I CORINTHIANS - CHAPTER 1

Paul had taught in Corinth the "Gospel of Christ Jesus" during his ministry, which is the "Truth of Father God's Word." After Paul left Corinth, others came and taught either their version of Father's Word, or, truth was taught and the people did not understand it, therefore, there was much confusion occurring regarding the "True Gospel." As it was, so it is today as the Biblically illiterate pulpit gurus teach their version of the "True Gospel" with their doctrines and traditions, and as a result, those calling themselves christians, too lazy to study on their own, have a mind full of babble and confusion, with their many denominations and accepted false teachings. There is one "True Gospel" which are the teachings of Father God through "His Holy Word and Christ Jesus, our Living Word." Therefore, Paul has returned to Corinth once again to teach what "thus saith our LORD" and this is why in the next ten "Verses", Paul will present the name of our "Lord Jesus Christ" who is our "Living Word" so it is understood, without question, that Paul is teaching the very Word of Father God and not teaching his version of the truth.

I Corinthians 1:1 says, "Paul, called [to be] an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes [our] brother," "Paul" means "small or little." "Sosthenes" means "savior of his nation" and he was the chief ruler of the synagogue in Corinth [Acts 18:17] who taught according to the Truth of Father's Word. Paul, who always loved Father, was called to teach not of his own will [Acts - Chapter 26], rather through the will of Father God Almighty when he was struck down on the road to Damascus.

I Corinthians 1:2 says, "Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called [to be] saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:" "Jesus" means "YAHOVAH is salvation, the Son of God, the Savior of mankind, God incarnated." "Christ" means "Anointed One." "Lord" means "Master." "Corinth" means "satiated {satisfied}." "Sanctified" means "to separate from profane things and dedicate to God." "Saints" means the "very elect." Paul, through Christ Jesus our Living Word, is teaching to those "chosen {very elect} of our Father God", to hear with understanding truth by the blessing of the Holy Spirit, studying faithfully, receiving understanding only our LORD can give. Once that blessing of knowledge is sealed within the minds of the very elect, they are to continue to spread the "Good Gospel", planting "Seeds of Truth" for any with eyes to see and ears to hear to accept within their hearts and minds.

I Corinthians 1:3 says, "Grace [be] unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and [from] the Lord Jesus Christ." This is Paul's greeting as He acknowledges "Father God Almighty" in the "Precious Name of Christ Jesus." "Grace" means "unmerited favor; of the merciful kindness by which God, exerting his holy influence upon souls, turns them to Christ, keeps, strengthens, increases them in christian faith, knowledge, affection, and kindles them to the exercise of the christian virtues." It is through the "Blood of Christ Jesus" that mankind receives forgiveness of all sins when approaching the "Throne of Father God Almighty."

I Corinthians 1:4 says, "I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ;" All grace comes from Father God through Christ Jesus, and not because of, or, through the pulpit gurus.

I Corinthians 1:5 says, "That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and [in] all knowledge;" All knowledge comes from Father God through Christ Jesus, and understanding will certainly spiritually enhance your relationship with our LORD as you love Him and come to the knowledge of truth [Proverbs 1:7]. How anyone can live in this world today without Father God is a mystery. Pleasing our LORD is the only way to enrich your life, and in order to please Father, it is necessary to have knowledge of His Word, which is understanding the teachings of Christ Jesus wherein you are wealthy with spiritual wisdom. When you are under the veil of Father God, even when obstacles flood your road, our Lord Jesus Christ will lead you over, around and through them when you know to work hard, study faithfully and place your faith in our LORD who created you for His pleasure [Revelation 4:11]. Christ Jesus has given us power over all our enemies [Luke - Chapter 10], including satan, and this is why you should have the whole armor of Father God [Ephesians - Chapter 6] within your heart and mind.

I Corinthians 1:6 says, "Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:" If you love Father God and listen to the teachings of Christ Jesus, there are no mysteries within the Word of our LORD.

I Corinthians 1:7 says, "So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:" While waiting for the return of our Lord Jesus Christ as "King of kings and Lord of lords", there is work for those who have the seal of truth within their minds. Father God will lead you to know and understand what your gift is in the spreading of the "Good Gospel" until that Seventh Trumpet sounds and our Lord returns to claim his bride {very elect/elect of mankind}. It is necessary to understand that your gift, be it teaching, singing, a smile, should be used always to glorify Father God and you can only exalt Father to others if you personally have the Truth of His Word within your own heart and mind.

I Corinthians 1:8 says, "Who shall also confirm you unto the end, [that ye may be] blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ." "Confirm" means "make sure." When you are a witness against satan, the first/false christ cast to this earth for the greatest deception ever to be known to mankind, Christ Jesus will keep you from all hurt, harm and danger until His return. "Day of our Lord Jesus Christ" is the one thousand year teaching, which is the "Millennium [II Peter - Chapter 3]." If Father God calls you home to the Heavenly Age before the return of Christ Jesus, "absent from the body is present with our LORD [II Corinthians - Chapter 5].2 Corinthians - Chapter 5."

I Corinthians 1:9 says, "God [is] faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord." Father God said in Hebrews 13:5, "[Let your] conversation [be] without covetousness; [and be] content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee." Understand that Father's very elect are not volunteers, they are "called/ chosen [Ephesians - Chapter 1]" to be in the service of, planting seeds of truth for and through our Lord Jesus Christ.

I Corinthians 1:10 says, "Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and [that] there be no divisions among you; but [that] ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment." If the very elect do not teach Father's Word exactly as it is written, there will be division and confusion among christians. It is through false teachings of the Biblically illiterate that all the various denominations have formed. Babble and confusion breeds separation and with that split, doctrines and traditions become the prime teachings throughout the world in houses of "beth-aven", which means "house of vanity." Father God's Spirit is not in a "house of vanity", satan's spirit is. Father's Word has one meaning and is not up for individual interpretation. This is why "Father God said" to teach His Word, Chapter by Chapter and Verse by Verse, as Christ Jesus taught.

I Corinthians 1:11 says, "For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them [which are of the house] of Chloe, that there are contentions among you." "Chloe" means "a green herb/a christian woman {wisdom [Proverbs - Chapter 31]} of Corinth." "Contentions" means "strife, debate." In this "House of Bethel/Chloe", established by Paul, debates relating to the Word of Father God were brewing, which is not a good thing, and Paul was there to put a stop to it since there is only one True Word and that is "thus saith our LORD."

I Corinthians 1:12 says, "Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ." "Apollos" means "to put out of the way entirely, abolish, put an end to ruin {Biblical illiteracy}." "Cephas" means "stone {Peter}." This is how denominations are formed. In this one church, the congregation is split, some under Paul, some under Apollos or Cephas, and others under Christ Jesus. "All of the congregation" should be under the veil of the teachings of "Christ Jesus", since Paul, Apollos and Cephas are vessels of Father God to spread the "Good Gospel", which is planting seeds of truth by teaching "Christ Jesus, our Living Word." You are not a christian if you are following or committing to a denomination of a pulpit guru establishing "their church" with "their doctrines and traditions." Worship Father God and Christ Jesus "only."

I Corinthians 1:13 says, "Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul? " Christ Jesus is not division or denominations. Was it Paul who stretched out his arms on that cross at Calvary? I think not. For it was our Lord Jesus Christ, and He only who stretched our His arms on that cross for all of humankind, our "Perfect Sacrifice, Father God Himself personified in the Flesh." All who are baptized are christened in the "Name of Christ Jesus by the presence of His Holy Spirit."

I Corinthians 1:14 says, "I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius;" "Crispus" means "curled." "Gaius" means "lord." Both of these men were true teachers of Father God's Word. Paul is saying that he baptized these two men only and he is thankful to Father God for blessing his spirit to be under Father's will since the people are all confused, following man when they should be following Christ Jesus.

I Corinthians 1:15 says, "Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name." Paul is happy that he did not baptize those following after him, Apollos or Cephas in their ignorance since these people cannot say they are following Paul because they were baptized in is name. This is the harm caused by division with denominations since they replace Father God and Christ Jesus with the doctrines and traditions of pulpit gurus who were not even chosen of our LORD.

I Corinthians 1:16 says, "And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other." "Steohanas" means "crowned." Paul is naming those he knows he baptized, and they are following the Word of Father God Almighty. Paul is saying he is not sure of others he may have baptized, nonetheless, not at any time did he claim to or baptize anyone in his own name. Paul baptized in the "Name of Christ Jesus only."

I Corinthians 1:17 says, "For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect." Paul is saying Christ Jesus did not lay a path for him to baptize anyone or to display his fantastic ability to be a great speaker, demonstrating he is an exceptional presenter of words meaning nothing . Paul was sent forth by Christ Jesus to plant seeds of truth for all those with ears to hear and eyes to see of what "thus saith our LORD", and accept those teachings with understanding. Paul is letting the people know, and those of this generation had best clearly hear since their own pulpits gurus are speaking and teaching eloquent nothingness, that he may be on the bold and even crude side when teaching, however you can rest assured, that which comes from his mouth is by the unction of the Holy Spirit and not of his own doctrines and traditions, so that your eyes and ears can be opened to "Truth" and the "Salvation offered from Christ Jesus" is accepted with a pure and understanding heart.

I Corinthians 1:18 says, "For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God." Mankind is saved by our "Lord Jesus Christ on that Cross at Calvary" since He defeated death, who is satan, and you have those people who are offended by the cross and even our Lord Jesus Christ Himself. There are people who do not even want to hear the teachings of the sacrifice our Lord Jesus Christ made for all of humankind since it is offensive. Too bad; have a nice trip straight into the arms of satan as the instead of jesus and risk your soul to be blotted right out with that son of perditon. We are thankful to our Father God Almighty for all those who magnify Him from the depths of their hearts and souls for "His Beloved Son and the Cross." Without that "Perfect Offering of Love", there would be no repentance for our sins at the "Throne of Father God Almighty." We are thankful for the "Power of God" who promised never to leave or forsake His children, for being Faithful and True, for opening up His arms to all who will come unto our LORD for that freedom that is in "Christ Jesus."

I Corinthians 1:19 says, "For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent." "It is written" in "Isaiah 29:14 which says, "Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, [even] a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise [men] shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent [men] shall be hid." Wisdom of the world shall perish as many shall wander in darkness, babble and confusion.

I Corinthians 1:20 says, " Where [is] the wise? where [is] the scribe? where [is] the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?" Do you know the truth when it is being taught. Are you listing to a christian, who is one walking a Christ-like path, which means they are of the very elect. The "disputer" is 'satan" who is now caged in Heaven, however his spirit roams this earth. Common sense is not flourishing throughout the world since this attribute comes with wisdom of Father's Word. Going to church and saying you love Father God does not mean you have a heart and mind full of wisdom since most calling themselves christians are listening to what their pulpit gurus are saying and writing in their books and not studying the True Word of Father God, as it is written, Chapter by Chapter and Verse by Verse, through our Lord Jesus Christ, seeking understanding only pray will bring you through Father God Almighty.

I Corinthians 1:21 says, "For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe." For those who consider themselves wise in the ways of the world, condemning the very elect who teach according to the Word of Father God, Chapter by Chapter and Verse by Verse, dispelling for example their fly away, any moment, rapture doctrines, they do all within their power to belittle Father's true teachers. Our LORD, knowing the ignorance of pulpit gurus and those claiming christianity, will see to it that His very elect continue teaching His Truths so that those who come unto Him as little children, seeking understanding, will hear "thus saith our LORD", so that their eyes may be opened and their ears may hear with understanding the True Word of our Father, and this is pleasing in the sight of Almighty God.

I Corinthians 1:22says, "For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:" Those calling themselves christians [kenites] and those lost [so-called christians] in the ways of the world, seek "a sign" of worldly things and not those matters relating to Father God. Christ Jesus was asked to show a sign in Matthew - Chapter 12 {Verse 38} and our Lord surely provided the answer.

I Corinthians 1:23 says, "But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;" It is necessary, in order to know who the enemy of Father God is, to understood who crucified Christ Jesus on Passover Day. It was the kenites, who are the offspring of satan, through Cain, his son. It was the kenites who judged our Lord Jesus Christ to death in their disguise as chief priests [Pharisees and Sadducees] and were also within the crowd of people as they hollered out, "crucify him [Mark - Chapter 15]." Father God's Word came to be exactly as it is written in "Genesis - Chapter 3 {Verse 15}." Never forget on that cross however, Christ Jesus defeated death, who is satan, and when you have the seal of truth within your mind, which is Father God's Word, death, satan, has no choice but to pass over you {Passover} since he has no power over you. Christ Jesus has given all those who understand His Truths, power over all enemies, including satan [Luke 10:19].

I Corinthians 1:24 says, "But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God." "Called" are the "very elect" throughout the whole earth who have eyes to see and ears to hear what "thus saith our LORD", with understanding

I Corinthians 1:25 says, "Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men." The Biblically illiterate call Father's Word foolishness, even childish, because they have no understanding and believe myths such as the any moment, fly away, rapture lies.

I Corinthians 1:26 says, "For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, [are called]:" Father does not call on the pulpit play-actors, the rich and famous, rather, our LORD chooses those He can work with such as the disciples who were common laborers for the most part. Father calls on His children who have time for Him and not those furred with the luxuries of life since most of their time would be spent with showboating from their pulpits to keep money flowing into their pockets to continue living the life they have become accustomed to.

I Corinthians 1:27 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;" Father has no use for those calling themselves christians who are chained and bound to the foolish things of this world as they play church, lacking character. Our LORD depends on His very elect, though small in number, knowing they shall stand against the fiery darts of satan when he is cast to this earth as the first/false christ, along with his fallen angels as they join forces with the kenites who exist throughout the whole earth. The shield of protection for the very elect will be the gospel armor, which is made up of the knowledge of Father's Word.

I Corinthians 1:28 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:" "Base things" means "small things." When satan is cast to this earth deceiving most of the world into believing he is our True Christ here to rapture them away, along with the fallen angels appearing as angels of light, when they are not, the very elect will stand against them as the Holy Spirit of Father God leads, guides and directs their path according to His good will. Although satan is supernatural and will perform all kinds of wondrous acts, the very elect will overpower satan, showing him for the vile creature he is, through our Lord Jesus Christ.

I Corinthians 1:29 says, "That no flesh should glory in his presence." The very elect know and understand that the acts accomplished as they "stand and teach" the True Gospel is not by their doing, not for their boasting since it is for and by the "Hand of Father God Almighty Himself." What makes the very elect feel that special spiritual relationship with Father God and Christ Jesus is the fact they are found worthy to do the will of our Father.

I Corinthians 1:30 says, "But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption " When Father God is within your heart and mind through our Living Word, Christ Jesus, it is magnificent, not foolish, in that there is redemption for all sins caused through and because of the flesh, when you repent from a pure heart. You can, through faithful study, walk a Christ-like path, studying to show yourself approved, seeking, asking and knocking for that increase of understanding only Father God can give. It is far more profitable to seek the wisdom of Father God {eternal} than to be a part of the foolishness of this world [temporary].

I Corinthians 1:31 says, "That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord." Jeremiah 9:23 & 24 says, "Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise [man] glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty [man] glory in his might, let not the rich [man] glory in his riches:" " But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I [am] the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these [things] I delight, saith the LORD." Father God created all of humankind for His pleasure [Revelation 4:11] and what greater pleasure to our Father than for His children to seek Him with love, respect, praise and glorification by the faithful study of His Word wherein you come to know what Father expects of you wherein you are redeemed from this miserable world to spend eternity with our "YAHOVAH, Father God Almighty and Yeshua, Christ Jesus."

PRAISES TO FATHER GOD

Psalms 47:6 says, “Sing praises to God, sing praises: sing praises unto our King, sing praises.” Praises is a major part of most congregations today, and comes in many expressions. Rapping, musical instruments, singing, praise dancing, are all supposedly an uplifting to our Father God. “Praise” in the Hebrew is “zamar {zaw-mar'}”, which means, “to sing and make music, and perhaps identical with the idea of striking with the fingers, meaning to trim, prune.” Christ Jesus teaches us that our "Father God is the Husbandman" or He who prunes [John 15:1]. “Husbandman” is derived from the Greek word “ergon {er'-gon}”, which means, “an act, deed, thing done: the idea of working.” Rapping, musical instruments, singing, praise dancing are all deeds or acts of praising our Father, however is less than the work our Father God is expecting from His children.

Psalms 103:7 says, “He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel. Psalms 47:7 says, “For God [is] the King of all the earth: sing ye praises with understanding. “Ways is derek {deh'-rek}” in the Hebrew, meaning, “to cause to go, lead, march, tread.” The “way” is what leads us through our journey or course of life, meaning, ”Christ Jesus is the Way”, the Word of our Father God made flesh, the glory as of the Only Begotten of our Father, full of grace and truth [John 1:14]. “Acts” is “`aliylah {al-ee-law'} or `alilah {al-ee-law'}” in the Hebrew, meaning, “a practice of doing something” such as rapping for Father God, praise dancing for Father God, singing and playing instruments for Father God, even wantonness. “Deeds” are those things done in a bad sense, such as, “they perverted all their doings, they acted perversely or wickedly.” Therefore, we can surmise that “act” is actually playacting, or one who is a hypocrite. “Understanding” is “sakal {saw-kal'}” in the Hebrew, meaning, “to look at, to attend or turn the mind unto. To have insight, have comprehension, wisdom and prudence, to prosper, have success. To have skill, teach or instruct.”

When you praise our Father God with understanding, He will make known His ways as opposed to His acts unto you as our Father God made known unto Moses. Our Father said of Moses in Deuteronomy 34:10, “And there arose not a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face,” Verse 11 says, “In all the signs and the wonders, which the LORD sent him to do in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land,” Verse 12 says, “And in all that mighty hand, and in all the great terror which Moses shewed in the sight of all Israel.” When you praise our Father God by seeking to understand His ways, like Moses, you will be the instrument our Father God uses to make known His acts as opposed to being one who observes those acts. Paul teaches that we are to walk by faith, and not by sight [II Corinthians 5:7]. Therefore, understanding our Father God’s ways requires faith, while observing His acts requires only see, feel and touch, “which Moses shewed in the sight of all Israel.” Paul further teaches us that without faith it is impossible to please our Father God [Hebrews 11:6]. “Wherefore, let us labor by faith to know our Father God’s ways, and not to behold His acts, that we may be accepted of Him.” Once again, we know through the teachings of Paul that faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of our Father God [Romans 10:17]. Therefore, our Father God’s ways are realized by understanding His Word. Praise ye the LORD! Matthew 17:5 says, “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.”

Yours In Christ,
I Bid You Peace

REMEMBER NOW THY CREATOR, FATHER GOD

IN THE DAYS OF THY YOUTH

Many times, far too many times, people are elated when young people are involved in the church, exclaiming how much they love our Father God and Lord Jesus Christ because they are strumming a guitar or beating on a set of drums. Why should young people not serve our LORD, and why should it be any big surprise when they remember our Creator in the days of their youth? People are so impressed with this flesh, and it is not about these flesh bodies or any of humankind individually, however collectively.

Psalms 100:1 says, "[[A Psalm of praise.]] Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands." This "Verse" proclaims that all lands praise our Father God with a joyful noise and there is no mention about whether you are old or young, rather all, inclusive of everyone that are a part of the whole earth; from North to South, and East to West. Therefore, young and old, male and female, should remember now thy "CREATOR." "Remember" is the Hebrew word "zakar (zä•kar'), a prime root meaning recall, call to mind, to mention, to record, to make a memorial, be mindful of, reminisce, mediate upon, consider; often with the added idea of care, to care for someone." I Peter 5:7 says, "Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you." Again, no mention of one’s age or gender.

We all remember the teaching of David and Goliath. David was a young man that showed his love for our LORD by doing precisely what this "Verse" declares; "making a joyful noise." David declared unto the giant Goliath in I Samuel 17:45 - 48 which says, "Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts," "This day with the LORD deliver thee into mind hands; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel." "And all this assembly shall know that the LORD saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle [is] the LORD'S, and he will give you into our hands". Our Father God will use for His good pleasure and service whomsoever He will, young or old, to fulfil His Plan of Salvation. “Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger." "O LORD our Lord, how excellent [is] thy name in all the earth! [Psalms 8:2, 9]."

Moreover, Josiah was eight years old when he reigned as king in Jerusalem. II Chronicles 34:3 says, "For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was yet young, he began to seek after the God of David his father. "Seek" is the Hebrew word "darash (dä•rash'), meaning to practice, study, follow, seek with application, to resort to, frequent (a place), (tread a place); to go to with prayers, to implore aid; farther, the signification of “going to” is applied to that of inquiring, demanding; also, of caring for." consequently, to search after. James 4:8 says, "Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse [your] hands, [ye] sinners; and purify [your] hearts, [ye] double minded."

Psalms 100:2 says, "Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing." There was another king of Jerusalem even younger than eight years old. II Kings11:21 says, "Seven years old [was] Jehoash when he began to reign." The Word of Father God further tell us that Jehoash did what was right in the sight of our LORD. Seven year old and eight year old kings of lands, serving our LORD with gladness, and making medley within their hearts with a joyful noise. There are choices to be made in life and whether you are old or young, our Father God bids us, one and all, to love thy LORD our God, obey His voice and cleave unto Him. "Cleave" is the Hebrew word "dabaq (dä•bak'), meaning to adhere, specially firmly, as if with glue, to be glued." Therefore, "to be attached to anyone, to be lovingly devoted; to follow hard." Deuteronomy 13:4 says, "Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear {love} him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him.

Psalms 100:3 says, "Know ye that the LORD he [is] God: [it is] he [that] hath made us, and not we ourselves; [we are] his people, and the sheep of his pasture." We are all, young and old, male and female, created by Father God for His pleasure, meaning we are all to please Father in all matters of life. "Know" is the Hebrew word "yada` (yä•dah'), meaning learn to know, to know by experience, to be acquainted, which includes the action of commencing, and as completed." Our Father God is Jesus Incarnate, the Word of Almighty God, the "Alpha and Omega", the "First and the Last" and the "Beginning and the Ending." We all, young and old, male and female, should be acquainted with our Father God, from the "Book of Genesis through to the Book of Revelation."

Psalms 100:4 says, "Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, [and] into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, [and] bless his name." From the rising to the setting of the sun all of Father God’s creation should stand in awe of Him and worship, confess and commune with Him, daily. "Bless" is the Hebrew word "barak (bä•rak'), meaning to adore Father God, which is done with bended knees and a reverential mind." "Bless" also means to "pronounce someone happy" and our "Father God is made happy or pleased when we show reverence and love for Him, day by day."

Psalms 100:5 says, "For the LORD [is] good; his mercy [is] everlasting; and his truth [endureth] to all generations." To "all generations", from umbilical cord to umbilical cord. From one generation to the next, all of Father God’s creation, His people and the sheep of His pasture, can count on Father God’s truth. Truth is faithfulness. Jeremiah teaches in Lamentations 3:22 & 23, "[It is of] the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not." "[They are] new every morning: great [is] thy faithfulness." Father God’s faithfulness, His truth is great, and His mercies and compassions are new everyday, and to all generations. We can have hope, young and old, whenever we recall this to mind. David teaches in Psalms 33:4, "For the word of the LORD [is] right; and all his works [are done] in truth." "Truth and Faithfulness" are both the same Hebrew root word, "aman (ä•man'), meaning to prop, to stay, to support, to sustain. Specially, to support with the arm, to carry a child; one who carries and cares for a child; also, one who guards and brings up, nourishes. Hence, to be firm, unshaken, such as one may safely lean on; to confide on anyone, trust, to be secure, to bear in the arms." Moses teaches in Deuteronomy 33:27, "The eternal God [is thy] refuge, and underneath [are] the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy [them]."

"Remember now thy Creator, Father God, in the days of thy youth.” Ecclesiastes 12:1 says, "Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them;" "Evil" is the Hebrew word "ra` (rah), meaning disagreeable, unpleasant, giving pain, unhappiness, misery." The young become old, and life is not what it once was. Growing old means aches and pains, and many days are not as pleasure as we become elderly. That is why we all should reminisce, and mediate upon our Creator, our Father God while we are youthful, vibrant and vivacious. David teaches in Psalms 22:10 "I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou [art] my God from my mother's belly."

David’s "Psalm" should bring to remembrance that of Jacob and Esau and Moses’ teaching concerning them. Moses teaches in Genesis 25:22 "And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If [it be] so, why [am] I thus? And she went to enquire of the LORD. " Genesis 25:26 saying, "And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold on Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac [was] threescore years old when she bare them." The prophet Hosea explains what occurred between Jacob and Esau as Hosea 12:3 says, He took his brother by the heel in the womb, and by his strength he had power with God:" Therefore, even from the womb, every soul has the choice of following our Father God’s Spirit, or succumbing to the ways of the world. Christ Jesus said in John 3:5 & 6, "Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and [of] the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God." "That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit."

Ecclesiastes 12:2 says, "While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, be not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain:" "Darkened" is the Hebrew word "chashak (khä•shak'), meaning grow dim, be hidden, conceal, confuse." As we grow elderly we may suffer confusion, namely dementia or Alzheimer’s, and may not be able to receive and meditate upon the Word of our Father God the way we can in the days of our youth. Almighty God’s Word instructs us in Proverbs 22:6 which says, "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it."

Ecclesiastes 12:3 says, "In the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of the windows be darkened," As we grow older our bones become brittle and deteriorate, and our backs may bend, signifying our elderly condition. Some older people’s hands shake and their teeth become fewer in number; all a part of growing older. Many elderly people enjoy looking out of their windows, howbeit their eyes grow dimmer and they cannot see as well as when they were younger. "Keepers" is the Hebrew word "shamar (shä•mar'), meaning specially to keep in mind and memory; to observe, to tend to anything." As we grow older our memories do not retain everything we have learned along our journey. Many older people will say, ‘I have forgotten more than some will ever learn’. "Keeper" also means "Shepherd" and we know we have a Shepherd, "Christ Jesus, our Lord and Savior." Christ Jesus said in John 10:14, "I am the good shepherd, and know my [sheep], and am known of mine." "House" is the Hebrew word "bayith (bah'•yith), meaning figuratively, the human body." Paul teaches in II Corinthians 5:1, "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."

Ecclesiastes 12:4 says, "And the doors shall be shut in the streets, when the sound of the grinding is low, and he shall rise up at the voice of the bird, and all the daughters of musick shall be brought low;" As we grow older our teeth and our hearing are diminished. The doors or our lips remain closed so as not to expose our gums and missing teeth when out in public or in the streets. Very often the sound of chewing is the only echo in the ears of the elderly, silencing all other outside noises. Sleep is difficult for the elderly and hearing the little girls playing and singing becomes burdensome as well. We have all heard the expression, "the old gray mare just ain’t what it used to be." The Psalmist David teaches us from a prayer of Moses in Psalms 90:12. "So teach [us] to number our days, that we may apply [our] hearts unto wisdom."

Ecclesiastes 12:5 says, "Also [when] they shall be afraid of [that which is] high, and fears [shall be] in the way, and the almond tree shall flourish, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail: because man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets:" "Almond tree shall flourish" is referring to the whiteness of the hair as you become older. The elderly also are apprehensive of heights and fear falling, and many of the flesh desires subside or languish as you get on in years. Even the weight of something as small as a grasshopper seems hard to grasp with arthritic hands. "Long home" is the grave of the flesh body since from the dust each of us were taken, and to the dust our flesh bodies will return. Once we are through with these flesh bodies, we will never, ever have any use for them again. "The mourners" are the loved ones left behind in the flesh while the one returning to our LORD will be out of sight for a precious moment. Christ Jesus said in John 11:25 & 26, "Jesus said unto her,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. Believest thou this?"

Ecclesiastes 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." This is the point at which the flesh body is separated from the spiritual or inner body. Paul teaches that the flesh body is corruptible, while the spirit is incorruptible, meaning the flesh body will die, however the spiritual body cannot unless Father God blots out the soul of the entity. Christ Jesus said in John 6:63, "It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, [they] are spirit, and [they] are life."

Ecclesiastes 12:7 says, "Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it." Genesis 2:7 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." "Soul" means "yourself." All people are an individual in of themselves, having their own DNA and fingerprints. "The breath of Life” is "the Spirit of Father God", who imparts life, wisdom and inspiration. James 2:26 says, "For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also."

Ecclesiastes 12:8 says, "Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher; all [is] vanity." Our lives are empty without Father God. Many people do not realize that life is not really worth living without the One who loves us all so very much. We exist only in the flesh as a test of our faithfulness and commitment to our Father God. No matter what anyone accomplishes in the flesh, it means absolutely nothing without the expression of loyalty and love towards our LORD. John teaches in Revelation 14:13, "And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed [are] the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them." Revelation 19:8 says, "And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints." Our works for our LORD, or righteous acts, are all that will accompany us into the kingdom of our Father God.

Ecclesiastes 12:9 says, "And moreover, because the preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yea, he gave good heed, and sought out, [and] set in order many proverbs." The preacher is Solomon, and our witness is the first "Chapter and Verse" of this great oracle of our Father God, which reads, Ecclesiastes 1:1 says, "The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem. " Solomon was David’s son and king in Jerusalem. The "Scriptures" teach us that Father God made Solomon the wisest of all kings before and after him. I Kings 3:12 says, "Behold, I have done according to thy words: lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there was none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee."

Ecclesiastes 12:10 says, "The preacher sought to find out acceptable words: and [that which was] written [was] upright, [even] words of truth." Our Father God’s written words are the only words of truth, and Solomon studied to show himself approved and acceptable before Father God. "Sought" is the Hebrew word "baqash (bä•kash'), and one of its meanings is to beg, to seek to anything, to seek from anyone, to interrogate." "Acceptable" is the Hebrew word "chephets (khā'•fets), meaning words of delight, pleasure, desire, longing." The "Scriptures" in Proverbs 16:23 & 24 says, "The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lips." "Pleasant words [are as] an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones."

Ecclesiastes 12:11 says, "The words of the wise [are] as goads, and as nails fastened [by] the masters of assemblies, [which] are given from one shepherd." Christ Jesus is that One Shepherd, the only Shepherd, the Good Shepherd. Ezekiel teaches in Ezekiel 34:23, "And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, [even] my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd. A "goad", metaphorically, "is discipline, keeping the people, the sheep of Father God’s pasture, treading the right path and following after the One Shepherd, the Good Shepherd, Christ Jesus, our Lord and Savior." In Ezekiel’s teaching, "feed and shepherd" are both the same Hebrew word "ra`ah (rä•ä'), meaning figuratively, ruler, teacher; to be a special friend." Christ Jesus said in John 15:14, "Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you."

Ecclesiastes 12:12 says, "And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books [there is] no end; and much study [is] a weariness of the flesh." There is only one "Book" that each of us should weary ourselves with studying, and that is the "Word of our Father God Almighty, the Holy Bible." Isaiah teaches in Isaiah 34:16, Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and read: no one of these shall fail, none shall want her mate: for my mouth it hath commanded, and his spirit it hath gathered them."

Ecclesiastes 12:13 says, "Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this [is] the whole [duty] of man." "The whole duty of man" means "to a complete degree or to the full or entire extent; including all components without exception." That is, to fear Father God and keep His Commandments. "Fear" is "yare' (yä•rā'), meaning to stand in awe of, honor, respect; admire God because He is wonderful; love." "Keep" is "shamar (shä•mar'), meaning a watchmen; specially to keep in mind and memory; to watch narrowly; to lie in wait for." "The conclusion of the matter", even all that hath been heard is to "Fear {love} and Keep {Father's Commandments}.". Psalms 111:10 says, "The fear of the LORD [is] the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do [his commandments]: his praise endureth for ever."

Ecclesiastes 12:14 says, "For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether [it be] good, or whether [it be] evil." Proverbs 20:11 teaches, "Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work [be] pure, and whether [it be] right." There is nothing hidden from the eyes of our LORD who created us, one and all, for His pleasure and delight." Psalms 94:9 says, "He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see?" Therefore, do not be deceived. Our Father God is not mocked since whatsoever each of us have sown, the same shall we also reap.

Lamentations 3:27 says, "[It is] good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth." "Yoke", figuratively speaks of "servitude; to drink again, and again, to drink deep, in order to quench thirst fully; to perform a work, to accomplish; to complete, to do a deed." Proverbs 7:1 - 4 says, "My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee." "Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye." "Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart." "Say unto wisdom, Thou [art] my sister; and call understanding [thy] kinswoman:" "Son" is "ben (bān), meaning children (pl. – male and female), youth." Solomon says in I Kings 3:7, ”And now, O LORD my God, thou hast made thy servant king instead of David my father: and I [am but] a little child: I know not [how] to go out or come in." Solomon requested that our Father God give him an understanding heart to discern between good and evil. "Little" is "qatan (kä•tän’), meaning young, insignificant, unimportant." "Child" is "na`ar (nah’•ar), meaning youth, servant." "Discern" is "biyn (bene), meaning understand, consider, know (with the mind), to show oneself discerning or attentive, consider diligently." "Discern" is exactly what Solomon proclaims when he admonished, “Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth.”

I Kings 3:10 says, "And the speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing." Paul teaches in Romans 15:4, "For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the "Scriptures" might have hope."

Christ Jesus taught that the flesh profits us nothing. I Corinthians 15:50 says, "Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption" Our "Father God's Self is Spiritual" and we must worship Him in spirit and in truth. Our flesh can never have intimate contact with our Creator. Therefore, it matters very little to our Father God how old our flesh body is, because it is our spiritual, or inner man that communes with our Creator. Paul also teaches in I Corinthians 2:14, "But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know [them], because they are spiritually discerned." All of mankind are born into the flesh, however we must live according to the spiritual, or inner man. As Solomon teaches in Ecclesiastes - Chapter 12, we must diligently seek our Creator while we are young; before old age sets in, and living in the flesh is not as easy, pleasurable, nor profitable, to either our Father God or ourselves. “Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, for the Father seeketh such to worship Him.”

FATHER GOD SAID NOT TO BE:

SOTTISH

The word “sottish” appears only once in the Word of our Father God and while it means “to be a fool or act foolishly, to be vain”, more to the point its meaning is “to [be stupid] enough to participate in foolish acts against our Father God.” Sottish just happens to appear in "Jeremiah - Chapter 4", the place where our Father God teaches us what happened to the age of the dinosaurs, the Spiritual/First Earth Age. The First Age is the Age where satan rebelled against our Father God and one-third of our Father’s children were sottish enough to follow after his folly. Let us turn unto our Father’s Word of Truth for more enlightenment. For the sake of time this topical will embrace those "Verses" that coincide with the nature of the study, which is to be sottish, both then and now.

Jeremiah 4:16 says, “Make ye mention to the nations; behold, publish against Jerusalem, that watchers come from a far country, and give out their voice against the cities of Judah.” There are watchman and watchers, one positive to the plan of our Father God, and the other negative. The watchman blow the Trumpet and warn the people of the earth against the watchers, who are satan’s band of fallen angels who participate in all of his wickedness against our Father God and His children. Paul warns us about these watchers, the fallen angels of "Genesis - Chapter 6" when he teaches in I Corinthians 11:9 which says, “Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.” Verse 10 says, “For this cause ought the woman to have power on [her] head because of the angels.” Christ Jesus also taught us concerning the events that will precede His Second Coming in Luke 17:26 which says, “And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.” Verse 27 says, “They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.” Jude 1:6 teaches, "And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left the own habitation {Heaven}, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day." The fallen angels left heaven, not born through woman, coming to the earth where they married and produced offspring with the flesh women of Noah’s day, and this was the reason for "Noah's flood." These watchers will be cast to this earth once again with their false christ, satan, at our Father God’s appointed time [Revelation – Chapter 12].

Jeremiah 4:17 says, “As keepers of a field, are they against her round about; because she hath been rebellious against me, saith the LORD.” Rebellion against our Father God is what caused the destruction of the First or Former Earth Age, or the time when dinosaurs roamed the earth. Christ Jesus teaches us of the times Jeremiah refers to in this "Verse" in Luke 19:43 which says, “For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side,” Verse 44 says, “And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.” The vile one, satan, and his watchers [fallen angels] will inhabit the "Jerusalem Throne", and this event precedes the time of Jesus’ Second Visitation upon this earth, causing the total destruction of the earthly Jerusalem Temple [II Thessalonians – Chapter 2].

Jeremiah 4:18 says, “Thy way and thy doings have procured these things unto thee; this is thy wickedness, because it is bitter, because it reacheth unto thine heart.” Christ Jesus has taught us the Seven Events that bring this Flesh or Second Earth Age to an end, however most church attendees do not have the slightest clue. One of the events is satan’s role as the false/first christ to be cast to this earth and inhabit the Jerusalem Temple with his fallen angels, the watchers. Our Lord said in John 8:31, “If ye continue in my word, [then] are ye my disciples indeed;” Verse 32 says, “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” The truth hearers will not be guilty of procuring satan and the watcher’s wickedness of rebellion unto themselves. “Procure” in the Hebrew means, “the works committed or performed, labor as in bearing fruit”, however this "Verse" states that the works are works of bitter wickedness and from the heart. Christ Jesus also said in Matthew 15:7 - 9, “[Ye] hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,” “This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with [their] lips; but their heart is far from me.” “But in vain they do worship me, teaching [for] doctrines the commandments of men.” Our Father God’s Word must be studied Chapter by Chapter and Verse by Verse daily, and by, and for yourself.

Jeremiah 4:19 says, "My bowels, my bowels! I am pained at my very heart; my heart maketh a noise in me; I cannot hold my peace, because thou hast heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war." Jeremiah is saying that his heart, his deepest feelings are in much grief and despair because of what our Father God has revealed unto him. Father God is expressing His very emotions at the rebellion His children procure against Him because of the wickedness of their own hearts taught by their traditions and doctrines, which are contrary to the truth of our Father God’s Word. Traditions such as the flyaway, any moment or rapture theory, which our Father expressly speaks out against as taught by the prophet Ezekiel. 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." We are entangled in a spiritual warfare between our Father God and satan, and we know our Father has already won the war, however there are consequences to bear if you do not know the time of Jesus’ Second Appearing unto this earth. Paul teaches us that we must put on the whole armor of God that we may be able to stand against the flyaway, any moment or rapture theory, and "stand."

Jeremiah 4:20 says, “Destruction upon destruction is cried; for the whole land is spoiled: suddenly are my tents spoiled, and my curtains in a moment.” The land our Father God is speaking about through His servant Jeremiah is Jerusalem, our Father God’s most favorite place in the world [Ezekiel – Chapter 16]. The destruction that will spoil the land is the destroyer satan in his disguise as the instead of jesus and we have been forewarned of the destroyer and the deceiver in II Thessalonians 2:3 which 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;” 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.” Just as satan rebelled against our Father God in the Former or First Earth Age, he will be cast to this earth again to perpetuate his fraud once more, and then the end of this Flesh or Second Earth Age ushers in the appearing of our "King of kings and Lord of lords", Christ Jesus at the Seventh Trump. Paul bids us in Ephesians 6:14, “Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness.”

Jeremiah 4:21 says, “How long shall I see the standard, and hear the sound of the trumpet? The vile one's [satan] reign of rebellion and abomination in the Jerusalem Temple has been shortened for those who know the truth concerning his deception as the instead of jesus with his message of flyaway. Christ Jesus said in Matthew 24:22, “And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.” Our Father God is so very good to His children and has even revealed to us how long satan’s days of deception will be shortened to. Revelation 9:5 says, “And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment [was] as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.” Verse 10 says, “And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power [was] to hurt men five months.” For those who know the truth, our "Standard is our True Bridegroom, Christ Jesus." His very elect will continue to sound the war Trumpet to let the world know that satan is not our lord and king, rather the false christ that our Lord forewarned us would be cast to this earth before His Second Visitation [Matthew 24:23 – 25].

Jeremiah 4:22 says, “For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are 'sottish' children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.” This is the only place in our Father God’s Word where our LORD refers to His children as sottish. “Sottish” is the Hebrew word “cakal {saw-kawl'} from cakal {saw-kal'} from kacal {kaw-sal'}”, meaning, “to be played for a fool, to play or act foolishly, to be stupid.” Our Father God teaches us through the prophet in Hosea 4:6 which says, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.” A strong Word [teaching] from Almighty God who is putting us in remembrance of the destruction of the Former or First Earth Age because of stupidity and rebellion against Him. Our Father God has forewarned us of the Seven Events that will bring this Flesh Age to a close, however people, especially the church attendees, would rather spend their time steeped in foolish traditions and ideologies rather than a Chapter by Chapter and Verse by Verse study of our Father God’s Word of Truth. Christ Jesus said in Matthew 18:3, “Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.” Our Lord said to Peter in Luke 22:31, “Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired [to have] you, that he may sift [you] as wheat:” “Sift” means figuratively, “by inward agitation to try one's faith to the verge of overthrow.” Just as our Lord prayed that Peter’s faith would not fail, so our Lord prays for us also. Then, at our conversion, we can strengthen our brothers and sisters.

Jeremiah 4:23 says, “I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light. Our Father teaches us as Genesis 1:1 & 2 says, "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." "And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness [was] upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters." Our Father explains further through the prophet Isaiah, Isaiah 45:18 saying, "For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I [am] the LORD; and [there is] none else." Our Father is revealing to us that He created the earth to be inhabited, not void and without habitation, rather that it became that way. Why did the earth our Father God created for His pleasure [Revelation 4:11] become void, without form and without inhabitant? Our Father said "because His children are "sottish" children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge." These sottish children rebelled against our Father God in the Former/Spiritual, the First Earth Age, and instead of abiding faithfully to our Father God, the Light of the world, followed after the darkness satan. Our LORD was angry and hurt, and rather than destroying His children, He destroyed the Age instead. This is the reason we are born from above [John Chapter - 3] and have entered into this Flesh or Second Earth Age clothed in temporary flesh bodies [Deuteronomy - Chapter 30].

Jeremiah 4:24 says, “I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly." Our Father God’s anger at his sottish children caused Him to shake the earth from its very foundations. Dinosaurs and other large mammals once roamed the earth, however are now extinct. Their remains can be found in parts of the Antarctic with buttercups in their mouths, which proves that Father God’s anger was so intense that even the cold climates that are now a part of this Flesh or Second Earth Age were warm climates in the Spiritual or First Earth Age [Psalms - Chapter 104].

Jeremiah 4:25 says, “I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled." Many people are confused by this destruction implying that this is the destruction caused by the flood of Noah’s day. This is not Noah’s flood because in this "verse" our Father God states there was no man and no birds. In Noah’s flood, Noah and his family were spared along with two of every flesh, of both mankind and of the lower animal kingdoms. Even satan’s offspring, the sons of Cain, the kenites survived Noah’s flood [Genesis - Chapter 6]. Peter also teaches of the First Earth Age and the Second Earth Age in II Peter - Chapter 3 where he states in 'Verses 5 through 7', "For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:" "Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:" "But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men." Only the sottish cannot understand Peter’s instruction concerning the Ages in this teaching.

Jeremiah 4:26 says, “I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, and by his fierce anger." The For or First Earth Age even had cities much like this Flesh or Second Earth Age. Ancient ruins have revealed that this earth is millions, even billions of years old, as well as the findings of dinosaurs and other mammal remains. There is even a footprint that dates back millions of years ago much like the footprint of mankind today with the exception that flesh is only akin to this Age we now live in, however in the Spiritual or First Earth Age, mankind were spiritual beings. Genesis 6:3 says, "And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also [is] flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years." Our Father God reveals to us in the recreation of this Flesh or Second Earth Age that mankind is also flesh like the lower animals were in the Former or First Earth Age. This is the reason animal remains can be unearthed today, however mankind’s remains cannot, we were spiritual beings in the Former Age, which we shall return to at the Seventh Trump when our "True Vine and Bridegroom Christ Jesus" returns the second time to this earth. Those with eyes to see and ears to hear and who withstand satan’s disguise as the instead of jesus will have incorruptible or eternal bodies with deathless souls {immortal}. Those deceived by satan as the first/false christ will have eternal bodies with souls still liable to die [mortal], and shall receive wisdom, knowledge, instruction and discipline during Christ Jesus’ Millennial Kingdom teaching upon the earth [I Corinthians 15:38 - 58, Revelation - Chapter 20].

Jeremiah 4:27 says, “For thus hath the LORD said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end." Our Father God destroyed that Age of rebellion, the Former or First Earth Age, however not His children. We have our Father God’s regeneration of the Flesh or Second Earth Age as taught to us in the "Book of Genesis." Our Father God will rejuvenate this earth once again during the Millennial Kingdom of Christ Jesus and also into the Eternal Age. Our Father God has always had a people set aside for Himself that knew the truth of His word, from the prophets, apostles and unto this present time. Those who died/die before satan’s disguise as the false/first christ are called our Father God’s remnant, and those who will witness satan’s reign as the instead of jesus are Father God’s very elect and elect. The elect are those who come to the realization that satan is the first/false christ before our True Christ returns as "King of kings and Lord of lords." It is necessary to have eyes to see and ears to hear, or you remain among the sottish who always have to see, feel and touch anything, not living by faith, but only by sight. We are the generation who are charged to live by faith, accepting our Father God’s word of truth as an innocent child, not questioning or accusing our Father, rather accepting His instruction. Paul teaches in I Corinthians 13:11, "When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things." Receiving our Father God’s word of truth as a child helps you to grow and mature into a man/woman of our Father, graduating from partaking of the milk and chewing the meat.

Jeremiah 4:28 says, “For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black: because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will not repent, neither will I turn back from it." Our Father God is simply saying that I did it once, and I am going to do it again; rid His earth of all that stands in rebellion against His Majesty. Our Father God is our Creator, our Parent, and there is no other, never has been and never will be. Peter teaches in II Peter 3:3 & 4, "Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts," "And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as [they were] from the beginning of the creation." II Peter 3:8 - 10 says, "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." "But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up." Anyone that remains sottish, evil, defiant and rebellious against our Father God will not stand.

Jeremiah 4:29 says, “The whole city shall flee for the noise of the horsemen and bowmen; they shall go into thickets, and climb up upon the rocks: every city shall be forsaken, and not a man dwell therein." The prophet Joel in "Joel - Chapter 2" has also foretold us about the horsemen and the bowmen our Father God is teaching us about in this "Verse." Joel foretells us to sound the trumpet because these horsemen and bowmen usher in the Day of our Lord. Joel also tells us that these horsemen and bowmen are the Lord’s army and we also are taught of these battles men in John’s teaching in "Revelation - Chapter 9." These horsemen and bowmen are satan’s fallen troop of angels, the locust army who accompany him in his disguise as the first/false christ as he assumes his role as the instead of jesus in the Jerusalem temple. Revelation 9:5 - 7 says, "And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment [was] as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man." "And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them." "And the shapes of the locusts [were] like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads [were] as it were crowns like gold, and their faces [were] as the faces of men."

Jeremiah 4:30 says, “And when thou art spoiled, what wilt thou do? Though thou clothest thyself with crimson, though thou deckest thee with ornaments of gold, though thou rentest thy face with painting, in vain shalt thou make thyself fair; thy lovers will despise thee, they will seek thy life." The deception of satan as the false/first christ will be accepted by the sottish because he will be trying to convince the world that he is Christ Jesus. He will bring false peace and prosperity into the world [Daniel - Chapter 9], and because everyone is expecting satan to be evil and menacing, this assumption will be their destruction [I Thessalonians - Chapter 5]. The disguise, deception of satan is both political and religious in nature [Revelation - Chapter 13] and if you are not armed with our Father God’s Gospel armor, you will not withstand satan’s evil reign. "Spoiled" is "shadad {shaw-dad'}" and one of its meanings is "to be utterly ruined." Remember Paul’s teaching of "II Corinthians - Chapter 11", where he forewarns us to be on guard against satan’s beguiling disguise as the instead of jesus, which he compared to Eve’s sin of allowing herself to be wholly seduced "[Genesis - Chapter 3]" and not remaining a faithful virgin to our Father God. The sottish or the spoiled are the ones who allow themselves to be deceived by satan’s one world religious and political system with him in disguise as the anti-christ (instead of jesus). The bride of satan is, "MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH [Revelation 17:5], arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication [Revelation 17:4]. Christ Jesus told His disciples not one stone of the temple would remain in Jerusalem after satan’s filthy and defiling abomination there as the false/first christ [Mark - Chapter 13]. Just as our Father God destroyed the First Earth Age because of satan’s rebellion against our LORD in that Age, satan’s defiling of the Throne of Almighty God in Jerusalem will consummate the end of this Second Earth Age and usher in the "Day of our Lord."

Jeremiah 4:31 says, “For I have heard a voice as of a woman in travail, and the anguish as of her that bringeth forth her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion, that bewaileth herself, that spreadeth her hands, saying, Woe is me now! for my soul is wearied because of murderers." Our Father hears every prayer of His saints who cry unto Him day and night to be avenged of their adversary satan and his defiling of the Jerusalem Temple in his disguise as the false/first christ, the instead of jesus [Revelation - Chapter 6]. Remember Peter’s teaching. II Peter 3:9 says, "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." Our Father God has forewarned us of the events that consummate the end of this Flesh or Second Earth Age, and it is His will that none be spoiled or wholly seduced by satan’s disguise as the false/first christ. A woman in travail is a figure of speech that indicates to us the signs of the end times are happening closer together just like a woman’s labor pains. Just before the birth of her child her pains get closer and closer together signifying the birth is very near at hand, and the events happening around us today are indicating to us that the "Day of our Lord" is nearer than most are wise enough to realize. "Murderers" have the same meaning as "Spoilers", which is "to be utterly ruined or wholly seduced." When satan is cast to this earth, he will have the assistance of our friends and loved ones, the so-called christians who attend church buildings Sunday in and out, however never quite get around to a Chapter by Chapter and Verse by Verse study of the Word of our Father God. When satan is cast to this earth in disguise as the instead of jesus, our friends and loved ones, the "sottish", the "deceived", the "spoiled", will believe him to be our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus, instead of who he is, the false/first christ. Our Father God’s Word forewarns us that satan’s event as the instead of jesus would occur before the Second Coming of Christ Jesus. There is no need to be deceived because we are instructed in our Father God’s word of how to "stand" against satan’s filthy abomination and rebellion of this Flesh or Second Earth Age.

"Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth [2Timothy 2:15]."

"GOD SAID, GOD SAID"

“Jeremiah – Chapter 23”

Whenever you turn on the television, there is always some religious programming on and some so-called evangelist, prophetess/prophet, bishop or preacher, any pulpit guru, alleging that Father God spoke to them. How contrary to the Word of our Father God, which requires that one be disciplined enough to study Chapter by Chapter and Verse by Verse, daily. Today, our Father God speaks to us through His Word of Truth, the "Holy Bible", and Father Himself has said that He has not spoken to these religious title-holders nor sent them to represent Him. Let us turn to the True Word of our Father God and allow Him to witness unto us:

Jeremiah 23:1 says, “Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the LORD.” “Pastors” is “ra`ah {raw-aw'}” in the Hebrew language, meaning, “shepherd, shepherdess, teacher, of people as flock, to pasture, tend, graze, feed.” “Pasture” is “mir`iyth {meer-eeth'}, from ra`ah {raw-aw'}” in the sense of feeding the people as flock, as the sheep of Father God’s pasture [John – Chapter 10]. Our Father instructs us through Hosea the prophet who teaches, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me [Hosea 4:6].

Jeremiah 23:2 says, “Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the LORD.” These self appointed title-holder’s are not teaching our Father God’s flock the meat of His Word of Truth. Their congregations know nothing of the Seven Events that bring this Second or Flesh Earth Age to an end; specifically, one such event being that of satan’s deception as the first/false christ. The disguise of satan as the first/false christ precedes the Day of our Lord, which is Christ Jesus’ Second Advent/Visitation [II Thessalonians – Chapter 2]. These self-proclaimed title-holder’s will lead the way when they bow a knee to satan’s abomination believing him to be our True Christ Jesus when in fact he is the instead of jesus.

Jeremiah 23:3 says, “And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase. “Remnant” is a very important and interesting word. The prime root of the word is “sha'ar {shaw-ar'}”, meaning, “to remain, be left over, be left behind, to leave (as a gift), be left alive, survive.” Many congregations are taught today that they want to be the first ones taken as opposed to remaining in the field. Christ Jesus said in Luke 12:35, “Let your loins be girded about, and [your] lights burning”, Verse 36 says, “And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.” Verse 37 says, “Blessed [are] those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching.” Of the two, the first one taken from the field are deceived by the first/false christ, satan, and will not be watching for our True Lord and Savior Christ Jesus’ Second Visitation to this earth as “King of kings and Lord of lords.”

Jeremiah 23:4 says, “And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the LORD.” "Christ Jesus" is our "Good Shepherd, our True Shepherd." Our Lord said in John 10:5, “And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.” Verse 14 says, “I am the good shepherd, and know my [sheep], and am known of mine.” Verse 16 says, “And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, [and] one shepherd.” All that our Father God has given to His Beloved Son will come to Christ Jesus, and will not be deceived by satan’s disguise as the first/false christ. For it is Christ Jesus who was sacrificed for all of humankind as is taught in John 10:15 which says, "As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep."

Jeremiah 23:5 says, “Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.” This "Verse" is speaking of Christ Jesus, our Messiah from David’s lineage as taught in Matthew 1:17 which says, “So all the generations from Abraham to David [are] fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon [are] fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ [are] fourteen generations.” “Jesus is Emmanuel”, meaning “God with us”, and His genealogy is taught of in Luke – Chapter 3.

Jeremiah 23:6 says, “In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.” This "Verse" is speaking of the "Day of our Lord", the one thousand year or Millennial Reign of Christ Jesus upon the earth. "THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS” in the Hebrew is “YAHOVAH Tsidqenuw {ye-ho-vaw' tsid-kay'-noo}", which means “LORD our righteousness.” Revelation 19:11 says, “And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him [was] called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.” Verse 13 says, “And he [was] clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.”

Jeremiah 23:7 says, “Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that they shall no more say, The LORD liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;” Jeremiah 23:8 says, “But, The LORD liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land.” Israel is Jacob, the son of Isaac, grandson of Abraham, and father of the twelve patriarchs of the tribes of Israel, and our Father God changed his name from Jacob to Israel. Genesis 32:28 says, “And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.” “Israel” means “God prevails, contender, soldier of God, one who fights and prevails.” Our Father is saying that in the near future, He will not just be the God of Jacob, and the land of Israel, He will be the God of all the people, nations and lands. Hosea 1:9 & 10 says, “Then said [God], Call his name Loammi: for ye [are] not my people, and I will not be your [God].” “Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, [that] in the place where it was said unto them, Ye [are] not my people [Loammi], [there] it shall be said unto them, [Ye are] the sons of the living God [Ammi].”

Jeremiah 23:9 says, “Mine heart within me is broken because of the prophets; all my bones shake; I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine hath overcome, because of the LORD, and because of the words of his holiness.” The prophets of Jeremiah’s day were no different than the so-called religious leaders of today, since they too have an adversity to hearing the Truth of our Father God’s Word. They are lazy and rather than study our Father’s Word Chapter by Chapter, Verse by Verse, they would rather mock the truth-bearers by asking what university, seminary or theology school they attended. The prophet Isaiah attempted to teach our Father God’s word to the people precept upon precept and line upon line, and was mocked and made light of because he was bearing a message they did not wish to hear.

Isaiah 28:2 says, “Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one, [which] as a tempest of hail [and] a destroying storm, as a flood of mighty waters overflowing, shall cast down to the earth with the hand.” Our Father God is speaking through the prophet Isaiah a message for the people, saying, the adversary [satan] is coming to take captives and destroy. This mighty and strong one with a flood of overflowing waters is satan in disguise as the first/false christ, the anti-christ, instead of jesus. 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.” 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.” The son of perdition, satan, will reign as the instead of jesus, anti-christ, or the first/false christ for a period of five months. The flood of waters that satan will cast from his mouth are his flood of lies that he is Christ Jesus here on the earth to rapture, any moment or flyaway the children. Carried away and caught up is the very same lie of satan in disguise as the first/false christ and anyone carried away with his flyaway lie or caught up in his rapture doctrine will be ensnared by satan, the destroyer.

Isaiah 28:9 says, “Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? [them that are] weaned from the milk, [and] drawn from the breasts.” The people are mocking Isaiah’s method of teaching our Father God’s Word, which is Precept upon Precept and Line upon Line, or Chapter by Chapter and Verse by Verse. The people are distraught because they are seasoned christians and how dare Isaiah treat them as if they are babes suckling milk from the breasts and still in need of weaning. Isaiah 28:10 says, “ For precept [must be] upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, [and] there a little:” The seasoned christians would much rather read the Holy Bible at home since they do not come to church to be taught Chapter by Chapter and Verse by Verse. The pulpit gurus should take a verse from here or from there and entertain them with their pulpit antics while congregations shout hallelujah from the amen corner. They would much rather be beguiled by enticing words of man’s wisdom and their hypocritical circus sideshows and theatrics. Isaiah 28:11 says, “For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.” Our Father God is now speaking to the seasoned christians. Father is saying that because you reject the knowledge received by studying His Word Chapter by Chapter and Verse by Verse, I am going to allow you to be deceived by the beguiling words of the serpent, who is satan disguised as the first/false christ. Christ Jesus said in John 5:43, “I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. Verse 44 says, “How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that [cometh] from God only?" Our Father God has foretold us all things concerning the events that will befall us in these latter days. Our LORD has declared that before He ushers in the Day of our Lord, satan’s disguise as the first/false christ must come first. If you would rather honor and celebrate your religious leaders instead of the Word of our Father God, satan will deceive you when he is cast to this earth as the anti-christ. Isaiah 28:12 says, “To whom he said, This [is] the rest [wherewith] ye may cause the weary to rest; and this [is] the refreshing: yet they would not hear.” We must rest to be refreshed. Christ Jesus teaches in Matthew 11:28, “Come unto me, all [ye] that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Verse 29 says, “Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me.” Our rest is found in our Lord Christ Jesus, and we must take the time to learn of Him by studying our Father God’s Word Chapter by Chapter and Verse by Verse, daily. Our Lord and Savior has given us power over all authority of our enemies, even satan in his disguise as the first/false christ and his doctrine of confusion. Remember, satan tempted Christ Jesus with Scripture; therefore, “Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil [Ephesians 6:11].” Isaiah 28:13 says, “But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, [and] there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.” Do not just read over what Almighty God is telling us in this "Verse." Our Father God states that pulling here a little and there a little from the Holy Bible will cause you to fall backward and be broken, snared and taken by ignorance and confusion. We are commanded by our Father God to study His Word Chapter by Chapter and Verse by Verse. That is, subject by subject until you have understanding of the subject matter by comprehending what “thus saith our LORD”, versus, what saith our religious leaders traditions, which is what is taught in seminaries, theology schools and Bible colleges throughout the land.

Jeremiah 23:10 says, “For the land is full of adulterers; for because of swearing the land mourneth; the pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up, and their course is evil, and their force is not right.” Our Father God is not pleased with these self proclaimed religious leaders who speak from their own hearts, and lie to their religious following by saying, God said, God said. If you truly want to know what our Father God has spoken through His Word, then you had better study for yourself, not here a little, there a little, rather, as Father’s Word was written. Remember Jeremiah 17:5 which says, "Thus saith the LORD; Cursed [be] the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD." Any other approach of hearing our Father God’s Word will cause you to be overtaken by the evil one who is satan in his deception as the first/false christ, instead of jesus, and his false doctrine of the flyaway or rapture rhetoric. Ezekiel – Chapter 37 is a wonderful study that teaches about the valley of the dry bones.

Jeremiah 23:11 says, “For both prophet and priest are profane; yea, in my house have I found their wickedness, saith the LORD." Pulpit gurus claim to be teachers of Christ Jesus, however come Sunday morning, they do not teach Father's Word Chapter by Chapter and Verse by Verse. What you hear and see are theatrics, play-acting, as they teach the lie of the rapture, any moment, fly away doctrines which are contrary to the Truth of Father's Word. They take one or two Verses of the Holy Bible and teach by their own self-proclaimed knowledge.

Jeremiah 23:12 says, " Wherefore their way shall be unto them as slippery [ways] in the darkness: they shall be driven on, and fall therein: for I will bring evil upon them, [even] the year of their visitation, saith the LORD. " False teachings and accepting them is like walking in pure darkness on a very slippery foundation with nothing to hold on to. Christ Jesus, our Living Word is your only foundation when you study to show yourself approved and become pleasing to our Father God. When Christ Jesus returns as "King of kings and Lord of lords" and you have bowed down and worshipped satan in his deception, instead of rejoicing when Christ returns, you will be praying for rocks and mountains to fall upon you because of shame.

Jeremiah 23:13 says, " And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria; they prophesied in Baal, and caused my people Israel to err. " Following the death of King Solomon, Jeroboam decided it was too far to travel to Jerusalem to worship our Father and built golden calves so they could stay where they were and worship idols, which is Baal [satan] worship. As Jeroboam, many pulpit gurus feel their self proclaimed knowledge of Father's Word is sufficient as they teach the doctrines and traditions learned within their schools of idolatry. All these things take place because they are too lazy to study Father's Word as it was written, seeking that increase of understanding only Almighty God can give when you seek, ask and knock. Those calling themselves christians have actually stated that studying Father's Word Chapter by Chapter and Verse by Verse is boring. When you bow a knee to satan in ignorance, those very words spoken out of any so-called christian's mouth will surely be choked on when our True Christ returns.

Jeremiah 23:14 says, I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none doth return from his wickedness: they are all of them unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah." In our Father's House they practice sodomy and our LORD burned that city down. As it was, so it is today as these same practices, this moral injustice, is acknowledged by churches as being fit and right. Well, not in the sight of Father God Almighty. Be careful of those who claim Father God sent them when they are so Biblically illiterate that they will lead you straight into the bed of satan {spiritually speaking} so you become as those who practiced sodomy, when spiritually, you are led to serve a religious system [satan], when you should be observing and identifying with Father's Word only.

Jeremiah 23:15 says, " Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts concerning the prophets; Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the water of gall: for from the prophets of Jerusalem is profaneness gone forth into all the land" "Wormwood" is "satan" and "gall" is the "poppy seeds [false teachings]" satan will deceive all those who do not have the "Seal of Truth" within their minds with when he is cast to this earth as the first/false christ. Father God is speaking directly to those calling themselves teachers of His Word, who are not. They are liars and deceivers and Father has called them "profane {polluted, hypocrites, ungodly" because of it. Our LORD likened them to the sins of Sodom and Gomorrah.

Jeremiah 23:16 says, " Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, [and] not out of the mouth of the LORD." If you listen to the lies taught by the false teachings of most of the churches within this world today, your head will be empty {vain}, lacking true knowledge. Father God is letting you know that He did not chose them, nor send them; He is totally and completely ashamed of them in their ignorance. Study for yourself so you come to know false teachings when you hear it. Father will hear no excuses when you stand before Him because you allowed yourself to fill your own head with false teachings and doctrines when you should have been listening to what "thus saith our LORD."

Jeremiah 23:17 says, " They say still unto them that despise me, The LORD hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say unto every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you. " The pulpit gurus teach the rapture, any moment , fly-away doctrines, convincing their congregations they will be removed from the earth during the terrible tribulation because they are so special and Father God loves them sooooo much. It is "impossible" to "stand" against Father's enemies, who are satan, the fallen angels and the kenites, if you are not here. It is impossible to stand against the synagogue of satan in his disguise as the first/false christ if you have been raptured away. This is why this is such a dangerous teaching since what the rapture theory will do is lead you straight into the bed {spiritually speaking} of satan. Foolishness from the pulpits will cause you to lie with the enemy of Father God Almighty and that is a hard case to explain when our LORD has written a magnificent love letter to His children to keep them from deception as you come to know who our Father and His Beloved Son are through the "Holy Bible."

Jeremiah 23:18 says, " For who hath stood in the counsel of the LORD, and hath perceived and heard his word? who hath marked his word, and heard [it]?" Who is studying and listening to the teachings of the very elect as they plant seeds of truth wherein you are absorbing those same truths into your own mind, and because of asking, seeking and knocking, our LORD opening your mind to understanding. If you want to know how our Father feels and His thoughts, all you have to do is study His Word, Chapter by Chapter and Verse by Verse. Father has revealed all things within His Word and want His children to know that all things will come to pass exactly as He has written.

Jeremiah 23:19 says, " Behold, a whirlwind of the LORD is gone forth in fury, even a grievous whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon the head of the wicked." To all the false teachings coming from the pulpit gurus [wicked ignorance], it is important for you to understand that not only will you be held accountable for the lies you have spewed from the pulpit, you will also be held accountable for the many congregations you have led astray. Judgment begins at the pulpit just where it should initiate.

Jeremiah 23:20 says, " The anger of the LORD shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it perfectly." In the "latter days" of this generation, you will see all those things our Father wrote within His Word come to pass exactly as they are written. It is far better to understand these same truths now and not when you actually see our True Christ returning as "King of kings and Lord of lords." Being a christan does not mean you darken every church service you can attend to listen to a bunch of Biblically illiterate fools play church. Being a christian means you study Father's Word and walk the path Christ Jesus, our Living Word taught. Father God is letting you know what He thinks of your pulpit gurus and their false teachings and doctrines. Are you listening?

Jeremiah 23:21 says, " I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied." How often have you heard your pulpit gurus tell you how Father God spoke to them and instructed them to tell you a story or about a blessing they received because they are so special. How often have you recognized that along with their imagination speaking does it end with you being a part of a conversation or a blessing with or from Father God "if" you dig into your pocket and purse and drop some cash money into "their" plate. Father God speaks to all of His children who study His Word as He leads, guides and directs your path. You do not need to hear a story from a fool in the pulpit who is simply robbing you for their own good living, enjoying the fruits of your physical labor. Father God is letting you know that what these pulpit gurus are teaching in "their" churches is not from His heart, because our LORD has nothing to do with them.

Jeremiah 23:22 says, " But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings." If the pulpit gurus listened to wisdom, which is Father God's Word and taught their congregations what "thus saith our LORD", people would turn away from the wickedness within their own hearts, be it of thoughts, words or deeds. Father God has given us "His Precious Word" and why most of the pulpit gurus throughout the whole earth will not teach it is beyond my understanding. They would rather write their own books rather than listen to what our Father God has to say, dragging themselves into the bed {spiritual speaking} of satan, along with their congregations. Father's Word is "Perfect" just the way it is and they had best take their foul seasonings and theatrics and destroy them before they are destroyed by them. How often when Christ Jesus was asked a question did He respond with, "Have you not read?"

Jeremiah 23:23 says, " [Am] I a God at hand, saith the LORD, and not a God afar off? " Father God is saying He is right here with us. Our LORD has told us that He will "never leave or forsake His children [Hebrews 13:5]. Our Father knows all about each one of His children; every act, word, thought and deed.

Jeremiah 23:24 says, " Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the LORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the LORD." Father God is "I AM THAT I AM [Exodus 3:14]." Our LORD is everywhere and all you have to do is reach out to Him. Whenever you have a need, all you have to do is trust Father God and return to Him; let our Father know there is no good thing you can do without Him. It is necessary to have so strong a faith in our Father that you pray that He will use you according to His good pleasure.

Jeremiah 23:25 says, " I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed. " How often have you heard the pulpits gurus claim a story, a dream, that came to them straight from our Father God Almighty. Our LORD is telling you straight up, they are lying. Believe them not. Father's Word is a witness to any dream claimed and if you cannot document it within Father's Word, obviously it is a lie; most likely the result of a ham sandwich eaten before bedtime.

Jeremiah 23:26 says, " How long shall [this] be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, [they are] prophets of the deceit of their own heart; " The lying dreams of the pulpit gurus are of their own creative thinking; simply figments of their imagination and guilty conscious from being in the pulpit in the first place.

Jeremiah 23:27 says, Which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal." This is how doctrines and traditions of men come into existence. It happens because of the lying illusions from the hearts and minds of the Biblically illiterate claiming to be teachers of Father's Word, when they are not. Because of these lies told from the pulpits around this world, most of the people upon this earth will forget our Father God Almighty and bow down and worship the first/false christ, who is satan, when he is cast to this earth to perpetrate the greatest deception ever to be known to mankind.

Jeremiah 23:28 says, " The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What [is] the chaff to the wheat? saith the LORD. " Father God is saying if the Biblically illiterate pulpit gurus want to spew their dreams from "their" pulpits, let them. Father does not want His very elect, His true teachers, to even give them a thought. Leave them be to their own imaginations and do not fear or judge them since our LORD will take care of each of them at the appointed time. The work of the very elect is to focus on studying and sharing the true gospel, which leaves no time for the foolishness of the Biblically illiterate.

Jeremiah 23:29 says, " [Is] not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer [that] breaketh the rock in pieces? " Chaff is light husk and fire burns it quickly, immediately. This is to say, the True Word of Father God will be a "Consuming Fire" to those who teach lies that keep Father's children from the Truth of His Word because of their folly and theatrics, playing church.

Jeremiah 23:30 says, " Therefore, behold, I [am] against the prophets, saith the LORD, that steal my words every one from his neighbour." The pulpit gurus spews a lying dream, the congregations pick it up and pass it on, claiming it originated from Father God, when it did not. When the story was told, the first thing the hearer should have done was go and study the Word of Father God to ascertain if that told could be truth, rather than just repeating what was told. This again is how doctrines and traditions of men come to be. Document anything that is told to you when it comes to Father's Word by studying for yourself, praying for understanding through Christ Jesus, receiving understanding only Father God can give by the blessings of the Holy Spirit.

Jeremiah 23:31 says, " Behold, I [am] against the prophets, saith the LORD, that use their tongues, and say, He saith." Jeremiah 23:32 says, " Behold, I [am] against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the LORD, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, saith the LORD." Father God is letting us know that He did not send these lying wonders who stand in pulpits around the world deceiving His children with their false doctrines and traditions. If you are listening to anyone who is not teaching Father's Word exactly as it is written, you should have a clue that Father God did not ordain that individual, they placed themselves in "their" pulpit. You are cursed if you put your trust in any pulpit guru, when you should be putting your trust in Father God Almighty, only. Therefore, listening to these lying illusionists is a total waste of your time that should best be spent praying, studying and receiving the blessing of understanding the truth of Father's Word wherein our LORD finds you to be pleasing in His sight.

Jeremiah 23:33 says, " And when this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask thee, saying, What [is] the burden of the LORD? thou shalt then say unto them, What burden? I will even forsake you, saith the LORD." Jeremiah 23:34 says, " And [as for] the prophet, and the priest, and the people, that shall say, The burden of the LORD, I will even punish that man and his house." Our Lord God Almighty, Faithful and True, does not place burdens on any of His children. Burdens are placed on people because they have no relationship with our Father. They listen to their pulpit gurus instead of listening to our Father who gave humankind His Precious Word to lead, guide and direct our lives according to His good will. Therefore, if you are so lame as to blame Father God for your own lack of love for His Word, and you are laden with burdens because of it, you are in a sorry state of affairs, and Father God does not like being accused since He is "Perfect." Accuse our Father of anything negative and watch your burdens flow bitterly. Father God is "love." Our LORD loves His children so much that He personified Himself in the Flesh through our Lord Jesus Christ to be sacrificed on the cross for our sins. That is the "Greatest Love of All."

Jeremiah 23:35 says, " Thus shall ye say every one to his neighbour, and every one to his brother, What hath the LORD answered? and, What hath the LORD spoken?" You can rest assured your life will not be a cake walk when you start tossing darts at our Father God and blaming Him for the burdens you allow to fall upon you because of being too lazy to study and come to understand the pure love of our Father toward all of His children who love and are obedient to Him.

Jeremiah 23:36 says, " And the burden of the LORD shall ye mention no more: for every man's word shall be his burden; for ye have perverted the words of the living God, of the LORD of hosts our God." When you blame Father God for the woes of this world, "why did Father allow this or that to happen", you had better be most careful. People have blamed our LORD because of the abuse experienced by children and the elderly. The unruly parent and the uncaring child, or the pervert should be blamed for hurting our children and the elderly, as well as the law-makers who protect the criminal elements. It is impossible to keep yourself from harm's way if you do not have a relationship with Father God. How many of you take the time each day with your family, your children, and study Father's Word wherein you deserve His protection. Our lives will never be perfect since evil permeates this world, however I would rather be under the veil of protection from Father God than to even think about attempting to live in this flesh without Him. Father God blesses those who bless Him, and the only way to bless Father God is to love Him, have faith and trust within Him, and study His Word until our Lord Jesus Christ returns as "King of kings and Lord of lords."

Jeremiah 23:37 says, " Thus shalt thou say to the prophet, What hath the LORD answered thee? and, What hath the LORD spoken?" When you are trying to live according to Father's will and there are burdens in your life, seek a true vessel of Father God, one of His very elect, for guidance. We are all babes in Father's Word when initially studying, having need of a true teacher. The only way to know if the one you seek guidance from is of the very elect, is to have a base knowledge of Father's Word so you know the one you seek direction from has knowledge of the "Scriptures." If the one you seek guidance from blames Father God for your woes, you should know immediately, you are speaking to a buffoon.

Jeremiah 23:38 says, " But since ye say, The burden of the LORD; therefore thus saith the LORD; Because ye say this word, The burden of the LORD, and I have sent unto you, saying, Ye shall not say, The burden of the LORD;" If the one you seek guidance from says Father is testing you with burdens, bells and whistles should go off and you should know immediately that one is a fake and a liar. When you blame our Father for the woes within your life, He will let you wallow in those burdens like a pig in slop. Father God loves His children and would never, ever do anything to cause any hurt, harm and danger. "Father God" is "Love." So do not ever blame our Father, rather, return unto Him through Christ Jesus, by the blessings of the Holy Spirit, knowing our LORD through faithful study of His Word. Father blesses His children who bless Him. To accuse our Father of anything negative is to have a heart like satan, evil.

Jeremiah 23:39 says, " Therefore, behold, I, even I, will utterly forget you, and I will forsake you, and the city that I gave you and your fathers, [and cast you] out of my presence:" If you blame Father for your woes and burdens, simply put, our Father God will have nothing to do with you. Father will let satan and your pulpit gurus continue to have their way with you. You must never accuse our Father God who loves His children so much, of burdening you. It hurts our Father and He does not like it, and it certainly will not put you within His favor. How can you be pleasing to Father God when you are accusing Him. Burdens and woes within your life are of your on doing and letting satan's evil spirit in, when you do not have the veil, the shield of Father's protection over you and your family and loved ones, because you have no relationship with our Father, which is developed through faithful study of His Word. Again, even the very elect's life is not perfect, however there is no negative occurrence or obstacle that will come into our lives that we cannot move since we are under the blessings of Father God. Study to show yourself approved and let Father know how much you love Him, receiving His blessings as you stand on the Rock of our Foundation, who is Christ Jesus, who gave us power over our enemies [Luke 10:18]..

Jeremiah 23:40 says, " And I will bring an everlasting reproach upon you, and a perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten." "Reproach" means "scorn (upon enemy)." "Perpetual" means "long duration, everlasting." You must take responsibility for your own life's woes according to how you live your life. If you have time for everything and everyone except our Father God, you can expect to have burdens. Sitting in a church every Sunday and doing deeds for that church is surely not worthy of Father's love, especially if your pulpit guru was not placed there by our Father to teach in the first place. Our LORD brings blessings into the lives of His children who study His Word and are faithful to Him. Father God does not bring burdens on anyone, including the ignorant masses who fail to study His Word and magnify Him as they should. However, when you fail to do so, you are not under the veil of protection, therefore, there is evil around you and lacking knowledge, you let it in. Do not blame Father for your ignorance and if you are so foolish as to do so, be prepared to drown within them. When Father pulls back His blessings, you are as naked as a new born babe and only a fool would want to live in this world today without the blessing, the cloth, of our Father God. Realize your wrong-doings, repent in the Name of Christ Jesus before the Throne of Father God Almighty, receiving the blessings of the Holy Spirit, and receive the promises of our LORD upon the declaration of your love for Him, by your actions. Stop listening to the Biblically illiterate. Stop doing things your way. Start doing things our Father God's way and place your soul in the Hands of "I AM THAT I AM."
