Nightshade (poem)

Nightshade

In the stir-less night
Of nights that have no seams
Rooted in death
Down and around narrow spiral paths
They rattled like rattlesnakes
Buzzed like dozens of blundering flies
Monstrous thighs, shoulders and eyes
Like: snakes, owls, hawks wildcats
Half-demonic, with riveting jaws
With grotesqueness, they scratched and gnawed
In the doming shade of night,
Until the eve of sunlit, the eve of Armageddon
The Giants of the Circle of Refaim!

Who Needs’ God? (poetic prose)

God doesn’t care if you believe he exists, he doesn’t need to, never has had to, and even if he didn’t exist, you would hope he did. On the other hand, why do you think he needs to impress you with saying here I am? Your mind has said he is, and thus he does.
You possess him, because you need him, not he you. He has given you the pleasures of being one of his many creations, and he happened to put you on earth, through a process of delivery; we have of course made a decision along this course of his action, to survive, and maintain a line of existence within our race, or species.
Repugnant as we may be to him, and we surely are, he puts up with us, either for a laugh, or to shake his head at 90% of us and say: “Unbelievable” (and in shock continues to watch in astonishment at our behavior).
Furthermore, sadly enough, we want to own everything, even though we will leave this earth with nothing, as we came, so God must be saying I’m sure, “What good is ownership, at such a price?” For often times we dearly for it; I am sure again this comes under ‘Astonishment of our behavior!”
Looking down the threshold of existence, love comes to mind, love being from love, greed from greed, all belonging to its own circle, and death I suppose is the same, why would the semantics change, meaning: the assassin will be with his kind, this is a God preserved right to place the same kind of bricks on top of one another—just like our balanced universe; each unto his own. That is to say, ‘no good comes out of bad,’ thus in time, separate them if not for the sake of penitence, for the sake contamination.
Therefore, the privileges’ of being God, are many: he creates the shadow, and it is gray, perhaps elsewhere it is green, God put immense depths of thought into his overall creation for man, and somewhere along the line, he put in a capsule called, extinction, to reminded us, what is possible, or what might be possible, that we owe some kind responsibility for being put on earth’s surface.
There was a time, in earth’s archeological strata, where the human race came close to extinction, only 2000-humans left. But somehow we managed to survive through that period of time (70,000 BC).
So God says: “Believe what you will “for upon your death that is what you take with you” (but on our deathbed this is not what we want to take with us, we want assurance we will go to heaven; I mean, let bygones be bygones here on earth). But the fact is, you were no good on earth, and what makes you think you’ll be any better in heaven? But we think like that don’t we. We are all going to heaven, right—wrong!! (That is like saying we are all going to be president, or Elvis, or something on that grid line.) You will be who you are when you die, God knows this, and so do you.
And then he gives you and ounce of faith, if you take it, it is best you do not lose it; you may not find it again.
On another point, God gives us love, the thing we all try to figure out by dissecting its inner core, or better put, as if it is a dead corpse, we try surgically to take it out in an operation and check it for its true nature. And what we do in the process is create torture, the very thing we create in its place, we call love, and this is what we give to our loved ones. We’re a silly species, are we not!

The Trinity Doctrine (Found in the Old Testament)

The Trinity Doctrine

In my book “The Last Trumpet…” (2002), I tried to explain the trinity, in the form of who each person was, but never did I try to connect it to the Old Testament, and especially Genesis. During my graduate studies in the 1980s, in Old Testament Studies, I became interest in this area; perhaps it helped me with my Christianity, in that everything has to be proven to me, I’m a Doubting Thomas. So I shall with you at this juncture of my life share a few things I think I learned on the subject—you may or may not already know.
I studied theology; it was my major—in terms of total biblical theology, and other religions, and I looked deep into the canons of and for interpretation.
Also I looked at it carefully to compare lexicography, etymology, usage of words, form and syntax.
I have set my mind to the fact there is a divine origin of the Old and New Testaments, a common authorship and design. In essence, if you look in the New, you can find the roots in the Old Testament.
So my belief is that the Godhead is not simply found in the New Testament, but in the Old as well. So for those who do not know what I am leading up to let me say it plain: I will show you the eternal existence of God in the person of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, in the Old Testament.
Most Christians will agree, Jesus claimed deity, the Jews and Islam will not of course agree with this. And this claim is supported by the apostles. The Holy Spirit, is more than a Spirit from God, it is God himself: thus forming a tri-unity of God. But remember what I said, the roots of this claim are found in the Old Testament. I am not claiming people of the Old Testament knew this, or understood this, but those that looked for it; it would be improbable they would not acknowledge it. On the other hand, an example might be: you may not understand there is an apple tree simply because you found an apple. In the New Testament, you discover more clearly, that the Apple is part of the Apple Tree if that makes any sense. What is clear now is the full revelation of God that is the bonus of the New Testament, a kind of progressive development.
(Genesis I) Elohim “God” this plurality is used describing the deity of God, referring to the God of Israel. Elohim is equal, plural of majesty, this is the God of the Old Testament. Some folks have said this was used in the time Israel may have used multiple deities, and the religion through evolution, became a one God Religion—and retained the polytheism usage of the word for God. Thus, Elohim would be a carry-over from such primitive times. We are getting quite grammatical here, but it is as it is.
In poetry, or in any such discipline as this, one must look at it from a context in which this plural form is used, when referring to God as a single being. If we look in Genesis 1, verse 26, we see “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness.” The subject is clear it is God talking, who for the Jews is normally perceived to be singular, but we got another plural.
I can get farther into this, but my point is made, God was not talking to his angels, he was talking to whom you think he was talking to, which was Jesus and the Holy Spirit, plain and simple. Yet, people will not make it simple, as I have, perhaps over simplification, but for me that works.

Capital Punishment: Right or Wrong?

Capital Punishment: Right or Wrong?

We all have opinions and views, so I am not looking for a fight with my readers on this controversial subject, I have just not said much on it ever in my writings in the past, of over 5000-poems, articles, books, short stories, and so forth, and why I ask myself, have l left out Capital Punishment? The best reasoning I came up with was: I never got around to it, I always had my beliefs, opinions, thoughts on the subject: so right or wrong, here area a few. Most of my view comes from my Graduate Studies at Liberty University, in Old Testament Studies (and perhaps, being in the Army for 11-years also framed my thoughts on the subject):

“Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed; for in the image of God made he man.” (KJV Genesis 9:6) Yes, I got to get a little biblical about it as I said I would, because God plays a heavy part in my life, beliefs, and direction. So you got my answer to Capital Punishment quick. But let me explain, there is more to it. Scripture is one thing and ethical decisions are another, but closely interwoven for me. I was, and you were, created in God’s image, believe it or not, it is written (Lev. 17 and Exod. 20). I am also ruling out murder, for it is not biblically grounded. I also must say, God and mankind do not have what I’d say is an understanding, or His permission to do so, but to do harm to man, is to do harm to the image God created in every human. In the old days, if an animal was to kill a man, the animal was destroyed by stoning, and the flesh of the animal was not eaten.
We should remember all life is God’s creation.
There should be a respect for the godly ground all creatures live on; thus, life given is by a supernatural power. So we are prohibited from shedding blood of man, Before the Great Flood, and after it, we never lost the divine image, and yes we do stand out in distinction form, from the animals, and vegetable worlds. God did not impose the death penalty on Cain, he gave him mercy of course for murderer (and I’ll explain that later). I do not find a clear cut pattern of law in the Bible to deal with murder in particular—we have concern, but not procedure in the Bible. The Mosaic Law restricts the right of blood vengeance.
In the book of Deuteronomy Chapter 21, we see murder endangers the whole community, and puts it at risk. It seems to me, that only the blood of the individual murderer (stranger) could make atonement for such pollution in a village, and so execution was accepted for his crime, but if it was a kin, like Cain to Abel, it was not permitted. (Deut. 24).
I do realize the 6th commandment says “Thou shalt not kill” (Exod. 20)—this really indicates murder, not the authorized taking of human life of the murderer.
In the old days, when the Old Testament was being written, sixteen offences could get you stoned to death. Of course, we are more civilized are we not, than those old times way back when, we just have wars, and protect the murderers on our city streets. Anyhow, the death penalty was also for adultery, incest and such things also.
We of course are not living in a divine theocracy (or government by religion) now. So that is often times taken into consideration by societies.
In essence, and to make this article shorter, I must simply say, the Old Testament emphasis punishment based on matching the seriousness of the crime, or offense; such as, a serious injury would equal a life for a life, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a hand for a hand, a foot for a foot, a burn for a burn (Exod. 21). On the other hand, I do not believe the Old Testament teaches that Capital Punishment is the solution for every murderer, nor mandatory. Discretion should be used. When they hung Saddam Hussein, I felt he had it coming, there were hundreds of eyewitnesses to his evilness, and murderous mind, and rulership. But I do not think one should kill a thief if over taken in the act.

Dictators: a Way of Thinking

Dictators: a Way of Thinking

The president of Zimbabwe thinks a certain way, a way the west does not understand, for it will allow its people to suffer and get raped, and so forth. Hamas, has a different way of thinking that the rest of the world does not understand, it also will allow its people to die and parish for its end goals. The North Korean president has a way of thinking, the world does not understand likewise, and will allow his people to starve to death, but wants nuclear arms (but they will take a handout if you offer it, so they can feed their soldiers); they will find money for that arms. President of Venezuela uses his countries oil to slowly gain a grip here and there, not really caring about his people, because he gives most of their resources away to gain control of leaders in other countries, but he does not step beyond a limit, one he made for himself, and perhaps because he knows the United States is too close to home. Burma is in the same status as all of the above, run by an assortment of generals, hiding in the background so no one can finger who is who, and who is responsible for their chains. Al Qaeda has a special way of thinking also, anyone not under their heel, is the enemy, and therefore has a license to kill them.
What I am driving at is this: all of the above have a different way of thinking than Americans, or Europeans, for the most part. We can add Australia into this category, or most English speaking countries, also Canada. What is inside of these dictators’ heads that they do not care? Haiti is another example of one of the so called new democratic dictatorships (Russia and China have formed a thin form of capitalism, and a thinner form of Democracy for Russia, and Cuba, is trying to form one now—more in name than truth and reality).
Again, I have to say, what is it makes people like these (excluding: fame, jealousy, envy, power and control), and we can add Saddam Hessian, into this rule, and Hitler from the past and Stalin. It is a certain way of thinking, and America has never grasped it.

It is really an old way of thinking. The new way is for the people by the people—a Christian way of thinking and its origins go back to Adam and Eve. Cain, when he left the Garden of Eden for killing his brother, was a bad seed, but could have repented, and he knew this, and he was going into the old world, and he knew in this old order the folks did not have much heart for anything beyond self interests, it was part of the old soul, or had became part of it, for Satan was in that part of the world, and ruled it long before the Garden was created.
It is that God’s breath was blown into Adam’s mouth, and thus he became the new creature, his soul was automatically different than those outside the Garden of Eden—God never blew life into those older souls, he never said he did, and he didn’t, there is a difference, a soul of God, or by God (and Satan had done his homework long ago, by grabbing God out of them old souls). It had to be, because the way of thinking outside the Garden was as it is with those folks we are talking about now, whom we do not understand why they do what they do; the soul of these folks are sick and do you expect something healthy from something sick? No way.
So when we deal with these folks, we need to keep this in mind, they do not care if a hundred, or a thousand, or a million have people have to die for their cause, it is the end they are looking at, not you.

The Double Curse of: Senor Leonico Cesar Palma

The Double Curse of:
Senor Leonico Cesar Palma



(Advance) I wasn’t going to get into, or tell you what happened to the so called “New Arrival,” but I got a nagging in my head this morning, to do so, and I couldn’t get it out of my head until I wrote it out on toilet paper—the quickest paper available, put it in my pocket, and hopped it all went away later, meaning I file 13 it, or write it out. But it didn’t. My wife Rosa and I went to Wong’s to have lunch, and then purchased some CD’s, and she had asked if I was going to go to Starbuck’s and have some coffee, as I usually do in the afternoons abut 2:00 or 3:00 PM, to about 4:00 or 5:30 PM, coffee and a cookie, and home I go. But I said no, thinking about the story I wrote out on toilet paper, on in my shirt pocket, an outline I should say, on what happened to the Arrival in the book “The Cadaverous Journey.”
To be honest I didn’t know until it came to me like a flash of lightening, as if trying to wake up Frankenstein from the dead. I mean, my pen hand started writing it out like it had the story packed away in my fingernails; I didn’t even have to think, for it just came. So I must say at this juncture, it is all from the depths of some mysterious cellar vault, that was opened up for me, and now I must tell you what came about with this fellow who arrived at the Asteroid prison, and a part of his soul, the third part if you’ve read the story “The Cadaverous Journey,” what actually took place soon after he left the prison house.
I call this a double course, and you will see why in a moment, but the first curse was of course, dying, and ending up in a prison (something on the order of purgatory, waiting for the last judgment, or simply waiting out whatever punishment you must, and thus, waiting on your reprieve to go to heaven—hopefully).

Well, the man who was or is called the ‘New Arrival’ had died in a car accident, as most of us readers know now, and his wife and child died with him. His actual name was Leonico Cesar Palma, from Peru. They had been on their way to Huancayo, from Lima, while about 15,000-feet up in the Andes, they took a sharp curve, and crashed. The child went right to heaven, and the mother had found herself wandering within that vicinity of the accident, but a little farther down the road, when upon a stranger and his wife (Dr. Dennis Siluk, and his wife Rosa, along with his godchild Ximena) found her wondering, picked her up, and ended up in a car accident themselves.
Anyhow, Leonico never did find out what took place with his daughter and wife, and I shall explain why here. Now you need to listen closely, read every word, keep an open mind, and remember this is what came to me, told to me you might say, but first I must explain some of the dimensions in the other world.
Ghosts are the residue of those who were once human, having physical souls and flesh beings. Demons are to the contrary, they are, or have no physical parts to them; this is why they must find substance, an essence to incorporate their intangible elements into, around, within them; so they can operate in the physical world. They housed themselves in humans, animals, even inanimate objects, and believe it or not, the residue of a runaway soul of a past human.
Ghosts are not all bad folks, they are searching usually for something, but demons are again to the contrary, almost always bad news, and once they enter a living thing, that thing is taken over by its character and all by the demon’s possession, and thus becomes the personification of that of which possesses them.

With this being understood, here is what took place.

Leonico left the prison house, also known as the asteroid-prison, and when he arrived on earth, for the prison house is in the cosmic universe, he was about to get his direction. The demon named Woodbridge, was present, had been present hiding in a dojo, second floor (karate gym) down at 97 Collingwood Street in San Francisco, in the Castro district, he saw Leonico Cesar, and he looked lost, he looked closer and he approached him slowly, slyly, and like a whirlwind, like a spider to a fly, he sucked the essence of Cesar into his web, and Woodbridge subjugated his essence as if it was woven into his, and thus, Cesar lost his capability to act separately, and acquired the character of Woodbridge, bound to him until he would find a more suitable human being to do his bidding.
Demonic beings, and angelic fallen beings must find a physical force to enter to do their bidding for them; often times, the human filled demon thinks he is he, when in essence, he opened the door for the demon, and the demon took advantage of it. Thus, if you are in magical practices, or things like reading or watching, or allowing this side of life to influence you, it opens more doors than you think.
Cesar was now stung and paralyzed within this gripping unstable creature’s mist, and with this, there was a little substance to him now (to Woodbridge), even could appear and be seen if in certain light reflections. Yet this was not exactly Woodbridge’s full desire. He wanted to be inside of a more open-minded human, that didn’t mind the aggressive side of life, but Cesar would do. It is you see the nature of the beast. Demons have not mercy side to them, no practical side you may say, to a psychologist, they would be categorized as psychotic, some with paranoia, and others with other un-wishful maladaptive behavior styles.

(Conclusion :) What Cesar did not know was this: he was sent to the prison house, as a penitence to be served. He believed in Christ, but was a bad Christian, and so he needed to be punished somehow, hence, he was actually given 10-years, a minute for each sin he committed in his lifetime. Then with all three parts of his soul intact, he would have been given a white coat, and a seal of approval, and would have been escorted to heaven. Now, his time for penitence would not start until the third part of his soul returned, and the truth of the matter is, Woodbridge would not leave Cesar for thirty-years, whereupon, he quickly returned to his prison, connected with the other two parts of his soul, the personal part and the pure part, the part that returned was the negotiator (or rebel part), and in the year 2008, at its end, he will have served his time completely, and onto heaven he shall go.

The Book of Judgement

The Book of Judgment


A Vision seen in the early, 1980s by the author of “The Last
Trumpet…” which was to be put in into the book, but never
Was, and drawn shortly after the vision, while living in
Roseville, Minnesota, USA; named ‘Judgment.’


(Advance) It is believed in Christian eschatology there will be one if not two judgments of man and his destiny after death: depending on which Christian grouping within the faith he belongs to—is where he may end up, which several have their own system and view; thus, which denomination you look at makes a difference, for each has a slightly different interpretation on the judgment concept so I want to take a look at it from a Birdseye view (but first a poem):


Deathwatch


Death, has its deathwatch, it knows when the vigil
Must start, sometimes it is tradition, other times it
Is religious; no matter which, it never rests:

Death appeared out of nowhere, said
“I am unknowing, it is finished, and it is time to move away from the sun towards the shadow lands.”
I said, “I want to speak to the devil first?”
He asked, “Why?” And I mumbled,
“I want to know about God,” and Death laughed, and said,
“I could take you now!”
But he hesitated, he was snooping, I think, waiting to find out more about me. Then death said,
“I haven’t got time; I got things to do….”
And I said, “Then annul it!”
He looked at me with those big dark eyes, said in a rustic voice,
“Is it not that, not to know what to believe in, is to suffer? Or is it, when Death visits one on that day, vivid as I am, it becomes a fearful, and suffocating task?” And Death added, “It is the same for all, many have tried to out wit me, but they forget I am a betrayer, and I out trick them.”

#2346 (4-3-2008)

Note on Death: I do believe, death has its own personality, and besides being a thing, it is a person, and there are places where one goes, yes, death has its maze, one could say. Death has its squad as well, and it has its angels, the good and the bad. You may ask, “Why must we die?” It is simply falling to sleep and waking up in a new world order, what is perhaps nerving is where are we going to exist next? Heaven, Hell, the grave, the fire, the frozen lands. Does not our proper reasoning tell us we will exist again—someplace? I think so, and so we leave the only world we know, to a new existence we have heard about. It sounds to me often times but a simple jump from one to the other. The sad part is you live a world that is perhaps worse off than when you arrived. The good part is, you go to another adventure.



Uri’el: The Flame of God
He stood at the Gate of Eden
He holds the key to the Pit, during the End Times
Seraphim, the highest known rank of angels: also known as a
Cherubim (Muhammad claimed he was even taken from
Mecca to Heaven by one)

As told to Ezra by Uri’el:

“God’s ways cannot be understood by human minds!”
“When the end comes, God’s justice will manifest”
“The present state of Israel is in transition”
“No one can escape his destiny”

“…the woman is Zion; the Eagle is rebuked by the Lion, and then burnt
(Europe vs. United States), the Eagle is the forth kingdom in Daniel;
then comes the man who says he is the Messiah…(but is not)”

See Jewish Apocalypse of Ezra (4 Ezra)
Revelation 20: 12-15
“The Apocalypse of John”

(A View) Satan’s rule through man at this time is destroyed…; first comes tribulation, then Armageddon, then the return of Messiah; peace is restored to the world; Satan imprisoned; then 1000-years region of the Messiah; then Satan released for the final rebellion; God’s final judgment over Satan; the Great White Throne Judgment; the new earth.
But what about the Judgment?


Judgment of the Soul
Islam vs. Christianity



During judgment, a person's own "book of deeds" will be given to the person, and they will be apprised of every action they did and every word they spoke (Qur'an 54.52-53). If given in the right, that Person will go to Jannah (paradise). If he gets it in his left, he's going to Jahannam (Hell).

The Qur'an states that some sins can condemn someone to hell. These include lying, dishonesty, and corruption, ignoring God or God's revelations, denying the resurrection, refusing to feed the poor, indulging in opulence and ostentation, and oppressing or economically exploiting others.[12] However, if someone had the true Islamic belief in their heart, then they will eventually be allowed into paradise after their just punishment.

Salvation is granted, based on the individual's surrender and commitment to Jesus Christ.

A second particular judgment they refer to as the Bema Seat judgment occurs after (or as) salvation is discerned when awards are granted based on works toward heavenly treasures.[

Some believe all people sleep in Sheol until the resurrection

Other beliefs, Christians dwell in Heaven and pagans wander the earth, and others consider the time to pass instantaneously. Nevertheless, the body is not fully redeemed until after Death is destroyed…



Judgment is forth coming!

So what is right and wrong here? Many beliefs, or perhaps
Many sides to one perfect belief: Judgment is forth coming!


Particular judgment: is the doctrine that immediately after death the eternal destiny of each separated soul is decided by the just judgment of God. The dead begin their eternal fates after death, either immediately or after being purified in purgatory (a waiting place, where one is actually somewhat judged, and cleaned, and it maybe uncomfortable, more on the order of a sentence of repentance before released to the Arms of Heaven). On the actual judgment day, the dead are reunited with their bodies and their eternal fates continue.

In Eastern Christianity: the dead are judged from the 3rd to the 40th day after death. They then await their eternal fate on judgment day, anticipating judgment either in dread or in peace.

Contrary doctrines: hold that the soul sleeps unconsciously until the General Judgment or that it is annihilated at death, to be recreated on Judgment Day.


General View: For the most part, a final Judgment is a belief, and held firmly by all Christian religions, Islam, and Judaism likewise. Some immediately after death feel the soul under goes the particular judgment (depending on the state of the soul): and goes to heaven, purgatory, limbo, or hell. But there also is a last judgment, no matter what is in-between now and then, thus, making for a resurrection of all the dead, or those who have ever lived and died, a kind of reunion of humanity, at which time, one’s physical body will be united with his soul. At this point, Christ will descend to earth in human form, for his is the judge; this is called the perfect justice. Those in heaven and hell will remain there, and those in waiting, will be released into heaven (limbo, I don’t know where that came from or even if it exists).
So we see the above case two judgments, experienced by most individuals, be it Christian or non-Christian. And we see where God will send the souls during the first, and perhaps the second and final one will be conceivably more on the order of degree of punishment to be given, and degree of the pleasures of heaven to be granted.
There is another part to this riddle of sorts, the soul sleeps upon death. And that may be so; it has been written there are seventy-two deaths. If this is one, and if this is the case then when a person wakes, he wakes upon the final and only judgment day, it will be a long day, and no time for the intercession of the Saints (and if there is such a thing as intercession?).
I feel one needs to look at himself, and his beliefs, and how he feels God would do things after he checks things out: I mean, here we got God, bestowing the free gift of Divine grace upon us, one we cannot earn, and by the asking, our sins are forgiven, but there is also another side to this coin, the deeds done by each person needs to be weighed, thus separating the sheep from the goats, and by counting the good and the bad, one can come to a conclusion how God’s grace, and forgiveness is to be balanced. Not everyone who knocks on his door and says ‘Here I am’, is going to get into the plaza. Faith in Christ is the key at the Last Judgment, other than that, it is by the mercy of God, and he will not declare that until the final days.
