The purpose of this test is to challenge your faith in a way it’s never been challenged before, and to help you identify and stand fast in basic, uncompromising principles of faith and love for God. The setting I’ve devised for this test may seem a little quirky at first, but hopefully the questions will help you understand why the test is set up this way. Do your best, be very honest, and know that you can truly look in the mirror and answer these questions the same as if these circumstances were very real, ever present, and are the same for the smaller challenges in your life.
You live on a planet called Uz, at a time before the written word of God. God has written his word into the heart of all mankind to know good from evil. Many generations before yours, 90% of all people of the Uz worshiped the God of heaven, and about 10% ignored God; they believed that God was allowing them to live just how ever they pleased. In your days, about 90% are living apart from God, in every wickedness and sin, and about 10% love and worship the Lord God. All those that acknowledge the Lord God and commit to obey the righteousness of God are Jobbite’s. God promised to bless them and not blot out their names from his book, and give them a crown of righteousness, if they continue to love and serve him faithfully to the end, even unto death. Based on the following circumstances please carefully answer these seven questions.
A world government system evolves out of the “East” country (a super-world power) during your time; it’s called Babylon. You have a new wife with a baby on the way: the world government system demands that this foolish idea of a God be put away, and that no one will be allowed to worship him anymore. You must place citizenship in agreement with these ideas in order to function in the system; otherwise you can not participate and earn a living in the only economy you have come to know and work in. You have your survival and your family in mind, and most teachers of God declare that God will not condemn you for doing what it takes to provide for yourself and your family; DO YOU ACCEPT CITIZENSHIP “OPPOSE” TO GOD (ANTIGOD) Take a moment to meditate on your answer before continuing. The world system is destroyed by the “West” country, then the West country divides into four world powers, each to the governance of each direction of the Uz, they all share in world power, but they still continue to oppose the Jobbite’s and God. This system only continues for a short time. One of the four world powers becomes a one world super power, by taking over the other three world powers, it’s called “The New World Babylon”. The leader of The New World Babylon imposes an identification system on the world. By making an image of the inside of everyone’s eyes and the fingerprint of their hand the whole world is controlled. An allegiance to the system, the fierce world ruler and opposition to any other worship is strictly enforced: all that refuse are detained, tortured, and killed. You have been in hiding all your life, and now need serious medical attention, as your health has begun to fail: ARE YOU GOING TO ALLOW THE WORLD SYSTEM TO MAKE AN IMAGE OF YOUR EYES AND HAND TO IDENTIFY WITH IT, AND GET THE TREATMENT YOU NEED IN THE NEW WORLD SYSTEM? Take a moment to meditate on your answer before continuing. The great world ruler makes an exception for the Jobbite’s to worship their God in a city set aside for the Jobbite’s; the only exception is they have to place citizenship, and identify with the world system: also when they are out of the Jobbite city (as in: if they go to work in the Cities of Industry) they must abide by all the rules; “not acknowledging God” like the rest of the world. Many of the Jobbite’s are proclaiming that God is talking to them, telling them to take this deal and that he has something there for them. Your wife and children are begging you to go and wonder why are you so stubbornly holding on to your own ideas about God. Your condition is worsening and they have the medical facilities you so desperately need in the city of Job, DO YOU ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT ARRANGED FOR THE JOBBITE’S? Take a moment to meditate on your answer before continuing. The great world ruler begins to limit the materials and supplies needed for Job to build it’s own industry. The Jobbite’s cannot retract their citizenship and go back in hiding. Many of the Jobbite’s that took this deal are now compelled to go into the Cities of Industry to work in order to survive. You then receive a message from your son asking this question; “If I go to the city to work, I’m opposed to God; I have three kids and a wife, I feel I’m less than an infidel if I don’t provide for them, should I accept the lesser of two evils and work in the city of industry?” WHAT DO YOU TELL HIM? Take a moment to meditate on your answer before continuing. Most of the people of Job eventually leave and take up residence closer to work. Many nations fight to break free from the evil tyrant world ruler, and it seems like the Uz is falling apart. There are about six million Jobbite’s left, but they are eating bugs and sometimes each other in order to survive. When the Wicked ruler learns of this, he sees it as an excuse for genocide of all Jobbites, and orders the whole city of Job and all of it’s inhabitants burnt and slaughtered immediately. The Uz cries out against The New World Babylon, and there is a horrible, indescribable time of tribulation. The Jobbite’s in the country side don’t feel the effects as much, because they have learn to live off the land and through other sources: but because times are so hard the medical supplies that were being slipped in has dramatically decreased. You feel your condition worsening, then you find out that the great world ruler will be in a city near you, and that he has healed a great many people of their sickness and ailments; even many Jobbite’s. Here it is, your one and only opportunity to make it to that city and finally be healed of this grievous sickness, DO YOU GO? Take a moment to meditate on your answer before continuing. The great fierce world ruler came to that city: there were so many millions of people waiting to be healed, because the tribulation was so grievous. So the vile ruler got a plan: he decides that he would heal all those that were not Jobbite’s first; so he has them meet in a large place; and he has the Jobbite’s meet in a large open desert place. When the ruler finally got around to the Jobbite’s he healed many of them; some of them were so glad they even worshiped him; saying “it is the great power of God”. Then that man of sin slipped away quietly; and before the Jobbite’s dispersed he had them all slaughtered; it was like fire raining down from heaven and none of them survived. The only word that got out about it mentioned something about taking all those people to a new city where they worship their God freely: many are offering other Jobbite’s to come out of hiding to get to the Freedom City, warning them that if they don’t, they will be hunted down and killed. Finally you can’t take the pain any more, and they make this city sound so good; even your best friend, who has been in hiding with you all these years decides to go: DO YOU GO? Take a moment to meditate on your answer before continuing. Your best friend goes, and obviously he finds out there is no Freedom City set aside, but once he hands himself over to the authorities it’s too late. So they take and demand him, while punishing him for ten days in order to force him to place citizenship and identify with the world system. Shortly into the punishment he complies. Shortly thereafter the tribulation ends, and he lived out the rest of his life in tranquil peace, and even though he loves the Lord, he has to hide the fact that he is a believer of God. DO YOU BELIEVE HE WILL RECEIVE A CROWN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS FROM GOD? Take a moment to meditate on your answer before continuing.
