The character and fate of all humankind reside with these spirits. All the hosts of humanity, generation by generation, are heirs to these spiritual divisions, walking according to their ways; the outworking of every deed inheres in these divisions according to each person’s spiritual heritage, whether great or small, for every age of eternity. God has appointed these spirits as equals until the last age, and set an everlasting enmity between their divisions. False deeds are thus an abomination to the truth, whereas all the ways of truth are for perversity equally a disgrace. Fierce dispute attends every point of decision, for they can never agree. In his mysterious insight and glorious wisdom God has countenanced an era in which perversity triumphs, but at the time appointed for visitation He shall destroy such forever. Then shall truth come forth in victory upon the earth. Sullied by wicked ways while perversity rules, at the time of the appointed judgment truth shall be decreed. By His truth God shall then purify all human deeds, and refine some of humanity so as to extinguish every perverse spirit from the inward parts of the flesh, cleansing from every wicked deed by a holy spirit. Like purifying waters, he shall sprinkle each with a spirit of truth, effectual against all the abominations of lying and sullying by an unclean spirit. Thereby He shall give the upright insight into knowledge of the Most High and wisdom of the angels, making wise those following the perfect way. Indeed, God has chosen them for an eternal covenant; all the glory of Adam shall be theirs alone. Perversity shall be extinct, every fraudulent deed put to shame.

In Luke 22, we see the picture of Christ just before the persecution. His body is symbolized by the breaking of bread. Today, Christians are that bread.

Why should we listen to a religion that practices ritualistic cannibalism? Just like drinking the wine which is supposed to be his blood.

Haha, I guarantee I will have the exact same view. Will you admit that you were wrong? Unlikely, there will be an excuse.
I believe that everything that you do bad comes back to you. So everything that I do that’s bad, I’m going to suffer from it. But in my mind, I believe what I’m doing is right. So I feel like I’m going to heaven.

I could not agree with you more. Well-done. This world will certainly not see the year 2020. It is the third day.
See you on the mountaintop.

Many people are watching for Armageddon, but that last war does not take place until the 1000 years are ended.

The 1,000 years of the "third day?" Or the second? The third day, the "day of the Lord," is, I believe, the 1,000 years where Christ rules the entire world, after Armageddon and after Satan and the Antichrist have been thrown back into perdition... but that will be on the New Earth, under the New Heavens. Armageddon comes near the end of the Tribulation Period, between the 6th and 7th Bowls. Right?

I'm just not sure... The end of the seventh day is also "the end of ALL things." But there have to be 1,000 years of Christ in total control of humanity, 1,000 years after his return, after Tribulation, after Satan's thrown into the pit, 1,000 years without Satan deceiving humanity. "It Is Finished" isn't the end of all things, it's the end of "Babylon" and the Whore and the Antichrist. It's the end of all bad things. "The light of a lamp will never shine in you again," Rev. 18:23 says; why would it say that if "the end of all things" had just happened? Christ will raise us up on the third day; that means at any point during the third day (roughly between 2000 and 3000 AD). Then the 1,000 years of peace begins, and then is the end of all things, and only the Kingdom (with its New Heavens and New Earth) will exist once more. I see now that Jesus will reign 1,000 years on this earth, not the New Earth, but... Armageddon definitely seems to me to be timed for the end of the sixth day, not the seventh.
By the way, I like how you include the Apocrypha in your reference material. Way too many people ignore it completely. But be careful; I'm sure some of it was demonically-inspired... and I don't know which ones. I'm only certain that the Gospel of Thomas is divine. Probably Peter's as well. That talking Cross is too weird to be made-up.edit on 1/10/2013 by Thought Provoker because: I see now.
