THE MARK OF THE BEAST

As with any posting from anyone I do my best to try to communicate what is on my heart the best that I can. Please take all matters to the Lord in prayer. It is NOT my will that anyone be deceived. The enemy is after all of us, including me! I pray the Holy Spirit bears witness to all of you. If not then it could be for a different time in your walk with the Lord. DO NOT ACCEPT WHAT THE HOLY SPIRIT DOES NOT REVEAL BUT PRAY INTO IT. God bless the saints of the Lord and may the fullness of His love and spirit dwell and manifest richly within you.

It is amazing at the amount of speculation and gossip at what the mark of the beast is. Some say a micro chip, brain implant, bar codes, tattoos or just about any type of symbol or implant. I guess we will know soon enough.  This had me searching scripture and wondering about Satan entering Judas and there was no mark.  Also David vs. Goliath and no mention of a mark.  So I am sharing what I have so far for all of us to seek the Lord.  We know that we are called to discern the spirits so truthfully there should not be a mark necessary if you have spiritual discernment.  So time will tell but I thought I would share my thoughts as we all seek the Lord.  I believe AI will be the backbone of enforcement but it could have something to do with facial recognition and the “eyes” as Jesus said if single are full of light.

If you take the full counsel of the Word of God from Genesis all the way to revelations the Mark of the Beast is spiritually is revealed. That is why the Word of God as it is written is a “mystery”. Why is it a “mystery” you might ask. Plain and simple. It is a mystery to keep you searching but NOT only searching in the Written Word but directly from the Living Word by revelation of the Holy Spirit. Why hasn’t it been revealed by the Spirit earlier in time? The same reason the seals of the Book of Revelation exist. There is no one worthy but Jesus to open the seals! Daniel was told to seal the book for the appropriated time to be revealed.

Jesus has told us all the way from Genesis to Revelations what the spiritual Mark of the Beast is. The reason it is not in plain sight is because you need spiritual eyes and ears to see and hear what the Lord is saying! 

2 Timothy 2:15 (NKJV)

15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

If you read my blog post David VS, Goliath you would have better insight. What was Goliath called besides a giant! Goliath was called a beast! When David told Saul that he had killed a lion and bear they were “beastly animals” Kings of their domain so to speak! It was considered great courage if you defeated a lion or bear! Some native tribes there initiation of “manhood” was to kill a lion with a spear demonstrating courage! You were not considered a mature man until this was completed and established. You really should read that blog post: https://abidingbread.com/2025/12/02/david-vs-goliath-the-mark-of-the-beast/

Daniel 8:23–27 (NKJV)

23 “And in the latter time of their kingdom,

When the transgressors have reached their fullness,

A king shall arise,

Having fierce features,

Who understands sinister schemes.

24 His power shall be mighty, but not by his own power;

He shall destroy fearfully,

And shall prosper and thrive;

He shall destroy the mighty, and also the holy people.

25 “Through his cunning

He shall cause deceit to prosper under his rule;

And he shall exalt himself in his heart.

He shall destroy many in their prosperity.

He shall even rise against the Prince of princes;

But he shall be broken without human means.

26 “And the vision of the evenings and mornings

Which was told is true;

Therefore seal up the vision,

For it refers to many days in the future.”

27 And I, Daniel, fainted and was sick for days; afterward I arose and went about the king’s business. I was astonished by the vision, but no one understood it.

Those who have an ear to hear what the spirit is saying and eyes (vision as Daniel) will know the mark of the beast that was a “mystery” of the end of the age. That is directly why the beast system is called MYSTERY BABYLON. It WAS called mystery Babylon until the time of the seals being opened by the Lord. As the seals are opened so is the mystery! This teaching here and now is a direct witness to the times we are in and the end of the age!

If you are not walking in the fullness of the Spirit of Truth you will not know the mystery! I will let you read it in Paul’s own writing as Paul unfolds the MYSTERY OF INIQUITY. The mystery was given to Paul because Paul WAS FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT AND NOT A FOOLISH VIRGIN! YOU CAN’T PRESENT WHAT YOU DO NOT HAVE! WE KNOW IN PART AND PROPHECY IN PART! WE HAVE A LOVING GOD THAT WISHES NO HUMAN WOULD PERISH AND TODAY I AM WRITING ABOUT THIS MARK OF THE BEAST AS THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS INSTRUCTED.

2 Corinthians 11:2 (NKJV)

2 For I am jealous for you with godly jealousy. For I have betrothed you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.

What is a chaste virgin? Paul tells us directly in two passages of Ephesians. Why Ephesians you might ask? Ephesians is the book of spiritual warfare. It is how we do warfare and how we are prepared for warfare! If you are not a chaste virgin you are not equipped for warfare in the end of the age! You armor is not complete nor sufficient!

Here is the marks of a chaste virgin that is required. The same Apostle that wrote the majority of the New Testament tells us but the Epistles BRING CORRECTION TO THE CHURCH that is why the Apostles and Prophets were murdered just as Jesus was sentenced to be murdered! The church will not tolerate correction! Real apostles and prophets have dusted off their shoes to a stiff necked people!

Matthew 10:14–42 (NKJV)

14 And whoever will not receive you nor hear your words, when you depart from that house or city, shake off the dust from your feet. 15 Assuredly, I say to you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city!

16 “Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves. 17 But beware of men, for they will deliver you up to councils and scourge you in their synagogues. 18 You will be brought before governors and kings for My sake, as a testimony to them and to the Gentiles. 19 But when they deliver you up, do not worry about how or what you should speak. For it will be given to you in that hour what you should speak; 20 for it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.

21 “Now brother will deliver up brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death. 22 And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved. 23 When they persecute you in this city, flee to another. For assuredly, I say to you, you will not have gone through the cities of Israel before the Son of Man comes.

24 “A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master. 25 It is enough for a disciple that he be like his teacher, and a servant like his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more will they call those of his household! 26 Therefore do not fear them. For there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known.

27 “Whatever I tell you in the dark, speak in the light; and what you hear in the ear, preach on the housetops. 28 And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. 29 Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will. 30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31 Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.

32 “Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven. 33 But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven.

34 “Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. 35 For I have come to ‘set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law’; 36 and ‘a man’s enemies will be those of his own household.’ 37 He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. 38 And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. 39 He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it.

40 “He who receives you receives Me, and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me. 41 He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward. And he who receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward. 42 And whoever gives one of these little ones only a cup of cold water in the name of a disciple, assuredly, I say to you, he shall by no means lose his reward.”

1 Corinthians 2:7–9 (NKJV)

7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory, 8 which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

9 But as it is written:

“Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,

Nor have entered into the heart of man

The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”

The carnal mind can not understand the MYSTERY AS IT IS HIDDEN WISDOM WHICH WAS ORDAINED BEFORE THE AGES OF GLORY! When was the Lamb of God slain, before the foundation of the earth/world being created! That is part of the mystery! Now let’s read the requirements to be a chaste virgin and at the same time reflect on the 10 virgins at the Wedding Banquet/Ceremony. The wise virgins were FULL WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT WHICH IS THE WORD OF TRUTH! THE FOOLISH VIRGINS WERE NOT! WHAT DID THE SERPENT DO IN THE GARDEN? WHAT DID THE SERPENT SPEAK TO JESUS IN THE WILDERNESS AND WHAT WAS JESUS REPLY!

Here is the requirements to be a chaste virgin! Jesus also told us the requirements needed. I will get to that after I reveal what a completed chaste virgin looks like.

EXAMPLE ONE

Galatians 2:19–3:9 (NKJV)

19 For I through the law died to the law that I might live to God. 20 I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. 21 I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died in vain.”

What was the purpose of the law? To reveal sin and reach the point that you alone could not cleanse yourself of sin and unrighteousness! You needed a Savior! When Paul says he was crucified with Christ he died to the law so the fullness of grace could be established through faith in Jesus. Paul NO LONGER LIVED that is a chaste virgin which represents one attribute of the five WISE virgins being filled with the Spirit of God. If you deny this statement you deny Christ! In Jesus there is NO darkness so if you have darkness/sin you are not in the fullness of Christ Jesus.

What does Jesus tell us in Matthew 24 over and over again? SEE THAT NO ONE DECEIVES YOU! Jesus said IF THERE BE ANY DARKNESS IN YOU HOW GREAT IS THAT DARKNESS.

Darkness is un-crucified flesh NOT SANCTIFIED BY THE TRUTH OF THE WORD and the fallen nature of the Serpent all the way back to the garden. This is what John 1:1 states. John 1:1 is what I say over and over and over. YOU MUST NOT SEPARATE THE WRITTEN WORD FROM THE LIVING WORD CHRIST JESUS. Think Saul of Tarsus vs. Paul of Christ Jesus. Saul was a scholar’s scholar! Saul was master of the Word without Christ Jesus. What was Saul doing back in the days of Saul? Handing over Christians to be stoned to death. Have you read my blog post Saul and the Harlot Church? You really should: https://abidingbread.com/2026/01/02/saul-from-tarsus-and-the-harlot-church-of-revelations/

John 1:1 (NKJV)

The Deity of Christ

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

In Galatians 3 Paul is telling the Galatians they were bewitched which is what happened in the garden when the serpent bewitched eve! The lies and deception were allowed back in which subjected them to the Law which was written for the fallen nature not the resurrected in Christ Jesus. Paul tells them they fell from faith and when you fall from faith you fall from grace.

This is the great Apostasy at the end of the age and the great apostasy comes before the revealing of the Antichrist. You will NOT PURSUE SPIRIT AND TRUTH WITH BELIEVING LIES. Once saved always save is the twisting of surely you will not die! All the way back to the garden! We see it here now. Adam needed faith to believe the Father even when Adam did not completely understand. When you fall from faith your belief is in your ability and not in Christ Jesus. Your ability is the same as Satan saying I will ascend! Who has bewitched you? This puts your right back into the “tree of the knowledge of good and evil”. You do not just fall, you fall into something. The act of falling is not the landing point. If you are not justified by faith then all that remains is the law and the purposes of the law!

This same principle is behind the unbelief which creates the doctrine of the pre-tribulation rapture. That is the doctrine of Babylon and the purpose of the tower of Babylon as “I will ascend to the heavens”. Again I wrote three postings on that you can read. I also wrote about the real events and hidden meanings of what happened in the Garden of Eden. When you fall from faith you embrace the law and the law was written to the “fallen nature of the serpent” which was in us! Read: https://abidingbread.com/2026/01/15/what-really-happened-in-the-garden-of-eden/

As a man believes so he is! So all the way back to the garden is a sign of the beast. I will reveal it more as we go along.

When you partook of the tree of knowledge of good and evil you partook of the “image and likeness” of Satan! This is why Adam and Eve were cast out so sin could not enter into PURE LIGHT or there would be sin in heaven or and in the Father! The FATHER is the tree of life which is the fullness of the “image and likeness” of the Son Christ Jesus. That is why Jesus said IF YOU HAVE SEEN ME YOU HAVE SEEN THE FATHER. IT IS THE TRINITY UNFOLDING AND MANIFEST AMONG THE PEOPLE.

Galatians 3:1–4 (NKJV)

Justification by Faith

3 O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you that you should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed among you as crucified? 2 This only I want to learn from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?—3 Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now being made perfect by the flesh? 4 Have you suffered so many things in vain—if indeed it was in vain?

Our sufferings are designed by Jesus to conform us into His “image and likeness” the devil is a tool used to do this! Job’s sufferings were a testimony designed to reveal the end of the age and to reveal Christ Jesus who would suffer our wages of sin. All of the sufferings of Job are a prophetic insight of the end of the age. IT was the friends/brethren that accused of Job of sin! Who is the accuser of the brethren in the spirit? Why did Job lose his family? What did Jesus say about Himself and the purpose of His coming? Jesus did not come to make peace but to create division. Jesus divided what was for him and against him. I truly believe Job’s wife was a Jezebel.

Why do I say that you might ask with so very little scripture about her! I have been subjected to many Jezebels since I was three years of age! How do I know that because it has been revealed to me by the Lord. All those who are called of the Lord suffer martyrdom even as far back as conception! Did Joseph have to move Mary as they wanted to kill Jesus all the way back to the womb! Why do you think there are so many abortions? How many of those aborted babies might have been called by the Lord? Job was a prophetic voice revealing Jesus testimony of Jesus as Job would not deny the Lord even when great suffering was placed upon him. That is exactly what the saints are called to do at the end of the age! When Job’s wife told him to curse God and die that is the same thing Jezebel did in writing AS THE KING to Elijah as Jezebel killed the prophets of God. What loving wife would tell her husband to curse God and die! It was in her heart but remember what the Lord told Satan. You may afflict him and take everything that Job has but do NOT KILL HIM! It was the desire of Job’s wife to kill Him but it was forbidden! So when Job’s wife said curse God and die, how is that different than what Jezebel wrote to Elijah? Let it be done to you as you have done to mine by the end of the day! Now you know! Elijah killed a total of 850 false prophets. That was thousands of years ago. He was outnumbered 850 to 1, how many false prophets are there today?

Genesis 50:20 (NKJV)

20 But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive.

BACK TO GALATIANS

5 Therefore He who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you, does He do it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? 6 just as Abraham “believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” 7 Therefore know that only those who are of faith are sons of Abraham. 8 And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel to Abraham beforehand, saying, “In you all the nations shall be blessed.” 9 So then those who are of faith are blessed with believing Abraham.

Without faith we can not please god! That is what prompted me to write a very controversial title blog post called SPIRITUAL HALF BREEDS. Yes the Lord had me write that! I suggest you read it:

https://abidingbread.com/2026/01/04/spiritual-half-breeds/

EXAMPLE TWO OF BEING A CHASTE VIRGIN

Galatians 6:14–15 (NKJV)

14 But God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. 15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but a new creation.

What Paul writes here is the fulfillment of what Galatians 2:20 produced! Dead to the world, the things of the world, the pride of life, lust of the eyes and lust of the flesh. Paul was the living example of a chaste virgin a new creation in Christ in the fullness of the “image and likeness” of the Son of God which is Christ Jesus.  This is why even the demon spoke, Paul I know, Jesus I know but who are you! Jesus and the Father are ONE. That is why the book of Romans is so powerful when Paul expounds on partaking in the death and resurrection! Remember if you are not crucified to the world you are not crucified to Christ! If the love of the world is in you the love of the Father is not! Now let’s see what Jesus tells us on becoming a chaste virgin!

EXAMPLE THREE

John 17:14–19 (NKJV)

14 I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 15 I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one. 16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 17 Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth. 18 As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. 19 And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified by the truth.

Just as we read in Galatians 3 and the spiritual bewitching of the serpent we read above you are only sanctified by the WORD OF TRUTH and believing any lies that are spoken, preached or prophecy which is NOT SPIRIT AND TRUTH you will NOT BE A CHASTE VIRGIN! Keeping from the evil one references the lies and deceptions of the evil one! If we were removed from the world there would be no living testimony within a “people”. With out the fullness of the Word of God and Living God which are ONE dwelling in you you will not be a chaste virgin. SO IF THE FULLNESS OF THE WRITTEN WORD IS NOT WITHIN YOU THE FULLNESS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IS NOT WITHIN YOU. While every man/woman thinks their wisdom shall sustain them it is total folly! The only way to achieve the fullness of the Written Word is achieved in one way!

John 15:1–11 (NKJV)

The Relationship of Believers to Christ

15 “I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. 2 Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. 3 You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. 4 Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.

5 “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. 6 If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. 7 If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. 8 By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.

9 “As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. 10 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.

11 “These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full.

Hebrews 8:10 (NKJV)

10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.

What type of people dwell in a house the Lord builds? It is the family of God or people that belong to the Lord by salvation and not a land, state or nation! Many are called few are chosen! Does that sound like a land, state or nation? Few are chosen!

2 Corinthians 3:1–3 (NKJV)

Christ’s Epistle

3 Do we begin again to commend ourselves? Or do we need, as some others, epistles of commendation to you or letters of commendation from you? 2 You are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read by all men; 3 clearly you are an epistle of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of flesh, that is, of the heart.

I HOPE YOU ARE BEGINNING TO SEE ALL OF THE FALSE NONSENSE TAKING PLACE WITHIN THE ASSEMBLY OF THE BRETHREN. All the false expounding and teachings of scriptures and that you are not truly receiving SPIRITUAL FOOD! You are babes and not being preached unto maturity because the abundant life is a spiritual life in Christ Jesus. In order to receive in Spirit and Truth you yourself must be born of the spirit. In addition you must NOT remain a babe in Christ and seek to be a chaste virgin with a heart, mind and soul totally given over, sanctified by The Word of Truth by the Spirit of Truth by total surrender and abandonment of your own thoughts, feelings and beliefs. When you obtain the status of a chaste virgin then you will only speak and only do what the Father is doing and speaking just as Jesus did! None of you and all of Jesus.

Revelation 14:1–5 (NKJV)

The Lamb and the 144,000

14 Then I looked, and behold, a Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with Him one hundred and forty-four thousand, having His Father’s name written on their foreheads. 2 And I heard a voice from heaven, like the voice of many waters, and like the voice of loud thunder. And I heard the sound of harpists playing their harps. 3 They sang as it were a new song before the throne, before the four living creatures, and the elders; and no one could learn that song except the hundred and forty-four thousand who were redeemed from the earth. 4 These are the ones who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever He goes. These were redeemed from among men, being firstfruits to God and to the Lamb. 5

And in their mouth was found no deceit, (lies because it came from the mouth)

for they are without fault before the throne of God.

1 Peter 1:25–2:3 (NKJV)

25 But the word of the Lord endures forever.”

Now this is the word which by the gospel was preached to you.

2 Therefore, laying aside all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all evil speaking, 2 as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby, 3 if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.

How do you know you are listening to the pure Word so that you may grow. It is very simple yet complex at the same time. You must hear the voice of God for yourself and not through anyone else as what they speak must witness in the Holy Spirit within you.  That is why Jesus told HIS disciples if they hear you they have heard ME/Jesus. The Apostles and Prophets spoke the true living Word of God in Spirit and Truth NOT AS PARROTS reciting what they others said, taught or believed! Seminary creates parrots not preachers! The Holy Spirit only comes from one source and it doesn’t require paid tuition! Those that are born again walking by the Spirit of God know when lies, deceit, manipulation and twisting of scripture is being spoken because it stirs up the Holy Spirit with in you that something is not right! Why does it stir up the Holy Spirit because it is NOT OF THE SPIRIT OF GOD.  There are ONLY two primary spirits, Christ and Antichrist!

Acts 16:16–24 (NKJV)

Paul and Silas Imprisoned

16 Now it happened, as we went to prayer, that a certain slave girl possessed with a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much profit by fortune-telling. 17 This girl followed Paul and us, and cried out, saying, “These men are the servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation.” 18 And this she did for many days.

But Paul, greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.” And he came out that very hour. 19 But when her masters saw that their hope of profit was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace to the authorities.

20 And they brought them to the magistrates, and said, “These men, being Jews, exceedingly trouble our city; 21 and they teach customs which are not lawful for us, being Romans, to receive or observe.” 22 Then the multitude rose up together against them; and the magistrates tore off their clothes and commanded them to be beaten with rods. 23 And when they had laid many stripes on them, they threw them into prison, commanding the jailer to keep them securely. 24 Having received such a charge, he put them into the inner prison and fastened their feet in the stocks.

Paul was greatly annoyed, grieved in the Spirit of The Lord that is what prompted him to cast out the demon. What the woman spoke was true but NOT SPIRIT AND TRUTH! The carnal minded man who does not walk in the Holy Spirit would say “praise the Lord”! But the spiritual man would cast out the demon! It is an “inner witness” not an outward emotion, feeling or belief.

Colossians 3:16–17 (NKJV)

16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. 17 And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

Are you seeing the mark of the beast as we go forward as I’ve laid almost all of the ground work. Now lets continue.

Matthew 24:36–39 (NKJV)

Illustration of the Days of Noah

Mark 13:32–37; Luke 21:34–36

36 “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only. 37 But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 38 For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, 39 and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.

Noah is a precursor to Christ Jesus at the end of this age. Noah was a preacher of righteousness but was denied by those whom he warned. Noah was called, led and followed God and was not established by any seminary or false prophets! Called by God! The whole earth was deceived. People fell from Spirit and Truth (unbelief) and/or denied Spirit and Truth of God’s Word.  The people were not born again as this is before Pentecost,but it takes faith to be saved! They were not saved because they had unbelief!

Genesis 6:1–8 (NKJV)

The Wickedness and Judgment of Man

6 Now it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, 2 that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose.

3 And the Lord said, “My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he is indeed flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.” 4 There were giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.

5 Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6 And the Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. 7 So the Lord said, “I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them.” 8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.

This is what the Lord is referring to in Matthew 24 as in the days of NOAH. The intent, thoughts and heart were only evil continually! Think about that! There was nothing within humanity that desired anything good! It is the fullness of evil within humanity! It is the fullness of the tree of knowledge of good and evil developed within you which is the spirit of Antichrist rising throughout the world today. The revival by these false preachers, prophets and apostles is the spirit of Antichrist and too many deceived or professing Christians praise the revival of Antichrist because the have NO SPIRITUAL DISCERNMENT. Again read my post about Jesus and the Pharisees! The blind and deaf are leading the blind and deaf! If you are not “listening/seeking/verifying” by the Holy Spirit you rely on carnal knowledge which is your wisdom and NOT THE WISDOM OF THE LORD.

We are getting close to finishing. I want to reflect on David vs. Goliath as I wrote in my blog post:

https://abidingbread.com/2025/12/02/david-vs-goliath-the-mark-of-the-beast/

The battle of David vs. Goliath is very important and I am working on a second posting which will cover more. What I want to show you is that NOTHING IS CIRCUMSTANTIAL in the Word of God. Everything happens exactly as the Lord wills it to happen. Jesus is in total control.

When David killed Goliath where did the stone land? Why did it strike where it struck Goliath. Surely a greater miracle would have been to go right through the protective armor! See nothing is by chance! Why is Goliath not only referred to as a giant but a beast! How was Goliath conceived physically/spiritually and how does that compare to the virgin birth of Christ! Mary was a chaste virgin that the Holy Spirit conceived Jesus. Jesus could only be fully manifested by a chaste virgin! Are you a chaste virgin so that the fullness of the Spirit of God dwells within you. Is the manifestation of the SONS OF GOD coming forth in these last hours! TIME IS SHORT!

So now that I have revealed all of this let us conclude the number of the beast. It has been clearly defined right in the Word of God! This is not my opinion I am revealing to you it is Spirit and Truth.

Revelation 13:16–18 (NKJV)

16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.

The mark of the beast is not natural it is spiritual! That is why there is hardly any true spiritual discernment. If you can’t discern the demonic spirits do you really have the Holy Spirit? Is Jesus not omniscience and all knowing.

When a pastor says right from the pulpit that ONLY THE LORD KNOWS THE HEART that is from SATAN! Why because it is a partial truth and a partial truth is a lie! Jesus reveals the heart to those that belong to him. Jesus revealed the hearts of everyone that came to him! If Jesus reveals your heart to you why can’t Jesus reveal the hearts of others to you! Do we preach to intellect or to the heart! What was the very first thing Jesus revealed to Saul from Tarsus who was an ambassador of the Harlot Church! Jesus said Saul why do you persecute me! That pierced the heart of Saul as Saul replied who are you LORD! It is the Lord by the Power of The Holy Spirit that convicts the human heart and soul!

Now with all of the foolishness about micro chips, tattoos, bar codes, vaccines and about anything else you can pull out of your “junk drawer” let’s get down to real solid spiritual food!

The days of Noah their heart and mind was totally committed to evil and destruction! What does the soul contain which is your very persona and nature of your being? It is made from you heart and mind! What is a man created with? A mind, heart and soul! What are we trying to redeem, souls! The number of a man is his heart, mind and soul! That is the number of the beast! As I have said with absolutely no replies online what is the only thing in common with the kingdom of light and the kingdom of darkness. The Lord wants to restore us in His “image and likeness” the tree of life from the garden and Satan wants to create in us his “image and likeness” from the tree of the knowledge of good an evil. How is a man created and what is the number of that man, 666!

The number 666 is the human mind, heart and soul of a man! Free will is of the soul! That is what the Garden of Gethsemane is all about! It is the crucifixion of the soul which the essence of a man! What happened was the separation of the SON OF MAN AND THE SON OF GOD! This might sound crazy to you but most of the professing Christians worship the Son of Man and NOT the Son of God. When you say that the fullness of Jesus was a Jew you are worshiping the Son of Man! Who is NOT DIVINE! I can’t say this enough!

Who created the world, who created a man. Don’t tell me it was a Jew! When Moses asked the Lord whom shall I say sent me the Lord replied tell them “I AM”! When you worship a religion/denomination, land, state or country are you really worshiping the Lord? The true Israel is a people redeemed by the blood of Christ and Born of His Spirit! How do we know this, we will expound more. Just think about this, flesh and blood will not inherit the Kingdom of Heaven. A man must be born again to even see the Kingdom! Jesus didn’t come to redeem a parcel of land as all the earth will be burned in fire! Again read my post on Jesus vs. the Pharisees. Many are called but few are chosen! This applies to the nation/state of Israel not all will be chosen even though all were called! This applies to the whole world and as there is no longer Jew or Greek (Gentiles) but only those in Christ Jesus.

Matthew 22:37–38 (NKJV)

37 Jesus said to him, “ ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and great commandment.

The Lord by HIS divine wisdom does NOT allow any human to calculate this number because it must be spiritually revealed! IT MUST BE SOMETHING THE DEVIL CAN NOT MIMIC, TWIST OR COUNTERFIT.  That is why the Mark of the Beast is spiritual not physical.  There are only two kingdoms which represent the primary spirits, Christ and Antichrist! The mark of the beast is NOT man made or man applied! It is spiritually discerned!  Anything other than spirit is subject to the fall of man/Satan.  If it were something simple or obvious it would be easily twisted, manipulated and manufactured for greater deception!  There would be the potential for a false witness which kingdom  you belonged to.

So knowing this who do all the fools belong to that say it will be known by a fleshly mark and not by spirit. A foolish generation that seeks a sign and wonder! Show me a sign because I do NOT KNOW YOU ARE THE CHRIST JESUS! I NEED THE PHYSICAL SIGN BECAUSE I DO NOT HAVE THE SPIRITUAL DISCERNMENT WITHIN ME. When you spread spiritual gossip you lead the sheep astray. That is why the stone David slung hit Goliath in the forehead were “THE MARK OF THE BEAST” WAS! The right hand signifies the power given unto the beast as Jesus is seated at the right hand of the Father! This has nothing to do with the physical it is TOTALLY AND ABSOLUTELY SPIRITUAL! IN THE LAST DAY YOU WILL EITHER BE A “SON OF GOD” OR A “CHILD/SON OF THE DEVIL” so while you are looking for a physical mark you will not find one!

My personal thought by knowing this revelation is that AI through facial recognition AND/OR fingerprints will enforce the world system and that is already in place waiting to be implemented. The reason I believe this is with all of the “retina” scanning as the “eye” is the gateway to the soul!  I believe it is very possible the “one world government” will implement a “mark” in a form of “allegiance” which is “worship” to a one world government.   I have written before about the “pledge of allegiance” and how that is a masonic oath of Freemasonry.  That shows the USA is not of the True Living God but of Lucifer as god.  So the “mark of the beast” will be no different but on a world wide for of worship to the beast.  I saw a picture of the Prime Ministers podium in the UK and they are going to mandate teh BRIT card and it stands for “BIOMETRIC REGISTRATION IDENTIFICATION TRACKING.  AI be the backbone of enforcement as your facial recognition or fingerprints are already in a database and will be used globally.  When a newborn baby is born in the USA they take a footprint and a thumb print and use it for identification purposes!  IT IS REQUIRED.  So those who take the mark of the beast will have already been given over to the beast system in the heart, mind and soul. 

The weaponry and technologies are inspired by the devil and the fallen angels from Genesis 6.  How is this possible, go all the way back to Genesis 6 when the sons of god had offspring with the daughters of men.  I suggest you read the forbidden book Enoch 1.  Why is it forbidden because it tells you the wisdom and knowledge of the fallen angels gave instructions to men how to build swords and weapons for warfare as well as witchcraft, etc.  It is not in the divine nature to KILL.  How do you think nuclear bombs were made, heck how was COVID created!  By the inspiration of Satan, how was the vaccine for COVID created by the inspiration of Satan!  As I told the doctor of the widow I take care of when they wanted to force the vaccine.  I said COVID was created by man by the inspiration of Satan so I do not trust man inspired by Satan for the CURE.  MY GOD IS ABLE BUT IF HE CHOOSES NOT I WILL STILL NOT BOW TO SATAN!  Think of the fiery furnace once again!  

Matthew 6:22–23 (NKJV)

22  “The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light. 23 But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!

Proverbs 23:7 (NKJV)

7 For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.

“Eat and drink!” he says to you,

But his heart is not with you.

What was going on in the days of Noah, and what was their mind totally give over too?

Genesis 6:5 (NKJV)

5 Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

The thoughts is the mind, then you have the heart and the two comprise the soul! There is your 6, 6, 6! The number of a man totally given over to the indwelling of the Antichrist! Who was hell originally created for, the Devil and his minions!

How do we recognize the Mark of the Beast? Scripture tells us! This is why there is so much hype on the state of Israel because it is the devil working by deception and very few understand because the eyes of their heart are filled with darkness yet they believe they walk in the light of Christ Jesus. Why did Jesus tell the Pharisees they were of the devil? Have you read my blog post of Jesus vs. The Pharisees: https://abidingbread.com/2025/06/07/jesus-verses-the-pharisees/

When you read that post you will understand what is going on through the world! There were two great commissions in operation at the same time. The Pharisees had theirs and Jesus had His! Good verses Evil, two totally different “trees”!

Matthew 7:16–20 (NKJV)

16 You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? 17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them.

Now do you see the mark of the beast and why Satan has blinded the church of today and why there is no spiritual discernment. Why people are still calling good evil and evil good!

See my post on what spiritually happened in the Garden of Eden:https://abidingbread.com/2026/01/15/what-really-happened-in-the-garden-of-eden/

If you can’t discern the spirits you are either fooled into believing you are born again or you have fallen in the Great Apostasy and under the spirit of delusion because you refused to love the Truth and Truth is the person of Christ Jesus. So you allowed Satan to blind you again just as the foolish Galatians!

Either way you believe you are serving Jesus when you are serving Satan! Total and utter deception and destruction. That is why I wrote that Saul from Tarsus was an ambassador of the HARLOT CHURCH WHICH WILL BE ENFORCED THROUGH ALIGNED GOVERNMENTS! WHAT IS THE BIG DEBATE ABOUT ISRAEL TODAY! WHO ARE GOD’S PEOPLE!

1 John 4:1 (NKJV)

4 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

2 Corinthians 5:16 (NKJV)

16 Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer.

If you do not know Jesus as the PERSON/CHRIST by HIS SPIRIT you do not belong to Jesus!

John 10:27 (NKJV)

27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.

Matthew 7:15–20 (NKJV)

False and True Teaching

Luke 6:43–45

15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16 You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? 17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them.

Matthew 7:21–23 (NKJV)

True Way into the Kingdom

Luke 6:46

21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

Well the mystery of the mark of the beast has been settled. You either know Jesus by HIS SPIRIT or you don’t know Jesus at all! If the Lord does not speak to you then you have either fallen away in the Great Apostasy or you are not born again in Spirit and Truth. You do not have the Holy Spirit.

1 Samuel 16:7 (NKJV)

7 But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused him. For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”

People are looking for an outward mark of the beast but it is inward and spiritual! The carnal man looks for a carnal reality according to his own intellect but human intellect is far short of the Wisdom of God! Do you have the spirit of wisdom and revelation?

Ephesians 1:17–23 (NKJV)

17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, 18 the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, 19 and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power 20 which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, 21 far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.

22 And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, 23 which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.

Why does the Book of Revelations specifically say “HE WHO HAS AN EAR, LET HIM HEAR WHAT THE SPIRIT IS SAYING TO THE CHURCHES?

Revelation 3:6 (NKJV)

6 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” ’

Hebrews 6:4–6 (NKJV)

4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, 5 and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, 6 if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame.

I believe this is the condition of the church today as they have fallen from their first love after they were once enlightened, tasted the Holy Spirit and have fallen away from the Lord.

1 Peter 5:8–11 (NKJV)

8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. 9 Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. 10 But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. 11 To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

When you believe in once saved always saved there is no need to contend for the faith, spiritual growth and the pursuit of righteousness and holiness. You have allowed the Devil to repeat the same lie spoken in the Garden with different vernacular. What does Satan do, manipulate, twist and distort the Word of God!

May the saints be blessed, encouraged and victorious in Christ Jesus and may the Lord Jesus get the fullness of HIS inheritance from the finished work of Calvary on the Cross! In parting I leave this final chapter to wrap everything up with a nice bow! I hope and pray that the Spirit of the Living God bears witness to you about this writing as the end of the age and the last hour is about to hit!

John 15:26–16:15 (NKJV)

The Promise of the Holy Spirit

26 “But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me. 27 And you also will bear witness, because you have been with Me from the beginning.

16 “These things I have spoken to you, that you should not be made to stumble. 2 They will put you out of the synagogues; yes, the time is coming that whoever kills you will think that he offers God service. 3 And these things they will do to you because they have not known the Father nor Me. 4 But these things I have told you, that when the time comes, you may remember that I told you of them.

“And these things I did not say to you at the beginning, because I was with you.

5 “But now I go away to Him who sent Me, and none of you asks Me, ‘Where are You going?’ 6 But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart. 7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you. 8 And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 9 of sin, because they do not believe in Me; 10 of righteousness, because I go to My Father and you see Me no more; 11 of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.

12 “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. 13 However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. 14 He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you. 15 All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you.

THAT IS THE BOW I GIFT WRAPPED FOR YOU!

Matthew 22:37 (NKJV)

37 Jesus said to him, “ ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’

Philippians 2:5 (NKJV)

The Humbled and Exalted Christ

5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus,

Romans 8:16 (NKJV)

16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,

You may ask how or what do you do? How to prepare spiritually perhaps this post will help explain the difference of “swords” between Hebrews 4:12 and Ephesians 6 as you will need the “whole armor” of the Lord! This article should help you understand!

THE RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT OF CHRIST JESUS

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

THE RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT OF CHRIST JESUS

As with any posting from anyone I do my best to try to communicate what is on my heart the best that I can. Please take all matters to the Lord in prayer. It is NOT my will that anyone be deceived. The enemy is after all of us, including me! I pray the Holy Spirit bears witness to all of you. If not then it could be for a different time in your walk with the Lord. DO NOT ACCEPT WHAT THE HOLY SPIRIT DOES NOT REVEAL BUT PRAY INTO IT. God bless the saints of the Lord and may the fullness of His love and spirit dwell and manifest richly within you.

I just want to make a point that “rebellion” and “delusion” overlooks righteous judgment because of either “the falling away” apostasy from Spirit and Truth or outright denial of Spirit and Truth which is rebellion.

There are many false prophets, wolves in sheep clothing and hirelings in the pulpits and Christian circles, world known ministries, Christian radio and Christian television! These facts as they are indicate the condition of your heart for those who sit under these people as EVERY SINGLE PERSON ON EARTH will have had at one time or another heard the TRUE GOSPEL OF CHRIST JESUS FOR SALVATION! Having heard the TRUE GOSPEL IN SPIRIT AND TRUTH denying the Spirit of Truth will render righteous judgment from the Judgment Seat of the Lord Jesus.

So when you knowingly sit under these false prophets, wolves in sheep clothing and hirelings in the pulpit you are may very well condemning your soul like the parable of the frog in the pan of water being heated up slowly.

When you discern these wolves and hireling you should immediately seek the Lord in prayer for HIS will for you to be there. The Lord will always bring light and truth where there is darkness, lies and deception! That is why you must seek the Lord in prayer on what He wants you to do in this matter. Are you there to reach a few souls as many will not embrace Spirit and Truth or where you NOT SENT THERE BY THE LORD TO BEGIN WITH! After all it is the Lord who orders the steps of a righteous man.

Perhaps you are being tested which IS NOT PREACHED. How is faith, loyalty, devotion, long-suffering displayed and how do these virtues of Christ Jesus in you grow in maturity? How was Abraham’s faith test so why shouldn’t your faith be tested? How did Job bear witness and glorify the Lord by his sufferings and testimony, “The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away blessed be the Lord.” Is the Lord Jesus himself displaying and revealing the hearts of those who have rejected the Lord Jesus. YOUR HEART is being OPENLY DISPLAYED NAKED BEFORE THE LORD. If the Lord asks you will you be humble and attempt to bring leaders or saints to Spirit and Truth. Or will you remain in fellowship subjected to doctrines of demons and deceitful workers of iniquity? If you do, you partake in the judgment of the house you sit in, this is a fact many do not want to accept.

Matthew 10:14–15 (NKJV)

14 And whoever will not receive you nor hear your words, when you depart from that house or city, shake off the dust from your feet. 15 Assuredly, I say to you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city!

Did not Lot and his family have to depart Sodom and Gomorrah and Lot’s wife turn into a pillar of salt! Will you partake in the judgment upon them by continuing to sit and fellowship with evil?

The Lord will give you the desires of your heart even if the Lord is not your desire! Read my post Jesus vs. The Pharisees: https://abidingbread.com/2025/06/07/jesus-verses-the-pharisees/

Make no mistake, you are being tested! This will be more prevalent as we continue with a testing I went through and I share as a teaching. Remember the Lord Jesus wished no one would perish and that all would come to saving grace in Christ Jesus.

Acts 7:51–60 (NKJV)

Israel Resists the Holy Spirit

51 “You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears! You always resist the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, so do you. 52 Which of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? And they killed those who foretold the coming of the Just One, of whom you now have become the betrayers and murderers, 53 who have received the law by the direction of angels and have not kept it.”

Stephen the Martyr

54 When they heard these things they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed at him with their teeth. 55 But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God, 56 and said, “Look! I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!”

57 Then they cried out with a loud voice, stopped their ears, and ran at him with one accord; 58 and they cast him out of the city and stoned him. And the witnesses laid down their clothes at the feet of a young man named Saul. 59 And they stoned Stephen as he was calling on God and saying, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.” 60 Then he knelt down and cried out with a loud voice, “Lord, do not charge them with this sin.” And when he had said this, he fell asleep.

Read my blog post about Saul from Tarsus being of the Harlot Church of Revelations: https://abidingbread.com/2026/01/02/saul-from-tarsus-and-the-harlot-church-of-revelations/

2 Thessalonians 2:3–12 (NKJV)

3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.

5 Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? 6 And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. 7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming. 9 The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, 10 and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, 12 that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

What we just confirmed is that these people were not only once followers of Christ (disciples means followers but NOT born again followers). The disciples DID NOT BECOME APOSTLES UNTIL PENTECOST WHICH IS BEING BORN AGAIN! By the wisdom of God our Father no one can be disciples without the Holy Spirit because it was Jesus by the Spirit of The Lord that taught the disciples. Today’s church has lost this truthful foundation. That is what is meant by if the Lord does not build the house they labor in vein! So the doctrines of men and doctrines of demons will not render Spirit and Truth or holiness. Only Jesus can do that by the indwelling Holy Spirit! This is why people worship the Son of Man and NOT the Son of God! They follow the teachings of men not the Lord!

1 Corinthians 2:10–16 (NKJV)

10 But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. 11 For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.

13 These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15 But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one. 16 For “who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ.

Notice the spirit of a man is the spirit of this world which is the god of this world Lucifer the Devil! Doctrines of men is doctrines of demons!

Now what I about to share for the first time publicly is not being boastful, prideful or from a nature or spirit of being superior. I believe the Lord is having me share this because we are truly in the last hours NOT DAYS and we all know whether born again or not that the world is growing more wicked every day. We are little seeing prophecy of the Book of Revelations being manifested and fulfilled before our eyes. So by the will of the Lord Jesus I share this testimony about Jezebel as Jezebel is in the book of Revelations.

The Lord sent me as I did not chose to go to TWO world wide seminaries/ministry schools in immediate succession where the whole teaching administration’s teaching was twisted and manipulation of scriptures which was doctrines of demons. I discerned by the Spirit of the Living God that these people worshiped other gods! On the third day of the first school/seminary I went back to the parking lot mid evening when the facility was vacant and had a real stern discussion with the Lord while looking up at the stars similar to Abraham.

I said Lord, why did you bring me here and ask me to give away all of my household possessions, sell my home and travel for you. These people do not know you or worship you, they serve other gods. My desire is for more of you and you alone Lord. Why would you subject me to this constant spiritual warfare and evil. Remember I had only been there three days!

Right there in the parking lot I had a Moses moment as the Lord replied to me. I brought you here to reveal me and testify of me! I said Lord “who am I that I should be considered worthy to represent you”. This statement not only reflects Moses it also reflects the virgin Mary being considered worthy.

After four months of constant spiritual warfare not only from leadership but from students many who were deceived I cried myself to sleep as I was fasting and praying to the Lord.

Just a quick note, you should read my post about the damnation of spiritual gossip: https://abidingbread.com/2026/01/03/the-spiritual-damnation-of-religious-gossip/ The reason I mention that is because the Jezebel spirit spreads gossip getting other to pray for you! What they are really doing is putting curses upon you! Remember witches operate in covens! What my Jezebel leader said to my class behind my back was Glen doesn’t know Jesus or hear from Jesus so we must pray for him! READ MY BLOG POST! LIFE AND DEATH IS IN THE POWER OF THE TONGUE!

In my fasting and praying myself to sleep I said to the Lord. Lord if I have offended you by the constant subjection of the Holy Spirit to this constant spiritual warfare I ask for your forgiveness. I do not want to subject you Lord to this warfare as I love you Lord and anyone I love I desire to protect. Lord if I have been deceived in any way, shape or form and knowing or unknowingly come into agreement I declare right now that I have been redeemed, reconciled, washed in your blood, bought and paid for by your blood and atonement. Lord Jesus you are mine and I am yours! Lord I will NOT leave this battlefield until you speak to me to leave for I do not know the souls you will place before me to be a living witness and testimony! I will endure this suffering for your namesake but I do NOT desire to partake in what this place represents or in the gods they serve!

I fell asleep crying in my prayers as the anguish of spiritual attacks was wearing down my flesh’s ability to see, read the Word and other bodily functions yet my heart, mind and soul were steadfast on the Lord Jesus. At three in the morning I was immediately awoken to the Lord standing before me! It was glorious and powerful. I could see the outline of a man in complete body of light, pure light. Jesus spoke to me spirit to spirit no audible voice as I rented room in a home with other men who attended the same ministry school.

Jesus spoke to me. My son you have not grieved the Holy Spirit by these constant attacks. Your spiritual battle has been against the spirit of Jezebel as that principality is running this ministry school. You are free to go the choice is yours. At 6 am I went out to the kitchen to get a coffee and one of the students that attended the same ministry school ask how I was doing. I said I am well by the grace of God as Jesus was in my room at 3 am and answered my prayers of intercession. He replied with excitement and said I could feel a presence in the house and I kept speaking I wanted more but did not receive more. I said the Lord told me I am free to go now and leave school. Here is a point I want to make. If you think of the house layout I was at the far end. The man I rented from was in the middle who was a graduate of this ministry school and the third man I spoke with at 6 am was at the far end. The man I rent from who graduated NEVER FELT THE PRESENCE OF GOD. Unfortunately I was called a fool by both men for leaving the school.

Now let me point out there were 1400 students in first year! How many of them became disciples of Jezebel! This is an international school across the globe!

When I left the school and was driving from the west coast all the way to the east coast the Lord told me to fast and pray to break off any spirits that would attempt to follow or continue to attack. What I was doing in prayer is what the Lord does for us. Spiritually I was closing a door that NO man could open because it was Jesus who closed the door! Think of Noah and the Lord closing Noah inside the Arc which by the way was symbolic of the Arc of the Covenant! How do we know this? Did not Noah release the Dove from within the Arc! Why was it even called an ARC? You see that is the same thing that happened when Jesus got into the boat with the disciples during the raging waters! The LIVING NEW COVENANT CHRIST JESUS GOT IN THE BOAT. WHAT WAS THE NEW COVENANT INTENTIONS, SALVATION! THEY WERE SAVED FROM THE STORMS OF LIFE ON EARTH! WHICH ARE TRIALS, TRIBULATION, ETC.

About one month later I spoke to the Lord in prayer. I said Lord you came to me and spoke to me that it was Jezebel so Lord it is my desire to know more about Jezebel so that I may have your wisdom. I said Lord do NOT allow me to be consumed by evil spirits through my studying of Jezebel but make it known to me the methods, whiles and schemes of the devil.

I would like to give testimony about Jezebel and testing the spirits. When the Lord told me I was free to go I submitted my withdraw papers to leave at the end of the quarter which was just about 2 weeks remaining before the Christmas break. The pastor that was my instructor was a female who was also a Jezebel and my primary attacker. Having revelation from the Lord’s encounter and constant spiritual battles. While in class this same woman pastor (Jezebel) came to my class in an attempt to ridicule me. She walked in and interrupted the class and spoke over the class directly to me and said you have a meeting with me tomorrow at 1 pm in a very confrontational manner which everyone knew was a form of discipline. When I went to see her in a one on one meeting she was attempting to review my classwork in disguise but it was a confrontation of submission to her demonic authority. So I “tested the spirit”. I said where should a person be spiritually by the end of their first year of attendance in school. Where do you see me know and what do I need to improve on to complete my first year. I was “baiting the hook”. This is the reply I received as she spoke. “Can I be perfectly honest with you”. I said certainly. “She said a person should have a close relationship with the Lord and be growing in the Lord”. “She continued: You need to work on your pride, arrogance and obedience developing humility”. I smiled, laughed and said you really ought to get to know me as I am a good person.

I could see in her eyes the spirits of hatred and murder! She was so mad and trying so hard to control her manifestations. I walked out. She scheduled a meeting with the dean of the school for all three of us. When I attended the meeting the dean said well I have read your student application and it would appear that you may have a calling but you will never be established in ministry without this school as we are able to establish you! Immediately my spirit was taken to the encounter with Jesus and Satan in the wilderness and I received divine revelation. I responded to both of them. I see what is going on here as you call me arrogant and prideful but what I have is confidence in Christ Jesus and I do not need your school as I have all sufficiency in Christ Jesus which I had prior to coming here. I had everything I needed before coming here!

You see Satan will accuse you of WHAT IS IN HIM! Satan is the accuser of the brethren and they were trying to get me to bow to Satan! ALL THIS CAN BE YOURS IF YOU BOW BEFORE ME! That is exactly what Satan spoke to Jesus. Also did Jesus ever ask if he could be truthful? You have to be kidding me! In my private meeting with Jezebel when I tested the spirit her first reply was “Can I be perfectly honest”. Which in the Holy Spirit I received and heard “Can I speak lies that you will believe”! Why would a Christian filled with the Holy Spirit not be honest already! There is no darkness in Christ Jesus so why the lies of accusation towards me! We are called to speak in Spirit and Truth because Spirit and Truth dwells within us! I needed to share this testimony before concluding my posting. So as I conclude I want you to read what the Lord spoke to me a couple weeks after leaving that international ministry school.

The Lord by the unction of the Holy Spirit spoke to me as I meditated on my experiences of the Lord while at that ministry school and the Lord spoke Deuteronomy chapter 13. I want to give you one last suggestion. Whatever you go through all things work out for the pleasure of the Lord so any experiences like this are meant to grow you not to destroy you. So reflect, meditate and seek the Lord on every experience. What is the Lord showing, revealing, strengthening you of, delivering you from, etc. so you can get revelation not head knowledge. Head knowledge dissipates in time when you do not perform or those actions or thoughts in a reoccurring timely manner. Revelations of Christ are eternal forever a part of your spiritual growth. That is exactly what Jesus told the disciples that the Comforter must come to bring all of His teaching back to their remembrance and to give them greater revelations they were not ready to receive. Without continual spiritual revelations of Truth you are not growing Spiritually. That is why I write from my heart and that is why I say everything that is written in the Word of God is actual living experiences and we will in our journey experience everything contained in the Word of God whether in the physical and/or spiritual.

I was not at the scourging post of Christ in the natural but I was taken there in the spiritual to get a great revelation of the Grace of God! This happened in one of my meditation times with the Lord as I was meditating on my life in Christ Jesus thanking Jesus for His grace. How many of us could endure in the physical what Jesus sustained torture Jesus endured without the Father POURING out HIS GRACE! Without grace I would have had enough before the cross and wanted to die! It was by the FATHERS GRACE THAT THE SON ENDURED THE CROSS! It is by the grace of Jesus that the cross of Christ Jesus may do a work within us rendering a pure and holy image and likeness of Christ Jesus.

The Lord replied in the spirit Deuteronomy chapter 13. So in closing I will share what the Lord spoke with Deuteronomy 13.

Deuteronomy 13:1–18 (NKJV)

Punishment of Apostates

13 “If there arises among you a prophet or a dreamer of dreams, and he gives you a sign or a wonder, 2 and the sign or the wonder comes to pass, of which he spoke to you, saying, ‘Let us go after other gods’—which you have not known—‘and let us serve them,’ 3 you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams, for the Lord your God is testing you to know whether you love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul. 4 You shall walk after the Lord your God and fear Him, and keep His commandments and obey His voice; you shall serve Him and hold fast to Him. 5 But that prophet or that dreamer of dreams shall be put to death, because he has spoken in order to turn you away from the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt and redeemed you from the house of bondage, to entice you from the way in which the Lord your God commanded you to walk. So you shall put away the evil from your midst.

6 “If your brother, the son of your mother, your son or your daughter, the wife of your bosom, or your friend who is as your own soul, secretly entices you, saying, ‘Let us go and serve other gods,’ which you have not known, neither you nor your fathers, 7 of the gods of the people which are all around you, near to you or far off from you, from one end of the earth to the other end of the earth, 8 you shall not consent to him or listen to him, nor shall your eye pity him, nor shall you spare him or conceal him; 9 but you shall surely kill him; your hand shall be first against him to put him to death, and afterward the hand of all the people. 10 And you shall stone him with stones until he dies, because he sought to entice you away from the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage. 11 So all Israel shall hear and fear, and not again do such wickedness as this among you.

12 “If you hear someone in one of your cities, which the Lord your God gives you to dwell in, saying, 13 ‘Corrupt men have gone out from among you and enticed the inhabitants of their city, saying, “Let us go and serve other gods” ’—which you have not known—14 then you shall inquire, search out, and ask diligently. And if it is indeed true and certain that such an abomination was committed among you, 15 you shall surely strike the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying it, all that is in it and its livestock—with the edge of the sword. 16 And you shall gather all its plunder into the middle of the street, and completely burn with fire the city and all its plunder, for the Lord your God. It shall be a heap forever; it shall not be built again. 17 So none of the accursed things shall remain in your hand, that the Lord may turn from the fierceness of His anger and show you mercy, have compassion on you and multiply you, just as He swore to your fathers, 18 because you have listened to the voice of the Lord your God, to keep all His commandments which I command you today, to do what is right in the eyes of the Lord your God.

I want you to realize that I had only been saved 8 months when I registered for ministry school and I had numerous encounters with the Lord prior to registering for ministry school. Some encounters I was taken to the third heaven and some encounters while on earth. I even had one close Christian friend witness and outer body experience I was having who later turned against me. If you desire Christ and earnestly seek the Lord you will experience your own Patmos Island as you will have Christ and Christ alone.

When you reach a point in your spiritual journey you will understand there are two types of prodical sons. One is your personal turning away from God the other is the Church you attend denying Christ in you! So you end up on a spiritual island of Patmos! So when a Christian says the Lord will never leave you or forsake you they speak it as a punchline and not true Spiritual revelation of being forsaken by the Leodicean Church! A true man of God walks alone with God because all who forsake the Living God will forsake the true man of God. This is a very harsh reality but spiritual truth. That is why the apostles and prophets were martyred preaching the GOOD NEWS OF SALVATION. Imagine killing messengers of good! What do we see today with all of the killing everywhere. Here is the testimony of my friend witnessing my outer body experience when I was caught up to the third heaven to be with the Lord. Remember there is a difference between praise and true worship! That is why many do not have these experiences as they do not comprehend the difference! What did Jesus tell the woman at the well!

John 4:23–24 (NKJV)

23 But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. 24 God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

My friend and I both loved the fall scenery and in northern New England the fall foliage is really pretty. We had gone out into the woods to a nice stream. My friend likes to take pictures as he was (past tense as he walked away as a friend) a photography buff. I love to worship the Lord so I had my Apple Ipod and earbuds and worshiped the Lord. During my worship I was taken to the third heaven with the Lord in the Spirit. During my time with the Lord unknown to me there was a women a distance off walking and approaching on the path to my direction. My friend unknowing to me was watching me from a similar distance and was observing me. I IMMEDIATELY CAME OUT OF THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD AND WAS BACK IN MY PHYSICAL BODY AND TURNED LOOKING DOWN THE PATH AT THE WOMAN APPROACHING. When we got in the car to leave he said the Lord revealed something to him about me. I said feel free to share. He said when I looked at you it was if your body was there as I could see your body but it’s like you yourself were not there. I said you are correct I was with the Lord in the third heaven. He then asked how did you know that woman was approaching. I said very easily. Intimacy is between two not a multitude! So she was NOT ALLOWED to enter my intimacy with the Lord! That is why I came back to my physical body! In the Spirit even though I was in the third heaven with Jesus I was aware of my surroundings by the Spirit!

While you may question this there are numerous scriptures to back this up. One is the woman who touch Jesus robe. She did not touch Jesus and Jesus said “who drew from me”. You see virtue was released! How is it Paul had his encounter on the road to Damasus and the others did not see Jesus? How is it Phillip was translated to minister to the Etheopian? How is even our prayers as individual saints are each unique and distinguished as individuals in the nostrils or the Lord Jesus? Do not be deceived by corporate worship trying to get you in the presence of God as each of us is an individual. When you partake of corporate worship too often it is sensual. In one instance as I was worshiping in corporate worship at a church I had a Jezebel come stand next to me as I was in the end of the row on the isle side. Jezebel kept stamping her feet like a bull attempting to get me out of the presence of the Lord!

I share this NOT from pride but from revelations that most Christians do not understand. The incarnate Christ was both human and divine. Thus being a new creation in Christ by being born again we too occupy two realms simultaneously. We occupy the earth physically but spiritually we dwell with Christ seated at the right hand of the Father! This is how we know what the Father is doing, by the Spirit. This is how we learn to walk in the Spirit!

So this leads me to the pre-trib rapture lie! When I was at a bible study which two pastors were going through the book of Revelations one pastor spoke and said we need to tell people about events in the book of Revelations so they will be saved and won’t go through these things written in Revelations and be taken in the pre-trib rapture. I spoke so all of the people could hear. That is not the gospel of salvation! I said preaching the pre-trib rapture is a lie as I have already been raptured! I got the deaf and dumb looks towards me in doubt so I said I am seated in heavenly placed through Christ Jesus and I am at the right hand of the Father in Christ Jesus. I have already been raptured because I am in this world but not of this world!

That is why I debunked and wrote about the lies of the Babylonian doctrine of demons regarding the pre-trib rapture. People that believe and embrace the pre-trib rapture are very likely not born again, deceived or have fallen away in the apostasy. The whole concept of the Babylonian tower was to ascend to heaven making yourself as god! Is that not the spirit of Antichrist and the profession of statement Lucifer spoke. I WILL ASCEND! The reason for the pre-trib rapture is because they DO NOT HAVE A LIVING TESTIMONY OF CHRIST JESUS WHICH IS REQUIRED AT THE END OF THE AGE! THEY WILL DENY CHRIST SO THEIR HEARTS ARE ALREADY ALIGNED WITH THE SPIRIT OF THIS AGE! YOU DO NOT ASSOCIATE WITH YOUR ENEMIES SO THE SPIRIT OF THE AGE IS THEIR FRIEND. A true Christian has a friend that is closer than a brother!

John 15:13–15 (NKJV)

13 Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends. 14 You are My friends if you do whatever I command you. 15 No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you.

In all of my writings and postings you will observe this one simple principle if you pay close attention. I could just post a scripture online but I normally tell you from my heart what that scripture has done for me personally or how it affects a saint personally! The devil knows the Word of God but the devil will not expound or reveal truth about the scripture as he presents it manipulated, twisted and out of context. The devil will appear to speak in Spirit and Truth by reading the word but the devil can NEVER BECOME THE LIVING WORD which is what the devil wants! The true distinction is are they writing/reciting from the heart or head knowledge! If they do not write from the heart then it is likely they only know what is written and NOT THE PERSON OF CHRIST JESUS. If there only/last testimony is there salvation where is the working of the Holy Spirit within their heart as they have NO new revelation of the PERSON OF CHRIST JESUS. So while I may only intend to write one chapter in my postings I end up with a sermon and a longer post because when you are in the Spirit the Lord is limitless! All things pertaining to a life in Christ are eternal they have no END! The heart is the witness of true conversion and not merely the words someone speaks, reads or writes!

When I first got saved there was a man from India who was a Christian. He would put postings online that I would read and reply openly on his postings. After about a week of doing this he messaged me privately. His name was Thampi Joseph. I believe that was it or it was Joseph Thampi. Either way he messaged me and said to me brother Glen I truly appreciate your replies to my posting that edify my followers. I replied brother Thampi I meditate on what you post and write what it means in my heart and then write from my heart what it means on your postings. He replied a week later and said brother the Lord has His hands upon you. I will send people to you online through messenger to minister too. I sent monies to him for bibles as he led people to the Lord. You see “what is the evidence from your heart” not merely what you speak! You will know them by their fruit. What is the parable of the sowing of seed!

I will close for now but once again I must say this. I am not bragging or boasting as my desire is to reveal Christ and NOTHING OF ME. That is exactly what Jesus said to Satan in the wilderness. That is the same prayer I prayed when I got saved in 2010years. Lord I want to be able to say to Satan: YOU HAVE NOTHING IN ME! I would then pray John 1:1 Lord your Spirit dwells within me and the Word became flesh Lord be it in me as it was in you! Consume this flesh so I may reveal you! If you do not know Jesus in the Spirit you do not know Jesus at all because Jesus is no longer of the flesh Himself.

2 Corinthians 5:16 (NKJV)

16 Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer.

Romans 8:14–17 (NKJV)

14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. 15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” 16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 17 and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.

Hebrews 6:1–8 (NKJV)

The Peril of Not Progressing

6 Therefore, leaving the discussion of the elementary principles of Christ, let us go on to perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, 2 of the doctrine of baptisms, of laying on of hands, of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. 3 And this we will do if God permits.

4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, 5 and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, 6 if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame.

7 For the earth which drinks in the rain that often comes upon it, and bears herbs useful for those by whom it is cultivated, receives blessing from God; 8 but if it bears thorns and briers, it is rejected and near to being cursed, whose end is to be burned.

I pray that you might be encourage by this post to pursue the fullness of what Christ Jesus has called you to and may the fullness of Christ dwell richly within you. Do NOT become the Laodicean Church! Stay on fire for the Lord!

MYSTERY BABYLON DIGUISED AS THE PRE-TRIBULATION RAPTURE

MYSTERY BABYLON DISGUISED AS THE PRE-TRIBULATION RAPTURE

(PART 3 OF MY SERIES OF WRITINGS)

As with any posting from anyone I do my best to try to communicate what is on my heart the best that I can. Please take all matters to the Lord in prayer. It is NOT my will that anyone be deceived. The enemy is after all of us, including me! I pray the Holy Spirit bears witness to all of you. If not then it could be for a different time in your walk with the Lord. DO NOT ACCEPT WHAT THE HOLY SPIRIT DOES NOT REVEAL BUT PRAY INTO IT. God bless the saints of the Lord and may the fullness of His love and spirit dwell and manifest richly within you.

I had created a Facebook post with just a short message however the Lord showed me as I awakened this morning and immediately saw in a vision how my Facebook post spiritually applied to the pre-tribulation rapture doctrine as Mystery Babylon and the Antichrist Spirit. I have already written two postings on my blog www.abidingbread.com about the pre-trib rapture and this is the third and perhaps the final part.

These wolves in sheep’s clothing who preach the Pre-Trib Rapture are of the Antichrist. Please ready my first two postings as I believe this is the final posting which will wrap it up. The three postings combined is nearly three days of writing and three weeks of constant meditation with the Lord writing what Jesus put upon me in Spirit and Truth. When I was talking with my mom about the Lord the other day I asked her if she knew/reflected on who was the first preacher for the Lord, IT WAS ADAM!

Here is my early morning post on Facebook from 3 am:

It was Adam that gave Eve the Word of God not to partake of the forbidden fruit. The woman did not take heed to her husband and submit to her husband. When Eve fell Adam had not yet fallen so they were “unequally yoked spiritually”. This is why when the consummation of marriage or fornication happens the two become one not only naturally but spiritually! Everything natural and spiritual become one!

1 Corinthians 6:17–18 (NKJV)

17 But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him.

18 Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.

When you join with a sexual partner you become one in the spirit so whatever spirits the other person has come upon you! You are either ONE WITH CHRIST OR ONE WITH ANTICHRIST!

Matthew 6:23 (NKJV)

23 But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!

Matthew 5:28 (NKJV)

28 But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

It was Adam who refused the Word of God, Adam refused God Himself and partook of the forbidden fruit! Before Eve, Adam was in complete submission and obedience to the Word of God!

This is why Jesus came not as peace but to divide spiritually. Jesus told us a kingdom divided can not stand. Jesus is referring to a “spiritual kingdom” and that is why Jesus says come out and be separate. This also refers to the church assembly, come out from false prophets!

Luke 12:51–53 (NKJV)

51 Do you suppose that I came to give peace on earth? I tell you, not at all, but rather division. 52 For from now on five in one house will be divided: three against two, and two against three. 53 Father will be divided against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.”

What spiritual world movements have evolved by and through these actions! Think both male and female spiritual corruptions!

Where did the metaphor “happy wife, happy life” originate: The Garden!

Where did the women’s liberation movement originate: The Garden!

SPIRITUAL EVIL RENDERS CONTINUED AND INCREASED SPIRITUAL EVIL!

Today so called educated people can’t even define what a male or female is! THIS IS PART OF THE LAWLESSNESS OF THE GREAT APOSTASY! DENYING THE LAW OF CREATION IS LAWLESSNESS!

Now I will expound on what I awakened to this morning with the vision upon awakening the Lord gave me the vision of the Tower of Babylon.

It was Adam that gave Eve the Word of God (making Adam a preacher of righteousness, does sound familiar to Noah and the days of Noah) not to partake of the forbidden fruit. The woman did not take heed to her husband (Jesus is our Bridegroom/Husband) and submit to her husband. When Eve fell Adam had not yet fallen so they were “unequally yoked spiritually”

Adam was still in the image and likeness of the Lord Jesus in Spirit and Truth. This is why when the consummation of marriage or fornication happens the two become one not only naturally but spiritually! Everything natural and spiritual become one! Because everything is created by Spirit even the trees and fruit are spirit. The tree of the knowledge of good and evil was created in the image and likeness of Satan and the spirit of Satan because just as the Lord Jesus knew humanity would fall the Lord also knew Satan would fall. You don’t just take upon the nature of Satan you take upon you the spirit of Satan by LIES! Satan is the father of lies and deceit! The pre-trib rapture is the doctrine of Mystery Babylon and the devil! Yes it is of the devil trying to ascend to heaven WITHOUT CHRIST JESUS. If you are trying to ascend to heaven without Christ Jesus you do not belong to Christ Jesus! The devil said “I WILL ASCEND” “I WILL BE THE MOST HIGH”. It is a blatant lie and those who partake of this lie are partaking in the tree of the knowledge of good and evil! Your pastor is teaching doctrines of demons! They are ambassadors of Satan masquerading as ministers of righteousness. They are spiritually dead to Christ Jesus but have an outward form/appearance but deny the cross of Christ for salvation! They have a form of godliness but deny the power of God! The cross of Christ is to be applied to our life not just heard or seen as if you were alive at the time of the incarnate Christ Jesus. When you deny the cross you deny Christ!

2 Timothy 3:5–7 (NKJV)

5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! 6 For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, 7 always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

When you read above the word women we know that woman refers to the bride so women refers to the brethren! Knowing this scripture clearly tells us there are two types of brethren as there are only two kingdoms.

Revelation 2:9 (NKJV)

9 “I know your works, tribulation, and poverty (but you are rich); and I know the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.

Revelation 3:9–10 (NKJV)

9 Indeed I will make those of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews and are not, but lie—indeed I will make them come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you. 10 Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.

Isaiah 14:12–21 (NKJV)

The Fall of Lucifer

12 “How you are fallen from heaven,

O Lucifer, son of the morning!

How you are cut down to the ground,

You who weakened the nations!

13 For you have said in your heart:

‘I will ascend into heaven,

I will exalt my throne above the stars of God;

I will also sit on the mount of the congregation

On the farthest sides of the north;

14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds,

I will be like the Most High.’

15 Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol,

To the lowest depths of the Pit.

16 “Those who see you will gaze at you,

And consider you, saying:

‘Is this the man who made the earth tremble,

Who shook kingdoms,

17 Who made the world as a wilderness

And destroyed its cities,

Who did not open the house of his prisoners?’

18 “All the kings of the nations,

All of them, sleep in glory,

Everyone in his own house;

19 But you are cast out of your grave

Like an abominable branch,

Like the garment of those who are slain,

Thrust through with a sword,

Who go down to the stones of the pit,

Like a corpse trodden underfoot.

20 You will not be joined with them in burial,

Because you have destroyed your land

And slain your people.

The brood of evildoers shall never be named.

21 Prepare slaughter for his children

Because of the iniquity of their fathers,

Lest they rise up and possess the land,

And fill the face of the world with cities.”

The Lord Jesus was protecting us from death which is the spirit of the devil known today as Antichrist, spirit of the age, etc. When you partake of the lie or “fruit/seeds” of the lie you are partaking of the Antichrist and become as he is even all the way back to the garden! This is why when Jesus spoke in confrontation to the Pharisees he told them they were responsible and accountable for the blood of Able all the way to the time Jesus was standing before them and forevermore! If that is the case who is responsible since then? In my posting about Jesus verses the Pharisees I expound on that so I will briefly say that the teaching of the Pharisees is fulfilling it’s great commission just as the times of the incarnate Christ Jesus!

Have you ever wondered about GMO food and the altering of the food is altering the spirit of how it was created! Who wants to destroy all of creation, it is Satan! This is the same with COVID 19 as the vaccine is designed to alter our genetic/created DNA!

When you fall from Christ Jesus you fall “into” something you are not just merely lost! You fall into the spirit of Antichrist just as Adam and Eve!

The forbidden fruit was spiritual and when you partake of the forbidden fruit you partake of the spirit of that fruit! The fruit was “seed” that is the parable of the “seed” is written what grows from that “seed” either wheat or tares and the whole world is sown together. There is much evil in this world because of that “seed”. Once again the tree of the knowledge of good and evil was made in the image and likeness of Satan! YOU WILL KNOW A TREE BY IT’S FRUIT WHICH IS IMAGE AND LIKENESS! AGAIN THE TREE OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL WAS CREATED IN THE IMAGE AND LIKENESS OF SATAN!

Isaiah 54:16–17 (NKJV)

16 “Behold, I have created the blacksmith

Who blows the coals in the fire,

Who brings forth an instrument for his work;

And I have created the spoiler to destroy.

17 No weapon formed against you shall prosper,

And every tongue which rises against you in judgment

You shall condemn.

This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,

And their righteousness is from Me,”

Says the Lord.

The Lord created the “spoiler” who is the devil who comes to kill, steal and destroy but in line 17 if you are in Christ Jesus the spoiler is cast down because of the imputed righteousness of Christ placed in us through salvation AND being born again in Christ Jesus by HIS SPIRIT.

Please understand there is “spiritual adultery” before the physical/natural manifestation of that “spiritual adultery”. Just as if you look at a woman with lustful thoughts in your heart (this indicates the thought has taken root) as Jesus spoke you have already committed adultery. Did you cast down that thought or did you act upon it? Hence you will know them by their fruit which is an outward manifestation of the spirit within them as Galatians 5 tells us. It is only by the power of the Holy Spirit and walking in the Spirit that you can discern physical works from spiritual works that is why they have an outward appearance of holiness but deny the power of personal sanctification and holiness.

There are many international ministries which help with natural provisions but not Spiritual food in Christ Jesus even though they are ministries not of Christ Jesus. That is a ministry of works and an outward appearance of godliness but denying the power of God and are NOT OF THE LORD JESUS. This is why I get HUNDREDS of messages seeking assistance for food, money, etc. because many use legalism/works disguised as being spiritual fruit.

They say that if you were a Christian you would help the brethren in need, the Holy Spirit freely gives but when requested in the form of legalism masquerading as spiritual this is different. That is why the Lord must be your provider! We must be wise as the serpent and as gentle as the dove. Do not assume because the wheat and tares are together until the harvest and just because the wheat and tares are together doesn’t mean the tares are your brethren!

A Christian must be able to discern where that individual is spiritually. Is the hardship they are enduring the will of God to bring them to repentance? If so by you enabling them by provision will keep them from repentance. Think of what happened to Joseph and how the people were suffering famine (the will of God) because of rebellion and called to be humbled. When they went to Joseph it was not just about provision but a turning back to the Lord as Joseph was serving the Lord! It was the Lord who ALLOWED the division among Joseph family as the devil can do NOTHING that the Lord will not allow!

The Lord does not perform evil Himself, humanity through the influences of the Satan does that for Him. This is why unforgiveness and bitterness is the pathway to evil possession and self vengeance! Satan doesn’t know that he is a string puppet He believes he is God Almighty. It is the falling away from Christ Jesus through the professing church of Christ that has allowed this world to become what it is now and the STANDARD OF CHRIST will be resurrected again at the coming of the Lord just as what happened in Israel when they refused the incarnate Christ Jesus.

Because of the great apostasy and falling away by the church the world is what it has become! The church was called to be the “restrainer” by the power of the Holy Spirit and the “restrainer” is being removed by every saint that falls away from Christ Jesus. That is why Jesus stated when He returns will He find “THE FAITH”. If the days were not shortened no man would be alive, let us not forget it is the Spirit that gives life!

We must also discern the seeds/words which any person speaks or writes as life and death is in the power of the tongue! Any written word is empowered by the spirit that is within that person! The serpent has a split tongue which is why the serpent mixes truth with lies! Think of Satan tempting Jesus with Psalm 91!

Don’t confuse the outward physical presentation with what which is of the spirit as these people give an outward appearance but are not of Christ Jesus. I have had many professing Christians tell me I don’t understand them or their views or I have a different “interpretation”, exegesis and this is witchcraft, yes witchcraft! “Surely God has not said you will die”. They try to get you to believe their false truths which are lies by telling you that you do not understand! God is NOT the author of confusion and confusion leads to submission! We must hunger and thirst for the righteousness of Christ Jesus so we an be filled with His righteousness! We must discern IN THE SPIRIT NOT from flesh which is SPIRITUAL DISCERNMENT. As I am writing this the Lord is showing me again the mark of the beast which I revealed in my blog post: https://abidingbread.com/2025/12/02/david-vs-goliath-the-mark-of-the-beast/ which I recommend you read.

1 Corinthians 6:17–18 (NKJV)

17 But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him.

18 Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.

When you join with a sexual partner you become one in the spirit so whatever spirits the other person has come upon you! You are either ONE WITH CHRIST OR ONE WITH ANTICHRIST! I could give testimony of children who are born from rape victims suffer from the spiritual act of rape because of the transference of spirits through the act of rape. The Lord has had me cast out these spirits so I know personally by revelation. Why is the church today not casting out demons. I’ll tell you why because Jesus told us. A house divided can not stand and Satan will not cast out Satan. That being said are you in the house/church of God or the house/church of Satan?

Matthew 6:23 (NKJV)

23 But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!

Matthew 5:28 (NKJV)

28 But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

It was Adam who refused the Word of God, Adam refused God Himself and partook of the forbidden fruit! Before Eve, Adam was in complete submission and obedience to the Word of God!  Adam freely chose Eve over Jesus as Adam was not deceived.  Adam loved Eve more than God and did not want to be lonely. Spiritual loneliness is an opening doorway for the spirit of lust which masquerades of love!

Genesis 2:18 (NKJV)

18 And the Lord God said, “It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him.”

This is why Jesus came not as peace but to divide spiritually. Jesus told us a kingdom divided can not stand. Jesus is referring to a “spiritual kingdom” and that is why Jesus says come out and be separate. This also refers to the church assembly, come out from false prophets!

Luke 12:51–53 (NKJV)

51 Do you suppose that I came to give peace on earth? I tell you, not at all, but rather division. 52 For from now on five in one house will be divided: three against two, and two against three. 53 Father will be divided against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.”

What spiritual world movements have evolved by and through these actions! Think both male and female spiritual corruptions!

Where did the metaphor “happy wife, happy life” originate: The Garden!

Where did the women’s liberation movement originate: The Garden!

SPIRITUAL EVIL RENDERS CONTINUED AND INCREASED SPIRITUAL EVIL!

Today so called educated people can’t even define what a male or female is! THIS IS PART OF THE LAWLESSNESS OF THE GREAT APOSTASY! DENYING THE LAW OF CREATION IS LAWLESSNESS!

After writing this post at 3 am on Facebook I tried to get back to sleep and only slept an hour and when I awakened the Lord flashed the tower of Babel into my mind and the Holy Spirit then had me reflect on not only what I stated above but from my previous two postings regarding the Pre-Trib Rapture and how that is the doctrine of Babylon.

You are trying to get to heaven WITHOUT CHRIST JESUS! JUST AS SATAN/LUCIFER SAID “I WILL ASCEND”! JESUS CALLS THE HARLOT CHURCH MYSTERY BABYLON!

Now as you have read what I stated above with partaking of the forbidden fruit as well as ADAM being the first preacher of righteousness EVE fell because she did not submit to her husband who was in right standing spiritually and Adam did not submit to Christ Jesus by partaking the forbidden fruit from EVE.  Adam loved Eve more than God.  How do we know this is because Adam never partook of that tree before Eve so the fruit was not the issue.  Adam was unwilling to be separated from Eve!  Just as professing Christians are unwilling to be separated from the Harlot Church of false prophets and spirit of Antichrist.  They chose to validate the lies by they themselves twisting scriptures for their own pride and pleasure just as their false prophet has taught them!  If an individual hungers and thirst for Christ Jesus and seeks ONLY Christ Jesus they would not be deceived so easily.  This is why in many of my previous post I expound by saying “who taught the disciples” as it was Jesus.  What has changed?  A false prophet creates other false prophets!  If you are not taught by Spirit and Truth what are you preaching?

When a preacher preaches the Pre-Trib Rapture THAT IS FORBIDDEN FRUIT FROM BABYLON JUST AS THE TREE OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL as I literally saw the Tower of Babylon the Lord had placed in my mind and Spirit! You have partaken of the tree of knowledge of good and evil which was a tree in the likeness and image of Satan! Satan gets you to partake in himself becoming as Satan is! Yet you live in the same deception that surely you won’t die! Talk about being cunning!

Please read my previous posts part one: https://abidingbread.com/2026/01/08/the-unbelief-of-the-pre-tribulation-rapture/

Part two: https://abidingbread.com/2026/01/10/the-unbelief-of-the-pre-tribulation-falling-away-from-grace/

If your pastor is preaching this false doctrine of the pre-trib rapture or the brethren is preaching it to others they are of Babylon not Christ Jesus and are deceived just as Eve was deceived by partaking of the forbidden fruit. That is enmity between the seed of the woman/the body and bride of Christ Jesus and the serpent the devil Lucifer!

This explains why every time I hear this doctrine of the pre-tribulation rapture WHICH IS RAMPANT IN THE CHURCH PULPITS, ONLINE MINISTRY BY WORLD KNOWN FALSE PROPHETS AND PREACHERS I WANT TO VOMIT. It is because it is the Spirit of Antichrist and my spirit of the Living God within me is enmity with Satan!

Genesis 3:14–24 (NKJV)

14 So the Lord God said to the serpent:

“Because you have done this,

You are cursed more than all cattle,

And more than every beast of the field;

On your belly you shall go,

And you shall eat dust

All the days of your life.

15 And I will put enmity

Between you and the woman,

And between your seed and her Seed;

He shall bruise your head,

And you shall bruise His heel.”

16 To the woman He said:

“I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception;

In pain you shall bring forth children;

Your desire shall be for your husband,

And he shall rule over you.”

This is why in my previous post about the pre-tribulation rapture I revealed that by adding this doctrine what you try to escape you actually condemn yourself to be inflicted to, as “whoever adds to the Word of God shall suffer the plagues written in this Book. REVELATION 22:18-19

17 Then to Adam He said, “Because you have heeded the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree of which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat of it’:

“Cursed is the ground for your sake;

In toil you shall eat of it

All the days of your life.

18 Both thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you,

And you shall eat the herb of the field.

19 In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread

Till you return to the ground,

For out of it you were taken;

For dust you are,

And to dust you shall return.”

DUST HAS NO LIFE AS THE BREATH OF LIFE CHRIST JESUS IS NOT IN ADAM! THE SPIRIT IS NOT INDWELLING!

20 And Adam called his wife’s name Eve, because she was the mother of all living.

21 Also for Adam and his wife the Lord God made tunics of skin, and clothed them.

22 Then the Lord God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of Us, to know good and evil. And now, lest he put out his hand and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever”—23 therefore the Lord God sent him out of the garden of Eden to till the ground from which he was taken. 24 So He drove out the man; and He placed cherubim at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life.

2 Corinthians 11:3–4 (NKJV)

3 But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. 4 For if he who comes preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or if you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted—you may well put up with it!

As I wrote in my previous post if what I am revealing in Spirit and Truth to you witnesses to you please, you must repent to the Lord seeking His mercy, forgiveness just like David in Psalm 51. I urge you to read Psalm 51 and the lamentation of David who was a man after God’s own heart! If this does NOT bare witness in the Spirit of the Lord Jesus well perhaps you have been given over to the Spirit of Delusion and already fallen from Grace as my previous postings expounds on.

I hope this posting has given you revelations of Spirit and Truth and provoked you to come out of Mystery Babylon the Harlot Church and be separate unto the Lord Jesus.

THE UNBELIEF OF THE PRE-TRIBULATION & FALLING AWAY FROM GRACE

/1 Comment/in , , , , , , , , /by

THE UNBELIEF OF THE PRE-TRIBULATION & FALLING AWAY FROM THE GRACE OF THE LORD JESUS

As with any posting from anyone I do my best to try to communicate what is on my heart the best that I can. Please take all matters to the Lord in prayer. It is NOT my will that anyone be deceived. The enemy is after all of us, including me! I pray the Holy Spirit bears witness to all of you. If not then it could be for a different time in your walk with the Lord. DO NOT ACCEPT WHAT THE HOLY SPIRIT DOES NOT REVEAL BUT PRAY INTO IT. God bless the saints of the Lord and may the fullness of His love and spirit dwell and manifest richly within you.

It is imperative that you read my previous post regarding the unbelief of the pre-tribulation rapture so this brief post will expound more spiritual truth and revelations of the Lord Jesus.

I will start with this scripture for you as a foundational principle for relating to what I am expounding on. We all have read this scripture but may not truly see the magnitude and spiritual impact of this because we misplace or misunderstand and “limit” the grace of Jesus by UNBELIEF and/or lack of personal revelations of Spirit and Truth! Remember it is impossible to please God with UNBELIEF. I will put commentary between the lines of scripture as I expound on this. Please read my previous post first or this will not make sense to you as it is a continuance from my post found here: https://abidingbread.com/2026/01/08/the-unbelief-of-the-pre-tribulation-rapture/

Let us review the following Chapter of Scripture:

2 Corinthians 12 (NKJV)

The Vision of Paradise

12 It is doubtless not profitable for me to boast. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord: 2 I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago—whether in the body I do not know, or whether out of the body I do not know, God knows—such a one was caught up to the third heaven. 3 And I know such a man—whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows—4 how he was caught up into Paradise and heard inexpressible words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter. 5 Of such a one I will boast; yet of myself I will not boast, except in my infirmities. 6 For though I might desire to boast, I will not be a fool; for I will speak the truth. But I refrain, lest anyone should think of me above what he sees me to be or hears from me.

In line one Paul is stating that without a doubt that he is not boasting in his calling, gifting or appointment to be and Apostle. What do we witness first hand in today’s modern “churchianity” nothing but boasting, self appointed offices of five fold ministry and self proclaimed gifting and teachings. This is an external boasting of the flesh and not necessarily a true witness in the Spirit of God our Lord Christ Jesus. Why won’t a TRULY CALLED minister of Christ use a title and why didn’t Paul exalt a title by this statement. Because Paul was revealing Christ not Paul the Apostle. Why did Moses hide the glory on his face it was not out of shame of being with God it was humility among the people who he was representing. You either know a person by the Spirit or you don’t truly know them at all this is the first principle of deception and spiritual discernment.

Please bear in mind that the devil comes to kill, steal and destroy! As that is imperative regarding my previous post about The Unbelief Of the Pre-Tribulation Rapture and this posting as well.

The Thorn in the Flesh

7 And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I be exalted above measure. 8 Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me. 9 And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

Now the main point I want to focus on is this. Paul was NOT talking about something internal within himself but something external coming and attacking him personally? Too many people have a very limited view of Grace ONLY rendering salvation and not in the manner of keeping you from the influences of demonic forces and overcoming the afflictions of darkness. Just reflect on the lives of the prophets and apostles being stoned, whipped, ship wrecked, imprisoned, boiled in oil, etc and yet the GRACE OF THE LORD JESUS SUSTAINED THEM THROUGH IT ALL! This is why the pre-tribulation doctrine is a falling away from GRACE by UNBELIEF and when you fall away from GRACE you are no longer sustained or grow in Christ Jesus. Their love for Jesus is waxing cold or has waxed cold no longer believing in the Grace of Christ Jesus. Think of this, why do people preach that the pre-tribulation happens before the Antichrist arrives? It is because they won’t have to make PUBLIC declaration or confession that Christ Jesus is Lord and they do not have to become a living testimony and sacrifice for Christ Jesus.

2 Thessalonians 2:9–12 (NKJV)

9 The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, 10 and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, 12 that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Revelation 12:11 (NKJV)

11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.

If we are saved by Grace and you fall from Grace are you still saved? The once saved always saved is from the pit of hell! Have these people believing these false teaching and preachers already received the spirit of delusion because they did not love the truth? Do they still belong to Christ or have they fallen from grace? That is between them and the Lord but they could be deceived or they could be under a spirit of delusion. Each of them will have to pray and seek the Lord, I can not attest to their fate I am merely exposing in Spirit and Truth the damning heresy of the pre-trib rapture. If your spirit bares witness with this posting then you have not received the spirit of delusion and can repent if it’s not baring witness I am left somewhat speechless as I wish all would come to the Lord in the fullness of His Spirit and Truth.

I personally believe given the times and hour we live in that many indeed have been given over to the spirit of delusion. You might find this statement crude or offensive but if someone can be saved by faith and born again in Spirit and Truth how would the Lord allow these same people to preach for decades preaching lies and deceit? They are deceived by the devil and/or have the spirit of delusion which I believe is what happens to so many. If they are not humble to correction and reproof then they are not deceived they are a wolf in sheep’s clothing! I only say this because of the times we live in and the closeness of the end hour which we live in. This is between each of them and the Lord. They very likely have an outward form of godliness but deny the power of Christ at the same time which is why we must walk in the Holy Spirit and the Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation of Christ Jesus. Personally speaking whenever I hear preaching of the pre-trib rapture I get nauseous like I want to vomit, that is how I feel in my Spirit. This is similar to what the Lord speaks in the book of Revelations.

Galatians 6:1–2 (NKJV)

Bear and Share the Burdens

6 Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted. 2 Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

I am writing this because the Spirit of the Lord put it on my heart, but I am also bearing the burden of the brethren in meekness and prayer. If you have believed in this false doctrine please seek the Lord in prayers of restoration and forgiveness for believing this false doctrine. The Lord knows your heart in this matter and Jesus alone can restore you. I believe if what I write witnesses to your spirit then you are not given over to the spirit of delusion you have been deceived and it is time to repent, seek the Lord for forgiveness and turn away from false doctrines. When the scripture states you who are spiritual it means spirit speaks to spirit. What is spoken must be received in the Spirit of the Lord. We are not talking earthly knowledge, personal belief, teachings of men/women but true revelation of Spirit and Truth spoken in the fruit of the Spirit.

I pray that you may be perfected in the love of Christ Jesus. Yes perfected so you can stand in these last days without fear with complete trust and faith in Christ Jesus alone and the Truth of His Spirit and Word.

1 John 4:18–19 (NKJV)

18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. 19 We love Him because He first loved us.

Salvation is ONLY by/in Christ Jesus and His Spirit and Truth and not by hearing a false prophet and believing in a false prophet. I personally have not found a church in nearly a decade that preaches in Spirit and Truth and when confronted humbly with truth they refuse to receive the Truth of Christ Jesus. I pray you are humble to receive what the Lord is speaking! I will not sit under false teachings, another spirit or another Jesus! Paul NEVER returned to the teaching and ways of the Pharisees yet he prayed for their salvation and coming to the saving grace of Christ Jesus.

Galatians 5:1–9 (NKJV)

Christian Liberty

5 Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage. 2 Indeed I, Paul, say to you that if you become circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing. 3 And I testify again to every man who becomes circumcised that he is a debtor to keep the whole law. 4 You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace. 5 For we through the Spirit eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness by faith. 6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but faith working through love.

Love Fulfills the Law

7 You ran well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth? 8 This persuasion does not come from Him who calls you. 9 A little leaven leavens the whole lump.

I can already here the criticism that these passages only refer to the “law” but it is much more than that! How did you obtain liberty and how were made free? Was it by the law or GRACE? When you fall from Grace you become estranged from Christ and a LITTLE LEAVEN LEAVENS THE WHOLE LUMP! Leaven is false teachings and beliefs.

ESTRANGED: In the Bible, “estranged” means alienated, separated, or kept at a distance, primarily describing humanity’s break from God due to sin, but also referring to broken human relationships and internal spiritual struggles, with the overarching biblical theme being God’s pursuit of reconciliation through Jesus Christ. It signifies losing intimacy and fellowship, as seen in Adam and Eve’s separation from God (Genesis 3) or the spiritual distance caused by disobedience, but the Bible also offers hope for restoration. 

Hebrews 3:12 (NKJV)

12 Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God;

Hebrews 11:6–7 (NKJV)

6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

7 By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.

We must remember in Matthew 24 Jesus told us it will be as in the days of Noah! People would not head the Word of the Lord! It is the very same thing happening even within the assembly of the saints!

What is leaven? It is the root of apostasy/falling away of Spiritual Truth and the Living and Written Word of God! This is the same as the serpent spoke to Eve another “seed/word” and not the “Seed/Word of Truth”, a false word that is NOT of the Lord Jesus. The pre-tribulation is leaven, a damning doctrine of demons similar to the serpent in the garden that you won’t die. The pre-tribulation doctrine is of Satan so you won’t have to die as a living testimony of Christ Jesus and for Christ Jesus! The devil can’t kill someone who has already COMPLETELY DIED IN CHRIST JESUS! You have fallen from Grace by unbelief and/or deception and/or not loving the Truth the very person of Christ Jesus. So in Grace I am revealing to you what the Lord put on my heart according to His Spirit and Truth in the Word of God! With the pre-tribulation what would be the need to keep yourself in the love of God!

Jude 20–25 (NKJV)

Maintain Your Life with God

20 But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, 21 keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

22 And on some have compassion, making a distinction; 23 but others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire, hating even the garment defiled by the flesh.

Glory to God

24 Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling,

And to present you faultless

Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy,

25 To God our Savior,

Who alone is wise,

Be glory and majesty,

Dominion and power,

Both now and forever.

Amen.

If you have read my previous post about the Valley of the Shadow of Death you will understand this better. The Valley of the Shadow of Death is the earth! When Adam and Eve where shut off from access to the Tree of Life because of sin, as sin could not dwell in the Garden which was the habitation of God for fellowship with humanity. So it shall be in heaven and in Christ Jesus “In Him there is NO darkness”. With the access removed and Adam being originally called to establish the earth in the image and likeness of his Creator we now have the earth as the Valley of The Shadow of Death. You see death is a SPIRIT and not merely a location! As saints/brethren of Christ Jesus we are surrounded by people who are physically alive but spiritually dead to Christ Jesus. If they are dead to Christ they are alive to sin and to the god of this world, the devil. We only need to look at the lust of the flesh in Galatians 5 to know this. What we are witnessing today is the rapid acceleration of lawlessness and evil throughout the whole world! Here is the scriptures in reference before I return to Paul in Corinthians.

John 17:15–19 (NKJV)

15 I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one. 16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 17 Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth. 18 As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. 19 And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified by the truth.

NOTE: BELIEVING LIES IS A PART WITHIN YOU NOT BEING SANCTIFIED IN SPIRIT AND TRUTH! This is why we must be led by the Spirit of God casting down all lies, false beliefs and deceptions as well as the doctrines of demons speaking through humanity.

Signs of an Apostle

11 I have become a fool in boasting; you have compelled me. For I ought to have been commended by you; for in nothing was I behind the most eminent apostles, though I am nothing. 12 Truly the signs of an apostle were accomplished among you with all perseverance, in signs and wonders and mighty deeds. 13 For what is it in which you were inferior to other churches, except that I myself was not burdensome to you? Forgive me this wrong!

One of the greatest struggles of a Christian is allowing/submitting to the process of total surrender/crucifixion by the Holy Spirit which INCLUDES surrendering the outcome! Think of Jonah! This is also why each of us is called to the Cross of Christ to die to ourselves so that Christ Jesus may fully dwell and manifest within us.

You may give a Word or Prophecy but did you make it about you, your “title” and your reputation, the praises of men or did you reveal Christ Jesus. Notice it was the people/church which provoked Paul to use His title as Apostle because they would NOT recognize the Spirit and Words of the Lord through Paul!

“Commended” is recognition of who Paul was in Christ. Paul was NOT seeking to be puffed up as he was revealing Christ in Spirit and Truth. When a professing Christian will not allow personal correction of Spirit and Truth this is not humility. It is pride as pride comes before the fall! The doctrine of Pre-Tribulation Rapture is the falling away from GRACE! I will elaborate more as we continue.

Matthew 24:12–13 (NKJV)

12 And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. 13 But he who endures to the end shall be saved.

In further revelations of the false pre-trib rapture we have other scripture to support this. I want you to see how the pre-trib rapture is a false doctrine of the devil actually creating the falling away and great apostasy.

Romans 5:20–21 (NKJV)

20 Moreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more, 21 so that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Notice where sin abounds or lawlessness abounds grace might reign through righteousness! Paul’s thorn was EXTERNAL NOT INTERNAL and the LORD gave HIM GRACE TO OVERCOME! Darkness is sin and people sin against us. This world is full of darkness and GRACE is the power to overcome this darkness. That is what Jesus implied to Paul, His grace was sufficient! People will persecute you because you represent Jesus not because you have wronged anyone! Read Matthew 5 and the Beatitudes! The pre-tribulation is a direct denial of this scripture and a refusal through unbelief of God’s Grace!

Isaiah 59:19 (NKJV)

19 So shall they fear

The name of the Lord from the west,

And His glory from the rising of the sun;

When the enemy comes in like a flood,

The Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him.

That standard is empowered by the Grace of God not in our own ability but in TRUE BELIEVING FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS! You will not receive in/from Christ WITHOUT TRUE FAITH! What you truly see here is astounding not only about GRACE but the life of Paul. Paul was already preaching but needed to grow in this revelation of sustaining and overcoming grace! Remember the road to Damascus and Jesus told the priest that He called Paul to suffer much for the Gospel! Remember Paul stating that he bared the marks of Christ’ sufferings! Paul himself in scripture DID NOT DECLARE THAT HE HAD ARRIVED IN FULLNESS! Every single day here on earth and in eternity we will continue to grow in Christ Jesus if you allow the process and follow and embrace SPIRIT AND TRUTH, not the doctrines of demons through humanity.

Philippians 3:12–16 (NKJV)

Pressing Toward the Goal

12 Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. 13 Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, 14 I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

15 Therefore let us, as many as are mature, have this mind; and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal even this to you. 16 Nevertheless, to the degree that we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us be of the same mind.

When a professing Christian does not receive correction have they already “attained perfection”! Is being saved without total sanctification spiritual perfection? I use the term Christian as this applies to everyone who proclaims to be a Christian including myself. I seek and desire the fullness of Christ Jesus in HIS Spirit and Truth and I am NOT finding that desire or mindset in the modern church today. I have personally been kicked out of several seminaries and exiled from many churches for desiring and speaking in Spirit and Truth. The Lord has even spoken to me to dust of my shoes which means that church would suffer worse than Sodom And Gomorrah.

Matthew 10:14–15 (NKJV)

14 And whoever will not receive you nor hear your words, when you depart from that house or city, shake off the dust from your feet. 15 Assuredly, I say to you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city!

Just reflect on the condition of the world we live in and the lack of TRUE AND SPIRITUAL representation of the world. It is the “body of Christ” that was called to impact the world in Spirit and Truth! So let me put it this way. What are all of these “revivals” and where is the REAL SPIRITUAL EVIDENCE of these revivals today. Why is evil more prevalent and lawlessness abounding if true “REVIVAL” has taken place. The simple answer is that people have likely been falsely saved by ANOTHER JESUS, ANOTHER GOSPEL OR ANOTHER SPIRIT! Many of these revivals are of the Antichrist Spirit! You see if you read my blog post on Jesus interaction with the Pharisees you will understand that TWO “commissions” were at works simultaneously when Jesus spoke to the Pharisees. That is why the gospels tell us that EVEN THEN THERE WERE MANY ANTICHRISTS! The Pharisees were making twice the child of the devil!

Read my post here: https://abidingbread.com/2025/06/07/jesus-verses-the-pharisees/ The pharisees are fulfilling their “great commission” of the devil and the disciples who became Apostles are fulfilling the Lord’s commission! My blog post will expound on that so feel free to read that post.

Love for the Church

14 Now for the third time I am ready to come to you. And I will not be burdensome to you; for I do not seek yours, but you. For the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children. 15 And I will very gladly spend and be spent for your souls; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I am loved.

16 But be that as it may, I did not burden you. Nevertheless, being crafty, I caught you by cunning! 17 Did I take advantage of you by any of those whom I sent to you? 18 I urged Titus, and sent our brother with him. Did Titus take advantage of you? Did we not walk in the same spirit? Did we not walk in the same steps?

19 Again, do you think that we excuse ourselves to you? We speak before God in Christ. But we do all things, beloved, for your edification. 20 For I fear lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I wish, and that I shall be found by you such as you do not wish; lest there be contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, backbitings, whisperings, conceits, tumults; 21 lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and I shall mourn for many who have sinned before and have not repented of the uncleanness, fornication, and lewdness which they have practiced.

Paul is surrendering the outcome to Christ Jesus as Jesus is the Alpha and Omega and finisher of our faith. That is the humility Paul is speaking and he does not hold bitterness or unforgiveness of the persecution the people do against him.

Don’t be deceived that everyone in a “church” assembly belongs to the Lord including leadership as it is Satan’s desire to be in the pulpit not merely as a spokesman/preacher but as/in place of the Living God. That is what Isaiah refers to when Satan wanted to exalt himself above the Most High! This is rampant in the church today as the Antichrist Spirit is in many of the pulpits, prayer groups, “body” and in the pews.

It is truly saddening that Paul makes a truthful and profound statement about the “body of Christ” that the more he loved the church the less he was loved for speaking in Spirit and Truth! I have found this also in my journey and calling. You can not receive the truth of the Word of God when you are not humble and the Truth of God’s Word WITHOUT the Holy Spirit and TRUE FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS. We may get initially saved by grace through faith but the Lord Jesus will NOT keep you in false doctrine, preaching false doctrine and making false converts. When you choose to remain in these places of false doctrine quite often that is a form of judgment because you chose to have itchy ears and did not desire or love the Truth of The Written and Living Word. Some churches close but others are used to separate those who do not desire Spirit and Truth. There are many witches and demonic spirits within the assembling of the church today so pay attention to a witness of the Fruit of the Spirit and the revealing of growth in the Fruit of the Spirit because if there is no sign of TRUE REPENTANCE AND SURRENDER they are not there to be saved but to to kill, steal and destroy the saints! Look for who they have close relationships with and they may be kindred spirits performing the same works of darkness. Kindred spirits like to hang out together. Addicts hand around addicts, alcoholics hang around alcoholics, etc.

While I am not being led to share names there have been preachers that preached false doctrines of demons for decades and have a huge following. Some have since passed away but the doctrines are still being preached by the false disciples they mentored and some of these have even written their version of God’s Holy Word! Tell me how can a truly redeemed Christian who having been saved for decades be preaching lies and false doctrines! It is because they are not submitted to Christ Jesus and they have become gods upon to themselves and it is their identity and belief they preach and not Christ Jesus in Spirit and Truth. If you don’t believe me then you haven’t read about Jesus being tempted in the wilderness and Satan quoting Psalm 91 which is a Psalm of protection from demons! Yes, demons! Do some research on that so it was Satan who was demonic quoting Psalm 91 protection to Jesus while Satan was trying to get Jesus to FALL! I tell you I want to puke and vomit at times when I hear these same false preachers say “you must know your identity in Christ” as that is from the pit of hell. Read Galatians 2:20 and 6:14. Your identity is not conformed in Christ, His identity is to be conformed in you! It may sound like I am being picky but that statement is deceiving because it has pride masquerading as humility! Greater is He in You! When the Lord returns He will be looking for Himself within a people in His image and likeness. We are to be restored to HIS IMAGE AND LIKENESS and there is NO darkness in Christ Jesus! This is imperative and the only way to walk in the peace of Jesus in these last days and perilous times is to have the fullness of HIS peace and perfect love full manifested within us! The Antichrist will come as false peace! If you can not discern the spirit you will be deceived! Jesus said My peace I give you so it is the Prince of Peace in us! Who’s identity are we talking about!

Okay, I got off topic a little but I felt the Lord prompting me to add a few things. So getting back to the unbelief which is why the pre-tribulation is so profound. These people make a mockery of the grace of God by embracing, preaching and speaking belief in the pre-tribulation rapture! Remember Paul seeking the Lord about the thorn in the flesh which was EXTERNAL FORCES OF DARKNESS from Satan and Jesus said His Grace was sufficient. Well this applies also to the end of the age when lawlessness will about and MANY WILL FALL FROM FAITH! The pre-tribulation rapture is not having faith in Christ Jesus to sustain you to overcome the spirit of this age as you read in the scriptures I provided. The pre-trib rapture is actually denying the Cross of Calvary to work within us or applied to us. It is an attempt to save your earthly life and Jesus said who seeks to save their life shall lose it! Christ Jesus is the veil and no one has access to the kingdom without Christ Jesus. He is the door that NO man can open and no man can close! What is the pre-trib rapture really about? It is about escaping death and the Cross of Christ calls us to die to ourselves. Furthermore the Word of God tells us that whoever adds to His Word they will suffer the plagues written in His Word! So what they try to escape they actually place upon themselves! Is not this deception from the deceiver Satan who deceives the whole world! It is from the devil! Scripture that is perverted, twisted and manipulated is not Spirit and Truth so adding the pre-tribulation rapture is adding condemnation and the plagues written upon yourself!

Revelation 22:18–19 (NKJV)

A Warning

18 For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; 19 and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

As I took a brief break as I have been writing and meditating for 8 hours hours now I want to share some more which will help with the end of the age and being a living testimony for Christ. If you have read my blog post https://abidingbread.com/2025/06/07/jesus-verses-the-pharisees/ you would have read the verbal exchange between Jesus and the Pharisees. I have always said that if you change ONE WORD that is written you change the whole meaning of Spirit and Truth! This is why the Holy Spirit will reveal the Truth of what is Written because the Written Word and Living Word Christ Jesus are ONE! The devil tries hard to remove the Spirit from the Written Word because the Spirit brings life to the Written Word and the Written Word without the Spirit does not! That is why Peter said where shall we go to Jesus, you have the Words of Life. Jesus came as the second Adam a life giving Spirit.

Okay hopefully you have read my blog with Jesus and the Pharisees. The point I want to make is that every word has significance and what is not spoken or written also has significance! Let me take one scripture from that article.

Matthew 23:31 (NKJV)

31 “Therefore you are witnesses against yourselves that you are sons of those who murdered the prophets.

I emphasized “murder” because when you take the full counsel of God’s Word murder is not the same as killing. I know this might seem a little difficult to understand so bare with me a little. So here is what I want you to see as you read what Jesus spoke.

Matthew 10:28 (NKJV)

28 And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

So Jesus is implying that the prophets were NOT dead! The act of murder killed the body but NOT the Spirit of God or soul of that body! Now do you see in greater importance of the unbelief and falling from grace of the pre-trib rapture! Do you see why we are called to overcome even onto death for Christ Jesus as a LIVING TESTIMONY! The pre-trib rapture denies the cross of Calvary in your life as you will not have to be conformed to His image bearing a true spiritual image of Christ by applying the cross of Christ and dying to self! So you will not be a living testimony in the end of the age bearing the Image of the Son of God Christ Jesus.

Matthew 16:27–28 (NKJV)

The Prophecy of the Second Coming

Mark 8:38–9:1; Luke 9:26, 27

27 For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will reward each according to his works. 28 Assuredly, I say to you, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.”

This belief and doctrine of the pre-tribulation rapture is killing Christ in you and true spiritual growth in Christ which can only become fully established and rendered by “death to self” which is the why we are not only to take communion in “remembrance” but in real life and actuality. Reflect on when Steven was stoned and the heavens opened! Hallelujah Steven was taken to heaven as heaven opened to receive him. He was murdered but NOT killed! Please reflect on Galatians 2:20 and 6:14.

Matthew 16:25 (NKJV)

25 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.

When you deny the working of the cross in your life you are attempting to save your earthly life and that is the foundational and spiritual impact of the pre-tribulation rapture false doctrine which is the Devil.

When Jesus was at the last supper and said we MUST partake in HIS BODY AND BLOOD Jesus had not yet been to the cross! So what is implied is exactly what Jesus told us a disciple MUST do: pick up your cross, deny yourself and follow Jesus! So if Jesus went on the cross we are to also! We are allowing the Cross of Christ to work within us. When you partake of communion it is a symbolic agreement that you are called to the same cross of Christ and die to self so Christ may be manifested in you! The disciples at that time had NO revelation or teaching that Jesus was slain before the foundation of the world. We know why they had no revelation of this as Paul tells us later in this scripture. That being said how is that Paul writes about an event that he was never present at. How did Moses write the first 5 books of the scriptures? How am I writing this today?

John 6:53–58 (NKJV)

53 Then Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you. 54 Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. 55 For My flesh is food indeed, and My blood is drink indeed. 56 He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him. 57 As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me. 58 This is the bread which came down from heaven—not as your fathers ate the manna, and are dead. He who eats this bread will live forever.”

Now let’s take this one step further about communion which will directly contradict what many false doctrines preach. When Jesus said “one of you will betray you” what happened to the disciples. All but Judas examined himself as Paul speaks a man should examine himself before taking communion. Here is where the false doctrines go astray about being predestined to heaven or hell. Why would Jesus give Judas the chance to examine himself and repent if the Lord Jesus desired Judas to be overtaken by Satan. Predestination denies the Father of Faith Abraham, the obedience of Abraham to receive the righteousness of Jesus and it denies that Jesus is Alpha AND Omega knowing the end from the beginning. Jesus already knew Judas would do as he did just as Jesus knew Adam would fall and the Lamb was Slain before the foundation of the world. Jesus doesn’t send anyone to hell and they are not predestined to hell. We were all, every human predestined to be one with the Father through Christ Jesus because Jesus was slain before the world/earth was even created! There is NO repentance even needed with predestination and to believe GOD FORCES HIMSELF UPON SOMEONE! What would you call it when a man forces himself upon a woman/church?

2 Peter 3:9 (NKJV)

9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.

1 Peter 1:18–21 (NKJV)

18 knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, 19 but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. 20 He indeed was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you 21 who through Him believe in God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.

1 Corinthians 2:6–9 (NKJV)

Spiritual Wisdom

6 However, we speak wisdom among those who are mature, yet not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. 7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory, 8 which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

9 But as it is written:

“Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,

Nor have entered into the heart of man

The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”

This is why in Paul’s writing he talks about falsely partaking of the body and blood of Christ Jesus. In today’s church have you ever heard that communion was a call to the Cross of Christ applied to your own life? Communion has become a religious tradition and not a call to personal sacrifice dying to self and sanctification for Christ Jesus. Some religions relate communion to if you have sin rather than a call to die to sin! Paul expounds this same spiritual truth in the book of Romans!

1 Corinthians 11:28–32 (NKJV)

28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup. 29 For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgment to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body. 30 For this reason many are weak and sick among you, and many sleep (are dead). 31 For if we would judge ourselves, we would not be judged. 32 But when we are judged, we are chastened by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.

SLEEP MEANS DEAD! Being dead means not alive in Christ!

Romans 6:1–14 (NKJV)

Dead to Sin, Alive to God

6 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? 2 Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? 3 Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

5 For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection, 6 knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin. 7 For he who has died has been freed from sin. 8 Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, 9 knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him. 10 For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. 11 Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts. 13 And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. 14 For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.

As you can see in Romans 6 is in direct relationship to partaking in communion. By partaking in communion you are agreeing with the Lord that you will not only receive the benefits of His Life, Death and Resurrection but you also will go through the cross of Christ to be as Jesus is. The Father is not looking for merely saved people he is looking for sons/daughters and that can only be done by the seeing the true spiritual image of Christ in you the Son of God, and there is NO darkness in Christ Jesus.

1 John 1:7 (NKJV)

7 But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.

Having just read 1 John 1:7 how is that saints fellowship with darkness or sit in the synagogue of Satan as Jesus revealed in Revelations?

Ephesians 5:11–14 (NKJV)

11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them. 12 For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret. 13 But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light. 14 Therefore He says:

“Awake, you who sleep,

Arise from the dead,

And Christ will give you light.”

As I was writing this post the Holy Spirit spoke to me about the Apostles and prompted me to share as a remembrance for each of us in our individual spiritual growth. Each of the Apostles had the same Gospel but each received continued revelations of Christ even though they were Apostles! Paul received revelations of Grace by his affliction of being buffeted by Satan and it was Paul himself that said he had not “arrived” to perfection. It was John already and Apostle who received revelation and wrote the book of Revelations! Each of us is called to continue our journey seeking the Lord in Spirit and Truth to receive continual revelations of Christ Jesus.

1 Corinthians 13:9–13 (NKJV)

9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part. 10 But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.

11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 12 For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.

13 And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

This is why I desire to hear and ask people “what is the Lord doing in your life” and I normally get earthly responses and not a testimony of spiritual growth of revelations of Christ Jesus. Too many people follow and rely on their “old testimony” but what is the Lord doing in your life now! What new revelations of Christ are you receiving, are you growing in Christ? Is your only testimony of salvation which was years ago? I am not being judgmental I am trying to provoke you to spiritual growth. It is the Father’s desire to reveal Himself to you through The Holy Spirit that is why Jesus said if you have seen me you have seen the Father! Are people witnessing and seeing Christ in you or are you just talking about when you were saved many years ago? Are you merely stating a scripture or are you empowered by the Holy Spirit while speaking that scripture? Light penetrates darkness and the Light of God needs to be manifest in us! Do you only have the Words that are Written or do you bare the manifest presence of Christ in His Light and Truth?

Matthew 5:14–16 (NKJV)

14 “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

If anyone has reviewed my social media I do NOT like or endorse any ministry because I exalt Christ Jesus and I cannot spend all of my time vetting people to be sure they are continuously on the narrow path. This is because we are still on the earth and our adversary is after all of us! I do however like some of the faithfully departed saints and enjoy their writings as they are no longer subjected to the god of this world. I don’t do this to be cruel I do it to protect people who might follow me and thus look to see who I follow. I hope that makes sense to you as it is nothing personal. I take my spiritual walk seriously with the Lord and I won’t compromise Spirit and Truth to just “get along” with people. Because I won’t compromise Spirit and Truth it causes much hardship in the natural world and spiritual world but is beyond comprehension of how free I am in the Spirit of God! Believe me Matthew 5 hits home when you belong to Jesus and walk in His Spirit.

No compromise! If the Holy Spirit does not bare witness it is not true. If the Holy Spirit in you does not witness what a pastor preaches even though you know that is written do not come into agreement. The Word might be right but the Spirit is NOT! So as Satan operates by mixing truth with lies and deception! Remember Jesus tempted in the wilderness with Psalm 91, the young damsel with the spirit of divination proclaiming Paul was a servant of Christ preaching salvation. Paul’s spirit was unsettled, troubled and not at peace with what was spoken! I hope you understand what I am speaking to you!

Romans 3:4 (NKJV)

4 Certainly not! Indeed, let God be true but every man a liar. As it is written:

“That You may be justified in Your words,

And may overcome when You are judged.”

I tell people that if they haven’t seen someone in a while that is of the brethren that the first thing a person that walks in the Spirit of God does is discern that person again! Why you might ask, because Satan is after them just as he is after me! A saint on earth has not put on the new heavenly body yet where corruptible puts on incorruptible and mortality puts on immortality. We live in a fallen world and Satan is the god of this world.

Until each of us fulfills “our race/journey” we must endure and overcome the evil one! I am not being cruel by not endorsing another ministry I don’t want anyone to be misled or even follow me as I am merely an ambassador for Christ and have no personal representation of my own. I too am subjected to the god of this world and the attacks of the god of this world. Truthfully speaking it takes me nearly a full day to prepare these messages and I am normally under spiritual attack when and after writing these messages so I too am growing in revelations of overcoming by the Grace of the Lord Jesus. Just as the Apostles were forbidden to preach the name of Jesus and were imprisoned, beaten or afflicted that has not changed for any of us in this world until the Lord’s return and ALL EVIL is dealt with.

Well twelve hours have passed in writing this post. I had only intended to write a follow up to my previous post about the pre-trib rapture but just as it is with prophetic utterance sometimes when you start the spirit keeps going beyond what you originally received. No complaints as I enjoy that fellowship with the Lord as Jesus continues to speak to me. So I pray you have received clarity by the Holy Spirit by reading both articles I have written for the Lord as His Spirit has lead me to do. May the Lord’s Grace not only sustain you but may you continue to grow in Christ in revelations of Spirit and Truth by His good Grace. God bless you!

In closing:

Proverbs 1:1–33 (NKJV)

The Beginning of Knowledge

1 The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel:

2 To know wisdom and instruction,

To perceive the words of understanding,

3 To receive the instruction of wisdom,

Justice, judgment, and equity;

4 To give prudence to the simple,

To the young man knowledge and discretion—

5 A wise man will hear and increase learning,

And a man of understanding will attain wise counsel,

6 To understand a proverb and an enigma,

The words of the wise and their riddles.

7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge,

But fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Shun Evil Counsel

8 My son, hear the instruction of your father,

And do not forsake the law of your mother;

9 For they will be a graceful ornament on your head,

And chains about your neck.

10 My son, if sinners entice you,

Do not consent.

11 If they say, “Come with us,

Let us lie in wait to shed blood;

Let us lurk secretly for the innocent without cause;

12 Let us swallow them alive like Sheol,

And whole, like those who go down to the Pit;

13 We shall find all kinds of precious possessions,

We shall fill our houses with spoil;

14 Cast in your lot among us,

Let us all have one purse”—

15 My son, do not walk in the way with them,

Keep your foot from their path;

16 For their feet run to evil,

And they make haste to shed blood.

17 Surely, in vain the net is spread

In the sight of any bird;

18 But they lie in wait for their own blood,

They lurk secretly for their own lives.

19 So are the ways of everyone who is greedy for gain;

It takes away the life of its owners.

The Call of Wisdom

20 Wisdom calls aloud outside;

She raises her voice in the open squares.

21 She cries out in the chief concourses,

At the openings of the gates in the city

She speaks her words:

22 “How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity?

For scorners delight in their scorning,

And fools hate knowledge.

23 Turn at my rebuke;

Surely I will pour out my spirit on you;

I will make my words known to you.

24 Because I have called and you refused,

I have stretched out my hand and no one regarded,

25 Because you disdained all my counsel,

And would have none of my rebuke,

26 I also will laugh at your calamity;

I will mock when your terror comes,

27 When your terror comes like a storm,

And your destruction comes like a whirlwind,

When distress and anguish come upon you.

28 “Then they will call on me, but I will not answer;

They will seek me diligently, but they will not find me.

29 Because they hated knowledge

And did not choose the fear of the Lord,

30 They would have none of my counsel

And despised my every rebuke.

31 Therefore they shall eat the fruit of their own way,

And be filled to the full with their own fancies.

32 For the turning away of the simple will slay them,

And the complacency of fools will destroy them;

33 But whoever listens to me will dwell safely,

And will be secure, without fear of evil.”

THE UNBELIEF OF THE PRE-TRIBULATION RAPTURE

THE UNBELIEF OF THE PRE-TRIBULATION RAPTURE

As with any posting from anyone I do my best to try to communicate what is on my heart the best that I can. Please take all matters to the Lord in prayer. It is NOT my will that anyone be deceived. The enemy is after all of us, including me! I pray the Holy Spirit bears witness to all of you. If not then it could be for a different time in your walk with the Lord. DO NOT ACCEPT WHAT THE HOLY SPIRIT DOES NOT REVEAL BUT PRAY INTO IT. God bless the saints of the Lord and may the fullness of His love and spirit dwell and manifest richly within you.

Hebrews 11 (NKJV)

By Faith We Understand

11 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders obtained a good testimony.

3 By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.

Faith at the Dawn of History

4 By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts; and through it he being dead still speaks.

5 By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, “and was not found, because God had taken him”; for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God. 6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

7 By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.

Faithful Abraham

8 By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going. 9 By faith he dwelt in the land of promise as in a foreign country, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise; 10 for he waited for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

11 By faith Sarah herself also received strength to conceive seed, and she bore a child when she was past the age, because she judged Him faithful who had promised. 12 Therefore from one man, and him as good as dead, were born as many as the stars of the sky in multitude—innumerable as the sand which is by the seashore.

The Heavenly Hope

13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off were assured of them, embraced them and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. 14 For those who say such things declare plainly that they seek a homeland. 15 And truly if they had called to mind that country from which they had come out, they would have had opportunity to return. 16 But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them.

The Faith of the Patriarchs

17 By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, 18 of whom it was said, “In Isaac your seed shall be called,” 19 concluding that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead, from which he also received him in a figurative sense.

20 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.

21 By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and worshiped, leaning on the top of his staff.

22 By faith Joseph, when he was dying, made mention of the departure of the children of Israel, and gave instructions concerning his bones.

The Faith of Moses

23 By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden three months by his parents, because they saw he was a beautiful child; and they were not afraid of the king’s command.

24 By faith Moses, when he became of age, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, 25 choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin, 26 esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt; for he looked to the reward.

27 By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured as seeing Him who is invisible. 28 By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, lest he who destroyed the firstborn should touch them.

29 By faith they passed through the Red Sea as by dry land, whereas the Egyptians, attempting to do so, were drowned.

By Faith They Overcame

30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they were encircled for seven days. 31 By faith the harlot Rahab did not perish with those who did not believe, when she had received the spies with peace.

32 And what more shall I say? For the time would fail me to tell of Gideon and Barak and Samson and Jephthah, also of David and Samuel and the prophets: 33 who through faith subdued kingdoms, worked righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, 34 quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, became valiant in battle, turned to flight the armies of the aliens. 35 Women received their dead raised to life again.

Others were tortured, not accepting deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection. 36 Still others had trial of mockings and scourgings, yes, and of chains and imprisonment. 37 They were stoned, they were sawn in two, were tempted, were slain with the sword. They wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins, being destitute, afflicted, tormented—38 of whom the world was not worthy. They wandered in deserts and mountains, in dens and caves of the earth.

39 And all these, having obtained a good testimony through faith, did not receive the promise, 40 God having provided something better for us, that they should not be made perfect apart from us.

What people are not truly understanding is that the mark of the beast is the same as the “forbidden fruit” from the Garden of Eden. If you take the mark you shall surely die and be forever separate from the Lord Jesus. The mark of the beast will become your life as the Antichrist because you will be disconnected from the TREE OF LIFE, CHRIST JESUS. Hence you are of your father the devil.

John 14:6 (NKJV)

6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

You will NOT get to the Father by partaking in the forbidden fruit or the mark of the beast but the mark of the beast will allow you physical life while it renders spiritual death. So here is the point of the “unbelief of the pre-tribulation rapture”. You believe the lie of the pre-tribulation rapture because you do not have total faith and belief in the TREE OF LIFE. The pre-tribulation is presented as the essence of life by the false doctrine of demons just as the “apple” was presented by the Serpent in the Garden.

Is your saving faith in the truth of God’s Word and your life sustained by the TREE OF LIFE or will you deny faith believing the apple had no impact or consequences. You might as well say that and Adam and Eve never fell from the TREE OF LIFE. The pre-tribulation rapture is evil presented as good!

Isaiah 5:20–21 (NKJV)

20 Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;

Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness;

Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes,

And prudent in their own sight!

So what the Serpent presented in the garden to Eve will be presented once again as the Mark of the Beast! It will look and be presented as life which in reality represents death! The pre-tribulation rapture is the denial of true and TOTAL saving faith not being totally rooted and grounded in faith and partaken in the TREE OF LIFE, CHRIST JESUS. Let’s put it this way. In your home if something was found to be toxic or deadly to the life of your household you would REMOVE the toxin to safeguard the lives of your loved ones.

Now with this in mind when the Lord opens or closes a door no man can change that door to life in Christ or the will of Christ Jesus. One thing I have noticed why there is so little true growth of faith is because faith is always being tested to be truly strengthened. The process of which too many deny because it is not pleasing, sensual, palatable, or render worldly provisions. The Lord doesn’t present things as the Serpent presents things that is why it is not pleasing to the fallen nature of humanity.

Mark 8:36–9:1 (NKJV)

36 For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? 37 Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? 38 For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.”

The Transfiguration

Matt. 16:28–17:3; Luke 9:27–36

9 And He said to them, “Assuredly, I say to you that there are some standing here who will not taste death till they see the kingdom of God present with power.”

So it is truly unbelief that preaches the pre-tribulation rapture and not saving faith and belief in Christ Jesus. Once again as I have written this in previous postings. What we will experience is similar to the three Hebrews in the Fiery Furnace. They had saving faith and full devotion and belief in Christ Jesus! What did the fiery furnace represent? Why was it turned up seven times hotter? It is because when a house is swept clean the demonic spirit roams around for a home and returns to the previous owner that spirit brings seven more spirits making this person seven times worse. With the fiery furnace turned up seven times it is the number of completion/perfection which is symbolic of an eternal state in hell!

Matthew 12:43–45 (NKJV)

43 “When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none. 44 Then he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when he comes, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order. 45 Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it also be with this wicked generation.”

2 Peter 2:20–22 (NKJV)

20 For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the latter end is worse for them than the beginning. 21 For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them. 22 But it has happened to them according to the true proverb: “A dog returns to his own vomit,” and, “a sow, having washed, to her wallowing in the mire.”

Upon salvation we receive a “measure of faith” and a measure is not fullness of faith! The pre-tribulation rapture is not fullness of faith! Think of the twelve scouts that Moses sent out and the answers he received. Only two of the twelve had true faith that the Lord promised them this land and that they would overcome the giants of the land! This is the same end of the age faith that is required. A pre-tribulation rapture is refusal to stand for Christ Jesus in Spirit and Truth through thick and thin, trials and tribulations. How can this be a “true” witness of Christ Jesus with unbelief! If you have any unbelief you have LITTLE TO NO SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY against darkness and evil. This is the widespread condition of the church today! Unbelief masquerading as belief just and an outward appearance of godliness but denying the power of God.

Revelation 12:11 (NKJV)

11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.

Matthew 17:19–21 (NKJV)

19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, “Why could we not cast it out?”

20 So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you. 21 However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.”

Prayer and fasting is what crucifies unbelief! What did Saul from Tarsus do immediately after his encounter with Jesus? He fasted and prayed for three days! He was a person who did not believe in Christ Jesus before his encounter.

In one of my previous post I posed these thoughts to people to think about the MAGNITUDE of what faith is. When the Lord Jesus told Adam not to partake of the tree of knowledge of good and evil which the forbidden fruit represented. Ask yourself, I mean seriously stand in the garden in personal representation as Adam. Now ask yourself, what is death where death has never been before? Similarly, what is a flood where there is no rain or water? You see that is why FAITH is required and essential for a life in Christ Jesus and why the pre-tribulation rapture is of the devil! A similar analysis would be telling your young child not to touch the stove top because it is hot and when you turn your back they touch the stove top and get burned. Did they have faith in what you spoke to them? Are not these actions of the fallen nature as that is where unbelief is rooted when Eve partook of the forbidden fruit! Real belief is in the one whom you follow not merely speak about! Adam chose EVE not the fruit as Adam did not partake prior to the creation of Eve. Could this be similar to a modern day metaphor, a happy wife is a happy life sacrificing your personal beliefs and morals for your wife to sustain a sense of peace. I am just putting that out there. Adam was attacked by the lust of the flesh. We each need to learn for ourselves by Spirit and Truth what the Written and Living Word of God speaks to us as individuals not as a “corporate assembled body” of people. What is the Lord telling and speaking to you not what someone else is saying too you. This would include from the pulpit! My blog post address this: https://abidingbread.com/2026/01/03/the-spiritual-damnation-of-religious-gossip/

With the pre-tribulation rapture you do not need to have the “fullness of faith, trust” or even divine Agape love of Christ Jesus. This is why Peter was restored in love by Jesus after denying Jesus three times. Your love for Christ Jesus should be above and greater than the love for anyone else. This is why Jesus told us about the two great commandments and the first was to love the Lord with all of your heart, soul and mind.

Matthew 22:37–40 (NKJV)

37 Jesus said to him, “ ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”

The pre-tribulation rapture is a lie from the pit of hell! So let’s look at it another way or perspective. When Christ was on the Cross of Calvary did they not shout if you are the King of the Jews remove yourself from this cross! The pre-tribulation is the same thing! I hope you are seeing how if you believe in the pre-tribulation rapture and your preacher is preaching this you are listening to the devil masquerading as an angel of light! Wolves in sheep’s clothing. They are not spiritually building you up they are leading you to destruction! So if Jesus removed Himself from the cross then they woul have believed? Had not Jesus already performed many miracles and they still did not believe in Jesus! If you truly need to witness a pre-tribulation rapture as your sign or belief to know the separation of the redeemed from the unsaved then you admit you have no spiritual discernment now! You don’t need a sign and wonder to know good from evil or holiness from darkness you need personal revelation from the Holy Spirit by walking in the Spirit not carnal knowledge!

Matthew 13:30 (NKJV)

30 Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.” ’ ”

Notice what happens first! The tares are dealt with not the saints! Noah and his family were not taken up but the “tares” were removed by the flood!

When you embrace the pre-tribulation which is rooted in unbelief you deny the miraculous power of Jesus to bear witness to the world! Noah’ Arc was not just mere wood it was the covenant of Christ Jesus!

Matthew 13:57–58 (NKJV)

57 So they were offended at Him.

But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own country and in his own house.” 58 Now He did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

This is why people are so focused on signs and wonders! When it was spoke to Jesus on the Cross about removing Himself they had already denied Jesus but yet still wanted a sign and wonder! Christ Jesus is our SIGN AND WONDER! Jesus had already performed numerous signs and wonders!

Matthew 12:39–41 (NKJV)

39 But He answered and said to them, “An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. 40 For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. 41 The men of Nineveh will rise up in the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and indeed a greater than Jonah is here.

The Serpent is using the pre-tribulation rapture as a sign and wonder and if you need a sign and wonder to repent you do not have complete unwavering faith in Christ Jesus! This is exactly what was spoken to Jesus on the Cross of Calvary “IF” you are the King of the Jews remove yourself from that cross! “IF” requires the “sign and wonder” as it is unbelief masquerading as belief! Many have the illusion of faith believing they have faith just as many believe they are born again and are NOT! This is also why the devil performs signs and wonders to deceive people into following him.

Matthew 7:22–23 (NKJV)

22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

John 5:39–47 (NKJV)

Witness of the Scriptures

39 You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me. 40 But you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life.

41 “I do not receive honor from men. 42 But I know you, that you do not have the love of God in you. 43 I have come in My Father’s name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, him you will receive. 44 How can you believe, who receive honor from one another, and do not seek the honor that comes from the only God? 45 Do not think that I shall accuse you to the Father; there is one who accuses you—Moses, in whom you trust. 46 For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me; for he wrote about Me. 47 But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?”

Do you believe in ALL OF THE WORD OF GOD?

The Lord just reminded me of this scripture to add. You see so much of the scripture is taken out of context for substantiating lies and deceit just as the Serpent did in the garden. The book of Thessalonians is not speaking of a pre-tribulation rapture it is about the second coming of Christ Jesus. When you add to the Word of God about a pre-tribulation rapture you are adding the plagues and pestilence upon yourself! The devil has tricked you into actually submitting to the plagues he himself initiates! This is like partaking in the forbidden fruit from the garden.

Revelation 22:18–19 (NKJV)

A Warning

18 For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; 19 and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

I was not intending to originally make this statement but it needs to be spoken as the Lord brought this to me at this time to share. There is a “false mimicking spirit” which masquerades as the Holy Spirit which is “sensual” not HOLY! It is prevalent in all of the church body of the undiscerning and sits withing the pews and leadership. It will arouse the “flesh” masquerading as “spiritual” and you see it in much of the foolishness of today’s worship! They are not bringing the Spirit of Holiness they are bringing a “sensual demonic” spirit that masquerades as the Holy Spirit. Crucified flesh or a person that walks in the Spirit of God will know what I am talking about! It makes me want to puke just as Jesus said He would vomit us out of His mouth!

Well while I love to share what the Lord puts on my heart I will close for now before I go off on another topic. I hope you see now that the pre-tribulation is actually unbelief and the mark of the beast is the devils tree of life. I pray the Lord reveal to you in His Spirit of Truth what you have just read.

DAVID vs. GOLIATH & THE MARK OF THE BEAST

DAVID vs. GOLIATH & THE MARK OF THE BEAST

As with any posting from anyone I do my best to try to communicate what is on my heart the best that I can. Please take all matters to the Lord in prayer. It is NOT my will that anyone be deceived. The enemy is after all of us, including me! I pray the Holy Spirit bears witness to all of you. If not then it could be for a different time in your walk with the Lord. DO NOT ACCEPT WHAT THE HOLY SPIRIT DOES NOT REVEAL BUT PRAY INTO IT. God bless the saints of the Lord and may the fullness of His love and spirit dwell and manifest richly within you.

In my quiet time meditating with the Lord the Lord Jesus spoke and revealed to me the battle between David and Goliath and how that battle represents the Mark of The Beast. So as I went to scripture to read this accounting of events I thought I’d just share what the Lord spoke and revealed to me but as I read the scriptures more was given. So I am including the whole chapter of 1 Samuel 17 along with other scriptures. I will place my comments in between the scriptures as there is much to share.

Let me start out by stating that numerology plays a significant importance on scriptures and the meaning of scriptures so pay attention to numbers.

In the Bible, the number 8 symbolizes new beginnings, resurrection, and a new creation. This is because Jesus was resurrected on the eighth day, the day after the Sabbath, marking a new era and victory over death. Other examples include Noah’s family (8 people) being saved in the ark, signifying a new start for humanity, and the practice of circumcising baby boys on the eighth day, representing a new covenant with God. 

David was the eighth son and the number eight has great significance in David’s calling and reigning over Israel as well as the “bloodline” of in incarnate Christ Jesus.

1 Samuel 16:10 (NKJV)

10 Thus Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel. And Samuel said to Jesse, “The Lord has not chosen these.”

In Samuel 16 we learn that the Holy Spirit departed from Saul and that is why Samuel was commissioned to anoint David as King prior to the battle of David and Goliath. I suggest that what I share today is a “foreshadow” of the true Church/Bride of Christ in the end of the age as well as the journey each Christian is called to in the spiritual battle of this world.

1 Samuel 16:14 (ESV)

David in Saul’s Service

14 Now the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul, and a harmful spirit from the Lord tormented him.

I would like you to keep in mind Genesis 6 and the fallen angels and what the Lord revealed about the times of the flood and Jesus stating that it will be as in the days of Noah.

Genesis 6:1–8 (NKJV)

The Wickedness and Judgment of Man

6 Now it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, 2 that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose.

3 And the Lord said, “My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he is indeed flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.” 4 There were giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.

5 Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6 And the Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. 7 So the Lord said, “I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them.” 8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.

Please keep in mind Genesis 6:1-8 especially the bold and underlined texts as I will touch upon these later regarding the Mark of the Beast.

1 Samuel 17:1–58 (NKJV)

David and Goliath

17 Now the Philistines gathered their armies together to battle, and were gathered at Sochoh, which belongs to Judah; they encamped between Sochoh and Azekah, in Ephes Dammim. 2 And Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and they encamped in the Valley of Elah, and drew up in battle array against the Philistines. 3 The Philistines stood on a mountain on one side, and Israel stood on a mountain on the other side, with a valley between them.

Mountains represent “high places” where the gods dwell. It is a place of power and empowerment to those that worship the gods of those “high places”.

4 And a champion went out from the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, from Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span. 5 He had a bronze helmet on his head, and he was armed with a coat of mail, and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of bronze. 6 And he had bronze armor on his legs and a bronze javelin between his shoulders. 7 Now the staff of his spear was like a weaver’s beam, and his iron spearhead weighed six hundred shekels; and a shield-bearer went before him. 8 Then he stood and cried out to the armies of Israel, and said to them, “Why have you come out to line up for battle? Am I not a Philistine, and you the servants of Saul? Choose a man for yourselves, and let him come down to me.

Goliath was six cubits in height, wore/had six pieces of armor or equipment, and the spearhead weighed six hundred shekels of iron. In other words “666” or “six hundred and sixty six”. This battle between David and Goliath was a battle to the death because the two were enmity to each other.

This is where many Christians struggle they serve other religious people falsely believing they are serving the Lord Christ Jesus! How is it that Goliath recognized that the army of the Israelite’s served Saul and not the Lord of Hosts? Remember the Spirit of God departed from Saul as stated previously in 1 Samuel 16:14 as we read earlier. I have always marveled at how Satan knows who we are in Christ but professing Christians do not know who someone is in Christ! There is no real discerning of spirits among the brethren.

Acts 19:15 (NKJV)

15 And the evil spirit answered and said, “Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are you?”

1 Samuel 17 continued

9 If he is able to fight with me and kill me, then we will be your servants. But if I prevail against him and kill him, then you shall be our servants and serve us.”

In verse 9 let us not forget that there is only two kingdoms, light and darkness and each is represented by a god. Either the god of this world or the TRUE LIVING GOD CHRIST JESUS who is the God above all other gods! What Goliath was actually stating was that if he won that the Israelite’s would serve the god of Goliath! Now if you take what I just said and apply it to the “end of the age” and the ONE WORLD ORDER/GOVERNMENT it is all about worshiping Satan who is the god of this world! More later.

Exodus 20:3 (NKJV)

3 “You shall have no other gods before Me.

10 And the Philistine said, “I defy the armies of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together.” 11 When Saul and all Israel heard these words of the Philistine, they were dismayed and greatly afraid.

I highlighted “give me a man” because a human without Christ cannot do battle with spiritual entities. I mentioned in an earlier post that too many Christians falsely believe that if they just love someone as Jesus does that that person would be healed or come to Christ. Sadly the demons in those people you are attempting do not receive the Love of Christ as they ONLY respond to Christ’s divine authority! God has no love for demons thus love is of no affect! We do not see or hear of Christians casting out demons because of false teachings, lack of spiritual discernment, no spiritual growth in Christ and no true love of Christ Jesus because if you love what Christ loves you will also hate what Christ hates!

2 Timothy 1:7 (NKJV)

7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

1 Samuel 17 continued

12 Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehem Judah, whose name was Jesse, and who had eight sons. And the man was old, advanced in years, in the days of Saul. 13 The three oldest sons of Jesse had gone to follow Saul to the battle. The names of his three sons who went to the battle were Eliab the firstborn, next to him Abinadab, and the third Shammah. 14 David was the youngest. And the three oldest followed Saul. 15 But David occasionally went and returned from Saul to feed his father’s sheep at Bethlehem.

16 And the Philistine drew near and presented himself forty days, morning and evening.

17 Then Jesse said to his son David, “Take now for your brothers an ephah of this dried grain and these ten loaves, and run to your brothers at the camp. 18 And carry these ten cheeses to the captain of their thousand, and see how your brothers fare, and bring back news of them.” 19 Now Saul and they and all the men of Israel were in the Valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines.

20 So David rose early in the morning, left the sheep with a keeper, and took the things and went as Jesse had commanded him. And he came to the camp as the army was going out to the fight and shouting for the battle. 21 For Israel and the Philistines had drawn up in battle array, army against army. 22 And David left his supplies in the hand of the supply keeper, ran to the army, and came and greeted his brothers. 23 Then as he talked with them, there was the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, coming up from the armies of the Philistines; and he spoke according to the same words. So David heard them. 24 And all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him and were dreadfully afraid. 25 So the men of Israel said, “Have you seen this man who has come up? Surely he has come up to defy Israel; and it shall be that the man who kills him the king will enrich with great riches, will give him his daughter, and give his father’s house exemption from taxes in Israel.”

26 Then David spoke to the men who stood by him, saying, “What shall be done for the man who kills this Philistine and takes away the reproach from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?”

27 And the people answered him in this manner, saying, “So shall it be done for the man who kills him.”

In verses 25 and 26 I want to emphasis that Saul did not have the power to do this as it was the Lord Jesus who called, anointed and commissioned David to be king! The Holy Spirit had already departed from Saul thus David was standing in his calling and anointing even though David was not recognized as King and later we know David did not retaliate against Saul even though Saul sought to kill him. David did not kill Goliath to achieve wealth, prestige or notoriety David did it in service to the Lord. Hope you see a hint of the false prosperity gospel! We serve the Lord for who HE IS not what for what we may obtain from Him. Also notice David stated that Goliath was uncircumcised of the HEART meaning godless and not of Christ Jesus!

28 Now Eliab his oldest brother heard when he spoke to the men; and Eliab’s anger was aroused against David, and he said, “Why did you come down here? And with whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your pride and the insolence of your heart, for you have come down to see the battle.”

I know personally as I have been accused of being prideful, arrogant and lacking humility from demonic religious leaders, leaders of seminary, etc! They HATE AND DESPISE someone who has confidence in Christ Jesus so they accuse you of what is in them and that is what Satan does as Satan is the accuser of the brethren!

29 And David said, “What have I done now? Is there not a cause?” 30 Then he turned from him toward another and said the same thing; and these people answered him as the first ones did.

31 Now when the words which David spoke were heard, they reported them to Saul; and he sent for him. 32 Then David said to Saul, “Let no man’s heart fail because of him; your servant will go and fight with this Philistine.”

33 And Saul said to David, “You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for you are a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.”

There is NO age discrimination in the Kingdom of Heaven/God! I have had many so called professing Christians rebuke me when I started my calling with the Lord as they would make comments that they have been a Christian for 30 years! I was not impressed at all in where they were spiritually for 30 years of proclaiming faith in Christ Jesus! This was pride, arrogance and a form of manipulation and intimidation being used against me which I did NOT embrace or accept.

34 But David said to Saul, “Your servant used to keep his father’s sheep, and when a lion or a bear came and took a lamb out of the flock, 35 I went out after it and struck it, and delivered the lamb from its mouth; and when it arose against me, I caught it by its beard, and struck and killed it. 36 Your servant has killed both lion and bear; and this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, seeing he has defied the armies of the living God.”

What David spoke has great importance and significance in the end hours we are living in. David overcame by the Blood of the Lamb, the Word of his testimony and loved not his life unto death!

Revelation 12:11 (NKJV)

11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.

1 Samuel 17 continued

37 Moreover David said, “The Lord, who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear, He will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine.”

And Saul said to David, “Go, and the Lord be with you!”

38 So Saul clothed David with his armor, and he put a bronze helmet on his head; he also clothed him with a coat of mail. 39 David fastened his sword to his armor and tried to walk, for he had not tested them. And David said to Saul, “I cannot walk with these, for I have not tested them.” So David took them off.

In verse 38 we see David removing all of the false protection such as the helmet, coat of mail and sword! Now if you go back to Genesis 6 as I mentioned in the beginning it was one of the fallen angels who taught men how to make swords, breastplates and do warfare! If you also refer to Ephesians 6 and the “FULL ARMOR” of God is NOT what Saul gave to David! This battle was much more than physical it was SPIRITUAL!

According to religious texts like the Book of Enoch, fallen angels taught humans a variety of forbidden skills, including metallurgy and weapon-making, cosmetics, sorcery and magic, and astrology and divination. These teachings are often presented as leading to increased sin, violence, and corruption on Earth.

Knowledge and skills taught

Warfare and metalworking: Angels like Azazel taught humans how to forge weapons such as swords, knives, and shields, and how to work with metals to create ornaments and armor.

Cosmetics and adornment: They showed humans how to beautify the body, including painting the eyelids and using dyes and costly stones.

Magic and sorcery: Some fallen angels instructed humans in spells, charms, and how to cut roots for medicinal or magical purposes.

Divination and astronomy: Teachings included the interpretation of signs from the sun, moon, clouds, and earth, which is also known as astrology.

Other skills: Depending on the source, other skills mentioned include the creation of jewelry, the use of cosmetics, and even the knowledge of how to cause abortions.

Why these teachings were forbidden

Caused corruption: The knowledge imparted by the fallen angels was seen as corrupting, leading to great impiety, fornication, and violence on Earth.

“Eternal secrets”: These teachings revealed secrets that were meant to be kept in heaven, and human attempts to learn them were seen as an abomination.

Lead to judgment: As a result of these teachings and the resulting corruption, God sent a great flood to cleanse the Earth.

 

1 Samuel 17 continued

40 Then he took his staff in his hand; and he chose for himself five smooth stones from the brook, and put them in a shepherd’s bag, in a pouch which he had, and his sling was in his hand. And he drew near to the Philistine.

Here is where things get more interesting! Five is the number of grace and David picked up five “SMOOTH” stones from the brook. Smooth signifies refinement as Peter states we are “living stones” unto Christ Jesus and the brook would have been the refinement of “living water” and the Holy Spirit within us! The smooth stones were the NEW HEART AND NEW SPIRIT.

1 Peter 2:4–8 (NKJV)

The Chosen Stone and His Chosen People

4 Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious, 5 you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 6 Therefore it is also contained in the Scripture,

“Behold, I lay in Zion

A chief cornerstone, elect, precious,

And he who believes on Him will by no means be put to shame.”

7 Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious; but to those who are disobedient,

“The stone which the builders rejected

Has become the chief cornerstone,”

8 and

“A stone of stumbling

And a rock of offense.”

They stumble, being disobedient to the word, to which they also were appointed.

1 Samuel 17 continued

41 So the Philistine came, and began drawing near to David, and the man who bore the shield went before him. 42 And when the Philistine looked about and saw David, he disdained him; for he was only a youth, ruddy and good-looking. 43 So the Philistine said to David, “Am I a dog, that you come to me with sticks?” And the Philistine cursed David by his gods. 44 And the Philistine said to David, “Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the air and the beasts of the field!”

Notice once again I said this was a spiritual battle and not merely a physical battle! Goliath left the “high place of the mountain” where he summoned his god for power to defeat the Israelite’s. David was on a “high mountain with the Lord Jesus” receiving his power to defeat Goliath! It was a battle between the Lord Jesus the God above all gods against the fallen angels, gods of this world and principalities and powers! While on the subject of principalities I want to briefly mention that Jezebel was not only a spirit but a principality! Jezebel ruled over Israel through Ahab by using Ahab’s authority to do evil! So while Jezebel is a spirit it is also a principality seeking to rule over people, regions and territories and even the church as in Revelation 2!

45 Then David said to the Philistine, “You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. But I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. 46 This day the Lord will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you and take your head from you. And this day I will give the carcasses of the camp of the Philistines to the birds of the air and the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. 47 Then all this assembly shall know that the Lord does not save with sword and spear; for the battle is the Lord’s, and He will give you into our hands.”

48 So it was, when the Philistine arose and came and drew near to meet David, that David hurried and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine. 49 Then David put his hand in his bag and took out a stone; and he slung it and struck the Philistine in his forehead, so that the stone sank into his forehead, and he fell on his face to the earth. 50 So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone, and struck the Philistine and killed him. But there was no sword in the hand of David. 51 Therefore David ran and stood over the Philistine, took his sword and drew it out of its sheath and killed him, and cut off his head with it.

Now think with me here and notice where the rock struck Goliath! The Lord was surely able and capable of sinking that stone through the breastplate into Goliath’s heart but the stone struck Goliath where the “Mark of the Beast” was, on the forehead! When Revelation speaks of the “Mark of the Beast” being on the forehead and/or the right hand what this means is the same as was spoken in Genesis 6! The “Mark of the Beast” is a mind totally given to doing evil and the right hand is representing the power of the beast to do evil! Just as Jesus is seated at the right hand of the Father and has all power and authority! When Revelation says the number of the beast is 666 I believe it is the complete opposite of what Jesus said the first commandment was in the New Testament in Matthew 22:37 as the opposite is the Mark of the Beast! The first 6 is part of a man being your heart, the second 6 is with all your soul and the third 6 would be all your mind. So this the true Mark of the Beast! A born again Christian receives a new heart of flesh and the Holy Spirit which is a new soul and the Word of God through the Spirit of God is renewing our mind! This is why Paul states to cast down the strongholds of our imagination and to “have this mind in you which is of Christ Jesus!

Matthew 22:37 (NKJV)

37 Jesus said to him, “ ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’

2 Corinthians 10:5 (NKJV)

5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,

Philippians 2:5 (NKJV)

The Humbled and Exalted Christ

5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus,

Genesis 6:5 (NKJV)

5 Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

1 Samuel 17 continued

And when the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they fled. 52 Now the men of Israel and Judah arose and shouted, and pursued the Philistines as far as the entrance of the valley and to the gates of Ekron. And the wounded of the Philistines fell along the road to Shaaraim, even as far as Gath and Ekron. 53 Then the children of Israel returned from chasing the Philistines, and they plundered their tents. 54 And David took the head of the Philistine and brought it to Jerusalem, but he put his armor in his tent.

55 When Saul saw David going out against the Philistine, he said to Abner, the commander of the army, “Abner, whose son is this youth?”

And Abner said, “As your soul lives, O king, I do not know.”

56 So the king said, “Inquire whose son this young man is.”

57 Then, as David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, Abner took him and brought him before Saul with the head of the Philistine in his hand. 58 And Saul said to him, “Whose son are you, young man?”

So David answered, “I am the son of your servant Jesse the Bethlehemite.”

So while everyone is looking for a microchip, implantation, tattoo or bar code on the arm or forehead this is NOT the mark of the beast! It comes down to knowing people by the Spirit and Fruit of the Holy Spirit! A physical mark would only be needed for a “carnal person” but people will either by of Christ or AntiChrist which are spirits! Artificial intelligence is going to be used to implement the beast system and one world order but I believe that is why we have RETINA scanning. The eye is the gateway to the soul! Retina scanning will be looking into us, not just at us! I believe if your eyes are full of light it will detect that and if your eyes are filled with darkness it will detect that also! Pride has a look to it, anger has a look to it, hatred and murder has a look to it. If you walk in spiritual discernment you will see what is in the soul! The problem comes to what you want to see verses what the Lord wants to reveal to you! You can feel hatred when someone hates you and in today’s society evil has a boldness about it and makes no hesitation to let you witness, feel and hear the hatred!

Matthew 6:22–23 (NKJV)

22  “The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light. 23 But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!

1 Corinthians 2:15–16 (NKJV)

15 But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one. 16 For “who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ.

1 Corinthians 2:6–16 (NKJV)

Spiritual Wisdom

6 However, we speak wisdom among those who are mature, yet not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. 7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory, 8 which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

9 But as it is written:

“Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,

Nor have entered into the heart of man

The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”

10 But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. 11 For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.

13 These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15 But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one. 16 For “who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ.

Well I hope this has been thought provoking to you and please take this to prayer for spiritual revelations from the Lord. It is the Holy Spirit that bares witness so if what I have posted doesn’t agree with you teachings of men, doctrines of demons please take it to the Lord. In a parting and provoking thought I want all of you to know that I have already been “raptured” as there is NO “rapture” in the bible only the second coming of Christ Jesus! I am raptured because I was delivered from the kingdom of darkness and the god of this world and I am now seated in heavenly place through Christ Jesus. Jesus is seated at the right hand of the Father the place of divine authority and I am seated in Christ Jesus and know and utilize the Authority of Christ to set the captives free! The church has failed to set the captives free they do not cast out demons which keep people bound and property of the devil!

May the Lord bless you, keep you and edify you in His Spirit and Truth! God bless all of my brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus.

UNEATEN BREAD

UNEATEN BREAD

As with any posting from anyone I do my best to try to communicate what is on my heart the best that I can. Please take all matters to the Lord in prayer. It is NOT my will that anyone be deceived. The enemy is after all of us, including me! I pray the Holy Spirit bears witness to all of you. If not then it could be for a different time in your walk with the Lord. DO NOT ACCEPT WHAT THE HOLY SPIRIT DOES NOT REVEAL BUT PRAY INTO IT. God bless the saints of the Lord and may the fullness of His love and spirit dwell and manifest richly within you.

The Lord is having me expand on some previous postings by describing in context of Spirit and Truth of the Word of God about uneaten bread. If you have read some of my postings I often mention that the devil attempts to remove the Spirit of God from the Word of God. The devil doesn’t care if you can recite the bible forwards or backwards, the devil doesn’t want you “born again” in Spirit and Truth or to grow in revelations of Spirit and Truth of God’s Word. Keep this principle in mind throughout this posting. Additionally keep in mind the scriptures of feeding the 5000 where Jesus preached to the multitude as this will conclude spiritual revelations which I will get to as we proceed. Pay attention to the emphasis of the bold words as those scriptures will come together with the feeding the 5000, the five foolish virgins, book of revelation and the body of Christ.

Ezekiel 3 (NKJV)

3 Moreover He said to me, “Son of man, eat what you find; eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel.” 2 So I opened my mouth, and He caused me to eat that scroll.

3 And He said to me, “Son of man, feed your belly, and fill your stomach with this scroll that I give you.” So I ate, and it was in my mouth like honey in sweetness.

4 Then He said to me: “Son of man, go to the house of Israel and speak with My words to them. 5 For you are not sent to a people of unfamiliar speech and of hard language, but to the house of Israel, 6 not to many people of unfamiliar speech and of hard language, whose words you cannot understand. Surely, had I sent you to them, they would have listened to you. 7 But the house of Israel will not listen to you, because they will not listen to Me; for all the house of Israel are impudent and hard-hearted. 8 Behold, I have made your face strong against their faces, and your forehead strong against their foreheads. 9 Like adamant stone, harder than flint, I have made your forehead; do not be afraid of them, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.”

10 Moreover He said to me: “Son of man, receive into your heart all My words that I speak to you, and hear with your ears. 11 And go, get to the captives, to the children of your people, and speak to them and tell them, ‘Thus says the Lord God,’ whether they hear, or whether they refuse.”

12 Then the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me a great thunderous voice: “Blessed is the glory of the Lord from His place!” 13 I also heard the noise of the wings of the living creatures that touched one another, and the noise of the wheels beside them, and a great thunderous noise. 14 So the Spirit lifted me up and took me away, and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit; but the hand of the Lord was strong upon me. 15 Then I came to the captives at Tel Abib, who dwelt by the River Chebar; and I sat where they sat, and remained there astonished among them seven days.

Let me make some comments here and then we can continue with Ezekiel. The very first line the prophet is called the Son of man and we are to be Son’s of God. Eating the scroll is direct reference to the Word of God and speaking to Israel was God’s chosen people which represents the church or corporate body as the gentiles are included. When your heart desires the fullness of the Word of God the Word of God is like honey and sweetness to your heart/soul. Ezekiel was sent to “his own people” but Israel would not listen because they are impudent and hard-hearted. The Spirit of God fortified Ezekiel because Israel was a rebellious house. Now we look at line 10 and scripture clearly tells us that Ezekiel was to receive ALL of the Word of the Lord by eating/consuming the Word of the Lord. We are to speak Spirit and Truth regardless if people hear or refuse to hear the Word of God. The Holy Spirit lifted/took Ezekiel in bitterness in the heat of his spirit but the Lord was strong upon him. The bitterness and heat was not negative but positive as the bitterness was the “strong face and strong forehead” the Lord had given him to stand firm against the opposition of a “rebellious house”. There is a form of godly stubbornness rooted in the righteousness of Christ. How else would you “stand firm” in Ephesians six? Okay now lets continue with the remainder of Ezekiel.

Ezekiel is a Watchman

16 Now it came to pass at the end of seven days that the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 17 “Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; therefore hear a word from My mouth, and give them warning from Me: 18 When I say to the wicked, ‘You shall surely die,’ and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life, that same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at your hand. 19 Yet, if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul.

20 “Again, when a righteous man turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall die; because you did not give him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he has done shall not be remembered; but his blood I will require at your hand. 21 Nevertheless if you warn the righteous man that the righteous should not sin, and he does not sin, he shall surely live because he took warning; also you will have delivered your soul.”

22 Then the hand of the Lord was upon me there, and He said to me, “Arise, go out into the plain, and there I shall talk with you.”

23 So I arose and went out into the plain, and behold, the glory of the Lord stood there, like the glory which I saw by the River Chebar; and I fell on my face. 24 Then the Spirit entered me and set me on my feet, and spoke with me and said to me: “Go, shut yourself inside your house. 25 And you, O son of man, surely they will put ropes on you and bind you with them, so that you cannot go out among them. 26 I will make your tongue cling to the roof of your mouth, so that you shall be mute and not be one to rebuke them, for they are a rebellious house. 27 But when I speak with you, I will open your mouth, and you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God.’ He who hears, let him hear; and he who refuses, let him refuse; for they are a rebellious house.

Let’s finish up with Ezekiel. Notice “seven days” and remember the number seven signifies divine perfection and completeness. Ezekiel stayed for seven days before releasing the Word of God. This is imperative for every one of us. Even though we “know” we must wait upon the Lord to speak by the power and unction of His Spirit. Once the Word became perfected in Ezekiel he would be commissioned to speak the Word of the Lord. Knowledge without Wisdom is destructive. We must have Wisdom and Revelation together so the application will be of the Lord and not of ourselves. Notice it is the Lord who opens and shuts the mouth of His prophets speaking ONLY the Word of the Lord and NOTHING of himself. This is why you hear me often say to walk with the Lord and prophecy or minister for the Lord we MUST surrender the outcome to the Lord. If you can’t surrender the outcome it is the “pride of life” in you which seeks glory and notoriety just as the devil. You have made everything about you and not of the Lord. Jesus is the Alpha and Omega we are not. Now we can go to the book of Revelations and how John eats the book.

Revelation 10 (NKJV)

The Mighty Angel with the Little Book

10 I saw still another mighty angel coming down from heaven, clothed with a cloud. And a rainbow was on his head, his face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire. 2 He had a little book open in his hand. And he set his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land, 3 and cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roars. When he cried out, seven thunders uttered their voices. 4 Now when the seven thunders uttered their voices, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, “Seal up the things which the seven thunders uttered, and do not write them.”

5 The angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land raised up his hand to heaven 6 and swore by Him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and the things that are in it, the earth and the things that are in it, and the sea and the things that are in it, that there should be delay no longer, 7 but in the days of the sounding of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, the mystery of God would be finished, as He declared to His servants the prophets.

John Eats the Little Book

8 Then the voice which I heard from heaven spoke to me again and said, “Go, take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel who stands on the sea and on the earth.”

9 So I went to the angel and said to him, “Give me the little book.”

And he said to me, “Take and eat it; and it will make your stomach bitter, but it will be as sweet as honey in your mouth.”

10 Then I took the little book out of the angel’s hand and ate it, and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth. But when I had eaten it, my stomach became bitter. 11 And he said to me, “You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, tongues, and kings.”

John eats the book given to him by the Lord Jesus we get both bitter in the stomach and yet sweet as honey in your mouth. Just because the Word of God may be “bitter in your stomach” doesn’t mean it should be rejected, despised or not spoken. Think of it this way the Word was like honey in taste going in, but bitter towards it’s outcome. Doesn’t this sound like the Israelites complaining to Moses about “bitter water” in the wilderness. The bitterness was a reflection of their own heart and water represents the Word of God! What I wanted to emphasis so far is how we receive the Word of God is a reflection of “what is in us” that is not of the Lord Jesus. The Word and Spirit are one, so the Holy Spirit in us would and should not have a problem with the Word of God. The Apostle John did not have a personal problem with bitterness himself what he was to speak was the consequences of bitterness he was about to speak to the Israelites. Now let’s broaden our scope of understanding by going to Jesus feeding the five thousand. I have touched on this before in regards to the disciples becoming Apostles but now I want to reflect on the meaning and implications of the “body of Christ”. When you read the scriptures below reflect on the church/body of Christ. I will expound after you read the scriptures.

Matthew 14:13–21 (NKJV)

Jesus Feeds 5,000

Mark 6:31–44; Luke 9:11–17; John 6:1–13

13 When Jesus heard it, He departed from there by boat to a deserted place by Himself. But when the multitudes heard it, they followed Him on foot from the cities. 14 And when Jesus went out He saw a great multitude; and He was moved with compassion for them, and healed their sick. 15 When it was evening, His disciples came to Him, saying, “This is a deserted place, and the hour is already late. Send the multitudes away, that they may go into the villages and buy themselves food.”

16 But Jesus said to them, “They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.”

17 And they said to Him, “We have here only five loaves and two fish.”

18 He said, “Bring them here to Me.” 19 Then He commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass. And He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke and gave the loaves to the disciples; and the disciples gave to the multitudes. 20 So they all ate and were filled, and they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments that remained. 21 Now those who had eaten were about five thousand men, besides women and children.

Now things get more interesting as I expound on the scriptures above. When Jesus went out He went alone but when the multitude heard of this they followed Him. Jesus did NOT ask or command people to follow Him so why did they pursue Him? Let’s reflect on scripture of who these people represent by referring to more scripture.

John 6:44–45 (NKJV)

44 No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day. 45 It is written in the prophets, ‘And they shall all be taught by God.’ Therefore everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me.

We must make this connection that it was the Father who drew the multitude to “come to Jesus”. It was Jesus preaching the Word of God to the multitude because the Father drew them. No one goes to the Father except through Christ Jesus! This is symbolic of the church/body of Christ as Israel was a chosen people.

John 14:6–7 (NKJV)

6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

7 “If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.”

What is the significance of Jesus giving a COMMANDMENT to sit on the grass! The grass thus has an imperative meaning. The grass is a “feeding place” of provision and Jesus wasn’t feeding them regular bread. Jesus was feeding them the Word of God the very Bread of Life! Here is another point to mention concerning the bread. Jesus lifted the bread toward heaven which reflects it was the Father who drew them to Jesus to be fed with the Word of God. It was the Father who multiplied the bread. Everything Jesus did was to reveal the Father and the kingdom of God.

John 6:35 (NKJV)

35 And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.

Now let us consider the uneaten Bread, which is the Word of God. I mentioned in an earlier posting that the twelve disciples picked up the twelve full baskets of the Bread/Word of God that was NOT eaten. The disciples were to be the Apostles full of the Bread of Life which is the Word of God.

So let us address the uneaten bread. If you reflect on the Ezekiel and the Apostle John when told to “eat” the Word of God some was sweet to the mouth while some was bitter to the stomach. The uneaten bread was a reflection of their HEART CONDITION TOWARDS THE WORD OF GOD. Do we not see this today in the body of Christ? Picking and choosing what we desire or don’t desire from the Word of God! This is carnality and the “pride of life” from uncrucified flesh/soul. LET ME SAY THIS BOLDLY AS I HAVE SAID MANY TIMES THE “WORD & SPIRIT OF GOD” ARE ONE! What you refuse in the Word you refuse in the Spirit! So whatever you refuse in the Written Word you will not grow in the Spirit of God! The Lord is coming back for a mature bride and not merely a virgin. You must be filled with the Word of God which is also the Spirit of God. So now lets go back to the parable of sowing seed in soil which is a “heart condition”. Notice the multitudes again which reflects the body of Christ as the Father drew the people to the Son/Jesus. I will add my comments between the scriptures below so you won’t have to scroll the page and hopefully make it easier for you.

Matthew 13:1–23 (NKJV)

Parable of the Soils

Mark 4:1–20; Luke 8:4–15

13 On the same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the sea. 2 And great multitudes were gathered together to Him, so that He got into a boat and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.

Remember the multitude was drawn by the Father. Also take notice the Jesus was in the boat which was on Water which Water and Word are one of the same. The multitude was on dry land.

Psalm 63:1 (NKJV)

1 O God, You are my God;

Early will I seek You;

My soul thirsts for You;

My flesh longs for You

In a dry and thirsty land

Where there is no water.

3 Then He spoke many things to them in parables, saying: “Behold, a sower went out to sow. 4 And as he sowed, some seed fell by the wayside; and the birds came and devoured them. 5 Some fell on stony places, where they did not have much earth; and they immediately sprang up because they had no depth of earth. 6 But when the sun was up they were scorched, and because they had no root they withered away. 7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up and choked them. 8 But others fell on good ground and yielded a crop: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. 9 He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”

Stony places is in direct reference to the human heart. Scripture tells us that we have a heart of stone and need a heart of flesh. This is why the ten commandments was written on tablets of stone, it symbolized the condition of the human heart! Jesus said in the gospels that He would write His Word upon our hearts! When the sun is mentioned the seed withered away because the Word of God did not take root, it was superficial and NOT DIGESTED as Ezekiel and John had eaten and digested the Word of God. The thorns refers to disobedience, sin, hardship or in essence “false Christians/brethren” as the wheat and tares (good and evil) are sown together until the “harvest”. The false preachers and Christians/brethren can choke the Word of God within the assembling of the saints and thus Jesus says come out from among them. Mystery Babylon is the Harlot Church. This may sound contrary to what is preached today but take it back to Pentecost and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit as they were assembled in ONE ACCORD. This is why we must not be deceived. Judas was among the other disciples just as there are many who are not of the Lord in the house of the Lord. It’s bad enough there are wolves in sheep’s clothing in the pulpits but there are also thorns and thistles, wheat and tares in the pews.

10 And the disciples came and said to Him, “Why do You speak to them in parables?”

11 He answered and said to them, “Because it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given. 12 For whoever has, to him more will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him. 13 Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand. 14 And in them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says:

When you read line thirteen reflect on what Jesus spoke to the Pharisees that because they said they see their sin remained! Later Jesus would warn the disciples to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees.

‘Hearing you will hear and shall not understand,

And seeing you will see and not perceive;

15 For the hearts of this people have grown dull.

Their ears are hard of hearing,

And their eyes they have closed,

Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears,

Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn,

So that I should heal them.’

Closed eyes and ears will NOT be healed!

16 But blessed are your eyes for they see, and your ears for they hear; 17 for assuredly, I say to you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.

18 “Therefore hear the parable of the sower: 19 When anyone hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understand it, then the wicked one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is he who received seed by the wayside. 20 But he who received the seed on stony places, this is he who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy; 21 yet he has no root in himself, but endures only for a while. For when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles. 22 Now he who received seed among the thorns is he who hears the word, and the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful. 23 But he who received seed on the good ground is he who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.”

We have established that the Word and Spirit of God are ONE so we can now continue to the story of the ten virgins. I had posted on this a few years ago but now I want to you see how UNEATEN BREAD was the problem with the foolish virgins as BREAD/WORD AND SPIRIT ARE ONE!

I have heard much foolishness about the five foolish virgins not being born again and this is totally untrue. How would they be virgins without being born again and secondly how would they come to the wedding ceremony if the Father didn’t draw them to the Son. The Holy Spirit is the invitation and you must be born again to attend the wedding ceremony. You must be filled with the Word, Spirit and love of God to be the bride.

Matthew 25:1–13 (NKJV)

Parable of the Ten Virgins

25 “Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2 Now five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 3 Those who were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them, 4 but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 5 But while the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept.

6 “And at midnight a cry was heard: ‘Behold, the bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him!’ 7 Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. 8 And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ 9 But the wise answered, saying, ‘No, lest there should not be enough for us and you; but go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.’ 10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut.

11 “Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’ 12 But he answered and said, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.’

13 “Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.

Notice that the foolish had no oil which is the Holy Spirit while the wise took oil in their VESSELS with their lamps. Also notice what the wise virgins answered to go to “those who sell”. This reflects “worldliness” as the Holy Spirit can not be marketed or purchased! The foolish even went out to purchase oil.

Now if you reflect on this posting from beginning to end and realize that the Word of God and Spirit of God are ONE you will understand that uneaten bread will not get you to everlasting life. You must be filled with the Word and Spirit of the Lord Jesus. This is why I repeatedly state the devil doesn’t care if you can recite the Word of God forward and backwards. The devil doesn’t want you born again and being filled with the Word of God. Whatever you refuse from what is “WRITTEN” you eliminate in your life in the Holy Spirit.

Taking this back to the garden of Eden and the fall of Adam let’s reflect on a couple of points from a previous posting of mine. Adam was told NOT to partake of the tree of knowledge of good and evil or he would die. So, “what is death where there was no death” and “what is a flood where there is no rain”. The problem is that you must have faith and belief in ALL OF THE WORD OF GOD. When you refuse to believe the truth of ALL of God’s Word you are not conforming to Spirit and Truth. When you believe the lies of wolves in sheep’s clothing you are not conforming to Christ Jesus and worshiping in Spirit and Truth. It only took ONE lie for humanity to fall and when you listen to lies perceived as truth without a witness from the Holy Spirit you have already fallen into deception. Jesus warned over and over do NOT be deceived.

I hope you have received spiritual revelations and will be enlightened and understand that when anyone twist, distorts or outwardly denies the Word of God do NOT listen or follow them. There is only ONE source of Spirit and Truth, Christ Jesus.

John 14:6–7 (NKJV)

6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

7 “If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.”

In closing I want to remind you that Water and Word are the same and rivers of living Water in you is the Word and Spirit of God. What the wise virgins had was rivers of Living Water which is the Word and Spirit of God. I also want you to reflect on the warning in Revelations about adding or subtracting from the Word of God. What you refuse to “eat/digest” and let take root is subtracting from the Word of God! How is it people claim to have faith unto salvation but at the same time do not have faith to believe that all of the Word of God is true? This the same principle when Adam stopped having faith and belief in the Word of God and believed Eve who was deceived. What/who you follow you worship! This is why Jesus said the day has come that His people will worship Him in Spirit and Truth as this needed to be restored through the life, death and resurrection of Jesus. Adam did not know what “death” really was but he needed to believe that EVERY WORD OF GOD IS TRUE! This is exactly what Jesus stated to Satan in the wilderness!

Matthew 4:4 (NKJV)

4 But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ ”

Revelation 22:18–19 (NKJV)

A Warning

18 For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; 19 and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

When you add any false scripture/beliefs or lies you add the plagues that are Written in the Word of God upon you. When you take away from the Word of God your name will be taken out of the book of life. These are serious warnings and Truth.

When you believe and support a pre-tribulation rapture you condemn yourself to the plagues of the Written Word! This is what I call a “spiritual paradox” just as Satan telling Eve she surely would not die. The pre-tribulation is a lie and deceives you into thinking you are saving your life when you will lose your life suffering the plagues because you added to the Word of God. You are not preparing yourself spiritually to overcome without spot or wrinkle.

Don’t be deceived believing that when corruption puts on incorruption, and mortal puts on immortality that you receive more of the Holy Spirit. You should have already been fully prepared and filled with the Holy Spirit. NOWHERE in those verses does it mention more of the Holy Spirit. It relates to a heavenly body because flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God.

1 Corinthians 15:50–54 (NKJV)

Our Final Victory

50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption. 51 Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed—52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54 So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.”

Salvation is all or nothing just as Jesus is Lord of all of your life or none of your life. If you discard the Bread of Life you will be discarded from the Father. If you deny Jesus which is the WORD IN FULLNESS Jesus will deny you before the Father.

Colossians 2:1–10 (NKJV)

Not Philosophy But Christ

2 For I want you to know what a great conflict I have for you and those in Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh, 2 that their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, and attaining to all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the knowledge of the mystery of God, both of the Father and of Christ, 3 in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

4 Now this I say lest anyone should deceive you with persuasive words. 5 For though I am absent in the flesh, yet I am with you in spirit, rejoicing to see your good order and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ.

6 As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, 7 rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.

8 Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ. 9 For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; 10 and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.

CARRIERS OF COVENANT AND THE WORD OF GOD

CARRIES OF COVENANT AND THE WORD OF GOD

As with any posting from anyone I do my best to try to communicate what is on my heart the best that I can. Please take all matters to the Lord in prayer. It is NOT my will that anyone be deceived. The enemy is after all of us, including me! I pray the Holy Spirit bears witness to all of you. If not then it could be for a different time in your walk with the Lord. DO NOT ACCEPT WHAT THE HOLY SPIRIT DOES NOT REVEAL BUT PRAY INTO IT. God bless the saints of the Lord and may the fullness of His love and spirit dwell and manifest richly within you.

Let us start at the beginning of creation so we can set the foundation of truth. It is imperative that you pay attention to the sequence of creation because in line two you might think the earth was already created and it was not. Also in line number two “the deep” refers to Water and Word because everything was created by the Word of God. You will see later that “Water, Word and Spirit” are ONE in Christ Jesus. Okay lets get started by reading Genesis 1:1-10.

Genesis 1:1–10 (NKJV)

The History of Creation

1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.

3 Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. 4 And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day.

6 Then God said, “Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.” 7 Thus God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament; and it was so. 8 And God called the firmament Heaven. So the evening and the morning were the second day.

9 Then God said, “Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear”; and it was so. 10 And God called the dry land Earth, and the gathering together of the waters He called Seas. And God saw that it was good.

In line six we see that God created a firmament in the midst of the waters (deep) and it divided waters from the waters. Also notice that “were” is italicized in your bible as I italicized all of scripture to make it stand out from my writings. God separated the Water/Word by firmament and created Heaven. When we read line nine we see that the waters under heaven gathered into one place and “dry land” appeared God called the dry land Earth. Okay, so now that we have established this we can see that the waters above as well as below the firmament are the Water and Word of God.

Proverbs 18:4 (NKJV)

4 The words of a man’s mouth are deep waters;

The wellspring of wisdom is a flowing brook.

So let us now reflect on Noah’s Arc and what the Arc represents and who the person of Noah reflects. We know that Noah was a preacher of righteousness which is the Word of God. We know that God told Noah to build the Ark so it was God who created the Ark by the hands of Noah. God was about to destroy the earth by the flood and Noah was the carrier of the Word of God in the Ark of the Covenant! The Ark represents the Covenant as we know God told Noah when you see the rainbow it is the NEW Covenant.

Genesis 9:12–17 (NKJV)

12 And God said: “This is the sign of the covenant which I make between Me and you, and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: 13 I set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between Me and the earth. 14 It shall be, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow shall be seen in the cloud; 15 and I will remember My covenant which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. 16 The rainbow shall be in the cloud, and I will look on it to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.” 17 And God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that is on the earth.”

Now remember the correlation between Noah and Covenant by means of the Ark. Now we can look into the person of Moses.

We know Moses as an infant was to be killed by order of Pharaoh. However Moses mother created an “Ark of bulrushes” for him and laid it in the reeds by the river’s bank. Notice “ark of bulrushes” as this is similar to Noah’s Ark carrying the Word of God and the Covenant of God!

Exodus 1:22–2:10 (NKJV)

22 So Pharaoh commanded all his people, saying, “Every son who is born you shall cast into the river, and every daughter you shall save alive.”

Moses is Born

2 And a man of the house of Levi went and took as wife a daughter of Levi. 2 So the woman conceived and bore a son. And when she saw that he was a beautiful child, she hid him three months. 3 But when she could no longer hide him, she took an ark of bulrushes for him, daubed it with asphalt and pitch, put the child in it, and laid it in the reeds by the river’s bank. 4 And his sister stood afar off, to know what would be done to him.

5 Then the daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe at the river. And her maidens walked along the riverside; and when she saw the ark among the reeds, she sent her maid to get it. 6 And when she opened it, she saw the child, and behold, the baby wept. So she had compassion on him, and said, “This is one of the Hebrews’ children.”

7 Then his sister said to Pharaoh’s daughter, “Shall I go and call a nurse for you from the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for you?”

8 And Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Go.” So the maiden went and called the child’s mother. 9 Then Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Take this child away and nurse him for me, and I will give you your wages.” So the woman took the child and nursed him. 10 And the child grew, and she brought him to Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son. So she called his name Moses, saying, “Because I drew him out of the water.”

We must notice in line one of chapter two the bloodline of Levi of Moses parents which is the royal priesthood. The “Ark of bulrushes” is what carried Moses and Moses was to be the person carrying the Word and Covenant of God. Moses would prophecy of  the “ONE TO COME” which would be the Lord Jesus. So now you see that Noah’s Ark and the Ark of Bulrushes” are one of the same as carries of the Word and Covenant ABOVE THE WATERS OF THE EARTH. This is an essential point of mention, above the waters of the earth as in Genesis mentioned earlier as the Water and Word are one of the Same, Christ Jesus.

Now let’s look at King David who was a carrier of the Covenant and Word of God which was the presence of God. Through David the Lord made a Covenant.

2 Samuel 6:1–23 (NKJV)

The Ark Brought to Jerusalem

6 Again David gathered all the choice men of Israel, thirty thousand. 2 And David arose and went with all the people who were with him from Baale Judah to bring up from there the ark of God, whose name is called by the Name, the Lord of Hosts, who dwells between the cherubim. 3 So they set the ark of God on a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab, which was on the hill; and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drove the new cart. 4 And they brought it out of the house of Abinadab, which was on the hill, accompanying the ark of God; and Ahio went before the ark. 5 Then David and all the house of Israel played music before the Lord on all kinds of instruments of fir wood, on harps, on stringed instruments, on tambourines, on sistrums, and on cymbals.

6 And when they came to Nachon’s threshing floor, Uzzah put out his hand to the ark of God and took hold of it, for the oxen stumbled. 7 Then the anger of the Lord was aroused against Uzzah, and God struck him there for his error; and he died there by the ark of God. 8 And David became angry because of the Lord’s outbreak against Uzzah; and he called the name of the place Perez Uzzah to this day.

9 David was afraid of the Lord that day; and he said, “How can the ark of the Lord come to me?” 10 So David would not move the ark of the Lord with him into the City of David; but David took it aside into the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite. 11 The ark of the Lord remained in the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite three months. And the Lord blessed Obed-Edom and all his household.

12 Now it was told King David, saying, “The Lord has blessed the house of Obed-Edom and all that belongs to him, because of the ark of God.” So David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-Edom to the City of David with gladness. 13 And so it was, when those bearing the ark of the Lord had gone six paces, that he sacrificed oxen and fatted sheep. 14 Then David danced before the Lord with all his might; and David was wearing a linen ephod. 15 So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the Lord with shouting and with the sound of the trumpet.

16 Now as the ark of the Lord came into the City of David, Michal, Saul’s daughter, looked through a window and saw King David leaping and whirling before the Lord; and she despised him in her heart. 17 So they brought the ark of the Lord, and set it in its place in the midst of the tabernacle that David had erected for it. Then David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the Lord. 18 And when David had finished offering burnt offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord of hosts. 19 Then he distributed among all the people, among the whole multitude of Israel, both the women and the men, to everyone a loaf of bread, a piece of meat, and a cake of raisins. So all the people departed, everyone to his house.

20 Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, “How glorious was the king of Israel today, uncovering himself today in the eyes of the maids of his servants, as one of the base fellows shamelessly uncovers himself!”

21 So David said to Michal, “It was before the Lord, who chose me instead of your father and all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of the Lord, over Israel. Therefore I will play music before the Lord. 22 And I will be even more undignified than this, and will be humble in my own sight. But as for the maidservants of whom you have spoken, by them I will be held in honor.”

23 Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no children to the day of her death.

I did a posting earlier about walking on water and now I’d like to bring more to that posting. Notice the name Moses means “out of the water”! Okay, now lets go to Jesus walking on water again.

Matthew 14:25–33 (NKJV)

25 Now in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking on the sea. 26 And when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, “It is a ghost!” And they cried out for fear.

27 But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Be of good cheer! It is I; do not be afraid.”

28 And Peter answered Him and said, “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.”

29 So He said, “Come.” And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus. 30 But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!”

31 And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?” 32 And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased.

33 Then those who were in the boat came and worshiped Him, saying, “Truly You are the Son of God.”

Now from what I have spoken about Genesis and the “deep” waters being separated by firmament and the Waters and Word are ONE you can see how Noah, Moses, David and Jesus were carriers of Covenant and Word as well as Jesus being the incarnate Word in Flesh. You can also see how Jesus sustained their mortal lives through floods, pestilence, plagues and rulers. Jesus walking on water was symbolic of Jesus’ baptism by John the baptist. Jesus came up out of the “Water which was the Word of God” thus Jesus walked on water. Jesus rose above the firmament which separated the “deep” waters in Genesis. Above the firmament was heaven below the firmament was the earth yet both were “Water and Word”. This is how Jesus makes a bold statement He was not of this World and us being born again come up out of the Water & Word raised above the firmament into the Kingdom of Heaven no longer in the kingdom of darkness!

Matthew 3:13–17 (NKJV)

Baptism of Jesus

Mark 1:9–11; Luke 3:21–23

13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan to be baptized by him. 14 And John tried to prevent Him, saying, “I need to be baptized by You, and are You coming to me?”

15 But Jesus answered and said to him, “Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he allowed Him.

16 When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him. 17 And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”

This is what happens through true repentance and Water and Spirit baptism we emerge from Water and Word which is Christ Jesus. We emerge with an open heaven! We have access to the Father through Christ Jesus! Jesus was demonstrating what was awaiting those who are baptized with Water and Spirit to the disciples. Remember initially Peter did walk on water but when Peter took his focus off Jesus and focused on the storm it inhibited Peter from continuing walking on the water. When Christ Jesus was pierced with the spear on the cross Water & Blood came out of Him. Water and Word are One in Christ Jesus. Jesus told the woman at the well that He could give her LIVING WATER.

Philippians 4:6–7 (NKJV)

6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

So if we focus on Philippians 4:6-7 we see that “peace” was challenged and when peace is challenged it is from one to three sources. One being our adversary the devil attacking our peace in Christ by spiritual conflict, secondly relying on our own abilities, worries or concerns and third an attack on our faith/belief! We must have unwavering faith in Spirit and Truth according to the Word of God and Spirit of God that conquerors the enemy and helps us trust fully in Jesus.

In 2 Samuel 8 we know that the Lord made a covenant with David and that the incarnate Christ Jesus would come from the bloodline of David. I hope you see who Noah on Water, Moses on Water, David with the Ark and Jesus walking on water all represent “Covenant & Word” as Jesus came to be our blood covenant as the sacrificial Lamb. Noah’s Ark, Moses Ark of Bulrushes, David with the Ark of the Lord and Jesus walking on Water as Jesus was the Water and Word made flesh and was the NEW COVENANT being the “Blood Covenant” of the sacrificial Lamb.

I have provided some more scriptures to support the “Water, Word and Spirit” as being ONE. I will continue after you read a few scriptures.

John 3:5 (NKJV)

5 Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.

John 7:37–38 (NKJV)

Christ Reveals the “Living Water”

37 On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. 38 He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.”

John 19:34 (NKJV)

34 But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.

Ephesians 5:26 (NKJV)

26 that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word,

So we have gone from Genesis to Noah, Moses, David and Jesus. Now let’s go from Jesus to the disciples to finish this part of the post. Let’s read about Jesus feeding the 5000 and the 12 disciples roles in this. It is important to see the final stages of the fulfillment of Jesus being the Blood Covenant and the fulfillment of His death, burial, resurrection and ascension. Pay attention to the words in bold type.

Matthew 14:14–21 (NKJV)

14 And when Jesus went out He saw a great multitude; and He was moved with compassion for them, and healed their sick. 15 When it was evening, His disciples came to Him, saying, “This is a deserted place, and the hour is already late. Send the multitudes away, that they may go into the villages and buy themselves food.”

16 But Jesus said to them, “They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.”

17 And they said to Him, “We have here only five loaves and two fish.”

18 He said, “Bring them here to Me.” 19 Then He commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass. And He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke and gave the loaves to the disciples; and the disciples gave to the multitudes. 20 So they all ate and were filled, and they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments that remained. 21 Now those who had eaten were about five thousand men, besides women and children.

I highlighted line 14 because I wanted to emphasis that Jesus was moved with compassion. Consider John 3:16 and Christ slain before the foundation of the world. Additionally these were “unsaved” not born again people and Jesus had compassion and care for them. So how much more at the end of the age will Jesus provide for His church/bride! Those that are TRULY His.

In line 16 Jesus gives the disciples instruction to give them something to eat. Isn’t this the same as Jesus telling Peter “feed my sheep” when Jesus restored Peter in love! Line 17 states there were 5 loaves of bread and bread being the Word of God from the Bread of Life Christ Jesus because Jesus multiplied the bread so it was divine bread! Five is the number of GRACE and the bread was the Word of God. The disciples were each told to pick up 12 FULL baskets of fragments. Notice the word FULL. This represented the grace of God with each of the disciples FULL OF THE WORD OF GOD. This would be the great commission of Matthew 28 and once Pentecost came they were filled with the Holy Spirit and everything the Lord had taught them the Holy Spirit would bring back to their remembrance. This is why I tell people when you receive revelations from the Holy Spirit they are eternal and NOT subject to your soul which would be your mind but the mind of Christ being built within you by the Holy Spirit. The disciples were to become Apostles carriers of the gospel of Christ Jesus the blood covenant of reconciliation with the Father through “Christ Crucified”. I mentioned in an early posting about needing 12 witnesses to fulfill “legal” requirements of baring witness. The 12 disciples fulfilled that requirement and became Apostles when the Lord breathed The Holy Spirit on them.

John 14:26–27 (NKJV)

26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. 27 Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Now I will begin to conclude this post as I hope you can see the “carriers of covenant” and the “Ark of Covenant” all the way to the Incarnate Christ who came to be our sacrificial lamb for the Blood Covenant.

Now I hope you see greater revelations of truth and how the Lord’s Word is faithful and true. I’d like you to consider what I have revealed and shared above and now apply it to the coming of the Lord and the pestilence, plagues and fire that will come upon the earth before the return of the Lord Jesus. With this in mind focus on the flood and Noah, the plagues of Egypt not affecting Moses and David conquering kingdoms for the Lord. The end of the age to come is with pestilence, plagues, fire and kingdoms against the Kingdom of the Lord Jesus. Think back and remember the three Hebrew men in the fiery furnace who were not burned neither smelled of smoke and apply this knowledge to the end of the age and being able to stand in the fire to come. All those who have been taught and believe the false doctrine of the per-tribulation rapture are NOT being prepared spiritually to overcome what is developing and to come upon the earth. Their faith is based in a lie and the Lord will not empower a lie as the Lord only empowers His Spirit and Truth. They embrace an illusion of living their best life now and embrace this world and the teachings of this world. They do not seek revelations of Truth from the Lord. The blind leading the blind. Meditate on the scriptures below and see how the Lord will sustain those that are completely His who have prepared themselves spiritually to overcome. I pray you receive revelations of Truth and repent for believing lies and following wolves in sheep’s clothing or leaning on your own understanding. You are following your own “pride of life” and not the truth of scripture.

Isaiah 43:2 (NKJV)

2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;

And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you.

When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned,

Nor shall the flame scorch you.

Psalm 66:12 (NKJV)

12 You have caused men to ride over our heads;

We went through fire and through water;

But You brought us out to rich fulfillment.

Psalm 23 (NKJV)

Psalm 23

The Lord The Shepherd of His People

A Psalm of David.

1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures;

He leads me beside the still waters.

3 He restores my soul;

He leads me in the paths of righteousness

For His name’s sake.

4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,

I will fear no evil;

For You are with me;

Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;

You anoint my head with oil;

My cup runs over.

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me

All the days of my life;

And I will dwell in the house of the Lord

Forever.

Psalm 91 (NKJV)

Psalm 91

Safety of Abiding in the Presence of God

1 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High

Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress;

My God, in Him I will trust.”

3 Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler

And from the perilous pestilence.

4 He shall cover you with His feathers,

And under His wings you shall take refuge;

His truth shall be your shield and buckler.

5 You shall not be afraid of the terror by night,

Nor of the arrow that flies by day,

6 Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness,

Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.

7 A thousand may fall at your side,

And ten thousand at your right hand;

But it shall not come near you.

8 Only with your eyes shall you look,

And see the reward of the wicked.

9 Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge,

Even the Most High, your dwelling place,

10 No evil shall befall you,

Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;

11 For He shall give His angels charge over you,

To keep you in all your ways.

12 In their hands they shall bear you up,

Lest you dash your foot against a stone.

13 You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra,

The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.

14 “Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him;

I will set him on high, because he has known My name.

15 He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him;

I will be with him in trouble;

I will deliver him and honor him.

16 With long life I will satisfy him,

And show him My salvation.”

Zechariah 2 (NKJV)

Vision of the Measuring Line

2 Then I raised my eyes and looked, and behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand. 2 So I said, “Where are you going?”

And he said to me, “To measure Jerusalem, to see what is its width and what is its length.”

3 And there was the angel who talked with me, going out; and another angel was coming out to meet him, 4 who said to him, “Run, speak to this young man, saying: ‘Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls, because of the multitude of men and livestock in it. 5 For I,’ says the Lord, ‘will be a wall of fire all around her, and I will be the glory in her midst.’ ”

Future Joy of Zion and Many Nations

6 “Up, up! Flee from the land of the north,” says the Lord; “for I have spread you abroad like the four winds of heaven,” says the Lord. 7 “Up, Zion! Escape, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon.”

8 For thus says the Lord of hosts: “He sent Me after glory, to the nations which plunder you; for he who touches you touches the apple of His eye. 9 For surely I will shake My hand against them, and they shall become spoil for their servants. Then you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent Me.

10 “Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion! For behold, I am coming and I will dwell in your midst,” says the Lord. 11 “Many nations shall be joined to the Lord in that day, and they shall become My people. And I will dwell in your midst. Then you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent Me to you. 12 And the Lord will take possession of Judah as His inheritance in the Holy Land, and will again choose Jerusalem. 13 Be silent, all flesh, before the Lord, for He is aroused from His holy habitation!”

In my time with the Lord today the revelation of Moses Ark of bulrushes was given to me and it brought me all the way back to genesis to revelations as “Jesus is our Ark” or “Dwelling Place” and those that dwell in Him shall be protected from the pestilence, plagues, fires and destruction to come.

It was the Lord that “shut Noah in the Ark”, it was the Lord that delivered Moses from the death of Pharaoh as an infant, it was the Lord who slew the giants and kings for David and it is the Lord who will keep us from the onslaught of our enemies and the coming destruction.

I hope you have been enlightened, encouraged and edified to “stand firm” in Spirit and Truth and witness the hand of the Lord in your life and redemption.

Isaiah 66:14–24 (NKJV)

The Reign and Indignation of God

14 When you see this, your heart shall rejoice,

And your bones shall flourish like grass;

The hand of the Lord shall be known to His servants,

And His indignation to His enemies.

15 For behold, the Lord will come with fire

And with His chariots, like a whirlwind,

To render His anger with fury,

And His rebuke with flames of fire.

16 For by fire and by His sword

The Lord will judge all flesh;

And the slain of the Lord shall be many.

17 “Those who sanctify themselves and purify themselves,

To go to the gardens

After an idol in the midst,

Eating swine’s flesh and the abomination and the mouse,

Shall be consumed together,” says the Lord.

18 “For I know their works and their thoughts. It shall be that I will gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come and see My glory. 19 I will set a sign among them; and those among them who escape I will send to the nations: to Tarshish and Pul and Lud, who draw the bow, and Tubal and Javan, to the coastlands afar off who have not heard My fame nor seen My glory. And they shall declare My glory among the Gentiles. 20 Then they shall bring all your brethren for an offering to the Lord out of all nations, on horses and in chariots and in litters, on mules and on camels, to My holy mountain Jerusalem,” says the Lord, “as the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of the Lord. 21 And I will also take some of them for priests and Levites,” says the Lord.

22 “For as the new heavens and the new earth

Which I will make shall remain before Me,” says the Lord,

“So shall your descendants and your name remain.

23 And it shall come to pass

That from one New Moon to another,

And from one Sabbath to another,

All flesh shall come to worship before Me,” says the Lord.

24 “And they shall go forth and look

Upon the corpses of the men

Who have transgressed against Me.

For their worm does not die,

And their fire is not quenched.

They shall be an abhorrence to all flesh.”

RAPTURED IN CHRIST JESUS

RAPTURED IN CHRIST JESUS

Let me start off by saying that the revelations I received today I could write a book as these revelations and principles apply all through the Word of God and biblical history. These revelations are already written and contained in the Holy Scriptures. We must pursue the wisdom of God and not the teachings and wisdom of men/women. This statement is not meant to be offensive but it is the truth. That is why we meditate on the Word of God and not just read the Word of God. It is the Holy Spirit that gives revelations of God’s Word and by His grace and Spirit we can receive revelation of His Word. The Lord gave me much more but what I have written here is what started the Spiritual Revelations to flow. I pray you will receive revelations in Spirit and Truth.

While the title of this posting includes the topic of the rapture there is much more needed to reveal to render understanding regarding the rapture. I will bring to you what the Lord has revealed to me in Spirit and Truth but I won’t have time to expound and completely address some of those points at this time. Otherwise I would have to write a book instead of a short story. I ask you to seek the Lord on matters that I do not expound on but I will give you thoughts to consider in your time with the Lord.

Today as I was meditating with the Lord I was once again was troubled in my spirit about the lack of love, faith and trust in the Lord and the Truth of His Written Word that I read online and have seen in the church. These virtues of the Lord Jesus should be as a three stranded cord the scriptures tell us about. This is why I am so troubled by what I read online in peoples statements as when ONE virtue falls short it compromises all of the virtues of Christ Jesus. So I began to go back to the beginning which was Genesis as any “detective” searching for truth would do. In my Spirit I was called to the fall of humanity. In my spirit it was as if I was there personally which is possible with the Lord regardless of anyone’s belief or lack of.

Ecclesiastes 4:12 (NKJV)

12 Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him.

And a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

Let’s begin:

Jesus told Adam about the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Adam later told Eve about this same knowledge. They were told if they partook of the forbidden fruit they would die.

Genesis 2:16–17 (NKJV)

16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; 17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”

Now pause there for a moment. Eve had not yet been created yet as we know in scripture. We do not exactly know how long Adam was alive before Eve but we can determine it was for some time before the Lord said it was not good for the man to be alone.

Genesis 2:18–23 (NKJV)

18 And the Lord God said, “It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him.” 19 Out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them. And whatever Adam called each living creature, that was its name. 20 So Adam gave names to all cattle, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field. But for Adam there was not found a helper comparable to him.

21 And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place. 22 Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man.

23 And Adam said:

“This is now bone of my bones

And flesh of my flesh;

She shall be called Woman,

Because she was taken out of Man.”

Now that we have established God’s divine order of man before woman lets expound on how the Devil got to Adam. We know the devil came to Eve and made the fruit appealing to her not only naturally but spiritually because the true word of God was twisted, manipulated, and lies and deception were spoken denying the truth about the forbidden fruit causing DEATH. The devil is the father of lies, he is a lying spirit so his words had spiritual powers of deception.

When Eve later presented the forbidden fruit to Adam he partook of the forbidden fruit. Now let’s look at how crafty and cunning the serpent really is. The devil perverted the LOVE OF GOD. You may not see it yet but you will. The serpent presented the fruit as sensual love which is NOT godly love. What did Jezebel do when Jehu arrived, she adorned herself to appear sensual. What happened to Sampson with the sensuality of Delilah? Does this sound familiar!

In my travels I have witnessed many spiritual manifestations and I can tell you this, the HOLY SPIRIT is NOT CARNAL and will not appear or manifest as sensual love! I have seen false mimicking spirits that are sensual and not the Holy Spirit. There was an old song and the lyrics said something like this. “I’m hooked on a feeling and I am high on believing” and that is what this false manifestation spirit does. People are under the illusion and deception that this is the Holy Spirit and it is from the Devil! Okay like I said I won’t go to far on this but it needed to be said.

Let’s get back to the fall in the garden. Adam had divine/agape love for God but when Eve came Adam loved the Eve also, in fact it was Adam that called her woman. When Eve presented Adam with the forbidden fruit she presented it just as the devil presented it to her, sensual because Eve had already fallen. What was presented to Adam by Eve was sensual love because she had already fallen. Not all love is the same there is only one form of Godly love. Just because a man is attracted to a woman doesn’t mean the man has godly love for that woman and it’s the same with a woman loving a man. Intimacy with your spouse should NEVER be put above or before your intimacy and love with the Lord!

This is why in 1 Corinthians 7 Paul expounds of husbands and wives and loving as Christ loves his church. I suggest you read this whole chapter so you will understand that Paul is addressing the original sin from the garden of Eden. Now Eve was deceived but Adam was NOT deceived. Now ladies do not take this as offensive but several years ago the Lord spoke to me and said to me as I was meditating, “I did not come back as the second Eve, I came as the second Adam.” Ladies please hear what I am about to say because this is a controversial subject today regarding divine order. Adam was Eve’s spiritual covering. In 1 Corinthians 7 Paul talks about if one spouse is not of the faith/believing and the other spouse is of faith/believing, then that spouse is the covering for the unsaved/unbelieving spouse. So before Adam fell, Adam was a “covering for Eve”even though she had fallen. When Adam fell the covering was removed, thus both fell. So IF the Lord came as the second Eve that would have meant Adam would not have been restored and the divine order needed to be restored. By coming as the second Adam everything that preceded after Adam could be restored. The original created order needed to be re-established.

So men build up your wives in the ways of the Lord and wives build up your husband in the ways of the Lord and stop letting the Devil destroy your marriage. Stop blaming one another and get Christ Centered, and put Christ first and foremost in your marriage honoring and adhering to God’s Covenant of Marriage. Paul is addressing the original sin and it is Paul who said the mystery of iniquity/lawlessness was given unto him. Paul is talking about how Adam fell by loving Eve more than God. So whatever a man or woman follows is what they worship. Adam chose to worship Eve, it was sensual love and not Agape love. This is why a spirit of “lust” masquerades of love. Jesus told the woman at the well the time was coming and was here now that HIS people would worship in Spirit and Truth. Adam fell from Truth, he knew the truth but denied the truth. What you follow whether right or wrong is what you worship in spirit. If you are following lies, what spirit are you worshiping? God’s Spirit is Truth! Shortly I will tie this all together from the book of Genesis all the way to the topic of the rapture.  Bear with me a little longer.

2 Thessalonians 2:7 (NKJV)

7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way.

Now let us look at the exchange Jesus had with Peter when the Lord asked Peter if Peter loved the Lord.

John 21:15–18 (NKJV)

Christ Speaks to Peter

15 So when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me more than these?”

He said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I love You.”

He said to him, “Feed My lambs.”

16 He said to him again a second time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me?”

He said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I love You.”

He said to him, “Tend My sheep.”

17 He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me?” Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, “Do you love Me?”

And he said to Him, “Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You.”

Jesus said to him, “Feed My sheep. 18 Most assuredly, I say to you, when you were younger, you girded yourself and walked where you wished; but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will gird you and carry you where you do not wish.”

Peter had to be restored to Godly love verses brotherly love. Brotherly love in retrospect is no different than Adam choosing Eve over the Lord. Adam’s love for Eve superseded the love for God! It takes Godly love, the very love of Jesus and nothing short of it to overcome this world. Jesus himself makes reference to this:

Revelation 2:4–5 (NKJV)

4 Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love. 5 Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works, or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place—unless you repent.

Now let’s share the initial revelation the Lord gave me.

Let’s start from a parents perspective. When a parent tells their child don’t touch the stove top because it is HOT you hope that they will listen to you. What is really challenged is love, trust and faith. Let’s go further. This child has never touched the stove top before thus your initial warning DO NOT PARTAKE/TOUCH requires the virtues of trust, faith and love. What does a child do that has never experienced touching a hot stove? They test the theory for themselves. Is mom and/or dad telling me the truth? The child’s disposition is I need to see and know for myself. So they touch a hot stove and get burned.

Now take that concept back to the garden with Adam and Eve. The Lord tells them not to partake of tree of knowledge of good and evil or they would die. So ask yourselves as you reflect on this “What is death” where death never was before! Adam and Eve didn’t know what dying/death was they were supposed to have loving faith and trust that the Lord loved them to tell them NOT TO PARTAKE. Just as you told your child not to touch the stove. This was an advantage the devil, had he knew what it was to be “kicked out”! The devil knew they would be “kicked out” and die. So the devil presented sensual love to Eve who in turn presented sensual love to Adam. Love for each other is NOT the same as true love for the Lord! Now let’s look at what Jesus tells us the two greatest commands are, and don’t reverse the order like so many preach!!!!

Matthew 22:37–40 (NKJV)

37 Jesus said to him, “ ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”

Now let’s take this further. What did Noah warn the people of, the imminent flood. What is a flood where there is no rain! Same principle applies here also! This is why the Lord gives us this warning:

Matthew 16:4 (NKJV)

4 A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign shall be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.” And He left them and departed.

If you need a sign you don’t have love, faith and trust in God’s Word. It’s no different than mocking Jesus on the cross and saying if you are the King of the Jews remove yourself from this cross. That is Satan speaking through a man. It was the will of the Father for Jesus to go to the cross. “GIVE ME A SIGN!”

The sign of Jonah is dying to yourself just as Jesus spent three days in the tomb! Paul fasted three days after encountering Jesus on the road to Damascus and this was before Paul received the Holy Spirit.

How many plagues did Pharaoh have to go through which were “signs” and yet Pharaoh hardened his heart! Once again imagine death in a place that knew no death. A flood in a place that had no rain. Now we can go to the rapture.

How many believe that it is as the Word of God states in Matthew 24? Why do they not conform to God’s Word and Spirit and Truth. Why do they not believe what is written? Why do they take other scriptures out of context to validate false belief? What does Jesus tell us, let’s take a look.


Matthew 24:4–26 (NKJV)

The Tribulation

Mark 13:5–23; Luke 21:5–24

4 And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. 6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

9 “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake. 10 And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. 11 Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. 12 And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. 13 But he who endures to the end shall be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.

15 “Therefore when you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place” (whoever reads, let him understand), 16 “then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17 Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take anything out of his house. 18 And let him who is in the field not go back to get his clothes. 19 But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! 20 And pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the Sabbath. 21 For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22 And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened.

23 “Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There!’ do not believe it. 24 For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, I have told you beforehand.

26 “Therefore if they say to you, ‘Look, He is in the desert!’ do not go out; or ‘Look, He is in the inner rooms!’ do not believe it.


Now I pose this question to you having read what the Lord inspired me to write why is there so much controversy regarding a rapture? It’s because people don’t believe God’s Word so they twist things to their own belief verses what the Word of God clearly says and the pick a couple of scriptures out of context so they can believe the lies Satan has inspired.

Just as what happened to Adam and Eve so it is today. When you don’t want to believe what the Word of God says you make yourself as god and create your own plan of salvation, not God’s way to be saved and overcome the world. It’s an escape mentality not an overcoming in spiritual and truth given by the Word of God and Spirit of the Lord. I can boldly tell you if you have difficulty believing any of the written Word of God that doesn’t mean it is not true. You need to believe even if you don’t understand, TRUST IN THE LORD WITH ALL YOUR HEART.

James 1:5–8 (NKJV)

5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. 6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. 7 For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; 8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

Now please take these matters to the Lord if needed. I believe many will receive witness from the Holy Spirit. Given what you have read I have a warning. Many are not prepared for the great tribulation such as the world has never seen before. When things get difficult many will likely turn away and get bitterness falsely believing the Lord Jesus didn’t love them because of the false teachings and beliefs of other people and preachers. But above all SEEK THE LORD! If we knew everything faith would not be necessary, we would be as god which is the original lie of Satan. There are also times the Lord is protecting us because we are not prepared or totally strengthened in a certain matter or issue. He even told his disciples this when Jesus told them He would send the comforter/Holy Spirit.

The problem is what Jesus address time and again, Faith verses unbelief! Jesus told many throughout the scriptures their faith has made them well. Jesus Himself was concerned about His second coming with the following statement, please take it to heart:

Luke 18:8 (NKJV)

8 I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?”

TAKE HEED OF ANY UNBELIEF IN GOD’S WORD OF TRUTH

INCLUDING MATTHEW 24 & LUKE 21

Matthew 17:19–21 (NKJV)

19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, “Why could we not cast it out?”

20 So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you. 21 However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.”

John 20:29 (NKJV)

29 Jesus said to him, “Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

Romans 3:4 (NKJV)

4 Certainly not! Indeed, let God be true but every man a liar. As it is written:

“That You may be justified in Your words,

And may overcome when You are judged.”

My closing statements. I was once in a bible study with two pastors and a group of people and the two pastors were going through the book of Revelations. I don’t claim to be a biblical scholar in any means but if someone is just going to read the bible I can do that on my own. I want spiritual meat not fluff.

In all honesty it wasn’t much more than reading it word for word verses giving revelation of meaning. One pastor and I use that term lightly and with hesitance said: We need to tell people about what is going to happen with the great tribulation and revelations so they will come to Jesus and be raptured out before any of this happens. The other pastor made no comment and just continued to read the bible like it was a comic book, NO MEAT just entertainment.

I said to the first pastor telling him that the tribulation and book of revelations is NOT THE GOSPEL! You two are trying to get people raptured but I am already raptured. I got looks like I had six heads or something. I said yes I am raptured, I was delivered from the kingdom of darkness and I am seated in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. I am in this world but I am not of this world so I don’t need to be raptured I am already home in Spirit and Truth! I was next in line to lead a bible study and my bible study was “who’s voice do you listen too”. After my bible study they closed it down for the saints to lead study and only the pastor could lead the study. That was okay with me as my time there came to a close as TRUTH was rejected so someone’s ministry could be built and NOT THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.

Galatians 2:20–21 (NKJV)

20 I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. 21 I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died in vain.”

Galatians 6:14–15 (NKJV)

14 But God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. 15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but a new creation.

If this post has blessed you please feel free to share. I had never before seen origin sin in 1 Corinthians 7 as I was more focused on Covenant but today the Lord showed me how loved failed in the garden and in 1 Corinthians 7 was the original sin. Thus in the end of the age and the coming of the Lord Jesus is the “MARRIAGE SUPPER OF THE LAMB”. That in itself should help you see 1 Corinthians 7 in a different perspective.

Please feel free to read my other articles which will help you with this article if you struggle with what I have said here they may help broaden your understanding.
