The Moment I Become Alive
When does life begin?
This has been a hotly debated question in the United States and other places. On the one side there are the pro-life people who say human life begins at conception and that abortion is murder. On the other side there are the pro-death people, although they prefer the term pro-choice, who say that human life begins at birth and that abortion is simply the removal of an unwanted fetus before it becomes alive.
The arguments for and against abortion really boils down to one question:
When was the moment I became alive?
There is no one better to ask this question than the Author of life. The Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) has recorded His answers about the definition of life in the Book of Truth (The Bible).
So when was the moment I became alive?
Human beings come into existence in their most basic state at the moment of conception (Genesis 4:1). They are the children of their father from the moment that he begets them in their mother (Genesis 5:3). The Father of Truth already knows people while they are still in the womb (Psalm 139:13-15). He is the One who forms them in the womb (Isaiah 44:2).
So in the most basic sense the moment my mother conceived and my father begot me was the moment that I became alive. So abortion is murder and those who perform abortions are Serial Killers.
Yet children cannot experience human life as long as they are living in the womb. They cannot experience eating, drinking, and human fellowship in the womb. They see nothing but darkness in the womb. They can never smell a flower in the womb. They cannot run or jump or do about anything in the womb. They cannot learn an occupation or reach their potential in the womb. In short, they cannot experience the physical world and all the wonders in it until the cord is cut.
Of course, they also cannot experience the miseries of life as well which is why people going through terrible trials sometimes wish that they had never been born (Job 3:9-11).
It is for these reasons that they can neither do good nor do evil (Romans 9:10-11). The unborn have no actions to be judged for doing so they will not go to the Chamber of Horrors for their sins. It is for this reason that that the Children of Lies (those who disobey the Father of Truth because they do not love Him) really would be better off if they had never been born (Mark 14:21).
So even though people are alive in the womb they are not alive to the physical world. Yet to be born into this world they have to end their existence in the womb. So in another sense the moment that I was born was the moment I became alive.
In the same way that people end one existence to come into another existence when they are born into the physical world there is another existence that they cannot come into as long as they are wired into the physical world. They cannot experience the world seen through the eyes of the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost) while they are ruled by their physical senses (1 Corinthians 2:14).
Just as they had to be born the first time to experience the natural world they must be born again to experience the spiritual world (John 3:3). Just as they were born into the flesh by their mother they must be born into the spirit by the Spirit of Truth (John 3:6). Just as they were begotten by their father in order to come into the physical world so also they must be begotten by the Father of Truth in order to come into the spiritual world (1 Peter 1:3).
Still people have to be born first into the physical world before they can be born again into the spiritual world (1 Corinthians 15:46). When they are born again then they no longer live their lives based on what their physical senses tell them but rather live their lives based on the Spirit of Truth tells them (Romans 8:5-7). They must die to the demands of their flesh in this physical world before they can experience life in the spiritual world (Romans 8:12-14).
People are dead in their sins until they were born again (Ephesians 2:1-3). They are dead to the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) long as they lived for the pleasure of their flesh (1 Timothy 5:6). They are not the Children of Truth (those who obey The Father of Truth because they love Him) and they cannot know Him (1 John 3:1). They are The Living Dead.
People who surrender their lives to Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) pass from death into life (John 5:24). Those who are born again no longer live for the desires of their flesh but rather for the desires of their Father (Romans 6:11-13). They have been translated from the world of the flesh where death reigns to the world of the spirit where life reigns (Colossians 1:13-14).
So even though I was born in the flesh shortly after 8 am on November 15, 1962 I was dead to the Father of Truth. I was only sucking air and occupying space until I surrendered everything to the Man of Truth shortly after midnight on November 13, 1982. That was the moment I really became alive.
Still the Children of Truth remain in this world like overdue babies remaining in the womb. The Children of Truth no longer belong in this world (John 15:19). They remain in this world to carry out the will of the Father of Truth just like the Man of Truth remained in this world for the very same purpose (John 17:14-16).
They have the Spirit of Truth living in them instead of the spirit of this world (1 Corinthians 2:12). They do not think about things in the same way as those of this world (Ephesians 4:20-24). They are to be like the Man of Truth in this present physical world (1 John 4:17).
Still the Children of Truth long to be with the Man of Truth (John 13:36-37). They will finally be with him when they leave their bodies (2 Corinthians 5:6-8). They have nothing to lose and everything to gain by shedding this mortal coil (Philippians 1:21).
Like a baby leaving the womb at birth to begin experiencing a world that they cannot comprehend so also the Children of Truth leave this world at death to begin experiencing a better existence that they cannot comprehend (1 Corinthians 13:12).
So the Children of Truth are Better Off Dead. The moment I breathe my last breath on Earth will be the moment I become alive.
Yet even then though they are with the Man of Truth they still do not have a body like his body. Only their spirit and soul is in Heaven with him (Revelation 6:9).
So they long for the redemption of their bodies (Romans 8:23). They wait for a sinless spiritual body to replace their former natural bodies that were infested with sin (1 Corinthians 15:42-44). They look for that day when they shall be like the Man of Truth in spirit, soul and body (1 John 3:2)!
The day is coming soon when the Children of Truth who died will get their new bodies and leave this Earth in them at the sound of the trumpet (1 Thessalonians 4:16)! They will be followed in short order by the Children of Truth who are alive on the Earth (1 Thessalonians 4:17). They will leave behind their existence of living with the Man of Truth without a body and enter into a new existence of living with him in a body that is just like his on The Day of Alarming.
The moment I hear the sound of that trumpet will be the moment I become alive!
However, the Children of Truth are not going to be living in Heaven forever in these glorified bodies. The Children of Truth are coming back with him in their glorified bodies to fight as the army of the Man of Truth (Joel 2:7-11). They will come with him when he brings an end to the kingdom of the Man of Lies (The Antichrist aka The Beast) to set up his kingdom (Revelation 19:13-15).
The Man of Truth is going set up a kingdom on this Earth that will never be overthrown (Daniel 2:44-45). He is going to send out the Law of Truth (Torah aka The Law) and peace from his throne in Jerusalem (Isaiah 2:2-4). He is going to rule over every country on the entire Earth (Revelation 11:15)!
He is going to have the Children of Truth reign over various people groups (Matthew 19:28). They are going to reign on this Earth with the Man of Truth (2 Timothy 2:11-12).
This world is going to submit to the Man of Truth in Total Surrender. The Children of Truth are going leave behind their existence in Heaven to reign with him on Earth. They will finally begin to rule on his behalf on the Earth instead of suffering on his behalf on the Earth. It will be a day like no other! The moment I take the throne of what the Man of Truth assigns me to reign will be the moment I become alive.
However this universe will not be completely redeemed during this time. Things will still not be perfect. It will still need to be completely redeemed (Romans 8:19-22).
The Father of Lies (HaShatan aka Satan Aka The Devil) will be bound so that he cannot tempt the people that still live in natural bodies for a thousand years (Revelation 20:1-3). The day will come when he will be loosed for a short time (Revelation 20:7). Many of those in natural bodies will join him in rebelling against the Father of Truth (Revelation 20:8). They will all be done away with (Revelation 20:9).
Then the Father of Lies will be cast into the Lake of Fire to suffer forever (Revelation 20:10). Finally all of the Children of Lies will then be given immortal bodies and cast into the Lake of Fire to suffer with their father forever (Revelation 20:11-15).
Then the entire universe will be changed just like the bodies of the Children of Truth were changed so that this current universe is no longer remembered (Isaiah 65:17). Everyone will worship the Father of Truth in this new universe (Isaiah 66:21-23). There will only be righteousness in this new universe (2 Peter 3:13). The entire universe that the Children of Truth had experience up to that point will be completely replaced with a new universe that they have never experienced (Revelation 21:1)!
The Father of Truth will once again dwell among men, wipe away every tear and making all things new (Revelation 21:2-4). The Children of Truth will live with Him in the New Jerusalem forever (Revelation 21:10-23). The people in natural bodies that did not join with the Father of Lies in the final rebellion will bring their offerings into the new capital of the new universe (Revelation 21:24-26).
The Children of Truth will be with the Man of Truth and the Father of Truth in new sinless bodies living in a new city on a new Earth in a new universe! It will finally be The End of All Trouble. The moment that I forget about this current universe, like a bad dream that is forgotten as soon as one wakes up, in that new universe is the final moment that I become alive!
So when does life really begin? Life begins at the cross that made the way for you to come into the House of Truth (Hebrews 12:1-3).
The moment you come into the House of Truth by surrendering your life to the Man of Truth because you believe that his Father raised him from the dead will be the moment that you become alive (Romans 10:8-10).
Come into the House of Truth.
