The Mandela Effect

	Concerned about "The Mandela Effect?" Redirected here from those sites? Want to remember? Want "to know" what happened to "time?" Need to "understand" what is happening? Does it feel like the ground has been ripped away?  This page is for you.

The Mandela effect is when a number of people share common memories of events which differ from the prevailing or available evidence of those events. The cognitive dissonance, mental stress and discomfort experienced by the "Mandela affected" has caused many to question the very nature of reality.

I do intend to address this situation, but my real purpose is to awaken, challenge, and prepare a chosen people.

OUR EXPERIENCE

"The Mandala Effect," can shake us to the core. It is a dreadful experience for many. However, we do not need to remain dismayed, if it is understood that this is a necessary, useful and a planned event. As painful as this effect might be, in the larger scheme of things, it is only for a short time. We must be shaken to the core, so that only that which is built upon the chief cornerstone may remain. This is for those with a good heart. God is making changes to prepare an elect people who will be worthy, responsible, and be able to handle the power to rule the earth with a heart filled with compassion and love. This is the promise of the ages beginning to unfold. This effect is for The Elect.

Be strong and courageous. Despite the pain and confusion there remains one thing we can be certain about. We can "know that we know him, if we keep his commandments," 1 John 2:3.  When all that we have errantly placed our security in, is finally shaken away, then we will discover like never before that we truly "know that we know him." I pray this becomes our experience.

Let us put on the Lord Jesus and see clearly. Let this be our desire. The answers to our questions can not and will not remain hidden. The experience of the old man is like a dream. While dreaming, it is almost like being oblivious. It is now high time to wake up out of sleep. You may have noticed, that when we don't understand what is happening, waking up can be an increasingly horrifying realization, Romans 13:11-14. But coming soon, very soon, the God of peace will bruise satan under our feet, and He will rule in our hearts, Romans 16:20, Colossians 3:16, Philippians 4:7. This is his promise. Come, Lord Jesus.   

He is waking us up. Some people call this process enlightenment, Hebrews 6:1-4. And sometimes enlightenment is not a pleasant experience. I have seen the fear and confusion in the eyes of my friends, and I have felt the pain.

Personally, in the beginning, encountering the Mandela effect was horrifying. Nothing made sense and nothing felt safe. What was happening? Had I died? Was I dead? And where was I? "The terror of the Lord" becomes... very, very, very real. "Woe, Woe..., woe" does not express the agony. Words cannot describe this ordeal. I suspect that I am not alone in this experience, or you would not likely be reading this lengthy article. 

Behold what zeal this has worked within us, 2 Corinthians 7:11.

What is happening, and what is coming can drive us to our knees. This is perhaps half the whole purpose of this life. Crying out, men's hearts will fail them for fear, Luke 21:26. Still, I hope and trust that the pain and suffering of this present time is not worthy to be compared with the glory that will be ours... after we work this through. Even if we make our bed in hell, we are not alone. He is with us as we work out our own salvation with fear and trembling. And it is with fear and trembling, Psalms 139:8, Romans 8:18, Philippians 2:12.

I am sorry to all for what we must endure, but we MUST hasten his coming. There is no way around this. We are his hands and his feet. The judgment of God can and will straighten this out. And it must "begin" at the house of God. 

I am writing this to encourage you, but this page and this experience must "not" be used to self-righteously and incorrectly assure ourselves that our own faith is right and correct. Although a healthy peace and calm assurance shall be restored to our hearts, as we are strengthened from above and from within, we must not delude ourselves. Rather, we are challenged toward righteousness, and true submission. This is to wake us up. This is a time of preparation, and transition, and judgment. This effect is intended to cause us to repent and believe, and then to trust and obey our heavenly Father. Anything else, at a time like this, is likely wishful thinking or deception. Do not be deceived. We are wrong. He is right. And we must be changed. Yes, this is a majestic and glorious time, but things are not all OK. We may also be moving into the most treacherous of times together with and along side these most glorious of times. Those who do not receive the love of the truth, those who do not diligently seek to find, and those who prefer to be deceived, they are blinded, 2 Thessalonians 2:3-8. 

I can only hope that we have been given a warning, a wake-up call, and a little "time" to prepare ourselves, and to purify our hearts. Perhaps, we have a little space to repent, Revelation 2:21. I still hardly know how to make amends for my own hypocrisy, vanity, pride, and lust. Now knowing the terror of the Lord... what can I say? We all must stand before Him alone. May God have mercy on me... and on all of us.

We have all been changed by this, 1 Corinthians 15:51. And yet, it felt, and still feels like a death. And I still feel the wickedness of my heart lingering. Jesus once gave a very cryptic saying, "When You become two, what will you do?" Thomas 11. Have you ever had two memories of the same event? What can you do? I hope that by the end of this article you will know what to do. For your benefit, I tell you now, we will make the two one. In our diligence, let us hasten his coming.

If it is not too late, "Come Lord Jesus." Come quickly.

JESUS IS THE LORD

Dear friends, be strengthened to face the future. We will need courage, and we will need truth. We will need insight that has been kept secret just for a time like this. Jesus said, "There is nothing hidden that will not be made known," Thomas 5. There is nothing buried, that will not be raised! 

The thoughts of this article are presented with much humility. When we are talking about God and His mysteries, it is wise not to be overconfident. "How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out! For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counselor?" Romans 11:33-34

The Book of Daniel is a parable of the end times. Concerning this mystery that we are all asking about, "The secret (was) revealed unto Daniel in a night vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven... and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his: And he (The God of Heaven) 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 2:19-22.

This is the secret. God has made Jesus both Lord and Christ, Acts 2:36. And now, this Jesus is subduing all things, and all enemies, and putting them under his feet, 1 Corinthians 15:24-28. God is now exercising his dominion through Jesus, Psalms 2:1-5, 12.

Prophecy does not unfold as people expect. It is meant to be this way, for our own protection. This means that God will continue to surprise us.

TIME: CHRONOS

So what happened? 

There is nothing hidden that will not be uncovered, Thomas 5. 

Some are concerned about the power of CERN, D-wave computers, and sorcery. "Let not your heart be troubled," John 14:1. Jesus once said, "Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above," John 19:11. 

It is true. There is a futile attempt at war against God. The enemy of our soul will attempt to manipulate time, and thereby mimic God. First, he tries to deceive and hide what God is doing, or even attempt to take credit for what has been done. And then, if all else fails, he will try to reverse what God is accomplishing. "And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think (hope, 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," Daniel 7:25. Even so, he is merely a tool in the hands of almighty God, Romans 8:28, 31, 37. The end-time saints do not die until the days of their prophecy are completed, Revelation 11:7.

There is more going on than meets the eye. God is the invisible hand behind everything that is happening. Concerning the time of the end, Jesus explained, "Except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days," Mark 13:20. Has time changed? This will be examined. When the days are shortened, then it is for these end-time elect who will be given unique abilities and circumstances for the sake of humankind, and for the proclamation of the gospel, Revelation 11:3,6. 

Though I will try to speak plainly, the whole truth will necessarily remain shielded until the fullness of time is come. Saints have been attempting to unveil The Book of Revelation for decades, but with little success. However, today it is rapidly unfolding, and with clarity.

Another useful study, The Book of Daniel is a parable of the things at the time of the end, during the time of the tribulation. Much is declared about changes in times and laws, forgetfulness, restoration, and protection. He also speaks about a little scroll that is sealed up until the time of the end. This little book, the testimony of Jesus, will be used to destroy the enemy, 2 Thessalonians 2:8. We will discuss this little book in detail.

John wrote, "I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven... he had in his hand a little book open: and... cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices. And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not. And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven, And 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." 

The message of the seven thunders was sealed up until the time of the end when "there should be time no longer." Time itself winds down when this hidden message is revealed. Time and space will be changed.

In Him all things are gathered together and held together, Ephesians 1:10. However, the scriptures declare that the administration of the mystery would be finished, and be completed, Revelation 10:7. There would be time no longer, Revelation 10:6. This happens at the time of the end, when knowledge is increased, when the seals are removed, and when the message of the seven thunders is finally revealed, Daniel 12:4. 

THE MYSTERY REVEALED: THE CRUX OF THE MATTER. WHAT WILL YOU DO?

Saints have been gradually uncovering this secret for decades. However today, you may consider the message of The Seven Thunders more fully. This is because there is a prophesied "little scroll" that has been recovered. John, in the revelation wrote in detail concerning this unique "little scroll." Before we can truly hear the message of the seven thunders, the message of this little scroll must first be restored. Discovered in 1945, it has reappeared, bringing about the time of the end. This part of the message may be hard for some saints, but it is the crux of the matter, and it is a present day truth that will not be silenced.

Jesus is not only the author of our salvation, and our faith, but also the author of this little scroll, Hebrews 5:9, 12:2. For more on this discovery consider the Testimony of Jesus.

This little scroll is the original Gospel of Christ or the Testimony of Jesus. In today's culture it is more commonly known as The Gospel of Thomas. This Gospel of Thomas is a unique document claiming to have been authored by Jesus, and scribed by his brother Thomas, c.f. The Thomas Prologue. Today, the original message of Jesus is again being proclaimed. The structure of this little scroll is centered around the climax of the book which is a reference to "the cross," and more specifically to the taking up of the cross in the way of Jesus. This scroll is the very "doctrine of Christ" calling believers to live like Jesus. Despite the opposition of Mystery Babylon, this scroll's message of forsaking all and bearing the cross will be restored. Within this word reference to "the cross" is an amalgamated Tau-Rho letter known as the staurogram. This staurogram even looks a bit like a cross. Within the structure of the book, at the center and the climax, this Tau-Rho cross can be pictured as a cross in the sky. Like an ancient Astro-theological Clock this "cross" divides up the circle of the heavens. This cross in the clock of the sky may be a key to understanding what happened to time.  Like a hidden key of knowledge, turned sideways this "cross" can be thought of as a key that was hidden within the text that could not be kept hidden. The scribes and the pharisees may have deliberately tried to hide the key of knowledge within the text. However, Jesus taught that there was nothing hidden that would not become manifest, Thomas 39, 5. The time is come. There is nothing buried that will not be raised.

This Little Scroll, commonly known as the Gospel of Thomas, is the focus of John's prophecy in The Book of Revelation. This little scroll is The Revelation of Jesus Christ which God gave unto him to show unto his servants. It is a scroll written on both the inside and the outside, the front and the back. It is an unusual scroll. It opens into Seven Sections corresponding to the Seven Days of the Original Creation. 

Side by side these two texts, Thomas and Genesis One, proclaim and become one message. In The Gospel of Thomas, Jesus proclaims "A Perfect Kingdom" that is unseen by men, but described in Genesis chapter one. Throughout Thomas the disciples ask Jesus many questions. Throughout the Seven Connected Days of the "Genesis One" creation story God Thunders His Perfect Mind. Hear God's response as He declares with "One Voice" a stern and perfect rebuke to the "Many Voices" of the many disciples of Jesus within this gospel. "The disciples asked" (In Thomas) ... "And God Said" (In Genesis 1).

The disciples speak with many voices. God speaks with One Voice. 

However, just like God, we too must all speak with one voice, 1 Corinthians 1:10. In contrast to Mystery Babylon and the tower of Babel, and the confusion of many languages, and the scattering over the whole earth, the end-time elect will be gathered together into One, and will all speak the same thing. This will be their power, Ephesians 1:10, Colossians 1:20.  

God divides to weaken his enemies, and then re-unites those who are his.

God is accomplishing this through his body. He will restore all things through his end-time church of messengers. Eventually, from the smallest inner spark to the grandest universal realities all is then reconciled back together into One, Romans 11:33,36. Step by step, this consummation is like an expanding ladder that reaches up into the universe. The bridal chamber in the holy of holies in the heart of the temple is where all this must happen. The many shall be made one. Study all of this more carefully if you so desire.

As you study, perhaps you will see the lightning light up the heavens and the earth as the Disciples Run and then Fly with their message. What you see you will become. Hear and understand the response of The Seven Thunders of God. See the Re-creative Power of God as He answers the questionings of these disciples of Jesus heard within the Gospel of Thomas.

In Revelation 10, John, perhaps representing the end-time elect, sees the angel stand upon the sea and upon the earth lift up his hand to heaven. He swears "that there should be time no longer." And now, having raised his hand, he begins to sound, Revelation 10:5-7. If you see these things happen, know who you are, and know that He has begun to sound. The time is coming and now is, John 5:25-28.

Perhaps, very soon the message of the seven thunders will have been fully disclosed.

Though the Disciples did not all speak the same thing The Seven Thunders Speak with One Voice, Revelation 10:1-7. Now is the time. Unroll the scroll. "For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy," Revelation 19:10. "Take it and eat it up," Revelation 10:9. For "You (too) must prophesy," Revelation 10:11. 

If you are a part of the end-time elect saints, then consider what it means that you are being handed The Testimony of Jesus and the little book that is being used by the seventh angel, and the end-time elect to destroy evil, and to change everything. All power is given unto you in heaven and in earth, Matthew 28:18-19. Use it wisely, Thomas 93.  

Listen to the Seven Thunders, Genesis 1. I show you a mystery. 

Time, or times is like a division in eternity. When will the repose of the dead come about? It is when the seventh angel over the end-time church, stands upon the sea and upon the earth, and declares that there should be time no longer, Revelation 10:7-8. Gathering together all things into one, He make all things new.

When will the new world come? It is in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, that the mystery of God should be finished. And so, I give you a key.

"What you look forward to has already come, but you do not recognize it," Jesus - Saying 51.

SALVATION IS COME  -  TIME TO FLY AWAY

I give you the keys. What you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, Matthew 16:19. 

I saw Satan (Baphomet) fall from heaven, Luke10:18. "And the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born, and she brought forth a man-child," Revelation 12:4. And Satan flees from before the Man-child. And as I looked into the sky, I heard a voice say, "There was war in heaven," Revelation 12:7. Even as Satan accused Job before God, now, "the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God," Revelation 12:10.  "Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ, Revelation 12:10.

The enemy is disarmed, Colossians 2:15.

"And men do not see it," Thomas 51, 113. There will be a great deception, 2 Thessalonians 2:9-10. Woe to those who dwell in the earth, Revelation 8:13.

But the saints are seated in heavenly places far above all principality and power, Ephesians 2:6.

Perhaps, your eyes see, Matthew 13:16.

There are several events in scripture that may be relevant to those who "feel" like they are living in an alternate, or even dual reality. We can read the scriptures as a natural man. Or we can read the scriptures as a spiritual man. 

First, Revelation 12 describes the woman who brought forth the man-child flying away from the earth. "And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man-child. And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent, Revelation 12:13-14. Those who have helped give birth to the Man-child are carried away.

Where does this woman go? This wilderness is her place. It is described as a place that is lonesome, and for the solitary. Jesus said, "Blessed are the solitary and elect, for you will find the kingdom. For you are from it, and to it you will return," Thomas 49. Do you "feel" like you have been translated from one place to another? 

Perhaps you will be a voice of one crying in the desert,"Prepare ye the way of the Lord," Matthew 3:3.

The scriptures speak prophetically and repeatedly of a new heavens and a new earth which will be for the righteous when "the first heaven and the first earth were passed away," Revelation 21:1.

Jesus had taught us to pray that we would be accounted worthy to escape all the things that would come upon this first or old earth. If you have become two, this is a message that is still relevant, even still, and wherever you dwell. How can we become worthy? Luke 21:31-36. 

I show you a mystery.  

Jesus said, "Take up your cross in my way." At the time of the end, those who will follow Jesus in this way, whether Jew or Gentile, need to know that the Beast of Revelation 11 and 13 will rise up against them, and overcome, and kill them. Again, those who follow Jesus in his way, taking up their cross, may have the priviledge of following Jesus in his death.

Pray that we would be accounted worthy.

Deny Yourself, Take up the Cross, and Go Preach. The fields are white, Revelation 14:6,14-20.

The harvest is coming, and so are the 144,000, Revelation 14:6,16.

We are in the world but not of it, John 17:11, 14. We are just passing through, Thomas 42. 

THE OLD EARTH  -  THE NEW EARTH 

He said, "So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man," Luke 21:31-36. 

Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal (large loaves), till the whole was leavened, Matthew 13:33, Thomas 96. "For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth," Luke 21:31-36. (From the Thomas - Luke  side by side comparison)

"Take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, Luke 21:31-36. 

Jesus said, "I took my place in the midst of the world, and I appeared to them in flesh. I found all of them intoxicated; I found none of them thirsty. And my soul became afflicted for the sons of men, because they are blind in their hearts and do not have sight; for empty they came into the world, and empty too they seek to leave the world. But for the moment they are intoxicated. When they shake off their wine, then they will repent," Thomas 28.

The fields are white. 

They will repent. This is one of the better promises of the New Covenant, Hebrews 8:6. All of this is the message for those in the first transfer. 

However, there is another second transfer. Jesus said, "The kingdom of the father is like a man who had good seed. His enemy came by night and sowed weeds among the good seed. The man did not allow them to pull up the weeds; he said to them, 'I am afraid that you will go intending to pull up the weeds and pull up the wheat along with them.' For on the day of the harvest the weeds will be plainly visible, and they will be pulled up and burned," Thomas 57, Matthew 13:34-43. 

On the day of the harvest the weeds will be plainly visible, and they will be pulled up and burned. But where do the weeds go?

Peter refers back to the old earth and "the coming of the day of God, (when) the heavens being on fire (are) dissolved, and the elements... melt with fervent heat, 2 Peter 3:12

Both Jude and Peter write of our search for a new heavens and a new earth, knowing of this day of the Lord, and of this coming destruction with fire. Both use very similar language.

Peter writes, "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 longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 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 3:10-13.

This is a work in progress.

The righteous and the elect are moving to a new heaven and a new earth because the old is being renovated by fire. The wicked and the godless are then being removed from the place where the righteous are, to the place where they will be burned.

The woman is given wings to go to her place. The weeds are pulled up and go to their place.

Where each one of us fits into this plan, we all have to work out for ourselves, with God alone.

Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, To execute judgment upon all," Jude 1:14-15.

That which is born of the spirit is spirit. That which is born of the flesh is flesh. Each belongs in its own place.

Repent and believe the gospel.

A RESURRECTION:  NATURAL VS. SPIRITUAL

Ever notice that in the first two chapters of Genesis there are two creation stories. The creation in Genesis chapter one is described as "good", Genesis 1:31. In this creation, "God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them," Genesis 1:27. The "chapter two" creation story describes something different. In this alternate creation or this alternate world "there was not a man to till the ground... And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul... And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man," Genesis 2:5, 21-23.

If you have been wondering about the connection between the Mandela Effect, the flat earthers, and the end of traditional linear "time," then the Genesis 1 account is a good place to start. Understanding the biblical flat earth worldview will help us to understand the spiritual meanings of all that God created. It was necessary that this flat-earth understanding of the earth be restored, so that the seven thunders of Genesis One can be better understood. Who knew what the firmament was before God began restoring this knowledge? Flat earth terminology is foreign to most modern readers. Understanding the language and vocabulary of Genesis One will help us.

There are two creation stories. One is spiritual, Genesis 1. One is natural, Genesis 2.

Even on a personal level, there is the natural and the spiritual man, the old man and the new man, the fleshly nature and the spiritual nature. No man can serve two masters. When you become two, what will you do?
 

Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left," Luke 17:34-36, Psalm 139:8.

"It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last (man) Adam was made a quickening spirit." However, "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. As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly... 

Behold, I shew you a mystery; 

We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed," 1 Corinthians 15:44-52.

Each one must determine before God if and what change is happening in their own life. The hour is coming and now is, when the seventh angel begins to sound and continues to sound, Revelation 10:7. What will be our experience on that resurrection morning, as he continues to speak? John 5:24-29. Life or Judgment?

The spiritual is for the spiritual. The natural is for the natural. However, the spiritual does govern the natural.

If the woman has flown away to her place, then this is a very, very sobering transitional "time" for everyone everywhere, Revelation 12:6,14. 

Whatever your experience, and whatever you see or remember, the world just keeps opposing us us with its lies, as it always has done, 1 Timothy 6:20. The truth will help set us free from the deception. Put off the old man. It is like a man operating on instinct, asleep and oblivious. Waking up, put on the new man. Knowing the truth, become a Spiritual Man. We must do this.

Jesus said, "Woe to the flesh that depends on the soul; woe to the soul that depends on the flesh," Thomas 112.

Let's get back to Genesis 1, which is good, and then move on to perfection. Christ is returning for a bride that is spotless and without blemish. Let us hope that every believer in Christ experiencing this effect is crying out for mercy and cleansing. Perhaps, and let us hope, we have been given a warning. Perhaps, it is a time to prepare ourselves, as the seventh angel continues to sound, and speak, and prophesy, Revelation 10:7. If so, then these are the days Elijah, Ezekiel, David, the Harvest, and the Laborers. Take heed. There is a time of transition.

"The hour is coming and now is," John 5:24-29. Can you feel something happening? Make haste. Nothing matters but salvation.

RESTRAINING EVIL AND END-TIME DECEPTION
  

"Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness, 2 Thessalonians 2:10-12.

Have you seen a strong delusion? A refusal to accept the truth? People deliberately closing their eyes?

It was declared, that the day of the Lord would not come until there is a great falling away first, and a great deception. Is it coming and is it here? And how long O Lord?

This "mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he (or it) who now restrains will restrain, until he (or it) be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming," 2 Thessalonians 2:7-8.

There are many things that restrain evil. Even the firmament divides heaven from earth, and restrains evil, Genesis1:8, Genesis 11:4, The four angels, Enoch 40:8-10. 

We, the end-time saints, who have this gospel, The Testimony of Jesus, restrain the works of the Wicked, until we are removed out of the way. When this happens the Lord will consume this Wicked with the spirit of his mouth, and the words of his lips.

The time is coming and now is. How long O Lord? 

"The Testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy," and is that which inspires prophecy, Revelation 19:10. "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. And 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 13:9-10. 

It is a mystery, but the division and separation that we all endure are a restraining influence. The imperfection created by tongues, and knowledge, and prophecy will all pass away, when the perfect is come. At that time the division into parts will have served its purpose.

The relevant example is the tower of Babel which was prevented through this restraining influence. "And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech, Genesis 11:6-7.

It is the divisions that restrain the wicked. Today, the Jewish, Muslim, and Christian religions have there own expressions of this Mystery Babylon. She is recognized by her violence and adultery. Jesus asked, "If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? Luke 11:18. Just as the divisions prevented the tower of Babel, and now hinder Mystery Babylon, so also it will be the unity of the righteousness that will finally destroy the wicked, Thomas 40.

It is The Testimony of Jesus or the word of God that pierces through the divisions restoring perfection, Hebrews 4:12. Having spoiled principalities and powers, the Word of God is piercing through the divisions of the joints and marrow, while accomplishing the knitting together of the joints and bands of that which is to come, that is the perfect man, Ephesians 4:3, Colossian 2:15,17,19.

It is the end time saints who have The Testimony of Jesus, the perfected body of Christ, perfectly joined together in love, with Christ as the head, who finally destroy the Wicked, Obadiah 21.

When "we all come in the unity of the faith... unto a perfect man," then that which is in part can be done away. Ephesians 4:3. "Put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.... And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness," Colossians 3:14.

The perfect will defeat the divided.

THE RETURN OF THE NEPHALIM (At the time of the end)

He who restrains is the corporate body of Christ, the salt of the earth, and the light of the world. The wicked is also a corporate entity. The corporate unity was taken away from the wicked. It is now being given and restored to the righteous. 

Corporate unity, especially that unity found on Mount Hermon, is reserved for the righteous, Psalm 133.

There once had been a corporate unity that the wicked angels, or son's of God as they were called, bound themselves to "by mutual imprecations" upon Mount Hermon. When these wicked ones agreed to "choose... wives from among the children of men," this evil plan was frustrated and restrained by the hand of God, Genesis 6:2. God disrupted them by dividing their language, and scattering them abroad over the face of the whole earth, Genesis11:7-8.

Enoch writes of their evil plans, "And it came to pass when the children of men had multiplied that in those days were born unto them beautiful and comely daughters. And the angels, the children of the heaven, saw and lusted after them, and said to one another: 'Come, let us choose us wives from among the children of men and beget us children.' And Semjaza, who was their leader, said unto them: 'I fear ye will not indeed agree to do this deed, and I alone shall have to pay the penalty of a great sin.' And they all answered him and said: 'Let us all swear an oath, and all bind ourselves by mutual imprecations not to abandon this plan but to do this thing.' Then sware they all together and bound themselves by mutual imprecations upon it. And they were in all two hundred; who descended in the days of Jared on the summit of Mount Hermon, and they called it Mount Hermon, because they had sworn and bound themselves by mutual imprecations upon it. And these are the names of their leaders: Samlazaz, their leader, Araklba, Rameel, Kokablel, Tamlel, Ramlel, Danel, Ezeqeel, Baraqijal, Asael, Armaros, Batarel, Ananel, Zaqel, Samsapeel, Satarel, Turel, Jomjael, Sariel. These are their chiefs of tens," Enoch 6.

"And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these (the Wicked - the angels which kept not their first estate), saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, to execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him, Jude 1:6-11,15.

It seems that these "wandering stars"... these "mockers" would arrive again "in the last time," Jude 13,15-17.

In the Book of Genesis, there was the judgment of the flood. The Nephalim were not spared, and most if not all, were removed from the earth. "For... God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly, 2 Peter 2:4-5.

Then Christ came, and then "was the gospel preached also to them (these) that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit," 1 Peter 4:6.  And on some have compassion, making a difference, and others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire, Jude 22-23.  Then, for those among them who do not listen, the Lord comes "to convince all that are ungodly among them", and to execute judgment. And he comes "with ten thousands of his saints."

Then the Lord shall consume the wicked (or the dead) with the spirit of his mouth, 2 Thessalonians 2:8. What does being consumed mean? Certainly something is destroyed. But being consumed is not necessarily a bad thing if it is also a transformation. If you consume a meal, that food then becomes a part of you, and is transformed. Jesus said, "Blessed is the lion which becomes man when consumed by man; and cursed is the man whom the lion consumes, and the lion becomes man," Thomas 7. Higher kingdoms will transform lower kingdoms. Then the lion shall lay down with the lamb and the bear shall eat grass like the ox and the child shall play on the hole of the asp and nothing shall hurt nor destroy in all My Holy Mountain.

The Lord comes with ten thousands of her saints, and when you consume what is dead, you make it what is alive. All this is done with the spirit of his mouth, the Testimony of Jesus. His words are spirit and they are life, John 6:63. As difficult as these words are for this moment, all of this is presented for your consideration, and for when the time shall come. He shall make all things new, Revelation 21:5. 

For many, what is now being experienced places us at the time of the end. At this time, there will be a restoration. This means that we have lost something. Are you waking up to our desperate need. If there is going to be a restoration of all things, then as God's people we do need to recover truth. 

There is a spiritual way to approach the scriptures that has been recovered that will help us in these end times. Scripture will be joined to scripture. "Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; interpreting, comparing, and combining and joining together (perfectly joined) spiritual things with spiritual, 1 Corinthians 2:12-14, 1 Corinthians 2:13 ASV.

Introduce yourself to this spiritual approach to scripture by viewing Second Peter & Jude--A Hypothetical Text. By joining scripture to scripture, spiritual with spiritual, clearer insights are revealed that will help us in these times. Other examples of the benefits of this methodology can be seen in the already mentioned document: The Testimony of Christ or The New Testament Cross Reference Study.

For the End-Time Elect saints the word of God that lights their path will become a bright light that shines brighter and brighter unto the perfect day, Proverbs 4:18. The seventh millennial day arrives like any other day. There will be a time of dusk and dawn: a time of transition before the full noon day light. The hour is coming and now is. As the seventh angel continues to sound, enemies will continue to be subdued, and the dead will continue to rise, every man in his own order. Remember Lot's wife. Do not look back. This is a sober and a dreadful time.  

"For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them, Matthew 13:15-17.

There is the natural man and there is the spiritual man. And there is a spiritual approach to scripture which in time will reveal the truths that have been hidden. There is nothing hidden that will not be revealed.

WHAT TIME IS IT?

This is JUST the dawning of a new day. Along with this joining of scripture to scripture, there is also another seldom recognized approach to the scriptures that may help some to determine their current place in God's timeline. It is called Chiastic structure. "Timelines and Chiasm within Book of Revelation" is an online video you may find helpful: MANDELA Effect, The Chiasm & Book Of Revelation?!

Just as human history is sometimes divided into the time before Christ and time after Christ, the Book of Revelation could also be divided into two timelines. The first timeline is seen on the left side of the chiasm before death of Christ is mentioned in the text at Revelation 11:8. The second timeline is seen after this verse until the end of the book with the description of the new heavens and the new earth. The idea of a chiasm is to join the two sides or two timelines into one. If the two sides of the chiasm represent two timelines, then like a zipper merging, there may be more changes as time goes by, and as the seventh angel continues to sound. This is a step by step process.

For those interested in understanding this method of biblical interpretation more completely a more detailed explanation can be found in the article The Original Gospel of Christ. This page explains the creation of the Joint Body structure of the Testimony of Jesus. In it, an inner Chiasm, which holds an eternal perspective on time, merges with an outer Chiasm which tends to view time in a more linear fashion. This same pattern was also used to create The Joint Chiastic structure of the Testimony of Jesus with the Song of Solomon. It is a detailed, but worthwhile study for the serious student.

Understanding the two sides of a Chiastic structure is so important because the Book of Revelation is all about such a chiastic little scroll with the seven seals which is written on both the front side and on the backside, Revelation 5:1.  

Ezekiel also wrote in detail about "a little scroll" written on both sides, on the inside and on the back side, which was given to the son of man. This appears to be an allusion to Jesus and his message and ministry to Israel? After the death and resurrection of Jesus, John, in his revelation, prophesies about this same little scroll which though taken in hand, no man can open, except the lamb.

All of this bears repeating.

The Gospel of Thomas is the Original Gospel or message given by God to Jesus. Jesus had this message written down and then gave it to his servants. This little scroll must be opened again. If a new understanding is dawning in your mind you may also benefit by studying The Book of Revelation while holding tightly to This Testimony of Jesus. 

This prophesied "little scroll" is real. It has been recovered. Discovered in 1945, it has reappeared, bringing about the time of the end. It is the Testimony of Jesus. It is "The Gospel of Christ", "The Doctrine of Christ", "His Sayings", "The Preaching of Jesus Christ", "The Gospel of God", and even "The Everlasting Gospel". 

Awaken every man in his own order, 1 Corinthians 15:23-28.

And what will this mean for us when he speaks again and again... and again, as he continues to sound, Revelation 10:7.

As you discover who you are, you will become strong and you will be courageous, and do exploits, Thomas 3,28,106.

For those who are the translated, hear his voice.

To Enoch, for those at the time of the end, it was spoken, "I have revealed to thee everything, and given thee books... I have given Wisdom to thee... And those who understand it shall not sleep," Enoch 82:1-3. Jesus said, concerning his own book, "Whoever finds the interpretation of these sayings will not experience death." Daniel, as a type and figure of the end time elect was "made to understand" the time of the end, Daniel 8:16,19. Are you ready to understand? 

FORGETFULNESS IN THE END TIME    -    IT IS TIME TO REMEMBER

Jesus said, "But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost,
whom the Father will send in my name,
he shall teach you all things,
and bring all things to your remembrance,
whatsoever I have said unto you,
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you:
not as the world giveth, give I unto you.
Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." 
John 14:26-27.

"We have the mind of Christ," 1 Corinthians 2:16.
"Stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance," 2 Peter 3:1.

Like a parable of the end-times, the Book of Daniel is a training manual for the saints at the time of the end. 

At one point, King Nebuchadnezzar had forgotten his dream. In his frustration he cries out, "The thing is gone from me: if ye will not make known unto me the dream, with the interpretation thereof, ye shall be cut in pieces," Daniel 2:5. With the help of God, Daniel is able to remind the king of his own memories, and then provide the interpretation of that which was forgotten.

Through this experience, Daniel was able to proclaim the coming Kingdom of God to even an earthly king.

Perhaps the end-time saints, the elect of God, the last who shall be first, will not only be able to help those who have forgotten, those who say the thing is gone from me, to remember, but perhaps they will also be able to reveal the meaning of "the dream" and to interpret it in such a way as to proclaim the soon coming kingdom. Notice how effective the 144,000 are in the proclamation of The Everlasting Gospel? Revelation 14:1,6,15-20. When they share his words, they share his spirit, John 6:63.

Later Daniel interprets another of King Nebuchadnezzar's dreams. At this point the king can at least remember "his dream." Daniel is able to interpret the dream declaring that the king will become as a beast, eating the grass of the field, but prophesies for him a return to sound mind, but only after seven years of madness, Daniel 4:13,19.

Daniel prophesies, "O king... this is the decree of the most High, which is come upon my lord the king... And they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field: they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will," Daniel 4:24,32.

Again, God uses these afflictions to provide Daniel the opportunity to freely declare the Kingdom of God.

This is the ministry of the end-time elect.

Perhaps, the end-time elect, will see themselves throughout this story of Daniel, if they look closely.

Given the importance of The Book of Daniel to the end-time elect, I have included this text side by side and together with The Book of Revelation. Side by side, these two books interpret each other.
