The Essence of Death: LAST ENEMY, #2

By TOM DIAMOND AOL

There is a great deal of dread, ambiguity, and mystery surrounding the subject of death. Whenever the topic of death is discussed or raised, it invokes fear, intimidation, unease, and discomfort. Most people do not want to discuss death, yet their life activities, desires, operations, goals, and objectives are all built around avoiding, postponing, surviving, escaping, and eliminating the prospect of death on a short-term, medium-term, or long-term basis. There is nothing to fear or worry about death when you discover what death is all about.

As we discover in Volume Two, knowledge is power because it removes ignorance and darkness hovering over any problem or misunderstood phenomenon. Knowledge can expose any problem or circumstance as weak. Knowledge helps us to understand any problem by breaking it down into its basic elements, components, activities, process, and origin, which makes it easier to find a solution. The veil of ignorance is stripped away by knowledge, and solutions are envisaged to resolve the issue. Through knowledge, you can exercise the power and dominion of Christ over any deadly circumstances in life and effect a positive change to your advantage.

 

In Volume Two of The Last Enemy we unmasked the true identity of death by exposing all the domains of death such as the spirit, power, force, law, realm, curse, condition, circumstance, state, places, avenues, and instruments of death. Discover the true essence or substances of death. We provide an in-depth investigation into the attributes, characteristics, and properties of the power of death at work in the world through sin.

Through this study, we unravel how death impacts, influences, controls, and determines what people experience, change, and experience every day. Throughout this volume, death's myths and mysteries are deconstructed by exposing its agenda, inner workings, activities, force, power, and weakness. We look at the impact of the forces of death on the hearts, minds, and characters of human beings. We look at ''what death is'' and'' what death is not'' displacing every single piece of misinformation, mystery, and myth about death. Our investigation unravels death's latent power as the source of all evil and wickedness expressed and manifested in the world. Moreover, we presented empirical studies into the parallels of death from different perspectives and phenomena in everyday life experiences that expose death in its most fundamental concepts that will engage the mind of the reader. So much to discover when you delve into the latent and most significant force, power, influence, and reality that shape and direct the life and existence of so many things and events in our world.

Chapter 1

Resolving the Mystery of Death

Pro 11:9│ An hypocrite with his mouth destroyed his neighbour: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered. 

Pro_2:6│  For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.

Pro_2:10  │When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy so

Pro_8:10│  Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.

Pro_8:12  │I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions.

Pro_9:10│  The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding

Hos_4:6 │ My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge,

The subject of Death can only be understood through divine truths, revelation, insights, and teachings based on the ministry of the Word of God, and the Holy Spirit. The phenomenon of death is ubiquitous because its presence, power, dominion, and realms operate simultaneously wherever sin is present and active. Thus, death follows the route, trail, and train of sin and rebellion. Wherever sin and rebellion is present, death takes over, rules, reigns, and dominates. For us to understand how death came into existence, we must ask pertinent questions.

The first volume of the Last Enemy explores ‘’What Is Death’’ and how it emerged into existence. We established that death is a legal judicial judgement , and decree of God against sin, and rebellion. So death is a legal term, and judgement in its entirety. If you are a lawyer or a judge you will understand the concept and play of legal terminologies, and their applications. The decree of death comes as a legal ruling, judgement, sentence against sin, and rebellion.

‘’Kings rule by decrees and not by debates.’’ God is a King so He rules and reigns through divine decrees that project His Righteousness and Holiness to all His universe and domain. Secondly God is Judge meaning He preside over cases, and gives judgement just like a judge in a court. Now God is not an ordinary King of some country or state. He is the King of the Universe which consist of visible and invisible realms. He is the king of all creation and creatures. The one who made the Heavens and the Earth. Now God is not your typical judge in a magistrate, district, state or Supreme Court.

He is the Supreme Judge of the Universe. So when he gives a decree and Judgement, it is final, whether you like or not does not matter. God consults no human being before issuing any decree because He is a Righteous and Holy God.

All His decrees, and judgements are done in righteousness meaning they are right, responsible, accurate, excellent, appropriate and just. So this great God passed a decree that should any creature that He created, and gave life should sin and rebelled against His righteousness must be separated, disconnected, and terminated from His Presence, Life, Light, Love, Union, and Kingdom.

The name of that decree of separation, disconnection, and termination of a creature from divine relationship, and union with God because of sin and rebellion is what is called DEATH. So the concept and idea of death is a legal term and judicial precedence. So death’s origin is not God, but sin and rebellion.

Without sin or rebellion, there will be no death. All God did was pass a decree and judgement against sin and rebellion.’’ So death came from sin, it was sin that conceive, produced, or gave birth to death. Deaths emerged from the depths or belly of sin and rebellion but God issue or gave the decree and Judgement against sin. This means sin and rebellion is responsible for origin and emergence of death. There is no death in God because God is life, light, love, holy, righteous, and glorious without sin or rebellion because he is the creator of all that are in the heaven and the Earth.’’

Crime does not originate from a Court House or a Judge, it originates from the actions of men but the Court and the Judge that presides over it gives the judgement reserve to punish crimes and criminals. We will examine death in all its forms in this volume.

But first let’s ponder on the following questions below;

☐         How did death come into existence?

☐         Where did death from?

☐         Who decreed death into existence?

☐         Why was death decreed?

☐         What was the purpose or plan behind the decree of death?

☐         Was the decree of death right or wrong?

☐         Could there have been any other option outside death?

☐         Who was death decreed for?

☐         If there was no sin would death still be in existence?

☐         Who benefits from the decree of death?

☐         Is there a solution to death?

ACCURATE KNOWLEDGE, WISDOM, AND UNDERSTANDING

GIVES THE CLEAR PICTURE OF ANYTHING

To properly deal with the subject of death, we must unravel it in all its detail. It is important to understand the reason for death, and whether death communicates a message to creation as a whole. What can we learn from death? Despite death's existence, there is a reason for it. Humanity will not fully comprehend death's purpose until they understand why it exists.

There is a reason, and a purpose behind death. There are a number of key facts revealed about why death was decreed against sin, and rebellion. Humanity's decisions in this world and in the world to come will be guided by the eternal lessons learned from the emergence of death.

In the life we live on the Earth and in the life we would live thereafter, the lessons we learn from phenomenon of death have universal implications, ramifications, and applications.

There is a great deal of dread, ambiguity, and mystery surrounding the subject of death. Whenever the topic of death is discussed or raised, it invokes fear, intimidation, unease, discomfort. Most people do not want to discuss death, yet their life activities, desires, operations, goals and objectives are all built around avoiding, postponing, surviving, escaping, eliminating the prospect of physical death on a short-term, medium-term or long-term basis.

A human being's activities are centred on maximizing their pleasures, purposes, joys, and triumphs at the expense of death. On the negative side of every positive activity we do in life, there is the possibility or option of death. When we eat, we build our strength, and health, but if we don't eat, we increase the chance or probability of starvation which can cause circumstances that may lead to death. If we starve, we are likely to contract a sickness or disease condition that can lead to death. If we live in a house, or shelter, we would be safe, secure, and preserved. But if we are homeless, we may be exposed to the environmental elements, negative circumstances that may adversely impact our lives and increase our risk of death. As we drive cars, which transport us in comfort and style to our destinations but if we fail to drive safely, our lives may be at the risk of death. In the world, there is a death option on the flip side for every negative activity, engagement, experience purpose, plan, design, and operation of we may engage in . When things go wrong, death is triggered or activated as a constant part of human's engagement in life. Look at the massive health institutions, medical industries and infrastructures in all nations of the world. They were set up or put in place for the purpose of preserving, protecting, prolonging human lives and to resist, delay, postpone, avoid, and oppose the circumstances death in human societies. Everything in the world has a life angle and a death angle, both of which go side by side based on the prevailing circumstances or conditions.

The topic of death should not be a taboo, since death already play a great role in the life, behaviour, character, activity, circumstances, desires, wants, needs, plans, purpose and responses of people every day, whether they acknowledge it or not. Having a proper understanding of death will help us to appreciate life and live it to the fullest without fear and limitations imposed by death.

You will appreciate life in a way that will change your whole life and whole being when you gain accurate and proper knowledge, wisdom, and understanding concerning the subject of death. There will be a permanent change in your world view. Fear, anxiety, stress, distress, greed, corruption, sickness, disease, and all the darkness associated with life in this world will be gone.

The purpose and reason for your existence will become clear to you. There will be a never-ending zeal to make the world a better place every day of your life. As you fill a worthy purpose shaped by the right values and virtues. You will achieve limitless visions and purposes through your life’s work. By understanding the essence death, you will gain the knowledge of everything else in the world, including humans, animals, and the environment.

You will world understand why the world is in the state and condition it is, why people behave, and function the way they do, and the reason why certain things do happen. Life's so-called mysteries carry valuable messages, and lessons.

As you get to know men and women better, you will see their real nature and character. It is God's desire for you to a vivid understanding mankind greatest enemy, which is the Last Enemy also called death.

1Co 15:25│  For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. 

1Co 15:26│  The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. 

No matter who you are, where you are, or what you have, death is your greatest enemy, your Last Enemy. Even if you delay its appointment you will definitely encounter it at some point. Death directly or indirectly affects every aspect of your lifestyle, and existence, regardless of whether you acknowledge it or not.

If you stop doing some of the positive and productive activities and things you do over a period of time, you will realize ‘’Mr Death’’ is just around the corner. Therefore, God wants you to understand death so you can exercise authority, power, dominion over its force, influence, works, and live above it. Someone may ask if that is ‘’possible’’, yes it is, absolutely.

By the time you have finished all the volumes of THE LAST ENEMY, you will be transformed positively. You will be able to live above fear of death as a result of the infusion of divine knowledge, wisdom, and understanding into your heart, and mind. You will realize that death has no power, dominion over your life, family and existence in the world. It is the infallible word of God and its uncommon truths that will place you above the forces of death at work in this world.

Death is a subject concerning which God wants us to grasp a complete revelation, true picture, insight, knowledge, understanding and wisdom. By gaining accurate, scriptural, faith-based insight into the concept of death, we will better understand God's plan and purpose for our lives and existence, allowing us to live the life God has chosen for us without the fear, oppression and limitations of the works of death in this world. It is God's desire to reveal His righteousness, love, plan, purpose, sovereignty and greatness to the church and humanity in a way that sets them far beyond sin and death.

Sin caused the first separation of a creature from God's presence and kingdom. Pride and rebellion caused that separation. Understand that God is Life, everything about Him is life; the Scriptures declare in His presence is the fullness of joy, and in His right hand there are pleasures for ever. For all of God's creation, His presence was the source of their life, existence and sustenance. His presence was an environment of Life that encompasses all His works.

NO REASON TO BE AFRAID TO TALK ABOUT DEATH

1Jn 1:5│  This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

There is no question that death is one of the most dreaded and obnoxious topics of conversation in human interactions. For many, it is a forbidden area of communication. As a result of the fear and ignorance surrounding death, the so-called mystery of death has caused more harm than good to mankind. Any conversation, discussion, around the topic of death is dreaded by many people.

The myth of death has been created by preventing the topic from being discussed with clarity. This myth has been weaponized by the enemy to destroy many people through deception. In life, ignorance is the greatest enemy of freedom, liberty, and fulfilment.

‘’ Knowledge is power because it removes ignorance, and darkness, from any problems or misunderstood phenomena. Knowledge can expose any problem or circumstance as weak. Knowledge helps us to understand a problem by breaking it down into its components, process, and origin, which makes it easier to find a solution. The veil of ignorance is stripped away by knowledge, and solutions are envisaged to resolve the issue.

In order to solve a problem, knowledge illuminates the darkness surrounding, encircling, and perpetuating the problem.

‘’As a result of the knowledge science, medicine, pharmacy, and technology, many dreaded sicknesses, diseases, afflictions, and infirmities have been resolved, saving millions of lives globally from untimely deaths. Death is the driving force, and power behind all human problems in the world if you know what it means. I believe by the time you finish reading all the first five volumes and series of the LAST ENEMY your world view will change and your life will take a new meaning.

KNOWLEDGE IS THE KEY

Pro 11:9│ […..]: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered.

No problem no matter how great it is can escape the power of accurate knowledge and information. Through the light, and Knowledge of the word of God will unmask the identity, nature, essence, concept, activities, and operation of Death. There are different types of knowledge designed to solve different types of problems in the World;

☐     The knowledge of Medicine and Pharmacy  provides solutions to health problems;

☐     The knowledge of  Engineering provides solutions to engineering problems;

☐     The knowledge of Economics provides solutions to financial problems;

☐     The knowledge of Information communication technology provides solutions to all information and communication problems.

☐     The knowledge of politics resolves political problems.

The list of what knowledge has resolve in human civilization is endless. Through knowledge human civilization has broken limitation in all aspect of human living and existence in less than 200 years. The scripture foretold this time in human history when knowledge will increase among mankind. The prophet Daniel was told by an Arc Angel of God that in the last days knowledge will be increase;

Dan 12:4  │But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. 

The Knowledge of God's Word resolves spiritual and physical problems that are beyond human understanding and comprehension. It is God's Word that has been programmed to resolve all types of physical and natural problems through knowledge. Humanity's greatest spiritual and physical problem is death, and through the knowledge of the Word of God, death is resolved and exposed for what it really is.

DESTROYED BECAUSE OF LACK OF KNOWLEDGE

Hos_4:6│  My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge:[…..]

Thus, according to the scripture, God said His own people, are been destroyed because they lack knowledge. God’s people are not destroyed because of sin, death, or the Devil, since the knowledge of God’s Word can overcome those enemies.  Due to their lack of knowledge, God says His own people, called by His name, are destroyed by sin, death and the enemy. The knowledge of God's Word and the ministry of His Holy Spirit awakens a divine perception, consciousness of life that activate the participation in the power of God that thwarts the crypto forces of sin ,death and the enemy. Most people do not have time to discover new realities of God's Kingdom; they dismiss it as fables and ridicule those who believe in such truths. They place all their hopes on science, a knowledge that is formed and developed by fallen, sinful men like themselves, so sin, death and the enemy continue to eat them up at the prime of their lives. When you visit the hospitals you see how the works of death are wasting humanity through diverse sickness, and diseases condition, but Jesus Christ has come, Jesus Christ has died, Jesus Christ has defeated sin, death, and the enemy, yet the majority of humanity are oppressed by the operations or forces aligned with the power of death. As a result of unbelief, doubt, and rejection of the knowledge of God humanity continue to suffer from the works of death.

THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH

1Ti_2:4 │ Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

Joh 14:6  │Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. 

Joh 11:25 │ Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: 

Joh 11:26  │And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? 

Isa 53:1 who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed? 

Do you believe the truths contained Gospel or do you believe only in cultural traditions, religions, cults, atheisms, or science? Globally, doctors, and nurses are doing a great job, but it is God who gave humanity the knowledge of good medicine, science, and pharmacology. As the case may be, God granted men the knowledge to develop cures or remedies for diseases and sicknesses temporarily or permanently in some cases. But that gift of science and medicine was given to men to help themselves until they are able to discover divine truths and secrets of the divine life, health, in Christ. Because God knows there is a limit to what medical science and pharmacology can do to restrain death and evil. It is noteworthy to mention that God still preserves men and gives them long life to demonstrate his goodness towards human beings on earth.

THE SUPREME JUDGE OF THE UNIVERSE

Psa_33:5│  He loveth righteousness and judgment: the Earth is full of the goodness of the LORD.

Psa_89:14 │ Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face.

Gen_18:25│  That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the Earth do right?

Job_34:12  │Yea, surely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert judgment

Psa_9:7│  But the LORD shall endure forever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment.

Psa_9:8│  And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.

Psa_9:16  │The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth:

Sometimes people say, if God Almighty was the one who decreed death as a judgement against sin and rebellion, does that makes him look bad, wicked, and evil. Because death has caused so much pain, destruction and desolation throughout human history. Does such claim or hypothesis make God responsible for all the misery in the world?

Certainly, it isn't pleasant, neither does it sound nice to assume or acknowledge that the decree of death was God’s Judgement against sin, and rebellion because of the devastating effects of death throughout human history. However, most of the time in life, facts, truths, and reality about things that shape people's lives and fates in the world don't always sound nice or pleasant.

If your doctor tells you have a terminal sickness or disease condition in your body, does that sound nice in your ears? But does not that mean the doctor was responsible for putting that sickness in your body?   If you are ashamed to acknowledge that God decree death as a judgement and punishment against sin and rebellion. Maybe you think that will makes God complicit in the atrocities of death. If that is the trail of your thoughts then you do not really know the God who created the universe.

‘’Just like a doctor who informs his patience of terminal diseases in his or her body is not responsible for presence of that sickness or diseases in the body of his patient so God is not responsible for the works of death in the lives of humanity.’’

INSTRUMENTS OR TOOLS ARE NEEDED TO EXECUTE  JUDGEMENT

Psa_89:14 │ Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face.

You cannot love or like judgement without instruments, tools, or devices to execute, implement, deliver, or enforce it. The decisions you make as a judge cannot be enforced, administrated, or executed without instruments or means available to you.

A judgment cannot be enforced or implemented without the necessary instruments or means. Instruments, tools, means, and devices help you execute and enforce
