What are the advantages of belief in the Hereafter for the society and individuals?

Belief in the Hereafter is one of the essentials of Islamic creed. According to Islam, there is a Day of Judgment when everyone is going to be called to account for their good deeds and evil deeds in a divine court and they are going to be either punished or rewarded. The twenty-eighth verse of surah al-Baqarah says: “How can ye reject the faith in God?- seeing that ye were without life, and He gave you life; then will He cause you to die, and will again bring you to life; and again to Him will ye return.”

Belief in the Hereafter is the first condition of living a peaceful and happy life in worldly life. Those who do not believe in the Hereafter are poor people who do not recognize any moral values and disturb individuals’ and society’s peace and safety. In societies in which people do not have faith or have weak faith, all kinds of evil works such as lying, theft, fornication, murder and immorality can be performed freely; and eventually these societies collapse.

Humankind desires immortality, wants to live with their beloved ones, beauties and delights of the world eternally. We see that soul seeks eternality and can satisfy its thoughts and imagination only with it. It provides joy of life for a person who lost a beloved one to think and believe that he is going to live with him eternally one day. One can find strength to endure the pains of all negative incidents he comes across in worldly life, unfairness, cruelties and injustice, incurable illnesses and disorders only in believing in the Hereafter. It is the biggest consolation for a person to think that everyone is going to be punished for what they have done, when he is wronged. It is a great haven for those who are disabled from birth to think that enduring it with the help of belief in the Hereafter is going to be rewarded.

Yes, one who believes in the Hereafter knows that he is going to be called to account for whatever he has done, big or trivial, and he is going to be either punished or rewarded in the end. And thus, he leads his life in accordance with this.

In Risale-i Nur Collection, only four of the hundreds of proofs that belief in the Hereafter is the most important essential of social life and individual lives and the basis of happiness and perfection are stated as follows:

The First Proof: It is only with the thought of Paradise that children, who form almost half of the mankind, can endure all the deaths around them, which appear to them to be grievous and frightening, and strengthen the morale of their weak and delicate beings. With the thought of Paradise, they find hope in their vulnerable spirits, prone to weeping, and may live happily. For example, thinking of Paradise, a child may say: “My little brother or friend has died and become a bird in Paradise. He is flying around Paradise and living more happily than us.” The frequent deaths before their unhappy eyes of other children like themselves or of grown-ups will otherwise destroy all their resistance and morale, making their subtle faculties, such as their spirits, hearts, and minds, weep together with their eyes; they will either decline utterly or become crazy, wretched animals.

Second Proof: It is only through the life of the hereafter that the elderly, who form half of mankind, can endure the proximity of the grave, and be consoled at the thought that their lives, to which they are firmly attached, will soon be extinguished and their fine worlds come to an end. It is only with the hope of eternal life that they can respond to the grievous despair they feel in their emotional child-like spirits at the thought of death. Those worthy, anxious fathers and mothers, so deserving of compassion and in need of tranquility and peace of mind, will otherwise feel a terrible spiritual turmoil and distress in their hearts, and this world will become a dark prison for them, and life even, grievous torment.

Third Proof: It is only the thought of Hell-fire that checks the turbulent emotions of youths, the most vigorous element in the life of society, and their violent excesses, restraining them from aggression, oppression, and destruction, and ensuring that the life of society continues tranquilly. If not for fear of Hell, in accordance with the rule ‘Might is right,’ in pursuing their desires, those drunken youths would turn the worlds of the wretched weak and powerless into Hell, and elevated humanity into base animality.

Fourth Proof: The most comprehensive centre of man’s worldly life, and its mainspring, and a paradise, refuge, and fortress of worldly happiness, is the life of the family. Everyone’s home is a small world for him. And the life and happiness of his home and of family are possible through genuine, earnest, and loyal respect and true, tender, and self-sacrificing compassion. This true respect and genuine kindness may be felt due to the idea of the members of the family having an everlasting companionship and friendship and togetherness, and their parental, filial, brotherly, and friendly relations continuing for all eternity in a limitless life, and their believing this. One says, for example: “My wife will be my constant companion in an everlasting world and eternal life. It does not matter if she is now old and ugly, for she will have an immortal beauty.” He will tell himself that he will be as kind and devoted as he can for the sake of that permanent companionship, and treat his elderly wife lovingly and kindly as though she was a beautiful houri. A companionship that was to end in eternal separation after an hour or two of brief, apparent friendship would otherwise afford only superficial, temporary, feigned, animal-like feelings, and false compassion and artificial respect. As with animals, self-interest and other overpowering emotions would prevail over the respect and compassion, transforming that worldly paradise into Hell.

We cannot appoint a guard for everyone but we can place guards of consciousness full of belief in the Hereafter in people’s hearts. Then instead of anarchy, despotism and cruelty, obedience, respect and justice will rule in the society. Individuals, families, constitutions, communities and even the whole world will live in peace.

After this short explanation, we can enlarge upon this subject a little more:

What belief in the Hereafter, in the Day of Judgment when everyone is going to be punished or rewarded, and in the eternal life earns individuals and society:

After belief in Allah, organizing life and providing collective peace for society depends on belief in life after death.

One who does not believe that he is going to be called to account for what he has done cannot be thought to be straightforward. On the other hand, one who keeps in mind that he is going to be called by Allah in the otherworld to account for every step he takes, one whose each behavior is an expression of an account, one who treats his each word, each listening and each inclination in his heart with sensitivity of accounting to Allah will have a highly organized life.

“In whatever business thou mayest be, and whatever portion thou mayest be reciting from the Qur'an,- and whatever deed ye (mankind) may be doing,- We are witnesses thereof when ye are deeply engrossed therein. Nor is hidden from thy Lord (so much as) the weight of an atom on the earth or in heaven. And not the least and not the greatest of these things but are recorded in a clear record.” (Yunus, 10:61)

That is to say; all behaviors and actions are being recorded by angels. Everything we do, big or small, hidden or obvious, anything that we consider small but considered big by Allah or anything we consider big but considered small by Allah, are recorded. Observers watch and record all we do and Allah who is “DAYYAN” (the One who judges people based on their deeds) is present everywhere, waiting for the Day of Judgment.

A life that is led with this spirit and consciousness becomes straightforward; a society that is consisted of individuals who live within this spirit and consciousness becomes peaceful and a family having this spirit and consciousness turns their home into a garden of paradise.

Yes, there is only one way through which humankind can quit their craziness; it is the belief in resurrection after death. And it is only the belief in resurrection and that can stop the craziness of youth, that can prevent them from nonsense-talking, that can be a source of hope for elderly people who become more disappointed and offended with every step they take towards death and that can light up the flames of happiness in the vulnerable hearts of children.

Everyone, from young ones to old ones, from women to men and from just ones to unjust ones, needs to believe in the resurrection as they need water they drink and air they breathe in. Drinking this sherbet called belief in the resurrection means also drinking peace slowly. For this reason, all intellectuals who work for peace and safety of the humankind and aim to provide peace for them should evaluate this issue from this point of view. Establishing true peace, happiness and comfort for individuals, families, society and the humankind altogether depends only on believing in the afterworld where all deeds – significant or insignificant - are going to accounted.

The Quran says:

“Then shall anyone who has done an atom's weight of good, see it! And anyone who has done an atom's weight of evil, shall see it.” (az-Zalzalah, 99:7-8).

This verse declares that even a good deed of an atom’s weight will have its reward and even an evil deed of an atom’s weight will have its punishment and it infuses into people this feeling of responsibility. When people have got this belief, we can tell them, “do whatever you want”. Actually, practices and realities express that everything done will have a response. One who adopts this point of view feels the need for doing things which will not make him ashamed in the otherworld.

A child, with his weak, vulnerable soul, can find a peaceful life only by believing in the resurrection. Anyone who evaluates his childhood from this point of view and who remembers his childhood years will admit this conclusion. Yes, a child has got a vulnerable heart. And a child is incapable of evaluating incidents happening around him and coming to a conclusion. And he cannot lose himself in entertainment. For this reason, he feels anxiety of death more than adults. The world of a child whose parents have died is destroyed. All the stars lighting up his inner world fade away and the sky of his heart sinks into darkness. Everyone who has got a heart can feel this.

One of my siblings died in my childhood. Every time I visited his grave, I would open my eyes and beg to Allah saying “O Allah, please bring him back to life so that I can see his beautiful face once again!” Now, if you take away this belief in the resurrection after death from thousands of people like me having this psychological mood, with what will you heal this painful heart and how will you extinguish this fire? No, no way… Nothing can heal it and it will be impossible for you to extinguish that fire. It is only the belief in the resurrection that can console this child writhing in pain and sorrow. When his beloved ones depart this world one by one, it is only the belief that they have gone to Heaven that can console this little one and saves him from this unbearable sorrow. Pass-away of a beloved elderly one, or even of a younger one, whom he is accustomed with and thought he could not do without them, leaves an incurable wound in his vulnerable heart. It is such an incurable wound that only one thought can ease it:

“He is gone, or taken away; but, God opened the doors of Heaven for him. Now, he is flying like birds in the gardens of paradise. When I die, I am going to fly like him, too.”

If the one who died is an elderly person, he will think as follows: “He is dead. But, he is going to take me into his arms and caress me there.” And they are these thoughts that will fill the gap of separation and longing opened by death and will be the cure for his bleeding wound.

Do you long for peace? You can find it neither with factory chimneys fuming all around the world, nor by organizing journeys from stars to stars. The true peace is the peace that depends on this belief and faith. Yes, this peace, which is based on the principles of resurrection after death, is the true peace.

Aged people… Aged people who are approaching death with every step they take… While grave is waiting for them with its door open for them, and while they are running towards it at the highest speed, with what can they find consolation? What can console them? With what can they get over the sorrow caused by seeing the white hairs amongst their hair that they see in the mirror every day? How can they compensate for the spiritual gap caused by this situation? How can they eradicate the scars of people – their children, their grandchildren, their friends and relatives – whom they saw off for the otherworld throughout all this time until they reached this age? How can you console them when youth, health, career and position left them with a terrible scar in their souls? Every material thing which you present to them as a consolation will leave another terrible scar in their souls when they lose them and this will always go on like this. Therefore, there is only one cure with which all people including the aged ones can find peace: Believing in the resurrection after death!... Persuading people that grave, which awaits them to swallow them like a monster waiting its terrible mouth open, is indeed the door of the corridor leading to the gardens of Paradise in the otherworld!... Presenting as departure lounges in order to get into those gardens of Paradise!... Describing it as a place where mercy and salvation roam!... And all of these will be a source of consolation for them.

The Quran reports prophet Zachariah saying:

“O my Lord! Infirm indeed are my bones, and the hair of my head doth glisten with grey: but never am I unblest, O my Lord, in my prayer to Thee!” (Maryam, 19:4). And then, it narrates his asking Allah for giving him a good child, and describes the outcry of a person who is ready to depart this world in a poetic harmony. It is one of the miraculous aspects of the Quran that it puts this outcry coming from soul in a unique way. Anyone who is conscious will feel such an awesome outcry in his soul when he listens to his heart and sees a bitter smile on his heart’s lips. And the only cure to console him in this situation and to ease this outcry in his soul will be belief in the Hereafter. This belief and faith whispers to his ear the following words, with its life-giving breath:

“You have completed your lifespan. You have fulfilled your duty. The Infinite Mercy who sent you down onto this world is not going to waste you anymore in these deserts and is going to endow the boons, which He prepared for you, upon you by taking you to His presence.”

Yes, this news and others bearing the same meaning will enable those aged people taste peace and happiness because they are getting ready for leaving for the otherworld, which is the true homeland.

A large part of the social life consists of young people. These aggressive young people whose lives are full of nonsense turn life into a hell. On the other hand, young people from whose lives gush out light like the Companions, whose faces show happiness, all of whose actions remind Allah and in whose eyes Paradise shines turn this life into an exact Paradise. Yes, young people will find their true personalities by believing in the resurrection. When belief in the resurrection and the feeling of life after death are taken away from their hearts and minds, they will become the source of unrest for the humankind. If the humankind is restless today, it is because of the youth whose each stage of life is full of craziness and nonsense. While pedagogues and educators were trying to find solution for it, they deepened and deteriorated the wound and made it incurable due to their treatments. However, the cure of this wound is belief in the resurrection after death. Actually, the real solution is possible by enabling those young people to take their every step with the belief that they are going to account for their each step in the presence of Allah and by bringing them up with this consciousness.

Hazrat Umar was going to mosque. In front of him, was a child running to mosque very fast. He accelerated his steps, approached the child and asked him:

- O Child! Prayer is not an obligation for you. Why are hurrying to mosque so excitedly?

The child answered:

“-O the leader of the believers! A child died in our neighborhood yesterday!...

The source and the assurance of the right way is only arranging life in accordance with a day that everything is seen and recorded to be accounted. Although all occurrences and actions happening in the universe are organized by a collective power, human beings are responsible for and have to arrange their life with their own self-control. If one uses this self-control properly, Allah, with His mercy, will respond to all of his/her bodily desires and provide him/her with gardens of paradise adorned with houris, ghilmans and servants.

As a matter of fact, self-control is the manifestation of Allah’s mercy and compassion. Heaven is the manifestation of His mercy and compassion as well. In this sense, when one uses self-control, which is a requirement of Allah’s mercy and compassion, properly, he will see the reward of this in the form of a manifestation of Allah’s mercy and compassion again.

Yes, organizing life in accordance with the Hereafter and always remembering the day when all that is hidden will come into light will enable individuals, families and societies with peace and especially young people to find the right way; they will live an organized and disciplined life and they will not spoil the peace of others.

Sahl bin Sa’d reports: The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) was told that a young person confined himself to his house and kept crying. The Messenger went to his house. When he entered the house, the young man jumped up with joy and hugged the Messenger of Allah (pbuh). However, he fell down by his feet after a short time. The young man was dead. The Messenger’s eyes filled with tears and uttered the following words:

“Prepare your friend for burial. Fear of Hell frightened him to death. I swear upon Allah, in whose hands is my very self, Allah will protect him from Hell.”

“And for such as had entertained the fear of standing before their Lord's (tribunal) and had restrained (their) soul from lower desires. Their abode will be the Garden.” (an-Nazi’at, 79:40-41).

One who is anxious about accounting in the presence of the Lord and organizes his life in accordance with this anxiety is safe in the presence of his Lord. The Owner of the Infinite Mercy harbingers in a hadith: “I do not give two securities and two fears at a time.”

Who is anxious here finds salvation there. Do you know anything else other than this principle that can stop the craziness of the youth? Do you know a circle or frame that can protect people? If your answer is negative, you should be in a positive stage. All educators and pedagogues should listen to this principle and put it into practice in life. Young people mean everything. If we evaluate the issue from Hazrat Umar’s point of view, who said “A nation without young people is ruined.”, when he saw a young man who severely objected to injustice, we conclude that the existence of young people who are adorned with sublime feelings is the source of life for social life. Such a nation is capable of building new civilizations. Otherwise, it will be the vice versa. In this sense, the most important factor in the development of a nation is the youth, but a youth full of belief in the Hereafter. In short, believing people will be able to build a peaceful world and only believing people will have the right of leading a peaceful life on the earth… the youth either ruins or builds a nation. A nation either dies or comes into life with its youth.

A large part of the humankind is made up of patients, downtrodden people and sufferers. Belief in the resurrection has got a significant effect on their souls, too. A sick person, approaching death every day and running towards grave, can find hope only in seeing that grave as a corridor opening to the otherworld. If he does not consider grave a road leading to happiness and a means of reaching infinity, he will never be happy. He consoles himself with this against headaches, backaches, cancer and gangrene and he can protect himself against the pain caused by Hazrat Azrael’s hands, which he feels on his neck from time to time, only with the help of this belief. Yes, he will be consoled and forget his illness by saying “Yes, I am going; nobody will be able to stop me here… But, I will regain my health and immortal youth and I am going to the land of Allah, where everybody will return to some day.” For this reason, when believers submit their souls to Allah, they have got a smile resembling rose bud on their lips, for they reunite with their Beloved One; and they submit their souls to Him like this.

When the time of death came for him, the Prophet (pbuh), took his hands off Hazrat Aisha’s hands and said: “O my Allah, now I desire the other world.” And, one day before it, he said: “Allah presented two options to a servant; worldly boons as many as he wants and the boons with Him. The servant chose the ones with Allah.”

The servant who was supposed to choose between the worldly boons and the boons with Him was himself. He took his hands off Hazrat Aisha’s hands and desired to be with the Sublime Companion. Similarly, a well-built person like Hazrat Umar put his head on the ground in the ruins and expressed his longing for the far away (otherworld) by saying “O Allah, take this responsibility off my shoulders, I cannot carry it anymore.”

Belief in the Hereafter meant an otherworld where thousands of beauties would manifest and longing to see the Infinite Face beyond them, which made them speak these words and evoked this desire in their hearts.

As for the downtrodden people who could not save their honor from cruel and unfair people and who were eager to take revenge… They can be consoled only by thinking of the day when they will submit those who wronged them to Allah and by thinking of the rewards that will be endowed upon them. Actually, the downtrodden people, the wronged ones know it for sure that the unfair treatments made here will not be left without punishment… A major court will be set up and everything will be accounted with all details. Wrongdoers will have their punishment and wronged ones will have their rewards.

“Such is the chastisement of thy Lord when He chastises communities in the midst of their wrong: grievous, indeed, and severe is His chastisement.” (Hud, 11:102)

That is to say; once Allah catches a town of oppressors, He catches it severely and grievously. Then, that town is finished. Yes, downtrodden people can take their revenge on wrongdoers and cruel, unfair people only like this and only then can they be consoled.

As for the sufferers and troubled ones… All sufferers and troubled ones, who have been exposed to celestial calamities or earthly calamities, whose fields and gardens have been destroyed by floods or hails, whose houses have been destroyed by earthquakes, whose prosperity have been ruined together with their families and house and the likes, can only be consoled by thinking of the resurrection after death. Actually, according to this belief, all belongings which have gone with calamities are regarded as given charities and the ones who have died are elevated to the degree of martyrdom. They find peace and consolation in this very belief. While their homes turn into mansions in Paradise with belief in the Hereafter, when this belief is taken away from their hearts, they turn into pits in Hell. A house in which a child is deprived of religious feelings and life, in which a youth is addicted to his desires and worldly delights, and in which a sick person, who is expected to die, is writhing in pain is not any different than a ruin for which the owls starts to hoot while people are still in. Their eyebrows are frowned, faces are as dull as walls and the worse, while trying to escape them; the misery of alienating from one’s own self and forgetting oneself in joy and entertainment… So it is possible for the sunlight to shine into this house only through the belief in the Hereafter and the resurrection after death.

If you are thinking of making everyone, from children to the aged ones, happy, try to place belief in the resurrection into their hearts… As a matter of fact, young people will be organized and disciplined then, children will quit misbehaving and the aged ones will live happily as passengers to Heaven, and the lightning of happiness will start to flash in that house and songs of the hereafter will be sung there even before going to the Hereafter and eventually, they will start living on the earth as if they were in Heaven while they are still on the earth.

Countries and towns are also people’s large house. Peace cannot be found in a world where young people are servants of their lower-self, where the aged people are pessimistic and hopeless, and where cruel people listen to the outcries of downtrodden people as if they listen to music. In such a world, towns, countries and nations are restless; because the necessities which would bring on peace have not been met. A prayer has got certain parts which validate it and by accomplishing these parts, prayer is completed and one feels the sweet smile of ascension with his prayer and sometimes, a moment of prayer feels like equal to a life of thousands of years. Similarly, for countries and nations to be peaceful, parts that constitute them should be in accordance with those necessities of peace altogether. An ideal city or site can be established only with an ideal system. Let Plato live his dream in his “Republic”!... Let the daydreamer Farabi try to frame it in his “al-Madinatu’l-Fadila.” They will never be able to build their ideal states because they are deprived of parts which constitute it. Yes, the primary necessity to constitute this peace in life is belief in the resurrection, humiliating worldly life and waiting for the otherworld.

One of the greatest works of the Prophet (pbuh), person of a great sense of balance, is establishing his world system based on the belief of “accounting in the hereafter.” This worldly life is the introduction to the otherworldly life in a sense, a field of preparation for the Hereafter and an opportunity given to the humankind in order to light the flames of hereafter in their hearts. For this reason, this world is called “yawm ad-dunya” and the otherworld is called “yawm al-akhir”. Anything performed in this world will have been performed for the otherworld to come. The Messenger of Allah taught this lesson to everyone, which would light up the flames of comprehension and which would satisfy all hearts.

Hearts were so full of belief in the hereafter that the Companions looked down on this world and their eyes did not see almost any worldly materials. Here is an example: “Two companions came to the presence of the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) because of something which needed to be shared between them. Both of them claimed to have more of it for themselves. Having listened to them, the Prophet said:

-Now, if one of you tells his problem better that the other one and convinces me, he can make me judge on his behalf. I am just a human being like you; I will judge in favor of the one whose evidence is more convincing. However, the judgment in the Hereafter will be done according to the truth. The wrongdoer will have his punishment and the wronged one will have its reward totally there.” Upon hearing this, both of them said:

-O the Messenger of Allah! Give my share to him, too; I do not claim it anymore!”

Later, the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) suggested them doing as follows:

-Go and share the property justly, then draw lots to decide who will take which part. And comply with the result of the lots. And renounce your rights for each other.”

As it is seen, life was arranged like that with the help of belief in the hereafter. It was such an arrangement that when one committed a sin, he fastened himself on a post and punished himself in this way until he was told that he was forgiven. It was taken so seriously that companions who believed that a sin committed could be washed away only by the blood of martyrdom and thus sacrificed their lives on the way of Allah, without any hesitation and tried to pass away to the hereafter totally pure, with the blood they shed in order to drink the sherbet of martyrdom. Sa’d bin Rabi heard the whisperings of Muhammad bin Maslamah who said that he brought salutations to him from the Messenger of Allah, when he was about to submit his soul at the foot of Mount Uhud. In response to this, Sa’d bin Rabi said: “Give my salutations to the Messenger of Allah. I swear that I am feeling the smell of Heaven beyond Uhud!...”

Yes, what can it be other than belief in the hereafter that can make one taste this happiness even at the time of death? What mortal opportunity can provide an individual, a family or a society with that happiness? Now, let us report some examples from the Sublime Prophet’s statements in order to be able to comprehend how he, the source of pride for universe, educated his followers about belief in the resurrection:

The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) stated:

“O people! You will be resurrected barefooted, naked and uncircumcised.” You will come into life again with your all cells, souls and bodies. You will have a resurrection that is both spiritual and physical. The Messenger of Allah continued: “Beware! The first one to be dressed up in the Hereafter is Hazrat Abraham. Beware! On that day, some people from my ummah will be brought as caught from their left sides. I will say: “O Lord! These are my ummah!...” Allah will say to me: “O Muhammad! You do not know what they did after you!.” And then I say, like Hazrat jesus, the Righteous Servant,: “I witnessed them as long as I was with them. When You took me away, You witnessed them. You are the witness of everything. If You punish them, they are your servants actually. If You forgive them, You are the only One who is Mighty and Wise!”

In a hadith that Ahmad bin Hanbal reported from Hazrat Anas, the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said:

“The humankind has not witnessed a more violent incident than death since Allah created them. Then, death seems easier than what will happen after death. On that day, they will witness such a violence that they will sweat until their chins. Their chins almost turn into a bridle because of sweat; such sweat that even ships can float in those seas of sweat, if desired.”

The following hadith reported by Bukhari and Muslim from Abu Hurairah gives the details of the hadith above. The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) states:

“On the Day of Judgment, people will be resurrected in three categories. The first one of them is the people who established the balance of fear and hope in the world life.” They are the ones who were full of love for Allah all the times and who arranged their works in accordance with the consciousness and comprehension that they will be called to account for them in the hereafter. They are the ones who are hopeful for Allah’s mercy even in hopeless situations. They are the ones who do not fall into sorrow and hopelessness, which are signs of blasphemy, although they fear Allah to the utmost degree. And they are the ones who lead their lives in fear and hope.

“The second one of them is the people who are on an animal in twos, threes, fours… and tens in order to be able to get into Heaven.” They are trying to arrive in the presence of Allah, with so many people on an animal, with great difficulty. They will go falling down on and off, like they fell down on and off with sins and rebellion in the world life.

“As for the third category; they will be sent to Hell. (They will follow the compulsory direction following flames coming from Hell.) If they want to have a nap in the afternoon, Hell has a nap with them. If they want to sleep the night, Hell sleeps the night with them. If they want to stay awake till morning, Hell stays with them till morning as well. And whenever they meet the evening, Hell meets the evening with them, too…”

This is because they carried the seed of Hell in their hearts and souls. They slept with the seed of Hell at nights and woke up with it in the mornings. Therefore, they will be treated in accordance with the way they have lived. That seed will grow into a tree and will not leave them alone. So, the Messenger of Allah educated his followers seriously with this lesson and the likes in a consciousness for the hereafter and especially the companions behaved in an atmosphere as if they witnessed Hell with all its awe and violence and Heaven with all its beauties beyond the curtains, at the Prophet’s time. Yes; the only way to live this worldly life on the right way and virtuously is receiving this education and putting otherworldly moral values into practice in this worldly life. Otherwise, virtuousness and righteousness cannot be imagined in societies made up of individuals who have not got belief in the hereafter. If any trace of virtues are manifested in them, it is nothing but a virtue placed by Allah in their disposition and seed. And it is impossible for them to do otherwise, as it is placed in their dispositions. This impossibility forces them to do such virtuous works. And this is not as precious as the virtues that are gained by striving for them.

YESHUA 2015-2019

NEW MESSAGES FROM YESHUA

Please try to understand the true words of Yeshua and, for this, your hearts must be pure, and your minds are calm. If your hearts and minds are full of lusts there will be no understanding of this words. You will only be misusing the divinity to find excuses to legalize your wrong behaviors.

God created human beings biologically as blacks, whites and yellows. God is very close to us. God is everywhere. In our hearts and in the breath also in nature and in every good deed. If we put God to a place far from us, then He will be far from us. On the contrary God is with us all the time.

Do not put God somewhere unreachable. Yeshua is the guide of the straightest and most illuminated Broadway to God. To the very core of God. Once we are there, at the core of the God, we shall live eternally. That is the second birth. We will have born again spiritually to live eternally in God. God is love and the keyholder of the gate of love is Yeshua.

Give your body to the service of God who is love by becoming love yourselves. Give love to all around you. Vibrate positive energy and don't look back as to who has absorbed this positive energy and who has not. Those who are ready, who has reached to high frequencies of love will take it. Others with lower energies will reject it and be angry with you, thus will also try to pull you down to their level. So, never insist or argue with anybody.

God doesn't like doubt. Grow closer to God and your faith in God must be rock solid. Leave dogmas and manmade religions. Don't take them as a corner stone for your faith. Incorporate silence and solicitude into your life regularly and ask God to help you, praise Him and ask Him to forgive your mistakes.

Do not long for power and personal success. Power is necessary to protect yourselves and for malicious works. Personal success is selfishness. You do all your best and leave to others to evaluate you. Don't run after personal success. Do your best and stay in peace. Stay calm. To reflect the energy coming from God one must stay calm. One must be in peace. Otherwise the more passionate and concerned about earthly matters the less Divine Energy you can reflect.

Love is God's way. Love is not Yeshua's own personal way. Yes, God gave the order to Yeshua to teach love to all of us. To teach World how one can obtain the eternal life. Yeshua came on Earth to teach us love simply by living among us.

Yeshua did not establish a religion but simply showed the way to love and thus, to eternity. He said; ''With love in your hearts you can reach me and God. All you need is love. Only love in your hearts like little children you can reach me and God. If you can reach me, you can reach to God. You can directly reach me by love. You don't need any mediator.' ' Before Yeshua had come to World people were trying to reach 'love' but, could not. Even after that Yeshua had gone, even the closest people around Him could not understand what 'love' is. Very few people could rise to that consciousness.

God wants all His creatures be happy. That's why He has created the miracles called nature to please us. God is miracle and everything He has created are miracles. For this reason, unhappiness is accepted as a rebel against God. Live in joy and give thanks to the God, the Almighty.

People think that when a person dies, that's the end. The dead are just gone forever. But, they are wrong. Yeshua made it clear that death is not the end. He told a story about what happened after a rich man and a beggar died. Yeshua said; people remain conscious after their bodies die, and they have body, and people can feel pleasure or pain after they die.

Souls come to earth alone. But, some souls don't return alone. They are welcomed by light bearers. Those souls are the ones who have spent their lifetimes in kindness and love. By doing so they have become lights themselves and obtained the right to live eternally in light bodies. They do not incarnate again rather they also become the light bearers themselves. Majority of the humans go alone but if they not lived a harmful life to others on earth they are to be taken for training before they are given another chance by God for re-incarnation on earth in flesh.

The wicked humans who have committed crimes such as blasphemy, fornication, rape, murder, false witnessing, sorcery and theft will not be awaken at all. They will not realize even they are death and continue living in their miserable feelings under the ground for eons. They shall receive of the same sufferings of what they have done to others. 'This is Divine Justice.'

Those who have killed intentionally are not forgiven. If they kill without knowing what they have done will be annihilated by God without any suffering but, those who have killed knowingly shall first suffer all their wickedness same as they caused to others and then annihilated. Annihilation process is such; the murderer's memories will eventually diminish and will be erased totally from life. Their life energies will have mixed with nature or taken back by God. That is the second death. 'The real death.'

At the last seven minutes prior to passing to afterlife one becomes, after a short unconscious sleep, completely free to travel to the places and times with his/her conscious. This includes the ancient times. At this last minutes I advise you to focus only on God and His light. Accept death and do not pay any more attention to earthly affairs or remains. In the last minute you will be shown the place, you are going after death. This is in exception of those who have committed big crimes such as the murderers.

Human beings re-incarnate only as humans. The theory of re-incarnating as plants and animals before or after is completely wrong. There is no meaning in this. Plants and animals don't re-incarnate. Once they die their life energies get merged with natural forces. They have no awareness as the humans.

Man is not a body. Man is a soul, a consciousness. And the body is just a temporary container, in which man must go through the next stage of studying in the school in the material world.

Incarnate states of people are usually much shorter parts of their lives as compare to non-incarnate states. However, the development of man can only take place in the incarnate state. It is for this reason that the incarnations are necessary, it is for this reason that God creates material worlds.

There are fictions on earth whereas here are truths only.

According to the potency of the person difficult tasks are given.

Knowledge is given but understanding belongs to the people themselves.

You must always think the beauty beyond when it rains. You must get out of the prison you have caged yourselves. You have made a wall around yourselves. There must be a door to get out otherwise you will bump into the wall.

Thoughts are parasites and they suck the energy of your being. Without thoughts you maintain your energy in yourselves and it becomes a fullness.

Be open to learn otherwise you will become neurotics.

The point is that the body is the ''factory'' for transformation of energy. Physical movements create energy and thus with this energy loaded to soul our consciousness growth process take place both qualitatively and quantitively.

God is the living force for all. If a living creature with their own free will shall brake their ties with God while on earth, then they will disappear from the world of livings in the graves.

Yeshua said, "You shall learn the truth and the truth shall let you be free". Liberation from suffering comes with truth. Be aware of dogmas because of them people have started denying God and His truth. God is love and once this truth is forgotten there left nothing to hold on for kindness.

The word 'truth' has been translated from the Greek word 'Alethia' which originally means unforgettable. So, we understand from that we remember the truth inherited in us already. Truth is something we must remember. It has its own inherent and irresistible 'witness' to reality. People may lie to themselves but ultimately the truth has final word. ''The Light shine in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it.''

Yeshua said, if your spiritual leaders say to you, ''Look, the Divine Realm is in the sky, then the birds of the sky will get there ahead of you. If they say to you, 'it is in the sea', then the fishes will precede you. No, the Divine Reality is existing inside and all around you. Only when you come to know your true self will you be fully known and, you will understand that you are a child of the Living God. If, however, you do not come to know who you truly are, realizing your true self then you are poverty-stricken being, and it is your 'self' which lies impoverished.

Before Yeshua, ' love’ was not known on earth. Before,' eternal life’ was not known. The real Creator was not known. Before Yeshua we were all under a strict law of retaliation. An eye to an eye. With Yeshua came unity of beings, love and light, forgiveness and brotherhood. With Yeshua came the freedom.

Yeshua never said he was a personality equal to God. On the contrary he said, 'the Father is greater than I'. He said, 'I will rise to my Father, to your Father, to my God and to your God'. He prayed at His last minutes to the Father 'Father forgive them because they don't know what they are doing'. He said, 'I deliver my soul to you Hands'.

''Without the trust in Yeshua, there is no stability.'' Yeshua was the faithful and true witness and he also called 'amen'. God sent Yeshua to expand his energy down to the earth to a biological body who is to be born from Virgin Mary. Yeshua, having been born from a woman was called 'son of man' where as he was called 'son of God' before the birth. He was already an important part of the Holy Spirit, a Holy Spirit that was the first time born as son of man on Earth.

The Holy Spirit is a part of God's Spirit and the active force of God. God sends His force to anywhere He pleases to get the duties done. The Holy Spirit is a name given by us and represents the pure souls. We human beings came on earth to be able to gain the right to become a Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit in general is a part of God's spirit and the active force in universe. So Yeshua called us all to become the children of God, sparkles of God's love by being brother with him. To be like Him. As we are to become the children of God we must become the brothers and sisters of Yeshua first because Yeshua is the son of God. Originally 'the son' means the sparkles of God's love. The atomy particles of God's light.

Holy Spirits live in the Kingdom of God. This is the second birth, eternal life in the core of God as light beings. Consciousness, living in light bodies instead of the flesh bodies. There is no gender, no nationality but ‘us'. Every conscious unit will have consciousness with their own integrity but acting as one.

The truth requires a much deeper understanding. Spirituality requires that you ask questions of yourself, whilst religions requires you to rely on books to move forward. And, by doing so millions of soul's minds have been locked down. Religions has become the slave owner’s mental back doors. Organized religions all over the world has become politics.

Soul needs to be constantly stimulated with new concepts to challenge and to feel invigorated. As the apparently only living gods (Pagan gods prophets) are not speaking anymore, but the so-called living gods from among the various religious clergy, people need more stimulus. They gravitate the ways calling them from within their soul. Religion is memory based as people can only exchange holy books scriptures as opposed to their own original thinking. The person with the ability to recite more scriptures is regarded as the more gifted, not due to originate but to ability to recite script. This can also be good for some time but this has always been detrimental for people who believes them. They have been taken away from their real mission. That's why the battle now commences with soul arguing with the programmed religious mind.

Discipline your life. Do the things that are hard to do: discipline is a necessary part of a successful life. The easy way out is for losers. Life will not coddle you out of your troubles, so don't waste yourself in complaining and whining. Want some examples of discipline? Master your thoughts and have spiritual practice! These take discipline at first, but they become something you love to do because they work. Serve others as well as yourselves. Do something nice for everybody. Reach out for good. Give of yourself.

While living on earth, don't disturb anybody, but make the world better with your caring. Love beauty and be curious. The world is incredible even if we've messed it up. Listen to upbringing music and read uplifting books. Create something. Learn something new. Take care of your body. Don't eat junk. Drink pure water without chlorine and fluoride. Get adequate sleep. Have a stress elimination routine and get exercise.

The one who has entered the spiritual path has to separate in oneself the true, eternal and valuable for life in the highest eons-from the false, which belongs only to this world. Then one has to cultivate in oneself the first and get rid of the second. Those who have accomplished this become eternal in the Divine eons. That is, make sure that you see heavenly treasure as infinitely more precious than earthly material treasure. When your eye sees things this way, you are full of light. And if you don't see things this way, even the light you think you see (the glitz and flash and skin and muscle of this world) is all temporary. You are sleepwalking through life. You are serving money as a slave without even knowing it, because it has lulled you to sleep. Far better is to be swayed by the truth- the infinite value of God.

God and the spirits hear not only the words which we say but also our thoughts, even the most ''secret'' ones. They also see everything existing in the world of matter, in all detail. Not only clothes, under which we hide our bodies, but even the intestines of our bodies are absolutely to the sight of Them. We are visible to all. They examine us, admiring or compassionating, respecting or making fun, loving or disliking, despising, foretasting our future suffering.

You shall know the truth and what you have learned will set you free from all mortal passions and fears. Without the truth, there can be no real morality, justice, equality, unity, success, freedom, love, joy, peace, spirituality or even survival. Only the truth can stop the wars and make the world the paradise it can be.

Keep calm and be pure hearted, then you will have direct connection with God, the Almighty. You will start getting your energy directly from God once you have reached and internalized the truth of life. You will be self-radiant like the stars in the universe. Once you become pure in heart you will be called as Holy Spirit. That you have gained the right again to live eternally in the core of God, just as it was in the beginning of the creation. You will start to sparkle your own light and you won't be a reflection anymore.

Average human beings curse those who worship material things but, the same human beings curse those who worship God twice as much. Even if you are not wanted, continue with reflecting the love as the world needs this. You, yourself become light and sparkle your own light.

Nations repeating themselves without love and wise are bound to lose at the end. Racism, gender, color, nationality and social statues must not carry any importance and superiority feelings over other people. We must never drive away those who approaches us openheartedly with love. We must find a way to live in peace together. We must be kind to others. Individuals must be able to stand for good even if the rest of the world goes to opposite direction. The only way to reach God's Kingdom which is eternal life in the core of Him, is love because God is Love.

God do not take revenge, but we separate ourselves from Him by thinking we can have separate life on ourselves without the God, the Creator. God is the Source of life. God is in and around us. We have been created to live in the core of Him eternally as His Spirit's holy sparkles at the highest eons. This is what we call the Kingdom of God, the core.

In the coming times, along with the new generations coming, the old will be replaced and, with this replacement, will come the new perceptions. As the new generations replace the old generations, believes will also be replaced. In fact, new generations will be clever, more energetic and more perceptive, but more mechanical and more egoistic as well. Religions will be left, and people will believe in sort of Source. They shall live more isolated life and get lonely.

Keep calm. Always keep your mind calm. Can you see yourselves on boiling water? No, you can’t, but if the water is calm like a mirror then you can see yourselves as if you are looking to a mirror. That's important. If your mind is not calm enough, you cannot receive the life energies flowing to every direction from the Source. That's why keeping calm is vital. Without having received the continuous flowing of the life energies one cannot stay healthy. Both physically and mentally.

. So, keep away anxiety.

. Keep calm.

. Never lose your temper.

. Praying is a great help to keep calm.

. Also, daily grounding with soil and water are very essential.

Could God not create the human beings as human beings of today? Has God not powerful enough for that? Certainly, God can, and He did. God doesn't need evolution. God creates by Word. Liner time as we perceive is our physical cognition whereas, in spiritual eons there is no time, only the present.

The first human beings were created almost 80 thousand years ago as todays human beings. Human beings became servants of their own bodies, whereas these bodies are only covers. Nothing else, and if you pollute them by bad feedings and bad thoughts your souls shall also be polluted. In addition to that wrong doings, human beings have started to use their bodies as a weapon against each other.

God creates the most perfect and beautiful because He is perfect and beautiful. We, human beings are the ones who destroy the beauty because we are jealous. We destroy the perfectness because we are greedy and unkind.

Also, evil doings of the tyrants which are in power of the big organizations like governments, financial foundations and religious sects got out of control. This will lead to a mass extinction of the species including human beings. Water will cover almost all over the world. There will be no life left on planet which had happened also before. When the planet renews itself a new race, both the bodies and the souls will be pure, will be created by God. The closing is a must unfortunately. They have speed up the procedure. The duration is probably like what scientists expect. However, God knows only. It is up to Him. The human-like creatures like Cro-Magnon, Neanderthal were not human. They did not have the consciousness and awareness you have.

I had said: "God forgive them. They don't know what they are doing". Now they know what they are doing. They know that they are at the point of no return from their wickedness. They know that they will taste the second death. That's why they carry on fiercely with their evil doings. That's why I do not pray for them. I do not say: "God forgive them" any longer.

Pray to God only for goodness. God is the spring of goodness and cleanness. From this clean spring is it possible to drink dirty water? But, if the mouths are dirty than the water also will get dirty in the mouths. So, never pray anything which is not for the goodness of yourselves and others. Cursing or imprecation cannot be prayed from God. Remember: ''Pray for your enemies also''. Those who curse or damn will be punished by God.

The Kingdom of God is not where God reigns, but where His Source of Divine Power is.

''The time is fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God come near; repent, and believe in the good news. Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you''.

Our physical identities are for examinations to reach to higher eons. The physical bodies we use are not us, but instruments for our souls to be developed. When we are finished with them they shall be left behind to soil where they came from originally. Our soul identities are what matters. What we load to our souls, here on Earth, we will become in after life. And, that some of you will wake up to light and some to darkness.

If you shut the truth and the Life out, then you miss the mark. If you give priority to other things by giving more emphasis to desires rather than truth, it is the only way you can commit a sin. The unseen enemies of mankind are those who are preventing humans from learning and changing. Open minded, rational humans are needed. The rest, by means of morality, will come as they start to realize that they have to have respect for themselves and, above all, for life. Up till now the word of God has been destroyed by the traditions that has been handed down.

Information is not wisdom, those who are full of information shall miss the truth longest.

The truth is simple. Not only educated, but the children can also understand it.

. Love God with all your heart, wise and soul. This is spiritual love, love without seeing and hearing.

. Love everybody as yourself. The love here is the Divine Love which means a general affection.

. Cease doing malignant actions.

. Experience genuine remorse for the wrong committed.

. Make restitution to repair the damage done to others.

. Act to protect life, preserve life, make life more functional and/or improve the quality of life.

. Respect the human lives and beasts. Do not kill.

...but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.

Slavishly believing in dogmas, insulting the consciousness of all men, and has been pulled down by the darkness. With dogmas souls will be conquered by negative feelings such as rage, hatred, fear and jealousy. But with intuition men will be filled with unconditional Divine Love for everybody and everything meaning that you have reached the consciousness of unity. And your souls shall be full of love, peace and understanding.

Many human beings say 'I love you' one day and reject you the next day. This is not love. One whose heart is filled with love of God cannot willfully hurt anyone. When you love God without reservation, your heart gets filled with His unconditional love flowing freely always for all who are ready to take. The ordinary love is self-centered in the consciousness of 'I, Me, Mine', he has not discovered the omnipresent God who resides in him and everything.

Yeshua said; 'I am a drop of light from God.' 'I wish you to be all the same.' I am the path, illuminated path. If you stray from this path wickedness will catch you just like wild animals catch their prey. Follow me, the straightest and illuminated path, and this will take you to eternal life again. Yeshua represents the love God wants us to be able to live on earth.

Yeshua's main mission is healing. He is the key holder of the gate to the Kingdom. The gate of love, and nobody may pass through this gate without becoming pure in their hearts. God is love so, how can they enter the Kingdom of God before reaching full love in their hearts. That's why Yeshua said, ''I am the path'' because he represented the love of God. He said: '' I am the light'' because he is illuminating this path. And that path leads to the Kingdom (eternal life in the core of God). That's why Yeshua said, ''I am life''.

The sizes of every bodies' cups are different. Human beings can understand His messages according to the sizes of their cups. Even, 2000 years ago, His disciples couldn't understand Him. Those who reads this message will understand according to their consciousness level so, never insist but give the message and go to your way. Do not struggle to conceive as the ones with lower consciousness will not understand and, on the contrary will pull you down.

Eternal life is available only after physical death and the second birth which is spiritual. That is an awareness only a few souls have while living on earth. Notify this truth. Do not look back as to who have understood and who have not. Do not lose time with that. As some babies are being born dead, the same, some souls are also born dead. Just notify.

Our hearts must be pure. Our hearts are the source of our feelings, and if they are dirty nothing good will come out of it. Notice that all the religious are made for the sole purpose of possessions. Worship of ego most of the time and, they put their egos in the center and became fake idols.

You are all here to prove yourselves. There are still some souls waiting for incarnation on earth for the first time. This is due to their own wrong doings while at the spiritual realms. They didn't take serious enough the duties and trainings given to them. You are all here to gain the eternal life. To be born again spiritually. God sent Yeshua to teach us love so that we can eternal life.

World is the place of selection. So, try to be the ones who shall be selected. Look above to Godly things and act accordingly. Overcome the lust and temptation. God is limitless at every aspect. God warns directly and when He convicts it is irrevocable.

As the rulers of the world cannot compete with the rising birth rate, they are using terrorism to make them kill each other. Ego pushes nations into the lust as to be superior to others as well as the individuals to other individuals. Those individuals who are the real rulers who wants to work for humanity are being killed.

If you inflict terrible sufferings on others, surely, you've got to be punished. There are no exceptions. You will go through a life review, rather like a documentary with prodigious value. You will experience your life from the point of view of everyone who has involved: Everyone's feelings, attitudes, motives and believes laid bare, including yours. You won't just observe through their eyes and ears, you will experience what they have experienced. Did you steal from someone? You will experience his hurt and outrage. Did you give food to someone who was hungry? Then you will experience her relief and joy. Of course, your earth personality could not cope with this review, because the ship of your mind would founder in the emotional typhoon. Do you see the significance of this?

Through the afterlife there are multitude of different journeys. In the past, many didn't know that one cannot take anything with himself, and they took it all. Weapons, trappings of wealth, and slaves thoughtfully slaughtered for their post-earth convenience. Eventually time comes for real things.

Keep away from all type of perversion. Do not even look at the perverted humans with sympathy. Do not make friendships with them. They have strayed from the righteousness and left the humanity. They all shall taste the second death together with those who have made friendships with them or even look at them with sympathy and approval.

If you helped somebody or do a favor for them don't talk about it. Don't keep repeating of your kindness. If you talk about the good deeds you have done for others than your good behaviors will be of no value. Because, repeatedly mentioning the kindness done is like digging the newly planted tree's roots.

Man and woman are equal as an equal half of an apple. Whatever is right for one side is also right for the other side as well. There is no discrimination. The sides have different characteristics, but this is to complete each other. The main features are the same. Marriages must be pure as it is a remarkable opportunity for self-development of people longing for Truth. A pure marriage is vital in striving for attainment of Mergence with the Holy Spirit. As for its impure form, it exists as an outer appearance. By this, they will burden significantly their destinies. So, cognize the pure marriage, for it has great power.

Yeshua said, ''Blessed are those who verily existed before they were born. The one who verily exists now was like this and will be.'' Psychogenetically young people can live only an instinctive-reflexive life like the life of primitive animals. Those who represent a qualitatively and quantitively developed consciousness are capable of truly conscious, rightly directed, disciplined existence on the Path to the spiritual perfection, on the Path to the Father. But the maturing of the consciousness is a quite slow, and it lasts many incarnations. The statement of Yeshua is about this: first, it is easy to live with such mature people. Second, such people were prepared to such spiritual levels of existence before the beginning of the present incarnation.

Switch your attention to the Highest Goal-God the Father.

. Do not fear the flesh, nor love it.

. If you fear it, it will become your master.

. If you love it, it devours and subjugate you.

Rise in the highest eons. If you cannot succeed in this world you will be found outside of God's love eventually where the real badness is. It is perdition there. That's why it is good to live that world having not committing sins. We must acquire the resurrection while we live in this world. So that when we strip off the flesh, we may be found in calm, but not walk outside of love. Yet many go astray from the Path.

The Bridal Chamber is neither for animals, nor for men-slaves of passions, nor for women driven by passion. It is for pure women and men who gained spiritual freedom. Then one must learn to enter this Highest Eon by one's own efforts and stay in it. It is called the birth in it as a Holy Spirit. And one comes to Mergence with the Consciousness dwelling in God. Once you are there, once you feel the peace and calm in there you will never miss anything else again. You become the Son.

The purified souls becomes the user of the Divine Energies. The user can absorb divine energy and power directly into their body and use it in various ways.

The true purified soul's mind can weather all the lies and illusions without being lost. Their souls always yields to purifying light.

One passion includes all others. Purification requires the soul to be pure and clean from our own passions and lusts. The more we purify ourselves, the more we allow for Divine grace to function. When a soul is completely clean from its passion and is totally humbled, then it can experience the grace of God and the fulfillment of all His promises.

If a man thinks only of his own profit, and tries to benefit himself at the expense of others, he will incur the hatred of Heaven.

Communism was a gigantic facade, and the reality concealed behind it was the sheer drive for power, for total power as an end in itself. The rest was merely instrumental -- a matter of tactics and some necessary self-restrictions to achieve the desired end. Thus rationalism was transformed under communism into the idea of slavery.

There's an increasing sense in our political life that in both parties politicians call themselves public servants but act like bosses who think that voters work for them. Politicians who jerk around doctors, nurses and health systems call themselves servants, when of course they look more like little kings and queens instructing the grudging peasants in how to arrange their affairs. But in Governments, where the Legislative is in one lasting Assembly always in being, or in one Man, as in Absolute Monarchies, there is danger still, that they will think themselves to have a distinct interest, from the rest of the Community; and so will be apt to increase their own Riches and Power, by taking, what they think fit, from the People. Our rulers are theoretically "our" representatives, but they are busy turning us into the instruments of the projects they keep dreaming up.

Mankind soon learn to make interested uses of every right and power which they possess, or may assume. The public money and public liberty...will soon be discovered to be sources of wealth and dominion to those who hold them; distinguished, too, by this tempting circumstance, that they are the instrument, as well as the object of acquisition. With money we will get men, said Caesar, and with men we will get money.

It is not enough that honest men are appointed Judges. All know the influence of interest on the mind of man, and how unconsciously his judgment is warped by that influence.

Life is a better teacher of virtue than politicians, and most sensible governments in the past left moral faults alone. Instead, democratic citizenship in the twenty-first century means receiving a steam of improving "messages" from authority. Some may forgive these intrusions because they are so well intentioned. Who would defend prejudice, debt, or excessive drinking? The point, however, is that our rulers have no business telling us how to live. They are tiresome enough in their exercise of authority. They are intolerable when they mount the pulpit. We should never doubt that nationalizing the moral life is the first step toward totalitarianism.

In fact, it appears that those who have the most unquestioning belief in their own virtue, from the Capitalists to Commununists, are often those who feel entitled to commit, and do commit, the most abhorant acts against those who oppose them or who have different values.

Yeshua was not a rabbi. Yeshua took Maria Magdelena under His marriage certificate for the sole purpose of protecting her life. They never had sexual intercourse nor stay under the same roof.

Yeshua had no intention of making his name know worldwide as the one who came after him did. He didnot want to establish a new religion or a new flow. He was a Juden and wanted to correct the mıstakes his peoples were makıng under the name of religion.

Spiritual truth is eternal and universal: no particular religion or sect can have a monopoly on it. So, never get bigotted on one religion or other. Yeshua did not bring a new religion. He remind you the universal truth which is unity and the way to achiving it which is love.

Yeshua told me that: I shouldn't had taken her under my name through marrige. I admit I must have sort of weakness for her. But we had never been together as husband and wife. God wouldn't had allowed that. But, because we had been officially married I had to pay for her penalties here as well. This is valid for every marrige. Men take the responsibly of their wives.

Yeshua said that he had never been to France or to Tibet. He was a Divine Soul among us to show us the straighest and the most illimunated way to Divineness.

He said that His body was not left on Earth.

Yeshua said, ''The shroud of turin is fake. The real cotton that had been used faded away and dissolved in time. It is now nowhere.''

There will be no second coming. I have come and gone many times and I still come and go when & where it is necessary. But as Yeshua Messiah I will not come again.

There is no end time as you think. There is no devil. There is no armagedon. That will be against the act of free will.

There will be huge natural disasters and the World will change. There will be famine, plaques and floods worldwide. The world population will decrease voliminously. Life styles will change completely.

Do not loose faith. Keep calm till end. You, humans have acceletated this situation by your greeds. Do not be afraid of dying. Your feelings are very important at your last hours. This affects your passing procedure to afterlife. Whether you can realize you have died or not soon. Do not loose your faith at the last minutes. That is very important. I am always with the faithful.

You don’t need a religion to reach me.

All you need is love.

Only with Love in your hearts like little children you can reach me and God.

These are the steps of stairs.

Love, Me and God.

With Love in your hearts you can reach me.

If you reach me you can reach to God.

I couldn’t teach that to human beings.

You can directly reach me by love.

Declare that to all people.

They don't need any mediator.

Love God with all you soul, heart and mind and love people as yourself.

All you need is a pure heart full of love.

The germs of true religion originate in the domain of man’s moral consciousness, and they are revealed in the growth of man’s spiritual insight.

Yeshua says: "Do not be a warrior."

But religions say:"Fight till the end untill the law is fulfilled."

Follow Yeshua not the religions.

WAKE UP

I am holding the key of love, my brother. You know that God is love. So, how can they enter the Kingdom of God before reaching to full love in their hearts. That's why I have said that I was the path. I represent the love God created. I am illuminating that path that's why I have said that I was the light. And that path leads all to the Kingdom. To The Eternal Life. So, that's why I have said I was the life. That's why I have said that I came to World so that you could have life in abundance.

I hope most of you will awake before death and be taken.

Do not be a warrior. Drop your shields. Leave your passion. Leave all your addictions, fear, nervousness. Let love be your path and light be your comrade on this path. Fill your heart with love for God and do not allow anything to violate this love. Do not put anything before your love for God. Keep calm. Do not allow nerviousness control your mind and do not let fear and infidelity fill in your heart.

Turn your face to light and let the light illimunate your face. You are neither your emotions nor your mind. You are a being above them. Be aware of your reactions. Watch them as a third person and criticize. Put them down when they are short tempered. When your mind become like a clear water reflecting all who looks at you and your emotions positive, full of love then you are eligible for becoming a part of the Holy Spirit.

The souls who are awakened while still living on Earth and has reached the state of emiting God's pure energy also pulls the negative energies of unawakends and turns it into pure energy and send it back to God. Had they not been doing this energy healing, the World would have turned upside down long ago. That is what Yeshua did on a global measure once.

All of the life energy which has intellect derivates from God. God gave us everything but, alas, fewer of us believes in Him in Spirit. Most of us believes in a mighty merchant king. If pleased, gives every sort of lust fullfilling toys othervise burns forever.

Most of us believes in a false gods in allignment with their egos for richness, virgins, wealth of no boundries, flesh and gold. All sort of wordly lusts. They are unable to perceive Spirit and the peace when filled up with that Spirit.

Eternal life and Holy Spirit does not mean anything to them. They worship gold, flesh and the power giver but, not the Spirit.

If your children had loved you just for the money you gave them, how would you feel? Aren't we the children of God? How God feels? Let's think.

For the past 2,000 years he has maintained a line of communication through those who have been willing to serve as messengers for His Living Word and who have pursued an understanding of His true message instead of settling for fake official religious doctrines which disturb Him continiously.

Once you admit that mainstream religious traditions have not answered your questions about life, you are very close in getting contact with the divine truth.

If you use a perverted version of Yesua's teachings as a justification for closing your mind to His real teachings, you are not one of His modern-day disciples.

God's judgement regarding gender condition is final. Those who are perverted such as transgender; gays, lesbiens, bisexual, intersex, and like perversions, even those who accept this incidents as normal, those who make friendships with them, marries to them, perform their marriage ceromony, who confirms and legalize this perversion, and who blesses them, anyone who feels affinity with them are going to be annihilated by God and they shall not see the eternal life.

So called gays and lesbians are mentally ill and morally pervert people.

Same as fornication these should not be accepted as normal in communities. This kind of sickness will in tima rot natural relationships. They should enter under a remedy treatment.

Those perversions are a rebellion against the God.

THE ONE BEING

There is only One Being at the Universe. And, there are beings in that One Being. Human beings first know themselves. Learn their essence first and then they can connect to God. When you connect to God you are like a hawk. You start living multidimensional and multifaceted.

Those who are in agony are actually suffering from a side product of their ego. Not seeing the miracles around and see the misery only is egoism.

Do not become a voice among other voices. Be still, keep calm and be silent then you can become a witness of your surrounding.

Yeshua 27th, August 2017

THE WAYS WE ARE FREE TO CHOSE

There are two ways for the souls.

One goes to life and the other goes to death. Faith is very important. Whatever you believe while you live in a physical body is what you are going to face after death. The soul does not die with body and whatever you have loaded to him/her will go with the soul.

So, don't load weakness and wrong beliefs to your soul. In addition to that your conscience knows everything and by every wrong doing of yourselves realizes that he/she shall have to face the consequences.

As for the crimes the divine justice will be working.

The unseen enemies of mankind are those who are preventing humans from learning and changing. Open minded, rational humans are needed. The rest, by means of morality, will come as they start to realize that they have to have respect for themselves and, above all, for life.

If you shut the truth and the Life(God) out then you miss the mark. If you give prioity to other things by giving more emphasis to desires rather than truth, it is the only way you can commit a sin.

God is the spring of kindness, goodness and cleanness. From this clean spring, is it possible to drink dirty water? One can drink only clean water. But, if the mouths of the drinkers are dirty than the water gets dirty as well in their mouths. As such only goodness can be prayed from God. Badness cannot be prayed from Him. Badness for somebody else or curse cannot be wished from that pure Spring. Those who do this vile wishes are punished by God.

Think of God and His light. Do not put any other loves in between your love for God and yourselves. Love God first and before everything and everybody. Do not be a warrior. Drop your shields. Leave your passion. Leave all your addictions, fear, nerviousness. Let love be your path and light be your comrade on this path. Fill your heart with love for God and do not allow anything to violate this love. Keep calm. Do not allow nerviousness control your mind and do not let fear and infidelity fill in your heart

Never deny God, Almighty. Do not even argue about His oneness and divineness. He is the Source of light. He is Love. He is in and out of everything seen and unseen. Our bodies are to be the temple of The Holy Spirit. Our souls are to be the part of His Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit is the active force of God so, our souls must be the home for God. All the praises and all the glory are belong to Him, to our God, to our Love. His will be done forever.

The physical realm is the world of beginnings and endings, creation and destruction. Matter and energy change forms as ceaselessly as the ocean’s surface rises and falls from frothy wave to wave. Trees, mountains, buildings, and human bodies are all temporary. They're just the scenery, and when a drama is finished, the scenery is torn down to make room for another set that can contain another play. Only we, the players, are real and eternal—our consciouses are spiritual, and our consciouses are entirely separate from the brain and physical realm.

“By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible”.

Never forget, spirituality Is what you are, it is not what you do. The total of what you have loaded to yourselves while living on earth.

Spiritual adultery includes any form of idolatry and is a major theme throughout the Old Testament. Yeshua reminds us just how deadly this form of adultery can be. Yeshua said, “Nobody can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other”. It’s important as believers that we leave the worldly attachements and lusts behind us, put the God before us first. There is no turning back.

Knowing God is the purpose of human existence. When you get this, you’re at peace. The search is over. Ego-driven expectations disappear. Life begins to be genuinely celebrated.

We show up for one reason and one reason only: to walk with God, or union with Divine.

“The word ‘enlightenment’ conjures up the idea of some superhuman accomplishment. It is really just your natural state of felt oneness with Being.”

SPIRITUAL ADULTARY

“God sent His son as a ransom to be sacrified so that with his blood our sins are washed.”

They claim this sadistic knowledge from the Bible and really believe in it. I reject to believe in such a cruel and sadistic god… What would you say to that my brother?

Yeshua said: “There are a lot of false words in bible. You are right. This is wrong. God is love. God is the God of all universe, not only the World’s. I didn’t come to World as ransom. I had come as the love of the Father but I was not welcomed and was tried to be killed. Even now 2/3 of the people on Earth are still wicked. They are enemies of God Who is Love and Light. The Source of every goodness and beauty. Uptill now I used to pray: My God they don’t know what they are doing. Forgive them…but now I don’t say ‘forgive them’ anymore. "

I asked to Yeshua in my lucid dream, Christian belief is as such that those who believe in You and get babtised, the Holy Spirit will be cast down upon them. Is it so?

Yeshua answered, ‘’Holy Spirit is neither cast down nor descend but humans must rise up cognitively to become a Holy Spirit.’’

All people – Christians or not – receive this help through the spiritual love that Yeshua hold. "Ask and you will be answered".

PROPHECY

Any kind of prophecy, prediction or clairvoyance regarding future events are not wellcomed by the God. God detastes interference with His doings. God gets disturbed about the foretellings of any kind regarding what He is going to do.

Those in the past, your socalled prophets, had said many things. If one says so many a thing regarding future events some of them might be used to sitimulate people according to the policies of the rulers. That doesn't mean that they know the future. Nobody can and may know the future. To know the future one must be superior to the One who makes the future every moment anew, The Almighty God. That is, to think that you are superior to Him even unknowingly, a very disgraceful mistake one can do.

Nobody can know what God will do. Nobody can talk about future. That is to poke your nose in God's bussiness which is an impertinent action. God is superior and can not be forecasted. Also this impertinent action, trying to forecast God's affairs disturbs God.

Stay with righteouness. Never bring evil thoughts into action. Do not give them life.

Yeshua.

FINAL WARNING

Time is closing. Sideways were all closed. There is no sideways any more. Either one reaches to God or to the second death after the physical death. "All or nothing." That is the word and the deed now to reach God. You have to focus on God only in order to achive this goal. Those who shall not succeed this goal will lose everything. Tell this to everyone.

Yeshua, 1st of March, 2018.

IN GOD WE TRUST…

If He Were MY Boyfriend

This fun little post was inspired by a funny conversation I was having with @muselin

How would YOU see yourself if you were the MC? I tag @muselin @lostfish-03 @dopeassjaqjack and @iluvsexyvoltageguys

This is just how I personally would be with each god if we were dating.

Leon-

Like a moth to the flame Leon would drive me crazy till I lost it then laugh at how distressed he could make me. That would simply inspire a wave of rebellion with me trying to catch him off guard with something out there every chance I got. For example? Flashing him during the departments meeting when no one else was looking just to see if he's paying attention.

Teorus-

I'm a jealous woman and any bitch even looking at my man, goddess or not is going to get a fist to the face. After a while he would be well trained to always eat at home. If not? I'm definitely that kind of gal that would go out of my way to sleep with her before he got the chance and have it set up so he would actually catch me doing it.

Huedhaut-

What wouldn't I do with Hue? He's one of the few I'd be a hundred percent submissive to.

Karno-

Almost too sweet for me. I'm the type of girl who likes a challenge and a bit of a wild streak. I'd constantly be pushing Karno into trying all sorts of new things, willing or not.

Aigonorous-

I love sleep. I love comfy. I LOVE pajamas. I believe marshmallows should be considered a food group. Aigo and I are soulmates. When we weren't passed out in blissful comfort, we'd be feeding each other marshmallows in bed and doing a whole lot of fucking.

Tauxolouve-

I hate to admit it but I would absolutely fall for his charms. I'd be like a puppy following him everywhere doing whatever to make him happy. Another of the rare birds I'd be submissive to.

Scorpio-

Holy shit what a crazy relationship we would have. I'd find it far too entertaining when he got angry to be scared. I'd constantly be pushing his buttons trying to see how much it took before we'd have angry sex. I wouldn't be able to help myself fucking with him by purposely thinking of the weirdest, darkest shit when he touched me.

Dui-

We would be two peas in a pod. Best friends with mind blowing sex as often as time would allow. I'd love both sides of him equally and never change a thing about him. No one would understand him more than another Gemini.

Ichthys-

*laughs evilly* Yeah. We would be everyone's worst nightmare. Aside from being exceptionally weird, I would definitely be in on the majority of Ikky's pranks. We would be THAT couple that everyone hates to be around. I firmly believe Ichthys would please me better than any other god in the sack and good lord would we fuck like rabbits.

Partheno-

Another nightmare for everyone else. I put Partheno to shame in the pervy department already so I can't imagine if we fueled each other's dirty side. I'd beg him to do my hair and makeup everyday and wear all sorts of risque outfits that would make the others blush.

Krioff-

It may sound strange but our relationship would be fueled on humor. I'd find his awkward side too much fun and constantly play around with him. We would have our share of disagreements but our best moments would be expressed between the sheets.

Zyglavis-

Polar opposites. We would not get along at ALL. In fact, we would probably find ourselves constantly looking for ways to antagonize each other further. Fighting and arguing would become background noise around the mansion. The only time we'd get along would be to fornicate. My relationship with Zig could be summed up in two words. Fighting and Fucking.

Abusing the Goodness of GOD | John MacArthur [Romans 2:1-5]

Romans 2:1-5 | You therefore have no excuse, you who pass judgment on another. For on whatever grounds you judge the other, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things.

And we know that God’s judgment against those who do such things is based on truth. So when you, O man, pass judgment on others, yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God’s judgment?

Or do you disregard the riches of His kindness, tolerance, & patience, not realizing that GOD’s kindness leads you to repentance? But because of your hard & unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of wrath, when God’s righteous judgment will be revealed.

The goodness of GOD, & how to abuse it.

Turn to Romans 2, the great Magna Carta of the gospel, I want to read you the opening five verses, as we focus on abusing the goodness of GOD.

Now, the word that I want to direct your attention to is found twice in v.4, translated as kindness.

If you have an Authorized Version [King James], it will be translated goodness; goodness.”

In fact, traditionally it has been translated goodness & in many newer translations, kindness. Kindness is a good way to explain goodness here, because it is not goodness as opposed to badness.

It is not that GOD is good as opposed to bad; it is that HE is good in the sense of being benevolent.

The word here, chrēstotēs, means good in the sense of generous, good in the sense of merciful, good in the sense of kind, & so kindness is an apt translation of this word.

Its equivalent in the OT is the Hebrew word chesed, which basically is translated lovingkindness.

1.] That is the attribute of GOD that we want to focus on; GOD is possessed by an innate good will toward sinners, an innate kindness.

GOD is by nature merciful, tender-hearted, compassionate; GOD withholds judgment.

GOD grants benevolent favors because it is HIS nature. It is a reason to praise HIM, it is a reason to honor HIM, it is a reason to worship HIM.

In the NT, the word for HIS goodness or kindness is chrēstotēs. There are two OT words, chesed, that very familiar word usually translated lovingkindness, & another word, tov, which is also translated goodness or kindness.

2.] The OT extols the goodness of GOD as a reason for worship; in fact, it is most often referred to in the Psalms, which is the worship book of the OT.

Psalm 23:6, the Shepherd’s Psalm, “Surely goodness & mercy shall follow me all the days of my life,”

The psalmist when he contemplates the goodness of GOD, who is a shepherd who cares for HIS sheep, & provides for them goodness & mercy all the days of their lives.****

In Psalm 25:8, “Good is the LORD” that is, kind, merciful, benevolent, generous.

Psalm 31:19, “Great is YOUR goodness.”

Psalm 52:1, “Your goodness [of the LORD] is continual.”

Psalm 33:5, “The earth is full of the goodness of the LORD” it is everywhere, at all times, spread across the world.

Psalm 107:8, “Give thanks to the LORD for HIS goodness.”

Psalm 145 is worth our focused attention Here is perhaps the most beautiful of expressions of praise toward GOD for HIS goodness, HIS kindness. Psalm 145:1-7 “I will extol YOU, my GOD, O King, I will bless YOUR name for ever & ever. Every day I will bless YOU, And I will praise YOUR name for ever & ever. great is the LORD, & highly to be praised, And HIS greatness is unsearchable. One generation shall praise YOUR works to another, And shall declare YOUR mighty acts. On the glorious splendor of YOUR majesty And on YOUR wonderful works, I will meditate. Men shall speak of the power of YOUR awesome acts, And I will tell of YOUR greatness. “They shall eagerly utter the memory of YOUR abundant goodness And will shout joyfully of YOUR righteousness.” “Throughout history, when men & women offer praise to YOU, they will praise YOU for YOUR goodness. They will thank YOU for YOUR goodness. They will worship YOU for YOUR goodness.”

3.] YOU cannot worship GOD & leave out HIS goodness, HIS kindness, HIS generosity, HIS benevolence, HIS mercy.

Now, this is a very important place to find this theme.

Kindness in a sense, an odd place to put this [Romans 2:4], because all around this are warnings about judgment.

In fact, Romans 1:18 after the introduction to this great book we read: “The wrath of GOD is revealed” or unleashed – “from heaven against all ungodliness & unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because that which is known about GOD is evident within them, for GOD made it evident to them.”

Romans 1:21 says, “Even though they knew GOD, they **** didn’t honor HIM as GOD or give thanks, were futile in their speculation, their foolish heart was darkened.”

v.23 “They exchanged the glory of the incorruptible GOD for an image in the form of corruptible man & birds & four-footed animals & crawling creatures.”

And what this is describing is the wrath of GOD unleashed on the Gentile world; a world full of false gods, false religions & idols. And they’re “without excuse”

v.20 - they have no excuse, for the truth of GOD has been revealed in them.

3a] In Romans 2:20, the law of GOD is written in their hearts. The evidence of GOD can be seen from creation of the world.

So, Romans 2:18 & following, is divine judgment on the world. That judgment comes in the form of GOD giving people up [v.24] to their lusts - that is, to fornication, sexual immorality of all kinds.

v.26, to degrading passions, namely homosexuality. Going beyond that, v.28 describes a reprobate, depraved mind.

Their behavior is immoral, even to the degree of homosexuality, & they can’t recover because their brains/thinking is warped.

And so, their behavior is unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil, envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice, gossip, slander, haters of GOD, insolent, arrogant, boastful, etc., etc., etc.

So, the great section that launches the argument of the book of Romans is that the whole world is under divine judgment.

And we’re not talking about eschatological judgment, judgment in the future, but cyclical judgment in human history, whereby nations that turned their backs on GOD—such as has happened in our own nation—are turned over to immorality, then to homosexuality, & finally to a corrupted mind, from which come all sorts of evils that dominate the culture.

3b] This judgment has gone on throughout human history.

Acts 14 says GOD allowed all the nations to go their own way; this is the cycle of history being repeated in our own country, & in the western world & around the globe, even now.

Now, if that’s all there was in the book of Romans, the Jews would say, “Yeah, you’re right, Paul; you’re absolutely right.

The nations of the world should be under judgment for their immorality, homosexuality & corruption that flows out of their depraved & perverted minds.

We agree.

“Moral people, religious people would agree with that condemnation; they would agree with that assessment.

There are in our own culture today moral voices crying out against the immorality of our times, against the abuses of our times, against the massive corruptions - & people who live those corrupt lives wanting to have all equal rights with everybody else, including things like homosexual marriage & tolerance for every imaginable kind of iniquity.

Moral people & religious people, legalistic people cry out against that, & they would say absolutely that’s wrong & GOD will judge that.

So, those kind of moral people would agree with the assessment that Paul gives on the judgment of GOD that is going to fall & continually falls on a pagan, corrupt, immoral world.

But those same religious people, those same legalistic people, those same outwardly moral people, feel they will be exempt from that judgment. ****

4.] That somehow, they’re going to escape the cycle of wrath, & the HOLY SPIRIT will not let them get away with that.

Romans 2, the attention is turned to the moral people who agree with the judgment in chapter 1.

“Therefore you have no excuse” v.1 - “every one of you who passes judgment.”

You people who would say, “I agree with Romans 1. I agree GOD is going to judge & punish these people who are living in these openly sinful ways.

I agree because I’m religious, & moral, & because I’m a righteous person & I try to do what’s right, I agree with that; but I’m exempt from that.”

Really??

Every one of you who passes judgment, because when you pass judgment, you condemn yourself, for you practice the same things. ****

Who are you kidding?

You may not practice them overtly. You may not make demands they be allowed & tolerated in public, but secretly & privately, as a legalist, >> you’ve just pushed those things down.

They’re a part of your thought life.

They’re a part of your hidden, secret life.

And since you know they’re wrong, you know enough of the law of GOD to know those things are wrong

you then become responsible for what you know,

when you do them, even if you do them secretly, in your heart - you condemn yourself by the very knowledge you have that they are wrong.

You don’t get off the hook at all.

You know the truth, & you know the judgment of GOD that falls on those who violate HIS law, & you do the same things secretly & privately.

“Do you think” v.3, then – “that when you pass judgment on those who practice such things & do the same yourself, that you’re going to escape the judgment of GOD?”

You’re not; you’re not.

5.] Moral people - like the Jews of Paul’s day & others - who would agree with the assessment & judgment, the wrath that comes on those who practice the things in CH1, feel exempt from judgment because they’re good people on the outside - moral people, religious people - & they think they’ve escaped this judgment.

In fact, they rise up & become very self-exalting & self-justifying, sitting in judgment on everybody else.

Truth of the matter is, they’re in deep trouble.

That’s why v.1 begins, “You have no excuse.”

If you know enough to condemn these sins, then you know enough to be condemned by practicing them.

So, you have no excuse, really, for two things. One, you know the law of GOD. Two, you have experienced the goodness of GOD.

v.4: “Do you think lightly of the riches of His kindness, & tolerance & patience, not knowing the kindness of GOD leads you to repentance?

But because of your stubbornness & unrepentant heart, you’re storing up wrath for yourself in the day of wrath & revelation of the righteous judgment of GOD.”

6.] Two things make the religious, moral, self-righteous, good sinner culpable:

one, you know the law of GOD, & two, you’ve experienced the goodness of GOD.

6a] And especially in the case of Israel. They knew the law of GOD; they were given the law of GOD.

Paul will express that later on in CH3, & again in CH 9, & again in CH10: that you received the law, & covenants, & the promises & the Messiah; you are without excuse.

If the nations have the law of GOD written in their hearts, you have the law of GOD written by the HOLY SPIRIT on documents by the OT writers.

6b] If the rest of the world has experienced the goodness of GOD in common grace, you have received the greater goodness of GOD by being a covenant people.

You don’t escape the judgment. You’re going to be held to an even higher standard, because you have a greater knowledge of the truth, & because you have a greater experience of the goodness of GOD.

You pass judgment on others, huh?

You therefore are condemning yourself, by your knowledge of the law & by your greater experience of the goodness of GOD.

6c] Anyone who sits in the seat of moral judgment proves s/he is inexcusable if s/he can condemn other people, since s/he knows the standard & in reality, does the same thing, if in a secret, hidden fashion.

No way to escape, then, because you know the law. No way to escape, because you’ve been exposed to the greater goodness.

What did Israel need?

They needed a day of repentance. They needed a national day of repentance, like the one back in Nehemiah, CH9.

Go back to the book of Nehemiah, a few books left of Psalms - & the people had come back from captivity, the Word of GOD had been recovered & restored, & read to them & explained to them, & they responded to it.

Chapter 8 tells about the finding of the book of the law, the reading of the book of the law. The people understood it as it was explained to them. They were heartbroken over the fact that they had ignored the law of GOD, that they had rejected the law of GOD, that they had disobeyed the law of GOD.

So in Nehemiah 9:1, they assembled with fasting & sackcloth & dirt on them, that was a way to express humiliation. They separated themselves from foreigners. They stood & confessed their sins & the iniquities of their fathers. They stood in their place & read from the book of the law of the LORD their GOD for a fourth of the day; for another fourth, they confessed & worshiped the LORD their GOD. It was a long day of penitence.

And the worship is basically given to us, starting in v.5: “Arise, bless the LORD your GOD forever & ever. O may YOUR glorious name be blessed & exalted above all blessing & praise.” They blessed the LORD, & what do they bless HIM for? HIS amazing care of the nation, HIS goodness, HIS kindness & HIS mercy. And keep in mind, this was a recalcitrant, this was a rebellious, this was an impenitent, this was an idolatrous people, this nation Israel; & yet, HE continued to be good to them.

“You made the heavens, the heaven of heavens, the earth, all that is in them, the seas, all that is in them. YOU give life to all of them, & the heavenly host bows down before YOU. YOU are LORD GOD. YOU chose Abraham, YOU brought him out from Ur of the Chaldees, gave him the name Abraham, found his heart faithful before YOU, made a covenant with him. Gave him the land of the Canaanite, Hittite, Amorite, Perizzite, Jebusite & Girgashite, & gave it to his descendants - the promised land.

“And YOU have fulfilled YOUR promise, for YOU’re righteous. YOU saw the affliction of our fathers in Egypt; heard their cry by the Red Sea. YOU performed signs & wonders against Pharaoh” & the history goes on. YOU divided the seal.” YOU led with a pillar of cloud by day, pillar of fire by night.” YOU came down from Mount Sinai, & gave just ordinances & true laws, good statutes & commandments.

“YOU made known to them YOUR holy Sabbath, laid down for them commandments, statutes & laws, provided bread from heaven for them for their hunger & water from a rock; & told them to enter in order to possess the land which YOU swore to them.” Just a quick, brief history of GOD’s goodness to Israel. But, v.6: “They, our fathers, acted arrogantly; became stubborn, wouldn’t listen to YOUR commandments. Refused to listen, didn’t remember YOUR wondrous deeds which YOU had performed among us.

7.] “Became stubborn, appointed a leader to return to their slavery in Egypt.”

Listen to this: “But YOU are a GOD of forgiveness, gracious & compassionate, slow to anger & abounding in lovingkindness.”

There’s that word goodness, kindness.

YOU have so much kindness, so much mercy, so generous in YOUR goodness, & “YOU did not forsake them, even when they made a molten calf...YOU were compassionate toward them” - in v.19.

v.20: “YOU gave YOUR good Spirit to instruct them.”

“For 40 years” - v.21, “YOU provided for them in the wilderness; & they were not in want.”

Then in v.22: “YOU gave them kingdoms & peoples & allotted to them as a boundary. They took possession of the land of Sihon the king of Heshbon, & the land of Og the king of Bashan” on the way to taking the land of Canaan. “YOU made their sons numerous as the stars of heaven, YOU brought them into the land.”

This is the history of GOD’s goodness to a disobedient, sinful, idolatrous Israel. “YOU blessed the land” - v.25, “with vineyards & olive groves & fruit trees & abundance.

And they ate & were filled & grew fat; & reveled in YOUR great goodness. They became disobedient, rebelled against YOU, cast YOUR law behind their backs.

Killed YOUR prophets; committed great blasphemies.”

That’s how they responded to GOD’s goodness, but HE kept being good to them.

7a] v.31: “In YOUR compassion YOU didn’t make an end to them or forsake them, for YOU’re a gracious & compassionate GOD.”

v.5: “With YOUR great goodness which YOU gave them, with the broad & rich land which YOU set before them, they didn’t serve YOU, they didn’t turn from their evil deeds.”

This is the story of a rebellious, sinful, impenitent, disobedient people in the face of constant goodness.

It was 700 years of GOD’s goodness to a rebellious, idolatrous northern kingdom before GOD hauled them off in judgment.

It was 800 years for the southern kingdom of Judah.

Israel needed another moment like that moment in Nehemiah; a moment when the people take a look at their history, a look at their condition, & repent, & be led, as v.4 puts it - by the goodness of GOD to repentance.

7b] What caused the repentance at the great revival in Nehemiah 8 & 9?

What caused it was, a remembering of the goodness of the LORD led them to repentance.

They had GOD’s Word, the revelation written, not just written in their hearts like the Gentile nations.

They had GOD’s goodness in vast measure, GOD’s covenant protection & provision.

They abused the goodness of GOD.

They trampled on HIS mercy, spurned HIS kindness, mocked HIS love, rejected HIS grace - as people continue to do, in this nation, in the western world.

Exposed to Christianity & all its fullness, & all its richness, this society in which we live abuses GOD’s tolerance & goodness, tramples on HIS mercy, spurns HIS goodness, mocks HIS love, rejects HIS grace, just like people of the past.

8.] In fact, Matthew Henry said, “There is in every willful sin a contempt for the goodness of GOD.”

The goodness of GOD is not to be thought of lightly.

Now, let’s go to v.4; that’s where our focus is.

�� “Do you think lightly of the riches of HIS goodness?”

kataphroneō, to think lightly; to despise, the verb means, to treat with contempt, to belittle, to scorn, to mock, to repudiate.

Do you underestimate the true value of GOD’s kindness?

This is the severest of all sins, mercy despised, & the basic attitude of society today is GOD is harsh.****

People look at Haiti, a quarter of a million people killed.

People look at Pakistan, or some other place where monsoonal rains & floods obliterate 100s & 1000s of people.

They look at Indonesia, where another quarter of a million people died in the tsunami, & they say, “How can GOD allow this? What kind of GOD is GOD?”

They see the judgment of GOD from time to time, the cataclysmic judgment of GOD from time to time, & they conclude that this must mean that GOD is harsh, & without mercy & without kindness.

Nothing could be further from the truth.****

8a] The truth is that all the sinners who perish in those disasters should have perished long before, right?

The wages of sin is what? Death.

The fact that they lived to that event is an extension of mercy.

Here in this verse, we are reminded not to think lightly, not to despise, not to belittle the riches, the fullness, the richness of goodness, kindness, tolerance & patience.

Kindness, chrēstotēs, the positive, divine generosity.

Tolerance, anochē, the word for a truce, that’s the negative word; the absence of hostility. That’s what that means. GOD holds back HIS anger, & GOD grants blessing. And the third word is the word

Longsuffering, makrothumia, patience with people.

HE is benevolent for a long time. HE holds back HIS hostility for a long time.

HE has the power to bless & the power to avenge, & HE blesses & HE holds back vengeance.

Romans 9:22 says, “HE endures with patience vessels fit for destruction.”

If all GOD was was justice, HE would have long ago taken HIS hand & wiped out the world, as HE once did in the Flood.

But not before patience for 100s of years, & 120 years of a preacher of righteousness named Noah warning people about their sins.

GOD is by nature good, kind, giving benefits to sinners.

8b] This is called common grace; makes the sun, the rain to fall on the just & the unjust.

HE has tolerance, which means HE withholds the justice that sinners deserve, & HE does these both for a long period of time.

In Nehemiah 9:17, it puts it this way: HE is “slow to anger & abounding in lovingkindness.”

That’s the negative, slow to anger; & the positive, abounding in lovingkindness; what these first two words convey: HE is good to men.

JESUS said in Matthew 19, “There’s only one good, & that is GOD.”

I remember the first time I was on the Larry King Show, it was right after 9-11, & he said to me.

“Why did GOD let this happen? What’s the lesson here?”

And in our conversation, both on the air & off the air, I said, “The lesson here is that we’re all sinners & the wages of sin is death, & we all deserve to die; & we don’t know when it’s going to happen, but you better be ready.”

8c] Sinners live, & sinners prosper, & sinners enjoy life, & they are blessed in life with temporal blessings, earthly blessings, all the joys of life.

But we all live past the point of justice.

The wages of sin is death; we should all be dead after one sin.

GOD has every reason to wipe us out, every reason to wipe out the whole human race.

But His goodness & His forbearance cause Him to bring positive blessings into the lives of sinners & to withhold judgment.

A.W. Pink wrote: “How wondrous GOD’s patience is with the world. On every side people are sinning with a high hand. The divine law is trampled underfoot & GOD Himself openly despised. It is truly amazing that He doesn’t instantly strike dead those who so brazenly defy Him. Why does He not suddenly cut off the haughty infidel & blatant blasphemer, as He did Ananias & Sapphira? Why does He not cause the earth to open & devour the persecutors of His people, so that like Dothan & Abiram, they shall go down alive into the pit?

“And what about apostate CHRISTendom, where every possible form of sin is now tolerated & practiced undercover of the holy name of CHRIST? Why does not the righteous wrath of heaven make an end of such abominations? Only one answer is possible:” says Pink. “Because GOD bears with ‘much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction.’” Romans 9:22. He’s so very patient; so very patient. Why is He patient? Back to verse 4: in order to lead you to repentance, to turn from sin.

To repent, to believe the gospel, to come to CHRIST for forgiveness; to see that GOD is by nature a Savior because of His goodness, because He withholds just judgment. But men despise GOD’s goodness; they abuse His kindness. Sinners have a kind of vague, undefined hope of impunity. They just think they’re going to be okay. The kind of feeling that, “Aw, this can’t happen to me. I’m basically a good person.” They sort of openly claim exemption from judgment.

Nothing could be further from the truth. The Jews took GOD’s goodness for granted. People take it for granted today, the truth which they know in the Scripture, in those places where the Scripture has gone. They take love, & friendship, & beauty, & warmth, & emotions, & food, & drink, & clothing, & nature, & children & pleasure for granted. They live in mercy. They live in the kindness of GOD, blessing them & withholding judgment.

They live there so long & so comfortably that they get used to grace & think they deserve it, & what they don’t see is what’s in verse 5: that as long as they continue in a stubborn, unrepentant way, there’s an accumulation of wrath going on, “storing up until the day of wrath & the revelation of the righteous judgment of GOD.” All their sin is accumulating in the books. We will be judged out of the books for every single sin; no sin will be left out.

For people to rise up & say GOD is unjust because there was an earthquake, GOD is unjust because there was a tsunami, GOD is unjust because somebody got cancer, GOD is unjust because people die in terrorist acts, is an incredible turnaround from the truth that GOD is so good & merciful that He withholds judgment, that He pours out mercy, though it is undeserved.

William Gurnall wrote in 1660, “When I consider how the goodness of GOD is abused by the greatest part of mankind, I cannot but be of his mind that said, The greatest miracle in the world is GOD’s patience & bounty to an ungrateful world.” People look at the OT & say, “Ah, what a brutal GOD. He turned Lot’s wife into a pillar of salt. He bids Abraham to offer his son on an altar as a sacrifice. He sends snakes to bite disobedient Israelites.

“He causes the ground to swallow up certain people. He sends His servant Elijah to bring down fire from heaven & wipe out a hundred soldiers, & He has bears come out of the woods & shred young men who spoke evil of the prophet Elisha. He seems to choose favorites, Jacob over Esau. He hardens Pharaoh’s heart, sends plagues on Egyptians. He commands the extermination of every man, woman & child among the Canaanites. What kind of a GOD is this?”

One writer said, “Perhaps now that the Bible is written in a language” - the New English Bible when it came out – “all can understand, the OT will be seen for what it is: an obscene chronicle of man’s cruelty to man, or worse, His cruelty to woman, & of man’s selfishness & cupidity, backed up by his appeal to his GOD - a horror story if ever there was one. It is hoped that it will at last be proscribed as totally inappropriate to the ethical instruction of school children.” Wow.

LORD Platt, writing in the London Times, criticizing the OT & the GOD of the OT. The fact that that man lived another day was evidence of the goodness of GOD. Sinners get used to goodness. They become comfortable with goodness. They become comfortable with kindness & grace. And all they can see is something that appears to be an unjust act - way too severe, almost whimsical, almost arbitrary.

The reason we feel GOD is cruel or unjust is because we don’t understand how sinful we are, & because we’re unwilling to come to the provision He has made to rescue us from His justice & to bring us into eternal bliss, namely the grace of the gospel of CHRIST & the cross. Sin should produce death, instantaneous death. GOD said to Adam, “In the day you eat, you die.” The OT, there were at least thirty specific sins, including disobedience to parents, that were basically worthy of capital punishment.

GOD doesn’t owe us life. Any sin brings death, & death can come at any moment. GOD gives life freely to man for the purpose of showing His kindness in the face of man’s cosmic treason, & He has every right at any point to take life back from any sinner in an act of just punishment. GOD is so kind & so merciful, however, that He has sent His Son into the world to take the punishment for all who will repent & come to Him. He is patient, but He has provided more than just patience: He has provided a sacrifice in our place.

We’re so used to mercy, so used to sinning & getting away with it, so used to iniquities without instant punishment, so accustom to abusing grace & goodness & kindness, that when justice does appear, we think it’s injustice. We’re offended if GOD is not merciful, because we don’t understand what we deserve. There are times when His mercy runs out. “My Spirit will not always strive with man.” He said, “I’m not going to do this forever,” & He brought the flood.

We would never tolerate the insubordination that He tolerates. We would never tolerate the rebellion from subordinates to us that He tolerates. He is far more merciful than we are, & sinners tread on His mercy & tread on His kindness. Turn in your Bible, for a moment, to Luke 13, & we’ll wrap up in this passage, just briefly, because it’s an appropriate one. If you were living in Jerusalem at the time of our LORD, you probably would have known about these two events; they would have been in the Jerusalem Gazette, if there was one.

Certainly, they were word-of-mouth spread around town. Verse 1 of Luke 13: “On the same occasion” - as the prior passage – “there were some present who reported to Him” - some people in the crowd gave this report to JESUS that some Galileans had their blood spilt by Pilate & mixed with their sacrifices. Pretty scene - easy scene to construct; this is cryptic language, but we get the picture. Galileans, Jews from the north, from Galilee, had come to Jerusalem.

There was every day a morning sacrifice, an evening sacrifice, & so they went in to offer sacrifices, either in the morning or the evening. They were worshipers, these were good devout Jews, to whatever extent you could assert their devotion by their willingness & their eagerness to offer sacrifices. So, they go to the temple, they’re in there, they’re offering sacrifices to GOD, acts of worship, acts of obedience, ostensibly.

And Pilate’s soldiers come in & slice them up to death, & their blood is mingled with the blood of the sacrifice. How could this happen? This is a disaster that has to be explained. “JESUS said to them” - who told Him the story - “Do you suppose that these Galileans were greater sinners than all other Galileans because they suffered this fate?” Is that the human answer to this? These people died because they’re worse than everybody else?

The people in Indonesia that died were worse than the people who didn’t die? The people in Haiti who died, worse than the people who didn’t die? The people in the Twin Towers that died, worse than the people who survived? Is that what we’re saying here, the people who are alive are a lot better than the people who are dead? The people who don’t get cancer & die are better than the people who do get cancer & die? Is that what this is about? No. No.

Verse 3: “I tell you no” – no. What’s the message? “Unless you repent, you’ll all likewise perish.” Wow. What He says is, you’re going to die too, & you don’t know when. You better repent; you better repent. You’re going to die the same sad death, with the same sad & eternal results if you don’t repent. You’re living on borrowed time.

You’re living under mercy - extended kindness & goodness from an infinitely holy GOD – who, while on the one hand He cannot tolerate sin, on the other hand, tolerates sinners, in order that He might lead them to repentance by His kindness, His goodness. Another event had happened in town; JESUS referred to it. Eighteen people - verse 4 - had been killed when a tower down in Siloam fell. Siloam was a water source, & history tells us the Romans were building some kind of an aqueduct.

And they had built a scaffolding to hold their construction, hold the aqueduct, & it had collapsed, & you have eighteen innocent bystanders. So, the first account you have eighteen worshipers, & the next one you have eighteen innocent bystanders, & they’re killed on the spot. “Do you suppose” - verse 4 says – “that they were killed because they were worse than all the men who live in Jerusalem?” Were they worse than the people who didn’t get crushed by the collapsing tower?

“I tell you, no” - verse 5 - “unless you repent, you’ll all likewise perish.” Whenever there is a disaster, whenever there is a death, whether it’s an individual one or some kind of collective one - whether it’s a person that dies because of an illness or an accident, or whether it’s a community that perishes under a terrorist act, or whether it’s a portion of a nation that perishes under a horrendous disaster - the message is always the same: you’re going to die. You better repent.

You don’t know when, & it is the goodness of GOD under which you live, & the kindness of GOD under which you currently survive, that is intended to lead you to repentance. And don’t get caught with a hard & impenitent heart. Go back to chapter 2 verse 5: “Because of your stubbornness” – sklērotēs, from which we get arterial sclerosis or sclerosis of the liver; hardening of the arteries, hardening of the liver.

If you had a sclerosis of the heart - an unrepentant, unconverted heart - what’s happening is, you’re going to die, & you’re simply storing up wrath for yourself until the day that wrath explodes in the righteous judgment of GOD. So, the self-righteous, moral man, who would say, “Wow, I agree with the assessment of the pagan world in chapter 1,” better examine his own life, because if you know enough to sit in judgment on other people & their violation of GOD’s standards, then you know that you do the same thing & you condemn yourself.

Furthermore, all sinners live under some degree of the goodness of GOD. Those of you who certainly are Jews, or those of you who have been exposed to the church & been benefitted & blessed by being around believers, & the spilling of the blessing that comes on them has come also on you, you have experienced even a greater measure of the goodness of GOD. And the purpose of all of that is to lead you to repentance, but if you do not repent & you continue in a hard-hearted, impenitent fashion, you are simply accumulating wrath.

GOD may not bring that wrath soon, but He will bring that wrath finally; finally. So, sinners must face the truth, that if the goodness of GOD toward you is not leading you to repentance, then drop by drop, sin by sin, you’re filling up the reservoir of GOD’s patience, until someday the dam breaks & you drown in the flood of your own sin. There is an alternative to that. You come to CHRIST, you come to the cross, you embrace the Savior who died, GOD offers forgiveness of sin, wipes the slate clean, remembers your sins no more.

Listen to this, Psalm 86:5: “For You, LORD, are good, & ready to forgive, And abundant in lovingkindness to all who call upon You.” That’s the alternative: call upon the LORD. Ask Him to forgive you through the provision of CHRIST on Your behalf at the cross. Father, we thank You that You have by grace extended to us time to repent, time to believe, time to embrace our Savior. I pray, LORD, that this day, this very hour, this morning, there will be an awakening in the heart of those who have been hard & impenitent, & who have abused Your goodness, despised Your kindness.

Maybe even criticized You, blasphemed You, mocked Your name. May they see with spiritual eyes the reality, that the fact that any sinner survives is because of Your mercy, Your goodness, Your kindness. And it’s intended to show us that You by nature are a saving GOD, a gracious, merciful, loving, tender-hearted, compassionate, kind Redeemer, & that that salvation, that forgiveness which You offer & provided for us through the sacrifice of CHRIST is available to all who call on Your name.

As the psalmist said, “You are good & ready to forgive,” & ready to forgive all who call upon You. May sinners do that even now, we pray, in Your Son’s name. Amen.

First Reading

Hebrews 2:5-12

The one who sanctifies and the ones who are sanctified are of the same stock

God did not appoint angels to be rulers of the world to come, and that world is what we are talking about. Somewhere there is a passage that shows us this. It runs: What is man that you should spare a thought for him, the son of man that you should care for him? For a short while you made him lower than the angels; you crowned him with glory and splendour. You have put him in command of everything. Well then, if he has put him in command of everything, he has left nothing which is not under his command. At present, it is true, we are not able to see thateverything has been put under his command, but we do see in Jesus one who was for a short while made lower than the angels and is now crowned with glory and splendour because he submitted to death; by God’s grace he had to experience death for all mankind.

As it was his purpose to bring a great many of his sons into glory, it was appropriate that God, for whom everything exists and through whom everything exists, should make perfect, through suffering, the leader who would take them to their salvation. For the one who sanctifies, and the ones who are sanctified, are of the same stock; that is why he openly calls them brothers in the text: I shall announce your name to my brothers, praise you in full assembly.

Mark 1:21-28

Unlike the scribes, he taught them with authority

Jesus and his disciples went as far as Capernaum, and as soon as the sabbath came he went to the synagogue and began to teach. And his teaching made a deep impression on them because, unlike the scribes, he taught them with authority.

In their synagogue just then there was a man possessed by an unclean spirit and it shouted, ‘What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are: the Holy One of God.’ But Jesus said sharply, ‘Be quiet! Come out of him!’ And the unclean spirit threw the man into convulsions and with a loud cry went out of him. The people were so astonished that they started asking each other what it all meant. ‘Here is a teaching that is new’ they said ‘and with authority behind it: he gives orders even to unclean spirits and they obey him.’ And his reputation rapidly spread everywhere, through all the surrounding Galilean countryside.

The flash of love is a flame of the Lord himself

Gospel

Matthew 19:3-12

Husband and wife are no longer two, but one body

Some Pharisees approached Jesus, and to test him they said, ‘Is it against the Law for a man to divorce his wife on any pretext whatever?’ He answered, ‘Have you not read that the creator from the beginning made them male and female and that he said: This is why a man must leave father and mother, and cling to his wife, and the two become one body? They are no longer two, therefore, but one body. So then, what God has united, man must not divide.’

They said to him, ‘Then why did Moses command that a writ of dismissal should be given in cases of divorce?’ ‘It was because you were so unteachable’ he said ‘that Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but it was not like this from the beginning. Now I say this to you: the man who divorces his wife – I am not speaking of fornication – and marries another, is guilty of adultery.’

The disciples said to him, ‘If that is how things are between husband and wife, it is not advisable to marry.’ But he replied, ‘It is not everyone who can accept what I have said, but only those to whom it is granted. There are eunuchs born that way from their mother’s womb, there are eunuchs made so by men and there are eunuchs who have made themselves that way for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Let anyone accept this who can.’

• 30 years ago in white supremacy, we had a strategy called leaderless resistance. The concept was: stop shaving our heads, stop getting tattoos and instead try to blend in as much as possible. It was a really concerted effort to try and tone down the rhetoric and make it a little more palatable to the mainstream. And it certainly has penetrated the mainstream now. We’re seeing people who were supportive of our cause back then also supportive of Donald Trump’s cause, certainly with the recent cabinet appointments. – Christian Picciolini • A cool tattoo design is any drawing that would also look good saggy. – Demetri Martin • A good tattoo always has a story that runs deeper than the skin, and Inked tells that story. – Tara Dakides • A label is a soul-tattoo that is ingrained deep in our hearts, so much so that it determines how we see ourselves, And how we see ourselves determines how we live… A destructive label leads to a destructive life. There is a soul thief, a dark enemy, who wants to nail ruinous labels to your heart so that he can steal your life. Jesus wants to give you life giving labels that release your potential for the good of the world. – Derwin L. Gray • A lot of my friends have tattoos; I realized that it’s not only just a part of pop culture, but a bit of a map on someone’s body, which says something about people. A part of their life, like an armor or a crest. – Christian Louboutin • A tattoo doesn’t make you look like an individual. – Tony Parsons • A tattoo is a true poetic creation, and is always more than meets the eye. As a tattoo is grounded on living skin, so its essence emotes a poignancy unique to the mortal human condition. – V.

It just became like a thing. – Billy Corgan • As soon as I saw tattoos as a way to tell your story, I thought, ‘Oh my gosh, I totally get it.’ So I got my first tattoo a couple of years ago, and it’s the word ‘hope’ on my left arm. It has a couple of dots at the end for each of my kids. – Kristian Bush • As soon as you tell me to do one thing, I do the opposite. As soon as someone tells me not to get any more tattoos, I have this intense fire burning inside me to cover myself with them. I don’t care if it’s self-destructive. I just have that need to rebel. – Megan Fox • At the end of the day, the Lord knows I have no malice in my heart. But I’ve got tattoos, and I still fornicate. – Pharrell Williams

Leave a good-looking tattoo. – Ed Westwick • Bikers, in general, have just been so attractive to people. Photographers would follow them because there’s this weird warrior gravitas that comes with it.

But the more tattoos that I did, the more I realized what artistic career potential tattooing had and I enjoyed it. – William Webb • Having the tattoo itself is not really for the end result for me. I like having them done. – Lena Headey • He and the girl had almost nothing to say to each other. One thing he did say was, ‘I ain’t got any tattoo on my back.’ ‘What you got on it?’ the girl said. ‘My shirt,’ Parker said. ‘Haw.’ ‘Haw, haw,’ the girl said politely. – Flannery O’Connor • He said, I’m better off without her, until I showed him my tattoo. – Tom Waits • I always look for a woman who has a tattoo. I see a woman with a tattoo, and I’m thinking, okay, here’s a gal who’s capable of making a decision she’ll regret in the future. – Richard Jeni • I always say your body is the temple of your spirit, why not decorate it? My kids say, no, no, your body is the temple of your spirit, keep it clean. I’m covered in tattoos and I get a tattoo every time I write a book. I get the tattoo from the book. – Bill Ayers • I am concerned about the environment. I love to wear black. I think government is best when it stays out of people’s lives and business as much as possible. I love punk rock. I believe in a strong national defense. I have a tattoo. I believe government should always be efficient and accountable. I have lots of gay friends. And yes, I am a Republican. – Meghan McCain • I am wearing a gray shirt, blue jeans, black shoes–new clothes, but beneath them, my Dauntless tattoos. It is impossible to erase my choices. Especially these. – Veronica Roth • I basically – I don’t like tattoos, unless you’re a firefighter who has a tattoo that has to do with that or a military guy. That’s – those are people who should have tattoos. – Denis Leary • I believe tattoos are a lifestyle not a fashion trend. – Machine Gun Kelly • I chose a sunflower because when darkness descends they close up to regenerate. But I really wish I’d never had the tattoo in the first place. Clean, clear skin is always better. – Halle Berry • I collect Wonder Woman – from comics to paraphernalia, and I even have a tattoo of her on my back. I’m a huge Wonder Woman fan! – Lights • I did a piece where I was talking about torture at Abu Ghraib, and I embroidered my hand with the image of the hooded Abu Ghraib prisoners who’d been tortured using a needle and thread. I know that meeting a Holocaust survivor when I was eight and seeing the tattoo on her arm from her time in the camps influenced my piece about Abu Ghraib. – Jill Soloway • I do have 14 tattoos, but I also do come home every single night and watch reality TV with my cat. – Lea Michele • I do have a few little tattoos, but they were mostly done to cover scars because I’m so fair. – Dolly Parton • I don’t care what color your hair is, if you’re pale or tan, if you have makeup on or just woke up all I care about is that when I look at you, you always look back and see me. You’re beautiful inside and out and if you wanted to tattoo all that pretty white skin from head to toe I would be honored to put it there for you but if not I’ll take you all smooth and milky white any chance I get. – Jay Crownover • I don’t have any tattoos – I live vicariously through my sister, Langley, who has many. If I can’t stick to one ensemble, I don’t think I could stick to one tattoo. – Dree Hemingway • I don’t have any tattoos but I’ve thought about getting Ernie, from Bert and Ernie, on my earlobe. He made a big impression on me as a kid. And I have pretty big earlobes. – J Mascis • I don’t think there are any songs that I’ve written in the past that I now disagree. It’s kind of like tattoos; I would never regret a tattoo, because it was how I felt at that time in my life. I don’t think I’ve ever said anything that I would take back. So far, so good! I would probably change the music, or change how I sing it, maybe do it a little bit cooler, or a bit more grown-up. But I don’t think that there are any lyrics that I regret. – Emeli Sande • I dropped my pants in a tattoo parlor in Amsterdam. I woke up in a waterbed with this funky-looking dragon with a blue tongue on my hip. I realized I made a mistake, so a few months later I got a cross to cover it. When my pants hang low, it looks like I’m wearing a dagger! – Angelina Jolie • I feel like the last tattoo you got is usually your favorite. – Nico Tortorella • I felt bad about myself because certain people were relentlessly attacking me and my reputation. My mom kept saying ‘Let it go, Lauren, It doesn’t matter’ … [I] realized I had to stop worrying about what other people think. The next day I got a tattoo on my lower back that says ‘sticks and stones’, because they may break my bones, but words will never hurt me. – Lauren Conrad • I got a little tattoo on my face, I’ll never be able to work another real job so I consider that to be kinda forcing myself to stick to music. – Benji Madden • I got more than a thing for you, tattoo wit a ink for you right over my heart girl, I’ll do the unthinkable. – Drake • I got my tattoo a year before the Olympic trials, so I kind of used it as motivation to make the Olympic team the following year. I look at it every time I dive and it’s kind of a little fun thing. – Tera Van Beilen • I got to actually tattoo one of the members of The Misfits. The very first tattoo I ever did was this Misfits skull. – Kat Von D • I had six silly tattoos done when I was young and I bitterly regret them. I’ve thought about laser surgery, but that leaves a scar, so I’m just leaving them. – Andre Benjamin • I have a handful of tattoos that I really want to put on people that I can’t find anyone to let me give them to. – Jemima Kirke • I have a maple leaf tattoo over my heart, quite literally, and my two favorite things on Earth are being in Canada and making movies. – Jay Baruchel • I have a swastika tattoo on my arm, but it’s just because I like right-hand turns. – Kyle Dunnigan • I have a tattoo on my foot that says ‘it’s a whale’ in Japanese, because Japanese people kill whales. My stuffed whale was like most children’s teddy bear. I took it with me everywhere. I slept with it. I couldn’t live without my whale. – Skylar Grey • I have Bob Dylan lyrics on my ribs. I’m a diehard Dylan fan, and my dad and I joke that if I ever met him, I’d have him sign his name right under my tattoo and then I’d run to the parlor to get his signature tattooed. – Carly Chaikin • I have no love for myself as a human being, but I have immense pride in the music I make, and I believe it has an important place. Others do, too, and the thousands of people with Morrissey tattoos certainly proves something. – Steven Morrissey • I have no real tattoos. I wear my bruises and tons of scars as my tattoos. – Kellan Lutz • I have no tattoos that I regret – I have had some that I have had changed according to how my life was. – Nas • I have no tattoos. There’s nothing I’ve even been that into to get a tattoo of it. – Eli Roth • I have this huge lion tattoo embossed on my arm. I was a little worried as to how we would cover it up. But my makeup man covered the tattoo with makeup. It took close to two hours. – Sanjay Dutt • I haven’t had a drink in thirteen years, but occasionally I’m tempted to have one beer. The problem is that if I have that one beer, I wake up in Tijuana four days later with a tattoo and a sore ass. – Craig Ferguson • I just feel like this skin is mine. It’s aging every day and the tattoos are aging with me. So, I’m going to be an old piece of paper one day with a lot of work on it. – Maria Dahvana Headley • I know people say ‘what about when you’re old and you’re covered in tattoos?’ – so what. Anyway, in time to come everyone will have them and it will be all the trend, won’t it? ‘Cuz you don’t know how the times are gonna change. – Cher Lloyd • I like the bad-boy types. Generally the guy I’m attracted to is the guy in the club with all the tattoos and nail polish. He’s usually the lead singer in a punk band and plays guitar. But my serious boyfriends are relatively clean-cut, nice guys. So it’s strange. – Megan Fox • I love math. I have little secret number tattoos everywhere. I design them. – Pauley Perrette • I love tattoos. And mine symbolise who I really am. I have a Samurai on my left arm. At a subconscious level, I connect to this warrior and model myself on his discipline, skills and honour. There is also a tribal tattoo and a Chinese symbol of faith. I have seen a lot of people getting tattoos just because it’s a trend. – Virat Kohli • I love Tinkerbell because she’s feisty and about it. She’s got swag! She’s going to do what she wants to do. I even have a Tinkerbell tattoo, and she is wearing Adidas flip-flops! – Kidada Jones • I love to make music, I love to get tattoos…That’s just what I love. If I wasn’t getting paid I’d still do it. – Kevin Gates • I need to know you believe me when I say I love you. That is all.” “I believe everything you say,” Tessa said with a smile, her hands creeping doen from his waist to his weapons belt. Her fingers closed on the hilt of the dagger, and she yanked it from the belt, smiling as he looked down at her in surprise. “After all,” she said, “you weren’t lying about the tattoo of the dragon of Wales, were you? – Cassandra Clare • I never had any desire to get a tattoo. If I was ever going to get one, I would get a plain anchor with a rope around it, the most unimaginative possible tattoo, like Popeye had. – John Waters • I never thought about getting any tattoos removed. – Henry Rollins • I never watched those Spice Girls. I didn’t enjoy that at all. So I didn’t know Victoria Beckham well. But she came out with this pretty boy, got married, and the boy got more tattoos and more tattoos. And then I met her a few times, and we started work, and something happened. You know, she wanted it. She loves what she’s doing. – Manolo Blahnik • I probably have the crappiest tattoo — not only in country music — but maybe the world. – Blake Shelton • I really think if you have a tattoo you have to wonder about what kind of future you have ahead of you. As an employer, I wouldn’t employ someone with tattoos as I would wonder what customers would think about them. For me, tattoos are just a way for people to find attention who haven’t found another way in their life to achieve it by conventional means. – Katie Hopkins • I removed the window [tattoo] because, while I used to spend all my time looking out through windows wishing to be outside, I now live there all the time. – Angelina Jolie • I sort of tend to equate tattoos with prisoners, punks or people with a high level of self-confidence. I don’t necessarily have a covered-in-tattoos personality. – Lena Dunham • I think I have enough tattoos for now. If I get any others, I’ll probably do my kids initials. – Niki Taylor • I think if you’re gonna get a tattoo, just get one: the words, ‘I’m dumb.’ That’s it. That way in 10 years, when you go, ‘Why did I get this?,’ you can be like, ‘Oh, I’m dumb!’ – Daniel Tosh • I think when tattoos are new and colorful, they look bad. But they look better the older and more bleached out they become. – Urs Fischer • I try to really capitalize off of what other rappers really can’t do. There are opportunities that rappers I love simply can’t get, because… you know… I don’t have the tattoos; I have a different image. – Drake • I used to have a sister, but I never got to meet her because she died after two days, I think. So if I got a tattoo, it would probably have to be something to do with my sister. – Chloe Grace Moretz • I want to get married but I look at husbands the same way I look at tattoos. I want one, but I can’t decide what I want, and I don’t want to be stuck with something I’d grow to hate and have surgically removed. – Margaret Cho • I wanted alot of tattoos but I never thought I was gonna be this rediculous. – Synyster Gates • I was a prefect at school, I never had a tattoo, got a detention or pierced my ears more than once. – Amanda Holden • I was just a big fan of tattoos always growing up, and I wanted something cool that symbolizes what I’ve been through in my life, and everything on my chest and my back is like a collage. – Kevin Durant • I went to this tattoo parlor in the East Village and I got an outline of a violin on my lower back. They call them tramp stamps now. – Katherine Moennig • If the body is a temple, then tattoos are its stained glass windows. – Sylvia Plath • I’ll never have a tattoo – I just don’t like them, and when you’re old they can look a disaster. As for piercings, I don’t like them on men. – Rafael Nadal • I’ll tell you this, lad: A tattoo says more of a fellow looking at it than it can do of the man who’s got it on his back. – Sarah Hall • I’m a big fan of zombies, and I have a zombie tattoo on my leg. – Tyler Posey • I’m a tearless clown. If I were to get a tattoo, it would be the two masks, and they would be both smiling. – Andy Samberg • I’m addicted to tattoos. I can’t stop; I love them. – Adrianne Palicki • I’m celebrating my love for you with a pint of beer and a new tattoo – Billy Bragg • I’m definitely in the market for being uncool. There was some funny stuff, like the thing about making sure I show people that I have tattoos and cigarettes so that they know I’m badass. But really, I do have tattoos! And I do smoke cigarettes sometimes, and I can’t change that. But I am not badass, by any means. I do some stuff that’s tongue-in-cheek, and some stuff that’s on the line. And it could be funny, it could be serious, and I never even know myself, because it could be funny that day, and the next day it’s totally embarrassing. – Ryan Adams • I’m not enthused by these rap dudes. All in they videos, posin’ half nude, with all of them tattoos, Til I blacken they eyes and have them lookin’ like raccoons. – Trife Diesel • I’m such a profound believer that timing is everything; I would tattoo that on my arm. – Drew Barrymore • I’m waiting to get old – I think old guys with tattoos look good.- Ryan Gosling • It wasn’t the tattoo that had changed her, had given her repossession of her body. It was her actions, her choices. It was finding the path when it looked like there weren’t any paths to be found. – Melissa Marr • It’s hard to say conversation has become a minimal thing, because look at the rise of mobile communications in the last 10 years. It used to be only the President had a mobile phone. Now everyone on earth, even if they have nothing else, they have a cell phone. It’s a larger anthropological shift in my mind than even the tattoo age in the United States. – Padgett Powell • Its interesting, the things you learn when youre 21. I learned never to get tattoos in the middle of shooting a movie. Because if youre not Angelina Jolie or Megan Fox, they will fire you. – Katee Sackhoff • It’s more likely I’ll dye my hair green, get a bunch of tattoos and go on tour with Amy Winehouse. – Mike Huckabee • I’ve always described parts as tattoos. For actors our tattoos are in the form of films. – Eric Bana • I’ve come to realize that Barack Obama is the tattoo president. Like a big tattoo, it seemed cool when you were young. But later on, that decision doesn’t look so good, and you wonder: what was I thinking? But the worst part is you’re still going to have to explain it to your kids. – Tim Pawlenty • I’ve got nothing against tattoos. I don’t have one myself. If I did, it would be right there next to my watch. It would say “Your wife’s birthday is August 2nd, your anniversary is September 18th, don’t let Ron White drive your car again.” – Jeff Foxworthy • Johnny Depp is like a brother to me. We have matching tattoos on our backs – Charles Baudelaire, the flowers of evil, this giant skeleton thing. It’s kind of a secret. People say to us, ‘Why did you get that?’ And we say, ‘No reason.’ – Marilyn Manson • Just saw a woman with a big tattoo of Jesus on her back. I guess it’s an ixnay on the oggy style-day. – Dana Gould • Man, I’m messed up right now. My best friend is my father? The man I idolized as a kid… whose tattoo is on my arm… And he’s younger than me. Yeah, I don’t think I can handle this. Mindwipe me, somebody… please! Where’s that dragon from Sanctuary? Simi, go get Max. I need him. – Sherrilyn Kenyon • Marriage is supposed to be permanent. It’s like a tattoo that yells at you. – Dov Davidoff • Maybe. Although I doubt most Shadowhunters get a tattoo of Donatello from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on their left shoulder. – Cassandra Clare • Mildred waves Carlos over. ‘Let me look at you.’ She eyes him up and down. ‘I saw you when you walked in. What’s with all those tattoos? Makes you look like a hooligan.’ ‘I suspect I am a hooligan,’ he says to her. ‘Whatever that means. – Simone Elkeles • My body is a journal in a way. It’s like what sailors used to do, where every tattoo meant something, a specific time in your life when you make a mark on yourself, whether you do it yourself with a knife or with a professional tattoo artist. – Johnny Depp • My body is my journal, and my tattoos are my story. – Johnny Depp • My favorite action movie growing up was ‘Supergirl.’ It wasn’t good by any stretch of the imagination, but it was my favorite because I wanted to be her. I have a Supergirl tattoo. – Adrianne Palicki • My favorite tattoo right now is the one on my lower stomach that reads “Almost Famous” because as my career grows I’m still humbled every morning when I look at that tattoo, and I’ll always remember how much it sucked to ALMOST be famous. – Machine Gun Kelly • My first tattoo is a full-on Sailor Jerry situation on my hip – it’s a swallow with big spread wings. When I got it I was 20 on St. Mark’s Place in New York; I just walked in in a frenzy. It’s still there 17 years later and it’s not a terrible thing to look at. – Maria Dahvana Headley • My friends are coming up – they run this tattoo parlour out there and they’re gonna ink me up with the tattoo I’ve been wanting since I was two, right here, upper arm. – Charlie Benante • My ideal guy is my future husband. Not sure who he is yet, but he’s out there. What impresses me in a gay guy? A warm smile, stubble, easy to talk to, thoughtful tattoos, kind eyes, wit, positivity, wanderlust, ambition, and a cute ass. – Tyler Oakley • My mom actually took me to get my first tattoo when I was 15. She highly regrets that choice now, as I have a lot more. – Nico Tortorella • My new one (tattoo) says ‘Never a failure, always a lesson’ and is kind of my mantra to life, just a reminder. My life is just a crazy rollercoaster every day and whenever I read that it just reassures me. – Rihanna • My new tattoo is Jesus being carried by three cherubs. Obviously the cherubs are my boys. At some point they are going to need to look after me. That’s what they’re doing in the picture. It means a lot. – David Beckham • My only advice is don’t tattoo some guy’s name on yourself. Ever. I’ve done it twice. Twice! I’m in the process of getting both removed. It’s the most painful thing imaginable. – Diora Baird • My tattoo is a phoenix. I got the first when I was 16. I hid it for years. – Ashley Scott • My tattoo is of a cannon in Vancouver that I got in a fleeting moment of stupidity maybe 14 years ago. A lot of people have really beautiful tattoos, and I get real tattoo envy. But then other people basically just treat them like bumper stickers for their bodies. – Ryan Reynolds • My tattoo is that I don’t have a tattoo. – Michael J. Fox • My tattoos are like a scrapbook of my life. Sometimes you don’t feel comfortable in your own skin, so covering it up with pictures helps – Frank Iero • My tattoos are reminders to hang in there when things get rough. – Demi Lovato • My whole thing was, just being me. Now, you look around the NBA and all of them have tattoos, guys wearing cornrows. Now you see the police officers with the cornrows. I took a beating for those types of things. – Allen Iverson • No one wants to see a tattoo on a stomach. – Lena Dunham • Not one great country can be named, from the polar regions in the north to New Zealand in the south, in which the aborigines do not tattoo themselves. – Charles Darwin • Nothing to show but this brand new tattoo. But it’s a real beauty, a Mexican cutie, how it got here I haven’t a clue. – Jimmy Buffett • One of the beauties of ‘The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo’ is the very delicate and strange relationship between the two main characters. – Stellan Skarsgard • One of the series I like is D.M. Cornish’s ‘Monster Blood Tattoo,’ in which he creates a whole language. Kids who are reading that are building a language in their heads. There’s no real cognitive difference. I think kids are excited by language, and they’re not always given credit for that. – Matthew Tobin Anderson • One person’s tattoo is nobody else’s business – Don Ed Hardy • Painting and tattooing the body is a return to animalism. – Johann Wolfgang von Goethe • Painting is an infinitely minute part of my personality. – Salvador Dali • People are proud of their tattoos. It’s like a modern coat of arms. -Christian Louboutin • People have asked me, what about your tattoos when you’re ninety? Why would it bother me then? I would still want to get tattooed even when I’m a grandmother. – Nicole Miller • People like to come up to me and tell me that I’ve got nice ink. Except these tattoos aren’t just decorations. They are declarations. Every tattoo I have tells its own story about who I am. Drug-free. Honor. And a war against the system. – CM Punk • People who don’t like me talk about it as though I’m trash because I have tattoos. I find that insane because it’s 2008, not the 1950s. Tattoos aren’t limited to sailors. It’s a form of art I find beautiful. I love it. – Megan Fox • Previously unseen boo-boos come at you like tattoos on a teenage girl. – Robert Genn • Put tattoos all up and down our thighs, do anything our parents would despise. Take uppers, downers, blues, and reds and yellows, our brains are turning into jello. – Joan Baez • Quirky is sexy, like scars or chipped teeth. I also like tattoos they’re rebellious. – Jennifer Aniston • Right,” I scoffed, “Alpha Yam Ergo.” Adrian nodded solemnly. “A very old and prestigious society.” “I’ve never heard of them,” said the girl who’d claimed the first shirt. “They don’t let many people in,” he said. In white paint, he wrote his fake fraternity’s initials: AYE. “Isn’t that what pirates say?” asked one of the girls. “Well, the Alpha Yams have nautical origins,” he explained. To my horror he began painting a pirate skeleton riding a motorcycle. “Oh, no,” I groaned. “Not the tattoo.” “It’s our logo,” he said. – Richelle Mead • Say my shoe game nuts so I call em cashews Every other city it’s another Nicki tattoo – Nicki Minaj • Score a touchdown, kiss your tattoo. Kaepernicking! – Colin Kaepernick • She gets on you under your skin like a tattoo she’ll always be there! – Jason Aldean • She was clean”: no piercings, tattoos, or scarifications. All the kids were now. And who could blame them, Alex thought, after watching three generations of flaccid tattoos droop like moth-eaten upholstery over poorly stuffed biceps and saggy asses? – Jennifer Egan • She’s a classy girl though, at least all her tattoos are spelt right. – Chic Murray • Show me a man with a tattoo and I’ll show you a man with an interesting past. – Jack London • So that the monotonous fall of the waves on the beach, which for the most part beat a measured and soothing tattoo to her thoughts seemed consolingly to repeat over and over again. – Virginia Woolf • Some people pay a thousand dollars for a tattoo. This scar cost me twenty grand. – Mat Hoffman • Some say his droppings have been found as far north as York, and that he has a full size tattoo of his face, on his face. All we know is he’s called the Stig. – Jeremy Clarkson • Sometimes I bust out and do things so permanent. Like tattoos and marriage. – Drew Barrymore • Tattoo on the lower back? Might as well be a bullseye. – Vince Vaughn • Tattoo. What a loaded word it is, rife with associations to goons, goofs, bikers, tribal warriors, carnival artists, drunken sailors and floozies. – Jon Anderson • Tattooing is my social life, too, so most of my time is taken up with that. People like Henry Lewis, Mike Davis at Everlasting Tattoo. – Margaret Cho • Tattoos are a right of passage. They’re a marker of bravery, of maturity, of cultural acceptance. The tattoo represents not only a willingness to accept pain – to endure it – but a need to actively embrace it. Because life is painful – beautiful but painful. – Nicola Barker • Tattoos are like stories – they’re symbolic of the important moments in your life. Sitting down, talking about where you got each tattoo and what it symbolizes, is really beautiful. – Pamela Anderson • Tattoos are my way of expressing myself without the need for words. – Jay Park • Tattoos are permanent and a lifelong commitment, the same as marriage. – Chester Bennington • Tattoos are so widespread, so ugly and so very, very permanent. You can, in theory, have them removed – but a large chunk of your living flesh will go with it. – Tony Parsons • Tattoos aren’t meant for everybody and they’re too goddamn good for some people. – Lyle Tuttle • Tattoos exude pain and pleasure all at the same time. – Chester Bennington • Tattoos tell stories of crime and passion, punishment and regret. They express an outlaw, antiauthoritarian point of view and communicate a romantic solidarity among society’s outcasts. – Douglas Kent Hall • The ‘black metallers’ will probably continue to ‘get loaded,’ ‘get high,’ and in all other manners too behave like the stereotypical Negro; they will probably continue to get foreign tribal tattoos, dress, walk, talk, look and act like homosexuals, and so forth. – Varg Vikernes • The ‘believe’ tattoo is because my mom always told me to believe. – Ashley Tisdale • The biggest misconception about me is the bad-boy image that everyone stuck me into due to my tattoos, drug days and the constant changes I make with my hair color. – A. J. McLean • The conservatism is extraordinary to me; just compare the way they dress to the way their parents dress. There are still no tattoos or piercings, which is interesting to me. Why does everyone who lives in one place dress alike, look alike, eat the same thing, and decorate the same way? – Tina Barney • The first five years of my career, I was Inmate #1, Bad Guy #1 and Mean Guy #1. I had a great career going, until somebody told me that I was typecast. I said, “Well, what’s typecast?” And they said, “Well, you’re always playing the mean Chicano dude with tattoos.” I thought about that and I said, “Wait a minute! I am the mean Chicano dude with tattoos, so somebody is getting it right.” – Danny Trejo • The first tattoo I got was when I was 17, and it’s a cross on my bicep with ‘Only God Can Judge Me’ underneath. – Trey Songz • The first time I showed the tattoo it was big news in the newspaper. ‘She has a tattoo with a snake.’ It’s not a snake! – Li Na • The funny thing is that my husband couldn’t be sweeter. He looks like this bad boy. He’s got tattoos and earrings and a mohawk, but when you talk to him and he’s around you, he’s such a gentleman. He holds doors for ladies. He pulls out chairs. He cooks. He cleans. – Malin Akerman • The funny thing is, when a Harley-Davidson guy full of tattoos comes out with a Maltese, they’re trying to soften themselves out. When a very soft, single lady with a tailored look comes out with a Rottweiler, she’s looking for protection, for strength. Society automatically views the guy as too strong so he brings a Maltese. It’s just a natural way to balance your situation. It really depends. – Cesar Millan • The justification for rap rock seems to be that if you take really bad rock and put really bad rap over it, the result is somehow good, provided the raps are barked by an overweight white guy with cropped hair and forearm tattoos. – John Jeremiah Sullivan • The muffled drum’s sad roll has beat; The soldier’s last tattoo; No more on Life’s parade shall meet; The brave and fallen few. On Fame’s eternal camping-ground; Their silent tents are spread, And Glory guards, with solemn round; The bivouac of the dead. – Theodore O’Hara • The one album I can’t live without is called ‘Cumbolo’ by a band called Culture. Every song on their album is deep, but there’s one in particular called ‘This Train.’ I have a tattoo of the lyrics on my left arm. – Idris Elba • The one in the movie is not real, but my Casper tattoo is real, and it is my only one. – Casper Van Dien • The other day, I got a henna tattoo that says “Forever.” – Zach Galifianakis • The tattoo can only exist as part of the skin, as a drawing always is an incision in the material and therefore cannot be parted from it. – Antoni Tapies • The tattoo has a profound meaning: the superficiality of modern man’s existence. – Anthony Daniels • The tattoo of the History is permanent; once a nation or a man is marked by this tattoo, erasing is impossible. – Mehmet Murat Ildan • The universality of tattooing is a curious subject for speculation. – James Cook • There is something in the act of having tattoos done that I love. It can be quite addictive. I’ve got a few on my back because my friend is an artist, and a few on my arms. Every time I pass a tattoo parlour, I think, ‘Maybe just a tiny one. – Lena Headey • There is something vulnerable about showing your tattoos to people, even while it gives you a feeling that you are wearing a sleeve when you are naked. – Lena Dunham • There’s never the right last moment. Even if you get to say good-bye, even if you get to say “I love you”, even if you jump off a plane and get a tattoo and hug everyone you’ve ever met right before you drift off with a smile, it is never the right last moment. There is always more to say, somewhere to go, something to remember. Another discussion, another fight. There is always supposed to be another day. – Pamela Ribon • This is so cool,” I said loudly as Dad walked away. “Have you met the tattoo artist? Is he hot?” “He’s a she,” Mom said. “Is she hot? Cause I’m still young, you know. My sexual identity isnt fully formed.” “Your father can’t hear you anymore, Maya.” Mom sighed. – Kelley Armstrong • This was a place where tattoos outnumbered teeth. – Harlan Coben • To many people, dramatic criticism must seem like an attempt to tattoo soap bubbles. – John Mason Brown • Usually all my tattoos came at good times. A tattoo is something permanent when you’ve made a self-discovery, or something you’ve come to a conclusion about. – Angelina Jolie • We all originally came from the woods! it is hard to eradicate from any of us the old taste for the tattoo and the war-paint; and the moment that money gets into our pockets, it somehow or another breaks out in ornaments on our person, without always giving refinement to our manners. – Edwin Percy Whipple • We are all tattooed in our cradles with the beliefs of our tribe; the record may seem superficial, but it is indelible. – Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. • We have certain rules for traditional lyric poetry in Korea. I twist my body, confused by what to say and how to act, facing these rules. Confronting traditional lyricism, I speak with a bare body without the tattoos of culture on it. – Kim Hyesoon • Well, I love tattoos and have been drawing them on my binders in school since I was little. – Kimberly Caldwell • Well, these tattoos aren’t really rebellion. These tattoos are all tattoos I’ve had since I have been a pastor. – Jay Bakker • What we’ve said to the girls is: ‘If you guys ever decide that you’re going to get a tattoo, then mommy and me will get the exact same tattoo, in the same place.’ And we’ll go on YouTube and show it off as a family tattoo. – Barack Obama • When all the people covered in tattoos turn about 70 years old, they’re going to look like a strange race of melting clowns. – Dana Gould • When I came to New York and I opened the window of the thirty-fifth-floor apartment, there’s light pollution and fog, and I couldn’t see my star.

My sore, swollen knuckles slammed into his cheekbone, thrusting his head to the side.

Demonic Mixture

That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

Genesis 6:2

Demonic mixture is when demon spirits blend with human flesh and produce parahumans and demonic hybrids that walk upon the earth, amongst human beings. This book is written to help you to understand your enemy in every form that he takes. Whether it is devils, foul spirits or unclean hateful birds and creatures. This book is written to help you overcome the devil in any form that he takes. This book is written to help you fight evil spirits in every form or fashion.

In this chapter, you will understand how evil spirits have blended with human beings to form even more wicked parahumans and hybrids. A parahuman is a kind of human being who is not from the mainstream of human beings. A hybrid is simply a mixture of spirit and man or a mixture of spirit and animal. Let us go through the steps which describe this amazing phenomenon of demonic mixture.

1.Demonic mixture: Fallen angels had sex with women creating half-angel, half-human creatures (PARAHUMANS).

And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the ground, and daughters were born unto them, that the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all that they chose.

And Jehovah said, My spirit shall not strive with man for ever, for that he also is flesh: yet shall his days be a hundred and twenty years.

THE NEPHILIM (giants) WERE IN THE EARTH IN THOSE DAYS, AND ALSO AFTER THAT, WHEN THE SONS OF GOD CAME UNTO THE DAUGHTERS OF MEN, AND THEY BARE CHILDREN TO THEM: THE SAME WERE THE MIGHTY MEN (Gibbor) THAT WERE OF OLD, THE MEN OF RENOWN (SEM).

And Jehovah 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.

And it repented Jehovah that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. And Jehovah said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the ground; both man, and beast, and creeping things, and birds of the heavens; for it repenteth me that I have made them.

But Noah found favor in the eyes of Jehovah.

Genesis 6:1-8 (ASV)

In the days of Noah, the sons of God (fallen angels, spiritual beings) invaded human beings through sex. This union of evil spirits and human beings brought forth three types of creatures: the Nephilim (giants), the Gibbor (tyrants) and the Sem (famous men).

And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, that the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

Genesis 6:1-2

The concept of angels having sex with women is a biblical one. It is not an idea that is foreign to the Holy Bible. Some people feel that angels could not have had sexual intercourse.

As men have sought after God, satan has been provoked to jealousy. Satan is surprised that men everywhere are turning towards God. Satan is surprised that men desire to find their creator. Satan is filled with jealousy, hatred and madness because we love God. Satan desires to kill and destroy all creatures who love and serve God.

This combination of human beings and fallen angels produced a race of evil creatures who corrupted the earth. In the days leading up to the coming of Jesus, we can expect even more of exactly what happened in the days of Noah to happen again.

Human beings became evil because many of them were actually a combination of devil and man. There are many human beings who behave like devils. They steal, they kill and they destroy effortlessly and without feeling any pity.

The offspring of the angels and men were abnormal beings who became giants, bullies and unusual men of renown. Indeed, the products of the angels and the men were so unusual that they became famous. Today, the stories of these famous men of renown are still told all over the world. Their presence on earth and their deeds were unforgettable.

It is believed that some of the famous people with super human abilities in sports, athletics, politics and war are actually part angel and part human.

When evil enemies enter a city, they often burn down and destroy everything they can. Because satan cannot rule the creation, he seeks to destroy it.

There are several human beings who are actually half-devil and half-human. Satan is well known to be a murderer, a liar and a corrupter. The fallen angels have introduced corruption into the world. The half-devil half-human condition is even more deadly than a human being possessed with devils because in this case, a human being actually operates like the devil on earth. The devil has taken the infiltration of human beings one step further.

The Book of Enoch

The Book of Enoch gives more detail than the Bible about the activities of fallen angels. The Book of Genesis actually summarizes and quotes from the Book of Enoch. Fallen angels apparently did much more than have sex with women.

Indeed, you will discover that the first eight verses of the Book of Genesis Chapter 6 are a summary of sixth, seventh and eighth chapters of what is known as the Book of Enoch. To get a more complete picture of the creation of demons, you will have to refer to the Book of Enoch which is another Christian book purported to be written by Enoch. I quote from this book just as I would quote from any other Christian author. You will notice that in many of my other books, I have quoted from other Christian authors. I know that many people consider the Book of Enoch as superior to ordinary Christian literature and even consider it as scripture. Indeed, the Book of Enoch is a full part of what is known as the Ethiopian Bible.

But to avoid controversy or even discussion, do not receive the Book of Enoch as scripture but as the writing of any other Christian scholar or believing author. The glimpses we have from the Bible are more than enough to paint the full picture for you. The notes from the book of Enoch will only fill in the gaps to give you a better picture of what the Bible teaches. You will realise that eight verses of the Bible are actually a summary of twenty verses of the Book of Enoch and you will learn several important facts that are left out in the summarised version in the book of Genesis.

Read for yourself what the leader of the fallen angels, Semjaza, and his associates did to mankind.

And the angels taught them charms and spells, and the cutting of roots, and made them acquainted with plants. …And there was great impiety, they turned away from God, and committed fornication, and they were led astray, and became corrupt in all their ways

Enoch 7:2, 8:2

Semjaza taught the casting of spells, and root-cuttings, Armaros taught counter-spells (release from spells), Baraqijal taught astrology, Kokabel taught the constellations (portents), Ezeqeel the knowledge of the clouds, Araqiel the signs of the earth, Shamsiel the signs of the sun, and Sariel the course of the moon. And as men perished, they cried, and their cry went up to heaven

Enoch 8:3

The corruption and destruction of human society is caused by the presence of dark angels who have fallen from glory and are bent on destroying all that God has made.

Through the blood of Jesus, God has redeemed us and saved us from being corrupted and owned by satan. It is our duty to preach the gospel and help people to be saved from the wicked influence of satan. It is our duty to minister the Word of God until we deliver mankind from these evil beings whose main goal is to destroy mankind.

2. Demonic mixture: Fallen angels had sex with animals creating half-angel, half-animal creatures(ANGEL-ANIMAL HYBRIDS).

And all of them together went and took wives for themselves, each choosing one for himself, and they began to go in to them and to defile themselves with sex with them…

And they began to sin against birds, and beasts, and reptiles, and fish, and to devour one another's flesh, and drank the blood.

Enoch 7:1, 5

Angel-animal hybrids are a combination of angels and animals and will therefore produce some kind of supernatural and spiritual animal.

The angels sinned against the animals by having sex with them which led to the formation of half-angel, half-animal hybrids. The Bible makes mention of a man lion creature. The lion-like man who fought with one of the mighty men of David is a good example of this. The same passage mentions a lion, which is obviously different from the lion-like man (2 Samuel 23:20). This shows you that the lion-like men were different from actual lions. When a lion-like man dies, what do you think will happen to the spiritual part of that creature?

Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea.

And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another.

The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it.

And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh.

After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it.

After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.

Daniel 7: 2 - 7

And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man, of Kabzeel, who had done many acts, he slew two lionlike men of Moab: he went down also and slew a lion in the midst of a pit in time of snow: (2 Samuel 23:20)

The destruction and corruption of God’s creation is one of satan’s crimes. He will be punished for this. Watch out for people who destroy nature and creation. It is a sin to destroy what God has created.

In 1 Corinthians we learn that when you commit fornication, you sin against your body. “Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.” (1 Corinthians 6:18). Therefore, when the angels sinned against birds, beasts, reptiles and fish, they were committing fornication with them.

Also, the angels are believed to have made different species of animals have sex with each other, thereby creating unusual breeds. All these sins corrupted the animals and created unusual animal species. Satan organised the mixing up and the corrupting of different species of animals. The Book of Enoch teaches us that the fallen angels sinned against animals, birds, reptiles and fish.

The creatures who were created by the union of the fallen angels and animals were malevolent and full of evil. They introduced a high level of wickedness and corruption of flesh into the world. The corruption of all flesh is the contamination and the mixing up and the spoiling of the creation. Dinosaurs were a product of these unlawful mixtures of angel and animals and a mixture of other supernatural animals. Did you know that dinosaurs are actually a combination of reptiles and birds? Dinosaurs have hollow bones like birds and a pelvic structure. Dinosaurs look and act like giant lizards and crocodiles. The large size of these dinosaurs is a symptom of angelic involvement with the animals! Films like Jurassic Park reveal the nature of these mixed and corrupted creatures that once lived on the earth. If you watch the film, ‘Jurassic Park’ you will see how the dinosaurs were a mixture of flying birds and reptiles.

Remember that when angels had sex with men, large sized men (giants) were created. It is the angelic involvement with the animals that probably led to the huge sizes of these animals. These super animals are both spiritual and physical creatures. This must not sound so strange to you as many people do have sex with animals today.

The corruption of the creation was produced by the union between angels and men, angels and animals, men and animals, and unions of different species of animals.

3. Demonic mixture: Unclean Spirits (spirits which resemble unclean animals) were formed by the combination of angels with animals and further combinations of animal hybrids with other animals.

And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth: Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.

And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat. But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean. And the voice spake unto him again the second time, what God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.

Acts 10:11-15

And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs comeout of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.

Revelation 16:13

In the scripture above, Peter describes a host of different uncleananimals. Unclean animals are a group of animals Moses said were not to be eaten. All through the Bible, you hear about unclean spirits. These must be spirits that resemble the list of unclean animals. This is why they are called unclean spirits.

Unclean spirits are just like the group of animals such as reptiles, amphibians, birds and horses which Jews could not eat. There is only one scripture which describes an unclean spirit and it describes it as a frog.

All through the Bible, you will read about uncleanspirits in the dark world that resemble animals. There is enough evidence in the Scripture to make us know that there are evil spirits that have animal features. Where do these animal spirits come from? Did God create them? How were they created? That is what this chapter seeks to explain. Did God intentionally create these evil creatures? There are spiritually evil animals out there and they are mentioned time and time again throughout the Bible.

Unclean spirits which are animal spirits were created by fallen angels having intercourse with animals and the products of this union continuing to have intercourse with one another. The fallen angels sinned against birds and animals, fish and reptiles. By having sex with these animals, they produced offspring which continue to have intercourse with each other. This kind of intercourse produced strange wicked spirit-animal creatures which we know as “unclean (animal) spirits”.

(The fallen angels also taught men how to do magic, witchcraft and how to cast spells. You will notice that places in which there is a lot of idol worship and demon activity there is usually incest, witchcraft, magic and the casting of spells. The idols they worship are usually exact images of the demons. This is why the word ‘demon’ is also translated ‘deity’ or ‘god’.) Notice this passage from the book of Enoch:

And all of them together went and took wives for themselves, each choosing one for himself, and they began to go in to them and to defile themselves with sex with them,

And the angels taught them charms and spells, and the cutting of roots, and made them acquainted with plants.

And the women became pregnant, and they bare large giants, whose height was three thousand cubits (ells).

The giants consumed all the work and toil of men. And when men could no longer sustain them, the giants turned against them and devoured mankind.

And they began to sin against birds, and beasts, and reptiles, and fish, and to devour one another's flesh, and drank the blood.

Then the earth laid accusation against the lawless ones.

Enoch 7: 1-6

What happens when half-animal half-angel creatures die? Obviously, these half angel-half animal creatures would have to continue existing because angels are spirits.

When these grotesque half-angel half-animal creatures died, their spirits, which were the bizarre merger of angels and animals, lived on in the realm of darkness. If they had been just animals, they would have died like ordinary animals and disappeared into the earth’s lifecycle. But because they were a combination of animals and angels, they continued to live on in the spirit realm of darkness. (Darkness is a term for a realm which cannot be seen).

There are many of such creatures in the dark world around your house and around where you live. They were there before you were born and they have no intention of going anywhere. If you picture these creatures living in and around your house, it will spur you on to rise up and pray to bind their activities and prevent them from their operations and manoeuvres in your life.

The demons I am talking about are a completely different kind of spiritual being. They are hybrids of fallen wicked angels and animals. They are hybrid spirits. This is why they have a completely different name in the Greek language. In the Greek language, they are called diamonions. Diamonionmeans a deity and an evil spirit.

Mermaids, for instance, are human-fish combinations. I know of people who have encountered half-woman half-fish creatures.

Moloch was the name of the idol god of the Ammonites to which human victims, especially children, were offered in sacrifice. Its image was a brazen figure with the head of an ox and outstretched human arms. All through the Old Testament you will find God admonishing His children not to follow the evil practices of the heathen that included worshipping the images of demons.

Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon.

Acts 7:43

Have you noticed that famous idols and deities throughout history have grotesque shapes and features of human-animal combinations? Human beings are taught by demons to make these idols and worship them. Idols are often images of creatures that exist in the spirit realm. Satan longs for human beings to worship him. Satan wants to take attention away from God. These demonic creatures exist in the darkness and these are what we are actually fighting against when we are doing spiritual warfare.

These creatures, which are depicted in ancient art, actually look like evil creatures described in the Bible. For instance, in Revelation “And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. . . .And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.” (Revelation 13:1, 11). Any time you are in prayer and dealing with evil entities and beings, you must picture these creatures as what you are actually fighting against.

“But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils.”

1 Corinthians 10:20

These creatures want to be worshipped and cause men to create images of themselves. This is why many of the idols of our world look like these half-human half-animal entities. Idol worshippers are forced to carve out these creatures and worship them. Indeed, the word ‘demon’ in the Bible is the word ‘deity’ which actually means a god. Often when you sacrifice to idols, you are sacrificing to demons.

NEW MESSAGES FROM YESHUA

Man is not a body. Man is a soul, a consciousness. And the body is just a temporary container, in which man must go through the next stage of studying in the school in the material world.

There are fictions on earth whereas here are truths only.

According to the potency of the person difficult tasks are given.

Knowledge is given but understanding belongs to the people themselves.

Thoughts are parasites and they suck the energy of your being. Without thoughts you maintain your energy in yourselves and it becomes a fullness.

Be open to learn otherwise you will become neurotics.

God is the living force for all. If a living creature with their own free will shall brake their ties with God while on earth, then they will disappear from the world of livings in the graves.

. So, keep away anxiety.

. Keep calm.

. Never lose your temper.

. Praying is a great help to keep calm.

. Also, daily grounding with soil and water are very essential.

The Kingdom of God is not where God reigns, but where His Source of Divine Power is.

''The time is fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God come near; repent, and believe in the good news. Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you''.

Information is not wisdom, those who are full of information shall miss the truth longest.

The truth is simple. Not only educated, but the children can also understand it.

. Love God with all your heart, wise and soul. This is spiritual love, love without seeing and hearing.

. Love everybody as yourself. The love here is the Divine Love which means a general affection.

. Cease doing malignant actions.

. Experience genuine remorse for the wrong committed.

. Make restitution to repair the damage done to others.

. Act to protect life, preserve life, make life more functional and/or improve the quality of life.

. Respect the human lives and beasts. Do not kill.

...but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.

Switch your attention to the Highest Goal-God the Father.

. Do not fear the flesh, nor love it.

. If you fear it, it will become your master.

. If you love it, it devours and subjugate you.

The purified souls becomes the user of the Divine Energies. The user can absorb divine energy and power directly into their body and use it in various ways.

The true purified soul's mind can weather all the lies and illusions without being lost. Their souls always yields to purifying light.

If a man thinks only of his own profit, and tries to benefit himself at the expense of others, he will incur the hatred of Heaven.

It is not enough that honest men are appointed Judges. All know the influence of interest on the mind of man, and how unconsciously his judgment is warped by that influence.

Yeshua was not a rabbi. Yeshua took Maria Magdelena under His marriage certificate for the sole purpose of protecting her life. They never had sexual intercourse nor stay under the same roof.

Yeshua said that he had never been to France or to Tibet. He was a Divine Soul among us to show us the straighest and the most illimunated way to Divineness.

He said that His body was not left on Earth.

Yeshua said, ''The shroud of turin is fake. The real cotton that had been used faded away and dissolved in time. It is now nowhere.''

There will be no second coming. I have come and gone many times and I still come and go when & where it is necessary. But as Yeshua Messiah I will not come again.

There is no end time as you think. There is no devil. There is no armagedon. That will be against the act of free will.

You don’t need a religion to reach me.

All you need is love.

Only with Love in your hearts like little children you can reach me and God.

These are the steps of stairs.

Love, Me and God.

With Love in your hearts you can reach me.

If you reach me you can reach to God.

I couldn’t teach that to human beings.

You can directly reach me by love.

Declare that to all people.

They don't need any mediator.

Love God with all you soul, heart and mind and love people as yourself.

All you need is a pure heart full of love.

The germs of true religion originate in the domain of man’s moral consciousness, and they are revealed in the growth of man’s spiritual insight.

Yeshua says: "Do not be a warrior."

But religions say:"Fight till the end untill the law is fulfilled."

Follow Yeshua not the religions.

WAKE UP

I hope most of you will awake before death and be taken.

Eternal life and Holy Spirit does not mean anything to them. They worship gold, flesh and the power giver but, not the Spirit.

If your children had loved you just for the money you gave them, how would you feel? Aren't we the children of God? How God feels? Let's think.

Once you admit that mainstream religious traditions have not answered your questions about life, you are very close in getting contact with the divine truth.

If you use a perverted version of Yesua's teachings as a justification for closing your mind to His real teachings, you are not one of His modern-day disciples.

So called gays and lesbians are mentally ill and morally pervert people.

Same as fornication these should not be accepted as normal in communities. This kind of sickness will in tima rot natural relationships. They should enter under a remedy treatment.

Those perversions are a rebellion against the God.

THE ONE BEING

Those who are in agony are actually suffering from a side product of their ego. Not seeing the miracles around and see the misery only is egoism.

Do not become a voice among other voices. Be still, keep calm and be silent then you can become a witness of your surrounding.

Yeshua 27th, August 2017

THE WAYS WE ARE FREE TO CHOSE

There are two ways for the souls.

As for the crimes the divine justice will be working.

If you shut the truth and the Life(God) out then you miss the mark. If you give prioity to other things by giving more emphasis to desires rather than truth, it is the only way you can commit a sin.

“By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible”.

Never forget, spirituality Is what you are, it is not what you do. The total of what you have loaded to yourselves while living on earth.

Knowing God is the purpose of human existence. When you get this, you’re at peace. The search is over. Ego-driven expectations disappear. Life begins to be genuinely celebrated.

We show up for one reason and one reason only: to walk with God, or union with Divine.

“The word ‘enlightenment’ conjures up the idea of some superhuman accomplishment. It is really just your natural state of felt oneness with Being.”

SPIRITUAL ADULTARY

“God sent His son as a ransom to be sacrified so that with his blood our sins are washed.”

They claim this sadistic knowledge from the Bible and really believe in it. I reject to believe in such a cruel and sadistic god… What would you say to that my brother?

I asked to Yeshua in my lucid dream, Christian belief is as such that those who believe in You and get babtised, the Holy Spirit will be cast down upon them. Is it so?

Yeshua answered, ‘’Holy Spirit is neither cast down nor descend but humans must rise up cognitively to become a Holy Spirit.’’

All people – Christians or not – receive this help through the spiritual love that Yeshua hold. "Ask and you will be answered".

PROPHECY

Stay with righteouness. Never bring evil thoughts into action. Do not give them life.

Yeshua.

FINAL WARNING

Yeshua, 1st of March, 2018.

IN GOD WE TRUST…

NEW MESSAGES FROM YESHUA

Man is not a body. Man is a soul, a consciousness. And the body is just a temporary container, in which man must go through the next stage of studying in the school in the material world.

There are fictions on earth whereas here are truths only.

According to the potency of the person difficult tasks are given.

Knowledge is given but understanding belongs to the people themselves.

Thoughts are parasites and they suck the energy of your being. Without thoughts you maintain your energy in yourselves and it becomes a fullness.

Be open to learn otherwise you will become neurotics.

God is the living force for all. If a living creature with their own free will shall brake their ties with God while on earth, then they will disappear from the world of livings in the graves.

. So, keep away anxiety.

. Keep calm.

. Never lose your temper.

. Praying is a great help to keep calm.

. Also, daily grounding with soil and water are very essential.

The Kingdom of God is not where God reigns, but where His Source of Divine Power is.

''The time is fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God come near; repent, and believe in the good news. Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you''.

Information is not wisdom, those who are full of information shall miss the truth longest.

The truth is simple. Not only educated, but the children can also understand it.

. Love God with all your heart, wise and soul. This is spiritual love, love without seeing and hearing.

. Love everybody as yourself. The love here is the Divine Love which means a general affection.

. Cease doing malignant actions.

. Experience genuine remorse for the wrong committed.

. Make restitution to repair the damage done to others.

. Act to protect life, preserve life, make life more functional and/or improve the quality of life.

. Respect the human lives and beasts. Do not kill.

...but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.

Switch your attention to the Highest Goal-God the Father.

. Do not fear the flesh, nor love it.

. If you fear it, it will become your master.

. If you love it, it devours and subjugate you.

The purified souls becomes the user of the Divine Energies. The user can absorb divine energy and power directly into their body and use it in various ways.

The true purified soul's mind can weather all the lies and illusions without being lost. Their souls always yields to purifying light.

If a man thinks only of his own profit, and tries to benefit himself at the expense of others, he will incur the hatred of Heaven.

It is not enough that honest men are appointed Judges. All know the influence of interest on the mind of man, and how unconsciously his judgment is warped by that influence.

Yeshua was not a rabbi. Yeshua took Maria Magdelena under His marriage certificate for the sole purpose of protecting her life. They never had sexual intercourse nor stay under the same roof.

Yeshua said that he had never been to France or to Tibet. He was a Divine Soul among us to show us the straighest and the most illimunated way to Divineness.

He said that His body was not left on Earth.

Yeshua said, ''The shroud of turin is fake. The real cotton that had been used faded away and dissolved in time. It is now nowhere.''

There will be no second coming. I have come and gone many times and I still come and go when & where it is necessary. But as Yeshua Messiah I will not come again.

There is no end time as you think. There is no devil. There is no armagedon. That will be against the act of free will.

You don’t need a religion to reach me.

All you need is love.

Only with Love in your hearts like little children you can reach me and God.

These are the steps of stairs.

Love, Me and God.

With Love in your hearts you can reach me.

If you reach me you can reach to God.

I couldn’t teach that to human beings.

You can directly reach me by love.

Declare that to all people.

They don't need any mediator.

Love God with all you soul, heart and mind and love people as yourself.

All you need is a pure heart full of love.

The germs of true religion originate in the domain of man’s moral consciousness, and they are revealed in the growth of man’s spiritual insight.

Yeshua says: "Do not be a warrior."

But religions say:"Fight till the end untill the law is fulfilled."

Follow Yeshua not the religions.

WAKE UP

I hope most of you will awake before death and be taken.

Eternal life and Holy Spirit does not mean anything to them. They worship gold, flesh and the power giver but, not the Spirit.

If your children had loved you just for the money you gave them, how would you feel? Aren't we the children of God? How God feels? Let's think.

Once you admit that mainstream religious traditions have not answered your questions about life, you are very close in getting contact with the divine truth.

If you use a perverted version of Yesua's teachings as a justification for closing your mind to His real teachings, you are not one of His modern-day disciples.

So called gays and lesbians are mentally ill and morally pervert people.

Same as fornication these should not be accepted as normal in communities. This kind of sickness will in tima rot natural relationships. They should enter under a remedy treatment.

Those perversions are a rebellion against the God.

THE ONE BEING

Those who are in agony are actually suffering from a side product of their ego. Not seeing the miracles around and see the misery only is egoism.

Do not become a voice among other voices. Be still, keep calm and be silent then you can become a witness of your surrounding.

Yeshua 27th, August 2017

THE WAYS WE ARE FREE TO CHOSE

There are two ways for the souls.

As for the crimes the divine justice will be working.

If you shut the truth and the Life(God) out then you miss the mark. If you give prioity to other things by giving more emphasis to desires rather than truth, it is the only way you can commit a sin.

“By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible”.

Never forget, spirituality Is what you are, it is not what you do. The total of what you have loaded to yourselves while living on earth.

Knowing God is the purpose of human existence. When you get this, you’re at peace. The search is over. Ego-driven expectations disappear. Life begins to be genuinely celebrated.

We show up for one reason and one reason only: to walk with God, or union with Divine.

“The word ‘enlightenment’ conjures up the idea of some superhuman accomplishment. It is really just your natural state of felt oneness with Being.”

SPIRITUAL ADULTARY

“God sent His son as a ransom to be sacrified so that with his blood our sins are washed.”

They claim this sadistic knowledge from the Bible and really believe in it. I reject to believe in such a cruel and sadistic god… What would you say to that my brother?

I asked to Yeshua in my lucid dream, Christian belief is as such that those who believe in You and get babtised, the Holy Spirit will be cast down upon them. Is it so?

Yeshua answered, ‘’Holy Spirit is neither cast down nor descend but humans must rise up cognitively to become a Holy Spirit.’’

All people – Christians or not – receive this help through the spiritual love that Yeshua hold. "Ask and you will be answered".

PROPHECY

Stay with righteouness. Never bring evil thoughts into action. Do not give them life.

Yeshua.

FINAL WARNING

Yeshua, 1st of March, 2018.

IN GOD WE TRUST…
