Among the first things that happen, to all humans who actually possess the Indwelling Holy Spirit, is a fairly quick death to
the World . It does not happen slowly or over years; in fact in some cases, inside of days (never more than a month). The true Messianic disciples (past; present; future) utterly abandoned their/our former life and lifestyles; what was represented in a devotion to the things that will perish; the things that are meaningless to you and I, starting three days
after we die, forward in time.
Ruach HaKodesh radically transforms us; soon and very soon, it becomes a Spiritual metamorphosis; the old you diminishes and then quickly dies. The things of this life become, not just folly and meaningless; not just the vanity of vanities; it all becomes embarrassingly superficial. For Messianic disciples, the only "hell" we could ever experience, would be to live an Earth life, where moneymaking (employment; profit; economics), materialism and consumerism, defined our existence, at all!
Getting involved, on any level, in that which is from the roots of Satan – the earthly trinity of Satan is Economics, Politics, and Religion – is absurd and anathema! All Heaven destined Saints of Adonai our Elohim, live under the Messianic Cross, 24/7/365/∞. All the things in this,
the World , are distractions, not attractions!
Our duty is to expose the frauds, not enable them. Our lifestyle becomes that of Labor and
simple living , so that we may spend our time praying, studying in fellowship with like hearted individuals, learning and absorbing YHVH, and in every way we can, and we are driven to do so, and cannot imagine doing anything else.
Religion becomes not only a distraction from this, it offers a neatly packaged and seemingly justified way, out of
The Way !
Live in/for the world, give 2 hours a week to this god thingy, invest in gods paywall (tithing), swallow eyes―closed all worldly theologies, and then after some self professions and a bit of stirring emotionalism, you get to go to heaven when you die!
As nice as that sounds – and it sells pew tickets indeed – it is Satanic in all its permutations and forms. So much so, that YHVH came onto this planet, in Human form, and we call Him Messiah Yeshua; He exposed the heinous sin of religion, via the professional religionists of that time/culture, as a paradigm for all who followed after Him; those who were/are His disciples, and live only by His doctrine; the Red Letter Doctrine!
They were not devoted to eating with one another; "in breaking of bread" had a few connotations: We know of this from the fact that Messiah Yeshua taught this as a manifestation of Messianic discipleship itself; it was not only a mental reminder, given that we must eat regularly; hence the connection there to a daily devotion likened to eating. But think of it this way; you go to church services, for a few hours a week. No need to worry about starvation under that scenario.
However, if your discipleship is every waking hour of everyday; yea, we have to eat together all the time. It is a complete lifestyle change. We do not go off to work, and then come home to be "family" members during our off hours; instead, we are Family first and foremost, daily and hourly. Doing what it takes to provide food and shelter and other
simple living needs; those are the distractions!
Your God Is Money; Your Lord Is Your Boss; Your Guide Is Satan! (Back )
For the Spiritually lost (especially the christianized here in the Eschaton), they dabble in religion productions, even becoming self-righteous, in and because of them, but otherwise, they walk away from Messiah Yeshua, almost right away, so to continue in the quest for other more immediate desires and rewards (
Mark 4 ;
John 6 ).
Nonetheless, all this was foreseen; many are the unwitting players in the Eschaton era productions of Satan, and will remain oblivious to being so, until the end: Predestination! Every human culture on Earth forever, had a set of things common to them; mostly what was left behind by former generations.
The rare exception to this, would be if a group migrated away from one culture, and formed their own, without any of the influences of their former enculturation: Not sure that ever happened on Earth. But in fact, the Kingdom of Heaven is (and will be) a complete and radical departure from virtually all that came before.
The mammalian masses of humanity are little more than the
monkey-see-monkey-do–copy-mimic-parrot duplication's of their culture; still trapped in sociocultural plagiarism and lifestyle mimesis; why some (and now many) people believed we evolved from lower primates. This is because nothing catastrophic happens in their life, to thrust them far away from it all: Not a mere
culture shock , but rather, a culture castration; a complete disenculturation!
Even when Noah (and crew) built his massive inland bound ship – ultimately ending up a long way from their original location, and with only his immediate family surviving, along with a bunch of land animals – they were all still influenced by their previous culture. And yet, that experience surely altered their trajectory as a group. Read about this (albeit secular) conscientious epoch:
NASA Astronauts Describe Moment in Space when Everything Changed .
A similar thing happens to any of us, anytime and anywhere, when we go from mere humans being (the daily grind of life as a mere
testee of corporeality), and are suddenly
metamorphosized by the radical and
epochal transformation, which is only the Indwelling (of the) Holy Spirit (
Acts 1 thru 6).
But such a radical transformation comes only to those who surrender unconditionally unto the supreme and eternal Lordship of Messiah Yeshua, and die to this life; die to all earthly dreams and desires, and especially their
Enculturation and the blind followship that once defined us all (
Eph 5 :6–17). One cannot be born again until one first dies (
Gal 2 :20;
Rom 6 :3–7;
John 3 :19–21).
Organized religion obscures and taints that reality; to place a monetary value on anything that comes from our Heavenly Father, is accursed and therefore, all organized religion is exactly what Messiah Yeshua came to disesteem upon the Messianic Cross. All organized religion is Satans domain, but Satan hunger lusts to use those religions that employ the Name
Above All Names .
Once an individual is actually Saved (Spiritually metamorphosized), the very idea of copying any part of a culture designed and operated by Satan, and its subsequent devastation to the planet and the people and animals that YHVH created and owns; this is a horrifying thought to all Messianic disciples.
With
Spiritual sight, one can no longer walk in the
Darkness of blind enculturation and meaningless followship. We do not seek to fit into
the World ; we seek to escape from it, not to sink deeper into it or remain contented within it (
2Co 6 :14).
Anonymity Platforms For Hate Conquered Angry Bully Cowards! (Back )
Social media has become a cult level bastion of
bullies & trolls ; people who are demon oppressed or possessed, exhibit that demonism via their rage and anger, hatred and violence, insulting and belittling, devaluing and mocking, and just general meanness and unkindness.
It is not hateful content that makes people haters; it is haters that make hateful content! The dead soul hunger lusts to make others feel as they do; to be like they are; to jump on the hate train with them; to normalize bullying that is not physical in nature.
But in the past, when acting out their rage in public would cause others to threaten them with bodily harm, or even prison by law enforcement, the anonymity of the computer screen and a fake profile protects them, and that anonymity emboldens them. We see this within the isolation of the automobile and its subsequent
road rage incidences. The metal cage may insulate them, but it is very dangerous to those outside of it; the
Car Cult is indeed an insidious killer.
We now face words like
Internet troll and
Cyberbullying ; words so new that some text editors are still flagging them as misspelled. But like all cults, bullying too is ancient; bullying is just the outward expression of internal demons, which seek always to
sow discord . Of course, today, most bullying is economic in nature; using money-power to manipulate others.
Bullying is so pervasive, and now normalized here in the Eschaton (
2Ti 3 :1–5) that entire nations have had to take (albeit baby) steps in the failing battle; i.e. the recent
StopBullying.gov campaign. Even politicians have joined in the name calling bully tactics. But it is already way too late; the
trolls have already won ; the Internet will never stop the pandemic level spread of misinformation.
Fortunately for the living Messianic disciples; the daily dying, future Resurrected Saints; the Love conquered individuals; the (infinitesimal and inconspicuous) Elect of YHVH; indeed for all Messianic disciples, nothing that occurs in
the World will impact us, like it does the worldly.
The worldly are so influenced by/in the world that they do not even see it in themselves (
2Co 6 :14–18;
1Jo 2 :8–17;
Isa 6 :10): And even a thousand years floating in the pitch black vacuum of empty space (
Darkness ) will not sway them either. The Power Of Pride Is The Curse Of Volition
!!
For the infinitesimal few who exist, encapsulated in the glory of YHVH
Love the (infinitesimal and inconspicuous) Elect of YHVH; we cannot, and thus do not, enable, encourage by participation, finance, support, collaborate with, or yoke in any way, with any of Satans many evil paradigms, being displayed openly upon this planet. Instead, we (as you are reading) reprove and expose them (
Eph 5 :7–13;
John 3 :19–21;
2Ti 4 :1–5).
The Bondage Of Freedom; The Freedom Of Bondage! (Back )
(
Rom 6 :20–23) True freedom is not found in the confines of smallness, but in the vastness of bigness; it is to go from blindness to sight; from darkness to enlightenment. The confines of smallness is territorialism, nationalism, tribalism, and any other words that define the finite and the small.
The vastness of bigness is when we realize that we are one species on one planet, and not tiny little groupings of humans with all others as our potential enemies. Our mental enlightenment, even from our early teen years onward, is the realization that we are one species on one planet in one solar system (with one star as its source) in one Galaxy, floating among countless trillions of them. That vastness and bigness makes us feel very very small and insignificant in the face of this incalculable reality. I can be humbling!
And yet, at the very same time, we begin to realize how vastly important we are; all of us! All if this! That is true freedom. Fear of other is thus the prison; fear of the unknown or unfamiliar is the only bondage. And so is the responses to it; weaponry, militarism, territorialism, nationalism, patriotism, indeed all manifestations of us–against–themism! The very notion of "freedom in isolation" is an oxymoron. The 2nd Amendment of the US Constitution is one such example among many that haunt the puny human past.
Social media is like that too; it is Satans gigantic sauna; it is choked with darkness and evil intent; even the perceived good stuff there is just the bait and lure to keep people invested in the sauna, soaking in all the demon–led vitriol and the spewing venom that comes along with it. People can excuse anything, but be careful little eyes/ears what you see/hear! For the Elect of YHVH, we avoid those things like the toxic environment it is.
There is no such thing as freedom without accountability, responsibility, or restitution from loses associated with it. And in modernity, nothing is so obvious, as is social media, alongside the unabashed tangibles like the
Car Cult and the gun cult; anything humans copy from one another that is risky or proven harmful. To challenge ones Creator by pushing against the border of death, in defiance and rebellion; it is sin-evil, and a violation of the
Temple .
For, brethren, you have been called unto liberty {freedom} ; only, do not use liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by Love serve one another. For all the Torah is fulfilled in one word {Love} , even in this: You shall Love your neighbor as yourself! But if you bite and devour one another, take heed that you be not consumed one of another. This I say then; walk in the Spirit and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh, and these are contrary the one to the other, so that you cannot do the things that you would. But if you are led of the Spirit, you are not under the Torah.
Us modern day Messianic disciples were (are) eyewitnesses to all of this, most prominently in circa 2020, with a ravaging pandemic, and the subsequent rage of defiance and rebellion and hate, seething from those who will not use their freedom and liberty to
Love and serve others, but instead, abuse their freedoms to defy their Creator, and unabashedly expand their sphere of rage outwardly. These acts are proof of demon possession.
But this is the Eschaton, and such behaviors and mentalities and actions, were prophesied to increase; and they are (
2Ti 3 :1–5). All future resurrected Saints (Messianic disciples) have freedom and liberty, but we also know that Satan exploits human freedoms most of all, and why our only Lord and King warned us (His future) disciples in so many ways. Being under a Lordship means to surrender that freedom; all of it!
For example, scarcity will quickly breed conservation in anyone with a functioning brain. E.g. When there is only so much food, the thoughtful will not waste any food availed; they will store any excess for coming days; even animals do it. But any truly loving parent would not eat in scarcity, to assure progeny will be fed. This level of care does not require the Love exhibited upon the Messianic Cross; that Love endures all things, even time. Conservation is a level of care that is just practical.
When humans possess the Indwelling Holy Spirit, scarcity is not necessary to motivate us to do, what Love intrinsically commands of us to do always. Analogous to the loving parent, we will (proverbially speaking) not eat to protect others; we put others above ourselves, and are compelled to do so, by YHVH Love. It would be hard not to do it.
The Indwelling Holy Spirit gives all Messianic disciples, a foresight and (importantly) a
proactive perspective in all things, always. We are
hyperconscious ; we are exceptionally conscientious! We care deeply for all that YHVH created or will create; all
sentient life is sacred and precious.
But the atheistic, and the religious, alongside the anti-Messianic (the christianized); these masses of humans, cannot be Love, because they are missing the only thing that can allow us to be Love: Ruach HaKodesh!
Education Beyond Headlines & Social Media Posts! (Back )
Social media is only one manifestation of blind followship; everything else that the masses blindly consume and copy, is also blind followship; to mirror the other mere mammals that we are all spawn from: YHVH wants us to transcend that! Most humans almost never venture intellectually beyond the news headlines, soundbites and one liners:
TLCR !
Also, social media has become this kind of drip bag anesthesia; a never ending flow of ego fill, and also, of information overload. As with all
polymaths , research is a lifelong endeavor. Study is vital (
2Ti 2 :15;
1Th 4 :9–12). But if that input is only and always superficial and worldly; if it does not hold any eternal value, it becomes analogous to a junk food diet, which is orally satisfying but psychologically damaging.
Religion consumption itself, is one of many such manifestations of blind followship; a bondage to religion is worse than earthly or fleshly sins. Merely holding a self-belief, or parroting a prayer at some religion business altar call; one must understand the huge importance of what becoming a disciple of Messiah Yeshua means, in comparison to any religious works (rituals, rites, holidays, traditions, tithing mammon, church or its service$) done under any religion banner (
James all): Hence, the sin of religion (
Mark 11 :15–18).
Religion is exhausting and taxing, but relationship is refreshing and invigorating. My Master said that His yoke was easy and light; meaning, by contrast, the religionists that He routinely criticized and condemned, they were a tax and a tithe; a drain on the economic and psychological well being of humans being; religion requires constant renewal via ritual. In the bondage of this world, humans seek freedom, but in the freedom of Spiritual bondage, only there are we truly free.
But freedom without Spiritual accountability is just lawlessness, irrespective of the presence of human made
Law . Here in the Eschaton and its predictable
end time themed nation of the
U nMessianic
S tates
A nnexed, the Judicial Industry of the
Law lords has an entire array of anti accountability "laws" in place.
These laws were designed and refined, over many generations from
feudal Europe , specifically to protect businesses and politicians from any true measure of personal accountability. It is herein called The Anti Accountability Arm of the Judicial Industry profiteers. And unfortunately, they will not see any of this during this life, but it will be the source content of their never ending suffering.
Only the actual living Messianic disciples (past/present/future) are going to be Resurrected after this human experiment is over: Narrow Way indeed (
Matt 7 :13–14). There will be many billions, or multitudes, who reject the (living and literal) Lordship of Messiah Yeshua, and the critical message and purpose that He,
YHVH in skin , served and provided, while corporeally on Earth.
Messiah Yeshua,
YHVH in skin , came at a time, and at a place, quite specific, and providential, to the course of this human experiment; predominantly, the proliferation of
Mammon economics and the monetization of everything; the growing influence of organized religion upon the masses; and the explosion of politics as a main feature of the human experience.
The Devils Idleness Workshop! (Back )
All organized religion is satanic at its core; they all exist basically as the YHVH
Monetizers of their own related
god figure (
Exo 20 :2–6): This is one of the major manifestations of (what is and will be) an unforgivable sin, if no living
repentance action takes place. And social media is merely an outflow (one of many) of the Eschaton era exhibition of
Enculturation ; the privileged and spoiled lifestyles of those who simply do not Labor. Mammon or money economics is directly the cause.
In their hearts, most humans were/are predators and parasites, not only among the world and the planet that belongs only to YHVH; but also, they – the Pharisees, the Sadducee, the Priests, and all their respective scribes and lawyers, in this particular narrative (
Luke 19 :45–48) – were among the economic predators who exploited YHVH and extorted money, so they did not have to
Labor ; that proverbial spit in the face of YHVH, over the labor curse (
Gen 3 :17–19).
We were thus reconditioned to labor all our lives; our
Temple is designed for these efforts. However, most humans said (and are still rebelliously thinking & defiantly saying):
Hell no, I won't go! Consequently,
Mammon economics (money dependency), and then slavery and
serfdom , and then landlordism and controlism, or summarily,
social stratification ; all of this was/is inspired by Satan, and now defines us as a species (the Eschaton). But all people have the superpower of volition, to see all of this as normal, or not.
And though normalized, none of it is the
Yah Way or
The Way : None of it is normal to YHVH, nor to the Messianic disciples (past, present, future). There will be none of it among those on the still virgin planets, which will be occupied by the (infinitesimal and inconspicuous) Elect of YHVH.
Since most people here in the Eschaton are fully enculturated drones of their own micro-experiences, they seldom if ever, think outside of those tiny boxes of life experiences. They not only do not have the mind of Messiah Yeshua (
Rom 11 :33–36), they cannot even see past their own earthly cocoon of lifestyle; this is proven by how they talk or write or think about their perceived world of micro-experiences: The examples of this are too numerous to list here.
They will often compare sweat labor, like building homes or growing food or forestry, with their own employment role, wherein they (conversely) produce nothing substantial to life and living (
1Ti 6 :6–11), apart from their volitional participation in usury, societal exploitation, and parasitic and predatory economics.
They will only trade time for money, and then use that money to buy all the sweat of their own brow, productions that require
Labor . This is a lifestyle sin because it is premeditated; people intend to repeat it again tomorrow without any effort to overcome, suppress, or otherwise be set free of it.
But all the religions of christianity, or summarily, Christendom, are all spun by Satan, the god of this world (
2Co 4 :1–5), who is responsible for all religions globally, practiced by all humans. Messiah Yeshua lived and died (corporeally), and was Resurrected (to be both
corporeal and incorporeal), to provide propitiation, necessary for me – and all Messianic disciples, past/present/future – to possess and be radically
Spiritually transformed; indeed, metamorphosized by that Spirit that dwells (only) within (
Rom 8 ).
The Indwelling Holy Spirit that is ruling within me right now is the very Holy Spirit that inhabited Messiah Yeshua (
John 14 thru 17), and who is also yoked within all future resurrected Saints of YHVH, past/present/future.
There is only One Creator, our Adonai Elohim, The Heavenly Father: YHVH took on human form, and we call Him Messiah Yeshua. YHVH is an individual Entity, but not singular; YHVH manifests in corporeality in Spiritual form, and also corporately within corporeal beings like humans. The ocean is also a drop of water, and a drop is also the ocean.
The
Oracles of some of the written works, known of as the scriptures; the holy bible, as it has been used and abused by the (Catholic; Orthodox; Protestant) COP Cultists; these oracles were inspired to refer to Him as the Son of Adonai Elohim; a necessity at a time when religion was such a major influence over the masses, and
Monotheism was relatively unknown.
Indeed, that is where the Catholic theology of the Trinity came into being. Today, we can compare such an influence, to the new social religion that humans call politics, wherein, everything went through those filters; every conversation and every concept had religious context or subtext, just like it is today within the cult of politics, one of Satans earthly trinity.
Consequently, they apply and interpret any/all scripture, from the filters of their modern world, rather than comprehending Holy writings via the very Holy Spirit, which inspired those writings to begin with. The exact same Holy Spirit that inspired the scripture writers, also inspires the scripture readers: Ruach HaKodesh is either within you as your
Love root and thus core of all things, or not.
Otherwise, we have a world now filled with religious people who are the YHVH
Monetizers , via organized religion, with the worst of the worst of them all, being those who pose as Messianic disciples (they use the modern bibles translation versions of
Jesus Christ & God ), but who are instead the central agents of Satan, as the Eschaton goes deeper into its prophesied conclusions.
Social media, in and of itself, is not a sin; driving a car, in and of itself, is not a sin. However, it is what they – and many other harmful culture copying manifestations – say about the content of ones character, which is the outward display of ones
Spiritual status; or, to know if one exists at all.
Study the
Car Cult : How do you justify participating, enabling and collaborating in (this) the greatest unnecessary war on Earth? It is the presence of the justification mentality itself, which is of the greatest concern.
No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will hold to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve Elohim and mammon! Being money lovers, all the Pharisees also, heard all these things, and they derided Him. But He said unto them: You are they which justify yourselves before men, but Elohim knows your hearts: For that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of Elohim! (Luke 16:13–15).
It is this same base mentality or pathology, which drives the Spiritually lost human species; the
Darkness destined Broadway masses (
Matt 7 :13–23;
Luke 13 :24–28) who cannot think critically or independently, and who never have any original thoughts or ideas. My Master referred to humans as lost sheep; not all humans of course, but the vast majority.
We, as the Elect of YHVH, do not care what other humans think of us; however, the atheistic, the religious, and the anti-Messianic (the christianized), are the opposite; they are obsessed with what other humans think of them, and rarely if ever cognizant of what YHVH thinks of them. This is because they need consistent praise and acceptance and approval.
To be utterly conquered by what other humans think, is itself a symptom of Spiritual vacuity. With the Indwelling Holy Spirit ruling and reigning within, we are filled to overflow with that Living Water and Bread of Life; we are at peace, free, fearless, and completely contented with ourselves and with all creation, regardless of life's circumstances.
The manifestations of the
sheeple masses can be witnessed in how they live on Earth (hint: the very purpose of your life here). Do you follow? Or do you stand among the (infinitesimal and inconspicuous) Elect of YHVH? (
Matt 7 :24–27;
2Co 6 :14–18). Are you driven by fear? YHVH
is Love, and (prefect) Love drives out
all fear (
1Jo 4 :17–18;
Heb 13 :5–6;
Rev 2 :10;
Rev 21 :7–8).
The Occult Of Gun: Metallic Bravery Of The Coward Class! (Back )
Brandishing of weaponry is an exhibition of cowardice; it is the only physical evidence. Cowards get brave once they are armed, and they get armed as an act of their (otherwise) perpetual state of cowardice. Fear drives the gun cult. The million+ gun pointing scenes on mass media, helped to drive generations of monkey-see-monkey-do–copy-mimic-parrot people, to desperately want to be like those they see on TV; pathetic indeed, but a monkey cannot stop being a monkey. Something much bigger must interrupt the flow.
Cowards are simply people who use weaponry to exert their will over others. And as with the car cultists, the same holds true for the
gun cult , which is itself an outward display of fear/paranoia (
1Jo 4 :18), cloaked in self-justifications and a hunger for social normalization.
And social media has greatly accelerated the fears, and the gun ownership; however, the bloodbath of the prophetic Eschaton requires it. But this was all anticipated by the Elect of YHVH; the past
Oracles were visionaries; the mouthpiece of YHVH.
When an individual knows deep deep inside them (intuitively) that they are Spiritually eternally doomed, even among those who attend religion businesses faithfully, the commitment to live this earthly life, for as long as possible, explains why killing and self defense and wars abound (
James 4 :1–10).
Adding to all of those, are the many bodily "addiction cults" (see:
Temple ); collectively, all of these dangerous lifestyle manifestations, have a negative impact on the greater creation of YHVH (Earth), as well as on all (us) Messianic disciples, who live Messianic lifestyles, mimicking Messiah Yeshua.
We disciples live as our Master; however, only those chosen before Earth was (
Eph 1 :3–14), will (sooner or later) gravitate on their own, toward our light (
Matt 5 :14–16), with the incessant nudging of the
Holy Spirit in the world (which differs from the Indwelling Holy Spirit), accompanied by a
litany from us disciples, which is echoed in/from Heaven (
Matt 6 :7–10).
The widespread use of the phone as a portable media device (a global portal), has led to a completely different way to live in society, like never before. We are now cursed with live streaming assassinations and murderous rampages; inundated with more information in a given month than most humans experienced in a lifetime: Data overload is stress.
And stress kills us, slowly but surely; it greatly impacts lifestyles, life expectancy, life quality, and thus, mental/emotional health. If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for the sake of Messiah Yeshua, you will save it, now and forever.
This Life Is Not Even About This Life
!! (
Matt 10 :37–39;
Matt 16 :24–27;
Luke 12 all;
Luke 14 :25–35): YHVH does not exist so to give you are better worldly life; your worldly life must be sacrificed for an eternal one. The christianized have it backwards; they first want to know what "God" is going to do for them; they never see that it is in a complete death to self, that we gain (
Phl 3 :7–15).
Organized Religion: Paywall Between Elohim & People! (Back )
Then Yeshua spoke to the multitude, and to His disciples, saying: The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat: All therefore whatsoever they bid you to observe, that observe and do. But you; do not do after their works, for they say, and do not. For they bind heavy burdens grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers. But all their works they do just to be seen of men. They make broad their phylacteries and enlarge the borders of their garments, and love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets, and to be called of men: Rabbi, Rabbi!
(Matt 23:1–13)
No one can (or will) be "born again" until a death first occurs, and that death is a death to pride-ego-emotion (inwardly) and any expectation of a better life (outwardly) because of such a relationship. Once the Indwelling Holy Spirit is a reality within, equality and equity will drive you, and religion will offend you.
Most disciples suffered far more than they would have, if they never followed Him; indeed, those who counted the cost of such, walked away from Him (
John 6 :53–66;
Luke 14 :26–35). And they still do, even among the dedicated churched, because religious consumerism has no costs beyond a tithe.
Matt 22 :14 says: For many were/are called (via evangelism or
proselytization or assimilation), but few are chosen, via predestination. This is why the Messianic disciples, past, present and future, do not recruit, seek out, or try to market our Lord: There is evil in that!
The truth miners seek (on their own) their Maker, and with devotion and purpose; conversely, the bulk of our species, looks upon God/god as a Santa Claus figure (
Luke 12 :15;
Luke 18 :18–30;
1Ti 6 :6–11), which morphs unto its culture.
Unlike Satans religion business
Monetizers – we, as the daily dying Messianic disciples, and thus the only future bodily resurrected individual's as the Saints of YHVH – we disciples live as our Master and Rabbi lived, and we follow His lifestyle and His teachings, considering the red letters of scripture to be the only literal God speak. Anything and everything else ends up as mere
Bibliolatry in the hands of today's Pharisees; the monetized religionists.
But perfection is not perfectness, for we are all flawed individuals; we are all equally trapped in corporeality: Thus, we all need the redeeming Love of Messiah Yeshua, expressed on the Cross.
It is the sincere effort to copy Messiah Yeshua; that purposed life lived with the goal of mimicking our Master; to reach Messiah like perfection is how we demonstrate our desire to aspire; our hope to be like our Master, for there is no greater way to prove our commitment to being like someone, than in earnest simulation.
Love is perfection.
Unfortunately, most people use social media in an antisocial way; unaware or not, they will simulate caring while/by not being physically present in someone's life. They can pretend love, or exhibit
fake caring and no one would even know that they could be a sociopath or psychopath; they can mock the act of caring, electronically, and for many, doing so can actually make them think of themselves as caring people.
But all of this is just another manifestation of the prophesied Eschaton. Social media, and any other like form of
depersonalization , allows for the perpetuation and/or the normalization of social status,
social stratification and economic privilege; the paradigm (and mentality) of entitlement.
Smartphones: A Pocket Full of Ego! Praise Addiction & Phone Face! (Back )
The smartphone was designed for the simpleton masses; hence the name. The learning curve for actual computers was too steep; offices across the globe purchased computers by the millions, with the promise they would revolutionize the offices of business: They did not!
Regardless of the fact that internet connected computers, rendered obsolete, most office equipment of the aughts, the fax and printer remain a major part of the office environment to this day. Why?
Because most could not (do not) utilize the PC, thus explaining why most people need and use smartphones. They are app driven; like an elevator that any primate can operate; you simply push buttons.
Smartphones Are The New Cigarettes?!
The smartphone is a combination of tech and the marketing of social media, which appeases the human ego of the Broadway masses. The effects in personal relationships is also clear to those with Spiritual eyes/ears: One is a higher thinker who cares little about the minutia of this life, preferring to talk about deeply meaningful, yes even eternal things.
However, the simpleton wants only to narrate every thought and action throughout the day, because they do not think higher thoughts, and will eyes glaze over when caught in a deeply meaningful discussion: I have been eyewitness to that mental stupor, all too many times, especially now, deeper into the Eschaton.
But why the need to carry a smartphone around all the time? Why is it necessary for people to (rather suddenly in human time) need to have such a device in their faces almost every waking minute? Simple!
Egocentrism ; narcissism; superego: The egocentric are compliment seekers; their lifestyles and
attention seeking behaviors reflect this reality. They crave the positive affirmations of other people: Social media profiles are public exhibitions of egocentrism.
Those who exhibit attention seeking behavior, hunger for any attention, and if it is not positive attention, negative attention will do. Everyone who consumes Social Media, knows who is who, simply by monitoring it. The faces and names seen the most, represent the attention hungry; they make sure to say or do whatever it takes to keep themselves in the forefront. The horror of the attention addict, is to be ignored or forgotten. Social Media enables people; it exists for these people types!
All of this is a haunting reality to the few, the humble, the redeemed (the Elect of YHVH). But the reason why all Messianic disciples, past and present and future, were and are (then and today) relatively unknown of, is because we disciples do not want to be popular, or known of. What clearly separates the christianized masses, from the Elect of YHVH as Messianic disciples, is best witnessed in this realm of egocentric popularity; this hunger display for the approval of other humans.
When an individual is full to overflowing with the living water and bread of life, there is no more need for anything else, in or from this world, because there is simply no more room for it. We do not merely memorized and regurgitate bible sentences; for the word became Flesh and dwelt among us, so that now, via that redeeming propitiation, He can reign within us, now and forever, amen! We Messianic disciples, just like our only Master; we become the word (
Psa 119 :10–11;
John Seventeen ).
The smartphone morphed via monetization, so that now it has little to do with computing. The smartphone is the portal to the greatest ego masturbation known to humankind thus far: Social media! Am I liked? Wanted? Adored? Are there any praises awaiting me? Is anyone out there who is stunningly attractive and mega rich, seeking me as a mate right now?
Hey, you never know, right? Stay tuned in perpetually; do not sleep for too long because you might miss something that is even remotely connected to you: You might miss some
gossip . You might miss someone disparaging another you are in competition with somehow.
Whenever you see someone, always face in on a handheld device, you are looking upon a person who is egocentric, egoistic, and perhaps even narcissistic; a display of self centered focus. To be so enamored with self, the word "selfie" has gone from a pathetic self aggrandization, to an accepted part of the culture of
anti-Messiahs , which scripture predicted millennia ago: Pride and ego are a married couple! Pride/ego consistently and emotionally, finds ways to defend itself against an onslaught of truth.
Trapped In The Web: Internet Dependency & Empire! (Back )
The bigger picture here should be obvious to those of us who saw it all unfold live; the now elderly Messianic disciples. Even the Amish saw it all coming, even centuries ago; not
Internet Dependency specifically, but rather, the overall generic scriptural directive of the Eschaton, and how it would all look on the global stage, via a more celestial view. Screen addiction for people (the young especially) are being deformed by the digital age. And such addictions are familial.
Amish do not allow personal photos, declaring it a violation of the
graven image idea, which (as the 2nd Commandment) is found over forty times throughout the
Tanakh , but with emphasis on
Exodus 20 . But of course, this was a prohibition against making idols or talismans for worship, given the fact that prior to the Great Intervention of YHVH, the more primal humans made gods out of things, and actually bowed to them and worshiped them as gods, while still ignorant of the fact that YHVH was/is/always, The One Creator of everything and everyone.
Still, the premise itself is valid as a means of preventing a pride of self, or in self, which is also sinful. Nevertheless, the Amish are still just protestants, and thus, willing participants of and in Satans human centric religions and/or literalistic religious paradigms. Even Atheists can see, at least obscurely, some of the things that all Messianic disciples can see, clearly and daily:
Christendom Does Not Represent Messiah Yeshua!
When I was a young man, there were no consumer computers of any kind, except of course the
idiot box ! But the TV (screen) was not interactive like computers or phones are; their unidirectional action was that they would show us all things that we did not know even existed before, and then, sold/told us how dependent we were upon them, and how necessary it was to buy this or that. Anything broadcast on TV was right and righteous and true; if the bible says otherwise, well, it was just wrong! Social media is like that too.
Another standard in mid twentieth century America, was a common respect for another's time, witnessed by the importance of the family dinner, as quality time together, and thus, a possible interruption medium; the landline phone.
In most 2 parent homes, when it was dinner time, a motherly call went out that said: Dinner is ready, wash up and turn off the phone! That is because it was considered rude and disrespectful to interrupt that designated quality family time; one could just call before or after dinner time.
It was also rude to cut in to interrupt two people talking in any venue or situation. If I walked up and in between you and another person having a conversation, and took over the conversation, just as if one of you was not even there, it should and would incite an angry response; that would be very disrespectful. But smartphones do it all the time!
By 2010, something dark was happening; the portable phone was hitting every pocket and purse; it quickly became the electronic god, faithfully served. Nowadays, when someone calls, they are cutting into a conversation, hijacking that talk. But those who serve their e-god faithfully, will interrupt your live talk with them in the service of/to their e-god.
Fast forward to circa 2023; most portable e-devices do not work, or not properly anyway, if it is not perpetually connected to (or caught up in) The Web. There are only a hand full of phone apps, out of millions, that will work without a data connection; everything is becoming dependent upon an Internet connection, just to function.
We Messianic disciples, as others like those in
Luddite Clubs who are now starting to understand, notice how connectivity in perpetuity is addicting. But this is more about what one does with a smartphone. If it is not a tool for you, then you are a tool for it.
I have one; I use mine for navigation (Maps & Relive), text and file sharing (Email), live weather conditions (I am car-free and elderly), it is my non streaming music player (
Musicolet ), my camera with photo sync backup (ps: I never took a selfie), and of course, to make and receive phone calls. But no social media apps or accounts; nothing on it I have to monitor in perpetuity. Born in 58, I developed no such youthful bad habits with such devices.
Eventually, all e-devices, even home equipment, will require an Internet or mobile connection, to work at all, and it does not take a Prophet to see it coming. A dependency on the drug dealer to get ones fix is how men have always become rich and powerful; a few cheap samples until they are hooked, then suck them to (metaphorical and/or literal) death.
This is assuredly that
Big Brother, All Seeing Eye prediction that Science Fiction writers predicted would come; it is indeed, what the scripture
Oracles predicted long before that. And what is most ironic about it, is that those who study scripture, are themselves the victims of it all, but are oblivious to it: Matthew Seven Christians (
Matt 7 :13–23). The only All Seeing Eye we all should be concerned about, is Adonai Elohim.
The empire building, possession hungry, colonizing capitalists, have been monetizing everything (and almost everyone) on Earth, since well before the first century: The basics of slavery and/or economic subjugation are well known topics to all serious students of scripture.
Even my Spiritual brothers and fellow Messianic disciples from the first century, could not fathom a world, freed of slavery, at least on some level; they wrote letters to distant fellowships familiar to them, clearly acquiescent of the practice (
Eph 6 :5–9;
Col 3 :22–24;
1Pe 2 :18): But I understand their intentions.
But empire building, psychologically and morally, is all about lordship; it is all about domination and dominionship; it is all about control, and control always requires data (personal information). Satan, the god of this world, and its human era, was (and is) all about, all of these things. Satans people teach domination to the next generation, perpetuating the sin-evil, until the return of The King.
Satan, the rebellious and defiant, as a dominator, hungered to be The God of the universe, and YHVH banished Satan because of it. Humans do not have all the details of these past celestial events (like, were they once physical beings?), but we do know that Satan and his entourage, were left (incorporeal) on this planet, likely to test the resolve of this new
sentient species called humans being. Those humans who adore Satan, are themselves the dominators.
Those who are Satan like, are those willing for such poison; these are represented in the masses of predestined humans, who do not know or just do not care to know:
This Life Is Not Even About This Life! . (
Luke 12 ). They are not aware that our Adonai Elohim, is observing and recording, uninterrupted and completely uninvolved, the natural course of all things that randomly unfold, as we humans engage in corporeality.
Does one truly believe that an afterlife is even more certain than this life? Absolutely believe in the Resurrection of the Saints? The answer is witnessed in that fruit on the tree for all to see; the proof of that is
not religious consumerism, and in fact, all organized religion is a demonic distraction from a demonstration of such genuine, unconditional faith. We who are called, just know; we need no "proof" ~
The Greatest Attenuation To Faith Is Empiricism!
Therefore, the Satan driven masses, live this life as a display or an exhibition of their faithlessness, which expresses itself in how invested they become, in this life itself. Satan and the demon hoards have much to offer those, willing to follow their guidance, and mentality, and worldly temptations; people who will exchange eternality for a better temporal earthly life. They crave followship and are crippled by blind
Enculturation .
Hence, the hunger lust for money power, social and/or sexual power; generically speaking, control! The primal/carnal manifestations of territorialism, and the warmongering bullies neverending
Game of Thrones ; these
prisoners of geography , creating map lines, then threatening those
others not like them, who attempt to cross.
These conqueror types, not only have no Love in them, they will live/die oblivious to what Love even means, all the while spouting the word noises and then believing them; a sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal, indeed (
1Co 13 ).
All the things that
Love exposes to us, the Loveless (masses) are oblivious or blinded to. When we (humans) surrender unconditionally unto the supreme and eternal Lordship of Messiah Yeshua, and die to this life; die to the superego and to self-importance, and begin a profound personal relationship with YHVH, via the Indwelling Holy Spirit, we become, at first, possessive.
This is because that Oneness level (Love) relationship, is the very first real relationship any mere mortal can have, and it is from this real and deep relationship that all others can begin, human to human: If you do not care about everybody, you really do not care about anybody!
We Are What We Do, And No More!
