The "Right Hand" and "Left Hand"
By Mahlon Wickey November, 2013
Our government was originally formed by men that simply wanted FREEDOM from the tyranny and oppression of religion. But there were NO republicans and democrats involved in the political process of this religious freedom, and the political terms, "right" and "left" were unheard of at that time. So where did the political terms, "right" and "left" come from, and WHY are they used so often in modern day politics? I want to say, it is NOT a coincidence that the terms "right" and "left" are used today as political terms that determines WHO will be elected in our form of government.
This article will address WHY American people are INSPIRED to have the thinking process of being republicans OR democrats, and also conservatives OR liberals. The terms, "right hand", "left hand", or simply the term, "the left" are found many times in our KJ Bibles. As we shall see, it does NOT take theological "rocket science" to know that in the vast majority of times the terms, "right hand" and "left hand" are NOT talking about right and left HANDS attached to our physical bodies!
In today’s world the most popular Bible is the King James Bible, but it is generally IGNORED that the KJ Bible could be called an instruction manual and history lesson on human GOVERNMENT! God was the KING of the ancient nation of Israel, and Israel was set up by God to be a "light" and an example to the "gentile" nations at that time. Most people that seriously read their Bibles are aware that the people of Israel DEMANDED that God give them human KINGS to rule over them in the manner as other human kings of "gentile" nations at that time.
The people of Israel were never spiritually "converted" to the RIGHT ways of God; which is why they were INSPIRED to reject God as their KING. God honored Israel and gave them human kings, and IF a king ruled in the "fear of God" then Israel would be blessed, but IF a king was wicked and did NOT rule in the "fear of God" then Israel would be CURSED. This is the history of the nation of Israel during the old covenant, but today it would be unthinkable for the American people to elect politicians on the BASIS that they govern in the "fear of God".
Today in our deceived nation it is also unthinkable that just maybe our founding fathers wanted to BUILD our nation on the premise of HONORING a covenant promised to Abraham and to his SEED after him that was to BLESS all families of the earth (Gen 28:14). Just maybe our founding fathers wanted to set up a form of government at the BIRTH of our nation that they KNEW would cause the destiny of our nation to eventually be a BLESSING to the whole world. There has never been in the history of this world a nation that was founded and BUILT on human FREEDOM and LIBERTY as our beloved nation was!
Former president Ronald Regan (and others) KNEW that the goodness and greatness of our nation was to be a "city on a hill" as a "light" and an example to other nations. Ancient Israel was to ALSO to be a "city on a hill" as a "light" and an example to other nations, but Ronald Regan knew it would NOT be wise for him to compare the greatness of our nation with the greatness of ancient Israel. Maybe this "silence" on ancient Israel was because Ronald Regan knew that the "God’s chosen people" theory and Christian "template" had to be UPHELD!
True history confirms that certain men RISKED their lives and fortunes to establish our nation on a REBELLION from a human KING! These certain men that had the "nerve" to set up our government in rebellion against the king of England truly SUFFERED in death, and in the loss of property and FAMILIES! In their minds "something" told them that it was well worth it to risk their lives and fortunes for rebelling against a human king, and to FIGHT for their independence from this human king and his "religious" tyrannical and oppressive government!
In order for human government to maintain its POWER over people it MUST suppress and control the "will of the people". This is the TRUE behavior of corrupt human government! Our founding fathers understood this principle very well; which is WHY they drafted and signed certain documents to guarantee the people of our nation the freedom and liberty FROM the TRUE Behavior of corrupt human government! It was this unrestrained human freedom and liberty that built our nation into the greatest, most powerful, most prosperous, and most blessed nation that this world has ever known!
It was the American SPIRIT of individual (yes, individual) freedom and liberty in the hearts of millions of people in our great nation that BUILT our nation to be the ENVY of the world! In God’s divine time schedule this American SPIRIT brought the age of technology, inventions, and industry that the rest of the world generally COPIED from that indeed BLESSED the world! It is NOT a coincidence that the American SPIRIT in the hearts of the American people INSPIRES them to have the uncanny ability to always improve on their standard of living.
It was the SPIRIT of goodness in the hearts of the American people who exercised their freedom and liberty to produce the wealth and prosperity that was SHARED many times with other nations in distress. It was this goodness of the American SPIRIT that built hospitals and colleges that "trained" doctors to "fight" and to find a "cure" for sickness and disease. But for many years the goodness of our nation has been corrupted, and our medical establishments are now sustained by the "practice" of medicine and the "drug industry" that has skillfully deceived most American people to be dependent on hospitals and the "god" of doctors generally dressed in WHITE!
Of course, hospitals and doctors are needed in many health situations, but WHY do so many American people "run" to the doctors for ANY minor illness or health issue? Yes, our medical "industries" are very skilled in promoting the NEED for their "health" products through FALSE advertising on TV. It is this ignorance and deception that creates dependency on our "health industry", and it is now one sixth of our entire economy!
Our corrupted "goodness" has reached to the point that it is now believed it is our RIGHT to have the "care" of our health to be PAID for by our government. But money does NOT directly come from our government! It can only "legally" TAKE "other people’s money" to PAY for what is called "Obamacare", which is now the LAW that will "rescue" our people from "greedy" health insurance companies! But this incredible shameful LAW is NOT about the CARE of our health! It is simply a bold, deliberate, and blatant attempt to legislate into LAW the POWER to control the lives of our people! It is the most HARMFUL political deception and political "joke" in the history of our nation!
It is also the worst type of deception, hoax, fraud, plot, and scam that was ever "invented" in the history of our government! It HAD to be "legally" set up to be disguised as so-called "health care" since health is a major concern of the American people. But to put it plain and simple, "Obamacare" is "legal" extortion that "knows no limits" simply because it HAS to be an "all expenses paid" TRIP to "fantasy land", and it is indeed FANTASY that our government is even qualified to be in the "health care" business! And we are supposed to believe that these evil self-serving politicians that wrote this shameful LAW truly CARE about the health of our people!
But we are always told by the liberal democrats on the LEFT that "Obamacare" is now the "law of the land" so we had better accept it and get used to it! No, the constitution of the United States is the supreme law of the land, and "Obamacare" is NOT in line with the TRUE intention of our constitution! As we shall see, "Obamacare" and other shameful laws will EXPOSE for all that WANT to understand the TRUE political AGENDA of the liberal democratic SPIRIT on the LEFT!
Certain other things that affect our daily lives are also corrupted that were originally founded in the goodness of our nation and the RIGHT ways of God. Our nation has become very sinful, very immoral, very corrupt, and yes, very STUPID, simply because our nation, our courts, and our political system has departed from the RIGHT ways of God, and departed from the RIGHT principles of Godly human government!
The SPIRIT of goodness of our political system is also corrupted that was originally set up to serve (yes, SERVE) in the BEST interests of the American people. Our political system has become a political "machine" of deception and deceit, and when people are elected to serve in our government come to Washington they are generally "overwhelmed" by the SPIRIT of Washington, and "strangely" they no longer are interested to serve in the BEST interests of the American people. But there are a few sincere people elected in our government that are able to RESIST the SPIRIT of Washington, but their "voices" are generally "drowned out" to be ineffective by the "voices" of the liberal democratic SPIRIT on the LEFT.
It is NOT a coincidence that the American people are INSPIRED to think in terms of "right" or "left", and "conservative" or "liberal" that will determine their preference in the type of politicians that they want to VOTE for to serve in our form of government. But as we know, the terms, "far", or "radical", or "ultra", or "extreme" could be attached to "right" or "left", and also to "conservative" or "liberal".
It is also NOT a coincidence that our form of government are TWO political "forces" known as the republican and democratic parties. There is a republican SPIRIT (known as the "right"), and there is a democratic SPIRIT (known as the "left"), and for some "mysterious" reason these two SPIRITS become very "active" at election time in the thinking process of voting people, and those campaigning and running for public offices to serve in our form of government.
The term, "democracy" is defined by a Google search as the "practice or SPIRIT of social equality". What is known as "social equality" that is ENFORCED by LAW on our people is what the liberal democratic SPIRIT on the LEFT is all about! The SPIRIT of "social equality" INSPIRES the Liberal LEFT to make everyone "socially equal" for the common "good" of everyone.
The term, "equality" is defined as; "the state of being equal, especially in status, rights, or opportunities". Of course, "social equality" sounds "good" to unsuspecting American voters, but as we shall see; to achieve EQUAL status, rights, and opportunities for everyone is politically IMPOSSIBLE! This is WHY liberal democrats on the LEFT are UNABLE to "govern" with common sense, since they are INSPIRED to IGNORE what is TRULY the common GOOD of everyone!
For instance, liberal democrats on the LEFT would LOVE to BAN guns and make guns ILLEGAL for the common "good" of everyone. It would then be UNLAWFUL to protect yourself with a GUN from the many LAW-LESS criminals; which "mysteriously" would make America "safe"! This is absolute insanity of the liberal LEFT!
Our Declaration of Independence states that; "all men are created EQUAL", which is NOT entirely accurate! Sure, all men are created "equal" in the sense that all men "are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights"; which clarifies what our Declaration MEANT by all men being created "equal".
All men are NOT created "equal" in the SENSE of having the SAME qualities, talents, wisdom, values, and ambitions. ALL men are created DIFFERENT with unique qualities that are NOT designed to be EQUAL for everyone, but are designed as different UNIQUE "marks" of ownership by the CREATOR! Yes, the Creator God is sovereign (in total authority and power), therefore OWNS and CARES for and is responsible for ALL men!
When so-called "social equality" is attempted by legislation signed into LAW by evil politicians with "good intentions" then this causes confusion, disorder, and ANGER! This is because man was created to naturally ENJOY the "fruits" of his OWN labor, but man must have the freedom and liberty to do that! God created in man the SPIRIT of being rewarded for his OWN efforts in achieving his OWN goals. But if (yes, IF) man is FORCED by the "legal" law of taxation to share (yes, SHARE) the reward of his OWN wealth that he has achieved by his OWN efforts then man is left unfulfilled, frustrated, and angry.
But the SPIRIT of fulfillment can come IF man sees a NEED to share his wealth and is INSPIRED to give FREELY (NOT BY LAW) to those TRULY in NEED. The poor are ALWAYS among us (Matt 26:11), but those that have PLENTY will be INSPIRED by God to HELP the poor and less fortunate that TRULY are in need. But the liberal democratic SPIRIT on the LEFT inspires evil politicians to make LAWS to make it "fair" and it is "justice" to SHARE and "distribute the wealth" (where have we heard that phrase before?). After all, it is the "goodness" of the liberal democratic SPIRIT on the LEFT that wants the less fortunate to equally benefit as the fortunate. But if wealth is "distributed", then BOTH the fortunate and less fortunate will LOSE their incentive to prosper and this will seriously HARM productivity!
For a nation to prosper and have wealth it MUST produce services and "things" that people want and need, and the American people with the SPIRIT of freedom and liberty have the uncanny ability to CREATE these services, wants, and needs; which CREATES more wealth and prosperity! But a nation that is RESTRICTED by government "regulations" in producing its wealth and prosperity is a nation that will eventually LOSE its desire and will to PROSPER!
It is said that our nation has 90 million people that are out of work! True wealth and prosperity MUST be created and produced by working people, and 90 million unemployed people are NOT producing wealth and prosperity! The SPIRIT of "social equality" INSPIRES liberal democrats on the LEFT to make LAWS designed to make ALL unemployed people to be dependent on our "beloved" government to "sustain" them. But millions of unemployed people seem to be sustained very well, and they seem to have enough food, and they seem to have all the comforts and entertainment that everyone else enjoys. The SPIRIT of "social equality" on the LEFT would like the living standards of these "unfortunate" people to be EQUAL with the living standards of "fortunate" people.
The term, "republic government" is defined by a Google search as follows; "a form of government in which power is explicitly vested in the people, who in turn exercise their power through elected representatives." It is also defined as a "public matter"; hence the term, "re-PUBLIC". The point is; a republic is NOT a form of government that is kept SECRET from the people, but is OPEN to the general PUBLIC to be controlled by the people!
This is HOW and WHY our government was founded as a "public matter" with the premise; "we the people", and this republic was founded as Abraham Lincoln explained; "a government OF the people, FOR the people, and BY the people". Our nation was founded as a republic; it is NOT a democracy as we are constantly being told by our "informed" news media, and by our "informed" politicians elected in our form of government.
It is generally known that Abraham Lincoln founded the Republican Party, because he believed the power of government HAS to come FROM the people! Yes, Abraham Lincoln believed that the people were very able to govern THEMSELVES, but it was NOT a situation in which "every man did what was right in his own eyes" as when Israel had NO king, as explained in Judges 17:6 and 21:25. Yes, there were times when the people of Israel had NO ruling king to "govern" them, but Abraham Lincoln believed that the people WERE the government (as did our founding fathers), but the people HAD to have the freedom and liberty to form a government that represented them.
The POWER was with the people by a VOTING system that was OF the people, FOR the people, and BY the people to VOTE who they wanted to represent them in government so that they could truly exercise their unalienable RIGHTS that among these RIGHTS were LIFE, LIBERTY, and the pursuit of happiness.
This voting system is NOT a "mob rule", since the term, "mob" means a large disorderly crowd. But it is NOT "disorderly" for the people to VOTE who they want to represent them to make SURE by a written constitution that their freedom and liberty is protected from possible tyranny and oppression from their OWN government! People that did NOT vote with the majority STILL had their unalienable RIGHTS (given by God), and they also STILL had the freedom and liberty from a corrupt human government. It is NOT a "mob rule"! It is simply a republican SPIRIT with a political point of view in a human government that represents the majority of voting people.
But the Republican Party that we have today has long since departed from what Abraham Lincoln had in mind, and Lincoln would NOT even recognize the Republican Party in what it has become in modern politics! Our nation has come a "long way" to "modernize" how our government "should" work, but it is a major departure from HOW our government was FOUNDED.
The modern republican SPIRIT and the modern democratic SPIRIT seem to be constantly in a political "struggle" and in a political "war" to determine which SPIRIT has the POWER to suppress and control the will of the people! Please understand; it only SEEMS that there is a political "struggle" and a "war" between the RIGHT and the LEFT, which is why evil politicians will deliberately LIE to our people in order to keep this imaginary political "struggle" and "war" ALIVE and REAL!
But millions of American people are able to "see through" this political deception, which started what is known as the "tea party" movement to be a political FORCE in modern politics. This is why people like Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, Sarah Palin (and others) are generally IGNORED by the "established" politicians in our form of government.
The "tea party" people are very concerned about the FUTURE of their children, and the form of government that their children might be FORCED to live under. For this CONCERN for the future of their children the "tea party" people are "strangely" the most HATED people in politics by the LEFT, but also by some on the RIGHT! They have been called racists, religious bigots, and "dangerous" people (and other "labels") that are a real threat to our "beloved" government!
Sarah Palin suddenly appeared in the political spotlight, as we all know, and was instantly made fun of, ridiculed, insulted, and vehemently hated and attacked! What is it about this woman that liberal democrats on the LEFT are INSPIRED to vehemently ATTACK and smear this woman and to ridicule her CHILDREN? What kind of political insanity is this?
It is very "strange" that the PERSON of Sarah Palin is vehemently hated and attacked, but her political common sense ideas are generally NOT argued or disputed simply because the liberal LEFT knows that her political ideas would be GOOD for our nation, and they also KNOW that many millions of Americans AGREE with her. So all that the liberal LEFT can do is resort to the childish immature behavior of attacking the messenger instead of the message!
There is a reason WHY this woman had an 80% favorability rating as the governor of Alaska! Sarah Palin simply has the TRUE American SPIRIT with a TRUE love for human freedom and liberty, and she only wants to follow our constitution. What is wrong with that? She truly LOVES America, but she is very saddened (as also are millions of other Americans) in what our beloved America has BECOME! Because of her CONCERN for the future of America she is the MOST hated woman in politics; NOT ONLY by the liberal democratic SPIRIT on the LEFT, but also by some of the republican SPIRIT on the RIGHT!
She also believes in the second amendment in owning guns, and she loves to hunt for wild animals to be used for FOOD. Oh yes, she also happens to LOVE Jesus, and she also believes that there is something tragically WRONG in killing babies in the womb. But the liberal democratic SPIRIT on the LEFT thinks it is very cruel to say, "killing babies in the womb"! It is much more PROPER to say, "terminate a pregnancy", or to say, "abort a fetus", but to really be PROPER the liberal democratic SPIRIT on the LEFT has managed to make it acceptable to call this medical procedure simply as "abortion".
Most historians will agree that Andrew Jackson was the first democratic president. Yes, as a democrat, Andrew Jackson no doubt believed in "social equality", but he did NOT believe that our government should make LAWS to enforce this "social equality" on the American people! Again, as Abraham Lincoln would NOT recognize the Republican Party as it is today, so also Andrew Jackson would NOT recognize the Democratic Party as it is today. I dare say that even John F Kennedy (in the early 60s) would NOT recognize the Democratic Party as it is today!
The term, "liberal" is defined by a Google search as; "open to new behavior or opinions and willing to discard traditional values". The term, "conservative" is defined by a Google search as; "holding to traditional attitudes and values and cautious about change". Yes, there is a distinct difference in the "liberal" SPIRIT on the LEFT and the "conservative" SPIRIT on the RIGHT! To be "conservative" is simply to (con)serve and (pre)serve the traditional VALUES that built our nation into the greatest, most powerful, most blessed, and most prosperous nation the world has ever known! So what is wrong with being a "conservative"? That is a very good question in which the liberal democratic SPIRIT on the LEFT refuses to answer!
This finally brings us to WHY the KJ bible uses the terms, "right hand" and "left hand"; which as we shall see, are simply TWO political "points of view" (or political "directions") given to mankind by a sovereign God that INSPIRES these TWO political "directions" of human government. These right and left political "directions" also INSPIRES the political "struggle" and "war" we have today to determine the BEST "direction" our government should take to BEST "serve" (or should I say, suppress and control) the WILL of the American people!
It would be theological WISDOM to search ALL the scriptures that use the terms, "right hand" and "left hand", or simply the term, "the left", and to carefully STUDY on why and how these terms were biblically used. The term, "right hand" is found 167 times, but the term, "left hand" is found ONLY 28 times! Please understand; this biblical FACT means that there must be a divine purpose that the "right hand" is divinely FAVORED over the "left hand"! The term stated as "the left" is found 48 times.
The term, "right hand" (H3225) simply means the RIGHT "side" as the stronger and more dexterous. "Dexterous" is defined by a Google search as, "having mental skill". The term, "left hand" (H8040) means the idea of wrapping up (as enveloped), and properly means DARK, and can also be the LEFT "side". So what are the right and left SIDES, and "sides" of WHAT? It could be said that the right and left "sides" are from the CENTER of these TWO political "points of view"; which as we shall see, is neither the "right" or "left" political "directions".
As we all know, our physical HANDS "reach out" in daily activities, and also "hold" unto the things that we want and desire that BEST serves us. But we also know, it is MOSTLY the right hand (NOT the left hand) that "reaches out" to hold the things that are necessary in daily activities. Of course, there are "left handed" people, but there are far MORE "right handed" people. Therefore to be "right handed" shows a STRONGER "mental SKILL" in the "direction" the RIGHT are going, but to be "left handed" shows the DARK things that are "wrapped up" (as enveloped) to HIDE the "direction" the LEFT are going.
Notice what the following two scriptures are saying as a "double witness" showing that the CENTER is a very important political "point of view" of the BEST "direction" of human government….
2Kings 22:2 KJV And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, and walked in all the way of David his father, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left.
2Chronicles 34:2 KJV And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the ways of David his father, and declined neither to the right hand, nor to the left.
Biblical history shows that Solomon’s RULE over Israel was truly SUCCESSFUL in HOW human government should function to BEST serve the people. Solomon ruled as David instructed him, and led the nation of Israel in a certain "direction" that "turned NOT aside", and was NEITHER to the "right hand" nor to "the left" (hand). This "direction" was "independent" of BOTH the "right hand" and the "left" (hand), and was at the CENTER that served as a divine BALANCE in human government that "turned NOT aside", and was neither the "right" or "left" SIDES.
As we all know; besides the terms, "right" and "left" we ALSO have the terms, "independent" and "center" in modern day politics. But it is NOT a coincidence that these political terms, "independent" and "center" generally have NO POWER in modern day politics. But at the CENTER was the type of human government that David and Solomon led the nation of Israel. Therefore it is the BEST type of human government that BEST serves sinful mankind, simply because there are NO opposing "right" and "left" SPIRITS that "struggle" in a political "war" for the POWER to suppress and control the WILL of the people!
So the question would be; what is wrong with the point of view that goes in the political "direction" of the "right hand", since it is divinely FAVORED over the "left hand"? Keep in mind, we are talking about sinful human government, and exactly at the CENTER of the "right and left" SIDES is a divine balance that is BEST suited to serve and "govern" sinful mankind.
Sinful mankind "in Adam" INHERITED the knowledge of "good and evil" that INSPIRE the "good and evil" thoughts of sinful mankind to go in TWO "directions" in this life. The "right hand" tends to go in a "good" direction that is stronger with the mental SKILL of the political agenda on the RIGHT, and the "left hand" tends to go in an "evil" direction that will HIDE the DARK political agenda on the LEFT. This is WHY the proper way to "govern" these TWO good and evil "directions" is exactly at the CENTER that again, serves as a divine balance to NOT have the "right" and "left" SPIRITS (thoughts) in a political "struggle" and "war" that CANNOT properly "govern" sinful mankind.
This now brings us "up to date" in modern day politics. Ted Cruz seems to be the "lone" voice on the conservative RIGHT that is exposing the political deceptions of both (yes, BOTH) the republican and democratic SPIRITS (notice that I stress "spirits" instead of "parties"). As we know, Ted Cruz was INSPIRED by the "conservative" SPIRIT to give a twenty one hour speech in congress exposing the many evils and deceptions of "Obamacare", and also other evils and deceptions of our corrupt government. As we also know, Rand Paul was also INSPIRED by the "conservative" SPIRIT to also give a major long speech exposing more or less what Ted Cruz was exposing.
There seems to be only a very few "voices" on the conservative RIGHT that are being heard, but there are many millions of Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, and Sarah Palin "voices" in our beloved nation! These many millions of "voices" are generally NOT heard, but they are the ONLY HOPE for our beloved nation to make the RIGHT changes in our corrupt government to INSURE that our beloved nation can truly be the "city on a hill" as a "light", and an example to be the BLESSING that the whole world NEEDS!
It is said that only 10% of the population is generally NEEDED in a revolution to "overthrow" or change the political "direction" of a nation. I assure you that there are many more people than ONLY 10% in our beloved nation that are NOT deceived by the republican and democratic SPIRITS! But I believe these many millions of people that have the SPIRIT of a "silent" revolution will NOT "march" on Washington to DEMAND changes in our corrupt government.
But a revolution is needed to change the "direction" of our nation, but it will NOT be a revolution by FORCE with bloodshed and weapons of war. But a spiritual revolution could happen "overnight" if (yes, IF) a certain major tragic event would happen that would have the spiritual POWER to truly HUMBLE the majority of people in our nation. A spiritual revolution could overthrow the spiritual "direction" that our nation has TOWARD the TRUE God and His RIGHT ways! Many Believers will quote the scripture that states; "IF my people will HUMBLE themselves and REPENT of their wicked ways then I will forgive their sin and HEAL their land" (2Cron 7:14).
Please understand; a sovereign God (in total authority and power) has very effective ways and methods to HUMBLE the majority of people in our nation! If (yes, IF) a severe, tragic, and PAINFUL event would happen to our nation; then there could indeed be a spiritual revolution with the "silent" majority taking the LEAD in this type of revolution INSPIRED by the conservative SPIRIT on the RIGHT.
No one can predict the FUTURE of our beloved nation, but if (yes, IF) our beloved nation was indeed founded by God to be the BLESSING to the world, then "BY GOD" our beloved nation’s destiny will indeed BLESS the world, including a spiritual blessing to the world!
Keep in mind, it is "built into" the heart the ability to change "direction", but it simply takes the PROPER humility! It is the SPIRITS in the heart that must inspire the heart to CHANGE it’s thinking, and when a majority of hearts in our beloved nation are changed to TURN to God for ANSWERS, then this will indeed change the spiritual "direction" of our whole nation!
Notice this "revealing" scripture (among other "revealing" scriptures) of the terms, "right hand" and "left" (hand)….
Eccl 10:2. KJV A wise man's heart is at his right hand; but a fool's heart at his left.
The spiritual WISDOM of this scripture simply means that it is FAIR to say that the hearts of the conservative RIGHT and people like them are WISE. But the liberal democrats on the LEFT and people like them are FOOLS with foolish hearts! But the TRUE biblical purpose of the terms, "right hand" and "left hand" are from the words of Jesus Christ himself….
Matt 25:33 KJV And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
Matt 25:41 KJV Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
So who are the "sheep" that Christ sets on His RIGHT hand?....
John 10:27 KJV My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
Those that "hear" (pay close attention) to the "voice" (words) of Christ and follow Christ in the RIGHT "direction", then Christ will SET these people on His RIGHT hand. But the people that Christ sets on His LEFT hand are the "goats" that are CURSED into "everylasting fire". But "pay close attention" to the "voice" (words) of Christ in Matt 25:41 as explained in Rotherham….
Then, will he say unto those also, on his left hand: Depart ye from me, accursed ones! Into the age-abiding fire, which hath been prepared for the adversary and his messengers;
This "everlasting fire" (G166 and G165) is simply "age-abiding fire" (abides during an AGE); it is NOT a "fire" that lasts "forever", as generally taught by our modern churches! It could also be called a FEARFUL looking for of judgment and fiery "indignation" (wrath of God) spoken of in Hebrews 10:27….
KJV But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
It is also called a "furnace of fire" (Matt 13:42, 50) that causes "wailing and gnashing of teeth" (PAIN and RAGE). Yes, this mental TORMENT of severe PAIN and RAGE will be FELT by those cast into the "lake of fire" that will "consume" the carnal works of man since God is (yes, IS) a "consuming fire" (Deut 4:24, Deut 9:3, and Heb 12:29). The wrath of God (G3709) is simply God’s DESIRE to reach forth with violent PASSION! Yes, God will "reach forth" with violent PASSION by consuming the carnal works of mankind; which will then SAVE mankind! Please understand; the wrath of God is God’s DESIRE to SAVE, which is very different than the wrath of MAN!
The important point is; it is the "goat" people that Jesus Christ sets on His LEFT hand simply because they have hardened hearts that will REJECT God and the RIGHT ways of God IN THIS LIFE, and therefore will NOT be tormented with the PAIN and RAGE of "wailing and gnashing of teeth" IN THIS LIFE.
This symbolic "furnace of fire" could also be called the symbolic "Gehenna fire" that was mistranslated as "hell fire" (KJV Matt 5:22, 18:9, and Mark 9:47). There are only a select FEW souls IN THIS LIFE that are INSPIRED to have humble hearts of repentance that are being judged, chastised, and corrected by the symbolic "Gehenna fire" NOW during THIS evil world/AGE.
But the ACCURSED "goat" people on the LEFT hand of Christ will have a much more fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, and they will NOT escape the wrath (violent PASSION) of God during this "age-abiding fire" that was PREPARED for the "adversary" and his "messengers". It is the SPIRIT of the "adversary" (devil) and the SPIRITS of many evil "messengers" (angels) in the hearts of all mankind that are the spiritual adversaries (enemies) to all mankind!
But there is a certain judgment and fiery indignation (wrath, or violent passion of God) that abides during a certain AGE (age-abiding fire), and this "fire" is the wrath or violent passion of God that is prepared to fight and devour (yes, DEVOUR) these spiritual adversaries (enemies) to all mankind (Heb 10:27).
It is ONLY the accursed "goat" people on the LEFT hand of Christ that do NOT have humble and repentant hearts so as to ALLOW this "Gehenna fire" judgment to FIGHT and devour their spiritual adversaries DURING their physical lives. But generally the people on the RIGHT hand of Christ DO have humble hearts of repentance, and their spiritual adversaries are being devoured and consumed NOW by "Gehenna fire"! Yes, those on the RIGHT hand of Christ can ESCAPE the violent PASSION (wrath) of God!
This "age-abiding fire" (in a FUTURE age) will be much MORE a fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation for those on the LEFT hand of Christ. Carefully read the links, "Gehenna", "Satan", "Devils", and "Angels" on my web site that addresses these spiritual "adversaries" that all mankind is CURSED with for a divine PURPOSE!
Now I have to ask this very important question; what are the political (yes, POLITICAL) implications of being on the LEFT HAND of Christ? Please understand; it is NOT a coincidence that modern day liberal democrats are labeled as the LEFT! Yes, these liberal democrats on the LEFT with their MAD quest for POWER that want to ENFORCE by law their INSANE political agendas causes much HARM to the lives of millions of American people! These millions of American people are denied their God-given unalienable (cannot be denied) RIGHTS among are the RIGHTS of LIFE, LIBERTY, and the pursuit of happiness!
So yes, I will say it; I believe ALL liberal democrats on the LEFT will find themselves on the LEFT hand of Christ when they are resurrected, and they will all face a certain FEARFUL judgment of fiery indignation (Heb 10:27). But there is hope (yes, HOPE) for these very "unfortunate" liberal democrats on the LEFT! This fearful judgment and fiery indignation will DEVOUR (consume) the "adversaries" (harmful SPIRITS) in the hearts of the liberal democrats on the LEFT, but it can be a very tormenting, agonizing, and PAINFUL mental experience!
When this "age-abiding fire" has EXPIRED and has finished its divine PURPOSE, these liberal democrats on the LEFT will NO LONGER be in PAIN and RAGE, and will NOW willingly CONFESS that their INSANE and HARMFUL liberal political agendas were very WRONG. But there will also be "RINO" republicans (in name only) on the LEFT hand of Christ at their resurrection since they wanted to "work across the aisle" with their liberal democratic "friends", and "compromise" on certain legislation that they KNEW the majority of American people did NOT want!
The term, "right hand of God" is found several times in the New Testament, and Jesus Christ is presently at the "right hand of God", or at the "right hand of POWER" (KJV Matthew 26:64, Mark 14:62, and Luke 22:69). Yes, TRUE believers that are SET on the RIGHT hand of Christ are WITH Christ at the RIGHT hand of POWER! Therefore they will have POWER to rule in the TRUE government of God since they are WITH Christ to be a major spiritual FORCE in the coming spiritual revolution!
In Conclusion; I want to say that it is NOT wrong to VOTE and to be involved in American politics. But just keep in mind that the liberal democrats on the LEFT are INSPIRED to make sure that "their" man or woman gets elected in our government. Liberals on the LEFT will LIE and CHEAT, because that is WHO they are and that is WHAT they do! It is no secret that in our last election certain strategic voting results were RIGGED, and it was already determined who was to be elected. It is a SAD day in America when voting results are in doubt and CANNOT be trusted! So what are we supposed to do since our "voice" is NOT heard simply because our VOTE might NOT matter? We should use our God-given WISDOM to NOT be politically and spiritually deceived; which PREPARES our hearts and minds for the FUTURE! This wisdom STARTS with a careful study of the original scriptures which leads to the CORRECT truths of God. My point is; IF the correct truths of God are believed then everything about an evil deceived world can be understood so that it can be corrected, and one of these truths is the spiritual meanings of the terms, "right hand" and "left hand".
