Rapture, The Way of Salvation
The Fear Of The Lord,
--Is the beginning of Wisdom,
And The Knowledge Of The All-Holy,
--Is Understanding.
It snowed that night, the morning of January 9, 1978 when I awakened in total darkness. The way to the light was well known to me though, having traveled it since boyhood. I made my way as I had always done, conscious of the distance of my steps to the wall where the light was; with outstretched hand. Yet still, I found it not. Traveled further, --still nothing. Panicky, moving faster, with outstretched hands; finally in terror, --running; then a feeling of great descent, the darkness was overwhelming. At last my descent ended and there seemed to be a sort of small bluish light, as from a gas flame, though not illuminating. There were sounds emanating from there as the sound of speech, and this only served to frighten me all the more. Throughout this, my terror was without bounds, and my heart, which never had beaten with such an intensity, was nearing the end of its journey also. Throughout my descent, I screamed For G-d To Save me, But He Heard me Not. Finally, at the end of my descent, in desperation, I implored, with the words, 'Help me Jesus'. Instantly I felt A Lifting of my arm, And Ascent Of Great Speed. I Came To Rest In A Room Filled With The Most Magnificent Light Which Had A Warmth About It. The Source Of The Light Was Emanating From The One I had called, 'Jesus', though whether this was His Name Or Not, I do not know, but I stood Before Him Now in awe, For He Had The Form of a man, But Not of flesh. If I Might Describe It in my limited understanding, I Would Only Be Able To Say, 'He Seemed To Be Of Energy', For The Light He Put Forth. It Was As If He Were Translucent, As Sand-Blasted Glass, And His Garments Of Same. But The Light Was Never as the light I had ever seen, not from anything illuminated from the sun, which had not This, --His Warmth, but not of heat. He Called Out For Another, Yet His Lips Never Moved; And I Heard Him Not with my ears, But In my heart; A Kind Of Telepathy. G-d Came In Haste When He Called, Through A Closed Door From The North. I stood, still facing west, where the light had been in my room, And Now They Both Stood before me. They Had The Same Appearance About Them, Only Not Identical, like I and my father, both of flesh, but not identical. I stood Now Before Them In Judgment, as when I was a small child in trouble at school, and brought by the teacher to the principal. They Discussed Between Them What Would Be Done with me, yet I could not hear That Discussion. I only knew that It Was Taking Place. Like an infant hearing speech, but perceiving it not. There was no point in defending myself with words, because I was An Open Book To Them; They Knew my heart, I could conceal nothing From Them. Yet I was not able To Perceive Their Discourse When They Had Not Revealed It to me. G-d Had Closed His Ears to me In The Same Manner during my life, and my descent into the pit; this because of my sins which were Grievous To Him. If it is thus on Judgment Day: The sheep of this world Shall Be Set Before G-d On His Right Hand, And the goats On His Left Hand... Yet Did The One I had Called Jesus Stand With G-d, Both Facing East, G-d At The South, Jesus To The North, and I To The North Of Both Of Them, facing west. I was To The Left, and in the place of goats. All that I was, --am, --or ever shall be Was Judged. That I stood not Directly Before G-d, was Evidence Of His Great Contempt for my actions, And I Was Numbered with the transgressors that are to come On Judgment Day. My Judgment Now Concluded; --though I knew not What The Judgment Was, but I found myself back in my room, still facing west, and I was not dead. I lifted my hand, and instantly reached the light. I was standing before it. I opened my unread Torah at several indiscriminate locations throughout The Book, and every passage seemed to be, '--Lest I go down like them that go down into the pit'. This I now had firsthand knowledge of. Finally I came to a passage, 'Curd and honey shall he eat when he learns to refuse the evil and choose the good'. These were both in the house, so I did eat, and they were good. I continued reading 'till morning. Where It Was In Heaven That They Existed, There Was No Other Than They, for all else Was Below Them in the pit. If It Was Jesus, or Enoch, Whom I stood Before, Then He Is The First man To Be Resurrected, To Stand In The Presence Of G-d, for there was no other There. --At this Writing, thirty years later, the passage of time seems inconsequential as I Know It To Be For Everlasting regarding This Journey To: Rapture, The Way of Salvation.
It is the blood that feeds the body;
Yet,
It Is The Light That Nourishes the soul.
SURA 2.257 Let there be no compulsion in Religion. Now is The Right Way Made Distinct from error. Whoever therefore Shall Deny Evil And Believe In G-d--he will Have Taken Hold On A Strong Handle That Shall Not Be Broken: And G-d Is He Who Heareth, Knoweth.
2.258 G-d Is The Patron of believers: He Shall Bring them Out of darkness Into Light:
2.259 As to those who Believe Not, their patrons are devils: they shall bring them Out Of Light into darkness: they Shall Be Given Over to the fire: And there Shall they Abide For Ever.
2.260 Hast thou not thought on him who disputed with Abraham about his Lord, because G-d Had Given him the kingdom? When Abraham said, "My Lord Is He Who Maketh Alive And Cause To Die:" He said, "It is I who make alive and cause to die!" Abraham said, "Since G-d Bringeth the sun From the East, do thou, then, bring it from the West." The infidel Was Confounded; for G-d Guideth Not the evil doers:
2.261 Or How He Demeaned him who passed by a city which had been laid in ruins. "How," said he, "Shall G-d Give Life to this city, after she hath been dead?" And G-d Caused him To Die for an hundred years, And Then Raised him To Life. And G-d Said, "How long hast thou waited?" He said, "I have waited a day or part of a day." He Said, "Nay, thou hast waited an hundred years. Look on thy food and thy drink; they are not corrupted?; and look on thine ass: We Would Make thee A Sign unto men: And look on the bones of thine ass, How We Will Raise them, Then Clothe them with flesh." And When This Was Shewn to him, he said, "I Acknowledge that G-d Hath Power To Do All Things."
2.262 When Abraham said, "O Lord, Shew me How Thou Wilt Give Life to the dead!" He Said, "Hast thou Not Believed?" He said, "Yes; but I Have Asked Thee, That my heart May Be Well Assured." He said, "Take, then, four birds, and draw them towards thee, and cut them in pieces; then place a part of them on every mountain; then call them and they shall come swiftly to thee: And Know thou That G-d Is Mighty, Wise!"
Genesis 15.7 And He Said unto Abram: 'I Am The Lord That Brought thee Out of Ur of the Chaldees, To Give thee this land to inherit it.' 8 And he said: 'O Lord G-D, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it'? 9 And He Said unto him: 'Take Me a heifer of three years old, and a she-goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtle-dove, and a young pigeon.' 10 And he took Him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each half over against the other; but the birds divided he not. 11 And the birds of prey came down upon the carcasses, And Abram drove them away.
12 And it came to pass, that, when the sun was going down, A Deep Sleep Fell Upon Abram; And Lo, A Horror Of Great Darkness, Fell Upon him.
13 And He Said Unto Abram: 'Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years; 14 And Also that nation, whom they shall serve, Will I Judge; And Afterward Shall they Come Out with great substance. 15 But thou Shalt Go to thy fathers In Peace; thou Shalt Be buried In A Good Old Age. 16 And in the fourth generation they Shall Come Back hither; for the iniquity of the Amorite is not yet full.' 17 And It Came To Pass, that the sun went down, And There Was Thick Darkness, Behold A Smoking Furnace, And A Flaming Torch That Passed Between these pieces. 18 In that day The Lord Made A Covenant with Abram, Saying: 'Unto thy seed Have I Given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates; 19 the Kenite, and the Kenizzite, and the Kadmonite, 20 and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Rephaim, 21 and the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Girgashite, and the Jebusite.
Exodus 33.17 And The Lord Said unto Moses: 'I Will Do This Thing Also that thou hast spoken, For thou Hast Found Grace In My Sight, And I Know thee by name.' 18 And he said: 'Show me, I pray Thee, Thy Glory.' 19 And He Said: 'I Will Make All My Goodness Pass Before thee, And Will Proclaim The Name Of The Lord Before thee; And I Will Be Gracious to whom I Will Be Gracious, And Will Show Mercy on whom I Will Show Mercy.' 20 And He Said: 'Thou Canst Not See My Face, For man Shall Not See Me and live.' 21 And The Lord Said: 'Behold, There Is A Place By Me, And thou Shalt Stand upon the rock. 22 And It Shall Come To Pass, While My Glory Passeth By, That I Will Put thee in a cleft of the rock, And Will Cover thee With My Hand Until I Have Passed By. 23 And I Will Take Away My Hand, And thou Shalt See My Back; But My Face Shall Not Be Seen.'
Exodus 34.27 And The LORD Said unto Moses: 'Write thou These Words, For After The Tenor Of These Words I Have Made A Covenant with thee and with Israel.' 28 And he Was There With The Lord forty days and forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he Wrote Upon The Tables The Words Of The Covenant, The Ten Words. 29 And It Came To Pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai With The Two Tables Of The Testimony in Moses' hand, When he came down from the mount, that Moses knew not that the skin of his face Sent Forth Beams (of light reflected) While He Talked With him. 30 And when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, Behold, the skin of his face Shone; and they were afraid to come nigh him. 31 And Moses called unto them; and Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation returned unto him; and Moses spoke to them. 32 And afterward all the children of Israel came nigh, and he Gave them In Commandment All That The Lord Had Spoken with him in mount Sinai. 33 And when Moses had done speaking with them, he put a veil on his face. 34 But When Moses Went In Before The Lord That He Might Speak With Him, he took the veil off, until he came out; and he came out; And Spoke unto the children of Israel That Which he Was Commanded. 35 And the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, That the skin of Moses' face Shone; and Moses put the veil back upon his face, Until he Went In To Speak With Him.
Revelation 20.4 And I saw Thrones, And They Sat Upon them, And A Judgment Was Given Unto Them: and the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness Of Jesus, And For The Word Of G-d, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; And they Lived And Reigned With Christ a thousand years.
5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This Is The First Resurrection:
6 Blessed And Holy Is he That Hath Part In The First Resurrection: On Such the second death hath no power, But they Shall Be Priests Of G-d And Of Christ, And Shall Reign With Him a thousand years.
7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan Shall Be Loosed out of his prison,
8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom, as the sand of the sea.
9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed The Camp Of The Saints about, And The Beloved City: And Fire Came Down From G-d Out Of Heaven, And Devoured them. (This is Judgment Day)
10 And the devil that deceived them Was Cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, with the beast and the false prophet, And Shall Be Tormented day and night For Ever And Ever.
11 And I Saw A Great White Throne, And Him That Sat On It, From Whose Face The Earth And The Heaven Fled Away; And There Was Found No Place for them.
12 And I Saw the dead, small and great, Stand Before G-d; And The Books Were Opened: And Another Book Was Opened, Which Is, Of Life: And the dead Were Judged Out Of Those Things Which Were Written In The Books, According To their Works.
13 And the sea Gave Up the dead which were in it; and death and hell Delivered Up the dead which were in them: And they Were Judged every man According To their Works.
14 And death and hell Were Cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
15 And whosoever Was Not Found Written In The Book Of Life Was Cast into the lake of fire.
Revelation 21.1 And I Saw A New Heaven And A New Earth: for the first heaven and the first earth Were Passed Away; and there was no more sea.
2 And I John Saw The Holy City, New Jerusalem, Coming Down From G-d Out Of Heaven, Prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I Heard A Great Voice Out Of Heaven Saying, Behold, The Tabernacle Of G-d Is With men, And He Will Dwell With them, And they Shall Be His people, And G-d Himself Shall Be With them, And Be their G-d.
4 And G-d Shall Wipe Away All tears from their eyes; And there Shall Be No More death, Neither sorrow, Nor crying, Neither Shall There Be Any more pain: For the former things Are Passed Away.
5 And He That Sat Upon The Throne Said, Behold, I Make All things New. And He Said unto me, 'Write: For These Words Are True And Faithful'.
6 And He Said unto me, 'It Is Done. I Am Alpha And Omega, The Beginning And The End. I Will Give unto him that is athirst, of the fountain of the water of life, Freely.
7 He that overcometh Shall Inherit All things; And I Will Be his G-d, And he Shall Be My Son.
8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, Shall Have their Part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death'.
Daniel 12.1 And At That Time Shall Michael Stand Up, The Great Prince Who Standeth For the children of thy people; and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation, even to that same time; And At That Time thy people Shall Be Delivered, every one That Shall Be Found Written In The Book. 2 And Many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth Shall Awake, some To Everlasting Life, And some To Reproaches And Everlasting Abhorrence. 3 And they that are wise Shall Shine, as the brightness of the firmament (sky); And they That Turn the many To Righteousness, (Shall Shine) as the stars, for ever and ever.
It was not until the death of Pope John Paul II however that I first came in the presence of Satan. A successor had just been chosen to John Paul, and I could see in a dream, celebration and noise in the land of the living, under the sun. And I descended to the highest point of the land of death. It was there that I observed Mother Theresa lying upon a stone slab, too weak to move, and she was being attended by a very caring John Paul. Yet was Satan there also to torment them. There behind me now! --I reached behind to lay hand on his throat, but he was gone. He was considerably taller than a man, maybe six and a half feet, and his face I later saw in a book, had the semblance of a flying fox, or fruit bat of India. I had another chance at him in a dream on a different occasion. This time he had taken the form of a man, and of average stature. My hands found his throat, I started to squeeze, suddenly stopping with the realization, I could not prevent evil and suffering in this way, as it Was Ordained to be, and must needs run its course. I released him. I offered the man Salvation instead. On two separate occasions I offered it, and was refused.
If he would but say:
FIRST UNITY
I did Strive with G-d;
I am Christian towards men;
I will be Submissive to G-d.
Only when men choose, themselves, to refuse evil, and devote their energies to helping each other survive, can this change take place. Satan is not the enemy of man, --man is the enemy of man. He performs Satan's work for him daily, by exacting usury on his brother; and all things treasured, and Sacred, and irreplaceable, come to pay for usury. Whether Jew, Christian, or Muslim, --all Are Forbidden, yet the skyscrapers of all the cities of the world are all built upon usury, always on the backs of the poor, for the wealthy always have options for not paying. Usury is procured for them, not from them. Though, never do they consider how it is the poor have gotten in these circumstances. It is always their own fault. They just didn't make the right life choices! Little did they consider that these choices weren't offered to them. Those that did consider it, didn't know how, or didn't care to try to break the cycle, being themselves the beneficiaries of it. The 'low lifes' are just lazy and don't work hard enough. But the wealthy, with few exception, all got their money through hard work and sacrifice, and the poor, did this to themselves.
PROVERBS 10.15
The rich man's wealth is his strong city;
The ruin of the poor is their poverty.
SURA 2.276 They who swallow down usury, Shall Arise In The Resurrection only as he ariseth whom Satan hath infected by his touch. This, for that they say, "Selling is only the like of usury:" and yet G-d Hath Allowed selling, And Forbidden usury. He then who When This Warning Shall Come to him From his Lord, Abstaineth, Shall Have Pardon for the past, And his lot Shall Be With G-d. But they who return to usury, Shall Be Given Over to the fire; And there Shall they Abide For Ever.
2.277 G-d Will Bring usury To Nought, But Will Increase Alms with usury, And G-d Loveth no infidel, or evil person. But they Who Believe And Do the things that are Right, And Observe the Prayers, And Pay The Legal Impost, they Shall Have their Reward With their Lord: No Fear Shall Come on them, Neither Shall they Be Put To Grief.
2.278 O Believers! Fear G-d and abandon your remaining usury, If ye are Indeed Believers.
2.279 But If ye Do It Not, Then Hearken For War On The Part Of G-d And His Apostle: Yet If ye Repent, ye shall have the principal of your money. Wrong not, and ye shall not be wronged.
2.280 If any one find difficulty in discharging a debt, then let there be a delay until it be easy for him: but if ye remit it as Alms it will be better for you, if ye but knew it.
2.281 Fear The Day Wherein ye Shall Return To G-d: Then Shall every soul Be Rewarded according to its desert, and none shall have injustice done to them.
SURA 2.285 The Apostle Believeth In That Which Hath Been Sent Down From his Lord, As Do The Faithful also. Each one Believeth In G-d, And His Angels, And His Books, And His Apostles: we make no distinction between any of His Apostles. And they say, "We Have Heard And we Obey Thy Mercy, Lord! For Unto Thee Must we Return."
Poverty and Disease
Many's the man,
Who got the cat;
Who got the shingles,
By eating the rat.
-Cats don't get shingles.

He only is Christ (Savior) Who Does The Work To Make Peace And Salvation, But Also Succeeds With It.
Moses Came and Did The Work, but did not Succeed With It.
Jesus Came and Did The Work, but did not Succeed With It.
Muhammad Came and Did The Work, but did not Succeed With It.
None Can Succeed With It Truly, For Not All men Can Be Saved.
What purpose to have a lake of fire, hell, and Eternal Damnation if there were none To Be Cast into.
There Is Salvation For All men,
Only As All men Accept The Salvation.
Yet There Never Was A Savior Come, Nor Will Come, Who Can Save All men, For Not All men Will Accept It.
All therefore, Is In The Way Of Salvation, not how many Are Actually Saved.
Then Moses, And Jesus, And Muhammad, And Countless Others, Succeeded In The Way, but not in the number. The most extreme example was Enoch, for among all who ever lived, he only Obtained Salvation for himself.
What does it take To Change the heart of a man?
The Fear Of The Lord,
--Is to hate evil,
And The Completion Of Wisdom,
--Is Peace on Earth.
