people are told to not lean on their own understanding but they fail to do such because they act haughty when they think they comprehend what they claim to be "plain" meanings in the bible. they are unaware that most religious folks view God as a lamb that speaks like a dragon. they are ignorant that the god of this world deceives everyone and they count themselves as someone who is wise and not deceived while also claiming they are very unworthy and sinful... which automatically disqualifies them from understanding God perfectly.
demons have faith that there is a God, but they certainly don't know him.
so God puts everyone to shame when they won't reject the evil lamb that speaks like a dragon and when they as cowards think it right to bend their knees to satan who masquerades as an messenger of light. only God and God alone can reveal to you his nature and what his bible says. we all know him to the degree that our hearts are a holy temple of his rather than the antichrist, who pretends to be Christ.
here is a picture of the sinful flesh warping the image of Christ into an unholy image. the bible describes a process of Israel (Gods beloved soul) going from an earthly nature to a heavenly nature.
Rev 13:11-14 (YLT)
And I saw another beast coming up out of the land, and it had two horns, like a lamb, and it was speaking as a dragon, and all the authority of the first beast doth it do before it, and it maketh the land and those dwelling in it that they shall bow before the first beast, whose deadly stroke was healed, and it doth great signs, that fire also it may make to come down from the heaven to the earth before men, and it leadeth astray those dwelling on the land, because of the signs that were given it to do before the beast, saying to those dwelling upon the land to make an image to the beast that hath the stroke of the sword and did live,
all day long Gods blind people revile him and the mixture of good and evil causes the righteousness God cloths us with to become tainted and ruined. the worm eating the wool is the base evil nature corrupting the good, this is the spiritual egypt type aka the flesh. the moth eating a garment implies a kind of growing up and maturing because a garment is fashioned and a moth is a secondary developed form and can fly which represents some heavenly insight and is spiritually speaking the "dwelling in the wilderness type" aka the soul, but is still not perfect as we are commanded to dwell in the land of promise aka the spirit.
Isa 51:7-8 (YLT)
Hearken unto Me, ye who know righteousness, A people, in whose heart is My law, Fear ye not the reproach of men, And for their reviling be not affrighted, For as a garment eat them doth a moth, And as wool eat them doth a worm, And My righteousness is to the age, And My salvation to all generations.
but God will keep trying until he saves his people to the utmost.
Jer 31:31-34 (YLT)
Lo, days are coming, an affirmation of Jehovah, And I have made with the house of Israel And with the house of Judah a new covenant, Not like the covenant that I made with their fathers, In the day of My laying hold on their hand, To bring them out of the land of Egypt, In that they made void My covenant, And I ruled over them--an affirmation of Jehovah. For this is the covenant that I make, With the house of Israel, after those days, An affirmation of Jehovah, I have given My law in their inward part, And on their heart I do write it, And I have been to them for God, And they are to me for a people. And they do not teach any more Each his neighbour, and each his brother, Saying, Know ye Jehovah, For they all know Me, from their least unto their greatest, An affirmation of Jehovah; For I pardon their iniquity, And of their sin I make mention no more.
it's so difficult to explain all the patterns and symbolic language that i can say with confidence that only by the grace of God can you even say anything that you see of it or comprehend the depths of the hidden wisdom of God. it takes much more than the rational part of the mind to understand the supra-rational Word of God. you must be born from above.
