Reality - Reconcile
Reconciliation is for those with eyes to see and ears to hear.
Three related courses.
Although there are plenty of records and diverse cultures around the world to pull from, I want to address our history as recorded in a religious sense by three major religions of the world today. In general Jewish people use what is basically the Old Testament along with a book of rules they wrote. Christians follow the Old and New Testaments. Muslims acknowledge the Old Testament and Jesus as a prophet, but that's where the similarities end as they continue on to another edition of writings that came about 600 years after Christ. So the first group holds to the Old Testament and is waiting for the first advent, the second group views Jesus as fulfilling the scriptures of the Old Testament and believes the New verifies it, and the third claims Jesus was a prophet and it was later Mohammad that fit the bill and finished the job.
Will they add up?
I believe the content recorded in the Old and New Testaments can be accurately discerned if put through a reconciliation process. It has to be as accurate a process as examining all 12 monthly bank statements each year and ensuring the balances are cleared as we go. While this may sound like an insurmountable task it is goes quick because major holes expose major frauds and the finer details fall into place by themselves. Checking a statement is important because a person can't just say "I had about this much" because they remember what they want it to be and not what it actually was. This lack of discipline lets numbers become interchangeable. The most basic bank statement won't make it past the first month under that process. If the whole account is only a Benjamin deep then who really cares about how much is or isn't there, but what if the account is 12 billion deep? What then? Is some personal opinion about what you think you had as important as knowing exactly what you have and what you're losing… and why?
Truth exposes many.
A big reason I support the combination of these two works as one finished work is because they cross reference in several languages across all generations of man without inconsistency. I'm not saying they are being used that way. I'm saying they offer that level of concrete evidence if you reconcile the content. You can use the New Testament to verify content in the Old and vice versa. A person skilled in the word to use them both to provide the very evidence Judaism refuses in vain glory. The same person can show that the Old and the New have no connection whatsoever to the writings of those who seek to exterminate their infidels… at least not as on the same team. Make no mistake though, they saw the garden. They have their god and they have their war. Jews and Christians are the fractured body of our God and we are not able to function as a team because of a lack of unified discipline. It seem like I should say something here about united we stand and divided we fall, but for such a reality it sure seems trite. Yet it is where we are today. Those who can't survive reconciliation of the first bank statement have nothing to stand on when the second statement comes and a third statement isn't even necessary. Beyond that there is no need to send a statement each month if they can't get past the one they are on.
Truth exposes all.
For now let's reconcile a bit by running with the fact all three seem to have the content from the Old Testament in their account. It's a good starting point. if you find your account is out of balance then you are the only one who can reconcile the realities in your mind and then govern yourself accordingly. Only you. If you find yourself out of alignment but still can't walk from your scenario then maybe you have faced your test and it looks like you have made your choice. When the time comes for you to stand before God the two of you can discuss it at length. For a thousand years God reconciles the records of every person's account from every single race and religion that ever walked the face of this earth. That is about as inclusive and individual as you can get. I personally presume no position for or against you. I'm running the same race! If something I say grabs you then take hold and keep reading. I'm reaching to those who seek to know so there is plenty more good information if you continue. If I sense a person is running with me I will always investigate. It is a team event, right. Most of the time I found fast runners training for a different race, or even worse in a few cases they ran knowingly for a different team. I usually stop training with them pretty quickly because I would rather run alone than have a team that doesn't even know why they are on the field. Don't worry, I will reconcile my efforts in the very same manner my critiques will reconcile theirs. If they are right I will be corrected. The real truth respects no individual and goes a straight direction. I can accept that. I don't know everything and everyday it seems I learn something that would have let me handle a past situation better. Oh well, if I get a little dirty doing my duty then so be it. I bruise myself daily as a carpenter but you should see some of my work. It seems like I champion life nightly in my dreams then fumble through my daily sitcom. The bottom line is that everybody has their own reconciliation and that is none of my business or intent, so for that reason you cannot say this work is anything other than a call to my teammates. I've been praying for them to come out of confusion for years.
Truth exposes truth.
The Bible may seem like a linear statement of history and poetry supported by mystical dreams of an apocalyptic future, but under that skin is a tightly interwoven account of a heritage that has passed through time. It is both a contract between all mankind and God and the playbook for us today as it was for our heritages then. The overlapping events and consistency of knowledge each give remarkable support for the others across the vast distance of time. Because of that support you cannot accurately teach Genesis unless you accurately understand Revelation, and the opposite is true. They do reconcile. There is very little room for "interpretation" as most of these fishermen claim, AND it is this "interpretation" that is their bate. Don't take it!
Truth exposes fraud.
Interpretation is a vague pillar of position. It leads to inaccurate fact finding and that keeps people in self-imposed ignorance. For example, it is totally ignorant to believe the earth is only six thousand years old. In reality the Bible claims to be as old as science can grasp. It is "doctrine" taken out of context and misrepresented by stupid Christian scholars that keep science and religion pitted against each other. Not what is written but what isn't reconciled. Want one more example? I would be most ignorant to think Adam and Eve were the first humans! That would mean all the beautiful races and ethnos came from only two people and spanned the globe with unique cultures? Aren't these the same people who say Africans came from Noah's son Ham? I don't think so. Impossible. Illogical. This problem stems from those who have misunderstood what is written. Don't equate that with meaning what is written is wrong. That is their test and they are taking it accordingly. Think about it. Didn't the telephone game described on the Reality page demonstrate that personal interpretation is a primary vehicle for confusion or deception? As long as you sit in that circle you are going to be deceived. Maybe you will see through out this work, it is the consistency in truth, facts and purpose that must ring throughout in order to achieve true discernment.
Truth refines the KJV.
The King James Authorized Version of the Bible was made available to the English reader in 1611. It is called an "authorized" version because King James did this as an official act. This was a tremendous effort and the focus was to keep pure what was already written. The translation is basically from the Hebrew (Old Testament), and Greek (New Testament) into English. The KJV 1611 would comprise these official translations. While this sounds obvious it should raise a red flag, especially to anyone who speaks more than one language. Translations rarely match a one to one word ratio. Often words don't have counter parts or they many have multiple counter parts. Then there is sentence structure and grammatical law, & etc. These problems become magnified when you consider going from a fixed language like Greek into such an open language as English. Furthermore consider how much English has changed since 1611. Even before we got our current generation of translations the translators then knew there work would be built upon and they encouraged it. It's the telephone game we must overcome. Here's a quote from the letter located at the front of the King James Bible that was written to you from the translators:
Correction was expected.
Therefore blessed be they, and most honoured be their name, that break the ice, and giveth onset upon that which helpeth forward to the saving of souls.
That means we are all called to chip away and continue in the effort to revise and complete the work as it was destined. Even these guys were 1,600 some odd years after the fact (so to speak) and look how critical their work has been for us. Surely there is work expected of us in our time as well? The King James is not "the" definitive translation, but it was our "best" translation. It can only be adapted to our modern use of English if the translator takes all the languages and the context into a reconcilable consideration. Therefore the writers also state:
...if we building upon their foundation that went before us, and being holpen by their labours, do endeavor to make that better which they left so good; no man, we are sure, hath cause to mislike us; they, we persuade ourselves, if they were alive, would thank us.
This means that their effort was their leg of the race and they did the best they could with what they had. They were building, which is an ongoing process. Mistakes happen. Ask any real carpenter… It's how you fix it that counts and it's never broken until you can't fix it. Ask any writer, one more pass always leads to edits and you never stop editing until you stop taking passes.
Reproof breaks traditions.
Translation errors do occur. They are there in your Bible. They are not intentional even though are a couple that are quite suspect. A word like "rapture" only appears once in modern translations, and never appeared in any context in the original manuscripts. Even when words are translated right the world of interpretation is wide open. As a result of one poorly interpreted word we had a radical movement in the 1800's that turned a colloquialism into one of the single most dangerous doctrines today. Would you say it makes sense to ask someone if they can see that cloud of locusts? A cloud of them can mean something in the sky but it can also mean something in mass. Something thick enough you can't see through it. When they were being told they would all gather in mass the word cloud was interpreted air. When their church added gathering in the air to their mistranslation of rapture you get a pillar of deceit that is currently taking the country by storm. I call it the "fly away" doctrine, or "any moment" doctrine. It's fraudulent and several warnings are written. In fact it will be one the foremost topics we are confronted by Satan with when he appears. Do we sit by and accept today's theology as without possibility of misinterpretation in spite of the evidence? The baton is in our hands. The baton is in your hands.
Get a Companion Bible.
One of the best tools I know of today that takes the King James Version and addresses the language and context issues is The Companion Bible. It was originally published in Great Britain before it was made available in the United States. After being dropped from print the Shepherd's Chapel ran their own printings (so always go there to get one, this is not a plug… it's an obligation in gratitude). The Companion Bible goes to great lengths to examine the elements that today's mainstream churches divide doctrine over. It has an outline for each book and the side column clarifies and points to supporting documentation. This is a hot book. You want a copy.
Get a Strong's Concordance.
However, because it is just a translation and I don't speak Hebrew or Greek, I use the Strong's Exhaustive Concordance to double-check as needed if the writings have been accurately translated and understood. This makes any child a warrior for truth. It does not change anything that is written, indeed it reinforces that which was written and brings it back to original meaning. The Main Concordance provides an alphabetical listing of every word and where it appears in the King James Version. Each occurrence is assigned a number that corresponds to a dictionary of root words. With this it is possible to cross-reference between Old and New, between Hebrew and Greek, between different roots and contexts. Armed with this you can pick the key points and references people claim as a pillars in their doctrine and examine the reality. The Word must be consistent because the Word is consistent. That means if your reconciliation does not settle with your doctrine it is the doctrine that you must address. Many denominations stand proud on a word or phrase that meant something completely different in every other occasion, or on an added word that was never even there. The Strong's Exhaustive Concordance is a critical tool to empowering individuals to swim unattended.
Focus on "your" effort.
It is my intent to keep scripture to a minimum here because I am trying to focus on the big picture. Getting into scripture can be meaty to new people. An onslaught to prove a point can be choking to a person that isn't ready. Mostly because until the context clicks there is simply too much information spread across the Bible that enables anyone to put together almost any story to fit their need. You can call it a denomination because that is how they separate themselves. That doesn't mean we can't start with a few concepts and document them. This is a great way to start learning how scripture gives us insight and unlocks the truths that expose. Then when you hear a teaching or practice that contradicts the concepts you have become familiar with you can stand your ground and know why. If you learn a truth that does not fit within your church doctrine deal with it. Even if it pulls you out of your church you don't have to find your friends and family guilty of anything other than trying to find God if they are believers. I'm telling you that "nobody" close to me has perked their ears to these truths and I've been spreading seeds for a very long time. Many will sprout later I'm sure, but I'm so long gone out of their picture by then I won't even see it. As for the reader though, it was "you" that came this far. You are walking the walk. They are walking theirs. If they see your path is straight they might follow. Don't expect or count on it though. Hey, that's not your part of the battle. That's their game and their position. Let them play.
Don't take it personal.
If you want to simply turn your back and walk from those that don't get it that's okay. That's kind of like dusting your feet and leaving with the knowledge you won't be back. I have done that more than once and expect to do so again. One door closes and another is opened. But what if you were the seed that was planted there? Maybe you are running from your first post? Maybe our posts are temporary so we can establish another? Maybe I unknowingly bailed out early a time or two? Then again my friend, maybe everything went just as it was supposed to. Maybe some I encountered are not supposed to be there in the long run and our time together was the documentation to prove it. There are souls I could only pray our Father was leveraging under the rules of the elect because their actions were (and are) contrary to anything I want to be associated with. I'm not being judgmental towards these at all. A red light is a red light. I'm being responsible and demonstrating the same maturity in the Word that was emphasized to Job concerning his "advisors". I'm just playing my position. Our decisions are an individual choice each and every time. Those that stand firm against me are about to feel His cup of wrath that was set aside for this time. Those that could care less have decided not to reconcile. Those that do care should verify what I say before they accept it because I am only doing the best I can. Then check the homework of those around you walking a different path and you will quickly see why this is gold. This empowers you to conducting yourself to the point where you can release your soul from the obligations and bondage these non-fitting theories try to sell. That's real gold exposing fool's gold. Have you even looked at what's in your bag?
Ready to dig?
Finally we all need teachers. Though it is great for teachers to have their own angle or style… some of the churches that actually teach chapter and verse still read the lyrics without a tune. In fact we don't have to go very far to expose our first controversy. It is in the very first two verses in the Bible. From right here we encounter a major fracture between the denominations. We identify the first concept that other two major religions can't support under their doctrine and that divides Christian churches. In other words… in the first two verses God cuts to the chase and takes care of business. Right out the gate we can leverage a truth to exposes the fraudulence of others.
Reconciliation stands on the technical detail.
Start at the beginning.
One example will give a taste of what can be learned when combining the Companion Bible (King James Version), a Strong's Concordance (Strong's for the strong), a good teacher (like the one who taught me), and a hearty appetite (mine). Let's do a little homework. We'll use the first book in the Bible, Genesis. It starts by describing the creation recorded in six one-day periods. Those days are symbolic of 1,000 years each because II Peter, chapter 3 tells us one day with the Lord is as 1,000 years with man. That is how many Christians arrive at a 6,000-year age for our earth. Even though the one-day per 1,000-year concept is accurate it is not being used in a complete formula. The first thing missing is the starting point. You won't find one listed.
Genesis 1:1
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
We go by a numerical sequence to account for time. I was born in 1963 (My soul came to this flesh body in mid 1962 because the soul enters the body at conception. Your proof is that Christmas was when Christ was conceived.) Genesis doesn't open with "in year 0". In fact for time before Christ we count backwards so wouldn't it need to read "In 6,000 B.C. God created the heaven and the earth"? The book opens letting us know there was a beginning but it puts no date on it. We dig for that throughout the word. Clearly we have proof this earth is millions of years old. Everyone who drives a car leverages that fact. What are 6,000 puny years? Do you believe people actually attend, believe and tithe these doctrines? Let's take this a little closer to home. What if we knock out one these fakes within the first two verses of the Bible and it is revealed as a path you are on? Can you question what you are cultivating? Can you justify your foundation? Let me show you some of mine in just two verses. The way the first two verses read in English gives the concept as though God created the earth "void and without form."
Genesis 1:1
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Genesis 1: 2
And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
Break it down.
First, do you know why at the end of verse one there is a period after earth and not a comma? The next word is "and", which is normally a conjunction. Plus it is given a capital letter. The reason seems small but it is real none the less. The word "And" is a polysyndeton. It means that the separate verses have much more implied than what is written. The way it is used gives added depth to how they are bound together but still gives each individual status. Unfortunately for those who think God created the earth "void and without form" end up missing an important concept. Second, they are following a poor translation that needs to be reconciled. The truth hinges on the word "was." Look at the fourth word of the second verse. In the original language it was taken from it happens to be the second written word. This happens a lot in the Bible. Words often have to be added to move a concept into our grammar. In this case we went from two to four words. Unfortunately there is risk with this technique. As an example I remember my first technology job (1988) where I was bringing native Japanese computer games to the American market. I argued fiercely with our American translator over the use of a word on the back of the box. He said the Kanji was best translated as "chasm" and I thought that word was out of context for the audience we were targeting. Having lived in Japan for five years I was pretty confident in my supposition. This guy was no joke either. His Japanese was awesome and he could play the Shakuhachi… I just talk, right? We were both right. If we have the tools and capability to get it right and keep it original we should. I accept that. However it was also true that there were many words that could have been used to better help the audience of a different culture get the point or develop an interest, and it is possible to do so without compromising the original meaning. I was arguing over a game mind you. Had this documentation been critical to keeping the written truth I would have been without justification and to that degree if we can reproof a critical sentence to get a clearer picture then we should. Translation is an accurate yet artful discipline.
Hava is became.
In the second verse the Hebrew word "havah" is the original that got translated to the English "was." In the Hebrew and Chaldee Dictionary of the Strong's Concordance, #1934 states:
havah Corresp. to 1933, to exist; used in a great variety of applications (especially in connection with other words):-be, become, behold, came (to pass), cease, cleave, consider, do, give, have, judge, keep, labour, mingle (self), put, see, seek, set, slay, take heed, tremble, walk, would.
A few details of this definition I want to call to your attention are "become", "came (to pass)", and "would". The key to get from this word "havah" is that it does not represent an original condition. If it came to pass then there had to be a pre-existing condition. Havah represents the results of an action. Something had to have happened for the word havah to be written. We're talking about something happening between verse one and two. The earth was created and then something made it become in the "without form and void" condition. Some might call it the day our planet was still one continent and took a shot from space setting the plates in motion and ending life on the planet and ultimately giving birth to our fossil fuels. If you consider the description of the six days of creation as taking place after the earth was hit you can easily follow along as it describes the time it took to get it back up and running for this second earth age. Take a quick look at the beginning of:
See how it flows with the traditional six days of creation placed in context. This concept has huge ramifications that go way beyond how old the earth is though. That was just the doormat. If you consider that the earth became a wasteland then it is easier to work with the details of God taking action when Satan tried to deceive 1/3 of the souls. So lets read the corrected Genesis 1: 2 and see what unfolds.
Genesis 1: 2
And the earth became without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
Tohu va bohu is without form.
Whether or not the earth "was" or "became" in this current state could be cited as an incidental mistake that does not impact the real meaning of the word. It's only two sentences out of how many? That it might be arguable on its own but because havah is used in conjunction with the phrase tohu va bohu (translated as without form) it dramatically impacts the meaning. What does it mean? Let's go to the Strong's and get some details. In the Hebrew and Chaldee Dictionary, #8414 states:
tohuw, to'-hoo; from an unused root mean. To lie waste; a desolation (of surface), i.e. desert; fig. A worthless thing; adv. In vain:-confusion, empty place, without form, nothing, (thing of) nought, vain, vanity, waste, wilderness.
Discern the difference.
So the English version in most Christian homes is teaching as if the earth already existed in a state of "without form and void" when creation begins. A solid answer if we agreed the earth was created tohu va bohu from the beginning. But it wasn't. As I mentioned earlier the Bible is a tightly interwoven fabric. There are elements of support and cross-reference throughout. So I'm going to call out something that contradicts the concept of the earth being created void and without form. After all this is what is commonly taught. Documentation is found in the book of Isaiah chapter 45 in the 18th verse.
Isaiah 45: 18
For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else.
Apply the results.
That's just the cake! The icing is that the Hebrew word "vain" as used in the text of Isaiah is the same "tohu" as in Genesis 1: 2. The incorrect translation lets the reader slip past what is said. God himself said he did not create it "tohu". Then what happened? There are no verses that support the earth was created void and with form whereas there are many versus that jump to life if the original words for "havah" and "tohu va bohu" are respected. This one key opens parables and symbolism that men wrestled with for thousands of years, that today's scholars argue over, and today's nations war over. It is also a critical key to unlocking the chains today's people willingly bind themselves with. Grab it. The earth was not created void and without form because it was created to be inhabited and it was inhabited.
Put it in context.
If the earth became void when God's reset the table for our time doesn't that raise some questions about how it became void and without form? Why did this happen? The earth "became void and without form" at Satan's attempted overthrow. It was the act God used to end Satan's effort. At that time Satan organized and recruited a full third of the souls and they began to follow him. What's so hard to grasp? If you want a hint look around you. If you want a bigger hint look in the mirror. When it clicks you will understand why I emphasized the first two verses of the Bible. If your church got this wrong out the gate how do you know they understand what else is written? Your teacher may bear additional consequences for misleading you but nobody bears responsibility for another's continued and practiced ignorance or personal position. Does your church use the New Testament only? Is it newer and updated with modern English to help the reader? To get the correct context the first building block is the fact our flesh body and spiritual body are separate. People are born and people die everyday and nobody has stopped getting older during our aging process yet. The second building block to our context is the fact that the soul was created to be eternal. Eternal does include before you were born to your mother here. The first two blocks tell us the eternal body that houses your soul is your spiritual body and the flesh houses your soul while you are here. The third building block is that it is appointed for us to live and die once in the flesh in order to participate in the plan of salvation. When people die they instantly return to heaven and are in back in their spiritual body. So with those three building blocks lets read John 3: 13:
John 3: 13
And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.
Except for even?
It means unless a person came from heaven first they can't go to heaven later and that "even" Christ himself did this. Unfortunately some Bible translations report:
John 3: 13
And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, "except" the Son of man which is in heaven.
There is a difference. That little Kennite style switch may seem irrelevant because on the surface both statements work in harmony with Genesis 1: 2 (Christ was in heaven before he came here and he is in heaven now), but the difference between "even" and "except" you will find is very important:
The use of "even" is inclusive and stipulates that we were there with Him before and after this life. There is the key. That means before we were born here we were with Him there and will return there when we pass from here! It is what He said. It is very consistent with the concepts behind the parables, prophets, and even the laws. This is a unifier, not a divider.
The use of "except" implies that ONLY Christ was in heaven, came and returned. The incorrect translation gives room to suggest we came down from heaven which would still demand we were their prior unless they take the position "instantly created from heaven"? The worse part is it concludes by saying ONLY Christ is in heaven now. What then is the parable of Lazareth and the rich man? Didn't this event take place in heaven? How about the descriptions of heaven in Revelation and the volumes of people there? Who did Christ preach to when he was in the tomb? Want some more? Forget it. Except doesn't reconcile and it cloaks core concepts.
To be born innocent through woman?
Just like Jesus your physical body is the vassal to your spiritual body for the duration of your stay and at death only the flesh goes back to the very same dust it came from. It's a carcass recycled through earth's natural rotation. That is the nature and purpose of this portion of the game. Don't let the distraction of today's reality be the stumbling block that stops you from seeing yesterday and how we got here this time. God destroyed that first age as a result of a real attempted coup. It wasn't some made up thing or drama on acted out on film. It was very real. God then brought this second age into existence because he wouldn't kill the third of his children who were deceived. Surely, every parent can feel his predicament. Could you kill your own child if you knew an older sibling tricked them? What if it was some honored tradition handed down through the generations? Would that be ignorant passion or blatant disregard? Hmmm. By being born we enter without knowledge of the previous events. By coming through our heritage we maintain our family ties. I'm not talking about reincarnation. That is not real and has no substance. We are incarnate to participate in this life once. Otherwise who did Jesus Christ come back as and where is that soul now? Is he a cow somewhere? Did He graduate to a rock? How could he come back later as Christ again? How could a reincarnation meet their other selves in the afterlife? If your father was someone else then you were someone else and we are on this never ending war between what? Other selves? Bad math. It just doesn't make sense. It corrupts truth.
Or to be fallen?
There is another side to every rule. I mean why would this rule even be necessary if all souls that came here were born? I hope you ask that one. The book of Jude is a one-chapter book tucked in just before Revelation. It describes those who opted "not to be born" and came directly. Ezekiel told us transportation exists. Call it a UFO if you want. They were cheating to get around the plan of salvation. Guess what? Those cheaters came and returned in a spiritual body, which is ageless so it means they are not limited to just one segment of our time. They were the same beings that were here during Noah's time and that is why there was a flood of such a magnitude. Could they be why man has seen so-called UFO's throughout history? Could this then answer why UFO's are always seen local but never in route? Who's coming? From where are they coming? To where are they returning? How long has this been going on?
The point is to question.
By uncovering issues like these that impact the doctrine of other churches teaching Christ and by questioning a few of your understandings does it mean I'm hurting a church that badly needs a unified front? You could say that. But we have reached a time where it is imperative to separate the sheep from the goats. No pain no gain. Prune the vine! We need literate warriors armed with the playbook of reality. Not some ideological fantasy. Salvation is the sweet milk of Christianity but we are expected to discipline and mature by feeding on the meat within the core concepts. Most of today's so-called soldiers for God don't even know the difference between "come here" and "sick'em." Again for emphasis, the fundamental differences between "even" and "except" can't be completely reconciled if the correct knowledge of Genesis1: 2 isn't understood. These are perfect examples of the need for accurate discernment in this day. What else is missed? How can we even hope for reconciliation? Is this level of technicality really that important to someone who is a believer? Yes! There is proportionate relevance to WHAT is believed. Just because believing in Jesus is enough to get into heaven does that mean regardless of what you believe about Jesus will get you into heaven? No! He warned you not to be deceived by doctrine. It will be Bibles and the differences within the written word that will be the vehicle used to deceive people. That makes it critical to do some homework. Not to discern the differences that impact you will make your difference. It's a trial. It's our test in our time. It is these differences that will manifest the climax of mankind in this dispensation. Have ye not read? Have ye not heard? Do ye not see?
Get technical.
The technicalities revealed by reconciliation unlock the mysteries within that expose the timing and events of our day. If we are part of the Bible we of today have to be included as well, right? I mean with half the total population of souls living on earth today, don't you think it would be important for the Bible to contain a ton of information pertaining to our time? Don't we have an obligation to our heritage? Let's take it from another angle. If we are eternal and the word is eternal, then no matter what you think about it now it won't change. Any time you spend now getting it straight is an investment in something you are going to know anyway. The difference is by choosing now you are showing yourself desirable to the Lord. Only careful examination of how these technicalities affect, support, and cross-reference each other can reveal a unified truth. That is why today's church leaders cannot accurately teach anything deeper than salvation? They are conceptually limited to salvation and historical activity. Without the technicality we exposed here the concept of time, purpose and reality are all hidden.
Reconcile.
The level of study I aspire towards is never ending, and to really pursue earnestly requires a substantial amount of time and effort. That's why we had scribes. That's why I try to scribe. That's why I share my investment. That's why the 2nd grade sticks to the critical concepts you will need to survive. The difference between starting void or becoming void will be proven to be one of the most critical instances in the Bible as it separates the founding concepts between all three of these major religions, addresses the denominations, and points to the definition of time unmatched by any other concept put forth by man to date. Believing in Christ might get you into the Lord's Day but there is no need to go through it with your head on the chopping block… simply wake up and arm yourself today. The difference is your status and the measurement can be found in reconciliation.
