SEAL 1:

There are so many variant cannons of the Bible. Who has the correct set of the Bible? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Books_of_the_Bible

Answer: No one. (Broken 7 August 2013)

P2) The Illusion of Religious Authority

Religious authority is often taken for granted, yet even the Bible references non-canonical books, raising questions about how scripture itself is defined. When religious texts quote sources outside their own tradition, it challenges the idea of a singular, infallible authority.

With multiple versions of the Bible across Christian denominations—Catholic, Protestant, Eastern Orthodox—alongside other sacred texts from different faiths, the inevitable question arises: Who is right, and who is wrong? If the answer is simply, “The right one is the one I believe in,” then we are not seeking truth—we are clinging to dogma.

History proves that this mindset fuels division. Religion has been at the root of wars, tensions, and hostilities, from conflicts in the Middle East to the European and French Wars of Religion. The more people insist that their faith is the only valid one while dismissing all others, the more they perpetuate misunderstanding and conflict.

This leads us to a crucial question: Does your religion truly promote peace and respect for others?

Many religions advocate for peace, but the real test is in how those teachings are lived out. Does your faith encourage coexistence, or does it breed judgment? Does your religious community foster empathy, or does it shut down those who think differently? Are you open to dialogue, or are you more interested in being right?

Sadly, religious institutions have too often failed these tests, fostering intolerance instead of understanding. The problem is not merely what people believe, but how they act in the name of those beliefs.

In an interconnected world, it is crucial to question assumptions, engage in genuine conversations, and work toward peace, justice, and respect. A religion’s true measure is not doctrinal correctness but its ability to inspire love, compassion, and reconciliation. As scripture says: A good tree bears good fruit, and a bad tree bears bad fruit. Yet history has shown that good trees—voices of peace and truth—have often suffered at the hands of bad trees, those who silence opposition in the name of religious devotion, often through bloodshed.

The religion we have today is not purely divine—it is shaped by centuries of conflict. And as history is written by the victors, those in power control the narrative of “true” events.

​The 7 truths are profound revelations meant to heal, restore, and bring peace to a world that has been fractured by division, conflict, and suffering. These truths hold the power to guide humanity towards unity, understanding, and spiritual renewal. By embracing these principles, individuals and communities can align themselves with divine wisdom, working towards rebuilding what has been broken to create a more harmonious world. They represent a pathway to reconciliation, where healing is possible and peace can be achieved, even in the most challenging circumstances—but only if we choose to walk that path.

​P​3) Religious texts, like the Bible, are meant for study and intellectual engagement, not for asserting absolute certainty or superiority. They should be understood through a historical lens, context, reasoning, and reflection, rather than as tools for exclusion or persecution. Sadly, throughout history, scriptures have often been misinterpreted to justify violence, as seen in extremist groups such as the ISIS.

Jesus' words in Luke 4:24, "No prophet is accepted in his own country," reflect the persecution of those who challenge the status quo. Jesus, his disciples, and many early Christians faced this rejection, and the list of religious persecution continues today, affecting various religious minorities.

Religion should teach humility, not pride. No one is absolutely right in all things, and true faith should foster empathy, respect, and compassion for others. Religion, when understood properly, should unite us, not divide us.

1) Jesus

2) His twelve disciples

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galileo_affair

​​​Differing opinions, especially on matters of faith, often provoke intense anger and outrage within religious communities more than anywhere else. This is partly because religion is deeply tied to identity, conviction, and worldview, making challenges to beliefs feel like personal attacks. The church tasked with unveiling the 7 seals resisted this mission for 12 years (as of January 2025), leading to confusion and division within the church while chaos deepens further in our world.

​However, at the heart of the 7 truths lies a transformative message: by the end of the 7th seal, the world will come to realise that all hostilities and fighting should cease. The fundamental truth revealed is that we are all brothers and sisters in the human race, united by our shared humanity and divinely ordained purpose. This message calls for unity, peace, and mutual respect, transcending religious and ideological divisions.

​

P5) The earliest Christians embraced a collection of scriptures that have since been lost, altered, or reformed over the past 2000 years. The need for restoration, as articulated in Acts 3:21, is central to the message of the first seal. This restoration is essential in reclaiming the original beliefs and traditions that were gradually forgotten or modified.

​

For deeper insight into the early Christian scriptures and the historical context of these traditions, we can look at important sources such as:

​These sources help us explore the foundation of Christian beliefs and the broader historical narrative that has been reshaped and evolved over time.

P​6) CONCLUSION #1

The Bible has been compromised over time—altered, reduced, and distorted through translations. The meanings of the original texts have often been skewed. In the translation process, words have been lost, substituted, or incorrectly added or removed.

The problem with translation is that it’s impossible to fully translate a text without understanding its context. Objectivity is difficult without knowledge of the history, biases, and preconceived ideas surrounding the original work. This means that no translation of the Bible is entirely objective. When people treat their translated Bibles as the absolute "Word of God," it can lead to extremism and a dangerous sense of superiority. The same applies to anyone using religious documents to assert dominance or authority.

For example, the words "God" and "The Lord" come from different Hebrew terms, just as the Greek word "love" has various meanings. These subtle differences, combined with the difficulty of defining "God," show the challenges all religions face in attempting to understand and describe the divine. Theology, the study of God’s nature, can only ever offer further insights. If we think we have fully understood God, can He truly still be God? At best, we uncover new evidence to explore deeper into His nature.

This raises the question: should humanity fight over which religion is "right" when no one can truly claim to have all the answers? How vast and infinite is God? How much does our Bible truly capture in comparison to the immensity of God? Is it possible that by limiting God to what we know through our religious background and chosen texts, we’re putting Him in a box? Doesn’t it make sense to continue seeking a deeper understanding? Insisting that we have God fully figured out is a serious matter.

History teaches us that no one is completely right or wrong. Every issue has two sides. Hostility, fighting, and wars are not solutions to conflicts or differences. Pride is the root cause of tension, as each side insists they are right. As we explore the upcoming revelations, we’ll see that everyone is both right and wrong. Fighting only proves to be futile.

Let us, therefore, strive for peace on earth and goodwill toward all people.

​

P7) REFLECTION

Science, and especially archaeology, is a wonderful friend. It's a platform to discover the hidden secrets of God, unlike what most religious people thought. They sought to contain Him in a box, when God is much larger than their religious framework. Their attempts to squeeze Him in is futile because God is much larger than what they think. Soon, and yet for another time, God is gonna come out of the box, and do a dance parade! ― The Child

You are the deep innerness of all things, the last word that can never be spoken. To each of us you reveal yourself differently; to the ship as a coastline, to the shore as a ship. ― Rainier Maria Rilke

What tears us apart is a sense of superiority and a hostile rejection of those whose religious traditions are other than our own. Wars are fought, people killed, nature destroyed, families divided, theologians and writers silenced by church authorities, all by those self-righteously claiming that "my God is better than your God." ― Joyce Rupp

God-images change as times change, and even as we change. Christianity has outgrown that familiar God-image of an aging patriarch presiding over heaven and keeping tabs on Earth. In this age of cosmological awareness, we now acknowledge and gratefully celebrate the cosmos as the embodiment of God... The images and names I have for God are markers on my spiritual journey that reflect a theological evolution through layer after layer of an inner unfolding, preparing the way for a cosmic wisdom in a quantum universe. ― Miriam Therese Winter

​

SEAL 2:Christians believe that they need to propagate their religion to save people from hell. How true is that?

Answer: Not true at all. (Broken 7 August 2013)​

​

P2) There is no hell. The concept of hell is not originally part of Jewish beliefs. It was introduced into Christianity from external sources during the development of its identity. Misinterpretation of certain Bible verses, especially when taken out of context, led to the idea of hell in Christian theology today. For more information, you can explore this article on hell.

​However, the Bible does mention a form of punishment specifically intended for Satan, his angels, and those who follow their footsteps (Jude 1:13, Luke 8:31). It’s important to note that no one is condemned to hell simply for practicing a different religion than Christianity.

P3) Didn't Jesus issued a commandment to preach the "good news" to the world so that all may believe in him?

Yes, Jesus did issue the commandment to spread the "good news" to the world, calling for all to believe in Him. This good news is that through Adam, the curse of sin entered the world, but Jesus completely removed it through his sacrifice. This is the core of the gospel message — salvation has been made available to everyone. Not just Christians.

Consider Romans 5:18 (NIV): "Consequently, just as one trespass resulted in condemnation for ALL people, so also one righteous act resulted in justification and life for ALL people."

Before Jesus' sacrifice, everyone was under the curse of sin. The good news is that, through His obedience on the cross, Jesus has set everyone free. This was part of God's divine plan, promised from the very beginning in the Garden of Eden.

​​

P3) Why did Jesus say that he is the way, the truth, and the life? ​

When Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life," he was emphasising two key points.

First, his death on the cross atoned for our sins, making it possible for all of us to be reconciled with the Father. Our own actions could never accomplish this, but through his sacrifice, the path to salvation is made clear.

Second, Jesus was teaching us to follow his example — a lifestyle of love, goodness, and kindness. This, he said, is the way, the truth, and the life. It’s not about believing in a religion created by men borrowing his fame; it’s about embodying the values he taught, living selflessly and with love, as a reflection of his character.

The purpose of this good news is transformative. It should change us from the inside out, motivating us to be loving and selfless, just as Jesus was. Our freedom in Christ is not a freedom to live selfishly, but to live in service to others and to reflect the same love he has for humanity.

To suggest that being a Christian is the only way to "go to heaven" or be saved is taking Jesus’ words out of context. The essence of his message is broader — it's about living a life modelled after His love and sacrifice.

P4) What did Paul write regarding salvation?

Paul emphasised that salvation is not earned through merit, but is a gift of God’s grace. This does not contradict, but rather reinforces, what I presented on the previous page. As Paul wrote in Ephesians 2:8-9, salvation is by grace through faith, and not by works, so that no one can boast.

Let’s break it down and decode what he meant by that:

1. Salvation is given by grace (through faith).

2. It is not by works.

3. No one can boast.

Paul’s message reinforces the point that salvation by grace is freely given to all. It cannot be earned, and no one has the ability to boast about it.​

​​​What does “through faith” mean?

Now, Paul’s letters were primarily directed to Christians who were already part of the church. They were not written for non-believers. Many early Christians struggled with various issues, one of which was understanding the full implications of their salvation. Many believed that simply acknowledging their salvation was not enough.

Paul’s letters addressed specific issues within these early Christian communities, and often, these writings have been taken out of context when used to form broad doctrinal claims. To properly understand Paul’s message, it is crucial to study his letters within the broader historical context, considering the specific issues faced by the church at that time. These writings were not meant to define universal doctrines for the entire world, but were responses to particular situations in those early Christian communities.

When Paul spoke of “faith,” he was not referring to a complex religious ideology. Rather, he was talking about a simple act of belief.

P5) The following, is what Paul wrote regards to the Gentiles. (A Gentile is a term used to describe a non-Jew. Regardless of your background or religious belief, if you are not a Jew, you are a Gentile and this verses apply to you.) 

For it is not the hearers of the Law who are righteous before God, but it is the doers of the Law who will be declared righteous. Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the Law, do by nature what the Law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the Law, since they show that the work of the Law is written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts either accusing or defending them. Rom 2:13-15

​Paul’s teachings regarding Gentiles are significant in understanding the broader scope of salvation and righteousness. As Paul explains in Romans 2:13-15, it is not merely hearing the Law that makes someone righteous, but doing what the Law requires. Gentiles, who don’t have the Law, can still demonstrate righteousness by following its principles naturally, showing that the Law is written on their hearts. Their consciences bear witness to this, either accusing or defending their actions.

​In Romans 2:26, Paul continues to challenge the idea that physical circumcision is necessary for righteousness. If a Gentile, who is not circumcised, keeps the Law, his actions would be regarded as fulfilling the Law, just as circumcision would. He further elaborates in Romans 2:27-29, asserting that true Jewishness, or in a broader sense, true righteousness, is not about outward appearances or physical rituals but is a matter of the heart, accomplished by the Spirit, not by the letter of the law. True praise comes from God, not from human approval.

​Similarly, Paul's message applies to the label of "Christian" as well. A true Christian is not defined by self-identifying as one or by outward labels, but by living in accordance with the teachings and values of Jesus Christ—whether they are consciously aware of it or not. This is reflected in Matthew 25:34-40 and Matthew 7:21-23, where Jesus underscores that those who genuinely follow His teachings through acts of love, compassion, and service to others align with God's will, regardless of their formal religious identity.

P6​​) Further down in the letter, Paul uses Abraham as an example to show that God is the God of all people, both Jews and Gentiles. Abraham was not a Jew, even though he is considered the father of the Jewish nation, but he also fathered non-Jews. He had children with Hagar (Ishmael), Sarah (Isaac), and later with Keturah (six more children). In total, Abraham had eight sons, becoming the father of many nations, some of whom are still in conflict today, a huge part due to religious differences.

​Abraham did not receive the law, which was given to Moses generations later, nor was he a Christian. He could not have "received Christ" or said "the sinner's prayer." Despite this, his faith, which predated the law and the birth of Christ, was counted to him as righteousness. Abraham did not understand the need for salvation as we do, nor the concept of sin, since the law had not yet been introduced. He lived long before the religious regulations and worldviews that were later created.

​Therefore, his righteousness, which came by faith, was not based on any specific religious system, order, or belief. It was a righteousness that transcended religious labels and was rooted in his active trust in God's goodness and promises.

​

P7) CONCLUSION #2

1) Those who did not hear the good news of Jesus Christ, or

2) Those who refused "Christianity" not so much because of Christ, but because through a process of time, how thousands of years later, these so-called "Christians" had misrepresented God and the gospel;

God does not punish anyone unreasonably. All are already saved from the curse of sin which originated from Adam. It is how you live your life that counts.

SEAL 3: Adam and Eve was the first pair of human beings God created. True or false?

Answer: False. (Broken 8 August 2013)

P2) ​The Bible was not written in chronological order, and the "creation story" should be read as a parable, not to be taken literally. Adam and Eve, however, mark the beginning of a new generation, known as the Adamic generation or Adamic race. (Note: The terms "race" and "generation" would be used interchangeably in the context of this discussion.)

​In Genesis 1:24-26, a clue is provided. 

On the 6th day (a number symbolizing humanity), God created the "Cattle", "Creeping Thing", "Beast of the Earth" and "Adam" (man). 

​If you interpret the creation story as an allegory, the hidden message becomes clearer: before Adam, there were 3 other generations of early humans. Archaeological findings reveal that while Adam and Eve lived approximately 6,000 years ago, the earliest evidence of modern humans dates back around 350,000 years.

​This suggests a broader understanding of humanity’s history, extending beyond the literal interpretation of the creation narrative.

​

P3) Another clue is found in Genesis 3:1: "Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the earth which the Lord God had made."

​Firstly, the serpent here symbolizes Lucifer, as it's used to imply a personality rather than simply describing an animal. If we accept that the serpent represents Lucifer, then the talking serpent suggests that the creation story is not meant to be taken literally.

Secondly, the verse states that the serpent was "more cunning than any beast of the earth," excluding it from the comparison with "cattle" and "creeping things." This raises the question: why is the serpent singled out in this way? Wouldn't it make more sense to say, "the serpent was more cunning than all the creatures the Lord God had made"? While some English translations use this phrasing, most translations—along with the original text—highlight the specific comparison between the serpent and the "beast of the earth."

​Thirdly, if the purpose was simply to categorize the serpent, it seems misplaced. The serpent could more logically be categorized as a "creeping thing" or "reptile," rather than as a "beast of the earth."

​Finally, notice the singular nouns used throughout the passage: "cattle" (not "cattles"), "creeping thing" (not "creeping things"), "beast" (not "beasts"), and "man" (singular). These singular terms suggest that each category represents an entire generation of "mankind."

​These clues, when considered together, suggest a deeper, non-literal meaning behind the creation story and its depiction of the serpent.

​

P4) Let’s examine Ezekiel 28, which addresses Lucifer.

The first part of the passage (Ezekiel 28:1-10) refers to Lucifer as the "Prince of Tyre," describing him as a human figure. The second part (Ezekiel 28:11-19) shifts to referring to him as the "King of Tyre," portraying him as an angel or divine being. This reflects Lucifer being seen as "the god of this age."

In verse 2, God rebukes Lucifer for his arrogance, saying, “You say, ‘I am a god, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas,’ yet you are a man, not a god.”

Verse 9 further emphasizes Lucifer’s delusion, asking, “Will you still claim to be a god when faced with your own destruction? You are a man, not a god, and will fall into God’s judgment.”

​This passage highlights Lucifer’s pride and self-exhortation to his divinity, which ultimately led to his downfall. It also reveals that his original identity was once a man, before he was transformed into a very high ranking god (angel.)

​

P5)The comparison of the following verses reveals a striking pattern.

In Ezekiel 28:5, it states, “By your great wisdom in trade you have increased your riches, and your heart is lifted up because of your riches.” Similarly, in Ezekiel 28:16, “By the abundance of your trading, you became filled with violence within, and you sinned.”

Lucifer, when described as a man, was a successful businessman— a trader by the sea— who became the wealthiest in his generation. In Genesis, "the serpent" is depicted as the most cunning and crafty, terms often used in reference to shrewdness in business. The same Hebrew word used to describe the serpent is also found in Proverbs, where it is translated as "prudent."

Verse 3 of Ezekiel 28 further confirms that Lucifer is being described as a man: “Behold, you are wiser than Daniel.” God would not compare Lucifer (an angel) with Daniel (a man), unless Lucifer was being compared here as a man to another man.

In a poetic way, the passage from Ezekiel 28 illustrates how Lucifer’s pride, stemming from his wisdom and wealth, led to his eventual downfall.

​

P6) It has become a common belief that God created angels before humans. However, this assumption did not take into account a complete references of relevant scriptures. Firstly, there are various types of angels in the Bible—seraphim, cherubim, and principalities. Each type of angel has its own role and glory. The largest category of them were originally human beings. Lucifer, for example, was one of them, as described in Ezekiel 28.

Several verses suggest that at the resurrection, human beings will be transformed into beings like angels:

Matthew 22:30 – “At the resurrection, people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.”

Revelation 22:9 – “But he (the angel) said to me, ‘Don't do that! I am a fellow servant with you and with your fellow prophets and with all who keep the words of this scroll. Worship God!’” This angel identifies as a servant and fellow prophet, indicating that he was once human. The word "fellow" here means "of the same kind."

These verses highlight that at the resurrection, humans will undergo a transformation, becoming like angels, emphasizing a deeper connection between the two.

P7​) The Sun, Moon and Stars, are metaphors used to describe the host of the heavenly (angelic) bodies of various degree of glory.

1) When you look to the heavens and see the sun and moon and stars— all the (angelic) host of heaven— do not be enticed to bow down and worship what the LORD your God has apportioned to all the nations under heaven. Deut 4:19

2) When the Most High gave the nations their inheritance, when He divided the sons of man, He set the boundaries of the peoples according to the number of the sons of God (assembly of gods/angels). But the LORD’s portion is His people, Jacob His allotted inheritance. Deut 32:9

3) "There are also heavenly bodies and earthly bodies. But the splendor of the heavenly bodies is of one degree, and the splendor of the earthly bodies is of another. The sun has one degree of splendor, the moon another, and the stars another; and star differs from star in splendor. So will it be with the resurrection of the dead." 1 Cor 15:41-43

Putting these together, we can infer that at the resurrection, humanity will "marry" or join with the angels in their glory, symbolized by the "sun, moon, and stars." This joining represents a unity with the heavenly beings, transcending earthly limitations and entering into a divine state of glory and harmony.

​

P8​) Besides Lucifer, there is another personality outside of the generation of "Adam", and is found inside the Bible.

​His name is Job.

​Job is not a descendent of Adam. He was before Adam. Job addressed God as "Eloah", that is the only book of the Bible that God is frequently referred by that name. "Eloah" a singular (or dual) noun, unlike "Elohim" which is plural in form, but singular in meaning.

​​Interestingly, the writer started the story narrative by addressing God as "Elohim", then it switches to "Eloah" whenever Job was addressing God. Job has an astounding story to tell.

​

P9) When you study the book of Job, you will find some interesting discovery. Although anonymous, rabbinic tradition ascribes the authorship of Job to Moses. Many scholars would agree that the language used by Job, the tools and lifestyle described him as someone very ancient. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Job

​Interesting facts:

Job’s era, as depicted, features creatures like Leviathan (a sea dragon), and Behemoth, a giant land animal—both of which are not part of our (Adam’s) generation but belong to an earlier time.

​These creatures and Job’s story offer intriguing insights into the ancient world, raising the question of why Job’s narrative is included in the Bible. Understanding Job’s significance and the context of his story will become clearer as we explore Seal 6.

​​

10) CONCLUSION #3

​The Bible is not a book about science or social justice. It doesn’t address dinosaurs, human rights, civil rights, or women’s rights. Just because the Bible is silent on certain topics doesn’t imply their non-existence or unimportance. The absence of dinosaurs or human rights discussions in the Bible doesn’t negate their significance.

​The Bible is a tool for understanding life through study. It reveals insights into human development, history, and how divine forces have shaped societies. Written centuries ago, in a vastly different cultural and historical context, it addresses matters far removed from today’s issues. Back then, there were slaves, limited medical knowledge, and brutal societal behaviours. People killed each other over trivial things, deities incited wars, and innocent lives were lost without question or explanation.

​Religious texts should be read with curiosity and critical thought, not as mere proclamations of divine authority. Religious extremism and violence only provoke disgust and fear. Those who engage in such acts are trapped in outdated, primitive thinking.

The Bible is full of metaphors and allegory. No one should take it literally or use it to justify harm in the name of a personal (or even communal) interpretation of God. Holding a particular ideology or doctrine does not make it inherently right. No man should become a tyrant under the guise of his version of God.

Proverbs 25:2 reminds us: "It is the glory of God to conceal a matter and the glory of kings to search it out." The 7 seals will help debunk myths and superstitions, like the once widely believed notion that the Earth was flat or that the sun revolved around the Earth. Don’t elevate superstition to the level of truth. History teaches us that sincerity does not guarantee correctness.

Therefore, we must remain humble. There were civilisations long before Adam and Eve, and even archaeology offers clear evidence of this.

Summer and winter, and springtime and harvest,

Sun, moon and stars in their courses above,

Join with all nature in manifold witness

To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.

― Thomas Obediah Chisholm (1866-1960) "Great Is Thy Faithfulness"

​Our ancestors came from outer space ― Maurice Chatelain. When man began to multiply on the face of the land and daughters were born to them, the sons of God saw that the daughters of man were attractive. And they took as their wives any they chose. Then the Lord said, "My Spirit shall not abide in man forever, for he is flesh: his days shall be 120 years." The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men who were of old, the men of renown. — Genesis 6:1-4 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sons_of_God

In Job's time, he and his friends too have a concept of sin and sanctification. He also made burnt offerings, but his offerings were directed for his children, in case they have sinned and cursed God in their hearts.

​Q: In Job's time, there is a person by the name of Satan. Was he Lucifer?

A: Satan, is not a name. It means the "accuser" in the OT, or "hostile opponent" in the NT. For this reason, Jesus said "Get thee behind me Satan" when he was talking to Peter. In the context of Job, the accuser is not identified. We cannot assume it's Lucifer, otherwise we could also assume that Peter has become Satan, through the very words of Jesus.

​Q: How many Satans are there? 

A: Anyone who opposes the will of God and His orders are "descriptively" Satan, but Lucifer took on the fullest identity, a personified Satan when he rebelled against God.

​

SEAL 4: The anti-christ. He is going to dominate the world, assert his power and persecute the Christians?

​Answer: There will be more than 1 anti-christ figure. 1 in middle east, and 1 in Asia. The "Christians" won't be persecuted as they supposed. Instead, some of them will rise up to persecute Christ and the end-time church who was to take the 7 seals and release them to the world. (Broken 9 August 2013)

_______________________________________________________

​

Important Notice:

​After learning of the impending persecution, "the elect" — the church entrusted with spreading the message to the world in 2013 — succumbed to fear. They lost interest in their inheritance and divine reward. They now understood that hell does not exist and no longer feared the consequences of opposing God. In part, they believed that the message of reconciliation couldn't be carried out without their involvement. They saw it as a "God-depends-on-them" moment.

​Choosing defiance, they fell prey to the lies of the devil and rebelled against God's order. As a result, God released a prophecy against them: "The first will be last, and the last first. The (spiritual) wealth of the wicked will be transferred into the hands of the righteous." In Matthew 24:24, Jesus warned that the elect would be the first to fall victim to the devil’s deceptions through great signs and wonders, leading them away from their mission and God's plan. But rest assured, God always has a plan B.

​Revelation 10:4 tells us that some things were hidden even after many things were revealed. By 2023, as the last surviving witness to the 7 seals, I was informed that time has been stretched, and we are living on borrowed time. Prophecies regards to the "end times" have been thwarted by the disobedience of men. Events will not unfold as expected because the secret is now out, and forces in the world have worked to prevent it. Still, there will be another anti-Christ, and other forces will try to dismantle this message, delaying Christ’s full return and the establishment of peace on Earth. The parable of the ten virgins warned us that Christ's return would be delayed.

​​Nevertheless, Christ will return, for his spirit is already walking the Earth, though no one can see or recognise him until he fully discloses himself.

​​As for this seal, consider it a document: it was meant to happen, but it will unfold somehow differently.

P2) There is a widespread misconception about the anti-Christ. First and foremost, the spirit of the anti-Christ has already manifested through various individuals, leading the church away from the truth. The original teachings of Jesus Christ, given over 2,000 years ago, have been hijacked and replaced by institutionalized religions. This is why the Book of Revelation, the final book of the Bible, speaks so negatively about the church. Through the seven letters to the churches, these warnings are made clear, culminating in the ultimate command found in Revelation 18:4: "Come out of her." This refers to coming out of Babylon, a symbol of the fallen church in the last days, which we are witnessing today.

P3​) The seven churches mentioned in the Book of Revelation were not simply referring to the churches of John’s time. Instead, they carry an encrypted message meant for the last generation of Christians. The clues to this interpretation can be found in the seven letters themselves:

The Addressees: The letters are addressed not to the churches themselves, but to the "angels of the church" (e.g., "To the angel of the church in Ephesus write"). It's remarkable that Jesus would require John to write letters to the angels, especially since Jesus could communicate directly with the angels without needing John’s intermediary.

The Content: The letters mention Old Testament figures like Balaam, Balak, and Jezebel—characters who are not relevant to the immediate context of the churches in John's time. If the letters were meant for contemporary readers, Jesus could have used current, recognisable names instead of these symbolic references. These symbolic names point to deeper meanings, especially concerning "food sacrificed to idols," with regards to these names as mentioned in the Old Testament. In contrast to Apostle Paul’s view in 1 Corinthians 8:4, where eating food sacrificed to idols was not a problem, in Revelation, it becomes an abomination, suggesting a deeper, symbolic message.

The Ambiguity: The phrase "Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches" is repeated and ringed throughout the book, indicating that the message is not straightforward and requires deeper understanding and spiritual discernment.

These factors suggest that the seven letters in Revelation were meant to convey a timeless, encrypted message for the end times, rather than just addressing the churches in John's era.

P​4) More clues about the encrypted nature of the Book of Revelation can be found toward the end:​

​4. Revelation 22:18 – "The prophesy of this scroll." The original Book of Revelation was written on a scroll (Rev 1:11). This book is clearly a prophecy about the end times, pointing toward the second coming of Christ and the New Jerusalem. However, the entire format of the book is encrypted using metaphors and mysterious coded symbols and messages. It is not a straightforward text that can be easily interpreted or understood by just anyone. Over the centuries, there have been many incorrect interpretations of this book, as people have tried to make sense of it based on their own limited understanding.

It is crucial to realise that the "Revelation of Jesus Christ" is not a literal text. Much like the creation story in the book of Genesis, it is written as an allegory in the format of a dream filled with symbolisms and metaphors. As such, the book of Revelation should be viewed as a symbolic narrative rather than a literal account.

​

​

P5)To truly understand the concept of the anti-Christ, it's important to examine the scriptures in Daniel 8 and Daniel 11. In these passages, the anti-Christ, who is essentially Satan in human form, will use various human figures throughout history to fulfill his purpose and dominate his domain. As we approach the end times, there will be two main figures who will serve as powerful representatives of this spirit. Though they will be distinct individuals, they will be profoundly influenced and coordinated by the same force—the Devil himself.

Each of these figures will have their own supporters, systems, and networks of human vessels that they will use to carry out their malicious agendas. They will work with great hostility and deception, working together under the devil’s influence to try and thwart God’s plan, leading many astray in the process.

​

P6) ​​The Anti-Christ In the Middle East 

​He will persecute the sons of Israel, the promised son of Abraham. "Then he shall turn his face toward the fortress of his own land; but he shall stumble and fall, and not be found. There shall arise in his place one who imposes taxes on the glorious kingdom; but within a few days he shall be destroyed, but not in anger or in battle. And in his place shall arise a vile person, to whom they will not give the honor of royalty; but he shall come in peaceably, and seize the kingdom by intrigue." Dan 11:19-21

Kingdom of the North, Persia, is Syria.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Syria

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bassel_al-Assad

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bashar_al-Assad

Israel will build physically the third temple. One day, Bashar Al Assad will sit in the holy place in retaliation, and in mockery of the Jewish regime. By that time, Christians worldwide, would come to realise that their understanding of the Anti-Christ was flawed.

(Due to the disclosure of this "secret" in 2013, as well as the distortion of time and subsequent failed prophecies, the aforementioned prophecy is no longer in effect.)

​

P7​) The Anti-Christ In Asia (Dan 8)

The anti-Christ will target the "spiritual" sons of Israel—the Bride of Christ, or the church entrusted with delivering the message of the 7 Seals to the world. This church will face persecution from the anti-Christ, as well as from modern-day Pharisees and self-righteous, self-serving, fundamental Christians. There will be confusion, division, and name-calling within the church as these forces rise up, believing they are serving God by opposing the elect. However, the persecution will be short-lived.

Meanwhile, God's wisdom and judgment will become known throughout the world. Both Christians and non-Christians will be drawn to this spiritual house—what is known as the "third temple" or the "New Jerusalem." This is not the physical temple in the Middle East, but a global, spiritual movement that begins in Asia and spreads worldwide. Despite the persecution, God will gather people from all corners of the earth into this end-time church.

At this pivotal moment, Christ will return and defeat the forces of opposition. The turmoil in the Middle East will reach a climax, and the issue surrounding the anti-Christ will be resolved once and for all.

(Altered by the distortion of time and failed prophecies, this event will no longer occur as originally predicted. Instead, a final plot twist awaits.)

P8) Thereafter, there will be peace in the world.

Isa 11:6 would be fulfilled. "The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the lion and the yearling together; and a little child will lead them."

Rev 12:5 "She bore a male child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron."

Yet at the same time, the Middle East situation will escalate. It will drag every nation possible into war. There will be a third world war. Then, the Adamic generation, and this world will come to a closure.

P9) CONCLUSION #4

Now, the prophesy found in seal 4 regards to the Anti-Christ is not a literal prophesy. That means it can happen, but it also can be stopped. The message of the 7 Seals, the impact of the message, can do one or two things. 

First, it has the power to change. Just like in the days of Jonah, he was sent to prophesy to Niveneh, they heard the message, and repented. The prophesy of the judgement did not come upon them.

However, if the people do not take heed of the underlying message, and in this case, the message of the 7 seals, but persist in their pride and false religion, continue in their error; if the people in the Middle East could not receive or accept (the implication of) this message in time, destruction and doom would be the outcome.

10) REFLECTION

Q: How many Satans are there? 

A: Anyone who opposes the will of God and His orders are "descriptively" Satan, but Lucifer took on the fullest identity, a personified Satan when he rebelled against God. God is the God of new things. Anyone who opposes what God is doing is under the influence of Satan.

​Therefore, Rev 2:9 says, "I know about the slander of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan."

​

Q: Why is the book of Revelation use terms such as "Jews" and "synagogue" instead of "Christians" and "church".

​A: The book of Revelation is an allegorical work, blending Old Testament and New Testament language to depict the third, or millennial, age. Something of the future at the point of writing, when this book of Revelation was written. Symbols were used with a different twist. For example, there were 7 golden candlesticks, instead of 1 solid golden lampstand with 7 candlesticks. (In Levitical tradition, 1 golden lampstand has 7 candlesticks attached.) Similarly, the term 7 Spirits is also a very unusual term and expression. 7 in the book of Revelation has a reference to 1 (oneness, whole, complete.)

7 days make up 1 week. 7 Seals, bearing 1 message when combined together. 

Besides the golden lampstands being described differently, biblical characters, and labels such as Babylon, the (New) Jerusalem (or Mount Zion), the 12 tribes of Israel, except that the names of the 12 tribes were slightly different this time, and many more. They are meant to infer that these descriptions were metaphors, not literal.

SEAL 5: Is homosexuality a sin?

Answer: No. (Broken 27 September 2013)

​

P2) Jesus has something to say about homosexuality. It is actually found in Matthew 19. However, it's important to note that the Bible has historically been translated by communities with homophobic views, and many commentaries have been written to reinforce discriminatory interpretations of homosexuality. As a result, these passages may not be accurately understood.

The context of this passage is a conversation about sexual behaviour and the question of lawful divorce. The discussion concludes with the disciples remarking that, given the severity of the rules, it might be better for people not to marry at all.

Mt 19:10 - His disciples say to him, 'If the case of the man with the woman is so, it is not good to marry.'

P3) In response, Jesus introduced the concept of a group of men who should not marry women, starting with a word of caution.

Matthew 19:11: "But he said to them, 'Not everyone can accept this word, but only those to whom it has been given.'"

This verse is crucial for understanding what Jesus was about to say. He was indicating that not everyone would be able to accept or comprehend the message he was about to share.

P4) Mt 19:12  εἰσὶ γὰρ εὐνοῦχοι οἵτινες ἐκ κοιλίας μητρὸς ἐγεννήθησαν οὕτω· καὶ εἰσὶν εὐνοῦχοι οἵτινες εὐνουχίσθησαν ὑπὸ τῶν ἀνθρώπων, καὶ εἰσὶν εὐνοῦχοι οἵτινες εὐνούχισαν ἑαυτοὺς διὰ τὴν βασιλείαν τῶν οὐρανῶν. ὁ δυνάμενος χωρεῖν χωρείτω. 

YLT - for there are eunuchs who from the mother's womb were so born; and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men; and there are eunuchs who kept themselves eunuchs because of the reign of the heavens: he who is able to receive it -- let him receive.'

The original Greek text uses three words —1. εὐνοῦχοι, 2. ἐγεννήθησαν, 3. εὐνούχισαν— all translated as "eunuchs." This is a play on words that requires careful examination. It is important to remember that the language spoken during Jesus' time was primarily Aramaic (although Hebrew were used in the language of his Bible). However, since we only have the Greek text to refer to, it is through this translation that we seek the "root" of what Jesus said.

Inflected, (root)

1. εὐνοῦχοι , εὐνοῦχος (eunuch)

2. ἐγεννήθησαν, ευνουχίζω (emasculate)

3. εὐνούχισαν, ευνουχίζω (emasculate)

* Strong's Number G2134 matches the Greek εὐνουχίζω (eunouchizō), means emasculated male. 1. The removal of the penis and testicles. (removal of the testicles alone is called castration)

P5) In the Biblical narrative, an emasculated male refers to someone whose male organ or function has been entirely removed, either by cutting or crushing. This practice can be seen as a representation of a transgender man in ancient times.

From a modern perspective, it may seem illogical for a man to undergo such extreme procedures, unless one considers the context of a transgender community. In the absence of modern medical science, emasculation could be viewed as an ancient form of a "sex change".

The Lord instructed Moses that all males were to appear before Him three times a year.

• Exodus 34:23 – "Three times a year all your males are to appear before the Lord God, the God of Israel."
• Deuteronomy 16:16 – "Three times a year all your males shall appear before the Lord your God in the place which He chooses, at the Feast of Unleavened Bread and at the Feast of Weeks and at the Feast of Booths, and they shall not appear before the LORD empty-handed."

However, this rule did not apply to emasculated males. In the following verse, we see a crucial information:

• Deuteronomy 23:1 – "No one who has been emasculated by crushing or cutting may enter the assembly of the LORD."

This passage highlights that those who were emasculated, likely indicating those who underwent a process resembling modern-day gender transition, were exempt from appearing before the Lord. The implication here is that the Bible does not view gender transition as inherently sinful, but rather it reveals from a cultural context, they were no longer considered as males after the bodily alterations in their ancient world.

P6) It's important to remember that Jesus has a deep and profound knowledge of the Scriptures, interpreted and gave meaning to the Bible in ways that challenged the religious norms of his time. His teachings and interpretations often conflicted with the prevailing religious views, which, according to Christian tradition and scripture, eventually led to his crucifixion.

In Matthew 19:12, Jesus references two key passages from the Hebrew Bible using 2 words – "emasculation" and "eunuch" that are significant to the topic at hand. One of these passages we discussed earlier found in Deuteronomy 23:1, prohibits emasculated males from entering the assembly of the Lord.

The other, Isaiah 56:3-5, provides a contrasting and more inclusive message:

• Isaiah 56:3-5 – "Nor let the eunuch say, 'Here I am, a dry tree.' For thus says the Lord: 'To the eunuchs who keep My Sabbaths, and choose what pleases Me, and hold fast My covenant, even to them I will give in My house and within My walls a place and a name better than that of sons and daughters; I will give them an everlasting name that shall not be cut off.'"

P7) From the passages in the Bible, particularly Deuteronomy 23:1, we can conclude that homosexuality, far from being a modern invention or sin, is part of God’s creation.

One might argue that this passage specifically refers to transgenders rather than the broader queer community, but it’s important to recognize that the queer community has evolved over time. Historical hostility and societal rejection have contributed to the diversity of sexual identities and expressions we see today. These identities, now commonly grouped under the label LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender), were not viewed as sins in their original context.

In fact, transgender individuals were historically integrated into society and treated with a degree of respect. They were not stoned or persecuted as they are in some societies today. Instead, they were often seen as part of the broader community, and their existence was recognized without the widespread animosity or legal condemnation that would later follow.

P8) Sin is the deviation from God's law, which serves as a moral benchmark, particularly outlined in the Ten Commandments. Apostle Paul emphasizes this idea in his letters, focusing on the law’s fulfillment through love.

In Galatians 5:14, Paul writes, “The entire Law is fulfilled in a single decree: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’” Similarly, in Romans 13:8, he adds, “Be indebted to no one, except to one another in love, for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the Law.”

Jesus also underscores the importance of love as the foundation of the law. In Matthew 22:40, He says, “All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” And in Matthew 7:12, He states, “In everything, then, do to others as you would have them do to you. For this is the essence of the Law and the prophets.” Similarly, in Luke 6:31, He teaches, “Treat others just as you want to be treated.” The book of 1 John says that God is love and that people should be like him by living a life of love. Paul says in the book of 1 Corinthians, that without love you are nothing. Chapter 13 is a famous explanation on what love is. Love is patient and kind. 

These passages highlight that love and mutual respect are at the core of God’s commandments, forming the foundation of what the law was truly meant to convey. Living a love-filled life is a life of righteousness and truth.

This message of love, emphasized by Jesus, John, and Paul, contradicts modern translations and interpretations that have led to hostility and hatred toward marginalized and fringe groups. Over time, after many years of writing, deception—formed by Satan—crept into the church world. One such deception arose through ignorant and contentious individuals who sought to impose their personal biases, which did not originate from God.

P9) CONCLUSION #5

Modern Christianity, much like Judaism during Jesus’ time, has added layers to the original teachings. There is a tendency among people to create additional rules and standards, striving to be “holier than God” in the process.

As Isaiah 65:5 warns: “They say, ‘Keep to yourself, do not come near me, for I am holier than you!’ Such people are smoke in My nostrils, a fire that burns all day long.” Similarly, Proverbs 30:12 states: “There is a generation of those who are pure in their own eyes and yet unwashed of their filth.”

Jesus also spoke about judgment and how we should treat others: “Judge not, and you will not be judged” (Matthew 7:1-3). Luke 18:9-14 reminds us not to fixate on the sins of others, as doing so only makes us the greater sinner. Throughout Scripture, the condemnation of sin—the kind that leads to a “death sentence”—is often associated with specific figures: Cain, Esau, Balaam, Korah, and Jezebel. Notably, none of the grave sins they committed were related to sex.

When the Bible does mention sexual sins, it primarily refers to adultery—having sex with someone else’s spouse. Yet, religious doctrine has often distorted Scripture to fit its own narratives, altering its original meaning.

To truly understand the Bible, we must read it without prejudice, preconceived ideas, or hatred. Otherwise, we risk misrepresenting its message. Jesus taught us to love our neighbors as ourselves. When we add to this command, we get everything wrong.

There is no inherent sin in being homosexual. Homosexuality is not a sin. It was incorrectly perceived as such due to misinterpretations, mistranslations, and religious propaganda. Sadly, this has led to discrimination, peer pressure, and governmental oppression against sexual minorities.

The truth remains: Homosexuality is not, and never was, a sin.

For further reading on how the term "homosexual" was introduced into the Bible, and its historical implications, check out this article. Additionally, this article explores the social construction of heterosexuality and its impact.

P10) Q: What Was the Sin of Sodom and Gomorrah?

Ezekiel 16:48–50 reveals that Sodom’s primary sins were pride, arrogance, and indifference to the needy—not sexual immorality. The people were “overfed and unconcerned” and “did not help the poor and needy.” Their “detestable things” stemmed from injustice and self-indulgence, not sexual transgressions. This paints a picture of spiritual decay, where people became so self-absorbed that they neglected others.

Isaiah 1:9-10, 3:9, and 13:19-22 reinforce this, linking Sodom to widespread shamelessness and impending judgment. These verses parallel Sodom with the fall of Babylon, a symbol of rebellion in Revelation. Likewise, Jesus references Sodom in Luke 17:28-30, portraying its people as being preoccupied with daily life, oblivious to divine judgment.

Thus, Sodom serves as a prophetic warning—not about sexual orientation, but about a corrupt, self-righteous, and fallen Church, as symbolised in the sixth seal (Revelation 6:12-17), which represents spiritual decay among those who reject the truth.

Q: What About Biblical Passages Condemning Homosexuality?

Genesis & “Strange Flesh”

The sin of Sodom, referenced in Genesis and Jude, is often misinterpreted as a condemnation of homosexuality. However, a deeper look reveals it was not about consensual same-sex relationships but rather unnatural unions—specifically, fallen angels interbreeding with humans (Genesis 6:1-4).

Jude 6-7 describes this as pursuing “strange flesh,” a phrase tied to spiritual corruption and angel worship, not human sexuality.

Leviticus & Family Prohibitions

The prohibitions against male same-sex relations (Leviticus 18:22; 20:13) appear within a list of family-related laws, mostly focused on incest. This suggests the primary concern was maintaining family purity, not condemning consensual same-sex relationships.

Additionally, these laws belong to Israel’s ritual purity codes, many of which Christians no longer follow, such as:

• Avoiding shellfish

• Refraining from wearing mixed fabrics

• Specific hair-cutting restrictions

This indicates these were culturally specific laws, not universal moral commands.

Q. What Did Paul Really Mean by Arsenokoitai?

The Greek word arsenokoitai (1 Corinthians 6:9, 1 Timothy 1:10) is often mistranslated as “homosexuals,” but this is misleading. A closer look suggests Paul was condemning lawlessness, rebellion against God’s authority, and exploitation in the Church, not sexual orientation.

Paul’s Context: False Teachers & Spiritual Corruption

Paul’s letters frequently warn against false teachers who distort the gospel for personal gain. His “thorn in the flesh” (2 Corinthians 12:7) refers to the opposition he faced from these individuals, who introduced private interpretations contradicting Paul’s teachings. Over time, these passages lost their original context and were misinterpreted.

Paul’s References of Himself in His Letters

Paul often speaks of receiving direct revelations (Galatians 1:11-12) and describes being “caught up to the third heaven” (2 Corinthians 12:2-4), where he received insights beyond human understanding. In these passages, God’s ordained authority subtly alludes to his apostolic role, established through his divine calling. His teachings, therefore, carry the weight of divine revelation, contrasting with the false teachers he opposed.

Breaking Down the Word

The word arsenokoitai combines:

• arseno- (ἄρσην) = “male”

• koitai (κοίτης) = “bed” (often with sexual connotations)

At first glance, this might mean “men who bed men,” but this overlooks cultural and linguistic context. Instead, arsenokoitai refers to a specific spiritual exploitation—false teachers misleading the vulnerable with wrong doctrines, introducing them to the worship of angels.

Why Paul Coined the Term

• Arsenokoitai does not appear in any Greek writings before Paul.

• If Paul meant homosexuality, he could have used established terms like paiderastes (pederasty) or eromenos (a young male lover).

• Instead, Paul created a new term, meaning he addressed a specific issue his audience understood.

This suggests arsenokoitai was used to describe a doctrinal issue within church communities, not consensual same-sex relationships.

Theological Themes: Spiritual Corruption and Angel Worship

Paul’s concerns align with broader biblical warnings about spiritual corruption. The phrase strange flesh (Jude 6-7, Genesis 6:1-4) signals idolatry and unnatural spiritual unions, not sexual misconduct.

Likewise, Revelation’s warnings about deception and false worship, symbolized by the number 666, suggest a greater theme of rebellion against divine truth in opposition to God.

Romans 1:26-27 – A Critique of Idolatry, Not Orientation

Some cite Romans 1:26-27 as a condemnation of same-sex relationships, but this passage is about idolatry, not orientation. Paul criticises those who “exchanged the truth of God for a lie” (Romans 1:25)—a reference to wrong doctrine introduced into the Church, not committed relationships.

Metaphorical Language and Exploitative Behaviour

Paul often uses uncommon metaphors to describe corruption in leadership. In 1 Timothy 1:9, he lists:

• “Killers of fathers” and “killers of mothers” (referring to those who reject spiritual authority)

• Arsenokoitai (a reference to exploitative leaders with false teachings)

Paul’s point is not a sudden shift to condemning homosexuality, but a continued rebuke of false teachers who manipulate spiritual truths.

1 Timothy 1:7: “They want to be teachers of the law, but they do not know what they are talking about.”

This sets the premise: Paul is addressing false teachers, and arsenokoitai belongs in that same context.

Sodom and Gomorrah: A Deeper Spiritual Issue

The term “sodomites” in 1 Timothy 1:10 is misleading. Paul does not directly condemn same-sex relationships but instead points to a spiritual matter—the same issue at the heart of Sodom and Gomorrah.

Sodom’s true sin was rejecting divine authority and embracing a corrupted version of truth, leading to spiritual and social decay.

Conclusion

1. Paul’s primary concern was false teachers, not homosexuality.

2. Arsenokoitai was coined by Paul to address a specific issue, to address a wrong doctrine.

3. Paul’s letters focus on lawlessness, false doctrine, and idolatry, not sexual orientation.

4. The metaphorical language suggests arsenokoitai refers to self-appointed leaders who abuse their influence in a church setting, not consensual relationships.

5. The connection to Sodom and Gomorrah reinforces the theme of rebellion against divine authority, not sexual behaviour.

Misinterpretations Have Caused Harm

Mistranslating arsenokoitai has led to centuries of harm, discrimination, and exclusion of LGBTQ+ individuals. Revisiting Paul’s true intent allows the Church to move toward a more just and Christ-centered understanding.

Ultimately, arsenokoitai was not a blanket condemnation of same-sex relationships but a warning against spiritual leaders who distort the gospel for personal gain.

P11) Uncovering the True Relationship

Between David and Jonathan

Same-gender attraction has always existed, though societal understandings of it have evolved. In biblical and historical contexts, many individuals, regardless of attraction, married and had children due to societal expectations.

One of the most intimate relationships in the Bible is that of David and Jonathan. While the concept of homosexuality as we define it today did not exist in ancient times, same-gender love certainly did—and their story is a powerful example.

Jonathan’s Love for David

Jonathan’s love for David was immediate and profound:

“The soul of Jonathan was knit to the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.”

—1 Samuel 18:1

The original Hebrew—“וְנִקְשַׁרְתָּ֥ה נֶ֖פֶשׁ יְהוֹנָתָֽן בְּנֶ֣פֶשׁ דָּוִ֑ד”—suggests that this intense attachment was reciprocal.

This was no mere platonic connection. Even more telling is what followed: Jonathan immediately made a covenant with David and sealed it with a deeply symbolic act—stripping off his royal armor, including his robe, sword, bow, and belt, and placing them on David. This act signified not only trust but the relinquishing of his status as heir to the throne.

Would a “straight” man behave this way?

• He loved David as his own soul.

• He made a covenant immediately—a lifelong bond.

• He stripped off his royal armor for David—an act of unwavering devotion and intimacy.

• Simply put, it was love at first sight.

David’s Response to Jonathan

David’s love for Jonathan is more subtly recorded, but key moments reveal the depth of their connection:

“As soon as the boy was gone, David arose out of the south, fell on his face to the ground, and bowed himself three times. THEY KISSED ONE ANOTHER, AND WEPT ONE WITH ANOTHER, AND DAVID WEPT THE MOST.”

—1 Samuel 20:41 (Dead Sea Scrolls)

This was no casual farewell. It was an emotionally charged separation between two people who deeply loved each other.

Later, upon Jonathan’s death, David lamented:

“I am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan; You have been dear to me. Your love to me was more wonderful than the love of women.”

—2 Samuel 1:26

This is an extraordinary statement.

The Meaning of “Brother” and

“Dear to Me” in Hebrew

1. “Brother” (אֲחִי, ’achi)

• While ’achi means “brother,” in this context, it conveys an intimate, chosen bond rather than a biological relationship. It was often used to describe deeply personal and covenantal relationships, not casual friendships.

2. “Dear to Me” (נַעֲמַנְתָּה לִי, na’amanta li)

• Often translated as “you have been very pleasant to me,” na’amanta li more precisely means “you have been sweet,” “delightful,” or “precious.” It suggests deep cherishing, treasuring, and emotional intensity—language frequently used in romantic contexts.

David was not merely mourning a friend or comrade. He was grieving someone uniquely dear to him, whose love he described as surpassing that of women—a comparison suggestive of an intimate, even erotic, connection.

Jonathan’s Attraction and Biblical Sexuality

Jonathan’s love for David was undeniable. By modern standards, he might be understood as homosexual or Gay on the LGBTQ+ spectrum. However, in his time, marriage and offspring were societal expectations, regardless of personal orientation.

This underscores a crucial point: while the term homosexuality as an identity did not exist in ancient cultures, same-gender love certainly did.

Over centuries, interpretations of their relationship have been reframed through heteronormative lenses, diminishing the depth of their bond and downplaying the vivid expressions in the original texts.

Was David Bisexual?

David later married multiple women and had concubines, suggesting he was not exclusively attracted to men. In modern terms, he might be described as bisexual or sexually fluid.

Jonathan, however, displayed singular devotion, even relinquishing his own right to the throne in favor of David—an act of selfless love.

A Covenant of the Deepest Kind

David and Jonathan’s bond went beyond personal affection; they made a covenant before Yahweh.

In Hebrew, Beriyth (בְּרִית) refers to a standard contract, but their covenant was Karath (כָּרַת), meaning “to cut”—a reference to an ancient ritual where parties passed between pieces of sacrificed flesh. This signified the most sacred and unbreakable bond, considered even more binding than marriage.

For a man to make such a covenant with another man—not for business or political alliances, but purely for their relationship—reveals the depth of their bond.

David’s Love for Jonathan

When David learned of Jonathan’s death, his lament was one of the most emotionally powerful expressions of love in scripture:

“Saul and Jonathan, beloved and pleasant in their life, and in their death they were not parted…

How have the mighty fallen in the midst of battle! Jonathan is slain on your high places.

I am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan; You have been very pleasant to me.

Your love to me was more wonderful than the love of women.

How have the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished!”

—2 Samuel 1:23-27

David’s sorrow was profound. He did not merely lose a companion—he lost someone whose love surpassed all others.

If David and Jonathan were alive today, their relationship would likely be recognised as one of deep same-gender love—emotionally and physically intimate. This was not just a brotherly bond; it was marked by deep affection, longing, and possibly erotic undertones, as implied in David’s comparison to the love of women.

Final Thoughts

The love between David and Jonathan was:

✔ Unquestionably real

✔ Deeply intimate

✔ Freely expressed

✔ Honored in scripture

Despite modern attempts to downplay their love, the biblical text speaks for itself. Their relationship was one of devotion, affection, and loyalty—what today would be recognized as a profound same-gender love story.

David’s love for Jonathan was unparalleled.

The Bible does not condemn David for this.

There is no shame in their love.

And that speaks volumes.

SEAL 6: Is the Trinity God?

Answer: No. However, they are absorbed and "have become" part of God-hood. (Broken 11 November 2013)

P2) Rev:12-13 "And I saw when he opened the sixth seal, and lo, a great earthquake came, and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood, and the stars of the heaven fell to the earth -- as a fig-tree doth cast her winter figs, by a great wind being shaken."

The Sun, Moon and Stars are metaphors of the Trinity.

The Sun is a picture of our Father God. His divine or angelic name is Yaweh, also known affectionately as Jehovah. He is the greatest deity who sits on the heavenly throne. He is the (current) King of all the kings, Lord of all the lords, and Angel of all the angels. As such, he is also known as the Angel of the Lord, and the Lord of Hosts. The title "Ancient of Days" came about because in very ancient time, he once lived as a man. He name was Job.

The book of Job was likely written by Enoch. For Enoch walked with ha-Elohim: "The God", and then was taken. While walking with a deity while on earth, he was having a personal relationship with him. So "the God" who revealed himself to Enoch told his story to him.

P3) The Moon serves as a symbolic representation of Jesus in this verses.

Jesus said to Philip: "Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father." (John 14:9)

He also explained: "Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does, the Son also does." (John 5:19)

These statements suggest that Jesus figuratively compares himself to the moon—a reflection of the light of the sun. In this analogy, the Sun represents God the Father, and the Moon (Jesus) reflects the Father’s nature, values, and goodness to humanity. Otherwise, the statements would not align.

This symbolism becomes clearer when considering their distinct roles. In heaven, there are no sick to heal, no lepers to cleanse, no multitudes to teach, no demons to cast out, and no disciples to make. Jesus wasn’t claiming to witness God the Father doing these earthly tasks; instead, he was emphasizing his role like the moon, which acts as a mirror reflecting the Father's love and divine nature to humankind.

As one cannot look directly at the Sun without going blind, so too, no one can see the face of God the Father and live (Exodus 33:20). Yahweh has the appearance of a man because, he was once a man who became a deity. However, the God who created heaven and earth is void of a specific physical form or image.

The reason why Jacob claimed to have seen "God" and lived (Genesis 32:24-30), because the god he saw was not Yahweh. Instead, the "Man" Jacob wrestled with was the pre-incarnate manifestation of Jesus.

The Stars, in this metaphorical framework, represent a collective body of holy angels. Together, they form the embodiment of the holy spirit(s), contributing to the trinitarian symbolism of the Sun, Moon, and Stars.

P4) Ancient Judaism had a nuanced understanding of God that Christianity has often misunderstood. In ancient Jewish belief, many gods existed, but Yahweh (YHWH) was Israel’s personal or national god—considered the greatest among all gods. Yahweh was revered as "one god," the supreme deity above all others.

Psalm 24:10 declares, “Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory!” This verse emphasizes Yahweh’s majesty as the King of all the gods (or the assembly), and Zechariah 14:9 foretells a time when Yahweh will reign supreme over the entire world:
"And the LORD (Yahweh) will be king over all the earth. On that day the LORD (Yahweh) will be one and his name one."
This prophecy envisions a future where Yahweh’s dominion and name are universally recognised—an event that has not yet been fully realised.

Isaiah 30:26 adds to this vision of Yahweh’s ultimate reign:
"Moreover, the light of the moon will be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day when the LORD binds up the brokenness of his people, and heals the wounds inflicted by his blow."
This poetic imagery describes a future where Yahweh’s glory and restorative power will shine universally, bringing healing and renewal to His people.

In Christian theology, this future also includes the exaltation of the Son, Jesus, who is seen as the "Crown Prince." Jesus is foretold to assume the title of King of kings and Lord of lords (in Revelation 19:16). While this title is attributed to Jesus specifically in Revelation, earlier references in the Bible attribute it to Yahweh, God the Father (e.g., Ezra 7:12; Ezekiel 26:7; Daniel 2:37). In some instances, it also describes earthly rulers like Artaxerxes and Nebuchadnezzar, who symbolically represented God the Father supreme authority over all.

Ultimately, the biblical narrative points to a day when the entire world will honour both the Father (Yahweh) and the Son (Jesus), recognising their authority and divinity. This future fulfilment underscores the unity and shared glory of the Father and the Son as central to the divine plan.

P5) These are some of the verses shared previously, for your attention.

The Song of Moses

"When the Most High gave the nations their inheritance, when He divided the sons of man, He set the boundaries of the peoples according to the number of the sons of God. But the LORD’s portion is His people, Jacob (Israel) His allotted inheritance." Deut 32:8-9

"When you look to the heavens and see the sun and moon and stars— all the (angelic) host of heaven— do not be enticed to bow down and worship what the LORD your God has apportioned to all the nations under heaven." Deut 4:19

So, from these verses, we could have a glimpse into the ancient world whereby all the gods were apportioned to all nations and to be worshiped, each nation having their own national god or gods.

P6) All the nations under heaven were given other gods, but Israel belonged to the LORD (Yahweh/Jehovah). The following verse attempts to show the mighty power of the God of Israel in comparison to other gods.

“Has any (other) god ever tried to take for himself one nation out of another nation, by testings, by signs and wonders, by war, by a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, or by great and awesome deeds, like all the things the LORD your God did for you in Egypt before your very eyes?” – Deut 4:34

In fact, the Bible is full of such comparisons between gods, especially the Father comparing Himself with other gods, and His (begotten) Son in comparison to other sons (a.k.a. angels or gods).

“God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways, in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the world.” (This part refers to Jesus’ pre-incarnate form as Enoch, whose descendants include Noah; and through Noah, being the sole ancestor of all of his descendants, which constitute today’s population.) “And He (referring to Jesus) is the radiance of His (Yahweh’s) glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the power of His word.” (This refers to Jesus making decisions and judgments according to the values, precepts, and principles illustrated in Scripture.) “When He had made purification of sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high; having become as much better than the angels, as He has inherited a more excellent name than they.” – Heb 1:1-4

From the above verses, we can conclude that the Bible foretold the future destiny of Jesus’ divine authority. He assumed His rightful status after sacrificing His body, shedding His blood, and making ransom for all of humanity. Afterward, He sat down next to Yahweh and became much better than the rest of the angels (gods).

P7) Q: Who is the true God?

When Paul encountered a group of deeply religious people in Athens, they even had an altar inscribed with the words "To the unknown god." Paul used this opportunity to explain the true God. This is what he said in Acts 17:24-28:

“The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven (god’s domain) and earth (the dwelling place of mankind) and does not live in temples built by human hands. And He is not served by human hands, as if He needed anything. Rather, He Himself gives everyone life, breath, and everything else. From one man, He made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and He marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands. God did this so that they would seek Him and perhaps reach out for Him and find Him, though He is not far from any one of us. ‘For in Him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are His offspring.’”

Key Observations:

1. Paul did not mention the Trinity.
   Although Paul had the perfect opportunity to explain God as a Trinity, he did not. Instead, he emphasized God as the singular Creator and Sustainer of all life.
2. God as the invisible Spirit.
   Paul described God as the Spirit who is self-sufficient and requires nothing from humans. Unlike deities who depend on human actions or offerings, God is the source of life and all creation. (This contrasts with examples like Yahweh requiring Moses to lift his hands to empower Israel's victory in battle. Without their worship, they failed.) God does not require a temple or tabernacle, a place to be worshipped, unlike gods.
3. God’s proximity to all people.
   Paul spoke to idol-worshiping Gentiles and still acknowledged that they were living and moving in God. He reassured them that God is near to everyone, even to those outside of the covenant faith.
4. The idea of humanity as “offspring.”
   The Athenians believed humanity originated from nature. Paul reframed this belief, describing God as the ultimate Spirit from whom all life flows, both seen and unseen.
5. God as Spirit and Creator.
   Paul presented God as the Spirit who created everything. He described the Spirit as being immanent in creation and sustaining all existence, without referring to any person in the Trinity.

Conclusion:

God is Spirit, the Creator of everything visible and invisible. Paul emphasized this Spirit's universal presence, connecting it to both believers and non-believers. The Trinity, in this context, may be understood as part of the embodiment of God, acting as agents or messengers (akin to angels). However, Paul’s focus was on God’s singular, life-giving essence, accessible to all humanity without limitation or intermediary.

P8) A Major Overlooked Event in Acts 17:29-30

Paul states:"Therefore, since we are God’s offspring, we should not think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone—an image made by human design and skill. In the past, God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent." (Acts 17:29-30)

This statement is striking because it suggests a significant shift in God’s approach toward idolatry. In the Old Testament, idolatry was sternly condemned with dire consequences for those who violated the First Commandment: "You shall have no other gods before me." (Exodus 20:3)

Idolatry in ancient Israel was viewed as a betrayal of the covenant between Yahweh and the nation of Israel. Worshiping foreign gods was strictly forbidden and often met with punishment. However, Paul, as a rabbi, declares in Acts 17:30 that “in the past, God overlooked such ignorance.”

Why Did Paul Say God Overlooked Idolatry?

Paul’s statement indicates that the Old Testament law against idolatry was specific to the covenant between Yahweh and Israel. Here’s why:

1. The Old Testament Commandment Was National, Not Universal
   The First Commandment (“You shall have no other gods before me”) was part of the Mosaic Covenant between Yahweh and the nation of Israel. It was a binding agreement for Israel to recognize Yahweh as their personal and national deity, distinct from other gods. It did not impose the same expectations on Gentiles or other nations.
2. Paul Acknowledges Their Ignorance
   In Acts 17:30, Paul acknowledges that idolatry was born out of ignorance, not rebellion against established covenant. Paul implies that God, in His mercy, “overlooked” this ignorance because it was not a wilful violation of a divine relationship.
3. The Arrival of Jesus Marks a Universal Call
   Paul’s proclamation marks a pivotal moment: with the arrival of Jesus, God’s message is no longer limited to Israel. Now, all people everywhere are commanded to repent, moving beyond idolatry and recognising the one true Creator. This universal call signals a new covenant, where Jesus replaces the old frameworks of worship, including the Mosaic Law.
4. The Worship of Yahweh Was Part of the Old Covenant
   Paul’s statement subtly suggests that even the worship of Yahweh (as a national deity) is now superseded. Jesus’s arrival brings a deeper understanding of God—not as one deity among many, but as the universal Creator who transcends human constructs like idols, gold, or stone. Worship is no longer about covenants with specific nations but about a global relationship with the divine Spirit.

Conclusion

Paul’s declaration in Acts 17:29-30 represents a theological shift. While the Old Testament law condemned idolatry within the context of Israel’s covenant with Yahweh, Paul reveals that this was specific to a time and people. Now, in light of Jesus’s life and teachings, God calls all humanity to turn away from idolatry—not just in the form of physical idols, but in any misunderstanding of God’s true nature. Worship is no longer bound by national covenants or historical laws but is open to all people through repentance and faith in the universal Creator.

This teaching underscores the transition from the Mosaic Covenant to the New Covenant, where Jesus embodies the fulfilment and expansion of God’s plan for all humanity.

P9) In Paul’s explanation of God, he did not directly mention Jesus by name. However, he referred to Jesus as the man whom God has appointed to judge the world. As stated in 2 Timothy 4:1 and Acts 17:31:

“For He has set a day when He will judge the world with justice by the man he has appointed.”

In this passage, Paul described a future event where God will use a man to judge the world. Notably, Paul could have said, “He will judge the world by the son of god whom He has appointed,” but he specifically chose the word “man.” This choice of words is significant, as it underscores Jesus's humanity and highlights his unique role in God’s plan.

Who Is Jesus? Why Is He the “Begotten Son”?

1. Jesus Is Not God’s Only Son
   The Bible frequently refers to “sons of God,” often in the context of angels. For example:
   • “Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came among them.” (Job 1:6)
2. These “sons of God” are understood to be angels—men (from before Adam’s generation) who were elevated into spiritual angelic beings.
3. Jesus as the “Begotten Son”
   Jesus, however, is unique among the sons of God. He is described as God’s “ONLY begotten Son” (John 3:16), indicating a singular and distinct relationship with God.
   • Unlike the other sons of God who became angels, Jesus was the only Son descended from the lineage of Adam.
   • His title of “begotten” signifies his transformation into a divine figure and his elevation to a unique role in God’s heavenly plan.
4. Jesus’s Preexistence and Role
   Jesus existed before his earthly incarnation 2000 years ago, as described in John 1:10-11:
   • “He was in the world, and the world was made through Him (literally birth forth from his lineage), and the world did not know Him. He came to His own, and His own descendants did not receive Him.”
5. This passage implies that Jesus had a previous role in humanity and existed before entering the world again as "Jesus". He also declared, “Before Abraham was, I am” (John 8:58), further affirming his preexistence.
6. Jesus and Enoch
   Jesus’s identity is tied to Enoch, a significant figure in biblical and extra-biblical traditions:
   • Enoch is described in Genesis 5:24 as walking faithfully with God until God “took him away,” implying his ascension into heaven.
   • In certain traditions, Enoch is associated with Metatron, a heavenly scribe and intermediary between God and humanity.
7. Similarly, Jesus is seen as a divine figure who was taken up into heaven and became the “begotten Son.” His connection to Enoch highlights a connection that has been missing in traditional Christianity.

Summary

• Paul’s deliberate use of “man” in Acts 17:31 emphasizes Jesus’s humanity while acknowledging his divine role.
• Jesus is distinct from other “sons of God” (angels) because he originates from Adam’s lineage, unlike them.
• His title as the “begotten Son” reflects his unique transformation and heavenly role, aligning with Enoch’s ascension in Genesis.
• Jesus bridges the gap between humanity and God, fulfilling a singular role in procreation, redemption and final judgment.
• Jesus is known as the Alpha and Omega. Rather than signifying the Creator, this title describes his presence in Genesis as Enoch, as well as his return at the end of this age.

P10) John 1:1-14

1 In the beginning was the word  (Metatron)
and the word (Metatron) was with the (Father) god (theon),
and the word (Metatron) was a god (theos)
2 This was the beginning with the (Metatron) god (theon).
3 Through him (his loins), all came into being.
4 In him was zoe life, and the zoe life was the light of mankind,
5 and the light in the darkness shines, and the darkness cannot overcome (capture/seize) the light.
6 There was another man sent from God (theou) his name was John.
7 He came for the purpose to be a witness, in order to testify about this light, so that all might believe because of him.
8 John was not the light but to bear witness concerning the light.
9 This was the true light, which enlightens every man, coming into the (kosmon) world. 
10 In the (kosmo) world he was, and the (kosmos) world through him came to be, and the (kosmos) world could not recognize him.
11 Unto those of his own (Adamic race) he came, and those of his own could not receive him.
12 As many as but receive him, he gives to them authority and they become children of God (thoeu),
13 born not of blood, nor of the will of flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God (thoeu). 
14 And the word (Metatron) became flesh (human), and dwelt among us, and we beheld the glory of him, the glory as the only begotten by the side of the Father, full of grace and truth.

P11) Although a god, Jesus does not consider himself (equal with the Father) god. The following scriptures state that Jesus has a god too.

John 20:17
Jesus said to her, “Stop clinging to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brethren, and say to them, ‘I ascend to my Father and your Father, and my god and your god.’”

Romans 15:6
So that with one heart and mouth you may glorify the god and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Ephesians 1:17
I keep asking that the god of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better.

2 Corinthians 1:3
Praise be to the god and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort.

2 Corinthians 11:31 (KJV)
The god and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is blessed for evermore, knoweth that I lie not.

1 Peter 1:3
Praise be to the god and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

Revelation 1:6
And has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his god and Father– to him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen.

Revelation 3:12
Him who overcomes I will make a pillar in the temple of my god. Never again will he leave it. I will write on him the name of my god and the name of the city of my god, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from my god; and I will also write on him my new name. 

P12) Who does Jesus considers himself? The answer is found below.

Then the angel said to me, “These words are faithful and true. The Lord, the god of the spirits of the prophets (angels), has sent his angel to show his servants what must soon take place. Behold, I am coming quickly. Blessed is the one who keeps the words of prophecy in this book.” And I am John, the one who heard and saw these things. And when I had heard and seen them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who had shown me these things. But he said to me, “Do not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers the prophets, and with those who keep the words of this book. Worship God!” Rev 22:6-9

The entire text above is self explanatory.

P13)

On the Fourth Day: God Created "Gods"

In Genesis 1:14-19, we read that on the fourth day, God created the luminaries:

“And God said, ‘Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night. And let them serve as signs to mark sacred times, days, and years, and let them be lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth.’ And it was so. God made two great lights—the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars. God set them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth, to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the fourth day.”

Observations:

1. Many translations use "lights," but the Hebrew word ma'or is better translated as "luminaries" or "light-bearers."
   • The sun is the source of light during the day.
   • The moon reflects light—it doesn’t produce its own. It mirrors the light of the sun.
   • The stars, in this context, are included as celestial bodies that mark seasons and provide light.
2. This creates an interesting paradox:
   • On the first day, God said, “Let there be light” (Gen 1:3). Yet, the sun, the apparent source of light on Earth, was only created on the fourth day.
   • Before the fourth day, how could the earth have experienced light, mornings, and evenings without the sun, moon, or stars?
3. The Fourth Day as Metaphor:
   • Could the "greater luminary" (sun) represent God the Father, the ultimate source of goodness and truth?
   • Could the "lesser luminary" (moon) represent Jesus, reflecting the light of the Father to humanity?
   • Could the stars symbolise angels or divine beings, guiding humanity in the spiritual darkness of night (evil).

The Mystery of the First Days

The text raises key questions about the first three days:

1. What was the "light" on the first day?
   If the sun wasn't created yet, what source of light illuminated the earth? Some interpret this as God's divine presence, a metaphorical light that doesn’t rely on the physical sun.
2. How could plants survive without sunlight?
   On the third day, God created vegetation:
   • “Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their kinds.” (Gen 1:11)
     Plants need sunlight for photosynthesis—so how could they grow before the sun appeared?
3. What about the timeline of "evenings and mornings"? Without the sun, moon, and stars, how could the first three days have experienced mornings and evenings as described? These questions suggest that the creation account is more metaphorical than literal.

Has God Rested?

Genesis 2:2-3 says that on the seventh day, God rested from all His work. However, Jesus offers a deeper understanding of this in John 5:17:

“My Father is working until now, and I am working.”

This implies that God’s rest is not complete, and His work of sustaining and redeeming creation continues. Key points to consider:

1. The Seventh Day Is Open-Ended:
   Unlike the first six days, the seventh day does not conclude with the phrase, “And there was evening and morning.” This suggests that the seven-day creation is an ongoing process. Just like how we experience week-after-week on earth—God is still at work in the world.
2. The Work of Redemption:
   Jesus emphasises that God continues to work, particularly in redeeming humanity and creation. This is evident in the ministry of Jesus, who fulfilled the work of God through healing, teaching, and ultimately, his sacrifice. And we are called to do the same.
3. Is Creation Complete?
   The Bible indicates that God’s ultimate purpose for creation is not yet fulfilled. Revelation describes a future where a new heaven and a new earth will replace the current world (Rev 21:1-5). Until that time, God’s creative and redemptive work continues. Now, what does it mean to have a new heaven? This is a very important question. The next big question would be what does it mean to have a new earth?

Summary of Key Insights:

1. The fourth day introduces luminaries as metaphors:
   • The sun (God the Father), the moon (Jesus reflecting the Father’s light), and the stars (divine beings or angels).
   • This aligns with a symbolic rather than strictly literal understanding of the creation account.
2. The first three days may symbolize phases of creation rather than literal 24-hour periods. Each of the elements representing a foundational principles or patterns in God's creation. Descriptions are metaphorical.
3. God’s work is not yet complete. While God ceased His "initial work" of creation, His work of sustaining and redeeming the world continues until the fulfilment of His ultimate plan.

These questions and alternative interpretations invite us to think more deeply about the creation account and its theological significance rather than focusing solely on a literal understanding.

P14)

God’s Plan for Humanity: Reproducing His Divine Nature

In Genesis 1:26, God declares: “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.”

This suggests that God (Elohim) in this passage refers to a collective entity—a divine assembly. This assembly of gods came together to shine their light on humanity, imparting their image and likeness to mankind.

The Divine Nature of God: Father and Son as Former Men

We know from earlier discussions that God the Father and God the Son were previously men who ascended to divine status, becoming part of "Godhood." This process of divine elevation demonstrates a pattern: God is reproducing Himself, passing on His throne and authority to the next generation.

• Heaven and Earth will pass away (Matthew 24:35), but God's Kingdom and divine plan will endure.
• The Father’s throne will ultimately be given to the Son, and Jesus in turn invites His followers to share in His throne.

As Jesus says in Revelation 3:21:

“The one who overcomes, I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.”

God’s Invitation to Us: Becoming Part of His Divine Family

This means that God is reproducing Himself, generation after generation, and this invitation is extended to all of us. Those who overcome, who love God and live according to His purpose, are invited to share in His divine nature and authority.

Paul echoes this profound promise in 1 Corinthians 2:9:

“What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived—the things God has prepared for those who love Him.”

The plan of God is beyond human comprehension. It reveals a destiny in which humanity is invited to partake in the divine nature and inherit the Kingdom of God.

Summary

1. God is a collective entity, reproducing Himself by passing His divine image and authority to future generations.
2. Both the Father and the Son were once men, showing that humanity has the potential to ascend to divine status.
3. Jesus extends His invitation to all believers to share in His throne and divine nature, symbolising humanity’s ultimate destiny in God’s plan. (Psalm 8:4)
4. The promise is unimaginable, as stated in 1 Corinthians 2:9—a future beyond anything we can currently comprehend. This understanding reframes our relationship with God as one of divine potential, where love, faith, and perseverance open the door to an extraordinary inheritance in His Kingdom.

P15)

A Closer Look at Genesis 1:26

“And God said, ‘Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.’”

Interestingly, the “beast of the earth” is omitted from the list of dominion given to humanity. This omission is significant, as it symbolizes Satan and his domain, which mankind cannot subdue on their own.

Satan’s Role: The Beast of the Earth

The “Beast of the Earth” represents Satan and his influence over the world. Without divine intervention, Satan dominates, rules, and subdues humanity, sowing confusion, division, and destruction. His influence is seen in:

1. The creation of false religious ideologies to deceive and divide mankind.
2. The escalation of conflicts and wars, leading to tension and strife across the globe.

The chaotic state of the world is largely a result of Satan’s dominion, as mankind was not originally empowered to subdue him.

Christ’s Empowerment Over Satan

Christ came to give humanity the power to overcome Satan’s dominion. In Luke 10:18-19, Jesus says:

“I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.”

Through Christ, humanity is given the authority to trample upon Satan (symbolised by snakes and scorpions). This empowerment marks a shift, as mankind is no longer helpless in the face of Satan’s schemes.

The Second Coming of Christ

When Christ comes again, it will not be in his physical body. His glory is now so great that no mortal man can see his face and live, just as Moses could not look upon Yahweh's face directly (Exodus 33:20).

Instead, Christ will manifest through His spirit resting upon His church, which is described as the body of Christ. As Ephesians 1:22-23 explains:

“And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.”

Christ is the head, and the church is His body, which means that His presence and power will operate through His faithful followers.

Preparing for Christ’s Return

However, before this can happen, the church must surrender and submit fully to Christ’s Lordship. He will not force His way in but instead stands at the door and knocks, waiting for an invitation. As stated in Revelation 3:20:

“Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.”

To be empowered by Christ and become part of his plan to subdue Satan, the church as a whole must open its heart, surrender fully, and invite him to dwell within.

Summary

1. The omission of the “Beast of the Earth” in Genesis 1:26 highlights mankind’s inability to subdue Satan without divine help.
2. Satan’s dominion has caused chaos, division, and false religious ideas throughout history.
3. Through Christ, believers are empowered to overcome Satan’s influence.
4. Christ’s second coming will occur through his Spirit working in the church, his body.
5. The church must fully surrender to Christ’s Lordship and invite him in to experience this empowerment.

This paints a picture of God’s plan for humanity: to equip His people to overcome the darkness and establish His Kingdom on Earth, as they walk in unity with Christ.

P16) His purpose was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms. - Eph 3:10

For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. - 1 Cor 13:9-12 ("Then" will eventually come, it has arrived since 2013.)

Acts 3:20-23 – “Then wonderful times of refreshment will come from the presence of the Lord, and He will send Jesus your Messiah to you again. For He must remain in heaven until the time for the final restoration of all things, as God promised long ago through His prophets. Moses said, ‘The Lord your God will raise up a prophet like me from among your own people. Listen carefully to everything He tells you.’ Then Moses said, ‘Anyone who will not listen to that prophet will be cut off from God’s people and utterly destroyed.’”

For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive. But each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ’s at His coming. Then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power.  For He must reign till He has put all enemies under His feet. - 1 Cor 15:22-25

P17) CONCLUSION #6

Revelation 20:4 speaks of those who "lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years," which parallels the concept of the "firstfruits"—the first harvest that signifies what is to come. Jesus is the firstfruits, and at his second coming, his followers (they who follow his footsteps) will be his harvest, sharing in his reign for a thousand years. These followers, as part of the first resurrection, are called to be of the same quality as Jesus, not different or inferior to Him. As he is, so are we in this world (1 John 4:17).

Jesus' example is clear: He was not a clergy or a Pharisee, but a figure of compassion, justice, and equality. He stood up for the marginalised, lived selflessly, and was obedient to God even unto death. His life challenges us to embody these qualities. In Revelation 3:21, Jesus promises to allow those who overcome to sit with him on his throne. This reflects the idea that, like Jesus, we too are called to reign alongside him, as part of godhood.

How we live now shapes our future. The one overcoming, I will give to him to sit with me on my throne, as I also overcame and sat down with my Father on his throne. Rev 3:21

"For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works." (2 Cor 11:13-15) 

Notice that it all has to do with their works. Whether they bear the fruit of the Spirit, the Spirit of God, which is LOVE.

Our spirit lives on after death, and our actions in this life will determine how brightly we shine in the one to come. 

When you choose Love as according to the great commandant, to love your neighbour as yourself, you choose God. When you choose hate and self-righteousness, which is the exact embodiment of Satan as he is full of hate and self-righteousness, you choose to follow his footsteps. Just like the religious clergy of Jesus' days, the self-righteous Pharisees and Sadducees who thought they knew it all. (John 8:44)

In His great wisdom, God does not force His will on anyone. You get to choose your own destiny and bear your own consequence.

P18) You have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem. You have come to thousands upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly, to the church of the firstborn, whose names are written in heaven." Heb 12:22-23

This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. That number is 666. Rev 13:18

666 is a symbolic reference to the trinity. For 6 is the number of man. 666 = Man-Man-Man.

God is the one responsible for creating the gods of the heavens. But when the appointed time has come to reveal the most crucial things. When the true God reveals who She is, a greater reverence is demanded and expected. She finally revealed Herself. (She is a better pronoun to describe God here, liken to Mother Nature, which encompasses the entire universe, She birth forth creation including you and me in a never ending process.)

Is our reverence to the true God, who created all gods, and our worship to the true God above all gods, deserving of Her? What is the right response when you discovered that God created all gods and religions ,including the Trinity?

"Fear God and give Him glory, because the hour of His judgment has come. Worship the One who made the heavens and the earth and the sea and the springs of waters.” Rev 14:6

SEAL 7: In the book of revelation, there is this mystical dragon with 7 heads. Is that a representation of Lucifer?

Answer: Yes, and more than that. (Broken 29 November  2013)

P2) Before he was a man, Lucifer existed as the sea dragon named Leviathan (also know as Lotan) during the time of Job. The ancient serpent (Revelation 12:9; 20:2), is synonymous with the Leviathan, the fleeing serpent. In Isaiah 27:1, he is called the "tortuous serpent" who will be punished at the end of time.

"In that day the LORD will take His sharp, great, and mighty sword, and bring judgment on Leviathan, the fleeing serpent—Leviathan, the coiling serpent—and He will slay the dragon of the sea."

How does he get killed, judged or punished? The answer is found before the verse. 

Go, my people, enter your rooms and shut your doors behind you. Hide yourselves a little while until the wrath has passed. For behold, the LORD is coming out of His dwelling to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity. The earth will reveal her bloodshed and no longer conceal her slain. Isa 26:20-21

For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and you have given them blood to drink. It is what they deserve!” Rev 16:6

And there was found in her the blood of prophets and saints, and of all who had been slain on the earth. Rev 18:24

With the unveiling of the 7 seals, it has become clear that the church—and many religious establishments both before and after Christ—has wrongly accused and persecuted many innocent lives throughout history. It has also become evident that the woman in scarlet, the great Harlot described in the book of Revelation, is none other than the church.

P3) Q: Who will slay the dragon? How will he be slayed?

A: Poetically, he is slew by "foreigners" or "aliens", someone of a different "race", someone from the race of Adam. A "fire" broke out in "her" midst. Which is a picture of cleansing and purification. Which is also a picture of judgement. (See references below.)

Will you still say, ‘I am a god,’ in the presence of those who kill you, though you are but a man, and no god, in the hands of those who slay you? You shall die the death of the uncircumcised by the hand of foreigners; for I have spoken, declares the Lord God.” Eze 28:9-10

"So I brought fire out from your midst; it consumed you, and I turned you to ashes on the earth in the sight of all who saw you. All who know you among the peoples are appalled at you; you have come to a dreadful end and shall be no more forever.” Eze 28:18

P4) Sodom and Gomorrah is actually a picture of the church in the last days because they lusted after "strange flesh" and committed "fornication" with angels through worship. For this same reason, the entire Bible describes idolatry as adultery.

As Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them, in like manner to these, having given themselves to whoredom, and gone after other flesh (flesh of angels), have been set before -- an example, of fire age-during, justice suffering." (Young's Literal Translation) Jude 1:7

Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them, having in like manner with these given themselves over to fornication, and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the punishment of eternal fire. (English Revised Version) Jude 1:7
 

The fall of Babylon -- "‘Woe, woe, the great city, she who was clothed in fine linen and purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls; for in one hour such great wealth has been laid waste!’ And every shipmaster and every passenger and sailor, and as many as make their living by the sea, stood at a distance, and were crying out as they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, ‘What city is like the great city?" Rev 18:16

Babylon, the jewel of kingdoms, the pride and glory of the Babylonians, will be overthrown by God like Sodom and Gomorrah. Isa 13:19

The vision of Isaiah son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem... Your country lies desolate, your cities are burned with fire; in your very presence aliens devour your land; it is desolate, as overthrown by foreigners. And daughter Zion is left like a booth in a vineyard, like a shelter in a cucumber field, like a besieged city. If the Lord of hosts had not left us a few survivors, we would have been like Sodom, and become like Gomorrah. Hear the word of the Lord, you rulers of Sodom! Listen to the teaching of our God, you people of Gomorrah! (Isa 1:1, 7-10)

P5) CONCLUSION #7

The revealing of the 7 Seals represents the act of overcoming the deception of the dragon, who has misled the entire world. As truths are revealed, the lies are dismantled.

The 7 Seals in Summary:

1. The Bible has been compromised.
2. There is no hell. Religion is not the answer—love is the way.
3. Adam and Eve were not the first humans on earth.
4. The Anti-Christ is a notorious persecutor, with two key figures in the last days.
5. Homosexuality is not a sin; homophobia is the real sin.
6. The Trinity is not God. God (and humans) have created gods.
7. Leviathan represents Satan. Satan, as the twisting serpent, is the Father of lies and deception, creating false religions and conflicts that encourage wars and violence instead of love.

When the seventh seal is opened, there is a silence in heaven (Revelation 8:1), signifying the profound shift. As Hebrews 12:26-28 states, "Once more I will shake not only the earth, but heaven as well," emphasizing the removal of the shakable so that the unshakable remains. We are receiving an unshakable kingdom, one that calls for reverence and gratitude.

No single religion holds all the truths; each contains fragments, containing both truths and errors.
