So that's a list of books from the Bible arranged in a way that makes sense to me, that the Old Testament vs. New Testament division seems to exist merely as a tool to cause Christians and Jews to hate each other, and I don't believe anything holy should ever be so devilish. Messiah will return, probably has many times already in places no one expects because Christianity is ill preparded to receive him. After WWII, the Zionist influence picked up momentum, and the State of Israel reappeared on the map, and I know that only the Holy Spirit could ever allow that to happen if not being the cause of it directly. And now, the Messianic influence is picking up momentum, that there are Jews who believe in Messiah without all the trappings of Christian dogma and superstitions, and again, I know that only the Holy Spirit can make that happen.
One day I was listening to something on YouTube called the Harbingers by a rabbi called Jonathan Cahn, and it is a story that makes a case for God, an appeal to the people of America to be mindful of God's judgments. Now, I don't know how he discovers the patterns specifically, but he draws a parallel between the modern Americans and the ancient Israelites, and it's very insightful in the way of spirituality and religion. In the arrangement of the books of the Bible I have listed here, "spirituality" is about words of wisdom, music, and storytelling whereas "religion" is about minor prophecies, about repentence, even why I put Jonah at the top of the list there. Those two concepts go together, just as divination and prophecy go together, just as law and history go together, with the gospels as bridge to connect them.
If all the Christians in the world understood this, even though I am imperfect in my attempt to explain it here, solutions to the differences of opinions can be found. For example, how does anyone know how to interpret the book of Daniel? What if it's not meant to be an exacting prophecy, what if it's meant to teach discernment between literal and figurative messages, the interpretation of dreams and an appreciation for symbolism, and other such gifts of the spirit which belong within a covenant of divination? Likewise the Revelation, which is far more about soul searching and overcoming sins in order to be closer to God than it is about the affairs of the world, or to consider what right has the reader to impose upon others those things only the reader can understand? What right do the Protestants have to accuse the Catholics of being the harlot of Babylon, whose stick is in whose eye there? What sort of holy scriptures does one need to learn how to remove it?
(Just let me be the harlot of Babylon, I'll take the curse if it helps you.)
So what happens when a Christian is no longer required by any magisterium to swear any kind of oath about the divinity of Jesus Christ? We know that the Son of God is one with God the Father because of the Holy Spirit, but we also know that the word Lord and the word Baal have too much in common to be ignored. This is why I believe in the restoration of the twelve tribes, that all these denominations of Christianity come about because the Holy Spirit wants to put us in order but we keep putting idolatry in the way of that effort. But, what if the the denominations are truly "evolving" towards the restoration? Suppose all the Baptists, in their ways of religion, could be likened unto one of the twelve tribes, meanwhile all of the Presbyterians another? In that, I believe, it's really up to the Levites among the Messianic Jews to do the work of grafting the branches unto the tree of life.
So this is my hope and my prayer on the 4th of July for the people of America.
