Ode of Solomon 3:1 ... I put on. 2 And his members are with him. And on them do I stand, and He loves me: 3 For I should not have known how to love the Lord, if He had not loved me 4 For who is able to distinguish love except the one that is loved? 5. I love the beloved and my soul loves Him: 6 And where His rest is, there also am I; 7 And I shall be no strangers for with the Lord Most High and Merciful there is no grudging. 8 I have been united to Him, for the Lover has found the Beloved, 9 And because I shall love Him that is the Son, I shall become a son;. 10 For he that is joined to Him that is immortal, will also himself become immortal; 11 And he who has pleasure in the Living One, will become living. 12 This is the Spirit of the Lord, which doth not lie, which teacheth the sons of men to know His ways. 13 Be wise and understanding and vigilant. Hallelujah.
In the beginning when God took thought, He mentally pictured how He wanted everything to be. This became the FAMILY PLAN. Training us to have appropriate and desirable character occurs in two phases. The first stage is the kindergarten phase on the earth-stage, where all the children are sent down. The second phase is in Heaven where perfection takes place.
Luke 13:32 And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the third [day] I shall be perfected (a reference for his death and rising to Heaven).
Hebrews 10:14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
1 John 2:5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
1 John 4:12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
The contrast phase of education begins when we wakeup on earth. Devils immediately lay claim to each newborn and begin to stimulate him and exert control over his mind and nervous system. Opposed to these are generally the parents and the angels assigned to guard and protect that person. The battle is set from day one and the educational drama begins. Devils will implant mental pictures and whisper words to deceive, blind, and bind a man as a slave to their will. Because they actually cover our body surfaces and dwell inside our body openings, they lay siege against each human being as the war over the soul begins, Matthew 12:43-45; Mark 9:1; Jude 1:6,16. Parents, angels and religions of all kinds tend to oppose the obvious efforts of devils to turn a human being backward, Revelation 12:1-2,12,17. These form a loose force whose objective is to create order, peace, and social community among men. The actual battle between the powers of darkness and the angels of glory has been described as the battle of light and darkness. It is mental WARFARE! 2 Corinthians 10:3-6. Just as days have varying hours of daylight and darkness, God has proportioned our hearing of good and evil forces, and thus He governs the degree of trial each human being will experience.
Ode of Solomon 16:15 The treasure-chamber of the light is the sun, and the treasury of the darkness is the night: 16 And He made the sun for the day that it may be bright, but night brings darkness over the face of the land; 17 And their alternations one to the other speak the beauty of God.
Ode of Solomon 12:5 For the swiftness of the Word is inexpressible, and like its expression is its swiftness and force; 6 And its course knows no limit. Never doth it fail, but it stands sure, and it knows not descent nor the way of it. 7 For as its work is, so is its end: for it is light and the dawning of thought; 8 And by it the worlds talk one to the other; and in the Word there were those that were silent; 9 And from it came love and concord; and they spake one to the other whatever was theirs; and they were penetrated by the Word; 10 And they knew Him who made them, because they were in concord; for the mouth of the Most High spake to them; and His explanation ran by means of it: 11 For the dwelling-place of the Word is man: and its truth is love. 12 Blessed are they who by means thereof have understood everything, and have known the Lord in His truth. Hallelujah.
All things are planned for each man who comes into this world. There is a pre-written drama for all generations, Psalm 90:9. In this regard, we like to think of the Father as a Great Playwright. The history of the world is the completion of many episodes of many men on the many stages where "action" takes place.
Man is to learn from this interaction between good and evil. Devils are tools by which the contrast to good ways are experienced, Ecclesiastes 1:13. Negative evil tends to enhance the appreciation and desirability of positive good ways. It is our nature to hate some types of evil, and we must learn to despise other forms of evil. During our lifetime we learn positive and evil lessons from our personal experiences. Pain, grief, humiliation, shame and such reactions tend to push us to the right. We learn to avoid harmful acts, which bring about those feelings. Evil deeds that we do to others and that others do to us tend to result in those negative emotions. Those behavior modes and acts that tend to bring joy, peace, laughter, a sense of social wellbeing and belonging are positive. We prefer the "good" ways and the positive benefits that come with it. We learn to avoid the evil and the negative punishment that comes with them. This is our preliminary introduction to good and evil as used by God in His teaching program. As God said through Moses, "I have set before you two ways, life and good and death and evil. Choose life that you may live". We face the same teaching situation Adam faced, two trees and a challenge over his soul from the demonic realm. Unfortunately we do not always benefit from this interaction. However, we do learn a few positive lessons. God has provided precepts to help us in Biblical writings left as a legacy from previous generations. Devils have made learning truth even from these writings a source of contention and division, Daniel 7:21-22; 2 Corinthians 11:13-15; Revelation 13:4-7. Most of us end up as slaves and zombies, captives of devils in some way or another.
Watching us interact with demons are the student body above most recently redeemed from the earth. They are called "Watchers" in the wings (classes) of the Archangels. These are the "daily sacrifices" most recently drawn to Heaven. Perfection classes take place in the Archangels training schools. These are the "just spirits of men made perfect" that Paul wrote about, Hebrews 12:22-28. The actual process has been called "burning the sacrifices on the Heavenly Altar". Alteration of behavior or "change" takes place there, inside of Heaven. (You will notice that the "churches" claim that you must be changed according to their prescriptions before you enter Heaven and before you die or "you will not be saved". That is a sad error and a very bad demonic farce. This doctrine which almost all churches teach is a fraud against God's protocol. It is part of the "doctrine of devils"! This shows they have no understanding of the Heavenly Altar, nor its purpose and how it works!) We find these "redeemed" persons complaining against devils when they see them doing to men below the very same things that were done to them, Revelation 6:9-11. Seeing devils in action for the first time, they stop blaming men for their suffering and correctly put the blame on devils. This is how they learn "judgment"! The fire (words) of these Archangels "purify" or purge the errors from their thinking. All of this has been parabolized as a sea of glass (mirror images) mingled with fire. This Heavenly Altar and Sea of Glass are graphic descriptions of the four perfection schools of the four major Archangels and their effects.
God's education scheme is like a circle. In the beginning all of us were nursery mates awaiting our time and generation to be placed on the earth-stage. After our scheduled tenure in spiritual kindergarten, where we battle devils, we are retrieved, and another set of babies is sent down. This movement of baby spirits from the nursery to the earth and back to Heaven for perfection school is like a circuit. One generation rises while another is sent down, Psalm 145:4-13. This process will continue until the last generation of human beings are removed from the earth. The final removal of men will not be random and scattered as the death process is today. It will be sudden and dramatic. All men will be removed at one time and all possessing devils will "let go" and be forced to fall suddenly! Family reunion will then take place in full swing when the last generation of men have been taught proper character, that is, they have been PERFECTED!
"The disciples said to Jesus: Tell us how our end shall be. Jesus said: Have you then discovered the beginning, that you seek after the end? For where the beginning is, there shall the end be. Blessed is he who shall stand in the beginning, and he shall know the end and shall not taste of death." from The Gospel of Thomas 1:18
