Echoes From Paradise, “Hear Ye Him” Part #2

Introduction

This is a continuation from the home page. Echoes From Paradise is a series of writings from paradise point of view.
And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise. 

Luke 23:43 

“Yes, Hear Ye Him Now!”

Matthew 17:5 KJV

While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.

All things were made by the Word

On inquiring further concerning how such a great fortress was constructed, by what machines and by what technology, I was made to understand that no machines were used but by the Word of the creator – faith in God’s word did it all! Those passing near me, seeing my wondering eyes, came closer and whispered, in their language of course, “the just shall live by faith.” I understood this in my dialect, so colloquial!

“What of the great network of highways? How did you manage all that?”

They repeated the same answer to my dilemma. What? “The just shall live by faith, but the proud enlarges their belly like hell and can never be satisfied, ever gathering clay upon themselves in lust in the land of destruction.” Well, though the very truth it was, but I could hardly fathom it.

Then I started through one of the small gates, and to pass through, I had to bend. You could not enter otherwise, no matter how small you are! Then I chose to go along highway 7 and moved up the first foothill quietly admiring everything around. The road was quite busy. It was fully thronged with my tinny friends, moving in both directions, in their strange industry which I could not fathom, with a transport system that I have no words to frame for you to imagine it. But a number were on foot like me. The means of travel fully depended on what they were doing that same time. Any time one’s service changed, at once their mode of transport also changed.

One thing struck my heart deeper than anything before, it moved me beyond words! What was it? The peaceful, clean, and quiet atmosphere within the mountain! No sign of any mazy affair was in sight in any direction! No disorderly conduct of any kind, not even a suggestion!

No females awkwardly dressed, unseemly pushing out their bad manners, as it is the norm in my native land. Not a female with a trouser on, a mini skirt or any tight dress. Such habits were thought most barbaric and were abhorred by all. No female could stand any other wear, but a most saintly dress that wholly hid her body outline. Yes, all were modestly dressed, and the same was full of glory and beauty beyond words… oh, I had never seen beauty until then!

All females were clothed with a meek quiet spirit, clean, pure and chaste. Oh, just virgins, pure virgins! There were no suggestive acts of any kind; no sign of lewdness, no act suggesting lust. All wore a holy aura unheard of in the crooked land of my nativity.

No nasty talk could be heard anywhere in this mountain, as it is the norm among the sorry men I had fled from. No unkind words spoken anywhere! No vile talk anywhere! No suggestive comments thrown at the females. No jesting of any kind. Such was deemed a riot affair that best describes devils. The humour they enjoyed was that which promoted holiness and truth… they loved holiness and cherished it, relishing it with all their hearts, and by that their hearts were filled with laughter, holy laughter…

By their manner of life, the inhabitants of this holy monument could quickly convince you that devils were totally excluded from their company. And if you were such a fellow that keeps company with some of that ugly sort, the mountain would never receive you within. You could immediately be vomited out.

I wondered. I wondered how I escaped being vomited out until I learned that the maker of all things had wrapped me in a garment of special grace, so as to bear witness of these things and return to testify of them to you.

Here is a place where malice, hatred, murder, robbery, theft, meanness, selfishness, lies, lewdness, fornication, filthy talk, the madness of covetousness and idolatry were completely exterminated! No dark spot anywhere! Corruption was fully banished. Respect and honour abounded in every direction. Love and peace were the breath of every creature. Holiness and righteousness embraced each other in every bosom. Truth, faithfulness, and lovingkindness abounded in every heart. Uprightness and godliness were the order of the day. Crookedness and perverseness were never in sight. Both peace and tranquility ruled the day, for there was no night there. Aha!

My! What a wonder! Just a marvel of marvels, yet there it was! A perfect place for a perfect people. You couldn’t enter in there otherwise. No religion could fit you for an entrance. Some of the religious attires that humanity so much cherishes appear most vile and out of place in that perfect place. Only grace, the grace of God through Jesus Christ could provide for an entrance into that holy place.

Perfection is the password into that holy mountain. Better take heed… you have to be in Jesus to pass through those gates. There is no way! no alternative! No option! Your religion at best suits you for a great disappointment, a rude welcome over yonder. Jesus in you and you in Jesus is the password. Nothing short of that is admitted. The very gates would slam in your face if you tried to peep through them with your religious witch-like eyes! This is the only key that opens those gates for you – Jesus in your very heart. Anything else is a mere cheat. A lie twice told. So, stop the madness and repent.

Repent of what? Repent and turn away from religious lies… at best religion is like the fig leaves which Adam and Eve tried in vain to cover their nakedness with. In the light of that mountain that is how a religious man will appear. Naked to his shame still!

So, stop cheating yourself, playing religion. Get to business. Receive Jesus in your heart! No other language is understood by those gates! Be warned, ye men with a form of religion without Jesus. Those gates are thus tuned. They have a perfect sense and can tell who is who. If you have Jesus in your heart, they automatically open for you, but if yours is just a religious cloak, they slam in your face.

There is no one who operates the gates to talk to, to coax so as to open for you. The gates open and close of themselves, obeying God’s commandment to the letter. What commandment? That they should not allow anything outside perfection to pass in… and since no man is born perfect, all must receive Jesus and walk in him to be accepted. He is the way, the truth, and the life. For Jesus is already perfected of God and in him there is an entrance provided into eternity.

Then was I most sorrowful for the multitudes in the land of my nativity, for rejecting Jesus, they have gone after all kinds of religions, which in the light of that country appear as the mire of the refuse of devils. Be warned! God loved the world so much that He gave you His only begotten son through whom you are saved. He never gave you Catholicism! That is a mere human system, a creation of men. He neither gave you some Protestant sect nor some Pentecostal one… No! never! He gave you Jesus. Period. If the Bible means anything to you, then you know better. Salvation is only found in Jesus! Jesus alone saves and you don’t have to pass through some religion to receive Jesus. You receive him by faith in His word!

Stop spreading lies! Stop substituting God’s word with your tradition. When you come before those divine gates you will realize painfully that no religion offers you the least assistance to pass through. Instead, most people are rejected because of their religious inclinations, for instead of receiving Jesus, they received men’s traditions. Then understood I the meaning of Jesus’s words:

Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye. Mark 7:13 

For the first time in all my pilgrimage, I had come to a place where peace reigned. I just sat by the roadside and wept every tear out of my eyes! I couldn’t help it. Neither would you. The peaceful atmosphere that greeted your heart among the extraordinarily people was entrancing! Everything spelled peace! Every word in their dialect was coined in a manner as to leave a peaceful touch on both the heart of the speaker and of the hearer. It was amazing, beyond language.

Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. John 14:1-3

Hear Ye Him Always!

And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 14:4-6

Oh! Be warned! Only Jesus takes you to that place. If you add anything to God’s word in the name of a church tradition, the gates lock you out, automatically! You are an outcast to those gates! If you subtract ought from God’s revealed truth because of your church tradition, the very gates will shut you out… and the land within abhors you as the most abominable thing. No hand will touch you. No need. The very place spews anything that adds to or subtracts from God’s word in the very least. You must fully and wholly believe God’s word, lay your heart on it and cry out for mercy so as to receive Jesus within your heart, if an entrance will be granted you. Hear me, oh ye people! Hearken!

For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. Rev 22:18-19 

Don’t be cheated! It is that serious!

What of all your traditional stuff that you have wantonly added to God’s word, replacing Jesus with your church for salvation? Offering a religion to the people instead of offering them Jesus! Woe unto you! You will dearly pay for all the souls that you have mislead! Repent! That is the only language that can help you. Turn around with weeping and lamentations, with fasting and crying unto God for mercy, ‘for your days are numbered,’ says my God, ‘and the time of your visitation draws nigh, to destroy and lay most desolate every religion of this world for rudely standing in the way of souls… for they neither go in or allow those who desire to go in to do so.’

Eve accepted the addition of a little lie to God’s commandments and the human race was plunged into death and desolations. The gates of the garden of Eden were closed against her and all her posterity. Why? Because she added to God’s word, she added something seemingly small. She thought it didn’t matter. But it mattered! She paid dearly, and all her children are still paying for her sins.

Hear me ye people! It matters! And all those Christian religions differing one from another, keep adding and subtracting from God’s word. None of them is perfectly a hundred per cent on the word. Each of them is an Eve to begin with. You may not agree with me now, but the day you will come before those divine gates, you will painfully learn that I spoke to you nothing but the truth.

Your religious identity does not assist you in the least in obtaining an entrance through those gates! I speak with first-hand experience! You are in for a rude encounter at those gates if you fail to heed this call. Come out of the confused Babylonian world full of vain traditions and enter into Christ, the narrow way, the strait gate into life!

God gave you Jesus for your salvation! He never gave you Catholicism, not Protestantism, neither Pentecostalism nor Branhamism or any other independent religious systems! The true way is God’s Word, the same is preached to you to repent and receive Jesus. If an angel preaches any other Gospel to you, let him be accursed! Jesus alone saves! No church tradition can save you! I hope your heart says “Amen!” to that. You have to if those gates will open for you.

I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. Gal 1:6-9 

Any preacher who offers anything else other than Christ for salvation of souls is accursed. No man can be saved by joining a church please! It is alright to seek fellowship in some gathering but place the horse before the cart! No church has salvation for souls! It is Christ who has it! And you know very well that Jesus is not a Catholic, neither is he a Protestant, nor a Pentecostal; he does not belong to any church organized by men. Jesus is the son of God and is the word of God in flesh. He stands alone outside every organization.

And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries? And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the LORD am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant? Jos 5:13-14 

Yes, Jesus is the captain of the Lords hosts and is neither for Catholicism, Protestantism nor Pentecostalism… if a member of any of them went to him as Joshua did and asked him the same question: “Are you for us Catholics… Protestants… Pentecostals… or for our enemies the Muslims…” He will say “Nay!” Not for any of you, nor for the Muslim… but for the Lord’s army to execute judgement upon any of you who injects anything in God’s word!

Yes, you know better, Jesus is not affiliated with any of the present church systems. He is outside all camps of men. Believe and receive him if those gates will one day open for you.

Well, there I sat, beholding this perfect place. My language to the men and women of this perfect place was nothing but some backward primitive form of colloquial jargon! Though they understood me, and I understood them, yet mine was a vile, filthy language full of abominable words meant for cursing and defiling, while theirs was pure, holy and perfect, without any crude word that can cause defilement of the speaker. For one’s holiness depends on what comes out of his heart.

Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught? But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man. Mat 15:17-18 

But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God. Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. Jas 3:8-10 

Remember the divine rule. Whatsoever you measure against any man, it shall be measured back to you. Curse and you will be cursed! Hate and at those gates you will be hated! Despise and you will be despised! Slay and you will be slain. Imprison and you will be imprisoned! Cast out and you will be cast out. Mistreat and you will be mistreated. Anything you do against your neighbour; it will be done to you. So, be careful.

So, when I tried to speak to these perfect people, they all looked so surprised about how I sounded. You could get the expression clearly wrote on their faces. You could feel their thoughts wonderingly asking: “What kind of hog is this that has strayed to our mountain! How rough and unkind are his words! Is he emptying his anger upon us? What for? How have we wronged him? Uh!”

Sincerely speaking, every word from their tongue meant nothing but holiness, uprightness, peace, harmony and unity among all. With their little spirits thus charmed, the whole mountain was filled with an ocean of love that can only be thought as fiction among my countrymen. No wonder, this report sounds exactly like that in their ears, after witnessing it among them. They go publishing falsely against it that it all is nothing but fiction.
