How much better is it to get wisdom than gold!
and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver! Proverbs 16:16
It's time you knew what's really going on.

25 For I know that my redeemer liveth,
and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:
26 And though after my skin worms destroy this body,
yet in my flesh shall I see God:
Job 19:25-26
9 The thing that hath been,
it is that which shall be;
and that which is done is that which shall be done:
and there is no new thing under the sun.
10 Is there any thing whereof it may be said,
See, this is new?
it hath been already of old time, which was before us.
11 There is no remembrance of former things;
neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come
with those that shall come after.
15 That which hath been, is now;
& that which is to be hath already been;
& God requireth that which is past
Ecclesiastes 1:9-11;3:15.
Let's Re-think What It Really Says
I've explained elsewhere that after the repercussions I experienced for having attempted to bring Codex Alimentarius to public scrutiny 6 years ago, I realized that the biblical prophesies were actually coming to pass. Although I had read the bible through by the time I was 16, I left the Christian faith at age 17 & spent most of my adult life as an atheist. When I finally re-read the word 6 years ago I just sat down & read through it quickly, as one would read a novel. The advantages in reading it this way are enormous-the most important being that you immediately become aware of the fact that the bible is a cohesive prophetic work. The prophesies that discuss our future history do NOT begin & end in the book of Revelation. They actually begin in the book of Genesis! I'll just provide you with a few examples of what I mean:
Genesis 3:14,15
14-And the LORD God said unto the serpent....
15-I will put enmity between thee & the woman,
& between thy seed & her seed;
it shall bruise they head,
& thou shalt bruise his heel.
(Scholars understand that this passage prophesied how the woman's seed, Christ,
would bruise the head of Satan
& indeed it came to pass.)
Numbers 24:14,17
the prophet Balak to the Moabites:
14....and I will adertise thee what this people shall do to thy people in the latter days.
17.....there shall come a Star out of Jacob,
& a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel,
& shall smite the corners of Moab....
Deuteronomy 4:30
Moses speaking to the Israelites:
When thou art in tribulation,
& all these things are come upon thee,
even in the latter days,
if thou turn to the LORD thy God,
& shalt be obedient to his voice....
Deuteronomy 31:29
Moses speaking to the Israelites:
For I know that after my death ye will utterly corrupt yourselves,
& turn aside from the way which I have commanded you;
& evil will befall you in the latter days....
Deuteronomy 32:29
Moses speaking the words of God to the Israelites:
O that they were wise,
that they understood this,
that they would consider their latter end!
Of course there are many, many more such examples throughout the Old Testament, especially throughout the later prophets. The book of Daniel contains major prophesies that foretold both the first coming of Christ as well as events to take place in the latter day period. I encourage you to read it for yourselves.
At this point, however, I'd like to review the scriptures with which I opened this page taken from the book of Job:
25 For I know that my redeemer liveth,
and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:
26 And though after my skin worms destroy this body,
yet in my flesh shall I see God:
Job 19:25-26
These scriptures are of particular importance since most biblical scholars believe that Job is the oldest of the biblical texts. Yet, you can see that Job himself was well aware of the latter day period. There are many issues raised by these scriptures that are simply not being addressed in today's institutional churches. I'll list them below:
-
If the Old Testament saints had no hope of eternal life, why does Job speak of his latter day redeemer?
-
How could Job possibly believe that he would actually see God 'in the latter day'?
-
Why did Job say that although his then-present body would decay, he would nonetheless have a body of flesh when he finally saw God in that latter day?
The bible supplies the answer to all these questions. What I am going to do is simply list the scriptures that led me to my 'aha' moment & hopefully you will be able to see 'it' too. Here goes:
I have made a covenant with my chosen,
I have sworn unto David my servant,
Thy seed will I stablish for ever,
& build up thy throne to all generations. Selah.
27-Also I will make him my firstborn,
higher than the kings of the earth.
28-My mercy will I keep for him for evermore,
& my covenant shall stand fast with him.
29-His seed also will I make to endure for ever,
& his throne as the days of heaven.
Psalm 89:3-4,27-29
5 But he shall say ,
I am no prophet, I am an husbandman ;
for man taught me to keep cattle from my youth.
(Amos spoke these words about himself in Amos 7:14)
6 And one shall say unto him,
What are these wounds in thine hands?
Then he shall answer ,
Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.
(Of course, these words would be spoken by Christ & the 'house' of his friends would refer to Jerusalem.)
Zechariah 13:5-6
Isaiah 22:20-25
20 And it shall come to pass in that day,
that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah:
21 And I will clothe him with thy robe, and strengthen him with thy girdle,
and I will commit thy government into his hand:
and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
and to the house of Judah.
22 And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder;
so he shall open, and none shall shut;
and he shall shut, and none shall open.
23 And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place;
and he shall be for a glorious throne to his father's house.
24 And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father's house,
the offspring and the issue,
all vessels of small quantity, from the vessels of cups, even to all the vessels of flagons.
25 In that day, saith the Lord of hosts, shall the nail that is fastened in the sure place be removed,
and be cut down, and fall;
and the burden that was upon it shall be cut off:
(at the crucifixion)
for the Lord hath spoken it.
Revelation 3:7
(speaking of Christ)
7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write;
These things saith he that is holy, he that is true,
he that hath the key of David,
he that openeth, and no man shutteth;
and shutteth, and no man openeth;
Haggai 2:22-23
22 And I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms,
and I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the heathen;
and I will overthrow the chariots, and those that ride in them;
and the horses and their riders shall come down,
every one by the sword of his brother.
23 In that day, saith the Lord of hosts, will I take thee,
O Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel, saith the Lord,
and will make thee as a signet:
for I have chosen thee, saith the Lord of hosts.
Hosea 3:5
5 Afterward shall the children of Israel return,
and seek the Lord their God,
and David their king;
and shall fear the Lord and his goodness in the latter days.

13-But the angel said unto him,
Fear not, Zacharias:
for thy prayer is heard;
& thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son,
& thou shalt call his name John.
17-And he shall go before him in the spirit & power of Elias (Elijah).
Luke 1:13,17
7 And he said unto them,
What manner of man was he which came up to meet you,
and told you these words?
8 And they answered him, He was an hairy man,
and girt with a girdle of leather about his loins.
And he said, It is Elijah the Tishbite.
2Kings 1:7-8
And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair,
and a leathern girdle about his loins....
Matthew 3:4
Matthew 17:10-13
10 And his disciples asked him, saying,
Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come?
11 And Jesus answered and said unto them,
Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things.
12 But I say unto you, That Elias (Elijah) is come already, and they knew him not,
but have done unto him whatsoever they listed.
Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them.
13 Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.
Matthew 17:1-3
after John's death:
And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother,
and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,
2 And was transfigured before them:
and his face did shine as the sun,
and his raiment was white as the light.
3 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him.

Mark 12:26-27
Christ speaking:
26 And as touching the dead, that they rise:
have ye not read in the book of Moses,
how in the bush God spake unto him, saying,
I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?
27 He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living:
ye therefore do greatly err.

John 8:56
Christ speaking:
Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad.
In closing, please allow me to make one thing absolutely clear-
While repeating lives are unquestionably biblical,
this in no way corroborates the Oprah mantra that there are many paths to the SAME goal.
There is only ONE path to life ETERNAL & that is through Christ.
His mission was to release humanity from the misery of Karmic debt & recycling.
While the inheritance belonging to the kingdom of his priests & kings
is exclusive to the house of Israel,
the divine gift of karmic release through the forgiveness of sins
is for ALL of humanity.
You must seriously ask yourselves why this understanding has been withheld
from the vast majority of believers.
Neither is there salvation in any other:
for there is none other name under heaven given among men,
whereby we must be saved.
Acts 4:12
