Peace in Christ.
A “great multitude” are still following in the footsteps of Judas as they come to take away the keeping of the daily sacrifice of the Lamb out of the lives of those that they are flattering with the salute of the “kiss” of the flattering lips. Judas IS their "guide" now to take Jesus out of the lives of the people they are deceiving....the "flock of the slaughter" that they are "feeding."
Act 1:16-19 KJV
(16) Men and brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus.
The manifest life of Jesus (the Son of man) is not appearing in the mortal flesh of those that they are deceiving. The Son of man goes away as it is written of Him. They take Him …His life…away from being made manifest in this earth
Mar 14:21 KJV
(21) The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had never been born.
He IS being cut off out of the land (earth) of the living. This is happening now by the enemies of the cross of Christ.
Isa 53:8 KJV
(8) He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
Those who are following in the footsteps of Judas have purchased a field with the reward of the iniquity.
This “field” is the people that they are deceiving. It has been a “field of blood” for no mortal flesh is being saved under their “care”. They are pastoring the “flock of the slaughter”….all for money’s sake.
Acts 1:18
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.
They “fall headlong” after reward. That is all they can think about as they are only serving for their earthly necessities. They fall headlong after these things.
They “burst asunder in the middle”….that is, they REJOICE (burst asunder) in their hearts (in the middle). They nourish their hearts in the day of the slaughter of their flocks…of their congregations that they are “pastoring”. "Hurt not the oil and the wine"....their rejoicing...as the people that they are pastoring are enduring a great famine of hearing the Word of God....the gospel of truth. Revelation 6:6 .
Their “bowels gush out”….that is, they have no pity for those they are deceiving as all of their mercy has gushed out of their hearts. There is no mercy in them…no compassion for the sheep that they are tending.
The field is called “Aceldama.”
Breaking down the word “Aceldama”: chêleq + dâm
cheleq - From H2505; properly smoothness (of the tongue); also an allotment: - flattery, inheritance, part, X partake, portion.
dâm - From H1826 (compare H119); blood (as that which when shed causes death) of man or an animal; by analogy the juice of the grape; figuratively (especially in the plural) bloodshed (that is, drops of blood): - blood (-y, -guiltiness, [-thirsty]), + innocent.
(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.
They “slay” those they are deceiving with the “smoothness”/flattery of the tongue. It has been a “field of blood” for no mortal flesh is being saved as a result. The life of Jesus is not being made manifest in the mortal flesh of their congregations (the “field” they have purchased) that they are deceiving.
They are “feeding” the flock of the slaughter. They “burst asunder in the middle”….that is, they are REJOICING in this situation: “Blessed be the LORD; for I am rich.”
Their own pastors/shepherds pity them not….that is, “their bowels gush out” as their mercy has left and is no longer in them.
Zec 11:4-5 KJV
(4) Thus saith the LORD my God; Feed the flock of the slaughter;
(5) Whose possessors slay them, and hold themselves not guilty: and they that sell them say, Blessed be the LORD; for I am rich: and their own shepherds pity them not.
They have “nourished their hearts”...REJOICING... in this “day of slaughter” as they “feed” the flock of the slaughter. They have lived in pleasure on the earth as they rejoice in their hearts that they are getting their earthly needs met from the flock of the slaughter that they are pastoring.
Jas 5:5-6 KJV
(5) Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.
They condemn and kill the Just One as they are preventing the life of Jesus from being made manifest in those they are deceiving.
(6) Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you.
They are not preaching the gospel of truth to those that they are deceiving. The hire of their laborers (their congregations) is being kept back by fraud. The drum beat of their hearts that are rejoicing have drowned out the “cries” of those that they are supposedly pastoring.
Jas 5:1-4 KJV
(1) Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.
(2) Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.
(3) Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.
(4) Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.
The children of “Judah”….that is, those who are following their "guide" JUDAS…have set their abominations (their church handwritings of ordinances/dogmas) in the house which is call by His name , to pollute it. Their handwritings of church ordinances/dogmas (statements of faith, church constitutions, by-laws, statutes, creeds, etc. etc etc) is the abomination of desolation (desolating His house of His glory).
Jer 7:30-31 KJV
(30) For the children of Judah have done evil in my sight, saith the LORD: they have set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to pollute it.
They have built the high places of “Tophet”…the drum. They have rejoiced in this and the drum beat of their hearts drown out the cries of those they are “pastoring” so that cannot hear them.
Tophet (drum) is in the valley of the son of Hinnom (valley of wailing" or "valley of lamentation"). It is a place of “fire” for the flock of the slaughter is perishing under the wrath of God….His fire.
(31) And they have built the high places of Tophet, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my heart.
Their works….their keeping and serving of their church handwritings (the “abomination”) …burns them up in the “fire” of His wrath for our God is a consuming fire. They pass down their handwritings to their "children" for them to keep and serve. The sins of the church fathers are passed down to future generations which also burn up in the fire of His wrath for keeping and serving their handwritings....the abomination.
1Co 3:15-17 KJV
(15) If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
(16) Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
(17) If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
