The Lord is the king of Kings and lord of lords and his words are supreme. If we obey the kings command; we will come to no harm. Hence we can stand up for a bad cause (against Elohim’s will or laws), he will still do whatever he pleases. (because God word is supreme). So who can say to Elohim what are you doing? when we obey the kings command we come to no harm, and he has given us a wise heart to know the proper time and procedure for every matter. Even though a person MAYBE weighed down by misery (Ecclesiastes 8:6)
Since only God knows the future (Ecclesiastes 8:7) whether love or hate awaits them (Ecclesiastes 9) no one has the view to tell what is to come?
Moreover, wickedness is still practiced, oppression (lords over others) and crime is still being committed, why? because wicked people do not fear God.
Everyone shares a common destiny because sin is in the world, the righteous getting what the wicked deserves and vice versa. Moreover, people’s hearts are full of evil and there is madness in their hearts while they live, For me, to live is Christ for me to die is gain. When one dies memories that hold pain is gone, their love, their jealousy and hate. So rest because Elohim has approved what we do, so let our garment always be white. Let there be oil our my lamp(s).
For everything is meaningless, and since the battle is not to the swift nor to the strong (but the battle is the Lords), nor does food come to the wise (and supplies our needs) or wealth to the brilliant or favor to the learned but time and chance happen to us all (Ecclesiastes 8 vs 4), so we ought to be careful lest evil times fall unexpectedly on us- Wisdom is better than strength, yet a poor mans wisdom is despised nevertheless it is wisdom, the quiet words of the poor man are to be heeded than a shout of fools.
The world hates Jesus (and us) because we testify that its working are evil. John 7:7
You are always going to be questioned about your integrity but God Justifies. John 7 vs 12,13 (said he deceives, some said he was good).
Jesus moved in secret to places because people hated him —> John 7 vs 10
Our teaching (Just as Jesus’s) is not our own, It comes from Elohim. It because we choose to do God’s will we find out Gods teachings we never speak on our own —> John 7 vs 16.
If we speak on our own, its for our personal glory, but when we speak of God, we speak of God we speak the truth of God’s word and nothing is false about that person (man of truth).
no one can really keep the laws ( 10 commandments), that we sin in the flesh, so we might have life through the spirit & live by the spirit. —> John 7 vs 20
Miracles, Success do not change people —> John 7 vs 21
People are more concern law govern by fear than inward laws govern love (as we love God and ourselves) —> John 7: 21 (difference between the 10 commands and the 2 commands).
People deny truth when they are in sins ( majority continue in sin, Jesus said they wanted to kill him John 7: 20, but in verse [25] “they conceded that people trying to kill Jesus later” –> this is the reason human judgement is weak; we judge by appearance –John 7 vs 24
When people cant understand things they judge incorrectly, when people hate they judge incorrectly — John 7 vs 27-31 (They did not know where Jesus was from they tried to seize him) Jesus came from God and anyone who is born of God. 1 John 4:7-12
Still many around believed in Jesus. We do not have to understand everything to believe. John 6 vs 31.
Jealousy from the pharisees, leading to hate made them do terrible things John 3: 27.
When your time is not come, it has not come —> John 6 vs 33
The last day is the greatest day where he will pour out his spirit on all flesh —> on all who thirst (John 7 vs 37-39).
We look for signs and facts (prophecy) to interpret truth —> John 7 vs 41
There will always be a divide on those who believe and does who do not believe (some believed he was messiah, some say he was a prophet) – John 7 vs 43 (Jesus was all things to us , a healer, a shepherd, a prophet, a teacher but ultimately he is our savior (save us from ourselves and our sins) 1 Corinthians 9:22-23.
The law should not condemn man w/o first hearing him to find out first hearing him to find out what he has been doing ( continuous tense is doing) –> John 7 vs 51, Job 29-21, 21.
When reason/ understanding is not going with truth disbelief enters into man —> John 7 vs 57 {Jesus was from Galilee because he was raised there; but no track record could be linked to his genealogy to David at the time, leading the Israelite to doubt that he was the messiah and the hardness of the pharisees heart made them question more for proof causing disbelief} This was revealed in the Matthew 1 through the spirit of God, Jesus genealogy was from David & Abraham.
When we come to Jesus (look for him/Search for him)-> he feeds our hunger.
When we believe in Jesus -> He quenches our thirst (Verse 35)
Man looks for Jesus because of loaves of bread not because of signs he performs – John 6 vs 26
It is Yeshua’s will that none is lost, so give us life and direction in Christ Yeshua so you will raise us up on the Last day.
Prophet are taught by Elohim –> John 6 vs 45
When Jesus hear of the father and learn from him; he comes to him.
The bread is Elohim flesh ( Jesus) John 6 vs 51
The Seal of Approval is on Yeshua and he gives to those who don’t work for goods that spoils but for food that endures to eternal life — John 6 vs 27
Jesus hate Wastes John 6 vs 12
When Jesus walks into our boat our fears are gone. John 6 vs 20 (perfect love cast out fear)
People work for bread that perishes not for bread that endures to eternal life which the son of man gives ( John 6 vs 27)
Bread from heaven is called Manna (to eat) comes from God and it is not to be wasted even if it perishes; Bread from the son of man is his flesh that Endures to eternal life. Hence bread from heaven (Jesus in flesh); Bread of heaven (his body broken for us; edifies our spirit).
Hard teachings are difficult to accept (John 6 vs 60) and often lead to grumbling, where some people may turn away from this preaching (John 6 vs 66) and it causes offences (John 6 vs 61) to those the father has not called to his kingdom.
The spirit gives life and the flesh profiteth for nothing (John 6 vs 57).
In the life of King Solomon, it was prophesied that the kingdom would be torn into two once he died. So it seems it was predestined that Rehoboam would not lighten the yoke of the people even after the elders advised him he did not heed. 1 Chronicles 11 vs 4, the Lord said to Rehoboam that he should Go home, everyone of the people of Judah & Benjamin, for this (the split of Israel and Judah) was his doing. So Rehoboam & his people listened and obeyed the words of the Lord turned back from marching against Jeroboam. At this point when the nation split Rehoboam headed the advice of the Lord, His decision may not have favored the majority of Israel but it favored people close to him. In this day, when Government & Rulers decision do not favor the majority and heavy yokes are upon nations leading to wars, splits it is important to know Gods will in all this will happen Mark 13 : 7. The bible says on a family & friends will split on this (verse 12).
I am reminded that the one who perseveres has patience and endures until the end. Patience is tied to love and as we love Jesus we await patiently his return. Someone once asked me something; I’d like to pray for and I asked for that “let patience have her perfect work in me that I may be entire wanting. When we want nothing but God we have patience and this is love. James 1:4-8” Ecclesiastes 7:8 “Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.”
A patient person cant can have pride because patience is born out of LOVE. 1 Corinthians 13 vs 1. So as I end, as I would myself fix my thoughts on the Lord during these last days; I hope you do too. I am a house built by Elohim, so to remain faithful as Moses; because every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything . As Jesus is, so to bear witness to what would be spoken by Elohim in the future, we need to be reminded of this.
The spirit of God says as it bear witness in our hearts that as we hear Elohim’s voice we should not harden our hearts as we did in rebellion ( during hardship and testing in the wilderness as with Rehoboam).
When we do not know Elohim’s ways, we go astray removing our peace (rest state). When sins deceitfulness enters our hearts (hardening occurs), then we cant hear God causing us to rebel and perish (Israel under Jeroboam started worshiping Baal and forsook the Lord their God), therefore peace is gone (out of rest) leading disbelief & disobedience ultimately.
God dwells in us because he first dwelth among US.
Questions: I have had to wonder why the temple Solomon built was on Araunah the Jebusites threshing floor? why this floor as this was on the floor David sacrificed offerings for the counting of soldiers.
Acts 10:38 “How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power; who went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him”
There are so many sick people around us and in the hospitals. You may know some by name. Start praying for God’s healing power to be released in their lives.
Pray for God to send laborers: Matthew 9:37 – Then saith he unto his disciples, the harvest truly is plenteous, but the laborers are few. Pray ye, therefore, the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth laborers into his harvest.
Pray that the word of God should have entrance into the hearts of men 2 Thessalonians 3:1 – Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you.
Pray for those in Authority 1 Timothy 2: 1-2 Pray that God would move in their hearts to exercise their leadership positions for the benefits of the people. Pray that they will be able to resist the power of evil and enable to Gospel to thrive.
Pray for the move of God in your community: 1 Timothy 2: 3-4 God does not want anyone to perish. So pray for community. Pray that the word of God will prevail in the land and that the gospel will bear fruits of mass salvation and baptism of the Holy Spirit.
Isaiah 1 gives us a word about a city filled with holiness is now a dwelling of prostitutes. Isaiah 2 verse 2 talks about the last days, where mountains would be established (not kingdom again) as mountain are often immovable the bible says the mountain is called Zion in Judah and Jerusalem. – see city are built on hills, mountains on rocks (Jesus is a rock that is immovable).
The last days are likened to the days of Sodom and Gomorrah (Matt 24: 37 As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man). Jesus says there will be famines, earthquake, persecution, peoples heart failing them for things to come and false teachers; and here in Isaiah 1; it shows us a glimpse into what happened in Sodom and Gomorrah. Isaiah focuses on the rulership in Sodom and the actions of the people Gomorrah!
They offer multitude of sacrifices, offerings which Elohim had no pleasure in.
They appeared before Elohim gates/courts bringing meaningless sacrifice to him, he detested them.
The observed festive occasion new moons (Christmas), sabbath and convocations – and the assemblies of people the Lord could not bear because offering from there wasn’t heartfelt (Isaiah 1: 13). In Chapter 4, Elohim says he couldn’t bear these feasts and appointed festivals he hated them with ALL his being. They were a burden to him, and weary hearing them.
Elohim hid his eyes from them, when they spread out their hands in PRAYER. and when they offered MAnY prayers, Elohim did not listen. WHY?
Their hands were full of blood (i.e. the ruler and the city). Solution: Take the evil deeds out of his sight; stop doing wrong and learn to do right; seek justice, defend the oppressed, take up the cause of the fatherless, plead the widows case. (mentioned twice) see Habakkuk 2 vs 8-9. verse 19.
They resisted and rebelled the cleansing from their sins. (Isaiah 1: 20). God makes a case that if they are willing to obey him they would eat the good things of his house and land.
Sodom and Gomorrah were faithful cities, side by side that became a prostitute, it was a city full of justice and righteousness used to dwell in her now she is now a place of murderers! (Apparently, they shared the same rulers).
Their rulers are rebels partnering with thieves that love bribes and chase after gifts. Thus, fail to defend the cause of the fatherless and widow’s case.
The lord vents his wrath and avenge himself and thoroughly purge away their dross to remove ALL impurities, to restore their leaders as of Old so they will be called the city of Righteousness. (Fire came into Sodom and Gomorrah).
Rebels & Sinner will both be broken and those who forsake the LORD Elohim will perish. Oaks are the grandest/strongest trees will be disgraced, these oaks that delight in themselves will be with fading leaves; like gardens w/o water. The mighty tinder and his work a spark both will burn together with no one quench the FIRE.
The descendants of JACOB
The last days the mountain of the LORD will be exalted are hills and ALL nations will stream to it. The descendants of Jacob will walk with the light of the LORD. The day of Elohim is spoken about in Isaiah 6 verse 22. The descendant of Jacob full of superstition from the east, practice divination like the philistine and embrace pagan customs. The day of Elohim is A DAY when human arrogance will be brought low (Isaiah 2 vs 11). and the lord alone will be exalted, idols ALL totally disappear. People will fear at the presence of Elohim. Isaiah 2: 22 Stop trusting in MERE humans who have but a breath in their nostrils. why hold them in esteem? Jeremiah 17:5, John 2:24-25, Psalm 118:8, Psalm 146 vs 3.
Sodom and Gomorrah event happened before Noah’s flood. It was 10 generation before the time of Noah flood. so, the last days is likened to Sodom and Gomorrah and Noah’s flood. Luke 17:28-37 one precedes the other by 10 generation.
Micah 6:8 New International Version 8 He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly [ a] with your God.
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are MADE; even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse.
God’s invisible qualities are his eternal power (the gospel = goodness) + his divine nature (love which is mercy).
when people do not retain the knowledge of Elohim, people given to depraved minds, so that they do what ought not to be done. They are filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. Romans 1: 29 moral depravity increases when people are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice (these attributes aren’t seen with the eyes). They gossip, slander, hate God in their hearts and thus repulse his commands, insolent, arrogant, boastful (even Paul said I make boast in the LAW; 2 Corinthians 11:30, 16-33), they invent ways of doing EVIL, they disobey their parents, because they have no Understanding of Elohim’s word, no FIDELITY, no LOVE, no MERCY.
notice that all the trait of gossip, slander, God hating, arrogance, boasting, inventing evil, disobeying parents is based or contingent on them not having no UnDERSTAnDInG of Elohim’s word, therefore they have no fidelity, love or mercy.
It says further that although they know (not understand) Elohim’s righteous DECREE; that those who sin the sin above such people are deserving/ worthy of DEATH, they do not only do the same, but have pleasure in THOSE that do them. (leading others to sin – part of the six sins the LORD detest).
some translations say that they continue to do these very things and also approve those who practice them. Romans 1: 28 – 32.
Romans 2: 2
The judgement against those who do this is based on TRUTH. Because they show contempt for the riches of Elohim’s kindness, forbearance, and patience(mercy) not realizing God’s mercy is to bring US to repentance. Romans 2: 4
And so, when we read Psalm 118, he assures us that Elohim is good and his MERCY endures FOREVER, he doesn’t reward us according to what we deserve. (the mere fact that he rewards the faith of anyone who believes they will get what they ask for – irrespective of their race, religion, denomination, gender shows he is no respecter of persons when he rewards). We see what Elohim’s mercy and love looks like in Hosea & the prodigal son, that when we are ignorant or helpless in sin, he forgives us – shows us mercy (Hebrews 5: 7-9), the lords mercy still reaches people in Hebrew 6:4, who are no longer able to come to repentance. His mercy still reaches them, but they can’t be brought back to repentance because they have fallen away. notice the prodigal was blind (ignorant), Hosea wife was weak in sin (not willing to sin), this is why the prodigal son said, ” Father I was blind and now I see”. He became enlightened to Elohim. Job saith my ears hear of you now my eyes (spiritual eyes) see you. (Job 42:5-6)
John 10:29 KJV: My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand. Whilst Gods grip on us is strong, are we willing to hold onto God unchanging hands. (As I speak for myself, where I write to myself as well….) Pray for me. As God promises are unchanging, we will not be changed….
Romans 8:35-39
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Some people can be a believer and be ignorant on certain aspects of Elohim’s word causing them to sin, and some aren’t enlightened about the Elohim’s words they have knowledge but no understanding. So likewise, the aren’t enlightened as unbelievers. This is why the bible says the God of this age (idolatry, self) has darkened their minds, so it is veiled as in Moses passing either by the law or self because of the god of this present age (the rave, trend). Until revelation comes in light isn’t in a person – that is the breath of Elohim. These are ignorant people. Darlene Zschech – Friends In High Places VHS 1995 (Hillsong) (youtube.com) My God cares too much to say, His mercies are new every day. I get down to pray, help is on its way (2 Corinthians 4 vs 4). But there are people who have been enlightened and rebelled against his words knowingly with understanding of Elohim. Isaiah 1: 28 (rebels and sinners those who forsake Elohim will perish).
This is the air I breathe This is the air I breathe Your Holy presence living’ in me This is my daily bread This is my daily bread Your very word spoken to me
his presence in us guides us, the law is inscribed in the doors of our hearts i.e. the holy spirit because, he proves the world to be in the wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment. John 16:8, so when we pass judgement from the spirit of God it is TRUTH not from flesh. Paul will say much of that in 1 Corinthians 1 and 2. when a believer can’t hear the voice of Elohim, or a believer cannot recognize the voice of Elohim he will err or be in ignorance that causes him to err. This is different from those who know after Elohim pardons them and continues in them. The spirit of Elohim is like the voice crying out in the wilderness repent for the kingdom of Elohim is at hand and prepare the way for Elohim. It is likened to John the Baptist who came preaching repentance; now we can either kill our conscience as John was killed by Herod because he told Herod to stop sinning, or we can listen to him. Shall we continue in sin that grace will abound. Romans 6:1-2
This writing was taken from Dr Chris Kwakpovwe Daily Manna.
He starts with the human body has several parts and certain parts of the body we do not see but are crucial to the overall performance of the body. In the same vein, in businesses there are certain people behind the CEO, or in Christian ministry, there are certain people around the sent-man/woman, who he calls – BEHInD THE SCEnE WORK FORCE. This people are the brains behind successful hitch free and powerful jobs/services, and they are as important as the CEO or pastor etc. Don’t join those who are fighting to be seen. He says one should not struggle and fight to be seen, that leads to office politics and church politics.
He encourages diligence and says envy no one. He goes on to say: it should be more of God and less of us. Our labor is for the lord who sees in secret may be unseen and uncelebrated but is essential. He says he was a believer who worked in the church 48 years ago and worked not to be seen and he prayed never to be popular. But this foundation was it that made him what he is today by God’s grace. He says working to be seen leads to SHAME and DISGRACE.
He prayed to the LORD, “Isn’t this what I said, LORD, when I was still at home? That is what I tried to forestall by fleeing to Tarshish. I knew that you are a 1) gracious and 2) compassionate God, 3) slow to anger and 4) abounding in love, a God who relents from sending calamity. – Jonah 4: 2
David said to Gad, “I am in deep distress. Let me fall into the hands of the Lord, for his mercy is very great; but do not let me fall into human hands.” – 1 Chronicles 21:13.
Psalm 103:8-18 The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love. He will not always accuse, nor will he harbor his anger forever. he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities.
Nehemiah 9:17
They refused to listen and failed to remember the miracles you performed among them. They became stiff-necked and, in their rebellion, appointed a leader in order to return to their slavery. But you are a forgiving God, gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love. Therefore, you did not desert them.
It seems we know God nature all too well, that God will have mercy while we continue to sin after all his grace covers us. David said it, Nehemiah said it, Jonah said it and we the church know it. we find also that love corrects because if we are in him, we can’t abide in wicked-ness (practice of the wicked) (The LORD is just! He is my rock! There is no evil in him! Psalm 92: 15), If a man says, I love God, and hated his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? 1 John 4: 20.
so, if he is gracious, we ought to be, if he is compassionate, we ought to be, if he is slow to anger (not vexation) we ought to be. Afterall, as he is so we are on this earth right. But it is also interesting to see when Elohim wants to exact judgement (not wickedness) on his people, he seldom cannot do it because of his nature; so, he gives his people over to the hands of their enemies, in the Elis (with Gods chosen nation – Israel) time Daegon and the ammonites, Saul (with Israel) the philistines, King Ahaz (with Israel) give to the hands of the Assyrians, Jeremiah (with Israel) given to the Babylonians. And the last days he will his people (the chosen people -not nation- who have rebelled against him to reprobate minds) Romans 1:22-32.
we have a deliverer who delivered us from our sins (from ourselves) and delivered us from our enemy. As Nehemiah 9: 27 “Therefore thou delivered them into the hand of their enemies, who vexed them: and in the time of their trouble, when they cried unto thee, thou heard them from heaven; and according to thy manifold mercies thou gave them saviors, who saved them out of the hand of their enemies. ” Notice the Lord gave them over to their enemies first because of their sin when they called to him, he delivered them because he is merciful. The got delivered because they cried out asking God to forgive them, and then God delivered them from their enemies.
David was the only exception to this rule because when he did the census count and was given three option “he understood the very nature of Elohim” which is why he said let me fall under the hand of God, for he is merciful. (With the exception of Basheba’s son death, because David killed Uriah – ad this was among the six sins God hates and has said he will surely recompense Proverbs 6:16-19).
Nehemiah 9 clearly shows a God who is unrelenting towards his love for us, they worshipped idol, he forgives, and his love abounds so we could turn back to him. And I guess it is because God loves endures, he sent his son to die for us, hoping that we would see that despite our unfaithfulness to him, he still loves this is why he forgives us. so, we can turn back to him. 2 Timothy 2:13. This is primarily why we think we can live in sin and grace will abound because his mercy endures forever and that is love we are abusing.
Excerpts from Nehemiah 9
This is why God allows us to go through trials and testing of our faith, until we see how it feels to be rejected and scorned by men whether for righteousness’s sake (Elohim glory) | or unrighteousness’s sake (for our personal gain), we have a glimmer into how Jesus felt. Dr. Myles once said knowing something is wrong doesn’t change a person; many people know murder and stealing is bad and still do it, many Doctors know smoking is bad and still smoke; the knowing of the law doesn’t change man it is the love of Elohim that changes us. The only time we understand stealing is bad is when it is done to us. Hence, the 2nd commandment, when Jesus was crucified, we cannot fully comprehend how he felt, he was rejected by men and his father turned his back on him. The only time we begin to fully understand the sacrifice Jesus made is when we go through it, when we are under trial it seems Elohim is not near, and he has forsaken us that’s how Jesus felt “he said Eloi Eloi Lama Sabachthani” he was forsaken before we were; he was mocked before we were; yet he endured for you and me. He endured the cross despising the shame and now is sat down at the right hand of the throne of Elohim – Hebrew 12:2. You will also carry your cross to sit near to him – Luke 9:23.
Only when Jesus came out of the wilderness and a time of testing could he hear the spirit minister to him. While he was in the wilderness being tempted by the devil, he was answer through Elohim words. there was no comfort for him until he resisted the devil and submit to the father, then the holyspirit came to minister to him. Similarly, when we go through testing/trial as there may temporally discomfort, when we don’t eat (either out of lack/ or no), when there is no sign of God riches – wilderness season, we know he is still there because he is the word in us. This testing in the wilderness prepared Yeshua for his persecution which led to his crucifixion. similarly, when we go through trial it’s to prepare us for hard days.
This is a popular verse for reading today: Most importantly, I want to remind you that in the last days scoffers will come, mocking the truth and following their own desires. 2 Peter 3:3.
Scoffers -> according to Jude, are people who follow their ungodly desires, who divide the church, who follow mere natural instincts and do not have the spirit of Elohim.
Solution: Build up yourself in the most holy faith and praying in the holy spirit, keep oneself in Elohim’s love as you wait for mercy of Yeshua hashem to bring you to eternal life. Jude 1 vs 17 – 20. Call to perseverance.
The last days is likened to Sodom and Gomorrah, Luke 17:28-37; where even surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion. Jude 1 vs 3
Remember all of Israel was chosen by Elohim to be delivered from Egypt but later he destroyed those who did not believe in him. (had unbelieving hearts) similar to the church of Elohim. Jude 1: 5
It goes on to say there are ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our lord into a License FOR IMMORALITY.
Hand sinking in quicksand, trying to get out, tips to survive in desert, buried
solution: contend for the faith that was once entrusted to Elohim’s holy people.
The bible tells us there are three kinds of people unbelievers, ungodly and believing.
There are ungodly people characterized by judge to be:
1) people who pollute their own bodies, reject authority of Elohim, and heap abuse on celestial beings. (Archangel Micheal saith ‘the lord rebuke you’)
2) they slander whatever they do understand, and the very things they do not understand by instincts – as irrational animals do – will destroy them.
3)they took the way of Cain; they will kill their brothers in the lord (the lust of their father Satan – they will do), and they rush for profit into Balaam’s error; they have been destroyed in Korah’s rebellion.
4) they are shepherds who feed only themselves – they are blemishes at our love feast, eating without qualms.
5) Enoch (the 7th from Adam); prophesied about them: ‘see, Elohim is coming with a 1000s upon 1000s of his holy one to judge everyone, and convict of all ungodly acts they have committed in their ungodliness have spoken against him.
6) they are grumblers and fault finders (causing offences -> as with Moses and the people grumbling about returning to Egypt for food, causing Moses and Aaron to be overcome with faults and then sinned against Elohim), they follow evil desires, they boast about themselves (2 Timothy 3:2-4, this is how they will lead the congregations to be lovers of themselves ad boastful) and flatter for their own advantage.
Scriptures worth remembering to this end:
Philippians 3 vs 18: talks about the enemies of the cross of Christ as well, their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach (why they grumbled in the wilderness? why Esau sold his birthright/inheritance?) and their glory is in shame, their minds set on earthly things.
I Corinthians 12 vs 24 all functioning body of Christ whether big, small, medium as the hand the same size with the ears is not but they all work together. therefore, our presentable parts need no special treatment. God puts the whole body together. The body of Christ the church whether big, small or medium matters not it’s the function that matters.
God placed the church 1st -> apostles; 2nd -> prophets, 3rd teaches of miracles, then gift of healing of helping of guidance and of different kinds of tongues.
Hebrews 12:11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless, afterward it yielded the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.
Revelation 3 vs 19 Those whom I love I rebuke & discipline so be earnest and repent. He chastises those he loves. Do not resist the discipline or correction of Adonai, whoever has ears, let the hear what the father of spirit is saying to the churches.
