Gosh!

I have found a verse in the bible that says God created evil. As many times as I

have read the bible I do not ever remember reading that verse. This is it: " I

form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord

do all these things. " Isaiah 45:7.

Wow! I don't know what to think now.

A few verses up from it is cool one. Isaiah 45:3 - And I will give thee the

treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know

that I, the LORD, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.

Hmmm... I look at the word Israel there as a symbol meaning the called out ones

(the church or bride of Christ), not the country that is called Israel.

A trip to the void/abyss doesn't sound such a scarey thing in the light of these

verses.

I found this verse on the same site where you can read online another one of

Jeanne Guyon's books. Her book on Revelations called, " Christ Our Revelation " .

@@@ When Jeanne Guyon wrote this book, it was 100 years before any clear ground

rules for approaching Revelation had been laid down. Consequently, she has a

very original view! Guyon saw Revelation as a record of the believer's soul and

what that soul must pass through to be transformed. All the beasts, dragons,

plagues etc. are forces that launch themselves against the truly pious

Christian-- that is, the Christian following what Guyon calls " the inward way. "

@@@

The other night I listened to the " Autobiography of Madame Guyon " and I am

really identifying with her on a lot of things.

I began reading this book of her's on Revelation tonight and it is so cool and

is how I have felt for many years now on how the book of Revelation should be

interpreted. Being a Preterist christian, I just don't see it as some future

prophecy of worldly events to come.

All you christians on the group I would recommend you take a look at this one.

Blessings & love,

linda
