8/14/2020 Memo to all who read our American Wisdom Series web site: Every time I
pick up a news paper and read about the terrible things that people are
currently doing in this 21st century world we are living in today, I
get discouraged and pray, God please have Jesus return shortly and end
this flesh and blood earth age. I am so upset because the longer I live, it seems, the greater the
percentage of people, which are alive living on earth today, don't know, or care to know, what is
good, God's ways, versus what is evil, Satan's ways!I think, Jesus please come soon and end this evil flesh and blood earth age of violence. You promised; but I know you won't return, in person, until five months after Satan has been on earth, in person, to test all proclaiming Christians to see if they really believe in Jesus Christ OR will they sell their souls to Satan when he comes to earth, as the spurious messiah, spreading around un-earned benefits at the expense of others, while claiming he is God. OR will they endure until the end when you, the real Jesus Christ, the real only begotten Son of God, returns to put an end to Satan's ways once and for all!
When I get discouraged over this seemingly long wait; I turn to and read our study of the book of Hebrews which was written to all those who have crossed over from darkness (Satan's ways) into light (God's ways). Then the Holy Spirit reminds me of God's plan to end the world of all evil; i.e. the following of Satan's ways at the expense of others; but, He must first determine who is or is not worthy of salvation (ETERNAL LIFE), and it makes me fell better about the wait!

It means Christ is coming soon! But, it
won't happen until 5 months after Satan, that charismatic
preacher from the 1st earth age, who tryed to over throw
God,(the reason God distroyed that 1st earth age)
appearers here on earth as a test of proclaiming
Christians, claiming he is God.
Proclaiming Christian;Will you worship him OR
will you wait for the real Jesus Christ to arrive?
Will you endure until the end?
Unfortunately for most of God's children,it seems, it will not
be until all the sand runs out of hour glass in this flesh
age, and they miss out on being part of the "First
resurrection into Eternal Life"! And therefore; Salvation
by The Grace of God! And they will have to earn salvation,
at the "Second Resurrection to Eternal Life", based on their
works during "The Millennium"!
It is the dawn of The Millennium and the prophecies contained in the Word of God are rapidly coming to pass exactly as they are written, exactly as God said they would in both the Old and the New Testaments. You see, there eventually comes a time when the last grains of sand finally run out of the hour glass signaling that "Time's about Up"! We are now down to those last few grains of sand, or as Jesus Christ said in Luke 21:31 "So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand." We now see those things He spoke of coming to pass.
We have been studying the great Book of Hosea, the book written concerning the salvation of the 10 tribes of the house of Israel, which details the adulterous (idolatrous) transgressions of God's children and their ensuing chastisement that they were duly warned would befall them should they choose to break His covenant. In other words, Israel's captivity by the Assyrian and their subsequent scattering among the nations was written and pre-determined to befall them long before they actually took place. AND, they were given sufficient notice and warned by the true prophets of God that unless they repented and turned from their whoredoms and returned to their true Husband, the LORD God who brought them out of the bondage of Egypt with a mighty hand, they would face the swift onslaught of the Assyrian and be taken away captive. However, as it is written, they preferred listening to the soothsaying priests who told them not to worry and that God would protect them from the Assyrian. I guess they were both in error, weren't they? They should have listened to the Word of God instead of heeding the words of men, especially preachers! The rule you should ALWAYS go by is to NEVER let any man, this man or any other, convince you that the Word of God says this or that without any documentation and more importantly, without you first checking it out in His Word.
And it all happened as a example of what we, proclaiming Christians, in this last generation, will face SPIRITUALLY IN THESE LAST DAYS!!!!! 1 Cor. 10:11 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
And so it came to pass exactly as it was written, exactly as the prophets of God WARNED them would happen, that the Assyrian did come swiftly against the house of Israel because of their idolatry and took them all away (2 Kings 17:4-6). Let it be known, therefore, to the children of God in these last days, that the prophecy and the history stand written and they combine to confirm that the Word of God is true! Why is that important? Because what happened historically to the House of Israel was a type of that which WILL befall us proclaiming Christians in these last days. Do you remember Paul's words in 1 Cor. 10:11 which we quoted above? "Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come." Don't FORGET IT!!!
Therefore, as it is written, the Assyrian, one of the names given to Satan (Isa. 14:25 ), is about to descend swiftly against the present day house of Israel, who are the Christian nations of this 21st. century, which are located in Western Europe, the Isles of Britain and the Americas, and take them all away into captivity once again. Only this time it will be a spiritual captivity, and effect your SOUL for all ETERNITY, not your Physical body!
So the question now is, "Are you are a watchman of God?" Do you know the duties of a watchman? Do you know that His watchmen of this final generation are those sons and daughters spoken of by Joel the prophet and quoted by Peter on Pentecost Day in Acts 2, who would understand (See) the visions of the prophets and teach and warn God's children that the Assyrian, the false-christ, is soon coming BEFORE the return of Jesus Christ (2 Thes. 2)? If you know that and you are one of His watchmen, then this next verse is written to you.
Blow ye the trumpet! Sound the alarm! Warn our people! He, the Assyrian, the spurious messiah, shall come swiftly, as an eagle (or vulture) descends, against the House of Israel, i.e. the Christian nations of this 21st. century, which are located in Western Europe, the Isles of Britain and the Americas, because they have broken His covenant and played the role of the harlot though their idolatry! Do you think that Hosea is being told to preach some "new" revelation to the House of Israel, something they did not or should not already know? No, it was already written in God's Word, in the "law"!Hosea 8:1
Set the trumpet to thy mouth. He shall come as an eagle against the house of the LORD, because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law.
That nation is the Kenites.Deut. 28:49
The LORD shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flieth; a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand;
Here is the documentation of who Hemath is:
And the families of the scribes which dwelt at Jabez; the Tirathites, the Shimeathites, and Suchathites. These are the Kenites that came of Hemath, the father of the house of Rechab.

Sorry for the long side trip, Now back to our Hosea chapter 8 study:
Have you ever seen an eagle swoop down and take its prey? Then you have a "VISION" in your mind of how the "Assyrian" (Satan, as the false messiah) shall come "Fast and Furious" against our people in these last days! Plus you have the historical type to serve as an ensample!
So blow ye the trumpet! Sound the alarm, watchman!
Oh yes, it is also written in Eccles. 1:9 "The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun." When the sand finally runs out of the hour glass in the final "hour" of this last generation and it is too late to heed the warning of the trumpet, then our people shall cry unto God, as they did in the past, "We know thee, Lord!" Hmmm, this will once again pose a severe credibility problem for them because obviously they did not believe His Word nor heed His warning! If this next statement comes as shock to you, then so be it, unless you are newly converted Christian; But if you have been a Christian for some time now, then to SAY that you KNOW the Lord God, the "Living Word of God", and yet you do not KNOW the "Written Word of God", makes you a liar!"Hosea 8:2
Israel shall cry unto me, My God, we know thee.
1 John 2:4
He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
Hear the words of the Lord which will be spoken after the sand runs out of the hour glass:
Matthew 7:22
Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
Sorry, that is not true!
[23] And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
It is a fact that "We the People" of The United States of America, the leader of the free Christian nations of the world, have true to prophecy become a nation of Biblical illiterates. The great spiritual "famine" of the end time prophesied by Jesus Christ and recorded in Amos 8:11-13, has come to pass! Yes, the house of Israel has cast off the knowledge of His word, His truth, and today they have gone one step further and even cast off the knowledge of their own heritage.Hosea 8:3
Israel hath cast off the thing that is good: the enemy shall pursue him.
They set up kings, but not by His counsel, i.e. they have set up kings who do not serve God according to His Word. Instead, they have set up civil and religious leaders who do not know His Word and who place idols before the people, thereby cutting them off from His blessings.
Again, there is nothing new under the sun. Not only do our ministers and preachers set up idols and a false sense of security with their traditions of men and their rapture theories which promise our people they will not face the "Assyrian", (Satan) but our civil leaders today, who seldom even give lip service to God or His Word, set up false security through their entitlement programs and other "systems" while at the same time declaring an era of peace, peace.
You should know the story of the golden calves of Samaria and how Jeroboam set up the altars and the calves so that the people could worship God without going to Jerusalem as God commanded.[5] Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast thee off; mine anger is kindled against them: how long will it be ere they attain to innocency?
Here is the narrative from 1 Kings 12:25-32:
It all looked so religious but it was a bunch of "Bull" and it was sinful indeed as far as the Word of God is concerned.Then Jeroboam built Shechem in mount Ephraim, and dwelt therein; and went out from thence, and built Penuel. [26] And Jeroboam said in his heart, Now shall the kingdom return to the house of David: [27] If this people go up to do sacrifice in the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, then shall the heart of this people turn again unto their lord, even unto Rehoboam king of Judah, and they shall kill me, and go again to Rehoboam king of Judah. [28] Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold, and said unto them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. [29] And he set the one in Bethel, and the other put he in Dan. [30] And this thing became a sin: for the people went to worship before the one, even unto Dan. [31] And he made an house of high places, and made priests of the lowest of the people, which were not of the sons of Levi. [32] And Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like unto the feast that is in Judah, and he offered upon the altar. So did he in Bethel, sacrificing unto the calves that he had made: and he placed in Bethel the priests of the high places which he had made.
The lesson to be learned here is that you had better be able to discern what the "golden calves" of modern Christianity, as taught in most all of our 21st century so-called Christian churches, are and not let "idols" of any sort, whether they be money or possessions or the traditions "made by men", cause you to stray from the Word of God and from keeping His commands, i.e. His Word. The question asked in the last half of Hosea 8:5 is, "How long will it take before our people are no longer guilty of such adultery (idolatry)", i.e. until they are innocent?
Hosea 8:6
For from Israel was it also: the workman made it; therefore it is not God: but the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.
Remember what happened to the calf when Moses returned from the mountain of God in Exodus 32:19-24?
Well, the modern day "calves" of Churchianity SHALL likewise be destroyed at the return of Yeshua.
In summary, "Make sure you seek the Lord and study His Word so that the Truth dwells in you!" Otherwise, as it is written, you are full of "Bull"!
1 John 2:4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him
The questions to consider for today are: If you have never read the Personal Letter that your heavenly Father has written to you, then how would you know for sure what it is that pleases or displeases Him? Do you rely on the words of some man (your preacher) who claims to be an official letter reader to tell you what your Father wrote to YOU? Certainly it is a good and wonderful thing to have a knowledgeable and gifted teacher, but is the Word of God just written to ministers and priests to read and understand?
Some churches claim that is so, but it is NOT SO! In fact, you can read in Acts 17 where the Bereans, after listening to the words of the apostle Paul, the servant of God who wrote the major portion of the New Testament, searched the scriptures "daily" themselves to see if what Paul was telling them aligned with God's Word!
That's right, they
checked him out just as you are commanded to do in
1 John. 4:1 with what
you hear preached or taught! So do you test the words
of your preacher or priest or pope or bishop or elder, etc., to see if
they align with God's Word? Hopefully you do! Otherwise you are
already disobedient to His Word starting with 1 John 4:1 and 2 Tim. 2:15.
Here is the account of the noble Bereans readiness to seek and verify the truth of God's Word:
Why is this so important? Because of deception and because it is written and it is a fact that "whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap". Never forget this because God will not be mocked by man, either on purpose or in ignorance!Acts 17:10
And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews.[11] These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
You see, many Christians in their ignorance, in their blindness to truth caused by listening to the traditions of men, i.e. the doctrines and rituals of churchianity, believe that their "sacrifices" and their "offerings" are pleasing to God.Galatians 6:7
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
The question again is, "How would they know? How many Christians do you think have ever read the Book of Hosea (salvation) where God calls His children a bunch of spiritual whores who worship in Beth-avens, houses of emptiness, where rituals and worship abound but the Word is not taught?"
Yes, it is strong language! Certainly we are not condemning churches or judging our good hearted brothers and sisters, but the reality is that even if a person is blind or ignorant he will STILL reap what he sows! Make no mistake about it! "Be not deceived! God is not mocked!"
For example, you may be told by some likeable though misinformed preacher type and you may believe with all your heart that the corn seeds you are planting are watermelon seeds! Do you then think that just because you are expecting watermelons to grow that that is what you will get? Sorry! You plant corn seeds, even if you believe they are watermelon seeds, you get a corn crop! As the teenagers say, "Deal with it!" Seems to me a wise person would what to make certain he (or she) knows what he is planting, especially if his life depends on it!
Then too, we have the historical record of our forefathers
who did some sowing of their own! Remember in our last study that they
set up kings, but not according to God's counsel, and they worshipped,
went to church, where the Golden Calves were set up rather than go down
to Jerusalem as commanded by God.
Hey, they were told it was OK, but not
by God! On the contrary, we documented in our last study that they were
WARNED against such idolatry!
Let's continue in the 8th chapter of Hosea and see what our Father has to say about their worship practices and their "own version" of sowing seeds of faith:
Even though Christ Himself said that many Christians will be deceived in the last days (Mat. 24, Mk. 24) and they will later come to Him claiming to have worshipped and done wonderful works in His name (Mat. 7), some Christians just do not see how a good church-goer could be said to be doing anything wrong because they are worshipping God and Jesus, are they not?Hosea 8:7
For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk: the bud shall yield no meal: if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up.
I guess the question is, "Can you worship God and Jesus in vain, i.e. for nothing?" Well, it doesn't matter what I say, because you will check me out anyway, right?
So let's cut out the middle man and let the Lord Himself answer that question. In Mark 7:5 Jesus had just been asked by the Scribes and Pharisees why His disciples eat bread with unwashen hands:
Yes, you can worship God in vain by following the doctrines and traditions of men and the church systems they have set up on the hill! You may think that you are sowing good seeds but even in your ignorance if you are in fact sowing to the wind, you will reap a crop of wind, even a whirlwind! And of course without God's blessings, without pleasing Him by listening to Him, even if you did yield a crop of corn, God would chastise you, His child, and see to it that it was consumed by strangers!Mark 7:6
He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.[7] Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

If we miss out on the 1st resurrection to eternal life at Jesus' return; our only chance to be awarded eternal life after His return will then based on our works during the Millennium.
Israel was indeed swallowed up and his chastisement came to pass exactly as it was written. Remember 2 Kings 17:6? "In the ninth year of Hoshea the king of Assyria took Samaria, and carried Israel away into Assyria, and placed them in Halah and in Habor by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes." Therefore the once great nation of Israel has become about as pleasing to God as a "broken pot"![8] Israel is swallowed up: now shall they be among the Gentiles as a vessel wherein is no pleasure.
Like a wild ass wandering astray in the wilderness all alone, so go the children of Israel who have forgotten their God by committing fornication and adultery (idolatry).Hosea 8:9
For they are gone up to Assyria, a wild ass alone by himself...
Here is how Isaiah describes them:
This is a hard reality check! God says that even a dumb ass knows his master's crib, but Israel is not even that smart! They are dumber than a dumb ass because they do not "consider" as is "discern" and "understand", i.e. they do not use their brains and study His Word!Isaiah 1:3
The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.
Why not? Because quite frankly, just as we notice many of our brother's and sister's attitudes when we look around us today, they just don't give two corn cobs.
Will the 10 tribes of the House of Israel (Christians of Western Europe, the Isles of Britain, and from the Americans) get away with turning their backs on the Holy One of Israel? Ha! Can donkeys fly? He said, " Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." You can rest assured and be confident that our Father is completely fair and everyone gets exactly what they have coming to them.[4] Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.
So Israel, represented by the largest tribe of Ephraim, having forsaken God by forgetting God, by not considering His Word, resorted to hiring (buying) friends and allies for protection and security. That's a "Big No No" according to His commands.
This practice of buying friends and allies is continued big time by the United States of America as long as I can remember! And you want to talk about "dumb and dumber"? An harlot usually charges her lovers for her services, right? Not good old Israel (America). She PAYS THEM!Hosea 8:9 (continued...)
Ephraim hath hired lovers.
Editor's note written in January of 2017, shortly after Donald Trump took office: Will Donald Trump change that? I hope and pray he does! I believe he intends to, at least until the International Bankers start to threaten him!
Here is how Ezekiel describes her using the same adultery/idolatry terminology as Hosea:
She pays them to be her lovers/allies! The word contrary means "reverse" or as we say "bass ackwards"!Ezekiel 16:32
But as a wife that committeth adultery, which taketh strangers instead of her husband![33]They give gifts to all whores: but thou givest thy gifts to all thy lovers, and hirest them, that they may come unto thee on every side for thy whoredom.
[34] And the contrary is in thee from other women in thy whoredoms, whereas none followeth thee to commit whoredoms: and in that thou givest a reward, and no reward is given unto thee, therefore thou art contrary.
What have we learned so far today? "You reap what you sow", right? Therefore, because Ephraim(READ AMERICA because she is the largest of todays 21st century Christian nations and represents Ephraim, which was the largest of our ancestors from the ancient "House of Israel") has forgotten God and acted contrary to His commands, instead of his allies helping him and coming to his aid, God will gather them against him and Ephraim will suffer for a little while under the tribute (burden) paid to the king of princes.Hosea 8:10
Yea, though they have hired among the nations, now will I gather them, and they shall sorrow a little for the burden of the king of princes.
What does it mean that Ephraim, who is representative of the 10 tribes of Israel, has made (multiplied) many altars? It means that there are a multitude of churches in the nation, one on every street corner in some towns, but as we have learned, many are merely Beth-Avens, houses of emptiness, whereas they should be Beth-Els, houses of God. Therefore, Ephraim's religions and his churches are a sin unto him even as the worship services before the golden calves of Samaria were sin unto him.[11] Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sin, altars shall be unto him to sin.
The sad part of all this is that our people are really without excuse. Unlike those who lived in the Dark Ages where access to the Word of God was prevented and denied by the church*, i.e. the Light of Truth was all but snuffed out (hence the term the Dark Ages), we in this nation do have access to the entire written Word of God. But now, there are many times more Bibles in this land than there are people, but there are few people who have "considered it", i.e. read it with understanding.
* If you have not read "The Letter to the Reader", the
rather lengthy preface written to the English reader by the translators
of the King James Bible, then log unto this file.
Chances are that you did not even know this document exists because the Kenite publishers have removed it from the pages of your Bible.
This is our Father speaking! He has now given us the entirety of His WRITTEN WORD! And it is not just the critics and scoffers of today who consider it a strange, foreign, alien thing! Most Christians believe it is a "strange thing", as in hard to read and understand. But it is really not that difficult at all if you use common sense, a good translation, and allow the Holy Spirit to guide and direct you instead of preconceived ideas! As we have learned in this Book of Hosea (vs. 6:6), all our Father wants is for His children to love Him and obey His commands, His Voice, i.e. His Word, the Bible. It is not their "sacrifices" and their "offerings" and the rest of their religious practices and traditions that He seeks.Hosea 8:12
I have written to him the great things of my law, but they were counted as a strange thing.
Here is a second witness to His desires:
He wants His children to be well, to be happy and successful and secure.Jeremiah 7:21
Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Put your burnt offerings unto your sacrifices, and eat flesh.[22] For I spake not unto your fathers, nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices:
[23] But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you.
You cannot buy happiness. It comes as a result of listening and obeying your Father. You reap what you sow![24] But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward.
All the words of those prophets are written and recorded for you and me. In other words, those same prophets have been sent to us this very day (they're all recorded in your Bible)! But, Do our people read them, listen to them and hearken unto their voices? NO!!!![25] Since the day that your fathers came forth out of the land of Egypt unto this day I have even sent unto you all my servants the prophets, daily rising up early and sending them:
They could give two corn cobs![26] Yet they hearkened not unto me, nor inclined their ear, but hardened their neck: they did worse than their fathers.[27] Therefore thou shalt speak all these words unto them; but they will not hearken to thee: thou shalt also call unto them; but they will not answer thee.
There is a great famine in our land, "not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD" (Amos 8:11).[28] But thou shalt say unto them, This is a nation that obeyeth not the voice of the LORD their God, nor receiveth correction: truth is perished, and is cut off from their mouth.
Question: The truth has been cut off, our people do not know His Word so how could they possibly obey His voice? Answer: They can't and they don't! They worship and serve God after the traditions of man not according to that which is written in His Word! Soooo... they reap what they sow.
It is so true that our brothers and sisters whom we love very much truly believe that God approves of their sacrifices and offerings. They truly believe that the church they go to is a Beth-el and not a Beth-aven. Remember what we just covered in Jeremiah and in Hosea 6:6 which we covered just a few short studies ago? Our Father wants His children's "love" and He wants them to "know" Him (through His Word) rather than all their burnt offerings (sacrifices). But they are so deceived by the traditions of men perpetuated by the churches and the many ministers who come in the name of Christ, that they believe that what they do is pleasing to our Father! You can be sure most of them have never read the Book of Hosea and you can be sure that they have no idea, no clue, that they are spiritual whores! Again, we not judging nor condemning them. Our Father loves all of His children very dearly and He will see to it that they are chastised and disciplined and that He is brought into their remembrance.Hosea 8:13
They sacrifice flesh for the sacrifices of mine offerings, and eat it; but the LORD accepteth them not; now will He remember their iniquity, and visit their sins: they shall return to Egypt.
Here is your documentation about their salvation by WORKS: (This is at the close of the Millennium)
Revelation 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
(The sins of those folks are still covered by the Blood of Christ, but no longer by grace!)
Now back to our study:
But because they have forgotten Him and because they have not "considered" His Word but have become spiritual harlots by allowing themselves to be deceived by the traditions of men, they shall return to Egypt, which is to return to captivity! They shall reap what they have sown! The Assyrian, as antichrist/Satan, shall soon come again and take them captive.
Just as the House of Israel has forgotten who they are, i.e. that they are true Israel, they have also forgotten who their true Maker is because they have not listened to His voice, His Word. But they continue to build one church after another and both Israel and Judah think they can protect themselves with "fortification made by man" instead of relying upon their Maker.[14] For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and buildeth temples; and Judah hath multiplied fenced cities: but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the palaces thereof.
Too bad, for it is written:
Deception as defined by Webster is "believing something to be true when it really isn't"!Galatians 6:7
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
This following excerpt is from Zechariah:
There is a time coming, a day, when many people shall "wake up" to the realization that a great apostasy has taken place and that all the while they have been worshiping the one sitting in the temple (claiming to be God), they have actually been serving and worshiping the false messiah, even Satan, as God. Oh, the shame of it all and the mourning that shall take place in the land on that day when many suddenly realize that they have committed adultery... that they are spiritual whores! That day which we speak of is the day, the soon coming day when Jesus Christ returns! That day is spoken of in Zechariah, whose prophecies, if you recall from our first study, cover a 7 year period, even the last 7 year period of this flesh age.
In Haggai and Zechariah we are given step by step instructions as to how these end time events will play out!Haggai prophesied as to how "The Many Membered Body of Jesus Christ" in these last days would be built, is right now being built in preparation for Jesus Christ's return; And Zechariah prophesied that many people shall "wake up" when Christ returns and find they have actually been serving and worshiping the false messiah, Satan, as their God. And between these two post Exilic prophets, they explain why and how and when it all happens, step by step!
Pro-claiming Christian; are you aware of when and how and why, all these events leading up to the return of Jesus Christ, as "Lord of lords and King of kings" will all happen? If not, log unto and read Haggai and Zechariah in their entirety!
Live Links to each above:
The two books of Haggai and Zechariah together will give you a clear and concise picture of the "work" of God's hands, His elect, in this final generation! The Book of Haggai concerns the completion of the building of the temple, i.e. the many membered body of Jesus Christ in these last days. The Book of Zechariah tell us of the the events leading up to Jesus Christ's return and how and when each event will happen.
God had it all played out, in type, by and to, the ancient Israelites, and recorded in the Bible for us, upon whom the ends of the world are come!
1 Cor. 10:11 Now all these things happened unto them (the ancient Israelites) for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
.
This is what Haggai and Zechariah are all about; planting the seeds of truth in peoples minds; bringing the lost people of the world the knowledge they need so that "The Holy Spirit" can help them back to life (ETERNAL LIFE), if not before Christ's return, then during the Millennium.
Acts 2:16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; [17] And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God,I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:This is happening right now! The sons and daughters of the final generation are prophesying (i.e. teaching, working in the field, planting seeds for the harvest), and they SEE, which means to "Understand" visions. What visions? The visions of the prophets through whom Christ has foretold us all things! The prophet Daniel was told to seal the vision and seal up his book until the time of the end when the wise would understand (SEE) them. They now do!
And they now understand the "visions" Ezekiel saw also, including the highly polished spectrum metal circular whirling vehicle (space ship, i.e. flying saucer) which came out of the north sky, let down its landing gear, and landed right in front of him!
They also understand the dreams of Daniel, etc., even king Nebuchadnezzar's dreams! And the Word of God is being taught chapter by chapter and line by line, by those sons and daughters, the "children of the prophets" (Acts 3:25).
Here it is:
Acts 2:18
And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:
Got the PICTURE?
[19] And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:[20] The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:

Ezekiel 37:1Here Ezekiel was carried out "in the spirit of the LORD" in the same manner as was the apostle John in Rev. 1:10 (see note in Companion Bible), for what we are about to read is "end time" prophecy. Ezekiel was carried out and then set down (which also means "to dwell") in the midst of the valley which was full of bones. Can you PICTURE this in your mind?
The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones,
Notice that if you are a servant of the LORD, an appointed watchman, and He has a job for you to do, He can easily just take you by the hand and set you to work in the midst of the field! Or He could carry you to your job in the belly of big fish, like Jonah. Attitude can be important, you know.
We are going to be given some more details of this dismal scene, but first let's jump ahead to verse 11 and learn right away what these "bones" symbolize:
This is really simple, except for the fact that one must know who the whole house of Israel is, mustn't he? Do you?Ezekiel 37:11
Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel:

Live Link to> Is the seed still in the Barn?
Note: Your angel is in heaven right now, but it is part of
God's plan that you not be aware of it, while living here in the flesh,
unless you already love the Lord, have been studying your Bible to
show yourself approved, and the Holy Spirit has already led you to
Matthew 18:10 and given you understanding.
Matthew 18:10 Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones;
for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the
face of my Father which is in heaven.
You can be sure your angel is aware of what and how your
flesh/human being is coping with life in the flesh; because, your
flesh and blood human being's soul and your angelic being's soul
are both the same God created being, i.e. soul.
You know, or I pray you know, that the decisions you make here,
while living in the flesh effect your eternal life.
You are a sinner and if you believe in Jesus Christ, and now choose
to repent of those sins, asking Jesus Christ for forgiveness, and invite Him,
His Holy Spirit, into your heart to cleanse it, you will be awarded eternal life
at His return, by His grace; but if you don't; You will be one of what the
Bible refers to as the walking dead, which means you will also be born back
into your angelic, celestial body at Christ's return but; you will still have a
mortal, still liable to die and be no more soul, and your only chance to
live forever will be decided at "The Great White Throne of Judgment" at the
close of the Millennium, based on your works!
See Matthew 18:10 verse which I mentioned above:
Matthew 18:10 Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones;
for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the
face of my Father which is in heaven.
If these little children Jesus is referring to have a spirit existence
in heaven even while here on earth, isn't it also true of you and me
and all of us human, flesh and blood, beings?
celestial body, and that your angel also, right now, is beholding the face of your Father in heaven, just as stated in Matthew 18:10.
His return at The End of This Earth Age. Mark 13:28 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near: Furthermore it is written in Mark 4:13 that if you do not understand the
parable of the sower you will not be able to understand any of Christ's parables!
So before we attempt to learn "The Parable of the Fig Tree" we had better first learn "The Parable of the Sower" and also "The Parable of the Tares" because to understand the "Parable of the Fig Tree" you must know both those parables. (The Sower & The Tares)

Will you endure until the end?
Rev. 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the
Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the
earth, and his angels were cast out with him. They're coming soon!
And guess what? As with the rest of God's Word,
it doesn't matter whether you believe it not. It will

For those that do not repent, their souls will be destroyed in the lake of fire. This is called the "Second death".
Revelation 20:14 "And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death." [14] "And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire." [15]
The first death is the death of these flesh bodies, most die from old age, but many much younger, some by accidents, some by disease and some by murder, some murdered in the womb even prior to their birth.
Editor's Note: The first death is just the "shadow of death" talked about in Psalms 23. The valley of which, we are now walking through, in this flesh life,
But the death of the soul is the second death, and following the second death, there will be no record left that that person even existed in any form, not even in the memory of their loved ones.
Editor's Note: The second death, the death of our soul, That is the death we need to be concerned about!
We have just recently been studying both Haggai and Zechariah who taught us about how thing will happen in these last days of this flesh and blood earth age prior to Jesus Christ's return; which marks the end of us as flesh and blood human beings.Having said that; Jesus' spent a lot of time teaching on this same subject when he walked this earth as a flesh and blood man. He taught us that the time of the tribulation, that Daniel told us about, has been shortened from the three and one half years to five months, so that gives God's elect an additional 3 years to plant seeds of Truth about Satan in peoples minds before he (Satan) arrives on this earth, claiming he is God, to test us proclaiming Christians to see if we really do know the difference between what is Holy (Jesus) and what is Profane (Satan).
Jesus taught us through His parables that the church in these later days will forsake His Word and instead teach their own man made traditions, which will mess up your mind by the distortion of true doctrine.
Then after Satan's five months here in person is the end, when the seventh trumpet blows Christ returns to set up His 1000 year Millennial Kingdom, right here on earth.
After the Millennium age, that is the time that Christ's loyal angels will gather up all the unsaved and cast them into the lake of fire and THEY WILL BE NO MORE.
Do you "see" both MIRACLES CHRIST PERFORMED HERE in these verses?! First Miracle in Verse 24 The Second Miracle in Verse 25! Of course it's the First One that is important to your understanding of the Bible!
Mark 8:23 And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when He had spit on His eyes, and put His hands upon him, He asked him if he saw ought.[24] And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.

The two different trees in the garden!
Remember, aside from the other trees in the garden of Eden, there are two specific trees mentioned there: 1) the tree of life, and 2) the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
Do you know what or who they were? (Note: throughout the Bible trees symbolically represent people) Don't forget. the second tree mentioned in the "Garden of Eden" knows both GOOD & EVIL.
(Live Link)to-Let's talk about TREES & "tree symbology"
Satan comes first claiming he is God! Satan was the tree in the garden with the knowledge of both good and evil. Don't you be fooled by the good he can and will do, to make you believe he is God! Study to show yourself approved; knowing the difference between what is holy (The Real Jesus Christ) and what is profane (The Instead-of-Christ, Satan, i.e.the anti-christ).;.Also remember,he brings his fallen angels, from the days of Noah, with him and he already has plenty of help here on earth, i.e. Kenites from his encounter with Eve in the garden! (descendants of Cain).
Live Link to- Yes, Satan PLANTED THE TARES
Live Link to- How can you count the number of the beast if you don't know who they are. 666 - They are descendants of Cain. What shall we do with them after we've counted them?
Here are Jesus' instructions.
Matthew 13:28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?Hmmm, it seems the sowing of the tares was the deliberate covert activity of the enemy/Satan. Should we go round those suckers up?
Matthew 13::29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.Let the tares alone for now! That's an order! [30] Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
Matthew 13:39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the age; and the reapers are the angels.
Please read all of Matthew 13:24-43
So it seems that the reason to count the "Number of the Beast" is to let us know there are MANY LIVING AMONG US.

The season is growing long and the hour is late which means very soon the great false shepherd, the son of perdition, will be cast from heaven with his angels and shall come stand in the holy place claiming to be God (2 Thes. 2). However, his reign has been shortened to only a five month period, which is the time of the locusts of Rev. 9:5 & 10, whose season is from May through September. It shall be at the end of this indignation that the Great Day shall come, that day when Jesus Christ shall return and cleanse the temple leaving not one "stone" left standing atop another (Luke 21:6). In that day He shall set up His everlasting kingdom upon Mount Zion and establish that "wall" around Jerusalem and His judgment shall run down as waters and His righteousness, His Holy Word, shall flow as mighty stream (Amos 5:24).
We live in the most exciting "Bible Times" in the history of mankind, bar none!
We live in the
"time
of the end" that
the prophet Daniel wrote
of and spoke of and desired to "see",
a time when "many
would run to and fro" and "knowledge would be increased"
and the "seals"
of the great book, God's Word, would be opened
and "unveiled"
by the Lamb of God (Rev. 6:1) to
"the wise",
who are simply
those who sincerely study His Word and hear His voice.
Daniel 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
Daniel was told the words of his prophecy were to be closed up and sealed until the time of the end.
Daniel 12:9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
Then the wise
in "the time of the
end", aka "the last days",
would understand
what was written concerning the events of the final generation.
We are living in that time now!
So therefore, we can now read and understand.
[10] Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.
Consider now
the
times!
Think about the
incredible technological age of increased knowledge
and information
and global communications in which we live!
Here are the
words
of Joel as quoted by the apostle Peter
on that first
Pentecost Day following the resurrection of Jesus Christ:
Acts 2:17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
All the events
that shall happen in and unto this final generation were prophesied
long,
long ago,
even as Jesus
said in Mark
13:23 "...behold, I have
foretold you all things".
The eight visions the Lord gave to Zechariah in 410 BC, concerning these end times, can now be understood.
Let's go to
the
book of Zechariah and learn about these eight visions:
1. The Rider on the Red Horse.
2. & The Four Horns
3. The Measuring Line
4. The Branch
5. The Golden Lampstand
6. The Flying Scroll
7. & The Ephah

"When shall the end of this earth age be?
And what signs shall there be that we may know that the return of Christ is "nigh at hand, even at the doors"?
When asked this question, Jesus answer was: Mark 13:28 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and They are the bad Figs of Judea. forth leaves, ye know that summer is near: 29 So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors. 30 Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done. 31 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
The year 2030 is getting close!
The Hebrew verb translated "shall be" in this verse is "hayah" with the participle which simply means that the fountain of living water shall be permanently opened, as in forevermore! You see, just as the original fountain was cut off at the rejection and crucifixion of Messiah, except for those who would come to and drink from that fountain, so shall there be a severe famine (Amos 8:13) and a dry desert, a desolation, when the false shepherd sets up his kingdom! But alas, not for long!Zech. 13:1
In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness.
The word "sin" is translated from the Hebrew "chata" which means "to miss the mark"! It is written that many of our people, in fact the majority, will "miss the mark" and miss out on the first resurrection because they did not know Christ, the Word of God, and were deceived by the false-christ. Oh they say "Lord, Lord" and do many noble works in His name (Mat. 7:22), but because the false shepherds (Christian ministers) have all but starved them to their spiritual death by teaching to them the traditions of men instead of His Word, most of them shall be part of that great falling away, the apostasy! You see, if one does not teach the Word of God but substitutes religious activity in its stead, then that person having forsaken the Word has FORSAKEN GOD! And it is written in this 13th chapter of Zechariah that in that day those prophets (teachers) of men's visions and false doctrines shall be surely ashamed because they have forsaken the fountain of living waters, His Word, and caused their entire congregations to fall away. Jeremiah also documents that those who forsake His Word shall be ashamed:
The truth of the matter is that our people have become a valley of dry bones (Ezk. 37) because (1) they have forsaken the fountain of living waters, His Word, by not studying it, and (2) by listening to false shepherds speak lies about it, like "apples and snakes" and other too-numerous-to-mention untruths, they have no water... even setting up a false rock which cannot hold water!Jeremiah 17:12
A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary.[13] O LORD, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be ashamed, and they that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living waters.
Ezekiel also documents that for us.
Our Rock is the Living Water, even as that Stone of Scone was struck by Moses and the water poured forth for our people who wandered in the dry wilderness!Jeremiah 2:13
For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.
Yes, the fountain of Living Water shall be permanently opened to rid the land, our nation, of her two evil sins, "Idolatry" and "Unclean Spirits", i.e. "False prophecy (teachings) put forth by false prophets"! Jesus Christ is returning and in that day He shall rid the land of BOTH!
Obviously this has not yet come to pass which further documents that this is speaking of the last day! Also, to "cut off" means to destroy or consume!Zech. 13:2
And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they shall no more be remembered: and also I will cause the prophets and the unclean spirit to pass out of the land.
Remember we documented in a prior study from Ezek. 44:23 that the Zadok, the just ones, God's elect, "shall teach my (His) people the difference between the holy and profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean." Idolatry and false teaching simply will not be permitted to flourish and any such attempt to teach false doctrine shall be handled with the rod of iron, according to His Word.
To "speak lies" in the name of the LORD is to take His name in vain. To wit, many preachers, even those with good intentions who themselves are deceived, speak lies (false precepts and doctrines) in the name of the Lord for again, they teach the traditions of men which make void the Word of God. The shame of it is that our people are NOT taught how to truly love and please their Father for it is written that all they know about how to love Him is from those vain (empty) traditions they are taught, some of which have them jumping, or swinging, or gobbling like turkeys, or just making donation after donation to this wonderful cause or that. As the true prophet and teacher of His Word says, "It is all just a bunch of lip service!"[3] And it shall come to pass, that when any shall yet prophesy, then his father and his mother that begat him shall say unto him, Thou shalt not live; for thou speakest lies in the name of the LORD: and his father and his mother that begat him shall thrust him through when he prophesieth.
In other words, many Christians go to church and do religious things and sing songs of praise and worship but their "hearts", their minds, do not align with their Father's, with His Word! One cannot be filled with His spirit, His Word, if his or her mind (heart) is filled with the vain teachings and visions of men and or women. Please do not misunderstand, I am not "knocking" going to church or singing songs. It is just an irrefutable fact that the vast majority of our Christian brothers and sisters and loved ones are not taught (fed) the Word of God chapter by chapter and line by line! Show your brothers and sisters where the stream of Living Water is NOW, where the green pastures are NOW, and stop playing church!Isaiah 29:13
Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear (meaning to revere) toward me is taught by the precept of men:
The good news is that the kingdom of God is soon coming! At that day when Jesus Christ and His saints stand on Mount Zion, that fountain of truth, that fountain of living water, shall flow like a river from beneath the throne of the Lamb! Furthermore, idolatry (false gods) and unclean spirits (false doctrines) will no longer be permitted, which is what the verse we just read in Zech. 13:3 is speaking about!
The reference is to Deuteronomy 13:6-10, so let's go there and see what additional wisdom we might gain from His Word.
Note: Many people do not understand the law of liberty and so when they read about the death penalty in God's Word they "get all shook" up as they envision many people being killed. Not so! You see, God says if we will obey His laws and His commandments then these things will cease from happening among us! In other words, if we publicly execute murderers and rapists according to God's law, there will be a whole lot less murders and rapes in our land and we will be at liberty (free) to walk the streets of our towns even at night!Deut. 13:6
If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers;[7] Namely, of the gods of the people which are round about you, nigh unto thee, or far off from thee, from the one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth;
[8] Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him:
[9] But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people.
Do you not think seducing God's children and drawing them away from His Word is a serious offence? That is precisely why we are down here walking under the sun, dwelling in the flesh. You see, it is written that Satan drew away 1/3 of us, the stars of heaven, (Rev. 12:4) to follow after him and his idolatrous ways in the first earth age. Therefore, God, destroyed that first earth age; And sentenced Satan, His son, to die (Ezek. 28:18), to be turned to ashes from within and perish in the lake of fire at the end of the Millennium. Hence he is called the "son who will perish"... the son of perdition![10] And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die; because he hath sought to thrust thee away from the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
The point is, do not listen (i.e. take heed) to false preachers and false teachers of His Word, even if they are a spouse or relatives or close friends, or any other "tree" who entices you with bad fruit that is not found in the Word of God. ALWAYS test the fruit (1 Jn. 4:1) and then stick to God's Word, so obtaining your fruit directly from Him, the everlasting living Tree of Life. That way you will not produce "bad fruit" yourself by sharing that junk with others, like Eve did with her own husband!

Again, why is this so important? Read it for yourself in Matthew 7:19 "Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire." So always stay in God's Word and eat fruit from the Tree of Life that you yourself might bear good fruit! Did you know that God even likens Himself to a fir, an ever (eternal) green (living) tree, in Hosea 14:8: "Ephraim shall say, What have I to do any more with idols? I have heard him, and observed him: I am like a green fir tree. From me is thy fruit found."
You see, it is written... even in the next verse... that those preachers, those nice friendly false shepherds who lead their flocks to follow the traditions of men and so set them up for the fall, the great falling away, i.e. the great apostasy when they bow to the false-christ when he appears at the sound of the 6th Trump believing the lie that he is God, are going to be sorely ashamed of what they have taught in that day when the true Messiah appears at the sound of the 7th Trump. Then too, during the Millennium, Jesus Christ and His Zadok are not going to put up with false preachers! There will be No More "playing church" and putting on religious garb to look like a man or woman of God and then teach people to roll Ishtar's eggs or sooth them with visions of "flying away" in some rapture when Satan comes! That's "Bad Fruit"! It does not hold to the test of His Word and if you give it to others you are bearing bad fruit and doing the work of another god... even the great false shepherd!
Here, read what the false prophets of today will be doing during the Millennium, i.e. in that day!
This is not to say that it is a sin to wear a garment of a prophet (teacher), for Elijah wore skins with a girdle of leather about his loins as did John the Baptist (Mat. 3:4). But one can simply NOT identify a true teacher of God's Word by outward clothing! TEST their FRUITS, i.e. what they "FEED YOU"!Zech. 13:4
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the prophets shall be ashamed every one of his vision, when he hath prophesied; neither shall they wear a rough garment to deceive:
Let's document it from Christ's own words:
How do you tell if your good friendly preacher is a good shepherd or not? Test his or her fruits, what he or she teaches... not his or her outward appearance! Of course none of them look or seem like wolves!Matthew 7:15
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
[16] Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
Let's continue in Zechariah with the doings of the false prophets in that day when they shall be utterly ashamed of their past doings![17] Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
Looks like a change of profession for these false prophets, doesn't it? They will no longer claim to be shepherds proudly leading their flocks, but now they are tillers of the ground, mere servants working in the field. Should have learned a lesson from Adam in the first place... i.e. learned to tend and keep the garden and not eat the fruit from Mr. Know-it-all standing in the midst of the garden!Zech. 13:5
But he shall say, I am no prophet, I am an husbandman; for man taught me to keep cattle from my youth.
WARNING, UNDER PENALTY OF DEATH! Stay away from bad fruit! Do not eat bad fruit!
If you think this is talking about an apple tree and eating an apple, you have ALREADY eaten "bad fruit" from false branches! Spit that venomous poison out and start eating from the Word of God, from the table of the Lord! In other words, obtain your fruit from that great fir tree, from the Tree of Life, else you too will die!Genesis 2:16
And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:[17] But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
By the way, the word "apple" is not even mentioned in the Book of Genesis!
In other words, the true Shepherd of Israel, Jesus Christ, who was rejected by His own house and "wounded for our transgressions" (Isaiah 53:5), pierced through His hands, and thrust in His side with a spear (sword) whereby that (sin free) blood and water poured forth, is coming to bring forth His own sword and restore His people Israel and also execute justice, as in just recompense in all the earth.
Therefore it is fitting that the contrast is made here between the Shepherd who was pierced and smitten and the false prophets, even that great miracle-working false prophet who shall come and deceive our people because the fountain of living was forsaken and continues to be! Never forget the fate of the false prophet... which is eternal death.
Consider now the following question concerning the wounds in the hands of Christ, a question to be asked in the Millennium which needs to be understood by the true disciples of Christ now!Rev. 19:20
And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
Dr. Bullinger points out in "The Companion Bible" on page 1294 that "Messiah is here spoken of, in contrast with these prophets." He also notes that it is spoken in the yet future time, and referring to His past rejection! In other words, the time is in that day, even the first day of the Millennium, when the question is asked concerning the wounds "between His hands", i.e. in His palms. He got them when He was wounded and pierced to pay the price AND to REDEEM His people as per Psalm 69. That is WHY Christ said on the cross "I thirst"! He was quoting that great Psalm of redemption*.Zech. 13:6
And one shall say unto Him, What are these wounds in Thine hands? Then He shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of My friends.
Awake means to "open your eyes" and since Jesus Christ quoted this verse in Mat. 26, while speaking to His disciples, let us go there and seek to see more, as in understand more.Zech. 13:7
Awake, O sword, against My Shepherd, and against the Man that is my Fellow, saith the LORD of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones.
To be "offended" means to "trip up", to "stumble", as in apostasy!Matthew 26:31
Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad.
And so it is that Peter would come to understand through his experience demonstrating the offence, having said to Christ Himself that he would NEVER be offended, and he would write the following concerning Jesus Christ, our Rock, in 1 Peter 2:8:offended = skandalizo, skan-dal-id'-zo, Greek 4624; ("scandalize"); from Greek 4625 (skandalon); to entrap, i.e. trip up (figurative stumble [transitive] or entice to sin, apostasy or displeasure) :- (make to) offend.
That's right, Jesus Christ Himself, our Rock, will be (even is) a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence (skandalizo), to them which stumble at His Word, i.e. are Biblically illiterate! Got it? The part of Zech. 13:7 Christ doesn't directly quote is that "He will turn mine hand upon the little ones" which means He will protect the little ones who are the remnant, i.e. God's elect. To that end, Christ told His disciples that after He was risen, He would go before them into Galilee (see also John 10:4)."And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed."
If your "eyes are now open" to purpose of the sword against My Shepherd, you will understand there is a great twofold purpose for the raising up of the false shepherd and the tribulation by "fire" of the great apostasy!
The majority of Christians shall be deceived by the spurious messiah. They will be the first women (virgins) taken in the field! They will stumble and fall because they will believe he is their rock, Jesus Christ! Why? Because even now they stumble at His Word. They simply do not know the Word of God for the false shepherds have forsaken the living fountain of water and have spoken "lies" in the name of Christ. Hopefully not too many of our people will be so inclined to listen to false prophets during the Millennium. Is that not what we just read in this lesson?Zech. 13:8
And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the LORD, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein.
As for the elect, the remnant of His people, they shall come through the fire (as did Shadrach and company) and be purified and made white! No, they won't fly away in some rapture to escape the tribulation. And you know what? Neither will they forsake Him this time but they shall "take a stand against the fiery darts" (Eph. 6) and they shall stand firm and unshakable upon the immovable rock*.
It is written! Will you be among them? I pray that you are!
*Remember Zech. 12:3? Just let someone try to lift it up and remove it!
How beautiful and how perfect is the Plan of God for this generation![9] And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God.
We just thank our Father for His Word, that Living Fountain that shall soon be opened and flow as a river forevermore!
*Here is an except on the redemption by the "Redeemer" from our study of John 19. When Jesus Christ was wounded and hung on the cross, the last thing He did before He gave up His life was to redeem His people.
This is so incredible that it is a shame our teachers and ministers do not teach the full story of the miracle on the cross to our people, the reason for the wounds in His palms. They continue to see only human flesh and so teach that He was merely thinking of Himself, His physical pain, when He said "I thirst". But I assure you He was NOT! He was thinking of the reason He came to dwell in the flesh, which was to pay the price as the sacrificial Passover Lamb and redeem the lost sinners. Yes, He was as ALWAYS unselfishly thinking of the children, which includes you and me!John 19:28
After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, "I thirst".
You see, the Roman soldiers have finished casting lots for His coat (Ps. 22) and Jesus now knew that all of the scriptures pertaining to others have now been accomplished, exactly as they are written. So the time has finally come for the scriptures of the 69th Psalm to be fulfilled concerning the "Redeemer", for having now made provision for the woman, the time has now come to "redeem" her.
So just as Jesus quoted and
taught the 22nd Psalm beginning
with verse 1, "My God, My God,
why has Thou forsaken Me.", He now quotes
and teaches from the 69th Psalm, the "Psalm of Israel's Redemption",
saying
"I thirst"
(Ps. 69:1,21).
You should now pause and turn to the 69th Psalm and read it in its entirety. If you are fortunate to have a Companion Bible you will aided by the structures beginning on page 759.
Here is a "cut" from the outline:
H | K Psalm 69 - THE KING WAITS FOR DELIVERANCE (v. 14) FROM SUFFERINGS, SHAME, AND SORROW. (THE TRESPASS OFFERING). pg. 759.
K | vs. 1-21 Prayer
vs. 22-29 Imprecation
vs. 30-36
Praise pg. 784
When you read the final verses of Praise (Ps. 69:30-36) you will find that just like Psalms 22 it ends with a prophecy concerning the "seed", who after having "served Him" in this final generation (Ps. 22) by declaring His Word, they shall inherit the glorious City of God (Ps. 69):
Yes, in His final moments just before He died Jesus was telling us that the "scripture must be fulfilled", of Psalms 69, when He said, "I thirst"! Read again John 19:28 "After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, "I thirst". It clearly says He said, "I thirst", in order to fulfill the scripture, the Word of God, NOT because He was thirsty!Psalm 22:30-31
A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.[31] They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this.
Psalm 69:34
Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing that moveth therein.[35] For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah: that they may dwell there, and have it in possession.
[36] The seed also of his servants shall inherit it: and they that love His name shall dwell therein.
Do you see? I hope you do, for it is so beautiful and perfect, as He is!
And so Psalm 69:21 is fulfilled, letting you know that the Redeemer is indeed Jesus Christ:John 19:29
Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth.
And finally:Psalm 69:21
They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
The final words from the lips of Yeshua Messiah are the final words from the 22nd Psalm, which is Hebrew translates to "It is finished". Notice also that the Savior, our Redeemer, did NOT die and then His head dropped forward. That is because no man could take His life so...John 19:30
When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, "It is finished": and He bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
We have come to the last chapter of Zechariah (Remembered of Yah) which brings us to the last day of this flesh age and the dawning of a new day, a day known as the day of the LORD. And what a tremendous view of the events of that day our Father gives us in this 14th chapter. The message is clear and simple because the symbolic imagery is vividly graphic! But it is as with all analogies using symbolism in that symbols can either hide and obscure the meaning of what is being said or they can make "clear as bell" what is meant if one has been privileged, normally by his or her asking to be shown, what the symbols mean. In fact, that is precisely why Jesus Christ spoke to the multitudes in parables, to BOTH hide what was said to the multitudes and to make it clear to His disciples when they later came to Him and asked Him to explain the symbols. Of course, don't take my word for it that that is why Christ spoke in parables unless you first document it. That you can easily do in Mat. 13:
And so now you know why it is that Christ always spoke unto the multitudes in parables! To those who come to Him, to His Word, and ask, it is given. However, the multitudes, the main streamers, always went their way saying things like "Wasn't that a nice sermon today?" There is nothing new under the sun. Matthew 13:34Matthew 13:10
And the disciples came, and said unto Him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?[11] He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:
Let us now conclude our study of Zechariah. In this final chapter we are going to see Jesus Christ, the King of kings and Lord of lords, come to Jerusalem after the abomination of desolation, Satan, has sat in the midst of the temple and made the whole land spiritually desolate by deceiving the whole world into believing he is God! Then, at the appointed time, the LORD shall come forth and cleanse the temple, pulverizing the "stones" of the temple, and defeating His enemies and the kingdoms of this world shall become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of His Christ, and He shall reign for ever and ever! What a glorious day it shall be when that 7th Trump sounds!
Let us now read of that day!Rev. 11:15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and He shall reign for ever and ever.
This is speaking to Jerusalem saying that when the spoil (the prey) has been divided and taken by the one who sits in the midst of thee, i.e. Satan sitting in the temple upon Mt. Zion, then the day of LORD shall come.Zech. 14:1
Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
The next verse explains:
When the final siege of Jerusalem has taken place by the king of Babylon, Satan, and the houses (temples, or even families, i.e. the houses of Israel) have been rifled (spiritually plundered) and the women (adulteresses/idolaters) ravished (shagal in Hebrew; to copulate with, to lie with, i.e. spiritually seduced) and half (which means "the middle or midst of") the city shall go forth into captivity, i.e. the false-christ comes and sits in the temple and takes the prey, THEN shall the LORD go forth and fight against those nations (which have all joined together in the NWO).[2] For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
Nevertheless, even so, never forget what we learned in this great book that the remnant, God's elect, are protected by the "wall", His wall of fire, and that no harm shall come to them.
We are going to read in verses 6 & 7 that this day, this day of battle, of war, when the LORD comes forth and fights, will be like no other day. Here is a type of that day like no other when the LORD fought for His people Israel. It is often called "Joshua's long day".[3 ]Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
Though they know they sling the stones of truth, those like David know that it is the LORD who goes before them into battle! And at this time, the nations shall have all joined together into one beast, even one great mountain, the New World Order, even the mountain that those of faith shall move and cast into the sea. In other words, those nations shall come against Jerusalem, the mountain of the Lord, and He shall go forth and do the fighting for His people and the enemy shall be utterly defeated. It is written, we have the victory in Him!Joshua 10:13-14
And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.[14] And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the LORD fought for Israel.
We know that there shall be a great "earthquake", a shaking of all the "mountains" of the earth (Hos. 2:21), which means a shaking of all the nations when Jesus Christ returns. And in that day when His feet stand upon the Mount of Olives this flesh age shall be over and everyone, ALL people, will be instantly changed into their spiritual bodies. Paul makes this very clear in 1 Cor. 15:50-52. And yet, God is going to cleave the Mount of Olives and open a great valley, making a path of salvation, a way of escape, through the valley of the mountains, i.e. through the nations. The picture of the mountain cleaving and the path through the valley, etc., is given to us to graphically illustrate to our minds what is happening spiritually.[4] And His feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
How far does the valley of the mountain's reach? Unto Azal, which means "noble" or even the Noble One. In other words, He is going to make a path to the mountain of God where the Noble One resides. This applies to the remnant, His elect, those He protects.[5] And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.
[6] And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:
[7] But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.
The living waters spring from that fountain we read about in chapter 13 (Zech. 13:1). These two living waters which flow from sea to sea (throughout the world) continually, during all seasons, are not physical rivers. That is not what we are to learn from this for waters and rivers and mountains are just symbols used to place pictures in our minds in order that we might understand that which is spiritual, the things we cannot see (Rom. 1:20)! You "see", by this point in Zechariah one should know that these two rivers (the rivers of Ezek. 47) are no different in that sense from what we learned concerning the two witnesses, that one is of the kingship line and one of priesthood line. That is because there are two horns (powers) of the Lamb, which are those of King of kings and Lord of lords (Rev. 11:15). In other words, at that day and from henceforth there shall be ONE KING and ONE LORD over all the earth whose rivers of TRUTH (His Word) and JUSTICE (His Righteous Judgment) shall flow like mighty rivers from beneath His throne through all the earth![8] And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.
To wit, notice the next verse:
Remember we learned in the last chapter that the names of all idols will be ridden from the land? There shall be only one name, one Lord, one king over all the earth. There shall also be a great crushing of all the powers and a gathering (confiscation) of all the wealth of the nations and Mount Zion and Jerusalem shall be lifted up![9] And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.
To understand the full meaning of this verse one needs to know that Geba was a town along the north boundary and Rimmon was a town in the southern portion of Judah. So what we have described here FROM Geba to Rimmon is all the land outside the city or, as the context of the remainder of the verse shows, "surrounding" the city of Jerusalem. The city itself is spoken of in contrast to the surrounding land and described by its "four" gates which face North (Benjamin's or Ephraim's gate), West (the first gate or Old Gate), East (the corner gate), and South (the sheep gate near the tower of Hananeel).Zech. 14:10
All the land shall be turned as a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem: and it [i.e. Jerusalem] shall be lifted up, and inhabited in her place [see Zech. 12:6], from Benjamin's gate unto the place of the first gate, unto the corner gate, and from the tower of Hananeel unto the king's winepresses.
Micah 4:1-2
But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it.
[2] And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and He will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
Remember the description we read in Zech. 8:4-5 of how safe and peaceful it will be in the city, i.e. the figurative picture of children playing and old men and women sitting in the streets. To wit, the word "destruction" in Hebrew is "cherem" which means "a shutting in". There will be no more captivity, no more fear, and no more utter destruction for we also know from Rev. 20:1-3 that the old dragon, the desolator, will be bound and cast back into (shut in) the bottomless pit during that time.Zech. 14:11
And men shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more utter destruction; but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited.
This verse sure conjures up some vivid imagery in the minds of the reader, doesn't it? And rightfully so.. it should... because it is designed to do so! However, one should not go wavering to and fro, back and forth, from thinking in the flesh to the spiritual in this chapter. We are talking from here on out about that day, the day of Christ's return at the sound of the 7th Trump, when Christ returns and ends this flesh age and everyone, ALL people... the good, the bad, and the ugly, are changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, into their spiritual bodies (1 Cor. 15:50-52). If that is how you see this verse, just as a change of bodies, then so be it.[12] And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.
Perhaps though you can "see" that this verse is speaking figuratively, in picturesque format, about the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people who have fought, as in warred, against Jerusalem! It is talking about the pestilence, even their punishment, their "going down in defeat" when "the fire of His wrath" (Ezek. 38:19) is poured out upon them. In other words, they are going to FEEL the HEAT, the FIRE of His WRATH from head to toe! And just as the gods of Egypt were turned against them in the plagues (such as the Frog Goddess they worshipped could not spare them from the plague of frogs) neither shall the gods of this generation, gold and silver, etc., be able to deliver the nations. Zeph. 1:18 "Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD'S wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he shall make even a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land."
Hey, it's going to be a hot time in the old town tonight for the enemies of God. All that is evil in this flesh age is going to be consumed by His fire for as it is written in Heb. 12:29, "Our God is a consuming fire!" Peter also speaks about the coming of that day, the day of God, when all the elements (evil rudiments) shall melt with "fervent heat"! That is HIS HEAT, the fire of His wrath and it will easily consume their tongues, their speech!
If it helps one to understand this better, what is being said here is analogous to the great winepress that squeezes the grapes at this same time of the "great harvest" and the blood (the juice of the grape) runs as high as the horses bridles!2 Peter 3:12
Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements [rudiments] shall melt with fervent heat?
Rev. 14:20
And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.
Do you remember from our study of Haggai when he spoke to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, a type of God's elect who was born in confusion (Babel) and was called forth to be a governor, a ruler?[13] And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the LORD shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour.
Jesus Christ is going to come forth and "shake the heavens and the earth" and "overthrow the nations"? He is going to destroy their strength (all their horses) and there shall be a "great tumult" as is a "great uproar" as in "great distress among the nations" (Luke 21:26) because they will be brought down, every one by the sword of his brother. Touché! That is the spiritual earthquake that will happen at Jesus Christ's return!Haggai 2:21-22
Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, I will shake the heavens and the earth;[22] And I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the heathen [nations]; and I will overthrow the chariots, and those that ride in them; and the horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the sword of his brother.
Those with wisdom and eyes to see know that Judah is mixed with "good" and "bad" figs (Jer. 24)Zech. 14:14
And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the heathen round about shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance.
And so they know who it is of Judah who shall also fight at Jerusalem, against Jerusalem! Certainly not the governors of Judah, God's elect, for as we learned in chapter 13, they shall stand firm upon the rock, i.e. with the King of kings! No, it shall be those who possess this great wealth spoken of in this verse, those whose gods are gold and silver, i.e. those who claim to be of Judah (Rev. 2:9 & 3:9) who have brought forth the nations of the NWO to fight against Jerusalem. Their spoils are going to be "gathered together" as in confiscated! Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and their shall be much weeping and tumult! Just read Rev. 18 and you will understand.
Here's a short excerpt:
The same thing (plague of confiscation, poof!) shall happen to all the commerce of the NWO (next verse).Rev. 18:15-17
The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing, [16] And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls! [17] For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off...
Horses are symbolic of power and are even used to describe the Four Hidden Dynasties (powers) in Rev. 6. All these beasts in Zech. 14:15 are beasts of power, of burden, which carry forth commerce in like manner as ships. They shall receive the same "plague" which means they too (i.e. the power of trade and commerce) shall be taken away, confiscated! Babylon the great is coming down! It is that simple! You see, there is a new King of righteousness in town and His rules and His Word shall apply from here on out, like it or not! The nations therefore had better get their acts together and do that which follows in verse 16 or they shall experience the "real lake of fire" at the end of the Millennium which won't consume their flesh this time, but rather their very souls! That is why Christ told us not to be concerned about those who can kill the body (flesh), but rather fear [revere] the one who can bring about the final plague, the death of the soul in the lake of fire: Matthew 10:28 "And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear Him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell [gehenna]."Zech. 14:15
And so shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the ass, and of all the beasts that shall be in these tents, as this plague.
So the nations and the peoples of the nations that "missed the mark" in this flesh age better had get busy and do the following, learning and walking in His ways:
Notice the striking contrast here with what those nations were doing when they came against Jerusalem to fight the LORD of hosts, before their defeat and destruction at the coming of the LORD. They SHALL henceforth go up every year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the Feast of Tabernacles. They SHALL, that is, if they want to be part of the second resurrection and live past the consuming fire which comes at the END of the Millennium, following the Great White Throne judgment![16] And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.
That is why the Feast of Tabernacles is specifically mentioned here, because it is the time of the great harvest of harvests, i.e. the time of the Millennium in which they better keep (live) according to His Word! Will they have free choice to decide not go up to Jerusalem? Yes they will! There shall even be controversy during that time (liberalism doesn't die easily)! Nevertheless, they will be given opportunity in that day to learn and to walk in His ways and if they "miss the mark", if they don't learn to discern between the holy and the profane and walk the walk during that time, they will be sentenced at the great white throne judgment and suffer the second death, the ultimate "plague of fire" by being consumed in the lake of fire along with Satan, the son of perdition. We mentioned Ezek. 44:23-24 earlier so let's read it now to document what shall be taught and also that there will be controversy during the Millennium, which implies free will and freedom of choice.
So what happens to those who do not come up unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord?Ezekiel 44:23-24
And they [the Zadok] shall teach my people the difference between the holy (Christianity, lead by Jesus Christ) and profane (religion, lead by Satan), and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.
[24] And in controversy [i.e. when there is controversy] they shall stand in judgment; and they shall judge it according to my judgments: and they shall keep my laws and my statutes in all mine assemblies; and they shall hallow my sabbaths.
They shall receive no rain? What does that mean spiritually? Well, rain is symbolic of truth, His word (Deut. 32), and the withholding of rain causes spiritual drought and famine followed by pestilences, plagues... and eventually the ultimate plague... death!Zech. 14:17
And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain.
Very simply, if they do not receive "rain" during the Millennium, they will wither and become dry and be consumed by fire at the end of the Millennium. The next verse documents that they will receive the plague for lack of rain.
What did the LORD smite all the nations with that came and fought against Jerusalem? His "fire", remember (vs. 12)?[18] And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith the LORD will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
If they "miss the mark", i.e. don't make it in "THE FIRST RESURRECTION TO ETERNAL LIFE", during the Feast of Tabernacles, during the time of the great harvest, they shall ultimately be punished, if they still follow Satan at the close of the Millennium, with death in the lake of fire. By that time they shall have made their own decision even judging themselves which will be testified to in their own book by the way in which they walked, and they shall be without excuse. They shall be without excuse because this is how it shall be throughout the Millennium, in that day:[19] This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
Hold it! You may be doing it again! Our minds like to think flesh, materially... in this case... pots and bowls and real horses, because that is what our minds SEE in imagery, in the PICTURES painted in our mind's eye by the holy spirit for the purpose of communicating to us. But remember, we learned in the very first chapter about "horses", even those four horses, the four powers known as the Four Hidden Dynasties which are now in the control of Satan and his children of disobedience. It is those horses (powers) they ride and abuse and use in unrighteousness to bring forth the oppression and captivity of the New World Order, and to bring forth the nations of the world to fight against Christ and His holy mountain![20] In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD; and the pots in the LORD'S house shall be like the bowls before the altar.
You SEE, this great Book of Zechariah (Remembered of Yahveh) ends in perfect symmetry to its beginning. It began with the four horns, the four horses (those powers of Religion, Economics, Politics, and Education) belonging to and in control of the unrighteous false messiah and his children of disobedience and ends on that day with those horses (powers) having been totally confiscated from the nations, from the New World Order, and from those of Judah (the bad figs, the kenites) who fought against Jerusalem.
In other words, dear Christian, the beautiful truth of the matter is that whenever a "bell" of a horse (power) is rung, it shall ring HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD! Or look at this way: If someone tries to ring a bell on a horse (exercise power and authority) and they do not "ring it" in righteousness, i.e. according to God's Holy Word, then God's elect will come forth and "ring their necks" for them with a rod of iron! To wit, there shall never again be a crack in our Bell of Liberty. Got it? Praise God and may His kingdom come, on earth as it is in heaven... and it SHALL... even sooner than many might think!
And what of these pots in Jerusalem? You should have no trouble whatsoever understanding this after the detailed lessons we learned concerning the false prophets and those "sheeptraffickers"!
You see, ordinary pots used for cooking and preparing food shall all be like the bowls before the altar that were used to "catch the blood" of the sacrifice unto His Holiness, the Lord of hosts. In other words, there shall be no phony sacrifices or false doctrines or "unclean food" cooked and/or served in Jerusalem and in Judah! And in that day, there shall be NO MORE sheeptraffickers, merchants of sheep (which is what Canaanite means here) in the house of LORD of hosts![21] Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto the LORD of hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and seethe therein: and in that day there shall be no more the Canaanite in the house of the LORD of hosts.
What is the conclusion therefore given in these last two verses? It is very simple! The reason that all Power on Earth shall be executed with JUSTICE, with HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD, and the reason only the TRUTH of HIS WORD shall be taught in all the land, is because the KING OF KINGS and LORD of LORDS doth reign with His Zadok in ALL THE EARTH and His TRUTH and His JUSTICE shall flow like mighty rivers from beneath His throne throughout the whole earth. We so look forward to that day!
We love you so much that even now we sing in our hearts from that great Song of Moses:
Hallelujah!"Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints" (Rev. 15:3)!

Revelation 20:14 "And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death." [14] "And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire." [15]
The first death is the death of these flesh bodies, most die from old age, but many much younger, some by accidents, some by disease and some by murder, some murdered in the womb even prior to their birth.
Editor's Note: The first death is just the "shadow of death" talked about in Psalms 23. The valley of which, we are now in this flesh life, walking through. But the death of the soul is the second death, and following the second death, there will be no record left that that person even existed in any form, not even in the memory of their former loved ones.
Editor's Note: The second death, the death of our soul, That is the death we need to be concerned about!
Having said that; Jesus' spent a lot of time teaching on this same subject when he walked this earth as a flesh and blood man. He taught us that the time of the tribulation, that Daniel told us about, has been shortened from the three and one half years to five months, so that gives God's elect an additional 3 years to plant seeds of Truth about Satan in peoples minds before he (Satan) arrives on this earth, claiming he is God, to test us proclaiming Christians to see if we really do know the difference between what is Holy (Jesus) and what is Profane (Satan). Jesus in His teaching said that most of us will worship Satan as our God thinking Satan is Jesus. Jesus layed the blame of our ignorance about not being able to tell the diference between Himself and Satan or taht he Satan even comes first on our churches and their not teaching the Bible book by book, chapter by chapter, and verse by verse, rightly dividing the "Word of Truth", so thefore, we are Biblically ignorant. We don't even understand that Satan comes first and will claim to be Jesus.
Then after Satan's five months here in person is the end, when the seventh trumpet blows and Christ returns to set up His 1000 year Millennial Kingdom. After the Millennium age, that is the time that Christ's loyal angels will gather up all the unsaved and cast them into the lake of fire and THEY WILL BE NO MORE.
This note is to all Christians who have become, one Sunday after another,
pew potatoes,in the many so-called Christian churches of our land,
which don't teach the Bible, book by book, chapter by chapter, and
verse by verse, rightly dividing "The Word of Truth" 2 Timothy 2:15;
therefore, are Biblically illiterate about what the Bible really teaches.

While there is still time!
He
would make man, us, His sons, to dwell in flesh (animal) bodies in this 2nd earth age
fashioned after the very likeness of ourselves, and yet be born
innocent, which is WITHOUT MEMORY of
the world that then was, the
1st earth age.
That way we could be free from the
knowledge of the 1st earth age and what we did effecting us as we
choose whether to love God in this 2nd earth age or follow Satan's tail as many of us did in the 1st
earth age.
But
the penalty for sin will still be death (this fiasco proved that all of us, by our own
free will are capable
of sinning, and most certainly will;
as Paul said in Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned, and come short
of the glory of God".
And
so our Father, in His infinite love for us, His children, decided to pay the price Himself, to come to
earth Himself
in the form of a man (His Son
Jesus in a
animal body, just like we are now in) DIE
FOR US, in our stead, and rise again from the dead (thereby, defeating death), that
we might be redeemed to Him and love Him as He so
wants us, His children, to do,
if we will just believe, repent of our sins, and ask His forgiveness, and by our own free will,
invite His Holy Spirit to come live in our heart and cleanse it (proving that we also love him, as He
loves us).

that not

Read the Old Testament prophets for a more complete history of ancient Israel because everything that happened to them physically; happened and is recorded in the Bible to let us know what is going to happen to our Christian nations SPIRITUALLY IN THIS LAST GENERATION OF THIS 2nd EARTH AGE (In the very near furture). 1Corinthians10:11 Now all these things happened (physically) unto them (the Israelites, our ancestors) for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come (spiritually).
And, we Americans, during the past half century, are doing exactly .what the ancient "House of Israel" did to cause God to punish them! TURING OUR BACKS ON GOD! Our punishment is already prophesied! Satan, as the false messiah is coming shortly, in person, claiming he is God, to CLEAR OUR SPIRITUAL CLOCKS! Are you. as an individual, ready for that? HAVE YOU ACCEPTED JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR PERSONAL LORD & SAVIOR? Will you be part of the "First Resurrection to ETERNAL LIFE" in a celestial body that never ages or gets sick, when the real JESUS CHRIST arrives, five months after Satan, the anti-christ comes? OR Will Jesus, when He arrives, find you already worshiping Satan as your God? Do you know how to tell them apart? Read "Some Biblical Facts about the Salvation of Your Soul". Click unto the link to it in the upper right corner of this web site.
Do you know that the instant the real Jesus Christ arrives you will be changed back into your celestial body; So, if you still bleed when pricked with a pin, that man claiming to be God is a fake, DONT BOW DOWN TO HIM! Read what Paul said in 1 Corinthians 15:35-53 first.Message to all my fellow Christians and followers of The American Wisdom Series: Blow ye the trumpet! Sound the alarm! Warn our people! He, the Assyrian, the spurious messiah (SATAN), shall come swiftly, as an eagle (or vulture) descends, against the House of Israel, i.e. the Christian nations of this 21st. century, because they have broken His covenant and played the role of the harlot though their idolatry! Do you think that Hosea is being told to preach some "new" revelation to the House of Israel, something they did not or should not already know? No, it was already written in God's Word, in the "law"!
That nation is the Kenites,i.e. descendants of Cain who is Satan's son from his sexual encounter with Eve, in the fig grove, in the "Garden of Eden". Yes Satan planted the tares in our flesh and blood human race! See Matthew 13:34-43Deut. 28:49
The LORD shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flieth; a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand;
Do you know what or who they were? (Note: throughout the Bible trees symbolically represent people) Don't forget. the second tree mentioned in the "Garden of Eden" knows both GOOD & EVIL.
Satan comes first claiming he is God! Satan was the tree in the garden with the knowledge of both good and evil. Don't you be fooled by the good he can and will do, to make you believe he is God! Study to show yourself approved; knowing the difference between what is holy (The Real Jesus Christ) and what is profane (The Instead-of-Christ, Satan, i.e.the anti-christ).;.Also remember,he brings his fallen angels, from the days of Noah, with him and he already has plenty of help here on earth, i.e. Kenites from his encounter with Eve in the garden!

The
ancient "House of Israel", our
ancestors,(i.e. today's
Christian Nations located in
North-western Europe, the Isles of Britain and the Americas,in this 21st century, have become
unfaithful adulterous nations. Hosea
is a national call as well as an
individual call! #1
to America and the
Christian nations of North-western Europe and the Isles of Britain, as
well as
to non-Christian nations, because He loves us all. #2 to each one of us as
individuals,
because salvation directly affects each of our souls individually for
all eternity!
1Corinthians 10:11 Now
all these things happened unto them (the Israelites, our
ancestors) for ensamples: and they are written for our
admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
In Hosea God tells us exactly the way it is; No punches pulled! Salvation (ETERNAL LIFE) is available to all of us; But, so is eternal death, (TO BE NO MORE, FOREVER!). Have you repented of your sins and invited Jesus into your heart to cleanse it? Are you studying His Word to show yourself approved? Have you learned how to tell the difference between the real Jesus Christ and the fake Jesus, SATAN, when he comes to earth five months before the return of our savior, the real Jesus Christ, claiming he is God? Live Link to=>> “What Happens to Our Bodies at the Last Trump, when the real Jesus Christ Returns”
When will Jesus Christ return? He told us not to try to pick the exact day or time, because only the Father knows; but He did say in MARK 13:8, "Learn the Parable of the Fig Tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:"
MARK 13:30 "Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done." How long does He consider a generation? Let's turn to Hosea and Peter. Hosea 6:2 "After two days will He revive us: in the third day He will raise us up, and we shall live in His sight." Another question: How long is this day? Now we'll turn to 2 Peter 3:8 "But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day" Based on what we just learned in these three verses. Hosea speaks of the first resurrection when He will "raise us up" (to eternal life) and we shall "live in His sight"!
That happens on the third day following His return to His place, i.e. to the throne in heaven. How so? The "Day" He raises us up is known as the Millennium, the Lord's Day, the day of His return. In other words, after two days (2000 years) IS the third day! See 2 Peter 3:8 & Hosea 6:2
Two days (2000 years) after the crucifixion when Jesus Christ returned to His place, is the third day, which is the Day of the Lord, the Millennium (1000 years), the day when "we shall live in His sight".
"But as the days of Noe [Noah] were so shall also the
coming of the Son of Man be." (Matthew 24:37, 37)
What was happening in the days of Noah?
And

We need to know this because Jesus has told us it is going to happen again at His coming. We learn all about it in this 12 part study.

This is a lesson for all of us, who are currently living here on earth in these animal bodies, to evaluate this flesh and blood life within the proper perspective. Judgment of facts, circumstances, etc. with regard to their importance! See pamphlet #1733 "Does anybody really know what time it is? Does anybody really care?" "Turn! Turn! Turn!" Our Father will soon give this "world age" a final spin. It is what happens to you next which is important!

The Reason We are Now Living Here on Earth in Animal Bodies.
We
will take this study from chapter 12 of Revelation, which
John recorded after he was taken to heaven spiritually, by our
Lord, and SAW in the very plan of
God, from the
first
earth age even to the third (last) earth age, all in this chapter.
We will first see two contrasting "wonders" in heaven, one in verse 1 and the second in verse 3. We will document that the first four verses of this chapter pertain to the "world that then was" (2 Pet. 3), and not to this present earth age.
Let's begin. Remember, what you are about to read, John saw happening during the first earth age.
Can you SEE the PICTURE. She is a very beautiful woman.Rev. 12:1
And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
The word "wonder" means "sign" and so John saw a great sign in heaven, and wondrous it was. Would you like see one? Go outside on any clear night and look up at the stars, and wondrous it will be. And if you are familiar with the uncorrupted Zodiac the plan of God will appear, for it is the Bible in the stars. Did not God say in Genesis 1:14 that the lights in the firmament of the heaven are to be for SIGNS, and for seasons, and for days, and years? Yes He did. And He numbered and named them ALL.
Note: Your name and number is on one of them.
And so we begin with "The prophecy of the promised seed", Virgo, the virgin, who brings forth the man child and travel through the redeemer's conflict, etc., to Leo and destruction of the old serpent. It was declared in the "beginning of time" and repeated in Matthew 1:23 "Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us." (You must read appendix 12 in the Companion Bible and/or obtain the book "The Glory of the Stars" by E. Raymond Capt.)
So what about this woman in verse one who is clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and a crown of twelve stars? She symbolizes mother Israel and her 12 Royal sons, stars, chosen before the foundation of this earth age, through whom would come Messiah. Do you remember the dream that one of those stars had in this earth age while in the flesh? His name was Joseph, son of Jacob, whose name was changed to Israel.
Eleven "stars", sons, made obeisance to the twelfth, Joseph. Of course you know the story of how this twelfth star Joseph's two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim eventually became the United States of America and Great Britain, the superpowers of the current world. See Live Link to- "Do you know who you really are?"Genesis 37:9
And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me.
Are you a Israelite? Be thoughtful before you answer. (Maybe you only think you're a Gentile!)
This "wonder" is a great sign in the heavens. The "woman" here is not the church, for a church building has never delivered any child. This "mother" has nothing to do with the church. This woman is "Israel", the twelve sons of Jacob, or tribes [John 16:21].
The same political and social order that was in existence at the end of the first earth age, prior to this age of flesh man, will be ruling over the earth at the end of our current earth age. Fix in your mind that the time period that is being spoken of here is that time when the souls of men were not yet in the flesh, it was in that first earth age before the events following Genesis 1:2.
Notice that the woman hasn't given birth yet to the Messiah and in fact would not until this earth age for which she is travailing, i.e. sorrowing. The time just before the "birth of a new age" is always liken to the labor pangs, the travailing of a woman. As Christ would say regarding the signs just before the end of this age, "these are the beginnings of sorrows" (look up "sorrows", it means "travail", labor pangs) Mark 13:8. Also see Romans 8:22 and 1 Thes. 5:3.Rev. 12:2 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
This "child" to be delivered is the Messiah, and the woman delivering the child is the symbol of "Israel", however, in the physical sense of this earth age, we call her "Mary". It is Satan's sole purpose to destroy this child. This woman is the wife and the son of Almighty God, and God wants us to feel and understand the events occurring then. What happens to them affects Him, exactly as it would you or I in a similar case.
Now back to John, what happened to John? Oh there he is still observing what was happening in heaven during the first earth age and the purpose of our being here in our animal bodies..
John now SEES the second wonder, the bad guy, the one who rebelled and fell in the "world that then was".
3] And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.Can you SEE the PICTURE? He is a very ugly beast, in contrast to the very beautiful woman!
The dragon is Satan (see verse 9) and he has his seven heads, symbolic of his 7,000 royal priests (these are the same angels, loyal to Satan, came to earth without waiting their turn to be placed by God in the womb of a woman to be born in the flesh into this earth age and were impregnating daughters of Adam and Eve to try to contaminate their pure pedigree blood line prior to the birth of Jesus Christ) with the breastplates on (Remember? They get zapped at the return of Christ in Rev. 11:13), This zapping will happen after they come to earth again in this earth age, along with Satan, when he comes claiming he is God, five months prior to Christ's return. They will be Satan's ministers/preachers when he is here claiming to be God. Woe,Wow!; Are we ever going to face trouble if we are still alive during that 5 month period. These 7000 are angels just like we were before being born of woman; But we are now flesh and blood beings, THEY ALONG WITH SATAN ARE STILL SUPERNATURAL BEINGS. We won't stand a chance, unless we have "God's Gospel Armour Protection" in our minds. and ten horns, symbolic of power. We'll find in verse 9 that his angels get booted out of heaven and come with the dragon, Satan, to this earth. When? At the second Woe Trump, remember? So we see Satan's power structure in the "world that then was" which caused the "fall" of 1/3 of the "stars", us, which we'll see in verse 4.
And when we get to the next chapter, chapter 13, we'll see this creep, Satan the beast, with almost exactly the same power structure he had in first earth age of which we just read. The difference is he has handed out three promotions and elevated them to royal, priestly status, i.e. he has three more crowns.
Rev. 13:1
And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
One last thought on Rev. 12:3. He is called the "Red" dragon. Look up "red" in Strong's Concordance and you''ll see that it is "purrhos" from "pur" meaning "fire" or "literal or figurative, specially lightning". And so Jesus Christ would say regarding this fire breathing dragon in Luke 10:18 "And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven."
This wonder, the "Great red dragon", is always Satan. Here again, it is all happening prior to Genesis 1:2, in the first earth age.
All these events will be just like it will be at the end of this earth age.
Satan had seven dominions then, with ten agencies of power and that had their authority. Satan had complete universal control over that prior earth kingdom; and he had total political control. This we will see in Revelation 13, is a copy of this earth age, and the United Nations, with it's ten units of power, taking control over all it's dominions. Though the forms of government and their systems appear at first to be the same, we will see the differences between these two ages: That of the first, and this flesh age we are now in.
Do you know what Satan did in the first earth age? It is revealed to us in the very next verse. It is the reason that you and I are here on this earth, in these flesh (animal) bodies, today!
Rev. 12:4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.The "stars" of heaven are the "sons of God". Yes, that's us. (All of us human beings while still in our spiritual bodies during that first earth age) This "old dragon" caused one third of us, 1/3 of all of God's creation to follow him. That would be one third of us while still in our "soul bodies". We are also called "angelic souls". No, we did not and do not have wings, only the cherubs do.
What it is saying here, is through Satan's fall in the first earth age, he drew one third of us, God's children to him. He caused us to fall also, because we worshipped him, and believed in him to be our God. That is also his desire for this earth age; to cause you and me, the children of God, to worship him.
Satan's sentence is so recorded in Ezekiel 28:
Ezekiel 28:18-19
Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.
"And never shalt thou be any more" is exactly what "perish" means! Satan is even called the son of perdition, the son who will perish. He's as good as dead which is why he is also called "death", to whom some of us will be delivered up to.[19] All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.
Our loving Father did not at that time, judge the rest of that 1/3 of us who followed Satan, because the penalty for those found guilty would be death also! Sentencing one of your children to die is one thing, but sentencing 5 billion of your children to die, is another thing! Not something anyone would want to do. So He postponed our judgment until after the Millennium, after His plan to salvage us, His plan of salvation, is fulfilled.
Those of you who have children know full well that you cannot order or command or decree by law that your children love you. It must come from their hearts. And so it is with our Father and we, His children. The price has now been paid. We can live eternally with Him, if we'll turn to Him and love Him, for He first loved us and He still does.
What say ye?
John's note: LET'S STOP AND
THINK FOR A FEW
MOMENTS ABOUT WHAT ALL THIS MEANS. If there are currently more
than 7 1/2 billion people living on earth and the experts tell us
that half
of the people who were ever born are alive and living here right now.
(I don't know if that is true or not, but that's allot of people. 15
billion people!) If
it is true that means 1/3 of 15 billion people
followed Satan in the first earth age. That would mean
over 5
billion people followed Satan. Is it any wonder God did not want to
sentence all those His children/us to die, the second death, along with
Satan,
i.e. the death of our soul, to be no more.not
want to
sentence all those His children/us to die, the second death, along with
Satan,
i.e. the death of our soul, to be no more.
Why do you think so many more than 1/3 of us
aren't interested in God in this 21st. century?
I've been a printer all my life so while I'm speculating; Think about this. It wasn't until 1454 A.D. that Johanes Gutenberg, in Germany invented movable printing type. Until that invention the printing of the Bible was not impossible but since each page, up until that time had to be carved from a block of wood it wasn't practical to try to do. Can you imagine the frustration if when you were carving the last letter of the last word on a page, you sneezed and the whole carved page, weeks worth of work, was wasted. Or when you put that block of wood into your printing press and started printing, you had a paper jam up and smashed the block of wood making it's print illegible, and it had to again be carved. But with individual re-usable metal letters, all of a sudden the printing of a Bible was possible and practical and by 1456 Bibles were being printed. God certainly knew that and maybe He had something to do with the invention, and the timing of Gutenberg's invention. (It did happen in Germany, a Christian nation founded by descendants of one of the Israelite tribes who migrated west after the Assyrian invasion of the ancient "House of Israel") Also, is it only coincidence that the Bible was first translated to English by the King of another of the tribes of ancient Israelites, King James of England (the 1611 King James Version of our Bible)?
My point is God knew all this and it is only speculation on my part but, do you think God would have placed many of his unfaithful first earth age children in earth women's womb, to be born into this earth age in the years prior to the printing of His Word, when their conversion to Christianity would have been much less likely if their only knowledge of it came from hand copied scrolls, and than not very likely that the common man would have access to them. I don't believe he would have or did. That means that a very large (out of proportion) percentage of our current world population are people who were followers of Satan in the first earth age. (20th and 21st century population for it wasn't until the 20th century that Bibles were mass produced and available to the common man.)
And
even then Satan has been at work within our so-called Christian church (as
he is to this day) to
prevent the masses from reading the newly translated Bible.

There are more people living in today's world who followed Satan in the first earth age, and still do, (many of them KENITES) than there are people following Christ.

Make sure the version you use is a version of which the translation from original manuscript to final version you are using has been protected by The Massorah.
See appendix 30 below of the Companion Bible.
This Is Appendix 30 From The Companion Bible.
All the oldest and best manuscripts of the Hebrew Bible contain
on every page, beside the Text (which is arranged in two or more
columns), a varying number of lines of smaller writing, distributed
between the upper and lower margins. This smaller writing is called
the Massorah Magna or Great Massorah, while that in the side
margins and between the columns is called the Massorah Parva or
Small Massorah.
The illustration given below is a reduced facsimile of a Hebrew
Manuscript (16.25 x 12.375), written in a German hand, about the
year A.D. 1120.
file:///C:/Users/Dell/Documents/AWSfiles/massorahsample.bmp
The small writing in the margins in this particular Manuscript is
seen to occupy seven lines in the lower margin, and four lines in the
upper; while in the outer margins and between the three columns is
the Massorah Para.
The word Massorah is from the root masar, to devliver something
into the hand of another, so as to commit it to his trust. Hence the
name is given to the small writing referred to, because it contains
information necessary to those into whose trust the Sacred Text was
committed, so that they might transcribe it, and hand it down
correctly.
The Text itself had been fixed before the Massorites were put in
charge of it. This had been the work of the Sopherim (from saphar,
to count, or number). Their work, under Ezra and Nehemiah, was to
set the Text in order after the return from Babylon; and we read of it
in Nehemiah 8:8 1 (compare Ezra 7:6,11). The men of "the Great
Synagogue" completed the work. This work lasted about 110 years,
from Nehemiah to Simon the first, 410-300 B.C.
The Sopherim were the authorised revisers of the Sacred Text;
and, their work being completed, the Massorites were the authorised
custodians of it. Their work was to preserve it. The Massorah is
called "A Fence to the Scriptures," because it locked all words and
letters in their places. It does not contain notes or comments as such,
but facts and phenomena. It records the number of times the several
letters occur in the various books of the Bible; the number of words,
and the middle word; the number of verses, and the middle verse;
the number of expressions and combinations of words, etc. All this,
not from a perverted ingenuity, but for the set purpose of
safeguarding the Sacred Text, and preventing the loss or
misplacement of a single letter or word.
This Massorah is not contained in the margins of any one
Manuscript. No Manuscript contains the whole, or even the same
part. It is spread over many Manuscripts, and Dr. C.D. Ginsburg has
been the first and only scholar who has set himself to collect and
collate the whole, copying it from every available Manuscript in the
libraries of many countries. He has published it in three large folio
volumes, and only a small number of copies has been printed. These
are obtainable only by the original subscribers
When the Hebrew Text was printed, only the large type in the
columns was regarded, and small type of the Massorah was left,
unheeded, in the Manuscripts from which the Text was taken.
When translators came to the printed Hebrew Text, they were
necessarily destitute of the information contained in the Massorah;
so that the Revisers as well as the Translators of the Authorised
Version carried out their work without any idea of the treasures
contained in the Massorah; and therefore, without giving a hint of it
to their readers
This is the first time an edition of the Authorised Version has been
given containing any of these treasures of the Massorah, that affect
so seriouly the understanding of the Text. A vast number of the
Massoretic notes concern only the orthography, and matters that
pertain to the Concordance. But many of those which affect the
sense, or throw any additional light on the Sacred Text, are noted in
the margin of The Companion Bible.
Some of the important lists of words which are contained in the
Massorah are also given, videlicet, those that have the
"extraordinary points" (Appendix 31); the "eighteen emendations"
of the Sopherim (see Appendix 33); the 134 passages where they
substituted Adonai for Jehovah (see Appendix 32); and the Various
Readings called Severin (see Appendix 34). These are given in
separate Appendixes; but other words of any importance are
preserved in our marginal notes.
Readers of The Companion Bible are put in possession of
information denied to former generations of translators,
commentators, critics, and general Bible students.
For futher information on the Massorah see Dr. Ginsburg's
Introduction to the Hebrew Bible, of which only a limited edition
was printed; also a small pamphlet on The Massorah published by
King's Printers.
NOTE
1 The Talmud explains that "the book" meant the original text;
"distinctly" means explaining it by giving the Chaldee paraphrase;
"gave the sense" means the division of words, etc. according to the
sense; and "caused them to understand the reading" means to give
the traditional pronuciation of the words (which were then without
vowel points).

We've seen the two great signs in heaven. One was a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars. The sun "solar" represents the "sun of righteousness", Jesus Christ, and the moon "lunar, having no light of it's own" represents the "lunatic", Satan. So you could say that the woman, mother Israel, was clothed or covered, even protected by the LORD, wrapped in His arms. And of course the moon is under her feet where the footstool belongs.
Then we saw a great red dragon with seven crowned heads and ten horns. This is Satan and his power structure in the "world that then was" (2 Pet. 3:6), before this flesh age, where his tail drew, i.e. dragged down, a third of us, to rebel against our Father and follow after him.
And we saw the dragon, Satan, standing before the woman, which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was to be born. It was to be born at the appointed time, at the first advent in this earth age. So we now jump ahead closer to that time.
When we read that "all living came from mother Eve", it means that "Messiah came from, or through mother Eve". He came through the offspring of mothers Eve, and Mary, who was of pure Adam and Eve, formation pedigree, as described in Genesis 2:7. (as described in Genesis 2:7. The Hebrew word translated man in 2:7 is "eth-ha adham", the individual man Adam)And it is through the Messiah, Christ is offering eternal life to all mankind. For acceptance of God's gift, all mankind must pass from death to eternal life through the blood of Jesus Christ. So we see this refers to spiritual life, and not physical life.

#9006 God ask Noah to build a really big boat in his back yard. Why? "Because angels were coming to earth, impregnating daughters of eighth day man. God planned to rid the earth of them! Noah and his family were the only 8 people left in the land with pure eighth day blood in their veins. Them he would save! The pure blood line Christ was to be born to."
#9007 We know that at least two Kenites survived Noah's flood. Whether on the ark or in a part of the earth which was not flooded; I know not!
#7000&7007 "Two Sowers of seed; both the good and the bad"
The "man child" that was brought forth in the little town of Bethlehem when Jesus the Christ child was born. There are only two times that anyone sits upon this throne, and the only one to do this so far was a child. Get it? That child is Jesus Christ.Rev. 12:5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.
This brings us to Mary, who gave actual birth to Christ, but as you know, to get to this point and bring forth the promised Messiah (Gen. 3:15) from mother Eve on, was no small task as that great red dragon, that old serpent, tried to devour the "seed" from the beginning. (Satan tried to contaminate the pure pedigree bloodline from Adam and Eve to the virgin Mary)
And this "man child" was to rule all nations with a rod of iron, which didn't happen when He walked this earth and hasn't happened yet. He was born an innocent babe and died to pay the price for our sins. It is when Christ returns, at His second advent, that He takes command of all nations with the rod of iron. (Don't allow this to scare you! If you love the Lord and are one of His, you are on His side! You will endure until the end and NOT WORSHIP SATAN WHEN HE COMES TO EARTH FIRST CLAIMING TO BE GOD!)

Until The End
What a day the sounding of that 7th Trump, announcing the Day of the Lord, that Day of Vengeance, will be. Meanwhile "her child was caught up unto God, and to His throne" where He now sits at the right hand of the Father, and He will remain there until all His enemies are His footstool.Rev. 19:15
And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
Hebrews 10:12-13
But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; [13] From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.
Rev. 12:6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.From the parting of the Red Sea and the earthquake that split the ground asunder and swallowed all those who followed Korah, throughout the Bible, we can read how God has used nature and natural forces to protect His own and even defeat their enemies. It then should seem no great thing if the woman is protected by our Father, and she will be. We already read in Rev. 9 that Satan cannot harm in any way those with the seal of God in their foreheads.
But the wilderness is our place among the people, prepared of God, where He wants us to be. (This is why Jesus always taught in parables! But that is another story) It is not a physical place in the desert, like Petra, where we fly in a 747 Jumbo Jet to save our hides from some blood and guts battle espoused by Biblically illiterate preachers. We're foot soldiers of the Most High, and we can always be found on the front lines.
You may remember that John the Baptist was a voice crying in the wilderness, and common sense tells you he wasn't preaching to the animals. He was preaching to us!
So where are we now? In the whole scheme of things?Matthew 3:3
For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
This was a direct quote from the prophet Isaiah:
Isaiah 40:3
The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.
And remember what will the two witnesses be doing during those same 1260 days? Rev. 11:3 "And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth." They will be prophesying, teaching. They will continue to pump oil into the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
Question: Are these 2 witnesses the members of the two end time churches of Revelation 2:9 and 3:9? Satan will certainly want to kill them to shut them up when he comes to earth, in person, claiming he is God.
One thing is for sure, the woman is certainly not "hidden" somewhere for she will be persecuted when Satan gets here as we will see in verse 13. So much for the flying to Petra theory.
So get ready. War in heaven is about to take place in the next verse, and woe to the inhabiters of the earth.
War in heaven?Rev. 12:7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
"But I thought everything was peaceful and serene there with harps of gold and people sitting on fluffy clouds saying holy, holy, holy! War in heaven?"
Welcome to reality. Heaven is where Satan and his angels are right now, and wherever he is there's trouble. Yes, he's been here on earth in person before. He was in the garden and he was here when he tempted Christ, and of course as Lucifer in the 1st earth age.
But don't worry, he's no match for Michael and the rest of the Christian Army there.
See what I mean? He's a loser. And it's time this whole bunch of losers, Satan and his angels, get kicked out of heaven, to the earth. Woe! So when the war is finished on that battle front it resumes here on earth. Got your gospel armour on (Eph. 6)?[8] And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
This is the time of the sounding of the sixth trumpet, when Satan and his fallen angels are released upon the earth for the final five months period, spoken of in Revelation 9:5, 10. Satan will spend five months here on earth deceiving all mankind, then go to the pit for the thousand years. After that thousand years, Satan [not his fallen angels] will be released for a short period, then go to perdition [perish]. Once Satan is kicked out of heaven, he will not be allowed to return. Today Satan is in heaven accusing the saints before the Lord.
This is prophesy that will come in the very near future.
"So that's OK Michael, send them down, WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT'S HELP, we'll take it from here. Jesus has given us power over all our enemies. And believe us, we're thankful and give praise to Him because our names are written in the Book of Life."Luke 10:19-20
Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. [20] Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven. (Remember, Satan is the serpent and his fallen angel followers are the scorpions! And the offspring of Cain, the Kenites. from Satan's sexual encounter with Eve in the "Garden of Edan", God refers to as Locusts!) We have been given power, through Christ, to crush them all!
Question: Want is it "We Have Power to do?" Answer: "Tread on Them" Squash and they're history!
But, you must be able to recognize them!
Satan's angels, when they get here, will be disguised as angels of light, i.e. preachers, remember!
Luke 10:18 "And He said unto them, "I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
"This now is a new subject that Jesus is teaching us. This is Jesus speaking to His followers and it is prophetic, and refers back to the time of the garden of Eden, and Satan's fall from the first earth age. It also applies to Revelation 12: 7-9, when Michael will cast Satan out onto the earth, and his fallen angels will come with him.
(Does this mean that when Satan arrives on earth, five months before the actual return of Christ, he will bring 7000 of his fellow fallen angels with him as preachers?)
Beware!
So in the word "fall" indicates that Satan will be here in person because he was kicked out of heaven, and not on his own accord. The plan is set in motion, and it will take place exactly as it is written. Satan came in the first place as a deceiver, to destroy the seed line that the Christ would come through. The second time he will come as the false Messiah, to deceive all the people of the earth. It will happen exactly as it was prophesied.
Luke 10:19 "Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you."
You'll need it!
In the Greek text, it is "Behold I have given you the power..." The enemy is Satan, the one that will "fall as lightning from heaven onto the earth". The serpent is Satan, so his grandkids, the Kenites, are also serpents, the children of Satan, through his son Cain from the garden of Eden. The Scorpions are the fallen angels, that will be booted out of heaven on to the earth right along with Satan. Revelation 12:9 "And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him." This next time takes place at the sixth trump, and we will see these fallen angels of Satan here on earth in our generation.
Remember in the prior verses Jesus had stated that "I send you out as sheep among the wolves." Yet God will give those lambs that He sends out, power over all the wolves that come against them, but they must know how to attain that power and authority. It isn't valuable to them until the know how to use that power. Jesus gave His lambs "power over all your enemies." then Jesus said; "And nothing shall by any means hurt you." If you say you're a Christian; and Jesus gave you a promise like that, how can you have any fear of any enemy that is on this earth. We will see in Luke 21 that "not one hair on your head can be hurt", and just because you will be delivered up to death, which is the devil, to give account of yourself, doesn't mean that you will die. But you will be given the opportunity to witness to the world, and have the Holy Spirit of God be placing the words in your mouth and the thoughts in your mind.
There hasn't been one soul or spirit that has died yet, (even Satan and his fallen angels are still living) for that time of death comes at the end of judgment day, at "The Great White Throne of Judgment" after the Millennium (even for Satan and his fallen angels who were already judged). Satan is not after your physical body, but your soul and spirit, and he will try to deceive you, or buy it at his price. What is your soul worth? Is there a price that you would sell out to Satan? It is time to wake up spiritually, and open our eyes and ears to the truth. Stop and think on this: Satan's power and that of his angels are limited. in Revelation 9:4 we see that it goes; "...only to those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads." If you have studied the Word and know the truths that we will face from Satan, there is no fear or deception that can sway you.
Revelation 9:5 "And it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man."
The time that Satan and his one world system will rule is for five months.
So how is "the torment of a scorpion, when it striketh a man?" The first thing to understand is that because a scorpion has no stomach, its digestive process is outside its own body. It grabs hold of the subject, paralysis it, and vomits its digestive juices on the subject. While the subject lies helpless, the juices dissolve the subject's body and then the scorpion sucks that food back into itself. The person "man" that has been struck lies helpless through the entire process, unable to think or defend himself.
So notice first that those with the seal of the truth in their mind from verse four are not affected by Satan and his realm, and the sealing must be prior to the coming of Satan. The truth in a person's mind of the Word is the the protective barrier from the poison of that scorpion Satan's deceptions. Once Satan has arrived, then God turns, or gives the men, women and children over to Satan, and this torment comes upon them. Their ignorance of the truth from the Word is their protective barrier, for this act of following Satan in ignorance, not knowing who Satan is, will allow them the right for the teaching and instruction of the Millennium age of Christ's kingdom here on earth. So why can't they get the word at that late time when Satan is on earth? Amos 8:11 tells us that; "Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread , nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord." The Spirit of our heavenly Father Himself will close their minds to the truth, and turn them over to Satan.
Revelation 9:6 "And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them."
So this is how Satan and his angels will react when they come to this earth. Sure, men will seek the truth but they will not find it. When you have God's Word in your mind and soul, you will not be turned to mush at the striking of Satan's deception. Satan's time of rule will happen for a five months period, and it shall happen in our generation, just as it is written in His Word. So when Jesus gives you power over all your enemies, and if you have faith strong enough to believe, you have nothing to fear today. You will be in charge and in control over anything that will come against you, and be a strong Christian for Almighty God.
Luke 10:20 "Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven."
Now, Back to Michael. What happening with Michael?
Let's see now. When Michael stands up and fights against the dragon, it will be "woe" time, Woe Trump time, to the inhabiters of the earth (vs. 12), i.e. big trouble here. Hmmmm. That's exactly what Daniel said concerning the end time .
Again, if your name is written in the book, that would be the Book of Life, then Satan is ordered to leave you alone.Daniel 12:1
And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
Rev. 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.Let there be no doubt about who the great red dragon is. He is the Devil, Satan himself, that old serpent who was in the garden of Eden and seduced mother Eve.
He is cast to this earth! And he fools a couple of people? No, he deceives the WHOLE WORLD. (Remember how we talked about the large percentage of people who followed Satan in the first earth age and how they are living here now, in these last days.) He's really good. He's coming disguised as Jesus. He will sit in the temple claiming to be God (2 Thes. 2). And remember, we just read he drew away 1/3 of God's children in the "world that then was", but it will be even easier to deceive them in their flesh bodies. They will be impressed when he snaps his finger and calls fire down from heaven. (We really need to get busy and teach God's Word to as many as will open their eyes and ears to His Truth!)
"Wow", they will say! "Woe", we will say!
What is the most dangerous doctrine/belief in Christianity today? Did you know there is one? It is so dangerous that it could cause you to lose your very soul!
It is the "any moment Rapture theory"! Why? Because if a person believes that Jesus Christ can return at any moment, then when the supernatural archangel, Satan, and his angelic entourage are cast out of heaven to this earth (Rev. 12:9), disguised as Christ and His "angels of light", that person will think Jesus Christ has returned to this earth. And they will worship him as Jesus! Yuck! Just wait until the real Jesus returns at the 7th Trump and they discover they've been worshipping Satan. How ashamed they will be!
And what of Satan's angels? Yes, we read his angels are cast out with him (Rev. 12:9)! Remember those 7,000 who were measured in the temple (Rev. 11:1) and are destroyed by Christ at His return (Rev. 11:13). They were here on earth before when they seduced women, the daughters of Adam. You can read of them in Genesis chapter 6 where they are called the sons of God. They were giving and taking in marriage and giants were born as a result of their "hanky panky".
But you don't have to take anyone's word for it that these angels are coming. Jesus Christ Himself documented that they are coming again when He gave the signs of what it will be like just before He returns.
Noe is Greek for Noah. What was going on then?Matthew 24:37
But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Who was marrying and giving in marriage? Those before the flood, the fallen angels and the daughters of Adam. Jesus told us that it is going to be just like it was in those days before the flood. They, those seducing fallen angels, are coming again to marry and give in marriage! That is also why Paul says in 1 Cor. 11:10 that a woman should have power, the veil of Christ, on her head, i.e. be subject to Him. The reason? Read it yourself: "For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels." Because of the angels who will be coming to seduce them. (The veil/power the woman is to have over her head is Christ!) And when the Bible says "woman" here, God is not only referring to human females, He is talking about his bride, the church, both males and females.[38] For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
Satan and his angelic host will deceive the whole world, except for those who are aboard the ark of the covenant of these last days, i.e. have the seal of God in their foreheads. All others will drown in the flood of Satan's lies.
There's going to be a whole bunch of people swept away, just like they were in the flood of Noah.[39] And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
The woman taken in the field is taken by whom? By Satan and his angels, swept away in their flood of lies, just like those swept away in the flood of Noah days![40] Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Those left working in the field, who wait upon the true bridegroom, who aren't swallowed by the flood, who aren't seduced by Satan and the fallen angels, those "virgins" who endure until the end, both male and female, they are the ones who shall be saved.[41] Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
When Satan is cast out it will be as it was in the days of Noah. This is what Jesus said in Matthew 24:37: "But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be." Mankind will be mixing with the angels, and the women and men will be marrying them just as was going on in Noah's day before the flood but it will be spiritual marriage this time not physical. Sodomy will be common, and all forms of filth will be made public, and accepted and considered normal. (Because of the famine for the truth that has come upon us) Why, Our Christian churches aren't telling us the whole story. Even the best of them are preaching redemption/salvation over and over to the same people who sit in their pews week after week, but only hear the milk of His Word as Paul would say; never hearing the meat of His Word! They remain baby Christians! Not learning how to tell the difference between what is Holy (Jesus Christ) and what is profane (Satan, the serpent who planted the tares amongst us in the garden.)
The world and the Kenite influence is preparing us, and our mind to accept all forms of filth in sex and marriage as being natural; and to consider their perversion as being of God.

We learn from this great Book of
Haggai
that the LORD has promised to BE
WITH US to the end
and He has also promised to BLESS
US if we do the job according to His will.
You see, for God's elect, His servants, there need never
be famine,
for at His table there is always a "feast"!
Do not participate in the famine of the end times!
Amos 8:11 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:
Eat heartily and then get to work (see Ezek. 3:1).
You want to participate in His blessings?Haggai 2:19 Is the seed yet in the barn? yea, as yet the vine, and the fig tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive tree, hath not brought forth: from this day will I bless you.
Again, the choice is yours... Feast or Famine!
The work which lies
ahead of us is to make sure the seed,
His Word,
is
no longer left in the barn!
We must take it out and make sure it gets sown and planted among our brothers and sisters!
