Rapture 9

Rewards yet to come

Words are like a tree and a tree is what started this whole mess we are in. So if words went into the tree of knowledge then what is it that holds us to evil? The answer in a moment.

Now I give knowledge away for free. I don't ask for money and even if I did there wouldn't be anyone who would give it. The problem is I spent two years in pain and in suffering trying to find a way to salvage this story from the dumpster. Now if that doesn't make sense then let me tell you that Sin is a spirit.

You didn't know that and I can tell you why. You have never fought it. Never. No one has. I was the first and probably the last and that is fine. But I was the only one to fight Sin. Jesus never fought Sin perse he just fought with men. He struggled with sin and he knew what Sin was but he didn't have to fight it because he figured men would. They did but they overcame their own sin and that was about it.

Well I guess this story could be about sin or Sin but I get bored with that. I fight and I write and I blah, but no one blahs me. So I can write whatever I want here and no one will care. At least not yet. Someday they will and then it will be me Vs them in the showdown of the century. Lets imagine it. You and I are on the road to Hollywood. There are two hundred contenders for Sin prize. God is bringing in all the men of wisdom from all ages. There will be Peter and James and Paul and others who will come and try to deal with a Sin spirit that God will create just for one night of fun.

Now you will have to decide who is going to win. You'll have an hour to decide. There will be a few from earth and a few from other worlds. They'll all have impressive resumes. All will be men of battle and all will be men of strength. Perhaps even Samson will be there. Maybe even Solomon. And David, King of Israel. And it will go on and on and on and on with names we all know and love.

And then God will present to the winner of the battle with sin. Well, anyone who wants to show up. There will be takers and Paul will be there to fight and the rest of us as well. The fact is no one on earth can fight sin. It is impossible. It just isn't possible. You'll see what Sin can do and it will amaze you and terrify you. He'll be the most evil spirit you have ever seen.

And when it seems there is no one left then will step out one man. One man named Him. The Great and the Almighty and the one we all want to see. And He will shake His head and said "I didn't die to fight sin. I died that man might have life. I never wanted sin."

Of course that sounds like a copout but who cares? He is Jesus and we love Him and we shake his hand and we think "Wow, that was Jesus."

Then God will say "Son, why don't you beat Sin?" And Jesus will shake his head and say "I never fought Sin I fought evil." And that is the spirit that Sin is. He is evil and he who was Christ, fought evil. And He, as God, beat the tar out of it. And it was done in seconds. And Sin fled and didn't fight him who was Christ again.

So everyone thought it was over. And Sin fled and everyone laughed and God just looked and no one had changed. People still fought and still gave in to sin and still faced their life as if no one cared. Yet Jesus fought Sin and sin and Satan and evil and all bad and overcame them in seconds. They didn't disturb him. They just fought and fought and fought tooth and nail because they didn't end. Jesus didn't stop to fight with them he ran to Paradise because there were 3 to the billion of ten and that is an impossible number of evil spirits to fight. So Jesus had to run and he was in his spirit so he didn't feel pain. But he had no idea that evil had spread so far and so fast. He saw it and said "God, destroy them if you can." And so God did. He destroyed them all that chased after Jesus. And within minutes they were replaced. Not one or two to the billions of ten but to the trillions of ten and to the quadrillions of ten until the number didn't matter. They were without number.

Now you say they couldn't exist. They would starve. So it was thought but Sin wasn't an ordinary spirit. It was a spirit created to feed from sin. And it was created to feed every evil spirit that could exist from beginning to end. And that meant that Jesus ran and ran and ran until he reached the gate of Paradise.

Now the gate of Paradise is built to withstand demonic spiritual attack. It has to because otherwise they would fall into the pit and just fill it up in a second. So God sent them back until they ceased to exist as people. They just went back to the beginning and it was His beginning. And those spirits who fell into it came out different. Not evil but spiritless. Without fervor. Crying out to God "Don't send us into the abyss." It was for them worse then hell and worse then anything the mind could conceive. For it was God. And God gave them Himself. And that meant they had to live just one moment of His life because they stole it on the cross. And He, who was God, was so angry that He destroyed every person who ever existed. All of us. That includes you and me. Because time was not meant to exist. And God had to endure it. And it was hell. And it was why even in hell God was there. And it meant the spirits knew it and were so afraid not one wanted to go there. Not one wanted to endure it. Not one wanted to see God.

So it seemed. Because that is the way it was to God. But not God. You see it went like this. Sin entered into the body of Christ when Christ had to leave it behind. It could not run and it was broken and he woke up in excruciating pain. He was shattered by men and they had crushed him. This means that no bone was broken but in hell they didn't care. While he slept they had broken him into pulp. And he awoke and he shattered them. From one end of time to the next he who was Christ who was God went into every spirit that hurt him and broke them.

It would be the equivalent of destroying every man, woman and child that ever existed. And Jesus did it because they were trying to steal his broken side in order to find a way out of the abyss. They could not help it. They were under control of a spirit called sin and sin was the small side of Sin. And each of them went into convulsions and each of them was torn from their evil side in that moment. For despite what they did Jesus forgave them.

And that might sound impossible to believe but he did know it would be rough. He just didn't know it would be difficult to impossible for they wanted out even when they were set free. So he ran and they followed. Not one or two but all of them. And that was the least number you can conceive for the bodies were taken over by sin and by demon and by power and by principality.

And above the hubbub of time and space God saw they would take the body of Christ. It was a mess and it was destroyed. Yet He took it and rebuilt it and allowed Sin to take it. And that meant that it became Sin and it was a spirit that was indestructible.

Now if this sounds foolish remember that God knew something Sin didn't. Sin didn't care. For the first time he could handle whatever was thrown his way. Not one or two or three or four or five people praying but all people praying all at once. The body took it and bounced. And that meant it was healed of all its prods and pushes and wounds.

Now he wasn't the antichrist but if the antichrist had this body it would be a cinch for the head wound to be healed. It was Sin and Sin wasn't a mentioned spirit only sin. Yet sin was part of Sin and that is perhaps why God didn't say anything to us. Because if we could not defeat the sin in our life what were the odds we could deal with the spirit that took the body of Christ? Zero. Or so it seemed.

The problem wasn't prayer but lack of understanding. Jesus knew it and tried to teach it to his disciples. Even until the garden they didn't understand that one hour of prayer was the key to success. Now it didn't stop them from killing him but it gave Christ power over hell and the grave. And that is where we are now. For the power of hell is under authority and so is the grave. They were put into the hands of a man named Christ. And they were given to those who overcame. And that was all men who overcame. And that was meant to be all of us but we never did understand this. We didn't know what overcoming was. So we failed. And we lost the battle to sin.

Well, it didn't have to end there and it wasn't meant to be a story of failure. God wanted us to realize He had a plan and it wasn't the back up plan. That was a plan where He pressed the Destruct button on earth. That was us. We didn't need it and it wasn't Armageddon but just the end of man as a program of love. It would have meant that the worlds He had created would have ended. It would have meant that everything that had breath, even that which praised the Lord, would have to end. Why? Because since the turn of the century only one man overcame. That was a man who turned out to be a simple one. A simple man who was severely disabled. And he was the one who had to turn up in Hollywood when God came. For God was going to be the new mogul of movie. And that meant as the new Producer He needed a good director. And that meant He wanted man to be free of sin and of Sin. And Jesus will be there and so will those who have failed to prod forth the one thing they needed. Prayer.

It will be a battle of the ages as God tests every man there with sin. For God will not show them Sin for it would terrify them. It would scare them. It would shake them to the core. For that is only the warmup to a movie which is coming. A movie where God will shake the entire world. For He will show that sin arrived. Not Christ or Him who is God but Sin. For Sin will step in as the sumo wrestler of the ages. No one has beaten him and no one could. He carries the mass of the bend of time and it will rip the fabric of the curtain. And out will step the one person who could and did take the body of Christ. The one body that could not be destroyed. The one body that has to be returned to its rightful owner. Jesus. So that one will have to argue with the King of Kings over the body in front of the entire world.

Now you think you know how it is going to end. And you might be right. For Sin is the spirit that owns the body but all is not as it seems. For that you have to turn in to the rapture of the body. For that is the rapture meant to happen. The one where only one man was ready. But he could not fight with Sin and fell into darkness and sorrow and obscurity.
