Lazurus, Come Forth!

Awake, Bride of Christ! Arise from your slumber and step forth from the tomb of religious deception. The hour is late; the trumpet sounds loudly—do you hear it? It is not the polished voice of another charismatic TED speaker, nor is it the orchestrated call of a CEO Pastor’s Sunday spectacle. It is the voice of King Jesus Himself, echoing through eternity, reverberating across the Great Basin Region and beyond, shaking the foundations of Babylon, and dismantling every stronghold erected against His Bride.

Ephesians 2:19-22 "So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of God’s household, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the corner stone, in whom the whole building, being fitted together, is growing into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also are being built together into a dwelling of God in the Spirit."

Moroni is defeated, bound, and cast down. His golden idols crumble beneath the authority of King Jesus and His anointed Ambassadors of Reconciliation. The spiritual darkness of the LDS empire is pierced with the brilliant, unrelenting fire of Heaven’s Truth.

For too long, precious souls—millions of our Mormon neighbors, friends, and families—have languished in a religious prison, deceived by false doctrine, enslaved by a centralized hierarchy masquerading as God’s chosen. Today, we declare with Holy boldness that the reign is ended.

Jesus Christ, our One True Head, is here to ignite the earth with Holy Fire. His Decentralized Church rises from the ashes of Babylon. This is not another temporary movement; it is the fulfillment of God's original blueprint—Eden restored and perfected through the Blood of the Lamb.

Today, we proclaim the emergence of a revolutionary infrastructure: the KINGDOM Empowered Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO). This DAO is owned by King Jesus, a radical divine disruption, abolishing the corrupted Nicolaitan hierarchy, and ushering in the greatest wealth transfer since creation itself.

Awaken, Remnant! Arise, Lazarus generation! The centralized Babylonian church system—CEO Pastors and their religious kingdoms built on sand—is collapsing under divine judgment. No more time remains for negotiation or compromise. Step down immediately, CEO Pastors. Repent now, or remain to face the refining fires of the coming Great Tribulation. Your reign of manipulation, fear, and control has ended. Jesus will no longer tolerate Jezebel’s seduction or Nicolaitan oppression within His Bride.

We call forth the five wise virgins—those who have fully invested their talents into Christ’s eternal Kingdom. Your lamps are filled, your oil abundant. You have been prepared, sanctified, and set apart for this hour. Jesus summons you to become His living, breathing witnesses—ambassadors equipped not by human merit but by surrendered weakness, purified through His grace and goodness.

Let Babylon’s wealth crumble, for Christ’s abundant provision is now released upon the earth through His decentralized DAO. Once you've tasted the true, grace-filled economy of Christ's Kingdom (steak and lobster), you'll never again settle for bowls of “maggots and pus” in Babylon’s scarcity-driven economy. The choice is yours, Surf n Turf, or maggots and pus.

Rise now, Bride of Christ! Unite city by city, node by node, in a Holy Spirit-driven community. Withdraw all support from Babylon’s deceptive structures. Redirect your tithes, your gifts, and your worship exclusively to King Jesus and His decentralized DAO. Watch the false shepherds scatter. Witness the Nicolaitan hirelings flee when their sustenance dries up. Then behold, the unshakable unity and exponential empowerment of the Body of Christ, free from centralized tyranny, fully surrendered to our one true King, Jesus.

The call is clear. The moment is now. The fire has come.

Awaken! Arise! Return to your First Love, and behold His unstoppable Kingdom of Grace rising on earth as it is in Heaven.

The Importance of "The First Love"

In Revelation 2, Jesus explicitly addresses the church of Ephesus about losing their "first love":

Revelation 2:4 "But I have this against you, that you have left your first love."

This statement isn't a mere reprimand; it is a profound call to reflect on the core of creation itself. What exactly is "THE FIRST LOVE"? Why is it so central to Jesus' heart, and how do we return to it?

To understand this, we must journey back to the very beginning.

Who Created the "First Love"?

Before time began, the Trinity—Father, Son (the Word), and Holy Spirit—existed in perfect unity, harmony, and love. They are eternal, infinite, and unchanging. Love was not something they needed to learn; it was who they were and who they continue to be.

1 John 4:8 "The one who does not love does not know God, for God is love."

Yet, in an act beyond comprehension, the Trinity chose to express their eternal love outwardly through creation. Jesus, the Word of God, was and is and will always be the agent of creation. The Trinity brought into existence everything, not from necessity, but from desire—motivated purely by love.

John 1:1–3 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being."

Love, joy, faithfulness, righteousness—these did not originate in humanity. They began within the very heart of God. Therefore, the "FIRST LOVE" was not a human invention but a divine expression, initiated by the Trinity and perfectly manifested in the act of creation.

Humanity: The Object of God's "First Love"

When the Trinity first spoke creation into existence through THE WORD OF GOD, humanity was intentionally designed as the primary recipient of their love. The Trinity IS LOVE, and they love one another without limits. Humans were not just created to witness love but to experience it deeply, intimately, and eternally. As He is, so are we in this world. God’s children are LOVE-PERIOD. You and I are expressions (witnesses) of His love.

Genesis 1:26–27 "Then God said, 'Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness... God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.'"

In creating humanity, God intended to share His eternal goodness, joy, and love, not out of need, but out of the overflow of His nature and character. Humanity is literally God’s inheritance, the treasure of His creation, and the primary object of His divine affection.

Jesus: The Perfect Expression of "The First Love"

God's first love toward humanity became fully realized and tangible in the incarnation of Jesus Christ. Jesus, the visible image of the invisible God, came as the direct and ultimate revelation of this eternal love.

Colossians 1:15–17 "He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by Him all things were created... He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together."

The act of Christ’s incarnation, His suffering, crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension, are the perfect “continuing” demonstrations of His first love. His love never changes. The love of God expressed through Christ’s life is redemptive, sacrificial, unconditional, and eternally powerful. It is for us.

Losing the First Love: The Nicolaitan Trap

In Revelation, Jesus criticizes the Nicolaitan model of church governance, a hierarchical structure placing human mediators between Christ and His Body. This structure inadvertently disconnects believers from the simplicity and purity of directly experiencing God's original love through Christ alone.

The Nicolaitan system substitutes rituals, ceremonies, and human traditions for the authentic, vibrant intimacy with Christ—the true "FIRST LOVE." Jesus emphatically rebukes such systems:

Revelation 2:6 "Yet this you do have, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate."

He calls us back to personal intimacy, rejecting systems of human mediation that dilute direct communion with the Divine and the full expression of HIS WITNESS THROUGH US. CEO-Pastors, step down immediately.

Returning to the "First Love": How?

The answer Jesus gives in Revelation is clear:

Revelation 2:5 "Therefore remember from where you have fallen, and repent and do the deeds you did at first."

Returning to the first love is not about striving harder, performing religious duties, or pursuing external righteousness. It is about repentance—a turning back to intimacy, simplicity, and direct fellowship with Jesus Himself. It is about reclaiming our original identity as His beloved children, fully known and fully loved by God, the full TRINITY.

Practically, this involves:

Humility: Admitting our absolute dependency and weakness, embracing our need for Grace.

Simplicity: Stripping away religious complexities, rituals, and man-made traditions.

Intimacy: Regularly entering His presence, listening to His voice, and submitting to His direction.

The Result of Returning to Our First Love

When we return to our first love, we step fully back into our intended identity and purpose:

We become fully alive, spiritually vibrant, and radiantly joyful.

Our lives reflect God’s original design: unity, humility, service, and self-sacrificial love, all by Grace.

We live in the abundance of His Grace, liberated from fear, scarcity, and striving.

We become a genuine reflection of the image of Christ, as we were always meant to be.

2 Corinthians 3:18 "But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit."

A Return to Our True Identity

The "FIRST LOVE" is not merely an emotional sentiment; it is our true identity and eternal purpose. Humanity was created out of divine love, for divine love, to become divine love.

The call from Jesus in Revelation 2 is urgent. The world is spiraling toward spiritual darkness and deception. The Church’s return to its "FIRST LOVE" is not just advisable—it's vital. It is the heart cry of Jesus for His beloved Bride to be restored, renewed, and ready for His imminent return.

This restoration to our original identity, the First Love, is foundational for everything else. Without this, decentralization, community, and true Kingdom living become impossible.

Returning to the "FIRST LOVE" reconnects us to the Trinity’s original plan—transforming us into the glorious image of Jesus Christ Himself.

"The Two Economies: World's Economy vs. Kingdom of God's Economy"

An In-Depth Biblical Exploration

Introduction: The Tale of Two Economies

Throughout Scripture, two distinct economic models consistently emerge: the world’s economy, centralized and driven by scarcity, and God’s Kingdom economy, decentralized and driven by abundant grace. The former is built upon fear, coercion, and scarcity; the latter upon love, generosity, and overflowing provision.

From Genesis through Revelation, these economies stand in stark contrast—each representing vastly different kingdoms, one ruled by satan and the other by King Jesus.

Let’s deeply explore both economies, contrasting them according to Scripture, to illuminate why God’s original plan is not only superior but essential for Kingdom living today.

The World's Economy: Babylon’s System of Scarcity and Control

The first clear biblical example of the world's economy is found in the construction of Babel:

Genesis 11:4 "They said, 'Come, let us build for ourselves a city, and a tower whose top will reach into heaven, and let us make for ourselves a name; otherwise we will be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth.'"

Characteristics of the World's Economy:

Centralized Control: The Tower of Babel represents humanity's attempt to centralize power, consolidate resources, and maintain control. Centralization inherently depends upon hierarchy, the few ruling the many.

Built on Fear and Scarcity: Babylonian economics thrive on the notion of scarcity. Resources are limited, causing competition, jealousy, greed, and hoarding.

Forced Compliance through Fear: Compliance is enforced through intimidation and threats. The Pharaoh in Egypt, Nebuchadnezzar in Babylon, Caesar in Rome—all ruled through fear, punishment, and coercive control.

Exploitation of the Weak: Weakness is scorned, and the powerless are enslaved or discarded. Human value is reduced to economic output.

Competition and Conflict: Nations and peoples fight to secure scarce resources, driven by envy and fear of loss.

The Spiritual Root—Satan:

Satan is described in Scripture as the "ruler of this world" (John 12:31), whose entire economy is established through deception, theft, destruction, and death:

John 10:10 "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy…"

In the satanic Babylonian model, economics aren’t simply financial—they are deeply spiritual, enslaving hearts and minds under a heavy yoke of bondage and despair.

God’s Kingdom Economy: Abundant Grace and Decentralization

In contrast, God's economy is introduced right at the beginning, in Eden:

Genesis 1:28–29 "God blessed them; and God said to them, 'Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it… Behold, I have given you every plant… and every tree… it shall be food for you.'"

Characteristics of God's Kingdom Economy:

Abundant Provision: In God's economy, resources are abundant and freely provided. God’s supply far exceeds human need, removing fear of scarcity.

Philippians 4:19 "And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus."

Decentralized Stewardship: God's original design is decentralized, with individuals stewarding resources as co-heirs and co-creators under direct relationship with God, not human intermediaries.

Grace-Driven Generosity: Grace does not demand—it only gives. Believers are encouraged to give freely and generously, reflecting God’s abundant generosity.

2 Corinthians 9:8 "And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that always having all sufficiency in everything, you may have an abundance for every good deed."

Equality and Mutual Care: In God's economy, the weak are honored, the strong serve humbly, and everyone is cared for equally.

Acts 4:32 "…not one of them claimed that anything belonging to him was his own, but all things were common property to them."

Peace and Righteousness as Foundation:

God’s economy is sustained by peace and righteousness—justice, truth, and humility.

Isaiah 32:17 "And the work of righteousness will be peace, and the service of righteousness, quietness and confidence forever."

Comparing and Contrasting the Two Economies:

When comparing and contrasting the two economies, the differences could not be more profound. The world’s economy is characterized by centralized hierarchical control, governed by human elites who enforce compliance through fear, greed, and the perception of scarcity. This system exploits and discards weakness, treating human lives as expendable commodities.

Resources within the world’s economy are viewed as limited, fueling fierce competition, conflict, and coercion. Spiritually, this economy finds its root in satan, identified by Jesus as the thief who seeks only to kill, steal, and destroy. Consequently, the fruit produced by the world's economy is death, destruction, and enslavement.

In complete contrast, God’s Kingdom economy operates through decentralized stewardship directly under Christ, who leads not by coercion but by abundant love and generosity. Weakness is honored and protected, recognizing human worth as intrinsic and created in God’s image.

Resources in the Kingdom economy are unlimited, fostering a culture of generosity, cooperation, and mutual blessing. Compliance is voluntary, driven by grace, love, and trust rather than fear or intimidation. The spiritual root of the Kingdom economy is Jesus Christ Himself—the giver of abundant life. As a result, this economy produces life, freedom, flourishing, peace, and eternal joy.

The Defeat of Babylon and the Victory of Christ’s Kingdom:

Babylon, the centralized system, has been prophetically defeated by Jesus Christ, who dismantled satan’s power on the Cross:

Colossians 2:15 "When He had disarmed the rulers and authorities, He made a public display of them, having triumphed over them through Him."

The prophetic fulfillment of Babylon’s ultimate destruction is clearly depicted:

Revelation 18:2 "Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great!"

God’s Kingdom economy, demonstrated by Christ, is eternal, and soon, the world's system will be visibly replaced by God's original plan of abundance:

Revelation 21:5 "And He who sits on the throne said, 'Behold, I am making all things new.'"

Implications for Today’s Church:

The contemporary Christian Church has often unknowingly adopted the centralized Babylonian system—complete with hierarchical control, consumerism, competition, and scarcity thinking.

Yet the biblical call remains clear:

Come out of Babylon:

Revelation 18:4 "Come out of her, my people, so that you will not participate in her sins…"

We are called to embrace Christ’s decentralized, abundant Kingdom model. This is precisely what God is restoring in these last days: a decentralized, grace-saturated Church built on Christ’s abundant provision, mutual love, and generous stewardship.
