Today,
reply is on the divine use of human agents, sacred events, and
anointed spokespersons to communicate with, and maintain ongoing
relationships among created beings and living creatures. GOD, who
has put forth existence, life, and the universe as a sphere that
contains divine presence, is a spirit, and manifests through
elements that, in sum, are ineffable, invisible, and unspeakable
using language and utterance of the flesh. Sacred knowledge
must address more than merely earthly or spiritual authority,
majesty, and splendor; eternal eminence, exaltation, and perfection
also must be acknowledged and articulated. In the same way those who
entered into covenant with GOD through the appearance of Moses and
Aaron as prophet and priest, followers of Jesus Christ are to receive
apostles, evangelists, and teachers sent from GOD. A fighter in the
“Yahoo! Answers” public forum on Religion and Spirituality, who

Isnt
it strange that god communicated through books and prophets instead
of direct communication?
Almost
as if he doesnt exist and people serve as his interpreters to control
everyone else.
THE
GOLDEN ARROW: Hear another parable: There was a certain
householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and
digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to
husbandmen, and went into a far country: And when the time of the
fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they
might receive the fruits of it. And the husbandmen took his
servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.
Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto
them likewise. But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying,
They will reverence my son. But when the husbandmen saw the son,
they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him,
and let us seize on his inheritance. And they caught him, and cast
him out of the vineyard, and slew him. When the lord
therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those
husbandmen? They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those
wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other
husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons.
Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone
which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the
corner: this is the Lord’s
doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? Therefore say I unto you,
The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation
bringing forth the fruits thereof. And whosoever shall fall on this
stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will
grind him to powder. (Matthew 21: 33-44, King James Version, KJV)

“The
Dajjal”, in the same way Donald Trump as President of the United
States addresses public statements to all Americans, yet, will not
appear personally in the home of every voter, GOD will have rule
throughout the universe, and will not appear in a material form to
every individual. Communicating with GOD is not the same as
communicating with ones next door neighbor. Among Christian
believers, it is not strange or unrighteous that divine fullness (we
also say, the Creator; the GODhead; the Father, the Son, the Holy
Spirit) uses specific sacred operations (e.g., Incarnation, prophecy,
rebirth, resurrection, revelation, visitation), formal structure
(division of labor, hierarchy, ranks), sanctified tools (e.g.,
praise, prayer, worship), and anointed spokespersons for
communicating with, and maintaining relationships that are meaningful
to created beings and living creatures.
More
than simply the feelings, thoughts, and personhood of divinity must
be expressed. The living also must apprehend awe (i.e., the
awesomeness of GOD; the fear of the Lord); certainty; completeness;
grace; immortality; immutability; incorruptibility; integrity;
“oneness” without “sameness”; divine prerogative; purity;
eternal purpose; and sovereign will. Through operations by the Holy
Spirit sinners are enabled to receive a fresh endowment of the life
essence (we also say, breath, spirit, word) that was imparted to
mankind at Creation from the makeup of GOD. Inseparable aspects of
divinity must be internalized within the living. Included are faith,
forbearance, holiness, longsuffering, lovingkindness, righteousness,
wisdom, and wrath against sin.
When
GOD proclaimed and spoke the Ten Commandments directly to those who
left Egypt with Moses that were seeking the benefits and protection
of a covenant relationship with the GOD who had overthrown Pharaoh,
the people became awestruck and terrified. Overwhelmed by what they
heard with their ears and felt throughout their own bodies—the
voice of GOD echoing and vibrating within their own person—they
begged that GOD would remain silent; and agreed to accept the
covenant where GOD would speak directly only to Moses, or send other
prophets. Thus, the process of conveying covenant law now correctly
is one that uses human consciousness and self-will along with
mankind’s finite tools for
communication to display, embody, and transmit the expressed will of
GOD. Consider again the following that uses language from the Bible:
(1.)
Deuteronomy 4: 10-12, King James Version (KJV): 10 Specially
the day that thou stoodest before the LORD thy
God in Horeb, when the LORD said unto me, Gather
me the people together, and I will make them hear my words, that they
may learn to fear me all the days that they shall live upon the
earth, and that they may teach their children. 11 And ye came
near and stood under the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire
unto the midst of heaven, with darkness, clouds, and thick darkness.
12 And the LORD spake unto you out of the midst
of the fire: ye heard the voice of the words, but saw no
similitude; only ye heard a voice.
(2,.)
Deuteronomy 5: 23-28, KJV: 23 And it came to pass, when ye heard
the voice out of the midst of the darkness, (for the mountain did
burn with fire,) that ye came near unto me, even all the heads
of your tribes, and your elders; 24 And ye said, Behold, the LORD
our God hath shewed us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard
his voice out of the midst of the fire: we have seen this day that
God doth talk with man, and he liveth. 25 Now therefore why should
we die? for this great fire will consume us: if we hear the voice of
the LORD our God any more, then we shall die. 26
For who is there of all flesh, that hath heard the voice of
the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we have,
and lived? 27 Go thou near, and hear all that the LORD
our God shall say: and speak thou unto us all that the LORD
our God shall speak unto thee; and we will hear it, and do it.
28 And the LORD heard the voice of your words,
when ye spake unto me; and the LORD said unto me,
I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they have
spoken unto thee: they have well said all that they have spoken.
(3.)
Deuteronomy 18: 15-20, KJV: 15 The LORD thy
God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy
brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken; 16 According to
all that thou desiredst of the LORD thy God in
Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the
voice of the LORD my God, neither let me see this
great fire any more, that I die not. 17 And the LORD
said unto me, They have well spoken that which they have
spoken. 18 I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren,
like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall
speak unto them all that I shall command him. 19 And it shall come
to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which
he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him. 20 But
the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I
have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of
other gods, even that prophet shall die.
There
is far more that should be said, correctly examined, and spiritually
apprehended. (For example, (4.) Ephesians 4: 10-15, KJV: 10 He
that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all
heavens, that he might fill all things.) 11 And he gave some,
apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some,
pastors and teachers; 12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the
work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 13
Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of
the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature
of the fulness of Christ: 14 That we henceforth be no more
children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of
doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness,
whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15 But speaking the truth in
love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even
Christ:) Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto
you according to your faith.
