Scholium II – Write the Vision
I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved. And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
(Habakkuk 2:1-3) KJV
Our generation is on a highway to hell because of mainstream science (SciPop) and people like Richard Dawkins, Bill Nye and Neil DeGrasse Tyson. These are the Pied Pipers of Hamelin, leading our children to destruction.
We, that’s me and the Holy spirit, got saved in July 1997 and very soon after that we read the Bible. We had the wonderful experience of coming to it fresh and untainted, with a good education in the philosophy and methods of science. It struck us that there really is no barrier between science and the Bible, except for what had been put there by people who didn’t want to believe the Bible.
The Bible is compatible with science. Indeed, the Bible is true science. The real problem is that the truth of the Bible and the moral code it describes is incompatible with human nature. This is why corrupt humans have used SciPop to make it look as if the Bible couldn’t possibly be true. We repented of this and at some point in the very early part of our Christian life we vowed to set the record straight. We had an Isaiah 6:8 moment and said, here am I; send me:
Then I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?” Then I said, “Here am I. Send me!”
(Isaiah 6:8) KJV
It’s taken us 24 years to get to the point where we are now (1998-2022). Five years ago (October 2017) we were accumulating material at such a rate that we were at a loss as to how to organize, edit, and present it in a way that made sense and was useful. We prayed our way to the idea of a year-long daily devotional. We started November 1st, 2017. Here we are now, getting ready to wrap up the third draft and our life has changed so much over the last three years that it’s nothing short of miraculous.
We’re being deliberately provocative, not pulling any punches, and we’re not afraid of how many enemies we make, whether they be atheist science trolls (ASTs), scientifically illiterate science worshipers (SISW), conservative or liberal Christians or regular people who just want to be left alone so that they can live a “good,” life. Hell is real. God is perfectly justified. All who reject the name of Jesus Christ will wake up on the other side of death and find out the truth. Habakkuk mentioned being on watch, this is the same watch that Ezekiel referred to:
Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me. When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
(Ezekiel 3:17-19) KJV
We’re here to warn you that hell is expanding, it’s the cause of global warming. Believing in Jesus Christ is the only way to escape it. A lot of people get upset by this, understandably so. Many of them challenge us to prove it. This old rhetoric comes up quite a lot:
“The burden of proof is on the one making the claim.”
– People who don’t want to hear the truth
The way we see it, there is no burden of proof. Ezekiel 3:17-19 and 33:1-6 absolves us of the burden of proof. Our obligation is to warn people, but they are free to ignore the warning. That’s what free will is for. However, we believe that hell is expanding as part of the Biblical narrative, but it’s also an natural process taking place within the Earth. We believe that the available “science,” of physical evidence and empirical observations is unified in support of this hypothesis. As such, we believe that we’ve made a good effort to write the vision and make it plain, fulfilling any burden of proof. We’ve culminated with this last month, Principia Mattymatica, the most concise summary possible. There’s a Biblical precedent for doing this:
And it shall come to pass afterward,
(Joel 2:28) ESV
that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh;
your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
your old men shall dream dreams,
and your young men shall see visions.
This is restated in the book of Acts.
And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
(Acts 2:17) KJV
The Christian response so far is to capitulate with SciPop and try to fit the Bible into the Star Trek universe. What are we going to do about it? We write the vision and make it plain.
Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.
(Proverbs 29:18) KJV
Salvation
- Call upon the name of Jesus Christ,
- believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead,
- confess your sin.
