The Resurrection

THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS CHRIST

Blog Post Date:  4-14-2020

1 Peter 1:19-21 NET but by precious blood like that of an unblemished and spotless lamb, namely Christ. (20) He was foreknown before the foundation of the world but was manifested in these last times (days) for your sake. (21) Through him you now trust in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.

What “days” are we currently living within?  It is the “last days”.  When did the “last days” begin?  Answer: at the resurrection of Jesus Christ.  The “last days” will last approximately 2000 years.  Perhaps 2030, or nearby, will be the final point.

The Sadducees did not believe in a/the resurrection and they often attempted to trap Jesus in some particular answer to their questions:

Luke 20:34-38 NET So Jesus said to them, "The people of this age marry and are given in marriage. (35) But those who are regarded as worthy to share in that age and in the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage. (36) In fact, they can no longer die, because they are equal to angels and are sons of God, since they are sons of the resurrection. (37) But even Moses revealed that the dead are raised in the passage about the bush, where he calls the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob. (38) Now he is not God of the dead, but of the living, for all live before him."

As can be seen in the answer Jesus gave the Sadducees in Luke 20:34-onward that even Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob have been resurrected and live before God.  Where they are living is a good guess.  Many have attempted to answer that question but currently, no one answer seems to be the correct one.

The redemption and resurrection of men and women was foreordained prior (if that seems possible to our finite minds) to the creation of the world.  Nothing of any value, or otherwise, will redeem us other than God Himself through the work of Jesus Christ.

It is said to believe in the name of Jesus Christ and you will be saved.  But how do you believe in the name of Jesus Christ?  What exactly is one supposed to believe?  Many people claim to be saved, but are they?  Some of these people do nothing for the Kingdom of God.  They may attend a church on occasion and put some money in the offering plate but are they saved?  Do they ever explain the Gospel to another?

The answer is – everyone will be resurrected at some point in the future, but not everyone will be part of the first resurrection.  Even Paul was at certain times concerned that he might not be part of this first resurrection, although, in later life, he admitted that he most likely was a part of it.  As explained in the Revelation, the second resurrection occurs at the end of the 1000 year Millennial Kingdom.

Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob were said to be resurrected and living within the will of God but they had never heard of Jesus Christ.  How is that possible?  The answer:  is that one becomes a working member of the Kingdom of God such as David and others.  No one has seen God and only a few people have seen Jesus Christ.  Allowing “Jesus into one’s heart” is possible only if that person becomes a working citizen within the Kingdom of God.  Is this statement claiming that “works” are important?  No, but it is something that a saved person will naturally perform without even thinking about it.

Many Old Testament people have been saved for the first resurrection prior to the lifetime of Jesus Christ.  Believing in Jesus Christ is believing that God has redeemed mankind through the death and resurrection of Jesus, not just believing that Jesus was the Son of God, which He was and still is.

Those resurrected individuals, such as Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, have bodies similar to those of angels.  They will never die and there will be no need to procreate themselves.  Jesus tried to explain this concept to His disciples but they apparently could not understand at that moment.  Even the disciples had a certain sense of blindness about various things.

Mark 10:32-34 NET They were on the way, going up to Jerusalem. Jesus was going ahead of them, and they were amazed, but those who followed were afraid. He took the twelve aside again and began to tell them what was going to happen to him. (33) "Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests and experts in the law. They will condemn him to death and will turn him over to the Gentiles. (34) They will mock him, spit on him, flog him severely, and kill him. Yet after three days, he will rise again."

John 20:6-10 NET Then Simon Peter, who had been following him, arrived and went right into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen cloth lying there, (7) and the face cloth, which had been around Jesus' head, not lying with the strips of linen cloth but rolled up in a place by itself. (8) Then the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, came in, and he saw and believed. (9) (For they did not yet understand the scripture that Jesus must rise from the dead.) (10) So the disciples went back to their homes.

The lack of the disciples of knowing the scripture is reinforced in John 20: 9.  They did not understand it nor would they completely know until the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost.

Acts 2:32-35 NET This Jesus God raised up, and we are all witnesses of it. (33) So then, exalted to the right hand of God, and having received the promise of the Holy Spirit from the Father, he has poured out what you both see and hear. (34) For David did not ascend into heaven, but he himself says, 'The Lord said to my lord,: "Sit at my right hand (35) until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet." '

At the Pentecost meeting, Peter quoted the OT and said that Jesus is sitting at the right hand of God.  Earlier we learned that David was most likely resurrected but is not sitting in the throne room of God.  Perhaps David is in the bosom of Abraham.

Why the Hatred for President Trump?

WHY THE HATRED FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP?

8/19/2018

Jesus Christ was/is the righteous Son of God who never committed a sin.  Paul called Him the last Adam.  His sinless nature and His crucifixion as the Passover Lamb of God paid the sacrificial price for the sin debt owed by Adam thus paying the sin debt cost that resulted in redemption for every human being who has ever been born.

This article will be a comparison of the hatred for Jesus Christ by the Jewish and Edomite religious leaders and the hatred for Donald Trump as displayed by liberals, Democrats, Rhinos, government workers, the MSM, and Hollywood.  Although I believe Mr. Trump was appointed by God to rid this country of the Babylonian mafia, he is merely performing the preparatory work prior to the return of Jesus Christ to institute the Millennial Kingdom of God.  Mr. Putin may also be appointed by God for his preparations in the other half of the world.  After all Trump and Putin are both descendants of the ten tribes of the northern country called Israel.

To many fly-over deplorables, the anti-Trump attack, from so many different sources, is almost completely unbelievable in its sheer ferocity.  Bill Clinton was and is a whoremonger, but that was no problem for the blue state people. 

George Bush Junior was and is a low I.Q. birdbrain.  His government was operated by “not so deep state” neocons under the authority of Brzezinski with his one world government machinations, as was the Kenyan Muslim named Obama.  Some Hollywood types threatened to leave the country if Bush was elected, but they didn’t to the deplorable’s disappointment.

Obama did more than any previous president to destroy American industry and created issues and avenues to induce companies to move their manufacturing overseas.  The increased addition of EPA laws and regulations during his term, had a devastating effect on all small businesses’, agricultural projects, and mineral mining.  The goal was to reduce the USA to the level of a third world country, and this plan would have succeeded if Hillary C. had been elected President.

The MSM (main stream media) has created:  lies; false reports and information; graphs and charts with false information; and a never ending stream of complaints concerning any aspect of Mr. Trump’s words and actions.

Mr. Trump’s popularity and favorability has continued to increase:  within the red state areas; the black population; and the Hispanic population.  But the level of hatred from the Democrats, Hollywood types, University students on the East and West coasts, Antifa, the MSM continues to grow even more than Mr. Trump’s favorability levels. 

A recently posted article entitled, Is President Trump the Second Most Hated Innocent Man in History?  by Jon Watkins discusses the hatred the religious rulers had for Jesus Christ and compares that to the hatred the politicians, MSM, Hollywood, and others have for Donald Trump.  But it does not explain the “WHY” for the hatred.

Jesus Christ

In the case of Jesus Christ there are several reasons that various commentary writers have attempted to explain.

The majority of the Jews and Edomites, particularly the religious leaders, refused to accept that God had placed them under the custody of four empires:  Babylonian, Persian, Greek, and then Roman.  They refused to submit because they were expecting a Messiah who would rout the Romans and make Judea the most prominent nation in the world.  Their thinking was based on inaccurate interpretations of Old Testament prophecy.  The first incarnation of Jesus was to make right the punishment instigated by Adam due to his willful sin which caused everyone after him to be born as an unlawful sinner.  Jesus, who was completely righteous and never committed a sin, was the ultimate sacrifice for the total remission of all sins for all people as He was the Lamb of God.

Secondly, the religious Jews and Edomites had much to lose if the Kingdom of God actually began at the beginning of the first century.  They had:  prominent positions; considerable wealth; fine food; luxurious houses; the best of clothing; and people treated them with respect, although it was reluctant.  They had no intention of throwing all that away and live in what they considered near poverty conditions like the disciples and followers of Jesus.

The third and possibly the most important reason is if Jesus Christ was recognized and anointed as their prophesied Messiah, He would be appointed as King of the Kingdom.  The religious leaders would lose all power, opportunity, and authority.  They could not allow this to happen and so they had Jesus crucified by the Romans and stole the Messianic crown for themselves, or so they thought.

Donald Trump

Recently it constantly appears quite curious why there is such intense hatred for Donald Trump from so many different groups other than the basically Christian fly-over red state normal people.  The above phrase, “basically Christian” is relevant because it is perceived that the left leaning liberals’ tidal wave of hatred spiced with ridiculous snips and comments have no Christ-like values at all.  What do these haters need to cure them of their illness?  They need the Holy Spirit and the Laws of God that deal with justice and  that deal with justice and the love for God and put away all idolatry.

In my observation, Mr. Trump has done nothing criminal, corrupt, or wrong other than verbally fighting back against the constant stream of sarcasm and vitriol aimed in his direction.  As can be similarly applied concerning the reasons of hatred among the religious leaders during Jesus’ time on earth, the answer may be found in the question, “what do the haters think they will lose”?  There are so many issues of hatred within the following groups that it would be difficult to list every one without writing an encyclopedia.  The list will hopefully be short and “to the point”.

Politicians

Congressional politicians, especially Senators, will be elected and go to Washington with perhaps a relatively high bank account but they will soon be multi-millionaires.  The millionaires will soon become billionaires.  Under the table deals, lobbyist’s payoffs, stock market insider tips and scams, with other types of graft grow their net worth exponentially.  Most citizens are aware of these shenanigans but it has happened so long and so often that the thought attitude has become, “well, that is just the way it is”.

1 Timothy 6:10 NET For the love of money is the root of all evils. Some people in reaching for it have strayed from the faith and stabbed themselves with many pains.

The corporations give them kickbacks if they will advocate for no borders and a steady stream of cheap labor immigrants, illegal or otherwise.  Thus the Democrats desire a constant stream of illegal immigrants because they think they will always vote Democrat, which is probably true if they get a government check.  The Democratic welfare scheme, enacted under Lyndon Johnson, is bankrupting the working class of American citizens.

Many of them operate clandestine self-enrichment schemes and/or are highly paid law-making lobbyists for various corporations and institutions.

Deep State Including the FBI and the CIA

Although many of the characteristics of the politician group will also apply to the Deep State, there are some added issues they do not want to lose.

Many of them recognize or believe they are “above the law” in many of their operations.  They have a certain amount of perceived power and authority.  They can change things at their discretion; have people assassinated or do it themselves; sell secrets for money; etc.

They also engage in clandestine self-enrichment schemes and/or are highly paid trouble shooters and problem fixers for various corporations and institutions

Hollywood

Not all, but it appears that the majority of the Hollywood types are the most corrupt and disgusting group of molesters, sexual predators, and pedophiles in the country.  Q-Anon has even hinted that Bill Mayer is hiding pedophile tendencies or may be a working pedophile.  Tweets by James Gunn posted by Q are completely vulgar pedophile comments. If you wish to read them go to post #1854 dated August 11, 2018 at www.qanon.app .  The Hollywood and TV crowd are deeply afraid they will be called out and possibly arrested due to pedophilia and child trafficking.

Their movies and TV shows are becoming increasing more pornographic.  The large amount of B-movie nudity of the late 60’s and the 70’s has mostly been cut back.  They are currently promoting LGBT themes by displaying homosexual characters in most movies and TV shows.  They appear to be anti-gun for the common people, but many of their productions are extremely violent with an increasing amount of killings, murders, and property destruction.

MSM – Main Stream Media

It is claimed the CIA somewhat informs the MSM the desired news or non-news to report.  All the major “cable” news networks, the New York Times, and The Wall Street Journal are Jewish owned although that may or may not have much of an effect as long as Mr. Trump pretends to befriend Israel. 

However, it appears obvious they cater to the Democrat agenda; they barely report Democratic wrongdoing; many of them appear to support Antifa; they support abortion;

and they are usually silent about pedophilia and other sex crimes by anyone other than perhaps a Republican.  It has been said that MSM is a Democrat institution, although there is no tangible proof.  There could be some connection between the MSM and the CIA or billionaire oligarchs but again there is no credible evidence.

Liberal, Left Leaning, Street People

All of the above groups including the street people appear to be anti-Christian and anti-Christ (not antichrist).  Their thinking is based on what they deem as Democratic principles.  If they are University educated, they most likely are socialist, fascist, communist oriented though indoctrination by their professors.  It seems the main reason they are anti-Trump is because they believe their fascist (socialist) future was delayed or destroyed due to Hillary Clinton’s election loss.

There are several online articles claiming the majority of these young people do not have a job and live with parents.  They will find themselves in a pathetic situation when their parents are gone.

All The Above Groups

Crimes against people, particularly children and babies, is the most corrupt hidden event that many individuals in the above groups desperately want to hide forever.  It has often been said “they assumed Hillary would be elected and everything would continue as always” with their crimes, corruptions, and wrong-doings never being exposed or becoming public knowledge.

A news report dated 8/14/2018 tells how a Grand Jury says that about 300 Catholic priests just in the state of Pennsylvania molested more than 1000 children since the 1940’s.  http://www.fox29.com/news/local-news/deadline-looms-for-release-of-catholic-church-abuse-report-1   Many are relatively certain this number of priests is just “the tip of the iceberg” concerning pedophilia and sexual assault.  This was due to Mr. Trump’s insistence and the MSM barely or rarely reports it.

Many of the crimes against children involves satanic rituals and Luciferian religion dating back thousands of years to the time when the sacrificial murder of babies was commonplace and open.

In the land of Canaan and Moab, worship of Molech (or Moloch) was particularly focused upon child sacrifice by burning them alive.

Mindlessly killing babies through the process of abortion is very similar to the baby sacrifices common in Judah just prior to their death and/or deportation by the nation of Babylon.  Baal – Child Sacrifice: The Root Of Abortion on 7/9/2018 and can be read at this link:  Baal Sacrifice Abortion

From:  Baal – Child Sacrifice: The Root Of Abortion

It was believed that human sacrifice to Moloch or Baal held the key to prosperity. In a similar manner, abortion costs much less than raising a child, plus a no child policy frees up one’s social and recreational life.  People desiring to live in selfish prosperity and ease brought their firstborn child to the high priest, where the child would be offered as a burnt offering to the Baal deity.

Dr. Stephen Jones has this to say about Moloch sacrifices, ancient and present:

The priests understood (in a perverted way) the ancient prophecy that the Son of God would come to die for sin. Not understanding it, they instituted false religions where the priests were said to represent God and that the women had to have sexual relations with the priest before she could be married. Many were impregnated by the priest (representing God), and the first-born sons were then sacrificed to atone for the sins of the people.

There is cannibalism going on today, and it is quite common in certain satanic rituals. This includes drinking blood that has been oxidized by adrenalin. It is known as adrenochrome. (This formula) is created in satanic circles by torturing or terrorizing someone (often a baby). These Satanists then drink the adrenalized blood, which acts as a hallucinogen and is now the drug of choice among those who can afford it.

Some have already tried to expose this practice and have been ridiculed or banned from the Social Media.

Revelation 18:2-3 NET ….."Fallen, fallen, is Babylon the great! She has become a lair for demons, a haunt for every unclean spirit, a haunt for every unclean bird, a haunt for every unclean and detested beast. (3) For all the nations have fallen from the wine of her immoral passion, and the kings of the earth have committed sexual immorality (fornication) with her, and the merchants of the earth have gotten rich from the power of her sensual behavior (promiscuity)."
