The Mandela Effect - Can Scripture Change?

(And What Does the Scripture say about Bible Changes?)

However, when his disciples heard this, they caught a glimpse of what Jesus was really implying. And so they asked him privately, “When would all be fulfilled?” "When will the repose of the dead come about, and when will the new world come?" Jesus said to them, "What you look forward to has already come, but you do not recognize it," Thomas 51.

These were dangerous questions, and the answers were even more perilous. And yet, Jesus was responding in clear and in certain terms. The scriptures will not stay the same forever.

Understandably, the disciples were confused and a little shocked, and so they asked him again, "When will the kingdom come?!" Jesus said, "It will not come by waiting for it. It will not be a matter of saying 'here it is' or 'there it is.' Rather, the kingdom of the father is spread out upon the earth, and men do not see it,' ” Thomas 113. (See Acts 1:6-7)

Men do not see it. The implications of this are mind boggling. It implies that there is a veil blinding mankind's eyes. But some are beginning to see. The veil is being removed. This article suggests that the Mandela Effect changes that are now being seen are The Unveiling of Jesus Christ and his message as described in The Book of Revelation. This is a most glorious of times, but it is also a most sobering time. Every eye will see him, every man in his own order, and when we do see him, we will be changed to be like him, Revelation 1:7, 1 John 3:2, 1 Corinthians 15:23.

The Unveiling, or the Mandela Effect as it is sometimes called, is what this article is all about, 2 Corinthians 4:3.

The unveiling of Jesus Christ is the work of God, that you might believe.

As we approach the end of the age there will be a lot happening, and much of it will be unprecedented, so for this reason, a true spiritual discernment from God will be needed. Our first gut instinct may not be right. The antichrist spirit will be performing signs and wonders to deceive if possible even the elect. And there will be the beast and the false prophet speaking lies. On the other hand, the old age will be passing away and God will be introducing us to the powers of the age to come. And in preparation for all of this, the end time prophets, possibly Moses and Elijah, who will probably represent an end time company of saints will come forth restoring all things with the kind of truth and power that most saints have never experienced. This will be both a most treacherous and a most glorious of times. Changes will be coming from all sides. All of this before our Lord returns.

It may be that we are moving into these times.

The Canon of the Scriptures and The Mandela Effect.

There are even some within the Mandela Effect community that are claiming to see changes within the very canonical books of the scripture, Isaiah 11:6, Revelation 22:18-19.

Many are not comfortable addressing this subject. Opinions do differ between believers. With so many different approaches to the subject, the message of this article has been a difficult one to articulate. There are many theories attempting to explain the cause of the Mandela effect. But strangely enough, even amongst some believers, God is often sidelined or even left out of many of these theories.

It seems that hardly anyone wants to believe that God would change the Bible.

The message of this article will be difficult for several reasons.

1. Many, do not even see the changes. In our modern world build on a scientific worldview, the supernatural is often explained away. Even those who profess a faith in Christ often embrace a theology that teaches that miracles and the supernatural cannot or do not still happen today.

2. Others believe that any scriptural changes that they can see must be the work of the Devil, or Babylonian sorcery working through CERN, or even D-wave computers.

3. And finally, many have been taught that the Bible would never change. In Jesus day, the scribes and pharisees had a similar approach to the law, and we know how they treated Jesus.

Despite all these objections, together, let's consider the impossible. Let's consider the possibility that God is behind these Mandela effects both causing them, and allowing them for his purposes.

In Jesus day, the change in the law that occurred was a work of God. Could something similar be happening again today. Could the story of Jesus, and the opposition he faced become our story.

Jesus said, "I shall give you what no eye has seen, and what no ear has heard, and what no hand has touched, and what has never occurred to the human mind," Thomas 17.

If these changes are primarily a working of God, then we may expect to find hidden messages from above, and a restoration of truth with new nuances of meaning, even within many of the changes. And even those things which the devil is intending for evil, God oversees and uses for our benefit, Genesis 50:20, Romans 8:28.

Surely, we who have faith, can acknowledge at least, that God is overseeing all things. And so, we are given the task “prove all things; (and) hold fast to that which is good, 1 Thessalonians 5:21. And we must do all things in love.

The perceived changes within the Bible have been a catalyst for much anxiety within some “Christian” communities. Some are panicked feeling that time is of the essence, that we are running out of time, acting hastily and rushing decisions, affecting negatively the lives of those we love. This is not necessary. Time is not of the essence. Love is of the essence. God is not in a rush. He is longsuffering, and patient not willing that any should perish, and the servant of the Lord must not strive, but rather he must be patient with all men “that they recover themselves out of the snare of the devil,” 2 Timothy 2:26. We must give individuals time to sort this out.

Having said this, still, knowing both the goodness and the severity of the Lord, we do persuade men. There is a certain urgency to this message that we all feel.

These are treacherous times. The stakes are high and the gray areas are disappearing. Those who do not receive a love for the truth, as it is revealed in the message and testimony of Jesus, they will believe a lie, 2 Thessalonians 2;3,10. However, deception can come in more than one form. If changes are being made to the scriptures by the antichrist, then those who do not see the changes are being deceived. On the other hand, people can be just as deceived by believing wrongly about the existence of scriptural changes that do not exist.

There is however, perhaps a more serious danger that has not been addressed. We must not be giving credit to evil for everything supernatural. Such a knee jerk reaction would be an insult to the Holy Spirit. To ascribe to the devil a work that is an actual working of the spirit of God is unforgivable in this life or in the life to come, Mathew 12:31-32. All sins will be forgiven to the sons of men, but this one sin never, not until heaven and earth are joined, Thomas 44. This was the error of the pharisees that Jesus called blasphemy against the holy spirit, Mark 3:29.

At the time of the end the only truly safe place will be within the love of the truth as it is found within Jesus, and within the love of the truth as it is found within the little end-time scroll which comes from the mouth of Jesus, Revelation 10:10, 2 Thessalonians 2;3,8,10. With danger, and the deceptions of Mystery Babylon on all sides, the saints need to be crying out for the message of this little scroll.

As this little scroll is opened everything will change.

The primary thesis of this article is that as humanity moves from one age and then into the next, God progressively unveils his message, in ever increasing clarity. He is opening blind eyes. As the little scroll opens God is making changes within our reality to supernaturally reveal and testify of his son. He makes these alterations to get our attention, for our benefit and for our growth, as we are able to bear it, to fulfill his own plans and purposes. This is a clear teaching and pattern within scripture. This will be discussed in detail.

When faced with the supernatural, there are many voices and explanations. As for me, I see the hand of God in and behind it all.

And yet we still have an enemy.

And so, there are those who are sounding the alarm. They are seeing enemies who would attack the scriptures if and when they are given the power to do so. Even so, we need not be afraid. God is overseeing all things and promises to discipline those who add to or take away from the written word. John writes, "If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book,” Revelation 22:18-19. Such a one will be disciplined in the like manner in which he offends. Herein is the patience of the saints, Revelation 14:11. Whatever the changes that might be observed, God is still in control.

It is to be expected that the Devil, if he should incarnate in the person or system of the antichrist would try to imitate God and claim this divine prerogative and ability to rewrite scripture for himself. In his pride he declares, "I will be like the most High,” but in his arrogance he is cast down to the earth, and in his humiliation, he comes down having great wrath, knowing that his time for vengeance is short, Isaiah 14:14, Revelation 12:12. And so, this antichrist manifests his dark power through false signs and wonders in a vain attempt to interfere with the ever increasing growth in the kingdom. "He shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think (or intend) to change times and laws: and they (the saints) shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time, (or 3 ½ years)" Daniel 7:25, Ezekiel 3:25, 2 Timothy 2:9.

Many in the Mandela Effect community have heard of this intention of the antichrist, and of his desire to exercise sovereignty. However, fewer in the community have heard of another verse in this same end-time book of Daniel that ascribes to God not only the intention to make changes, but also the sovereign over-ruling ability to make these changes according to His own will and according to His own purposes and plans. "Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his: And He changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding: He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him," Daniel 2:20-22.

The secret that many do not see is that Jesus has been given power over all things and that he is exercising dominion, a dominion that grows and increases. Finally, Christ returns, and destroys the antichrist with the words of his mouth. We will be discussing these words and these sayings of Jesus in great detail.

This secret was entrusted to the apostles and so "when they... were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? And he (Jesus) said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power, (and which he has the power to change) " Acts 1:6-7.

The details and exact outworking of the plan of God are kept hidden for our own protection, and so we have learned to have trust, and to have faith.

Having acknowledged the possibility of supernatural changes within the Biblical text, caution and discernment is needed. We must take care that we do not place an unnecessary fear, nor a stumbling-block before our brethren, nor the weak in faith. The truth must be spoken only with noble purpose, and only if it can be spoken with love and seasoned with grace, Ephesians 4:15, Colossians 4:6.

Let's try to be open to the possibility that God can and will change the Scriptures. If this can be established then maybe we can consider the possibility that Satan would try to imitate the Most high by doing similar wonders. Either way, we need to be studying those passages that appear to be changing to discern the reason for the changes.

Let's start with baby steps. God does change the message as we grow in understanding. For example, “Thou shalt not murder” was a prohibition, but it can become a prophecy. And prophecies can be fulfilled. When the law is fulfilled, then it can pass away. In this way the meaning of the message of the scriptures can change, and does change, as we change.

Even the written laws, written with the finger of God even on tables (or tablets) of stone can physically change once they have been fulfilled. What did Jesus mean when he said, “one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled," Matthew 5:18. Paul attempted to explain this teaching of Jesus saying, "Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law," Romans 13:10. And since love is the fulfilling of the law, if there is love, jots and tittles can begin to pass from the law. So yes, the written word can and does change, but only after divine love is lived out in human hearts.

The Temporary Nature of the Law and the Prophets

Paul wrote “whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away, For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away," 1 Corinthians 13:8-10.

Ask yourself, what is "that which is perfect" which when it is come has the power to “do away” with the written and spoken messages of God?”

Paul wrote, "Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come," Galatians 3:19. Till “that which is perfect is come, 1 Corinthians 13:10 “Till all be fulfilled, Matthew 5:18.” And this power to change things all starts with a seed. And perhaps, like a seed the changes start small and then grow.

Perfection implies maturity and completion.

In this way the law and prophecy, the written and spoken word, can change in two ways and at two times. This can happen when the seed first comes, and again when it reaches maturity, is fulfilled or achieves its full expression.

Jesus, and his life and message, were that seed. And like a seed Jesus fell into the ground and died, and grew into a great tree that continues to multiply and spread, transforming the earth that receives it.

There is a progressive outworking of the seed. Every man comes in his own order. And if any man be in Christ, the two are reconciled into one, and there is a new creation. (See 2 Corinthians 5:17 and the context.)

Jesus and the Kingdom "is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth: But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it," Mark 4:31-32.

This perfect seed reproduces itself, and spreads. Jesus is and becomes the all.

"He that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty," Matthew 13:23.

In this way, the life within the seed first spreads to the disciples, then to the church, and then it spreads to the world, and then to the rest of the alienated creation. This perfect seed has the power of life within itself, which when received and understood, transforms the earth that it touches, even into itself, Thomas 108.

Jesus the (perfected) seed "descend(s) first into the lower parts of the earth?... And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: Ephesians 4:10-13, Matthew 19:21, Luke 6:40.

In this way, we as the first-fruits become the promise of the rest of the harvest, and of the restitution of all things. "Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creation," James 1:18.

The planting of the Lord continues to grow and multiply “so that (eventually even) the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it," Mark 4:31-32.

With each successive harvest, more and more of the seed is gathered. “Every one that is perfect shall be as his master, Luke 6:40.

All creation is waiting till the seed should come, waiting for the manifestation of the sons of God, till that which is perfect is come, till all the law is fulfilled within a life. And each time a true sower goes forth, it could be said that when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.

Are you seeing the changes?

How do you recognize a perfect seed? You will know it by it's fruit.

Jesus said, "Now the sower went out, took a handful (of seeds or sayings), and scattered them. Some fell on the road; the birds came and gathered them up. Others fell on the rock, did not take root in the soil, and did not produce ears. And others fell on thorns; they choked the seed(s) and worms ate them. And others fell on the good soil and it produced good fruit: it bore sixty per measure and a hundred and twenty per measure," Thomas 9.

What is the fruit that all creation is looking for? Like everyone, we are all looking for Love. Love is the fulfilling of the law.

Jesus the perfect seed, took a handful of his sayings about love, and scattered them into the field.

Jesus said, Whoever does not love his (Heavenly) father and his mother, which is the New Jerusalem that is above, as I do cannot become a disciple to me. "Love your brother like your soul, guard him like the pupil of your eye," Thomas 25, and 101. This could be summarized most simply as love God and love your neighbor.

This was a message that Jesus repeated over and over. Jesus said, "A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another," John 13:34. His brother James put it this way, "If ye fulfill the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well," James 2:8.

One jot (one small letter) or one tittle (one small stroke) shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled,"

Love is the fulfilling of the law."For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself," Galatians 5:14.

Jesus, this perfect seed, this message of love, as it grows within us, makes us perfect and complete, fulfilling the law within us. John wrote, "We have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love, 1 John 4:16-18.

Those who are made perfect are made perfect in, by and through love.

"Whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected," 1 John 2:5. You will recognize this love when you see it. "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends," John 15:13. "Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit," John 12:24.

This is the call of the gospel, and this is the call to the sower to go forth into the field.

There is no other way. Step by step, all creation is waiting for the perfect manifestation of the sons of God to bring them their liberation, Romans 8:19-21.

The law though spiritual is powerless to give life. You might ask "Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law," Galatians 3:21.

Nevertheless, the Law serves, and served its purpose. "The law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith," Galatians 3:24. But now, "we have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph," John 1:45.

The goal is simple, “that all men through him might believe," John 1:6-7.

Jesus the seed, and his message has the power to accomplish this.

Again, the law and prophecy is given til the perfect is come. And then the written message can change and even vanish away. The perfect comes in several ways, and in ever expanding expressions of the divine nature. First we see it in the seed which is Christ and his Gospel. Then we see it in the apostolic ministries. Then we see it in the church. Then we see it in all creation. The changes will become more obvious as the seed grows and its influence continues to expand through all creation.

It is reasonable to believe that Christ and some of the apostolic ministries have reached this perfection. The next step in this progressive growth of the seed may be seen in the perfection, and manifestation of the sons of God as it is revealed within the ministry of the 144,000. If we a moving into this time in the divine plan, then perhaps it is reasonable to expect that we will see more changes being revealed, or put another way there will be more Mandela Effects happening. Prepare yourself. The birthing of this 144,000 will not come without some intense labour pains.

The law and the prophets were until John, Luke 16:16. His life signaled a change. Jesus said, “Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he, Matthew 11:11. Greater than John. Perhaps, when the 144,000 arrive we might expect even greater changes within the law and the prophets than were witnessed when John arrived over 2000 years ago.

"He that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful," Revelation 21:5.

The law and the prophets were until, but only until, they had served their purpose. The scriptures will not pass away “Till all be fulfilled, Matthew 5:18.”

The scriptures can change when the seed who is “the all” is come, and then pass away when ”the all” is fulfilled. Jesus said, "It is I who am the all," Thomas 77. Paul put it this way, "Christ is all, and in all." When Jesus who is the all is fulfilled then the scriptures can pass away. When does this happen? When does the seed reach its full expression? Jesus is the fulness of God, Colossians 2:9. He is the perfect expression of God, Colossians 1:15. We see that the Law and the prophets were fulfilled in the life of Christ. Following this pattern, we are the fulness of Christ who is the all and in all, Ephesians 1:23. Like a voice in the wilderness, we can become the ambassadors and full expression of Christ. However Jesus said, "If one who knows the all still feels a personal deficiency, he is completely deficient." Thomas 67.

Nevertheless, despite our weaknesses, still, we are "His body, the fulness of him that filleth all," Ephesians 1:23. The seed will continue to work in creation "Till we all come... unto... the fulness of Christ," Ephesians 4:13. Till all be fulfilled, in God, in Christ, in us, and in all creation. If you can see it, the time is coming, and now is.

But before the resurrection there needs to be a death.

Becoming perfect, and complete is not accomplished by the will of the flesh. It is in the power of the seed producing within us this perfection, completion, fulfillment, and the desire to become like Christ. It produces within us the desire to forsake all, to take up the cross, to embrace whatever suffering follows, that we might know Christ, and attain to the resurrection of the dead.

The law was given till the seed should come. Jesus comes in many different times and ways. Jesus came as a baby. Jesus came to the apostles calling them to the work, 1 Corinthians 9:1. And he promises to come again, John 14:3. Clearly Christ's coming is not just a past and future event. It is an ongoing present event. “Whoever confesses that Jesus is come in the flesh is of God,” 1 John 4;2.

Paul wrote of his desire to see the perfection of the seed accomplish its working in his own life. He writes “what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. Philippians 3:12. Not as though I had already attained, either were already PERFECT: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus,” Philippians 3:7-14.

Paul mentions dung, or manure. Throwing the manure away, and onto the ground, may provide a more fertile soil for the growth of the seed within us, that we too might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.

Many are still waiting for the coming of Christ and the resurrection. And “It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD,” Lamentations 3:26. However, while waiting for this salvation, his disciples asked Jesus,"When will the repose of the dead come“ and "When will the kingdom come?" Jesus surprised them by answering, "It will not come by (passively) waiting for it,” Thomas 113. Jesus said, “The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live," John 5:25. Paul describes the resurrection with the terminology of a sower, a seed, and a harvest, 1 Corinthians 15:37.

Many are expecting the coming of Christ and the resurrection to be a one time event, but seed time and harvest are reoccurring events. The coming of the seed is a time that is coming, and yet now is, John 4:35. This is an ongoing work, a progressively increasing work that culminates in a harvest of the earth, Revelation 14. “Every man in his own order,” until even death itself is destroyed. 1 Corinthians 15:22, 23-28.

This was Paul's experience. Paul saw Jesus and heard his voice on the road to Damascus, and was changed.

And yet, ever since the day when Paul saw Christ, he continued to count all things but loss... (to be) made conformable to Christ's death; If by any means (he) might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. Philippians 3:12. Paul was motivated to put the old to death, striving for perfection.

This is the power of the seed working in a life. The law is established when it is written on our hearts and fulfilled in us by faith working through love. When this happens then the written statutes have served there purpose, and Then that which is in part shall be done away. Romans 3:31, 2 Corinthians 3:3, Romans 8:4, Galatians 5:6,

The Law and the Prophets were weak, incomplete and temporal. In contrast, Jesus said of his own gospel, "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away," Matthew 24:35, Mark 13:31, Luke 21:33. Jesus and his sayings, they are the seed which has come. There are temporal Gospels and letters written for specific peoples and times. And there is an everlasting gospel, the sayings which Jesus gave which shall be to all peoples, Revelation 14:6. Be thinking about this.

This perfect seed is returning, and this perfect message is being restored to the earth. In the beginning was the word, and the message was with God, and the message was divine. The perfect is that which is mature and complete, lacking nothing, eternal in the heavens. And It is the perfect that makes perfect. Be thinking about this.

There is a proper spirit with which to approach the scriptures. Prophecy is only understood properly when it is interpreted with the chief cornerstone on which it is built. "No prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost," 2 Peter 1:20-21.

When those things that can be shaken have been shaken, then the old prophecies will fail falling helplessly to the ground, and then the old law will vanish away, and this will happen after they have served their purpose. For when that which is perfect is come, then there is a new creation, the old is changed, and all things are made new.

Yes, the scriptures can change, but only after God has accomplished his purposes with and through them first. If the scriptures are changing, then this is very good news. It means that the plan of God is moving forward.

If the scriptures are changing we need to be asking, “Why?” Is this necessarily the devil, or is this perhaps an unfolding of the plan of God, and a restoration of truth. Perhaps both a restoration and a deception are happening at the same time. Since ”the antichrist and the false prophet” appear on the seen at the same time as the “two witnesses from God, both of whom display signs and wonders, then maybe going forward we will need discernment to determine which is which.

A restoration is coming to help us deal with the ongoing deception of Mystery Babylon. Perhaps, the chief cornerstone, Christ and his message, is being restored, and is once again becoming one with the foundation, which is the apostles and prophets and their message. We need to be watching for this restoration just as much as we need to be aware of the antichrist and the false prophet.

These two witnesses are likely corporate companies of saints, perhaps typified by Moses and Elijah, Revelation 11:3-6. These companies are called the two candlesticks and the two olive trees. The Moses company likely brings judgment down upon Mystery Babylon. The Elijah company restores the truth and power needed to establish the new kingdom, preparing the way for the return of Jesus. The antichrist and the false prophet will likely have their followers as well. Which side and which company will you be in?

If there are changes within the scriptures then these are the scriptures we need to be studying in this hour. When it is God at work restoring truth, then these changes could be signs that we will need to interpret in order to understand the message of the hour, and also to discern the times we are in. And even when it is the Devil exercising his authority, and he means it for evil, still God will use it for our good, Genesis 50:20, Romans 8:28. We will not be ignorant of his plans or his devices. Either way, when and if you see a change, know that this is a message for you.

Even if the devil should exercise his authority, do not be dismayed. "For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, (or out of the book that promises life) and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book," Revelation 22:18-19. This is the patience of the saints.

This is a great mystery, and the purpose and content of this article. If the temporal scriptures spoken by the apostles and prophets are really changing, then we will need discernment. We must not have a knee jerk reaction. It may take some time to sort this out. I would encourage the saints to begin to study relevant passages.

We need to be patient, tenderhearted toward one another as each one of us gains his bearings. For many this has been a time of tribulation, and the tribulation may become a great tribulation. But take heart. We are being strengthened in the inner man, like Jesus who was led into the wilderness to face the devil, the angels will come to us to minister to us. Like Jesus, you too will be comforted.

For like Jesus, you too are being prepared to face a most difficult test.

In the beginning, even the heavenly angelic visitations are usually unsettling. For this reason, the scriptural exhortation to “Fear not” is perhaps the most common angelic salutation. Like most things supernatural, at first, the Mandela Effect was also very terrifying. Carried away and bewildered, many saints are still suffering, feeling solitary and alone. Awakening to the truth can be a very painful process, even with the angelic help.

However, we must not become discouraged in well doing, Galatians 6:9. This is all a part of the divine plan. It is our preparation. This is a necessary step, in the step by step process and in the struggle that we all must face. God is looking for kindhearted people to whom he can entrust His kingdom. In your personal Mandela Effect journey have you been seeking, and troubled, and astonished? Take heart. This agitation and amazement is not unusual, and comes with an noteworthy promise. Jesus said, "Let him who seeks continue seeking until he finds. When he finds, he will become troubled. When he becomes troubled, he will be astonished, and he will rule over the All, (and reigning he will have rest)," Thomas 2. Let us therefore labour to enter into that rest, Hebrews 4:11. Let us get our hearts ready. It is through much suffering that we must enter the kingdom, Acts 14:22.

Increasingly, many of us are seeing a divine hand in and behind and through everything that is happening. For many of us the Mandela changes have been a sign and a warning that is waking us from our slumber, Romans 13:11. And we are grateful. We know now that it is well past the time to get ourselves prepared. For the elect, this is an intensely serious matter. Jesus put it this way, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand, (it is within reach, make two into one): repent ye, and believe the gospel," Mark 1:15. Many of us are now seeing the invisible Hand moving behind the scenes. We are so grateful because for many of us, when we first started to awaken this invisible hand was hidden from us.

Sometimes when we speak of revelation unfolding, it must be with fear and trembling. We must remember to treat those who are asking questions with meekness and respect, approaching difficult or hidden spiritual matters in a humble manner. But still we must be ready to give an answer, 1 Peter 3:15. These articles are my answer. It is my humble attempt to express to others the divine intervention I see behind the changes that are happening, and that may yet still be coming. I believe that the changes that are being seen are a part of The Unveiling of Jesus Christ described in The Book of Revelation. This is my experience. This unveiling is an ongoing event, Acts 9:4-9, 1 Timothy 1:16. Eventually, every eye will see him, and when we see him, we will be changed to be like him, Revelation 1:7, 1 John 3:2. What we are seeing now is a privilege. I hope to explain this in detail.

My prayer has been that I might see Jesus in everything, and that I might see all things made new. If any man be in Christ, or whenever any man is made perfect, then there is a new creation, and the old is changed into that which is made new.

I am sure I am speaking for many when I say, “Our hearts plea is for mercy and grace.” I love the words of an old hymn.

Oh! for the peace of a perfect trust
That looks away from all,
Yet sees thy hand in everything,
In great events and small.

That hears Thy voice – a father's voice -
Directing for the best;
Oh! for the peace of a perfect trust -
A heart with thee at rest.

Our hearts can be at rest. We can choose to focus on the plan of God, and the work of Jesus within all creation. Jesus is Lord. The rest is just distraction. What is causing the Mandela Effect? I am picking a side. God is at work through Jesus, and we are his hands, and his feet.

Let's Look at the Scriptures

The previous articles discussed the connection between the Mandela Effect and the message of Jesus in The Gospel of Thomas.

This article will examine and focus upon the relationship between the Mandela Effect and The Canon of Scripture.

Anyone notice any changes in The Canon Logo. Many of the Affected do not remember The Canon Camera Logo being like it is now. The hook on the letter "C" and the elongated center of the letter "O" seems new and different than the memory of many of the effected. Changes like these could be providing spiritual direction for the elect.

Could this be a simple sign suggesting that the affected take a look into the canon of the scriptures for answers. Perhaps, it is now high time to awake out of sleep, to open our eyes, and to begin to investigate the Mandela Effects using the related messages found within the books of the Bible. If the Mandela Effect is a supernatural event, then with the Spirit guiding us into all truth and showing us things to come, there is no better place to be looking for answers.

The Famine of the Word of God and The Restoration of The Scroll

There are many within the Mandela Affected community talking about a famine of the word of God. An end time restoration implies that we have already suffered a loss.

Amos prophesied, "Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD: And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it," Amos 8:11-12.

Jesus spoke of a similar day, "Many times have you desired to hear these words which I am saying to you, and you have no one else to hear them from. There will be days when you will look for me and will not find me," Thomas 38.

Jesus said, "Show me the stone (or Jesus and his teachings) which the builders have rejected. That one is the cornerstone," Thomas 66. It is the chief cornerstone that was rejected that gives strength and stability to the foundation.

Jesus prophesied of a day when we would not be able to hear his sayings. A day when these words that he spoke would be rejected and hidden from us. There would be no where we could go, and no one we could go to, if we wanted to hear these sayings. This came to pass. The original gospel of Christ was hidden for centuries, Luke 11:52, Thomas 39. Many of us have spent our lives looking for him and his original message, and have not been able to hear it from anyone. That is going to change. Now that his Gospel seed is being restored, the prophesied famine of the word of God may finally be coming to an end. And yet, we can still expect a futile and short lived opposition from the enemy as he finally sees his his own Babylonian kingdom maturing, but then crumbling.

Knowing that his time is short he will come down having great wrath. He may attempt to destroy the scriptural foundation provided by the apostles and prophets, Ephesians 2:20. However, now that the testimony of the chief cornerstone is being restored his efforts will be in vain.

The story of Job provides a valuable lesson. Anything Satan attempts to steal or destroy will be restored, and then some, Job 42:12. Previous articles proposed that the restoration of The Everlasting Gospel of Christ is now happening. The Gospel of Thomas was introduced. The good news is that Elijah comes to bring about a restoration of all the things that were lost, Acts 3:21. This complete restitution occurs before the end, preparing the bride, and preparing the way for the arrival of Christ, Matthew 17:11, Revelation 11:3,6.

Elijah is a key figure in this restoration. Jesus taught that "All the prophets and the law prophesied until John. And if ye will receive it, this is Elijah, which was for to come, Matthew 11:13-14, Luke 16:16. This is a prophecy that may see a dual fulfillment, once in part at Christ's first coming, and once in full when he returns. Once in part in the life of John the Baptist preparing the way of the Lord as one crying in the desert, Matthew 3:3. And once in full, restoring all things, preparing the way for Christ and his message to return once again, Revelation 11:3,6, James 5:17.

There will be a showdown between the end-time prophets who bring this restoration, and the antichrist system of oppression who will attempt to shut it all down.

The law and the prophets were just a shadow of the true body of Jesus which is to come. When heaven and earth pass away and are made new, then the law and the prophets will have served their purpose, and they too can pass away, and be made new. This is the great mystery that we are discussing, and it may require of us a clearer vision if we are wanting to see what God is doing in this day. Let's consider for the moment the plight of humankind.

We are in desperate need of help, and in desperate need of the restored truth these prophets will give to us. Only with the help of Christ will we find our way home.

A Study of the nature of the scriptures

Let's start with a simple illustration about the scriptures and see where it takes us. The scriptures are spiritual and the words of Jesus, they are spirit.

Some spiritual mysteries can be seen mirrored in the natural realm. This is why parables are often so useful. The natural which can be seen can be used to explain the spiritual which is not seen. However, the most secret and hidden realities are clearly seen only by comparing, and combining and joining together spiritual with spiritual. For this reason, they are not readily discerned by the natural man, 1 Corinthians 2:13. However, many of the saints are now awakening, and they are beginning to see: Every man in his own order.

Jesus is a parable. Jesus is the word made flesh. The body, and spirit of Jesus is a bit like the body, and spirit of the scriptures. In the case of the scriptures, the body is the written text scribed by men. The spirit is the word spoken by God through Jesus. Jesus said his words are Spirit, and they are life, John 6:63.

The Body without the spirit is dead, James 2:26. When there is a separation of body and spirit there is a death.

The scribes and the pharisees attempted to remove and hide both Jesus and his message. On the cross, Jesus said, “Father into thy hands I commend my spirit,” and he gave up the ghost. And he died. When Jesus and his words were taken away, and hidden then it was like there was a death, even of the written texts. "Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.," Luke 11:52. The text written and scribed by men is the body. Without the words of Jesus which is like the spirit, even within the body of the scriptures, it is like there is a death. It is sometimes said that the letter without the spirit is dead being alone. Without the words of Jesus, even the scriptures written by the apostles and prophets do experience a kind of death.

Jesus said his words are Spirit, and they are life, John 6:63. Jesus words are the spirit. The words of Jesus as we find them in the Gospel of Thomas are the spirit and the life of the scriptures. They are the chief cornerstone on which the foundation of the apostles and prophets were built. Without the sayings of Jesus even the canonical scriptures themselves do not produce the life that was intended.

Without the sayings of Jesus in his original Gospel the church has been in disarray for centuries.

The life of Jesus was a parable of the word. He was the word made flesh.

The earthly body of Jesus was ripped and torn and pierced, suffered a death, and was raised again in heavenly glory. In a similar way like Jesus, the physical body of the scriptures, (the law and the prophets) can be mutilated, ripped and torn, and they too must be blotted out. But this is not the end.

Standing alone, the Law and the Prophets were weak, incomplete and temporal. In contrast to this weakness, Jesus said, "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away," Matthew 24:35, Mark 13:31, Luke 21:33. His words are spirit and they are life. That which has been joined to Jesus and his words, even if it is destroyed, will also be made new.

There are temporal Gospels which pass away, written for specific peoples and times. And there is an everlasting gospel which Christ gave which shall be to all peoples, Revelation 14:6. Be thinking about this.

When Jesus died, God dealt with an incomplete revelation, a legal system “that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross”... "Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances... Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ," Colossians 2:14-17. "For the (old) law having (only) a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never... make the comers thereunto perfect," Hebrews 10:1. And we must be made perfect, made into manifest sons of God. The old must be destroyed in order to be made new. “There is made of necessity a change also of the law,” Hebrews 7:12. It must be changed, and made new and perfect through a death and then a resurrection.

In the resurrection, body and spirit are reunited. This is the pattern both with Christ and also with the scriptures.

There must be a restoration. When Christ enters into our realm, light enters into darkness. And everything changes.

It is the body that is the fulness and the completion of all things, or the fulfillment of Christ, even as the message of Jesus is the fulness, completion and fulfillment of the law and the prophets.

The scriptures penned by men and written with ink are incomplete, even as the bride without the groom, and the earth without heaven. The two must be made one. And so, the Word must be written on our hearts by the Spirit. Jesus said his words are Spirit, John 6:63. The veil must be rent in twain, that the two might be made one, Hebrews 4:12.

The Revelation is Unfolding like a Scroll in the Hand of an Angel, Revelation 10:2.

The veil must be rent in twain, that the two might be made one, Hebrews 4:12. The Earth is changed when joined with Heaven. The Bride is changed when she is joined to the Bridegroom. The Law and the Prophets are changed when joined with this little book, the message of Jesus. The two must be made one. This happens within the body when these things are written on our hearts by the spirit. We become the letter and the book known and read of all men, 2 Corinthians 3:2. The kingdom doesn't come by waiting for it, Thomas 113. Make the two into One. When you make the two one then you will enter the kingdom, Thomas 22, 106.

Jesus said his words are Spirit, John 6:63. The law merely served as an example and shadow of heavenly things, Hebrews 8:3-6. Christ is the all. The body is of Christ. Like three loves of bread, Christ's body was a type and figure of the Church, and of the whole earth or the worlds, Matthew 13:33. Love is the fulfillment of the law when it is lived out within this body. The law can pass away as it is lived out within the body on these multiple levels, as the ages roll. And so, if any man be in Christ there is a new creation. All things are made new. When we begin to see these new things the angels are rejoicing.

Generally, people like to hold onto the old and familiar, but their true and greatest benefit can only be experienced when they are joined, consummated, destroyed, transformed and recreated into something new.

"But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men, But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is long-suffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance," 2 Peter 3:7, 8-13.

This is one of the great purposes of the fires of judgment and the millennium. “They will repent,” Thomas 28, Revelation 7:9,14.

"But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness," 2 Peter 3:7, 8-13.

Ultimately, it is not fulfilling to take bits and pieces from both old and new, Mathew 13:52. The veil must be torn completely from top to bottom making all things new.

Jesus said, "It is impossible for a man to mount two horses or to stretch two bows. And it is impossible for a servant to serve two masters; otherwise, he will honor the one and treat the other contemptuously. No man drinks old wine and immediately desires to drink new wine. And new wine is not put into old wineskins, lest they burst; nor is old wine put into a new wineskin, lest it spoil it. An old patch is not sewn onto a new garment, because a tear would result," Thomas 47, New Wine must be put into New Bottles.

"For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof... And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death... so... Jesus (was) made a surety of a better testament... (And) this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood... For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, (or the promise of life which is in the Gospel of Christ) which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore," Hebrews 7:15, 18,22,23,24,28, Thomas 1.

The law spoken by the prophets was weak and unprofitable, but the Word of God spoken by the Son is quick and powerful, Hebrews 1:1-2, Hebrews 4:12.

And so now, many people understand that the law was changed and dis-annulled. The handwriting of ordinances against us is already blotted out. Through the Mandela effects that are being seen the affected are being prepared for even greater changes. The old is now ready to completely “vanish away,” 1 Corinthians 13:8, Hebrews 8:13.

"Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger," Luke 2:10-12, Isaiah 11:6, Revelation 12:5.

Christ came as a pattern of that which was to come, and that which was to be perfected.

Christ came as “the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises,” better promises of life which shall be to all people," Hebrews 8:3-6.

Jesus said, "Whoever finds the interpretation of these sayings will not experience death," Thomas 1.

Perhaps, given the changes that people are seeing, it is time to bring into the light a scriptural teaching that is hard to speak about. When Christ began to declare this destruction of and change in the law, then the Jewish leaders sought to put him to death not realizing that it was through the cross that they would bring about the fulfillment of the very teaching that Christ was proclaiming, 1 Corinthians 2:7-8. Again, is this a type and figure of that which is to come?

It was this teaching of Christ about the temple and the law that got him crucified. For example, "the Jews (persecuted) Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had (healed the sick) on the sabbath day. But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work. Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him,” John 5:16-18. The Jewish leaders continued to conspire against Jesus. “The chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death; But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses, And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days,” Matthew 26:59-61. What Jesus actually said was, "I shall destroy this house, and no one will be able to build it,” Thomas 71.

In the beginning there were two false witnesses. At the time of the end there will be two true witnesses.

Until and when all is fulfilled, then will heaven and earth pass away, and then will the law, and the old covenant, and the need for the temple all vanish away. This had a partial fulfillment through the lives of John and Jesus the first time they came. The law and the prophets lost much of their force and power at that time. The time we are now experiencing is a period of transition. Perhaps, we will gradually see the complete abolition and vanishing away of the law and the prophets when Jesus and John (or Elijah) return again.

"For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John,” Matthew 11:13, Luke 16:16. Jesus said, "Among those born of women, from Adam until John the Baptist, there is no one so superior to John the Baptist that his eyes should not be lowered (before him). Yet I have said, whichever one of you comes to be a child will be acquainted with the kingdom and will become superior to John," Thomas 46. Again, "Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he," Matthew 11:11. He that is least in the kingdom is greater than John, 1 Corinthians 15:9. “And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, to execute judgment upon all,” Jude 14. What kind of changes should we expect when these, who are the least, and yet are greater than John, arrive on the seen? On some have compassion, Jude 22. "Know ye not that we shall judge angels?" 1 Corinthians 6:3. Again, these will be greater than John, who signaled the end of the law. What will it be like when these arrive? 1 Peter 3:3, Jude 1:18, 1 Peter 4:6.

Some things are indeed hard to be uttered, and we often must express truth, step by step, as the ages pass, as people are able to hear, and build brick by brick upon the foundation that has already been laid.

As difficult as it was, the writer to the Hebrews attempted to explain the changes in the law that happened the first time that Christ came. The law had to change because the priests kept dying. Christ brought a new covenant with a promise of life, Thomas 1. This Gospel produced a change in administration, and therefore there was a change in the law. He writes, "For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law,” Hebrews 7:12.

The law changed when the seed which is the word of God came and produced the change.

The law changed when the old covenant ended and new covenant came into effect. The penalty of the curse of the law was dealt with through Christ and his death on the cross. And so now at this time, because of this change that happened centuries ago, the pain and sufferings that so many now experience is no longer the result of their sin. This is one of the changes in the law that occurred when Christ came the first time. However, this time when Christ comes again, the change will be even more dramatic. "There shall be no more curse" at all, Revelation 22:3. Not only will the penalty of the curse be removed, but even the curse itself shall be destroyed. "God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away," Revelation 21:4. The time is coming when God will forget the past, but not only so, he also tells us to forget saying, "Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old," Isaiah 43:18. Comfort one another with these things.

This is a progressive step by step process. The life of Christ, from his first coming to his final coming, was a transition period between the old and the new. At the time of Christ the old writings were still intact, but this will not always be the case. However, there needs to be a time of transition, from the old to the new. Until eventually, when all is fulfilled and when heaven and earth pass away, then the old covenant completely vanishes away, and is replaced, and the new will be completely established.

The New Covenant is EVEN NOW being restored to the earth.

"For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest. For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more. In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away," Heb 8:10-13.

The Old Covenant is replaced by a Living Seed. The New Covenant is Ratified Through the Cross

"And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven... And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly," 1 Corinthians 15:45-49. He "shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself," Philippians 3:21. The first and the last must be made one and the same. This is the incarnation, the death, and the resurrection of “the all” gathered together into Christ.

Just as the first coming of Christ, and the crucifixion on the cross reached forward and back through all time touching all humanity and all creation, so also but in greater measure, this Coming of Christ to establish his kingdom will reach back through all time transforming all things, even things present, and things to come, and make all things new.

The effects of time will not survive the incarnation of eternity. Some have called this retro-causality, but it might be more appropriate to call this an incarnational causality. As the seed enters into lives, and grows, there is a new creation.

Everything will change, as we are changed to be like him, and as we learn to live like him. Just as it was at his first coming, this next transition will begin with the appearance of Elijah (or John) who will restore the message, and like a seed that grows, it will prepare the way for the return of Christ once again, Revelation 11:3, 6. Elijah will decrease, that Christ may increase.

Jesus is the alpha and the omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. When you make the two one you will enter the kingdom. You do not have to wait. There is a retro-causality. Jesus, and his body, and the all that is gathered into the body will be that which was, and that which is, and that which is to come, Revelation 1:8, 13. He that is joined to the Lord is one spirit, 1 Corinthians 6:17. If any man be in Christ, a hand in the place of a hand, and a foot in the place a foot, and a likeness in the place of a likeness then there is a new creation, 2 Corinthians 5:17, Thomas 22. When we take up the cross, then we will become like him and liberate creation, Romans 8:21. So many are aware that the antichrist and the great deception must come before the return of Christ, and that he that is joined to the harlot is one body, but so few realize that the prophets must also come at the same time, restoring all things, and establishing the kingdom. Like a bride without spot or wrinkle, Church get ready. “The prophets will come to you and give you those things (which) you (already) have,” Thomas 88. And you will be changed.

The Vital Difference Between the Scriptures and The Sayings of Christ

"God... spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, (but) hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son," Hebrews 1:1-2.

This temporary nature of the Law and the Prophets were in direct contrast to the everlasting nature of the sayings of Jesus. The words of the law and the prophets were only until the seed came, and only until they were fulfilled, and only until the heaven and earth passed away. In contrast to the temporary nature of the Law and the prophets, Jesus said, "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away," Matthew 24:35, Mark 13:31, Luke 21:33, Matthew 5:18. This is the essential nature of Jesus' words, and the inherent quality of The Everlasting Gospel. This is the nature of the little book that John in his revelation prophesied about.

Only that which is joined together, perfected, and made complete by that which is eternal will last. That is why this little book is so very, very important, especially to the end time elect. The temporal and the old will pass away, and be forgotten to make way for the new and everlasting. But that which is joined to the new and living, to that which is spirit and life, will also be given new life. The Bride is changed when she is joined to the Bridegroom. The Earth is changed when joined with Heaven. The Law and the Prophets are changed when joined with this little book, the message of Jesus. The kingdom doesn't come by waiting for it, Thomas 113. When you make the two one then you will enter the kingdom, Thomas 22, 106.

Again I say, spiritual mysteries can be seen mirrored in the natural realm. However, when the secret and hidden realities are seen only by comparing, and combining and joining together spiritual with spiritual, they are not readily discerned by the natural man, 1 Corinthians 2:13.

Paul said, "We know that the law is spiritual," Romans 7:14.

Jesus said “The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life,” John 6:63.

The Spirit of God teaches us to combine and join together spiritual with spiritual to receive the things that are given to us from God, 1 Corinthians 2:10-13.

When you make the two one then you will enter the kingdom, Thomas 22, 106.

When we join the scriptures to the words of Jesus they will be changed. Join the Canonical Scriptures together with the Words of Jesus. Dearly beloved, this can be done simply by placing the scrolling texts of the canonical scriptures side by side with the little scroll known as The Gospel of Thomas. Just as the bride is perfected by the bridegroom, so also the apostolic and prophetic texts are perfected, completed or fulfilled by their joining together with the sayings of Jesus in The Gospel of Thomas.

One example of this is seen in the joining together of the side by side scrolling texts of The Song of Solomon and The Gospel of Thomas. The symmetry of the Chiastic structures of these two texts, and their joining together, can illustrate the marriage of two bodies of text, like the marriage of the bride and bridegroom.

The reader may view this symmetry and this joining together and this completion by visiting

The Gospel of Thomas Side by Side with Song of Solomon or/and

And The Chiasmic Marriage of The Gospel and The Song.

This is not an academic exercise. Pursue Fellowship and Discover Intimacy with the Christ and God through The Gospel of the Living Jesus and this Song of Peace. Two Become One. Consider the Marriage of Spirit and Body, of Solomon and Shulamite, of Christ and the Church, of God and Humanity, and even of spiritual text with spiritual text.

Together, the Gospel and the Song are placed side by side. Like an extended parable, by comparing and contrasting these two corresponding texts, the intimacy between Solomon and the Shulamite becomes an illustration of the love between Jesus and those who follow him in His way. Side by side with key word connections, verse by verse and phrase by phrase, the longing and love between Solomon and the Shulamite reveals the relationship between Jesus and His Disciples, like the love between a bridegroom and his bride.

Much like this marriage, other Biblical texts can also be merged together with the words and sayings of Jesus found in The Gospel of Thomas. The words which came through men which die, can now be joined to the Message of Jesus, which alone is spirit and life, and which do not pass away.

In the scriptures The Two Sided Chiastic Structure of The Gospel of Thomas, which is called The Word of God is described as the two-edged sword of the Spirit which is living and active, Hebrews 4:12. It is This sword coming out of the mouth of Jesus which can cut through the divisions which cause death, thereby giving life, Revelation 1:16, Revelation 19:15,21. It is this sword which will defeat the antichrist, 2 Thessalonian 2:8.

I would encourage those saints who are so inclined, search and study The Gospel of Thomas. It is so much more than we have been told. Mystery Babylon has lied to us. Begin joining texts together to gain a more “complete understanding. Side by side, join the Pauline letters together. Join Peter's letters together. Join John's writings together. Merge the gospels together in this way. And merge all of these books together with the one book which is itself spirit and life: The Gospel of Jesus, which is today known as The Gospel of Thomas. This gospel of the kingdom must be preached among all nations, and then shall the end come, Mark 13:10.

The Little Book with The Sayings of Jesus: They are Spirit and They are Life

Let's consider this book just for a moment. The Thomas prologue begins, "These are the mysterious sayings which the living Jesus spoke." This suggests that Christ is the originator of this Gospel and that it was merely written down or scribed by Thomas. Acknowledging this collaboration, the apostles appear to have relied heavily upon this unique gospel, this Original Gospel authored by Christ, considering phrase by phrase the words of Jesus as they wrote their own writings. This becomes most evident by placing side by side the scrolling text of "The Gospel of Thomas" together with the scrolling texts of the various apostolic writings. Amazing sequential similarities in thought, word, and rhetoric become plainly visible. The Gospel of Jesus can be placed side by side and joined together, for example, with the Gospel of Mark for a clearer insight into both gospels.

We can join the spirit to the body of the scriptures, and thereby restore the life and power of the message.

By aligning and combining the sayings of Jesus within The Gospel of Thomas together with the New Testament apostolic writings we "make the two into one." This is the basis for this Gospel of Thomas - New Testament Cross Reference Study. The primary point of all this demonstrable harmony and dependence is that it helps us to see that this gospel is the message of the Seed who changes everything.

It also suggests that The Gospel of Thomas provides the right spirit with which to approach the New Testament. In the past, the Gospel of Thomas was sometimes understood as just a list of 114 sayings of Jesus, but it is so much more. This Word of Jesus, or "the Testimony of Jesus, is the spirit of prophecy." It is these words and this Spirit that moved men to speak and to write the scriptures to be in agreement with the divine intention. Jesus said, "The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit." And "Holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Spirit." It is this Revelation of Jesus Christ, the original Gospel, this spiritual message which inspired the New Testament writings. This Testimony of Jesus is the very Rock and Chief Cornerstone the apostles used to create their own writings, the gospels and the letters of the New Testament. And so in like manner, it will be seen that it is His Spirit and His Sayings which provide the proper foundation upon which to rightly divide the word of truth, and so also to rightly understand the New Testament.

The New Testament will be seen to be an expansive commentary on this Gospel of Thomas, and of this Testimony of Jesus. With such insight, the many canonical references to "The Gospel of Christ", "The Testimony of Jesus", "The Doctrine of Christ", "His Sayings", "The Preaching of Jesus Christ", "The Gospel of God", "The Word of God", "The Revelation of Jesus Christ", "The Everlasting Gospel", and even just "The Gospel" could all reasonably be direct references, and sometimes even veiled references to "The Gospel of Thomas"

Thomas refers to this gospel as the secret sayings of the living Jesus. Though presented openly to all who might listen, this gospel appears to be a more spiritually minded message with hidden insights for those who will seek diligently, and is tailored primarily for those who forsake all to follow Christ. Jesus delivered this "Original Gospel" to those closest to him, and to those who walked with him in His Way. Later James, Paul, Peter, and John appear to create their own letters following the pattern provided to them by Jesus within this gospel. The New Testament is the apostles applying this Preaching of Jesus Christ to the circumstances of their own communities.

A careful examination shows that they chose to join their own writings to the sayings of Jesus: Saying by saying, and key word by key word. It is time to recover this understanding.

Rediscovering the interconnection between texts, and this meditative approach to the study of the scriptures may become especially useful in the coming years. Make the two one. For example, by comparing side by side scrolling texts of The Book of Revelation and The Book of Daniel the end-time elect and the affected will understand truth that has been kept hidden for such a time as this. Use the key and enter into the kingdom.

When the scriptures are reunited, then there is a new insight, 
and a change, and then there is a fulfillment.

Using the key word connections, discover the allegorical and metaphorical clues intentionally embedded within the message of the text. Using The Key, unlock the inner meanings of both the New Testament, and of Thomas.

Joining the texts together begin to make all things new. Normally, we understand “fulfilled” to mean that certain events have come to pass. Of course this is legitimate, but I wanted to emphasize a different meaning of the word. By joining two into one, they are perfected, completed, or fulfilled as in lacking nothing. The popular phrase “You complete me.” perhaps illustrates this meaning most perfectly. Paul wrote, "He that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit," 1 Corinthians 6:17 and "Ye are complete in him," Colossians 2:10. But Jesus said, "If one who knows the all (or if one who knows Jesus) still feels a personal deficiency, he is completely deficient," Thomas 67. If you are feeling deficient then make the two one, and become complete. This message of completion, of two becoming one, happens through a marriage, but first there must be a reconciliation.

A Reconciliation and A Marriage.

The Mandela Effect changes that people are seeing may be pointing the elect to the gospel seed in a nutshell. It is a message of reconciliation: “Make the Two One,” Thomas 22, 106. We are being given an opportunity to discern the message that may not have been so prominent previously, and may not have been seen so clearly before.

"The Lion and The Lamb" and "The Wolf and The Lamb" Isaiah 11:6.

Here is Isaiah 11:6 as it now is, and the text as many remember it.

If the scriptures are being changed, and some youtubers are providing strong residual evidence of this alternate memory, then what could this mean? And what could be the cause? If the scriptures are changing, then as we have done, why not look to the scriptures for answers.

When Christ came, he brought a new message preparing people to transition into a new age of grace. To do this he often quoted Old Testament scriptures, but sometimes with subtle differences to bring out and emphasize new and specific nuances that had been missed by the culture of the day. This was not understood as a corruption of the text, but rather as a clearer expression and a fuller application of it. Following Christ's example, when quoting an Old Testament text, the apostles would adapt the text to fit the context of the message the Holy Spirit was giving them to communicate in their own writings. We might ask, "Could God be doing something similar again today? Is this happening again as we approach the end of the age, and as we are preparing once again for something new?"

For example, many remember "The Lion shall lay down with the lamb." In the popular religious culture “The Lion and the Lamb” has been used primarily as an illustration of the marriage of the Bridegroom and the Bride. Such an interpretation is not necessarily wrong, but it does not convey the fuller meaning of the text.

Today this passage now declares “The wolf shall dwell with the lamb,” Isaiah 11:6. This current reading dramatically illustrates and spotlights the reconciliation of enemies. This is because the church clearly understands that the wolf is an enemy. And so, in this way, this reading re-introduces the proper emphasis on The Reconciliation of enemies. Even on a universal scale all things are now being, and will be, reunited and reconciled into the One body, Ephesians 1:10, Colossians 1:20.

The passage now reminds the elect not only of the millennial kingdom, but also of another time when the animals did not eat one another. Before the time of the fall of man there was no indication of such violence and such death. The elect are being given a chance to reconsider Genesis 1 not only to understand the Mandela Effect, but also to see what is coming up ahead. The end shall be as the beginning, Thomas 18. This is all a part of the present day truth that is being re-established and restored through the revealing of The Gospel of Thomas.

As was mentioned, in the past Christ quoted the Old Testament scriptures, but often introduced subtle differences to emphasize specific nuances in the message to prepare his followers. Some of the affected may now be asking the question, “Is this happening again today?” Is he once again moving us from one age into the next? Is the old passing away, but now in a much more dramatic fashion? He alone has the right to open the scroll, and to loose the seals thereof, Revelation 5:4-5.

There have been many helpful voices leading us to this day. There have been many gospels, and many letters, and many prophecies that have brought us to this precipice. Now it is time for us to learn to fly. There is only One God, and One message. All these voices need to be brought to completion, being made perfect, and then fulfilled. The prophetic writings must once again be joined together with the message of Christ so that these messages become one perfect message of love.

"Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away,

(Have you noticed that the knowledge that people once knew to be true is vanishing away? And disappearing)

For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away," 1 Corinthians 13:8-10. "In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away," Hebrews 8:13.

The disciples asked Jesus, “When will this all happen.” It is already here, Thomas 51. But the fuller revealing, and the final period of transition begins when the seventh angel begins to sound, Revelation 10:7. There are seven angels or seven messengers over the seven churches, perhaps referring to seven periods of time within the church age. Time itself begins to change when the seventh angel begins to whisper this final message to those with ears to hear, to those who are being made perfect, Revelation 10:6.

What is this message that changes everything. “He had in his hand a little book open... (or a little scroll) And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices... "And (he) sware by Him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer: But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets," Revelation 10:6-7.

This mystery, or the administration of this mystery which is finished when the seven thunders speak, can be summarized most simply with the phrase, “by him all things consist,” Colossians 1:17, Ephesians 1:10. There shall be an end, and the end shall be as the beginning.

Behold, The Mystery of Christ

Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 1 Corinthians 15:51.

The Mandela Effects are signs preparing the elect for the bigger changes that are just around the corner. Like a love song from the Father Keith Whitley sings "Don't Close Your Eyes.” Many of the affected remember the old lyrics as "Darling just once, let yesterday go, And you'll find more love than you'll ever know. However, the lyrics have now become "Darling just once, let yesterday go, And you'll find more love than you've ever known.

Can you hear the Father reminding us that knowledge and prophecy and scripture are all bringing us to a day when we will understand love. This is the new covenant: Love will be written on our heart. "Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law," Romans 13:10. And Jesus said, "When you come to know yourselves, then you will become known, and you will realize that it is you who are the sons of the living father," Thomas 3. (We have known) in part; but then shall (we) know (intimately) even as also (we are) known (and loved), 1 Corinthians 13:10-12. Don't close your eyes. "In the ages to come he (will) shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus," Ephesians 2:7. Get ready to experience the love of the Father. Jesus lamented, "For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them," Acts 28:27.

And so the message to the affected is clear, "Don't close your eyes, let yesterday go, and you will find more love than you've ever known." Keep looking. “Whoever finds the interpretation of these sayings will not experience death," Thomas 1. Don't close your eyes.

Another Mandela Effect that is sometimes mentioned is the spelling of the name “Sarah McLaughlin.” Her name is now “Sarah McLachlan.” To some, the old spelling looked a bit like Sarah Laughin'. Do you remember Sarah Laughing at the promise given to Abraham, but Sarah isn't laughing anymore. “Lachlan” as it is now spelled means stranger and may be a reference to the three strangers or angelic messengers that visited her tent with the message of promise, Genesis 17:17, 18:12.

After the introduction of the 144,000 John saw a vision of the fulfillment. John writes, "After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands, Revelation 7:9.

This Sarah McLaughlin name change may be a Mandela effect reminding the elect to not scoff at the promise in unbelief. For we have an holy calling which “is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel," 2 Timothy 1:9-10.

Consider the example of Abraham who "staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God," Romans 4:20. "For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith," Romans 4:13. And now, “the Lord hath said... Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession, Psalm 2:8. This all inclusive promise is explained by one of the better promises of the New Covenant, "When they shake off their wine, then they will repent," Thomas 28.

However, Jesus said, "An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas," Matthew 12:39. “The word of the LORD came unto Jonah... and Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown,” Jonah 3:1-4. The King of Ninevah called for prayer and repentance saying, "Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not? And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not, But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry. And he prayed unto the LORD, and said, I pray thee, O LORD, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I fled before unto Tarshish: for I knew that thou art a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repentest thee of the evil,” Jonah 3:9-4:2.

Jonah was a reluctant prophet who felt that God would make him look like a fool, because he knew that God would forgive the people despite the prophesied judgment. God changed his prophetic word when the people “turned from their evil way.” When the people repented, God repented. This is the better promise of the New Covenant, “They will repent," Thomas 28. This is “the mystery of the gospel,” Ephesians 1:10, 6:19, Romans 16:25.

In order to accomplish this God is going to sent forth messengers who will scatter the seed.

The message of Nelson Mandela was “The Truth and Reconciliation Commission.” The message of the Mandela Effect is that the solitary and the elect have been given a commission to bring Truth and Reconciliation. Make the two into One. Go ye therefore, Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you, Matthew 28:20.

Now that this gospel has been recovered, once again, it will be the message for every nation, kindred, and tongue, and people, Revelation 14:6. And so even today, this gospel of reconciliation is proclaimed, for "the time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand, (within reach and making the two into one): repent ye, and believe the gospel," Mark 1:15.

And the Bride shall lay down with the Bridegroom.

"Go ye therefore into the highways, (and the byways) and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage," Mathew 22:9.

And “the Spirit and the Bride say come,” Revelation 22:17.

The Message that People Do Not See: A Summary and a Conclusion

The Mandela effect is the beginning of the Unveiling of Jesus Christ and of his message to humanity. The opening of The Revelation of Jesus Christ, or of The Little Scroll as it is called in The Book of Revelation is the primary catalyst of the Mandela effect. The purpose of the Mandela effect is to make the message of The Little Scroll known. The full impact of this little book upon the elect messengers, humanity, the world, and the message of the scriptures is yet to be revealed.

The message of the law and the prophets served a purpose. They brought us to the place where we could receive Jesus and the message he brought from his Father, Galatians 3:24. The law and the prophets were temporary, but the everlasting gospel of Christ does not pass away. This is the vital difference between the Scriptures and The Sayings of Christ.

We have been experiencing a famine of the Word of God for centuries. And now there has been a restoration of The Little Scroll. There is a message in this scroll that people do not, and can not see, Thomas 51, 113. But there is One who has been found worthy to open the scroll and loose the seals thereof, Revelation 5:4-5. Jesus said, "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord," Luke 4:18-19. And once again, at the end of time, He is sending out messengers who will go even as He went, and walk as He walked, and deliver the same message that He himself brought, 1 John 2:6, Matthew 11:7. This is the truth and reconciliation commission.

Paul wrote, "I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation," Romans 1:16. "For the preaching of the cross... is the power of God," 1 Corinthians 1:18. God is sending out messengers who will carry the cross and open blind eyes. When the elect finally understand the message of the cross that Jesus taught they will not see death, but will enter the kingdom, reign, and then find rest, Thomas 1-2.

In previous articles, this Gospel centered around the cross, was identified as The Gospel of Thomas. The Mandela Effects are pointing the elect and the affected to this Little Book, the Gospel which lists “The Sayings” which were authored by Jesus and scribed by Thomas. The sayings in this Little Scroll, the everlasting gospel are spirit and they are life, John 6:63.

It is these words, and these sayings, and this Spirit that moved men to speak and to write the scriptures to be in agreement with the divine intention. Building upon these sayings, and using this foundational cornerstone, the apostles wrote the canonical scriptures of the New Testament. As it is written, "Holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Spirit."

Mystery Babylon has often hid and suppressed The Gospel of Thomas, and even more than once they have suppressed the reading of the canonical books. "But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them," 2 Corinthians 4:3-4. But there is nothing hidden that will not be made manifest.

This Testimony of Jesus begins, “These are the secret sayings which the living Jesus spoke and which Didymos Judas Thomas wrote down,” The Gospel of Thomas Prologue. Stated plainly The Gospel of Thomas is the writing commissioned by Jesus and scribed down by Thomas. Put another way, The Gospel of Thomas is The Everlasting Gospel and is The New Testament that the apostles often wrote about. To properly understand the message of the canonical books of The New Testament it is helpful to realize that what is called The New Testament by most people today, is rather The Record or Testimony by the Apostles about the New Testament which was authored by Jesus. Jesus was an author. The apostles, following the example of Jesus, wrote their own writings which became a part of the foundation that is built upon the chief cornerstone which is Jesus and his Testimony, Ephesians 2:20, 1 Corinthians 3:10.

For more on this perfect and everlasting gospel authored by Jesus, and the testimony of the apostles concerning this book examine "The Gospel of Christ - The New Testament Cross Reference Study" and "The Testimony of Jesus.”

One of the best sources of insight into the meanings of The Little Book that we have been considering, and the Mandela Effect changes that the affected are seeing, may be the testimony of the apostles and prophets. This is well worth repeating. It is the Canon of The Bible that may provide the best supporting evidence for The Gospel of Thomas, and perhaps the best supporting explanation of the message of the Mandela effects. God willing, this will be examined in detail in future articles. As one Youtuber declared "It is all Biblical." We have been given a gift. You shall receive power. As a community, we now have the opportunity to use the Mandela Effects to point the affected toward the scriptures, and to powerfully proclaim the coming Kingdom of God.

"The Kingdom of God" is the message of this Little Book authored by Jesus. The Bride is changed when she is joined to the Bridegroom. The Earth is changed when joined with Heaven. The Law and the Prophets are changed when joined with this little book, the message of Jesus. The kingdom doesn't come by waiting for it, Thomas 113. When you make the two one then you will enter the kingdom, Thomas 22, 106. Messengers are being sent forth. There will be an unveiling of Jesus and his message: The Kingdom of God is at hand. Repent and believe the Gospel.
