A Permanent Job

Is there such thing as a permanent job?

I have worked at many places as a consultant.  People used to ask me how I dealt with the instability of not having a permanent job.  I would then ask them how they dealt with the instability of being an employee.

I have seen the best employees laid off, and the worst ones retained at times.  I have seen people laid off because their department was eliminated, even as the company was expanding its workforce.  I have even been laid off myself, because I worked in a non-union state, and the company had signed a contract with the unions promising to lay off all non-union employees first.  (The union employees were also laid off later.)  I have worked for companies that went completely under, and everyone lost their job.  I have seen companies lay people off for no other reason than to make their quarterly earnings statement look better. 

I have seen too many people laid off from being employees to have any illusion about an employer providing anyone with a permanent job.  In the best case, a job will end because a person has retired or died.  All jobs are temporary.

Well, almost all jobs are temporary.  There really is a permanent job that some people will have one day.

This job is truly permanent.  There is no retiring from it, and it will not even be ended by death.  Also, whenever someone gets one of these jobs, they will never be demoted from their position, and they will never be promoted out of their position.

In order to understand these permanent jobs, it is necessary to understand a few things about the enterprise that will have these permanent jobs.

The first thing to understand is, that enterprise is going to be global.  There will not be a place on Earth that this enterprise does not control.  This enterprise is going to set the rules for every significant aspect of life for every person on Earth.

The second thing to understand is, that this enterprise is going to become global very quickly after it starts up.  No one will be able to stop its rise.

The third thing to understand is, that this enterprise is only going to increase and never decrease.  It will not ever become weaker, or poorer, or anything like that.  This enterprise will never go bankrupt or downsize.  This enterprise will have permanent jobs because this enterprise will be permanent.

The fourth thing to understand is, that this enterprise will not start up until the hiring ends.  Currently, the pool of new hires is being expanded.  This pool will continue to expand until the hiring ends, shortly before the enterprise starts up.

The fifth thing to understand is, that most of the new hires will not find out their exact position until after the hiring ends.  These jobs will all begin on the same day in the future.  While the new hires all will work together doing similar work to accomplish a common goal, they will not all have the same position.

Some will have positions of higher authority than others.  Some will report directly to the top man and be responsible for a well defined area.  They will have direct reports as well.  Others will report to one of those direct reports, and be responsible for a smaller well defined area within the area of their boss.  They will have direct reports as well.  This will continue on and on until those in the bottom layer are responsible for a very small well defined area.  They will have no direct reports among those who were hired, although they might have some small authority over a few people external to this enterprise in a limited area of responsibility.

The sixth thing to understand is, that the benefits of being part of this enterprise cannot be matched by anything that has ever came before it.  While there will be continually better benefits for those in positions of greater authority, everyone in this enterprise will have better benefits than everyone else on Earth.

The seventh, and second most important thing to understand is, that the permanent job given to each person in this enterprise, is determined by what they did before they are ever added to the pool of new hires.

People do not move up and down in this enterprise after they are assigned a position.  They cannot even influence their assignment after they are added to the pool of new hires.  Their position in this enterprise is determined one hundred percent by what they did before they were added to the pool of new hires.

No one can buy any position in this enterprise.  No one can gain a position through being born into the right family or having the right political connections.  No one can given a position due to popularity or talent.  No one can network their way to a better position.  Every new hire will be given the position that they earned.

The eighth, and the most important thing to understand is, that everyone on Earth can gain one of these permanent jobs.  No special talents or education or training are required to be hired.  None of these things will impact the position to be given to the new hires.

In like manner, there is no disability that will bar anyone from gaining any position in this enterprise.  No one will be denied being hired for any position based on skin color, ethnicity, gender, or even a criminal background.

Everyone is able to become an applicant to be part of this enterprise.  Every applicant can become a new hire of this enterprise.  This is a tremendous opportunity that is truly open to all.  Everyone has an equal opportunity to be hired for a permanent job in a top position in this enterprise.

These permanent jobs are the jobs that the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) will give to the Children of Truth (those who obey The Father of Truth because they love Him) one day.

Here are the details about each of the eight points that define these permanent jobs:

The enterprise will be global.

This enterprise that the Man of Truth will start up is going gain control of all nations (Psalm 22:27-28).  Both the people of Israel and all the countries of the Gentiles will come under control of his enterprise (Psalm 102:22).  This enterprise is the kingdom of the Father of Truth, which will break apart all other empires on Earth and take them over (Daniel 2:44-45).

This enterprise is going to cause all nations to bring their disputes to its headquarters and then use the Law of Truth (Torah aka The Law) to settle those disputes (Isaiah 2:2-4).  All nations will experience peace and prosperity, when this enterprise uses the Law of Truth to set the rules for every significant aspect of life for every person on Earth (Micah 4:1-4).

Every nation on Earth that refuses to come the headquarters of this enterprise in submission will be destroyed (Isaiah 60:11-14).  Every family on Earth that will come to these headquarters to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles each year, and the family refuses to come to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles will not get any rain that year (Zechariah 14:16-19).

The enterprise will rapidly expand.

This enterprise will start up with an announcement of global dominance over the human race (Revelation 11:15).

When the Man of Truth comes to start up this enterprise, then he will begin with making Jerusalem his global headquarters (Psalm 102:13-16).  When the Man of Truth comes to start up this enterprise, then the Gentile oppression of Jerusalem will end (Luke 21:24-27).

The enterprise of the Man of Truth is the rock that will destroy all enterprises that dominated the Earth before it, and then grow like a mountain that fills the whole Earth (Daniel 2:31-35).  This enterprise will be like a mustard seed that starts out small, but quickly grows to be very large (Matthew 13:31-32).

The enterprise will be ever increasing.

This enterprise will last forever (Daniel 4:2-3).  It will never cease to increase (Isaiah 9:6-7).   The Man of Truth will be the top man in this enterprise and it will never end (Luke 1:31-33).

This enterprise will increase until every person on earth is ruled by the Man of Truth (1 Corinthians 15:23-25).  This enterprise will never be shaken or come to an end (Hebrews 12:26-29).

The Children of Truth will rule over the human race with the Man of Truth (Revelation 2:26-28).  They will be seated with the Man of Truth in this ever increasing enterprise (Revelation 3:21).  They will keep their job of helping to reign over the human race forever (Revelation 22:3-5).

The enterprise will not start up until after the hiring ends.

The Children of Truth that have already been added to the pool of new hires are waiting for this enterprise to start up (Hebrews 11:13).  This enterprise will not start up until the hiring ends (Hebrews 11:39-40).

The gates will not be opened for Children of Truth to start their jobs, until after the descendants of the leaders who rejected the Man of Truth as the Messiah of Israel, call for him to save them and restore their prosperity (Psalm 118:20-26).  He will not return until the leaders of Jerusalem do this (Matthew 23:37-39).  He will not start up this enterprise in Jerusalem until this happens (Luke 13:34-35).

When the time of the unbelief of the Jewish people draws to an end, then the hiring of  believing Gentiles to work beside the believing Jews, in place of those Jews who refused to believe the Man of Truth was the Messiah of Israel, will come to an end (Romans 11:23-26).

Most new hires will be told their position after the hiring ends.

The positions of the Children of Truth will be determined after the Man of Truth comes to set up his enterprise (1 Corinthians 4:5-8). 

Even the top two positions in this enterprise will not be filled until the hiring ends (Matthew 20:20-23).

The position of ruling over the united kingdom of Israel will be given to King David after the global enterprise of the Man of Lies (The Antichrist aka The Beast) comes to an end (Jeremiah 30:7-9).   David will be the only ruler over the united kingdom of Israel (Ezekiel 37:22-25).  This position is not available to anyone else (Hosea 3:5).

The positions of ruling over the twelve tribes of Israel will be given to the twelve Original Apostles of Truth (Matthew 19:27-28).  These positions are not available to anyone else (Luke 22:28-30).

The Children of Truth will begin their permanent jobs after the global enterprise of the Man of Lies comes to an end, and the enterprise of the Man of Truth starts up (Daniel 7:25-27).  They will be given their positions as priests and kings after this enterprise starts up (Revelation 5:8-10).  They will be start their positions as priests and kings during the first phase of this enterprise (Revelation 20:4-6).

All new hires will receive amazing benefits.

All new hires will be made in the image of the Man of Truth, so that he may be the first born of his forever family (Romans 8:29).  They will have supernatural bodies that are made in the image of the Man of Truth (1 Corinthians 15:47-50).  They will be given the resurrected bodies that are like the resurrected body of the Man of Truth (Philippians 3:20-21).

These supernatural bodies will look like the former natural bodies of the new hires and will have flesh and bones (Luke 24:36-40).   They will be able to eat natural food, even though, their bodies do not need food to live (Luke 24:41-43).

These supernatural bodies will be able to change their form (Mark 16:12).  They will do this so well, that even those with natural bodies who knew them well, will not be able to recognize them (Luke 24:13-32).  They will be able to conceal and reveal their identity at will from those with natural bodies (John 20:14-16).

These supernatural bodies will be able to make themselves invisible to those with natural bodies (Luke 24:31).

These supernatural bodies will be able go through natural materials (John 20:19-20).  Nothing will be able to keep them from going where they want to go (John 20:26-27).

Natural bodies are kept alive by the blood that is in them (Leviticus 17:11).  These supernatural bodies will have no blood, so that they can have holes in them without bleeding (John 20:24-28).  No one in this enterprise will have natural bodies that are kept alive by blood (1 Corinthians 15:50).

These supernatural bodies will have super powers for fighting and cannot be to be harmed by those in natural bodies (Joel 2:7-11).  It will be as useless for those in natural bodies to fight against those in supernatural bodies as fighting against the Father of Truth Himself (Zechariah 12:8-9).  The wicked will be helpless before the new hires, when they come with the Man of Truth to bring judgment (Jude 1:14-15).

These supernatural bodies will be able to go up to Heaven (Luke 24:51).  They will be able to ascend to the Father of Truth (John 20:17).  Everyone who gets these supernatural bodies will be able to ascend to Heaven (Revelation 11:10-12).

Some of the new hires will receive these new bodies at the resurrection of the dead, before the enterprise starts up (1 Corinthians 15:42-44).  Others will receive these new bodies without even dying, before the enterprise starts up (1 Corinthians 15:51-53).  Every new hire will receive this benefit, before the enterprise starts up (1 Corinthians 15:54-58).

The new hires will go up to Heaven in these supernatural bodies, so they can come down from Heaven like the Man of Truth (Acts 1:9-11).  They will meet the Man of Truth in the air, so that they can be with him forever (1 Thessalonians 4:14-17).  They will become like the Man of Truth, when they go to meet with the Man of Truth (1 John 3:1-2).  They will come back to the Earth with him, when he returns from Heaven to start up this enterprise (Revelation 19:11-14).

All new hires will experience unending pleasures in these supernatural bodies (Psalm 16:9-11).  Their pleasures will continue like a river that never runs dry (Psalm 36:7-10).

All new hires will experience unending joy and favor from the Father of Truth (Psalm 5:11-12).  Their joy and gladness will never end (Isaiah 65:14-18).

The new hires will never feel hunger or thirst again (Isaiah 49:10).  The Man of Truth will personally take care of the final new hires forever (Revelation 7:15-17).

All new hires will live in the house of the Father of Truth forever (Psalm 23:6).  They will live in their own dwelling place inside of this house that the Man of Truth has been preparing for them, so they can be with him for all eternity (John 14:1-3).  This house will come down from Heaven in the final phase of this enterprise (Revelation 21:1-3).  They will see the Father of Truth in person and will perform their permanent jobs from the new and eternal headquarters of this enterprise forever (Revelation 22:3-5).

These benefits are beyond human experience in this life (Isaiah 64:4-5).  These benefits cannot be compared to anything in this life (1 Corinthians 2:9-10).

The position of the new hires will be based on their previous work.

The Children of Truth will have to give an account of their actions to the Man of Truth, before they are given their positions (Romans 14:8-12).  Their every action will be tested to determine the value it had for building up the enterprise of the Man of Truth (1 Corinthians 3:11-14). They will receive from the Man of Truth the position that they earned in this life (2 Corinthians 5:6-10).

Their position in this enterprise will be based on how faithful they were to do what they knew to do in this life (Matthew 25:14-23).  The size of their area of responsibility in this enterprise will be proportional to what they did with what they were given in this life (Luke 19:12-19).

Their position in this enterprise will be determined by how they kept the commandments of the Law of Truth, and what they taught others about keeping those commandments like the Man of Truth (Matthew 5:17-19).

Their position in this enterprise will be determined by how much they were willing to humble themselves in obedience to the Man of Truth (Matthew 18:1-4).  Their position in this enterprise will be determined by how far they were willing to go in serving other people like the Man of Truth (Mark 9:34-35).  Their position will be in their willingness to lay down their lives for others like the Man of Truth (Mark 10:43-45).

The applicants need to never faint in doing things in this life that have value in building up this enterprise, because these things will determine their permanent job (2 Corinthians 4:16-18).  They need to resist the Father of Lies (HaShatan aka Satan Aka The Devil) at all times, because the suffering that he afflicts on them for doing so, is only preparing them for a better position in the enterprise of the Father of Truth (1 Peter 5:8-10).  They need to be diligent to obey the truth at all times in this life, because that determines the permanent position that they will be given as new hires (2 Peter 1:10-12).

Anyone can become a new hire.

The Father of Truth provides an equal opportunity for everyone to be part of this enterprise (Acts 10:34-35).  The civilized and educated are not recruited more urgently for this enterprise than the uncivilized and uneducated (Romans 1:13-15).  Social status and ability have no impact on opportunity in this enterprise (1 Corinthians 1:26-28).  There is no discrimination based on ethnicity, legal status, or gender (Galatians 3:26-29).  Culture, and even prison records, are not determining factors in this enterprise (Colossians 3:10-11).

Anyone who calls on the name of the Man of Truth will be accepted as an applicant (Joel 2:32).  The Man of Truth both died and rose again for this very purpose (Acts 2:21-24).  Everyone who calls on the name of the Man of Truth because they believe this will be accepted as an applicant (Romans 10:10-13).

These applicants must lose their life to the Man of Truth in this life to become new hires when this life is over (Mark 8:34-35).  They must give their whole life to the Man of Truth as applicants, just as he gave his whole life so they could become new hires (Luke 9:22-24).

These applicants will be rejected as new hires, if they lived like they are ashamed of the Man of Truth in this life (Mark 8:36-38).  They must never act ashamed of the Man of Truth to gain what this world offers, if they want to gain everything that the Man of Truth will give the new hires (Luke 9:25-26).

The applicants need to endure every hardship, so they can become new hires that will be given a permanent job of reigning with the Man of Truth (2 Timothy 2:10-12).  They need to persist through every trial, so they can experience the joy that belongs to all new hires (1 Peter 1:7-9).  They need to persevere through all suffering for being associated with the Man of Truth, so they can experience the joy and gladness that comes from being a new hire when this enterprise starts up (1 Peter 4:12-13).

Every applicant that does these things will become a new hire (Matthew 10:17-22).

So, it is how you end that determines if you will be part of this enterprise, but it is how you live that determines your position in this enterprise.

I want to be great in this enterprise.  I want as high a position as possible, so I can be as close to the Man of Truth as possible.  I want to live a life that is pleasing to the Father of Truth, so I can be closer to Him when this enterprise enters the final phase.  I want to walk in all of His ways for all of my days.

If you want a high position in this enterprise, then you must spend your life living to please the King.   

You must learn how to walk in truth.  You must learn how to rightly divide the Word, so you can distinguish between the doctrine of truth and the doctrine of lies.  You must learn how to avoid the hidden danger.  You must learn how to do your part to fully carry out the Great Commission.

You must learn to hear the Spirit of Truth.  You must learn how to produce the sound of power.  You must learn how to turn on the power.  You must learn that the Spirit of the Law was given so the Law of Truth could be written on your heart.

You must learn how to keep the Law of Truth in way that the Father of Truth has always desired.  You must do this by putting the Sermon on the Mount into action.  You must never forget that coming into the House of Truth is the point of the Law of Truth.

You must be busy carrying out the Great Commission.  You must never lose sight of the most important thing you can do.  You must do what you can to bring as many people into the House of Truth as possible.  You must always remember that this is all that really matters.

You must not waste your life in pursuit of bigger, better, newer stuff.  You must do everything you can to take care of his forever family.  You must master Greco-Judeo wrestling, so you can use all of your abilities to build up this enterprise in this life. 

If you want to come into this enterprise, then you must come to the Man of Truth in total surrender.  You must complete The One Step Program.  You must take the deal that the Father of Truth offers.

You must come into the House of Truth by making the Man of Truth your king, because you believe that the Father of Truth raised him from the dead (Romans 10:9).

Come into the House of Truth!

It Is How You End

What is the most important day of your life?

There are many different opinions about the most important day in the life of people.  Some would say the day of your birth, because it made everything after that day possible.  Some would look at some milestone, like the day they completed their education.   Others would look the day they overcame some challenge, like when their business first began to truly profit and grow.  Others would look to a day tied to an important relationship, like the day they married, or the day they met their spouse.  Others might point to another day.

One thing that all of these answers have in common, is that the most important day in the life of people, is a day when everything changed.  Nothing was never the same after that day.  The struggles before that day were behind them, and they acquired what they had been struggling to obtain.

While all of these answers are good answers, none of them is the right answer.  There is one day that eclipses all other days in the life of every person.   The most important day of your life is the day that you die.

That day is better than the day of your birth, because all the struggles of life are behind you (Ecclesiastes 7:1).  That day is more important than all others, because you were literally preparing for this day your whole life, whether you knew it or not.  The sum total of your life cannot be known until that day.  It is the day that when your eternal destination is finalized.

It is not how you start that determines your eternal destination.  It is how you end.

This is evident when you consider some of the best known people in the Book of Truth (The Bible).

Consider Balaam.

Balaam consulted with the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) before he did anything (Numbers 22:8-11).  He only did what the Father of Truth told him to do (Numbers 22:12-13).  He would only speak the words that the Father of Truth gave him (Numbers 22:38).  The Father of Truth put His words in the mouth of Balaam (Numbers 23:16-17).  The Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost) came upon Balaam, he fell into a trance with his eyes wide open, and saw a vision of the Father of Truth (Numbers 24:2-4).  Finally, he fell into a trance with his wide open, and prophesied about the End Times (Numbers 24:14-16).

Afterwards, Balaam gave counsel to the enemies of Israel to cause the Father of Truth to bring a curse upon the Children of Israel (Numbers 31:16).  He betrayed them by teaching their enemies to convince many of the Children of Israel to participate in worshiping idols (Revelation 2:14).

So, Balaam was slain with the rest of the wicked by Moses (Moishe) (Joshua 13:21-22).  He had been following the way of righteousness, but he forsook it at the end (2 Peter 2:15-16).

Balaam started off righteously, but he ended wickedly.  It was not how Balaam started that determined his eternal destination.  It was how he ended.

Consider Samson.

Samson desired to marry an idol worshiper, instead of a woman who followed the Father of Truth, based solely upon what he saw with his eyes (Judges 14:1-3).  He engaged in gambling during the wedding feast (Judges 14:12-14).  He later engaged in sex with a prostitute of a temple dedicated to idols (Judges 16:1).

Afterwards, Samson became sexually involved with Delilah, another idol worshiper, who planned to betray him from the beginning (Judges 16:4-5).  He was then betrayed by Delilah and blinded by his enemies (Judges 16:16-21).

It was only after Samson lost his sight, that he came to see things clearly (Judges 16:24-27).  In the end, Samson returned to the Father of Truth, and did more to carry out His will in his death, than he had done in his entire life (Judges 16:28-30).  In the end, he was counted among the heroes of faith (Hebrews 11:32-34).

Samson started off wickedly, but he ended righteously.  It was not how Samson started that determined his eternal destination.  It was how he ended.

Consider Judas Iscariot.

Judas Iscariot was given power to cast out demons and to heal every disease, just like the rest of the twelve Original Apostles of Truth (Matthew 10:1-4).  He was sent to the people of Israel, along with the rest of the twelve Original Apostles of Truth, to preach the Good News, cleanse the lepers, and raise the dead (Matthew 10:5-8).

Judas Iscariot had been commanded to take no provisions with him, when he was sent out with the rest of the twelve Original Apostles of Truth (Mark 6:7-9).  He had enough faith in the Man of Truth to do this with the rest of the twelve Original Apostles of Truth (Mark 6:12-13).

Judas Iscariot had forsaken everything to follow the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ), so he was promised to rule over one of the twelve tribes of Israel for his loyalty (Matthew 19:27-28).  He had continued with the Man of Truth in his many temptations, so he was promised this reward (Luke 22:28-30).

After all this, Judas Iscariot sought out the chief priests to make a deal to betray the Man of Truth to them (Matthew 26:14-16).  He left the last supper to betray the Man of Truth, despite the warning of what would happen to him if he did this (Matthew 26:20-25).

After that, Judas Iscariot led the multitude sent by the chief priests to the Man of Truth, and betrayed him with a kiss (Matthew 26:47-49).  After the Man of Truth was condemn to die, Judas Iscariot was sorry for what he did, but killed himself, instead of seeking forgiveness (Matthew 27:3-5).

Judas Iscariot had been one of twelve Original Apostles of Truth, before he had betrayed the Man of Truth (Acts 1:16-17).  He fell into the very field that was bought with the money that he had been paid for this betrayal, and came to a very bad end (Acts 1:18-19).

So, Judas Iscariot lost everything that he would have gained for his righteousness (Acts 1:20).  He fell from righteousness, and went to the Chamber of Horrors for the wicked deeds at the end of his life (Acts 1:20-25).

Judas Iscariot started off righteously, but he ended wickedly.  It was not how Judas Iscariot started that determined his eternal destination.  It was how he ended.

Consider Paul the Jew.

Paul the Jew (aka Shaul aka Saul aka The Apostle Paul) stood by the stoning of Stephen for his witness that the Man of Truth was the Messiah (Acts 7:57-60).  After consenting to the stoning of Stephen, he raised up great persecution against the Children of Truth (those who obey The Father of Truth because they love Him) in Jerusalem, so that they were scattered throughout Judaea and Samaria (Acts 8:1-3).  He did everything he could against the name of the Man of Truth, and caused many of them to be put to death in Jerusalem (Acts 26:9-10).

Paul the Jew then continued to persecute them throughout Judaea and Samaria, until they were scattered to places far from Israel (Acts 11:19).  He was relentless in persecuting them in Israel until they died (Acts 22:4).  He pursued them in both the synagogues and the cities of the Gentiles that were scattered throughout Israel (Acts 26:11).

Paul the Jew then began pursuing the Children of Truth in cities outside of Israel, starting with Damascus (Acts 9:1-2).  He sought out the Chief Priest for letters authorizing him to arrest the Children of Truth in these cities, and to bring them to Jerusalem to be punished (Acts 22:5).  He headed for Damascus to carry out this persecution, once he was commissioned to do so by the Chief Priest (Acts 26:12).

Paul the Jew was the least worthy of all people to be an Apostle of Truth, because of his persecution of the Children of Truth (1 Corinthians 15:9).  He persecuted the Children of Truth, because of his zeal for Rabbinic Judaism (Galatians 1:13-14).  His zeal in persecuting the Children of Truth was unmatched (Philippians 3:6).  He exceeded all others in blaspheming the name of the Man of Truth, and persecuting and injuring the Children of Truth (1 Timothy 1:13).  He was the chief of sinners (1 Timothy 1:15).

However, Paul the Jew had an encounter with the Man of Truth when he was near Damascus (Acts 9:3-9).  He was blinded by the light of the Man of Truth (Acts 22:6-11).  It was only after Paul the Jew lost his sight that he came to see things clearly (Acts 26:13-18).

Paul the Jew began to preach the Good News in Damascus, even though he was told what he would suffer for doing so (Acts 9:10-22).  He was baptized and commissioned to preach the Good News in Damascus (Acts 22:12-16).  He preached the Good News in Jerusalem, Judaea, and to the Gentiles, after he left Damascus (Acts 26:19-23).

Paul the Jew continued to preach the Good News through more adversity and persecution than any other person has ever faced (2 Corinthians 11:23-28).  He continued to preach the Good News until the day he died, knowing that he would be rewarded for doing so (2 Timothy 4:6-8).

Paul the Jew started off wickedly, but he ended righteously.  It was not how Paul the Jew started that determined his eternal destination.  It was how he ended.

Not only is this pattern clearly seen in the lives of these four men, but the Father of Truth plainly said this through Ezekiel, The Prophet Of Truth.

First, the Father of Truth established what He meant by righteous and wicked.  Who ever did what He said was right in the Law of Truth (Torah aka The Law), lived righteously, and would have an eternal destination of life (Ezekiel 18:5-9).  Who ever did what He said was wicked in the Law of Truth (Torah aka The Law), lived wickedly, and would have an eternal destination of death (Ezekiel 18:10-13).

Next He confirmed, that the eternal destination of every person was determined by rather they lived righteously, or wickedly (Ezekiel 18:14-18).  Their eternal destination was determined by how they lived, and nothing else (Ezekiel 18:19-20).

Finally He clarified, that if anyone started off by living wickedly, but turned from their wickedness, and ended living righteously, then they would have an eternal destination of life (Ezekiel 18:21-23).  Likewise, if anyone started off by living righteously, but turned from their righteousness, and ended living wickedly, then they would have an eternal destination of death (Ezekiel 18:24). 

The conclusion of the matter is, that it is not how people start that determines their eternal destination, but it is how they end (Ezekiel 18:25-28).

The Renewed Covenant (B'rit Chadashah aka The New Testament) confirms this as well.

It establishes the same definition of righteousness and wickedness. Wickedness is transgression of the Law of Truth (1 John 3:4).  Those who do what the Law of Truth says is right are righteous (1 John 3:7).

The Man of Truth warned, that those who do not keep living in accordance with the Word of Truth until the end, will not come to the eternal destination of life promised in the Word of Truth (Matthew 13:18-22).  It is only those who keep living in accordance with the Word of Truth until the end, that will come to the eternal destination of life promised in the Word of Truth (Matthew 13:23).

In like manner the Man of Truth warned, that it is only those who remain righteous until the end, that will have an eternal destination of life (Matthew 24:13).

This is why Paul the Jew said that he had to keep his body under control until the end, so that he would not be castaway from obtaining the prize of an eternal destination of life, after preaching the Good News to others (1 Corinthians 9:23-27).  This is why he did not live like he had already obtained the prize of an eternal destination of life, but continued to live righteously until the end to obtain that prize (Philippians 3:11-14).  It was not until he had lived righteously until the end, that he won an eternal destination of life (2 Timothy 4:7-8).

It is those who are wicked at the end, who lived wickedly, and it is those who are righteous at the end, who lived righteously (Revelation 22:11).  Their eternal destination was determined by how they lived, and nothing else (Revelation 22:12-13).  Those who ended righteously will have an eternal destination of life (Revelation 22:14).  Those who ended wickedly will have an eternal destination of death (Revelation 22:15).

Those who started off by living wickedly, but turned from their wickedness, and ended living righteously, will have an eternal destination of life (Acts 11:18).  Those who started off by living righteously, but turned from their righteousness, and ended living wickedly, will have an eternal destination of death (2 Peter 2:20-21).

The conclusion of the matter is, that it is not how people start that determines their eternal destination, but it is how they end (Galatians 6:7-9).

So, the most important day of your life is the day that you die.

The thing is that people rarely know when that day is, for they are not guaranteed tomorrow, or even the rest of today (James 4:14).

Therefore, if you have not come into the House of Truth, then let today be the day that you do so by turning from wickedness (Luke 19:8-10).  Today is the day for you to change you eternal destination to that of life (2 Corinthians 6:2).

The Father of Truth takes no pleasure in people living wickedly and having an eternal destination of death, but desires that they turn to living righteously, and having an eternal destination of life (Ezekiel 18:32).  He sent the Man of Truth to bring people to an eternal destination of life, because it is not His will that anyone should have an eternal destination of death (Matthew 18:11-14).  It is for this reason, that He does not destroy people as soon as they do what is wicked, because He wants them to have a chance to turn to doing what is right, so they can change their eternal destination from death to life (2 Peter 3:9).

He will even let someone who lived wickedly their whole life, like the thief on the cross, change their eternal destination from death to life, if they will turn to righteousness in the last moments of the day of their death (Luke 23:39-43).

Therefore, I urge everyone who has not come into the House of Truth to do so right now. Anyone who takes The Deal will change their eternal destination from death to life.  Everyone is able to complete The One Step Program, and change their eternal destination from death to life.  Everyone can escape the Chamber of Horrors by total surrender to the Man of Truth.  This is the simplicity of the Gospel.

If you have believed that you could return to wickedness after coming into the House of Truth, and still have an eternal destination of life, then I would ask you, "Where did you get that idea?".  It is time for some tough love.  Whose child are you is determined by who you act like.  Do not be fooled by the partial deception used by some religious professionals.

Anyone who tells you that you can live wickedly at the end, and still have an eternal destination of life, is a deceiver (1 Corinthians 6:9-10).

Therefore, I urge everyone who has come into the House of Truth to stay in the house!  You must continue living to please the King, if you want to have an eternal destination of life.

So come into the House of Truth today, even if you have been in it before, by surrendering control of your life to the Man of Truth, because you believe that his Father raised him from the dead (Romans 10:9).

Come into the House of Truth!

Independence Day

When is your Independence Day?

Every year on the Fourth of July, Americans celebrate their independence on Independence Day.  This is the day that the final form of the Declaration of Independence was ratified by the Colonial Congress.  Though some historians argue for a different date, the fact is that the Fourth of July is on the document.  Also three of the five members of congress who drafted it, Thomas Jefferson (who wrote the first draft), Benjamin Franklin, and John Adams, all stated that they signed it on the Fourth of July.  (Jefferson and Adams also both died on the fiftieth anniversary of the signing.)

The Declaration of Independence was actually signed more than a year after the American Revolution started in 1775 AD.

The British actually call the American Revolution, "The War of Rebellion".  For them, the war was not just confined to the original thirteen colonies, but became a global conflict.

In 1776 AD, the Americans sponsored a failed rebellion against Britain in the former French colony of Quebec.  The next year, Quebec was dragged into the war by the British.  The British also dragged in Hessian soldiers from modern Germany into the war as well.  After some American victories, France joined the Americans in war against Britain in 1778 AD, and Spain soon joined France in war against Britain.  Inspired by stories of American victories, the kingdom of Mysore in India soon launched a rebellion against British rule as well in 1780 AD.  They were allied by the Netherlands, who also declared war on Britain.  The American Revolution spiraled into a global war for Britain that did not end until 1784 AD.

However, a more accurate name would be, "The War of British Betrayal".

Britain could have avoided being embroiled in a nine year long international war fought on four continents, if it had not betrayed the colonists in the thirteen original colonies.  It also might have kept these colonies, if it had not betrayed the colonists.

The charters that Britain had made to get British citizens to become colonists, had guaranteed military aid to the colonies if they were attacked.

However, when the peace that was enjoyed by Wampanoags and Pilgrims came to an end with the launch of Prince Philip's War, not a single British soldier was sent to aid the colonists during the entire conflict.  Britain sent a clear signal to the colonists that they were on their own.

This war was not some minor uprising of the Native Americans against a few colonists.  This was the bloodiest war in American history on a percentage basis.  Estimates are as high as thirty-five percent of the colonists were killed, and at least twelve of their cities were destroyed.  (The Native Americans also lost a large percentage of their population.)  Britain had clearly betrayed them.

Worse yet, Britain took advantage of the weakened condition that the war had left the colonies in, to exploit the colonists in new ways.  They would make one agreement that included promises of aid in the time of disaster, only turn around and force a new agreement that was more advantageous to Britain, whenever the colonists were weakened by a disaster.  The British continued to drive a wedge between them and the colonists ever deeper with betrayal after betrayal.

In like manner, the colonists had been guaranteed to be treated as the same as British citizens in Britain, if they would formed these British colonies in North America.  This meant that they would have representation in Parliament as guaranteed by the Magna Carta.  Instead, they were denied representation in Parliament.  Britain had clearly betrayed them.

After a hundred years of the colonists trying to convince Britain to honor its agreements without success, the colonists finally realized that the British regarded them as little more than slaves to be exploited.  British betrayal had left them with no other recourse than to break away from Britain.

So, the colonist formally informed the British that July Fourth, 1776 AD was their Independence Day.

Since that time, many other countries have come to celebrate their own Independence Day, with the largest percentage celebrating independence from Britain.  Freedom is contagious.

So is the Declaration of Independence.  It has been the model for similar declarations of independence since that time.  

Another country with an Independence Day is Liberia.  Liberia started out as an American Colony on the Pepper Coast of Africa as a place for free born African Americans, freed African American Slaves, and freed African Caribbean slaves to create their own country.  The American Colonization Society created this colony in 1822 AD.   Because it was an American colony, none of the European nations tried to colonize it, unlike the rest of Africa.

From the beginning, The American Colonization Society began training the returned Africans there to be self-governing.  By 1847 AD, the returned Africans were ready for complete self-governance. So, they issued their own Declaration of Independence, modeled after the American Declaration of Independence.  Their injustices listed as causes for separation, all related to slavery in the United States.  There was no mention of revolution, since this had always been the goal.  This was their Independence Day!

However, Independence Day was not a cause of celebration for everyone in America.  Fredrick Douglas asked five years later, "What was the Fourth of July to a slave?".  Independence Day did not begin to have meaning to all people in the United States, until after the Civil War ended slavery. 

Then in 1898 AD, the Philippines declared independence from Spain, once it was apparent that America was going to decisively win the Spanish-American war.  America acquired the Philippines in their victory over Spain.  America was not really interested in colonization, and made the Philippines a territory, with the intention of eventual self-governance.  Like Liberia, there was an intentional process of transferring more and more authority from the Americans to the natives of the Philippines.

Yet in America, Independence Day was still not a cause of celebration for everyone in America.  It only began to have real meaning for most Native Americans, after they were recognized as citizens in 1924 AD.  (Some tribes like The Cherokee had been made citizens from the founding of the United States, or shortly thereafter, but most tribes had not.)

Then the process of transference of governance was disrupted, when Japan invaded the Philippines and took it over during World War II.  So, shortly after World War II was over, the Philippines became independent of the United States, as planned, on the Fourth of July, 1946 AD.   This was the original Independence Day observed in the Philippines, but this had always been the plan.  However today, Independence Day in the Philippines is the day that the Philippines originally declared independence from Spain.

The most interesting use of the Declaration of Independence as model to declare independence, is that of Vietnam.

Britain and America agreed after World War II, that every nation should be self-determinate.  Shortly after that, Ho Chi Minh declared independence for Vietnam from France, in a declaration that purposely mirrored the Declaration of Independence.  He intended to model the independent country of Vietnam after America, in most areas including government and economic systems.

Japan had taken Vietnam from the French in World War II, and America had liberated Vietnam from Japan in the war.  Ho Chi Minh thought that the American President, Franklin Delanor Roosevelt, would support his efforts, since the situation between Vietnam and France had been similar to the situation between the original thirteen colonies and Britain.

Instead, when France decided to try to establish French rule over Vietnam again, Roosevelt supported France.  Ho Chi Minh may have felt betrayed by Roosevelt, when this happened.

Eventually, Ho Chi Minh was forced to accept help from Communist China, which meant he had to adopt their government and economic systems.  America then ended up engaged in a long war, as part of the Cold War strategy to contain communism.

America could have avoided the entire Vietnam War, if Roosevelt had refused to support France in resuming colonial rule over Vietnam, as he had agreed with British Prime Minister Winston Churchill.  Vietnam would also not be suffering under a communist government today.

Still, Vietnam has an Independence Day, to commemorate when it declared independence from both Japan and France, after America liberated it from Japan.

In similar fashion, Rwanda celebrates Liberation Day on the Fourth of July.  This commemorates the aid of America in bringing an end to the genocide there in 1994 AD.  Freedom knows no borders.

American Independence Day is so inspirational, that it is even celebrated in other countries.  Most notable is Denmark, where the largest celebration of this holiday in the world, outside of the United States, is held every year.

Independence Day is also the inspiration for the classic science fiction movie of the same name.  In this movie, independence is not declared for one nation from another, but for the entire human race from alien oppressors, who plan to exploit planet Earth to death.  This independence is declared on the Fourth of July, and that is the day that the entire human race begins to win its freedom from the alien oppressors.

So, Independence Day is different for different countries around the world, but what they have in common, is that it marks the day that independence from an oppressive power was declared.

All of us have been subject to an oppressive power, that has sought to exploit us our entire life through the fear of death, and we can only be delivered by the only one, who ever overcame death (Hebrews 2:14-15).  That is the only way, anyone can have a personal Independence Day.

Sin makes us a slave (John 8:34).  All of us have sinned (Romans 3:23).

What is Independence Day to a slave?

We must obey the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) to be made free (John 8:31-32).  We need the Man of Truth to set us free from sin (John 8:34-36).   The day that happens to us, is our personal Independence Day.

When is your Independence Day?

When I came in total surrender to the Man of Truth on November 13, 1982, that was my Independence Day.  That was the day when I took the deal and completed The One Step Program.

When is your Independence Day?

There will also be a day when the Man of Truth returns to deliver this world from the oppressive powers that seek to destroy the human race (Revelation 19:11-21).  That will be Independence Day for the entire Earth.

When is your Independence Day?

Finally there will be day, when the Man of Truth destroys the alien powers that has oppressed the human race through the fear of death (Revelation 20:7-10).  That will be the greatest Independence Day!

When is your Independence Day?

Your Independence Day is the day that you come into the House of Truth, by making the Man of Truth your supreme commander, because you believe that His Father raised him from the dead (Romans 10:9).

Come into the House of Truth!
