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, ...

The High Priest - Tweets - February 22nd

Retweet: "Something I've seen for quite some time now - it sure looks like me (Joshua being cleaned and corrected and allowed to stand in the house that was founded and finished by the hands of Zerubbabel). As for my friends, what are they a symbol of?"

I mention these attributes of Joshua by showing the commonalities, and I intentionally excluded the part of him being "the high priest" for that very reason. I don't shine so bright nor do I ever lift myself up in that way. My light, bright or dim, is God's glory, and not my own.

I should add that I didn't specifically say "I'm no high priest" because being a "high priest" means absolutely nothing to me. I kept it in Zechariah's message (since it's his message, and not mine) but I removed it when comparing myself to the man who was dirty, but washed clean

I really have to be mindful in how I come across in my writings. I really do myself an injustice by not doing so. I quote a text, and only put value in portions of it, but you don't know that. That's not good; I really have to be clear in my intent going forward.
----------------------------------
I used to resent older people for not knowing God, and not being in any position to counsel me concerning God. But I had to get over it. I'm left with giving out information that's often incomplete, because I am one person; though I have sincere counsel in the north (both norths)

And though I can share from my own wealth of experience, my wealth amounts to a few dollars in the bank (which I guess is more than what anyone else has in this place).

Zerubbabel and Joshua - Tweets - February 19th

Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of Yahweh, and the accuser standing at his right hand to accuse him. Yahweh said to the accuser, "Yahweh rebuke you! Is this not a brand plucked from the fire?"

Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments and standing before the angel. He spoke and said to those who were standing before him, saying, "Remove the filthy garments from him." Again he said to him, "See, I have taken your iniquity away from you and will clothe you with festal robes." Then I said, "Let them put a clean turban on his head." So they put a clean turban on his head and clothed him with garments, while the angel of Yahweh was standing by.

And the angel of Yahweh admonished Joshua, saying, "Thus says Yahweh, 'If you will walk in My ways and if you will perform My service, then you will also govern My house and also have charge of My courts, and I will grant you free access among these who are standing here.

Now listen, Joshua the high priest, you and your friends who are sitting in front of you — indeed they are a symbol, for behold, I am going to bring in My servant the Branch. For behold, the stone that I have set before Joshua; on one stone are seven eyes. Behold, I will engrave an inscription on it, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day. In that day, every one of you will invite his neighbor to sit under his vine and under his fig tree.'" - Zechariah the 3rd chapter

Something I've seen for quite some time now - it sure looks like me (Joshua being cleaned and corrected and allowed to stand in the house that was founded and finished by the hands of Zerubbabel). As for my friends, what are they a symbol of?

Who'd a thought, Zerubbabel and Joshua would be two queens twirling in God's Garden. None of these prophets saw it coming at any time; not one in any generation. These people have no idea of God's power.

They've been so blinded by their rules and their self-righteousness that they couldn't perceive God's plans thousands of years in advance; though all the signs were placed right in front of them. Obviously, God's olive trees would lean on liberty, and not be bound by commands.

2 spacecrafts flew overhead earlier tonight, but their lights were dim. It makes me think that maybe my own light has been dim.

I may shine a little, people glance as they pass by, but it may not shine so brightly that people stop in their tracks or drop their mouths in awe (as I did back in 1999 when that first spacecraft appeared and flew overhead that night while leaving Six Flags).

Here's another opportunity for self-reflection.

I don't know when God called me, but when God removed the veil, I was in my mid-20s. God said to me abruptly, "Hello", while I was still shaking my ass in DC gay nightclubs 4 nights a week, with a gin and cranberry in one hand and a Djarum Black in the other.

Have you ever had nightly conversations with angels while piss drunk? I don't know why God removed the veil at that particular time, but I imagine that even though I would need a steel-bristled brush to tackle my bad mouth and bad behavioral patterns, it was the appropriate time.

God separated me, and this forced me to think differently and critically; to accept a ton of change; to walk boldly; to be untrusting; and it forced me to be quiet (not that I was ever a chatterbox), so that when I did speak, every head turned to listen.

A mirror became my closest companion; I had to know myself, and I still do. And God became my guardrail and my path. So even though I have no idea where I'm going, I trust the destination because I trust the path; the journey itself has been... not boring.

I remember a few years ago when I asked God if Yeshua felt abandoned by God at the end of his journey, I received the response, "Yes" (with the light of a spacecraft). That abandonment feeling is never easy, but you instinctively know it's only in your head.

Cooperation - Tweets - February 5th

I was in Gatlinburg, Tennessee over the weekend, and the messengers of God flew overhead in several luminous spacecrafts. Seeing them made me consider the cooperation involved in every message given; when they embolden me, and when they warn me; even when they are silent, they are silent together in cooperation. Heaven and cooperation are mutually inclusive.

Big government destroys liberties, and big capitalism destroys everything else; neither of these systems require nor rely on cooperation.

Cooperation is key to ending poverty and starvation, injustices, extinctions, and pollution on this planet. The competitive nature of capitalism gives opportunity for the poorest of the poor to become wealthy, and it has gotten rid of many slums in many parts of the world caused by other failed systems - no doubt. The problem is that the competitive nature of capitalism REQUIRES that there be enforced poverty, and enforced unemployment, and slums and ghettos somewhere (this is known as "the ideal rate of unemployment"). Capitalism is so far from being "good enough". Capitalism does not thrive without poverty and oppression. If it did, you'd have employers begging for workers rather than workers begging for jobs (causing companies to raise the price of bread from $1 to $20 so they could attract workers by giving them higher pay - which would further create an unviable form of capitalism as it wreaked havoc on the economy). As a result, capitalism does not thrive without a weaponized police force to kill or incarcerate those who have been sacrificed for the benefit of capitalists (the poor). No one willingly offers themselves to be a victim of competition by slitting their wrists and laying down in some ditch - no - instead, they cry out, or they steal, or they sell their body, or they violently protest. Should we always blame the victim? Capitalism is an economic system that manufactures thieves and prostitutes - thieves and prostitutes don't manufacture themselves. As a result, all kinds of laws and enforcements are in place to tackle these "threats", when the threat, all along, was competition.

As for, "What should we do?", well that's up to everyone. There should be cooperation and justice. It will be better if we are able to start on the same footing (right out of the womb), then while having some sense of structure and organization, create our own paths in life.

Tweets - January 23rd

The resurrection of the dead is just that: the resurrection of the dead. It really has nothing to do with you or me at the moment as we are both alive. What we ought to be concerned with is the resurrection of the living, as this is what leads to salvation.

It is God's purpose, and not our own. As we are being saved, we are being healed, even unto the day our bodies are transformed into something humanly eternal. What God begins in our flesh now, you can be sure, God will finish in a remarkable way later; death is not required.

Chile, I am in this sweltering desert, but my roots are quenched by the Living Stream, and I am not worried about withering away.
---------------------

I don't think that God loves me any more than God loves anyone else, but God is able to display that trusting love in me and around me without the threat of me becoming prideful, or attaching to God all kinds of laws, rules, doctrines, sacrifices, and forms of worship.

God is able to love me without the concern that I'd exchange my humanity for the law of religion (and teach others to do the same).

If God were concerned, then I imagine I'd be confronted by awful situations, then receive bright-red warnings above, and if I still refused to be honest with myself (while teaching others to do the same), I'd get the swift kick of death just like everyone else in this place.

"On that day some Sadducees (who say there is no resurrection) came to Yeshua and questioned him, asking, “Teacher, Moses said, ‘If a man dies having no children, his brother as next of kin shall marry his wife, and raise up children for his brother.’ Now there were seven brothers with us; and the first married and died, and having no children left his wife to his brother; so also the second, and the third, down to the seventh. Last of all, the woman died. In the resurrection, whose wife of the seven will she be? For they all had married her.”

But Yeshua answered and said to them, “You are mistaken, not understanding the power of God. For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. But regarding the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living." ~ Matthew 22

There are 2 things here, one, Yeshua corrected their warped view of the resurrection, and two, Yeshua emphasized that the resurrection of the body is the only salvation of God (God is God of the living).

Yeshua said, "God is not the God of the dead, but of the living", and he meant it. If angels are invisible ghosts with wings, then Yeshua's message was pointless and makes no sense (as it makes God the helper and salvation of dead ghosts in spirit heaven, having nothing to do with the living resurrection). When you understand that "angels" are living breathing beings, as Yeshua understood, then you'll perceive his message a bit differently. God is God of the living; not of the dead, not of flying whispering invisible spirits, but of the living.

Marriage is yet another human law that man bound to God a very long time ago. There is no marriage in "heaven", but there is plenty of sex in "heaven". Marriage is not required for the woman to fuck her seven prior husbands.

God is still the God of Yeshua, as well as the God of every "angel" working alongside Yeshua.
