The Glorious God of
Scripture!

The dead know not anything.
How glorious is the God of Scripture!!! "In the beginning God created the
heavens and the earth. ... And God said..."
God is, and He has a word for men. He knows what He knows and He communicates
it clearly. He does not try to say anything, but says it clearly so that we are
without excuse and without any place to hide. That is good, because we are
deceivers and deceived.
Ex. 3:13: "What is his name? what shall I say unto them? 14 And God said
unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children
of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you."
God is personal. He is the ultimate existence and is personal and knows Himself
and knows that He is speaking to Moses. He has a message for Moses that, when
fully unfolded, will be the salvation and hope of the entire world. God has a
word for men! He remembers what He told Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He has a
plan and directs the world in terms of that plan.
The elect rejoice and the ungodly should tremble: The Ultimate is personal and
knows what He knows!!!
There is nothing like this in the philosophies or in the dead religions.
A=A means nothing. Existence exists is nonsensical. Is this a message for those
who sit in great darkness, a great message for the poor, the weak, the fearful,
and the guilty? "Hallelujah: Is, Is. Existence Exists!" "Lift up
your voices with joy in praise to existence existing, for we have found the
meaning of life, the foundation of morality and decency. Is, Is!!!!! This will
transform the world, break off the chains of ignorance and misery. Existence
exists! I have spun out my thoughts, and now I will bow and worship them!"
Is this to die for?
When you leave the ivied walls of academia and the vanity of idle speculation
about nothing, and the horror of death and the unknown stretches before you,
will you find comfort in this? Death is. Darkness is. Nothing is! Lift up your
voice for the deliverance of mankind. Nothing is. My thought is! Praise the
gods of darkness, death, and annihilation!
John 8:54 "Jesus answered, If I honor myself, my honor is nothing: it is
my Father that honoreth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God: 55 Yet ye have
not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be
a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying. 56 Your father
Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.
"57 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and
hast thou seen Abraham? 58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto
you, Before Abraham was, I am.
"59 Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and
went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed
by."
So it always is. People would rather venerate the tombs of the dead than to
know the Living God who speaks and lives and calls the dead to life.
And the dead shall be raised….!!
