Revelation, Enlightenment and Verbal Inspiration

 I have written briefly on the allegory of Galatians 4. But I will return to the subject and explain the New Covenant, as represented by the free woman, Sarah, and her son, Isaac. 

However, before returning to the allegory, I want to bring to the attention of those who have ears to hear, another mystery of God. Those who failed to understand this mystery, the bible, for them, will remain a sealed document.

As is usual with the Chosen Vessel, he often introduces mysteries that were concealed in the Old Testament, by saying, "It is written." Here is a similar example thus: But as it is written, "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, neither have it entered into the heart of man, the things that God has prepared for them that love him. But God has revealed them to us by his spirit (1 Cor.2:9-10):

The question that screams at us for an answer is this: who are the people that love God? For Jesus says, "He that has my commandments, and keep them, he it is that love me: and he that loves me shall be loved of my father, and I will love him and manifest myself unto him (John 14:21). 

That statement rules out an army of people, who pay lip service to keeping the commandments of God, and that was and is primarily true of the hireling ministry, who were and are nothing more than duplicitous politicians.That behaviour makes them carnally minded, and therefore unable to understand the allegory of Galatians 4, why Paul was in continual sorrow or what God has prepared for those that love him.

However, after using the analogy of the inscrutability of the human mind by others, to illustrate that God's mind is also inscrutable, and we can only know the things of God, if he reveals them to us by his spirit: Paul says, "We  have received, not the spirit of the world (of course, the spirit of the world is the devil), but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are feely given to us of God (1Cor.2:12). Thereby, the Christian moves from revelation to enlightenment. That is, "The eyes of their understanding being enlightened ;(Eph.2:13-18).

Of course, those that have not received the spirit of God, the revelations of the spirit of God are foolishness unto them, because they are carnally minded (1 Cor.2:14).

Next, Paul moves to verbal inspiration thus: "Which things we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Spirit teaches:(1Cor.2:13). From the divine vocabulary, the Holy Spirit chooses the words to enable the writer or speaker to explain what God has revealed to him. Hence, "All scripture is given by the inspiration of God" That is wonderfully sublime.

In contrast, note the phrase, "Not in the words which man's wisdom teaches." Man's wisdom is derived from empiricism, which is based on assumptions, conjectures, surmises and speculations, all leading to erroneous conclusions. The gods of science usually invent a vocabulary, designed to hide their ignorance and blind the public. For example, what the bible calls fear, the gods of science call "anxiety:" without understanding or defining what it means

Today, when any of our leaders, and especially scientists, open their mouths to speak, they invariably begin with phrases, such as,  "I think, I believe, in my opinion, the evidence indicates, the assessment is, etc., etc. Which means, we are ignorant. Plus, the Chosen Vessel was inspired to write: "For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent(1 cor.1:19).

Yet, people who claimed to believe in God, have more faith in medical science than in the healing power of Jesus Christ. Ye, it doesn't matter how many drugs  are given to the sick, they never get better. In fact, the side effects of the drugs often hasten their death.

Today, we have millions of people in care homes, on every medication under heaven, yet not a single person ever leave a care home alive. Yet, every morning people march up to the temple of the gods of science to pay homage: often leaving awe struck at the latest promise of rejuvenated health, which never occurs.

If this madness was scripted in Hollywood, people would fall about laughing.

The End of The World

Cato, a Roman statesman, observed thus: "We must lay hold on the best opinions of men, as a raft, to take us over the dangerous waters ...
