Excerpt from Chapter TWO One Thousand Years Genesage
One Thousand Years: Genesage
Many survivors' attitudes from this first generation had become very proud of their presumed
resistance to the Evil One. Assuming they had resisted the great deception that had come
upon the whole world. Many people and nearly the entire world had accepted this great
savior of mankind. When they should have known better, they never realized it was a spiritual
battle also. Without the Spirit of Truth to guide them, many followed the Lie.
Before the Rapture, that Spirit of Truth, the ability to tell Truth from Fiction, or lie from fact
had been in place in the world. Since the Spirit of God was in the world influencing Human
Kind and hindering the “demonic” Spirit Kind from deceiving humanity the world had some
semblance of order. After the Rapture it was a different story. Chaos reigned with demonic
influences.
The Holy Spirit “caught up” those who were prepared and awaiting the call of Jesus to meet
him in the air, the event being once called a pre-tribulation rapture. Those who were fortunate
enough to be selected by God to be spared from the World Tribulation simply called it a
perfect exit plan. The ones who were “left behind” were subject to horrors and deceptions
they never imagined possible.
The Kingdom of God suffered violence and the Violent were taking it by force with the
influence of the Spirit of Truth removed. People easily accepted lies as well as the growing
power of the demonic to influence humanity to evil.
Very few of those who had indeed survived the challenges of life or death and torture
admitted their personal responsibility. Worse still some even turned that personal
accountability into denial by assuming their "salvation" from those times was in some way
"earned" by their actions in the Great Tribulation. It was a clever lie planted in them during
Tribulation in case there was to be a One Thousand Years.
That idea could not have been further from the Truth. Without the "Spirit of Truth", the one
who was given to lead people into Truth, they created their own perspective to explain why
God had spared them and not their loved ones.
Many of those who presumed a "hand" in their own destiny had inherited pride to hide the
anger they felt over the end of all things as they knew it. They didn't regard the fact openly that
they had failed to be prepared when Messiah came. They held to an idea they were better off
for having been through the Tribulation period. Like a coping mechanism once in place but no
longer needed and never used, it seemed to make no sense at all. It would have been much
easier to admit the fact they blew it, made a mistake, and accept personal responsibility for it.
However the fact of the attitudes remained. Many in the Survivor Party took the attitude that
God had "Chosen" them to survive and become a "Chosen Survivor" rather than simply a
recipient of grace. Instead of being a person God spared they chose to think that in some way
they deserved to be saved. To them, each individual was unique and especially designed by
God to survive the Tribulation period and usher in some Great Revival of Mankind.
Perhaps something inside their soul scarred each one from all they had seen. Maybe
something inside their heart had hardened them from all they had heard. It could have been
they had too much to handle. No matter what they saw, heard, and handled with their own
hands now, they still held stubbornly to the idea they were chosen people. Not THE Chosen
People, but selected none the less. Even so something it seemed still held them captive to
looking backwards with yearnings rather than forwards with thankfulness into the Kingdom.
Somehow the focus was not on God but man.
