**I haven't filled in the gaps to this story in any of my posts**
Mystery: "Ummm, I don't really want to do that, I don't want to be set over the whole earth to make sure no one dies from not being able to access the heavens."
Conquest: "Well God didn't say that He couldn't access anyone /from/ the heavens."
Mystery: "I still don't want to do it."
Conquest: "Why didn't He include me in anything? Not that I want to do anything with this, but for some reason He didn't tell me to do anything. Maybe He was testing us."
The LORD who is One: "I wasn't testing either of you...I didn't include Conquest because He had sinned, and I included Mystery because she didn't sin, more than that, Mystery saved everything mysterious on this earth."
Conquest: "I thought that You were talking about the prophecy in which people would want to die, but death would evade them."
The LORD who is One: "One reason I haven't punished you Conquest, for sinning, is because I know that you were possessed, but hear this: Jesus became sin, even the sins involved in being possessed, so through Him you are saved. And you are saved from everything that was keeping you and Mystery apart. Here is one mystery: The two witnesses never killed anybody, either in sin, or what people call 'holy anger.' The two witnesses took upon themselves every work of the Devil, both in plagues and in death. They did that even though Jesus came to destroy the works of the Devil, just as Paul said that he filled up in himself what was lacking in the afflictions of Christ- and surely we know that the sacrifice of Christ was all sufficient. So why did Paul say that? Because of the gap that remained between the blessings Christ made possible, and the ability people have to access those blessings, whether they are fighting sin and death to do so, or themselves. Therefore the two witnesses were profitable with everything that was already going to happen, and did already happen, on the earth and in the heavens. They carried out a great exploit, even when they merely did so, just by their presence and not through more of a direct volition."
Mystery: "So it's over? I mean, no more battling, no more tragedy? Daniel does say that when Christ comes back that He is going to put an end to sin, however, Revelation says that after Christ comes back there will still be the 'old' heaven and earth where sin remains, for 1,000 years. Is it possible for both of those Scriptures to be true in the spiritual and physical context?"
Conquest: "I /would/ say that if even this physical universe is a part of God's imagination and is less real than God Himself, that even the 1,000 year reign is going to be symbol only and not physical. But what about the return of Christ, why would that be physical and everything else symbol?"
The LORD: "After the Revelation of Jesus Christ, all prophecy became symbol, spiritual, and of the imagination, leaving the FULLNESS of the physical to happen at the return of Jesus Christ. But also included in that, all of the terrors and wrath of God happened along those lines as well, meaning that the lake of fire and outer darkness is a part of the imagination as well, and that everything is going to be saved."
Conquest: "So when Paul said that Jesus is the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe, he didn't merely mean that only some people access Jesus as their Savior?"
The LORD: "No. Everybody will be saved, but only some people are saved right now. For others, it will take being born again in the new heavens and earth through the talent. It is as the two witnesses have prophesied."
Mystery: "What's to become of me and Conquest? And how can I ever be sure that I can trust him? He proclaimed his love for me even when I thought he said he wouldn't do that anymore. I wanted a private life with him. How can we ever trust that the harlot is dead, along with her works, like the woman under the lead who is exposed in the wickedness of double talk and behaviors through false knowledge? Are Conquest and I to still have a private life together?"
The LORD: "Here is the truth: Conquest shall not anymore even write about Me. The two witnesses have died, in martyrdom, and their prophecy is complete in this. Mystery, you and Conquest are now completely new and are able to both access and enjoy all of your promises."
THE END
