Chapter 9

Things Old and New

Now if you can understand the things that we have shared so far, then let us give thanks to God for His good grace and tender mercy by which we have come to enlightenment.

I would at this time like to briefly touch upon Chapter 8. This will set up the pattern that leads into this chapter.

After saying the parables in Mat. Chapter 13, Jesus asked if the things that He had spoken about were understood, Mat. 13-51, "Have you understood all these things?" They answered, 'Yes.' Then Jesus said to them, "So then, every Scribe (writer) instructed in the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who brings forth from his storeroom things old and new."

So everyone who has been instructed in the kingdom of heaven, (which is within) has passed into the gate that leads to interior life and in that dwelling place they have built a home on rock. They are the householders who come out from the gate of interior life, into the world. They bring with them the intructions (or knowledge or enlightenment) that they have gathered up in their storeroom.

Now just as a householder would go into a storeroom to gather food to be served, so then is the Scribe. He stores the word of God, which is the food for the spirit. The Scribe then having come back into this world offers to this world the spiritual food, which is stored in his storeroom, both old and new.

In 2 Peter Chapter one, Peter is telling others about what he witnessed in regards to Jesus Christ. He tells them in verse 19, "You will do well to listen to this, as a lamp shining in a dark place." As we have learned, "you are the light of the world" and "you do not put a lamp under a measure but upon a lamp stand so it shines on all the house;" so then what Peter is saying is "as a light shining in a dark place." The dark place is the world that is blind to the kingdom of heaven.

Peter continues in verse 19, telling us that, "The lamp that is shining in a dark place, it shines until the day dawns, (this is when we who are living in the world are no longer blind to the kingdom of heaven) and the Morning Star, (Jesus) rises in our hearts." Peter continues in verses 20-21, "First of all you must understand this, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one's own interpretation, because no prophecy ever came by the will of men, but men moved by the Holy Spirit."

The things written in The Naturual Order are mostly Scriptures which often times deals with prophecy or parables. So that the reader knows The Natural Order is based on Scripture, I often give the location of the Scripture for those who choose to locate it in their Bibles. I am not trying to interpret Scripture. Peter verses 20-21 tells us, "Prophecy of Scripture is not a matter of one's own interpretation..." I can only hope that I stay true to that course. I write about these Scriptures and parables based upon many years of studying both Scripture and world current events. What is written below is a personal possible theory based on that study of Scripture and current event and not necessarily the views of the Church.

Jesus told his apostles in Mat. 9-37-38, "The harvest is indeed great, but the laborers are few. Pray therefore the Lord of the harvest to send forth laborers into the harvest."

The following are things both old and new.

Revelation Chapter 13, we are told of the beast of the earth. Verses 16-18, tells of a grim time to come, "And it shall cause all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor and the free and the bold, to have a mark on their right hand, or on their forehead and it will bring it about that no one will be able to buy or sell, except him who has the mark, either the name of the beast, or the number of its name. Here is wisdom let he who understands calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man; and its number is six hundred sixty six, (666)."

Having been instructed by Jesus, the apostles were sent forth, (into the world). Mat. 10-7, tells us that Jesus told His apostles to preach the message that; "The kingdom of heaven is at hand." " At this point, if the things that I have written here have any merit, then having been instructed in the kingdom of heaven, through which I bring forth from my storeroom, "the kingdom of heaven is no longer at hand but the kingdom of heaven is here now! Enter therein while there is still time. Open the eyes to your heart and soul. The light is shining into the world that you may not be blind any longer. Hurry, do not delay."

With much pain and tears I write the following. I write it because if there is a possibility that what I write here has some truth, then much will happen soon.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

How then shall the beast of the earth cause all to take the mark on their hand or their forehead? Revelation 13-16. No one will be able to but or sell without the mark. Revelation 13-17..

Could it be that this process is already in the market place where we trade a coin for a measure? Could it be that the Scanners, which pass over our goods in the stores, will be the downfall of many? Will scanners cause all people to receive the mark, which says you belong to the beast?

Satan has cause evil to run rampant upon the earth. Leaders of this world are unable to control these matters. There has been much talk for many years about the "New World Order." If money no longer exists how can a child buy a gun, how can the terrorist act be financed, and so on.

Will scanners move across the mark, which is attached under the skin? This technology is already being used to keep track of exotic animals in the U.S. The device, which will be placed under the skin of animals is called a microchip. As the scanner moves over the area of the microchip it reads the number of that animal. From this number all data in regard to the particular animal that is scanned is available on a hand held computer screen. Microchip technology is now also currently being used in some credit cards.

If humans were to receive the chip, their number would coincide with an account of credits. When you buy something the scanner would removes credits from your account. Without credits you would not be able to buy of sell. Without credits you will not be able to pay rent or mortgage, pay utilities, get medical treatment, or purchase anything at all as all things would be brought and sold through credits.

If you do not submit to the mark, you will not be able to have a job. You could easily die of a cruel death named starvation. Satan will own you and he will have his mark upon you and will have complete control over everything you do.

If my theory is correct it of no matter, for when the time comes that people are forced to receive the "Mark of the beast," to those who receive the mark, you have sold your soul to the beast. To those who do not except the mark, there will be great suffering and even death. You shall be delivered into eternal life through great tribulation. This is what Scripture tells us.

To those who receive the mark I have no comfort for you, as I can not speak of things which I have not been instructed. To those who refuse the mark I say be of good cheer, wash your robe in the blood of the Lamb, even unto death, if need be. Hold fast to a cloak by which you are the offspring and give good testimony to Jesus.

John the writer of Revelation was asked, "Who are those clothed in white robes, and where do they come from? John answered, 'You know.' And he said to John, "These are they who have come out of great tribulation, they have washed their robes clean in the blood of the Lamb."

Many have washed their robes clean in the blood of the Lamb, (Jesus) throughout history's tribulation. Yet, the tribulation to come is greater then all that has come before.

Mat. 24-4-7, "Take care no one leads you astray, (the false prophets) for many will come in my name saying I am the Christ (Jesus) and they will lead you astray. For you shall here of wars and rumors of wars. Take care not to be alarmed, for these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom and there will be wars, pestilence’s, famine and earthquakes in various places."

Mat. 24-9, "Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and you will be put to death; and you will be hated by all nations for my name sake."

Scripture tells us that those who refuse the mark of the beast will suffer much, even as Jesus suffered. They who deliver us up to the beast are those who have the mark of the beast. Mat. 24-10, "And many will fall away, (because of tribulation) and will betray one another."

Those who have the mark will hand us without the mark over to the beast. Many of those who have been handed over will fall away, as they fear for their lives. They will except the mark of the beast and will betray their brothers and kin in hiding, who do not have the mark.

Be of good cheer brothers and kinsmen, in the Good Spirit. Jesus tells us, Mat. 5-10, "Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."

Mat. 5-11-12, "Blessed are you when all men reproach and persecute you, for my sake. Rejoice and exult, because your reward is great in heaven; for so did they persecute the prophets who were before you."

Mat. 10-39, "He who finds his life will lose it and he who loses his life for my sake shall find it."

I have written these words of comfort to my kinsmen in the Spirit, that it may strengthen you in your time of great tribulation. For those who fall away will say, "Not me, not me, I will lay down my life." But as Jesus said to Peter in John 13-38, 'Will you lay down your life for me? Truly, truly, I say to you the cock will not crow, till you have denied me three times.' So will your brothers betray you.

Before the beast you shall stand my brothers. As we are told in Luke 21-13-19, (this will be a time of witness and testimony) "Resolve therefore in your hearts not to meditate before hand how you are to make your defense. For I myself (Jesus) will give you utterance and wisdom, which all your adversaries will not be able to resist or dispute. You will be delivered up by your parents, brothers, relatives and friends and some of you they will put to death. And you will be hated by all for my name sake; but not a hair on your head shall perish, by your patients you will win your souls."

Mat. 24-11-12, continues, "And many false prophets will arise, and will lead many astray." The false prophets will try to take us off our path and lead us to the beast and, "because iniquity shall abound, the charity of many shall grow cold." Because of sin, many of those who have received the mark will not help those who have not received the mark, so charity has grown cold.

Mat. 24-13, "But whoever perseveres to the end, he shall be saved. And this Gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world, for a witness to all nations, and then the end will come."

The beast will not be able to stop us who do not bear his mark. We shall not care for our lives even in the face of death. We shall speak the prophecy of the mark of the beast, cling to a cloak of a Lady by which we are the offspring, obey the will of God, and give testimony to Jesus the Christ.
