UNDERSTAND THE PARABLES

MYSTERIES OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN

Matthew 13:34 says, “All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:” “Parabole {par-ab-ol-ay'}” is “parable” in the Greek, meaning, “a proverb, an earthly story with a heavenly meaning, an example by which a doctrine or precept is illustrated. An instructive saying, involving some likeness or comparison and having preceptive or admonitory force, comparison of one thing with another, likeness, similitude.” It is derived from “paraballo {par-ab-al'-lo}”, meaning, “to put one thing by the side of another for the sake of comparison, to compare, liken, to put one's self, betake one's self into a place or to a person.”

Matthew 13:35 says, “That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.” “Katabole {kat-ab-ol-ay'}” is “foundation” in the Greek, meaning “a throwing or laying down, a) the injection or depositing of the virile semen in the womb, b) of the seed of plants and animals; a founding (laying down a foundation).” It is derived from “kataballo {kat-ab-al'-lo}”, meaning, “to cast down, to put in a lower place.” “Secret” means “to conceal”, and we learn from our Father’s Word as Proverbs 25:2 says, “[It is] the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings [is] to search out a matter.” This passage of Scripture Christ Jesus is teaching us is from Psalms 78:2 which says, “I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old.” Christ translated “old” to “the foundation of the world.” Our Lord taught by utilizing many parables in Matthew – Chapter 13. He taught {1} The Parable of the Sower, {2} The Parable of the Tares, {3} The Parable of the Treasure in the Field, {4} The Parable of the Pearls, {5} The Parable of the Net Cast into the Sea, {6} The Parable of the Mustard Seed, {7} The Parable of the Leaven, and {8} The Parable of the Householder. Christ Jesus’ disciples asked Him why did He teach the multitude with parables [Matthew 13:10].

Matthew 13:11 says, “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.” Paul explains this Verse by teaching us the following in I Corinthians – Chapter 1. Verse 26 says, “For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, [are called]:” Verse 27 says, But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;” Verse 28 says, “And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, [yea], and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:” Verse 29 says, “That no flesh should glory in his presence.” Your stand against satan’s rebellion in the First or Former Earth Age is what guarantees understanding the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven. This Flesh Age we now live in serves as a testing period only, and it is for those who failed our Father in the First or Former Earth Age. All souls are born into this Flesh or Second Earth Age to finally take a stand, and let their yea be yea and their nay, nay, which means you will follow and not rebel against our Father God Almighty or do so in ignorance.

Matthew 13:12 says, “For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.” Our Father has always provided each dispensation of the Ages with a remnant that understood the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven. Whosoever hath is given more abundance because that one studies our Father’s word Precept upon Precept and Line upon Line, or Chapter by Chapter and Verse by Verse. Christ Jesus said in Matthew 18:3, “Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.” Verse 4 says, “Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.” An innocent little child does not question their parent’s instruction; therefore, as children of our Parent, our Father God, we should not question the instruction of His Word and seek to twist His Word with our own private and/or flesh interpretation.

Matthew 13:13 says, “Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.” Christ Jesus said that if you were unable to understand the Parable of the Sower, then you would not understand any of the parables, including the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven [Mark 4:1 – 20]. Humility is the key, which is having no respect of persons with degrees and certificates from man’s universities and colleges, rather recognizing one endowed with the unction of the Holy Spirit of our Father.

Matthew 13:14 says, “And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:” “Esaias” is “Isaiah” the prophet, and this passage that Christ is teaching is Isaiah 6:9 which says, “And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.” Studying and understanding our Father’s Word is the most important ministry that is inspiring to us, edifying to others and pleasing to our Father God. Paul said in I Corinthians 14:1, “Follow after charity, and desire spiritual [gifts], but rather that ye may prophesy.” We further learn in Proverbs 4:7, “Wisdom [is] the principal thing; [therefore] get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.”

Matthew 13:15 says, “For this people's heart is waxed gross, and [their] ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with [their] eyes, and hear with [their] ears, and should understand with [their] heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.” Christ Jesus is continuing to teach from Isaiah – Chapter 6. Verse 10 says, “Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed.” “Convert {converted}” means, “to return, turn back, come back, or take a stand and show our Father total respect, love, and obedience, to return to a better mind, be restored, be brought back, from that place of following after satan’s rebellion or being lukewarm [no stand at all, either for or against our Father or satan].” Our Father God created each soul for His pleasure, including satan before his fall from our Father God’s love and grace. We should always stand with our Father and never with anything or anyone [satan] created by our Father God.

Matthew 13:16 says, “But blessed [are] your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.” Those with eyes to see and ears to hear stood with our Father against satan’s rebellion in the First or Former Earth Age. Paul teaches in Ephesians 1:12, “That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. Verse 13 says, “In whom ye also [trusted], after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,” Verse 14 says, “Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.” Therefore, those with eyes to see and ears to hear do not question our Father’s Word, rather, seek a better understanding by a Chapter by Chapter and Verse by Verse study of His Word of Truth each and every day. Further, as Paul teaches and John reiterates, I John 2:20 says, “But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things. Verse 24 says, “Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.” Verse 27 says, “But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.” Seek out someone with the anointing of our Father, which is the unction from the Holy One. Once you are on the proper path of understanding, the false doctrine of man will not entangle you within the snare of enticing words of man’s wisdom, which is foolishness with our Father God.

Matthew 13:17 says, “For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous [men] have desired to see [those things] which ye see, and have not seen [them]; and to hear [those things] which ye hear, and have not heard [them].” The prophets and the righteous who do not live in our dispensation of time would not see the age of modern technology. Satellites that transmit image’s from country to country, computers, spacecraft, etc., so the very prophecies that they foretold us about were inconceivable for them to fully comprehend. This is an indicator that the prophets and the righteous were aided by our Father’s Holy Spirit in penning the prophecies that we have seen or will see come to pass in our lifetimes. One of the major events or mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven that the prophets and the righteous desired to see is satan’s disguise as the instead of jesus. They knew of the Parable of the Tares because they co-existed then as they do today. They also understood satan’s overthrow from the Former or First Earth Age known in the Greek as the “katabole.” Remember that “katabole” is derived from “kataballo {kat-ab-al'-lo}”, meaning, “to cast down, to put in a lower place.” This is exactly what happened to satan after his overthrow in the First Earth Age. The prophet Ezekiel teaches us that satan went from the status of a king to that of a prince because of his rebellion against our Father God [Ezekiel – Chapter 28]. This is a mystery of the Kingdom of Heaven that the many called do not understand, but the chosen are blessed by our Father to comprehend. Why then are some called and other’s chosen? Paul teaches us why in his epistle to the Romans as follows.

Romans 8:28 says, “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to [his] purpose.” In the First Earth Age when satan rebelled against our Father, the chosen were those who stood against satan’s folly. There are many, many pulpit gurus who say they were called, by their local phone company perhaps, in this Flesh or Second Earth Age who either took no stand at all or were persuaded to follow satan’s disobedience against our Father, and because of this defiance, were certainly not chosen to teach or lead Father’s children as we live today. Therefore, those who love Almighty God are the chosen children because they stood with our Father against satan’s rebellion and are living in this Flesh or Second Earth Age for the purpose of preaching the Gospel of Truth or the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven. Isaiah 52:7 teaches, “How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!” Verse 8 says, “Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the LORD shall bring again Zion.” The watchmen are those living in this Flesh Age that stood with our Father against satan’s overthrow (katabole) in the First Age.

Romans 8:29 says, “For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate [to be] conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.” “Jesus is Emmanuel”, meaning, “God with us”, as Genesis 1:26 says, “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:” Christ Jesus said that if you have seen the Son, then you have also seen the Father. Therefore, Jesus was the exact flesh image of our Father’s Heavenly or Spiritual personification. Verse 27 says “So God created man in his [own] image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.” Our father did not think Himself too good to be clothed in the same flesh body He fashioned for us [Hebrews – Chapter 2]. Each one of us, like Christ Jesus, is the exact carbon copy of our heavenly selves. Our Lord would further say that flesh is flesh, and spirit is spirit. Therefore, being conformed to the image of Christ also entails being fashioned after His spiritual attributes, which are power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing [Revelation 5:12]. Also, understand that Father said “male and female created He them”, which should dispense any erroneous notion that women cannot preach the Gospel of Father’s Word of Truth. “Foreknow” means, “to have knowledge of the actions of one beforehand because of their actions in the Former or First Earth Age.” Jeremiah 1:4 says, “Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,” Verse 5 says, “Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, [and] I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.” Our Father is testifying that He knew each of us born into this Flesh Age before we were “Born From Above {through the womb}.” Father knew us “before” because we co-existed with Him in a prior Age where satan rebelled against our Father and one-third of Father’s children followed after satan’s rebellion, which was overthrown [Revelation – Chapter 12].

Romans 8:30 says, “Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.” You can only be called if you are both sanctified and ordained (chosen) before being formed in your mother’s womb, hence from the Former or First Earth Age. Christ Jesus said in John 15:16, “Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and [that] your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.” Verse 27 says, “And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.” “Beginning” as in the sense of when you were first created by Father God, you were with Christ Jesus; from the Former or First Earth Age into this present, Flesh or Second Earth Age.

Romans 8:31 says, “What shall we then say to these things? If God [be] for us, who [can be] against us?” Paul’s further teachings help us understand this Verse as Romans 9:14 says, “What shall we say then? [Is there] unrighteousness with God? God forbid.” Verse 19 says, “Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will?” Verse 20 says, “Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed [it], Why hast thou made me thus?” Verse 21 says, “Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?” Verse 22 says, “[What] if God, willing to shew [his] wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:” Verse 23 says, “And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,” Verse 24 says, “Even us, whom he hath called.” Verse 29 says, “And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha.” Our Father God, the LORD of hosts could have destroyed the rebellious children with the First Earth Age itself {spirit}. However, our Father chose that they be saved and enter into this Second Earth Age {flesh} to make the stand they neglected to make against satan’s rebellion from the beginning, or from “afore” as Paul teaches. It can be said that those who stood against satan’s rebellion chose to be sent into this Age of Flesh as Isaiah 6:8 says, “Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here [am] I; send me.”

Romans 8:32 says, “He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?” “All things” for Kingdom building are freely and abundantly given including the wisdom to understand the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven, if one stood against satan’s rebellion from afore, being the Former or First Earth Age. Our Father loves all of His children, even the rebellious from the Age that was. It is the duty and obligation of those who withstood satan’s rebellion to preach the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven because this is our Father’s will. Luke 17:10 says, “So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.”

Romans 8:33 says, “Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? [It is] God that justifieth.” Our Father is always completely just and fair and there is no unrighteousness in Him. Our Father does not play favorites, rather rewards all of His children in accordance to their actions. Those who withstood satan’s rebellion are not better than anyone else, however our Father can count on them in this Flesh or Second Earth Age to withstand satan because they withstood his rebellion from the Former or First Earth Age. Therefore, for you to understand the Parables Christ taught, you must have stood with our Father against satan’s rebellion from the beginning, and remain steadfast even in the midst of the rebellion of this present time.

Christ Jesus taught eight Parables in Matthew – Chapter 13 to help us understand the mystery of the sons of Cain, who are the kenites; kept secret, as satan’s rebellion, from the foundation of this Age.

{1} The Parable of the Sower

Christ Jesus said you must understand this parable or you would not understand any of His parables [Mark 41:1 – 13]. The word of our Father is compared to a seed planted in the earth, and some of these seeds are planted by the wayside, some on stony ground, some amongst thorns, and other’s on good ground. The following teaching of “The Sower” is the reason many are called in this Age of the Flesh or Second Earth [World] Age, however few are chosen to understand the mysteries of the Kingdom of our Father. The seeds of truth that fall by the wayside fall upon the ears of the spiritually dead. Christ said, “Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts [Mark 4:15].” These are composed of the one-third who followed after satan’s rebellion and overthrow from the Former or First Earth Age. The seeds of truth that are planted in stony ground and the seeds of truth that are planted amongst the thorns are the lukewarm who took no stand either then or presently. They usually sit in church houses for specific events or after they have lived it up in the world, now claim they have found “gawd”, or that “gawd” called them. Christ said of the seeds planted in stony ground, “when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness; And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended [Mark 4:16 & 17].” These are normally the churchgoers who believe they will rapture or fly away before the tribulation of satan upon the earth. Christ said, “And these are the seeds planted amongst the thorns, are such that hear the word, “And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful [Mark 4:18 & 19].” These are they who as long as everything is all right in their circle, have little time to worry or concern themselves with others. The seeds received into the good ground are the chosen few, “such as hear the word, and receive [it], and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred [Mark 4:20].” These are they who withstood satan’s rebellion and overthrow, and anxiously receive the truth and share that truth with the way-sided, the stoned, and the thorn choked, with the help of our Father’s precious Holy Spirit. Our Father said to the prophet Ezekiel in Chapter 2 - Verse 3, “Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that hath rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me, [even] unto this very day. Verse 4 says, “For [they are] impudent children and stiffhearted. I do send thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD.” Verse 5 says, “And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, (for they [are] a rebellious house,) yet shall know that there hath been a prophet among them.” Verse 6 says, “And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns [be] with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they [be] a rebellious house.”

{2} The Parable of the Tares

Christ Jesus said concerning this parable, “An enemy hath done this [Matthew 13:28].” This is a compatible secret from the foundation of the world with satan’s rebellion and overthrow because it has to do with his offspring. Many people do not realize that Cain was satan and Eve’s son, and not Adam’s child. Christ explains this fact in this parable, which is the sin in the Garden of Eden from Genesis – Chapter 3. Hear the “Parable of the Tares” of the field as taught by Christ Jesus. Our Lord compared our Father to a man who sowed good seed in His field {born from above, John – Chapter 3}. Our Father’s enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. Christ explains that “the field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked [one]; The enemy that sowed them is the devil [Matthew 13:37 – 39].” “Children” is “huios {hwee-os'}” in the Greek, meaning, “generally used of the offspring of men, in a restricted sense, the male offspring (one born by a father and of a mother), in a wider sense, a descendant, one of the posterity of any one.” The devil is one of satan’s names, as is wicked one, and in the Garden of Eden he produced Cain with Eve [Genesis 3:3 – 7]. “Cain {Strong’s Concordance Hebrew Word No. 07014}” is associated with the tribe of the kenites, making the kenites his offspring. Cain is the son of satan, and Cain’s children, the kenites, are the tares sowed by our Father’s enemy. Christ utilized two of satan’s names in this parable, being the wicked one and the devil [1 John 3:8 – 12]. John reveals that the serpent in the Garden of Eden was satan as Revelation 12:9 says, “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.”

{3} The Parable of the Mustard Seed

Christ Jesus said that a mustard seed is the least of all seeds, ”but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof [Matthew 13:32].” Christ compares our faith to that of a mustard seed as Matthew 17:20 says, “And Jesus said unto them, for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.” The least amount of faith can remove all the power of false doctrine, even revealing unto us the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven. The vile one, satan and his offspring, Cain and the kenites, do not want the truth about them revealed so that satan can perpetrate his deception of the instead of jesus with relative ease and success. If you do not know what happened in the Former or first Earth Age, or the beginning, then you will never understand this present, Flesh or Second Earth Age. Paul said in Romans 10:17, “So then faith [cometh] by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” The truth will make us free from satan’s lies and false teachings, just a little bit of Father’s truth every day will surely keep satan’s temptation and deception away.

{4} The Parable of the Leaven

In this parable Christ Jesus said, “The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened [Matthew 13:33].” Three measures of meal was the standard grain offering to Father God. However, more than this, in the Parable of the Sower that Christ said we all need to understand in order to comprehend any of His parables, there are four types of people who hear the Word of our Father, and three of those types are stiff-necked, rebellious and hardhearted. Christ said, “Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees [Matthew 16:6], which, is the “false doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees [Matthew 16:11].” Leaven is applied to that which, though small in quantity, yet by its influence thoroughly pervades a thing; "a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump", just as a little deception and man’s traditions saturates the soul from generation unto generation.

{5} The Parable of the Treasure in the Field

Christ Jesus said concerning this parable, “the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field [Matthew 13:44].” Therefore, “Buy the truth, and sell [it] not; [also] wisdom, and instruction, and understanding [Proverbs 23:23].” Proverbs 2:3 says, “Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, [and] liftest up thy voice for understanding;” Verse 4 says, “If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as [for] hid treasures;” Verse 5 says, “Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.” Matthew 6:21 says, “For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.”

{6} The Parable of the Pearls

This parable is much like the Parable of the Hidden Treasure in the field. Christ Jesus said, “the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:” “Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it [Matthew 13:45 & 46.” Isaiah 33:6 says, “And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, [and] strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD [is] his treasure.” Proverbs 1:7 says, “The fear of the LORD [is] the beginning of knowledge: [but] fools despise wisdom and instruction.” “Fear” means “love.” “Pearl” is the Greek word “margarites {mar-gar-ee'-tace}”, meaning, “a word of great value, i.e., the most sacred and precious teachings of the Gospel thrust upon the most wicked and abandoned men (incompetent as they are, through their hostility to the Gospel, to receive them), and thus to profane them.”

{7} The Parable of the Net Cast into the Sea

Christ Jesus said, “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:” “Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away [Matthew 13:47 & 48].” In a sea you will find sea scavengers unfit for consumption and food blessed by our Father for sustenance. Christ is likening the tares and the wheat by the comparison of the net cast into the sea and filled with both the fit and the unfit, or the children of our Father and the children [kenites] of the devil.

{8} The Parable of the Householder

Christ Jesus ends His parables with, “Therefore every scribe [which is] instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man [that is] an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure [things] new and old [Matthew 13:52].” All who have accepted Christ as their personal Savior become as Paul teaches, a new creation. II Corinthians 5:17 says, “Therefore if any man [be] in Christ, [he is] a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” Many of the scribes that penned the teachings of the prophets and even into the times of Christ and the Apostles, were tares, or the offspring of Cain who was the son of satan. I Chronicles 2:55 says, “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.” Matthew 23:1 says, “Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,” Verse 2 says, “Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:” Verse 3 says, “All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, [that] observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.” Remember Isaiah’s teaching that “the fear of the LORD [is] his treasure [Isaiah 33:6].” We must purge out the old leaven and become a new lump unto our Father God. The way to accomplish this is to study all of our Father God’s Word, being the Old Testament and the New Testament, Chapter by Chapter and Verse by Verse. Paul said in II Timothy 2:15, “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” Verse 16 says, “But shun profane [and] vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.”

CONCLUSION

The eight Parables that Christ Jesus taught in Matthew – Chapter 13 all have one thing in common, they revolve around the kenites, Cain’s offspring, who was the child of satan and Eve. Christ said let the tares grow together with the wheat until the harvest, which is the end of this Flesh or Second Earth Age. By the Son of man, “So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth , and sever the wicked from among the just,” “And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth [Matthew 13:49 & 50].” “Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear [Matthew 13:43].” Our Lord’s question us is, all of mankind is, “Have ye understood all these things? Can we say unto him, Yea, Lord? [Matthew 13:51].” I Corinthians 3:7 says, “So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.” Amen Amen!!!~

CAUGHT UP

I Would Not Have You To Be Ignorant

Many church attendees believe that the church will rapture or flyaway before the tribulation of the anti-christ, which is satan’s deception as he who comes instead of Christ Jesus. This deception of satan as the anti-christ or the instead of jesus occurs before the Second Coming of Christ Jesus, which is the Day of the Lord. The church is “caught up” in an ocean of deception, misinterpreting Paul’s teaching from [IThessalonians 4:17] which says, “Then we which are alive [and] remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.” It is necessary to the subject matter that Paul is addressing within this Verse, which is outlined starting with Verse 13. Therefore, one should revert back to the subject line or back to [IThessalonians 4:13], and not hop and skip around because this is why Paul’s teaching is so unjustly misunderstood. It is necessary to seek to understand the intended meaning of the phrase “caught up”, which means it is necessary to break back these words into the original Greek language. Often times our English understanding of other languages does not fully translate the intended thought or idea intended. “Caught Up” is the Greek word “harpazo {har-pad'-zo}, meaning to seize, carry off by force, to snatch out or away.” It is probably akin to the Greek word “airo {ah'-ee-ro}”, meaning “to take away from another what is his or what is committed to him, to take by force.” Also, “to take from among the living, either by a natural death, or by violence, cause to cease, to take off or away what is attached to anything, to move from its place.” These definitions of the words “caught up” are attached to the subject which is found in I Thessalonians 4:13, which says, “But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.” Paul’s subject has absolutely nothing to do with those who attend church buildings escaping the tribulation of satan as the anti-christ, rather concerns those who are asleep or those who have ceased living in flesh bodies since they have passed away, and absent from the flesh body is present with our LORD. I, as Paul, “would not have you to be ignorant”, therefore let us study Paul’s teaching of “where the dead are” Verse by Verse, which as you will see does not in any way address the rapture or flyaway of the church attendees.

I Thessalonians - Chapter 4, Verses 13 - 18 [Subject – Those Who Are Asleep]

I Thessalonians 4:13 says, “But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.” “Asleep” is the Greek word “koimao {koy-mah'-o}, meaning to die.” Christ Jesus taught us concerning those asleep or who have died in the flesh in Luke 8:52 which says, “Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth.” In this particular teaching the ruler of a synagogue’s daughter had fallen asleep or passed away in the flesh. The next Verses of Christ Jesus’ teaching bear out why Paul taught us not to be ignorant concerning those who are asleep or have died in the flesh because it is ignorance that causes you to have no hope. Luke 8:53 says, “And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.” Paul’s teaching of asleep and Christ Jesus’ teaching of sleepeth have the same meaning, to die in the flesh. Ecclesiastes teaches 12:6 says, “Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern.” Verse 7 says, “Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.” As Paul teaches in another of his Epistles, “it is far better to be absent from the flesh and to be present with the LORD.” Those that laughed and scorned Christ Jesus are the “ignorant”, which means “to err or sin through mistake, to be wrong.” Luke 8:54 says, “And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise.” Christ Jesus is the resurrection of life. When Lazarus, Martha and Mary’s brother, passed away, Christ Jesus said in John 11:11, “Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.” John 11:25 says, “I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:” John 11:26 says, “And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?” Christ Jesus taught those of us alive, remaining in the flesh what occurs at the hour of another’s individuals flesh death, being, they are loosed and let go. Our Lord led captivity captive, which means Christ Jesus is our victory over the grave and death, that is the devil, which as Paul teaches, who through fear of death were all our lifetime subject to bondage. It is because of the foolishness taught from pulpits that most people have no concept of where their loved ones and friends are while absent from the flesh. They are not in some hole in the ground, but in the presence of our Father God as we were taught from in Ecclesiastes 12:6-7. Every soul returns back unto our Father God who breathed the breath of life body into every soul created for His pleasure. This includes the good, the bad, and the pretty and ugly [Luke 16:19-31]. Luke 8:55 says, “And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat.” Spirit is the breath of life body that our Father God breathed into every flesh living soul. It is the inner man or spiritual body that instantly comes alive at the moment of one’s flesh death [I Corinthians - Chapter 15]. Do not just read over what Christ Jesus said to give the risen maiden. Christ Jesus said “give her meat”, not milk, but meat. And, once again through the teachings of Paul we learn, “For every one that useth milk [is] unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.” “But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, [even] those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil [Hebrews 5:13]”, or the difference between ignorance and understanding. It is truly evil to allow yourself to be steeped in the traditions of man rather than the truth of our Father God’s written Word. The evil one satan binds the ignorant and unlearned with misunderstanding and lies from generation unto generation. Thanks be unto our Father God who incarnated Himself in the person of Christ Jesus, and John teaches in John 1:14, “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” You should show yourself approved unto our Father God by studying His written word Chapter by Chapter and Verse by Verse, daily.

I Thessalonians 4:14 says, “For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him”. Do not forget so soon Christ Jesus’ teaching concerning Lazarus which says, “I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die.” When Christ Jesus was crucified one of the malefactor’s crucified with Him said in Luke 23:42 & 43, “Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.” “And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.” Christ Jesus said” Today”, not some future day; “Today, as in now or at the moment one sheds this fragile flesh domicile.” Peter teaches in I Peter 3:18, “For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:” This Verse says it all concerning those who are asleep in the flesh. Those who are asleep are the equivalent of death in the flesh, however they are alive by the Spirit, that is the Spirit of our Father God. From Genesis we learn in Genesis 2:7, “And the LORD God formed man [of] the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.” Our Father God breathed into our flesh bodies the breath of life or spiritual body that immediately takes over at the moment of death of the flesh body. Paul teaches in I Corinthians 15:20, “But now is Christ risen from the dead, [and] become the firstfruits of them that slept.” Verse 23 says, “But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.” Paul is teaching about two sets of people; those already passed from the flesh to the spirit realm, and those who remain alive unto the Second Coming of Christ Jesus. Did Paul say that Christ would rise? No, Paul teaches that Christ “is risen”, therefore the dead in the flesh are risen with Christ also, and anyone who remains alive until the Second Coming of Christ Jesus will immediately be transfigured into spiritual bodies without ever dying in the flesh. I Peter 3:19 says, “By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;” This Verse is why I turned toward this particular teaching of Peter. Many believe that Christ Jesus was dead in the grave for three and one-half days, however Christ Jesus was not dead, because He is “Emmanuel”, meaning “God with us”, and satan, death could not hold the Creator of the heavens and the earth, who is Christ Jesus. Peter teaches that Christ entered into satan’s domain and preached the Gospel unto the imprisoned spirits, or those who had died in the flesh before our Lord was born from above. Our Father God is always fair and just, and many righteous had died before the First Advent of Christ Jesus, although they prophesied of His Coming. All who had died prior to Christ Jesus’ First Appearance, including Adam and Eve, Abraham and Sarah, Moses, Elijah, David, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel and all the prophets and righteous as well as the unrighteous were told that their prophesies concerning Christ Jesus’ First Coming had been fulfilled. “Preached” is the Greek word “kerusso {kay-roos'-so}, meaning to publish, proclaim openly: something which has been done, always with the suggestion of formality, gravity and an authority which must be listened to and obeyed. “ Christ Jesus said in John 5:24 & 25, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.” “Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.” I Peter 3:20 says, “Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.” That is, eight Adamic souls whom Christ Jesus would be born through. Noah and his family had the only perfect pedigree as taught in our Father God’s Word and the Adamic people are the birth-line of Christ Jesus. Genesis 6:9 says, “These [are] the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man [and] perfect in his generations, [and] Noah walked with God.”Perfect in his generations” means that Noah and his family had not been corrupted by mixing with the Nephilim, the fallen angels of Genesis – Chapter 6, as further explained in the epistle of Jude. Our Father God also told Noah to take two of every flesh into the ark with himself, his wife, sons and daughters-in-laws and as is taught in Genesis 6:19, “And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every [sort] shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep [them] alive with thee; they shall be male and female.” Our Father God is the same today, yesterday, and forever. Just as our Father God was patient and longsuffering in the days of Noah, He is as patient and longsuffering towards us today. Peter also teaches in II Peter 3:8 & 9, “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.” “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” It is our Father God’s loving will that all of His creation, created for His pleasure, comes unto the knowledge of the truth of His Holy Written Word. Therefore, understand the truth of this study which is that Father God would have all of us to understand where the flesh dead are. This should not be confused with satan’s lie of the rapture or flyaway of the church to escape his tribulation when he comes first in the place of or as instead of jesus. I Peter 3:22 says, “Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.” Many people do not seem to realize that even satan at this time is in the heavens. There is no hell underneath and Heaven above as we were taught as children, and many pulpit gurus so ignorant to continue this teaching even today. John teaches in the “Book of Revelation” unto the churches that satan will be cast to this earth from the heavenly realm when he comes disguised as the instead of jesus. Revelation 12: 7 – 9 says, “And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,” “And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.” “ 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.” Revelation 12:12 says, “Therefore rejoice, [ye] heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.” The vile one, satan’s deception on the earth as he who comes first to the earth as instead of jesus is a short time of five months [Revelation – Chapter 9]. I Peter 4:5 says, “Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead.” Christ Jesus said in John 5:20 – 23, “For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.” “For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth [them]; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.” “For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:” “That all [men] should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.” Christ Jesus is the Way, the Truth, the Life, to the “Light of Everlasting Life” and no man comes unto the Father except through Christ Jesus. I Peter 4:6 says, “For this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.” Our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus paid the penalty for our sins. Isaiah 53:5 & 6 says, “But he [was] wounded for our transgressions, [he was] bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace [was] upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. “All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.” Everyone, the dead in the flesh and the living at Christ Jesus’ return will not face the judgment seat of our Father God until after Christ Jesus’ Millennial or one thousant year reign upon the earth. All sins that anyone has not repented of will be held against them and must be accounted for at Father God’s Great White Throne of Judgment [Revelation - Chapter 20]. Repent means to not only say you are sorry, it means to also change your ways so that you are pleasing to our Father God.

I Thessalonians 4:15 says, “For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive [and] remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.” “Prevent] is “phthano {fthan'-o} in the Greek”, meaning “to come before, precede.” We, which are alive at the Second Coming of Christ Jesus will not come before or precede those asleep because they are already with our Lord. II Corinthians 5:1 says, “For we know that if our earthly house of [this] tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.” “Eternal” is the Greek word “aionios {ahee-o'-nee-os}”, meaning “without beginning and end, that which always has been and always will be, never to cease, everlasting.” Christ Jesus said in John 14:2 & 3, “In my Father's house are many mansions: if [it were] not [so], I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.” “And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, [there] ye may be also.”

I Thessalonians 4:16 says, “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:” The dead in Christ Jesus are already risen and this can be witnessed in Paul’s teaching concerning the two bodies each of us are endowed with from our Father God. I Corinthians 15:52 says, “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” “Raised” in the Greek is “egeiro {eg-i'-ro}”, meaning “to cause to appear, bring bfore the public.” Paul taught in II Corinthians 5:7, “(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)?” When Christ Jesus entered satan’s domain and set the captives free, we are told through our Father God’s Word In Matthew 27:52 & 53, “And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,” “And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.” Faith in our Father God and in the resurrection of Christ Jesus brings us sight. We have our Father God’s Word to assure us that the dead in Christ Jesus are already in the presence of the Lord, and not in the grave. The grave holds only the flesh remains, however the soul and the breath of life or spiritual body returns unto Almighty God who gave it to one and all. “Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing.”

I Thessalonians 4:17 says, “Then we which are alive [and] remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.” Remember Paul’s subject concerns those who have passed away (died) in the flesh; therefore, “caught up” means “to seize, carry off by force, to snatch out or away, to take from among the living, either by a natural death, or by violence, cause to cease, to take off or away what is attached to anything, to move from its place.” II Corinthians 5:1 says, “For we know that if our earthly house of [this] tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.” “Clouds” is “nephos {nef'-os} in the Greek”, meaning “a large dense multitude, a throng.” A teaching of “cloud” is taught in Hebrews 12:1 which says, “Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset [us], and let us run with patience the race that is set before us.”Air” in the Greek is “aer {ah-ayr'}” - from aemi (to breathe unconsciously, i.e. respire; by analogy, to blow). A teaching of “air” is taught in Genesis 2:7, which says, “And the LORD God formed man [of] the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.” If you are Biblically illiterate it is quite easy to see why caught up causes you so much difficulty in understanding Paul’s teaching. The rapture or flyaway of the church is construed from one of the meanings of caught up, which is to take off or away. However, in John’s teaching of the events that consummate the end of this Flesh of Second Earth Age, Revelation 12:15 says, “And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.” Therefore, if you do not follow Paul’s subject then you can be carried away by satan’s rapture or flyaway lie and be caught up in accepting his false role as the first christ that comes to the earth as the instead of jesus.

I Thessalonians 4:18 says, “Wherefore comfort one another with these words.” “Comfort” means “to refresh or cheer, given not only with words, but also by the experience of a happier lot or by a happy issue.” “Comfort” is the Greek word “parakaleo {par-ak-al-eh'-o}”, and its outline of Biblical Usage is as follows:
1) to call to one's side, call for, summon
2) to address, speak to, (call to, call upon), which may be done in the way of exhortation, entreaty, comfort, instruction, etc.
a) to admonish, exhort
b) to beg, entreat, beseech, pray
1) to strive to appease by entreaty
c) to console, to encourage and strengthen by consolation, to comfort
1) to receive consolation, be comforted
d) to encourage, strengthen
e) exhorting and comforting and encouraging
f) to instruct, teach
Therefore, Paul is exhorting us by way of instruction to comfort one another with words. Paul did not “teach those words” of the rapture, any moment or flyaway of the church. Paul has not mentioned any words pertaining to satan’s flood of lies that causes the ignorant to be carried away by the words “caught up” because they did not heed Paul’s subject of instruction, which is clearly taught in I Thessalonians 4:13 which says, “But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.” Therefore, the words that Paul desires that we comfort one another with is found in understanding where the dead are, and in the fact that we will be reunited with them at the Second Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ which is at the sounding of the Seventh Trumpet of Father God. This is the refreshing and the cheer not only given by Paul’s exhortation of comfort, but also by the happy lot and happy issue of the Coming of the Lord at being reunited with our family, other loved ones and friends. Best of all to be in the presence of our Father God, restored and revived with the happy experience we once knew before the rebellion and subsequent overthrow of satan in the destruction of the Former or First Earth Age. “Caught Up”] simply means, “we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.”

Rev 1:17 & 18 says, “And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:” “I [am] he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.” “Hallelujah, Praise Ye YAH!!!”

The “Rapture” Theory

I Thessalonians 4:16 - 17 for those with ears to hear and eyes to see who study Father’s Word seeking the increase which is wisdom, hand and hand with prudence, understand the meaning of “Caught up” which means “to seize, snatch out or away.” “Air” means “spiritual body [Greek "aero", or breath of life {spiritual} body]”. It is not speaking of the atmosphere, which is of the flesh. This is the same “breath of life or spiritual body” that Almighty God breathed into the nostrils of Adam as is taught in Genesis 2:7 which says, “And the LORD God formed man [of] the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.” Also, when Paul was speaking/teaching, he was using colloquial Greek [street Greek, or conversational Greek, figures of speech; known as slang today], and when he speaks of "clouds" it means “a large crowd.” Read Hebrews 12:1 which speaks of “so great a cloud of witnesses.”

I Thessalonians 4:16 says, “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:” “The dead in Christ shall rise first” because they are already with Him. To be absent from the body {flesh} is to be present with our Father God [Ecclesiastes 12:6 - 7].

I Thessalonians 4:17 says, “Then {after the 7th Trumpet sounds} we which are alive {in the flesh when Christ Jesus returns} [and] remain shall be caught up {snatched from out flesh bodies } together with them in the clouds {with the crowd, the remnant returning with Christ}, to meet the Lord in the air {breath of life bodies, since flesh and blood cannot be in the presence of our Lord}: and so shall we ever be with the Lord {His coming, the Day of our Lord and the first day of the Millennial Kingdom teaching ¬here on this earth}. Jesus Christ is returning to this earth {Second Advent/Day of our Lord}, therefore, Heaven will be on this earth we now live upon, our Father God Almighty returning with all of the Heavenly host after the Millennial Kingdom teaching. There is “no rapture.” You must go through both tribulations, satan's [Matthew 24:21 & Revelation – Chapter 9] and Father God’s {Day of our Lord, Revelation – Chapter 8}, how there is nothing to fear when you “study to shew yourself approved” because within that, our LORD will never leave or forsake His children who bless His precious Word.

Remember the three children of Israel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. They were thrown into the fiery furnace and did not burn. You will not be harmed in the tribulation IF you believe in Christ Jesus and are not deceived. Father God is not angry at you; only His enemies, which includes those that do not study His Word Chapter by Chapter and Verse by Verse, so that we all can stand against the deception of satan as the instead of jesus when he is cast to this earth at the Sixth Trump, Seal and Vial [Revelation 12:7 – 9]. Study II Thessalonians 2:1 – 4; for the son of perdition, who is satan, the anti-christ, must be revealed BEFORE the return of Christ Jesus.

You will not find the “rapture, fly away, any moment or caught up false teachings” in the Holy Bible or with the Hebrew or Greek Manuscripts if you bother to study Father’s Word with a Strong’s Concordance. Rapture comes from “rapture of the deep”; VERY DANGEROUS, being hallucinations, and a false sense of security. BEWARE OF FALSE TEACHERS WHO WILL ROB YOU OF YOUR SALVATION. Beware of the false christ, satan, who will rob you of the joy and peace that only Jesus Christ can give. Paul teaches in I Thessalonians 5:3, “For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.”

II Thessalonians 2:1 says, “Now we beseech you {I want to talk to you very seriously}, brethren, by the {on behalf of} coming of our Lord Jesus Christ {this is the subject, Day of our Lord}, and [by] our gathering together unto Him,”

II Thessalonians 2:2 says, “That ye be not soon {to the end that you all be not quickly} shaken in mind {do not be deceived, do not get your mind confused with babble and confusion, which is of satan}, or be troubled {afraid}, neither by spirit {communication}, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand {the Lord is returning to this earth soon - the day of Christ is the day of Verse 1}.” The “Day of the Lord” is the day of Old Testament prophecy [Isaiah 2:12].

II Thessalonians 2:3 says, “Let no man {not anyone} deceive you by any means {they are trying to, Lit., according to no way. A double negative for emphasis}: for [that day {because that day} shall not come], except {or before the return of Christ Jesus} there come a {the} falling away first {apostasy}, and that man of sin {satan as the anti-christ, instead of jesus, coming to this world to deceive so-called christians} be revealed {exposed}, the son of perdition {who is satan, destruction, death [Isaiah 14:12 – 16];”

II Thessalonians 2:4 says, “Who opposeth and exalteth {opposes and exalts} himself {satan} above all that is called God, or that is worshipped {an object of worship in churches around the world as kenites sit in their pulpits}; so that he {the anti-christ [satan], pretending to be in place of God} as God sitteth in the temple {Jerusalem} of God, showing himself that he is God [Ezekiel – Chapter 28].” Have you never studied Matthew - Chapter 24, Mark – Chapter 13, Luke Chapters 17 & 21, and the Books of Revelation and Daniel.

Let us not forget, “Father God hates” those who teach His children to “fly away or meet in the clouds” to save their souls [Ezekiel 13:17-23].

Ezekiel 13:17 says, “Likewise, thou {you} son of man, set thy {your} face against the daughters of thy {your} people, which prophecy out of their own heart {personal interpretations of Father’s Word}; and prophesy thou {the very elect} against them,” It was the woman Margaret McDonald who dreamed up the rapture or fly away doctrine, stating herself it felt exceedingly evil. Also, in Genesis – Chapter 6, the daughters of the man Adam were wholly seduced by the fallen angels and became impregnated with their evil seed, which was another attempt by satan to destroy the bloodline of Christ Jesus. This Verse is particularly important in this latter generation because Paul teaches in I Corinthians 11:10, “For this cause ought the woman to have power on [her] head because of the angels.” Power within the head [your head] where our brains are stored so that we are equipped with the knowledge that as it was in the days of Noah and Lot regarding these fallen angels, it will be again in these latter days, giving and taking in marriage to satan’s fallen entourage.

Ezekiel 13:18 says, “And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the [women] that sew pillows to all armholes {sew together coverings upon all the joints of My hands, hide from the people the hands of “YAHOVAH” lifted up and stretched forth in judgment [Isaiah 26:11; 52:10]}, and make kerchiefs upon the head of every stature {make mantles to cover the heads and eyes of those on whom the judgment of Father God's hands {wrath} shall fall, lest they should see} to hunt souls {to ensnare in a web of lies, fly away, rapture, caught up, any moment}! Will ye {pulpit gurus and Bible toddlers} hunt the souls of my {Father God’s} people, and will ye {you} save the souls alive [that come] unto you {your false teacher is unable to save his own soul or yours}?” This is a statement of fact. This anger Father God is directing toward all the pulpit gurus {men and women} who say things devised from their own minds and pen. Just as Father God told Ezekiel to speak out against them, so is that directive to the very elect of this generation we now live in. Those of us with eyes to see and ears to hear as the churches of Smyrna and Philadelphia are to speak out against the Biblically illiterate, mainly those in pulpits with their theatrics, lies and foolishness. Father’s election are not attacking what they speak, rather, to “prophecy thou against them.” Also, Adam and Eve sewed fig leaves together in Eden after Eve had been impregnated by satan with Cain, who subsequently would kill his half brother Abel. This was satan’s first attempt to soil the pure pedigree of Jesus’ birth line.

Ezekiel 13:19 says, “And will ye {you} pollute me {Father God} among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread {money, gifts, ill-gotten gain}, to slay the souls that should not die {to prophecy falsely that they should be slain}, and to save the souls alive that should not live {to promise life to those who should not live}, by your lying to my {Father God} people that hear [your] lies {personal interpretation of the Bible and Biblically illiterate teachings}?” We all must study Father God’s love letter to us, His Holy Logos from beginning to ending, being the Book of Genesis through to the Book of Revelation, Chapter by Chapter and Verse by Verse to understand the glory of the LORD God Almighty.

Ezekiel 13:20 “Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD {Father God speaking directly}; Behold, I [am] against your pillows {discern, understand Verse 18}, wherewith ye there hunt the souls to make [them] fly {escape into the deception of satan as the anti-christ, through the rapture, caught up, any moment or fly away traditions of men}, and I will tear them from your arms, and will let the souls go, [even] the souls that ye hunt to make [them] fly.” This is what Father God feels about anyone who teaches His children the lies of rapture, fly away, any moment or caught up doctrines. To say otherwise is to argue with Almighty God. Father said to “wake up” from these lies since those “you hunt” with lies are causing His children to follow the deception of satan as the anti-christ and His Word to become void. Know the difference between “first and second.” Christ Jesus taught in Matthew 24:40 – 41, “Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.” “Two [women shall be] grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.” “Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.” “But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.” You must watch for the first to come, who is satan, since the Sixth Trump comes before the Seventh Trump {Day of our Lord}, and you have to watch for satan coming in his deception {first} because you know the hour of Christ Jesus {second} since He returns “after” satan is upon the earth. Meditate for understanding and rightly divide the Word of Father God.

Ezekiel 13:21 “Your kerchiefs {wraps that cleave close round the head; the object being to cover the head so that Almighty God's hand may not be seen} also will I tear, and deliver my people out of your hand, and they shall be no more in your hand to be hunted; and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.” Father God keeps, in His infinite mercy, telling and reminding His children who He is because wrapped in Biblical illiteracy, if you believe in the rapture, fly away, any moment or caught up doctrines, you are confusing “YAHOVAH” with the son of perdition, death, who is satan.

Ezekiel 13:22 “Because with lies ye {lying, Biblically illiterate teaches who called themselves to pulpits around the world} have made the heart of the righteous sad, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked {the lawless one, satan, the anti-christ}, that he should not return from his wicked {wrong} way, by promising him life {continuance of life, escaping from the judgments announced by YAHOVAH, because the Biblically illiterate believe they are taking flight, therefore have no need to pay attention to the teachings of Yeshua and know the signs of the times we now live in}:” The vile one, satan, is the son of perdition and is the only son currently sentenced to death because of his continual wicked acts against our “Father YAHOVAH.” His final wicked act will be his role as the instead of jesus, anti-christ [II Thessalonians - Chapter 2] where he promises to rapture [fly away, any moment, caught up] people from the very earth where Father God’s Kingdom will be for all Eternity.

Ezekiel 13:23 says, “Therefore ye shall see no more vanity, nor divine divinations: for I will deliver my people out of your hand: and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.” Those filling pulpits around the world calling themselves bishops, brothers, sisters, preachers, teachers, reverends, evangelists, priest, whatever title these Biblically illiterate pulpit gurus decide to place before themselves, will have a seat and be taught during the Millennial Kingdom teaching as Father God removes them from calling themselves a part of His assembly. Father God is telling His very elect to teach against those that lie to His children telling them they shall escape His judgments through their fly away, caught up, rapture and any moment doctrines to save their souls. The “diviners of these demonic traditions and teachings of men’s mind” are taking Father’s children and giving them a crutch to join them in their hop-along charade of christianity. Father’s Word is clear and precise if you chose to listen to what “thus saith our LORD.”

Our Deliverer is Christ Jesus, our “King of kings and Lord of lords” who has already led captivity captive and from the destructive devices of that wicked fallen son, satan. “LORD, I AM THAT I AM, YAHOVAH”, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the “Almighty.”

“Blessed [is] he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time [is] at hand.”

I NEVER KNEW YOU

Paul teaches, “for now [is] our salvation nearer than when we believed [Romans 13:11].” We are living in the end times and it is nearer than most believe. It is important for the entire world to know the difference between Jesus Christ and instead of jesus christ [satan]. People who claim to be “born again” are always asking others who they meet and greet in the street, “are you saved, do you know the LORD?” It is my contention that we as individuals need to spend more of our time, not asking others, but truly asking ourselves if we know the LORD. It is a love thing, which means saying, “I love our LORD”, is also saying, “I love His Word.” David teaches, “For You have magnified Your word above Your name [Psalms 138:2]”, because God is His Word, “Jesus, Emmanuel”, meaning “God with us.” John 1:1 says, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” Verse 14 says, “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” Therefore, to love Father God is to love His Word, equally, meaning every day I love our LORD and His Word, therefore, studying His Word daily, Chapter by Chapter and Verse by Verse. Then, truly I show those I meet and greet in the street that, “yes, I love our LORD because I know Him.” Christ Jesus said in Matthew 5:14, “Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.” Verse 15 says, “Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.” Verse 16 says, “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” “Father God, Thy word [is] a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path [Psalms 119:105].” We need to be able to tell someone the difference between Jesus Christ and instead of jesus christ. This is only possible if we know the difference ourselves. Can you imagine sitting on a church pew all your life believing that you knew our LORD, only to have Christ Jesus at His Second Coming say, “I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity [Matthew 7:23].” Christ Jesus has already told us why He would say, “I never knew you”, but let us understand what “ye that work iniquity” truly means. Matthew 7:21 says, “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” Our Lord taught a parable on this wise in Matthew 21:28 which says, “But what think ye? A [certain] man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard.” Verse 29 says, “He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went.” Verse 30 says “”And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I [go], sir: and went not.” Verse 31 says, “Whether of them twain did the will of [his] father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.” Christ Jesus makes it clear in this teaching that the ones in the street will eventually do His will, however the church attendees will not. Realizing the truth is what our Father God wills, meaning one needs to know the difference between Jesus Christ’s Second Advent and satan’s event as the instead of jesus christ. Most attending church buildings believe that they are pleasing to our Father God for such service, however Jesus’ parable reveals a different truth. It is imperative to know the time of Jesus’ Second Visitation to this earth, and the event which comes before that time.

Matthew 7:22 says, “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?” Christ Jesus foretold us of the many that would come in His name, as pastors, reverends, preachers, teachers, evangelists, ministers, pulpit gurus in every shape and form and this is one of the signs that precede His Second Advent. Matthew 24:3 says, “And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what [shall be] the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?” Verse 4 says, “And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.” Verse 5 says, “For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.” Many will say I am an ambassador for Christ, and tell you their church is a Bible based church, however cannot reveal unto us the seven events that consummate the end of this Flesh of Second Earth Age; the Seventh {Trump, Seal, Vial} being Jesus’ Second Advent, or the Day of the Lord.

Matthew 7:23 says, “And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. “Never”, meaning, “ever; at no time in the past or future; at all; certainly not in any circumstances.” I would equate this Verse to a boxing match and ye that work iniquity are knocked out in the first few seconds of the first round. It is important to remember that Christ Jesus is making this statement to those who will say, “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.” “I never knew you”, not in any circumstances, at no time in the past or future. “Iniquity” is the condition of being ignorant of the seven events that consummate the end of this Flesh Age, and unaware of the difference between Jesus Christ and instead of jesus christ, satan in disguise of Jesus’ Second Advent. Verse 24 says, “Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:” Christ Jesus taught us the seven events that bring about the end of this Age ushering in His Second Advent, the Day of the Lord, or the Millennial Reign, which is Jesus’ one thousand year reign upon the earth. A wise man, which built his house upon a rock, knows our Rock is Jesus Christ, and a wise man knows that the false rock, satan, is not our “Lord of lord and King of kings.” A wise man knows that satan is cast to this earth at the Sixth Trump to disguise himself as the false jesus, however Jesus Christ will not return to this earth until the Seventh Trump. Verse 25 says, “And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.” The flood of the end times is not an overflowing of water, but the lies of satan that deluge the ignorant. The ignorant being those who say, “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?” Being founded upon our Rock, Jesus Christ is a foundation built upon the truth, having the knowledge of the seven events that bring the Flesh Age to a close. This is the shelter from satan’s flood of lies that he is jesus christ returning to rapture [fly away] those who claimed to prophesy, cast out devils, and have done many wonderful works in Jesus’ name.

Matthew 7:26 says, “And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:” Jesus forewarns us that satan will be cast to the earth in disguise as the false christ. Matthew 24:23 says, “Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here [is] Christ, or there; believe [it] not. Verse 24 says, “For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if [it were] possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Verse 25 says, “Behold, I have told you before.” Remember the ten virgins, five were wise and five were foolish. The five wise virgins built their house upon our Rock, our True Christ, and not the flood of lies of the false christ, satan. The five foolish virgins wed the first christ to come to the earth, satan as the instead of jesus. They did not heed Jesus’ teaching, “Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here [is] Christ, or there; believe [it] not.”

Matthew 7:27 says, “And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.” I Corinthians 3:11 says, “For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.” Christ Jesus also warned us of the flood for the end times, which is satan’s deception of lies that he is jesus returning to the earth to rapture the ignorant, which are the foolish. Revelation 12:7 says, “And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,” Verse 8 says, “And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.” Verse 9 says, “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.” Verse 15 says, “And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.” Verse 16 says, “And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.” Verse 17 “And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.” The testimony of Jesus Christ is for the wise who heed the truth that Jesus forewarned us about, which is satan being cast to this earth in disguise as the false christ. The flood that the serpent, satan, cast out of his mouth is that he is jesus, and his flyaway [rapture] lie.

Matthew 7:28 says, “And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:” The people “astonished at his doctrine” will not include those to whom Christ Jesus will say, “I never knew you.” It will be the ones who prophesied, cast out devils, and many other works in the instead of jesus’ name because they did not realize the time of Jesus’ True Visitation, His Second Advent, which will happen after satan’s event as the false christ.

Matthew 7:29 says, “For he taught them as [one] having authority, and not as the scribes.” The scribes annulled the commandments of Almighty God for the sake of their own traditions. Christ Jesus said in Matthew 15:8, “This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with [their] lips; but their heart is far from me.” Verse 9 says, “But in vain they do worship me, teaching [for] doctrines the commandments of men.” “Teaching for doctrines the commandments of men” will cause one to bow a knee to satan in his disguise as the false christ. This is the iniquity that Christ Jesus said would cause Him to say to those guilty of the offence, “I never knew you.” This means, at no time in the past or future; at all; certainly not in any circumstances, not in the circumstances of prophesying, healing, or any other works. Luke 12:56 says, “[Ye] hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time? “Ask, Seek, Knock – Amen Amen!”

Christ Jesus Only

“JESUS” - OR - instead of jesus [satan]

These are the latter or last days and there are “Seven Events” that consummate the “end of this Flesh or Second Earth Age.” One of the major events or signs that Jesus’ Second Advent is very near, even knocking at the doors, is the coming of the instead of jesus, satan as the anti-christ, which precedes the Second Coming of Christ. Jesus taught us the signs of the end times in Matthew – Chapter 24, Mark - Chapter 13 & Luke - Chapters 17 & 21. There is only one way to avoid the deception of satan as the instead of jesus, the anti-christ, and that is by studying our Father’s Word so you are not a part of “the deception, the famine of the end times and bowing down to the false christ when he is cast to this earth to perpetrate the greatest deception ever to be known to mankind.”
Mark 13:3 says, “And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,” The Mount of Olives, from which our Savior ascended, is the place where Christ will again descend at His Second Coming. Zechariah 14:3 says, “Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.” Verse 4 says, “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.” This is the valley of decision or judgment where Christ Jesus will divide the sheep from the goats. Matthew 25:32 says, “And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth [his] sheep from the goats: Verse 33 says, “And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.”

Mark 13:4 says, “Tell us, when shall these things be? and what [shall be] the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled? From the previous Verse we learned that Peter, James, John and Andrew asked Jesus privately about the events/signs of His Second Coming. Privately, as in the sense of an interpretation wherein one thinks out for oneself by pondering or meditating upon a matter. Luke 10:23 says, “And he turned him unto [his] disciples, and said privately, Blessed [are] the eyes which see the things that ye see:” Verse 24 says, “For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen [them]; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard [them].” Jesus’ teachings in Luke allows us to understand that these events/signs would happen in our time, not the time of the prophets and kings, but the latter days and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of this Age are to come.

“Disciple” is “mathetes {math-ay-tes'}” in the Greek, meaning, “a pupil or one eager to follow the teachings of another, learning by use and practice.” “Use” and “Practice” are two very important words to one desiring “to be a disciple of Christ Jesus.” Paul teaches in Hebrews 5:14 which says, “But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, [even] those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.” “Strong meat” is what a mature student of Father God’s Word requires “to be a disciple of Jesus’ private teachings.” “Use” and “Practice discloses the meaning of disciple as “one who learns”, and Paul used “Exercised” in place of “Practice.” Paul stresses our senses are exercised as an analogy to the exercise of our physical bodies. “Senses” is “aistheterion {ahee-sthay-tay'-ree-on}” in the Greek, meaning, “the faculty of the mind for perceiving, understanding, discerning, achieved by exercise, practice, and/or use.” One will “lose” if these “senses” are not used, and in this case, “lose out” on obtaining an intimate relationship with Christ Jesus that is required to be a disciple of His private teachings.

Mark 13:5 says, “And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any [man] deceive you:” This is the first sign disclosed in Jesus’ teaching to His disciples, “to be on guard against deception.” “Deceive” in the Greek is “planao {plan-ah'-o}”, meaning, “apostasy or a falling away from the truth or real thing.” Paul teaches about the “apostasy” of the end or latter days, being this generation, which would make one a follower of the instead of jesus, satan. II Thessalonians 2:1 says, “Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and [by] our gathering together unto him,” Paul is guiding our attention to a specific time, that of the Second Coming of Christ Jesus. At Christ’s First Advent He came as the Lamb of God to be offered for the sins of many, however “Christ’s Second Coming/Advent” will not be as the Lamb slain, rather to establish Himself “as King of kings and Lord of lords” [Hebrews 9:28]. Christ Jesus will have the cup of the wrath of Almighty Father God, that same cup He prayed would pass from Him just prior to His Passion of the cross [Matthew 26:39, 42 & 44]. Verse 2 says, “That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.” When one studies our Father’s Word Chapter by Chapter and Verse by Verse as commanded by our Almighty God, then one will not be shaken and/or troubled concerning the Second Coming/Advent of Christ Jesus. Confusion is overshadowed by complete knowledge and understanding. Paul teaches in another of his Epistles thusly. Romans 13:11 says, “And that, knowing the time, that now [it is] high time to awake out of sleep: for now [is] our salvation nearer than when we believed.” Verse 12 says, “The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.

II Thessalonians 2:3 says, “Let no man deceive you by any means: for [that day shall not come], except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;” Paul is warning against deception the same as Christ Jesus in His private teaching to His disciples did. Paul also discloses to us who the man is causing the deception prior to the Day of the Lord as, [1] that man of sin and [2] the son of perdition. Jesus said do not be deceived by any man, especially and including that man of sin and/or the son of perdition, “satan as the instead of jesus.” Verse 4 says, “Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.” Isaiah teaches us thusly concerning that man of sin and the son of perdition [satan]. Isaiah 14:12 says, “How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! [how] art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!” “Lucifer” is another of satan’s names, and means, “morning star or son of the morning.” This vile one, satan, has always wanted to sit on the very Throne of our Father God. He will be cast to this earth as the pretend or fake christ, which is his “disguise of deception for these end times or latter days as the anti-christ or the instead of jesus.” Verse 13 says, “For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:” In the First Earth Age {spiritual} satan’s name was lucifer and he committed this offense against our Father God in the Heaven or First Earth Age {former/spiritual}, and will again perpetrate this deception in this Second Earth Age {current/flesh}. Slew footed satan’s deception brought about the destruction of that First Age just as his deception as the anti-christ or the instead of jesus will consummate the end of this Second or Flesh Earth Age we now live in. Verse 14 says, “I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.” This is exactly Paul’s teaching in II Thessalonians 2:4 which says, “Who [satan]” will oppose and exalt himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God will sit in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.” Ecclesiastes 1:9 says, “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.” Verse 10 says, “Is there [any] thing whereof it may be said, See, this [is] new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.” Verse 11 says, “”[There is] no remembrance of former [things]; neither shall there be [any] remembrance of [things] that are to come with [those] that shall come after.”

Mark 13:6 says, “For many shall come in my name, saying, I am [Christ]; and shall deceive many.” In these end times or last days many preachers, pastors, reverends, ministers, evangelists, all the many pulpit gurus, are professing that our Father God called them to preach the Gospel. The very elect who are the disciples of the teachings of Christ Jesus realize that many are called, but few are chosen to bring forth the truth of these end times or latter days. Paul teaches that the many professing to be of Christ Jesus are the ministers of satan who transform themselves into ministers of righteousness just as satan will disguise himself as an angel of light [the anti-christ or the instead of jesus]. Take heed against this deception. Anyone who professes to be called unto the Gospel and does not study and teach our Father God’s Word precept upon precept and line upon line {Chapter by Chapter and Verse by Verse}, with stammering lips and another tongue will they speak to this people. Here a little, and from there a little more, that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken by satan and held captive by him at his will [Isaiah – Chapter 28].

Mark 13:8 says, “For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these [are] the beginnings of sorrows.” After war follows famine, and the famine for the end times is taught by the prophet Amos as Amos 8:11 says, “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:” Amos is very exact in teaching us “what the famine for the end times is”, not for bread and water, but “for the truth of our Father God’s Word.” Many are claiming that they are proclaiming the word of truth, however one must study to show themselves approved of our Father God, rightly dividing the Word of Truth with a Chapter by Chapter and Verse by Verse study of our Father God’s Word, DAILY. Verse 12 says, “And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find [it].” People are hungry for the Truth of our Father God’s Word and we see just what Amos teaches in this Verse happening today. People of all denominations, religious backgrounds and professions are seeking, however not finding because many are called, but few are chosen, meaning the chosen few with ears to hear and eyes to see. Christ Jesus said in Matthew 13:3, “Behold, a sower went forth to sow;” Verse 4, “And when he sowed, some [seeds] fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:” Verse 5, “Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:” Verse 6, “And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.” Verse 7, “And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:” Verse 8, “But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.” Verse 9, “Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.” Verse 10, “And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?” Verse 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.” “Use, Practice and/or Exercise” are what define a disciple in Father God’s Word of Truth. Amos 8:13 says, “In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst.” No gender is intended in this Verse because all of Father God’s children, male and female should be spiritual virgins waiting for the Second Coming/Advent of our “Lord of lords, and King of kings” who is Christ Jesus. Paul teaches that in due season we shall reap “IF” we faint not [Galatians 6:9]. Therefore, let us not become weary in well doing, that is to study our Father God’s Word of Truth that will equip us to stand against the deception and disguise of satan as the anti-christ or the instead of jesus.

The opposite of war is peace and safety, and this is how satan as the anti-christ or the instead of jesus will deceive many. Paul teaches in I Thessalonians 5:1, “But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.” Paul is simply stating that he has taught about the end times or latter days over and over again, and it should have taken root so that satan’s deception will not come to pass if one has ears to hear and eyes to see. Verse 2 says, “For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.” A thief attacks when one is asleep or off guard. Therefore, one should continually be on a spiritual watch so that satan’s disguise and deception as the anti-christ or the instead of jesus will not rob you of your faith. James teaches that faith without works is dead [James – Chapter 2]. Verse 3 says, “For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.” Slew footed satan will be trying to convince the world that he is our True Christ coming to rapture or fly them away. He will come in peace and with a generous supply of prosperity for all. Paul has said, I have warned you time and time again against this deception. “As Travail Upon A Woman With Child” is the equivalent of the labor pains for satan’s deception as the anti-christ or the instead of jesus are occurring closer and closer together just like a woman in labor about to bring forth unto the birth. The earth will not escape because all who remain alive until the Second Coming of Christ Jesus will be here on the earth and not rapture or fly away before the Second Advent/Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Verse 4 says, “But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.” Paul is speaking to the true disciples of Christ Jesus being those who are skillful in the Words of Christ, desiring strong meat and not milk, by continual Use, Practice and/or Exercise therein. Knowledge concerning our Father God’s Word of Truth is the only way to escape being overtaken by the thief, satan as the instead of jesus. Christ Jesus said in John 10:8, “All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep [having strong meat, God’s Truths] did not hear them.” The vile one’s [satan] deception as the instead of jesus is an event that comes before the return or Second Coming of Christ Jesus. Slew footed satan is cast to this earth at the Sixth Trump, and Christ Jesus returns at the Seventh Trump [Revelation – Chapters 6,13,16 & 19].

I Thessalonians 5:5 says, “Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.” There is no darkness in Christ Jesus because He is the Light of the world. Therefore, as His disciples, we abide in His Light and the darkness cannot overshadow us, which is the darkness of false doctrine. David teaches in Psalms 119:11, “Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.” It is a great sin to be deceived by satan as the instead of jesus when our Lord has foretold us all things concerning this deception. When Jesus taught the following, He was speaking to those who did not take the time to study DAILY for themselves, and thusly snared by satan’s disguise as the instead of jesus. Matthew 7:21 says, “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” Verse 22 says, “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?” Verse 23 says, “And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.”

Mark 13:14 says, “But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains: The proper translation should be the “abomination of the desolator”, who is satan disguised as the instead of jesus or the anti-christ. “Desolation” is “a condition”, and cannot stand where it ought not, but “only a person or entity can stand” where he ought not and bring about the condition of desolation. Daniel taught about satan’s deception in Daniel – Chapter 9 as Verse 27 says, “And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make [it] desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.” When one thinks of overspreading, you would think of something with wings, therefore the desolator enters on the wings of abomination and brings about the condition of desolation. This is exactly satan’s false message of the flyaway doctrine [rapture] and our Father God hates this message. Ezekiel 13:20 says, “Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I [am] against your pillows, wherewith ye there hunt the souls to make [them] fly, and I will tear them from your arms, and will let the souls go, [even] the souls that ye hunt to make [them] fly.” Daniel also prophesied of Christ Jesus’ Two Advents; Christ was crucified during His First Advent and Christ Jesus will be misrepresented prior to His Second Advent with satan’s deception as the instead of jesus. Daniel also makes clear the time of the desolator, satan as the instead of jesus when he teaches, “even until the consummation”, which is the major event to bring about or consummate the end of this Flesh or Second Earth Age.

Mark 13:16 says, “And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment.” One that is a disciple of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ should never be without their garment, that is our Father God’s Gospel Armor. It is the garment of truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, prayer and the Word of our Father God [Ephesians 6:10 – 18]. Jesus said in Luke 17:34, “I tell you, in that night there shall be two [men] in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.” Verse 35 says, “Two [women] shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Verse 36 says, “Two [men] shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.” Therefore, he that is in the field let him not turn back. Paul teaches in Hebrews 10:38, “Now the just shall live by faith: but if [any man] draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. Verse 39 says, But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul. If one draws back, then one will be caught up in the deception of that man of sin, that son of perdition, satan, in his disguise as the instead of jesus.

Mark 13:17 “But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!” Jesus said in Mark 13:34, “For the Son [Jesus Christ] of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.” Christ Jesus’ house is His many-membered body, the church. If while Christ Jesus is on His far journey, His house, the church does not remain faithful to their Bridegroom/Husband, then they are like a woman who does not remain faithful to her husband in his absence. If a man has been away from his wife, not home for a year, but when he returns his wife has a nine-month-old baby, then that baby belongs to another, not to her husband. Christ Jesus is speaking spiritually concerning His spiritual house, meaning that if one is deceived by satan as the instead of jesus, that one was not faithful and is no longer Christ Jesus’ spiritual virgin [Matthew 25:1 – 13].

Christ Jesus commanded us to work and watch in His absence from His spiritual house “in those days”, being the days when satan is on this earth deceiving the world with his disguise as the instead of jesus. Christ Jesus did not say flyaway [rapture], but to work and watch. Watch for His return as “King of kings and Lord of lords.” Christ Jesus said His Second Coming would be without observation. The vile one’s [satan] disguise as the instead of jesus will be accompanied by lying signs and wonders or mind boggling miracles. “Touch not; taste not; handle not; Which all are to perish with the using; [Colossians 2:21 & 22].”

Luke 17:20 says, “The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:” Do not be deceived by satan’s mind-boggling miracles, which are lying signs and wonders. If one is caught up with satan’s deception as the instead of jesus, you will not be with observation, or watching and working as Christ Jesus commanded us. “Observation” has a two-fold implication: [1] the Kingdom of God will not consist of mind-boggling deceptive miracles and [2] the Kingdom of God requires that one work and watch. Luke 17:21 says, “Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.” The Kingdom of God is in the Spirit of prophecy, which is the indwelling Holy Spirit of our Father God. The Holy Spirit is our teacher or spiritual instructor in these end times. The Spirit of prophecy is nothing more than spiritual guidance and instruction concerning the events that consummate the end of this Flesh Age and the Second Coming of Christ Jesus. Our Father God’s Gospel Armor on and in place helps you have the Kingdom of God internally.

Let us end this Bible Study with Paul’s teaching concerning our Father God’s Gospel Armor. Ephesians 6:10 says, “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.” Our Father God said through the prophet Zechariah in Chapter 4:6, “Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.” Our Father God’s Spirit endows with strength, power and might to do His will and understand His ways [Matthew 28: 18 – 20]. Verse 11 says, “Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.” “Armour of God” means to be wholly armed, where the spiritual helps needed for overcoming the temptations of the devil are in place, which is the Word of Father God and can be called upon by the Spirit of God. This is especially true in the latter end of these end times when satan will disguise himself as the instead of jesus, as Verse 12 says, “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places].” Many people believe that the anti-christ or the instead of jesus is a flesh man that will be influenced by the evil spirit of satan, however this is an untruth since it will be satan himself in disguise, deceiving the world into believing his final role of this Flesh Age. Paul teaches that we will not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against spiritual wickedness cast down from the high place of the Heavens. Revelation 12:9 says, “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.” Paul further teaches concerning satan’s casting to the earth in II Corinthians 11:4 which says, “For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or [if] ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with [him].” Verse 14 says, “And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.” “Transformed” means, “to disguise oneself as another, or to assume another’s appearance”, and in this case satan will transform or disguise himself as the anti-christ or the instead of jesus. Ephesians 6:13 says, “Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.” “The evil day” is the day of satan’s deception that Christ Jesus has warned us against which is satan’s disguise as the instead of jesus. You can only stand against satan’s deception if you know what to expect and this is only accomplished by studying our Father God’s Word precept upon precept and line by line {Chapter by Chapter, Verse by Verse}. In doing so, you can call on the spiritual help of our Father God’s whole armour as Revelation 7:12 says, “Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, [be] unto our God for ever and ever. Amen Amen!!!

Mark 13:23 says, “But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things,”
Mark 13:37 says, “And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.”
