The Assumption of Paul

In The Illusions of Assumptions John 16:2 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service. Paul did not realize his mistake until he was blinded while on his way to kill more Believers.

After his conversion Paul became very aware of the illusions that fables and false doctrines can produce. He was very aware of how your assumptions can become a very powerful tool for the wicked. He was aware of how they can be used to control and manipulate the masses. This is why he tries to warn future Believers in 2 Timothy 4:3-4 (For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4   And they shall turn away [their] ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.) and Titus 1:14 Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth. Paul new that future Believers were bound to make the same assumptions and therefore make the same mistakes. He himself had been captivated by many of these fables. He himself had taught them to other people.

Now let us take a look at one of today's biggest assumption, and let us see how it creates an almost impenetrable field of illusion. A majority of the end time assumptions are predicated on this fable of rapture. Many believers have come to believe that the tribulation cannot start, the Final Great Gentile Leader (Anti-Christ) will not come to power, and Messias will not arrive until certain Believers have disappeared magically into the clouds. You cannot even begin to fathom the amount of damage this assumption has created. Without your realisation, this fable has succeeded in creating a huge sense of complacency and a false sense of security amongst those who claim to believe. Just think about it; If you are not going to be here for the tribulation, why should you make preparations? Why should you look for the Messias? Why should you look for that Gentile Leader (Antichrist)?

This theory of course is promulgated and promoted by those in power. They use it to sell books and to make their filthy money, while those who are seduced are being prepared for the slaughter (Isaiah 65:12, Jeremiah 50:27 ). It is a feel good story, and a doctrine which appeals to the vanity of many. It tickles the ears and makes many believe that one day that all of their problems will disappear as they head into the clouds. It has been used to convince many of their own righteousness and goodness. After all they are special. Everyone else must suffer through hardship and pain, but not them. They are better than Noah, Lot, Daniel, Paul, and all of the other prophets who had to suffer through their days of tribulation.

Unfortunately today's Believers have succeeded in repeating Israel and Paul's past mistakes. They have formed an image of God, Messias, and the world based on false assumptions. These false assumptions are now embedded in their doctrines and therefore in their psyches. They have succeeded in creating an alternate world that does not match God's present reality. And in the process they have become the enemies of the LIVING GOD. Everything has changed. Because of these assumptions they have embraced the evil and eschewed the good. They have corrupted their ways and in the process have sealed their destinies. Woe unto them for good is now considered evil and evil is now considered good! Woe unto them whose hearts have hardened, for they refuse to change course and they refuse to repent! Woe unto them whose filthy imaginations have led them to follow after false gods! Woe unto them who hate the truth and love the lie!

The Kingdom of God is coming into being even as we write. It is suffering violently but it will grow and it will consume all other kingdoms. Woe unto those who have tried to stop it!

"The Truth can be a bitter pill to swallow, but its healing powers are immeasurable"

"The Two Books Are One"

Malachi 2:17 Ye have wearied the LORD with your words. Yet ye say, Wherein have we wearied [him]? When ye say, Every one that doeth evil [is] good in the sight of the LORD, and he delighteth in them; or, Where [is] the God of judgment?

Isaiah 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

Jeremiah 4:22 For my people [is] foolish, they have not known me; they [are] sottish children, and they have none understanding: they [are] wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.

Jeremiah 13:10 This evil people, which refuse to hear my words, which walk in the imagination of their heart, and walk after other gods, to serve them, and to worship them, shall even be as this girdle, which is good for nothing.

Psalms 38:20 They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries; because I follow [the thing that] good [is].

Of course we are to prepare. Just because we have salvation it doesn't mean we can just go out there and do whatever whenever. We still have to do our best to live according to Christ's teachings.
