Weekly Readings

For the Sabbath of April 5, 2014

The person conducting the Sabbath service should open services with two or three hymns, or psalms, followed by an opening prayer acknowledging that two or three (or more) are gathered together in Christ Jesus’ name, and inviting the Lord to be with them.

 Lest you be wise in your own sight, I want you to understand this mystery, brothers: a partial hardening has come upon Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. And in this way all Israel will be saved, as it is written, "The Deliverer will come from Zion, He will banish ungodliness from Jacob"; "and this will be my covenant with them when I take away their sins." As regards the gospel, they are enemies of God for your sake. But as regards election, they are beloved for the sake of their forefathers. For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. For just as you were at one time disobedient to God but now have received mercy because of their disobedience, so they too have now been disobedient in order that by the mercy shown to you they also may now receive mercy. For God has consigned all to disobedience, that he may have mercy on all. Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and how inscrutable His ways! (Rom 11:25–33 emphasis added)

6.

As the Lord spoke to Moses from the burning bush that was not consumed by flames, this fire being non-oxidizing heavenly fire representing the glory of God (see Ezek 1:26–28), God will speak to the elder of the two witnesses who will be as Moses was, with the other witness to be as Aaron was, these two witnesses also being two natural brothers, one who has been a figurative fugitive from the world [equivalent to Moses] through having been foreknown by the Father and predestined to be glorified while still dwelling in a fleshly body—the other of the two witnesses will be an experienced spokesperson in this world and the spokesman for his brother; he will be equivalent to Aaron. And God through Christ will “speak” to the elder of the two witnesses not in utterances that can be heard with ears, that is as modulations of sound waves created by the physical breath of a person, but as modulations of the breath of God [pneuma Theou] coming to the elder brother in the form of the Parakletos, the spirit [pneuma] of truth [the revealing of what has been concealed], which this brother then “deciphers” into human words that when spoken by this brother causes things to happen physically here on earth as the inverse [chiral image] of the man Jesus speaking the Father’s words during His earthly ministry as words that healed the infirm. The words spoken by this brother, the elder of the two witnesses, will become weaponized harmonics that cause drought and plagues and drives humanity into kill zones with weather, or that cause the faithful to remain sheltered in place (established in situ).

The younger of the two brothers that are the chiral image of Moses and Aaron will come to his brother as Aaron came to Moses when it is time for the fullness of Gentiles to come to God. He will come in an establishment of headship; an establishment of who will be as the inner self of a person is to the person’s fleshly body, or as the husband is to his wife, or as Christ is to His disciple. It will be the younger of these two brothers that in the Affliction (the first 1260 days of the seven endtime years) will rewrite the role of Aaron for the Remnant in the Endurance (the last 1260 days of the seven endtime years that is the time-linked chiral image of the Affliction). This younger brother will become the divine interface between God and the nations of this world. This younger brother will be, by this world’s measure, someone who heals.

When the Law moves from being inscribed by the finger of the Lord on two stone tablets that He prepared—these tablets being broken by Moses who cast them to the ground—to being written on the hearts and placed in the minds (two tablets of flesh) by the spirit of God [pneuma Theou], Israel will not be an outwardly circumcised people under a Law that when read is heard with human ears. Rather, Israel will be a people circumcised of heart, a circumcision not made with hands (Col 2:11) but by the soft breath/spirit of God (Rom 2:26–29), and the Law will be within all of Israel, great and small, so that all will know the Lord. Thus, it should come as no surprise that Moses speaking to the burning brush will move to being the spirit of the man [to pneuma tou ’anthropou], made alive by the indwelling of the spirit of Christ [pneuma Christou], of the elder witness speaking directly to God as Moses spoke to the Lord. There will be nothing here for human eyes to see: no visible miracles. As history has had to rely upon Moses to faithfully report what the Lord said to him as the Lord installed the children of Israel in the Promised Land, history will have to rely upon the elder witness to faithfully report what God tells him. And as the man Moses was “named” the son of no-name, or born of no one named, the elder witness will historically have no “name” in this world: his name will become a title akin to Shem, a name meaning “a name.”

Where all of this leads is to the relationship of the two witnesses with greater Christendom being foreshadowed by the relationship between Moses and Aaron to the outwardly circumcised men of Israel, this relationship not being a harmonious meeting of minds but a relationship based on fear …

Because the words of the glorified Christ spoken by the elder of the two witnesses will become weaponized harmonics, giving to the elder witness greater power than Moses had in the days when Egyptians sought to use harmonics to do work for this people, the elder brother will have the ability to wage war against any peoples or nation or allied nations through the manipulation of the weather, with the two witnesses able to “speak” fire into existence as their self-defense weaponry … by simply speaking, the elder witness will be able to do what conspiracy theorists contend that the scientists working on the HAARP [High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program] at Gukona, Alaska, now attempt to do by bulging the ionosphere, thereby manipulating the jet stream; e.g., pulling the westerly jet stream south to produce three polar vortexes over mid-America the winter of 2013-2014, all the while blaming global warming [human caused climate change] for the coldest winter since global cooling was the imminent threat to human survival in the 1970s. If—and this is a major caveat—American and Russian scientists are attempting to wage weather war against the other, with neither being very good at what they attempt, then the world is about where Egypt was when Moses led Israel out from physical slavery and the Lord brought destruction upon Egypt.

If American and Russian scientists are attempting to use focused radio waves between AM and CB band widths to coax the ionosphere into giving off ultra low frequency waves as figurative heartbeats, giving to the Earth a pulse that can be measured as well as used to transmit knowledge from pole to pole, these scientists are as children playing with a loaded revolver found in their parents’ bedroom nightstand: they are going to accidently kill a sibling or a friend … the two witnesses will wage weather warfare, but will do so with the intent to kill an idea, that man can rule himself. The two witnesses will be anti-democratic, anti-socialist, anti-progressive, anti all forms of self governance. And during the Affliction, real war—but not with guns and tanks—will be waged between the two witnesses and the lawless one (a human person possessed by the Adversary) and the false prophet (a demonic king, an angel, given the mind of a man). This war will be unlike any previously seen, with human survival in question.

“And I [Christ] will grant authority to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth." These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth. And if anyone would harm them, fire pours from their mouth and consumes their foes. If anyone would harm them, this is how he is doomed to be killed. They have the power to shut the sky, that no rain may fall during the days of their prophesying, and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood and to strike the earth with every kind of plague, as often as they desire. And when they have finished their testimony, the beast [demonic king, Abaddon] that rises from the bottomless pit will make war on them and conquer them and kill them, and their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city that symbolically is called Sodom and Egypt, where their Lord was crucified. (Rev 11:3–8)

And,

And if those days had not been cut short, no human being would be saved. But for the sake of the Elect those days will be cut short. Then if anyone says to you, “Look, here is the Christ!” or “There he is!” do not believe it. For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the Elect. (Matt 24:22–24)

Weaponizing harmonics and waging weather war could easily escalate into blowing away the earth’s ionosphere and exosphere that serve a living Earth as human skin serves the fleshly body of a human person: the Earth would then look somewhat like Mars now looks.

If Egypt could harness sound or natural resonance to do work for that ancient nation through the observation of men, or more likely, through the observation of one man—a man such as the American John Browning, who noticed that the passage of discharged gases from firing a shot bent grasses at the end of a rifle’s barrel and who then installed a gas vent near the end of a barrel, a gas-operated piston and pushrod to operate the action, and created a new category of weapons, gas operated machine guns and submachine guns—if one ancient Egyptian figured out how to use harmonics to levitate stone as some engineers have speculated when trying to understand how the pyramids were constructed, then scientists today are striving for a similar level of understanding in how to use harmonics to manipulate weather and mitigate the effects of perceived global warming. But again, for scientists to manipulate a pulsing ionosphere that pulls and pushes on the jet stream is akin to handing a child a loaded gun, telling the child to be careful with it, then leaving the child to figure out how to safely use the firearm, which was about all of the instruction I received with a .22 for my twelfth birthday. My father was deceased; my mother had not yet met my stepfather; and I had to learn on my own what the potential of a .22 was, from killing deer to killing a moose with head shots. Thus, while scientists are potentially capable of learning how to manipulate the weather without blowing away the atmosphere, military tacticians are not … allegedly, Israeli politicians said in the 1960s–1970s that if nuclear weapons were used against Israel, that nation would take the world down with it. And that typifies the thinking of this world’s militaries.

So there is absolutely no doubt, the two witnesses will weaponize harmonics—the sound pulses of their modulated breaths—and will use weaponized harmonics in a weather war that pits God against the Adversary, this war fought through surrogates [the two witnesses versus the man of perdition and the false prophet]. The Earth will come to the brink of losing its atmosphere, and would lose its atmosphere if God didn’t cut short the Affliction for the sake of the Elect. This near escape from mass extinction of all living species will underlay a general reputation of technology in the Endurance of Jesus, this reputation of technology then continuing into the Millennium.

The two witnesses are central to scaring humanity into giving up its present technologies that will soon unite human persons with machines in a hybrid form of life akin to what is currently being done to place animal genes in plant-life, or spider genes in dairy cattle … if cows were supposed to spin webs, cows would be as small as spiders and as such, easily stepped-on.

When the man of perdition [the lawless one] can perform great signs and wonders, even to calling fire down from heaven, and when the two witnesses—antagonists of the man of perdition and the false prophet—can change weather patterns and can call into existence plagues that modern medicine cannot stop, human survival will truly be jeopardized by not strange new technologies, but by those things already technologically possible or soon possible. A brave new world will be akin to life on Mars—and there is no life on Mars, at least not since its atmosphere (which it apparently had) was stripped away. And the scare of what nearly happened here on earth, coupled with all living creatures being baptized in spirit thereby having their natures changed (e.g., Isa 11:6–9), will be enough to convince even the most diehard technology junkie to embrace an Amish-style life of subsistence agriculture.

Job was perfect in all of his ways out of fear of the Lord, not out of love for the Lord, a distinction of significance. Humanity, made “perfect” through baptism in spirit, will remain perfect in the Endurance [or will be condemned to the lake of fire] out of fear of God, not love for God, with the traumatizing effect of nearly turning the earth into another Mars providing the emphasis of continuing in perfection.

Consider what Job said,

Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before [YHWH], and Satan also came among them to present himself before [YHWH]. And [YHWH] said to Satan, "From where have you come?" Satan answered [YHWH] and said, "From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking up and down on it." And [YHWH] said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, who fears God and turns away from evil? He still holds fast his integrity, although you incited me against him to destroy him without reason." Then Satan answered [YHWH] and said, "Skin for skin! All that a man has he will give for his life. But stretch out your hand and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse you to your face." And [YHWH] said to Satan, "Behold, he is in your hand; only spare his life."

So Satan went out from the presence of [YHWH] and struck Job with loathsome sores from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head.

And he [Job] took a piece of broken pottery with which to scrape himself while he sat in the ashes. Then his wife said to him, "Do you still hold fast your integrity? Curse God and die." But he said to her, "You speak as one of the foolish women would speak. Shall we receive good from God, and shall we not receive evil?" In all this Job did not sin with his lips.

Now when Job's three friends heard of all this evil that had come upon him, they came each from his own place, Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite. They made an appointment together to come to show him sympathy and comfort him. And when they saw him from a distance, they did not recognize him. And they raised their voices and wept, and they tore their robes and sprinkled dust on their heads toward heaven. And they sat with him on the ground seven days and seven nights, and no one spoke a word to him, for they saw that his suffering was very great. (Job 2:1–13 emphasis added)

Job was of the nations, a Gentile, one who feared God and did not sin either with hand or body or mouth. Job did not defile himself with his mouth; yet fault can be found with what Job said. Shall we receive good from God, and shall we not receive evil? What evil did the Lord do Job? The Lord did no harm to Job. It was the Adversary that caused harm to come to Job in first his possessions then in his person. It was the Adversary that brought great suffering upon Job. It was the Adversary that did not understand why the Lord had brought Job to his attention; for in Job, pious Gentiles in the Endurance can be seen …

A partial hardening came over Israel—and now remains over both natural and spiritual Israel—until the fullness of Gentiles come to God out of fear of God, with this fullness of Gentiles to learn from the Affliction and Endurance the lesson that Job learned, a lesson that the Adversary was unable to teach Job: without love, no one can please God. It is not enough to be scared into perfection, where the fullness of Gentiles will be when they come to God through the world being baptized in spirit following war between the two witnesses and the man of perdition and the false prophet [two entities] that threatened to strip away the Earth’s atmosphere.

Again, how will it be possible for the two witnesses to shut skies during the days of their ministry? How about parking a high pressure front over California, over France, fronts that alter storm tracks analogous to a winter high pressure front over the Gulf of Alaska pushing squalls north over the mainland where they build and get trapped by the Alaska Range and are then sent south as a line of marching Arctic maulers that strike middle America? How about pushing against the exosphere and permitting the ionosphere to raise and reroute the jet stream so that polar vortexes strike the northern hemisphere as if the vortexes were a gaucho bolas, thrown to entangle the economies of America and Europe? Instead of cloud seeding to increase rainfall over the Ho Chi Minh Trail to slow the advance of North Vietnam forces and supplies (America’s Operation Popeye, 1967–1972) through extending the monsoon season by a month, a month and a half, the two witnesses will shut skies, using drought and desertification to drive humanity into kill zones where those who have rebelled against God will perish. They will simply starve to death. No M16s, AK47s will be needed. The Muslim will perish because Allah didn’t provide. The Catholic will perish because Christ didn’t answer prayers. The atheist will perish because he or she has no hope of deliverance from an increasingly unrecognizable world. All of humanity will be as the Sons of Korah were when Psalm 44 was composed.

The man of perdition and the false prophet will figuratively bump chests with the two witnesses as one weather move is played against another weather move, one plague is played against another plague, with humanity coming to hate the two witnesses that cannot win the war being fought, that can only bring additional harm upon humanity, but who also are not supposed to win. For the two witnesses do not fight against men but against demonic kings, their fight being against Death, the fourth horseman of the Apocalypse, whom they will defeat through being killed on a date certain and resurrected from death after three days.

However, again, the two witnesses with their weather war will drive humanity onto less and less land, and into specific locations from which humanity cannot escape. In order to eat, to keep from starving, humanity will have to move, not at the speed of air travel, but at the slow speed of foot travel; not at the speed of autos and trucks, but at the speed of horse and sail. And humanity will have to keep moving toward the equator, north to south, and south to north, seeking whatever shelter from climate change as can be had—for climate change will truly be upon humanity.

In pushing a climate change agenda while engaging in experiments to modify weather from apparently believing their own hype about climate change and manmade carbon emissions, the United States of America in particular (and the Russian Federation in theory) is pushing humanity to its farthest from God … it won’t manner whether there are openly homosexual soldiers in the U.S. military services when war won’t be fought with tanks and fighter aircraft, but with harmonics of all sort, the harmonics of a world spoken into existence. It won’t matter how deep Iran buries its uranium enrichment program—harmonics can cause a quake that fractures even solid rock, a fracture like the cleaving of the Mount of Olives in two (cf. Zech 14:4; Dan 2:44–45).

The world was spoken into existence, this reality seen in super-string theory. The world will come to its end through the moderated resonance of utterance, harmonics.

America’s HAARP project has changed contractors, but no change can silence conspiracy theorists that “know” much less than they intuitively understand … the camps of those who built the pyramids have been located and excavated: a small work force was employed, not millions of men. Ancient Egypt had the capability to do work that we cannot easily duplicate, especially not in a similar length of time. Other ancient peoples could move mammoth stones (e.g., Stonehenge) …

There is some evidence suggesting post-Flood [in the days of Peleg], the Earth’s diameter expanded ten to twelve percent without a similar increase in mass, thereby lowering atmospheric pressure and thinning the atmosphere while breaking apart Pangaea and setting continental drift in motion. Those who have speculated about this increase in global diameter haven’t really taken into account the effect lowered atmospheric pressure would have on the use of harmonics to do work for human persons. And here isn’t the place to explore the possibilities. But mid-America experienced three polar vortexes this past winter, as well as a cold, wet spring. It appears as if global warming has returned to being global cooling, this summed up in the phrase climate change, a possible covering-expression for infantile attempts to temporarily manipulate weather as a force multiplier in the global war of haves versus have-nots.

In January–February 1989, I was in Fairbanks and living in Yak Estate, family housing for University of Alaska students. Yak Estate is approximately seven miles from Fairbanks International Airport. In the summer, airport traffic can barely be heard. In the cold dense air of Fairbanks’ typical winters, air traffic could be heard, but this traffic sounded as if the airport was several miles away. However, for the period when very cold air sat over interior Alaska that January 1989—when our daytime highs did not reach minus fifty for more than five weeks and barometric pressure reached 31.85” [1078.6 mb]—airport traffic had landing planes sounding as if they were landing on my head, such was the magnification of harmonics due to air density. I then understood how a whale song at the equator could be heard by whales off Antarctica … I would witness in 2003 a young Walker hound stop an attacking German Shepherd with her voice, turning at the last moment to face her attacker and not fighting with teeth but with a “bay” that became a wall of sound able to tumble the Shepherd and give me time to rescue the hound.

The person conducting the Sabbath service should close services with two hymns, or psalms, followed by a prayer asking God’s dismissal.
