It is at "the resurrection of the dead" that death is swallowed up in victory, and not one second earlier
- what is happening to death
now? –
Every page of truth written and displayed by BT through Ray Smith and Dennis Vogel facilitating the delivery of Gods light to our eyes and hearts, is lighting our way out of the dark lies of Babylon that is lifting, healing, restoring our souls and minds to come closer to the wholeness and sanity of Christ. Is this not a type of resurrection? We stand against the lies, we know we can not join in with our oppressors, we realize that we do not persecute others, we remain unfazed against envy and fear that opposes us as we are nurtured by His Spirit to see Him more clearly and understand, recognize and agree with the Truth of His Spirit and Love. There are only a few of us.
The Spirit of Christ within is alive, stirring, rising up, is not dormant or inactive, but is preparing a people for His Kingdom. How far God has taken us and how near He draws us to when…He, God,..
Rev 21:4 … God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.It makes sense that the “former things” that are to “pass away” will occur at the resurrection of the dead and as Ray expresses, not one second earlier. So the process to this end has begun.
We accept that we have to experience Revelations in our own experience. We concede that God is going to burn away false doctrines and errors out of us with His purging Spiritual Fire. Yet, we see that the Apostate Church system has advanced, not declined in wicked subtleties. We know that God is causing the heightened evil in the world that is expressed in the sorrow Paul recorded when he cried for three years due to the sight of wolves coming in who would not spare the flock and Timothy who warns us of easy doctrines leading many astray.
Yet, this apostasy is happening OUTSIDE of us. It does not matter how big evil gets. Well it shouldn’t matter because the Spirit of God works from INSIDE of us continually separating us from false beliefs that still hold many hostage to error outside. God’s Spirit purges, purifies and exhibits that His Son is the Way we too shall follow, that His Son is the Truth we too shall come to know, and His Son is the Life that we too are appointed to live. Just like the Hebrews who leaving Egypt, had to pass over the point of no return, we too are dragged out of Babylon by the Spirit of God rising up within us. We experience Babylon’s recession inside of us not outside where evil continues to beget evil.
We had to pass that point of no return to realize that Babylon is no longer an option for us. We had to cross over that frontier of what is not possible for us but only made possible by God and His work and intervention. It is God’s Spirit that has drawn us away from lies into the glorious light and Truth of Christ who does not dwell in the world but He is inside US where He is opening our spiritual eyes from within. He is not the property or monopoly of any one of us but yet with us, among us in Spirit and in Truth He is witnessed through our gratitude and joy for the work and glory that God is doing for us and His Son to whom we are being dragged.
Though the apostate system of Harlot Babylon continues in the wayward world around us, we can say with express conviction that THAT SYSTEM is one to which we no longer belong or participate. Christ is not seen by Harlot eyes and not heard with Babylonian ears and for me this is what is happening to death now.
Rev 18:8 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.
