BROAD ANGLE

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. 

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. 

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. 

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.   

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.

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?
