WHAT IS MAN, THAT YOU ARE MINDFUL OF HIM?

©GERALD-MITCHELL.COM

WHAT IS MAN, THAT YOU ARE MINDFUL OF HIM?

IN THE FOLLOWING VERSES

OF "PSALM 8"

IS THE VERY REASON

WHY MAN WAS CREATED.

WHEN I READ THIS VERSE

IT HIT ME LIKE A FLOOD...

I FINALLY REALIZED THE

TRUE "MEANING OF LIFE".

WHO HAS NOT BEEN SEARCHING

FOR THIS ANSWER?

WHO HAS NOT WONDERED

WHY WE ARE ALL HERE?

IN 9 SIMPLE SENTENCES

THE LORD GOD EXPLAINS

OUR VERY EXISTENCE,

AND THE REASON FOR OUR CREATION,

AND OUR "PURPOSE IN LIFE".

WOW!!! WHAT A REVELATION!!!

IT NEVER CEASES TO AMAZE

ME HOW SIMPLE THINGS REALLY ARE,

YET, HOW COMPLICATED "MAN"

MAKES THINGS.

GOD POSSESSES "ALL KNOWLEDGE",

AND ONLY GOD CAN REVEAL

THIS KNOWLEDGE....

"MAN" CAN ONLY "WONDER",

WITHOUT ANY CERTAINTY,

AS TO WHY WE ARE HERE.

THIS IS NOT NEWS TO ME....

THIS IS SOMETHING I FIGURED OUT

LONG BEFORE I EVER READ THIS PASSAGE....

BUT, IT'S NICE TO HAVE CONFIRMATION

FROM THE LORD HIMSELF, NO?

HERE IS THE PROOF OF GOD'S
PURPOSE FOR MAN:
Psalm 8: 1-9

1: O LORD, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens 2: Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger. 3: When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained 4: What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? 5: For thou hast made him a "little lower than the angels", and hast crowned him with glory and honour. 6: Thou madest him to have dominion over (All Things)the works of thy hands; (That includes the "Angels")thou hast put all things under his feet: 7: All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field; 8: The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas. 9: O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!

REPEATED AGAIN IN "HEBREWS 2"

(GOD ALWAYS REPEATS THINGS

SO THAT WE DON'T FORGET),

BUT THIS TIME HE USED 18 SENTENCES

INSTEAD OF 9....

DOUBLE THE INFORMATION,

DOUBLE THE "CONFIRMATION"

Hebrews 2: 1-18

1: Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.2: For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward; 3: How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him; 4: God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will? 5: For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak. 6: But one in a certain place (DAVID - PSALM 8) testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man that thou visitest him? 7: Thou madest him a "little lower than the angels"; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands:8: Thou hast put "all things" in subjection under his feet (Including "Angels"). For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him. 9: But we see Jesus, who was made a "little lower than the angels" for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. 10: For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many "sons" unto glory, "to make the captain" of their salvation perfect through sufferings. 11: For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them "brethren", 12: Saying, I will declare thy name (The Lord) unto "my brethren", in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee (The Lord). 13: And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, "Behold I and the children which God hath given me". 14: Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 15: And deliver them who through "fear of death" were all their "lifetime subject to bondage". 16: For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. 17: Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto "his brethren", that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. 18: For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.

IF YOU DON'T HAVE "CHILLS"

RUNNING UP & DOWN YOUR SPINE

RIGHT NOW....

HEAD TO THE "MORGUE",

CAUSE YOU MUST BE "DEAD".!!

EVERY TIME I TRY TO TELL PEOPLE

"WHY WE ARE HERE"

I USUALLY GET THE LOOK LIKE I HAVE

2 HEADS OR SOMETHING....

THEY ACTUALLY THINK I'M CRAZY!!

I MUST BE HONEST AND TELL YOU THAT

REACTION IS VERY FRUSTRATING TO ME.

WHY?

BECAUSE I HAVE THE PROOF -

IN WRITING, FROM THE BIBLE...

WHICH THEY SAY THEY "BELIEVE IN"....

YET, THEY STILL THINK I'M NUTS.

THIS IS WHY I MUST SHOW YOU

WHERE THESE THINGS ARE WRITTEN,

AND, THAT I'M "NOT NUTS".

I'M JUST REPEATING WHAT I'VE READ

IN THE BIBLE....

SO, IF I'M NUTS, THEN

THE BIBLE IS NUTS TOO.

WHAT IS MORE CRAZY?....

YOU BELIEVING IN THE

BIBLE ALL YOUR LIFE?....

OR, ...

WHAT I'M REPEATING FROM

THAT SAME BIBLE

YOU BELIEVED IN ALL YOUR LIFE?

SO, IN REALITY....

IT SHOULD BE ME THAT'S

LOOKING AT YOU LIKE

"YOU" HAVE 2 HEADS,

AND LIKE "YOU'RE CRAZY",

BECAUSE YOU ARE DISPUTING

THE VERY THING YOU CLAIM

TO BELIEVE IN.

WELCOME TO MY WORLD.....

I AM CONSTANTLY CHALLENGED BY

IGNORANT PEOPLE THAT CLAIM

TO "BELIEVE" IN SOMETHING SO FANTASTIC

LIKE JESUS RETURNING FROM THE DEAD,

BUT, CAN'T BELIEVE THESE BIBLICAL FACTS.

HERE'S HOW ALL THIS STARTED FOR ME.

ORIGINALLY....

I WAS VERY RELUCTANT TO

EVEN READ THE BIBLE.

I THOUGHT, LIKE MOST PEOPLE DID,

THAT THE BIBLE WAS

WRITTEN BY "MEN",

AND IT WASN'T ACTUALLY

"THE WORD OF GOD".

HERE'S THE TRUTH:.....

IT IS WRITTEN BY "MEN".

(GOD DOESN'T WRITE THINGS DOWN).

OF COURSE IT'S WRITTEN BY MEN !

IT IS "INSPIRED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD" .....

ANGELS WOULD COME AND

SAY THINGS TO MEN,

AND TELL THEM TO WRITE IT DOWN,

AND TO TELL THE PEOPLE

WHAT THEY'VE BEEN TOLD.

THESE MEN WERE CALLED "PROPHETS"...

IN REALITY, THEY WERE SIMPLY

"MESSENGERS".

THERE WERE TIMES THOUGH,

WHEN THESE "PROPHETS" WERE ABLE

TO SEE INTO THE FUTURE...

WHICH MADE THEM "TRUE PROPHETS'.....

TRUE PROPHETS WERE ABLE TO

SEE AHEAD OF TIME.

REGULAR PROPHETS WERE JUST

MESSENGERS...

WHICH MEANT THEY REALLY WEREN'T

PROPHETS AT ALL.

THE TERM: "PROPHECY" REFERS TO

AN EVENT WHICH HAS NOT OCCURRED YET.

WHILE THE "MESSENGER" MAY BE

TELLING YOU ABOUT SOMETHING

"YET TO COME"....

IT DOESN'T MEAN HE ACTUALLY SAW IT.....

IT ONLY MEANS HE WAS

"TOLD ABOUT IT BY AN ANGEL,

OR, THE HOLY SPIRIT".

A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF A "TRUE PROPHET"

WOULD BE: "EZEKIEL"....

EZEKIEL WAS ACTUALLY TRANSPORTED

INTO THE FUTURE,

AND HE SAW WITH HIS OWN EYES THE

THINGS WHICH WERE TO COME.

ANOTHER EXAMPLE WOULD BE

"THE REVELATION OF JOHN OF PATMOS"...

WHICH IS COMMONLY KNOWN AS

THE "BOOK OF REVELATIONS".

SOME PEOPLE ARGUE THAT

THIS IS ACTUALLY THE REVELATION OF

"JESUS CHRIST" HIMSELF,

AND THAT "JOHN" WAS JUST THE WRITER.

IT IS MY OPINION THAT IT IS

ACTUALLY JOHN WRITING & SEEING

ALL THESE FUTURE EVENTS

PERTAINING TO OUR "END TIMES",

BECAUSE JOHN SAYS THAT

THE NEXT THING "HE SAW"

WAS SUCH & SUCH. SO,

I BELIEVE HE IS SPEAKING

IN THE 1ST PERSON.

HOWEVER....

THE PERSON "TALKING TO JOHN"

WAS - JESUS.

AT ANY RATE....

WHAT GOT ME STARTED ON MY JOURNEY

THROUGH THE BIBLE WAS THE "PROPHECIES",

AND I WAS ESPECIALLY INTERESTED

IN "OUR LIFE TIME".

(WHO WOULDN'T BE?)

I READ, AND READ, AND READ.....

AND WHEN I WAS FINALLY DONE READING,

I CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THERE

WILL BE "AN END TIME".

AND I WONDERED:

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THAT?

THERE WE ALL ARE....

HANGING OUT IN HEAVEN & PARADISE,

HAVING A WONDERFUL TIME.

THEN MY "MORTAL INSTINCTS"

STARTED TO KICK IN.

IF YOU ARE ANYTHING LIKE ME,

AND I'M SURE YOU ARE,

THEN YOU WOULD KNOW THAT

ANYTHING YOU DO FOR A LONG,

LONG TIME BECOMES VERY

BORING AFTER AWHILE.

JUST IMAGINE WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE

DOING "NOTHING" FOR AN ETERNITY.

AN "ETERNITY".....

FOREVER, & EVER, & EVER, & EVER,

& EVER....ETC..

SPEAKING PURELY FOR MYSELF....

I WOULD BE BORED AFTER MAYBE

10 YEARS OF THAT.

SURE, IT WOULD BE "PARADISE".....

BUT, EVEN PARADISE HAS TO GET

BORING AFTER AWHILE....

DON'T YOU THINK?

IMAGINE HAVING

"EVERYTHING YOU'VE EVER WANTED"....

THAT'S WHAT PARADISE IS.

SO, NOW THAT YOU HAVE

"EVERYTHING" YOU'VE EVER WANTED.....

WHAT'S LEFT????

SO NOW, I'M "STUCK" WITH THIS "PARADISE"

FOR "ETERNITY".

WHICH IS WORSE?....

BEING PUT OUT OF MY MISERY FOR ETERNITY....

OR LIVING FOR ETERNITY,

WITH NO END IN SIGHT?

AND, WITH NO PURPOSE!

YOU REALLY HAVE TO START LAUGHING

AFTER READING ALL THIS....

BECAUSE WE ARE SPENDING OUR

LIFETIMES STRUGGLING

TO GET INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD.......

THEN, ONCE WE ARE THERE,

WE ARE STUCK THERE FOREVER,

DOING "NOTHING".

I HAD TO QUESTION

WHY IS GOD DOING THIS TO US?

YES, I'VE READ ABOUT THE "GLORY & HONOR"

OF SERVING THE LORD, AND OUR "REWARD"

IS ETERNAL LIFE WITH GOD.....

BUT, ONLY IF WE "EARN IT".

GOD TRIED TO MAKE IT EVEN MORE

WORTHWHILE BY SAYING THERE WILL BE

THOSE WHO WILL RECEIVE "CROWNS"

ON THEIR HEADS.

I'M GUESSING THAT WITH THE CROWNS

COMES SORT OF A "LEADERSHIP" CAPACITY.

OK, SO WE'VE GOT ALL THESE PEOPLE

IN HEAVEN,

DOING "NOTHING",

AND NOW THERE'S SOMEONE

"IN CHARGE OF THEM"....

WHAT WILL THEY BE TELLING

THEM TO DO???

OK, LET'S TAKE THIS ANOTHER STEP ,

SHALL WE?.....

LET'S SAY THE PERSON WITH THE "CROWN"

GIVES ME AN ORDER TO "DO SOMETHING".....

WHAT IF I REFUSE??....HE CAN'T KILL ME:

"I'VE GOT ETERNAL LIFE"....

HE CAN'T SPANK ME....

I WON'T FEEL ANY PAIN.

WHAT CAN HE DO TO ME?.....

MAYBE HE'LL GO TELL GOD?

OK....WHAT WILL GOD DO TO ME?

I'VE ALREADY "EARNED MY WAY INTO HEAVEN"...

WILL HE REVOKE MY PRIVILEGES?......

NOT VERY LIKELY.

IT BECAME SUDDENLY AMUSING TO ME.

WHAT WAS THE POINT OF JUMPING THROUGH

ALL THESE HOOPS TO MAKE IT

INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD?

AND, WAS GOD JUST PLAYING WITH US?

WHAT'S THE POINT HERE??

I GUESS BY NOW YOU'RE THINKING

THAT "I DON'T BELIEVE IN GOD", EH?.....

SLOW DOWN...

I ASSURE YOU THAT I MOST CERTAINLY DO.

AND, I AM VERY EAGER TO ENTER

THOSE "PEARLY GATES".!!

ALL I AM DOING HERE IS

LAYING OUT THE GROUNDWORK

AS TO HOW I'VE COME TO

KNOW THE "TRUTH".

KNOWING THE TRUTH IS ONE THING....

"UNDERSTANDING IT"

IS ANOTHER THING ENTIRELY.

I'VE SAID IT BEFORE:

THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT CAN QUOTE

EVERY VERSE IN THE BIBLE,

BUT HAVE "NO CLUE WHAT IT MEANS".

SURE THEY "THINK" THEY KNOW THE TRUTH,

BECAUSE THEY KNOW THE WORD OF GOD.....

LET ME REPHRASE THAT:

THEY'VE "READ" EVERY WORD OF GOD.

DOES THAT MEAN THEY ACTUALLY

UNDERSTAND IT?.....

I THINK NOT.

TO SAY THEY KNOW THE TRUTH

IS EQUAL TO ME

BEING ABLE TO "READ MUSIC"...

BUT, DOES THAT MEAN I CAN

PLAY & WRITE MUSIC

LIKE "BEETHOVEN"???..........

WELL?....DOES IT?

OF COURSE NOT.

IT'S SOMETHING YOU

MUST HAVE "INSIDE YOU"....

NOT SOMETHING "OUTSIDE YOU"

THAT YOU HAPPEN TO BE AWARE OF.

SUCH IS THE WAY OF THOSE THAT

DON'T REALLY KNOW THE TRUTH.

THEY ONLY KNOW THE WORDS.

IT IS NOT EVEN ME THAT KNOWS THE TRUTH....

IT IS "GOD"....

GOD IS THE "TEACHER"...

HE POSSESSES ALL KNOWLEDGE....

AND, ONLY "HE" CAN REVEAL IT TO US.

WHICH IS WHAT HE HAS DONE IN THE

VERSES I QUOTED ABOVE.

BUT, WE ARE NOT THERE YET.

I AM TRYING TO GIVE YOU

THE "FOUNDATION"

BY WHICH YOU WILL KNOW

IT IS THE TRUTH.

HOW DO I DO THIS?.....

BY ELIMINATING ALL THE

OTHER POSSIBILITIES.

AND, BY SHOWING YOU HOW

ABSURD IT IS TO THINK OTHERWISE.....

JUST AS I DID ABOVE.

I SHOWED YOU THAT IT IS TOTALLY

RIDICULOUS TO THINK THAT JUST

GOING TO HEAVEN IS THE END OF IT.!

WHY?....

BECAUSE WE COULDN'T STAND AN

ETERNITY DOING "NOTHING"!!

THIS IS WHERE SIMPLE "LOGIC" KICKS IN.

PLEASE REALIZE THAT EVERYTHING

GOD DOES IS SO SIMPLE...

IT IS US (MAN) THAT MAKES IT COMPLICATED.

WHICH IS WHY, AFTER I AM DONE HERE...

MOST LIKELY "YOU" WILL THINK

I AM CRAZY TOO....

BECAUSE "YOU" COMPLICATE THINGS.

LET GOD DO THE EXPLAINING....

JUST SHUT UP AND LISTEN....

---------------------------------------------------------------

PRETEND FOR A MOMENT THAT YOU ARE GOD...
OK?

" I THINK I'LL CREATE MAN ".......

THEN SOMEONE ASKS YOU:
WHY ARE YOU CREATING MAN?

ANSWER:

I AM CREATING MAN SO THAT I WILL HAVE

SOME COMPANY IN HEAVEN, BECAUSE I AM ALL ALONE.

SO HE SAYS: AHH...THAT'S A GREAT IDEA....

MAY I ASK YOU SOMETHING ELSE?...
HOW LONG WILL IT BE UNTIL YOU TIRE

OF THIS MAN YOU CREATED???.....

AND, WHAT WILL YOU DO WITH THIS MAN

WHEN YOU ARE DONE WITH HIM???....

AND, WHAT OTHER PURPOSE WILL THIS MAN SERVE???

ANSWER: WELL...MAN WILL SERVE ME.

ANOTHER QUESTION LORD:....

WHAT DON'T YOU ALREADY HAVE

THAT MAN IS ABLE TO SERVE YOU??

DO YOU NOT HAVE EVERYTHING
EVER CREATED??....

WHY THEN DO YOU NEED MAN???

ANOTHER QUESTION LORD:

DO YOU NOT ALREADY HAVE "ANGELS"

TO SERVE YOU??...

DO THEY NOT DO ALL YOUR BIDDING???....

DO THEY NOT KEEP COMPANY WITH YOU????

ANSWER: YES, I HAVE "ANGELS" TO SERVE ME,

AND THEY DO ALL THAT I ASK....

AND YES, THEY ARE WITH ME ALWAYS & FOREVER.
AGAIN I ASK LORD: WHY DO YOU NEED MAN???

WHAT IS MAN, THAT YOU ARE MINDFUL OF HIM???
----------------------------------------------------------------

I HOPE THAT YOU WERE ABLE TO PUT

YOURSELF IN THE PLACE OF GOD,

AND JUST IMAGINE THAT CONVERSATION.

WHAT WAS GOD THINKING WHEN HE CREATED MAN???

WHAT WAS THE PURPOSE OF ALL THIS???

WHY DID JESUS CHRIST HAVE TO DIE

FOR THE SINS OF MAN???

ALL OF THOSE QUESTIONS ARE ANSWERED

IN THE 2 VERSES I QUOTED

FROM "PSALM 8 & HEBREWS 2".

THIS WAS THE PUZZLE THAT WAS

EVADING ME FOR THE LONGEST TIME.

I KEPT QUESTIONING - WHY???

WHY ARE YOU DOING ALL THIS LORD??

IT MAKES NO SENSE.

WHAT PURPOSE DOES ALL THIS SERVE?

HOW CAN WE "MORTALS" BE OF ANY

SERVICE TO YOU LORD??

WHAT CAN WE GIVE YOU THAT

YOU DON'T ALREADY HAVE??

IT WAS THEN THAT I REMEMBERED

THAT THE "ANGELS"

WERE CREATED BY GOD TO SERVE HIM.

THEY HAD NO CHOICE IN THE MATTER....

THEY HAD NO "FREE WILL".

THEY WERE NO DIFFERENT THAN A

HAMMER BEING USED BY A CARPENTER.

THERE WAS NO HONOR,

OR GLORY WITHIN THEM...

WHAT DID THEY EARN??

NOTHING.

YET, IN THE PASSAGES ABOVE IT

STATES THAT MAN WAS CREATED

"LOWER THAN THE ANGELS"....

IT ALSO STATES THAT "NOT YET"

ARE WE ENTITLED

TO INHERIT GODS KINGDOM!!

AHHHHH.....THERE IS A "CLUE" THERE....

WE MUST "EARN OUR GLORY & HONOR

OF OUR OWN FREE WILL".

THIS IS WHERE OUR "VALUE" COMES FROM.....

FREE WILL.

THE ANGELS ARE "JEALOUS OF US".

WHY ARE THE ANGELS JEALOUS OF US?....

BECAUSE GOD LOVES US MORE BECAUSE

"WE EARNED OUR GLORY".

Somehow, I'm pretty sure "That's"

the reason why SATAN hates us so much .

IT IS BECAUSE WE EARNED OUR GLORY

THAT WE ARE REWARDED WITH "CROWNS"...

WHICH MAKES US "HIGHER THAN THE ANGELS"

(THIS ONLY COMES AFTER WE ARE ACCEPTED

INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD,

BY WAY OF OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS)

WHAT DID GOD GIVE MAN AS A "GIFT"??

( A GIFT WHICH MUST BE EARNED 1ST ).....

WHAT DID HE GIVE MAN??

IT'S THERE - IN THE VERSES - WRITTEN TWICE!!

HERE IT IS:
PSALM 8: 5-6
5: For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour

6: Thou madest him to have dominion over

(ALL) the works of thy hands;

thou hast put "all things under his feet":

AND AGAIN IN HEBREWS 2: 7-8
7: Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands: 8: Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him," he left nothing" that is "not" put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him

LOOK AT THE LAST SENTENCE IN

"HEBREWS 2:8".....

"BUT, NOW WE SEE 'NOT YET'

ALL THINGS PUT UNDER HIM"

OH, HOW I LOVE THE WORD OF GOD.

SO CLEAR....SO PRECISE, SO SIMPLE.

I AM VERY CURIOUS AT THIS TIME

IF YOU'RE ON THE SAME PAGE THAT I AM??

I WONDER IF YOU'RE KEEPING UP WITH ME?

IF YOU'RE KEEPING UP WITH GOD???

IT'S NOT WRITTEN IN SOME

FOREIGN LANGUAGE, IS IT??

I THINK I'M READING THE

SAME THINGS YOU ARE.

BUT ARE WE BOTH COMING TO

THE SAME CONCLUSIONS??

DO YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT PUT ME

ON THIS COURSE IN THE FIRST PLACE??.....

I'LL TELL YOU: JESUS HAD TOLD US....

"IN MY FATHER'S HOUSE THERE ARE

MANY ROOMS.....

IF IT WERE NOT SO I WOULD TELL YOU".

I'm going to tell you a

"little secret of mine"....

If you ask me to

"quote a verse from the Bible",

I can do so; Quickly!

BUT, if you ask me where it was...

I hardly have the faintest clue.

I would perhaps know What Book it was in,

but, I couldn't tell you

what Chapter & Verse # it would be.

It's kinda like what I said Earlier....

you have to have

"SOMETHING INSIDE YOU",

NOT SOMETHING YOU'VE "MEMORIZED".

And, for me....

THE WORD OF THE LORD FLOWS THROUGH

ME LIKE LIVING WATERS.

What more can I ask for?

HERE IS THAT VERSE IN JOHN 14:
John 14
Jesus Comforts His Disciples

1 “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. 2 My Father’s house has "many rooms"; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and "take you to be with me" that you also may be where I am. 4 You know the way to the place where I am going.”

THAT VERSE PUT ME ON THE PATH TO ASK;

"WHAT ARE THE ROOMS",

AND WHY ARE THERE "MANY"???

ALL THE THINGS I WAS LEARNING IN

THE BIBLE WERE COMING TOGETHER

LIKE INSTANT JELLO PUDDING...

THE MORE YOU STIR IT, THE THICKER IT GETS,

AND IT FINALLY FORMS INTO WHAT IT'S
SUPPOSED TO BE ; PUDDING =))

I REMEMBERED "ABRAHAM"....

AND I REMEMBERED THE PROMISE GOD

HAD MADE TO ABRAHAM, AS FOLLOWS:

Genesis 15
1 After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward. 2 And Abram said, LORD God, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus? 3 And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir. 4 And, behold, the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir. 5 And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and count the "stars", if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.

AND THEN I ALSO REMEMBERED THE BOOK OF "DANIEL":

Daniel 12
The Time of the End
1 "At that time shall arise Michael, the great prince(ARCHANGEL) who has charge of your people. And there shall be a time of trouble, such as never has been since there was a nation till that time. But at that time your people shall be delivered, everyone whose name shall be found written in the book. 2 And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. 3 And those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the sky above; and those who turn many to righteousness, like the "stars" forever and ever. 4 But you, Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book, until the time of the end. Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase."

AND THEN I REMEMBERED WHAT JESUS SAID IN

THE BEATITUDES IN THE SERMON AT THE MOUNT:

Matthew 5
The Sermon on the Mount
1 Seeing the crowds, he went up on the mountain, and when he sat down, his disciples came to him.

The Beatitudes
2 And he opened his mouth and taught them, saying: 3 "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4 "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. 5 "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. 6 "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. 7 "Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy. 8 "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. 9 "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called "sons" of God. 10 "Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 "Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. 12 Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

AND I ALSO REMEMBERED JESUS SAYING

"WE ARE BRETHREN" (BROTHERS)

Revelation 12:10
10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our "brethren" is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.

WHERE DID I END UP WITH ALL THIS KNOWLEDGE??

I REALIZED THAT UNTO MAN

A GIFT IS GIVEN,

THE GIFT IS "ALL OF CREATION"....

ALL THAT "THY HANDS HAVE MADE".

WHY DO I REMIND YOU OF THE "STARS",

AND WHY DO I RELATE THEM TO THE

"SONS OF GOD"??

BECAUSE, AS "SONS OF GOD",

WE INHERIT HIS KINGDOM,

AS HE IS OUR FATHER....

WE ARE THE BROTHERS OF CHRIST,

AS HE CALLS US BRETHREN,

AND BLESSED ARE THE "SONS OF GOD".

WHAT IS IT THAT

"THY HANDS HAVE MADE"?.....

ALL OF CREATION !!

AND MAN HAS DOMINION OVER

"ALL THINGS THAT THY HANDS HAVE MADE"...

THE MANY ROOMS, ARE THE MANY "STARS",

AND THE DESCENDENTS OF ABRAHAM

SHALL BE LIKE THE "STARS IN THE SKY"....

THEY WILL "BE" THE "STARS" IN THE SKY.

SUCH IS THE KINGDOM OF GOD,

AND HIS INHERITANCE TO MAN,

HIS SONS, AND TO HIS CHRIST,

OUR BROTHER WHO WILL BE THE

"CAPTAIN" OVER ALL OF US.

AND SO....THE "ENTIRE UNIVERSE"

IS THE KINGDOM OF GOD,

AND AS SONS OF GOD WE SHALL

RULE THESE PLANETS & STARS,

AND WE SHALL BE LIKE GOD....

FOR THE FATHER IS IN US,

AND WE ARE IN THE FATHER....

WE ARE ONE.!!

NOW OUR PURPOSE IS FINALLY REALIZED,

AND GOD CAN FINALLY

"REST FROM ALL HIS WORK"....

FOR, NOW HIS "SONS" WILL CONTINUE

THE ORIGINAL WORK OF GOD,

AND THAT IS TO SPREAD THE LIGHT OF GOD

THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE....

AND EVEN BEYOND THAT....

AN EVERLASTING EXPANSION OF LIGHT

AMONGST THE DARKNESS,

UNTIL THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE IS FILLED

WITH THE LIGHT, AND GLORY OF GOD.

THIS WILL BE OUR JOB, OUR MISSION,

OUR SERVICE, OUR "PURPOSE",

AND IT IS EARNED THROUGH THE

GLORY OF OUR OWN SACRIFICE OF

OUR VERY LIVES FOR THE

SAKE OF THE WORD OF GOD.

WE WILL BE SOUGHT OUT,

AND PERSECUTED FOR HIS NAMES SAKE....

AND THOSE WHO STAND STRONG

TO THE VERY END SHALL BE REWARDED

WITH THE "CROWN" OF GLORY,

AND WE SHALL BE GIVEN A NEW NAME,

AND A NEW HEART, AND A NEW BODY,

AND A NEW SPIRIT,

AND WE SHALL PRAISE HIS NAME,

FOR HE SAW FIT TO GIVE US

ALL THAT HE HAD CREATED,

AND WE EARNED IT

OF OUR OWN FREE WILL.

FOR THIS REASON,

WE ARE THE MOST LOVED BY GOD....

BECAUSE WE DID IT OF OUR OWN FREE WILL,

THEREFORE OUR REWARDS SHALL BE THE "GREATEST OF ALL"....

WE SHALL INHERIT ALL THAT GOD POSSESSES.!!

NO, HE WILL NOT BE OUR RULER,

HE WILL BE OUR FATHER,

AND WE WILL BE HIS SONS,

AND WHAT WAS ONCE THE FATHERS...

NOW BECOMES THE SONS.

THEREFORE HE GIVES US DOMINION

OVER "EVERYTHING"......FOREVER.

THIS IS WHY WE WERE CREATED.
