The Only Solutions To The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, The Israeli-Arab Conflict or The Muslim-Christian Conflict can only be solved by truth, awareness or a crushing military defeat. In short, it is just a matter of time before these seemingly irresolvable conflicts drag the entire world into World War III.

If world leaders allow this to happen, World War III will devastate this planet and may turn this earth into a burned out cinder devoid of human life. Why are these Middle Eastern problems so difficult to solve politically? The answer is simple. Lack of leadership and lack of will by the Muslims, Arabs and Palestinians. History is very clear on these facts. Yet, these facts are rarely mentioned, rarely taught and rarely used as the foundation for constructive political engagement or debate.

Consequently the only lasting solution to the Middle Eastern problem is for the rest of the world to tell the truth and repeat the truth continuously until the Arabs, Muslims and the so-called Palestinians acknowledge they are liars and the Western powers, including the Vatican, stop supporting them in their lies. The more the truth is spoken and heard, the more awareness it will create and crushing military defeats will not be necessary for the following reasons.

1. Anti-semitism (Jew Hatred) will eventually decline because the Jews have benefitted every culture that allowed them to thrive and prosper.
2. Hamas, the PLO (Palestinian Liberation Organization) and Hezbollah will be seen as they really are - murderous gangs of Muslims masquerading as a political and para-military organization.
3. Muslims, Islam and Islamic law will be revealed for what they really are - a totalitarian religious group and a despotic philosophy that masquerades as a religion and a legal code.
4. Pagan Christianity, its political systems (socialism, predatory capitalism and dysfunctional communism), the Roman Catholic Church and many of its Protestant offsprings, will be revealed for what they really are - the "Lamb that speaks as a dragon".
5. Arab leaders will be exposed for what they are - dictators masquerading as kings and sheiks that tell more politically oriented lies than truth.
6. The so-called Palestinians will eventually accept the fact and truth that they are exiled Arabs and/or Trans-Jordanians and end their unfounded and unjustifiable claim to Israeli territory.

The truth can and will set you free. Let's examine how truth will help Eastern and Western world leaders begin the process of resolving the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, The Israeli-Arab Conflict and The Muslim-Christian Conflict. Arabs, Muslims and Palestinian leaders are liars. The first real step to solving the crisis in the Middle East is to speak the truth. Israel has never threatened her Arab neighbors, Muslims or the so-called Palestinians. These people have always, without exception, threatened Israel.

It is the Arabs, Muslims and the so-called Palestinians that should be pressured into accepting truth, concessions and land for peace and not the Israelis. There is no such reality as an occupation in your own territory or return of refugees to lands they never owned, unless these exiled Arabs and/or Trans-Jordanians are advocating some bizarre squatter's rights. These people that call themselves Palestinians were formerly Arabs and/or Trans-Jordanians. In fact, under the Ottoman-Turks, that ruled the region for hundreds of years, there is no mention of Palestine or Palestinians.

Pagan Christianity and its politcal systems have also maintained the lie about a Palestinian nationality and culture. The reason, Jerusalem. The closest people or group that existed in world history that can be remotely considered as Palestinians are the Philistines - the enemies of the Children of Israel. For all practical purposes, the Gaza strip can be considered the former homeland of the Philistines.

Palestine as a province or name came into existence because the region was renamed during the reign of the Roman Emperor Hadrian. Consequently, Palestine could not have existed during the time of Jesus the Christ as many Christian bibles and modern historians portray. This geographic region was formerly Canaan and GOD (YHVH), gave this land to the "Children of Israel" because the sins of its inhabitants had reached full measure. Read the truth for yourself in the biblical text and any good history book that tells the truth. The online reference site, Wikipedia, is a good place to start, even though there are numerous historical inaccuracies calling the area Palestine before it became the combined provinces of Judaea (which included Samaria) and Galilee that eventually became Syria Palaestina (See Palestine).

The Butterfly Gives Darwin An "Absolute Breakdown"

As stated in a previous post, the academic and scientific communites have major problems. "How are they going to tell the truth, after so many years of misinformation, half-truths and outright lies.

The universe is not billions of years old and the gradual evolutionary development of life on planet earth is a myth. [See "The Theory of Evolution - The Scourge of the Modern World"]

Darwin's "Theory of Evolution" is an absolute lie. Nothing illustrates the madness of nerds, geeks and pseudo-intellectuals more than the lowly butterfly. I hope you enjoy reading the following excerpts from Thomas Heinze's, "Butterfly Gives Darwin an 'Absolute Breakdown', as much as I enjoyed finding it in "Battle Cry" - July/August 2007 - Page 3. The article begins by stating....

"Darwin felt that natural selection, working by just slight modifications, had formed all the animals and all of their organs. He wrote: "If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed which could not possibly have been formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications, my theory would absolutely breakdown." {End Quote}

"Here's an "absolute breakdown" surprise for him! Butterflies are not transformed by successive slight modifications from caterpillars, or from any evolutionary ancestor. Neither are any of their complex organs. When a butterfly egg hatches, a caterpillar steps out, eats, grows, and then builds a little house around itself where it passes into the pupal stage."

"Inside the leather-like shell of the pupa, or larva, the caterpillar dissolves. I don't mean he dissolves in tears, or has a squishy feeling. His eyes, legs, intestines, and bristly fuzz, everything that disguishes him as a caterpillar, melts down to form a thick liquid. Everything except his heart becomes homogenized goo."

"Darwin said that if any complex organ existed which could not possibly have been formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications, his theory would absolutely breakdown. Compare organs that crawled in to become the pupa with those of the butterfly that flew out in the chart below."

Caterpillar Organs: Butterfly Organs: 12 legs 13-segment body 6 simple eyes No sex Organs Chewing jaws 0 wings 6 legs 10-segment body 2 compound, 2 simple eyes Sex Organs Coiled sucking tube 2 pairs of wings

"All these butterfly organs formed from goo! None formed from slight modifications to previous organs! Darwin struck out. Darwin thought that natural selection had lifted all plants and animals up from a single cell by eliminating the less fit and keeping the more fit alive. What is the least fit substance you can think of? Thick liquid?"

"Well even if you can think of something less fit than thick liquid, you know that liquid goo has no selective advantage over a varacious caterpillar crawling efficiently through the brush, avoiding predators with protective coloration and covering of disgusting thick fuzz! Darwin was right! His theory absolutely breaks down, crushed under the weight of one of God's lightest creatures: the butterfly!"

In author Thomas Heinze's books, The Vanishing Proofs of Evolution, In the Beginning-Soup? and How Life Began, you will find other examples of evolution's breakdowns. Evolution is not science or scientific, it is nothing more than a strong delusion.

A Hell Of An Answer

The following is an actual question given on a University of Liverpool chemistry final exam.

The answer by one student was so "profound" that the professor shared it with colleagues via the Internet, which is why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well.

Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?

Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law that gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed or some variant.

One student, however, wrote the following:

First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Most of these religions state that, if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell.

Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell. Because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay constant, the volume of Hell must expand proportionately as souls are added. This gives two possibilities:


1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.

2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.


So which is it? If we accept the postulate given to me by Sandra during my freshman year, that "it will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you," and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number 2 must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is endothermic and has already frozen over.

The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is extinct ... leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being – which explains why, last night, Sandra kept shouting "Oh my God."

Bubblized - The New Madness

What is "Bubblized"? Bubblized is mental condition that comes from spending too much time around people like yourself. Bubblization is an affliction that gradually destroys a person's ability to do indepth common sense reasoning.

Bubblized is a dangerous malady that afflicts the vast majority of people in upper level management within the world's governments, educational institutions, churches, brokerage houses, banks and industries.

The most blatant example of "Bubblization" is our local, state and national political leaders; especially those in Washington DC. Currently, our worthless politicians are going to rebate back to tax payers 150 billion dollars in a so-called "Economic Stimulus Package" that is supposed to avert a recession.

Nothing is more frustrating, maddening and embarrassing than to see our government trying to deal with a problem they have created by their shortsighted thinking, planning and policy implementations. Since a huge number of products sold in America is manufactured in China, how can we stimulate our economy by giving most of the 150 billion dollars back to the Chinese?

Happy New Year 2008

During 2007, I addressed a lot of issues that confront all of us and I would like to thank all of you that sent me your problems so I could solve them for you. In 2008, I will continue to address issues that concern you the most.

As long as GOD (YHVH) gives me a clear mind and the physical means; mechanical, natural and/or otherwise, I will continue to solve problems others are unwilling to speak out about honestly and fairly. May GOD (YHVH) bless all of us on his planet and in his universe.

Figure It Out For Yourself (Unabridged)

The following poem speaks by itself.

Figure It Out For Yourself

Figure it out for yourself, my lad;

You have everything the greatest of men have had;
Two legs, two arms, two hands, two eyes,
And a brain to use if you would be wise,
With this equipment the great began,
So start from the top and say, "I can."

Look them over, the wise and the great,
They take their food from a common plate,
They must eat just like you, similar knives and forks they use,
With similar laces they must tie their shoes,
The world considers them brave and smart,
But you have the same equipment they had when they made their start.

You can triumph by developing your skill;
You can be great if you only will.
You are well equipped for whatever side you choose,
You have arms and legs and a brain to use.
There are many that are great that had much less,
And great deeds they did do,
And there are many that did deeds that had no more than you.

You are the handicap you must face;
You are the one who must choose your place.
You must say where you want to go,
How much you must study the truth to know;
GOD has equipped you for life, but He,
lets you decide where you want to be.

Courage must come from the soul within,
Only you can furnish the will to win.
So figure it out for yourself, my lad;
You were born with all the equipment the great men had.
With the same or less equipment the great men began,
So, get hold of yourself and say, "I can."

The Theory Of EvolutionThe Scourge Of The Modern World

"Secular Humanists" have a major problem. What are they going to do about the LIES they have been teaching for over 100 years about "The Theory of Evolution". The "Scientific Community" has a major problem.

What are they going to do about the LIES they have been teaching concerning the beginning of the universe. The solution to your problems is easy. TELL THE TRUTH. In the Beginning..GOD. Tell the TRUTH about your false religions - "The Theory of Evolution" and the "Big Bang Theory of Creation". After 200 plus years of digging, and thousands of reconstructed skeletons, "Evolutionists", "Secular Humanists"and "Scientists" still can not explain the absence of "so-called" cross over species. The reason: THERE ARE NO CROSS OVER SPECIES. There never were and never will be.

Without these "missing links" "Evolution" is a fraud and anyone that believes in it has serious mental problems. The evidence is overwhelming and undeniable. GOD created all the complex life forms we see in the past and present. It is by GOD's Words and His effort that gave us the beast of the field, beast of the Earth, beast and fish in the rivers and seas, fowls of the air and human life. There is no verifiable "Evolutionary Process" that has created anything. It is a LIE. So, admit it.

Every fossil, discovered to date, is complete and the evidence is undeniable and overwhelming that every animal past and present reproduce young after it's kind. {Gen 1:20-24 (KJV)} The same undeniable and overwhelming evidence exist for plant life. All plants, herbs and trees come from seeds that reproduce after their kind. {Gen 29-31 (KJV)} This overt rejection of GOD's TRUTH for scientific and academic LIES is largely due to the scientific and academic community's unwavering belief in the LIES of "Evolution" and "The Big Bang Theory".

Admit Darwin and everyone that supported his "Theory of Evolution" were wrong. Darwin's theory rest entirely on the assumption that his process of "Natural Selection" had to take place over millions of years, because animals and plants were too complex for "Natural Selection" to work in any time period less than that. Hence the need for millions and billions of years, rather than 50,000 years or less. Laboratory scientists and geneticists have butchered over 30,000 generations of fruit flies, and they still get fruit flies. A horse has never given birth to a scientist and a pig has never given birth to a college professor. It is not going to happen. The Earth is not billions of years old and neither is the universe. If this were true, we would all be dead.

The "Scientific Community" might as well give up their LIES about the age of the universe. The reason: The Sun is shrinking at a constant linear rate of 5 feet per hour. That's 43,800 feet per year. If the Sun were 4.5 billion years old and you multiplied 43,800 feet per year times the age given for our galaxy, and reversed the process, the only celestial body in this galaxy would be the Sun, and it would be huge. Since the Earth is thought to be the same age, this planet would either not exist or be a burned out cinder...and it isn't.

If our Sun began it's existence 4.5 billion years ago and shrank at its current rate, we would all be dead. The Sun would have disappeared and Earth would be a frozen wasteland. Even if the Earth managed to survive as a burned out cinder or a frozen barren rock, we would still be dead. The "Second Law of Thermodynamics" would have killed us. Over time, during the lifetime of a dynamic system, the system degenerates, falls apart or runs down. If the Earth is as old as scientist say it is, it would have degenerated a long time ago and life could not be sustained.

However, if you used 50,000 years or less, added the shrinkage back and took it away, the sun would be approximately the same size it is now. This is overwhelming physical evidence for a young Earth and an even younger moon. If the universe were as old as scientist say it is, thousands of star systems would be forming every second, new inorganic matter; as well as new intelligent life forms would be emerging before our very eyes right here on planet Earth, and that isn't happening.

Scientist have not seen one star system form since astronomers began studying the heavens, no new inorganic matter and no new life forms, intelligent or otherwise during the entire lifespan of recorded human history. Why do these well educated and intelligent people in leadership positions around the world insist on maintaining LIES as TRUTH? The answer: It is because these billions of years of manufactured time are necessary to support their misconceptions, academic LIES, scientific LIES, false religions, bankrupt intellectualism, false doctrines and corrupt governments.

This concept of billions of years comes from Darwinism and Darwinism is the philosophical foundation and false doctrine of "Secular Humanists". These poor dysfunctional, misguided, but highly educated people really believe there is no GOD. Charles Robert Darwin was not a GOD. He was only a man. He was an English Naturalist and along with Alfred Russell Wallace's essays gave the world the book, "On the Origin of the Species" in 1859.

This bogus philosophy has been the scourge of humanity since its inception. Because of Darwin's philosophy and the bankrupt intellectuals that support his hallucinations about the origin of life on Earth, over 110,000,000 people are dead. Millions more psychologically handicapped and millions more supporting dead politicians, philosophies, ideologies, governments and institutions. The only thing keeping the living dead from realizing THEY ARE THE LIVING DEAD, is pyschological misdirection in the form of cauterized entertainment, chemicalized and processed foods, illegal and legal drugs and conspicuous materialism.

Darwin and his supporters; both past and present, reportedly proposed and provided scientific evidence that all life on Earth evolved over time from one or a few common ancestors through the process of "Natural Selection". "Natural Selection" was later modified to include "Survival of the Fittest" a term coined by Herbert Spencer in his book "Principles of Biology" in 1864.

The academic community still prefers to use the term "Natural Selection" rather than "Survival of the Fittest". This evolutionary concept is widely accepted by the scientific community, the academic community and the general public, even though there is absolutely no evidence; physical or otherwise, to support it.

Since 1930, the "Evolutionary Theory" has been the foundation of biology, "Secular Humanism" and the world's leading scientists and governments. They claim it provides a unifying and logical explanation for the diversity of life found on planet Earth. The TRUTH is..the "Theory of Evolution" provides no explanation for all the diversity of life found on planet Earth past or present and the "Big Bang Theory" provides no scientific evidence for a universe that is over 50,000 years. And...please don't spread more LIES about the accuracy of radiometric or carbon dating.

If these "Evolutionists", "Scientists" and "Secular Humanists" do not discard the LIES...they believe in, the rest of us should discard them. And....make absolutely certain that these psychologically distrubed people never hold public office, teach in our educational institutions, participate in the sciences and never ever be allowed to enter our judicial system as a sitting judge in any legal proceeding. Anyone that accepts an ABSOLUTE LIE as TRUTH and worships that ABSOLUTE LIE, is not worthy of our trust, respect or support.

Part III: What Does Born Again Mean?

To review Part I:, click here. To review Part II:, click this link. Now, the conclusion to our series on "What Does Born Again Mean?"

Two Ways of Translating

In one passage a chapter later, in I John 3, gennao is used and could possibly be translated correctly in two different ways. Let’s see.

God’s character will have already been perfected in those He “quickens” at the resurrection. At this time, they will no longer be able to sin: “Whosoever is born of God does not commit sin; for His seed remains in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God” (vs. 9).

This is a fascinating verse. It can literally be translated two different ways, both correct. Some translators render this verse as begotten instead of born, because they understand that Christians do not practice sin as a way of life. In other words, they do not habitually sin—they strive not to sin.

Now consider the second way to view this verse correctly. If one is born of God in the resurrection, then a very member of the God Family, he “cannot sin”—it is impossible! This is also true! This second explanation is almost certainly what God intended. Here is why.

Return to the beginning of the chapter and reread a verse examined earlier: “Behold, what manner of love the Father has bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God…Beloved, NOW are we the sons of God, and it does not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when He shall appear, we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He is” (vs. 1-2).

As explained previously, a Christian is “now” a begotten “son of God.” Yet, in this life, it “does not yet appear what we shall be.” The Christian is not yet “like Him”—“as He is.”

The context in I John 3 is clearly talking about sons of God who are not yet born. By verse 9, it is apparent that what is being described is how Christians will be “like Him” at the resurrection.

In other sections, we have already covered what it means to be like God—born again!

When the Inheritance and When Born Again?

We repeat the question: When do Christians become inheritors—and no longer heirs? When is one truly born again?

Recall that Paul wrote, “Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither does corruption inherit incorruption” (I Cor. 15:50).

Fleshly human beings cannot enter the kingdom of God—the Family of God, ruling over the entire earth.

Christ told Nicodemus that, “Except a man be born again, he cannot SEE the kingdom of God.” When Nicodemus was confused, Christ said, “That which is born of the flesh IS flesh” and “that which is born of the Spirit IS spirit” (John 3:3-6).

God’s Word teaches that the dead in Christ are resurrected at His Return. Some will not believe this, preferring to believe the dead go to heaven after having been “born again” in this life, upon “professing” or “accepting” Jesus.

Paul explained: “Now if Christ be preached that He rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead? But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen: And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.”

This is God’s answer to all those who will not believe in the resurrection of the dead—in being born again. Paul continues explaining, “For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised: and if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; you are yet in your sins [understanding the resurrection becomes serious]. Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished” (I Cor. 15:12-14, 16-18).

There are few scriptures stronger than these. If there is no resurrection, then Christianity is a vain religion! So says God!

Only through Christ, the firstborn, can others be born later. Christ comes first, with others appearing later in their own order. But when does this happen? When are others “born again”? “For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming” (vs. 22-23).

Christians are born again “at His Coming”—not before!

Now here is what happens at the resurrection: “Behold, I show 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 [the moment of Christ’s Return]: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal [body from human birth] must put on immortality [divine body at spirit birth]” (vs. 51-53).

The flesh is changed to spirit only at the resurrection.

Let’s examine one more important verse from Paul to remove all doubt about when it occurs and what happens when it does: “But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep.” Most are ignorant about the resurrection—and them that are asleep—but they need not be. Now notice why Paul taught what he did: “that you sorrow not, even as others which have no hope” (I Thes. 4:13).

Many are now “asleep in Christ.” They are sleeping in the grave, awaiting the resurrection and rebirth. Christians hope to be resurrected.

Here is exactly when the resurrection occurs: “For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord” (vs. 16-17).

In John 14:3, Christ said, “I will come again.” Isaiah wrote, “Behold, the Lord God will come with strong hand, and His arm shall rule for Him: behold, His reward is with Him” (40:10).

At that time, Daniel said, “many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake [from sleep]…to everlasting life” (12:2). The knowledge that the dead are asleep in the grave has been understood since long before the New Testament era.

Gospel of Kingdom Preached at the End

Christ taught the gospel of the kingdom of God. As with the truth of salvation, and being born again, the ministers of this world have created a substitute gospel about the Person of Jesus. But the truth is that Christ announced that a wonderful, world-ruling government would come to earth. It would be preceded by a time of terrible world trouble and confusion—our time NOW! The saints would receive their inheritance at His Return and the establishing of His government.

Christ’s disciples asked Him what would be the sign of His Coming and the end of the age (Matt. 24:3). He warned them of deception from many who would come “in His Name,” saying that “Christ is Christ” (vs. 5). He explained that they would put an emphasis on Christ’s Person instead of His message. But He also foretold that “this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come” (vs. 14).

Remember, if the kingdom of God had been preached through the centuries, from the time of Christ to the present, proclaiming it today could not be a sign that the world has reached the end of the age. Impostors and false leaders suppressed the preaching of the true gospel to the world until the 20th century. Starting in 1934, Herbert W. Armstrong began the fulfillment of this prophecy. It continues in these final days.

We are now in the time of the end. The Restored Church of God is continuing to preach this gospel. We are teaching people how to “see” and “enter into” the kingdom of God—we are teaching them how to be BORN AGAIN!

It is astonishing that the enormous amount of New Testament proof revealing the staggering truth about being born again is so ignored and misunderstood. Christ, Paul, Peter and John taught it over and over again, in marvelous clarity for those who will examine their plain words!

Born at Resurrection

At the conclusion of Mr. Armstrong’s booklet Just what do you mean – BORN AGAIN?, he wrote the following, beginning under the subhead “Will You BELIEVE?”:

“Now will you believe what God says in the book of Hebrews?

“Why should God be concerned about human beings? From a small airplane we look like little ants down here. From a jet 5 to 6 miles high, people on the ground have shrunken so small they can’t be seen. How tiny must we look to God? Why should He have concern for us?

“The question is answered in Hebrews 2, beginning verse 6. God made man a little lower than angels, but, in God’s purpose and plan, He has crowned man, as He first has Christ, with glory and honor.

“What is the glory with which Christ is now crowned? A crown denotes kingship—rule—authority—power. Jesus Christ said, just before ascending to heaven, that all power in the universe—in heaven and in earth—had been given to Him.

“In Heb. 1:1-3, it is revealed that Christ now is the brightness of God’s glory!

“Yes, His eyes like flashing flames of fire—His face shining bright as the full-strength sun.

“Christ’s glory is such that now He sustains, upholds, controls, every force, energy, and power that exists everywhere—supreme power over the universe!

“Now believe what God says about US!—Hebrews 2:10, ‘For it became him...in bringing many sons unto GLORY, to make the captain [margin, Leader, or Predecessor, or Pioneer] of their salvation perfect through sufferings.’ And in verse 11 Jesus calls us His brothers.

“Oh, what matchless, transcendent glory God purposes for us—when we are born again! Revelation 1:13-17 gives a graphic description of that future glory.

WHY Not Now?

“But, as we read in Heb. 2:8, we do not see yet all this glory having been inherited by any but Christ. Why, then are we not yet born?

“Because, when we are, we are to be given such powers to guide, direct, and control, that we must first be trained and have the perfect spiritual CHARACTER developed in us so that we may safely be entrusted with such vast powers!

“God created this universe. He is the real Supreme Ruler! He is not going to turn over that power to rule to any except those who will rule His way, who will obey Him, obey His government, and carry out His government, under Him!

“So, it is only those that are led by God’s Holy Spirit in His ways who are the sons of God (Rom. 8:14). And we have to begin overcoming our own self-natures, the wrong ways of this world which have become fixed habit, and the devil. We must ‘grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ’ (II Peter 3:18).

“Yes, even as the unborn, but begotten, human baby must grow from its beginning size no larger than a pinpoint, fed on physical food, so once we are impregnated by God’s Holy Spirit—His LIFE—we must GROW spiritually, fed on the spiritual food of God’s Word the Bible, and by prayer, and what fellowship is possible with truly begotten brethren in God’s truth.

“And unless we do continue to grow in spiritual character development, more and more like God, we become like the unborn babe that miscarries—or like an abortion! And such shall never be born of God!

Glorious World Tomorrow

“What wonderful, almost incomprehensible, GLORIOUS GOOD NEWS!

And the best news is, that the coming of Christ is now drawing very near! Just a very few more years! And then—the peaceful, happy, glorious WORLD TOMORROW!

“All who now are begotten sons of God shall then be born—elevated from mortal to immortal, from decaying flesh to spirit—from human to divine!

“And that TRUE born-again experience will be incomparably more glorious than the false, vague, meaningless, so-called ‘born-again experience’ that deceived thousands think they have had now.

“Can your mind grasp what an incredible, transcendent glory is the true potential of those who do believe, repent and obey?

“But, the scriptures that break before our eyes this glorious good news, also warn us to take heed, and to make our calling and election SURE!”
