So now what is the great secret of GOD that this worlds churches and mans false religion is hiding from uninformed man? And why would so many be willing to come to the end of their days to keep this a secret? Or why would any pastor, teacher, preacher, evangelist or elder of any church denomination hold this back from anyone it beyond me. For an answer to these and many more such questions I want to share what another walker of Abraham's faith has to say about these and the many more.

Shared by Dave Carringer a friend and brother on Face book.

"A few years ago I began a journey. I didn’t set out looking for it... the journey came looking for me. It was like a light came on in a room I didn’t know existed, and as I explored this room I saw things almost too good to be true. From there, a new light came on in another room filled with amazing things, and then another room... and another room after that.

What I saw as these lights came on was more beautiful than anything I had known in the past. A couple times I paused briefly to look back, realizing how far I was moving away from what many had warned me was the only ‘safe ground’ to be on. But deep inside I knew it was already too late. At least where I was now was real. Here, questions weren’t only allowed; they were encouraged... and I was finding answers that actually made sense! There was freedom to move in fresh, new, wide open spaces where Love was the backdrop of everything I felt and saw. This wasn’t some story I was reading; it was my own LIVING experience that was so vibrantly tangible! I was no longer stretching upward to grasp the divine, only to graze it now and then with my fingertips... but everything in my midst became holy to me; not only to be seen and felt and tasted... but flowing out of me in connection with everything else around me as One... and it was far more exciting and Life-giving than anything I had ever known in the past.

I had crossed a point of no return, where that which I’d searched diligently to grasp ‘back there’... had nothing to compare with all that now ran from every side to encounter me. The further I moved from traditions I was told I ‘must’ take part in, I began to see what a deep groove of fear based tunnel-vision I had been entrenched in. I never intended to offend anyone with this new and amazing Life of truth and reality that was engulfing me... and yet some became offended that I would even consider venturing away from the pack. I soon began to realize I was learning more about the kingdom of Love from some of the very ones I’d been warned to stay away from... than I had from those who had issued the warnings.

I now know I could never go back... and think “why would a man in his ‘right mind’ ever want to?” I couldn’t see it from there in the groove, but once I got out, everything became much clearer. I can see it now; Fear is the darkest blindfold man could ever wear... and remains the most effective tool in herding alienated minds to keep them under religious control. Where there is any tone of fear, ultimatums, torment or conditions that exist... you can be assured it doesn’t come from Love; for there is no fear in Love... even if it comes dressed up in its Sunday best.

So don’t be afraid to venture off from pack mentality. Just because it runs in a herd... doesn’t make it right. When the blindfold falls away (and it will) you’ll be able to see... this amazing journey of life is SO worth it all, and you’ll never stop being thankful for those first few steps you took to allow the Truth & Reality of heaven to move you forward... into the freedom you were created to enjoy all along.

We can all find scriptures penned by other men in the past that ‘seem’ to say whatever we want them to in order to prove what is stored up in our heart today. Therefore, what we preach and outwardly exhibit to others around us is the *overflow of OUR heart... and not necessarily God’s. The overflow of the Father’s heart was revealed in the actions of Jesus, who said no one had seen or known the Father but Him.

May we live and teach from this same mind of Christ revealing the Father’s heart in word and deed, that others may see the same Love in us that He showed to all. So if I can’t say it or do it as a humble servant who esteems all men as treasure in earthen vessels... then I shouldn’t be doing it at all. Oh how this world will change before our eyes when we let this mind be revealed in us which was in Christ our LORD.

As Paul’s life-changing revelation becomes such a present day reality in our lives that we understand the why, when, how, and ‘now’ of it... everything in our vision changes. As more people begin to ‘see’ through these eyes... the sooner the sons & daughters of God who rise up with it will heal the landscape of this earth and everything in it until it becomes what the Father designed it to look like from the beginning. “I can no longer regard anyone merely by the flesh... for each one carries the treasure of God withIN their earthen vessel.” All creation is up on its tip-toes waiting...
Can you ‘see’ it???"

Over these nine years of doing this blog I in the beginning did not know what end I was coming to, all that I knew. Was that I was answering the question asked of me on August 14th of 2007 when I heard this, 'Are you ready to take My yoke upon you and learn of Me?' To which I answered Yes LORD!

So today I want to look at "religion" as a separate word, because of how it is slung around to cover everything of a Divine and spiritual nature. Again, because for me and others like me who have put on father Abraham's shoes we now walk by Christ's faith having our minds restored to that of a Genesis 2 being, as a Christ one. No longer a religious one but rather one with GOD the Father in spirit, sold out to Him Who was the head of Jesus, so is HE the head and heart of me and indeed of us. For it is His Life, Love, and Light that is my, our path of life, the law. Not religions many customs, traditions, rites, rituals, and holidays all of which are today deceptions of mans past and a need for them within his fallen state played upon by the spirit of slumber and delusion given by GOD to the rebellious soul be they Hebrews / Jews or gentiles long ago. Because what happened to the Hebrews / Jews happened to the gentile world also as there is no partiality with GOD. But before looking into religion, I want to look at Job 18 for within it we find something of interest to us. Keep in mind that Bildad is giving answer to Jobs discourse of 17 in his lamenting of his plite.

Job 18:5-9 of 1-21 "Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said: "How long will you hunt for words? Consider, and then we will speak. Why are we counted as cattle? Why are we stupid in your sight? You who tear yourself in your anger, shall the earth be forsaken for you, or the rock be removed out of its place? "Indeed, the light of the wicked is put out, and the flame of his fire does not shine. The light is dark in his tent, and his lamp above him is put out. His strong steps are shortened, and his own schemes throw him down. For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walks on its mesh. A trap seizes him by the heel; a snare lays hold of him. A rope is hidden for him in the ground, a trap for him in the path. Terrors frighten him on every side, and chase him at his heels. His strength is famished, and calamity is ready for his stumbling. It consumes the parts of his skin; the firstborn of death consumes his limbs. He is torn from the tent in which he trusted and is brought to the king of terrors. In his tent dwells that which is none of his; sulfur is scattered over his habitation. His roots dry up beneath, and his branches wither above. His memory perishes from the earth, and he has no name in the street. He is thrust from light into darkness, and driven out of the world. He has no posterity or progeny among his people, and no survivor where he used to live. They of the west are appalled at his day, and horror seizes them of the east. Surely such are the dwellings of the unrighteous, such is the place of him who knows not GOD."

Guess that I will look at religion in my next blog post, the LORD willing.

Post, The Secret and Mysteries of GOD revisited, Things Now Spiritual cont'd again part 2

Our calling out from among them, we can be likened to the calling out of father Abraham because it is in his faith that we now stand. That said I will again look at our subject passage of 2Corinthians 6:11-7:4 which can be broke down into paragraphs like this 6:11-13, 14-7:1, 2-4. Here is how it reads:

"We have spoken freely to you, Corinthians; our heart is wide open. You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted in your own affections. In return (I speak as to children) widen your hearts also.

The Temple of the Living God

Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? What accord has Christ with Belial? Or what portion does a believer share with an unbeliever? What agreement has the temple of GOD with idols? For we are the temple of the living GOD; as GOD said (in Exodus 29:45 of 38-46; Leviticus 26:12 of 1-13; Jeremiah 31:1; Ezekiel 37:27 of 24-28; Exodus 25:8 of 1-9; Revelation 2:1), 'I will make My dwelling in them and walk among them, and I will be their GOD, and they shall be My people. (Isaiah 52:11 of 11-12; Revelation 18:4 of 4-8) Therefore go out from their midst, and be separate from them, says the LORD, and touch no unclean thing; then I will welcome you, (2Samuel 7:14 of 4-17; 1Chronicles 17:13 of 3-15; Isaiah 43:6 of 1-7; Hosea 1:10 of 10-11) and I will be a Father to you, and you shall be sons and daughters to Me, says the LORD Almighty.' Since we have these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from every defilement of body and spirit, bringing holiness to completion in the fear of (reverence as to one's husband, even) GOD.
Make room in your hearts for us. We have wronged no one, we have corrupted no one, we have taken advantage of no one. I do not say this to condemn you, for I said before that you are in our hearts, to die together and to live together. I am acting with great boldness toward you; I have great pride in you; I am filled with comfort. In all our affliction, I am overflowing with joy."

Now we have set the stage for our look at words like religion, restraint, and crooked. All having to do with the Jewish religion and in deed the deception and delusion set upon all unbelieving humanity. As we deal with verses 14-16 and then 17-18 as found above. For these are our promises of greatest concern, as we attempted to uncover the reverse or other side of them in Revelation 17-18, and verses 4-8 of chapter 18, within the last subject areas and parts of 2-4. Now one such passage is found in Job 18 as it deals with punishment.

By way of reminder we have been looking at "our calling out from among them" of 2Corinthians 6:11-7:4 and how it ties to Revelation 18:4-8 of 17-18. I would like now to return to our original base of 2Corinthians 6:11-7:4 by looking at the word "law" and "Law" for a moment or two. I did a brief scan of my Strong's Concordance of this ward law and found the following alpha number references used for the Hebrew text (here I will use the AHLB for the Hebrew):
H1881 in Deuteronomy 33:2, to walk in agreement;
H1882 in Ezra 7:12, a law or edict, a decree;
H2524 in Genesis 38:13, speaks of the father in law;
H2545 in Ruth 1:14, speak of the mother in law;
H2706 in Genesis 47:26, speaks of coming together by custom;
H2710 in Proverbs 31:5, to appoint a custom as in together;
H2859 in Genesis 19:21, speaks of marriage of two joined together by custom;
H2860 in 1Samuel 18:21, related by marriage, bridegroom, husband;
H2994 in Ruth 1:15, sister in law;
H3618 in Genesis 11:31,the one added to man to make him complete, wife;
H4687 in Jeremiah 32:11, law by command, ordinance, precept;
H4941 in Leviticus 24:22, judgment, manner, right, cause, ordinance, lawful, order, worthy, fashion, custom, discretion, law, measure, sentence;
H8451 in Exodus 12:49,Teaching: The direction one is to take in life;

Now for the Greek text (for the Greek I will use the Thayer's Greek):
G60 in Acts 19:38, gathering, as in a market place;
G458 in 1John 3:4, condition without law;
G459 in 1Corinthians 9:21, destitute of Mosaic Law;
G460 in Romans 2:12, to sin in ignorance of the Mosaic Law;
G1772 in 1Corinthians 9:21, bound by law, a relationship of rest;
G2917 in 1Corinthians 6:7, judgment by judaciation, in the manor of a Jew;
G2919 in 1Corithinas 6:1, to separate;
G3544 in Titus 3:9, an interpreter and teacher of the Mosaic law;
G3547 in Luke 5:17, a teacher and interpreter of the law: among the Jews; of those who among Christians went about as champions and interpreters of the Mosaic law;
G3548 in Romans 9:4, law giver, legislator;
G3549 in Hebrews 7:11, to enact laws, laws are enacted or prescribed for one, to be legislated for, furnished with laws;
G3551 in Matthew 5:17, anything established, anything received by usage, a custom, a law, a command, any law whatsoever, of the Christian: the law demanding faith, the moral instruction given by Christ, especially the precept concerning life and love;
G3565 in Matthew 10:35, from a primary but obsolete verb nupto (to veil as a bride, compare Latin “nupto,” to marry);
G3891 in Acts 23:3, to act contrary to the law, to break the law;
G3994 in Matthew 10:35, mother-in-law, a wife’s mother;
G3995 in John 18:13, father-in-law, a wife’s father;

There now I have gotten that off my chest. Though in a weak fashion because no where did we see the "law of life" used, defined or linked with common use. So here are but a few of such passages,as they are few; Ruth 4:15 of 13-17; (KJV) Proverbs 6:23 of 20-35, 13:14 of 9-20; Romans 8:2 of 1-8; Hebrew 7:16 of 11-22.

Law of Life,

Proverbs (ESV) 6:23 of 20-35 "My son, keep your father's commandment, and forsake not your mother's teaching. Bind them on your heart always; tie them around your neck. When you walk, they will lead you; when you lie down, they will watch over you; and when you awake, they will talk with you. For the commandment is a lamp (H6215) and the teaching (H8451) a light (H216), and the reproofs of discipline are the way (H1870) of life (H2416), to preserve you from the evil woman, from the smooth tongue of the adulteress. Do not desire her beauty in your heart, and do not let her capture you with her eyelashes; for the price of a prostitute is only a loaf of bread, but a married woman hunts down a precious life. Can a man carry fire next to his chest and his clothes not be burned? Or can one walk on hot coals and his feet not be scorched? So is he who goes into his neighbor's wife; none who touches her will go unpunished. People do not despise a thief if he steals to satisfy his appetite when he is hungry, but if he is caught, he will pay sevenfold; he will give all the goods of his house. He who commits adultery lacks sense; he who does it destroys himself. He will get wounds and dishonor, and his disgrace will not be wiped away. For jealousy makes a man furious, and he will not spare when he takes revenge. He will accept no compensation; he will refuse though you multiply gifts."

Romans 8:2 of 1-8 "There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law (G3551) of sin and death. For GOD has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, HE condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous requirement of the law (G3551) might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to GOD, for it does not submit to GOD's law (Will or Word); indeed, it cannot. Those who are in the flesh cannot please GOD."

Post, The Secret and Mysteries of GOD revisited, part 4p, Judgments

I have attempted to reveal and show by doing so the things that lay ahead for the wicked, spiritually corrupt and unbelievers of histories record and those yet to come. Some of these areas are so blended and complicated that they are very hard to separate because they all deal with mans make up which has interwoven within it finance, government or politics, and religion or spirituality as being part of his very fallen nature and cravings. There was a TV program some time ago that spoke of the "perception" of mans mind as the triggering device used to control him. Because with this one a programed mind mans conscience and subconscious respond in many fashions and manors which require little thought or reason and make the individual think and believe that it is the real he or she that is saying and do a thing, when it is the essences in them, it is not the reality of life. It is the essences within them that controls and manipulates him or her. That is why it is a requirement that all become "born from above," by the essence of GOD to bring mankind back to that of a Genesis 2 being and why it is that we are admonished to acquire the mind of Christ. That said I will now look at one more, possibly two areas of the Harlot's outcome with those who by deception cling to her be they politician, banker, or theologian (the 6-6-6 of Revelation that is anti-Christ) or just a every day unbeliever, having a skewed perception. Our next area will be back within 2Corinthians 6:11-7:4.

The Fate of Wicked,

Psalm 37:2 of 1-6 "Fret not yourself because of evildoers; be not envious of wrongdoers! For they will soon fade like the grass and wither like the green herb. Rather Trust in the LORD, and do good; dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness. Delight yourself in the LORD, and HE will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the LORD; trust in Him, and HE will act. He will bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday."


Psalm 37:10 of 7-11 "Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for Him; fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way, nor over the man who carries out evil devices! Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath! Fret not yourself; it tends only to evil. For the evildoers shall be cut off, but those who wait for the LORD shall inherit the land. In just a little while, the wicked will be no more; though you look carefully at his place, he will not be there. But the meek shall inherit the land and delight themselves in abundant peace."


Psalm 55:23 of 22-23 "Cast your burden on the LORD, and HE will sustain you; HE will never permit the righteous to be moved. For You, O GOD, will cast them down into the pit of destruction; men of blood and treachery shall not live out half their days. For I will trust in You."


Psalm 92:7 of 5-9 "How great are Your works, O LORD! Your thoughts are very deep! The stupid man cannot know; the fool cannot understand this: that though the wicked sprout like grass and all evildoers flourish, they are doomed to destruction forever; but You, O LORD, are on high forever. For behold, Your enemies, O LORD, for behold, Your enemies shall perish; all evildoers shall be scattered."


Psalm 112:10 "The wicked man sees it and is angry; he gnashes his teeth and melts away; the desire of the wicked will perish!"


Psalm 139:19 of 19-22 "Oh that You would slay the wicked, O GOD! O men of blood, depart from me! They speak against You with malicious intent; Your enemies take Your name in vain (by claiming to be one with You and subverting Your Gospel message to suit their needs). Do I not hate those who hate You, O LORD? And do I not loathe those who rise up against You? Yes! I hate them with complete hatred; I count them my enemies."


Proverbs 5:22-23 of 15-23 "Drink water from your own cistern, flowing water from your own well. Should your springs be scattered abroad, streams of water in the streets? Let them be for yourself alone, and not for strangers with you. Let your fountain be blessed, and rejoice in the wife of your youth, a lovely deer, a graceful doe. Let her breasts fill you at all times with delight; be intoxicated always in her love. Why should you be intoxicated, my son, with a forbidden woman and embrace the bosom of an adulteress? For a man's ways are before the eyes of the LORD, and HE ponders (watches) all his paths. The iniquities of the wicked ensnare him, and he is held fast in the cords of his sin. He dies for lack of discipline, and because of his great folly he is led astray."


2Peter 2:17 of 1-3, 4-16, 17-3:7 "For false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. And many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of truth will be blasphemed (maligned). And in their greed they will exploit you with false words. Their condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.
For if GOD did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to chains of gloomy darkness to be kept until the judgment; if HE did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah, a herald of righteousness, with seven others, when HE brought a flood upon the world of the ungodly; if by turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to ashes HE condemned them to extinction, making them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly; and if HE rescued righteous Lot, greatly distressed by the sensual conduct of the wicked (for as that righteous man lived among them day after day, he was tormenting his righteous soul over their lawless deeds that he saw and heard); then the LORD God knows how to rescue the godly from trials, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment until the day of judgment, and especially those who indulge in the lust of defiling passion and despise authority. Bold and willful, they do not tremble as they blaspheme the glorious ones, whereas angels, though greater in might and power, do not pronounce a blasphemous judgment against them before the LORD. But these, like irrational animals, creatures of instinct, born to be caught and destroyed, blaspheming about matters of which they are ignorant, will also be destroyed in their destruction, suffering wrong as the wage for their wrongdoing. They count it pleasure to revel in the daytime. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their deceptions, while they feast with you. They have eyes full of adultery, insatiable for sin. They entice unsteady souls. They have hearts trained in greed. Accursed children! Forsaking the right way, they have gone astray. They have followed the way of Balaam, the son of Beor, who loved gain from wrongdoing, but was rebuked for his own transgression; a speechless donkey spoke with human voice and restrained the prophet's madness.
These are waterless springs and mists driven by a storm. For them the gloom of utter darkness has been reserved. For, speaking loud boasts of folly, they entice by sensual passions of the flesh those who are barely escaping from those who live in error. They promise them freedom, but they themselves are slaves of corruption. For whatever overcomes a person, to that he is enslaved. For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world through the knowledge of our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first. For it would have been better for them never to have known the way of righteousness than after knowing it to turn back from the holy commandment delivered to them. What the true proverb (26:11) says has happened to them: "The dog returns to its own vomit, and the sow, after washing herself, returns to wallow in the mire." This is now the second letter that I am writing to you, beloved. In both of them I am stirring up your sincere mind by way of reminder, that you should remember the predictions of the holy prophets and the commandment of the LORD and Savior through your apostles, knowing this first of all, that scoffers will come in the last days with scoffing, following their own sinful desires. They will say, "Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things are continuing as they were from the beginning of creation." For they deliberately overlook this fact, that the heavens existed long ago, and the earth was formed out of water and through water by the word of GOD, and that by means of these the world that then existed was deluged with water and perished. But by the same word the heavens and earth that now exist are stored up for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly."


Jude 13 of 5-7, 8-13 "Now I want to remind you, although you once fully knew it, that Jesus, Who saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe. And the angels who did not stay within their own position of authority, but left their proper dwelling, He has kept in eternal chains under gloomy darkness until the judgment of the great day— just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desire, serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire.
Yet in like manner these people also, relying on their dreams, defile the flesh, reject authority, and blaspheme the glorious ones. For when the archangel Michael, contending with the devil, was disputing about the body of Moses, he did not presume to pronounce a blasphemous judgment, but said, "The LORD rebuke you." (recorded by Zechariah in 3:2 of 1-5) For these people blaspheme all that they do not understand, and they are destroyed by all that they, like unreasoning animals, understand instinctively. Woe to them! For they walked in the way of Cain and abandoned themselves for the sake of gain to Balaam's error and perished in Korah's rebellion. These are hidden reefs at your love feasts, as they feast with you without fear, shepherds feeding themselves; waterless clouds, swept along by winds; fruitless trees in late autumn, twice dead, uprooted; wild waves of the sea, casting up the foam of their own shame; wandering stars, for whom the gloom of utter darkness has been reserved forever."


Portion of the wicked,

Job 20:23, 29 of 20-29 "Because he knew no contentment in his belly, he will not let anything in which he delights escape him. There was nothing left after he had eaten; therefore his prosperity will not endure. In the fullness of his sufficiency he will be in distress; the hand of everyone in misery will come against him. To fill his belly to the full, GOD will send His burning anger against him and rain it upon him into his body. He will flee from an iron weapon; a bronze arrow will strike him through. It is drawn forth and comes out of his body; the glittering point comes out of his gallbladder; terrors come upon him. Utter darkness is laid up for his treasures; a fire not fanned will devour him; what is left in his tent will be consumed. The heavens will reveal his iniquity, and the earth will rise up against him. The possessions of his house will be carried away, dragged off in the day of GOD's wrath. This is the wicked man's portion from GOD, the heritage decreed for him by GOD."


Job 24:18 of 18-25 "You say, 'Swift are they on the face of the waters; their portion is cursed in the land; no treader turns toward their vineyards. Drought and heat snatch away the snow waters; so does Sheol those who have sinned. The womb forgets them; the worm finds them sweet; they are no longer remembered, so wickedness is broken like a tree.' "They wrong the barren, childless woman, and do no good to the widow. Yet GOD prolongs the life of the mighty by His power; they rise up when they despair of life. He gives them security, and they are supported, and His eyes are upon their ways. They are exalted a little while, and then are gone; they are brought low and gathered up like all others; they are cut off like the heads of grain. If it is not so, who will prove me a liar and show that there is nothing in what I say?"


Job 27:13 of 13-23 "This is the portion of a wicked man with GOD, and the heritage that oppressors receive from the Almighty: If his children are multiplied, it is for the sword, and his descendants have not enough bread. Those who survive him the pestilence buries, and his widows do not weep. Though he heap up silver like dust, and pile up clothing like clay, he may pile it up, but the righteous will wear it, and the innocent will divide the silver. He builds his house like a moth's, like a booth that a watchman makes. He goes to bed rich, but will do so no more; he opens his eyes, and his wealth is gone. Terrors overtake him like a flood; in the night a whirlwind carries him off. The east wind lifts him up and he is gone; it sweeps him out of his place. It hurls at him without pity; he flees from its power in headlong flight. It claps its hands at him and hisses at him from its place."


Psalm 11:5b, 6 of 4-7 "The LORD is in His Holy temple; the LORD's throne is in heaven; His eyes see, His eyelids test the children of man. The LORD tests the righteous, for His soul hates the wicked and the one who loves violence. Let Him rain coals on the wicked; fire and sulfur and a scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup. For the LORD is righteous; HE loves righteous deeds; the upright shall behold His face."


Jeremiah 13:25 of 20-27 "Lift up your eyes and see those who come from the north. Where is the flock that was given you, your beautiful flock? What will you say when they set as head over you those whom you yourself have taught to be friends to you? Will not pangs take hold of you like those of a woman in labor? And if you say in your heart, 'Why have these things come upon me?' it is for the greatness of your iniquity that your skirts are lifted up and you suffer violence. Can the Ethiopian change his skin or the leopard his spots? Then also you can do good who are accustomed to do evil. I will scatter you like chaff driven by the wind from the desert. This is your lot, the portion I have measured out to you, declares the LORD, because you have forgotten Me and trusted in lies. I Myself will lift up your skirts over your face, and your shame will be seen. I have seen your abominations, your adulteries and neighings, your lewd whorings, on the hills in the field. Woe to you, O Jerusalem! How long will it be before you are made clean?"


Matthew 24:51 of 45-51 (Jesus is speaking) "'Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his Master has set over his household, to give them their food at the proper time? Blessed is that servant whom his Master will find so doing when He comes. Truly, I say to you, He will set him over all His possessions. For if that wicked servant says to himself, "My Master is delayed," and begins to beat his fellow servants and eats and drinks with drunkards, the Master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect Him and at an hour he does not know and will cut him in pieces and put him with the hypocrites. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'"


Luke 12:46 of 41-48 "Peter said, "LORD, are You telling this parable for us or for all?" And the LORD said, 'Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom his Master will set over His household, to give them their portion of food at the proper time? Blessed is that servant whom his Master will find so doing when HE comes. Truly, I say to you, HE will set him over all His possessions. But if that servant says to himself, "My Master is delayed in coming," and begins to beat the male and female servants, and to eat and drink and get drunk, the Master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect Him and at an hour he does not know, and will cut him in pieces and put him with the unfaithful. And that servant who knew his Master's will but did not get ready or act according to His will, will receive a severe beating. But the one who did not know, and did what deserved a beating, will receive a light beating. Everyone to whom much was given, of him much will be required, and from him to whom They entrusted much, They will demand the more.'"

This next portion of our last topic maybe up setting to a lot of people but truth must be maintained to bring about GOD's intended end of a more perfect son and daughter, if that were only true, as within His realm there is neither male or female only spirits that have no sexual gender at all. That said here goes with the subject at hand. From here the LORD willing we will look into the final separation of the just from the unjust or the righteous from the wicked, these all being spiritual in there nature. Especially after the day of transformation that took place around 30-68 ADE.

Abandonment by GOD, the wicked forsaken,

Judges 16:20 of 15-17, 18-22 "Delilah said to Samson, "How can you say, 'I love you,' when your heart is not with me? You have mocked me these three times, and you have not told me where your great strength lies." And when she pressed him hard with her words day after day, and urged him, his soul was vexed to death. And he told her all his heart, and said to her, "A razor has never come upon my head, for I have been a Nazirite to God from my mother's womb. If my head is shaved, then my strength will leave me, and I shall become weak and be like any other man."
When Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, she sent and called the lords of the Philistines, saying, "Come up again, for he has told me all his heart." Then the lords of the Philistines came up to her and brought the money in their hands. She made him sleep on her knees. And she called a man and had him shave off the seven locks of his head. Then she began to torment him, and his strength left him. And she said, "The Philistines are upon you, Samson!" And he awoke from his sleep and said, "I will go out as at other times and shake myself free." For he did not know that the LORD had left him. And the Philistines seized him and gouged out his eyes and brought him down to Gaza and bound him with bronze shackles. And he ground at the mill in the prison. But the hair of his head began to grow again after it had been shaved."


1Samuel 16:14 of 14-23 "Now the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and a harmful spirit from the LORD tormented him. And Saul's servants said to him, "Behold now, a harmful spirit from God is tormenting you. Let our lord now command your servants who are before you to seek out a man who is skillful in playing the lyre, and when the harmful spirit from GOD is upon you, he will play it, and you will be well." So Saul said to his servants, "Provide for me a man who can play well and bring him to me." One of the young men answered, "Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, who is skillful in playing, a man of valor, a man of war, prudent in speech, and a man of good presence, and the LORD is with him." Therefore Saul sent messengers to Jesse and said, "Send me David your son, who is with the sheep." And Jesse took a donkey laden with bread and a skin of wine and a young goat and sent them by David his son to Saul. And David came to Saul and entered his service. And Saul loved him greatly, and he became his armor-bearer. And Saul sent to Jesse, saying, "Let David remain in my service, for he has found favor in my sight." And whenever the harmful spirit from GOD was upon Saul, David took the lyre and played it with his hand. So Saul was refreshed and was well, and the harmful spirit departed from him."


2Chronicles 30:7 of 1-9 " Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and wrote letters also to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of the LORD at Jerusalem to keep the Passover to the LORD, the God of Israel. For the king and his princes and all the assembly in Jerusalem had taken counsel to keep the Passover in the second month—for they could not keep it at that time because the priests had not consecrated themselves in sufficient number, nor had the people assembled in Jerusalem—and the plan seemed right to the king and all the assembly. So they decreed to make a proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beersheba to Dan, that the people should come and keep the Passover to the LORD, the God of Israel, at Jerusalem, for they had not kept it as often as prescribed. So couriers went throughout all Israel and Judah with letters from the king and his princes, as the king had commanded, saying, "O people of Israel, return to the LORD, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, that HE may turn again to the remnant of you who have escaped from the hand of the kings of Assyria. Do not be like your fathers and your brothers, who were faithless to the LORD God of their fathers, so that HE made them a desolation, as you see. Do not now be stiff-necked as your fathers were, but yield yourselves to the LORD and come to His sanctuary, which HE has consecrated forever, and serve the LORD your God, that His fierce anger may turn away from you. For if you return to the LORD, your brothers and your children will find compassion with their captors and return to this land. For the LORD your God is gracious and merciful and will not turn away His face from you, if you return to Him."


Psalm 81:12 of 11-16 "'But My people did not listen to My voice; Israel would not submit to Me. So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts, to follow their own counsels. Oh, that My people would listen to Me, that Israel would walk in My ways! I would soon subdue their enemies and turn My hand against their foes. Those who hate the LORD would cringe toward Him, and their fate would last forever. For I would feed you with the finest of the wheat, and with honey from the rock I would satisfy you.'"


Proverbs 1:28 of 20-33 "Wisdom cries aloud in the street, in the markets she raises her voice; at the head of the noisy streets she cries out; at the entrance of the city gates she speaks: "How long, O simple ones, will you love being simple? How long will scoffers delight in their scoffing and fools hate knowledge? If you turn at my reproof, behold, I will pour out my spirit on you; I will make my words known to you. Because I have called and you refused to listen, have stretched out my hand and no one has heeded, because you have ignored all my counsel and would have none of my reproof, I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when terror strikes you, when terror strikes you like a storm and your calamity comes like a whirlwind, when distress and anguish come upon you. Then they will call upon me, but I will not answer; they will seek me diligently but will not find me. Because they hated knowledge and did not choose the fear (dread) of the LORD, would have none of my counsel and despised all my reproof, therefore they shall eat the fruit of their way, and have their fill of their own devices. For the simple are killed by their turning away, and the complacency of fools destroys them; but whoever listens to me will dwell secure and will be at ease, without dread of disaster."


Matthew 23:38 of 37-39 (Jesus is speaking) "'O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! How often would I have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you were not willing! See, your house is left to you desolate. For I tell you, you will not see Me again, until you say, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD.'"


Acts 7:42 of 35-43 "This Moses, whom they rejected, saying, 'Who made you a ruler and a judge?'—this man GOD sent as both ruler and redeemer by the hand of the angel who appeared to him in the bush. This man led them out, performing wonders and signs in Egypt and at the Red Sea and in the wilderness for forty years. This is the Moses who said to the Israelites, 'GOD will raise up for you a prophet like me from your brothers.' (Deuteronomy 18:18-19 of 15-22) This is the one who was in the congregation in the wilderness with the angel who spoke to him at Mount Sinai, and with our fathers. He received living oracles to give to us. Our fathers refused to obey him, but thrust him aside, and in their hearts they turned back to Egypt, saying to Aaron, 'Make for us gods who will go before us. As for this Moses who led us out from the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.' And they made a calf in those days, and offered a sacrifices of worship to the idol and were rejoicing in the works of their hands. So GOD turned away and gave them over to worship the host of heaven, as it is written in the book of the prophets (by Amos 5:26 of 25-27): "'Did you bring to Me slain beasts and sacrifices, during the forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel? You took up the tent of Moloch and the star of your god Rephan, the images that you made to worship; and I will send you into exile beyond Babylon.'"


Romans 1:24 of 18-23, 24-25, 26-32 "For the wrath of GOD is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. For what can be known about GOD is plain to them, because GOD has shown it to them. For His invisible attributes, namely, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. For although they knew GOD, they did not honor Him as GOD or give thanks to Him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal GOD for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.
Therefore GOD gave (gives) them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, because they exchanged the truth about GOD for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, Who is blessed forever! Amen.
For this reason GOD gave (gives) them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error. And since they do not see fit to acknowledge GOD, GOD gave (gives) them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. They are filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, slanderers, haters of GOD, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. Though they know of GOD's righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them."

Now we have come to where the rubber meets the road, if you will. As we begin our look at the wicked and spiritually wicked of the Bible as revealed in those spoken of throughout it's long history of governing mankind both inwardly and outwardly, yes that is right the word governs us whether we accept it or not. For GOD is the true and living Word and those who accept Him as HE Is are filled with His Divine Being just as the second Adam was and then His disciples and Paul and his became One Body within GOD. For this is the good new of the Gospel message of the ages. There remains three ares of subject matter that concerns me now in this section and they are: spiritual castaways, wicked forsaken, and the wicked rejected as they line up with the body of Revelation 17-18 and our targeted verses of 4-8 of chapter 18. Now some place along the line I want to take a look at the second coming of Jesus or is it the Christ one?

Spiritual Castaways,

Matthew 8:12 of 5-13 "When Jesus entered Capernaum, a centurion came forward to Him, appealing to Him, saying, "Lord, my servant is lying paralyzed at home, suffering terribly." And He said to him, 'I will come and heal him.' But to this the centurion replied, "Lord, I am not worthy to have You come under my roof, but only say the word, and my servant will be healed. For I too am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. And I say to one, "Go," and he goes, and to another, "Come," and he comes, and to my servant, "Do this," and he does it." When Jesus heard this, He marveled and said to those who followed Him, 'Truly, I tell you, with no one in Israel have I found such faith. I tell you, many will come from east and west and recline at table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven, while the sons of the kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.' And to the centurion Jesus said, 'Go; let it be done for you as you have believed.' And the servant was healed at that very moment."


Matthew 22:13 of 11-14 (Jesus is speaking) "'But when the king came in to look at the guests, he saw there a man who had no wedding garment. And he said to him, "Friend, how did you get in here without a wedding garment?" And he was speechless. Then the king said to the attendants, "Bind him hand and foot and cast him into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth." For many are called, but few are chosen.'"


Matthew 25:30 of 29-30 (Jesus is speaking) "'For to everyone who has will more be given, and he will have an abundance. But from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away. And cast the worthless servant into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'"


John 15:6 of 1-11 (Jesus is speaking) "'I Am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit HE takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit HE prunes, that it may bear more fruit. Already you are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you. Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. For I Am the Vine; you are [the] My branches. Whoever abides in Me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in Me he is thrown away like a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned. If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be My disciples. As the Father has loved Me, so have I loved you. Abide in My love. If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love. These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.'"


1Corinthians 9:27 of 24-27 "Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it. Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. So I do not run aimlessly; I do not box as one beating the air. But I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified."  


The Rejected of, by GOD,

1Samuel 15:23 of 20-23 "Then Saul said to Samuel, "I have obeyed the voice of the LORD. I have gone on the mission on which the LORD sent me. I have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and I have devoted the Amalekites to destruction. But the people took of the spoil, sheep and oxen, the best of the things devoted to destruction, to sacrifice to the LORD your God in Gilgal." To this Samuel said, "Has the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to listen than the fat of rams. For rebellion is as the sin of divination, and presumption is as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the LORD, HE has also rejected you from being king."


2Kings 17:20 of 19-20 "Judah also did not keep the commandments of the LORD their God, but walked in the customs that Israel had introduced. And the LORD rejected all the descendants of Israel and afflicted them and gave them into the hand of plunderers, until HE had cast them out of His sight."


Matthew 25:12 of 1-13 (Jesus is speaking) "'Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish (those who preach against the baptism of the Holy Spirit), and five were wise. For when the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil (the anointing or the Messiah's Spirit, given by the Holy Spirit) with them, but the wise took flasks (the Holy Spirit the source of the anointing or Messiah) of oil with their lamps. As the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and slept. But at midnight there was a cry, "Here is the bridegroom! Come out to meet him." Then all those virgins rose and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said to the wise, "Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out." But the wise answered, saying, "Since there will not be enough for us and for you, go rather to the dealers and buy for yourselves." And while they were going to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast, and the door was shut. Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, "Lord, lord, open to us." But he answered, "Truly, I say to you, I do not know you." Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.'"


Luke 13:27 of 22-30 "Jesus went on His way through towns and villages, teaching and journeying toward Jerusalem. And someone said to Him, "Lord, will those who are saved be few?" To this He said to them, 'Strive to enter through the narrow (the law of life, G2198, G2222) door. For many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able. When once the Master of the house has risen and shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, "Lord, open to us," then HE will answer you, 'I do not know where you come from.' Then you will begin to say, "We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets." But HE will say, 'I tell you, I do not know where you come from. Depart from Me, all you workers of evil!' In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of GOD but you yourselves cast out. And people will come from east and west, and from north and south, and recline at table in the kingdom of GOD. And behold, some are last who will be first, and some are first who will be last.'"


Hebrews 12:17 of 3-11, 12-13, 14-17 "Consider Him Who endured from sinners such hostility against Himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted. In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood. And have you forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons? (Job 5:17 of 17-27; Proverbs 3:11 of 1-12) "My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the LORD, nor be weary when reproved by Him. (Proverbs 3:12of 1-12; Psalm 119:75 of 73-80) For the LORD disciplines the one HE loves, and chastises every son whom HE receives." It is for discipline that you have to endure. GOD is treating you as sons. For what son is there whom his father does not discipline? If you are left without discipline, in which all have participated, then you are illegitimate children and not sons. Besides this, we have had earthly fathers who disciplined us and we respected them. Shall we not much more be subject to the Father of spirits and live? For they disciplined us for a short time as it seemed best to them, but HE disciplines us for our good, that we may share His Holiness. For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.
Therefore lift your drooping hands and strengthen your weak knees, and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be put out of joint but rather be healed.
Strive for peace with everyone, and for the Holiness without which no one will see the LORD. See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of GOD; that no "root of bitterness" springs up and causes trouble, and by it many become defiled; that no one is sexually immoral or unholy like Esau, who sold his birthright for a single meal. For you know that afterward, when he desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no chance to repent, though he sought it with tears."

There is today a message of "love" (a weak, wimpish, emotional love) promoted by religion's deception, not understanding that with "steadfast love" there are penalties for breaking fellowship and communion, by desecrating the alter of the LORD and turning ones back to the New standing Covenant of Grace into which we all have become one in and with Him to Whom we are married as Paul calls us. For today's study I will endeavor to look into examples of disobedience which carries penalties for such behavior, these we will also explore the LORD willing. Keep in mind that Israel is our example of disobedience and we are to learn from them His lessons, as He reveals Himself through them.

Disobedience, by way of examples,

Genesis 3:11 of 8-19 "And they (Adam and woman) heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool (early part, before dawn breaks) of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden. For the LORD God called to the man and said to him, 'Where are you?' And Adam said, "I heard the sound of You in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked, and I hid myself."
Gen 3:11 He said, 'Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten of the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?' Adam said, "The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit of the tree, and I ate." Then the LORD God said to the woman, 'What is this that you have done?' The woman said, "The serpent deceived me, and I ate." The LORD God said to the serpent, 'Because you have done this, cursed are you above all livestock and above all beasts of the field; on your belly you shall go, and dust you shall eat all the days of your life. I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.' To the woman HE said, 'I will surely multiply your pain in childbearing; in pain you shall bring forth children. Your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you.' Then to Adam HE said, 'Because you have listened to the voice of your wife and have eaten of the tree of which I commanded you, 'You shall not eat of it,' cursed is the ground because of you; in pain you shall eat of it all the days of your life; thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you; and you shall eat the plants of the field. By the sweat of your face you shall eat bread, till you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken; for you are dust, and to dust you shall return.'"


Genesis 19:26 of 23-26 "The sun had risen on the earth when Lot came to Zoar. Then the LORD rained on Sodom and Gomorrah sulfur and fire from the LORD out of heaven. And HE overthrew those cities, and all the valley, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew on the ground. But Lot's wife, behind him, looked back, and she became a pillar of salt."


Leviticus 10:1 of 1-3 "Now Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, each took his censer and put fire in it and laid incense on it and offered unauthorized fire before the LORD, which HE had not commanded them. And fire came out from before the LORD and consumed them, and they died before the LORD. Then Moses said to Aaron, "This is what the LORD has said: 'Among those who are near Me I will be sanctified, and before all the people I will be glorified.'" And Aaron held his peace."


Numbers 20:11 of 9-13 "Moses took the staff from before the LORD, as HE commanded him. Then Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly together before the rock, and he said to them, "Hear now, you rebels: shall we bring water for you out of this rock?" And Moses lifted up his hand and struck the rock with his staff twice, and water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their livestock. And the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, 'Because you did not believe in Me, to uphold Me as Holy in the eyes of the people of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land that I have given them.' These are the waters of Meribah, where the people of Israel quarreled with the LORD, and through them HE showed Himself Holy."


Joshua 7:1" But the people of Israel broke faith in regard to the devoted things, for Achan the son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took some of the devoted things. And the anger of the LORD burned against the people of Israel."


1Samuel 13:13 of 8-14 "He (Saul) waited seven days, the time appointed by Samuel. But Samuel did not come to Gilgal, and the people were scattering from him. So Saul said, "Bring the burnt offering here to me, and the peace offerings." And he offered the burnt offering. As soon as he had finished offering the burnt offering, behold, Samuel came. And Saul went out to meet him and greet him. Samuel said, "What have you done?" And Saul said, "When I saw that the people were scattering from me, and that you did not come within the days appointed, and that the Philistines had mustered at Michmash, I said, "Now the Philistines will come down against me at Gilgal, and I have not sought the favor of the LORD." So I forced myself, and offered the burnt offering." To this Samuel said to Saul, "You have done foolishly. You have not kept the command of the LORD your God, with which HE commanded you. For then the LORD would have established your kingdom over Israel forever. But now your kingdom shall not continue. The LORD has sought out a man after His own heart, and the LORD has commanded him to be prince over his people, because you have not kept what the LORD commanded you."


Jonah 1:3 of 1-3 "Now the word of the LORD came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, 'Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and call out against it, for their evil has come up before Me.' But Jonah rose to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD. He went down to Joppa and found a ship going to Tarshish. So he paid the fare and went down into it, to go with them to Tarshish, away from the presence of the LORD."


Zephaniah 3:2 of 1-7 "Woe to her [of Revelation 17-18, (the Nations)] who are rebellious and defiled, the oppressing city (Jerusalem)! She listens to no voice; she accepts no correction. She does not trust in the LORD; she does not draw near to her God. Her officials within her are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves that leave nothing till the morning. Her prophets are fickle, treacherous men; her priests profane what is holy; they do violence to the law (that points out mans flaws, a dart or arrow thrown, Strong's H8451 with root of H3384). The LORD within her is righteous; HE does no injustice; every morning HE shows forth His justice; each dawn HE does not fail; but the unjust knows no shame. 'I have cut off nations; their battlements are in ruins; I have laid waste their streets so that no one walks in them; their cities have been made desolate, without a man, without an inhabitant. I said, 'Surely you will fear ME; you will accept correction. Then your dwelling would not be cut off according to all that I have appointed against you.' But all the more they were eager to make all their deeds corrupt.'"

The Penalty for Disobedience,


Deuteronomy 11:28 of 26-28; 28:15 "'See, I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse: the blessing, if you obey the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you today, and the curse, if you do not obey the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn aside from the way that I am commanding you today, to go after other gods that you have not known.'"

Deuteronomy 28:15  "'But if you will not obey the voice of the LORD your God or be careful to do all His commandments and His statutes that I command you today, then all these curses shall come upon you and overtake you.'"


1Samuel 12:15 of 6-18, 28:18 of 15-19; 1Kings 13:21 of 20-25, Jeremiah 12:17 of 14-17 "Samuel said to the people, "The LORD is witness, who appointed Moses and Aaron and brought your fathers up out of the land of Egypt. Now therefore stand still that I may plead with you before the LORD concerning all the righteous deeds of the LORD that HE performed for you and for your fathers. When Jacob went into Egypt, and the Egyptians oppressed them, then your fathers cried out to the LORD and the LORD sent Moses and Aaron, who brought your fathers out of Egypt and made them dwell in this place. But they forgot the LORD their God. And HE sold them into the hand of Sisera, commander of the army of Hazor, and into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab. And they fought against them. And they cried out to the LORD and said, "We have sinned, because we have forsaken the LORD and have served the Baals and the Ashtaroth. But now deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, that we may serve You." And the LORD sent Jerubbaal and Barak and Jephthah and Samuel and delivered you out of the hand of your enemies on every side, and you lived in safety. And when you saw that Nahash the king of the Ammonites came against you, you said to me, "No, but a king shall reign over us," when the LORD your God was your king. And now behold the king whom you have chosen, for whom you have asked; behold, the LORD has set a king over you. If you will fear the LORD and serve Him and obey His voice and not rebel against the commandment of the LORD, and if both you and the king who reigns over you will follow the LORD your God, it will be well. But if you will not obey the voice of the LORD, but rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then the hand of the LORD will be against you and your king. Now therefore stand still and see this great thing that the LORD will do before your eyes. Is it not wheat harvest today? I will call upon the LORD, that HE may send thunder and rain. And you shall know and see that your wickedness is great, which you have done in the sight of the LORD, in asking for yourselves a king." So Samuel called upon the LORD, and the LORD sent thunder and rain that day, and all the people greatly feared the LORD and Samuel."


1Samuel 28:18 of 15-18; 1Kings 13:21 of 20-25, Jeremiah 12:17 of 14-17 "Samuel said to Saul, "Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?" Saul answered, "I am in great distress, for the Philistines are warring against me, and GOD has turned away from me and answers me no more, either by prophets or by dreams. Therefore I have summoned you to tell me what I shall do." To this Samuel said, "Why then do you ask me, since the LORD has turned from you and become your enemy? The LORD has done to you as HE spoke by me, for the LORD has torn the kingdom out of your hand and given it to your neighbor, David. Because you did not obey the voice of the LORD and did not carry out His fierce wrath against Amalek, therefore the LORD has done this thing to you this day."

1Kings 13:21 of 20-25; Jeremiah 12:17 of 14-17 "As they (Jeroboam and prophets, 1-10, 11-19) sat at the table, the word of the LORD came to the prophet who had brought him back. And he cried to the man of God who came from Judah, "Thus says the LORD, 'Because you have disobeyed the word of the LORD and have not kept the command that the LORD your God commanded you, but have come back and have eaten bread and drunk water in the place of which HE said to you, 'Eat no bread and drink no water,' your body shall not come to the tomb of your fathers.'" And after he had eaten bread and drunk, he saddled the donkey for the prophet whom he had brought back. And as he went away a lion met him on the road and killed him. And his body was thrown in the road, and the donkey stood beside it; the lion also stood beside the body. And behold, men passed by and saw the body thrown in the road and the lion standing by the body. And they came and told it in the city where the old prophet lived."

Jeremiah 12:17 of 14-17 "Thus says the LORD concerning all My evil neighbors who touch the heritage that I have given My people Israel to inherit: 'Behold, I will pluck them up from their land, and I will pluck up the house of Judah from among them. And after I have plucked them up, I will again have compassion on them, and I will bring them again each to his heritage and each to his land. And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently learn the ways of My people, to swear by My name, 'As the LORD lives,' even as they taught My people to swear by Baal, then they shall be built up in the midst of My people. But if any nation will not listen, then I will utterly pluck it up and destroy it, declares the LORD."


Ephesians 5:6 of 6-14 "Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of GOD comes upon the sons of disobedience. Therefore do not become partners with them; for at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the LORD. Walk as children of light (for the fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true), and try to discern what is pleasing to the LORD. Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them. For it is shameful even to speak of the things that they do in secret. But when anything is exposed by the light, it becomes visible, for anything that becomes visible is light. Therefore HE says (by Isaiah in 26:19 of 11-19, 51:17 of 17-20, 52:1 of 1-2 and 60:1 of 1-3), "'Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.'"


2Thessalonians 1:8 of 3-12; 1Timothy 1:9 of 8-11 "We ought always to give thanks to GOD for you, brothers, as is right, because your faith is growing abundantly, and the love of every one of you for one another is increasing. Therefore we ourselves boast about you in the churches of GOD for your steadfastness and faith in all your persecutions and in the afflictions that you are enduring. This is evidence of the righteous judgment of GOD, that you may be considered worthy of the kingdom of GOD, for which you are also suffering— since indeed GOD considers it just to repay with affliction those who afflict you, and to grant relief to you who are afflicted as well as to us, when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels in flaming fire, inflicting vengeance on those who do not know GOD and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. They will suffer the punishment of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the LORD and from the glory of His might, when He comes on that day to be glorified in His saints, and to be marveled at among all who have believed, because our testimony to you was believed. To this end we always pray for you, that our GOD may make you worthy of His calling (2Corinthians 6:11-7:1 with Revelation 18:4-8 of 17 and 18) and may fulfill every resolve for good and every work of faith by His power, so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in Him, according to the grace of our GOD and the Lord Jesus Christ."

1Timothy 1:9-10 of 8-11 "Now we know that the law (here Strong's blends the two laws, in G3551, H8451, one of condemnation, the other the path of life less traveled) is good, if one uses it lawfully, understanding this, that the law (H8451 and G3551) is not laid down for the just but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who strike their fathers and mothers, for murderers, the sexually immoral, men who practice homosexuality, enslavers, liars, perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine, in accordance with the gospel (the path of life is laid down, revealed) of the glory of the blessed GOD with which I have been entrusted."


Hebrews 2:2-3 of 1-4 "Therefore we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away from it. For since the message declared by angels proved to be reliable, and every transgression or disobedience received a just retribution, how shall we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? It was declared at first by the Lord, and it was attested to us by those who heard, while GOD also bore witness by signs and wonders and various miracles and by gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to His will."
