THE STING…
If you are old enough, you may remember a movie called “The Sting,”
which was a popular movie made in the 70’s, featuring Paul Newman and
Robert Redford. They play out the “con of all cons” against an evil
crime boss named Lonnegan. In the end, they use Lonnegan’s evil nature
to accomplish their own goal. This booklet is about the same
principal…using evil against itself! Truth be told, this booklet is
about the greatest sting operation ever pulled…and there are just as
many twists and turns as in the movie! God has a mysterious work that He
is accomplishing, and one of the most veiled parts of that plan involves
using evil. Yes, that’s right! And just like in the movie, where the
good guys actually use the bad guy and his evil nature to accomplish
their own goal, God does the same in His plan.
Obviously, it is impossible for God to be evil Himself, but offering the
alternative of evil is an absolutely necessary component in God’s plan.
It allows God to determine who will reject Him…and by extension, whom He
will reject. Matthew 3, verse 10 describes the coming rejection of all
evil men. “Therefore every tree which does not bear good fruit (develop
the mind and nature of God) is cut down and thrown into the fire.”
Since God doesn’t have a single molecule of evil in Him, how could He
possibly offer men the choice of evil? He found the perfect being to do
this for Him. Lucifer came along and he had become a very arrogant proud
angel, high up in the echelons of the spirit world. Lucifer deeply
wanted power and he deeply wanted to run things; in fact, he was a God
want-a-be.
"I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of
God (the other angels) I will be like the Most High (Isaiah.
14:12-14).
At what point did Lucifer decide to be God’s adversary? Somewhere eons
ago, Lucifer must have become aware of God’s master plan to create the
human race and make them in His image. At first just physically, but
later, spiritually --- GOD’S PLAN WAS TO MAKE HUMANS INTO FUTURE LITERAL
SONS OF GOD. No angel even as high as Lucifer was ever offered that
deal. Hebrews 1:5 says,
“For to which of the angels did He ever say:
"You are My Son, Today I have begotten you"?
Knowledge of this great plan for puny men made Lucifer’s blood boil and
so he whispered all his criticisms around to whichever angels would
listen to him, and he eventually fomented a rebellion so large that it
caused a full third of the angels of God to fall away. Ezekiel 28:15-16
says, “Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast
created, till iniquity was found in thee. By the multitude of thy
merchandise (i.e. peddling your criticisms against God) they have filled
the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will
cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy
thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.” God had
created Lucifer to be perfect and good, but now of his own volition,
Lucifer set himself up as an evil adversary of God. Lucifer’s plan was
to destroy God’s plan… God’s goal was to use Lucifer to accomplish it
without his knowledge or consent!
God could have destroyed Lucifer and the whole rebellious bunch on the
spot because angels are not inherently immortal. (“Only God hath
immortality.”) The good angels live on because God wills it, but there
is no such promise to fallen angels. So, why did God not destroy Lucifer
right then???
It’s because God had a purpose for him. Maybe unwittingly, but Lucifer
was going to play one of the most crucial roles in God’s plan for
mankind… He was going to be the “evil” choice for man. His influence on
man was the evil part of the “tree of the knowledge of good and evil.”
Satan was the father of sin and he taught men the original concepts of
evil.
God has a mind that is marvelous in that He was going to “use” Lucifer
to accomplish the very plan that Lucifer rebelled over. You might call
it trickery on God’s part, but not really. Evil surged through Lucifer’s
heart and he was now called “Satan.” He oh so willingly became the
“evil” option.
THE MYSTERIOUS PLAN THAT LUCIFER DESPISED
---BRINGING MANY SONS TO GLORY
Hebrews 2:10 says, “For it was fitting for Him, (Christ) for whom are
all things and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory.”
Lucifer had been at the top in the kingdom of God. He had been one of
the very archangels of God, and now, trillions of human beings were
going to eventually be made into glorious sons of God and it was far
more than his powerful pride could stand. Scrawny lowly men were going
to rule over him! They would be given the one thing that he had always
coveted, rulership as a God being. This rulership of all things was
going to be given to men. Psalms 8:4-6 says so, “ What is man that you
are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him? You made him a
little lower than the angels and crowned him with glory and honor. You
made him ruler over the works of your hands; You put everything under
his feet.”
Everything put under the feet of men???? The reason is simple! All that
we have goes to our children. Now we know why God the Father is going to
give everything not only to Christ---but also to us---it is because we
are His literal sons through faith in Jesus Christ. Galatians 3:26-27
says, “You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.”
Satan’s pride could not countenance this possibility, so he set out to
sabotage God’s plan for man anyway that he could. He would deceive the
whole world and turn these future sons of God away from their God. In
Satan’s mind, the easiest way to “destroy” God’s plan was to be right
there shortly after men were created and get them to reject their
creator Jesus Christ…who was the “Tree of Life.” And reject Him, they
did. Not only did Adam and Eve choose the serpent but, Cain their first
son, was the first “counterfeit” messiah. When Cain was born, Eve said,
“I have gotten a man from the LORD.” OR, better put,
“I have gotten the man-Yahaweh.”
(Jamieson Fausset and Brown Commentary)
As the first man-Yahaweh or “man-god,” Cain was the true father of false
religion. Cain was a farmer, and the original father of all “fertility
cult” sun worship, which was to become the false religion option for
men… Men would worship the sun instead of the Son. We see the long-lived
influence of sun worship still alive today.
The monstrance is used in Catholic worship service
WHY DID SATAN INSTITUTE SUN WORSHIP UNDER CAIN?
CAIN “THE MAN-GOD” WAS A COUNTERFEIT OF THE TRUE JESUS CHRIST, WHOSE
SPIRITUAL IMAGE LOOKS LIKE THE SUN
And (Christ) was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the
sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
Matthew 17:2
We know that in spirit form, God is pure light.
1 John 1:5 says, “This is the message we have heard from him and declare
to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.”
Yes, false sun worshipping religion began early on in the history of man
and continues to this day. It was Satan’s alternative to God’s true
religion. It was easy to see Satan’s reasoning, ‘wrong religion--wrong
god, no sonship…God’s plan thwarted!
This ancient raised sun disk is now said to “represent” Christ.
Note the old black and white picture on the left. Symbolic arms lift the
sun image up and the worshippers kneel before it. Then side-by-side, we
see the pope holding up “the host,” a sun image and worshippers also
kneel before it. The pope has the same cross on his vestments that is
pictured in the Egyptian photo of sun worship.
CHRIST IN HIS SPIRIT FORM LOOKS LIKE THE SUN.
Jesus Christ looks like the sun when He is in His spirit form.
Revelation 1:13-16 says, “…And among the lampstands was someone like a
son of man, dressed in a robe reaching down to his feet and with a
golden sash around his chest. His head and hair were white like wool, as
white as snow, and his eyes were like blazing fire. His feet were like
bronze glowing in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of rushing
waters. In his right hand he held seven stars, and out of his mouth came
a sharp double-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining in all its
brilliance.
The next photograph is of the Mithraic sun god. Visually compare it to
the scripture you just read describing Christ. This sun image also has a
face shining like the sun. It has a long robe. It has a sash around the
waist. THIS IS A KNOCK OFF OF JESUS CHRIST! A FAKE. By the way, does it
remind you of the statue of Liberty??? It should, French sculptor
Auguste Bartholdi based The Statue of Liberty on the Colossus of Rhodes
statue of the sun god.
This is the point. In Satan’s mind, false sun worshipping religion would
be an easy way to destroy God’s project. Here is the amazing “sting”
that God is pulling! Satan considers himself to be brilliant… Satan
thought that if he got all mankind to reject the “SON” and worship the
“SUN” he could thwart God’s future plans for man----BUT!
Little did Satan know that everything he did was part of God’s plan.
Little did he know that it was already deep within Adam and Eve to
reject Christ, and that God had made all men this way…until He got ready
to call them back to Him. Little did he know, that this natural
“rejection” of all things related to God
(“He is despised and rejected of men.” Isaiah 53:3) would protect men’s
minds from committing the unpardonable sin until God got ready to call
them!
So Satan probably felt that he had won a great victory against God. But
the rejection of Christ by carnal men and their utter blindness to the
truth was part of God’s plan all along! In truth, God created men to be
carnal and gave them free choice, so when Satan offered evil to Adam and
Eve, they snatched it up in a heartbeat! Our natural mind is not subject
to the law of God---neither indeed can be…BUT---the law of God is what
teaches us how to be made in the image of God and be adopted into the
God Family.
YOUR ADOPTION INTO THE ELOHIM FAMILY
The human “family” is a just a type of a spiritual Family. In fact, one
of the many words for “God” is “Elohim,” and it means “more than one
God,” or better put, A FAMILY OF GOD BEINGS..
This plural word “Elohim” is used in the Bible
2,570 times; yet, it is
always translated as “God,” instead of Gods. Which is strange, because
the “im” ending of Elohim always denotes plurality in the Hebrew
language. The translators were arrogant in assuming that the writers of
the Bible
didn’t know what they were talking about…so they “fixed” the
problem as they have done before, by changing a plural word to the
singular…or visa versa, and thereby hiding a truth of God.
THE CONCEPT OF MORE THAN ONE GOD WAS NO MISTAKE! Christ and His Father
were both in the same family. There were two of them and they were
responsible for the creation of man, “God (Elohim) said, "Let us make
man in our image, in our likeness…” Think about this, is not your own
child made in your image and your likeness? Of course, they are. Will
your child inherit what you have? Of course they will! We get our
inheritance from our own family, don’t we? This is why God cares about
us. We are His kids.
If we are going to understand the mysterious “work” of Jesus Christ and
His Father of creating new sons THAT WILL INHERIT ALL THAT GOD HAS, we
have to understand that when we receive the Holy Spirit, we become
spiritually conceived and are baby Elohims who will shine like the sun
someday. Matthew says in 13:43, “Then the righteous will shine like the
sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears let him hear.” WE
WILL LOOK JUST LIKE JESUS CHRIST…another member of the Elohim Family who
shines like the sun.
The Holy Spirit removes our blindness and deafness about what we will
be. Men in their blinded state are still “sons of disobedience,” under
the rulership of Satan, the “prince” of this world. Satan is called
prince seven times in the New Testament. He is called a prince of the
devils, the prince of this world, and the prince of the power of the
air. Christ also calls him ruler of this world in John 12:31-33. HERE IS
THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF GOD’S PLAN…JESUS CHRIST CAME TO UNSEAT SATAN
AS RULER AND TO DRAW ALL MEN BACK TO HIMSELF IN TIME…
“Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be
cast out. And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all peoples
to Myself." NKJV
Satan hadn’t won. Maybe the brilliant Satan did not understand that all
his ploys devised to hurt God, (including pulling one third of the
angels away, AND causing Adam and Eve to reject their creator, and
setting up false religion) were all an integral part of God’s operation.
Wow, what a STING! Was not Satan right there in the Garden of
Eden---right on time--- and right where God wanted him to be? That was
no mistake. Was not Satan right there causing the very betrayal and
death of Jesus Christ? Satan thought this would finish off God’s plan…
BUT…he was only helping to accomplish the very plan of God!
God was pulling off a coup…and Satan was doing everything that God
needed him to do—including, blinding the world with false religion… The
world that exists between Adam and the return of Christ is a blinded
world. For the time being, they have rejected the true tree of life…but
it is from this deceived world that the “first harvest” of men is being
called out. The word church means “called out ones.” God’s Holy Days
reveal a sequence of “harvests” and it is God’s Holy Days that make
known the exact time schedule for drawing all men back to Christ.
THE HOLY DAYS…THE MAP TO
DRAWING ALL MEN BACK TO GOD…
The Holy Days picture two HARVEST SEASONS OF SALVATION. The biggest and
neatest part of God’s plan is that He is going to draw all men back…but
not at the same time. There is a smaller spring harvest of men and there
is a gigantic fall harvest of men. Every man who has ever lived will
eventually be drawn back to Christ by the Father and be given a chance
to have God’s Holy Spirit and be adopted as a son into the Family of
God!
The harder Spring Harvest comes under Satan’s sway and it provides “the
perfect “training ground” for those who are being called for the first
resurrection! It allows these firstfruits to have their choice between
evil and good… Satan probably never understood that between the time of
Adam until the return of Christ, that only a “handful” so to speak,
would be called out to become a glorious son of the God family. Satan
never understood that the rest of mankind would indeed be “blinded” for
their protection in the meantime. Nor did he understand that a blinded
man is perfectly safe from all spiritual harm.
ONLY A FEW are called from the time of Adam to the return of Christ.
This is why you shouldn’t worry if your relatives and friends do not
understand the truth right now…it is for their own protection. God is
not calling them at this time… Carnality and spiritual blindness are not
evil----THEY ARE POWERFUL PROTECTION FOR MANKIND! All Mankind is made by
God to have a nature that innately hates God and His law but it is for
their own protection… Romans 8:7, “the sinful mind is hostile to God. It
does not submit to God's law, nor can it do so. NIV
God doesn’t call someone for the first resurrection if He doesn’t think
that they have a really good chance to qualify for it because, it is a
harder calling…and you are not going to be real popular, if you are on
God’s side in this world. We not only have to fight our own human nature
which is naturally anti-God; we have to stand against a whole world that
is going Satan’s way. We have to withstand our own family, our friends,
and co-workers. We are swimming upstream against a hard torrent. It’s
not easy to obey God and keep His laws and the Sabbath in this world;
…therefore to be called in the first harvest (pictured by the Spring
Holy Days) has a higher reward because it is harder. (“And have redeemed
us to God by Your blood out of every tribe and tongue and people and
nation, and have made us kings and priests to our God; and we shall
reign on the earth." Revelation 5:10 NKJV
If you have the Spirit of
Christ in you in this world, you will be deeply despised and rejected
just like Christ was. People won’t know why---but there will be an
enmity there. They just won’t like you, just like they innately don’t
like the real God. Christ warned his disciples of this “hate” when He
told his disciples…“If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me
before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its
own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the
world, therefore the world hates you.” John 15:18 If you’ve ever felt
different---like you just didn’t fit in, that is good! Maybe God is
calling you for the first resurrection!
THE CONCEIVING HOLY SPIRIT IS THE KEY TO REMOVING BLINDNESS ABOUT WHO WE
ARE…
The Holy Spirit is the KEY that removes blindness from our hearts. It
opens our minds so we can understand the truth. It reproves us of sin
and makes us realize that we should be obedient to God because we are
going to be a member of the same Family. Although, we are unable to keep
the law perfectly, we must try to. One sin on your part is all it takes
to require your death. This is where Christ comes in.
This is where Christ had to work out one of the hardest parts of God’s
plan. It was the substitution of His perfect life for ours. Christ
prayed to His Father about their mutual work to bring you into the God
Family! These two God beings were working hard on it! Christ said to His
father,
“I have glorified You on the earth. I have finished the work, which You
have given Me to do. And now, O Father, glorify Me together with
Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was.”
John 17:4,5
We’ll never know how much we owe Christ--because there is nothing about
you and I that could ever “achieve” eternal life by ourselves. We are
weak and we are sinners by our very nature, and the Bible
teaches us
that the wages of our sin is death. Keeping the law in a perfect way is
impossible for feeble human beings, so we are automatically doomed,
except for the fact that our creator said ‘I will die in their stead for
their sins.’
People gloss over this sacrifice of Christ’s----but if you want to
understand how hard it must have been for Him, do this mental exercise.
Imagine this scenario. Right before the terrorists get ready to saw a
man’s head off with a dull knife…you step forward and say, “STOP! Take
me instead of this man. Let him go back to his wife and children…and I
will die in his place.” How many of us have the guts to do that! Not
many, I assure you.
What was the “work” that Christ had to do to accomplish the plan of God?
1. Satan thought that by orchestrating the death of Christ that he could
shut down God’s plan permanently, but it was the death of Christ that
would begin the process of overthrowing Satan as ruler of this world.
And Christ’s death will eventually allow Him to destroy Satan. Hebrews
10:14 says: “….That by his death he might destroy him who holds the
power of death--that is, the devil.”
2. It was the death of Christ that would allow the Holy Spirit to come
down to men. It was on the day of Pentecost that Jesus Christ
established the Church of the Firstfruits, the “called out ones.” They
would be the first harvest of men. For the time being, they would be the
sole recipients of His Holy Spirit. The sole recipients of the Spirit of
truth.
Christ’s sacrifice applied retroactively to Abraham, David, and all
those men who were called as a first fruit in the Old Testament. This
whole group will be resurrected at the return of Christ, because they
have the “firstfruits of God’s spirit.” THEY WILL BE THE FIRST ONES OF
ALL MEN, TO BE ADOPTED AS SONS! Romans 8:22-23 says, “…but we ourselves,
who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait
eagerly for our adoption as sons…” NIV
Without Christ’s death, the Holy Spirit could not come down to men, and
without the Holy Spirit, no man could be “conceived” spiritually.
“Nevertheless I tell you the truth; it is expedient for you that I go
away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if
I depart, I will send it unto you. And when it is come, it will reprove
the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment.” John 16:7
Christ said that the “comforter” would “reprove the world of sin, and of
righteousness, and of judgment.” These weren’t just pretty words that
Christ was using. THE HOLY SPIRIT OF THE ELOHIM FAMILY REPROVES US OF
SIN. IT BRINGS THE CONCEPT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS INTO A PERSON’S MIND, IT
BEHOOVES US TO KEEP GOD’S LAW---SO WE CAN BE MADE SPIRITUALLY IN THE
IMAGE OF THE GOD FAMILY.
AND IT ALSO BRINGS US KNOWLEDGE OF OUR JUDGMENT!
Because once you have the Holy Spirit and it opens your mind up to the
truth, you know that you are “on trial” and that you are being judged as
to whether you are going to receive eternal life or eternal death. Some
people think that all this smacks of “legalism.” Does God think that by
keeping the law, we can achieve some sort of human perfection and save
ourselves??? No, we are all going to sin, but the Holy Spirit reproves
us and corrects us, which is a good thing because then you know that God
loves you. (“As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten:”) Revelation 3:19
Our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. And, yes, having the Holy
Spirit makes us “holy.” In light of that, read in Hebrews2:6-8, TO SEE
HOW WE ARE IN THE SAME FAMILY AS GOD.
“Both the one who makes men holy (God) and those who are made holy (men
who have received the Holy Spirit) are of the same family. So Jesus is
not ashamed to call them brothers.” Hebrews is the book written to the
firstfruits or firstborn sons of God. Once we receive the Holy Spirit,
we become “Holy” in that we are conceived by the same Holy Spirit that
Christ was conceived with, and we can become a real child of God!
Read the following passage…“How great is the love the Father has
lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is
what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not
know him. Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be
has not yet been made known. But we know that when he appears, we shall
be like him, for we shall see him as he is. Everyone who has this hope
in him purifies himself, just as he is pure.” That’s right because, THE
HOLY SPIRIT REPROVES US OF SIN. GOD REQUIRES OUR REPENTANCE. When we
quit sinning, that’s how we purify ourselves. The truth is, we need
Christ’s sacrifice but we also need to repent of disobedience and
develop the mind and nature of God by keeping the law! We need to try to
not have one molecule of evil in us, like our Father. Ephesians 2:2
says, “Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this
world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that
now worketh in the children of disobedience.”
ONLY THE RIGHTEOUS WILL SHINE LIKE
THE ELOHIM FAMILY OF GOD…
Matthew 13:40-43
"As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the
end of the age. The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will
weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil.
They will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping
and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the
kingdom of their Father. He, who has ears, let him hear. NIV
The bottom line is that if we cause people to sin and do evil on
purpose…we are doing what Satan wants us to do. He will have
accomplished His purpose of destroying us a future son of God.
We must not be “a child of disobedience”---we must strive for
sinlessness, BECAUSE GOD IS SINLESS AND IF WE ARE GOING TO BE MADE A
MEMBER OF THE ELOHIM, IN GOD’S IMAGE---WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO QUIT
SINNING. We will have to fight our own human nature, which overpowers us
sometimes, but we must have the underlying deep desire to be obedient.
That desire to be obedient is a sign that the Holy Spirit is reproving
us of our sins… Why is accepting God’s correction important??? IT’S
BECAUSE GOD IS GOING TO SORT OUT ALL MEN BY HOW GOOD OR HOW BAD THEY
ARE...
Here is where Satan and evil come in… Every man has an
choice, as to which side they will choose…Good or Evil. God has to be
able to sort out the good men from the bad. The good will be harvested
and the bad men will be destroyed like chaff. It stands to reason that
the mighty power and glory of the God Family (Elohim) cannot be given to
evil people! That could be disastrous for the whole universe and
creation of God!!! God can’t give any man power and immortality without
knowing what kind of man he is first! So, a plan was designed where once
a man received the Holy Spirit and he understood the truth, he would go
through a testing phase---a judgment to see what sort of man he really
is. God will keep the good men and give them eternal life.
“In the way of righteousness there is life;
Along that path is immortality.” NIV Proverbs 12:28
Remember what Christ said about the Holy Spirit? (*Comforter) He said
that when it came it would reprove the world of sin, bring righteousness
and judgment. God is only going to keep the good children who repent of
their sins when they are reproved. He will keep the ones who love
righteousness…and who overcome in their time of judgment. Those that
don’t bear this good fruit will be cast in the fire!
Good fruit is what God wants to find in you when He harvests you. Good
fruit is LIVING RIGHTEOUSLY, AND DEVELOPING THE CHARACTER AND LIKENESS
OF THE GOD FAMILY WITHIN YOU. If your heart is kind, loving, gentle,
etc…and you do not reject the Holy Spirit, (mind of God in you) God will
lead you to repentance of your sins, and God will keep you. The Holy
Spirit demands obedience to God and it is only through obedience that we
are even given the Holy Spirit. Acts 5:32 says, “We are witnesses of
these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who
obey him."
ONLY THOSE THAT ARE SUBMISSIVE AND OBEY GOD HAVE A GUARANTEE OF
INHERITANCE IN THE GOD FAMILY…Once we do receive a calling from God and
receive His Holy Spirit, God expects obedience and good fruit…and those
who don’t bear the GOOD FRUIT of God’s Holy Spirit will be of no use to
God, they will be weeds, chaff, and fruitless trees…and these will be
burned up! “Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and
thrown into the fire. So then, you will know them by their fruits.
Matthew 7:19-20 We do not already have this adoption by God nor do we
already have “immortality.” We must seek immortality by patient
continuance in doing well.
Romans 2:6-8 says, “(God)…will render to each one according to his
deeds": eternal life to those who by patient continuance in doing good
seek for glory, honor, and immortality” NKJV Not only must you seek
immortality by obedience, but also you must do good works. God instructs
men to seek immortality. He tells us that we must do it by “ patient
continuance in doing good.” Men do not automatically have
immortality…because no one seeks what they already have. It is our
mortality, which allows God to “test” our fruit and see if we have
developed into the image of God…This, is necessary for God to know about
us before He hands over power to anyone.
Christ’s death has already begun the process of casting Satan out…this
was part of the “work” that He had to do on earth. Christ is already in
the process of drawing the whole world back to Himself. Christ is
calling them back in “two harvests!” It is by no mistake that the Holy
Days picture the spring and fall harvest seasons of God. Those that
reject the Holy Days of God and those that refuse to keep them
(Leviticus 23) will never understand what God’s plan of salvation for
all man is.
1. The Spring Holy Days picture the smaller spring harvest of men, which
occurs at the return of Christ.
2. The Fall Holy Days picture the large fall harvest of Israel and the
great harvest of the “rest of the dead” at the Great White Throne
judgment.
And to think, that God worked out such an amazing plan for us. And,
without the unwitting co-operation of Satan, God could not have pulled
off the greatest STING ever, which might be aptly be called “OPERATION
SALVATION OF THE SONS OF GOD!” Satan hasn’t really destroyed anyone
except those that purposefully choose to remain the children of
disobedience.
