Resistance Is Essential

How can the Children of Truth (those who obey The Father of Truth because they love Him) prevent the world from squeezing them into its mold?

In "Star Trek" universe, there is an alien race called "The Borg", who are cybernetic organisms.  The Borg are not a single species, but rather a collection of diverse species, who have been assimilated into the Borg.  The Borg assimilate other species, by shooting them with nanoprobes.  The nanoprobes begin changing the individuals from the inside, who have been shot, to conform to the needs of the Borg collective.  The individuals change in appearance to look like Borgs.  Once the individuals that are assimilated into the Borg, they lose all ability to think for themselves.  People, who are assimilated into the Borg, are no longer human.  Once they have been fully assimilated, there is no returning them to their former state, and they must be destroyed.

When the Borg attack a species to assimilate it, they start off by verbally intimating the species, by telling them, "Resistance is futile.  You will be assimilated."  However, the Federation decided that resistance was essential, and they would not be assimilated.  So they fought back, and the Borg were eventually defeated.

The ideas of the Borg, like most things, are really a conglomeration of ideas that preceded them. 

The form of the Borg is very similar to that of Lord Dredd, and the bio-dredds, that he creates, by assimilating humans into his culture.  While this predated the first appearance of the Borg on Star Trek, The Next Generation, by a year, the whole concept of one culture absorbing other cultures into its culture, proceeded both Captain Power, and Star Trek, by more than two thousand years. 

Like most of the story lines in science fiction, super hero stories, fantasy, and most other genres of fiction, their original inspiration was actual people, and events in history.  There is no new thing under the sun (Ecclesiastes 1:9).

The real inspiration for the Borg is the Greek Empire.  After Alexander the Great died, the Greek Empire was split into four smaller, and competing Greek empires.  The Greeks began an assimilation campaign across the four Greek Empires.  They took measures to make everyone wear Greek clothes, speak Greek, eat Greek food, attend Greek plays, participate in Greek sports, study Greek history, live in Greek houses, adopt Greek customs, go by Greek names, and the like.  This assimilation of other cultures into Greek culture was known as "Hellenization".  As far as they were concerned, there were only two kinds of people in their empires: Those who were Greek and those who needed to become Greek.

The largest of these smaller Greek Empires was known as the Seleucid Empire. While the Greeks had been on their assimilation campaign, the one area where people were encouraged, but not forced to assimilate, was their religious practices.  This all changed for the Jews, after Antiochus Epiphanes, became the emperor of the Seleucid Empire.

Many of the Jews had voluntarily became Hellenized, and even went so far as go through a painful process to remove their marks of circumcision, and disowned the entire Original Covenant (Tanakh aka The Old Testament).  The Hellenized Jews bribed Antiochus to appoint them to be the high priests, and subsequently killed each other to maintain, or regain their position.   These Hellenized Jews began to fight with the Jews, who still obeyed the Law of Truth (Torah aka The Law), until the entire region of Judea was in a civil war.    Finally, Antiochus attacked Jerusalem, took the women and children captive, and pillaged the Temple, to ensure that his final choice for high priest, was who held the office.

When Antiochus Epiphanes saw that there were plenty of Jews, who wanted to be completely assimilated in Greek culture, including Greek religion, then he began taking steps to force the rest of the Jews, to completely assimilate into Greek culture, by taking steps to destroy their obedience to the Law of Truth.  He made possessing the Law of Truth a death penalty crime, and destroyed all of the copies of it that he could find.  He banned wearing tzitzits (fringes) on the corners of their garments, making the sacrifices required in the Law of Truth, resting on the Sabbath, and keeping the Feasts of Truth.  Circumcision was outlawed, and mothers, who circumcised their infant sons, were killed, along with their entire families.  Antiochus was certain, that he could completely assimilate the Jews, who obeyed the Law of Truth, because he had the mightiest army in the world, and the Jews, who obeyed the Law of Truth, were a minority, even among the Jews.  He let these Jews know, that resistance was futile, and they would be assimilated.

The Jews, who observed the Law of Truth, decided, that resistance was essential, and they would not be assimilated.  So they began to fight back in various ways.

They would meet to study the Law of Truth in groups, with one or two standing watch.  Whenever Greek soldiers would approach their location, the guards would tell the others, and then go out to talk to the Greek soldiers to buy time.  The rest of them would quickly hide their scrolls, and then place piles of money in front of themselves, that they used for gambling, by spinning a four sided top, called a dreidel.  When the Greek soldiers arrived, they would find that the Jews were only gambling, and not reading the Law of Truth, so they would leave them alone.  So these Jews preserved the Original Covenant, because the Book of Truth is The Indestructible Book.

They would make small handkerchief sized tallits (garments with tzitzits on their four corners), and wear them underneath their Greek clothing.  This practice continued for centuries, whenever Jews needed to hide their tzitzits.  These were the handkerchiefs, among the cloaks, aprons, and handkerchiefs, that Paul the Jew (Shaul aka Saul aka The Apostle Paul) made.

They would meet in secret, often in caves, on the Sabbath, and keep the Feasts of Truth, in secret.  They would have the priests make sacrifices, in hidden locations, when they could no longer make them in the Temple.  They would go on long trips, after the birth of their sons, then circumcise them out in the wilderness, and not return, until well after their sons had healed up from circumcision.  They would even fashion coverings from sheep bladders, to slip over the circumcision, so that their infants appeared to be uncircumcised, upon casual observation.

Then Antiochus Epiphanes began taking things further, in his efforts to assimilate the Jews, who were obeying the Law of Truth, in stealth mode.  He set up altars to Greek gods everywhere, and sacrificed animals that the Law of Truth said were unclean, like pigs, on them.  Then he set a giant statue of Zeus, but with his own face on it, in the Temple, and had three pigs, and a dog, sacrificed on the brazen altar of the Temple.  Finally, he began a campaign, to force all Jews to make sacrifices to Greek gods, or die.  Once again, he was telling them, that resistance was futile, and they would be assimilated.

Eventually, the Jews of Modi'in were gathered, and each one was told to make a sacrifice to the Greek gods, but Mattathias the Priest refused to do so.  When a Hellenized Jew stepped up to do so on his behalf, Mattathias grabbed a sword, and killed him.  This began a revolt against the Greeks, and the Hellenized Jews, by the Jews, who clung to obeying the Law of Truth.  They had made the decision, that resistance was essential, and they would not be assimilated.

Mattathias and his sons headed to the hills, to start waging guerrilla warfare.  Mattathias and his sons became known as the Maccabees, which means hammers, because the nickname of his son Judas (Judah aka Yahudah) was "the Hammer".  This revolt went on for over three years, where these minority among the Jews, took on the mightiest army on Earth.  As they began to win battles, many of the Hellenized Jews repented of their rejection of the Law of Truth, and joined the Maccabees.  Eventually, the Maccabees so hammered the Greek army, that they regained control of Jerusalem.  They then rededicated the Temple to the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD), after the eight day period, that it took them to cleanse the Temple, from the desecration of abomination, committed by Antiochus Epiphanes.  Antiochus Epiphanes gathered an even larger army to crush the rebellion, but died, before he could attack the Maccabees.  His successor made peace with the Maccabees, and granted them complete religious freedom.  They had not been assimilated, because they had understood, that resistance was essential.

This resistance had not been cheap or easy.  In the revolt, that lead to regaining their religious freedom, and the subsequent wars to regain territory, where Jews were being killed by their Gentile neighbors, Mattathias, and three of his five sons, were killed.  Many of the Maccabees, meaning those who joined Mattathias and his sons, died as well.  The most famous was a woman, her seven sons, and their teacher, who became known as the martyrs of the Maccabees.  Yet the Maccabees, still managed to beat the greatest army on earth, because they believed that resistance was essential, and they were not going to be assimilated.

Every year, the commemoration of their dedicating the Temple is celebrated, at Chanukah (Hanukkah).  This is the Feast of Dedication that the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) celebrated in the winter at Jerusalem (John 10:22-23). (Chanukah means "dedication".)  Chanukah is also called the Festival of Lights, because of the lighting of nine branch candelabra (eight lower candles plus one higher candle for lighting the others) called a Chanukiah.

The book of Maccabees is the history of the revolt, that lead to the celebration of Chanukah.  It is a book of secular history, and not one of the missing books of the Bible, as some people suppose it to be.  It tells of how the Feast of Chanukah lasts for eight days, because that is how long it took to clean up the Temple, from the desecration of Antioch Epiphanes.  There is no mention of the oil lasting for eight days, and this story does not appear anywhere in Jewish literature, until about five hundred years after the Temple was rededicated.  The so-called "miracle of the oil", is just another example of Rabbinic Distort.  The real miracle is, that Maccabees resisted against the greatest army on Earth, and against all odds, prevented the Jewish people, from being completely assimilated into the Greek culture.

Why were the Maccabees so certain, that resistance was essential, and they would not be assimilated?

The book of Daniel told the Chanukah story, almost three hundred years before Antiochus Epiphanes rose to power, and answers that question.

After four emperors ruled the Persian Empire, then Alexander the Great overran the Persian Empire, to create the Greek Empire (Daniel 11:1-3).  Not long after Alexander the Great created the Greek Empire, he died, his heirs were killed, and the Greek Empire split into four smaller empires, each ruled by one on his generals (Daniel 11:4).  Then two of the those empires, the Ptolemaic Empire, whose capital was south of Jerusalem and the Seleucid Empire, whose capital was north of Jerusalem, fought back and forth to control the Promised Land for generations, with the Ptolemaic Empire maintaining control of the Promised Land (Daniel 11:5-12).  Then an emperor of the Seleucid Empire, Seleucus Philopater, managed to take the Promised Land from the Ptolemaic Empire, and utterly destroyed much of the Promised Land, but greatly beautified the Temple with many gifts, until he was assassinated on his way home, from Jerusalem, by Heliodorus (Daniel 11:13-19).  Heliodorus, took the throne, and sought to raise taxes considerably, to increase the splendor of the capital, but died suddenly, without violence (Daniel 11:20).

Then the younger brother of Seleucus Philopater, Antiochus Epiphanes, took the throne by flattery, bribes, and deceit, while arranging the assassination of Onias the High Priest, who resisted assimilation, where it contracted the Law of Truth (Daniel 11:21-24).  Then Antiochus Epiphanes went to war with the Ptolemaic Empire, and overthrew most of it, by bribing the officials of Ptolemy the Sixth, the emperor of the Ptolemaic Empire (Daniel 11:25-26).  Then Antiochus Epiphanes and Ptolemy the Sixth made a treaty, but each intended to break the treaty, as soon as it was advantageous to do so (Daniel 11:27).  When Antiochus Epiphanes returned through Judea, he found it in a civil war, between those Jews who wanted total assimilation into Greek culture, and those Jew who wanted to obey the Law of Truth, which he thought was a revolt against his rule, so he slaughtered many of the Jews, and appointed Menelaus, who wanted the Jews to totally assimilate into Greek culture, to be the high priest, before returning to his capital (Daniel 11:28).  Then Antiochus Epiphanes attacked the Ptolemaic Empire again, but lost all control of it (Daniel 11:29).

Ptolemy the Sixth had persuaded the Romans to help him fight Antiochus Epiphanes, which greatly angered him, so Antiochus Epiphanes took out his anger upon those Jews, who obeyed the Law of Truth, but showed favor to those Jews, who sought to totally assimilate into Greek culture (Daniel 11:30).  Antiochus Epiphanes then desecrated the Temple, offering three pigs and a dog on the Holy Altar, took away the daily sacrifice, and caused it to be desolate of all who obeyed the Law of Truth, when he set up an image of Zeus with his own face in it (Daniel 11:31).  The majority of Jews were willing to totally assimilate into Greek culture to gain his favor, but the Maccabees waged a war against Antiochus Epiphanes, because they knew the Father of Truth (Daniel 11:32).  Se even though Antiochus Epiphanes continued to oppress those who obeyed the Law of Truth, and sought to destroy the Law of Truth completely, the Maccabees eventually prevailed, even though it was very costly, and rededicated the Temple, as a place, where those who obeyed the Law of Truth, could meet in, to worship the Father of Truth, and were given an autonomous kingdom (Daniel 11:33-35).

So the lesson from the Chanukah story, is that the certainty, that resistance is essential, and the Children of Truth will not be assimilated, comes from knowing the Father of Truth.

For you see, the Children of Truth are still commanded this day, to not be squeezed into the mode of the world around them, but to resist the world with the Word of Truth, so that they will not be assimilated (Romans 12:2).  It is by considering what the the Man of Truth did on this Earth, that gives them the strength, to resist doing what the world around them does, in order to obey the Father of Truth (Hebrews 12:1-3).  They can resist the pressure of the world, to disobey the Law of Truth, even to the point of suffering, because they are the children of the Father of Truth (Hebrews 12:4-6).  They refuse to be assimilated, because they know that those who are assimilated, become the enemies of the Father of Truth, and He will destroy them, while giving strength to those, who refuse to be assimilated (James 4:4-6).  Therefore, they resist the Father of Lies (HaShatan aka Satan Aka The Devil), by submitting themselves to the Father of Truth, even though it will bring them sadness for a while, but eventually the Father of Lies will flee before them, and they will not be assimilated, rather will be given an everlasting kingdom  (James 4:7-10).  They are willing to resist to the point of death, like the Maccabees, because they are looking for the return of the Man of Truth, to rule this Earth (James 5:6-8).  They resist the Father of Lies, because they have confidence in what the Father of Truth has said, and know that their suffering for refusing to be assimilated, is making them to be more like the Man of Truth (1 Peter 5:8-10).  Their confidence that the Father of Lies will be defeated, causes them to overcome being assimilated, by resisting, even to the point of death, being squeezed into the mode of the world around them, through telling other people, about what the Man of Truth did on this Earth (Revelation 12:9-11).

The Children of Truth prevent the world from squeezing them into its mold, when they become like the Maccabees.  They start overcoming evil with good, when they decide, that resistance is essential, and they will not be assimilated.

Although the fight may be long, they will endure hardship from those around them, and persevere in resisting doing what the people around them are doing, because they believe that they will be rewarded, for obeying the Father of Truth (2 Timothy 2:3-5).  They not love the things of the world, that are contrary to the Law of Truth, because those things are from the Father of Lies, and those who are assimilated into the world will be destroyed, while those who obey the Father of Truth, will continue forever (1 John 2:15-17).

Those who persist in resisting being assimilated, do so because they know the Father of Truth who gave them the Law of Truth.  Those who persist in resisting being assimilated, do so because they know that the Man of Truth is the Messiah of Israel.  Those who persist in resisting being assimilated, do so because they believe the Book of Truth contains the Incorruptible Word.  Those who persist in resisting being assimilated, do so because the Spirit of Truth is living in them, and even producing the sound of power.  Those who persist in resisting being assimilated, do so because they are eating the breakfast of champions, that strengthens their resolve.  Those who persist in resisting being assimilated, do so because they know that walking in truth in every area of life, is the only way to successfully resist being assimilated.  Those who will not be assimilated, understand that resistance is essential!

Those who persist in resisting being assimilated, will refuse to exercise the nuclear option, when things get tough in their marriage.  Those who persist in resisting being assimilated, will find the path of true love, even in the most difficult of marriages.  Those who persist in resisting being assimilated, will not become serial killers, through participating in abortion.  Those who persist in resisting being assimilated, will not be silent about laws, that let people live like they are married in Sodom.  Those who will not be assimilated, understand that resistance is essential!

Those who persist in resisting being assimilated, will not be persuaded to tolerate what the Father of Truth calls intolerable, by scripture that is taken out of context.  Those who persist in resisting being assimilated, will not go along with the lie, that every wicked thing that anyone does, is because, "My DNA made me do it".  Those who persist in resisting being assimilated, will not pretend, that those who do these things, are anything other than sick and twisted.  Those who persist in resisting being assimilated, will not obey laws, that are contrary to the Law of Truth, but will be like the Maccabees, who recognized that there is a time for civil disobedience.  Those who will not be assimilated, understand that resistance is essential!

Those who persist in resisting being assimilated long enough, will start keeping the Feasts of Truth, that form the Greatest Play ever, so they can see things, in the same way as the Father of Truth.  Those who persist in resisting being assimilated long enough, will not let themselves be distracted, from keeping the weightier matters of the Law, by endless arguments, over how to keep the lessor matters of the Law.  Those who persist in resisting being assimilated long enough, will not get into pointless fights with each other, over the details of keeping the Feasts of Truth, because they understand, that they are playing with broken toys, until the Man of Truth returns to rule this Earth.   Those who will not be assimilated, understand that resistance is essential!

Those who persist in resisting being assimilated long enough, will not want anything to do with Halloween, because it encourages people to surrender to the monster within.  Those who persist in resisting being assimilated long enough, will have nothing to do with holidays like Ash Wednesday, that came from the Father of Lies.  Those who persist in resisting being assimilated long enough, will say "Happy Firstfruits", to each other, when they participate in the Feasts of Truth, instead of rehearsing the worship of a fertility goddess, named "Easter".  Those who persist in resisting being assimilated long enough, will even find they themselves escaping the Christmas Trap.  Those who will not be assimilated, understand that resistance is essential! 

Those who persist in resisting being assimilated long enough, will start keeping the Sabbath, once they realized who changed the Sabbath.  Those who persist in resisting being assimilated long enough, will keep the Sabbath as the Father of Truth intended, so they do not end up being asked by Him, "Whose Sabbath are you keeping?".  Those who persist in resisting being assimilated long enough, will find that they are never bored on the Sabbath, when they keep it in the way that He intended.  Those who will not be assimilated, understand that resistance is essential!

Those who persist in resisting being assimilated until the end, will realize that bringing other people into the House of Truth, is all that really matters.  Those who persist in resisting being assimilated until the end, will not be guilty of putting the cart before the horse.  Those who persist in resisting being assimilated until the end, will understand that people are saved by faith, but grow by knowledge.  Those who persist in resisting being assimilated until the end, will understand that there are two kinds of knowledge, and no one can get heart knowledge, until the Spirit of Truth opens their understanding.    Those who persist in resisting being assimilated until the end, have heeded the warning of the Man of Truth, of "People Get Ready!", by focusing on carrying out the Great Commission.  Those who will not be assimilated, understand that resistance is essential!

The truth is that all people, have been infected with sin, like being shot with a nanoprobe of the Borg (Romans 5:12-14).  Sin will take over their lives from the inside, until they are fully assimilated (James 1:14-16).  Once they have been fully assimilated, then there is no hope of saving them, and they will have to be destroyed (Revelation 22:11-15).

The Good News is, that the Man of Truth made it possible, for people to come into the House of Truth, and have their sin removed (John 1:29).  People come into the House of Truth, when they surrender control of their lives to the Man of Truth, because they believe that the Father of Truth, raised him from the dead (Romans 10:9).  When people come into the House of Truth, is like joining the Maccabees, in not being assimilated, because they realize, that resistance is essential (1 John 1:6-9).

Come into the House of Truth!

The Greatest Fairy Tale Ever Told

 What is the greatest fairy tell ever told?

Fairy tales are stories where things magically happen that defy all common sense and every observable fact of reality.  In fairy tales there is often no need for things to have an original source.  The story usually just begins with no explanation of how the things that are in them came into being or of the forces that brought about their beginning.  In fact, it is often implied that there was no underlying cause for the effect of what followed but rather things just "poof" into existence all on their own for no reason at all.  In those fairy tales where there is an active force it is usually some mysterious entity that either defies explanation or otherwise cannot be demonstrated to exist in real life.

People find fairy tales fun and interesting because they do not have to stand up to close scrutiny, they do not have any resemblance to reality, and they can provide people with a metaphor that gives permission to do about anything.  After all a fairy tale can end anyway that the one telling it wants it to end and can be considered proof of the worldview of the teller to anyone that is willing to hear and believe it.  The fairy tale can be modified over and over as needed by people when it is retold to reinforce whatever idea is fashionable at the time.

Of course, the truth is that no fairy tale is ever true.  Every fairy tale that has ever been told, has been the work of the vain imagination of someone, and has no factual basis in reality.  In short, ever fairy tale is really just an elaborate lie.

The Walt Disney company has made a fortune from retelling fairy tales such as Cinderella and Snow White. Many of these same fairy tales have been repackaged for the consumption of the same audience as they grow older by various video entertainment companies.  For example, there are many versions of Cinderella that have been retold in more modern settings to appeal to teenagers.  Then Cinderella was retold in another way to these same people when they were in their twenties as a romantic comedy.  There have been retelling of some fairy tales as scary stories in television shows.  There have even been porn films that retold classic fairy tales in a completely different manner than what is usually told to children.

So what is the greatest fairy tale every told?  What story has been modified the most to suit the times of the audience throughout all of history?  What tale have people went to the greatest lengths to make seem to be so real that other people will believe it no matter how much their own common sense, history, and demonstrable science contradict it?  What is this unimaginably unrealistic story that cannot stand up under close scrutiny but is presented as fact by so many because they simply wish that it was true?  What is the most elaborate lie ever concocted by the human mind?

The greatest fairy tale ever told starts out like many fairy tales without any actual explanation of an original source that made the fairy tale possible to happen in the first place. In fact the greatest fairy tale ever told insists that there was no original source and everything just magically happened.

A version of this fairy tale that might be told to young children would go something like this.

Once upon time there was a land that was completely barren.  In that land there was a magic potion that formed all on its own for no reason at all.  Then for absolutely no reason at all one day this magic potion was magically zapped and then "poof" it became alive. The magic potion was now a mindless living blob known as a magite.  The magite magically had everything that was needed for life in that magic moment and could of course magically make more magites.  Each magite had the very magical ability to give the magites that it made to posses abilities that it did not possess itself.

(Some say that the magites gave these new abilities to the magites that they made in response to changes in their surroundings as the magites moved further and further from the original location of the magic potion.  Others say that the magites gave new abilities willy-nilly to the magites that they made and the ones that had the abilities that worked out best would continue the process.  Those on both sides are sure that they are right and claim to have indisputable proof that those on the other side are complete nincompoops.  It does not really matter since this is a fairy tale and logic need not apply.)

One day a magite made another magite with a definite shape instead of just keep being a shapeless liquid blob like other magites.  This caught on and soon all of the magites were making magites that had more defined shapes and other characteristics that allowed the magites that they made to do more and more fantastic things.  Soon there were magites that grew roots to the center the earth and grew branches that reached above the top of the clouds.   There were magites that had wings and could fly higher than high.  There were magites that had legs and could run faster than fast.  There were magites that fins and could swim deeper than deep.  The magites also began making magites of all sizes.  Some magites were so small that a billion could live on a speck of dust.  Other magites were so large that it seemed that they could cover the entire world.

Eventually some magites made some magites that were not completely mindless.  These magites in turn made more magites that were even smarter than themselves.  This process continued for a long time until magites were made that were so intelligent that they called themselves "the Wise Ones".  It was the Wise Ones then made up this fairy tale about the magic potion to explain the origin of the Wise Ones and all other magites.

A version of this fairy tale aimed at teenagers would go something like this.

Once upon time the Earth that was completely devoid of life.  Then came along a god named "Hixie-Pixie".  No one could reliably predict what Hixie-Pixie would ever do for the actions of  Hixie-Pixie seemed completely random.  One day Hixie-Pixie made a mystical ooze completely on accident.  Then for absolutely no reason at all Hixie-Pixie spread his fingers apart and lightening came forth from his fingers that zapped the mystical ooze and it came to life. There was now a mindless living blob known as a zoa.  The zoa magically had everything that was needed for life in that magic moment and best of all could magically make more zoas. Hixie-Pixie would then sometimes give a new child zoa abilities that the parent zoa did not possess itself when he came upon the scene.

(Some say that Hixie-Pixie gave these new abilities to the zoas in response to changes in their surroundings as the zoas moved further and further from the original location of the mystical ooze.  Others say that Hixie-Pixie gave new abilities willy-nilly to the new zoas and that the ones that had the abilities that worked out best would be used to continue the process.  Those on both sides are sure that they are right and claim to have indisputable proof that those on the other side are complete morons.  It does not really matter since this is a fairy tale and logic need not apply.)

One day Hixie-Pixie gave one of the new zoas a definite shape instead of just being a shapeless liquid blob like other zoas for no particular reason.  Hixie-Pixie thought this was fun so soon all of the new zoas had more defined shapes and other characteristics that allowed the new zoas that they made to do more and more fantastic things.  Soon there were zoas that grew roots to the center the earth and grew branches that reached above the top of the clouds.   There were zoas that had wings and could fly higher than high.  There were zoas that had legs and could run faster than fast.  There were zoas that fins and could swim deeper than deep.  Hixie-Pixie also began resizing the newest zoas.  Some zoas were so small that a billion could live on a speck of dust.  Other zoas were so large that it seemed that they could cover the entire world.

Eventually Hixie-Pixie made some zoas that were not completely mindless on a fluke.  Whenever these zoas in turn made more zoas then Hixie-Pixie would occasionally give some of then newest zoas the ability to be even smarter than the zoas that made them.  This process continued for a long time (since Hixie-Pixie always acted in a completely unpredictable and random manner) until zoas were made that were so intelligent that they called themselves "the Wise Ones".  It was the Wise Ones then made up this fairy tale about Hixie-Pixie and the mystical ooze to explain the origin of the Wise Ones and all other zoas.

The version of this fairy tale told by professors to students in most universities goes something this.

Once upon time the Earth that was completely devoid of life.  Then came along a god named "Random Chance".  The actions of Random Chance were completely random and totally lacking in purpose.  One day the primordial ooze was made by Random Chance.  Then by Random Chance an electrical current of just the right amperage and voltage zapped the primordial ooze and it came to life. There was now a mindless living blob known as an organism.  The primordial organism magically had everything that was needed for life in that magic moment.  This included a minimum of 100,000 right handed nucleotides that each happened to have a matching left handed nucleotide that was needed to zipper up and form the simplest possible RNA and DNA that is sufficient to define an organism that has everything that is needed to live.  (The simplest organism ever found has 500,000 pairs of nucleotides but microbiologists have theorized that an organism might be able to get by on 100,000 pairs of  nucleotides.)  The  primordial organism had been magically given by Random Chance the ability to locate nutrients, relocate to those nutrients and then convert those nutrients into every thing that was needed to continue to be alive. Best of all by Random Chance the primordial organism could magically reproduce. Sometimes a new child organism would by Random Chance have abilities that the parent organism did not possess itself.

(Some say that new organisms acquired these new abilities in response to changes in their surroundings as organisms moved further and further from the original location of the primordial ooze.  Others say that they acquired these new abilities by Random Chance and that the ones that had the abilities that made them most fit survived to continue the process.  Those on both sides are sure that they are right and claim to have indisputable proof that those on the other side are uneducated buffoons.  It does not really matter since this is a fairy tale and logic need not apply.)

One day by Random Chance, for no particular reason, one of the new organisms had a definite shape instead of just being a shapeless liquid blob like other organisms including the one that produced it.  Soon by Random Chance all sorts of new organisms had more defined shapes and other characteristics to do more and more incredible things.  Soon there were organisms that grew roots to deep into the earth and grew branches that reached towards the clouds.  There were organisms that had wings and could fly high.  There were organisms that had legs and could run fast.  There were organisms that fins and could swim deep.  There also began to be a resizing of the organisms by Random Chance.  Some organisms were so small that millions could live on a speck of dust.  Other organisms were so large that they could cover the large areas of land.

Then on a fluke by Random Chance an organism reproduced and made another organism that was not completely mindless.  Whenever this organism in turn reproduced then by Random Chance some of their offspring had the ability to be even smarter than the parent organism.  This process continued for a long time (some say millions of years since Random Chance always acts in a completely unpredictable and random manner) until organisms were made through reproduction that were so intelligent that they called themselves "Homo Sapiens" (literally "Wise Men") or the Wise Ones.  It was the Wise Ones then made up this fairy tale about Random Chance and the primordial ooze called Evolution to explain the origin of the Wise Ones and all other organisms.

The Fairy Tale of Evolution like all fairy tales is really just an elaborate lie.  Its details change from generation to generation because it will not hold up to close scrutiny.  It is in constant need of rescue mechanisms as people ask more questions about its many deficiencies that are obvious to anyone that has not drank the kool-aid given to them by their science teachers. It is like when someone tells one lie and then has to tell other lies to cover up discrepancies in the original lie.  The web of lies just keeps becoming more elaborate because deep down inside people sense that it is a lie.  The truth on the other hand always remain simple because it never needs a rescue mechanism.

When I was first heard this fairy tale in middle school science class I thought that maybe it could be true.  But when I began to examine it more closely I found that it was no more true than stories of Leprechauns.

I loved mathematics and when I was sixteen I studied the mathematics of evolution over my summer break. The mathematics of evolution showed the complete absurdity of believing that the complexity of even the simplest organism imaginable, the primordial organism, came about by random chance.  Of course, there were other things that were equally impossible from a logical viewpoint like an organism adding complexity to its offspring that did not help the cause of evolution.  I had to let go of all belief in evolution just like I had previously let go of all belief in Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy.

Another thing that makes the Evolution Myth so far fetched is its total dependence on random chance.  There is no notion of anything occurring by random chance in science or mathematics any where except when it comes to theories about the origins of the universe and human life.  "Random Chance" is the god of the Evolution Myth.  So in a sort of loopy logic that would never work in an actual computer program those that cling to this myth insist that Evolution is the proof of the existence of Random Chance and Random Chance is the proof that Evolution happened.

In every other endeavor of science the universe runs on laws instead of random chance.  The science of physics is possible because of the laws of physics.  The same is true for chemistry, astronomy, and every other branch of science including computer science which deals with the laws of logic.  Mathematics is the study and discovery of the laws of mathematics. 

The truth is random chance does not really exists anymore than the gods of Greek mythology or Hixie-Pixie.  There is an entire area of mathematics devoted to dispelling the notion of random chance but instead showing that everything in the physical world indeed works by the laws of mathematics and science.  The entirety of the fields of science and mathematics is nothing more than discovering the laws that the universe works by and determining how to apply those laws to solve real life problems.  For example, it was by discovering and applying the fundamental laws of aerodynamics that allowed the Wright Brothers to create a heavier-than-air machine that could fly.

Random chance is just a perception of the human mind but not a physical reality.  For example when someone rolls a pair of dice the outcome of the roll is determined by the laws of physics.  The outcome is unpredictable to the roller because they do not know all of the laws involved and cannot control all of the parameters that apply to those laws.  However, those that have enough understanding of the laws involved and know how to control the parameters that apply to a pair of dice can change the dice to always come up with the same number.  This is done by moving the center of gravity of each die away from the center and towards the side that will be face down when the desired side is face up.  It is those that understand that dice operate by the laws of physics instead of random chance that can produced "loaded" dice that always produce the same number when rolled.

More than that there is no precedence of evolution ever being observed in any living organism throughout history.  There are one cell organisms with short time spans between when they became a separate organism when another organism divided and when they will divide into two organisms.  Some of these organisms have had millions of generations of reproduction since the time of Darwin and yet they remain identical to the ones observed at the time of Darwin.  Millions of species of organisms that have been discovered by man and no one has ever actually observed any sort of evolution occur.  There has not been one instance of anyone observing any organism ever producing offspring that is outside of the box that defines the core characteristics of its species.  Instead every organism just keeps reproducing more organisms of its own kind.  Would you believe that evolution only occurs when nobody is looking?  If so would you also believe that the word "gullible" is not in the dictionary?

Make no mistake evolution is at the core of a religion that requires people to ignore reality in order to believe that religion.  In this religion there is supposedly no god but in reality there is a god called "Random Chance".  Everything in this religion of human secularism relies on the god of Random Chance for all explanations of the past, all morality for present behavior, and all expectations of the future.

As has already been shown the universe operates on laws rather than random chance.  The god called "Random Chance" is just another idol made by people that has no ability to do anything (Deuteronomy 4:28).  The truth is that evolution is just another idol that was the skillfully made by some scientists just like a wooden idol that is made by some carpenters (Isaiah 44:13-15).  No matter how many people claim that they were made by random chance it is no more credible than those that claimed that they were made by some other idol (Jeremiah 2:27).  Those that believe in the god of Random Chance and the doctrine of evolution are foolish brutes who worship the work of their own minds like those that worship the work of their own hands (Jeremiah 10:8-9).

It was the god of "Random Chance" that Aaron claimed made the golden calf when the people of Israel threw their gold into the fire (Exodus 32:24).  In reality, "Random Chance" did not exist but was only an excuse for their rebellion against the Father of Truth (Exodus 32:21-23).  There was an original source that made the golden calf (Exodus 32:35).  Nothing ever occurs without a cause (Proverbs 26:2).  The universe was made on purpose by the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) just like the golden calf was made on purpose by Aaron instead occurring without a cause by Random Chance.

You might think that evolution is relatively modern invention that started with Darwin but it actually goes back much further than that.  There were Greek philosophers like Aristotle that taught similar notions but there is evidence of these ideas being believed by many of the elite in ancient Egypt way before that.  The truth is there is no new thing under the sun (Ecclesiastes 1:9-11).  Evolution is nothing more than this ancient religion being falsely called science (2 Timothy 6:20-21).  Real science that is practiced by the kings of science like Newton is methodically discovering and applying the laws of science that the Father of Truth has concealed (Proverbs 25:2).

If the structural design similarities between fins of a whale and the wings of a bat are not the product of random chance then how can they be explained?  It turns out that the obvious answer is the correct answer and that is that they have a common design because they have a common designer.  Instead of believing that there is intelligence in their design by random chance it is far more reasonable to believe that there is intelligence in their design because their design is the product of an intelligent designer.

The Father of Truth is that intelligent designer who created the universe (Genesis 1:1).  The Earth has an atmosphere of clouds that is necessary to support life by design (Genesis 1:6-7).  The Earth has oceans and dry land that are needed to support life by design (Genesis 1:9-10).  The Earth has plants with roots that go deep into the earth and branches that reach up towards the clouds which can create seeds to reproduce more plants of the same kind by design (Genesis 1:11-12).  The Earth has animals that fly high and swim deep with the capability to reproduce more animals of the same kind by design (Genesis 1:20-22).  The Earth has animals that run fast with the capability to reproduce more animals of the same kind by design (Genesis 1:24-25).  Most importantly, there are men on the Earth because the Father of Truth designed people to be miniatures of Himself (Genesis 1:26-27).  The universe and everything in it was made on purpose to take care of the needs of His crowning achievement called the human race (Genesis 1:28-30).

Every religion attempts to answer three questions.  Where did we come from?  Why are we here? Where are we going?  The religion built on evolution has an answer for each question.  The answer to the first question is by accident.  The answer to the second question is no reason at all.  The answer to the third question is extinction.  What a depressing religion!

The Book of Truth (The Bible) has much better answers to these questions.

The Father of Truth made the Earth and controls the atmosphere that surrounds it (Jeremiah 10:12-13).  He is the former of all things (Jeremiah 10:16).  He created the Earth to be inhabited (Isaiah 45:18).  The Earth was given to the human race as a place for them to inhabit (Psalm 115:16).

The original man was made by Him (Genesis 5:1).  From this original man came every nation of people (Acts 17:24-26).  We came from Him instead of coming from something that was made by man like an idol called Random Chance (Acts 17:28-29).

The Father of Truth made people so they could know Him but we have separated ourselves from Him (Genesis 3:8-10).  He wants all people to come to know Him instead of seeking after a man made god like Random Chance that offers no help in times of trouble (Isaiah 45:20-22).  He made all people and scattered them across the Earth to cause them to seek after Him so that they would find Him (Acts 17:26-27).

Our entire duty is to trust and obey Him because everything we do shall be made known to everyone (Ecclesiastes 12:13-14).

The Father of Truth told Moses that since people could not stand in His presence that He would send a man that they must listen to (Deuteronomy 18:15-20). He sent the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) so that people could come back to Him (John 3:16-18).  He sent His Son into this world so people could understand what He is like (John 14:8-10).  His Son became like us so we could become like His Father (1 John 3:1-3).  That is our entire purpose!

Where we are going depends upon which path we decide to follow.  We will all be resurrected and each person will either suffer eternal punishment or enjoy eternal reward (Daniel 12:1-3).

Some will follow the Man of Truth in obeying the Father of Truth (Matthew 7:20-21).  They will live with forever with their Father in the renewed universe (Revelation 21:1-4).

Most will follow the Father of Lies (HaShatan aka Satan aka The Devil) by believing elaborate lies like the fairy tale of evolution because he is the original source of all lies (John 8:44).  They will live forever with their father in the Lake of Fire (Revelation 20:10-15).

You might be wondering since evolution is the greatest fairy tale ever told why do so many people believe it.  People follow this fairy tale for the same reason that they worship idols.  People worship at the altar of evolution because they have rejected the Father of Truth (Romans 1:21).  People irrationally cling to evolution because they want to believe a lie instead of the truth (Romans 1:25).   People drink the evolution kool-aid because they are in rebellion against Him (Romans 1:28-31).  People believe in evolution because they refuse to hear the truth and turn from their wickedness just like the kingdom of Judah (Zechariah 7:9-11).  In short, they believe in evolution because they want the fairy tale to be true regardless of how unreasonable it is.

You still might want some proof of the validity of the Book of Truth.

The universe is way too complex to have happened by Random Chance but instead is proof of a universe maker (Psalm 19:1).  The very universe and every living thing on Earth is proof of a creator by their very existence and complexity (Romans 1:20).   All you need for proof is to look at the sky on a starry night.

The Father of Truth tells of things before they ever occur which can never be contributed to Random Chance or any other idol (Isaiah 42:8-9).  There is no possibility of this occurring by any other means (Isaiah 45:21).  He declares the end of a matter from its beginning like when the Babylonians came from the east to remove the Jews from the land of Israel (Isaiah 46:9-11).  He declared while the nation of Judah was still standing that the Jews would be scattered all over the Earth and then regathered to once again create the nation of Israel (Jeremiah 31:9-11).  All you really need for proof is to look at a map of the Middle East.

The Father of Truth has given assurance of all of these things by raising the Man of Truth from the dead (Acts 17:30-31).  This was not done in the corner of some long lost place in the obscurity of unwritten history but was a well known event in the land of Israel and throughout the Roman Empire (Acts 26:23-26).  All you really need for proof is to read the history of the Middle East during the first century AD.

But better than all of that, the Father of Truth makes an offer of proof that neither Random Chance nor any other idol can ever make.  He promises that you can still find Him even if you have been lead astray by the idol like the one called Random Chance (Deuteronomy 4:28-29).  He promises that if you will seek after Him with all your heart then He will show Himself to you in a way that is meaningful to you (Jeremiah 29:13).  So the proof is available to anyone that is willing to look for it.

The story of how things began never changes in the Book of Truth because the Book of Truth never changes (Isaiah 40:6-8).  Not one part of one letter will ever change in the Book of Truth (Matthew 5:18).  The Book of Truth will outlast the universe (Matthew 24:35).   If you look at a part of the Book of Truth found in the dead sea scrolls written in the original language (Hebrew) in 200 BC you will find that not even a part of any letter is different in that same passage in a modern writing in Hebrew.  There is no need for new versions or rescue mechanisms or any other sort of change because the Book of Truth is true.

Those that preach evolution call themselves wise ("homo sapiens") but have become fools (Romans 1:22).  Those that believe that there is no god will always end up as fools (Psalm 14:1).  Those that believe there is no god will inevitably lose all restraint so they commit all kinds of evil (Psalm 53:1). That is why the atheistic leaders of the twentieth century like Lenin, Hitler, Stalin and Mao Zedong managed to kill more people than all of their predecessors combined.  It is as foolish to trust in evolution as it is to trust in an idol (Habakkuk 2:18-19).  Those that make up this fairy tale called evolution will be shown to be fools like those that make idols (Isaiah 45:16).  Those that teach this foolishness because they relied on their own strength instead of the Father of Truth will all be shown to be fools (Psalm 52:5-7).

The Father of Truth will one day show the world that all idols like the god called Random Chance are completely worthless so that no one worships them (Jeremiah 10:10-11). The doctrine of evolution is a lie that has no life to it and those that worship at the altar of evolution are completely in error so that they will one day perish (Jeremiah 10:14-15).

If you have drank the kool-aid of evolution now is the age for you to be enlightened.  It is time to reject this escape from reason and face the facts of life with a sober mind. It is time to listen to the voice of reason.  It is time to lose your religion.

The Father of Truth wants to reason with you so that you can be cleansed from your sins (Isaiah 1:18).  He is the one that is drawing you to the Man of Truth (John 6:44).  He has been allowing mankind to continue in evil because He is not willing that any should perish but desires that all should repent (2 Peter 3:9).  He has sent His son because he wants all men to come to the knowledge of the truth (1 Timothy 2:3-5).

You will not understand this with your head (mind) at first because you believe with your heart (spirit) not with your head (Romans 10:10).  You will understand more clearly as your mind is made new by reading the Book of Truth afterwards (Romans 12:2).

It is time for you to leave behind the greatest fairy tale ever told because you are no longer ignorant of the truth (Acts 17:30-31).  You need to come into the House of Truth by submitting to the Man of Truth in total surrender because you believe that the Father of Truth raised him from the dead (Romans 10:8-9).

Come into the House of Truth.

Turn On The Power

How can you operate in power, like the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ)?

In the TV show "Revolution", the characters live in an apocalyptic world, where all electricity suddenly stopped working fifteen years ago.  Those who were born afterwards, have only heard stories about electricity, but have never experienced, what electricity can do for them.  They had to get by in their communities and their individual lives, as best as they can without the benefits of electricity.  They had no choice, but to do everything in their own strength.  The only way, that they can really understand electricity, is for someone to turn on the power.

If there continued to be no power, then a few generations later stories of electricity will seem like fairy tales to many.  It will be debated in their communities, whether or not this power ever operated.  Others will believe, that this power was only for people way back then, but not for people in the time that they live in.

It will be a mystery to those, who believe the stories about electricity, why the power was turned off.  They will still be wanting to know, how to turn on the power.

Of course, electricity did not stop working for no reason at all.  There was a definite cause.  Only a few people in the show know why the power stopped.  They have access to a limited amount of electricity, but have not been able to share it with others.  Electricity is available to everyone, if they know how to turn on the power.

It is not that much different with the Children of Truth (those who obey The Father of Truth because they love Him).  They live in a world, where it seems that the power of the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka the Holy Spirit aka the Holy Ghost) suddenly stopped more than 1900 years ago.  They have only heard stories about the power of the Spirit of Truth in the Book of Truth (The Bible), but they have never experienced, what that power can do for them.  They have been getting by in their congregations and their individual lives as best as they can, without the benefits of the power of the Spirit of Truth.  They have no choice, but to do everything in their own strength.  The only way, that they can really understand the power of the Spirit of Truth, is for someone to turn on the power.

Since there continued to be no power for many generations, stories of the power of the Spirit of Truth seem like fairy tales to many.  There are debates in the congregations of the Children of Truth, whether or not this power ever operated.  Others believe, that this power was only for people way back then, but not for people in the time that we live in.

It is be a mystery to most of those, who believe the stories about the power of the Spirit of Truth, why the power was turned off.  They want to know how to turn on the power.

Of course, the power of the Spirit of Truth did not stop working for no reason at all.  There was a definite cause.  Only a few of the Children of Truth know why the power stopped.  They have access to a limited amount of the power of the Spirit of Truth, but have not been able to share it with others. The power of the Spirit of Truth is available to everyone, if they know how to turn on the power.

What does the power do for us? So why did the power stop?  And most importantly how can we turn on the power?

The power of Spirit of Truth will cause us to abound in hope (Romans 15:13).  The power helps us to bring others into obedience to the Man of Truth (Romans 15:18-19).  Our faith is based on the power of the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) instead of the philosophies of men when the power is demonstrated (1 Corinthians 2:4-5).  We will not be afraid in adversity when the power is operating (2 Timothy 1:7-8).

The Ministers of Truth are distinguished from the Ministers of Lies when the power of Spirit of Truth operates (1 Corinthians 4:19-20).  The power is the proof that they have been sent by the Father of Truth (2 Corinthians 6:4-7).  The power is sent so that people can believe the Word of Truth and experience the joy that only comes from the Spirit of Truth (1 Thessalonians 1:5-6).

The power has stopped because most of the Children of Truth have not known the truth about the power of the Spirit of Truth.  We will fall into error if we do not know what is in the Book of Truth or the power of the Spirit of Truth (Matthew 22:29).  We cannot have confidence in anything that leads to action until we hear the Word of Truth about it (Romans 10:17).  The power comes from acting in confidence on what the Book of Truth says instead of carry out religious rituals (Galatians 3:5).

Why have most of the Children of Truth not known the truth about the power of the Spirit of Truth?  The Man of Truth says that religious tradition causes people to disobey the Father of Truth (Matthew 15:3). They have laid aside the Word of Truth to hold on to their religious traditions (Mark 7:8).  They have rejected the commandment to operate in the power so they could keep the traditions of their religious organizations (Mark 7:9). These traditions have made kept the power from working in their lives (Mark 7:13).  These traditions of men have robbed them of the power promised by the Man of Truth (Colossians 2:6-8).  They do not recognize that the Man of Truth died to deliver them from the powerlessness that comes from keeping religious traditions that contradict the Book of Truth (1 Peter 1:17-19).

Most of the Children of Truth do not read the Book of Truth for themselves but rather rely on religious professionals to tell them what the Book of Truth says in weekly meetings.  This is the root cause of the problem.

Some of these religious professionals have a veil of tradition over their eyes that prevents them from seeing the truth when they read the Book of Truth (2 Corinthians 3:14-15).  These people seem religious but they deny that the power of the Spirit of Truth is meant to be operating (2 Timothy 3:5).  These religious leaders are always studying but never able to learn the truth (2 Timothy 3:7).  These religious professionals resist any truth that contradicts their religious traditions (2 Timothy 3:8)

The Father of Lies (HaShatan aka Satan aka The Devil) is the author of all lies including their traditions (John 8:44).  He has blinded them with tradition from seeing the truth about the power of the Spirit of Truth (2 Corinthians 4:4).  Since they have rejected the truth in favor of their tradition there is nothing left for them to believe except a lie (2 Thessalonians 2:11-12).

Make no mistake, some religious professionals are preaching the Word of Truth without flashy shows of power (John 10:41).  Some of them have been used mightily of the Father of Truth knowing only water baptism (Acts 18:24-25).  They just need someone to show them how to turn on the power (Acts 18:26)

So how do we turn on the power?

The power is turned on when the Spirit of Truth comes upon us (Acts 1:8).  When the power is turned on we will release The Sound of Power (Acts 2:4).  We will then experience the power of the world to come (Hebrews 6:4-5).

The Man of Truth is the one turns on the power by baptizing us in the Holy Spirit (Luke 3:16).  He is waiting on us to repent of putting our traditions in front of his commandments (Acts 2:38).  Our repentance is all that is needed for us to be refreshed (Acts 3:19).   When we act on the Word of Truth instead of our religious traditions then the Man of Truth will turn on the power (Acts 11:15-17).

Of course, the power is only for the Children of Truth that live in the House of Truth (Matthew 15:26).  Anyone can come into the House of Truth by surrendering everything to the Man of Truth because they believe that the Father of Truth raised him from the dead (Romans 10:9).

Come into the House of Truth.

Beam Me Up!

 Why is Star Trek like the Rapture?

When I was a kid, we watched Star Trek on TV.  In many episodes, Captain Kirk would go down to a planet on a mission from the Federation.  Often the planet was doomed.  Often the planet had been overran by the forces of evil.  Often the planet did not belong to the Federation.  While on the planet he would encounter trouble. Finally Captain Kirk would finish his mission on the planet. After that, he would leave the surface of the planet to go beyond the atmosphere.  Then he would travel to another world that was far more pleasant.  It was all because he had said those magic words: "Beam me up!". 

In other episodes some of his crew would be the ones on a planet that was hostile to those that belonged to another world.  They were being watched from above by the Federation even when they could not see it.  They knew that Captain Kirk would come back to the planet.  They knew that the wrath of the Federation was for the enemies of the Federation.  They knew that Federation would not leave them on the planet to face its wrath.  However, they did not know when Captain Kirk would come to rescue them.  At the last moment, when their mission had been completed and nothing remained but danger, Captain Kirk would give the order.  Then they would be snatch off the surface of the planet just in time to save them from harm.  A moment later they would be with Captain Kirk. After that, they would travel with Captain Kirk to another world that was far more pleasant.  Then the Federation and Captain Kirk would pour their wrath on the planet.  They were with Captain Kirk when he returned to attack the planet.  The result was the same as if they had said "Beam me up!".

It is not really that different with the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) and the Children of Truth (those who obey The Father of Truth because they love Him).

The Man of Truth came down to this world on a mission from the Father of Truth (Yahweh aka Jehovah aka God aka The Lord)  (John 5:30).  This world is doomed (1 Corinthians 7:31).  This world has been overran by the Father of Lies (HaShatan aka Satan aka The Devil) and his forces of evil (2 Corinthians 4:4).  This world does not belong to the Father of Truth (1 John 2:16).  While the Man of Truth was here he encountered trouble (John 5:16).  Finally the Man of Truth finished his mission on this planet (John 19:30).  After that, the Man of Truth left the surface of this planet to go beyond the atmosphere (Acts 1:9).  Then the Man of Truth went to another world that is far more pleasant (Acts 7:55).  It was as if the Man of Truth had said "Beam me up!".

Now the Children of Truth are in this world that is hostile to those that belong to another world (John 15:19).  The Children of Truth are being watched from above by the Father of Truth even when they cannot see it (1 Peter 3:12).   The Children of Truth know that the Man of Truth will return to this planet (Acts 1:11). The Children of Truth know that the wrath of the Father of Truth is for the enemies of the Father of Truth (Colossians 3:5-6).  The Children of Truth know that the Father of Truth will not leave them on this planet to face His wrath (1 Thessalonians 5:8-10).  However, the Children of Truth do not know when the Man of Truth will come to rescue them (Matthew 25:13).  At the last moment, when the mission of the Children of Truth has been completed and nothing remains but danger, the Father of Truth will give the order (Matthew 24:14).  Then the Children of Truth will be snatch off the surface of this planet just in time to save them from harm (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17).  A moment later the Children of Truth will be with the Man of Truth (1 Corinthians 15:49-53).  The Children of Truth will travel with the Man of Truth to another world that is far more pleasant (Philippians 3:20-21).  Then the Father of Truth and the Man of Truth will pour their wrath upon this planet (Revelation 6:15-17).  The Children of Truth will be with the Man of Truth when he returns to attack this world (1 Thessalonians 3:13).  The result will be the same as the Children of Truth saying "Beam me up!".

The truth is the Father of Truth will soon pour out His wrath on this planet but that not everyone is going to be able to escape His wrath as if they had said "Beam me up!".

It is only the pure in heart that shall be see the Father of Truth (Matthew 5:8).  Only those with a pure heart can demonstrate the love that comes from obeying the commandments of the Father of Truth (1 Timothy 1:5).  Only those with a pure heart can call out to the Father of Truth (2 Timothy 2:22).  It is only the Children of Truth that live in the House of Truth that will be saying "Beam me up!".

The only way to get a pure heart is to come into the House of Truth.  Those that come into the House of Truth believe that the Father of Truth raised the Man of Truth from the dead (1 Peter 1:21).  Those that come into the House of Truth will be able to love with a pure heart because the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost) has purified their souls when they chose to live in obedience (1 Peter 1:22).  You can be come into the House of Truth by being born again when you believe the Book of Truth (The Bible) that contains the Word of Truth (1 Peter 1:23).  Come into the House of Truth so that you can soon be saying "Beam me up!".

Come into the House of Truth.

The Power of The Dark Side

Do you know the power of the dark side?

"You don't know the power of the dark side".  This is the line that Darth Vader used to try to persuade Luke Skywalker to join the dark side in the movie "Return of The Jedi".  However, in reality it was Darth Vader that did not understand the power of the dark side.  The truth is Darth Vader was a slave to the power of the dark side.  Darth Vader needed someone with the power of the light side to deliver him from the power of the dark side.

Do you know the power of the dark side?

Those who operate in the power of the dark side can do things beyond human ability.  Those who operate in the power of the dark side can do many of the same things as those that operate in the power of the light side (Exodus 7:10-12).  Those that operate in the power of the dark side can hold captive the hearts of kings by displays of their power (Exodus 7:21-23).  Those that operate in the power of the dark side can bring trouble upon the land of a nation (Exodus 8:7).  Those that operate in the power of the dark side can talk to the dead (1 Samuel 28:8-11).  Those that operate in the power of the dark side can interpret dreams (Daniel 2:1-3). Those that operate in the power of the dark side can do amazing things that are beyond human ability (Matthew 24:24).  Those that operate in the power of the dark side can have superhuman strength (Mark 5:2-4).  Those that operate in the power of the dark side can have great influence over everyone around them (Acts 8:9-11).   Those that operate in the power of the dark side can turn people from those that operate in the power of the light side (Acts 13:6-8).  Those that operate in the power of the dark side can know future events before they occur (Acts 16:16).  Those that operate in the power of the dark side can recover from deadly wounds (Revelation 13:3).  Those that operate in the power of the dark side can call fire down from the sky (Revelation 13:13).  Those that operate in the power of the dark side can bring an idol to life (Revelation 13:13).

Do you understand the power of the dark side?

The power of the dark side does not come from some dark side of the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD).  Those that operate in the power of the dark side operate by the power of Spirits of Lies (demons aka devils aka unclean spirits aka gods) (1 Samuel 28:8-13).  The Children of Truth (those who obey the Father of Truth because they love Him) do not operated in the power of the dark side (John 8:12).   The Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) came to deliver people from the power of the dark side (John 12:46).  The Father of Lies (HaShatan aka Satan aka The Devil) is the source of the power of the dark side (Acts 26:18).  Those that operate in the power of the dark side operate in the power of the Father of Lies (2 Thessalonians 2:8-10).  The Father of Truth has no dark side (1 John 1:5).

Are you a slave to the power of the dark side?

Everyone that operates in the power of the dark side is a slave to the Father of Lies.  Those that operate in the power of the dark side can be driven to madness by the Father of Lies (Luke 8:27-29).  Those that operate in the power of the dark side belong to the Father of Lies (Acts 13:9-10).  Those that operate in the power of the dark side are under the control of Spirits of Lies and have no superhuman powers that belong to them (Acts 16:16-19).

Are you ready for someone with the power of the light side to deliver you from the power of the dark side?

The power of the dark side is no match for the power of the light side.  The power of the dark side is swallowed up by the power of the light side (Exodus 7:12).  Those who operate in the power of the dark side do not have as much power as those who operate in the power of the light side (Exodus 8:17-19).  Those who operate in the power of the dark side are under the curse of the Father of Truth (Leviticus 20:6).  Those who operate in the power of the dark side have brought a death sentence upon themselves (Leviticus 20:27).  Those who have anything to do with those operate in the power of the dark side have made themselves to be an abomination to the Father of Truth (Deuteronomy 18:10-12).  The Man of Truth has the power of the light side to deliver people from the power of the dark side (Mark 1:27).  The Children of Truth have been given the power of the light side to deliver those held hostage to the power of the dark side (Mark 16:17).  Those who operate in the power of the dark side can leave the dark side and come to the light side by putting their trust in the Man of Truth (Acts 8:13).  Those who operate in the power of the dark side can be made helpless by those who operate in the power of the  light side (Acts 13:11).  The power of the light side that comes from the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka Holy Spirit aka Holy Ghost) is greater than the power of the dark side that comes from the Father of Lies (1 John 4:2-4).  The Father of Truth will use the power of the light side to destroy the power of the dark side completely by destroying the Father of Lies (Revelation 20:10).

Are you ready to leave the dark side?

Perhaps you have been operating in the power of the dark side and you want to operate in the power of the light side instead.  You may have even made some sort of deal with the Father of Lies.  Or perhaps you  have never done anything like that.  Whatever the case, if you have not came into the House of Truth then you can come into the House of Truth to be kept safe from the power of the dark side. The Spirit of Truth destroys the power of the dark side that has been enslaving you so you can come into the House of Truth (Isaiah 10:27).  The Man of Truth came to destroy the power of the dark side so everyone can come into the House of Truth and operate in the power of the light side (1 John 3:8).  If you come into the House of Truth then you belong to the Father of Truth and the Father of Lies no longer has any claim on you (Colossians 1:13).  You come into the House of Truth by submitting to the Man of Truth in everything because you believe that the Father of Truth raised him from the dead (Romans 10:9).

Are you ready to know the power of the light side?

You can start to operate in the power of the light side by being baptized in the Spirit of Truth in the House of Truth (Acts 1:8).  The Spirit of Truth will operate the power of the light side if you will remain in the House of Truth (1 Corinthians 12:7-11).

Come into the House of Truth.

The War of the Worlds

Is there a war being fought over this planet by beings from another world?

On October 30, 1938  mass panic ensued in the US and Canada when Orson Wells made a radio broadcast of "The War of the Worlds".  This novel by H. G. Wells was formatted for radio as a series of fictional news reports that would interrupt the music that would be playing normally.  Orson had trained the other voice actors by using a recording of the actual news reports from the Hindenburg disaster so they could sound authentic.  The realism of the performance was so overwhelming for many people, that despite the repeated warnings that this was only a radio drama, widespread panic of an alien invasion soon set in.

This panic of an alien invasion spread throughout the United States and Canada like some sort of mind altering virus.  Some people headed to their cellars with shotguns in hand.  Other people got into their cars to flee the cities for the country side.  Still other brave souls went armed to Grover's Mill, New Jersey where the broadcast had reported as the landing site of the aliens to defend the Earth.

The worst panic occurred in the city of Concrete, Washington, where the power had went out half way through the broadcast.  The electrical substation had short circuited and created a flash of brilliant light that was eerily similar to the flash of the Martian death rays that were described in the broadcast.  The town was plunged into darkness with no phone service or other means to communicate with the outside world.  Almost all of the 1,000 residents panicked.  Some people fainted while others armed themselves.  Some men headed up the mountains to hide with their families while others headed to the hills to protect their moonshine stills.  One man even went to the town gas station and demanded gas without paying for it so he could drive 40 miles to receive last rites from his priest.  It took a few days before everyone had been located and convinced that it had only been a radio drama instead of an actual news broadcast.

People from all walks of life had thought that it was literally the end of the world.  The radio broadcast had driven ordinary people into an insane panic because people know instinctively that this world will one day end.  The panic ended when people realized that there was no war between different worlds going on that would end this world forever.

Or is there?

The Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) has invaded the world of darkness to deliver the human race from death (Isaiah 9:2).  The Man of Truth started his attack against the world of darkness in Israel (Matthew 4:15-17).  The world of darkness cannot prevent the Man of Truth from delivering the human race from death (John 1:4-5).  The Man of Truth will deliver only those who believe that the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) sent him to deliver the human race from death and want to live in the world of light (John 3:17-21).  The Children of Truth (those who obey The Father of Truth because they love Him) that follow the Man of Truth have been come into the world of light (John 8:12).  The Children of Truth have left the world of darkness (John 12:46).  The Children of Truth are no longer under the authority of the Father of Lies because they have been delivered from the world of darkness (Acts 26:18).  There is a war between the world of light and the world of darkness over the souls of men (Colossians 1:12-13).  It is the war of the worlds.

The war of the worlds began long ago.  The Father of Lies had lived in the original garden of Eden (Ezekiel 28:13).  The Father of Lies had ruled on the Earth under the clouds but sought to take the place of the Father of Truth above the clouds (Isaiah 14:14).  The Father of Lies attempted to take the throne of the Father of Truth (Isaiah 14:13).  The Father of Lies lead a revolt against the Father of Truth (Ezekiel 28:14-16).  The Father of Lies was cast back down to the Earth (Isaiah 14:12).  The Man of Truth saw the Father of Lies being cast down like lightning (Luke 10:18).  One third of the angels had joined the Father of Lies in the rebellion so they were also cast down to the Earth (Revelation 12:4).

The Angel of Truth Michael came to help the man that had been sent from heaven to fight against the prince of Persia so that Daniel could receive the answer to his prayer (Daniel 10:12-14).  Michael was called the prince over Daniel even though Daniel was serving Cyrus as prime minister of Persia (Daniel 10:21) because these were not human princes that were fighting.  Michael is the prince will stand up to fight for the people of Israel (Daniel 12:1) in the last days.  Michael was the same archangel that fought with the Father of Lies over the body of Moses (Jude 1:9).  This same Michael will lead the Angels of Truth to finally prevail over the Father of Lies with his angels to cast them to the Earth for the last time so that they can never enter Heaven again (Revelation 12:7-9).   The Angels of Truth fight against the angels of darkness in the war of the worlds.

There is a prince over the world of light.  This prince is the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6).  This prince is over the armies of Heaven (Daniel 8:10-11).   This prince shall be able to stand up to defend Israel because he is the ruler over every prince (Daniel 8:25).  This prince is the Prince of Life who overcame death (Acts 3:15).  This prince is the Man of Truth who will rule of over every king on the Earth (Revelation 1:5).

There is a prince over the world of darkness.  This prince is the prince of the Spirits of Lies (devils aka demons aka unclean spirits aka gods) (Matthew 9:34).  This prince is the Lord of the Flies (Beelzebub) because flies collect wherever there is death and filth (Matthew 12:24).  This prince is the Father of Lies (HaShatan aka Satan aka The Devil) (Mark 3:22-23).  This prince is the prince of this world (John 14:30).  This prince is the prince of the power of air that works in the Children of Lies (Ephesians 2:2-3).

These two princes fight each other in the war of the worlds.  The Father of Lies has hurt the Man of Truth but the Man of Truth will destroy the Father of Lies (Genesis 3:15).  The Father of Lies had some of the Angels of Lies have sex with humans to corrupt the human race with giants before the flood (Genesis 6:2).  The Father of Truth destroyed everyone that was corrupted with angel blood with the flood (Genesis 6:9-13).   The Father of Lies had some of his angels have sex with humans to corrupt the human race with giants after the flood as well (Genesis 6:4)  These made men of renown like the giant Goliath (1 Samuel 17:4). The Man of Truth then used men like David to destroy these giants (1 Samuel 21:9).  The Father of Lies has duped men into sacrificing to Spirits of Lies thru idols (Deuteronomy 32:17).  The Man of Truth turned men from worshiping idols (1 Thessalonians 1:9).  The Father of Lies had Spirits of Lies force themselves into people to bring harm to the human race (Matthew 8:28).  The Man of Truth has forced Spirits of Lies out people (Matthew 12:28).   The Father of Lies was behind the crucifixion of the Man of Truth (John 13:2).  The Man of Truth destroyed the power of the Father of Lies when he rose again (Hebrews 2:14-15).  The Father of Lies has blinded those that live in darkness (2 Corinthians 4:4).  The Man of Truth has became a light so men could see (2 Corinthians 4:6).

The Children of Truth also fight against the world of darkness because they belong to the world of light (Ephesians 6:12).  The Father of Lies makes war against the Children of Truth (Revelation 2:10). Those who follow the Father of Lies make war on the Children of Truth (Revelation 13:7). The Children of Truth are part of the world of light that fights against the world of darkness in the war of the worlds.

The war of the worlds will come to an end in the future. The Man of Truth will make war against the Father of Lies at the end of this age (Revelation 19:11-14).  The Man of Truth will cast the Father of Lies into the core of the Earth (Revelation 20:1-3). The Children of Truth will reign with the Man of Truth for a thousand years in the world of light (Revelation 20:4-6).  The Father of Lies will be released after a thousand years so that he can lead anyone that does not want to be in the world of light against the Man of Truth (Revelation 20:7-8).  The Father of Truth will cast the Father of Lies along with everyone and everything that belongs to the world of darkness into the Lake of Fire (Revelation 20:9-15).  The war of the worlds will finally be over.

When the war of the worlds is over, this world shall end and be replaced with a new Heaven and a new Earth (Revelation 21:1).  Only those that have came into the House of Truth will be part of the world of light (Revelation 21:27).

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

Come into the House of Truth.
