Choices
In God’s creation and processing exercise, He chose one Son
to be His designated “savior of all”.
This son was with Him at the beginning.
Man’s TESTING began in the Garden of Eden. The Creator –Teacher reveals His purpose, “that
I should learn whether he has love towards me, or hatred, that it be clear
which in his race love me. 16 For I have seen his nature, but he has not seen
his own nature, therefore through not seeing he will sin worse, and I said:
'After sin what is there but death?' Secrets of Enoch 30:15-16. He calls this tryst an “exercise”, but we
call it suffering.
Ecclesiastes 1:13 And I gave my heart to seek and search out
by wisdom concerning all things that are done under heaven: this sore travail hath God given to the
sons of man to be exercised therewith.
Romans 8:18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present
time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in
us. 19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the
manifestation of the sons of God. 20
For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of
him who hath subjected the same in hope, 21 Because the creature itself
also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious
liberty of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth
and travaileth in pain together until now.
Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood,
but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness
of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
What follows are scriptures which use parables and
allegories to describe man’s “wrestle” with invisible powers of darkness and
our REDEMPTION by our Savior, the Lamb of God!
Secrets of Enoch 30:10 I conceived a cunning saying to say,
I created man from invisible and from visible nature, of both are his death and
life and image, the knows speech like some created thing, small in greatness 11
and again great in smallness, and I placed him on earth, a second angel,
honourable, great 12 and glorious, and I appointed him as ruler to rule on
earth and to have my wisdom, and there was none like him of earth of all my
existing creatures. 13 And I appointed him a name, from the four component
parts, from east, from west, from south, 14, 15 from north, and I appointed for
him four special stars, and I called his name Adam, and showed him the two
ways,. the light and the darkness, and I told him: 'This is good, and that
bad,' that I should learn whether he has love towards me, or hatred, that it be
clear which in his race love me. 16 For I have seen his nature, but he has not
seen his own nature, therefore through not seeing he will sin worse, and I
said: 'After sin what is there but death?' 17 And I put sleep into him and he
fell asleep. And I took from him a rib and created him 18 a wife, that death
should come to him by his wife, and I took his last word and called her name
mother, that is to say, Eva, .
Secrets of Enoch 31:3 And he was continuously in paradise,
and the devil understood that I want to create another world, because Adam was
lord on earth, to rule and control it. 4 The devil is the evil spirit of the
lower places, as a fugitive he made, he made Sotona from 5 the heavens as his
name was Satomail, thus he became different from the angels, but his nature did
not change his intelligence as far as his understanding of righteous and sinful
things. 6 And he understood his condemnation and the sin which he had sinned
before, therefore he conceived thought against Adam, in such form he entered
and seduced Eva, but did not touch Adam. 7 But I cursed ignorance, but what I
had blessed previously, those I did not curse, I cursed not man, 8 nor the
earth, nor other creatures, but man's evil fruit, and his works.
The powers of
darkness become negative testing resources
Enoch 89: And He gave them over into the hands of the lions
and tigers, and wolves and hyenas, and into the hand of the foxes, and to all
the wild 56 beasts, (Isaiah 47:6) and those wild beasts began to tear in pieces
those sheep. And I saw that He forsook that their house and their tower and
gave them all into the hand of the lions, to tear and devour them, 57 into the
hand of all the wild beasts (Revelation 13:4-7). And I began to cry aloud with
all my power, and to appeal to the Lord of the sheep, and to represent to Him
in regard to the sheep that they were devoured 58 by all the wild beasts. But
He remained unmoved, though He saw it, and rejoiced that they were devoured and
swallowed and robbed, and left them to be devoured in the hand of all the
beasts. 59 And He called seventy shepherds, and cast those sheep to them that
they might pasture them, and He spake to the shepherds and their companions:
'Let each individual of you pasture the sheep 60 henceforward, and everything
that I shall command you that do ye. (John 10:7-10) And I will deliver them
over unto you duly numbered, and tell you which of them are to be destroyed and
them destroy ye.'(Isaiah 45:5-7) And 61 He gave over unto them those sheep. And
He called another and spake unto him: 'Observe and mark everything that the
shepherds will do to those sheep; for they will destroy more of them than 62 I
have commanded them. And every excess and the destruction which will be wrought
through the shepherds, record (namely) how many they destroy according to my
command, and how many according to their own caprice: record against every
individual shepherd all the destruction he 63 effects. And read out before me
by number how many they destroy, and how many they deliver over for
destruction, that I may have this as a testimony against them, and know every
deed of the shepherds, that I may comprehend and see what they do, whether or
not they abide by my 64 command which I have commanded them (Deuteronomy 32:39-41).
But they shall not know it, and thou shalt not declare it to them, nor admonish
them, but only record against each individual all the destruction which 65 the
shepherds effect each in his time and lay it all before me (Revelation 18:24). 74 And as touching all this the eyes of those
sheep were blinded so that they saw not, and (the eyes of) their shepherds
likewise; and they delivered them in large numbers to their shepherds for
destruction, 15 and they trampled the sheep with their feet and devoured them.
And the Lord of the sheep remained unmoved till all the sheep were dispersed
over the field and mingled with them (i.e. the 76 beasts), and they (i.e. the
shepherds) did not save them out of the hand of the beasts. And this one who
wrote the book carried it up, and showed it and read it before the Lord of the
sheep, and implored Him on their account, and besought Him on their account as
he showed Him all the doings 77 of the shepherds, and gave testimony before Him
against all the shepherds. And he took the actual book and laid it down beside
Him and departed. 74 And as touching all this the eyes of those sheep were
blinded so that they saw not, and (the eyes of) their shepherds likewise; and
they delivered them in large numbers to their shepherds for destruction, 15 and
they trampled the sheep with their feet and devoured them. And the Lord of the
sheep remained unmoved till all the sheep were dispersed over the field and
mingled with them (i.e. the 76 beasts), and they (i.e. the shepherds) did not
save them out of the hand of the beasts. And this one who wrote the book
carried it up, and showed it and read it before the Lord of the sheep, and
implored Him on their account, and besought Him on their account as he showed
Him all the doings 77 of the shepherds, and gave testimony before Him against
all the shepherds. And he took the actual book and laid it down beside Him and
departed.
Secrets of Enoch 90:20 And I saw till a throne was erected
in the pleasant land, and the Lord of the sheep sat Himself thereon, and the
other took the sealed books and opened those books before the Lord of the
sheep. 21 And the Lord called those men the seven first white ones, and
commanded that they should bring before Him, beginning with the first star
which led the way, all the stars whose privy members and 22 were like those of
horses, and they brought them all before Him. And He said to that man who wrote
before Him, being one of those seven white ones, and said unto him: 'Take those
seventy shepherds to whom I delivered the sheep, and who taking them on their
own authority slew more 23 than I commanded them.' And behold they were all
bound, I saw, and they all stood before Him. 24 And the judgement was held
first over the stars, and they were judged and found guilty, and went to the
place of condemnation, and they were cast into an abyss, full of fire and
flaming, and full 25 of pillars of fire. And those seventy shepherds were
judged and found guilty, and they were cast 26 into that fiery abyss, And I saw
at that time how a like abyss was opened in the midst of the earth, full of
fire, and they brought those blinded sheep, and they were all judged and found
guilty and 27 cast into this fiery abyss, and they burned; now this abyss was
to the right of that house. And I saw those sheep burning and their bones
burning. (Revelation 19:19-21) 28 And I
stood up to see till they folded up that old house; and carried off all the
pillars, and all the beams and ornaments of the house were at the same time
folded up with it, and they carried 29 it off and laid it in a place in the
south of the land. And I saw till the Lord of the sheep brought a new house
greater and loftier than that first, and set it up in the place of the first
which had been folded up: all its pillars were new, and its ornaments were new
and larger than those of the first, the old one which He had taken away, and
all the sheep were within it.
God’s PLAN for
REDEMPTION
Enoch 46 1 And there I saw One who had a head of days, And
His head was white like wool, And with Him was another being whose countenance
had the appearance of a man, And his face was full of graciousness, like one of
the holy angels 2 And I asked the angel who went with me and showed me all the
hidden things, concerning that 3 Son of man, who he was, and whence he was,
(and) why he went with the Head of days? And he answered and said unto me: This
is the Son of Man who hath righteousness, With whom dwelleth righteousness, And
who revealeth all the treasures of that which is hidden, Because the Lord of
Spirits hath chosen him, And whose lot hath the pre-eminence before the Lord of
Spirits in uprightness for ever. 4 And this Son of Man whom thou hast seen
Shall raise up the kings and the mighty from their seats, [And the strong from
their thrones ] And shall loosen the reins of the strong, And break the teeth
of the sinners. [And he shall put down the kings from their thrones and
kingdoms] Because they do not extol and praise Him, Nor humbly acknowledge
whence the kingdom was bestowed upon them. 6 And he shall put down the
countenance of the strong, And shall fill them with shame. And darkness shall
be their dwelling, And worms shall be their bed, And they shall have no hope of
rising from their beds, Because they do not extol the name of the Lord of
Spirits. 7 And these are they who judge the stars of heaven, [And raise their
hands against the Most High], And tread upon the earth and dwell upon it. And
all their deeds manifest unrighteousness, And their power rests upon their
riches, And their faith is in the gods which they have made with their hands,
And they deny the name of the Lord of Spirits, 8 And they persecute the houses
of His congregations, And the faithful who hang upon the name of the Lord of
Spirits.
Enoch 48 1 And in that place I saw the fountain of
righteousness Which was inexhaustible: And around it were many fountains of
wisdom: And all the thirsty drank of them, And were filled with wisdom, And
their dwellings were with the righteous and holy and elect. 2 And at that hour
that Son of Man was named In the presence of the Lord of Spirits, And his name
before the Head of Days. 3 Yea, before the sun and the signs were created,
Before the stars of the heaven were made, His name was named before the Lord of
Spirits. 4 He shall be a staff to the righteous whereon to stay themselves and
not fall, And he shall be the light of the Gentiles, And the hope of those who
are troubled of heart. 5 All who dwell on earth shall fall down and worship
before him, And will praise and bless and celebrate with song the Lord of
Spirits. 6 And for this reason hath he been chosen and hidden before Him;
Before the creation of the world and for evermore. 7 And the wisdom of the Lord
of Spirits hath revealed him to the holy and righteous; For he hath preserved the
lot of the righteous, Because they have hated and despised this world of
unrighteousness, And have hated all its works and ways in the name of the Lord
of Spirits: For in his name they are saved, And according to his good pleasure
hath it been in regard to their life. 8 In these days downcast in countenance
shall the kings of the earth have become, And the strong who possess the land
because of the works of their hands, For on the day of their anguish and
affliction they shall not (be able to) save themselves. 9 And I will give them
over into the hands of Mine elect: As straw in the fire so shall they burn
before the face of the holy: As lead in the water shall they sink before the
face of the righteous, And no trace of them shall any more be found. 10 And on
the day of their affliction there shall be rest on the earth, And before them
they shall fall and not rise again: And there shall be no one to take them with
his hands and raise them:For they have denied the Lord of Spirits and His
Anointed. The name of the Lord of Spirits be blessed.
Isaiah 49:6 And he said, It is a light thing that thou
shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the
preserved of Israel:
I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my
salvation unto the end of the earth. 7 Thus saith the LORD, the Redeemer of
Israel, and his Holy One, to him whom man despiseth, to him whom the nation
abhorreth, to a servant of rulers, Kings shall see and arise, princes also
shall worship, because of the LORD that is faithful, and the Holy One of
Israel, and he shall choose thee. 8 Thus saith the LORD, In an acceptable time
have I heard thee, and in a day of salvation have I helped thee: and I will
preserve thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, to establish the
earth, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages; 9 That thou mayest say to
the prisoners, Go forth; to them that are in darkness, Shew yourselves. They
shall feed in the ways, and their pastures shall be in all high places.
Isaiah 60:1 Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the
glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. 2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover
the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee,
and his glory shall be seen upon thee.
Isaiah 9:2 The people that walked in darkness have seen a
great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath
the light shined.
1 Peter 3:19 … he went and preached unto the spirits in
prison; 20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God
waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that
is, eight souls were saved by water.
As you know, Jesus in his ministry addressed devils in and
on the bodies of men in the crowds. Some
of them were cast out and complained about it!
Mark 5:7 And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I
to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God,
that thou torment me not. 8 For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou
unclean spirit. 9 And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying,
My name is Legion: for we are many.
Psalm 68:18 Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led
captivity captive: thou hast received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious
also, that the LORD God might dwell among them.
Jesus preached salvation to those evil spirits who were born
down here in the pit and not previously condemned with their fallen parents.
John 8:12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the
light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall
have the light of life.
John 8:21 Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and
ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come. 22 Then
said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot
come. 23 And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of
this world; I am not of this world. 24 I
said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not
that I am he, ye shall die in your sins. 25 Then said they unto him,
Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same that I said unto you
from the beginning. 26 I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he
that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard
of him. 27 They understood not that he spake to them of the Father. 28 Then
said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know
that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me,
I speak these things. 29 And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not
left me alone; for I do always those things that please him. 34 Jesus answered
them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant
of sin. 35 And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son
abideth ever. 36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free
indeed. 43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my
word. 44 Ye are of your father the
devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from
the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him.
When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the
father of it. 45 And because I tell
you the truth, ye believe me not.
To be spared the conviction of their parents, a devil would
have had to believe Jesus, trust his Words and change his behavior. All a man has to do is wait on Father to
“call him” from death and the grave.
Hosea 13:14 I will ransom them from the power of the grave;
I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will
be thy destruction: repentance shall be hid from mine eyes.
Luke 20:36 Neither can they die any more: for they are equal
unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the
resurrection. 37 Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush,
when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God
of Jacob. 38 For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live
unto him.
This parable summarizes man’s “exercise” with devils
Matthew 21:33 Hear another parable: There was a certain
householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a
winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into
a far country: 34 And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his
servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it. 35 And
the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned
another. 36 Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did
unto them likewise. 37 But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They
will reverence my son. 38 But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among
themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his
inheritance (mankind, Psalm 2:6-8). 39 And they caught him, and cast him out of
the vineyard, and slew him. 40 When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh,
what will he do unto those husbandmen? 41 They say unto him, He will miserably
destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen,
which shall render him the fruits in their seasons.
John 10:7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I
say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. 8 All that ever came before me are
thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. 9 I am the door: by me if
any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am
come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. 11
I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. 12 But
he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not,
seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth
them, and scattereth the sheep. 13 The hireling fleeth, because he is an
hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
2 Baruch 51:15 For what then have men lost their life, And
for what have those who were on the earth exchanged their soul? 16 For then
they chose (not) for themselves this time, Which, beyond the reach of anguish,
could not pass away: But they chose for themselves that time, Whose issues are
full of lamentations and evils, And they denied the world which ages not those
who come to it, And they rejected the time of glory, So that they shall not
come to the honour of which I told thee before.'
2 Baruch 51:1 And it shall come to pass, when that appointed
day (of reaping) has gone by. that then shall the aspect of those 2 who are
condemned be afterwards changed, and the glory of those who are justified. For
the aspect of those who now act wickedly shall become worse than it is, as they
shall suffer torment. 3 Also (as for) the glory of those who have now been
justified in My law, who have had understanding in their life, and who have
planted in their heart the root of wisdom, then their splendour shall be
glorified in changes, and the form of their face shall be turned into the light
of their beauty, that they may be able to acquire and receive the world which
does not die, which is then promised to 4 them. For over this above all shall
those who come then lament, that they rejected My law, and stopped 5 their ears
that they might not hear wisdom or receive understanding
2 Esdras 7:since we (devils) 55 [125] have made depravity
our home. Those who have practised self-discipline shall shine with faces
brighter than the stars; but what good is that to us 56 [126] whose faces are
darker than the night? For during a lifetime of wickedness we have never given
a thought to the sufferings awaiting us after death.' 57 [127] The angel
replied, 'This is the thought for every man to keep in mind 58 [128] during his
earthly contest: if he loses, he must accept the sufferings you have mentioned,
but if he wins, the rewards I have been describing will be his. 59 [129] For
that was the way which Moses in his time urged the people to 60 [130] take,
when he said, "Choose life and live! " But they did not believe him,
61 [131] nor the prophets after him, nor me when I spoke to them. Over their
damnation there will be no sorrow; there will only be joy for the salvation of
those who have believed.'
Wisdom of Solomon 5:1 Then the just man shall take his
stand, full of assurance, to confront 2 those who oppressed him and made light
of all his sufferings; at the sight of him there will be terror and confusion,
and they will be beside themselves 3 to see him so unexpectedly safe home.
Filled with remorse, groaning and gasping for breath, they will say among
themselves: 'Was not this then 4 man who was once our butt, a target for our
contempt? Fools that we were, 5 we held his way of life to be madness and his
end dishonourable. To think that he is now counted one of the sons of God and
assigned a place of his 6 own among God's people! How far we strayed from the
road of truth! 7 The lamp of justice never gave us light, the sun never rose
upon us. We roamed to our heart's content along the paths of wickedness and
ruin, wandering through trackless deserts and ignoring the Lord's highway. 8
What good has our pride done us?
Regarding choices, our Father CHOSE the way for each
offspring He created. We all must face
devils in the prison of hell where they reside.
Jesus is responsible for calling each child upward: “I will draw all men
unto me”, John 12:32. But devils have to
choose Jesus and follow him. They made their choice by
killing him and nailing him on a cross.
Pay-back time approaches!
Glorify God!
God did it!
