Before moving on we will pause for a moment to reflect upon the original human being. He was made in the physical image of the members of the Godhead (God and the Word) and was given the CAPACITY to develop a high level of Their spiritual powers, much higher than Adam’s descendants believe to be possible. Notice that Jesus the Christ (“anointed One”) is called “the SECOND ADAM” (1 Cor. 15:47), meaning that Jesus Christ, God’s human Messiah and Savior of mankind, WAS PATTERNED AFTER ADAM–JUST AS ARE WE. THINK ABOUT IT. What Adam could be, do, have, etc. we can be, do, have, etc. God is “no respecter of persons” (Acts 10:34).

Like everyone since, including Jesus, Adam had the power of choice, as had the angels, one-third of which chose to follow Lucifer (Satan) in his rebellion against God. We are commanded to “walk (live) as Jesus walked” (1 Jn. 2:6) and to overcome Satan’s temptations to sin as He did (Rev. 3:21), thereby keeping sin out of our lives AS HE DID (Heb. 4:15). This means that, IF we choose to “walk” (live) as we are commanded to walk in this life, and IF we choose to overcome Satan as we are commanded to do, we will be as Adam was before the fall and AS JESUS WAS WHILE ON EARTH AS A HUMAN BEING. Our choice determines how our lives are lived out in the present as well as where we spend eternity. Only those who choose to make Him their LORD (dictatorial Master) in this life will have Him as their Savior in the Kingdom of God. God does not suggest or recommend–GOD IS A DICTATOR. With Him it is all or nothing at all. For the price Christ paid for us, He and His Father have every right to demand obedience to Their Law in order to reap the rewards of His horrendous demise. Will it be worth our while to obey Them? Read The Kingdom of God. Key word–Kingdom.

So where do we stand today relative to God’s will for us? Is His will different for us than it was for Adam and his descendants? whose descendants we all are. Keep in mind the Truth that God does not change (Mal. 3:6). Let us fast forward from “the beginning” of the re-creation of the universe, including Adam (Gen. 1) to when God, through Moses, was speaking to the nation of Israel whom He had intended to be His “light of the world.” This was about 1680 B.C. His intention was for the Gentiles to notice how blessed Israel was and would want to become her spiritual brethren by obeying her God. We find Him speaking to the Israelites in Leviticus 26.

In order to determine if God’s rules of engagement with the Godhead had changed over those years we will now turn to the Book of Leviticus. In chapter 26 we find Him speaking to Israel and the Gentiles who had become spiritual Israelites. Read the first 13 verses. Here God tells the people (including us) what He will do FOR those who OBEY ALL OF HIS COMMANDMENTS. Read the remainder of the chapter to see what He will do TO them (and us) if they (and we) disobeyed (disobey) His Law. Now turn to Deuteronomy 28 where Moses is speaking to the following generation of Israelites. Read the entire chapter. Notice that His commands and results have not changed. NOR HAVE THEY CHANGED UNTIL THIS DAY.

Why had the Lord blessed Adam so greatly? Why would He bless the Israelites so greatly? Why does He make the same offer to believers today? BECAUSE HE WANTS TO. HE IS UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO DO ANYTHING. NO ONE ASKED HIM TO DO WHAT HE PROMISES TO DO. UNDERSTAND THIS: GOD WANTS TO BLESS US. IT IS HIS WILL THAT WE LIVE WONDERFUL LIVES WITHOUT NEED, WITHOUT FEAR AND IN A STATE OF JOY AND PEACE. The only thing He asks of us is that we OBEY HIS LAW. Is that too much to ask? Man says “Yes, it is.” I actually had a pillar of the church tell me that. According to her and billions of her religious peers, it is simply too much trouble to obey His Ten Commandment Law–even if it was possible to do so.

According to the Serpent of Eden who is the “god of this world” today (2 Cor. 4:4), it is not only too much trouble, it is impossible, and if it was possible, it would be totally unnecessary because Jesus took not only all of our PAST sins onto Himself on the cross, He also absorbed all of our FUTURE sins. THE THEORY IS THAT HE DIED A HORRIBLE DEATH SO THAT GOD WOULD FORGIVE OUR BREAKING OF HIS LAW IN THE PAST (JUSTIFY US) AND ENABLE US TO BREAK THAT SAME LAW AS OFTEN AS WE WANT TO IN THE FUTURE. It appears that religious man has been awarded a no sin limit debit card. It seems that the wages of our continuous, inevitable sins is death, until, that is, we take Jesus as our Savior. From that instant on THE WAGES OF OUR SINS IS ETERNAL LIFE. This echo from Eden rings loud and clear in professing Christendom whose parishioners “know” that they can break God’s Law as many times as they want to until their final breath and still live eternally with Him in paradise. Their only requirement is to BELIEVE. What we believe is in fact reality. Sound familiar? Read Transchristians using that word as the Key.

Believing is easy, as is evidenced by the breaking of God’s Law by substituting Satan’s sabbath for His Sabbath, thereby breaking His entire Law (Jam. 2:10), which is the definition of sin (1 Jn. 3:4), which brings on the death sentence (Rom. 6:23)–UNLESS YOU BELIEVE IN JESUS. As was the case with Adam and Eve, Satan exercises total control over the whole of professing Christianity. With one difference. Of Adam and Eve’s family of four, one (25%) believed and obeyed God. Today less than 1% of professing Christendom believes and obeys God’s Law of Eternal Life.

For generations within the civilized world it was the God-rejecting minority who were the social and religious outcasts. Not so anymore. Today, as apostasy picks up steam within professing Christendom, it is the true believers who are the outcasts. As prophesied long ago (Isa. 5:20) everything has changed. What God declares good is now evil and what He declares evil is now good. We are in the beginning stage of world-wide apostasy (falling away from God) at the present time. As I wrote in an earlier series, the time is soon coming when the entire world will declare war on God’s tiny remnant church. I have also predicted that the United States–the “One Nation Under God”–will lead the world’s charge against those who obey God’s Law. The focus of the religious civil war to come will be God’s 7th day Sabbath. Those who believe Him relative to the 4th commandment will be the focus of the world’s wrath. America will lead the charge against God and all who stand for Him and His Word.

I predict that the new pope will take up pope Francis’ one-world (Catholic) religion and international Sunday Sabbath Law enforced by the world’s governments cause. I predict that he will succeed. The coming civil war will not last long, perhaps a year or so. The war’s end will mark the beginning of the Great Tribulation followed by the terrible Day of the Lord. Read about the Tribulation Period using the key word–Tribulation.

God has not changed. He wants the best for His most cherished creation-mankind. The problem is that man continues to spiritually dine on forbidden fruit. Be sure to read all of Leviticus and Deuteronomy. Verses 14-46 and 15-68 respectively explain what is happening to the nation the Lord established to be His modern light of the world–America. The spirit that took over Adam and Eve’s minds, then later the Israelites’ minds has taken over the minds of billions of salvation seekers who call themselves “Christians.” In the New Testament that Satan-empowered entity is known as THE SPIRIT OF ANTICHRIST.

Deuteronomy 28 and Leviticus 26 prove that those who claim to be God’s people live far beneath their Biblically-proclaimed means. This travesty is due to the fact that they do not know what God says to them in His Holy Scriptures, believe very little of what little they know, and obey very little of what little they believe. THERE SHOULD BE NO QUESTION AS TO SATAN’S CONTROL OVER PROFESSING CHRISTIANITY. L.J.
