I have spent many hours looking for the “lion shall lay down
with the lamb” in Isaiah 11:6. So far, I
have searched in every physical Bible in my house and car. We have at least 10
paper Bibles (don’t be impressed; I am married to a minister, and I’ve checked
every one of them. There’s no “lion and lamb.” I even looked at the Bible phone
apps. No “lion and lamb” could be found. I’ve looked at PDFs of the Bible
online also. The “lion and the lamb” continues to elude me.
A few days ago, I had what I thought was a good idea: check
audio versions of the Bible online. I
found a company online that sells audio files of narrated Bibles, and I got
excited. I thought, “Ah ha. I got you, Satan. I can prove that the scripture
said, ‘the lion and the lamb.” I called the company that sells the narrated
Bible. Before I placed an order, I asked the customer service person to read
Isaiah 11:6 to me. After she said, “the wolf,” I stopped listening; I was
heartbroken. She had no idea that the scripture should say, “the lion and the
lamb,” and I thought, “Wow.” I was saddened because she had no idea that
anything was different, yet her company sold Bibles.
A few days ago, I Goggled “the lion and the lamb,” The top listing
under Google’s All category said “the lion shall lie down with the lamb is one
of the most misquoted sayings. Wow! Then, I looked at Google pictures of the
lion and the lamb. There were many pictures of the lion and the lamb, but the
words on the artwork said, “the wolf shall dwell with the lamb.” I looked
further down the page at more artwork, and what I saw shocked me. Someone
posted a text picture that says, ‘the lion and the lamb exists only in artwork.’ Other rude comments were displayed on other
pictures.
I have repented to
God for not having devoted more time to Bible study, over the years. Now that I
reflect on this Mandela Effect thing, I realize that a thousand years of Bible
study would not be enough time. I wish I could turn the clock back and turn the
calendar back.
Here is the ironic thing; since June 17, 2016, I have spent
an incredible amount of time in Bible study. I know what God has hidden in my
heart, and I match my memories with what the Bible now says.
Isaiah 11:6 must
have been one of the first Bible scriptures to be changed; I suspect that is the
reason for the cockiness and mockery on the part of the people (CERN) who used
quantum physics in their experiments and have altered the printed and digital
Bible. Actually, the folks behind the Mandela Effect altered every physical,
digital, and audio version of the Bible and Bible commentary. The King James
Version of the Bibles seems to have more changes than the other versions right
now. These people didn’t bother to change artwork or songs. Part of the goal
seems to be to play games with people’s minds and create division among Christians.
About a week ago, a shill mocked viewers during a YouTube
Mandela Effect discussion. The comment was something along the lines of “You ‘Mandelas’
are undergoing mental gymnastics.” Right then I didn’t want to admit that the
comment was true. This Mandela Effect can become all consuming.
When I fell
down this rabbit hole, I had encountered couple of people who said I must have
mis-remembered. Christians have said that their Bible could not, would not ever
change. I set out to show that the printed Word had indeed changed. Along the
way, I discovered quite a lot of information about who, what, when, where, how,
and why of this phenomenon. Unfortunately, I have been able to answer most of
those questions completely. For my sake, I do mean unfortunately.
To get those questions answered, I had to stare directly
into all aspects of the darkness caused by the Dark One. Remember how Moses’s
face was so bright after he met with God, he had to cover over his face? Well,
imagine continually look into the darkness, to understand the mind of the Enemy.
I believe that God had me and others research answers to the hard questions so
we can help rescue people who are headed for Hell. God told me that He wanted
me to write, so I continue to write what I learn.
This Mandela thing has worn me out physically, mentally, and
emotionally. I work full time, and then I go home to research information that
God leads me to. I miss sleeping my usual eight hours and “sleeping in” a bit
later on weekends.
The Bible says that the joy of the Lord gives me strength.
My happiness is in knowing that God’s promises are still true. That knowledge gives
me strength to keep going another day. I am spiritually strong, though. I had
major, major concerns during the first couple of weeks after I was affected by
the Effect. However, God guards my mind as I look into the darkness, as I try
to keep others from feeling the darkness.
While on this journey, I’ve begun to comprehend the
difference between words on paper that were inspired by God and the true Word,
Jesus Christ. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and
the Word was God. … The Word dwelt among
us …” Jesus was the One who dwelt among men. When He died, He sent the Holy
Spirit, our Comforter. The written Word was later put on paper as God’s love
letter to the Church, as a way of directing us to Him.
When I read about the End Times, I always expected that the
Bible would eventually be taken out of our hands. The Mandela Effect is worse
than that; physical and digital versions of the Bible are being altered on a
quantum level as we hold the Bibles, as they lay on tables and bookshelves. The
reason I say this is worse is most people have no idea that anything is
different. CERN is experimenting with the quark which is the smallest part of
an atom. They are experimenting with what is even smaller than the smallest
unit (With quantum physics, even that
is possible.).
The scientists are working around the clock. Because people
can see their Bibles, many Christians have stuck their heads in the sand
regarding the Mandela Effect. I asked a minster (I’ll call the minister Rev. Pat.)
to fill in the blanks on some commonly-known scriptures. I also asked the
minister what God hid in his/her heart about those scriptures. I compared my
answers to Pat’s answers. It turned out that the Lord had hidden the same
things on Pat’s heart as He had in my heart. Rev. Pat then pulled out a Bible
dictionary. The minister proceeded to attempt to explain that the meanings of
the words on some of the scriptures were the same as what he/she remembered, so
the Bible had not changed. Wow! Now, that
takes mental gymnastics. I wonder why Pat didn’t just use his KJV.
Maybe the denial of the Effect stems from an inability to
understand how such as thing could be accomplished. Maybe the denial stems from
an inability to truly comprehend something so evil. Either way, I have come to
believe that it’s easier for a non-Christian to accept the Effect. I have come
to believe that we Christians can be very narrow minded; we tend to reject
anything that is remotely outside of our sphere of interest. This
Quantum/Mandela (whatever you call it) is out of this world.
Christians’
interests tend to revolve around getting more people in the pew. We tend not to
focus on a true change of heart in ourselves or those who sit on the pews. Too often, we Christians become a cliquish group of hypocritical
Pharisees and Sadducees. We Christians can sometimes act like we’re holier than
Christ Himself, yet we gossip and lie on one another.
We tend to not listen to those who are hurting or work to
genuinely help those individuals. Too many Christians only wait for a break in an
unsaved person’s conversation so that we can persuade that person to join us on
the church pew. Do we really see them? Do we really hear them?
I wish we Christians
could focus more on helping others to know the voice, nature, and will of God. That
way, each of us will be able to know when God’s Word doesn’t match the written
Word. Jesus came from heaven, taught the disciples and others, and died so that
everyone could have a relationship with Him.
Don’t get me wrong. I know that there is a real need for having
a gathering place, for the assembly of the brethren. However, in this time in
history, we must know Him and help others come to know Him.
I want the Body of Christ to listen more, instead of just
talking at people. Then, both the speakers and the listeners benefit. When
dialog ensues, we learn from each other.
I do love my brothers and sisters in Christ. We've got to do better, though. This admonishments is out of love. Jesus is love; we must show love. One of these days, we will have to stand before the Father and give an account of the deeds done in our bodies.
Finally, sometimes, we must forsake ourselves and what makes us
comfortable. We must come out of the spiritual comas. Too many us are plugged
into the matrix, allowing the news media to tell us what is important and what
to think. It’s time to wake up.
