The Terms

Abraham: The Father of Isaac, who was the father of Jacob whose name was changed to Israel and was the father of the 12 tribes of Israel

Adamic Human: A genetic descendant of post fall Adam.

Anointed Remnant: Those left of the first new covenant saints on earth during either presence who have not yet died and been resurrected as angels.

Associated Angel: An angelic body given to all humans when they are born again. One can only enter it after death.

Baptism:: A Baptism of a believer by a priest into the name of a mediator of a covenant with God, is a 'washing' of that person in the blood of that mediator. Such a washing imparts to the believer the cleanliness of the mediator. So the believer has his sins forgiven to an extent determined by the cleansing power of the blood of the mediator.

Bible Code:  The false bible code of Michael Drosnin and Eli Rips is a Statistical Hoax. It is a computerised form of crystal ball gazing. The true bible code reveals how many metaphorical meanings every bible account has. It reveals where each bible account stops and starts. And it reveals what these metaphorical meanings are. It also gives us the chronology of key events which is missing in the literal meaning of the holy scriptures.

Bilhah: Jacob's second wife Rachel's maidservant, she gave birth to two of the tribes of Israel: Dan and Naphtali.

Blessing Covenant: A Blessing Covenant is a covenant for the salvation of all humans and is between a human and Master Mediator.

Blessings Mediator: A Blessing Mediator is a human who covenants with a Master Mediator and mediates between him and one or more system mediators. Blessing Mediators mediate Blessing Covenants.

Blood of a Covenant: The Blood of a covenant is the blood of the validation sacrifice for that covenant.

Body:  A human or angelic vehicle for the spirit.

Born Again:  Being born again either as a resurrected human on earth or as a resurrected angel in heaven, or as an angel in heaven whilst your spirit remains alive in a human on earth.

Covenant: A covenant is an agreement between two parties.

Demon:  A wicked free willed angel who has rebelled against God's rulership.

Dirty Water Principle:  One cannot clean anything with dirty water. Using this as a metaphor, a priest cannot confer to a worshipper a cleanliness that he himself does not possess.

Everlasting Life: Life for ever. The mathematical definition of this is that at any future date, one is still living. Life everlasting is life until time indefinite with the extra guarantee, that there will never be a definite time after which one is not living. It is life until further notice where such further notice will never be given.

Faith Baptism: The baptism of a Covenant of Faith, such as the 1AC, is the water baptism not of your flesh but of your conscience by the angels (or at the end of a true religion by humans). This is the forgiveness of your past sins against your conscience. It is a forgiveness of sins not against the law of God, but against the law of your own conscience. It is the entrance into the angelically run church of Melchizedek. The candidate is completely unaware of its occurrence (in the majority of cases which are angelic baptisms). It is the entrance into the 1AC, the System covenant of the PARC.

Faith Baptism Test: The test of the baptism of a Covenant of Faith, is that one should obey one's conscience. One cannot do this without faith, since no 5 year old who says I taught myself to spell is telling the truth. 

Faith Perfected Works: Works of the law of the church or the law of your conscience which are maintained over a period by faith.

Faithful and Discreet Slave: The administration of one of the 4 True Christian Religions in one of the two presences of the Christ. Another term for the same is Faithful and Discreet Steward

First Death:  The spirit if placed into a sleeping angelic body. Consciousness is switched off temporarily. This is God's general anesthetic.

Gabriel:  An angel even younger than Michael, who announced the birth of Jesus to Mary and Joseph and he announced the birth of John to Zechariah, and he angelically possessed John the Baptist and presided over the entrance of Michael into Jesus and the coincident rapture of Immanuel, the original inhabitant of Jesus' body.

Gehenna: The Metaphorical place where every ex human in the second death does their time.

Hades:  The metaphorical place where everyone in the first death is sleeping.

Hagar: Abraham's wife Sarah's maidservant who gave Abraham his first son, Ishmael.

Holy: Set apart by God for a use in accord with his will.

Immanuel:  The name of person who inhabited Jesus' body before Michael took it.

Indefinite Life:  Life until some time in the future, which time is not stated. This time may be tomorrow, or it may be never.

Isaac: The second born son of Abraham, whose son Jacob was the father of the 12 tribes of Israel.

Ishmael: The firstborn son of Abraham by Hagar. He is prophesied to have his hand against everyone and everyone shall have their hand against him. 

Jacob: The second born son of Isaac, the twin of Esau. His name was changed to Israel, and he fathered the 12 tribes, having 12 sons.

Jehovah:  The name of the God who created the time, love, the angels the universe and humans. It means: He who causes to become (or the creator).

Jesus:  The human born of holy spirit to Mary and Joseph who was Immanuel for his first 30 years, and then became Michael for the next 3½ years. After his sacrifice for us he returned to heaven as a God to be worshipped like Jehovah. He was given the name above every other name, named, which name is Jehovah. He became the first true son of God in his image, in his likeness as regards his grasp of love and justice. The first free willed son of God to make the grade. Today we call the second God Jesus rather than Michael, because we are more familiar with Michael's activities whilst possessing Jesus than we are with his heavenly activities.

Judicial Life:  Not being subject to the adamic death sentence.

King: The King of a group of people: Is the law maker for the group, the supreme Judge of the group, the owner of the group.

Kingdom of God: The 1,000 year kingdom that starts on 2008Nisan16, March 23rd, 2008. Wherein Satan and the demons are locked up for the duration. God and Jesus and the 144,000 first new covenant saints rule from heaven in one to one correspondence with Melchizedek and Gordon and the 144,000 second new covenant saints who rule from earth. There are also heavenly lords/administrators and earthly lords/administrators, and earthly priests and of course earthly citizens. 29% of mankind survives Armageddon through a rapture. . And presumably the same percentage are resurrected from the dead of the past generations. All humans in the kingdom have bodies which do not age, like Adam had in the Garden of Eden. This Kingdom is the antetypical garden of Eden, the second Eden.

Law of Moses:  The covenant made between God and Moses, and then between Moses and the sons of Israel at mount Sinai on 1513Sivan3. The 10 commandments plus several hundred other laws in the books of Moses.

Life until time indefinite: Life which has no predetermined end point or maximum. Literally there is no definite, or defined end to this life. It may however end at some future date which has not as yet been defined.

Melchizedek:  He started life as the non adamic human Jared, the surrogate father of Enoch. He gave his life as a ransom in Jared, but was resurrected in the post flood system as Melchizedek, who was Cainan. Cainan just appeared, beamed down if you like. Since there was no legal grounds for Melchizedek to remain in the first death after he was killed, God presumably resurrected him as an angel first, before he came back down here as Cainan - see I20.

Michael:  The 42nd generation angel who agreed to give his everlasting life as a gift to mankind, in order to ransom us from the sin of Adam. He angelically possessed Jesus at his baptism and ministered to mankind in that human body for 3½ years, then he was killed by the Romans at the insistence of the crowds of Jerusalem who were incited to hatred by the jealousy of the Pharisees who condemned him but were forbidden by Roman law to execute anyone directly.

New covenant: Made between God and the first Christians through Jesus the Mediator. Agreed to by the 11 apostles (not Judas) at the last supper. This covenant grants a resurrection to be an angel in heaven, who will judge and rule over mankind in the kingdom of God. The New covenant is a subcovenant of the Jacobian Angelic Covenant, the JAC, which was promised to Abraham in the third Abrahamic Covenant, the AAP.

Non Adamic Human: A genetic descendant of pre-fall Adam, who is not a genetic son of post-fall Adam but is a son of God as Adam himself was. A human who was never under the adamic death penalty.

Pre-Adamic Human: Any human created before Adam was or a surrogate son of such.

Presence of the Christ: Existence on earth of true new covenant saints with a valid water baptism.

Priest: A Human priest is a man who is clean to carry out a baptism. A Priest must be baptised himself. He can be baptised from heaven or by a human. No Priest can baptise with a baptism that he himself does not have.

Righteous Decree in the Conscience: The Righteous Decree in the conscience is the successful end of the test of a water baptised conscience and is the entrance into the 1BC, which is the gaining of an indefinitely lasting human body like Jared and citizenship of the Kingdom of God. The passing of this test is judged by God, not by man.

Righteous Decree in the Flesh: The Righteous Decree in the flesh is the successful end of the test of a water baptised believer and is the entrance into the 2BC, which is the gaining of an indefinitely lasting human body like Methuselah and a priesthood in the Kingdom of God. Sons of Methuselah have no better body than sons of Jared in the Kingdom, but are resurrected earlier in order that they can attend the marriage of the lamb as friends of the bridegroom. The passing of this test is judged by God, not by man.

Righteous Decree in the Spirit: The Righteous Decree in the spirit is the successful end of the test of a spirit baptised believer and is the entrance into the 3BC, which is the gaining of an everlasting angelic body like Michael had and a Kingship or Lordship in the Kingdom of God. The passing of this test is judged by God, not by man.

Satan:  The first angel that God created. He was the first head of the holy spirit and mediated the holy spirit covenant with the original pre big bang 9 angelic apostles - see U41. He lied to Eve, deceiving her into murdering herself. He then conspired with her to murder Adam. He lost his firstborn rights through these murders and took a 6,000 year kingship over the mankind which started on 3993Nisan16 when Adam and Eve left Eden and ends on 2008Nisan14. On 2008Nisan16 we all enter the second Eden of the Kingdom of God, but that will not be apparent until Jesus comes on 2008Iyyar29.

Sacred Year:  This ran from Nisan1 to Adar30 after the Exodus, when the Jews left Egypt, in 1513.

The UK has the tax year running from April  to April, but everything else running from January to January. The Jews after the Exodus had the farming year running from Tishri to Tishri but everything else running from Nisan to Nisan.

Sealing:  The sealing of a person under a baptism test occurs when he passes once and for all, that test.

Second Death:  The spirit regains or retains consciousness. But it has no body at all, neither angelic nor human. This is God's maximum security prison for ex humans. It is a living death. A soul-less existence.

Second New Covenant: Made between God and the last Christians through Gordon the Mediator. The blessing of this covenant is to be a earthly king or lord in the Kingdom of God. It is a covenant for half a kingdom, the earthly half. The Second New covenant is a subcovenant of the Jacobian Angelic Covenant, the JAC, which was promised to Abraham in the third Abrahamic Covenant, the AAP.

Secular Year:   This ran from Tishri1 to Elul30. This was the agricultural year, ending at the harvest festival. Most ancient calendars including the calendar used by the bible before the Jews left Egypt in 1513, started in Tishri (September/October).

It is the entrance into a subcovenant of a System covenant inferior to the 3BC and the ARC.

Bible

To follow this book/website we recommend that you get a New World Translation Bible (NWT) or a Greens Literal Bible (GLT).

If you normally read a King James Version or a Revised Standard Version Bible you can make some progress but you will miss a lot of the detail in the scriptures and you will get stuck. All the scriptures that we quote in this website/book are from the NWT or from Greek or Hebrew Interlinear Bibles, or from our own revisions to the NWT where it does not follow the original Greek or Hebrew sufficiently well, (There are many examples of this). Interlinear bibles quote the original Hebrew and Greek texts on the top line and they use a very precise English word for word translation regardless of whether it reads very well on the line beneath.

The NWT is the most accurate English translation of the Original Hebrew Old Testament and the Original Greek New Testament that we are aware of except possibly for the Literal Version of J. P. Green (GLT), which is actually a reworded form of his Interlinear Bible. We have included an electronic version of the Literal Version on our download page. It is in html format so you can view it with your web browser offline. It is also included in our fantastic bible research program at Bible Linguistics available free from www.biblelinguistics.co.uk

The NWT is the Jehovah's Witness Bible, printed by the Watchtower. The easiest way to get hold of one is www.ebay.com or the likes. Please also invest in an interlinear bible...

New International Version Hebrew English Old Testament, Kohlenberger
New Greek English Interlinear New Testament, Brown and Comfort

Both of these bibles, being interlinear, are more accurate than either the NWT or the Literal Version of J. P. Green and Sovereign Grace Publishing www.sovgracepub.com . Don't worry! You do not need to be able to either speak or read Greek or Hebrew to understand these books. They will give you God's word, as exactly as mankind can translate it (with no knowledge of the bible code). The Hebrew Interlinear includes the New International Version, as a parallel text, and the Greek Interlinear includes the New Revised Standard Version as the parallel text. These bibles will show you just how inaccurate these two translations can be. We advise every reader to get these two interlinear bibles, in addition to either the NWT or the G LT.

Quick Introduction to the Bible

We have written a quick guide to the bare basics of the bible, for those who have never read it before, and for those who are a bit rusty. It is the basic plot of the holy book, and no man or woman can consider themselves fully educated until they have made some attempt to familiarise themselves with the one book that may actually be the work of God. You do not need to read the whole thing to get the basic flavour, or to assimilate enough background information to understand this website/book. You need only read about 10% of it. The bible is not one book, it is a collection actually of 66 books. So for your quick introductory guided tour click here, or turn to the Quick Introduction section. 

The Bible Calendar

The Bible expresses dates using the Biblical Lunar Calendar, the BLC (see - Biblical Lunar Calendar). There are twelve 30 day months in this calendar and they are the following:

Time Indefinite and Forever

The Watchtower Society has done well in translating the two different Hebrew words for these two concepts:

~lw[, ~l[Time indefinite: Literally hidden time

d[ Forever, literally: Until

The hidden time meaning, seems to imply that there actually is a hidden limit, in which case the translation as 'time indefinite', or 'a time not yet defined' would not strictly be correct, for such a time may never be defined. However if we allow ourselves the latitude that the time hidden may itself be forever, then we can correctly translate a hidden time as being time indefinite. Whether this is the true meaning of the Hebrew I do not at this point know.

The 'until' symbolism is rather a wonderful use of language. It is almost an omission symbolism - see the Omission Principle of the code, because the obvious question is until when?, but the when is deliberately omitted, which is symbolically saying: there is no when, no hidden time, there will be notice of termination at any future date. It is as the Psalm says:

Jehovah will rule as king to time indefinite [~l[l] even forever [d[w], the prefix l means 'to' and the prefix w means 'and'.
