THE BOOK OF REVELATION and “SONSHIP OF GOD”.
Now we get to the heart of this matter. To give you a sample of what we affirm in contradistinction to the doctrine of Christianity especially, but Judaism and Islam too, read very carefully -- line by line -- the following Scriptures that we will give you from the Revelation; that Book of the Bible of which it is written; ‘not a word must be altered’. Of course, over millennia, it may have been subject to some change. Nonetheless, it would be difficult to really change the sense of what the particular Scriptures reveal.
For what they give in just a few sentences at the very start is the “Golden Key” to understanding the humanly-established quandary and terrible distortion of “Son of God: Sons of God”! Only humans distort Pure Truth to convert to just a religion.
So, let’s look at those key Verses from The Revelation regarding the “Sonship of God”. We will quote from the Fenton Bible: Chapter 1, Verses 4-8. John the Revelator, proclaiming in the name of He Who Comes, writes:
“Blessing and peace to you from the One Who is, and Who was, and
Who Comes; and from the seven Spirits which are before His throne, and
from Jesus Christ, the True Witness, the Bringer-forth from the dead, and
the Commander of the kings of the earth. To him who loved us, and
released us from our sins by His blood – and has established us a
Kingdom, priests to God and His Father – to Him the majesty and the
might, throughout the ages. Amen.
Look! He comes with the clouds: and every eye shall look on Him, and
those who pierced Him; and over Him shall all the tribes of the earth
lament. Yes, certainly.
“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord, “the God Who exists, and
Who was, and Who comes – the All-ruler.”
Bible scholars over centuries have long-determined what they believe the above Scriptures mean and, of course, it feeds into the ‘standard’ Christian ‘doctrine’. On the surface at a cursory-glance level, it all seems clear and simple enough; but is it? The ‘scholars’ of Christianity will read it something like this:
| 1) | The One on “His throne” must be God, The Almighty, offering greetings! |
| 2) | With Him is Jesus, the Son, also offering greetings. |
| 3) | Jesus is stated to be “the Commander of the kings of the earth”. |
| 4) | The so-called “sacrifice of Jesus” is “ostensibly confirmed” with the words; “released us from our sins by His blood”. |
| 5) | “He comes with the clouds” and “those who pierced Him” would surely be interpreted as the return of Jesus. |
| 6) | In Christian Church interpretation, the “Sonship of God” here must therefore be Jesus “Who was” and “Who comes” as “the All-ruler”. |
So: Clear-cut, do you think? No possible argument, right? Well, in this particular case, there is one very profound counter to what the Christian Church has determined and promulgated for itself for as long as it has been in existence. It takes the form of Bible Scriptures that really cannot be misinterpreted, and thus changes what Christianity believes they read in the above set of Scriptures. These are the Verses that not only challenge the accepted Christian doctrine upon which hundreds of millions are pinning their hopes for “eternal life”, but ultimately completely clarify the Truth about Son of God: Sons of God. Therefore, from, respectively: John 1:18, 1 John 4:12 and Exodus 33:20.
“No one has ever yet seen God;”
“No one has at any time seen God.”
He added, “you are not able to see My face, for no man can see Me and
live.”
On the basis of such clear-cut statements, the current Christian interpretation of Revelation 1:4-8 needs to be seriously revisited, so let’s do that. Firstly, we in the 21st century pontificating on what this or that might mean in Biblical interpretation should really come to terms with the fact that the Disciples were in the presence of Power and Knowledge that, for the times, we cannot ever hope to know or understand. What they were taught and recorded, therefore, should be more carefully examined than is currently the case amongst present-day ‘scholars of religion’. The hoary arguments about Moses and the “burning bush”, and no doubt other claims to hold fast to the current interpretation, are really countered by the above very succinct Scriptures. For if the true meaning were to be recognised about “Sonship”, then all guesswork would fall away to reveal the stupendous reality of Son of God/Sons of God.
Right: Now it’s our turn. So, reader, tune in to some serious analysis and revelation, given through simple, old-fashioned logic. Logic: We humans must surely have enough understanding to recognise that the “Coming into Being” of the incomprehensible Work of Creation -- and precisely because of its “Perfection of Form and Function” under immeasurable Divine Power --- could only have proceeded from and with Divine Logic.
In order thereon to maintain and sustain GOD’s “Great Work”, HIS Divine Laws of Creation were concomitantly woven into HIS Creation -- ultimately for our benefit and spiritual ascent. Unfortunately, however, the historical record of mankind reveals a very different story; any amount of religion, but all riven with spiritual paucity. Thereby did we fulfil Isaiah’s dire warning for our time in the human journey, vis-à-vis:
“The earth lies defiled under its inhabitants; for they have transgressed
the laws, violated the statutes, broken the everlasting covenant.” (English
Standard Version.)
“Therefore a curse has devoured the earth, and those who live in it are
held guilty. Therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few
men left....” (New American Standard Bible. Emphasis mine).
Wonderful, don’t you think? I certainly think so, for it is all of our own making! Whilst we wait for that inevitable outcome, give yourself a fighting chance. Embrace Truth, not religion! So seriously “tune in” now!
| 1) | Firstly, ‘He Who is Enthroned’ is unambiguously accepted by the Christian Church as being God, to Whom the seven Spirits are paying homage and Whom Jesus is in the presence of, vis-à-vis; the Father and the “only begotten Son”. Right? --- Wrong! Why? |
| 2) | We must absolutely take into account the fact that “No one has ever yet seen God”. Now listen to this: The very fact that John the Revelator could see the One on the Throne has to mean that He Who is Enthroned cannot possibly be God, The Almighty. That is clear fact and, of course, it is brutally-obvious that it is not Jesus Enthroned there either, for He, along with the seven Spirits, stands in the presence of – the One Enthroned. --- [By the way; there are also 144,000 human spirits before His Throne, who therefore can also see Him; but we will go into all of this in miniscule detail in a later Discourse.] |
| 3) | Again: Why? Because in the same Scripture is the conjunction, --- and --- which demarcates the Spirits before His throne, with the same conjunction, --- and --- clearly separating Jesus from the “Occupant of the Throne”. So Who is He on the throne if He is not God, Whom no man has ever seen or ever can? |
| 4) | In terms of Jesus returning to earth, this sequence of Scripture becomes intertwined with two threads being present therein, not simply just one concerning Jesus’ “return”. |
| 5) | Now let’s address the apparent quandary of “Who actually comes”. The ‘Church’ says it is Jesus, but the first part of the Scripture says differently, for it is the “One Enthroned Who Comes”; “Blessing and peace to you from the One Who is, and Who was, and Who Comes;. |
| 6) | Yes, we do have the “apparent” quandary of: “He comes with the clouds” and “those who pierced Him”; for it ‘appears’ that Jesus is the One to return. |
| 7) | However, that notion is powerfully negated by the next Scripture which merges with the first in our sequence that reads: “the One Who is, and Who was, and Who Comes”; and then to --- “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” “the God Who exists, and Who was, and Who Comes --- the All- ruler.” |
| 8) | So, it is eminently clear that the One Who is Enthroned is actually and indisputably the One Who Comes. Yet we have “scripturally-established” that He cannot be God. And He is not Jesus, because He is in the Enthroned presence of The Other. Again: Who is He? |
| 9) | The part about the tribes of the earth “lamenting”, vis-à-vis; “and those who pierced Him; and over Him shall all the tribes of the earth lament”, is not difficult to understand from the point of view of clear Truth . What will the “tribes” of humanity “lament over” with regard to Jesus? |
| 10) | When Christianity mostly, but Judaism and Islam too, finally awake to horrifying recognition about The Truth of the Sonship of God, they will lament over their denial of Him to begin with, and over His supposed sacrifice for literally hundreds of millions of “hypocritical, deceitful lives”. His Murder was exactly that; a brutal Murder, without any possible redeeming feature to assuage the guilt of a truly stupid group of humans, then and now! Remember the warning and wake up: Few men left! |
| 11) | In Summary: There we have the “The Monumental Error”. It is not Jesus Who Comes as the All-Ruler. The All-Ruler in this case cannot be God, for He is not the One Who Comes. We know that the Spirit of Truth was long-prophesied to Come, so we can now understand that something of critical import has been missed by “experts all”. Yet it was always there to recognise in the words of Jesus; He clearly said He was not the One. So, what do we have? |
| 12) | In the end we have the Scripture that Islam clings to, Judaism ignores and Christianity does not “understand”. For the “big three”, it all comes down to John 16. You know: “I will send another. --- He will lead you into All-truth. -- He will bring the judgement and reprove the world of sin”. Personal pronoun after personal pronoun”. He; not me, remember? So simple, so clear, yet blindness rules global religion. “When the blind lead the blind...” |
There we have it; a very different interpretation to that of the Christian Church and all its ‘scholars’ ensconced in so-called “religious institutions of higher learning”. In the context of the above analyses, the next two Discourses will track towards the identity of the “Other One”. Then we will all know Who the Spirit of Truth truly is, and also know His Name and Title! With that stupendous revelation, we can also then know of --- as was once Willed for all on earth --- His primary Work of The All-Truth. Further, among many other subjects to come, we will detail the Truth about the Life, Death and Resurrection of Jesus.
Now: In terms of the completely wrong and distorted doctrine of the “Sonship of God” that we have to “put right”, how might the Justice of God play out in demanding full atonement from three religions that, in their estimation, dutifully obey His every Law and Command? For on this question of getting the “Sonship of God” exactly right rests the final fate of those three monotheistic religions of Islam, Christianity and Judaism to begin with, but pretty much everyone else as well.
For literally everything in Creation -- the immensity of the known universe in the Material World, and the greater immensity of the “unseen worlds” that make up the incomprehensible whole -- is absolutely subject to the active Creative Power inherently connected to “Sonship of God”.
That is why it is absolutely imperative for the truly-seeking human being -– you, reader --- to “get it right”. You really should, but for yourself. Even with this CORRECT interpretation -– for He has already Come to Earth like the “thief in the night --- the religions are not going to bend or budge. They never will. There is far too much prestige and ego invested in their particular “religious narratives”, along with, of course, the pomp, ceremony and hierarchical structures that must be clung to at all costs. We well-know that top-heavy structures built on a wrong foundation inevitably topple.
Unfortunately for many hundreds of millions, it is not a pretty picture, for the denigration of “Sonship of God” must surely stand, at the very least, as one of the greatest transgressions against His Lawful Justice. The Right Reverend George Home in around 1846 sagely noted that:
God/Allah is not only just, but Justice itself; and Justice cannot remit the least farthing; else it were not justice.”
From Matthew 5:18 and 5:26 respectively; Fenton Bible both:
“For I tell you indeed, that until the heavens and the earth shall pass
away, a single dot or hairstroke shall not disappear from the law, until all
has been completed.”
“I tell you indeed that you shall not depart until you have repaid the very
last farthing.”
Let’s confirm that again with our favourite Scripture from the Great Prophet, Isaiah. Scripture 24:5 “tells it like it actually is”.
“The earth lies defiled under its inhabitants; for they have transgressed
the laws, violated the statutes, broken the everlasting covenant.”
(English Standard Version.)
“Therefore a curse has devoured the earth, and those who live in it are
held guilty. Therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few
men left....”
(New American Standard Bible. Emphases mine.)
That is the real story, and about which the uncountable numbers of scholars and theologians connected to the great bulk of global Christianity remain strangely silent. The Spirit of Truth has written: “Stupidity is already conceit.”
The rank and file of course are nothing more than sheep, but with false shepherds leading them. They are not even moved by the dire warning of Jesus Himself: The One whom they so wrongly believe came to die for their wilful sinning in many rotten lives of their own making. How sick is that? Let’s repeat His marvellous and wakeful warning here! From Matthew 24:21-22.
“...for there shall then be wide-spread affliction, such as has not been known since the beginning of the world until now, no, nor will ever be known again. And if those times were not cut short not a man would be saved; but for the sake of the chosen ones, those times will be cut short.”
Many religious commentators do not apply the Scriptural warning in the above text to any kind of “End-time” scenario at all. A case in point is this ‘Commentary/interpretation’ from ‘Geneva Study Bible’, Bible Hub.
Those things which befell the people of the Jews in the thirty four
years, when the whole land was wasted, and at length the city of
Jerusalem was taken, and both it and their temple destroyed, are mixed
with those things which will come to pass before the last coming of the
Lord.
The whole nation would utterly be destroyed and this word flesh is
figurative word for man, as the Hebrews used to say.’
It is a foolish interpretation which makes little sense if applied to short periods in Jewish history, or even to the full and long history of the Jews. Moreover, the meaning of: “Since the beginning of the world” etc., etc., is rock- solid clear; aeons of geological time versus 34 earth years, ridiculous. Crass intellectualism, not Spiritual insight, intuition, and knowledge, dominate Scriptural interpretation to suit an academic/religious narrative.
So: Another toxic religious minefield, and, depending on which ‘corner’ of monotheism the three primary religions occupy, the very notion resounds with claim, counter claim, absolute acceptance, vociferous denial, and lots of other “stuff” in between.
Do you, reader, ever look at the state of the world and say: “Why is this earthly home of ours so insane?” “What is wrong with the people who run it?” “Why is there so much religious madness?” “Why can they all not see how it really is?”
The answer is quite simple, and here we simply repeat and reinforce what you have already read. Those who supposedly “lead us” do not possess the primary “ingredient” with which to really make a lasting difference to the sad state of human societies today --- and that is the knowledge of The Truth. Therefore, “those who lead” do not/cannot use what they really need to in order to get at least a few things “permanently right”. Let’s hammer it home again:
“Everyone wants the world to be their way”. In anyone’s nutshell:
That’s it!
As an interesting footnote to the belief of the “return of Jesus”, Evangelist, Jimmy Swaggart, on his Sky channel on Monday 20th Feb. 2017; told his admiring audience a story about Sir Winston Churchill. It was after W.W.II, where one day Churchill invited a Minister of the Church to his home. According to Swaggart’s story -- which we can certainly take to be gospel -- Churchill told the Minister that he did not want to talk about the war, geo-politics, the Iron Curtain, or world economics etc. He put forward the observation that because the world was in such a mess, it was no longer possible for man to “put it right”.
In concert, at Winston’s request, the discussion was solely about the “return of Jesus”. In Churchill’s sage observation, that was the only possible solution for global humanity; His “return”. The story is interesting because of Churchill’s overall and seemingly-constant demeanour, both in war and peace; of necessary pragmatism. Clearly, it is a side of Churchill that perhaps only a few ever knew about.
So even the great man understood that only with Divine intervention will we ever have peace and a better world, for it is not possible to make the right decisions to produce the commensurate outcomes if one does not begin with the right tools. Unfortunately, that’s not going to happen. We will simply “drunkenly-stagger” our way to a very bad collective outcome now in the relatively near future judging by how things are deteriorating more and more rapidly.
Despite that hard reality, let’s still look at the subject matter at hand and hopefully help you to some seriously beneficial recognition. As we proceed, we should take note of Einstein’s marvellous definition of senility:
“To keep doing the same things and expect a different result.”
