Thessalonians part 36

In Chapter 12 of Jeremiah beginning at verse 6, 7-13, 14-17: “For even your brethren, and the house of your father, even they have dealt treacherously with you; yes, they have called a multitude after you: believe them not, though they speak fair words to you.

I have forsaken My house, I have left My heritage; I have given the dearly beloved of My soul into the hand of her enemies. My heritage is to Me as a lion in the forest; it cries out against Me: therefore have I hated it. My heritage is to Me a speckled bird, the birds round about are against her; come, assemble all the beasts of the field, come to devour. Many pastors have destroyed My vineyard, they have trodden My portion under foot, they have made My pleasant portion a desolate wilderness. They have made it desolate, desolate, it mourns before Me; the whole land is made desolate, because no man lays it to heart. The spoilers are come upon all high places through the wilderness: for the sword of the LORD shall devour from one end of the land even to the other end of the land: no flesh shall have peace. They have sown wheat, but shall reap thorns: they have put themselves to pain, but shall not profit: and they shall be ashamed of your revenues because of the fierce anger of the LORD.

Thus says the LORD against all My evil neighbours, that touch the inheritance which I have caused My people Israel to inherit; Behold, I will pluck them out of their land, and pluck out the house of Judah from among them. And it shall come to pass, after that I have plucked them out I will return, and have compassion on them, and will bring them again, every man to his heritage, and every man to his land. And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently learn the ways of My people, to swear by My name, The LORD lives; as they taught My people to swear by Baal; then shall they be built in the midst of My people. But if they will not obey, I will utterly pluck up and destroy that nation, says the LORD.”


In Chapter 14 beginning at verse 10-12, 13-18, with emphasis is on 13 and 14; “Thus says the LORD to this people, Thus have they loved to wander, you have not refrained their feet, therefore the LORD does not accept you; I will now remember your iniquity, and visit their sins. Then said the LORD to me, Pray not for this people for their good. When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer burnt offering and an oblation, I will not accept them: but I will consume them by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence.

Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, the prophets say to them, you shall not see the sword, neither shall you have famine; but I will give you assured peace in this place. Then the LORD said to me, The prophets prophesy lies in My name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spoke I to them: they prophesy to you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their own heart. Therefore said the LORD concerning the prophets that prophesy in My name, and I sent them not, yet they say, Sword and famine shall not be in this land; By sword and famine shall those prophets be consumed. And the people to whom they prophesy shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword; and they shall have none to bury them, them, their wives, nor their sons, nor their daughters: for I will pour their wickedness upon them. Therefore you shall say this word to them; Let my eyes run down with tears night and day, and let them not cease: for the virgin daughter of My people are broken with a great breach, with a very grievous blow. If I go forth into the field, then behold the slain with the sword! and if I enter into the city, then behold them that are sick with famine! yes, both the prophet and the priest go about into a land that they know not.”


And next chapter 17 beginning at verses 1-4, 5-8, 9-11, 12-18: “The sin of Judah are written with a pen of iron, and with the point of a diamond: it is graven upon the table of their heart, and upon the horns of your altars; While their children remember their altars and their groves by the green trees upon the high hills. My mountain is in the field, I will give your substance and all your treasures to the spoiler, and your high places for sin, throughout all your borders. And you, even yourselves, shall discontinue from your heritage that I gave to you; and I will cause you to serve your enemies in the land which you know not: for you have kindled a fire in My anger, which shall burn forever.

Thus said the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusts in man, and makes flesh his arm, and whose heart departs from the LORD. For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good comes; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited. But blessed is the man that trusts in the LORD, and whose hope is the LORD. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, that spreads out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat comes, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.

The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? I the LORD search the heart, I try its reins, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings. As the partridge sits on eggs, and hatchs them not; so is he that gets riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a fool.

A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary. O LORD, the hope of Israel, all that forsake You shall be ashamed, they that depart from You shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living waters. Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for You are my praise. Behold, they say to Me, Where is the word of the LORD? let it come now. As for Me, I have not hastened from being a pastor to follow you: neither have I desired the woeful day; You know: that which came out of My lips was right before you. Be not a terror to me: You are my hope in the day of evil. Let them be confounded that persecute Me, but let not me be confounded: let them be dismayed, but let not me be dismayed: bring upon them the day of evil, and destroy them with double destruction.”


I have with purpose not edited these passages by interjecting a tought of my own but rather am letting them speak for themselves as they are meant to. Within them are revealed the selfishness and greediness of mans corrupted heart from which springs all evil.

Thessalonians part 35

Before I get into the subject on false prophets and because of the world situation that we are faceing both within the U.S. and Asia with acts of aggression against the fiber of God's relationship within those who are in His position once again. Be it in Redemption or His Salvation. I must peak out in this mannor, those in oppossion though they be few in number scream the loudest because of inward bitterness of soul and because of a feeling of abandonment. Both of these emotions are the work and tools of Satan in mans own religion. For when we step back and look at what is actually taking place we will see the man of perdition being revealed, like no other time in human history. Those who have become Satan's tools have taken a luke warm attitude of liberality and have acted accordingly by allowing thugs and hoodlums and murders to rule and run wide both in the streets of America and then the aera of Asia, where this action has cost innocent peoples loose of property and life. In a mixture of mans liberal religion, and liberal political systems with mans limited understanding of the Law of Moses. Through which those of an infidel attitude rise above the true knowledge of GOD to become gods of their own making. This is all part of the breakdown of family, even within those of Islam where the Law of mans unredeemed state rules, unbridaled and unchecked by those of a somewhat diffent character then the few. When man acts in this fashion God often lifts His hand from them and allows them to run their choosen course. Having the bully mentality. This course often ends in self distruction from within them. The ancient world of Rome is a good illustration of this.


Looking at false pastors, Isaiah is the first referenced so here goes Isaiah 56, this is a hard chapter to decipher into paragraph form. So I'll begin at verse 9 through 12 because it reveals God's discontentment with those wayward priests or pastors: “All of you are beasts of the field, and have come to devor, all you beasts in the forest. His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber. Yes, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter. Come they say, I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and to morrow shall be as this day, much more abundant.” (paraphrased by me)

 
To this hear what Jeremiah has to say first in chapters 6 and 7 where our foundation is laid and then on to chapters 12 and 14. Beginning at verse 9 through 15 of chapter 6 of Jeremiah and then 8 through verse 24 of chapter 7; “Thus says the LORD of hosts, They shall throughly glean the remnant of Israel as a vine: turn back your hand as a grapegatherer into the baskets. To whom shall I speak, and give warning, that they may hear? behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and they cannot hear: behold, the word of the LORD is to them a reproach; they have no delight in it. Therefore I am full of the fury of the LORD (this is a statement spoken by Jeremiah); I am weary with holding on: I will pour it out upon the children abroad, and upon the assembly of young men together: for even the husband with the wife shall be taken, the aged with him that is full of days. And their houses shall be turned to others, with their fields and wives together: for I will stretch out My hand upon the inhabitants of the land, says the LORD. For from the least of them even to the greatest of them every one is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even to the priest every one deals falsely. They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of My people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace. Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they shall fall among them that fall: at the time I visit them they shall be cast down, said the LORD.”


From here we'll go to chapter 7 verses 8-11, 12-15, 16-21, 22-24 where we find the following statement: “Behold, you trust in lying words, that cannot profit. Will you steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense to Baal, and walk after other gods whom you know not; And come and stand before Me in this house, which is called by My name, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations? Is this house, which is called by My name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, even I have seen it, says the LORD.

But go now to My place which was in Shiloh, where I set My name at the first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of My people Israel. And now, because you have done all these works, says the LORD, and I spoke to you, rising up early and speaking, but you heard not; and I called you, but you answered not; Therefore will I do to this house, which is called by My name, wherein you trust, and to the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh. And I will cast you out of My sight, as I have cast out all your brethren, the whole seed of Ephraim.

Therefore pray not for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to Me: for I will not hear you. See you not what they did in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem? The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings to other gods, that they may provoke Me to anger. Do they provoke Me to anger? says the LORD: do they not provoke themselves to the confusion of their own faces? Therefore thus says the Lord GOD; Behold, My anger and My fury shall be poured out upon this place, upon man, and upon beast, and upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruit of the ground; and it shall burn, and shall not be quenched.

Thus says the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel; Put your burnt offerings to your sacrifices, and eat flesh. For I spoke not to your fathers, nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices: But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey My voice, and I will be your God, and you shall be My people: and walk in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well for you. But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels, in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward.”

Thessalonians part 34

The writer of Hebrews in addressing the Hebrew believers who have escaped from their heritage and left it behind them, is actively in the process of warning them not to turn their backs on the LORD by returning to their former life in dead traditions of religious form. Jumping in at Hebrews 10:37, this is from Habakuk 2:3-4, which states this; “For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.” We find this statement in Hebrews 10:37[36-39], again; “For you have need of patience, that, after you having done the Will of God (in the denying of their formed life style of an outwordly form, to turning to Him), you might receive the promise. For yet a little while, and He that shall come will come, and will not tarry. Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. But we are not of them who draw back into perdition; but are of them that believe to the saving of the soul.” (edited somewhat by me) In 1Thessalonians 3 Paul tells of the report he received from Timothy and the joy that overflowed him of the good report and the steadfastness of their resolve to stay with Christ. We covered that early on so will not repeat here, moving on.


Picking up on 1John 5, where John is explaining the over coming of the world by being born of Christ onto God and thereby we have over come this world. And heading toward verses 10-12 in verse 5 we find this; “Who is he that overcomes the world, but he that believes that Jesus is the Son of God? This is he that came by water and blood, Jesus Christ (speaking of His being birthed through the office of the virgin birth and the opening of her womb as the first born son of promise, Hidden in Genesis 3:15); not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that bears witness, because the Spirit is Truth. For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are One (in the Elohim of Genesis 1:1-2 and John 1:1-2). And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood (this being the release from the Lord's opened side at His death on the tree, Jesus being the Will, the Word and the Law): and these three agree in One. If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which He has testified of His Son. He that believes the Son of God has the witness in himself: he that believes not God has made Him a liar; because he believes not the record that God gave of His Son. And this is the record, that God has given to us Eternal Life, and this Life is in His Son. He that has the Son has Life; he that has not the Son of God has not life.” Here we have the True vision that we are to tarry for, while we sit under God listening. Here is another witness from Acts 15; Act 15:14-18, where Paul is speaking “Simeon (Peter) has declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for His name. And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written, 'After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up: That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom My name is called,' says the Lord, 'Who does all these things.' Known by God are all His works from the beginning of the world (this is from Amos 9:11-12).”

 

I have covered the following within the context of our chosen passages; the discription of the lawless, those opposing Christ, the use of lying wonders, the deceiving world, the persecution of believers [Revelation 13:7], Satan inspired, denying Christ's incarnation, one of many, the person and his system, the seeking of man's worship, his coming foretold, in the last of days, the removal of the hinderance, Satan's deception, as counterfeiter and Christ's return, and Satan's destruction. These are the characteristics of those who deny Christ and His activities within those who are inwardly sealed to Him.

 

Next I'll look at false pastors, teachers, lying words, falsechrists [Jesus warns of their coming, and of their works], false confidence [the characteristic of self-righteousness, sensuality, worldly security], causes of trusting in [the riches of men, oneself, worldly successes, man, ignoring of God's providence], warnings against [in curse upon man for, glory not in man, mans limitation, mans might will fail him, vain boasting of man], the turning of Truth into a lie [manifeast by false: witness, balances, tongues, report, science], false professions: pretending to be, harmless, innocent, divine, sincere, true prophets], destruction of: at Christ's coming, in hells eternal fires....instances of, seen in Babel's men, Sennacherib, Asa, Hezekiah and Peter.

Thessalonians part 33

Before I progress, what requires greater trust onto faith, our believing what a mere man says as truth or our taking in of God's written word inclusively? In other words what pleases God? But is it left to the printed word or a more correct word heard from deep within us that is spoken of? Jesus stated that man does not live by bread alone but does live by every word spoken by GOD! Has GOD ever stopped speaking of His revelation? NO! Because Revelation states that those with Him in heaven cry out with praise each time they hear Him reveal more of His greatness in Revelation of Himself. The angels all cry HOLY! HOLY! HOLY! In Revelation 4. When we have received His Salvation is when we to hear GOD's voice in the revelation of Christ and GOD reentry within us and it is from this standpoint that we to will hear what has been revealed to Paul. Paul before he reveals the contempt God has for the immoral and ammoral man states this in verse 17 of Romans 1, “For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just (righteous, observing divine laws further shown as, used of him whose way of thinking, feeling, and acting is wholly conformed to the will of God, those approved of or acceptable of God) shall live by faith (an inward certainty, belief respecting man’s relationship to God and divine things, generally with the included idea of trust and holy fervour born of faith and our being conjoined to God through Christ).” (in Habakuk 2:4, Galatians 2:16, there is a stern warning concerning faith in Galatians 3:11-12 and Hebrews 10:37 and then 1John 5:10-12 with emphasis on verse 5) Jesus is identified as being the Word of God, housed within mans flesh. And Jesus as the son of man lived out His life of hearing the word of God within Him and did both speak and do all that this voice revealed to Him. Then it is recorded that He asked this question, “Who do men say that I am?” Peter by insperation said, “You are the Son of GOD!” God's revelation to mankind!


Here is another revelation what is man made from? Dirt! So if a kingdom has to have landmass to be a kingdom then just what is this landmass made of? Dirt! In Genesis 1 we find man as a spirit being not yet in dirt in verses 26-27, when he joins God in His rest which is the beginning of chapter 2:1-3. Then still in chapter 2 we find God forming of clay a body or house within which He breathed the breath of life in verses 6-7 and later we hear that life is in the blood first in Genesis 6:17 and then again in Leviticus 17:11. What did it require for God to mold and form or shape the figure of Himself? Water, as it moistened the earth or dirt from which man was made. Man from that every moment was God's kingdom, a kingdom within which He dwelt as the Spirit conjoined to mans spirit within man.


First looking at Habakuk 2:4 we find this statement; “Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.”

From here Galatians 2:16, [15-21] where Paul is rehearsing his encounter with the disciples in Jerusalem (as recorded in Acts 13) he states this; “We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles, knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid. For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor. For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live to God. I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, Who loved me, and gave Himself for me. I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.”

Thessalonians part 32

In 2John 7-11 “For many deceivers are entered the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh (this has a double meaning and many do not acknowledge the first let alone the second, because these things all remain and secret or mystery to them). This is a deceiver and an antichrist. Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. Whoever transgresses, and abides not in the doctrine of Christ, have not God. He that abides in the doctrine of Christ, he has both the Father and the Son. If there come anyone to you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into (your) house, neither bid him God speed: For he that biddes him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.”

I am deeply saddened to say that our churches are not as they seem because of the false teaching which pushes us toward another gospel of the future glories in His presense and of riches and well being today. Because the word “nigh” as used in the synoptic gospels equates to our word “near,” at hand, within sight and is available for our receiving NOW. Jesus said to ask! Ask, without doubt and questioning as in the rebellion (Genesis 3:1-7a). But sadly many just "ask" without expectancy, as little child always ask with great expectancy and are not often let down but usually receives all and more then asked for, because they ask with trust. But the false gospel does not build upon this fact, it moves all in another direction away from God's Truth in Christ, which is Christ in you, or the reentry of GOD within us.

 

Did Jesus ever speak of “antichrist” ? No, but He did however speak of “false christs” as seen in Matthew 24:24, where Jesus is speaking of the perilous times to come and this is repeated in Mark 13:22 where He is speaking of things to come to this wise. Beginnin at verse 15 of Matthew 24, through 28, with emphasis on verse 24, and verses 29-31 is where we find this; “When you therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel (in 9:27, 12:11) the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoever reads, let him understand:) Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains (this day has taken place as spoken of by Daniel in 9:27, 11:31-35, 12:11-13 these all speak of the “hitherto,” this took place in 68-70AD): Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes. And woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! But pray that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the Sabbath day: For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. Then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Behold, I have told you before. Wherefore if they shall say to you, Behold, He is in the desert; go not forth: behold, He is in the secret chambers; believe it not. For as the lightning comes out of the east, and shines even to the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For wherever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.

Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And He shall send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.” 

Thessalonians part 31

From here on John states that these people all know the Truth and that those who deny that Jesus has come in the (their) flesh have not the Father nor the Son (seen in John 17's prayer) in them and that they are the antichrists. He then sates that we are to be steadfast to Him Who is faithful so that He will remain within for this is Eternal Life as promised. In verses 21 through 25.

1John 2:21-25, 26-27, 28-29 “I have not written to you because you know not the truth, but because you know it, and that no lie is of the truth. Who is a liar but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denies the Father and the Son. Whoever denies the Son, the same has not the Father: (but) he that acknowledges the Son has the Father also. Let that therefore abide in you, which you have heard from the beginning. If that which you have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, you also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father. For this is the promise that He has promised us, eternal life.

These things have I written to you concerning them that seduce you. For the anointing which you have received of Him abides in you, and you need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teachs you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as He has taught you, you shall abide in (with) Him. (Jeremiah 31:33-34, Revelation 21:3, 7)

Now, little children, abide in Him; that, when He shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before Him at His coming. If you know that He is righteous, you know that every one that does righteousness is born of Him.”

 

This by far some of the strongest language used within the new kingdom Gospel and it is also the least understood because of the spirit of err that is retained within most people. Now here is a little tip in most cases the strongman is a political spirit also held within us and is manifested in those who are in Politics these days. This strongman is active within most churches are people want to be in leadership and are therefore willing to step on and use others to their own advantages. To the point of pushing them aside and often out of the congregation altogether. Look at what John says it 1John 4 to get an understanding of this.

 

In 1John 4:1-6 we find this statement: “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know you the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesses not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh (in the person of the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth, Who alone reveals the secret things of Christ as written and hidden in the Old Testament) is not of God: and this is that (spirit) of antichrist, whereof you have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world (this was introduced with Judas Iscariot, in John 7:5, Luke 6:13, 16). You are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world. They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world hears them. We are of God: he that knows God hears us; he that is not of God hears not us. Hereby know we the Spirit of Truth, and (they have) the spirit of error.”

This is what took place around 350 through today when a spiritual vacuum was created because the One Church fell into err. Shortly after the execution of Peter and Paul. Through the development of what Empirer Constantine together with the Roman Catholicism did when they brought into the church all forms of demons and pagan worship. The mainbody of believers went underground quite literally because of the falsewitness and a warning of what was to come, in the form of todays Islam. It was this vacuum that caused what became a falsechrist and falseprophet in the person of Mohomad who disceived millions and is all about killing both the Hebrews and those who call upon the Name above all others Jesus, Who is the Christ of GOD's being among and in man. This is why we are to pray the prayers of intercession for not only our borthers and sisters of faith but for those caught up in mans religion and deception caused by that evil spirit of religion. This spirit is a familiar spirit given powers of deception because of mans unbelief. There are many passages that speak of this spirit in Leveticus 20:27, of king Saul's use of in 1Samuel 28, 1Chronicles 10 and 2Chronicles 33 and Isaiah 19 and 24 and in Jeremiah 9. Many do not take to heart the words spoken in Jeremiah 12 and elsewhere.

Thessalonians part 30

In verse 13 of this same chapter 12, God also tells Daniel of his rebirthing through which he will receive his allotted portion at the end of the age (or as the end of days). Jesus marks this periods beginning in His death, resurrection and later ascension as seen in Mark 16:19, Luke 24:50-51 and Acts 1:9. We also see Jesus telling the disciples that no man knows the day or the hour of the end and that this knowledge is reserved to God alone. But Jesus also tells His disciples that the secret things of God are to be known by them (and subsequently all true believers, as Paul and the others are our example of this truth). When He is revealing by way of parables many secret things of the kingdom about to be ignited or inaugurated by Him through His vacarious death which will open wide a new and living venue, this is seen in Matthew 13:35. Because you see Christ is the beginning of all things now being spiritual....whereas with Adam, he being a spiritual man lost this status and indeed ours and became earthy, carnal, worldly and darkeness being separated (disconnected in what is called death) from God.


Back we go to verse 19 of 1John 2 where we find this statement, “They went out from us, but they were not of us;” with this statement comes the next seen, “but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.” To this I stated, this is known as backslidding or falling away, here are some of the characteristics spoken of as being causes of this status: absence of a spiritual leader in Exodus 32:1, 8 [1Samuel 15:11], evil associations in 1Kings 11:4, worldly success in 2Chronicles 25:2, 14 [Psalm 78:57, Hosea 6:4, Zephaniah 1:6], shollowness in Luke 8:13, emptiness of life in Luke 11:24-26, lack of spiritual insight in John 6:63-64, 66 [1Timothy 5:15], love of the world in 2Timothy 4:10, as being unfaithful or being a covenant-breaker (Leviticus 26:15, Psalm 55:20) in, Isaiah 24:5 [33:8], Jeremiah 11:10, 22:9 [Ezekiel 17:19], 44:7, Romans 1:31-32 [hebrews 8:9] and by the forsaking of God in 2Chronicles 15:2, Ezra 8:22, Jeremaih 1:16, 2:13, 5:19, 15:6, Ezekiel 6:9, 2Peter 2:15. Then we have the perseverance in this phrase, “for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us:” we find this brought out in the following passages in, Job 17:9, John 15:9 [Acts 13:43, Romans 2:7], Galatians 6:9 [2Timothy 3:14], Hebrews 12:1, 1Peter 1:13, Revelation 3:11. But there is also implied here the forsaking of Christ to which Jesus Himself also addressed in Matthew 19:22 and 26: 56, John 6:66.

 
In verse 20 we have the Holy Spirit spoken of as being the “unction,” in some translations He is spoken of here as an “anointing.” But it is in the rest of this passage where we find that this is not a smearing with oil, but is rather the revelation of understanding which only the Spirit of Truth imparts. Hear it again, “But you have an unction from the Holy One, and you know all things.” For this is the spring board for what John here after states, because the Holy Spirit here is our teacher. In other areas He is our tutor, instructor, trainer, mentor [He provides aid and comfort], and is the revealer of all TRUTH. As our teacher we find this in scripture spoken of Him in Nehemiah 9:20, Luke 12:12 John 14:26, 1Corinthians 2:13 and to the obedient He is promised to, lead us in the pleasant path in Psalm 23:2, to help in making decisions in Psalm 25:9 [Psalm 32:8], to be our guide forever in Psalm 48:14, be our wise counsel in Psalm 72: 24, to be the still voice in Isaiah 30:31, to guide in adversities in Isaiah 42:16 [Isaiah 48:17], to be our illumination in Luke 1:79 [John 10:4], He is to reveal all Truth in John 16:13 and a whole lot more if we will but trust Him. But we must first of all receive Him, one way this is done is to repent of our sin nature, then second is to simply ask! From these it is but a matter of stepping out in trust, as the people listed in Hebrews 11 did, when we trust in God's way He counts our trust as righteousness and apart from this no one will see the LORD God or even know Him as spoken in Hebrews 12:14 and that which follows through verse 29.

Thessalonians part 29

Before moving on it might do us well to look at what the Bible reveals about mans quest for a knowledge of the unknown God of Acts 17:23 and mans worship of it. Remember the Medes and then the Persians, who later became Medo-Persia, these are descendants of Japheth. And are spoken of in Esther and Daniel, as well as Ezra, 2Kings 17, 2Chronicles 36 and even in Isaiah. These people were figured in the likeness of a black bear. And in Jasher as black cows which later turned to ravenious wolves. Today this area is modern day Iran, though broken up into smaller nations, as it wants to regain the lands of its former kingdom which covered from the boarder of Turkey in the north to Egypt in the south and most of Asia Minor to the east. It could be these people that John in Revelation speaks of as being four forms of beasts in chapter 6. I say this with hesitation because there are also the old Roman kingdom and a few other old kingdoms that could fit the scenario of discription here as well. Today we are seeing the figure of the black horse and rider who carries a pair of blanaces in his hand. These balances could equate to the Religious order and the Sharia Law that is harsher than the Law of Moses even though it springs from it and the condemnation of all who oppose either.


In 1John 2:18-25, 26 we find this: “Little children, it is the last time: and as you have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. They went out from us, but (because) they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us. But we have an unction from the Holy One, and we know all things. I have not written to you because you know not the truth, but because you know it, and that no lie is of the truth. Who is a liar but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denies the Father and the Son. Whoever denies the Son, the same have not the Father: (but) he that acknowledges the Son has the Father also. Let that therefore abide in you, which you have heard from the beginning. If that which you have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, you also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father. And this is the promise that He has promised us, even Eternal Life.

These things have I written to you concerning them that seduce you.”

 
Okay, looking more closely what do we have here, “Little children, it is the last time: and as you have heard that antichrist (look at 2Timothy 3:1, 13) shall come, even now are there many antichrists (in 1John 4:3, 2John 7, Matthew 24:5, 24, Mark 13:22); whereby we know that it is the last time. (look at Matthew 24:4-8, 15-28 with emphasis on verse 24, 2Thessalonians 2:3, 1Peter 4:7, 2Peter 2:1), they went out from us (this is known as backslidding or falling away), but (because) they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would (no doubt) have continued with us: but (they went out,) that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us. But (for) you have an unction from the Holy One, and you know all things. I have not written to you because you know not the truth, but because you know it, and that no lie is of the truth. Who is a liar but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denies the Father and the Son. Whoever denies the Son, the same have not the Father: (but) he that acknowledges the Son has the Father also.) Let that therefore abide in you, which you have heard from the beginning. If that which you have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, you also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father. And this is the promise that He has promised us, Eternal Life.

These things have I written to you concerning them that seduce

you.”

In verse 18 right off the bat we have the phrase “it is the last time” and then for good measure as a way of showing the importance he uses this term again at the close of the verse. (God the Holy Spirit chooses to use this to stress the weight of what is being revealed by Him to us.) This is that of which the old testament prophets spoke of, in Daniel 2:28 of (verses 25-30), in 8:18-19 (stated as, the appointed time of the end, seen in Revelation 10:7, pointing toward 11:15-18 in Revelation), in 12:9 of (verses 5-13, relating to Isaiah 2:2, Micah 4:1 and is also found in Acts 2:17 and 2Peter 3:3), with the coming of antichrist which Daniel discloses as a secret known by God and that it is He alone Who will disclose him in verse 28 of chapter 2. In verse 9 of chapter 12 God tells Daniel that the words are concealed and sealed up until the end time. Allow me to pause here a moment to look at the next verse of Daniel 12 before moving hastilly past. Because we find this statement in verses 10, “The Lord said, Go your way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. For many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise (prudent and skilled in wisdom) shall understand.” Just who are counted as being “the wise?” We today have many that exhibit evil works (Matthew 24:39), and dullness (Psalm 82:5, Micah 4:12, Matthew 13:13, Acts 28:27, and are graficly revealed in Romans 1:18-32 where the unbelieving and the consequences of unbeleif are so poignantly revealed from God's persective.) These verses of Daniel have all happen back during the first 100-650 years of the new venue of the Age of Grace, in which we are part of, this has lasted now alittle more than 1986 year from the time of Jesus' death on the tree. In fact the Arab world suffered its greatest violance around 600-800 AD when a man rose himself above all others calling himself a Prophet of God and the world, as was known before then, has never yet recovered. In fact because man does not learn his lessons of the past are today repeating them again, through those who fell by the way or removed themselves from the renewed relationship with the One True and Living God, our original Parent and Father of Life and spirit in man.

Thessalonians part 28

Just who or what is acting in accord with the activities of Satan? There are many figures and people groups that operate in Satans fashion because since the fall of man, when man lost his connection to God by or through direct means. Man has saught other means and often other gods in his search or quest to regain that inborn need within him for an understanding of the unknown GOD. God lost His ontological essence within man, man became a child of Satan. Man gained a foster father of evil intent who took over mans nature that had been in God's own image and likeness, had been is not an indeffentant period of time but is rather limited in its duration. Which this phrase means, “until the fullness of the Gentiles come in (Romans 11:25).” I must state this when I use the the word, “man” it is from God's perspective. Man includes all females in what is known as mankind, as one unit. This is not being sexest by any stretch of our vial imagination and once more it is not being politically correct either as both are an abomination before GOD, who alone is Just. Man in his original state was a divine being of spirit. This can be more fully seen in Genesis 1:26-27 as being of one spirit, a spiritual being. We find in the Bible the use of a singular term for God, though He has many hats or titles through which He is revealed and known. This brings about the understanding of the term “even him” as being those who exhibit in a lesser or greater degree inline with the character and nature of Satan. Because this character is mans normal behavior now and it is this that is broken sometime after man has accepted his Redemption. This coming, is seen within each generation, as a new coming or beginning, as if it had never before happened. Why? Because it is new within the people of that generation. Jesus' work is new in each new generation and within each individual, because it is not inherited and passed down through the next generation by our parents. The only characteristic that is of the first is the nature of Satan that resides within the body of all mankind form our first parents in whom the first separation actually took place. This separation brought about the death of mans body because mans spirit was encapsulated in a kind of shell, much as seen in all plants. With the death of mans flesh which housed the ontological essence of God's own Spirit as within Jesus. Jesus caused an upevil the likes of which, to His death, the world had not known, this venue has forever changed mans dispensational period, in its many forms. Because through the door now opened mans spirit can be reborn, re-genesised, if you will. Through a reversal of free will choice, it is this same free will choice that took place in Genesis 3:1-15 where man lost communication and fellowship with his creator as a pure and innocent spiritual being. Man lost this innocents by free will choice. Jesus as the son of man, came to bring about this change of venue for mankind. It is this change of venue that these people fail to accept as the work of love. And by so doing remain sons of Satan and ensturments of his deception, desceiveing others.

Verse 8 reveals: Satan's defeat as shown in Heberews 2:14-15 (Genesis 3:15, Luke 4:13, John 12:30-31, 14:30, 1John 3:8 [Revelation 20:10], the spirit of His mouth is the two edged sword, or the sword of the Spirit in Hebrews 4:12 (Isaiah 11:4, Ephesains 6:17, Revelation 1:16, 2:12, 16), the power of the Word as seen as a devouring flame in Jeremiah 5:14, a crushing hammer in Jeremaih 23:39, a life-giving force in Ezekiel 37:7 [Acts 19:20], a saving power in Romans 1:16, a defensive weapon in Ephesians 6:17, a probing instrument in Hebrews 4:12, as a means of divine reproof in Revelation 2:16 (Psalm 9:5, 45:5, 50:21, 105:14, 119:21, Isaiah 17:31, Zechariah 3:2, Luke 9:55, Revelation 19:15).

 

Verses 9-10 reveals: the works of Satan in the following ways, Satan's power in Hebrews 2:14 as the power of death, permitted to afflict the righteous in Job 1:12, claim authroity over the world in Luke 4:6, sinners under the dominion of in Acts 26:18, blinds the minds of unbelievers in 2Corinthians 4:3-4, contends with the saints in Ephesians 6:12, use of lying wonders as seen in Revelation 13:13 (Exodus 7:11, 22, 8:7, Matthew 7:22, 24:24, Revelation 16:14, 19:20), Satanic wiles also seen in Revelation 12:9 (2Corinthians 2:11, 11:3, Ephesians 6:11, Revelation 20:7-8), he makes use of deceit through the wicked by the word in Psalm 36:3, their counsels in Proverbs 12:5, their false kisses in Proverbs 27:6, their houses in Jeremiah 5:27, and the center of their being in Mark 7:22, in unrighteousness as seen in 2Peter 2:13 (Romans 1:18, 6:13, 1John 5:17, through the use of vain talk in Proverbs 10:19, contempt for others in Proverbs 14:21, foolish thoughts in Proverbs 24:9, unbelief in Romans 14:23, neglect of opportunities in James 4:17, transgression of the law [this is the law of love and faith through which Grace works in the new venue] 1John 3:4), then in the works of all unrighteousness in 1John 5:17, next we have the word despised in Psalm 50:17, Isaiah 5:24, 30:12, Jeremiah 6:10 [8:9, 20:8], 36:23, Zechariah 7:12 [Mark 7:13], as an attitude of the wicked toward the truth in Isaiah 59:4, Jeremiah 9:5, Galatians 3:1, 1Timothy 6:5, 2Timothy 3:8.

Verses 11-12 reveals: blindness inflected upon them as a strong delusion in Isaiah 6:10,29:10, Mark 4:12, John 12:40, Romans 11:25, desception in Romans 7:11 [Ephesians 4:22], 1Timothy 2:14, 2Timothy 3:13, Titus 3:3, Hebrews 3:13 [Revelation 19:20], self-deception as seen in Psalm 36:2, spiritual bondage in Isaiah 44:20, conceit in Galatians 6:3, careless hearing in James 1:22, an unbridled tongue in James 1:26, a fasle sanctimoniousness in 1John 1:8, spiritual poverty in Revelation 3:17, having a fasle trust as seen in Psalm 52:7, 146:3, Proverbs 11:28, 28:26, Isaiah 31:1, 47:10, Jeremiah 17:5, 49:4, Amos 6:1, next is condemnation as seen in John3:19, Romans 5:18, 1Corinthians 11:34, 1Timothy 3:6, Titus 3:11, James 5:12, man is now under this condemnetion as seen in 2Samuel 24:10, Job 42:6, Psalm 31:10, 32:3, Ezekiel 33:10, the Apostate church as a reprobation seen in Leviticus 26:17, Deuteronomy 28:15, 31:17, 1Kings 14:16, Jeremiah 7:15, 15:1, Hosea 9:17, those who exhibit these characteristics are under a divine curse as seen in Genesis 3:17, 4:11, Deuteronomy 11:28, 27:15, 28:16, Joshua 6:26, Judges 5:23, Jeremiah 11:3, Malachi 3:9, Galatians 3:10, it would not be right not to include the warnings again unbelief so here goes Deuteronomy 32:20, Hosea 8:12, Mark 16:14 [John 3:18], John 3:36, 8:24, 16:8-9 [Romans 11:20], Hebrews 3:12, 4:11 [Jude 4], here is a list of unbelief found in Luke 12:46, John 4:48, 5:38, 8:45, 10:26, Acts 14:2, 2Thessalonians 3:2, Revelation 21:8, why is these things listed herein so? Because man loves sin more than God as found in Job 15:16 [20:12], Psalm 52:3, Proverbs 2:14 [Isaiah 5:18], Jeremiah 14:10 [Micah 3:2], 2Thessalonians 2:11-12, these are further known as evil imaginations in Genesis 6:5 [8:21], 11:6 [Deuteronomy 31:21, Psalm 38:12, Proverbs 6:18 [Jeremiah 23:17] Ezekiel 8:12, Romans 1:21, these are also found referenced as having an evil heart of depravity.

Thessalonians part 27

The Bible is an open book of instruction and transparency unlike all others, in the proper way of righteousness for those who will approach it with an open mind and a prayfull heart. Within it is revealed the errors of man in his adulterers, fornications and many forms of pagan worship all of which work against the acknowledge of GOD. But if we only approach it as we have been instructed by our own parents as well as a host of others, who often times misguide people among whom we find numbered with cardinals, clerics, pastors, teachers, bishops, and clergymen. Each of who promote a doctrine of mans invention in mans own theology. Then we are and will remain forever lost to GOD, its author. Why do I say it in this fashion you may ask? Because many of these people fail to acknowledge their own state of sin in death's separation, as positions of Satan and forever separated from the One True and Living GOD, Christ Jesus. After all He was and is the worlds greatest Prophet knowing both mans true beginning and end. Mans first encounter with this righteousness is scene Genesis 3:21 with the sacrifice and blood letting of the animal who also provided mans covering with its own flesh. This sacrifice was then carried out throughout the ancient of days until sometime after Noah's flood and the appearance of Jacob who became Israel, by only a few. This attitude was lost to the nation while it remained in its captivity within Egypt and is what also brought it out from among them. And is also seen in 2Corinthians 6:14-7:5 and is meant to do with those who become Christ's inheritance and He theirs, as a holy people of GOD.


2Thessalonians 2:8-12 “Then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of His mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of His coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. For this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.”


The Weymouth New Testament states this passage this way: “Then the Lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will sweep away with the tempest of His anger, and utterly overwhelm by the awful splendour of His Coming.
The appearing of the Lawless one will be attended by various miracles and tokens and delusive marvels---for so Satan works--- and by every kind of wicked deception for those who are on the way to perdition because they did not welcome into their hearts the love of the truth, so that they might be saved. And for this reason God sends them a misleading influence that they may believe the lie; in order that all may come under judgement who have refused to believe the truth and have taken pleasure in unrighteousness.”

 
This confirms what I have said above. Here again the translator or publisher has added, “Even him.” Leaving this out we find this, “Then shall that Wicked be revealed, whose coming is after the working of Satan in power, signs, and lying wonders in deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish, because they receive not the love for Truth that they may be saved, whom the LORD will consume by the breath, spoken Word and destroy in the Brightness of His coming.”

This maybe a good place to reveal what my wife heard early this morning while still a sleep on her bed, which is this, “You can't MAKE the fit, you have to SEE the fit." Like when I am putting the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle together I will take the time to layout the pieces according to their placement. What I mean is this, I place all the border pieces in one area and then position them accordingly to make the frame, then I'll start looking for simular colors of objects and place them together and from there I'll fill in the voids. The Holy Spirit does the samething with me in the use of scriptures, this He started doing sometime after He cleared my vision and perception of the word. This all agrees with what the LORD told me and those sitting at our kitchen table back in 1985 when He said, 'that we would be able to put the scriptures together,' this is the seeing the fit which brings understanding. Understanding to the revelation and often called Light of Christ, as the Living Word the word of Truth in which, Eternal Life exsists. This Jesus said that we are to eat and drink as if eating bread and drinking water. Water being one element used in many ways and having many meanings such as washing, or as drink, look in Mark 9:41 and John 3:5 to see other uses for water. One other point is the use of the word “saved” at the end of verse 10, this saved can be both healed and to save from the judgment that is about to come upon all in rebellion, in apposition to Christ's work.

Who are counted among the wicked and lawless ones to be revealed? Those who exhibit the characteristics of verse 4 and all that was revealed there. What is meant by the term “Even him,” who was interjected by the translaters? One translation states this, “that is, the one whose presence is in accord with the activities of Satan, with all power and attesting miracles and false wonders, and with every deception of wickedness for those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth so as to be saved.” (in the NASB)

Thessalonians part 26

Looking at 1Timothy 3:9 and 16 which state the following: 1Timothy 3:9, 16 “Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.....without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached to the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.”


Herein we have spoken the mystery of faith, look at Romans 16:24-27 where we find this: “The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be within you all. Says the Amen.

Now to Him that is of power to establish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation (spiritual understanding) of the mystery (secret things of God, spoken of in Deuteronomy 29:29), which was kept secret since the world began, but now is made manifest (known, revealed), and by (through, as being hidden within) the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations (Gentiles who exercise free will choice) for the obedience of faith: To the only wise God, be glory through Jesus Christ forever. The Amen.”

 
Those who acquire a pure conscience have revealed these secret things and it is these who become God's Ambassadors, as stewards of these secrets. As such they are then to share by means of revealing them as Paul has done, this he also calls a tradition as being the standard of proper use. This is not the traditions of men in religion, as it “Lets.” This is that which restrains and hinders from mans being able to receive the understanding, designed to end or terminate the meaning of, hitherto, as a work of Satan.” (Romans 1:11-15, emphasis on verse 13 as the other side of the coin of hitherto)


Looking at Isaiah 43:10-15 first and then Romans 1:11-15, in Isaiah 43:10-15 with emphasis on verse 13, we find this stated: “You are My witnesses, says the LORD, and My servant whom I have chosen: that you may know and believe Me, and understand that I am He (look to Exodus 3:14-15) before Me there is no God formed, neither shall there be after Me. I, I am the LORD; and beside Me there is no savior. I have declared, and have saved, and I have shown, when there was no strange god among you: therefore you are My witnesses, says the LORD, that I am God. Yes, before the day was I am He; There is none that can deliver out of My hand: I will work, and who shall let it? Thus states the LORD, your redeemer, the Holy One of My Israel; For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and have brought down all their nobles, and the Chaldeans, whose cry is in the ships (this word has two meaning one of good fruit and the other of bad fruit leaning toward destruction, having no truth). I am the LORD, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King.”


Looking at Romans 1:11-19, with emphasis on verse 13: 11-15, 16-17, 18-19; “I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, to the end you may be established; That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me. Now I would not have you ignorant, that oftentimes I purposed to come to you, (but was let (to retard progression) hitherto (for a season or set time in duration, not to end all together), that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles. I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise. So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God to salvation to every one that believes; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God has shown (revealed)itto them.”

I am imprassed to say something more on “but was let hitherto.” God is not a respector of person, because those who are not His are not. In other words He does not know them and those who become His are scealed by Him as being His own again. This scealing takes place within mans soul, or heart as being the inward parts of man. Making the inward parts His home or temple, which is not seen or known by the outward observation of man. Just as the outward observation of all that was Israel's Temple could be observed, in all of the items used in worship and the hidden inward holiest place were but a stark reality of what was to change. The “but was let” is the Temple of Israel which retards Israel's progession forward to faith through the resurrected LORD and the “hitherto” is the blindness of Romans 11:25 which states this in verses 25-32, “I would not, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness (spiritually speaking) in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in (this the time limtiation pointing towards an expected end in duration, this duration no man knows as it remains hidden in God, Isaiah 59:20 and Matthew 24:36). And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: For this My covenant to them, when I shall take away their sins. As concerning the (this) gospel, (they are) enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, (they are) beloved for the fathers' (Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and even king David's because he is the repentant king) sakes. For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance (the father's are the gifts given Israel through whom the promise of mans redemption was to come about as promised man in Genesis 3:15, this then brings all for whom the LORD died for to His Salvation, John 10:14-28, and 2Corinthians 5:14-15). For as in times past you have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief: Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy. For God has concluded them all in unbelief, that He might have mercy upon all.” (look at Ezekiel 18:30-31, Acts 2:36-39, 3:19, 26, 26:20, Hebrews 12:14) There is coming a day when God will seal from each tribe, an elect few in number for the work of spreading His Gospel, this is revealed in Revelation 7. This sealing will happen at the moment the Body, Church and Family of the LORD is removed, as it triggers the beginning the times of great wrath. The appointed end of “hitherto,” when the blindness of all man is removed causing mass hysteria in those left behind. This also means that those sealed will bring about the greatest spiritual revival known to man during this great tribulation period.
