John 8:18 I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.

What do people do at Christmas, to celebrate the birth of someone.? They make merry and give gifts.

Revelation 11:10 And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.

Seems obvious doesn't it now? and yet seemingly it has never been made clear until now. The problem with reading the scriptures like a book, is that the perception of what is read is taken at face value. The religious will tell people that this is taken out of context, even when they don't even know what the correct context is.

2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

For example, snakes, serpents cannot literally talk, it is just a story, a vision given to Moses to write down, so that it can be used to pass on knowledge, in this case about the knowledge of good and evil.

Genesis 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

Knowledge about that crooked serpent within us all. We all eat his apple from his tree, continuously. For in the beginning we knew only good, and now we know both good and evil and thus do both. We have become crooked in nature, instead of straight.

Job 26:13 By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.

This is the knowledge which cannot be known unless it is perceived by the spirit.

Hosea 12:10 I have also spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and used similitudes, by the ministry of the prophets.

Because as iterated above, all the things in the Bible are written in parables and similitude's, and because of our crooked nature we can only see and do both the good and evil.

2 Peter 3:13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

But not just only the good. Since the Kingdom of Heaven is the land that is very good, full of righteousness.

Genesis 1:31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

This is what people should be seeking after in the spirit.

1 Timothy 1:4 Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.

Certain people and events in the Old Testament didn't even happen, as instructed in the New Testament not to pay attention to.

Luke 24:44-45 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me. Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, (What is happening here?)

The whole purpose of the New Testament is to instruct people how to read the Old Testament.

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:

And yes, I reiterate things, because I feel it is important for people to understand what is being reiterated. You can't compare one's earthly interpretation of the scriptures with things that are spiritual, the spirit needs to be compared with the spirit. The alternative is to be indoctrinated into some religion.

Deuteronomy 32:2 My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass:

You see as the above is alluding to, the true doctrine is gradually developed in a person. Like the field that has been seeded, the rain needs to fall so that the things in the field can grow. You have to see differently, an ability literally granted by God. That is his grace. Grace which comes by faith in him, not people's faith in religion. Grace = Revelation, so the Father reveals knowledge to a person's mind, which grow the mind in the knowledge of the 'Father' and in righteousness.

1 Corinthians 2:10-13 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

It is the spirit that teaches not man. That is the true baptism, the anointing oil of truth.

1 John 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

And the 'Holy Spirit' brought forth by the Father teaches the spirit about itself, the real you that dwells in the flesh.

Leviticus 26:10 And ye shall eat old (Testament) store, and bring forth the old (Testament) because of the new.(Testament)

And Jesus provided that means, he opened people's understanding of the (Old Testament), especially of his disciples, understanding of the scriptures, for others to read. Since they're are the only ones who have correctly interpreted what he taught, bringing forth the OLD through the OLD because of what is taught in the NEW. (Testament)

Titus 1:14 Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.

And because of the nature of parables and similitude's, it doesn't matter whether things happened or not, it is the spiritual message, the lesson contained underneath that matters, sealed and veiled behind similitude and parables, inspired by God.

2 Corinthians 3:15-17 But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart. Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away. Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

Jesus's words and all his acts were about the spirit. People focus on the physical miracles, when they're parables about what the spirit does to a person. 'Heal the blind, turns water into wine, walks on water, raises the dead'. It is about the spirit. His word that was made flesh. Don't take the words and deeds of the flesh literally, they profit nothing.

John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are (about) spirit, and they are life.

The religious and other worldly wise people will only see the surface of things and thus will err in their interpretation, dismissing or agreeing with what is written, all in accordance with what their hearts are most affiliated (conditioned) with. With those who just believe in God it is something like 'Pascal's Wager', in that their belief in something powerful makes them win, similar to those who blissfully support any leader of their respective nation, regardless of how corrupt in nature they seem to be. Expounding upon that, it includes those who blind-fully support the Police or the Military or any type of authority, the mentality is the same. People desire to align themselves with something perceived as being powerful and strong. Why do people think Satanism is a thing with certain people? The element of fear is there, because they believe by supporting something or someone powerful, people will fear them themselves. Also key, remember what is said in the scripture above about both Jewish fables and commandments of men. The flesh is old, the spirit is new.

Matthew 22:21 They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's.

Do not eat the heart's unclean food that will make one's mind lean into bigotry and into the oppression of other people. The only true enemy is within one's self. Even the Koran mentioned that. 'The jihad against the soul is the beginning of the battle against the unbelievers'. Again, any fool can complain against the world's rulers and governments, and yet all people have the ability to be in control of one's self, regardless of where they dwell on the earth. The ability to be good isn't beyond anyone. Circumstance reveals a person, it doesn't make them.

2 Corinthians 3:6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.

Which literally means everything on the Earth which will turn people away from the truth, since the letter killeth. However, spiritual perception of the scriptures give life to them, magnifying the word.

Ezekiel 20:49 Then said I, Ah Lord God! they say of me, Doth he not speak parables?

They cannot be understood directly, they have to be spiritually discerned, and without the knowledge taught by Jesus, people would forever remain blind to the knowledge contained in the Old Testament.

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.

And not just the belief in Jesus, for any fool can believe, and sing their praises about a man they have never met, because they have been fooled that it is their gateway into Heaven. It is not.

1 Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

Now from the book of Revelation, a parable about the nature of man's heart, and the ego it produces in people.

Revelation 18:7 How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.

The truth always torments those who rather live in lies, and Jesus through his Father tormented the Earth with his witness, with his truth.

Revelation 11:5 And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.

Unfortunately, because of the wicked imaginations of man, people believe two actually witnesses are going to literally breath fire through their mouths, when that fire is simply the word of truth.

Jeremiah 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

It is torment, because it is the lies and deceit of people's own hearts that are being exposed, and nothing defends and fights for itself more than the heart of man. Knowledge of the deceit of the heart is being made known, so that those dead in their hearts can be made to live in the spirit.

Romans 14:9 For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.

Anyway, as for the two prophets, who most falsely assume to be Moses and Elijah.

Acts 2:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made the same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.

He that is of the Old Testament, the Lord, while being made straight by his Father in the New Testament as Christ. As he said himself  'Why is it in reading, hearing and seeing that people cannot  read, hear and see?'

Luke 12:50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!

The world's 'thus saith the Lord' ended after Christ's physical birth. People might want to question why. And especially why they're celebrating the birth of someone into this world, who expressed quite clearly the need to overcome it.

John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

And who has killed the knowledge of these two witnesses, and replaced it religious doctrine?

Revelation 11:7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them. (Kill what they taught, destroying their teachings.)

Let's be clear about the image, the number and the mark of the beast.

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.

That is the image, Jesus on the cross, naked, in hunger and in thirst, and that yoke around the neck? A similitude of the crucifix people wear around their necks.

Matthew 24:5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

Yes, that image of the cross which is worn around people's necks, especially by those who come in his name and deceive many. Those hypocrites, both old and new. Those of the old religion, which is of the Lord God, and those of the new religion, which is about Jesus.

Matthew 15:7-9 Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying, This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. (Because by nature it is deceitful) But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

Religion is of the world, it is of the knowledge of this world. Which is why most that read this can only see history, or a fable through the world's wisdom, when in fact it is a similitude a parable which can only be seen with the spirit.

Jeremiah 28:14 For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; I have put a yoke of iron upon the neck of all these nations, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and they shall serve him: and I have given him the beasts of the field also.

It is the world's wisdom, and it is man's wisdom that are the beasts that roam the field. A parable for the thoughts of our hearts that infect our mind, given to us by the satanic influences of the world.

Revelation 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

And that man is King Solomon.

1 Kings 4:34 And there came of all people to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all kings of the earth, which had heard of his wisdom.

Who was known for his wisdom of this world, and received 'Six hundred threescore and six' talents a year.

1 Kings 11:9 And the Lord was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned from the Lord God of Israel, which had appeared unto him twice,

And through his foolishness turned away from his God, and lost his kingdom.

1 Kings 10:14 Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred threescore and six talents of gold,

And because people love the wisdom of the world more than the wisdom of God, they end up serving the beast.

Matthew 19:22-24 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions. Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

They're rich in the knowledge of the world more than they're rich in the knowledge of God. And people's possessions is that knowledge of this world 'The wisdom of Solomon'.

1 Corinthians 1:20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

And because of that wisdom, they also turn away from God and are made foolish, not helped by making that sign, or pressing the crucifix to their forehead or holding their rosary in the palm of their hands while praying.

Revelation 14:9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand.

That is the mark of the beast that people use in their churches and homes, after all, people buy into a religion, and preach it, selling it to other people.

Revelation 13:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

Again, similitude and a parable. A shadow of things to come.

Colossians 2:16-17 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.

Read the following real clear. The mother is the church, and those that eat sin, are those that call themselves father in the church. If you desire to confess your sins to them, then you'll be taken down with them.

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

So for those that seek after those to confess in their closets in their churches, while calling themselves father, seeking after people's iniquity. Those that confess to man instead of God will become their children, as said below, you will also be forgotten.

Matthew 13:38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;

You are either child of God, or a child of this world, a tare, a product of your own uncircumcised heart, putting forth bad seed in the world.

Matthew 18:5-7 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me. But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!

As you can see above, harm not the little children, and below people offend. Yes, the members of the church may have increased throughout time, but as you can see in the world today, the shame of those members of the church has also increased. Paedophilia being a prime example of that. People will keep drinking the new wine, the New Testament without the knowledge given from God in the Old Testament, and people will continue to get drunk on the new wine without the knowledge contained within the old. aka for a lack of knowledge, which is given from God via the 'Holy Spirit', knowledge which is contained in the Old Testament.

Hosea 4:5-12 Therefore shalt thou fall in the day, and the prophet also shall fall with thee in the night, and I will destroy thy mother. My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame. They eat up the sin of my people, and they set their heart on their iniquity. And there shall be, like people, like priest: and I will punish them for their ways, and reward them their doings. For they shall eat, and not have enough: they shall commit whoredom, and shall not increase: because they have left off to take heed to the Lord. Whoredom and wine and new wine take away the heart. My people ask counsel at their stocks, and their staff declareth unto them: for the spirit of whoredoms hath caused them to err, and they have gone a whoring from under their God.

Work it out, parables and similitudes. Now what is the follow about?

Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays.
