Galatians 3; Verses 15-18; Living by Faith (cont)

Thank you for taking a look †

The Lord through Paul goes through so many examples in the purpose of the law, and how it's used. False teaching is saying there is no law. The law is there after salvation, it should not me made null and void, and the other extreme condemning one. Both are of the flesh and not the Holy Spirit (Romans 8 lays it out in cross reference with Galatians 3). Instead of condemning that's what should bring repentance. The law is their to correct us my friends. Lest, we're making it up saying grace. That would be in vain.

(Matthew 7:23) "And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."

(Matthew 7:21) "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven."


(Iniquity = lawlessness. They did it in vain. It is not them that reject Christ here openly. It is them who are saying Jesus, God, grace, faith, etc).

(Doing the will of the Father is of course salvation first. Coming into relationship with Father through Christ. Naturally their doing right through faith, thus in God's will automatic).


Okay, to Galatians.

(Galatians 3:15-18) "Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man's covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto.

(In other words using examples we can only relate to. Explaining the only way so that man cannot remove it, that is make it null and void, or add to it especially through man kinds traditions. Like making it up as they go along. It's confirmed because Christ confirmed it, and the whole Word of God points to the coming of the Messiah. The first and second coming).

Reference:

(Mark 7:13) "Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye."


None affect when man makes it up. Your following man, not the Lord. Now here is the huge problem. As Paul illustrates we look to God's law to show us why we need to be saved, lest the cross be in vain. But man makes it up what is one being saved from? Their is no savior for that. It is not different now, you get a bunch of do this, do that, not being in grace (through faith) giving more bondage. This is a huge problem because people think they go to get Word but they are being duped. Coming out worse than before. But yet coming out entitled. Misdirecting and falsely calling things "God's blessing."

16Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.

(Seed = sperm. From the word sperma from the Greek. An unstudied word now that one must be careful about how to apply it. It can mean spiritually or physically. Here of course physically as He is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Down through the 12 tribes (13 being technical), though the King line and Priest line (both on Mary's side) through Christ the Messiah. It had to be this way for salvation to come all people on this side of the cross).

17And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.


(Meaning the promise was in faith, God's Word. The law through Moses does not set that aside. Which is why Paul is using Abraham as an example. Abraham lived by faith and responded accordingly doing right. Righteousness = The condition acceptable to God, then doing right).

18For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise."

(The inheritance = Christ and the covenant = The New Testament. In other words, if one could say they are righteous by the law that came through Moses they are saying they don't need Christ. The other problem with this it ends up not God's law but what man makes up over time. It is the Holy Spirit that corrects according to God's Word. As stated before, after salvation the law is there for correction. Not self-justification, or to be condemned (it can go either way which cannot happen). Nope, we repent move on and growing from it. This is done of course by learning Christ words. As we went through Matthew chapters 5-8 recently. The chapters that Christ teaches the relationship between motives and doing. The motives change the want to do them. If one is in grace through faith. The want will first be there, then we do. Not the other way around. Christ come to fulfill the law, not do away with it. Fulfilled by being the sinless sacrifice). 

In other words, before we have to do them we want to do them. Not seeing God's law as grievous (pain and suffering), a burden, a pain in the butt.

Christ was sacrificed for us in doing so in pleasing the Father and still never saw it a pain, AMAZING!!! Consider all that is a lot.

Amen †

Dueteronomy 32; Verses 23-25; The Song of Moses (cont)

Thank you for taking a look †

The Song of Moses for this generation. Those who overcome satan, and the one world system/new world order will be singing it.

(Deuteronomy 32:23-25) "I will heap mischiefs upon them; I will spend mine arrows upon them.

(As explained in the previous post. They reject the Gospel and the Gospel Armour not only do they get satan's arrows without the shield of faith. But the Lord's homing arrow. Paying and they do not know it, but those who know truth can see it. 3 verses here, and you'll see 3 parts of the Gospel Armour. Once again, I cannot stress the importance of it enough. As satan comes with the fallen angels as well. We need to be fully armed, locked and loaded, if you will. Spiritually speaking of course).

24They shall be burnt with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, and with bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the poison of serpents of the dust.

(Moving on. This is the first trumpet that began the famine, and the bitter waters along with wormwood. Which gives way to the political beast. Not hard to see they want the removal of Christ hence faith. That is an abomination. The poison of serpents of the dust, snakes on the ground in the dust. We need the Gospel shoes. Of course, this is the Christ hating kenites who call themselves jews and are not, the off spring of the serpent. This is also why the false preachers have the full kenite doctrine after satan claims to be Christ/God in/at the 6th seal, 6th trumpet, 6th vial. "Tails like serpents." As now they are trying to get people to believe satan is the messiah, to bow and worship him being convinced satan is Christ/God).

Let's look at trumpet 1 first,

(Revelation 8:7) "The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up."

(Hail mixed with fire is lukewarm. Christ warned to get to know what the two churches of Smryna and Philadelphia know, understand, teach, follow. As referenced above).

The blood is on them. The blood is on their hands. We went over that in the last study. They reject the blood of Christ. Fire of course wins out in the end. The Word of God either burns one in the negative or puts on fire, passion. As the Lord is a consuming fire.

(Trees and grass burnt up = the famine for hearing the words of the Lord).

Let's look at Amos 8:11-13,

11"Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:

(Christ = the bread of life. satan is coming to be the "breadwinner" in promise of all the things of the world).

12And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it.

(The sea of course brings you to trumpet 2. The mountains 1/3 go into the sea. The sea is Babylon. It is progressive. They go from this person to that person for info here in the age of information (Daniel 12:4 also). Never getting to the Word of God verse by verse).

13In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst.

Both references here of the foolish virgins from Amos and the Song of Moses. Young men used as an example for all inclusive full of energy they are (invincible feeling). So it shows even those full of energy they don't have their lamp lighted you can forget about it, that is the Holy Spirit).

Fair virgins = the prettiest of the prettiest. oh yes, satan will fulfill that lust for materialism, and for all the merchants of the earth to do buying and selling.

25The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling also with the man of gray hairs."

(The sword = third reference to the Gospel Armour. The sword of the spirit, the Holy Spirit, that has satan and his on the run in fear. The young man and virgin again for the same point as discussed).


But here we get the "woe to those who give suck." This of course means, they reproduced and nursed satan's works along. The man of gray hairs = all age range in between young and old. No one is exempt from the most prettiest to the most energy. The point is no Gospel Armour and lamps being lit even the most "in shape" won't be enduring till the end.


Reference: (Matthew 24:18) "And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!"

Keep the womb barren. Not worshiping satan. But consider the abomination that makes desolate and abomination as he claims to be Christ/God:

(Isaiah 54:1) "Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the LORD."

(This is why we're doing the song of Moses. Those who overcome will be singing it. They did not spiritually fornicate with satan. They waited on their husband the real Christ, and take place in the marriage supper. They have their garments on when Christ comes back. Not found naked and ashamed. Just like the garden of Eden in the physical there. As the snake burned them).

(Christ the perfect gentleman serves His people when he comes back. He served us in the first coming, we serve Him until the second coming, then He serves us).

(Luke 12:36-37) "And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.

37Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them."
We'll conclude this study here.

Amen †

Deuteronomy 32; Verses; 20-22; The Song of Moses (cont)

The Song of Moses continued. For this generation, and those who overcome satan, and the one world system/new world order will be singing it. The victory is theirs, and theirs to keep :)

Thank you for taking a look!


(Deuteronomy 32:20-22) "And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be: for they are a very froward (perverse) generation, children in whom is no faith."

(In other words, He will see to it. Hide His face. And this is not hide and seek, and they did not want ask, search, and knock for that door to be answered. As the foolish virgins will be left outside knocking. We will see that in verse 25 here as well. That verse where the Lord sends  the political beast. He is hiding his face because they don't want Christ. What do they lack? Faith. The first in the Gospel Armor that protects from satan. So they shall be handed over to satan. What they reject always the same comes back on them. That is the vengeance of the Lord. He is absolutely saddened and had enough with His creation. They want nothing to do with Him).

Let's see the result of this hiding for rejecting Him:

(Deuteronomy 32:42) "I will make mine arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh; and that with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the beginning of revenges upon the enemy."

(So they are getting satan's arrows through the control of the Lord. Now remember this song is for our generation and those who overcome. No matter how bad things get these are His promises for vengeance. This is fornication with Babylon. They mix religions, so the Lord mixes a staggering drink of soul piercings here. Just as they served Christ that bitter gall. The same comes on them. You reject Christ your going to pay for it on your own. It don't have to be that way though. He paid the price so that we don't have to).

Even more: The beginning of the revenges upon the enemy = It's all coming down them. Meaning they are going to pay for it all. Not only their only sin.

The sword = the Word of God. Hebrews 4:12-13; Ephesians 6:17. The sword they rejected cuts them to pieces, asunder left their naked and exposed is what it means. You see John 3:20-21 is our testimony in belief/repentance of Christ. The Lord is saying you can do it now, or reject and have it forced upon on you. Now I don't recommend posting your sins for all to see. But every Christian has a testimony how the Lord changed their heart and mind, through the forgiveness of sins.

References: (Hebrews 4:12-13) "For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

That is our own soul and spirit. That is what the Holy Spirit comes to do. Of course this is not a painless process as everyone knows the saying you cut me to the bone. This would be of course why people don't want to hear the Word. This of course why satan fears us as Christian putting that sword to Him. It exposes his spiritual condition. As you see here, "any creature."

Here is the John 3:20-21 reference: "For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

(That exposing of evil, trying to suppress it. In fear of the light).

21But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

Their new works, you will see them. On account/evidence of belief/repentance, a changed heart and mind. And that is the awesome and most wonderful beautiful power of the Lord. This could be "contagious."

But,

(It is absolutely pathetic to watch another so-called Christian use a repentant Christians sins over their head. They are not in it for the right reasons. That is what it is all about. The beauty of Christianity the forgiveness of sins. Many examples Christ gives us they are going to pay, they are going to be sent to satan because the cross is not getting the job done. Time to rearrange their perspective, back to the first love. Pure motives, sincerity).

On to Hebrews 4:13,

13Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

(That is humans with souls and spirit, angels, fallen angels, satan, and evil spirits. That is what the Word does. We can either respond and have the Lord build back us up. And other Christians better be helping and encouraging. They better know when to build up, and when to break down).

To Deuteronomy 32:21,

21They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities (vain, emptiness): and I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.

(Who did it? They did it. And they are blaming Him for it, and want Him removed as we speak).

This is Babylon specific in context. As they became part of the sea increasingly from political beast to religious beast). 

22For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell (meaning the whole Earth), and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains."

(Her is Babylon, and mountains = nations. As she swallows up she will be swallowed up).

(Isaiah 13:1-4) "The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz did see.

2Lift ye up a banner upon the high mountain, exalt the voice unto them, shake the hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles.

(Mountains singular is Babylon collectively. The nations together, as she sits on top of them in their one world system/new world order. Babylon means confusion from the word Babel. The state of mind they are in, their spiritual condition. Sitting over them in symbolic for what they look up to).

3Ihave commanded my sanctified ones, I have also called my mighty ones for mine anger, even them that rejoice in my highness.

(This the 2 witnesses along with God's elect for vials 2, 3 and 4).

4The noise of a multitude in the mountains, like as of a great people; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together: the LORD of hosts mustereth the host of the battle."

(That is the heathen rage, they imagine a vain thing. That of course most of all that satan is Christ/God. Babylon as the kings of earth have fornicated with her. Please check Psalm chapter 2).

(Here you have it the nations/mountains gathered collectively to make up Babylon).

Let's look in Revelation 17 in direct cross reference, and we'll conclude this study,

(Revelation 17:15) "And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues."

Finishing up where we started, faith. You've seen Christ and the cross do one amazing miracle in you, you've read these stories. but let's see that they mean.

(Luke 8:25-26) "And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.
(The raging sea of Babylon. Christ through the Father calmed the weather physically and He is in control of the spiritual weather here now, the condition. That should bring the utmost confidence through faith. And of course, calm. Silent peace, calm. No fear).
25And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him.
They did not keep calm as the sea raged, example the heathen. And look here the absolute excitement of the Disciples jumping off the pages. You can feel it. As Noah was in the ark, the Disciples in the ship.

Let's not jump ship?

Amen †

Revelation 11; Verses 1-2; The Spiritual Measuring

Thank you for taking a look †

Now remember we're between trumpets 6 and 7 here. The two witnesses come right before satan claims to be Christ/God. We get a double pouring of the Holy Spirit. In what I call a morale boost for the Lord's Army here. We will get to the timing and correlation (months i.e. moons as opposed to days i.e. solar) as move between the 6th and 7th trumpets as we further along. As you have the children of light, and the children of darkness.

We will also see the false teaching that the church is gone here. How? the candlesticks are the church. They are here in Revelation 11 and Zechariah 4. That is in the next study post. Some good ground to cover here. 



Setting the time and place for the two witnesses:

(Revelation 11:1-2) "And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God (the church as a whole/the people), and the altar (prayers before the LORD), and them that worship therein.

(You do not measure with a reed. This is a rod to measure God's people. Also rod of correction as we have the 144,000 sealed up here between trumpets 6 and 7. Also seals 6 and 7. Along with vials 6 and 7).

(Once again, between 6 and 7 of each of seals, trumpets, and vials the 144,000 are sealed).

(Obviously, this is not a literal measurement. But a measurement of people as we see the worshipers are being measured. This is a time of separation. The plummet line it is the people of God measured here. Sizing them up, this is the bunch you want to "fit in" with. The true measuring of success).

The morale boost:

(Zechariah 4:10) "For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro through the whole earth."

(But what are the seven eyes? They are a sign to all to know the Lord is watching. The seven heads from Revelation 13:1. Which are of course the seven continents/dominions. Remember Babylon thinks and say she sits as a queen. She thinks the Lord is not watching as they are convinced and then worship satan as Christ/God).

(Zechariah 4:7) "Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it."

(Who do think you are the Lord is saying).

(That mountain is of course Babylon, reduced lower in size (statement of degradation). That headstone is of course in remembrance of Christ through grace of the cross. THE GIFT OF GOD. References; Isaiah 13; Ephesians 2:8-9 to name a couple).

Cross reference:

(Isaiah 13:2-4) "Lift ye up a banner upon the high mountain, exalt the voice unto them, shake the hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles.

3I have commanded my sanctified ones, I have also called my mighty ones for mine anger, even them that rejoice in my highness.


4The noise of a multitude in the mountains, like as of a great people; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together: the LORD of hosts mustereth the host of the battle.

Back to Revelation 11:2,

2But the court which is without the temple leave out (cast away), and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.

(There you have it. Gentiles here meaning unbelieving foreigners heathen. There is no need to measure an unbeliever. The outer court was for the gentiles "the court of the gentiles." And so it is the those who do not truly worship God are left without, outside looking in. Of course, Jerusalem has been controlled by the gentiles. Since the captivity and scattering of Judah after Babylon. The time of Daniel, Zechariah (1:18-21) and many of the prophets who prophesied about it. This is seen in Revelation 17; Luke 21:24 to name a couple others).


Amen †

Deuteronomy 32:16-19; The Song of Moses (cont)

(Matthew 6:24) "No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon."

Thank you for taking a look †

The Song of Moses. For this generation and those who overcome satan, the mark of the beast, the one world system/new world order. (Revelation 15:2-3).

(Deuteronomy 32:16-19) "They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods (idols), with abominations (detestable) provoked they him to anger.

(Here God is using Himself in parental role, so we will go with that line of thinking spiritually. As He raised up the children of Israel until now.  I thought jealousy was all negative? Not jealousy that wants to protect (with Christians that's being brethren). Remember Christ said, He wanted to protect them as a hen gathers her chicks in with her wings).

Who did the provoking? People--the children of Israel specific. No one can blame God. If you don't want Him He says fine. But don't expect an eternity.

17They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not.

That is the sacrifice to demons/evil spirits. satan's messengers. satan and the kids gets bored after awhile. The actions of worshiping idols never change, but the actual physical object does change. Every little new invention that man came up with they had to have it. They couldn't do without it. Nothing new under the sun to today. This is like watching your child cheat on their first love. Senseless. They'd be like what the heck are you doing kid? overall worshiping idols is all about self-justification. Then trying to buy the Lord off. Not good, when He sent Christ to pay the ransom.


Now this is key our giving for the Lord and in the name of the Lord. For the kingdom are we doing it out love? Cheerfully? There is nothing like raising another up and our Father being proud of both people on account. Make sure our sacrifice is not to satan. But with pure motives.

18Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee.

(The Lord using the rock reference as we were formed from the dust. No rock, paper, scissors here. He is the immovable force. How can one forget that?

Getting to the point where it's not even up for consideration. We have crossed the line to not thinking and just senseless now. Them idols (the created thing of the world) do nothing. What have they done for you? Them "gods" have no relationship skills. They cannot relate as Christ came to do. Therefore, the worship of them over the Lord is not reality. Christianity is a relationship with our Father through Christ. You cannot love people and have you heart and mind set on idols and revolving around them. If that is how one views the world then they worship satan in a heartbeat when he offers all the things of the world to bow to him.

19And when the LORD saw it, he abhorred (disgusted) them, because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters."

(And so it is).

Amen

Revelation 10; Verses 8-11; Cup of Wrath

Thank you for taking a look †

(Revelation 10:8-11) "And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth.

What has not been revealed yet (as Revelation means to unveil/uncover the truth)? John has been shown how it shakes down through the seals, up to the 6 trumpets now. But he has not seen God's wrath/judgment in detail yet. We have yet to see the rise of the new world order, and we're not even to the 7th trumpet and Christ' coming yet.

(Revelation 12--is a long overview of History of the controversy between satan and the LORD, and the 12 tribes. Starting from the first earth age till satan coming and God's elect standing against satan).

(Revelation 13--is the building of the one world system in detail. political to religious taking the mark of the beast. It then becomes Babylon to a complete head after that. Revelation 17 is an overview of that. Revelation 18 is the reasoning for the judgment).

(Revelation 14-- a view of Christ' coming).

(Revelation 15-- is the Millennium. So we see get one angle there complete).

(Revelation 16-- to the vials--judgment for  taking the mark of the beast).

(Revelation 17--18, up above. Once again the rise and fall of Babylon and the reasoning why. An overview chapter. Revelation 17 an overview of history from the first beast when the gentiles took control of Jerusalem).

(Revelation 19--Christ' coming in detail. We see two story lines completed in the positive and negative. You have satan coming in on a white horse. Christ comes back on the white horse. You have the marriage supper of the lamb. You have the great supper of God).

(Revelation 20--the resurrection at Christ' coming. The Millennium, then the Great White Throne judgment).

(Revelation 21--the eternity).

(Revelation 22--conclusion of the whole book of Revelation basically).

In all these you get many of the same events. Completing the story lines. Giving us the full picture. The Lord reaching out exhaustively to relate to people. For example: everyone can and should be able to relate cheating on their spouse? Being burned by a snake? Everyone can relate to dinnertime? Ans the list goes on.

(Back to Revelation 10:9)

9And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.

This is very key here. John has seen a lot. He knew some bad things for the World were and are coming. BUT he is still hungry for the Word. Are we in fear of learning the book of Revelation? The fear should be not learning it, but confidence through faith. Excitement in the return and second coming for Christ. Standing for the Father through Christ. How wonderful is that?

10And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.

(The truth is honey, like the land flowing of milk and honey. Milk is always symbolic of salvation/salvation message. Honey of course is a lot thicker and a lot sweeter. But why bitter? bittersweet? This message makes people bitter for one. Secondly, the cup Christ wanted to pass--God's wrath coming. But for anyone to have salvation the will of the Father had to happen).

Let's check this out:

(Matthew 26:39-41) "And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.

(Because Christ knew what was coming result. He just explained two chapters prior in Matthew 24. Father's plan to come to completion. The days of vengeance).

40And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?

(This is that example of the hour of temptation to stay watchmen, and not fall asleep. Fall asleep would consist of worshiping satan at the hour of temptation).

41Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

(And that is what satan is coming to do at the hour of temptation. Offer all the things of the world to get one to bow to him claiming to be Christ/God--the savior of the world).

Back to Revelation 10:11,

11And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings."

(And so it is. Which is why we did the overview. To give an outline for your further studies).

The book the Apostle John swallowed was of course the rest, how it ends in the wrath of God. Not the easiest thing at times to know this truth. But as we get further along, and also realizing the Millennium. What it means to be in the flesh age we get a fuller picture. Not only that a full picture on the character of God. His exhaustive attempt to save HIS creation.

Amen †

Matthew 13; Verses 18-23; The Parable of the Sower Explained

The explanation of the Parable of the Sower. If Christ is going over it again. Well, doubly important. Thank you for taking a look †

(Matthew 13:18-23) "Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.

(Listen closely. Parable = side-by-side comparison to separate truth. Like slicing with the Sword of the Spirit right in half. Truth from lie, fact from fiction, life from death).

Sower = scattering seeds. Here the Gospel and the Word of God. No one is exempt. Everyone who has ever heard the Gospel and had the mental faculty to make a decision it applies.

19When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.

(These were the fowls. This is like someone buying you a field to farm and think nothing of it (never penetrating the heart). But then go on mocking the person who bought the field. That field you reject is the earth. "Blessed are the meek; for they shall inherit the earth." Matthew 5:5. If satan snatched immediately the motives were never pure from the get-go).

20But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;

And because of receiving with joy and stony they just come out hardened (nothing will please them) after dealing with satan. This is why it is the utmost of importance and I stress the Gospel Armour.

21Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.

(When things get a little rocky nowhere to be found. They are in it for a season. No foundation here. They failed to move on from salvation message. But what makes them turn away? The Word. It's a thing that increases as well. So if your reading this and see this coming here you have it. Don't let it be you, and I don't want to see it be you).

22He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.

(Now this is important the 3 types of the negative side. Now in the end all go back to the world. The deceitful of riches always has to do with trying to gain everything then think one can change the world. What else is never counted in that equation is how much you have to lie, cheat, and steal everyday to get their i.e. ill-gotten gains "to get to the top." As the world would say).

23But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty."

(They held on (faith) for that season, weathered the storm(s). They weathered all types of weather. Now it's going to pay off. And Christ is happy with all the returns here. As I say many times sometimes people think or can feel the Lord is not with them. Look at your motives and you can be rest assured He is there. This is and can only be done by and through the Holy Spirit in this world of darkness. The ONLY light. You can be assure just how wide that line in separation is with the Sword--light from dark).

Matthew 13; Verses 10-17; Parables

Thank you for taking a look †

(Matthew 13:10-17) "And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?

(The Lord never rejects honest questions in sincerity. He is going to bring an answer pretty quick. You can count on it).

11He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

(Not given because they did not want to believe/repent as we will see more below. Take a good at look supporting factors such as, miracles, resurrecting the dead, casting out evil spirits, feeding 5,000 people. Common sense teaching. What would a parable do? Nothing, a parable is a simple but thinkers truth. The ability to reason correctly weighing both sides. Like all prophecy being fulfilled concerning the first coming. Which is why it's a side-by-side comparison to separate truth for Christians).

12For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.

Your going to grow, or your not going to grow to a plentiful harvest. If the Lord gives one must continue on. Keep on with it going through adversity, "weathering the storms."

Like Christ did as an example physically for us spiritually through adversity:

(Matthew 8:26-27) "And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.

(Faith would have calmed the worry is the point. But why? Christ had told them many things they seen with their own eyes come to pass already. They needed to develop more trust here.

27But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!"

Back to the main point of Matthew 13:12,

As we been over in the last post when one learns and believes the wrong Gospel they are worse off than before. It is taken this simple concept in the Gospel Armor as well (satan taking what little they have, the spoils). You don't keep moving forward overcoming that adversity in life what is thrown at you, it's wasting what the Lord gave you. That is just rude, crude, and unattractive to everyone else. No love in it. Not what using whatever the Lord gave you confirming it is in the Word as God's Word and not sharing: you might as well go dig a hole 6 feet deep and throw the Bible in it. Withholding truth no matter what the Lord gave you. We need to know where we stand. Moreover, someone gives you a gift who says it's not good enough? Who says you can have it back? No they are accepting and very thankful, unless one thinks they are entitled.

Grace through faith is not a gift of God, but THE GIFT OF GOD. Standing in the faith is constantly talked about. We have to follow through.

We all go through adversity it and the worst kind not being able to recognize a situation of adversity is like a friend of Job's. They came to accuse (which only brought more adversity on to Job which obviously he did not need at the time). They came to be heard and not listen. They came to empower themselves in selfish ambition. This was pride in presumptuous arrogance and preconceived notions speaking in the Lord's name knowing-nothing.

No, Christians should be recognizing a time of adversity and apply accordingly. It is not the time to tear down. Moreover, how are you going to give advice on what the Lord is doing not repenting themselves? Serious? Just as pharisees think which sin did they commit for this to happen?

To Matthew 13:13,

13Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.

They cannot perceive and rationalize. The eye (the eye of one's mind, from the word see) again not woven together where both eyes can see the same = unbalanced. Leading to double-minded that James talks about in the book of James. Faith because of no works. In it for self, and not working for the Lord sharing what the Lord gave them.

14And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:

(It's written. That being so, we should be searching the Old Testament drawing it out, the Old and the New).

15For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.

Let's see what does it. Waxed gross = grown callous (we are either moving forwards or backwards), the inability to feel correctly. As we have been over and over emotional intelligence begins at the forgiveness of sin. Not blaming others for your sins living in the past revengeful, out of spite.

Humbles one's self like a little child then begin to grow up. Healing them exactly from this condition--a broken heart. Converted as said of course begins with that belief and repentance thus having the forgiveness of sins. Suppose one thinks Christianity is hard. Really? Who else teaches the forgiveness of sins? It is saying the no to self that people despise. Life and the abundance of it begins at belief/repentance. Christianity is not a religion, but a reality in relationship.

We'll go to the OT for references for both above (Paul spoke of adversity all the time as that is what he faced getting the Gospel out. Good thing he did not listen to a type of Job's friends. We would not have a Gospel, hypothetically.

(Proverbs 17:16-17) "Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing he hath no heart to it?

17A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity."

Unless of course, your like Job's "friends." Speaking in the Lord's name knowing-nothing just being a condemner. Motor mouths. That's how you end friendships, you can forget about brothers and sisters in Christ.

Back to Matthew 13:16,

16But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.

(Happy are they. Should be oh so very thankful for this. To understand the parables. And that is going to include the wheat and the tares when we get down to it. If you don't know these you will never understand God's Word. Understanding the parables inherently means you are moving along and growing. We don't want to ever stop).

17For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them."

(All of them looked forward to either the first or second coming of Christ. Both what all HIStory points too. And we live on this side of the cross = grace through faith. As any prophecy concerns either the first or second coming of Christ, then the Millennium, and then eternity).

Amen †

Matthew 13; Verses 1-9; The Parable of the Sower

Thank you for taking a look †
 
(Matthew 13:1-9) "The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side.

(Significant here because the sea in many places and always in the book of Revelation symbolic for people. Amos 8:11-13 one of many OT references. So Christ is giving us a vivid picture here. As John stood by the sea shore in Revelation 13:1. Also, the children of the Israel and the Kingdom are like the number of the sand of sea).

2And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.

(This would be vivid imagery of being fishers of men as well. They did not take boating trips for pleasure. Nor had a Walmart where the shelves were stocked. Simple plant and vegetation life here, a farmer. Going all the way back to what the Lord formed Adam to do, a man to till the soil).

What a scene this was for sure:

3And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow;

(Parable = side by side comparison(s) to separate truth, make it simple in the simplicity Christ teaches).

These explaining when one is not understanding the Gospel, they learn the Gospel wrong.

4And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:

The sower = the Lord.

(Much of it will be worry to gain the things of the world first. Remember what Christ said way back in Matthew 6:26? The fowls of the air do not sow. But they reap the benefits. So shall we see here in a few verses to those who trust in the Lord. Spiritual benefits. The ability to have a plentiful harvest).

(satan come here immediately and takes what they have. Eating them alive too).

5Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:

Just hardened. You cannot please the people no matter what as nothing will penetrate the heart (not much soil to work with). Like talking to a wall. There is no depth to them as well. Immediate rejection.

Now note later on in the parable explained more when Christ explains, these are that receive it with joy. I'm giving the after affects here. They receive it with joy and are offended. Peer pressure. They fail to make step in faith. This ain't what I thought it was going to be like they say.

6And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.

(The sun = the light, truth. Burns them up. In the heat of the day. When things are going a little rough. Working up a little sweat. They cave. We can see they were in it for the good time. "Let the good times roll they say." They don't want to hear truth. Some would be still sitting in a pew going for the stage shows and festivities. Brought to you by lying wanna be "pastors." They are more bitter now than before they had any recollection of the Gospel. But that is all that is in their memory is a faint memory. We can see why they want to hear stage shows now. Being told what they want to hear, so they are not offended).

(These made it a little further along than those by the wayside).

7And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:

(Once again worries. The cares of this world. They say they have to Gain the world then they will serve God. That's a lie. Matter of fact it tells one motives. They are premeditated and nothing real about it. So the materials of the world make them turn out to be fake with the deception of money and it's promise. No matter of fact that lust of the flesh is cut off when you realize they are just materials. Come and go. Even so, we view them as the Lord's materials. We are stewards. Managing the property).

Choked = When problems surround them it is overwhelming. So they seek solutions without the Lord. Not trusting.

8But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.

(Not bitter people at all but full of compassion, mercy, forgiveness and love. The Gospel and the Word of God penetrated, they have been through adversity (all weather during growth period) hanging in there. Their harvest comes. But they must be patient. Christ is happy with all these returns. As we see if one is in it for instant gratification you can forget about it. That mindset you don't even have a chance to begin with. Not bitter = towards the Lord first, and good will towards people beginning with want of salvation for them. As Christ laid down His life for salvation for us, we do the same. Putting our will aside. Servants for Christ). 

9Who hath ears to hear, let him hear."

(That is a blessing. Whoever listens, listens. Whoever does not, does not. Keep on keeping on).

Amen †

Dueteronomy 32; Verses 13-15; The Song of Moses (cont)

Thank you for taking a look †

Continuing on in the people of Israel (the tribes). A HIStory drive by for us to look and reflect upon here in the end-times.

(Deuteronomy 32:13-15) "He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck (nursing them) honey out of the rock, and oil (olive oil) out of the flinty rock;

(Continuing on with the Lord being the eagle, soaring through the air. The high places as they put the Lord first. But remember where satan took Christ? Showed him all the kingdoms of the world, Christ did not go with that high-mindedness in selfish ambition forgetting the Father. No, He did the Father's will for us who come to believe, respond doing it for the Father through Him. The first-born, only-begotten showing us the way).

He is THE ROCK, satan the false rock (smooth stone/rock worn over time from the garden of Eden). Honey is an expression of sweetness, and oil for gladness. Joy and gladness. 

Let's take a look down to get that comparison right now:

(Deuteronomy 32:29-30) "O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!

(That is the mark of the beast. Here is wisdom, he who has understanding count the number of the beast. Another reference: Ezekiel 28:12 and on, satan as the king of Tyrus beginning in the garden of Eden. Tyrus means a rock).

30How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the LORD had shut them up?

(That is those who take the mark of the beast, with the one world currency selling out. But it is satan selling them out. The Lord shutting them up, means they are now in "no man's land", no place to call a home. This is why the foolish virgins who let their lamps go out are left outside knocking).

Let's take a quick look (remember we referenced this two studies prior, if needs be go back take a look. It is Deuteronomy 32:25 for that.

The one world currency here where they sell out. It's because it is dirty blood money. In other words, you have a job you will be selling out to morals. It is not the Lord punishing anyone.

(Matthew 25:9) "But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves."

No place to go, no place to call a home,

(Matthew 25:10-12) "And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.


11Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.


12But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not."
Remember, they sold out to satan, sold people out for their own lusts. Calling it love too.


To Deuteronomy 32:14,

14Butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape.

(The best of the best. This is talking about Israel's time of prosperity. A lot of which gets taken granted for after awhile. Blessed through enemies. But the good times got rolling and the Lord gets forgotten. Man thinks he did it alone. We cannot let that happen).

(Land flowing with milk and honey (sweetness, joy, and salvation). Satisfaction of the soul putting God first. Of course, Milk always comes first and is symbolic of salvation, then the meat--the meat of the Word. Wine/grape is symbolic for the blood of Christ. But idols caused them to be drunk of the wrong wine. Which lead to the physical. God gave the best of the best physically as well, as they served Him first).

(The pure grape was before they let the kenites (the sons of cain) in (I Chronicles 2:55). They got lazy and not paying attention. As stated they took things for granted).

Let's see what that vine is:

(Deuteronomy 32:33-34) "For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters (group) are bitter:

(Like the sodomites. Grapes of gall = bitter/wormwood. They are Christ and Christian haters. Refer to the talmud).

(There are even some false teachers/preachers who say they are under a different covenant than the blood of the cross).

33Their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps (venomous snake).

(Talking about the kenites. Who is the dragon? satan himself. (Revelation 12:9) satan, and his off spring. They don't drink the blood of Christ, the cross. Remember Christ said drink my blood--the cross? Venom of snakes = the offspring of the serpent and the Christ-hating they spew out of their mouths. Going all the way back to Abel being murdered by Cain. Obviously, their doctrine and supporting is not the blood/wine of Christ at the cross. That pure blood).

Dragon here is what they take in. Snakes for what comes out (spew).

Reference:

(Revelation 12:9) "And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him."

Back to Deuteronomy 32:15,

15But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness; then he forsook God which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation."

(Jeshurun means upright one (symbolic for Israel as a whole). But used derogatorily like a good time charlie. Just looking for pleasure. When things are going good they say it's the Lord's blessing, then take for granted forget the Lord then blame the Lord. The problem? Not taking things serious enough. No passion, no fire in them. But the fire actually burns them. That should not be so after true repentance. These people are around for the good-times and nowhere to be seen when times are not so good. The problem? Everyone wants mercy, but don't give any. So they shall see none on judgment day).

Mercy is the result of compassion. Compassion begins at the cross towards us first, then us outward in response from there. Having that forgiveness of sins and paying that message forward. If someone counts compassion as the excuse for sin then they need to begin all over again. That's backwards, and backwards feeling. Compassion was paying for our sin. Therefore, our response should have the same passion as Christ. Did they not make a movie called The Passion of The Christ?

(I don't usually refer to movies made by Hollywood. But that one was fine. No false doctrine in it).

We all sin in the flesh, we don't excuse it. And for those who know better Christ taught lessons on going back into the world your going to pay with some blows. No fun in that. Let's consider the Jeshurun attitude foolishness. Which is exactly why the Lord is going over it for us.

Amen †

Deuteronomy 32; Verses 10-12; Revelation 12:15-17; The Song of Moses (cont)

Thank you for taking a look †

Still recapping the History of Israel (Jacob) and nations. To present day where the tribes are scattered. Most of "Christianity" calls those in the Land of Israel now God's chosen. That's a lie. This is for our generation and those singing the Song of Moses have victory over satan--the mark of the beast.


Let's take a quick view further down.

(Deuteronomy 32:26) "I said, I would scatter them into corners, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men."


Now we have that fixed:

That is the 4 corners of the Earth, which did not even begin to happen until some 700 years after Moses died. Remembrance among men? The Lord is ultmately in control. That should bring comfort. Remember the last post? Don't blame Him. Who is going to charge the Lord with crime?

The false teachers have the whole Bible backwards. Calling them in the land of Israel now God's chosen. Serious? They hate Christ and Christians. They use Christians. That is what the sons of cain (kenites) do. If you don't wake up to this there is no hope. That's the way it is. How in the world can one say let's get the Gospel out then support those who directly hate it? Self-refuting. Stop following these false preachers and man.

But James (the Lord's physical brother and Pastor in Jerusalem) sure knew what is going on:

(James 1:1) "James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting."
Hope your interested now :)

(Deuteronomy 32:10-12) "He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness (the World); he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye.

God chose Jacob (Israel). Remember we are recapping because this is about looking back and reflecting. So one remembers who brought them out of bondage and NOT to sell out to satan. These are very humbling beginnings physically speaking. No place to call a home. In the Wilderness with the wolves, foxes, hyenas, jackals, etc. These are all characteristics of people without God. Like inhuman animals. The apple of God's eye = to cherish.

11As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings:

Now notice something here, they don't carry them on their wings. The wings means the source. As if you were sitting in a helicopter per say. An eagle without wings is no good for their role supposed to carry out. Just as a sitting helicopter does no one any good (not being used).

Some characteristics of an Eagle and there newborn:

As God is recapping the birth of a nation. There legs are wobbly, they cannot carry there weight. There eyes are partially closed. They are totally dependent upon their parents. The parents literally force the young to eat. Unlike people, the young eagle begins to stand on it's on 2 feet after 4 weeks. Of course, the eagle fly's and glides gracefully soaring through the air, being protected from the damage done on Earth and they are not apart of it (so it will be here in the end-times).

Overall, the Lord carrying us no falling allowed, pride comes before a fall (no trusting in self to accomplish).

Lastly, no nation can stand without God leading them. This is quite evident. Idolatry has always been the downfall of every nation no matter how big. Which is why the tribes are scattered now until Christ comes back.


Let's take a look at Revelation 12 now. The setting: satan (with the fallen angels) cast out of Heaven for the woe trumpets and brings the flood of lies (like the days of Noah). satan then claims to be Christ/God and the tribulation begins. Revelation 12 is also a overview of HIStory. The "forest for the trees."


(Revelation 12:14-16) "And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.

Here it is. Wilderness = the world. Just as Abraham right from the beginning was a "stranger" to the world. But no stranger with the Lord. That is all that matters. Notice the Lord as an eagle. No shocker that the most of the tribes of Israel are in America now, and America's great symbol the bald eagle. As the great seal. Food for thought. God's elect are being sealed here. Also, endangered and becoming extinct just as the memory of the tribes of Israel. What an awesome parallel this is?

Now that is a testimony against them, how? They are going great lengths to save the bald eagle, but could care less about the Lord's people. As it is written in the end-times they are without natural affection. Saving the bald eagle is great. But should have done the other first without leaving that undone (y).

This generation. A backwards people for sure. A children without faith.

(Deuteronomy 32:20) "And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be: for they are a very froward generation, children in whom is no faith." This is the transfer verse by the way. Where it goes from the overview of Israel's HIStory to this the end-times generation.

Time, and times, and half a time: a later direct study on that. This is the shortened time for the sake of the elect. This is in direct reference to Daniel 7:25-26. The dividing up of the trumpets and the time period. Woe to the inhabiters on earth. The woe trumpets.

Back to Revelation 12:15,

15And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.


The flood of lies. Written up and down God's Word. (Some references; Daniel 11:22-25; Matthew 24:37-39.


Here is another reference:

(Isaiah 54:9) "For this is as the waters of Noah unto me: for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee.

(This of course the tribulation and satan's flood of lies).

10For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the LORD that hath mercy on thee."

(This is of course Christ' second coming).

Back to Revelation 12:16,

16And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth"

(We are to be wiser than the serpent. How we operate in the world, i.e. what is called street smarts now if you will. Yes, the Lord protected and gives the know how to use the resources of the earth (as they did in the desert, no complaining allowed).

All wisdom comes from the Lord, and Christians are the smartest people on earth. The only thing sharper than a kenite is God's elect, true Christians. We trust in Him and use our brain, doing something. Some say use the brain the Lord gave you (y)


Back to Deuteronomy 32:12,

12So the LORD alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him."

(No idolatry. This in preparation for us during the tribulation in total dependency on Him. And of course, Christians support other Christians above all what is needed).

Idolatry and trusting in the things of the world first: Them things that are made with the materials God created. They cannot save anyone. Some would say this refers to the Israelite's in the desert, but it's not as they did have strange God's as well. This goes back before because we just discussed the tribe beginning specific when the nations were divided in Genesis 10 in the previous 3 verses. From Adam to Genesis 10.

(This is talking right after that about the humble beginnings of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The very beginning foundation. The next verses we get to Israel when they came to the land of Israel. This is about a people above all, not a piece of land).


Amen †

Deuteronomy 32; Verses 6-9; The Song of Moses (cont)

Thank you for taking a look †

The song of Moses. An overview of the HIStory of the people of Israel for them. And for the nations as well to be included through Christ making up the body of Christ. Both are to look at it, reflect upon it here for the end-times and trust in the Lord. When we get to verse 20 we get the transfer from the HIStory outline to present day and the mark of the beast.

For those who overcome satan, the one world system, and satan claiming to be Christ/God (the evil godhead/trinity). Victory over the mark of the beast (Revelation 15:2-4).

(Deuteronomy 32:6-8) "Do ye thus requite (repay) the LORD, O foolish people and unwise? is not he thy father that hath bought thee? hath he not made thee, and established thee?

Requite, like to make repayment for damages. Who says I'm going to sue God?

(He bought and brought the Children of Israel, and set them in place. He brought them salvation through the Lord Jesus Christ. You gonna blame God for damages done? God is saying HE is the maker, not man. We have no complaints, no charges against Him. He is saying consider the first bondage in Egypt. Well, the people were in bondage to an idolatrous dictatorship--Pharaoh. And so are we before salvation).

7Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask thy father, and he will shew thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee.

(Here you have it. Go way back, consider all the way back to Adam. As through Adam came Seth, to Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, the 12 tribes, King David on down to the Lord Jesus Christ, the Disciples/Apostles to today. Don't know it? God is saying, you better ask somebody who does. Man has largely forgotten the tribes of Israel. Through time, intermixing, migrations and the failure of sound Biblical teaching has done it. Allowing for the wrong people to be called God's chosen. The tribes are scattered and in two houses of course until Christ comes back. They are NOT in the land of Israel now).

8When the most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel."

So a quick Bible recap as God says to bring it to remembrance:

(Here you have it. All the way back to Adam (not Abraham). We are to go back all the way to Genesis 3 here. How is this significant? A: What happened in the garden of Eden. Looking at who the sons of Adam (Eve as well of course), and who the off spring of the serpent are. The Christ hating venom they spew and we will see that to the fullest as we get to present day past verse 20).

(Remember Moses is prophesying here for us before the boundaries were even set. The land allotments and boundaries are found in Joshua 17-21. What else do we see here? The dividing of the nations (Genesis 10) was for All people's benefit beginning with the tribes of Israel and the ethnos (ethnic) people's benefit. Why? The Word of God had to come from and of Israel for the savior to come and God's plan for man's salvation to the World. This is up and down the Bible of course).


9For the LORD'S portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance."

(His people make Him happy. When they are doing His will. He is proud of them. Contrary to some false preachers who say, "God does not need you." He does more than need. He wants you first. Them preachers need to get off their hateful holy high horse. God created this Earth to be inhabited, and in the end to those who love them, they inherit the Earth. Just as He loved them. Bringing Himself as the savior, and LORD).


Amen †

Revelation 10; Verses 4-7; The 7th Trumpet; The Oath of the Lord; Completion

Thank you for taking a look †

Remember, we're between trumpets 6 and 7 still here, a pause in the action, if you will. Here's another angle showing the absolute emphasis and importance of this time period. The "forest for the trees" are seen here. Then we go back into the details, and the Lord not only gives us detail but outlines them for us.

(Revelation 10:4-7) 4"And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.

(In other words, we're not finished yet John, as in verse 11 the Apostle John had to prophesy/teach the rest. Essentially, we have 12 more chapters. Thunder--what comes before thunder? Lightning does.)

(Luke 17:24) "For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day."

(The sound of speed is 767mph. The speed of lightning 671 million mph. So, while reading the story, it may seem slow, but the action is simultaneous at Christ' coming. It is bang/bang.)

Back to Revelation 10:5,

5And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,

Also, why we learn the Song of Moses for the end-times. As those who overcome will be singing it.

(Deuteronomy 32:40) "For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live for ever."

(Deuteronomy 32:43) "Rejoice, O ye nations, with his people: for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful unto his land, and to his people."

Back to Revelation 10:6,

6And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:

(For God's elect. The angel of the LORD (overlooking the whole planet) whom the LORD sent here is raising His hand in oath that God's wrath will surely come to pass. So much so that God took a pause and inserted this into what we call chapter 10 of Revelation. See the reference below for what this is to mean God's people.)

7But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets."(Where? The Old Testament. Woe to those who call themselves teachers and do not teach it. As we see here one in many from the Song of Moses).

Some cross references:

(This is of course the 7th trumpet. What days is that? It is the generation of the parable of the fig tree which is the biggest benchmark Christ gave us. That generation began in 1948, with sign after sign Christ gave us in Matthew 24; Mark 13; Luke 21.)

(Revelation 11:15) "The seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, which said: “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah, and he will reign for ever and ever.”

(This is why it's also called a mystery in I Corinthians 15:51-52.)

(I Corinthians 15:51-52) "Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

(It's not a mystery if you're a Christian. Even still, this resurrection may surely be something we've never experienced before. However, in a sense we have as repentant sinners with a change in heart and mind (going from death to life) and knowing the LORD can accomplish anything. Remember, the Kingdom of Heaven begins within you.)

52In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed."

(Check this out. Here is why God is the author of everything you know or don't know in life. The average human blinks an eye at 300-400 milliseconds. That is 783 mph which is about the same as the speed of sound.)

(The last trump means the furthest one out. The 7th trumpet in Revelation 11:15 is that last trump and is the same trumpet as in I Thessalonians 4:13-18. Matthew 24; Mark 13; Luke 21 among others). The first resurrection is also in Revelation 20:4-6. Revelation 18 and is the fall of Babylon; Revelation 19 and 20 contain the details and happenings in Christ's coming.)

Remember, in I Thessalonians 4:17 He is coming with clouds--that is the cloud of witnesses. Also, refer to Daniel 7:13; Mark 13; Revelation 1:7 among many other references. It is clear there is no rapture/pre-trib rapture.

Reference:

(Hebrews 6:16-18) "For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife.

(People are adamant and very emphatic when it comes to swearing, an oath. For example now you would hear many things like I swear on my mother's grave from people, etc).

17Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath:

18That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us."
(Therefore, how much more with the Lord who will not and cannot lie)!


Amen. †

Matthew 10; Verses; 32-33; True Confession

Thank you for taking a look. †

(Matthew 10:32-33) "Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.

All things in life prepare us for the coming of antichrist. Confession does not mean a one time occurrence (once in awhile), like a social media graphic saying, "the Bible says if I confess Jesus, God is recognizing me; I'm a Christian."

("Confess" in the Greek (original language) means to profess in agreement with Christ, all of scripture, to worship and declare Christ. The social media graphics are fine, but let's fully know what it means and not do these things in vain. Let's live it while learning the WORD and applying it to/in our lives. Also, true confession does not mean making some confession in front of a priest to be "absolved" and back out living the same way. If Christ is not changing the heart and mind through belief and repentance (over sin and the results of it), then the cross has no effect on that person by their own choosing.)

With that being said, Christ gives us this certainty of knowing when satan is here, we stand strong through and for Him. Not only did He stand for us at the cross, but He is standing for and with us now; He will still do so when satan is here. God promises us in scripture: "He will never leave you nor forsake you." This is why Christ teaches us this in the middle of instructing us; it is also the difference between His peace and satan's false peace. Remember, satan is coming to have you bow to him.

33But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven."

Logically, the word deny is used here as the direct opposite of confess. This is not referring to a denial on a whim at a moment's notice (although that would be someone falling, in huge danger (which is discussed more in other places in scripture and is not the implication here). Here the denying means to reject Christ, refusing Him in pride. When you do so, you're all alone in the darkness. A wise person would never do so. Those who deny Him want nothing do with their creator, and they have free will to make that decision. Choosing to reject Him brings to fruition your worst nightmares turned reality. If you decide you don't want Him, that is your choice. Even though some may not admit it, everyone wants Heaven. Most just want to do it their own way, even though Christ showed us the only way:

(John 14:6) "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."

Amen. †

Matthew 11; Verses 12-15; True Peace; John the Baptist (cont)

(Matthew 11:12-15) "And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.

(This is that faulty human error of thinking in that peace can come by force and war, which is exactly how satan comes in releasing a seemingly temporary doom of the world by war. For instance, a boxer spends about 12 rounds in a ring getting beaten up, and when the fight is over he gets to rest. However, that does not mean he has peace of mind).


(We have the wars and rumors of wars coming to a climax, and the opposite which is satan's message as the false Christ/God, seemingly relieving the pain of the wars/rumors of wars and claiming to be the world's savior with world peace. Reference: Matthew 24:6-8; 14. Verse 14 shows the moment satan claims to be Christ/God).



Let's check out part of Daniel here--what God of forces means--not the same force as above.



(Daniel 11:38) "But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things."


(The force here is of the world, human protection, a "humanitarian" force in a sense. This deception is what causes people to bow to satan. Remember, Christ overcame satan and the world while showing us the way to get it done through Him. Obviously, bringing peace in by war and force is false peace. The human heart and mind does not change according to God. This is found ALL throughout history with idol worshipers who choose to do things without God. Not to mention, this is the quran/koran to a T because they bring in the 12th mahdi by forcing war. In the same way, satan's message is world peace right there from Jerusalem (Luke 11:20), just as the 12th mahdi is to bring peace on Earth. No need to wonder how most end up bowing to satan because we just illustrated it right there.)



Back to Matthew 11:13,



13For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.



(Basically, what God's Word comes down to in the positive is His law and the first and second comings of Christ. In the negative there is satan's side and those who follow him).



John the Baptist lived the law and testified of Christ to come right after him. The importance of this is also seen when noting that the land of Judea had not seen a prophet for 400 years. It is by no coincidence either that this is the same amount of time Israel's (Jacob) offspring spent in Egypt. Pretty amazing, isn't it!



14And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come.



(In Luke we learn what is meant here just below. John the Baptist is not Elijah himself, obviously. He came in the Spirit of Elijah, but Christ is continuing to show the importance of John's work. This is very important when you see that Christ makes this point to show how John helped pave the way for the New Testament/covenant).

(Luke 1:17) "And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord."


This means preparing them to accept Christ (all those that would). For any seed to penetrate, the soil must be softened, tilled, and "stirred up."



15He that hath ears to hear, let him hear."


Ears to hear is always in a spiritual sense. Every time Christ says this, it's time to really pay attention. Clearly, we must pay attention to the importance of John the Baptist's work for the Lord.


Amen. †

Matthew 11; Verses 7-11; John the Baptist (cont)

Thank you for taking a look. †

(Matthew 11:7-11) "And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?

(Christ wanted everyone to know exactly who John the Baptist was, solidifying who Christ was and is through prophecy. Wilderness here means out in the desert near the Jordan River. Reed shaken with the wind = back and forth, back and forth (double-minded), not solid in doctrine/God's Word.)

Why is Christ doing this? We find the answer by recalling the talk of John the Baptist from the previous post. John was in prison and wanted reassurance. We can gather people must have been asking questions, and because of such, Christ wants all to know exactly who John is. Please note, there was not any back and forth in doctrine from John the Baptist.

8But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings' houses.

Christ is referring to the toughness/mental toughness of John the Baptist. You did not see him living it up in the lap of luxury. This gives us a clear picture of the humility in and of John's ministry, and it also points out the way Christ came in (lowly and humble).

Soft clothing in the kings' houses refers to the kings around them as well as those rich with ill-gotten gains--lovers of money--pharisees and sadducees.

John the Baptist wore:

(Matthew 3:4-6) "And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey.

5Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round about Jordan,

6And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins."

Back to Matthew 11:9,

9But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet.

10For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.

(Prophecy is fulfilled here from Malachi, Chapter 3.)

Here we can draw the distinctions as mentioned above. John was no more special than anyone else but was high in rank in that he played a very special role in announcing the coming of the Messiah. This is why Christ gave us the reference in verse 8 for kings. John the Baptist was paving the way for THE KING!

In the next verse, Christ shows us that rank and clarifies what it means:

11"Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he."

(Christ always gives that humbling statement when dealing with importance. For the sake of staying a servant with a servant mentality and attitude, don't let it get to your head.)

Very important: I also want to point why Christ said "born of women"? He made that distinction because satan and the fallen angels (and the Lord's angels) were not and never will be born of women. Also note that Christ is referencing heaven here. Angels are always known as servants (which includes the Lord's messengers). This is why Christ made the point that John the Baptist was a messenger for the Lord that was born of woman (umbilical cord).

Amen. †
