This is a subject on which I wish to share my knowledge about the topic.

Many Christians have argued about Reincarnation, stating that it is a subject not supported or mentioned in the Bible. I want to challenge that assertion.

Allow me to quote several scriptures which mention the subject in the Holy Bible.

1. Last book of the Old Testament
Malachi 4:5
"Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD."

2. Matthew 11.14
"And if ye will receive it, this is the Elijah, which was for to come."

3. Revelations 11:3-11(only verse 3 is quoted for brevity)
"And I will give power unto my 2 witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days clothed in sackcloth."

4. The identity of the 2 witnesses mentioned in #3 above:
a. Genesis 5:24
"And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him."

b. 2 Kings 2:11
"And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven."

c. Zechariah 4:3,11,14(verse 14 quoted for emphasis)
"Then said he, these are the 2 anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth."

5. The Soul reapers
Revelations 20:13
"And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works."

The Angel of Elijah.

Every man called by God has an angel of his calling assigned by God to perform the supernatural signs and wonders attached to his ministry.

In the scriptures mentioned in my first post, #3b talked about the departure of Elijah, by fulfilling the tasks assigned to Elisha by Elijah, he was able to pick up the mantle of Elijah, and his ministry was empowered by the Angel of Elijah. And that was why the famous statement, "Where is the God of Elijah" came into being.

Secondly, in #1 a prophecy was released in the Old Testament. In point#2, Jesus Christ himself confirmed that John the Baptist was the fulfilment of the prophecy stated in Malachi 4:5. So the reason why John had words which were irresistible to the Jews was because he had a dispensation of the Kingdom of God to fulfill, and there was an angel of power, the Angel of Elijah's calling assigned to help him fulfill his assignment.

Then, Elijah will return at a time in the future when the end time calendar has moved up several steps, with Enoch to testify as prophets at that time, to a polluted world. He will be killed and he will resurrect after a while, as seen in the 11th chapter of the book of Revelations.(#3).

In Zechariah 4, the fact that 2 men are still alive and have not tasted death, but have been translated to heaven until the time of their return was shown to Zechariah.

Reincarnation could be termed a re-birth or a reappearance of an entity in a physical body, if you permit me to describe it in simple terms.

We have heard of instances of this phenomenon in our local communities, we call them "ogbanjes," "abiku," "akudaaya."

People know of this diabolical and fearsome instances of Reincarnation. Christians however feel that this is not possible, that it's a demonic trick. It is for this school of thought, that I dug up the scriptures quoted in my first post.

In my early days on Nairaland, on a deactivated account, I always mentioned the need to realize that the dimensions of this physical world have a spiritual dimension, which is active and only sensitive and disciplined individuals can wield a sizeable measure of control in the spiritual realm.

I have been opportune to learn more details about spirituality, the lack of the pure form of spirituality in some places, and the designs of spiritual encounters, warfare and the business of blood.

Reincarnation is more evident in the kingdom of darkness. I studied the books of a former occult grand master, Nathan Iyke Uzoma, and I came to realize that the kingdom of darkness were using the science of reincarnation, though the Bible shows that God reserved this gift only for specific special spiritual work.

However, the kingdom of darkness has transformed this tool into a kingdom enlargement programme. By definition, an avatar is an occult grandmaster who has completed one lifetime in a body, died, and returned in another body. (You can look up 990 years in the kingdom of darkness on YouTube, for the story of a Nigerian woman who had achieved this feat, before being arrested and converted to Christianity.)

During the 1967-70 war in Nigeria, there were soldiers who entered into reincarnation covenants before being drafted to the warfront. Once they were dying, they gave instructions to their friends and they were resurrected in the village by reincarnation of the occult.

This might sound ridiculous to some people in this generation, but these things really do happen. Another instance is the abiku case, where a woman will give birth to a child who would die at a certain age, or at birth, or at a certain time. Such problematic child-births would then occur repeatedly.

Soul reapers as mentioned in the first post(#5) are acknowledged in the Bible. In Revelations 20, the dead in the sea are mentioned, this group of unfortunate individuals are indexed separately from those who died and were taken by death and hell.

So let me explain plainly, those who die in the sea have their souls harvested and taken to marine prisons where they are conscripted into the kingdom of darkness.

Understand that these souls who died in the sea are alive in another dimension, they are not in hell, as the verse of scripture quoted states that death and hell will submit the dead in them. So, they are caught up in a different vortex which is different from the usual operations of the spirit of death.

Encounter in July 2015,
Redemption camp, Open Heaven Street.

In July 2015, I went to spend 3 days at the Redemption camp, KM46 Lagos-Ibadan for a retreat. On my first day while looking for accommodation, I stumbled on a woman(Madam Food is ready) with her house on the opposite side of the street to the Open Heaven Devotional Office in the camp.

I wanted to ask for accommodation for the period of my stay, and she was advertising a restaurant and accommodation, and so I went in to speak with her. There was a women conference at that time, and Nathaniel Bassey was one of the ministers billed to minister.

What I was looking for was different from what she was offering. But something struck me as I walked into her place, at first you would not believe a woman like that existed in such a place, but there are persons who live permanently on the redemption camp ground.

She wasn't in sync with the spiritual vibrancy of the common people in the area, and this made me extend my conversation beyond the accommodation which I sought initially.

She said she stopped being a redeemed member because there was no teaching on reincarnation, and that she had seen people who were operating in the flow of reincarnation. She mentioned that she was sure the redeemed G.O could see these people but he never taught on the subject. After overcoming my initial sceptism, and questioning her mental state, I told her a leader doesn't have to say all that he sees and encouraged her to return to the fold of Christ.

After that conversation, I would think about the woman's stance and I felt God wanted me to hear something back then, but it took me a while to realize, especially after discussing with Christian brethren, that Christians don't believe in reincarnation.

I am not asking people to believe in reincarnation, but to realize that the Bible acknowledges the process of reincarnation, and the fact that there is an extensive demonic use of reincarnation in the oceans of the world.

Otherwise, there would be no need for dead bodies to be summoned to the great white throne judgement, the dead, adjudged to be dead on land by their families, but living in the waters under captivity must be called to face the judgment of the King of Kings. Their spirits would face judgement for their works in the human flesh.

My favorite quote on this matter is Job 1:20-21,
Naked I came from my mother's womb, naked I shall return there again.

Return where again?

Resurrection of the dead through Christ is achieved by reincarnation.

1 Corinthians 15:35 But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?

Meaning, the dead will come back with a body.

1 Corinthians 15:38 But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body.

How are these body coming back?
They are given birth to become new born babies.

1 Timothy 2:15 Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.

So, salvation is all about child bearing which is reincarnation.

You go back to the womb

How did you get there in the first place... Life is a circle, not a straight line. Death is just a point on it..
The flow of time is also circular.. Not linear..
