Some people believe that we are living inside a computer simulation. There is some sense to understand our existence in this way. All that exists in this material world can be divided into measurable units just like pixels in video-games. Even space time and energy are finite and our universe itself is possible to measure. Fine-tuning of universe and especially conditions on earth to allow life to exist practically exclude any chance to have it accidental appear in our system.

Inventions in quantum-physics point to that direction: When an electron is being observed it behaves like particle and if not observed like wave. It means that that our brains and observation actually create our surroundings into mater. Otherwise it is in superposition without form and existence. ("Solid mater dissolves away, to be replaced by weird excitations and vibrations on invisible field energy"/ The Matter Myth) Albert Einstein once stated that "moon exist even I am not observing it." I think that Creator of all (God Himself) is the ultimate observer who holds the universe in it's form. In Quantum world the speed of light is not the fastest way to communicate. If two particles (photons) are entangled and separated even light years apart: What happens to the other part has an effect to it's partner instantly like they were one particle regardless of distance and time.

The mind twisting demon behind the materialism doesn’t like this concept of designed world with Designer. With this world-view there is but only a short step towards Christianity with Creator God.

Before I become born-again Christian I thought that we live in kind of a fish-tank. If it exist so complicated system there must be more life and intelligent existence in the universe than just this one. We are observed but not disturbed or much interfered. Individually I didn’t see much meaning or purpose of my existence. I just live for a while and then cease to exist. Better just eat and drink and not to think too much of it.

By adopting Christian world-view I got purpose for my life. This material world and universe is just scenery and main focus is towards individual persons.

God is unselfish and not self-promotional Supreme Being who likes to share His existence and life with us. Motivations are love and pity as opposite to this world- system where selfishness and hate are very prevailing. John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in Him should not PERISH, but have ETERNAL LIFE."

In the Fall of man souls of Adam and Eve end to be ALIVE. They experienced spiritual DEATH . After that the soul of man just like the body was slowly deteriorating. "He who is filthy, let him be filthy still." Man lost his innocence and got different mind with it's consequences.

By believing devil Eva adopted some kind of multiculturalism where different cultures and belief- systems are equal and God is not absolute TRUTH: God's word and commandments are only subjective and relating only to His personal view.

"I can decide what is good and evil by myself and be like God." So the unity and fellowship with God was broken: "I know better than my Father."

We are so thick-headed and egoistic that normally we refuse to believe different opinions than our own even if the origin is from everlasting God, Creator of all existence. It is: Pottery know the things better than the Potter. Where you compare God: "Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens can't contain You."(1 Kings 8:27) and "Behold, the nations are like a drop in a bucket and are regarded as a speck of dust on a balance" "All the nations are like nothing before Him." (Isaiah 40:15,17)

God knows everything:" Even the hairs of your head have all been numbered" (Luke12:7) meaning that He knows all our thoughts and the level of our righteousness.

In His mercy God provided cure for us in our spiritual DEATH and means to avoid consequences of sin. That cure is inside Christ by owning His LIFE together with Him by being His body. However to have cure you need to take medicine which is blood of Christ trough His word. If you refuse to take it (PURE milk) you haven't the remedy either. (John.6:53,63)

The spiritual medicine is especially the promises He gave to us to swallow.

If you don't eat My mindset and drink My mind, will and emotions you haven't My LIFE either in yourself. The words which I am speaking are the Spirit and the LIFE.

The main promise is that God took us into Himself on the cross, was rejected by Father because of our sins and our devilish selfish nature Christ now was participating with us. Jesus then died out of this existence and took back His previous LIFE which we now can have being one with Him; not only in His death but in His resurrection from the death also by taking back His SOUL. (Rom.6:5)

John.10:17,18 " Therefore the Father loves me, because I lay down my LIFE (= psyche: LIFE/ KJ, SOUL/ Literal Translation) that I may take it again (so that those united with Christ by faith on the cross shall also have it).

By believing this process it will be reality for us and we can be imitators of Paul: "I don't LIVE any more but Christ in me" because I AM owning His LIFE together with Christ and inside Him.

"Without faith it is impossible to please, for HE who comes to God must believe that HE IS " (not only that God exists but that I in unity with Christ now own His name "I AM" and existence) Heb.11:6 Lit.

"There is salvation in no one else; for there is no other NAME (than Jesus Christ/I AM) under heaven that has been given among men, by (through) which we must be saved." Acts 4:12

Jesus by giving us His name (in unity with Him) gave us His personality and glory (= humble and unselfish mind) as well. Of course this is an ongoing process and we must grow (in the knowledge of Him) to the full age of Christ.

2Cor.2:18 Lit. "But we all with face (= personality) having been unveiled, having beheld the glory of the Lord in a mirror, are being changed into the same image from glory to glory, as from the Lord Spirit."

2Tess.2:14 ..."He called you through our gospel, to obtain the glory of your Lord Jesus Christ."

Every born-again Christian starts as a new baby owning one talent of His personality and should mature further by trials and under the disciplinary hand of God.

Isa.9:5 "For a child is born to us. A son is given to us....His name will be called Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace there shall be no end, on David's throne and on his kingdom,... " meaning that renewal of our mind will continue for ever although ( I think) in slower steps in heaven with no pressure.

We are saved as long as we have even this one birthday talent in our possession as the robber on the right side of Jesus on the cross had it by faith to the promise of Jesus and His personality. (Jesus died before him and I believe took back His LIFE instantly)

Exodus of the ancient Israelites from Egypt to Israel through the desert was written as an example and warning for us Christians in our pilgrimage from this world through the dry land ( = territory of mind) without LIFE to the promised (rainy and green) land full of LIFE. (1Cor10:1...11)

Departure from Egypt through the Sea is an example of born-again baptism to Christ. Our birthday present was new Spirit without measure and new LIFE with measure.

But then the Holy Spirit led the Israelites to the desert without LIFE.

We should count ourselves dead to sin with Christ and ALIVE to God in raised Jesus Christ. If we live according to flesh, we are going to DIE out of the LIFE of Christ, but if by the Spirit we put to death the practises of flesh we will (continue ) to LIVE (Rom.8:13) . So in temptation it is better to think if you like to please the Spirit and preserve the LIFE and peace of mind with it or yield to the sin and go to the desert.

In a practical sense the desert journey is going through the dry land from one green oasis to the next one. Seven times the righteous will die and rise again to the LIFE. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1John1:9)

To be in the desert doesn’t mean that you have lost the Holy Spirit in you. You will lose the Spirit if you are going back to Egypt (= back to this world and it's belief-systems) or you were captured to the Babylon ( it is: you adopt heresy and receive another Christ and spirit what you had at the beginning of your journey). (2Cor11:4, Gal.1:6)

When Peter said to Jesus:"What of this one (John)? " Jesus answered: I desire him to remain (and not lose his LIFE) until I come back ( to fetch him into heaven). (John.21:22) Basically all desert-journey is a school of life for us to learn to preserve the LIFE of Jesus and stay in Him. Especially just before the rapture remember to stay on the roof ( close to Jesus owning His LIFE) and not to go downstairs to fetch anything old. (Matt.24:17)

Both Old and New Testaments are full of parables and examples how to recover from the spiritual death. Samson, Natzirite to God from the womb (= "razor shall not go on his head") told to Delilah (woman symbolising his flesh) all his heart. Delilah got his head shaved. Sampson lost his power and "Jehovah departed from him". Philistines seized him and poured out his eyes. He end up grinding (=spiritual meaning: meditating the word of God) in the house of prisoners. But then the hair of his head began to grow and he got back his standing and power in God. (Jesus told us that the words of Him are the Spirit and LIFE (and when we study them He will pour His LIFE into us). In the garden of Eden after the Fall Adam and Eva tried to cover their nakedness with fig leaves. From that moment onwards fig lives represent man- made righteousness meaning hypocrisy. Then "the Lord God made long coats (tunics) of skin, and clothed them" (Gen.3:21 Amplified). So hairy covering represent the real righteousness we have in Christ. Women (usually symbolising fleshly women or MEN) should cover their own (fleshly) head with long hair whereas men should not cover their head which is Christ but imitate Him with all boldness.

John16:21 "A woman when she gives birth, has sorrow because her time has come. But when she has delivered the child, she doesn't remember the anguish any more, for the joy that child is born into the world." Child represent the NEW LIFE that we have in Jesus Christ. It represent too the fruits of the Spirit like when Abraham got Isak he named the child "Joy". Actually the fruits: peace, love and joy are included in the LIFE of Jesus.

1Cor 15:50 "Flesh (egoistical mindset) and blood (selfish human thoughts and emotions) cannot inherit the kingdom of God." So it make sense to say that: "women will be saved through childbearing (meaning: receiving NEW LIFE with Christ) if they remain in faith and love and and holiness with self-control". (1Tim2:15) (If you don't agree with the meaning, check which idea match better with Paul's previous sentences: literal- traditional or spiritual)

One can lose the child, and there are many stories in the Bible how the dead (Jesus said: sleeping) child was raised up from the dead again.

When Jesus sacrificed His LIFE and JOY on the cross just like Abraham was asked, He had the same faith that God can rase them up again. And not only in Him but in His brothers as well.

2Kings 4:8...44 When Shunammite woman lost her son her soul was very troubled within her. First Gehazi servant of Elisha tried to restore the lad from the death and laid Elisha's staff (representing the evangelical word of God) on the lad's face. "The lad was not Awakened" Then Elisha himself did give him (her) deeper treatment. If we speak, look and act like the bride of Christ: The sleeping child will be raised back to life.

Paul did the same thing than Elisha: Eutychus, when Paul kept talking, was overcome by sleep and fell down from the third floor and was dead. Then Paul by embracing the dead body said: "Don't be troubled, for his LIFE (natural & spiritual) is in him." (Act 20:9,10)

I think that we can transfer LIFE by laying of hands as LIFE of Christ is a poured substance. Song 1:3 "Your NAME (= PERSONALITY = SOUL= LIFE=BLOOD, looking from different angles) is ointment poured forth." Whatever you loose on earth will be released in heaven." Of course if the container is empty you can't pour anything.

When I was a one year old Christian, I did ask from the pastor of our church that how one can know that he is among the wise virgins when Christ is coming back. Proper answer might have been that "there is no condemnation (guilt- feelings) to those who are in Christ Jesus" (Rom.8:1) and if and when we have these, it is better to repent and cry after the name of the Lord as He can't deny Himself and will forgive us and pour His his blood upon us. Joh.16:33 Lit. In Me you have peace (because of My LIFE), in the world you have distress (because of your own life).

How is it then that anybody who believes will be saved and the five foolish virgins were waiting the Lord as well? It is against the Lord's word to believe that you can enter into the kingdom of heaven as a sinner. We are allowed inside only in wedding dress which is Jesus Christ Himself. It is: inside Jesus we are holy and sinless and acceptable to God. He who believes God's word not devil's lies will enter. Once saved always saved even when you harbour bitterness and sin is a big lie.

If you stay in more or less heretic Church you maybe get the answer that all wise virgins are in this church and the stupid ones are in our neighbour’s congregation.

The answer I got was that the parable about the ten virgins wasn’t our concern at all because the virgins were all Jews and the whole story was written for them. In that moment I realised that you can't really trust anyone and the only way is to personally penetrate the secrets of the writings. Of course it is helpful to read and hear what others are thinking about the matter as well. Soon after that I did change to a different church.

What the foolish virgins were lacking was LIFE and blood of Jesus. Without the oil the fire (Spirit) will eventually be extinguished. It wasn't from God as it was written that "smoking flax (wick) He will not quench." Isa 42:3 KJ.

Just before the rapture (Isa. 26:20) and the period of seven years tribulation and fury of the Lord on the earth (= period of seven years wedding feast in heaven) will be the revival of the sleeping believers ( = resurrection of the dead)

Isa.26:17,19 Lit. "As a pregnant woman draws near to bear, she writhes and cries out in her bangs. So are we before You Jehovah." "Your dead ones shall LIVE, my dead body, they shall rise up. Awake and sing, dust-dwellers, for the dew of lights is your dew, and the earth shall cast out departed spirits" (those who are one with the Holy spirit but without the LIFE of Jesus.) That is the sleeping virgins wake up from their sleep.

Unfortunately if you are in the wrong church and believe the Pharisees instead of Jesus you will reject this last revival as a heresy and will be "a left behind Christian" left knocking to the closed door.
