The mystery behind the world.
There is more to the world than what we see with our eyes.
Behind the perceivable realm lies another, beyond our ability to measure or quantify.
Behind the history of this world lies another, unrecorded, unrecited, unknown.
And behind that which moves and transforms the world lie unseen forces, causes and agents, undying and primeval.
Could such things actually lie behind specific events of the modern world?
Have we been given warnings concerning such things in the writings of past ages?
Warnings of one specific force and agent?
And could that force and agent lie behind the rise of wars, evils and calamities?
Could it have orchestrated an event that recently shocked our world?
And did that event contain a mystery concerning the end of the age?
Are we all players in a mystery that began long before we were born,
that has spanned the ages and has in modern times threatened the future of our planet?
Was it all foretold in the words of an ancient prophecy?
Are we living in the last of days?
What does the future hold and where does it all lead?
What is the mystery of the dragon?
And what does all this have to do with you who are now listening to these words?
This book will answer those questions and in the process reveal the mysteries of the dark resurrection,
the return of the sea peoples, the revenge of the 3000, the black Sabbath,
the Shfala, the dragon's holiday, the secret on the mount, the 18,263rd day,
the colors of the apocalypse, the beast, the ancient vision that unlocks what is taking place in our world and what is yet to come.
And more, it all began on a Friday night in October.
Chapter two, October.
This was not the book I had planned to write.
That book was to be the sequel to the return of the gods.
But what happened across the world would combine with a strong leading in my spirit,
that the book I was about to write was for a future time.
Another mystery was now to be opened.
It was October.
I was preparing the message to share at the Friday night service of the worship center I lead in Wayne, New Jersey, Beth Israel.
I was led to speak on one of the mysteries from the previous book I had written,
which had just been released a month earlier, the Josiah Manifesto.
The following morning, Hamas would launch a mass invasion from the Gaza Strip into the land of Israel.
Israel would be taken by surprise.
What happened that day would shock the sensibilities of many around the world.
It would also be the manifestation of the mystery I had shared the night before.
The mystery foreshadowed a coming event.
It foretold that Israel would be attacked by its enemies.
The attack would involve a massive ground invasion, the first such invasion in half a century.
It would catch the nation by surprise.
Though there would be warnings of its coming, the warnings would not be taken seriously.
The invasion would happen on the Sabbath, the Hebrew day of rest.
It would take place on one of the sacred appointed times of God given in the Torah.
It would lead to war.
It would happen on the first Saturday of October of 2023.
It would all come to pass the morning after I shared the mystery's foundation and parameters.
In this book, I will share how the mystery foreordained and foretold exactly what would
take place and when.
That night and what followed would lead to the opening of a mystery that began in ancient
times and lay behind the events of modern times.
Part 2 The Dragon Chapter 3
The mystery of evil, it is an ancient entity.
In popular culture it is often depicted in almost cartoonish form.
Because of this its existence is often dismissed, but its presence is very real and its impact
on our world most critical.
If we should dismiss or ignore it, we do so at our peril.
The transcendent.
What is evil?
And how did it come into existence?
It is both a mystery and a problem.
The mystery is the problem.
The problem is used in countless arguments to attempt to disprove God's existence or
nature.
To find the answer, we must start with the foundations.
That evil exists cannot be debated.
To deny it is to deny reality.
But the fact that evil exists does not disprove the existence of God.
Nor does it disprove the existence of a supernatural or spiritual realm.
Far from it.
If there was nothing more to life or existence than the material realm or the physical universe,
we could not speak of good or evil.
Then war, death, murder, and destruction would not be evil or even a problem, but simply
the playing out of forces and the rearrangement of molecules and atoms.
If there was nothing more to the universe, then we could not judge the Nazi murderer
of Jewish children to be evil or the righteous who risked their lives to save the lives of
Jewish children from Nazi murderers to be good.
Nor could we esteem life to be of greater value than death.
As with meaning, values, and significance, good and evil require a reality beyond that
of the physical.
Without this, all values, all moral codes are meaningless, arbitrary, and valueless.
Evil like good is ultimately transcendent.
Its existence does not disprove that the spiritual realm exists, but proves that it does.
The uncreated.
This leads to the next question.
If evil exists, then how did it come into existence?
More specifically, if God is good, then how could there be evil?
And if God created evil, then how could God be good?
But if God did not create evil, then how could evil exist, or how could God be God?
Therein lies the problem and the mystery.
But the very problem of evil contains its answer.
If evil was created, it would not be a problem, nor would it be evil.
Evil is a problem for the very reason that it was not created.
It should not exist because it was not created, and yet it does.
The existence of evil defies the created order.
It is not of the creation and thus exists in opposition to the created order.
Evil exists in defiance of existence.
Personhood.
Further, evil is not simply a force, like that of an earthquake, a hurricane, or a fire.
All these bring calamity and destruction, but none would constitute true evil.
Both hurricanes and serial killers bring death.
But hurricanes are not evil.
Serial killers are.
Why?
The hurricane is an impersonal force.
It acts without consciousness, will, choice, volition, or intent.
But the serial killer commits his act with conscious intent, will, and volition, and
so is evil.
And so evil is not an impersonal force, but a personal one, requiring consciousness, volition,
will, and intent.
Thus, in our search for an answer to evil, we are led to personhood.
The Anti-Being.
What is it that makes evil, evil?
Evil is an inversion, an inversion of truth, of reality, of existence.
Evil is by nature inverted, and by nature inverts.
It twists, bends, and turns existence in upon itself.
It exists as Anti-Existence.
Its being is Anti-Being, and its nature Anti-Nature.
It is a negation, and therefore seeks to negate, a nullification that exists to nullify.
It has no true ultimate or absolute existence, and therefore acts to bring that which exists
into non-existence.
And so evil, by nature, seeks destruction.
It opposes that which is.
Possessing no absolute or true existence of its own, evil is as well, by nature, parasitic.
Being not of the created order, it can exist only by drawing its existence from that order.
Evil must use the good.
And so though good can exist without evil, evil cannot exist without good.
Truth can exist without falsehood, but falsehood cannot exist without truth.
Laws can exist without crimes, marriage, without adultery, and life, without murder.
But crimes cannot exist without laws, adultery without marriage, nor murder exist without
life.
Conversion requires structure, immorality requires morality, and sin requires the holy.
The good is primary.
Evil is the parasitic inversion of the good.
And so the existence of evil inadvertently testifies not against the existence of the
good, but for it.
It bears witness unwillingly to the existence of the good, the existence of God.
Origins All this leads us to the mystery of origin.
If evil is uncreated, how did it come to exist?
God did not create evil, but He did create personhood, consciousness, and volition, free
will.
Free will is a necessity.
If one does what is good because one has no choice in doing so, then it is not good.
The good must be freely chosen and thus requires free will, and therein is the risk.
To allow the choosing of good, one must allow the choosing of its opposite.
And the opposite of good is evil.
It is the allowance and risk of the good that allow for the risk of evil.
The Inverted Angel Let us now put together the pieces of the
mystery.
Evil requires personhood, will, consciousness, and volition.
Therefore we are looking in the direction of personhood toward a conscious entity.
It must be a created being that by its volition turned against the created order, against
existence itself, a being that became an anti-being, an inversion.
And this is exactly what the scriptures reveal.
There are two entities with the ability to choose good or evil, one human and the other
angelic.
This evil is spiritual and beyond flesh and blood.
Its origin must be found beyond flesh and blood, beyond the human, in the realm of the
spiritual and the angelic.
And it is in that realm that we find it, the entity that fulfills all the prerequisites,
consciousness, volition, free will, and inversion, and yet not of flesh and blood.
An angelic being that turned against the fabric of the created order and against existence
itself, and in so turning, it or he became the inversion and the one who inverts.
He became the twisted reality and the twister of reality.
In his inversion he became the anti-being, the parasitic inversion of the good, the nemesis
of reality.
He became the one who should not exist and yet does.
He became the devil.
What exactly is the devil?
