In answering my own question of this blog, I don’t feel I can prove much of anything if people don’t believe me. It will be 18 years since the Angels come this Thanksgiving evening on Thursday of this week. I don’t believe I could prove the Angels in a debate or even in a court of law. But as those who know me have frequently said about me, the proof of the Angels is myself. I could say that the proof of the Angels is found in how I interpret the Bible from cover to cover. But the fact is, some who have known me prior to the Angels might suggest that the Angels didn’t really change my thinking about the taking of human life. I would say this is true, except for my belief in the taking of MY own life. And this is how the Angels changed my thinking. No one has a right from God to take his or her own life.
Now, think about that for a moment. There is NEVER a reason for anyone to take his or her own life. I have discussed the sin of murder almost as much as I can, but the fact is that I can’t prove that Angels told me that Jesus died for EVERY sin except for the sins of murder and suicide. I can’t prove that Angels told me that if we knew what heaven was like we would be falling all over ourselves trying to get in. And my fear is that if I told as many as I could all the things I claim the Angels told me, then people will forget the most important things the Angels told me. The Angels said some things about who I am to God, however, I am not able to offer salvation to anyone, nor am I able to judge anyone for God. It’s my task, I feel, to simply state what I claim Angels have told me and I have to allow God to do the rest.
I am a recluse of sorts, but by my own choosing. I don’t feel like discussing the Angels with anyone out of fear doing so would cast doubt in the minds of others that the Angels aren’t real to me. However, I can state that I have a comfort level with God that I know very few people possess or have possessed. I don’t doubt my salvation and I don’t doubt what God has done for me through the Angels. But I think part of the reason why I am more of a recluse is because I have had to discuss the Angels to the point where I don’t want to discuss the Angels. I would rather be a demagogue and not allow for dialogue. But as someone close to me has said, this limits me in spreading the news of the Grace of God. I don’t condemn anyone for what he or she does. In fact, I would rather focus on the Grace of God even when I believe I know how God WILL judge others, but that I know for a fact that I am NOT God’s judge. I can only state HOW I know God will judge the world when the Messiah comes.
So, the Message of the Angels is two-fold. It’s not enough just to say the Messiah is near, but to state how the Messiah will judge the world when He arrives. Now, if anyone were to ask me what the Message of the Angels means, I would say this: Life begins at the very instant of conception and from that moment forward, EVERY life belongs to God and to God only and that only God can take a human life. No one can hasten death and there is nothing anyone can do to cause his or her own death. I have been asked whether God makes exceptions for those who do NOT know this. And you know, all I can say is that I don’t believe God makes exceptions, but what I can say is that the Grace of God covers all other sins. I would rather focus on the Grace of God than to speak about His judgment. And then there are those who would ask me whether I think I COULD be wrong. And to that question I can say that I could be wrong, but then I would add that I don’t think so.
As to what I do from this point forward really is up to God. Some have asked me why I don’t use my real name but rather go by the pseudonym of “Brother Ralphie.” I had a life prior to the Angels and that in fact it was guilt that caused me to desire to take my own life. But God intervened by giving me Angels. I don’t need to go into any more detail than this. Angels saved my life. Why did it take me so long to be public about the Angels? I would say that I decided I would convince those closest to me and once I had accomplished this, I would be prepared to share the Angels with the world. Why did it take me so long to do this? I didn’t want to be an embarrassment to my family and to those who know me. I just needed people around me who believed in the Angels and once I was able to do that, I was able to go public with the Angels.
Where do I go from here? I don’t know. That is up to God. It’s possible the Angels were only for myself. And if that is the case, then I can tell others what God has done for me; and then the Message is for them and not really for the world. If God wants the Message of the Angels to be for the world, all I have to do is relax and let God do the rest. It has taken me almost 18 years for me to relax about the Angels. It’s something I had to learn to do for myself. There really aren’t too many examples I can follow. I guess anyone could say that I am just “winging” it. Peace.
