Peace in Christ.
Again, the kingdom/government of God does not come with “observation”….that is, the observing of external handwritings of church ordinances.
Luk 17:20-21 KJV
(20) And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
The kingdom/government of God is within us.
His commandments are written upon our hearts and our minds...... and not with ink as the external church handwritings of the false prophets who deceive many by their performance of outward signs and the speaking of enticing words of emptiness into going and observing…to keep and serve…their writings.
(21) Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
They….the church scribes and the Pharisees (which means “separatists”=denominational churches) say “Lo here” or “lo there” and deceive many into the keeping of their handwritings and attending their places of worship.
They shut up the government/kingdom of Heaven by deceiving people into going to their “churches” and seeking their church government first and their respective official handwritings of ordinances (their church “constitutions”, church by-laws, statements of faith, etc, etc, etc.) rather than seek the government of God which is WITHIN us and His righteousness (His commandments that are written in our hearts and our minds).
Mat 23:13 KJV
(13) But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.
Again, what agreement does the temple of God has with “idols”…that is, images.
The images are the kept and served churches’ externally-written handwritings of ordinances/dogmas (church constitutions, bylaws, statements of faith, etc whereas they “govern themselves” and judge themselves rather than be in God’s government/kingdom which is in the heart).
2Co 6:16-18 KJV
(16) And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
We must “COME OUT FROM AMONG THEM AND BY SEPARATE” and not be attached to the dead body of the unbelievers in their “churches” (man-based, hand-written organizations). They will not believe in what they will hear the Spirit saying to them in this coming time.
(17) Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
We are to go to the Father outside the man-based church organizations.
(18) And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
The Father gives us a commandment to do: “Arise, let us go hence”. We will then show them that we love the Father by doing so.
John 14:30-31 KJV
(30) Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.
(31) But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.
When we leave their congregations, they will persecute us….but let us put on the whole armor of God so that we may be able to withstand their fiery darts aimed at us in the “evil day”.
We wrestle against their “principalities and powers”….their handwritings….that they use to “rule” us with of which Satan and his "ministers" have deceived many into keeping and serving rather than seek the government/kingdom of God (that is within the heart) first and His righteousness. The whole system in control of the wicked one who only savors the outward things of men....their handwritings. The wicked one's system has it's false Christ and false prophets promoting him and teaching the outward handwritings of men so that we do not enter into the government/kingdom of God in this life we are living in now.
Eph 6:10-13 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.
(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.
(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.
When we leave their congregations, we are to endure their coming persecutions and tribulations with patience and faith so that we may be counted worthy of the kingdom/government of God for which we also suffer.
2Th 1:4-10 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;
(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;
We shall obtain His glory….but they will be punished 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.
When we shall see the “abomination of desolation” standing in the holy place….in our gatherings together in His name, we are to “flee into the mountains” of His righteousness. The handwriting of ordinances/dogmas....their "graven images".... is that “abomination” that has caused the glory of God to leave/desolate the holy place. He is no longer there in their presence.
Mat 24:15-16 KJV
(15) When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand)
(16) Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains
Those who are in "Judaea".....the land of Judas....are to flee for they are currently living in the "field of blood" where the life of Jesus is being prevented from being made manifest in the mortal flesh of those who are being deceived by those who are following in the footsteps of Judas. "Aceldama" from the words "chêleq"- "smoothness (of the tongue)" and "dam" - "blood (as that which when shed causes death) of man or an animal". Judas and those who are following in his footsteps use the "kiss" of flattering lips to take the life of Jesus from ever being made manifest in the outer mortal flesh of those they are deceiving. No man is "dwelling" there as all are perishing in this great deception of Satan and his ministers.
Act 1:17-20 KJV
(17) For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry.
(18) Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.
(19) And it was known unto all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch as that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, The field of blood.
(20) For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his bishoprick let another take.
The glory of God has gone out and departed from their gatherings because of their images. They have exchanged His glory into an image (a handwriting of ordinances) made like the outside world’s documents (their constitutions, by-laws, statutes, etc).
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.
Jesus also “went out and departed” from the temple and then sat upon the mount of Olives where we shall be taught by Him and have peace and obtain His glory.
We must also depart from them and go to Him as His disciples….as His learners. We must flee to the mountains and be separate from them.
This is symbolic and not literal.
Mat 24:1-3 KJV
(1) And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.
(2) And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
(3) And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
The glory of the LORD stood upon the mountain (Mount of Olives). Which is on the east side of the city. His glory was no longer in the temple but had left because of their abominations. We must also leave the gatherings of earthly-minded men and go to the Father to obtain His glory “upon the mountain”.
Eze 11:23 KJV
(23) And the glory of the LORD went up from the midst of the city, and stood upon the mountain which is on the east side of the city.
He calls us by the good news to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ (on the Mount of Olives so-to-speak). His glory will not be had in staying put in the churches of men where they are bowing down to their "graven images"....the handwritings of the church scribes.
2Th 2:13-14 KJV
(13) But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
(14) Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
We must not linger around like Lot did in Sodom. We must depart from them. Pray that your flight be not in the “winter” when the love of your fellow churchgoers has grown cold towards you because you have received the truth of God. They will hate and persecute you. "Great tribulation" awaits those who will delay their departure.
Mat 24:20-21 KJV
(20) But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
(21) For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
Act 1:12 KJV
(12) Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day's journey.
We must not linger around in the handwritten, man-based churches when we become aware of the
abomination of desolation that is there but “escape to the mountain” lest we be consumed in the iniquity of the city as they will persecute us….and that persecution will increase the longer we stay. We must not linger around or we will give in and return evil for their evil which will destroy us along with them.
Gen 19:15-17 KJV
(15) And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city.
(16) And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the LORD being merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city.
(17) And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.
God will not destroy the righteous with the wicked.
We must depart as they will vex us “day to day” with their unlawful deeds against us for believing and receiving the truth of the Word of God. We shall not have peace in their midst. We must go out from among them and be separate where we shall have the peace that the Lord gives us in the “mount of Olives” where His glory stands.
2Pe 2:7-8 KJV
(7) And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:
(8) (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds)
Let us go forth from them unto Him “outside the camp” while bearing His reproach….keeping His “daily” sacrifice….dying to sin by not returning evil for their evil.
Heb 13:11-14 KJV
(11) For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp.
(12) Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate.
(13) Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach.
(14) For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come.
We are to come out from among them and gather together unto Him in one mind and one body
2Th 2:1-7 KJV
(1) Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
(2) That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
(3) Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
(4) Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
(5) Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
God will not destroy the righteous with the wicked as demonstrated by righteous “Lot”….which means “veil or covering”…as they will be “taken out of the way”. Those who will continue to linger around in their churches will be mercifully be removed from them. The removing of the righteous (“Lot”…the “veil”)….reveals the wicked they leave behind which then can be punished in the judgment of God.
(6) And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
(7) For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
The same day that Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from Heaven and destroyed them all.
The same thing is going to happen….but let us not be troubled as God will remove those who will believe in the revealed Truth but will continue to linger around their churches. He will not destroy the righteous with the wicked as He will deliver them as He did with Lot.
Luk 17:28-33 KJV
(28) Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
(29) But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
(30) Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
Let us not take anything of theirs with us. Let us leave all of their works and handwritings of commandments and teachings behind us. Let us not honor them by looking back with favor and love for what we leave behind. Let us call it as "dung" in order to gain Christ and His knowledge.
(31) In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.
(32) Remember Lot's wife.
(33) Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.
