“Life STARTED for me on August 4th 1978, when I got baptized in the holy spirit. When I learned to walk in deliverance and power. When I learned how to walk with Him whose blood had ransomed me. It has been amazing! And eternity hasn’t even begun..”
‘Woe to the rebellious children, saith the Lord, that take counsel, but not of me;
and that cover with a covering, (MASKS) but not of my spirit,
that they may add sin to sin:
2 That walk to go down into Egypt, (DOCTORS) and have not asked at my mouth;
to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, (ALLOPATHIC MEDICINE)
and to trust in the shadow of Egypt!
3 Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame,
and the trust in the shadow of Egypt your hurt.’

PART ONE - BIBLICAL IMAGERY
CHAPTER 1 | THE END FROM THE BEGINNING [18]
‘Who hath declared this from ancient time? Who hath
told it from that time? Have not I the Lord?’ Isaiah 45:21
The Bible is a Book of Prophesy. It tells The End of all things,
from the Beginning of all things. Whatever may be known
about the present time, as well as the secrets of the future, may
be searched out by studying the Bible records of the past.
There is nothing happening, or that ever happened, that lacks a
Bible reference.
The Bible records the whole story of man on Earth, from his
beginnings in the Garden of Eden, to his future restoration to an
eternal garden. There is nothing overlooked, and never a
surprise in Jehovah’s eternal timeline. Ecclesiastes witnesses
this, telling us that to know what will be, we need only look at
‘what was’.
‘The thing that hath been, is that which shall be; and that
which is done, is that which shall be done; and there is no
new thing under the sun.’ (Ecclesiastes 1:9)
The Old Testament Records serve as a ‘mirror’ to our day- like
a ‘Parallel Universe’. The old records are a reflection of the
present and/or the future. At the end of the day, it’s in this
Biblical ‘mirror of the past’ – that we can understand what is
[p.19]
happening, and what is ‘to come’. In them we learn about
masks as an ungodly ‘covering’, and the unholy ramifications of
their use.
The Lord told [4] his disciples that they would understand
mysteries. Who are disciples? Disciples are those who follow on
to know the Lord, who cry after knowledge, who seek for her as
silver, and search for her as hid treasure. These are ‘led by the
spirit of truth’. Disciples follow Jesus up the mountain, and
when everyone else goes home they hang around and ask
questions. Be a disciple.
Footnote [4]: Matthew 13:9 - 13
[1.1] MIRRORS
‘Declaring the End from the beginning,
and from ancient times the things that are not yet done..’.
Isaiah 46:10
To lay the groundwork for our examination of ‘masks’
we’ll begin with one of the most fascinating and revealing
figures in Scripture – which is the ‘Mirror’ that Jehovah created
between the New and Old Testaments. It is in this figure of
‘Mirrors’ that we see Isaiah 46:10 truly illuminated – It is in the
‘mirror’ where God tells us the END of the story - from the
BEGINNING of time, so that we can see not only the present
more clearly, but into the future as well!
BABYLON
What is a Biblical Mirror? The old testament of the Bible
mirrors the new. This is how the ‘end is told from the
beginning’. The job of the researcher then, is to learn how to
look in the mirror and interpret the day then, and to come.
[p.20]
Take the vivid example of Babylon. In [5] Genesis chapter 10,
Babylon of Shinar’s introduction onto the world stage correlates
with the commencement of evil in the nations of the earth, the
introduction of sorcery and idolatry, the beginnings of the
working of the spirit of the antichrist, and rebellion against God
– followed by the last, and fiercest, captivity of God’s people in
the Old Testament;
Babylon the [6] Great of these Last Days is the consummation of
evil in the nations of the earth. It is the zenith. Mystery Babylon
involves the empire capital of the earth’s sorcery and idolatry,
and the introduction of the beast reign that was set in motion in
Genesis; the final captivity of God’s people, and the put down -
at last - of rebellion on earth. Babylon’s pending destruction
completes God’s dealings with the Gentile nations.
Footnote [5]: Genesis 10:10
Footnote [6]: Revelation 18
THE RAPTURE
Another Mirror between the Old Testament and the New
shows a reflection of the Rapture of the Church. In Genesis
God sent plagues into Egypt, after which plagues his people
escaped from the captivity and the encroaching Egyptian army.
In Egypt the ‘blood’ on the lintel protected Israel from the
plagues. After which, God’s people made a crossing over – led
by their savior – Moses - in this case a ‘sea’, to where the
enemies of Christ were not able to follow. The saints in the last
days, having survived the plagues - protected by the blood, will
make a crossing, led by their savior – Jesus Christ - in an event
known colloquially as ‘The Rapture of the Church’. The enemies
of the cross will be unable to follow.
This mirror is illustrated below:
[p.21]
[Illustration is missing; see below for description in text:]
[Genesis - Plagues - Escape of God’s people - MIRROR - MIRROR - Escape of God’s people - Plagues - Revelation]
There are many other ‘mirrors’ which tell the future from the
past, the most significant of which right now, is the rebellion of
God’s people today as it was at Mount Sinai.
MT. SINAI
A compelling reflection of God’s people now- in these Last
Days, and God’s people at Mt. Sinai is found in The Book of
Numbers. THIS tragic mirror gives us an important key to
understanding the fallacy of the masks, and the serious sin they
represent in the Church. This important ‘mirror’ will be
discussed in depth later in this book.

[p.22]
[1.2] BIBLICAL FIGURES OF SPEECH
To interpret the end from the beginning, the Bible reader
needs to understand how Biblical mirrors work; how to
recognize them and how to analyze them with the guidance of
the holy spirit. Without the holy spirit’s guidance everything
believed is based upon human conjecture. To study mirrors, it
is at the holy spirit’s direction that Bible records are selected –
and interpreted. Private interpretation of the Scriptures, that is
- the interpretation of the Scriptures without the guidance of
the holy spirit – has given us the myriad denominations of
Christianity in existence today. It also means somebody isn’t
checking in with the Lord --which is also why we’re seeing the
Church today in agreement with the world on masks – that is
unbelief amounting to high treason against God.
God’s honest researcher always goes first to the Lord and to the
scriptures for answers to every question. Do you know saint,
that there is not a topic in life, that the Scriptures fail to weigh
in on? With the Lord’s leading, the researcher will be shown the
Bible records that explain what is happening in real time, and
how he is to understand it.
The researcher must know how to interpret scripture according
to the message that God intended when He first spake. This we
know – the Word of God is a living masterpiece - though like
God Himself it never changes. [7]
To understand His unchanging Word means interpreting the
Bible in such a way as to restore the Holy Spirit’s original intent--
that which was written down when holy men of God spake as
they were moved by the Holy Ghost. To do this a researcher
must know how to interpret according to usage the Figures of
Speech (FOS) in the Bible.
Footnote [7]: The word of God is the same, yesterday, today, and forever.
[p.23]
In any language figures of speech add tremendously to an
understanding of what is being communicated – Figures can say
in a few words what might otherwise take a thousand – they are
the picture that is worth a thousand words.
The Bible has many figures including: parallel, mirror, analogy,
image, metaphor, pattern, and shadow. A study of them all
could fill a library of books [8]! This analysis of masks as a false
covering is made much clearer for an interpretation of figures of
speech. Let’s begin with Metaphor.
METAPHOR
The Bible uses metaphor to paint a precise picture of anything
using just a few words. Let’s look at Jesus the Christ in
metaphor. He was the very first stone laid, the foundation of
God’s building.
He is the lamb led to the slaughter - as it were silently. He is all
of the following things:
[Illustration is missing; see below for description in text:]
The chief cornerstone
A branch
A thief
A man
A king
An only begotten son
A servant
A door
A bright and morning star
A rock
A sword
A building
The latter rain

The Horn of our Salvation
David’s stone
Jacob’s ladder
The Bridegroom
A Shepherd
A King
Footnote [8]: One of the best and most comprehensive books on the subject of Biblical Figures is ‘Figures of Speech Used in the Bible’ by E. W. Bullinger, 1898
[p.24]
Paul said God created things to show us invisible (spiritual)
things that the saints might see and understand spiritual truth,
in order that one day, they would stand before Him without
excuse. [9] That’s what metaphor does. It compares physical with
spiritual – to let us see things we’d otherwise miss.
Jesus was speaking in metaphor when he said my ‘sheep’ hear
my voice. [10] It paints a picture. You notice that Jesus didn’t say
‘my cats hear my voice’. Hah! Can you imagine trying to herd
cats? The thing is, being represented by sheep really isn’t all
that complimentary. ‘Sheep’ suggests something that can’t take
care of itself; can’t think for itself; and can’t protect itself. This
metaphor of sheep is prophetic in more ways than one, and
figures strongly into the argument you are about to read against
masks.
Footnote [9]: Romans 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse.
Footnote [10] John 10:27 [My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:]
THE TEMPLATES
Patterns, figures, images, and shadows, are used in scripture
to point to a person, place, or thing to come, and to generate
an expectation of its arrival. This is so that until it comes, we
watch for it, and then when it arrives at last, we are able to
recognize it. This is what a ‘template’ is. The pattern of the
original of anything, that the future event, or person, or place,
may be recognized.
An example of this is the Passover Feast.
The Passover in Egypt was a ‘shadow’ of the Lamb of God. The
feast became a ceremony of remembrance designed to teach
God’s people to expect and to recognize the True Passover
Lamb.
[p.25]
God’s people were to pass the observation of the Passover
Feast down from generation to generation, to the end that
whenever The Lamb of God would appear at last, to whichever
generation he would appear, he would be recognized.
Unfortunately, God’s people missed the image while obsessed
with the shadow. Israel’s failure to recognize the Lord in his day
was not for a lack of substantial prophetic imagery. Rather it
was due to another one of mankind’s proclivities, seen in
another metaphor - ‘blindness’.
PATTERNS
The Apostle Paul wrote in great detail of this principle of
patterns. Patterns are another way of seeing the future in the
past. Hebrews 8 -10 offer MANY examples of patterns:
1 - ‘we have a high priest’;
2 - ‘a minister of the true tabernacle’; which the LORD pitched..’
5 - ‘Who serves as example and shadow of heavenly things’;
5 - ‘Moses was told to make all things according to the
‘pattern’;
6 - ‘A better covenant, better promises’;
13 - ‘the old decayeth and waxes old’;
1 – 9 - ‘which was a ‘figure’ for the time then present’;
11 – Christ a high priest;
11 – a greater and more perfect tabernacle;
12,13 - the blood of goats and calves, the purifying of the flesh =
the blood of Christ;
15 – a mediator of the new covenant;
16 – a testament and the death of a testator;
1 – ‘the law a shadow of good things to come’;
[p.26]
3 - ‘sacrifices and remembrances’;
11 – old priest – old covenant;
21 – new priest – new covenant.
There are many examples of patterns used in the Bible. Patterns
are like ‘templates.’ As a historian I observe templates of how
something was done in the past because the template rarely
changes. Know the template and you can see into the future.
Ecclesiastes saw that truth and recorded -- “If you want to know
what will be, look at what was. For there is nothing new under
the sun.”
[1.3] THE INVISIBLE IS MADE KNOWN BY THE VISIBLE
‘For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the
world, are clearly seen, being understood by the things
that are made..’ Romans 1:20a
This principle is one of the most important of all of the Biblical
Figures for interpreting mysteries. Romans 1:20 teaches that
God’s created world is key to seeing what is spiritual. Everything
on earth, properly interpreted, illustrates some spiritual truth.
Indeed, there is nothing created except that it holds a key to
something that would otherwise be invisible. Hallelujah! God
designed His innumerably-complex world as a picture worth a
thousand words for one important reason - because He WANTS
men to not be ignorant.
Romans 1:20 reveals one of the Bible’s most quixotic truths:
That which is invisible (God’s Words) created that which is
visible – (The world and everything in it). [11]
Whereas
Footnote [11]: Hebrews 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear
[p.27]
That which is visible (The world and everything in it) was
designed to illustrate that which is invisible (Spiritual Truth)!
Not to get ahead of myself, but to apply the ‘visible showing the
‘invisible’ to the topic of masks, and viruses, I will tell you that
there is no ‘thing that is made’, (a physical something), except
that it has a spiritual counterpart, that it is ‘making clearly seen’.
A perfect example is ‘bacteria’, as you will see.
[1.4] THE WITNESS OF THREE
A final – and critical - Key for interpreting truth in the Bible or in
the world is what both Moses and the Apostle Paul called ‘The
Witness of Two or Three.’ [12] Without this witness nothing is
understood to be established or true. No judge in Moses’ or
Paul’s day would accept testimony from just one source, which
is generally true to this day in a court of law.
A common reason for the saints to err concerning truth has to
do with exactly this point. In Jesus day we see the multitudes
listen to him speak - but fail to approach him for an explanation
of what they just heard. They lived by conjecture.[13] Conjecture
is ‘private interpretation’ --which Paul said the Scriptures should
not be subject to. The multitudes do the same thing to this day.
I would like for you to know, that the lessons in this book are
things that have been confirmed for me by the Lord with
multiple witnesses. In your pursuit of truth, I recommend you
do the same. Take what you are about to read to the Lord; and
ask him to give you a witness ‘for’ or ‘against’. He will.
And you may then rest assured that you have established truth.

[p.28]
CHAPTER 2 | TRUE AND FALSE COVERINGS [28]
‘If so be that being clothed, we shall not be found naked.’ [14]
II Corinthians 5:3
From the beginning of the creation, God covered mankind.
God is Spirit; (John 4:24) God’s covering is spirit. He covers
men with spirit that they may know Him, and partake of the
blessing of walking and talking with Him. The covering of holy
spirit is at once symbolic, symbolizing our relationship to God -
and it is real.
In the Old Testament, men like Moses, who were ‘covered’ with
holy spirit, were able to hear God and prophesy (Numbers 11).
There is power in the covering God supplies. The born-again
saints in the Lord’s Church today, are able to ‘walk and talk with
God’, as Adam did in the garden. They are ‘clothed’ with holy
spirit,
‘And, lo, I send the promise of my Father upon you, but
abide ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be clothed with
power from on high’. Luke 24:49
From the creation beginnings, holy spirit began as ‘clothing’ that
could be ‘removed’. Adam was the first so ‘clothed’ and the first
to ‘disrobe’. In Genesis 2:17 Elohim warned Adam that if he
were to eat of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and
evil, he would die. Adam ate the fruit.
Footnote [14]: Do you SEE how so many figures abound in the Author’s use of illustrations for spiritual truths!
[p.29]
‘And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew
that they were naked’. and they sewed fig leaves together,
and made themselves aprons.’ Genesis [3]:7
After they sinned Adam and Eve saw that they’d lost their
‘covering’. And were ‘naked’. [15] So what did they do? They
devised their own covering.[16] Something mankind has done
religiously ever since.
This warning from God did not concern Adam only dying
physically. In fact, Adam lived many hundreds of years from the
day of his fall. His first death was spiritual. The day he sinned,
Adam, who had been ‘created in the image of God’, lost the
‘image’ of the Holy Spirit.
‘So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God created he him,
male and female created he them.’ Genesis 1:27
Image’ does not mean Adam ‘looked like God’. Genesis 1:27
teaches that both Adam and Eve were both created in the image
of God. This is not about how anyone looks. The image of God
is spirit. God is spirit.[17] Adam and Eve were created originally
having the spirit of God – which spirit is life. As it is written –
Spirit is life: Remove the spirit, you remove the life. The
uncovered Adam had died spiritually. Jesus referred to
Footnote [15]: ‘..And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked’. Genesis 3:7a
Footnote [16]: ‘..and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.’ Genesis [3]:7b
Footnote [17]: ‘God is spirit’ John 4:24
[p.30]
spiritual death while a man is yet ‘alive’ in these two
statements:
‘Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead..’
Luke [9]:60a
‘Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and
now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of
God; and they that hear shall live’. John 5:25
Spiritual death is separation from God. When Adam was cast
from the Garden, he was cast from God’s presence. Eventually
Adam died physically. What happened is that Adam actually
died twice. He died spiritually, and then he died physically.
Jesus Christ clarified this distinction saying that
‘[18]… to see the Kingdom of God, a man MUST be born again’.
Do you see it? There are two realities. A man can be born twice.
The first birth is physical, the second birth, when that happens, is
spiritual. Made in God’s image Adam was ‘formed of the dust of
the earth’ into which God ‘breathed life.’ [19] Then he was created
in the image of God – giving him spiritual life. When he sinned
and died, Adam died in reverse, first he died spiritually,. then he
died physically.
Unfortunately, we inherited from Adam his sin nature and with it
a dead body. [20] We are not born of spiritual life until we are born
again. When a man is born again, the scripture says he is ‘born
from above’ of the spirit of God, and is made ALIVE.
Footnote [18]: John 3:3
Footnote [19]: Genesis 2:7 ‘And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.’ A living soul is Nephesh Kai. Which word is used in scripture also for living animals; anything that breathes. Adam’s spiritual ‘life’ came from his being ‘created in the image of God’.
Footnote [20]: Luke [9]:60 ‘Jesus said unto him, “Let the dead bury their dead”.
[p.31]
It is this LIFE of God - in Christ - [21] in us, that will make it
possible [22] for a man to enter an eternal kingdom. For God is
eternal, and the life that He gives is eternal.
DIE DIE
Hebrew, the original language of the Old Testament, offers a
much more potent picture of the double death of man than any
English translation. This literal translation from the Hebrew of
Genesis 2:17 is especially illuminating,
…for in the day that you eat of it, you shall ‘die’.
Here is what Genesis 2:17 looks like in Hebrew. You don’t have
to be able to read Hebrew to recognize the repetition of the
Hebrew word ‘die’ in the verse. [23] (Note the last 2 (highlighted)
words in the Hebrew text below):
[Illustration is missing; see text below:]
וּמֵעֵ֗ץ הַדַּ֙עַת֙ ט֣וֹב וָרָ֔ע לֹ֥א תֹאכַ֖ל מִמֶּ֑נּוּ כִּ֗י בְּי֛וֹם אֲכׇלְךָ֥ מִמֶּ֖נּוּ מ֥וֹת תָּמֽוּת׃
The verse is quite literally referring to 2 deaths. Another
translation from Hebrew is given as: ‘..for in the day that thou
eatest thereof ..DYING THOU SHALT DIE’.
Take a look at a powerful expansion of this verse, in a post
written by C.S. Craig, entitled – ‘Dying Thou Shalt Die’. [24]
When Adam and the Woman disobeyed God by eating
the fruit of the forbidden tree, they actually died two
deaths. In Genesis 2:17, the word “die” is the Hebrew
verb ‘muth’. It means “to die” and is a plural word
Footnote [21]: Colossians 1:27b ‘… which is Christ in you, the hope of Glory’.
Footnote [22]: Not absolute. Even this ‘gift’ may be discarded.
Footnote [23]: This repetition of a word is the figure of speech – which adds a profound emphasis to the truth relayed.. i.e.. the 2 deaths.
Footnote [24] ‘Dying Thou Shalt Die’ - April 20, 2016, Word of Truth Ministries
[p.32]
meaning two deaths, referring to physical and
spiritual.[25] Spiritual death means [26] separation’ from
God which can be temporary, or permanent. It should
be translated “dying you will die”.
This phrase is actually an idiom that indicates the
intensity and immediateness of the deaths. So the
penalty of sin is two deaths. Physical death is the
consequence of sin. Spiritual death actually means
‘dormant’ - which means *no relationship with God.
What the scriptures plainly teach is that there is more than one
way to die, as Jesus declared -- Fear not them which kill the
body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him
which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. That there is
more than one way to be alive has proven this emphatically by
this false pandemic. There are many today who are alive, but
who are not living at all.
*********************************
Footnote [25]: ‘You, who were dead in Trespasses and sins..’ Ephesians 2:1
Footnote [26]: As we saw when Adam was banished from the Garden, i.e.. from God’s presence.
[2.1] GOD’S PERMANENT COVERING
‘And behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you;
but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued
[clothed] with power from on high’. Luke 24:49
The sentence of spiritual death was conferred upon all of
mankind through Adam, who are then ‘born spiritually dead’,
naked - and as Adam - sooner or later - physical death follows.
When the Lord Jesus Christ was crucified, buried, and
rose again, he WON BACK what Adam lost – namely - the
[p.33]
dominion of the world. But more than that, Jesus executed a
legal restoration of the holy spirit that Adam lost.
For ALL who call Jesus Lord, and believe in their hearts that
God raised him from the dead receive the LIFE that Adam lost
first. SPIRITUAL LIFE - the LIFE of the spirit of God -
FREELY!
Though this time the life is SEED – and the covering -
permanent.
What is all the more electrifying, is God’s use of a FEAST to
explain what had just happened, that His people would not miss
the pattern – which told the meaning of it all.
Jesus told his disciples to ‘wait in Jerusalem until they were
‘clothed’ or ‘covered’ with power from on high’ – God’s holy
spirit. The outpouring of the Spirit fell on ‘Pentecost’ - the
Feast of Weeks. This fact is pregnant with significance!
Consider:
The Feast of Weeks (in Hebrew - Shavu’ot - or ‘Pentecost’ in
most English Bibles) is the 4th of [27] God’s annual Spring Feasts.
The Feast of Weeks is so named, because God told his people to
count seven - sevens, (7 weeks) from the Feast of Passover – and
celebrate Shavu’ot the day after, that is, on the 50th day! That’s
incredible! Do you see it? FIFTY is the Biblical Number for
JUBILEE!
JUBILEE is THE BIBLICAL DAY of RESTORATION
OF THAT WHICH HAD BEEN LOST~!
On PENTECOST, God RESTORED HOLY SPIRIT to
mankind. This time however, the clothing was to be
permanent.
With the outpouring of the holy spirit on Pentecost, God’s
people received what Adam never had, namely - holy spirit as
Footnote [27]: Leviticus 23:2 These are MY Feasts..
[p.34]
‘seed’ born within. Making the covering - for the first time in
the history a permanent covering of God’s holy spirit!
‘Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible,
by the word of God which liveth and abideth forever.’
I Peter 1:23
In that seed is the very life of God, who, in the moment of
conception and new birth becomes our Father. Which realization
makes the idea of duplicating Adam’s sin, by replacing the
covering of God with our own covering, all the more disturbing.
Hold that thought in abeyance friend, who thinks masks are not a
spiritual covering that seeks by stealth to replace our covering in
Christ. For our covering is spirit and our life hidden with Christ,
yet masks are a covering that is ‘not of God’.
Can we wear two coverings?
Can we serve two masters?
Shall we fear the fears of the unbelievers, counting the
Lord’s words unfaithful, and ourselves as carnal men
needing a covering of our own making? [28]
So also did Adam think.
**************************
Footnote [28]: ‘Behold I give you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy; and nothing shall by any means harm you’. Luke 10:19
[p.35]
[2.2] SIN UPON SIN
‘Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take
counsel, but not of me; that cover with a covering, but not
of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin.’ Isaiah 30:1
After Adam’ and Eve saw their nakedness, they sewed [29] fig
leaves together, to effect a covering that was [30] not of God. That
was their 1st, NO,.. make that their 2nd mistake. The attempt to
cover themselves was just as much sin as eating the forbidden
fruit. Because they were trying to hide their sin; whereas the
Scriptures warns – “The man who covers his sin will not
prosper”. [31]
It was not for just one sin, that Adam and Eve
got evicted from the garden.
First, Adam and Eve committed a crime in disobeying God’s
commandment. Then instead of owning their error Eve blamed
the snake. Then, with novel audacity, Adam shifted the blame to
God for having given him the woman. Neither Adam nor Eve
admitted their sin and repented. Thus Adam and Eve’s sins
were compounded sins.
I learned about compounded sin in the eyes of the law about
20 years ago. Our family had a business in Virginia, and had
hired a bookkeeper to keep the books, and issue check payments
Footnote [29]: ‘And the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked, and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves coverings.’ Genesis 3:7
Footnote [30]: ‘And almost all things are by the law purged with blood, and without shedding of blood is no remission.’ Hebrews 9:22
Footnote [31]: Proverbs 28:13a
[p.36]
for bills and invoices as they came in. Our trust in the woman
exceeded her merit of the same, as time eventually told. The gal
turned out to be writing checks to herself as well as to our
suppliers. Except that those she wrote to herself, she also herself
- signed.
When she was indicted on charges of embezzlement, there were
3 crimes cited:
1 Writing the checks and signing them;
2 Presenting them to the bank for payment;
3 Taking the payments.
Her crime was not just ‘theft’. It was a compounded crime for
which she was indicted for not one, but with 3 felony charges in
the eyes of the law. What should Adam and Eve have done?
REPENTED. They should have acknowledged their sin, and
asked God to forgive them. God, in whom there is ‘no shadow of
turning’, is longsuffering and merciful, forgiving of our
trespasses WHEN and IF we acknowledge them. Would He have
done less for His first man?
(Had Adam and Eve confessed their sin and repented, they’d
likely still be in the Garden now. Perhaps the consequence of
6,000 years of abject human suffering might have never
happened. One can only wonder.) As it was for compounded sin,
that Adam and Eve were forever banished from the presence of
the Lord. Read this and fear:
‘Woe to the rebellious children, saith the Lord,
that take counsel, but not of me. That cover with a
covering, but not of my spirit; that they may add sin to sin.’
Isaiah 30:1
After Adam and Eve sinned - God removed their hapless fig leaf
covering, and re-covered them with the skins of animals. From
[p.37]
this Biblical figure - ‘allegory’- men were taught that [32] blood
would have to be shed for the remission of sins.
So would blood be [33] endlessly shed. The blood of thousands of
animals, for thousands of years, to provide what was only a
temporary covering until a more perfect sacrifice would bring to
pass a more perfect covering - and that a permanent covering.
That permanent covering would be thanks to the perfect blood,
of Jesus Christ, whose offering ended all others, and through
whose obedience, he was himself perfected forever, perfecting
also those who come to him.
‘For the law appoints as high priests men who have
weaknesses, but the word of the oath, which came after
the law, appoints the Son who has been perfected forever.’
Hebrews 7:28
‘For by one offering he has perfected forever them that are
sanctified.’ Hebrews 10:14
We learn from all of this that God meant for men to be
covered; That HE ALONE SHOULD do the covering;
And that HIS covering is enough.
Any other is of sin.
Footnote [32]: ‘And almost all things are by the law purged with blood, and without shedding of blood is no remission. It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these, but the heavenly things with better sacrifices than these’. Hebrews [9]:22,23 KJV
Footnote [32]: ‘For the law appoints as high priests men who have weaknesses, but the word of the oath, which came after the law, appoints the Son who has been perfected forever’. Hebrews 7:28 NKJV
Footnote [33]: ‘And King Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel, that were assembled unto him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, that could not be told nor numbered for multitude.’ I Kings 8:5
[p.38]
[2.3] MASKS an UNGODLY COVERING
‘How long will you people insult me? How long will you
love what is worthless, and go after what is false?’
Psalm 4:2
Nothing in history has ever exploded as far and fast as the
masks. It is the profound impact this reputedly medical
contraption is having on the health, cultures, and economies of
the world, that demand investigations from not only a medical,
but a political, and spiritual standpoint.
As 2020 draws to a close, the mask is being unmasked. What we
see is that - a mask is not a filter but a symbol. But what does it
symbolize? What is a ‘mask’? Who is behind the mask
juggernaut? At the end of the day what is the real agenda being
foisting upon the whole world? As a Christian you should want
to know.
[Illustration: Hugo Weaving in V for Vendetta (2005)]
[p.39]
[2.4] CHANGING WHO WE ARE
‘In Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World one of the things that
makes the controlled society so effective is the removal of
spirituality. The pleasure-seeking society pursues no spiritual
experiences or joys, preferring carnal ones. The lack of a
religion that seeks a true transcendental understanding helps
ensure that the masses of people, upper and lower classes, have
no reason to rebel.’
“I come too early. I am not yet at the right time. This
prodigious event is still on its way, and is travelling – it has not
reached men’s’ ears.” Friedrich Nietzsche – ‘God is Dead’
The history of mask wearing dates back thousands of years.
Mask wearing is found in every culture in the world, save for
those of the offspring of Abraham. In every application, masks
are a spiritual covering used in ceremony. The ceremonies are
spiritual rituals. Mask wearing is a rite. To wear a mask then is
to participate in a ritual. Do mask wearers realize this? Do
Christians?
The specific function of a mask may differ, yet the significance
remains always the same: The wearer is no longer themselves.
They are transformed into the spiritual entity represented.
Quotes taken from - ‘Mask’ by The Britannica Online
Mask, is a form of disguise or concealment usually worn
over or in front of the face - to hide the identity of a person,
and to establish another being.’
‘This essential characteristic of hiding, and revealing
personalities is common to all masks.’
‘Covered by the mask the performer loses his previous
identity and assumes a new one.’
[p.40]
‘Upon donning the mask, the wearer sometimes undergoes
a psychic change and as in a trance assumes the spirit
character depicted by the mask.’
The wearer seems to become psychologically one with the
character he is helping to create. He seems to become an
automaton, without his own will, which has become
subservient to that of the personage of the mask.
‘The wearer becomes a “partner” of the character that he
is impersonating, giving to the mask not only an important
spark of vitality by the light flashing from his own eyes but
also bringing it alive by his movements and poses.’
[Illustration: Dancing Nurses]
What we’re seeing all over in 2020, are people in transformation
- assuming an identity supplied by a mask. Whether they like it
or not, whether they know it or not, whether they agree or not,
they are taking on another persona, provided by a spiritual
covering.
What needs to be understood is that such a transformation is not
necessitated by the awareness, or agreement of the person
donning the mask, any more than a yoga participant needs to be
a Hindu, to be practicing that Eastern Religion.
If you do the moves, and don the garb, you have entered
spiritually into an agreement with whatever is symbolized by
[p.41]
these things. And that agreement is in strict violation of the laws
of Jehovah Adonai.
A mask IS a covering. If it were worn for strictly functional
reasons, a mask would not be a ‘Talisman’. But since masks
have no practical medical purpose, the wearing of a mask for
protection becomes spiritual. Its wearer is practicing the occult.
A covid mask used for protection IS a talisman. What is a
talisman? A talisman is a vestment of the occult. A Talisman
begins as a rag, a cloth, a necklace of feathers, or string of opal
stones. None of which are of themselves, spiritual - until they
assume their use in ritual. Cloth, like that used to make a covid
mask, is just a cloth. But as soon as the cloth, or the coins, or the
necklace, or the feathers, or masks, are used for protection, they
become spiritual and any participant is subject to the
ramifications of their use. The opals are now an amulet. The
‘cloth’ is now a talisman.
I’ll never forget that part of the movie, ‘La Bamba’, where
Ritchie Valens visits a witch doctor, and goes home with his
feathered necklace, for ‘protection’. A talisman. The next thing
you know his plane crashes and Valens dies. This is an occult
consequence. The Bible carries the same warning to God’s
people. No matter who is dabbling, saint and sinner alike, the
occult is deadly. Saul the king of Israel, dabbled in the occult just
once. He visited a witch for information. The scripture tells us
for that one visit Saul died.
‘So Saul died for his transgression which he committed against
the Lord, even against the word of the Lord, which he kept not,
and also for asking counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, to
enquire of it.’ I Chronicles 10:13
What is the occult? The occult is a tactic of Satan, an
abomination to God, and it is deadly. I could write a whole
[p.42]
book on the subject of the dangers of occult participation, though
for the purpose of this study of masks, I have provided a chapter
on the subject.
One aspect of the occult character of masks, is fear. Fear is a
vestige of occult participation. That is, when people,
knowingly or not, dabbling in the occult, fear becomes a
component of their lives.
With the covid masks, people are afraid to ‘NOT’ wear one.
They’re afraid of other people who don’t wear them.
They’re afraid of people who DO wear them.
They’re afraid their mask may not work.
They’ve become afraid of getting a sickness that other than
what is heard in the news, never really makes a difference in the
landscape. The Mask’s occultic fear generating properties are a
self-fulfilling prophesy, as fear - sooner or later - will make a
person sick. [34]
Footnote [34]: No treatise on the subject of masks and their fear generation, would be complete without a discussion of how fear makes a person sick. I will touch on that subject more in the chapters that follow; though a comprehensive book on the subject of sickness and disease - generated by fear and anxiety - is called ‘A More Excellent Way’, by Henry Wright. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
[2.5] Parenthetical Pages on the False Covering
13 Dec 2020
When I open the scriptures in the morning the Lord takes
me to places that he has in mind, and begins to teach me
things. This morning he added a great deal to my understanding
of the consequences of His people wearing masks for protection
from disease.
On my desk there is always a number of Bibles and other
reference books, according to what Jesus has directed me to have
[p.43]
on hand. This morning I had out my copy of ‘The Christian in
Complete Armour’, by William Gurnall (1677). I was taken to
the beginning of the book, to page 26. Simultaneously I was
taken in the Bible back to the verse that launched this entire
research venture – Isaiah 30:1. This time though my attention
was brought to - Isaiah 30: verses 2 and 3.
1Woe to the rebellious children, saith the Lord, that take
counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but
not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin.
…..
2That walk down into Egypt, and have not asked at
my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of
Pharaoh, and to trust in the shadow of Egypt.
…..
3Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame,
and the trust in the shadow of Egypt, your confusion.
In this passage God’s people are told about coverings that are not
of God. That the coverings are sin. We saw the first example of
this sin when Adam and Eve took counsel of the serpent,
declined to inquire of God, covered themselves with their own
covering, and ultimately failed to repent for this and the sin of
the fruit of the tree. In so doing they multiplied their sin and lost
forever their life in the Kingdom, and the presence of God.
In his book, ‘The Christian in Complete Armour’, Gurnall
speaks to the same subject, the covering of God, and answers the
question ‘But what of the saint in whom spirit is incorruptible?
Have they lost eternity too? We should ask: ‘Is holy spirit
removed by putting on a mask?’ No. The Bible says the new
birth is ‘incorruptible’. But what are we doing then when we
duplicate the errors of the first man and the first lady? Gurnall’s
answer is taken from Ephesians 6. VIZ:
‘Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able
to stand against the wiles of the devil.’ Ephesians 6:11
[p.44]
Gurnall writes:
“This verse is a key to the former, wherein the
apostle had exhorted believers to encourage and bear up their
fainting spirits on the Lord, and the power of his might.
Now in these words he shows what he would have them to do
this; to NOT to come presumptuously into the field without that
armour which God has appointed to be worn by all of his
soldiers, with a false bravado to trust the power of God to save
them.
That soul is sure to fall short of home (heaven), which hath
nothing but a carnal confidence on the name of God, blown up
by his ignorance of God and himself.
No, he that would have his confidence duly placed on the
power of God, must conscientiously use the means appointed
for his defense, and not rush naked into the battle.
What foolish braving language shall ye hear drop from the lips
of the most profane and ignorant among us! They trust in God,
hope in his mercy, defy the devil and all his works, and such
like stuff, who are yet poor naked creatures without the least
piece of God’s armour upon their souls.”
To cashier such presumption from the saint’s camp, he adds
this directory to his exhortation – ‘Put on the whole armour of
God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil’.
In this observe:
FIRST - The furnishing He directs is ‘armour’.
SECOND - What kind of armour? ‘The armour of God’.
THIRD - The entireness of the ‘whole’ armour of God.
FOURTH – How to use? – ‘put on’ the whole armour of God.
The question here will be, ‘What is this armour?’
“FIRST By armour is meant Christ. We read of ‘putting on the
Lord Jesus, where he is set forth under the notion of armour’.”
‘Put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ AND MAKE NOT
PROVISION FOR THE FLESH...’ Romans 13:14a
[p.45]
‘The apostle does not exhort them for rioting and drunkenness
to put on sobriety and temperance, and for chambering and
wantonness to put on chastity, as a philosopher would have
done. But instead, bids ‘put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ’;
implying thus much, till Christ be put on, the person is
unarmed.’
***************
The question to explore with masks is: ‘If Christ is the armor that
we ‘put on’ -- is the putting on of a covering that is NOT of God
– as relinquishing our armor of Christ?’ Are we now ‘naked’ in
battle? This is a very important question to ask.
Romans and Ephesians are written to born again saints. Note that
in them we are directed to act. There are things we must do. For
one thing, after we are saved we are told to put on the Lord Jesus
Christ - (the mind of Christ) - and ‘make not provision for the
How much provision for the flesh? None.
A mask to protect against a sickness we have spiritual authority
over, is a provision for the flesh.
Some suggest that to not wear a mask is ‘tempting God’ --
Which ignorance of the scriptures is common enough as to
beg a reply.
Is it tempting God, to believe what the Lord has said?
Have you read the Book?
In Luke 10:19 the Lord said that he gave us ’ALL authority,
and ALL power, over ALL the powers of earth, and that
[additionally] NOTHING can by any means harm us’. That’s a
lot of ‘ALLs’. Did Jesus lie? I should say not, else he’d not have
made it to heaven.
Then what is tempting God?
Tempting God is to initiate our own harm. Tempting God would
be to ‘throw ourselves off a building’, which is why Jesus
refused to do it. (Luke 4) Tempting God would be to fear a
[p.46]
sickness that you have authority over. Tempting God is to ‘fear
anything’. Look at this…
The Children of Israel ‘tempted God’ at Mt. Sinai. [35] How? By
refusing to believe what He had said. To fear rather than believe.
What about the Church? What about what Jesus said in Luke
10:19? Shall we refuse to believe him, and tempt God?
BTW: Jesus feared no disease; He touched lepers.
Then, before leaving earth, he imparted to his church the power
to do ‘all the works that I have done’. [36]
‘As my Father hath sent me, even so send I you’. [37] ‘All
authority, over ALL power, NOTHING can harm us, the works
HE did, we can do.. as God sent the Lord, so did the Lord send
us.. How shall we fear what he never feared? Is this not unbelief?
Is unbelief not sin?
Why do saints get sick? Saints get sick because of sin. Many
deliverance ministers have pointed out that the one thing that
will make a person sick the fastest, is ‘fear’. [38]
Then they compound the sin of fear, by failing to ask at his
mouth, that is, to ask where they missed the mark, so that they
might repent - and by putting on a covering that is not of his
spirit. Even as fear is a sin, Man’s medicine in response to
sickness is such a covering.
Did you ever see Jesus send anyone to a doctor? Did he ever
write a prescription? Or did he say rather, ‘Thy sins be forgiven
thee.’ ?
Footnote [35]: Numbers 13
Footnote [36]: John 14:12a ‘Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do, shall he do also’. Mark 16:18b ‘…They shall lay their hands on the sick, and they shall recover’.
Footnote [37]: John 20:21
Footnote [38]: Henry Wright’s book ‘A More Excellent Way’, is a whole book on the subject of fear making one sick.
[p.47]
This is the ‘sin upon sin’ [39] that Isaiah was talking about. This is
why some saints get sick, recover, get sick again, and even die.
Because they never addressed the sin cause. They used topical
ointments but never cleaned the pus from the wound. Paul didn’t
say the saints die because of a lack of medical treatments. He
said the saints get sick and die for a ‘failure to examine
themselves’. [40]
Gurnall instructs us that in addition to putting on the armour of
the ‘mind of Christ’, we are to put on the new man (Ephesians
4:24) that is made up of ‘all the several graces’, as its parts and
members. His point is that the Christian, without these things, is
without armour.
“OBSERVE: That a person in a Christless
graceless state is naked and unarmed, and so - unfit to fight
Christ’s battles against sin and Satan. God sent the first man
forth in complete armour, ‘being created in true righteousness
and holiness’, but by a wile, the devil stripped him, and
therefore as soon as the first sin was completed, it is written,
‘They were naked’, (Gen 3:7) That is, poor weak creatures, at
the will of satan, a subdued people disarmed by their proud
conqueror, and unable to make head against him.”
Here is Gurnall’s final point. It contains an astonishing witness
to the revelation of ‘sin upon sin’. I already said that it was not
for the sin of eating the apple’ that the pair was banished from
Eden, but for the sin of their ‘refusal to repent’. Gurnall
concurred 344 years before I even knew of it:
“Indeed it cost Satan some dispute to make the first breach, but
after that he hath once the gates opened to let him in as
conqueror into the heart of man, behold a troop of other sins
crowd in after him, without an stroke or strife; instead of
Footnote [39]: Isaiah 30:1
Foonote [40]: ‘But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body. For this cause many are weak and sick among you, and many sleep (die).’ I Corinthians 11:28 – 30
[p.48]
confessing their sins, they run their head in a bush, and by
their good-will would not come where God is, and when they
cannot fly from him, how do they prevaricate before him? They
peal one of another, shifting the sin, RATHER THAN SUING
FOR MERCY.”
The summary of what Jesus showed me this morning is further
illumination to the question of what a mask removes. Isaiah said
a mask was a ‘covering not of God’. It is a ‘covering’ put on
by His own rebellious children, (as Adam & Eve) who ‘fail to
ask at His mouth’.
Would God have us to share in the fears of the heathen and
unbelievers? Never! No man that hopes to serve God is to
entertain fear ever. Fear is a crack in his armor, and opens a door
through which all sorts of ill may pour. And fear is an offense
to God! Review the record of the Armies of Israel, cowing
before Goliath, and the [41] failure of the Children of Israel to enter
the Promised land, if you have any doubt.
Furthermore, Isaiah added that a covering not of God –
would be ‘to our confusion’. (Isaiah 30:3)
We find this same point, in the book of Jeremiah. When God
commissioned Jeremiah to serve Him, He expected him to be
totally fearless. VIZ:
‘BE NOT AFRAID of their faces, for I am
with thee to deliver thee, saith the Lord.’ (Jeremiah 1:8)
If Jeremiah doubted this, a dire warning from God followed…
Be not dismayed at their faces, LEST I CONFOUND THEE
BEFORE THEM. (Jeremiah 1:17)
Isaiah adds still more to this. Here it is from The Message Bible:
GOD spoke strongly to me, grabbed me with both hands and
Footnote [41]: Numbers chapters 13 – 16
[p.49]
Is it right to fear a virus?
At the heart of this point is the question, ‘Is it right to fear a
virus’. For God’s people the answer is a resounding ‘NO’. For
one thing - because it is a commandment of the Lord to be
fearless. We are not to share the fears of the world. Then,
because we have no reason to fear. The devil can’t make us sick,
any more than he can make us sin. Our obedience is our immune
system. Our immune system IS our obedience. That is to say, as
the Lord showed me many years ago - Our Physical health is a
mirror of our ‘Spiritual Health.’
What does that mean? If means IF we are sick, our first response
is to go to straight to Jesus and ask him, “Where have I missed
the mark?” When he tells you, then repent! More often than not,
your repentance is all you’ll ever need to be ‘cured’ of your
sickness. When it comes to the serious issue of his people’s sins,
God who is JUST, does not allow His people to fumble in
ignorance, so that they might one day say to him, ‘How was I to
know?’
In Romans 1:20 Paul stresses the parallels between that which is
spiritual and that which is physical, which knowledge is to keep
us from thinking it will be possible to ever offer excuses before
God.
Friend - In this respect sickness is of God. Sickness is as a STOP
SIGN that keeps you from colliding with the eternal
consequences of sin. Sickness is designed to show us our sin,
while there’s still HOPE OF A CURE. To treat symptoms and
not the cause, is to cover ourselves with a covering not of God
as did Adam with fig leaves.
[p.50]
Friend, our immunity is called obedience; and our cure is called
‘repentance’. A child of God who runs to doctors when he’s ill,
and applies their treatments, rather than asking at the mouth of
the Lord – is adding sin to sin.
Finally, the question in front of us is: ‘Is it right to fear a virus’.
I’ll answer the question with a question - ‘Would Jesus Christ
have feared a virus?’ -- ‘Would he have worn a mask’?
Do you wonder if I live this way; if I practice what he preached?
‘Yes!’ I live this way. I have not gone to doctors for treatments
in 41 years, save for stitches – I had stitched once in 2005 to
close a cut in my hand, and once in 1979, when a doctor in
Syracuse, NY sewed my ear back on after a bicycle accident.
(Stitches are like bandages. They’re practical, not
pharmaceutical.) Since the 1970’s, anyway, thanks initially to
penury more than to faith, I have let the Lord cure whatever ailed
me. And, by golly, he always has.
To date Jesus Christ has healed me of: Bulimia, Scoliosis,
Sciatica, Hypoglycemia, Tinea Versicolor, Chronic Bronchitis,
Prader Willi syndrome, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome,
Osteoarthritis, back and neck pain, and Breast Cancer. All gone.
At age 64, I am in perfect health. I have no pains, no veins, no
gray hair, no arthritis, no, no surgeries, and zero medical bills.
I’m strong, sleep well, feel great, and bless the Lord who makes
this available to anyone – for faith in
his promises.
I have no fear of a coronavirus. I have
not worn a mask since the fauxdemic
began. Save for this one to moisturize
my skin. Lol
