Peace in Christ.

Again, the abomination of desolation is the church handwriting of ordinances/dogmas.

It should not be found standing/established in the holy place….in the place of our worship of God.

Even “just” a “statement of faith” is by definition a handwriting of dogmas….what one believes is true.

It is a white-washed document that has “Lord, Lord” written all over it….but God did not command it nor did He speak it. It is a work of man’s hand from his own imagination. It should not be found in any of our gatherings of the worship of God at all.

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:

We are not to “rear up a standing image” in our places of worship. These church documents are established and are passed down from generation to generation for them to also keep and serve. The sins of the church fathers (their handwritings) are passed down to their children...to their future generations. They are a “standing image”….never moving from their places in the churches of men.

We are to have reverence for His sanctuary.

Lev 26:
(1) Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the LORD your God.

(2) Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the LORD.

Remember how Daniel could “read and understand” the handwriting on the wall.

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 demonstration in Daniel 5 was used as a meme of man’s decreed/numbered handwritings to point out what the abomination of desolation is- man’s handwritings. It is against the “candlestick”…the light of the knowledge of the glory of God...found upon the wall of the King's palace...that is, temple. .

Dan 5:5 KJV
(5) In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaister of the wall of the king's palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote.

We must understand what the abomination is (when you shall “see” it) and flee from it. We must depart from the man-based (based on their handwritings) churches.

We must leave it all behind….not returning to take anything out from them…their commandments…their works…etc. Don’t look back.

Mat 24:17-21 KJV
(17) Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:

(18) Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.

Not everyone in the man-based churches will hear and believe in the Word of Truth. Woe unto them that are with “child”…that is, sin.

They will be tempted to speak evil against the Word of Truth and anyone who will believe in and confess it.

This lust to speak evil is then “conceived” in the unbelievers when hearing the Word of Truth and it brings forth sin (evil speaking)…and sin when it is finished brings for death. Sin is nourished until is full grown. James 1:14-16 .

(19) And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!

Let us not “linger” around in the man-based churches like Lot did in Sodom. The sooner we leave the better.

Pray that your “flight” out of the man-based churches be not in the “winter”….when the love of your church “family” grows cold against you because you believe in the Word of Truth and stayed too long in them. We must leave as soon as possible. The winter is the last season of the year....the sabbath day is the last day of the week. Don't stay that long....to the end.

(20) But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:

The longer you “linger” in them, the greater the tribulation/pressure against you. It will become “winter” in the man-based churches towards those who will “linger” around them like Lot did in Sodom.

(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.

You will experience greater and greater persecution because you will have confessed Him before them and yet will continue to “linger” around with them.

Like Lot, the overstayers souls will be “vexed” with the filthy behavior of the wicked against them while they are still lingering there in their churches. You will be entering in to "manifold temptations" to return evil for their evil that you will receive from them by staying too long.

2Pe 2: 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)

All who will live godly in Jesus Christ will suffer persecution by those they leave behind in the unbelieving man-based churches. Consider it the trial of our faith in Christ who speaks the Word of Truth. Consider it the chastening by the Lord. Hebrews 12:6-7 .

It will be only for a season….and IF NEED BE, some of us who “linger” around in their churches will experience MANY temptations to return evil for their evil. It becomes necessary (IF NEED BE) for those who stay too long in the man-based churches.

1Pe 1:6-7 KJV
(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:

The unbelievers will not understand…being struck with spiritual blindness. The wicked shall not understand. They will believe the lie that they will be doing God “service” for judging you as an “evildoer”….and will cast you out of their gatherings labeling you as a “devil.” Matthew 7:22 .

They will persecute you with their words….wearying themselves to find the door…that is, they will weary themselves to get you to open your mouth to speak evil back at them. But we must “shut the door” of our mouths towards their speaking evil of us. We must keep the daily sacrifice of our Lord by dying to the sin of returning evil for their evil. We must be faithful unto the death…His death on the cross.

Gen 19:9-14 KJV
(9) And they said, Stand back. And they said again, This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and came near to break the door.
(10) But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door.

(11)
And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door.

We must get out of their place....and take anyone with us who will believe. Not every one will believe us as they will seem to them that we are "mocking".

(12) And the men said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? son in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring them out of this place:
(13) For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the LORD; and the LORD hath sent us to destroy it.

(14) And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, which married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place; for the LORD will destroy this city. But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law.

The Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations….the temptations to return evil for their evil. The unjust will be struck with spiritual blindness. The wicked shall not understand.

2Pe 2: KJV (9) The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:

The Lord is merciful. He knows how to deliver the godly out of the temptations.

Gen 19:16-17 KJV
(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.

They shall put you of their “synagogues”…that is, gatherings….because God in His mercy shall deliver the godly (who will “linger”) out of the manifold temptations (to speak evil for their evil) by having them remove you from their “churches.”

They will think that they will be doing God “service” by “killing” you….that is, judging you as an evildoer…as a devil. Any one who will not worship their "image" shall be killed...shall be judged as "evildoers"...as "devils".

Joh 16:1-4 KJV
(1) These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended.
(2) They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.

(3) And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.

Remember….

(4) But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you.

Remember…

2Th 2:5-7 KJV
(5) Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?

(6) And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.

Our God is merciful and will take the godly who will “linger” like Lot did out of the way (out of the man-based churches). He who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.

(7) For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.

God knows how to deliver the godly as they will themselves separate you from their company….and that is a good thing. They will cast out your name as evil and shall reproach you for the Son of man’s sake.

Luk 6:22-23 KJV
(22) Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake.

(23) Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.

We must leave it all behind ASAP for His sake and the gospel of truth. We shall receive “persecutions” for doing so….but we shall gain all that we leave behind.

Mar 10:28-30 KJV
(28) Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee.
(29) And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's,

(30) But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.

When we leave must not look back towards the man-based churches. Remember Lot’s wife. We must forsake it all.

Luk 14:33 KJV
(33) So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.

We must go to Him…forsaking all of our church “family” who will not believe in the Word of Truth when they hear it….leaving them behind and never looking back. Anybody that loves their church family more than Him is not worthy.

Luk 14:25-27 KJV
(25) And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said unto them,

(26) If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

They will persecute us….but we must keep His daily sacrifice…bearing His cross…not returning evil for their evil.

(27) And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.

We must follow Him out of the man-based churches and not look back.

Luk 9:59-62 KJV
(59) And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.
(60) Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.
(61) And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.

(62) And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
