The Antichrist and Its Ruler, the Beast

“Children, it is the last hour, and as you have heard that antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have come. Therefore we know that it is the last hour.” ~1 John 2:18

God related to me that the ‘beast’, the ruler of antichrist would be born in 2035.  I suspect, but am not sure, he will be a rich Arab prince.  By then one world religion and one world currency should be well established, as one world government is already established.  All that needs to happen is for its ruler to take his figurative throne.

 “How you are fallen from heaven,
O Lucifer, son of the morning!
How you are cut down to the ground,
You who weakened the nations!

Shahram Hadian says that the translation of the bolded verse equates to ‘moon and star’, therefore I believe (as do many) that antichrist is an ideology that turns many away from the truth of Jesus Christ.  That ideology is Islam and Muslim leaders, because it is against Christ, because it derives from Ishmael, the rejected son of Abraham, as it is prophesied in Isaiah (the ‘fifth gospel), and is corroborated in the Book of Revelation (see below):

Fall of the King of Babylon

3 It shall come to pass in the day the Lord gives you rest from your sorrow, and from your fear and the hard bondage in which you were made to serve, 4 that you will take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say:

“How the oppressor has ceased,
The golden[a] city ceased!
5 The Lord has broken the staff of the wicked,
The scepter of the rulers;
6 He who struck the people in wrath with a continual stroke,
He who ruled the nations in anger,
Is persecuted and no one hinders.
7 The whole earth is at rest and quiet;
They break forth into singing.
8 Indeed the cypress trees rejoice over you,
And the cedars of Lebanon,
Saying, ‘Since you were cut down,
No woodsman has come up against us.’

9 “Hell from beneath is excited about you,
To meet you at your coming;
It stirs up the dead for you,
All the chief ones of the earth;
It has raised up from their thrones
All the kings of the nations.
10 They all shall speak and say to you:
‘Have you also become as weak as we?
Have you become like us?
11 Your pomp is brought down to Sheol,
And the sound of your stringed instruments;
The maggot is spread under you,
And worms cover you.’

The Fall of Lucifer

12 “How you are fallen from heaven,
O Lucifer,[b] son of the morning!
How you are cut down to the ground,
You who weakened the nations!
13 For you have said in your heart:
‘I will ascend into heaven,
I will exalt my throne above the stars of God;
I will also sit on the mount of the congregation
On the farthest sides of the north;
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds,
I will be like the Most High.’
15 Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol,
To the lowest depths of the Pit.

16 “Those who see you will gaze at you,
And consider you, saying:
‘Is this the man who made the earth tremble,
Who shook kingdoms,
17 Who made the world as a wilderness
And destroyed its cities,
Who did not open the house of his prisoners?’

18 “All the kings of the nations,
All of them, sleep in glory,
Everyone in his own house;
19 But you are cast out of your grave
Like an abominable branch,
Like the garment of those who are slain,
Thrust through with a sword,
Who go down to the stones of the pit,
Like a corpse trodden underfoot.
20 You will not be joined with them in burial,
Because you have destroyed your land
And slain your people.
The brood of evildoers shall never be named.
21 Prepare slaughter for his children
Because of the iniquity of their fathers,
Lest they rise up and possess the land,
And fill the face of the world with cities.”

Babylon Destroyed

22 “For I will rise up against them,” says the Lord of hosts,
“And cut off from Babylon the name and remnant,
And offspring and posterity,” says the Lord.
23 “I will also make it a possession for the porcupine,
And marshes of muddy water;
I will sweep it with the broom of destruction,” says the Lord of hosts

Revelation 13 New King James Version

The Beast from the Sea

13 Then I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads a blasphemous name. 2 Now the beast which I saw was like a leopard, his feet were like the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion.Image result for rich arab princes

The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority. 3 And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast. 4 So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?”

But the BEAST will come up from the sea and will rule, and this is the Ruler of the One World Order, who has on his head 10 crowns and a blasphemous name.  All the world marveled and followed the beast Image result for pope with arab princes

and worshiped the beast and said, “Who is like him?  Who is able to make war with him?”

5 And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for forty-two months. 6 Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven.

7 It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation. 8 All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

9 If anyone has an ear, let him hear. 10 He who leads into captivity shall go into captivity; he who kills with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

The Beast from the Earth

11 Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lambImage result for abramovic and spoke like a dragon.Image result for spirit cooking 12 And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence, and causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. 13 He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. 14 And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived.

15 He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. 16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.Image result for spirit cooking

Biblical History Repeating Itself

Relentless Judgment on Israel~ Hosea Chapter 13

When Ephraim spoke, trembling,
He exalted himself in Israel;
But when he offended through Baal worship, he died.
2 Now they sin more and more,
And have made for themselves molded images,
Idols of their silver, according to their skill;
All of it is the work of craftsmen.
They say of them,
“Let the men who sacrifice[a] kiss the calves!”
3 Therefore they shall be like the morning cloud
And like the early dew that passes away,
Like chaff blown off from a threshing floor
And like smoke from a chimney.

4 “Yet I am the Lord your God
Ever since the land of Egypt,
And you shall know no God but Me;
For there is no savior besides Me.
5 I knew you in the wilderness,
In the land of great drought.
6 When they had pasture, they were filled;
They were filled and their heart was exalted;
Therefore they forgot Me.

7 “So I will be to them like a lion;
Like a leopard by the road I will lurk;
8 I will meet them like a bear deprived of her cubs;
I will tear open their rib cage,
And there I will devour them like a lion.
The wild beast shall tear them.

9 “O Israel, you are destroyed,[b]
But your help[c] is from Me.
10 I will be your King;[d]
Where is any other,
That he may save you in all your cities?
And your judges to whom you said,
‘Give me a king and princes’?
11 I gave you a king in My anger,
And took him away in My wrath.

12 “The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up;
His sin is stored up.
13 The sorrows of a woman in childbirth shall come upon him.
He is an unwise son,
For he should not stay long where children are born.

14 “I will ransom them from the power of the grave;[e]
I will redeem them from death.
O Death, I will be your plagues![f]
O Grave,[g] I will be your destruction![h]
Pity is hidden from My eyes.”

15 Though he is fruitful among his brethren,
An east wind shall come;
The wind of the Lord shall come up from the wilderness.
Then his spring shall become dry,
And his fountain shall be dried up.
He shall plunder the treasury of every desirable prize.
16 Samaria is held guilty,[i]
For she has rebelled against her God.
They shall fall by the sword,
Their infants shall be dashed in pieces,
And their women with child ripped open.

In the belief that the following passage is true and that there is nothing new under the sun (Ecclesiastes 1:9), I give you Hosea 13 from God as a backdrop for events that will soon unfold in America; IF we do not turn from our persistent idolatry of sex, money, and willful ignorance and cling to the Lord with all of our heart, soul, and might.

All Scripture is God-breathed [given by divine inspiration] and is profitable for instruction, for conviction [of sin], for correction [of error and restoration to obedience], for training in righteousness [learning to live in conformity to God’s will, both publicly and privately—behaving honorably with personal integrity and moral courage]; 17 so that the man of God may be complete and proficient, outfitted and thoroughly equipped for every good work.  ~2 Timothy 3:16-17

Ephraim was the largest tribe in the northern part of the kingdom of Israel.  After King Solomon died, the kingdom of God-the 12 tribes of Israel-became divided into a northern and southern kingdom:  Ephraim, the largest, (usually called Israel) and Judah, respectively.  The people of God made idols out of silver (and gold) and the finest craftsmen sculpted these objects.  They began worshiping their idols and abandoning the one true God.

One cannot but help notice the uncanny similarity with ancient objects crafted skillfully by hand out of silver and our modern-day electronics, all of which contain silver.  Our first electronics contained gold, lead, and platinum, sometimes in high quantities, so much so that harvesting these precious metals from salvaged appliances is a booming business, especially in third-world countries.  See this post on how idolatry is clutched by nearly everyone in America today in the form of personal devices.  Idolatry is not a practice that got left in antiquity when we stopped making animal figurines.  It very much continues on an even more pervasive scale today.

Even though God is not readily visible (we have to seek Him out), nor easily proved (His existence requires faith, not facts) does not mean that He is not real.  Furthermore, His word stands true forever, so what is written in the historical record of the Bible was true, is true, and will be true in the future.  Self-identified church-attending Christians are in denial about how much they practice idolatry.  Not only that, but as Americans fall further and further away from belief in God, our citizens are bold about denying the existence of God at all.

God tolerates this behavior and practice no more today than He did when the Jewish nation was expunged from the Holy Land, several times over.  He clearly states in the scriptures that if we forsake Him, He will not only forsake us, but He will allow the ‘wild beast to tear them [us], [we] he will know pain like a woman in labor, [we] he will lose his children, [our] his spring will dry up, [we] they shall fall by the sword, [our] their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and pregnant women will be ripped open’.

This sounds like Islamic practice.  And it is happening very, very close to us!  It is happening to Jews, and our Christian brethren in all parts of the world, and has even happened here, on American soil.

Islam has declared war on us, whom they call ‘infidels’.  But instead of fighting their war their way, we must cling to God because God promises us in His covenant with us that if we love Him with our heart, soul, and might; and love our neighbors as ourselves above all else, “Five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall chase ten thousand, and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.  ~Leviticus 26:8”

We cannot fight a war on our own and win.  We have exalted ourselves because our lives became easy as Americans, and we neglected and forgot about God; as the Jews before us also had done and were punished.  Only with God we will stand strong and be invincible.

Another Reason I Know God and His Son Are Real

Akiane Kramarik had a dream about this vision and painted it:

“…In one of my dreams I saw the image of white pyramids beaten by the ocean waves and surrounded by LIVE bubbles. Unlike most of my paintings, I had no idea what those symbols meant, but I painted them anyway. Today the meaning still remains a riddle…”

– Akiane

It is just another confirmation for me that God is real. I know what the symbols mean because God revealed their meaning to me several years ago when I began studying His Word in depth. I have blogged about the symbols in my blog here in my posts about Circles and 22/7.

Recently I traveled home and was confronted with some truths which were hard for me, yet healing. In the midst of this, I stumbled upon Akiane’s painting above (I already was a fan of hers from years ago), and it was an awesome discovery because I felt God saying to me,
“Your thoughts about me are real, and I am real. You can put your trust in Me.”
It was like a multi-dimensional hug from God made specifically for me because I am aware of the meaning of this painting.
The water is all around us, all life; the lower waters and upper waters encompass all life. Our Universe was created from the waters. Life is born from water. But to be born unto the spiritual realm, God’s realm, we must all be born again of the Spirit.
The pyramids were made because the Egyptians knew the secret of pi, 22/7, the circle, from which all other geometric shapes are born. They used pi as the foundation for making the great pyramids and the Babylonians used a slightly different version of pi, 25/8 to make their ziggurats and other structures. Throughout the Bible, 22/7 is infused into the narrative if you know how to look for it. The circle means God. That is why ancient man made giant stone circle rings out of rocks that can only be viewed from the sky. It was a message to God and a way to honor Him, and I believe, a way to show they were waiting for their Messiah.
The bubbles in the painting represent how the living water, Jesus Christ, merges with the circle of God, becoming one. The water overlapping the pyramids means the water which encompasses us all can destroy even our greatest creations, even if we know the secret of pi and the secrets of God. Only by being born again unto Jesus Christ and becoming part of the Living Water, and becoming like children in our love and joy, can we overcome the inevitable destruction to come, the second death. And rise up into Heaven above.

The Three Heavens, the Three Hells, and God

Heaven

Paradise

Living in the Spirit on Earth

Living in the Flesh on Earth

Sheol

Lake of Fire

We know there are three heavens because of the Apostle Paul’s words in his epistle to the Corinthians

2 Corinthians 12:2-5 New King James Version (NKJV)

2 I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago—whether in the body I do not know, or whether out of the body I do not know, God knows—such a one was caught up to the third heaven. 3 And I know such a man—whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows— 4 how he was caught up into Paradise and heard inexpressible words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter. 5 Of such a one I will boast; yet of myself I will not boast, except in my infirmities.

As there are three degrees of hell, there are also three heavens.  The first heaven is our earth that God gave us, including our atmosphere and outer space.  It is temporal meaning it is tangible, physical, and not necessarily spiritual, though it can be. Just as earth can be hell and man can suffer, it can also be heavenly because of all the blessings God bestows on man, in Christ and without.  After all, sometimes evil people receive good things, and the most persecuted are those who follow Christ.  Although overall, it is also true that Christ makes the difference between heaven and hell in our earthly bodies and existence.

Created for us over billions of years, the earth has been sculpted by our Father for us to live in and dwell in and to have joy in.  From the platform of the earth, we can contemplate our Maker while looking out at our distant universe and back into the far reaches of time.  In the first degree of hell, we can live a ‘lowly’ and ‘base’ life mired in dirtiness, darkness, and depravity; or live a higher life with a higher mind listening to the upward call of God in Christ Jesus (Philippians 3:14).  Not as tillers of the ground like Cain, living for the flesh; but as holy beings like Abel, living for the Spirit.

The second heaven is Paradise.  That place where Jesus is meeting us when those who believe in Him pass from death unto life (Luke 23:43).  The holding place where saints and those great and small await the Final Judgment.  Analogous to Sheol, Paradise exists only in the Spirit realm between true Heaven and life on earth.  Our bodies decay as in Sheol, but in Sheol those poor souls become less than a man, and in Paradise we become more like God.  Like Sheol, it is a temporary holding place until Jesus completes His thousand year reign and Heaven is established.  This is undoubtedly where the Garden of Eden is being protected from man.

The third heaven is Heaven, which is the New Zion, the New Jerusalem, which will be established in the Final Days.  Paul was caught up to here for a while, transcending through paradise, but he did not like to talk about it lest he be seen as boasting.  Its analogous dwelling place for those who are evil is the eternal Lake of Fire.  They both last forever and ever:  one good, one bad.  Explained in the final pages of scripture, it is the long-awaited time when God places His tabernacle among men and they become His people, and He their God (Revelation 21:3).

How characteristic of God to make six levels of existence for man, just as He made six days of creation for man.  Of course, God makes the circle complete as the seventh essence encompassing all these heavens and hells, transcendent and immanent among and in all of them, just as He is resting in His seventh day now, awaiting His new kingdom to come.

There is no place man can escape or disappear from God.

~~~Praise God~~~

Death and the Afterlife, Part III: Sheol

I emphatically believe there is an afterlife called Sheol.  Sheol is SHAL or SHAWL in Hebrew and means world of the dead.  It is pronounced sheh-ole’, with a long e.  Translators over the centuries have also called this hell.

The individual letters in the word Sheol tell us much about its meaning.  Hebrew is read from right to left.  The first letter of Sheol looks like a ‘W’ and is the letter ‘shin’, the 21st letter in the Hebrew alphabet.  It is next to the last letter in the alphabet with the last letter being T, Taw.  This itself means that Sheol is not the final place, but the next to last place.  If it were the final place, it would be better represented by T, as in Theol.

The legs of the shin converge downward into a central point or valley.  The Jews believe the way it is drawn represents the three valleys surrounding Jerusalem coming together with the central point being Jerusalem itself.  Note that Ezekiel below speaks about the bones of the valley coming to life.  Sheol is a pit.  Pit correlates with valley.  Overall the first letter of Sheol reminds us of the wide path to hell:

“Enter by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide, and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter by it.” (Matthew 7:13)

Then there is the letter A, aleph and looks kind of like our ‘X’.  A is undeniably the letter which represents God and things or people denoting God’s realm.  ALHYM is God’s name given to us in the first sentence of the Bible.  Coming after shin in the word Sheol shows us that God is the only one who can reach down into Sheol, but that He is right there beside those who suffer in Sheol, that they are not forgotten by Him.

The next letter in the word Sheol is an L, lamed, and it reaches up into Heaven!  The letter L is associated with words describing holy concepts in the Bible.  It is next to aleph because it is connected to Heaven.  Almighty ALHYM  contacted those in the pit, redeemed them, and sent them on into Heaven.

Sometimes a ‘vav’ or w (in modern Hebrew it is a v) is inserted between the aleph and lamed (A and L) in the word Sheol.  A vav serves as a divine connector or force of God that binds Heaven and earth (hebrew4christians.com).  In the picture of the word Sheol above, there is no vav.  However, in the above word for Sheol there is an H, hey, placed at the end.  H represents God’s breath and exists in everything.  At the beginning of words it imparts definition to a thing, or acknowledges something as it is.  In the middle of words it means God breathes right into the thing.  At the end of words it means femininity.  Being placed here at the end of Sheol it likely means He resurrected his bride from Sheol, and sent her into Heaven upon His breath.

Finally, the letters in the word Sheol are strikingly close to the letters in the word for Israel:  YSRAL, showing us that God’s people are never far from Sheol, and as Jesus says, most will end up there.

~~~~~~~

As I have been describing in my vision given to me by God, Sheol for those who have denied God is a torment.  Here are some verses that offer some interesting descriptions of it:

The poor man died and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s side. The rich man also died and was buried, and in Hades, being in torment, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham far off and Lazarus at his side.  And he called out, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the end of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am in anguish in this flame.’ 25 But Abraham said, ‘Child, remember that you in your lifetime received your good things, and Lazarus in like manner bad things; but now he is comforted here, and you are in anguish. 26 And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, in order that those who would pass from here to you may not be able, and none may cross from there to us.’27 And he said, ‘Then I beg you, father, to send him to my father’s house—28 for I have five brothers—so that he may warn them, lest they also come into this place of torment.’ 29 But Abraham said, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let them hear them.’ 30 And he said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’ 31 He said to him, ‘If they do not hear Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be convinced if someone should rise from the dead.’”  ~Luke 16:22-31

God allowed the rich man to look up into paradise to see the rich man being comforted by Abraham.  God is watching to see what the rich man says and what is in his heart when he is called to look up out of Hades (Sheol).  The rich man cared more about his brothers in this parable than himself, which is good.  When he asks if someone can go to them from the dead it is an allusion to Christ’s coming crucifixion and sacrifice on the cross, and his resurrection from the dead.  But to communicate with the dead is a sin, illustrated by the story of Saul and the witch of Endor, so there is no way Father Abraham will grant the rich man’s wish.

Once you die, it is too late to be redeemed except by the grace of God, and the prayers of those who breathe the Holy Spirit your direction.

…For there is no work or thought or knowledge or wisdom in Sheol, to which you are going.  (Ecc 9:10)

In Hebrew:

Work is ‘M’SaH’ and means activity or work.

Thought is ‘CHSHBWN’ and means contrivance, intelligence, or reason.

Knowledge is ‘D’TH’ and means knowledge, norantly, and cunning.

Wisdom is ‘CHKMah’ and means wisdom in a good sense, wisely.

Especially enlightening is the word for knowledge, D’TH, because this is the word referenced in the Bible for God’s knowledge, not just human knowledge.  The root word is YD’ which means ‘to know’.  There are other less divine words available to express human knowledge.

This shows us that Sheol is a place where they cannot work, they cannot reason, they cannot have knowledge, and they cannot be wise.

Many verses go on to speak about the lack of hope in Sheol or the Pit.  This excerpt is from Isaiah 38:17-18:

“…but You loved my soul from the pit of destruction; You have cast all my sins behind Your back.  For Sheol cannot thank You; death cannot praise You; the ones going down to the Pit cannot HOPE for Your truth.”

In these verses, the first mention of ‘pit’ is SHCHTH meaning corruption, grave, or pit.  Sheol means world of the dead or hell.  And the second mention of ‘Pit’ is BWR meaning bore, pit hole, dungeon.  Hope is SHBR meaning watching, or to expect.

Numerous verses speak to God retrieving those in Sheol, and there being a consciousness of sorts there:

“If I go up to heaven, You are there; if I make my bed in Sheol, You are there.”  ~Psalm 139:8

“Sheol and Abaddon lie open before the LORD; how much more the hearts of the children of man!”  ~Proverbs 15:11

“Though they dig into Sheol, From there will My hand take them; And though they ascend to heaven, From there will I bring them down.”  ~Amos 9:2

God is there with those in Sheol.  There is no memory, no knowledge, no intelligence, no activity, no wisdom, and no hope.  Man will suffer but not even understand why he is suffering.  All things that man needs to live as a man in God’s image and thrive are absent there.  Man in this state is completely at God’s mercy to reach out to him, because in Sheol it seems man will not be able to reach out and seek God anymore.  And I believe God has so much grace that it is right in line with His way to give man a final chance to turn his heart to God in Sheol.  While others sleep peacefully awaiting the Messiah, souls in torment are being saved in ways only God knows.

Only the most evil or wicked will be left in the Final Day, and cast into the eternal Lake of Fire.

The following vision from Ezekiel teaches us how we can each, through the Holy Spirit, reach our hearts down into Sheol and save those destined there for final destruction, helping them on into Heaven with our love through Jesus Christ.  God clearly iterates in this narrative that He gives us the power to do that!

Praise You Yahweh ALHYM for giving Your people a final, extra chance at everlasting life.

The Dry Bones Live

37 The hand of the Lord came upon me and brought me out in the Spirit of theLord, and set me down in the midst of the valley; and it was full of bones.2 Then He caused me to pass by them all around, and behold, there were very many in the open valley; and indeed they were very dry. 3 And He said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?”

So I answered, “O Lord God, You know.”

4 Again He said to me, “Prophesy to these bones, and say to them, ‘O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord! 5 Thus says the Lord God to these bones: “Surely I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live. 6 I will put sinews on you and bring flesh upon you, cover you with skin and put breath in you; and you shall live. Then you shall know that I am the Lord.”’”

7 So I prophesied as I was commanded; and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and suddenly a rattling; and the bones came together, bone to bone. 8 Indeed, as I looked, the sinews and the flesh came upon them, and the skin covered them over; but there was no breath in them.

9 Also He said to me, “Prophesy to the breath, prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live.”’” 10 So I prophesied as He commanded me, and breath came into them, and they lived, and stood upon their feet, an exceedingly great army.

11 Then He said to me, “Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. They indeed say, ‘Our bones are dry, our hope is lost, and we ourselves are cut off!’ 12 Therefore prophesy and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Behold, O My people, I will open your graves and cause you to come up from your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel. 13 Then you shall know that I amthe Lord, when I have opened your graves, O My people, and brought you up from your graves. 14 I will put My Spirit in you, and you shall live, and I will place you in your own land. Then you shall know that I, the Lord, have spokenit and performed it,” says the Lord.’”

Death and the Afterlife, Part II: A Depiction of Hell

God wants me to share with you all what Hell is like.  As I spoke of in this post, Death and the Afterlife, Part I: My Dream, Hell is rooted in Sheol, the pit of the earth.  Literally and figuratively it involves being buried deep in the bowels of the ground and being imprisoned without any chance for escape except by one means, the grace of God.

Adam, the word for man, and the original son of man, means ‘ruddy’ in the Hebrew language.  Adamah is the Hebrew word for ground.  It is feminine because it opens itself up for Adam to work it and keep it, which is the curse of man from the time of his original sin in the Garden of Eden.

God gives us every chance in our lifetime to regard Him, even if we have not heard of Him or heard His Word, because we can regard the world about us and marvel at its Maker (~Romans 1:19-21).  To make it even more obvious and clear for us, He sent our Lord Jesus the Messiah to redeem our souls if we but believe in Him.

Hell is the place those go, who in their hardened hearts, do not believe in God.  God consigns them to the ground from which earthly Adam came, which is also the path Cain chose, Abel’s wicked brother, the earthly son of Adam.  Abel chose the spiritual path and was killed for it by his brother.  The ground swallowed Abel’s holy blood by his brother’s hand.  It is all fitting then that God places the wicked into the same ground for them to suffer their deeds.  Their wicked hearts in denying their Maker will not have the final say.

I was obsessed with the movie Motel Hell when I was a girl and must have watched it no less than a dozen times (or so it seemed).  I was 12 or 13 and beyond when I watched it and while it scared the living daylights out of me, I also found it irresistible for some reason I did not know.  There were a few movies like that from my childhood, the ones I could watch over and over and never tire of:  Blue Lagoon, Tootsie, Friday the 13th, and Motel Hell.  Now I know these movies all have a common theme for me which is pertinent to my main mission I serve for God.  I just was not aware of it at 12.

This movie is inspired for its accurate depiction of hell.  I tried to research the writers and could find only that they were born in NYC, into a film production family.  There was also an uncredited writer as well.  The writers or director either were conscious of what hell is, or intuited it from God.  Nonetheless, this is something like the hell in my visions and dreams,the hell which God is revealing to me to share with you.  The people are buried in the ground.  They are victims because a terrible fate has befallen them.  They are alive but unable to communicate.  They cannot move at all and are in a perpetual state of solitary confinement.  Solitary confinement has been described as one of the worse tortures a man can endure, and is utilized as a last punishment for those who act out and hurt others. It causes mental illness because it is so contrary to human life.  Try enduring it until the Judgment Day!

If you find this humorous, that was the writers’ intent.  However, I am sure hell itself will not be funny at all.  Hell is the holding ground for those who have denied their Maker.  It is the embodiment of God’s final grace for those to turn their wicked hearts back to Him so that on the Final Day, they might find their names in the Lamb’s Book of Life.

You do not have to go to hell.  You can turn and repent and believe in Jesus, do good works, and love God.  Then you can escape this punishment.

Seeking the One~

Take heed that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that in heaven their angels always see the face of My father who is in heaven.  For the Son of Man has come to save that which was lost.

What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine and go to the mountains to seek the one that is straying?

And if he should find it, assuredly, I say to you, he rejoices more over that sheep than over the ninety-nine that did not go astray.

Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.

Bless the LORD, you His angels, who excel in strength, who do His word, heeding the voice of His word.

Bless the LORD, all you His hosts, you servants of His, who do His pleasure.

Bless the LORD, all His works, in all places of His dominion.

Bless the LORD, O my soul!

Ancient Stone Circles in Mideast Baffle Archaeologists

But they don’t baffle us.  Because we understand that the Israelite Nation worshiped Almighty ALHYM and held the circle as the sacred representation of Him, and His realm, as given to us by Him.

There are 11 circles.  I believe the missing one represents the coming Messiah.  Ancient man is showing God, and only God (because the circles are too large for man to regard easily), that we are eagerly awaiting our Messiah, our perfect Lamb to deliver us from our evil selves and inevitable death, unto everlasting salvation.

The circles all have a mean diameter of 400 meters, or 1300 feet, which correlates to 833.33 cubits.  I have to wonder if ancient man did not have a concept of the metric system before it came into being in modern times.  Circumference = 2 * pi * r, so this means each circle’s perimeter is around 2700 cubits, perhaps even intended to be 2720 cubits.  22/7 is pi so anytime we see these numerals being used, it is almost always a reference to circle, or the divine realm of God.  Interestingly, the inner area of each circle would be around 600,000 cubits.  6 is a number that means not quite finished yet.  7 means completion, and 8 means more than enough; ample.  Noah was in his 600th year of life when he was commissioned by God to make the divine life raft for all remaining life.  Man is still in his 6th day of creation, while God rests in His 7th day.

With 11 circles each measuring as a perfect circle for God (2720), and having an area representing almost-but-not-quite there yet (600.000) proportions, it is quite the calling card for Mighty ALHYM to see on His throne in Heaven.  The Hebrew Nation calling out to YHWH ALHYM, “We honor You and worship You.  We are not complete and we know it.  If we please You, Almighty LORD, please send Your Messiah to us.  We are waiting for Him.”

Perhaps it was His pleasure with this humble Israelite offering to their One God, which spurned Him to finally send the Messiah, Jesus Christ.

As Numerous as the Sand on the Seashore…

After Abraham offered Isaac as a sacrifice on Mount Moriah, God blessed him and said because Abraham had offered his only son as a sacrifice to God, Abraham’s offspring would be as numerous as the stars in the sky and the sand on the seashore.

 

I traveled home to Texas this past summer and we went to Galveston to swim in the surf and walk along the beach.  However, we were never able to even get down on the beach at any place because seaweed had washed on shore along the entire coast, and the rotting piles of it created a stench that made the eyes water, and also created an unhealthy sulfuric haze in the air.

 

I found in the news that not only the Gulf Coast was affected, but the Atlantic coast, and English coastline as well:  all were covered in rotting seaweed, with little sign of sand anywhere.

 

It occurred to me that this might be a sign from God that He is not going to multiply His people anymore, or a bold attempt by the enemy to blot out God’s promise to our Patriarchs that His Chosen Ones will be as numerous as the sand on the seashore.  Since this event is unprecendented in our recorded history, there is no doubt in my mind it is a spiritual omen of the possibility that man might be on the way out…

 

To correlate with this, as a midwife I have noticed a distinct and fairly recent increase in the  number of women having problems in labor and delivery.  The cesarean section rate is climbing rapidly, and this cannot always be attributed to aggressive management and unnecessary surgery.  Indeed, many more women and babies would be dying without surgical intervention and the reason is not easily discernible.  Infertility is not uncommon as well.

 

Add to this signs similar to the plagues of Egypt, like water turning to ‘blood’ in China, and diseased livestock with mad cow; along with the wars in the middle east where Muslims are killing Christians and Jews, and it does not bode well for humanity.

 

Perhaps obliterating the sand is just the first sign.  Maybe He will blot out the stars, and cover the dust of the earth as well, rendering life hopeless.

To Abram:  ~Genesis 15:5~ And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.

To Abraham:  ~Genesis 22:17~ That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;

To Isaac:  ~Genesis 26:4~ And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;

To Jacob:  ~Genesis 28:14~ And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
