INTRODUCTION
(But as for you Daniel conceal these words and seal up the book until the time of the end; many will go back and
forth, and knowledge will increase.) Daniel 12: 4
Hello and
welcome! Dear friend, before I go any further, placing in these narrow pages my
opinions and views, I have to clear out some things. Often I mention about the
"End of the World", but of course, only God knows the exact time of the End, no
one else. I must also admit that
I am not a
theologian, not a priest, nor chosen one, prophet or similar. I want also to
underline: "I am not, or rather, am I a heretical”? Well, I think all religions are less or more heresies any way,
something understandable, while
it is not possible to know the whole truth, and therefore we all make some
mistakes! But of course there are some very dangerous heresies from which every
one should be aware. Keep away!
I am alone, not belonging to any religion, but
am friend with all of those who believe to the Lord Christ regardless if not
agree in everything they believe. Well, I am friend with every one of course
regardless his religion. Strongly I believe the human is most
important for God, not
exactly the religions. Lord created the earth mostly for the human, He came as
human for the human, was crucified for the people, not for the religions.
So let us try
by faith and praying, so we may get into some mysteries of the creation, and in
the terrible events, that will precede the end. At first, by reading more
careful the Bible, we realize that most of Moses’ writings speak, I would say,
“two languages”! Yes, two languages, the main one, which is the allegorical
language and the literal one as well. This was also confirmed in some way by the
silence of the Lord. Lord Christ spoke in various matters directly and literal,
but He never revealed, by His words, when and how God created the world. Why?
Certainly
His silence reveals a lot! Because, He came to reveal the true Will of His
Father, but He didn’t reveal, at least not directly and clearly, all the
secrets, nor elucidated all the prophecies! He taught by word and example, and
one who has ears, may hear. By the words, “whoever has ears may hear” is calling us
also to use
our logic as well, and think. As far we know He did not say directly a word
about those terrible crimes and atrocities that occurred in His holy name, but
He contradicted them indirectly by His teaching. And we will see it! God never
descends, as I believe, to the level of a human, who is obligated to apologize for himself,
giving explanations. And it was not only this reason, but for many other reasons
as well, reasons narrow related with the diachronic salvation of many people,
and the crushing of the evil enemy.
The whole
truth certainly will shine at the correct time, at the time of crisis, (crisis,
which also means, see, hear, feel, understand everything, to know the whole
truth), of every revelation. He did neither confirm nor contradict words and
writings, which do not belong to Him, and of course the unholy writings do not
match the Lord. But as He said, there is nothing hidden that wouldn’t be
revealed. For very complicated reasons related with the existence of the
Great
Reptile and his interpositions in the creation, God gave freedom of expression
and choice, free volition. But of course this free volition is very relative and
limited. Because, what do we choose indeed? Perhaps when to be born, and
when and how to die, or not to die? Perhaps how long we will live, our sex, our
nation, or our social and economic situation? Not
of
course.
Our choice
is mainly between Good and bad, which means between God and the
Devil.
So we have this
free choice, at least now, in democracy, though during the centuries the Bible
was written, this privilege was not so public at all.
It was in general a
privilege mainly of the rich rulers, who were also “gods”, I mean appear as
gods, or at least as sons of gods, as it is known. And of course, as gods
demanded public obedience; whatever they said, the gods said it, and whatever
they wanted, the gods wanted it. The same almost condition dominated to the
people of Israel as well after Moses, the same things occurred there too. The
rich rulers and kings who were also priests ruled the nation of Israel. God
spoke to me, every one of them would say, and so they used the name of God
according to their interest and to terrorize and control the people! That is why
there is a huge confusion in the Bible. But that is enough.
Enough is enough.
Because the
Lord Christ came, and He revealed the True God, and what the Creator really
wants. Lord says I Am the TRUTH, I Am the Light. So Lord Christ is the Truth and
the Light of the world, therefore He calls us upon that level to look in the
Light, whatever knowledge or perceptions we have about God. In general, the
Bible and a lot of other books write about God, but if those various writings or
sayings not matching with the Light of the world, if no matching in His moral
teaching, His love, justice, logic, must be rejected.
To
comprehend how God’s plans would be served without His intervention, I think we
should observe closely the natural world, and the behaviour of some animals. It
is suggested to observe closely the human history, and also “read” the other
Bible, the Natural Bible of God, part of which is the Silent Bible of God that
reveals a lot of secrets. We should observe something very common that often
pass without concern. We see things in nature, such as trees, animals, insects
that serve some purpose as they try to survive. They serve a plan, and of course
they don’t know it. And this astonishing phenomenon, this natural Bible speaks
its own secret language; it doesn’t make silly noise like the empty drum without
sense, neither is modified to speak the “smart” language of each time rich
rulers.
If we bend by
prudence to hear its sound, we would hear and comprehend a lot of secrets and
wonders of the creation. As for example like the bees that fly from flower to
flower as they try to collect nectar for food. But unwittingly they fertilize
flowers and therefore serve a plan. The flowers produce nectar; they dress more
beautiful than King Solomon to attract the insects. Trees make fruit to
reproduce their kind and in absolute obliviousness feed humans and animals. Most
of them in one way or another, serve plans and intentions simply as they live
their lives. Some people interpret this kind of behaviour as the actions of
“mother” nature. But certainly are not “mother’s” actions.
Simply, the
nature is working or rather is a great automatic I would say, reproducing
factory, without thought and will. The natural forces are means of life of
course, and also mechanism of reproduction, the entire of which constitute the
nature. These forces are spiritless creations; therefore the nature has no mind,
and so, never thinks and never sketches. As the bees, the same about the human
by his activities serves God’s plans without even suspect. We have our freedom
to be good or bad, to love and believe our Creator, or through our passions that
lead to the enslaving and unfaithfulness, to behave like ungrateful and spoiled
children, but Lord had made His plans before we first opened our eyes, and had
pre-determined the journey of the time that filters through our decisions, the
ending of which is already pre-determined.
The world with its choices, the history, passes through this
journey, and often in ignorance serves divine plans. It is His creation, more so
than the builder that built his own house; we are tenants that are unable to
leave, even if we don’t believe. For example, when somebody lives temporarily in
the house of someone else, whether he loves or not the owner, nevertheless he
lives in the owner’s house and under the owner’s roof. He has no other choice
than to sleep in one of the owner’s bedrooms, eat at his table, walk throughout
the corridors, use the toilet, and see himself in the owner’s mirror. He will
set in motion some buttons, which in the creation serve plans.
It is written that God punishes, maybe, when the scales of
justice have turned vertically, but certainly, never ever causes wars and
suffering to serve His plans. The devil does it when people obey him, and often
unwilling he serves plans as well. As for example, the crucifiers of the Lord;
God didn’t influence them of course to crucify Him, or to hate the Light of the
world. Crucifying the Lord, they were acting by hate, which siphons from the
devil, and so in their ignorance they were serving the devil. That is why the
Lord said; forgive them Father because they don’t know what they do.
History has
taught us about kings and generals who of course were acting through their
intentions, ambitions, and passions. They committed wars and crimes for their
own intentions, yet some times ended up by serving a plan without even
suspecting it. As an example the Roman Empire and ancient Greece; the Greeks set
the foundations of science, created a wonderful civilization, the philosophy and
democracy, and developed a very rich philosophic and technical language. They
succeeded in crushing the great armies of the Persians and Medes, and nearly
destroyed themselves by civil wars. It was Alexander who reunited them, and
marched against the Persian Empire.
With an
army of less than 50 000 soldiers he managed to crush the Persian Empire, and
ruled in areas as far as closed to India. After his death, the civil wars
started again over the sharing of the empire, as the project kept pace with
ambition, and sometime it seemed the empire was near collapsed. But those people
who were not Greeks, made the Greek civilization their own business, and as a
result scattered the Greek civilization and language, the same one that was used
to translate the Old Testament and write the Gospel spreading the teaching of
Lord Jesus. As it is known the Hebrew people were scattered throughout the world
and refused to accept Lord Jesus as the Messiah.
So
Alexander’s expedition ended by serving a plan, even though he didn’t suspect
it. Some fanatic nationalists and atheists maintain that Christianity was
“influenced” by Greek philosophy. What can we say to those people? They didn’t
comprehend the words; the Light is the One that enlightens every human who comes
in the world. Enlightens every one regardless of nationality, religion, or when
and where lived. Undoubtedly the Greek civilization, as philosophy and language,
prepared the ground for the coming of the Messiah, and so served a plan without
suspecting it. Even the insects serve God’s plans and intentions, how much more
the greater acts of humans! So, neither the Greeks by their language and
philosophy, nor Alexander by his expedition had any intention to serve God’s
plan, nor did God ask them to do so, but nevertheless ended in serving His plans
while trying to develop their civilization and rule the world.
Returning
briefly to the writing of the Bible, it is obviously that there are a lot of
additions everywhere. Various intruders’ writers, rich rulers, priests, who
knows, living in condition of circumstantial ignorance, and by serving racial
and other darkening interests, wrote in the books of the Old Testament, and
between the writings of the Prophets, their own perceptions. God,
they wrote, spoke to various people; God was speaking
by the hours, and what said, a lot of things! Strange writings, illogical,
criminal, untrue! God was doing every thing, they said, and the good and the
bad, the anthropomorphism in its vastness!
To understand
all those paradoxes, where God, as they wrote,
was speaking by the hours, I think we should try to comprehend the spirit of the
ancient world. It was an international phenomenon, indeed! All
the people used to understand almost everything as acts and will of their
deified fathers and tribal leaders, and of course those perceptions, as what
their gods want, said or did, transferred by the traditions affecting all the
tribes and nations. So the Hebrews also used to interpret almost everything as
acts and as Will of God. Why are there some poor and others rich? Because this
is God’s will”! Well, the rich rulers were “pious” as they said, and that is why
God “gave” them wealth and slaves! “Why is the woman “less important”, and why
are there slaves? Because God has designed things that way! Who gives
authorities to the rulers, and who causes wars and sufferings? Again God!
So
they used to load everything on God, and we may say, by look it from some other
point of view, they used to crucified the Lord already, long before crucify Him
on the hill of Calvary. Well, it was unavoidable for that time, because of
circumstantial ignorance, but 2000 years after Christ, where God revealed the
True God; there is no excuse any longer. If you didn’t know, the Lord says, you
wouldn’t have sins, but when one can see the truth, and cover it as not to see
it, then certainly is a guilty one. We comprehend that the most important thing
for God is to save the human souls, and that is why the Lord loaded our sins on
His shoulders, and paid for all those sins, which we did in our knowledge, and
also for the other sins, which we did in conditions of ignorance, of fear, of
foolishness etc
