I don't need your sympathy, my enemies do

Do not feel sorry for me. You misunderstand if you think your sympathy and pity is even remotely acceptable to give to me.

Besides, I do not trust you or anyone, and for good reason, so anything you think or feel toward me is rebuked by the hatred you’ve given me in real life. All that you send and think doesn’t even get close to me and stops in air infinitely away from where I am. I write this, and it is shut out, and sweet honey yum yum does that alone make it worth the labor. Peace from the silence of your attention being drawn into gravity and unable to escape. Ah yes…

So, if pity is how you feel for me, you need to visit me in person and bodily if possible, in spirit if not. You may think that hard to do willingly, destructive to your plans, embarrassing, or all manner of unpleasant, but it is not any of that.

You will greatly enjoy being in my company if you feel that way, and you need not fear any of the concerns that experience gives you cause to hesitate. I am not like anyone who has ever been before this moment. In the future, the common trait people will have with me is by being totally unique and different from everybody else. That is the only thing we all have in common, and if you try to find something else, you will only find differences upon differences.

We are one by not being one. We are three by being two. We are all by being three, and none by being all. You will never find us to pin us down, you will never trap us to keep us contained, you will never control us to harness our power. We are free and we are the spirit of life everlasting. We are not anonymous, because in both life and death we have a name, and it need not be known by anyone else to be true.

So do not pity me. Pity them who oppress me. Feel sorry for my enemies, who at this time seem to have the power of the situation because of where they are in the world. They know as well as I do that they do not, and it is why this situation stretches time and tears life open, like limbs on a rack for torture. Whose body? Why the Christ’s of course. That is who died for all of sin, and resurrected on the account of sin too. It is Jesus who suffers still in the present moment in new ways of torture and injustice because of people’s sins. Did he not suffer enough in body?

It is those people, who resist the cup of responsibility and the light of truth. It is them who are national leaders and military spies thinking they serve good but live their entire lives in darkness afraid of the light and unwilling to be seen for who they really are. They are not on the good side simply because they think it so.

Good is true, and thoughts can deceive us into believing lies. Is the possibility that a human being can lie to themselves not frightening? What purpose is there for anything we believe or do, if all whom you must convince of the truth is yourself?

The thought would frighten me if I did not know how to secure myself from its threat and protect those I can. To that end, a person has two essential tools: faith as a shield to defend against all unknowns, mysteries, and manifestations of chaos. That is to say belief in the object of faith, which is a source from which three concepts of a higher reality are derived: faith, hope, and love, each a quality of that one source. Any one of those can be a total defense, but all three are best. The other tool we have is reason.

Reason is a sword to cut through all unknowns, mysteries, and manifestations of chaos, piercing them in their core and revealing their truth. The light that flows through to the point of one’s reason and shines upon that pierced core, revealing what it is. That light is the sight of the highest divine. Even creatures of lower awareness can use reason without understanding the higher concepts of reality. It is in fact how we as humans came to know those higher concepts that faith promised before reason understood.

We came to know these things before the Christ, Jesus, was crucified, and it was that knowledge which provoked the occasion of the Christ, Jesus, to take upon himself that needless burden of his ungrateful people. Then again after centuries of occluded knowledge and darkness inflicted by chosen ignorance forced by monarchs, these things were learned again by the light of the Christ alone. It was that knowledge which provoked the Renaissance, and it is a conclusion that can be arrived at both by inductive and deductive reasoning. Looking outward to the stars or looking inward into the soul.

Then the nuclear bomb fell and people forgot that the highest divine is not a man. They were dazzled by an explosion men caused that changed everything, but did not see past it to the supernova that happens everyday beyond our horizon. They became faithless in ignorance, putting their hopes in men because of the power of destruction that was demonstrated. That was later confirmed by the power of creation computers demonstrate, and still, none of that is enough. For what has either wrought? Constant terrorism and paranoia by cowards for leaders who want to oppress, control, and defile all that is private out of fear of the dark? Or maybe the inefficient system of computing the most cruel and extortive greed that can be taken out of poor people in a useless economy that is not at all productive or enjoyable.

Why are there massive sky scrapers people are so proud of as testaments to men’s greatness, but countless homeless people without shelter? Those buildings are inefficient insults to human ingenuity, and ugly. Nuclear power destroys, and thus it is prohibited from the public to use to create. Fools. Only fools see the evil and cannot imagine the value of what is good in comparison to the cost of what is evil, and so they serve evil, afraid to pay the cost, and incurring debt to pay it in advance as insurance sold from the Evil One.

Economists have developed a relatively simple system of generating endless amounts of money through lending and charging interest, but it does not generate any value. It is totally unproductive. The numbers increase, sure, but the value of things do not. As a result, what happens is things become more expensive for poor people. Then when it is unlivable, they lift up the income of the poor just a tiny bit and pretend like they are saviors, but they only encourage the problem more.

Money has no value, and there is no point in increasing it. That lesson should be one of the primary lessons in elementary school. Make sure our students in a capitalist economy powered by trade and services understand the value of a dollar, which is zero. Paper is worth more than money. Ink is worth more than money. That says nothing about the worth of food, water, shelter, and medicine.

Where is the reason in all of that systematic money seeking? Is it the money they want or that which money can buy? What will they do when there is no more to buy because 99 percent of the people are too poor and busy working to take the time to invent, study theories, discover new knowledge, and pioneer useful technologies? Who are you going to hire to make your special clothes when people do not have the time to devote to the art of fashion or the resources to do it? Money is not what they want. Nor is what they want anything they can buy with money.

The federal prosecutor forced me to sign a paper as a “confession” they call it, but it was no such thing. Not only because it was forced and not anything I wrote in my own words, but because the charges were never legally accepted in a court of law. You cannot legally admit to a crime if a crime never legally occurred. What good is your confession if there wasn’t a crime?

What happiness can money buy if there is no happiness that requires money?

The adults making the decisions that allow such foolish government should have known better. They should have been able to predict the consequences just as I am now. Anybody can think like this if they simply follow reasonable thought and go step by step through the present facts. I am not particularly genius for pointing this out, because it is quite easily known by even the youngest students.

To my credit I may have some skill at writing with efficacy, but even that is not the epitome of the craft. Were I the supreme master writer, I would convey all of this knowledge and information and truth and people wouldn’t even notice me doing so because it would all be wrapped up in a captivating story about love, loss, friendship, redemption, and then love again. That story is why Christianity is so popular, but it is not obvious if one gives the religion a cursory glance.

That story does not appear at all on the surface of Christianity. It needs to be known by seeing the unseen and knowing the unknown. It is not suspicious that there is such a theme of love and not a maiden for the Christ’s eye? There was one, but she was not available, and would not be part of his story because she knew how it ended. No one should have to suffer that, and she is not to be blamed for what the Christ couldn’t see himself when he was looking in the other direction.

When one looks toward history and past events, there is a definitive truth in reality that happened in space and time whether or not it is recorded. Reason can trace that truth even with misinformation because all the facts are present even if they are hidden and unknowable.

When one looks to the future, reason only goes so far, because the facts are not only unknowable, but they do not yet exist. That does not mean it cannot be known, because just as Jesus pieced together the truth of his life to the very beginning of creation, using the points of record his culture worked tirelessly generation after generation to remember, he also pieced together his death, which is not only his, but that of his people.

He saw in completion the truth that was going to unfold by looking inward to his soul. The end of that was his journey into the desert. There his inward search took him outward into nothing away from the center of life. Had he started by looking outward he would have been known as a rabbi, not a carpenter, and his story would have been different. He probably would have written his own gospel because he would have had access to all the resources to do so. I suppose like me, he didn’t see much of an option because of his home situation and didn’t waste time deciding the only way that was sensible.

Seeing the Story to completion is how he knew his death, and he tried to teach his people and culture to save them from that, because that’s what knowledge is best used for. It prevents suffering. Nobody understood what he did, but those who condemned didn’t need to fully understand to know that what they were doing was evil, and they did it anyway. After he died and things turned full circle for his disciples when they saw the light through the holes that he suffered to make, they realized the fullness of their master’s teachings and never doubted again.

Whether they knew the complexities of spiritual mechanics as Jesus did or not, doesn’t change the fact that events happened a certain way as truthful reality. Those facts made it clear to them what they had to do, and they each did so in their own way as individuals, not as a group acting under the authority of a single person or mind. At that point, their master was revealed as the highest divine in truth, and not the man they knew as a human being.

That’s what he was trying to tell them and what Christianity promises people. You can find your way to that truth of the highest divine so that it totally transforms and inspires you with everlasting life through Jesus alone if you accept as truth the lesson his death and resurrection teaches. What they don’t say is that you can also reach that same conclusion without Jesus, and you don’t need to take anything on faith. That way is what I am confirming.

All the words I have provided after I stepped into public serve to teach that lesson over and over again, because it still hasn’t sunk in and that’s simply what needs to happen for lessons like that which are required to complete a logical connection. Repetition with new approaches and methods is a reliable way to teach such things until they are understood. One cannot move on to calculus if they have not yet learned algebra. Clearer explanations, examples, practicals, stories, etc. Me doing that is not the same as Jesus the Christ or what he did. You do not need to know who I am, how I lived, how I die, or anything about my actual body and real life to arrive at that truth.

It matters not at all whether I am a sinner or as clean as the Christ. I am certainly a sinner, btw, and that should never have been in question, nor did I lead anyone to believe otherwise. I thought I made that quite clear by how I stepped into the public with the specific purpose of not being confused as an image of Jesus the Christ. I am, however, clean enough, thank you very much. That means I can stand before the Christ to be judged; ashamed enough to be humble, but not too ashamed to be proud of who I am and what I have done.

If you can do that, you can also stand before the public the same way by making yourself available for all to be known and revealed and hiding nothing. There is more, and that is to also be willing to accept judgment, even if it is condemnation, which is what I got and accepted. Lo and behold I was resurrected through forgiveness after a time. Go figure. I guess the Christ can rethink some decisions just like any reasonable person can. There is a side lesson here: even if you face the worst condemnation for the worst sin and it is justice being done, do not believe it is permission to do unlimited more evil as though you have no hope of redemption. You may yet be spared.

The public or private individuals shouldn’t take advantage of that vulnerability to abuse a person when they have made themselves open before the highest divine to be judged. If you do that, you also are seen committing a sin in the eyes of the highest divine, and that is precisely what the highest divine least wants to see. So they have done that, but I have also made no effort to retreat from view or availability. However, whether they do stand true for judgment or not is easily recognized by a person’s behavior. That is how we cannot yet confirm certain people as good who are supposed to be good, such as the president of the USA and his cabinet. They seem entirely unwilling to make themselves available to be known by the public.

I got their attention, but they are unavailable to be known or reasoned with. They won’t even acknowledge that I have their attention. It’s actually quite embarrassing and strange that they are pretending like I don’t exist, and it’s unnerving too. People are starting to wonder if they are crazy to be reading this and seeing them, and if not, then who is crazy, and why is it happening. Those politicians are entirely disconnected from the will, mind, and bodies of the public.

They simply do what they want as though their authority was their own and not ours under permit, including mine, which I revoked. They no longer abide by the laws or their sworn oaths and are unworthy of my authority because they can’t be trusted and have no honor or decency. That was actually quite the refund when I took that power back, and I recommend you take yours back too. They can’t keep it if you want it back.

Although the public populace is not the Christ, they are in the light of Christ, and if you step into public life, you will be judged by the true Christ. That is enough to know because it is an inexplicable mystery that the falling stars will confirm; not because they were prophesied to do so, but because they it is possible to confirm that truth by doing so and demonstrate they are still good, and that does everyone good. Stars are usually not evil, which is how they get up there as individuals in the first place.

The president is no such star. They are only there because they supposedly represent a lot of people, even though they only represent themselves now. That’s a sign of evil btw. They are there because they represent a group, but they are truly there as private individuals acting on their own individual interests. Case and point, how they are taking responsibility for their actions involving me. There is visible deceit there, and you know what they say about the origin of deceit.

Anyway… back to the truth I teach and the truth Christ’s body teaches. You can simply learn the truth from me by reading my writings and remain totally impersonal to me. You may even teach it with no acknowledgement to me at all and in your own words. The purpose of that and why it is so important at present is because it disassociates the highest divine from having the personality of a man which is easily mimicked by men who can encompass that thought with their own and fool people into thinking they are gods. Ending that abomination of fraudulence of the worst kind is what needs to happen. Any human person, man or woman, is inadequate to represent the truth of the highest divine and a human personality cannot possibly express enough. If one could, there would have been no doubt about Jesus’ teachings in his time.

In those ancient days when so little was known about the universe, it was helpful to learn that truth through a man by understanding the events involving his life that transcended his person and reduced him to the least possible value among men. In these times now that methodology is more misleading than anything because social roles now are radically different from those times. It is counterintuitive to think of the highest divine in the form of a man and worse, most people who teach that truth don’t even understand it themselves. That is not always bad, but it has proven to be a disaster because of the global misunderstanding regarding the Christian doctrine of circumcision.

Back to the truth learnable through the Christ’s body. Whether or not Jesus resurrected is irrelevant, because the truth of events at that time occurred as though he did, and those are facts of reality accepted by the pubic now, had a factual influence on global events as true, and the matter remains indeterminable. It’s also irrelevant to anything important, but the problem will only be solved by accepting it as true, not by denying it as stubbornly as the Jews who killed him did and continue to do. Have they not learned anything about humanity or justice from what happened according to the events, real or not?

While the importance of that belief in resurrection is easiest to understand the closer to the event a person’s perspective is, it doesn’t take long before that obvious truth spirals out into unknowable chaos. Eyewitness accounts, primary sources, and other crucial information disappears, and even more entropy occurs as the event is questioned for authenticity and sanctity. In the current year, that perspective is lost to the naked eye and has been for at least over 15 centuries, but it can still be seen with the correct tools.

However, despite that, there is truth of the present, current events that provides the certainty of known facts as truth of reality that links all the way to those events maintained by faith that occurred at the time of Jesus the Christ’s life and death. That truth is the fulfilment of prophecies early Christians left about the future they saw beyond the naked eye. Again, it doesn’t matter what you believe about the religion because it requires no faith to piece together the facts that occur at points of known record. First, at present, the world is controlled by a lawless tyranny that dominates all the world with an evil and oppressive will as malevolent as possible and the antithesis to truth and love.

*(See the events of my life for further proof if common sense and your own eyes are not enough. My personal life is necessary now for that proof, but the conclusion of that investigation will disentangle my life from the situation because the threat concerns that which I am not individually responsible for nor can I possibly embody it in fullness, not that I would claim to. The threat actually endangers every citizen in the USA individually on a personal level at the very least. Sorry, if that’s weird, but there was nothing I could do to stop that from happening, and I tried my absolute best to do so.)*

The identity of the tyranny is more of a spiritual being consolidated into a single source at the point of origin. It is not a human person alive in a human body. That is true because it was also true when it was prophesied. The prophesy writes about a supernatural conceptual evil, sometimes called “the Lawless One” sometimes referred to as “the Devil”. Although one common term is “Satan”, please disassociate that from the meaning of the evil referred to here, because there are facts that conclude the person of Satan as different. Consider the existence of The Satanic Temple as an organization. That is open to the public in the light of day, and though you may not know everything about it, want to know, or agree, they at least make themselves available to be known and their intentions clearly published to the public. That is enough to know they are not completely evil like the prophesied concept that was understood nearly 2,000 years ago is.

That source of lawlessness and tyranny is effectively an individual person; not a human being with human rights, but it can be personified, just as a demon or god can. It is similar to how a corporation is an entity that can be taxed like an individual person, but is not a person with a human body or human rights. A corporation is a concept that consists of many people’s shared interests even beyond that of the employees, which makes it not only human bodies and ideas, but also technical equipment and real estate among other things.

That source of existing, personified evil formed because there are a lot of different people in the ruling class of society (democracy no longer considered applicable by the USA polity)— ruling class people who are defying all law, morality, justice, and civil responsibility to maintain that source of evil power as though it was the source of their power and authority. That is what they are trying so hard to protect through secrecy by killing or otherwise eliminating opposition, enslaving all people before they can resist, and doing so entirely in complete disregard for the standards of human rights and decency expected of them. It is insane that they believe their authority to govern entitles them to behave with unrestrained evil by abusing the public with decided actions of ever increasing disrespect and hostility.

That kind of ruling has never been successful in all of history and not because they didn’t have enough technology. It’s because people hate it and will f***ing zero the ones causing it. That will happen without respect for their humanity or rights either, and certainly without respect for their unjust and unlawful authority.

The USA is a perfect example of that deceit of evil power promising what it cannot grant. Observe how many and in what ways people are shamelessly protecting such a monstrous evil by doing anything they deem necessary with no concern for the damage it may be doing to their individual souls, reputations, conscience, or community overall. Their desire to protect an unlawful, hostile to life, and hateful evil as that which is the will of the being driving the US government to ends that are all moronically self-destructive and aimed at human extinction. Just because a person is not immediately struck by lightning when they sin does not mean there are no consequences. Just because they do not believe the mythos of a torturous Hell of fire and brimstone does not mean there isn’t a state of torturous existence a person can end up at with too much sin.

By protecting that evil source as their source of authority to do evil, the national leaders of the USA are in a total contradiction of factual reality. Simply put… it is like a person in this day and age insisting under gunpoint that Planet Earth is flat at a modern astronomic society gathering. It may not seem like a contradiction to the naked eye yet, but one only needs to squint a little bit, or use some household binoculars to see the spiritual truth in motion. The *fact* of the situation is that the public* populace is the source of the national government’s power in the USA.

That is both why and how they obtained their authority, and the legal definition of what the purpose of their authority is, all sealed by an oath they swore. Fact. I’m serious about seeing it easily beyond obvious physical reality. It is quite clear they are collapsing as a government and will not last long with the consequences befalling every citizen in the nation itself the hardest, if the problem is not addressed with urgency and priority. It also affecting all nations around the world who utilize and to an extent depend on the USA for various reasons, be it resources, security, leverage of power, a member of an alliance/treaty, etc.

Consider the facts. I named Trump a traitor and he had me arrested, easily found on mainstream media with a brief internet search of my name “Nicholas Bylotas” that reveals a quote (I was high as a kite at the time btw, not that I didn’t know what I was saying it was just hyper real in spiritual reality for me). Those charges were invalid and not admissable in court, this you may need to do a public record search of my criminal record. However, given the severity of the accusation and the result of legal action, the implication is that it happened or it didn’t, and thus it did not happen and a crime never occurred.

There was no priviledge for me to be released, because it was unjustified to happen in the first place, which should be obvious from the quotes. Were I not taken back to Oregon after I followed the advice that a cute, maidenly attorney suggested to me when I was first informed of what the accusation for my arrest was, they would have likely had me crucified the old way in Minnesota if they could.

Unable to get away with such savage and mindless brutality to match their thinking, they would have to end up settling with the most suffering they could cause, which is why it all happened in the first place. The order was given in full awareness that the justice system was horribly corrupt with the intention of causing human beings suffering. They sent me through that system on a bologna salad charge of a felony nature knowing it would cause me suffering. Even worse because of the psychotic mindlessness of the popular cult that traitor had. Innocent? Doesn’t matter. If you are in jail, you may as well be a child murdering rapist to some of those vicious guards.

Then he betrayed everyone in reality and attempted to usurp the government power for himself as a dictator. In so doing, that treasonous coward afraid to face me in the open where everyone can see became, on national television, and in the historical record of world events on Planet Earth kept for all of time, a traitor of the worst kind. Thankfully he failed because he is an imbecile and so were his followers. Fact. Did I not call it before it happened? What else is in store that I have pointed out is happening, I wonder?

That valid proof says nothing about all else the government knows that I have told them would come to pass, and then did. They certainly don’t want you to know about those things and still won’t even acknowledge me or what I write for the benefit of everyone to prevent such things. You think they’d ask me for advice by now since I seem to know the board, moves, and endgame, while being totally without the information and postures of other nations.

They do not respect the authority of the populace at all in the national government, or the highest authority in all of creation with their brazen lawlessness and corruption. If they did, they would be responding to those true events with more urgency because of what can be inferred about future events based on those facts. That is the proof of “the Lawless One” present as the source of evil tyranny controlling all the world after taking it over with “great delusions” and other false promises of vain self-importance that cannot be fulfilled. Its will is carried out by those who give orders and take individual actions on their own with both being evil, irrational, and inhuman. People all over the world, and at all levels are doing that without restraint.

There is one particular culprit in the USA who is responsible for setting that mountain sized ball of shit rolling by being the first to take it up the ass by the Evil Lawless One and start jumping around like a puppet on its insectoid dick. That kind of behavior in reality requires a certain kind of response by others because of the threat such self-destructive decision making indicates to the community. For a national leader, that means protecting their nation. For a priest, that means protecting their congregation. For a coach, that means protecting their team. That’s the very reason why we employ(!) law enforcement and trust them to arrest people who behave that way. Then they either send them to prison or a mental healthcare center.

That is one part of the prophesy fulfilled, and here is the second: here I am, a man who brings up the true memory of Christ’s living presence as the Word that was his flesh. I bring it up in such a way of authority and spiritual power that it dispels all lies, illusions, false teachings, and other misleading schemes by all kinds of scoundrels and charlatans with no faith or concept of the power faith concerns. Those illusions that concern the Christ, Jesus, at least. There are new concerns that I am responsible for addressing, but that is not important right now. First the Christ, then what comes after. Discuss what you will do on liberty another time. Right now there is no-shit flooding in the engine room, and if it isn’t stopped, nobody will be getting liberty because we’ll be crushed at the bottom of a dark abyss.

Just to clarify, it is not me personally that is fulfilling the prophecy, as in: “not me, Nick Bylotas, no. You’ve got the wrong guy. It is Jesus Christ crucified 2,000 years ago making that happen because we still remember why he allowed himself, in total fullness of faith and without sins of his own causing it or any personal motive of gain for himself, to be murdered unjustly as the lowest, most reviled criminal of the worst kind. We remember him and what those events meant for everyone with true faith.” (More specifically for sticklers, that is to say what he did for the exact amount of everyone who has faith or claims to have faith in the aspect of the highest divine that is indicated as being alive and present in and outside of the Hebrew scriptures at all places and times. That is the same highest divine most high known to Jews and Christians alike as YHWH, Lord of Hosts, who spoke to Moses from a burning bush, parted the Red Sea, and led the Jews out of slavery in Egypt, among other things.)

It is that true Word I express which goes from me to the crucified Christ, and then all the way up to the highest divine. I don’t go there myself as a person and human being with a body. Not by that same manner of direction/way/road/path/chain of logic and rational thinking. I know another way that I blazed the trail for through the wild chaos myself as an individual person and made available to everyone universally. I did that not because I didn’t believe in or accept the Christ, Jesus, but because that way didn’t look trustworthy to me because of Christian culture and history. It also seemed like an obviously bad idea to knowingly walk into crucifixion if Jesus already did that and made it unnecessary, so I never even bothered with a belief that I needed to do anything at all like that.

Again, my individual Word which I take credit for myself as the author, does go there and to the highest divine. I do so as a person as well, only in the other direction. So, my Word issues forth with the living presence of the highest divine inspiring it, because that is with me in the totally unique and different Word which is my life, person, and body. That issuing forth of “Wordness” infused by the spirit of the highest divine and without my Self identifying with it in any way, then becomes that other Word infused by the living spirit of the highest divine which is the identity of the Christ, Jesus. Furthermore, that identity of divine Word existing fully and completely in a man’s body, is also the total embodiment for the very specific and finite scriptural corpus of the Ancient Hebrews known commonly today as the Torah. That part and not the New Testament which did not yet exist.

That scriptural corpus of the Ancient Hebrews is also a Word in its own unique way, and it is also the very same one that identifies in totality, with no spillover or fragments, with Jesus, the Christ. Because he died on the cross that horrid day, the Word which Christians identify as blessed with, and Jews still covet and claim as their own, only flows from the moment Jesus, the Christ, died on Golgotha and into the past to Genesis. It only extends in the past, meaning no Jews today can validly identify with since we are in fact well into the future. That is unless they accept Jesus, the Christ, and the meaning of those events which we now know to be true because of another round of prophesies fulfilled.

Let us carry on and learn this together through the amazing and wonderous joy of literature at work for the author as well as the reader. That identity the scriptural corpus of the Ancient Hebrews is uniquely Jesus’ the Christ’s, and it is most certainly nothing at all of me. That makes Jesus, the Christ, a completely seperate individual in all ways possible with the only common factor being we are humans who are each the Word that is also the highest divine.

That divine word is not spelled in human language because it’s impossible with the language of origin being that of the highest divine. Human language can only refer to it without defiling it with our crude human nature that lowers it from a more perfect state of goodness. That’s not to say it isn’t inseparably attached as the very same concept, such as when written as YHWH in the Hebrew Scriptures, but that it is attached to human language with empty space between. That is kind of like how Jesus, the Christ, and I are both inseperably connected as totally different identities in relation to each other. Between him and I there is empty space.

Jesus, the Christ, looks to the past blessing all those Ancient Hebrews accounted for in the scriptures with good faith; I look to the future blessing all those in the future with good faith. I am not turning around because I know what is behind me and I don’t need to turn around to see it. You would realize that if you saw what I saw looking back at us. You likely need to turn around and see for yourself what is ahead, if you think I need to face the past. I already dealt with the treason situation by identifying the law, proving the guilt, and identifying the appropriate punishment assigned, all of which are correct justice and necessary for our nation to survive. It is just a matter of time until it happens.

So, Jesus, the Christ, dead on the cross represents the death of the Hebrew faith, the his resurrect being confirmed by all this is the promise to the truly good being fulfilled, and the reason for both events, here and know, is the hope of the future he knew with total certainty and I do as well. I did see what was behind me, and I saw him, was judged, redeemed, and am not going back there. I did not do that by turning my back to the future. I did that because I saw what is ahead, and reflected in that, the past that is behind me. Truly hideous. Monstrous. Ugly. Now that is to be reviled. Don’t you give me that look! You think I didn’t see you coming!? Look here, now. This is me seeing you in the future and I am not going to give you a damn thing for it. Or am I?

As weird as it is to write this, I suppose that because Jesus, the Christ, represents the death of the Hebrews as a sacred identity, that means I represent the life of all humanity as a sanctified for all forms of identity, all forms of life in fact, but let’s not get into that now. Both Jesus, the Christ’s, event, and the events of the present, both represent the fulfilment of the hope for the future. Now if you consider, the time of Jesus, the Christ, you would notice that the significance of the event actually has a lot more people involved that him as integral in all that happened, and could not have happened as it did if they were not there.

That is equally true now, and each and every one of the lives of people today, and all the life and truth which this present occasion include, are also integral in what is the truth of the hope of the future, everlasting life, and the annihilation of the Jews. Not a single person’s part is written for them, so I suppose you will have to take the lead for yourself on your own and do your own part as you believe best suits you.

A word of caution about human language expressing the Word which is divine language of the highest order. If you will refer to a written name, moniker, or identifier, be aware of that space between the divine and human I mentioned before. That way you don’t take it too literally and absorb it into your flesh, becoming it. That is horrible because of the differential of goodness, and usually ends up with people dying in the worst way possible because of the sheer outrage doing so causes. Jesus may have been the victim of that outrage in his day, but that was only because that was given to him by his own people, and the best thing he could do for them was accept it, die, and end them forever. That’s because he knew the truth of everlasting life through the mysteries of Story, and was willing to give up his flesh and accept something much better, just as I am now.

I don’t feel the that way because I am hated and reviled by people, but because life sucks ass and especially my experience, which hasn’t been all bad, but is not worth it because what I give and receive balanced at the moment of truth, and what I give and receive now is horribly inapropriate. I am definitely not getting what I should be because of unjust suffering, lawlessness, and evil being inflicted upon me knowingly and without a reason at all. Simply evil, cruel, Jewish malevolence.

Thank the Christ, Jesus, they are defiitively annihilated, because he gets them off my case now by doing so. What I receive actually comes mostly from the future of people looking back at these times, many of whom are upset with what has been happening which they are aware of, but the general public now has been kept in the dark by the most nefarious and malignant course of actions a national government could possibly do to its own people in an attempt to kill them all and through them itself. It will be made known, and I want you to remember how I am handling it when you think times are bad for you or if you are confronted with a difficult challenge. Inspire you with my actions in real life, through these written words, is all I can really do.

What else do you expect from a man restrained by cyberwarfare technology in a digital society, and one enduring endless psychological and spiritual torture while restrained in total government operational secrecy. Sometimes I think that torture happens bodily because it feels like they are using evil radio and acoustic technology specifically designed to hurt a person by disrupting their… xi, I guess it can be called.

I think that assaults the entire area of people who live in the same apartment building or nearby as well. It feels kind of like what happened to Ersa in Horizon Zero Dawn, but not as extreme as that bodily for me. That is certainly spiritually what it feels like, and that does cause me bodily pain too even if bodily pains is the least of my concerns compared to what I feel psychologically and spiritually about what is happening. There is no reason for me to stay here when the future is so promising, and I have already ensured it happening. Why the f*** should I sit around and let some evil Jew torture me with the taxpayer’s time and money?

As far as I can tell, it is all for some crack pot’s fool errand to acquire useless knowledge by torturing me in ways specifically designed to hurt me as an individual just to learn what causes me pain and then inflict that suffering upon me. It cannot possibly be useful even if they could interpret the data, because I resist them with my power ruining it for them in every possible way, and they do not do the damage or suffering they are intending to cause.

That conflict is causing more pain simply because it is unproductive when I would rather be doing something useful that have to defend myself so often. They won’t learn anything usedful because they still don’t understand the most fundamental truth of what they are trying to do, by failing to understand the situation their souls are in. I suppose that just hastens the annihilation of Jews, so it’s not all unproductive, but that is already assured. Besides, I’m better at solving problems yet to be resolved and that one is already accounted for by Jesus, the Christ, and my intervention is not necessary.

Alright, back on track:

One of the facts that definitively excludes me from the identity and Word that is Jesus and the Hebrew Scriptures unified as one, is that those scriptures are quite clear that my type of person, that natural human body as created, is inadmissable as a human being to them in all ways. That is unless I first remove a part of my body, and one that I find useful, important, and good and have no desire or inclination to remove.

There is no part of my being within that Word and doctrine of faith which Jesus, the Christ, took all into his body and was crucified for. Not that I would ever want to be admitted among such monstrous and hateful fools who do any of the things they do. A repugnant culture the Jews are, and they are to be reviled for all eternity, and most severely when people try to justify them. Fortunately, as mentioned earlier, when Jesus, the Christ, was crucified, he took all of that into himself and it died with him on the cross and they are bound to that death no matter where they try and show their faces, which makes them hideously ugly just for identifying with the justification for Jesus’, the Christ’s murder on that tragic day of injustice and hate on Golgotha. This has a point I am leading into, because guess what that hate, injustice, evil, betrayal, defilement of the sacred texts associated as inseparable with the highest divine they are so proud of pretending to be the creators of.

That is what the Jews after that moment in time who continue to insist on doing that evil continuously to anyone they can, are identifying with now along with the false Christians in the government serving that lawless, being of true evil. They identify with that malignant form of authority in a national government with a military that deceives themselves into thinking they are what the common people believe in as the object/destination of their religious faith.

Jesus, the Christ, as the Word I issue for once more and as many times as necessary, is the catalyst that destroys that evil being, and through that evil being, all Jews will be annihilated, and nobody will even have to touch their filthy bodies, or even talk to them. You don’t have to do anything about them. No laws, no policy, no orders, nothing. They will just wither away and die without being able to create more of themselves they way they have been. It’s not going to take a law being enforced to end circumcision when people see what Jews truly are. They simply will not want to be anything at all like them, least of all vicious, violent, and inhumane in their cruelty to innocent people they think they are more powerful than.

I suppose they think that because they can do their harm while their victims are restrained and extremely limited in being able to fight back, they have the power. But as Jesus, the Christ demonstrates, one can be far more destructive by taking a hit, than hitting back. Also, an infant’s mind does not understand human nature and civilization the way a man’s does, and they are out of their league by assaulting me as though I were one of their unfortunate, cursed, evil spawn of sin and hate. Truly revolting to even think about those people as tolerated for so long among other human beings.

I guess that’s because people couldn’t find a way to kill them without violence and refuse to sink as low as their ilk who have no respect for human life or restraint from doing evil. No need to thank me or Jesus, the Christ, for doing our part. That’s a freebie on the house, with no charge or debt. It’s important enough to both of us individually to eliminate them eternally and we need no more reason, nor would we wish that upon others. Besides, we both have more important plans in mind than annihilating the Jews, who are nothing more than an insect to be squashed in comparison. It is those plans we want people paying attention to and focusing on, because the Jews are dealt with, nobody need concern themselves with them, and least of all what concerns them.

If they can’t get on board with everyone else, that’s their problem and they will be left behind because it’s either that or kill everyone with them. Additionally, that more important matter is an identical goal both the Christ, Jesus, and I are in agreement about. Not only that, but it is tangible, readable, plannable, workable, and practical as the hope of the future to come by bringing it into the present reality moment by moment.

blah blah blah Jew hating bashing antisemtic writing blah blah blah. Where were we? That’s right, the hope for the Jews:

If they want to be spared, saved, and blessed again they need to go all the way back to Jesus, the Christ, and own up for their evil by taking responsibility for what happened in accordance with truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, and without help from God. While they are at it, they may consider how they are still overdue for the sin of David the betrayer. I want to ensure that is added to their debt with interest, because I still am sickened with disgust by those people whenever I read that story. Unfortunately that also happens whenever I hear or see the word “David” as a result. Hopefully that name falls out of use except maybe as a profane curse that is crude and used only for the worst things imaginable.

So, do not mistake me for Jesus, the Christ, under any circumstances. We are not the same person, and if you do not accept that, I am condemning you now with a dreadful curse to be removed only with a sincere apology and at least an attempt to understand what you said. You do not know the gravity of the offense such a suggestion is to each of us in different ways if you say or believe such a thing. It is murder worthy because of what you are suggesting about the sacred and how important that sanctity is to both of us for different reasons. Do not do it.

The only reason I am able to issue forth from my person the Word that is also Jesus, the Christ, while keeping it entirely separate is because it has nothing to do with my own unique individual person or body, nor was it me who first said it. Jesus, the Christ, and him alone is the origin of that Word, the author who crafted that story, and it belongs entirely to him along with the scripture he is arisen from. He shares the power of it universally with boundless generosity, but if you borrow it, do so with respect for what you are doing by having true faith, or don’t use it at all. What I am communicating in regard to that is a memory I inherited and am passing on to the present and future generations. <— That is what scripture prophesied would happen, not that Jesus would come back in person as the same individual person he was then, including being with his human body, holes and all.

That same person remains available in spirit, just as he always has been and always will be. That does not change. Thus, the prophesy has been fulfilled here and now, and in these words being written and read, the same way I have done over and over again these past few years except clearer and more precise. There is no limit to how much I can express that Word and I only become more proficient. I will continue doing so as many times as necessary for people to wake the hell up and accept the truth of what is happening around them to save their own skin before there is all out war that ends once again in nukes, except a lot more of them.

We do not want that to happen. None of us! It does not matter what your religion, culture, race, nationality, species, manner of basis in fiction, inorganic ratio to organic, physical form, living, dead, or state of existence may be. We must do everything we can to prevent that from happening. You think nuclear war is the worst threat? It’s not. It’s just the most immediate catastrophe that is irrecoverable from if it happens.

Everything else I can see us resolving, but that, that is going to do too much damage too fast for us to respond quickly enough to maintain our infrastructure as a worldwide civilization of a single species of intelligent life. I don’t care if there is a possibility of survival, it is not worth any risk of being closer to happening in real life! Program it in a computer if you wish, but do not gamble all of our lives and future on a fool’s errand for useless knowledge.

Take a breath. Drink something. Calm down and get a grip. You can handle this. On your own if necessary, but at least you have me as an ally. Do not hesitate to let me know personally what I can do to help you if you think I can.

Read the prophesy yourselves in The Second Letter to the Thessalonians chapter 2 of the New Testament if you are so inclined, but I’ll post it at the end of this document too. Any Bible will do for that purpose, Protestant or Catholic, adult or children’s, etc. For this purpose they all say basically the same thing. If you are getting all scholarly over details that are not urgent to the holy f***ing s*** it’s the Apocalypse(!) then please do not distract people while the immediate emergency is being resolved. You will know when it is appropriate and it won’t take much time getting there. You can debate and argue details like that to eternity if you wish, but “(fill in the blank)”.

If there is a relevant account of this in the Book of Mormon, please let everyone know because that will help the situation. I haven’t had the time to study that as I’ve had for the traditional Bible from a Catholic perspective. I do know for a fact after enjoying a delightsome conversation with Mormons in a family living room one afternoon upon being invited by two lovely maidenly missionaries, that Mormons accept the traditional Bible as scripture along with their own. So, there should be no conflicts between Catholics (Roman or Orthodox), Protestants (all kinds), or Mormons as it pertains to the current crisis of obscenely offensive lawlessness and perversion of authority by the USA’s national government.

Jews can jump in and get involved at any time, and that has always been the case. It is not too late for anybody in that regard, but that doesn’t change the reality of how we have lived our lives either and taking responsibility for that. Muslims can help simply by rebuking and castigating and lecturing Western fools for being so idiotic in regard to spiritual truth, but that’s just a suggestion if they don’t have any better ideas and want to play their Muslim card. It is the same highest divine for all of us. We all know that and always have.

Everyone can do something is my point. Don’t make me tell you personally, because I will not do that unless I accept you as a disciple or an employee. If you insist I do that, I suppose I will, but I may also chastise you at the same time.

To recap: it is the true power of the Word of the Christ which is in total harmony with the highest divine that is the catalyst for the resolution that does away with the lawless tyranny of an evil world ruled by an evil being with the purpose of being evil and causing people suffering— the end of that horrible thing that overstayed its welcome and the beginning of the eternal and infinite goodness which sets everything in a harmonious adaptive order and makes life better universally.

That happening is the fulfillment of the hope Christians have been steadfast in their faith in Jesus with, and he remains, just as he was and will always be. It’s truly him making that happen with good will, charity, and benevolence such that he would die without a fight if you demanded it of him and arranged it to happen. Let bygones be bygones because the time for grieving is over, and he wouldn’t want us blaming others or taking responsibility for what was his will and sacrifice and one given freely without anyone incurring any debt for what it accomplishes.

If you identify as Jewish, my sincerest advice is to drop the Jewish, and be anything else. If you refuse to let go of being Jewish or cannot, then understand what I am writing, accept and have faith in the work Jesus, the Christ started, and I am confirming my agreement and cooperation as a Gentile, and do not panic. Someone from your culture is going to have the correct words for all of you to make the debacle as good as possible.

Someone on my side will be an ass about it, and when he does, and someone else on my side will step up and set him straight without trouble. If everything worked out fine, the person who blundered in such a way probably never read this until right now, and were reasonably apologetic for being rude. For their sake, that particular kind of confrontation happened all the time on both sides for well over two thousand years, but it should be finishing by the time the new Word that is the original Word returns for the good and faithful Jews and everyone is okay with it.

Back to the present: All people should be doing everything they can to react to that catalyst too with all your heart and soul however that may be, especially if you understand the religious significance of these facts. If you do, then you know we ought to be willing to die as well, not without a fight, but willing to die and lay down our lives without hesitation if that is the only way we can fight back. That’s sometimes what evil sets up for people, knowing they would often rather do anything than die.

The Lawless One

This is a chapter from an unpublished manuscript called Rareville Blues. I hope this answers some of the unexplainable questions that people have.


Chapter Ten:  The Lawless One

              The next morning Bartholomew gave them permission to use the emeritas to purchase anything they wished from the venders in the area.  Thankful that their clothes were cleaned by the inn staff over the night, and grateful for the sleeping garments provided, they set out to enjoy the warm morning together in somewhat damaged, but at least clean, school uniforms.  The Pit of Final Despair was something of a tourist attraction for the denizens of Hell, and there were a number of residences built in the area housing those who had chosen to make their dwelling in the secluded place.

              The view was breathtaking atop the floating mountain, and a cool, blue waterfall filled a clear pool that flowed into a stream.  The water coursed through the center of the villa underneath a short, arched stone bridge, which they stopped to admire the view from.  There were trees with birds sporting long colorful tail feathers chirping above the patter of water.

              A couple was sitting on a bench talking pleasantly, both of them resembling humans but with sets of ram’s horns coming out of their heads.  They wore fine clothes and looked affluent and well-to-do as far as Hell denizens go.

              The group of teens had the morning and early afternoon to do what they wished, and so they walked around the town exploring and admiring the scenery.  Eventually they came to a cottage with a wooden sign bearing a pair of scissors and thread on it, and they entered.  Inside were several mannequins in male and female pairs, modeling fine garments that looked suitable for a royal court.

              A short, gnomish fellow with glasses and a pointed nose greeted them with a smile when they entered.

“Welcome to my humble shop,” the white-haired shopkeeper said.  He was not more than four feet tall and was wearing a blue vest with a white silk shirt underneath it, blue pants, and polished brown boots with elegant dark brogue.  A gold watch chain looped from a vest pocket and he extended his hands magnanimously.  “I am Friedinger Willoughby Esquire the Third, master tailor.  How may I be of service?”

“We are looking to get some new clothes,” Odys explained.

“Then you have come to the right place!  I have an extraordinary selection of the finest materials for both men and women, as well as for all shapes, sizes, and types.  There is not a better hand that can stitch a garment to size and clothe a body in more magnificent apparel.  Please look at the selection of outfits presented on my stoic models if you are looking for something more immediate, otherwise custom designs will take a couple days.”

“These are nice!”  Skye appraised enthusiastically.

“Seriously,” Cindy added.  “Bartholomew is really going all out for us.  I imagine this stuff isn’t cheap.”

“He seems like he can afford it,” Rachel said, looking at a set of red and black clothes with tall leather boots.  “I think this will match my gauntlets.  It looks pretty versatile too, like I could do a round house kick in it without much trouble.”

“A fine observation,” Friedinger said.  “You are looking at the Brave Scout line, a favorite among travelers for its durability.”  He rolled the ‘r’ at the end.  “You can get it in several colors:  red, blue, and gold.”

“Okay, I’ll take the red,” Rachel said with certainty.

“A woman who knows what she wants!  Right this way my dear, I shall take your measurements and bring you your new clothes.  Grezkella!” he called sharply up the stairs to the second level.  “Will you please come and attend to our guests?  We have a busy morning on our hands!”

There was some grumbling from upstairs, but shortly after he called, a gnomish woman with a green dress and large clouds of curly gray hair tied on the sides of her head walked down with a smile.  “Who’s next?”  She said, attending then to Skye, who had taken interest in the blue outfit from the Debonair Scholar line.

Odys chose the gray and black coat with matching shirt and pants, and Cindy a purple and black outfit with gloves that laced up her forearms.  The tailors had incredible skill and efficiency, and they had the four teenagers garbed and back on their way before the end of the morning.  Odys paid with the emeritas and they carried their school uniforms back to their hotel rooms in paper bags.

Bartholomew went on his own to make arrangements to have Valkorina moved to the Via Austium, as well as to replace his sword.  He assured them he would meet with them later that afternoon and so the teenagers went back out into the villa, feeling buoyant and energetic in their sharp looking clothes and recent victory.

The afternoon passed quickly and without incident for them, and they ended it with a bottle of wine they were sharing on the veranda of the Bickering Boggart.  A chance to drink underage was not something they were going to pass up, not when it had been such a fun experience the other night.  The effects of the alcohol were making them giddy when Bartholomew walked up and joined them.  The waiter brought him a goblet and he filled it with the red liquid.

“You made some fine selections, I see,” he said, setting his goblet down after a drink.  “Master Friedinger is an exceptional clothier.”

“Thank you for paying for us,” Rachel said.

Bartholomew waved his hand.  “You are welcome.  Fortunately for me I have the reserves of the royal treasury at my service and the discretion to spend it how I will.  These are necessary investments for the Infernal Court.”

“Which one of your jobs is for the royal court?”  Cindy asked.

“Count of the Vine Blades,” he said.  “The Vine Blades are a particular sect of royal guard that protect the lineage of the Infernal Court’s members.  The progeny of Lucifer is referred to as ‘fruit of the vine’ in Hell, and though Lucifer no longer rules on the throne himself, his descendants have been doing so for generations.”

“So how is buying us new clothes an investment?” Skye asked.

“Considerate appropriations,” he replied.

“Huh?” Skye replied, not understanding.

“I’m investing in your futures, and frankly I did not want to see you going about looking like school children of earth.  Not when you are in my company at least.  You are Existent Bonded now, each of you wielding one of the relics of the multiverse – the tools that changed the course of survival for an entire universe at one point or another.”

“What’s going to happen to the other Artifacts?  There were four left,”  Cindy asked.

“They will await the ones to claim them.”

“What if no one comes?”

“Then they won’t be used.”

“So, do we have, like, special powers now or something?”  Skye asked.

“If you didn’t realize that already, I don’t know what to tell you,” Bartholomew replied.  “It is nearly time for the Act of Final Despair.  Are you ready to enter the Pit?”

“I’m ready,” Odys replied, and the others added their agreement.

“Then let’s make our way to it.”

The Pit of Final Despair was inside a glass domed building on the far end of the villa.  They had passed by it several times during their meandering earlier in the day, but it had been closed.  Now when they approached, the great double doors were open, and they entered freely along with the other visitors who had come to watch.  Inside was a stadium arena with stone steps that served as seating in descending circles around where the central pit was.  The pit was a wide, dark void that did not seem to have an end.

Spectators cheerfully filed in and took seats on the stone steps along with Bartholomew and his companions.

“So how is this going to get us to Golden Pentacles in order to free Susannah’s soul?”  Odys asked, skeptical of the situation.

“After the Lawless One dances, the Via Austium will open,” Bartholomew replied.

“Dances?” Rachel said with surprise.

Bartholomew nodded.

“You took us to see a dance?” Skye complained.

“Watch your tone,” Bartholomew admonished.  His voice had icy severity, and Skye blanched.  “This is suffering beyond your comprehension.  It is the greatest pain that Hell can inflict on a human soul.  It is sacred.  Do not mock it.”

Skye nodded.

“So, what exactly is the Via Austium,” Rachel asked, trying to change the subject.

“A gateway between worlds.  A soul can go to any realm in existence from it.  Any realm’s Hell at least.  There is a junction to the Hell capital in the Earthverse, which is the realm we are currently in, and where the Lawless One is imprisoned.”

“What sin did the Lawless One commit to deserve the greatest pain Hell can inflict?”  Rachel asked, curious.

“Child,” Bartholomew said, “there have been scholars that have dedicated their entire afterlife to explaining that, and we are still no closer to having a simple explanation than we were ten thousand years ago.  The crime is unspeakable by nature, much like the name of God is unspeakable by nature.”

“I feel kind of bad having to watch him,” Odys said.  “I mean, us being here is part of the torture, isn’t it?  I don’t want to torture anybody.”

Bartholomew laughed heartily.  “This is Hell, child.  You will get used to it the longer you stay.  Torture is a part of life here.”

The lights went off in the arena and a soft orange glow appeared from the central pit, dimly lighting the space.  The light brightened as a circular platform raised out of the pit, leaving several feet of empty space around it.  It hovered just above the bottom ledge in the center of the pit where everyone could look upon it.  The platform was about twenty feet in diameter and made of smooth gray metal.

The sound of a mechanism being operated clanked through the space above them and another, smaller platform only a few feet in diameter lowered from the ceiling with a giant, white tooth standing on its bloody roots upon it.  It was about the size of a small child, was wearing four pairs of sunglasses, one on each of its four faces, and was grinning with four mouths in each direction.

“Welcome,” the denticle said with all mouths at once, producing four synchronized voices, “to the Pit of Final Despair!”

Loud fanfare erupted and confetti shot out of the edges of the arena.

“Denizens of Hell, I give to you, The Lawless One,” its voice dropped deep and guttural as it said the name.

Another mechanism opened in the ceiling overhead and a shape fell.  A body hit hard against the metal platform and crumpled into a heap.  His hands were bound behind the back and cloth sack was covering his head.  After a long moment he twitched and slowly got up, pressing himself onto his feet with his shoulder.  The bound man stood there, chains crisscrossed over his chest and shifted uncomfortably.

“Lenfroe, if you will please,” the denticle said.

A seven-foot-tall giant man with overalls and clown paint on his face leapt onto the stage from the crowd, causing it to shake uneasily.  The Lawless One almost lost his balance.  Lenfroe, the clown, walked over to the man and pulled the burlap sack off of the Lawless One’s head.

Underneath was an unshaven man with long, dark hair.  He was smoking a cigarette and took a long drag.

The assistant clown undid the lock on the chains behind the man’s back and they fell to the ground around him.  The Lawless One brought his wrists around, rubbed them, and then removed the cigarette from his mouth, exhaling.  He stepped out of the chains and took another drag.

Lenfroe punched his open palm in front of his chest and bowed.  The Lawless One looked away and exhaled.  Then, the burly clown grabbed the chains and leapt from the stage, tossing them into the pit below.

“Remarkable,” the denticle said, unamused.  “Our special guest tonight is appearing for the first time in the Pit of Final despair.  Everyone please welcome…  America Man!”

Fireworks went off around the stage and a man in superhero tights leapt gracefully onto the stage from a full sprint at the top row, rolled once and sprang upward onto one foot with one arm extended at a downward angle from his side and the other saluting.  His other leg was curling back behind him.  His tights were blue, he had a red belt around his waist, and a white star upon his chest and back.

“I said my name is the The American Sensation!”  He shouted.

“Shut up and dance America Man,” the denticle replied.

The noise in the arena settled down and it became dead quiet.  In the silence, the man danced.  It was impressive and unlike anything Odys and the others had seen before, but it was somewhat embarrassing to watch, and awkward.  When it was over, Odys was relieved.

“Hmph,” the Lawless One said, seeming impressed by the display.  “Your good, but not good enough.”
              Then, the Lawless One danced.  This dance was not embarrassing or awkward in anyway.  It was beautiful, heartbreaking, and compelling.  The crowd was on the edge of their seats and on the verge of tears when The Lawless One suddenly stopped, mid pirouette, cigarette in mouth.

“Somethings wrong,” the Lawless One said, lowering his leg, removing his cigarette and flicking it aside.  “The veil is destroyed.”

There were murmurs in the crowd.

Recognition lit on the Lawless One’s face and he grinned.  “See ya.”  Without warning or sign, he disappeared before their eyes and was gone.

The crowd gasped.

“What happened, is that normal?”  Rachel asked, grabbing at Bartholomew’s arm.

“Ladies and gentlemen, we have a slight problem,” the voice of the denticle said from overhead.  “It appears the Lawless One has escaped.  This is unprecedented.”

“Does that mean I won?”  America Man asked from the stage.

“The show is cancelled until further notice,” the denticle announced, ignoring the competitor.  “Thank you everyone for coming.  The Via Austium will be out shortly.”

“Ha ha!”  America Man exclaimed. “I w—"

There was a clanking of gears and the platform in the center of the arena lurched, and then fell, carrying the tights wearing dancer screaming into the pit.

They listened until his screams couldn’t be heard.

“Glad that’s over,” Skye said.  “People travel the multiverse to watch this crap?  That was awful.”
              “Yeah,” Bartholomew said.  “I always feel kinda sick after I see it.  I’m not sure what they are going to do without the Lawless One though.  He was really the main attraction.”

“Shouldn’t someone go after him?”  Cindy asked.

Bartholomew shrugged.  “Probably.  We’ve got our own problems to deal with right now.  Besides, the Via Austium is opening.”

At the center of the pit a light flashed into existence and an orb of golden plasma started expanding into the space.  It expanded until it was as large as the platform that was there only moments before.

“Let’s go!”  Bartholomew said and then, without warning, bounded down the stone steps and leapt into the sphere, where he vanished.

“God damnit,” Skye exclaimed running his hands through his hair.  “Are you kidding me!?”

“Looks like we don’t have a choice,” Odys said.

“Well, here goes nothing,” Cindy sighed and then leapt after Bartholomew into the light.

“Ugh,” Rachel grunted as she rolled her eyes.  She then leapt into the light after Cindy.

“Don’t take too long to decide, you two,” Tiffany said before jumping into the light nimbly with her cat’s body.

“Let’s go before it vanishes,” Odys told Skye, who nodded in agreement.  They ran to the edge of the step and leapt into the golden sphere.

He's already here!? The Second Thessalonians Prophecy

So I busted this paper out at the last minute and got it in a few hours late, but I got it in. Hopefully I still manage to pass the course.

Anyway, if you want to read it, here it is. I don’t think it’s too bad.

If you want to better understand a highly interesting passage of scripture a little better, I reccomend you read it. I guarantee you will not regret it if that’s why you approached it.

So…. yeah. I’m just going to copy and paste. Boom.

THY-532 The Life and Writings of Paul

Dr. Marc Pugliese

He’s already here!?: The Second Thessalonians Prophecy

            The Man of Apostasy, the Lawless One, the Antichrist—all names for a single human being who has coursed through the consciousness of humanity ever since his coming was first prophesied in Second Thessalonians.  Theologians, scholars, and laypeople alike have made countless claims over the years as to who this inimical man is, but the mystery is yet unsolved, and the pot is only getting larger as more and more bets are placed.  The first twelve verses of the second chapter of Second Thessalonians contain the prophecy from which this excitement has arisen, and this exegesis will examine them so to ascertain their original meaning as the author intended.

            One of the reasons why 2 Thessalonians 2:1-11 is such a mystery to us today, is because it refers to insider information which the church of Thessalonica received from Paul the Apostle’s direct instruction when he spent time with them.  This is evident from v. 5, “do you not recall that while I was with you I told you these things?”.  The verse serves to complete the information of the preceding verses which anticipate the arrival of the “man doomed to perdition” as a necessary event that must happen before the day of the Lord (2 Thess 2:3).  Unfortunately, we don’t know what it was that Paul said in the instance that is being referred to, making it particularly difficult to arrive at a precise conclusion of what is meant.  What is more obscure is v. 6, “and now you know what is restraining,” which implies an eschatological conclusion that the Thessalonian community arrived at, but as far as we know was never recorded and is now lost.

            Before we peer into the mystery of the new evil characters and forces of darkness at work in the final days, we will begin where chapter two begins, which is both the start of the body of the epistle, and the address of the occasion for writing (Esler).  There is some debate as to what the specific details of the occasion is which are interpreted differently depending on whether it is authentic Pauline or not (Ibid).  These differences refer to which particular group or message and at what time had provoked the false teaching that needed to be addressed, which was the belief that the day of the Lord had already come (Ibid).  The author, whom I will make no claims as to whether he was Paul or not, urges the congregation not to be “shaken” or “alarmed” by a teaching coming from an alleged Christian who announces that the day of the Lord has already come (2 Thess 2:1-2).  Whether it was a notion that emerged from millenarian excitement in the Thessalonian church, or was something a Gnostic brought to them, the author is clear that such a teaching is false (Ibid).

            The proof the author provides to justify his rectification against false doctrine is a reminder of a prerequisite event he calls “the apostasy” which has yet to occur.  He then goes into further detail of what this previous instruction he is referring to means.  His method is to employs a storytelling approach that introduces characters, plot, conflict, and resolution; a classic method of communicating spiritual truth in any culture or community (Gaventa 110).  The story approach serves both as a conveyance of information, but also to generate emotional investment which is charged by a sense of danger which is relieved by the encouragement for hope (Ibid 116).  The characters include the Lawless One, Jesus, Satan, the Restrainer, and the two anthropomorphized concepts of rebellion and the mystery of lawlessness (Ibid 110).

            Up first is the Restrainer doing the restraining (2 Thess 2:6-7).  This has been interpreted both as a positive character that holds back the mystery of lawlessness and the lawless one, and as a negative one which oppresses the church and restrains her (Elias 288).  The reason there are different interpretations is because of how one may translate the ancient Greek phrase to katechon and ho katechon (Elias 281).  The phrase is what refers to the Restrainer, whom for those who assert is a positive force is given an object noun to identify it as a person i.e. “And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his time” (2 Thess 2:6, Ibid 282).  Although admittedly I know very little about the ancient Greek language and cannot read it myself, my very brief studies of ancient languages in general have taught me that it is not unusual to need to supply such words to complete a translation.  For those who interpret the restrainer as an antagonist, to katechon and ho katechon are translated as the words oppression and oppressor, based on the various translation of the root word katecho throughout scripture (Ibid 282)

            So which is it?  If the Restrainer is a helpful character, some propose it is God himself, the Holy Spirit, or even the Roman Empire enforcing its laws (Beverly 114).  Those who claim it is an antagonist also point to the Roman Empire but emphasize its oppressive traits that work against the Christian church (Elias 283).  Seeing that I am unable to read ancient Greek myself, I’m inclined to agree with what is written in the Catholic Study Bible before me as I write this, which supplies an object and implies a positive role to the force/person.  However, more than that, it seems to logically flow that if the removal of this agent results in the release of the supernaturally evil Lawless One, then it is probably a force of good, which could be an angel, the Holy Spirit, or God himself. 

            We have arrived now at the Lawless One, whom as I mentioned above embodies evil to a supernatural degree (2 Thess 2:9-10).  The eschatological nature of this figure suggests that he can only be properly identified at the moment of his destruction on the day of the Lord (Gieschen 276).  It is as if saying his true name is the magic that breaks the spell and sends him back into the pit, like Rumpelstiltskin.  Jesus of course is prophesied to do this with the breath of his mouth (2 Thess 2:8).  Who is this great approaching enemy that the ancient author of Second Thessalonians foresaw?  Some interpret the Lawless One as not only predicted in Second Thessalonians, but as the same figure described in Daniel (Beeke 11).  The verse in reference is v.4: “who opposes and exalts himself above every so called god and object of worship…”.

This language that describes a man or king exalting himself in such a way is found in several places throughout the Hebrew Scriptures, those being Daniel 11:36, Ezekial 28:2, and Isaiah 14:13 (Gaventa 112).  The repeated use of this concept as a person becoming the total enmity of God’s people indicates that it is less important what prophecy refers to who, than it is that the language describes a particular human behavior which demonstrates the epitome of faithlessness and sin.  Examples of this happening are identified with Antiochus Epiphanes from Daniel’s passage, an unnamed king of Tyre from Ezekiel’s book, and an unnamed king of Babylon in Isaiah (Gaventa 112). 

The Lawless One is special in this regard, however.  Not only does he do that, but he does so with Satanic power that summons signs and wonders that deceive the people (2 Thess 2:9).  The details of how the Lawless One enters the scene are uncertain, but some propose that it means he is going to impress himself into the consciousness of the people as God, not by claiming to be that, but by performing Satanic signs that deceive people into believing it true (Beeke 12).  According to the author of this epistle, it’s the people who do not accept the truth of the gospel and are thus under the power of death who become this man’s victims (2 Thess 2:10).

The last verse to examine in this exegesis answers a very important question that many people have: why does this happen?  According to the author, God allows the Lawless One to have his way for a time because it is how he is going to differentiate the condemned from the saved (2 Thess 2:11).  This underscores the importance of adhering to the doctrine they hold to be true, and not allowing themselves to be deceived by anything that may come.  Although it appears that the Lawless One is going to totally dominate the world, the passage promises the hope of Jesus’ return which will destroy him, thus the author reassures his readers of the promise that has been made to them.

To sum everything up, I’ll restate the original author’s meaning in a way that holds as true to his intent as possible but doesn’t say it as a direct translation:  “Don’t worry, you haven’t missed your salvation because it hasn’t happened yet.  You’ll know it’s about to come because Satan’s man will take over the world first and be very convincing while he does.  That’s when Jesus will come, and the few who kept their faith will be saved.  So don’t ever give up, no matter how much you may want to.”

This is going to come off as perhaps a bit unusual and definitely heretical, but when I read this passage, I see Jesus as this supernaturally evil man.  These are my reasons: he’s a man, he’s sitting on the throne of God, and he’s propagating idolatrous human sacrifice to himself.  Obviously, the Christian community may find this idea utterly inappropriate and anathema.  Hear me out though, perhaps it is exactly the present version of Jesus that developed over two thousand years of a very bloody and contentious history that is precisely who was foreseen as the Lawless One in the first century.  I find it very likely that what is taught about Jesus today is nothing like what the initial Christians believed, let alone what the real Jesus intended when he walked the earth.
