Chapter 10
As time continued to make its mark across creation, sin also made its
mark. Generations of man came and went, with each succeeding generation
growing worse in their depravity. Death had entered my creation, through
sin, and was now the shepherd of all mankind in place of its creator. As
sin enveloped creation, death and decay also ran rampant with its effect
causing entropy, as mans life span grew shorter and shorter. I soon
regretted creating man because every intent and thought in his heart was
continually evil. To watch man who was destined for glory, fall to such a
depraved state, broke my heart. In mercy, I decided the best thing I could
do for man was to destroy them.
In spite of all the evil that surrounded him, Noah still walked with me.
He was blameless and righteous and found favor with me. I decided to use
Noah to start over. I told him to build a big boat and gave him precise
dimensions on how to build it. I also told him that I was going to destroy
mankind and the earth with a flood. I loved Noah so I allowed him to bring
his wife and his 3 sons and their 3 wives along with him so that they
could replenish the earth after the flood. I also told him to bring a male
and female of every animal for the same reason. I gave him 120 years to
build this ark.
As the 120 years passed, Noah became a mockery to people as they watched
him building a boat where there was no water. Noah would never retaliate
but always used it as an opportunity to tell the people about me and what
was about to come upon them. This only made them revile Noah all the more.
At times, even Noah’s own family thought him to be insane. He couldn’t
blame them for he sometimes wondered the same. This will always be the
fate of men who choose to follow me instead of following other men. The
time had come, the ark was finished and not even one other person had
turned to me. I was so saddened by this that I manifested my tears in the
rain.
You must understand that before this moment, it had never rained on the
earth. I told Noah to take his family and enter the ark. I closed the door
behind them and opened the floodgates of the sky and opened the fountains
of the deep. It rained for 40 days and 40 nights until the entire earth
was flooded and all creation that I gave life, was no longer. The
fountains of the deep gushed forth with such intensity that the land broke
apart to form separate continents. As land crashed into other land,
mountains formed where there were no mountains before. Water gathered in
new places to form oceans and lakes and the earth lamented its fallen
state. After the waters had receded and it was safe to walk the earth, I
told Noah to take his family and the animals and to once again populate
the earth. I also made a covenant with Noah and the earth that I would
never destroy it again by flood. I put my bow in the sky as a
reminder.
Chapter 11
Generations passed as mankind once again rapidly grew. Unfortunately, not
much had changed. Man would soon go his own way and found no need for his
creator. The fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil was in
his DNA and his sin would pass down to each successive generation. From
the angels’ point of view, it seemed as if man was destined to live a life
of futility. From the demons point of view, man was enslaved with no hope
of redemption. But my point of view encompassed all of eternity past,
present and future and I have an eternal plan.
You see, it does not worry me as I watch Satan foil with man in his
feeble attempt to hinder me. I do not get anxious nor do I need to hurry.
I am not slow in enacting my plan. I do not count slowness as men do. I am
outside of time. A thousand years may pass in time as I write it in my
book, but it is like a day to me. Even as I write these lines, I look and
see that men have now gathered together as one to build a city and a tower
that reaches to heaven. This is not how to reach me. Man will never be
reconciled to me when they devise their own ways to reach me, no matter
how good their motives. There is only One Way to reach me and I have
provided that Way. If they would just call out to me, I would be with
them. I am not impressed with the things that they can do or achieve.
Their true motive is to make a name for themselves. If they finish this
tower, they will say, “Look at what we have done.” If they can accomplish
this much in such little time, there is no telling what they will do. I
think it’s time to confuse their language so they cannot understand each
other. I will also scatter them all over the face of the earth.
As their languages changed so did their customs and men separated each to
his own. Finding no need for me, they created their own gods from their
vain imaginations. Drifting further and further from me, they drifted
further from each other. From this point, man now kept within his own
tribe. Tribes grew into nations and nation fought against nation always
seeking after their own. Demons danced with delight as they led men, like
animals, with invisible chains. High- ranking demons were chosen as
principalities over the tribes and nations built by men. In the same
manner, men ruled over other men. As Satan built his world system, he
formed smaller systems within it to be managed by his highest-ranking
demons. There was a political system, a religious system an economic
system. Systems were added as needed. Soon after, men started building the
same systems. All were corrupt. All were a perverted imitation of what I
had created for angels and man.
Each tribe and nation had their own gods of their making. Impotent gods
feigning life as their demon princes saw the greater deception in letting
man worship false gods than in revealing themselves as their god. As long
as man had false gods, he would never see the true God. The religious
system flourished as superstition and fanaticism had free reign over mans
deluded mind. All of their superstition morphed into tradition and
this further separated man from me, and each other. At different
times throughout history, the religious system would dominate the
political system or conversely the political system would dominate the
religious system. They were both fueled by the economic system that they
both wished to control. All systems were fueled by the fruit from the tree
of the knowledge of good and evil. All of these systems will be allowed to
grow and to enslave man until that day when I come to free man and restore
him to myself.
Chapter 12
I have allowed Satan to set up his world system and I have allowed men to
divide into nations because it fits into my plan, my eternal plan. Nothing
I do is in response to something Satan or man does. My eternal plan cannot
be stopped or changed by any fallen angel or man. I have a special man
that I will form a nation from. They will grow in the midst of this world
system and I will be their God and they will be my people. It is to this
people that I will reveal myself and it is through this people that I will
come to earth to enact my plan. I will raise up certain men from my people
that will speak to my people for me and through them I will tell my people
how and where I will come and what will happen to me when I come. This I
will do so that they will recognize me when I come to them. Here comes
that special man now...I called to him.
“Abram.”
Abram stopped for a moment as if his thought were being interrupted.
Abram was a man not content. Although he was wealthy and had family and
friends, he always felt as if something was missing. He remembered the
stories that were passed down through the generations that spoke of Me and
he longed for something more than the false idols and gods of his
countrymen. He went through the motions but always felt that he belonged
somewhere else. He kept these thoughts and feeling to himself but
occasionally he shared them with his wife Sarai. The missing part of Abram
was about to be found.
“Abram.”
This time he stopped long enough for me to get his attention.
“Abram, I want you to leave this land and your family and I want you to
go to a land that I will show you. I will make a great nation from you. I
will bless you and I will be good to those that are good to you and be
against those that are against you.”
Abram looked around to see if anyone was there. He knew he wasn’t
dreaming and he knew he wasn’t thinking to himself. He knew he was alone.
What he didn’t know was who it was that was speaking to him. He pondered
this through the day and later that night he told it to Sarai. They both
agreed that maybe he was in the sun to long and the heat got to him. Abram
found that to be a better reason than thinking he was losing his mind. As
he lay in bed he could not stop thinking about this. He remembered the
stories he heard of Noah and how God had spoken to him.
“Well at least God is not telling me to build a boat.” He thought out
loud.
Sarai woke for a minute and said, “What did you say?”
“Nothing my love, go back to sleep.”
Abram did not sleep well that night. He came to the conclusion that if I
could speak to Noah then I could surely speak to him. Once again he
thought out loud.
“Since I am not content in this place and feel like an outsider and I do
not worship the false gods in this land then quite possibly the Lord is
leading me away from here.”
Finally, he fell asleep.
Abram woke early the next morning and excitedly told Sarai what had
happened and how I spoke to him and that they were going to pack up
everything and leave. She listened intently until he came to the part
about leaving.
“What,” she said. “What do you mean we are leaving? Where are we going
and for how long and why do we have to pack up everything? You are going
to have to come up with a better reason than God spoke to you.”
She kept questioning Abram, becoming more agitated with each question.
Abram understandingly interrupted her questions and calmly said.
“Sarai, Sarai, my love. Haven't I always taken care of you? You know that
I have and I always will. Please calm yourself and understand that I have
questioned this much more than you. You know how I have always longed for
something more even though I have not known where to find it. I believe
that our God is going to lead us to that place. He told me that He would
raise a nation from me and bless me. How could I not do as He said?”
“Abram, how is God going to raise a nation from you when we have no
children? Have you thought about that? Have you questioned your God about
that? This alone should make you question who or what you heard.”
“Yes Sarai, I have thought about that quite a bit and it is just as
concerning to me as with you. But when I think of Noah building a boat in
the middle of nowhere for 120 years and then see the outcome of it, it
makes me desire to have this kind of faith in God. And He is not just my
God Sarai. He is our God. If Noah didn't obey God then maybe none of us
would even be here. If I don’t obey God then maybe there will never be
this nation that God said He would raise. He will give us children if a
nation will come from me. We need to trust Him just as Noah did. Noah
didn't see the flood that was going to come, he just did as God said and
trusted God. We need to do as He says also and trust Him. It requires
faith to leave this place where we are prosperous and go to a place where
God will lead us. I do believe Him and trust what He says and you must
also. The least you can do is to trust me and we will see together.”
Sarai had calmed down and could see and hear the passion in her husband as he talked of God. Her questioning was now more in the way of agreeing with her husband than before. She even started thinking of what it would be like to have a child and she did want to please her husband. She was slowly starting to ease into the idea and when the thought of having a child overcame her fears of leaving, they left.
Abram was 75 years old when he left his country and I led him to a land
called Canaan, where he settled. I made a covenant with him there and
promised him an heir and told him to name his son Isaac. It would be
through Isaac that my covenant would continue through time and many
generations until I come to my creation. Abram was 100 years old when
Isaac was born. This man had waited 25 years, as men count time, to see my
faithfulness in my promise. Because Abram believed my words, I counted him
as righteous. I also gave him a new name of Abraham because he would be
the father of many nations. Sarai was now called Sarah.
Many years had passed and Isaac was now a young man and I called to
Abraham and told him to take Isaac his son, his only son who he loved, to
a mountain that I would show him, and to sacrifice Isaac as an offering to
me. I did this as a sign for future generations to recognize me when I
come and also to show the spirit realm the faith that Abraham had in
me. Abraham told Sarah what I had told him, this led to a very long
night for them both.
“Sarah, please stop. Why do you add to my distress by fighting with me?
Yes, I am sure it was the Lord speaking to me. It was just as the other
times before.”
“Abraham, I do not, I cannot, I will not believe you this time. You are losing your mind in your old age. You must listen to me and not the voices in your head. Surely God did not say this to you.”
My angels and I watched with great interest as Satan whispered into the
thoughts of Sarah the very words that loudly came from her mouth. It was
the same lie he used on Eve. This is why a husband and wife should always
be as one. Satan will always divide and conquer and try to thwart my will
by splitting a husband and a wife, by tearing apart what I have joined
together.
“Sarah, we have been down this road before. We both know the faithfulness
of our God. When He asks the impossible, then He will make a way. He is
the only way even when there is no way. Our part is to trust Him knowing
that all will be good, no matter how it looks to us. I have thought to
myself the very things you say to me. I want to run away from this but
don’t you think the same thing will be required from us at another time
and place but will be even harder then? We can’t go our own way this time.
Look at the mess we made before when we tried to help God out by having
Ishmael. That was our way, not His way."
“Abraham, you promised me that you wouldn't bring that up again.”
“You’re right, I’m sorry but you must understand that this is the only
way. Hasn’t everything that God has promised us come to pass? He also
has promised that a great nation would come from me and His covenant would
be carried through Isaac and his descendants. Do you understand what this
means? I’m not sure I fully understand it but I do believe that if God
requires Isaac as a sacrifice, then He will raise Isaac from the dead in
order to fulfill His promise. You must believe this Sarah. He has breathed
life into man so He is able to put life back into a man if he dies. It may
require the death of one for this new nation to be born. I’m not quite
sure how or why but I believe this to be true even though I struggle
within myself to complete it, yet I am compelled to do so.”
“My husband, the passion you speak with makes me want to believe you even
though I cannot. I speak with the same passion in order to stop you from
this madness but my words cannot move you the way our Lord moves you. I
once laughed because I was to old to conceive when God told you that we
would have a son, now it is His turn to laugh. It is a cruel God that
would require our only son and require his father to do it for Him.”
“I know that my words cannot comfort you Sarah but I hope that they will
give you hope. Ours is not a cruel God. He would not require from us
anything that He does not require of Himself. Let my words and His promise
sink deep within you. If you believe, you will see the glory of our
God.”
I knew that all through time men would question and condemn Me as a cruel
god just as Sarah had for this requirement. It was the custom in that era
for the ungodly to sacrifice their children to their false gods. But what
Sarah and many others didn't understand was that My ways are not their
ways. It was never my intent to have Abraham sacrifice Isaac but just the
opposite. This will now be a testimony through all of time that it is I
who will provide the sacrifice, once and for all.
This turned out to be the longest night in the life of Abraham and Sarah
but for Sarah, the next 4 days and nights would be even longer.
Abraham left very early the next morning. He loaded his donkey with
supplies for the journey and took 2 of his servants along with Isaac.
Sarah stood at the entrance of their dwelling weeping as they faded in the
distance. She was inconsolable and Abraham knew that if he had tried to
reason with her that she would prevail in preventing him from leaving. He
loved her deeply. He also asked me all that morning to reach her and
console her during the time of his journey.
Abraham walked very slowly the entire journey as if the slowness of his
pace would somehow prevent the task at hand. Isaac also noticed the
somberness of his father the entire time. Isaac had never seen his father
like this and although he was excited about the journey and had many
questions about it, he was quite reluctant to say anything. After a few
days of walking and not arriving at any destination, Isaac finally asked
his father where they were going and why he was so somber and why was his
mother crying when they left. He was starting to think that he would not
see his mother again.
Abraham knew that his son would eventually ask him all these questions
and was prepared with answers because for the past few days his thoughts
wavered between turning back and how he would answer Isaac. He tried to
focus on his answers and my promise so that he wouldn’t turn back. With
every step of faith that Abraham took, I increased his faith until he
started to see beyond what was right in front of him. He answered
Isaac.
“Isaac my son, I am sorry that I have not been myself on this journey.
Although it has only been a few days, it has been the longest and hardest
journey in my life. I do not know where we are going but the Lord will
show us when we get there just as He did when your mother and I left our
homeland to where we live now. I have told you all these stories many
times and I have raised you in the knowledge of our God. It is now time
for you to know Him for yourself by experience and not just by stories. He
has told me to take you to a place where He will lead us to and to
sacrifice to Him there. Your mother was crying because she didn’t know how
long we would be gone and didn't want us to go.”
“But father, why has this journey been so hard for you? I see how slow
you are walking. Are you not well?”
“The difficulty is not in the physical journey my son but in the anguish
of my soul. The Lord has required of me something that I am unable to do
in my own strength.”
“Father, I am strong now, I am not a little boy any longer. I can help
you with anything you need to do.”
“Yes my son, you will help but it is not your physical strength that is
needed.”
“I don’t understand. How will I be able to help and am I going to meet
God?”
“Yes Isaac, it is with certainty that I say that you will meet God and
you will begin your own journey with Him. You will be able to help me by
trusting me as you always have and by being obedient in what I ask of you,
as you almost always have. It is very pleasing to me as your father when
you trust me and obey me even when you don’t understand what I ask of you.
It is the same with God our Father. Yes my son, soon you will meet
God.”
It was now the third day of their journey and Abraham saw the mountains
in Moriah from a distance. It is here that their journey ends and another
will begin. Abraham told his servants to wait for them with the donkey
while he and Isaac would go further and worship and return to them. My
angels stood in awe of this man as he considered his sufferings to be
worship to me and his faith proclaimed their return. One of my angels fell
prostrate to worship also so I gave him the honor to go and walk with
Abraham and Isaac and to await my instructions.
Abraham took the wood that he brought and gave it to Isaac to carry.
Abraham carried the knife for the sacrifice and the tools to make the
fire. One of my angels asked me why Abraham had Isaac carry the very wood
that he would be sacrificed on. I told them all that Isaac is a clue for
the nation that would come from him, so they would recognize me when I
come to them. As they walked I could see Abraham trembling; it was then
that Isaac spoke.
“Father, I have the wood and you have the fire but where is the lamb that
we will sacrifice?”
This question struck the heart of Abraham deeper than the knife would
strike the heart of his son, his son that he loved so deeply. Abraham
replied.
“My son, God will provide the lamb for the sacrifice.”
They continued walking until they came to the place where I had led them.
Abraham built an altar there and arranged the wood. He then bound Isaac
and laid him on the altar on top of the wood. Isaac looked at his father
in shock and disbelief. What was happening was slowly sinking in on Isaac.
He started to kick and tried to get up and off the makeshift altar. He was
now crying as he said...
“Father, what are you doing? I don’t understand.”
Abraham could not contain his grief and sorrow any longer as he
desperately wanted to pick Isaac up and hold him and never let him go. I
have not seen such sadness in angel’s eyes since Adam and Eve ate the
forbidden fruit and were sent out of the garden. I gave Abraham the grace
that he needed to calm himself so that he could also calm Isaac. Abraham
gently caressed his son as his tears dropped to Isaacs face and mingled
together as if to signify the uniting of their hearts and will as one. As
Isaac looked into his father’s eyes he could see the love and faithfulness
that he had learned to trust with his life. In that moment Isaac knew that
whatever his father would do would be the best thing for him. He stopped
struggling. No words were necessary.
Isaac was a young man and could have easily overpowered his father and
gotten up from the altar but he chose to trust his father. Abraham knew
that if he hesitated any longer that he would not be able to finish. As he
raised the knife one of his tears landed on Isaacs heart as if to mark the
target. Isaac closed his eyes, as did many angels. Abraham was about to
thrust the knife when I had my angel call out to Abraham.
“Abraham, do no harm to the boy. Your reverence for God is evident in not
withholding your son, your only son.”
Abraham dropped the knife and fell to his knees. His weeping increased
but they were now tears of thanksgiving. He then pulled Isaac to him and
embraced him and kissed him over and over, their tears once again
mingling. Abraham untied Isaac and they sat holding each other for quite
some time. Their tears spoke more than words were able. My angels and I
sat in silence also, watching the beauty of the love between a father and
son. I thought of how much better it was for Abraham, to obey than to
sacrifice. I was also thinking of a time when I will enter my book, in
time, through the line of Abraham and Isaac. Unlike Isaac though, my
Fathers hand would not be stayed. The silence was broken when Isaac
said...
“Father, I heard a voice speaking but when I opened my eyes, there was no
one there but you. Who was speaking to you?”
“ My son, remember I told you earlier that you would soon meet God? Well,
you have had your first experience with Him. Now you must seek Him and
find Him and know Him for yourself. He has spared you this day so that you
will follow Him as I do. I will explain this further as we make our
journey home but we must leave this place quickly and return to your
mother with the good news.”
“I desire this very thing father and I want to hear all that you will
tell me. Let’s go quickly.”
As they got up to leave, Abraham noticed that a ram was caught by its
horns in the thicket. Although they both wanted to leave, they took the
time to take the ram and offer it as a sacrifice to Me and to worship Me.
I provided the ram. I provide the sacrifice for all. As they returned to
the two servants waiting, Abraham sent one of them ahead to tell Sarah
that all would return soon. Traveling alone the servant would be able to
return a day sooner. The next day Sarah stood at the edge of the camp and
watched all day. It was late in the day when she saw on the horizon three
figures approaching. She fell to her knees sobbing and worshipping.
Chapter 16
Time continued unabated and Abraham died and Isaac married Rebekah and
they had a son named Jacob and I continued my covenant through him. When
Jacob had submitted to my will I changed his name to Israel. Jacob had
twelve sons. I would use Jacob’s 11th son, Joseph, to continue with my
plan and I gave him special dreams in his young age. Whenever it is
obvious to Satan that I am using someone for my plan, he always tries to
thwart it by using others against my chosen vessel. Joseph became a
target. What Satan doesn’t understand is that whatever he is allowed to do
to my chosen ones, I will use it to strengthen my chosen ones to
accomplish my purpose. I use the pain and adversity in their life to draw
them deeper and closer to me. Sometimes this takes a long time but I am in
no hurry.
Joseph became the favorite of Jacob and his brothers hated him and became
jealous and wanted to kill him. They devised a scheme to sell Joseph in to
slavery. They told Jacob that Joseph had been killed and the loss of his
favored son had broken Jacobs heart. He was taken to Egypt and purchased
by a high- ranking official close to the Pharaoh. I was with Joseph and
was preparing him, through his many trials, to represent my character.
After a while Joseph was unjustly accused and put in prison so that I
could continue to transform him and prepare him to fulfill My purpose. I
gave him the ability to interpret dreams and through a series of events
over a long period of time, I orchestrated an opportunity for Joseph to
interpret some very disturbing dreams that I allowed the Pharaoh to have.
None of the magicians or wise men in Egypt could tell Pharaoh what his
dreams meant but Joseph could.
Joseph was finally called upon and taken from prison to Pharaoh and Pharaoh said to Joseph that he had heard that Joseph could interpret dreams. Joseph quickly told him that he could not but that I could. So Pharaoh told Joseph his dreams. Joseph knew that the dreams were describing a great famine that would devastate the land of Egypt and he suggested what needed to be done to prevent it. Pharaoh was impressed with Joseph and the God he served and made Joseph ruler over all of Egypt, second to only Pharaoh himself. Joseph was now a young man.
Seeing that his plan to destroy Joseph was foiled, a now enraged Satan
and his hordes went about the earth causing the famine to spread
everywhere. People came from everywhere to Egypt to buy grain from Joseph.
When Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent his sons to buy
grain. When they came to Joseph they didn't recognize him, as he was just
a boy when they sold him in to slavery and now he was a man. Joseph
recognized them and after some time he revealed himself to them and they
were in shock and fear and disbelief. Joseph comforted them and told them
that what they had meant for evil, I had meant for good because I sent
Joseph before them in order to preserve life. He told them to go back and
get their father and bring everything to Egypt to live and that he would
care for them. Jacob came and once again his 12 sons were all
together.
Many generations had now passed and Jacob and Joseph died and the people
of Jacob grew to a multitude and became very strong. The new king of Egypt
did not know about Joseph and all he saw was a people, who he called
Hebrews, that could turn against them at any time so he needed to get them
under control for fear of them. As the spirit of fear whispered in the ear
of the king, Satan devised his plan to enslave my people.
The king put taskmasters over them and sentenced them to hard labor but
they multiplied all the more. The king then instructed the Hebrew midwives
to put to death any son born of my people. The hard labor and slavery
continued for hundreds of years until I raised a deliverer from my people.
A baby boy was born and his mother hid him for a while but when she could
not hide him any longer she put him in a basket and put it in the reeds
along the Nile River.
The king’s daughter went to bathe in the river and she saw the basket.
She found the baby crying and had pity on him and took him as her own. She
named him Moses. I had favor on Moses so that he was shown favor in the
household of the king. As Moses grew, he saw the treatment inflicted on my
people by the Egyptians. He knew that his heritage was with my people and
he grew in resentment of the Egyptian people and was in constant conflict
within himself over this. On the one hand he was raised in privilege and
had everything he wanted but on the other, he couldn't just stand idly by
as such injustice was inflicted on the people that he came from. This went
on for some time as I continued to show favor to him.
Again, as Satan saw my favor towards Moses, he attempted to kill him. One
day as Moses witnessed an Egyptian mistreating one of my people, he became
enraged and killed the Egyptian and buried him in the sand. This news
eventually reached the king and the king now wanted to kill Moses. I
protected Moses as he fled to the desert far away from the king and from
Egypt. Once again, Satan had played into my hand as this is what I wanted
for Moses so that I could now resolve the conflict within him and prepare
him for My purpose. There were no longer any distractions from Egypt, only
the solitude of the desert.
“I think it’s been over 40 years now that I have spent in this desert. I
have a hard time even remembering my life of privilege in Egypt. All I
know now is my family and you”. Moses was talking out loud to himself and
the flock that he was pasturing. Life was pretty much the same day in and
day out for Moses. He wasn’t much for talking but he did enjoy leading the
flock and talking to them. I had a different, much larger flock in mind
that I wanted Moses to lead so it was time that I got his attention.
I set a large fire on a nearby bush but did not allow the fire to consume
the bush. Sure enough, Moses did a double take on the bush and then came
over to it to inspect it. I called to him from the bush and told him not
to come any closer and to remove the sandals from his feet because he was
now standing on holy ground.
Wherever I AM, becomes holy. I told Moses who I AM and told him that I
have seen the affliction of my people in Egypt and I have heard their
cries and that I am sending him to Pharaoh to deliver My people out of
Egypt. I also let him know that Pharaoh would not listen to him and would
resist him.
Moses took his family and left for Egypt and went to Pharaoh and told him
what I had said and sure enough, Pharaoh would not let My people leave
Egypt and oppressed them even more. I then allowed 10 plagues to be
inflicted upon Egypt and its people and instructed Moses to announce each
one to Pharaoh before they happen. Satan and his demons had a wonderful
time as they reveled in the free reign given to them to inflict such
destruction and misery. After each plague, Pharaoh hardened his heart more
and more towards My people and I.
It was after the 10th plague that Pharaoh finally relented. It was also
in this plague that I would reveal myself to My people and to future
generations. On this very night I would release the angel of death in the
land of Egypt to take the first born of all the people of Egypt. Death
will not be able to touch My people if they are protected by the blood of
the lamb. I told Moses to tell all of My people to take a spotless lamb
and to slay it and put the blood on the top and 2 sides of the doorpost.
As the angel of death goes through the land of Egypt to take all the
firstborn children, he will be prevented from entering any house that has
the blood of the lamb on the doorpost. He must pass over that house
because I will be there to prevent him from entering. This will become the
feast of Passover for My people and for future generations.
At the end of my book I put a very big clue to let my people know
something I did before I created anything or even started my book. No
created being has ever known of this event, which was outside of time and
in the eternals. Only my Father and I know of this event. This event was
when I first dealt with sin and death and took them upon Myself in order
to defeat them and to redeem My creation from them. I AM the lamb that was
slain before the foundations of the world. It was truly finished before I
ever created. Death was the prodigy of sin and Satan is the master of sin.
Neither Satan nor death are aware that they were defeated before they ever
came into being. There will come a day when I enter my creation and make
this event known to all. Until that time, I will give clues to some of My
people to share with all My people about when I will come and the
manifestation of this unknown event so that My people will recognize Me
when I come.
The lambs that are now slain by My people will be symbolic of Me, the
only lamb of God that has taken away the sin of this fallen world. When My
people put the blood of the lamb on the doorposts of their houses, it will
be symbolic of a time when anyone who accepts My sacrifice for sin, on
their behalf, symbolically applies My blood to their life, then death can
not touch them. Death must pass over them just as death must pass over My
people on this night.
My angels watched in horror as death walked unhindered across the land of
Egypt. Pride and Arrogance walked a safe distance ahead of death
proclaiming his rule upon all creation. Nothing created would dare
challenge death, as it grew stronger with every life it took. Satan
himself could not control this one. There are no words in any language of
man that can describe this one. It is the embodiment of all that is evil
and is the antithesis of all that I AM. It only comes to pay that which
has been earned by sin, its mother. It is only satisfied when one is
sucked into its being and enslaved by it forevermore. Its satisfaction is
always waning as its ever-increasing hunger to claim another fuels its
lust to conquer all. It knows no enemies, yet all are its enemies, though
nothing created can stand against it.
As insatiable death came to the area in Egypt where My people live, there
seemed to be an insidious delight that came over it. Raiment in the
darkness of its own being and absorbing anything in its path; death, the
shepherd of all mankind, boldly approached the first house in blind
ecstasy knowing that nothing created in heaven or on earth could stop it
this night. Unaware that I, uncreated Life, stood at the doorway with my
head at the top of the doorway and my arms outstretched to each side where
the blood of the lamb was applied, death attempted to enter the house. It
encountered unapproachable Light and the embodiment of darkness could not
comprehend or overpower My Light. It was thrown backwards and fell down as
a for-telling to my angels of its fate. It is a simple truth that my
people must learn that pride goes before destruction and a haughty spirit
before a fall. The cacophony of praises from pride and arrogance was
silenced by the pitiful, tantrum like cry from death as its sense of
entitlement was threatened for the first time ever.
As death slowly recovered from its fall, bewildered by what it was that
it encountered and expecting to see a legion of my angels that it would
take pleasure in destroying for having the audacity to even presume that
they could stop it; I allowed it to approach Me once again as pride and
arrogance resumed their delusional praises. With a look of disgust and
perplexity and now filled with hubris, death defiantly and mockingly yells
out for all the spirit realm to hear...
“You, the only Son of the Living God, dare to come into my domain and
then compound such foolishness by trying to stop me? I am death. I am lord
over all. All bow to me. None can resist me or stop me. Your feeble
creation has chosen me over you and they delight in sin almost as much as
I delight in their fear and futile resistance of me. They are rightfully
mine and when I am finished here with this physical realm, I will come
after you and your companions in the spiritual realm. I am certain that
you have hidden yourself from me for this very reason. You are no threat
to me and if you remain in my domain, I will take you now. Get out of my
way before I destroy you now.”
“Death, you speak with the pride of Satan who ushered sin into my
creation and with the arrogance of sin who ushered you into my creation.
Such an unholy trinity you are. How does one who knows so little become so
boastful?”
“What do you mean? I am death. I know all things and all things belong to
me.”
“You do not know all things. Why is it that you cannot enter into this
house? Why is it that you will not enter any of My peoples houses that
have the blood of the lamb on it?”
Instantly death was at another house but I was there before it. As it
tried to enter, it was thrown back once again. It tried several more
houses with the same outcome and then I approached death and said...
“I command you death to pass over every house that has the blood of the
lamb on it. There will be no victory for you here tonight for I have
removed your sting from the midst of my people. You are unaware of our
fist meeting but there will be a time when I enter my creation as a man
and I will call you to Myself and we shall meet again when time intersects
with eternity. Until then, you will have your way. No, death, you do not
know all things.”
