Many people ask me, “If the biblical Armageddon has already occurred, why are we still here? Did God just abandon us?”
The answer is no. God did not abandon mankind; He simply solved our immediate problems by destroying the pagan gods that
enslaved our ancestors in the ancient world, made us the preeminent being of the earth and prepared for our future in the
next life. Having accomplished all He planned to do on earth, God ended communications with ancient Israel; that is why we are no
longer writing biblical history.
It is critical to understand that the Bible is a historical account of the interactions between God and the ancient Israelites;
however, in two verses, it refers to the descendants of Adam. Those two scriptures have a wonderful message for all of us:
"For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ [Messiah] shall all be made alive." (1 Cor. 15:22)
Christianity avoids the obvious implications of this verse by saying that in order to receive this benefit, one must "believe in Christ." Does one have to "believe in Adam' to be in death?
"Therefore as by the offense of one [Adam] judgment came upon all men to condemnation: even so by the righteousness of one
[Messiah] the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life." Rom 5:18
These verses clearly state that all of the descendants of Adam will go into the next life. "All!" Not those who attend
church, or happen to be born into a certain religion - all the descendants of Adam! You are a descendant of Adam, and a free
gift is free! There is nothing you must do to receive a free gift, and nothing you can do to lose a free gift.
The "Kingdom" of God is not a Disneyland in the sky!
Christian religions point to verses in which the Messiah is speaking to the ancient
Israelites and revealing how difficult it will be for them to enter the Kingdom of God, saying; "It is easier for a
camel to go through the eye of a needle." Christian ministers tell people they must: live a perfect life, give their money
to the church and follow all of the rules of a particular denomination to get into the "Kingdom."
This teaching is inherently flawed. A "kingdom" is a government! God was choosing a government to rule over mankind in the
next life. This was a chosen from the chosen, an elite group selected from the ancient Israelites. It is described as being
144,000 in number, 12,000 from each of the 12 tribes of ancient Israel. The Messiah completed that
selection process prior to the fall of Jerusalem. No one today can be selected for, or "enter," the Kingdom of God.
That government, with Messiah as King, is already in place and will rule over all mankind after we leave death here on earth
and enter life.
The truth is liberating, but most people have been made to feel so unworthy, that they will find it very
difficult to let go of the heavy burdens, demanding rituals and guilt imposed on them by their religions. Nevertheless,
we will all go into the next life, regardless of how we behave here in death.* That truth will end the violence of atheism and religion, and bring humanity inner and universal peace, based on: One man, One God, One Truth!
Trying to relive biblical history is ludicrous and extremely dangerous. Jewish attempts to recreate ancient Israel in the
modern world have turned the Middle East into a tinderbox. Christians burned heretics alive in the name of Jesus, fought a two hundred years war in Belfast, and handle snakes for Jesus in the hills of Tennessee; while, Muslims steal airplanes full of people, and slam them into the World
Trade Center for Allah. It's time to address the error in religious terror!
Acknowledging the Bible as a closed history, will allow us to discuss that history without the: guilt, condemnations,
violence, myths or "guidance" of atheism and religion.
"For as in Adam all die, even so in Messiah shall all be made alive." Fear Not - Celebrate!
Please help us encourage a discussion of this wonderful discovery, by E-maling the website to your: clergy, history
professors, atheistic science teachers and everyone on your list - thank you. One man, One God, One Truth!
* Death = exile, separation, or the inability to communicate with the source of life! If you are dying, which we all are
from conception, you are unable to communicate with God or, like cut-flowers, in death. We will all go into life, when we leave this "Valley of the shadow of Death."
