The first chapter of the Bible is Genesis which means the beginning and the end of the Bible is the Revelations which shows the end of the world through an apocalypse.

This is a story of the end towards the new beginning, a new world where God abandons the humans, he let all hell loose on Earth.

Pastor Keith Wardlow is on the stage in front of his Tuesday evening Bible study group. The Pastor is agitated. He paces back and forth working to gather his words. He's holding a book in his hand, and it's not the Good Book. Pastor Keith is a lanky, fifty-four-year-old, white Mid-Westerner. His face is wrinkling and showing his years. He wears Levis and cowboy boots. His plaid flannel shirt is untucked. He dresses this way even for Sunday service.
The people of Burwell, Nebraska, are regular working folk. So is their pastor. The most striking thing about Pastor Keith is his Jesus' hair, as some people call it. He knows his long hair, once dark brown, now almost pure white, might be offensive to some, so he wears it in a ponytail. Pastor Keith grew up in this town with these people. He has been a man of God since he was a teenager. 
"It's come to my attention several members of our church have been reading this book." He holds up the book Straight Up: Ten Ways for Christians to Prepare for the Rapture. Pastor Keith wants to say, "How can you people be reading such crap?" but he bites his tongue. Several of the Bible study group of thirty souls nod their heads in confirmation. Pastor Keith shakes the book at his congregates. "Some of my lambs have strayed. God spoke to my heart. He said, Gather the stray lambs of your flock. They are in danger! A-men!"
He looks at the cover of the book. "I know books like these are written by well-intended Christians. A famous pastor, out in California, wrote this one. But I tell you. The Devil got hold of that man's mind. People let me ask you. Do you know what's wrong with this book?"
There are murmurs among the congregation until an older woman named Beatrice shouts, "Tell us, Pastor."
"Bless you, Bea. Books like this cause people to be nervous and afraid." Keith studies the book, turning it over in his hands. "Not to mention, it's an actual printed book! With the book tax, these things cost a fortune. But I'm not here to mind your pocket. No, ma'am!"
He holds the book over his head. "The problem with books like this: they ask you to focus on things we can't know and cannot control. What good comes from studying signs, warning of the end times, or predicting when the Rapture will occur? Will knowing such a thing help you prepare? Will it help you live your life better? I say no!"
Pastor Keith points to the crowd. "And Frank Brown, if you spent more time taking care of your wife instead of building that submarine. I can't imagine what got into you, thinking the Earth will flood and a submarine will save you in the middle of Nebraska." The study group laughs. Frank sits in his pew, arms folded, wearing a tight, grim face.
It was quite an event when the TV show, Doomsday Daredevils, came to film Frank and his submarine. The show's host seemed serious during the filming, but when the episode aired, Frank appeared ridiculous and crazy.
Pastor Keith continues, picking up his Bible. "Frank, if you just read the good book instead of reading books like this rapture nonsense, you'd know God promised there will be no other floods." 
"I didn't buy any stupid rapture book, Keith." Frank looks to his wife, Debbie. "God spoke to me, just like he does in the Bible. Laugh if you like. I never said the Earth will flood. I didn't question God, and I don't have to sit here and take your crap." He stands and holds his hand out to his wife. "Come on, Debbie doll. We're leaving," he says. Debbie stands, stepping sideways between the pews to the aisle. Frank and Debbie walk out of the small church. A copy of the rapture book is on the pew where Debbie sat.
Pastor Keith waits for Frank and Debbie to leave before continuing. "Frank and Debbie are our friends. Most of us have known them our whole lives. I'll have to apologize to Frank, and I will do that. Wandering from the word causes trouble and confusion. We must focus on the word."
Keith gauges his flock. Are they upset about the episode with Frank? He doesn't sense any tension, so he continues. "Well, just so happens, tonight is Bible study. We're here to learn and study the word."
Keith sits on the edge of the stage, looking through his notes. "The Book of Revelation tells us mankind will go through a terrible time of tribulation. Who wouldn't want to avoid this time of death and misery if you can escape it? The idea of a pre-tribulation rapture, however, is not biblical. The rapture concept was created and promoted in the early nineteenth century and is a myth. This lie was repeated, written about, and promoted to the point most Christians don't question where the idea came from, or if it's biblical. The word rapture isn't in the Bible. It's a made-up word; a bad translation."
Keith now has their attention. "Books like this scare good Christians, like y'all here, into believing you aren't good enough, or righteous enough, to be saved. They say you need to be more than a good Christian to be saved. This is false teaching by false prophets, as Jesus warned."
The old woman, Beatrice asks, "If there is no rapture, when will we be taken up to be with Jesus?"
"Yes, when?" asks another voice in the crowd.
Pastor Keith sets his notes beside him on the stage and stands. "Concerning that day and hour, no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only. That is Matthew 24, verse 36."
Pastor Keith watches the congregation's reaction. He doesn't want them to lose hope. 
"We must wait until the end of tribulation. We must wait for the second coming of Christ, and that does not happen until after great tribulations. So, when will Jesus take us up with him? In John 6, verse 40, Jesus tells us. And this is the will of him who sent me… that everyone who sees the Son and believes on him may have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. So, we must all be patient in our faith until that last day, when Christ returns."
Pastor Keith walks to his pulpit and again picks up the rapture book. "So, you don't need this book. You need not follow silly rules written by false prophets scaring you into spending your hard-earned money."
Beatrice takes the rapture book out of her purse, stands, and tosses it in the aisle. "Thank you, Pastor Keith. I don't need this book. I was led astray, Lord forgive me." The woman sits down, repentant.
One man tosses his rapture book in the aisle, then asks. "But, what about the signs? The signs show the end times are near. I've heard said the Four Wars are the four horsemen. What do you say about that pastor?" 
Pastor Keith waves his hand in a downward motion, signaling the man to sit down. "Douglas, we don't need a list of signs. If we read the Book of Revelation, we can see what will happen. There is nothing to interpret. Revelation 6, verse 13. And the stars of Heaven fell unto Earth, even as a fig tree casts her untimely figs when she is shaken of a mighty wind. This is the start of tribulation. So, when the stars in heaven fall on Earth, that will be the sign you can believe."
Keith wants to wrap things up. "Since this is a very interesting topic, let's all read Matthew 24 and Revelation. Get through as much of it as you can—Revelation can be a tough one. We don't spend enough time on that book, which has become clear tonight."
Pastor Keith concludes the Bible study with a prayer, followed by handshakes and hugs. Later, he gathers the rapture books from the floor and tosses them in the trash bin.

An asteroid storm of apocalyptic proportions is headed for Earth.
A mysterious group within the government called the Arcadian’s led by Colonel Cruikshank knows the storm is coming. This corrupt shadow government has taken extreme measures to keep the storm secret while building underground cities to protect the few and the fortunate. Cruikshank’s goal is that after the storm passes his survivors will emerge from the protected cities as a more perfect humanity. He is determined to create his Utopian society, no matter what it takes.
Rick Munday is a husband, father, and struggling Astrophysicist who needs his research grant approved. When Cruikshank learns that Rick’s grant proposal predicts the asteroid storm, Cruikshank drugs and kidnaps Rick, securing him in the underground city of New Arcadia. 
On his quest to escape the Arcadian’s and reach his family, Rick, and friends he meets on his journey use high-tech hacking skills to warn the world of the coming disaster, expose the underground cities, and save thousands more souls. Captain Kobalt, Cruikshank’s enforcer chases Rick and his friends across America in an epic adventure leading to a climactic conflict between Rick and Kobalt. 
Asteroids–Bridge to Nowhere is a fast-paced near-future dystopian adventure. Watch out! Tribulation will get you out there….

Dear Z and A,
I know you two have a lot on your plate. But I hope you find time to study this. I offered L to send him some of my sermon notes so that he can peruse it as it seems that giving him this information would be extremely beneficial for the future. But he rejected it.
He said that he would rather listen to me speak about it personally. Apparently, he wants to believe in it and given his intellectual bias, he may turn deaf ears to the lessons in my notes. He wanted to not only know of what I know but have a chance in believing and he hopes that listening to me would do far more benefit than just reading some letters. I understand his intentions. The best way to learn about something is to believe in it. So he suggested having a personal meeting. I'm wanted to conduct a Bible study but with the way things are now, I guess it will have to wait.
Z, I hope our previous discussions from so long ago, (it feels like it's been another lifetime, right?) have somehow created a foundation of belief. Perhaps what had happened to you is one of the miracles that the Almighty allowed. I firmly believe this. So I am hoping this letter would allow you to better understand what actions to take and that you could pass this information along to anyone who you think could help in this. You have been taking the right steps and I guess it would be attributed to our talks from long ago.
Anyway, here is the draft of a conference message I've prepared to give on one of our upcoming Bible Conferences. Perhaps this may give you some insight on what to do with your life and how you can be of benefit to the lives of others.
Also, that kid from Psalms 1 might also benefit from reading this. I have a feeling that he wouldn't want to attend a Bible study hosted by me because of our 'conflicting' methods.
Best regards,
Calvin Luther Eagle Senior Pastor at Grace From God Ministries

A Study on Typology (I will be discussing more of this during the Bible Study and explain the key aspects in detail. Treat this study as a primer for the things to be discussed soon.)
Prophecy has always been something that people found intriguing and mystifying.
The Bible contains the most prophecies that have been accurately fulfilled in human history.
For example, the prophecy on Tyre in Ezekiel 26…
In that Prophecy, several prophetic elements that seem extremely unlikely to be fulfilled if we apply the science of probability. For the sake of time, I will only go over several key aspects of the Prophecies and will not deal with any other prophecies made against Tyre on other verses in the Bible.
I have selected five of the 'most intriguing' prophecies that were fulfilled right down to the dot and remind you, that the chapter consists of more elements that have been fulfilled.
As a background, Tyre as a city is composed of two parts. One city in the mainland, called 'Ushu' or Old Tyre, and another city built on a small island about half a mile away from the shore of Old Tyre. This city on the small island is commonly known as Tyre.
In Ezekiel 26, Tyre was supposed to be:
1.       Attacked by Nebuchadnezzar (v. 7)
2.       Attacked by "many nations" (v.3)
3.       The stone and timbers of this city would be thrown in the sea (v.12)
4.       Will be scrapped like a bare rock (v.4)
5.       The Ocean depths will rise over it (v.19)
A popular opinion regarding prophecies is that any prophecy may eventually be fulfilled as time pass by as the things that have been written may be fulfilled by chance. If Chapter 26 of Ezekiel talks about any city, with any conqueror, that is indeed true but this chapter exclusively talks about the city of Tyre.
This prophecy is not talking of any city. No, it's not the city of New Birth Forth or the City of World's Helm. It's taking about the city of Tyre.
And this city is to be attacked by Nebuchadnezzar. Not by Hitler, not by the Fire Nation, not by Team Rocket, but by Nebuchadnezzar. A specific person living in a specific time. And this city would also be attacked by many nations, its stone and timbers would be thrown in the sea and the city will be scrapped like a bare rock and that the Ocean will somehow rise over the city itself. It's interesting how specific it is.
Now, historically, the first aspect was easily fulfilled.
About a decade after the prophecy was believed to be written, Nebuchadnezzar attacked the city and we have evidence to support this historic fact. But Nebuchadnezzar was only able to conquer Old Tyre as the other city on the small island was naturally protected by the sea and Tyre had an impressive fleet of ships.
So none of the other prophecies were fulfilled. Numbers two to five on our prophecy list were not fulfilled during this attack.
Should we now mock the Bible for its inaccuracy?
Be aware, that the remaining clauses of this prophecy are almost impossible to fulfill.
Why would the city be attacked and someone would be so bored as to take the stones and timbers from the wrecked city and throw it on the ocean? Why would they do that to the point of scrapping the ruins of the city to a point that what remains will look like a bare rock? And how will the ocean rise over it?
The fulfillment of the other aspects of the prophecy occurred nearly 200 years later.
The Prophecy was written sometime on 587-586 BC, Nebuchadnezzar attacked it on 573BC, but the fulfillment of prophecy points numbers 2-5 would be on 332BC when a man who conquered nations led an army consisting of armies coming from different nations and attacked the very city of Tyre.
We know this man to be "Alexander the Great."
We know Alexander the Great would force another nation to submit and aid him in his conquest so many nations could easily be fulfilled at this point.
He led his armies and attacked Tyre, conquering Old Tyre once more. But this wasn't enough.
Tyre was arrogant and mocked Alexander for failing once more as the settlers have retreated to their city-island protected by their vast fleet of ships. Seeing as how Tyre remained safe like a turtle and having the sea as a natural barrier with a fleet of ships that even Alexander the Great could not easily destroy, Alexander and his armies came up with an ingenious plan.
A great task of building a man-made bridge from the coast of Old Tyre to New Tyre started. Alexander ordered his men to take the ruins of Old Tyre, throw it to the sea to build a bridge to which they can use to attack the city of Tyre.
In this, Prophecy points numbers 2-4 have been fulfilled. The prophecies which seem almost impossible actually happened.
Many nations came, attacked Tyre, took the ruins of the city and threw it to the ocean to make a small bridge, scrapping Old Tyre like a rock.
But what about number 5?
Well, because of the man-made bridge which supported and allowed Alexander to send his armies to attack Tyre, the topography of the island changed making the bridge leading to Tyre into a peninsula which exists to this day. Because of this change which led to a massive geographic change on the area, the location of the Old Tyre was eventually buried by sand and water ultimately, burying the location of Old Tyre underwater forever.
God sent Nebuchadnezzar and later fulfilled it some 200 years later in the person of Alexander the Great. But the last bit of prophecy would be fulfilled about a thousand years later as the coastline of Tyre changed because of the man-made bridge of Alexander.
Now you calculate the odds of this prophecy being fulfilled? What other nation, since 587 BC, was named Tyre, attacked by a Nebuchadnezzar and later by many nations, and apparently, the entire city structure is thrown to the sea, scraped like bare rock, and later sinks to the ocean? What are the odds of that happening? And remember, I haven't listed ALL the prophecies that Tyre is supposed to fulfill!
Now this may come as an intriguing historical study, but the reason I'm discussing Tyre is to formally challenge whether or not this Prophecy would have only ONE fulfillment or will it be fulfilled again? What if, the verses in the Bible may be foreshadowing something that will happen in the future.
Now, let me clarify, I honestly believe that in Ezekiel 26, most of the prophecies written there have already been fulfilled. What I'm saying, is that we open our exegesis to the possibility that it could be fulfilled again!
How would something that had literally happened be fulfilled again? To argue, I would like to point you to the study of Eschatology, or the interpretation of the End of Times. We call it the Apocalypse, the Last Days and so on. Many camps and theological schools all have different opinions and interpretations as to their fulfillment. And throughout the course of history, there have been several interpretations which the people of that time were sure of because it made sense.
During the time of Apostolic era, if you read the Book of Revelation, you would say, the anti-Christ is Rome.
Hundreds of years later, Martin Luther made the same conclusion during the Reformation period. Their study of the Word led to this conclusion.
Back in World War 2, everyone believed that the Anti-Christ was Hitler. The Jews who suffered so much would certainly think so as well.
During World War 3, everyone then blamed Graden Pouterfisx to be the Anti-Christ as it led to the further destruction of Israel.
Right now, because of the Australian Avarice, many even say that Australia is the Anti-Christ.
And for the Australian natives of today, they would say, Harker or that gamer-turned-terrorist Lowengren is the Anti-Christ. (Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised.)
Others believe, that it's the World Governing Powers, and still some point to that miraculous E-Sport Gamer, Seeker Carlean to be the Anti-Christ as he must have sold his soul to the devil to be that good in Piercing! (Z, as you noticed, I like to add current events like this as a sermon illustrations to draw attention to the younger audience. It really makes most gamers listen to my sermon if I mention famous e-sport players.)
And quite honestly, except those saying its Seeker, the rest had a valid reason to claim that this was the Anti-Christ as they displayed a shocking level of depravity, wickedness, and immorality.
Are we to assume that they were all wrong? Perhaps… Or maybe perhaps from Hitler, all the way to the Australian Avarice, they have been "Types" or signs that will simply point us to a Final Anti-Christ. Perhaps, God, in order to constantly remind us that His Word is True and indeed miraculous, has destined history, as written in the Bible to have several fulfillments, many of which are partial fulfillments or foreshadowing to a final fulfillment?
And it is in this vein, that we find ourselves in the study of Typology.
Typology is the study of signs, symbols and the interpretation of Types.
Let me take a positive example to further cement my case…
You've heard me say several times that I say Samuel in the book of 1 Samuel of a "typology" or a sign that points to Jesus. In many ways, an appropriate approach would be to read 1 Samuel with the assumption that Samuel foreshadows Jesus.
If we go to the prophecy in 1 Samuel 2, God got angry at the current High Priest, Eli, and prophesied to Eli that Eli's lineage would-be priest who wouldn't reach old age and that their line would stop serving in the altar. After that, God gave this prophecy in 1 Samuel 2:35,
"I will raise up for myself a faithful priest, who will do according to what is in my heart and mind. I will firmly establish his priestly house, and they will minister before my anointed one always."
Now the immediate assumption as to the fulfillment of this prophecy, if we follow that story, is that we would assume it to be fulfilled through the priest to Samuel. Samuel took over when Eli died, he ministered faithfully and replaced the line of Priest that served in Israel.
According to the Bible, we do not have any records of Samuel ever committing sin, and even on his death, he challenged Israel of this, to which Israel responded that they have noted no sin in Samuel's lifetime. If you think David had a magnificent title, "a man after God's own heart," consider Samuel's title. A man who will do according to God's own heart and mind.
But on the other hand, many would challenge that this verse does not refer to Samuel but to Jesus because of the clause that this priest will "minister before God's anointed ones, always." Which basically implies this priestly line will forever serve God. And only Jesus could fulfill this role.
My interpretation and I hope this congregation's interpretation and conviction, would be that this verse was fulfilled in two ways.
Samuel was the initial fulfillment and is a typology to the final fulfillment, which is Jesus.
The Bible has been doing this several times and using a certain Old Testament verse and make it a sign that eventually points to Jesus. In other words, these verses have more than one fulfillment.
A partial fulfillment of the sign in the form of Samuel, a righteous Priest who was impeccable in actions and wisdom, and later the Great High Priest that we have in Jesus.
1 Samuel also introduces David, a typology of Jesus in the areas of being a King.
But of course, this alone could not be supporting evidence for my theory in the study of Typologies. So let's take a look at another interesting and puzzling verse which shows a unique example of a typology.
We go to Hosea 11:1 and find an interesting phrase here that was used by the Gospel writer Matthew.
"Out of Egypt, I called my Son."
This is a strange verse to use because mainly, according to the context of Hosea 11:1, the son here refers to the nation Israel. Why did Matthew later use this verse to mean Jesus? We all stand with the idea that the Holy Scripture is inerrant. So why would Matthew, in the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, use this verse in its wrong context?
My answer is Typology.
Let us first analyze what's going on in Matthew.
Joseph and Mary had escaped from Bethlehem because of Herod. They lived in Egypt and waited for Herod to die. Upon Herod's death, Joseph returns to Israel and so, Matthew summarizes it in verse 15 of chapter 2, And so was fulfilled what the Lord had said through the prophet: "Out of Egypt I called my son."
Matthew quotes Hosea 11:1 and immediately assumes that this is speaking of Jesus when in actuality, the context rules that we so hardly adhere to, dictates that Hosea 11 is talking about the nation Israel!
Typology easily resolves this issue. If we are to assume that Israel has always been a typology of Jesus, a temporary sign and can have more than one fulfillment in the great passage of time, we can then easily accept this verse.
By accepting that Israel in Hosea 11, represents Jesus, we can actually see that in many ways Israel did foreshadow Jesus.
Jesus, like Israel, stays in Egypt and leaves to return to the Promised Land. Jesus, Like Israel, is sent to the wilderness to spend a passage of time connected with the number of 40. Israel spent 40 years wandering in the desert, Jesus spent 40 days in the desert.
The Gospel records that Jesus was sent to the wilderness to be tempted and tried, wasn't this the case for Israel?
And isn't it interesting, that in the famous encounter between Jesus and the Devil in that same wilderness where Israel was tested, Jesus answered the Devil quoting verses from the book of Deuteronomy?
Deuteronomy discusses most of the consequences that Israel suffered because they failed. In this Typology, Jesus acts as the perfect version of Israel. He goes out of Egypt, is tempted by the devil in the wilderness exposing Him to hunger, thirst, and the danger of being killed by wild animals.
In Israel's hunger, they complained to God, and the reluctant response of God was to send Manna from heaven, Satan uses this same strategy and tells Jesus to make stone bread, but Jesus quotes from Deuteronomy saying that man shall not live by bread alone.
Jesus fasted in that 40 days in the desert. The Israelites feasted with unlimited manna and even by sending birds which the Israelites can easily capture and eat. I can go on and on, but if you analyze the remaining challenges that Satan poised to Jesus, we find that the Israelites actually failed on all of these temptations. In fact, I would go as far to say that the temptations Jesus faced and the temptations Israel faced were roughly the same!
But it doesn't stop here, if you've read through the Bible, you will know that the moment Israel finally enters the Promised Land, you'll be reading through the Book of Joshua. And in Hebrew, the name for Joshua is Yeshua, the very same name to which we translate the Name, Jesus!
So Joshua becomes a typology, a foreshadowing that the book of Joshua will also repeat in history. We've already seen hints of that! That scene in Joshua 10 where kings in their retreat hid in caves to flee from Israel. Is this not the same vivid imagery explained in the book of Revelation which will be the scene when Jesus returns?
At this point, I argue, that perhaps in the dogmatic ways of our interpretation of Scripture, we have long set aside the possibility that if the Bible is promised to be the Word of God, Inerrant, relevant and true, then would it not be true for all ages? Is it possible to see this foreshadowing's again and again?
I will not be surprised, ladies and gentlemen, that in the near future, the very events we read in the book of Revelation will become a typology! A sign that we may soon see, in anticipation of the Second Coming!
We have long interpreted the book of Revelation and its various events to have passed! How many writers and Bible teachers have risen up to explain how World War Three fulfilled many of the verses in Revelation.
I'm not saying they're wrong. I'm saying they could be right. But in this sense, that what they explained are but typologies and these signs that may repeat itself unto final fulfillment.
So read the Book of Revelation! Read the book of Joshua! Read the Book of Daniel! Of Zacharias, of the many verses and the many books in the Bible which speaks or alludes to the coming end!
We could all come witness to various typologies of events that will have its ultimate fulfillment when Christ return. As for me, I may sound insane, but with the recent events that have been happening, I am certain now, we will bear witness to many foreshadowing's itself! Make no mistake!
Perhaps, in the coming days, chaos will be revealed. And perhaps, in the coming days, someone will rise up perhaps as another foreshadowing of Jesus who will appear in Power and Might! Perhaps, in the days to come, you will all see the Way!
Let's close in prayer…
(A and Z, I do hope this gives us a roadmap of future actions you have to take. Revisit the stories in the Old Testament. I have a feeling that one of our friends may be anticipating the revisiting and fulfillment of the prophecies in Egypt. It might take some time until the Bible study after all. So the specific plans that I have in mind to make the world believe in God  cannot be explained. For now, read and follow the Word. Oh, and if C and G are free, have them visit me here in the Americas.)


An alien race invaded the Earth on June 6, 2128. At the midst of this war, many nations allied with the alien threat and the war nearly wiped out the rebelling humans of the planet. At the edge of mankind's survival, the United Nations Army launched its forces to eliminate the immediate stellar threats that loomed over Earth.

General Seeker Carlean, commander and leader of the mission, risked and gave his life to destroy the immediate stellar threat. The battle was won though Earth lay in ruins. Perhaps mankind will live to see a few years of peace before the alien threat returns to wipe out their existence.

At the immediate aftermath of the stellar battle, the fallen Seeker Carlean awakens and finds himself at aged 17, living the peaceful life he lived 16 years before he died.

So begins a new game in the battle for humanity's survival.

The entire crowd went into a dead silence. 
They didn't see clearly how she broke the plate, nor how the pieces shot into the man's body. 
Shen Ming got a sudden scare. Mu Changfeng's daughter… has she practiced the Five Treasures Bible? 
Villa Head Nie blackened his face and whispered to Shen Ming, "Brother Shen, there's gonna be a problem now." 
"The problem might come later…" Shen Ming also had a bad feeling. 
Ming Shu rested her hands on her crossed legs and maintained a smiling face. "Now, is there anyone who wants to find it?" 
Shen Ming suppressed his inner fidgeting and went up to feel that person's  pulse. They were still alive and bleeding heavily, but they wouldn't die. 
This woman…
Shen Ming ordered people to take the injured for treatment first, then he and Villa Head Nie discussed for a while. 
"Okay, we'll search the villa. But if it's not found, Leader Mu, you will not walk out of Half Moon Villa today." 
Ming Shu smiled and kept silent. 
If she couldn't walk out of the villa, she could always kill herself and get out. 
...
Villa Head Nie scattered the people to search. 
Then he took Shen Ming back to his study. 
"Mu Changfeng's daughter, is she coming back for revenge?" Villa Head Nie walked back and forth in the room anxiously. "I sent the news to you, but why did you bring so many people here? There are so many people now…" 
Shen Ming's face looked unhappy as well. "I didn't send news to them. They arrived at the same time as me, it must be your villa that revealed it." 
"Impossible, I ordered…" But Villa Head Nie suddenly remembered something. "It's them." 
The man who slept with Nie Shuang, he told him to go back and prepare for the marriage, so he was the only one that left the villa recently. 
"As for how the news was spread, we should put it to the side first. Not many people know about that matter so there's no need to worry. What's important now is the Five Treasures Bible. The initial news about it said that it was taken by your daughter. Do you really have the Five Treasures Bible in hand now?" 
Villa Head Nie shook his head. "I have never wanted to see Five Treasures Bible in my whole life. I asked Shuang-er, she said she was framed by Mu Ling. Mu Ling came at Half Moon Villa from the very beginning, perhaps she… has known something." 
"Since you don't have anything in the villa, just let them search," Shen Ming said. "I don't believe that if she really had the Five Treasures Bible, she would hide it in the villa and allow these people to grab it." 
Then, Shen Ming patted Villa Head Nie's shoulder. "Even if she is Mu Changfeng's daughter, she is no more than an ignorant girl." 
Villa Head Nie's eyes darkened and then he nodded slightly. 
The two discussed in the study for a little longer before leaving. 
The corridor outside was in chaos, which made Villa Head Nie very unhappy. But Shen Ming signaled him to hang in there for a while. If he didn't let these people search, there was going to be a real trouble. 
The entire villa was searched through by these people. Servants stood to the side trembling and watched these bandits rummaging through boxes and closets. 
"Brother… what's going on?" Nie Shuang looked at the people in her room and furrowed her brow heavily. 
Nie Bin touched Nie Shuang's head. "Nothing special, it'll be okay in a minute. You people search quickly, my sister is not feeling well." 
The people finished the search very soon but found nothing. They walked out and looked at the front. "Is there a room over there?" 
Nie Bin nodded. "That's my second younger sister's room, she's not been in the villa recently." 
"Go search." 
"Brother, what are they looking for? Did the villa offend anyone?" 
Nie Bin didn't intend to tell Nie Shuang, but Nie Shuang's expecting eyes just made him speak spontaneously. "The leader of Five Treasures Immortal Clan said that the Five Treasures Bible is hidden in our villa, so those clans want to search the place." 
How could the Five Treasures Bible be in the villa? 
Did that woman think that it was on her, so she came to Half Moon Villa? 
Seeing Nie Shuang's face became a little pale, Nie Bin hurriedly asked, "Shuang-er, what's wrong?" 
"Brother…" Nie Shuang grabbed Nie Bin's hand. "It's a good chance, we can take the opportunity to leave here." 
"But, Father…" They were in the midst of such a big matter, how could he leave? 
"Brother, if we miss this opportunity, father will definitely exert greater control over me, until that man comes to marry me. Do you want to stand by and watch me marry another, then never meet each other again?" 
Nie Bin had some inner conflict and then said, "Pack up your stuff and we'll meet at the back door." 
...
Villa Head Nie and Shen Ming came back to the hall. Right now the hall was occupied only by leaders of several clans who were looking at different directions. The atmosphere was a little odd. 
As they came in, a quick shadow darted to Ming Shu's feet and jumped onto Ming Shu's slightly open palm. Then Ming Shu turned over her palm and the shadow tucked itself in her sleeves. 
Little Beastie spotted a comfortable place in the sleeve and lay down, then accurately imitated the conversation it had overheard to Ming Shu. 
Ming Shu looked in the direction of Shen Ming and Villa Head Nie thoughtfully. 
The entire villa was turned upside down and no one had found any trace of the Five Treasures Bible. 
Poop-picker, are you not afraid that they will hide it when they find it? 
"They won't recognize the Five Treasures Bible, how will they hide it?" Ming Shu sneered in the bottom of her heart. "Do you think 'Five Treasures Bible' is printed on its cover?" 
Little Beastie was confused. Is it not? Then what's on the cover? 
"Guess."
I will not guess. 
Little Beastie grunted and complained. I knew the poop-picker wouldn't really be so kind to let these people find it. 
Insidious!
Don't forget my Man-Han full banquet that you promised. 
As expected, those people didn't recognize Five Treasures Bible. They took all the books that they thought were the Five Treasures Bible back and presented them to the clan leaders to look over. 
Soon the hall was piled with many books. 
Ming Shu just sat there calmly and she even asked Villa Head Nie to prepare tea and desserts for her. 
"I've searched all the villa and found nothing." 
"I found nothing…" 
Disciples came back to report constantly, but no one had found the Five Treasures Bible. 
"Devil, what else do you have to say now?" 
Ming Shu finished the last sip of tea and stood up while holding the tea cup, walking to the book pile. "You didn't find it because you're stupid." 
She reached out and picked out a slightly old book from the pile. The other books collapsed immediately. 
Ming Shu raised the book in her hand. "Thank you for your help, everyone." 
Everyone looked at the book in her hand, on which it read—"Cookbook."
Cook! Book!
Two big Chinese characters. 
"Devil, can't you read? Even if you can't read, the Five Treasures Bible is three words, but this is two words, who are you kidding?" 
"Kidding you." 
"You…"
Ming Shu took the book and sat back down. Everyone saw the cover font begin to fade and the two golden words of Five Treasures reappeared on it. 
No "Bible," only "Five Treasures." 
Ming Shu deliberately held the book high for them. "I told you that this thing was definitely hidden here, but you didn't believe me, so I'm not the one who should be blamed."
It was really the Five Treasures Bible. 
Shen Ming looked at Villa Head Nie. 
Villa Head Nie shook his head. He really had no idea that the Five Treasures Bible was in Half Moon Villa. 
Some people became irritated, especially those who found the cookbook and read it. "But you didn't tell us the Five Treasures Bible is a cookbook!!" 
Ming Shu sounded very innocent. "You didn't ask." 
Everyone: "…" Who the hell would have thought that the Five Treasures Bible is a cookbook? No one said this before. 
Even Shen Ming and Villa Head Nie didn't know this. They once saw the book from afar and the eye-catching golden name of Five Treasures was easy to recognize. 
Who'd have thought that it changed… 
"Where was it found?" Someone kept his voice down and asked this. 
"In Second Young Miss Nie's room," the one who found the book answered with a complicated expression. 
"Why was it in Second Young Miss Nie's room?" 
"…"
How would he know? 


Imagine having the opportunity to be able to enter different worlds created by numerous novels and stories. Which kind of role would you like to play? 

Do you want to be the illustrious protagonist, either good or evil; or just be a supporting role standing behind the protagonists? 

Our villain boss Ming Shu would, however, choose none of the above. Claiming missions from the Harmony System, and driven by her endless passion for snacks, the world traveler, Ming Shu, embarks on the path to make the mission target hate her as much as possible by gaining Hatred Points. But it turns out she is not alone on her journey…

WELCOME 

Have you ever read the entire Bible at least once? If you have, share how this experience affected your relationship with God & others. If you have not share what hinders you from doing so & what will you do to overcome that starting this week.

WORD

Acts 17:1-15 New International Version (NIV) says

In Thessalonica

17 When Paul and his companions had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a Jewish synagogue. 2 As was his custom, Paul went into the synagogue, and on three Sabbath days he reasoned with them from the Scriptures, 3 explaining and proving that the Messiah had to suffer and rise from the dead. "This Jesus I am proclaiming to you is the Messiah," he said. 4 Some of the Jews were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas, as did a large number of God-fearing Greeks and quite a few prominent women.

5 But other Jews were jealous; so they rounded up some bad characters from the marketplace, formed a mob and started a riot in the city. They rushed to Jason's house in search of Paul and Silas in order to bring them out to the crowd.[a] 6 But when they did not find them, they dragged Jason and some other believers before the city officials, shouting: "These men who have caused trouble all over the world have now come here, 7 and Jason has welcomed them into his house. They are all defying Caesar's decrees, saying that there is another king, one called Jesus." 8 When they heard this, the crowd and the city officials were thrown into turmoil. 9 Then they made Jason and the others post bond and let them go.

In Berea

10 As soon as it was night, the believers sent Paul and Silas away to Berea. On arriving there, they went to the Jewish synagogue. 11 Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true. 12 As a result, many of them believed, as did also a number of prominent Greek women and many Greek men.

13 But when the Jews in Thessalonica learned that Paul was preaching the word of God at Berea, some of them went there too, agitating the crowds and stirring them up. 14 The believers immediately sent Paul to the coast, but Silas and Timothy stayed at Berea. 15 Those who escorted Paul brought him to Athens and then left with instructions for Silas and Timothy to join him as soon as possible.

One can make an eternal impact in the lives of others by studying the Bible, applying what you learned & teaching this to others.


2 Timothy 3:16-17 New International Version (NIV) says
16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God[a] may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

that all Scripture is inspired by God & is useful teaching, rebuking, correcting & training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be equipped for every good work. This is why we need to study God's word, not merely for knowledge but for transformation.

STUDY GOD'S WORD

As we continue to study the Book of Acts, we follow Paul into chapter 17 where he engaged with all kinds of people that he encounters in his travels. The first place that Paul often went to in different cities was the synagogue. Here in Thessalonica, he gives an account of the Messiah, the promised deliverer of the Jews. Paul refers to the Old Testament to create a 'dialegomai'(Greek) or dialogue from the Scriptures. He explains that the Jesus Christ had to suffer & rise again, as written 


in Isaiah 53:5 New International Version (NIV) says

5 But he was pierced for our transgressions,
    he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him,
    and by his wounds we are healed.


& in Psalm 16:10-11 New International Version (NIV) says
10 because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead,
    nor will you let your faithful[a] one see decay.
11 You make known to me the path of life;
    you will fill me with joy in your presence,
    with eternal pleasures at your right hand.

Obviously, Paul studied Scriptures & knew what it says about the promised Messiah. Paul related ancient prophesy from Scripture to the historical event of Jesus death on the cross & His resurrection. Paul proclaimed Jesus with boldness & trusted the Lord for the outcome. Indeed, Paul would preach in the synagogue & would get beaten up after, yet he would do the same thing in the next city they would go to. He was not discouraged even if he faced opposition. He knew what his calling was, to preach the good news first to the Jews & then to the Gentiles. His calling was sure & getting beaten up & opposed to his face did not stop him from continuing on his mission. When you have an impact, you will have an uproar. In the things you are doing for God, are you experiencing an "uproar"? Doing God's work  might mean facing hostility from the very people you are trying to reach out to.

APPLY GOD'S WORD 

We must also check our eagerness in approaching God's word. Do you find the Bible bland & boring? Are you excited to encounter God in His word? 


Psalm 1:1-2 New International Version (NIV) says

BOOK I

Psalms 1–41

Psalm 1
1 Blessed is the one
    who does not walk in step with the wicked
or stand in the way that sinners take
    or sit in the company of mockers,
2 but whose delight is in the law of the Lord,
    and who meditates on his law day and night.

Though the Bible does not promise a life without problems it is a deep source which God uses to guide you in making wise decisions as you face life's difficulties & challenges. Apply what you learn from the Bible in your life even before you attempt to share it with others!

TEACH GOD'S WORD  

The next group of people that Paul engages within Acts 17, were the Bereans who were more open to Paul's teaching compared to the Thessalonians. In matters of discernment, we must be like the Jews in Berea who not only studied the Scriptures but also used this to examine what was being preached to them. In listening to preachers, we must have an unbiased eye & be opened to the truth that a preacher teaches but always go back to Scripture & check for ourselves what we heard from the preacher against what the Bible says. Is this how we view the speakers we encounter? With an unbiased eye but a discerning spirit? We need to be careful because there are many false teachers & many more will arise. Like Paul, are you willing to take a beating for something you believe in? It is so hard to teach what you do not believe in, so make sure that you know why you believe what you believe & teach. One of the greatest hindrances to God using you to teach others about the Bible is your unwillingness to apply God's word. Have a self-check, is your Bible knowledge making you arrogant? Beware that it does not, as 


1 Corinthians 8:1 New International Version (NIV)

Concerning Food Sacrificed to Idols

8 Now about food sacrificed to idols: We know that "We all possess knowledge." But knowledge puffs up while love builds up.

As one grows deeper in the knowledge of Christ & the Bible, one should be more understanding, loving & humble. Is this true for you? The Thessalonians did not accept Paul's teaching the first time & yet even with the initial resistance, a church was established in Thessalonica. Paul's commitment to teach God's word no matter the personal consequence to him, eventually bore much fruit. The Thessalonians became an example of how lives surrendered to Jesus can become a vibrant church. We too can be an example of how a surrendered life that studies, applies & teaches the Bible can be transformed because of Jesus Christ.

Lists of thoughts... Random thoughts... (considered as communion to God Almighty!)

In this, we continue Book 2 of the "Bohemian Grove Offerings" book series "Adam Or Adem: Creational Magic". 
A starting point is I am a creation, while I know I have a creator. That in itself, even myself, is proof of creational magic. 
We believe in science and use it to guide us, it is a remembrance of our successes, as well as a problem solving tool. 
Our goal with this theory and study, is to have creational magic become comprehended scientifically. 
In Adam Or Adem, we looked at what ingredients are put into creational magic to result in a living creation. We noticed that the two basic formula ingredients are time and materials used. 
This books intent is to explain and prove why time is one of the ingredients, and materials used is not the only factor determining who the resulted creation will be. 
In the bible, our creator, lists that Adam is created using dust. The bible also journals down a time log of the creators successes. 
We enjoy our creators journal habits and wish to honor them. 
Now to justify the formula in its theory. 
A scientific known restriction is that one person is one person. In simple terms, one person cannot be two people. Each person inhabits its current location, and is not located elsewhere. 
So with knowing that, it could be questioned. How do we know its not only materials used to create, that determine who is then going to be alive. 
The easy answer to that is, our creator can use two sets of the same (duplicated) materials, such as Adam's dust, to create two creations, yet they cannot be the same person. 
We consider other possible formula ingredients, such as location, the creators involvement during the proccess, surrounding area…. But those can actually be in the category of materials used. 
So the other consideration is time. Timing when created to be exact.
We easily comprehend one person cannot be two people. We easily comprehend the creator can use the same exact duplicated materials to create a creation. So something must be distinguishing seperately the two creations other than dust. 
That is why we consider time to be the other ingredient that determines who will be who when someone is created. 
A basic explanation of how we fit time into this study, is that, time is a seperating feature, having links to the Nothing everything began from, and while it is a little mysterious as are most portions of study involving the Nothing everything began from, it is estimated that time can be found in a comprehendable and useable way. 
A simpler explanation. The Nothing has, since it began, had as a part of it, a organizer called time. It is similar to what a layer is. 
The idea being, while the Nothing grew, a part of its growth was time, and time grew with it. 
Adam Or Adem was simplified, while this book is a deeper look at the theory. I will try to make it easy enough to comprehend, that if you put effort into it, you can. 
Please remember, this book series is a religious offering, while I do my best to make it a gift available for everyone, its main focus is to please our Heavenly Father. Admittedly, it is a high level of learning. Enjoy the book.

Book 6 of the Bohemian Grove Offerings series.

Exodus 30:14
Every one that passeth among them that are numbered, from twenty years old and above, shall give an offering unto Yodh He Waw He (the LORD).

A continuation of book 2, "Adam Or Adem: Creational Magic"

Book 2 and book 6 are a study of creational magic, looking at it from a scientific viewpoint.

After freshening up she wore a black pant and a black t-shirt and went downstairs.
Michael was sitting on the sofa waiting for her.
"Hello Great Uncle"
"Come Amara I'll show you around the house"
He took her on a tour around the house and showed her every room, Amara is smart so she memorized the location of every room and the entire geography of the mansion was imprinted in her mind. Then after showing her the entire house, he brought her to the study room which was their final destination.
The study room looked like a regular study room. A huge chair and a table at one corner of the room, the table had important documents lying on it with other basic necessities.
There were shelfs behind the chair, the entire wall was covered with shelves and books in it. Amara wondered if people in mafia are actually interested in boring stuff like reading.
"Amara can you inspect this room and let me know your observations" Michael commanded.
Amara nodded at him and carefully observed every nook and corner of the room, she saw the books on the shelf and tried to see as many books as she can.
Then her sight fell on one of the red books, it was big and looked different from all other books, it was red with a gold-plated border, the beautiful book attracted her and when she took a closer look at it her eyebrows twitched and she looked at the name of the book in surprise.
Michael smirked when he saw her observing the red book.
"Time's up, Amara tell me your observations"
"This room is not in line with the conventional image of a mafia gang leader."
"Conventional Image?"
"Yes, when one hears the word mafia, the first thing that comes to their mind is underworld, guns, power, murder, danger and all scary things."
"Is that so?"
"Yes, that's what is shown in movies"
"Then did you also have the same conventional image about mafia?"
Amara felt awkward in answering it but she had to, she bowed down her head and said, "Yes"
"Why are you bowing your head down as if you are at fault or have done something wrong?"
"Aren't you upset with me as I had this kind of image of mafia and in-turn this kind of image of you."
"You are not wrong that is what mafia is, please continue your observation."
"This room doesn't reflect and doesn't fit in with the mafia image, this room looks more like it belongs to a scholar. The books here are not random, every book is related and there is a pattern."
Michael was silent which was a signal to her that she can continue.
"One side of the shelf starts with science books and it continues with books from every area of science, physics, medicine, biology, then it goes deeper into the physics world with books on astrophysics, thermodynamics, electrical and similarly for other fields."
"Was there anything weird with the books and its arrangement?" Michael knew what was coming and he wanted to encourage her to voice her opinion freely.
"Yes"
"What was it?"
"This red book" Rachel pointed at the red book she was observing seriously.
"Why is that weird?"
"It is the Holy Bible"
Michael smiled, "So?"
"These are all science related books and this is Bible, they don't go together, firm believers of Science don't believe in religion."
"Is that so?"
"Yes, not everyone is like that but most of them are, especially here in Italy"
Michael stayed silent and she understood she should continue.
"Mafia, I don't think are religious, so having a Holy Bible here makes it seem weird."
"Who said people in mafia are not religious?"
"I assumed"
"Remove that book from there" he instructed.
As soon as she removed it, there was a mechanical noise and the shelf started parting from the middle, she was surprised with the sudden movement. She saw to her left and right and the small walls on the either side of the shelf were now covered by the end part of the shelf and in front of her she saw a small metallic door which seemed like password protected.
The space available was enough for one person to enter freely, she surprisingly looked at Michael as if asking for an explanation.
"Don't be so surprised we mafia need to have secret places in our home, for our secret meetings or in case we are attacked then we hide in these secret rooms, even if the assailant manages to discover this secret metal door, they would never crack the code."
Amara heard everything he said with utmost concentration and praised herself for making the right decision.
"Amara, you are talented right, I got to know you learnt hacking skills too."
"Yes, true"
"Then crack the code to this secret the door."
Amara was shocked and thought, 'I know hacking but how will I crack the code for this locker, they are not related or maybe I can'
"Can I get a laptop?"
"No" Michael firmly replied.
'What the hell how can I crack the code without a laptop' she thought.
Understanding what she was thinking, Michael said, "I don't want you to hack the door, figure out the password."
"But"
"No buts, use your brain and figure it out, also, there is only one chance to open this door, if your attempt fails then you would never be able to open this door, it will be locked forever, it can then only be opened from the inside and since no one is inside the secret room right now, you will have to be careful as one wrong move and this door will be locked forever and you can never discover what is behind this door.
These words worried Amara and she felt more pressure. The thought of never being able to find what is behind the door if she fails made her more anxious and she was determined to crack the code.

Amara Brown found out she has roots in the Mafia world, abandoning the family she does not feel connected with, she joins the Mafia and through hardwork becomes their gang leader, Amara Russo.

Kidnapping, Murdering, Making people disappear, smuggling were the only things she knew. Her life turns topsy turvy when a new member joins their gang.

He looks poor, pitiful and arrogant, but has good combat skills. 
Was he really like how he looks like or there is more to it?
This was the question that kept bothering Amara since she met him
...
"What happened? Why are you worried?" Joshua asked Amara.
"That guy keeps staring at me, as if he knows who I am"
"Maybe you are overthinking?"
"No, his glance followed me wherever I went. I think our identities are compromised"
"No, they won't be"
"How?"
"I am sorry Amara, just act along for five minutes."
"Wha..."
Amara couldn't complete her question as he sealed her lips with his.
...
When Amara realizes one of her loyal people is hell bent on killing her to gain her position, she has to break the promise she made. 
What will she do?
