ONE FAMILY PLAN
We ALL return...
"We live in accordance with our deep, driving desire. It is this desire at the time of death that determines what our next life is to be. We will come back to earth to work out the satisfaction of that desire. But not for those who are free from desire; they are free because all their desires have found fulfillment in the Self. They do not die like the others; but realizing Brahman, they merge in Brahman..." (Hinduism, Brihadaranyaka Upanishad 4.4.6-7)
"The craving of a person addicted to careless living grows like a creeper. He jumps from life to life like a fruit-loving monkey in the forest..." (Buddhism, Dhammapada 334-37)
Yes. We come back... but to what? The destination of the dead is the Lake of Fire for it is here in this furnace of affliction that we are refined. In essence we are one person, evolving from Adam the dead to the Living Adam- filled with dead bones or filled with the Living water for God is the God of the living. As we enter the Kingdom, or the Temple (within) we become a part of ONE Spirit. Previously we attempt to enter on our own merit, declaring our own selves God. It is here our man of sin (perdition) - the devil/satan/serpent/beast/false prophet is revealed in us all. We will continue returning until we are made perfect as He is perfect.
ONE BODY…
"For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office: SO WE, BEING MANY, ARE ONE BODY IN CHRIST, AND EVERY ONE MEMBERS ONE OF ANOTHER."
-Romans 12:4-5 (KJV)
IN Adam, IN Christ
"For as IN ADAM all die, so IN CHRIST all will be made alive."-1 Corinthians 15:22 (NIV)
Christ is the head…
“I will surely gather all of you, Jacob; I WILL SURELY BRING TOGETHER THE REMNANT OF ISRAEL. I WILL BRING THEM TOGETHER LIKE SHEEP IN A PEN, LIKE A FLOCK IN ITS PASTURE; the place will throng with people. THE ONE WHO BREAKS OPEN THE WAY WILL GO UP BEFORE THEM; THEY WILL BREAK THROUGH THE GATE AND GO OUT. THEIR KING WILL PASS THROUGH BEFORE THEM, THE LORD AT THEIR HEAD.” (Micah 2:12-13)
We come back (to the ‘lake of fire’). It is all over Scripture. We will continually come back as Christ did/does (Adam, Elijah, Moses – we are ALL God’s children) UNTIL we are perfected as Christ was/is perfected. When we have done it unto the least of these – because He is/was the least of these!
Re-embodiment
“…GOD HAS BOUND ALL MEN OVER TO DISOBEDIENCE SO THAT HE MAY HAVE MERCY ON THEM ALL.” (Romans 11:32, NIV)
God turns us to disobedience and destruction. How long? How many lives will it take for us to return? – Perfection is an art. It will not be obtained in one lifetime…
“THOU TURNEST MAN TO DESTRUCTION; and sayest, RETURN, YE CHILDREN OF MEN. For A THOUSAND YEARS IN THY SIGHT ARE BUT AS YESTERDAY WHEN IT IS PAST, and as a watch in the night. Thou carriest them away as with a flood; THEY ARE AS A SLEEP: IN THE MORNING THEY ARE LIKE GRASS WHICH GROWETH UP.” (Psalm 90:3-5)
Death after death, birth after birth…
The Living Water that now saves us is yet to fill the earth…
The Fire that purifies our hearts…
“…There are THREE THINGS THAT ARE NEVER SATISFIED, YEA, FOUR THINGS say not, It is enough: THE GRAVE; and THE BARREN WOMB; the EARTH THAT IS NOT FILLED WITH WATER; and the FIRE THAT SAITH NOT, IT IS ENOUGH.” (Prov 30:15-16, KJV)
“…HE IS ARROGANT AND NEVER AT REST. BECAUSE HE IS AS GREEDY AS THE GRAVE and like DEATH IS NEVER SATISFIED, HE GATHERS TO HIMSELF ALL THE NATIONS AND TAKES CAPTIVE ALL THE PEOPLES.” (Habakkuk 2:5)
Naked from the mother’s womb/Naked to the mother’s womb
“Then Job arose, tore his robe, and shaved his head; and he fell to the ground and worshiped. And he said: ‘NAKED I CAME FROM MY MOTHER’S WOMB, AND NAKED SHALL I RETURN THERE. The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away; Blessed be the name of the LORD.’” (Job 1:20-21)
“Is there anything of which it may be said, ‘See, this is new’? It has already been in ancient times before us. THERE IS NO REMEMBRANCE OF FORMER THINGS, NOR WILL THERE BE ANY REMEMBRANCE OF THINGS THAT ARE TO COME BY THOSE WHO WILL COME AFTER.” (Ecc 1:10-11) “The life of mortals is like grass, they flourish like a flower of the field; the wind blows over it and it is gone, and ITS PLACE REMEMBERS IT NO MORE.” (Psalms 103:15-16)
Elijah
“For all the prophets and the law prophesied UNTIL John. And IF YOU ARE WILLING TO RECEIVE IT, HE IS ELIJAH WHO IS TO COME. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!” (Matthew 11:13-15)
“He said to them, ‘What kind of man was he who came to meet you and told you these things?’ They answered him, ‘HE WORE A GARMENT OF HAIR, WITH A BELT OF LEATHER ABOUT HIS WAIST." AND HE SAID, ‘IT IS ELIJAH the Tishbite.’” (2 Kings 1:7-8) “Now JOHN HIMSELF WAS CLOTHED IN CAMEL’S HAIR, WITH A LEATHER BELT AROUND HIS WAIST; and his food was locusts and wild honey.” (Matthew 3:4)
Nebuchadnezzar
“Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that HE AS GOD SITTETH IN THE TEMPLE OF GOD, shewing himself that he is God.” (2 Thessalonians 2:4)
“The king spake, and said, IS NOT THIS GREAT BABYLON, THAT I HAVE BUILT for the house of the kingdom BY THE MIGHT OF MY POWER, and FOR THE HONOUR OF MY MAJESTY? While the word was in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, saying, O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken; The kingdom is departed from thee.” (Dan 4:30-31)
“you will take up this taunt AGAINST THE KING OF BABYLON…” (Isaiah 14:4)
“For thou hast said IN THINE HEART, I WILL ASCEND INTO HEAVEN, I WILL EXALT MY THRONE ABOVE THE STARS OF GOD…” (Isaiah 14:13)
“I will ascend above the heights of the clouds;
I WILL BE LIKE THE MOST HIGH.”
(Isaiah 14:14)
“Yet YOU SHALL BE BROUGHT DOWN to Sheol, To the lowest depths of the Pit.” (Isaiah 14:15)
“Let his mind be changed from a man’s, and let a beast’s mind be given to him; and LET SEVEN PERIODS OF TIME PASS OVER HIM.” (Dan 4:16, ESV)
“The sentence is by the decree of the watchers, the decision by the word of the holy ones, to the end THAT THE LIVING MAY KNOW THAT THE MOST HIGH RULES THE KINGDOM OF MEN AND GIVES IT TO WHOM HE WILL AND SETS OVER IT THE LOWLIEST OF MEN.” (Dan 4:17)
“And because the king saw a watcher, a holy one, coming down from heaven and saying, 'Chop down the tree and destroy it, but leave the stump of its roots in the earth, bound with a band of iron and bronze, in the tender grass of the field, and let him be wet with the dew of heaven, and let his portion be with the beasts of the field, TILL SEVEN PERIODS OF TIME PASS OVER HIM…’” (Dan 4:23, ESV)
“…TILL THOU KNOW THAT THE MOST HIGH RULETH IN THE KINGDOM OF MEN, AND GIVETH IT TO WHOMSOEVER HE WILL.” (Dan 4:25)
“And whereas they commanded to LEAVE THE STUMP of the tree roots; THY KINGDOM SHALL BE SURE unto thee, AFTER THAT THOU SHALT HAVE KNOWN THAT THE HEAVENS DO RULE.” (Dan 4:26)
Prisoners of the Planet
“And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth. AND THEY SHALL BE GATHERED TOGETHER, AS PRISONERS ARE GATHERED IN THE PIT, AND SHALL BE SHUT UP IN THE PRISON, AND AFTER MANY DAYS SHALL THEY BE VISITED. Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the LORD of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously.” (Isaiah 24:21-23)
“…‘God has delivered me from going DOWN TO THE PIT, and I shall live to enjoy the light of life.’ ‘GOD DOES ALL THESE THINGS TO A PERSON—TWICE, EVEN THREE TIMES—TO TURN THEM BACK FROM THE PIT, THAT THE LIGHT OF LIFE MAY SHINE ON THEM.’” (Job 33:28-30)
JESUS CHRIST
“But WHEN HE AGAIN BRINGS THE FIRSTBORN INTO THE WORLD, He says: ‘Let all the angels of God worship Him.’” (Heb 1:6)
“All creatures look to you to give them their food at the proper time.” (Psalm 104:27) “When you hide your face, they are terrified; WHEN YOU TAKE AWAY THEIR BREATH, THEY DIE AND RETURN TO THE DUST. WHEN YOU SEND YOUR SPIRIT, THEY ARE CREATED, AND YOU RENEW THE FACE OF THE GROUND.” (Psalm 104:29-30)
Yet one is born wicked and another filled with the Spirit…
“Even from birth the wicked go astray; FROM THE WOMB THEY ARE WAYWARD, SPREADING LIES.” (Psalm 58:3) “…and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit even BEFORE HE IS BORN.” (Luke 1:15)
“DO NOT GLOAT OVER ME, MY ENEMY! THOUGH I HAVE FALLEN, I WILL RISE. Though I sit in darkness, the LORD will be my light. BECAUSE I HAVE SINNED AGAINST HIM, I WILL BEAR THE LORD’S WRATH, UNTIL HE PLEADS MY CASE AND UPHOLDS MY CAUSE. He will bring me out into the light; I will see his righteousness.” (Micah 7:8-9, NIV)
“But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, THE FIRSTFRUITS OF THOSE WHO HAVE FALLEN ASLEEP.” (1 Cor 15:20)
“Then, behold, THE VEIL OF THE TEMPLE WAS TORN in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split, and THE GRAVES WERE OPENED; and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised; and coming out of the graves after His resurrection, THEY WENT INTO THE HOLY CITY AND APPEARED TO MANY.” (Matthew 27:51-53)
“See, I will create new heavens and a new earth. THE FORMER THINGS WILL NOT BE REMEMBERED, NOR WILL THEY COME TO MIND. But be glad and rejoice forever in what I will create, for I will create Jerusalem to be a delight and its people a joy. I will rejoice over Jerusalem and take delight in my people; THE SOUND OF WEEPING AND OF CRYING WILL BE HEARD IN IT NO MORE.” (Isaiah 65:17-19)
Land of the Dead: Back Again
“THE WICKED WILL RETURN TO SHEOL, Even all the nations who forget God. For the needy will not always be forgotten, Nor the hope of the afflicted perish forever.” -Psalms 9:17-18 (NASB)
“IF A MAN DIES, WILL HE LIVE AGAIN? All the days of my struggle I WILL WAIT UNTIL MY CHANGE COMES. You will call, and I will answer You; You will long for the work of Your hands.” -Job 14:14-15 (NASB)
“But someone will ask, ‘HOW ARE THE DEAD RAISED? WITH WHAT KIND OF BODY WILL THEY COME?’” (1 Corinthians 15:35 NIV)
“But GOD GIVES IT A BODY AS HE HAS DETERMINED, and to each kind of seed he gives its own body.” (1 Corinthians 15:38 NIV)
We keep returning UNTIL we arrive!!
"HIS SPIRIT GOES FORTH, HE RETURNS TO HIS EARTH; IN THAT VERY DAY HIS THOUGHTS PERISH." (Psalm 146:4) We are “…FULL OF DEAD MEN’S BONES…” (Mat 23:27) !!! “Ever learning, and NEVER ABLE TO COME TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH.” (2 Tim 3:7)
The BEAST comes back – OUT OF THE PIT to the Lake of Fire – Perdition…
“The beast that you saw WAS, AND IS NOT, AND WILL ASCEND OUT OF THE BOTTOMLESS PIT AND GO TO PERDITION. And those who dwell on the earth will marvel, whose names are not written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world, when they see THE BEAST THAT WAS, AND IS NOT, AND YET IS.” (Rev 17:8)
We the BEAST ‘of the sea’ are also the BEAST ‘of the earth’ [False Prophet] -
“Then the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who worked signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. THESE TWO WERE CAST ALIVE INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE BURNING WITH BRIMSTONE.” (Rev 19:20)
“They, and all that appertained to them, went DOWN ALIVE INTO THE PIT, AND THE EARTH CLOSED UPON THEM: AND THEY PERISHED FROM AMONG THE CONGREGATION.” (Num 16:33)
“And he said, Take them alive. And THEY TOOK THEM ALIVE, AND SLEW THEM AT THE PIT of the shearing house, even two and forty men; neither left he any of them.” (2 Kings 10:14)
Death AND the PLACE of the Dead [Hades] are cast back to the earth… The Lake of Fire… The Judgment… The SECOND DEATH…
“And as it is appointed for men to die once, but AFTER THIS THE JUDGMENT…” (Heb 9:27)
“And his master was angry, and DELIVERED HIM TO THE TORTURERS UNTIL HE SHOULD PAY ALL THAT WAS DUE TO HIM. ‘So My heavenly Father also will do to you IF EACH OF YOU, FROM HIS HEART, DOES NOT FORGIVE his brother his trespasses.’” (Matthew 18:34-35)
“The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. THEN DEATH AND HADES WERE CAST INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE. THIS IS THE SECOND DEATH.” (Rev 20:13-14)
“All creatures look to you to give them their food at the proper time.” (Psalm 104:27) “When you hide your face, they are terrified; WHEN YOU TAKE AWAY THEIR BREATH, THEY DIE AND RETURN TO THE DUST. WHEN YOU SEND YOUR SPIRIT, THEY ARE CREATED, AND YOU RENEW THE FACE OF THE GROUND.” (Psalm 104:29-30)
“THOU TURNEST MAN TO DESTRUCTION; and sayest, RETURN, YE CHILDREN OF MEN. For A THOUSAND YEARS IN THY SIGHT ARE BUT AS YESTERDAY WHEN IT IS PAST, and as a watch in the night. Thou carriest them away as with a flood; THEY ARE AS A SLEEP: IN THE MORNING THEY ARE LIKE GRASS WHICH GROWETH UP.” (Psalm 90:3-5)
“…TILL SEVEN PERIODS OF TIME PASS OVER…” (Dan 4:23)
“At the same time my reason returned to me, and for the glory of my kingdom, my majesty and splendor returned to me. My counselors and my lords sought me, and I was established in my kingdom, and still MORE GREATNESS WAS ADDED TO ME. NOW I, NEBUCHADNEZZAR, PRAISE AND EXTOL AND HONOR THE KING OF HEAVEN, FOR ALL HIS WORKS ARE RIGHT AND HIS WAYS ARE JUST; AND THOSE WHO WALK IN PRIDE HE IS ABLE TO HUMBLE.” (Dan 4:36-37, ESV)
