John the Revelation / Beyond Good and Evil

Variously:

The Revelation

Revelation 1:1-3 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John: Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw. Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.

Anti-Chirst has sought to establish as Church doctrine that what is revealed in the Revelation of Jesus Christ is simply “holy info” and particularly as more deception by ‘detailed’ nonsense ‘about’ the last days. Very blatantly anti-Christ has sought to deceive all that what is revealed in the Revelation of Jesus Christ can and must be understood as and in a mind not-Christ but the mind of men. (Thus all the end times hype/lies which are built on the lie of the Holy Scriptures being “holy info”/non-creating speech).

But what is revealed is also us as new creation in Jesus Christ. John was so revealed, called a Son of Thunder.

Mark 3:17 and James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James, and he gave them the surname of Boanerges, that is, Sons of thunder;

For He says through John, after Saying “The Revelation which God gave unto Him, to shew unto His servants things which must shortly come to pass..” and then He says ”

…Revelation 1:9 I John, your brother and fellow-partaker in the tribulation and kingdom and patience, in Jesus, was in the island called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus.

Once more:

“The revelation which God gave to unto Him” (Jesus Christ) ; then: “…I John..”

John was part of that revelation as an individual new creation in Jesus Christ. That is the only way we will ever know each other as new creation in Jesus Christ: little by little, God gives us divine revelation concerning each other and as we are one in and with Christ, we are one with each other. That is the only Christian brotherhood and the only true Church.

Ephesians 4:10-27 He that descended is the same who has also ascended up above all the heavens, that he might fill all things; and *he* has given some apostles, and some prophets, and some evangelists, and some shepherds and teachers, for the perfecting of the saints; with a view to the work of the ministry, with a view to the edifying of the body of Christ; until we all arrive at the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, at the full-grown man, at the measure of the stature of the fulness of the Christ; in order that we may be no longer babes, tossed and carried about by every wind of *that* teaching which is in the sleight of men, in unprincipled cunning with a view to systematized error; but, holding the truth in love, we may grow up to him in all things, who is the head, the Christ: from whom the whole body, fitted together, and connected by every joint of supply, according to the working in its measure of each one part, works for itself the increase of the body to its self-building up in love. This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye should no longer walk as the rest of the nations walk in the vanity of their mind, being darkened in understanding, estranged from the life of God by reason of the ignorance which is in them, by reason of the hardness of their hearts, who having cast off all feeling, have given themselves up to lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greedy unsatisfied lust. But *ye* have not thus learnt the Christ, if ye have heard him and been instructed in him according as the truth is in Jesus; namely your having put off according to the former conversation the old man which corrupts itself according to the deceitful lusts; and being renewed in the spirit of your mind; and your having put on the new man, which according to God is created in truthful righteousness and holiness. Wherefore, having put off falsehood, speak truth every one with his neighbour, because we are members one of another. Be angry, and do not sin; let not the sun set upon your wrath, neither give room for the devil.

God’s Word creates what He Says. He is His Own Word and does not ‘use language’ to portray a mere stagnant/non-creating ‘mental picture’ of something else than Himself as Word and what is Spoken. Nor does He do so with our brethren or wives or children in that divine revealtion which reveals them to us as they really are.

Waiting for what calls itself “Christendom” to catch up to what God as Word has Said in order that “_______” be revealed to them is waiting for their understanding of their own present new birth in Jesus Christ. What is revealed in the revealing of God to us is also ourselves as we areally are and not an alternant literal of who and what we are. in anti-Christ’s speech, lens and agenda of non-creation, scarcity and death.

Beyond Good and Evil

Genesis 3:22 And Jehovah Elohim said, Behold, Man is become as one of us, to know good and evil. And now, lest he stretch out his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever…!

God created what is good and what is evil. The only difference between good and evil is that God calls one good and the other evil, and at different times changes one to the other and back. The good and evil are already there and men walk into in God’s Providence. Men do not cuase/create good and evil. Men create nothing.

Note the word “creating” is in the active tense:

Isaiah 45:5-7 I am Jehovah, and there is none else; there is no God beside me: I girded thee, and thou hast not known me;–that they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the going down, that there is none beside me. I am Jehovah, and there is none else; forming the light and creating darkness, making peace and creating evil: I, Jehovah, do all these things.

Ecc 7:14 In the day of prosperity enjoy good, and in the day of adversity consider: God hath also set the one beside the other, to the end that man should find out nothing of what shall be after him.

God’s very plain control of good and evil is demonstrated in Revelation. Evil is given power by God, then taken away for the good. The evil that was given power is judged for its evil.

The caricature of ‘determinism’ by anti-Christ is that of a stone; a non-living thing. Non-creating speech can only articulate reality as if it were static except for a supposed ‘use’ of what is already there by supposed ‘free’ willed creatures. But the lie of free will is the most active and moving anti-Christ can be: the illusion that merely walking into new experience God has already placed in our path ‘proves’ free will. And anti-Christ is all over himself as contradiction: he is divided. Not only does he claim ‘free’ will as if the path before us is NOT set, but then is always trying to forsee the future (horoscopes, astrology, witchcraft of psychics , sorcery of talking to the dead, …the rest of demonic/quack science..) as if it is already set and merely needs to be seen to make one ‘happy’. But of course, he doesn’t understand his own contrdictions. He is himself deceived.

The providence/determined counsel of God is itself alive and growing and is set. Thus God has created, is creating and will create and yet none of His Word ever fails. God creates, re-creates and creates infinitely within creation as compounding life. He plants the tree in a determined spot and causes it to grow, each portion of that growth and each new revelation of each new portion of that tree solely and expressly there by the Word and Spirit of God. So with us and all Israel and all creation.

It simply isn’t our problem that anti-Christ and Lucifer can’t keep up with God.

Proverbs 21:30 There is no wisdom, nor understanding, nor counsel against Jehovah.

In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen
