About 1980 I was homeless and living on the hogback just west of Golden,
Colorado. One day I looked at Mount Zion where the students of Colorado School
of Mines have a big whitewashed letter "M". There was a spirit sitting on a
throne made out of Mount Zion - in other words, he could have been 1000 feet
high. His name was Abraham and he had been there for many centuries. I talked to
him a little, but after his first revelation he didn't talk much. Nor did he
appear to me more than about four times.
About 1967 I was renting a room at the house of John Cadieux in Shrewsbury, MA,
when I ran the one-man mass spectrometry lab at Worcester Foundation for
Experimental Biology. One weekend I was lying down for a nap when, all of a
sudden, except for my feet - which were firmly bound , the spirit to the
physical, I was a couple of feet above my body and looking down on myself. After
a while I began to get afraid that my physical body would not be able to
breathe, so after some panic I returned to my body. Talking about my feet, one
time I experienced myself talking from inside my feet as well as another time
when I talked from inside my knees. Then there were the times I was looking at
various people and their bodies became no longer physical but spiritual only ( a
peculiar black substance). This happened to sheriffs at the Denver jail. It also
happened to a nun at the Mother Cabrini Shrine in the foothills just southwest
of Golden, Colorado. Also at my last hospitalization at the North Pavillion -
for the mentally ill - of Colorado University Hospital, I experienced my body
being split in three parts - physical as well as spiritual for my upper body
down to just below my chest, spiritual but no physical whatsoever from just
below my chest to just above the hips, and physical as well as spiritual from
the hips down to my feet. This lasted a matter of at least ten minutes. Also -
as far as I know - I three times went for at least two weeks without breathing
while in that hospitalization.
So I want to argue for my maintaining my priapism (persistent erection of the
penis) if such happens to me. For the priapism might well lead to getting a
tripartite rod - a three-headed penis such that the husband can have sexual
intercourse with three wives at the same time - as happened to me spiritually
for about 3 minutes back in about 1995. I wasn't allowed to touch it even though
it looked very real and physical, and also it came to me from way up in the
heavens. So I might be able to also bless my fellow men/women with the
possibility of tripartite rods for all 490 men/stones in Jesus' sexual temple of
which Daniel spoke - even though it would mean polygamy. Also my wife and I might be able to help others to be able to get along without oxygen for
given amounts of time as well as helping others get all their water from their
food - both of which new functions would help NASA explore and colonize the
natural - i.e., the God-ordained - way. Also the Bible promises that in the
future men/women would get wings so we could fly on our own without rockets.
Back in about 1978 or so when Kitty and I were living in a mobile home in a
mobile home park on an extension of the hogback to the south of Golden,
Colorado, I had three visions: 1) a cave in a mountain of Colorado where were
stored the ark of the Covenant from the temple in Jerusalem as well as the
priestly garments - all of which fits so well with the Mormon testimony; 2) a
room in a castle - the part of the room that I could see was furnished only with
a wooden table and a wooden chair upholstered in red velvet: in a secret place
in this room were the records of the genealogies of the Quartons; 3) a
gently-sloping hill with arid fauna as well as a small bush/tree on one side of
the hill - this is the wilderness spoken of in Revelation 12:5-17 "And she gave
birth to a son, a male, who is to shepherd all the nations with an iron rod. And
her child was caught away to God and to his throne. And the woman fled into the
wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that they should feed her
there a thousand two hundred and sixty days... Now when the dragon saw that it
was hurled down to the earth, it persecuted the woman that gave birth to the
male child. But the two wings of the great eagle were given the woman, that she
might fly into the wilderness to her place; there is where she is fed for a time
and times and half a time away from the face of the serpent. And the serpent
disgorged water like a river from its mouth after the woman, to cause her to be
drowned by the river. But the earth came to the woman's help, and the earth
opened its mouth and swallowed up the river that the dragon disgorged from its
mouth. And the dragon grew wrathful at the woman, and went off to wage war with
the remaining ones of her seed, who observe the commandments of God and have the
work of bearing witness to Jesus."
Daniel 9:24-27 says, "There are seventy weeks that have been determined upon
your people and upon your holy city, in order to terminate the transgression,
and to finish off sin, and to make atonement for error, and to bring in
righteousness for times indefinite, and to imprint a seal upon vision and
prophet and to anoint the Holy of Holies. And you should know and have the
insight that from the going forth of the word to restore and to rebuild
Jerusalem until Messiah the Leader, there will be seven weeks, also sixty-two
weeks. She will return and be actually rebuilt, with a public square and moat,
but in the straits of the times. And after sixty-two weeks Messiah will be cut
off, with nothing for himself. And the city and the holy place the people of a
leader that is coming will bring to their ruin. And the end of it will be by the
flood. And until the end there will be war; what is decided upon is desolations.
And he must keep the covenant in force for the many for one week; and at the
half of the week he will cause sacrifice and gift offering to cease."
These verses are very hard to understand and, as Daniel says somewhere else, the
meaning of these prophecies will not be revealed until the end times. Further,
this prophecy is translated differently by about every different version of the
Bible - and I don't want to spend the time trying to sort this out. Whatever, it
seems fairly straight-forward about the following points: 1) Daniel 9:24 talks
about seventy weeks. As far as I know the original Hebrew says "seventy sevends"
instead of seventy weeks. 2) As Daniel 9:25 says, "from the going forth of the
word to restore and to rebuild Jerusalem until Messiah the Leader, there will be
seven weeks, also sixty-two weeks" This means either that the Messiah comes
twice - once after seven sevends - that is as the 50th stone/witness in the
sexual temple of God, starting with Zerubbabel and the end of the Babylonian
Captivity and continuing right up to Jesus' time which would mean that the
average time "in office" would be 550 years divided by 49 men/stones or about 11
years. Then this Messiah and/or His buddy, will be the glans of the penis after
sixty-two years more until the finish after the full 490 men/stones or about 4.5
years ( 440 men/stones divided into 2000)"in office" until the end; 2) there is
little doubt that the way modern evangelists do things of having the abomination
of desolation at the time of the sacrifice of the pig on the altar in the temple
in ..... time as the fulfillment of 69 "weeks" and then Jesus ministry as the
first half of the last "week" and the last "week" as the time of the Tribulation
at the end of times inserts a Gap in this sequence as they themselves admit.
Whereas, Daniel 2 talks about "world rule" and the world rulers as an image of
gold for the head - Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon - for the chest of silver - Darius
and/or Cyrus of the Medes and Persians, - hips and upper legs of bronze of the
Greeks under Alexander the Great and his four generals and their rule - and the
Roman Empire as iron extending right until now as a mixture of iron and clay.
Thus the 490 men/stones would also make most sense if it covered ALL the time
from Zerubbabel right up until now. As Zechariah 4: 6-10 says, "Accordingly he
answered and said to me: "This is the word of Jehovah to Zerubbabel, saying,
'"Not by a military force, not by power, but by my spirit," Jehovah of armies
has said. Who are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become a
level land. And he will certainly bring forth the headstone. There will be
shoutings to it: "How charming! How charming!"'" And the word of Jehovah
continued to occur to me, saying: "the very hands of Zerubbabel have laid the
foundations of this house, and his own hands will finsh it. And you will have to
know that Jehovah of armies himself has sent me to you people. For who has
despised the day of small things? And they will certainly rejoice and see that
plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel. ".
In other words, the small thing spoken of Zerubbabel by Zechariah could be the
something like what has happened to my hands. Thus Zerubbabel had the markings
in his hands which will also be found in the hands of the man/stone representing
the glans of the penis - or the headstone.
In Matthew 21:42-44 Jesus says, "Did you never read in the Scriptures, 'The
stone that the builders rejected is the one that has become the chief
cornerstone. From Jehovah this has come to be, and it is marvelous in our eyes'?
This is why I say to you, The kingdom of God will be taken from you and be given
to a nation producing its fruits. Also, the person falling upon this stone will
be shattered. As for anyone upon whom it falls, it will pulverize him"
We also need to refer you to one of the things Jesus said about Peter, namely
Matthew 16:18: "Also I say to you, you are Peter, and on this rock-mass I will
build my congregation, ad the gates of Hades will not overpower it." Thus Peter
would represent the foundation of Jesus' sexual temple, that is, the pelvic
girdle. In that role ALL the 490 men/stones would try to overtake Peter's role
so he would have to forgive ALL of them. Thus we have Matthew 18:21-22, Then
Peter came up and said to him: "Lord, how many times is my brother to sin
against me and am I to forgive him? Up to seven times?" Jesus said to him: "I
say to you, not Up to seven times , but, Up to seventy-seven times.' In other
words Peter has to forgive ALL 490 stones/men who will all be greedy for Peter's
job. I am quoting from the Jehovah Witness Bible. But practically all other
versions of which I am aware come right out with it in Matthew 18:21-22 and say,
"Seventy times seven". However, the reason why I use the Jehovah Witness Bible
here is because of the footnote for Matthew 18:21-22 Which says. "Seventy-seven
times" agrees with Genesis 4:24 as rendered by the Greek Septuagint Version. But
D definitely reads: "Seventy times seven." Genesis 4:23-24 says, "Consequently
Lamech composed these words for his wives Adah and Zillah: "Hear my voice, you
wives of Lamech; Give ear to my saying: A man I have killed for wounding me,
Yes, a young man for giving me a blow. If seven times Cain is to be avenged,
Then Lamech seventy times and seven." Thus even the Jehovah Witness Bible is
wrong in Genesis 4:24 by not having seventy times seven" but at least in its
footnote to Matthew 18:21-22 it indicates that the mystical number of seventy
times seven might be real. Whatever, ALL the versions of the Bible I have
available have Matthew 18:21-22 wrong. But, this is very important. For this
means that the number of stones/men in the sexual temple, i.e., 490, originates
way back before the Flood with the first recorded capital punishment.
So I wonder, did the fact that I experienced a tripartite rod ascending from
heaven onto me back in about 1995 for about a minute also soon - in the matter
of days - went to others .as well as getting more intimate with me. Could that
mean that all the other 490 men/stones also have a chance to get - at the most -
a tripartite rod too? And only Peter has the right to the rod(s) and staff(s) of
100 million and 10 million each? If Jesus is the cornerstone as well as the 50th
stone/man of the sexual temple of David that means that the dimensions of that
rod could well be 16 stones in diameter and 10 stones high. There are few
structures that use 490 stones in this way.
Finally I love the Jehovah Witness Bible for one reason, namely, that they have
Paul writing about at least ten times about the "sacred secret" which could be
made to fit Jesus'/David's/God' rod and staff. In at least one place where the
Jehovah Witness Bible uses the words "sacred secret" the NAS (New American
Standard ) translates the Greek as the "mystery of Christ".- Ephesians 1:9,
3:3-4, 3:9, 5:32, etc. Also, the Jehovah Witness Bible has the word Asherah for
the words "sacred poles" or "Sacred pillars" in the Old Testament, e.g., as in 2
Kings 18:4. Then the Jehovah Witness Bible has a footnote for Isaiah 57: 8 which
reads "And behind the door and the door post you set your memorial. For apart
from me you uncovered (yourself) and proceeded to go up; you made your bed
spacious. And for yourself you went concluding a covenant with them. You loved a
bed with them. The male organ you beheld." where their translation for
"memorial" in Isaiah 57:8 has the footnoted meaning "Phallic symbol" Then
Ezekiel 8:17 reads "And he went on to say to me: "Have you seen (this), O son of
man? Is it such a light thing to the house of Judah to do the detestable things
that they have done here, that they have to fill the land with violence, and
that they should offend me again, and here they are thrusting out the shoot to
my nose?" where the footnote to the word "shoot" is "male organ". Further I once
had an experience where God told me that the main meaning/intent of the Bible
was about Shiloh where Genesis 49: 10 (NAS) says, "The scepter shall not depart
from Judah, Nor the ruler's staff from between his feet, Until Shiloh comes, And
to him shall be the obedience of the peoples." You tell me what "sacred poles",
"sacred pillars", "sacred secret", "mystery(of Christ)", and "Shiloh"(which
occurs 33 times in the Old Testament and never once in the New Testament) - when
all put together - mean but "male organs" or "phallic symbols"
Back in the summer of 1980, I was sleeping on the ground of one of the hogacks
just to the southwest of Golden, Colorado and I decided to tear a branch off a
tree. Whatever was in the oil from that tree gave me a swollen right hand -
remember this was after my right hand's experience with Cerebrus. Suddenly the
fairy Queen of Death - I forget now but did not Shakespeare talk about a Queen
Nab as that fairy queen? - appeared. She could just fit in the palm of my right
hand and her wings looked about the same in consistency - but not in shape - as
those of dragon flies.She stayed around my right hand's palm for about 15
minutes, but then had to give up on me as a lost cause.
My next meeting with the fairy queen of death was when I was in the hospital the
last time - 2001. At that time I remember voices telling me I was dead at least
4 different times - yet I was still moving and thinking. Also there was a time
when I looked in the mirror to see an entirely new face - handsome but, more
importantly mysterious and this lasted for about 10 minutes. Around this time
also I got a completely new and healthy set of teeth for up to 2 minutes about
two or three times. Further, at this time in the hospital, I was allowed to eat
from the tree of life - spiritually, not the actual physical fruit. In the last
2 months in the hospital I was constipated and got a chance to use "fleets"
enemas - yet, as far as I remember, only once did this work. Towards the end of
this period of trying "fleets" enemas, I eventually got so that I didn't even
think about my constipation, and I don't remember what happened with my bowels
from that time until I was discharged.
So the name I got - from whom I don't know - for the New Jerusalem is
Haggaionith where the name of the prophet Haggai means "festal" or "Festival".
I understand the psychological need for Christians to believe in the Rapture,
because it means that they will survive the Tribulation period. For by the
Rapture, they will be taken by Jesus in His second coming up from the earth into
the atmosphere and beyond during the disasters of the Tribulation, and thus
survive. I think there are two different places where the idea of the Rapture -
although not that actual word "Rapture" - are mentioned.
! Corinthians 15:51, 52 says, "Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all
sleep , but we shall all be changed. "In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye,
at the last trump; for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised
incorruptible, and we shall be changed."
I Thessalonians 4:14-18 says (NAS), " For if we believe that Jesus died and rose
again, even so them also which sleeep in Jesus will God bring with him. . For
this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain
unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the
Lord himself shall descend from eaven with a shout, with the voice of the
archangel, and with the trump of God: and te dead in Christ shall rise first:
"Then we which are alive ad remain shall be caught up together with them in the
clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
Wherefore comfort one another with thses words."
Re: I Thessalonians 4:13-18. 1) Why does Jesus use the voice of the archangel
instead of His own Majestic and Creative voice? 2) This event described here is
possible if the scenario of the book of Revelation is put into effect, BUT in
the case where the abomination which makes desolate happens on a Sabbath or in
the winter - which has already been determined in favor of the greatest disaster
ever according to me - probably 8 or less will survive. For Jesus also says
(Matthew 24:22 - King James Version ) "And except those days should be
shortened, there should no flesh be saved...." AND Jesus, even after the
Resurrection, was made of flesh as per Luke 24:39 (the Revised Standard Version)
says, "See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself; handle me and see; for a
spirit has not flesh and bones as you see that I have." So if we - His followers
have the same kind of bodies He had after His resurrection we and He have flesh
and, therefore are vulnerable to the disasters of the Tribulation - and no way
will we escape that period in earth's history - even if we are Raptured and are
in the earth's atmosphere we are susceptible to perishing. Jesus' being of flesh
after His resurrection means that He too is susceptible to perishing - along
with ALL those who are Raptured - that is, if the Revelation scenario comes
about - which we already know will not happen because the abomination which
makes desolate already happened in the winter according to me.
In late winter of 1980, I was on the streets of El Paso, TX and Juarez, Mexico.
Whatever was guiding my steps would not allow me to look at maps and/or street
signs. I was just walking wherever I was taken and, at any time, I didn't know
where I was going and/or where I was. Soon I saw two little poisonous snakes
(maybe coral snakes)- in spiritual form and about 12-18 inches long - each
wrapped around my two ankles and extending forward on the top side of my feet to
reach about 3 inches beyond the tip of my shoes. Then I was arrested in El Paso
because I thought there was an "infrared bomb" in a van, and I was trying to
reroute traffic around it. In the jail I was told that Quetzalcoatl - the god of
the morning star and the spirit of Noah - was going to come to me. I got in that
room's shower and covered my eyes. Then I heard the horses of Quetzalcoatl's
chariot and he was able to get inside me without hurting me - especially my eyes
were protected. Then I did a "Mayan" dance which I never would have been able to
do on my own. I was told at that time that thousands of Mexican young men had
tried to do this but none had succeeded. I also heard Quetzalcoatl's voice/roar,
and I was told that it was the back-up in case things went wrong his voice could
destroy all or any part of creation. So to this day I wonder about God telling
me that I was walking with Him and yet those two snakes also guiding me.
Further, ever since God's eyes have taken up residence in me and especially
after what God called the second Watershed - where Jesus' crucifixion and
resurrection was the first Watershed since the Flood - in the summer of 2005
during the CHARG Resource Center's annual camping trip to Golden Gate Canyon
State Park - people who God wants to show can - if God wants - see through my
eyes and even see themselves at the same time through my eyes.
I should also make it clear that when I was in the mental health hospital the
last time - in 2001 - I ate of the fruit of the tree of life, BUT the tree and
its fruit was spiritual not physical and, as far as I know it takes the actual
physical fruit to do the complete job.
The idea of Shiloh - found first in Genesis - being the main subject of the
whole Bible has one expression in Psalm 2:8-9 "Ask of Me, and I will surely give
the nations as Thine inheritance, and the very ends of the earth as Thy
possession. 'Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron, Thou shalt shatter them
like earthenware.'" If - as I guess - every nation has some kind of system
whereby its leaders have the top dog for that nation and somebody comes along
whose rod of iron becomes top dog of the whole world - and thus there is an
attractive force towards his rod exerted on all nations, it would explain how
his rod of iron tends to overrule all other rods. AND every time that person
with the rod of iron has sex with his wife/wives, they renew and more firmly
establish their love for each other. In other words, no rod of iron without a
loyal wife/wives. Further, no rod of iron unless that person and his wife/wives
refrain from using any kind of spiritual violence. In other words, the purpose
for that marriage is to get all peoples to love one another, BUT NO WAY should
that marriage be involved in telling others what to believe and/or do: although
it is hoped that everybody will eventually be for peace on earth.
I want to help any who will listen by offering the following explanation. The
New Testament says that "the love of money is the root of all evil".But, how can
we say that malaria is explained by " the love of money"? IN other words, those
with malaria are kept that way in many cases by the wealthy nations not wanting
to use their money for helping out. If the citizens of the nations of the world
would give their fair share towards helping out malaria could possibly be wiped
out. Meanwhile - as the Philadelphia Church of God claims - the "seed" of evil
on an individual basis is covetousness. Once the seed of evil is established the
evil is nourished on an individual basis by its root - the love of money.
Personally, I think there are other seeds of evil besides covetousness (and no
where does the Bible come right out and say that covetousness is that seed ),
but I think the Bible might be pretty near 80-90% right about the love of money.
All the rage is dominated by the hypothesis of "global warming" Peter's two
letters talk about the end times and say - among other things - that "the very
elements will melt with fervent heat" and with "a loud noise." Isaiah 30:26 says
"And the light of the moon will be as the light of the sun, and the light of the
sun will be 7 times brighter, like the light of 7 days, on the day the LORD
binds up the fracture of His people and heals the bruise He has inflicted.." So
the literal Bible might provide the answer as to how God's fire is started at
the end times. Further global warming might be a biblical event.
When I was about 10 years old and living in Millis, MA I was riding my bicycle
and fell off about one mile from home. Next thing I knew I was home and I didn't
know how I got home. Also during my time at St. Mark's Prep School, Southboro,
MA ( this was by far the best school I ever went to and Dr. Roy S. Andersen,
professor of physics at Clark University was the best teacher I ever had) I was
playing tackle on the football team. About the second play of the game I tackled
one of my opponents and split my helmet. The next thing I knew it was almost
halftime and I had to ask one of my fellow players what the time was and what
the score was and which way we were going. This happened at least three other
times in my life up to now.
It is very necessary to point out that the Bible has 4 different kinds of "rods"
: 1) the rod of David's God's rod and staff; 2) a regular rod as in "save the
rod spoil the child" ; 3) the rod of the mouth, i.e., the tongue; and 4) the
"rod of bread"
How could David be right about "all men being liars". I don't know. But I do
want to know if, by "all men" David also includes all women? And what about all
the angels? Are they liars too? Further, if David is right in confessing
"Against Thee and Thee only have I sinned" and if Revelation (21?) Is right
about Jesus being the root of David, and if David is also right in saying "The
LORD said to my Lord, 'Sit at My right hand and I will put your enemies under
your feet" Where "my Lord" - as David's root - is Jesus and "The LORD" is
Yahweh/Creator/Father. How could Jesus have been involved in this sin of
David's? And when David says about his sin against Bathsheba and Uriah her
husband that "against Thee ( i.e., God ) and Thee only, have I sinned" does he
mean that angels were involved and they fought against David in this matter?
To get a better idea of what David was all about I first want to say that he was
of the tribe of Judah where Judah means "Praised" 161 times in the book of
Psalms David talks about "Praise for God", 60 times in Psalms David talks about
"Thanksgiving for God", and134 times in Psalms David talks about "revenge,
destruction, punishment, and killing" for the so-called "wicked". I prefer David
talking about revenge,etc. 34 times, Thanksgiving 250 times, and Praise 71
times: for God does not need praise as much as He wants thanksgiving, and 134
times of complaint doesn't fly with me.
As for the 490 men/stones of the sexual temple of Daniel, Jesus says in Luke 14:
28(Nas), "For which one of you, when he wants to build a tower, does not first
sit down and calculate the cost, to see if he has enough to complete it?"
As for the true importance of women in the scheme of thngs and against the bible
verse that the prophet found one man in a thousand BUT NOT A SINGLE WOMAN, Psalm
68:11 (NAS) says, "The Lord gives the command; The women who proclaim the good
tidings are a great host:"As far as I'm concerned, this refers to the
110,000,000 wives of the final person to get Thy rod and staff. And Psalm 144:12
(NAS) says, "let our sons in their youth be as grown-up plants, and our
daughters as corner pillars fashioned as for a palace;" A lot of these daughters
will be among the 110,000,000 wives.
What with ALL the Christian ministers/priests emphasizing the need of the loyal
ones to tithe it is very necessary to reply - time and time again - that
Deuteronomy 14:24-27 says, "And if the distance is so great for you that you are
not able to bring the tithe, since the place where the LORD your God chooses to
set His name is too far away from you when the LORD your God blesses you, then
you shall exchange it for money, and bind the money in your hand and go to the
place which the LORD your God chooses, And you may spend the money for whatever
your heart desires , for oxen, or sheep, or wine, or strong drink, or whatever
your heart desires; and there you shall eat in the presence of the LORD your God
and rejoice, you and your household. Also you shall not neglect the Levite who
is in your town, for he has no portion or inheritance among you." In other
words, you are entitled to a "good" time as long as the Levites, widows,
orphans, strangers, etc. are taken care of.
Moses led God's people fleeing away from Egypt to the wilderness as well as to
Mount Sinai, God's mountain. They needed water - not only for themselves but
also for their flocks . God ordered Moses to strike a particular rock and water
would flow out of it at a place called Meribah and/or Massah, where Massah means
"strife" and Meribah means "place of strife" Moses struck the rock twice with
his rod/snake when in all other uses of that rod Moses struck only once. As far
as I am concerned there is much more faith involved in striking only
once.Whatever Moses did at Massah and Meribah he also spoke rashly as in Psalm
106:32-33 (NAS) which says, "They also provoked Him to wrath at the waters of
Meribah, So that it went hard with Moses on their account; Because they were
rebellious against His spirit, He spoke rashly with his lips" As far as I know,
the Bible does not say exactly what Moses did or said for God to say he would
die, but I suspect that his rashness contributed. As for me there is just about
nothing the Moses of the Bible could do which would be worse than his breaking
the two tablets of stone (containing the Ten Commandments and written by the
finger of God) when he came down the mountain and saw his people worshiping an
inanimate calf of gold. If that didn't show Moses rashness, what did? . Can you
imagine destroying such wonderful artifacts? After shattering the tablets what
assurance did Moses have that God would write another two tablets with the Ten
Commandments? Guess what? One newsletter I get from a Fundamentalist
organization said that Moses had to destroy the original two tablets as a sign
that God was divorcing Himself from the Israelites!! I checked out the NAS
Concordance for the word divorce and found no entry which would mean that God
either married or then divorced Himself from the Israelites: although Ezekiel 23
talks about Oholah (married to Samaria/Israel) and her sister Oholibah ( married
to Jerusalem) committing adultery. Also God ordered the propet Hosea to marry a
harlot Hosea 2:2 "When the LORD first spoke through Hosea, the LORD said to
Hosea, "Go, take to yourself a wife of harlotry, and have children of harlotry;
for the land commits flagrant harlotry, forsaking the LORD." And if God divorced
from Jacob at that time, why then did He remarry? For soon after the shattering
of the first two tablets, Moses went up Mount Sinai again and God made two more
tablets. Do you think God divorced Israel and then remarried Israel again in the
matter of 40 days or so? For Malachi 2:16 has God saying, "For I hate divorce,
SAYS THE lord, THE God of Israel, "and him who covers his garment with wrong,"
says the LORD of hosts. "So take heed to your spirit, that you do not deal
treacherously." Do you really think that the God who ordered Hosea to marry a
harlot and who hate divorce would have married the people of Jacob and then
divorced them and then remarried them 40 days later?
As for the golden calf, Moses had it heated and then powdered and caused the
Israelites to eat and drink it. That would mean that God was punishing by
hurting - and I don't believe that that is the way God works. Further, if Moses
had not powdered the golden calf they could have put it on display to show how
erroneous were their forefathers. The same could be said about Nehushtan, the
bronze serpent which Moses made and which future Israelite worshiped (
originally, it was meant to help those bitten by poisonous snakes) and which
King Hezekiah destroyed. That would have been a wonderful artifact to be put on
display also.. Also, in at least two different places.in the Torah God says that
He was going to allow some of the 6 or 7 nations in Canaan to live and prosper -
not to be destroyed completely as a test of the faith of the Israelites - which
goes against the idea of practically every pundit of the Torah that God wanted (
and God said so in the Torah)the Israelites to kill off ALL the Canaanites
except, in some cases young virgins and innocent children.
In Numbers 12:1 we find that Moses married a Cushite woman and that was after he
married Zipporah, the daughter of the Midianite priest. So his brother Aaron,
the high priest, and his sister the prophetess Miriam accused Moses of
wrong-doing. God speaks up and says that Moses is His person on earth - in spite
of his being a bigamist. I wonder if the explanation is found in The Complete
Works of Josephus Flavius Josephus, ranslated by Willaim Whiston, Kregel
Publications, Grand Rapids, MI, 1981, pp. 57 and 58 where he says that Moses was
made general of the Egyptian army and beat the Ethiopians, and then the daughter
of the king of Ethiopia - Tharbis - fell in love with Moses and he married her.
Obviously she didn't go with Moses when he fled to Midian from Pharaoh. But then
she picked up on Moses again when he came back to Egypt and remaried him at
Mount Sinai or soon thereafter.The NAS Concordance shows that the Hebrew for a
Cushite woman is also translated about the same number of times as an Ethiopian
woman.
The last time I was in a mental hospital - about 2001 - there were about three
or four times a black black fog like substance which seemed to give me comfort
and was the same as the substance I saw for the sheriffs and or nuns when I saw
them without their physical bodies and which I saw of my spiritual body except
that this mist had a moist and/or wet substance to it. So I wonder about the
Book of Mormon, chapter 12:17 which says the mists of darkness "are the
temptations of the devil" If my experiences with this substance - that it was a
comfort to me - was right then that would be only one of the things that it has
wrong. For the Bible says that Satan disguises himself as an angel of light -
not as an emissary of moist darkness.
Back in 2001 when I was in Colorado mental health hospital I was on a break
outside with staff and other patients. An bald eagle flew by within about 15
feet of me. The feathers of its head were outstanding in their whiteness - I
couldn't even imagine such a white. About six months later, I was asleep at home
in our condominium and got up to relieve myself. There was a white-colored fur
small dog standing in the toilet bowl. I came back later and it was gone. That
fur and the eagle's head feathers were both of the same magnificent and unique
color.
Many so-called Christians seem to have it out for Mormons and Jehovah Witnesses,
but I think that, although I disagree with them on many points, ny sect/church
that believes in Jesus as the one and only Christ, has to be Christian ( the
Bible itself defines the Antichrist as being against Jesus becoming the king of
kings - that and that only) as long as they also believe Jesus was the only
begotten Son of God and the only one by which we may be saved from or sins.
I have a dilemna. According to the book of Romans, death is the result of sin
and eternal life comes from believing in Jesus as the one and only begotten Son
of God and source of forgiveness. If that is not so, then Jesus died for
nothing; His whole life and ministry and crucifixion and resurrection was a
sham. However, as far as I know Evolutionists believe that death is a natural
part of life and inevitable. And this also reminds me that one creationist
talked about an early evolutionist who congratulated his colleagues for "Kicking
God off His throne." So how can I find a compromise for these two
contradictions?
