The Three
Major Hoaxes
-
"ARMAGEDDON"
-
"COMING OF JESUS
AS A THIEF"
-
"IMMINENT IS
THE GREAT BATTLE"
- The Fictitious Fears and False Hopes have lead the
followers for Centuries to Dead Ends.
- Away from
the Right Path leading to Ever Relenting and Most Merciful
Almighty Creator.
-
-
"Armageddon"
-
An Innovated
Symbol for the Great Battle
-
-
The word "Armageddon" did not appear
in the older manuscripts of the Bible. Today, it does not appear in the
newly Revised Versions of the Bible.
-
-
The question
that follows is: What was the original word or phrase that the author
of the 'Book of Revelation' had written? It was...
-
"Har-Magedon"
-
(translated "Mount of Magedon"),
-
This is a Hebrew name for a Geographical
Location in Palestine.
-
-
The name "Har-Magedon" appears
in the Old Testament several times. It has not been changed by the Editors
of the Old Testament.
-
see Jos. 12:21,17:11; Jg. 1:27,5:19; 1Kg.
4:12,9:15; 2Kg. 9:27,23:29-30; 1Ch. 7:29; 2Ch. 35:22
-
-
At a later date, the Editors of the
New Testament (many of whom were committed followers of Christ),
removed
this Geographical name
-
"Har- Magedon"
from Revelation 16 :16 and inserted in its place an innovated
'Symbol of Terror and Fear' and named it "Armageddon".
-
-
Today, the majority of the Bible Editors
have removed the innovated 'Symbol Of Terror
and Fear' and reinserted 'Geographical
Name'.
-
(see below verse 16, in the scanned
pages from the New Revised Standard Bible)
-
-
One can now assert that a
word that was NOT in the original Holy Bible has been EXPUNGED/REMOVED
from the REVISED VERSIONS of the Holy Bible.
-
-
-- BUT THE "TERROR"
OF THAT "INNOVATION" HAS BEEN KEPT VERY MUCH ALIVE AND THE CLOCK OF THE "TIME
BOMB" TICKING IN
THE NAMES OF THE HOLY BIBLE AND THE
COMING OF JESUS --
-
-
We shall soon discover that there is a GREAT
POLITICAL CONSPIRACY
-
behind the blowing of the TRUMPET, for the prophecy of
"GREAT BATTLE".
NEW REVISED STANDARD VERSION OF THE BIBLE - 1990
-
-
-
The Revised
Versions of the Bible:
-
From
the Preface to the Revised Versions, one uncovers that the translators
of the Bible had discovered "serious defects"
within the text of the authorized King James Version
published from England, when more ancient manuscripts were discovered
than those on which it was based. This authorized K.J.V. was then revised
in 1901 from America, as the American Standard
Version. This A.S.V. was again revised in 1952, as the Revised
Standard Version. This R.S.V. of the Bible was once again revised
as the authorized New Revised Standard Version
in 1990. Above are the scanned images from this authorized N. R. S. V.
printed in 1997 from Iowa Falls, Iowa, USA. The Editors have tried to come
closer to the available older manuscripts in the Revised Versions. The
words or the texts that DO NOT appear in the older manuscripts are either
printed in the italics or are placed within the parentheses,
as we shall soon discover with Verse 15.
-
-
The Hoax of
-
"COMING OF JESUS
AS A THIEF"
-
-
The Verse (Revelation
16 :15) that speaks of the
-
second coming
of Jesus as "A THIEF" is an INJECTED VERSE.
-
-
Here is the text of that verse number
15:
-
("See, I am coming like thief!
Blessed is the one who stays awake and is clothed, not going about naked
and exposed to shame.")
-
-
The quoted text
of verse 15, did not appear in the older manuscripts.
-
It is no surprise to see that
the
entire text of verse 15 is placed within the parentheses, by the Editors
of the New Revised Standard Version of Bible.
-
-
I have two serious questions for the Editors
of the N. R. S. V.:
-
1. If the entire text of the
verse 15 was NOT "Holy or Legitimate" as the
rest of the text, why have you NOT EXPUNGED it from the "Holy
Bible" ?
-
-
2. If the entire text of the
verse 15 was INDEED "Holy and Legitimate" as
the rest of the text, why have you placed this only verse in parentheses
?
-
-
Upon the search
of the Bible we discover a totally different picture of that same Jesus
in the same Bible, and this one self depicted one.
Jesus said;
"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy.
I came that they may have
life, and have it abundantly. I am the good shepherd.
The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep."
The Gospel of John 10: 10/11
-
After reading this
verse, it sounds totally incompatible and irreconcilable that
JESUS
-
- an icon of LOVE
and COMPASSION -
-
- an advocate for
turning of the left cheek if someone strikes on the right -
-
who had DECLARED
HIMSELF to be
-
"A Good Shepherd
that Saves"
-
would come again
as a
-
"A Thief
that Kills and Destroys"...
The next
important question is where did this concept come from?
In the marginal notes, there is a cross reference
to this verse and it refers to "1Thess. 5 :2", (see the scanned images above).
"For you yourself know very
well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night."
First Letter of Paul to Thessalonians 5:2
This tells us that the one who had injected the
text of Verse 15 had taken the clue from the writings of Paul. History
records that Paul was a staunch Pharisees before his conversion. Pharisees
were the ones who hated Jesus and his followers. In the Books of Acts,
Paul admits that before his conversion, he was
a strong persecutor of the followers of Jesus Christ. His
famous journey from Jerusalem to Damascus was to catch the followers of
Jesus and bring them to Jerusalem for prosecutions and punishments. Paul
"approved"
the stoning of Stephen, the first Christian to be martyred by stoning.
(Acts 7:54 ff.).
In brief, Paul a practicing Antichrist
joined the early movement for the foundation of the Christianity. Paul's
personal theory - advocated in Paul's Letters - for the "Salvation through
Grace" and not through the "Keeping of the Law", has tainted the
Original Teaching of the Righteous Messiah. Jesus, had forewarned
those who would one day teach the doing away of the Commandments
(Laws). Jesus had declared that who ever teaches others of breaking (not keeping of),
just
one of these Commandments, that person will be called
"least in the kingdom of heaven". (Matthew 5: 19).
Paul had NOT heard
the "Living Jesus", nor he had an access
to the passage from the Gospel of John 10: 10/11, quoted afore. John's
Gospel was written four decades after Paul had written his letter to the
Church at Thessalonica. If the true intention of Paul was to Glorify the
"Good Shepherd" he would not have called him a
"Thief that Kills and Destroys". We learn
from the following that this strange concept came from the
Epistle (Letter) of Paul.
In the footnote to 16: 15
it is mentioned:
-
Christ will return unexpectedly (1 Thessalonians
5: 1-6),
-
so we must be ready
when he returns.
-
-
-
Imagine what would Jesus say,
if he was to read this phony insertion
and discover that the Church that claims to be the "Vicar of Jesus" is
strongly propagating that Jesus will "return"
to Kill and Destroy everyone except
-
the CHRISTIAN (WARRIORS) who
are "ready" for the Great Battle.
The Hoax of
"IMMINENT IS
THE GREAT BATTLE"
A phrase that
has been repeatedly propagated with
"Firm Convictions"
and "Envisaged Dates"
then
"Retracted,
Revised and Rescheduled"
over a period
of nearly two millenniums.
We learn the following, from the data published
in N. R. S. V. under the heading VITAL STATISTICS for the Book of Revelation.
This book was written in about A. D. 95 by John, from a Prison in Patmos.
(The true identity of this John is often questioned by the bible scholars, as we
shall soon learn. He is identified as John the Divine, to separate him from the
author of the Gospel!). This "apocalyptic" message was addressed to the seven churches of Asia.
Most scholars believe that these churches were experiencing persecutions
from the Roman Emperors, especially under Emperor Domitian (A.D. 90-95).
The purpose of John, was to glorify Christ and to proclaim the ultimate
triumph of God over the evil. It was to give warning to the unbelievers
and provide hope to the believers, especially the congregates of the seven
churches in Asia who were in despair. The OPENING Verse 1:1 clearly speaks
that the Vision "which God gave" to the author was to show
"what must soon take place".
Two
verses later, John wrote: "Blessed is the one who reads
aloud the words of the prophecy, and blessed are those who hear and who
keep what is written in it, for the
time is near." Since
the day this "Apocalyptic Vision" was
delivered -- nearly two millenniums ago -- the Christian Churches have been telling their congregates all over the world, watch
out Jesus may come any night in the near future or even tonight, keep your
self awake. But, the prophecy has remained unfulfilled. Hundreds of generations
of Churchgoers have died eagerly waiting for the expected Great Battle
that may never ever be fought. Remember, the God Almighty is the Mostmerciful
God. To keep the hopes alive, the Predicted
Dates are pushed forward and forward by the evangelical missionaries and the door to door preachers
of "Armageddon". One wonders how far are they going to S_T_R_E_A_T_C_H these dates!
Here is a web site that has an in-depth study of
the Official Documents, published and circulated by the Jehovah's Witnesses
for the ARMAGEDDON, that have not come true and the predicted DATES have been
repeatedly pushed forward to coincide with the next world events. I recommend
you to visit of the following eye-opening website: http://www.escapethewatchtower.com/Armageddon%20delayed.htm
Unfortunately, some prominent Christian
Commanders of the Great Military Might of the recent era, have been paying
Serious Attention to this Apocalyptic. Propagators of the Great Battle
are cordially invited on the front lawns of the House of "Commander-in-chief".
The thrust is to build a New Temple/Synagogue at a chosen site for the
"Awaited Thief"!
"The Origin of Apocalyptic is to be sought in unfulfilled
prophecy. Of prime importance here was the non-fulfillment of the greatest
of all prophecies--the advent of the Messianic kingdom."
Encyclopedia Britannica. 1953.
"A few critics, like Dionysius of Alexandria (247
- 265), rejected the Apocalypse altogether, mainly on the grounds of style,
and the impossibility of supposing that it could be by the same author
as the Gospel of John. ...In modern times the attempt to find the real
future history in the Apocalypse has been given up; it is realized that
the book would have been pointless to them for whom it was written, unless
it was meant to predict the then immediate future. The explanation of the
imagery has to be found in 1st century condition."
Encyclopedia Britannica. 1953.
(I wish some one would convey the above truth
to those Commanders).
