O’ What a Lofty Perch This Is!
This article contains a concise explanation of what adultery is and is not, and how God views the “one-flesh” relationship. Although most “Christians” believe a man and woman become “one-flesh” in marriage, God’s perspective is that union happens through sexual intercourse. This article examines the implications of that fact.
The Forecast
The purpose of this column is to explain various weather-related parabolic images that relate to the Last Days and the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. This edition examines what the Prophet Nahum has to say about the Antichrist and the Second Coming.
Questions & Answers
The first question pertains to the recent capture of Saddam Hussein rather than his being killed. The second seeks to know how the parabolic imagery of The Teaching that Adam believed differed from that in The Teaching of Moses. A third asks what the Prophets mean by their use of the phrase “the daughter of My people.” The final question concerns whether the restoration of the Jews to Palestine is even mentioned in the Scriptures.
Excerpt From Newsletter
Did you see why Jesus said He spoke in parables? Probably not. That’s because God thinks in terms of some very specific parabolic imagery, and Satan doesn’t want you to know that, much less what that parabolic imagery is. If you did, you might actually be able to “see” and “hear” what the Prophets have said about “The Way” God thinks. Lacking that ability, you are most likely headed to Hell in the same handbasket as the spiritual descendants of the Pharisees who control the Church today. You know—the ones who want you to believe that God thinks the way they do. In this article, I’m going to explain the significance of one of the more radical parabolic images in “The Way” God thinks so that you can better assess what it might cost you should you decide to view things from God’s perspective. Pretenders will find the concepts I explain so completely offensive that most will stop reading along. But “The Many” who continue will have ample opportunity to see just how far removed God’s thoughts are from the thoughts of the “wicked” and “unrighteous” Pharisees perched in the pulpit today.
If you have difficulty accepting what I explain, you might want to take the opportunity to reconsider where you stand in your relationship to God. But I doubt you will because Satan controls people through the lies they believe. Once he has someone firmly believing one of his more important lies, he does his best to see that they get downright defensive about admitting the possibility that what they believe could ever be wrong.
If you want to know what beliefs Satan considers to be most crucial to his plan, all you have to do is watch the evening news. He is constantly reinforcing belief in his lies through current events. That is true not just here in the States. You can go anywhere in the world, and you will find Satan busily preparing the minds of the Wicked for his appearance in the person of the Antichrist. But he has a special reason for trying to retain absolute control over what religious folks here in the United States think.
