CHAPTER SEVEN
THE WORD OF GOD
Idolatry is the backsliding of Israel (ruling with god). The definition of idolatry is the worshipping of idols; or extreme admiration, love or reverence for something or someone.
The worshipping of god comes to mind when we think about idolatry. How can we solve the problem of idolatry even in this modern age?
Can we simply put it into a sentence?
1Co:10:14: Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.
Do we have to spell it out that idolatry comes from eating too much flesh (scripture);
M't:4:4: But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread (doctrine) alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
Ga:5:19: Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
Ga:5:20: Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
Ga:5:21: Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
Col:3:4: When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
Col:3:5: Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
Eph:5:5: For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
Ye are the temple of god.
2Co:6:16: And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
If god is does not exist then idolatry is nothing and is meaningless.
1Co:8:4: As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is none other God but one.
Idolatry is the worshipping of god as an almighty powerful being seated on a great throne in a place called heaven which of course He is not. God is within you. God is a spirit.
Lu:17:21: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
Joh:4:24: God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
To say that god is a spirit is not implying that god is a ghost or spectre or ethereal entity. To be in the spirit of something is to simply be in agreement with it. God is the spirit of life itself which includes the ecology of the planet as well as love for all. To be in the spirit of ecology, takes in everything. I am attempting to describe the spirit of God which is a respect for all life.
No person has ever seen god.
Joh:1:18: No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
1Jo:4:12: No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
We are made into sons and daughters of god by the adoption of the Father in heaven.
Ro:8:15: For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
We are the sons of god.
Joh:1:12: But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
Ro:8:14: For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
1Jo:3:1: Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
Jesus was born of mankind and hence called Himself the Son of Man or the Son of Mankind. We likewise should belong to the brotherhood of all people. By this means we shall see Jesus in the veil of the New Testament when it is revealed.
M't:24:27: For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
M't:24:30: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
The above verse says that every tribe of earth shall mourn when they see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of heaven. Now we know that the “clouds of heaven” are the stories and parables of the New Testament. It is the covering or veil of heaven as previously discussed. The reason these tribes will mourn is because by this time heaven will be seen to be nothing more than an imaginary place to them and not a real vessel of salvation at all. This short-sightedness falls onto people who do not seek for truth and do not look deep enough into the mystery of god and have not the spirit of god within them.
M't: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?
M't:7:23: And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Ro:1:16: For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
Ti:2:11: For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
1Pe:1:5: Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time
Re:7:10: And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
Re:12:10: And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
Re:19:1: And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God:
The solution to this quandary is this; one must be a believer in order to not feel abandoned by god. Believe in the spirit of god.
We are taught that God is a spirit and must be worshipped in spirit and in truth. Now it is not difficult to worship god in truth but it is so in spirit especially when the heavens have just dissolved away. When this happens we lose sight of what we once believed in and all we have left is the spirit of truth. There are no such things as gods.
(The spirit of prophecy also remains as long as we don’t shut it out.)
All we have then is the Holy Ghost which caused us to bear this weight in the first place stirring up the spirit of God.
1Jo:5:7: For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
Re:6:10: And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
Re:6:11: And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
Re:6:12: And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake (peoplequake); and the sun (light of miracles) became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon (truth) became as blood (life force in worldliness);
Re:6:13: And the stars (prophets) of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig (place of worship) tree (worshippers) casteth her untimely figs (worshippers), when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
Re:6:14: And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain (religion) and island (church) were moved out of their places.
Re:6:15: And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks (churches) of the mountains (religions);
Re:6:16: And said to the mountains (religions) and rocks (churches), Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
Re:6:17: For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
Nevertheless we must adopt the spirit of truth in order to be true, honest and sincere. We have seen by the spirit of prophecy that the testimony of Jesus leads us to the door of the sanctuary of god.
So what are we to do? Worship god and commit idolatry or stand naked before the impossible hosts of heaven?.
Re:3:20: Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
The mystery of god is finished now and so the little book called ‘WORMWOOD’ is introduced. What is written in this little book is remarkably similar to what you are reading at this very moment. It takes you through the mystery of god and reveals the secret of the gospel.
Re:10:7: But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.
Re:10:8: And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth.
Re:10:9: And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.
Re:10:10: And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.
Re:10:11: And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.
This is the little book called WORMWOOD which must be eaten as described in Revelation 10:9. This booklet you are reading is similar in message as Wormwood. It is sweet to the taste but as soon as one reads and digests its contents they are left feeling bitter towards it. This is because of the Quandary of god which it leaves you with.
Re:8:11: And the name of the star (prophet) is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.
God cannot be seen. This is the real quandary. Does He exist at all?
Re:17:8: The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
This beast that was and is not and yet is, could well be the description of God; “He was and is not and yet is”. We are left wondering who was written into the book of life; does it even exist? Is it just another imagined aspect to heaven?
Re:19:1: And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God
Re:19:6: And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.
Re:19:7: Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
Re:19:8: And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
Re:19:9: And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.
The reference to the Lambs wife (Christianity) above shows that she is now ready to be wed to Christ “arrayed in fine white linen”. Christianity (our new perspective) has therefore been purified by the revealing of heaven as we now see Jesus Christ shrouded in the clouds of Heaven; revealed anew in the New Testament. When such things are broadcasted to the world then this day can come about to the full.
Was there ever a book of life? We are invited to attend the Marriage supper of the Lamb.
Re:19:17: And I saw an angel standing in the sun (light of the miracles); and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls (people) that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;
Next we are free to eat any flesh (doctrine) that we desire as we are immune to deceptions of worship and free of idolatry as we see the miracles in a new and truthful light. When Gods throne is empty, let the reader understand, any flesh (doctrine) we eat is unpolluted.
Re:19:18: That ye may eat the flesh (doctrine) of kings, and the flesh (doctrine) of captains, and the flesh (doctrine) of mighty men, and the flesh (doctrine) of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh (doctrine) of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.
Finally the false prophet is exposed by the vacancy which is now seen in heaven. The false prophet who taught idolatry is cast into the lake of fire (argument), burning with brimstone.
Re:19:19: And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
Re: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.
And Satan is cast into the bottomless pit along with idolatry.
Re:20:1: And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
Re:20:2: And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
Re:20:3: And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
The first resurrection therefore can now be revealed. This happens in the true Baptism while you are yet alive. The first death is the spiritual death of misconceptions which is followed by the resurrection of your spirit, only made possible by the adoption of the spirit of god through the Baptism. The second death is the death of the physical body.
Re:20:6: Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
This teaching is seen as Fruit for the healing of nations
Re:22:2: In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
Re:16:17: And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.
Re:21:6: And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
It is Done.
Thus we see the Quandary of god and take our part in the marriage supper of the Lamb. We learn of the purification of Christianity readying her to be the Bride of Christ.
