't 'translate' your salvation, but saved you directly. So you don't 'translate' His Word, you learn it directly. It's not intellectual, it's supernatural. His System (Greek: "ἑνότης", keyword in 1 Corinthians and Ephesians), Him using His Own Power.. In your head; thus replicating His Head (Christ's) into your head, 1 Corinthians 1:5, Romans 12:1-3, Ephesians 4:11-16 (per the inspired Greek; translations are all reversed)! He can do this thing. So learn His Way, in His System. God's System summarizes what His System is, and you can prove it by trying it. Another good summary of that System is in the first section of Divine DNA.

Sorry to be so critical, but we're here to Learn God, not fit in with the always-broad-gated-crowd. The gate is still narrow, post-salvation. Satan can't afford too many folks to "get it" about what "Christian" really means. So he has this Fake Church system, Revelation 17 — not any one denomination, but an underlying structure of politicized religion in Christ's Name. Only in His Name, not in Him. Same problem, as the Jews faced back before Christ came (and ever since). Which satanic system, is always popular, in any generation. Again, test this claim yourself, as always...

Trust in God, breathe 1 John 1:9, Test the material before you buy for sense, 1 John 4's warning about "spirit of truth" versus "spirit of error". For 99% of extant Bible-Study material, in my opinion, is in that latter category. Error Giveaway Hint: so nice, so much 'holy' vocabulary.. But zero or false substance. So breathe 1 John 1:9 and test whatever you contemplate buying. Holy Spirit knows what you need, so Be in God's System!


Recommended Reading List of 'my' Website Material

Upshot meaning of all 'my' webpages: when God says we are "sons of God in Christ Jesus" (Galatians 3:26), He's not exaggerating. So we need to get the Thinking of Christ built upon the nature of Christ we get that first nanosecond we believed in Christ for our salvation (John 3:16 leads to Romans 8:4 leads to Ephesians 4:11-16, which is "God's System"). Pretty much everything in my webpages elaborates on that one theme, which is also the central thesis of my pastor (among others). This is what Christendom has missed. We can't afford to miss it. We don't ask, so we don't receive, like James says in James 4. So we don't know what "sons of God in Christ Jesus", even means. Not to worry. God knows. God reveals. And baby, What a Salvation we got!

Ergo: what's best for you to read, is the correct definition of "best". Only God knows that answer: so ask Him whether you should be reading at all, and what you should be reading. God chose your existence, just as He did mine, and therefore "right" is solely a matter between God and you. The life is vertical, not horizontal.

If it matters, in my opinion the shortest and best of 'my stuff' for big-picture orientation is as follows:

People like my videos. You'll find them in the Videos and Descriptions Archive

All 'my' website writing derives from the very heavy, thought-provoking "Lord vs. Satan" series. I needed to synthesize what I was learning under my own right pastor, but the material is not cast in his lingo. We must be under pastors, but they only get an hour or so per class, to teach. So there's lots of stuff to do with what they teach: turn over the material in the Spirit-Filled Brain! Hence God uses everything and everyone, to facilitate that turning-over.

So if you wanna trace a growing thought pattern, well... you might wanna dig in and read the series, starting with the Lord vs. Satan Part 1.

The latest 'advance' in that thought pattern is the very long DDNA series; prior adjunctive pieces of above-average writing quality are The Paradox of Merit.. On Trial! and Due Diligence, Diplomatic Disclosure of God's Design. It also shows how that reconciliation is hypostatically solved as a juridical matter, with Love actually being the Sovereign cause for the valid juridical nature, and also why no-lesser-thans are allowed. We start lesser than, but that's only the start: see Hebrews 2. See, Love never coerces, so how far up we go, depends on consent; Sovereign God wants it to be an agreed thing, what He does to us. So Christ went all the way, Hebrews 1. So we can too, Ephesians 4:13, Ephesians 3:19. It's not hyperbole, but "the surpassing greatness of His Superior Power to/toward/for us who believe", Ephesians 1:19 (largely my pastor's translation). Since Christ paid, we can reject, but that only restricts how we process the Divine Nature we got at salvation (2 Corinthians 5:21, 1 Peter 5:1, 2 Peter 1:4, John 3:16, Hebrews 3:14, Hebrews 11:6, etc). DDNA series seeks to show how God builds upon that Divine Nature, as Romans 8 (especially Romans 8:4) explains. All 1 John is about this building process. Our rejection doesn't 'cheat' God of anything; only ourselves.. The Lord vs. Satan, explores how this Love is God's Integrity (back before I knew that's what it meant, 🤣), as a running thread throughout the whole document, with major comparison to alternative ideas, plans, man's and Satan's works, etc.

The homepage provides a short abstract of each webpage underneath its link — if you can't immediately tell its content from the title — so you might want to read the abstracts, before spending your time on the page.

The other webpages are more technical and have their niches. Case Study in Flawed Dating of Exodus, Passover Plot, and Mirroring Timeline are very date-heavy. It boggles my mind how horrible is the so-called 'scholarship' on Bible. I've yet to see a documentary or movie on Bible stuff which gets more than 20% of the information, right. So these pages are very complex to plow through, but useful. Can't understand Part 4 of the Lord vs. Satan, without them. Same, for the exegesis pages.


Mark Twain once said, "There are lies, damned lies, and statistics."

Hence this disclaimer: I'm just writing a report to God, to test myself; so I'm pretty anal about re-editing and getting right what's wrong; very happy to be corrected, therefore. So if you read one of 'my' webpages, it's only between God and you. God runs this thing. All ideas are His. We're all Royal Priests under Him... learning His Language of Love, the Bible. I have to mention "my pastor" when something specific he said, I use. His material is copyrighted, not to prevent knowledge, but to prevent people falsely claiming to speak for him, or claiming they invented certain concepts. I make no such claim. Pretty much everything in these webpages is an extrapolation (rightly or wrongly) of something I heard in Bible class under him, over the last 40+ years. But what I try to do, is ignore where I got it, and see what's the proof from Scripture; it's a form of double-blind clinical testing, AKA "due diligence" Before The Lord. Hence occasionally, if an idea comes from someone else specific, I'll mention it in these sites. Most of the work is 'original', only in the sense that I try to restrict the inputs to Scripture. So this name-credit rule does not work vice versa; I don't want any name-credit. If I cared about name-credit, I'd have published, written in a 'respectable' writing style, and furnished my real name. Don't hold your breath waiting for me to do that. So please don't ask me to identify myself. Either vet the content or don't, but please forget about the nominal author.

Preface

God hears each of our thoughts, so the spiritual life is about learning how to think toward Him: Christ's counter-thinking on the Cross paid for sins when they were imputed and judged on Him, Isaiah 52:13-54:1. Christ did that because He wanted to know God. His Humanity's knowledge was limited, and in His Humanity He had to keep on willing to receive the knowledge from the Holy Spirit. He was motivated to do that, because He wanted to know God. So He learned and lived on the Word, Matthew 4:4. Not, to gain status. Not, to think well of Himself. But because He loved seeing God. It was never about sin, never about religion, but only about being One with God, John 17.

That same Love Creation Contract is the Legacy for our own spiritual life, Isaiah 53:10-12, 2 Corinthians 13:14, John 17:13-24. Therefore:

Consequently, one of the thinking patterns to develop, is self-auditing. Am I thinking correctly? What do I need to think better? One should never stand pat on beliefs. Standing pat is not holy at all; nor is it loyalty: it's stubbornness, fear, laziness. If science stood pat on its beliefs, human civilization would still be in rags. Truth proves itself, so "the ear tests truth" (Elihu, to Job), "test me in this" (God, to Malachi), "judge yourselves" (Paul, to Corinthians), "test the spirits" (1 John 4) are all mandates, not options. Notice how thinking skills get developed when you obey those mandates.

Hence I write webpages to audit myself, account for beliefs, get closer to the truth about God: why He even bothered to create, and what is His Design for mankind. This section summarizes the main theses which resulted. You'll get a gist idea of the theses as you scan the "contents" URLs at the top. Theses are also 'surprising', in that: a) I really didn't know they would turn out to be the theses; and b) I can't find much corroboration for them in Christian teaching (other than through my pastor), yet much verification exists in Bible and history.

God's agenda is to make us into His Own Son via transformation of our thinking. But that agenda and the other truly big questions are dismissed by 'typical Christianity' as inscrutable; or, are given soundbyte, fuzzy, honeyed, and flat wrong answers. So the webpages must also account for why that happens. All of 'typical' Christianity's 'answers' add up to you better hustle your buns for 'the church'. Yeah, and then you never know God? You can't obey Someone you never learn. Zechariah 5:5-7, are you doing your sacrificing for me? Nope. For ego, for religion, for Satan's plan in Matthew 4 (temptations are all to do works for people). Whoops.

For even in translation, look -- John 3:16 or John 16:9, which the Lord Himself said -- it seems pretty straightforward to me. When I read Revelation 7, that's straightforward, too. Believe and you are saved. At the beginning of the Tribulation, 12,000 of each of 12 Jewish tribes (leaving out Daniel, giving double portion to Joseph, clever wordplay) are 'sealed' (= saved, see Ephesians 1:13, Ephesians 4:30). To say "sons of Israel" plus their tribe names is blunt, right? And "whosoever believes in Him shall never perish but have eternal life" is rather blunt, no?

So why, all over the internet you find people adding verbs to "believe", as if you also needed those other verbs to be saved (repent-of-sin, invite, make-Christ-Lord, pray, get wet, live a 'clean' life afterwards, whatever that means) -- Bible clearly says those other verbs are at most Believer Priestly Privileges. So why misread the verses? Some verses proving those are believer priestly privileges are located at the homepage. There are many more verses than cited, but the list given should be a good appetizer.

And why is it, some denominations call Revelation 7 a sealing of Christians? Why do people read verses backwards, even in translation? I spent a whole day in a chatroom once, hearing someone claim that Adam sired Seth when he was 800 years old, reading the Genesis 5:3-4 verses, backwards! And insisting he was reading the Bible correctly?

So too, the blatant Bible statements that you only believe once, and you are forever saved, AKA "eternal security" in theology. How can anyone misread John 3:16? Genesis 15:6? John 3:36? Believe once, it's blatant Greek, can't miss it. Forever saved, blatant Greek, can't miss it. But we do! Look on the internet! Only 12 sites I could find even understand the true Gospel (search on "how to be saved"); few sites on the internet understand eternal security (maybe 20 understand it, search on "eternal security"). You'll notice those who do say you're saved only by faith, will still deny Christians can stop believing 🙄, even though Luke 8:13 outlines that believers can still be saved and stop believing. There's no such thing as "faith upkeep". But look how obvious: Cross Finished, results last forever, Greek τετέλεσται, you can't change it. You can't roll back time, duh.

Amazing, the twisting of Bible people attempt, in order to fantasize they can somehow add to or subtract from Christ's Finished Work on the Cross. It's embarrassing: obviously any backsliding a believer does post-salvation, was paid for pre-salvation, 2000 years prior on the Cross. To lose salvation would be to say God didn't get paid for some post-belief sin, which means God is a liar and incompetent, to boot. Yikes, how embarrassing, that the blatant text of verses like John 10:28-29 are explained away by people who so desperately want to say their good or bad behavior is as powerful as the Lord's finished work on the Cross. That's a sin, self-righteous arrogance, claiming one's behavior or actions are that powerful: whoops. So then the one claiming you can lose salvation, having just sinned by making that very claim -- by his own accounting is unsaved! So who should listen to his interpretation of Bible? God isn't in an unbeliever. See the silliness of their claim that post-salvation sins weren't paid for on the Cross? Which claim it must be, since they think you not saved if you sin post- belief in Christ?

So too, the blatant Bible statement that post-salvation, you must name your sins to God to be in fellowship and get His Brains. In 1 John 1:9, John uses Greek verb καθαρίζω, same Temple-Cleansing word as in the LXX. Duh. Yeah, so if you don't use it, you stay defiled; so your understanding of Bible will be zilch, zero, nada, bupkis. Yeah, and that's why only two sites I could find on the internet, got 1 John 1:9 right. So how much of the stuff passed off as Christian on the internet, is worthless? Nearly all of it. Any accuracy you find is a parroting from someone in the past who got something right. Even an unbeliever can parrot the Gospel (and let's be honest, they usually do a better job 🤣). Even a carnal believer can parrot what someone else said correctly about Bible. Of course, that's the problem in Christianity, for centuries: everyone parrots, no one really checks out in the Bible to test a claim or interpretation. Rather, they go by what some 'respectable' person in the past says about it. Leaving unused the Infinitely Respectable Power of the Holy Spirit to enable them to vet Bible, which after all is a mandate (i.e., Ephesians 5:18, 1 John 4:1-6).

For absent 1 John 1:9, you can't understand Bible if it bit you. Christ was filled with the Spirit -- so must we be. Else, kiss your spiritual life, good-bye. Can't lose salvation unless you can reverse the Cross itself. Can be spiritually-comatose your whole life down here, absent 1 John 1:9. And then you get the privilege of being embarrassed at the Bema for not reading Bible properly. It's not as if John 3:16 or 1 John 1:9 have been grossly mistranslated. Misused, yes. By those who want their works to count, just like the unbeliever does in Revelation 20:11-15.

Of course, the eternal-insecurity folks who want their works to count, can't read 1 John 1:6-2:2, which is addressed to believers, showing them how to regain post-salvation spirituality and its basis of Christ being Risen, Our Defense Attorney. So the eternal-insecurity folks don't use 1 John 1:9: by their weird view, you can't sin after you believe in Christ, so if you do sin, you're not saved. Of course, they don't read 1 John 5:18 in the context, in the Greek (for it's mistranslated, should read "being sired by God" the Holy Spirit, see context) -- nor, in the context of the entire Bible, which specializes in showing believers who sin post-salvation, and graphically. So instead of naming their sins to God when they catch themselves sinning, they believe the Gospel yet again, and remain just as carnal as they were before. That accounts for why they can't read Bible. Noah's sins (homosexuality), Abram's sins (with Hagar and lying about Sarai being his wife), Moses' sins (2nd Meribah), David's sins (Bathsheba, murder of Uriah, numbering the people, balking at God's choice of Solomon), Peter's sins (the lot drawing), Paul's sins (going to Jerusalem, see his own confession in Acts 22), Mary's sins (her own testimony, Luke 1:47, "woman" verses the Lord spoke to her) -- all these, documented in Bible to teach us that sin gets worse after you believe in Him, so beware -- are those Bible greats unsaved? So when David writes Psalm 32:5, Psalm 66:18, when the Levitical priests took all those sin offerings, they took them from unbelievers? Where does it ever say in the Bible, that once you believe in Christ you'll never sin again? Rather, doesn't Bible stress that once you believe in Christ, your sins multiply, due to the new antithetical pressure of becoming a spiritual being with God's Own Righteousness?

The list of retarded Christian claims could go on and on. The top ten? Here's my guess:

Christians are retarded, because they cannot discern False Doctrine when they hear it. Yet False Doctrine always has 10 defining characteristics:

False Doctrine always has False Teachers hawking it. Again, there are 10 'signs' of a False Teacher, so you can avoid him/her:

Thus there are at least 10 ways to wreck your spiritual life, via false beliefs:

False beliefs come from misreading Bible. Basically, a person misreads the Bible when he oversimplifies what it says, as illustrated here:

Aha. So accounting for any theses in 'my' webpages, must also include why 'my' theses differ so much from "what's out there." Especially, if what's out there is wacko, cuckoo. And wacko is normative, in Christianity's history. For if you were alive during the first century AD you'd have heard the same stupidities. So many people trying to cash in on Jesus' fame, so much tripe pandered in His Name. It's a real miracle we even have a Bible. Wanna see how insane people were back then? Try earlychristianwritings.com, read the texts which aren't what we call Bible today. Most of those people must have been on first-century's equivalent of crack or something; funnier reading, than Mad Magazine or those funky tabloids which scream at you from the grocery checkout lines. It only got worse, from the second century forward. So all the above internet weirdness, is right in line with history. Which is to say, wacko.

If God really lives, He makes sense in what He commissions be written. He empowers it, doesn't use a "Q" or other human source. And from Genesis to Revelation, you can see one author behind it all. Can't say that, of any but the 66 books which have come down to us as the "Bible". The wanna-be-bible writings which Roman Catholics and others buy, are demonstrably fake. Authorship is like a fingerprint. So read an alleged holy book for its content, not its flowery bamboozle, and you'll know within maybe ten minutes if God wrote it. Of course, if you don't use 1 John 1:9 you can't discern anything, and if you are an unbeliever you are spiritually dead. So first believe in Christ, then use 1 John 1:9, and you can discern God's Authorship. God knows what He wrote. He won't lie about it. Therefore, 'my' material must compare and contrast the 'typical' Christian spin versus the Bible's answers.

Any thesis or tenet must be tested it for accuracy. So 'my' webpages are complex. Big questions have big answers. So to read these webpages, is a substantial investment of your time. Frankly, don't read unless: a) you know God wants it, and b) you breathe 1 John 1:9 as needed, to keep having the Holy Spirit's Brains. Else, you waste time. To test, you need: 1) good Bible software, like Logos or Accordance; 2) a knowledge base, like Encyclopedia Britannica or better; 3) time for research, and hence patience. Again, please ask Him before you decide anything, breathing 1 John 1:9 so your request will be answered. The number one reason why prayer goes unanswered is that we're in a state of sin when we pray. Second most common reason is that we don't ask the Right Person. All Prayer goes to the Father of Jesus Christ -- not to Christ, not to the Holy Spirit, not to Allah or Krishna or some 'saint'. Rather, to Father, Who of course is just as much God as Son and Spirit. If you pray to someone else, your prayer goes no higher than the ceiling, or is answered by demons. It's like calling the wrong phone number, or calling someone by the wrong name -- God will not answer, lest He be a liar and mislead you. See #5 of God's System for more about the protocol of prayer.

There's plenty of material in the websites addressing 'typical' questions, but the focus is on the Big Picture answers. So you'll find stuff on the Gospel, on evolution, on why there's no soul life in the womb. But these topics are part of top-down accounting, starting with Why and How God Thinks. It's like balancing your checkbook: everything must fit and balance to the Why and How God Thinks, or it's not properly accounted. Hence when you see any 'typical' content, the purpose is within the bigger whole of this top-down accounting, and is not intended to sell you on a particular 'slant'. For what you believe, what you fix in your own beliefs, is solely between God and you. Again, the spiritual life is about thinking toward Him, never mind the people-to-people agreements. People didn't make your soul, God did. So the thinking is toward God, never mind if people agree. There will always be some human who thinks you're a heretic, and some other one who thinks you're the most brilliant Bible student since Paul. So bleeping what? They didn't make your soul. They didn't save you. God did.

These webpages are about God and His Word, not me or my beliefs. Moreover, I might change my beliefs tomorrow depending on what I learn from His Word, so what follows is by no means a guarantee of my beliefs; nor should my beliefs matter, as only God is important. But for those who insist on knowing despite the fact it's irrelevant, here are seven major personal tenets, which are explored and audited in all webpages.

  1. Yes, Trinity, but not like Westminster Confession's bad wording. The Confession meant well, but back then they had a poor idea of Bible, so the Confession is badly worded. 2 Corinthians 13:14's Greek says it better. Salvation is not juridically possible if God is not Triune, so scrap all that folderol about God being one person, or about members of the Godhead being somehow unequal because They don't choose to have equal authority. So Trinity means not Hydra-headed, "Three in One", but rather "Three and One", Three Persons and Same Essence (Characteristics). 2 Corinthians 13:14 depicts Three Co-Equal Gods, not a Hydra-headed monster. Main webpage on this starts in the Lord vs. Satan Part 1. I also made a page just about Trinity citations, with a comprehensive video listing the verses: Where in Bible, is "Trinity"?. It needs to be longer, but God uses whole rhetorical styles to communicate Trinity in Old Testament and New Testament, so I just classified some of His styles. Thus at least you get an idea how to spot the many deft Old Testament references to Each Person in the Godhead. Bible in translation can't portray the wordplay in the original language texts, which typically depicts Father and Spirit onomatopoeically or in fathering, breathing concept-play. Awesomely Witty Writ, especially using the "He" construction (three He's in a passage display how Each Member interfaces/responds to the Other, how They Work Together, Isaiah 63 being my favorite chapter of this kind of He usage).
  1. Believe in Christ once and you are saved forever, can't lose salvation, period. Yes, it's born from above, you acquire a human spirit in order to grow up spiritually with reference to God Who is Spirit. Three types of life: biological, hence body life, to relate to other biological life; soul life, to relate to other soul life; and spiritual life, which post-Adam's fall we only get once we believe in Christ -- to relate to God Who Is Eternal Spiritual Life. Very simple, very profound. Video playlist on this the only true Gospel, is embedded in on the homepage.
  1. Post-salvation, you must breathe 1 John 1:9 in order to be spiritual again. Only in a spiritual state can you learn Bible. Else all you'll learn is legalism and hot air, and you will never mature spiritually. You can't lose your spiritual life, but you do make its growth arrest and retrogress whenever you sin. Hence the need for 1 John 1:9, which is a license to grow, since spiritual apnea occurs whenever you sin. So don't worry about all those nasty sinners you secretly wish you could emulate. They are comatose. You will be comatose too, if you don't stop resenting their easy access to 1 John 1:9, just like you have -- resentment is a sin, just like irritation, jealousy, pride, envy, self-righteous preening over your works compared to someone else's. 1 John 1:9 is your lifeline. Theirs, too. See: True Spirituality, Habitual use of 1 John 1:9.
  1. You must mature spiritually after salvation, or you end up a spiritual Royal Peasant forever in heaven and in the eternal state. Forever happy, but at the peasant level (a child's kind of happiness). Spiritual maturation is a lifelong process of learning and living on Bible, not works. God's System summarizes the five functional elements. Associated video:
  1. God's Plan for the believer is to convert his thinking into the same thinking as Christ's Own, and that's a Royal Spiritual Lifestyle you live privately before God in your head, 24/7. It's antithetical to religion, completely. Satan invented religion in Genesis 3. Morality is a non-spiritual adjunct to the spiritual life, and of course nothing spiritual is anti-moral. But morality is never spiritual, as it's about people-people issues, not living-before-God issues. I made videos showing how you can actually diagnose your own progress or regress in the spiritual life -- irrespective of your denomination -- using a summary of what my pastor taught. You can see those videos in context of my very long webpage on the topic: Overview of the Spiritual Maturation Process. You can get his '1992 Spiritual Dynamics' series from 1992-2003 (#376, about 2100 live class lessons) for free at rbthieme.org.
  1. The Old Testament was upgraded in Christ, so Church is never Israel. Derivation of Church comes from a different, pre-Israel Kingship Contract Christ received based on the Cross. Personally, I'm rabidly pro-Israel. God keeps His Promises, and none of His Promises to them will be abrogated.
  1. Yes, Pre-Tribulation Rapture, but not the popular version of Rapture like an action movie, "feel the thrill". It's an Angelic Trial Precedence issue, instead. Basically Christ invented Church to stop Time from ending due to Israel's rejection, which impacted the nature of the Angelic Trial, hence we are in Christ, not in Israel.

The Bible proof for #6 and #7 is extensive, and requires much vetting. So I began the analysis here: How Covenant Properties produce Blessing or Cursing, by Association. Analysis continues down a long and winding path through the end of Part 4, sorry. All the New Testament is devoted to explaining this topic.

Hence these webpages diverge from 'typical' Christian output in certain major ways. Biggest divergence? 'Typical' Christianity is about morality and works. This tenet is juvenile, since what a dead-in-Adam body does is never spiritual, 1 Corinthians 2 and 1 Corinthians 15, Romans 12:1-3 (Greek). So what's "spiritual"? Thinking God's Thoughts in God's System. Spirituality is not a denominational issue, but rather an in-your-soul-thinking issue. Because, we are given that job under Christ as Royal Priests due to His Battlefield Royalty awarded at the Cross, main theme of Book of Hebrews. My pastor has taught that theme for over 50 years. Others teach similarly, but they are very few. Bible tells you that what you think is the spiritual life (i.e., Proverbs 23:7, Matthew 15:11, Matthew 12:34, Mark 7:20, 1 Samuel 24:13, Psalms 36:3, Proverbs 6:12, Proverbs 10:32, Proverbs 15:2, Proverbs 15:28, Luke 19:22, James 3:6-10, Revelation 13:5-6, Philippians 2:5-10, Ephesians 4:30ff, among other things; and Romans 12:2, would that someone translate it properly). That spirituality is living on the Word (Psalms 138:2, Matthew 4:4), not works and being nice to people.

Morality itself is a gift from God to make inter-human relationships happy. Morality is a happy thing, not a badge for preening. But it's used to preen, and it's not spiritual, in any event. Spirituality is toward God, not people. Higher life. Thinking life. Example: the First Commandment is spiritual. Can't Love God if you're not a spiritual being, can't love God if you're not using 1 John 1:9 (main theme in 1 John). The other nine, are secular, moral. Obviously if you love God, you'll want to obey them. But you can obey them and not Love God, too, as they are morality principles, irrespective of your spiritual status (i.e., whether you are a believer in Christ).

Isaiah 53 tells you twenty-one times that His Thinking paid for our sins, in the Hebrew. And guess what? It's largely mistranslated! So a frequent reference to that Chapter runs throughout my webpages. אִם־תָּשִׂים אָשָׁם נַפְשׁוֹ (im tasim asham naphesho) are the eight most important Hebrew syllables in the Bible. They're in Isaiah 53:10, and mean "if He will appoint His Soul as a Substitute for Sin (literal, guilt offering, red heifer)". There's this fascinating switch from male to female suffix in "appoint", since the red heifer offering was the substitute for sin, the guilt offering for the nation. But note: His Soul ("naphesho"). Every verse in the New Testament, and most in the Old Testament, play on these eight syllables. So um -- thinking His Thoughts is the spiritual life. Paying for sins, even. Only a soul can think. "Appointed" really doesn't cut it. It's more like reflexive, not passive; Him appointing His Own Soul as a substitute for sin.

My pastor didn't teach us Bible in translation, but from the original language texts. Most Christians get Bible in translation, and the translations are horrible. So much exegesis material is within each webpage, since Bible translations are so often misleading, obtuse, or (frankly) wrong. So not only must the website address what I did learn in a testable manner, but an inordinate amount of webspace must be spent comparing, correcting, what's the translated "norm". Else the reader has no frame of reference for analysis and testing. Testing improves thinking, so it's never a waste of time.

As a result, often the meanings and interpretations you'll find in my webpages would be considered controversial. Much of the material is original research, too, especially the Lord vs. Satan Part 4 with respect to how God Accounts for Time. Hence I write informally to avoid sounding overly scholarly, lest the reader be lulled by my learning Bible in Hebrew and Greek, into not testing the material. Lots of people claim to know Bible in Hebrew and Greek nowadays. That doesn't make them scholars. Rather, even if scholars, absent God's Brains all their output is garbage. You only get God's Brains via being in fellowship, which means not in a state of sin (1 John 5:18, correct meaning, that when in the Spirit you're not sinning) -- 1 John 1:9 being used like breathing. Hence God the Holy Spirit will attest to what's right and wrong in any material for a reader, as He knows what He passed on to a writer. Ergo my courage to write, though not a scholar. Nerd note on 1 John 5:18: the verse, like all Bible verses, is a skyscraper of meaning. Human spirit doesn't have volition, it's a type of CPU, so it never sins. Only the soul sins. Moreover, since paid for by Christ, your sins were converted on the Cross, so again, no sin counts against you juridically. That only leaves your fellowship with God in time, while you still live down here, and as Paul had explained in Romans 8, you can't be filled with the Spirit and carnal at the same time. Hence the need for naming sins, which was true ever since Adam. So 1 John's about how to know you are filled with the Spirit, since the flashy visible spiritual gifts were all gone by the 90's AD when John wrote. So when you are filled with the Spirit, you're not sinning but in fellowship: hence the positional wording in 1 John 5:18, to remind you of the legal basis for that status, paralleling 1 John 1:5, 1 John 1:7, 1 John 1:9, etc. In this, he refers the reader back to what Paul said in Romans 8, which is another chapter on the function and result of the spiritual life.

Website writing tone is often engaging, abrasive, even obstreperous, with lots of wordplay, sarcasm, satire; not at all like the sweetness-and-light writing style in 'typical' Christian webpages. Political incorrectness is Bible standard. Bible in its original language texts is written in those ways, and uses plenty of sexual-innuendo language which the translators cover up. So obviously I'm influenced by Bible's rhetorical styles, after decades of being exposed to them. God uses such offensive writing styles to make the text memorable, as well as get His Point across in the most trenchant way possible. Very easy to remember, that's for sure!

Website references to my pastor are necessarily frequent, and are not intended to 'sell' him to anyone. These references are partly to reaffirm God's gift to every believer of a teacher (no two teachers or believers are alike, so there are many teachers God matches up); and also, a due diligence disclosure on the source of doctrines brainstormed in here. Word and teacher. God gifts both, and they are designed to function together to grow each believer, Ephesians 4:11-16. So please do not regard what I write as indicative of what my pastor teaches: I'm extrapolating and vetting, not parroting him. Except during spiritual childhood, you don't honor God by parroting; so you don't thus honor a teacher, either, Luke 6:40, Matthew 10:24-25, for purposes of Matthew 13:52 (in context). Hence you turn over (think over) what you learn, to learn more; else you'll never internalize what your teacher taught, and have a functioning spiritual life. So: to know what my pastor teaches, please consult his own material, at rbthieme.org.

If relevant, it took me perhaps seven years of 60-hour weeks to compile and test the synthesis in these websites; the underlying thinking about the doctrines themselves, has been an growing obsession for several adulthood decades. All websites undergo continual revision and audit. Faith cannot stand still. Always something to learn and correct, since God is infinite, but we are not.

Central Practical Theme of the New Testament, explored in these webpages: The Son of God added Humanity to Himself -- why? For father. Specifically, to become King-Priest kata Melchizedek. And we are Royal Priests under Him For Father. As a result, the world gets blessed. We all wonder how it is that post-death, we won't sin anymore. We all wonder how it is that we can be saved forever. Well, think: there's this forever dichotomy between Infinity and finity. So how does God get paid for the dichotomy? It's not just the sin problem, but the shortfall in our very nature, as Romans 3:23 so deftly states. Two problems, not just the sin problem. Shortfall of finity, not just of sin. Greek word for the shortfall in that verse is ὑστερέω, and it signifies someone who can't get to the finish line. Yeah, God is infinite, how can we ever get to the finish line of Infinite Glory? We can't. So we need a God-Man whose Unified Nature (two-in-one, a ὑπόστασις) did get there, as our High Priest. Thus the ongoing thoughts in Him Who lives forever, pays for the shortfall, forever. And we Church are forever Royal Priests under Him, ourselves learning how to think forever. For that learning will produce a will + truth result the Holy Spirit creates, such that like Him, we will freely never want to sin. And the Divine-Quality Thinking which is His, circulating in us, is the "sweet savor". So His Glory circulating in our heads, makes up for the fact that we are forever short, of ourselves. It's thus a Royal Training Program to be down here, learning His Thinking, a kind of DDNA (Divine DNA), so to speak. Like learning a language, is thinking. You drill, you become fluent, you become fluent under pressure. That's how sins got paid for, and that's how the infinity-finity dichotomy, is justified (bedato yatsdiq Hebrew clause in Isaiah 53:11, καὶ πλάσαι τῇ συνέσει δικαιῶσαι clause in LXX).

Books of Ephesians then Hebrews and then 1 John, focus stridently on this theme, which Christ forecast in the Gospels (especially John's). Hence paying for sins has a dual purpose: it was needed for that office to exist forever. Book of Hebrews painstakingly traces this out, and if you read it over and over even in translation, you should get a glimmer of that idea. Christ counter-thought on the Cross, thus paying for sins. So as His Legacy, we are a kingdom of Royal Priests, 1 Peter 2:5,9. What does that mean? Well: Priests think thoughts which please father, and thus the world is blessed. That's how it was in the Old Testament (Torah = spiritual tefillin, always on the head, in the thoughts, wordplay in Deuteronomy) ; now it's a Royally-Upgraded Thought Pattern, for Church: Christ in you, the confidence of Glory, Colossians 1:25-27, Ephesians 4:13, "ὑπογραμμός" term in Peter (literal, copybook, used in 1 Peter 2:21).

Royalty must be trained, and all that training has to complete down here ("finish the course", "endure to the end/completion") for us to "inherit the kingdom" (become a king); rather than be merely in a kingdom, 1 Corinthians 3:15 inheritance, with all that woody human battling and hustling, burnt at the Bema.

Father is pleased by Royal Thinking like His Son, and all that hustling for mere people, won't build the Thinking Father likes. So the pretense of "honoring the Lord" when the believer won't do what the Lord did, Matthew 4:4 -- well, how arrogant can one get? Fake humility, all that churchinanity stuff -- it's Satan's Plan, not God's, as Matthew 4 reveals (they are all good deeds temptations). It honors Father to learn to think like His Son, period.

The blessing by association with us was the impetus for the Lord vs. Satan. The series is windy, long and complex, a comprehensive vetting of Bible's story of God's Grand Design, from eternity past to eternity future. For decades my pastor taught Blessing by Association since Adam's fall, but to be honest I didn't understand him well. So I had to vet the idea myself, as my pastor only got an hour a day to teach (7x per week, for most of his career, non-repeating). Every webpage is tied to the Lord vs. Satan in some way, growing out of it. Basically, the world is blessed in ways only God can do, simply if you are spiritually maturing. First Facet lists seven categories of those ways. There are more than seven categories, of course. So the flipside is, we're responsible for God not doing those things, if we refuse to mature in His Word. His Word, not our works. Scary stuff, to not grow up in God's System.

In sum, it's about Your Own Spiritual Life: it's about testing whatever you see, hear, think, for the sake of developing spiritual Thinking Skills which emulate Christ's and thus please Father, 1 John 4:1, Hebrews 11:1 (Greek, always mistranslated). Bible reasons out stuff a lot, and the people in it are always adding concepts, verses, things about God together. The practice develops the soul; you'll live with God forever, so developing your own soul is His First Priority for your life. As you practice analysing, thinking, daily using, rebutting or reinforcing a doctrine or tenet, you gain skill in thinking toward Our Mutual Dad. Then He responds by blessing everyone in your periphery, and your home country. The more you grow, the more He blesses. Blessing isn't restricted to what's shallow and pleasant -- God has a bigger definition than our puny ideas of blessing (i.e., Israel had 400 years of slavery, that sure didn't seem like blessing, but it was). So even bad stuff is a blessing, guaranteed by the Cross.

For God's Spiritual Communion Communication Policy is John 4:23-24, 1 John 4: God's Brain 'talking' to your brain as you read anything at all, anywhere at anytime -- principle of John 14:26, to implement and sustain 1 John 1:3 through 1 John 2:6, per John 15's Vine and Branches System. From Him Alone, do you get proof. So you know you didn't hallucinate it. Bible proves itself, since it is our Instruction in Writing, 1 Corinthians 2:16, in order to inscribe our souls, Jeremiah 31:31-34 as explained by Hebrews 8:8 through Hebrews 10:17, Hebrews 4:12, and the "λίθοι" and "ὑπογραμμός" concepts in Peter. That's the idea, fulfilling Isaiah 55:8-13, the quintessential Decree of Our Transmutation in Christ. So of course it's a nettlesome transformation, to go from a soul of barbed weeds, to Bridal Words: Esther Goal, per Matthew 16:18 and John 17. In the ancient world, you prepared for a royal marriage over some years (especially the last 18 months), beautifying both soul and body for your Husband. In this modern world, with bodies that are full of the sin nature, it's the soul which needs preparation: and it takes a lifetime. No matter what your denomination.

All else is irrelevant; doesn't matter how right you are, how right or wrong someone else is, how person "A" allegedly 'compares' to person "B". But it Matters Altogether, that the spiritual brain gets developed, since all you take with you at death, is your soul. For God shouldn't have to live with morons forever, Isaiah 55:8-9! So it's not 'selfish', but Honoring God, to grow up yourself. Which He does to you, as you learn, test, and "practice righteousness", as 1 John puts it -- living on the Word in your own thinking, before the Lord. And it should go without saying that no one but the Holy Spirit can correct whatever is wrong in a belief. So again, it doesn't matter so much what the denomination is, but rather that one be in God's System so the Holy Spirit runs the spiritual maturation process.

It's just Him and you, 24/7. That's what best blesses, everyone else. God will use your growth to bless the entire world, even as He has always done -- more so now, since you are a Royal Priest under Him. Why that's true, I've tried to explain in all these websites. Happy brainstorming!


Best Short Sections

In addition to the "True Spirituality" table immediately below, the following short webpages (or sections) are most useful for big-picture orientation to God's Plan for each of us. These are:

  1. Royal Gospel Brief on the Homepage.
  2. The Gospel: a Due-Diligence Contract Disclosure, Medical and Legal Statement (more pithy than the Brief);

Those Five Elements/Pillars are all physically testable in your own life. Try practicing them for a month or two, see for yourself. Doesn't violate any denominational tenet, runs beneath them all, and really the same underlying mechanics were true in the Old Testament. Covenantal differences run atop these five sine qua nons in all covenants, all denominations. Again, you can test it and prove it out. Most emails I get, are on how 1 John 1:9 literally changed that person's life. You can prove this, in your own body. Try it, make 1 John 1:9 a habit, see for yourself.

  1. You -- in Me!, brief table showing how God's Purpose is to transmute the believer in His Son's Thinking (learning and living on Bible, essentially);
  2. Synopsis of God's Architectural Design, which is the underlying goal of His Plan (solving the incompatibility of nature between Infinite God and finite human); and
  3. Your Royal Priesthood Destiny with potential for Eternal Kingship, which is your Legacy in Christ. That entire section is about the Destiny, but the chart is a good brief on your position in it. Another good webpage (but it's much longer than the Destiny table) is Due Diligence, Diplomatic Disclosure of God's Design. A good but short page showing how all this plays so you can monitor your spiritual progress, is: Flow Chart of the Spiritual Maturation Process. Its six pages of color-coded charts diagram how spiritual maturation 'plays' in the life. Overview of the Spiritual Maturation Process has more info explaining the chart, and is well worth the time (2+hours) spent listening. No one in Christendom except people trained under my pastor, even know about this material (which therefore violates no denomination). Yet you can literally prove all of it true in your own body, if you just 'do' it. The rest of Part 3 explains the nature, structure, and function of the post-salvation life for Church -- and you can test it all by living it in your own life, see the effect in yourself. Takes 30-60 days for you to notice internal results; and in a year of practice you will mature so fast, others will notice too. (It's really easy, so the temptation is to think it too easy, quit in favor of Satan's huff-and-puff churchinanity plan, the norm of retarded Christendom.)
  1. The nature of Time itself is critical to understanding the spiritual life, hence Ten Ways this Timeline differs from what's 'out there'; Why this timeline balances to Bible dates is worth skimming (it connects to all the time-related webpages), especially its #1 and #9. Nothing like it on the internet or in print, because this Bible Doctrine got lost during the 'Church Fathers'. So of course vet it with 1 John 1:9 as needed. Its #9 shows how God granting time due to spiritual maturation and voting to learn God, works since Adam on the grand scale of history, you can trace yourself from Adam (once you know Bible's own accounting calendar, which is unlike anything else you can find in Judaism or Christian theology), how God has keyed Time itself to either maturing believers or to mass believer votes. But the text might not make much sense until you've read through Part 4 of the Lord vs. Satan. How God grants time and its provable impact on history both mathematically and historically is pretty dramatic.

This How God Orchestrates Time (from Adam's Fall) is unique in Christendom. The doctrine was known to Israel, and to believers -- until the bilious Church Fathers rejected the Rapture, beginning sometime after 94 AD: that was the original scheduled beginning of the Tribulation under the Old Testament, had Israel accepted Christ. All this is explained in the webpages, beginning with Mirroring Timeline. Very long and heavy stuff. You can vet this. Why no one has done so in Christendom, I'll never understand -- well, maybe because everyone's eyes glaze over when vetting Bible numbers and dates. Took me two years of 60-hour weeks to research and write up, but it can be audited. And it's all in Bible and you can match the timeline to real history you can really prove. It documents in more detail from Bible how time is constructed based on Christ, person by person from Adam forward.

I learned this doctrine in the Bible during May 2004 as a result of asking God to show why my pastor taught that believers buy time. I couldn't see the proof from the teaching, but knew from Ephesians 5:16 and Colossians 4:5 (which he cited) that the doctrine was true. Bible proof is both unknown but vast, from Genesis 5 onward, and it's not hard to vet, but time-consuming 😏 because there are so many verses. For God tracks this Accounting in multiple ways, bases the entire Bible dating scheme on it. The entire Accounting construct is even built into Isaiah 53's Hebrew meter (begins at 'our' Isaiah 52:13 in Hebrew) -- which Isaiah uses as an Annual Countdown To Christ from the date he writes. Really shocking. You can conclusively prove Rapture is pre-Tribulation, kicks off the Tribulation immediately (no hiatus), as a result.

From the above seven sections, you get a quick but comprehensive sense of God's Plan for your life. All of my webpages focus on the big picture; the forest, not so much the trees. Because, Christianity doesn't see God's Forest; and so isn't in it. And so, isn't growing spiritually. But: only God can fix what's wrong with us. So only if we are in His System, will we grow. So we worry about being on the right playing field, right forest; which first means learning what 'forest', is really God's. God then will trim our trees, grow our trees, as needed. No two of us are alike.

If you'd rather a long, comprehensive reading, then go through the entire Lord vs. Satan series in order. It will take you months to read and analyze it all, but you'll have a very comprehensive and provable view of the 'forest'. The series starts with 'today', then goes back to eternity past, then gradually leads you through today and then ahead to the end of time, so you can see the macro fit surrounding 'today'. That's the rhetorical time format John uses to craft Revelation, so that's how the Lord vs. Satan is crafted: Classical Greek drama always centers on 'today', with flashbacks and flash-forwards.

Micro counterpart to the Lord vs. Satan, though much shorter, is the DDNA series. It covers the internal transformation of thinking you go through, whereas the Lord vs. Satan is more about the macro historical Angelic Trial fit of your current spiritual life, so you know where you are in the 'play' of God's Script. The DDNA series interfaces with the Lord vs. Satan series on Angelic Trial Witness outcome, for what God does inside you, is used outside you, to bless the world and prove God right in the Trial.

The DDNA and the Trial effect, even the continuation of the world itself due to spiritual maturation, is mammoth. The mind is naturally inclined to disbelieve it.

Finally, brainout Blog Archives is a blog on webpage and video updates for 2009 forward.

So now, here are the surprising theses and conclusions, broadly grouped.


True Spirituality

So Here's the First Surprising Thing: most Christians don't even know that True Spirituality is an Absolute, a state of being. You're only spiritual, if Filled with the Spirit; you're only Filled, if breathing 1 John 1:9 when you've sinned. So only between sins (sin being solved by use of 1 John 1:9) are you spiritual. Hence I use 1 John 1:9 like breathing. This was always true in the Old Testament, as well. You are spiritually comatose, carnal and worthless, unless 1 John 1:9 is breathed as needed, no matter how credentialed you are, or how many good deeds you do. Caveat #3 has more detail. The videos below introduce you to this doctrine.

Here's a longer demonstration of the same doctrine.



Surprising Theses Regarding God's Nature and Plan for Us

  1. God's Nature is Hypostatic; thus everything else in creation is also, and our Royal-Priestly, Diplomatic Role both down here and in eternity is also in ὑπόστασις with The Ὑπόστασις, Christ, to father. We all know "infinity" in math as an endless series of numbers from negative to positive. The larger meaning of that, is true Infinity, which is stasis that unites all opposites in a manner which justifies. Only Love can do this. Only Love can fulfill Righteousness and Justice. So God Sovereignly loves everything, bad and good, and justifies it all through His Son. In short, He could just instantly create everything to make it perfect, but instead chooses to do it the hard way, "filling all in all" as Paul puts it at the end of Ephesians 1. Webpages most focused on this doctrine are:

It becomes pretty easy to read Bible and see where the verses fit, once you understand what Bible means by "ὑπόστασις" (which is always mistranslated when it refers to God or Christ). This Ὑπόστασις actually gets constructed in your soul as you live in God's System, as you'll see in Bullet #3 of this subsection.

Did it ever bug you, that stupid "God is Three in One" claim? As if God were hydra-headed? Drove me crazy as a new believer, listening to some hippie in my freshman year describe God as this "egg" thingy. Boy, that Westminster Creed -- elsewhere sometimes brilliant, but not here -- messed up God's Trinity Nature big-time, as did the Roman Catholic Church (which the Koran emulates), claiming God would be "diminished" if more than "one". It's One Voluntary Corporation, dummies! 2 Corinthians 13:14's Three monadic Greek Articles of Incorporation, not an Egg of 'one article'!

Other relevant webpages concerning this and other stuff on God's Nature are:

That our primary role is a Royal Priesthood To Father, and not to bleeping people (!) is amazingly unexplored in Christendom. Book of Hebrews and the Gospels (especially John's) are unequivocal. Shocks me, that we don't know this. That's a ὑπόστασις. Lord vs Satan Part 3 walks you through what it means to be a Royal Priest in much more detail.

  1. God only wants to use His Sovereignty to love, because Love is the Integrity of God. It's not love as we understand the term, but is Absolute. The Rulership gets reconciled, so that the Love can justifiably function without compromise.

Here's a quick video on an example of how Bible explains Love is God's Head Attribute, via use of the genitive in 'Love of God' verses:

Calvinism thus fails Bible audit, among other things. For that apostate sect in Christianity yells loud and long on God's Sovereignty and Grace, but then strips Him of both, making Him a hateful tyrant, when you read the fine print of Calvinism's insane formulations. And it fails, because it fails first to examine how God chooses to use His Sovereignty, and why. The why, is Love. Else why even want to be God?

There's absolutely nothing like this "Love is the Integrity of God!" in theology or on the internet, other than through my pastor; and even he said he couldn't find anyone prior to him who ever taught it; so this is truly a surprise. What's so weird, is that once you're acquainted with just the idea, you can find Bible verses proving it true no matter where you look in the Bible. You know: once you've seen an Corvette, you thereafter can identify it. It's like having this Obvious Truth staring you in the face for centuries, and you suddenly realize that. Revolutionizes theology, in my opinion. We've been so focused on sin, that we forgot to ask why God did this salvation thing.

So added explanation is needed here, to acquaint you with the idea. Let's start with something obvious: Paul was right when he described "Love" (Canon, in that chapter) as seeing Him face-to-face (1 Corinthians 13:12). This Author didn't make Himself Good. God just always exists. There's no past, no future; it's all "One Big Now". So what's His Own Attitude toward His Own Existence? He's shocked. For, He didn't do anything to deserve to be God. Many a Christian would find that sentence heretical, as if it's only 'holy' if God were Sugar Daddy or Petty Judge, demanding from everyone else, homage. Not so. The fundamental juridical irony 'behind' God's Nature is this unmatched condition of just always being perfect, with no 'cause'. So, because He's Perfect, He is shocked to freely be perfect. So He Loves. And He loves, each other God. So They call Themselves by very revealing Names: "Father", "Son", "Spirit". They don't use Their Perfection to pound-the-chest, see-how-great-I-am. Oh no. They instead elect to fall prostrate before Each Other. With Son and Spirit, this is pretty easy to understand: Their Self-Chosen Titles, are utterly subordinate. But if you've ever been a parent, you understand how "Father" title would be the most subordinate of all: for you'd give your life, for your kids. No hesitation. So where's the expected banging of the sceptre? Nowhere. But for children, what must you do? Rear them under a sceptre, until they grow up enough to not need it. So, that's why much of Bible vocabulary is childlike (on the surface, and only in translation, the original language texts are far richer). For us. We need that vocabulary.

So as you grow up on the Book, you'll grow past the childish relationship of rules and roles; and then you will see the Author for Who He is. And then, you'll know mature glory. For every verse in the Book, is about God's Shock at being God, and the Glory of the Prostration-Love which is innate to His Character. It's not an anthropopathism, to say God is Shocked. Love loves Justice, and it's unjust to be Perfect, without a prostration counterpart. Paul uses 1 Corinthians 13 to explain how the then-future completion of Canon would fill us up with the Revelation of God: so we can indeed, fully learn Him. Paul references this completion, showing God's essential shock and Prostration-Love when he writes (NASB -- brackets are my corrections):


1 Corinthians 13:4-13

[4] Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, [5] does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, [6] does not rejoice in [association with] unrighteousness, but rejoices [in association] with the truth; [7] bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

[4] ἡ ἀγάπη μακροθυμεῖ, χρηστεύεται ἡ ἀγάπη, οὐ ζηλοῖ, ἡ ἀγάπη οὐ περπερεύεται, οὐ φυσιοῦται, 5 οὐκ ἀσχημονεῖ, οὐ ζητεῖ τὰ ἑαυτῆς, οὐ παροξύνεται, οὐ λογίζεται τὸ κακόν, 6 οὐ χαίρει ἐπὶ τῇ ἀδικίᾳ, συνχαίρει δὲ τῇ ἀληθείᾳ· 7 πάντα στέγει, πάντα πιστεύει, πάντα ἐλπίζει, πάντα ὑπομένει.

[8] Love never fails; but if there are gifts of prophecy, they will be done away; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is [the temporary gift of advance Bible] knowledge, it will be done away. [9] For we know in part and we prophesy in part; [10] but when the perfect [Head, Canon, Christ's Thinking in writing] comes, the partial [gifts] will be done away. [11] When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things. [12] For now we see [Him] in a mirror dimly, but then [when Canon completed,] face to face; now I know in part, but then [when Canon completed,] I will [be caused to] know [God] fully just as I also have been fully known [by God]. [13] But now faith, hope, love, abide these three; but the [greater] of these is love."

[8] Ἡ ἀγάπη οὐδέποτε πίπτει· εἴτε δὲ προφητεῖαι, καταργηθήσονται· εἴτε γλῶσσαι, παύσονται· εἴτε γνῶσις, καταργηθήσεται. [9] ἐκ μέρους γὰρ γινώσκομεν καὶ ἐκ μέρους προφητεύομεν· [10] ὅταν δὲ ἔλθῃ τὸ τέλειον, τὸ ἐκ μέρους καταργηθήσεται. [11] ὅτε ἤμην νήπιος, ἐλάλουν ὡς νήπιος, ἐφρόνουν ὡς νήπιος, ἐλογιζόμην ὡς νήπιος· ὅτε γέγονα ἀνήρ, κατήργηκα τὰ τοῦ νηπίου. [12] βλέπομεν γὰρ ἄρτι δι᾽ ἐσόπτρου ἐν αἰνίγματι, τότε δὲ πρόσωπον πρὸς πρόσωπον· ἄρτι γινώσκω ἐκ μέρους, τότε δὲ ἐπιγνώσομαι καθὼς καὶ ἐπεγνώσθην. [13] νυνὶ δὲ μένει πίστις, ἐλπίς, ἀγάπη, τὰ τρία ταῦτα· μείζων δὲ τούτων ἡ ἀγάπη.

Beginning in 1997, my pastor started to vastly revise his teaching about this composite nature of God's Integrity. From what I can tell, no one has taught so comprehensively about His Integrity, since Paul's statement, above. But from Bible you can easily prove all this, once you know that nearly every word "love" in translation, only ever means "Divine Love" in the original. His Word is Love, just as Paul was given to write, here. Not an emotion, but a thinking: Christ's. 1 Corinthians 1:5,10 is Paul's theme, His Head coming into our heads. But the translations cut His Head off, and just leave our own. So you don't see the threaded wit throughout the epistle; culminating, in the fabulous "ὑπερβολή" (surpassing, Head atop Body) in 1 Corinthians 12:31, so you don't know that Paul is talking about 'Canon = Christ's Thinking', so His head being in all the Body, is the developmental goal for Church. Ephesians is on the same topic, and Colossians is (in part) a shorter amalgamation of both books' principles.

So all of the webpages have 'threads' on This Core of God's Innermost Nature, for it is the First Foundational Thing To Know About God. It's also the main purpose of all pages, to see God Himself better:

For the purpose of the Decree, is to fully express, Each Member to the Other, this prostration-Love character; which Love, is the exercise (not surrender!) of Sovereignty:

3-way Gifting
  1. Hence to solve the Infinity-finity dichotomy, God's Love Authorizes and Wholly Provides a cycling Solution; thus His Character is built inside the finite being; this is the Essence of God's Plan, so to make sons at His Own Level of existence. Think of it as a transmutation (Romans 12:2, Greek). Your 'soul DNA', your own thinking, being transmuted into God's DNA, AKA "DDNA". Thus far, I can't find anything written on the internet which properly recognizes: 1) this dichotomy, and/or 2) its solution, and/or 3) the fact that Isaiah 52:14-54:1 explains the solution. (My pastor's teaching on Love is the Integrity of God clued me into the circling/cycling nature of God's Solution.)
Love is the genitive integrity of God

So how utterly surprising, that Christianity limits the question of our relationship to Him so childishly; it narrowly focuses on behavior and sin, when Romans 3:23 plainly tells you there's a far bigger issue: "all have... come short of the Glory of God". We're not infinite, and that's a problem, even were we perfect. Not fair that God should have morons for companionship. Sin only complicates the problem, but finity is the source of it. Yet we don't analyze this problem?

Yes, God really makes sons as good as He is, and as big as He is. Both. Not just one or the other. He is holy. So will not tolerate lesser-than's in Nature. He can do it apart from our consent, but He only wants to do it with our consent. For, Love is the Integrity of God, and Love never coerces! It's not hyperbole, 2 Corinthians 5:21. Look: God being Omnipotent, can't He just instantly create you, and make you whatever He wants? Of course. So why would He settle for you being less than Him? He doesn't have to settle for that, because of the Cross. What Father did to Christ, was make even Him, Big Enough For God -- even in Christ's Own Humanity (Hebrews 1:3b-4, Greek; elaborated on, in Hebrews 2). Christ was already big enough as God; but Humanity, however perfect, is finite. So Christ's Own Humanity had to be grown into "The Way, the Truth and the Life" -- to be Big Enough For Total Rapport. Isaiah 53:10-12 says all this.

Yeah, and there's nothing on the internet about this most important fact that Infinity is Qualitative, and means thought. So it replicates without mass. So it doesn't 'diminish' God to replicate Himself, because Infinity is non-spatial (quality, not quantity). Hence to "make sons", God need merely put His Thinking inside the being, for the compatibility to exist. The being's finiteness then is not a hindrance, but rather is the other end of the nature of infinity, the "ταπεινόω" (going-low, Philippians 2:8). The only Bible translation I saw which got Philippians 2:7's κενόω (ἐκένωσεν) right was surprisingly the "BFC", Bible en français courant. French term there is renoncé, renounce/divest yourself of rights you have. There, "κενόω" does not mean "emptied" there, for crying out loud -- how would God 'empty' Himself! 🤣 By the way: some of the German and Italian versions' idioms might be right too -- I'm not sure.

So while finity itself is never compatible, the Infinite Thought Quality Residing Inside finity, Makes it Compatible; with the result that the 'shell' of finiteness, is no longer a barrier. This is what happened to Christ. This is what God can do to us as well. The problem from God's end is not 'can' He do it, but is it Juridically Valid? For Love loves Justice. No matter what it costs. Here, it's juridically valid only if a) the payment for all that ἀδικία is made, which Christ is grown Big Enough to do (see Philippians 2:5-10). And b), if the Big-Enough results, are poured into us, Romans 5:5, 1 Corinthians 1:5, 1 Corinthians 1:10, 1 Corinthians 12:31 - 1 Corinthians 13:12, Ephesians 3:15-21. Which is therefore His purpose, Ephesians 1:15-21. Now you know why God-Father made the contract of (what we know as) Isaiah 53:10-12 with God-Son, "If you will Give Your Soul as a Substitute for Sin". Which God-Spirit breathed into His Humanity successfully during the First Advent; and then, into us. Infinite Quality, inviolate! Which further makes suddenly clear why we must be Indwelt and Filled: can't run Infinite Quality, without Infinite Quality buffering and Infinite-Quality Operator. See, the spiritual life is a being, not a doing; a being in The Being, ὁ ὢν, Exodus 3:14 (LXX): The Great I Am, Who became Man also and tabernacled among us, John 1. Ὑπόστασις!

That's why you have all those many "sons" passages and allusions all over the Old Testament and New Testament. That's why the big deal was for Abraham to sacrifice his son -- first by waiting till he was age 100 to even have a son, and then by going to Mt. Moriah to slay him, 20+ years later -- Sacrifice His Son! His Son: not someone else or something else. Note that precedence well: Propagation of sons first depends on the First Son Being Sacrificed. Because, that's the Prototype Soul. Soul-to-soul ὑπογραμμός (copying, Petrine term). So for Him, that's a going-low. So, it becomes Reproductive Process, as Isaiah (and later New Testament authors via LXX) deftly describes using the five (amalgamated) infinitives Isaiah 53:10-11; which process, was promised really since Genesis 3:15, but baldly in Psalms 139:17, Jeremiah 31:31-34 (which Hebrews 8:8 - Hebrews 10:17 explains). Just as Israel was reproduced from Isaac, the son of the Promise; and He did it, long after Abraham's almost-sacrifice. Isaac was in his 20's back then. He didn't marry until he was 40, and he had no kids even then, until he was 60; and even then, only had two, of which only one, carried on the promise: Jacob. It's always and only about faith, in God's jurisprudence, see Romans 9. By God, Israel was reproduced, Isaiah 63:16 -- really cute wordplay on both Abram's name and the Father's future fathering of His Son, YH 'becoming' (the WH). So too, we are reproduced from Christ. What Divine Genius! God, the Ultimate Sirer!

Why does this going-low, work? The going-low Opens, Increases soul capacity. If you've ever sustained a long period of suffering and finally came to accept it, you probably also realize that what you once considered important, you now disregard. Why? You grew bigger. You don't play with toy soldiers or dolls anymore, and you don't play with immature values, when your soul outgrows them. Many people have immature values, so even when age 80, they are only age 5. True maturation is maturation in values; followed by, maturation in the structural integrity, to keep to those values. Here, we're looking at the Infinite Values and the Holy Spirit's power to reproduce and Hold Together, the believer thus grown.

When grown, you no longer need goodies to motivate obedience. Sure, you'll always be temptable down here; but you outgrow the idea that you should get goodies; instead, You want to obey 'just because'. Just because He's God, for example. So, it's pure. Absolute Righteousness has two facets, not just one. First facet, demand for Righteousness to be absolutely met. But second facet, demand that no Righteousness also be met. For righteousness isn't righteousness, if it can't withstand all unrighteousness. Hence the KJV of Ephesians 6:13, "having done all, to stand." Hence the Lord's statement to John the Baptist, "We must fulfill all Righteousness." all facets. Not just the first one. So, that Romans 5:5 filling-up-with Truth (ties to Romans 8:4) increases the capacity of the soul to withstand. Hence the soul gets bigger: you have to become something you were not; all the works in the world can't even begin to accomplish soul growth. All suffering in life is designed to open and increase soul capacity. It's the "depth" dimension of the building (of soul) Paul talks about, in Ephesians 3:15-21 (there are many parallel passages in Bible, too). "1st Aspect Summary" portrays the dimensions of your transformation: what you become under the Hebrews 4:12 Surgeon's 'knife' of Your Mentor, the Holy Spirit, in God's System.

  1. Consequently, to solve the Finity dichotomy for Himself and for us, to set up the cycling System, His Thinking "blood" paid for our sins on the Cross; Not, His Physical death. Really surprising, that people don't know this: thinking is metaphorically depicted as "blood" throughout the Bible. That's why the animal bled to death, to depict the Soul Pouring Out to Death (refrain in Isaiah 52:1-12, emphasized in Isaiah 52:12). I could hardly believe my eyes, that only one or two pastors even teach the fact His Thinking paid for sins; that 90%+ insist that His Physical Death paid for sins. It's a juridical mismatch! Body doesn't sin, the soul is what sins: body is just a bucket of biology, obeying its soul-master. Thinking alone defiles (refrain of the Lord's in the Gospels). Bible gives you the blow-by-blow story of it, in Isaiah 52:14-54:1: Translated Bibles fuzz over and do not translate all the God-breathed text (partly because the inspired original is very violent and graphic). Isaiah 52-53 proves that developing His Thinking was Father's purpose (Isaiah 52:13, compare with 53:11); that Thinking was what paid for sins (Isaiah 53:10-11); and that Thinking is to be developed in us (Isaiah 53:10-12). So, all websites carry the thesis that the spiritual life of Christ is His legacy for us. So the true spiritual life is a Thinking, not a doing. Moreover, the false idea that He died for our sins physically, is covered in: The True Grail... has Enemies.

One big reason that we believers are so clueless about Cross mechanics, is that we don't study Bible. So we don't know that christ died twice: first a kind of substitutionary (not real) 'spiritual' death, to 'match' Adam's two deaths -- Adam really died spiritually, and as a consequence died physically. So Christ reverses the process: as a substitute for us (Romans 5:8, 2 Corinthians 5:21), He is imputed with sin, which thus replicates the effect but not the nature of spiritual death. So it's worse, in that Christ is still spiritually alive, so experiences it, "knows" sin. (By contrast Adam just went wacko, as Genesis 3 reveals. He didn't understand anything afterwards.)

We don't know this because the Bible is mistranslated in all the key verses where this duality of deaths is located. Here are a trio of videos in Youtube on the topic, showing how the mistranslation masks the vital proof of how He paid for sins:

Want more detail? I go through all the verses which use the same terms. Watch Genesis of the Dingbats, to see the many hayyim and then muth-tamoth verses.

Of course, the Bible doesn't matter to Christendom. Isaiah 53:10-11 is quite explicit in the Hebrew. All sins are to be paid for, Hebrew 'asham' in Isaiah 53:10, that's the contract. And all sins were paid for by His Thinking, bedato yatsdiq in the Hebrew of Isaiah 53:11. Note that well: it doesn't say, 'b'damo', by his physical blood, but "bedato", by His mastery of truth knowledge. Duh, you have to be alive and thus thinking, to use your mastery of truth knowledge, huh.

The blasphemous stupidity of 'respectable' Christianity never ceases to amaze me. Of course, that's why Christendom doesn't even know when Christ was born, when He died from the Bible. And the Catholics, can't even count to three! Oh well.

  1. So what happened to Him, is to happen to us, since we are Royal Family of God in Him: Bride: refer to both DDNA and the Lord vs. Satan. The more-Bible-familiar vocabulary of Lord vs. Satan Part 3, helps you see better the basis for this spiritual growth opening God creates.

We just saw from #4, how opening His Soul on the Cross to the deepest depth -- the imputation and judgement of our sins -- made Christ Big Enough. With the result that, He is the "Firstborn of Creation" (title used in Hebrews and elsewhere). So, He is The Progenitor, Hebrews 12:1-2 (fulfilling Isaiah 52:13,15, Isaiah 53:8, Isaiah 53:10-12, Isaiah 54:1, and Isaiah 55:1-6, and all of Hebrews 4). So, since most Christians will not go through the Spiritual Life legated from our Progenitor (not 'doing' Hebrews 4:12, Hebrews 11:1, Hebrews 12:1), but some will; those who do, will also become progenitors: Bible term for them is "Πλήρωμα" (i.e., in Ephesians 3:19, but it's a keyword throughout the New Testament). These are the "kings" under the King of Kings (i.e., Revelation 1:6, 5:10, a fact long known, since it was sarcastically used by Paul in 1 Corinthians 4:8-9). [Central thesis in my pastor's teaching is about "Πλήρωμα", so if you're under him, you might want to focus on those lessons.] So these "Πλήρωμα" people are reproductive, too. Some of that reproductiveness occurs down here, but the bulk of it occurs in the eternal state: the immaturely-spiritual who died, will be in those kingdoms, and will grow from the thinking of those kings. So Father gets ever-more "sweet savor" of His Son's Thinking, in aggregate. To see this fact as both the goal and a contract, read DDNA4.htm; note that "the great ones" in Isaiah 53:12 are apportioned "the many" by the Lord who inherited all (53:12 is mistranslated in every Bible I could find and read in BibleWorks).

Webpage sections which concentrate most on the Eternal Progenitor-Progeny System, are:

Notice the Genius of God: it matters not at all what you or others seem to be in relation to people! Just like Paul says in Galatians 3:26, you are just as much a "adult son of God in Christ Jesus." ("υἱούς" is adult son, meaning eligible for heirship; it should have been translated that way.) God is out to remake your soul's thought structure and values, which is exactly the way DNA works: for DNA is an Instruction Set, telling your cells how to be. So by consenting to God's Instruction Set, you get DDNA, which tells your thoughts how to be. Spirit said, "Light, be!" in Genesis 1:3. So that's what He says every time you consent to His Remaking You with God's 'DNA'. Line on line, precept on precept. So it matters not at all what you do, but what you think. Not at all, what your occupation, societal status, religion, culture, sex, etc. You can be in a wheelchair, or running the world, doesn't matter. For this world is not God's World, but Satan's, John 18:36. So all one does in it, will be burnt up, second half of 2 Peter. So get the training in the DDNA thinking, and that's what makes you Πλήρωμα. So you can run a Kingdom in God's Eternal World. Forever.

Side tangent: My pastor has taught for years (!) that the spiritual life is only, learning the Royal Thinking of Christ, 2 Peter 3:18. He began harping on this Royal Role, way back in 1977, when exegeting Romans verse-by-verse. But from 1992 onward, that was the sole theme. So if you're under my pastor, you might want get his "1992 Spiritual Dynamics" lessons (about 12 years long, one hour per day); since they focus on the mechanics of this 24/7 thinking process. You'll see how he comes to realize it's all about the development of what he eventually calls, "Love is the Integrity of God!", May 7 2000 tape. I heard that lesson four years later, after writing these webpages; but the pages in essence derived the same conclusion from earlier in the series (the 1997+ section, circa Lesson 800 and following). Using BibleWorks, I was able to confirm in Bible that finity is the problem (which is why we can't do anything to be saved); how God solves it on the Cross (i.e., that Isaiah passage). How thus we get the same spiritual life -- which brings us full circle back to what he'd been teaching since 1977, though expressed from other Bible passages.

  1. The world is only blessed through believers, so if the believers aren't growing up in Christ, the world is cursed; unbelievers have no juridical standing, since they reject God; so they are not to blame for what goes wrong in the world, either. This Blessing by Association exponentially upgraded due to the Session, for Church: for she is the (Representative) Body of Christ. Again, since this world is Satan's, God has nothing to do with it. So any cursing or blessing it gets from God, only is due to what's related to God, Luke 20:25: believers, Acts 27:24. For the root relationship between God and the unbeliever, is the unbeliever rejects God's Rights: since God made the soul at birth (I made you outside the womb verses, always egregiously mistranslated, like Isaiah 44:2). At the 'birth' of Adam's sin, God separated Himself, and instead imposed the procreative process on the woman, Genesis 3:16; which is why there is no soul in a womb, Genesis 3:22 (witty use of the preposition מִן (min) in that always-mistranslated verse). But since God must alone decide whether to create a soul at birth, then there is: a) a juridical connection God must rule on, and b) a condemnation which is thus immediately eligible for salvation, since Christ paid for Adam's sin, which we biologically inherited (in the body which exited the womb). So if God then creates and imputes a soul, that soul should acknowledge God as the True Parent. For only God can make a soul. Acknowledgement is Hebrews 11:6 expressed first as John 3:16. But the unbeliever hasn't done that. So he can only get punishment warning, principle of John 3:36; the Tribulation thus can only occur if there are no believers initially on earth, since at that point the unbelievers are so negative, they need that dire a series of warnings, John 3:36 writ large.

At some vague level Christians commonly know they are the source of blessing to the world. But how that blessing works and what it is based on, they often blasphemously apprehend as works; but "salt" is Word in you, never works, principle of Hosea 4:6 and elsewhere. More than anyone else I can yet find, my pastor taught in detail the how and what for decades; but (confession time!) I still didn't see how it worked. Oh but now, I do. So, I try to explain it. What's surprising: Christendom never grasped the True Nature and Function of Our Royal Priesthood for Father as a completely separate and new priesthood: totally the reverse, of what obtained in the Old Testament. Moreover, Christendom doesn't grasp how this Blessing is especially needed, since the human race is embroiled within the Angelic Appeal Divorce "riv" Trial. Book of Hebrews takes great pains to explain this changeover; tons of Trial vocabulary and explanation run throughout the Old Testament; but can you find any understanding of it in Christendom? You just try. Snippets exist, nothing comprehensive.

The Laodiceans were under indictment by the Lord because they were saltless believers; which is isagogically witty, since their location was famous as a place you went to party and vomit (so you could party again, faster). They had lots of respectability and works, but no Word. So they considered themselves good and rich, but were bad, blind-of-Word and poor. That's the indictment of Christendom, ever since. We preen over our works, but wouldn't know the Word if it bit us. No wonder there's historically been so much cursing by association with us -- for we ever choose Revelation 17, Satan's plan. Lots to answer for, at the Bema.

Revelation 3:15-16

I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot: if only (!) you were cold or hot. So then because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit 🤮 you out of my mouth.

οἶδά σου τὰ ἔργα, ὅτι οὔτε ψυχρὸς εἶ οὔτε ζεστός. ὄφελον ψυχρὸς ἦς ἢ ζεστός. 16 οὕτως, ὅτι χλιαρὸς εἶ καὶ οὔτε ζεστὸς οὔτε ψυχρός, μέλλω σε ἐμέσαι ἐκ τοῦ στόματός μου.

The Lord vs. Satan is focused on this intertwined topic of Our Priesthood and the Role of Our Blessing By Association, under the 'play' of the Angelic Appeal Trial; that was my main accounting analysis goal, to see the intertwined 'play'; start with Part 1 if you wish to trace it. It's better to first orient to the legal issues via the shorter synopsis in "Our Diplomatic Brief".

It shouldn't have to be said that all the noble works on the planet, don't add a minute to Time. But learning God in God's System, does. Why? Because God grants that: learning Him is a privilege, not a work. He wants it, so He blesses the world as a consequence. The math of His Granting Time can't lie, doesn't have a sales agenda, couldn't care less if you agree or not, doesn't need human approbation. Math is auditable.

Other categories of Divine blessings God grants due solely to believers learning Him on earth (and post-mortem) are summarized in:

However, you may have to start with Lord vs. Satan Part 4a to see the threaded Precedence and the Bridal Contract, etc. On which all these Blessings (and Satan's counters) are predicated. Lots of reading, here: will take a good month to even read, let alone vet. (Part 4 took me about four years to write.)

This entire doctrine of blessing has been missed in Christendom. We've traditionally accounted blessing to come from the 'obedience' we think we do, shallowly defining that as our behavioral obedience, whether we ascribe to popular "respectable" creeds (never mind how much real Bible disagrees with them), whether we are moral. Big lie. So the truth has been that those who learned God were the cause, from Adam's fall, forward. Obviously if you learn God and live before Him, you're not gonna want to be immoral. But you're living for a higher reason: Him. God told Abram to leave his father, Genesis 12. To many Christians, that would be immoral. So there's something higher than what we account morality, wanting God for Himself. We don't. So the world gets cursed, because we don't.

Morality is for the human race, and anyone who obeys moral laws is blessed, secularly. But the big blessings like Time, weather, competence, and other stuff only God can do -- comes solely via believers learning Him, and even if only one on the planet is doing that, the world benefits. So every individual thus counts. But not, because he's behaving properly. That's the lie Satan sells, that pious behavior is spirituality, stressing morality, since Satan wants all the good works he can get. Thus deceived, you hustle, so you don't learn God but instead bustle in the good deeds just like Satan tempted the Lord to do, in Matthew 4.

So now you know why no good deed goes unpunished. God-deeds, not good deeds, is what God wants. Again, Thinking series goes through this in detail, as the works myth is a main obstacle to Christian understanding of the spiritual life; which myth has to be accounted for and refuted, before one can see what real spirituality means. The world depends on Christians living the real spiritual life, not works.

  1. You're only a Believer and saved from hell, if you have ever once Believed only in Christ for salvation, no other verbs, John 3:16. So if you've never done that before (or aren't sure), do it now.

This shouldn't even be a thesis: how can alleged 'Christians' be so unable to read John 3:16? For surprisingly, not even 10% of Christian websites tell you the true Gospel; but instead, they add verbs to believe and totally muck up what Christ says (which all Bible has said since Genesis 3:15, i.e., in Genesis 15:6); thus all their satanic gospels, save no one. That is totally shocking. What, are they not saved? Moreover, even among those who get it that John 3:16 is the only way to get saved -- who realizes the nature of the problem, Romans 3:23? Two-pronged problem, and it's not about sin, John 16:9. So who recognizes that we have a medical and legal problem, so we can't heal ourselves. Hence John 3:16, not works. Hence only "believe", works. Not "invite", not "repent", not "baptize", not "receive", not "accept". One verb: believe.

Of course, some Bible verses on "how to be saved" are mistranslated, like Romans 10:10: the verse should end "because of salvation" or similar phrase.

Of course, obviously adulterated some verses, like Mark 16:18-20, are some later scribe's invention. Those who want works cling to such verses with all their heart. But Bible is consistent: it's only believe, from Genesis to Revelation. See Genesis 15:6 even in translation: it's an accounting transaction, echoed in Isaiah 53:10-12, 2 Corinthians 5:21, Romans 4 (whole chapter), Galatians (whole book), Ephesians 1:13, etc.

But then, if 1 John 1:9 isn't used or the person isn't even saved because he added other verbs to "believe", well -- then he can't even read the Bible. Here's a quick summary: if you add to "believe", then "believe" is not enough, so you are negating "believe". Here's a great analogy. You've probably been hit with popup ads which flash, saying oh, you win! You get this free computer! Click here to give us your name, etc., so we can send it to you! Yeah, and when you do that, what happens? You scroll and scroll through all these useless things you must first buy, to even get to the screen where you can register your name! So to get that computer, you had to pay something. So then it's not free! Even so, salvation cannot be encumbered by popup ads religion sells. Salvation Really Is For Free, and Only For Free, which is why it's only "believe". No additive verbs, no popups, just All-SuperNatural God, John 3:16! It's one of the only things in the world that is truly free. A gift, not a loan.

For the last seven years I've been trying to understand why Christians add verbs to believe, in their false gospels. It's been going on for centuries, and it is rampant today. So who among us "Christians", is really saved? You can hardly find a pastor or evangelist for the past 50 years who gets the Gospel right, even the really famous ones (who I'll not name, it's too embarrassing). Every Sunday class and during many of the weekday classes for gotta be decades, my pastor harped on the problem of the Gospel being misrepresented, so that people don't get saved. I resented all that repetition. I was dead wrong to resent it. It's a consummate shock to see how people lauded as spiritual giants over the past 50 years, do not give the correct Gospel. So it's worth your time to investigate the matter. People you know and love, might not be saved! People you don't know, people you hate even, might not be saved! No sane person wants any other human to be burning in hell. But we Christians are to blame for misrepresenting the Gospel, so those people will burn due to our lies! It's not tolerable!

Why this problem of added verbs, thus negating the Gospel so no one is saved by doing them? From what I can tell, since believers don't use 1 John 1:9, they don't realize that the verbs they add, are verbs only a believer can do (i.e., you can't confess with your mouth you believed in Christ unless you already did it). So that's the heart of the confusion. They look at verses which have other verbs, or believe and other verbs, and don't recognize that all those added verbs are after "believe" in the syntax of the sentence, or in the near context. Basic grammar of any language, eludes them. Basic grammar: if one verb is used in a sentence and the verse of that one sentence says you're saved by 'doing' that verb, that verb alone is enough. Hence John 3:16, like Genesis 15:6, and many other Bible verses only list "believe". So it's the "believe" which God has ordained to be the denominative verb saving you. The other verbs in a sentence are extra, results of "believe". Is that clear enough? This grammar rule is true in any language, and especially in Bible.

Logic eludes them, too. The "accept" and "invite" false-gospel people don't realize that you'll not invite anyone you don't first believe in, so it's not the "invite" that saved, but the "believe" which preceded. The "repent" people don't realize that you won't repent anything until you first believe, so again, the "believe" preceded. Pick any other verb and it's the same story, the "believe" has to precede logically, or that other verb, won't happen. So when these adding-verbs people read Bible verses with these other verbs, they read the verses ass-backwards. So it's not a Greek-geek thing, but sheer stupidity. Good news is this: only believers can be this stupid. An unbeliever is likely more logical. So likely all of these dufuses adding verbs to believe, are themselves saved, since they are unable to read basic grammar and are illogical. Satanic clouding of believers is Satan's #1 goal. It shows. The other good news: the Holy Spirit only transmits the correct Gospel, so there are people saved despite false gospels being given, since they won't 'hear' the false parts, but only the true verb, "believe". Whew. If you think back on your own initial faith in Christ (assuming you remember that event), you'll probably remember that "believe" was the burning issue for you, nothing else. I remember that, others I know do also. Yeah, because the Holy Spirit makes "believe" the issue, John 16:9.

  1. Even as it's just believe to be saved, it's just the word to be lived. Matthew 4:4, John 4:23-24 make this plain. The Original Word, not a translation. Because just as you didn't add anything to "believe" to be saved, you don't add anything to God's Word, to grow up spiritually. God is Consistent: no additives, ever. No other verbs save you but that first "Believe". No other word develops you but the Word God Wrote. So we have a Word in Writing; God preserved the very words of the authors He empowered. Not, any translation. Caveat #2 explains why, as does the Lord vs. Satan and DDNA. There's no reason not to know this, for even apostate Judaism stresses Torah in the head. They just don't have it in the head, but imagine they do. No way not to get the message that thinking Word is the only spiritual life. For thought is what you are. So thinking God's Thoughts is the only way to be with God. God, not people. But we don't see that, anymore than the Jews do. So:

Every night on the news and every day in people's mouths, you'll find some valuable nuggets, but also a whole lotta junk. So yeah, you can only 'ingest' such thought, constantly culling through the junk, eating far more than you should: yet after consumption, always feeling vaguely dissatisfied. But it's far more efficient and nutritious, to have as little of that junk consuming your brain, as possible. So yeah, you can learn something of God's Word in translation; if using 1 John 1:9, you can even learn a lot. But to really see the whole picture, you need the Whole Word, which has no junk in it. Lots of scribes tried to junk it up, but God foreknew all that. So, we have numerous copies preserved by God over the centuries along with the poetic metering itself. Some, in weird ways. Seriously, the story of how we got our Bible is more suspenseful and interesting than your favorite movie thriller. Try Christopher de Hamel's "The Book: A History of the Bible", sometime.

Since the Holy Spirit empowers you via 1 John 1:9, you can't claim that learning this Word in a language not your own, is "elitist". It's a supernatural power, the spiritual life. Always was, still is. So now, it's level playing field. Your human smarts are of no value. Your desire to learn Bible is all that matters. The Holy Spirit takes that consent and makes you able to learn, even as He made you saved when you merely believed in Christ. Your power to believe didn't contribute anything; it was a consent. So it is, ever afterwards. God is consistent, no one is left out of His Plan. And His Plan, is to teach you the Bible He commissioned. Not a translation. No matter what your 'IQ', you lost your brains when you first believed, and can only live on His Brains, now.

We have this Word in pieces, called "MSS (manuscripts)" in theology; granted, over the millennia some over-zealous scribes thought they'd 'help' God by putting in their own ideas, adulterating (or miscopying) the texts. But because we have so many pieces and the poetic metering, we can tell where the adulterations and errors are. While corrections could still technically be done with only a few 'nice copies' and solely the poetic meter, it would hamper the Streisand effect, because the demons unintentionally bring focus to important things they want to hide, right. One of the hallmarks of "demon works" (and to a lesser extent, human works), what we attempt to achieve with works always backfires, hence only God's works, work. These many texts, then, are preserved in the most remarkable way, allowing full counterfeit detecting (AKA "the science of textual criticism"). Every text has errors somewhere; yet among all the texts on that set of verses, will always be one without errors! Hence, the Bible is in aggregate, "infallible and inerrant". It's totally amazing. Blows me away, baby. The cause of this infallibility and inerrancy, has a name in theology: "Verbal Plenary Inspiration".

The errors are really important, dating assistance of the text (although once again, the Poetic Meter precisely dates everything), the problem people had with the text, and a whole host of other useful clues for interpretation, isagogics, etc. For example, some fool got it into his head that the LXX of Genesis 5 ought to 'match' an old Babylonian roster of kings which was also based on the Genesis 5 heroes, and was still extant at the time the LXX was compiled. So, the fool tried to change the LXX, basically adding 100 years to the begetting age, but then backing out the 100 years to derive the same dying age. Poor guy, he got tired doing that, and before the roster ended, he just flat gave up trying to make it 'balance'. I do some accounting for a living, so I can really identify with the guy's exhaustion; can't you? So you learn much by the errors in the text, even as you learn much about God's Faithful Preservation of The Word He Means Us to Learn.

So it's only the Word, and only in the original language texts, God intends for you to learn; translations are adjunctively quite helpful. But they aren't your main course -- unless you wanna pig out on that junk food and yet stay hungry. So God went to a whole lotta trouble to preserve the original words of the authors He Himself Empowered. So the "tongues" He wants to empower you to read and understand, are the ones He preserved in those texts. So to see Him better. No additives, no fillers: for nothing shall separate you from the Love of God in Christ Jesus, end Romans 8. So the words Paul really wrote in the first century, are the same exact words you yourself can read. From God's 'lips' to Paul's, and from Paul's via that Same God, to yours. No additives, pure nutrition, and -- far more tasty than any translation! The translations are snoozy, not merely inaccurate. Sheesh: God must be made boring, to be majestic? That's sure not His Style, whoa: the original language texts are delicious beyond description. Leave it up to God, to demand that Righteousness be tasty!

God never has you make bricks without straw. But you're electing to make bricks without straw -- so your whole life will fall apart -- if you learn Bible only in translation. Count on it: virtually every Christian whose "lost faith" in the Bible, lost it because he stuck to translations (atheists often point out and use these translation errors or additions for proving their side). Every Bible documentary I've ever seen that's wrong (all of them), uses translations (some pretend to use the original text, but you can tell they don't). Every teaching that's wrong, is based on translations (all of them, but some others don't read the original text pan-Bible, either). Translations provably malign God, and with a deftness that is superhuman; so, they are internally contradictory. Egregiously so. Again: this is provable, if you're willing to do the legwork. It's not hard to see: it is, however, time-consuming.

All of my webpages demonstrate the extreme loss of enjoyment as well as understanding, that results from using Bible translations. In Corrected Bible Translations, you'll find passages which illustrate how bad translation, literally wrecks what you think the Bible says. But frankly, every webpage must cover mistranslated verses, to further whatever explanation the page is advancing. Ideally you get under a pastor who teaches you Bible in the original language texts, so you wouldn't need outside exegesis pages. But I have to create them, since most people reading these pages are only familiar with translations, so what I say Bible says, won't make sense to them if I don't provide corrected translations. Hence every webpage must spend some space on correcting the published Bible translations.

The damage resulting from only reading translations or not properly reading the Bible in the original language texts is devastating, and makes Christianity look bad. For that reason, we don't know Christ's Birth and Death dates, which the original language texts of Bible, disclose; we don't know how Passion Week transpired, though again the Greek tells you it took four days between Arrest and Crucifixion, which was on a Wednesday, no doubt about it. You can't find a Bible movie or documentary which recognizes it took four days. They all treat Him as being crucified within 24 hours or so of His Arrest. Bible doesn't say that. We don't read it. We don't care! We humans get pretty upset if someone who claims to love us, doesn't remember our birthdate; if someone doesn't know a loved-one's death date. But do we care about the Lord's? Not at all. Bible is plain, we don't read it. So of course we don't know the Exodus date, though Bible is plain; we don't know David's birth and death years, we don't know when the Temple was dedicated, when it was rebuilt, etc. -- all of these dates are in the Bible, but we don't use it to know the answers. We go elsewhere (i.e., David's death date is based on Josephus, not Bible, no excuse for that). So we lose faith, because we can't prove "when" a Bible event happened. Yeah, well, if you won't read the Bible, you can't prove it true! Sorry, there's no excuse for all this bad scholarship on Bible dates in Christendom.

Again, you have this Mentor, the Holy Spirit, Who is the Only One Who Breathes Divine Writ; into the writers, into the teachers, into your soul. But not, into intermediaries. There is no valid 'horizontal' relationship in life: it's all Vertical, First Commandment. Any lateral relationships are designed to only go through Him. Bypass the Vertical, and your laterals all go crash and burn! Just like in Genesis 3, when Adam picked his wife over God. Period. So it's only His Power. Nothing between the Word and Him, Him and you, Hebrews 12:2. God has to gift the teacher, and He has to empower the teacher, so even a teacher is only valid because God uses him to link understanding in you. And that, only if the teacher is learning from God, himself. So no intermediaries, really. So all translations are defective, however much we'd try to make them better, it's impossible to replicate the Infallible, Inerrant Word God Preserved. For we're really supposed to be learning the Preserved Word, not a translation. So to not learn that Word God went to so much trouble to preserve and empower learning, means one doesn't want God.

  1. Our Spiritual life is thus learning His Thinking, not works. Upgraded to Christ's Own Royal Level. Because, we are to be a Kingdom of Priests, Under Him to father. Again, it totally baffles me that Christianity doesn't 'get it' about why we are here post-salvation. Kings Must Be Trained. You're not born competent at Kingly Thinking. Kings think for a living; their job is 24/7, not 9-5. It's hard to learn how to properly think; and you'll never make much valid money in life, unless you learn how to think. Body stuff is not worth much even in this world, which is why a CEO gets megabucks, but a hamburger-flipper, only a few. So body stuff is positively worthless, in the spiritual life -- the body can't ever go into eternity, 1 Corinthians 15. That's why Christ Threw His Body Away On The Cross. Can God make it more obvious? Did Christ give money, to save us? Did He do moral works, to save us? No -- He wasn't doing anything while nailed to a Cross. Could barely move, even. So what did He 'do'? Nothing. Instead, He thought thought thought, under maximum pressure to stop Thinking. Hardest thing you'll ever 'do', is think. Especially, thinking God's Thoughts.

We're talking thought gymnastics, here! It's exhausting, a killer life, and if ever you wanted an excuse to disbelieve in Him, here it is. Look: Alertness, awareness, attention, concentration, focus; monitor your thinking for incorrect thoughts so you can use 1 John 1:9, develop an arsenal of 'replies' from Bible you've learned; being enough aware of body 'hits' (stimulation to tempt arrogance, fear, etc) yet not so aware that you obsess or become demoralized; meanwhile, using that Same Bible learning, to engage in all manner of analysis, reading-between-the-lines, insight and matching action to thought -- in everything you think and do! Toward Father our thinking, 24/7. Even doing the dishes or brushing your teeth is tough work, if you have to keep that Thinking going! So much waste, when God can just instantly create it and make it work? Why???

Yet notice: nothing is menial, anymore. So notice: nothing else is 'big', anymore. What once seemed important -- is no longer. All the kingdoms of the world, lose their attraction. For Nothing is Harder Than The Bible's Standard, 2 Corinthians 10:5 "bringing every thought into captivity to Christ." Nothing is richer, either. Once you taste those "true riches", everything else is anticlimactic, and emotion is completely irrelevant. The moniker "Christ" often refers to His Thinking Pattern, i.e., in Galatians 4:19 and Ephesians 3:15-21, Ephesians 4:13. Hardest of all Thinking Patterns to learn. Dense, multifaceted, able to absorb large amounts of input quickly, whew. With the speed of a nascar driver, no less. Able to deflect the most subtle of temptations, Matthew 4. Hardest and most-satisfying life you'll ever live, period. Don't underestimate it?

Other than what my pastor teaches, I can't find but kindergarten-level material by anyone else, whether on the internet, or in print. It's not good to name names. Lots of teachers out there have some idea this is important, and within the last year or so a few have begun focusing on the issue of what we think in our souls; but going by how they phrase the problem, their explanations are mired down in human-human behavior issues, still. They don't get the Priestly Role Of Our Thinking Before Father, yet; and they don't get it, largely because they don't realize that Christ Paid for Sins Using His Thinking, as Isaiah 52:13 - Isaiah 54:1, so obviously explained in the original text. Once they realize that, their teaching will skyrocket in value. Then, of course, their congregations will leave them for a sweetness-and-light guy who yet knows nothing.

When my pastor taught about Integrity being the Love of God, he completed the theology Christendom has missed lo these many centuries. What was his reward? The congregation rejected his teaching, as you can hear him say to them many times in the recorded year 2000 classes. I didn't know that until sometime in 2005; the webpages have the same conclusion about Integrity being the Love of God, but derived from his earlier (1997+) classes, what I call a Love Circle (#3, God's Cycling of Infinity inside Finity, Word in you). So now two corollary conclusions: if it's a Circle, then it's to Cycle in you; so secondly, if it's Cycling in you, it's exhausting, for you are becoming bigger than what you were, analogous to professional-athlete training (Paul's frequent metaphor, i.e., in 1 Corinthians 9:24-27). Well, that explains the rejection. And hence, the lack of teaching on the subject, lo these many centuries.

You can prove all this with but a month's trial: 'do' the Five Elements; for with daily use, you can privately test and see for yourself. No money, no ritual, no gimmicks, no set do's, no denominational slant. If you read nothing use nothing else, read and use that. There really is an underlying spiritual mechanism, and whatever's amiss belief-wise or sin-wise, etc. Can only be fixed by you Becoming Wise In Bible in God's System. For there is only a Vertical Relationship, 24/7. It's about life with God, not people; and life with God has no denomination or religion or even sex or societal barrier, period. For, God made your soul, directly at birth, Genesis 2:7.

Okay, but does it really work? Well, yeah: once upon a time, I couldn't think my way out of a paper bag. Couldn't remember a Bible verse, if you tortured me to try (I have a notoriously bad memory). But now look! I rarely have to look up the citations, anymore, I type these pages at my top typing speed, wearing out my fingers, because the Bible fluency is so fast. It's my fingers, which are too slow. This Bible just runs in my head, 24/7, even when I'm sleeping; and all the kingdoms of the world are worthless, by comparison. True happiness is way beyond emotion. (Emotion is only a body thing, anyway -- a soul doesn't even feel; it lives instead on knowledge.) It's progressive, and for a long time it didn't seem to be working. But do what Paul counsels in Philippians 3:14, and you'll get there. John 14:26 is real. I'm evidence of that. Yet still remain, Ezekiel 16:6, weltering in my blood just as much a doofus as the day I was born. That's the power of Bible in your head, in God's System: He turns the old you into a chrysalis for the new you He Personally Makes with your discrete consents. So you see them live side-by-side, thus can better appreciate what it must have been like for Christ to be God and man -- yikes!

It's never too late to start. "Stand Still, and watch the deliverance of the Lord", Moses told the people while their backs were to the Red (then named "Reed") Sea, as they watched the approaching Dust Storm of Pharaoh Amenhotep II with his chariots. So you can stand still and watch Him skyrocket your spiritual life as you lay on the Hebrews 4:12 operating table, with Mom (the Holy Spirit) as the Attending Physician. Oh: I'm on the next table, beside you.

  1. But the purpose and payoff of the spiritual life is knowing God. Intimately. He's Gorgeous! His Word is Gorgeous! Note that: He is Gorgeous. His Word is Gorgeous. So why settle for less? God doesn't have to settle for less, and neither do you. Not those idiotic always-less dreams, emotion, visions or other slapstick, childish stuff. Oh no. Only Satan & Co. Handle the lesser-thans. God's Standard is better, higher, truly enjoyable, even when hurting. God's about True Intimacy. True Love. He builds His Word in you so you can be in Him, even as He is in you. It's a status quo, a constancy, a Contentment. Even when hurting a lot. It's not a performance thing. It's a Being Together Thing. Kinda hard to describe, but it is not emotional. Best descriptive word? It's an Absolute Rapport. An absolute intimacy. All barriers are down. And it lasts forever. Doesn't matter He's Infinite, Perfect -- and I'm not. Infinite Word is in my puny head: His.

This is God's Plan for everyone. Frankly, if you just do the Five Elements every day, and keep trying to do them (i.e., 1 John 1:9) through ever-bigger parts of your day, you'll see within what -- two to six months -- a dramatic difference in your understanding of God, of Bible, in your prayer life. You'll also be under more attack (next section); you'll therefore have hands-on understanding of what "DDNA" means. So keep it private, this getting into God's System. Certain pursuits within the spiritual life advance you faster or retard your progress more than others, even if you are in God's System: each one of these can be tested as well, absent money-begging and other gimmicks, etc. Succinctly summarized in: Tips To Maximize Your Daily Spiritual Life.

"Love" = Christ's Thinking, in the New Testament. It's a play on words, a metaphor. Hatred is a type of thinking. So too, its opposite -- Love is a type thinking, not an emoting. Emotions can stimulated by doggone near anything, so are absolutely not reliable, as indices of thought. So when you see Bible talk about Love, it means His Thinking the Word. Balder verses on this are in Romans 5:5, whole chapter of 1 Corinthians 13. (1 Corinthians 1:5 talks about His Head being in your head, but the translations, cut His head off and substitute your own, 🤣.) The "surpassing" in 1 Corinthians 12:31 is wordplay (head surpasses the body, very witty).

Knowing God makes you grow up spiritually, but frankly it's the only reason to want to live. So the more you know Him, the harder it is to want to live for anything else, and you'll reach a point where you can only go on living, because you know Him. The problem with spiritual maturation is that your standards rise, so life becomes more intolerable. Only knowing God, compensates. Helps one appreciate the problem of the Cross better.

  1. Miscellaneous theses which some will want to know:

Once again, you can't understand The Spiritual Life's Structure, God's Justice Attribute, or anything about How Christ Paid for Sins on the Cross if you don't know Life Begins At Birth, pattern of Genesis 2:7 (soul created after body formed, duh). The entire structure of Isaiah 53 (which begins at 52:13) is based on the Hebrew preposition "min", which signifies "beyond, outside of, separated from, away from", and it's paired with "womb" (beten or rechem) to show God alone makes you a 'you' at birth. Hundreds of deft references to this fact in the original, dozens in the Isaiah passage alone (because we got birthed due to Christ being made pregnant with sin, an obvious death).

Caveat #4: No Soul Life is ever in any womb & No Soul Life in the Womb + Prolife Blasphemy covers the overview (focusing on God's Justice as the reason why no soul life is ever in a womb); regarding the categorization of verses showing all that, including an exposé of the mistranslation of Psalms 139:11-17 (which prolifers abuse absent homework).

As you'll see in the Prolife Blasphemy video, the prolife stance essentially claims God Himself is a murderer and a sadist, when you remember that spontaneous abortion is frequent (so no human caused it); when you think with horror over how those body parts developing, would then 'feel' to a 'soul'. When children are teething, that's painful enough; when you undergo surgery, that's painful enough: so how arrogant, to claim God would be sadistic enough to put a soul in a womb? And you just know, not one prolifer ever born with a soul (all of them), would ever mean to call God a sadist. So the joke's on them; Satan & Co. Are having a gay ol' time. All because they could reverse Bible's "womb" verses in translation. About 340 of them. I've no time to go through all that. Search on "womb" in English, then compare the prepositions in the original languages. Bible always says out from (Hebrews prep min, Greek prep ἐκ), which means from outside, never from inside; but only in "womb" verses, is the preposition reversed in translation. That's not an accident, sorry; not too sure Satan & Co. Are really to blame, here -- looks more like a political spin humans keep perpetuating. A lot more womb verses are in the original languages than you'll find translated in English, too. So those verses are just flat obliterated in translation, i.e., "me amal" in Isaiah 53:11's Hebrew.

Now, there's an important reason for all this reversing derision. You miss what God really says, and what He says in these verses, is quite vital to your spiritual growth. For example, in Psalms 139:11-17, David's exclaiming on how He gets to be birthed to hear God's thinking (Psalm 139:17 is climactic), and is totally amazed God would even bother to birth him. But if you're busy using the passage to prove life is in the womb, you don't get the point of Psalm 139:17. So you don't know the purpose of being alive, either.

I'm not pro- or anti-abortion, and am adopted, so I don't care for either side in this utterly pagan, unholy, fake-Christian debate over life-in-womb; God says leave Caesar out of it, in Exodus 21:22 (compared to Exodus 21:23), a verse which even the Catholic Bible (Douhay-Rheims) properly translates; some versions mistranslate Exodus 21:22, but at least six get it right. See also what Rebecca did, Genesis 25:22 -- that's Who Governs This Question. So the coverup of womb verses to reverse what God wrote gives ignorance some excuse; but not that Genesis 25:22 and Exodus 21:22-23 passage. So of course we prove that we don't at all care what He says, for we don't Learn What He Says, and thus we blaspheme Him, preferring Caesar as our 'god'. Why we keep doing it, well -- see the next section. Gramma Satan likes to sweeten our egos, and we all got one, prolifer or no.


Satan's Nature and Plan for Us

  1. We're in an Angelic Appeal Trial between the Lord and Satan which predates the human race: man was created to be the non-angelic witness in this Trial. This Thesis synopsis will be long: for there is much disinformation about the Rapture, which is in fact a Trial deadline. The Trial is in response to Satan's charge (and motive to rebel), that God demands too much from His creatures; that to have a relationship with God is harmful to the creature. So, God is not a loving God. I tried to dramatize this background from Satan's perspective, in the first chapter of pdr.doc. You might want to skim it before reading further. Satan's other arguments are illustrated throughout the Thinking series, but most notably in Part 1's 'Core Trial Issues', and in the Appendix on God's Paradox.

If we don't understand the Trial and the Precedenting Bridal Contract from Israel, we'll mess up the Legal Nature of the Rapture and not perceive its Trial Deadline significance.

When you examine what the Bible says about Satan, rather than listening to all that lurid garbage pandered about demons in Christendom -- you realize Satan is a very moral person. In fact, that's why he rebelled, on the grounds that God is not loving. Matthew 4 summarizes his accusations against God, would that anyone bother to analyze them. All the temptations are accusations that God won't do the required good deeds which Satan contends should be done. Now the root idea, is this: God can just make everything work perfectly by willing it. So if He won't do that, He's immoral. Sound familiar? That same argument is made against anyone with power or money, looks, etc. Echoed billions of times per day in complaining mouths. And it is a valid question, too: why did God make it so we have to pee? That's a hassle. More importantly: why did God make it so He'd forever have to look at us peeing? We live moment-to-moment, but Omniscience sees each moment forever occurring. So put yourself in Satan's place -- why would God do this? Either He's nuts, or not omnipotent. Of course, the answer is Absolute Love for Truth which He wants to be full-spectrum, however small or horrific, just as much as for the high ease of instantly creating anything He wants. But oh! That's an awful hard answer to swallow. So Satan and one third of the angelic realm, spit it out.

(Old) playlist to the set of videos I made on the Angelic Conflict: b-out Angelic Conflict Vids

Bible is first and foremost a Trial Disclosure. That's why Moses began writing from the past, to show how the Trial progressed, for when Israel was called out as a nation, she was to be a National Witness to the world about this Trial. Trial language is thickly strewn throughout both Old and New Testament, but is nearly always blotted out in translation. Sorry, but Satan & Co. Don't exactly want folks to know what's in God's Deposition (AKA Bible).

There are three massive, intertwining doctrines to explain here: Trial, Precedence, and how God grants time itself to the human race. Trial and hence the Rapture are foundational to the amount of time allotted the entire planet; which amount no one can predict, for the Trial goes on, in Heaven. The reason we remain down here post-salvation, is to be developed into Witnesses for this Unseen Trial ("ἔλεγχος οὐ βλεπομένων", Evidence Unseen, in Hebrews 11:1, always mistranslated). So how much time remains, depends on believer votes. It's a massive doctrine, and I can't find anyone since Canon completed, who teaches it. So be sure you use 1 John 1:9 and ask Our Mutual Father for any confirmation, as you read. He witnesses to Truth, and alerts you to falsehood.

Thus the Rapture has zilch to do with politics and who-aligns-with-who, so just throw out all that drooling over historical events to see if these are the "end times, brother". Of course they are! Every Generation Can Be The Last. That has always been true. Because, "witnessing" is a matter of voting in This Trial, not a to-people thing at all; and no one can predict who or how long that will go on. It could have all ended before the Flood occurred. Nothing to stop Christ from being born from Noah's loins, coming, paying, and -- finis. It could have ended with Moses. So see: the Rapture has Trial precedence, a contingent trigger based on believer development. So every generation could be the last one, that's the default. Only Israel is an exception to that norm -- why, is covered later on.

Happily, some pastors do teach about the Trial, and have done so for many years; my pastor isn't the only one, here (for a change). So you can find stuff on the internet about the Trial, but I can't find anyone other than my pastor who understands the Legal Basis for the Rapture. So I had to spend four years vetting, and writing the Lord vs. Satan Part 4. All law goes by precedence, since precedence is a Justice requirement of consistency.

My pastor has taught the doctrine of Precedence, Bridal Contract, and the resultant Believers Growing being the Criterion of Rapture for many years. He calls the Rapture, "the End of the Rebuttal Phase of the Angelic Appeal Trial" and has taught that doctrine for decades, too. Although I did believe him, and I didn't reject the doctrine, I was (confession time!) too lazy to appreciate it. Worse, I used to think only goofy Christians were interested in the Rapture, even though via four years of my pastor's daily exegesis of Revelation, one can't mistake the doctrine. God spanked me for my former prejudicial disinterest, too: 🤣 I had to essentially repeat the four years in webpage writeup, since I was bored/prejudiced during those first four!

My pastor has also taught that believers are used by God to literally buy Time, for decades. I didn't understand that, either. So while vetting the claim, I ran into Daniel 9; turns out Daniel 9 is not merely a one-time grant, but is rather phrased as an accounting convention. So Gabriel speaks using familiar time-accounting lingo to Daniel. That's why Daniel doesn't ask Gabriel to define any terms. Daniel wouldn't have to, if everyone already knew that lingo. Turns out, it was commonly known. Moses uses it (Psalms 90:4), Luke uses it (Luke 3), Matthew uses it (Matthew 1), Paul uses it (Acts 13), just to name a few. So Daniel 9 is simply an accounting convention which is based on how God Accounts Time itself. An accounting system which people knew (or rather, used to know 😛).


Time Precedence: Only Believers Must Get Time Grants. Else, The World Ends.

Rapture is first founded on a Precedence which limits Trial Time; hopefully you saw some of that meaning in the above videos. Additionally, there's a subsequent precedence which has nothing to do with Church per se, but everything to do with the biologically-degenerative effects of "Adam's Original Sin". Term is my pastor's, but also in the biological meaning layer of Genesis 2:17, Romans 5:12, and pretty much all the death verses which reference man's deteriorating biology. In short, there's a macro medical limit on Time. When Adam fell, his days became numbered. That was a medical result. Now that the body is tainted, it can't keep living. So will die. Over successive generations, the tainted genetics will mutate. Further sins will further corrupt the passed-on genetic material, even as the first sin did. So genetic deterioration due to the sin nature means that at some point, the biological material would be too corrupt to sustain the imputation of a human soul at birth. That's why spontaneous abortions occur now, and at some point, the corruption will only generate abortion; so, humanity must end.

To some extent, how you think will speed up or slow down some of that biological degeneration in your progeny, since thought very clearly affects biological (and especially brain) health all by itself; but at some point biological degradation will still be too much. For it is due to sin entering the biology: sin is a soul function, but its effects are additionally biological; hence the sin nature, now genetic, will not be 'touched' by God. That's why childbirth instead of repeated Genesis 2:7 creations, occurs. That's why the soul is imputed at birth not before, since unless the fetus is biologically viable, it's not right to impute a soul to it. God's test of viability, is that the fetus can be born: breathing criterion in Genesis 2:7 -- after body is outside and fully formed, see also Exodus 21:22 (fetus is not a legal person). So eventually, there will come a day (happening only sporadically now) when no fetus will exit the birth canal, owing to the genetic degradation. So the world is in a kind of aggregate time-bomb status, no matter what. While no one knows how long that will be, the human race has degraded so much in the 6,113 years since Adam's Fall (as of end 2007) our solar system's Sun, will probably outlive our biology. But that's by human calculations. Only God controls time. So let's look at how He does that.

Given the sin nature, and the above time-bomb backdrop, now let's examine Bible's (provable) Doctrine that God grants the world Time, solely due to believers. That's why you have the Genesis 5 roster: the world would not have continued, had those believers not been at the top, per generation. Moreover, at least one believer every 490 years, must be sufficiently spiritually grown to justify awarding another 490-year segment of time for the entire world. So the Rapture can be halted, manipulated. For Time was always a contingency based on believers, and still remains a contingency. Time continues due to positive believers; its quality, due to positive believers; it worsens or ends due to negativity (namely, the Flood).

Typical theology shuns Bible in favor of astronomy or pagan materials to construct timelines, which is big mistake on their part. That's why there's so much controversy over Bible dates, no one is reading it to learn its dating system. So they use non-Bible material and of course therefore contradiction results! But, I just believe Bible 🤣, for God wrote that Book -- so Bible is what I used, so you can audit what I found. Duh, it's perfect and no contradictions, either. It's a relay race. Before one 490-year grant completes, someone else must be spiritually developed enough to 'carry the baton' (renew the 490-year grant). Abraham, for example just makes spiritual maturity in the nick of time: the absolute 1000-year grant would end four years later. Another close call, when the Temple was completed: four years later would have been the end of the third 1000 grant. Since the purpose of the world getting another day is to develop believers in the Trial (next subsection), these time grants are Deadlines of Development. It's like investing; you have to get sufficient yield within a reasonable period, or you should stop investing. Like throwing good money after bad, at some point it's not worth extending time. And above all, from Adam forward the genetic time-bomb is ticking. Periods of apostasy make biological degradation proceed more swiftly. That's why life expectancy after the Flood deteriorates so much, even in the Bible heroes listed.

These Time grants determine whether the world will keep going -- but also, whether it will suddenly stop, no matter where things are in the Trial. As you'll see below with respect to the First Temple, any grant previously given can be cut short. So, these time-grants are in contiguous 490-year sets (560, counting the intercalation of a 70-year voting period). There is a second class of grant which covers civilization (not just believers), which spans 1000 years (1050, including the 50-year voting period, such that 490 + 70 + 490 is 'inside' the 1050).

To better see these grants, trace some of them. For example, note that 490 years is granted between Noah's son Shem (gift to Noah) to Abraham's son Isaac (gift to Abraham); from there, to Joseph's enslavement, and 490 years after his enslavement, the Exodus occurs. 490 years from that, the First Temple is built; its premature demise is used to craft the last 490 in Daniel 9, which ends with Christ. And He died at what would have been the end of the First Temple's second 90 had it never been razed (950 - 490 - 490 = 30 AD). Which is also to say, He died in the 1470th year to the day (3 × 490) of the original Passover (1440 - 490 - 490 - 490 = 30 AD, same 14 Nisan). God keeps good time, huh. You can see all this easily in the worksheet, as you scroll down. All the dates are in the Bible. Its own dating system is self-auditing; so it 'catches' your mistakes. Its purpose is to show how God Orchestrates Time as a Balance Sheet based on Believers He Develops Spiritually. Duh, we already know God can tell time and give us right information. What we don't know, is why He does it with such vigor, in the Bible.

So now watch God's Accounting Precision in what follows. In Daniel 9, God crafts a new 490 from the Remaining Time Due the First Temple. It had its own 490 which began when Moses' 490 ended (1440-950 BC), but died 126 years short of its own 490's ending (950-586 BC). Isaiah memorialized all this 200 years prior to Daniel, since Isaiah was the one who first prophesied the destruction and later rebuilding, of that Temple (i.e., beginning in Isaiah 40):

So contingent on the Temple being rebuilt during the 70-year voting period from 586 BC-516 BC (Daniel 9:2), a new 490 can be crafted, of which the 126 will be a part (= reimbursed 70, 49, and reserved 7). Therefore the 364 years it was standing, can likewise be reimbursed (126 + 364 = 490, with "62 weeks" being the sum of the 70 and the 364, and the other two remaining pieces, severally accounted in Daniel 9:25, Daniel 9:27). Hence Daniel 9:24-27's 490, balances perfectly all the way back to Adam, and forward to Christ. When you track that accounting, you find God reserved not one, but two seven-year periods, and the outer time limit was the 1000th anniversary of David's death (which theologians always date 7 years too early, for they misread 1 Kings 6:1, and instead go with Josephus). The Bible says David was king for 40 years, and that he became king at age 30. Josephus says David died at age 70. So that would mean David did not live even a year, after his abdication/retirement in favor of Solomon. So the first five chapters of 1 Kings, which chronicle David living 7 more years after he stopped being king, and then three more years after his death, must all be a complete mystery, huh. Oh well.

Since you know this outer time limit ties to David's 1000th anniversary-of-death, and you know David ruled 40 years, you can easily calculate the birth year of Christ: 37 - 40 = 3 BC, or very late in 4 BC (which turns out to be 25 Chislev 4 BC, when you add up Luke 1:26, Haggai 2, and look at priestly course names, among other things). So then you notice that 3 BC is the 1000th anniversary of David's consolidated Kingship over all Israel. So is all this just fancy dancing? Or God's Orchestration of Time? Well, see for yourself. This isn't the only pattern of convergence, but it is the most important one, and it balances to all the others.

But when Daniel 9:26 played to finish Messiah, it got cut short by 7 because Israel rejected Christ (so His 40 years' as King to parallel David, got cut to 33). The second 7 is reserved in Daniel 9:27. So the first reserved one played from 64-70 AD (66-73 AD, by some other accountings). So Daniel 9:26's prediction of the razing of the Temple, still happened as forecast -- but with a double-seven. There's one seven remaining: the Tribulation

So it's not possible but that the Rapture kicks off the Tribulation, mathematically. Time ran out when Christ died; had He not died then, we'd not be alive, now. For His Death renewed/rebirthed Time itself, just like the Bible says (i.e., Galatians 4:4). That's why we are used to redeem Time itself (as an extension of Him), Colossians 4:5, Ephesians 5:13. It's not hyperbole. Clearly no amount of human works accomplishes squat to increase Time. So why does God do this granting? Next section will begin to answer that question.

Post-Canon (96 AD) the individuals thus granted these 490s, are of course not identified. Post-Canon you can still track the attendant trends proving the time-grants continue, and you can see the effect of the deadlines being met (many close calls): the trends themselves.

Upshot: whenever God might be 'planning' the Rapture, if there isn't some believer awarded a time grant prior, then the last such award becomes the intervening deadline: because, that's what happened to Christ Himself. And -- also as happened to Christ Himself -- like the First Temple, that time grant can get cut short due to massive believer negativity. So it's truly possible for the Rapture to occur at the wrong time; it's possible the Rapture could be pre-empted or triggered too early due to negative believer votes. For Precedence governs: this is how Time has been granted since Adam, and of course Christ is the Last Adam, so there's no justification to change how God grants time. When you vet history post-Cross, you find out that the 490s still play predictably: so someone is getting those grants each time. It's a Justice Consistency requirement: God will never gerrymander freedom. Believer votes govern.


Trial Precedence: Witness TO God, so Believers-Only,
Determines How Long Trial and hence Time Lasts

So let's next examine the overall rule of trial precedence. Let's look at a flagship chapter in the Bible on it, to see the idea. Quintessential statement about it is in Hebrews 11:1, which is an introduction to a sampling of Trial Witnesses, since Abel. The writer updates to reference Church's Role, because Hebrews 11 is a parenthetical elaboration on the ending warning of Hebrews 10 (Temple soon to be destroyed, maybe the Rapture will come); but the underlying statement is always true since Abel, as the rest of the Chapter goes on to illustrate. So here's a corrected translation of Hebrews 11:1 which tries to reflect the writer's poetic meter:

Hebrews 11:1

"It's about Confidence in Word! Son's Thinking on Trial! Evidence, Unseen!"

Ἔστιν δὲ πίστις ἐλπιζομένων ὑπόστασις, πραγμάτων ἔλεγχος οὐ βλεπομένων.

So Hebrews 11:1 tells you what true "witnessing" means, beginning a whole chapter on the topic, going all the way back to Abel. So Past is Prologue. Past Witness, to God, not people. Past reason for Time Continuing, Believers, not unbelievers. Notice how everyone the author picks, were alone, i.e., Moses' decision to leave Egypt is recorded -- he's alone at that time, and it's a Thought which is praised. So the Trial Witness, just as Hebrews 11:1 so cleverly exclaims, was Unseen. You can't see Father Who Hears Every Thought. And your Testimony, well -- Word you believe, is technically invisible. So notice how Thought is stressed. Ouch -- how long have we had Hebrews 11? And yet we childishly define "witnessing" in only one narrow way, to mere people, as if they were more important than Father Who Hears Every Thought? Wow, our Unseen-To-God Witness isn't very good, huh.

Precedence for the Rapture, Unseen-ness: the Trial is not based on unbelievers, so the Rapture is not based on unbelievers. It's believer votes throughout history, as illustrated by the pan-covenantal Hebrews 11 roster. Therefore the time allotted, is related to Believer Voting, not related to unbelievers. So that's why Noah was saved in the Flood with his family, but everyone else drowned -- Noah and family got built by the time they finished the boat, so -- time was up! Look: God makes every soul. When a soul rejects its Maker for an entire lifetime, God is being way more than patient. No greater arrogance than to reject the One Who Fathers your own soul. Not even your human parents or spouse, could do that much for you.

Hebrews 11 therefore ends as it began, with the blunt statement of the Rapture due to the Trial -- "without us (being completed, tie-back to Hebrews 11:1), they (Old Testament, Israel) will not be completed". Last is First, see. But why? Well, to find the answer, you go to the past. Precedence, past is prologue.

Precedence? Look: Christ became King-Priest kata Melchizedek, a Trial Victory Title, For Father. So too, you are to be made into a King -- under Him Who is the King of Kings (another Trial Victory Title). Notice that well: His Kingship here has nothing to do with Israel, has everything to do with Father, Psalms 110:1, Hebrews 6:13ff. As Hebrews 7-10 keep on stressing, He'd not be entitled to any priesthood under Israel (wrong tribe, and not a son of Aaron, either). So His Kingship here predates Israel. Therefore so does ours, since ours derives from His. So: you are here For Father, to be developed For Father, so whatever else happens while you undergo that process, is condimental. Trial is used to develop you For Father, and in fact a Successful Witness results in rewards which you get to have forever -- For Father.

So technically our relationships with people are condimental, since priests are to be set apart, isolated to God (root meaning of "sanctify", ἁγιάζω); but since we are already here for the Unseen Trial, God will exploit us as blessing to other humans, as well. Wait till you see how much, as this #1 unfolds! God literally credits time to selected believers -- who of course are Successful Trial Witnesses. Christ rebirthed Time. So under Him, we are given that as well. Pile all the good deeds up from Adam through the Millennium, and all of them together, can't even alter a minute of Time. So a far greater work God does in you, than you can ever do. So much for the Brother-Foot idea of working your buns off being God's Will. He has bigger goals, than that.

All this For-Father meaning, is the Book of Hebrews' primary thesis: Priesthood change, covenant change, For Father is the Reason for the Season (Church Age, in modern lingo). For the precedence changed to What He Inherits As A Result Of The Cross, theme of Hebrews 1-2, Hebrews 12:1-2, Hebrews 10:5-17 (really Hebrews 8:8 - Hebrews 10:17). So Church does not derive from Israel, does not have the covenants of Israel, because Israel rejected Messiah. That created an abrogation in its covenant, Hebrews 3-4, Hebrews 7:18ff, Hebrews 8:7, Hebrews 9:15, Hebrews 10:9, all of Hebrews 10, Hebrews 11:39-40 (etc). Which is why the reach-back to a Priest-Kingship prior to Israel, is cited as Precedence (Melchizedek's). As you can see, Book of Hebrews traces out the Trial and legal changeover to Church, for the reader. As Hebrews 12:2 puts it, He is our Pioneer, Our Originator, Our Precedence, our Progenitor ("ἀρχηγός" means all those nouns and others like them). Him, not Israel. And it's "He" post-Cross, Hebrews 1-2. Not, pre-Cross. So that's why new Kingly Titles are given Him, and we are given a Royal Covenant of potential inheritance as King-Priests, not merely priests. Which requires, Royal Training. Again, not like Israel. More about all this.

His Titles are Trial Victory Titles for defeating Satan in the Trial. That's a threaded theme in Hebrews and elsewhere in the New Testament (but most easily seen in Hebrews, probably). So that's what our Training is about. Trial training is Kingship Training is Training for Father. To learn to Think like Our Ἀρχηγός, Christ. Again, it's unseen, what you think in your soul. Even you can't see it. But God can.

Notice this: all that prophecy about the Tribulation, belongs only to Israel. Rapture is not related, it's just used to trigger Israel's resumption of "time". Instead, the actual cause of the Rapture is entirely based on how you vote to train in your potential King-Priest inheritance For Father; just as only believers determine how long time continues (the 490-year time grants, for example), so also only only believer votes determine when the Unseen Testimony ends: and that, triggers the Rapture. So if you're busy looking at anything else, then your voting will be zilch, nada, niente, goose egg, cero, zero, zip, bupkis, 1 Corinthians 3:15, 1 Corinthians 4:8. So too, your rewards. Can't have a 'job' to train in Kingship but ignore it, and get kudos at the Bema, okay?


Trial Basis and Evidence, Believers Only: Whose Thinking, God's or Satan's?

At heart, The Angelic Appeal Trial is about whether God loves us, and whether His Plan for our lives is better than Satan's. So to demonstrate the free results, both God's Plan and Satan's, play in our lives -- our choice. You are always choosing between One or the other, whether you are a believer or not, whether you know it or not. Lord vs. Satan Part 1 orients you to the Trial basis, which began pre-Adam, back when Satan fell, Isaiah 14:13-14, Ezekiel 28:12-19. That's the precedence. Because Satan was behind the king of Tyre, God draws parallel so to alert the king of Tyre to his desperate situation. Obviously the king of Tyre was not made perfect, and did not pre-exist mankind, and was not an angel. But Satan was. This deft 'sudden change of subject' paralleling is very common in Old Testament rhetoric.

Isaiah 14:13-14

For you have said in your heart: "I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like The Most High".

וְאַתָּ֞ה אָמַ֤רְתָּ בִֽלְבָבְךָ֙ הַשָּׁמַ֣יִם אֶֽעֱלֶ֔ה מִמַּ֥עַל לְכֽוֹכְבֵי־אֵ֖ל אָרִ֣ים כִּסְאִ֑י וְאֵשֵׁ֥ב בְּהַר־מוֹעֵ֖ד בְּיַרְכְּתֵ֥י צָפֽוֹן׃ אֶעֱלֶ֖ה עַל־בָּ֣מֳתֵי עָ֑ב אֶדַּמֶּ֖ה לְעֶלְיֽוֹן׃

Ezekiel 28:13-15

You have been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was your covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of your tambourines and of your pipes was prepared in thee in the day that you were created. You are the anointed cherub that covers; and I have set you so: you were upon the holy mountain of God; you have walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. You were perfect in your ways from the day that you were created, until iniquity was found in you.

בְּעֵ֙דֶן גַּן־אֱלֹהִ֜ים הָיִ֗יתָ כָּל־אֶ֙בֶן יְקָרָ֤ה מְסֻכָתֶ֙ךָ֙ אֹ֣דֶם פִּטְדָ֞ה וְיָהֲלֹ֗ם תַּרְשִׁ֥ישׁ שֹׁ֙הַם֙ וְיָ֣שְׁפֵ֔ה סַפִּ֣יר נֹ֔פֶךְ וּבָרְקַ֖ת וְזָהָ֑ב מְלֶ֙אכֶת תֻּפֶּ֤יךָ וּנְקָבֶ֙יךָ֙ בָּ֔ךְ בְּי֥וֹם הִבָּרַאֲךָ֖ כּוֹנָֽנוּ׃ אַ֙תְּ־כְּר֔וּב מִמְשַׁ֖ח הַסּוֹכֵ֑ךְ וּנְתַתִּ֗יךָ בְּהַ֙ר קֹ֤דֶשׁ אֱלֹהִים֙ הָיִ֔יתָ בְּת֥וֹךְ אַבְנֵי־אֵ֖שׁ הִתְהַלָּֽכְתָּ׃ תָּמִ֤ים אַתָּה֙ בִּדְרָכֶ֔יךָ מִיּ֖וֹם הִבָּֽרְאָ֑ךְ עַד־נִמְצָ֥א עַוְלָ֖תָה בָּֽךְ׃

Of course, today's Christianity (and Judaism) with poor scholarship conflate the king of Tyre and/or king of Babylon with Satan 🤦. This problem is so prolific even AI tools are now trained on this error, proof:

3-way Gifting

The "primary referent" is not "the king of Babylon", it's Satan! 🤣

Satan hates. But he didn't used to be like that. He used to be in love with God, so to speak. But he didn't grow up enough in that love, to God's level. So it torments him, now. It's really love which didn't mature, owing to a problem in compatibility maturation. So the love never really dies, but it can't enjoy loving. So turns to unquenchable hatred, in an attempt to compensate. That's why Satan shows so much admiration for Christ in Matthew 4, yet must deride Him at the same time. It's a tragic situation. But the meanwhile, it explains why he's positively obsessed with defeating the Lord. An incipient fictional version of this account is also in Pleroma Day: Rapture!. Fiction makes a great auditing device to test concepts for overall sense.

When a young boy is first learning to like girls, he often does mean things to them, because he likes them. The boy doesn't know what to do with his attraction, and tries to resolve it by being mean. So now multiply this problem by a billion years and a bazillion smarts -- and you get a glimmer of what a hellish soul life, Satan and the demons have. For they are all attracted to God, admire God -- but they can't handle the "He focus" such love engenders. Giving up the "me focus" is something they won't do. Love doesn't want a me-ness. So, it becomes a mean-ness.

So what happened back in eternity past, was that Satan and one third of all the angels, rebelled against God. A huge civil war ensued, for we don't know how long. Eventually everyone finished choosing sides, and then God convened a Trial, 'found' the one third guilty for rebelling (legal term, means the evidence justified the 'finding'), sentenced them to a not-yet-created, "Lake of Fire" (a new universe, Matthew 25:41). Before that sentence was carried out, Satan (= "opposing attorney") appealed on grounds that God is unloving, unfair, abuses His Power. Hence we exist.

The "Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil" and the "Tree of Life" were real trees, but of course the fruit of either one, was just fruit. Whatever biological benefit might have been gotten from eating, obviously the point was Volition Choosing to eat from one Tree or the other. For by making that choice, your soul was choosing either God's Plan -- or Satan's, for your own life. Thus it has been, ever since.

Each choice begets a change in your soul; of course, you will make a bazillion choices over a lifetime. With each one, you get God's Thinking deposited, or Satan's. Certain layers of God's Thinking are available to the human race (i.e., morality); for the Christian, he must be in God's System, to get God's Thinking. Else, it's all Satan's Thinking being deposited, even when it seems to be about Bible -- because only the Holy Spirit deposits Bible; and He'll never do it absent 1 John 1:9 used as needed (Old Testament version expressed in Psalms 32:5, Psalms 66:18, Genesis 3:12-13). Fellowship with the Holy Spirit and carnality are mutually exclusive, theme of Romans 8. So use 1 John 1:9 like breathing; spiritual apnea is not good; that's called "ματαιότης" in the Bible, a literal vacuum sucking up Satan's thinking -- and you'll think yourself spiritual the meanwhile, 1 John 1:6-10!

So what happens to your soul is accumulative, and becomes Unseen Trial Evidence. Does your soul become happier, more content, integrated with God's Thinking deposited, or -- Satan's? Satan's thinking results in the soul being preoccupied with me. God's Thinking results in the soul being occupied with "He". So it's the "me" thing, versus the "He" thing. God sees God and happily exclaims, "He! He! He!" (deft Hebraism in the Old Testament for Trinity). So that same Happiness, He (!) wants for us. Each "He". By contrast, Satan sees God and unhappily exclaims, "what about me me me?!"

So that's the core Evidence, here: are you happier thinking like Satan, or like God? Dungheap explains the inner working of this Me versus He Trial issue, because as a result of Adam's Fall, our soul's urge goes from He -- to Me. What a misery. Before God has developed you, you are in Training, and you go through depositions from time to time (cross-examination, but unofficial, to test you for potentially becoming an official Trial Witness for the Prosecution, God). So this is a lifelong transmutation-in-His-Thinking process. If you end up being qualified for Evidence Testing (which means you became an Official Witness for the Prosecution, God), you will find that out, usually sometime after you've been in it. You'll also know how well it turned out before you die, 2 Timothy 4:7-8.

Notice how it's results-based evidence. So if Satan had 800,000 on his side, but God had 1, the number of people is not what constitutes victory. It's the quality of life on either side. So clearly, 800,000 unhappy people versus one happy person means the happy side wins. Christ was the Happiest Person Ever, Hebrews 12:2. Now you know why there only had to be One Person That Highly Developed, to defeat Satan in the Trial (Hebrews 2:14). Now you know why only 8 people in an Ark, were victorious witnesses, happy people -- versus the maybe millions of very miserable me-ness half-humans, who drowned. (Yes, half-humans. Genesis 6 Hebrew & LXX is plain that the demons cohabited. The demons were incarcerated in Tartarus for that little caper, 2 Peter 2:4, Jude 6.)

Notice how the body life is superfluous. Body reflects thought (that's one major reason we sicken) -- but body activity can often be exactly the same, with antithetical thought. Example of the woman with the two coppers, in Mark 12:42. Her thinking made that little amount of money given the Temple more valuable than the merit-me thinking of the rich guy before her, who put in a whole talent (million dollars). Both activities were giving money to the Temple. But the souls behind them, couldn't be more different. So "good deeds" are never measurable by what goes on the outside, but what's coming from the inside. It's what's inside the soul that defiles the body no matter what the body does, Matthew 15:11-18.

Every favorable mention of good deeds/works in the Bible should really be translated "God-deeds". In the original language texts, grammatical nuances alert you to "God in you source", so God Alone is the Actor making the deed, good (confer the Lord's quips in Matthew 19:17, Mark 10:18, Luke 18:19). For example (one rhetorical style), Greek text omits the (nee: definite) article ("the"), or uses it monadically so you can't mistake the God-deed meaning in the original language texts.

God's head gets cut off in translation, and man's is placed atop, so the me-ness preoccupation replaces the He-origin of the works. Very sad.

So technically unbelievers are not Witnesses for God's side in the Trial, since they can't do any God-deeds until they are born from above, John 3:3-36. But since they are to get the Gospel, there are many elements in God's Thinking they need and receive, as logistical support so they can respond to the Gospel. God thus invented morality. Ideally, the thinking of morality provides a kind of societal and internal stability plus contentment, so that the Gospel can be heard. That's why you have the structure of nations, of law, etc. So an unbeliever is in essence voting for his portion of God's Thinking when he votes to obey law, be moral, etc. Satan then exploits the resultant prosperity to make the unbeliever think that because he's moral, God should accept that morality in lieu of the Gospel. Thus the unbeliever comes to regard the Gospel as offensive, by -- in effect -- God's Own Gift of morality! See how clever Satan is?

Satan's always playing both sides of the fence. He wants to beat God to the Millennium by creating a nice moral world which needs no God. On the other hand, he needs to divide and conquer, so he also sponsors immorality, which destabilizes a society. Satan picks and chooses where to practice this destabilization, and of course sponsors it the most, in nations he can use to harass other nations of strong believers -- or (preferably), he'll do it within nations of strong believers. But that's hard to do, unless the believers are negative to God. So the United States is full of negative believers. That's why we have so many problems, see Leviticus 26.

For the believer must vote on a higher plane than mere morality, and it's difficult to do so. The believer has the Royal Responsibility of voting to learn Bible, to even be voting on God's Side. Repeat: if you're not voting to learn Bible, then you're not voting for God. But if you are, then God 'replies' by depositing that Bible in your soul. Then the results are all Divinely handled -- with each such occurrence also contingent on the believer choosing for God to handle it, not the believer himself. Bible (and theological) Doctrine of "κένωσις" means Christ forewent doing of His Own Nature (Divine and Human), in favor of the Holy Spirit doing to Him. So that's His ὑπογραμμός ("copybook", term used in Peter, usually mistranslated "example") Legacy for us.

For God to be doing it, you must be in God's System. Else you're voting against God, and for Satan. As you spend more time in God's System, the voting level toughens. "First Reason for Invisibility" walks you through the spiritual maturation stages and their vicissitudes. For it takes time to age spiritually; to go from "me" to "He" in focus. As your focus progresses in "He", the difficulty increases, too; and you end up having to become very familiar with God's Word, to avoid the many traps: things which at a younger spiritual age, would be God's doing -- but at your age, are too young so will not be God's doing. Kinda like insisting on using training wheels for a bicycle you've outgrown.

So it gets harder to detect whether the impetus for any action is from God's Word, rather than your own. It's a very messy process, during spiritual adulthood; for often you think you're doing God's Word, but it's really your own -- again, you're too old now, but clinging to what used to be a from-God category. Solution? Just use 1 John 1:9 and keep seeking for God to be the determiner, not you. Christ always looked up before making any decision, Matthew 4:4. Paul calls this "bringing every thought into captivity" -- really difficult habit to get into -- in 2 Corinthians 10:5. That means you are constantly thinking Bible, constantly in a kind of conversation with God, constantly monitoring your thoughts, constantly firing Bible at temptations, constantly analyzing what's God's Will, constantly monitoring the coordination between soul and body to have spiritual competence according to God's Will. It's exhausting. And nothing in this life is more fulfilling, either.

So all that theonomy junk, all the many crusades to get other people to change their behavior, all the many Christian works, are on Satan's side: believers are doing it themselves, just like the unbeliever is. No Spirit in all that, just ego. See how clever Satan is? Same tactic of making morality the spiritual life, as the tactic of making morality the substitute Gospel. And we fall for it, every time: there are four elements of Satan's clever herding plan: Morality, Emotion, Gross sin, and Apathy. With the result that, we think ourselves great (μέγα = great).

In all events, the believer is the only valid Witness in the Trial, and both God and Satan use believers they prepared; and of course they don't prepare anyone not voting for them. Notice also how the goal is to get the believer to reject God (namely, beginning Job 1 and Job 2). Sin is just a tool to enable the rejection. It's never about sin, in either side of the Trial. That's why the "G" in "MEGA" is "Gross sin" -- to make what is not an issue, an issue in the minds of man, thus polarizing man between those who practice gross sin, and those who judge it. So all of them are sinning now -- all looking at each other, not at God. Quite successfully clever, huh.

The more of God's Thinking which grows in you, the more like Christ you become in your soul. Therefore the happier you become. Therefore as you age spiritually, the more stuff can hit you, whether prosperity or adversity -- and you keep on preferring God. It's a mental attitude testimony, a pattern of thinking which becomes instinctive. It's arduous, it's fun, it's refreshing, it's "all things". Full-spectrum.

By contrast, the more of Satan's thinking which grows in you, the more like Satan you become in your soul. Therefore the more prickly, manipulative, phoney, hateful and bored you become. Therefore as you age carnally, the less stuff can hit you, whether prosperity or adversity -- and you keep on preferring to deride. It's a mental attitude testimony, a pattern of thinking which becomes instinctive. It's ennui, a sighing martyrdom complex much like the manipulator down in Hades in Luke 16:20ff. You literally shrink into a little, black, vibrating lump of soul coal. But you will fancy yourself, a diamond. We all know someone like this. It's devastating.

Hence soul results of the choices determine Trial Outcome, not the votes themselves. So that's why Noah and family, only 8 persons, were a victorious witness, versus the maybe millions who drowned. Those who drowned, voted for Satan's plan, and the results of their lives were unbelievable cruelty, boredom and hatred. Noah and family voted for God's plan, and the results of their lives were happiness and love. So it's not how many vote for God, but what results come from the votes.

Most believers historically vote for Satan's plan as well -- but you can't lose your salvation. You can only lose the happiness in this life and the additional inheritance of Kingship (which glorifies God more than wood hay stubble) -- in eternity. Not worth it, to vote for Satan's plan.


Church Completion

We've just seen that an individual believer's soul changes constitute Trial Evidence. But in aggregate, we believers (AKA "Church") are in Training for the Rapture -- which Deadline, is predicated on Corporate completion of Church. That's our current macro-historical status in the Trial, which is defined in Bible as the time bubble of Daniel 9:26c. That Corporate Completion is to simultaneously Create A Legal Bridge, to justify fulfilling to Israel her promise of the Tribulation (Daniel 9:27, elaborated on in Zechariah, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Revelation) and Millennium (ibid). For when Israel rejected Messiah, she rejected Her Brideship Promise, so it passed to Church: Matthew 22 analogy of Vashti and Esther, with Church getting the highways-and-byways Esther role. Just as for Israel, the question is aggregate spiritual development, for Church: but at the Maturity-of-Christ standard, Ephesians 4:13. For He completed His Cross before Church existed. This fact is vitally important, as you'll begin to see, henceforth.

What does it mean to say the Church, a body of believers between Pentecost and Rapture, must be 'completed'? Well, have you ever played The Sims"? You create a society, and then run it. Lots of infrastructure is needed, there's the question of what people have what skills so what aggregate wealth can be produced, so that the polity can be strong, and the people, happy. Balance is important. All these are rulership questions, too. Ruling over such an entity, kinda like ruling a household, a business, a factory -- only much bigger. And here, ruling it forever.

Rulership is a parental thing. You must Love Absolutely -- or rulership is an intolerable burden. For all those you rule, are lower than you. That fact hurts, because if you love, you want Intimacy. But it's precluded, to the extent they are lower. Every king knows this. It's isolating, to be a king. So you must have a huge amount of power, and a matching amount of love, else the use of power will hurt both you and those you rule: for love motivates using power to resolve the Inequality, in order to get greater Intimacy. So Divine Thinking must be crafted in your soul, if you are to be a King forever Under Him. Very beautiful, somber thing, to be a ruler. Love alone, makes it worthwhile.

Rulership is a delicate thing. Too many rulers is like too many cooks in the kitchen. Not a tyranny of one ruler, yet not a democracy either. Too many rules is worse than too many cooks. Plus, a certain kind of shared thinking is critical to the happiness of a polity. Rapport is important in a marriage; it's absolutely vital, to the health of any polity. So to craft such an ideal state, well -- it requires much training and matching in compatibility.

So spiritual maturation is essentially a compatibility change. As a child, the focus is on me. As an adult, the focus changes to "He". As one matures in spiritual adulthood, the Love becomes Absolute. For it's God's Love in which you mature, Romans 5:5, Ephesians 3:15-19, 1 John 4:19. Most "love" verses in the New Testament only mean "God's Love", ἀγάπη (ἀγαπάω is the verb) is a famous technical term only meaning "a god's love", in Classical Greek literature -- but translations always cut "God" out. No excuse for that. So when you read 1 Corinthians 13, put "God's" in front of "love", see what a difference it makes. In fact, do that whenever you see "love" in the New Testament, see what difference it makes! So compatibility becomes absolute, too. Word is Divine, and it's the Thinking of Christ, and God is Love; so His Word is Love; so as He deposits His Word in you, just as it transformed His Human Soul, so it transforms yours, Romans 5:5, 1 John 4:19.

So God, ever the Lover of Freedom, is building a federation of Kingdoms for His Son to fulfill the Son's Desire to have a federation of Priest-Kingdoms to serve Father forever. What serves Father, is Divine Thinking. So what needs to be built, are whole Polities of Completed-in-Son Thinking. That's far harder, than building a whole country from scratch!

In short, you're to be built in the Son's Thinking, For Father: that building changes your soul, and what God does to your soul, versus what Satan does, is Your Trial Witness. Unseen, obviously. Even we don't really know our souls' testimony. So what testifies, is also what builds you in Son's Thinking for this future -- For Father. For ever. Frankly, it becomes a killer life. And nothing else satisfies, either.

So it takes time to mature you spiritually. Then in aggregate, to balance to the number of believers who voted for Satan, so don't have the thinking they need -- but they can get it through the Kings. That is, if enough time can be justified, for the development of those Kings. When those Kings get completed -- the balance being completed -- then the Rapture occurs.


Satan Angles for a Mistrial to Prevent Church Completion

Hence Satan angles for a mistrial Verdict, by trying to prevent this Bridal Bridge from completing. A "Mistrial" occurs when the Authority in charge of the trial, proves 'guilty' of evidence tampering, or not living up to Trial rules. Since that's a breach of fiduciary (AKA "public") trust, a Mistrial Verdict must be issued, and the defendant goes free. Can't ever be tried again for that crime, either. Secular always reflects spiritual, so the origin of today's legal concepts of mistrial, are sourced in this pre-historic Trial and its terms. For example, Satan is essentially accusing God of tampering with evidence (bribing a Trial Witness, Job) at the beginning of Job 1 and Job 2. Now you know why Satan's angling for a Mistrial. If he can get it, his (and his side's) freedom would be thereafter unimpeachable. So he fancies himself a kind of savior for all the fallen angels, and all of mankind in hell. And he would be, if he wins. I try to present his point of view in fictional novel format (yet unfinished), in pdr.doc. Its first chapter explains how the demons look at God, and us. They fancy themselves, messiahs. Just like Satan does, in Isaiah 14:12-14.

Mistrial key: In a legal trial before a jury, there must be "Discovery of Evidence"; if the procedure of "Discovery" is materially violated, the defense can call for -- and likely get -- a Mistrial Verdict. For "Discovery" means you lay out the evidence beforehand to the opposition. Can't introduce any evidence in a trial, which wasn't first 'discovered' (disclosed) to the opposition. Moreover, "Discovery" requires that you put all the evidence 'out there' for the opposition to attack; this includes the opposition's right to search ("discover") everything you have which might be useable as evidence. So: you generally cannot introduce new evidence once the trial has begun, unless you can prove you newly got it; even so, you never can do it, without the opposition getting advance full disclosure and the time to refute it, before the evidence is presented in court.

Omniscience thus provides a kind of legal "Discovery" disclosure, which we call "prophecy" (i.e., beginning in Genesis 3). Because, all evidence must be presented to the opposition in advance of being presented in court -- else it's a Mistrial. In effect, Evidence not presented properly or withheld or misrepresented, is a kind of tampering. Skewing justice, cheating. That's bad enough, in anyone. But if Authority for the Trial (i.e., the state) does it -- a Mistrial Verdict must be issued, and the defendant goes free.

Evidence tampering comes basically in two flavors:

In civil cases in the United States, "discovery" often means the witnesses for one side, get the equivalent of a subpoena to show up at the law offices of the opposition lawyer, and must give a "deposition" (= testimony) to that lawyer. It's recorded by a court reporter, and the side you're witnessing for, is not allowed to help you in any way. The representative lawyer on 'your' side just sits there. You get cross-examined, and it can be very intrusive. If you pass the "deposition" cross-examination, 'your side' would be allowed to call you as a witness in the actual trial, for passing means you prove to be a valid (i.e., not bribed or 'coached' or "sandbagging") witness. But if you don't pass, then you cannot be used as a witness in that trial. That's exactly how it works in the Bible, too. First, actually.

You've also seen this principle of evidence tampering demonstrated in courtroom movies and many crime drama series: a claimed witness suddenly disappears on the day he's to testify; the murder weapon in police hands goes missing; a letter claimed to be written on a certain day by a certain person, turns out to be a forgery/hoax. If it can be shown that the prosecution or judge or police were the cause of these (and like) problems, it's a Mistrial. O.J. Simpson's lawyers were constantly looking for evidence tampering so they could save him time and money by getting a Mistrial Verdict. Every good lawyer seeks it; doesn't matter if his client is guilty or innocent, it saves time and money, so must be pursued.

Re this Angelic Trial, both "Discovery" and "Trial" happen in two places at once, but not in quite the same way: in heaven, and here on earth. Hence we must get prophecy too, as we are essentially judging whether we want to go with God, or with Satan. So we're evidence, but also a kind of jury. Because we have this dual role, prophecy (discovery evidence) isn't all disclosed at once. It's part of the Trial Basis, what we choose based on what we know in advance, and what we don't know in advance. So we vote on what is disclosed, and then more is disclosed, etc. That's why the covenants differ. How people vote on what they know, and what they don't know. Lord vs. Satan Part 1 covers the issue of known/unknown, and Part 2 centers on covenantal differentiation as the known/unknowns, change. So over time, more and more disclosure is given. And like Revelation 19:10 reminds us, all disclosure centers on the Person of Christ: in the Old Testament, He was upcoming. In the New Testament, He's already come and gone. So the Old Testament people voted on a witness of what they had not yet seen, whereas the New Testament people vote on Him Who Was Seen. In all events, most people didn't see Him. So it's a question of what results when we believe the court reporters of God's Deposition, Isaiah 53:1, 1 John 1:1-5, see exegetical comments for the latter verses which tie to Isaiah: Translation and Exegetical Notes on 1 John.

Because humans are simultaneously witnesses and jury, because Time is only granted if there is a sufficiently-developed believer; because mass believer negativity can literally stop time, look -- there are many ways a "Mistrial" can and even must be declared. Hence Satan's often nearly won a Mistrial via believer rejection, to prevent the First Advent. Since Precedence is Prologue, look at sample moments in Old Testament history which almost resulted in a Mistrial prevention of the Incarnation. Note how just one believer (could be you or me, analogously) made all the difference! Note also how the near-Mistrial circumstances vary. The partial Witness roster in Hebrews 11 serves to show the meaning of the voting testimony for selected individuals.

See? All those timely votes were used to justify time's continuance so Messiah could be born per the Daniel 9 timeline. Else, God didn't keep His Salvation promise (Genesis 3:15, 15:6, all that prophecy in the Old Testament). Moreover, look at the Time Promise: Daniel 9:26's Messiah-cutoff year ends 37 AD. No other way to calculate it. No other year balances to all other Bible dates, either. So Christ died in 30 AD (the extra seven had to play, therefore, in fulfillment of the remainder of 9:26 and raze the Temple) -- or there will never be a Christ. Makes it easy, pre-Cross and post-Cross, to identify Who is Messiah.

For Christ, The Chief Trial Witness, the One Whose Human Soul would be Fully Integrated with very God the Father even throughout the Cross! -- He, therefore, must be and is fully Disclosed in all respects in advance, Revelation 19:10. Hence His Birth and Death Dates were exactly calculated, prophesied in the Old Testament and occurred, based on this 490-year relay race of Blessing; which is, God's Accounting System for Time. So if His First Advent had to be fully disclosed in advance so Satan could try to prevent it, then the Rapture must be fully disclosed, as well as the Second Advent. So, all of them are. And in each case, a Mistrial on grounds of Evidence Tampering would occur, if what was disclosed in advance by God, doesn't occur 'as advertised'.

For example, He was born in the 1000th anniversary of David's consolidated Kingship: had He not been, it would have been a Mistrial, for the 1000 years granted David, was up. No one other than Messiah after David, could be granted 1000 years -- for Messiah was promised to David, 2 Samuel 7. Israel having rejected God back in 1050 BC, couldn't 'inherit' Messiah except through David. So time went through David, after that. Similarly, the Christ died in the 1000th anniversary of David's retirement from Kingship (David died 7 years later) -- again, lest there be a Mistrial -- that was the outer end of the Davidic time grants (no others remained). For All Time is entirely designed around Christ (Hebrews 1:2, Greek, with "time" usually mistranslated "world"): He's the Reason why only Believers' Positive Votes are used to justify the earth getting another day.

Now you know what Paul means when he writes that the Lord came in the "fullness" (πλήρωμα, a Greek culturally-loaded, pregnant-by-god term) of time (witty παρονομασία w/"born of woman", Galatians 4:4, 1 Timothy 2:15). Yeah, no time remained!

"Day of the Lord", like all other Discovery (AKA prophecy), is dual. What we call the First Advent, was the First Day. Isaiah uses that term a lot, and in Isaiah 61:1-2, it's an Arrival, a Visitation. The Lord invokes it in Luke 4:19, the official announcement of His Messiahship; He also invokes it in the "evil generation seeks a sign" analogy to Jonah, but you can't tell from the translation He's talking about the Proclamation of Official Visitiation of The King (κήρυγμα parallels πλεῖον, in Matthew 12:41; see also Luke 19:44). For if He didn't arrive in time to renew the 1000 years, then we'd all not be here.

The Day's Arrival is tied to the 1000th anniversary of David's Kingship: you can learn this by tracing "Day" and 1000 references, and by doing the math on the dates. Once you know God's Accounting System for Time, you can correctly calculate Daniel 9, and thus get the year exactly. Then you notice that hey -- it's the 1000th anniversary of David's death, that Daniel's 69 'weeks', end. So you can easily backtrack to the beginning. Now that same conclusion could have been derived back in 586 BC, too. So it's almost six centuries of advance notice, even if you pretend God didn't disclose it until Daniel 9. (He began that disclosure with Moses, Psalms 90:4 and the construction of the Passover-Pentecost holidays.) Same Accounting, doesn't matter when you calculate it.

Review: in Daniel 9, God crafts a new 490 from the Remaining Time Due the First Temple. It had its own 490 which began when Moses' 490 ended (1440-950 BC), but died 126 years short of its own 490's ending (950-586 BC). So contingent on the Temple being rebuilt during the 70-year voting period from 586 BC-516 BC (Daniel 9:2), a new 490 can be crafted, of which the 126 will be a part (= reimbursed 70, 49, and reserved 7). Therefore the 364 years it was standing, can likewise be reimbursed (126 + 364 = 490, with "62 weeks" being the sum of the 70 and the 364, and the other two remaining pieces, severally accounted). Hence Daniel 9:24-27's 490, balances perfectly all the way back to Adam, and forward to Christ. When you track that accounting, you find God reserved not one, but two 7-year periods, and the outer time limit was the 1000th anniversary of David's death (which theologians always date 7 years too early, for they misread 1 Kings 6:1, and instead go with Josephus). The Bible says David was king for 40 years, and that he became king at age 30. Josephus says David died at age 70. So that would mean David did not live even a year, after his abdication/retirement in favor of Solomon. So 1 Kings 1-5 chronicles David living 7 more years after he stopped being king, and then three more years after his death, must all be a complete mystery, huh. Oh well.

This reserving of two 7s, was depicted in the Hebrew meter of Psalm 90, and Isaiah plays off it.

But when Daniel 9:26 played to finish Messiah, it got cut short by 7 because Israel rejected Christ (so His 40 years' as King to parallel David, got cut to 33) . The second 7 is reserved in Daniel 9:27. So the first reserved one played from 64-70 AD (66-73 AD, by some other accountings). So Daniel 9:26's prediction of the razing of the Temple, still happened as forecast -- but with a double 7. There's one 7 remaining: the Tribulation

See, the Tribulation belongs to Israel, never Church, so Church cannot be in it. It's an accounting promise, made back when there might not have even been a Church. So you can prove the accounting balances, so it's not even remotely possible that Church is in Tribulation; nor is it remotely possible that Tribulation or Millennium are figurative /allegorical / fulfilled, etc. Numbers can't lie. Numbers can be audited for balance. Do it or do not, as you choose. Especially, numbers which are crafted based on God's Orchestration Rules for Time, as Moses showed in his Hebrew Meter of Psalm 90.

So you'd think with all the near-Mistrial Verdicts which almost prevented His First Advent, He'd play it safe once He got here. Oh no. For when Israel rejected Him, what does He do? Oh! The Lord announced Matthew 16:18, knowing that He was creating The Greatest Potential For A Mistrial, by promising New Evidence Which Didn't Yet Exist: Church. Us! Think about that for a minute. Evidence tampering flavor #2, claiming evidence which doesn't exist or doesn't exist as represented. See the added potential for Mistrial the Lord caused? What, is He crazy? Satan must have mused.

Ahh, now to Precedence, again. See,

So Satan felt he had grounds for a Mistrial Verdict, since all the unconditional promises were bridged to the conditional one (Brideship); but the conditional one, was rejected! Look:

Compare Galatians 3:16's Greek with Genesis 12:7, Genesis 13:15, Genesis 15:5, Genesis 17:7, Genesis 21:12, Genesis 22:17, Genesis 26:3, Genesis 28:13, Genesis 28:14, in the LXX, because they all are translated as plurals, but Paul makes a stink about them being singular, Christ. And all these LXX verses use the singular neuter construction Paul's playing on in Galatians 3:16. Then look at the LXX of Isaiah 53:10, which also uses σπέρμα in the singular neuter. Boy, look what happens when we don't read our Bibles. You can't see the Legal Bridge problem, if you don't know that Seed is singular. Just one Bridge, Christ!

However, Matthew 16:18, Christ As The Bedrock announced He'd build the Church on Himself -- all heaven must have shouted wildly when they heard that! ("ἐπὶ ταύτῃ τῇ Πέτρᾳ", not the diminutive "πέτρος"! 🤣 Never on Peter (= "πέτρος" in that verse, a chip), why won't people read the Greek!)

This was a huge surprise. It's tantamount to winning the Super Bowl in the last three seconds of a tied game by the most spectacular running touchdown in the history of American football. And you had good seats! Or, pick what you would consider the most stupendous event you could witness, which you would forever cherish the most as a "you had to be there" memory. All history is rescued at this moment, when He says Matthew 16:18 -- but at an incalculable extra cost -- to Him. You and I would flat not be here, absent Matthew 16:18.

God decreed to create. That's a complete cost. All care for creation is something only God can do, so it's a forever-commitment, a forever-burden. So think: Now This One In His Humanity effectively authorizes a Carte Blanche Creation -- Which He must, in His humanity, Pay for On the Cross -- in advance! Unseen!

That's His Legacy for us, too. We are to be developed into Kings -- in advance! It's a present-value-of-dividends concept. And thus we are made to 'pay' for our kingdoms in advance. Brideprice concept. It's not hyperbole, and obviously only the Holy Spirit can produce the requisite capital and in advance! That's why Hebrews 11:1 reads so dramatically in Greek. Isaiah 53:10-12 is the contract it references. For it's not what you are to 'do' -- 🤣, all the works on the planet can't produce a Divinely-Thinking person -- it's what you are to become. In Your Soul. Soul Size big enough to House a Kingdom of souls. Forever. Hint Hint -- He became "The Way the Truth and the Life". How? By Matthew 4:4, living on the Word. So if you live on the Word, what must you become? Hint hint!

You realize, of course that His Voluntary Added Commitment here, ups the ante for the Cost of the Cross beyond reckoning. Billions upon billions upon billions of added sins! You'd have to be God to even calculate its added value. Will completely change the way you look at the meaning of your life. Validly. You are evidence!

Okay, but how is His Election in Matthew 16:18, Legally Justifiable? Why isn't it an abuse of Justice to suddenly claim New Evidence -- especially, since it admittedly does not yet exist (will build, not have built)? Wouldn't that require a Mistrial Verdict? As Seed, Pioneer, Chief Trial Witness ("Ἀρχηγός" in Hebrews 12:2), Christ had the Right to make this choice: but He must successfully pay for it. He also had precedence. When Israel rejected God at the Exodus, God offered another Trial Witness, Moses -- to wipe out all of Israel and start over with Moses only, Deuteronomy 9:14, Numbers 14:12. Moses refused, in order to save Israel. David ended up getting a similar offer, in 2 Samuel 7. David had to accept it to save Israel, since at that point Israel had rejected God as king, in favor of a human king. So God raises up a human king, and makes to him the same offer as made to Moses, on the grounds of Israel's rejection. David accepted.

So now in Matthew 16:18, the Lord invoked that precedence -- again, to save Israel. It must have been ironic to Him during Passion Week, that He Himself would be wrongly convicted and sent to the Cross via seven mistrials, just like Isaiah 53:8 says. Here He is, invoking precedence, creating New Evidence Which Doesn't Yet Exist so He Must Pay For Them (us!) In Advance, and He knows all that -- but He's convicted seven times on no evidence, though so many were bribed?! The Seven Trials were: before Annas, then Caiaphas, then full Sanhedrin (Saturday-Sunday); then Pilate #1(Sunday), Herod (Monday-Tuesdays), Pilate #2 (Tuesday), (Wednesday, the day of the Crucifixion) Flogging/Public Acclamation. See "#4. Postscripts on the Seven Trials, the Resurrection, and the First-Fruits application to Church" for a synopsis. Took four days -- following Passover 10-14 Nisan rules exactly, but the Jewish calendar had not been intercalated that year, as Bible stresses -- so Passion Week did not transpire like any movie on it, why don't people do their Bible homework!

Yes, it's exactly analogous to the book of Esther, which is why from Matthew 16 onward (through Matthew 24) you find the Esther theme (i.e., parable of the banquet, Matthew 22). For a Witness is always allowed to speak freely, to Testify in His Own Free Will, To Commit Himself. Coercion is not allowed. But Cross Examination (pun intended) is allowed. And He voted for it. Much higher stakes, therefore.

So much higher status, too. The Lord has many titles. Each one is real, not ceremonial. Many ownerships. Had there been no Church, He would have all the world ruler titles, Israel would be his Bride, but -- not at the same level as Church gets, for Israel had to agree before He finished the Cross. Moreover, having elected Church He's paying a lot more than He would have. So needs a Title to go with that Higher Payment. So that raises His Payment for us even higher, for if He is promoted and we don't yet exist, then we have to be made bigger to go with His Promotion. So not only is the payment for untold billions of extra sins unbelievably higher, but the funding for what we are changed into in order to "fit" Him must also be paid.

So this is a big deal. Hence pre-Cross, you'll see the Christ's expanded Approval of the added cost expressed, in John 17 (the "those who believe in their word" clause near the beginning of the prayer, and especially in John 17:20-21). In that prayer, He gives Father carte blanche to ordain as many souls as Father is willing to do, and expressing His Will to pay for all of them. Far bigger price than initially. Now you know why Ephesians 5 talks about Christ and Church as Husband and Wife. And This Husband, is King of Kings. So we have to be a Royal Bride, not merely a Bride. Israel was to be a Bride and priest nation. We have to be Royal Bride and at a higher level. We have to become a federation of kingdoms. Which requires enough of us to be made kings. That's why the Lord vs. Satan is so long. Strange how every Christian knows He's King of Kings, yet we know nothing about the Kingship Training Purpose of our Royal Spiritual Life. Satan smacks his lips! 😈😘

Again, in Discovery, the opposition must have advance opportunity to refute any new evidence/witnesses before introduction into court. Opposition must agree to the evidence being submitted. Satan agreed prior to Matthew 16:18 -- he couldn't refute the precedence of Moses and David, and in fact such precedence favored him (narrowing the range of targets) -- here it seemed like Christ was committing Himself to an even greater folly. For Church has a higher standard to meet, since Christ would be completed prior to its existence ("I will build" clause in Matthew 16:18). That Higher Standard, is to be like Christ himself, Ephesians 4:13. Israel's Brideship Promise was a lower standard, a priest nation. But for Bride post-Cross, there would have to be king-Priests, not merely priests. Because at His Completion, He would be King of Kings. Well, then Kings need to be produced!

If Israel failed the lower standard, and even its kings failed eventually, 586 BC -- and we are all human, so we'd have failed, too -- then how is it possible that Church will have kings? Do you see how Satan must feel? This should be a no-brainer, slam dunk to garner a Mistrial Verdict! So that's why he agreed Matthew 16:18 could be introduced as new evidence, a commitment by a Witness (valid there), based on precedence (valid there but ouch -- Moses should have accepted, and David should have refused), and best of all -- not remotely possible that this "Church" will develop enough Kings, so then the Promise will Fail! Pigs will fly before that happens! 🐷

Much more expensive Cross, then. Because we will be Church post-Cross, we have to be developed to His Level, Ephesians 4:13. A King should never marry beneath himself; dishonors his inheritance, to do so. We are not the same spiritual species as other believers, 2 Corinthians 5:17's καινὴ κτίσις. Hence we are all Royal Spiritual Species to match Our Husband, that first nanosecond we 'do' John 3:16. That's why this world and its wants will never fulfill you. Only living in God's System will fulfill you. Even as, it fulfilled Christ Himself. We are truly mated in spiritual nature, now.

As a result of our higher nature and the Holy Spirit's Training us in God's System, no human attribute counts. Smarts don't help. Dumbness doesn't hinder. Holy Spirit's brains are given without measure (John 7:39). So yeah, study one's brains out, a King must be trained to think. Priest thinking toward Father means Thinking Training! And you can have an IQ of room temperature on a cold Chicago day; you can be handicapped, an invalid, anything you consider an impediment to learning -- and it makes no difference. God can teach you. Just want to learn Him. That's how great is our spiritual life. Even pigs can fly.

So this Matthew 16:18 is a big deal: we'd not even be breathing, else. And its impetus, its precedence, is Israel's rejection of her own (lower) Bridal contract. So yes, because He approved paying for us, there could be more witnesses, and thus a Bridal Bridge despite Israel's rejection, so to rescue her: but the Chief Witness agreed In Advance, to pay. Hence the Matthew 16:18 Bride-Price Contract of "Upon This Bedrock" -- pointing to Himself -- "I will build My Church" -- clever analogy to how Isha was built for Adam -- is much bigger. So the Bride's Dowry (from Father) must be much bigger, too. Groom paid in advance, this time. So is due yield. The sheer genius of Bible even extends to matching case sex. In Isaiah 53:10's Hebrew, "tasim asham" switches to female, contract to be a Substitute (red heifer) offering for sin. Here in Matthew 16:18, "Bedrock" is female noun Πέτρα, and of course so is "church" (ἐκκλησία). So He's incorporating the אָשָׁם "asham" reference of the eternity past contract with Father, into this verse, and of course in both places, He is the 'female' offering, but נַפְשׁוֹ (naphesho) -- His soul -- is male (in Isaiah 53:10). Do you get it? The female was built בָּנָה (banah) from the male (Isha, from Adam's rib). So we are built from the Bedrock-mothering of Christ, which Isaiah keeps on repeating with unending wit, in Isaiah 53 (i.e., using מִן (min) preposition, verb עָנָה (anah), culminating in the victory shout of Isaiah 54:1)! Oh, what Divine Wit! Blows me away, our Bible!

Satan's Mistrial Strategy Key: We Church are a Promised Group, which Christ bought before we existed, and which Father approved on the Cross, by imputing and judging all of our sins on Christ. So now it's a question of whether this Discovery given, will pan out as advertised (prophesied). If not, then it's a Mistrial! It would be "evidence tampering" if evidence is claimed which does not exist; Christ fully paid for Church before it existed. So if it doesn't complete, then some of the Discovery (AKA prophecy) claiming it as "evidence" would be a lie, since some of that "evidence" never comes to exist. Hence, a Mistrial would have to be declared.

As noted above, this Mistrial claim has been made many times. Many near misses. So now, it's a real question of whether Church -- His Body, get it? -- will be born. Dicey question, that. Christian apostasy hit the Revelation 17 standard beginning in the year John wrote that chapter, 96 AD. Excepting a local country's generation (or two) every couple centuries (and especially since 1830), it's been very bad, ever since. Massive efforts to roll out the manuscripts of Bible began circa 1830. So interest in Bible peaked like never before. No wonder, then, that atheism and all manner of God-debunking ideas also peaked like never before, beginning about the same time.

In short, the stakes are much higher, now, for Christ has paid for creation which didn't even yet exist. So a prepayment made, but not yet delivered on, and the Judge in the Trial not only agreed to this prepayment, but imputed and judged His Own Son for it? Whoa -- patent Mistrial Verdict, if not achieved. No way around it: if this Bride doesn't complete, then Father violated a contract with His Own Son (John 17). So the Judge would have to be disqualified. No way around a Mistrial Verdict, then. Satan smacks his lips.

Worse, we Church have the Most Impossible Spiritual Standard ever given. Satan really ought to be winning, so his Revelation 17 success is understandable. For look: Paul calls our Church age the Completion of all the "Ages" (1 Corinthians 10:11, Ephesians 1:10 and Ephesians 3:21, usually mistranslated; other verses too). Meaning, the highest of all the covenantal groups in history. Being the Body of Christ, we dang well better be the highest, or Father is cheating His Son and it would be -- a Mistrial! Seems like no matter where one turns, a Mistrial Verdict is right around the corner.

For note the dual dilemma about the Rapture and Satan's best-ever chance to manipulate it into a Mistrial Verdict. First Dilemma: a prepayment for souls which didn't yet even exist, means Time Must continue long enough so those souls can be born and grow up. As we saw with the 490-year Time Grants, from Adam forward Time has always been a contingency, based on a few positive believers; at the same time, those negative can in effect cause time to halt. At some point, you can just pull out the positive ones (i.e., Noah, precedence for Rapture) and leave behind those hating you. But also, if the haters are too many, too deep -- just end Time itself. Nearly happened many times, already.

So what if, like Israel did, Church believers vote for Satan, not God? After all, they have been, nearly 100% even. Then time will end (Rapture, here)! But it hasn't, huh. Again, remember the Trial basis is about results, not numbers of bodies per se. The body-count issue has to do with how Father kits out eternal polities. But only One Person paid for all sins, so only a few Witnesses are needed to prove all God's points in the Trial. Only a few Rulers are really needed, too (GOD's GAAP Balancing: How MANY Believers with Diamond-Doctrine "bucks", 'ripen' Church? covers the numbers). God's not a bureaucrat. So maybe it only takes a handful of believers who grow a lot, to make up for the non-growth of millions. That's been the pattern since Adam, after all.

Second Dilemma: once these souls are born, they must: a) become believers, and b) enough of them must be spiritually developed into Kings, so that the polities of the Eternal State, will be properly kitted out. For if eternal freedom, then happiness depends on a synergistically-balanced hierarchical society (literal, system, Greek word ἑνότης) of Divine Thinking, Ephesians 4:13 + Ephesians 4:16. But what if time must end too soon due to too many believer votes for Satan, before a) and especially b), complete? Takes time to want God and believe in the Gospel; takes even more time, to grow up to the Stature of the Maturity of Christ (Our Matthew 4:4 Standard in Ephesians 4:13). See the problem?

Look: the Rapture -- Matthew 25:10 parable of the virgins, plus ταχύ and "thief" clauses, etc. -- could have happened in Paul's day (Philippians 3:11, 1 Thessalonians 4, Ephesians 6, 2 Thessalonians 2, scolding); in Peter's day (2 Peter 3:4-11); in John's day (1 John 2:26-3:2). It's a question of what kits out a perfect polity, spiritually. As time passes, and more immature believers reject God's plan, the needs for kitting-out, grow bigger. More kings are needed. So if the Rapture must come due to too many negative believers, and hence no more Time Grants can be offered -- then the necessary complement of kings won't be completed. It's a real risk. God will never gerrymander free will.

Note how clever:

Satan's not stupid. He really thinks he's trapped God, here, since we believers don't vote for God, but for Satan.

Arching over this Mistrial Risk we still have that Sword of Damocles, the sudden-death, 490-year Contingency Time Grant Deadline!

This, in fact, will trigger the Rapture: at some point, no more time can be granted, just like Daniel 9 was the end of Time. See, Church is Inserted Time. It's not even promised like Israel's time was. Ending for Church is therefore not date-predicted. But the cause for the ending of Time is exactly the same as in Daniel 9. For there, look: the First Temple was granted 490 years -- but as we saw earlier, its time got cut short by 126 years. We also saw that due to Israel rejecting Christ, His Own Allotted Time was shortened by 7 years. So even when a grant is issued, that doesn't guarantee time will continue. Satan's avid about ending time beforehand, as the GeneYrs.xls events historically demonstrate. So past is prologue.

Again, the more you vote for Satan's plan, the more like him you become. Well, traditionally over 99.9% of Christianity votes for Satan's Brother-Foot fake spiritual substitute of works. By the end of their lives, that's the only thinking they have, and their souls are saturated with legalism and pettiness. They are spiritual children, not mature Kings. So they aren't developed in Word Thinking, to become kings, but instead fancy they are, 1 Corinthians 4:8. So the kings aren't sufficient in number for the Church to Complete. But instead, the bad reason for the Rapture still remains the more probable (parallel to the Flood, as the Lord explained in Matthew 24, also 2nd half of 2 Peter). So if the bad reason must be invoked and the good reason (Kings completion) is not true at that point -- it's a Mistrial.

So what do we know? We know that the value of living in God's System is extreme. What the Holy Spirit can do to make you like Christ with each moment you live in it. For if He could with the Quality of His Thinking pay for all sins in human history in but three hours, then surely His Thinking going into one saved soul, 'buys' much. Pleasure to Infinite God is of infinite value. Word in you is of Infinite Quality. Cycling. Treasure in earthen vessel. So it doesn't matter if it's only one or a few vessels, does it. So you and I, well -- maybe only two are needed. Maybe only six. We vote yes in God's System, and the Holy Spirit, Who is of Infinite Value, works in us. So what must His Work, be worth? Infinity. So on a numbers basis, the likelihood of Church being recalled at the wrong time, seems nearly 100%. But hey: maybe only one person remains to be developed for Church Completion. If the Holy Spirit is of Infinite value, then it was One on the Cross. So it can be but one, Now. That's God's economics!

Look: God is Omnipotent. He doesn't have to restrict Himself. And my limitations don't matter, His do. Well, He has no limitations. So He can choose to bing me, or choose to make His Word run in me whenever and however. I just keep voting. While on the one hand there's a risk of Satan winning, on the other God can have whatever He wants at any 'time' He wants. So if He wants 1000 people developed in His Word, there's nothing to stop Him, is there.

Paul ties to this Our Trial Bridal Bridge purpose and standard, in 1 Corinthians 10:4; and all the Book of Ephesians explains how that Bride gets built to the new and higher standard of the very Maturity of Christ (Ephesians 4:13). Book of Hebrews elaborates on Ephesians, and then 1 John explains how your individual Trial Witness is to successfully play. Then finally, John wrote Revelation, so the believer in Church could see the aggregate finish to the play, a quadrilogy of Now (Church), Tribulation, Millennium and (fourth 'play'), Eternal State: typical Greek competitive drama format with Hebraistic links to Old Testament imagery after Chapter 3, since Plays #2 and #3, Tribulation and Millennium, are promised Israel.

Thus we know Satan's strategy for Mistrial Verdict, will not work. But it can. Meanwhile, where do you or I figure in? Will we end up vibrating lumps of coal, happy to be in a kingdom, 1 Corinthians 3:15, because we voted for Satan's Works Plan rather than God's Word Plan? Or will we end up Kings with kingdoms of our own with which to honor the Lord, because we lived in God's System all the way through to the Holy Spirit's completing our souls in Him (Ephesians 3:15-19, Ephesians 4:13, 2 Timothy 4:7-8)?


Rap the Rapture

There are two ways Church will end, shame and success: God has disclosed both being true when it does end. But not, the configuration. So Church can end due to Satan finagling a shameful diplomatic recall due to believer apostasy -- not balanced in the Ruler Complement. So God won't give Satan a date, as that would tamper with the configuration results, with the freedom of the Defense (God being the Prosecution). It's dramatized by "Balderdash", a fictional demon forecaster in the first chapter of Pleroma Day: Rapture!.

God thus only predicts that the balance (enough Rulers) will be accomplished. Never says when. For Satan also needs to be warned that his scheme won't work, even as he has always been warned, time and again. Of course, because God won't commit to a date (if He gave one, it's yet another Promise to keep) -- Satan thinks God is hiding a weakness. Poor guy, he never learns.

Oddly enough, Satan's Number One Goal in his tactical strategy against believers, is to mask and distort the Bible's doctrine about the Rapture. By doing so he best forestalls Church Completion. This was a complete surprise to me. Rapture has never been a doctrine which excites me; typical Christian looks at it like an action movie, and it's sold that way, so while the doctrine is true enough, the depictions are lurid and no intelligent person likes to consider them. So I couldn't understand for the longest time, why the New Testament harps so much on the Rapture, and why Satan & Co. Spent so much time right away -- debunking it. The only doctrine they attack more, is the Gospel. Why? What makes the doctrine about the Rapture so important, that knowing it is a threat? Sure seems to cause more spiritual problems than it solves. Well, for one thing, it is a threat to know God's out to make Kings; that He doesn't need too many, to justify calling for the Rapture. That could be motivating. One has a real shot at it, if the requisite number is few. And it is. In any generation, all the kings and all the needed people, could be completed. Yikes.

But here's the bigger payoff for Satan, and it's weird why it works. If you misapprehend the Rapture, you completely misdiagnose both the nature and the timing of the spiritual life. This inevitable misdiagnosis results in a supplanting false doctrine purchased of spiritual-life-by-works: that's Satan's side in the Trial. (Satan's side is all about good deeds for people, see Matthew 4.) For if you don't realize Rapture's imminency, you won't see either the Urgency or the Thinking Purpose of your King-in-Training Spiritual Life. As a result, you won't be voting for the Royal Training, since you'll be hustling in Brother-Foot stuff thinking that's 'spiritual'. Cute.

Satan's plan is to fool believers with Fake Temple and Fake Church and fake (or no or misdated) Rapture; thus he aims to delay or manipulate the Rapture to his advantage. He's been wildly successful, especially with his spin on Rapture (from Latin "rapto", derived from Vulgate mapped-to-KJV, in 1 Thessalonians 4:17). Christians routinely dismiss the doctrine entirely, treating Revelation as allegorical or already fulfilled; else they misdate it, put the Church in the Tribulation, and/or treat it as something they do to 'help' God; they use it as a preening badge, an escape hatch, an emotional thrill. "Feel the thrill" it says on the back of Left Behind (first book). So to claim the Rapture a 'thrill' is a type of voting for Satan: the correct doctrine and legal basis for the Rapture, are absent. So of course the Rapture is thus discredited, even by those who believe in it! I bought my copy of Left Behind from a thrift shop, so I don't know if other copies of that first book, contain the same advertising ploy today.

Hence the 'scholarship' on the Bible's Doctrine of the Rapture is generally pathetic. Some great strides were made toward the end of the 1800's, but people got too titillated, and now it's just another horror movie or bumper sticker, in Christian minds. So just like the "G" in Satan's "MEGA" Plan, people get their eyes on people. The intellectual looks down his nose at those goofy "Tribulationists", and the "Tribulationists" snub the intellectuals. So the latter don't study the Bible to learn what the Tribulation really means; and of course the former, won't look at something goofy people study. Heh. So now no one is looking at God's Word, huh. Satan's not stupid. He substitutes people for God, every chance he gets!

Of course, works are much more attractive than a prophecy of a sudden ending, huh. The alluring thing about works is that you get instant gratification, and you feel you've achieved something. By contrast, the real spiritual life progressively delays gratification. For it's not a magic thing. It's Training. Yes, it's supernatural. But it's Professional. Look: the spiritual life is like training to be a doctor, and the alleged-works version of 'spirituality' is like training to be a greeter at Walmart. So if you think your life is but works, you won't regard learning Bible as important. You'll memorize the Lord's prayer and make the right noises and sing how you love Jesus and will learn nothing. Moreover, thinking your works are buying you something with God, you'd not think you needed more training.

By contrast, if you knew you had a long-term Training to undergo which at any moment can get cut short due to the Rapture, you'd give that Training priority over everything else in your life. Word would become first, not just something you mouth on Sunday as a good luck charm. For you'd know you'd soon need that Word. Same thing, if you thought you would die tomorrow and you knew you'd be going to heaven. You'd want to read the Book which Tells You About The Place. It's funny how dying people always keep a Bible close. Is that what it takes? Well, how about learning the Rapture? You can die tomorrow. You can be raptured tomorrow, too (rapture means snatched up, not "oh how good I feel" 🤣). Same analogy. See how the immediacy of it changes the perspective? Just like the real possibility of dying! For it is!

Just think: internet Christians by the millions in group chats, forums, social media, YouTube (...) all chirp loud and long about how they love Jesus, and oh how bad sin is and oh how bad the atheist is and oh how nasty that girl who had an abortion and oh this and oh that and... oh what a huge bonfire there will be in 1 Corinthians 3's Bema, which can happen in the next five minutes! Burning up all their claptrap. They have zero interest in the Word. How can you prove it? They don't care what the Bible says in the original language texts, or they fake a knowledge about it! Really disgusting. Wouldn't you want to know what real words God had Moses write? What real words Christ spoke? Not them, they don't want to know, they just want to fake it! It was the same thing in secular high school and college. People only wanted good grades so they could have status. The actual learning, didn't matter to them. Anyone who really cared to learn something, was demeaned, as a "nerd".

Yeah, and Christ was the Biggest Nerd of All, Matthew 4:4. Okay, fine: then they can be distant from Him forever, even as they put a distance between learning His Word and their souls, Hebrews 11:6, John 4:23-24, John 17:17-21, Hebrews 4:11-12! Yeah, there's room for everyone at Father's Table, but how far away from the Head will you be, Luke 14? 'Faith' is what is believed, in Greek. What is believed, is Bible. So the entire test is on what you learned and what you believed. And if you didn't learn Bible as it was written, then you didn't learn it. A good 50% of the meaning is lost in translation; sometimes as much as 80% is lost. So what you believed, was partly Bible, and partly your imagination. Oops!

Notice next how rejection, distortion, or trivialization of any Bible Doctrine, Acts like a virus, and eventually wipes out all the other Doctrine you know. Just like viral RNA, attaching at first to other Bible doctrines which have some 'trait' in common. Then, replicating and mutating, such that a wider variety of 'traits' will become compatible, and hence attachable. That's how a virus takes over your body, and that's how rejection / distortion / trivialization of Bible, take over your soul. Deadly. Insidious. And you can't see the devastation, until it's almost too late.

Watch: the Rapture is viewed by people who reject / distort / trivialize it, as being a spectacular, supernatural, horrible thing happening in the future on earth. You can't find a Bible documentary or movie which doesn't stress the action-movie nature of the political machinations, the cataclysms. And no one covers why it happens, what's the precedence, Biblically. Only what happens, oooohhhhh mankind is such a bad boy, we're Christians so we are better than them, because we get Raptured and they don't. Yuck. So the supernaturality as an action is thus stressed -- and mindlessly, since the why is not covered.

Now watch this deft transition to derail one's spiritual life completely: the Filling of the Spirit is supernatural, too. In fact, you can't live the spiritual life, without Him. He's Your Holy Breath. So most people react or respond to what, regarding the Rapture? Its supernaturality. So now all Bible doctrines which relate to supernaturality are vulnerable to the same virus of goofy interpretation or outright rejection (etc). So it won't be too long, before the rejector, stops using 1 John 1:9. Then he's hors de combat, (literal, outside the combat theatre, no longer able to fight), no longer a potential Trial Witness for God's side. Such a person is spiritually comatose, so on Satan's side. Clever, huh.

It's quite uncanny that those who reject the Rapture the most, also most misrepresent the Gospel; also reject 1 John 1:9. By contrast, those most accepting the Rapture, are also most accurate in giving the Gospel, and also most accepting of 1 John 1:9; many of them actually use it. I've tested the foregoing claim time and again, searched the internet. These three doctrines hang together: Rapture, Gospel, and 1 John 1:9. Well, without the Gospel, you're not saved; without 1 John 1:9, you have no spiritual life at all. The Rapture helps you orient to Time, and gives you a real sense of scheduling. So those rejecting it, don't have a sense of time, don't have a spiritual life, and maybe aren't even saved. Moreover, Legalism is extreme in the rejectors. They are so busy hustling for god (really Satan) they don't have any time to think. It's so bafflingly tragic. John 3:16 is plain. But these people add verbs. 1 John 1:9 is plain. But these people deny it, or add verbs, penance, all kinds of goofy stuff. Many among them think that after you are a "Christian" you never sin again, too. Weird!

Test the above paragraph; survey people or look around on the internet, see if you too find a direct correlation. There's a whole lot of debunking of 1 John 1:9 on the internet, really surprising since the text is so obvious even in translation. Again: you're either getting God's Thinking or Satan's at any moment by your own choice. And if you're not choosing 1 John 1:9, you're choosing Satan's thinking. My pastor made such a stink about 1 John 1:9 day in and day out for decades, I sometimes skipped Bible class, tired of the repetition. What a fool I was! 1 John 1:9 saves your life. Don't neglect it.

So... Rap the Rapture, Retire the Christian, traces the inner spiritual denouement of rejection. So 1 John 5:16 ends up routine, and the Christian never even makes it into the Trial docket. Again, during Discovery, the opposition has a right to refute the admission of evidence. If the evidence doesn't pass refutation in Discovery, it doesn't go into court. 99.9% of Christians therefore have no testimony, except on Satan's side. And Satan only introduces them to accuse them, and order their 1 John 5:16 capital punishment -- on his timing, of course. It's strange that of all doctrines, rejecting the Rapture ends up being such a catalyst of spiritual denouement.

When atheists on YouTube explain their 'de-conversion' from being a 'devout Christian', they invariably and unwittingly testify that: a) they were in an apostate, legalistic form of Christianity which they thought valid; b) they didn't use 1 John 1:9 or even know about it; c) they didn't believe in the Rapture, or had a goofy version believed. Often, they never even got the Gospel right, thinking you had to 'invite Christ into my heart' or other fake gospel trash. No wonder they de-converted! They never had a functioning spiritual life!

Your average Christian will end up an atheist by the time he dies. Or, insane. And Satan knows this. So to debunk the Rapture by denying it, or selling it as a 'thrill' -- is key to derailing Christians. With devastating success!

Historically, Rapture was gradually discarded by the end of the 2nd century AD; and funny -- that's when the Revelation 17 harlot entrenched, too. Thus apostatizing Christendom for centuries.

Go in chronological order by book date, not in New Testament order. Matthew 24 should be bold enough even in English, drawing parallel between the Second Advent which people can see and predict, versus the unpredictable Rapture. Mark's Gospel (circa 68 AD) uses "εὐθύς" to show the rejection of Rapture (his writing style is very sarcastic, drawing parallel to the apostate audience getting his Gospel and the apostate Jews who crucified Christ); 2 Peter's "slowness" scolding, Paul's scolding in 1 Corinthians 4 and 2 Thessalonians 2, 2 John's scolding, Luke's portrayal of the Jerusalem Church in Acts, Hebrews 5:11-6:12, 10:15ff, are all Rapture Warning passages. (There are more, but these came quickly to mind.)

Paul gets quite caustic with the Thessalonians and the Corinthians over their legalism, using the urgency of the Rapture to light a fire under them. All of Mark's Gospel stresses the imminency of the Rapture using the refrain, "εὐθύς" (usually translated "immediately").

Whole Book of Hebrews is based on the supposition that since the Temple will soon be destroyed, maybe the Rapture will come then. Peter stresses Rapture urgency too, in the last half of 2 Peter (illustration of Noah). According to God's Rules for Time which the Jews then knew, Abraham matured 54 years early; 14 of those years got used up to build the Second Temple; so a 40-year 'credit' remained. So everyone expected the Temple to be destroyed in 70 AD. When Paul was executed by Nero in 68 AD with Nero dying shortly thereafter, the siege of Jerusalem suddenly gained priority, as it was the Year of the Four Emperors.

John also uses the Rapture as the underpinning of his letter, with the twin themes of "antichrists" and "if he should appear" 1 John 3:1-2, and Bema reference in 1 John 4:17. Of course, Revelation 4:1 is the Rapture, and John wrote it.

So much focus on the Rapture in Bible, means believer misunderstanding of the Rapture was a key reason for Christian failure in the spiritual life, even back then. So it's a problem now.

In the Old Testament, the problem was the same: Messiah's First Arrival was exactly predicted, by Haggai 2's ending; yet people weren't motivated to prepare, either.

Since Genesis, we've always had a problem with His Coming, so it's not only the Rapture's version which discomfits us. Satan exploits this. Note how all God's covenants form a connected whole, spoking around the Trial basis of whether you vote for God or Satan, based on what you know or don't know.

See? No matter how God explains, how He crafts the covenants, we don't care about Him or His Son. He must be Absolute Love, then, to go to so much trouble, and the Evidence of what happens to souls who believe in Him, proves that. End of Trial.

Summation, per Hebrews 11:1, Hebrews 11:6, Hebrews 11:39-40 (all verses are mistranslated):

    1. We are here to train to become Kings For Father.
    2. That Training, changes our souls.
    3. That change in our souls, forms our testimony in the Unseen Trial going on in Heaven.
    4. Which Trial, might end at any second or a thousand years from now, since we don't know what other souls are 'testifying'.
    5. So do we want to complete our Lifetime of Training before the Rapture occurs?
    6. So functionally, every breath is about voting to get in and stay in God's System.
    7. Hence the need for 1 John 1:9 like breathing, to avoid spiritual apnea and
    8. A Mistrial Verdict.

See Hebrews 11:1 Mistranslation Issues for proof of Hebrews 11:1's mistranslation.

So our testimony is to God, not people. Then, to angels (and presumably dead believers); and only rarely, to people down here. For if people down here aren't hearing God the Holy Spirit, how will they want to hear puny you? Just the opposite of what 'conventional' Christianity supposes. Sure, to-people witnessing is important: but you must do it sparingly, like the Lord did in the Gospels. For if it's spiritual, it's Vertical, never horizontal. From God, to you: you have no brains at all, if not His, Ephesians 4:23. Then 1 John 1:9 breathed, "spiritual" means exhaled toward God, not toward people. Trial issue is just like the Garden (1 John's theme): do you choose God over people, or people over God? So you are being heard by Father every second, and due to the Trial, unseen angels (and I'd guess dead believers, if angels) are watching to learn more about Him via you.

"Hastening the Day of the Lord" (2 Peter 3:11-12), therefore means a dedicated-to-God lifestyle (2 Peter 3:11's ὑπάρχειν... εὐσεβείαις), hence completing this Training; not, what you do for people. Yet notice how you do the most for people, if you complete the Training. For the sooner the Kings get completed, the sooner the Rapture will occur. Believer votes in Training, not stupid drooling over historical events which always look just like prophecy. Because, duh -- they are supposed to look just like prophecy in every generation. Because any generation is supposed to be the Rapture generation. Now you know why.

  1. Satan sponsors religion as his alternative plan for the human race, Genesis 3, Revelation 17. You can test and prove the identity of Satan & Co. Strategies; they advertise their authorship and sponsorship by word games and satire against the Bible, no matter what holy book and religion they sponsor. The spoofing God is Not a Magic Doll gives you a great synopsis of religious goofiness -- which promotes a magic-based relationship with God -- so you can see the satirical religious derision played by Satan & Co. On all of us, no exceptions.

Matthew 4 really tells you the whole story: Satan is the quintessential religious person, so all those temptations were to-people good deeds temptations. The Lord would have sinned by doing good deeds! Fake Church is depicted in Revelation 17, and it's the political activism, the religiosity, the mammonish attitude of big-is-better, earthly measures of 'holiness' which characterise Satan's counterfeit of Christianity. Which counterfeit you can see play 24/7, every time you turn on some 'Christian' station or listen to the inanities of the 'Christian' right. Every webpage thus has some running subtheme about this Fake Church which passes itself off as the 'body of christ' (small letters, since Christ has nothing to do with it, His Name only being mouthed, not learned). Again, if you're under my pastor, get the tapes on Satanology, Genesis, Ephesians, Revelation. The latter two series are very long (Revelation is four years, Ephesians, seven years). Exegesis of nearly every verse is provided. Lessons 800 and following of 1992 Spiritual Dynamics upgrade those earlier series to show how Matthew 4 was played against the Lord. You'll see how Satan thinks, and why religion is -- as my pastor likes to say -- "the devil's ace trump." The term "ace trump" is the highest, most powerful card in Contract Bridge. You can look up Contract Bridge on the internet.

Essentially religion Reverses God to make Him 'foreign', so you end up worshipping a non-existent idol. This is done derisively, with as much imbalance (of truth and emotion) as possible, with as much obfuscation (clouding) as possible, resulting in substitution of the 'foreign' idol yet with the name of "God" still slapped on (which conveniently violates the Third Commandment). No where does Satan practice this "DIOS" plan better, than by stripping out the proper meaning from the very Word of God, leaving only a holy-sounding shell. You can classify Satan's strategy and tactics with the moniker "DIOS": a foreign god, making God 'foreign' to us, a 'language' we can't read. "D" means "Derision"; "I", Imbalance, "O" Obfuscation, and "S", Substitution. Derisively Imbalance understanding so to Obfuscate and Substitute, what's God's Word, for what's Satan's word. Works every time, too. Essentially the meaning of the Word is stripped out and replaced with morality, emotion, gross sin, and apathetic ideas of God. But the 'shell' of the Word, is left intact: so you think you 'know' the real Bible, since you're mouthing translated words in "The Bible". But you don't know it at all. It's now foreign to you, having been mistranslated in a foreign-to-God's Original-Language Texts. Clever, huh. Superhuman, provably. But not from God.

  1. Mistranslation, misuse, and misidentification of what's "Bible", together constitute Satan & Co.'s favored attack-Word plan against the human race. They therefore sponsor a religious spin on Bible teaching and translation; so when you read Bible, you get the impression it's about religion and works. But that's a blasphemous lie: which lie you can prove, from the original language texts God Himself had written. Almost every video I do, focuses on Bible mistranslation, to show how Satan plays these games. Point is to see with your own eyes, the massive effort Satan & Co. Mount in every generation, to make the Word of God, 'foreign' to us.

Learning all this took some years, was one heckuva surprise. I wasn't looking for demon boy games. I was looking for Doctrine about God. Well, part of the Doctrine about God is that the demon boys play satirical games against Bible, especially in Bible translation. What a surprise. So, every webpage will show Bible mistranslations. I didn't learn Bible in translation, so I always have to account for a verse by correcting what you will find. So after correcting hundreds of verses, I began to see a pattern of mistranslation. Some patterns were demonstrably of human origin (covering over Bible's many X-rated words). Most patterns were way too smart for humans, i.e. making a verse in mistranslation, malign God -- and yet the translator didn't catch on? You just know he'd not do it on purpose.

It's the strategically precise (and rather witty) mistranslation or misreading, not just any ol' mess up, which alerts you to demonic obfuscating involvement. We just saw a short example, where the first five chapters of 1 Kings show David very much retired and alive, then dying, then three years ensue, and you know by 1 Kings 6:1 it's really the 11th year of Solomon -- but the 4th year, since David. It's the 480th year since the Exodus, and David became King in the 430th year after the Exodus. So he died at 77, can't mistake it. But everyone does! See? So the entire Bible timeline can't be balanced, and of course the Bible -- not Josephus or the scholars, perish the thought! -- must be wrong! Of course 1 Kings 6:1 should be dismissed as a "scribal error" -- not scholar error in reading the plain text of the first five chapters! Honestly, the commentaries on the verse make you want to puke. See? We're cannon fodder for Satan & Co. If we are outside God's System. Degrees and prestigious titles won't protect us.

The patterns of mistranslation occur in definite, predictable categories: verses related to sex, money, grace, God's being the Sole Actor (not man), God's anti-works position, the Holy Spirit's sole empowering role -- these are usually reversed in translation, versus what the original text says. A short example of mistranslation which specializes in slapstick derision of God, is in About Bible Mistranslation. Every verse in Bible is somewhere mistranslated; sometimes the errors are small (i.e., not translating "bara" as "created from nothing", in Genesis 1:1). Sometimes the errors are catastrophic (i.e., portraying the Holy Spirit as a sinner, in James 4:5). Not even possible that humans would intend to do that. So it's someone clouding us, century after century. Same exact patterns of clouding, too: DIOS!

If not reversed in translation, Bible verses are reversed in Bible teaching. Same exact DIOS pattern, and you'd have to be a demon knowing well the original language texts, to so deftly and derisively reverse what Bible says. We're all pawns of Satan & Co., and the only defense is to get in and stay in God's System. It's awesome, and it's gone on for centuries, so you know man is not capable of being the real agent for all this long misuse of God's Word. Satan & Co. Tap our arrogances, especially our religious arrogances. So that's how they get away with it. We'll soon see a glaring example in Matthew 16:18, two paragraphs below.

Look: it's easy for us Christians to see how the Koran is derisive and slapstick; to see how Greek myths and the myriad of third-world polytheisms (i.e., voodooism), are silly. But it's not easy for Muslims and the third-worlders to see that. It's easy to read 2 Nephi in the Book of Mormon and realize the Holy Spirit didn't write it, since clearly He'd not command a murder, then command the murderer to dress up in the victim's clothes and imitate the dead man's voice just like the ἐγγαστρίμυθος demon does. So we dismiss the Book of Mormon. But Mormons don't. Now think: these people have real souls that really think and they're generally very moral! So how can they be so duped, century after century? If they are duped -- aren't we?

So when one is used to regarding a mistranslation or tenet based on a mistranslation, or a tenet that flat contradicts Bible as nonetheless true (I mean, there aren't three days between Friday and Sunday, everyone knows that) -- it's not so easy to accept that we are being just as derided, as the Muslims, Mormons, and third-worlders. But we are. Same exact 'rhetorical style' in mistranslation and mis-teaching, as in all those obviously slapstick presentations of God. Wow, we now need a big example of our being so duped, huh.


Mistranslation Leads to Derisive, Blasphemous Misuse: Example of Matthew 16:18

Matthew 16:18

κἀγὼ δέ σοι λέγω ὅτι σὺ εἶ πέτρος, καὶ ἐπὶ ταύτῃ τῇ Πέτρᾳ οἰκοδομήσω μου τὴν ἐκκλησίαν, καὶ πύλαι ᾅδου οὐ κατισχύσουσιν αὐτῆς.

And I say to you: that you are pebble, and upon this Bedrock I will build my Church, and the gates of hades will not overpower it.

I did many videos on this verse. Tracing how the Catholic blasphemy got produced, took time. Basically they transliterated Greek πέτρος to make it into a Latin noun with an adjectival form so one could easily confuse Πέτρα in Greek with πέτρος, thinking they were the same word.

As part of the KVJO-Blasphemy, I also covered Matthew 16:18. Here are those two videos:

Matthew 16:18 is provably based on christ, not Peter. "Πέτρα" is used in Matthew 16:18, and is a famous term in the LXX (Old Testament in ancient Greek, used by the Lord and the apostles). "Πέτρα" is used 104 times in the Bible, according to my search on the manuscripts in BibleWorks; most of these are in the LXX. Each time, it refers directly or indirectly to the Rock of Our Salvation, but the kind of Rock it is, is mistranslated. Πέτρα means a kind of bedrock like the type which characterizes a cliff. So it comes to mean hiding in Christ, and is used that way in the LXX and in the New Testament. It came therefore to signify the bedrock center of the Holy of Holies; so means Christ, never Peter. All you need do is search on "Πέτρα" (in all its morphologies) to see this. Took me maybe half an hour.

Now: also in Matthew 16:18, you find the word "πέτρος", and that is the word used to signify Peter's name (male gender noun, versus Πέτρα, which is female noun). The Lord merely states Peter's Aramaic name (Kephas) in Greek: meaning, a mere chip off the Πέτρα, Christ Himself. It's a beautiful way to say Peter is in Christ. Peter loves making allusions to that quote in his letters, constantly using ὑπό-prefixes, calling his audience "λίθοι" -- pebbles God votes and writes on, just like him.

So the first error, is that Πέτρα is mistranslated as "Rock", when it should have been rendered, "Bedrock". Those are two very different words in English. Now watch how that mistranslation, leads to misuse.

So in Matthew 16:18, Christ talks about Himself not Peter ("πέτρος" in the verse), when He says "On this Πέτρα ("BedRock") I will build My Church". You absolutely cannot mistake it in the Greek. Coupled with the word οὗτος, which when used alone in the New Testament is a pointing device, you know Christ is pointing at Himself (literal, "this one"); it's often used by a speaker to designate himself impersonally, in the Gospels (maybe in Old Testament also, I didn't check). So why can't you find even one 'Christian' documentary which doesn't claim that "Rock" means Peter? The Greek words πέτρος and Πέτρα are not the same words or gender, and ταῦτα ("this one") modifies Πέτρα, not "πέτρος". This is first-grade Greek. There's no excuse. So the only way you can misread it is in translation. Which is quite misleading. Takes a lot of arrogance to make that claim, especially since everyone knows Christ is the Rock (i.e., 1 Corinthians 10:4). No scholar should ever make that claim. It's dishonest to the text. See how Satan & Co. Can cloud us? See why?

Surely people who misuse Matthew 16:18 have no clue that to claim Peter is the "Rock", deletes the Lord altogether; and instead 'makes' Peter, higher than Christ! Yet no one challenges all this bad scholarship; and the documentaries get repeated over and over and over. Satan & Co. Thus are behind that kind of cohesion. Man isn't smart enough to competently conspire century after century. But he is dull and disinterested enough to never do his homework, lo these many years.

Furthermore, Peter never even went to Rome; it was Paul, not Peter, who lived and died in Rome! But the Roman Catholic Church never lists Paul as a pope, 🤣🤣🤣! So not only is popism a lie, but also the 1st-century AD pope roster is easily proven false from the Bible itself. Irony of ironies, that: the best manuscript of the Bible we have, is "Codex Vaticanus": a fabulous Bible manuscript secretly protected by the Vatican until 1889, when Samuel Tregelles essentially forced the Pope to publish it. In short, what proves the Roman Catholic Church's list of 1st century popes a lie, is a Bible they protected. And they protected it well, we owe them much. Vatican only allowed him to look at the manuscript; he wasn't even allowed to touch the pages, or take notes. So he memorized what he read for 8 hours a day. At night, he wrote out what he could remember, and then later published that. Vatican was thus constrained to publish the whole manuscript for world, about 30 (?) years later. Wasn't until about 1942 or 1953 -- I forget which was the year of the encyclical -- that Catholics were even allowed to exegete their own Bible!

The Koran (and to a lesser extent, Bhagavad Gita) does the exact same kind of derision as Matthew 16:18. Christ is depicted as sinless in the Mary sura, but Mohammed is a sinner. Yet Christ is but a herald of Mohammed (ibid)?! See how the reversing interpretation of Matthew 16:18 makes Christ but a herald of Peter? And the Koran even depicts a Second Coming for Christ! But not Mohammed. What, no one catches on to the derision of both Mohammed and Ishmael, that a Jew, a son of Isaac, returns and is the Victor? Y'allah!

See how we don't do our homework? We're Satan fodder! This Matthew 16:18 is but one easy to understand sample of how Satan's Revelation 17 religion strategy, plays. Not just upon Catholics, but on all sects of Christianity; for all sects, practice the same kinds of ignorant blasphemy -- just in different 'flavors'.

So I must make a big deal out of mistranslations in each webpage. It's not to criticise people or denominations but to demonstrate Successful Satanic Strategy. We are all in this together. Frankly, it's a miracle we get as much of the Bible right, as we do!

For a general overview of the problem of mistranslation, refer back to Second 'bias', the Cup.

And here's the worst kind of satanic mistranslation game, aborting the spiritual lives of all prolifers: in Caveat4.htm, you can click on NoWombLife.htm, then page down to its "Don't Abort My Word" table; there, you'll see how the original text of Psalm 139:11-17 says that no life is in the womb -- but oh! The mistranslation, aborts what God had David write, by strategically reversing the meaning of key words! For centuries it's been mistranslated, lying against God, claiming soul life is in the womb. There are many videos on this Psalm, since it is so mistranslated, cutting christ himself out of verse 15, just like Matthew 16:18 does in its translation. The "Don't Abort My Word" table has a link to the Psalm 139 videos.

It's awesome, how much Satan hates God. Almost as awesome, how much we Christians also hate Him.

As to Matthew 16:18, the Lord is using precedent from David to save Israel just like David did, by stepping down (going to the Cross) in order to get the Post-Mortem promise (2 Samuel 7) -- here, invoking a whole new type of spiritual species, Church. Which ups the cost of the Cross for those not-yet-born people! As well as, saving rejecting Israel. But if you're busy using the verse to say Peter is the head of the Church, well -- you don't see any of the real meaning. What a tragedy. So you also won't get all of Paul's and Peter's references back to that invocation, such as 1 Corinthians 3 ("foundation" = bedrock), 1 Corinthians 10:4 (Trial Witness role), Ephesians 2 (living stones), Ephesians 4 (building-verbs analogy, idea of being built into the BedRock, Ephesians 4:13 + Ephesians 4:16), virtually all Peter's rock analogies (ὑπογραμμός, λίθοι, all the ὑπό prefixes, partly signifying you're to be written on, etc). And of course Hebrews 6:19-20's Anchor analogy will be utterly mystifying. So a whole lot of Bible enjoyment is missed because Matthew 16:18 is mistranslated and shallowly reversed as to its import. Satan & Co. Know how to cloud us, huh.

Can't really know Bible in translation, sorry. The translations are too messed up, and God preserved the original language texts of the completed Canon, as the replacement for 'gift of tongues', so to speak. It's never too late to start: don't worry about your own limitations, you lost your brains like every other believer, and are supposed to live on His, per clever Greek of Ephesians 4:23. Ephesians 4:23 is usually mistranslated "spirit of your mind". Nope. It's "by Agency of the Spirit for your mind", with the first idea that by means of your thinking the Spirit runs you. Several different translations could be accurate; but in all of them, you have no brains but His, due to the way the genitive case is used -- ties to 1 Corinthians 2. Replacement-of-tongues analogy: Paul's stressed point, in 1 Corinthians 13:9ff.

So His Brains via 1 John 1:9, enable you to learn the God-breathed, original language texts of the Real Bible He Personally Commissioned; enable you to separate the fake-bible books from the Real Ones He breathed into the Real Authors He empowered. Never underestimate the power of 'Mom', the Holy Spirit, to teach you via your own pastor. God is neither sloppy, nor an elitist. The mothering metaphor begins in Genesis 1:2, rahaph, usually mistranslated "hover" -- the verb means a mother hen brooding over her chicks, so is a fabulous metaphor signifying the Holy Spirit's self-chosen restoration role for the human race.

So when analyzing, look for the derision-against-God between the mistranslation, and the original God-breathed text. It's embarrassing. They fool us all, 'faster than a speeding bullet, faster than a spitting cobra. Now you know why the Bible is so repetitive. Even Satan & Co. Can't mess up all of its translation!

  1. So every webpage ends up covering mistranslation examples, mainly for other reasons, but also for this one: they are perfect and validating evidence of Satan & Co.'s Strategic and Tactical involvement. Bluntly. Again, by seeing the pattern, you see it's superhuman, and you see the strategy and tactics. Which you can then compare to Scripture's doctrine about them, to tie empirical evidence you can see, with the principles you also can see. Awesome stuff.

Basically, every Bible mistranslation predictably follows the conventions of the Temptations levied against the Lord in Matthew 4. When I realized the pattern of mistranslation was actually and deliberately matched to the Three Temptations' methodologies, then I knew I wasn't hallucinating the satanic origin of the patterns. It was a real surprise, and shocks me still. So please, as I keep on cautioning the reader, don't take my word for it, your job is to think Doctrine out for yourself before Father. Test this:

Regarding Matthew 16:18, in Latin, you don't mix gender, so "this Rock" is a female noun, so cannot mean Peter. But hey: if you want to promote a lie, just ignore Latin grammar rules, even as the Greek grammar was ignored in order to misuse the verse and claim power over people by inventing a pope. Never mind that even the Catholic Bible gets 1 Corinthians 10:4 right, which explains Matthew 16:18, referring directly to it. See? Cut God's head off, put man's atop, and thus reverse the verse's meaning! Yeah, and it's this verse which sealed Satan's doom, so of course he'd be more interested in misrepresenting it, for here the Lord invents Church to save Time itself!

Greek words "ἀγάπη" and "ἀγαθός" mean only divine Love and Good, respectively. Greek culture had no other meaning for the words. Idea was to participate in the Divine, but the source was always Divine, never man's native quality. So gotta be maybe 1000 verses in Bible if not more, using those words, yet in translation all of them cut out "Divine", so appear as man's love and man's good. See how vilely anti-God and deft the mistranslation? See how frequent? And you just know a translator would never intend to be anti-God. So he's being clouded, following past 'respectable' mistranslation. Look in any Bible you like, and these words are always mistranslated, cutting God's Head off!

Another obvious example is 2 Peter 1:9, covered in "True Spirituality", λαβών is cut out of translation, completely, yet remains in the original. That chopping reverses the meaning of the verse in translation. No Bible translates it, from Geneva Bible until any Bible translation out now. Five centuries, this word has been chopped out, overlooked, forgotten! Verse should read, "having forgotten to take purification" -- λαβών means "to take" in modern English, and "purification" is our famous καθαρίζω verb in cognate noun form, same as John uses in 1 John 1:7, 1 John 1:9, famous Old Testament word. Peter's point is that people forget to name their sins to God, so the translators forget to put the "take" in translation! See how Satan & Co. Mock us hapless believers? No one noticed this gaffe for five centuries? Check any Bible you like! It's unreal, how we keep skipping over this participle, λαβών! Surely man is not so smart to avoid it. Gotta be satanic clouding. Nerd note: one of the rules of Greek is that you can translate a participle as a finite verb. You'll find that rule in Mounce and Wallace and other seminary textbooks on Greek. Should find it also in the university websites which teach Classical Greek, such as Perseus of Tufts. Peter's use of a noun plus a participle plus a noun is a dramatic stress; in drama Greek you switch to nouns and participles rather than the normal daily construction of finite verb and noun. In English we don't have a similar construction, so the "having forgotten to take purification" being what Peter means, is a better English rendering.

Now look how clever: the eternal insecurity people claim that man never sins after salvation, so if you catch yourself sinning, you must not be saved. So what happens? You remain carnal, for you read "sin" as meaning you're not saved, so 'solve' it by faith in Christ again; rather than, taking purification by naming your sins to God like John explains in 1 John 1:6-10, echoing the earlier 2 Peter 1:9; which echoes David in Psalms 32:5, Psalms 66:18; and of course all the Levitical offerings for sin, taught the same thing. Unbelievers don't bring animals for sacrifice, okay? Only believers do that. You have to believe in God to think you must bring an animal to the priest, or name your sin to God. Only believers name sins to God anywhere in Bible, Old Testament or New. Yet notice how that provable doctrine is reversed by mistranslation! It's so witty but so devastating, you don't know whether to laugh or cry! So the believer who reads the mistranslated 2 Peter 1:9 will think himself not a believer, for he has sinned. So remains carnal ever afterwards, but fancies himself not sinning -- just as John tearfully explains, in 1 John 1:6-10. Devastatingly smart of Satan & Co., to cut "λαβών" out of 2 Peter 1:9, doncha think?

Look at any televised Christian broadcast. Notice how the stress is on "the whole world", usually with graphics of the globe in the background. Listen to the speech of the speakers, pastor or otherwise, and you hear the stress on numbers, on how many people "all over the world" are listening to the broadcast, always a worldly measure of greatness. Where do you think they get that? Not from Bible in the original languages. The Lord didn't flash Himself in the Second Temptation, didn't take over the world in the Third, didn't feed the world in the First. But we Christians literally drool over doing those things, and pander those very activities as 'holy' in TV broadcasts -- over the whole world. So who's running Christianity? The demon boys. What Satan couldn't get the Lord to do in the Three Temptations, he easily gets us Christians to do, in mistranslating Holy Writ and in deed.

Now you just know there's never been a translator born who deliberately set about to mistranslate Bible based on imitating Satan in Matthew 4, right? So the true masterminding behind all this mistranslation isn't human, huh. We humans are at fault for not doing our homework. The mistranslation errors are usually really obvious, stuff you were warned to avoid in first year seminary. How embarrassing.

The pattern of mistranslations being based so consistently on Matthew 4 actually gave birth to Satan's Counter to God: 'Script' Strategies and Tactics. So test Bible verses in the original compared to the translation you're using, for the above three mistranslation tactics. You should be able to see them as well.

The Bible was basically kidnapped for 18 centuries, and was always hard to get; most people were lucky if they had a torn portion of a Psalter or something. Elitism was the excuse used to keep Bible from the common man. God successively freed Scripture to become available to the common man. It's amazing; like clockwork, since the Church Fathers first got enough control to begin the kidnapping (Revelation 17, baby). By 200 AD, Bible's original language texts would become unintelligible. For schools gradually stopped teaching Greek and even Latin in university, so the languages fell into disuse in the West (p.758ff M. Cary, Chapter XLIII, History of Rome St. Martin's Press, 1965). By this same time, the Revelation 17 harlot structure had essentially completed (by M. Aurelius' day, so it came about a generation earlier).

Ever since the Cross, seems like every 200 years within the ending of a 490-year time grant, original language texts resurface somewhere and some small group forms to study them, usually a grass-roots thing, evangelizing and teaching. Then by the end of another 200 years, Scripture goes hidden again. "200" is a loose number. But it is regular, and close to that number. We've had our rollout of original language texts at an unprecedented scope, since about 1830; it will be say 200 years, come 2030 or so. Doesn't seem that Scripture can go hidden ever again, in this computer age: but it is already, widely ignored. As is obvious, from all the "new" translations which actually copy the old mistranslations. Kinda sad.

Same find-then-lose pattern happened in the Old Testament (Samuel found Scripture, then maybe 350? Years later, Hilkiah found it during King Josiah, then Jeremiah found some more -- all nicely hidden in the temple, for crying out loud). Scripture would go lost, then it would be found, and the King would call for it to be read to the people, they would cry, vow fealty, go home -- and forget it again. Well, some things never change.

Passim theme in the webpages concerns this epic rollout of Scripture in the original languages as an actual 490-year goal in ever-wider-geographical-distribution, stages. You'd do well to just read any books on how we got our Bible, and then analyse why it was so persecuted for so long, and so consistently. Why even today it's always popular to debunk the Bible -- with the debunkers, always using translations. When a thing is so consistently abused for so long, it must be from God, huh.

  1. Satan & Co. brazenly mock us with slapstick word games, head games, to prove we don't know our Bible. In some ways, this is the biggest surprise of all, and I didn't see it until the pattern of their games was evidenced so many times in so many ways, I couldn't miss it, anymore. They play on Bible, relentlessly. So if you don't know the Bible, you'll get skewered for your ignorance. Of course if you don't believe in demons, they'll accommodate you in other ways, to give you some other name to call them, like "ghosts" or "aliens". Objective is to get your attention. Not a good idea, to give it. Proverbial give an inch, take a mile problem. Any interest in the "supernatural" will be used. They crave attention. So they cultivate interest in the supernatural -- preferably as a lurid thing, for they deride us as stupid animals with gross pleasures. For if you want what they sell, God has to let them 'play' with you. Free will always gets what it wants, in God's Decree. Here, free will is being 'sold' something and it 'buys' that thing.

Notice that by deflecting and shaping your interest in the supernatural into something titillating, the Real SuperNatural God will likewise be deemed goofy or will only be accepted if titillating. That's why they promote their own fake definition of supernatural, to suit man's animalistic proclivities. They're not stupid, you know. By promoting the lurid, the true demonic herding done by the word games, goes unnoticed. Demons are highbrow; they play highbrow games. The lurid stuff is pandered to mask those games, and you have to be interested in the Real God without wanting titillation, to see the real games.

So they do this word-gaming in fake bible books (especially the Koran, Bhagavad Gita, and Book of Mormon, sheer genius satire); they do this gaming via "UFO" and "medium" (i.e., channellers) sponsorship; they mock us via religions of all kinds; they do it in movies, politics, you-name-it. They do it relentlessly, constantly, because they hate us, and they imagine they hurt God, by so doing. Examples:

And no one notices the similarity of "alien" + "spirits" to "evil spirits" in Bible? Joke's on us! Brief sketch of their wordplay in famous holy books like Book of Mormon, Koran, etc (use 1 John 1:9 and ask Our Mutual Dad to lead you to examples which He knows will best grow your understanding):

The Mothman Prophecies show an example of their obsessive, slapstick games which Mr. Keel wrote about back in the 1960's. If you read his book and know Satanology, you can see the burlesquing strategy and tactics. The event really happened. The hallucinations really happened, and one can't but feel compassion for all the people involved, and especially for Mr. Keel. The movie version was very different, yet the stuff depicted in either book or movie, is of the same pattern as in the Gospels, Acts and the Old Testament; their play on Greek and Roman culture to advertise their authorship. It's embarrassing, how we don't catch on.

Next categorical example: the common afterlife promise, in their fake holy books. It's a scorcher. Try this experiment with any other holy book: strip out the "flowery I love you's", mystical vocabulary, and Delphic vagueness. (Once again, playing with and on, Greek and Roman cultural concepts, words.) What's left? A 'picture' of 'god' which is cruel and capricious, deriding all who believe in the holy book portraying him. For there is no surety about your afterlife: it's vague. Sounds like you have to do things your whole life, and maybe in your next life you'll be better off. Maybe. Screw up, and you definitely will be hurt, though quite how, is -- fuzzy. The more cruel among these fake-god books tell you that you must keep coming back to this dirtball planet in one life form or another; and maybe can break free of it, after thousands upon thousands of years. Or, you break free if you do something spectacularly noble (but silly) and sacrificial: say, if you starve or torch yourself in public (popular ideas, even back before Alexander's time). In all events, you have to really work at it, and -- well, maybe it will work. How cruel.

And derisive, for the 'heavenly' afterlife these books sell -- even if you slavishly followed their dicta, so are a shoe-in -- is kinda hot, going by their usual descriptions. Here the most clever wordplay is employed. True genius. Like,

Do you see the common pattern? These books differ greatly in their geographical origin, time of writing, and 'client' people -- but they all promise fire! At the end. And the 'god' never gets paid, either. So the 'god' is a masochist, and would like it very much if everyone joined him.

🤣, they are so obsessive in their games, they even do it using real buildings. Like, the Dome of the Rock illustrates Daniel 9:26c+Matthew 24+Revelation 11:1 being true -- but neither the Arabs, nor the Jews, nor the Christians, recognize that satire on our ignorance. Makes you wanna smack yourself up the head, when you finally do recognize it. Best webpage to read on this topic, are two links: "Stone Witnesses" link in LvS4a.htm; and then, "Revelation 6-17 trends" link in LvS4aContinued.htm. For more detail, a series of categorical examples ("Exodus:" links) are in SatStrat.htm. Study its "Seven Characteristics" link and then look in any fake holy book you like. You yourself will be able to diagnose who really wrote that book, and it ain't no human bein'.

All the important mistranslations in Bible, and all the important apocryphal/fake-holy books, practice this same slapstick reversing derision. Reversing derision is an obsession of Satan & Co. They practice it everywhere they are involved. So the fastest way to tell if a book (or anything else) is from the demon boys, is to look for reversing derision against Christ, God, a Bible hero or a Bible doctrine, right down to the bleeping numbers, for crying out loud. The derision will be very clever, it will reverse keywords or doctrines and even numbers in Bible (the fake book/thing will do this, making a play on the Bible meaning and then reversing it); and if you dig into the original language text of the fake book and the Bible, seeing how the former plays off the latter, you'll see it's impossible that a human came up with such wit. We're just not that smart. Blows me away.

Apart from the witty derision against Bible in the classical Greek plays -- the two smartest demon books seem to be the Koran and Book of Mormon, so far as I can tell: You can spend months connecting all their reversing derisions in those two fake holy books. See also Book of Enoch, Testing its Validity for Daniel Timeline , the "Book of Enoch" is a middling-effort, demon boy toy, not their best wit but the slapstick derision of God and Enoch, is obvious enough -- it specializes in reversing Bible numbers and Bible doctrines, painting both God and Enoch as capricious, stupid, silly -- not at all coy. Paints the angels as silly, too. Same patterns, faithfully followed, means the same beings (demons) are behind it all.

Perhaps an easier example to demonstrate this reversal, is by noticing how the fake gospels pandered all reverse the verb order. All fake gospels add verbs to "believe", and at least since 1950, 99.9% of what you'll find pandered as the 'true gospel', is really this fake one of added verbs. So no one believing it is saved. For, the added verbs are verbs only a believer can do ("accept", "invite", "repent", etc). The first verb, without which the others can't validly happen, "Believe" -- is what saved you. So look how clever: if they mask that fact, and instead essentially reverse the order by saying you must add verbs as a condition of salvation i.e., baptise -- well, then you are not saved. For although you had to believe to even want to be baptised, you believed you needed to be baptised also, to be saved. So you were not saved, because you didn't believe that "believe" was solo, enough.

So to prevent your salvation, Satan & Co. Promulgate adding verbs only believers can do, and using Bible verses to make that lie believable. Which lie keeps you an unbeliever, for you didn't only believe! See how cruelly clever Satan & Co. Are? Same with 1 John 1:9: if you add penance to it, you cancel the naming, for it's only name your sins to God, no added verbs. So you remain carnal, if you add some promise to God you'll never do it again, if you add penance, if you add the condition that you must go to a priest (you are a priest, so you name your sin to God). So if you even got past the hurdle of the false gospels and became a believer, you remain carnal after that, never growing up, ending up in heaven a spiritual baby forever. Satan wants God to be saddled with spiritual babies, that delays the Rapture. Clever strategy and tactics, this DIOS reversing.

Makes one yawn, their obsessive pettiness, how they prey on humanity with their many head games and yes, including miracles or at least they send you images to make you think you see miracles like crying statues and such. So if you think you see the Virgin Mary, you're seeing a demon boy image sent to your eyes. For the brain tells the eyes what the eyes see, ask any ophthalmologist; that's why formerly-blind people must be taught to see; that's why hallucinations seem so real. Same for feelings. Satan & Co. Send ideas to your brain, which they know will be 'read' as something you see or feel, and your body can't tell the difference between hallucination and reality. Only those outside you will know better (i.e., all of us in 2005 (?) who watched hundreds of hallucinating people gathering around the salt stain on a Chicago underpass, claiming the stain was an appearance of the Virgin Mary, televised by Dateline NBC). They send feelings, thoughts, images, dreams, visions, abilities, healings (which is just a demon exiting), tongues (their favorite burlesque), you-name-it. They aim to make the victim obsess, since obsession is the hallmark of mental illness. They specialize in slapstick, both gross (like the movies, an image they cultivate and then 'play') and refined (like evolutionary theory, a refined slapstick of animism which they pass off as 'smart'). Demonic activity is extremely witty, but still a slapstick like the Three Stooges. And we humans are ever the stooges, for it.

The big difference between human imagination or delusion and demon sent stuff is that the latter has the above characteristics, and it's impossible to get rid of. The latter is only overcome with John 3:16 (if never done) + 1 John 1:9 (i.e., live in God's System) and recalling as much Bible as you can, like firing a weapon. Increase your interest in learning the Word of God, talk with God all the time (that makes you remember to breathe 1 John 1:9 and think Bible) -- and you really will become bored with all else. Probably every believer who grows to spiritual adulthood will experience some period of demon hits, given what Scripture says. Boredom is best. God is more interesting, anyway.

Lots of people mistake any supernatural experience, thinking it comes from God. Well, the only supernatural experience God sends, is perception of Bible, in the original language texts or translation, while you're in God's System. Now that, is truly spectacular. All else is boring by comparison. No feeling, 'neither!

Know your enemy, the Bible counsels (i.e., the wolves in sheep's clothing verse, 1 John 4, "roaring lion", etc). Not get nervous, titillated, but informed. So that's why much of this material is spent on how they think, their strategy and tactics. You can't help but admire their wit: but then the Wittier God, made them. Made them, made us, Same God over all: the Lord Jesus Christ. Provably. So you end up knowing the Wittier God a whole lot better, by knowing His enemies who are after all, His other, rebelling, sons. Even the wrath of man and fallen angels shall praise Him.

  1. Therefore human nature is innately corrupted with sin in its very genes; these genes are all predisposed toward religious asceticism, or rebellious lasciviousness. So Satan & Co. Tap those proclivities, but we are clueless, mistaking what we think or feel, as valid. My pastor has taught this doctrine for decades, and there are a few others who recognize it. Bible keyword is "flesh": it's a pejorative term. "The 'Fall': Magical, Religious Transmutation Fantasy of 'Better Good' only begets Dissociation" takes you to the origin, sketches out the nature of how we became innately corrupt. Our modern discipline of "psychology" is really about the nature of the sin nature, though psychology doesn't recognize that fact.

Satan & Co. tap this nature, constantly, herding us like sheep (they never miss a chance to mimic God). They couldn't care less about sin, because it's genetic: you can't get rid of it until you die (Romans 5:12, 1 Corinthians 15:22). They only care about sin if they can use it to blind us to the Truth. And the Truth is, they care a whole lot about keeping people out of God's System, the root structure of the spiritual life. That System does handle sin, for God grows you out of sin; you discard childish sins, and get tangled in adult ones, heh. Never mind, only the Holy Spirit can grow you out of 'em. Because we sin, we should never want the Royal Spiritual Life. That some few of us nonetheless do want it -- utterly, unendingly surprises them. We are the only ones hung up on our sins; so they cultivate that hangup, desperately hoping to keep us preoccupied -- so we'll never look up.

Many of my videos illustrate how well they religiously trap us. These videos shouldn't have to exist. But they must exist, because people don't even know baby basic Bible stuff like how to be saved, that the Lord's Humanity paid for all sins with His Thinking, how to get in fellowship with God, etc. Be sure to examine comments people make. Astounding, how Satan & Co. Can cloud the simplest doctrines, even when clearly presented in a video!

Bible scholars overlook the Bible's own writing styles with such regularity, it's embarrassing.

Sigh. We humans bray about how we love Jesus, and betray, how we don't. So look at us the way Satan & Co. Do: all animals poop. But only a few abnormal animals who also poop, also want to learn Christ. Wow and ouch. Pdr.doc is a fictional story told from the demon perspective. Since there is so much popular media disinformation about Satan & Co. Versus the moral nature of higher-echelon demons the Bible largely paints -- especially, Satan's high moral arguments -- it seemed a good idea to write a few dramatized chapters. Yes, it's fiction, but the demonic attitude and many of the doctrines there are straight from Bible, which you ought to be able to prove. Characters, of course, are wholly fictional, crafted in order to tell the story. It's an unfinished work, so you are welcome to craft any story lines of your own, and it's a good exercise to write yourself into the story, so you get a better sense of the big picture.


Dates, Timings, Eschatology and History

  1. Exodus date is 14 Nisan, 1440 BC and you can prove it. Many 'Christians' claim to 'lose faith' in the Bible, simply because they can't read it, so can't 'prove' the Exodus chronology; especially, its 400-year span (430 years, including the non-enslaved years). One of the big 'scholar' hangups here centers on how many generations were born after Jacob entered the Land. They don't get that tally right, mostly owing to a maligning mistranslation of Exodus 6:20, on Jochebed. Tada! Conundrum resolved: Save yourself wear-and-tear. Always assume the Bible right. Then God will prove it to you, just as would your math teacher, making you go through the proofing steps. You aren't to doubt the postulates and theorems you get, yet you must prove them anyway -- how much more, that Greatest of Theories, God's?

The Exodus has bigger significance, a higher counting role: it's the paradigm of God's salvation plan, deft and beautiful; and God chose to count 'me' in it?! Every 'me', whoever we are? To see that bigger meaning of the Exodus, read the next item on the Passion week.

  1. Passion Week chronology is corrected versus the usual scholarship. Christ died on Wednesday, true 14 Nisan 30 AD, and Bible says so. Publicly-promoted 'scholars' pay scant attention to Passover rules and Hebrew calendaring rules, though the Bible spends huge amounts of text explaining both. Hence such 'scholars' egregiously mess up what happened the Week Christ died, AKA "Passion Week". Not one movie or documentary I've ever seen (and I've a 'passion' for those things) ever gets it right. Worse, since the late 1800's it's become commonly known that Christ died on Wednesday, not Friday, because from the original language God-breathed texts, you can fairly easily know; so where are the movies and documentaries on that fact? Nowhere. Look: making mistakes is fine; takes time to learn. Perpetuating them is not fine, especially when claiming to be an expert. The 'scholarship' on Exodus dating has been abysmal for centuries, and continues to be, without shame; but it's even worse, with respect to Passion Week. No excuse, sorry.
  1. Jesus the Christ was born 25 Chislev 4 BC, and Bible tells you that, too. In that year, 25 Chislev (first day of Chanukah) equals what would be 25 December on our calendar. Of course, the Birthday of the Most Important Person in history, ought to be kinda important to foretell. So of course the Bible spends a lot of text, telling us precisely when He'd be born -- 1000 years in advance.

Of course, every nativity play ever done, is quite wrong: there was no Star of Bethlehem, and no wise men present at His Birth, either. Amazing, how much we Christians hate Bible.

What's surprising here is that like most non-Catholic Christians, for decades I didn't believe His Birth really occurred on what we call Christmas Day. My pastor, like most others, pegged it sometime in September; then, suddenly in the year 2000, he changed his mind. So I didn't know why he suddenly opted for a Christmas Day Birthdate; a friend of mine and I spent months vetting that idea. So imagine the irony, that the "ninth month" which is Chislev, provably contains His Birthdate, and God is rather witty and obvious about it, in the Hebrew wordplay of Haggai 2. But not only there (never base an interpretation on just one passage, 🤣).

So...

  1. Passover Plot necessarily provides a lot of information to plow through. You'll need it, to see how God orchestrated His Birthdate within the vast design of Time itself. For a thing is not accounted, until its big-picture purpose is accounted. God times things precisely, and every timing teaches you some doctrine He wants you to learn. Use it also to see the beauty of that Exodus story for the human race and prove to yourself how that Week transpired; for all the Jewish holidays are built around it. In passing, you'll realize that God really can count! And then after thinking it over, you'll be so stunned at how He orchestrated everything, you'll want to prostrate yourself in worship forever. I'll never get over the meaning of that section. Most important will be its "Modest Proposal" link so you see the purpose of Chanukah in God's Calendar. For it fills a kind of 'hole'. That idea will take some time to even understand, since you can't find anything like it on the internet. Moreover, there are many Bible verses and historical tidbits to analyze; because surprisingly, there's quite a lot of prophecy about His Birthdate (exactly) in the Old Testament; for God always told the world from Daniel 9 forward, the exact date Messiah would be born and would die. It was supposed to be known in advance, just like you are supposed to know a calendar of events. For God's Calendar for Israel, is a schedule of how history itself, goes for the entire world. So of course His 25 Chislev birthdate is a threaded theme in the names of the priestly courses, in the dates associated with rebuilding of the Second Temple, in Nazarite (Numbers 6) and Chanukah wordplay in the Gospels. It's pretty shocking.

Because, a well-known thing gets a lot of wordplay and nicknames. We don't have to keep on repeating that Christmas is December 25; instead, we say "St. Nick", and "stockings" and other associative elements of the holiday, because we all know what those are. In short, there's a special vocabulary which goes with Christmas; even so, back for His Birthday, there was a special vocabulary Jews used. Yes, Jews. For His Birthday was announced to Zerubbabel, as a present for rebuilding the Temple -- the foundation day for the Temple would become the Foundation day for Messiah. In short, a Birth. Very witty. Will take you a long time to prove out the material, if you are inclined.

One aspect of His Birth the above websites do not cover in any detail, except maybe here: the Quirinius census thing. Augustus Caesar radically changed the tax code sometime after the Roman Republic unofficially became an empire, circa 27 BC. From what I can tell, the implementation of that new code for the provinces was started sometime in 12-10 BC, and from that point onward tax registration ("census") was an annual thing, no big deal. Annual, okay? No imperium can long operate without money. And every year, people moved around. How else to know where to find them to collect taxes, if you don't have an annual registry? So all that stuff on the internet implying that the census for tax purposes was something less frequent than annual, well -- makes no sense. Census-taking for other purposes would be more involved, and hence would be less often. But a new tax code based partly on a head tax -- radical departure from what had been the law prior -- demanded a census. Annually. It would be locally administered, of course -- but the initial setup would be more involved, lots of new procedures to coordinate. In short, when Luke is saying "Quirinius", it doesn't mean that Quirinius had to be in office in the year the census occurred; but he was the one who started the new code's implementation for all for the provinces, not just Syria. Which from what I can tell, began circa 12 BC.

But not all the provinces started under it at the same time. Bible tells you Herod collected taxes for Rome, and thus the Quirinius system went through the Jews, not the Romans; even the History Channel documentaries on Herod, know that much, and of course if you cruise the internet or so-called scholarly material you can find plenty of corroboration. So what's the confusion about the Lord's Birth year? Herod was dying in 4 BC, had been on the brink of dying for about a year prior. So the Romans had plenty of advance notice and stepped in directly, as they'd need to handle it post-Herod, duh. Hence it does make sense to say it started in 4 BC, at the end of the Roman civil year -- and yes, that's the time of Saturnalia. Here's why. First, Rome wasn't getting its taxes from Judaean citizens, it got them from Herod. For Herod had been financing Temple reconstruction to ingratiate himself with the Jews; moreover, he often paid the tribute to the Romans out of his own pocket. In short, the Jews were paying taxes to Herod as a nice political concession by Rome, since Herod was King of Judaea; nice also, to help quell the constant agitation by the Jews against all things Roman. Moreover, Herod often remitted large percentages of the taxes. So Herod paid the due tribute to Rome, and as a loyal friend of Augustus, Herod could be counted on to pay accurately. So the new tax code's terms could be easily implemented when needed, with such an ally -- so loyal, Herod would will much of his property to Augustus directly, when Herod died. Rome would directly take over then. Obviously Augustus knew he was Herod's beneficiary, because it would be up to the beneficiary, to manage the transition. Wily Herod probably even made Augustus beneficiary, to win living concessions. Israel was always rich and cosmopolitan, for nations ran through it, in order to effect trade across three continents. True then, true now.

Repeat: by 4 BC Herod was slowly dying from a number of diseases which affected his mental acuity. Augustus, who used to spend his vacation in Caesarea with Herod about every five years, grew alarmed over his pal's deteriorating health; so, as Emperor, was concerned about stability of tax collection -- Judaea was a lucrative source of income, as it made tons of money due to all the travel through it -- so 'other arrangements' would have to be made. In fact Herod would die only four months later, just before Passover, in what is better dated 3 BC (eclipses occur twice a year, and scholars pick the wrong year, not comparing it to Bible; but Bible gives you a more reliable timeline); so the lingering degeneration had to be obvious to everyone, at least the last two years prior, given his raging. Remember AUC dating is fraught with problems, owing to our mess up with the BC/AD calendar under Pope Gregory. Further, eclipses occur twice a year, so those who hang onto eclipses as their basis might be one or two years off. Since God provides the exact date of His Birth in Bible, I'd rather trust the Bible, than someone using an semi-annual eclipse event whose date in the first place, can be up to 6 years wrong.

It wouldn't be hard to do such a census in Judaea, physically, since the Temple tax system was very similar, so one could use existing infrastructure. But it would take some time to set up the locals to administer the tax Roman-style, hence the mention about having to return to your tribe's hometown. Again, Jews were rabidly against Rome, so preserving their calm would be important: you shouldn't expect a Roman style or even Roman records, but instead Jewish records which were then remitted to the Romans to demonstrate the collection was accurate. But technologically, it would be an easy thing to do. And no one keeps outdated annual census records, just like you don't keep old newspaper. Instead, you recycle that stuff. So the lack of census evidence in an age when people washed out their parchments or crushed their old papyrus to use them again, well -- is understandable.

You should be able to find out from the internet, plenty of information to corroborate at least the plausibility of the foregoing, to justify a 4 BC census. I just don't think the issue is important enough to warrant a whole webpage from 'me'. This is all I'm willing to do on it.

For you don't need to know when that census was to know Christ's Birth year, since He had to be born by the 1000th anniversary of King David's consolidated Kingship -- else all time would end. In short, Bible predicted 1000 years in advance, what year He would be born. Then in 538 BC, God told Daniel via Daniel 9, more information which in effect ratified what He'd told David; 17 years after that, he told Zerubbabel via Haggai, the exact date, 24 Chislev (25 Chislev begins at sundown) -- God knowing but Zerubbabel not knowing, when the future Chanukah would occur. It's an awesome rollout of information.

So you don't need to know precisely when Quirinius' (circa) 12 BC et-seq. Implementation of the new tax code, went into effect in Judaea.That the new Augustan tax code implemented by Augustus' roving emissary Quirinius went into effect also, well -- is extra. For Luke is not hiding His Birthdate, and he bluntly tells you the Annunciation was in Adar, in Luke 1:26 (using a chronicler's two Greek articles to state the month, so means the sixth month on the Jewish Civil calendar, not Elizabeth's pregnancy month). We just forgot how to read all the many ways God advertised His Birthdate in the Old Testament, that's all. Adar is the 12th month on the sacred year calendar, sixth month on civil; Chislev is nine months after Adar.

Confession time: the issue of His Birthdate, how Passover Week played, and the material in #4 were not at the top of my want-to-study-Bible list. I'm not really into prophecy and Bible dates. I prefer just knowing Him, learning His Character and living toward Him. I was prejudiced, frankly, against all the prophecy and date-droolers, and wanted to avoid all their questions in my webpages. Well, God had other ideas. It cost me four years of almost constant analysis, often without sleep, to write Part 4 of the Lord vs. Satan. And I've learned more about His Character from researching and writing them, than in the previous 52 years of my life. So much for my prejudice! In short, I got spanked. Royally. Deserved it, too.

  1. God Orchestrates Time from Adam onward, and you can prove it both doctrinally and historically. The fastest way to see this, is through the videos I created to explain the math basics, How God Orchestrates Time. You'll see the construct. Bible uses this construct in explicit text (i.e., any references to 7, 70, 490 and partials like in Acts 13). It also uses the construct for all dates given: which 'hub', based on 490-year and 1000-year cycles you can plot directly from the Bible. Folks get these dates wrong because they don't restrict the search to Bible. Use only Bible's own dates from Adam to Christ, or you'll never balance to history. Bible is self-auditing. If you misread a date, it won't fit. Do not assume the Bible wrong if a date doesn't fit. Assume the source you used instead of Bible (i.e., yourself, Dear Dr. So and So, etc.) is wrong, for that's the problem. Always. Seriously, people have committed suicide over misbelieving Bible dates for the Exodus, they misread the dates, but then 'lost faith in God' over it. Their mistake, not God's. So if a date doesn't fit, you read it wrong, or your source did. Use bible only.

Now, I didn't know all this at first. It took 10 years to prove it (since May 2004), and the proof just keeps coming. Since 2010 I've been doing videos to demonstrate the proof in Bible. At first, though, I wrote webpages. It will take you months to vet the material, as it took me five years' research to write, and I keep finding more Bible proof of it every day.

You'll also need to view the aforementioned Psalm 90 and Isaiah 53 videos, in context of the Bible Hebrew Meter which God uses along with many explicit verses, to account His Rules for Time. Can't understand Daniel 9, else.

People tell me it's addicting, to vet the material! Yeah, it is -- I'd go three days at a time, forgetting to sleep and shower! So maybe set an alarm or something. For if you want proof of the Bible's validity, baby -- you'll see it in spades, here!

Of all my webpages, this doctrine is the most provable, yet the least available in Christendom. I don't know how it got lost so quickly, but Israel lost the ability to tell time somewhere between 45-100 AD, because Josephus time accounting is all messed up. Just look at his Chapter 15, Book 7 on David, and Chapter 8, Book 10 of Antiquities of the Jews. It's completely crazy, his accounting. Inconsistent, too as if he never had a Bible for reference. Of course, the Jewish calendar is way off, and you can find many sites on the internet all trying to account for when the calendar suddenly 'lost' 200+ years versus the Bible.

By the end of second century AD, the Christian understanding of this "Doctrine of Time" was completely lost. The so-called "Church fathers" -- all of them quite wacko, amazing how truth can morph into lies so quickly, read them yourself at earlychristianwritings.com -- didn't seem to know it at all. Through that website you can prove that knowledge of the Gospel was unknown by the end of the first century. The lies were entrenched by then. So it's little wonder that the Bible's accounting for Time wasn't known, either.

Bible documents God's Accounting System for Time from Genesis through Revelation, and you can prove it against any historical record (i.e., timeline) you want to use. Trick is, to first develop the Bible's own timeline, which is what I do; you can audit the results for any mistakes, easily (though painstakingly, as there is so much data). Here's the original schedule of God's deadlines for time, commencing at Adam's Fall, in a slimmed down page: God's Original Datelines. It's good to see just the basic schedule, first.

Then you can look out into the non-Bible timelines, and see how they magnetize around the original deadlines. Post Cross (30 AD), all deadlines shift seven years forward of the original schedule and are keyed to the year of the Crucifixion; for Christ had to die seven years ahead of schedule, to preserve Time itself -- and that, owing to Israel's rejection. Theology misses all this because it does not use the Bible for its timelines, or improperly reads the Bible; theology discards the Bible in favor of non-Biblical data (like astronomy 🤣), which it instead uses to construct the common timelines you find. Judaic calendar doesn't use Bible, either, so it's way off. Needless to say, our BC/AD system is so far off, it's not funny. These non-uses and misuses of Bible account for why you get such divergent dates for David's Kingship (ranging from 1085 BC to 1000 BC), for Christ's Advent, and of course the Exodus. Sheer incompetence, frankly. That apathy of the Bible's own methodology for dating from Adam's fall forward -- Bible dates from his fall, not from the initial creation of the world, Genesis 3:17 (decree) and 22 (when the timing begins) -- to not use the Bible's own methodology is a huge mistake, which is why you can't prove when Christ was born and died, when the Exodus happened, etc. We really don't care about God. Even when we think we do. Nowhere does our lack of interest in Him show more, than in our incompetent dating of Bible events. People just rely on 'tradition', never doing any original de novo review. It's sad.

Bible's own timeline is self-auditing. And once you construct it, you can find plenty of evidence by non-Biblical means. You can test all this in the Bible, that's what I did. That's the idea. Thinking before Father means self-auditing. So of course God gave us a self-auditing system, in the Bible.

God's dating system is self-auditing, so you can objectively test for mistakes. It's very much like the secular practice of accounting, where you match the underlying Doctrine Between Events, to Find a Judicial Tie. So it's not like that business of finding conjunctions and moon or planetary cycles. Rather, God orchestrates time to the meaning of event 1 and event 2. So for example, event 1, birth of Noah's kids. So event 2, Abraham's son Isaac is born at the end of Noah's own 490-year grant. You'll see that last-minute timing often in Bible. Most dramatically, event1, the beginning of David's consolidated Kingship, which Bible shows was late 1004 BC. David was awarded three 1000-year grants, and 3 490-year grants, and the outer edge of them, determined when the Lord would be born and die. So the Lord had to be born by late 4 BC, or time would end. So the Lord had to die by 37 AD, or time would end, as that's the end of David's grants (latest grant ends with the 1000th anniversary of David's death, so the Lord also must die by then). Daniel 9 is crafted based on these Davidic grants. So notice: you first match the doctrine, and then look for any numbers convergences. It's a true accounting system, and God is real punctiliar about it. If you're familiar with amortization concepts in finance or actuarial science you'll realize that this matching of meaning character is quite capable of proving when one is in error. You can't balance a financial statement without knowing the matches in transaction character. So of course you can't balance God's books, either, if you don't match event 1 and event 2 characters. That's why we can't balance God's Book -- we don't know how. But the info is there in Bible, just waiting to be analyzed.

If you can't seem to reconcile something, it means you've not seen the right verses to show you where the reconciliation is, or you've misread verses you have seen. Classic example of this is in 1 Kings 6:1, a verse many 'scholars' dismiss as a scribal error. No, they're the ones in error. So here's your audit path: always ask why God gives you the verse; even if you don't yet know, Don't assume Bible is wrong. Never never never do any number crunching until you first learn what source Doctrine God addresses in the verse. 99% of all mistaken Bible interpretation really comes from this: people don't care about the Doctrine first. So they don't ask why. So they go on wild-goose chases, get frustrated, and 'lose faith in the Bible.' Save yourself some wear-and-tear: use 1 John 1:9, and ask God why, first. Daniel did that, in Daniel 9 -- else we'd all not be here, for time had run out!

So why do we have 1 Kings 6:1? Well, what is it about? It's about when Temple building commenced. Ahhh, why? Well, Temple Building is a post-mortem promise to David, in 2 Samuel 7. It's a post-mortem promise, not only because David was a warring king, but also to illustrate the Savior Who would Die to Become the Temple. So David has to die for the Temple to "WH", become. So this verse tells you when David died; demonstrating, God's fulfillment of what He promised David. Hence, "in the fourth year of King Solomon" means during the fourth year of Solomon's reign after David died. Only Solomon's name is mentioned. Big hint, that. See, you're a King so long as you are alive, even if you have installed your son as King. Kinda like still being President after your term is up. Very common ancient rule. So since only Solomon is mentioned, David is dead. But only dead, for three prior years, so "in the fourth year" building commenced. Not too hard to understand, huh.

Now watch how God self-audits that meaning for you: the self-auditor phrase, "480 years after" the Exodus, affixes the year at 960 BC, no doubt about it. But as Co-Regent, Solomon was in his 11th year. But no Temple would be built so long as David is alive, so you now know David died 3 years prior. See? God knows what He's doing when he ties one number to another number. So you don't tie yourself up in knots!

Which tells you at least one other very important fact: the people writing and reading that chapter knew when David died, obviously; and, they knew why Temple Building couldn't commence until he died. So they knew what 2 Samuel 7, meant; so they followed the normal practice of dating from event "x", which here is David's Death. So they don't have to mention anything but that "4th year", to date the building in relation to David's demise. Omissions tell you much about how well Bible was known to the contemporary audience. Even omissions are important Doctrines, just waiting to be learned. On a deeper level, the omission tells you David's existence was foundational to the Temple's existence, that Israel didn't deserve to get it. When Solomon dedicates the Temple in 1 Kings 8, he'll say that over and over to God. Because, Israel abrogated its contract with God in 1050 BC, by wanting Saul. God cuts Israel out, grafts David in, and then grafts all Israel to David. Which is how it's juridically valid, for Messiah to save Israel. For, they had already rejected Him as God, back in 1050 BC. See God's Genius Grace? This cutting-out, grafting-in pattern starts with Cain in Genesis 4, and runs all the way through Revelation. And I'd have never seen this pattern, if a keen reader didn't ask me about Jochebed. God uses everything to teach. Lovingly.

1 Kings 1-5, walks you through those prior three years. Occasionally it will give you a marker, like in 1 Kings 2:39, there's an interruption about how Solomon didn't kill Shimei until the third year after David's death -- because Shimei had transgressed Solomon's exile order. So you know when this happened, in the narrative. Hebrew (and even Greek, for that matter) are extremely economical languages, never repeating what's unnecessary. (Good example of Greek economy is Romans 8:28 where the Subject of the verse is also the Object of the following clause, in the heroic accusative.)

Without this verse, you'd not know David was age 77 when he died. "77" is a deliberate reference to the 490 ("seventy sevens", in punning); it is also a predictor of the Hypostatic Union ("7" is the number of perfection and completion); so Luke 3 takes pains to prove Christ is the 77th son. Matthew also plays on 77 by using "14". These are witty literary ways to reference that the promised time, the 490 years (really 630, counting both 70-year voting periods) granted in reply to Daniel's prayer, was fulfilled. Leave out any second "Cainan" from the Luke account; some scribe put it there long after Luke died due to a corruption in an LXX roster of Genesis 5, trying to make Luke look good. Luke got it right the first time, when he wrote under the Holy Spirit.

Again, by the way God words a verse, He tells you much. Everything God says is based on a Truth, which He then 'plays', because He wants to. Never arcane, never mystical. David is the Promised son whose Son will be Psalms 110:1 -- which bought the entire world time to be saved. Think your little life isn't important? Think again, Colossians 4:5, Ephesians 5:16, KJV (or the Greek)! We are literally here to redeem time!

  1. Rapture cannot be predicted for two reasons: a) it derives from precedence of the abrogated marriage contract between Messiah and Israel; b) Believer Votes are the criterion for the Completion of Church, and hence the Rapture, in the Angelic Appeal Trial. So God won't predict the date, as it would be like rigging an election.

The surprise here is that this very obvious reason for the Rapture, is missing from virtually everything you can find about the topic on the internet. My pastor taught many times that the Rapture is unpredictable, but since he has so much teaching on the topic, it's easy to miss his occasional comment about "precedence" being the marriage contract promise to Israel. In the Old Testament, there are hundreds of verses on this contract; it was the basis for the Mosaic Law being conditional. Time really was over, when He died. There was no time remaining to assign anywhere else. But you'd have to master the Bible verses and the accounting system, to see that for yourself. (My pastor has taught this doctrine of growing Church believers being used to "redeem the time" for decades, but I really didn't understand what he meant until I wrote up the Lord vs. Satan Part 4.)

There's a whole lot of Rapture-bashing and Rapture-gushing on the internet and in pulpits. The pseudo-intellectuals who discard the Rapture as unbiblical prove they don't do their Bible homework. Daniel 9:27 couldn't be more obvious; couldn't be more obvious, the Abomination of the Dome of the Rock with its second Stone Witness, the Wailing Wall. Mutely testifying to Matthew 24, Daniel 9:26, where we are historically -- and forward to the two human Witnesses who will replace Dome and Wall, in the Tribulation (Revelation 11, very sarcastic chapter). The accounting math proves time ran out, so only the Rapture can be the bridge back to redeeming Israel's due time. Not to mention, there are many -- golly, maybe one or two hundred? -- verses on this doctrine. Old Testament language always has a hiatal quality. New Testament language is more up-front. But you have to know the Bible vocabulary. Then you can prove it out. Takes a long time!

As per the "God's Plan" section about how we get His Royal Spiritual life: well, now that you've just read the bullet on God's Orchestration of Time converging on Christ, well -- what do you think God is doing with you? What happened to Him, happens to us: Isaiah 53:10-12 contract. That eternity-past contract 'folds' us in, so our lives are used to justify the continuation of Time. Based solely, on whether we are learning Him by the Book. If not, we are actually costing time, a debit. Because, there is no time to credit, unless we do what He did, Matthew 4:4. WWJT. And when enough of us have done that, the Rapture comes. Or, if enough of us stop doing that, the Rapture comes. Blessing-by-association or Cursing-by-association. With us hapless, hopeless, dysfunctional believers. For Better and for Worse.

The world only benefits because we need time to grow. And the benefit it gets, is more time. Time to believe in Him, time to reject Him. Kinda big benefit, huh. Rather bigger than any work you can do! But that's why the world kept on being 'alive' from Adam to Noah, God's basic 1050 accounting period, contingent upon Noah developing; then from Noah, to Abram, 490 years; from Abram, to Joseph (didn't require 490 years' elapse); from Joseph's enslavement under Potiphar to Moses at the Exodus, 490 years; from the Exodus to the First Temple, 490 years; and to Daniel, and then to Christ. That meaning continues, but via Church: for God's begetting Time itself following His Own Precedence: those who grow up in His Son. Church is the last group to get that role.

  1. Revelation's two-track nature. It's surprising that with all the very available information on Greek plays, that we can't read Revelation. It's cast using stock Greek play imagery and construction (i.e., all the activity is depicted over a "Day"), but keyed back to Old Testament metaphors.

Everything in the Bible is dual-sided, to depict His God-man Nature. So too, all prophecy plays on two tracks, in Old Testament and New. Here, the Tribulation tracks are: 1) a syncopated paradigm, and 2) the official Tribulation. The latter plays as an immediate result of the Rapture, whenever it occurs. You know this clearly, for the John neatly divides the time for you, using a key phrase, "μετὰ ταῦτα". This phrase is usually rendered "after these things" (or "after this", in the singular); Bible uses the term to wall off one "time" (Age, covenantal period) from another. So the official Tribulation begins with the opening of the seventh seal, and plays blow by blow.

Hence Church is already in heaven by Revelation 4:1: the sea of glass (see 1 Corinthians 13:12, James 1:23) fronting the throne, before the seventh seal is opened. You need to know that the scroll is the title deed to Earth, so it is encumbered (legal term, look it up) until the seventh seal is broken. We Church, were the encumbrance of His Body, so we have to be completed before the seventh seal can be broken. So we are: "μετὰ ταῦτα" is a time divider, walling off Revelation 1-3, and walling off Revelation 4:1 off from the events following it. So that phrase bookends the verse. So John is the actor representing Church, and he goes up to heaven. Then the un-encumbrance ceremony begins: finding the Rightful Owner of the Property, etc. Very stylized, very Greek Drama. Note how the vocabulary shifts from New Testament (Revelation 1-3) to Old Testament imagery, beginning in Revelation 4.

So Church is not in Tribulation, hence Revelation 17's Fake Church must be in the Tribulation -- to lull people into thinking it's not the Tribulation. That's why Revelation 17's fake Church began circa 96 AD (which is why John wrote about it then). See, Satan doesn't know when the Tribulation will begin, either: so to get the needed credibility to fool people then, a fake Church needs to be developed Now; for age is always mistaken for wisdom. So by 2005, this Fake Church has been long on earth, and has established a respectable paper trail debunking the Rapture. So when the sudden transition to the Official Tribulation begins, Satan can "spin" the truth to suit his Götterdämmerung goals. Because the Real Church -- us who've believed -- will not be there, then. Like P.T. Barnum said, "there's a sucker born every minute."

The Fake Church is not named, but its location is pointedly depicted as centered in Rome. That doesn't only mean the Roman Catholic Church -- rather, it means ecumenical, political religion. And most of the denominations today are just as Revelation 17 in orientation, as any pontificate ever was. The prolife movement is pure Revelation 17, and totally anti-Bible, for example. So that's why it's in Revelation 17, for it really plays in the Tribulation But that's why it started soon after the Crucifixion (in Acts 15, frankly, those stupid extra rules for the goyim 'decided' by a council, not by God). The longer it goes, the more what's genuinely 'Christian' gets fuzzed up. 90% of so-called Christians can't even tell you the Gospel rightly. Satan's done a great job, counterfeiting Christianity.

The Tribulation's underlying characteristics are precedented in the Exodus, with enough of Leviticus 26 and Deuteronomy 28, so you can't mistake who is "God"; so it plays paradigmally in history as well. If you were used to Greek drama, you'd have no trouble "rightly dividing" the Book. Part 4 has the larger historical precedence (going back to Abram) which gave rise to this two-track nature; Revelation: a Play within a Play outlines the Book of Revelation using that Book's own "μετὰ ταῦτα" time-dividers. Once you know those time-dividers, the book tells you what belongs to which "time", and the entire book is written in classic, Drama-Greek quadrilogy (four plays, four times, duh).

Revelation is clear, if you know something about Greek plays. For example,

So if you spend time learning how Greek plays are constructed, Revelation should be much easier to understand. That scholars and Bible people have been confused for so long when Greek Drama data has been assiduously preserved, well -- joke's on us! We aren't doing our homework, plain and simple.

Um, and it should thus be obvious, Revelation -- an apocalyptic book which goes to the end of time into eternity, completing the apocalyptic prophecy of the Old Testament -- is the last book of the Bible. Hence the warning in Revelation 22:6-21, stated in classical Greek epilogue format, the lesson to take with you after the play (of history) ends, having been completely told, fulfilling Jeremiah 31:31-34, Isaiah 53:1, Isaiah 55:1-6, 1 Corinthians 13:12b-13, Hebrews 8:8-12 and Hebrews 10:15-17. Malachi 4, closing the Old Testament, uses language similar to Revelation 22:6-21: the next event, heralds the coming of the Lord, and is undated. For us, that's the Rapture; but for the world, it's the Tribulation, last call! (The last Elijah was John the Baptist, see the Gospels, i.e., Luke 1:17, which quotes from Malachi; see also Matthew 11:7-14.)


Science and Scholarship Flaws

The webpages have turned out to be highly critical of many sacred cows, both Christian and non-Christian. Can't help that, don't want to criticise, but it means choosing to be nice to those who get God wrong, or biting the bullet and stating what's wrong. 🤣 We are all wrong on something, no biggie -- that's why we have a Cross. Just fix what's wrong, and move on. But people are extraordinarily arrogant about their beliefs, and won't brook challenge. Even if the Word of God proves them wrong; even, if all you do is cite or report the verses. Then you get tarred and feathered. Okay, so be it!

For when a cherished idea is demonstrated to have serious flaws in it, shouldn't that be accounted for? As a result, I distrust everything I myself believe, until I can see proof in Bible. For in these seven years of analysis, only the Bible has proven correct, and everyone else (me included), gets it wrong in many ways. In God I trust -- let God be proved true though every man a liar, as Paul quipped in Romans 3:4 -- everyone else pays cash upfront. But it's hard work to be in academia, theology or science or anything else. It's hard just to get dressed and go to work in the morning, let alone fight with all the red tape with which theology and science are irretrievably infected. So the academics are the best and brightest, the ones to praise -- especially due to the mistakes, because they know where the mistakes are. But the weight of the centuries forbids touching those sacred cows. So they must continue to bear them. Pray for anyone who has to be in academia.

Like theology, science is important. It should not be mocked -- or worshipped. But science like religion, is horrifically political, lots of egos wrangling. Hence lots of political wrangling and ossification. That's the danger here in this 21st century. So a few webpages (or sections) focus on this religifying trend in science itself, which threatens objective scientific inquiry. We don't need to go back to witches and warlocks, but that's where the world is headed.

  1. Analysis of whether "God" exists is all too often tautological; but there's a way to avoid that trap. One needn't buy any religious idea, nor discard any 'scientific' idea, to analyse if "God" exists. The analysis process can be independent, of both. To the atheist, God is not allowed to act like God, and exist at the same time. Nice tautology, that. So any miracle claim 'proves' to the atheist, that God does not exist. For God to be allowed to exist, all 'his' behavior must conform to (what the atheist considers) the 'laws' of nature. Cute: so God is only God, if He's not God (i.e., subordinate to the Laws He created, at all times). The lengths of illogic to which people will go to deny God (in the name of 'being scientific', of course) is incredible. All your debates about creation, the Flood, and whether the sun stood still for Joshua, are centered on this tautology.

A logical analysis alternative which avoids these debates and their tautologies, is in Does God Exist?. There are 14 composite, intellectual analysis paths one can use without any holy book, yet without having to choose common fallacies, either. You don't have to disavow evolution, you don't have to disavow logic, you don't have to disavow anything. Just observe and ponder. For if a thing is true, it needs to be thought through; that same thinking-through, will prove a false thing false. Logic is a great tool, so long as you keep on questioning the premise. So it's designed for that purpose.

  1. Evolution fails First Law of Math, so cannot be true. First Law of Math Conclusively Proves "Transmutation" False, demonstrates that the heart of evolutionary theory, called "transmutation", fails the first law of math, that no set can contain itself. So it cannot be a valid theory. How to fix the theory is covered; along the way, the problems cosmology has with Einstein's theory of relativity fitting with quantum mechanics, is briefly covered. (Same tautological problem exists in cosmology, as in evolution.) This piece is completely apolitical and a-religious. God lets falsehood freely exist. We should, too.

Back in the 1950's when I and my generation were in grammar school, evolutionary theory had just become a mandated subject in public school. We were all taught "transmutation" was the heart of the theory. And functionally, it is. For an ape to become a higher quality of being than what he was prior, requires either transmutation, or some creature already of man's same nature, mating. Genetics can't permit any other method. But you'll hear modern-day evolutionists (who use the word "evolution" as if it were merely any ol' long-term development) -- you'll hear these defenders, deride "transmutation" as something only belonging to the chemical world -- alchemy. Well, yeah. Evolution is bunk. Just like alchemy.

For without "transmutation", there is no evolution -- so why is "evolution" so stridently advanced, and for so long? Because the 'theory' is constructed as a taxonomic tautology. Idea is, you assert the characteristics, and then only 'find' the characteristics you assert, thus claiming to have 'proved' the 'theory'. Tricky lawyers do this all the time in courtrooms, to win their cases. Scientists aren't so smart, but do the same thing. Evolution's "Maginot" Faith Needs Correction is a mercifully-short section showing how the 'theory' of evolution is tautological, so flunks as a theory (no valid theory can be tautological); page quickly offers some ideas to help fix the evolution construct.

I don't believe in evolution, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be taught. But it should be taught as a hypothesis with significant problems. This isn't to debunk science, nor would I advocate teaching creationism in schools. Creationism depends on what religion you espouse, so should be taught by the parents, to the kids. So for schools, we need return to sound science: the evolution construct currently taught, is not sound science. But it can be fixed by admitting "Life" is a third independent component, so is the superior parent (besides matter and energy). Once you do that, you've not defined or even said, "God": but you have a superior parent explanation. For animacy cannot come from inanimacy, but inanimacy can come from animacy. Neither matter nor energy are alive. The ancients all knew this (i.e., Aristotle): we lumped "life" in with inanimacy, and thus create tautologies: an amoeba can't become superior to itself, unless an independent and outside and superior-attribute 'parent' which can only be life, 'births' it. Simple, huh. Then leave the philosophers and the religions to debate what "life" means.

By the way, Bible only talks about civilized man: Adam has a soul. Thus he is civilized, starting out in relationship to God. So if there were any hominid-like creatures before Adam, it's a body resemblance only, and not a souled creation. End comparison, because the soul is immaterial, so leaves behind no testable relic.

Thus the evolutionary construct and Bible, are two completely different 'species' 🤣. Even in translation, you can tell the first man, is: a) a taxonomist, and b) not a meat eater. His son Cain built a city, and was also not a meat-eater, but a prodigious vegetable farmer. So you can't even compare evolutionary theory and the Bible. What you can note, is that even 'science' will routinely date the beginning of civilization, at around 4000 BC. Which is coincidentally (yeah, right) the approximate time of Adam's fall, if you add up the (Masoretic-only) Genesis 5 begats backwards from Abraham; I get Adam's fall as 4106 BC in GeneYrs.xls.

By the way, Bible doesn't tell you how old the earth is, as that's not its focus. "Genesis" is Greek for "the origin of the man", not the origin of the Earth, and Genesis 1:2 tells you that the Holy Spirit restored the Earth, idling six days to do it, to teach the man about time. Whoa, how people don't do their homework! Joke's on us again, and again -- for centuries.

  1. The Flood is not only naturally possible (remaining a threat even today), due to "Pangea" and "plate tectonics" (topic divisions in geology, look 'em up); but you can prove it happened, and that it did cover the entire planet. Is there anyone in the civilized world who doesn't know the entire Grand Canyon was under water? So we all have ample proof of either fast or slow, flooding. And we know it can be either fast or slow. So just because it's posited as slow, doesn't mean it was slow: once a fast flood happens, you'd still have compression occur. I'm not saying the Grand Canyon formed via the Bible's Flood. I'm only saying we have ample proof of flooding. So should not dismiss a fast flood, since we know of the slow one, and we know fast flooding exists, and can exist over wide swaths of the earth all at once (i.e., those tsunamis and hurricanes suddenly springing up in 2005). See: we need to turn our brains on, but instead we turn off common sense which is amply empirical -- that's the danger science has gotten into, claiming something "scientific" without auditing the idea for common sense. For the same set of facts can justify antithetical conclusions, as here.

Even in "Continental Drift" (slow-method) theory, the world started under water; and only because "Pangea" started breaking up due to plate tectonics, did continents begin to float. So it's not only Genesis, which states that once upon a time, everything was flooded. So too, every region of the world has ancient flood myths, and many of them are part of the creation story as well. People morph what they hear, so the truth is reflected in mutated stories. The Genesis 6 Flood stories date back to 2000 BC and sometime prior, and are usually free on the internet. Now whether God used natural or supernatural methods to accomplish all this, I wouldn't know. It's possible though, either way. I don't agree with the atheist who thinks that God isn't allowed to act like God, so should be circumscribed to the natural systems He Sovereignly creates. Even I can decide whether to let my supper leftovers 'naturally' decay on the plate, or wash them down the drain.

So: I don't spend much time in any one page, validating the Flood. It was only important for testing why God spent so much text on its progress. Noahic Flood Precedence has links to the related docs and to a dissertation by Jack P. Lewis you can buy at Amazon, surveying the longtime recognition that the Flood has precedence. Yeah, it changed how Israel's calendar worked, because Noah's birthday became Passover (Exodus 12; Lewis doesn't cover this), ergo the importance of the topic.

Else, passim remarks are made in webpages, i.e., about how plate tectonics is the natural origin for the constant threat of flooding, the world always faces (i.e., due to earthquakes spawned by plate tectonic action, California might just sink into the ocean, someday). Somewhere I noted the obvious everyone (including me, for a while) misses: bodies which are underwater for a year dissolve or are eaten up. There will be no human remains, but only the remains of their tools, buildings, etc. Further, a one-year flood leaves no geologic mark, save tossed-up marine life (such as you find atop mountains in Iceland and Greenland). As for repopulation and travel back to old sites, think: eight people left, and all that booty to grab? How long would you wanna stay together? Heck, in 2005's Hurricane Katrina, even the New Orleans' levee flood wasn't but 24 hours old, before the looters started grabbing TVs, etc. -- though everything was wet, and there was no electricity?

Ancient populations weren't necessarily big, either. And they moved a lot. If I remember properly from my trip there, Mesa Verde had a very small regular population (under 100 people?) but was a huge complex of caves over many acres; to look at them you'd think several thousand people lived there, if not more. But the peak population was something like 800 (?), and that only for a while. Took all day to drive around and see the caves from a distance, even. So if you were roving, you'd have more than one domicile as you travelled. Also the right weather and dryness can preserve artifacts a lot longer, making them test 'older' than they really are. Carbon-14 is very much affected by water: material degrades faster, so will appear older than it is. Those cave paintings are dated by the materials, not by the artist's style: big mistake, as any tester of forged paintings, can tell you. Here, I made up one so you can see for yourself:

Lochness MS Paint

Which if painted in Arizona, would make the 'scientists' conclude it was painted millions of years ago! But I did it in Microsoft Paint!

So be somewhat skeptical of any claim of large populations soon after the Flood (which happened 2450 BC according to the Bible) -- in our modern, sedentary, densely-populated society we'll ascribe a higher population value to a location than was probably true. It would still look populated, if well preserved, especially any buildings. To distant eyes, a small roving band would obviously look like a bigger band if they regularly travelled to all the domiciles, and left stuff behind (like depots). It would be safe to roam about during the first 30 years or so post-Flood, maybe longer. One could travel 30 miles in a day on an animal, since provisions wouldn't be needed (no scarcity, no bandits, etc). And you don't know what the gestation was. Just because human birth now occurs at nine months doesn't mean it was always that way for all groups of people. Since both Noah and Shem had triplets, it's safe to say their kids did too. So again: there's more than one way to read the data on what seems to be civilization between 2450 and (say) 2200. 2 Peter says everyone but the eight in the Ark were killed, so the Flood was worldwide for a year in some fashion: enough to kill everyone off. I'm not sure the text is saying the entire world was covered like a bathtub for an entire year. Seems more like a series of tsunamis, but requires more research.

In short, a little thought turning in the brain resolves a whole lot of first-blush questions about the Flood or anything else related to God. Just use 1 John 1:9, ask Father in Son's name to guide you. Some answers you'll get immediately, but the others might require God 'wait' until you have supporting information. Kinda like wanting answers requiring you first know differential calculus, God has to start at a lower level, first.

The real issue is to know why God did it and what it means: more explanation in Because Israel became 'Vashti', Our History and to get hints on how to study up on plate tectonics. It's a division within geology, and is pretty well-proven, by now. Again, I have no clue whether God used a natural system He created, or whether He just 'snapped His Finger' to do the Flood. Nor do I care. What is vital, is to know why He did that, and what the "Ark" represents. Don't go looking for it on Ararat (Noah would never leave such valuable cypress wood behind, for it doesn't rot); go looking for the Ark's significance in Bible (hint hint, in Hebrews 6:18ff). Rapture's a Legatee of Decedents who Depended, not demanded covers the meaning of the Ark. Pretty important to know, if you don't already.

  1. Likewise, the Genesis account is not about the initial creation of the earth, but about why Israel came to exist, using a floodwater AKA trial motif: parallel to the Flood, and to Earth's rehabilitation for Adam.

More succinctly, you'll find the creationism entry in Verse Indexes now lists the salient verses, and provides a corrected translation of Isaiah 45:18. My pastor has taught this Restoration Doctrine for decades, since it is the theme of our salvation, hence God dramatizes via a true restoration of the trashed-up planet, to depict what He'll do within mankind. There is a sizeable group of other folks who (variantly) also explain that Earth got restored -- or at least there is a gap in time -- but they are narrowly focused on the 'science' of it, so miss the Doctrine God means by this fact. Genesis 1:2 is bald; the Holy Spirit restores what was trashed up, "tohu wa bohu" in Hebrew. The principle taught in that verse is that we are trashed up by sin, so He restores us, too. Search on the "tohu" morphings in the Old Testament, and you'll see the parallel application. For the very term "Genesis" in Greek (assigned in the LXX) means the siring of the man (Adam through Christ), and isn't even about how the universe got here. Yes, it's a literal 6-day restoration, so you can't even find a geologic Mark to date when it was. So you can't say how old the world is. Because, it's not relevant how old the world is; what's relevant, is why God created man. So you can say how old fallen mankind is, and Bible didn't create Adam as a hunter-gatherer, but as a scientist (taxonomist, Genesis 2); his first-born, Cain, ran out and built a city, see Genesis 4. Also, they weren't meat-eaters. So what do you know: we have little defensible evidence of civilized man before Adam's Fall (circa 4106 BC, per Genesis 5 trace back). So throw out all that 'primitive'-beginning nonsense in anthropology. They're guessing, which is their job. Fine. Guessing is good, but you can't prove or disprove Bible from anything guessed. So it's apples and oranges, to compare Bible with that 'segment' of 'science'. Why people even bother, is -- surprising!

Of course, with respect to Genesis and doggone near everything else about Bible, scholarship errors abound: particularly, with reference to dating, doctrines, and Bible translations. As relevant, these errors are disclosed within website material. Scholars of yesteryear didn't have computers to catch errors like we do, so it's wholly understandable they made errors, doesn't detract from their greatness. So why do we keep covering up and repeating the errors? That's a running complaint in these webpages. It's not about the fact errors were made: who could avoid errors, with heavy codices, candles for light, and feathers with ink? But it's the coverup which is evil. Just fix the errors as they are found, tell the people, be done with it. That's what you're supposed to do in science, academia, anyway. But we just go along, repeating the errors, rather than fixing them -- in the name of the common people, of course! Wouldn't want them to lose faith in authority, eh what? 🤣 -- we see authority screw up all the time, we're not that fragile with our loyalty. After all, folks in authority are human too. It's the coverup we mind, not the fact that authorities are fallible like we puny laymen are, okay?

And if you a scholar made a mistake, wouldn't you be relieved if someone after you, fixed it? Especially if you loved God, as most Bible scholars do? It's not as if being a Bible scholar were a popular or lucrative profession! So: see how we dishonor past scholars, by covering up their errors, as if we were ashamed to admit them? So we don't appreciate the fact that they got so much right, huh.

Frankly, the larger point of disclosing the errors is to show how easily Satan & Co. Blind us -- and to show what they choose to distort. For by knowing that, you know what doctrines they consider a 'threat' for us to know. Speeds one's list of study, therefore: if they routinely mangle the Gospel, for example, then you know the Gospel must be pretty powerful to know. If they routinely mangle the use of 1 John 1:9, then you know 1 John 1:9 is awfully important. Same with Trinity, the fact that salvation is permanent, and -- most important of all -- the fact that Christ paid for our sins with His Thinking. For if thinking pays for sins, well -- what you do with your body, cannot be the spiritual life. But notice how almost no one recognizes that fact, never mind that Isaiah repeats Thinking Paid for sins 21 times from Isaiah 52:13 through Isaiah 54:1! Never mind, 2 Peter 3:18, Ephesians 3:15-19, Ephesians 4:13, and a bazillion other New Testament verses which all point back to Isaiah. So, see: if your enemy masks a Bible verse or doctrine, then you know it's awfully important to know. We need to fix these errors. We won't, of course. Hence the need to say what they are, and show the satanic coverup strategy which persists -- for centuries. For if thinking pays for sins, well -- what you do with your body, cannot be the spiritual life.


Regarding Bible Hebrew and Greek Meter

Demonstrating how the Bible's own Hebrew and Greek text employ a sevening meter is the main thesis since 2010, when I learned Mary and Paul used it. It's critical to hermeneutics and textual criticism. God gave the authors a rhetorical style which Moses of course first used in Genesis: this style dates when the text is written, points to dates and other passages which interact with the text so you can understand how to read and relate it. So far from the creation story emphasis we moderns always misread into Genesis, for example, the actual pointing and dating reveal Genesis 1 is set as part of the water motif (Moses = drawn-from-water, for example) to explain why Israel. Think of it as a Declaration of Independence. Wow, that's sure different from what pulpits pander. Strong accusation then, huh. So a bunch of proof is needed to back up the claims, huh. Yeppers.

So too, Mary's Magnificat, unknown to the millions of Catholic prelates who mispraise her for centuries, actually demonstrates why God picked her: she knew meter and doctrine as well as Daniel (especially Daniel 9) tagging both his meter and his text. Which, she shows when she meters her reply to Elizabeth, and her reply made her immediately famous, treated as canon even by the time Zacharias replies to her. Luke merely recorded it. So why didn't the Catholic prelates tell their parishioners this is why Mary's so praised? Because they didn't know! Or if they knew, they covered it up and cheapened her achievement by lying, actually turning her into a sinner by claiming her 'immaculate' as if virginity was spiritual? Seriously? God needs to compete with the Roman pagan Vestal Virgins to get a hearing? 🤣 Thus the Catholics spit on her and Her Son Jesus the Christ, yet again!

But I didn't know any of this, back when I learned her meter. All I knew was that Paul was aping Mary's meter, and that Mary tagged Daniel to make her meter, all on the fly, as she alights from that donkey or whatever she did while replying to Elizabeth. That fast was her reply in meter, and that deft was her reply that Paul uses it to key off and craft his own meter in Ephesians 1:3-14. And also how deftly his meter with the text, forms an annual satire of yet-future, Church history from Christ's birth to Odovacer.

The whole meter story goes back to 2008, really, when by mistake I found it in Isaiah. I was merely trying to proof the Isaiah 53 scroll, to see if words were missing I could back translate from the Greek into Hebrew. But no words were missing. That took me on a journey to Psalm 90, then to Daniel 9, then to Mary and Paul. Technically, God started the meter in Genesis, and each book and maybe even each chapter of a Bible book will have a meter telling you at least when it was written. It took me years to document, and I'll not finish before I die. But at least you can see the methodology, so you can find the meter yourself. Flagship piece is the aforementioned Bible Hebrew Time Meter Characteristics. Use 1 John 1:9 as you read it, for God will speed up your comprehension that way and might well tell you particular chapters He wants you to test.

Yes, He will let you know: ideas will occur which are too apt and brilliant, when you test them out. That's why my tone is acerbic, here. Being nice doesn't get false doctrine, fixed. Asking God, will. So what: has no one been asking about this? Apparently not, and apparently even this doofus brainout can ask and get answers. Yikes! So if you ask, whaddya think God's gonna do? Answer!


Regarding My Pastor

This section is for those who have heard of or have been or are still under my pastor, R.B. Thieme Jr. He died in 2009 and prior to that, was briefly famous and therefore controversial. Over the years since I got my first Windows computer from a janitor named Jesús on my pastor's birthday in 2000, I've had a fair number of queries from folks who were under him or knew him, asking why I was doing this writeup. The reasons are pretty simple: I wanted to test what I learned, and what he said, for cohesion. I wanted to know what becomes the big picture if I correctly understood what he taught, and if what he taught was correct. For he won't be to blame even if he taught wrongly, for my believing in it. I alone will be to blame. So, at heart all this writing, and the videos, together constitute my own due diligence: for I am responsible to God severally for what I believe, and no one else can be blamed. Ouch.

What resulted in all this writeup, etc., is surprisingly corollaic to what he taught; so far as I can tell, the material largely validates what he taught, and corrects some claims. Sample correction: the Decree in Daniel 9:24 does not reference a human king. My pastor had taken the common Christian stance that it referenced a human king, back in 1977. That's an incorrect stance, as Daniel's own text shows: who is decreeing, there? God! Where did He do the Decree? In Jeremiah 25:11 and Jeremiah 29:10-11! Now the really weird thing about Jeremiah 29:10, is that my pastor used that in his good-bye letter in 2003, when he retired due to God hitting him with Alzheimer's. I had no idea that verse 11 would be key to this writeup, but of course God knew, and now you do as well.

So too, if you visit the Rick Ross forums, you'll find 'brainout' for answering baited questions like what did I find wrong in what he said; I only could list a few things, so I got booted. So too, some of his other students. The point of that 'thread' was to accuse Thieme, not to be objective, and we weren't as negative as they wanted. So now I'm unhappily a minor 'famous' person, too. Who cares? Not me, but the Doctrine is the Doctrine, okay?

For God vindicates His Word, and it matters not whose mouth He uses. Look: So long as someone insists a human king is referenced, the math goes awry. God accounts from His Own Decree back in 586 BC, not later (Jeremiah 25:11 and Jeremiah 29:10-11). So the math is 586 + 70 + 70 + 49 + 434 = 37, AD = 1000th anniversary of David's death, when Christ was long scheduled to die. Thus Dispensationalism and so many other denominations, constantly get the Daniel 9 timeline, wrong. So when Mary updates Daniel's timeline in the Magnificat, of course they don't know what she's talking about, either. So when Christ dies 7 years early just as He predicted in Matthew 16:18, crafting there instead a New Spiritual Covenant (precedented on Psalm 110, as shown in Book of Hebrews) which He petitions Father to fulfill post-mortem in John 17, well -- the hoary heads all miss that, too. So then they don't notice how Paul follows up on Matthew 16:18, by tagging Daniel's 434 time-bubble as Paul's own meter (piggybacking on Mary's meter endpoint) -- to craft a prophetic timeline for Church, in Ephesians 1:3-14! Pity.

All because Christianity keeps trying to shoehorn Daniel 9's timeline, to end at His Actual rather than then-scheduled, Death, since the schedule was revised +3.5 (for David's age 77 death, patently that age in 1 Kings 6:1 which scholars routinely misread), initially based on 2100-54 from Abraham's super-maturation (revision makes the new deadline 2100 - 57 = 2046 super-maturation + 2100 -3.5 = start sacred year 4143 from Adam's Fall = 37 AD, ergo the extra seven plus the Tribulation hanging chad since He dies 7 years earlier)! Ouch. Just think of the billions of wasted dollars and hours people have spent over the centuries. All because we slavishly insist on following 'Dear Dr. So and So' rather than the Word of God. Don't get me wrong: God has ordained pastors-and-teachers, and each of us is ordained to be under some male teacher at all times. Even so, that teacher is human, and is like you and me, entitled to be learning himself, entitled to make mistakes. So too, then we have to go to God about what we hear from the 'respectable' or 'scholar', and validate it. So when the Word conflicts, who ya gonna call? Not that גֶּבֶר ("nobleman"), not Ghostbusters... But God. Different G.

If you knew how scholars have missed the boat on Daniel 9; if you knew the meter and other proof of how to get the Bible dates right, but everyone else keeps messing them up; can you justify remaining silent, before God? No. Doesn't mean you go on a crusade and picket those in error, that's silly (you can't live long enough and be in a million places at once), and it's not helpful. What is helpful? Explain the problem and then move on. No shyness, no apology, no frills, no sugar, but also no condemnation. To say a thing is wrong when it is provably wrong, is a deposition, not blamesmanship.

So, now you know why I'm so caustic, here. It's warranted. When I die, I will have much to answer for, but not this. This, got disclosed. So in this material, stuff like the above gets corrected, and corrections are documented from Bible. Thus you can evaluate both sides: so you too, will have less to answer for.

This material also surprisingly carries that pastor's μέτρον μέρους (= doctrinal 'share', Ephesians 4:16, Romans 12:3, both tagging Isaiah 53:12's μερίζω) concepts, principles, doctrines farther, and the meter itself most elaborates on the underpinning for his longterm contentions that: a) We Are Royal Family Of God and b) God Therefore Uses Believers To Buy Time For The World. Those two contentions formed the impetus for my beginning to write and do videos, in the first place. I didn't understand the doctrines or the Bible verses proving them, enough. So, I kept on asking God to cause me to understand better what 'Thieme' taught, and where was the proof in Bible?

Now, I have proof of those two doctrines, in spades. It is a huge surprise to me that this brainout would find that proof. The find, intimidates me. Too bad. A find is a find is a find, and it matters not, 'who'. If the find is the find is the find, then its validation is objective, no matter 'who' mouths it. So I have no right to stay silent. So now I know why there was a janitor named Jesús...

Frankly, it seems to me the purpose for 'me' getting this stuff, is to answer the questions I had, and also to prove out what that pastor taught. For I didn't know when asking, that he was so controversial. I didn't know that so many in my own church, didn't understand what he taught and that so many more, disputed what he taught. Of course, by now (2015, when writing this section), I do know. Ergo it seems a bigger reason for 'me' getting this stuff, is to answer those who dispute him. For if God is behind it, the dispute is against God, not the teacher.

Elsewhere in 'my' pages, videos, audio -- you'll find the above repeated, passim. It's an important doctrine that applies to you as well: a believer of himself is not important. God's Word is important. And, God vindicates His teachers. So if God chose to use Balaam's ass or this one as a spoon for that vindication, so goes His sense of humor. The donkey who gets to mouth what He chose, well... is pretty happy to be such a Dogberry. So frankly, I gotta ignore the 'me', and I can't take refuge in the excuse that well, I'm female so have a right to stay silent.

That 'females should be silent in church' is valid, but I'm not in church. I'm in public. I'm not allowed under any law anywhere to stay silent if I know a crime has been committed, right? Your sex is no excuse. Well, the crime of the Bible Being Misused should be admitted, no matter the personal consequence... right? You can say to me, "well that's your statement, it's not necessarily true". Okay, but what if it is true? Then I'm not allowed to stay silent in any court of law anywhere. I would be subpoenaed, and would have to testify, if if if I might might might have crucial evidence. Okay, then this is μαρτυρέω, and you can discard it if you want. I don't have the right to stay silent.

Even so, I would beg everyone to ignore the mouth, and instead just examine the claims, testing for cohesion and sense. If the claims are true, God will validate them. 'Nuff said.
