Paddock, Stephen

Terrifying Mass Murder in Las Vegas. “Pure evil?” But, “God is in control!” Is that so? Then, why did he not take action to avoid the killing of 58 people and the wounding of 527? Among 22,000 spectators at a musical show in Las Vegas, scenes of blood, screams of pain and horror, of hundreds of dead and wounded, of desperately running this way and that to escape from the bullets, or of valiantly remaining on the site to help victims. Minds without God: Stephen Paddock, Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Mao Tse-Tung, Pol Pot. Why does not God annihilate such evil ones before they act? Various reasons identified and analyzed. God has absolute control over his plan for humanity and the material universe. That plan includes ceding Satan and his agents on earth certain powers and allowing him to exercise them for specific purposes and limited times. Why? The suffering and premature death of innocents. Is God near people who vehemently reject him? Present on battle fields and places like Las Vegas? In the casinos of Las Vegas? How to have God not only near but also within. Secure and saved eternally! How to assure such an outcome.

Panic. Panic of soul in flight to either Paradise or Tartarus. Panic of Starman during the flight of the Falcon Heavy. Analogy between the Flight of the Falcon Heavy and the Flight of the Soul-Spirit, a series.

The tense flight of Starman to the First Orbit. The obligatory flight of the Soul-Spirit to the Frist Landing. Part 2 of the series: Flight of the Falcon Heavy; Flight of the Soul-Spirit. An analogy. Adaptable for classes, conferences or sermons. Ample text, with numerous points and applications. Includes an image (slide) in JPEG, with annotations on the sequence of graphics and texts. The Tesla car is the lustrous vehicle that Starman rides into space. Analogously, the physical body is the terrestrial vehicle by means of which the Soul-Spirit transports and manifest itself in the material world. Both perish in the material universe. Neither Starman nor a great number of human beings discern clearly the extremely important differences between their own natures and that of their respective vehicles. Some of these are pointed out and contrasted in this Analogy. Many humans conceive of themselves as animals, nothing more. The vision of Elon Musk and SpaceX goes far beyond just taking cargos into space. Space tourism. Colonization of planet Mars. God planned Earth to be humankind’s habitat. Does the obsession of some to leave Earth and establish outposts on other worlds contravene the plan and purpose of the Creator for humans? The ANGELS were assigned their own domain. Lucifer and his compatriots left it, with disastrous consequences. Judgement after death. Angels minister to those who inherit eternal life. Every Soul-Spirit has to ascend to the First Celestial Landing. Don’t PANIC! Every hour, 6,392 Souls-Spirits ascend to the First Landing. What happens there? Is your name listed in the Book of Life?

Paradise. Lazarus taken by angels to Paradise.

Alarming, Vivid and Unforgettable Impressions Registered by the Mind. ARTICLE. What has been, for you, the most impressive, traumatic or unforgettable impression of your life to the present time? Negative or positive. Some examples given. Snapshots the mind takes of events or circumstances that make an indelible impression and its power to remember almost every detail, remembering them with astonishing accuracy even after decades. A tremendous impression still awaiting you: Leaving the material-carnal Dimension and going through the Door of Time to the fully spiritual Dimension! Who are seen first? Angels! The testimony of Jesus Christ in His story of the rich man and Lazarus. Concise analysis and applications. Smiles and congratulations on the way to Paradise! But, not for the rich man. Five images illustrate this subject.

Alarming, Vivid and Indelible Impressions Registered by the Human Mind. PDF of this subject in tract format. Three folds; six pages, on letter size paper.

Part 3 The Unhappy Space Flight of Starman in His Tesla Roadster to an Encounter with Eventual Total Destruction. The Pleasant Flight of the Pure Soul-Spirit to PARADISE, its Second Landing in Celestial Places. These are the major subjects of Part 3 of the Analogy between the Flight of the Falcon Heavy and the Flight of the Soul-Spirit. Some life-orienting subjects and Bible texts are:

The form and appearance of the Pure Soul-Spirit when it puts off its earthly physical body and enters spiritual regions. The apostle Paul represents it as “naked.” Analysis of 2 Corinthians 5:1-8. “…clothed… not… naked.”

Does the Pure Soul-Spirit that has just left the deceased physical body have “substance and form?” Analysis of 1 Thessalonians 5:23. The meaning of “…the spirit” returns “to God that gave it,” in Ecclesiastes 12:7. In the case of the Soul-Spirit that has left the dead physical body, his right of free will is revoked!

The meaning of “…it has not yet been revealed what we shall be,” in 1 John 3:2.

The form, shape and appearance of God who is Spirit.

Locomotion of the Soul-Spirit just freed from the physical body. “…carried by the angels to Abraham’s side.” “My desire is to DEPART and be with Christ.”  “…I know that the putting off of my body will be soon.” After Souls-Spirits come out of deceased physical bodies, do they have self-locomotion? Actions preprogramed in the Soul-Spirit.

The Soul-Spirit of the person who dies “in the Lord” shall not come into judgment.” It “will not be judged.” This is what Jesus Christ teaches in John 5:25.

The jubilant Flight to Paradise!

Paradise! “What no eye has seen, nor ear Heard, nor the heart of man conceived…” “I know a man in Christ who… was caught up into Paradise...”

Where is Starman and the Tesla Roadster as of the present?

Many more commentaries and applications.

 

INNOCENT people died in Las Vegas! How horrible!” Context of their “innocence.” Personal innocence in the moral-spiritual context. The danger of calling innocent that which is not, or the person who is not. Are these innocent? Your evaluation of eleven examples. Human beings are very quick to publish their judgment of “innocent” or “guilty.” God is the only one with the innate right to establish criteria for innocence and make definitive judgments. The only truly innocent One. The status of babies, infants, preadolescent children, and adolescents. The status of good and just people who do not know God and his gospel. The status of those who, not knowing the true God and his law, do by nature what the law commands. The significance and application of The Lord knows those who are his. The case of the good who die prematurely. Their status after death. Reactions of family, friends, etc., who remain on the earth determined by their faith, or lack of it. Purpose of resurrections from the dead by Christ and his apostles. Is that you in the midst of that multitude? Does God recognize you there as one of his? Are you spiritually prepared to die there at any moment? Confident you soul-spirit would go to God’s PARADISE?

Peace of God

Much fear in the face of bad thoughts. What to do? The dilemma of a woman already baptized. Facing low flying, menacing storm clouds: A photograph from which important lessons are drawn for the control of bad thoughts. The purpose and function of the peace of God which passes all understanding: to keep the heart and mind. Eight beautiful, powerful words which cover the things we should think about. Fear cannot long stand before them. Severity to the body is not the solution. Strong willpower is a vital part of it. Why being baptized does not mean the end of all bad thoughts. Finding the ways of escape God provides for temptations and trials. Taking every thought captive to obey Christ is one of them.

SPANISH VERSION of this article

Pentecostalism, Pentecostals

Love. What Pentecostals love.

Can you tell me what love is? Truly, I want to know. Youth, Roman Catholic priests, Pentecostals and evolutionists give unsatisfactory answers. The author presents his credentials. Then, offers what he trusts will be a reasonable, consistent and encompassing answer, though not exhaustive. Bad loves. Good loves. Who to love. What to love. How to love with all your strength. Positive actions define love. So do attributes. What love sustains beyond the death of the physical body? What love never ends? How does your love compare?

 

Plan, counsel of God, mysteries of God, for humanity and universe

Terrifying Mass Murder in Las Vegas. “Pure evil?” But, “God is in control," says Max Lucado. Is that so? Then, why did he not take action to avoid the killing of 58 people and the wounding of 527? Among 22,000 spectators at a musical show in Las Vegas, scenes of blood, screams of pain and horror, of hundreds of dead and wounded, of desperately running this way and that to escape from the bullets, or of valiantly remaining on the site to help victims.

Prophecies

Revelation 17:9-10

The SIGN of the SEVENTH KING-KINGDOM-BEAST. Astonishing SIGN for modern times! Do you perhaps not have any knowledge of it? SEVEN KINGS-KINGDOMS-BEASTS. Five have fallen; one is, and the other has not yet come. The “OTHER” is the SEVENTH. “The seven heads... are… seven kings. Five of whom have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come, and when he comes he must remain only a little while.” Revelation 17:9-10. When does the Seventh King make his entry on the world stage? When did the Roman Empire really end? History perverted and the errors propagated by preachers, teachers and writers. Edward Gibbons, Will Durant and others testify. Relevant historical facts highlighted. The myth of a “Byzantine Empire.” The healing of the wound that seemed to be mortal and its significance for determining the end of the Roman Empire. The nature of the Seventh King-Kingdom-Beast. “…when he comes he must remain only a little while.”  The identity of the Seventh King. How the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics fills precisely the parameters of the prophecy-sign of the Seventh King. A prophecy fulfilled 1,827 years after it was proclaimed! Be on guard, citizens of the world, for the SIGN of the EIGHTH KING-KINGDOM-BEAST! one GOES to PERDITION! He is the last! He is also known prophetically as the “the LITTLE HORN.”

Luke 21:24

SIGNS taking place today in JEWS and GENTILES. ARTICLE. Are you aware of them? Are you a part of them? Do you not care? To IGNORE them is to risk future DANGERS! The potent sign in 1967 having to do with Jerusalem’s being trodden underfoot by the Gentiles until their times should come to an end. The liberation of Jerusalem from Gentile rule in 1967 is among the most important signs of all times. The event was publicly foretold by a Jew 1,934 years before its astonishing unfolding. God’s undying love for the Jews and how he has protected them from complete extermination foretold by a Jew of the first century. The fantastic vision given to another Jew about a multitude of Jews being rescued and glorified during the days previous to the end of the world and time. Gentiles. A mixture of sensual signs, libertine and rebellious, seen in masses of present-day Gentiles. Concisely identified. The omnipresent Sign of Mammon, mostly invisible to the very religious people who are responsible for its existence, though it is seen even by the worldly. Present, like a bird of evil omen, wherever the very false Prosperity Gospel is preached, tithes are collected, religious objects are sold, etc. The robust Sign of the False Prophet.

Prophecies, Doomsday and Catastrophism

End of the World, Rapture, Wrath of God, Final Judgment

Four Examples Published by National Geographic online, on the occasion of Harold Camping’s prediction for May 21, 2011

"Hale-Boppalypse" -Tragedy in Los Angeles associated with the appearance of the Hale-Bogg comet in 1997.

"Man-made Black Hole" -Some scientists feared the Large Hadron Collider might produce one that would consume the Earth. 

"1666: Judgment by Fire" -The Great London Fire. The number 666 and the wrath of God.

"Planetary Alignments: Doomsday Omens"

Catastrophism -End of the World, Rapture, Wrath of God, Final Judgment. Four examples published by National Geographiconline, on the occasion of Harold Camping's prediction about May 21, 2011. Subtle Insinuations that all Christians are more or less like Camping and his followers. The huge injustice of lumping all Christians into one category and judging them by the most scatter brained, infantile and hypocritical. "Our commentary" follows each of the examples. "Hale-Boppalypse" -Tragedy in Los Angeles associated with the appearance of the Hale-Bogg comet in 1997. "Man-made Black Hole" -Some scientists feared The Large Hadron Collider might produce one that would consume the Earth.  "1666: Judgment by Fire" -The Great London Fire. The number 666 and the wrath of God. "Planetary Alignments: Doomsday Omens" -The conjunction of various planets, the sun and the moon in the year 2000. Predictions of disastrous effects on the Earth.  May 31, 2011. The original version of this study was in Spanish.

Catastrofismo -Fin del mundo, Rapto, Ira de Dios, Juicio Final.

 


 

Prosperity gospel

Can you tell me what love is? Truly, I want to know. Youth, Roman Catholic priests, Pentecostals and evolutionists give unsatisfactory answers. The author presents his credentials. Then, offers what he trusts will be a reasonable, consistent and encompassing answer, though not exhaustive. Bad loves. Good loves. Who to love. What to love. How to love with all your strength. Positive actions define love. So do attributes. What love sustains beyond the death of the physical body? What love never ends? How does your love compare?

Puerto Rico

Hurricane Maria slams Puerto Rico with destructive winds and flooding. Fourteen photographs. How for help victims.

Punishment. Destructive Pheomena of nature as punishments.

Benefits of Hurricanes, Floods, Tornados, Earthquakes and Similar Phenomena of Nature. Benefits? What “benefits?” Rather, terrible losses! Nevertheless, one or another benefit. They educate regarding where not to build dwelling places, urbanizations, businesses, factories, etc. About materials and techniques to be used to avoid so much loss of material resources and lives. Lessons for the poor of the world. Warnings and lessons for impresarios greedy for excessive gain. “Nature” and “Common Sense” are very effective, sensible teachers. Prudent men and women build on a rock-solid foundation; the foolish, on sand or earth, without a foundation. Benefits and punishments without respect of persons. Hurricane Harvey: Punishment on Texas and Houston for the elections of 2016? Or on Houston for having an aggressive lesbian mayor for years? Punishments and lessons for the good and the bad. After the blows of destructive natural phenomena… many blessings! Many lessons! After times of wrong-living… sickness… death… possibilities for great blessings! Fleeing from hurricanes. Fleeing from temptations. Cursing destructive natural phenomena or learning from them? They lead to a fork in the road of life, with three options requiring a supremely important decision. Different faces of nature’s destructive monsters. Prepare in time and for the worst! A new World free of destructive forces!
