The Gospel of Freedom

I have toying with this project, and have decided this is a good time to do it. The moderators should feel free to move it if needed.

Many years ago I was interested in Bible Prophesies. I had developed significant skills translating collective human symbolism, so I thought I would try to explain the symbols of Bible Prophesies with this knowledge. As I read through Revelations, I was struck by what appeared to be a warning not to add or take away words, which sort put the kibosh on my original approach, since my analysis would add words. As I pondered how to proceed and not add words, it struck me, that maybe that was not a warning, but a hint.

As I thought about it, one way to satisfy the conditions of the hint; do not add or take away, was if I looked at bible prophesy, like these were the pieces of a puzzle, that were all mixed up. I simply needed to rearrange the pieces that were scrambled throughout bible, until the puzzle was built and the story tells itself.

I bought a bible and hi-lighted the entire bible from Genesis to Revelations, like a textbook, looking for any quote that hinted any connection to any prophesy. I then hired a neighbor gal, who was good at tying, and she went through my bible and typed it into a text file on my old DOS and floppy disk computer; circa 1980's. I then printed all the pages, and then cut all the separate quotes, with scissors, into the puzzle pieces. I then spread them out on my living room floor. I then start to assemble the puzzle using the four horseman of the apocalypse as the center hub. I found it to be a four act play; sign of the cross.

After I assembled the prophesy puzzle, and I had many pieces left over that I had hi-lighted. They did not exactly fit in the main puzzle. These turned out to form a smaller secondary puzzle, that I called the Gospel of Freedom. I used it to set the stage for first act in the main prophesy puzzle. I thought I would present what I called the Gospel of Freedom, in sections, starting tomorrow. Below is the outline.

THE GOSPEL OF FREEDOM



CHRIST AND DIVISION


Luke 12:51-53, Do you suppose that I came to grant peace on earth? I tell you, no, but rather division; for from now on five members in one household will be divided, three against two, and two against three. They will be divided, father against son, and son against father, mother against daughter, and daughter against mother-in-law , and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.

Hebrews 4:12, 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.

Ephesians 2:14-16, For he himself is our peace, who made both groups into one, and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall, by abolishing in his flesh the enmity, which is the law of commandments contained in ordinances, that in himself he might make the two into one new man, thus establishing peace, and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, by it having put to death the enmity.

Romans 5:1-2, Therefore having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we exult in hope of the glory of God. '


NATURE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT


John 16:7-11, But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the helper shall not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. And he, when he comes will convict the world concerning sin, and righteousness, and judgment; concerning sin, because they do not believe in me; and concerning righteousness, because I go to the father, and you no longer behold me; and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.

John 14:16-17, And I will ask the father, and he will give you another helper, that he may be with you forever; that is the spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it.does not behold him or know him, but you know him because he abides with you, and will be in you.

John I: 5:6-8, This is the one who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not with the water only, but with the water and with the blood. And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is the truth. For there are three that bear witness, the Spirit and the water and the blood; and these three are in agreement.

Tim. I 1:5-7, But the goal of our instruction is love from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith. For some men, straying from these things, have turned aside to fruitless discussion, wanting to be teachers of the Law, even though they do not understand either what they are saying or the matters about which they make confident assertions.

Galatians 5:22-23, But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.

Galatians 1:11-12, For I would have you know, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man. For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ.

Hebrews 11:6, And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.

Hebrews 11:1-2, Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen, For by it the men of old gained approval.

Corinthians I: 2:7-8, But we speak God's wisdom in mystery, the hidden wisdom, which God predestined before the ages to our glory; the wisdom which none of the rulers of this age has understood; for if they had understood it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

Corinthians II: 7:10, For the sorrow that is according to the will of God produces a repentance without regret, leading to salvation; but the sorrow of the world produces death.

Mat. 12: 31-32, Therefore I say to you, any sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven men, but blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven. And whoever shall speak a word against the son of man, it shall be forgiven him; but whoever shall speak against the holy spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, either in this age, or in the age to come.

Corinthians I: 2:4-5, And my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith should not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God.

Corinthians II: 10:5, We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.

LAW AND THE TONGUE


Tim. I 4:4-5, For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected, if it is received with gratitude; for it is sanctified by means of the word of God and prayer.

Romans 14:14, I know and am convinced in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself; but to him who thinks anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.

Mat. 15:11, Not what enters into the mouth defiles the man, but what proceeds out of the mouth, this defiles the man.

Mat. 15:18-20, But the things that proceed out of the mouth come from the heart and those defile the man. For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, slanders. These are the things which defile the man; but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile the man.

James 3:5-6, So also the tongue is a small part of the body, and yet it boasts of great things. Behold, how great a forest is set aflame by such a small fire! And the tongue is a fire, the very world of iniquity; the tongue is set among our members as that which defiles the entire body, and sets on fire the course of our life, and is set on fire by hell.

Ephesians 6:12, For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.


UNGODLINESS AND LOVE OF WORLD


James 5:5-6, 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 resist you.

Romans 1:18, For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness.

John I: 2:15-16, Do not love the world, nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 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.

Romans 8:6-8, 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; 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 6:19-20, For just as you presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness, resulting in further lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness, resulting in sanctification. For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness.

Ephesians 2:3-5, 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. But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgression, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved).

Galatians 5:16-18, But I say, walk by the spirit and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh. For the flesh sets its desire against the spirit, and the spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that you please. But if you are led by the spirit, you are not under the law.

An approach that I've found useful is to take a symbol, eg the sealed book, and look at what other symbols it connects to.

Daniel - knowledge increases, run to and fro
Isaiah - the learned man and the illiterate man
Revelation - the lion

The Four Horsemen each have a color and a weapon, which helps to integrate similar symbols; puzzle pieces. The number four is not just common to the four horsemen and the sign of the cross, but also to the four beasts seen in Daniel's dream, and the four living creatures near the throne of God in Revelations. White Horseman, lion of Daniel and lion of Revelations are all connected and are attributes of the same person.

The white lion is a classic symbol of wisdom; merge the symbols. The white horseman is associated with war but his white color, his gold crown, and his wisdom implies a righteous war. He is driven by the Spirit. There is also the Divine woman who is a lion with the wings of an eagle. She symbolizes wisdom or the White Horseman's female side; unconscious mind, anima and wisdom. Her plight with Satan show a shaky beginning for the early days of the white horseman; psychic pregnancy, but his intuitive vision is protected; brain child is caught up to God, until one day his wings are plucked; gets out of in his head, and the female lion is lifted up to stand on two feet as a man. Now he is the White horseman.

The gold crown is like a wedding ring but in this case his mind is married to God; divine right of kings. His choice of weapon is a bow and arrow or a long distance weapon. This has a connection to Cupid's arrow which is connected to the heart. He shoots at the heart and passes in safety by a way he is not traversing with is feet. It is like a sign of our times; internet anonymity. His main job is to gather the lost tribes of Israel and bring them back to Israel.

The first act had my favorite symbols, since it was so positive and so hopeful. The second act, is when he becomes the Red Horseman. Everyone is gathered and then the positive vibe, starts to get stressful. The Red Horseman is the (red) Bear of Daniel, built up on one side; one of the two witnesses. His counter part, appears. The Red Horseman has a sword; fights up close and personal, red is symbolic of his emotional fire.

Whereas, Jesus died for our sins, the two witnesses will be killed as guilt sacrifices and resurrected; Adam and Eve. Without sin; law, or guilt, the stage is set for the black horseman. The removal of law by Jesus never stuck, because good people still felt guilty about violating the law, even with forgiveness of sins. They could only alleviate their guilt by being perfect via the law, which was done away with. The next logical step, was to remove the bottleneck, via a sacrifice for the guilt caused by the removal of law. But after the guilt sacrifice, things shift too far the wrong way as hearts grow cold. This sets the stage for the Black Horseman to rise to power; Act 3.

I found it all to be a personal journey of transformation; software update, and not a large scale collective social change. One becomes all the characters, with a crossroads, where your deepest heart will seal your fate; faith and perseverance of the Saints. I will present the white horseman symbolism; Act 1, after the Gospel of Freedom. I am not sure about the rest just yet.

THE PRECEPTS OF MEN


Romans 12:2, And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.

James 4:4, Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

Ephesians 4:17-19, This I say therefore, and affirm together with the Lord, that you walk no longer just as the Gentiles also walk, in the futility of their mind, being darkened in their understanding, excluded from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardness of the heart; and they, having become callous, have given themselves over to sensuality, for the practice of every kind of impurity with greediness.

Corinthians II: 4:3-4, And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

Corinthians I: 1:18, For the word of the cross is to those who are perishing foolishness, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

Corinthians II: 11:3, But I am afraid, lest as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness your minds should be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ.

Romans 10: 2-4, For I bear them witness that 'they have a zeal for God, but not in accordance with knowledge. For not knowing about God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.

Colossians 2:20-23, If you have died with Christ to the elementary principles of the world, why as if you were living in the world, do you submit yourself to decrees, such as, do not handle, do not taste, do not touch! (which all refer to things destined to perish with the using) - in accordance with the commandments and teachings of men? These are matters which have, to be sure, the appearance of wisdom in self-made religion and self abasement and severe treatment of the body, but are no value against fleshy indulgence.

Colossians 2:16-17, Therefore let no one act as you judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day - things which are a mere shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ.

James 1:25-26, But one who looks intently at the perfect law, the law of liberty and abides by it, not having become a forgetful hearer but an effectual doer, this man shall be blessed in what he does. If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue but, deceives his own heart, this man's religion is worthless.

James 3:13-18, Who among you is wise and understanding? Let him show by his good behavior his deeds in the gentleness of wisdom. 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. But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, unwavering without hypocrisy. And the seed whose fruit is righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

Titus 3:9, But shun foolish controversies and genealogies and strife and disputes about the Law; for they are unprofitable and worthless.

Colossians 2:8, See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ.

Tim. I 1:3-4, That you may instruct certain men not to teach strange doctrines, nor to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which give rise to mere speculation rather than furthering the administration of God which is by faith.

Mat. 15:8-9, This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far away from me. But in vain do they worship me, teaching as their doctrines the precepts of men.

NATURE OF LAW AND SIN

Tim. I 1:8-10, But we know that the Law is good, if one uses it lawfully, realizing the fact that law is not made for a righteous man, but for those who are lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers and immoral men and homosexuals and kidnappers and liars and perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound teaching.

Corinthians I: 15:56-57, The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law; but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Romans 7:4-8, Therefore, my brethren, you also were made to die to the law through the body of Christ, that you might be joined to another, to him who was raised from the dead, that we might bear fruit for god. For while we were in the flesh, the sinful passions, which were aroused by the law, were at work in the members of our body to bear fruit for death. But 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. What shall we say then? Is the Law sin? May it never be~- On-the contrary, I would not have known about sin except through the Law; for I would not have known about coveting if the Law had not said, you shall not covet. But sin, taking opportunity through the commandment, produced in me coveting of every kind; for apart from the Law sin is dead.

Romans 7:16-17, But if I do the very thing I do not wish to do, I agree with the Law, confessing that it is good. So now, no longer am I the one doing it, but sin which indwells me.

Romans 7:21-23, I find then the principle that evil is present in me, the one who wishes to do good, for I joyfully concur with the law of god in the inner man, but I see a different 'law in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind, and making me a prisoner of the law of sin which is in my members.

Romans 5:13, For until the law sin was in the world; but sin is not imputed when there is no law.

Romans 5:20-21, And the law came in that the transgression might increase; but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, that, as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.



CHRIST AS HIGH PRIEST


Hebrews 7:15-17, And this is clearer still, if another priest arises according to the likeness of Melchizedek, who has become such not on the basis of a law of physical requirement, but according to the power of an indestructible life. For it is witnessed of Him, THOU ART A PRIEST FOREVER ACCORDING TO THE ORDER OF MELCHIZEDEK.

Hebrews 7:28, For the Law appoints men as high priests who are weak, but the word of the oath, which came after the Law, appoints a Son, made perfect forever.

Hebrews 8:4-5, Now if He were on earth, He would not be a priest at all, since there are those who offer the gifts according to the Law; who serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things.

Hebrews 9:8-9, The Holy Spirit is signifying this, that the way into the holy place has not yet been disclosed, while the outer tabernacle is still standing, which is a symbol for the present time. Accordingly both gifts and sacrifices are offered which cannot make the worshiper perfect in conscience.

Hebrews 9:11, But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things to come, He entered through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, the is to say, not of this creation.

Hebrews 9:22-23, And 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 for the copies of the things in the heavens to be cleansed with these, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

Hebrews 10:1, For the Law, since it has only a shadow of the good things to come and not the very form of things, can never by the same sacrifices year by year, which they offer continually, make perfect those who draw near.

Philippians 3:9, That I gain Christ and may be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith.

DELIVER FROM SIN


Hebrews 7:19, (for the law made nothing perfect), and on the other hand there is a bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.

Hebrews 12:2, Fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Hebrews 2:14-15, He himself likewise also partook of the same, that through death he might render powerless him who had the power of death, that is, the devil; and might deliver those who through fear of death were subject to slavery all their lives.

Colossians 1:13-15, For he delivered us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. And he is the image of the invisible God, the first born of all creation.

Colossians 2:13-14, And when you were dead in your transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, he made you alive together with him, having forgiven us all our transgressions, having cancelled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us and which was hostile to us; and he has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.

Galatians 6:8, For the one who sows to his own flesh shall from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit shall from the Spirit reap eternal life.

Corinthians I: 3:2-3, I gave you milk to drink, not solid food; for you were not yet able to receive it. Indeed, even now you are not yet able, for you are still fleshly. For since there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not fleshly, and are you not walking like mere men.


FREEDOM FROM THE YOKE OF LAW


Galatians 5:14, For the whole Law is fulfilled in one word, in the statement, you shall love your neighbor as yourself.

Colossians 3:5, Therefore consider the members of your earthly body as dead to immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed, which amounts to idolatry.

Galatians 4:31, So then, brethren, we are not children of a bondwoman, but of the free woman.

Galatians 5:1, It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery.

Corinthians I: 10:23, All things are lawful, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful, but not all things edify.

Corinthians II: 1:18-19, But as God is faithful, our word to you is not yes and no. For the Son of God, Christ Jesus, who was preached among you by us - by me and Silvanus and Timothy - was not yes and no, but is yes in Him.


THE CURSE OF BEING UNDER LAW


Romans 3:20, Because by the works of the law no flesh will be justified in his sight; for through the law comes the knowledge of sin.

Galatians 2:16, Nevertheless knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but through faith in Christ Jesus, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we may be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law; since by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

Galatians 2:21, I do not nullify the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died needlessly.

Galatians 3:10-11, For as many as are of the works of the Law are under a curse; for it is written, Cursed is everyone who does not abide by all things written in the book of the law, to perform them. Now that no one is justified by the law before God is evident; for the righteous man shall live by faith.

Galatians 3:13-14, Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us - for it is written, Cursed is every one who hands on a tree - in order that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

Galatians 4:8-9, However at that time, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those which by nature are no gods. But now that you have come to know God, how is it that you turn back again to the weak and worthless elemental things, to which you desire to be enslaved all over again?

Galatians 4:21-23, Tell me, you who want to be under law do you not listen to the law? For it is written that Abraham had two sons, One by the bondwoman and one by the free woman. But the son by the bondwoman was born according to the flesh, and the son by the free woman through the promise.

Galatians 5:4-5, You have been severed from Christ, you are seeking to be justified by the law; you have fallen from grace. For we through the Spirit, by faith ,are waiting for the hope of righteousness.

Hebrews 10:26-27, For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a certain terrifying expectation of judgment, and THE FURY OF A FIRE WHICH WILL CONSUME THE ADVERSARIES.

Peter I 4:18, And if it is with difficulty that the righteous is saved, what will become of the godless man and the sinner?


LOVE AND EDIFICATION


John I: 2: 9, The one who says he is in the light and yet hates in the darkness until now. The one who loves his in the light and there is no cause for stumbling in his brother is brother abides him.

Colossians 3:9-11, Do not lie to one another, since you laid aside the old self with its evil practices, and have put on the new self who is being renewed to a true knowledge according to the image of the one who created him, - a renewal in which there is no distinction between Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave and free man, but Christ is all, and in all.

Colossians 3:12-14, And 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. And beyond all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity.

Mat. 22:37-40, And he said to him, you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all you mind. This is the great and foremost commandment. And a second is like it, you shall love your neighbor as yourself., On these two commandments depend the whole law and the prophets.

Romans 13:10, Love does no wrong to a neighbor; love therefore is the fulfillment of the law.

Corinthians I: 13:4-7, Love is patient, love is kind, and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

John I: 4:18, There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love.


Faith versus Law


Corinthians I: 8:1, Knowledge makes arrogant, but love edifies.

Corinthians I: 14:12, So also you, since you are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek to abound for the edification of the church.

Corinthians I: 14:1, Pursue love, yet desire earnestly spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.

I did much the same about 25 years ago and left Christianity to join a synagogue.

Long story which I'll spare ya.
I never really left the Catholic Church, but rather I took that upbringing with me, to find my own way as an independent; Agnostic and Scientist. That early religious education, that I maintained, was less about a creed or community, but more about having a positive and helpful lifestyle where ever I may go. My interest in the Bible and Prophesy didn't come until I moved to the Southern USA, for an Engineering job, which landed me in the heart to the Bible Belt. The Catholic Church had their own version of the bible; Catechism, more geared to the New Testament, so I had never read from a full King James Bible common in the South, until that time.

Where I lived there were lots of small independent churches, mostly under the Southern Baptist umbrella. A girl I was dating, at the time, liked to go Church hopping each Sunday and sample various churches; big box and small independent. It through was through this "Southern Hospitality" and small church discussions, I became interested in the Bible, so I could quote scriptures, to defend my arguments. Reading the Bible was a way to practice for the local bible sports, using the rules of the friendly locals, which to quote scripture to defend your arguments. I was also very knowledgable about collective human symbolism, reading the works of Carl Jung, and started to develop my own ideas about how to address prophesy symbolism. I would test them in our friendly discussions, even at work.

The Gospel of Freedom puzzle, which I was inspired to organize, is still my working set of principles that I use today.

THE HOLY ANOINTING

Romans 4:13-15, For the promise to Abraham or to his descendants that he would be heir of the world was not through the law, but through the righteousness of faith. For if those who are of the law are heirs, faith is made void and the promise is nullified; for the law brings about wrath, but where there is no law, neither is there violation.

Romans 6:14, For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under law, but under grace.

Romans 3:21-24, But now apart from the law the righteousness of God has been manifested, being witnessed by the law and the Prophets, even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all those who believe; for there is no distinction; for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified as a gift by his grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus.

Corinthians II: 3:6, Who also made us adequate as servants of a new covenant, not of the letter, but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

Corinthians I: 5:12, All things are lawful for me, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be mastered by anything.

Romans 8:2-4, 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, in order that the requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the 'flesh, but according to the Spirit.


The Old and New Self


John I: 3:10, By this the children of God and the children of the devil are obvious; anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor the one who does not love his brother.

Romans 6:6-7, Knowing this, that out old self was crucified with him, that our body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin; for he who has died is freed from sin.

Corinthians II: 5:17, Therefore if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.

Corinthians II: 4:16, Therefore we do not lose heart but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day.

Ephesians 4:22-24, That, 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.

The Holy Calling

John I: 4:4-5, You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world; therefore they speak as from the world and the world listens to them.

John I: 2:27 And as for you, the anointing which you received in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you, your anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you abide in him

John I: 3:1, See how great a love the Father has bestowed upon us, that we should be called children on God; and such we are. For this reason the world does not know us, because it did not know him.

Romans 8:9-10, However 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. And if Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is alive because of righteousness.

Romans 8:14-16, For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, Abba! Father! The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God.

Romans 8:19-21, For the anxious longing of the creation waits' eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not of its own will, 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 God.

Romans 8:28-30, And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

Corinthians I: 9:20-22, And to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might win Jews; to those who are under the Law, as under the Law, though not being myself under the Law, that I might win those who are under the Law; to those who are without law, as without law, though not being without the law of God but under the law of Christ, that I might win those who are without Law. To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak; I have become all things to all men, that I may be all means save some.

Corinthians II: 12:9, And he has said to me, my grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness. Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weakness, that the power of Christ may dwell in me.

Philippians 4:12-13, I know how to get along with humble means, ,and I also know how to live in prosperity; in any and every circumstance I have learned the secret of being filled and going hungry, both of having abundance and suffering need. I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.

Colossians 4:6, Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned, as it were, with salt, so that you may know how you should respond to each person.

Hebrews 12:14, Pursue peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no one will see the Lord.

Peter I 3:4, But let it be the hidden person of the heart ,with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God.

James 2:5, Listen, my beloved brethren: did not God choose the poor of this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which he promised to those who love Him?

Covered Sins


Romans 3:28, For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the Law.

Romans 4:7-8, Blessed are those whose lawless deeds have been forgiven, and whose sins have been covered. Blessed is the man whose sin the lord will not take into account.

John I: 5:16-18, If anyone sees his brother committing a sin not leading to death, he shall ask and God will for him give life to those who commit sin not leading to death. There is a sin leading to death; I do not say that he should make request for this. All unrighteousness is sin, and there is a sin not leading to death. We know that no one who is born of God sins; but He who was born of God keeps him and the evil one does not touch him.

Strengthen Faith

Ephesians 3:16-19, That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with power through his spirit in the inner man; so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fulness of God.

Colossians 2:2-3, That their hearts may be encouraged, having been knit together in love, and attaining to all the wealth that comes from the full assurance of understanding, resulting in a true knowledge of God's mystery, that is, Christ Himself, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

James 1:5-6, But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all men generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.

Hebrews 12:9-11, Furthermore, we had earthly fathers to discipline us, and we respected them, shall we not much rather be subject to the Father of spirits and live? For they disciplined us for a short time as seemed best to them, but he disciplines us for our good, that we may share his holiness. All discipline for the moment seems not to be joyful, but sorrowful; yet to those who have been trained by it, afterwards it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness.

Hebrews 12:26-27, And His voice shook the earth then, but now He has promised, saying, YET ONCE MORE I WILL SHAKE NOT ONLY THE EARTH, BUT ALSO THE HEAVEN, and this expression, yet once more, denotes the removing of those things which can be shaken, as of created things, in order that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.

Many years ago I was interested in Bible Prophesies. I had developed significant skills translating collective human symbolism, so I thought I would try to explain the symbols of Bible Prophesies with this knowledge. As I read through Revelations, I was struck by what appeared to be a warning not to add or take away words, which sort put the kibosh on my original approach, since my analysis would add words. As I pondered how to proceed and not add words, it struck me, that maybe that was not a warning, but a hint.
But you'd have to do that in the original language, surely, since the effect would be lost in translation, surely? I speak as someone who's translated poetry ─ albeit not from biblical Hebrew or koine Greek ─ where the import of the original is as much in the tone as in the exact literal translation, but where the tone of the original. hence the particular import or effect of that tone, is untranslatable, and it falls to the translator to provide another or get a dead result.

Faith-confidence in what we hope for (Hebrews 11)
I never really left the Catholic Church, but rather I took that upbringing with me, to find my own way as an independent; Agnostic and Scientist. That early religious education, that I maintained, was less about a creed or community, but more about having a positive and helpful lifestyle where ever I may go. My interest in the Bible and Prophesy didn't come until I moved to the Southern USA, for an Engineering job, which landed me in the heart to the Bible Belt. The Catholic Church had their own version of the bible; Catechism, more geared to the New Testament, so I had never read from a full King James Bible common in the South, until that time.

Where I lived there were lots of small independent churches, mostly under the Southern Baptist umbrella. A girl I was dating, at the time, liked to go Church hopping each Sunday and sample various churches; big box and small independent. It through was through this "Southern Hospitality" and small church discussions, I became interested in the Bible, so I could quote scriptures, to defend my arguments. Reading the Bible was a way to practice for the local bible sports, using the rules of the friendly locals, which to quote scripture to defend your arguments. I was also very knowledgable about collective human symbolism, reading the works of Carl Jung, and started to develop my own ideas about how to address prophesy symbolism. I would test them in our friendly discussions, even at work.

The Gospel of Freedom puzzle, which I was inspired to organize, is still my working set of principles that I use today.
Interesting background, thank you for sharing. I used to read Carl Jung, Wilhelm Reich and Freud. I am glad I am not trying to learn anything from them any more.

That is true if you are addressing specific passages, symbols or things. However, I was addressing an entire puzzle with 100 pages of pieces. This puzzle approach has a way of averaging, so all the pieces can still fit, even if the graphic on each piece is worn with age. The big picture is still there and can handle the subtle change in pieces, imposed by time and place.

Interesting background, thank you for sharing. I used to read Carl Jung, Wilhelm Reich and Freud. I am glad I am not trying to learn anything from them any more.

The main constraint was not to add or take away, so I could not use my knowledge of symbolism to do it piecemeal. I could use that knowledge to help me combine connected pieces; symbolism, into a sense of order. Like puzzle building, you see pieces with the same color or texture and group those to build chunks, and then combine those chunks, with the left over pieces. In my case the left over, left over pieces, became a second smaller puzzle that introduced the main prophesy puzzle, with a gospel for orientating oneself during the update process.

ARROGANCE OF SOCIETY


DOCTRINES OF MEN


Ezekiel 34:2-5, "Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel. Prophesy and say to those shepherds, 'Thus says the Lord God, "Woe, shepherds of Israel who have been feeding themselves! Should not the shepherds feed the flock? You eat the fat and clothe yourselves with the wool, you slaughter the fat sheep without feeding the flock. Those who are sickly you have not strengthened, the diseased you have not healed, the broken you have not bound up, the scattered you have not brought back, nor have you sought for the lost; but with force and with severity you have dominated them. And they were scattered for lack of a shepherd, and they became food for every beast of the field and were scattered.

Jeremiah 2:34-36, Also on your skirts is found the lifeblood of the innocent poor; you did not find them breaking in. But in spite of all these things, yet you said I am innocent; surely his anger is turned away from me. Behold, I will enter into judgment with you because you say, I have not sinned. Why do you go around so much changing your way?

Isaiah 30:9-11, For this is a rebellious people, false sons, sons who refuse to listen to the instruction of the Lord; who say to the seers, "You must not see visions"; and to the prophets, "You must not prophesy to us what is right, speak to us pleasant words, prophesy illusions. Get out of the way, turn aside from the path, let us hear no more about the Holy one of Israel."

Isaiah 29:13-14, Then the Lord said, "Because this people draw near with their words and honor me with their lip service, but they remove their hearts far from me, and their reverence for me consists of tradition learned by rote, therefore behold, I will once again deal marvelously with this people wondrously marvelous; and the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the discernment of their discerning men shall be concealed.

Mark 7:18, And he said to them, "Are you too so uncomprehending? Do you not see 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?"

Isaiah 3:12, 0 my people! Their oppressors are children, and women rule over them. 0 my people! Those who guide you lead you astray, and confuse the direction of your paths.

Ezekiel 13:21-23, "I will also tear off your veils and deliver my people from your hands, and they will no longer be in your hands to be hunted; and you will know that I am the Lord. Because you disheartened the righteous with falsehood when I did not cause him grief, but have encouraged the wicked not to turn from his wicked way and preserve his life, therefore, you women will no longer see false visions or practice divination, and I will deliver my people out of your hand. Thus you will know that I am the Lord."

Isaiah 59:1-4, Behold, the Lord's hand is not so short that it cannot save; neither is his ear so dull that it cannot hear. But your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God, and your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he does not hear. For you hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken falsehood, your tongue mutters wickedness. No one sues righteously and no one pleads honestly. They trust in confusion and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.

Timothy I 4:1, But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons.

Timothy II 4:3-4, For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires; and will turn away their ears from the truth, and will turn aside to myths.

Isaiah 5:20-21, Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness; who substitute bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and clever in their own sight!

Matthew 6:1, Beware of practicing your righteousness before men to be noticed by.them; otherwise you have no reward with your father who is in heaven.

Matthew 7:21, Not everyone who says to me, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven; but he who does the will of my father who is in heaven.

Jeremiah 2:7-8, And I brought you into the fruitful land, to eat its fruit and its good things. But you came and defiled my land, and my inheritance you made an abomination. The priests did not say, "Where is the Lord?" And those who handle the law did not know me; the rulers also transgressed against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal and walked after things that did not profit.

Matthew 6:24, No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will hold to one and despise the other, you cannot serve God and mammon.

Israel and Judah

Ezekiel 13:2-4, Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel who prophesy, and say to those who prophesy from their own inspiration, ~Listen to the word of the Lord!' Thus says the Lord Hosts, "Woe to the foolish prophets who are following their own spirit and have seen nothing. 0 Israel, your prophets have been like foxes among ruins."

Jeremiah 23:16, Thus says the Lord of hosts, "Do not listen to the words of the prophets who are prophesying to you. They are leading you into futility; they speak a vision of their own imagination, not from the mouth of the Lord."

Malachi 2:7-8, "For the lips of a priest should preserve knowledge, and men should seek instruction from his mouth; for he is the messenger of the Lord of hosts. But as for you, you have turned aside from the way; you have caused many to stumble by the instruction; you have corrupted the covenant of Levi, "says the Lord of hosts.

Jeremiah 23:36, For you will no longer remember the oracle of the Lord, because every man's word will become the oracle, and you have perverted the words of the living God, the Lord of hosts, our God.

Jeremiah 8:8-12, How can you say, "We are wise, and the law of the Lord is with us?" But behold, the' lying pen of the scribes has made it into a lie. The wise men are put to shame, they are dismayed and caught; behold, they have rejected the word of the Lord, and what kind of wisdom do they have? Therefore, I will give their wives to others, their fields to new owners; because from the least even to the greatest everyone practices deceit. And they heal the brokenness of the daughter of my people superficially by saying, all is well, all is well; but there is no peace. Were they ashamed because of the abomination they had done? They certainly were not ashamed, and they did not know how to blush; therefore they shall fall among those who fall; at the time of their punishment they shall be brought down, declares the Lord.

Isaiah 42:24-25, Who gave Jacob up for spoil, and Israel to plunderers? Was it not the Lord, against whom we have sinned, and in whose ways they were not willing to walk, and whose law they did not obey? So he poured out on him the heat of his anger and the fierceness of battle; and it set him aflame all around, yet he did not recognize it; and it burned him, but he paid no attention.

Ezekiel 11:17, "Thus you will know that I am the Lord; for you have not walked in my statutes nor have you executed my ordinances, but have acted according to the ordinances of the nations around you."

Jeremiah 11:7-11, For I solemnly warned your fathers in the day that I brought them up from the land of Egypt, even to this day, warning persistently, saying, "Listen to my voice." Yet they did not obey or incline their ear, but walk~d, each one, in the stubbornness of his evil heart; therefore I brought on them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do, but they did not. Then the Lord said to me, "A conspiracy has been found among the men of Judah and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem. They have turned back to the iniquities of their ancestors who refused to hear my words, and they have gone after other gods to serve them; the house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant which I made with their fathers." Therefore thus says the Lord, "Behold, I am bringing disaster on them which they will not be able to escape; though they will cry, to me, yet I will not listen to them."

Jeremiah 2:20-22, For long ag~ I broke your yoke and tore off your bonds; but you said, "I will not serve!" For on every high hill ~nd under every green tree you have lain down as a harlot. Yet I planted you a choice vine, a completely faithful seed. How then have you turned yourself before me into the degenerate shoots of a foreign vine? Although you wash yourself with lye and use much soap, the stain of your iniquity is before me, declares the Lord God.

Jeremiah 3:6-10, Then the Lord said to me in the days of Josiah the king, "Have you seen what faithless Israel did? She went up on every high hill and under every green tree, and she was a harlot there. And I thought, 'After she has done all these things, she will return to me'; but she did not return, and her treacherous sister Judah saw it. And I saw that for all the adulteries of faithless Israel, I had sent her away and given her a writ of divorce, yet her treacherous 'sister Judah did not fear; but she went and was a harlot also. And it came about because o~ the lightness of her harlotry, that she polluted the land and committed adultery with stones and trees. And yet in spite of all this her treacherous sister Judah did not return to me with all her heart, but rather in deception," declares the Lord.

Ezekiel 16:15-17, "But you trusted in your beauty and played the harlot because of your fame, and you poured out your harlotries on every passer-by who might be willing. And you took some of your clothes, made for yourself high places of various colors, and played the harlot on them, which should never come about nor happen. You also took your beautiful jewels made of my gold and of my silver, which I had given you, and made for yourself male images that you might play the harlot with them."

Ezekiel 16:51-52, "Furthermore, Samaria did not commit half of your sins, for you have multiplied your abominations more than they. Thus you have made your sisters appear righteous by all your abominations which you have committed. Also bear your disgrace in that you have made judgement favorable for your sisters. Because of your sins in which you acted more abominably than they, they are more in the right than you. Yes, be also ashamed and bear your disgrace, in that you made your sisters appear righteous."

Malachi 2:11, Judah has dealt treacherously, and an abomination has been committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah has profaned the sanctuary of the Lord which he loves, and has married the daughter of a foreign god.

Isaiah 65:11-12, But you who forsake the Lord, who forget my holy mountain, who set a table for fortune, and who fill cups with mixed wine for destiny, I will destine you for the sword, and all of you shall bow down to the slaughter. _ Because I called, but you did not answer; I spoke, but you did not hear. And you did evil in my sight, and chose that in which I did not delight.

Jeremiah 33:24-26, Have you not observed what this people have spoken, saying, "The two families which the Lord chose, He has rejected them?" Thus they despise my people, no longer are they as a nation in their sight. Thus says the Lord, "If my covenant for day and night stand not, and the fixed patterns of heaven and earth I have not established then I would reject the descendants of Jacob and David my servant, not taking from his descendants rulers over the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. But I will restore their fortunes and will have mercy on them,"

Isaiah 28:14-15, Therefore, hear the word of the Lord, 0 scoffers, who rule this people who are in Jerusalem, because you have said, "We have made a covenant with death, and with Sheol we have made a pact. The overwhelming scourge will not reach us when it passes by for we have made falsehood our refuge and we have concealed ourselves with deception."

Isaiah 66:3-6, As they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delights in their abominations, so I will choose their punishments, and I will bring on them what they dread. Because I called, but no one answered; I spoke, but they did not listen. And they did evil in my sight; and chose that in which I did not delight. Hear the word of the Lord, you who tremble at his word: "Your brothers who hate you, who exclude you for my name's sake, have said, 'let the Lord be glorified, that we may see your joy.' But they will be put to shame. A voice of uproar from the city, a voice from the temple, the voice of the Lord who is rendering recompense to his enemies.

Corinthians, Thus says the Lord concerning all my wicked neighbors who strike at the inheritance with which I have endowed my people Israel. "Behold I am about to uproot them from their land and will uproot the house of Judah from among them. And it will come about that after I have uproot them, I will again have compassion on them; and I will bring them back, each one to his inheritance and each one to his land. Then it will come about that if they will really learn the ways of my people, to swear by My name, 'As the Lord lives,' even as they taught my people to swear by Baal then they will be built up in the midst of My people. But if they will not listen, then I will uproot that nation, uproot and destroy it," declares the Lord.

MOCKERS AND TEMPTERS


Jeremiah 9:12-15, Who is the wise man that may understand this? And who is he to whom the mouth of the Lord has spoken, that he may declare it? Why is the land ruined, laid waste like a desert so that no one passes through? And the Lord said, "Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice nor walked according to it, but have walked after the stubbornness of their heart and after the Baals, as their fathers taught them," therefore thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, "Behold, I will feed.them, this people, with wormwood and give them poisoned water to drink."

Jeremiah 12:1-2, Why has the way of the wicked prospered? Thou hast planted them, they have also taken root; they grow, they have even produced fruit. Thou are near to their lips but far from their mind.

Romans 1:24, Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, that their bodies might be dishonored among them.

Luke 17:25, "But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation."

Romans 1:28-30, 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, malice; 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; and, although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them.

Jude 1:17-18, But you, beloved, ought to remember the words that were spoken beforehand by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ, that they were saying to you, "In the last time there shall be mockers, following after their own ungodly lusts."

Peter II 3:3-5, Know this first of all, that in the last days mockers will come with their mocking, following after their own lusts, and saying, "Where is the promise of His coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all continues just as it was from the beginning of creation." For when they maintain this, it escapes their notice that by the word of God the heavens existed long ago and the earth was formed out of water and by water.

Timothy II 3:1-7, 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; and avoid such men as these. For among them are those who enter into households and captivate weak women weighed down with sins, led on by various impulses, always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

Jeremiah 10:14-16, Every man is stupid, devoid of knowledge; every goldsmith is put to shame by his idols; for his molten images are deceitful, and there is no breath in them. They are worthless, a work of mockery; in the time of their punishment they will perish. The portion of Jacob is not like these; for the maker of all is He, and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance; the Lord of hosts is his name.

Isaiah 59:6-8, Their works are works of iniquity, and an act of violence is in their hands. Their feet run to evil, and they hasten to shed innocent blood; their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; devastation and destruction are in their highways. They do not know the way of peace, and there is no justice in their tracks; they have made their paths crooked; whoever treads_on them does not know, peace.

Peter II 2:18-19, For speaking out arrogant words of vanity they entice by fleshly desires, by sensuality, those who barely escape from the ones who live in error, promising them freedom while they themselves are slaves of corruption; for by what a man is overcome, by this he is enslaved.

Jude 1:16, These are grumblers, finding fault, following after their own lusts; they speak arrogantly, flattering people for the sake of gaining an advantage.

Peter II 2:10, 26and especially those who indulge the flesh in its corrupt desires and despise authority. Daring, self-willed, they do not tremble when they revile angelic majesties.

Jude 1:10, But these men revile the things which they do not understand; and the things which they know by instinct, like unreasoning animals by these things they are destroyed.

Peter II 2:12, But these, like unreasoning animals, born as creatures of instinct to be captured and killed, reviling where they have no knowledge, will in the destruction of those creatures also be destroyed.


THE CHANGE


Matthew 11:25-30, At that time Jesus answered and said, "I praise Thee, 0 father, Lord of heaven and earth, that Thou didst hide these things from the wise and intelligent and didst reveal them to babes. Yes, Father, for thus it was well-pleasing in thy sight. 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. Come to me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and YOU SHALL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS. For My yoke is easy, and my load is light."

Corinthians I 2:12-14, Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things freely given to us by God, which things we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words. But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God; for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised.

Peter I 1:7, That the proof of our faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

Matthew 5:11-12, And when he saw the multitudes, he went up on the mountain; and after he sat down, his disciples came to him. And opening his mouth he began to teach them, saying, 'Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. Blessed are those who have been persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when men revile you, and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, on account of me. Rejoice, and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great, for so they persecuted the prophets, who were before you."

Mark 8:38, For whoever is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the son of man will also be ashamed of him when He comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

Isaiah 46:12-13, Listen to me, you stubborn minded, who are far from righteousness. I bring near my righteousness, it is not far off; and my salvation will not delay. And I will grant salvation in Zion, and my glory for Israel.

Peter I 4:3, For the time already past is sufficient for you to have carried out the desire of the Gentiles, having pursued a course of sensuality, lusts, drunkenness, carousals, drinking parties and abominable idolatries.

Jeremiah 9:7-8, Therefore thus says the Lord of hosts, "Behold I will refine them and assay them; for what else can I do, because of the daughter of my people? Their tongue is a deadly arrow; it speaks deceit; with his mouth one speaks peace to his neighbor, but inwardly he sets an ambush for him. Shall I not punish them for these things?" declares the Lord. On a nation such as this shall I not avenge myself?

Isaiah 6:10, Render the hearts of this people insensitive, their ears dull, and their eyes dim, lest they see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and repent and be healed.

Romans 2:9-10, There will be tribulation and distress for every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek, but glory and honor and peace to every man who does good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

Micah 6:8, He has told you, 0 man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?

Ezekiel 18:14-17, "Now behold, he has a son who has observed all his father's sins which he committed, and observing does not do likewise. He does not eat at the mountain shrines or lift up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, or defile his neighbors wife, or oppress anyone, or retain a pledge, or commit robbery, but he gives his bread to the hungry, and covers the naked with clothing, he gives his hand to the poor, does not take interest or increase, but executes My ordinances, and walks in My statutes; he will not die for his father's iniquity, he will surely live."

Ezekiel 18:21-22, "But if the wicked man turns from all his sins which he has committed and observes all My statutes and practices justice and righteousness, he shall surely live; he shall not die. All his transgressions which he has committed will not be remembered against him; because of his righteousness which he has practiced, he will live."

The Gospel of Freedom


Well one's Gospel of Freedom consists of the stuff from Pauline books(of NT-Bible), nothing from (Jesus)Yeshua- the truthful Israelite Messiah, right, please?

My original intention was not to write a Gospel of Freedom. Rather I was trying to solve the mystery of Bible prophesy; Revelations. I was heeding the warning not to taking away or use any of my own words. Most analysis of bible symbols and prophesy added words to explain what things mean. However, to satisfy the warning/hint, not add or take away, anything, I decided I would hi-lighted the Old and New Testament for every quote that seemed like prophesies; have a future looking flavor.

My theory was these future flavor quotes were like pieces of a prophesy jigsaw puzzle, expertly scattered throughout the Bible. After my hi-lighting, I hired a girl to type of these quotes; pieces, of the puzzle into my 1980's computer. I printed them out, I cut all the pages into quote sized pieces with scissors, and scattered these on my living room floor. I then started to arrange these, based on the Four Horseman of the Apocalypse; sign of the cross. I first made piles of connected symbolism and built each section and added the filler pieces. When I was done I did not add any words of my own, but rather rearranged the quotes to tell a story.

After the main prophecy puzzle was done, I had still many left over pieces that did not seem to fit. However, I wanted to be thorough and not leave anything out. Eventually I notice the extra pieces formed a second puzzle, that I called the Gospel of Freedom, but only once it was done. I never intended to make A Gospel of Freedom puzzle, but it came about from the original bible prophesy puzzle and my having pulled too many pieces. But it seemed like a synchronicity or meaningful coincidence. It too was not written without any of my words. I used it as an introduction gospel to set the stage for the main puzzle; freedom and faith. The Gospel reflected the future, in the sense of explaining law versus faith. It was also connected to the promise of the Spirit of truth and how it differentiates from law.

I did not use all the words of Jesus, but rather just anything he said about the future. I would include; there are those standing here who will not taste death until I come. This was about John seeing Jesus through his visions of Revelations. But I did not use, I am the son of God or blessed are the poor since this was not a prophesy, but matter of fact.

The Gospel of freedom is about law being done away by forgiveness of sins, with the anticipation of the Spirit of truth, who could teach you all things. The piece of the puzzle had to be anticipation of that which had yet to come, with the Gospel of Freedom, I suppose, a way to deal with the implications of the prophesies; how to keep your head above water, and not be overwhelmed. Need a real time spirit.

When I had finished, I read everything over and over and it triggered a mystical psychosis; visions of prophecy impending. It was so stressful since there was so much to do and so much resistance. In 20/20 hindsight, I became all the characters, both good and bad, in the microcosm of my mind; faith and perseverance of the Saints. These were all part so my personality, based on memories of law of good and evil and the good and evil in the puzzle.

The Prophesy drama was less about a collective social drama, but appeared to be more of a personal journey and a test of faith, since law was unable to help under those conditions. Luckily, there was a cross roads and I was able to choose wisely, and I gradually got out with a renewal of my mind. This led to amnesia, but I was still me, but no memory. This which gave me a sense of euphoria for serval months until I needed to start rebuilding The entire prophesy drama, took 2 years with me first having an inflated sense of self and the crossroads making me humble, which was like a nervous breakdown helping me hide what was really happening. The gospel of freedom was a helpful tool along the personable journey of transformation.

The prophesy puzzle came out as a four act play, with each act setting the stage for the next. I said I would present Act 1, called The Servant. The White horseman is a culminating part of the Servant's journey of transformation. In Act 1, we learn about his past. The idea of presenting even that sets up an inhibition in me, since it dredges up a very difficult time; where I lost everything, but gained my life.

But that new life was happy, but more like me staying under the radar, since I was different. Although, I did import it into my IMac in .doc format, so I can copy and paste, like I did with the Gospel. But I am not quite ready just yet. I feel more spirited, if I stick to science and other knowledge that I gained from my inner voice. The other prophesy makes me feel like I might trigger another battle with Satan; released for a short time.

I guess it is time to present first Act of the Prophesy puzzle. Before I begin I would like to present the outline for the entire prophecy puzzle. I will just be presenting the first Act; Servant and White Horseman. This will be done in installments, since this section is long, with the many details of the Servants early life and his final goals. This sets up the stage for Act 2.

In my own experience, although my assembled version of the puzzle helped to trigger the update process, when the update process was activated, things did not exactly follow the order I had assembled. There was still plenty of mystery ahead; prompts to make choices. However, the first Act was the best time, since it all seems to be heading to a positive and creative goal full of hope; setting the stage for act 2, when things change and the stress starts to takes it toll. I prefer stop on a good note.
