Dedication To one mesmerising beautiful special lady.
i
Acknowledgements I would especially like to thank both my parents and grandparents who, through their upbringing and especially their foresight, made it possible for me to write this story down. Those who know God know that certain outstanding positions or deeds are only possible through God's love for the Father. As it is well known, King Solomon inherited his love through God's love for his father and was thus blessed with wisdom and the choicest of wives. Just like King Solomon, I have also had insights into the most diverse areas of life and have been blessed by God with this work, which brings forth an epoch-making perspective, but also insights that will stand forever. Furthermore, I would like to thank the angelic audience and especially my angelic fans, who supported me in all my actions and acted decisively in some rare special moments, sometimes also to the bad I must admit. But in the end my fans turned it around! In grateful memory of the ladies who know me really well, my parents Manfred and Jutta, my brother Manuel, my

closest friends and companions during my journey through the different phases of life!

About the Author Philipp Fusz was born on 18 September 1987 in Memmingen and grew up in the tranquil town of Kempten (Allgäu) in a strict evangelical household. After graduating from technical college, the author began an apprenticeship as a bank clerk at a leading German private bank in the Munich/Bavaria South region, which he successfully completed. After completing his civil state service, Philipp Fusz began his studies in business administration, which he completed via various stations in Germany and abroad with Bachelor of Arts (Hons) and then with Master of Science in Munich, Germany. Due to his analytical perception and keen intuition, his professional career quickly took him from Frankfurt (Main) to Hamburg during his studies, where he gained various insights in a wide range of internationally oriented management-related positions in the field of strategy and controlling in the chemical, raw materials and energy industries as well as in audit-related accounting consulting for capital market-oriented companies at a leading international auditing firm.

Preface Due to an incident, the author again develops a ‘need’ for spiritual values and recalls his childhood. However, this recollection has a huge impact on several people. It seems that there is clearly more to it. Life and personal condition change drastically. Dreams and even nightmares suddenly come back into life and are followed by inspirations (including prophetic dreams) of various kinds, which are confirmed shortly afterwards. It seems as if God has shown himself personally to bring the truth to light. Suddenly, an understanding of the Holy Scriptures is developed, which was not there before. The author went through a personal journey to hell, lasting over three years. For two millennia, humanity has been trying to decipher the reason for the earth’s creation and the appearance of the Messiah. Almost all religions have diverse views. There is talk of everything from total destruction to liberation. Nevertheless, on closer examination, no religion is sure what the right way is, nor does it have the complete image of God before its eyes. The book’s main objective is to shed light on the darkness and offer new ways of thinking by providing explanations supported by an interdisciplinary approach, vi
which is both technically sound and supported by first-hand experience. The aim of the book is, above all, to explain to the reader the main features of the Holy Scriptures and to put them into context with epochal events in the history of mankind. It also aims to determine God’s real will and answer why three theologies exist in the Bible and what their main differences are. Due to the sometimes very complex and abstruse events in the scriptures, many find it challenging to interpret and analyse the scriptures correctly, nor do they agree on the leading view of the respective theologies. The result is disunity in Christianity and also in Islam, where there are different religions and ideas as well as fragmented or even splintered groups. This book is also intended to form a new denominator to bring the respective views into a more centred opinion and thus bring about peace between the individual parties. It also strives to break down mental barriers and provide an independent picture of how things are seen. A mediating picture of all currents should be created to convey a generally valid view that is well-founded and does not stand against but rather for each other. An attempt to convey a realistic view of the way things are. It is an epochal attempt vii
to create a foundation to be recognised worldwide! The numerator is God, and the denominator should be this work! The author clearly favours international law and stands for peace and understanding. However, by combining the facts based on evidence and the theological foundation, the author has attempted to draw a ‘new’ worldview which does not deviate from the theological interpretation of the scriptures to understand current world events. In business administration, a congruence of a target-performance analysis is usually considered a correct representation and thus classified as target fulfilment. The author is of the unambiguous opinion that statements made to the public should also represent the actual state of affairs and should not be produced by misdirection or based on fraudulent deception. He is aware of his responsibility but is also responsible for describing a correct and accurate picture of actual conditions. Since our earth and galaxy have been created on the basis of natural laws, there is a de facto solution to all problems and challenges in purely theoretical terms. I want to show the reader a solution to the current most significant challenges and present it in a theologically sound context.

In addition, the reader receives the ‘tools’ to make better decisions in the future and recognise the causes of problems at an early stage.
ix
In the Beginning, God Created Earth At the outset, it should be mentioned that the work is based on the following assumptions. I will do this with a certain amount of sauciness, on the one hand, to amuse the reader and, on the other hand, to emphasise that this is a factbased work which has not been written based on ‘pipe dreams’ or wishful thinking. The earth is a round globe. It is also called the blue planet. The solar system exists. The respective (researched) laws of nature apply. There must be a higher power that is responsible for the human species. Nothing comes from nothing. Due to the simplicity and the already proven way of looking at things, the starting point or the framework construct God, Garden of Eden (Adam and Eve), Satan and Jesus Christ are deliberately chosen since even scientific findings would not deny this framework construct. Instead, science forms evidence for this basic construct (more on this also in this book). This view is thus underpinned by Christian and Islamic theology as well as on the basis of scientific research and excavations. The Bible explains the creation process succinctly, but the background is still unclear. Above all, three central questions of human life have not yet been answered: 1
1. Why are we alive? 2. What was the intention behind it? 3. Do we provide/generate any added value through our lives? Secondary questions like: why do we grow old? Why do we die? Why is there so much suffering? have already been explained by theology and the most diverse religious currents from their respective scriptures. This will not be the primary subject of the review, but these topics will be touched upon. In addition, it must also be permitted to ask a central counter question here. Would the explanation change if we knew the answers to questions 1 and 2? To summarise, the famous apple (i.e. a fruit) is said to be responsible for the secondary questions already mentioned. Jesus Christ then came to earth to die to undo everything (death, suffering, imperfection). That was about 2,000 years ago. Since, nothing has happened except for man’s progress, especially in the 20th century or from the invention of the light bulb by Thomas Alva Edison in 1879. Somehow the equation apple (liability) + Jesus (asset) = 0 has not yet worked out! Many people have resigned due to the numerous abuse scandals
of the respective churches
2
and
religious
communities and the crusades in the Middle Ages, where wars were fought in the name of the Lord. Be that as it may, to be able to classify this ‘chaos’ of human history correctly, the beginning must once again be illuminated to build up an analytically clean structure of reasoning and present a clear line of argumentation. It is nothing more than an attempt to establish a standard work as an explanation for central questions of human existence and their backgrounds. In addition, this work is intended to bring the hierarchy of our universe closer to the reader. It should be worth mentioning again that the author is not pursuing a religious character. It is a milestone that a ‘non-specialist’, as an ‘independent’ analyst, looks at this complex issue from the most diverse directions and thereby incorporates the most diverse disciplines (theology, law, natural sciences, humanities) into the analysis. It is truly a holistic approach, which is unique to date! It should be noted that this work will completely change your view of the world! The illustration on the following page is intended to show you – the reader – the basic hierarchical construct and correctly classify essential relationships. The first step is to make the system of heaven versus earth comprehensible and understandable. 3
God is the highest power or sovereign of the universe. According to the Christian faith, God has two central rulers (Satan and Jesus Christ), but they will not be elaborated on separately in this picture and is sufficient for the simplified framework in the first step. Among the angels, there are three hierarchies, as described in the diagram. The Number 1 – God God is God. The ruler and sovereign of the universe. Known as God to many people, he has other names. In Jewish doctrine and the corresponding excavations, a tetragram YHWH was found to establish the name of God. It was supported by the canon of the Bible since, after Adam, God only showed himself to selected individuals. It was only through the covenant of friendship with Abraham that God
4
chose his people. In Islam, God is known as Allah, and in the other Christian religions, as God without a name or reverently referred to as Lord. In the end, all religions mean the same God. There is only one number, 1. God has power over the entire universe. The Number 2 – Jesus Christ Jesus became Christ (redeemer) through his work on earth. Through this work, he officially ‘earned’ and manifested second place for his ministry on earth. In lieu of his service, Jesus Christ has been given the area of responsibility for the whole of humanity and thus probably also planet earth by his Father, YWHW. At the beginning of human history, Satan was unofficially installed as number 2. The Number 3 – Satan, also Iblis Satan is a ruler of God who acts on the highest level. He was the supreme ruler of God from the beginning of human history until the ministry of Jesus. Hierarchy 1 – Kings of the Most Exalted Positions Who are also Judges The first hierarchy is formed by the so-called kings of the most exalted position, who have the task of judging humanity. There are 12 tribes mentioned in the Bible. They are the 12 apostles (11 disciples of Jesus + the apostle Paul). They sit next to Jesus Christ and form 12 tribes or kingdoms. Thus, it must be concluded that the earth is also divided into 5
12 tribes or kingdoms. Conversely, this means that the 12 apostles have enormous power. The area of responsibility is currently over 650 million people per judge. Hierarchy 2 – Kings The other kings are still in hierarchy 1, but these kings are assigned to the respective 12 tribal heads and are thus hierarchically below the tribal heads. They play a decisive role in ensuring that the respective kings of the most exalted position fulfil their work as chief king and judge. The kings are living beings who must have lived on earth before they served as king and (assistant) judge (or jury) in heaven. Status as a king in heaven does not necessarily depend on their rank on earth. Jesus Christ decides in the first instance, but God must also confirm this selection. These kings have immortal bodies and are, therefore, also eternally living. In Revelation 13, however, an indication is given that kings can rebel against God and be at war with him and thus be mortal. The Bible speaks of there being 144,000 kings in number. That would be a total of 12,000 kings per tribe or kingdom. With a current world population of about 7.89 billion people (the year 2022), that would be one king for every 55,000 people. If the calculation is made larger, strictly speaking, every human being must be counted since the earth’s existence. It
6
is estimated that about 100 billion people have already lived on earth. From this, a mathematical value of 0.0001% can be calculated. This means that mathematically only one in 700 million human beings can be a king. A king can be seen, so to speak, as a city governor of a medium-sized city. It is, therefore, as if every king also ruled over his own city, his own urban area or, in large cities, his own district. It follows that kings are also self-sufficient to a certain extent and have a certain amount of power. However, the abundance of power should not obscure the selection process because it is extraordinarily special to be appointed as a king by Jesus Christ and to have God’s blessing for this. Immediate Environment of God - Cherubim and Seraphim (Bodyguards of God) According to Islam and Christianity, Cherubim and Seraphim are called the bodyguards of God or angels closest to God. They are angels of extraordinary magnitude. Many times more exalted in form, power, abilities and skills. According to Christian doctrine, they are said to have four (Cherubim) and six (Seraphim) wings. Whether they are even above or below the kings is debatable. However, these angels are of central importance, as they most likely maintain order in heaven and are used decisively in power struggles. It should be mentioned here that Satan, or Iblis, is 7
also a Cherub of the first class. These angels are ‘begotten’ by extraordinary deeds. Whether they had to prove themselves on earth beforehand, like the kings, has not been handed down, but there is an indication hidden in the Bible. In the Old Testament, when God once again gave his people, the Israelites, into the hands of their enemies, he trusted a certain man named Ezekiel. He showed Ezekiel the reason for the punishment and his judgement through visions and inspirations. Ezekiel could also see the Cherubim. It was also a very agonising trial. Ezekiel had to suffer hunger and was mentally ill for his fellow men. Ezekiel was in another world, so to speak, and could see things God allowed him to see. This was not in vain. Like everything in life, there is a price to pay for everything. Even Jesus paid the price. Ezekiel’s price was the agony of the first order and borderline experiences in both the physical and psychological realms. If the analogy is drawn with Jesus, it is most likely that this was also a purification process. We thus see that in the rarest of cases, God also most likely calls people to be his bodyguards. Persons to whom he entrusts or can entrust his most sacred secrets. Why, then, this agonising process? An analogy can be drawn here with the elite fighters of the Spartan Empire. Only through bestial torment and 8
relentless training can excellence and such a clear and sublime power, as well as execution precision, be achieved so that the person can perform extraordinary feats. This is a must-have in the case of God’s bodyguard. After all, in an emergency, the task is to protect God even against kings. So there must be a martial art that can hold its own against the elite top of heaven. And this even when outnumbered. If the analogy is drawn here with kings, it is to be implied as an extreme rarity that a man is called to be a Cherub. Extraordinary deeds (see Ezekiel) and torments are needed to pass the test or purification of God. If the analogy is drawn here with Satan, who is also a Cherub, it can be assumed that, in terms of essence, a Cherub is more exalted than a king. In the event of a fall, a Cherub could probably take on a king and defeat him. There is also a different relationship with God. An association of trust, which also includes that Cherubim have abilities and knowledge that are very exclusive. The Bible speaks of two counts of angels. It can be assumed that the second angel count refers to the Cherubim and Seraphim and that there are, therefore, a thousand x a thousand angels of this rank. That would be 1 million angels of this kind in the universe.
9
The subtle difference between Seraphim and Cherubim should be worked out once more. Seraphim They have the most elite rank among the angels and are appointed to praise and glorify God. With six wings and a majesty that is second to none, they also represent the power and majesty of God. They cover the feet with two wings and the face with two wings. Probably even in heaven, no one should be able to look at the speed and beauty of these angels out of disfavour except God himself. They are mentioned once in the Bible book of Isaiah, indicating their rarity. Cherubim They are below the Seraphim, yet they possess an extraordinary degree of majesty and power, underlined by their four wings. They serve to carry out the will of God. They have four faces (ox, lion, man and eagle), indicating their respective God-like personalities, and represent God in their thinking, being and deeds. The ox and lion represent extreme willpower, strength, endurance and courage. The man and the eagle stand for strength and foresight. Whether Cherubim are only male and Seraphim female has not been handed down.
10
Hierarchy 3 – Angels Hierarchy three comprises ordinary angels who are mortal and do the actual work. Whether these have previously lived on earth or not at all probably varies. However, it is transmitted that angels can transform into human beings. It is referred to in at least three places in the Old Testament, of which, however, I will only mention two. The first passage is about angels visiting Abraham (the Bible speaks of angels), who appeared as persons of flesh and blood. The second passage refers to the struggle of Jacob with an angel or messenger for the blessing of God. The instructions of the angels are given at the highest level by the kings. There is probably also a specific hierarchy among the ordinary angels, but this is not decisive considering this simplified framework. On the basis of the diagram on page eight, we see that it may not be a coincidence which position we occupy in society and who determines the so-called spirit of the times or the fundamental changes within the respective time or influences the respective persons. This is also in line with the Bible text, which states there is no power that does not come from God. He appoints all the respective office holders. In addition, looking at the picture opens up the question of whether and what precisely each individual can do to 11
move further up the ‘food chain’ of human life or make better life decisions. The central questions are the three mentioned at the beginning, which will be discussed afterwards. This can be decisive for our path in life, our success, and thus the satisfaction of each individual. It is, therefore, also of essential importance to which king, ruler and supreme commander an individual is ‘assigned’. In the first step, it is not necessarily God who makes the decision. It is former human beings, kings, who help determine the path of life of each human being and steer them in a particular direction. The second instance is the kings of the most exalted position, who can confirm or revise the direction. It should be noted here that there can be considerable fighting or even differences of opinion. The result can be wars of a local nature. When kings of exalted positions fight among themselves, wars of significant proportions happen (e.g. the Yugoslav War in the 1990s). A conflict between Satan and Jesus Christ or between a king of the most exalted position and God leads to a scale, as we know from the Vietnam War. World wars are military conflicts at the very highest level. World War I resulted from a war between God and Jesus Christ against Satan. World War II was a consequence of World War I and, thus, in a sense, an act of revenge as a consequence of World War I.
12
The Bible does not prove this at first, second or even third glance. A forensic reading is also indispensable here to find the hidden enigma. I will go into this hidden riddle in more detail in the chapter on the 1,000-year kingdom of Christ and provide evidence that there is a confession of war in the Bible. Anyone who has read the preceding treatise carefully on the hierarchy of all the angels will have to conclude that it is of decisive importance where I live and even in which city or district I live. For being present in the respective place of residence or holiday, I am assigned to one or the other king or queen and thus live in their dominion. The vibes, i.e., how one feels in the place at a given time, are decisive for individual success or respective success. But what is the basis of our existence? Generally speaking, it is theology but also science. However, this book does not address the pros and cons of scientific elements; instead, the interdisciplinary approach is in the foreground. The aim is an open-ended analysis. Therefore, none of the existing sources is to be excluded in advance but by examination, and a red line is to be found in the Holy Scriptures in harmony with historical events and the latest scientific findings.
13
By chance, I also came across the Qur’an. The similarities between the two Abrahamic religions aroused my curiosity. Therefore, I wanted to learn more about God, Jesus and Satan (the three main protagonists) via the keyword search. With the keyword ‘Satan’, the first approach is ‘hidden’ in the Qur’an, which is why the disputes in the Garden of Eden occurred. The process of creation, described in the Bible as a process of days and ending with the words “It was good”, is, in the eyes of modern society, a too short and briefly described process, which encompasses the enormous work of ‘earth and mankind’. Why was not more written about it there? The Qur’an gives more information about this than the Bible. Here, it speaks of God presenting the work of ‘man’ to his angels. The organigram of heaven, or the family perspective, if such a background seems more revealing to the reader, sees God as a patriarch and also as an autocratic ruler. His son Jesus Christ describes himself in the New Gospel as a leader, a kind of president. The role of Satan or Iblis is underestimated by most. He alone has direct command over the angels. He is also called the ‘Lord of the Angels’. Probably only the personal bodyguard of God is not directly subordinate to him. If you put it another way, Satan
14
is the CEO/Managing Director/Head of the Angels, with Jesus and God as the final authority having the right to overrule him or arrange things differently. So to speak, the day-to-day business is orchestrated by Satan. Jesus and God see themselves more as developers. And here, too, I would like to put it more precisely. God sees himself as the developer, and his son is the executive. In other words, God thinks things up, Jesus implements them, and Satan then orchestrates them. The angels, as already described, are subordinate to Satan to carry out the administration in the proper sense. In summary, God is number one. Who is number two cannot be reliably said at first glance. Satan seems to be the secret number two since he holds this massive power over all the angels. Against this, it can be argued that the kings are subordinate to Jesus Christ. The fullness of power can be described as follows: Direct power of command -> Satan > Jesus Christ. Indirect power of command -> Satan < Jesus Christ. God is above all and everything. His fullness of power and command is the greatest and can therefore be described as the ‘last authority’. Without God, there is no Satan or Jesus Christ. Accordingly, God is the basis of all life, even in heaven. To come back to earth and to our diagram, God 15
himself intervenes in epoch-making decisions or makes decisions of such magnitude. This is to underline his actions’ uniqueness, power, wisdom, and rarity. As already indicated and described in the Bible, God developed and created man, with his son Jesus Christ serving as the master craftsman. So it came to the presentation in heaven. God presents, Jesus probably stands next to it, and Satan and the angels listen to his words. According to the Qur’an, the reaction of the heavenly congregation is to be described as not amused. Satan, created from fire, says, “What have I to do with this? I was created from fire.” Man appears to him and the angels as not adequate. The background as to why the man was created is not further described. Moreover, it must be mentioned here that Eve, the woman, was not created until sometime after Adam had already lived on earth. However, God makes a point of being serious about the development of ‘man’ and commands the recognition of his creation. Satan - probably also with reluctance, knowing that God sits at the higher level and is also the stronger one - now bows symbolically before man. The angels follow him. Three valuable conclusions can be drawn from this:
16
1. Satan dared to say no and expressed his opinion. He makes his opinion known and also provides reasons for his view. Thus, he is not a mere ‘naysayer’. 2. Satan enjoys high respect from the angels. They do not dare to speak to God directly. In a sense, they hide behind Satan and listen to their boss. 3. It seems as if the hierarchy is set. God talks to Jesus and Satan. Satan has direct contact with the angels in the first instance. Probably Jesus speaks with the angels only in the rarest of instances. God communicates with them even more rarely. The fact is also underlined by the New Testament when Jesus was on earth. Demons or even apostate angels were terrified when they saw Jesus. They cried out, “The Son of God!” As if the incarnate was after them. It is probably the case that the appearance of Jesus usually does not entail anything good. This means that it is something special for an angel to meet him. It is quite unusual when – in the figurative language of a company – the supervisory board meets an employee in person. According to the Bible, the number of angels is expressed in myriads (ancient Greek for 10,000) times myriads. Mathematically, a value of 100 million angels can be calculated this
17
way. In analogy, it would be as if the Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany were to ‘visit’ a citizen personally. It is much rarer for Jesus Christ or even God to visit a person personally. But I would like to go into that later. The following diagram is intended to illustrate the desired state of the hierarchy of heaven:
Note that before the appearance of Christ, Jesus probably did not have 12 judges and apostles in direct leadership. Furthermore, there was a change in the organigram at the beginning of the 1,000-year kingdom, whereby Jesus received from Satan a portion of the angels, who were previously in command of the kings. Only the angels on Satan’s side are still subordinate to him and are imprisoned
18
in Tartarus in the realm of the earth for the 1,000-year kingdom. Thus, the position of the new Satan or CEO in heaven has become vacant (at least during the 1,000-year reign of Jesus Christ). With this, we are already a decisive step further, for we learn that the process was not ‘smooth’ or truly unanimous. But why was man created? From this, we can only conclude or even deduce that man is to be classified as of lesser value than an angel. Why do I come to this conclusion? Satan disagreed with man. The angels also rebelled. Why did they rebel? The Bible provides three approaches to this. 1. Man was created in the image of God or our image (from God’s and Jesus’ point of view). Therefore, we reflect God’s personality and are probably a miniature version of God, which must thus also correspond to the appearance of God. 2. Jesus also explained that even the greatest man is inferior to an angel. Accordingly, it is clear that the creation of man can be classified as Angel > Man. Moreover, it can also be concluded that an angel’s opinion is to be regarded as higher than the opinion of a human being. 3. Before the deluge, the angels saw that men, especially women, were beautiful. This indicates that man is 19
probably imposing by nature and, in some instances, is above the angels. Otherwise, certain angels would not have left heaven and indulged in human flesh (women). It also shows that we tick in a similar way. We are attracted to women or the opposite sex, again supporting the statement that we were created in the ‘same image’. Thus, it can be stated: Status: Angel > Human Reputation and appearance: Angel > Human (probably not in all cases; see before mentioned explanation point three -> deluge). This view can be supported by the statement from the Bible when it speaks of us being a spectacle of heaven. Like in a Hollywood film, actors have something distinctive or beautiful about them. Otherwise, they would not be so successful, and people would not pay to watch them. This leads to the following questions -> does heaven actually pay us for our actions? What kind of acting is rewarded and electrifies the angels the most? Are there any particularly popular genres? To answer these questions, I would like to go a little further to do justice to the complexity of this issue. On the other hand, as mentioned at the beginning, I would like to
20
build up the argumentation from the start so that the entire background becomes visible. In the next chapter, I would like to explore the origin of human history and its partly hidden background. Afterwards, central elements of the respective theologies will also be examined in the context of history. It will also be explained why this came about and what effects the respective theologies had on humanity. It will become apparent that epochal decisions of heaven (see diagram page eight) primarily also entail epochal changes for the people on earth. The next step is to analyse the 1,000-year kingdom of Christ mentioned in the new Gospel and to establish the connection with the life of Jesus at the time of the Roman world power. Provided the three theologies and the meaning and background of the 1,000-year kingdom of Christ have been understood, the reader is ready for the quarter-final. The tectonic metrics of the earth or systems of things. This area is not described in more detail in the respective scriptures, nor is there only scattered knowledge of how it works or even which events have come about through which connection. It will be a milestone and a premiere for humanity to learn about the context of current events and 21
their respective background. Nothing happens by chance. This is also a law of nature. In the semi-final, I would like to formulate the relativity theory of the nature of every human being – also a world premiere. Or, to put it briefly, I would like to explain vividly in a model what it means to be perfect. In the grand finale, an outlook is given, heaven’s decisions are still pending and what epochal changes this means for humanity. Only this much can be said in advance; there have been at least three apparent epochal events in the entire history of mankind: 1. Creation of man in the Garden of Eden; 2. Deluge; 3. Appearance of the Messiah of Jesus Christ on earth. Will there be a fourth epochal event?
22
Sin, Death & Life After the well-known fall of man from the Garden of Eden, paradise ended. Confusion persists about what exactly was intended. According to God, man was to subdue the earth and develop it with a high degree of freedom. Adam had direct contact with God, which is noteworthy because Jesus Christ and Satan did not have any contact with man at the time. Had God declared the work of ‘man’ as a ‘matter for the boss’ because of the incident in heaven?! Probably yes! Or even clearly, yes! Only the tree in question was not to be touched. Then there was the incident with the serpent, who suddenly could talk and spurred Eve to take some fruit after all. The benefit was that man was rewarded with the vision to look at things like God and distinguish between good and evil. The questions that came to my mind were: Was man not able to distinguish between good and evil before? How was it even possible to differentiate between good and evil in a population of two? Was it only the one decision that had to be made -> tree bad (do not eat from it); rest of the decisions were right in any case? They also demand answers. It was remarkable that the reward of distinguishing between ‘good and evil’ appealed more to Eve; it was as if 23
something was missing. Humans can sense when something is wrong. After eating the fruit, the scales fell from their eyes, and they saw themselves naked. So, from one moment to the next, there must have been a completely different way of looking at things. As if someone took away the aperture, making them look at things with a new perspective. It is also remarkable that nothing changed externally from one moment to the next. After all, expulsion, sin, ageing, and death followed. But on what premise was the judgment passed? The Bible writes that it was a deception or that Eve had been deceived. According to German criminal law, fraudulent deception, which leads to fraud, is punishable under § 263 of the Criminal Code. But who deceived whom here? According to the Bible, Satan was the one who, disguised as a serpent, seduced Eve into this act. However, the question is why nobody intervened in time. In chapter 1, we learned that the angels do not doubt Satan; they even revere him. So, there is a certain authority; hence, none of the angels dared to stop or stand against him. Where were God and Jesus Christ? That can only be guessed. You did not have the TV on or watch something via a streaming platform every second of
24
your existence, and it cannot be assumed that they were absent. Of course, it can also be concluded, in the case of malicious insinuation, that the two saw it and did not want to stand against the whole team, i.e., Satan + 100 million angels. That is not a state of affairs in the long run, either. Or put another way: God may have leaned too far out of the window or tactically – through his strong will – decided wrongly. Insisting upon man’s creation, God incurred Satan’s displeasure and, consequently, the entire host of angels. A very bold move by God! Perhaps he wanted to extend his power even further with the creation, which displeased the angelic host. Or he was excited to create something new and unique. Maybe he was bored and wanted to have some action or even provoke a war. In the end, we do not know! In the final appreciation, however, it must be stated that only God is God. Thus, he is the ruler and the final decider of the universe. If he has a will, he makes sure it is executed. It is noteworthy, however, that God makes the judgment rabidly. On the basis of fraud, a verdict was passed against the victim, that cannot be more draconian. The whole work of creation was manipulated in the aftermath, and errors were deliberately built so that a destructive code of life could
25
now be set in motion that brought corruption, strife, sin, and death. What is the point of all this? God describes himself in the Bible as vengeful! An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth! A rule of the Old Testament described God’s personality as unvarying and constant – something that never changes. It was probably an act of losing face by God. One assumption is that he made this extremely harsh judgment to restore his sovereignty and majesty before the angels and also to make a clear announcement: I am the boss here! Moreover, he could not go against all his angels, so he blamed the man who could not defend themselves against him. This is comparable to a situation where an adult human would attack an infant. It is a fight, and judgment is a slap in the face of humanity which cannot be surpassed in ridiculousness. It also shows the wickedness and, above all, the repulsiveness of God. The consequences are dramatic. Experts and critics argue about how long the timeline is from the fall of man to the present day. A backward calculation is an excellent way to gain some clarity. The world empires of history also offer themselves as support here. To save referencing specific sources and to underline independence, I would like to make a classification myself which is, of course, linked to the 26
generally
applicable
humanities
of
history
and
historiography. According to various sources, the Roman Empire, as the central point of European history, if not human history, was at its zenith around 117 AD. Another empire of great historical importance is the Greek or Alexander Empire, which reached its peak in 323 BC. The Persian Empire, or Medo-Persia, rapidly gained strength through the destruction of Babylon and peaked at the Battle of Marathon against the Greeks in 490 BC. Babylonia (580 BC), Neo-Assyrian Empire (671 BC), and the Egyptian Empire (1,450 BC) provide other clear reference points. The Akkadian Empire, also called the Akkadian Great Empire (2,300 BC), is the first
empire
mentioned
in
the
historical
account.
Consequently, more than 4,500 years of human history can and must be assumed. A considerable period, at any rate. What has not happened in this duration? Incidentally, the deluge predated the height of the Akkadian Empire. Though historical experts disagree, it can be stated that there was life before and after the great flood. The Akkadian Great Empire – recognised as the first worldly empire – could be the result of the deluge. Is the deluge then a punishment from God? Definitely yes! God had cursed the planet, and mankind has drifted into 27
a spiral of violence since the fall. In addition, angels have left heaven, taken wives, and preferred life on earth; to live there as a ‘playboy’ or even a ‘successful man’. Who knows what life was like in heaven? A bleak place for many, considering that one would prefer the ‘cursed earth’ and find one’s inevitable death there. It is a mockery of the first order, showing heaven as grand. For some angels, a suicidal thought seems to be present, as it can be for humans. According to biblical tradition, it was more exciting for many to examine the happenings on earth and be involved there; certain death was accepted as a trade-off. The deluge was a judgement of God that wiped out almost all life on earth. In typical God fashion, the act was repented of and the rainbow was used as a symbol [which the LGBTQ+ community now claims as a symbol of freedom] of reparation and also assurance that God would never do such a thing again. Genesis 9:12-16 should be mentioned here. At this point, I would also like to express my astonishment that God nowadays puts up with the desecration
of
the
rainbow,
though
he
despises
homosexuality. Perhaps this is an aspect people involved should think about in private. Or, maybe these lines are to be construed as a warning.
28
However, as with all punitive judgements, God has limited
humanity
and
accelerated
the
process
of
degeneration, so to speak. Noah’s Ark ensured the continuation of mankind, but the quality level of mankind decreased exponentially. For those who argue about the deluge, there is significant scientific evidence to prove it. Remains of the Ark have been found on Mount Ararat [Turkey]. Moreover, geologists agree that the torrent caused the mountainous landscape and the tectonic changes in the earth. Enclosed, I would like to present a brief overview of restrictions that were (additionally) imposed upon man by the punitive judgements of God: Fall of man in Eden -> Sin, corruption, ageing (up to max. 1,000 years and death). Deluge -> Even before the deluge or as a preliminary decision, God shortens man’s life to 120 years [Genesis 6:3]. Sodom and Gomorrah -> destruction of both the cities. Psalm 90 refers to a man’s age being 70 or 80 years if he is in good strength. It is probably also a punishment from God in connection with the events in Sodom and Gomorrah. Corona pandemic -> Circumstantial evidence suggests that the Corona pandemic is God’s judgement. The handwriting of God is clearly visible. Destruction and lasting 29
health damage (physical and psychological) are evident due to the mass occurrence. In the historical classification, this is a judgement coming from God. And it is only God himself who can bring about such a magnitude. In the Old Testament, God often boasts of bringing destruction upon a society or even a nation. He usually uses barbarians to take revenge on a particular group and employs particularly abstruse violent instruments like starvation, rape, imprisonment, and a slow slaughter for his ‘own’ people. He only allows his enemies a quick death! Why is this so? In the parlance of Psychology, disappointment;
followed
by
an
irrational
process.
Disappointment makes people tend to overreact and often miss the mark. Therefore, in relationship crimes, the effects are often more drastic. It is not uncommon for an argument to lead to the murder of an individual or even an entire family. Since we, humans, were created in the image of God, we cannot expect a very different reaction from God. He acts like a human being, only on a higher level. We are an image of God or the angels. With all the feelings, reactions, and actions, whether the actions of God and the angels are more sublime cannot be reliably answered or verified. Although in Bible, God assured us that his deeds and thoughts are higher than those of humans, we cannot 30
verify this. World events do not back this ‘assurance’. Moreover, we [humanity] still do not know everything. All the connections are veiled, or no human being has yet been able to explore the whole truth. What happens when deed X is carried out? What effect can be felt, then? In the Bible, in the Old Testament, animal sacrifices sufficed for the sins. The practice became obsolete when the Messiah appeared, as he had to wash away all the sins through his blood. However, this is not free for mankind, either. Jesus charged us the cost; more on this later in the corresponding chapter. Natural scientists would argue that natural laws are known in the field of the respective natural sciences, but the impact of human action is largely unexplored. No human science empirically investigates the effects of a particular lifestyle or way of life on an individual’s and family’s mental and physical health and associated feelings. Before ascending to heaven, Jesus had hinted in the New Testament that there were mysteries concerning humanity. He said to his disciples that the latter, however, could not bear to know about the secrets. So, they must be secrets of astronomical proportions. Mysteries that exceed human thinking in complexity to be considered unimaginable.
31
To comprehend the personalities of God and Jesus Christ, Bible must be read carefully. A quick skimming of the letters is not enough. The expression ‘meticulous reading’ would be more appropriate. Many, especially the theologians who are in the service of churches and religious communities, have always claimed that God is love and that Christ (Jesus) is more love. It seems as if it is a delight to walk with God and Jesus. But is this true? As mentioned earlier, the fall of man from the Garden of Eden was due to a malicious deception. The vengeance or even the judgment of the offence was a sin, corruption, and death. Truly, not a judgement from which love can be discerned. We must also remember that we can currently assume at least 4,500 years of human history, which is officially documented. And there is one big word there: war! Bible scholars like to refer here to the verse that 1,000 years are like a day for God. For God, 4,500 years would only be about five days or maybe a week. But is not that a heartless way of looking at things? According to the motto: I do not care what is going on down there; it is all about me. That is a selfish way of thinking. Funnily enough, God in the Old Testament and Jesus in the New Gospel denounce selfishness and virtually demonise this characteristic. So, there is a certain hypocrisy in the two rulers.
32
Scholars and theologians point out that a controversial issue is being raised unnecessarily. Who can rule over humanity for good? Is it God, or is it his ‘adversary’ Satan? It must be acknowledged that a long-term approach may be needed to settle this dispute once and for all. We cannot know Satan’s motives. It may be, of course, that it was for power. Perhaps he felt strong enough with angels behind him. Or maybe Satan knew more. We must not forget that God did not give Jesus, his Son, but an external person the power and authority over the whole host of angels. That means a lot! From this, it can be concluded that Satan is anything but a pretended leader. He gained God’s favour through his deeds. In the beginning, I mentioned that Satan was created from fire. A look into the Bible also reveals that he was beautiful in form and that Satan enjoyed enormous influence or even respect. In the Bible, Book of Job, a glimpse of the heavenly assembly is given. All the angels are ready, with God waiting on his throne. Only one is missing – Satan. He was roaming the earth. Satan floats to his place in front of everyone. God does not rebuke him with words like “Why are you late?” No, he starts what is called a ‘homie talk’ with him. God, thus, turns away from all (101 million angels and his Son
33
Jesus) to speak only to Satan, as if the others were not present. This shows Satan’s importance; one cannot achieve more than that! One must also consider that this incident was after the fall from the Garden of Eden. It means God was not angry with Satan for about 5,000 years (personal estimate) after the fall. Astonishing! After all, based on the first pages of Genesis, he had brought about the fall through the serpent. Had God or Jesus Christ offended Satan in any way so that he carried out this act of revenge? We do not know, but something must have happened. A purely power-tactical background can be excluded since Satan already had power over all the angels. He could not achieve anything more. He was secretly number two. Moreover, it is generally known that many wars started because of previously experienced affronts. We learn from this that God and Satan are central elements in the heavenly realm, and Jesus gained prominence through his work on earth. The church’s claim that God and Jesus are the good guys and Satan, on the other hand, is the evil one is too shortsighted. The background of the creation story is much more complex, even far more complicated than initially assumed. Churches try to present a black-and-white picture based on 34
their image of God, Christ and the bad guy Satan, which is easy to understand and that many people can follow. The result is that despite the high incidence of abuse, many members of churches and religions still have a high status in society and even enjoy a place in politics. One should also not forget that the churches collect relatively high revenues from church tax, and the accumulated assets over the term are immense. In the case of regional evangelical congregations or even other groups, the primary source of income is usually voluntary donations. Of course, an image of God and Jesus as pious, merciful and loving beings must be drawn because that is what people want to hear. But is it true? A deeper look into the scriptures sometimes opens up a shocking picture, which has nothing to do with mercy and the often mantra-like invoked love of God. We have to bear in mind that a court’s verdict or punishment is based on criminal fraud in the Federal Republic of Germany and most countries on earth. Therefore, according to human thinking, it could be concluded that it was possible to revise the verdict or to show a way out of this vortex. In the scriptures, God describes himself as loving, powerful, wise and just. In addition, loyalty, faithfulness and sublimity are important elements of his personality, 35
according to him. Yet, world events are still far removed from these values, which is surprising because he is so powerful. Moreover, the court’s judgement is anything but just, for the deceit of heaven is blamed on man. This can be an interesting indication for the question of why the earth and humanity were created. For in the case of the deluge, mankind was blamed for the fault of the angels. The reason may be that God wanted to present a kind of mirror image of heaven to the angels with the creation. According to the motto: “If you do not comply in the future, then I can do quite differently.” The earth can thus serve God as a demonstration of power in heaven and thus show the angels what he is or would be capable of in relation to heaven. It is a warning to the angels, whom he calls his sons, sons of God. As a father wishes no harm to his Son, so God wishes no harm to the angels who are above humanity. Adam was the only human being allowed (other than Jesus Christ) to be recognised as the Son of God. The earth is a joyful pre-emptive world for the angels, which also serves, in a sense, as a testing laboratory for heaven. Adam and Eve, however, are saddled with a double or even triple punishment, if not quadruple punishment. 1. Expulsion from paradise 2. Ruin, suffering, old age and death 36
3. He also cursed them, like a magician who punishes someone with unsuccessfulness 4. The children inherit the punishments of their parents, so to speak Anything but loving! It is an absolute state of emergency, a spoof the vernacular would propagate. To put it more gallantly, it is a bottomless insolence, which can be legally described as an excess of force. In the legal context, self-defence (an attack on life and limb and elementary legal interests) is permitted only if proportionality is given. It could be assumed – and this also corresponds to God’s view – that his sovereignty, i.e. the omnipotence over things on earth and in the universe, was attacked. Is this an attack on an elementary legal right or even an attack on his life? God is clearly set up in a patriarchal way. He has great powers, calls the shots and gives orders. According to the scriptures, only Satan can question God’s decisions or open up new questions or discussions. This was especially the case with Job when he questioned Job’s righteousness. It was, so to speak, an endurance test of bestial proportions. What happens to a person when everything is taken away from him? Does the person change for the worse? Does his
37
inner self change? Will decisions be made differently (even in the future)? The background is only vague for us. However, there is, of course, a kind of scientific investigation of heaven going on. What happens when event X occurs? Whether this is necessary can and may be doubted; after all, we were created in the image of God and should have the same characteristics as angels. Or else, we have been created in the image of God only and are, therefore, ahead of angels in terms of characteristics. In other words, we (humanity) are God’s image and reflect his personality. A crazy thought but also an analytically correct conclusion if one reads the verses correctly and is not swayed by wishful thinking. According to this, to take up the above point again, is there an insinuation of life and limb in the legal sense? Here a contradiction opens up. If we were the mirror image, why would God harm himself with the aforementioned fourfold punishment? So, there must be more to it than that. In this argumentation, we must assume a simplified image – due to a lack of information – and thus include the attack on an elementary legal good (sovereignty = freedom) as a basis of the claim in the negotiation. In the second step, it would have to be clarified who the attacker was. In addition, it must be considered that in the 38
case of an attack, persons who observe the attack are obliged to help, if possible. Thus, a very complex picture also opens up, given the hierarchies mentioned and the prevailing opinions. Moreover, the question is why the person, i.e. the deceived, has to bear the attacker’s punishment. It was also surprising because God has been described as loving in the creation process. He let Adam give names to the animals and, in a sense, involved him in the. The next moment, he struck ruthlessly, blinded by rage, as it were, and passed a judgement that cannot be overturned, or whereupon it is no longer possible for man to get out of the act. Psychologists would say that there is a certain schizophrenia here. It is an erratic judgement that also entails an extermination process. On the one hand, people are conceived, and offspring are born, but the quality of human beings decreases noticeably. Man is degraded and, from a certain age, leads to a wasting existence. According to Western standards and the United Nations Charter, such a sentence would also be equivalent to torture. Ethically and morally, torture is outlawed almost worldwide. It seems that different laws apply in heaven. A place of violence where torture and barbarism are the order of the day. A look at publications in the field of theology, history, 39
and the supernatural world paints a frightening picture. Ideas already published sketch a heaven full of violence, in which, above all, the immortal angels wage a bitter war and do not necessarily stand by each other. The strategies and the excesses of violence are of such a magnitude that they are perhaps to be found in the darkest chapters of human history. It is a bloody power struggle fought out with all conceivable means. There is even talk of the extinction of immortality. In other words, the possibility of being able to kill or murder an immortal being after all (see also my comments on kings). For many, the idea is science fiction, but on closer inspection, it is anything but fiction. No, it is not so farfetched; it even makes sense. We cannot verify the above opinions, but this sketched picture is consistent with the line of reasoning I have provided and explains the state of affairs in this world. To verify the statement made, we must again analyse human history. We conclude that since the presentation of the creationman, there must have been disagreements in heaven. According to the generally accepted communication theory, there are nine levels of conflict management. The evidence suggests that from stage one to the fall from the Garden of Eden, it went quickly to stage nine. Stage three, mind you, is 40
the last stage at which a win-win situation can still occur. Level nine, ‘Together into the Abyss’, is defined in general terms as follows: ‘For the parties, a reversal appears to be associated with much higher costs than total annihilation and self-destruction. The parties are waging a war of eradication against their complete environment’. The result can only be a lose-lose situation. That sums it up quite nicely; we are at stage nine! In order not to fall into a state of nervousness or panic right now, we must once again take a broad look and examine and discuss the respective central theologies. In addition, the 1,000-year kingdom of Christ will be dealt with, whereby insights will also come to light here that had previously remained hidden. Last but not least, an outlook will be presented, hidden in the last part of the Bible, but is not interpretable for many or even meaningless. Due to the insights gained from the comparisons of the three theologies, a trend can be derived that coincides with the central points of the last Bible Book of Revelation.
41
Central Elements of the Respective Theologies God and his Reign - Old Testament The creation process, the causes, and the backgrounds of the disputes that have arisen have already been dealt with. The questions of why we live, what the intention behind it was, and also what added value we offer have only been dealt with to a limited extent so far. That we are a spectacle for the heavenly community, and, so to speak, an entertainment element of heaven has already been presented. The fact that kings and most probably also some angels of the first order (Cherubim and Seraphim) look down upon humans makes it clear that entertainment is of great importance. On this basis, a thesis can already be derived. Was man an invention to give the angels in heaven a holiday of a special kind? If you look at the laws of nature and the solar system, you see that everything is a cycle that finds its origin again. Depending on the planet or the type of underlying factor, the cycle can either be greater or smaller. This would mean that we are all one very big family where, in a way, despite our ongoing disputes.
42
The thesis aims at the fact that after our death, we find our way back to heaven, hell/abyss, or even eternal annihilation. Is the earth thus the abyss, a kind of hell where delinquent angels are banished for a holiday? Where, through their lifestyle, they either find their way back to heaven, or eternal destruction also awaits them? The thesis is not entirely absurd and means that delinquency from the angels sitting at the top of the universe would be intensified or bonified, further explaining the nonimproving world conditions. No final judgement can be made about this according to this state of knowledge, as there is no evidence, only circumstantial evidence. However, the first Testament clearly shows the personality of God and how God reacts in certain cases. In it, God allows the reader to recognise his signature and thus opens up his personality, which includes thought and action. Anyone who reads the Old Testament closely must realise that God also acts erratically (see the four draconian punishments I described, which heralded the destruction of mankind). True, God said that it was his will that man should live forever. But here, too, a forensic look is in order. Does he mean one and the same human being, or does he mean man in and of himself? 43
Every written word must be carefully weighed like a contract in a great agreement. He probably means human beings in general, but the eternal life of every human being is not possible because of the lack of space and available resources. Moreover, as an analogy to heaven, even there, only about 0.14% of the living heavenly community is denied eternal life [144,000/101,000,000 = 0.14%]. Thus, we can see that it is not the will of God for every human being to live forever, even if it is the communicated intention. There is a rough estimate of a reasonable life, assuming that the entire earth is habitable and flourishing, with about 11 billion people. However, that would also assume a life with the latest technologies [0% emissions] or an ancient life with a significantly lower world population. But
even
with
the
estimated
11
billion
people,
overpopulation would eventually be reached and would have to be eliminated by a natural process. Even with 11 billion people, in purely mathematical terms, each person would be entitled to a share of 13.6 m² [149,430,000 km² land area of earth/11,000,000 population]. A value that does not seem too large and can only be achieved by large cities or megacities. Thus, traditional or even ancient life would be clearly out of the question, as we would also be dependent on modern achievements, given the number of people. In recent studies,
44
scientists have calculated the area needed to show the world’s population in line with the population density of known cities. They assume, for example, that if the population density of Paris is considered, the entire earth community would fit into an area similar to Germany at today’s census. I do not want to open a philosophical discussion on whether war, disease, and death can be described as natural processes, but this is the present natural state. However, God describes these three factors as unnatural in the Bible, which are elements of punishment. We must therefore bear in mind both the fourfold punishment mentioned in the chapter Sin, Death, and Life and the fact that we will sin through the punishment and thus die according to the divine principle the wages sin pays is death. In this chapter, however, we will discuss the central elements of divine theology. What immediately strikes one at the beginning is the fact that God is very precise, almost meticulous. In certain passages of the Testament, he has mentioned specific numbers, even of animals and possessions. Of great personal interest to me was the fact that King Solomon counted women. There were 300 wives and 700 concubines and, 45
thus, exactly 1,000 women. Were there exactly a thousand women? Does this number mean something in analogy to the 1,000-year kingdom of Christ? In any case, the chapter on Solomon’s life is very enjoyable to read. One feels abducted into a wonderful world where the reader can use all his imagination. According to what pattern did King Solomon choose? For me personally, it is a matter of the heart to give the life of the king a special place because, for me, the only glimmer of hope in the Bible is hidden here in the Old Testament. Most beautiful and elegant women, including the wealth of a royal court, direct toward the arts. It was Jesus who, on behalf of God, commissioned the king here to rule over the people of Israel in feudal proportions. After all, King Solomon was the son of the beloved King David (the pinnacle of the Israelite empire). From this, two very clear manuscripts can be discerned. Kings David and Solomon were interested in ladies, especially the latter. One can notice that heaven is more than understanding such passions. Perhaps the desire for the women is also a hymn of praise to heaven, along the lines of, “But you have done that very well, dear God!” The second positive aspect is that the pleasing attitude of God and Christ towards the father, King David, was also 46
transferred to the son, Solomon, from which he benefitted significantly. It shows that personal deeds can positively influence other family members. This is also emphasised elsewhere in the Bible, namely that bad deeds of family members have effects up to the fourth generation. Again, to see the number four as the maximum punishment, as in the fall in the Garden of Eden. The number 1,000 also occurs as a positive value since he (God) wants to maintain his loyal love until the thousandth generation (in the case of Abraham). The Bible text can be read in Exodus 20:5. Thus, it can also be seen here that numbers in the Bible usually have a double meaning. The number seven stands for perfection. I will return to the subject of numerals later since, as already indicated, the work of Jesus in heaven was foretold. The changing of the guard, but more on this later. It is also evident from the Old Testament that God repeatedly tries to intervene decisively in the lives of individuals and entire nations. Most of the time, this is not in a positive sense. Apart from King David and King Solomon, there is no positive intervention by God to be read in the Bible. From his friend Abraham, whom he wants to bless to the thousandth generation, he demands the sacrificial service of his only son Isaac. Mind you, God instructed his friend 47
Abraham to slaughter and sacrifice his son Isaac like an animal. The vernacular would say here that he who has such friends no longer needs enemies. It shows the predominantly barbaric side of God, who delights in the blood and suffering of humanity. Other deviant facts directly related to God are that he exploits the misery of individuals and acts in an unreasonable manner. In one of his deviant, almost sick, trains of thought, he takes advantage of a lady’s infertility. He tells her that she can only become pregnant if he is allowed to abuse the resulting son for his priestly service. Elsewhere, he first gives an old married couple “the favour” of having children, so that they, as old people, then actually expect offspring. According to today’s scientific knowledge, one would classify such a personality as totally sick and deviant. Unfortunately, we are talking about God here. A third example to crown it all is; The Bible speaks of an energetic man named Absalom who avenged the rape of a lady and wanted to move things towards good in other ways. God, of course, had nothing else in mind but to have this gentleman killed. It is “pride” that is a thorn in God’s eye. It could now be heretically argued whether God’s pride 48
was offended by Absalom’s good deeds. We also see that desecration and murder are normal in God’s eyes or are to be recognised as divine instruments of torture. To make matters worse, God is apparently also a fan of sexual mutilation, as this custom is practised in extremist Islam. Evidence of this can also be found in the Old Testament. The priestly class of the churches and religious communities do not dare to say such things. After all, they are only henchmen and not of any real relevance to God. He also treats his priests like dirt. Here too, we find two examples when he has the death of a priest’s sons proclaimed by a young man. We thus see that God honestly does not care about ethics, the feelings of the persons in question, or the like. Power, power, and more power are the pure motivations of God! Regarding rape, what is written is also not a joke, blasphemy, or misdirection that I have thought up! God does boast about bringing rape upon whole nations in the Old Testament. Church leaders like to dabble in this and blather that mankind was so brutal back then and that it was only a dear divine warning. But this is wrong! I want to send them back to primary school, where they can learn to read again. The Bible says that God speaks in active language: “I will bring rape upon them ...” There is no reading of a passive
49
action or a follow-up action. No, “I will” is unambiguous and means that God will actively bring rape as a punishment upon individuals or a people. Moreover, certain passages in the Bible, especially in the Old Testament, are disturbing, barbaric, and so full of violence and nefariousness that it takes one’s breath away. In particular, Judges 19 is reminiscent of the most recent barbaric murders in modern times [The cruelest rape of an Indian woman some years ago, the Khashoggi murder some time ago]. Moreover, it can be read elsewhere that in the old days, it was the custom in Israel to protect the male guest by putting wives and daughters of the nefarious horde outside the door for the “all you can do” order. At the same time, the masters slept the night away peacefully or lingered inside. Even if the women were raped to death, that would be quite alright! In Sodom & Gomorrah, a similar incident is described, but the men had no interest in the two daughters. How the incident in Judges 19 is to be interpreted has been presented as inconclusive, even in the Bible. However, it must also be clearly communicated that God can be extremely cruel and will stop at nothing! Has the church ever pointed out this fact? In addition, at this point, the question must and may also be asked whether rape is appropriate as a punishment or 50
serves the pure barbaric prelude to slaughter. According to human law, such punishment is ethically and morally impossible. But God acts according to the principle of “an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.” Like is repaid with like! In another passage, God boasts that he can do whatever he wants! At this point, it also becomes obvious what means the “representatives of God” try to maintain the big lie of God’s love, although the Old Testament does not say a word about it, either! It is almost blatant and abnormal that the whole of humanity focuses on the new Gospel as the bringer of salvation and clings to it as if to a straw. There is a real attempt to fade out the Old Testament and to focus only on Jesus, his miracles, and his love. But this is fundamentally wrong! Why? Because number one is God, His personality and deeds are decisive for the goings-on on earth. As the highest authority in every organisation determines, it is also the case with the earth! I would like to mention a case from the actual real world here, too. There are also supervisory boards in the entrepreneurial sense, which actively interfere very much in the day-to-day business and thus cause insecurity, mobbing, and driving away quite a few executives. It is no different
51
with God, but the effects are at many times, indeed, at most galactically greater. God honestly opens up his sick world view in the Old Testament, always keeping his people small (King David and King Solomon excluded). However, he also falls for the allure of an advanced society with all its benefits. It is the work of Satan that builds other world powers with great cultural backgrounds. In the case of Egypt, God even voluntarily gives His people into slavery to build up the world power of Egypt and let it become great. And that even for over three hundred years. Someone must have had a great interest in Egypt becoming great through cheap labour material and thus through the Israelites as slaves. What is schizophrenic, however, is the erratic rethinking as he argues in a power struggle with Iblis, or Satan, for the “liberation of his people.” It is a struggle that involves plagues on the Egyptian people and culminates in the murder of every firstborn. It is truly a “lose-lose situation” in which both the land of Egypt and the people of Israel lose. Since God has no real plan for his people, he sends them through the desert for forty years. It is also funny that the number four is found again as the biblical counting sign for maximum punishment. 52
It can be concluded that the Old Testament documents a great failure of God in all its conceivable forms and does not reveal a conclusive picture of God to the reader. For even in the case of his protégé King David, all sorts of things were in order: a solid murder in David’s case and, in the end, in Solomon’s case, a downfall that heralded the downfall of Israel. The Old Testament is a failure report of a decline of the creation of man, from the creation and perfect life without sickness and death to life with a life expectancy of eighty years. The 1,000-year and 120-year life expectancies were cancelled and revised, respectively. Thus, something “new” was needed so people would not live entirely for themselves. This was then the idea of sending Jesus to earth by cunning means. However, we must bear in mind that, as in the case of the Garden of Eden and the resulting dispute with the heavenly host of angels, Jesus cannot bring about peace, either. The root – and that is God – has been offended since the refusal to acknowledge “man,” and, as can be gathered from the Old Testament, no healing has taken place, either. The fact that he sacrifices his son is also due to a kind of internal reckoning. He had to go down to earth as punishment and live a life as a carpenter for humiliation and 53
amusement, only to find death in crucifixion. How is humanity to be redeemed by such a life? In my opinion, just another reason, another building block to escalate things ultimately. Or does the reader with half a functioning mind believe that Jesus will put up with all this? The reader, please excuse the smug remark, which serves primarily to awaken the reader! Symbolically, Jesus’ death can be explained. Blood has a high symbolic value for God. This is evident in the Old Testament when the Israelites – his people – had to offer animal sacrifices at regular intervals. According to theology, only the pure blood of Jesus for the fall of man in the Garden of Eden can be considered a compensatory weight to make up for this “mistake.” I believe there must be a connection between the fall in the Garden of Eden and Jesus. Probably God was also disappointed in some way with Jesus’ behaviour. We have no proof of this and can only speculate, but there must be some connection. The laws of nature always demand connections, no matter how complex they may be. To better understand the topic of power struggle or interpretive authority, it is interesting to consider the events around Absalom, Samson, the Egyptians, Shadrach,
54
Meshach, and Abednego, as well as Nebuchadnezzar. All stories are about power. Absalom Absalom is a child of the famous King David and is, therefore, the brother – half-brother – of the later King Solomon. The story is relatively short, but it opens up a lot of learning points for the reader. Absalom is described in the scriptures as a man of spotlessness – from the crown of his head to the sole of his feet. This is always associated with tragedy in the story of the Bible. Mostly, it is about prestige, power, and supremacy. Absalom is a man of action, ambitious, but also with the right heart to do good. Many story writers and analysts paint an ambivalent picture of Absalom and the associated incident. The background of the ambiguous picture is, on the one hand, the young man’s eloquence, but on the other hand, also his unbridled claim to power. The whole tragedy was triggered by the rape of his halfsister Tamar by his half-brother Amnon. Although it is written that King David was furious at Amnon’s offence, he loved Amnon very much because he was his firstborn. David, however, does not show an appropriate reaction and only has Amnon expelled from court. In Absalom’s eyes,
55
however, this was not appropriate. He did not see David, his father – who loved him very much – as a strong leader. Time passed, and after two years, there was a feast at which all the sons of King David were present. Absalom told his followers they should slay Amnon if he put himself in a good mood with wine. Moreover, Absalom assured them he had no guilty conscience as he had commanded it. Absalom fled to Geshur and stayed there for three years. King David had his son Absalom brought back through an envoy because he missed him very much – despite what he had done. Absalom returned to Judaea, but without seeing his father’s face, married and had four children [three sons and a daughter]. Absalom, driven by ambition, the will to power, but also by a good heart, came to the city gate and announced in conversations with the respective people that if someone had a legal dispute and wanted to go to the king, they would not be heard by the king [his father]. Absalom wanted to make the Israelites trust him and appoint him as judge. The Bible talks about Absalom stealing the hearts of the men of Israel. This means that he gained their favour. This is the pretext to attempt a coup d'état and to proclaim through a pretext that Absalom is now king. King 56
David, his father, mind you, gets scared and flees from Absalom. What follows is a political war in which both parties try to get more men behind them by various means and make preparations for a fight. A great battle – 20,000 men – ensues in the forest of Ephraim, where Absalom’s long hair, while riding on a mule, is his undoing. Riding under an oak tree with thick branches, his head hair gets caught in the tree, and he floats in the tree with his hair hanging in the oak. Despite King David’s order to leave his son Absalom unharmed, a man named Joab cannot help but take his spear and drive it into Absalom’s heart. Ten warriors do the rest by beating Absalom to death and then throwing him into a pit in the forest. Analysis of the Incident The issue here is the issue of appropriate response and the issue of self-defence. The incident got out of hand because of an inappropriate reaction to the rape of Absalom’s stepsister and, thus, the daughter of King David. Absalom, driven by his natural instinct for revenge, wanted to see an appropriate punishment or action inflicted on the perpetrator.
57
Due to the time delay, anger also built up to the point that the punishment and action occurred with a much greater force. The following diagram will illustrate this graphically. Model of revenge actions:
If King David had acted appropriately, the retaliatory damage would only have fallen to the perpetrator. Due to the very sloppy handling, Absalom’s emotional world piled up, in which not only the perpetrator perished by murder, but also a political power struggle opened up, which in the end resulted in a war in which 20,000 men were involved. The Bible describes this scene thus: “The forest devoured many more people that day than the sword devoured.” This means that there must have been very high casualties. 58
We see that today’s legal decisions often do not consider the consequential damages or the resulting conflict potential based on the decision made. The result is often an ongoing, smouldering conflict and the opening of further fields of war, which only fuel and escalate the conflict. Simson or Samson The story about Samson is a finger-pointing from heaven in several facets. Israel, the people of God, is oppressed by the Philistines because they did what was evil in the eyes of the Lord. Samson is born because of divine will, which gives the people of Israel a “weapon” against the Philistines. In the Old Testament, the people of Israel are often directly supported by God in a war against other nations. This is to make clear that God actively intervenes in the battle and that it is only through God that it can successfully prevail against the enemies without significant damage. It must be noted here, however, that the damage or even losses cannot always be quantified. During Moses’ time, it was the symbol of a staff that Moses had to hold upright – from a safe distance – during the battle. This was a symbolic sign of trust in God, and God, in return, gave Israel’s fighters their favour to carry off the battle with a victory. To bridge back to the story of Samson, it is worth mentioning here that Samson was born by divine providence 59
and with his blessing. He was destined to go against the Philistines with supernatural power – which came from God. In the story of Samson, murder is the order of the day. This action, mind you, and most likely at the behest of God, was to take direct revenge on the Philistines. There were three key incidents in Samson’s life. When he was in his teens, he left his home territory and visited the cities of the Philistines. There he fell in love with a lady of the Philistines. Was this what heaven wanted? After all, the Philistines were the enemies of God. What is decisive is what happens afterwards. Samson’s biological parents had objections, but in the end, Samson was able to convince his parents and thus had the consent to marry the woman. On the way back to the Philistine city where his future wife was staying, something extraordinary happened. The Spirit of God came upon Samson, and he tore a lion apart with his bare hands! Just imagine that Samson could defeat a lion with his bare hands. But wait, there is much more to it than that. In the Bible, the lion symbolizes Jesus Christ, who describes himself as the Lion of Judah. In other words, the chief king of the Israelites. From this, it becomes clear that this is also about a power struggle in heaven between God and his son Jesus. It is a sign from heaven that God would have loved to tear Jesus apart
60
or kill him! Later on, God, YWHW, very impressively commissioned this act to the Romans! The story takes on a much larger scale and shows the bitter dispute at the highest level because the following acts are “out of mind.” In ancient times, marriage was an act of several days. In this case, an act of seven days. A riddle came up in the process, which Samson gave to thirty Philistines to solve as a wager. The prize was thirty festive dresses. Since the Philistines could not solve the riddle, they finally threatened Samson’s bride with death! Unbelievable! Through fierce insistence on her part (including tears), Samson finally revealed the secret to her, which the bride passed on to her tribe. At the end of the wedding, the thirty Philistines confronted Samson with the solution to the riddle. Samson is cornered and feels compelled to redeem the prize. Unable to honour the promised wager, Samson goes to a neighbouring village, slays (murders) thirty men there, and robs them of their festive clothes. Once back, the father proposes to Samson that he marry the bride’s sister since the father had married the bride to the groom’s leader! At this point in the story, I am sure every reader asks, “What the hell is happening here?” But the story picks up speed like this.
61
In revenge and out of anger, Samson torches the fields of the Philistines with the help of fox tails. The Philistines, in turn – as a result of realising that the cause of the burnt fields was the father’s change of mind – burn down the father’s house along with its inhabitants! Samson flees back to Judah. The Philistines send an army to Judah to seize Samson. Judah delivers Samson with the help of 3,000 of its men. They even tie him up to deliver Samson “safely.” However, Samson frees himself from the bondage and slays 1,000 Philistines with the bone of an ass! The people of Judah thus betray their own man. Here it can also be interpreted that the number 1,000 is a hidden indication that Jesus Christ became unfaithful to his father and thus supported the Philistines through marriage or other deeds. As a result, Samson was appointed as judge over Judah. However, Samson fell in love again with a Philistine lady. This was his undoing, however, for Delia betrayed the strength entrusted to her by Samson to the Philistines. What happened next was brutal and ended in a fiasco! Samson was captured again, but his hair was shorn off beforehand. The sign or symbol from heaven of his strength. With the loss of his hair, Samson also lost his God-given strength. He was also blinded, so he lost his sight and went 62
blind. The Philistines mocked him by using him to grind grain. A job that women mainly did at that time. They have him – analogous to Christ in later times – come into a hall where a whole horde of the Philistines mock him. Samson takes hold of his heart this minute and tells God to give him back his strength one last time to take revenge on the Philistines for his eyes. God hears him and gives him back his strength. What happens next is epic! Samson grabs the two central pillars of the hall with his arms and pulls them down with all his strength. This causes the entire building to collapse, killing 3,000 princes, men, women, and children of the Philistines that day. Analysis of the Events An inconceivable but true story! To understand the whole plot in relation to heaven, this incident must be read forensically. It is a battle between God, Jesus, and probably Satan (also called Iblis). As already indicated, the lion is the symbol of Jesus. This must have been a huge disagreement between God and his son Jesus. Jesus, in the first instance, had probably approved of the marriage between Samson and a Philistine woman. However, anyone who “knows” God and reads the Old Testament closely will find that God is a “fan” of partnerships within the closest ideological circle. At best, these were distant relatives (this was still feasible and 63
common at that time for health reasons, to marry one’s cousin). God is obviously not a fan of partnerships between people. There are only isolated examples where he approves of this. He even instructed King Solomon not to take foreign wives. However, in ancient times, this also had a background on a larger scale. The cultures, the religions, and the associated canon of values often showed a much more significant divergence, and the culture and the associated canon of values played a much greater, if not decisive, role. The effects were drastic, as a real war was sparked between the Philistines and Samson, which cost many lives. The Philistines, probably led by Satan as an instrument of pestering against God, tried to stand up to God. Interestingly, a certain triple covenant also came into effect with the marriage. God gives the power, and through the tribes of Judah and the Philistines, the family gains the blessing or even the disfavour of Jesus and Satan. In the best case, therefore, a win (God)-win (Jesus)-win (Satan) situation! Why was this displeasing to God, many readers may now ask? For that, we have to go back to the origin of human life. God saw a certain imperfection as the rule after the fall in 64
the Garden of Eden. That is, life was to be restricted in a certain way. A marriage or emergence of life from different blood also causes stronger blood and, thus, better genes. In the translation to heaven, this means that certain currents are also crossed, and therefore new connections/alliances are created, which are not necessarily in the sense of God. This is also a power-tactical move to separate and “order” both heaven, and thus the angels, and earth, and thus ensure the maintenance of power. The great disadvantage, however, is that a certain simple-mindedness
is
produced,
and
progress
is
considerably inhibited. However, this is not in God’s sense, either, since progress is also a danger of disclosure. In patriarchal or dictatorial systems, there is often an asymmetrical
distribution
of
information
or
even
information. This leads to the fact that power can be built up and also acted out through the advantage of knowledge. Power, a central building block of God and his personality, is an exclusive good that is not accessible or can be revealed to everyone. Jesus
and
Satan
disagree
there
and
see
internationalisation and multiplication as an opportunity, probably also to get more power in heaven.
65
It is also a different view of what constitutes life in and of itself. Is it work, progress, family, or all three elements together? Modern scientific research found that all three areas contribute to individual satisfaction. But we must always bear in mind the effects of the lack of balance when one of the three elements is overused or underused, and thus one of the other two elements is disadvantaged. Usually, a disintegration or collapse of persons or even whole families can be observed. It must never be forgotten that the family is the basis for work and progress. An element that is valued far too little in today’s world. Instead, profits and progress are sacrificed on the back of the family! Not in the sense of number one! Further Analogies in History Here, I would like to bridge the gap between what happened to Samson and the Spartans. The Spartans were distinguished by their superior, unprecedented art of war. In addition, they had a system very similar to the Christian congregation mentioned later in the Bible, which the apostle Paul founded on the basis of Jesus Christ. In ancient Sparta, it was the duty of every Spartan to marry and produce offspring by the age of 30 to maintain the Spartan Empire’s military strength. Anything else was unacceptable! 66
Moreover, torment or even agoge (education) of the individual adolescent was a fundamental part of the male population of Sparta. The training was military in nature, with social manners (hunting, dancing, socialising) also being taught. This also meant that families were sometimes separated to accommodate the demanding training. It was a kind of boarding school where peers could compete but were also steeled in individual training. The aim was to produce physically and morally strong men who lived up to the elite military thinking of Sparta. They were the best warriors on earth at that time. A Spartan warrior was many times ahead of a normal soldier of any other army. However, the advantage of the Spartan army was that it was united and fought together! Whether God’s hand was involved in this cannot be said exactly. Still, analogies to the strictness at the beginning of Christianity or the structure of the Christian assemblies can be recognised here in history. Moreover, the striving for pomp and glamour of today’s leading nations is reminiscent of the practices of the Persian Empire at that time. As in the Tower of Babel, for which God punished the people with confusion, there were also assassinations in the Persian Great Empire during internal unrest. Xerxes, I was murdered by his guard commander, who cunningly directed suspicion
67
to Darius – the eldest son – and thus the latter became the victim of an act of revenge murder by his younger brother Artaxerxes. Another act of revenge against Artaxerxes failed, so Artaxerxes I finally became king. It should be mentioned here that confusion is also a sign of God and one of his weapons of war, used to punish or carry out his will. Evidence of this can be found in the Old Testament, especially in the Book of Moses, where he punishes the Egyptians with confusion. In Deuteronomy 28, God openly communicates that confusion, blindness, madness, discord, unrest, lack of success, but also misfortune, and the sacrifice of violence and injustice are weapons of war for God. God sees the basis of the claim in the
non-compliance
with
his
commandments
and
regulations. As a result, the cause of all the strife on earth is probably God. The basis for this claim has just been explained. There is no evidence in the Bible of any continuous period of human life where there was no war or the like. Earth as a reflection of heaven! Strife and war a permanent condition and the constant of our lives! In the course of the consideration of Samson, this verse is corroborated insofar as God deliberately ignites wars and even uninvolved third parties become victims (in the case of 68
the collapse of the hall at the end of Samson’s life) of the war and find their death. In analogy to the way of looking at the case of Absalom, the reason may also be that war prevents a much greater potential for escalation and thus consciously accepts victims and suffering to avert much greater damage. The following diagram is intended to underline this graphically:
A war thus has a preventive but also a purifying effect insofar as certain conflicts can be limited (time and extent) or even (partially) resolved – through violence.
69
Egypt and the Ten Plagues To explain the story’s context, I would also like to go into the prehistory so that the full extent of the event becomes apparent. In the aftermath, the question must be raised whether the war or the plagues on the Egyptians were planned for a long time, if not for a very long time. Those who know God know that striving for greatness and expansion of power has always been a thorn in his side. A story about this was the Tower of Babel, when the nations tried to build a tower up to heaven not too long after the fall in the Garden of Eden. God met this endeavour with a confusion of tongues that resulted in the project’s abandonment, forcing the nations to scatter the population on earth. This had also been God’s previous instruction. The result is that to this day; there are approximately 7,000 languages and dialects. In this way, a division of peoples and people prevails, and God has achieved his goal of the population of all parts of the earth. To return to the history of the Egyptians: It all started with Joseph, who was not liked by his brothers, who even wanted to kill him. The background was that Jacob (the son of Abraham), the father, loved him more than anything. They
70
were jealous. Little is known about the mother, Rachel (or Rahel). Joseph was then sold to Egypt. He was first a slave and then promoted to servant with Potiphar (a high official in the Egyptian Empire), where his position makes him “Chief of Staff,” that is, the superior of his employees. The Bible mentions that everything was fortunate for Joseph and that God also blessed Potiphar’s house for Joseph’s sake. This means that Potiphar gained divine favour through Joseph’s presence. After an incident of an interpersonal nature, which can be described as intrigue, Joseph is thrown into the dungeon. Interestingly, the subsequent momentous encounter in prison would not have occurred without this incident. For it was only through a fellow prisoner that he came into contact with the head of state, the pharaoh! A fellow prisoner, the pharaoh’s chief cupbearer, received prophetic dreams, which only Joseph could interpret with the help of divine wisdom. The background is that Joseph also had prophetic dreams in his youth, but his family and brothers did not believe him. Joseph was thus a special person from birth because God had shown Himself to him from the beginning of his life.
71
Joseph is correct in his interpretation of dreams, and unbelievable things happen. The cupbearer gets his position back, and the baker, the second prisoner who also had a dream, is hanged. Thus, Joseph was able to interpret the dreams correctly, which were encoded. Of course, he could only do this with the help of God since no one else could interpret the dreams correctly. Since the cupbearer, contrary to the agreement that he should remember Joseph, did not contact Joseph, God sent dreams to the pharaoh. However, none of his wise men or soothsayers could interpret his dream. A sign that it was God who sent this dream. The cupbearer told the pharaoh about Joseph and the correct interpretation of the dream. The pharaoh then sent for Joseph to come to the court. Joseph impressed the pharaoh and was able to interpret the dream for him. Out of gratitude, the pharaoh appointed him as the second man in the state of Egypt! It is an immense rise of Joseph that would not have been possible without God. Joseph was a foreigner in the Egyptian empire and was, from now on, the only subject to the pharaoh.
72
Due to a great famine, the Israelites also came to Egypt to buy grain. The brothers found Joseph again through this route, and the family was reunited. Joseph’s whole family moved from Canaan to Egypt because of the famine. The pharaoh allowed them to live and do their business in the best land in Egypt – the rural land of Gosen. It was a time of peace, and the family, respectively the tribe, grew a lot. Soon after, a new ruler came to head the country, and he knew nothing of Joseph’s previous history. He saw that the Israelites were more in number and still stronger than the Egyptians. If a war were to break out, the Israelites could join the enemies of the Egyptians and thus fight in alliance against Egypt, which was the new pharaoh’s idea. The Egyptians thus began to oppress the Israelites and subjugate them. In addition, the Egyptians began to use violence and had the first-born males murdered by sorting them out so that the number of Israelites was decimated. Moses was a child who could only be rescued by the pharaoh’s daughter in the Nile. Moses thus grew up in the pharaoh’s court as the son of the pharaoh’s daughter. Because of the murder of an Egyptian oppressor, Moses fled the country. There God opened up to him and sent him
73
back to Egypt after a purification process, where he was to liberate his people. God hears the lamentations of his people. Here it is noticeable that, on the one hand, God was merciful to Joseph’s family and allowed them to grow up in the best part of the world empire of Egypt. By saving Moses, we see that he had already made preparations for the problem of oppression. However, it must also be mentioned that the family had to suffer greatly through violence and that there were also killings through overwork or even deliberate murders of the male firstborn. In addition, the rise of Egypt is also due to the work of the Israelites, as they contributed decisively to Egypt’s supremacy. After further escalations, it now came to the big showdown: Moses goes with Aaron (his assistant) to the pharaoh. Aaron throws down his staff in front of the pharaoh. The staff becomes a snake. The Egyptian magicians could also perform these miracles. Any magician could conjure snakes from staffs, but Aaron’s snake swallowed up all the magicians’ snakes! A demonstration of power! It is finger-pointing to who is the greatest and most powerful god here! But also a sign that several powerful spiritual beings can perform miracles and fight against God. 74
Since the pharaoh, despite this demonstration of power, does not listen to them and lets the Israelites go voluntarily, God opens his war chest and starts a consuming power struggle, better known as the ten plagues! Subsequent plagues were brought upon the Egyptians in ten stages: 1. The water of the Nile turns to blood for seven days and thus becomes undrinkable. 2. Frogs move into the land of Egypt. 3. Mosquitoes populate the land. 4. Sting flies plague the land. 5. Pestilence comes upon the cattle. 6. Boils infest the Egyptians. 7. Hail comes upon the Egyptians. 8. Locusts cover the land. 9. Darkness covers the land of Egypt for three days. 10. Death of the firstborn of man and cattle. In plagues 1-3, the pharaoh’s magicians were able to keep up and conjure out exactly the same plagues. In Plagues 4, 5, 7, 9, and 10, God made a difference, for the plague did not affect his people who dwelt in the land of Goshen. In plague number 10, the Israelites even had to offer sacrifices
75
so that the blood of the slaughtered animals would mark the doorposts. It is also remarkable that God or the Lord hardened the pharaoh’s heart. This means that God became active and consciously moved the pharaoh’s heart not to let his people go! This means that God actively wanted to see the war through to the bitter end and thus took pleasure in the suffering and acts of vengeance, and it was not a matter of mere punitive judgement or an act of revenge. Moreover, it must be noted that even his people had to go through half of the plagues. Moreover, it must be concluded that God deliberately provoked this conflict. We remember that Joseph was sold to Egypt also as a result of the ill-will of his brothers, which was also a result of Joseph’s described dreams in his youth. If God had not maltreated Joseph in his youth, he would not have come to Egypt, and this conflict would not have arisen! Accordingly, it must also be asked why his people, for whose situation God is clearly jointly responsible, share half of the punishment of the aggressors. This shows once again that God or the Lord actively brings about wars, sometimes just to satisfy his urge for power. One could also simply call it self-satisfaction. 76
Moreover, God is a personality who delights in the suffering of human beings. There is much talk in the Old Testament of God bringing war and rape upon a people or even individuals. God is not a personality similar to a loving father, as the church or other religious communities like to draw him. God is a power being through and through. He would do anything to consolidate his power! By everything, I mean everything! As we see, he even sacrifices his people, his followers, for this! In the end, the Egyptian chapter did not benefit anyone, except that Joseph was able to spend an exciting life as a second in the pharaoh’s court for a few years. Moreover, his family lived in peace for some time in the land of Goshen. The rest, however, can be described as a lose-lose situation. For afterwards, as punishment, the Israelites wander haphazardly in the wilderness for forty years! Even the soldiers of World War II on the Eastern Front thus had a “nicer journey home!” This comparison is also meant to show the barbaric side of God! God, in his blackest form, without a spark of love or feeling! In further analysis, it must be clearly stated that dreams come from God. God speaks to people in dreams. For the interpretation of dreams, however, a human being is needed who has been chosen by God, and can interpret the dreams 77
logically. Insofar as God has a will, this will also be achieved through detours despite obstacles. God’s ways are not clear or even recognisable at first glance, but he uses his chosen people to carry out his will. This also happens at the cost of suffering, death, and destruction, even mass murder. The cause of the Egypt story is thus a purely powerrelated matter! An ongoing power struggle. A kind of saga or series, like a film series. In the end, humanity is just a spectacle of heaven! The series was thus also a battle epic at the end when Moses parted the Red Sea and the Egyptian army drowned in the waters. Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego For many readers, this story is probably quite unknown; however, I would like to explain it in this framework, as it contains an essential learning aspect and even includes a little hidden point. The three rulers, or the young men mentioned above, are prisoners of war of the first order. King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon had besieged and conquered Jerusalem. The king ordered his chamberlain to select some of the Israelites who were “of royal stock and of noble birth, young men who had no infirmities, but were handsome, understanding, wise, prudent and understanding, thus able
78
to serve in the king’s court; and he should have them instructed in the writing and language of the Chaldeans.” The chamberlain gave the Israelites the following names: Daniel -> Belteshazzar Hananiah -> Shadrach Michaël -> Meshach Azariah -> Abednego The young people were trained in the royal court and were so outstanding in their learning that God gave them the understanding and insight for every kind of writing and wisdom. Again, it is emphasised that Daniel especially understood dream interpretation of every kind. Once again, a story where the theme of dreams is given wide prominence and manifested; dreams come from God! In the selection process for the king’s servants, no one was found who was on the level of Daniel, Hananiah, Michael, and Azariah. They became the king’s servants. It is reported that “the king found them ten times wiser and more understanding in all things that he asked them than all the diviners and wise men in all his kingdom.” That is quite a number, or rather a clear sign! God was with the four young men, and they were many times superior to the competition.
79
In the second year of his reign, the king had a momentous dream which distressed him greatly. He sent for all the soothsayers and fortune-tellers to come to his royal house, but the entourage played for time as they could not interpret the dream. The king, furious with rage, ordered to have all the wise men of Babel killed. Perhaps this had also been a war aim of God. By killing his wise men, he also killed the most intelligent people in his country, thus decimating even his royal power and strength. Daniel hears of the order and confides in the chief of the king’s bodyguard and asks to be allowed to audition so that he can be heard. Daniel assures the king that with God’s help, he will be able to interpret the dream. I recommend the reader read Daniel chapter 2. The dream of Nebuchadnezzar is of central importance for human history because, in this dream, God prophesies the coming world empires that will rule the earth. The next day, Daniel interprets the dream as follows: It speaks of a statue that looks like the one illustrated in the graphic illustration. Of course, my illustration is based on a PowerPoint template. The Statue in the dream probably looked more like a painting.

It is written: “You, king, king of kings, to whom the God of heaven has given kingdom, power, strength, and honour, and to whom he has given into his hands all the lands where people live, plus the beasts of the field and the birds of the air, and to whom he has given authority over everything! You are the golden head.” It is written quite clearly that the strength of Nebuchadnezzar comes from heaven. With the addition of “king of kings,” the majestic is made clear, but also that Babylonia, the pinnacle, will be the boiling point of majesty.
81
What comes after will never come close to the glory of Babylonia. This is also underlined by the gold. In the sequel to the description of the breast, which is made of silver, Daniel refers to the fact that a kingdom is coming which will be inferior to that of Nebuchadnezzar. Here, therefore, a downward spiral is clearly also prophesied or also heralded. Anyone who has read the first chapter of my book carefully will have noticed that since the Garden of Eden, there has been a constant qualitative downward spiral. Daniel also only briefly mentions the third kingdom and hints that it will rule over all countries. The fourth kingdom will be hard as iron and will crush and break everything. The fifth kingdom will be a divided kingdom made of iron and clay mixed together. The interpretation also refers to the hardness of iron but also to the weak element of clay, which will stick together. The Bible even speaks of marriage, but these will not adhere to each other. During this time, that is, during the time of the fifth kingdom, a kingdom will be set up in heaven by God, which will last forever and destroy all the kingdoms of the world. The following correct conclusions can be drawn from this:
82
There will be five great world empires before God sets up a kingdom in heaven. At the time of the fifth world empire (AngloAmerican world power), God will become active and destroy all earthly kingdoms. Thus, there will be no sixth great world empire. According to this interpretation, there will be no world power in China, as many assume. We will not see it because God will intervene first. The last kingdom will also be conspicuous because strong elements will be paired with weak ones. This may be a reference not to power but also to partnerships, as the Bible mentions the word “marriage” in certain translations. Thus, God draws in a natural barrier whereby the pairing of strong and weak elements produces an average result. Many will now object and say that human progress and the like are anything but average. However, God is not necessarily judging the achievements of humanity here but is rather aiming purely at human assets of a primarily physical nature. The mind is trained disproportionately in our society compared to the time, as the complexity of the world has increased significantly. By emphasising that the two
83
elements are also not attached to each other, a lack of loyalty is also underlined. This can also be observed in today’s world, where partnerships, work relationships, business connections, and loyalty is dwindling bit by bit, leading to a crumbling or even erosion of our society. This is a clear sign of weakness that leads to disunity, which also heralds a natural process of degeneration and, ultimately, the end of human governments. It is also explained at the end of Daniel’s dream interpretation that a stone will come down from heaven or from the mountain and crush the statue (and thus the kingdoms of mankind) without the intervention of human hands. A clear message that God will actively intervene and act destructively! Informatively, it should be noted that Daniel 7, in particular, details these great powers. However, I will not mention them here, as I want to address a wider circle of readers. However, the story continues and picks up speed. Nebuchadnezzar had a golden image made, probably also to manifest his power, which became evident in the figurative dream. Nebuchadnezzar ordered all the powerful to come to the dedication of the image and commanded that 84
at the specific sound of the trumpets, trombones, harps, zithers, flutes, lutes, and all other instruments, all should bow down before the image. Those who did not worship the image were to be immediately thrown into the fiery furnace. Some Chaldeans denounced three Jewish men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who did not bow before the image. The king reacted very angrily and threatened that if they did not bow down before the image and worship it, and thus probably himself, he would have the blazing furnace heated seven times hotter. The three men were tied up and thrown into the extremely hot furnace. The furnace was so hot that the men who had thrown the three Judean men into the furnace died! However, when other men checked the furnace, they saw four men walking around in the furnace. One man resembled one of the gods. Nebuchadnezzar ordered the men to come out of the furnace! They were unharmed and did not even have a burning smell! Nebuchadnezzar finally fell down before the god of the three Israelites and praised him! It was clearly a power struggle! If you read the incident carefully and link it to my introduction to the book, you will notice that Nebuchadnezzar was the king of kings. Who is 85
the king of kings in heaven? It is Jesus. At that time, not yet Christ, which means Saviour. Once again, as with Samson, it was a power struggle between God and his son, Jesus. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, as already described in the first chapter of this book, are most likely living examples of selection into the first guard of God. It was the fiery test so that after the end of their lives, they would serve as Cherub or Seraphim in heaven in God’s bodyguard and thus probably surpass the rank of king in heaven in power, appearance, and wisdom (cf. Elaboration on Cherubim/Seraphim on p. 10, 11). We also learn that God needs this elite bodyguard since it is the case – as in ancient Rome – that even his son would kill him to get into power! Therefore, it is right to bring the truth out into the open. This shows that heaven is not just romance and that the picture drawn of angels lying on the cloud listening to the harp probably only represents a partial view. In reality, a fierce power struggle is going on, which has been going on since the history of mankind and which is also responsible for the wars on earth. That is a fact! The dream painting of the churches and the religious communities is not purposeful and conveys a false picture of the facts! 86
The real picture is difficult to digest, but it describes the actual situation better and deals with expectations more realistically. Moreover, based on the realistic picture, a much better strategy can be developed on how to shape the future in the best and most sensible way to still have a joyful and great life. Based on the insights gained, I have created a diagram so that each person’s ways of acting can be transferred into a model, and the resulting feelings of God can be derived. Model of feelings by the respective ways of acting [by Philipp Fusz]:
As we can see, actions that lie in the respective border areas are associated with corresponding dangers. Even top
87
performances are dangerous in the long run because they have support potential. In the Bible, the incident of Job is a pointer from heaven, where Job, the most righteous of the time, is severely damaged by heaven’s trial: His entire household is cut off, and he himself is also struck with disease. Furthermore, in the example of Absalom or Samson, we also see the destructive effect of these top performances. In the end, death is very close. Achilles, one of the best warriors of his time – a legend – also sees death quite early. Even top performances based on morally dubious actions are often interpreted as provocation, which then leads to a state of war. At the top level, the warlike component is a constant. It does not matter whether it is morally sound or based on dubious moral deeds: The result is similar—war as a permanent condition. Usually evident in many facets. Underachievement harbours that, if morally impeccable, it is usually perceived as hope—the righteous citizen who always dutifully observes all laws and pays taxes on time. But in reality, due to the lack of performance, competence, or even value creation, there is a certain danger of losing integrity and, thus, reputation. Part of integrity is also reputation
and
respectability.
Underperformance,
incompetence, and a lack of reputation are an attack on integrity.
88
Hope describes the feeling, if not in the extreme fringe, of being able to push the person into the “joy” quadrant because of morally impeccable actions. However, it is also a fine line to grief, provided the necessary services are not rendered. Despair can quickly lead to a result of failure, which in the long run is tantamount to extinction. For failure, in extreme cases, is not only a temporary imbalance but sometimes a permanent condition that results in the extinction of one’s own life. By life, I do not mean existing as a human being but the qualitative, highquality time of life. A life that can be described as life and not just as mere existence. The questions derived from this should be for everyone: Under what premises/what set of values do I achieve my goals? What means (deeds) are spent on the ends (states)? How do I ensure that I remain in the quadrant of joy permanently throughout my life? From personal experience, I can say that the issue of relationships and family, but also honestly a certain success, plays a big role in this. A missing relationship or missing partnership often leads to sadness and dissatisfaction for many. Why is this the case? 89
Because it is not the will of God! God clearly said at the creation of man that it was not good for man to be alone; therefore, he created woman as a helpmate. This means that a lack of relationship is also, in a sense, a rebellion against God! The feeling of dissatisfaction and sorrow thus comes from God! It is the feeling that God has towards us! In addition, we should make our life time meaningful and use our respective talents and gifts as they have been given to us. What behaviours or characteristics does God love? What behaviours can God identify with? Which deeds reflect his personality? Excellency See the elaboration of Hananiah, Micah, and Azariah. Wisdom came from God, and this wisdom far surpassed the others. Whenever God turned to certain people, their wisdom was many times greater than that of their peers. The legendary King Solomon is also an example. Impeccability Also, see the elaboration of Hananiah, Micah, and Azariah. King Solomon, in all his splendour, also had only the choicest wives. God stands for first class!
90
Straightforwardness Also, compare the explanations of my selected examples. Moreover, God describes himself in the Bible as a being who does not change, as walking shadows do. In addition, it is straightforward not always to say yes and to show boundaries, if necessary, with violence (see subsection “Violence” on this). Sharing and charity Excessive help among people is not in the spirit of God! Life should be enjoyed, and one’s own family or household should come first. Conversely, this also means that if there is an imbalance in private life, it is sensible and wise to eradicate it as the first official act. The thought of Jesus Christ that Christians stand before the family or the respective household is contrary to the opinion of God and, in a certain way, blasphemy because it degrades the family. Everyone is the architect of his fortune. The lazy person does not need to be and should not be supported permanently! The Bible also uses God’s saying, “Go to the ant, you lazy one.” Honesty Coupled with straightforwardness, honesty is a big theme with God! God also dares to speak uncomfortable truths. There is innumerable evidence of this in the Old
91
Testament when God reflects judgments or even unpalatable prophecies. Courage Courageous action. Courage comes from God. This is what God reveals in the Bible. Courageous people have this gift from God. Moral Stability Coupled With a Dose Of Satan God is a winner who does not lose. These are preferably brought about by morally impeccable actions to achieve his goals. However, “devilish” deeds, which serve as deterrents to demonstrate power and sovereignty, are also part of God’s personality! Reputation is a part of integrity. Therefore, not everyone can become a friend of God or be one permanently. God can only make friends at a high level, and his power and sovereignty must be reflected in them. Those who have the Babylon incident in mind can see that being warred against by Jesus is also a sign! To be with God, number one is also partly to be in battle with number two, Jesus. Military God is also a God of war, who describes himself as Lord of hosts in the Bible! Diligence, discipline, loyalty, and devotion are important attributes of God!
92
In addition, “sovereign” and “Lord of hosts” reveal a certain tendency and preference for militarism. Moreover, contrary to the opinion of many scholars, God actively performs or instructs violent actions. Here, Genesis 31 provides information on how God views issues in war, such as looting, captivity in war, and the desecration of women. Furthermore, the Old Testament is also a textbook on the art of warfare. Violence According to the Bible, violence is only permitted in exceptional cases and when it is for a higher purpose or selfdefence. Then violence is an appropriate means to maintain the integrity of life and limb and elementary legal rights. This is also the view of German legislation. Abstracted from this, the punitive acts of God must be considered, which often threaten life and limb and elementary legal interests. Family The family is an important building block in God’s view. God’s view is that the family and tribe should be perpetuated and that close relationships are beneficial. The advantage is the strengthening of the sense of community and the
93
strengthening of family ties. In the past, God even instructed persons to seek a wife from close relatives (e.g., the uncle). Due to very strong blood, it was possible and desired by God to marry even the cousin! Music Music is a central component of God. God delights in loud and joyful music, which was often celebrated under King David. The angelic host, the Seraphim, who joyfully praise God, are said to sing and praise God at such a volume that the very core of the palace is shaken. For me, this also confirms that God is anything but boring. God is also thus a joyful God, who is thus also a fan of clubs and discos. Women and Sex The topics of women and sexuality are important and welcome. Appearance plays a significant role for God. Whenever God was involved, it can be read that the woman was beautiful. In the case of Job, God blessed Job with the most beautiful daughters in the land! Appearance is a sign of power and reflects the glory of God. However, this also includes conduct. Proverbs 11:22 can be quoted: “A golden ring in the trunk of a wild sow? Such is a beautiful woman without conduct!” As envisaged at creation, women should generally submit to the man and cooperate with the man. Stubborn 94
women or women who do not submit to God’s decree are not excellent women in God’s eyes. Moreover, in God’s eyes, a childless woman is – according to classical thinking – crookedness that does not correspond to God’s norm. At this point, I would also like to write something about prostitution. Prostitution, the oldest trade in the world, does not come from God. God describes it as a dishonouring act for the daughters of the fathers and clearly disapproves of prostitution! He once even wanted to destroy an entire city unless it stopped the acts (Nineveh). Furthermore, he destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah into the ground because of their perverted acts, including homosexuality. In Deut. 23:18, he also clearly forbids prostitution or even dealing with prostitutes. Since the Israelites were his (God’s) people then and still are today through the Abrahamic Covenant, this restriction is to be seen as even more important for persons historically in the relationship of the divine covenant. The value construct -> A man and a woman to match has not changed! The words “to match” are deliberately formatted in bold and underlined because he also designed Eve as a matching counterpart! Certain relationships thus spark the character of blasphemy or even rebellion against God! Moreover, the new moral idea of excessive self95
presentation or selling one’s body on a second level (sugar girls) is also to be considered prostitution. Only exclusive individuals are allowed to avail themselves of the service of a prostitute (a noble concubine). Usually, these are men of high rank who have the appropriate status with God and thus have permission to live out this luxury. One example is King Solomon, who had three hundred wives and seven hundred concubines. He thus had his own harem or playhouse, where he could choose the ladies he wanted every day. There is also an event reported in the Bible where God does not comment further on a non-king’s going to a prostitute and is thus classified as acceptable! However, reference must be made here to what has been written above. It is only possible if the appropriate standing with God is given. And how can I then recognise that I belong to the select circle of people, i.e., those whom God approves of using the service of a concubine? The relationship with the lady must be given, and the attraction must come from both. That is, the lady enjoys the visit and has a very good feeling about it. The person will quickly know whether this is okay for the individual case because God will give one the appropriate sense of whether the act was good or not. 96
But in all other cases, this way of acting is a declaration of war against God, number one! Why, then, are there so many prostitutes? Many will now ask themselves—more about this in the next chapter, which is about Jesus. Thus, we realise that it is sometimes very extensive to know God properly, and it also requires effort to please him. You cannot buy God’s love and cannot work for it, either. It is like choosing a partner. Either you love someone, or you do not. Then you also accept certain “flaws” and try to eradicate them through love, training, and work/training. In the case of God, it must be honestly stated that the initial person must have a high level (certain flawlessness) so that it is really God, the number one, who becomes active in life. According to the Old Testament, this happens directly in the rarest of cases. Only a select handful of people enjoyed the privilege of meeting God directly. But it is an extraordinary experience at the edge of physical and psychological imagination, which can only be endured through God’s power. Without God’s power, one would not survive the encounter (see the examples cited).
97
The Appearance of the Christ and the New Testament Much has already been written about the appearance of the Messiah or Christ (Saviour). The Bible also sets the background: Jesus was sent to earth as an atoning sacrifice for the fall in the Garden of Eden. The equation mentioned in the introduction, apple (liability) + Jesus (demand) = 0, is to be settled by Jesus’ death. Consequently, Jesus’ death promotes him to Christ and thus to the redeemer. But the equation has not yet worked out, for world conditions do not resemble those of the Garden of Eden. Much has been written about the mercy of Jesus since it was his mission to represent God’s personality and win back the Jews. Of course, Jesus was also, to a certain extent, an advertising figure of God or heaven. Today, one would also say a PR campaign. But there is much more to it than even the greatest critics claim. Jesus was and is a personality in his own right, similar to that of his father – as in a typical father-son relationship. However – and this is the crux of the matter – the muchinvoked Trinity is a misinterpretation of most religions since Jesus is an independent being with an independent character and an independent value construct. He is God’s son, but thus also a separate being. The Holy Spirit is God’s power 98
or can also be a person (usually an angel) who comes from God. Therefore God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit are not the same and can also be crossed. This means that in the best case, there is a correspondence of the three elements, and in the absolute worst case, there is no correspondence of the three elements. Therefore, although the personalities of God and Jesus are similar, there are still sometimes massive differences in their respective characteristics. The story of Jesus does not need to be rehashed and explained at this point. With his death on the cross or stake, his primary mission of exchanging perfect blood for the sins of humanity ends. With his blood, Jesus buys humanity from God. He has, so to speak, the currency with which God agrees and which grants Jesus a 1,000-year reign under his kingdom. For 1,000 years, Jesus is thus in charge. I will deal specifically with the 1,000-year kingdom in the chapter after next. In the following, I would like to go into the central teaching points of Jesus, which thus also reflect the character of Jesus, whereby the reader gets to know Jesus better. Jesus is rather a sociable man who likes to be with people. Therefore, when he began his ministry after the age of thirty, he also appointed twelve disciples or apostles to 99
follow him and accompany him on his journeys and in his work. It is a kind of entourage. Jesus does not travel alone and is always surrounded by his disciples, whom he teaches while he is travelling, but with whom he also spends time, as friends would do. Despite the hierarchy, the tone is relaxed, and Jesus reprimands missteps but is not carried through to the last. According to the motto, “There comes a time when it is over.” In addition, Jesus is aware of the imperfections of his disciples, knowing that mistakes and missteps are to be expected. He pays a lot of respect to the women for the conditions of that time and shows a lot of compassion for them. He loves women and can put himself in their shoes. He also appreciates their deeds and is open with children. What is striking is that Jesus is not well-disposed towards business people. He refers to business people as people who would either love business or love him, and so, in a way, he also divides society. Either you are successful and striving, or you stand up for me and my values. Under Jesus, there seems to be no business success associated with him. He uses hyperbole (a stylistic device of exaggeration) here, illustrating that it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God.
100
Another time he invites Zacchaeus, sitting on a tree during one of his journeys, to come to him the following evening. Jesus thus invites himself and, during his visit, reveals that he expects Zacchaeus to pay back to the debtors four times what he owes them due to fraud in tax settlements. In a third incident, during a visit to the temple, he overturns the merchants’ tables and angrily tells them that they have turned his father’s house into a den of thieves. All incidents where Jesus takes decisive action against the business world. After all, his father, God YHWH, a person for whom wealth and riches are a sign of blessing, is quite different. Here the question must be asked: What is the goal of Jesus? Since he redeems mankind with his blood and buys it from his father, he wants a “return on investment.” In other words, Jesus wants a return on his investment. We must not deceive ourselves. In everything we do, we expect something in return. We go to sports to be fitter, healthier and happier. We eat so that we do not go hungry. We enter into relationships because they do us good, generate value for us, and we enjoy them. Jesus also has an interest in us. He wants to take the lead in directing – we still need to keep in mind that we are a spectacle of heaven.
101
Jesus also speaks in the Gospel that only he is the leader, and only he is to be called that. Jesus thus wants us to occupy the time we spend on earth with him and “make disciples of people of all nations,” as it was written down in the Gospel as a commission to the Christian world. This means that Jesus, in opposition to God, brings into being a kind of sales machinery that praises him as Messiah and thus as Saviour. It is also an elevation of Jesus to a God-King! God, YHWH only as the very last instance, if the system should go off the rails, as an actor still intervening! This is also underlined by the fact that Jesus creates his own religion with the Christians and Christianity, where he is at the centre. This is a milestone in history that has never before been seen in this way: Jesus thus provides both the control and the religious guideline and, therefore, the canon of values for the world, not primarily God! After all, it was God in connection with Satan, Iblis, who has controlled the work on earth, and pompous world empires have arisen but have also been destroyed. Moreover, God was clearly given the canon of values and was at the centre of worship and religious activities.
102
Jesus wants and needs to assert himself, having been given a mandate by his Father to also reflect his Father’s personality. Why do I write “will” first and then “must”? The forensic reader will ask because God’s will and the price agreement were most likely negotiated with Jesus in heaven or communicated to him before Jesus’ death. Thus, first, the will was there, and then the subsequent circumstance that the action had to work out, and thus he had to stand his ground. Another difference between Jesus and God is the eating and drinking behaviour. God is someone who was meticulous about the diet of his servants or even chosen ones. Hananiah, Micaiah, and Azariah were only allowed to eat vegetarian food and not drink alcohol, so they looked immaculate and better. With Jesus, on the other hand, the Pharisees (scribes of the Jews) said that he was a glutton and a drunkard. It must be acknowledged that the Pharisees were not favourably disposed towards Jesus, so this statement cannot really be judged without prejudice. At a wedding feast, Jesus even turned water into wine. However, this also represents generosity on Jesus’ part. Jesus was also slender in stature, or rather the traditions do not say anything detrimental about him.
103
Since Jesus was travelling as a representative, there is no mention of a wife or a love affair, which, against the background of his imminent death, is another reason for mourning for those who were close to Jesus and were on friendly terms with him. But as mentioned at the beginning, Jesus was very open-minded and emotional towards women since one incident mentioned tears. From this, we can already work out two or even three major differences between Jesus and his Father. Jesus is a very emotional and sociable person or spirit creature who enjoys eating and drinking. God is also emotional but also very rational, more of a power seeker who looks for achievement in those around him and not like Jesus, who primarily also looks for suitable character. God is also a friend of little or no alcoholic beverages and sees food as a necessary evil. This is backed up biblically when YHWH once wanted to kill the sons of a priest for being too drunk. Regarding food, it was noticeable at the time of the Israelites that it was very simple and had a filling character rather than seeing it as a pleasure. Another element that emerges after thorough work is that Jesus punishes preventively or pre-emptively, whereas God only punishes afterward. It is true that in the Old Testament,
104
God prevented further escalations, but only if the deed or an act was committed beforehand. Jesus punishes before the act. In the parable of the millstone, even a stumble of the brother is a reason for murder on the part of Jesus Christ! “Whoever causes a brother to stumble, it would be better for him than for him to be sunk by a millstone into the sea.” Luke 17:2 is the theological basis of the above quotation. From this, it becomes clear that Jesus approves murder to prevent a brother from stumbling. Mind you, according to German law, paragraph 211 (2) of the German Penal Code [StGB] would imply murder for base motives! To bring a little sweetness to the analysis, it becomes clear in passing that science fiction films such as Minority Report deal with precisely this subject matter. Judgments are pronounced and atoned for before the deed is done. A hint from heaven? Who knows! This insight is a milestone in the history of theology! Furthermore, Jesus tries, also with the help of violence or warlike actions, to find disciples or to draw them to him. The best example is the apostle Paul, whom he calls to be an apostle through a raid and, so to speak, obliges him to serve.
105
God lets everyone decide freely whether they want to serve him. In the Old Testament, only selected priests or kings were allowed to serve or represent God anyway. But God made this selection by a gentle and very pleasing intervention. What results when punishments are imposed before they exist is not only morally and ethically more than reprehensible or even repugnant. No, a restriction in one’s life leads to further problems. It is a vicious circle, which from now on should be correctly described as the Jesus cycle or the Christ cycle. We also learn that blaming everything bad on the devil or Satan is a fairy tale with no theological basis. Moreover, it must be noted that even Jesus once called his closest confidant or disciple Peter Satan. Satan is thus not really to be understood as Satan like the name Iblis, but instead as betrayal or falsehood. Moreover, he called his best and closest friend on earth Satan. If this was an impulsive reaction – as the account states – then it must be concluded that Satan must also have been his closest confidant in heaven. The impulsive reaction thus also betrayed him, Jesus, when he associates the relationship with Peter with Satan or Iblis in heaven and thus passes this spoken judgement on 106
Peter. This is further supported by the thought that God, YHWH, would not allow it for so long if Satan and his son Jesus were at odds and there was no basic harmony. Since God wants to live in glory, a good basic relationship between Jesus, his son, and Satan is a must-have. A little teasing is allowed, but the relationship between Jesus and Satan is more like that of very good friends or brothers. Furthermore, the so-called cross of Peter in modern times is a sign of rejection of Christian values or Satanism. Peter did not want to be crucified in analogy to Christ, as he considered this unworthy, so he had himself crucified in reverse. But perhaps it was also in protest of the sufferings he had to endure. The significance of Peter is very important for Christianity since Jesus gave him the authority or responsibility for Christianity and, thus, for religion in and of itself. In this context, the Catholic Church also speaks of Peter’s ministry, knowing fully well that he bears responsibility for Christianity in heaven. In the grand context of the Messianic Kingdom, Jesus Christ is not primarily responsible for everything. He is the supreme ruler with his sub-commanders for specific areas. Simon Peter is responsible for the subject of Christianity and religion. To put it precisely, it is a lie or also ignorance of socalled theologians or experts who let themselves be blinded
107
by the superficially beautiful story of Jesus and thus disregard the details and completely misrepresent the quintessence of the event. As a result, wrong decisions are made, often with serious consequences. To put it succinctly, Jesus Christ can act as a murderer if he has a valid foundation in his mind! There does not even have to be a reason or an act! As in the above example, a mere suspicion is sufficient to obtain a conviction of Jesus! On the contrary, Jesus can save lives and lifetimes. Critics will now indignantly say: You cannot say that, and surely Jesus can read people’s hearts. No, he cannot! It is written in the Bible that only God can predict the future, and even then, there are unforeseen events that even God cannot foresee! That is a fact, as hard as it will be for many to digest! Jesus may be able to predict the future in general or point in a rough direction. Still, it is when matters become more detailed and complex that only God, as the sole “Master of the Universe,” can still successfully direct things, for only he has the all-encompassing power to do so! And even then, God has used various auxiliary constructs in the past to get the desired result in the end. The other truths about Jesus are also not pretty. They will literally turn the reader’s stomach, for Jesus is a being who
108
also has two weapons of war ready in his torture case, which he prefers to use against humanity. During his work on earth, Jesus was known to heal illnesses or influence nature and thus tame natural disasters. However, the current sickness, pandemic situation, and the state of nature are not – to put it gallantly – a satisfactory status quo. We must remember that Jesus touted the Kingdom of Heaven, much talked about during his descent as a human being, as a way out of the problems and discords. In Luke 12, however, Jesus speaks plainly of coming to do harm! “I have come to cast fire on the earth; what would I rather that it burned already!” That is what Jesus Christ said. It is quite astonishing what the church teaches about Jesus and what is in the Bible. There is a glaring difference, and one must denounce the fact that the entire religions paint a picture of God and Jesus that only partially corresponds to the truth and is instead aimed at having paying members. The cash register must ring! The teachings of the religions do not have much to do with the Bible. In verse 51, Jesus, mind you, the coming redeemer, unloads his anger even more clearly: “Do you think that I have come to bring peace on earth? I tell you: No, but 109
discord. For from now on there will be five in one house divided, three against two and two against three. There will be father against son, and son against father, mother against daughter, and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.” Those who wonder why there is so much suffering and discord at present will find the answer here—the confession of Jesus Christ himself. The church’s thesis that the evil devil is responsible for all the suffering is simply a misrepresentation. Yes, the devil transformed himself into a serpent in the Garden of Eden, but no one stopped him, either. Jesus confesses in Luke 12 about the future condemnations in the world. Moreover, the much-quoted Bible verse in 1 John, according to which “the world is in the power of him who is evil,” was only written after Jesus Christ had worked on earth. Prior to that, no corresponding sentence was mentioned in the Bible since God had handed over the reign to Satan. For when Satan tempted Jesus during his time of trial, Satan offered him all the kingdoms of this world if he would offer him an act of worship.
110
Conversely, this means that the entire world empires up to the Roman Empire were also decisively shaped by Satan, Iblis. In the time after his death, Jesus took over the helm or the direction of Satan and God and is the leader, the king of kings, and the ruler of this world. God is “only” still active as a supervisory board since he has accepted Jesus’ perfect blood and his bestial death as currency. Accordingly, it must also be logically concluded that God YHWH also ascribes a fair share of the blame for Jesus’ fall into sin in the Garden of Eden, for Satan did not have to come to earth and wash away his sins through a bestial death. Rather, Jesus’ descent and activity as a carpenter, preaching, and bestial mockery and execution by the Romans are to be seen as humiliation, chastisement, and punishment. Of course, it is also much easier to paint a picture in black and white. Jesus is good. Satan is evil, and God is working things out for good. This message is easy to understand and digest by people, and with which many followers can be generated. However, the reality is much more complex and multi-layered than the aforementioned rule of three. Jesus provides another confession in Luke 21, where he talks about the omens of his appearing. In analogy to Nebuchadnezzar’s dream, where we learned that there would 111
only be a certain number of world empires, the link to the appearance of the Messiah can be drawn here. For through the passing of the baton from Satan to Jesus, he will once again visit the earth during his ministry, but not as a human being, but rather as a judging angel who distributes punishment to humanity and thus pours out his wrath on people. Luke 21 speaks of this from verse 9 onwards: “But when you hear of wars and troubles, be not dismayed. For these things must come to pass first; but the end is not yet so near. Then he said to them: One nation shall rise against another, and one kingdom against another; and there shall be great earthquakes, and here and there famines and pestilences; also terrors, and great signs from heaven.” These are the portents by which it will be apparent that Christ will soon come as an avenging angel. The consummation is described as follows: “And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth, the nations shall be afraid, and shall despair at the roaring and the shaking of the sea; and men shall perish for fear, and will look for the things which are to come upon all the earth: for the powers of the heavens shall be shaken. And then shall they see the son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.” 112
Are there any people he spares? Yes, according to him, there should be: “But when these things begin to come to pass, look up, and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.” Mind you; he said this sentence to his disciples. This means, by implication, that Jesus primarily seeks the salvation of his followers and thus the mathematical zeroing of the equation; Apple (commitment) + Jesus (demand) = 0; Only comes to light after the appearance of Jesus Christ as the avenging angel. This means that the claim is only booked and made active in accounting terms by the appearance of Christ. A time axis, deliberately chosen without dates, is used to graphically illustrate the process. It should be mentioned here that after Jesus’ death, God gave him a period of punishment in heaven before he was allowed to take over as King of Kings. A time also to get Jesus really fired up? Yes and no, because although the scriptures refer to a certain barrier of a power-technical nature, there were still other activities in which he could shine. It is written in the scriptures that he (Jesus) shall sit at my right hand until I put your (Jesus’) enemies under your
113
feet for a footstool. Thus, he was at God’s right-hand side, but without executive authority. However, Jesus also had an important mission or even an important project/occupation during the time of his ministry until the beginning of his reign in heaven. For he
was allowed to choose 144,000 kings, who, of course, also had to be confirmed by God. Along with this, it is also clear that after Jesus’ death, complexity and multilayeredness have increased. It should also be mentioned here that heaven is most likely filled with very diverse life histories or even life backgrounds—two examples to underline this thought. Cornelius was zealous for God and, at the same time, commander-in-chief of the Roman army. However, this is not the so-called Saint Cornelius, Bishop of Rome, in the 3rd century AD, as the incident takes place during the lifetime of Simon Peter. A
114
contemporary who was crucified or nailed to the stake next to Jesus Christ mocked him, and in the same breath, Jesus said that he would be with him in the kingdom. In addition, the tax collectors and prostitutes were singled out as Jesus’ occupational group. Occupational groups where, on the one hand, accuracy and, on the other hand, love must be present. From this, it can be deduced that especially former people judge and not God in the first place! Furthermore, it should be noted that the highest level of leadership (12 apostles) is male and that only from the hierarchy of kings onwards, there are both male kings but also female queens. Mary, the mother of Jesus, is the most prominent lady in the royal kingdom of heaven. The fourfold punishment under God has nevertheless expanded through Jesus’ descent on earth as follows: Remembrance of the four punishments of God 1. Expulsion from Paradise 2. Ruin, suffering, old age, and death 3. He also cursed them, like a magician who punishes someone unsuccessfully. 4. The children inherit the punishments of their parents, so to speak.
115
Added punishments due to the appearance of the Messiah on earth 5. Punishments are pronounced in advance without a basis of entitlement (deed) by Jesus, -> Accompanying the increase in injustice. 6. Families and friends are deliberately divided and split by Jesus, -> Accompanying an increase in broken families and human tragedies. 7. Diseases increase massively -> Increase in suffering and death 8. Natural disasters increase massively -> Increase in suffering and death 9. Increase in acts of war -> Increase in suffering and death 10. Increase in famines of all kinds -> Increase in torture, suffering, and death. That is a hefty thing to draw these conclusions when you have done a thorough review and come to a conclusion, especially when these have been written down for everyone to see since the appearance of the new Gospel. This shows once again that the understanding of the Holy Scriptures is only possible when God adds his spirit. This means that God gives one the wisdom to draw the right conclusions.
116
Thus, it is God who has shown himself to me in an epoch-making decision and has given me the mission and the courage to expose the present lies of the religions and to bring the real truth to light! However, one point is still open, which needs to be discussed. There is still the question I raised to be answered, why is there so much prostitution if God firmly rejects it, except in individual cases? Jesus answers by saying that even prostitutes and tax collectors are more likely to enter the Kingdom of God than unbelievers, hypocrites, or Pharisees (people who pretend to serve God but do precisely the opposite). This also makes it clear how Jesus judges people. The heart and motives are decisive for Jesus in evaluating a person. The deeds are also important, but the motive is in the foreground. It can almost be summed up with the very apt English saying, “Better a dirty mind than a dirty heart”! Most prostitutes work for lack of alternatives or to provide for their families. Therefore, despite the act explicitly considered dishonourable by God, the person is to be classified as righteous in Jesus’ eyes. The individual case is, of course, decisive here. No pre-judgement can be made since many ladies also do not get the chance to develop their full potential. 117
For the sake of completeness, it should be mentioned that Jesus and also God see high taxes as robbery and fraud. While the common good must be financed, the clear view of God, and thus of Jesus as well, is that everyone is responsible for himself and should reap the fruits of their labour and not someone else. Like his father, Jesus also takes decisive action against fraud or even theft, be it wage theft. In the parable of the vineyard, however, Jesus also sees wages as part of individual agreements. This means that Jesus also approves of massive wage differentials and that it is the decision of the vineyard owner and, thus, the entrepreneur about what wage he wants to pay the workers and employees. However, it must be mentioned that this is a free limit upwards. The basis cannot be seen in exploiting people or keeping them trapped in a dubious employment relationship through cunning ways. This means that the employer deliberately takes advantage of the plight or distress of any employee. This is not in the spirit of Christ! It could also be argued that this is exactly what the parable expresses, for when the workers learn that later workers get more money for less work, they indignantly walk away. The winegrower makes it clear that he has paid
118
the wages agreed with them. There is no mention of theft or anything like that here! Moreover, Jesus instructs to heap up treasures in heaven where neither moth nor rust would consume them. Of course, on close reading, it can be assumed that other – unforeseeable – reasons could diminish these treasures. However, the bridge to the parable must be drawn here, that differences may prevail – in the judgement of the righteousness of the deeds and their reward by Jesus and God – but theft must not exist in a purely legal way when analysing the scriptures! That would be fraud, and heaven would, as it were, make itself punishable and untrustworthy! Thus, Jesus wants to make it clear that God-pleasing deeds represent a higher reward, which also cannot be taken away by fraud. It is an incentive but also a question of faith, according to which each person wants to orientate his life and which view he follows. But through this mentioned treasure in heaven, Jesus wants to encourage the believers to stand up for Jesus’ values and to apply them in their lives. He also makes this clear with the view that is decidedly opposed to that of his father, whereby he places his disciples and Christianity above the family. For Jesus, the brother or sister is thus ranked higher on a spiritual level than the 119
family blood. An affront to God and a power-political move that underpins his power at the expense of the base, the family. This also shows how brutally Jesus thinks and acts. He would also do everything like his father to maintain his power! That is a fact! In the end, with Jesus, there has been a shift of power in heaven, which has dire consequences for mankind! Much more has been written about Jesus and his views, often illustrated by parables. However, I do not wish to repeat any of this here. Instead, I focus on presenting the common thread and bringing new insights and the real truth to light. It has been clearly explained why Jesus came to earth, the exact background, why he had to die, and what has changed for humanity as a result. Furthermore, in the next chapter, I will explain Jesus’ further plan – with God’s permission – and how he will carry it out. For transparency’s sake, I would like to go into detail here about what exactly will happen when the Son of Man and thus Jesus Christ comes as an avenging angel. Still, I do not want to go into this specifically yet, because there are only two possibilities: Life or death. In the end, no one can make the judgement in advance because it is not important 120
whether one belongs to a religion, which religion one belongs to, or what nationality one has. The human being, his nature, and his deeds are decisive for the judgement by Jesus Christ and God. And in the end, there is also the question of noses, i.e., is the person sympathetic to Jesus and God? In case there should be indignation among the believers again, it should be noted here that although we are all “equal” before God (we are all human beings), we have been created in the image of God, and a natural difference in the relationship, judgement, and sympathy of each human being is also to be regarded as given to us and thus also to God. To bring new insights to light regarding behaviour in the “end time”, Luke 12:35 gives the hint where Jesus tells them to wait for him with loins girded and the light burning. God gave the same hint to the Israelites before the Exodus from Egypt. Thus, the acts of punishment by Jesus are also to be expected on an Egyptian scale. Plagues will first afflict mankind before Jesus executes his judgement! The scene “with loins girded and by burning light” symbolises the display of chastity combined with sincere actions in joyful expectation of the Lord!
121
It would be beneficial not to have any negative feelings or aversion towards God and Jesus to bring a little sweetness and amusement to the story. Furthermore, it should be noted that Jesus and his disciples or apostles (kings of the most exalted position who are also judges) lived in Judea and thus have a certain direction culturally. One can say that the pinnacle of heaven is occupied by Jews. This is just incidental information so that it is clear to everyone who is in charge in heaven. In addition, the essential personalities – if handed down – can also be briefly discussed at this point. James and John are called the sons of thunder. In the heat of the moment, when he wanted to defend Jesus, Peter immediately took up the sword and cut off the ear of the slave of the opposing entourage. From these two brief descriptions, immediate action is evident, but so is a certain fire. Heaven is clearly emotionally positioned! Emotions, therefore, play a weighty role! In the sequel, the work of the apostle Paul will be discussed, central points of his theology will be revealed, and the essential difference to the teaching of Jesus Christ will be worked out. Afterwards, I will deal specifically with the 1,000-year kingdom of Christ and the tectonic metrics of the system, 122
which will be a novelty in the history of mankind. Before concluding, I will publish a relativity theory of man. Finally, I will outline what events can be expected, especially within the next generation. Critical voices claim that Jesus wanted to win back the Jews and that his death was the fault of the Jews. These statements must be countered by the fact that Jesus’ death was a done deal from the beginning. Without the death and murder of Jesus, he would not have been able to pay the debt and liability to his father. Thus, it was clear from the outset that Jesus had to turn the Jews against him also through provocative statements. Otherwise, he could not be convicted of blasphemy and, thus, murder. The story had to end badly from the start; otherwise, Jesus was not allowed to return to heaven. Only through death could he also experience salvation! In a sense, the appearance of Jesus was thus connected with a break with Judaism and also a declaration of war on the whole of humanity, symbolised by the tearing of the curtain in the temple of Jerusalem at his death. Thus, God has taken leave of humanity and left humanity to its own devices. Jesus, with his anger and further punishments as revenge for his bestial death, incites the disaster even further! 123
On the contrary, Jesus can act later on as a defender of humankind, as his blood and death have value. Thus, Jesus can heal people and assign them different functions and positions in society.
The “Assault” on Paul and the Creation of a Third Theology After Jesus ascended into heaven, he handed over the sceptre on earth to Peter, who was to take over the leadership on earth. What follows is a building up of Christianity, but this is brutally crushed in the bud by the Romans. Peter is imprisoned, and the Christians are thrown in front of wild animals in the Colosseum. There are killings and murders. Not yet enthroned as King of Kings, Jesus realises in heaven that his theses and new theological foundation based on his teachings are not successfully accepted. What is the reason for this? Probably practicability or convenience. Inferentially, however, we can rather assume the first reason since the Romans during this early phase of Christianity were famous for their oppression and power, with Jesus’ values not really finding favour. Thus one also places oneself in a position of weakness. Not using violence and, unlike in the time of his father, YHWH, also not 124
actively defending oneself, one is, in a sense, fair game under Jesus’ theology. For many freedom-loving people, this is an affront or even incompatible. This reveals yet another restriction of Christ, which includes the restriction of freedom. Moreover, under the political Roman Empire, the position of neutrality was to be adopted. This is another central point why Jesus’ theology is not successfully accepted. For the Jews (as well as other peoples who suffered under the occupation of the Romans), full of anger and resentment at the occupation of the Romans, it is an additional affront that this fact is now to be endured and accepted unconditionally. We see that the chain of punishment has now grown to twelve points. No theological foundation to win new fans or even followers. So now we need a new theology that does not counteract the whole theory of Jesus but expands it and makes it palatable differently. It is like a dish that a new cook is asked to recreate, where he is not allowed to change the basic recipe of the dish but is expected to use new flavours and spices so that the dish appeals to a broader base.
125
The assault on Paul is the act of convincing the new cook and gaining a broader base. There is also a greater precision to be observed in Paul’s teaching or even theology, as he returns to clear words and clear boundaries, thus also narrowing down the complexity, but thus also setting clear rules that do not need interpretation. But let us first shed light on the selection of the person and establish why exactly Jesus Christ “ambushed” him. There are analogies to be observed with the calling of Moses as the leader of the people of Israel. Like Moses, Paul was highly educated and active in the stronghold of ancient society at the respective schools or even universities. Moses was endowed with the best education in the world in the form of the empire of Egypt. Paul was a very zealous man, a man of action, so to speak. Moses was also a man of action who was not only an extra but was active at the decisive moments and, at that time, full of rage, murdered a slave overseer as an act of defence. Consequently, it was aid, as the overseer was on the verge of carrying out a death blow. In addition, Paul was a man like Moses, who already had basic experience but was still young and thus between the ages of 30 and 45. The fourth similarity was that the customs of the better society of that time were present, and both knew exactly how 126
the elite class of their respective lands ticked (thought and acted). The fifth similarity was that both had the characteristics and attitude of a One Man Show! They were mentally strong, intelligent, cold-blooded, physically strong, and resilient. Power players are what we would call them today, i.e. people who are not afraid to execute things ice-cold within the legal framework. So much for the question: Whom do God and Jesus seek and call to extraordinary positions? The answer is given now! In Paul’s case, the fact that he violently persecuted Christians was not a deterrent for Jesus but rather even more of a reason to tie down the “hellhound” Paul and get him on his side, even if by force. And this is what happened! Paul went on his way, and probably full of thoughts, Christ met him. “Why do you persecute me?” are his words. The appearance of Christ was so full of power that Paul had no choice but to “lay down his arms” and go over to Christ. It must also be concluded that human beings, in general, can do nothing one on one against spirit beings – especially when the Son of God shows up. We remember the incident when the demons cried out in fear when they saw Jesus. This shows that Jesus can be quite 127
different, and insiders are in awe of him, knowing what he is capable of when things do not go his way. Paul was also an opinionated man, for he was also a proponent of stoning Christians to death. So, like Moses, we are talking about a murderer here. An example is King David in the Old Testament, whom God taught and instructed to kill Goliath in battle! Thus, Paul fitted perfectly into the pattern of God and Jesus and was their man who also represented God and Jesus on earth with the third theology and the preaching of the Word of God. A highly demanding position that requires a lot from a man. Paul mastered the task with bravura because, like Moses, he also had to endure – during his ministry – the punishment of heaven for his former life, so Paul suffered shipwrecks several times, had to starve and went through a personal journey to hell. Moses also went through this when he fled Egypt. God acted on him with his powers and purified Moses. Paul, focused and as if out of his mind – equipped with the spirit and the power of God – set to work and let himself be guided by the spirit. In modern German, we would also
128
call it vibes. Where are the vibes best? It must be mentioned here that sometimes there can also be battles in which two spirits fight against each other. In this way, it becomes clear that different opinions can also prevail in the spiritual realm. This was also the case with Paul when he was undecided in which direction to continue his journey. Only after some time did it become clear to him that he should go to Macedonia. This shows that differences of opinion in the spiritual realm – also and especially between YHWH and Jesus – can very well occur and that these are not obvious to the respective person at first sight. What is the will of God? What is the will of Jesus? Which thought comes from whom? Which guidance is the leading view? From personal experience, I can say that the Bible verse, God’s thoughts and deeds are more sublime than those of man or other spirit beings. With God, leadership does involve suffering, but the result is never a suffering act. God does not want a secondclass outcome for the particular individual He is leading. Here, of course, the context and appropriateness, the setting and limitations of the individual must always be considered. When God acts, He also wants to be glorified through His actions, and His actions must radiate holiness. Therefore, not everyone can represent God, and God cannot work directly 129
in everyone’s life. As with the angels, a certain glory is a basic prerequisite for God to work in life at all. This glory must be of a physical and psychological nature. As in the Old Testament examples, people chosen by God dominated the competition and were miles ahead of it. One Man Show potential! God is also a One Man Show! Birds of a feather flock together! The grovelling and keeping small by order of Christ is also a politically motivated act of deliberately making people weak and ridiculous so that God will not touch them, and Jesus can thus further expand his scope of power on earth. In reality, Jesus thinks and acts similarly to his Father. He is a power man through and through. For representation, he prefers to get someone with whom he identifies personally and character-wise, and through whom, thus, the glory and also the winning mentality is represented. Paul thus fits character-wise into the leadership of heaven. He is baptised after the assault of the Christ because he loses sight in the assault, which he only regains after baptism. It is thus a baptism that he must undertake, for Christ leaves him no other option but to be baptised.
130
Paul then undertakes three missionary journeys, where he establishes the so-called Christian assembly on the basis of Jesus Christ and proselytises people from Judaism or other religions or views of Christianity. He praises the Messiah as the redeemer and the way of salvation, which, strictly speaking, he also is at first sight. God has handed over the helm to Jesus. However, every person is free to submit to Christ or not. However, Jesus is a person who, through the powerful Spirit, moves people to serve him indirectly or directly. It is sometimes not a question of whether one wants to or not. Jesus Christ moves people to do so. It should be noted that even in modern times, terrorists like those of Boko Haram are now converting to Christianity because they feel – magically – moved to do so. But there are also isolated persons for whom God still works. In the end, God works with everyone, not directly with all of them, but via detours through Jesus Christ, the apostles or other angels. What, then, are the central theses or the central theology of Paul? It is rather about the fundamental and everyday questions of life, which should not be underestimated because these form the basis of life. Above all, the subject of relationships, marriage and a relationship between a man and woman is 131
virtually prescribed to prevent immorality (premarital sexual relations). Thus, Paul advises all who cannot restrain themselves to seek a wife or husband as soon as possible, so as not to succumb to temptation in the first place. Thus, the subject of love, partnership and sex is to be kept within the context of marriage but as a high priority so that the lives of individuals remain orderly. It has been proven that in the context of partnerships, more sensible decisions about life are often made. In the long run, single people often lead lives that are in line with God’s values but have nothing to do with the honour and glory of God. These include precarious living conditions, living with other men for a purpose or living a playboy life at the highest level. The latter is permissible in God’s eyes in the rarest of cases (cf. King Solomon), but not the rule and applies in the rarest of human cases. The wife should be concerned about the man’s welfare and not put on undue heirs. This does not mean the woman must not look beautiful or be stylishly dressed. It is rather that not all the attention should be on the woman and her appearance, thus neglecting issues within the marriage or family issues. There are still sins for which it is impossible to find one’s way back to Christ without profound repentance. These 132
include:
Fornication,
whoredom,
idolatry,
adultery,
homosexuality, theft, robbery, covetousness, alcoholism and slander. According to tradition, anyone who acts in this shameful way is not acting in accordance with Jesus Christ and God. One cannot enter God’s kingdom and inherit the requirement of Jesus, the compensation of the obligation. Therefore, it means that whoever does what is written above or who finds it difficult not to do these deeds better not become a Christian and enjoy his life and should not give it a second thought. On closer analysis, however, it becomes clear again that a
lack
of
partnership
or
marriage
favours
the
abovementioned points. Those who are single drink more often and go to parties more often. Those who are single focus their lives even more on their career since they have no reason to be at home on time. Single people usually watch porn more often or have fun with different partners more often. Single people go out more frequently with their clique, where they enjoy themselves in the best sarcasm. Single people also go to a concubine or prostitute for fun. We thus see that a life in harmony with Christ as a single person honestly makes no sense and is only burdened with problems from the outset. The church, of course, sees it 133
differently since offspring are of central importance. The church tax or the donations of the next generation have to be paid. It also crystallises a hypocrisy and, thus, dishonesty of the priestly class, which interprets the Word of God for its own benefit and focuses on maintaining power and not on the teaching of God’s Word. In the end, it is all about power and money! If you read the scriptures carefully, you will find that all kinds of traps or snares are hidden, which makes it impossible to live a joyful life while keeping all the laws and regulations. That is why Revelation, the last chapter of the Bible, speaks of the opponents of the kingdom being like sand on the seashore in terms of their numbers.
134
If we take a look at this beach to be able to interpret the figurative language of the prophecy, we notice that there is not much on a beach by the sea except sand. This means that probably no one will be a supporter of the (spiritual) kingdom in the end until the light makes the truth fully visible. Why is that? Because we are only a play, it was probably never the thought of God and Christ to permanently establish a parallel world opposite heaven. We are only the theatre, the plaything, the pastime of heaven!
135
Therefore, I do not want to elaborate further on the subject and the further views of the apostle Paul because what has already been said is, for me, the central theology, including the idea of the third theology. The further explanations coincide with the other explanations in the Bible and are not central further developments compared to the theology of God or Jesus Christ! As mentioned at the beginning, the family is the basis of life. In the chapter on the New Testament, I had written that Jesus Christ placed Christianity above the family. Therefore, a revision or weakening has also occurred with Paul, with the family and procreation again being given a stronger weight. God has partially restricted the Jesual way of harnessing to the plough. In this way, Paul has corrected the element in Jesus’ theology, which has soured God. In the following chapter, I would like to discuss the 1,000-year kingdom of Jesus Christ and subsequently explain the tectonic metrics of the system of things, which is an analysis of the modern era.
136
The 1,000-Year Kingdom of Christ The 1,000-year kingdom of the Christ has often been mentioned, but what is its significance for humanity? To answer this question and show that the 1,000-year kingdom of Christ is already reigning, I would like to go a little further. In order to answer the question “Why are there so many prostitutes at present?”, it is necessary to mention the incident when Jesus was a guest at a friend’s house for a meal. There was also a prostitute present who wetted the feet of Christ with her hair. Blasting the fierce indignations of his entourage, he replied in a definite tone, “Her many sins are forgiven, for she loved much; but to whom little is forgiven, little is loved.” Moreover, in another incident, Jesus said, “The publicans and harlots enter the kingdom of God sooner than you.” Thus, it becomes quite clear that through love, a great deal is forgiven in everyday life. Hiddenly, Jesus also implies that sexual relationships are very important and that it is advantageous to maintain a partnership.
137
On the other hand, the church almost preaches that sexuality comes from the devil and is a sin. This is blasphemy in its highest form! They thereby deny the creative works of God and the masterly execution of His Son, Jesus Christ! Furthermore, it is quite clear that Jesus does not condemn the oldest trade in the world, like his father. Thus, there is also a decisive difference here. However, a very clear aspect of love is recognisable, and thus, love is the motor and the basis for the forgiveness of sins, but also the added value that we bring as human beings. Through love comes joy, not only for us humans but also for heaven. Since it is the kingdom of Christ, it is primarily – except in exceptional cases – who determines who is also to belong to this kingdom. Moreover, Jesus, as the supreme ruler, sets the rules unless God interferes with him. This often happens because, in the end, God does not want Jesus to complete the 1,000-year reign successfully. Why is that? God, of course, wants him to be an excellent leader with all his wisdom peppered throughout, and therefore, politically, the 1,000-year reign of Christ must be a “failure” so that God comes out the “winner”. In the end, it is all about “power”. Moreover, this is perhaps also the primary element 138
of the rationale. It is also about how God, as the founder of the earth, wants to see his earth, the world and people. In the Old Testament, it is often read that God delights in beautiful things and is actually a God of joy and the arts. The martial elements are also part of the personality of God. While these are the counterbalance to joy, they also serve to show clear boundaries. It must be added that Jesus’ task during his ministry was and is to bring God closer to people. Jesus is the help or also assistance. It is his task to bring humanity closer to God’s values and back to God. This, of course, comes at a cost. Thus, Jesus Christ had to pay a high price for it, whereby God, in turn, rewarded him with an elevated position, for which we humans also pay the price in turn. I explained these costs in the chapter on the new gospel. For example, before the Kingdom of God, people did not have to wear glasses. As already indicated, illnesses or limitations are a punishment of Christ; he has to be more active and probably has a lot of work to do in heaven. But rather, let us now turn to the question: When did the Messianic Kingdom start? The 1,000-year kingdom mentioned by Jesus Christ refers to a heavenly reign according to the diagram on p. 18. Jesus Christ as the King of Kings. Only the ruler Satan or 139
Iblis will be replaced as King of Kings for the 1,000 years during Jesus’ reign. There is thus a vacancy as the new Satan or CEO in heaven. Applications are not accepted. The job is offered to one. Just like Moses or the apostle Paul, one is called to it. However, with the enthronement, the power has also changed. For Christ has now officially taken the unofficial second place from Satan. Did the transfer of power take place peacefully? No, not at all! Revelation tells us that war broke out in heaven, and the archangel Michael and his angels fought against the primeval serpent, Satan or Iblis, the devil. The result was a fierce power struggle in which Jesus Christ threw the devil down to earth. So did his comradesin-arms. This means that since the enthronement of Christ, which therefore could only take place after the heavenly war, Satan, supported by his comrades-in-arms, has been working in the realm of the earth as an invisible spirit being. However, it is written in the Bible that Satan and his comrades-in-arms are in a somewhat immobilised or harmless state in Tartarus. But when did this heavenly war take place?
140
Since the Bible clearly mentions that God YHWH stewed Jesus after his death and Jesus had to wait a long time for his enthronement, so to speak, until God prepared the enemies for him as a footstool, there is a clear temporal distance from Jesus’ death to his work in heaven. We must therefore approach the subject from a different angle. When was there a war so fierce that it exceeded the scale of all previous wars? The answer is simple: World War I and II! As is well known, this resulted in unprecedented destruction, plus the fact that almost the entire world was involved. Consequently, the main protagonists (countries) were always the same, which cannot be coincidental. Because nothing happens by chance, there must always be some act so that something happens. Accordingly, Germany, Great Britain, France, Russia and the United States of America are central actors under the rule of Christ. Otherwise, these would not be the same actors/main players in the war twice. But can what has been said be verified? Yes, because Jesus communicates during his presence on earth when exactly his deeds will have an effect. There will
141
be an increase in natural disasters, diseases and plagues, and wars will also break out. In the period 1914-1919, there was World War I and the devouring Spanish flu. Both events were many times deadlier than the Corona pandemic. Moreover, official measurements that “surprise, surprise” factually prove that there has been an exponential increase in natural disasters and diseases since 1914. However, this increase ebbs away again and remains high (compared to the base year 1900). Only in 1945, and thus after World War I and II, does the line remain at a very high level (compared to the base year 1900) and reach new heights after the 1960s. From this, it can be deduced that the war described in Revelation began in 1914. The war was fierce, brutal and also protracted. It must be assumed that World War II was a follow-up war – as it was on earth – to World War I. Accordingly, an official enthronement and proper policy of Christ were and are in 1945-1949, where several events on earth also reflect this. Elementary and trend-setting events are the founding Of the United Nations, Of NATO, But also the recognition of the State of Israel.
142
These are all elements of order on the part of heaven. In addition, natural disasters increased significantly from 1945 onwards and reached new, unimagined heights and damage in the following years. It is somewhat more difficult to make a verified statement on the subject of diseases since in the past – also due to the lack of hygiene – there were many diseases and epidemics, especially in the Middle Ages. However, it must be said that the high number of mental illnesses or psychological suffering did not exist to the same extent in the past. It is no secret that since the recognition and treatment of mental problems, the corresponding health institutions have reported new records. This is also a consequence of the warlike conflicts(cf. p. 55, Punishments of Jesus Christ on this), which are only recognisable as warlike actions at second glance. Everything happened as a consequence of the ongoing war from 1945 to 1949. Accordingly, it must be concluded that the enthronement must have taken place in 1945 – after the war. I want to support this view with another argument and proof. It is written in the Bible that even the greatest blasphemer may live 100 years in the Kingdom of Christ. So not just a mere existence, but a quality life! God speaks in 143
the Bible about life being sacred. So, an extremely important good to him YHWH. Since blasphemous language, deeds and behaviour are currently practised in high numbers. The prophesied cut has not yet occurred. Therefore, it can be concluded that the Kingdom of Christ has not yet reigned for 100 years. Moreover, it is also the task of Christ to find a new spiritual Israel and thus to prepare and form an international people consisting of all languages and nations for God. God has, therefore, not changed. He still wants to lead and guide a special group of people as his own. This is primarily to show the glory of God, but also his power. Matthew 10:14 underlines this idea insofar as even Jesus is prepared to wage war against a house unless it accepts or listens to his and, thus, God’s charges. Jesus even speaks of the fact that they will fare worse than Sodom and Gomorrah at that time – cities on which heaven then judged with fire and brimstone. The cut – or also described as the Last Judgement in the Bible – is a cleansing of the earth of these people who offend God in word and deed. Insulting Jesus Christ is also a dangerous matter because, on the one hand, it must be made clear once again that Jesus Christ is an independent spirit being who also has an independent personality. He communicates in the Bible that everyone must answer for 144
every word against the Son of Man (Jesus Christ). Thus, swear words referring to God and Jesus Christ should be refrained from now on, as it could be dangerous for the respective persons. Heaven usually takes its revenge very cruelly! God equates blasphemy to murder and, in the Old Testament, provided for stoning as an appropriate punishment. How Jesus punishes blasphemy against him is not handed down, but it can be strongly assumed that diseases also play a major role here. For example, I observed that a certain person had positioned himself clearly and disparagingly towards Jesus Christ. “Strangely enough”, the person was already struggling with menopausal problems in the region of the age of 40—a harsh sentence. I would advise those involved never to mess with God or Jesus Christ! But there are also legitimate reasons to enter into a certain dispute with God and Jesus from the human side if it is based on a factually sound basis. In other words, there is an imbalance which does not primarily originate from the person in question. The Old Testament also mentions an incident when Isaac wrestles with an angel for God’s blessing so that he receives a deservedly higher status with God. 145
God recognises his fighting performance and rewards him! We see that God appreciates and rewards stringent action and a clear positioning and thus also revises certain decisions or even decides in favour of persons! However, it is not for us, the people, to speak derogatorily or against God, Jesus Christ and the order established by the two! Anything against this would be tantamount to rebellion. The best way is to come to terms with the two most powerful spirit persons and find a common path. For all Jesus haters, it should be noted that without Jesus, God would probably have reduced the earth and humanity to rubble before now. According to the English aftermath, one can call the time “injury time” and see it as an add-on. Moreover, if the arc is stretched wider, without Jesus, there would also be no return to perfection (more on this later). Furthermore, without Jesus, we would not be living in this modern world! That is a fact! Since, for God, YHWH, prostitution is blasphemy in its purest form, this industry can be advised to consider an exit plan by the year 2045. In the past, God even wanted to wipe out an entire city (Nineveh) because prostitution had become rampant. As a messenger of God, Jonah was able to warn the
146
city just in time. In the case of Sodom and Gomorrah, in any case, it was too late. Furthermore, since God has indicated that he will destroy those who destroy the earth, a more consistent stance on this issue is evident here. By adopting the Paris Climate Agreement at the EU level by the year 2050, the government of Jesus Christ is proactive here, and it is most evident that achieving the goal is a top priority. Germany wants to achieve the goal of climate neutrality as early as 2045. This goal should be achieved as early as 2040, if possible, in order to be sure of reaching the 2045 target. Since God is a being who is very precise, it can be assumed that YHWH takes the 100 years literally, and therefore a hard cut will be made in 2045. In the Bible, it was written down in the new gospel that future decisions concerning the Christian congregation have already been made in heaven. Jesus said this to Simon Peter shortly before his death as a man on earth. From this, it can be concluded that decisions made on earth have already been made in heaven. This also clearly shows the background of the Ukraine war. It is a war of YHWH, who uses Russia – as often in the Old Testament, where God uses other nations to wage war 147
on a people – to eradicate the above-mentioned deeds in Ukraine and establish a sustainable way of life. The reader will now ask, why Ukraine, of all places and not some other countries? It is a thorn in the side of God, YHWH, that some Ukrainian women even jet off to Israel and commit fornication with the men living there. Deuteronomy 23:18 clearly mentions that his people – that is, the people of Israel and spiritual Israel, that is, all people who have consciously surrendered to God and have been baptised and are therefore Christians – are not allowed to consort with prostitutes (that also means, strictly speaking, not even to spend leisure time with them). God speaks of it as an abomination to him! I do not want to hurt or belittle anyone by what I have said. However, it is the right to point out facts clearly and factually. In addition, the analytical foreground is given in my method of presentation. What are the effects of the deeds? I have given the theological basis for this. There is a clear theological 1:1 relationship between a behaviour X and an effect Y. Despite the transgression of the people of Israel through the death of Jesus Christ, God made an irrevocable covenant with Abraham. Whoever unlawfully comes within the scope of God and attacks his people (even if only on a moral level) 148
feels the effects somewhat more violently. In Samson’s example, the Philistines’ attack was also on a moral level. This reason was sufficient for God to send his miracle boy Samson, who murdered several Philistines. It should be noted that a psychological attack can be just as dangerous as a physical attack. It is extremely important to follow this, for I would like to note again that worship is and would be futile if such acts were committed. All the churches, services and prayers are therefore futile and thus worthless to God! Why, then, does God punish not the individuals but a whole people? There are two reasons for this. 1. Because of our imperfections, we humans tend to do bad things anyway. Most of the time, one individual person could not bear the punishment at all, or it would mean the end of that person’s life. God wants us, humans, to stand together as a community. This means that bad deeds can have individual effects on the whole of society. It is not that individuals can cower away and say, “I am righteous after all; I keep all the laws and commandments!” It is not that simple. Everything is connected. Life is far too complex for individuals to think that they are actually righteous. The Bible confirms this by 149
stating that there is no righteous person under the sun. There is blood on all our hands—even the poor granny who just sits at home and reads and does nothing evil. In the end, she buys a garment manufactured in Bangladesh under inhumane conditions, possibly even causing the deaths of workers. This is just a small practical example. 2. Furthermore, it must be clearly shown here once again that – according to the canon of values in the Bible – the head also always bears responsibility for the subordinates. This means that one is, to a certain extent, accountable to God and Jesus Christ. Accordingly, the husband is responsible for the wife/partner and family. The superior is responsible for his team. The employed Managing Director is responsible for the company, the company's success, the employee, and the law's observance. Jesus Christ is therefore responsible before God for the earth including all people, and thus also for the success of the earth, the people and the observance of the laws that come from God! In the case of Ukraine, unfortunately, despite and perhaps because of the great religiosity and profession of Christianity, the act of prostitution in connection with the proximity to Israel is a triple affront.
150
First, hypocrisy, pretending to love God and Jesus Christ and then betraying God with such acts. Second, morally attacking his people in Israel as a result of prostitution. Thirdly, the degradation of God-given gifts and thus also an open affront to God. We must never forget that God and Jesus Christ have feelings and very strong feelings at that. These are many times stronger than those of human beings. Out of love for the Ukrainian people, I can only advise that these actions be stopped immediately, as I am firmly convinced that this is and was the trigger for the war. It would not be expedient to conceal this or to sweep these events under the carpet! The truth must come to light, however cruel it may be. Only in this way can sustainable development for the good take place! At this point, it should be mentioned why spiritual leaders are not doing their job! It would be their task to admonish the people, show them both the spiritual and moral values, and thus defend God and Jesus Christ! We must also remember that it is written in the Bible that it is not for any man to direct even one of his own steps. This means that the spiritual realm intervenes very strongly in our lives and also influences the actions, especially of highranking persons. 151
This war clearly bears God’s signature, for the barbaric rapes of the Russian army are part of the divine war chest that he also reveals in the Old Testament (cf. also my previous comments in the book). Furthermore, God already used Russia in World War II to fight back the German military. More on this point later. He is thus correcting his son Jesus Christ in this case, too! Despite the brutality, the example of Absalom I have shown conveys that sudden war stops and averts further suffering. Furthermore, it should be noted that the present legal and paid permanent rapes by the Middle East's “elite" are perhaps not in the sense of God. For instance, one could read in the German edition of a well-known international “Fashion & Entertainment” magazine a few years ago that a sadistic rape has a price of 30,000 euros. Those who think such a thing is normal can learn similar occurrences in Judges 19. (I only want to emphasise that such actions already existed at that time and that biblically they are not broken down as to who is really behind the deeds.) The offer thus corresponds to the annual net wage of an upper-class employee on a Western European level for one
152
night in hell with all the mental wounds – an inhuman offer that is unparalleled! This also shows the absurdity that Germany’s energy policy of developing alternative gas jellies in the Middle East is now further flushing money into the coffers of the perpetrators. Even without the additional windfall, the 30,000 euros mentioned above are peanuts for the class mentioned. Therefore, God is pursuing the long-term strategy of shorting and eroding the water, i.e. the supply. The warfare of draining important strategic points still holds. However, at the same time, in return – as absurd as it may sound – the opportunity is given to establish a sustainable turnaround that the people deserve. Ukraine should concentrate on its human strengths and find a way out of this vicious circle through skilful action. Taking decisive action against labour exploitation and raising wages could be the first step. In addition, reforming the judiciary and eradicating corruption is also always a step towards a more open society that can engage more intensively in value creation and thus achieve growth for all. Beauty and grace come from God, so this good should also be cherished!
153
It should be noted here that I am a great fan of the Ukrainian people and consider a rapprochement of Ukraine with the West as the best way to develop the country. We thus see that God does not put up with everything and still intervenes decisively and with the necessary regulatory force. When God acts, it is always violently and sometimes bestially! God wants to get to the root of the problem with the war and achieve a higher standard for the country and its people by rebuilding Ukraine. In addition, the end of the abovementioned business activities is to be achieved. Thus, we also see that since the Corona pandemic, God has begun to systematically wage war against humanity! This war will be long and destructive! The price is also paid by Europe, where commerce is flourishing, and costs (in the sense of God) have to be placed. We thus also learn that the actions of a few highranking people can significantly influence the lives of many people – of the hierarchies below. Moreover, it can be deduced that God has now put on the agenda to address the issue of prostitution in general. I would not be surprised if more warlike elements become visible in the near future and God spreads his campaign!
154
Once Christ or one of the twelve judges makes a “mistake”, things get violent! We thus also learn that even Christ, Jesus, God’s only begotten son, can be “fallible” – in the eyes of God, mind you. From this, it can be deduced that only God has all imaginable wisdom. He also expresses this when he writes that he gives his glory to no one! Probably out of self-protection, but also connected with the thought: Who would want anyone to be exactly the same as oneself? No one! Just as every snowflake or star – billions in number, which God calls individually by name – are different, so are angels and people. The 1,000-year kingdom of Christ is already reigning! It will last 1,000 years! And thus, probably, even most probably, the year 2945 is the end of the Kingdom under Jesus Christ! Also, an indication that God honestly prefers a government with Satan, who has already been allowed to rule with God for over 5,000 years.
155
The trio of God, Satan and Jesus endure, even if Satan remains on earth for 1,000 years in Tartarus, i.e. in a harmless state, and thus cannot be – as claimed by almost all churches – a real opponent of Jesus Christ during this time. The Bible also speaks of the ancient serpent – fleeing from the water (and thus from Jesus Christ and his army) – having crawled and hidden on earth. Therefore, the saying “The devil flees from the holy water” is a derivation of the above-mentioned Bible verse and is true to a certain extent. Thus, it is clear that Luke 12 applies and that Jesus Christ alone – as already clearly communicated by him – brings war to mankind. Until the year 2045, we must therefore prepare ourselves for the time being for a spiral of violence and a future increase in suffering. Why until the year 2045? Because in the first 100 years of the kingdom, blasphemers are allowed to dwell among us, and they cause considerable harm to the general public, as already explained. To repeat, here is the list of suffering caused by Christ again: 1. Diseases 2. Wars
156
3. Famines (analogous to Maslow’s pyramid of needs 1, thus not only related to bread and water) 4. Divisions in society 5. Broken families 6. Decay of morals 7. Coldness of love According to the Bible, at least five events happened during the phase of the end times or the Last Judgement, i.e., when God has mankind judged by his son Jesus Christ. 1. God will divide the world into goats and sheep. A pre-selection has already taken place. The world will be divided into two power blocs, where different values will be propagated and lived. An additional selection will be made within this value construct. 2. The Anglo-American world power will be the last world power of human existence. The Corona pandemic has put the brakes on China’s dominance. But beware: cheaper energy supplies from Russia in the future will create a boomerang effect that can decisively fuel growth in the coming years. However, a shift away from globalisation can be observed, which is also in God’s interest in the long term. God, as already explained, is a supporter of local borders and an opponent of the mixing
157
of peoples for reasons already explained. In addition, globalisation and the excesses associated with it are reminiscent of the Tower of Babel, whose plan God solved, bloodlessly, by confusing the language. Thus the project had to be called off. Accordingly, it can also be deduced that success comes from God and is a gift from God. 3. The third event will most probably be a follow-up event of this book. The world empire of false religion, together with its religious leaders, will be crushed. The Bible goes on to say in Revelation 17 that a judgement execution is to be expected. 4. There will be a great famine on earth. Here, I refer to the apocalyptic horsemen, which are also very well-known through the printed work of Albrecht Dürer in the 16th century. Revelation 6 speaks of the third horse of the apocalyptic horsemen bringing hunger and a very high rate of inflation in terms of food and wheat. It speaks of one measure costing one denarius and three measures of barley costing one denarius. In the past, the denarius was the daily wage of a common labourer/employee. Accordingly, it can be assumed that the crisis over the granary of Russia and Ukraine will come to a head, as biblical prophecy has never been fallible.
158
5. A very dominant player will become apparent on earth. Revelation 13:17 speaks of there being a mark that will determine whether someone can buy or sell something. This prophecy, like the one mentioned before, seems to be coming true right before our eyes, even if hidden. The quasimonopolist Google is currently testing whether shops would already be willing to pay 50 dollars a month to receive a small green tick via the Google Maps app, thus indicating to the user that Google has verified the user. Thus the customer can buy without hesitation. Therefore, a mark is crystallising without which commerce cannot be done successfully in the future. This is not meant to be a call to smash Google, only an indication of the fulfilment of this prophecy. We are in the final phase, so to speak, the closing act of the chapter of the first 100 years of the reign under Jesus Christ. Moreover, prophecies of the last Bible book of Revelation are being fulfilled before our eyes. “For God has not the least pleasure that even an unrighteous man should meet his death,” is a saying of God, saying that it gives him no pleasure to have to look upon misfortune, suffering and death from heaven. Jesus’s act of redeeming humanity from sin and death with his bestial death and leading it to perfection washed 159
God’s intention clean and thus made up for the mistake in the Garden of Eden. The goal was to carry out the will of God so that humanity could live in perfection on earth without ageing. In the future, it will come down to a stronger dichotomy for the individual, which in turn depends on his selfpositioning: Pro God or contra-God. Thus, the work is intended to preserve life, especially the quality of life. The focus is to be directed to the important things in life to generate more free space for partnership, family and friends. In addition, it is a concern or added value that everyone contributes to the positive creation of value in society. Thus the burden can also be taken off the high achievers. For the sake of completeness, it should be mentioned that there is also a prophecy, including encryption, in the Bible that allows a mathematically correct calculation for the beginning of the work of Christ. However – the devil is proverbially in the detail – usually, the transfer of power and the enthronement after a war is properly done. The light of truth shines brighter according to the biblical transmission, and thus the unbelievers, but also the believers and those who, for certain reasons, cannot find their way to
160
God or do not want to yet, can revise (thinking and acting). Transparency also creates a basis for a decision. In conclusion, it should be mentioned again that it is the task of Christ to lead humanity to perfection during the 1,000 years and to point to God. This also means that in the course of the timeline from today to the year 2945, things must also go uphill. For the final goal is clearly fixed by God. By the end time of the 1,000-year kingdom of Jesus Christ, the world must be in a paradise-like state. This includes the quality of man. The quality of man hereby refers to the degeneration process already mentioned in the book, which can be reversed with the blood of Jesus Christ. My assumption, however, is that this will only be the case once the first 100 years of the kingdom are over and only then will the behaviour of mankind come closer to the values of Jesus Christ and God again. Only then will God and Jesus Christ give man more attention, ability and success. “Only he who does the will of my father shall inherit the kingdom.” Jesus communicated that the will of God, YHWH, comes first. Christianity is a kind of help or support in this. It also means that only those who do the will of God will inherit, i.e. receive, the excellent works of the kingdom. However, anyone who seriously wants to get to know God, YHWH, must use the Old Testament as the basis of 161
their actions. The Old Testament gives an insight into the personality of God. Both the New Gospel and the apostle Paul's teaching serve as support here. All Scripture is useful for teaching, rebuking and setting things right. Therefore, it is only a logical step to reform Christianity to present God’s way as the leading view and to present the complete pure doctrine.
162
Tectonic Metrics of the System of Things The tectonic metrics of the world or the system of things have been fundamentally changed by the two world wars in the first half of the 20th century. I have gone into the reasons for this. This also makes it clear that the persecution of the Jews during the Nazi era was an act of heaven. When I wrote the lines on this at the pool, the night after, I had a dream sent by God that confirmed me in this view! In this dream, I saw three persons. I saw a father, a son, and an uncle. The father looks at the son. The son looks at the uncle. When the uncle is beaten, he comes towards the son wearing a Nazi uniform. Who is the father, the son, and the uncle? Typical of prophetic dreams with God is that the interpretation of the dream can only ever be deduced with context and his wisdom. When I woke up, I heard a voice whispering afterwards that told me the interpretation of the dream. The son is me, the uncle is Jesus Christ, and the father is God. Through the bestial death and the mockery of Jesus by the Jews, who had not accepted him, a certain rage built up
163
in Jesus Christ. This anger was further fuelled when, after his death, he had to have his theology corrected by the apostle Paul and, to top it all off, had to wait almost 2,000 years to receive the reward of his death, the royal regency. Enough time to devise an extensive plan of revenge. Adolf Hitler’s success and survival of all the assassination attempts were no accident! He definitely had the protection from above! It is particularly interesting to note that in two key events of the World War, God even intervened to prevent the Nazi regime from achieving final victory. 1. Dunkirk: The British force was trapped. Due to Adolf Hitler’s confusion and despondency at that moment, the chance to deal a decisive blow, perhaps a crushing blow, to the British Army had evaporated. Courage comes from God; likewise, confusion is a war strategy from God. 2. Eastern Front: When the German army conquers Russia, the weather turns at a critical point in the war, so the German army cannot advance as quickly in the mud. In addition, the weather turns during crucial supply flights, so visibility is blocked, and the Luftwaffe’s flights thus fail to deliver the promised success. These were the two moments when God heralded the end of the Nazi regime. In the first case, a precautionary measure
164
to maintain the enemy’s strength. In the second the initiation of a bestial downfall. Adolf Hitler had the idea and the concept of a 1,000-year Reich. Now we know from whom the idea came. Adolf Hitler was thus the human executive of Jesus Christ. He was to implement the ideas of Jesus Christ, and Berlin was to become the center of the new 1,000-year Reich under Jesus Christ. That this did not happen was “thanks” to God’s intervention. However, we must not forget that Jesus Christ is the second most powerful spirit being in the universe! His wisdom is not to be underestimated, as only God is superior to him. Adolf Hitler’s dream of merging Germany with the East is also due to a cultural basis, as it has been proven over the decades that the cultural understanding of values is similar, and a merger would also bring stability. Now, in late 2022, there is evidence of what can come out when not having a reunited West Europe with East Europe. Moreover, an interesting detail is hidden in the strategy—the annexation of Northern France. Cultural experts will know that France is culturally divided, similar to Germany. However, in France, this contrast is so extreme that the South of France 165
shares cultural values more with Southern Europe, and the North is more Western European. Accordingly, Hitler knew very well that an invasion of the South of France would make no sense in terms of his overall strategy. Anyone who thinks that Hitler was stupid is seriously mistaken! Hitler’s full war strategy could only be understood with the mind of God. From this, you can see that the whole construct was a work of heaven. It should also be noted that world powers of the past were particularly conspicuous for being cursed by God. This means that the respective world powers have never again attained the splendour or anything like the splendour of the past. Germany is the only example where the power and position of the country were maintained and regained despite the war of annihilation. To illustrate this, there will also be some radical changes in the near future. Jesus will make a second attempt to push through his project. The Ukraine war will also play a major role in this, as it will drive the country strongly ideologically towards Europe. Germany should play a decisive role in the construction as well as the integration of the country. Accordingly, a united Europe will exist up to the Ukrainian border, although this struggle will not be easy.
166
However, God will also intervene and impose his values. We are, therefore, in a multi-dimensional war since there are also renegade or turned-away angels who pursue their own interests. Thus, in general, a four-dimensional war can be assumed in our present time. 1. God
and
his
comrades-in-arms
(Cherubim
and
Seraphim). 2. Jesus Christ and his comrades-in-arms (144,000 kings and some angels). 3. Satan and his comrades-in-arms (operating in the earthly realm). 4. Splinter group in heaven, which pursues its own interests. So, the next period will be very intense as God wants to turn back the achievement of Christ. Globalisation. God is a proponent of clear boundaries, writing in the Old Testament that boundary markers are not to be moved. Jesus, on the other hand, is open to change and, according to the parable of the vinedresser, is also prepared to call for a disproportionate wage as long as the performance is right. It is a battle of two value systems that will collide in the future. Also, consider that the year 2945 will be the year when the earth must look like God’s “gusto,” visually and in terms of content! That the goal must be achieved is beyond
167
question! The burden of responsibility here rests decisively on Jesus Christ! Concluding from this, it is to be advised that a cluster formation in the respective continents should be pushed forward. Since an increase in wars, natural disasters, diseases, and division is expected, especially in the next 20 years, focusing on a self-contained economic cycle is a wise strategic step to meet the above-mentioned challenges and work towards the long-term goal. In addition, to raise the above point of not moving boundary markers, the question would be which breakpoint of a temporal nature would have to be used for this statement. The point in time before the great war of 1914 took place? The answer is very likely: Yes! For when a thing is handed over, a correct status is usually handed over so the proper thinking. The map status before 1914 and thus the official map of 1900 would have to be the base according to which at least Europe and probably also the world should have been divided up. According to the will of God. Why is this so? As indicated, the fragmentation is also a consequence of the disunity of the kings, who can thus better carry out their own policies. God also wants to bring this into an overall 168
context with regard to the overall goal, a kingdom guided by God’s standards, so that in the future, there will be more unity and also more people or also persons (in the spiritual as well as in the human realm) working on one thing. In the future, within the next 20 years, it can be assumed that the shortage of imported goods, be it through political divisiveness of any kind, will persist; that God, as already indicated, will continue to pursue his war strategy of scarcity consistently. A reversal of globalisation would lead to a disproportionate loss
for the western industrialised
countries. As a result, the countries would again be forced to strengthen partnerships or alliances in close surroundings so that the above-mentioned border markers would appear attractive again. At this point, I would also like to say a word about the other world powers, especially America and the UK. Success comes from God. It is obvious that American success is only possible with God’s help and God and Jesus also need the American world power to maintain a proper global policy. Moreover, American values are pro-God, and therefore sympathy is evident. The UK is guided by Jesus Christ, as especially the focus on Jesus Christ is primarily recognisable in the faith framework of the British. Moreover, the
169
character of the British is also more Christ-like. The fourth point is I just know it by heart! In general, it can be said that the European continent is more in the hands of Jesus Christ and his fellows. God is more active in the American continent and also shows his working hand in the Middle East near the origin of life of the Holy Land. God is also a nostalgic personality who naturally has a much larger time horizon than man. God also uses Russia as a counterweight for his works. That, too, is part of the truth. The information must and should suffice for the general public at this point. I only want to express that our behaviour and actions also influence who is attracted to us from heaven and whether we can also play a role in the big picture. Funnily enough, and as a fun fact at this point, the “hand of God” in the World Cup quarter-final in 1986 in the Aztec Stadium, when Argentina played England, was really the hand of God when Diego Armando Maradona “scored” the decisive goal by hand. Maradona spoke about the irregular goal: “Whoever steals from a robber will be forgiven for 100 years.” Thus, this was probably a small act of revenge by God on his son Jesus Christ with a hidden message, a wink from heaven, so to speak.
170
Of course, Jesus automatically became less popular with the older German generation when England scored the famous Wembley goal in 1966 and thus became world champion for the first time. Otherwise, however, Jesus is more beholden to the DFB eagle at the national level and ensured the success of the German team. In the short-term future, the challenges and warrior elements will increase, but in the long term, the excesses of whatever kind will generally be curtailed. The following diagram is intended to illustrate the new axis of movement of people, whereby the lower end of the quality of life, but also performance, is raised. Still, the quality of life and performance of many is also capped. Top performers are, therefore, easier to recognise because, in the future, performance is only given by the blessing of God, Jesus Christ, and also the number 3 (the position that has yet to be filled in heaven since the Kingdom came into existence). Top performance also means almost
171
no opposition or fierce opposition for a certain period of time as training and purification to get into the top class. The trend reversal towards “zero tolerance” also corresponds
to
the
zeitgeist,
which
is
vigorously
communicated by the youth. This is intended to make it clear that success should be generated on a morally impeccable basis (in the larger context), as good as possible (cf. Model of feelings on page 43). It can already be foreseen and anticipated that in about ten years, abusive behaviour, whether of a business or private nature, will no longer be tolerated. Exploitation will thus find its final way onto the siding! Against this background, the big sporting goods companies, but also the fashion industry, should consider whether it is still appropriate to produce goods under inhumane conditions in the poorest states of Asia. Of course, it is always argued that this is also economic aid. However, anyone with a sound mind can distinguish between economic aid and exploitation. In their own interest and out of self-protection, a way should be found as soon as possible to produce the goods in an appropriate context. The Chairman of one of the largest American investment banks, Jamie Dimon, once said: “We are doing God’s work!” By this, he meant Wall Street investment banking. 172
He is not wrong, as major changes are also being initiated by Wall Street. I am referring, in particular, to the ESG approach that has been implemented recently and is currently being consistently pushed forward. However, this approach comes too late! It should have been introduced twenty years ago. The damage caused by the greed for returns of the big investment houses is immense. It is time to invest the money in sustainable, meaningful projects that unite people and do not divide them. In addition, the tax system should be revised worldwide, which creates clarity (instead of uncertainty) or stimulates the creativity of individual industries and corporations. Taxes should be fair but also reasonable. The logical common sense that if one profits from something, a certain repayment is also natural should be used more often to make certain decisions. For God has written the law on man’s heart. According to the Bible, man is an algorithm that does not really need any special instruction unless man tends to the bad by himself or is led to the bad by circumstances. Thus, the root of the evil must be fought, and this happens “top-down” and not “bottom-up.” The big investment houses must be aware of their responsibility and intervene even more strongly and push the important issues
173
so that a value-based understanding of the economy can be implemented. On the other hand, it must, of course, be taken into account that the banks have been preoccupied with the issue of “regulation” in the past period since the financial crisis, and so the firms have had more leeway to follow their own ideas. It is clear that the “classic world” before the financial crisis will return, with banks again becoming more supervisory and pushing the big tectonic issues further. Companies can see this guidance as a strategic help to meet the increased demands in the future as well as to further establish a long-term approach to entrepreneurship, which will be expanded by several dimensions. It would also be time to find out what really makes people happy. An attempt should also be made to break with habitual views. Are we human beings there to serve the economy and capitalism, or should the economy and capitalism serve us as humanity? This rhetorical question comes from one of my former professors and still sticks in my mind. We need to be clear again that we have been in a multidimensional war for a number of years, which is not even seen or acknowledged by economic leaders. For years, we have been in a global economic war, which has already 174
become the norm. Moreover, the warlike elements of Christ are clearly visible in everyday life, so that we are actually in a permanent state of war. What is the point of all this? Perhaps, and I am convinced of this, Jesus Christ, on behalf of God, must achieve that a kind of self-reflection is carried out. We, as humanity, usually, and by that, I honestly mean almost always, try to conceal the problem. I would like to give an example. Due to increased cyber-attacks, we try to implement new security barriers in the form of new security technology applications, but this only postpones the problem and does not really solve it completely. War dubiously even creates economic growth, as new industries are created, from which new jobs and taxes are gained, thus generating new GDP, which on balance, fuels value creation. But is this way of concealing imbalances, albeit with an economically positive outcome, the solution to the challenges? In the short term, yes, yet in the long term, this approach is only partially crowned with success. God shows us the root or cause of the problem in Revelation. According to Revelation 9, these very acts are a thorn in God’s side: “But the people who were not killed by these disasters did not change. They did not stop worshipping the 175
demons and the idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood, these self-made gods that can neither see nor hear nor walk. No, they did not change; they did not stop murdering, practising sorcery and fornication, and stealing.” It should be mentioned here that abortion, and in fact, even strictly speaking, deliberately living without children, is murder in God’s eyes. According to God’s Word in the Bible, children are to be regarded as a gift from God and not as a troublesome evil. The fact that even large American corporations are currently paying employees for abortions and thus subsidising murder is a major offence and, strictly speaking, should even be regarded as paid contract murder. It is quite clear that Donald Trump had God’s blessing when he selected the judges in the Supreme Court who tightened the abortion law. Donald Trump or Ron DeSantis will get God’s blessing to restore victory for the Republicans in the next round of elections and thus for the values of family, justice, and defence. This means that God wants to get back to basics. In other words, God wants people to recognise and admit that they have acted wrongly and literally return to God or repent. The goal is a complete submission to God or the way to eternal cutting off or even death. Revelation 9 speaks of one176
third of the world’s population facing death unless they submit to God! This is thus a call to repent or, at some point, proverbially meet the final adversary, God. This would then result in death! We are thus faced with an agonisingly creeping process, ultimately leading to survival or death. This has also been prophesied. The system of things is coming to a gasping end.
177
The Relativity of the Nature of Every Human Being At this point, I would like to venture into something that perhaps no one has ever done before. I would like to translate the nature of each human being into a model that is both easy to understand and clear but also offers the possibility of quantifying differences. Or, in understandable language, I would like to explain what it means to be “perfect.” The state we can only reach with Jesus Christ. The following diagram should serve this purpose, which I would like to describe as follows: The relativity theory of the nature of every human being:
The diagram shows that there are three main elements of the being, which can be grouped into six sub-groupings. This 178
means that every human being has the respective expression to a certain degree. However, the expression determines whether a person is or will be successful in a certain area. There are also interdependencies between the individual sub-groupings. Only if a person has all six characteristics at a certain level can he or she do higher-quality work because he or she will be able to interpret or classify even very complex issues correctly. Only the absence or lack of quality of a single building block can destroy a whole life’s work or ruin an entire life plan. It should be mentioned here that certain characteristics are (or can be) interdependent. This means that if one characteristic is not present in the required quality, other characteristics (can) also be affected. For example, reduced sexual activity sometimes causes listlessness, which could reduce strength and power. In addition, libido can also have a lasting effect on the emotional complex if intimate interpersonal relationships are in short supply. A lack of analytical aptitude can also negatively affect sensation and perception, as the sense is not connected to reality. Thus a distorted picture is cast on the way things are seen.
179
In addition, the feeling complex interacts strongly with sensing and perceiving. An example of this is the sense of smell, which is pronounced differently by everyone. That is why scents are sometimes interpreted differently. In order to be successful in life in one’s respective field, different competencies/expressions can come into play. If analytics, sensing, and perceiving are more important in leadership-related tasks, strength and power (but also precision) are more important in action-related tasks. On the other hand, it is always an advantage if a person has more rather than too few expressions; otherwise, disagreements are often the result. The background of the misfit is that people communicate on different levels, and thus disruptions occur. However,
this
also
means
that
disputes
and
disagreements are based on the lack of a particular expression or the reduced quality of a particular expression. For example, it can be observed that in war-damaged generations, the emotional complex has often been attacked in such a way that sensation and perception are deceived, and the result is wrong perceptions but also wrong actions. It can often be observed that due to a lack of empathy, wrong decisions or wrong educational measures are taken.
180
Through training, be it social, mental, or physical, the characteristics of the respective elements can be increased. Social togetherness strengthens the emotional complex, sensation, and perception since the individual always has a mirror image or measurement before his eyes. Through mental interaction with the most diverse media, especially through social interaction, the analytical complex is also served, since it is only possible to abstract through an intensive collection of data or experiences. Physical training increases strength and power. But again, only up to a certain level. Mental strength is also crucial. Because without mental strength, physical strength cannot emerge. And mental strength relies on social interactions as its basis! Thus, the number one weapon of war and the most shameful weapon of all is exclusion, as it tears down the base, the foundation of every human being. Therefore, solitary
confinement
without
human
interaction
is
equivalent to a very agonising death, as the human being collapses and implodes. It is to be noted that the characteristics or the quality of these interactions can be trained and developed, but only to a certain extent, as nature allows us or the basis of our genes. Thus, it can be concluded that it is crucial which actions each individual takes, as these are decisive for which 181
“building blocks”/traits are trained. But it can be stated in general terms that social interaction is indispensable to maintain the corresponding traits and to develop them further. If all these six elements of being are present in their full expression, this would be equivalent to perfection. A state that has officially only been granted to Adam and Eve as well as Jesus Christ. In history, however, there have also been men who, according to the remote judgement, were close to perfection in essence and achievements. Yet, an early death is observed with all these outstanding personalities (Achilles, Absalom). Lessons learned World peace would only be realistically possible provided humanity was perfect, according to the above diagram. Genes or genetic material cannot be changed – except by supernatural action or the most modern medical technology (short-lived). The diversity of the individual still comes up short in the choice of a partner, career, and appreciation of it.
182
Jesus Christ has the task of leading people to perfection; thus, by 2945, humanity should have the maximum
possible
expression
in
all
six
building
blocks/elements. The seventh element is God because without him, it is impossible to develop the six elements.
183
Outlook We must always keep in mind, especially in proclamations of any kind, what the background of the message is and what its intention is. In communication theory, the fact is that language and presentation represent an enormous amount of power. The content of a message can almost be considered tertiary. According to scientific research, what matters in a message is: 70% -> How is the message conveyed? 28% -> What does the recipient want to hear, and what emotional attitude do they have to the topic or the presenter? 2% -> Content It is striking and also frightening that the content is only relevant by 2% for the successful transmission and reception of a message. As a result, religions, in particular, try to place the emotionality factor very high and thus have an appealing basis of 98% for their message. We must remember that Jesus Christ used this stylistic device excellently in his work on earth to lead people in a certain direction. He was merciful, took time for people,
184
healed people, and stood up for the weak and poor, but at the same time said in content that he had come to start a bestial war and also to start and carry out this war (cf. Luke 12). Moreover, he was very vague about the Kingdom of God. He probably did not have permission to proclaim it, either. However, his ministry was in many ways incomprehensible even to the disciples at that time. Even today, Christianity disagrees about the exact teaching and its interpretation. Only with God’s Spirit is this Gospel comprehensible in its entirety. In addition, there is the fact that even Jesus refers to the will of God in it and thus says: What was said still holds! Perhaps and precisely because of this scientific knowledge, this is one reason why God, YHWH, has clearly forbidden idolatry and the use of images or statues (image worship). Because through the images and statues, the emotionality of people is extremely influenced, and the content of the message is lost or even distorted. Who would go to a church that was not pompously furnished, which thus did without Jesus’ cross or works of art such as paintings (e.g., Mary), and concentrated exclusively on the content and the teaching? Here, it must also be distinguished and taken into consideration that the temples in the Old Testament were pompously furnished and 185
full of gold. Thus, it can be deduced that the imposing of a building is nothing objectionable. It is rather about inner life. It must also be mentioned here that even God instructed the Israelites at that time to decorate the Ark of the Covenant with angels (Cherubim). As we can see, it is sometimes a fine line in how this subject is to be interpreted. It can be implied that the content of the message should not be lost. On the other hand, an atmosphere is deliberately created that has nothing to do with the content of the message, leading people or “believers” in a direction that is not entirely correct. So, we see a certain ambiguity here. Remember, when Jesus Christ prophesied that many would appear in his name, there was ambiguity and uncertainty about how and when this will happen. Therefore, there will be a multitude of religions, religious communities, groupings, each of which will also have different views. The point is that they have all been led by emotionalism, and so the content of the message has been lost. The following seven W questions should always be answered in order to get a complete picture of the content of a message. 1. What? (Happening) 2. Who? (Persons) 186
3. Where? (Place) 4. When? (Time) 5. How? (Manner of acting) 6. Why? (Reason) 7. From where? (Basis) With this, we must also note that the content-related 2% of a message is associated with a lot of work – even weighted significantly disproportionately. In today’s world and in view of today’s zeitgeist (spirit of time), two opposite developments to this can be observed. On the one hand, short-form is presented, especially in social networks. This is perfectly fine in this context, as the focus here is on entertainment and fun. On the other hand, such an exponential increase in information can be observed, particularly in the business sector. Whether or not religions are necessary for faith is not clear. It is true that in the past and in the three central theologies, there has always been a group or even a community that practised worship. Nevertheless, I firmly believe that it is not necessary for faith and for a relationship with God to be affiliated with a particular religion or group.
187
It is more important for God that one’s nature, character, attitude, and deeds are excellent. Faith is thus to be performed rather than a ritual, which does not fit the above three elements. Therefore, there is always a need for appropriateness, or there must also be a basis of entitlement. The talents or also strengths given by God are not to wither away but are to be lived out. It is the teaching of His Son that one should toil and also work against one’s inner will and deny oneself. This is torture in my eyes and is a hot topic from a purely legal and ethical point of view. Because nowadays, this is to be judged and classified as abuse. I firmly believe that Christianity cannot be sustained in the way it currently exists. God is number one, and his will to turn the earth back into a Garden of Eden still holds. Jesus was the means, but also the value, to make up for the fall of man in the Garden of Eden. In accounting terms, the liability is balanced and evened out by the claim/receivable. The demand (receivable) that we, humanity, have to fulfil is the demand of Jesus Christ so that he may intercede for us personally with God and lift the block and the liability towards us. Only through the blood of Jesus can this succeed, and only Jesus Christ can do it for us. Very few individuals can and may communicate directly with God and are probably 188
exempt from the task described. They are persons who belong to his bodyguards or hold some other extraordinary rank under God. But in purely factual terms, these can only be Cherubim or Seraphim living on earth. Yet even they must pay respect to His son, Jesus Christ. As the master of man’s work, Jesus was active in creation or in the process of creation. Therefore, it was also decisively Jesus, who – as master – designs the pieces of creation. However, the process of creation or also the process of development emanates decisively from God. He is the great master of our universe. Conversely, it also means that we owe a lot to Jesus. Without Jesus’ masterful art, the earth and mankind would not have come into being in their splendour and glory. Here, too, there are, of course, differences. Our task as human beings is also to appreciate the deeds of heaven and to pay respect to them. This is done largely through our actions but also through our thinking. The technological process that is taking place is helping humans to perform routine tasks with greater precision and also to significantly increase productivity. But what do we do with the effect of increased productivity? A lot of modern thinking people invest it in the appreciation of creation by learning about new cultures, 189
discovering new places and trying to enjoy life, putting ESG issues into a meaningful context, and making the world a better place in a sustainable way. Others, however, try to increase the balance of their bank account or invest it in material goods and thus only generate added value on a subjective level, but not really in the overall context. This is not to be demonised, but the motive is decisive for God, and even King Solomon knew that in the long run, it is not material wealth that makes people happy. It must also be mentioned that it is right to strive for a certain success and to be successful, but it is also important to what I stand for with my success! In order to be remembered by family, friends, fellow human beings, and in the rarest cases in the history books of mankind, it is important to dedicate a larger context to one’s life. This is not afforded to most people, but such a positive contribution can be generated even in a small context. As an example, I would like to mention a team leader or a manager. It can often be observed today that the lowest management level – driven by the goals of the upper levels – is no longer in a position to address the strengths and weaknesses of the workforce and to develop the workforce in a targeted way.
190
The human being has now been degraded to a resource, even in the demanding professions, where the aim is to generate as much output as possible with as little input as possible. This is an inhuman view! The human being is not a resource, it is a living being! Both the current manners and the hypocritical understanding of leadership of many decision-makers and leaders are a big thorn in Christ’s side! Furthermore, money is often seen as higher value than life, which is very dangerous thinking. Life and limb should always have a higher standard than profits. As a graduate in business administration with extensive academic as well as professional experience at home and abroad in various positions, I have come to the conclusion that capitalism still has its raison d'être. However, especially in management positions, it can be observed that a spoken word is no longer valid and that fraud is the order of the day and is considered acceptable or even normal! In corporations, managers or executives no longer have any real decision-making power. Decisions are now made at the director level or on the management board. However, these are clearly driven by the supervisory board and the investors. The consequences of high pressure and excessive greed are often frightening! Internal reports are fudged, and 191
figures are adjusted retrospectively so that the management board can calmly inform the supervisory board about the monthly results. Stories and pleasant prose are concocted for commenting on the figures, so the treat of monthly reporting can also be served tastefully. For all the zeal and pre-set actions to “change for the better” and “make a valuable contribution to society” – the management’s meta-narrative – in almost all companies, especially skilled jobs are currently classified one or two grades down. This means that the company politically pushes the jobs down in terms of complexity and required qualifications. There are no factual reasons for this. Almost every job in the white-collar sector has exponentially increased in required competence due to globalisation, digitalisation, and networking. Accordingly, almost every job should be adjusted upwards by one or two steps, not downwards. In the upper white-collar sector, jobs are being squeezed by about 40,000 – 60,000 euros per year. In the past, top controllers were paid 120,000 euros plus a lavish bonus, but their qualifications and productivity were much lower. Nowadays, jobs are being squeezed to around 80,000 euros per year plus a marginal bonus. In my eyes, this is fraud because the money goes into the pockets of the management,
192
which is dependent on the very quality-oriented work of the management team. A former German head of McKinsey & Company once said in an interview that there are more excellently qualified employees than ever before and that management consultants are spoilt for choice when it comes to selecting top talent. Thus, the question would be whether the abovementioned fact is an effect of the market? In other words, a larger supply faces a limited demand. However, according to current reports and conversations with headhunters and decision-makers from the business world, the complete opposite can be observed. Moreover, the consulting firm BCG (Boston Consulting Group) sees an even greater discrepancy in the future against the background of demographic developments. Decisions on the investor side, on the supervisory board, and at the management, level are nowadays made from a very short-term perspective. Bonus maximisation is clearly in the foreground. After all, management incentives are usually always related to the financial year. In the course of the increasing short-termism of job appointments and eroding loyalty, this is not really surprising.
193
Moreover, another trend has become the amusement of the play “management speaks to the workforce.” In the past, some twenty years ago, it was a very respectable act for management to speak to the workforce and relay explanations to the workforce. Nowadays, among staff, this has become an amusement. Beforehand, there is usually talk of a play or a fairy tale. I probably do not need to explain the reason, but it is worth mentioning that most of them do not trust even one syllable that is spoken by the management nowadays. It should be noted that in business studies, the meta-narrative is taught as a stylistic device and a consequence of post-modernity. An asymmetrical information advantage no longer exists and cannot really be played by management nowadays. Therefore, it is particularly evident that management has deteriorated significantly due to post-modern behaviour. A Managing Director in a sandwich position of an undisclosed company once told me that he is just lied to every day. Within the “sandwich positions,” the art lies especially
in
weighing
the
information
from
the
management board and that from the team leaders/managers and forming a picture of the truth for oneself. Consultancies often present themselves as the saviour and omnipotence of knowledge. But where does the 194
information come from that partners usually present very artfully? The art and decisive competitive advantage are, of course, to always have the latest knowledge by diligently recruiting from universities and technical colleges. Most projects today are completed by young professionals. If knowledge is lacking, it is bought in externally and then sold as knowledge of the respective consulting firm. The abstruseness has already increased to the extent that employees of company X sometimes provide information for a fee, which the consultancy then processes and sells again at a high price, possibly even to the same company X. The management of such consultancies is usually the client. It should also be mentioned here that in all the studies and reports produced by the large consulting firms, the partner or partners who out themselves as qualified authors of these studies usually do not write a single syllable themselves. They are usually consultants or senior consultants. The director or senior manager proofreads and agrees on any wording requests. Even headlines or famous oneliners/statements are written by consultants or senior consultants. The partner then pretends to the general public that he has written this document himself. A partner’s knowledge or 195
fund of knowledge depends largely on his staff. In traditional auditing, this is usually different, as the professional title is of crucial importance in order to be able to practise the profession. However, here, too, more than 90% of the work is done by newcomers to the profession. Just like in the very successful TV series of ZDF “Bad Banks”: “Welcome to Circus Gaga,” today’s arena of entrepreneurship has “risen” to the level of a circus ring or theatre play. It can be quite entertaining to work in certain companies these days. However, I would like to appeal at this point that even in view of the high rents and the rising cost of living, a lack of seriousness on the subject of job classification is socially explosive or even fraudulent and clearly does not contribute to amusement, but is simply a wrong way of acting. There is clear economic evidence that German economic success is based on “wage dumping.” Over the last 20-25 years, Germany has not been able to record any wage increases in real terms (i.e. after deducting inflation). As in the above example, there have been real wage decreases, especially in the middle and even in the upper salary levels! And this with a clear increase in productivity and qualifications! 196
For me, this represents fraud against society and the German people! The whole statistics show a distorted picture in so far as the TOP salary earners have increased disproportionately, and thus the basic population is lifted decisively upwards. However, a de facto wage and salary devaluation is underway so that even more money can be placed with the decision-makers. However, the actual work is still done by the workforce. In addition, the aforementioned phenomenon of bonus theft has become socially acceptable. In the last issue of the German “Manager Magazin,” I even had to read that in the meantime, at SAP, the new board of directors is also supposed to have interfered with bonus payments in South Africa. But that is just an aside. What I am actually trying to get at is that management likes to adjust bonus payments, which are contractually exactly quantifiable, downwards and thus commit bonus fraud. Most of the money ends up in their own pockets or is squandered. In a company where I used to work, a twenty-year-old accountant was “robbed” of 500 euros. She told me in horror about the incident and the way she was treated. It should be noted that the young lady was very hard-working and also worked a lot of overtime. And this to an extent where, in 197
retrospect, I am not sure how often the German Occupational Health and Safety Act was broken. As a thank you, the young lady was beaten up by her supervisor in such a way – in a one-on-one meeting behind closed doors – that tears flowed. Afterwards, the supervisor enjoyed a steak and wine with the management team. The bill is said to have amounted to almost 1,000 euros. Subsidised by the twenty-year-old accountant with 500 euros. In the same company – which is, of course, standing up for values on paper – the Finance Director of that time mobbed out a father of a first newborn child because he could not work on the weekend and bank holidays anymore. Luckily, the old boss of the fresh father could help him by giving him a job at the newly moved company. Bonus theft is also very common in this cooperation. Many cases are existing, also against ladies who do not speak the language of the country, so they can hardly fight against it. I will spare the reader further stories at this point. What I want to get at is that such behaviour is unacceptable and attacks the core of our society, our very understanding of values. It is criminal, too!
198
This behaviour is clearly wrong and contributes significantly to the deterioration of our current social conditions. This behaviour must be stopped immediately because it attacks the core and basis of life. It threatens the individual, the partnership, and also the family. Those who do this are even attacking God! We learned that even Jesus Christ had to correct himself when he tried to undermine the family in order to give priority to Christianity. Or, in other words, to push Christianity on the back of the family. This is clearly not in the will of God! Whoever does such a thing, in the long run, incurs the wrath of God! And this wrath can be very consuming! God speaks of it being terrible, horrible, or cruel to fall into his hands! His wrath is destructive and deadly! The examples mentioned in the Bible when individuals were directly punished
by
God
are
extraordinary.
Even
King
Nebuchadnezzar was so punished for his behaviour of making a golden image of himself that he circled around in the fields eating grass like a mentally ill animal.
199
The abrupt deterioration of Adolf Hitler’s health during World War II or the speculation of the abrupt deterioration of Vladimir Putin’s health since the outbreak of the Ukraine War are signs of Jesus Christ. The toolbox of disease and natural disasters is in Jesus’ care. When God strikes directly, it becomes consuming, outright carnage! However, it needs to conclude that both statesmen had and still have the favour of God. Vladimir Putin is one of the very few statesmen who publicly propagate, support, and defend the values of God (Family, a strong military who is actually defending the country, its values, and sovereignty, and the conservative view of life). This also brings us to the outlook. What can be interpreted from our findings for the future? The spiritual realm will have a much stronger impact on the earth in the future. There will probably be much more violent events. Jesus said, “Pay back Caesar’s things to Caesar, but God’s things to God!” This is also to be understood as a call to all mankind, to all who still wish to live in contentment on this earth, for Jesus is the present king of all kings in heaven! God is the very last instance that intervenes in a regulating way, as now also at this moment.
200
But what does it mean to “repay Caesar’s things to Caesar”? That every citizen, entrepreneur, or other legal or even natural person liable for income tax pays taxes properly and on time. In doing so, the limits of tax law must be observed. Whether the tax avoidance tactics, which are to be located in the grey area, are tax evasion must be decided by the respective tax authority. Common sense is also always a guideline to compare things with God’s view. However, God and Jesus Christ denounce excessive taxation and cut-throat behaviour (usury and greed). Tax laws should do their part and not be designed to be exploitative. But what does it mean to pay God’s things to God? What does God require of us? The fact that you are reading this White Paper and thus getting to know him a little better is the first step! Living a godly life is the next step! Moreover, strictly speaking, this also means paying tribute to God. That people are not willing to pay even a penny to the churches due to the immense abuse scandals is more than understandable. The churches are not fulfilling their actual task to the extent they should. Furthermore, they drag God through the mud with their actions and twisting of doctrine.
201
An appropriate tribute would be a 1% copyright fee of the monthly gross salary, analogous to the German solidarity tax, which should be paid to the United Nations, which should devote itself even more to the issues of sustainability and international understanding on a global level. Unfortunately, it can be observed that all religions or religious communities are losing members due to internal scandals, unclear leadership, or improper application and interpretation of the scriptures. Moreover, it would be appropriate to ask why no religious leader has yet firmly rebuked and truly counted out society, especially the LGBTQ+ scene for misusing God’s sign as peace for humanity and non-repetition of the deluge for their own purposes. It is downright grotesque that this movement has continued to organise its goings-on with increasing frenzy for many years and is even courted by society! This is an outrage! This should be stopped once and for all! It cannot be that something like this happens, and such disrespect is shown! I advise and even insist that those involved stop their actions with immediate effect! Why do I say this? God’s anger does not grow slowly. He sometimes piles it up strategically and then strikes with 202
full force, so that, in the end, everyone is convinced that it was God who showed himself. It will be the same with this issue! I can only warn those involved against this! As in all judgments of punishment, he is also giving a warning here now! Moreover, there is a danger that innocent people will also be harmed by these heinous works, as I have clearly stated in my previous remarks! With this, I would like to move on to the point that has not yet been seen and communicated by the respective churches and religious communities. As mentioned in the introduction, there are laws of nature. If act X is committed, an event Y follows. Two examples of this. If someone drops a cup, it falls on the floor. If I treat someone badly, I can expect dislike. It is the same with God. By our actions, we do not pay respect to God but downright mock him. What is the consequence of these deeds? God punishes us with dislike. The world conditions are clear. The logical conclusion is? The answer should be clear to everyone! I have met very many people who have respect for God but not for a religion. It should be noted here that respect
203
should also be reflected in deeds and daily actions. I would also count myself among this caste. Demonisation of sexuality has even led believers in some churches in America to turn members to the pornography business – partly in protest – to show quite clearly that this is not so. The Roman Catholic Church still believes in abstinence, preferring instead to rape boys. In other churches, however, piety is practised to such an extent that even the most zealous have lost their appetite for the opposite sex. We must therefore conclude that no church or religious community paints an adequate picture of God, YHWH, or Jesus Christ, and thus even makes life difficult for the members or restricts them instead of pointing out the real teaching and thus also providing a translation that is applicable and clearly understandable in everyday life. It is true that God’s will is that the church is primarily intended as worship for him. But worship is not to be practised like a prayer mill or even in a mantra-like manner. Strictly speaking, in the Old Testament, the priestly class appeared as mediators between God and the people, or rather, that was their task. With the redeeming sacrifice of Jesus, Jesus Christ assumed the role of mediator in heaven. That is why the prayers usually end with “Jesus Christ, Amen!” The present priestly class has, or rather would have,
204
the task of mediating between society and Jesus Christ and interceding for humanity. It is understandable that this is very difficult under the present challenges. Therefore, we, humanity, must first rethink and adapt our ways of acting so that prayers can be heard again and Jesus Christ, through God’s power and permission, can meet humanity in a positive way again. As has already been clearly explained, God, Jesus Christ, Satan, and the remaining 101 million angels have feelings. If we act badly and repulsively, we cannot reap positive feelings from heaven. The task of admonishing and exhorting lies primarily with religious leadership. However, I would not always rely on this for the reasons already explained, as often there are vested interests, and not really the interest of each individual is paramount. The loss of believers is also due to the lack of transmission of meaning, the lack of transmission of the personality of God and his son Jesus Christ, and the real expectations presented to humanity. I hope I have succeeded to some extent in my work to gain a holistic understanding of history, events, and the future. Further backgrounds, analyses, details, and conclusions are still available in abundance, for the Bible has many 205
pages. However, given the complexity of the subject matter, my aim was to write a book that is easy to read and understandable for the general public. The knowledge I present should give a first impression and context. God has power! Consequently, the members should also have power and radiate this to the required extent! In addition, proper dress is required, especially within the priestly class. This must also be emphasised, as, in the past, these were even decorated with precious stones. Accordingly, the clothing may and should be somewhat more tasteful. To turn thoughts back to the future, in the future – and according to Nebuchadnezzar’s diagram – the regulating power of God will intervene more strongly and divide humanity into two sectors. Revelation speaks of goats and sheep. It is a division between good and evil. Thus, a certain grey area is also dissolved, or people are driven out of the grey area into the respective sectors so that in the end, a clear “black” and “white” can be passed as a judgement for God and Jesus Christ. The division is made by Jesus Christ and his angels. However, God has to approve this division and has the final decision-making power over this process.
206
It is said that the goats will go to eternal destruction and thus perish as in the past in the judgments of God (Sodom and Gomorrah, deluge). The sheep are to be allowed to live on under the leadership and lordship of Jesus Christ. But here, too, there should be no exaggerated joy. Jesus and God have shown in their previous careers what they are capable of, and purely historically, there has never been a time without war! With this, abstruse living conditions and deeds also come to an end unless God and Jesus intervene again. However, history has shown that everything repeats itself, and that is why it has already been prophesied that people will again turn to the bad and that another judgement is imminent. It is, therefore, an iterative process in which humanity is purged, and Jesus and God decide who may continue to live on earth as a subject. A comparison to a company is quite conclusive here. The founder/board of directors and the CEO also get to decide who should or should not be employed by the company. Since God is the founder of life, matter, and all being, and Jesus created man as the executive power, it is also the right of the creator and the founder to extinguish this life again.
207
To the fierce indignation of the reader, it should be said at this point that it is part of honesty and decency to communicate these facts clearly. The churches and religious communities have clearly failed in their role as God’s communicators because the message has not really reached the people! Every act of a human being evokes feelings in God, and the current world situation with the partly abstruse and heinous acts (paid rape sex; fornication on an unprecedented scale; immoderate greed; fraud; theft; the abusive desecration of the rainbow as a sign of peace of the LGBTQ+ scene and thus a blasphemy of the highest kind; the disparagement of Jesus Christ in countless swear words; the disparagement of families and their concept of values that come from God; immoderate exploitation, which leads to countless deaths and thus murder) are an indictment, to say the least! Or, to put it more clearly, these acts are a bottomless impertinence! Anyone with any halfway functioning common sense will have to admit that God cannot and will not put up with this for much longer! It is thanks to God’s love that he has not acted before. As with every judgement, God gives a warning beforehand! But 208
how does heaven bonify our lives, and how is the so-called stream of life generated? I would like to conclude my thoughts with an answer to these questions. Joy - Solar Energy Through an appealing “acting” performance or to describe it with the word “entertainment,” we enjoy joy in heaven, and we receive, so to speak, a bonification from heaven. The spectrum presented can be very different. Moreover, to remain in the model of the effects of conduct, good performance combined with moral stability is a basis for the “solar energy” of heaven. Godly Behaviour - Water Power The Bible speaks of the scriptures being waters of life (cf. John 4:14; 7:38). It is also noted that godly behaviour and study of his scriptures also generate positive energy. These thus form another source of energy that can be tapped into. Restitution of God - Wind The house of Job experienced great misfortune, according to the Bible, due to a dispute in heaven between God and Satan. The Scriptures state that the house of Job was blessed in a double measure after its trial in the dispute.
209
Thus, by the wind of God, Job was “quickened” again and was able to resume his old successful life. Discord - Gas Again, to put it bluntly, discord can also be a form of heaven’s entertainment, though not primarily desired by God. It is thus a choice of “bad entertainment” by the heavenly community. But even here, in certain cases, tailwinds can be generated for a period of time. In the long run, discord leads in the opposite direction and may result in warlike elements. War - Oil Since the existence of mankind, war has always been – as unpleasant as it may sound – a revolving event. Through wars, the above-mentioned disputes are settled on a larger level by force, and yet wars serve to strategically set the course for the long term. Injustices can be successfully fought, and there is a change of mind (as a rule, a different policy or view is taken after a war). Still, often, there is also a decline or a revolving reconstruction on a higher basis, and boundary markers are shifted. Accordingly, war also has a purifying effect insofar as certain progress is always recognisable on a long-term basis. In the Old Testament, we read that the Israelites were to atone for their sins through animal sacrifices. According to 210
this – and as a derivation through Jesus’ death – blood and death is also, in a sense, a currency with God, where slippage can be smoothed out by a very costly factor. Money - Coal Even through money or appropriate support, one can gain God’s favour. When Rahab, a prostitute, hid two spies of the Israelites with her, God spared them during the conquest and destruction of the city of Jericho and thus blessed them. It can thus be concluded that it would be advantageous to display a way of thinking that includes a longer-term horizon. From the region where I come from, the beautiful Allgäu, people who do not think properly are dismissed with the saying, “You can not even think from noon to noon! This is meant to make it clear that the horizon, a certain deed, and the subsequent action do not last a minute. More must be done to stop short-term thinking; otherwise, the major, strategically necessary changes in our society cannot be managed. For example, rampant corruption, especially in Southern European countries, has led to the fact that solar panels are nowhere to be seen, despite the intensively available resource of the sun. Bureaucracy and a lack of adequate
211
judiciary are also mostly a reason for remaining in the status quo. In addition, hydropower is still an underestimated source of energy, which can also be designed or used in a very environmentally-friendly way. Mankind’s problems can be solved. However, they can only be solved if God’s point of view is taken into account in decision-making! For God’s wisdom is higher than that of man. Moreover, as master of the universe, he knows how the crucial nodes are interrelated and has solutions at hand that tackle the cause at the root! Conclusion/Core Statements of My Work - The Trinity is a misrepresentation of most churches and religious communities. According to theological tradition, there is God, Jesus, Satan, and 101,000 angels. Each of these beings has its own personality structure and will. Accordingly, a trinity of God, Jesus Christ, and the Spirit does not always exist. - The 1,000-year kingdom of Christ mentioned in the Bible is already reigning. At the latest, officially since 1945. According to this, a clear upward spiral can be expected until the year 2945. With the blood of Jesus, we can reach
212
perfection again, and consequently, the degeneration process mentioned can be reversed. However, this can only happen if we let Jesus’ values, as well as God’s opinion, flow into our daily lives. - Since the existence of the kingdom, it is primarily former people who judge, who have been called as king by Jesus Christ for this purpose, and not God. Jesus is the responsible Angel, and thus King of all Kings in heaven and in control of the earth, and God is now overseeing this whole process. - God, YWHW, the God of the Old Testament, shows up nevertheless. I have clearly stated that his signature is visible in the current Ukraine war. Accordingly, it is very important to let God’s point of view flow into daily actions in order to keep harm away from fellow human beings. - Children are a gift from God, and in God’s eyes, the deliberate killing of an embryo is murder. - The strengthening of marriage and family, a God-given institution, must be cherished and defended against moral attacks. A birth rate below a factor of 2.1 leads to a sustainable population decline, which often also leads to sustainability problems in the respective ecosystems. - Different languages result from history (Tower of Babel). Different cultures result from the diversity of people, 213
which is to be seen as a gift. Nothing in nature is exactly like anything else. This is to underline the complexity and power of God. - Whoever wants to understand and know God must first and foremost read the Old Testament. - The values propagated by Islam often coincide with the views and values of the Old Testament. Therefore, more understanding, but also steps of willingness to follow, should be developed between Islam and Christianity. - Almost all the facts of the Old Testament could now be proven correctly on a sound basis through scientific evidence,
findings,
excavations,
analyses,
and
reconstructions. Even details in the mentioned incidents could be successfully scientifically proven so that now even critically minded scientists have to admit that the Old Testament is a fact. - Accordingly, even the most critical voices and opponents should be silenced insofar as it has now been proven several times that the God of the Old Testament exists. - God does not change as walking shadows do; therefore, the personality of God I have presented is a real presented image of God, which will also not change and will be there forever! 214
- We humans should not take ourselves too seriously. There is a higher heavenly government with over 101 million spiritual beings. Even the least angel has a higher status with God than the most powerful man on earth. - Through Hebrews 1:10-14, the New Testament/Gospel confirms the view that since Jesus’ ministry on earth, God is clearly acting through his son Jesus Christ; thus, God and Jesus Christ are the central actors in world events. - Only through the acceptance and customs of respect for God and Jesus Christ is it possible to receive the claim to Jesus’ redeeming sacrifice and a right to forgiveness of sins from God. Moreover, this includes not wilfully committing grievous sins (cf. my remarks on page 62). Otherwise, Jesus Christ would be nailed to the cross or the stake a second time. God speaks in the Bible that he would then take vengeance. How God exercises his vengeance, I have clearly stated. - As long as we respect and value God and Jesus Christ, Jesus can intercede with God, as I have explained, so that he may lift the ban, and we will have the opportunity to have more human resources and live a higher quality life. - The new number 3, the post of “Lord of Angels,” will also have to bow under Jesus Christ, despite his extremely high sphere of power as Lord presiding over 100 million angels. 215
- With this background, there is no longer a typical black and white in the heavenly context since the new Satan also acts or must act close to Christ in the spiritual context. - The great global challenges can only be solved if we respect God and Jesus Christ. This also includes adopting their point of view.
216
Appendix – Solutions for the Current Challenges 1. All states should recognise the sovereignty of Russia. Respect must be shown to the Russian Federation and the inhabitants of Russia. This also includes accepting the decisions of the Russian government. 2. Germany should act sovereignly and self-sufficiently in the future. An inadequate security and defence policy encourages too much dependence on American policy, which of course, primarily serves the interests of the United States of America. 3. The focus of Germany should be on the forward integration of the European Union, which is thus also responsible for enforcing a uniform, high standard of education and judiciary. 4. Germany should lead the way in the backward integration of international process chains into the EU in order to prevent exploitation and a higher ethical level in the production of goods. State-of-the-art technical applications, including intelligent energy production, should generate decisive competitive advantages.
217
5. A strong defence and security policy at the European level would help to transport European values more strongly into the world. 6. The ERASMUS programme should be significantly strengthened, as it clearly promotes the European idea and knowledge exchange. 7. An alignment of financial and pension policies would help to counter inequalities. It should always be kept in mind that the EU should always be oriented towards the strongest in the respective class. The EU is an asset. Therefore,
member
countries
have
to
measure
themselves against their high standards. In the future, it will be crucial for the European Union to stand together through the tectonic shifts and develop viable long-term solutions jointly. It should be noted that in the long run, it makes no sense and is counterproductive to oppose Russia or not to have good relations with Russia. Of course, other world powers are pleased to see a certain discord between Russia and Europe or Germany, as it weakens both adversaries considerably. Peaceful coexistence can only take place in the long term with Russia, and this includes the EU and Germany adopting sovereign energy policies in their respective spheres. This includes,
among
other
things,
218
the
opening
and
commissioning of the gas pipeline Nord Stream 2. The war between Ukraine and Russia must be settled at a higher level – as already outlined in my remarks. Despite the commissioning of Nord Stream 2, the focus should be consistently on investing and generating energy in the renewable sector. As powerful oil companies try to promote alternative energy sources as environmentally friendly against the backdrop of the continued use of the existing infrastructure as well as the possibility of achieving competitive advantage through complexity, this should be countered, as solar energy, hydropower, and wind energy are simple and effective methods of generating energy without much manpower. Moreover, an immense upside potential – especially in Southern Europe – can be raised through the intelligent use of solar panels on the facades and roofs of buildings and houses. A 1:1 approach should be preferred, as it is commonly known that efficiency losses are a physical property that can also be intelligently avoided. In addition, it should be mentioned at this point, while at the same time raising the question of why almost the entire raw material and energy business of large companies is settled via Switzerland or the Netherlands in a tax-optimised manner, based on the fact that the workforce, the business assets, and the earnings are located in Germany?
219
Organised tax robbery (Cum-Ex scandal), flimsy constructions to deliberately avoid paying taxes in Germany or to evade them, has become increasingly popular, especially in recent years. The scandal that 12 billion euros were stolen from the state treasury is a fact that is still too little known to the public. Taking into account the publicity that Ulrich Hoeneß received for his tax offence (approx. Thirty million euros), the prosecution, reporting, and publicity of the Cum-Ex scandal is a deplorable state of affairs within Germany. Perhaps this is also due to the fact that many publishers are close to the port city of Hamburg, the centre of the tax crime. It can generally be observed in Germany that the socalled opinion-forming (i.e., publishers) show a strong clustering. This is why a well-known German philosopher and author
has
already
denounced
the
deliberate
misrepresentation of opinion. This is another grievance within the Federal Republic of Germany that only politically intended opinions and statements are published. Freedom of opinion in Germany is indeed very severely restricted. This circumstance must not be allowed to continue in the future. In addition, financial scandals (Cum-Ex, Wirecard), in which considerable losses in value were generated, must 220
be relentlessly cleared up. I would like to remind the reader of §263 of the German Criminal Code (StGB), in which fraud, especially financial fraud, is punishable. Even the attempt is punishable. Against this background, a more open formation of opinion is also indispensable to do justice, on the one hand, to the European understanding of values and, on the other hand, to German legislation. It should also be mentioned that the recent fashion for executives to change bonus payments retrospectively, contrary to contractual agreements, is strictly speaking a criminal offence that should be dealt with by the public prosecutor’s office and not by the labour court. The framework I have explained within which we should and may move as a society can be found on page 105, Appendix - Law.
221
Appendix – The Intermediary Model Due to the high complexity of the different languages (currently about 7,000 in number), cultures, and the associated understanding of values worldwide, more use should be made in future of the intermediary model I have conceived in order to solve the major problems of humanity at the European level and globally. The background of most failed negotiations, but also of relationship building, be it private or business, is a lack of overlap or a missing denominator. In the international context, it has proven useful to use the Anglo-American culture and way of thinking as an intermediary. The following diagram will illustrate this graphically.
It should be noted that even in intra-European negotiations, it is usually not expedient to take a 1:1
222
approach—an example from my side. Because of my birthplace in the Allgäu, I have been used to dealing with the Swiss and Austrian cultures from an early age, as they were only an hour’s drive away, and we often spent time in these countries as a family. Therefore, due to my background and experiences, I do not need a bridge to these cultures. It is different from other cultures that are foreign to one, and not enough time could be invested to get to know the culture at an advanced stage. In these encounters, it is advantageous to use the AngloAmerican culture as an intermediary to quickly develop an intersection and a common understanding of values. I have countless examples of this in my professional and private life. In general, I can say that relationships in which I can make use of this model can be much deeper and more successful. The background to this is that often when my intermediary model is not used, conversations and relationships drift into superficiality – be it private or professional – and can hardly be developed to the next level. Therefore, it is absolutely necessary that both the political and the economic elite have enough experience in the Anglo-American context to be able to move unerringly
223
in the international arena but also to be able to conclude negotiations and results unerringly and successfully. In order to apply this model successfully, both parties must, of course, have the required knowledge. In this context, it has proven useful to have studied abroad and worked in an international context (abroad). In addition, it is necessary to have profound knowledge in the area of intercultural competence since, in most cultures, personal contact is decisive for success in the respective negotiations. This should also be taken into account when dealing with the issue of immigration. Cultures with a similar understanding of values can therefore be integrated more easily than cultures whose understanding of values differs from ours. In the case of cultures that are very close to Germany (Russia, Eastern Europe, Benelux), it has proven useful to dispense
with
the
intermediary,
as
a
very
good
understanding can usually be achieved without it. This is also due to a subjective approach, as I have a profound knowledge of the cultures, and a 1:1 connection can be established very quickly on my part. Nevertheless, my observation is that the abovementioned cultures are inclined towards Germany, and it
224
even proves useful to establish a 1:1 connection without an intermediary because of the cultural closeness to Germany. But even with countries and cultures such as the French and Italian cultures, the intermediary is an advantage for successfully concluding relationships at a high level, especially in a business context. On a personal level, with these two cultures, it is often desirable for many to make use of the sing-song of the language on holiday and switch off. It can be observed that the Spanish and Iberian cultures are similar to the Germans in their value construct, and it is not difficult to build up a 1:1 relationship, especially in private. However, it has also been proven in the business context to use the intermediary model in order to offset a lack of excellent knowledge of Spanish by the English language, but also by a rapid alignment of the understanding of values. To add a theological retracement, Jesus Christ is our intermediary who
serves
to
successfully
overcome
confusion or cultural differences through this intermediary channel. Through the Anglo-American world power, a mediator and translator have emerged under the rule of Christ so that it is easier for people to achieve successful communication on a global level, based on the current 7,000 languages and cultures. This mediator or the Christian 225
intermediary naturally also employs certain values and behavioural patterns, which may also be displayed to bring about a successful agreement. In order to achieve the best possible peaceful world order in the future, Germany should be aware of its strengths and act as an intermediary between the Anglo-American and Russian cultures.
Germany’s pro-Russian policy and economic success under Angela Merkel were made possible by her personal background, which includes a great deal of experience with Russian culture. The reconstruction and restoration of Germany’s strength under Gerhard Schroeder were also only possible to a large extent with a Russia-friendly policy. Consequently, it is of crucial importance which person leads a country or a company because personal experiences and backgrounds often shape leadership behaviour and orientation more than academic education. The latter should
226
“only” be the mental prerequisite to be able to penetrate complex issues and solve them successfully. We have to find solutions together with Russia on a global level. In addition, it would be worthwhile to first develop a guiding culture within the European Union so that all members know what the European Union wants to stand for and what costs the Union is also prepared to accept for this. Germany must take the lead in formulating the goals. From this strengthened position, the independence and sovereignty of the European Union must be fought for on the one hand. This is only possible through a strong defence and security policy. Not accepting Russia’s constant bullying will sooner or later lead to a third world war, which would largely take place on European soil. Germany and Europe must finally understand that we are culturally and geographically closer to Russia than to the United States of America! This is a fact that is unfortunately shared by very few decision-makers. Therefore, it is all the more necessary to think back and quickly take up the seven solution points I have presented to prevent further suffering, war and chaos and build a security architecture in Europe and Russia. The 227
Atlantic Ocean naturally separates Germany/Europe and America, but not Russia and Germany/Europe. A new continuous train route of friendship from Lisbon via Madrid, Paris, Berlin, Warsaw, and Kyiv to Moscow could ignite the European idea and a new spirit of optimism, which
symbolically
underlines
the
affiliation
and
commitment of the respective states. The future, the success, and the security of Europe will be decided from the Iberian countries, France, to the Eastern border together with Russia! Unity and trust must prevail there! If this fact is not taken into account, Russia will strategically distance itself from Europe, important raw materials will no longer be accessible to the European market and can primarily be offered to the Asian market, especially China, at advantageous prices. The consequence is the strengthening of the Chinese superpower in connection with the strengthening of authoritarian state powers. Furthermore, this process will also lead to increased conflicts in the Asian region, as China can act from a stronger position and increase pressure on the already smouldering conflicts, especially in Southeast Asia. In addition, it can be assumed that Russia will successfully annex Ukraine and that the Polish border – 228
about 800 km as the crow flies from Berlin - will be the future
ideological
but
also
freedom
border.
The
consequences would be a permanent security vacuum with a constant threat of war.
229
Appendix – Law
Since the existence of the Messianic Kingdom, the legal authority of the Gospel has officially existed. Many religious leaders refer exclusively to the New Testament, but this does not represent completeness. According to the passage that all Scripture is for teaching, rebuking, and setting things right, the Bible must be accepted as a rule book as follows. By saying that he can do whatever he wants, God adopts the legal principle of lex specialis derogat legi generalis (the special law supersedes the general law). In the Bible, as in the German Civil Code, there is a kind of bracket principle. The regulations of the New Testament/Gospel are to be preferred to the Old Testament. However, as in the diagram illustrated above, God can and
230
does exercise his right of veto – on the basis of the Old Testament. Accordingly, the Old Testament is the final judicial basis, and God the final authority of judicial action. This is crucial because the Old Testament has partly different legal norms and an understanding of behaviour that is unacceptable in today’s “modern” society. God respects human dignity (e.g., unequivocal stance against prostitution and homosexuality). However, God acts erratically when certain basic principles set by Him are not respected. In addition, women have a different status with God than with Jesus Christ. This is also accompanied by a different set of expectations. Through Jesus’ reference to his father (“Only he who does the will of my father ...”), the Old Testament is of central importance in order to be able to interpret the judicial sayings of God, but also in order to get to know God in his thinking and acting. In addition, it becomes clear that human law cannot be completely subsumed under heavenly law at present and that there are thus indifferences between the individual types of law (International law, Basic law, Criminal law, and Civil code) and heavenly law.
231
Appendix – Recommendations for Action I. II.
Behaviour that God clearly does not approve of is to be stopped with immediate effect. Respect and decency in everyday life are to be actively applied again.
III.
Authority figures deserve special respect.
IV.
The law must be stringently subsumable at all levels.
V.
Law enforcement must be pursued but also enforced more strongly again.
232
A New World - The Architecture Reasoning As it is clear that the Kingdom of Jesus Christ is ruling, there is a need to further define and decelerate how life is being seen and what are the instruments of power in the world under the kingdom of Jesus Christ in order to fulfil his will and the will of his father, YWHW. This chapter serves to inform and transform the world into a better place and, by doing this, aims to safeguard a process where the two decisive milestones will be reached. One is clearly, the 100th year of the kingdom under Jesus Christ, which will be the year 2045, where no rude behaviour or, to say it bolder clearly acts against God and his Son, Jesus Christ, will be tolerated anymore. The final date, the year 2945, is the date when the world needs to look like a place it is in analogy to paradise. A place where
utmost
quality
behaviour
is
being
valued.
Furthermore, this date also represents the date when perfection is being met with the help of Jesus Christ and the will of God. This is very important. Without both, this status cannot be achieved. And this status is crucial for being authorised
233
to live in this future picture book world, where everyone yearn for living in these circumstances and be able to spend the time and share memories with high-quality people with exciting stories, very good behaviour, and everyone being a value-added for the society and also for society in heaven. Therefore, it is incremental to understand the needs of people, what electrifies all the wider community (heaven and world) and what kind of products and services are being asked for to achieve this goal. Last but not least, it is of the utmost importance that all know which organisations are the steering elements of Jesus Christ and which individuals are the police of God to balance the power for safety reasons. In the Bible, it is said that the authorities come from God, and since the 1,000-year Kingdom is also from Jesus Christ, the exceptional individuals, by their deeds, are coming from God and Jesus Christ. So, the wider public should comply and accept the decision made by Jesus Christ and also confirmed by God. During this time frame, we can expect more and more cohesive thinking and action of both the father and the son in order to reach the end milestone. Who wants to build and to be a part of something bigger?
234
If you want to do so, you can start reading the content and see what is in for you and how you can thrive best. In order to fully understand the context of this chapter, the author recommends to read The Bible first. The Framework A global Framework helps to understand the architecture of power, which are incremental for understanding also the responsibility of success. Frameworks are essential for society to have a solid and understandable frame that can also be applied realistically in daily life. Actions speak louder than words. This is also theologically demonstrated, as acts are of higher value than words. Jesus even criticises people who often say the same thing or pray the same thing with no action behind it. It is like a mantra with no real backing. In rare situations, it can be a very good and lovable mantra, though. When a father prays for his wife and kids every day, it shows he truly loves her and them. It is important to respect the law and law set out by Jesus Christ and Apostle Paul. For behaviour, which includes purposefully doing something the opposite way by actually knowing it, Jesus Christ has no mercy.
235
There are several Bible passages where Jesus Christ says what these people can expect from him. The punishments can be so hard that even God and Jesus Christ can transform the person after death into a demon angel. By doing this, they can torture the person on a higher level with maximum pain and suffering. They do it in order to show the person what they think about him and make him suffer for his sins. A closer look at the Old Testament shows that God is a very revengeful entity. Eye for eye, tooth for tooth! And as outlined in my last book, God describes himself as a man, which is not changing as walking shadows do. This is very important to keep in mind when reading the next chapters. If God has a will, he will make sure that His will is also fulfilled and implemented. The cost is negligible. Even his Son, Jesus, had to die to fulfil His will! However, every cost has its price. There is no free lunch, the English man would say now. The price of Jesus’s death, as I mentioned already, is and was very high. You cannot just go against an angel person, especially if it is the son of God. For further clarification, all angels are seen as sons by God according to the theological foundation; however, Jesus has a special place, as he is the ‘first born’ and unique to God. 236
The Elements of Power This Chapter is important for understanding the elements to fulfil the will of Jesus Christ and God. It needs to be reassured that the world is controlled and supervised by an independent organisation, which also has the skills and the power to identify misbehaviour and question developments in the overall context. As already outlined, the United Nations need to get more grip on the big topics and present its views more strongly. That’s why financial support by means of a solidarity tax needs to be implemented to steer this organisation more decisively and track and monitor daily events and overall incidents more closely and thoroughly. Outstanding strong individuals will help in the future too to shift the world in the overall context. How can the overall context be defined? The overall context is the understanding of the history of mankind, the reasoning behind it, the theological foundation, and the future will of God. Every decision should be taken in the context of the applicable and theological laws. So, it is well-founded knowledge necessary in order to be able to perform this function. Furthermore, the personal
237
skills and the personality have to fit, as if you just have it in the brain but do not get it done. Something is missing. So, we need people’s people in this position, but – and this is incremental – the people’s people need to have outstanding analytical skills as well in order to be able to generate a view by themselves and not to be dependent on someone’s else analytical report. Furthermore, they need the boldness not to be afraid of going the way which is right despite earning criticism. Furthermore, there is a responsibility for the persons in the critical areas to articulate their findings properly so that the wider public fully understands and derives the correct actions accordingly. There is a higher moral standard requested in such decisive positions. In the below-constructed overview, there is illustrated that Theology is the foundation and source of everything. Science is there to back it and to understand it in more detail. One example is physics. The ‘Chaos Theory’ describes the qualities of the point at which stability moves to instability or order moves to disorder. That’s basically, in short, also what the Bible says. To further add on, the Bible is also saying that God will never let humanity explore and understand his system fully. So, he will also make sure that – according to His foundation can do what he wants – to 238
make moves or miracles in a good and bad way – so that humanity never will fully understand him, also humanity in general. Just when you are a person of heaven (angel), you are allowed and good enough for God to get him to know you on a higher level as you can see him and even talk to him. In my constructed overview, I defined the primary sector: All need-to-have products and services for humanity: housing, food, water, electricity, and basic services like basic education, health-system, and banking system. If the best people work in these industries, we have the maximum efficiency, research & development, and progress can be achieved, which also leads to the best possible product and/or service by being able to offer it at an attractive price. This should not be classification of the quality of the person involved within the respective industries. It should more demonstrate the responsibility included in having a clear backing in being in a more relevant industry, which also involves a high degree of integrity, wisdom, international footprint, and personality to be able to really understand the daily events and classify, analyse and present them and act accordingly. Like in banking, the moral stability, as well as general appearance, is factored in when to be hired. All other mentioned industries in the mentioned
239
sector should also should aim for a higher quality of personnel in order to safeguard a process where basic needs and higher arts are run by the best people on the planet. There is also the possibility to plan and construct houses and flats of a high-quality system so that there is one perfect plan which can be used in construction more than a million times. Nobody has come up with planning around ten to fifteen base cases, which can lay out internationally. Doing this allows all the planning to be allocated to a much higher number of projects. Furthermore, material and labour costs are much lower, as the material can be bought in higher volumes and the respective personnel is more trained and thus can execute the task more safely, quickly, and reliably. The quarterly sector includes services in the arts, sports, and entertainment. Also, with the right approach in Publishing and Broadcast, the world and behaviour can be shifted in the right direction.
240
Leadership Wealth & leadership are connected as wealth often is created due to leadership. So, there is a need for a responsible way of looking at how leaders are chosen. So, due to the bible verse, the light and thus the truth will get brighter and brighter during the time of the 1000-year Kingdom under Jesus Christ. There is a clear backing also heaven-wise. Wisdom comes from God. However, wisdom is often falsely connected to academic achievements. You may even have a Ph.D., but you still can be a person who is not wise. Wisdom is to make the right decisions, and this can be just done with a thorough understanding. By doing so, you also create a stable and warm atmosphere for the people you are responsible for and create a happy life for you and your
241
loved ones in the forefront. Many do the career thing because of the lack of other options and act as a destroying force, but not as a force people find good or want to follow. As outlined already, the reasoning for being in an extraordinary position can be traced back. However, the biggest problem of our times is that we have too many leaders, and often leaders, who do just half of the work or present solutions, which cannot be successful over the long term as they do not address the core of the issue. Furthermore, we have too many old leaders. God always chose leaders at the best age of man (around 30 – 45 years) to lead significant projects or tasks. As already outlined, too many leaders miss the big context of their doing, that is why the presented solutions are mostly short-lived. Thus, we need to get back to history and especially Theology to understand, see and learn why leadership was done differently in the past. In the future, there will be a major shift in the architecture of the world we live in. There will be an adjustment done to the architecture of the higher world (heaven), where ghost persons live. On the contrary to universal knowledge, there is security and validity in the architecture of heaven.
242
I want to present an analogy to history and also to heaven, why the current system and setup cannot work successfully. Today’s landscape is driven by people who indulge in political discussions; however, if no decision is being made or there is nobody who takes the screwdriver in his hand, something gets out of hand. One issue is that we have too many advisory companies and services. Due to the complexity of globalisation and the current issues we face, there is often not enough competence in the respective corporation or organisation in order to have a valid base for decisions. However, this current landscape results from bad decisions to be perfectly clear. Generally, a consultancy should be there for exceptional cases and not for standard work like hiring a manager or how to steer a company. The responsibility for steering a business is within the owner of the company. §14 of the basic law or constitution of the Federal Republic of Germany says, ‘Ownership obligates’, which means that appropriate management needs to be hired. The overall context needs to be factored in. ‘Its use shall at the same time serve the common good.’, is the second sentence of paragraph 2, which means that Wealth should not be misused on the back of the society rather than for the good of the society. The Evangelium and, thus, theological applicable current law have the same view.
243
In order to solve the issue at its core, we need way less political discussion and way fewer leaders; however, leaders with much more quality. Below, I constructed an analogy to history, where we need to go, and that we need to get back to trust and respect the wider public.
Without a stable and balanced wooden handle, a spear was not practical in the past. The steel socket and the spearhead were more massive and also heavier. Thus, it needed a balanced and lighter wooden handle in order to have a solid force respective war equipment. To translate it into our nowadays landscape, we need a stable and balanced social and working workforce. And this, we need to take it by heart. There is no valid backing in having an overworked just facing new challenges workforce because of the bad decisions by the so-called leaders.
244
The golden spearhead is a decisive part that needs to be executed diligently and decisively in an outstanding manner. The steel socket is the transmitter of both parts – the binding function – so that both parts harmonise together. In my new leadership construct, there will be just a handful of selected person leaders, but they will be real leaders. Wisdom will be incremental for the right judgement based on holistic knowledge. According to the theological foundation, wisdom comes directly coming from God. To be able to cope with the immense workload, they (leaders) should assign qualified secretaries, who do all the administrative work, a leader does not necessarily need to do. Instead, the focus should be on creating guidelines, simplifying structures, and easing the day-to-day work of the workforce. By doing this, the customer gets centred, as he can get the best possible product or service.
245
A leader should be chosen according to my published White Papers; by doing this, the correct people are chosen for the respective positions. This will safeguard a process where this kind of new breed of leadership personnel, who act within the legal framework (including the occupational health and safety act), that are nowadays constantly breached even by generic midsized companies in Germany. The workforce has to fulfil their work in the respective time frame by having a realistic approach. Generally, staffing should be done with an 80% - 90% efficiency rate. Why is this the case? Because people go on training, holiday, have sick leaves, or are on parental leave. This should be taken into consideration when doing the staffing and doing the plan for the workforce.
246
So, there will be a drastic decrease in arguments, disunity, and disagreements because my approach also requires leaders people can and want to identify with and want to follow. Then all aspects of leadership are covered— empathy, boldness, cleverness, and wisdom. If you are an expert, who is missing one or more of the above-mentioned characteristics, this is not a problem. Experts are also very important and should also have a higher ranking when it comes to salary. The purpose of leadership is not to exercise power on the back of people or the workforce. It is to exercise power for the people or workforce! History has shown that the first mentioned attempt will result in war! Therefore, it is also essential to define the success and compensation plan so that everyone knows what to do to climb up the ladder of success and how it is achieved. This being said, it needs to be honestly communicated in the forefront that extraordinary success can just be achieved by intrinsic power. Because it is the mind that has the real power to motivate each day to perform at the top level. The body is the tool. As outlined in my previous chapter, the body and thus ‘tool’ can be of different quality, which is based on the genes and history of the ancestors and thus family. That’s
247
why the family is of utmost importance because it is also the foundation of the capability to achieve outstanding results. Without this foundation, you cannot perform at the top level. Just having a strong mind is just half of the game. Success & Compensation In today’s world, we are living in postmodern times, where meta narratives and disinformation is acceptable and seen as a probate means or method to gain advantage over a competitor or a person. In sports, especially football, success, and winning can just be gained if a player accepts the rules of football set by FIFA, UEFA, or the local football association of the respective country. In business and politics, rules and regulations are not accepted anymore. Thus society and nature have to deal with immense problems, as we have too many people in very important positions who do not have the qualification (theoretically, practically, and personally) and the will and maybe neither the favour of God to change things for the good by accepting rules. How do we want to behave in society to make the planet a better world and still have competition? I will deliver a new way and a model of quantifying skills and personality by not being too overcomplicated so that
248
everyone can measure what it needs to climb up the ladder of success. We generally need to change fundamentally in order to be able to solve the immense challenges of nature and humanity. As a result, we must change our thinking, acting, and way of life. This needs to be done in such a way that we will not lose the happiness of life. No, my intention is that we start maximising life’s happiness by putting the lives of people and animals at the very top of achievement. Giving life, parenting and education are activities that deserve the utmost respect from everyone and are higher activities that cannot be put on a map. In the old times, before Christ, the very elite were either teachers or in the military. This demonstrates that the power of history should not be underestimated and that safety and progress are two of the most precious values. Art, entertainment, and music are higher arts and are a means to create a nice surrounding and a sound way of living. Activities and roles with regard to work and how success is measured can be put on a map. That is the reason why I created a model where this new way of revolutionary thinking is reflected, and the focus is clearly put on
249
generating a lasting positive effect on society, nature, and humanity.
Model of success and compensation [Values refer to Continental Europe and the base year 2022]:
Nowadays, we face the challenge that we have to deal with people whose intention is to create money on behalf of society and who are overloaded by the big context of their daily work. We need to reassure that the right and correct people are on the supervisory board, in the c-suite function, and at director level to make sure that the right decisions are being taken to make significant progress in our world. In order to be able to do this, excellent cultural competence is required. Furthermore, we need to accept that the Anglo-American superpower is the current mediator of
250
the Western world. Thus, the Anglo-American culture and language need to be applied perfectly to be able to act as a binding member of the wider global society. For holistic thinking and the ability to think abstractly, we need to start at the director level, having people who are demonstrable can master two subjects. The person needs to be able to develop people and set the right structures. In the decision-making functions of the c-suite-level or supervisory board, we need revolutionary persons in their thinking and acting. The clear goal has to be to generate a lasting positive effect on society and humanity. Furthermore, the respective person needs to be a role model for the wider society and a creator of good spirits. And we need leaders, people who want to follow and can and want to identify with. A leader who has no backing cannot be a leader. We need leaders to be bold and clear. We need leaders, to be honest, and not be afraid to tell the truth. What is the reason not to tell the truth? Is there any reason? If you need to lie, you are just not good enough or do not have the personality to be a leader! We urgently need to stop telling meta-narratives or lies, as we cannot afford anymore to act like this! Also, the Ten Commandments set out by God to Moses are still valid. You shall not lie was one of them. Still valid. 251
We need to start educating the young generation so that they can fill the gaps in modern leadership styles. To cope with massive upheavals, there is a need to think on a continental scale first and then globally. We need fewer leaders and decision-makers! But we need leaders and decision-makers who are making a significant difference! They should make the decisions. We will need a lot of people who are capable of applying, implementing, and realising this approach to make the world a better place where happiness and excitement are at the forefront of our life! The following overview describes in detail the professional place in our life and how progress can be made.
252
An honest and fair view is that sports stars, entertainers, and show stars are above the workforce as they have talents of higher art. The overview describes the reality and will be cemented even further to show transparency and motivate people to progress in the right way. This includes the fact that the payment of these three groups has no boundaries as the respective counter value is given. It should be mentioned that we all need to act with the principles of law. Immunity should be no excuse for breaking the law by purpose. Furthermore, even politicians and visionaries need to accept that there is one bracket above them. A very handful selected group of people which are the hands of God. These handful of selected people are the ‘hand of God’ to show His will and are also an ‘instrument’ to ground the highest leadership people. So that they know and feel that they are still ‘just’ humans, despite their high ranking. Moses, Jesus Christ, and Apostle Paul are three famous examples. Last but not least, it is the job of the respective statesmen to ensure that even people with a specialist salary can live with the respective salary and also can support a family with. This view is also supported when looking back at human 253
history. If this is not the case, the office has been executed quite badly. Actions speak louder than words. So, there is a drastic need to create solutions that meet this expectation. All people, depending on their status, need to show respect to people with a formal qualification or an assistant role as well. In the end, if there were no craftsmen anymore, something went fundamentally wrong. If this expectation is not met, the market effect will come into place, where people tend to climb up the ladder in order to be able to pay the bills and support the family. It is a simple natural effect. Due to the lack of craftsmen, the outcome is that many products, including housing, will get more expensive, and the spiral of upscaling labour costs will increase. My approach will lead to fewer decision-makers but to decision-makers having far better quality and a solid and stable workforce that is treated with respect. Agenda 2100 The last agenda which was put in place on a European landscape was the Agenda 2010 by Gerhard Schroeder. Also, there was a Spanish plan in the past, which outlined that the best must work for the Spanish state and not the
254
business service. Internationally, it is moaned that China has had great success in the past decades; however, this success is based on strategic thinking. Politics in the Western world, however, is blocked by short-term thinking, lobbyism, or, to say it, much bolder, legal corruption, and a saturation of the own success. Furthermore, due to World War I/II and colonialism, power and domination have been seen with a negative connotation. This has not helped shape the future with a broad, holistic strategy to put Europe’s or Germany’s values on paper at the forefront and have a realistic chance to promote and defend them on a global scale. We should not be naïve. Values can just be defended if we have strong arguments. Military, an educated population, and a strong workforce have been the base since humankind has existed. I want to present a strategy –Agenda 2100 – to put the entire World on the forefront by selecting seven decisive pillars to achieve the desired success by having a competition for the best positive success. Material Science As we will face the fight for commodities or even great wars for collecting valuable commodities in the future, there should be a focus on material science with an in-depth 255
research agenda. God has created the world with human flesh, populating it and not destroying it. He also has created renewable commodities that we can use for advanced life. One example. A German tyre manufacturer can nowadays already produce its tyres by using Russian dandelion. It is just one example of how we can substitute a product or a resource and still produce the same end product by making no compromises or even sacrifices in the quality of the end product. Furthermore, by using this approach, we generate a longlasting, sustainable effect for nature and society that is profitable at the same time. In the long run, it is even more profitable, as we do not create any costs in destroying nature and humankind, which cannot be measured in euros or dollars and cents. The focus should be on material science, material science, and material science. This work area has huge upside potential, which needs to be levered. Electrification of Things With the invention of the light bulb in the last years of the 19th century, a massive foundation was laid for increasing productivity. Electrification is at the forefront of humankind; however, it is still an undervalued method. Examples are many. Fossil fuels still fuel up cars. Diesel still 256
runs even some trains in Germany. This cannot be true with regard to this massive invention called electricity. Without being an engineer, I may say that it is well known that a diesel or fossil fuel-based engine has a physical efficiency of around 20%. Just in the peak time, there is a greater value, which is below 50%. It can be concluded that the efficiency is around 30% or maximally 40%. Electrification is a higher method, as the efficiency is much higher. According to some calculations of the Joachim Herz Foundation, it is clear that a drilling machine has an efficiency of over 60% by taking even the transmission or gearbox in the calculation, which is the reason for losing roughly 10% of its efficiency. Other sources claim that the efficiency of an engine run by electrification is around 90%. There is currently a test ongoing by a spin-off company from Munich University of Applied Sciences, which has managed to generate electricity from wave motion and achieved an energy yield of 93%. Thus, we do not need to discuss what is the best method or vehicle for generating power. We need to discuss how we can safely produce renewable energy in order to support this method. As already outlined previously, it is clear that solar, water power, and wind are the main elements to achieve that.
257
Also, there is a possibility to develop and build decentralised small power plants, where solar and wind power can be stored and used to lift or pump-up water upwards at night – when electricity is cheaper and not used so much – so that the water can fall down during the day in order to generate electricity where – and when it is needed. Furthermore, as already outlined, solar panels could also be installed on walls and facades, not just roofs. There is always a way to do it nicely. Efeu or other plants can also be used to implement urban farming within a city and make them greener with more oxygen. Urban Farming, in general, needs to be more factored in when it comes to real estate, as with an intelligent energy system, houses can be even CO2 positive. Digitalisation and the Erosion of the Middle Men Much has been written or said regarding this topic. Clearly, we need to progress in this way to achieve transparency and an open source and platform of information. Furthermore, easy tasks should be handled automatically. Also, digitalisation will help to cut out middlemen who do not offer real value to the producer and end customer. Digitalisation will help erase the middlemen, which is a primary factor for diluting information and adding costs to the end product. By doing this, the responsibility for 258
the end customer is back in the hands of the producer or originator of the service. Platforms will help to standardise processes and be an open source of information for comparability. A producer or a provider of service should know the product and be able to explain it to the end consumer and market it accordingly. Platforms will help with the small numbers problem in order to automate these orders. This will help to improve the efficiency of the economy and further release the human labour force, which will be much needed in other, more relevant industries. Furthermore, the released capital could be allocated in a way to support and speed up efficiency. Lingua Franca The lingua franca to create a better and more sophisticated understanding of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ is clearly English. Thus, the foci for producing scientific material or other important information should be in this language to leverage the outcome and results in these areas. Furthermore, as outlined in my chapter “Success & Compensation,” we no longer need academic personnel without profound English knowledge. Europe and the world must work together to shape a reliable and safe future. We need one language and no misunderstandings in creating that environment.
259
Law and Order Kindly see the Appendix ‘Law’. There is a higher law that will intervene more and more in the coming years, decades, and even centuries. Humanity, Animals, and Nature To be perfectly clear, nature has been created by God. Thus, nature should not be destroyed at all. It is a gift for humankind, and we should appreciate it and act accordingly. Humanity, animals, and nature are of higher deeds, as they have been constructed by God. Thus, profits need to have a lower standing or entitlement and cannot be generated on the back of humanity, animals, and nature. Infrastructure, Education, and Communities Infrastructure is key to generating a better world and connecting us. However, there is a need to be smart in doing it. A-list cities in the continental landscape should be connected via hyperloop technology in the future. Furthermore, we need to electrify all b-list and c-list cities with fast trains to the a-list cities. Thus, we create a network where we favour rail before the road. With this in mind, valuable resources will be saved significantly, and products and even services can be provided faster and more reliably. In the distant future, humankind will return to their roots, and seeing a person live will be more favourable again. Thus, 260
travelling will be a major activity for humanity, starting at the latest in 2050. Education, maintaining a high standard of living, and keeping innovation at the forefront will be key. It will help further to erode criminal activities and keep people on the good side of life. However, we will see more stars in the future. These are helpers of God and Jesus Christ to support the Kingdom and the will of God accordingly. Communities are an instrument for creating a livelihood for people. It will help generate a sound and life-supporting atmosphere where people enjoy living, feel safe, and are well taken care of. For example, young people prefer to live in communities such as shared living or via a full-service provider to have contact with other people and share moments of life. Providers of these lifestyles are sought after and will be demanded more in the future. Creating life clubs by having the same aptitude, vision, or way of living makes it easier to find friends with the same values and interests. These communities and life clubs will be increasingly important for creating networks and ideas or just having fun. So, investing in real estate company facilities can make a difference in attracting and maintaining talent and getting back loyalty. Furthermore, you can create your own atmosphere and company life club, where you can share your 261
values and get feedback if people identify with your company or are more mercenaries. This is important because the people who are with the heart at your place make a difference. The mercenaries can make a difference, too, but it is often short-lived, and the problems come with a time delay. So, when doing the full calculation, there is often a big minus when taking the delayed issues arising from the actions of the mercenaries into account. There will be a need for long-term thinking, especially for industrial companies with a heavily tangible asset-based business. The world will stay the world, so where the company feels comfortable, there should be a much broader investment case to get back to attractive company housing and commit to the region and area you are working in and producing your goods or offering your service. Due to the globalisation of information, there will be much faster reporting of misbehaviour (tax fraud, etc.), and the acceptance of the wider society will decrease more heavily. That is why in the future, people will also move to areas where their political thoughts are represented. For example, even conservative Germans move out of the country and live or set up their business elsewhere to live in a right-wing environment. These acts will increase massively in the 262
future. The US, especially Texas and Austria in Europe, will be states for right-wing people who want to set up a longterm life there. Investing in these areas will also lead to consequences, that the ideas and values of the society of this area need to be respected by the respective investor. As already outlined, the map before World War I will be a guideline for creating communities with the same mindset, especially in Europe. Therefore, first, an analysis of the values and goals of the investor and, thus respective company is necessary to find out how the company wants to place themselves in this new future of a bigger business and life. Agenda 2500 Agenda 2500 represents an epochal outlook till what I have written so far will be cemented. At that time, another historic epochal figure will come up and deliver new insights from heaven in order to fulfill the path till the end goal, the year 2945, in which the 1,000-year reign of Jesus Christ will end. Until the year 2500, we expect the quality of life to go remarkably upwards after 2045. Until 2045, humankind has to deal with immense problems and headwinds. However,
263
like in all good Hollywood movies, the good will win over the bad. There are a lot of stubborn and persistent deniers of the existence of God and Jesus Christ. Even the thinking that Satan is the bad guy is not correct. Even the Bible describes him as the Angel of Light. That underlines that we must deal with an immense amount of false information. This is also an embezzlement of the word of God, The Bible. So, there is a clear way to regain the favour of God and Jesus Christ to have a more enjoyable life on earth. We should not forget that the 7-card, the perfection card, is in the hands of Jesus Christ. Without him, there is no chance of getting to this perfection stage. From 2045, we will take quick steps in implementing my presented Agenda 2100. Until 2045, it is just a warp up and make preparations. After this year, we can expect massive positive support from heaven. I already outlined the reason why we need to wait. If there is blasphemous behaviour, God takes revenge! So, the trigger is to comply with God and Jesus Christ. The thinking is the start. That is why intrinsically motivated people are always more successful in the long run, as they do everything by their heart and not because of the success or money associated with it. 264
The second step is acting. Just believing without acting are empty acts. So, the belief needs backing. And that is the act. Thirdly, also the appearance makes a difference. It is the finish or, let’s say, the cream on the top. What is the cherry on top? I leave that to your imagination! What can we expect till the year 2500? The world will be reconstructed. All buildings will get emission-neutral or even emission positive as urban farming will come into the equation. Furthermore, beton streets or streets by bitumen will erode. There will be alternative ways to build roads from an environmental view, considering there are no cars in paradise. In the old days, people walked a lot. In the epic battle of the marathon, the messenger – Pheidippides – of the outcome of the famous battle could run around 245 km over two days after the war, mind you. I already addressed the fact that due to God’s punishments, humankind’s quality is decreasing. However, due to the blood of Jesus Christ, we can expect to go back in time! So, we no longer need the assistance and helpers of cars or glasses. These are helpers for the low quality of physique.
265
And we can expect that it will be a joy to walk and run 100 km by day as we can enjoy nature, talk to our followers and train our bodies. Consequently, we can also expect to look much better in the future! Trained legs and a trained body with an advanced spirit in mind. That is the real quality and value in the future! The quality of a human being! Like in the old times before Christ! Who defines the quality of a human being? The answer is easy. God! Furthermore, we will see a shift in globalisation and a shift in power. Before the existence of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ, there existed world powers. However, their area of influence has always been limited. God is favouring a world where everyone is responsible for themselves. That is why it is not his initial will that the United States have to do world policing and Germany has to invent a lot of the machinery and equipment used in today’s modern world. In every country, every individual is responsible for themselves. You need to work hard to get to the top, even if you have talent. The difference might be that the one with talent is outstanding, and the other is just good. If everyone takes responsibility for themselves, the world will have fewer problems. Theology supports this 266
view, as God says to lazy persons, ‘Go to the ant, you lazy one.’ On the other hand, people also have a chance to work for a better life. They need to be treated fair and receive fair payment. In the section of ‘Success & Compensation,’ there is a model which shows transparency, how you can work for success, and how it is currently renumerated. In the meantime, to get the old world – according to God’s will – there is a need to make sure this transition period is going to be duly carried out. Then it gets crystal clear where we are heading to. God has a will, and he makes sure, with every possible tactic or power, that his will, will be fulfilled. His will is clearly communicated in the Bible. The Earth, the blue planet, should be a paradise. And that is the goal and the task for human society to fulfil. So, in every decision, God’s standpoint and Will should be considered for making this project a success! There will be deindustrialisation from the start of the year 2100, as humanity will return to family and tribe thinking. This means that people with the same values, views, and language will locate next to each other. The outcome will be a more harmonised living as the arguments and twists will decrease heavily over time. The
267
focus for every human being will be to focus on God-given talents and to thrive with them. It will also be a spectacle in seeing humanity thriving and see heroic acts. Imagination is key in order to understanding the development of this world. There will be no Meta-verse. No hiding from reality is possible. There will be heaven for angels and the earth for humanity. Humanity will get the chance to get the order that Adam and Eve should do. Create and work out a plan and execute it accordingly to make the whole world a paradise. The Garden of Eden was – as the name indicates – a garden and, thus, a district of land. Those who want to join the mission and want to be part of this mission must need to cherish and value the thought of God and Jesus Christ! The overall construct is given. There is no discussion or room for negotiation. There is just the possibility of operating within this generous framework. All decisions need to be backed by the respective applicable law and the theological foundation. If you do not have the imagination, there will be limited time to gain them.
268
The Bible is the foundation! This book is the helping instrument to understand this holy book! Also, in 300 years, this book and the words will have the power and thus will serve as guidance for humankind! The prophecy that there will be new scripts is thus fulfilled. God makes sure that the prophecies laid out in the Bible are met and that humanity will get the information in time! The new ruler of the World will be more and more God! God has a strong will with a patriarchist leadership style. The possibility to participate in the decision-making process are the angels in heaven, who are the democratic element in his decisions. Also, important persons to Him on earth have the power to turn things around. Like in the old times, He will select kings who will rule over the world to fulfil his will! The Bible book of Judges reveals that the juristic approach to generating justice was also sought after in the old days of Israel before a kingdom was installed. According to the theological foundation and history, Saul was the first King of Israel and thus set up a new construct of values and leadership. This also includes – by deriving the information provided – that also a new construct of law was established. This is important, as we nowadays also are within a time frame where justice is done by Judges. However, the

Kingdom of Jesus Christ is speaking about princes and, thus, little kings who will rule the world in his kingdom. That means that the power will shift to strong individuals, which will have more of a historic leadership approach in mind and thus lead and execute power in analogy to the kings of Israel and execute the power and leadership according to the will of Jesus Christ and God. This will happen exactly all over again. It is also revenge from God, as like in Judges revealed rape, slaughter, and murder were accepted and not really fought against it. The revenge was that through the erosion of the judicial system towards a system of kings, fairer jurisdictions could be achieved. One famous example is King Solomon’s historic decision on which a mother should get the desired child. That is why the plan and execution of Jesus and God’s will to install princes and little kings as future world leaders are advanced thinking and have a higher reason. To close the circle in the question posed at the beginning of my book. The famous apple of the Garden of Eden. It was a simple order by God not to eat from the fruit. The dispute behind was, if God is the rightful owner and commander over humanity?
270
God has invented humankind. Jesus, his Son, was manufacturing it. We learn three things from it. 1. The inventor always has more knowledge than the manufacturer. 2. God thus knows more about humankind as he has not constructed humankind to have the power, knowledge, and wisdom to rule over themselves and the world. 3. Sometimes questions or tasks seem easy to answer or easy to execute. However, to answer some questions properly or do tasks perfectly is written on another piece of paper. I hope the reader understands now why we live in these circumstances, and that injustice will be fought against heaven-wise more and more in the future. Focus on your life and strengths and not on money. During my time at a leading German private bank, I learned that money is paper whose value is defined by the respective central bank. That is why on a 20 pound sterling banknote, it is printed “20 pound sterling against the bearer of the Bank of England”. So, the value of the money is given by the central bank. The values I mentioned cannot be valued by a central bank. There are higher values that a central bank cannot issue. 271
The issuer is God through Jesus Christ! I wish the reader a happy and content life! Yours, Philipp.

Legal Notice For all those concerned about law and justice, it should be noted that the author believes that human dignity is inviolable. However, human dignity is somewhat broader than applied in practice. Maslow’s pyramid of needs gives a good indicator that human beings have a right to relationship, family, and shelter. This includes the fact that exploitative working conditions and prostitution, which are not in the luxury sector, are against the dignity of the human being. Legal entities, natural persons, or organisations that unconsciously or consciously undermine this right work against human dignity. It should also be noted that according to §323 of the criminal code, failure to render assistance and obstruction of persons rendering assistance are also punishable in the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany. Furthermore, according to the constitution at the German state level (Art. 52, Basic Rights in Court), it is clearly regulated that all people are equal before the court and are entitled to a legal hearing. Thus, the representations made are a fundamental right and extremely important, as they do not make use of the generally accepted practice of 273
concealment, whitewashing, or even evasion of facts, which could also be construed as fraudulent misrepresentation under the Criminal Code. Such a practice would amount to criminal fraud. God’s laws are clearly defined and communicated in the Old Testament. As stated in my remarks, the Bible is a generic term for interrelated writings, whereby a mere focus on the New Testament does not represent the completeness or even the whole truth. Through my clear demonstration that God takes vengeance on individuals, communities, peoples, or even an entire state, it is a duty to make my knowledge available to the general public in order to point out this fact. Heads of state in the Western world take an oath: “So help me, God!” This implies that the persons holding this office should also, according to their oath, actively incorporate God’s point of view into their work and clearly represent this point of view. Otherwise, God cannot pour out His blessings on the said persons, but allows them to be bestowed on others!
274
Important Notice Women In the past, the view and behaviour of women have drastically changed to the bad and can be described mostly as blasphemous behaviour nowadays. God and Jesus Christ still see man as the crown of human creation. Eve and thus women have been constructed as a helping hand to man. They further have a decorative role. The Man is responsible for the income and material needs. The Man is always the head of the family and has to make the decisions. Women can help their man and consult them in order to form an opinion. Women clearly should be subordinate to their husbands. Apostle Paul had just the view that he preferred women who were not too flashy in their looks. However, he also favoured pretty girls. I mention this because many think Apostle Paul said women should dress ugly and not care for themselves. Clearly not. The difference is that God favours absolutely astonishing women and focuses more on the looks. Jesus Christ has more favour for women with good hearts. But also, like every man
275
– and he is the Son of God – is favouring women with decent looks and behaviour. Apostle Paul also favours women with nice looks; however, he prefers more understatement. Man incorporates all the first and second roles of leadership in heaven. This will not change. A woman has the function of giving birth to children. She is the natural primary contact person for the children and thus has the function of caring for them. The household is in the hands of the women, too. Apostle Paul also corrected this seems to be a small item; however, it is an important factor in daily life. The Man is not cleaning the house or cooking. It is the responsibility of the wife and women. Jesus had just the view that the wife should not solely concentrate on the household captured in the incident with Marta. However, also Jesus has directionally the same view as his Father. It was and still is God’s order: ‘Go and help him!’ and that humankind should reproduce themselves. Respecting and loving women and that women also respect and love their man is the basis for all that. If the basis is not given, then also no base for marriage is being given.
276
If someone has enough money, a housekeeper can be instructed with all this work. Man Why are many women favouring the bad guys? Well, looking at my relativity theory of every human being, the ‘Military Element’ should not be underestimated. Within the financial and capital markets, there is often the acronym ‘Animal Spirits’ when nothing is happening, and the market needs to develop and rise. Therefore, the market participants are going back to the base of humanity and focussing on the essentials. This is also an aspect of safety. When everything fails, women need to rely on their husbands and man. So, he needs to show that he is capable of defending women and children. So, this is an entirely normal natural effect. There was recently an article in the German newspaper that a female Latin judge got undressed and even half-naked during a trial in South America. So, we learn the military element can be quite hot for women. Nowadays, the world is too focused on IT and other related stuff. That is against human nature and also leads to a lower quality of humankind when having the view of nature and thus God.
277
Marriage This is a huge topic, and nobody seems to understand what is really written in the Bible. Jesus Christ said that his followers should just marry in the name of the Lord. The Lord is, in this respect Jesus Christ and not God. Thus, all Christians can marry each other. So, religion is not important. It is important that the other half is Christian or believes in Jesus Christ, too, no matter what Christian religion you belong to—believing means always acting according to the Theological Foundation. When you are with God, he will care for you and make sure you will get to know your future wife. It is important that always the man or a servant was looking for a wife on behalf of the man. So, the girl gets chosen by the man and not vice versa. This is very important for God. When God was part of the bride show, he made sure that the girl was very beautiful. As he is God, he cannot accept a second-class result as he wants his name and position to be glorified. God is first class and can never be second class! Furthermore, there is no endless get-to-know phase needed. Love and marriage from first sight come from God. Straight to the bed, too, when reading the Old Testament. Furthermore, endless marriage ceremonies are also not coming from God. The marriage ceremony is the sexual act. 278
Also, people clearly belonging to him need to be treated first class; otherwise, God can see it as an affront to him! Or could you imagine someone would have treated Moses not nicely? It must be abstracted from this that sometimes people are deliberately pushed down and humiliated by God to show them who the real boss is! Travelling Why do you need an official invitation to be able to apply for a VISA in Russia? Because, normally, this is how it is done when visiting another country. You need to be a desired person with desired interests to enter the country. This should be a guideline for how travelling and tourism should be seen in the future. The borders and the respective local laws need to be respected. Tourism is a meaningful act to get to know people and country and should also be economically seen that way. Respecting the environment (nature) means no private jets until emission-free flying can be achieved, considering Jesus Christ’s view. Heads of States, Military, and extraordinary people, which are clearly acting on behalf of God and Jesus Christ, are excluded.
279
Migration When migrating to another country, respecting the law and traditions of the respective land is essential. Also, the language and codex of that country should be considered. Also, when migrating, it should be questioned if you are actually culturally the right fit for the country. Religion God told the builder in command of Moses of the famous Arcade of the Covenant to decorate it with two golden Cherubim. This part of the Bible is of utmost importance as it means that to please and worship God can just be accepted by him if two golden Cherubs are the transmitter to him. Like in my presented overview, Cherubs and Seraphs are closest to God so they can talk to him. Satan, also a Cherub, is speaking on behalf of the angels. So just being an angel is not good enough to be able to talk to God directly. Resulting from this, Moses was a Cherub or Seraph in God’s eyes, as he was – only to be allowed – to talk to God directly. I am sure Moses died before entering the Promised Land to live as a Cherub or Seraph Angel in heaven. The priest should have the utmost quality to be a representative of God. As shown in the Bible, God selects his personnel on His own. And everyone can clearly see this.
280
After Jesus Christ, there is just one incident known, where however Jesus Christ, on behalf of God, Paulus lashed down. Priests of the Churches where Jesus Christ is at the centre point of their worship should consider God said that he alone should be worshiped. The New Testament is basically representing Deuteronomy 28, just in a nice and compelling way. However, the content is the same. That is why there cannot be so many religions. There cannot be clueless priests, also. The clueless priest always got a very hard punishment to show them their failure in the Old Testament. God also advised that Priests should do their work fulltime and get money for it to do their job with the highest possible quality standard. This also means that the people need to come to the Priests office, not vice versa. According to the Theological Foundation, the high priest in heaven nowadays till the year 2945 is Jesus Christ. That is why he is the one who is an intermediary between God and humankind. All Priests, therefore, have to subordinate to him but should never forget and always consider that God is the centre point of their worship and also need to respect the position of God, which can be found in the Old Testament. 281
It should be further noted that there is no clear order that worship should be done. In the Old Testament, worship was done by the priests for the society. Just the priest could enter the holy halls. If someone else entered them, God said, they should be killed. This means that God favours a high-quality service from his priest for society. They should communicate to God and thus Jesus Christ nowadays, inform and admonish society, and give realistic advice that could also be applied in practice. Murder Murder needs to be seen in a broader context. God also recognises murder when it is done indirectly. The insight in the heavenly congregation has shown that sometimes Satan and also Jesus Christ get permission or have a free hand when it comes to killing or murdering a selective group of people. However, also cherubim act just on the order of God. Thus, just God, Satan, and Jesus Christ are allowed to kill people. Full security is just in the hands of God. Whoever kills someone can expect the same punishment from God. Just kings can expect possible forgiveness. However, it is associated with high costs. King David got a draconian sentence from God when sending a special soldier in the first row during wartime, so he got killed for sure so 282
he could take his beautiful wife. It further needs to be considered that God loved King David. This implies that for most people, murder will never be forgiven! This should always be considered when deciding on a larger carrying scale. Holy Spirit Another sin that will never be forgiven is the sin against the ‘Holy Spirit.’ The Holy Spirit is often represented by an invisible angel, who is sent from heaven and is directing its way. Often it is very clear, what the person should do, so if the person intentionally does exactly the opposite, it is a sin against the Holy Spirit. The people will know when they have committed this sin even if they deny it. Jesus will let them know when they have done this kind of sin. Sin Against Nature and God Blasphemy, clear acts against nature, and destroying nature by purpose are sins against God. I say this with this insistence as God created planet Earth. He will seek revenge for all people and organisations who purposely damage and pollute its planet (Isaiah 24 and Revelation 9). The punishment is even harder than against the Holy Spirit. For reference, see the impact and effects of the sin of Garden of Eden and the murder and death of Jesus, his son.
283
God will never allow the earth and the creatures (humankind, animals, plants, etc.) to be destroyed! It should further be mentioned that the storage of CO2 in the ground is an impertinence. Would you dig a hole in your garden for your rubbish, dispose of it there and then dig the hole up again? Housing A two-bedroom flat with approximately 50 qm² is around 1.500 EUR, including side costs in Continental Europe. A specialist salary after tax and, thus, the net income is around the same value. Therefore, with this salary, you can ‘afford’ to rent a two-bedroom flat but not to buy yourself food, etc. Globalisation has made the rich richer and the lowest third of the pyramid poorer. Even the academic personnel lost when recognising what you get for the money you earn. Subsidising the rents with tax money makes it even worse because the market effect would normally assume that nobody will rent these flats anymore, and rents would decrease. Furthermore, the minimum living space per person is around 40 qm², adding 20 qm² for every person in the
284
household. A kitchen and bathroom should be part of this calculation. Order & Cleanliness God is a God of Order & Cleanliness. He hates disorder and mess. God is a person of clear order. He is not in the discussion business. Jesus Christ has a similar leadership style to his fellow apostles. It is really important to God that the Ten Commandments are still active. When you wash even the dirtiest plates with very hot or boiling water, everything is clean. Why do commercials and chemical companies advertise a different view? Why can the sun – solely the sun – remove stains? Globalisation Globalisation was never God’s will after the incident in the Garden of Eden. Problems and further issues are shifted most to countries that do not have the power to defend themselves, and a constant war (economically and socially) results from this act. God values all kinds of people. However, it must also be said that some states and some people are more in God’s
285
favour than others, but this should be no excuse for acts against the weaker side. The heads of state have the responsibility in front of God for their respective state and people first. Covering mistakes with migration was never a success in history and is not God’s will. For some people, migration is allowed. However, mass migration has never worked successfully. History has also shown that invading or conquering the Asian continent has always failed or led to war. The Bible speaks with respect to the king of the north and the south. Thus, the world is divided heaven-wise. The border of the king of the south is the American continent with Oceania, North Africa, with the border being Cameroon till Ethiopia, Istanbul, and the current war on the Ukrainian border. The other parts of the world belong to the King of the North. It is basically a war between Jesus Christ (King of the South) and Satan or his deputy (King of the North). That is why relationships, business, and trade should be done in the area of the respective King. Other interactions will never succeed fully until God has full control of the World after the year 2945. I strongly recommend all persons in the decision-making function consider this.
286
There is a reason why the Israelites left Egypt. There is a reason why Alexander the Great failed to invade the Asian continent. There is a reason why and where the border was of the Mongolian empire of Genghis Khan. There is a reason why the Germans under Adolf Hitler failed to invade Russia and why Russia failed to hold the territory in East Germany. There is also a reason why Christianity has failed in succeeding over the respective mentioned border so far by recognizing that Islam is the main religion in North Africa. However, the colonies of the European countries before the 20th century show that North Africa belongs more to the King of the South. World War III is not planned heaven-wise. That it is important to stick to the recommendations set out by me. The wisdom from heaven is always higher than the wisdom of human nature. There is also a reason why I know all this, and nobody has seen this all the way down in human history so far! Russia, in this respect, has a special status. God directly has control over the biggest country by area. God has constructed the world. He would never give away the biggest district and give it to someone else. Also, considering that Russian ladies are the most beautiful girls in the world. This is coming from God. Also, the power system with one very 287
strong patriarchist leader and very powerful oligarchs represents heaven’s leadership style and organigram. The environment of the top three and top fifteen in heaven is like when Donald J. Trump opens up about a phone call with Kim Jong-un. “You know, I confronted Kim Jong-un, and all of a sudden, I got a call. I have a red button on my desk, meaning a nuclear button. I said I have a red button on my desk, too, but it is bigger and stronger than yours. And mine works.” “The constructed button by me is also larger and stronger! And it works pretty fine, too!”
