The Answer to Matthew 27:52-53

Matthew's story contains various events that could not have happened simultaneously or in succession.

These events were written from Matthew’s firsthand experience, and some were recounted to Matthew by other witnesses. Many different people witnessed these events from various perspectives at different times.

Matthew’s story was written long after the crucifixion, and it was compiled from information gathered from approximately five or more witnesses.

According to this passage, the events are not sequential, which is crucial for understanding this account of the crucifixion story. This passage presents a meticulously crafted historical account of the various events that transpired during the crucifixion. It delves into the reactions of people during Matthew’s time and illustrates the profound impact of Christ’s death, particularly the spiritual resurrection described in Matthew 27:52-53, which underscores the significance of his resurrection.

This story delves into the profound tragedy of our Savior’s death and its far-reaching impact on the future of the people and nation during that era. Matthew employs a unique literary technique known as free-flowing prose, specifically a Stream of Consciousness, which serves as a form of Indirect Internal Dialogue. This dialogue allows Matthew to shift the topic and insert Matthew 27:52-53 to acknowledge the immediate benefits and power of Jesus’ resurrection, which Matthew later witnessed on the Day of Pentecost. Matthew is conveying to the reader the direct connection between Jesus’ resurrection and the resurrection of the saints in Christ.

A truthful examination of the facts and an understanding of the underlying principles lead to this conclusion. As per Matthew, the resurrection of saints is a spiritual baptism of the Holy Spirit. This aligns with the account of this resurrection on the Day of Pentecost, which Matthew himself witnessed and preached.

No OTW individuals were resurrected after Jesus’ resurrection, and the concept of a pre-resurrection is a myth. The truth is that the doctrine of the OTW resurrection, currently taught as a physical resurrection of the saints mentioned in Hebrew 11 and Matthew 27:52-53, is a false doctrine.

Did God Release Satan From The Curse?

Was satan so powerful he broke the curse God placed upon him? Or did God release him from the curse?

ME: Gen 3:14 ME: Genesis 3:14 states that the curse itself is as much a death curse as the curse of death is for Adam and Eve and all mankind. The reason God mentioned the animals is that the angel became less than the animals, whose spirit would return to God. The angels are bound to die in the Lake of Fire, which represents eternal death or becoming nonexistent, as if they were never created. He was “cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field.”

To further comprehend the curse imposed upon the angel, it was decreed that it would limit its lifespan. This curse is governed by the lifespan of mankind living in sin. As long as there exists a human being who sins, the angel will continue to exist. The angel sustains itself or exists because there are humans on Earth who have not overcome their sins. Humanity is the dust upon which the angel feeds, and it will pursue its own desires until the end of the 1000-year reign.

The curse itself doesn’t restrict the travel or movement of the angel in any way. He is free to be wherever humans can be or travel to. The angel is connected to humanity as an anchor is to a ship. I believe his deepest wish is that humanity will continue to produce offspring. More babies mean a longer life for this angel and his angels who follow after him. This is why he doesn’t want humanity to overcome. Overcomers don’t have children and are not human mortals capable of sinning.

The angel (Satan) possesses no more supernatural power than any other being created by God. While he shares the same abilities as other heavenly angels, his existence is granted by God and governed by Him. His power is a mere afterthought or a fleeting wish; it is a manifestation of God’s will. When the Lord permitted the temptation and tribulation to befall Job, He allowed the angel to employ any means imaginable to break Job, except for the ultimate act of killing him. This was a singular occurrence, and there is no record of the angel possessing such extraordinary supernatural power in any other part of the Bible. The only other occurrence that tells of supernatural abilities by the angel which every comes close to experiencing a similar temptation is with the Lord Himself during His wilderness trial.

God’s children, particularly those who possess the Holy Ghost and are well-informed about who and what adversaries are, should not fear angels or any supernatural entities or creations, including demon processions.

Fallen angels can only influence humans through the same means as the Lord does—through His words and ideas conveyed through any available communication channels. That is his power; he are the prince and power of the air.

Eph 2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

God has never released the fallen angel or his angels that have followed him, their is no redeemer for a fallen angel and no repentance given nor accepted. The angel has been sentenced to die and is struggling and fighting to keep mankind producing more and more babies. He has to stop overcoming at any cost and is influencing the children of disobedience every single moment of his lingering existence.

He is not our greatest enemy; we are our greatest foe. The Old Man is and has more power than the fallen angel. However, the Old Man is the fallen angels’ best friend. The Old Man was the first man the angel ever had a conversation with, influencing her to do wrong.

God is never simply labeled “the Enemy of Israel”

God is never simply labeled “the Enemy of Israel” as a fixed title or as an inherent part of His nature. While His actions may be hostile, they are a form of disciplinary correction intended to bring about repentance and restoration, akin to a Father disciplining His children. God was never the enemy.

The word “Satan” in the Bible has a specific meaning, associated with particular deeds and desires that are evil, immoral, and designed to be sinful commited by a specific individual. It refers to a sinful heart with self-centered intent of that individual within the context of where it is written.. “Satan” is a name or title used in context wherever it appears to denote such.

God employs Satan to fulfill His desire for punishment or testing of nations and individuals. God’s love for Israel is best understood within the context of the Mosaic Covenant, the agreement between God and Israel at Mount Sinai.

The covenant (found in books like Leviticus and Deuteronomy) laid out blessings for obedience and curses for disobedience. Key passages like Leviticus 26 and Deuteronomy 28 explicitly state that if Israel is persistently unfaithful, God will bring upon them the curses of the covenant, including military defeat, famine, and exile, often by using foreign nations as His instrument.

God is not a capricious enemy; God is the righteous judge enforcing the terms of the covenant that Israel themselves agreed to. His actions, while hostile, are a form of disciplinary correction intended to bring about repentance and restoration.

I firmly believe that Satan does not make anyone believe or do anything.

Satan, the fallen angel in the Garden of Eden, disguised as an angel of light, called the Serpent by Eve and called the tree of knowledge of good and evil by the Lord, did not make Eve or Adam do anything. The only thing Satan did was present Eve with an alternative way of living, a different perspective, and a different understanding of the law given to them by the Lord. This alternative outcome was created by the words given as fruit to eat and be absorbed into their minds.

Eve, misguided and believing, shared her knowledge of good and evil with her husband, Adam. Upon hearing her words, Adam immediately misunderstood the source of this knowledg, it was from the tree or Satan. He willingly accepted it and sinned to please Eve instead of God. In response, he made her a dress.

Mankind learned from Satan. If you read the third chapter of Genesis, you can clearly see that the Lord cursed three different beings: the Serpent, Eve, and Adam. Scripture explicitly states that Adam was not cursed twice. If God had cursed Adam twice, why didn’t he simply mention it?

Satan, the first influencer of his kind, has the power of words and emotion to influence humans to do their own bidding and make self-centered decisions. His influence is behind every false teaching and every disturbance against God’s will. The sinner rejects the will of our heavenly Father and accepts the will of another sinful Father,Satan, doing whatever they please.

1Co 11:3 God Jesus Man Woman

1Corinthians 11:3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.

1Corinthians 11:3, I am offering this as my interpretation of that scripture.

There have been good explanations about with many different things, and very good examples of how doctrines are created.

Many have explained the spiritual, but lack the natural meaning of this scripture. Through spiritualizing the matter of the scripture, you have lost the intent of the scripture.

I will attempt to explain the intent rather than the spiritual aspect. Neither can afford to deny their existence.

is describing the of mankind’s position in the government of the , as ordained by .

This has minimal impact on each individual’s salvation, unless it is disregarded or dishonored through ignorance or rebellion.

By natural selection, guided by the Almighty God, there exists a pecking order. God established this order twice: once during the creation of the world and again during the .

In the order of creation, God first created , then man, and finally, woman. This order is not a recognition of political positions but rather a reflection of creation, power, and responsibility.

Each creation was made slightly inferior to the previous one. God is greater than Jesus, who is greater than man, and man is greater than woman. This is the natural order of things. However, there is an exception to this rule, as God created in his plan of grace that the woman is greater than her children.

You must admit that the woman was specifically created for the purpose of bearing children and serving as a companion to men. God designed it that way, and this is not a whim or fancy conceived by me or any other male person. This fact is entirely , and Paul acknowledges it as a fundamental aspect of human understanding and fulfillment.

If a woman fails to acknowledge her place in creation, power, and responsibility, she is either uneducated, in which case it’s a matter of ignorance that falls on both her husband and the preacher she follows, or she’s rebelling against God’s word, indicating that she’s lost her first love.

Every woman should be an example of meekness and virtue, capable of compromise, negotiation, and being subject to her husband’s agenda, just as he should be subject to hers.

Jesus was not destined to be the Almighty God, nor was man meant to be Jesus, nor was woman meant to be man. God is the perfect God, Jesus is the perfect Jesus, and man is meant to become the perfect man, while woman is made to become the perfect woman, all according to God’s plan.

Man and woman, in their fallen state of grace, are to be perfected, embodying Jesus in both words and actions. However, a man cannot become a perfected woman. A man cannot undergo the same tests and trials as a woman. The most evident test and trial would be childbirth, as a mother or a wife. A man lacks the understanding and experience of what it means to be a woman in any way. God has not called men to be feminine; they can only be masculine. This is the way of God’s creation.

Just as a man must learn to be a leader, a woman must learn to become a follower and helpmate. Biblically, a woman is not called to be an office holder if all the needs of a church can be fulfilled by a man. This is biblical law or understanding. However, if there is no man to fulfill the position in question, a female can fill it. Similarly, if God decides there is a need, he can put a woman into any position he chooses. The caveat is that the woman in that position would still be under her husband’s leadership and willing to relinquish that position if a man of God becomes available.

The obvious question is: what, when, why, and how is the woman supposed to follow? A woman’s role is to naturally and spiritually follow others who are examples and leaders. She should allow her partner to benefit from her trust and lead her in life. Her life is to be bound to her companion, the church, to be vigilant in trusting those in leadership positions. In doing so, she will reach perfection.

If ever the man fails to fulfill his leadership role, the woman is tasked with enforcing the commandments of God and natural government to restore or guide him in regaining his position in creation. She should utilize all her divine talents and wisdom to ensure his place in the kingdom of God. Furthermore, she should motivate and inspire her husband or preacher to excel beyond their personal limitations. After all, she was created as a companion to man, not as his servant.

Ultimately, a woman is free to interpret biblical righteousness as she sees fit. She is responsible for discovering her own authentic path and position within the kingdom of God, rather than usurping any authority held by men.
