Introduction III: The Divine Appointment
So, why do we stay in bondage to the powers of the false reality when the Holy Spirit resides within us? At a foundational level I believe it is because we don’t know who we really are in Christ. I recall the first time I became aware of whom I really was outside of the false reality. Wham, Bam — the lights came on. To this day, the excitement, enthusiasm and energy that coursed through my spirit has not diminished; it has grown! I am excited to confront the powers of the false reality, because I know who I am in Christ (I John 3:2); I am battling for an eternal purpose that has already been won. I am not fighting toward victory; I am fighting from victory. Jesus has already won the war, but He is looking for people who will willingly choose to join Him in the everyday battles for truth.
How It Really Began
At this point, I must back up and shed some light on a truth that the enemy would like to stay in the shadows. This light will reveal the beginning of the spiritual matrix. This has everything to do with who you are and your purpose in life. I do not jest by saying that most of “Christendom” is blind to the truth of the beginning of the false reality. The enemy is the author of confusion, and is doing all he can to change truth at its “source” – the Bible. He is doing this so there will be disagreement about how he (Lucifer) came into existence, what he is doing now, and his ultimate defeat. Remember – according to agent Smith (in the Matrix Trilogy), everything that has a beginning has an ending. Listen to the words of Psalm 138:2: I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified THY WORD above ALL THY NAME. This is very interesting; it deserves comment. Why would the Word of God be magnified above the name of God? The reason is simple. If you change the Words of God, then you can change who God / Jesus is; you can also change the identity of the enemy. Lucifer, Satan, the devil, the crooked serpent, the great dragon, leviathan, and beelzebub’s first attack on mankind was to attack the source of truth – that source being the Words of God. He has never changed his strategy. If he can get you to doubt the truth (John 17:17), then he can succeed at making sure you are bound in the false reality until you die. Checkmate — Lucifer wins! The following pages will answer a lot of questions previously unanswered by the majority of spiritual leaders. Now, let’s take a journey back in time; back to the origin of the dragon himself, the architect of the false reality.
yield!!!
Let me warn you that if you want to stay blinded and deceived by the powers of the false reality; then read no further. Beyond this point is where truth resides. Most people are led to believe – astonishingly enough by our spiritual leaders – that what I am about to reveal is pure fantasy. Let me assure you; it is not fantasy! It is rooted and grounded in truth. You will be given answers to questions that most “scholars” can’t understand. Some are blind because they have never swallowed the “red pill” of truth, while others remain blind by their rejection of the truth once it is presented to them. The danger of “scholasticism” is that it can blind you. You can begin believing you are the source of truth, and not the Word of Truth itself (John 17:17). Many well-intentioned scholars and spiritual leaders have fallen to this subtle trap by the enemy.
My Journey To The Center Of The Truth
Before getting too deep into the beginnings of the false reality, I must confess that I had previously looked upon this concept with more than a little skepticism. I thought it was wrong for me to even consider it, but there came a point during my tenure as a pastor that I wanted to have some questions answered.
I remember it well. It was July of 1995. My family was on its way to Sarasota, Florida to visit my wife’s sister when I “decided” to call Ken (my youth pastor during my high school years), and ask him if we could possibly have lunch together. Little did I know that the Holy Spirit directed this appointment? It was the providence of God leading me to an understanding of the false reality. On our way back to Charlotte, North Carolina, we stopped by Ocala, stayed the night and part of the next day to talk with Ken and his wife Karin. He started the evening by asking me what I thought was a simple question. He said, “Mark, what is the theme of the Bible?” I blurted out confidently (an easy one – right?): “Jesus Christ is the theme of the Bible.” “No it isn’t,” was Ken’s reply. Well, that floored me; I picked my ego off the floor and Ken proceeded to show me from the Bible how Jesus was the central person of the Bible, but He was not the central theme of the Bible. He explained to me that the theme of the Bible is about a kingdom, and that in the beginning, God had established a perfect kingdom for all its inhabitants to enjoy. He continued by saying that after a long period of time, His anointed cherub started wanting what was not his to possess. Lucifer attempted a hostile takeover of the mountain of God by convincing one third of the angelic beings to rebel with him, and usurp the kingdom from God. Lucifer failed; although the war he began in the ancient past has continued to this day. That was the beginning of the false reality.
The Original Earth
Do you recall the conversation – in the Matrix Trilogy – that Morpheus had with agent Smith (the bad guy), when he allowed himself to be captured in order that his comrades would escape? During the torture of Morpheus, Smith began to tell the story of the beginnings of the false reality. He told of the original matrix; it was made absolutely perfect. It was glorious and magnificent – until rebellion caused it to be corrupted. This is where we will begin our saga. We will travel to the apex of sins introduction into the universe. It is a journey that you don’t want to miss; believe me!
