Q4 - Why not just reveal yourself?

Q4 – Why don’t you just appear to me and talk to me?  Why all the mystery?

Mostly it’s because God has commanded us not to reveal ourselves. 

- We are close to the Father and our knowledge of Him and His plans are true.  He doesn’t want us to reveal ourselves yet, because you as a world are not ready for the message we have to bring.  Let me put this another way.  The message God wants the world to have is already on the earth.  But it is brought to you by the weak things of the world, so that you will have to exercise faith in order to believe.  If WE bring the message to you, you will know for a certainty of it’s truth.  And that would be bad – for you. 

- It’s a little like why you don’t want to know the ending of a movie or a book before you finish it…discovery is half the fun.  If I made it clear by showing you myself and my technologies you would know and be held accountable by God for the way you use the knowledge you receive.  Why’s that a problem?  Well, because you’re held accountable for all the truth’s that you know.   For if we receive truth before we’re ready, then we are held accountable for things we may not be ready to live.  For example, if you know that you shouldn’t steal – but you do – you are more guilty (and cause more personal damage to yourself) than one who never knew. That’s why Christ taught in Parables.  For some they were just interesting stories.  For others they were deep theological metaphors of life saving doctrine.

- That’s why God builds testimonies in people line upon line… not too much – they must learn to walk before they can run.  They must learn arithmetic before they learn Calculus.  Actually, that’s why time was invented.  A sequential passing of moments experienced one at a time – one moment only giving a hint of what the next moment might bring.  Now, if I were to carelessly reveal myself to you – you would be held accountable for that knowledge.  And at that point, you can’t make mistakes...without serious consequences.  Sometimes the consequences of sinning against pure knowledge is so sever, that there is no recovery.  So by living by faith, you are able to grow into knowledge, so that when you attain it, you are ready for the consequences.

 

I think another reason that God doesn’t like us to reveal ourselves, is because he knows the weak human mind will gravitate to the mystery of HE Insiders and the afterlife, instead of the message he sends to us through his Prophets.  In other words, he knows that people will focus more on the messenger than the message.
