Reality - Double Up
A second witness is the foundation of due diligence.
Two commandments.
The number 2 has a couple of interesting meanings. Most studies will show it often means division or two different answers, choices, ways, etc. But 2 also can mean unity in that two become one. It can mean witnessing because by having such a union they become stronger. That's why disciples were sent out in twos.
Matthew 18: 16
Out of the mouth of two witnesses every word shall be established.
Later in that same book when Jesus was asked which commandment was most important He gave two that witness to each other.
Matthew 22: 35
Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,
First off we have a lawyer trying to set Christ up or get him to say something provably wrong. So don't let the following use of "Master" let you think this person was being anything less than covert. He's trying to trick Christ.
Matthew 22: 36
Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
Matthew 22: 37
Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
Matthew 22: 38
This is the first and great commandment.
For the ease of clarity you can safely update the word thou to you, shalt to shall, an thy to your. It reads very smooth while keeping the exact same context…
You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.
This doesn't mean a person has to become a fanatic or terrorist or take extreme direction to satisfy this commandment. You can do this within the scope of your own life. You love your parents don't you? You do your best to uphold the family name don't you? You pass on your family values and obligations to your children don't you? Yet within that greater picture you still choose your own career, spouse, style and tastes in music, food, and entertainment. You come from a whole but you are by no means anybody's puppet. You can be a complete individual and keep those tenets.
Matthew 22: 39
And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
As an individual you have the collective insight to all the numbers of this equation and therefore you know intuitively when lines are being crossed. It's the same math others in the family use to determine if some else has crossed family lines. But he didn't leave it at that did he?
Matthew 22: 40
On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
Wow. He even made it blatant… on these two hang all. That's a - l - l. These two make the rest so natural that there really should be no questions. Everything is subordinate to these two including the sum of how humanity played and continues to play out. These two laws enable a society to exist that features the individual variety our diverse cultures represent. I assure you we will all be very familiar with these two in the Lord's Day and I guarantee you they are written in the hearts of every member of the eternity.
Two on paper.
How many Testaments? Two. The first recorded the law and prophets. The second is currently fulfilling the law and prophets. Together they allow us to witness to each other and rightly divide what is truth. For example, in the Old Testaments book of Psalms (meaning book of songs) the exact words spoken by Christ on the cross are written. Of course he knew those words because he was a student of the word, even in a fleshly sense. But why did he choose to quote the 22nd chapter in that old book? When you read it you find he quoted accurately, so what, any student would… but if you read closely you will see it was also written how the other activities around him would play out and what other people would specifically do. How they pierced his hands and feet. How water poured out after they speared him instead of breaking bones. How they gambled for his garment. The thing is that this was written about 1,000 years before Christ's time. Sure Jesus could have studied his words but how could the others have mapped themselves to the very same Psalm? Only God can do that. Your building block is hidden in the "complete fix" exercise we did earlier. He knew the players. He just had to get them in position and let them live their life. The number of testimonies that support each other between the Old and New Testament create a bond tighter than any court of common sense would require. Besides if you removed either then the other could not stand and therefore any church teaching from one at the exclusion of the other has a false salvation. It may sound a bit strong… that doesn't change the truth.
Two on the cross.
How many people were in the conversation next to Christ on the crosses? Two. One for each side of the gulf to witness Jesus physically died on the cross (some people teach there was a scam and Jesus never died that day). While on the cross Jesus said to one that "today" he would see him in paradise. He didn't say he was going to hang out in a grave for three days and would catch up later. That's because all three went to paradise the instant they passed just as it is written that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Father. There is no in between. You can further document that point in Ecclesiastes chapter 12 where it written that after we die the dust returns to the earth and the spirit returns to God. No delay. At that moment as described where Jesus gave up the ghost (ghost should be translated spirit)… that's when the return happens. So let it rest that on that same day they were all here together and then saw each other in paradise as a double witness that Jesus experienced the cross to completion. As a second witness to paradise you can check Luke 16 where both sides of the gulf are described. One side rejoicing and one side not very happy… They didn't make it… This is that division part of two. Since they are there in full knowledge they are aware they are on the wrong side. But these are still God's children. He defines fair and exemplifies justice to all his family when the dust settles regardless of the part an individual was destined to play in the 2nd earth age. Simply tell me how a person of Noah's time could obtain salvation when Christ wasn't even born yet? How about Moses? His resume for God's work is pretty tough to beat but he too was long before Christ. How about someone in China during the time of Noah's flood? What could they know? That's why the first book of Peter documents that while Christ was in the tomb He went to that side of paradise and preached and gave them the opportunity to believe on him and cross that gulf. That's fair. It should make sense to you that he taught for about 3 days. Now you know where he was and what he was doing during the three days his flesh was still in the tomb. Those who think, teach, or in any way acknowledge "soul sleep" are spiritually asleep! Don't fall for this. It is not biblical. Christ just proved it. Mature in the word.
Two on the mount.
How many souls appeared with Jesus on the mount of transfiguration? Two. They witness to that of Jesus' transfiguration. To transfigure means to change from the physical body to the spiritual body without leaving the carcass behind. This was done to Jesus as evidence he was Christ. This was done to Elijah out of God's love for how he played his position. Also you can read how Satan wanted Moses bones but God wouldn't let him have them so He took them. They provide credible witness that the very same was done to Jesus and that his body was not stolen from the tomb. Most importantly this was done as an ensample to you how we will all change when Christ returns. Want a little more? Christ's crucifixion itself was a double witness in that his body rested in the tomb for three days while he preached to the others that preceded him. That is a witness to you where the dead are and it was a witness to those who already passed that he played the game as he said he would. After teaching in the prison He was transfigured as a testimony to his victory and to further cross witness with Moses and Elijah. Wow. See how these building blocks nicely stack together! These waters may seem deep but they are very still if you don't splash around… just let it flow.
The Two Witnesses are next.
There were two witnesses in the wilderness in Moses and Aaron. Enoch and Noah were two witnesses before the flood. There were two angels that witnessed the Resurrection. Now in our day we will have the two witnesses described in the book of Revelation. The two witnesses and their details are covered in chapter 11. In short they lead the charge of God's warriors that stand against this upcoming attempt of Satan's to assume the role of Christ. Did you catch that? You can turn to chapter 11 right now and see the description of a real world event that is about to happen and has not happened yet. But as the things they do map to the descriptions in that 11th chapter let it sink in that the book of Revelation was penned in roughly 95 A.D. We're talking almost 2,000 years before the fact. Hey, isn't that kind of like a double witness to how Psalms 22 was penned 1,000 years before its facts. A few more of these and you will see why I call this book "reality" and I find "faith" something to graduate from. The intriguing thing about the two witnesses is that they are not named. As a result there is much speculation about who (or what) they might be. Some people think that Moses and Elijah are the two witnesses. We know they appeared with Christ on the Mount of Transfiguration but I propose that's because they are Christ's evidence in that portion of the trial. So my supposition is that those two already played their positions in the realm of this human experiment. Their spirit however will live on and inspire many.
Separate soul and spirit.
To get an oversimplified view on the difference between soul and spirit I would think it's safe to consider the spirit as the unction before you act as well the aura in the room after you leave, or as the inspirational affect you have on others. Everyone has a spirit. That's different from the entity we call a soul. The soul is always present within the confines of your body, be it your fleshly body or spiritual body (he spiritual body is the one capable of eternal existence, and the fleshly is the one donned for participation in the plan of salvation as it comes from the dust and returns to the dust). Your soul is your entity and is always intact per say. You can't carve a little of it off and hand it out to others. When you leave the room your entire soul leaves the room. When life in the flesh stops the soul returns to the Father. Whereas when you leave the room your spirit still can inspire those that are there. Some spirits are of the darkest kind and they have the ability to linger here on earth long after their soul has returned. The point is these familiar spirits are here and are able to influence others. To some it might be a voice in their head. To others it might be the spirit pretending to be a long lost relative. These spirits can be sent back to their owners when done in Christ's name. Be careful though because a spirit strong enough to take over a person (possession) would surely handle anyone not founded in the Word.
Elijah's spirit was promised.
It was promised that the spirit of Elijah would be present in the end times. That's different from actually being here. If so then he would come to this era twice and that breaks the rules (more or less). He's not going to posses a soul and takeover the controls like some stupid exorcist theme or video game. It's going to be more like how people describe the next great player. Like "He's going to be the next Elway", or "Jordan will pass the mantle to him." It's more about a person riding point at a level that is beyond standard. So if we research what Elijah did that marked his contribution then we have some attributes to look for in our time when a man like him is badly needed. It turns out his ministry focused on turning the hearts of the children back to the fathers (plural). It will take this whole work to get the landscape of that picture but it is one of the underlying truths I'm trying to communicate. There are two that are claiming to be your father. In our spiritual body we are neither male nor female. We are all children of God as adults with our same dispositions. It's what makes us free individuals. But here in the flesh there is this procreation and heritage thing that we must play out. Some of the souls that come here are very much the servants of God and some of the souls are very much the servants of Satan. This is pretty proportionate to where these individuals stood in the first earth age combined with all the other variables that put it only in God's class of math to completely comprehend. The point traces back to the garden of Eden where it is established that both the good side and the bad side have a heritage of flesh that has propagated the planet. To understand this concept requires knowledge of several other primary tenets in order to keep the big picture clear. So if what you are reading here is in direct alliance with what Elijah emphasized then there is another prophesy coming to pass before your eyes. Not me or what I'm saying… I'm just a reporter from the field. But I did get it from somewhere, right?
Is it here?
Where did I get my information? How can I claim the facts under Elijah's spirit? I sure hope I can represent and show myself inspired by him but I wouldn't put myself in a position as representing him on the level described… an actual role. In this life I have three purposes, to be a student, to be a witness, and to serve. I surely would consider myself lucky if I could study under Elijah in the eternity and I think I could be a good student. But the role that is being filled under that prophesy is much bigger than how I scribble these notes in hope to pull just one out of confusion. And I'm still working on it. That's both time and earnest study to get clarity. I didn't see this all the first time I read the Bible. I too was taught how to read with discernment and be able to separate fact from fiction. This is much different from being told what to read, or what to think. The how to part enable each of us to develop our own reasoning skills and do reach conclusions based on getting something instead of just being told something. There is a very fine line between cults and today's churches and I think the biggest sign of which your in is if you are taught how to handle your Bible as a research tool and to question the teachings if they don't align. Well I can say that at some point someone will label my church with cult status even though the platform, motives, and every other evidence shows different. In fact the person I study under just so happens to emphasize the very same concepts taught by Elijah. The majority of others may be looking for a Satan to arise from the people, whereas the storyline truly shows how a supernatural entity will do the deed. This changes timelines and separates those who are called out of confusion with those that will follow suit as written. Wow! Is this real enough for you yet? If you ask me I believe it is very possible that Pastor Murray of the Shepherd's Chapel in Gravette, AR very well could satisfy the prophesy of the influence of Elijah's spirit. He's still Arnold that's for sure but I can see how Elijah's spirit is reflected in their ministry. Even the Holy Spirit has been with us for over 2,000 years inspiring many to fulfill what is written. So maybe that's what drives SCN and we're still waiting for Elijah's, maybe that happens during the trials. After all that is what will start to turn our lost sheep back home. Still the majority of souls are ignorant to the concept of spiritual presence or the tangible details of what a spirit can or can't do. I guess that's why we call it faith… one word to describe belief in something that doesn't seem tangible enough to grasp or equate with reality, and most importantly in our society something that excuses one from justifying their position. That doesn't work once you've seen the inside.
The two witnesses are here.
This is a testing of faith against the avalanche of man's self-proclaimed reality. It will definitely be tested when Satan is here trying to woo the world into believing he is Christ. During that same time the two witnesses will be confronting Satan about his claim… How could two humans challenge this supernatural entity with his entourage? Two people armed with the Word… I mean armed with the Word that describes their very victory… are not going to have any problems fulfilling their roles. Since we entered the fig tree generation in 1948 those people have aged quite a bit. The two witnesses of our time will most likely be adults groomed for their position in a secular way (like how Moses was Egyptian trained). These two points lead me to conclude the two witnesses are alive and with us now. It is also my opinion that they have been training for quite some time and are very eager to get this thing going. This is going to be a global series of events and it will usher in the Lord's Day. It is written the witnesses will be able to move mountains and control weather? Well this is in Revelation where symbolism reigns. The use of mountains is used to describe nations. Just like the use of seas describes people, horns are power. So I don't think it's too much of a stretch to consider weather as the atmosphere or climate. If moving a denomination is figuratively moving a mountain such a dynamic power is sure to charge the atmosphere. The truth as witnessed by these two will provide you with the documentation you need to reconcile your own mind. It doesn't matter what angle you take, these two will expose your doctrine and prove who's doing the deceiving. That's why they are the two witnesses. Your groups will encounter tremendous strife as you debate the positions and the group chooses to follow Satan. Who will stand up within your group to represent the Father's side when they recognize the two that were written about so long ago?
They will expose.
Don't forget that Satan is coming to claim your church as a block of card-carrying members, so when you see the two witnesses they will surely have your safety in mind. Don't be surprised if they correct many of the sidetracks that have pulled today's churches out of step with family (even if they are well behaved and inspiring citizens). Their challenges are going to frustrate a lot of people that feel they are doing it God's way (so to speak). This is going to crush multitudes that see their traditions undressed and floundering in shame. For example there is a church or two that claim to exorcise the "gifts". These are often referred to as charismatic. Many of these churches practice and accept a language that only a few can understand. When I witnessed it someone blurted out a string of phonetics during group prayer. Another person in that room stood up to translate because only one is supposed to understand and interpret for the group. One speaks it, another interprets it, then all believe it. It is viewed as a gift people strive for in their church. Step in the two-witnesses who have a global stage to explain how people who claim to speak in tongues cite the New Testament in a section where spreading the word to different nations and peoples was being discussed. This is very different from the tongue spoken on the day of Pentecost. That was when one spoken word was heard in individual dialects at the same time. That's far from what this it talking about which is how we deal day to day. I can speak English and a little Japanese. My English is native and I started learning Japanese at 19 when I lived there. I started too late and will always have a challenge when it comes to vocabulary, but I got in early enough that I was able to overcome things like accent. Most people who don't speak Japanese think I'm as fluent as any Japanese could be and the Japanese who enter into light conversation with me confuse my lack of accent with having a native vocabulary often unleashing strings of words I never heard, or I maybe I knew but forgot, and because I was trying to think of what I forgot I then missed the next ten words they said… Aaahh! I'm back to being just a rookie with their language. I would have a difficult time explaining how to extinguish a fire let alone how to make an informed and educated conclusion of reality based on a God that is different from their god. Surely they would quickly find my oratory limit. Things like vocabulary, daily use, and correction are all required to polish the dynamics between languages. The context of tongues in this case is to emphasize that when we visit a foreign country we should have an interpreter or the people won't even know when to say Amen. It is not the babble as taught through the mainstream denominations America nurtures. That is part of the deception and I just showed you how they will twist what should be real to match what they proclaim. Now the deeper questions surface… What tongue is it they speak? What spirit is in the person that was able to understand such babble? What if this supernatural entity I keep warning you about speaks that same language? Who lead their church?
This is reality. We can dismantle biblical fraud with basic common sense. Let me be very clear about this. People who follow (or feel empowered) by this false doctrine of tongues are going to toss scripture at you to say I'm wrong. Check them closely. Their facts are a Samurai's short blade not his sword.
Most players stay on their team.
When Satan comes he will easily speak the babble/foreign language and those in his church will respond. Let that settle in your mind. His church will respond. They may think they are pursuing Christ. He will fly a Christian flag. This is one of his tactics. He will giggle with others and they will respond. The setups are all over. Don't be surprised to see a knights of the roundtable featuring all of today's super preachers. Oh, and they each have a castle in the country of their choice. No Satan has us right where he wants us… divided. It's much easier for him to control that way. I'm pretty sure the members of our opposing religions will have some delusion straight from Satan that we are all okay in our own faiths and peace to their ways, etc. Besides there is one residing fact that weights heaviest on his mind… he knows it is written in Revelation chapter 9 that he only has 5 months before the game clock for humanity in the age of flesh expires. He has 5 months to convince the populous that he will be our leader. Please do your math carefully when you come to this crossroad. Nonetheless I understand. That's why I didn't title the paragraph most players come out of confusion.
We will be on our team.
When those who stay true to Christ are delivered up to testify it will be a direct communication between God and the accuser. It won't be something they memorized, read, or recalled. Imagine the true Holy Spirit speaking through them as a last warning to you. You will know this is a fact because every human will hear the words in their own native language down to the local slang and there will be only one voice with no interpreters. This is that tongue which was spoken on Pentecost day. There was no interpreter there either. Look it up! It's explained in Acts chapter 2. There will be one mouth, one speech, and thousands of custom ears. When this happens consider how could I tell you about it now unless it was always true? Maybe then you will start to ponder everything else I've been striving to exemplify. If the exposure of today's fake charisma conflicts with your faith then you might want to start planning how you will explain yourself to the Father when the subject comes up. I mean, you did read this far. Even if you didn't get it in your school you at least were warned here. There is a team that comes together to play in the greatest event of time, and there are a multitude of teams that are going to become cancerous to their entire heritage and fall drunken into the hands of the Desolator.
What angers God?
Let's go deeper and clarify the intensity and direction of the anger that will be seen by all on the face of Christ (who by the way is often taught to be only love for all people unconditionally). Of course Christ came in peace the first time. He was so happy to be with all of His people regardless of their pedigree. His plan is salvation. The partakers in his plan are whomsoever will. But many of today's card-carrying Christians think he never got mad, or should I say he always turned a cheek. This is far from the truth. As a spiritual adult among children he maintained his temper. His fish were doing the best they could in the waters of their time. When did Christ get most angry? He went to the temple for worship and was confronted by an onslaught of, let's say, money driven scams and empty doctrine. You know. Buy these sparrows and set them free. Make your public donation here. These guys had ways to milk the congregation coming and going. Christ did say they turned His temple into a den of thieves. How was His temper then? To use a modern colloquialism he was pissed. But did He kill anyone? No. Did He ever leverage Godly power to hurt one of His people struggling to play the game? No. Even the fools who ran the schools lived to the end of their days.
Bad Doctrine.
Compare the lifestyle of the lady by the well and what lead to her 6th man is it? Compare her to the discipline and structure of the church leaders… yet whom did Christ show compassion and whom was the focus of his angry outburst? What makes you think it will be any different when He comes back? Revelations even tells why He found fault with 5 of the 7 churches… And it tells us what the other two churches did that ensured they were found without fault. What angers God is that He laid it all out and churches are blind to the content, or they take His word and twist it to their purpose. What do you think enabled Satan to even plan an overthrow? The words they read from scripture could be pronounced with accuracy but the context and how it pertains to our reality was missing. They were lyrics without a tune (otherwise they would have known who Jesus was). One of the biggest fattest facts you can ever grasp is that the mechanism of the church was the primary vehicle used to keep God's children from truth. It is most often manifest innocently by doctrine that is misleading to those who are seeking. This is consistent throughout our time. It makes no difference to the victim if the educator acted with intent or not, with love or not, as instructed by spiritual unction or as directed from the governing institution. What matters to the victim is they trusted the one they received inspiration from.
Intention isn't on trial, facts are.
Most churches mean well when they come to the crossroads forcing them to breakaway from their parent organization. Most families mean well when they drag you into church every Sunday to learn of your affiliation. In some points of our timeline these people might have been chasing the best viable option at the time. At this point in our timeline the churches have cultivated an extremely large crop of law abiding citizens that have earnestly developed their inner person in a positive direction. But there is some discernment that would challenge the very foundations of the system that brought them up. Is this possible? If so what changes? So just what is the responsibility to a gardener of poisonous mushrooms? To cultivate takes time, planning, effort, and commitment. To be confronted with a poisonous fact and then let horticulture pride stop accurate discernment is the foundation of deception. That IS how people get tricked. The gardener thinks his mushrooms are great. He may have built up a resistance as he nibbled in his time and I'm sure he'll defend his garden to the death. After all it is how he makes a living. If the gardener eats his mushrooms alone, so what? It's the fact he is mass-producing and selling these things under some organic label that compounds the responsibility. Whether acting in full awareness of the facts or out of pure ignorance due to the chain of command the net is the same. It's just a matter of depth. You tell me how deep you want to go? It does not matter what your intentions are if you lead people to the false one and it matters even less what your intentions were if you choose to follow him yourself.
