the tree of the knowledge of good and evil

I am very bothered by what is going on. sometimes my eyes are shut but normal life is no way to cling to Christ. the state I am in, is terrible. who will save me? I am so weak Christ I don't want to be without you. they always constantly condemn me, please help me Christ. i'm nothing. both speak out "i'm nothing" one is evil when it says it and the other is good. but my enemies are to many to count.

to ignore this problem and to not try to get as close to Christ as I can is nothing more than blasphemy. can no one else see the giant mass of cancer and sores that forms their soul? but i am worse off than most.

one giant lies this world is. "forsake all and follow me" is what I think the baby in my heart says, but I don't know, I can't see. I am so bothered. this is perplexing. who am I? I can't tell who I am, I can't see me. but I thought He told me that He will show me. I know i'm the church but it is still perplexing.

I'm not sure the meaning of your post...but I hope you are alright. God is with us all....we are not alone in this world. Fear not....He is in control.

Job humbled himself while being persecuted….while Elihu exalted himself.

This is about God humbling the pride of religious men who will exalt themselves against the Truth in this coming time. When the “man of sin” is destroyed, what will be left is a humbled people……though feeling shamed for their behavior.

Luke 14:11 KJV
(11) For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

Many can be tempted to think that Elihu speaks rightly…..but Job is the hero in this story. Job is the righteous one of the group. Job knows it…and God knows it….for God said so.

Elihu is the “man of sin”. His lineage says a lot about his character. Elihu is the son of “Barachel”….which means “God has blessed” ….or “God has cursed”. Care to guess which category he is in? “Barachel” was a “Buzite”…..and the word “Buz” means “disrespect, contempt, shame”. Elihu was of the kindred of “Ram”…which means “high”….meaning he was PROUD.

This is all setting the stage beforehand for us not to take Elihu’s words as being right…when all of the following words of Elihu were just promoting himself. He exalted himself in his own knowledge and tried to put Job in his place. Before a fall comes pride. Elihu was an angry young man….and the wrath of man does not work the righteousness of God.

Job 32:2 KJV
(2) Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram: against Job was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself rather than God.

When flattering (feigned) words spoken in covetousness do not work on those who will receive the love of the Truth (and will do it) in this coming time, then “religious” men will resort to wrathful speaking . They will exalt themselves in their pride. They will have filled up their sins. The WRATH that will come upon them is the “uttermost” of their sins. It will have reached maximum level when they break out in wrath.

1 Thessalonians 2:16 KJV
(16) Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins alway: for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost.

Elihu represents this man of wrath….the man of sin…who will reveal himself at the very end. His wrath was directed towards everyone…..including his three friends.

Job 32:1-5 KJV
(1) So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
(2) Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram: against Job was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself rather than God.
(3) Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.
(4) Now Elihu had waited till Job had spoken, because they were elder than he.
(5) When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, then his wrath was kindled.

The “ten horns” refers to the fullness of sin. Elihu had become full of wrath. When men are wrathful, they do not use flattering words….just as Elihu did not. Babylon….the flattering tongue….gets burned and the proud, wrathful mouth takes over. The flattering tongue that spoke feigned words to deceive even the elect is not possible so another tactic takes over: wrath and pride.

Revelation 17:16-17 KJV
(16) And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the harlot, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.

For God will put it in their hearts to fulfill His will…..

(17) For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.

…..just as Elihu indicates here that he is “full of matter” within:

Job 32:18-22 KJV
(18) For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me.
(19) Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent; it is ready to burst like new bottles.
(20) I will speak, that I may be refreshed: I will open my lips and answer.

Elihu “burns” the flattering mouth in order to use his tongue for wrath….for God had put it into his heart to fulfill His will. The other three “friends” were part of the Babylonian way of speaking. Elihu will have no part of it for he hated the “flattering titles”. His Maker would soon take him away if he did flatter. God put it into his heart to speak such things in order for Babylon to disappear altogether.

(21) Let me not, I pray you, accept any man's person, neither let me give flattering titles unto man.
(22) For I know not to give flattering titles; in so doing my maker would soon take me away.

Again, God had put it into Elihu’s heart to vent his wrath. Babylon …the flattering tongue….falls and becomes a place where all proud, wrathful words are spoken.

Job 33:4-6 KJV
(4) The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.
(5) If thou canst answer me, set thy words in order before me, stand up.

The “man of sin” shall proclaim that he is God and will exalt himself and oppose everything that is called God. He is allowed to continue for a while speaking proud things and blasphemies against God and against those who dwell in the Truth . Elihu’s speech lasts longer than anyone’s in the book of Job.

(6) Behold, I am according to thy wish in God's stead: I also am formed out of the clay.

But notice where Elihu’s conversation goes toward the end.

He incorporates clouds, lightning and thunder towards the end of his speech.

Obviously, a storm must have been approaching the group. A storm that God would eventually speak out of. …the “whirlwind”. This approaching “cloud” must be the coming of the Lord upon the “cloud” that every eye shall see. Elihu’s speech starts to incorporate a cloud he must have seen coming……perhaps it had started to drop a small amount of rain just as approaching storms do.

Job 36:27-28 KJV
(27) For he maketh small the drops of water: they pour down rain according to the vapour thereof:
(28) Which the clouds do drop and distil upon man abundantly.

Perhaps this cloud had started to cover the sun while he was giving the end speech…..

Job 36:32 KJV
(32) With clouds he covereth the light; and commandeth it not to shine by the cloud that cometh betwixt.

Perhaps this cloud had started to produce lightning and thunder while Elihu continues on……

Job 37:3-5 KJV
(3) He directeth it under the whole heaven, and his lightning unto the ends of the earth.
(4) After it a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice of his excellency; and he will not stay them when his voice is heard.
(5) God thundereth marvellously with his voice; great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend.

Now as Elihu continues, there is a wind associated with this approaching cloud….a rain-cooled wind….

Job 37:9-10 KJV
(9) Out of the south cometh the whirlwind: and cold out of the north.

The “breath” of God = the “wind” of God.

(10) By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened.

And then Elihu’s speech abruptly stops as the Lord speaks out of the whirlwind now that the storm is fully developed…..

Job 38:1-2 KJV
(1) Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
(2) Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?

Behold, the Lord comes with myriads of His saints. These are the “clouds” He comes with….to execute judgment upon all and to convict all that are ungodly….with all of their hard speeches with the ungodly sinners have spoken against him (the 3 friends of Job and Elihu who spoke against Job).

Jude 1:14-15 KJV
(14) And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,
(15) To 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.

Who are these “myriads” of saints?

To be continued…..

When religious men in the churches will rise up in this coming time with pride and speak out in their wrath (after a deceptive, flattering tongue proves useless against the elect) against the “Jobs” of the church, they are allowed to continue for a while as their sin reaches the uttermost fullness. Sin….proud, wrathful, evil speaking will have a cup to fill to the “uttermost”.

But the “sign of the Son of man in heaven” shall appear and they shall see the Son of man coming in the “clouds” with power and great glory. They shall “mourn”.

Matthew 24:30 KJV
(30) And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

Every eye shall see Him as He comes with the clouds….even those who pierce him.

Job’s friends and Elihu “pierced” Him by speaking evil of Job….the servant of God…and misrepresenting God. Likewise, in this coming time many shall pierce Him with their tongues when they will speak out against what they will hear. But they shall see the “sign of the Son of man in heaven” and shall wail.

Revelation 1:7 KJV
(7) Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

The “kindreds of the earth” will be those who will not “deaden” their “members”….their tongues….which are upon the “earth” of their heart. They will keep on speaking what is in their hearts: the covetousness, the anger, the wrath, blasphemy, filthy communication…..at the worst possible time.

Colossians 3:5-8 KJV
(5) Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
(6) For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:

You will not be of the “kindreds of the earth” if these things are “put off”. Those who will not be of the “kindreds of the earth” will rejoice instead of mourn and wail.

(7) In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.
(8) But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.

A cloud approaches Job and the men while Elihu spoke.

Elihu incorporates what he sees in his speech as he mentions rain, clouds, lightning and thunder toward the last two chapters of his discourse. The clouds represent the coming of the Lord in the “clouds” of heaven and it shakes Elihu to his core.

Job 36:28-33 KJV
(28) Which the clouds do drop and distil upon man abundantly.
(29) Also can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, or the noise of his tabernacle?
(30) Behold, he spreadeth his light upon it, and covereth the bottom of the sea.
(31) For by them judgeth he the people; he giveth meat in abundance.
(32) With clouds he covereth the light; and commandeth it not to shine by the cloud that cometh betwixt.
(33) The noise thereof sheweth concerning it, the cattle also concerning the vapour.

At what Elihu hears and sees, his heart starts to tremble and is “moved out of his place”. Elihu sees something coming that scares the daylights out of him. His heart which was once calm and steadfast in his proud talk is now jumping violently with fear. This coming cloud….thunderstorm…is now a total object of his attention….and is producing fear within him…to the very core of his heart.
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
Job 37:1-5 KJV
(1) At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved out of his place.
(2) Hear attentively the noise of his voice, and the sound that goeth out of his mouth.
(3) He directeth it under the whole heaven, and his lightning unto the ends of the earth.
(4) After it a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice of his excellency; and he will not stay them when his voice is heard.
(5) God thundereth marvellously with his voice; great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend.

He sees the Lord coming upon the clouds of heaven with great power and glory. Yet, he continues talking…..with a “peace and safety” kind of talk.

Job 37:6-24 KJV
(6) For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength.
(7) He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work.
(8) Then the beasts go into dens, and remain in their places.
(9) Out of the south cometh the whirlwind: and cold out of the north.
(10) By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened.
(11) Also by watering he wearieth the thick cloud: he scattereth his bright cloud:
(12) And it is turned round about by his counsels: that they may do whatsoever he commandeth them upon the face of the world in the earth.
(13) He causeth it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy.
(14) Hearken unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.
(15) Dost thou know when God disposed them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine?
(16) Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge?
(17) How thy garments are warm, when he quieteth the earth by the south wind?
(18) Hast thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten looking glass?
(19) Teach us what we shall say unto him; for we cannot order our speech by reason of darkness.
(20) Shall it be told him that I speak? if a man speak, surely he shall be swallowed up.
(21) And now men see not the bright light which is in the clouds: but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them.
(22) Fair weather cometh out of the north: with God is terrible majesty.

Elihu stated “we can not find him out”. Elihu is so scared that he exclaims “peace and safety”….. “He will not afflict”…..

(23) Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out: he is excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of justice: he will not afflict.
(24) Men do therefore fear him: he respecteth not any that are wise of heart.

But he was without excuse. Elihu professed himself to be wise, but he became a fool.

Romans 1:18-22 KJV
(18) For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
(19) Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
(20) For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
(21) Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
(22) Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

Now the “clouds” are not literal clouds….but they are His witnesses…His people. There will be many, many people who will receive the Word of Truth in this coming time. These people will have something to say to those men who will be piercing the Word of Truth with their swords…their tongues.

Hebrews 12:1 KJV
(1) Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

In this coming time, there will be men in the church who will rail against the Truth and against those who will receive it. Those who will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer “persecution” from them…..as they will speak evil of those things. But the reinforcements will come and they shall see the “clouds of heaven” coming and will fear greatly as Elihu did at the sight of the thunderstorm.

Jude 1:10-15 KJV
(10) But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.
(11) Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.
(12) These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;

They will be like “raging waves of the sea”….foaming out their own shame by what will come out of their mouths.

(13) Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.

But the Lord will come with “ten thousands”….that is, myriads….of His saints. They are the “clouds of heaven” that he will come on.

(14) And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,

They will come in the Lord to execute judgment upon all and to convict all that are ungodly….for many “religious” men will speak a lot of “hard speeches” against the revealed Word of God in this coming time.

(15) To 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.

These great multitudes of people will be the “clouds” in which He will come and many will see the “sign” of the Son of man in heaven which will cause great fear among the wicked of the church. They will start saying "peace and safety" as they will see something powerful and glorious coming and will start to fear tremendously.


To be continued….

As the clouds of an approaching thunderstorm started darkened the sky, Elihu’s heart started to tremble and was “moved out of his place”….it rocked with fear. It came as his sin reached the uttermost.

Literal clouds cover the sun, moon and stars so that their light can not reach the earth.

With the coming of the “clouds” of heaven, God will cover the “light” of peoples’ hearts of those who do not believe and it will make them sorely afraid just like Elihu. The “sun” will be darkened and the moon shall not give out its light….so to speak…by a great “cloud” of witnesses. The sight of this group of people will scare the “daylights” out of those who will see it.

Job 36:32-33 KJV
(32) With clouds he covereth the light; and commandeth it not to shine by the cloud that cometh betwixt.
(33) The noise thereof sheweth concerning it, the cattle also concerning the vapour.
Job 37:1 KJV
(1) At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved out of his place.

Again, the “cloud” is what covers the sun and moon and the stars. The “darkness upon thy land” is in the heart.

Ezekiel 32:7-9 KJV
(7) And when I shall put thee out, I will cover the heaven, and make the stars thereof dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give her light.
(8) All the bright lights of heaven will I make dark over thee, and set darkness upon thy land, saith the Lord GOD.

The hearts of many shall be vexed….be troubled, grieved, angered….

(9) I will also vex the hearts of many people, when I shall bring thy destruction among the nations, into the countries which thou hast not known.

Immediately after the “tribulation” of Job by his 3 friends and lastly by Elihu, the clouds came and covered up the light and made Elihu afraid. The “powers” of the heaven shall be shaken in this coming time by sight of the “clouds of heaven” that will approach. Elihu was shaken to the core of his heart.

Matthew 24:29-30 KJV
(29) Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

The “sign” of the Son of man in heaven shall appear and then all of the “tribes of the earth”…..the tongues of those who had not ceased from their speaking out against the Truth…. shall mourn.

(30) And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

Compare Mathew 24:29-30 with Joel 2:31-32 for they are comparable.

Matthew 24:29-30 KJV
(29) Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
(30) And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

Joel 2:31-32 KJV
(31) The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.
(32) And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.

When Jesus was lifted up from off the earth upon the cross, a literal “sign” was written and placed over him: “THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS”. This is the calling on His “name”….His authority…over their hearts. The “sign” will be a confession en masse that the Word of God spoken in Truth is King.

Luke 23:38-43 KJV
(38) And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

Nathanael, an Israelite, saw Jesus and there was a confession: RABBI, YOU ARE THE SON OF GOD, YOU ARE THE KING OF ISRAEL.

John 1:47 KJV
(47) Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!

John 1:49 KJV
(49) Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.

In this coming time, there will be people en masse confessing that He is the King of the Jews. These would be the Jews who God will remember He has a covenant with. He will remember the covenant when He sees this confession….this “rainbow”…. in the “cloud”. When Jesus comes to His kingdom, He will REMEMBER them as they will call JESUS “Lord”….the King of their hearts….the King of the Jews. He will REMEMBER the covenant He has with them.

Luke 23:38-44 KJV
(38) And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
(39) And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.

They will come forth to convict all of the ungodly sinners of their harsh words….for they will have seen it all: God’s wrath, His judgment….receiving the “due reward” for their deeds, His mercy, His love.

(40) But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?
(41) And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.

The “bow” will be seen in the clouds…..He will remember them and the covenant when He comes in the kingdom with great power and glory. He comes with the “clouds” of heaven.

(42) And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.

“Today” they will hear His voice in the preaching of the Word of God in truth. Many, many of them will hear His voice and be with Him in “paradise”….after so long. They will not harden their hearts…..like their fathers did.

He comes with the “clouds of heaven”….and there will be “darkness” upon all of the earth….upon all the hearts of those who will see this incredible sight and will greatly fear what is coming upon the earth.

(43) And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.
(44) And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.

To be continued….

Sin has a cup to fill.

Elihu in the story of Job represents the fullness of sin as his words were spoken in the ultimate pride and the wrath of his heart. He was the 4th and last man to speak.

Many in the Gentile churches will hear the Word of God spoken in truth….in sincerity and love….but will not believe in what they will hear in this last day. Even though His knowledge will be made manifest in every place of the Scriptures, they will react negatively to it.

2 Corinthians 2:14-17 KJV
(14) Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.

Those who will not believe in what they will hear will start to “perish” within because of their evil words that will come out of their mouths against it. In them that will perish, the Truth will be the “savor of death unto death” for them….for they will HATE what they will hear and will react accordingly. To “perish” is for the love to wax cold in the heart.

(15) For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish:
(16) To the one we are the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things?

They will want to continue merchandising the Word of God for their own dishonest gain. They will want things to continue as they were…..preaching dishonestly for dishonest gain. They will hate the preaching of the Word in Christ…..the Truth…for it means they have to change their thoughts and ways for His.

(17) For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.

When the Word increases its visibility among the churches in this coming time, then the full court press comes on as those who will hate it will try to keep others from receiving it. They will use their flattering tongues to keep people in their denominations….under their influences….continuing to do works motivated by the lusts of men for the things of this world: “building and planting” grand church buildings, great ministries, bigger congregations, religious merchandise, greater glory of men, etc. They will continue to “peddle” the Word of God for the things of man.

As the Word of Truth is being revealed in this last day, the resistance will be major. They will deny…that is, oppose and contradict…..the Lord who bought them.

2 Peter 2:1-3 KJV
(1) But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.

They will be successful in keeping others from the Way of Truth. Just by following them will people be complicit in speaking evil of the Way of Truth. Just by keeping silent company with them or wishing them “Godspeed” will a person partake of their evil ways.

(2) And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.

Through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you…..

(3) And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.

They will not want you to believe in the Word spoken in Truth….and they will use “great swelling words of vanity” to keep you away from escaping from them who live in error. This is coming to the churches in a big way as the Word will spread and many people will receive it with joy.

2 Peter 2:18-19 KJV
(18) For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.

Their sin has a cup to fill. They will not cease from sin….as they are only after their own covetousness.

2 Peter 2:14 KJV
(14) Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:

When the flattering tongue…Babylon….used to speak “great swelling words of vanity” will not be effective upon the elect, then the flattering tongue disappears (Babylon falls and burns) and becomes a mouth that will speak proud, wrathful words against God and His elect.

They will place themselves as God in their hearts and mouths as they will judge others for receiving the Truth. Elihu (the 4th man) in the story of Job represents this “man of sin” who will be revealed. This same fullness of sin will come in.

Many consider Romans 11:25 as speaking about the fullness of the Gentiles to be “saved”….but it is referring to the fullness of their sin in this coming time.

The fullness of sin will come in when the flattering tongue has been “burned” and the “man of sin” reveals himself in a big way with their proud, wrathful words. The “man of sin” will be many people in the Gentile churches speaking very proud words in their wrath against the “Jobs” of the church.

Romans 11:25-27 KJV
(25) For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

When the fullness of the sins of the naysayers of the churches come in, then the Jews shall be turned away from ungodliness in a big, big way. Multitudes and multitudes of the Jews will receive what many Christians will reject in this coming time. They will proclaim that what they will hear….the Word of God spoken in Truth….is the “King”. Jesus is the Word of God and they will hear His voice and will believe en masse. They will not harden their hearts.

One of the meanings of “Zion” is “signpost, pillar, monument”. The “signpost” is the saying that was written and placed over the head of our Lord has he hung on the “pole”. That is the “sign of the Son of man” that will appear in heaven.

(26) And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:

“This is my covenant unto them”……that is, God will remember His covenant with them by their confession that “THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS”.

(27) For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.

They will confess that Jesus is “the King of the Jews” in a big way. Words travel in the “heaven”….the air…to our ears. Their confession will be overwhelming to the resisters.

Elihu was the 4th man….the “man of sin” who revealed himself after the other 3 were unsuccessful with Job with their words.

As it says in Genesis 15:16, in the “4th generation”, they (the Jews) will “come here again”.

The 4th generation refers to the fullness of the sins of the Gentiles as they will reject His Word in a major rebellion…a great falling away. The “Amorites” refers to the Gentile people who will rise up in their pride and speak out in a wrathful, proud manner against His Truth and against those who will hold on to it. “Amorite” means “prominence” and signifies the men in the churches who will love to have the preeminence among men and will show themselves as such.

The fullness of the Gentiles = the fullness of the iniquity of the Amorites.

Genesis 15:16-18 KJV
(16) But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.

God will remember His covenant with the Jews by their confession. The “sun” will darken for those “Amorites” because of the multitude of them that they will see receiving His Word. They shall see Him coming in the “clouds of heaven” and they shall mourn.

(17) And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces.
(18) In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:

They (the Jews) will be as a “clouds”….. myriads of them….. who will confess that the Word of God spoken in Truth is King of the Jews in this coming time.

There confession is the “bow” in the cloud that God will look upon and REMEMBER His covenant with them. This is the “sign” of the Son of man in “heaven”. The Word of God spoken in Truth in the ears of many Jews will bring this confession. The “heaven” is the air through which words travel to our ears.

Genesis 9:13-17 KJV
(13) I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
(14) And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:
(15) And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
(16) And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.

This is the “sign” of the covenant….the confession that Jesus….the Word of God spoken in Truth…. is the King of the Jews.

(17) And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.

The “signpost” that was placed over the head of Jesus when he was lifted up upon the pole is the “rainbow”. It was written in 3 languages.

Revelation 10:1 KJV
(1) And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:

It is the “seraphims” above the throne of the Lord. It is the confession that “THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS” that was written and placed over the head of Jesus when he was lifted up upon the pole.

Isaiah 6:1-3 KJV
(1) In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.
(2) Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly.

It was written in 3 languages….all saying the same thing. The Jehovah of armies.....the armies of heaven who will follow the Word of God....as King of kings and Lord of lords.

(3) And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy,is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.

Their confession is the “sign” of the Son of man in heaven….that what is being preached is the Truth....even though many in the Gentile churches will have already rejected it. “Zion” means “sign post”. Out of “Zion”…out of their confession that “THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS” will come the deliverer. This is His covenant with them when He will take away their sins.

Luke 23:38-45 KJV
(38) And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
(39) And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.

They will come as “clouds” to rebuke those “Amorites” of the churches who will continue in their “railing” of Christ. Do you not fear God?

(40) But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?

They are qualified to speak such things for they are the witnesses of His judgment upon them and His mercy and grace.

(41) And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.

This man on the cross with Jesus signifies the Jews who will refer to Him as “Lord”…. “Ruler”… “King” in this coming time. This confession will cause Him to remember them (His covenant with them) when He comes in His Kingdom. He comes in the “clouds”.

(42) And he said unto Jesus, Lord,remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.
(43) And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.

The “clouds” shall darken the hearts of many “Amorites” of the church as they will FEAR. The “daylights” will be scared out of them so to speak. They shall wail and mourn when they see Him coming in the “clouds” with great power and glory. Even so…amen!

(44) And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.
(45) And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.

Luke 23:46-49 KJV
(46) And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.
(47) Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man.

When the people saw this sight, beholding the things which were done, they “smote their breasts and returned” . Many shall see this “cloud” and will mourn for their “sins” their evil speaking and will return to Him.

(48) And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things which were done, smote their breasts, and returned.

to be continued….

The “seraphim” in Isaiah represent the confession that Jesus Christ is Lord…..that is, the Word of God is “King of kings” and “Lord of lords” over our own thoughts and ways. To the Jews…..He is the “King of the Jews” and is the spiritual sign of the Son of man in heaven that all will see as they will make this confession en masse. This "sign" was placed over the head of Jesus upon the cross.

A comparison of Isaiah 6 and Philippians 2.

In Isaiah, the prophet saw the Lord sitting upon a throne….high and lifted up….

Isaiah 6:
(1) In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up,and his train filled the temple.

In Philippians, God has highly exalted Jesus Christ and has given him a name which is above every name. He is “King of kings” and “Lord of lords”. His “name” is His authority over our hearts, minds, and souls. Jesus is the Word of God spoken in Truth. He IS the Truth.

Philippians 2:
(9) Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:

Upon the cross….or pole…above the head of Jesus was placed the inscription written in 3 different languages: “This is the King of the Jews”. The “seraphim” represent this confession.

Isaiah 6:
(2) Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly.

Every knee should bow at the “name”….the authority…of Jesus. He is the King….His Word is Truth…and we are to listen attentively to His Word while casting down every imagination that exalts itself against His knowledge.

We are to spiritually kneel before the King and not argue against what we will hear with our own outward understanding of the Word. Every knee should bow at the authority of Jesus….of things in heaven, things in earth and things under the earth.

Things in heaven (that “fly” in the air) are the words we speak . We are to submit to the King with our confession: this is the King. That should be the only words “flying” in the face of His knowledge.

Things in the earth are the things in our hearts. We are to “cover” our face to the ground so to speak as we kneel to the King in submission. We are to cease speaking our own words that are of our own earthly wisdom….. as the wings of the seraphim are not flying but are cover their faces.

“Things under the earth” are our thoughts. We are to bring every thought to the obedience….to the attentive hearing….of Christ. We should not “walk” according to the flesh in our thoughts against the Truth. Our “feet” should be out of sight to the King’s view by our kneeling down to Him in our honor of Him. Again, the wings that cover the feet are not flapping…and so our mouths should not be also.

Philippians 2:
(10) That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

Isaiah confesses the King….the Jehovah of armies is THE King…..the King of kings and the Lord of lords.

Isaiah 6:
(3) And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.

The posts of the door is the confession of our mouth. We confess Him as King before other men. The “house” was filled with “smoke”…that is ANGER. When we will confess before others what we hear as King of kings in this coming time, they WILL be ANGRY at us for doing so. They will consider us “fools” and will speak of us as “evil doers”. But this is for His glory that these things should happen.

(4) And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.

Isaiah had seen the King with his “eyes”. We also shall “see” Him with the “eyes of our understanding”.

(5) Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seenthe King, the LORD of hosts.

We are to confess that Jesus Christ is “Lord”….Supreme Governor….King of kings and Lord of lords….to the glory of God the Father. Isaiah was filled with fear and trembling at the seeing of the King, the LORD of hosts ….as we should be also.

Philippians 2:
(11) And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
(12) Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
(13) For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

Isaiah: “…..I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips….”

Isaiah 6:
(5) Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts.

Likewise, we also will be dwelling in the “midst of a crooked and perverse nation”…..among those of the church who will be unbelievers and will not confess the King. We shall shine as lights in the world. They ….the unbelievers of the churches….will not confess that He is King as they will dispute and oppose His Word in this coming time.

Philippians 2:
(14) Do all things without murmurings and disputings:
(15) That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;
(16) Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.

“Seraphim” means “burning ones”. By confessing that Jesus is Lord of lords, it will burn away our sins…..purging us for His work. The “tongs” are our lips that will confess Him as King.

Isaiah 6:
(6) Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar:

Again, the “tongs” are the lips that will make that confession which takes away our sins.

(7) And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.

If we believe in our hearts and confess with our mouths the LORD Jesus, then we shall be saved. With the mouth…. the “tongs”….we make the confession unto our salvation. Our sins are purged in the fire of our confession.

Romans 10:8-13 KJV
(8) But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
(9) That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
(10) For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
(11) For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

There is NO DIFFERENCE between Jew and the Greek…that is, the gentiles.

(12) For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.

We are to call upon the “name” of the Lord….He is “King of kings and Lord of lords”.

(13) For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Then we can be ready to do His work……as it says here in Isaiah.

Isaiah 6:
(8) Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.
(9) And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.
(10) Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed.
(11) Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate,
(12) And the LORD have removed men far away, and there be a great forsaking in the midst of the land.
(13) But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it shall return, and shall be eaten: as a teil tree, and as an oak, whose substance is in them, when they cast their leaves: so the holy seed shall be the substance thereof.

We are to cast down all imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God and to bring every thought into captivity to the hearing of Christ….His knowledge. He is King of kings. His thoughts and ways are higher than our thoughts and ways. When we are fully ready when our obedience is fulfilled….that is, when we hear attentively and DO what we hear, then we can be ready for His service to “revenge all disobedience”.

2 Corinthians 10:5-6 KJV
(5) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
(6) And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.

to be continued….

In this coming time, the sign of the Son of man in heaven shall appear and then shall of the tribes of the earth mourn.

Matthew 24:30 KJV
(30) And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn,and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

Again, the “tribes of the earth” will be those who will not “mortify”…that is, deaden…. their tongues from speaking feigned words motivated by covetousness in the face of hearing the knowledge of God. Instead of embracing the Truth as King over them, they will continue on pursuing their lusts and speaking evil in denial of what they will hear.

Colossians 3:5-9 KJV
(5) Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
(6) For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:
(7) In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.

They will not cease from “sin” as they will fill up their sin to the uttermost by speaking in anger, wrath, malice and blasphemy against the Word of God spoken in sincerity and truth. They will reject the Word in their unbelief.

(8) But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
(9) Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;

The “tribes of the earth” will mourn when they see the sign of the Son of man in heaven as he will come with the “clouds” of heaven. They will weep bitterly as they will see many, many Jews confessing that the Jesus is the King over them. This “sign” will cause them to remember the Lord’s words spoken specifically about them.

They will weep like Peter did after he had denied that he knew the Lord 3 times….and then heard the rooster crow. The rooster crowing is symbolic of the “sign” of the Son of man…the confession that “This is the King of the Jews”. This will cause them to remember the words of the Lord.

In this coming time, many in the church will stumble over the “stone” as they will consider the Word spoken to them in this last day as a “ROCK” of offense….which is the meaning of “Peter”.

They will deny Him just as Peter did : “I know not what you are saying”. They will reject the Word….. “I don’t know your words so I reject them”. “I do not understand your words”. Many Christians will really deny Jesus who is the Word….even though (like Peter) they will say this can never happen.

Mark 14:31 KJV
(31) But he spake the more vehemently, If I should die with thee, I will not deny thee in any wise. Likewise also said they all.

Jesus Christ is the Word of God spoken in Truth. They will hear the Word of God being preached in this last day. The “damsel” (which is the tongue preaching the Truth) will speak His knowledge to them…but they will NOT CONFESS the Truth before others but will instead deny it before men. They will not believe.

Matthew 26:69-75 KJV
(69) Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee.
(70) But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest.
(71) And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said unto them that were there, This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth.

The denial….. “I do not know the man”…... I do not know the Word you are speaking. “ I don’t understand what you are preaching”. They will reject it willfully. Their ignorance will be willful and they will not listen attentively to what is being preached.

(72) And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man.

They will speak the words but will deny the interpretation of them. They will have the “form of godliness” in their speech but will deny the power of it.

(73) And after a while came unto him they that stood by, and said to Peter, Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech bewrayeth thee.

They will begin to “curse and to swear” in their wrath against what they will hear….the Word of God spoken in Truth. They will not confess that what they will hear is the Truth….the King that should rule over them.

But they will remember His words when they will see the sign of the Son of man in heaven appear as many Jews will confess that what is being preached is the Truth…the King. Jesus IS LORD over the Jews and us ALL. The rooster shall crow…..

(74) Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately the [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse] crew.

….and all of the “tribes of the earth” shall mourn…as Peter did….because they will have denied Him as their King…their Lord. They will have denied and contradicted the Word of Truth when they will hear it…thus, denying Him. They will weep bitterly for their sins for they will remember that this was predicted of them.

(75) And Peter remembered the word of Jesus,which said unto him, Before the [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse] crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.

We are to sanctify the Jehovah of armies. He is our King. The Word of God spoken in Truth is the “King of kings” and “Lord of lords” and the armies follow after Him.

Isaiah 8:13-15 KJV
(13) Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.

“Peter” means “rock”. Many in the Gentile church will stumble over the “stone”. It will be a “rock of offence” to them as they will not believe and confess Him with their mouths. The Word that they will hear in this last day…. they will reject.

This has happened to the Jews….. and now will happen to the Gentiles. The “stumbling” will have happened to BOTH HOUSES. The rooster crowed once in Matthew and TWICE in Mark signifying both houses.

(14) And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

And MANY among them (BOTH houses) shall stumble and fall and be broken and be snared and taken….

(15) And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.

Again, one of the meanings of “Zion” is “signpost, title, pillar, monument”….and this “sign” was put over the head of Jesus: “THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS”. It was written in 3 languages…Peter denied the Lord 3 times.

This is the confession…the “sign”….that what we will hear…that His Word is King over us. His thoughts and ways are higher than ours. In “Zion”….in our confession that He is King over our hearts, minds and souls, we shall be saved.

1 Peter 2:6-8 KJV
(6) Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.
(7) Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,

The unbelievers will stumble at the Word spoken in this last day. It will be “stone of stumbling” for MANY in the Gentile churches as they will reject what they will hear in their unbelief of it.

(8) And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.

They, like Peter, will begin to “curse and to swear” in their anger as they will deny Him as their King and will rail against those who will preach His Word. This is the “fullness of the Gentiles”….the fullness of sin....denying the Word of Truth and speaking out in wrath against it and against those who preach it.

Romans 11:25-27 KJV
(25) For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

All of the Jews shall be “saved”…that is, healed of their sins.

This is the sign of the Son of man in heaven: they will confess that Jesus is the King over them….the King of the Jews. None of them will deny it. Out of “Zion”….out of their confession that He is the King of the Jews….comes the Deliverer who will take away their sins. He will remember the covenant He has with them by the confession of their mouths.

(26) And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
(27) For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.

They will confess Him…that He is the “prince of the kings of the earth”….and their sins shall be washed in his blood. And of course, we gentiles who will do the same will be right there along with them. For in Christ Jesus, there will be no difference of Jew and Gentile.

Revelation 1:5-7 KJV
(5) And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
(6) And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

Behold, He comes with “clouds”…..”clouds” of Jews ….who will believe in the Word of Truth in this coming time….and many of those in the Gentile churches shall mourn when they will see this come upon the earth. They will then REMEMBER His WORDS that they would DENY Him before the “rooster” crows. They will have “stumbled upon the stone” but in the end will remember His words at the hearing of the confession of the Jews which will “crow” for all to hear and they will weep bitterly for their sins.

(7) Behold, he cometh with clouds;and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

Even so….amen!

To be continued….

Out of “Zion”….the “signpost” in which was written the confession: “This is the King of the Jews”…..the Deliverer shall come and turn away ungodliness from “Jacob”.

Romans 11:26-27 KJV
(26) And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
(27) For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.

For they “wrestle” with the man Jesus…..until the “breaking of the Day”…..until the day star shall dawn in their hearts when they will hear the Word of God preached in the Truth. All they will have heard before were men preaching themselves….thieves and robbers .

Genesis 32:
(24) And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.

They “halt upon the thigh”….

Genesis 32:
(31) And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh.

What is His name?

(29) And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there.

His name is written on the THIGH (Jacob halted upon the thigh): “King of kings and Lord of lords”.


Revelation 1916) And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

They shall see His “face” …the knowledge of God in the face of Jesus Christ….and their “life” shall return to them.

Genesis 32:
(30) And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.

The Jews will receive what they will hear en masse when they will hear it. They will not oppose it like so many of the Gentiles will but will confess that the Word is King over them. Out of the darkness shall the Light shine in their hearts….the Light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

2 Corinthians 4:6 KJV
(6) For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

They will follow after the Word of God spoken in Truth….as the “armies of heaven”. On His head were many crowns….for many, many will receive the Truth as King over their hearts, minds and souls.

Revelation 19:
(11) 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.
(12) His 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.

Many shall wash their robes in His blood….

(13) And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
(14) And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
(15) And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite 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.

What is the name of the “man” Jacob wrestled with?



They will no longer “halt upon the thigh”…for they will confess that He is the “King of kings and Lord of lords”.

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

The “fowls that fly in the midst of heaven” will be the words of the Word spoken in Truth….and will combat the errors of corrupt minds.


(17) And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;

The “armies of heaven” come armed with the Spirit….the Word of God spoken in Truth…to convict all that are ungodly in their hard speeches against His Word. These men in verse 18 are those of the churches who will be “sensual, not having the Spirit” in this coming time. Their “horses” are the words of war that have no spirit…no life…in them.

(18) That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.

We find in “Jude”….that is, in “Judah”….the “armies of heaven” coming to execute judgment upon all in the last day.

Jude 1:13-19 KJV
(13) Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.
(14) And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,
(15) To 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.
(16) These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage.

Remember the words…..the “fowls that fly in the midst of heaven”…..

(17) But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
(18) How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.

These men and their opposing words are flesh and not Spirit.

(19) These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.

They will trust in their own thoughts and ways and will not look unto the Holy One of Israel…neither will they seek Jehovah. They will be MANY and will feel reinforced with each other in their sins...their evil speaking.


Isaiah 31:1-9 KJV
(1) Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the LORD!
(2) Yet he also is wise, and will bring evil, and will not call back his words: but will arise against the house of the evildoers, and against the help of them that work iniquity.

These men….who show themselves as servants of corruption….the “Egyptians”…are sensual men….and their words are not spirit.

(3) Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When the LORD shall stretch out his hand, both he that helpeth shall fall, and he that is holpen shall fall down, and they all shall fail together.
(4) For thus hath the LORD spoken unto me, Like as the lion and the young lion roaring on his prey, when a multitude of shepherds is called forth against him, he will not be afraid of their voice, nor abase himself for the noise of them: so shall the LORD of hosts come down to fight for mount Zion, and for the hill thereof.

“As birds flying” will Jehovah of armies defend His people.

(5) As birds flying, so will the LORD of hosts defend Jerusalem; defending also he will deliver it; and passing over he will preserve it.
(6) Turn ye unto him from whom the children of Israel have deeply revolted.
(7) For in that day every man shall cast away his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which your own hands have made unto you for a sin.

The “sword” will be the Word of God that His armies will be armed with….


(8) Then shall the Assyrian fall with the sword, not of a mighty man; and the sword, not of a mean man, shall devour him: but he shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall be discomfited.

They shall be afraid of the “ensign”….the sign of the Son of man in heaven….for many will confess Him as King of kings and Lord of lords....as they come in "clouds" .

(9) And he shall pass over to his strong hold for fear, and his princes shall be afraid of the ensign, saith the LORD, whose fire is in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.

We are to be chosen for the “army” of God in this coming time…. “predestinated according to the purpose of Him”…..as it says in Ephesians.

We are to be the “ground troops”….the Army…. and His Word that we will speak in the Truth is the Air Force so to speak. There is power in the Word. We are to be His messengers….His saints that He comes in to execute judgment upon the ungodly resisters of the Truth.

The Gentiles who will first trust in Christ after hearing the Word of Truth in this last day and believing in it will be included in this army. The Gentile Christian is to “overcome” so that he or she is to be included. Each “messenger” of the 7 churches of “Asia” is to overcome. Not everyone in the Gentile churches will overcome….not everyone will trust in Christ at the same time and be saved .

Ephesians 1:11-14 KJV
(11) In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
(12) That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
(13) In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

But the Jews on the other hand, their salvation will be COMPLETE.

The letter by “Jude”…or “Judah”….the brother of “James” or “Jacob”….was wrote to an exclusively Jewish audience. Here in verse 3 he thought to write about the “common salvation” of them. The word “common” is usually not a good thing in the bible…but here, it is a good thing for the salvation of the Jews will be massive and complete in this coming time. They will not oppose the Word of Truth but all will trust in Christ.

He thought about writing about their “common salvation” but thought it was more important to get the troops mentally prepared for the “war”….the contending earnestly for the faith. They are to be a big part of this army and are urged that they should earnestly contend for the faith. There will be no time to revel in their being saved as there is an immediate task at hand.

Jude 1:3-4 KJV
(3) Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faithwhich was once delivered unto the saints.

The Jews are being briefed here in Jude. They are brought up to speed about what is going on the Gentile church…..that there are men currently opposing and contradicting the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ. The two uses of “Lord” are an indication that they have already received Him as King of kings and Lord of lords when they will truly understand this message.

(4) For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

He reminds his Jewish readers about their own past….how this is the same thing. “though you once knew this….” Get ready for “war” against the men of the churches who are evilly opposing our Lord.

(5) I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.

We (both Jew and the first-trusting Gentile) are to be His army….speaking His words of Truth.

The words are like “birds” that will fly in the “midst of heaven”. Words are like “birds” spoken in the medium of the air…. “heaven”…where they travel to another’s ear. Think of the illustration of “Twitter”….where people “tweet”. Not a hard concept to understand.

The fowls of heaven will “gather themselves together”….in other words, we are to remember the words of the prophets and apostles of Jesus.

Revelation 19:17-19 KJV
(17) And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;

We are to be “mindful” of the words spoken before by the holy prophets. Their words “are to gather together” in our minds by way of remembrance…..and then speak them.

Peter here writes to a Gentile audience….to be mindful of the words of the holy prophets ….for the Gentiles do not spend much time in the “Old testament”. We are also to remember to have love for one another…especially between Jew and Gentile. We are to keep the bond of peace.

2 Peter 3:1-3 KJV
(1) This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:
(2) That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:

Jude, on the other hand, writes to the Jews to remember the words that were spoken before by the APOSTLES of our Lord Jesus Christ….because their focus has always been on the “Old testament” and not the New.

Jude 1:17-18 KJV
(17) But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;

For “religious” men will come scoffing in this last day and walking after their own lusts.

(18) How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.

They will separate themselves. They will be “sensual”….not having the Spirit….no matter what they will claim. They will walk after the flesh in their rebellion against the Truth.

Revelation 19: (18) That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.

They will “separate themselves”…..and will scoff at the Truth.

(19) And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.

They will be gathered together in their rebellion.

Jude 1:19 KJV
(19) These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.

The epistle to the Ephesians is one of the letters to the “armies” of heaven. This letter was written to a church that consisted of both Jew and Gentile….and has special relevance for today.

He comes in the “clouds” for He blesses us (both Jew and Gentile) with all spiritual blessings in the “heavenly places” in Christ. The “clouds” are in the heavenly places….the “air”…. where we will speak His Word in Truth…Christ Jesus.

We will not literally leave this terra firma but will be able to speak His Word in Truth in the medium where words “fly” (heaven) to others ears…the air between us.

Ephesians 1:3-6 KJV
(3) Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

His army will be dressed in “white linen”….clean and white….that is, we shall be holy and without blame before Him in love. We shall love one another….truly.

He will have chosen us before the “foundation” of the world. The Greek word for “foundation” is “katabole” which means “to cast down, throw down”. He gathers His heavenly army before the casting down of this “world”….this current religious world with all of its errors and opposition to the Truth spoken. Error has ruled over many but it will cast down..

(4) According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
(5) Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
(6) To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.

We are chosen before the casting down of this current religious world of error-filled voices of men. Nothing is “hurt” until the servants of God are “sealed”. Judgment does not come until the 144,000….which are really “myriads” of His saints….are sealed. They are sealed with the “holy Spirit of promise”.

Revelation 7:2-3 KJV
(2) And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
(3) Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.

Those who will believe in the Word of Truth….who will first trust in Christ….will be “sealed” before the casting down of this world….before the “earth and the sea” are hurt. We are to be His armies that will be helpers with the Lord in redeeming His purchased possession. Only those Gentiles who will FIRST trust in Christ after believing in the Word of Truth will be sealed with that “holy Spirit of promise”. They must overcome. All of the Jews will receive Him and be sealed. Their salvation will be all encompassing.

Ephesians 1:11-14 KJV
(11) In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
(12) That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
(13) In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
(14) Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.

To be continued….

The Lord is coming with His armies against those men of the churches who will persist in speaking out evil against His revealed Word and who will speak against those who do it. They will be surprised by the sudden appearance of them.

Jude 1:14-16 KJV
(14) And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,
(15) To 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.
(16) These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage.

This is the honor of all of His saints…His armies: to have the high praises of God in their mouths and a two-edged sword in their hand to execute upon them the judgment that is written. The sword of the Spirit is the Word of God in their mouths.

Psalms 149:5-9 KJV
(5) Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds.
(6) Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a twoedged sword in their hand;
(7) To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;
(8) To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;
(9) To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD.

Will people in this coming time resist the powers that are ordained of God?

Romans 13:1-4 KJV
(1) Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
(2) Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
(3) For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:

His armies will be for the good of people….but beware, they will not bear the Sword in vain against those he will speak out in evil against His Truth.

(4) For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.

The armies have rules of engagement .

Ephesians 6:10-20 KJV
(10) Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
(11) Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

This will not be a literal war but one of words against religious men who exalt themselves with proud, wrathful words.

(12) For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

His armies are to be armed with the whole armor of God….in Truth….in righteousness…..in peace….in faith…..in conduct that shows forth His salvation..

(13) Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
(14) Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
(15) And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
(16) Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

The “rulers” are to have the sword of the Spirit….the Word of God…in their mouths….for they will be His ministers.

(17) And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

“Praying” is to speak His Word before others…..

(18) Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
(19) And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,
(20) For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

The 144,000 is symbolic of this coming army of saints. The Father’s name shall be written in their foreheads.

Revelation 14:1-11 KJV
(1) And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.
(2) And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:
(3) And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.

They will not defile themselves with “women”…that is, their tongues…for they will not render evil for evil nor will any deceit be found in their mouths. They are His armies and will conduct themselves according to the rules of engagement.

(4) These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.
(5) And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.

Who will stand with the Lamb upon Mount Zion?

Psalms 24:1-5 KJV
(1) A Psalm of David. The earth is the LORD'S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
(2) For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.
(3) Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place?

Only they who can overcome….those who have “clean hands”….a clean speech….and those of a pure heart who will not have lifted themselves up against what they will hear and who will not have spoken deceit in their mouths.

(4) He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.
(5) He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
(6) This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah.

The Father’s name will be written in their foreheads….. “lift up your heads”.

(7) Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.

Who is the King of glory? What is His name that will be written on the forehead? Jehovah strong and mighty. Jehovah mighty in battle.

(8) Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.
(9) Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.

Who is this King of glory? What is His name? Jehovah of armies….He is the King of glory.

(10) Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah.

We are to overcome to be a part of His armies….

Revelation 2:26-29 KJV
(26) And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:
(27) And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.
(28) And I will give him the morning star.
(29) He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

Revelation 3:21-22 KJV
(21) To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
(22) He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

To be continued…

But before this army comes, there will be “persecution”…..tribulation…of those in the Gentile churches who will receive the Word of Truth.

We are to endure unto the “end”….being steadfast in the belief of the Truth…as He will arrive with His great armies. All who will live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted by those who will not believe. A man’s foes will be of his own household….his own church family that he once belonged to. Parting from them will be a difficult thing. It will not sit well with them and they will speak evil of us….gossiping maliciously…saying hurtful things such as calling us “evil doers”. They will think it “strange” that we will no longer run with them after the covetousness practices of religious men in high places.

2 Thessalonians 1:4-12 KJV
(4) So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure:
(5) Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer:
(6) Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;

The Lord Jesus shall be revealed from “heaven” with His mighty “angels”…that is, His messengers….His armies who will follow Him who is the King of kings and Lord of lords.

(7) And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
(8) In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
(9) Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;
(10) When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.
(11) Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power:
(12) That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

But in the meantime, we will be kept by the power of God through FAITH unto salvation…..

1 Peter 1:3-9 KJV
(3) Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
(4) To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
(5) Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

…for now (for a “season”) we will be in “heaviness through manifold temptations” as those who will hear and believe in the Word of Truth shall endure “persecutions” by their very own for their faith in it.

(6) Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:
(7) That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
(8) Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
(9) Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.

If we “suffer” with Him, then we shall also be glorified together with Him. We are to be faithful unto the “death”…..by not rendering evil for their evil…..keeping ourselves in the love of God as we will endure persecutions for our belief.

Romans 8:16-19 KJV
(16) The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
(17) And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

The sufferings of this “present time”…..the coming time when we will be persecuted for our faith in the Word of Truth…..are nothing compared to the glory which shall be revealed in us. When the time comes, many will truly understand what is being said here for they will be “suffering” evil speaking at the mouths of those who will not agree with us. But it will be worth it in the end….many times over the persecutions.

(18) For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
(19) For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.

We are to “gird up the loins of our minds and be sober”….as we await in hope for the grace that is to be brought unto us at the revelation of Him. We will be part of this revelation of Jesus Christ…as we shall be His messengers.

1 Peter 1:13-16 KJV
(13) Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

We are to be obedient (hearing attentively) children….not fashioning ourselves according the former “lusts in our ignorance”. That is, the way we thought and did things in our former “church” practices which were done in ignorance of the Truth. We are not to render evil for evil.

(14) As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:
(15) But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
(16) Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

We are not to think it strange concerning the “fiery trial” which is to test our faith in the revealed Word of Truth.

1 Peter 4:12-14 KJV
(12) Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:

Instead, we are to rejoice in the partaking of Christ’s sufferings…..for He suffered likewise by sinners and contradictors. This will be nothing compared to the glory that shall be revealed.

(13) But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.

We are not to render evil for their evil as they will speak evil of the Word and of us. We will be “reproached” for the “name” of Christ….for acknowledging His authority over us. The Word of God spoken in Truth and not in the wisdom of man is “King” over us.

(14) If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.

The adversary the “devil”…. The “false accusers”…will walk about testing your faith in the Word of Truth by speaking evil of you…but we are to be vigilant in not rendering evil for their evil. We are not to speak out in wrath against the false accusations.

1 Peter 5:8-10 KJV
(8) Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

We are to resist them steadfast in the faith….keeping the revealed Word of God within our hearts in all belief. Many of our brothers will be suffering the same afflictions. We shall have company as there will be others in the Gentile churches who will also receive the Truth.

(9) Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.

After we have “suffered a while”, He will make us perfect and establish us and strengthen us….and settle us. We shall be built up as a living building that can not be toppled. The “gates of hell”….the mouths of ungodly men…will not prevail against us.

(10) But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.


to be continued....

In this coming day when many are escaping from those living in error, the modern-day “Amaleks” of the churches will come forth FIRST to deceive the “unstable souls” who will waver in their faith of the Word of Truth. They will take the “feeble” who are trailing behind with their great swelling words of vanity. They will promise them “liberty” but are really slaves of their own covetousness.

2 Peter 2:14-20 KJV
(14) Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:

The Amaleks will have forsaken the right way and will have gone astray because they will love the wages of unrighteousness more than God. They will use their flattering tongues (Babylon) to deceive those who will be escaping from them. They will like things to continue as they always have….deceiving people out of their money, time, peace, joy, righteousness with the deceptive handling of the Word of God. They will like to keep you in their company under their influence.

(15) Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;
(16) But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbad the madness of the prophet.
(17) These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever.

Like the Amaleks did to those “feeble” who were escaping from Egypt, they will meet those by the Way of Truth and smite the “hindermost”…..all the “feeble” behind those who are escaping. The “feeble” are those who will waver in their faith in the hearing of the Truth….. “unstable souls”.

(18) For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.
(19) While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.

The children of Israel were escaping Egypt….and so in this last day we also shall be escaping the pollutions of this religious world (with all of its errors and its enslavement to the covetousness of religious men in high places) through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The Amaleks will be there to try to entangle you AGAIN…..

(20) For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.

The modern-day Amaleks love the wages of unrighteousness and will be the first enemies to “attack” the unstable who will waver in the faith of the Word of Truth. They have hearts “exercised with covetous practices”….and will not renounce the hidden things of dishonesty but will continue to walk in craftiness handling the Word of God deceitfully. They will love to have differing weights so to speak.

Deuteronomy 25:13-19 KJV
(13) Thou shalt not have in thy bag divers weights, a great and a small.
(14) Thou shalt not have in thine house divers measures, a great and a small.

They will forsake the right way…..

(15) But thou shalt have a perfect and just weight, a perfect and just measure shalt thou have: that thy days may be lengthened in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

They are “cursed children”.....an abomination unto Jehovah our God.

(16) For all that do such things, and all that do unrighteously, are an abomination unto the LORD thy God.
(17) Remember what Amalek did unto thee by the way, when ye were come forth out of Egypt;

The Hebrew word for “feeble” means “to make unsteady”……as they will deceive the “unstable souls” who are escaping from those living in error in their churches.

(18) How he met thee by the way, and smote the hindmost of thee, even all that were feeble behind thee, when thou wast faint and weary; and he feared not God.

The modern-day Amaleks are “cursed children” for their remembrance shall be blotted out from under heaven.

(19) Therefore it shall be, when the LORD thy God hath given thee rest from all thine enemies round about, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it, that thou shalt blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven; thou shalt not forget it.

They are “cursed children”….for Jehovah shall have war with Amalek from generation to generation.

Exodus 17:14-16 KJV
(14) And the LORD said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: for I will utterly put out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.
(15) And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovahnissi:
(16) For he said, Because the LORD hath sworn that the LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.

The modern-day Amaleks will not renounce the hidden things of dishonesty (having divers weights) and will deceive those who will be “feeble”….faint and weary…in the faith in this coming time.

2 Corinthians 4:1-5 KJV
(1) Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;
(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:
(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.

The Amaleks will preach themselves and not Christ Jesus the Lord.

(5) For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.

Woe to those Amaleks who will “covet an evil covetousness to his house”. They will bring in “damnable heresies” as they will promise those who will be escaping from them “liberty”. They will be promising that no evil shall come upon them. “peace and safety”.

Habakkuk 2:9-10 KJV
(9) Woe to him that coveteth an evil covetousness to his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the power of evil!
(10) Thou hast consulted shame to thy house by cutting off many people, and hast sinned against thy soul.

The Amaleks have covetousness as their king….and they shall with feigned words make merchandise of you in this coming time when one is escaping from them. They can’t be trusted. Their “peace and safety” message will bring upon themselves “swift destruction”.

2 Peter 2:1-3 KJV
(1) But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
(2) And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
(3) And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.

We are to “mortify”….to “deaden” …the tongue that speaks through covetousness which is idolatry.

Colossians 3:5 KJV
(5) Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:

Beware of covetousness….. Agag, the king of Amalek. “Agag” means “flame” and represents the “flame” of covetousness that burns in the heart of the Amaleks. Their “god” is their own belly.

1 Samuel 15:18-26 KJV
(18) And the LORD sent thee on a journey, and said, Go and utterly destroy the sinners the Amalekites, and fight against them until they be consumed.
(19) Wherefore then didst thou not obey the voice of the LORD, but didst fly upon the spoil, and didst evil in the sight of the LORD?
(20) And Saul said unto Samuel, Yea, I have obeyed the voice of the LORD, and have gone the way which the LORD sent me, and have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and have utterly destroyed the Amalekites.
(21) But the people took of the spoil, sheep and oxen, the chief of the things which should have been utterly destroyed, to sacrifice unto the LORD thy God in Gilgal.
(22) And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.
(23) For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king.
(24) And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned: for I have transgressed the commandment of the LORD, and thy words: because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice.
(25) Now therefore, I pray thee, pardon my sin, and turn again with me, that I may worship the LORD.
(26) And Samuel said unto Saul, I will not return with thee: for thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, and the LORD hath rejected thee from being king over Israel.

Through covetousness have many with feigned words deceived many. With their “sword”, they have made “women childless”. Many have not spoken the Word of God in Truth because of the covetousness of “religious” men in high places.

1 Samuel 15:32-33 KJV
(32) Then said Samuel, Bring ye hither to me Agag the king of the Amalekites. And Agag came unto him delicately. And Agag said, Surely the bitterness of death is past.
(33) And Samuel said, As thy sword hath made women childless, so shall thy mother be childless among women. And Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before the LORD in Gilgal.

Amaleks use “flattering words”….with the “sword” of their mouths….to deceive…a cloak for their covetousness.

1 Thessalonians 2:4-7 KJV
(4) But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts.
(5) For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloke of covetousness; God is witness:

They seek glory of men….

(6) Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ.
(7) But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children:

This is the will of God….even our sanctification…that we should abstain from “fornication”….which is covetousness.

1 Thessalonians 4:2-8 KJV
(2) For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus.
(3) For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:
(4) That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;
(5) Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:

“Fornication” is covetousness….defrauding others with our feigned words. The Lord is the avenger of all such…for He will war against the Amaleks from generation to generation.

(6) That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified.
(7) For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.
(8) He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit.

We are COMMANDED not to keep company with the covetous….those who walk “disorderly”…

2 Thessalonians 3:6-9 KJV
(6) Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us.
(7) For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you;
(8) Neither did we eat any man's bread for nought; but wrought with labour and travail night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you:
(9) Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us.

Moses’ hands were “heavy” as Joshua fought with Amalek.

Exodus 17:10-13 KJV
(10) So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.

Whenever Moses’ hand was held up, Israel prevailed and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.

(11) And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.

Aaron and Hur took a stone and put it under Moses and sat him on it. The “stone” represents the foundation of the apostles and prophets….with Jesus Christ being the chief cornerstone. Aaron and Hur also “stayed up his hands”.

(12) But Moses' hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.
(13) And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.

Moses represents the Law. ALL of the Law and the prophets hang on two commandments.

Matthew 22:36-40 KJV
(36) Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
(37) Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
(38) This is the first and great commandment.
(39) And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
(40) On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

We UPHOLD the Law (Moses’ hands) by FAITH. We are to have faith in the Word of God when we hear it spoken in Truth. If we do not have faith, then the “Amaleks” of the church will prevail against us.

“establish” = upholding the Law by faith.

Romans 3:30-31 KJV
(30) Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.
(31) Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.

Aaron held up one hand. “Aaron”…. which means “mountain” ….represents FAITH and we uphold the Law with faith. If we have faith as a grain of mustard seed, we shall say unto this “mountain”……

Matthew 17:20 KJV
(20) And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

On the other hand of Moses was Hur. “Hur” means “white linen”….righteousness. We FULFILL the Law by doing His commandments. Not only do we believe in the Word of Truth but we are to do what it says. If we hear His sayings and DO them, then we are likened unto a wise man which built his house upon a rock. Moses was put on a “rock” to sit on.

Matthew 7:24-25 KJV
(24) Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

The “Amaleks” will not prevail if we hear and do His sayings. We uphold the Law by believing (as represented by Aaron) in His Word and doing what it says (Hur)…thereby fulfilling the Law. Moses’ hands will be “stayed up” through faith and doing His sayings. The house will be founded upon a “rock”…that is Christ Jesus.

(25) And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

We are to be built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ being the chief cornerstone. The “rock” that Moses sat on was the foundation of the apostles and prophets which is kept together by a “cornerstone”…..Jesus Christ….the Word of God spoken in Truth.

Ephesians 2:19-20 KJV
(19) Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
(20) And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;

Faith in the Word of God without doing what it says is “dead”. We are to have love for one another.

James 2:26 KJV
(26) For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

Moses’ hands were “heavy” at the fighting of the Amaleks.

Religious men burden the people with their vain traditions and commandments of men. They negate the Word of God ( to have love for one another) by placing these burdens upon men. Men fight and war over strange doctrines….traditions and commandments of men…which divide them into hateful factions. Not only is the church divided into many different denominations but we have the biggest division of them all: Gentiles vs Jews.

But Christ Jesus…the Word of God spoken in Truth…shall make both ONE by breaking down the “middle wall of partition” between Jew and Gentile. He is our peace so that we may be of ONE house…..ONE new man. He slays the hostility between us. We are to have love for one another.

Ephesians 2:13-16 KJV
(13) But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
(14) For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;
(15) Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;
(16) And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:

The scribes and the Pharisees sat in Moses’ “seat”. That “seat” is the stone that Moses sat upon as they waged war with the Amaleks. That “seat” is the writings of the apostles and the prophets. The “scribes and the Pharisees” preach the Word but they do not do what it says because they prefer to stick with their traditions and commandments which divide the people. The “Amaleks” prevail under this type of situation. They deceive many with their gracious-sounding words as they are seen as authorities over the Word of God. Their interpretations are but of their own earthly imaginations motivated by coveting for others “gold, silver and apparel”.

Matthew 23:1-11 KJV
(1) Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,
(2) Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:
(3) All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.

They bind heavy burdens on people that are grievous to be borne.

(4) For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.

They love for their good works….their “wonderful works” ….to be seen of men. They love their exalted reputations and positions among the religious. They love to be greeted as such. They love to be greeted in the market places….as their words, books, etc are readily received (bought) by many. They market their ministries to their captive consumers and so grow rich. Yet, they do NOTHING to help the people they affect. Their great, swelling words of emptiness are not truly profitable to their followers but only make them merchandise.

(5) But all their works they do for to be seen of men:they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,
(6) And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,
(7) And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
(8) But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.
(9) And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
(10) Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.
(11) But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.

The Jews and Gentiles will become ONE. We see in Acts 19 ALL of the Jews and the Greeks at Ephesus BELIEVED and so the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified. The Word of God that will be revealed will be seen as King of kings and Lord of lords over them and so shall unite them in peace and love for one another. There will be no arguing over men’s commandments and interpretations.

Verse 17 should be arranged like so: And this was known to ALL Jews and also the Greeks dwelling at Ephesus. In this last day, ALL of the Jews will hear and believe and those Gentiles who are at “Ephesus”….those who will “FIRST” trust in what they hear….Christ Jesus….shall magnify the name of the Lord Jesus. Not ALL of the “Greeks” will hear and obey…..only those who will FIRST trust in Him shall be part of His army that will come to execute judgment upon all of the ungodly and their harsh speeches against the Truth.

Acts 19:17-20 KJV
(17) And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.

They believed and confessed and “showed their deeds”. That is, they “stayed up” Moses hands. They upheld the Law in having faith of the Word and fulfilled it by having love for one another…. “showing their deeds”. Their faith was not “dead”.

(18) And many that believed came, and confessed, and shewed their deeds.

The “curious arts” are the “ the law of commandments contained in ordinances”. The word for “curious arts” means “to work all around, busy bodies”. Religious men’s commandments have come about in their covetous impatience to wait on our Lord and they are empty. The adherence to them produces strife and envy and divisions….especially between Jew and Gentile. The price of them = 50,000 pieces of silver. When we uphold the Law and fulfill it, we are “staying up” the hands of Moses. Moses = 5 and there are 10 fingers (5 x 10 = 50). The number 50 signifies fulfilling all righteousness…by loving
God with all of our hearts, minds and souls and by having love for one another. We are to receive the love for His Word over our own thoughts and ways.

(19) Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together, and burned them before all men:and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.

And so the Word of God will grow mightily and prevail against the “Amaleks” as we will preach His Word of Truth.

(20) So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed.

Again, the number 50 signifies fulfilling all righteousness. At “Pentecost” ….which means “fiftieth”….they were all together of ONE accord in ONE place. They were of one mind and body.

Acts 2:1-5 KJV
(1) And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
(2) And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
(3) And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
(4) And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
(5) And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.

As Moses went up into the mount, Jesus also was taken up and a cloud received him out of their sight.

Acts 1:9-10 KJV
(9) And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.


continued in next post.....

.....continued from previous post.





Two men in “white apparel” stood with them as they looked steadfastly toward heaven.

(10) And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;

Moses also left two men with the children of Israel…. Aaron and Hur. We also were to tarry here for the Lord…to wait upon His return. The “two men”…. Aaron and Hur represent FAITH and the “white linen” of His people….His righteousness….that is, His commandment to have love for one another.

But “busybodies” grew impatient and invented many traditions and commandments of men. The gold “calf” of the lips of many was only for their covetousness and so has made many people unclothed….that is, without righteousness…..without “white linen”….without Hur. Hur seemed to have disappeared at the time of the gold calf.

Exodus 24:13-15 KJV
(13) And Moses rose up, and his minister Joshua: and Moses went up into the mount of God.
(14) And he said unto the elders, Tarry ye here for us, until we come again unto you: and, behold, Aaron and Hur are with you: if any man have any matters to do, let him come unto them.
(15) And Moses went up into the mount, and a cloud covered the mount.

“Aaron and Hur” (the two men in white apparel) were left with us as Jesus was taken up and a cloud received him out of our sight. “Hur”….meaning “white linen”….represents the “new commandment” to have love for one another.

John 13:33-35 KJV
(33) Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come; so now I say to you.
(34) A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
(35) By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

“Aaron” represents faith that we were to have also: “….ye BELIEVE in God, BELIEVE also in me….”

John 14:1-4 KJV
(1) Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.

….for he went up to prepare a place for us so that when he will come again, he will receive us unto Himself. He left us with FAITH and the NEW COMMANDMENT to have love for one another. He left "Aaron and Hur" with us. Like Moses, He will come again..

(2) In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
(3) And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
(4) And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.

Likewise, the children of Israel were supposed to “tarry”…WAIT…patiently for Moses to come down from the mount. But “Hur” seemed to have gone missing in the episode of the gold calf. Some say he was killed because they didn’t want to hear his rebuke for what they were doing.

Faith WITHOUT works is “dead”. Faith in man’s wisdom only will deprive you of your “white apparel”…..His righteousness. Man’s teachings of his own flattering lips….the “gold calf” of their lips….will only deprive you of peace, joy and patience. “Hur” has gone missing. Many have broken off the gold earrings of their wise reprovers…they have not be obedient to the Word...the Saying... of God….to have love for one another. They stopped listening and have surrounded themselves with teachers teaching what their itching ears want to hear.

Exodus 32:24-25 KJV
(24) And I said unto them, Whosoever hath any gold, let them break it off. So they gave it me: then I cast it into the fire, and there came out this calf.
(25) And when Moses saw that the people were naked; (for Aaron had made them naked unto their shame among their enemies

The preaching of the Word has been “out of season”….because many do not endure sound doctrine. “Hur” was not listened to . Like the children of Israel, they have heaped to themselves teachers (the gold calf of their lips) teaching what they lust after….strife and debate. Their ears have turned from the Truth as they have broken off the “gold earrings” out of their ears…..leaving themselves “itching ears”.

2 Timothy 4:2-4 KJV
(2) Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
(3) For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
(4) And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

Proverbs 25:12 KJV
[FONT=&quot](12) As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear.

[/FONT][FONT=&quot]But Jesus is our atonement for our sin...

Exodus 32:30-35 KJV
(30) And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses said unto the people, Ye have sinned a great sin: and now I will go up unto the LORD; peradventure I shall make an atonement for your sin.
(31) And Moses returned unto the LORD, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold.
(32) Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin--; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written.
(33) And the LORD said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book.
(34) Therefore now go, lead the people unto the place of which I have spoken unto thee: behold, mine Angel shall go before thee: nevertheless in the day when I visit I will visit their sin upon them.
(35) And the LORD plagued the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron made.


[/FONT]

Again, as an earring of gold, so is a wise reprover upon an “obedient” ear…..that is, upon an ear that LISTENS to the Word of Truth and does what is said.

Proverbs 25:12 KJV
(12) As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear.

Like the children of Israel did in the desert, many have heaped to themselves teachers and have turned their ears from the Truth and are turned unto “fables”.

2 Timothy 4:3-4 KJV
(3) For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
(4) And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

“Fables” are the commandments of men that lead many people astray from the truth….from having love for one another. They are “idols” made for their followers to worship and are designed to get things from the sheep such as worship, honor, glory, money, time, etc.

Titus 1:14 KJV
(14) Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.

As some of the children of Israel became impatient while waiting on Moses, after their lusts they broke off the “golden earrings” which were in their ears. They stopped listening to sound doctrine and those who were preaching it and were turned unto “fables”.

Exodus 32:2-4 KJV
(2) And Aaron said unto them, Break off the golden earrings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them unto me.
(3) And all the people brake off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron.

They “heaped” to themselves teachers teaching what they wanted to hear. The “graving tool” is the wisdom of men and the “molten calf” is the saying of the lips itself: “These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt”. The words themselves bring people who listen to them into bondage. The “teachers” reinforce their authority over the sheep: listen to me and follow what I say, etc.

(4) And he received them at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, after he had made it a molten calf: and they said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.

And so Aaron built an altar before it. The “altar” is the commandment that was made by Aaron…. for he made a “proclamation” and said “Tomorrow is a feast to Jehovah”. A commandment of man was formed and the people were expected to follow…worship… it.

(5) And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said, To morrow is a feast to the LORD.

And so they followed the commandment of man…..the proclamation made by Aaron….

(6) And they rose up early on the morrow, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play.

Many are following the vain commandments of men. These are no “gods” that they are doing service to. These are not the “gods” who bring you out of bondage to sin.

Galatians 4:8-10 KJV
(8) Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods.

Instead, they bring you into bondage…..the yoke of bondage of the molten calf.

(9) But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?

“Tomorrow is a feast unto Jehovah”…..and many other commandments of men.

(10) Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years.

Again, “fables” and commandments of men will turn us away from the Truth. The following of men’s teachings of commandments and traditions makes the Word of God of none effect. Religious men fight and war over their invented commandments and traditions. They “bite and devour” each other ….not having love for one another. They sit down to “eat and drink” and rise up to mock. They come together not for the better because it results in divisions of the body of Christ. They expect those who sit with them at their “feast” to bow down to their “tenets of faith” and the resulting commandments that support them.

Titus 1:14 KJV
(14) Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.

Following the commandments of men will turn aside one quickly out of the Way of righteousness.

Exodus 32:7-8 KJV
(7) And the LORD said unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves:
(8) They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.

The “molten calf” of men honors God with the lips….but their hearts are far from Him. The hearts of those who teach commandments of men are after their own covetousness.

Mark 7:6-8 KJV
(6) He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

In vain do they worship Him, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. Teaching for doctrines the commandments of men leads one away quickly from the commandment of God.

(7) Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
(8) For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.

Do we really want to be entangled in the yoke of bondage…..the “yoke” of bondage of the “molten calf?” He made us free and not to be brought into the bondage of the “molten calf” of men.

Galatians 5:1 KJV
(1) Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

Our faith should not stand in the wisdom of men……the “graving tool.” The “enticing words” of man’s wisdom is a graving tool. “Molten” = “pouring” over as a covering. Men teach deceitfully.

1 Corinthians 2:4-5 KJV
(4) And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
(5) That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

The “molten calf” seeks to bring you into bondage by following the traditions and commandments of men so that they may glory after the flesh.

2 Corinthians 11:18-20 KJV
(18) Seeing that many glory after the flesh, I will glory also.
(19) For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye yourselves are wise.
(20) For ye suffer, if a man bring you into bondage, if a man devour you, if a man take of you, if a man exalt himself, if a man smite you on the face.

The “molten calf” of men’s lips exalt themselves. They hold themselves up as great men of God in order to entangle us in their schemes. They zealously affect many….but not for the better.

Galatians 4:17 KJV
(17) They zealously affect you, but not well; yea, they would exclude you, that ye might affect them.

Like Simon in Acts who used “sorcery”, they deceive others with their fair words and beautiful speeches into thinking that they are someone great and that we should follow after them.

Acts 8:9-11 KJV
(9) But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one:
(10) To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God.
(11) And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries.

The “molten calf” of men’s lips speaks in deceit because of the hidden covetousness.

1 Thessalonians 2:3-6 KJV
(3) For our exhortation was not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile:

The “molten calf” speaks enticing words to please men…..

(4) But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts.

The “molten calf” speaks flattering words for a covering to conceal the covetousness in the heart….

(5) For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloke of covetousness; God is witness:

The “molten calf” seeks glory from men….

(6) Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ.
