Greetings Brethren,

Greetings Brethren,

The days of humankind slowly come to a close. However, no man or woman knows the place or time of the Great Day. Meanwhile, the righteous come to Praise and Uplift God. You can only do this by following the Truth of the Word. Nothing comes before God. But many pay little heed to the Supremacy of God. Why? But the Word teaches us that many will reject God thus many will see and hear the wrath of God for disobedience and war.

Peace and Love,

Carl Patton writing for the FreedomJournal June 14, 2002 in the year of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

(CAN MAN BE A god?)

PART 19: THE EVIL RESULTS OF DISOBEDIENCE & WAR

In the name of Jehovah God, Master of the universe, Ruler of the earth.

Although humankind seems to know much evil our sojourn should be of Joy. Yes Joy because we know God. Thus we come thanking God the Father, the Son of God and the Holy Spirit that keeps us on course and in the Spirit.

We advise you our dearly beloved that if you love God you will read and study the Bible. We further note that this is a great priority because many have come to distort and tell Great (Big) Lies about God and the Bible. Meanwhile, as we pursue our discussion on the Foolish notion that man can be or is God we resume with our primary scripture lesson taken from Matthew 24. Jesus continues to teach His Disciples as He will be soon leave them to go back to the Father.

Matthew 24: 29. "Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken"

We have previously discussed in this chapter the destruction of Jerusalem and the second coming of Christ. However in this passage Jesus predicts what will come after the destruction of Jerusalem. These coming events will affect the world and the church. Here we also note the figurative use of the sun, moon, stars etc. The sun refers to Christ, the moon to the church, and the stars to teachers and other leading men in the church.

The record shows that soon after the destruction of Jerusalem various factions entered into a conspiracy. Thus the Roman government that combined church and state and various other religious leaders moved by ambition and evil came together and brought on a dreadful period of ungodliness. A thought to the wise and righteous and the not so righteous. What were the historical and Biblical precedents set by the Romans who conspired to murder Christ? Was this the same Roman (mentality) that defeated the Jews at Jerusalem and destroyed the Temple? Are these the same people that established the Catholic Church? Did the people that historical established the Catholic Church have a legacy of degeneracy? If so then are the problems in contemporary Catholicism noted in individuals or is it Catholicism in general? What has the Bible taught us about Babylon noted in Revelation?

Meanwhile the period that came about after the defeat of Jerusalem (Jewish War) and the destruction of the Temple is known in history and in religious history as the Dark Ages. The Dark Ages lasted until the Reformation. (For the record we (FreedomJournal) argue that the Dark Ages are not over. We believe that the world and the church still suffer aspects of the Dark Ages in that humankind (believers and non-believers) do not read and study the Bible. This list includes the Preachers, Deacons and the various church leaders.

Meanwhile, during that time as true of this time there were faithful disciples upon the earth. But since the Bible was taken from the common people, it greatly interfered with the light of divine Truth that comes from Christ through the church. This divine Truth is supposed to be taught by faithful men in the church. We (FreedomJournal) note that there are very few faithful men in the

Church today or in the world. Thus, the Bible although available is not used in the true sense.

Thus man has come to rely more on traditions and custom and the world rather than the Truth of God. For example the great emphasis on money is wordily and not of God. However, the Con-Game of Tithes is prevalent in almost all churches and the people reject and resist the Truth on this question and attempt to stone those who bring this Truth.

As we return to the passage up for review, we see that the statement regarding the lack of faithful men in the church is related to the statements about the sun, moon and stars cease to shine. We see further clarity when we note the phrase "the power of heaven shall be shaken." All of these sources of light were powers that originated in heaven, but they were shaken by the revolution of

the Dark Ages.

As we look to the present generation of the church, we see that many reject the Truth of the Bible. This evil of rejecting God and the Word renders the need for a New Christian church. This New Church will follow God and the Bible and not man and money. (Also see Isaiah 13:10 and 24: 21-23 for a companion scripture). However, these scriptures are in reference to the destruction of the Babylonians by the Persians. Here we see that God has noted various periods and a time of great desolation upon the land and the people. For your thought and mediation we advise you to note why?
