5]            So, let us tidy up the above Genesis 2:2-3 – in the previous part four. Jehovah chose the Sabbath Day or the seventh day as the day of rest, separating it specifically for the institutionalization of His worship. That day being the celebration of His perfection, I call that rest ‘a basking in the euphoria of His accomplishment’. The LORD appeared every evening, maybe 6PM –owing to the fact of man’s creation on the sixth day. The word ‘walking’ of Genesis 3:8 is halak (haw-lak’):  ‘literally to walk; figuratively lifestyle.’ Each day the LORD God was there, among them in Eden, it was a latria offering to the Creator. Adam and his wife constitute the number two of the invocation of the presence of JESUS. Amen. You can never find it anywhere in scriptural documentation of God the Father’s vacation of the empyreal throne. He is always seated there: on the throne. So, who is this Entity who walked into the Eden Garden ‘every cool of the day’? Not the Holy Spirit –no one can claim ocular perception of Him— which leaves us with none other than the only perceptible Second Member of the Godhood. Christ, indeed, had always been, just as the Father and Holy Spirit.

Lucifer must win the Woman – representing the Church – to his evil side.

                The Church is the most important institution in creation, Lucifer knew this. It was crucial for him to speak in the Church (to perform his evil infiltration) the same way he spoke words of rebellion in the heavenly assizes. If he had succeeded in the pollution of the mind of the structural entity of the church only –the Woman, that is— another structure – Adam’s wife – would be required, definitely. But Lucifer, through the serpentine machination, was able to hit the jackpot. He got the very priest of the Eden Church, Adam, the head of humanity, to toe the sinful slant of his wife’s perpetration. The Devil could not fully draft the Woman into the latria intended institution of his covin. Unfortunately, Cain, the first Antichrist, was a most willing tool of Satanism.

                Why is the Church-interest of Satanism such an intense crave? It is to facilitate Lucifer’s dream of apotheotic parallelism (the Devil wishes to apotheosize himself); satanic congregational establishment gets him to satiate his latria crave; it will lead to unscriptural ecumenism, which is intended to be led by a globally big church. As long as a gathering is put in place, whether Jesus is preached or not, Lucifer does not care, as long as the theological slant secretly apotheosize Satanism. The church of Satanism – Lucifer’s dream – gives him worship, and that is his maniacal crave!

“Why should I not become the fourth worshipped entity?” wished Lucifer.

                No doubt, Lucifer knows that the latria is a sole preserve of the Godhead. The bestiality of the tumultuous cravings of Lucifer’s mental palate must drive him to believe the impossible. “After all”, Lucifer thought, “they are Three,” and his diseased mind, goading his delusional intent to see nothing wrong with him (a created being), he said to himself, “why should I not become the fourth worshipped entity?” forgetting that nothing thought in the heart goes unnoticed by the Creator. Lucifer would not agree with divine protocol that no entity of creationism becomes an object of latria. Only the Eternal Ones, if the truth is to be told, receive latria. Amen.

Pharisees said ‘thy disciples do that which is not lawful on Sabbath day’.

                The Sabbath is essentially a day set aside for the worship of the Most High. Exodus 16:23 “And he said unto them, This is that which the LORD hath said, To morrow is the rest of the holy sabbath unto the LORD: bake that which ye will bake to day, and seethe that ye will seethe; and that which remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning.” Exodus 20:10 “But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:” Another unveiling of the Christ took place on a corn farm. They were telling Him how guilty He was: plucking grains for consumption. Jesus revealed who He truly is in Matthew 12:6-8, “But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the temple. 7) But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless. 8) For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.” Who is the Lord of Sabbath? Is it not the Eternal Being of Genesis 2:2?

                In Matthew 12:7-8, Jesus unveiled the unbelievable facticity of His Divinity. God Almighty, it was, who rested on the seventh day. The Lord Jesus says, “the Son of man is the Lord of Sabbath day,” where the ‘is’ is the Hebrew word esti (es-tee’): ‘third person singular of “to be”. Origin: third person singular present indicative of eimi (i-mee’) – the AM part of ‘I AM THAT I AM’ or Jehovah.

4]            Theological appropriation puts only one throne of the Divinity in the empyreal assizes. Jesus, somewhere in Scripture, sits at the right side of God. If it is not an imaginary throne for the Divinity of the Christ – because there is only one majestic seat of the Rainbow Administration – then His occupation of the right hand is not a locational issue of geographical stance; It is very spiritual, ergo, a title of the Christ. Amen. But of the ‘midst’ that is read in Revelation 5:6 is especially geographical: locating a particular Being. The geographical locative point of this ‘midst’ is most definitely in the middle position of the semi-circular arc of the elders’ thrones arrangement, and the middle point of the fixed aerial stations of the four living, angelic beings around the throne. This will pinpoint where Christ’s emanation is from: the very throne of the empyreal Majesty. A pictorial representation of His being there takes an all-of-a-sudden look when we see Jesus Christ there.

                Psalms 110:1 “The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.” There are two Lords in this verse. The first is Yahweh (Yehvah): ‘Jewish national name of God; (anglicized) Jehovah.’ This is the self-existing God – the Father. The second is ‘âdôn (aw-done’): ‘It is from an unused root (meaning to rule); sovereign, that is, controller (human or divine).’ The second Lord, ‘âdôn is the Divine Controller, by Whom “all things were created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers:” the next verse says, “And he is before all things, and by him all things consist” (Colossians 1:16-17). This Christ had always been; uncreated; eternally had been the Person of the right hand. After the salvation work of the cross it was a legal propriety to give Him the right hand of God which speaks of: possession of the utmost confidence, power, and preeminence; power and majesty; expressive of the honour done to Christ; participation of power; reception into the fellowship of God as regards dignity and dominion, exaltation to a participation in God’s reigning.

“He rested on the seventh day from all his work”

                Genesis 2:2-3 “And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. 3) And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.” Let it be understood that when the Bible records the Genesis 2:8 event of, “And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed”; it was not only His house on earth that He gave to His first Adamic children: the seventh day of rest was an engenderment of latria that began to be offered to the Most High. How does this unveil the Christ?

                Matthew 16:18 “And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” Does it not say, “For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them” [Matthew 18:20]? It says somewhere, “And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden” [Genesis 3:8]. This is the thirteenth time the Bible gives the sobriquet of the ‘LORD God’ to the Creator. The first time is in Genesis 2:4, “These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,” and other verses are: 2:5; 2:7; 2:8; 2:9; 2:15; 2:16; 2:18; 2:19; 2:21; 2:22 & 3:1.

Pharisees said thy disciples do that which is not lawful on Sabbath day

                Christianity being a creation of Jesus makes Him the Entity of latria. He did not just establish this way of salvation, He is the sustenance and the preserver of the lives of Christians. How could Jesus be physically present wherever two or three are gathered universally, in various places of the earth, in His name if Jesus Christ does not possess the ubiquity of Divinity? Selah! The unveiling facticity is that the One who walked the Garden of Eden in Genesis 3:8 is the selfsame Entity who made the asseverations of Matthew 16:18 and 18:20.

3]            Revelation 7:9-10 “After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; 10) And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.”  From this verse, ‘salvation’ in Greek is soteria (sō-tee-riy’-a): ‘1. (the state of) safety. 2. (the quality of) preservation from harm and danger. 3. (properly, abstract) salvation (i.e. an act of rescue or saving). 4. (specifically) Salvation from Moral Failure and Death into Eternal Life through the Anointed-One, Jesus (Yeshua).’ The conjunction ‘and,’ kai (kai’), is apparently, a primary particle, having a connective and sometimes also a cumulative force. It means: ‘1. and. 2. (repeated in a list) often not expressed, being redundant in English as implicitly understood (i.e. Joseph and Mariam and Jesus went to Jerusalem). 3. also (and also, but also). 4. even. 5. both.’

                One indubitable fact is that celestial chronology has not scientific measurerability. It is of eternality. Celestial acceptability is of eternal consequence. Salvation is attributed to God the Father and to the Son. If the empyrean host dared not give soteria honour to a created being – as some want us to believe concerning Jesus Christ –, how could a grammatical ‘and’, having a cumulative force, be applied to the Father and to the Son. Christ and the Father do share the authorship of soteriological reality and the heavenly host attests to this realism. Amen.

“…and one sat on the throne” [Revelation 4:1].

                Astounding and quite apocalyptic is the celestial scenery that got unveiled in the book of Revelation 5:1-10 “And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals. 2) And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? 3) And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon. 4) And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon. 5) And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. 6) And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. 7) And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne. 8) And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints. 9) And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10) And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.”

“And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne” [Rev. 5:7].

                ‘Man’ of verses 3 and 4 is oudeis (oo-dice’) meaning: ‘no one, nothing’. God the Father had in His hand of eternality, a scroll. The angelic enunciation was beyond the capability of the angels or the crowned elders, ergo, beyond any being of creation. Only a hand of eternality could approach and also take from the eternal hand of God. This is a very good reason for the Trinitarian reality. Moments of exigencies, as this one, makes the Trinity very inevitable. When God must be seated, and God must be on His eternal feet and still be in the Almighty fashion of Jehovah, an Entity – of Divine equality – must be present for each occasion. The rectitudinous stance of God, seated as Judge, would not befit Him playing the role of the Redeemer-Advocate. Therefore, God the Son, Jesus Christ, the eternal One, Whose goings forth is of old, must be the One to stand on the eternality of feet and to stretch forth His Eternal hand, which has always, from eternal past, been known to the Father’s. God appropriately took it (the scroll) from God. Hallelujah. Amen.

Only the Hand of eternality could take from that of Divinity

                What is this that is read in the sixth verse which emphatically says, “in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb”? Cynosure of empyreal gaze is the beholding of the Lamb’s perfection of Divinity. All eyes were on the divine Person of Jesus.

2]            This Son is the same One of Pauline didacticism of Hebrews 1:1-8 “God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 2) Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; 3) Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; 4) Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. 5) For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? 6) And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him. 7) And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire. 8) But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.” This Lord from heaven receives angelic latria –which belongs only to God— underscoring the indubitability of the Deity of Jesus.

The Transfiguration of JESUS CHRIST

                2Peter 1:16-17 “For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. 17) For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” The ‘majesty’ of verse 16 is megaleiotes (me-ğa-lei-o’-tees), meaning: ‘superbness, i.e. glory or splendor.’ He cannot be human or an angel to wield such majesty known only of the Divinity on the Mount of Transfiguration scriptural documentation. Hebrews 1:5-6 “For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? 6) And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.”

“…he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven” [John 3:13].

                Psalm 110:1“A Psalm of David. The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.” There are two Lords involved in this Davidic accessibility to Divine conversation. The first LORD is Yhvah (yeh-vaw’) יְהוָֹה Yhovah (yeh-ho-vaw’) Yhow (yeh-ho’) [as a prefix]: ‘1. (meaning) the self-Existent or Eternal, the I AM. 2. (person) Yahweh (Yehvah), Jewish national name of God. 3. (anglicized) Jehovah. 4. (as a name prefix) Yeho-. 5. (As expressed in Hebraic Koine Greek) ἐγώ εἰμί, I AM (literally: I myself, I am).’The second ‘Lord’ is ‘adown (aw-done’) אָדֹן ‘adon (aw-done’) [shortened] ‘sovereign (i.e. controller, human or divine).’ There are three distinct LORDS in the heavenly assizes: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. If the first LORD is the Eternal Father, and the second Lord is the Second Member of the Godhead, Christ, then Jesus Christ is indeed the Lord from heaven (John 3:13). That Jesus Christ has Sovereignty of celestial Lordship means that angels have always worshipped Him. Angels, as we understand, will not worship any other save the Lord God. The Second Member of the Godhead is, without doubt, essentially God.

The Celestial assizes of HIS Majesty

                Revelation 4:2-4 “And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. 3) And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald. 4) And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.” This scenario gives empyrean latria to God the Father, the First Member of the Godhead. This is another scenario of empyrean documentation found in the Book of Revelation 5:8 “And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.” This latria is worthily given to the Second Member of the Godhead, Jesus Christ – the Lamb.

                1Peter 5:7 reads, “Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.” The Greek for ‘casting’ is epirrhipto (e-piy-rhiyp’-tō): ‘to throw upon.’ The One who exhibits divine cares, according to this verse, is God the Father. Jesus calls Himself the Shepherd. John 10:11, “I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.” Just as all and sundry are expected to cast burden of needs on the Father, it is as well expected of every human, each of whom is born of sin, to submit to the spiritual herding of Jesus Christ. Jesus cares just as much as the Eternal Father of lights does. The Shepherd stance of Jesus is of Divinity when you studiously read Psalms 23:1 and 80:1. The Divine Subject of both Psalms is the LORD God. This tells me that Jesus Christ is the Old Testament LORD God. Amen!

The revelation of Jesus made John “fell at HIS feet as dead” [Revelation 1:17].

1]            Whenever I am faced with a need to unravel the facticity of an issue, I resort to asking salient questions. By the time the third, fourth or the sixth question is answered, the supplier of the answers discovers, if he is truthful to himself, that I am telling the truth. I rarely, ergo, go into arguments unless I am very sure of what I am laying asseverations on.

                Researches upon assiduity of purpose, spent in the studies of the Scripture, definitely result in measure of the stature of full scriptural knowledge, no doubt. Unveiling the Second Member of the Godhead is an awesome wonder. Let us go on an exploration of the Bible.

                Genesis 1:1-3 “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2) And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 3) And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.” It is evident that the first Speaker of the re-creationism is none other than the First Member of the Godhead, God the Father.

                The Holy Spirit having received scriptural introduction in the second verse, the ‘Light’ of verse three (the True Light of John 1:9) is none other than the Second Member of the Godhead, receiving the centre of Divine-attraction: for He is the physical connectivity of the creationism. Colossians 1:16-17 “For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: 17) And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.” The word ‘consist’ is sunistao (sïn-iy-staō’): ‘to set together.’ By Him, Jesus, everything in creation is held – glued together, if you would. This Jesus cannot be an angel. Obviously cannot be. He is the Creator.

Sinless Adams –male and female

                Directly involved in creation is the Second Member of the Godhead. The first time of Mosaic use of the name, “LORD God,” through the inspiration of the Creator, was in reference to the Second Member of the Godhead. At the creation of the first woman the Lord God said, “Very good”. Why? The Church had just been founded. Lucifer needed a church, ergo, the Church to actualize his dream of apotheosis. The personification of the Church (Adam’s wife) would not divorce her spiritual Husband (Christ) and neither would she part ways with her earthly husband (Adam) –big problem for the apotheotic thirst of Satanism. The proof of the aberration of Satanism became visible when Lucifer used Cain as the personification of his own church when it was evident that the female Adam would not be part of the church of Satanism.

                To ensure that the Church remains untampered with, Jesus said, “And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it” [Matthews 16: 18]. Who is the ‘rock’ here? Is it not Him, the Rock of ageless of ages, Jesus Christ Himself? There is a Greek difference between ‘Peter’ and ‘rock’. Now, the name ‘Peter’, Petros (pe’-tros), means: ‘a (piece of) rock.’ Quite unlike petros is ‘rock’; the Greek petra (pe’-tra): ‘1. (properly) a mass of solid rock (such as a solidly massive foundation or as jutting upward for hewing out a large family chamber tomb). 2. (person) The Solid Rock (of Ages), Jesus, Yeshua. 3. (Note) The solid rock is in distinct contrast to a piece of rock or a rock fragment.’ While ‘Peter’ is ‘a fragmental piece’, the ‘rock’ is ‘a large mountainous boulder’, debunking the Roman Catholic insistence that upon Peter – the Apostle – was the Church of Jesus founded.  

“…the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him”

                Genesis 2:4 “These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,” where in reference to the LORD God is the Light of Genesis 1:3, the Divine entity, in direct connectivity to creationism. Matthew 3:16-17 “And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: 17) And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” The title ‘Son’ is huios (hwiy-yos’): ‘a grown up male offspring, who, unquestionably, and legally empowered to represent his father in all matters.’ This legality makes the huios, traditionally, equal with his father, ergo, Jesus Christ is equal in divinity with the Father.

Lucifer’s Smoothness of Shenanigan (5)

“Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil” [Matthew 4:1].

(…continues from part four…)

5)            The Devil came again with the tempting words of, “If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread” [Matthew 4:3]. No doubt, Lucifer knew the beginning of Jesus’ humanity. But he wanted to play with words. He, most definitely, had the knowledge of the divine Sonship of Jesus. Why ask to know of the obvious truth? Temptations come out of taboo laden acts. Again, it sounds quite anodynous, but the unseen priestcraft of Satanism employment is that if Jesus had gone ahead and performed this miraculous feat, it would have been at the behest of Satanism and the Lord Jesus would have operated under the influence of Lucifer, as the god of this sinful world. Jesus would have pleased the enemy of His Father.

Command that these stones be made bread

                Imagine Jesus pleasing not the Father, of whom the Scripture had earlier made the asseverative pronouncement of “And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased” [Matthew 3:17]. And the Word of God opened His holy mouth and spoke the Scripture proceeding from Himself, quoting the very words of His dictation to the ears of Moses, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God” [Matthew 4:4; Deuteronomy 8:3]. This is what the Eden occupants should have uttered to destroy the Devil’s prevaricating utterance.

                The Devil is goaty in stubbornness. He just would not stop and this time he, “saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone” [Matthew 4:6]. Who says “The Devil knows not the Bible”? He studies the Bible very well, and from the same protocol of the Divinity he makes sure to tempt people with God’s forbidden acts. The intriguing fact here is that, the choice of ‘cast’ and ‘down’ are: ballo, ‘violent throw’ and kato, ‘downwards’ respectively. Why tell the Last Adam to cast Himself down atop the place of congregational latria? If Jesus had done that, HE would have killed His humanity before the Calvary substitutionary death – massive loss to the Divinity.

If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down [Matthew 4:6]

                Lucifer’s desideration is the latria crave. All this hullabaloo is nothing short of his diabolical hunger for apotheosis; he could not help being his maniacal self, as he told Jesus, “All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me” (Matthew 4:9). This is a bodacious attempt. It demands a righteous indignation. “Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve” (Matthew 4:10). The very second the masquerading serpentine shenanigan called God a liar, the woman should have skinned Lucifer of the ophidian meander that crawled into the Eden Garden. What Adam and his wife would not do is what Jesus, on behalf of humanity, brought to consummation. Amen.

                Some questions arising from this bodacious effrontery are: Does Lucifer not know that Jesus is the Son of God? Does he not have the knowledge of the Second Membership of Jesus’ Godhood? Does he not know that in this Jesus is the Eternal Christ, the Creator? Why would he decide to tempt his Lord even the Author of creation, and stubbornly so? Did he not see John the Baptist wanting, in the humility of his heart, to decline to baptize the same LORD from heaven? I know why he was able to muster such feat fit for a bodacious bestiality. Lucifer is an egregiousness of profanity; he is suffering from acute dementia; his madness knows no bounds.

Then the devil leaveth him [Matthew 4:11]

                Anyone who decides to go against the good LORD God of the celestial assizes and will come face to face with the Lord of creationism in antagonism cannot be anything but an incorrigible evil. Egregious stupidity must be the mark of any being that intentionally cuts himself away from Jehovah. No wonder, unlike the heaven-bound, adopted Christians, Lucifer is eternally damned!

                The Calvary victory breaks and it makes of non-effect the pricking discomfort of his goad. What does that mean? If sinfulness is the sting, then the ‘entire gulp’ of death is the victory that Jesus gives to anyone who becomes one with Him, having removed the original sin from him. He would not come to the earth to be crucified the second time, therefore, this separation from sin is eternal. We, the Christians can never be called or considered sinners again. The hellish thrust, Lucifer’s victory, that mankind had suffered, does not hold any victimisation for Christians. We have been saved from death. Lucifer’s trophies do not include Christians. Willfully we had sinned, in the past, and were responsible for the evils of our thirsty crave. But now our salvation is wholly of the Godhead. The Godhead takes care of everything. Get born again so that you too can say, “O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?” Amen.

“…that where I am, there ye may be also” [John 14:3].

                Jesus gave us a promise in the book of John 14:3 “And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.” This, the Devil has no power, whatsoever, over. It is a divine promise. “For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed” [Malachi 3:6]. Lucifer did not know that the Church was God’s trump card to silence him into eternality of his guilt. God gave him a mind to think with. He thought he could use the thoughts of his derailed mentality to bring himself to Jehovah’s par of equality. God gave him a freewill and erroneously believed his freewill has the capability to discard the Creator, and be a god unto himself and to any thinking intelligence that will decide to follow him. Woefully, Lucifer has failed. Amen.

Get born again. Say this simple prayer, believing it with all your heart. Say:

“Dear heavenly Father, I come to You now in the name of Jesus Christ. I believe in my heart that Jesus is the Son of God. I believe that Jesus died on the cross for my sin. I believe that You raised Him from the dead. I confess with my mouth that Jesus is Lord and I receive Him now as my Lord and my Saviour. I give God all the glory. Amen!”

Lucifer’s Smoothness of Shenanigan (4)

“…till iniquity was found in thee.” [Ezekiel 28:15]

(…continues from part three…)

4)            Two Peterine revelations prove who these beings are. 2Peter 2:4-5 “For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; 5) And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;” and the word ‘ungodly’ is the Hebrew asebēs(as-eb-ace’): ‘irreverent, that is, (by extension) impious or wicked.’ The second Scripture is 1Peter 3:19-20 “By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison; 20) Which sometime were disobedient when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.”

The ‘spirits in prison’ are the first putschists in heaven; they heard Noah but were bent on the destruction of the Adamic race by polluting the earth, making it too unholy for the Incarnation. When Jesus Christ went down to hell preaching at the time of this Scripture (1Peter 1:19), it was the preaching of ‘time’s up’ impending doom for the angelic occupants of the deepest part of hell.

“Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan” [Matthew 4:10]

                 Those were, no doubt, the angels who married the daughters of mankind. Satanism had weakened the spiritual stance of mankind which made the angels too irresistible for them to say no to them. Lucifer had a very good reason for the conjugal relationship between the fallen angels and daughters of Adam. The offspring of their union led to the procreation of half-men-half-fallen-angels, whose pollution of mankind could affect the holy birth of the expected Messiah, Jesus Christ. The eventual Incarnation albeit put Satan’s smooth shenanigan in eternal trouble, he did not stop his evil deeds.

                Genesis 19:4-5 “But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter: 5) And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.” Is it not the same method of using man to achieve his satanic crave that is being unfolded in the lives of this Sodomized land? Satan’s malice aforethought, no doubt, was to goad them to display wanton amatory drive towards the annihilating choice for angels of the living God. Every satanic initiation is targeted at the destruction of the initiate, who thinks he has become a recipient of arcane power. Their forefathers, they thought, had enjoyed homosexuality all their lives; its continuance would be traditional.

Homosexualism is of Satanism; it caused the annihilation of Sodom and Gomorrah.

                There was something remarkable – exhilaratingly exotic – about these bright looking strangers, their pestiferous crave told them. The minds of perverts always want to be the first to taste of an iniquity. Prideful – unfortunately so – is the heart that deflowers innocent lasses. The smoothness of this shenanigan is certainly not the end of the story. It is God’s story, ergo, it must end in His salvific favour. The historical facticity of the death and the consequent resurrection of Jesus Christ embolden us to wield the exclamation, “Death is swallowed up in victory!” 1Corinthians 15:55-57 “O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? 56) The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. 57) But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” Like the bestiality of Lucifer’s impulsive destructiveness of the dragon in him, death has continued to prick mankind, with his steel pointed goad, into hell and triumphantly so, claiming his victory over the incessant deaths of the Adamic progeny. In the preceding 54^th verse of 1Corinthians chapter 15, the Greek translation of ‘swallowed up’ is katapino (ka-ta-piy’-nō), meaning: ’to drink down, i.e. gulp entire’.

Satanism – the director of sin.

                Lucifer goads man into sinning. Sin is actually the prodding device. The enabling strength of the effectiveness comes from the canonical laws of the Bible. The Bible – of our determined shun –  is the very volume of protocol that Satan had always used to paint us in the ominous guilt before the throne of celestial assizes. “But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” This is the crescendo of the matter of satanic shenanigan.

Only an incorrigibly insane being would dare tempt God, his CREATOR [Matthew 4:1-11].

                The second Man, also called the last Adam must meet with the Devil for another talk. Lucifer talked man into submitting to his shenanigan. Remember I said, earlier on, that the obnoxious opportunity given to Lucifer’s talk is the bane of man’s woes? Well, the Son of Man must have to talk with the Devil. It took place in the wilderness. Shame on you, Lucifer, you could not even keep the fruitfulness of the garden clean. The erstwhile luxuriant Eden, four thousand years later had become an aridity of fruitless wildness of uninhabitable forest. And the stage was staged. He thought he would have it easy feeding Jesus who was very hungry by the time of the meeting, owing to the forty days’ fast. Remember how he was able to feed the woman of his evil intentions?

Get born again. Say this simple prayer, believing it with all your heart. Say:

“Dear heavenly Father, I come to You now in the name of Jesus Christ. I believe in my heart that Jesus is the Son of God. I believe that Jesus died on the cross for my sin. I believe that You raised Him from the dead. I confess with my mouth that Jesus is Lord and I receive Him now as my Lord and my Saviour. I give God all the glory. Amen!”

Lucifer’s Smoothness of Shenanigan (3)

(…continues from part two…)

3)            Where is the “Ye shall not surely die” liar, when the truthfulness of the Divinity stood before them? Genesis 3:12-15, “And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat. 13) And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. 14) And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: 15) And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.”

Lucifer fell, losing his empyreal estate

                The Creator did not even bother to acknowledge the physical presence of Lucifer, the real spirit behind the serpentine shenanigan. What does this tell me? Lucifer is a persona non grata. Uselessness is the order of his evil being. Adam’s wife gave her precious time and ears to a being of perdition. Methinks Lucifer had all the answers for spiritual ascendancy. Where art thou, Lucifer, when the LORD God stood to judge evil. Lucifer, the liar, and the father of it, could not be heard again. Of truth it is, that the light of God’s word which Adam made available to his wife, did shine but the darkness of Satanism that hung around the woman did not allow the woman to ‘comprehend’ it. The Greek for ‘comprehend’ (found in John 1:5) is katalambanō (kat-al-am-ban’-o): ‘to lay hold of so as to make one’s own, to obtain, attain to, to make one’s own, to take into one’s self, appropriate’. Now that the physical presence of the Truth stood to judge, the persona non grata stance of Lucifer is revealed. Though, unfortunately, he had caused an unforgettable havoc on the Adamic race.

“Adam”, and said unto him, “Where art thou?”  

                Genesis 6:1-3 “And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, 2) That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. 3) And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.” Why commentaries on this verses should run in diverse Scriptural didactics is quite untenable. Some teach that the ‘sons of God’ are the progenies of Seth. ‘The daughters of men’ to some others are the children of Cain. The word ‘men’ or the singular ‘man’ from verses 1-3 is the Hebrew ‘âdâm (aw-dawm’) meaning: ‘man, mankind, human being’. Seth was never the progenitor of the Adamic existence, his father, Adam, the first man, is. In the genealogy of man, Luke 3:38 reads, “Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God.”

Adam: a personal mould of the Divinity

                The reason why Adam is called the ‘son of God’ is the same reason why angelic beings are given the same title. Angelic beings were created, one after the other, directly by the Creator, just as Adam was, in the Eden Garden. Seth was not directly created by God; his birth was through the matrix mechanism of Adamic procreation. An argument is likely to pose, “How do you explain the fact that Israelites are children of God?” The answer to this is quite simple. God’s covenant with Abraham made them God’s ‘people’. Leviticus 26:12 “And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my people.” The noun ‘people’ is‛am (am) in Hebrew, meaning: ‘nation; persons, members of one’s people, compatriots, country-men; kinsman, kindred’. Israel means: ‘he will rule as God’ or ‘a prince by God’s side.’ Israel is God’s son by adoption: spiritual. Remember the Pauline exegetical unearthing of Romans 8:15 “…but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father?” The ‘we’ refers to Christians. ‘Adoption’ is uihothesia (hwee-oth-es-ee’-ah): ‘the placing as a son, that is adoption (figuratively Christian sonship in respect to God).’

“the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair” [Genesis 6:2]

                The daughters are the offspring of humanity; and the sons of God are the fallen angelic host. Did they not lose their estates – positions – in heaven? Revelation 12:7-12 “And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, 8) And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. 9) And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. 10) And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. 11) And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. 12) Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.”

He hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness [Jude 6]

                Fallen angels, and not demons, were the ones who fell down from heaven to the earth. The term ‘first estate’ of verse 6 is archē (ar-khay’): ‘(abstractly) beginning; (concretely) chief – in time or place.’ They were regarded as principalities. They lost their original excellency, purity, dignity and holiness. Let us read from Jude 1:6, “And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.” Who were these chained in the hell of Tartarus? They are the same angels who married human daughters. The children that came from that unholy marriages were progenies of angelic pollution – half-angels and half-human freaky births.

Get born again. Say this simple prayer, believing it with all your heart. Say:

“Dear heavenly Father, I come to You now in the name of Jesus Christ. I believe in my heart that Jesus is the Son of God. I believe that Jesus died on the cross for my sin. I believe that You raised Him from the dead. I confess with my mouth that Jesus is Lord and I receive Him now as my Lord and my Saviour. I give God all the glory. Amen!”
