The bookSUICIDE & SELF DEFENSE
7 of 11

Oh my God, I cry in the day time, but thou

hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent. But thou art holy , O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel . Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them. They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded . But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people. All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying, He trusted on the L ORD that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him. But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother's breasts. I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother's belly. Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help. Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round. They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion. I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels. My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death. For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet. I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me. They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture. But be not thou far from me, O L ORD : O my strength, haste thee to help me. Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog. Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns. I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee. Ye that fear the L ORD , praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel. For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard. My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him. The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the L ORD that seek him: your heart shall live forever. ! All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the L ORD : and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee. For the kingdom is the L ORD 's: and he is the governor among the nations. All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul. A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation. They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this. Psalm 22 :1-22 (1100 BC)

Jesus the Righteous who offers us an ETERNAL SALVATION walked with sinners for thirty-three years. To be sinless in a world of sin became grueling for Him. Imagine, what it means to be the only RIGHTEOUS in an unrighteous world. Jesus is the SALVATION of the born-again people who are true Christians. While his followers were unable to chase a demon, Jesus exclaims:

Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me.

(Matthew 17 :17)

Jesus was eager to return to the FATHER in his holy world. Jesus knew exactly where and when he will die. The question that would be asked that would seal his declaration of death was to come from the high priest.

But Jesus remained silent and gave no answer. Again the high priest asked him, “Are you the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed One?”

“I am” said Jesus. “And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven”.

Mark 14 :61-62

Jesus was perfectly aware that in answering this question he had just signed his death warrant. He answered the TRUTH. His SACRIFICE AT THE CROSS opens the KINGDOM OF HEAVEN to all those who accept SALVATION.

It was agreed from the beginning by the FATHER that this sacrifice would justify ALL THOSE WHO WOULD PASS THROUGH HIS SON.

The certainty that Jesus was the CHRIST, THE SAVIOR OF THE WORLD pushed some apostles like Peter, Paul and James, to give their life to dispense the good news to men. In this sense, their decisions about the world can be interpreted as an act of voluntary love justifying their ministries.

In this wise, the Jewish religion during the days of Jesus punished with death anyone who claimed to be the CHRIST. By paying attention to the Sanhedrin instead of the Bible, people missed SALVATION. Today, when the rapture of the church of God from this earth will occur, the Catholic Church with its pope will play the same role that the Sanhedrin played in the days of Jesus. People do not read the Word of God but prefer to give themselves to religion which through the dogmas that it uses to control the naive conceals SALVATION BY GRACE, being the only way to make heaven. In their desire to have control over everything, men try to place themselves above the Word of God, the Holy Bible. In the days of Jesus, the Sanhedrin did so through the Jewish religion and today the Catholic Church which claims to be the only apostolic church is doing same. However, the Bible at the beginning of the book of Revelation judges the seven different churches. The Roman Catholic Church has the worst judgment. It is even referred to as the harlot, for it shall accompany the antichrist just as it accompanied Hitler for money.

There are two (2) different eternities after death: the Kingdom of Heaven and Hell. In my book: ‘What every man should know before dying’ which can be downloaded free of charge on the web site www.denisboivin.org , I describe the two conditions of men in the two eternities. I do not wish that anyone should go to hell. But unfortunately, that shall be the fate of about 95 to 98 percent of the world population generation by generation. The main reason being the lack of interest in the reading of the Word of God and the popular belief in the different religions including atheism on the planet. Only the DIVINITY of JESUS and SALVATION BY GRACE SAVES. In reality, the path leading to the Kingdom of Heaven is narrow.
