Peace in Christ.

We are currently living in the day of slaughter…..where the “flock of the slaughter” is not being fed the good news of our mortal salvation in this earth.

Our Savior Jesus Christ has abolished DEATH (rendered it idle) and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.

This good news is for this life in this earth that we are living now.

It is good news for our mortal bodies now.

NOW is the time of our salvation…not after we “die and go to heaven” as universally being preached by those who are perishing away to the grave and who are leading many down the broad way leading to destruction of their mortal bodies.

Multitudes are perishing as this good news is not being preached by those preachers who are currently rejoicing in getting their earthly needs met as they serve their own bellies.

2Ti 1:10 KJV
(10) But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:


The gospel….the good news…is hid to them so that they do not understand. It is hid to those who are “lost”…that is, PERISHING in their mortal bodies to the grave. If the good news is hid to them, they cannot be preaching it to anyone.

2Co 4:2-4 KJV
(2) But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.
(3) But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:


The god of this world….the serving for their bellies only…has blinded their minds.

(4) In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

They perish. Their end is destruction of their mortal bodies.
Their “god” is their belly because that is all that they are really serving for….and it blinds their minds from understanding the true good news of Christ. They serve/preach themselves and not our Lord Jesus Christ and are not feeding those that they are supposedly "pastoring”. They are minding earthly things: what to eat, what to drink, what to wear.....and they rejoice in getting it through their "preaching" to the sheep.

Php 3:19 KJV
(19) Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)

There is currently a great famine in the earth….a famine of hearing the true and sincere Word of God being preached.

The good news of the eternal life of Jesus being made manifest in our outer mortal flesh in this life is not being preached by those who are rejoicing .

The “oil and the wine” ….the joy and gladness of the well fed pastors…are not hurt. They are currently rejoicing in this time of “famine”.

Rev 6:5-6 KJV
(5) And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.
(6) And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.


The rich pastors today are rejoicing in their hearts as the sheep that they are “pastoring” are being slaughtered as the good news of our mortal salvation in this earth is not being preached by them. The eternal life of Jesus is not being made manifest in the flesh of their congregations.

But woe unto those who are full now….woe unto those who laugh now…

Luk 6:24-26 KJV
(24) But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation.

(25) Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep.
(26) Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophet
s.


The rich pastors have “joy and gladness” in their hearts which prevents them from hearing the cries of those they are supposedly feeding.

Isa 22:13-14 KJV
(13) And behold joy and gladness, slaying oxen, and killing sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine: let us eat and drink; for to morrow we shall die.


But the LORD of Hosts shall hear their cries. He will wage war using the Spirit of His mouth with those who are enjoying themselves now….who are reveling in the lap of luxury during this day of slaughter. The voice of the Lord will cause them to weep and mourn.

(14) And it was revealed in mine ears by the LORD of hosts, Surely this iniquity shall not be purged from you till ye die, saith the Lord GOD of hosts.

Woe unto those who laugh now for the miseries that shall come upon them which will cause them to weep and howl.

Jas 5:1-2 KJV
(1) Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.
(2) Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.


The eternal life of the Just One (Jesus) is being actively cut off from being manifest in those they “preach” to while they “nourish” their own hearts as they live in pleasure on the earth. It has been and is a day of slaughter.

Jas 5:5-6
(5) You have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; you have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.
(6) You have condemned and killed the Just One; and He doth not resist you.


The rejoicing drum (Tophet) beat of their hearts prevents them from hearing the cries of those they are “preaching” to.

Their rejoicing drowns out the cries of the innocent who are being put through the fire of God’s wrath. They are being saved but only as through the fire. They suffer loss....the loss of the mortal body.

The rich pastors are not paying the wages (the true gospel) of their laborers who toil for them and who are crying out.

Jas 5:4 KJV
(4) Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.


Shouldn’t the shepherds feed the flock rather than feeding themselves?

Eze 34:1-5 KJV
(1) And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
(2) Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD unto the shepherds; Woe be to the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed the flocks?
(3) Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye kill them that are fed: but ye feed not the flock.
(4) The diseased have ye not strengthened, neither have ye healed that which was sick, neither have ye bound up that which was broken, neither have ye brought again that which was driven away, neither have ye sought that which was lost; but with force and with cruelty have ye ruled them.
(5) And they were scattered, because there is no shepherd: and they became meat to all the beasts of the field, when they were scattered.


The rich pastors “fare sumptuously” every day. That is, they REJOICE BRILLIANTLY every day as they receive good things now while their congregations are receiving bad things.

Luk 16:19-21 KJV
(19) There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:

Their congregations are as a “beggar” destitute of the Word of Truth….but God shall help them which is the meaning of “Lazarus”.

They lay at the “gate”…the mouth of their pastor…wanting to be fed with the “crumbs” of the truth which fall from the rich pastor’s table where he is only feeding himself.

They are full of sores…full of troubles…but the dogs (those who flatter with the tongue) come and lick the sores. They make light of the troubles that their flock is experiencing under their “care”. They smooth things over telling us why “bad things happen to good people” and to stay happy about it.

(20) And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,
(21) And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.


Like Judas, they proclaim “Hail”…that is, REJOICE…master. That is, they want us to rejoice with them in their things as they come with the flattering lips (the “kiss”) to take the eternal life of Jesus out of those who are deceived by them. They come as a “friend”.

There is a “great multitude” that are following in the footsteps of Judas. They come with their “swords and staves” ….that is, they come to cause divisions and bring us into bondage with their codified handwritings of ordinances. They teach things that they ought not be (the handwriting of ordinances) for money's sake.

Mat 26:47-50 KJV
(47) And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people.
(48) Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast.
(49) And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and kissed him.
(50) And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.

I agree with you to some degree but you are preaching to the choir. The rich preachers are not going to come to forums like this. Many moons ago I was watching one of those rich TV "pastors," before he crashed. He had built a big, "Christian" time share condo and over sold it big time. When he was criticized for his lavish lifestyle he said, "I don't think God wants me living in a pile of junk." I was watching his program when he said it. I knew at that instant he was not a true under-shepherd. He finished his prison sentence and is back selling snake oil.
