Confessions Of A Duppy. Part [8] 02/02/2026 (Morning thought)

Matthew 17:1 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into a high mountain apart.

There are several instances in the Bible where the dead were brought back to life by the power of God, but every one of these instances are fully accounted for, and in every case, without exception, it’s always attributed to the power of God. The reason why The Lord found it necessary to bring some persons back to life was so that the living may have hope, and not be driven to despair by death. In many instances, when a funeral takes place, persons are driven to despair and weep unconsolably.

And thus, the specific instances where God saw it fit to bring some individuals back to life was so that we would have hope of eternal life, and not weep as do others. We will now address some of these specific instances for clarity, so as not to leave any loopholes for satan to distort the truth. Moses had been resurrected many moons ago and Elijah had been translated many centuries before.

And thus, they were sent by God from heaven to not only comfort Jesus in His hour of trial, but also to give assurance to the living, that God has the power to resurrect the dead, as well as translate the living righteous without seeing death. Thus, Elijah, who never tasted death represents the saints who will be translated without seeing death, when Jesus comes the second time, for if we are faithful there are some who will never pass through the portals of the tomb.

Matthew 17:2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!

Confessions Of A Duppy. Part [7] 02/02/2026 (Evening thought)

Job 7: 9 As the cloud is consumed and vanishes away: so, he that goes down to the grave shall come up no more. 10 He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place know him anymore.

.If duppies try to give us advice concerning any future event, know for certain that it is the devil because the Bible tells us in no uncertain terms that dead men don’t tell tales neither do they come back to visit or haunt anyone because of the simple fact that they cannot, since they are very dead. It is important that we understand the context, for Job is not saying that he will not come up in the first resurrection, he is addressing that singular issue of whether or not a dead person can revisit the living.

They absolutely cannot. However, that does not negate the fact of that great resurrection that will take place when Jesus comes the second time. At that time, all of the righteous dead will be brought back to life, and just before His coming there will also be a special resurrection, but both of these instances will only occur after human probation has been closed.

Thus, the living righteous who would have already been sealed for eternity, will not be deceived by the appearance of any duppy no matter how perfect the manifestation, for the lives of the living righteous will be hid with Christ in God permanently. In addition to this, Job goes on to specify when the resurrection will take place, so as to leave no wiggle room for any duppy to come and say otherwise.

Job 19:25 For I know that my redeemer lives, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth. 26 And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
