THE FOOLS’ PARADISE

WORLD’S MYSTICAL THRONE OF FALSEHOOD – REVELATION 4-5

The universe is a counterfeit heaven for unrepentant evil spirits cast out from the Father’s true heavenly Paradise, while the human world is a fool’s paradise—a small hellhole within the larger universal Sheol.

The universe can be likened to a stranded emergency raft that has drifted far from the mothership into the vast, bottomless, stormy ocean. Its occupants are a rebellious, pleasure-seeking crew who lost their senses and their way, believing they could create a better life away from the safe, blissful mothership. The universe is a counterfeit heaven for unrepentant evil spirits cast out from the Father’s true heavenly Paradise. Meanwhile, the human world is a fool’s paradise—a small hellhole within the larger universal Sheol.

       Unaware they are lost and in terminal danger, the stranded evil spirits in the world scorn the heavenly Father’s gracious rescue plan. Those who falsely claim to be gods revel in vain glory while dominating ignorant humans caught in spiritual limbo. Both these so-called gods and their captives are deluded and self-destructive, chasing illusions. Instead of showing genuine repentance and seeking outright redemption from Sheol, they are preoccupied with intrigues over who will become the supreme captain of the collapsing, rickety world. This behavior highlights the utmost ignorance.

YHWH IS KING OF OUR ANIMAL WORLD – REVELATION 4:6-8

The so-called gods represent utter futility, with the most ignorant among them being the loudest. Seeking to be acknowledged as the sole “God Almighty” by ignorant humans, the most audacious and arrogant one claims to be the sole creator and owner of the universe and everything in it. He not only rejects the Father’s gracious offer of spiritual rebirth for himself but also vows to compel others to share in this eternal doom. Ignorance is the right name for such a person who knowingly chooses death over life.

YHWH IS MAN OF WAR – EXODUS 15:3

Reliant on lies, religious propaganda, and violence as ultimate weapons of conquest, the notorious evil spirit has successfully turned the entire human world into a living hell for himself, his accomplices, and those who bravely say no to his madness. Yet he currently seems to hold the entire human world in his palm, with great multitudes of beguiled followers. Those who surrender unconditionally to his selfish evil will are brainwashed into willingly sacrificing their own lives and terrorizing others to proclaim him “Lord, King, and God” over all unsuspecting peoples, in return for a place in a paradise that does not exist anywhere in the universe.

MEANINGLESSNESS: SYMPTONS OF RELIGION WITHOUT REASON

The Jewish people refer to the haughty man of war as “YHWH,” while traditional Christians honor him as “Jehovah,” and Muslims call him “Allah.” He goes by various other names that obscure his true nature and intentions. The Quran states, “His are the most beautiful names,” and the Hadith by Bukhari says, “Allah has ninety-nine names, i.e., one-hundred minus one, and whoever knows them will go to Paradise.” [Quran 17:110; https://www.islamic-relief.org.uk/resources/knowledge-base/99-names-of-allah/]

“Allah has ninety-nine names, i.e., one-hundred minus one, and whoever knows them will go to Paradise.”

Well, the Bible states clearly that everything done in the human world is ultimately meaningless—“completely meaningless!” Therefore, despite those beautiful names, Jehovah/Allah is like the Rich Fool in Christ’s parable. He strives to possess the whole world, only to end up in eternal perdition. Jesus Christ questions Jehovah/Allah, his evil accomplices, and all who reject spiritual rebirth in fellowship with him, asking: “What does it profit a man, to gain the whole world and lose his soul?” [Mark 8:36]
