Thank you for your response.
What I am going to share with you is as difficult to explain as it is to receive, but I have prayed for an answer for you and I believe that I have heard from the Lord Jesus Christ.
The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy:
Revelation 19:10 - And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
John 16:13 - Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
Not taking anything away from the scriptures, because we KNOW that ALL scripture is divinely given to us by God and is profitable for doctrine but at the same time "all the truth in the world cannot be contained in one book". Please understand this.
This was one of the main purposes for the gift of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit will lead you and guide you into ALL truth. Although EVERYTHING in the bible is TRUE, it is not the ONLY source of truth. Please hear me:
History is TRUE, however the bible only gives us a portion of history. All the history that transpired after the bible was written is TRUE. So the Holy Spirit will lead us and guide us into ALL truth. He will show us what is true in the scriptures and he will show us what is true in our history, our future and in the world.
Because the bible does not address every single issue on the planet, we need the Holy Spirit to reveal to us the heart and the mind of God:
1 Corinthians 2:11-12 - For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
Now, nothing that the Holy Spirit reveals to us apart from the scripture will ever conflict with the truth of God's word, it will always harmonize with the spirit of the letter. Hereby we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.
Now, regarding Atlantis. There are some similarities, in the bible that relate to Atlantean times which leads us to believe that there are some truths to the legends that exist. Such as the existence of Leviathan (which is in the bible), as well as the false god's such as Athena, not to mention the Deluge.
So historically we can say that it is possible, although it has been called a legend by man, that a place called Atlantis may have existed. Is there biblical evidence that harmonizes with these possibilities? Yes, I have named them.
Now, if any of these ideas are true or TRUTH, is it not possible that the Holy Spirit would lead us to that truth. Please hear me:
There is a very, and I mean very, important reason why the Spirit of Truth is leading his people to be aware of Atlantis, because that place did truly exist in some regard. Not only did it exist, but it has a spirit. The spirit of Atlantis. Although Atlanis is more than likely barried beneath the sea, along with the ancient world that existed before the time of the flood, that spirit is still ever present.
That spirit is slowly, quietly, discreetly, and seductively wooing mankind back to Atlantean times. A time where man was God. A time where man possessed supernatural power and knowledge apart from God that ascended straight from the pits of hell.
Not only does that spirit wish to lure us back to the practice of majic and mind over matter but I believe it will ultimately be the world religion of the beast during the Great Tribulation period.
This is why the Spirit of Truth is so necessary. We need the Spririt to lead us and guide us because yes, there are many deceivers in the world and believe me they are very seductive. This false religion will be so powerful and so deceptive it could possibly fool the very elect. One of the reasons being that we don't have a clear knowledge of our history. History has been hidden. History is always destined to repeat itself. Even the scriptures tells us there is nothing new under the sun:
Ecclesiastes 1:9 - The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
Regarding the fact that the bible doesn't clearly spell out the existence of Atlantis, and the fact that we should not therefore be conscious of it, really goes without addressing but I feel led of the Lord to address it because there is also great misunderstanding about things of this nature in the church.
Basically, in ministry today, we have an order. The pastor picks a passage out of the bible and he will teach or preach a sermon based on that scripture. However, this is not the only biblical example.
Prophets spoke as it was directly "revealed" to them from the Lord as they were moved by the Spirit of God, not always based on some biblical text. Now, you had to qualify what they said as to whether what they said came to pass or not or whether it harmonized with the truth of God's word.
Even the apostles preached this way. To what scripture was Jude referring when he gave this message?:
Jude 1:14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, 15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him. 16 These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage.
This is not referring to a passage in the bible. Nowhere in the bible did it say that Enoch ever prophesied. So where did Jude get this information. I'm telling you that he got it by revelation from the Holy Spirit of truth or from literature apart from the bible as we know it today.
So there are many revelations in the bible that were not based on previously mentioned scriptures.
Nearly the whole book of Revelation was given to John by Divine revelation and has very little reference to other passages in the bible. Are we saying that God has changed and he no longer reveals truth to his servants? We must be very careful about these matters.
Please, pray about the things I have written before you are quick to judge or dismiss them. I truly love the Lord Jesus and seek only to please him and to do my part in the body of Christ to help prepare a people ready for the coming of the Lord by using the gift that he gave me. I am only doing the things and preaching the truths that he is giving me to preach. Most of all, if nothing else just take note of the things I say, if Atlantis did not exist, and its teachings don't return to this earth, what have you lost, and I will be convinced as a false prophet.
May the Lord add a blessing to the reading and the hearing of his word. Amen.
