Colossians 3; Verses 22-25; Serving (Mentality) Christ for our Father vs. Self-Serving/Selfish Ambition

Serving Christ vs. Self-Serving/Selfish Ambition

Thank you for taking a look †

To receive anything from God it always and must begin with the heart and the mind follows. Then you can begin to have a heart.

The way of the World is to show others who downed you etc. to show them a thing or two, by "making it", and all while love is claimed (but there is no love in it). This reasoning is not in God's Word in living as a Christian. We serve Christ, not man out of spite. Stop serving man, and enjoy the freedom that is in Christ (and possibly mature as a Christian here). Doing/living out of spite is still a vain attempt to actually please man, but yet doing in spite of others. Serving man is nothing but wasted energy without purpose. The me against the world attitude in perspective in outdoing others out of spite has no room for a Christian. Then a person gets there then what? Let's take a look in Scripture in a case of selfish-ambition:

(Matthew 20:20-21) "Then came to him the mother of Zebedee's children with her sons, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him.

21And he said unto her, What wilt thou? She saith unto him, Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on the left, in thy kingdom."

The result:

(Matthew 20:21) "And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation against the two brethren."

Indignation = Anger out of annoyed here. Yes indeed. They were all followers in Christ left everything of the world behind to do so. Now they want more out of then other ten. Now you could imagine the ultimate pride had entered had Christ approved of it. However,

THE ANSWER:


(Matthew 20:25-28) "But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them.


26But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister;


27And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant:


28Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many."

Power, control, lordship, one upsmanship. "Anything you can do I can do better." Do you really want to live that life? Don't we all say we wish the world was fair? Then it begins with you.


Everyone has been told by someone they can't do this, can't do that 100 times over. Even so, as a Christian the motivation has to be for our Father through Christ and what He did for us (humble heart, lowered mind where one is not better than the other). If one wants love (to begin with), to stay in love this is the ONLY way.

We serve Christ, pleasing the Father if man comes across that man needs to pay attention. So, that they may stop being self-serving. What you find with people that cannot be pleased is they want more out of people than God actually (might as well have their own personal slave whip for the whipping boys and girls). This is where you cannot "win" either way. These people need to repent, and good repenting they must do. You DO NOT impose guilt and shame (shame is the result of guilt) on people where God does not.  Where does the law of God hang, and even being in His will?

(Matthew 7:12) "Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets."

(Matthew 12:7) "But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless."

(The overall point here it was the Sabbath Day. That is to do good (righteousness, doing right), the overall point remains as a Christian. Always do good. How bad is this? So and so person is sacrificing with all their heart and mind but it's not good for the other person. This is evil. Where does mercy come from? Compassion of the cross giving us THE GIFT of God, and grace is received. (Mercy is the release from judgment that was the cross).



Had they know God's Will, and see a person trying in sincerity that would be acceptable as it is with God. Overall, we see lots of varying motivations to do certain things. None are pleasing to God except that to be motivated to do the will of the Father thus HIS will. Of course, they know what is best for everyone else, and have the answers. Right in their own eyes. Even this kind of message infuriates them so at odds with God. They have set up to be their own little gods.

Finally,

A little analogy (but you can apply whatever your occupation as well) is imagine being a waiter or waitress (a server) you do a good job, but the people still have complaints. Not Christ, you put your all in HE rewards and looks at effort, the motives of the heart.You may have dropped a cup, He says okay, let's get moving. You see this is the line where man looks at the physical but the LORD looks at the heart. Pure motives finding no fault (the inside of the cup). Don't let man. The people left no tip, the reward is in Heaven. That is what Christ teaches at these points of rejection from man. (Matthew 5:10-12; 5:46-48). Don't let what others serve and dish out affect what you serve and dish out.

(Colossians 3:22-25) "Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God:

23And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;

24Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.

25But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons."

(A person wants peace of mind, then serving Christ is where it begins (John 8; Matthew 11:28-30; transfer of the yoke of bondage to Christ working as a team, another amazing analogy).


And when you have Christ in the middle, you can always meet in the middle.

Matthew 14; Verses 34-36; Garment of Salvation

Finishing up Matthew 14. Short but speaking volumes and rich also. Thank you for taking a look †

(Matthew 14:34-36) "And when they were gone over, they came into the land of Gennesaret.


Back to the stomping grounds (pun intended towards satan the serpent) where Christ spent most of His time. All the cities around the sea and surrounding areas. Where up to this time Christ had gained all His popularity. We also get a view of the same days in John 6. We learn after of the feeding of the 5,000 they followed him. That crowd an estimated 20,000).

(As word gets around the lake quickly as He spread the news. So after word of mouth got around we could say Christ was on full fire here. This would of been a little northwest of that location. We're talking about all within about a 16-20 mile proximity, all the cities/towns surrounding the sea of Galilee).

35And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all that country round about, and brought unto him all that were diseased;

(They knew He was back. We have a huge crowd here. From all surrounding areas. Maybe you could possibly even saying double that of the estimated 20,000. So Christ all time high in popularity here. In John 6 He taught in the Word here. Spiritual lessons then came with the reality. He wanted serious followers after this. All this was to teach who would be serious and who not. As many were around just for the fish sand which).

Let's take a look:

(John 6:26-27) "Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled.

(They wanted a free handout physically. The only thing they wanted to touch was physical food. We are to look deep why we're in this. No matter what it is. Is it for something we can get? Get out out of someone? Feel good for a moment with our bellies warm? Point is after a good physical meals comes temporary contentment. Just like living by feelings, and not faith. We are to have that spiritual contentment and satisfaction first. The true blessing). 

27Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed."

(Don't put your blood, sweat, and tears in that which comes and goes. We brought nothing into this world and can take nothing out. But what does comes out is people, and their eternity. Spiritually first. Point is we should be doing both. We can help the homeless, feed people but without this reality of truth it is not helping. The goal to make fishers of men, as God is the giver all of wisdom at salvation. Christ also gave the desert reference concerning Moses and the Manna here. How is that significant? Those who followed Him it was from the feeding. This is how the Word of God comes to life for a person. Relating the physical and the physical surrounding to what we need spiritually first taking it in).

Reference of that (desert place, a less fruitful place).

(Matthew 14:13-14) "When Jesus heard of it, he departed thence by ship into a desert place apart: and when the people had heard thereof, they followed him on foot out of the cities.

14And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick."

To Matthew 14:36,

36And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole."

(So we learn here they continued on. They were not saying give, give, give. Selfish me. They are coming in faith so they will be completely healed. The garment representative of the garment of salvation. That same garment we keep on through out and not removing it for satan when he comes to claim to be Christ).

Overall point is do not touch satan, he has no garment for you. No protection. Nothing to stay warm. But cold and dark (outer darkness) on the outside looking in when Christ comes back.

Let's take a further look:

(Matthew 22:11-13) "And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:

12And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.

13Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

We stay in the field (the world) laboring, working (NO RAPTURE/PRE TRIB RAPTURE) With them garments on fully clothed: As we have put up recently the full picture here is to be out in the cold harvested out of the season with no clothes. Now try that physically, you are getting indecent exposure. As we will see below this exactly what happens.

(Mark 13:16) "And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment."

(Matthew 24:18) "Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes."

(Let's take a look at direct reference in Revelation 16. The 6th vial when satan claims to be Christ).

(Revelation 16:15) "Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame."

Indecent exposure:

(Shame, because you would not be clothed here. Removing that garment for satan, caught red-handed when Christ comes. They see his shame? That is all. We can either believe/repent now and bring it to light, or it's coming whether one likes it or not. No one escapes. Not those who worshiped satan as Christ/God. Remember why? satan is coming with the promise of all the physical things of the world in exchange for him).

Are we trying to alter the garment/clothes for the Gospel to fit our lives? Or THE LORD doing the fitting for us and clothing us? He has it "tailored" perfectly.

This is why Christ also taught in Matthew 6. Where we lay up our treasures and not where moths destroy/perish. That which is pure. All in one from every point in 3 verse here from Isaiah 51.

(Isaiah 51:6-8) "Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.

7Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings.

8For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool: but my righteousness shall be for ever, and my salvation from generation to generation."

Finally, to Isaiah 61. This is speaking of Christ second coming, as well. The marriage supper, the Millennium and on through eternity all inclusive.

(Isaiah 61:10) "I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels."

(Meeting, reuniting in person Christ' second coming. Envision this as seeing a long lost love running in the "field" to each other. This is why the LORD does the like. The most beautiful of pictures we can relate to, every human being longs for.

(That is before they turn bad. The simple things in life. So when we put it all together they in the end. They cheated on their spouse and have the "gall" to say I want in with no remorse, not even sorry. Not sorry for selling Christ out and other people).

We'll leave it there.

Amen †

Revelation 17 Verese 15-16; Genesis 6; Live by the Flesh Get Burned by the Flesh; Message to Christians who don't live it and the Rest

Live by the flesh get burned by the flesh and die by the flesh. If one was living by the flesh they have no one to blame but themselves. No self-pity until you repent and change your desires. If this message is not love you don't know what love is. Learning the story of Ahab and Jezebel is huge in relation here. Dime a dozen. You want to be that rare gem/coin. Especially that rage coin who Christ found in response sincerely. Luke 15.


(Revelation 17:15-16) "And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.

(The whore as in selling out, not faithful and loyal, self. Babylon they are in confusion from mixing the world and the ways of the world with Christianity. Back and forth they go in their minds. Here they have already believed and then worship satan as Christ/God taking the mark of the beast in their minds, beginning with having no heart).

16And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire."

(satan with these ten kings here that are fallen angels are coming to fulfill all the desires of the flesh first. Giving and taking in marriage, relationship hoppers, no loyalty, word means nothing. That is what they did last time in Genesis 6).


(Genesis 6:2-3) "That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.


(The fallen angels. Giving and taking here. Sex, sex, sex. This relationship to that relationship. Sure they wanted love to, but don't know what it takes. What it takes is God and His Word, to which they failed. The fallen angels will also certainly be doing the same to men barring childbirth. Don't look at me, straight up. Come around me with gay stuff you're sent packing. Am I being little hard here? Not enough imo. You got it. Man up little girls. Stop being such pansies. Maybe I need to get a little more graphic in your shameful desires? What's that going to take? Believe and repent and get over yourself. That's fine be a homosexual. But don't call yourself a Christian saying it's right. You're not one. Oh and for the who are you to judgers? You're already judged. Already condemned. It is up to you to come to the light John 3:16-21. Yes, I'm aware you have heard a false Gospel preached in this country. One that does not change the heart and mind. It is still your responsibility. You answer for yourself).


Oh and for saying Christians are the homophobes groupies? That is your problem. You have been brainwashed into a psychological cancer. If there was fear your butts would not be getting corrected right now. I care nothing what a man thinks about me. Now you have many questions to ask yourself concerning looking at God's Word. Don't look at me.


Women, way it is. Stop putting blame on guys when you try and use the power of seduction and what is between your legs. It is evil. Matter of fact this is Biblically the woman's responsibility towards men. You say you're looking for "love." But yet, look what you're asking to attract then blame the guy. When does the responsibility lie on you? satan and the fallen angels have that thinking hook, line, and sinker when they come. We see it now both sides. What has become known as the "player's game." Get out of the life. Destroying one's self. You will never find fulfillment living that. This goes for both sides looking at each other as usury sex objects. Everything said goes for both sides, but what is said here lies in the tendency of each sex.


I'm really trying to cover all bases here.


3And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years."
(What's that it strives with? The flesh).


Instead of the grass greener on the other side. Should be desiring that green pasture. True love. Once you have it, then you can only give it.


(Psalm 23:1-6) "The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

2He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

3He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

4Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

(There is it right there. You need to stop walking through the valley of truthophobe. No fear, matter of fact you are weak. I would never fear a weak man).


5Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

6Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever."

Where can I read about satan coming with the fallen angels just like it was in the days of Noah? Good question. A:


(Revelation 12:7-9) "And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,

8And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.

9And 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."
satan and the fallen angels coming with the flood of lies of course.


(Matthew 24:37-39) "But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

38For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,

39And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be."

WAY IT IS, WAY IT'S GOING TO BE. Get over yourselves. Believe and repent. It is always important to note we in the political beast and they have been duped by politics and philosophy and the education dynasties. They call themselves Christians and that is the deception out there, then of course they deny it. They have to keep up the act of course. No love in them. That ends when stop the path of pathological liar to belief/repentance and grace through faith. These are simple truths.


What's it going to take?


I know repentance comes when you look deep down at your beliefs and true longings. But then they are denied, living in denial. When you see your actions don't match then you see your own hypocrisy. I can't do it for you. But I'm sure helping you now. I want to see no one bow to satan, he is coming to burn you and burn you bad. 6th degree burn.

Matthew 10; Verses 37-39; True Love; Agape & Phileo Contrast

Thank you for taking a look †

(Matthew 10:37-39) "He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

Where true love and protection begins:


(True love begins at the cross. The cross is what begins to protect us in life, and protect us from ALL evil. Naturally, love begins there. Phileo and agape love are the two loves used here so we'll compare and contrast the two).

(Agape is sacrificial love basically. agape love is will and not feelings first. Therefore, naturally instilled when one goes to the cross (picking it up) and responds (walking with it following Christ). Christ love towards us on the cross, giving up His life for us, in turn Christian lay down their will and life for Christ and the sake of the Gospel. That's why Christians have agape love for all men, and good will towards them (sacrificing for Christ saying no to self). Good will is not just a fuzzy feeling everyone gets. We're certainly aware every human being gets the warm, fuzzy feelings to change the world, but they cannot give up their will in doing so. That ends at the cross).

(That is why Christ gives us the cross reference in the next verse... how to exhibit agape love. How amazing is that? The perfect plan of the Lord to live for Him first, keep His law, thus be in His will. If man does not count it as love, then it's time to learn reality and life. Christianity is reality).

Here, in these verses it is Phileo love being used because in context the comparison is family.

Phileo love = brotherly love. Hence, Philadelphia the city of brotherly love... at least in theory it is. Brotherly love is never shown to our enemies through Scripture. Hence, brotherly love = the brethren. Christian to Christian. That's why Christians call each brother and/or sister. The love putting themselves aside and protecting (Holy Spiritual) the brethren. Just as Christ laid down His life with passion. Passion for His bride. The love of Christ naturally, supernaturally, instilled in them. Pretty amazing!

38And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.

(Not worthy = not worth their weight, like not worth their weight in salt. We're to be the salt of the earth).

Christ went to the cross physically, we do it in heart and mind. Notice: we take it up where He paid the price for sin, changing our ways at repentance/salvation. Then walking on. Growing in the word, the MEAT of the Word. Not on the milk-- that is the salvation message. Refer to Hebrews chapters 5 and 6 as well).

(Matthew 5:13) "Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men."

...And of course meat without salt  (being preserved with no flavor) is good for nothing, and man rules over you, not God. The goal? To get to the meat--staying salty; preserved; taste; and when eaten and digested then creating a thirst for others. So salt-tenderized meat is a beneficial 3-course meal here.

Back to Matthew 10:39,

39He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it."

(That is where we find the Father through Christ, putting us aside, our own will. Beginning to have that agape love).

This is that agape love here, and Christ showing us the highest and ultimate in love. He did it for us, and we do it in return to Him, then people. That covers the first two commandments right there.

(John 15:13) "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends."

How do we stay in true love? Can we just say grace and use it for an excuse to sin and claim love? NO. Grace should leave a person wanting to keep God's law following and serving Christ... just as He kept the law (being our sinless sacrifice) in that sacrificial agape love.

And perfect (complete) love casts out fear. The love for our Father through Christ comes first. Casting out is "to have in one's hand" and "throw it away". Fear has torment because it belongs to Satan and his evil spirits/messengers. Torment is to have fear of the punishment and penalty, just as it is written in John 3:16-21; we as Christians are no longer condemned and are not given a spirit of fear. Now we can truly love the Lord, and people. The royal law.

(John 14:5) "If ye love me, keep my commandments."

(John 15:10) "If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love."

(Just like the love of Christ is to protect from sin/harm, Satan, and evil spirits/messengers, so it is to have that love of Christ towards others. It's called agape love, and the world ought to start trying it. Until then the world cannot relate. This love is the beginning of living by the spiritual, and spiritual terms, as opposed to living by the World, and on the World's terms).

True love is also to protect from harm, as well as to keep (observe) Christ's commandments.

Naturally, when we learn these two definitions of love, our world-view and perspective will change. This means viewing people as God's creation ...rather than some expendable by-chance by-product of abiogenesis and evolution (which is complete and utter unintellectual nonsense).

Revelation 20; Verses 7-9; End of the Millennium (1,000 Year Reign of Christ) (cont)

Continuing on in the Millennium. The 1,000 year reign of Christ, a time of teaching and discipline. Revelation chapter 20.


Thank you for taking a look †


(Revelation 20:7-9) "And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,


(The end of the Millennium, satan is unbound from his strait jacket (if you will), and out of prison he is released, all while being watched. Now this has to be quite degrading considering he was the highest angel in rank before his rebellion. You think he's nuts now, wait till this day).

8And shall go out to deceive (cause to stray) the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth,
Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.


(Now satan is himself here. Meaning he will not be testing them disguised as anything (serpent, angel of light, antichrist, son of perdition, claiming to be something he is not basically). Remember 2 of 3 of the evil godhead/trinity were thrown in the Lake of Fire right before the Millennium proceedings began in Revelation 19. Remember, the children of Israel as the sand of the sea as well. We have a seemingly showdown which will not be much of a showdown).

Who is being tested once again? Revelation 20:4-6. Those unbelievers who DID NOT take part in the first resurrection. They go through the Millennium with mortal souls. From the Greek meaning liable to die.

So, God's elect are teaching here in Jerusalem in the land of Israel, and they have already decided to build without the Lord again here. Covering all the earth the conspiracy is on.


All know quite well who satan is here. What do we have here? The nations still here, but it's not Babylon this time. We have a repeat from the day of the Lord. Gog and Magog we know is Russia, but this is the system, commie government that does not want God. So, now we get kind of idea who will be included in the Millennium. As it's written in Isaiah 11, even many muslims (important to know they are Arabs first (Arab is ethnicity, muslim/islam a religion) (Lot's lineage--arabs, Ishmael, sons of Ammon, etc) will obey and make it to the eternity.

Let's take a quick look:

(Isaiah 11:12-14) "And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.
(Christ' second coming. The gathering of the elect. Isaiah focuses on the house of Judah, Ezekiel more the whole House of Israel).

13The envy also of Ephraim shall depart, and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off: Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex Ephraim.

(Joined to one stick. The adversaries of Judah are of course those who call themselves jews and are not--the evil figs that claim to be God's chosen in the land of Israel right now. The offspring of the serpent. Ephraim envies here because of those of Judah who live in the land of Israel. Their homeland. As it is most Christians want to be in and walk the land their savior and Lord has, and will again soon).

14But they shall fly upon the shoulders of the Philistines toward the west; they shall spoil them of the east together: they shall lay their hand upon Edom and Moab; and the children of Ammon shall obey them.

(Lot's lineage here, arabs. That laying down the hand is the judges we seen from the previous post, that right hand.God's elect hand out the justice through Christ, God's Word; Revelation 20:4. And many of them will make it as we see. God showing every direction here even beyond these west and east).


Continuing on: You have to be just pure rotten evil to the core after knowing Christ is God here, and bowing to Him. Being taught ALL God's Word in the Millennium. Then the moment satan shows up as himself follow him again. This will be the 3rd time as well going back to the first age following satan, from where he started the rebellion against the Lord. Conspiring once again to destroy good and God's elect. Three strikes your out. Thanks for wasting our time, but they choose the lake of fire in the end. What more can you say?


9And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them."

Circled them about. The city is of course Jerusalem where they will be teaching from during the Millennium. That's that, epic failure again! The word devoured here is used in the sense of being stripped of their evil goods for works to be used to try and destroy God's elect (the saints) here. As we will see in the next post they stand in front of the JUDGE, at the Great White Throne Judgment).

Next post, the eternal judgment at the Great White Throne Judgment (No one is or has been judged yet to the lake of fire). Only satan by name and the fallen angels covering all them are going to the lake of fire as of now. Currently, Christian believers are on the good side of the gulf. Unbeliever/the wicked on the bad side of the gulf. Those who did not believe and repent. (Luke 16:19-31; I Peter 3:18-19 a couple references to look up).

The best detailed look at Millennium proceedings is Ezekiel 44.



Amen†

Matthew 14; Verses 22-27; Overcoming THE Storm and Flood Waters (Part one)

Thank you for taking a look †

(Matthew 14:22-27) "And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.


(This is a type exactly for the end-times as well. The Mountains represent the nations and the sea is the people with Babylon over them. Babylon inhabitants are those who believe then worship satan as Christ/God).

How amazing and the depth God teaches both of His comings in one.

(As we are to wait on Christ here in the end-times just like it was in the days of Noah as they entered the ark).

23And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.

(Notice once again evening, later on here. As the last parallel for us was in the evening as well).


24But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary.


(We also see this in James 1 about being double-minded. That comes from doubt of course, then leading to fear and worry. Being tossed back and forth. Christ showing is we are to keep calm during the tribulation. He foretold us all things. The sea tossing around representing the waters and Babylon Revelation 17:15; Luke 21:25-26).

(Luke 21:25-26) "And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken."

(Love and full trust in Christ' Words is a relationship. Do you trust Him)?

(James 1:6-8) "But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.

7For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.

8A double minded man is unstable in all his ways."

(No stability. I mean this is just common sense. If you don't believe God can do it then it won't come. Just like anything in life. If your heart and mind is not in it don't expect results. If you don't think you can make the end result, the finish line you won't. This goes for doctrine as well. Faith and trust in Christ and His Words).

Let's take a look this exactly from Luke 21 in direct type and parallel:

(Luke 21:25-28) "And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
(Love and full trust in Christ' Words is a relationship. Do you trust Him)?

(The spiritual weather conditions leading to the physical. The sea and waves roaring also in combination with Psalm 2 and Revelation 11:18 among many others. The nations are angry, men are vicious. As it turns out money does not buy happiness, not anything of the flesh first).

26Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

(Because they do no not know what is coming. They are not sealed with the truth).

27And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

28And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh."


(What things come to pass? This back from verse 20 when satan begins to claim to be Christ/God. Don't look down, look up be of good cheer. No kicking ourselves either).

To Matthew 14:25,

25And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.

(This is to early dawn, 3am to 6am. This is an example of Christ coming and being the light. Remember He explains His coming being between 2nd and 3rd watch. In between is a midnight when the thief comes, to those not watching. Point is you want to wait from dusk till dawn when satan comes in the world's darkest hour, the days of the Great tribulation. What it means, what it covers. The hour of temptation. In the midst of all the darkness in the world Christ is going be that light we see coming from that distance. But coming as the speed of the light. Not like some earthly ship as it were to come save some ship in trouble, taking longer than usual).


Let's take a look:

(Luke 12:37-38) "Blessed 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.

38And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants."

(And so it is).

To Matthew 14:26,

26And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.

(They never seen anything like it. Just like we won't see anything like it at Christ' second coming, and we're turned into out spiritual bodies).


27But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid."

(He comes to save the "day." Keep your heads up for your redemption draws near. Justice is coming with that rod of iron from Christ to rule the nations, the mountains. Remember, they want the mountains to fell on them. What they tried to build comes crumbling down right back on them for wanting a world without the LORD, and then worshiping satan as a result from political beat to the one world religious beast. BLESSED ARE YOU WHO CAN SEE THIS).

Let's go to Isaiah 54 to take a look at this for us. We will finish this story in the next post due to length.

(Isaiah 54:9-11) "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.

(With the waters of Babylon and the flood waters, 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.

11O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, behold, I will lay thy stones with fair colours, and lay thy foundations with sapphires.
The troubled days of the great tribulation. The Lord's promise in coming to save the day. Why would you doubt with salvation already. He already came to save on that "day."

Essentially, they want to bring the storm to God's land the world it is coming on them.

(Jeremiah 51:1) "Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will raise up against Babylon, and against them that dwell in the midst of them that rise up against me, a destroying wind."

Stay on watch,

(Jeremiah 51:12-13) "Set up the standard upon the walls of Babylon, make the watch strong, set up the watchmen, prepare the ambushes: for the LORD hath both devised and done that which he spake against the inhabitants of Babylon.

13O thou that dwellest upon many waters, abundant in treasures, thine end is come, and the measure of thy covetousness."

(They bought and sold with the one world currency dirty blood money. What does it? Coveting. The love of the things of the World over the Lord. As they sit like kings and queens in their mind. That is how satan wants to make one feel. Nice warm and cozy with no thought of God).

(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.

(And so it is).

Amen †

Tongues; Short Message on Speaking in Tongues; I Corinthians 14

Message on tongues. Thank you for taking a look †


God approves also of tongues of course. Tongues, meaning languages/dialects (like what tongue do you speak)? were and are to get the Gospel out to all nations by the Disciples. I speak English if I go to Germany I would need an interpreter. No interpreter we cannot have communication. Just that simple. If this was not a gift we'd all be doing it. Some are proud of this very fact, too proud. The first desire should be to teach it correctly, building people up.


I Corinthians 14:2, what does unknown tongue mean? What did Paul say about it? 1) A language your not born with. 2) Unknown to others around.

Once again,

From I Corinthians 14:2 and on, it is a mystery (hidden) unfruitful if no one knows what it means. That person is only speaking to God and only God because of it, because no one else can understand it. That simple, common sense. Watch out for this today, many think they are in the spirit (the Holy Spirit) but speaking babble. What they are really doing is saying they have God's gift and Lording it over people i.e. they have something you cannot have. This is condemnation to others, and very cruel with many questioning salvation because of this.

God is not a time waster and does everything in order, with purpose, and no confusion. The unknown tongue simply means to other people, it is hidden and unknown to them in that sense. If one does this, they need to pray for interpretation just like Paul said. So that people can and will understand God's Word. COMMON SENSE in the Church is what is needed today.

Stop sounding like a "barbarian." That word actually means rude there in I Corinthians 14:11. Yes no manners at all, and extremely rude. If you're influenced by it thinking it's right you are on your road to possession. Way it is, way it will be. Let's respect the LORD and His Word.

Yes, we need to be firm on this truth and stand ground on it. I certainly do not want to see anyone deceived, and deceived when satan comes to claim to be Christ/God.

This just an overview. We will have a verse by verse target study of I Corinthians 14 up soon. But I wanted to post this now. If you think you differ, look me up. Try and prove me wrong. But it better make sense, and be able to explain verse by verse. You will not find anything inconsistent with this message here.

Note: The cloven tongue on Pentecost Day was for all peoples in their particular dialect/language to hear, that is the point. Only God can do that as well. Cloven from the Greek means going out in many directions. It will be this way again when God's elect are delivered up to satan claiming to be Christ/God for a testimony against him, and the one world religious system/new world order.

(Acts 2:3-6) "And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.


4And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.


5And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.


6Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language."

AMEN!!!

Revelation 8; Verses 10-11; Trumpet 3

Continuing on in the 7 trumpets in the awesome book of Revelation. The 3rd trumpet. Thanks for taking a look †

(Revelation 8:10-11) "And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;

Remember the trumpets are spiritual leading to the physical condition. It is not a literal sound but seen by the actions after them. The trumpets are a command to action.

The foolish virgins lamps have went out. The rivers and fountains the source flowing into what will become Babylon.

(This star is not satan himself of course. This is the 3rd trumpet. We're told the interpretation in the next verse. The star is symbolic for satan's influence hearing the wrong Gospel/the good news. How so you ask? The star was burning as it were a lamp--shining. But, it's not then the waters become bitter from hearing the wrong Gospel. Spiritually killing people. This makes 2/3's from the last trumpet who are ready to take the Mark of the beast in/at the 6th seal, at the 6th trumpet, and at the 6th vial. The last 1/3 still need to be convinced after the 6th trumpet, which leads to the 6th vial, with satan claiming to be Christ/God).

Let's take a look at all this:

The 6th trumpet (command to action, it's spiritual which leads to vials/judgment).

(Revelation 9:14) "Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates."

The setting, the 6th trumpet has sounded from the previous verse. This is where satan begins to claim to be Christ/God at the 6th trumpet, and we will go to the last 1/3.


(Revelation 9:18-19) "By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.

19For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt."

(How was that again? their mouths--spiritual. These are satan's "super preachers/false teachers/prophets", Christ talked about over and over again in Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21. Before satan claims to be Christ/God, and after. Like unto serpents).

(Like cold-blooded animals these false preachers are attempting to get the World to worship satan as Christ/God. Their message is likened to the kenites--the off spring of the serpent--satan. More about snakes; They blend into their environment to catch their predators; legless reptiles; Their mouths are full of venom; harmful bacteria. You try and take in that snake and pick it up you get bitten. But here, these snakes are constrictors using that tail to suffocate. This is a slow painful spiritual death as one worships satan as Jesus. This is like the snake having you suffocated but not yet quite finishing the job, letting you suffer,  with their fangs exposed instilling fear in their victim, as the heart is sinking in fear of being eaten alive).

(They claim to be God's chosen people and are not. They are snakes).

Okay, the Biblical analogies seem endless for the serpent. Let's move on:

What does Christ say about our lamps burning (we need olive oil for that--the Holy Spirit) before HIS return?

(Luke 12:35-37) "Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;

(Their lights/lamps have already went out, no truth to stand, which is why see the worry and fear, and their hearts will be failing them for fear. Christ made a way out, they decided to try and remove HIM).

36And 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.

(Cross reference: Matthew 25. Stay a spiritual virgin with the oil. Olive oil, which is to say the Holy Spirit. Remember, they are not allowed to come in. But left outside knocking wanting to come in).

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 serve Christ until He comes back, then He serves those who waited on Him. They did not sit around for some non-existent rapture/pre trib rapture).

The river reference. The correct Christ/the correct Gospel:

(John 7:37-38) "In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.

(The correct gospel quenches that thirst. No famine here. Always flowing. And so should the Word of God when taught correctly. Always flowing correctly).

38He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water."

(Christ is the living water, out source for the water that makes sweet not bitter. Remember Exodus 15:22-27 as well. Brought from the red sea the children of Israel were very thirsty, the waters were bitter. In a type of Christ here:


(Exodus 15:23) "And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter: therefore the name of it was called Marah.

(Exodus 15:25) "And he cried unto the LORD; and the LORD shewed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet: there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them."

So, the rejection of the Gospel and worshiping satan as Christ/God brings the plagues/vials in Revelation 16.

(Exodus 15:26) "And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee."

What was that? The plagues coming soon to come at the vials. When? After the 6th trumpet. Then the 6th vial, and to vial to succession to vial 7 from there. In other words, the vials DO NOT begin until satan claims to be Christ/God. 


Back to Revelation 8:11,

11And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.

(Rivers of course flow into the sea. Which are the people. So the star is symbolic for being bitter, logically satan's influence. Bitterness towards God and then people end at belief/repentance. This is easy to see. Salvation is good will towards people for salvation).

(The spring is the origin of the water. Where does it come from? clean unfiltered spring water? or the filtered man's Gospel in man's traditions? Which is no Gospel at all).

One simple Biblical concept is when a person hears the Gospel/Word of God wrong. They come out twice as worse and bitter than before. That's just common sense. The parable of the sower Matthew 13 explains that well. II Peter chapter 2, among many others.


We have a sincerity problem.

Ephesians 6; Verse 18; Praying; Prayer Requests

Finishing up with the Gospel Armor. Not part of the equipment directly. But indirectly. As without prayer there is no relationship. As with any relationship without communication there is nothing.

Thanks for taking a look †

(Ephesians 6:18) "Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance (adversity) and supplication (request in asking) for all saints."

(Praying--offering to God through the Holy Spirit. Not the flesh wants, or getting the flesh into it. But through the Spirit, the Holy Spirit with our own spirit. Now when getting the flesh into it our requests will naturally be of the flesh. Praying in the Spirit and not the flesh we're also able to confirm God's Will for us).
Vain repetitions where chanting and flesh movement get involved, this is mindlessness telling our very selves the heart is not in it. Why would God answer for our positive?

(The prayer also consists of other Christians, their needs. Keeping an eye on them, protecting them. Through perseverance: steadfastness through adversity. In other words, keep on keeping on--being a can-do type person. We're going right through the trials like walking through fire). 

(This is quite important as the opposite is self-defeat, and giving up. Something we all can relate to. But as we see the vital importance not letting it get there. Prayer here with others brings together, with that touching of the Holy Spirit, closeness, warmth, as the Holy Spirit is the comforter--the heart warmer).

All in all prayer in our communication with our Father through Christ should consist as if we were talking to person right there. But of course, lifting Him on up on High. You don't sit down with someone and start bobbing, knocking, weaving like one is on a boxing match. Chanting back and forth. No, it would be seen as disrespectful. So how much more with THE LORD?



It is very important this is included in the Gospel Armor. In any spiritual attack you want to pray for peace of mind knowing God is in control. Communication with Him does just that.

Amen†

Proverbs 18; Verse 4; Christ Clean Pure Water

Thank you for taking a look †


(Proverbs 18:4) "The words of a man's mouth are as deep waters, and the wellspring (spring, pure, clean water, the source, the source of health) of wisdom as a flowing brook (what comes out)."


(In the Negative sense: Deep waters are very dark, murky, and full of garbage where the bottom-feeders reside. The bottom garbage feeders bury themselves, and do hide).


(Spring water is the purest, cleanest, on Earth--full of natural minerals. Always fresh. God's Word always flowing verse by verse. Even the man-made filtration systems cannot even come close to natural spring water. Putting God's Word in you what comes out will always be flowing quenching others souls. Everyone loves the continual sound of a stream, the beauty, nature in it's pureness, the tapestry in between a bunch of rocks. Always rocky and bitter, hardened).

(So, it is with man's traditions. One verse here, one verse there. Never getting to the Word of God. No one can understand a thing. Never quenching that thirst).

The false teachers: Kind of like bottled water companies selling God's creation, and making billions. So, it is with the false teachers, their not even paying for God's Word--real water!!!

Our words can only be productive when we have that spring of life, the source.

(John 7:37-39) "In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.

(The perfect time to teach a spiritual lesson as Christ always does).

38He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

39But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Spirit was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)


As it is said, garbage in and garbage out. What we take in is what will come out. Do we have a tongue of life or death to others because of the source of our water?

(Isaiah 55:1) "Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price."

(No murky waters here. No dark souls, no bitter. Wine = The blood of Christ. Milk = Salavation, where it all begins and changes. The point here is we cannot buy salvation, we cannot give and give self-justifying ourselves to God. We have to be careful here. Many good people do give to justify their works, it cannot be done my friends. God does not accept money, bribery, buy-offs for your salvation. Christ paid the heaviest price in ransom for that not to be so. Essentially, He bought you with and that cannot have a price, in numbers. Why Scripture never gives a price = Priceless).

(Isaiah 12:2-3) "Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD YHVH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation.

3Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation."


Amen †

Revelation 19; Verses 11-16; Christ' Second Coming To Make War

The pics can never do justice, but we try. In the following verses after this study they want to make with Christ and His followers. Here is the one army you never want to mess with.

Thank you for taking a look †

(Revelation 19:11-16) "And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.


(Faithful and true to His, and His Word. All His promises the second coming here).

(Isaiah 13:4-7) "The 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.

5They come from a far country, from the end of heaven, even the LORD, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land.

6Howl ye; for the day of the LORD is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.

7Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man's heart shall melt:

(The true Christ = authentic. Makes war, be all end all. This is no long-lasting drawn out attempt to conquer on Earth).


Not as the fake satan as antichrist back to the first seal:

(Revelation 6:2) "And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer."

(Let's look at the distinctions here: Christ is coming from heaven, those who pierced will see. Coming from Heaven. The word bow means cheap imitation from the Greek. Your not getting the real deal. In other words Christ has the patent on savior and Lord here. And the following seals show the result of that. Yes, there are false preachers who teach the first seal is the real Christ, and not one will escape at the 7th trumpet. Just as the prophets of Baal and Elijah. You should easily be able to tell by the following condition. Christ does not bring them curses, but blessings).

12His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.


(The wicked can gnash their teeth all they want. Christ is coming with those eyes to bring low. Drop to them knees. Notice not a crown as satan, but MANY crowns distinguishing the differences. For taking back the kingdoms of the this World. Kingdom = King and His dominion. Them burning eyes they won't want to look at).

13And he was clothed with a vesture (garment) dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.


More distinguishing differences. Remember, satan always mimics Christ. The point of the blood of Christ here is for all those who rejected Him to make full realization what they rejected. The word dipped comes from the same word (Greek) used of Judas Iscariot identifying who would betray Him. Why did Judas betray Christ, the motivation? money. Don't sell out to satan, and God's people, being a Judas type. As this is satan's promise in the role of savior, temporary promises to fulfill the lusts of the flesh--of the World. Christ is ALL of the Word--John 1:1-3.


14And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.



The Lord comes with 10,000 of His saints. The Lord's army,


(Jude 1:14-16) "And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,


15To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.


16These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage.

(They curse. No appreciation for God and His blessings. They are also in it for what they can get out of people, sweet-talkers. But no good will towards salvation first for people. Double-speakers, double-minded).


15And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite (cut down) the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.


(satan's kingdom = iron teeth chomping and breaking to pieces, Daniel 7. The real Christ = the mouth with the rod of iron. The sword that cuts to pieces/asunder--when He comes back (Hebrews 4:12-13). They don't want to believe/repent now, they will be forced to do it, exposing for all to see. The wine press of course meaning their pressing, getting that wrong blood out in the blood of Christ what they rejected. No evil in the Millennium, it's purging time in every shape, fashion, and form. Rod of iron, laying it down).

16And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS."


(This covers both: KING AND PRIEST. Tribe of Judah side from Mary's father's side. Tribe of Levi from Mary's mother lineage.  You can walk in and talk to the real King and Priest. No man does it for you. How can one say it's all about relationship but have another man predict their relationship with God? Yes, teachers can confirm through the Word for you. But, a middleman? Go between? intercessor? ABSOLUTELY NOT. Teachers confirm the word, that is THEIR JOB, better be).

Amen †

Matthew 13; Verses 33; Parable--Meal/Leaven

Thank you for taking a look †

(Matthew 13:33) "Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened."

First let's note the whole point of a parable once again is to show both sides spiritually. So they always have a negative and positive side. The whole point is to separate truth from lie.

(A very short parable here, but yet speaks volumes, with much to say. This is all spiritual we know, hence, "the kingdom of heaven." Flesh and blood cannot and do not inherit the kingdom so we cannot be fleshly thinkers when applying the word of God. satan has all that covered when he comes as Christ/God).

But why leaven here? Doesn't leaven represent like an infectious cancer? Leaven always represents bad as in permeating and infecting. Meal = Wheat, flour. Always good. Overall, is it showing the positive and negative side. One can either use the Gospel to "pay it forward" on earth. "As thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven" or negatively. This negative is not those who would flat out reject the Gospel such as an atheist. But with things and those within. Even the hidden things you do and think no one is paying attention the Lord is and the benefits or consequences we can never measure. But the Lord can certainly as He makes that point here. Remember the two witnesses come and they are measuring as well. A post we just went over. Please check the archive Revelation 11.

Let's look at some types to see where Christ is drawing these analogies in parallel for the parable(s) in the negative and the positive.

Let's look at the negative first. Christ warned of 3 types of leaven, all evil. So we must look at each of the doorways that allow them in individually first:

(Luke 12:1-2) "In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy (play-acting, "formal" stage shows).

2For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.

(That is the point of the parables, deeper spiritual truth and in the end making things so simple. So stick with it).

Each time Christ would get on them about not looking to the spiritual as well,

(Mark 8:15) "And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod.

So, mixing politics with religion. But what they did was do their politics all in the name of God, throwing out God's laws. Sound familiar?

But let's take a look at why the disconnect momentarily here with the disciples:

(Mark 8:17) "And when Jesus knew it, he saith unto them, Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? perceive ye not yet, neither understand? have ye your heart yet hardened?

(Perception comes from the mind as a result from the heart. Your heart has to be in it first then the mind will follow. This is an example up and down Scripture in moving in faith, humble yourself like a child, etc. It always begins with the heart).

Number #3, Concerning seeking signs here in Matthew 16: Remember the kingdom of heaven begins within. To see God on the outside He has to be in us, spiritually first to then see the physical. Eyes to see, and ears to hear.

Here the Sadducee's were there this time:

(Matthew 16:1) "The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven."

(Matthew 16:6) "Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees."

Now let's look at each measure in the negative for the end-times from each doctrine above mixing in then they combine (no wonder the pharisees/sadducee's ended up on the same team as Herod/Herodians, in the conspiracy against Christ?

Look who they brought with them to conspire with this question. Oh, how the plot was on:

(Matthew 22:15-17) "Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk.
16they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou regardest not the person of men.

17Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?

(Religious leaders shaking hands and dirty double dealing with world leaders. Hmm).

Now, I want to point something out concerning the one world currency we cannot operate with. But we can and will trade/barter. What if satan pulls Scripture out here to force to deal with the money of the one world system coming? This is pretty easy. The money is corrupt we have to know he is, a fake representing dirty, double-dealing, corrupt, moral-less, bribery, blood money. It's two-fold. Selling out to money in name of politics while mixing religion when satan claims to be Christ/God. In other words, the force (hence god of forces) of hand by satan by using them to hold over your head.

(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.

See how this is accomplished? through politics and what gets them in the end will be "religion" after all.

(Revelation 13:12) "And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed."

The previous verse, the two horns he rises up with are financial/economic and religion. Of course, we all know politics is nothing but double dealing now. No one stands up for right. Make a deal to get the part I want out of it thinking they are doing right. Seriously? NOT!

To the trumpets now we have that set:

At each trumpet you have that 1/3 measure from the parable (trumpet 1 begins the famine, the green burnt up).

Politics directly and it's first, the mountains (nations, 1/3 of them into the sea of Babylon) and ships (trade, merchandise taking a blow heading to the one world currency). Hence the political to religious beast in Revelation 13.

The 2nd trumpet,

(Revelation 8:8-9) "And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood;


9And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed."

The 3rd trumpet, their lamps went out, as in the foolish virgins. These are claiming Christians obviously and politics is their answer. What do they want? In combination with the ships they hire their favorite political leader who can gain their own pocketbook in an already unworthy self-serving cause. Wake up!

(Revelation 8:10-11) "And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;


11And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.

(They are bitter against God, have all the defenses up, and of course play-acting stage shows as a result. Complete hypocrisy, claiming love but full of bitterness. Their love has waxed cold is the real truth. Fake messages like grace through faith excusing sin is all they have to hold onto. Vain so called worship).

The signs comes when satan claims to be Christ at the 6th trumpet (which we went a bit into, take a further look) Revelation 13:11-18 for that, in combination with Revelation 9:13-21; Matthew 24; Mark 13; Luke 21.


What does it finally? As the last 1/3 in the trumpets part in combination with Revelation 9:15, the 6th trumpet. The same exact timing with a different angle for us. satan claims to be Christ/God, and the sign seekers delight. When there is nothing else, no substance, seeking signs is all there is. Remember faith is THE substance of the things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen:


(Revelation 13:14) "And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live."

In the positive of course we have Christ birth, crucifixion, and resurrection. Without anyone of them we are all dead people walking. We have the 3 times Christ warned to stay awake and on watch during the hour of temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh holds us up (weak).

In the physical types from Genesis you have Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (Israel).You have the 3 angels who visited to promise Abraham and Sarah of the upcoming childbirth of Isaac. To carry on that lineage that Christ would come.

As always we can look no further than the book of Genesis to begin:

(Genesis 18:5-6) "And I will fetch a morsel of bread, and comfort ye your hearts; after that ye shall pass on: for therefore are ye come to your servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast said.

(Notice that, don't read over that. Comfort your hearts as stated above where it begins receiving the bread of life that is Christ let it penetrate. And NOT leaven is the point).

6And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes upon the hearth."

(Genesis 18:9-10) "And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent.


10And he said, I will certainly return unto thee according to the time of life; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard it in the tent door, which was behind him."

We'll conclude this study here. AMEN †

Matthew 14; Verses 28-33; Overcoming THE Storm and Flood Waters (Part Two)

Continuing on in the great chapter of Matthew 14. Thank you for taking a look †

(Matthew 14:28-33) "And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.

Remember, this is a two-fold lesson as illustrated in part one. For the Disciples then at the first coming. Then us in the final generation for the end-times. A lesson on faith and what it's going to take. The sea/waters always represent the people who are not believers, of the world.

(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."

(Jeremiah 51:13) "O thou that dwellest upon many waters, abundant in treasures, thine end is come, and the measure of thy covetousness."

This is a good lesson on self-will and our own determination. Won't get the job done. Through faith we know we're going to make it. Could we still say Peter had His mind on things and cares of the world? Absolutely, the weather physically here, in the end-times likened to the spiritual condition of the world. As we are not put to cares of the world selling out to Christian morals in the end-times. We cannot let the world get to us. It is literally, figuratively, for the birds. As it is written in Revelation 18:2-3,

(Revelation 18:2-3) "And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.


3For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.

I always like to say the first miracle in you was and is the heart and mind-changing work on the cross, through belief/repentance in the forgiveness of sins. Why doubt the rest? That is the work and the power of the Lord. No man has a word for that. No man can come against that.

Doubt is always the doorway to fear, worry, and being timid. The carrot on the stick in self-will won't get the job done, that is self. Christ must always be the ends to justify the means.

29And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.

(Check this out. Christ believed in Peter. But Peter did not believe in Himself through Christ to get to Christ here. When God says He believes in you it is time go get moving with a Godly goal through faith. Many times we don't know the end result, but Christ will always be there at the end. And seemingly, if you don't feel like He is there, He is. He never leaves you, but our own will can take over as we see here. We do know the end result overall coming at the 7th trumpet for all).


30But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.

(Wind howling, symbolic for the noises of the world and those of the world, water choppy as it is with the rise of Babylon here in the end-times. With the water being the people).

(Jeremiah 51:55) "Because the LORD hath spoiled Babylon, and destroyed out of her the great voice; when her waves do roar like great waters, a noise of their voice is uttered."

They are of the flesh, if you live by the flesh you will die, in sin that is. The waves symbolic for their voice. Their cruel and vileness. Don't let it get to you, keep put eyes focused on Christ and the prize. When Christ comes back will He really find faith? Yes, He will we know He has His people. Christ is asking that question for us to look at self. Many could shrug it off non-nonchalant, take it light, no big deal they say on what is to come. If 100 people come against you and your faith, can you stand? Judging you, while calling themselves Christians to boot (not so back then). So, you see Christ is teaching lessons to even build our faith after belief. To strengthen what we already have, to prepare us.

Don't take it personal. They did it to Him. If your heart and mind are to serve Christ they don't know any better. Though, that don't give them excuse. "Father forgive them they know what they do."

To Matthew 14:31,

31And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?

(Doubt is the first thing as always. I always point it out yes it has to be. If you don't believe something can be done then your heart and mind is not in it. Notice Peter did not come back with a rebuke or a wall of defensiveness here. Took it accordingly, and realized yes I need to build my faith).

32And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.

(The symbolic ship we are supposed to enter in the end-times for protection. We look to Noah and His faith. As it will be just like the days of Noah. Look how many would of come against Noah (his family along with the races) in the them days).

Notice that? Don't leave that ship with the turbulence of the world in the confusion that is Babylon. Just like Noah did not leave it. All the types there for us to reflect upon and build faith to what we already have.


33Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God."

This helped do it big time. Christ is the Son of God with emphasis!

How much the does the Lord want to emphasize what is coming on Babylon. All those who worship satan (the king of babylon) as Christ/God? 3 verses before, 3 verses after of complete and utter judgment, degradation, and justice for all. Justice for all Christians that is †

(Jeremiah 51:52-58) "Wherefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will do judgment upon her graven images: and through all her land the wounded shall groan.

53Though Babylon should mount up to heaven, and though she should fortify the height of her strength, yet from me shall spoilers come unto her, saith the LORD.

54A sound of a cry cometh from Babylon, and great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans:

55Because the LORD hath spoiled Babylon, and destroyed out of her the great voice; when her waves do roar like great waters, a noise of their voice is uttered:

56Because the spoiler is come upon her, even upon Babylon, and her mighty men are taken, every one of their bows is broken: for the LORD God of recompences shall surely requite.

57And I will make drunk her princes, and her wise men, her captains, and her rulers, and her mighty men: and they shall sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts.

58Thus saith the LORD of hosts; The broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly broken, and her high gates shall be burned with fire; and the people shall labour in vain, and the folk in the fire, and they shall be weary."

(We'll leave it there).

Amen †

Matthew 14; Verses 13-21; Feeding of the 5,000 +

Thank you for taking a look †

(Matthew 14:13-21) "When Jesus heard of it, he departed thence by ship into a desert place apart: and when the people had heard thereof, they followed him on foot out of the cities.

(Hearing of the death of innocent John the Baptist, along with disciples we could understand some alone time here. However, this shows even that those who want to follow Christ anytime He will not turn then away. Key here is they followed Him, sticking better than glue here).

14And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.

That being so, the first act--Compassion. We know is the result of the mercy, the release from judgment. Compassion towards those lost and hungry spiritually and physically for God's Word causes one to make a move. Can you imagine had Christ said no here?


15And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals.


(Because nothing can be found to eat here. This showing Christ can do the seemingly impossible to possible and then done to those who believe and follow.  The evening came, darkness with the famine. But Christ showing those who trusted and stuck with Him, they got fed. We need to have that trust not go in the world to buy and sell, the one world system, one world currency in the world's darkest hour to come).


(Case in point. Right here the Disciples learned you do not turn away those who want to follow Christ, and for the right reasons here. These people did not know fish sandwiches were coming here. That point being seen it was evening, no food to be seen for this day. Go and buy today's catch. Christ in one of the greatest miracles of all time about to show there is plenty of fish in and on the land).

16But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat.

Turns no one away those that come in sincerity. Now remember as well they were here in sincerity at this time. John the Baptist had just been beheaded so following Christ was now a very dangerous thing here. They are rebelling (lack of a better term) from the government. 

17And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes.

(5 = grace in Scripture. 2 = a double witness, a testimony. Christ showing the impossible with man here. satan cannot do this, but what satan can do when he comes to be "breadwinner" to the poor is give lying promises. We see this now by governments making money appear where it is not. Someone has to pay for it eventually. Both together add up 7, always symbolic for completion/perfection).

18He said, Bring them hither to me.

19And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
(An example of being servants of and for Christ. Showing us why we bless the food recognizing where it came from. Blessing our bodies both spiritually and physically).


20And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.

(This showing the excess in abundance. The number twelve always represents government perfection. Christ is showing an example of Isaiah 9. As the Disciples will sit on the 12 thrones at Christ' second coming).

References:

(Isaiah 9:6) "Of the increase (excess, abundance) of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this."

(Matthew 19:27-28) "Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?


28And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

(Revelation 20:4-5) "And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.


5But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.

To Matthew 14:21,

21And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children."
(This would boost the number up to 20,000 by the "law" of averages. No matter what during the tribulation and the famine there will always be enough to feed an army, the Lord's Army).
Amen †
