Amen Zeed. Emile and Alan are exactly what they accuse others ob being; that is part of the Anti-Christ. Watch them howl at this bible lesson.
Christiandom has been and is looking for the anti-Christ to come. But... they can't and won't see him... because the mystery is, "they are the spirit of the anti-Christ!" They are the Son of perdition, the beast. This is the mystery of God... and it is fulfilled and finished. Concerning preaching as it is done today, Paul said it was foolishness (lst. Corinthians 1:21), but, it would help save them that believe. Notice, in the same verse he said it was because the world knew not God or His wisdom. That is why Paul said in Hebrews 6:1-6, to leave these principles of the doctrine and go on unto perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and faith toward God, of the doctrine of baptisms and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment, but to go on - or evolve into perfection.
Why did Paul say this? Because of what it said in Hebrews 8: 8-13. When God said He would make a New Covenant after those days (this New covenant is now! not two thousand years ago), "I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: And they shall not teach every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, know the Lord: For all shall know me, from the least to the greatest."
Well........ look at Christiandom! This is the only thing they do teach, just the opposite of what the Word said not to do. This is all they have taught from the beginning of the church world, they do not know how to go unto perfection. This is why they are drunk and mad, this is why they are confused in their own counsels, and it has now come to pass just as He said it would, they are eating the flesh (doctrine) of their sons and daughters, just as a dog that returneth to his vomit. This is a phenomenal mystery they cannot grasp. They are all blind guides. Not only does their preaching draw the hypocrite, but, the true seeker also. The hypocrite goes on in the way he wants to, caring less if he hears the truth or not, the true seeker is immediately engulfed and diverted from the truth, or, a sheep slain by their Sword. Thus he becomes a believer in whatever doctrine he has fallen into and ceases from his first and only true search; for at this point he is dependent on man for his spiritual instruction, and inadvertently becomes a spiritual whore-monger (going from one church or doctrine - "the woman" - to the other, thus falling into the pit; just as Jesus said In Psalms, chapter 58, especially verse 3, note: "The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born (of water, i.e. confusion), speaking lies (the letter of the law, the stories)."
Notice what Jesus said in St. John 5:39. "Search the scriptures; for "in them" you think you have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me." Vs. 40 "And ye will not come to Me (Spiritual understanding, wisdom-knowledge). that ye might have life." Jesus is the Power and Wisdom of the Word. See Prov.8. Even the ones that are supposed to be witnesses for, and testifying of Jesus, think - they have eternal life, -- Why? Because they don't "study" the scriptures spiritually, they depend on men to do it for them. See, 2nd. Timothy 2:15. Proverbs 18:1, 2. Psalms, chapter one. Titus 1:10, 11. Doesn't this fit Christiandom? They want to hire someone to do their work for them so they can go and steal the words without working for them. They climb up as a thief, and as a robber, they steal ideas, they are a lazy and backward people. Jeremiah 23:30; "Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith the Lord, that steal my words everyone from his neighbor." Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant, but he knoweth not that the (spiritually) dead are there; and her guest are in the depths of hell (or, confusion and torment)." Proverbs 9:17.18.
Jesus knew about Babylon; Jesus knew about the spiritual darkness that would befall the religions when the abomination that maketh desolate was set up, that is why He said in St. John 9:4; "I must work the works of him that sent me while it is day: The night cometh when no man can work (the last two thousand years)." And this happened at the end of the apostolic age; night, desolation and darkness fell upon the face of the earth -- those that teach the scriptures literally. See Revelation 3:3. 16:15. Look at Ist. Thessalonians 5: 2; "For yourselves know perfectly that The Day Of The Lord so cometh as a thief in the night." This is the "era" that truth has come, but they can't see it.
When there is spiritual darkness, desolation -- night ; He will come as a thief, He will come and not be recognized; except to those looking for Him. He will come as the truth; He will come as the light ... This is the time of complete darkness, This is the night the Lord God omnipotent reigneth ..., Jesus is here now, in a spiritual cloud, now is He calling and gathering Judah, the shepherds and leaders of Israel (the Church; not the Hebrew people). Jesus is here as a thief; He is gathering his people. He is gathering, and no one knows it.... He is preparing for the battle!
Now, will Satan (the non-spiritual) make his powerful stand against the Lamb (Spiritual-minded). Now, is the time that Great Babylon comes in remembrance of God. Now, is the time that "Great Queen" shall be a widow and see sorrow. Now, is the time to shake the earth to and fro. Now, is the time of the great earthquake -- spiritual winnowing. Now, is the time to seek the Lord in spirit and in truth. Now, is the day of judgment reached its zenith. Now, is the day of atonement and weeping. Now, is the time of Revelation 18:4; Come Out Of Her My People.
Now, is the time of the ten virgins. Now, is the time of the harvest. Now, is the time of Joel 3:13 4. Now, is the time of Daniel 2:44. Now, is the time of Psalms 107:35, 36. Now, is the time of Psalms 137. Now, is the time of Isaiah 14:4-7. Now, is the time of Isaiah, chapter 26, and 35:3-10. Now, is the time Satan has been loosed for a Short time. Now, is the time to be a Separate and Peculiar people. Now, is the time of the gathering of the tares. Now, is the time of the gathering of His jewels. Now, is Babylon fallen.
Now, is the time to destroy Babylon. Now, is the time of the Lord's vengeance. Now, is the time of Revelation 16:12-16. Now, is the Goodman come from His long journey. Now, is the time for the hundred and forty-four thousand, which represents those who are spiritual, to teach the Everlasting Gospel. Now, is the Bridegroom en-route for His bride.
Now, is the time to trim your lamps for the battle. Now, is the time of spiritual perplexity and chaos. Now, is the time the true and diligent seeker of truth will comfort himself with this parable: "The Holy Spirit is my teacher; I shall not want." He maketh me to rest and eat the food of His pastures: He leads me with the pleasantness of His truth. He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name sake. Yea, though I'm found in the midst of Babylon, I will fear no evil: For thou art with me; Thy word and Thy Christ they comfort me. Thou preparest wisdom and understanding for me in the presence of the desolate, mine enemies: Thou anointest my soul with Thy understanding; I cannot contain all Thy mercies; they suffice me abundantly. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of righteousness forever.
Give penance and take heed to the laws, those who have chosen knowledge and it's Son, the Life of the Word; that great and dark day is almost light; get oil for your lamps now, for truth will not tarry. It says: "Behold, I come quickly, and My reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be (reaping what we have sown - Karma)." The writings of this compilation are chiefly directed to the secular few that know the voice of the righteous and avoid the prevarication that exists in Christiandom. As for me, I cannot join you at this time, by the time you read this, but we will meet a short time following. |
