2 Corinthians 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

Satan has been called the God of the blind, the accuser, the Devil that tempted Jesus with the rule of this world, and all its kingdoms?

Matthew 4:8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.

Only the God of this world can offer that, so come to know who runs this world, which is technically Hell, the actual place of judgement, where we are condemned to for our iniquity, this is the prison that we need Jesus to release us from.

Revelation 1:18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.

From the perpetual cycle of hell and death, a place of damnation (which means to pay a penalty), a prison of sorts, that we will not come out of until we have paid the uttermost farthing.

Matthew 5:25-26 Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.

We fell from Heaven, since we're the fallen angels, inhabiting the human form, because of our desire to know evil alongside good, and thus we became polluted with evil and thus we did evil, much like how we do on Earth, complaining about the world and never satisfied with our lives, and yet still trying to find some fulfilment in the world, or find salvation with the things of the Earth.

1 John 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

Naturally, few know that, because our minds have been blinded, and have been convinced that the Lake of fire, that fiery furnace is some place else. In the Old Testament, Egypt is a similitude for Hell, the whole Earth. That is the burden of Egypt. Remember the Old (Flesh) is a shadow of the New (Spirit), but not the very image of. It is a Key of David, remember it.

Isaiah 19:1 The burden of Egypt. Behold, the Lord rideth upon a swift cloud, and shall come into Egypt ; and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it. 

The question isn't about where we are going, but what do we want to return to. Heaven, or this Earth. Again, the Old Testament is a shadow of GOOD THINGS to come, but not the very image of. So Isaiah 19:1 is about Jesus coming into the flesh and teaching people about the Father and the Kingdom of Heaven, not to mention the hearts evil. It cannot be understood in full without the Holy spirit within you guiding you, so seek the Father for understanding. Sitting there thinking, 'I don't believe this, or I don't agree with that' is utterly worthless and will hold you back, the same goes for blindly agreeing with these things. But taught of the Father and be made to see, or be indoctrinated by man and remain blind. That is the choice.

Deuteronomy 4:20 But the Lord hath taken you, and brought you forth out of the iron furnace, even out of Egypt, to be unto him a people of inheritance, as ye are this day.

One by one as we are called and chosen out of this world, and we start to do the Father's will, doing the works, spreading the Good News, so that in the end, on our own individual last day on this Earth, we'll receive our inheritance in spirit, once we're raised back up into Heaven, made righteous.

2 Peter 1:19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:

Prophecy speaks of current events, which are a similitude for future events, aka not the VERY image of. Again, only the Holy Spirit can guide you to meaning, shining a light in the shadow, revealing knowledge in the darkness. Private interpretation is open to many misunderstandings.

1 Peter 1:4-5 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

So, again the message is turn within to the Father, in spirit, seeking after his righteousness, drawing nigh to him, so that he can too in spirit draw nigh to you. It is up to the individual to make themselves ready. Not with faith in the words of man, and the religions of the world, but with faith in the Father, within. Make that effort, and you will be called out by God. (Called out = Ecclesia) which has been corrupted with the word Church in the New Testament.

Hosea 4:5-9 Therefore shalt thou fall in the day, and the prophet also shall fall with thee in the night, and I will destroy thy mother. (Church) My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: (Because of the corrupt Church teachings about Jesus) because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: (So they serve only themselves and their institution) seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. (Members of the Church) As they were increased, so they sinned against me: (In members) therefore will I change their glory into shame. (Like paedophilia, and other deviancy) They eat up the sin of my people, and they set their heart on their iniquity. (Forgive me Father for I have sinned, and the Priest who calls himself Father absolves your sins) And there shall be, like people, like priest: (Clear enough for you?) and I will punish them for their ways, and reward them their doings.

There's no mention of Church in the Old Testament, though the above is a prophecy about the corrupt Mother Church and her children, and the following is about how the Church has caused Jesus to serve his enemies, especially his image on the cross, that yoke around people's neck, that crucifix that has him in hunger, thirst and naked, in want of all things. The church in their blindness destroy any truth in people's minds.

Deuteronomy 28:48 Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the Lord shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee.

Those many that come in his name, calling themselves Christians, let NO MAN deceive you he said. No man at all.

Luke 21:8 And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ;(Christians) and the time draweth near: (Shortly after Jesus physical death) go ye not therefore after them.

Not a one person should a person follow, and yet the religious call a man Father, Master, Rabbi, or teacher, etc on the Earth.

Matthew 23:9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.

Do you think Jesus said that in vain? Why do you think he said it? People love to be deceived and remain deceived it seems. Those that truly seek the Father within, will be chosen out of this world of many afflictions, that come on people like a fiery furnace.

Isaiah 48:10 Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.

We have to learn to turn our mind away from the hearts love of its world, and instead be transformed by the spirit, focused on the world to come. However, most are just mindful of themselves, claiming to be saved, whilst making no effort to save others, which isn't surprising since none can do that but the Father, the one in heaven.

Hebrews 11:15 And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.

Hence why Jesus said, we need to be transformed with the renewing of our minds, which is blinded in Satan's realm, since it is his Earth.We need the word of God to awaken our minds, which is the proof we get directly from God. No proof and no truth comes from any man. Only indoctrination comes from those in this world.

Romans 16:18 For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.

People deceive themselves, all the while they deceive others, the blind leading the blind. Remember that the next time you're nodding your heading in agreement with a man in the church.

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

Our own hearts lead us a astray continuously, causing us to do unrighteousness, which cuts us off from God and the knowledge of. Our rightful inheritance has been hijacked by 1, the Soul in a man, and 2, the religious, and their leaders.

Ephesians 2.2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

The soul that counterfeit spirit within us, which mimics the voice of our mind, using its thoughts, imagination, dreams, memories and feelings that we attach to them, and that happens to be our very judge, jury and executioner in this world. God is no respecter of persons, and all that makes a person comes out of the hearts of men.

Mark 7:20-23 And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.

The heart's knowledge of good and evil which mankind holds in high esteem is an abomination to God. We're products of Satan, and we don't know it, because we don't know what Satan is, because the religious have infected minds, deceiving all people as to what it is.

Luke 16:15-17 And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God. The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it. And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.

There's no Church in the Law and the Prophets, and nor is there any shadow of it. Once you have the Holy Spirit guiding you into all truth, you'll have your understanding of the scriptures opened, and you'll see all the lies perpetuated by this world. All our churches and members of, are those very tares amongst the wheat of Jesus's teachings, causing his image on the cross and his name to serve his enemies as prophesied earlier above, the many that come in his name and call themselves Christians.

Matthew 13:25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.

The soul in a man is against all things of God, and since it is Satan, the the living soul breathed into man, and its design is to give us what we desire, which is the knowledge of good and evil within us, it design is to keep us in Satan's world, focused gaining the riches of the world instead of the riches of Heaven. The prison is our flesh and this world. It is the spirit that is in prison, and it has been deluded into THINKING that it is free, all the while the flesh time and time again withers and perishes, and we know not where we go, even though we mostly believe something.

Romans 7:23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.

It is something in us that blinds us and holds us captive, and Jesus came preaching deliverance to the captives.

Luke 21:34-35 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.

Sadly, people don't know what they're held captive by, and even worse, are ignorant of what actually is held captive, and so believe the soul's food is good to eat.

Matthew 7:26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:

And to top that off, religion has further blinded the minds of people, because they have ignored what Jesus said, about believing NO MAN, and following after them.

Matthew 24:4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.

Hence his instruction of, turn to the Father within in spirit FIRST, and not only that, he expressively said that he'd send the Holy Spirit, to those that seek sincerely after the Father, the spirit of truth that the world CANNOT receive.

John 14:17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

Joseph Smith was a man who was was received by men, Mohammed was a man, who was received by men, L Ron Hubbard is a man, who was received by men. Jesus was a man, who was rejected by man, because he spoke not of the world, but of the spirit. Today he is still rejected, and instead humanity worships his image and his name, but not the truth that he TAUGHT people to follow.

2 Corinthians 3:14 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ. 

Satan has created all religion through the hearts of men to hold us captive on his world. And because the truth is as simple as turn to God, within in spirit, people cannot understand, because they love the world and the flesh too much.

2 Corinthians 11:3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

Jesus made it quite plain what would happen. I am Christ (Christians) they say, which Jesus said would come shortly after him, trying to deceive men into their faith.

Matthew 15:8-11 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand: Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.

So think real carefully what you say to people, because if you want to deceive people, even unwittingly, they'll be a price to be paid, and that is being deceived yourself, and further blindness of your mind.

2 Thessalonians 2:3-12 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. (Agree with thine adversary quickly whilst you are in the way of him) And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: (Because God is no respecter of persons, neither is the Lord)  Even him (Them, because someone out there wants to perpetuate the idea of an Antichrist, causing people to seek evil without, instead of the source that is within. They're many children of disobedience that Satan works through, not just one.), whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in (them) that perish; because (they) received not the love of the truth, that (they) might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

There's no Antichrist mentioned in the Law and the Prophets, so that should tell you what time it is. If its not in the Law and the Prophets it is false and a corruption of truth, a truth most know not, because it has been hidden in the Old Testament. It was as clear as day that the New Testament would be corrupted by those religious leaders, which is why we were told not to be deceived by any man, by any means. The Father isn't limited, so a mystery was sown in the Old Testament, which is revealed once you DO the New, aka seek the Father as Jesus taught.

Matthew 10:26 Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.

Only God converts, which is to say renews and reforms/transforms. No man, including any man who claims to represent the Father, because of their belief, their Earthly faith, the faith in their own thoughts, in their own religion. But trust me, their faith isn't in the Father.

Matthew 7:21-23 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Jesus said none are good, that none are righteous but God, which is why he said to seek the Father FIRST, but people being people they worship the man instead, with itching ears they go to a Church, Temple, Mosque or even a tree assuming that helps in anyway.

Jeremiah 21:14 But I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings, saith the Lord: and I will kindle a fire in the forest thereof, and it shall devour all things round about it.

Unknown to all is that, ANY worship without in the world is worshipping Satan, and the reward for that as Satan himself said, is punishment. The history of ALL religions should tell people that, they're the most violent and unjust nations for a reason.

Isaiah 13:11 And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.

You think the people writing scripture would call themselves religious, and yet.

James 1:26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.

That would be all religions then. That is why the instruction was again to Seek FIRST the Father's Kingdom AND his righteousness, because without the Father's revelations passed onto our mind renewing it, our minds are blind to the deception of our own hearts and the hearts of others which most are lead by, and which most people seek to please.. With Revelations, the deceptions are slowly stripped away and we can read scripture plainly in spiritual terms and understand what really is being taught. Because as it stands:-

Matthew 13:13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.

But when we have received revelations and have connected with God within, and continue to seek his righteousness in mind, we begin to understand the scriptures, as the Father's knowledge is transferred into our minds.

Luke 24:45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,

We can then spot the errors, and separate the wheat from the tares, rightly dividing the words of truth, which cannot be done rightly without the Holy Spirit guiding you into all truth.

Ephesians 4:14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive.

And remember this, all that is not of God decays and dies, so leave the religious alone, it isn't for them. They have their reward.

Matthew 15:13-14 But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up. Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.

And how does the Heavenly Father plant his plants?

Ephesians 3:3 How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,

And what did Jesus say not to do again?. Follow after NO MAN.

Galatians 1:12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ. (aka doing what Jesus said to do, turn to the Father within, in spirit, and be taught all things)

Meaning having the understanding revealed about what Jesus taught, understanding the Gospel. It wasn't called a mystery for no reason.

Matthew 11:27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.

Which states that if a person isn't receiving revelations (all knowledge, the Gospel), then understanding is impossible. Since it is the revelations, that grace from God that removes the veil upon our minds (spirit) .

2 Thessalonians 2-8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed (The soul, the MYSTERY Babylon the Great. To quote Jeremiah 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?) whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth (Revealing with words of truth, revelation), and shall destroy with the brightness (Knowledge) of his coming .

So, why are people turning to the flesh for their salvation, unwittingly condemning themselves and cutting themselves off from God. For they worship the creature more that the spirit.

Thessalonians 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

Again talks about the soul, the heart within us that deceives us. We're the servants of sin, thus the children of disobedience, when this is revealed, will begin to see that we are the man of sin, that needs to be revealed, our own wicked thoughts and imaginations of our hearts, that hold us captive. 

Genesis 6:5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

We are all Anti-Christ (spirit), the sons of perdition. That's why we are here in the first place.

1 Peter 1:5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

Without Jesus coming into this creation, we would be forever blind to this world, and lost to the evil soul within us. His instructions, his teachings given to him by the Father have transformed this place from a prison, into a place of redemption.

Ephesians 3:2-6 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward: How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words, Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ) Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;

The Father continuously seeks for those who worship him in spirit, for those who look within for his righteousness. So that he knows what to reveal and when to reveal it.

John 4:23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.

As a person works towards righteousness, the more revelations a person will receive, and the greater their understanding becomes. This isn't my knowledge or anyone's else, it is the Fathers. By revelation I've merely been gifted understanding, and I spread, the more I receive, doing the works.

Psalm 74:12 For God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.

The purpose of the scriptures are for instruction, for yourself, and for others. Unfortunately the world being what it is, it has been used for pretty much the opposite, to justify unrighteousness, and for the blind to indoctrinate the blind. Again, reaping what they sow.

2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

Unlike what most people use it for, mainly to prove each other right or wrong in endless debate, forever learning, and never coming to the knowledge of truth, because only one gives that, and that is God. Without revelation, our minds are opened to being deceived by others, so seek God First. He is righteousness, the ALL GOOD, and it is the spirit of truth that teaches you that.

1 Corinthians 2:10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

Again, if one draws night to God, he is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him, however, don't expect anything if you're just curious, or aren't sincere in your efforts to seek him within in spirit. God isn't tested or tempted, neither does he tempt or test people, like those of the church say he does. There is one who tests and tempts, whom they worship already.

Matthew 11:25 At that time Jesus declared, "I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because You have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children.

As Jesus stated before, only the Father can give a person the understanding of the Gospel, via Revelation.

John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

Jesus even said this to his followers at the time. The Father has to bring this knowledge to your remembrance, NOT MAN. Again;

Matthew 24:4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.

And how does one pay heed, and not be deceived?

Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

You do as Jesus said, and become a doer of the word, instead of just a hearer. Let no man deceive you, since only God can grant salvation and free us from our sins. It takes a lot more than just agreeing what a person says to you.

Romans 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

Only God is good, and so only God is capable of GIFTING you righteousness and truth, if it comes from any other source again, people have been warned.
