The fact that history is set and we are not is a reminder of how this works. The story we live through is set by destiny. Our own destiny is set by our own free will. We become a Son of the Light if we choose. Some are already there. I have an idea that, "you must be born again" figures into this a great deal. We are destined to live as a person once, then judgment (Hebrews 9). There is a final judgment so I assume that the soul lives on in another personification of that soul. Acts 24 alludes to this when Paul says that both the righteous and wicked will be here, raised, on the last day. This is called the resurrection. Revelation 1:7 then says that every eye will see and every knee bow, even those who pierced Christ. The ones that pierced Christ are the wicked generation that lived in the first century. They are here now. 7 billion souls is no mistake. This is approximately all the souls that have ever lived on the earth. That's my view.

This portion of the text is huge in its revelation:
He has granted them dominion over humanity, so imparting knowledge of good and evil, deciding the fate of every living being by the measure of which spirit predominates in him, until the day of the appointed visitation.
This relates directly to the eating of the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge and the expulsion from Eden in Genesis.
Adam and Eve, then, possessed an actual sanctuary from exposure to evil within the garden. Once they sought to know both good and evil, they were expelled from this sanctuary and into the wider world where they and all of their offspring would have to choose their alliances.

It seems simple. You either choose light or darkness and which measures up the most when your days are over is what you may experience... ? Judgement of self is the way I view it.
When you say your idea is to be born again are you speaking of baptism?
Also, ive definitely wondered if all humans residing here now is every soul thats been created thus far.
Time tells all.
Paganism is built around the selfishness of the inner desires for power and wealth. This can only take from others. True Christian faith is built on good for its own sake. The will to receive from God is then paid forward by the will to give to others above self. You can only find this narrow path in one place.
Modern religions claim causation of the ‘afterlife,' but the knowledge that humankind are naturally immortal seems to be innate in all of us whether sophisticated or primitive. That our consciousness transcends the world of Time, Space, and Causation is something that has always been known.
In modern times an argument has developed regarding who believed it first, and what the justification and rules are, for any particular claim or belief, as religions have turned the worship of the Highest into some kind of competition. Just how and why the worship of God got turned into a competitive act is a true mystery itself.
There is a popular prejudice, among even the so-called learned, that antiquity is synonymous with ignorance.There were however in the ancient world a number of great Mystery Schools which taught the experience of death and the control of consciousness to a degree which allowed their student initiates to experience both death and rebirth in the here and now.
They taught the mystery of the immortality of the human soul. Their work was the science of human regeneration.
One of the greatest of the Mystery Schools was in Egypt at Giza. One of the greatest of the initiates was a Hebrew known today as " Jesus the Christ." Reference for this is found in the New Testament of the King James version of the Bible at Revelations 11:8 which states:
" And their dead bodies shall lie in the streets of the great city which is spiritually called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified."
If the Bible is to be taken literally [ as most Christians insist it must, ]
"... where also our Lord was crucified, " means:
A. Jesus the Christ was crucified at least twice; and;
B. He had to have survived at least the first event.
Since this vastly ignored passage literally overturns the crux of Christian dogma it deserves serious consideration.
The one known as ‘ Jesus the Christ 'is probably the best known. He was by all respects the greatest initiate ever to emerge from Giza, but there were many others including Moses, Pythagoras, Plato, Solon, Herotodus, Pliny. The teachings of these men remain in literature and academia to this day. But insofar as Jesus went so far beyond the accomplishments of others, and because He is the most well known of the graduates, His story makes for the best illustration.

Hmmm.... Ok.
I view it as being born again in the womb. Reincarnation at its finest!
Being born again in water is nothing compared to being born again in flesh.
I agree though its possible for all souls to be here at this time..... Actually the possibilites are endless.

Jesus said, "So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets." Matt 7:12
This is the central story of the entire Bible. We know truth when it can be reduced to a reflecting point and the choice needs to be made.
Above, we have the choice in the reflection to choose our own will to take or allow God to give us what we need by his will. Trust and faith comes down to waiting upon the Lord or serving it up ourselves.
I know you are very opposed to the Freemasons, and feel they are "diabolical". I do not know where you get this impression; I am not a Mason, but I have never had a negative experience with them. I suspect it is a tainted and skewed impression based on sensational propaganda, and not real-world activites.

In this passage I think it actually does refer to Jesus when it mentions "his visitation" Jesus is Christ come in the flesh. What I found interesting was the part where the good and evil are still here but that the Holy Spirit will protect us from the evil spirit.
Likely, so are you if you are receiving favors from angels.
