Christ The Antidote Regarding Death
CHRIST THE ANTIDOTE REGARDING DEATH
Part 61.
The Key To David Building His House!
''You know how David my father could not build a house to the Name of the Lord his God because
wars were about him on every side, until the Lord put his foes under his feet. But now the Lord my
God has given me rest on every side, so that there is neither adversary nor evil confronting me.'' 1Ki
5:3-4. Amplified.
David who is our type today could not accomplish building his house in peace until his enemies were
defeated, it will be no different today, keeping in mind that the enemies are not so much the true person
but the adamic understanding that is within them. We must understand that there is a vast difference
between the spiritually inspired & the religiously inspired. There is also a vast difference between a
fleshly disagreement & a spiritual one. Unfortunately there are always clashes, look at the life of Jesus &
how He reacted to His clashes with the religious. The real difference is between flesh & spirit, religion &
truth, which stems from the attitude of the heart. The question is in all honesty which do we want,
religion or truth? Then war broke out in the heaven-lies, Rev 12:7. Where did this war stem from? The
attitude of the heart! I want to do it my way, in many cases it can be compromise. There is one thing that
we can mark down; before real Davidic Christlike peace there will always ensue a spiritual war ''until
the Lord puts his foes under his feet.'' Then & not until then will there be ''rest on every side, so that
there will be neither adversary nor evil confronting me.''
''For he must reign, till he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy that shall be
abolished is death.'' Co 15:25-26. ASV.
I Will Open Your Graves!
In Ezek 37:12, We read ''Thus says the Lord God: Behold I will open your graves and cause you to
come up out of your graves, O my people; and I will bring you [back home]....'' Amp.
The graves or tombs that many are in & experiencing are really, as someone has wisely stated ''there
is no deeper death than ignorance & unbelief'' & in reality this is the deepest death that any man can
experience. The spirit of God speaking through Ezekiel, the great prophet has wonderfully shared with us
the above passage. I will open your graves & cause you to come up out of your graves your ignorance &
unbelief. It would also be good for us to take more than a passing glance at the word UP.
Turning now to an accompanying passage found in Jn 5:25-29. We read that the time is coming & is
now here when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God & those that hear it shall live.
Interestingly the word dead is from the Greek word nekros & in this case is referring to those who are
dead spiritually, those who as yet have had no enlightenment & are in a state of ignorance & unbelief.
The wonderful promise is that John has written under inspiration that the time is not only coming but is
even here now when these dead ones will not only hear but shall LIVE. The voice of the Son of God is
not necessarily an audible voice, but a spiritual voice, one that speaks within, a spiritual awakening as it
were. In verse 26 we are told that as the Father has life in Himself & is self existent, so He has also given
this same life to the Son to also be self existent. It is quite wonderful when we realise that this very same
life is our very same life, then we further realise that ''he that has the Son, has the father also.''
1
Christ The Antidote Regarding Death
Interestingly the word tomb or grave is from the word minemeion Strongs # 3419 & its meaning is a
place of remembrance. In one sense many of us have already experienced a partial experience of our
awakening & in this there is a place of remembrance of what we were before this, & this memory
reminds us constantly not to return – as the dog to its vomit – but this experience is only partial compared
to what is ahead as we are promised that we are going to come completely out of our now partial
experience into a complete resurrection from our ignorance & unbelief, the finished work which is
already within us will be fully realised & we will be given the capacity, impetus & understanding as to
how to avail ourselves fully to what is already partially latent within us, & may I say that the key & only
way will be by the FAITH of God.
This brings us to peruse several very fitting verses found in Heb 7:16-19, ''Who has been constituted
a Priest, not on the basis of a bodily legal requirement [an externally imposed command concerning His
physical ancestry], but on the basis of the power of an endless and indestructible Life. For it is
witnessed of Him, You are a Priest forever after the order (with the rank) of Melchizedek. So a previous
physical regulation and command is cancelled because of its weakness and ineffectiveness and
uselessness-- For the Law never made anything perfect--but instead a better hope is introduced
through which we [now] come close to God.'' Amplified.
Please note the Christ the Holy One who is in us & is our true identity is a Priest after the order of
Melchizedek who has the power of an endless & indestructible life. We also are told that the previous
regulation & command of the weak adamic flesh life has been cancelled - this we need to dwell on -
because of its weakness & ineffectiveness & instead we are given a far better hope in that we now come
close to God. The KJV would tell us that ''we draw nigh to God'' in our present most holy place
understanding we of course know what this is saying to us today, when in conjunction with this thought
we read in Mt 28:18.
''And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, All authority is given to Me in Heaven and in earth.''
MKJV. Consider carefully where this One who has all ''All authority'' is now situated; yes within you &
I. In returning to John 5:27 he verifies & enhances our point which is saying the same thing in a slightly
different way.
''and has given Him authority to execute judgement also, because He is the Son of Man.'' Jn 5: 27.
MKJV.
Verse 28 would iterate exactly what Ezekiel shared with us as regard the opening of the graves, John
tells us to not be surprised at this for the time is coming when all those who are in the tombs shall hear
His voice, verse 29 ''And they shall come out.'' to the resurrection of new life. The word resurrection
here is from the word anastasis Strongs #386. As well as meaning being raised to life again, it also
means the recovery of spiritual truth. Very interestingly it is directly related to the very next word
anistatoo Strongs #387. Its meaning is to drive out of home, to disturb, trouble, turn upside down, make
an uproar.
I Have Not Come To Bring Peace, But A Sword!
I would say at this point that the true understanding of the man-child with the finished work is at the
moment filling all of these descriptions as it is to many - disturbing, troubling, turning the preconceived
thoughts of many upside down & causing others to make an uproar - in that when Jesus mentioned that on
the cross that it was finished, has certainly upset the proverbial religious – apple cart – for many. This
understanding could be likened to the giants at the time of Joshua & Caleb, they were a seemingly
unanswerable problem. But know this that even though all of Israel at that time followed the faithless
spies, their own offspring 20 years old & younger eventually experienced & found possible that which
their own fathers thought impossible. The giant that has arisen in many men's hearts today I believe is the
giant of the finished work in its true understanding. Thank God that there will be a repetition & the very
outnumbered Joshua's & Caleb's will go into the promised land first & join the faith of our David & win
the battle over their Goliath's, GIANTS. Those who are moving ahead in their true Christ identity cannot
fail. When we say first we are of course referring the birth of the man-child who is destined to shepherd,
2
Christ The Antidote Regarding Death
rule all nations with an iron staff sceptre & furthermore this child is caught up to God & His throne as
forerunners – or those who are the first-fruits - for the rest of mankind. Now if this does not fit into our
present way of thinking, I have found that further advancement always has to do with our attitude &
willingness to change. The advice that was given to me some years back I would now pass on to others,
What is the Spirit of the Father really saying to us today? As a student of the Word I have yet to find
where the majority are ever the recipients or the possessors of truth as it has ALWAYS been the minority
that God uses to bring His truth & will to the majority, & mark this in every case that I can find the
majority have always vehemently insisted with human reason that they were right. One thing that must
be said at this point is, the truth of the man-child cannot be received without revelation from God Himself
& this is the sole priority of our Father. It is not just an understanding it is an experience.
We would also add that the resurrection already mentioned is a recovery of the spiritual truth that we
once walked in - in aeons past - which is the realisation of the Melchizedekian power of an endless life,
which also entails the full understanding & experience of an indestructible life.
The Woman The Child And The War!
Our reading is from Rev 12:1-17. This chapter is of course a part of what is mentioned in the very first
verse of this book, the things which must shortly & speedily come to pass in their entirety.
Verse:1. ''And a great sign a warning of future events of ominous significance appeared in heaven: a
woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, & with a crown-like tiara of twelve stars on
her head.''
Please notice that the moon is the reflected light from the sun which I see quite clearly as
representing the carnal mind that forms the basis of all religion in that it is not the true light but only a
reflection of that light.
Verse: 2. ''She was pregnant and she cried out in her birth pangs, in the anguish of her delivery.''
We see that this mystical spiritual woman is pregnant & she is crying out in her birth pangs, in the
anguish of her delivery as in Jn 16:21. Birth pangs can cause many reactions. The woman is not as many
suppose, the visible religious groups that many give heed to, no it is those who are among the many who
are sincerely seeing & seeking their loving Father within & are even now pregnant with child & the
anguish of the trials of the unbelief of opposition would be assailing her.
Verse: 3. ''Then another ominous sign was also seen in heaven - heavenly places - a huge, fiery red
dragon, with seven heads & ten horns, & seven kingly crowns diadems upon his heads.''
It is not my intention to go into the meaning of all of these types & shadows as much time would be
needed, but to lay out to the best of my ability a foundation & to bring to your attention more of the
surface understanding & in doing so will yet bring an automatic in depth reason for this chapter.
Verse: 4. ''His tail swept (across the sky) & dragged down one third of the stars & flung them to the
earth. And the dragon stationed himself in front of the woman who was about to be delivered, so that he
might devour her child as soon as she brought it forth.''
The subject of stars in this sense is quite interesting, stars in the natural are in the heavens & are
looked up to. The greatest spiritual star of course is the bright & morning star. Some have with good
reason designated these stars as pastors, be that as it may these particular stars are certainly not in the
natural heavens but are entities that were in high spiritual places & this terrible beast was somehow able
to deceive & drag them down to the earth earthly things. Then to iterate, ''And the dragon stationed
himself in front of the woman who was about to be delivered, so that he might devour her child as soon
as it brought forth''. Daniel 8:10 also adds to this thought.
3
Christ The Antidote Regarding Death
Verse: 5. Further tells us ''And she the woman brought forth a man-child, One who is destined to
shepherd (rule) all the nations with an iron staff (scepter), and her Child was caught up to God and His
throne.''
In researching this I found that this child is amazingly born a fully developed man, the reason for this
is that he has been in spiritual preparation for sometime. To bear this thought out we plainly read He is
destined to shepherd or rule all the nations with a rod of iron - iron staff or sceptre - & furthermore this
mature child is caught up immediately to God & to His throne. The wonderful significance of this is
found in both chap 2:26-29 & 3:21. There are of course many other powerful texts throughout the Bible
that verify this even further.
Verse: 6. ''And the woman herself fled into the desert wilderness where she has a retreat prepared for
her by God, in which she is to be fed & kept safe for 1,260 days 42 months;three & one half years.''
The whole book of Revelation is full of symbols, one has wisely written that we cannot take any
figure or symbol literally, any of the numbers, dates or times do not mean what they would seem on the
surface. Only the Spirit can open the reality of these things to us. If you have had some of these things
opened to you, wonderful. In reality right at this moment the Father is readying a man-child to be caught
up to His throne.
Verse: 7. ''Then war then war broke out in heaven heavenly places: Michael & his angels went forth
to battle with the dragon & his angels fought.'' 2Sam 3:1.
I would say at this point that we need to keep in mind that God's judgements do not ever mean
condemnation. God does & will bring constant judgements & none of them are with condemnation to
any of us, when we understand this we will have realised that our Father is LOVE & He never changes, as
His Kingdom ''cannot be shaken.'' Furthermore even though God's mercies rejoice against man's
judgements; in any scriptural instance we can find God's mercies are also always connected to His
judgements.
There is much to be said regarding this great one called Michael. J. Preston Eby has been very
comprehensive regarding MICHAEL in his last episode of FROM THE CANDLESTICK TO THE THRONE.
Part 141. Which if you are not yet receiving, his address is J. Preston Eby. P. O. Box 371240. El Paso
Tx. 79937-1240.
Now on the subject of Michael I do not wish to try to emulate bro Eby, as I could not, but I will in my
own way & words share briefly with you what I had prepared by hand recently in the coffee shop that I
frequent occasionally as a solace or change from where I at the moment reside.
In Daniel 10:13b. Many translations read, '' Then Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me.''
This is not a true translation. We find that the literal translation by Doctor Young is held in the highest
esteem by most in depth Bible scholars & reads ''and lo, Michael, first of the chief heads, hath come''
Dan 10:13. Young-s.
In Dan 12:1a we read ''And at that time [of the end] Michael shall arise, the great [angelic] prince
who defends and has charge of your [Daniel's] people.'' Amp. In Acts 7:35-38 we read of the Angel who
appeared to Moses at the burning bush & also spoke to him on Mt Sinai. On close perusal we realise that
this Angel & the great angelic prince Michael are the exact same entity.
In 1Thess 4:16 ''For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a loud cry of summons, with
the shout of an archangel, and with the blast of the trumpet of God. And those who have departed this
life in Christ will rise first.'' Amplified.
We find here clearly that the voice of the Archangel is mentioned & in this shout is also the trumpet
of God they are both part of the one. The one & the same. Very surprising to some we will not find
anywhere where there is more than one archangel, you will not find any evidence other than in handed
down religious tradition that Gabriel, Lucifer or any other entity is an archangel there is only ONE. This
4
Christ The Antidote Regarding Death
one is the Angel of the Lord & is none other than Michael also according to several Bible dictionaries
that are in my possession the very meaning of the name Michael is one who is like God.
To return to Rev 12:7, we read that those who lead this war are Michael & His angels - messengers -
to do battle. I ask the question why is Jesus not mentioned here? Simple! The explanation is clearly
found in these words, ''For the Lord HIMSELF will descend from heaven with a loud cry of summons,
WITH the shout of an ARCHANGEL, and with the blast of the trumpet of God.'' This is in actual fact
the exact occurrence we read of in this verse - the descending with a loud cry - mentioned. The Lord Jesus
& the Archangel are one & the same but in different roles. Many are the roles of Jesus Christ. The
Comforter, The Coming King, The Creator, The Good Shepherd, The First & the Last, The Rock, & many
many more.
Verse: 8. ''But they were defeated, - the dragon & his angels - and there was no room found for them
in heaven – the consciousness of man – any longer.'' This all happens after the man-child is born & then
declares war & wins. After this episode the man-child then begins to lead & enlighten the rest of
mankind.
Verse: 9. Is most thrilling & specific. ''And the huge dragon was cast down & out----that age old
serpent, who is called the Devil & Satan, he who is the seducer (deceiver) of all humanity the world over;
he was forced out & down to the earth - dust - & his angels were flung out along with him.''
Something that I think that will be of interest to most is the fact that the description of a huge dragon
which was cast out in contrast with the original title in Gen 3:1 serpent, as we have mentioned in earlier
writings. The question we would ask is how come he has grown in such proportions? The answer is
simple, in the mind of men. Over a period of time they have listened to the Adamic dream, that is, what
is perceived by the senses seeing, hearing, etc, & coupled with the imaginations of the lower man, have
thought the very worst. When the truth is fully realised we will find that what we have thought was truth
was only an imagined carnal adamic delusion. The original serpent was never an animal that could be
touched, it was a spiritual allegory which grew in the minds of men to such proportions until that same
serpent became a huge dragon that in truth never existed ONLY IN THE MINDS OF RELIGIOUSLY
DELUDED MEN & WOMEN. And so very, very soon the lie & liar of all delusion is about to be flung
out & down & become devoid of any spiritual power whatsoever. To which I must say; So be it.
Verse: 10. ''Then I heard a strong loud voice in heaven saying; Now it has come---the salvation and
the power and the kingdom (the dominion, the reign) of our God, and the power (the sovereignty, the
authority) of His Christ (the Messiah); for the accuser of our brethren, he who keeps bringing before our
God charges against them day and night, has been cast out.''
This is a verse that has for many years confused the reader & its meaning is a lot different to what
many have thought. To say that the accuser has access into our most holy place is a deceit of the worst
kind. Job tells us clearly the realm of the accuser. ''And the Lord said to Satan, From where did you
come? Then Satan answered the Lord, From going to and fro on the EARTH and from walking up and
down on it.'' Job 1:7. Amp. The realm of the accuser has always been the earth, our earth, our adamic
consciousness never any higher, there may be some texts that would seem to indicate otherwise but they
are allegories & we do not wish at the moment to take time to deviate. Having established the realm of
the accuser how do we explain the words ''who keeps bringing before our God charges against them
day and night'' Some are convinced that because of these words that the accuser has had access to the
most holy place within us, the God compartment as it were, I reject this most vehemently! He may bring
charges against us but only through the adamic nature realm & no higher, incidentally we must not forget
that we are told here at this time that he the accuser HAS been cast out. Once man is released from the
stall that he has been confined in, in his five sensed adamic existence then all spiritual opposition shall be
as ashes under the soles of our feet. Mal4:2-3.
For those who are unsure as to where they are at the moment, be comforted & assured the accuser has
5
Christ The Antidote Regarding Death
never ever had any access to have accused you TO God in your secret or most holy place NEVER! But if
the verse were to say the word TO this would be an entirely different thing. Actually we could liken the
word before to gossip, if the word to was used it would change the context entirely, but we notice with
relief that it is not used & never could be. Now from one who has most ably written, we quote.
''Satan has no misconceptions about his ability to persuade God of your weakness and worthlessness,
but if he can influence YOU to believe that you are unworthy, that you are a failure, that you are hopeless,
that it is impossible for you to attain to the High Calling of God in Christ, that it is beyond the realm of
possibility for you to lay hold upon life and immortality; or that God does not love you, leaving you
condemned and helpless -- he is thereby able to rob you of all your hope, faith, confidence, joy, peace and
victory!'' Unquote.
Verse: 11. ''And they have overcome (conquered) him by means of the blood of the Lamb and by the
utterance of their testimony, for they did not love and cling to life even when faced with death [holding
their lives cheap till they had to die for their witnessing].''
This has happened in the past, many have given their life literally for the sake of the Gospel, the early
martyrs are our first examples, since the early church many have shed their blood & in many countries
even now some are literally being killed for their faith. The greatest & very effective death is when Paul
himself mentioned ''I die daily'' he proved to all that he counted his natural life as dung for the sake of
the Gospel. There is a dying that we cannot underestimate & that is dying to our popularity or to the
majority. When our wonderful Father first began to speak to me in regards the restitution of all things &
then to lead me out of the church scene, He made me to know that He wanted me to give up & leave every
skerrick of the religiosity of the first two tabernacle experiences. Now I can only share with you the way
that I was led. But I will close this point with these words, it will go a long way in clearing our
conscience if we are willing obey it. ''for they did not love and cling to life even when faced with death
[holding their lives cheap till they had to die for their witnessing].'' Incidentally in this experience of
change, for some time my favourite word was BUT.
''Do not [earnestly] remember the former things; neither consider the things of old. Behold, I am
doing a new thing! Now it springs forth; do you not perceive and know it and will you not give heed to it?
I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.'' Isa 43:18-19. Amp.
Verse: 12. ''Therefore be glad exult, O heavens and you that dwell in them! But woe to you, O earth
and sea, for the devil has come down to you in fierce anger fury, because he knows that he has only a
short time left!''
There is one thing that we need to learn from this verse & that is ADAM DOES NOT WANT TO DIE.
Woe to you O earthly adam & those who are in the raging seas of turmoil & unrest, for this devil that
dwells in the adamic nature who is defying his own death in fierce anger & fury, for there are some that
would dare to wage war for the higher, Godly pure & holy things, that would slay earthy adam & release
the true identity, the true man of God once & for all. Yes there is a war! Why? For the accuser KNOWS
that it is not long before ALL things will be subdued unto a Father of love, mercy & grace & a new world
will be a reality to ALL.
''All flesh is as frail as grass, and all that makes it attractive....is transitory, like the flower of the
field.'' Isa 40:6b.
Verse: 13. ''And when the dragon saw that he was cast down to the earth, he went in pursuit of the
woman who had given birth to the male Child.''
Let us realise two things. One is that the woman is clothed with the sun. Two the moon - the
reflected light - is under her feet, this means that she is not in any way deceived by religiosity & because
of this she is hated by the adversary who is in pursuit of her. The woman who is also the bride, is also that
which is a very real part of our being. One of the reasons that the adversary is so angry as stated in the
6
Christ The Antidote Regarding Death
previous verse is that his hiding place is being exposed, listen carefully to the words of the apostle Paul,
''Who opposes and exalts himself so proudly and insolently against and over all that is called God or
that is worshipped, [even to his actually] taking his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming that he
himself is God.'' 2Thess 2:4. Amp. He has been hidden all along within our adamic identity. How has
he been proclaiming himself as God? Within our ADAMIC identity! This can also be described as
humanism as opposed to Godliness or Spirit. This is another reason that the adversary is so angry & that
is that his hidden secret has been discovered verse 12 & now has only a short time.
Verse: 14. ''But the woman was supplied with the two wings of a giant eagle, so that she might fly
from the presence of the serpent into the desert (wilderness), to the retreat where she is to be kept safe
and fed for a time, and times, and half a time (three and one-half years, or 1,260 days).''
Egypt was carried by Jehovah on eagles wings. Ex 19:4. So it is significant that this allegory is used
here & is a very pertinent type. The desert is confirming to us a place of protection, not only a safe place
but also would indicate a spiritual pasture-land & rest, as the below text would clearly indicate.
''And I will confirm with them a covenant of peace and will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the
land, and [My people] shall dwell safely in the wilderness, desert, or pasture-land and sleep
[confidently] in the woods.'' Eze 34:25. Amp.
Verse: 15. ''Then out of his mouth the serpent spouted forth water like a flood after the woman, that
she might be carried off with the torrent.''
As the raging seas - water - indicate turmoil, in this case the flood of water would also indicate a
similar turmoil, for the plan of the adversary was to carry the woman off, or away from her God intended
destiny. In any natural flood all else is forgotten but survival, the mind is not concerned with past, present
or future but mainly the now problem. But wonderful news our wonderful Father always has a solution,
as we read in the following verse.
Verse:16. ''But the earth came to the rescue of the woman, and the ground opened its mouth and
swallowed up the stream of water which the dragon had spouted from his mouth.''
We notice here that the earth came to the rescue of the woman. We cannot underestimate the wisdom
or the doings of God, for as we know all things work together for good to those who love Him. I can
only say that in this case that whereas the adversary is working in the lower earthy realm he is defeated
by the wisdom of our Father by & in that realm!
Verse:17. ''So then the dragon was furious (enraged) at the woman, and he went away to wage war
on the remainder of her descendants--[on those] who obey God's commandments and who have the
testimony of Jesus Christ [and adhere to it and bear witness to Him].''
The enraged dragon here is by the way typifying a spiritual allegory & not an actual being that was
cast out of heaven which is spiritual mumbo jumbo handed down by religious tradition. So we see this
enraged dragon who has no power over the man-child & has been defeated in verse eight now has also
lost the victory over the woman & is absolutely infuriated. Take notice that all along the one who he is
wanting to gain control over is ADAM your & my adam & ADAM does not want to die & will only do so
when he comes to the end of his tether. We are so glad to report that not only the man-child was single
minded enough to overcome but also the Bride, the woman, is seen for her sincerity. The adversary in his
infuriation now goes to wage war on those who are in a lower spiritual realm yet are those who name the
name of Christ, who obey God's commandments & who have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
I Will Never Leave You Or Forsake You!
Even though the majority of the the world of Christendom think that we have no connection to God in any
7
Christ The Antidote Regarding Death
way until one is born again, this is far from the truth. ''The spirit of man is the lamp of the Lord,
searching all his innermost part.'' Prov. 20:27. Also if we were to question as to how one is born again
we would receive a number of interpretations & each one would think their particular understanding was
the right one & it would be according to their background & interpretation. With the above heading in
mind we now cite from another.
''We would remind you that as the stars are poised in the heavens so also is every human soul poised
in the eternal cycle of life; is held there by and within the sleepless consciousness of the Divine
Intelligence. It is true that the soul has been given a measure of freewill, or power of choice, so that it can
accept or reject good or evil; but it has no power at any time to sever its link with the Supreme Soul,
God---and there is always an upward pull towards God. True enough, for a time the soul may deride,
deny or reject God; but it can never escape from Him, never break its link with Him; and in its extremity
it must surely yield to Him, and return to Him like the Prodigal Son in the parable.
What is happening while the soul is resolved to resist the pull of God which draws upward? It means
that by his own will the man chooses the downward instead of the upward path. Mark, he has not escaped
from God, not even for a moment. The magnetic power of the Divine Intelligence ever holds fast, is ever
inclining him to tread the path back to God. Yet through a myriad transgressions he will follow the path
of evil, downwards, downwards. At last comes the inevitable change of heart, the arising, the beginning
of the long upward climb with bleeding feet back to God. This is why no man can ever escape his destiny,
which is to attain to ultimate perfection through an ultimate return to his Creator.
Yet it is true that before man can become godlike he must pass through the lowest arc, must bottom
the depths of evil as well as attain the heights; must pass through the deepest hell and touch the high
heaven which is his eventual home.
When the personal man can grasp a truth so tremendous as this he will cease to condemn any fellow
creature; for then the bright ideal of man's perfect soul, towards which both he and all his fellow creatures
are striving through good and through evil will fill his heart with gladness. He will then think, 'My
brother's path is his choice alone;' my path is mine. What matter? Why should I condemn anyone? The
human ego can attain by this path alone to 'Overcoming-Godliness'; first over its own weaknesses and
failings, then over its environment and the many limitations with which human life is encompassed.''
Unquote.
Some of what has been written from the 12th Chapter of Revelation & Daniel may seem alarming
when we realise what the future holds this is why we have inserted, I Will Never Leave You Or Forsake
You! Which gives us confidence in our eternal destiny& that is; I will draw ALL UNTO ME!
This is all part of the key to David building his house.

Part 61 The Key To David Building His House!

  • 1. Christ The Antidote Regarding Death CHRIST THE ANTIDOTE REGARDING DEATH Part 61. The Key To David Building His House! ''You know how David my father could not build a house to the Name of the Lord his God because wars were about him on every side, until the Lord put his foes under his feet. But now the Lord my God has given me rest on every side, so that there is neither adversary nor evil confronting me.'' 1Ki 5:3-4. Amplified. David who is our type today could not accomplish building his house in peace until his enemies were defeated, it will be no different today, keeping in mind that the enemies are not so much the true person but the adamic understanding that is within them. We must understand that there is a vast difference between the spiritually inspired & the religiously inspired. There is also a vast difference between a fleshly disagreement & a spiritual one. Unfortunately there are always clashes, look at the life of Jesus & how He reacted to His clashes with the religious. The real difference is between flesh & spirit, religion & truth, which stems from the attitude of the heart. The question is in all honesty which do we want, religion or truth? Then war broke out in the heaven-lies, Rev 12:7. Where did this war stem from? The attitude of the heart! I want to do it my way, in many cases it can be compromise. There is one thing that we can mark down; before real Davidic Christlike peace there will always ensue a spiritual war ''until the Lord puts his foes under his feet.'' Then & not until then will there be ''rest on every side, so that there will be neither adversary nor evil confronting me.'' ''For he must reign, till he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy that shall be abolished is death.'' Co 15:25-26. ASV. I Will Open Your Graves! In Ezek 37:12, We read ''Thus says the Lord God: Behold I will open your graves and cause you to come up out of your graves, O my people; and I will bring you [back home]....'' Amp. The graves or tombs that many are in & experiencing are really, as someone has wisely stated ''there is no deeper death than ignorance & unbelief'' & in reality this is the deepest death that any man can experience. The spirit of God speaking through Ezekiel, the great prophet has wonderfully shared with us the above passage. I will open your graves & cause you to come up out of your graves your ignorance & unbelief. It would also be good for us to take more than a passing glance at the word UP. Turning now to an accompanying passage found in Jn 5:25-29. We read that the time is coming & is now here when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God & those that hear it shall live. Interestingly the word dead is from the Greek word nekros & in this case is referring to those who are dead spiritually, those who as yet have had no enlightenment & are in a state of ignorance & unbelief. The wonderful promise is that John has written under inspiration that the time is not only coming but is even here now when these dead ones will not only hear but shall LIVE. The voice of the Son of God is not necessarily an audible voice, but a spiritual voice, one that speaks within, a spiritual awakening as it were. In verse 26 we are told that as the Father has life in Himself & is self existent, so He has also given this same life to the Son to also be self existent. It is quite wonderful when we realise that this very same life is our very same life, then we further realise that ''he that has the Son, has the father also.'' 1
  • 2. Christ The Antidote Regarding Death Interestingly the word tomb or grave is from the word minemeion Strongs # 3419 & its meaning is a place of remembrance. In one sense many of us have already experienced a partial experience of our awakening & in this there is a place of remembrance of what we were before this, & this memory reminds us constantly not to return – as the dog to its vomit – but this experience is only partial compared to what is ahead as we are promised that we are going to come completely out of our now partial experience into a complete resurrection from our ignorance & unbelief, the finished work which is already within us will be fully realised & we will be given the capacity, impetus & understanding as to how to avail ourselves fully to what is already partially latent within us, & may I say that the key & only way will be by the FAITH of God. This brings us to peruse several very fitting verses found in Heb 7:16-19, ''Who has been constituted a Priest, not on the basis of a bodily legal requirement [an externally imposed command concerning His physical ancestry], but on the basis of the power of an endless and indestructible Life. For it is witnessed of Him, You are a Priest forever after the order (with the rank) of Melchizedek. So a previous physical regulation and command is cancelled because of its weakness and ineffectiveness and uselessness-- For the Law never made anything perfect--but instead a better hope is introduced through which we [now] come close to God.'' Amplified. Please note the Christ the Holy One who is in us & is our true identity is a Priest after the order of Melchizedek who has the power of an endless & indestructible life. We also are told that the previous regulation & command of the weak adamic flesh life has been cancelled - this we need to dwell on - because of its weakness & ineffectiveness & instead we are given a far better hope in that we now come close to God. The KJV would tell us that ''we draw nigh to God'' in our present most holy place understanding we of course know what this is saying to us today, when in conjunction with this thought we read in Mt 28:18. ''And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, All authority is given to Me in Heaven and in earth.'' MKJV. Consider carefully where this One who has all ''All authority'' is now situated; yes within you & I. In returning to John 5:27 he verifies & enhances our point which is saying the same thing in a slightly different way. ''and has given Him authority to execute judgement also, because He is the Son of Man.'' Jn 5: 27. MKJV. Verse 28 would iterate exactly what Ezekiel shared with us as regard the opening of the graves, John tells us to not be surprised at this for the time is coming when all those who are in the tombs shall hear His voice, verse 29 ''And they shall come out.'' to the resurrection of new life. The word resurrection here is from the word anastasis Strongs #386. As well as meaning being raised to life again, it also means the recovery of spiritual truth. Very interestingly it is directly related to the very next word anistatoo Strongs #387. Its meaning is to drive out of home, to disturb, trouble, turn upside down, make an uproar. I Have Not Come To Bring Peace, But A Sword! I would say at this point that the true understanding of the man-child with the finished work is at the moment filling all of these descriptions as it is to many - disturbing, troubling, turning the preconceived thoughts of many upside down & causing others to make an uproar - in that when Jesus mentioned that on the cross that it was finished, has certainly upset the proverbial religious – apple cart – for many. This understanding could be likened to the giants at the time of Joshua & Caleb, they were a seemingly unanswerable problem. But know this that even though all of Israel at that time followed the faithless spies, their own offspring 20 years old & younger eventually experienced & found possible that which their own fathers thought impossible. The giant that has arisen in many men's hearts today I believe is the giant of the finished work in its true understanding. Thank God that there will be a repetition & the very outnumbered Joshua's & Caleb's will go into the promised land first & join the faith of our David & win the battle over their Goliath's, GIANTS. Those who are moving ahead in their true Christ identity cannot fail. When we say first we are of course referring the birth of the man-child who is destined to shepherd, 2
  • 3. Christ The Antidote Regarding Death rule all nations with an iron staff sceptre & furthermore this child is caught up to God & His throne as forerunners – or those who are the first-fruits - for the rest of mankind. Now if this does not fit into our present way of thinking, I have found that further advancement always has to do with our attitude & willingness to change. The advice that was given to me some years back I would now pass on to others, What is the Spirit of the Father really saying to us today? As a student of the Word I have yet to find where the majority are ever the recipients or the possessors of truth as it has ALWAYS been the minority that God uses to bring His truth & will to the majority, & mark this in every case that I can find the majority have always vehemently insisted with human reason that they were right. One thing that must be said at this point is, the truth of the man-child cannot be received without revelation from God Himself & this is the sole priority of our Father. It is not just an understanding it is an experience. We would also add that the resurrection already mentioned is a recovery of the spiritual truth that we once walked in - in aeons past - which is the realisation of the Melchizedekian power of an endless life, which also entails the full understanding & experience of an indestructible life. The Woman The Child And The War! Our reading is from Rev 12:1-17. This chapter is of course a part of what is mentioned in the very first verse of this book, the things which must shortly & speedily come to pass in their entirety. Verse:1. ''And a great sign a warning of future events of ominous significance appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, & with a crown-like tiara of twelve stars on her head.'' Please notice that the moon is the reflected light from the sun which I see quite clearly as representing the carnal mind that forms the basis of all religion in that it is not the true light but only a reflection of that light. Verse: 2. ''She was pregnant and she cried out in her birth pangs, in the anguish of her delivery.'' We see that this mystical spiritual woman is pregnant & she is crying out in her birth pangs, in the anguish of her delivery as in Jn 16:21. Birth pangs can cause many reactions. The woman is not as many suppose, the visible religious groups that many give heed to, no it is those who are among the many who are sincerely seeing & seeking their loving Father within & are even now pregnant with child & the anguish of the trials of the unbelief of opposition would be assailing her. Verse: 3. ''Then another ominous sign was also seen in heaven - heavenly places - a huge, fiery red dragon, with seven heads & ten horns, & seven kingly crowns diadems upon his heads.'' It is not my intention to go into the meaning of all of these types & shadows as much time would be needed, but to lay out to the best of my ability a foundation & to bring to your attention more of the surface understanding & in doing so will yet bring an automatic in depth reason for this chapter. Verse: 4. ''His tail swept (across the sky) & dragged down one third of the stars & flung them to the earth. And the dragon stationed himself in front of the woman who was about to be delivered, so that he might devour her child as soon as she brought it forth.'' The subject of stars in this sense is quite interesting, stars in the natural are in the heavens & are looked up to. The greatest spiritual star of course is the bright & morning star. Some have with good reason designated these stars as pastors, be that as it may these particular stars are certainly not in the natural heavens but are entities that were in high spiritual places & this terrible beast was somehow able to deceive & drag them down to the earth earthly things. Then to iterate, ''And the dragon stationed himself in front of the woman who was about to be delivered, so that he might devour her child as soon as it brought forth''. Daniel 8:10 also adds to this thought. 3
  • 4. Christ The Antidote Regarding Death Verse: 5. Further tells us ''And she the woman brought forth a man-child, One who is destined to shepherd (rule) all the nations with an iron staff (scepter), and her Child was caught up to God and His throne.'' In researching this I found that this child is amazingly born a fully developed man, the reason for this is that he has been in spiritual preparation for sometime. To bear this thought out we plainly read He is destined to shepherd or rule all the nations with a rod of iron - iron staff or sceptre - & furthermore this mature child is caught up immediately to God & to His throne. The wonderful significance of this is found in both chap 2:26-29 & 3:21. There are of course many other powerful texts throughout the Bible that verify this even further. Verse: 6. ''And the woman herself fled into the desert wilderness where she has a retreat prepared for her by God, in which she is to be fed & kept safe for 1,260 days 42 months;three & one half years.'' The whole book of Revelation is full of symbols, one has wisely written that we cannot take any figure or symbol literally, any of the numbers, dates or times do not mean what they would seem on the surface. Only the Spirit can open the reality of these things to us. If you have had some of these things opened to you, wonderful. In reality right at this moment the Father is readying a man-child to be caught up to His throne. Verse: 7. ''Then war then war broke out in heaven heavenly places: Michael & his angels went forth to battle with the dragon & his angels fought.'' 2Sam 3:1. I would say at this point that we need to keep in mind that God's judgements do not ever mean condemnation. God does & will bring constant judgements & none of them are with condemnation to any of us, when we understand this we will have realised that our Father is LOVE & He never changes, as His Kingdom ''cannot be shaken.'' Furthermore even though God's mercies rejoice against man's judgements; in any scriptural instance we can find God's mercies are also always connected to His judgements. There is much to be said regarding this great one called Michael. J. Preston Eby has been very comprehensive regarding MICHAEL in his last episode of FROM THE CANDLESTICK TO THE THRONE. Part 141. Which if you are not yet receiving, his address is J. Preston Eby. P. O. Box 371240. El Paso Tx. 79937-1240. Now on the subject of Michael I do not wish to try to emulate bro Eby, as I could not, but I will in my own way & words share briefly with you what I had prepared by hand recently in the coffee shop that I frequent occasionally as a solace or change from where I at the moment reside. In Daniel 10:13b. Many translations read, '' Then Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me.'' This is not a true translation. We find that the literal translation by Doctor Young is held in the highest esteem by most in depth Bible scholars & reads ''and lo, Michael, first of the chief heads, hath come'' Dan 10:13. Young-s. In Dan 12:1a we read ''And at that time [of the end] Michael shall arise, the great [angelic] prince who defends and has charge of your [Daniel's] people.'' Amp. In Acts 7:35-38 we read of the Angel who appeared to Moses at the burning bush & also spoke to him on Mt Sinai. On close perusal we realise that this Angel & the great angelic prince Michael are the exact same entity. In 1Thess 4:16 ''For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a loud cry of summons, with the shout of an archangel, and with the blast of the trumpet of God. And those who have departed this life in Christ will rise first.'' Amplified. We find here clearly that the voice of the Archangel is mentioned & in this shout is also the trumpet of God they are both part of the one. The one & the same. Very surprising to some we will not find anywhere where there is more than one archangel, you will not find any evidence other than in handed down religious tradition that Gabriel, Lucifer or any other entity is an archangel there is only ONE. This 4
  • 5. Christ The Antidote Regarding Death one is the Angel of the Lord & is none other than Michael also according to several Bible dictionaries that are in my possession the very meaning of the name Michael is one who is like God. To return to Rev 12:7, we read that those who lead this war are Michael & His angels - messengers - to do battle. I ask the question why is Jesus not mentioned here? Simple! The explanation is clearly found in these words, ''For the Lord HIMSELF will descend from heaven with a loud cry of summons, WITH the shout of an ARCHANGEL, and with the blast of the trumpet of God.'' This is in actual fact the exact occurrence we read of in this verse - the descending with a loud cry - mentioned. The Lord Jesus & the Archangel are one & the same but in different roles. Many are the roles of Jesus Christ. The Comforter, The Coming King, The Creator, The Good Shepherd, The First & the Last, The Rock, & many many more. Verse: 8. ''But they were defeated, - the dragon & his angels - and there was no room found for them in heaven – the consciousness of man – any longer.'' This all happens after the man-child is born & then declares war & wins. After this episode the man-child then begins to lead & enlighten the rest of mankind. Verse: 9. Is most thrilling & specific. ''And the huge dragon was cast down & out----that age old serpent, who is called the Devil & Satan, he who is the seducer (deceiver) of all humanity the world over; he was forced out & down to the earth - dust - & his angels were flung out along with him.'' Something that I think that will be of interest to most is the fact that the description of a huge dragon which was cast out in contrast with the original title in Gen 3:1 serpent, as we have mentioned in earlier writings. The question we would ask is how come he has grown in such proportions? The answer is simple, in the mind of men. Over a period of time they have listened to the Adamic dream, that is, what is perceived by the senses seeing, hearing, etc, & coupled with the imaginations of the lower man, have thought the very worst. When the truth is fully realised we will find that what we have thought was truth was only an imagined carnal adamic delusion. The original serpent was never an animal that could be touched, it was a spiritual allegory which grew in the minds of men to such proportions until that same serpent became a huge dragon that in truth never existed ONLY IN THE MINDS OF RELIGIOUSLY DELUDED MEN & WOMEN. And so very, very soon the lie & liar of all delusion is about to be flung out & down & become devoid of any spiritual power whatsoever. To which I must say; So be it. Verse: 10. ''Then I heard a strong loud voice in heaven saying; Now it has come---the salvation and the power and the kingdom (the dominion, the reign) of our God, and the power (the sovereignty, the authority) of His Christ (the Messiah); for the accuser of our brethren, he who keeps bringing before our God charges against them day and night, has been cast out.'' This is a verse that has for many years confused the reader & its meaning is a lot different to what many have thought. To say that the accuser has access into our most holy place is a deceit of the worst kind. Job tells us clearly the realm of the accuser. ''And the Lord said to Satan, From where did you come? Then Satan answered the Lord, From going to and fro on the EARTH and from walking up and down on it.'' Job 1:7. Amp. The realm of the accuser has always been the earth, our earth, our adamic consciousness never any higher, there may be some texts that would seem to indicate otherwise but they are allegories & we do not wish at the moment to take time to deviate. Having established the realm of the accuser how do we explain the words ''who keeps bringing before our God charges against them day and night'' Some are convinced that because of these words that the accuser has had access to the most holy place within us, the God compartment as it were, I reject this most vehemently! He may bring charges against us but only through the adamic nature realm & no higher, incidentally we must not forget that we are told here at this time that he the accuser HAS been cast out. Once man is released from the stall that he has been confined in, in his five sensed adamic existence then all spiritual opposition shall be as ashes under the soles of our feet. Mal4:2-3. For those who are unsure as to where they are at the moment, be comforted & assured the accuser has 5
  • 6. Christ The Antidote Regarding Death never ever had any access to have accused you TO God in your secret or most holy place NEVER! But if the verse were to say the word TO this would be an entirely different thing. Actually we could liken the word before to gossip, if the word to was used it would change the context entirely, but we notice with relief that it is not used & never could be. Now from one who has most ably written, we quote. ''Satan has no misconceptions about his ability to persuade God of your weakness and worthlessness, but if he can influence YOU to believe that you are unworthy, that you are a failure, that you are hopeless, that it is impossible for you to attain to the High Calling of God in Christ, that it is beyond the realm of possibility for you to lay hold upon life and immortality; or that God does not love you, leaving you condemned and helpless -- he is thereby able to rob you of all your hope, faith, confidence, joy, peace and victory!'' Unquote. Verse: 11. ''And they have overcome (conquered) him by means of the blood of the Lamb and by the utterance of their testimony, for they did not love and cling to life even when faced with death [holding their lives cheap till they had to die for their witnessing].'' This has happened in the past, many have given their life literally for the sake of the Gospel, the early martyrs are our first examples, since the early church many have shed their blood & in many countries even now some are literally being killed for their faith. The greatest & very effective death is when Paul himself mentioned ''I die daily'' he proved to all that he counted his natural life as dung for the sake of the Gospel. There is a dying that we cannot underestimate & that is dying to our popularity or to the majority. When our wonderful Father first began to speak to me in regards the restitution of all things & then to lead me out of the church scene, He made me to know that He wanted me to give up & leave every skerrick of the religiosity of the first two tabernacle experiences. Now I can only share with you the way that I was led. But I will close this point with these words, it will go a long way in clearing our conscience if we are willing obey it. ''for they did not love and cling to life even when faced with death [holding their lives cheap till they had to die for their witnessing].'' Incidentally in this experience of change, for some time my favourite word was BUT. ''Do not [earnestly] remember the former things; neither consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs forth; do you not perceive and know it and will you not give heed to it? I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.'' Isa 43:18-19. Amp. Verse: 12. ''Therefore be glad exult, O heavens and you that dwell in them! But woe to you, O earth and sea, for the devil has come down to you in fierce anger fury, because he knows that he has only a short time left!'' There is one thing that we need to learn from this verse & that is ADAM DOES NOT WANT TO DIE. Woe to you O earthly adam & those who are in the raging seas of turmoil & unrest, for this devil that dwells in the adamic nature who is defying his own death in fierce anger & fury, for there are some that would dare to wage war for the higher, Godly pure & holy things, that would slay earthy adam & release the true identity, the true man of God once & for all. Yes there is a war! Why? For the accuser KNOWS that it is not long before ALL things will be subdued unto a Father of love, mercy & grace & a new world will be a reality to ALL. ''All flesh is as frail as grass, and all that makes it attractive....is transitory, like the flower of the field.'' Isa 40:6b. Verse: 13. ''And when the dragon saw that he was cast down to the earth, he went in pursuit of the woman who had given birth to the male Child.'' Let us realise two things. One is that the woman is clothed with the sun. Two the moon - the reflected light - is under her feet, this means that she is not in any way deceived by religiosity & because of this she is hated by the adversary who is in pursuit of her. The woman who is also the bride, is also that which is a very real part of our being. One of the reasons that the adversary is so angry as stated in the 6
  • 7. Christ The Antidote Regarding Death previous verse is that his hiding place is being exposed, listen carefully to the words of the apostle Paul, ''Who opposes and exalts himself so proudly and insolently against and over all that is called God or that is worshipped, [even to his actually] taking his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming that he himself is God.'' 2Thess 2:4. Amp. He has been hidden all along within our adamic identity. How has he been proclaiming himself as God? Within our ADAMIC identity! This can also be described as humanism as opposed to Godliness or Spirit. This is another reason that the adversary is so angry & that is that his hidden secret has been discovered verse 12 & now has only a short time. Verse: 14. ''But the woman was supplied with the two wings of a giant eagle, so that she might fly from the presence of the serpent into the desert (wilderness), to the retreat where she is to be kept safe and fed for a time, and times, and half a time (three and one-half years, or 1,260 days).'' Egypt was carried by Jehovah on eagles wings. Ex 19:4. So it is significant that this allegory is used here & is a very pertinent type. The desert is confirming to us a place of protection, not only a safe place but also would indicate a spiritual pasture-land & rest, as the below text would clearly indicate. ''And I will confirm with them a covenant of peace and will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land, and [My people] shall dwell safely in the wilderness, desert, or pasture-land and sleep [confidently] in the woods.'' Eze 34:25. Amp. Verse: 15. ''Then out of his mouth the serpent spouted forth water like a flood after the woman, that she might be carried off with the torrent.'' As the raging seas - water - indicate turmoil, in this case the flood of water would also indicate a similar turmoil, for the plan of the adversary was to carry the woman off, or away from her God intended destiny. In any natural flood all else is forgotten but survival, the mind is not concerned with past, present or future but mainly the now problem. But wonderful news our wonderful Father always has a solution, as we read in the following verse. Verse:16. ''But the earth came to the rescue of the woman, and the ground opened its mouth and swallowed up the stream of water which the dragon had spouted from his mouth.'' We notice here that the earth came to the rescue of the woman. We cannot underestimate the wisdom or the doings of God, for as we know all things work together for good to those who love Him. I can only say that in this case that whereas the adversary is working in the lower earthy realm he is defeated by the wisdom of our Father by & in that realm! Verse:17. ''So then the dragon was furious (enraged) at the woman, and he went away to wage war on the remainder of her descendants--[on those] who obey God's commandments and who have the testimony of Jesus Christ [and adhere to it and bear witness to Him].'' The enraged dragon here is by the way typifying a spiritual allegory & not an actual being that was cast out of heaven which is spiritual mumbo jumbo handed down by religious tradition. So we see this enraged dragon who has no power over the man-child & has been defeated in verse eight now has also lost the victory over the woman & is absolutely infuriated. Take notice that all along the one who he is wanting to gain control over is ADAM your & my adam & ADAM does not want to die & will only do so when he comes to the end of his tether. We are so glad to report that not only the man-child was single minded enough to overcome but also the Bride, the woman, is seen for her sincerity. The adversary in his infuriation now goes to wage war on those who are in a lower spiritual realm yet are those who name the name of Christ, who obey God's commandments & who have the testimony of Jesus Christ. I Will Never Leave You Or Forsake You! Even though the majority of the the world of Christendom think that we have no connection to God in any 7
  • 8. Christ The Antidote Regarding Death way until one is born again, this is far from the truth. ''The spirit of man is the lamp of the Lord, searching all his innermost part.'' Prov. 20:27. Also if we were to question as to how one is born again we would receive a number of interpretations & each one would think their particular understanding was the right one & it would be according to their background & interpretation. With the above heading in mind we now cite from another. ''We would remind you that as the stars are poised in the heavens so also is every human soul poised in the eternal cycle of life; is held there by and within the sleepless consciousness of the Divine Intelligence. It is true that the soul has been given a measure of freewill, or power of choice, so that it can accept or reject good or evil; but it has no power at any time to sever its link with the Supreme Soul, God---and there is always an upward pull towards God. True enough, for a time the soul may deride, deny or reject God; but it can never escape from Him, never break its link with Him; and in its extremity it must surely yield to Him, and return to Him like the Prodigal Son in the parable. What is happening while the soul is resolved to resist the pull of God which draws upward? It means that by his own will the man chooses the downward instead of the upward path. Mark, he has not escaped from God, not even for a moment. The magnetic power of the Divine Intelligence ever holds fast, is ever inclining him to tread the path back to God. Yet through a myriad transgressions he will follow the path of evil, downwards, downwards. At last comes the inevitable change of heart, the arising, the beginning of the long upward climb with bleeding feet back to God. This is why no man can ever escape his destiny, which is to attain to ultimate perfection through an ultimate return to his Creator. Yet it is true that before man can become godlike he must pass through the lowest arc, must bottom the depths of evil as well as attain the heights; must pass through the deepest hell and touch the high heaven which is his eventual home. When the personal man can grasp a truth so tremendous as this he will cease to condemn any fellow creature; for then the bright ideal of man's perfect soul, towards which both he and all his fellow creatures are striving through good and through evil will fill his heart with gladness. He will then think, 'My brother's path is his choice alone;' my path is mine. What matter? Why should I condemn anyone? The human ego can attain by this path alone to 'Overcoming-Godliness'; first over its own weaknesses and failings, then over its environment and the many limitations with which human life is encompassed.'' Unquote. Some of what has been written from the 12th Chapter of Revelation & Daniel may seem alarming when we realise what the future holds this is why we have inserted, I Will Never Leave You Or Forsake You! Which gives us confidence in our eternal destiny& that is; I will draw ALL UNTO ME! This is all part of the key to David building his house. Ralph Knowles, October 2013.
