Job and the Great Pyramid – Part 2

Another research topic I looked into was the great pyramid of Egypt. It has been explained away to be thousands of years old, some attribute its construction to aliens. But there is a truth of the matter, so who built it? Well I will go right to the point and say that there has been some suggestion that Job of the Bible built it. And it was because of this massive construction project that he undertook along with his other worldly success, that he was humbled before God and men (Job 42). There are at least two references for such a claim that can be looked into, Dr. Herman Hoeh, and Charles Adiel Lewis Totten.

There has been writing about the dimensions of the pyramid and its prophetic signs. And no doubt there is some significance to the dimensions, as the Biblical people were educated from God. One scripture that is quoted to argue the point of Job being the builder is in the book of Job 38:4-6. God asks Job, where he was when God laid the foundation of the earth, the suggestion is that Job built the great pyramid with it’s foundation, but where was he when God laid the foundation of earth?

Now, there is an interesting claim to why the pyramid was built. The name of the builder was Cheops, this likely was Job, and it was being built for none other than Joseph, whom helped the ancient Israelites through the famine. This is likely the case because there is a Job mentioned in the Bible, that would have been around the same age as Joseph (Gen. 46:13). Job would have been Joseph’s nephew.

The Picts and the Aberlemno Stone – Part 3

Hello All, it has been a long while since I have written and my life circumstances have changed dramatically. I am currently in St. Joseph’s hospital in Hamilton being treated for schizophrenia. How is that for personal information. Nevertheless, this week and possibly some following I will talk about a few interesting research topics I was looking into before I got here. The first is the Picts and their stones. You can look into them at your leisure by searching the internet, but the stone I would like to speak of in particular is the Aberlemno Stone.

Last, it is important to remember that as followers of Jesus. He is to come first in all of this, and our identity historically is important, but most important should be an identity in Jesus Christ of Nazareth (Gal. 3:28). He is the Saviour of us all, after all, and has died on the cross for the forgiveness of our sins, he was buried and the third day He arose to give us the hope and promise of eternal life in His Holy name. Alleluia and praise the LORD. Amen and Amen.

Next, let us talk about the possible meaning of the stone in more detail. The double discs could very well represent the two religious authorities during the Picts time about 600 A.D., the Egyptian, Greco-Roman mythologies in the south disc, and the Norse and Celtic religions in the northern disc. The serpent in the top left may represent the tribe of Dan and their earlier travels to the area of the British Isles (Gen. 49:17). And the what looks like a mirror and comb, in the bottom right may represent the Persian, Babylonian, etc. empires that amongst other things concerned themselves with imagery (Dan. 3:1-7).

I will go right to the point and say that the double disc and z rod shape depicted on the stone likely represents a map of the ancient Israelites travel from Israel proper to Scotland, through the Caucasus in southern Russia, into France and Spain, and then onto England, Ireland and Scotland. Some historical evidence of this can be found in the Declaration of Arbroath. A 1320 declaration of Scottish independence of sorts, addressed to the Pope of Rome at the time.

What is the New Jerusalem? – Part 3

What is the New Jerusalem? – Part 3

The idea is certainly not new and even the Old Testament describes newness of things especially in Isaiah 65. But the New Jerusalem is something described in detail in the Book of Revelation. It certainly is spiritual first and foremost, but it may also be describing natural things to come. Some have suggested that the “New Jerusalem” is here on earth, and others have suggested that we all have a destination beyond this planet, that is in the heavens, the “New Jerusalem”. This week I will talk about the idea of the “New Jerusalem” using the Bible as the go to reference book of choice…cont’d.

The last important point of the new Jerusalem is that it represents eternal life; newness, refreshing and forgiveness (Rev. 21:1, 3-7). There are many more verses to describe the Jerusalem from above, but it is probably best understood in the context of the Holy Spirit. God is Spirit after all (John 4:24). And this “new Jerusalem”, although likely having a literal context at the final resurrection and judgement of all mankind, has a much simpler context today. It represents the Holy Spirit descending on Jesus like a dove, it represents our acceptance of God’s kingdom in our own life and finally it represents the final destination of all of those whom believe in and follow Jesus Christ of Nazareth to the end (Rev. 21:8-27). It is a place that, like God, is Holy and will never be destroyed. It is the place where peace and righteousness dwell forever (Rev. 22)!

In the epistles it describes the Jerusalem from above as being the “mother” of us all (Gal. 4:26). And Hebrews 12:22-24 speaks of the spiritual context of this “heavenly” Jerusalem, “But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, to the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, and to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.” This describing the nature of heaven itself, which is God’s spirit essentially, the fellowship of the church made perfect in Christ and Jesus Christ himself as the High Priest before God and men.

One article would not do justice, the description of the idea of the “New Jerusalem”, but I will sum up a few points about it. The first and most important idea being that of marriage, the topic is spoken of by Jesus many times and is completed in the final chapters of the Book of Revelation. It says in Rev. 21:2, “And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.” Jesus spoke about the kingdom of heaven in parables as a wedding supper (Matt. 22:14, 25:1-13, Luke 12:36). And God speaks in the Old Testament about His ongoing relationship with Israel through referencing marriage (Isaiah 49:18; 61:10, 11). The point is that marriage is an important, arguably the most important part of God’s plan for us as humans, both physically and more importantly spiritually.

Part of the problem, solution or neutral… – Part 2

In the military, staying out of trouble meant being the “grey” man. This type of person does not say or do too much or too little. Just enough to be of use without looking like a “brown nosier” or a “sleuth”. And this has its roots in the Bible (Eccl. 10:11-15, 18). We can become zealous at times to a fault and attempt to bring things to pass that were either not meant to be or are not at the right time. Jesus did say seek and you shall find, but how far do we go and where do we go and whom do we seek to find the truth? And what are the results? This week I will talk about the topic of problem solving using the Bible as the go to reference book of choice…cont’d.

In John 6, the disciples were speaking with Jesus about what type of work they should do. And Jesus said that the work of God is to “believe on him whom he sent” (John 6:29). What a simple way of explaining the reason why we are here on earth.  In general the Bible says to “…study to be quiet, and to do your own business…” (1 Thess. 4:11). The fact of the matter is that Jesus said that we would have troubles in this life, but do not fear, because He has overcome the world (John 16:33). We can try our best to be a “grey” man, “coast” through life or “just go with the Flow”, which may be possible for some people in this life and God bless them for it. But for those who do experience troubles, we need to know and understand that Jesus is still there with us!

In Jeremiah it says that if the heavens could be searched out above and the depths beneath that God’s covenant with Israel would be removed (Jeremiah 31:37). It is interesting that with science and technology today, these could come to pass. Whether or not mankind ever completely understands the heights of heaven and the depths of the earth entirely could be argued until the final judgement. However, as the Bible says, “…with God all things are possible” (Matt. 19:26). Nevertheless as individuals we can still do our part in bringing God’s plan for mankind here on earth and in eternity to come to pass. This will always start with accepting the true God and Jesus Christ as our Saviour and authority, above all else in heaven and in the earth.
