Being There wrote: May 25th, 2023, 6:18 pm these scriptures about the Antichrist, some believe it's saying that he will be gay.
in verse 37 "nor the desire of women"

37 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women,
nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.
38 But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces:
and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver,
and with precious stones, and pleasant things.
39 Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god,
whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many,
and shall divide the land for gain.
Daniel 11
as far as - just who is this "strange god" - that he honors - "the God of forces" -
After reading this and studying it for about an hour -
it sounds to me like a "strange god" = AI

What do you think ?

take particular note of this part "whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory,
and he shall cause them"

you found a scripture that holds mysteries. There's alot out there that is beyond what is taught in church. Many choices, many paths, many different destinies.

another example:

"For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as was the heart of David his father."

Keep in mind that the point in the scripture above is that Solomon had deviated from following the LORD of the OT. So... since he was considered the wisest man to have ever lived, ....why did he change course? Keep in mind that MEN wrote the scriptures. Could men have assumed that his wives changed his mind? I say this because there are many writings in regards to the path that Solomon walked after his "departure".

According to the average Christian, there's God and the devil and that's it. Is that all there is to it?

Compare to today, Christians believe that Buddha was a nobody. A mislead man that has mislead a billion or so people. Obviously of 'the devil' , right? If a christian today were to pen 'scripture' , how would they describe a follower of Buddha ? A lost soul? The bias of men is to be questioned in all writings because God doesn't pen anything.

I take all scripture with a grain of salt and then pray on those subjects that are important to me.
Interesting take, I wrote that verse into a poem on Elijah and may have to re-examine what led to the division, as Ezek 14 “the punishment of the prophet (including leaders) shall be even as the punishment of him that seeketh unto him;” and Matt 13:15 “For this people’s heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
16 But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.”

Elijah the Tishbite excerpt:
“Israel’s royal line found Ahab in a pod
with Kings who’d done evil in the sight of God
Treaties made by Kings David & Solomon
foolishly paved way for all things Phoenician

Solomon unwisely set a precedent
He promoted nuptials out of covenant
And allowed their foreign idols in his court
Isn’t any wonder all’d soon God abort!

Privileges and Duties of Kings in Israel
Wealth & wives aplenty, these did not entail
Kings were to regard the torah as their guide;
Evidence of regal glory, lay aside

Wise King Solomon, his actions did defy
Torah’s regulations, “I will multiply...
Foreign royal wives & concubines galore...
And be not perverted by all this amour!

But it came to pass, when Solomon was old,
His wives turned away his heart as was foretold
Shifted his allegiance, the Covenant defied
This would cause the Kingdom of David to divide

Solomon had led the Israelites to sin
Idol worship wore God’s patience very thin
Mocked their own Deliv’rer, who had, the Canaanites,
Driven out before the chosen Israelites

Conditions for protection annulled as they partook
In the sins of heathens, and their God, forsook
Why preserve His Kingdom, who broke the Covenant,
He who forged it, had se - vere judgement now sent

The Lord stirred up advers’ries against Solomon:
Enemies sought vengeance for his father’s sin
And the heavy yoke, the taxes and the tolls
of this despot King caused sliding in the polls

Solomon’s division is reflected in
Israel’s disunion; Prophets judged their sin
Successively grew worse, the climax finally reached:
With Elijah’s voice, King Ahab he impeached

Bad as were the problems - of the former Kings
Ahab added to them, upped the sufferings
Of the Lord’s annointed; hence the atmosphere...
Reached a hostile crescent never so severe”

interesting poetry.

as you've likely noticed, my perspective on earth life isn't normal and is usually taken as heretical.

at times, I'll use scripture to make an unusual point, but the point will usually be one that isn't the obvious one. I am never intentionally cryptic but I do try to choose words so that people can see what they want to see.

not many people on earth today are looking for the final solution as described by Christ. Everyone needs to experience what they came here to experience.

I say all of this because I consider Jehovah as the Lord of this planet but not the Father of my soul, which is what I am. I am not a body but a son of God. no..I do not understand perfection, but I am aware of my true existence. Every Lord for their time and their congregation that needs them. Solomon sought out more than the average human understands or can even imagine. He became a heretic.

fringe lunatic? 8-) but I think that I reside more in the blasphemous crowd than you. There's an episode of 'Kung Fu" that has qui chane kang (sp) down in a pit, held captive, and he gets bit by a scorpion. In his apparent hallucination, "God" commands him to kneel before him. Chang calmly says something like "I have been taught to not honor such beings". (that command subservience). Not because humility is to be avoided but because of the command to bow to a 'God' that wants subservience.

Solomon was on to something. (ancient eastern teachings).

I like that phrase... wha twas it... Sword of Vengeance!? Sword of YHVH? Sounds pretty cool rpg.

As for blasphemy, I simply don't see nor fee the need to put labels on people, whether they are my rivals or enemies.

I was looking for a rental place today, and my mom got a phone number off facebook. We went to the property and saw that it was managed by some rental website that says they don't post ads on facebook. And they have a website for a self guided tour, since the door has an electronic lock on it.

I called the facebook number up and said I was there, and they said they would call me back.

I am guessing they were busy logging in and getting a self tour keycode to pass to me so I would think they were the home owner. They would not.

Was I angry about this? No. Did I feel the need to call them out as a con artist? No. I just told them the truth. THis property is managed by whatever and I called em up and they said somebody was already signing the lease. That is why you can't find it on the website to get a self tour key.

Was my mother upset? Oh yea, she is a normal person. Me? Heh, this is what happens when you do too much spiritual work and obtain my attainments.

No. He is impotent.

Doggerel.
You do well to “beware of doggerel poetry, beware of those evil writers, watch out for those who mutilate prophets & scripture with verse” (Phil 3:2), who make tripe an epic prophet as Elijah who should be treated to nothing less than dactylic hexameter. I’ll add further insult, I began writing it as an extra verse for the primary song “Follow the Prophet”. Back in ‘06 my neighbor boy Elijah marched around his piano as I played Follow the Prophet on their grand (shameful to admit for someone who mainly plays the 3 B’s). Proud of his namesake prophet Elijah, & realizing there was no Elijah verse, he plunked a pencil and tooth fairy note on my lap exclaiming: “write my verse!!” I began writing and couldn’t stop. During this period I lost my first husband so put it aside unfinished.
At least I didn’t add the brainwashing “Follow the Prophet” refrain. ;)
Now as a dog returneth to his vomit, here is the full capoodle:

Elijah was a prophet, foretold he'd return
Spoken of by Malachi, our hearts he would turn
“Before that glorious day with these Sealing Keys I hold
I will gather Israel back into the fold!”

Elijah’s great, prophetic mission would endure
Translated to heav’n - like Moses - to confer- ...
to - Peter, James and John, the power he possessed
Binding earth to heav’n that mankind might be blessed

Elijah tells the story of the stern prophet
Suddenly appeared this ‘Tishbite’ on the set
Went before the King, he boldly defied Ba’al:
Local deity of rain, lightning and hail

“By my word alone will rain fall in the land (1 Kings 17:1)
Thy counterfeit Priests can’t elements command”
Elijah’s fiery zeal was equal to the task
Of shattering false gods which Israel came to bask

Elijah sealed the heav’ns to bring about famine
He had been provoked by their idolatrous sin
With his Priesthood pow’r he chastised Israel
Ahab and his people the Prophet did warn well

Powerful King Ahab - affected such disgrace
By marrying a ‘princess’ - from a pagan place
Jezebel, now Queen, her dad was King Ethbaal:
A murderous imposter - his fraud-throne she doth hail

This Phoenician harlot brought the very worst
Of idol’trous worship, Israel became cursed
Corrupted courts of Ahab on the grandest scale
He became her puppet, promoting Priests of Baal

Prophets of Jehovah, refuge once had found
In the Northern Kingdom; now it was unsound
Baal’s Priests, four-fifty (450), four hundred, Ashtoreth
Supported at her table; the Lord’s she ordered death

Jezebel alleged herself a prophetess
In her pagan guilds, crept graven compromise
To advance their stations, many were beguiled
Rationed: morals not ostensibly defiled

Soon her evil sway began to take its hold
“We’ll adopt an idol or two into our fold
Where’s the harm in that?” They’d pridefully defend
“Enlightened syncretism like ours one should commend!”


This was utter breach in their contract with the Lord
“No gods have before me, Israel now has whored”
Idol worhipping filled God with jealousy
“I must needs divorce you for this adultery”

Generations past, the first commandment wrought...
constant struggle; Moses, the golden calf had fought
Though the 12 tribes yielded to past idolatry
True God was still worshipped, deuter’nomic’ly

Israel’s royal line found Ahab in a pod
with Kings who’d done evil in the sight of God
Treaties made by Kings David & Solomon
foolishly paved way for all things Phoenician

Solomon unwisely set a precedent
He promoted nuptials out of covenant
And allowed their foreign idols in his court
Isn’t any wonder all’d soon God abort!

Privileges and Duties of Kings in Israel
Wealth & wives aplenty, these did not entail
Kings were to regard the torah as their guide;
Evidence of regal glory, lay aside

Wise King Solomon, his actions did defy
Torah’s regulations, “I will multiply...
Foreign royal wives & concubines galore...
And be not perverted by all this amour!

But it came to pass, when Solomon was old,
His wives turned away his heart as was foretold
Shifted his allegiance, the Covenant defied
This would cause the Kingdom of David to divide

Solomon had led the Israelites to sin
Idol worship wore God’s patience very thin
Mocked their own Deliv’rer, who had, the Canaanites,
Driven out before the chosen Israelites

Conditions for protection annulled as they partook
In the sins of heathens, and their God, forsook
Why preserve His Kingdom, who broke the Covenant,
He who forged it, had se - vere judgement now sent

The Lord stirred up advers’ries against Solomon:
Enemies sought vengeance for his father’s sin
And the heavy yoke, the taxes and the tolls
of this despot King caused sliding in the polls

Solomon’s division is reflected in
Israel’s disunion; Prophets judged their sin
Successively grew worse, the climax finally reached:
With Elijah’s voice, King Ahab he impeached

Bad as were the problems - of the former Kings
Ahab added to them, upped the sufferings
Of the Lord’s annointed; hence the atmosphere...
Reached a hostile crescent never so severe

Jezebel blacklisted all of God’s prophets
Plotted on Elijah who escaped her threats
Guided to a brook near Jordan in God's care
God commanded ravens to feed Elijah there

Soon the brook dried up, and food was want to grow
God spake: “In Zarephath, of Sidon is a widow
She will there sustain you”, it was thus foretold:
Meal barrel and cruse miraculously flowed

Readily she gave him her last meal’s meat
O-be-di-ence rendered reward doubly sweet
Her increase of faith did equal recompense
Of increase in substance, God’s own providence

Jezebel’s ploys God had cleverly unfurled
Honor puts God on the weak things of the world
In her own homeland, God for Elijah found
A humble hiding place, this harlot to confound

When this kindly widow’s sick son lost his breath
She was deeply troubled; her sin caused his death?
Elijah in his chamber, thrice prayed this refrain:
“Let this chi-ild’s soul, come into him again”

Then the young boy’s life was graciously restored
Miracles do follow those who trust the Lord!
Often others God will use to meet our needs
Strengthening our faith, all wisdom God exceeds!

God’s voice in the 3rd year of his sojourn came
“Show thyself to Ahab, his god I will shame”.
On his journeying through dry Samaria
Met Ahab’s house gov’nor, good Obadiah...

Told to search for brooks and founts in the dry-spell
He hoped to find grass, their - flock’s hunger to quell
A servant of the Lord, one hundred he did save...
Prophet’s of Jehovah, hid them in a cave

Elijah urged this servant: “report me to thy lord”
Great fear fell on him for this did strike a chord
He’d searched for Elijah, scoured the kingdoms ‘round
They had made him oath Elijah was not found

Elijah hushed his fears and promised as he spake
“Before the King I’ll go this day for heaven’s sake!”
The servant did announce and the King to him did go
“Art thou he that troubleth Israel, I must know!”

Elijah to the King answered “What a foolish tale!
Forsaking the commandments in favor of false Baal
Your sinful polices were the reason drought was sent
Might have been prevented but you would not repent”

“Gather me all Israel - unto Mount Carmel
Summon Baal’s prophets to be there as well
There we’ll have a contest, between the Lord and Baal
He who sends fire reigns, follow Him who doth prevail!”

Elijah was the only Prophet of the Lord
Ba-al’s were 450, not to be ignored!
Stacked the cards in favor of his enemies;
Gave home field advant-age, as an added tease

Baal was the ‘Sun-god’ who surely would send fire
Went first while the sun shone, wouldn’t this inspire!
Cut their bullock up and laid it on the wood
Called on Baal for fire, but Baal misunderstood!

Continued in this vein from morning until noon
Elijah mocked them grimly, his words did impugn
They were in a frenzy, sarcastic jokes had spurred
Lanced themselves, leapt wild, their cries were undeterred

Still no sign by ev'ning, no answer nor regard
Elijah stepped up next, his God would soon bombard!
12 stones gathered up, God’s alter to restore (1 Kings 18:30)
Symbolizing 12 tribes unified once more!

Made a trench about the alter to contain
The equivalence - of - seed to measure twain
Put the logs in order, the bullock pieces, laid,
down upon the wood as Isra-el surveyed

Twelve barrels of water, on the alter poured
"Turn their hearts to Thee", Elijah God implored
That their seeds of faith might saturated be
by Thy Word - the wa-ter - in this analogy

The Lord poured down great fire, consumed the sacrifice...
The wood, the stones, the dust, but that would not suffice
The fi-re licked the water in the alter’s trench
Blazing mightily, the water could not quench!

Routing of false prophets to occur anon
Slai-in by decree beside the brook Kishon
Conveyed their blood to sea, they: ‘let not one escape'
Land no more defiled by child off'rings nor rape

Elijah to the King spake "Get thee to thy tent
Comfort take for rain will abundantly be sent’;
Elijah to the top of Mount Carmel did go
Knelt and prayed that God would cause the rain to flow

Sent his servant to go look towards the sea
He said "There is nothing"; Seven times sent he
Finally a little cloud appeared at length
Looking like a man’s hand, Elijah did gain strength!

We must not the day of small things e’er despise
Small beginnings often great blessings arise
Answers come not quickly, faint not nor give o’er
Fervently press on, great blessings He will pour

Soon the little cloud spanned ‘fore their very eyes
Spreading o’er the heav’ns, expanding o’er the skies
The Prophet said to Ahab: "Prepare thy chariot
Hasten to thy home, the rain to stop thee not

Heav’n grew black with clouds and rain in the meanwhile
Ahab proved again to be son of Be-li-al
Rode to Jezre-el - in his - royal chariot
Elijah ran ahead like a proletariat

Still, displayed respect for the monarch as he ran
Humbly served the King just as a loy'l footman
In all civil matters, honored royalty
Zeal only roused by their idolatry

Strengthened by the Lord to run this marathon
All along the torrent of River Kishon
Girded up his loins and laid aside all weight (Heb 12:1)
Unimpeded, finally, reached Jezre-el’s gate!
