These words dedicated to the last of the flock.
And other sheep I have which are not of this fold;
them also I must bring and they will hear My voice;
and there will be one flock and one shepherd

The Son Will Rise on the East
Completed January 22, 2010
Then he led me to the gate,

the gate facing toward the east;
and behold, the glory of the God of
Israel was coming from the way of the east.
And His voice was like the sound of many waters;
and the earth shone with His glory. And it was like
the appearance of the vision which I saw, like
the vision which I saw when He came to
destroy the city. And the visions were
like the vision which
I saw by the river Chebar;
and I fell on my face. And the glory of the LORD
came into the house by the way of the gate facing toward the east.
And the Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner
court; and behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house.
Ezekiel 43:1-5
East is derived from the Greek root ἀνατολή which means

“arisen”. And both knowledge and truth have arisen from the
East. For many of God’s children have spread to the East.
For as God promised to the forefathers, “I am the LORD, the
God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac; the land on
which you lie, I will give it to you and to your descendants.
1
Your descendants will also be like the dust of the earth, and
you will spread out to the west and to the east and to the north
and to the south; and in you and in your descendants shall all
the families of the earth be blessed.” (Genesis 28:13-14)
And many truths have been enlightened by the philosophies of

the East. For philosophy is derived from the Latin roots phil
which means “love” and sophia which means “wisdom and
understanding”. Thus philosophy is the love of wisdom and
understanding. For the philosophers of the East have sought
for wisdom and understanding. But the antithesis of wisdom
and understanding is ignorance. And many Western
philosophers have ignored the philosophies of the East. But
“what you worship in ignorance, this I proclaim to you. ‘The
God who made the world and all things in it, since He is Lord
of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with
hands; nor is He served by human hands, as though He needed
anything, since He Himself gives to all people life and breath
and all things; and He made from one man every nation of
mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined
their appointed times and the boundaries of their habitation,
that they would seek God, if perhaps they might grope for
Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us;
for in Him we live and move and exist , as even some of your
own poets have said, ‘For we also are His children.’” (Acts
17:23-28)
And in ignorance, the philosophers of the East have denied

that Christ is the Son of God. For by the Son descending and
dwelling amongst men, we too can be called sons of the living
God. “Being then the children of God, we ought not to think
2
that the Divine Nature is like gold or silver or stone, an image
formed by the art and thought of man. Therefore having
overlooked the times of ignorance, God is now declaring to
men that all people everywhere should repent, because He has
fixed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness
through a Man whom He has appointed, having furnished
proof to all men by raising Him from the dead.” (Acts 17:29-
31)
And in truth, Eastern philosophies speak of the cycle of

rebirth. For as they profess, “to be born here and to die here,
to die here and to be born elsewhere, to be born there and to
die there, to die there and to be born elsewhere that is the
round of existence.” (Buddhist text) And the Son in truth
spoke of the cycle of rebirth. For as the Son testified, “Truly,
truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit he
cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of
the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Do not be amazed that I said to you, 'You must be born
again.'” (John 3:5-7) Yet the East fails to recognize that
Christ has risen from the dead. “But now Christ is risen from
the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have
fallen asleep. For since by man came death, by Man also
came the resurrection of the dead.” (1 Corinthians 15:20-21)
And now His firstfruits have risen from the dead. For as the
prophecy says, “behold, I will open your graves and cause you
to come up out of your graves, My people; and I will bring
you into the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the
LORD, when I have opened your graves and caused you to
come up out of your graves, My people. I will put My Spirit
3
within you and you will come to life, and I will place you on
your own land. Then you will know that I, the LORD, have
spoken and done it,’ declares the LORD.” (Ezekiel 37:12-14)
But the cycle of rebirth shall soon end, for as all men have
died, so shall all men be made alive in Christ. “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.” (1
Corinthians 15:22-24) And reincarnation is derived from the
Latin root incarnationem which means “to become flesh”.
And the Word came to earth and would dwell in the flesh. For
“the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His
glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of
grace and truth.” (John 1:14) But the flesh ultimately
leads to death. And through Christ’s death in the flesh, now
we can live with peace in the Spirit. “For the law of the Spirit
of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and
of death. For what the Law could not do, weak as it was
through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in the
likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He
condemned sin in the flesh, so that the requirement of the Law
might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the
flesh but according to the Spirit. For those who are according
to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those
who are according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For the
mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is
life and peace.” (Romans 8:2-6)
4
But although the flesh must die, the spirit can now live
forever. And at the last trumpet the trumpet shall sound, and
death shall be swallowed for all time. For “we shall not all
sleep, but we shall all be changed-- in a moment, in the
twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will
sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall
be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and
this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible
has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on
immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is
written:
Death is swallowed up in victory.

O Death, where is your sting?
O Hades, where is your victory?
The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the

law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through
our Lord Jesus Christ.” (1 Corinthians 15:51-57)

I
On Eastern Philosophy
Eastern philosophy includes and often incorporates the

various philosophies of the East, which include the Chinese,
Indian, Iranian, and Japanese philosophies. And Eastern
philosophy is founded upon three distinct philosophical
traditions: the Chinese, Indian, as well as the Persian
philosophies. And although these philosophies lack the
Abrahamic heritage of the Judeo-Christian and Islamic
philosophies, they do contain many ideologies which yield
great truths. For the Truth comes from the Word of God, and
it is wrong for any man to claim to know all truths. “For not
from the east, nor from the west, nor from the desert comes
exaltation; but God is the Judge; He puts down one and exalts
another.” (Psalms 75:6-7)
And one distinct feature of Eastern philosophy is its emphasis

on the continuity of the spirit, for spirituality exists in our
religious as well as our secular life. For it recognizes that our
entire daily life involves our entire relationship with God. For
as Christ taught us, we must take up our cross each and every
day. For “if anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny
himself, and take up his cross daily and follow Me. For
whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses
his life for My sake, he is the one who will save it.” (Luke
9:23-24) For there is no designated time nor place to worship
God. For His people were taught to worship God at every
6
time and at every place. For “the first of all the
commandments is: ‘Hear, O Israel, the LORD our God, the
LORD is one. And you shall love the LORD your God with all
your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all
your strength.’ This is the first commandment.” (Mark 12:29-
30)
And another distinguishing feature of Eastern philosophy is its

understanding of reincarnation, the process of one’s soul being
transferred following death into rebirth. For literally
reincarnation means “to be made into flesh again”. And it is
true that all men are born in the flesh, and all men must die in
the flesh. And although all men are born and die in the flesh,
no man can enter heaven unless he is reborn in the Spirit. For
as the disciples were taught, “truly, truly, I say to you, unless
one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the
kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and
that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not be amazed that
I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’” (John 3:5-7) But few
men have chosen to be born again in the Spirit. For "the wind
blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not
know where it comes from and where it is going; so is
everyone who is born of the Spirit." (John 3:8) For the cost of
being born in the Spirit is to die to the flesh. But the reward of
dying in the flesh is to be reborn in the Spirit. For as it was
foretold of those who were born in the Spirit, “then I saw
thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to
them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded
because of their testimony of Jesus and because of the word of
God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or his image,
7
and had not received the mark on their forehead and on their
hand; and they came to life and reigned with Christ for a
thousand years. The rest of the dead did not come to life until
the thousand years were completed. This is the first
resurrection. Blessed and holy is the one who has a part in the
first resurrection; over these the second death has no power,
but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign
with Him for a thousand years.” (Revelation 20:4-6) Thus,
those who have died and were born in the Spirit, would be
reborn in the Spirit. And they would reign in the heavens
with the Son. But those who have worshipped Satan and have
taken his mark, they would be condemned in hell. And now
that the years are complete and the end draws near, all souls
have been reincarnated to face the last judgment.
Yet the truth of reincarnation was abolished and declared

heresy by the papacy for obvious financial gain. For much of
the church’s wealth came from plenary indulgences, the sale
of dispensations that would absolve their patrons of their debts
in “purgatory”. For the Catholic church invented “purgatory”
as a place of “purification, so as to achieve the holiness
necessary to enter the joy of heaven, which is experienced by
those who die in God’s grace and friendship, but are still
imperfectly purified”. (Catechism of the Catholic Church
1030) And the Council of Trent would pronounce an
“anathema against those who either declare indulgences to be
useless or deny that the Church has the power to grant them.”
(Catholic Encyclopedia, vii, pp. 783-4) For as Pope Leo X
acknowledged of the papacy's indulgences, “since God has
been pleased to give us the Papacy, let us enjoy it.”
8
Another distinguishing feature of Eastern philosophy is the
understanding that the individual is an active participant of the
universe. In other words, the individual is integrated into the
whole universe which is objectively held to be one. Thus,
Eastern philosophy interprets the universe subjectively as a
participant, rather than objectively as an observer. And we as
His servants are commanded to participate with God in the
same way. For the Son is One with the Father, as He
testified “I and the Father are one.” (John 10:30) And He
came down to earth as a participant, to perfect our union with
God. For as He said, “the glory which You have given Me I
have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one; I
in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so
that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them,
even as You have loved Me.” (John 17:22-23) And through
the Holy Spirit, the unity of the body of Christ is
complete. “For even as the body is one and yet has many
members, and all the members of the body, though they are
many, are one body, so also is Christ. For by one Spirit we
were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks,
whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one
Spirit.” (1 Corinthians 12:12-13) And although the division of
mankind remains great, at the end all of mankind shall be one.
For as the prophecy foretells, “behold, the tabernacle of God is
among men, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be
His people, and God Himself will be among them, and He will
wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer
be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying,
or pain; the first things have passed away.” (Revelation 21:3-
4)

Dharma - the Law
The Hindu philosophy has no single founder, and has no

single book as a reference for their beliefs. And in fact, the
word "Hindu" was not recognized until the 18th century. For
"Hindu" was the Persian name used for the Indus River. And
the modern term of Hindu refers to its citizens, who live on the
Indian subcontinent of the Indus River, and adhere to the
Hindu philosophy of life.
The Hindu philosophy blends their spiritual and secular life,

which includes daily activities such as singing, dancing, and
eating. And one prominent feature of Hindu philosophy is the
philosophy of Dharma. For as is defined of Dharma, “the
word Dharma is derived from the root DHR- to hold- and its
etymological meaning is ‘that which holds’ this world, or the
people of the world, or the whole creation from the microcosm
to the macrocosm. It is the eternal Divine Law of the Lord.
The entire creation is held together and sustained by the All-
powerful Law of God. Practice of Dharma, therefore, means
recognition of this Law and abidance by it.” (Swami
Shivanada)
And the Lord gave the Law to His witness to give to the
people. For "the LORD said to Moses, 'Come up to Me on the
mountain and remain there, and I will give you the stone
11
tablets with the law and the commandment which I have
written for their instruction.'" (Exodus 24:12) And the Son
would validate the Law and its commandments. For as He
testified, "do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the
Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill." (Matthew
5:17) And the Son would validate the Law, "in everything,
therefore, treat people the same way you want them to treat
you, for this is the Law and the Prophets." (Matthew 7:12)
And Dharma refers to that which holds this world and

mankind together. For as the Hindu text Atharva Veda
describes allegorically of Dharma Prithivim Dharmana
dhritam, which means "this world is upheld by Dharma".
And it was foretold that this world would be upheld by the
Law. "'For behold, the day is coming, burning like a furnace;
and all the arrogant and every evildoer will be chaff; and the
day that is coming will set them ablaze,' says the LORD of
hosts, 'so that it will leave them neither root nor branch. But
for you who fear My name, the sun of righteousness will rise
with healing in its wings; and you will go forth and skip about
like calves from the stall. You will tread down the wicked, for
they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day
which I am preparing,' says the LORD of hosts. 'Remember the
law of Moses My servant, even the statutes and ordinances
which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel.'" (Malachi
4:1-4) And the Father has upheld the Law through the Son.
"Behold, My Servant, whom I uphold; My chosen one in
whom My soul delights. I have put My Spirit upon Him; He
will bring forth justice to the nations." (Isaiah 42:1) And the
Son and the Spirit shall uphold the Law at the end. "For truly I
12
say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest
letter or stroke shall pass from the Law until all is
accomplished." (Matthew 5:18)
But Dharma does not condemn nor forsake any man. For
Dharma is needed in order to nurture and sustain him. For
"Dharma is that which nurtures the subjects and in turn the
society." (Mahabharat 12.109.11) And as Moses taught the
people of the Law, "the LORD your God will prosper you
abundantly in all the work of your hand, in the offspring of
your body and in the offspring of your cattle and in the
produce of your ground, for the LORD will again rejoice over
you for good, just as He rejoiced over your fathers; if you
obey the LORD your God to keep His commandments and His
statutes which are written in this book of the law, if you turn
to the LORD your God with all your heart and soul."
(Deuteronomy 30:9-10)
And the goal of Dharma is to allow for the improvement of

mankind. For "the sole aim with which Dharma is advocated
is to bring about the evolution of living beings. A doctrine
preaches that that which is able to bring about evolution is
Dharma." (Mahabharat 12.109.10) And the Law of the Lord
allows for the improvement of mankind. For the Law restores
men's souls and makes most men wise. For "the law of the
LORD is perfect, restoring the soul; the testimony of the LORD
is sure, making wise the simple." (Psalms 19:7) And the Law
allows all men to live. For "if Your law had not been my
delight, then I would have perished in my affliction. I will
never forget Your precepts, for by them You have revived
me." (Psalms 119:92-93) And the Law grants those who obey
13
it great peace. For "those who love Your law have great
peace, and nothing causes them to stumble." (Psalms 119:165)
For the Law is righteousness and truth. For "your
righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and Your law is
truth." (Psalms 119:142) And it was through the Son that the
Law was perfected. "For the Law was given through Moses;
grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ." (John
1:17) And it is through Christ that the law of righteousness
ends. "For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to
everyone who believes." (Romans 10:4)
And Dharma can be summarized by one word: compassion.

For "compassion itself is ultimate Dharma". (Mahabharat
3.373.76) For the Law was not intended to judge man, but
was written to teach man of compassion. "Or have you not
read in the Law, that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple
break the Sabbath and are innocent? But I say to you that
something greater than the temple is here. But if you had
known what this means, 'I DESIRE COMPASSION, AND NOT A
SACRIFICE' you would not have condemned the innocent."
(Matthew 12:5-7) And as the young ruler asked of our Lord,
'Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?' And
He said to him, 'YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH
ALL YOUR HEART, YOUR SOUL, AND YOUR MIND. This is the
great and foremost commandment. The second is like it, 'YOU
SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.' On these two
commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets."
(Matthew 22:36-40) And as Christ would teach them on the
law of compassion, "in everything, therefore, treat people the
same way you want them to treat you, for this is the Law and
14
the Prophets." (Matthew 7:12) For it was by the Lord's
compassion that He gave us His only Son. And it is through
His compassion that His Son shall return. And "'it will come
about in that day that I will respond,' declares the LORD. 'I will
respond to the heavens, and they will respond to the earth, and
the earth will respond to the grain, to the new wine and to the
oil, and they will respond to Jezreel. I will sow her for Myself
in the land. I will also have compassion on her who had not
obtained compassion, and I will say to those who were not My
people, 'You are My people!' and they will say, 'You are my
God!'" (Hosea 2:21-23)

III
Atman - The Spirit
Completed February 26, 2010
The atman is the Hindu philosophical term which means

man's "spirit". For atman is at the core of every man, and in
translation literally means "I am". For in the Upanishad texts,
atman is defined as "tat svam asi", which means "atman is
what you are." (Chandogya Upanishad VI.8.4) And its
derivation comes from the Sanskirt root ātman which means
"breath". And it was through the breath of the Spirit, that the
first man was brought to life. "And the LORD God formed
man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils
the breath of life; and man became a living being." (Genesis
2:7)
And this creationist concept of atman implies that the

individual is a microcosm of the whole. For atman refers to
the individual spirit as a microcosm of the universal spirit of
Atman. For the term Atman refers to the "universal spirit" of
all of creation. And the universal spirit of all of creation is the
Spirit of God. For "in the beginning God created the heavens
and the earth. The earth was formless and void, and darkness
was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was
moving over the surface of the waters." (Genesis 1:1-2) And it
is through the Spirit of God that man was given life. For "the
Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty
gives me life." (Job 33:4) And the Spirit of God dwells in
16
man, while he still has life and breath. "For as the LORD said,
'My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, because he also is
flesh; nevertheless his days shall be one hundred and twenty
years." (Genesis 6:3) Thus, the Spirit is the one who gives us
life. And as the Spirit gives the spirit of life, so can the Spirit
take away the spirit of life. For "You take away their spirit,
they expire and return to their dust. You send forth Your
Spirit, they are created". (Psalms 104:29-30)
But our atman exists in opposition with our ego (ahamkar),

which is produced by our own selfish pride. And this dual
nature of our self, atman and ahamkar, in error gives way to
our pride. For it is our pride that separate us from oneness
with the Spirit. For "there are two selves, the separate ego and
the indivisible Atman. When one rises above I, me and mine,
the Atman reveals itself as the real Self." (Katha
Upanishad) For our ego is separated from God by the
boastful pride of our flesh. "For all that is in the world, the
lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride
of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world." (1 John
2:16) And man was first separated from God by wanting to
be like God. For as "the serpent said to the woman, 'You
surely will not die! For God knows that in the day you eat
from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God,
knowing good and evil.'" (Genesis 3:4-5) And man's pride to
this day continues to damn him. For as it was foretold of
man's sinful pride, "your heart will become proud and you will
forget the LORD your God who brought you out from the land
of Egypt, out of the house of slavery." (Deuteronomy 8:14)
And no man's ego shall be beholden, for only One shall be
17
exalted on that day. For "the pride of man will be humbled
and the loftiness of men will be abased; and the LORD alone
will be exalted in that day." (Isaiah 2:17)
And through this struggle of atman versus ego, the atman

remains elusive and hidden. "For the self cannot be known
through the study of scriptures, nor through the intellect, nor
through hearing learned discourses. It can be chosen only by
those whom the Self chooses." (Katha Upanishad) And it was
through the choice of Christ, that His Elect would be chosen.
For as he said "you did not choose Me but I chose you, and
appointed you that you would go and bear fruit, and that your
fruit would remain, so that whatever you ask of the Father in
My name He may give to you." (John 15:16) For the Spirit
was revealed by the Light. "The same was in the beginning
with God. All things were made by him; and without him was
not anything made that was made. In him was life; and the
life was the light of men." (John 1:2-4) For as the Son
confirmed "I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me
will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life."
(John 8:12) And it is through the Holy Spirit that we are now
One with God.. For "you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit,
if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does
not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him. If
Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet
the spirit is alive because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of
Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who
raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your
mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you." (Romans
8:9-11) And it is only by denying our pride, and following
18
Christ's path that our atman can be known. For as He said, "if
anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and
take up his cross and follow Me. For whoever wishes to save
his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake will
find it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole
world and forfeits his soul? Or what will a man give in
exchange for his soul?" (Matthew 16:24-26) And now is the
time that all men have been called. And "now may the God of
peace Himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and
soul and body be preserved complete, without blame at the
coming of our Lord Jesus Christ." (1 Thessalonians 5:23)

Brahman - the Father
Completed March 4, 2010
And all things come from and return to the Father. And the
Hindu philosophical term is that all things come from
Brahman, the One who creates and sustains all things. And
the Father is the Creator who created all things. And "in the
beginning God created the heavens and the earth." (Genesis
1:1) And the Father is the One who created man in His own
image. "God created man in His own image, in the image of
God He created him; male and female He created them."
(Genesis 1:27) And the Father is the One who sustains our
souls. For "behold, God is my helper; the Lord is the sustainer
of my soul." (Psalms 54:4)
And Brahman is derived from the Sanskirt root brahma which

means "prayer". And the Son taught us how to pray to the
Father. As "He said to them, 'When you pray, say: Our Father
in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come.
Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us day by
day our daily bread. And forgive us our sins, for we also
forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And do not lead us
into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one." (Luke 11:2-
4) And as it was prophesied, His kingdom shall be a place of
prayer for all people. "Also the foreigners who join
themselves to the LORD, to minister to Him, and to love the
name of the LORD, to be His servants, everyone who keeps
from profaning the sabbath and holds fast My covenant; even
20
those I will bring to My holy mountain and make them joyful
in My house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and their
sacrifices will be acceptable on My altar; for My house will be
called a house of prayer for all the peoples." (Isaiah 56:6-7)
And Brahman is infinite and beyond all comprehension. For

"that supreme Brahman is infinite, and this conditioned
Brahman is infinite. The infinite proceeds from infinite. Then
through knowledge, realizing the infinitude of the infinite, it
remains as infinite alone." (Mundaka Upanishad) And the
power of the Father is infinite. For "He counts the number of
the stars; He gives names to all of them. Great is our Lord and
abundant in strength; His understanding is infinite." (Psalms
147:4-5) And the heavens and the earth are ruled by His
infinite power. For "the pillars of heaven tremble and are
amazed at His rebuke. He quieted the sea with His power, and
by His understanding He shattered Rahab. By His breath the
heavens are cleared; His hand has pierced the fleeing serpent.
Behold, these are the fringes of His ways; and how faint a
word we hear of Him! But His mighty thunder, who can
understand?" (Job 26:11-14) And the Father gave us His Son
that we may know of His infinite love. "For God so loved the
world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever
believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life." (John
3:16)
And the derivative of Brahman is BRH- which means "to

create". And Brahman created all things in the past, present,
and future. For "I know everything that has happened in the
past, all that is happening in the present, and all things that are
yet to come. I also know all living entities; but Me no one
21
knows." (Bhagavad Gita 7:26) And at the beginning, the
Father created all things. For "in the beginning God created
the heavens and the earth." (Genesis 1:1) And in the present,
the Father sustains all things. For "do you not know? Have
you not heard? The Everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of
the ends of the earth does not become weary or tired. His
understanding is inscrutable." (Isaiah 40:28) And at the end,
the Father shall reveal all things that will be. For "the angel
whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land raised up his
hand to heaven and swore by Him who lives forever and ever,
who created heaven and the things that are in it, the earth and
the things that are in it, and the sea and the things that are in it,
that there should be delay no longer, but in the days of the
sounding of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, the
mystery of God would be finished, as He declared to His
servants the prophets." (Revelation 10:5-7)
And Brahman is silent for His name means silence. For as the
student inquired of his master "'Sir,' said a student to his
master, 'teach me the nature of Brahman.' The master did not
reply. When he was asked a second and a third time, he
replied: 'I teach you, but you do not listen. His name is
silence.'" (Samkara Upanishad) And as Moses warned the
people, "be silent and listen, O Israel! This day you have
become a people for the LORD your God. You shall therefore
obey the LORD your God, and do His commandments and His
statutes which I command you today." (Deuteronomy 27:9-10)
And His Son was sacrificed in silence for our sins. "He was
led as a sheep to the slaughter; and as a lamb before its shearer
is silent, so He opened not His mouth. In His humiliation His
22
justice was taken away, and who will declare His generation?
For His life is taken from the earth." (Acts 8:32-33) And the
day draws near when all men shall be silent. "Be silent before
the Lord GOD! For the day of the LORD is near, for the LORD
has prepared a sacrifice, He has consecrated His guests."
(Zephaniah 1:7)
And Brahman is complete and whole in itself. For "in the

beginning this world was only Brahman, and it knew only
itself thinking: 'I am Brahman.' As a result it became the
Whole." (Brhadaranyaka Upanishad 1.4.10) And in the
beginning, there was only God. For "in the beginning was the
Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was
God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into
being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into
being that has come into being." (John 1:1-3) And as God
Himself would confirm, His name is complete. For "I am who
I am". For as "Moses said to God, 'Behold, I am going to the
sons of Israel, and I will say to them, 'The God of your fathers
has sent me to you.' Now they may say to me, 'What is His
name?' What shall I say to them?' God said to Moses, 'I AM
WHO I AM'; and He said, 'Thus you shall say to the sons of
Israel, 'I AM has sent me to you.''" (Exodus 3:13-14) And
now we profess that God Himself is the Creator of all. "Know
that the LORD Himself is God; It is He who has made us, and
not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His
pasture." (Psalms 100:3)

Satya - The Son is Truth
Truth alone triumphs, not untruth.

The path of truth leads to Godliness.
Sages having their desires fulfilled,
ascend to the realm of the supreme treasure of truth.
Mundaka Upwanishad III.1.6
Satya is the Hindu philosophical term which means "truth".

For as it is defined in the Sanskrit verse, sate hitam satyam,
which means "satya is the way to ultimate truth". And the
Son is the way to ultimate truth. For the Son is the Word, and
the Word is the Truth. For "the Word became flesh, and dwelt
among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten
from the Father, full of grace and truth... For the Law was
given through Moses; grace and truth were realized through
Jesus Christ. No one has seen God at any time; the only
begotten God who is in the bosom of the Father, He has
explained Him." (John 1:14-18) And as the Son testified, "I
am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the
Father but through Me." (John 14:6) For the Son has
sanctified His disciples in truth, as He asked of the Father,
"sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth. As You sent
Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. For
24
their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they themselves also may be
sanctified in truth." (John 17:17-19) And on that day His city
shall be the City of Truth. "Thus says the LORD, 'I will return
to Zion and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. Then
Jerusalem will be called the City of Truth, and the mountain
of the LORD of hosts will be called the Holy Mountain.'"
(Zechariah 8:3)
And satya is derived from the root word sat which means "to
exist for eternity". And the Word of God existed at the
beginning. For "in the beginning was the Word, and the Word
was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the
beginning with God." (John 1:1-2) And the Son shall reign on
His throne forever. For "Your throne, O God, is forever and
ever; a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your
Kingdom. You have loved righteousness and hated
lawlessness; therefore God, Your God, has anointed You with
the oil of gladness more than Your companions." (Hebrews
1:8-10) For His existence from the beginning remains always
the same. "You, LORD, in the beginning laid the foundation of
the earth, and the heavens are the work of Your hands. They
will perish, but You remain; and they will all grow old like a
garment; like a cloak You will fold them up, and they will be
changed." (Hebrews 1:10-11) And the Son shall be the same
for all of eternity. "But You are the same, and Your years will
not fail." (Hebrews 1:10-12) And by believing in the Son, we
also shall inherit eternal life. For "he who believes in the Son
has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see
life, but the wrath of God abides on him." (John 3:3)
25
And satya means the sun which is light. "Now, that which is
Satya is the sun—the being who dwells in yonder orb and the
being who is in the right eye. These two rest on each other."
(Brihadaranyaka Upanishad I.5.2) And God gave mankind the
orb of the sun, so that he would have light. "Then God said,
“Let great lights appear in the sky to separate the day from the
night. Let them mark off the seasons, days, and years. Let
these lights in the sky shine down on the earth. And that is
what happened. God made two great lights, the sun and the
moon—the larger one to govern the day, and the smaller one
to govern the night. He also made the stars. God set these
lights in the sky to light the earth, to govern the day and night,
and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that
it was good." (Genesis 1:14-18) And the Father sent us the
Son and He was the Light. "For God did not send the Son
into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be
saved through Him. He who believes in Him is not judged; he
who does not believe has been judged already, because he has
not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world,
and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their
deeds were evil. For everyone who does evil hates the Light,
and does not come to the Light for fear that his deeds will be
exposed. But he who practices the truth comes to the Light, so
that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought in
God." (John 3:17-21)
And Satya is the truth in words, as Dharma is the truth in deed.

For as the Hindu verse says, satyamiti yathasastrarthata sa
eva anusthiyamanah dharmanama bhavati, which means
26
"satya is truth in words and dharma is truth in deed."
(Taithriya Upanishad) And the Son came as the truth in Word
to fulfill the Law in deed. For as the Word said, "do not
think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not
come to abolish but to fulfill. For truly I say to you, until
heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke
shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished." (Matthew
5:17-18) And Dharma instructs that our deeds should be done
through compassion. And as the Son instructed us of our
deeds, "in everything, therefore, treat people the same way
you want them to treat you, for this is the Law and the
Prophets." (Matthew 7:12)
But most importantly satya means "near to God". For the

Sanskirt verse says sate hitam satyam, which means "that
which brings you nearer to God is satya". And the priests
brought men closer to God, for only they were allowed to
come near the covenant. "So you shall appoint Aaron and his
sons that they may keep their priesthood, but the layman who
comes near shall be put to death." (Numbers 3:10) And
through the priesthood of Christ, all men may draw closer to
God. For "Jesus has become the guarantee of a better
covenant. The former priests, on the one hand, existed in
greater numbers because they were prevented by death from
continuing, but Jesus, on the other hand, because He continues
forever, holds His priesthood permanently. Therefore He is
able also to save forever those who draw near to God through
Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them."
(Hebrews 7:22-25)
27
And this verse is commonly interpreted as "satya is the love
which brings you nearer to God". For it is through the
sacrificial love of the Son, that we have been brought closer to
God. "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only
begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish,
but have eternal life. For God did not send the Son into the
world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved
through Him." (John 3:16-17) For God so loved the world,
that He was sacrificed as a propitiation for our sins. And "by
this the love of God was manifested in us, that God has sent
His only begotten Son into the world so that we might live
through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that
He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our
sins." (1 John 4:9-10) And through His love, those who were
far may now draw near. For "now in Christ Jesus you who
formerly were far off have been brought near by the blood of
Christ." (Ephesians 2:13) And by His example, the Son taught
all men how to love. "This is My commandment, that you
love one another, just as I have loved you." (John 15:12) And
by His servitude and love, He taught us a greater love. For
"you have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor
and hate your enemy.' But I say to you, love your enemies,
bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and
pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that
you may be sons of your Father in heaven." (Matthew 5:43-
45) And by His sacrificial love on the cross, He taught us the
greatest love of all. For "greater love has no one than this, that
one lay down his life for his friends." (John 15:13)
28
Greater love has no one than this,
that One lay down His life for His
enemies.

Karma - An Image in the Mirror
Karma is the classic Hindu philosophical understanding that

every component of our life is a fair and equitable
consequence of our own moral choices. Therefore, it expounds
on the law that every action has an equal and opposite
reaction. And this law of Karma is consistent with the
Newtonian law of physics which we have emboldened. For as
it states, "for every action has a reaction equal in magnitude
and opposite in direction". (Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia
Mathematica, Sir Isaac Newton's Third Law of Motion) And
this ideology is succinctly summarized by the Hindu verse,
"God does not make one suffer for no reason nor does He
make one happy for no reason. God is very fair and gives you
exactly what you deserve." (Bhagavad Gita) And Judeo
Christianity upholds this same ideology of justice, for "a just
balance and scales belong to the LORD; all the weights of the
bag are His concern." (Proverbs 16:11)
And karma was established from the beginning, for in the

beginning all things were zeroed and balanced. For "in the
beginning was only Being, One without a second. Out of
himself he brought forth the cosmos. And entered into
everything in it. There is nothing that does not come from
him. Of everything he is the inmost Self. He is the truth; he is
the Self supreme." (Chandogya Upanishad) And karma shall
30
be enforced at the end. For at the end, all things shall be
zeroed and balanced. "See my sovereign technique: creatures
both in me and not in me. Supporting beings, my person
brings beings to life, without living in them. I am omnipresent
as the storm wind which resides in space. All beings exist in
me. Remember that. All creatures enter into my nature at the
end of an eon". (Bhagavad Gita) For the end was established
when the beginning began. For as God disclosed, "I am God,
and there is no other; I am God, and there is no one like Me,
declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times
things which have not been done, saying, 'My purpose will be
established, and I will accomplish all My good pleasure.'"
(Isaiah 46:9-10)
And karma is one. Yet it is the division of one into two.

"Two from one! This is the root of suffering. Only perceive
that I am one without two, pure awareness, pure joy, and all
the world is false. There is no other remedy!" (Ashtavakra
Gita) For the division first began in the Garden. For it was
from the division of man into two, that mankind's separation
first began. For the first man was divided into Adam and Eve,
and mankind was divided into male and female. For
knowledge was divided into good and evil, and man's
existence was divided into life and death. For "the LORD God
commanded the man, saying, 'From any tree of the garden you
may eat freely; but from the tree of the knowledge of good and
evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you
will surely die.' Then the LORD God said, 'It is not good for the
man to be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him.'
The LORD God fashioned into a woman the rib which He had
31
taken from the man, and brought her to the man. The man
said, "This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh;
she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of
Man." (Genesis 2:16-23)
And mankind has struggled to make two into one. For man has
struggled to make one flesh. For "have you not read that He
who made them at the beginning 'made them male and
female,' and said, 'For this reason a man shall leave his father
and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall
become one flesh'? So then, they are no longer two but one
flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man
separate." (Matthew 19:4-6) And man has struggled to form
one heart and one spirit. "For I will give them one heart, and
put a new spirit within them. And I will take the heart of stone
out of their flesh and give them a heart of flesh, that they may
walk in My statutes and keep My ordinances and do them.
Then they will be My people, and I shall be their God."
(Ezekiel 11:19-20)
And karma is derived from the Sanskrit root karman which

means "action" or "deed". For karma is a result of our
actions and deeds. For the disciples were reminded to prepare
their minds for action. "Therefore, prepare your minds for
action, keep sober in spirit, fix your hope completely on the
grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ." (1
Peter 1:13) And the disciples perfected their faith through
their deeds. For "faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by
action, is dead. But someone will say, 'You have faith; I have
deeds.' Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show
you my faith by what I do." (James 2:17-18) But the people
32
dealt with God treacherously through their actions. For the
people would rebel with treacherous deeds. For "they tempted
and rebelled against the Most High God and did not keep His
testimonies, but turned back and acted treacherously like their
fathers; they turned aside like a treacherous bow." (Psalms
78:56-57) Thus each man shall be judged by his actions and
deeds. For "God will judge both the righteous man and the
wicked man, for a time for every matter and for every deed is
there." (Ecclesiastes 3:17)
And what is karma, but God's just response to our actions.

And on that day, the Lord shall respond justly to every man's
deeds. "'It will come about in that day that I will respond,'
declares the LORD. 'I will respond to the heavens, and they
will respond to the earth, and the earth will respond to the
grain, to the new wine and to the oil, and they will respond to
Jezreel." (Hosea 2:21-22) And man's sinfulness shall be met
with great retribution. For "vengeance is Mine, and
retribution, in due time their foot will slip; for the day of their
calamity is near, and the impending things are hastening upon
them." (Deuteronomy 32:35) But man's righteous actions
shall be rewarded with honor and glory. For "the nations will
see your righteousness, and all kings your glory; and you will
be called by a new name which the mouth of the LORD will
designate. You will also be a crown of beauty in the hand of
the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of your God."
(Isaiah 62:2-3)
For this world is an image of God, who is One and complete.

For when karma is complete, the reflection and its source shall
be one. For "an object has a reflection: When looking we see
33
two images, yet there is only one thing. Likewise, this world is
a reflection of the Supreme Lord. We may see two, yet only
One exists." (Jnaneshwar) For man was created in the image
of God. For "God created man in His own image, in the
image of God He created him; male and female He created
them." (Genesis 1:27) And when we look at God and
mankind, we may see two, yet there is just One. For we are
the reflection of God. And at the end, God and mankind shall
be One. "Then he showed me a river of the water of life, clear
as crystal, coming from the throne of God and of the Lamb, in
the middle of its street. On either side of the river was the tree
of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit every
month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the
nations. There will no longer be any curse; and the throne of
God and of the Lamb will be in it, and His bond-servants will
serve Him; they will see His face, and His name will be on
their foreheads. And there will no longer be any night; and
they will not have need of the light of a lamp nor the light of
the sun, because the Lord God will illumine them; and they
will reign forever and ever." (Revelation 22:1-5)
34
For now we see in a mirror dimly,
but then face to face;
now I know in part,
but then I will know fully
just as I also have been fully known.
1 Corinthians 13:12

VII
Reincarnation - The Cycle of Life
Reincarnation, the recurring cycle of birth, death, and rebirth,

is a recurrent theme of Hindu philosophy. And reincarnation
is the concept that our bodies are temporal, but our souls
endure forever. For our physical bodies are like garments
which are worn-out over time. And after time "these worn-out
garments are shed by the body. Worn-out bodies are shed by
the dweller within the body. New bodies are donned by the
dweller, like garments." (Bhagavad Gita) And it was the first
man and woman who donned garments of skin. For "the
LORD God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife, and
clothed them." (Genesis 3:21) But at the end man's skin wears
out like a garment. And at the end, even the earth will roll up
like a garment. "Lift up your eyes to the sky, then look to the
earth beneath; for the sky will vanish like smoke, and the earth
will wear out like a garment and its inhabitants will die in like
manner." (Isaiah 51:6) Yet we were taught not to cling to
these garments, but to fear for the fate of our souls. "Do not
fear those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but
rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in
hell." (Matthew 10:28)
36
And the Hindu term for reincarnation is samsara, which is
suffering that is due to one's sins. And though man in his
ignorance has been tempted by the flesh, his soul remains
rooted in God. For "the tree of eternity has its roots in the sky,
and its branches reach down to earth. It is God; it is the
immortal soul. The whole universe comes from God; his
energy burns like fire, and his power reverberates like thunder,
in every part of the universe. In honor of God the sun shines,
the clouds rain, and the winds blow. Death itself goes about its
business in fear of God." (Katha Upanishad) And as the
Father claimed of men's souls, "behold, all souls are Mine; the
soul of the father as well as the soul of the son is Mine".
(Ezekiel 18:4) But each man must suffer as a consequence of
one's sins. For "the soul who sins shall die." (Ezekiel 18:5)
For the only way to freedom is to do what is lawful and right.
For "if a man is just and does what is lawful and right; if he
has not eaten on the mountains, nor lifted up his eyes to the
idols of the house of Israel, nor defiled his neighbor's wife, nor
approached a woman during her impurity; if he has not
oppressed anyone, but has restored to the debtor his pledge;
has robbed no one by violence, but has given his bread to the
hungry and covered the naked with clothing; if he has not
exacted usury nor taken any increase, but has withdrawn his
hand from iniquity and executed true judgment between man
and man; if he has walked in My statutes and kept My
judgments faithfully -- He is just; He shall surely live!' Says
the Lord GOD." (Ezekiel 18:6-9)
But every man since Adam has died. For each man's sins have
sentenced him to death. For "if he begets a son who is a
37
robber or a shedder of blood, who does any of these things and
does none of those duties, but has eaten on the mountains or
defiled his neighbor's wife; if he has oppressed the poor and
needy, robbed by violence, not restored the pledge, lifted his
eyes to the idols, or committed abomination; if he has exacted
usury or taken increase-- shall he then live? He shall not live!
If he has done any of these abominations, he shall surely die".
(Ezekiel 18:10-13) And the path of our failures leads to death
and rebirth. But the "path to eternal life" frees us from the
pain of rebirth. Thus by "banishing the folly of rebirth and
thus beholding perfection's true Being - that is wisdom."
(Tirukkural 36:358) But few men have been freed from the
cycle of rebirth. For "never does a man attain freedom by his
own skill". (Paushkara Agama) For the path to freedom was
established by the Father. "Thus says the LORD, 'Stand by the
ways and see and ask for the ancient paths, where the good
way is, and walk in it; and you will find rest for your souls.
But they said, 'We will not walk in it.'" (Jeremiah 6:16) And
the path to eternal life was revealed by the Son. For as He
said, "enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and
the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many
who enter through it. For the gate is small and the way is
narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it."
(Matthew 7:13-14) And the path to eternal life is granted
through the Spirit. For the grace of the Spirit grants us
freedom and rest. For "as the cattle which go down into the
valley, the Spirit of the LORD gave them rest. So You led Your
people, to make for Yourself a glorious name." (Isaiah 63:14)
38
But the flesh is temporary, and our bodies are temples which
are limited by time. For the temple is a reminder of God's path
to eternal life. For "we look not at the things which are seen,
but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are
seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are
eternal." (2 Corinthians 4:18) And the first temple was
established by the Father. "Your God has commanded your
strength; show Yourself strong, O God, who have acted on our
behalf. Because of Your temple at Jerusalem kings will bring
gifts to You." (Psalms 68:28-29) And the second temple was
established by the sacrifice of the Son. For "Jesus answered
them, 'Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it
up.' The Jews then said, 'It took forty-six years to build this
temple, and will You raise it up in three days?' But He was
speaking of the temple of His body. So when He was raised
from the dead, His disciples remembered that He said this; and
they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had
spoken." (John 2:19-22) And the third temple is being built by
the Spirit. For we as His people are the temple of the Spirit,
"or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy
Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you
are not your own? For you have been bought with a price:
therefore glorify God in your body." (1 Corinthians 6:19-20)
And by following His path, the Lord has granted His servants
freedom and rest. But the time of rest has ended, before the
Son of Man returns. For "whenever there is decay of
righteousness... and there is exaltation of unrighteousness,
then I Myself come forth... for the destruction of evil-doers,
for the sake of firmly establishing righteousness, I am born
39
from age to age." (Bhagavad Gita) And as the prophecy
foretold, His people have arisen from their graves for the last
judgment. "Thus says the Lord GOD, "Behold, I will open your
graves and cause you to come up out of your graves, My
people; and I will bring you into the land of Israel. Then you
will know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your
graves and caused you to come up out of your graves, My
people. I will put My Spirit within you and you will come to
life, and I will place you on your own land. Then you will
know that I, the LORD, have spoken and done it," declares the
LORD.' " (Ezekiel 37:12-14) And "many of those who sleep in
the dust of the ground will awake, these to everlasting life, but
the others to disgrace and everlasting contempt. Those who
have insight will shine brightly like the brightness of the
expanse of heaven, and those who lead the many to
righteousness, like the stars forever and ever." (Daniel 12:2-4)
Thus the truth of samsara is the answer to time's final

mystery. For when time comes to an end, the cycle of
reincarnation shall come to an end. And at the last battle,
Death shall be vanquished, and the cycle of reincarnation shall
end. Then the robe of eternal life shall awaken for all men in
victory. "Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep,
but we shall all be changed--in a moment, in the twinkling of
an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the
dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For
this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must
put on immortality. So when this corruptible has put on
incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall
be brought to pass the saying that is written:
40
Death is swallowed up in victory.
O Death, where is your sting?
O Hades, where is your victory?"
1 Corinthians 15:51-55
For time as at the beginning shall end. And the circle of God's
temple shall be One once again. And "I saw no temple in it,
for the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb are its temple."
(Revelation 21:22)

VIII
Samsara is Suffering and Death
Completed March 29,2010
Samsara is the Hindu word for reincarnation, but it also

pertains to the sufferings that occur in everyday life. For
samsara is determined by one's karma, and each man's samsara
is transferred from one life into the next. Yet many through
suicide have tried to escape their just recompense, and have
not experienced the true suffering of death. But at the end,
suffering and death shall retain its power over all men. For
"the whole universe comes from God; his energy burns like
fire, and his power reverberates like thunder, in every part of
the universe. In honor of God the sun shines, the clouds rain,
and the winds blow. Death itself goes about its business in
fear of God." (Katha Upanishad)
And death is a fair and just recompense, for all men must
suffer through death. And as it was promised, even those who
have cheated death, must suffer through its pain. For "the Son
of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and
then He will reward each according to his works. Assuredly, I
say to you, there are some standing here who shall not taste
death till they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom."
(Matthew 16:27-28) And no longer will man be able to cheat
death. For as it was prophesied, "then out of the smoke came
locusts upon the earth, and power was given them, as the
42
scorpions of the earth have power. They were told not to hurt
the grass of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree, but
only the men who do not have the seal of God on their
foreheads. And they were not permitted to kill anyone, but to
torment for five months; and their torment was like the
torment of a scorpion when it stings a man. And in those days
men will seek death and will not find it; they will long to die,
and death flees from them." (Revelation 9:3-6)
And samsara literally means "to wander". For men have

wandered aimlessly from one life into the next. And God has
rejected those who have wandered from His commands. For
"You have rejected all those who wander from Your statutes,
for their deceitfulness is useless." (Psalms 119:118) And it
was due to Israel's deceit that God made them wander in the
desert for forty years. "So the LORD'S anger burned against
Israel, and He made them wander in the wilderness forty
years, until the entire generation of those who had done evil in
the sight of the LORD was destroyed. Now behold, you have
risen up in your fathers' place, a brood of sinful men, to add
still more to the burning anger of the LORD against Israel. For
if you turn away from following Him, He will once more
abandon them in the wilderness, and you will destroy all these
people." (Numbers 32:13-15) And it is due to man's sins that
God makes them wander. For "He deprives of intelligence the
chiefs of the earth's people and makes them wander in a
pathless waste. They grope in darkness with no light, and He
makes them stagger like a drunken man." (Job 12:24-25) But
the path to eternal life is there for those who choose to walk in
His ways. For "a highway will be there, a roadway, and it will
43
be called the Highway of Holiness. The unclean will not travel
on it, but it will be for him who walks that way, and fools will
not wander on it." (Isaiah 35:8)
And samsara is derived from the Sanskirt root which means

"to flow". And the winepress once flowed with the Son of
Man's blood. And "one of the soldiers pierced Jesus' side with
a spear, bringing a sudden flow of blood and water. The man
who saw it has given testimony, and his testimony is true. He
knows that he tells the truth, and he testifies so that you also
may believe. These things happened so that the scripture
would be fulfilled: 'Not one of his bones will be broken,' and,
as another scripture says, 'They will look on the one they have
pierced.' " (John 19:34-37) And as it was prophesied, the
winepress shall flow when the Son returns. For "I will send a
plague against you and make blood flow in your streets. Your
people will fall dead. People with swords will attack you from
every side. Then they will know that I am the LORD." (Ezekiel
28:23)
But samsara shall bring all men back to the Father. For the
water from the Father sustained mankind from the beginning.
"Now a river flowed out of Eden to water the garden; and from
there it divided and became four rivers." (Genesis 2:10) And
the Father caused water to flow in the desert. For "He opened
the rock and water flowed out; it ran in the dry places like a
river." (Psalms 105:41) And the water shall flow from the
Temple of God, and it shall be healing for all of the nations.
"By the river on its bank, on one side and on the other, will
grow all kinds of trees for food. Their leaves will not wither
and their fruit will not fail. They will bear every month
44
because their water flows from the sanctuary, and their fruit
will be for food and their leaves for healing." (Ezekiel 47:12)
45
VIII
Moksha - The Way
Moksha is the Hindu term which refers to liberation

from the cycle of samsara. And it is through many
lifetimes, that men have been bound to this earth. But
"through constant efforts over many lifetimes, a
person becomes purified of all selfish desires and
attains the supreme goal of life." (Bhagavad Gita)
For it is the selfish desires of the flesh, which
imprison most men on this earth. For "if you have
bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, do
not be arrogant and so lie against the truth. This
wisdom is not that which comes down from above,
but is earthly, natural, demonic. For where jealousy
and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder and every
evil thing. But the wisdom from above is first pure,
then peaceable, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and
good fruits, unwavering, without hypocrisy." (James
3:14-17) And it is through the selfless example of
Christ, that we learn to deny our selfish ways. "We
then who are strong ought to bear with the scruples of
the weak, and not to please ourselves. Let each of us
46
please his neighbor for his good, leading to
edification. For even Christ did not please Himself;
but as it is written, 'The reproaches of those who
reproached You fell on Me.'" (Romans 15:1-3)
And every selfless act originates from God. For

"every selfless act...is born from Brahman, the
eternal, infinite Godhead. He is present in every act
of service." (Bhagavad Gita) For it was the selfless
act of the Father, that caused Him to send us His only
Son. And "although He existed in the form of God,
He did not regard equality with God a thing to be
grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a
bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of
men. Being found in appearance as a man, He
humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point
of death, even death on a cross." (Philippians 2:6-9)
And moksha is derived from the Sanskrit root mukti

which means "to release". And it is through the
mercy of God, that men are released from the cycle
of death. And it was after the seventh year of the
Jubilee, that the people were released from their
debts. "At the end of every seven years you shall
grant a release of debts. And this is the form of the
release: Every creditor who has lent anything to his
47
neighbor shall release it; he shall not require it of his
neighbor or his brother, because it is called the
LORD'S release." (Deuteronomy 15:1-2) And it is
after the seventh year of the prophecy, that all men
shall be released from the cycle of death. "This will
be written for the generation to come, that a people
yet to be created may praise the LORD. For He looked
down from the height of His sanctuary; from heaven
the LORD viewed the earth, to hear the groaning of
the prisoner, to release those appointed to death, to
declare the name of the LORD in Zion, and His praise
in Jerusalem, when the peoples are gathered together,
and the kingdoms, to serve the LORD." (Psalms
102:18-22)
For all men deserve the sentence of death. But the

Son who had committed no sin, did not deserve the
sentence of death. Yet when Pontius Pilate passed
judgment over Christ, he asked the people, "but you
have a custom that I should release someone to you
at the Passover. Do you therefore want me to release
to you the King of the Jews?" Then they all cried
again, saying, "Not this Man, but Barabbas!"" (John
18:39-40) "Then he released Barabbas for them; but
after having Jesus scourged, he handed Him over to
be crucified." (Matthew 27:26)
48
And it was through the selfless act of His death on
the cross, that His people were released from the
cycle of death. For "inasmuch then as the children
have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself
likewise shared in the same, that through death He
might destroy him who had the power of death, that
is, the devil, and release those who through fear of
death were all their lifetime subject to bondage."
(Hebrews 2:14-15) And now we are released from
the Law which has bound us. "For now we have
been released from the Law, having died to that by
which we were bound, so that we serve in newness of
the Spirit and not in oldness of the letter." (Romans
7:6) Yet despite knowing the truth, only one of a
hundred would follow His Way. For "from the heart
there radiate a hundred and one vital tracks. One of
them rises to the crown of the head. This way leads to
immortality, the others to death." (Katha Upanishad)
And as the Son spoke of the Way to eternal life,
"what man among you, if he has a hundred sheep and
has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in
the open pasture and go after the one which is lost
until he finds it? When he has found it, he lays it on
his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he comes home,
he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying
to them, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep
49
which was lost!' I tell you that in the same way, there
will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who
repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who
need no repentance." (Luke 15:4-7)
Thus the Truth is the Way to eternal life. For as

Christ said of the Way, "Let not your heart be
troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In
My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not
so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for
you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will
come again and receive you to Myself; that where I
am, there you may be also. And where I go you
know, and the way you know." Thomas said to Him,
"Lord, we do not know where You are going, and
how can we know the way?" Jesus said to him, "I am
the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the
Father except through Me." (John 14:1-6)

IX
The Hindu Prophecy
Completed April 2, 2010
Hindus consider this period of time to be the end of the Kali

Yuga or the "Dark Ages". And in this forsaken age, mankind
has degenerated and has fallen away from God. For as was
foretold "in the Kali Yuga, wealth alone will be the deciding
factor of nobility. And brute force will be the only standard or
deciding what is righteous or just. In that age, people will be
greedy. They will take to wicked behavior. They will be
merciless, indulge in hostilities without any cause,
unfortunate, extremely covetous for wealth and women. And
in the Kali Yuga, men will abandon their parents, brothers,
friends, and relatives. They will occupy high seats and will
pretend to preach religion. And mortal beings will become
dull-minded, unlucky, voracious, destitute of wealth yet
voluptuous, and women, wanton and unchaste." (Puranas)
And the disciples prophesied of the coming of this age. For "it
is in the last days that you have stored up your
treasure! Behold, the pay of the laborers who mowed your
fields, and which has been withheld by you, cries out against
you; and the outcry of those who did the harvesting has
reached the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth. You have lived
luxuriously on the earth and led a life of wanton pleasure; you
have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter. You have
condemned and put to death the righteous man; he does not
51
resist you." (James 5:3-6) "But realize this, that in the last
days difficult times will come. For men will be lovers of self,
lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to
parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable,
malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of
good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure
rather than lovers of God, holding to a form of godliness,
although they have denied its power." (2 Timothy 3:1-5)
And when evil and injustice rule, God shall return to establish
His righteousness upon the land. For "whenever there is
decay of righteousness... and there is exaltation of
unrighteousness, then I Myself come forth... for the
destruction of evil-doers, for the sake of firmly establishing
righteousness, I am born from age to age." (Bhagavad
Gita) And the Son shall execute His righteousness on the
land. For " 'behold, days are coming,' declares the LORD,
'when I will fulfill the good word which I have spoken
concerning the house of Israel and the house of Judah. In
those days and at that time I will cause a righteous Branch of
David to spring forth; and He shall execute justice and
righteousness on the earth. In those days Judah will be saved
and Jerusalem will dwell in safety; and this is the name by
which she will be called: the LORD is our righteousness.' "
(Jeremiah 33:14-16)
And at His return, the Lord shall mount His white horse, and
He shall execute justice throughout the land. For as the Hindu
prophecy foretold:
52
The Lord of the universe, will mount His swift white horse
Devadatta and, sword in hand, travel over the earth exhibiting
His eight mystic opulences and eight special qualities of
Godhead. Displaying His unequaled effulgence and riding
with great speed, He will kill by the millions those thieves who
have dared dress as kings.
Bhagavata Purana
And as the book of Revelation also foretold, the Son of Man

shall mount His white horse and execute justice on those who
have forsaken His name.
Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He

who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in
righteousness He judges and makes war. His eyes were like a
flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a
name written that no one knew except Himself. He was
clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called
The Word of God. And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine
linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses.
Revelation 19:11-16
And the Son shall destroy those who have forsaken Him. And
"by his irresistible might he will destroy the barbarians and
thieves, and all whose minds are devoted to iniquity. He will
then re-establish righteousness upon earth; and the minds of
those who live at the end of the Kali age shall be awakened,
and shall be as pellucid as crystal. The men who are thus
53
changed by virtue of that peculiar time shall be as the seeds of
human beings, and shall give birth to a race who shall follow
the laws of the Krita age, the Age of Purity.” (Vishnu Purana)
"Therefore the Lord GOD of hosts, The Mighty One of Israel,
declares, "Ah, I will be relieved of My adversaries and avenge
Myself on My foes. I will also turn My hand against you, and
will smelt away your dross as with lye and will remove all
your alloy. Then I will restore your judges as at the first, and
your counselors as at the beginning; after that you will be
called the city of righteousness, a faithful city. Zion will be
redeemed with justice and her repentant ones with
righteousness. " (Isaiah 1:24-27)
54
X
Life is Suffering
Buddhism was founded by the philosopher Siddhartha

Gautama, also known as Buddha. Buddha means the "one
who is awakened or enlightened", for it was through
meditation that Gautama became awakened and enlightened.
Gautama was born into royalty in Nepal, and thus was
sheltered from the life of the common man. However when he
breached the palace walls, he was shocked to see the cruel
suffering of the common man. As a result, devoted the
duration of his life to seeking enlightenment or eternal
awakening. And upon his awakening, Gautama discovered
dhamma which is the truth. And through enlightenment, he
would teach his disciples the "four noble truths".
The first of the noble truths is that life is suffering. For "this is
the noble truth of suffering: birth is suffering, aging is
suffering, illness is suffering, death is suffering; sorrow,
lamentation, pain, grief and despair are suffering; union with
what is displeasing is suffering; separation from what is
pleasing is suffering; not to get what one wants is suffering;
in brief, the five aggregates subject to clinging are suffering."
(Gautama Siddhartha) Thus all men are subject to suffering
from birth. "For the creation was subjected to futility, not
willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope that
the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to
corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of
55
God. For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers
the pains of childbirth together until now." (Romans 8:20-22)
And even the Son was subject to great suffering. "But the
things which God announced beforehand by the mouth of all
the prophets, that His Christ would suffer, He has thus
fulfilled." (Acts 3:18)
And the second noble truth is that suffering comes from the
attachment to desire. For "there is the origin of suffering,
which is attachment to desire. Desire should be let go of.
Desire has been let go of." (Gautama Siddhartha) For the first
murder occurred when Cain failed to control his desires. For
the Lord had warned "Cain, "Why are you angry? And why
has your countenance fallen? "If you do well, will not your
countenance be lifted up? And if you do not do well, sin is
crouching at the door; and its desire is for you, but you must
master it." (Genesis 4:6-7) For all sinful desires are wrought
through the desires of Satan. For as Christ castigated the
Pharisees, "you are of your father the devil, and you want to
do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the
beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no
truth in him." (John 8:44)
And the third noble truth is that there will be a cessation of

suffering. For "there is the cessation of suffering. The
cessation of suffering should be realized. The cessation of
suffering has been realized." (Gautama Siddhartha) For it is
through Christ's sacrifice, that the cessation of all sufferings
can be realized. "For according to the Law, one may almost
say, all things are cleansed with blood, and without shedding
of blood there is no forgiveness. Therefore it was necessary
56
for the copies of the things in the heavens to be cleansed with
these, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices
than these. For Christ did not enter a holy place made with
hands, a mere copy of the true one, but into heaven itself, now
to appear in the presence of God for us; nor was it that He
would offer Himself often, as the high priest enters the holy
place year by year with blood that is not his own. Otherwise,
He would have needed to suffer often since the foundation of
the world; but now once at the consummation of the ages He
has been manifested to put away sin by the sacrifice of
Himself." (Hebrews 9:22-27) And at the end of the ages,
all suffering shall come to an end.
And the fourth noble truth is that there is a path that leads out
of suffering. For "this is the noble truth of the way leading to
the cessation of suffering: it is the Noble Eightfold Path; that
is, right view, right intention, right speech, right action, right
livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, right concentration."
(Gautama Siddhartha) Thus the path out of suffering is the
right Way. And as Christ said of the Way, "I am the way, the
truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through
Me.'" (John 14:6) And at the end there shall be no more
suffering. "For he has not despised or disdained the suffering
of the afflicted one; he has not hidden his face from him but
has listened to his cry for help." (Psalms 22:24) And when the
seventh element of time is destroyed, all suffering and death
shall end. "And God will wipe away every tear from their
eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying.
There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed
57
away." Then He who sat on the throne said, "Behold, I make
all things new."" (Revelation 21:4-5)
58
XI
The Right Way
Siddhartha Gautama laid out the Noble Eightfold Path which

leads to the end of suffering. For it encompasses the wisdom
of moderation, which is exercised through self-discipline and
leads to the end of reincarnation. And this path is the "Noble
Eightfold Path, that is to say: the right view, right intent, right
speech, right action, right living, right effort, right
mindfulness, right contemplation." (Siddhartha Gautama)
And Solomon taught of the right path. For as he spoke of
God's words of wisdom, "hear, my son, and receive my
sayings, and the years of your life will be many. I have taught
you in the way of wisdom; I have led you in right paths."
(Proverbs 4:10-11)
And the first noble path is to have the right view, which is to
see things as they truly are. And that view is to understand the
temporal nature of the flesh. For His disciples were taught to
view the eternal out of the temporal. For "before the world
began, God planned that Christ Jesus would show us God's
kindness. Now with the coming of our Savior Christ Jesus, he
has revealed it. Christ has destroyed death, and through the
Good News he has brought eternal life into full view." (2
Timothy 1:9-10)
And the second noble path is to have the right intent, which is
to understand the motive which controls our actions. And this
59
entails the renunciation of desires, the suppression of anger,
and the avoidance of cruelty. For the Word of the Lord knows
our every intent and desire. "For the word of God is living and
active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as
far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and
marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the
heart. And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all
things are open and laid bare to the eyes of Him with whom
we have to do." (Hebrews 4:12-13)
And the third noble truth is to have the right speech, for the
wrong words can cause great harm and destruction. Thus the
right speech entails abstaining from false words, slanderous
speech, and idle talk. For the Lord loves speech that is
gracious, but hates words that are deceitful. For "he who
loves purity of heart and whose speech is gracious, the king is
his friend. The eyes of the LORD preserve knowledge, but He
overthrows the words of the treacherous man." (Proverbs
22:11-12)
And the fourth noble truth is to have the right action, which
entails utilizing our body righteously through our mind. And
the right action entails restraining from harm, mitigating
thievery, and avoiding sexual misconduct. For we all shall be
judged by our actions. And "this is the message you heard
from the beginning: We should love one another. Do not be
like Cain, who belonged to the evil one and murdered his
brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own
actions were evil and his brother's were righteous." (1 John 3:
11-12)
60
And the fifth noble truth is to have the right living, which
means to live with purity. And purity is attained by living
according to God's word. And "how can a young man keep
his way pure? By living according to your word." (Psalms
119:9) And by living according to God's word, the Spirit of
God dwells in us. "And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus
from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the
dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his
Spirit, who lives in you." (Romans 8:11)
And the sixth noble truth is to have the right effort, which
means that through our actions we perform great works. For
God's work entails great effort. "For the dream comes through
much effort." (Ecclesiastes 5:3) And Christ instructed us to
make every effort to follow His path. "Make every effort to
enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will
try to enter and will not be able to. Once the owner of the
house gets up and closes the door, you will stand outside
knocking and pleading, 'Sir, open the door for us.' But he will
answer, 'I don't know you or where you come from.'" (Luke
13:24-25)
And the seventh noble truth is the right mindfulness, which is

to see and understand things as they truly are. For
mindfulness entails perceiving and conceptualizing all things
in truth. Thus we strive to acquire the mind of the prudent and
wise. For "the mind of the prudent acquires knowledge, and
the ear of the wise seeks knowledge." (Proverbs 18:15) And
our mind perceives the things of the Spirit. "For the mind set
on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and
peace, because the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God;
61
for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not
even able to do so, and those who are in the flesh cannot
please God." (Romans 8:6-8) And by the right mindfulness, we
are one mind in Christ. "For "who has known the mind of the
LORD that he may instruct Him?" But we have the mind of
Christ." (1 Corinthians 2:16)
And the eighth noble truth is the right contemplation, which is

the ability to focus our mind towards one goal. And the right
contemplation comes through meditation. For God's people
were instructed to meditate on the Law. For "this Book of the
Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate
in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all
that is written in it. For then you will make your way
prosperous, and then you will have good success." (Joshua
1:8) And we are instructed to contemplate on God's statutes
that we may walk in His ways. "I will meditate on Your
precepts, and contemplate Your ways. I will delight myself in
Your statutes; I will not forget Your word." (Psalms 119:15-
16)

Whom did the LORD consult to enlighten him,
and who taught him the right way?
Who was it that taught him knowledge
or showed him the path of understanding?

The Precepts - The Law
The Five Precepts are a condensed form of Buddhist ethical

standards. And these Five Precepts are personal commitments
to abstain from killing, stealing, sexual misconduct, lying, and
intoxication. Thus a precept is considered to be a great moral
virtue. For as it is summarized:
Not to do any evil,

To cultivate good,
To purify one's mind,
This is the teaching of the Buddhas.
Dhammapada
And since the beginning of time, the righteous man has sought
for good over evil. For from its knowledge and instruction,
man would hope to find eternal life. For in the Garden, man
was driven from the tree of eternal life. As it is written "the
LORD God said, "Behold, the man has become like one of Us,
knowing good and evil; and now, he might stretch out his
hand, and take also from the tree of life, and eat, and live
64
forever"— therefore the LORD God sent him out from the
garden of Eden, to cultivate the ground from which he was
taken. So He drove the man out; and at the east of the garden
of Eden He stationed the cherubim and the flaming sword
which turned every direction to guard the way to the tree of
life." (Genesis 3:22-24) Thus the way to eternal life has been
guarded. But Christ came down to earth to show as the way to
eternal life. For His love and sacrifice gives us victory of
good over evil. And through His propitiation and our
sanctification, we are made pure. "Beloved, now we are
children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we
shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be
like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. And everyone who
has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure." (1
John 3:2-3)
And the first precept states, "I undertake the precept to refrain
from destroying living creatures." (Dhamma) For God has
created every living creature on this earth. And "God created
the great sea monsters and every living creature that moves,
with which the waters swarmed after their kind, and every
winged bird after its kind; and God saw that it was good. God
blessed them, saying, 'Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the
waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.'"
(Genesis 1:21-22) And God commands man to care for His
creatures. For "God blessed man; and God said to them, 'Be
fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule
over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over
every living thing that moves on the earth.'" (Genesis 1:28)
And God has commanded man to use its fruit wisely in order
65
to sustain him. "Then God said, 'Behold, I have given you
every plant yielding seed that is on the surface of all the earth,
and every tree which has fruit yielding seed; it shall be food
for you; and to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the
sky and to everything that moves on the earth which has life, I
have given every green plant for food"; and it was so.'"
(Genesis 1:29-30)
And the second precept states "I undertake the precept to

refrain from taking that which is not given." (Dhamma) And
the seventh commandment states, "You shall not steal."
(Exodus 20:15) And we are commanded not only to refrain
from stealing, but to provide for those in need. For "He who
steals must steal no longer; but rather he must labor,
performing with his own hands what is good, so that he will
have something to share with one who has need." (Ephesus
4:28)
And the third precept states "I undertake the precept to refrain
from sexual misconduct." (Dhamma) And the sixth
commandment states "You shall not commit adultery."
(Exodus 20:14) And the ninth commandment furthermore
states, "You shall not covet your neighbor's wife."
(Deuteronomy 5:21 ) For adultery easily takes seed in the
heart of man. For "you have heard that it was said to those of
old, 'You shall not commit adultery.' But I say to you that
whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already
committed adultery with her in his heart." (Matthew 5:27-28)
And adultery takes fruit in the loins of our body. Thus "flee
from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are
outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his
66
own body. Do you not know that your body is a temple of the
Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from
God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price.
Therefore honor God with your body." (1 Corinthians 6:18-
20)
And the fourth precept states, "I undertake the precept to

refrain from incorrect speech." (Dhamma) And the eighth
commandment states, "You shall not bear false witness against
your neighbor." (Exodus 20:16) For false words condemn a
man, but the truth shall speak forever. For "a false witness
will perish, but the man who listens to the truth will speak
forever." (Proverbs 21:28) And a true citizen of Zion speaks
with righteousness and truth. For "He who walks with
integrity, and works righteousness, and speaks truth in his
heart. He does not slander with his tongue, nor does evil to his
neighbor, nor takes up a reproach against his friend." (Psalms
15:2-3) And the remnant of Israel shall speak only truth. For
"the remnant of Israel shall do no unrighteousness and speak
no lies, nor shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth;
for they shall feed their flocks and lie down, and no one shall
make them afraid." (Zephaniah 3:13)
And the fifth precept states, "I undertake the precept to refrain
from intoxicating drinks and drugs which lead to
carelessness." (Dhamma) For as the proverbs say of strong
drink, "wine is a mocker, strong drink a brawler, and
whoever is intoxicated by it is not wise." (Proverbs 20:1) For
we are taught not to be filled with the spirit of wine, but to be
filled with the Spirit of God. "And do not be drunk with
wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit."
67
(Ephesians 5:18) And those who drunk will be subject to
God's wrath. "For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those
who get drunk are drunk at night. But let us who are of the
day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and
as a helmet the hope of salvation. For God did not appoint us
to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus
Christ." (1 Thessalonians 5:7-9)
68
XIII
Compassion - The Two Brothers
The Buddhist philosophy teaches that wisdom is perfected

through compassion, which involves two opposite sides: the
"giver" and the "receiver". And as Guatama said of the giver,
"if you light a lamp for somebody, it will also brighten your
path." (Siddhartha Gautama) And as the Son said of the
receiver, "it is not those who are healthy who need a
physician, but those who are sick. But go and learn what this
means: 'I DESIRE COMPASSION, AND NOT SACRIFICE,' for I did
not come to call the righteous, but sinners." (Matthew 9:12-
13)
And compassion is the duality of wisdom and

mindfulness. For "wisdom is the light by day and right
mindfulness is the protection by night." (Siddhartha Gautama)
And wisdom comes from the Father, for it is the knowledge
and understanding of His precepts. "For the LORD gives
wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and
understanding." (Proverbs 2:6) Yet despite its great
knowledge and blessing, how easily one forgets "the secrets of
wisdom! For sound wisdom has two sides. Know then that
God forgets a part of your iniquity." (Job 11:6)
For on the other hand, mindfulness is "the ability to focus on

one's mind while putting aside greed and distress in reference
to this world." (Digha Nikaya) And mindfulness comes from
the Son, for as we know Christ is the Mind of God.
69
(Addendum 3: The Mind of Christ) And the mindful psalmist
remembers all the mercies that God has given him. For "He
hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: Jehovah is
gracious and merciful. He hath given food unto them that fear
him: He will ever be mindful of his covenant." (Psalms 111:4-
5) But when man is not mindful of the Lord's many mercies,
calamity is sure to follow. "Because thou hast forgotten the
God of thy salvation, and hast not been mindful of the rock of
thy strength, therefore shalt thou plant pleasant plants, and
shalt set it with strange slips: In the day shalt thou make thy
plant to grow, and in the morning shalt thou make thy seed to
flourish: but the harvest shall be a heap in the day of grief and
of desperate sorrow." (Isaiah 17:10-11)
And compassion was defined by Gautama as the desire for

others to be free from suffering. For the Buddhist term for
compassion is bodhicitta. And "bodhi" is the Sanskrit root for
enlightenment and "citta" is the Sanskrit root for mind. Thus
bodhicitta is defined as the enlightenment of the mind. And
through the enlightenment of our mind, our compassion
desires to ease the sufferings of all men.
For as an enthusiastic student asks his teacher:

"Master, what can I do to help all the suffering beings in this world?
The teacher answers: "Indeed, what can you do?"
Buddhist Proverb
70
And Christ through His enlightenment taught us how to
bestow this compassion upon others. And He taught this through
the parable of two brothers:
For a certain man had two sons. And the younger

of them said to his father, 'Father, give me the
portion of goods that falls to me.' So he divided to
them his livelihood. And not many days after, the
younger son gathered all together, journeyed to a
far country, and there wasted his possessions with
prodigal living. But when he had spent all, there
arose a severe famine in that land, and he began
to be in want. Then he went and joined himself to
a citizen of that country, and he sent him into his
fields to feed swine. And he would gladly have
filled his stomach with the pods that the swine ate,
and no one gave him anything. But when he came
to himself, he said, 'How many of my father's hired
servants have bread enough and to spare, and I
perish with hunger! I will arise and go to my
father, and will say to him, "Father, I have sinned
against heaven and before you, and I am no
longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like
one of your hired servants." ' And he arose and
came to his father. But when he was still a great
way off, his father saw him and had compassion,
and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him. And
the son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against
heaven and in your sight, and am no longer
worthy to be called your son.' But the father said
71
to his servants, 'Bring out the best robe and put it
on him, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on
his feet. And bring the fatted calf here and kill it,
and let us eat and be merry; for this my son was
dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.'
And they began to be merry. Now his older son
was in the field. And as he came and drew near to
the house, he heard music and dancing. So he
called one of the servants and asked what these
things meant. And he said to him, 'Your brother
has come, and because he has received him safe
and sound, your father has killed the fatted calf.'
But he was angry and would not go in. Therefore
his father came out and pleaded with him. So he
answered and said to his father, 'Lo, these many
years I have been serving you; I never
transgressed your commandment at any time; and
yet you never gave me a young goat, that I might
make merry with my friends. But as soon as this
son of yours came, who has devoured your
livelihood with harlots, you killed the fatted calf
for him.' And he said to him, 'Son, you are always
with me, and all that I have is yours. It was right
that we should make merry and be glad, for your
brother was dead and is alive again, and was lost
and is found.'
Luke 15:11-32
72
For the Father has bestowed His compassion on us as the
"younger son". For as the Father said, "I will have mercy on
whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on
whomever I will have compassion. So then it is not of him
who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who shows
mercy." (Romans 9:15-16) And now we must be mindful of
being the first to receive the Lord's mercy and compassion.
For as the Lord taught us, "I desire compassion and not
sacrifice". And just as God bestowed compassion on us, so
must we bestow compassion on others. For now we as the
"older son" have inherited God's kingdom. And as His "older
son", we are appointed to be priests of compassion. "For
every high priest taken from among men is appointed for men
in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and
sacrifices for sins. He can have compassion on those who are
ignorant and going astray, since he himself is also subject to
weakness." (Hebrews 5:1-2) And by our compassion we can
warn our brothers of the fire to come. "For on some have
compassion, making a distinction; but others save with fear,
pulling them out of the fire, hating even the garment defiled
by the flesh." (Jude 1:22-23) And just as the Lord had
compassion on us, so should we have compassion on those left
behind. "So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and
beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility,
gentleness and patience; bearing with one another, and
forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone;
just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you." (Colossians
3:12-13)
73
XIV
Nirvana - Without Death
Nirvana is the state of being free from all suffering and death.
For nirvana is derived from the Pali roots ni- which means
"without" and vana which means "to smell". Thus the
meaning of nirvana is to be "without the smell of death". And
the stench of death first began in the Garden, for from the tree
of knowledge all men would die. For as the Father said,
"from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not
eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die."
(Genesis 2:17) But through the sacrifice of Christ, we pass
through death into eternal life. For as He said, "truly, truly, I
say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent
Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has
passed out of death into life." (John 5:24) And no longer do
we have the smell of death, but the fragrance of life. "For we
are to God the aroma of Christ among those who are being
saved and those who are perishing. To the one we are the
smell of death; to the other, the fragrance of life. And who is
equal to such a task?" (2 Corinthians 2:15-17) And at the end
of all things, the stench of death shall be destroyed. "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. The last enemy that will be destroyed is death." (1
Corinthians 15:24-26)
74
And nirvana ends the cycle of samsara. For samsara is the
cycle of suffering due to the ignorance of truth. And nirvana is
truth for as it says, "the dustless and stainless Eye of Truth has
arisen. He has seen Truth, has attained Truth, has known
Truth, has penetrated into Truth, has crossed over doubt, is
without wavering. Thus with right wisdom he sees it as it is ...
The Absolute Truth is Nirvana, which is Reality." (Siddhartha
Gautama) And it is the Reality of God's words which are
Absolute Truth. For "the sum of Your word is truth, and
every one of Your righteous ordinances is everlasting."
(Psalms 119:160) For as we know, the Son is the Word, and
the Word is Truth. For "the Word became flesh, and dwelt
from the Father, full of grace and truth." (John 1:14) And the
Reality of Christ is the Absolute Truth. "For the Law was
Jesus Christ." (John 1:17)
And nirvana completes all things and leaves nothing behind.

For “someone who has set out in the vehicle of a Bodhisattva
should decide that 'I must lead all the beings to nirvana, into
that realm of nirvana which leaves nothing behind'. What is
this realm of nirvana which leaves nothing behind?”
(Siddhartha Gautama) But in order to complete all things and
leave nothing behind, all wrongs must be righted. And to
complete all things and leave nothing behind, this earth must
be destroyed. "For all the earth will be devoured in the fire of
His jealousy, for He will make a complete end, indeed a
terrifying one, of all the inhabitants of the earth." (Zephaniah
1:18) And we as His people look for new heavens and a new
75
earth in which all things are complete. "For according to His
promise we are looking for new heavens and a new earth, in
which righteousness dwells." (2 Peter 3:13) And the former
things will not be remembered, then all shall be complete.
"For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; and the
former things will not be remembered or come to mind. But
be glad and rejoice forever in what I create; for behold, I
create Jerusalem for rejoicing and her people for gladness. I
will also rejoice in Jerusalem and be glad in My people; and
there will no longer be heard in her the voice of weeping and
the sound of crying." (Isaiah 65:17-19) And when all things
are complete, not one person shall be left behind. "For just as
the new heavens and the new earth which I make will endure
before Me," declares the LORD, "So your offspring and your
name will endure. And it shall be from new moon to new
moon and from sabbath to sabbath, all mankind will come to
bow down before Me," says the LORD." (Isaiah 66:22-23)

Kalachakra - The Final Cycle of Time
The word Kalachakra means "cycles or wheels of time". And

the Kalachakra Laghuntantra is a Buddhist text which
expounds on the three cycles of time: external, internal, and
alternative. External cycles are the historical and astronomical
cycles that the earth and the universe pass through. And
internal cycles are the physiological and spiritual cycles that
all living beings pass through. And the alternative cycles are
the meditative means for gaining liberation from these two
cycles. For as Gautama said of time, "there is only one time
when it is essential to awaken. That time is now." (Siddhartha
Gautama)
And the first section of the Kalachakra Tantra discourses on

the "outer cycle" of this physical realm. For the outer cycle
pertains to the vessel of this universe, which supports all living
beings. And more specifically this cycle involves the planets
and their cosmological cycles. For it was God the Creator who
began the cycle of time, by putting the sun and the planets in
motion. For "God said, 'Let there be lights in the expanse of
the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be
for signs and for seasons and for days and years; and let them
be for lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the
earth'; and it was so. God made the two great lights, the
greater light to govern the day, and the lesser light to govern
the night; He made the stars also. God placed them in the
77
expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth, and to
govern the day and the night, and to separate the light from the
darkness; and God saw that it was good." (Genesis 1:14-18)
And the middle section of the Kalachakra Tantra pertains to

the "inner cycle" of all living beings. And the inner cycle is of
greater importance, for the outer cycle is just an image of the
inner cycle of our being. For man was created in the image of
the God, and the earth was created so that man could rule over
it. For "God said, 'let Us make man in Our image, according
to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and
over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the
earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.'"
(Genesis 1:26) And the inner sanctuary of our heart is heard
by the Father. For as the Son taught us, "but you, when you
pray, go into your inner room, close your door and pray to
your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees what is
done in secret will reward you." (Matthew 6:6) And it is our
inner being which the Father can see. For as the Son reproved
the Pharisees, "now you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup
and of the platter; but inside of you, you are full of robbery
and wickedness. You foolish ones, did not He who made the
outside make the inside also?" (Luke 11:39-40)
And the final section of the Kalachakra Tantra refers to the

"alternative cycle". And the alternative cycle involves mindful
meditation, which leads to spiritual fruition. And by
meditating on God's commandments, we yield the fruits of the
Holy Spirit. "O how I love Your law! It is my meditation all
the day. Your commandments make me wiser than my
enemies, for they are ever mine. I have more insight than all
78
my teachers, for Your testimonies are my meditation. I
understand more than the aged, because I have observed Your
precepts." (Psalms 119:97-100) And by our meditation, our
faith yields fruit through the works of the Spirit. And through
our works of the Holy Spirit, the Father grants us all things
that we need. For as the Son taught us "have faith in God.
Truly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be taken
up and cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but
believes that what he says is going to happen, it will be
granted him. Therefore I say to you, all things for which you
pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they
will be granted you. " (Mark 11:22-24)
And the Kalachakra Tantra speaks of the end that shall soon
come. For as it was prophesied: "Adam, Noah, Abraham, and
five others – Moses, Jesus, the White-Clad One, Muhammad,
and Mahdi – with tamas, are in the asura-naga caste. The
eighth will be the blinded one. The seventh will manifestly
come to the city of Baghdad in the land of Mecca, the place in
this world where a portion of the asura caste will have the
form of the powerful, merciless mlecchas (barbarians)."
(Kalachakra Tantra) Thus Satan shall grant his power to the
antichrist and his merciless and barbaric Mahdi army. For the
antichrist is Moqtada al Sadr, the king of Baghdad and the
imam of Iraq. (Addendum 4: The Antichrist is Here, The King
Returns)
And the final riddle is this: "The beast that you saw was, and
is not, and is about to come up out of the abyss and go to
destruction. And those who dwell on the earth, whose name
79
has not been written in the book of life from the foundation of
the world, will wonder when they see the beast, that he was
and is not and will come. Here is the mind which has wisdom.
The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman
sits, and they are seven kings; five have fallen, one is, the
other has not yet come; and when he comes, he must remain a
little while. The beast which was and is not, is himself also an
eighth and is one of the seven, and he goes to destruction. The
ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have not yet
received a kingdom, but they receive authority as kings with
the beast for one hour. These have one purpose, and they give
their power and authority to the beast." (Revelation 17:8-13)
And the answer to the riddle is this: the eighth ruler that was,
and is not, and is about to come is Sabaoth. For Sabaoth
represents the seven days of the week, and is better known as
"Time". (Addendum 5: Everything is Perfected in Eight) And
at the end time shall be done. For as God had planned it once
before, time shall end forevermore.
The time is now.

Tao - The Way
Taoism, also known as Daoism, refers to the philosophical tenets

which became predominant in Eastern China over the past two and
a half millennium. The founder of Taoism is believed by many
historians to be a philosopher by the name of Lao Tse. (604-
531 BC) And this name literally means an "old master" who
was searching for a way to resolve the constant feudal warfare
during the Warring States Period. And the result of his work
was the Tao-te-Ching, a proverbial text which emphasizes
peace as reflected by the flow of the universe.
And Tao refers to the all encompassing flow of the universe. But
due to its universal nature, Tao is often referred to as "the
nameless", for no word can adequately define its ubiquitous form.
For as Lao Tse wrote at the beginning of the Tao-te-Ching, "the
Tao that can be spoken of is not the real Tao". And the name
"Father" is not truly the Father, for the Father encompasses all
things. For the Father is the One who has created the universe
and has rule over all of its nature. For "we know that an idol is
nothing at all in the world and that there is no God but
one. For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven
or on earth, yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from
whom all things came and for whom we live." (1 Corinthians
8:4-6) And the ways of the Father are impossible to
81
comprehend. "Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom
and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments
and His ways past finding out! For who has known the mind
of the LORD? Or who has become His counselor? Or who has
first given to Him and it shall be repaid to him?" (Romans
11:33-35) But the Father sent us His only begotten Son so
that we could know the Father. For as the Son said, "all things
have been handed over to Me by My Father; and no one
knows the Son except the Father; nor does anyone know the
Father except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son wills to
reveal Him." (Matthew 11:27)
And the derivative of Tao means the "path" or the "way". For
even Taoism concedes that this way is not the true way to eternal
life. For as Lao Tse concedes "the way that can be described is
not the true way." (Tao-te-Ching) For when Adam and Eve
were driven out of the Garden, the angels would guard the
way back to eternal life. For "He drove the man out; and at
the east of the garden of Eden He stationed the cherubim and
the flaming sword which turned every direction to guard the
way to the tree of life." (Genesis 3:24) And His people were
instructed to walk in God's way. "You shall walk in all the
way which the LORD your God has commanded you, that you
may live and that it may be well with you, and that you may
prolong your days in the land which you will possess."
(Deuteronomy 5:33) But the people failed to walk in His way.
For "He knows their works, and He overthrows them in the
night, and they are crushed. He strikes them like the wicked
in a public place, because they turned aside from following
Him, and had no regard for any of His ways". (Job 34:25-27)
82
And because His people had failed, the Father sent us His
only Son to show us the Way to eternal life. For as the
Son taught of the Way, "enter through the narrow gate; for the
gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and
there are many who enter through it. For the gate is small and
the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find
it." (Matthew 7:13-14) And the Son would finally reveal the
way to eternal life: "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No
one comes to the Father except through Me." (John 14:6)
(Addendum 6: Christ is the Way)
83
XVII
Oneness is Love
The first principle of Taoism is Oneness, for man and the

universe are One with God. For as Lao-Tse explained, "every
being in the universe is an expression of the Tao. It springs
into existence, unconscious, perfect, free, takes on a physical
body, lets circumstances complete it. That is why every being
spontaneously honors the Tao. The Tao gives birth to all
beings, nourishes them, maintains them, cares for them,
comforts them, protects them, takes them back to itself,
creating without possessing, acting without expecting, guiding
without interfering. That is why love of the Tao is in the very
nature of things." (Tao-te-Ching)
Thus all things are one, for "every being in the universe is an
expression of Tao." (Tao-te-Ching) And every being in the
universe is an expression of God, for every being was created
by God. (Addendum 7: God is One) For in the beginning
"God created the great sea monsters and every living creature
that moves, with which the waters swarmed after their kind,
and every winged bird after its kind; and God saw that it was
good. God blessed them, saying, 'Be fruitful and multiply, and
fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.'"
(Genesis 1:21-22) And every man is an embodiment of God,
for every man was made in the image of God. For "God
created man in His own image, in the image of God He
created him; male and female He created them. God blessed
84
them; and God said to them, 'Be fruitful and multiply, and fill
the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and
over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that
moves on the earth.'" (Genesis 1:27-28)
But Oneness is difficult for man to comprehend. Or "can you

coax your mind from its wandering and keep to the original
oneness? Can you let your body become supple as a newborn
child's? Can you cleanse your inner vision until you see
nothing but the light? Can you love people and lead them
without imposing your will? Can you deal with the most vital
matters by letting events take their course? Can you step back
from your own mind and thus understand all things?" (Tao-te-
Ching) For the mind is prone to wander off the path of
oneness. For the Lord "deprives of intelligence the chiefs of
the earth's people and makes them wander in a pathless waste.
They grope in darkness with no light, and He makes them
stagger like a drunken man." (Job 12:24-25) For it is not the
earth's rulers, but the children who understand the Oneness of
God. For as the Lord said, "let the little children come to me,
and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to
such as these. I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive
the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it."
(Mark 10:14-15) For His children no longer grope in the
darkness, but now walk and see in the Light. For the Son
came to earth as the Light, and as the Light would testify, "if
anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees
the light of this world. But if anyone walks in the night, he
stumbles, because the light is not in him." (John 11:9-10)
And by walking in the Light, He taught us how to love all
85
men. For "He has delivered us from the power of darkness
and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love."
(Colossians 1:13) And as the Son taught of His love, "you
have heard that it was said, 'YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR
AND HATE your enemy.' But I say to you, love your enemies
and pray for those who persecute you." (Matthew 5:43) For
through our love, we see the Light as sons of the Father. And
as sons of the Father, we see as the Father sees, which is the
Oneness of all. And now "you may be sons of your Father
who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and
the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous."
(Matthew 5:44-45)
And it is through Oneness that we learn how to love. For as

Lao Tse taught "see the world as yourself. Have faith in the
way things are. Love the world as yourself; then you can care
for all things." (Tao-te-Ching) And by God's commands, He
teaches us to love Him in Oneness. For "the first of all the
commandments is this: 'Hear, O Israel, the LORD our God, the
LORD is one. And you shall love the LORD your God with all
your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all
your strength.' This is the first commandment." And in like
matter, the Father taught us to love one another in
Oneness. "For the second, like it, is this: 'You shall love your
neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater
than these." (Mark 12:29-31) And as the Lord taught us, "a
new commandment I give to you, that you love one another,
even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By
this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have
love for one another." (John 13:34-35)
86
And in completion of Oneness, all things shall return from
where they began. For "in the beginning was the Tao. All
things issue from it; all things return to it." (Tao-te-Ching)
And all things began with God, and all things shall end with
God. For "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God,
"who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty."
(Revelation 1:8) For the Lord God is the all in all. And every
one shall return to the Father, but each one in his own order.
"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. The last enemy that will be destroyed is death. For "He
has put all things under His feet." But when He says "all
things are put under Him," it is evident that He who put all
things under Him is excepted. Now when all things are made
subject to Him, then the Son Himself will also be subject to
Him who put all things under Him, that God may be all in all."
(1 Corinthians 15:22-28)

Yin and Yang - Two Produces One
Tao is One. But Tao consists of two equal and opposite polarities:
yin and yang. For yin and yang are the balance of two natures
which in harmony yields one. For "the Tao is the One. From the
One come yin and yang; from these two, creative energy chi;
from energy, ten thousand things, the forms of all creation. All
life embodies yin and embraces yang, through their union
achieving harmony." (Tao-te-Ching) And it was at the
beginning that yin and yang were divided, for it was by their
division that both could exist. For "the created universe
carries the yin at its back and the yang in front." (Tao-te
Ching) And it was in the beginning that God divided the light
from the darkness. For "God said, "Let there be light"; and
there was light. God saw that the light was good; and God
separated the light from the darkness. God called the light day,
and the darkness He called night." (Genesis 1:3-5)
88
For yin is the source of darkness, which manifests in mystery,
and is mystery that is manifest. For as Lao-Tse explained,
"yet mystery and manifestations arise from the same source.
This source is called darkness. Darkness within darkness.
The gateway to all understanding." (Tao-te-Ching) For
darkness was there before the light, and the darkness covered
the whole earth. "The earth was formless and void, and
darkness was over the surface of the deep." (Genesis 1:2) And
yin conceives all things, for it is the womb of all of creation.
"For there was something formless and perfect before the
universe was born. It is serene. Empty. Solitary. Unchanging.
Infinite. Eternally present. It is the mother of the universe."
(Tao-te-Ching)
And that which is formless and perfect, serene and infinitely

present, is the Spirit of God. For when "the earth was
formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the
deep", "the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the
waters." (Genesis 1:2) And the Spirit of God gives birth to
all things. For "You send forth Your Spirit, they are created;
and You renew the face of the ground." (Psalms 104:30) And
yin is present in all things, for "it flows through all things,
inside and outside, and returns to the origin of all things."
(Tao-te-Ching) And the Spirit flows through all things and
within every place. "Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or
where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend to heaven,
You are there; if I make my bed in Sheol, behold, You are
there. If I take the wings of the dawn, if I dwell in the
remotest part of the sea, even there Your hand will lead me,
89
and Your right hand will lay hold of me." (Psalms 139:7-10)
And all things return through the Spirit. "For the dust will
return to the earth as it was, and the spirit will return to God
who gave it." (Ecclesiastes 12:7)
And yang is the root of the light. For "the heavy is the root of
the light. The unmoved is the source of all movement." (Tao-
te-Ching) And the Father is the root of the light, for in the
beginning He created light. And He separated the light from
darkness. For "God said, "Let there be light"; and there was
light. God saw that the light was good; and God separated the
light from the darkness. God called the light day, and the
darkness He called night." (Genesis 1:3-5) And the Father is
the unmovable, for He is the center of all things. For it is He
who created the sun and the earth, and it is He who fixes the
order of the days and the nights. "Thus says the LORD, who
gives the sun for light by day and the fixed order of the moon
and the stars for light by night, who stirs up the sea so that its
waves roar; the LORD of hosts is His name:" (Jeremiah 31:35)
And yang is that which protects and sustains all things. For "it
maintains them, cares for them, comforts them, protects them,
takes them back to itself". (Tao-te-Ching) And the Father is
One who cares for and sustains all things. For as the Son
taught us of the Father, "Look at the birds of the air, that they
do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your
heavenly Father feeds them ... Observe how the lilies of the
field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin, yet I say to you
that not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one
of these ... Do not worry then, saying, 'What will we eat?' or
'What will we drink?' or 'What will we wear for clothing?' For
90
the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly
Father knows that you need all these things." (Matthew 6:26-
32) And yang is the root to which all things return. For "each
separate being in the universe returns to the common source.
Returning to the source is serenity." (Tao-te-Ching) And all
men shall return to the Father. "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." (1 Corinthians 15:23-24)
And it is not the dualistic nature of yin and yang, but their
unity which makes all things complete. For "above, it isn't bright.
Below, it isn't dark. Seamless, unnamable, it returns to the
realm of nothing. Form that includes all forms, image without
an image, subtle, beyond all conception." (Tao-te-Ching) And
it was from God's conception that the Son was manifest. For
the Son was begotten from the bosom of the Father. For "no
one has seen God at any time; the only begotten God who is in
the bosom of the Father, He has explained Him." (John 1:18)
And it was through the Spirit that the Son was conceived.
"Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: when His
mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came
together she was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit."
(Matthew 1:18)
For the Father is the One who begot the Spirit. And the
Father and the Spirit begot the Son. And now the Trinity is
complete. For "the Tao gives birth to One. One gives birth to
Two. Two gives birth to Three. Three gives birth to all
things." (Tao-te-Ching) And it is through the Father, Son, and
91
Holy Spirit that all is complete. "For whatever is born of God
overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has
overcome the world--our faith. Who is he who overcomes the
world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? This
is He who came by water and blood--Jesus Christ; not only by
water, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who bears
witness, because the Spirit is truth. For there are three that
bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy
Spirit; and these three are one. And there are three that bear
witness on earth: the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these
three agree as one. (1 John 5:4-8)
All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.
Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am
with you always, even to the end of the age. Amen.
Matthew 28:18-20

XIX
The Seed - The Bridegroom and the Bride
"Only after the One is acted upon will it begin to penetrate

through yin and yang. Without the two forces there cannot be
the One." (Chang Tsai) And it was at the beginning that there
was only one man. But it was not proper that one man should
live in the Garden alone. For "as the Lord God said "It is not
good for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper suitable
for him." " (Genesis 2:18) And by God's grace, He divided
man into two. "So the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall
upon the man, and he slept; then He took one of his ribs and
closed up the flesh at that place. The LORD God fashioned into
a woman the rib which He had taken from the man, and
brought her to the man. The man said, "This is now bone of
my bones, and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman,
because she was taken out of Man." (Genesis 2:21-23)
For yin represents the "female" and yang represents the

"male". For as Lao Tse wrote, "know the male, yet keep to the
female: receive the world in your arms. If you receive the
world, the Tao will never leave you and you will be like a
little child." (Tao-te-Ching) For men should not dwell on the
difference, but on the union of the two which makes one. For
"through the union of the pervading principles it reaches
harmony." (Tao-te Ching) And by God's grace, the union of
93
two were made into one. For a man and a woman are united
to form one flesh. "For this reason a man shall leave his father
and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall
become one flesh." (Genesis 2:24) And through the seed of
Adam and Eve, the nations of the world would grow in the
flesh. For as the Lord promised Abram through his
faithfulness, "in your seed all the nations of the earth shall be
blessed, because you have obeyed My voice." (Genesis
22:18)
And the Father sent His Son down to earth, that the Seed of
His Word would be spread. "For the seed is the word of God."
(Luke 8:11) And the Son would sow the good seed
throughout all the earth. For "He who sows the good seed is
the Son of Man. The field is the world, the good seeds are the
sons of the kingdom, but the tares are the sons of the wicked
one. The enemy who sowed them is the devil, the harvest is
the end of the age, and the reapers are the angels. Therefore as
the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at the
end of this age. The Son of Man will send out His angels, and
they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and
those who practice lawlessness, and will cast them into the
furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of
teeth. Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the
kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him
hear!" (Matthew 13:37-43) For as the Son of Man taught us
about the seed, "the seed is the word of God. Those by the
wayside are the ones who hear; then the devil comes and takes
away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and
be saved. But the ones on the rock are those who, when they
94
hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who
believe for a while and in time of temptation fall away. Now
the ones that fell among thorns are those who, when they have
heard, go out and are choked with cares, riches, and pleasures
of life, and bring no fruit to maturity. But the ones that fell on
the good ground are those who, having heard the word with a
noble and good heart, keep it and bear fruit with patience."
(Luke 8:11-15)
And now as the end draws near, the first fruits are ready to be
reaped. For the yin of the Seed is the Bride, His firstfruits.
"Then I looked, and behold, the Lamb was standing on Mount
Zion, and with Him one hundred and forty-four thousand,
having His name and the name of His Father written on their
foreheads. And I heard a voice from heaven, like the sound
of many waters and like the sound of loud thunder, and the
voice which I heard was like the sound of harpists playing on
their harps. And they sang a new song before the throne and
before the four living creatures and the elders; and no one
could learn the song except the one hundred and forty-four
thousand who had been purchased from the earth. These are
the ones who have not been defiled with women, for they have
kept themselves chaste. These are the ones who follow the
Lamb wherever He goes. These have been purchased from
among men as first fruits to God and to the Lamb. And no lie
was found in their mouth; they are blameless." (Revelation
14:1-5) And the yang of the Seed is the Bridegroom. For as
the Bridegroom said, "the attendants of the bridegroom cannot
mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them, can they? But
95
the days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from
them, and then they will fast." (Matthew 9:15) And as the
witness testified of the Bridegroom, "He who has the bride is
the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands
and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom's
voice. So this joy of mine has been made full." (John 3:29)
And the Bride and the Bridegroom shall unite to form one
body and one spirit. "For we are members of His body, of His
flesh and of His bones. "For this reason a man shall leave his
father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall
become one flesh." This is a great mystery, but I speak
concerning Christ and the church." (Ephesians 5:30-32) "For
even as the body is one and yet has many members, and all the
members of the body, though they are many, are one body, so
also is Christ. For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one
body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we
were all made to drink of one Spirit."(1 Corinthians 12:12-13)
And through the union of the Bridegroom and the Bride, the
City shall be complete. And the city shall have an area of 144
million stadia, and its walls shall be 144 cubits thick. For "the
city was laid out like a square, as long as it was wide. He
measured the city with the rod and found it to be 12,000 stadia
in length, and as wide and high as it is long. He measured its
wall and it was 144 cubits thick, by man's measurement,
which the angel was using." (Revelation 21:16-17) "And I did
not see a temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty
and the Lamb are its temple. The city does not need the sun or
the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and
the Lamb is its lamp. The nations will walk by its light, and
the kings of the earth will bring their splendor into it. On no
96
day will its gates ever be shut, for there will be no night
there. The glory and honor of the nations will be brought into
it. Nothing impure will ever enter it, nor will anyone who does
what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are
written in the Lamb's book of life." (Revelation 21:22-27)
97
XX
Passive Action - Active Harmony
Western philosophy champions individualism by controlling

one's destiny through one's actions. But contrary to this
"active" philosophy, Taoism maintains that by denying
oneself, your every need will be fulfilled. For as Lao Tse
wrote, "if you want to become whole, let yourself be partial. If
you want to become straight, let yourself be crooked. If you
want to become full, let yourself be empty. If you want to be
reborn, let yourself die. If you want to be given everything,
give everything up." (Tao-te-Ching) And the Son also
promised that by losing your life, your reward shall be eternal
life. For "if anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny
himself, and take up his cross and follow Me. For whoever
wishes to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life
for My sake will find it." (Matthew 16:24-25)
And this doctrine of self-denial entails proper meditation, for

through meditation one is given insight. For "if you open
yourself to the Tao, you are at one with the Tao and you can
embody it completely. If you open yourself to insight, you are
at one with insight and you can use it completely." (Tao-te-
Ching) And we are instructed to meditate upon God's
commands, for through this we receive God's wisdom and
knowledge. For "this Book of the Law shall not depart from
your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that
98
you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For
then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will
have good success." (Joshua 1:8)
But by submitting to the desires of the flesh, that which is

gained shall fail to endure. For "he who stands on tiptoe
doesn't stand firm. He who rushes ahead doesn't go far. He
who tries to shine dims his own light. He who defines himself
can't know who he really is. He who has power over others
can't empower himself. He who clings to his work will create
nothing that endures." (Tao-te-Ching) For men were warned
not to hoard the earth's treasures, for their mammon will rust
and burn in the fire. "Do not lay up for yourselves treasures
on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break
in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven,
where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not
break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart
will be also." (Matthew 6:19-21)
And regardless of the action that we take, all things will be

changed, and not one thing left undone. For "Tao is eternally
inactive, and yet it leaves nothing undone. If kings and princes
could but hold fast to this principle, all things would work out
their own reformation." (Tao-te-Ching) And regardless of
the authority to whom we are subject, all authority is subject
to God. For "every person is to be in subjection to the
governing authorities. For there is no authority except from
God, and those which exist are established by God." (Romans
13:1) For in the kingdom to come, all authority shall be
subject to the Son of Man. "For He has not put the world to
come, of which we speak, in subjection to angels. But one
99
testified in a certain place, saying: "What is man that You are
mindful of him, or the son of man that You take care of him?
You have made him a little lower than the angels; You have
crowned him with glory and honor, and set him over the
works of Your hands. You have put all things in subjection
under his feet." (Hebrews 2:5-8)
Thus our actions should be in harmony with God. For when

the people are in harmony with God, then the earth is fully
replenished. For "in harmony with the Tao, the sky is clear
and spacious, the earth is solid and full, all creature flourish
together, content with the way they are, endlessly repeating
themselves, endlessly renewed." (Tao-te-Ching) And we are
in harmony with God by trusting in His Word and His ways.
Thus “be in harmony and at peace with God. In this way you
will have prosperity. Accept instruction from his mouth, and
keep his words in your heart." (Job 22:21-22) And through
our harmony with God, our will is in harmony with the Spirit.
For "the Father who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is
saying, for the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with
God’s own will. And we know that God causes everything to
work together for the good of those who love God and are
called according to his purpose for them." (Romans 8:27-28)
But man has not acted in harmony, but has acted with discord
and malice. Thus man shall be left to his own device, the
means of his own self-destruction. For "when man interferes
with the Tao, the sky becomes filthy, the earth becomes
depleted, the equilibrium crumbles, creatures become extinct."
(Tao-te-Ching) And as Oppenheimer, the director of the
Manhattan Project, observed of the first nuclear bomb, "if the
100
radiance of a thousand suns were to burst forth at once in the
sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am
become Death, the shatterer of worlds." And when the
radiance of the Son departs, then disorder shall rule.
(Addendum 8: Entropy - the Law of Satan) "Immediately
after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened,
and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from
heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then
the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all
the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of
Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great
glory." (Matthew 24:29-30)
101
XXI
The Three Treasures
Taoism cherishes three treasures as outlined by the Tao-te-

Ching, and these are compassion, moderation, and humility.
For as Lao Tse taught, "I have just three things to teach:
compassion, moderation, humility. These three are your
greatest treasures. Simple in actions and in thoughts, you
return to the source of being, you reconcile all beings in the
world." (Tao-te-Ching) And as the Lord's disciples were
taught, "as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe
yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness
and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever
grievances you may have against one another. forgive as the
Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love,
which binds them all together in perfect unity." (Colossians
3:12-14)
Compassion is the mind and the will to empathize with the

suffering of others. For when we understand how others
suffer, then we have the will to respond in kind. For as Lao
Tse explained, "the Master views the parts with compassion,
because he understands the whole." (Tao-te-Ching) And
Christ treated man with compassion, for he understood the
suffering of the people. For "seeing the people, He felt
compassion for them, because they were distressed and
102
dispirited like sheep without a shepherd." (Matthew 9:36)
And the Son urged us to do the same. "But go and learn what
this means: 'I desire compassion and not sacrifice.' For I did
not come to call the righteous, but sinners." (Matthew 9:13)
Moderation is the commitment to abstain from overindulgence

and excess. And moderation leads to generosity, for the result
is that one has the means to help others. For as Lao Tse said,
"the Master has no possessions. The more he does for others,
the happier he is. The more he gives to others, the wealthier he
is." (Tao-te-Ching) And as the Son warned us, "do not store
up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust
destroy, and where thieves break in and steal." (Matthew 6:19)
But He taught us to give to those in need, so that the Father
might reward us in kind. "So when you give to the needy, do
not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the
synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by men. I tell
you the truth, they have received their reward in full. But
when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know
what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in
secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will
reward you." (Matthew 6:2-4)
Humility is modesty in behavior, attitude, and spirit; free from

arrogance or pride. For as Lao Tse taught, "all streams flow
to the sea because it is lower than they are. Humility gives it
its power. If you want to govern the people, you must place
yourself below them. If you want to lead the people, you must
learn how to follow them. The Master is above the people, and
no one feels oppressed." (Tao-te-Ching) And the Son taught
us how to live with humility. "When you are invited by
103
someone to a wedding feast, do not take the place of honor,
for someone more distinguished than you may have been
invited by him, and he who invited you both will come and
say to you, 'Give your place to this man,' and then in disgrace
you proceed to occupy the last place. But when you are
invited, go and recline at the last place, so that when the one
who has invited you comes, he may say to you, 'Friend, move
up higher'; then you will have honor in the sight of all who are
at the table with you. For everyone who exalts himself will be
humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted." (Luke
14:8-11)
Thus Taoism encourages pursuing and perfecting these three

principles. For by seeking them we become one with God.
"Simple in actions and in thoughts, you return to the source of
being. Patient with both friends and enemies, you accord with
the way things are. Compassionate toward yourself, you
reconcile all beings in this world." (Tao-te-Ching) And
through our love and compassion, we become one mind and
one body. "Finally, all of you be of one mind, having
compassion for one another; love as brothers, be
tenderhearted, be humble; not returning evil for evil or reviling
for reviling, but on the contrary blessing, knowing that you
were called to this, that you may inherit a blessing. "
104
He who would love life And see good days,
Let him refrain his tongue from evil,
And his lips from speaking deceit.
Let him turn away from evil and do good;
Let him seek peace and pursue it.

For the eyes of the LORD are on the righteous,
And His ears are open to their prayers;
But the face of the LORD is against those who do evil.
1 Peter 3:8-12

Confucian Philosophy
Confucianism is a philosophical system based upon the

teachings of the philosopher Kung Fu Tse (551–478 BC).
And this philosophy focuses on learning from the past. And
many of its texts, including the Analects of Confucius
(Lunyu), are parables which are allegories of the truth. And
the Son taught in parables, that the people might learn of the
Truth. For as the Word revealed to His disciples: "to you it
has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of
heaven, but to them it has not been granted. For whoever has,
to him more shall be given, and he will have an abundance;
but whoever does not have, even what he has shall be taken
away from him. Therefore I speak to them in parables;
because while seeing they do not see, and while hearing they
do not hear, nor do they understand." (Matthew 13:11-13)
Confucianism seeks to achieve perfection through discipline.

And as the Son was perfect, so He taught His disciples to be
perfect. For "having been perfected, He became the author of
eternal salvation to all who obey Him, called by God as High
Priest according to the order of Melchizedek." (Hebrews 5:9-
10) And as disciples of Christ, through the process of
sanctification we achieve perfection. "For by one offering He
has perfected forever those who are being sanctified."
(Hebrews 10:14) And as His disciples, we become perfect by
106
living as He lived. For "whoever keeps His word, truly the
love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are
in Him. He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to
walk just as He walked." (1 John 2:5-6) Thus we become
perfected, for His love abides within us, as our love abides in
Him. For "if we love one another, God abides in us, and His
love has been perfected in us. By this we know that we abide
in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His
Spirit. And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent
the Son as Savior of the world. Whoever confesses that Jesus
is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. And we
have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is
love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in
him." (1 John 4:12-16)
And Confucian philosophy is learned through the tenets of the

past. And learning requires both understanding and applying
these lessons. For “he who learns but does not think is lost.
He who thinks but does not learn is in great danger.” (Lunyu
2.15) And the Lord taught that before we can teach others, we
must understand these lessons and apply them to ourselves.
For "a blind man cannot guide a blind man, can he? Will they
not both fall into a pit? A pupil is not above his teacher; but
everyone, after he has been fully trained, will be like his
teacher. Why do you look at the speck that is in your brother's
eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how
can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me take out the speck
that is in your eye,' when you yourself do not see the log that
is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of
107
your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the
speck that is in your brother's eye." (Luke 6:39-42)
And Confucian philosophy emphasizes the concept of ren, a

response of compassion and love for others. For as Confucius
taught, “what you do not wish for yourself, do not do to
others.” And ren requires self-denial and sacrifice. For “since
you yourself desire standing then help others achieve it, since
you yourself desire success then help others attain it.” (Lunyu
12.2, 6.30) And the Son taught His disciples to have
compassion towards others. For "the kingdom of heaven is
like a certain king who wanted to settle accounts with his
servants. And when he had begun to settle accounts, one was
brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents. But as he
was not able to pay, his master commanded that he be sold,
with his wife and children and all that he had, and that
payment be made. The servant therefore fell down before
him, saying, 'Master, have patience with me, and I will pay
you all.' Then the master of that servant was moved with
compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt. But that
servant went out and found one of his fellow servants who
owed him a hundred denarii; and he laid hands on him and
took him by the throat, saying, 'Pay me what you owe!' So his
fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him, saying,
'Have patience with me, and I will pay you all.' And he would
not, but went and threw him into prison till he should pay the
debt. So when his fellow servants saw what had been done,
they were very grieved, and came and told their master all that
had been done. Then his master, after he had called him, said
to him, 'You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt
108
because you begged me. Should you not also have had
compassion on your fellow servant, just as I had pity on you?'
And his master was angry, and delivered him to the torturers
until he should pay all that was due to him. So My heavenly
Father also will do to you if each of you, from his heart, does
not forgive his brother his trespasses." (Matthew 18:23-35)
Thus Confucian philosophy entails learning through

discipline, and understanding and applying the teachings of
old. But more importantly, Confucianism emphasizes love
and compassion towards all men. For God's ancient ways are
of love and compassion. And from these faithful tenets, His
disciples can learn of His ways, and understand His truths, and
follow His path to eternal salvation. For as the psalmist
prayed:
109
Show me Your ways, O LORD;
Teach me Your paths.
Lead me in Your truth and teach me,
For You are the God of my salvation;
On You I wait all the day.
Remember, O LORD, Your tender mercies and Your
lovingkindnesses,
For they are from of old.
Psalms 25:4-6

Knowledge and Truth
Knowledge is gained through learning and thought. For as

Confucius said, "learning without thought is labor lost;
thought without learning is perilous." (Lunyu 2.15) And what
is knowledge? "This is knowledge -- When you know a thing,
to hold that you know it; and when you do not know a thing,
to allow that you do not know it." (Lunyu 2.17) And the wise
man gains knowledge, but the fool despises wisdom and
instruction. For "to know wisdom and instruction, to discern
the sayings of understanding, to receive instruction in wise
behavior, righteousness, justice and equity; to give prudence
to the naive, to the youth knowledge and discretion, a wise
man will hear and increase in learning, and a man of
understanding will acquire wise counsel, to understand a
proverb and a figure, the words of the wise and their riddles.
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; fools
despise wisdom and instruction." (Proverbs 1:2-7)
And knowledge is acting according to that which is retained

through memory. For "there may be those who act without
knowing why. I do not do so. Hearing much and selecting
what is good and following it; seeing much and keeping it in
memory − this is the second style of knowledge." (Lunyu 7.27)
And Christ gave us knowledge upon which to act, for He gave
us His Word to remember. And at the end, every act shall be
111
judged by the Word. For as He said "therefore everyone who
hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared
to a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain
fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed
against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been
founded on the rock. Everyone who hears these words of
Mine and does not act on them, will be like a foolish man who
built his house on the sand. The rain fell, and the floods came,
and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and it
fell—and great was its fall." (Matthew 7:24-27)
And the objective of knowledge is truth. And the truth for the
wise man is life. For "the object of the superior man is truth.
Food is not his object. There is plowing; even in that there is
sometimes want. So with learning; emolument may be found
in it. The superior man is anxious lest he should not get truth;
he is not anxious lest poverty should come upon him." (Lunyu
15.31) And we pray to God for the truth. "Teach me Your
way, O LORD; I will walk in Your truth; unite my heart to fear
Your name." (Psalms 86:11) And the truth for the wise man
is life. "Will they not go astray who devise evil? But kindness
and truth will be to those who devise good." (Proverbs 14:22)
And the greatest of all knowledge is the Word. For the Word
is the Truth and Life. For as the Word testified "I am the
way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father
but through Me." (John 14:6) And through the Spirit of Truth,
we have knowledge and remembrance of the Word. For when
"He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the
truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but
whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you
112
what is to come. He will glorify Me, for He will take of Mine
and will disclose it to you. All things that the Father has are
Mine; therefore I said that He takes of Mine and will disclose
it to you." (John 16:13-15)
But those who fail to seek knowledge should be greatly

disdained. For as "Confucius said, 'Those who are born with
the possession of knowledge are the highest class of men.
Those who learn, and so, readily, get possession of
knowledge, are the next. Those who are dull and stupid, and
yet compass the learning, are another class next to these. As to
those who are dull and stupid and yet do not learn;−− they are
the lowest of the people." (Lunyu 16.9) For "a senseless man
has no knowledge, nor does a stupid man understand this:
That when the wicked sprouted up like grass and all who did
iniquity flourished, it was only that they might be destroyed
forevermore." (Psalms 92:6-7) For the day shall soon come
when man's ignorance will be destroyed. "For My people are
foolish, they know Me not; they are stupid children and have
no understanding. They are shrewd to do evil, but to do good
they do not know ... thus says the LORD, 'The whole land shall
be a desolation, yet I will not execute a complete destruction.
For this the earth shall mourn and the heavens above be dark,
because I have spoken, I have purposed, and I will not change
My mind, nor will I turn from it.'" (Jeremiah 4:22-28)
113

The Shepherd
Leading is best accomplished by governing the people through

virtue. For as Confucius advised, "if the people be led by
laws, and uniformity sought to be given them by punishments,
they will try to avoid the punishment, but have no sense of
shame. If they be led by virtue, and uniformity sought to be
given them by the rules of propriety, they will have the sense
of shame, and moreover will become good." (Lunyu 2.3) For
God's people were first governed through the Law of Moses.
For as the people were commanded, "remember the law of
Moses My servant, even the statutes and ordinances which I
commanded him in Horeb for all Israel." (Malachi 4:4) But
although they were given God's laws, the people failed to do
what was right. Thus the Father sent His only Son with the
Word. And it was through the virtue of the Son, that the
people learned to do what was right. "For of His fullness we
have all received, and grace upon grace. For the Law was
Jesus Christ." (John 1:16-17)
And the most important requirement for governing the people

is confidence in their ruler. For as "the Master said, 'The
requisites of government are that there be sufficiency of food,
sufficiency of military equipment, and the confidence of the
people in their ruler.' Tsze−kung said, 'If it cannot be helped,
114
and one of these must be dispensed with, which of the three
should be foregone first?' 'The military equipment,' said the
Master. Tsze−kung again a sked, 'If it cannot be helped, and
one of the remaining two must be dispensed with, which of
them should be foregone?' The Master answered, 'Part with the
food. From of old, death has been the lot of all men; but if the
people have no faith in their rulers, there is no standing for the
state.'" (Lunyu12.7)
And confidence was given to God's people, for having faith in

all of His promises. For the Lord gives us confidence in the
face of our enemies. "Do not be afraid of sudden fear nor of
the onslaught of the wicked when it comes; for the LORD will
be your confidence and will keep your foot from being
caught." (Proverbs 3:25-26) And the Lord gives us confidence
through famine and drought. And "blessed is the man who
trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him. He will be
like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the
stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are
always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and
never fails to bear fruit." (Jeremiah 17:7-8) And the Lord
gives us confidence in the government of His people. "For a
child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; and the
government will rest on His shoulders; and His name will be
called Wonderful Counselor, mighty God, Eternal Father,
Prince of Peace." (Isaiah 9:6) For the Son of Man "is the one
whom God exalted to His right hand as a Prince and a Savior,
to grant repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins." (Acts
5:31)
115
And the key to governing is to rectify that which is wrong.
For "to govern means to rectify. If you lead on the people with
correctness, who will dare not to be correct?" (Lunyu 12.17)
And the Father sent His Son to rectify man's errors. For "as
many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become
children of God, even to those who believe in His name, who
were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the
will of man, but of God." (John 1:12-13) But man has refused
God's staff of correction. "O LORD, do not Your eyes look for
truth? You have smitten them, but they did not weaken; You
have consumed them, but they refused to take correction. They
have made their faces harder than rock; they have refused to
repent." (Jeremiah 5:3) Thus the Lord shall rectify the nations
with His rod of recompense. "Now upon you I will soon pour
out My fury, and spend My anger upon you; I will judge you
according to your ways, and I will repay you for all your
abominations. My eye will not spare, nor will I have pity; I
will repay you according to your ways, and your abominations
will be in your midst. Then you shall know that I am the LORD
who strikes." (Ezekiel 7:8-9)
And the leadership depends on the virtue of its leader. For as

"the Master said, 'When a prince's personal conduct is correct,
his government is effective without the issuing of orders. If his
personal conduct is not correct, he may issue orders, but they
will not be followed." (Lunyu 13.6) For the Shepherd would
come to gather His sheep. And He would lead them with the
greatest virtue which is His love. For as He said, "I am the
good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for the
sheep. He who is a hired hand, and not a shepherd, who is not
116
the owner of the sheep, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the
sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them.
He flees because he is a hired hand and is not concerned about
the sheep. I am the good shepherd, and I know My own and
My own know Me, even as the Father knows Me and I know
the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep." (John 10:11-
15) And the Shepherd shall return to gather what was left
behind. For as He promised "I have other sheep, which are
not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will hear My
voice; and they will become one flock with one shepherd. For
this reason the Father loves Me, because I lay down My life so
that I may take it again. No one has taken it away from Me,
but I lay it down on My own initiative. I have authority to lay
it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This
commandment I received from My Father." (John 10:16-18)
And at the end there shall be one government. And at the end
we shall be one people. For "behold, the tabernacle of God is
among men, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be
His people, and God Himself will be among them, and He will
wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer
be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying,
or pain; the first things have passed away. And He who sits
on the throne said, 'Behold, I am making all things new.'"
(Revelation 21:3-5)
117
XXV
The Righteous Man
A man of virtue is most concerned with matters of righteousness.

For as Confucius said, "the mind of the superior man is
conversant with righteousness; the mind of the mean man is
conversant with gain." (Lunyu 4.16) And what is
righteousness? Righteousness is to uphold the execution of
justice and the laws of God. For "the mouth of the righteous
utters wisdom, and his tongue speaks justice. The law of his
God is in his heart; his steps do not slip." (Psalms 37:30-31)
And it is not sufficient to live in righteousness, but to delight
in it as the fulfillment of justice. For "they who know the truth
are not equal to those who love it, and they who love it are not
equal to those who delight in it." (Lunyu 6.18) For as is said
of the righteous man, "his delight is in the law of the LORD,
and in His law he meditates day and night." (Psalms 1:2) And
the righteous man does not transgress what is right. For "the
superior man, extensively studying all learning, and keeping
himself under the restraint of the rules of propriety, may thus
likewise not overstep what is right." (Lunyu 6.25) For he
knows that God's precepts are always right. And "the law of
the LORD is perfect, restoring the soul; the testimony of the
LORD is sure, making wise the simple. The precepts of the
LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the
LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes." (Psalms 19:7-8)
118
And perfect virtue requires abandoning self interest, and
focusing on the propriety of righteousness. For "to subdue
one's self and return to propriety, is perfect virtue. If a man
can for one day subdue himself and return to propriety, all
under heaven will ascribe perfect virtue to him." (Lunyu 12.1)
And perfect righteousness and virtue were exemplified by
Christ. For He taught us to turn from our own selfish ways,
and to stand in righteousness and truth. For "in reference to
your former manner of life, you lay aside the old self, which is
being corrupted in accordance with the lusts of deceit, and that
you be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and put on the new
self, which in the likeness of God has been created in
righteousness and holiness of the truth." (Ephesians 4:22-24)
And the virtuous man brings forth righteousness with humility

and sincerity. For "the superior man in everything considers
righteousness to be essential. He performs it according to the
rules of propriety. He brings it forth in humility. He completes
it with sincerity. This is indeed a superior man." (Lunyu 15.17)
For humility is knowing that all things come from the Father,
and sincerity is serving all men in truth. "Seek the LORD, all
you humble of the earth who have carried out His ordinances;
seek righteousness, seek humility. Perhaps you will be hidden
in the day of the LORD'S anger." (Zephaniah 2:3) And in
humility and sincerity we serve God with fear, knowing that
all things come from the Father, and knowing that He is the
source of the truth. "Now, therefore, fear the Lord and serve
Him in sincerity and truth". (Joshua 24:14) For "the reward of
humility and the fear of the LORD are riches, honor and life."
(Proverbs 22:4)
119
And the righteous man treats all men with reciprocity. For "'is
there one word which may serve as a rule of practice for all
one's life?' The Master said, 'Is not reciprocity such a word?
What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others.'"
(Lunyu 15.23) And the Law of Moses taught men how to live
with reciprocity. "You shall not hate your fellow countryman
in your heart; you may surely reprove your neighbor, but shall
not incur sin because of him. You shall not take vengeance,
nor bear any grudge against the sons of your people, but you
shall love your neighbor as yourself; I am the LORD."
(Leviticus 19:17-18) And the Lord taught His servants how to
love with reciprocity, for as He said "the second law is like it,
'YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF." " (Matthew
22:39)
Thus the righteous man lives in sincerity and humility, and

with love and compassion in his heart. Therefore, as
righteous men "bear with each other and forgive whatever
grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the
Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love,
which binds them all together in perfect unity." (Colossians
3:13-14)

Shinto Philosophy on Purity
Completed May 2, 2010
The Shinto philosophy is the traditional philosophy of the people

of Japan. And the symbol for Shinto is a gate which represents
the transition from the physical into the immortal realm. And in
fact, the word Shinto is derived from the Chinese word shin which
means "the way of the gods." And although the Shinto beliefs are
as diverse as its people, unlike other philosophies, it does not have
a single founder or doctrine.
And the Shinto philosophy traditionally focuses on purity. And

due to their emphasis on spiritual and physical purity, many of
their ceremonies are symbolic acts of purification. Thus the
Shinto philosophy envisions the world as a dichotomy
between pure versus unclean, rather than as a metaphysical
struggle of good versus evil. For as the Shinto text speaks of
the foulness of the unclean, and the consequential and
obligatory act of purification. "Nay! hideous! I have come to a
hideous and polluted land - I have! So I will perform the
purification of my august person." (The Purification of the
121
August Person, Kojiki) And God's people were likewise
instructed by God, to remove the unclean from the clean. For
as the high priests were instructed, "do not drink wine or
strong drink, neither you nor your sons with you, when you
come into the tent of meeting, so that you will not die—it is a
perpetual statute throughout your generations— and so as to
make a distinction between the holy and the profane, and
between the unclean and the clean, and so as to teach the sons
of Israel all the statutes which the LORD has spoken to them
through Moses." (Leviticus 10:9-11) And God's people were
commanded to eat only what was clean. For "this is the law
regarding the animal and the bird, and every living thing that
moves in the waters and everything that swarms on the earth,
to make a distinction between the unclean and the clean, and
between the edible creature and the creature which is not to be
eaten." (Leviticus 11:46-47) And the people were
commanded to separate those who were unclean from the
clean. For "this is the law for any mark of leprosy—even for a
scale, and for the leprous garment or house, and for a swelling,
and for a scab, and for a bright spot— to teach when they are
unclean and when they are clean. This is the law of leprosy."
(Leviticus 14:54-57)
And in the Shinto philosophy, through these acts of

purification man hopes to reach the divine. And although these
rituals are primarily symbolic, they are expected to be
accompanied by a purification of the inner heart. And the
rituals of God's people applied directly to the purity of their
external condition. For the altar was purified with the blood of
a bull. "Sacrifice a bull each day as a sin offering to make
122
atonement. Purify the altar by making atonement for it, and
anoint it to consecrate it. For seven days make atonement for
the altar and consecrate it. Then the altar will be most holy,
and whatever touches it will be holy." (Exodus 29:36-37) And
on the eve of the Passover, the priests were purified by the
blood of the lamb. "For the priests and the Levites had
purified themselves together; all of them were pure. Then
they slaughtered the Passover lamb for all the exiles, both for
their brothers the priests and for themselves." (Ezra 6:20)
But the Son warned that the inner condition of the priests was
unclean. "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For
you are like whitewashed tombs which on the outside appear
beautiful, but inside they are full of dead men's bones and all
uncleanness. So you, too, outwardly appear righteous to men,
but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness."
(Matthew 23:27-28) But the Son taught the people how to
make themselves clean. For it is not what is eaten, but that
which comes out which makes man unclean. "Do you not
understand that whatever goes into the man from outside
cannot defile him, because it does not go into his heart, but
into his stomach, and is eliminated?" And He was saying,
"That which proceeds out of the man, that is what defiles the
man. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed the
evil thoughts, fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries, deeds
of coveting and wickedness, as well as deceit, sensuality,
envy, slander, pride and foolishness. All these evil things
proceed from within and defile the man." (Mark 7:18-2) Thus,
we follow His instruction to make our hearts pure. For "we
know that when He appears, we will be like Him, because we
123
will see Him just as He is. And everyone who has this hope
fixed on Him purifies himself, just as He is pure." (1 John 3:2-
3)
And the way of purity is revealed by our actions. For "even a

child is known by his actions, by whether his conduct is pure
and right." (Proverbs 20:11) For the purity that God sees is
revealed through our actions. And the "religion that God our
Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after
orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from
being polluted by the world." (James 1:27) For the Lord sees
those who are pure in heart. For "he who has clean hands and
a pure heart, who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, nor
sworn deceitfully. He shall receive blessing from the LORD,
and righteousness from the God of his salvation." (Psalms
24:4-5) And those who are pure in heart shall see God. For
"blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God."
(Matthew 5:8) And the pure in heart shall be heard by their
King. For "he who loves purity of heart and has grace on his
lips, the king will be his friend." (Proverbs 22:1) And at the
end, the most pure in heart shall be found blameless. For the
purest in heart are the Lord's firstfruits. And "they sang a new
song before the throne and before the four living creatures and
the elders. No one could learn the song except the 144,000
who had been redeemed from the earth. These are those who
did not defile themselves with women, for they kept
themselves pure. They follow the Lamb wherever he goes.
They were purchased from among men and offered as
firstfruits to God and the Lamb. No lie was found in their
mouths; they are blameless." (Revelation 14:3-5)

Zoroastrianism - The Choice
Completed June 3, 2010
Zoroastrianism is a philosophical system that is based upon

the teachings of Zoroastrian (Zarathustra) during the twelfth
century BC. His philosophical ideologies had a bearing upon
the ideological landscape of Iran prior to the Islamic
revolution. And Zoroastrians believe in one God who is
fundamentally good, but has an "alter ego" which is chaotic
and destructive. For Zoroastrians are inclined to view this
world dualistically, as a battlefield between Order and Chaos.
And the force of Order is termed asha which means "truth"
and "order". And in contrast the force of Chaos is termed druj
which means "lies" and "disorder". Thus Zoroastrianism
views this world as a dichotomy and battlefield between good
and evil.
And in the beginning the universe was created by one Maker

who is God. For "in the beginning God created the heavens
and the earth." (Genesis 1:1) And through Him all things were
created and are held together. "For by Him all things were
created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible,
whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all
things have been created through Him and for Him. He is
before all things, and in Him all things hold together."
(Colossians 1:16-17) And He is the power that brings order to
the universe. For He is "the Lord, who gives the sun for light
125
by day and the fixed order of the moon and the stars for light
by night, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar; the Lord
of hosts is His name." (Jeremiah 31:35) And at the beginning
all things were good. For as God said to the man, "'Behold, I
have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the surface
of all the earth, and every tree which has fruit yielding seed; it
shall be food for you; and to every beast of the earth and to
every bird of the sky and to everything that moves on the earth
which has life, I have given every green plant for food'; and it
was so. God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very
good." (Genesis 1:29-31)
Yet this present world is not fundamentally good, but is a

struggle between good and evil. For it was at the beginning
that "now the two primal Spirits, who reveal themselves in
vision as Twins, are the Better and the Bad, in thought and
word and action. And between these two the wise ones chose
right, the foolish not so. And when these twain Spirits came
together in the beginning, they created Life and Not-Life, and
that at the last Worst Existence shall be to the followers of the
Lie, but the Best Existence to him that follows Right."
(Zarathustra)
And it was through the Lie in the Garden, that all men would
partake in life's struggle. For evil would originate from the
first Lie in the Garden. "Now the serpent was more crafty
than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And
he said to the woman, "Indeed, has God said, 'You shall not
eat from any tree of the garden'?" The woman said to the
serpent, 'From the fruit of the trees of the garden we may
126
eat; but from the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the
garden, God has said, 'You shall not eat from it or touch it, or
you will die.' ' The serpent said to the woman, 'You surely
will not die! For God knows that in the day you eat from it
your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing
good and evil.' " (Genesis 3:1-5)
And man chose to do what was evil, for he chose to disobey

God's commands, and to eat and bear fruit from that Lie. "So
when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it
was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one
wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband
with her, and he ate." (Genesis 3:6) And from his first choice
in the Garden, all men must now choose good or evil. For
God loves goodness and truth; but He despises falsehood and
lies. Then "why do you boast in evil, O mighty man? The
lovingkindness of God endures all day long. Your tongue
devises destruction, like a sharp razor, O worker of
deceit. You love evil more than good, falsehood more than
speaking what is right." (Psalms 52:1-3) But all things that
are good come from God in goodness and truth. "For the Lord
is good; His mercy is everlasting, and His truth endures to all
generations." (Psalms 100:5) And those who are good seek to
speak truth. For "do they not go astray who devise evil? But
mercy and truth belong to those who devise good." (Proverbs
14:22) And His children bear fruits of the Spirit which are
goodness and truth. Thus "walk as children of Light for the
fruit of the Light consists in all goodness and righteousness
and truth". (Ephesians 5:8-9)
127
And order is the most valuable attribute of goodness. For
"order is the best good there is. There are wished-for things in
the wish, for this one when one’s Order is for the best Order."
(Zoroastrian prayer) Thus the greatest duty is to serve the
Order of God. For God is the One who brings order to this
universe. "Thus says the Lord, who gives the sun for light by
day and the fixed order of the moon and the stars for light by
night, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar; the Lord of
hosts is His name." (Jeremiah 31:35) And that which is
ordered comes from God from above. But that which is
disordered comes from Satan below. And "this wisdom is not
that which comes down from above, but is earthly, natural,
demonic. For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there
is disorder and every evil thing." (James 3:15-16)
Yet God has brought order from chaos and disorder. For God
gave His people these orders from at first: bring the firstfruits
to the altar. For "as soon as the order went out, the Israelites
generously gave the firstfruits of their grain, new wine, oil and
honey and all that the fields produced. They brought a great
amount, a tithe of everything." (2 Chronicles 31:5) And the
Son would come to bring order to His flock. For as He said
"My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow
Me; and I give eternal life to them, and they will never perish;
and no one will snatch them out of My hand." (John 10:27-28)
And the Son shall return to gather the rest. "For I have other
sheep, which are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and
they will hear My voice; and they will become one flock with
one shepherd. For this reason the Father loves Me, because I
lay down My life so that I may take it again." (John 10:16-17)
128
And His last order shall be: throw the tares in the fire. For as
His disciples were ordered, "allow both to grow together until
the harvest; and in the time of the harvest I will say to the
reapers, "First gather up the tares and bind them in bundles to
burn them up; but gather the wheat into my barn." " (Matthew
13:30) For this shall be the order as ordained for all time, as it
has been ordered by our choice of good over evil, and by our
choice of life over death.
For since by man came death, by Man also came the

resurrection of the dead. 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. The last enemy that will be
destroyed is death. For "He has put all things under
His feet."

What is Hell?
Zoroastrian philosophy speaks of the metaphysical transition

from the earthly realm into the immortal realm. And many
philosophies have glorified the realm of the heavens, but
Zarathustra was the first philosopher to expound on the realm
of hell. For as the Zoroastrian texts speak of the "house of
deceit", "the deceitful of bad rule, bad action, bad word, of bad
religious view, bad thought: the souls come to meet them with
foul food and they will be welcome guests in the house of
deceit." (Gatha Y.49.11) And it is by man's appetite for evil,
that he is sent down to hell. For "indeed, because he
transgresses by wine, he is a proud man, and he does not stay
at home. Because he enlarges his desire as hell, and he is like
death, and cannot be satisfied, he gathers to himself all nations
and heaps up for himself all peoples." (Habakkuk 2:5) And it
is through man's sinful appetite, that he enters the house of
destruction. For "Hell and Destruction are never full; so the
eyes of man are never satisfied." (Proverbs 27:20)
And Zarathustra spoke of man's judgment, that each man must

meet the accountant. And he is the one who judges deceit. For
"their own soul and their own religious view will recoil from
them when they will have reached the place of the account-
keeper’s bridge, and they will remain for all time guests
attached to the house of deceit." (Gatha Y.46.11) And man
130
was forewarned to fear for his soul, for God is the One to
judge each man's soul. "I say to you, My friends, do not be
afraid of those who kill the body and after that have no more
that they can do. But I will warn you whom to fear: fear the
One who, after He has killed, has authority to cast into hell;
yes, I tell you, fear Him!" (Luke 12:4-6) And the rulers of hell
are anxious to claim each man's soul. For "hell from beneath
is excited about you, to meet you at your coming; it stirs up
the dead for you, all the chief ones of the earth; it has raised up
from their thrones all the kings of the nations." (Isaiah 14:9)
For the house of despair is a foul and desolate place. For “it is
below, deep, and underground, most dark, most fetid, and
most terrible, most unwanted, and worst, the place and the
dwelling of demons and she-demons”. (Dadestan 26.4) And
its rulers are anxious to inflict great physical pain and mental
distress on their subjects. For they are free to administer “pain
and trouble and devouring and many kinds of stench, and
biting and tearing and producing of all evil and discomfort”.
(Dadestan 40.4) And as the Son warned of man's judgment in
hell. "If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for
you to enter into life maimed, rather than having two hands, to
go to hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched -- where
'Their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.' And if
your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to
enter life lame, rather than having two feet, to be cast into hell,
into the fire that shall never be quenched -- where 'Their worm
does not die, and the fire is not quenched.' And if your eye
causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the
kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to
131
be cast into hell fire -- where 'Their worm does not die, and
the fire is not quenched.' (Mark 9:42-48)
But though they face judgment in hell, by His endless love our
Lord is forgiving. For though time in hell is "forever", even
forever is limited by time. For at the end of time, all souls
shall be risen, to face the final judgment. And by the
purification of fire, they shall be “again clothed in a garment
of the same substance, and they enjoy perfect bliss eternally
and without interruption.” (Denkard III.272) But before the
Son of Man returns, all souls from hell must be resurrected.
"For an hour is coming, in which all who are in the tombs will
hear His voice, and will come forth; those who did the good
deeds to a resurrection of life, those who committed the evil
deeds to a resurrection of judgment." (John 5:28-29) And just
as God shall raise every soul for judgment, so shall He raise
every angel for judgment. "For if God did not spare the
angels who sinned, but cast them down to hell and delivered
them into chains of darkness, to be reserved for judgment ...
then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of
temptations and to reserve the unjust under punishment for the
day of judgment, and especially those who walk according to
the flesh in the lust of uncleanness and despise authority." (2
Peter 2:4-10) And even Satan will be cast to the earth, to face
the Lord's judgment and wrath. For "the devil, who deceived
them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the
beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be
tormented day and night forever and ever." (Revelation 20:10)
132
And at the last judgment, all souls shall be purified by metal
from the fire. For in the Zoroastrian text, the metal for fire is
gold from the saints. But the metal that is molten shall be
scalding from the fire. For as Moses foretold, both earth and
hell shall be set on fire. "For a fire is kindled by my anger, and
shall burn to the lowest hell; it shall consume the earth with
her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains."
(Deuteronomy 32:22) And as the Son had promised, many
will be cast in the fire. "So it will be at the end of the age. The
angels will come forth, separate the wicked from among the
just, and cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be
wailing and gnashing of teeth." (Matthew13:49-50) And the
Son of Man shall judge each man's deeds. "And the sea gave
up the dead which were in it, and death and Hades gave up the
dead which were in them; and they were judged, every one of
them according to their deeds. Then death and Hades were
thrown into the lake of fire. If anyone's name was not found
written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire."
(Revelation 20:13-14-15)
133
The Purifier
"Behold, I am going to send My messenger, and he will clear

the way before Me. And the Lord, whom you seek, will
suddenly come to His temple; and the messenger of the
covenant, in whom you delight, behold, He is coming," says
the Lord of hosts. "But who can endure the day of His
coming? And who can stand when He appears? For He is like
a refiner's fire and like fullers ' soap. He will sit as a smelter
and purifier of silver, and He will purify the sons of Levi and
refine them like gold and silver, so that they may present to the
Lord offerings in righteousness. Then the offering of Judah
and Jerusalem will be pleasing to the Lord as in the days of
old and as in former years. Then I will draw near to you for
judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers
and against the adulterers and against those who swear
falsely, and against those who oppress the wage earner in his
wages, the widow and the orphan , and those who turn aside
the alien and do not fear Me," says the Lord of hosts. "For I ,
the Lord, do not change; therefore you, O sons of Jacob, are
not consumed. From the days of your fathers you have turned
aside from My statutes and have not kept them. Return to Me,
and I will return to you," says the Lord of hosts. "But you say,
'How shall we return?'
Malachi 3:1-7

Sikhism - Discipleship
Sikhism is a philosophical system which was developed in

Punjab in the fifteenth century and is based on the teachings
of Guru Nanak Dev. And Sikh is derived from the Punjabi
root sikh which means "disciple" and from the Sanskrit root
siksa which means "instruction". And his disciples were
instructed to meditate on God's works so that they could
discover the truth. And by knowing that God is at work in all
things, and by meditating on the depth of His works, we can
understand God and the Truth. And by being disciples of God
and the Truth, God instructs us how to live in the Truth. For
as Guru Nanak instructed his disciples, "realization of Truth is
higher than all else. Higher still is truthful living". For the
Truth is the Divine Word of God. And as Nanak taught his
disciples, "the Divine Word is the Guru, upon whom I
lovingly focus my consciousness; I am thy disciple." And by
living as disciples of the Word, we realize that all men are
created in God's image, and thus form one unity with God.
For “everyone, being created in the image of God, is
considered high and with esteem, none can be bereft of the
True Name”. (Guru Granth Sahib)
And the teaching of the psalmist instructed us to meditate on

God's works. "I will meditate on all Your work and muse on
Your deeds. Your way, O God, is holy; what god is great like
135
our God? You are the God who works wonders; You have
made known Your strength among the peoples." (Psalms
77:11-14) And by meditating on God's works, we can understand
His truth and justice. "For the works of His hands are truth and
justice; all His precepts are sure. They are upheld forever and
ever; they are performed in truth and uprightness." (Psalms
111:7-8) And through God's works we know of His love for
creation. And His greatest love of all is for His greatest
creation, which is mankind. For as the Son instructed His
disciples, "look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor
reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds
them. Are you not of more value than they?" (Matthew 6:26)
And "consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they
neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you that even Solomon
in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Now if God
so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow
is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O
you of little faith?" (Matthew 6:28-30)
And as God bestowed His love on mankind, so are we

instructed to love God the same way. For as Moses instructed
his disciples, "See, I have set before you today life and
prosperity, and death and adversity; in that I command you
today to love the Lord your God, to walk in His ways and to
keep His commandments and His statutes and His judgments,
that you may live and multiply, and that the Lord your God
may bless you in the land where you are entering to possess
it." (Deuteronomy 30:15-16) "Moreover the Lord your God
will circumcise your heart and the heart of your descendants,
to love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your
136
soul, so that you may live." (Deuteronomy 30:6) But His
people failed to love God, and they failed to keep His
commandments. Thus they failed to know His Word and the
Truth.
Yet God so loved the world that He sent His only Son to
instruct His disciples so that all men might live. For as the
disciples instructed us, "this the love of God was manifested in
us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world so
that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we
loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the
propitiation for our sins." (1 John 4:9-12) For the Son is the
Word and the Truth. "For the Word became flesh, and dwelt
from the Father, full of grace and truth." (John 1:14) And
through the Word and the Truth, His disciples were instructed
to love one another. For "if God so loved us, we also ought to
love one another. No one has seen God at any time; if we love
one another, God abides in us, and His love is perfected in
us. By this we know that we abide in Him and He in us,
because He has given us of His Spirit. We have seen and
testify that the Father has sent the Son to be the Savior of the
world." (1 John 4:11-14) And by confessing that God sent us
His only Son, and by living as the Son has instructed us, we as
His disciples are perfected in Oneness with God. For
"whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides
in him, and he in God. We have come to know and have
believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and the
one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in
him. By this, love is perfected with us, so that we may have
137
confidence in the day of judgment; because as He is, so also
are we in this world." (1 John 4:15-17)
As He was in the beginning: the Truth,
So throughout the ages,
Ever has been: the Truth,
So even now he is Truth immanent.
So forever and ever he shall be,
Truth eternal.
The Meditation - Nanak Dev

XXX
The Name of God
Of paramount importance in the Sikh philosophy is meditating

upon God's name. And most philosophers have been reluctant
to name God, for to do so is to define the unlimited within the
limitations of our language. For the name of God by
definition was given to His witness. For when Moses
enquired God of His name, "God said to Moses, 'I AM WHO
I AM'; and He said, 'Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, 'I
AM has sent me to you.' ' "(Exodus 3:14)
And the definition of a name is "a word that constitutes a

distinctive designation to a person or thing". (Merriam-
Webster Dictionary) But as mortals our ability to name is
limited by the limits of our mind. For "even so my God, I
could not know Thy price, nor say how great is Thy Name;
true is the Formless One and Self-Existent, on hearing the
Word, one utters the Word; if the Lord wills, then one has
longing for Him." (Nanak Dev) And it is not man, but God
who magnifies the Word according to His Name. And "I will
bow down toward Your holy temple and give thanks to Your
name for Your lovingkindness and Your truth; for You have
magnified Your word according to all Your name." (Psalms
138:2) And at the beginning, the Word of God was God. For
"in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with
139
God. All things came into being through Him, and apart from
Him nothing came into being that has come into being." (John
1:1-3) Thus the name of God by definition is the Word of
God. And Moses instructed the people that the name of God
is "I AM"; for as God had instructed Moses, "Thus you shall
say to the sons of Israel, 'I AM has sent me to you.' "(Exodus
3:14) But Moses did not teach the people to name God by
God's name. For by the definition of a name, there is only
One who can call His name: "I AM WHO I AM". And
unequivocally at the end, the name of God shall be known
only by the Word of God. For "His eyes are a flame of fire,
and on His head are many diadems; and He has a name
written on Him which no one knows except Himself. He is
clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called
The Word of God." (Revelation 19:12-13)
And a name can also be defined as "a symbol used in logic to

designate an entity". (Merriam-Webster Dictionary) And the
Sikhs often used symbols to define what was too difficult to
designate with words. For as Nanak noted on the limitation of
words, "God hath no marks or symbols, He is of no color, of
no caste, He is not even of any lineage. His form, hue, shape
and garb cannot be described by anyone." (Nanak Dev) And
many of God's symbols were designated by the prophets. "I
have also spoken by the prophets, and have multiplied visions;
I have given symbols through the witness of the prophets."
(Hosea 12:10) For Moses would designate the Law as the
symbol of God's commandments. For "these commandments
that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them
on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and
140
when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when
you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them
on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your
houses and on your gates." (Deuteronomy 6:6-9) And Christ
would designate the cross as the symbol of God's love and
sacrifice. For "being found in appearance as a man, He
humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death,
even the death of the cross. Therefore God also has highly
exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every
name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of
those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the
earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is
Lord, to the glory of God the Father." (Philippians 2:8-11)
And to the Sikhs, the Name of God is symbolized by light. For

"without prayer and praise of the Almighty God, darkness
shall prevail. As is the staff in the hand of a blind person, so is
to us the Name of God." (Gurbaani) For "as God ordaineth, so
man receiveth. All creation is His Word made manifest;
except in the Light of His Word there is no way". (Nanak
Dev) And the Lord of hosts gives us the light of sun by day
and the moon by night. "Thus says the Lord, who gives the
sun for light by day and the fixed order of the moon and the
stars for light by night, who stirs up the sea so that its waves
roar; the Lord of hosts is His name." (Jeremiah 31:35) And
the Son came down to earth to bring us the Light. For as the
Son testified, "I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me
will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life."
(John 8:12)
141
And to the Sikhs, the name of God is symbolized by the
Bridegroom. And all things shall be completed by His
marriage to the Bride. "Let my tongue become a hundred
thousand tongues, let the hundred thousand be multiplied
twenty-fold, with each tongue many hundred thousands of
times I would repeat the holy Name of the Lord; thus let the
soul step by step mount the stairs to the Bridegroom and
become one with Him." (Nanak Dev) And this witness
testifies that the Bridegroom shall return. For "He who has the
bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the Bridegroom,
who stands and hears Him, rejoices greatly because of the
Bridegroom's voice. So this joy of mine has been made full."
(John 3:29) And the year of the union of the Bridegroom and
the Bride shall soon come. For "the year and the sacred day
for the wedding is fixed. Comrades! Pour oil at the door to
welcome the bride; give me your blessings, O friends, I depart
for my union with God." (Nanak Dev) And the seven
trumpets shall sound, for the Elect shall soon be gathered.
"Blow a trumpet in Zion, consecrate a fast, proclaim a solemn
assembly, gather the people, sanctify the congregation,
assemble the elders, gather the children and the nursing
infants. Let the bridegroom come out of his room and the
bride out of her bridal chamber." (Joel 2:15-16) For the Bride
shall be gathered from all of the nations, and the Bridegroom
and the Bride shall be made into One. For "the Lord’s chosen
are absorbed in the Lord’s Name. The pain of birth and the
fear of death are broken. They have attained the Imperishable
Lord; great honor is theirs in all regions." (Nanak Dev)
142
But when the Bride and the Bridegroom depart, then all the
earth and mankind shall perish. "And the light of a lamp will
not shine in you any longer; and the voice of the bridegroom
and bride will not be heard in you any longer; for your
merchants were the great men of the earth, because all the
nations were deceived by your sorcery. And in her was found
the blood of prophets and of saints and of all who have been
slain on the earth." (Revelation 18:23-24)

The last Adam became a life-giving spirit. However, the
spiritual is not first, but the natural; then the spiritual. The
first man is from the earth, earthly; the second man is
from heaven. As is the earthy, so also are those who are
earthy; and as is the heavenly, so also are those who are
heavenly. Just as we have borne the image of the earthy, we

“The first man, Adam, became soul.” (1 Corinthians 15:45)

And as the soul of the first man was created by the Father,
so were our souls created by the Father. For we presently
bear the image of the earthly, but soon will “bear the image
of the heavenly.” (1 Corinthians 15:49) For the Father is the
sustenance of our souls, for He is the living water of Life.
(Psalms 54:4) And this world is a dry and desolate place,
and our souls long and thirst for His living water. (Psalms
63:1) And the souls of the faithful have longed for this
day, and the souls of His promise do earnestly pray, “my
soul pants for You, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for
the living God; when shall I come and appear before
God?” (Psalms 42:1-2)
And who will claim our souls? For the desires of the
flesh, are the shackles of Satan, and all hope is lost, to those
whom he claims. And the psalmist took refuge in the
Father, knowing that Satan has the power to claim, his
body and soul and drag him away. (Psalms 7:1-2) For
where Satan rules in the depths of his lair, there is no hope,
only loss and despair. (Psalms 16:9-10) And why do we
not heed the words of the Lord? “Do not fear those
who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but rather
fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in
hell.” (Matthew 10:28) And what gain is there, if you gain
the world but lose your soul? (Matthew 16:25-26) Thus we
must be strangers to this heathen world, and fight the
150
desires which endanger our souls. (1 Peter 2:11)
And who can save our souls? There is only one, for our
hope lies in our redemption through the Father. “For my
hope is from Him. He only is my rock and my salvation,
my stronghold; I shall not be shaken.” (Psalms 62:5-6)
And we patiently wait for His promises, and hope to return
to our Creator. (Psalms 130:5) Then He will give us our
portion, for He is good to those who have patiently waited
for Him, and to those who have sought Him. (Lamentations
3:24-25) And our portion shall be great indeed, for Christ
has come as the High Priest, and now we may pass
through the veil, and receive our inheritance from our
heavenly Father. (Hebrews 6:19-20)
And what does the Father ask of us? The world has forgotten
His first commandment, “You shall love the Lord your God
with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your
might.” (Deuteronomy 6:4-5/ Matthew 22:37) For we must
fear the Lord our God, and strive to inherit eternal life with
the Father. (Psalms 25:12-13) For it is the Father and not
earth’s ruler, who can cast our souls to hell, or raise our
souls to eternal life. (Matthew 10:28) And we must place
our hope “in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys,
and where thieves do not break in or steal.” (Matthew 6:20)
For if we are not rich towards God, then why should He be
rich towards us? (Luke 12:19-21) But to those who put their
hope in the Father, their souls shall be redeemed by the
Father, “and none of those who take refuge in Him will be
condemned.” (Psalms 34:22)
151
And now the time has come, when all will know that He is
Lord, for He will come to claim His kingdom. “For the
kingdom is the Lord's and He rules over the nations. All the
prosperous of the earth will eat and worship, all those who
go down to the dust will bow before Him, even he who
cannot keep his soul alive.” (Psalms 22:28-29) For His
people have patiently endured, those who breed violence and
war. (Psalms 120:6-7) And when He returns in the clouds,
the trumpets shall warn of that fateful day. (Jeremiah
4:19) And when the judgment comes, the world will know
of His justice and righteousness. (Isaiah 26:9) And the
world will wonder, “Shall I present my firstborn for my
rebellious acts, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?”
(Micah 6:7) NO. He no longer desires the fruit of your
body, for each man will be judged by his own works. And
now He asks for the blood of your body for the sins of your
soul.
But when the fire of the judgment is complete, we stand

assured of the redemption that awaits. For lovely are the
dwelling places of the courts of God. (Psalms 84:1-2) And
His people will be adorned, with garments of salvation and
robes of righteousness. And all will rejoice in His kingdom,
for as the Father promised, “I will make My dwelling among
you, and My soul will not reject you. I will also walk among
you and be your God, and you shall be My people.”
(Leviticus26:11-12)

of the righteous judgment of God, who will render to each one
according to his deeds.” Romans 2:5-6
The history of man’s heart has been evil
“Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth,
and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil
continually. And the Lord was sorry that He had made man on the
earth, and He was grieved in His heart.” Genesis 6:5-6

for man's sake, although the imagination of his youth; nor will I
again destroy every living thing as I have done.’” Genesis 8:21

blessed him, and Esau said in his heart, ‘The days of mourning for
my father are at hand; then I will kill my brother Jacob.’” Genesis
27:41
“The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings. I watched till its
wings were plucked off; and it was lifted up from the earth and made
to stand on two feet like a man, and a man's heart was given to it.”
Daniel 7:4
“Through his cunning He shall cause deceit to prosper under his rule;
and he shall exalt himself in his heart. He shall destroy many in their
prosperity. He shall even rise against the Prince of princes; but he
shall be broken without human means.” Daniel 8:25
But the Lord can control the heart of man
“The king's heart is in the hand of the Lord, like the rivers of water;
He turns it wherever He wishes.” Proverbs 21:1
“And the Lord said to Moses, ‘When you go back to Egypt, see that
you do all those wonders before Pharaoh which I have put in your

go.’” Exodus 4:21

We must be broken hearted

heart -- These, O God, You will not despise.” Psalms 51:17
“For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.”

Psalms 109:22
“Turn to Me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with
mourning. So rend your heart, and not your garments; return to the
Lord your God, for He is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of
great kindness; and He relents from doing harm.” Joel 2:12-13

name is Holy: ‘I dwell in the high and holy place, with him who has a

Then the Spirit can enter our hearts
“Then I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within
them, and take the stony heart out of their flesh, and give them a
156
heart of flesh, that they may walk in My statutes and keep My

their God.” Ezekiel 11:19-20
“‘If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in
Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of
living water.’ But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those
believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given,
because Jesus was not yet glorified.” John 7:37-39
“For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that

which is outward in the flesh; but he is a Jew who is one inwardly;
and circumcision is that of the heart, in the Spirit, not in the letter;
whose praise is not from men but from God.” Romans 2:28-29
“You are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read by all
men; clearly you are an epistle of Christ, ministered by us, written not
with ink but by the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but
on tablets of flesh, that is, of the heart.” 2 Corinthians 3:2-3
The Spirit purifies our hearts by faith
“So God, who knows the heart, acknowledged them by giving them
the Holy Spirit, just as He did to us, and made no distinction between
us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.” Acts 15:8-9
“Have faith in God. For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this
mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt
157
in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he
will have whatever he says.” Mark 11:22-23
“But as it is written: ‘Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have
entered into the heart of man. The things which God has prepared for
those who love Him.’ But God has revealed them to us through His
Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.”
The upright in heart will glorify God
“The righteous shall be glad in the Lord, and trust in Him. And all the
upright in heart shall glory.” Psalms 64:10
“Teach me Your way, O Lord; I will walk in Your truth; unite my

heart to fear Your name. I will praise You, O Lord my God, with all
my heart, and I will glorify Your name forevermore.” Psalms
86:11-12
“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust
destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves
treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where
thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there
your heart will be also.” Matthew 6:19-21
“Now the multitude of those who believed were of one heart and one
soul; neither did anyone say that any of the things he possessed was
his own, but they had all things in common.” Acts 4:32
158
The Heart of Man Comes From the Holy Spirit
“God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created
him”. (Genesis 1:27) For we were created in the image of God, and
just as God is three in one: the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, so were
we created as three in one: heart, soul, and mind. Our heart is the
vessel through which the Spirit works, and when the Spirit works we
receive the gift of faith. And as the Lord is faithful to us, so should we
be faithful to Him. And His commandment to us is this: “You shall
love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and
with all your mind.” (Matthew 22:37 / Deuteronomy 6:4-5)
Our hearts are inherently evil, for they are easily deceived, by the
ruler of this world, and they devise evil plans, and fall in his ways.
For out of the hearts of men “proceed evil thoughts, murders,
adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies.” (Matthew
15:18-19) And the ways of men are corrupt, for in ignorance they say
“there is no God”. (Psalms 14:1) And their hearts of pride have
turned to stone. (Proverbs 16:5) But rather than giving their hearts to
the Spirit, they are doomed to repeat the sins of their fathers. (Acts
7:51) For that which was sown by the Spirit, has been snatched by the
ruler of this earth. (Matthew 13:19) But all men’s hearts shall be
judged by the Lord, and their hardness of heart will make it bleed, for
our Lord “will render to each one according to his deeds”. (Romans
2:5-6)
And as the Lord said, the “imagination of man's heart is evil from his
youth”. (Genesis 8:21) And because of the evil of man’s heart, and
because it grieved our Lord’s heart, He destroyed mankind by the
159
flood. (Genesis 6:5-6) And the blood thirsty ways of the nations,
were conceived by the murderous heart of Esau; and through the heart
of hatred and murder, the wars of the nations continue to this day.
(Genesis 27:41) And the rulers of our nations, through the evil of their
hearts, have ushered in the final days of this earth. For the first ruler
came as the “beast from the sea” from the Great Babylon. “The first
was like a lion, and had eagle's wings. I watched till its wings were
plucked off; and it was lifted up from the earth and made to stand on
two feet like a man, and a man's heart was given to it.” (Daniel 7:4)
And George Bush Jr. through a heart of evil, was given authority to
wage war against Iraq. And the second ruler is the anti-Christ from
Babylon of Old. “Through his cunning He shall cause deceit to
prosper under his rule; and he shall exalt himself in his heart. He shall
destroy many in their prosperity. He shall even rise against the Prince
of princes; but he shall be broken without human means.” (Daniel
8:25) For Moqtada al-Sadr’s heart from Satan shall be destroyed by
God, when the final bowl is poured out.
Although the ways of our rulers are evil, it is God’s hands that draws
the end near, for He is the one who turns men’s hearts, whichever way
He wishes. (Proverbs 21:1) For was it not God, who hardened
Pharaoh’s heart, when His people passed over from Egypt? (Exodus
4:21) And was it not God, who softened Cyrus’ heart, when Persia
rebuilt His temple? (Ezra 6:22) And know that when the Lord’s
wrath comes, the judgment shall be just, for though the punishment is
great, their hearts will not repent. “And men were scorched with great
heat, and they blasphemed the name of God who has power over these
plagues; and they did not repent and give Him glory.” (Revelation
16:9)
160
And what does the Lord ask of us? That men would turn their hearts
towards Him, and serve Him in the spirit. But in order to do so, man
must be broken in heart and spirit. (Psalms 51:17) For when our
hearts are wounded, and our spirits are needy, then we will know the
truth, that all things come from the Father. (Psalms 109:22) And
when we turn with weeping and mourning, then He is gracious and
merciful. (Joel 2:12-13) And the High and Lofty One who is Holy,
will revive the heart and spirit of those, who are humble in heart and
contrite in spirit. (Isaiah 57:15)
And when we have emptied our hearts, the Spirit can enter and fill our
hearts up. For the prophets of old foretold, that Christ would come
again, and we would be one people with one spirit. (Ezekiel 11:19-20)
And before Christ died on the cross, He promised that when He
returned, our hearts would flow with the Holy Spirit. (John 7:37-39)
And now by God’s mercy and grace, the Spirit can circumcise our
hearts, of the earthly foreskin of this world, and renew us with the
heart of the Spirit. (Romans 2:28-29) And having hearts and spirits
anew, our hearts are no longer tablets of stone, but tablets of flesh
authored by the Spirit. (2 Corinthians 3:2-3)
The Holy Spirit fills our hearts, and purifies our hearts, through the
gift of faith. (Acts 15:8-9) For it is through faith that we believe, in
the sustenance of the Father, the Word of the Son, and the fruits of the
Holy Spirit. And through our faith, we are strengthened without
earthly bonds, and produce the fruits of the Spirit. And those who
have the greatest faith, will have the power He promised of.
“Whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the
sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he
says will be done, he will have whatever he says.” (Mark 11:22-23)
And through our faith, the mysteries of His truths are revealed to us.
161
Yes and even the truths of the things to come, “for the Spirit searches
all things, yes, the deep things of God.” (1 Corinthians 2:9-10)
Now all is past and the time is near, for those who walk in truth and
fear. His Holy people will rejoice for “the righteous shall be glad in
the Lord, and trust in Him. And all the upright in heart shall glory.”
(Psalms 64:10 //Psalms 86:11-12) For the treasures of this earth are
mammon, for all will perish by fire and famine. But those who placed
their treasures in heaven, by hearts of faith will be rewarded by Him.
(Matthew 6:19-21) And all who have placed their faith in the Lord,
will be of one heart forevermore. (Acts 4:32)

The Mind of Christ Is Sacrificial Love
From Signs, Science & Symbols of the Prophecy
Completed November 18,2010
‘You shall love the Lord your God

with all your heart, and with all your
soul, and with all your mind.’ This is
the great and foremost commandment.
The second is like it, ‘You

shall love your neighbor as yourself’
On these two commandments depend
the whole Law and the Prophets.
Matthew 22:37-40
163
The mind of God is infinite and unchangable
“Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and

knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments
and unfathomable His ways! For who has known the
mind the Lord who?” Romans 11:33-34
“As for you, my son Solomon, know the God of your

father, and serve Him with a whole heart and a willing
mind; for the Lord searches all hearts, and understands
every intent of the thoughts. If you seek Him, He will let
you find Him; but if you forsake Him, He will reject you
forever.” 1 Chronicles 28:9
“Also the Glory of Israel will not lie or change His mind;
for He is not a man that He should change His mind.” 1
Samuel 15:28-29
“For this the earth shall mourn and the heavens above
be dark, because I have spoken, I have purposed, and I
will not change My mind, nor will I turn from it.” Jeremiah
4:28
164
The mind of man is depraved
“The mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God; for it

does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even
able to do so, and those who are in the flesh cannot please
God.” Romans 8:7-8
“Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of

our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind,
and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest.”
Ephesians 2:3
“And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any
longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do
those things which are not proper, being filled with all
unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy,
murder, strife, deceit, malice; they are gossips,
slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful,
inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, without
understanding, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful.”
Romans 1:28-31
165
The beasts have the mind of perdition
“He who has a crooked mind finds no good, and he who is perverted
in his language falls into evil.” Proverbs 17:20
“The mind of man plans his way, But the Lord directs his steps.”
Proverbs 16:9
“The first was like a lion and had the wings of an eagle. I kept looking
until its wings were plucked, and it was lifted up from the ground and
made to stand on two feet like a man; a human mind also was given
to it.” Daniel 7:4
“They have said, ‘Come, and let us wipe them out as a nation, that the
name of Israel be remembered no more. For they have conspired
together with one mind; against You they make a covenant.’” Psalms
83:4-5
The Lord counsels the minds of those who seek Him
“For WHO HAS KNOWN THE MIND OF THE LORD, THAT HE

SHOULD INSTRUCT HIM? But we have the mind of Christ.” 1
Corinthians 2:16
“I will bless the Lord who has counseled me; indeed, my mind
instructs me in the night.” Psalms 16:7
166
“And do not be conformed to this world, but be
transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you
may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and
acceptable and perfect.” Romans 12:2
“Set your mind on the things above, not on the things

that are on earth.” Colossians 3:2
“Now may the God who gives perseverance and

encouragement grant you to be of the same mind with
one another according to Christ Jesus, so that with one
accord you may with one voice glorify the God and Father
of our Lord Jesus Christ.” Romans 15:5-6
All will be reconciled and will become one mind in

the Lord
“For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; and

the former things will not be remembered or come to mind.”
Isaiah 65:17
“Then I will give you shepherds after My own heart, who

will feed you on knowledge and understanding. ‘It shall be
in those days when you are multiplied and increased in the
land,’ declares the Lord, ‘they will no longer say, ‘The ark
of the covenant of the Lord.’ And it will not come to
mind, nor will they remember it, nor will they miss it, nor
will it be made again. At that time they will call Jerusalem
‘The Throne of the Lord,’ and all the nations will be
167
gathered to it, to Jerusalem, for the name of the Lord; nor
will they walk anymore after the stubbornness of their evil
heart.’” Jeremiah 3:15-17
168
The Trinities
For there are three that testify:

the Spirit and the water and the blood;
and the three are in agreement.
1 John 5:7-8
169
The Mind of Christ is Sacrificial Love
Contrary to what we believe, love comes from the Mind of

Christ and the mind of man, and not from than the heart of
man. For what is love but a choice of the mind. And “greater
love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his
friends.” (John 15:13) For the greatest love of all is that God
sent His only Son, and by His love, He sacrificed His blood
for the redemption of mankind. “For this reason the Father
loves Me, because I lay down My life so that I may take it
again. No one has taken it away from Me, but I lay it down on
My own initiative. I have authority to lay it down, and I have
authority to take it up again.” (John 10:17-18) And what does
it mean to love? Recall the words of Moses, “love the Lord
your God with all your heart and with all your soul.”
(Deuteronomy 30:6) Yet recall the mindful words of Christ,
“love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your
soul, and with all your mind.” (Matthew 22:37-40) For
by the sacrifice of His blood on the cross, the triune of God’s
graces now is complete: faith, hope, and love; “but the
greatest of these is love.” (1 Corinthians 13:13)
The mind of the Lord is infinite and impassable, beyond the

expanses of the universe, and deeper than the thoughts of our
mind. “How unsearchable are His judgments and
unfathomable His ways! For who has known the mind the
Lord, who?” (Romans 11:33-34) And the Lord searches
the depths of our minds, for He understands every intent of
our thoughts. (1 Chronicles 28:9) But contrary to the mind
of man, the mind of the Lord remains unchanged, “for He is
170
not a man that He should change His mind.” (1 Samuel 15:28-
29) Thus the words of the prophecy shall be fulfilled, for
the prophets of old foretold, “for this the earth shall mourn
and the heavens above be dark, because I have spoken, I have
purposed, and I will not change My mind, nor will I turn from
it.” (Jeremiah 4:28)
For the mind of man has been subject, to the mind of Satan
and the flesh of this world. And the mind of the flesh is at
enmity with God. (Romans 8:7-8) And even the
prophets, martyrs, and saints were born as children of the
flesh, “and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest.”
(Ephesians 2:3) But to those who refuted the mind of
Christ, were given to them the mind of flesh. And “God gave
them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are
not proper, being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness,
greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they
are gossips, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant,
boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, without
understanding, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful.”
(Romans 1:28-31)
And the leaders of this world have the mind of perdition,

adopting a language of perversion and derision. (Proverbs
17:20) Yet they forget these words of wisdom, “the mind of
man plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps.” (Proverbs
16:9) And on September 11, 2001, the beast from the sea,
through the mind of a man, was given the power of Satan.
(Daniel 7:4) And on May 25, 2007, the beast from the earth
was given the mind of Satan. And the beasts devise their evil
plans to destroy the nations, for they abhor the mind of our
171
Lord, and have given their minds over to Satan. (Psalms 83:4-
5)
“For who has known the mind of the Lord, that we should
instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ.” (1
Corinthians 2:16) For those who call upon the Lord, through
the mind of Christ, the Lord will instruct. (Psalms 16:7) And
by the mind of Christ, we are no longer conformed to the
flesh, but are transformed by the renewing of our minds.
(Romans 12:2)And no longer do we set our minds on this
earth, but look forward to the heavens and the treasures above
(Colossians 3:2) And by being transformed by the mind of
Christ, we have become one mind and “with one voice glorify
the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.” (Romans 15:5-
6)
And over the span of two times “time, times, and half a time”
(Daniel 12:7), the prophecy shall be fulfilled. And mankind
will be one mind with the Lord, for the mind of Satan and
flesh will be forgotten. “For behold, I create new heavens and
a new earth; and the former things will not be remembered or
come to mind”. (Isaiah 65:17) And a new Jerusalem and
kingdom will be established. And its shepherds will feed its
people with knowledge and understanding. And the ark of the
covenant will be no more, for God will dwell in our presence,
and His goodness will be among all nations. Forevermore.
(Jeremiah 3:15-17)

of the beast, for the number is that of a man; and his number is
six hundred and sixty-six.” (Revelation 13:11-18)
174
How the saints have patiently waited, for the King to return!
But woe to those who have turned from the Lamb. Although
the King returns to save all, He does not return as the Lamb.
For He will return as the Lion. And by His iron rod and will,
all sins shall be paid in full. For as Christ the Lamb has
promised the world, “truly I say to you, you will not come out
of there until you have paid up the last cent.” (Matthew 5:26).
Turn now and confess to the Lamb, for the price of the Lion is

May 25, 2007: Moqtada al-Sadr returns from Iran to Sadr
City, Iraq to speak “as a dragon” to his followers, “No,
no Satan; no, no USA; no, no occupation; no, no Israel”. He
comes “out of the earth” to be dictator of his country, Iraq,
Syria of old, Babylon of old, Garden of Eden, the origin of
mankind, and the GOG (garden of god). And on that day,
6000 Shiites listened to him speak, and 6 US troops died. And
the beast, has a number, “and his number is 666". (Revelation
13:18)
176
His followers call al-Sadr “the Mahdi”, for the Mahdi is the
“guided one”. He will lead his people against the “infidels”, as
prophesied by the Shi’a faith. The Mahdi followers, the Mahdi
army, prepare the way for the end of this world.
But even if you don’t believe prophecies, take a look at these

cold hard facts:
1. His followers call him by the revered name “martyr imam”
A. Imam is reserved for the holiest of holy men in the

country. He is the son and the nephew of the two
previous Imam Ayatollahs of Iraq. He is also a direct
descendant of the prophet Mohammed. He is the Imam
or Grand Ayatollah of Iraq.
B. He is called _martyr_ because the Bush and Reagan

administrations assisted in the assassination of his
father, Imam Mohammed Sadiq al-Sadr, and his two
brothers in 1999, and the execution of his uncle, Imam
Mohammed Baqir al-Sadr, in 1980. During the Iran-
Iraq war, the US under Ronald Reagan and George
Bush Sr, gave tens of billions of dollars of military
support to Saddam Hussein to destroy the Shi’a
government. Its leaders at the time were his father
Imam Ayatollah Mohammed Sadiq al-Sadr and his
uncle Imam Ayatollah Mohammed Baqir al-Sadr. They
are now worshiped as the two holiest martyrs of Iraq,
the “two horns of the lamb” (Revelation 13:11). Al-
Sadr is hell bent on avenging the death of his family by
the hands of the US government, and he will.
177
2. His father and uncle studied with Imam Ayatollah
Khomeini of Iran, also a direct descendant of the prophet
Mohammed. Furthermore, his uncle is Mohammad Khatami,
the previous president of Iran. Al-Sadr’s Mahdi army is
trained by and consists of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards.
In other words, the holy and political families of Iran and Iraq
are blood relatives! Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the president of
Iran, and Moqtada al-Sadr are very close allies.
3. Iran is much more advanced in nuclear weapons

development than the press leads us to believe. In fact, reports
show that Iran has over 5000 nuclear centrifuges and recently
was able to manufacture tritium, an important fuel for nuclear
fusion bombs. And now they have a contract with Russia to
supply them with uranium for their “nuclear reactors.” And
remember, there are 250 “suitcase nuclear bombs” (called
RA115s) still missing from Russia after the Iron Curtain came
down; and it is widely assumed that al-Qaeda has 50 of them
in their possession. (Off the record, a suitcase nuke was
recently found in Iraq).
4. Iran is getting their gasoline from President Chavez in

Venezuela and their citizens are on gasoline restrictions
because their oil reserves are low and they lack the ability to
refine their oil.
5. Iraq has the third largest oil supply in the world (at least 20
trillion dollars worth) and they have the refineries to process
it, which the US government has been so diligent to protect.
6. Iraq is averaging 2 suicide bombings per day, and the

number is rapidly increasing.
178
7. By conservative estimates, al-Sadr has 4 million faithful
followers and an army of over 100,000 troops and has the
support of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards.
And what will happen, the answer is simple. For the Shi’a
controls both of these “horns”, and their blood lines are tied by
religion. (Daniel 7) And Iran is assisting with weapons and
training. And Iran will run out of their oil, but they do have the
means for nuclear warfare. And Iraq has 20 trillion dollars of
oil in the fields, but they do not yet have nuclear weapons. Who
is to keep them from trading oil for nuclear weapons? And who
is going to keep an Iraqi suicide bomber from detonating a
nuclear weapon on US soil? And who is securing the Mexican
border? Believe me, not Bush, not Cheney, not the US, no one!
And what is the answer? The answer is simple. For the seals
have been opened, the trigger has been pulled, and the bomb is
ticking away. But man has no hope to intervene, for God the
Father has control in all things. His prophecy is like a skilled
surgeon’s knife, perfect and precise, for the judgment of man
will lie in His hands.
The question is then not if it will come, for the end will come
soon, but what can we do to prepare for the end? Again, the
answer is simple. “Thus it is written, that the Christ would
suffer and rise again from the dead the third day, and that
repentance for forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed in His
name to all the nations.” (Luke 24:46-47) For we will be
judged by the Lamb or the Lion. And Christ the Lamb can
forgive your sins, or Christ the Lion can judge for your sins.
“Each man's work will become evident; for the day will show
it because it is to be revealed with fire, and the fire itself will
179
test the quality of each man's work. If any man's work which
he has built on it remains, he will receive a reward. If any
man's work is burned up, he will suffer loss; but he himself
will be saved, yet so as through fire.” (1 Corinthians 3:13-16)
Thus there is still time to ask for forgiveness. For the time of
the Lamb is now. The Judgment Day is near. And the Lion
will return. So, come Lord Jesus. Come.

Everything is Perfected in Eight
Mathematics and Numbers of the Prophecy
The foreskin of the flesh is removed in eight
“And every male among you who is eight days old shall be
circumcised throughout your generations, a servant who is
born in the house or who is bought with money from any
foreigner, who is not of your descendants.” Genesis 17:12
“Then Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when he was eight

days old, as God had commanded him.” Genesis 21:4
“And He gave him the covenant of circumcision; and so

Abraham became the father of Isaac, and circumcised him on
the eighth day; and Isaac became the father of Jacob, and
Jacob of the twelve patriarchs.” Acts 7:8
“On the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be

circumcised.” Leviticus 12:3
“And when eight days had passed, before His circumcision,

His name was then called Jesus, the name given by the angel
before He was conceived in the womb.” Luke 2:21
181
The outer court of the temple is cleansed in eight
“Now they began the consecration on the first day of the first
month, and on the eighth day of the month they entered the
porch of the Lord. Then they consecrated the house of the
Lord in eight days, and finished on the sixteenth day of the
first month.” 2 Chronicles 29:17
“Its porches were toward the outer court; and palm tree
ornaments were on its side pillars, and its stairway had eight
steps.” Ezekiel 40:31
“Four tables were on each side next to the gate; or, eight
tables on which they slaughter sacrifices.” Ezekiel 40:41
182
The Final Temple
183
God reconciles all in eight
“who once were disobedient, when the patience of God kept

waiting in the days of Noah, during the construction of the ark,
in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely
through the water.” 1 Peter 3:20
“Then the eighth day he shall bring them for his cleansing to
the priest, at the doorway of the tent of meeting, before the
Lord.” Leviticus 14:23
“Then on the eighth day he shall take for himself two

turtledoves or two young pigeons, and come before the Lord
to the doorway of the tent of meeting and give them to the
priest” Leviticus 15:14
“For seven days you shall present an offering by fire to the

Lord. On the eighth day you shall have a holy convocation
and present an offering by fire to the Lord; it is an assembly.
You shall do no laborious work.” Leviticus 23:36
“When you are sowing the eighth year, you can still eat old
things from the crop, eating the old until the ninth year when
its crop comes in.” Leviticus 25:22
184
And the eighth ruler will be destroyed
“When they have completed the days, it shall be that on the

eighth day and onward, the priests shall offer your burnt
offerings on the altar, and your peace offerings; and I will
accept you,' declares the Lord God.” Ezekiel 43:27
“The beast which was and is not, is himself also an eighth and
is one of the seven, and he goes to destruction.” Revelations
17:11
185
When the 8th Ruler is Defeated, God’s Kingdom Will Be ∞
We all have heard of the term seventh heaven, but have you
not heard of the eighth? For the prophecy speaks of the
eighth, “the beast which was and is not, is himself also an
eighth and is one of the seven, and he goes to destruction.”
(Revelations 17:11) For the temple of God will be perfected
in seven, and the rest of mankind will be perfected in eight.
And when the 8th ruler is destroyed, God’s kingdom shall be
infinite forever (∞). For the ordinance of time is the seven-
fold week. But the eighth ruler who is “time” shall be slain,
and death shall no longer hold man.
Eight is the atomic number of oxygen, and as we know

oxygen is the breath of life. For as oxygen is the breath of
life, so is the Spirit the breath of man’s life. For “the Spirit of
God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me
life.” (Job 33:4) And the diatomic structure of oxygen is an
eight. But when the end comes, His breath shall depart, “for I
will not contend forever, nor will I always be angry; for the
spirit would grow faint before Me, and the breath of those
whom I have made.” (Isaiah 57:16)
The atomic structure of oxygen
186
Eight is derived from the Indian word yettu that is in the shape
of an H. And the number of eight is the Greek letter eta that is
in the shape H. And in science H represents enthalpy or heat.
And at the end “the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in
which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements
will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its
works will be burned up.” (2 Peter 3:10)
Enthalpy is the thermodynamic potential of a system. And

this is the sum of the system’s internal energy and its work.
And work is equivalent to pressure times volume. Thus the
formula for enthalpy is:
Enthalpy = Internal Energy + Work
H = U + PV
H represents enthalpy
U represents internal energy
P represents pressure
V represents volume
187
And the change in the potential of a system, is equivalent to
the change of internal energy, plus the work that is done in the
system (pΔV). Thus:
ΔH = ΔU + pΔV
And as it says “if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the

old things passed away; behold, new things have come.” (2
Corinthians 5:17) And it also says “you see that a man is
justified by works and not by faith alone.” (James 2:24)
Thus:
New man in Christ (ΔU)
+ Man’s good works (pΔV)

__________________________
Man’s just rewards after the fire (ΔH)
For “each man's work will become evident; for the day will
show it because it is to be revealed with fire, and the fire itself
will test the quality of each man's work. If any man's work
which he has built on it remains, he will receive a reward. If
any man's work is burned up, he will suffer loss; but he
188
himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.” (1 Corinthians
3:13-15)
And man’s work began from the days of our forefathers, for
the foreskin of man’s flesh was removed on the eighth. And it
was on the eighth day, that Abraham and his sons and his
servants were circumcised. (Genesis 17:12) For Isaac was
circumcised on the eighth day. (Genesis 21:4) And the
forefathers were circumcised on the eighth day. (Acts 7:8)
And each male child was circumcised on the eighth day.
(Leviticus 12:3) And our Lord was circumcised on the eighth
day. (Luke 2:21) For a new man is formed by the circumcision
of the flesh. For circumcision comes not from the foreskin of
our loins, but from the foreskin of enslavement to this world.
But “‘behold, the days are coming,’ declares the Lord, ‘that I
will punish all who are circumcised and yet uncircumcised.’”
(Jeremiah 9:25)
And the court of the second temple was built in eight, in

semblance of the judgment to come. For when the temple was
restored, for eight days the courtyard was cleansed. (2
Chronicles 29:17) And the new temple shall be built in eight,
in semblance of the judgment to come. For there will be eight
steps that lead to the court. (Ezekiel 40:31) And there will be
eight tables of sacrifice in the court. (Ezekiel 40:41) And the
prophecy foretold, that the court outside the temple would be
cleansed. “Leave out the court which is outside the temple and
do not measure it, for it has been given to the nations; and they
will tread under foot the holy city for forty-two months.”
(Revelation 11:2) For each man in the court, must be
sacrificed in the court, before he may enter the temple of God.
189
But after the judgment, God shall save mankind in eight. For
after the wrath of the flood, eight people were saved in the ark.
(1 Peter 3:20) And after eight days the lepers were cleansed,
that they could enter the tent. (Leviticus 14:23) And any man
whose skin had a sore, after eight days of cleansing could
enter the tent. (Leviticus 15:14) And on the eighth day, the
Day of Atonement was held. (Leviticus 23:36) And on the
eighth year after seven times seven years, the Jubilee of His
people was celebrated. (Leviticus 25:22)
And the prophets foretold that this day would come. And the
fire of judgment shall burn, before man shall be accepted by
God. For “‘when they have completed the days, it shall be
that on the eighth day and onward, the priests shall offer your
burnt offerings on the altar, and your peace offerings; and I
will accept you,’ declares the Lord God.” (Ezekiel 43:27) And
after the seventh bowl is poured out, “the beast which was and
is not, is himself also an eighth and is one of the seven, and he
goes to destruction.” (Revelations 17:11) And the great riddle
is who are the seven, and who is the eighth that goes to
destruction? For the scripture reveals the answer to this
question. For the seven rulers are the seven angels of Satan,
who rule the seven realms which exist. And their names
represent the seven-fold nature of the week. And “the first is
Athoth...the second is Eloaios...the third is Astaphaios...the
fourth is Yao...the fifth is Sabaoth...the sixth is Adonin..and
the seventh is Sabbataios...this is the sevenfold nature of the
week”. (Apocrypha of John) For it is time which is the beast
and the last enemy of mankind. And the eighth beast who
“was and is not” is Sabaoth, for “seven archangels stand
before the throne. Sabaoth is the eighth and he has authority”.
(Nag Hammadi “On the Origin of the World”).
190
And when the eighth ruler is destroyed, the kingdom of God
shall be complete, and the Lord shall reign forever and ever.
And “the Lamb will overcome them, because He is Lord of
lords and King of kings, and those who are with Him are the
called and chosen and faithful.” (Revelation 17:14) “And there
will no longer be any night; and they will not have need of the
light of a lamp nor the light of the sun, because the Lord God
will illumine them; and they will reign forever and ever.”
(Revelation 22:5)

Christ is the Way
Signs, Science, & Symbols of the Prophecy
I am the way, the truth, and the life.

No one comes to the Father except through Me.
John 14:6
What does π look like? π is a gate, the design upon which

the temples were built. And π is an infinite and
transcendental number, a number not understood in finite
mortal terms. And Einstein said that if he could
comprehend π, then he could comprehend God, for π is
the number of God. And it truly is. And what does π look
like? It is the narrow gate, for it represents Christ who is
the Gate. And do you remember what He said on the
Mount? “Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is
wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction,
and there are many who enter through it. For the gate is
small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are
few who find it.” (Matthew 7:12-13) For we all were created
by the Father, and we all have fallen away from the Father.
But Christ interceded on our behalf, and gave us the
gateway to return to the Father.
But to complete the circle back to the Father, we must go

through Christ who is the narrow Gate. And what is the
formula to complete the circle? The formula of
192
circumference = π • diameter. Circumference is the path to
return to the Father, and diameter is the distance you are
away from the Father. And Solomon was told when he
constructed the temple, that value of π was equal to 3,
“ten cubits from one brim to the other; it was completely
round…and a line of thirty cubits measured its
circumference.” (1 Kings 7:23) And obviously that
answer was far from complete. For many have come
close, but no one on their own has returned to the
Father. For this is humanly impossible, for π is an infinite
number. Until Christ the Son came down to mankind, for
He is the Gate “the way, the truth, and the life. No one can
go to the Father except through Me.” (John 14:6) Christ is
π. When we go through Him, then we return to the Father.
But no one can return to the Father except through Hiim!
193
Christ = π = The Narrow Gate
Circumference = π • diameter
Circumference = path back to the Father
diameter = distance between you & the Father

We Will Be One With God
The number one symbolizes unity, and God is the Unity of all,
for we as His people are in union with God. For as the Lord
said “the glory which You have given Me I have given to
them, that they may be one, just as We are one”. (John 17:22)
And the number one has many unique mathematical

properties:
For any number x: x times 1 is equal to x
One is defined as an automorphic number for one is in all

things, for one can be placed in any numerical value. And
God is automorphic for He is in all things, for He is “One God
and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all.”
(Ephesians 4:6)
For any number x: x divided by x is equal 1
And any number divided by itself is one. And any kingdom,

and any house, and even Satan when divided against itself,
cannot stand but returns to one. “If a kingdom is divided
against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. If a house is divided
against itself, that house will not be able to stand. If Satan has
200
risen up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand, but he
is finished!”(Mark 3:24-27)
For any number x: x0 is equal to 1
And any number raised to its original value is one. For all
were created and shall return to the Father. For “do we not all
have one father? Has not one God created us?” (Malachi 2:10)
For any power x: 1x is equal to 1
And the One who is the Father shall transfer power to His
people. And the One who is the Son shall raise them up on
that day. For as the Son foretold “no one can come to Me
unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him
up on the last day.” (John 6:44)
And one is the atomic number of hydrogen, the atom of the

universe which exists in all things. And God is the Creator of
the universe, and God the “All in All” exists in all things. For
“when all things are subjected to Him, then the Son Himself
also will be subjected to the One who subjected all things to
Him, so that God may be all in all.”(1 Corinthians 15:28) The
word “hydrogen” is derived from the Latin word hydrogenium
which means “water”. And the Father is the water which is
201
the sustenance of all life. “Then he showed me a river of the
water of life, clear as crystal, coming from the throne of God
and of the Lamb”. (Revelation 22:1) But when man “attempts”
to change hydrogen, and when man “attempts” to change God,
then the end shall soon come. For when hydrogen is altered
then chaos ensues: “And I saw something like a sea of glass
mixed with fire.” (Revelation 15:2)
Marshall Islands: The First Hydrogen Bomb 1946
And the value of alpha in the Greek alphabet is one. And God
is the Alpha, the first and the beginning of all things. “I am
the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning
and the end.” (Revelation 22:13) For there is one God and all
men shall soon “know that the Lord is God; there is no one
else.” (1 Kings 8:60) For He is “called the God of all the
earth.” (Isaiah 54:5) And God is to be feared for “nothing on
earth is like Him, One made without fear”. (Job 41:33) And
202
God is “the Mighty One, God, the Lord,” who “summoned the
earth from the rising of the sun to its setting.” (Psalms 50:1)
And God is “the One forming light and creating darkness,
causing well-being and creating calamity.” (Isaiah 45:7) And
God “is the Judge; He puts down one and exalts another.”
(Psalms 75:7) For “‘to whom then will you liken Me that I
would be his equal?’ says the Holy One.” (Isaiah 40:25)
For “One like a Son of Man is coming”. (Daniel 7:13-14) For

“the one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man”
(Matthew 13:37) For the Son will “go forth for Me to be ruler
in Israel.” (Micah 5:2) For all things were given to the Son by
the Father, and the Son who is the Light reveals the Father to
all men. (Matthew 11:27) For as the Son said, “I and the
Father are one.” (John 10:30) And “the One who has shone in
our hearts to give the Light of the knowledge of the glory of
God in the face of Christ.” (2 Corinthians 4:6) And now “One
is your Father, He who is in heaven” and “One is your Leader,
that is, Christ.”(Matthew 23:8-10)
And God is at one with us through the Holy Spirit. For as the
Lord said of the Spirit “I will give them one heart, and put a
new spirit within them. And I will take the heart of stone out
of their flesh and give them a heart of flesh.” (Ezekiel 11:19)
For “the one who joins himself to the Lord is one spirit with
Him.” (1 Corinthians 6:17) And now “there is one body and
one Spirit, just as also you were called in one hope of your
calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father
of all who is over all and through all and in all.” (Ephesians
203
4:4-6) And the day will soon come, when “the Spirit and the
bride say, ‘Come.’ And let the one who hears say, ‘Come.’
And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who wishes
take the water of life without cost.” (Revelation 22:17)
For as the Son promised “the one who comes to Me I will

certainly not cast out.” (John 6:37) For His people “who are
many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one
of another.” (Romans 12:5) And His people are “one flock
with one shepherd.”(John 10:16) For as the Son said “the
glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that
they may be one, just as we are one.” (John 17:22) “And they
will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of His
hand.” (John 10:28) For the one who confesses to the Son, in
the end, the Son shall confess to the Father. (1 John 2:23)
But man remains at enmity with God. For those who are not at
one with God, are at one with the ruler of this earth who is
Satan. For “who is the liar but the one who denies that Jesus is
the Christ? This is the antichrist, the one who denies the
Father and the Son.” (1 John 2:22) And as the Son said to each
man of the Father, “the one who listens to you listens to Me,
and the one who rejects you rejects Me; and he who rejects
Me rejects the One who sent Me.” (Luke 10:16) For no man
can serve both God and mammon, and no man can serve this
earth and the One. (Matthew 6:24) And on that day, the Son
shall judge between the “one who serves God” and the “one
who does not serve Him.” (Malachi 3:18)
204
And on that day His people shall return and “will truly rely on
the Lord, the Holy One of Israel.” (Isaiah 10:20) And “the
saints of the Highest One will receive the kingdom and
possess the kingdom forever” (Daniel 7:18) “And the Lord
will be king over all the earth; in that day the Lord will be the
only one, and His name the only one.” (Zechariah 14:9)

He will burn up the chaff with

unquenchable fire.
Matthew 3:12
God’s kingdom is ordered
“Truly is not my house so with God? For He has made an

everlasting covenant with me, Ordered in all things, and
secured; For all my salvation and all my desire, Will He not
indeed make it grow? But the worthless, every one of them
will be thrust away like thorns, Because they cannot be taken
in hand” 2 Samuel 23:5-6
“Jesus answered, ‘My kingdom is not of this world. If My

kingdom were of this world, then My servants would be
fighting so that I would not be handed over to the Jews; but as
it is, My kingdom is not of this realm.’” John 18:36
206
“If the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before
it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love
its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you
out of the world, because of this the world hates you.” John
15:18-19
“Command the sons of Israel that they bring to you clear oil
from beaten olives for the light, to make a lamp burn
continually. Outside the veil of testimony in the tent of
meeting, Aaron shall keep it in order from evening to
morning before the LORD continually; it shall be a perpetual
statute throughout your generations. He shall keep the lamps
in order on the pure gold lampstand before the LORD
continually.” Leviticus 24:2-4
This universe is ruled by Satan
“Again, the devil took Him to a very high mountain and

showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory;
and he said to Him, ‘All these things I will give You, if You
fall down and worship me.’” Matthew 4:8-9
“For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and
forfeits his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his
soul?” Matthew 16:26
“He who loves his life loses it, and he who hates his life in this
world will keep it to life eternal.” John 12:25
207
“I will not speak much more with you, for the ruler of the
world is coming, and he has nothing in Me.” John 14:30
Entropy and disorder, the laws of Satan, govern this

universe
“To the land of darkness and deep shadow, The land of utter
gloom as darkness itself, Of deep shadow without order, And
which shines as the darkness.” Job 10:22
“But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your

heart, do not be arrogant and so lie against the truth. This
wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is
earthly, natural, demonic. For where jealousy and selfish
ambition exist, there is disorder and every evil thing.” James
3:14-15
Only God allows order in this universe
“Thus says the LORD, Who gives the sun for light by day And
the fixed order of the moon and the stars for light by night,
Who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar; The LORD of
hosts is His name” Jeremiah 31:35
208
We must emulate His order
“But all things must be done properly and in an orderly

manner.” 1 Corinthians 14:40
“They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth. As You sent Me
into the world, I also have sent them into the world.” John
17:16-18
“Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with

humility of mind regard one another as more important than
yourselves; do not merely look out for your own personal
interests, but also for the interests of others. Have this attitude
in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, who, although
He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with
God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the
form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of
men.” Philippians 2:3-7
The order of this universe is coming to an end
“‘If this fixed order departs From before Me,’ declares the
LORD, ‘Then the offspring of Israel also will cease From
being a nation before Me forever.’” Jeremiah 31:36
“But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits
of those who are asleep. For since by a man came death, by a
man also came the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam
209
all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive. But each in his
own order: Christ the first fruits, after that those who are
Christ's at His coming, then comes the end, when He hands
over the kingdom to the God and Father, when He has
abolished all rule and all authority and power. For He must
reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet. The last
enemy that will be abolished is death.” 1 Corinthians 15:20-26
“Then the seventh angel sounded; and there were loud voices
in heaven, saying, ‘The kingdom of the world has become the
kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ; and He will reign
forever and ever.’” Revelation 11:15
210
This Universe is Ruled by Disorder or Entropy
The laws of thermodynamics explain the physical laws, the

laws of the behavior of energy in this universe. And the first
law of thermodynamics is the law of conservation, that energy
can be transferred but is neither created nor destroyed.
And energy exists in five different forms: radiant > chemical >
physical > electrical > heat. And the highest form is radiant
energy, and the lowest form is heat energy, and energy is
converted from one form into another.
And the second law of thermodynamics is the law of the

degradation of energy, that the quality of energy is degraded
irreversibly over time. And when energy is converted from
one form to another, degraded energy is lost and is unable to
produce further work. And this degraded energy is called
entropy or S.
The thermodynamic process always proceeds, from a system

with a high quality of potential energy and a low amount of
entropy, into a system with a low quality of expended energy
and a high amount of entropy. And the form of energy with
the highest amount of entropy is heat energy, and the transfer
of energy can be summarized as follows:
211
Equation 1:
High quality energy + low entropy → Low quality energy + high entropy
And the mathematical representation of a change in entropy is

ΔS, where entropy increases as a function of heat, which is
mathematically represented by ΔQ. Thus, where T represents
the absolute temperature of the system:
Equation 2:
Thus entropy increases as heat increases. And in fact, many

physicists have hypothesized that the universe is fated to a
“heat death”, in which all energy ends up as a homogenous
distribution of thermal energy, and no further useful energy
exists.
For the powers of the universe, follow the laws of entropy.

And the powers of this universe are governed, by the powers
of its ruler who is Satan. And when the fire of the wrath
ensues, entropy or the power of Satan will increase, for as it
says, “Woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has
212
come down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he has
only a short time.” (Revelation 12:12) And when the radiance
of the Son returns, His winnowing fork will gather His wheat,
and will throw out the chaff of perdition. “And His
winnowing fork is in His hand, and He (high quality energy
from the radiance of the Son) will thoroughly clear His
threshing floor; and He will gather His wheat (low entropy)
into the barn, but He will burn up the chaff (high entropy)
with unquenchable fire (low quality energy).” (Matthew
3:12)
From Equation 1:
Radiance of the Son + Wheat → Fire + Chaff
From Equation 2:
213
And the world in which we live in, is an imperfect image of
the kingdom of God. For the laws of this earth are contrary, to
the laws that exist in His kingdom. For where there is order in
heaven, there is disorder on earth. And where the heavens
exceed in all things, the earthly kingdom fails in all things.
For King David spoke of the order of God’s house, “Truly is
not my house so with God? For He has made an everlasting
covenant with me, ordered in all things, and secured” (2
Samuel 23:5-6) And the Lord reaffirmed that His house was
above, for He said “My kingdom is not of this world. If My
kingdom were of this world, then My servants would be
fighting so that I would not be handed over to the Jews; but as
it is, My kingdom is not of this realm.”(John 18:36) And now
being servants of Christ, we are not of this world, but are
inheritors of His kingdom. And just as Christ died for our
sins, so must we suffer for Him, that His heavenly kingdom
may be advanced. For as He forewarned us, “if you were of
the world, the world would love its own; but because you are
not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, because of
this the world hates you.”(John 15:18-19) But He shall return,
for His priests were commanded to keep order in His temple,
to “keep the lamps in order on the pure gold lampstand before
the LORD continually.” (Leviticus 24:2-4) For as the Lord
said to His bride, “be dressed in readiness, and keep your
lamps lit.”(Luke 12:34)
For the realm of this world, is an imperfect image of the

kingdom to come, for the ruler of this world is not God, but
the ruler of this world is Satan. For when Satan tempted the
Lord in the desert, did Satan not tempt Him with the
inheritance of this earth? (Matthew 4:8-9) And though Satan
would be a fool, to offer this world to a mortal man, the Lord
214
still gave us this solemn warning, “for what will it profit a man
if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what will
a man give in exchange for his soul?” (Matthew 16:26) Thus
we are not to place hope in this world, for this world is
perishable, but to place our hope in the heavens above, for the
heavens are eternal, for “he who loves his life loses it, and he
who hates his life in this world will keep it to life eternal.”
(John 12:25) And before the Lord departed, He promised that
Satan would return, “I will not speak much more with you, for
the ruler of the world is coming, and he has nothing in Me.”
(John 14:30) And by our Lord’s descent into hell and His
rising into heaven, Satan was bound for one thousand years.
But Satan was released back into this world, and has ruled it
with great power and deception. As it says “when the
thousand years were completed; after these things he must be
released for a short time.” (Revelation 20:3)
And the laws of entropy which govern this world, have a

tremendous impact on our view of the universe. For if we
truly believe in the laws of entropy, then the only future for
mankind is annihilation and death. And when God withheld
His blessings from Job, Job succinctly called this world, “the
land of darkness and deep shadow, the land of utter gloom as
darkness itself, of deep shadow without order, and which
shines as the darkness.” (Job 10:22) And James spoke of the
wisdom which governs this universe, “this wisdom is not that
which comes down from above, but is earthly, natural,
demonic. For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there
is disorder and every evil thing.” (James 3:14-15) But by
God’s grace and His loving mercy, we have some semblance
of His order, for it is not by the laws of Satan, that the sun
215
gives us light by day, and the moon gives us light by night, but
it is by the power of God alone. (Jeremiah 31:35)
And now as servants of God we are taught, to emulate the

laws which govern His kingdom, the laws of love and
forgiveness and order. For as Paul said, “all things must be
done properly and in an orderly manner.” (1 Corinthians
14:40) For we are not servants of this world, but were sent in
this world as servants of God, to spread the Word of His
sacrifice for mankind. (John 17:16-18) And by our servitude,
God commands us to be His bond servants, to walk on the
earth as Christ did, without selfishness or hatred or conceit,
but “regarding one another as more important than ourselves.”
(Philippians 2:3-7)
But few have followed His commands, and God will remove
that which He controls, the order of this world and the
universe. For the prophets of old foretold, that the fixed order
of this world would end, “‘if this fixed order departs from
before Me,’ declares the LORD, ‘then the offspring of Israel
also will cease from being a nation before Me forever.’”
(Jeremiah 31:36) For as the Lord promised, mankind will
never again be destroyed by water, for this time mankind will
be destroyed by fire. And the Lord will return and harvest his
fruits, “but each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, after
that those who are Christ's at His coming, then comes the end,
when He hands over the kingdom to the God and Father, when
He has abolished all rule and all authority and power. For He
must reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet.
The last enemy that will be abolished is death.” (1 Corinthians
15:20-26) For the author of death is Satan, and the author of
life is the Father. For Satan is EVIL, but the Lord reverses all
216
things, so that man can LIVE. And when the seventh angel
has completed his task, Christ the Lamb will be victorious.
For no longer will Satan rule this world, for “the kingdom of
the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His
Christ; and He will reign forever and ever.” (Revelation
11:15)

Addendum 9
The Greek Alphabet and God, the Author of Creation
Completed September 15, 2007
“My heart is overflowing with a good theme; I recite my

composition concerning the King; My tongue is the pen of a
ready writer.” (Psalms 45:1)
α The Father, The Beginning
Numerical value = 1
“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”
(Genesis 1:1)
What is alpha?
It is the first letter of the alphabet and represents the number 1.

But more importantly it represents God the Father, the author
and the letter of all creation. “‘I am the Alpha and the Omega,’
says the Lord God, ‘who is and who was and who is to come,
the Almighty.’” (Revelation 1:8) In the system of Greek
numbers, the number 1 represents singleness and unity, just as
the Father is Oneness, Unity, and completeness in Himself.
For the Father is the all in all. “When all things are subjected
to Him, then the Son Himself also will be subjected to the One
218
who subjected all things to Him, so that God may be all in
all.” (1 Corinthians 15:28)
The symbol also resembles a “fish”, the universal symbol for

Christianity. The origin of this symbol comes from a Greek
translation of the verse, “Jesus Christ, Son of God Savior;
Iesous Christos Theou Yios Soter.” The first letters of each of
these Greek words, when put together spell “ichthys”, the
Greek word for “fish” (IX ӨY Σ). And in His image, He taught
His disciples to be fishers of men.
“Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.” (Matthew

4:19)
219
Ω God, The End
Numerical value = 800
“‘I am the Alpha and the Omega,’ says the Lord God, ‘who is
and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.’” (Revelation
1:8)
What is omega?
It is the final letter of the Greek alphabet. But more

importantly it represents God, the final and eternal author and
letter of creation. “Behold, I am coming quickly, and My
reward is with Me, to render to every man according to what
he has done. ‘I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the
last, the beginning and the end.’” (Revelation 22:12-13)
It is also the 24th letter of the Greek alphabet, just as God will
return in the 24th hour, to destroy Satan and his dominion on
earth. “Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city!
For in one hour your judgment has come.” (Revelation 18:10)
And the literal meaning of the word is “great” (mega - mega

meaning great). And it is reflected in the Muslim verse, “God
is great”. “For You are great and do wondrous deeds; You
alone are God.” (Psalms 86:10)
Finally what does the symbol look like? For yes, it is a

nuclear mushroom! “And I saw something like a sea of glass
mixed with fire.” (Revelation 15:2)
220
The Omega - The End
221
Π Christ, The Gate
"Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is
the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go
in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way
which leads to life, and there are few who find it.” (Matthew
7:13)
What does Π look like? It is a gate back to the Father, just as

Christ is the Way the Truth and the Life, for He is the narrow
Gate. Einstein once said that Π was the number of God, and
that if he could figure out what Π represented, then He could
figure out who God is, because it is the number of God. And
it truly is for Christ is the transcendental number Π.
We all originate from the Father, and have fallen away from
Him. Christ interceded on our behalf, and gave us the Gate to
return to the Father. To complete the circle of life, we must go
through Christ the Gate. And what is the formula to complete
the circle? It is C = Π • d for circumference, the path back to
the Father, is equal to Π times the diameter, the distance
between you and the Father. Solomon was commanded by
God to build His temple, and was told that Π was equal to 3.
“Now he made the sea of cast metal ten cubits from brim to
brim... and thirty cubits in circumference.”(1 Kings 7:23).
And obviously, that was nowhere close to returning to the
Father. And there are now computers programs, that calculate
the value of Π to millions of decimal places, yet they are all
wrong. Many have come close, but none has returned to the
Father on their own accord, because Π is infinite and man is
222
not. That is until Christ came. For He is the Way the Truth
and the Life, for He is the narrow Gate. No one can go to the
Father except through Him. When we go through Him, then
we will return to the Father. No one can return to the
Father except through Him!
And what does this symbol represent? This represents theta

(θ) the symbol of the Son of God. (more on theta at a future
date)
“I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the
Father but through Me.” (John 14:14)
223
ι Iota, The Holy Spirit
“But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send
in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your
remembrance all things that I said to you.” (John 14:26)
Iota is a beautiful number, because like the Holy Spirit, it may

appear insignificant and is often invisible, but in actuality is
ubiquitous and powerful. “Where can I go from Your Spirit?
Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend to
heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, You
are there. If I take the wings of the dawn, If I dwell in the
remotest part of the sea, Even there Your hand will lead me,
And Your right hand will lay hold of me. If I say, ‘Surely the
darkness will overwhelm me, And the light around me will be
night,’ Even the darkness is not dark to You, And the night is
as bright as the day. Darkness and light are alike to You.”
(Psalms 139:7-12)
Iota may be the smallest letter of the Greek alphabet, but in

Greek numerals iota represents the powerful value of 10. The
number ten represents perfection and productivity. In like
manner, the Holy Spirit is God’s perfection, and gives His
servants great productivity. In mathematics, it is the root of
our numerical system. The reason for this choice is assumed
to be that humans have ten fingers or digits. The number 10 is
a powerful and productive number because the value of any
integer can be increased tenfold simply by adding a zero to the
end of it. And interestingly, the Chinese numeral for ten
resembles a cross. And of course, the number 10 is repeated
224
throughout the history of God. For the Israelites were
instructed to give one-tenth of their produce to God, and
God’s finger wrote on stone the Ten Commandments, and
God inflicted Egypt with Ten Plagues. Therefore, just as the
iota represents numerical power, perfection and productivity,
the Holy Spirit represents Godly power and perfection and
spiritual productivity. In other words, the gifts of the Spirit
produce great power through the fruits of our labor. “For our
gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power
and in the Holy Spirit” (1 Thessalonians 1:5)
Iota is also used as a marker of pronunciation by diphthongs.

Before the development of the classical Greek alphabet, there
was no way of distinguishing between long and short vowels.
Thus diphthongs, or iotas, were added to the words to
distinguish the pronunciation of these vowels. And these
iotas can now be seen throughout various languages including
the Czech, Dutch, English, Faroese, Finnish, French, German,
Hungarian, Icelandic, Italian, Latvian, Northern Sami,
Norwegian, Portuguese, Romanian, and Spanish languages.
So just as the iota has ubiquitously influenced the
pronunciation of many languages, so has the Holy Spirit
ubiquitously penetrated the voice of all the nations. “But
whatever is given you in that hour, speak that; for it is not you
who speak, but the Holy Spirit.” (Mark 13:11) “And they were
all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other
tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.” (Acts 2:4)
The iota has also penetrated the written languages and the
artistry of the world. The iota was written as an ‘iota
subscript’ in the original languages. The ‘iota subscript’ is a
way of writing the letter iota as a small vertical stroke beneath
225
a vowel. Eventually, they became incorporated as serifs, or
non-structural details, on the ends of strokes that make up
letters and symbols.
For example:
CHRIST = serif CHRIST = no serif
These embellishments were also incorporated into the Asian

and Aramaic written languages. Thus, just as the iota has
penetrated all the written and artistic languages, so has the
Holy Spirit penetrated the written and artistic languages of all
the nations. “And I have filled him with the Spirit of God, in
wisdom, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all manner of
workmanship, to design artistic works, to work in gold, in
silver, in bronze, in cutting jewels for setting, in carving wood,
and to work in all manner of workmanship.” (Exodus 31:3-5)
And like the letter of the languages of the nations, our hearts
have become the letter of the Spirit. “You are our letter,
written in our hearts, known and read by all men; being
manifested that you are a letter of Christ, cared for by us,
written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not
on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.” (2
Corinthians 3:2-3)
“For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away,
one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all
is fulfilled.” (Matthew 5:18) And this is the one scriptural
passage that directly refers to the letter iota. “Jot” translates to
226
“iota” in Greek, and is paraphrased as “not one iota of
difference”. This was the foundation of the theological debate
at the First Council of Nicaea regarding the nature of the
Trinity. The argument centered on which of two Greek words,
differing only by a single “iota”, should be used to distinguish
Jesus’ relationship in the Holy Trinity. One word
“homoousious” meant that Jesus was of the same substance as
God the Father, and the other “homoiousious” meant that
Jesus was of a similar substance. The verdict, of course, was
that they are “homoousious”. They are all of the same
substance ...the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are
Three in One: the Holy Trinity.
And the numerical values of the Greek symbols that pertain to

the Trinity are as follows:
α =1
Π = 80
ι = 10
Ω = 800
If the Trinity is One, then Ω = α • Π • ι
800 = 1 • 80 • 10
800 = 800
Thus, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are One!
227
Finally in mathematics, the imaginary unit, iota, allows the
real numerical system to be extended into the complex
numerical system. Real numbers are those numbers that can be
represented by “real” numerical values; in other words,
numbers that exist in the “real world”. Complex numbers are
also called imaginary numbers, and represent those numbers
that were once thought to be nonexistent, but presently are
utilized to understand quantum physics and the theory of
relativity. The numerical value of an imaginary unit is:
ι = √−1 which is an impossible value by real number

mathematics.
In other words, they are numbers that presently do not exist in

our physical world, but do exist in another realm (a parallel
universe); a realm that we do not yet understand. Thus, as the
imaginary unit, iota, in mathematics is used to transcend
numbers from a real set of values into an imaginary set of
values, so does the Holy Spirit transcend mankind from the
mortal realm of this earth, to the eternal realm of the Father’s
kingdom. “Immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a
throne was standing in heaven, and One sitting on the throne.”
(Revelations 2:4)

An Interlude
Sealing the 144,000
After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of

the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth, so that
no wind would blow on the earth or on the sea or on any
tree. And I saw another angel ascending from the rising of
the sun, having the seal of the living God; and he cried out
with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was granted
to harm the earth and the sea, saying, "Do not harm the
earth or the sea or the trees until we have sealed the bond-
servants of our God on their foreheads."
Revelation 7:1-3
The dates of the great quake have been delayed so that the
prophecy may be fulfilled. For time is always subject to
God, as His servants and angels complete the task at hand.
For their task is to seal the 144,000 and complete the fifth
seal before the sixth seal is opened.
And the word seal means "to confirm or to make secure".

(Merriam-Webster Dictionary) For seal is derived from
the Greek root sphragis which means "a signet". And the
four angels have held back the winds of God's wrath until
the 144,000 have been sealed. For the Lord shall seal them
with the signet of His ring, the sign of the King on their
231
foreheads. "Then I looked, and behold, the Lamb was
standing on Mount Zion, and with Him one hundred and
forty-four thousand, having His name and the name of His
Father written on their foreheads." (Revelation 14:1-5)
For the Father sealed His promise of treasure and

trepidation from the beginning. "Is it not laid up in store
with Me, sealed up in My treasuries? Vengeance is Mine,
and retribution, in due time their foot will slip; for the day
of their calamity is near, and the impending things are
hastening upon them. " (Deuteronomy 32:34-35) And the
prophecy has been sealed until the end. For as He told His
prophet Daniel, "'Go your way, Daniel, for these words are
concealed and sealed up until the end time. Many will be
purged, purified and refined, but the wicked will act
wickedly; and none of the wicked will understand, but
those who have insight will understand. From the time that
the regular sacrifice is abolished and the abomination of
desolation is set up, there will be 1,290 days. How blessed
is he who keeps waiting and attains to the 1,335 days!"
(Daniel 12:9-12)
And now the Lion has returned, and He is worthy to open

the seals of the prophecy. For "I saw in the right hand of
Him who sat on the throne a book written inside and on the
back, sealed up with seven seals. And I saw a strong angel
proclaiming with a loud voice, 'Who is worthy to open the
book and to break its seals?' And no one in heaven or on
the earth or under the earth was able to open the book or to
look into it. Then I began to weep greatly because no one
was found worthy to open the book or to look into it; and
one of the elders said to me, 'Stop weeping; behold, the
232
Lion that is from the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has
overcome so as to open the book and its seven seals.'"
(Revelation 5:1-5) And the Lion has purchased the seal of
the saints to reign upon the earth. "And they sang a new
song, saying, 'Worthy are You to take the book and to
break its seals; for You were slain, and purchased for God
with Your blood men from every tribe and tongue and
people and nation. You have made them to be a kingdom
and priests to our God; and they will reign upon the earth."
(Revelation 5:9-10)
And His saints wait patiently for the fifth seal to be

completed. For "when the Lamb broke the fifth seal, I saw
underneath the altar the souls of those who had been slain
because of the word of God, and because of the testimony
which they had maintained; and they cried out with a loud
voice, saying, 'How long, O Lord , holy and true, will You
refrain from judging and avenging our blood on those who
dwell on the earth?' And there was given to each of them a
white robe; and they were told that they should rest for a
little while longer, until the number of their fellow servants
and their brethren who were to be killed even as they had
been, would be completed also." (Revelation 6:9-11) And
now we wait patiently while the 144,000 are sealed. For
when the sixth seal is opened, then all men will know that
the end is near.
