What is the Garden of Eden?

 The Bible is both literal and allegorical.  In Ezekiel 4, God has Prophet Ezekiel do some very literal things.  Prophet Ezekiel laid on his side for 390 days, and this was an allegory for the siege of Jerusalem.  We had something literal, Prophet Ezekiel laying on his side, that was representative of something, an allegory, that became a literal something, the siege of Jerusalem.  The Spiritual is layered like the Atmosphere.  On the ground level, there may be something literal.  Going up layers, we have allegories.  These allegories can come down again, and manifest as something literal.  Working to explain the Garden of Eden, there is something literal.  Also, working to explain the Garden of Eden, there may have been something allegorical or spiritual.  

Lets give another example.  God asked Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac.  Abraham, in obedience to God, he made an alter, and set his son on the alter, and raised his knife poised to strike. Abraham needed to be willing to sacrifice his son, his son who was a promise from God, Abraham needed to be willing to in his heart.  God stopped Abraham from actually doing it.   Abraham setting up to sacrifice Isaac, this was a literal event.  Abraham being obedient to God, it may have "Set" something in the Spiritual, in the atmosphere.  Later, God sent The Lord Jesus Christ, as his only begotten son, a sacrificial lamb for our sins.  Something was "Set" up in the principalities, the spiritual, it came down and manifested physically later. 

Daniel in Daniel 7, Daniel had a dream of beasts.  These beasts may have been entities in the spiritual or principalities.  Through Christian Tradition of men Seeing the Spiritual, and Spiritual Discernment, it may have been that the Beasts of Daniel 7 manifested in the character of certain Kingdom or Empires from time to time.  Something spiritual manifested and became literal. 

Talking about the Garden of Eden, it may not be wrong to say that the Garden of Eden is like the Island of Atlantis.  The Island of Atlantis was a place separate from other men and civilization.  All knowledge on the Island, it was under God.  All philosophical concepts and things, all dates, all symbols, they were being used as God created them in intelligent design.  This would be The Kingdom of God.  Sin entered the Island.  The Island sank.  

Was there a very literal Garden of Eden?  In understanding God, and the spiritual, yes, there was a very literal Garden, and it may have been much older than 6000 or so years old. 

Previous Post:  "God's Divine Scavenger Hunt Part 3."

Around May 23, 2014, I had become aware that I could command angels.  I had authority.  Uriel, he may have had a duel purpose or nature where he could leave a man lost, or be a guiding light.  I worked to keep him in front of me.  I may have found The Spiritual Garden of Eden, and it manifested.  

Safe Numerology

 Numerology can be a danger for some people.  Numerology delves into a Bible Code.  Someone could end up a Millerite, standing up on a mountain, waiting for a rapture that was not happening that day.  Someone could end up getting into demons and occult things.  Someone could end up seeing things that are not there.  I will share with you how I learned about The Bible and numbers. 

I received a calling around the age of 30.  (Luke 3:23)  I have been working for God for over a decade.  Did you know what I was going to do today?  I didn't either other than work for God, and build God's Kingdom.  I didn't have plans.  Sometimes there are adult responsibilities I have to fulfill.  Mostly, I have lived like a hermit, more or less, and take my queues from God.  

Starting out, around the age of 30, in 2014, I may have ended up tweeting eight tweets on Twitter.  The idea for these tweets started with God.  I rolled with whatever God gave me.  I may have ended up creating some sort of artistic arrangement of music to teach something or tell a story.  I didn't often know exactly what I was going to do that day.  Reflecting on what God gave me through tweets or posts on Facebook, I may have discovered or seen some things after the fact. 

On a particular day, I may have had 8 tweets.  I internet searched "What does the number eight mean in the Bible."  I may have seen some things. 

On a particular day, God may have had me do some particular things, and these these may have aligned with certain feast days, or event that I didn't have prior knowledge of.  God destroyed the Temple of Jerusalem twice on the 9th of the Jewish Month of Av.  There is something to how God works and dates.  Are we going by a calendar based on the sun or the moon?  You may need God to understand.  I learned by working for God, rolling with what God gave me on a particular day.

Internet searching "What does the number 8 mean in the Bible," God may have shown me things or pointed me in the right direction.  I became aware of God and numbers.  July 2014, through God, I ended up calculating the Devil's number through what I was doing on Facebook with God. 

There is something to Numerology.  Someone needs to be "in God." Trying to calculate it outside of God, someone may become lost.  

Demons and Numbers

 Today's Question:  What is the deal with demons and numbers? 

Context is important.  There may be a couple different contexts for demons and numbers. 

Some people have ventured into numerology wrong.  They may have been making some false associations with numbers, in sin, trying to force their will over something.  

The number 72 is an interesting number. 

• The Talmudic Jews say there are 72 names of G-d.  
• There is a story about King Solomon trapping 72 demons in a vessel, and forcing them to serve him.  I believe this is from "The Lesser Key of Solomon."
• Muslims have believed when someone is martyred, they received 72 virgins in heaven.
• Given someone was to internet search "The Number 72 in the Bible," someone may discover some interesting things.
  

 There may be a Spiritual reality to the number 72, where God has a particular meaning and use for it.  There also may have been a Demonic Stronghold associated with the number 72 due to people venturing into numerology wrong, and/or false prophets.  

Someone like Joseph and Daniel interpreted dreams.  There has been a "Spiritualism" around the interpretation of dreams, where someone worked to control how people perceived dreams.  This may have been a Demonic Stronghold.  There is a reality to the interpretation of dreams.  Was someone of God's Holy Spirit, or into "Other Spiritualism?" 

Some Christian Churches have been Cessationalist, believing that the gift of the tongues, for example, ended with the Apostle's generation.  Satan was a liar and a thief.  Did certain Churches cede something?  There may have been a Demonic Stronghold around tongues, and due to the Stronghold, some possessed persons broke out in tongues.  

What is the deal with demons and numbers?  In one context, certain people were doing wrong in numerology. 

In another context, a demon may have been able to possess a certain amount of people at once.  The demon had a number.  Sully Erma, lead singer of Godsmack, he has been a Wiccan.  He sings the song "1000 Hp." I have reason to believe that would be "Faust." 

There is an interview from the 1980's with Anton LaVey's daughter, and another Satanist.  Anyone can join the Church of Satan for $100 they said.  They may not use you, nor like you, anyone can join.  They were looking for particular people of worth.  Freemasons, also, they recruit men of worth.  In the Satanic context, a demon may have had a number, and they were looking for particular people in positions of power and influence to possess with particular spirits.  

Demons and numbers is a theme that pops up in pop culture every so often, and has popped up in history.    

Politics and Truth

People who love Jesus Christ love Truth and justice.  What is the reality of something? 

A woman is pretty.  She is an eight out of ten.  What is the reality of her? 

A lot of men, talking to a pretty woman, they may have conjured an image in their minds of whom they wanted her to be.  They created a false image.  One man may have looked at her, and hoped they she hadn't been with too many other men, or was "mostly a virgin."  One man may have looked at her, and hoped that she was a total prostitute, and he was about to lay with her.  A lot of men may have started to create a false image in their heads.  What is the reality?  Understanding politics is similar.  There is Truth behind certain ideas and ideologies and how they work. 

Given I was on Reddit talking to a Socialist about Socialism......he was most likely an egotist who that he knew better.  All the past failures of Socialism and Socialist, they don't compute to him.  He believed that his way was the better way, and he believed "it will work this time." 

In 2014, I was sitting with God.  My purpose and vision was The Kingdom of God, and the Kingdom of God has particular values.  Rome wasn't built in a day, but given I had a year, who or what was most in the way?  The easy answer was Secular Humanism.  What was most in the way was not other religions or sects.  It was an ideology that was working against Christians and Christianity. An ideology that was permeated in countries that were supposed to be Christian.  An ideology that has been poisoning Christians, and keeping people from growing in faith.  

What is the reality of something or someone?  Some people, they have had a public face and a private face.  They had a face they wore in public, like a woman wearing make up.  Without that make up, who is someone really?  I suppose, given a man really cared to, he could find himself a damp rag.....secure a woman in a headlock, and gently remove all the make up as she screams and curses at him.  That may get a man into trouble.  It may just be healthy to realize that people are not always what they seem.  God knows everything.  We ask God.  Jesus, he perceived through his Spirit.  A man learning to talk to God may have perceived correct things about people. 

Just like how many men have developed false images of women in their heads, a lot of people have developed false images of various ideas and concepts and ideologies.  What is the reality of those ideas?  This gets us into truth.  Given someone can understand the reality of an idea, they may be able to see where the idea came from, and where it is going or leading people to.  Also, they may always be able to ask God. 

Mankind's Biggest Threats 2025

 Who is a Christian....really?  A lot of Christians may have been well meaning.  They want to do well by God.  A generation or two ago, something shifted in how people thought, and were being taught.  Something shifted in perceptions.  People were not finding God.  People were in sin.  Many may have developed Hearts of Stone.  Someone could have been a Christian like someone was a New Orleans Saints Football fan.  They showed up to events, and rooted for the team.  Faith is a journey. Someone needs to be on a journey of faith in a personal relationship with The Lord Jesus Christ.  A lot of evil has been derived from lack of God. 

What are Mankind's Biggest Threats, and things to watch for in 2025+? 

Luciferians - Someone believed God was the dark, and man or something else was the light. 

A lot of the world's problems have been caused by Luciferians.  There is a broad scope of potential issues there. 

Why are there Muslims in Europe?  Islam wasn't the threat or the problem.  The problem was fallen Christians, and Luciferians.  Given there is a major economic crisis, does much of Europe end up like the Bosian War?  Luciferians who have been in charge of Economics, they may have been steering the world towards a major economic crisis.  Luciferians in  the EU, they wanted to promote "Diversity."  Given the Welfare establishment in Europe crashes, what happens?  Could that be a "Race War?"  There is a lot of ugly things that may happen in the chaos that may occur during a major economic crisis. 

Transhumanism

Some Luciferians, they ended Social Darwinists and Eugenicists.  Social Darwinism went out of style after Hitler and the Japanese did some grotesque things.  Social Darwinism never really went away.  

Man is made in the image of God.  A man's body is a temple for God's Holy Spirit.  Given someone was tampering with DNA, they could  potentially make mutants that could not have God's Holy Spirit.  This may spark a series of horrible events. 

AI

I can't say I know much about AI, at this time, other than, sinful society is thirsty for it.  Is there a danger there that corporations and governments are speeding us into? 

There may be a period of great turmoil ahead.  It may have been cause by a couple centuries of Luciferians doing wrong, and culminating in something that dwarfs World War I and World War II.  I may be able to write a lot about it, and show someone.  Generations of a rejection of God among the Academic, Media, and Political establishments may be about to culminate into something really horrible. 

Funny or Interesting Testimonies

 I have had a lot of interesting experiences over the last decade or so.  There is a lot of testimony.  Some of it is hard to prove.  

Exorcism and Demons -  

I can feel demons on, or around my forehead, at times.  They are like an air that sits on my forehead, and tries to burrow into my mind.  When I pray, or make statements of faith, there is a reaction from them.  They don't like that.  Still.....being oppressed, as a servant to my sorrow, I looked for solutions.  I did some problem solving.  

Online, I found an exorcist, a Protestant named Brother Carlos.  Brother Carlos has had some Youtube videos of personal exorcisms, that is, casting out demons and spirits for the viewer of the Youtube video.  The demons that were on my head, they did react to Brother Carlos.  I did learn a few things from Brother Carlos, and how he was praying. 

Fast forward several years, maybe five or so years, and I perceived to check back up on Brother Carlos.  I searched for Brother Carlos on Youtube.  I found some videos where people were exposing Brother Carlos for some corruption, and Brother Carlos ended up homeless or something.  He was starting over looking for funds, and asking for money.  It may be that Brother Carlos ended up with some demons.  I don't know the whole story, at this time.  Something was wrong. 

Demons did reacted to Brother Carlos, and they reacted to his exorcism videos.  At the time, I didn't catch anything wrong with him, and watching said videos, there was some relief. 

I have cited Fr Ripperger, a Catholic Exorcist.  It is interesting comparing and contrasting Fr Ripperger with Brother Carlos.  Something interesting about Catholic Exorcists is that they claim a foundation, an inheritance, from the first century, that has been unchanged.  The Catholic Exorcists are sometimes at odds with the Catholic establishment.  Looking at exorcism, including botched exorcism that has made it in the news from time to time, there are clear themes that someone may be able to see.  Someone has to desire to change.  A demon may have needed to be made miserable.  Serving God, and being obedient to God, makes a demon miserable.  

Evil is the Privatization of Good.     

To best understand this testimony, someone may need:  "Theology - Good and Evil" on In God We Trust.

I was never trained in Theology at a Divinity School.  I am a certified teacher with a degree in Social Studies Education.  Starting out, working for God, I had basic understanding of Theology for a life long Protestant Christian from a Non-Denominational Church.  Not much. 

Some people have set themselves against God.  Some people, some philosophers and their followers, they created ideology that set itself against God and Christianity. 

For Example

Modern Liberalism -  Believes all people are born good.  

Christianity - Original Sin.  All people were born flawed and evil. 

I started citing Saint Augustine....all over the internet, talking about Evil as the Privatization of Good.  In 2015 or so, this was helping win internet arguments in the comment section of news articles.  Someone outside of God, believed they were a good person, and they were looking to privatize good.  To an ideologue, like a Modern Liberal, or a Socialist, they alone were good, and anyone who was aligned with them was good.  Everyone who was not aligned with them was evil, a deplorable, bourgeoisie, and so on.  The Left was working an Us vs Them Dichotomy, and they were clearly evil.  The Left was evil in what they were doing, and they were evil as men and women outside of God.  

I wrote about the Privatization of Good a lot for a two years or so.  I was on /r/Theology, and I had written about the Privatization of Good there, for several months, maybe eight or so months, without anyone correcting me.  One day, I was corrected.  Saint Augustine had not written about the Privatization of Good.  Saint Augustine wrote about the Privation of Good, that is, the absence of God.  That was embarrassing.  I was corrected.  I took the correction. 

Reflecting.....the Privatization of Good was not wrong, as an idea, and looking to understand Good and Evil.  In the Privatization of Good, outside of God, there was a Privation of God. 

I have not been wrong in the last decade.  Sometimes I have been mistaken slightly, and made an error towards greater understanding.

iFunny - 

In 2014-2016 or so, I did iFunny on my iphone4.  Memes.  Routinely, things I wrote about with God, or things I was doing with God, I would find evidence of 1-3 days later on the featured meme's of iFunny. 

There was a lot going on where I had the type of relationship and authority with God where I was on top of The World and new.  It wasn't just iFunny where I was finding evidence of things unseen.  I could find evidence of things I had been sowing through God's Holy Spirit in the news as well....iFunny was funny. 

Growing in faith can come at a leap.  Sometimes growing in faith comes with baby steps.  I had been growing in faith with God with iFunny.  I had evidence of things unseen.  (Hebrews 11:1) 

That is all for today. 

Demonology

 Today's Question:  What do you know about Demons? 

Fr Chad Ripperger, an exorcist, with free lectures on Youtube, he has been a great source to help validate and explain some things I have experienced.  "Conference On Exorcism," and a few other lectures were helpful. 

More or less, given someone has progressed a certain level in faith, they may be attacked.  Satan and demons are attracted to authority.  Was someone hearing from God?  Demons may have worked to get in-between man and God, and steal away things.  Sometimes it may have been an intrusive thought.  I shake those off.  I shake them off like a woman shaking out her hair.  Shake them off and don't worry about them.  Sometimes, they work to steal things God has been giving me.  I sing songs in my head, and I pray unceasingly, or otherwise work to keep my mind busy.  

I like The Lord's Prayer and Psalms 23.  Every so often God may give me a prayer or some words to use.  I have liked to sing "Agnus Dei" in my head. 

Being oppressed, it can be obnoxious, or annoying.  I mostly just ignore it. 

I became aware that there have been Christians who have written about Demonology before.  There has been valid information readily available online. 

Every so often, I had dealt with an entity that had a name.  I don't know that I care to give those testimonies, at this time. It may give someone nightmares or worse.  I don't know that writing about the topic of demons.....too much more than I have, is healthy for a general internet audience.  

The Question: Is there such a thing as "Psychic projection?"  

Yes. 

My head is sort of like a radio.  I pick up things.  Sometimes I have picked up occult people.  I defeat them.  What they were doing to project was being done through demons.  I ended up with their demons for a few hours or so after defeating said occult people.  Someone like Aleister Crowley wrote a little about that.  It may be worthwhile to watch a documentary on Crowley, given someone was unaware, and serious about Spiritual Warfare.  There are also some interesting testimonies from ex-Freemasons on the topic. 

I suppose I am pretty knowledgeable on the topic of demons.  It is more about not going too fast where someone kills themself or something.  

There is a State of Faith.  Faith is hope for things unseen.  (Hebrews 11:1)  Faith is also a state where there is no doubt and no fear.  Fear of God is a good thing.  Fear of God takes away fear of man.  (And other things.)  God is love.  God's love is fatherly.  You are doing the right things?  What do you have to fear?  Perfect love knows no fear. 

Being "In God," working to build the Kingdom of God, someone may have naturally ended up in their full armor of God without much thought or effort.  Someone needs to be in God, growing in faith.
