An Introduction

I was raised Christian (Pentecostal). One Sunday, when I was about 15 years old (in the year 1994 or 1995), I was in church with my mother, ...

Tweets - April 4th - Bat Kol

Response to Brent's tweet: https://twitter.com/bkherbert99/status/1643206689225596928

Did you know that these roars occurred so frequently in Israel in the first century that the Jews named the event. They called it, "Bat Kol", which means "Daughter of the voice".

I came across this info maybe a decade ago, reading on something in the talmud (I don't remember what I was looking for), and this "Bat Kol" caught my attention.

I haven't heard those roars since I lived in Beltsville, maybe 2007 or 2008. I likened it to standing under a rocket while it was taking off, because, besides the noise, you could feel the sound penetrate your bones. So I would say that even the deaf could hear God roar.

Heaven has had a very heuristic approach in the way that they instruct. We watch, we experience, we mess up, we experience, we mess up, we learn.

No one has ever commanded me to do anything. If that were the case, someone could have spared me from the mild food poisoning a few weeks ago by commanding me not to eat that sandwich that was sitting out in the sun for hours. We learn.

Besides the impact on our liberty as human beings, it's also quite risky for God or heaven to deliver commands - especially with all the lying devils on the loose and their eager prophets.

"It's OK for God to command us to do good." But we see what happens in this world when people's definition of "good" becomes objective and non-negotiable.

When I was sternly rebuked last summer, it caused me to examine myself over and over. But no one ever told me to do anything - not even in these last nearly 20 years. They have built in me the Garden of God through power and liberty.

If God is going to be so pissed that God roars and shakes the Earth, I find it difficult to think that it's because you haven't been speaking to Christians and their bad-mouthed prophets (who have been ignoring you for 30 years).

If anything, I find it more likely that God would roar because of the violence of those people and because someone like you needed to even speak to them in the first place.

But it does appear you associated your guilt of not speaking with the sound from heaven. I think that if there is ever a sense of urgency from heaven, it will be plainly and completely clear. If what happened is clear to you, then it is clear.

I make no true claim of knowing anything other than what I experience and what I witness. (This is not to discourage you - even if it were possible - from being honest with a dishonest people.)

As for me, I may join you in your pursuit of being honest with them, but I won't fight with them. And if they want to fight, I will be quiet, lie down, and let them have their punches and kicks.

I intend to go back to my roots and give people exactly what they ask for: You want rain? You will have rain. I want them to understand God as I understand God, even more clearly (assuming that what I want matters).
