suspect to particular theologies. Christian theology and what remains
mysterious therein concludes that Jesus must return to finish what is left
unfinished. That is impossible! Other theologies and/or religions expect a
messiah to come through their religion to deliver humanity. All will
experience deliverance just as the scriptures foretell, but each will be
disappointed in the actuality; the messiah will not appear as a person
coming through their religion, or according to their demands. Jesus will
return to reward us for the victory, and in order to be victorious those who
are called must recognize the supremacy of the Father. More importantly,
they must
know
the Father and not only know
abou t
Him. As one comes
to know the Father they too will come to know the son, because you/we
cannot have one without the other.
Truth is expressed through the messenger, because the messenger knows
the source of the message and the purpose. The messenger is given the
truth to be conveyed as a witness, regardless of the price of rejection; thus,
fulfilling the purpose of the one who originated the message. The essence
of the message does not change
—
the original meaning is always the same.
Some people will choose to listen; most will not listen, because what they
believe, without knowing, is the truth.
Many unanswered questions about what is contained in the scriptures
remain mysterious, yet are not accepted when revealed. When belief
becomes truth, mysteries can be unlocked, whereas before, belief was too
rigid. Deception is a convenient tool for evil, and belief at times serves that
purpose because misunderstanding is the motivation of sin. Truth is
essential, but deception promulgates the lie as truth; the truth is close in
theory, but the whole truth is never contained within a theory. With the
greatest of intentions, deception in the mind comes through those in
authority, so humanity trusts in the wrong source and acts accordingly.
Thoroughly convinced by great intentions, a prideful mind is ineffective in
the application of belief because belief is thought to be the whole truth.
However, in the end, man renders Satan harmless, for Satan is destined for
perdition. Satan, the architect of evil, must bow as God predicted in
Genesis.
