TIME & LOGIC

Posted by J.Luxum at 9:18 AM

Most people do not think logically and sequentially; hence the term Sequential Logic. Something that happened before the sequence of events is not always true to one, while it is true to another. One mind studies a story, which contains a complete chain of events; while another is in the story. Unlike the reader those in the story deal only with the individual timeframes. Their experiences are solely theirs, we the observers and readers, can only glean some information from their actual experiences and interpret them. Those that were supernaturally healed of cancer, for example, know how they felt when they were sick and how they felt when God's force of life entered his or her body. Whether one believes in divine healing today, or not, is completely irrelevant in this case. Personal experiences of other people have to be taken at their face value and never (subjectively) interpreted. Rejoice with those who rejoice, dance with those that dance and mourn with those who mourn, that's the attitude, not dogmatic or contentious, philosophical or theological.

[Matthew 11:16-19] “But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the market places, who call out to the other children, 17and say, ‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.’ 18“For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon!’ 19“The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Behold, a gluttonous man and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ Yet wisdom is vindicated by her deeds.”

In the case of Adam and Eve the same applies. Each timeframe was an event, which they had dealt with, and at that time they were blind to any later subsequent events. Based on this logic one cannot conclude something to be completely true because one interprets these events subjectively within one's own timeframe. Try to explain something to someone about electricity and computers who is scribbling words with ink and feather pen; on a parchment using candle for light. Those two timeframes do not fit and therefore these two individuals are in two different worlds. 

For example: before Eve could even reach for the tree's fruit she had to have a desire, which was not present in her until Nechash created it in her. Adam did not eat the fruit immediately after it was picked off the tree; there was some time between the fruit in Eve's hand and then in Adam's mouth. 

Points if interest

  • Man was to rule and subdue the earth. Lost Garden of Eden was not lost.
  • There was no desire for neither tree. The "Yes" and "No" was not felt yet.
  • Choices are only possible within a realm of opposites.  

1. Nechash was only sent to create a desire for one tree, Etz Da'at. (Knowledge Tree).

2. Through Etz Da'at comes the distinction and choice.

3. Before Nechash and Etz Da'at there was only bliss (for our mind today, which for Adam and Eve was neither good or bad, nice, pleasant or unpleasant) because of the above points 1 and 2. 

4. After the fruit was eaten their eyes were THEN opened, which means that their eyes were closed before (Hebraic thinking of the opposites, non-Hebrew people avoid negatives; being quite hesitant to deal with it. The Hebrew people use RATZON the rational mind, which is quite different from the soul's emotional sphere, which uses minus and plus opposites. Either, the soul sends signals to the mind or the mind first sends signals to the soul as to how it should feel.

To not see means to not understand or grasp, and if so then no choice will follow. So they understood, and only with this ability of cognizance, or understanding, they could choose. 

5. Genesis 3 paints a picture of consequences and portrays good and bed emotions; having an unpleasant feeling makes one choose something more pleasant. That's just the basics. Obedience and disobedience and their consequences are being experienced, which is the actual eye-opening, seeing and grasping. They saw this cattle (creature Nechash) becoming a symbol of ARROR (Hebrew bitterness), curse, but also a symbol of healing, depending on how one perceives it and uses his or her mind.

The turning flaming swords outside the Garden of Eden had something to do with the two-edged sword mentioned in the Book of Hebrews 4:12, which pierces and separates the spiritual things from carnal or even soul's things. This sword is the Sword of Truth (Ephesians 6) minus and plus, darkness and light, curse or blessing, death or life...   

Moses lifted up the serpent and Jesus compared Himself to the lifted-up serpent. Just as people were healed of the snake venoms; people are also healed when they look upon Jesus. 

6. The driving out of Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden was not permanent, but it was in God's plan, for He told them to replenish the earth (with their kind), and to rule over the entire planet. They - being the (new) seed of God (in the midst of something old) or having the extra-dimensional life properties - had to deal with opposites; hence, morality, wrongs and rights. Later, Cain chose to be the tare having God's life in him. Also the good seed which manifested itself in Enoch, Seth, Enosh, Noah, Abraham … Jesus (the source) also manifests itself today in us. Thus Enoch returned to Paradise without tasting death; most likely Apostle John also.

Only the seed and the tares possess life, but not the field. The field is actually dead; hence very much neutral. A tare produced bad fruits and the good seed is being harvested and stored in a barn; used for food, wealth and for another sowing and harvest. 

(A) Scripture: [Matthew 7:16-20] “You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles, are they? 17“So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit. 18“A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce good fruit. 19“Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20“So then, you will know them by their fruits.
(B) Scripture: [Matthew 13:30] ‘Allow both to grow together until the harvest; and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather up the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them up; but gather the wheat into my barn."'
(C) Scripture: [Verse 38] the field is the world; and as for the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom; and the tares are the evil sons.

7. Today, through "Tov" (good) and "Rah" (Bad or evil) (TORAH) we learn how to handle good and bad and then choose; blessings or curses, life or death, (Deuteronomy 30:19).

8. We have a new start in our personal life with Jesus, who paid the price for this knowledge to blossom like a flower and He further educates us through the Holy Spirit today. He introduces us to the Etz Hei'em (Tree of Life), which He Himself is,
“Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps My word he will never see death” (John 8:51).

FOR OR AGAINST

Posted by J.Luxum at 2:30 PM
Your throne or a comfy chair
In reference to Luxum Books post
My wife and I do not understand why people take a stand (usually) against someone and even dare to label someone without any facts check. It is beyond our comprehension to see this daring accusatory way of some against brothers and sisters in Christ. "He is a wolf in sheep's clothing, he is a false prophet/teacher" even worse, perhaps "a devil or Antichrist" on and on... 

Amalek had no fear of God. David understood this principle of not touching God's anointed and Apostle Paul also (Romans 13:1). An anointed government does not mean a holy or righteous authority. Anointing is an appointment, it does not come and go. People anoint a president a prime minister. In Poland, which historically is known to be the earliest democracy in the world, appointed kings through a democratic process of election; hence, kings were voted into their office by Vox Populi, a Latin phrase that literally means voice of the people. However, God's kingdom has nothing to do with democracy for the Almighty is the all sovereign one and He cannot be voted in by Vox Populi. Hence, any other God but YHVH the Almighty God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel is only a theological god. Pagans chose their gods out of a vast arsenal of pics: a god of water, sun, earth, wind etc, deities like fertility queens had something to do with sexual reproduction. Earth had something to do with harvests and calm seas with the appeasement of a god. In the midst of this, an astronomer by the name Abram had noticed that the heavenly constellations move in a rhythmic way. Changes of seasons occur quite regularly. Abram discovered universal harmony and order, but then he stumbled upon a disturbance. Leap year and leap months have something to do with the number seven. Abram went on to study the intervals and was desirous to know the author of those unusual and irregular movements. That's when the Almighty God spoke to him. 

From Abraham, and his descendants, comes the knowledge of rest and peace. Relax, take a seat and watch Me - the Lord is teaching us. 

Shev in Hebrew means to sit and repose. Shevah means seven. Shabbat or the Sabbath the seventh day of the weak is a day of peace and rest. 

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God (Matthew 5:9).

Why peacemakers are blessed, and why are they called sons of God? Are all others, those non-peacemakers are not sons of God? - This sort of thinking also comes from Abraham, who lived before Moses who told us about the Tree of Knowledge of plus & minus, something positive and something negative, but that it is only a knowledge. The tree was not half good or half evil but rather that it contained knowledge of the opposites. That's the reason why every time there is a positive statement an opposite statement must emphasize the actual truth found in between those two statements; and then comes the choice. If that was not so then God would not say so in Deuteronomy 30:19,

... I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. So choose life in order that you may live ...

This choice was offered to Adam and Eve, but only after they had received the cognizance (knowledge) from the tree; they also received the grasp with which they were able to choose. I used the word GRASP advisedly because in order to understand something there must be the ability to grasp and fasten. God gave Eve (first) the desire, which was not present before and then the imagination with which she approached Adam. Then their imagination got turned on and they were able to grasp, know and then choose - understand - know - become wise. 

 Restless people are warlike people. God never intended for Israel to exterminate all the nations inhabiting Canaan. He told them plainly (Deuteronomy 18:9-14) that on account of their occult practices and sexual perversions, bestiality and even sacrifices of children to idols like Moloch, they had to be eliminated. God is not human - speaking in humanistic terms - He is God. Period. He is holy. He is super righteous. He is super pure. The purest love, joy, peace and the purest graciousness. His perfect love, however, casts out all fear. Where does that fear go? - On his enemies those of the opposite kind; while the peacemakers are called His children.

Since the invention of evil as coming down to earth from heaven, 'the fall of Lucifer and his cohorts of evil angels' etc, people started to turn their own evils on Satan, the devil, Beelzebub, Belial, etc. Why? - Perhaps because they hated to be seen as evil themselves; and then they would have to repent and practice righteousness.

Pagans always believed that they must please their gods, so they kept on sacrificing and practicing elaborate religious ceremonies, which God never wanted, nor were they ever in His perfect plan for us. Religion is not His will for us. Nonetheless, because all pagan nations kept doing it, He only permitted it. First He let Abel and Cain offer sacrifices. Then to Abraham, with whom the break came when he was about to offer Isaac on Mt Moriah.

When Israel left Egypt a lamb was sacrificed and its blood smeared on the doors, but that was to be the last sacrifice. Nonetheless, people wanted to do whatever they wished, wrong, evil, disrespecting others, etc. One word sums it up, selfishness. Because of this God permitted sacrifices, but with them also came the education of pure and impure, holy, profane, righteous and unrighteous. Jesus summed it all up in one statement. 

In everything, therefore, treat people the same way you want them to treat you, for this is the Law and the Prophets (Matthew 7:12).    

The law came first and then come the prophets then the Gospels and the apostolic letters, etc, this arsenal of writings point only in one direction: Treat others as you want to be treated in return. You want to be loved? - Then show love to others. You want to have peace, even the healing peace of God? - Well, start practicing peace each seventh day and then make peace each day. Be a peacemaker. So simple and yet so difficult.

Now, where does these evil traits come from. We know that Cain was restless and from him come the Kenites who have become super organizers and great gatherers of wealth; for Tubal-Cain was the forger of metals, which included gold and silver. Cain put a price on these shiny commodities and ever since then gold trading kept increasing value to. Because of gold people started wars. Because of riches other lands were subjugated and pillaged, not to mention murders and rapes and oppressions of most grotesque proportions. The simple equation of all evil and unrighteousness on the face of the earth is WAR.

In the midst of warlike ways Enoch returned to God and walked with Him most of His life. God loved His peacemaker so much that He did not allow Enoch to see death. 

Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps My word he will never see death (John 8:51).  

Why is it so difficult to accept it and truly believe it the way Jesus actually said it? "Truly Truly, verily, verily" means more than a fact, it's a confirmed truth; the absolute and unchanging truth. 

There is something about that chair picture (above). It's a holy chair and it is my also. I decided to rest in it and meditate on God's peace and then sink ever deeper into it.

Between the 'for' and 'against' is the innocent state of neutrality. Why innocent? - Adam and Eve were innocent until they were endowed with the power of choice, but chose wrong. But, I speak bout the their choice already outside the Garden of Eden. Sure, the Seraphim stood like flaming swords turning in every direction, and we can make a mystique religion out of it, but the return was not to be a stealth sneaking into the Garden. "I don't know" is better than the proud "I know." "I study, I learn" and do not accuse, I do not fear, I observe... I rest in the Lord." Why do I have to start with prejudice first, and then make the suspect prove to me that my prejudice was groundless. Why wasting precious energy, weary the body and squander time, which is impossible to redeem. That's wicked and highly disrespectful to God and to those He had sent our way. That's the pride we have pinned on Lucifer while we carry it ourselves. The Pharisees did that to Jesus. 

“Do we not say rightly that You are a Samaritan and have a demon?” Jesus answered, “I do not have a demon; but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me. But I do not seek My glory; there is One who seeks and judges" (John 8:48-50). 

Even here Jesus does not accuse or judge, for if He did He would've been like His accusers. He left all judgment to the Father.

Now, was it nice jumping on Jesus and treading that dangerous ground which is the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit? A sin which is not forgiven now nor in the age to come. Coming from the premise of testing the spirits because even Satan disguises Himself as an angel of light is taken out of context just to suit ones own prejudices and even maliciousness. 

The choice to return to Eden is yours and the way is already paved. Have a wider view; the broad angle view; see it from His point of view. Innocence returns but this time only after the right choice. The peace choice. Not the sweat of the brow and the toil of the ground, material possessions and their control.

By setting yourself against someone you make yourself into a judge, yet Jesus told us to not judge, for in the same way we judge others we shall be judged. If the Son of God did not judge His accusers, but left it all up to the Father; shouldn't you too learn from Him; take up His yoke, or yoke yourself with Him. Learn from Him humility and gentleness which is deep within His heart; let it also be found in your heart and there will be hope for you. Otherwise you will only try to avoid hell by making to heaven by the skin of your teeth and nothing more. Self definitions and accusations only kill.   

For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, “Abba! Father!” (Romans 8:14-15) 

So, where is the leading of the Spirit, which makes one into a son and daughter of the Most High? Rather fear and prejudice, doctrine against doctrine, warlike religious ways dictate people's approach to the things of God. Yet, God chooses vessels, even human vessels, but if He runs out of those; then He will use again a donkey to speak through; or stone to praise Him. But woe to us then.

Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which on the outside appear beautiful, but inside they are full of dead men’s bones and all uncleanness. So you, too, outwardly appear righteous to men, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness (Matthew 23:27-28). 

The Law came first and then came grace. Why? By the Law we are guilty, but by grace we receive God's favor in order to become His overcomers the peacemakers even the Helper - PARAKLETOS - called alongside to help, comfort and aid you in overcoming any obstacle in life - the Holy Spirit. For such this earth longs; and can't wait for their appearance. Are you one of them? 

For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God (Romans 8:19).

THE STAR OF DAVID

Posted by J.Luxum at 10:10 AM

Conflict inside
 God longs to fellowship with us; therefore, when the Holy Spirit comes, He surrounds Himself with six ministering spirits (angels). In Isaiah 11:2 they are called the seven spirits of the LORD: 1. The Spirit of the LORD will rest on Him. 2. The spirit of wisdom. 3. The spirit of understanding. 4. The spirit of counsel. 5. The spirit of strength. 6. The spirit of knowledge. 7. The spirit of the fear of the LORD.

The six-pointed Star of David (Hebrew: Mogen David) is both a shield and a weapon.

[Luke 12:10] Everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him.

Obviously the Holy Spirit must be within that weapon-shield, or someone may die without ever having a chance to repent. God is super sensitive. His sensitivity is beyond human grasp. Holy Spirit is the Life of God and anything aimed at this super sensitive Spirit of Life must be eradicated first at the remotest gate. Now, picture the temple mount with the outer walls, inner walls and the Holy of Holies. Now, picture Jesus in His zeal in the temple (John 2:17) overthrowing the merchants’ tables as they were coming too close to the Inner Court and the Holy of Holies.
The Hebrew word racham means compassion, and the Hebrew word rechem means womb.  Imagine now a microscopic picture of the living fetus; what you will see is many protective walls around the embryo. These protective walls reject repelling anything that might try to penetrate and perhaps injure the most delicate embryo. Now, imagine our compassionate God, and those He made to be like Himself. Jesus felt compassion and healed their sick (Matthew 14:14). 
Ananias and Sapphira were directly exposed to the Holy Spirit and died on the spot; they actually lied to the face (presence) of the Holy Spirit (Acts 5). The Holy Spirit is on this earth. He comes because of what you hear and read, but not directly as God’s Breath of Life. He comes in a company of (like bodyguards) Spirit-Guards.  
When the Holy Spirit comes He comes first with the fear of the LORD, because the fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom (Proverbs 9:10). Wisdom is preceded by two stages: understanding and knowledge. Understanding acquires, it absorbs knowledge; and then knowledge attains to wisdom, which manifests itself in wise actions. Wisdom is the fruit of the understood knowledge - its fruit is a wise behavior. Therefore, the fear of the LORD is just the beginning. Solomon claimed to have wisdom, but his actions were not necessarily wise. The same goes for all of us. We understand, and know, but how much? We act according to what we have absorbed and know. Thus, we must keep quiet in some situations, and speak up in another. The discipline of our tongue is the training session number one. 
After wisdom comes strength, and after strength comes counsel. How can a fool counsel anyone? Strength is what everyone needs in this life.

[Proverbs 10:23] Doing wickedness is like sport to a fool, and so is wisdom to a man of understanding.
This picture shows the company of the Holy Spirit. Going clockwise: F stands for the fear of God; U stands for understanding, K stands for knowledge; W for wisdom; S for strength, and C for counsel. In the middle of these six spirits is the Holy Spirit. 12 o’clock - Fear of the LORD releases (2 o’clock) understanding, which absorbs (4 o’clock) knowledge. Knowledge conditions behavior, which includes thinking, and the management of feelings, also words, envisioning, planning and doing; hence (6 o’clock) - wisdom. After wisdom is established, more wisdom comes in, for as it is with fear and anger, both feed on themselves; wisdom also feeds on itself in the positive sense. “The one who has shall have more” (Luke 19:26). Wise behavior produces (8 o’clock) strength; even unnatural strength of mind, resolve, and determination when confronted with an obstacle. Only the strong can give (10 o’clock) counsel; for any counsel of the weak produces the same in others. If a fool teaches others, he only makes more fools, but a strong person can strengthen those that are weak, etc.
This wonderful turning glorious shield of power comes to plow the soil, like a spinning auger, being readied for the sowing of God’s eternal seed. If you prepare Him a room the Holy Spirit will come, and do exactly that which Jesus promised us, teach, remind, guide and comfort us.
The seal of the Holy Spirit also means shield of the Holy Spirit. The Greek root word is sphragis, speaks of fencing in, protection - derived from the root word sphragizo, meaning to stamp, as with a signet or a private mark for security or preservation.
Obviously, those two Greek words, depicting the Seal of Truth, also depict the shield, mogen. No matter what the language, or culture, God’s truth is never lost. 

God did not uproot the Tree of Life and burned it. He only guards it for the select few. He knew that the peacemakers will one day return to Him and will be invited to eat of this glorious immortality tree.

The guardian angels serve the redeemed of the Lord today. The expelling of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden was not permanent.

[Genesis 3:24] So He drove the man out, and at the east of the Garden of Eden He stationed the cherubim and the flaming sword, which turned every direction to guard the way to the tree of life.

 Those who are sealed with the Holy Spirit are also sealed with the seven spirits. Spirit-Guards are the guardian angels assigned to us after our fellowship with the Holy Spirit and they are innumerable, myriads; more than enough for the entire world.

[Psalm 91:11] He will give His angels charge concerning you, to guard you in all your ways.
