Peace in Christ.
We are to seek first the kingdom/government of God and His righteousness….and all of the things that the outside nations seek after shall be added to us.
The earth then will flow with “milk and honey” rather than produce thorns and thistles for us.
Mat 6:31-33 KJV
(31) Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
(32) (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
(33) But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
For Jesus gives us life (an age-lasting life in this mortal body) and we shall have it more abundantly (all the earthly things shall be added to us.) We shall be saved and go out into this world and find “pasture.”
Joh 10:9-10 KJV
(9) I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
(10) The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
Let us not seek the government of the man-based churches whose handwritings of ordinances/dogmas they keep and serve rather than the internal writings of God’s commandments upon our hearts and minds …His government. We must go OUT of them who keep and serve their handwritings. We go out of them and we will then find "good pasture".
Eze 34:13-15 KJV
(13) And I will bring them out from the people, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land, and feed them upon the mountains of Israel by the rivers, and in all the inhabited places of the country.
(14) I will feed them in a good pasture, and upon the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie in a good fold, and in a fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of Israel.
(15) I will feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord GOD.
The church handwritings of ordinances/dogmas are the “accursed” thing …a thing devoted to destruction…among us. The mystery of this iniquity is already at works among us.
We mortally perish with the keeping of them. Why willingly subject ourselves to their ordinances? They do nothing to save the mortal body but instead destroy it.
Col 2:20-22 KJV
(20) Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances,
(21) (Touch not; taste not; handle not;
(22) Which all are to perish with the using) after the commandments and doctrines of men?
They...the commandments and doctrines of men... bring us trouble. The “accursed thing” = the doomed object….the thing devoted to destruction which destroys those who keep and serve it.
That destroying/doomed thing is the church documents…the handwritings of ordinances of church scribes that are being kept and served among the churches of earthly-minded men. We make ourselves “accursed” with it as we perish in the wrath of God with the keeping and serving of them.
Jos 6:18 KJV
(18) And ye, in any wise keep yourselves from the accursed thing, lest ye make yourselves accursed, when ye take of the accursed thing, and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it.
We must “arise” up and be sanctified by taking away the “accursed thing” among us. The glory of God is not with us any more when we have the "accursed thing" among our gatherings of His worship. Remember the story of “Achan”….which means “trouble”….
Jos 7:11-13 KJV
(11) Israel hath sinned, and they have also transgressed my covenant which I commanded them: for they have even taken of the accursed thing, and have also stolen, and dissembled also, and they have put it even among their own stuff.
(12) Therefore the children of Israel could not stand before their enemies, but turned their backs before their enemies, because they were accursed: neither will I be with you any more, except ye destroy the accursed from among you.
(13) Up, sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow: for thus saith the LORD God of Israel, There is an accursed thing in the midst of thee, O Israel: thou canst not stand before thine enemies, until ye take away the accursed thing from among you.
The mystery of THE iniquity (the placing of the church handwriting of ordinances inside the churches of men) is already at work: it brings us trouble.
2Th 2:7
(7) For the mystery of THE (definite article) iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
It is the “abomination of desolation” as the whole group of people who keep and serve their handwritings are void of the appearing glory of God for it is “desolate” of it because of it.
God will not give His glory to them nor their “graven images”…their handwritings that they keep and serve where it should not be found. It desolates the place of His glory. The glory has departed. We must flee the land of Judas (those who are following in the footsteps of Judas) and flee to the mountains where we shall find "green pasture."
Mar 13:14 KJV
(14) But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:
The glory of God is currently being exchanged into an image (a church handwriting of ordinances) made like the documents of the outside people of this world who are likened to the beasts of this earth as they go on all fours (like mindless instinctual animals) after earthly things. They rush after these things. They creep upon the earth after these things.
Rom 1:22-23 KJV
(22) Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
(23) And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
It is the abomination that causes the desolation (God’s glory departing.)
Let him that reads understand: Daniel could “read” and understand (make known) the handwriting on the wall….which was God’s “meme” of man’s handwritings of ordinances….the decrees. It is pointing to us what the abomination of desolation is.
Dan 5:17 KJV
(17) Then Daniel answered and said before the king, Let thy gifts be to thyself, and give thy rewards to another; yet I will read the writing unto the king, and make known to him the interpretation.
This is in contrast to the king’s men who could not read and understand…
Dan 5:8 KJV
(8) Then came in all the king's wise men: but they could not read the writing, nor make known to the king the interpretation thereof.
The abomination of desolation is the handwritings (of man’s hand) of ordinances.
It...the writing of a man’s hand…. is “against” the light (candlestick =shining)...the glory light of God. It is found in the King’s “palace”…that is, His temple.
Dan 5:5
(5) In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote over against the candlestick (SHINING LIGHT) upon the plaister of the wall of the king's palace (TEMPLE): and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote.
We must flee it when we “see”…when we understand…what the abomination of desolation is. That is our sanctification. We must come out from among them who keep and serve their handwritings and be separate and no longer be attached to the “dead body” of the man-based church gatherings.
In doing so, the glory of God will then arise upon you....and the people of the outside world shall see His light and be attracted to it. The curse....the accursed thing...shall not be there. We shall then serve God in His government (the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it). The Lord God shall give us His glory light and we shall reign in this earth with Him and the Lamb.
Rev 22:3-5 KJV
(3) And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:
(4) And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.
(5) And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.
We are to seek first the kingdom/government of God and His righteousness….and all of the things that the outside nations seek after shall be added to us.
The earth then will flow with “milk and honey” rather than produce thorns and thistles for us.
