I CORINTHIANS - CHAPTER 3

I Corinthians 3:1 says, "And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, [even] as unto babes in Christ." You cannot understand the mysteries of Father's Word, that strong meat, if you continue suckling milk of those spiritual teachings that bring you to accept Christ Jesus as Savior, with pure love for Father God Almighty. The meat of Father's Word is understanding there are Three Earth Ages, what happened in the First Earth Age, who the kenites are, just to name a few of the wondrous teachings of the "Holy Bible." You can only come to the understanding of these truths by closing your carnal eyes and ears and opening your spiritual eyes and ears.

I Corinthians 3:2 says, "I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able [to bear it], neither yet now are ye able." If you are not studying with spiritual eyes and ears, "what saith our LORD", what you are studying will have to meaning. Those things that are to be spiritually understood will be looked upon in a physical sense, which is of no use, since all things relating to Father God are "Spiritual." This is why as Paul, the very elect of this generation must teach according to the ability of the hearer to receive and accept truth gradually so there is understanding.

I Corinthians 3:3 says, "For ye are yet carnal: for whereas [there is] among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?" This is how denominations of faith came into existence, by those calling themselves christians, studying Father's Word from a carnal sense rather than from a spiritual sense. Carnal understanding is wisdom of the world, while spiritual understanding is comprehending those teachings of Christ Jesus and all those who penned Father's Word by His Spirit, having that spiritual relationship with Father. It will be very hard to have a heart towards Father when you look at your pulpit guru or any religious person as one who should be on a pedestal. There is only One who stretched out His Arms on that Cross at Calvary, and that is Christ Jesus, our Living Word, who sits at the Right Hand of Father God as mankind's Intercessor .

I Corinthians 3:4 says, "For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I [am] of Apollos; are ye not carnal?" It is very hard to have a mind and heart that has mature love for Father God when you heart and mind are fixed on the servants of our LORD, whom He put into place to be a part of His Perfect Plan for all to receive, if, they have eyes to see and ears to hear. A christian means you are of the many-membered "Body of Christ Jesus", and He alone, following the teachings of our "Living Word."

I Corinthians 3:5 says, "Who then is Paul, and who [is] Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?" When you are chosen before the foundation of this Flesh or Second Earth Age, no matter what you may be doing, when Father God is ready to put you into the field {world} to plant seeds of truth, He will strike you down and get your attention, with love. Father will see to it that His very elect are where they are when they should be, always studying faithfully and sharing Words of Truth with all who will receive, accepting Christ Jesus as Savior, believing in our Father God Almighty and receiving the blessing of His Holy Spirit. This is how you come to the knowledge of truth; hearing, believing, studying, praying and receiving.

I Corinthians 3:6 says, "I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase." You plant a seed {truth} in the soil {mind} and it is the natural order of Father God who causes it to blossom {understand} into its own. It is Father God and He alone who gives the gift of truth, that increase of understanding {meat of the Word, the mysteries revealed}, to any of His children who seek, ask and knock. This is the spiritual wisdom of Father God and it cannot be found with wisdom of the world, which are the doctrines and traditions of men.

I Corinthians 3:7 says, "So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase." The very elect are servants, vessels that belong to Father God, used according to His Good Will, which brings Him pleasure and they are not to be rewarded for doing so, for it is "Father God Only" who shall receive all the praise and glory for His marvelous works for His children. No pulpit guru or the very elect can convert you to the spiritual revelations of Truth. Father God and He only can give you the precious gift of understanding His Word.

I Corinthians 3.8 says, "Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour." Father God gives gifts to His very elect based on their abilities and He knows what each of His children's capabilities are, which is a blessing. "Labor" is the "works" you do for Almighty God, therefore you can only work for Father if you understand and are a testimony of His Word. So when you labor for Father God, no matter what gift He has bestowed upon you, all are under the veil of our LORD and receive His blessing both as we now live upon this earth, and in the Heavenly Age, which is yet to come. Father God always takes care of His own.

I Corinthians 3:9 says, "For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, [ye are] God's building." Everything accomplished by the very elect is because of Father God Almighty, through Christ Jesus and the blessings of His Holy Spirit. The many-membered Body of Christ Jesus, is our "Temple" since He is the "Foundation" on which we stand; our Rock. Not that building so frequently visited called a church that is full of babble and confusion since the teachings are of the doctrines and traditions of men. Father God is not there because our LORD is not the "author of confusion", satan is. Father expects all of His children who are under and doing His will to work together in spreading the Truth of His Word to keep His children from the greatest deception ever to be known at the appointed time; satan cast to this earth as the first/false christ.

I Corinthians 3:10 says, "According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon." The "Foundation, our Rock" is built upon by understanding who our Lord Jesus Christ is, why He was born from above, what He accomplished as He walked with mankind, why and what was accomplished when our Lord was sacrificed on that cross, and what our Lord expects to find you doing when He returns to this earth as "King of kings and Lord of lords." Studying the Truth of Father's Word that brings forth knowledge, wisdom, when you seek, ask and knock is that truth that is built upon our Foundation, who is Christ Jesus, and you cannot be shaken [Hebrews - Chapter 12].

I Corinthians 3:11 says, "For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ." If you want to be a part of the Eternity with Father God, Christ Jesus is the only "Foundation" you should be building on since all things of this earth, tangible things, will surely pass away at the appointed time. This is why you must open your spiritual eyes and ears when studying our Father God's Word and be sure that our LORD is always first in your life. Study to show your love for Father God, receiving understanding, knowing this pleases our LORD, who created all for "His pleasure."

I Corinthians 3:12 says, "Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;" I Corinthians 3:13 says, "Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is." That strength of your spiritual self, that which you build upon, your works for Father God, will be revealed by our LORD who is a "Consuming Fire", at the appointed time. The analogy is that "gold, silver, precious stones" can stand against fire which cause it to become better, taking on another depth of purity, while "wood, hay, stubble" when feeling the fire, will surely burn to ashes. It is necessary to build your love for Father and Christ Jesus genuinely, which means from a pure heart, which will speak volumes through the "works" you accomplish while in the flesh body. Studying our Father's Word, praying and receiving truth that you share with any who have eyes to see and ears to hear, surely pleases Father God. When Father sees how you can handle "His Work", your gifts may remain as they are since Father will never over-burden his election, or, He will increase your gifts because you can manage it. Just be sure as you do the works of our Father that all the praise and glory goes to Father God since flesh, which is likely to sin, can cause you to have a big head and lose those marvelous gifts bestowed by Father God. Our LORD and He only is to always receive the praise and the glory and you thank Almighty God for the privilege of being deemed worthy to be a part of His Perfect Plan.

I Corinthians 3:14 says, "If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward." This is revealed in Revelation 14:13 which says, "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." This is teaching of our "woven righteous acts {works}" which are accomplished while living within your flesh body, now, being a part of our Father's Perfect Plan. "Revelation 19:7 & 8" says, "Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready." "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." When you stand before "Father God's Throne on Judgment Day", how pleased our LORD will be to give you rewards earned as your "stood" against satan when he was cast to this earth as the first/false christ, because you studied His Word and shared that same Truth to any who would receive it. "Revelation 7:9 & 10” says, "After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;" "And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb."

I Corinthians 3:15 says, "If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire." When you go into the Eternity, saved by Father's grace and mercy, with no works for Father God while you were yet in your flesh body, you will feel great shame when you stand before the "Throne of Almighty God on Judgment Day." As an analogy, when your children, a loved one or anyone at all does something deserving of a reward, you find pleasure in providing it. This is exactly how our Father God feels when you stand before Him on Judgment Day and He rewards your good works accomplished while you were in your flesh body. It will certainly bring our LORD no joy to give you little or nothing at all. Your reward will be the privilege of living within our Father's Eternal Kingdom.

I Corinthians 3:16 says, "Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and [that] the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?" Father's Spirit, which is the Holy Spirit, is within you when you are a part of the many-membered Body of Christ Jesus.

I Corinthians 3:17 says, "If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which [temple] ye are." When you "defile {corrupt/destroy} the temple of God", you are actually hurting yourself. Why would you want to remove the Holy Spirit from within yourself by separating from our Rock, who is Christ Jesus, our Living Word. Our Lord is our Intercessor to Father God and you should never want to be removed from the eyes of our LORD who is the only One that can grant you the increase of knowledge into understanding the revelation of His Precious Word.

I Corinthians 3:18 says, "Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise." When you act as the very elect, sharing the Truth of our Father's Word, to those playing church {wise in this world}, your Chapter by Chapter, Verse by Verse teachings seem "foolish" to them. When the very elect do not act as the fools in their pulpits do, spinning and twisting, taking a "Verse" here and a "Verse" there and feeding their doctrines and traditions, placing their congregations in guilt to receive blessings by tithing to the pulpit guru, they {very elect} seem foolish. This brings no pleasure to the very elect. In fact, it is heartbreaking. Being Biblically illiterate, bowing a knee to satan believing he is our True Christ, and feeling that shame when our Lord Jesus Christ returns as "King of kings and Lord of lords" and most of the world realize they bowed to death [satan] himself, this brings the very elect no pleasure for the shame they shall feel in the eyes of our Lord at that time.

I Corinthians 3:19 says, "For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness." All of the "foolishness {godless}" and "craftiness {false wisdom}" being taught and accepted in churches throughout the world is not pleasing to our Father. The crafty one is satan, and when you are not endowed with Father's Holy Spirit, you open the door for satan to step right into your inner man and enjoy those foolish things, playing church, too lazy to study, that bring displeasure to our Father God. "Job 5:12 & 13" says, "He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform [their] enterprise." "He taketh the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the froward is carried headlong."

I Corinthians 3:20 says, "And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain." "Vain" means "devoid of force, truth, success, prideful." Father God knows the weaknesses of His children and He promised never to leave or forsake us. "Psalms 94:11 - 17" says, "The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they [are] vanity." "Blessed [is] the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him out of thy law;" "That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked." "For the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance." "But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it." "Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? [or] who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?" "Unless the LORD [had been] my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence."

I Corinthians 3:21 says, "Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours;" You are to only "glory" in "Christ Jesus." There was no other who stretched out his arms on the cross for you and me. Our Lord Jesus Christ took our stripes that we may be healed. He is our Living Word and we make up the many-membered Body of Christ Jesus. When we take all our gifts given of Father God and put them together in the fulfillment of His Perfect Plan, we can then rejoice as the veil of Father's protection is all around us. This is why Father and He only is given the praise and the glory. Be thankful to be a part of the Perfect Plan our LORD God Almighty, doing His will that eyes and ears are opened each and every day as His children see and hear His Word and become a part of the "Body of Christ Jesus."

I Corinthians 3:22 says, "Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;" Father God wants all of His children to open their eyes and ears and come to the knowledge of truth. Accepting Christ Jesus, believing in our Father God, having the blessings of His Holy Spirit, that when a seed is planted within your mind, you open the "Holy Bible" and study, praying always to our Father through Christ Jesus, by the Power of the Holy Spirit, to receive the increase of understanding only our LORD can give. The Word of Almighty God, His blessings and rewards belong to all who become a part of "His Perfect Plan" with understanding.

I Corinthians 3:23 says, "And ye are Christ's; and Christ [is] God's." When you are in Christ Jesus, you belong to Christ Jesus. When you have seen the Son, you have seen the Father, who declared, "This is My Beloved Son, in Whom I am well pleased." Following the path of Christ Jesus, all of humankind should want our Father to be well pleased with His children. We are all one family with our Father and Christ Jesus and this should bring you great joy. To know Father God it is necessary to leave the milk after receiving salvation, and delving into the strong meat of Father's Word. It is necessary since we all must "stand" on "Yeshua, Christ Jesus, who is our Foundation, our Rock", and can "stand" against evil, the kenites, satan and his fallen angels, since "YAHOVAH, Father God Almighty" has given us power over all of our enemies when we love, demonstrate our faith and trust, placing our souls into our "Merciful Father's Hands" who will always "stand for His children who revere Him!"

I CORINTHIANS - CHAPTER 2

I Corinthians 2:1 says, "And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God." As Paul taught, Father's Word should continue to be taught not with fancy words or long complicated speech, rather with common sense and extended with the straightforwardness that our Father God inspired through the writers of His Precious Word. This is accomplished for a teacher who has a spiritual relationship with Father God, through Christ Jesus, because the increase of understanding and wisdom comes from Almighty God.

I Corinthians 2:2 says, "For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified." Christ Jesus was crucified on the cross at Calvary for all of humankind, making it possible for all of Father's children to come before His Throne and repent from a pure heart of all sins. Through the crucifixion, our Lord defeated death, who is satan as is taught in "Hebrews - Chapter 2." Never forget that it was the kenites, who are the offspring of satan, Cain's children, who crucified our Lord Jesus Christ on that cross.

I Corinthians 2:3 says, "And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling." It is impossible to teach Father's Word without having the Holy Spirit within you since it is through the "Power of Almighty God" that you come to understand His Word and plant seeds of that same truth for any who have eyes to see and ears to hear. Just as Paul was struck down on that road to Damascus, Father God will get the attention of any of His very elect to assure they are working in the field, which is the world, spreading "His Good Gospel", with no fear from the evil perpetrated by the kenites or the spirit of satan that flows over this earth.

I Corinthians 2:4 says, "And my speech and my preaching [was] not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:" The very elect are not to teach as the hypocritical pulpit gurus who use theatrics and enticing words to be so loved by their congregations. It is the responsibility of the very elect to teach who the kenites are who crucified our Lord Jesus Christ, that they are prevalent upon this earth today, heading the four hidden dynasties, which are economics, education, politics and religion. It is the kenites who sit in the highest seats of authority within churches around the world, preparing the way for satan and the fallen angels when they are cast to this earth to perpetrate the greatest deception ever to be known to mankind. All must have faith within these truths because that is a declaration of love for Father God and His Living Word, Christ Jesus. If you chose to hang on to the doctrines and traditions of men, you are definitely not spiritually inclined to the "Power of Father God", nor filled with the Holy Spirit who opens your heart and mind to truth through our LORD.

I Corinthians 2:5 says, "That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God." Turn away from the doctrines and traditions of those claiming to be teachers who are not, teaching the fly away, any moment, rapture theories that are not Biblical, understanding these things are foolishness in the mind of our Father. Your faith must be within the Word of Father God Almighty. It is a mystery as to how so many claim to love Father God, yet they do not even know Him since they are not familiar with His Truths which come with studying Chapter by Chapter and Verse by Verse to receive that understanding only Father can give. This demonstrates discipline and obedience to Father God, which is love. Therefore, having the "Power of God" means you have "His Holy Spirit" within you.

I Corinthians 2:6 says, "Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:" This is to have a mature {perfect} mind in Father's Word and not of the things of the world or of the kenites [princes], because you risk your very soul following evil that will lead you straight into the bed of satan {spiritually speaking} when he is cast to this earth as the first/false christ. If your life is void of Father God, your spirit is idle {nought}. You want to cease drinking the milk of Father's Word and get into the meat of His truths as is taught in "Hebrews - Chapter 5." Once you are saved with understanding, there is no need to continue being taught as a babe. It is time to understand why we are living in the flesh and what shall occur on the earth before our True Christ returns to claim His Bride {very elect/elect.}

I Corinthians 2:7 says, "But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, [even] the hidden [wisdom], which God ordained before the world unto our glory:" There are far too many christians who do not understand the Previous or First Earth Age, that we are now living in the Flesh or Second Earth Age and the Heavenly or Third Earth Age is yet to come. Those calling themselves christians do not understand a third of Father's children turned on Him and rebelled with satan in the First Earth Age, and because our Father chose not to destroy them because of it, we all have to be born from above so that third, as well as the third that straddled the fence so to speak, would have the opportunity to repent, accept our Lord Jesus Christ, and return to Father God who created them for His good pleasure. The very elect "stood" with Father during that rebellion and this is why He knows who they are from before the foundation of this Flesh or Second Earth Age as is taught in "Ephesians - Chapter 4." Father God knows His very elect will "stand" once again in this Age against satan when he is cast to the earth as the first/false christ.

I Corinthians 2:8 says, "Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known [it], they would not have crucified the Lord of glory." Father God forewarned satan and the kenites in "Genesis - Chapter 3" that He would "put enmity between his seed and the woman's seed", who is Christ Jesus and the kenites. It was the kenites who bruised the heels {crucifixion} of Christ Jesus and it shall be Christ Jesus who shall bruise the head of satan, which means he will be destroyed, becoming ashes from within {Revelation - Chapter 20]. When you do not study Father's Word, understanding His Truths, you place your spiritual self in jeopardy since that ignorance may cause you to bow down and worship the first/false christ who is satan.

I Corinthians 2:9 says, "But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him." This is a teaching from "Isaiah 64:4 - 8." It is necessary to study and show yourself approved so you wait for our True Christ, receiving the rewards of our Father God, and not fall into the lap of satan in his deception as the first/false christ. Christ Jesus is the "Way, Path, Truth to the Light of Salvation and Eternal Life." We need our Lord since there is no flesh perfect, all falling short through sin, of the glory of Father God who we thank for blessing His children with the opportunity of repentance daily, through Christ Jesus. This is why you do not want to have your eyes on pulpit gurus who keep you from the love of Almighty God through their ignorance and teaching you to be of their like mind. If you do not acknowledge Father God with a pure and loving heart, except for His grace and mercy in your daily living, our LORD will allow you to bow down and worship satan and deal with the repercussions of your actions through the Millennial Kingdom teaching. Give your life to Father God, our Creator, and allow Him to mold you into a child that brings Him the greatest of pleasure. There is only one way to bless Father who owns all of Heaven and Earth, and that is by studying His Word, understanding His Truths and "standing" against satan when he is cast to this earth as the first/false christ to perpetrate the greatest deception ever to be known to mankind.

I Corinthians 2:10 says, "But God hath revealed [them] unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God." "The deep things of God" which are "Father's Truths, His Holy Bible", reveals all things to those who have His Spirit, the Holy Spirit, within them. You come to the knowledge of the Three Earth Ages, what happened in the First Earth Age that required all souls to be born from above into this Second Earth Age, what the sin in the Garden of Eden was, who the kenites are, why our Father God incarnated Himself through Christ Jesus and was born from above, who crucified our Lord Jesus Christ, what the deception is that shall be placed upon this whole earth at the sounding of the Sixth Trumpet, and what shall occur when the "Seventh Trumpet" sounds. Father God loves all of His children and expects each and every one of us to study His Word and come to the knowledge of truth by the blessing of the Holy Spirit, for this is love for our LORD God Almighty, Creator of our very souls. Father's Word is not complicated when you are endowed with His Spirit.

I Corinthians 2:11 says, "For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God." There is not one of us who can look into the mind or another and know what they are thinking. Only the mind of each individual knows what they are thinking about at any given time. However, the Power of Father God knows; all things. There is not one thought that goes through the mind of any one of us upon this whole earth that our Father God does not know. When it comes to humankind, there is not one thing we can hide from our Father God.

I Corinthians 2:12 says, "Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God." You do not want to be a partaker of the things of this world which is surely going to perish, rather, you want to be a part of the Holy Spirit of our Father God, who is Eternal. You want to ask our Father God for the increase of knowledge to understand His Word when you study faithfully, wanting to be one of His very elect who "stands" against satan and his entourage at the appointed time. Just as you speak to any other person in your life, with respect and reverence, speak with Father God who loves to spend time with all of His children, through our Intercessor Christ Jesus, by the blessing of the Holy Spirit.

I Corinthians 2:13 says, "Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Spirit teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual." You will never learn our Father's Words if you are listening to the doctrines and traditions of men, notable with hallelujah corners; see, feel and touch. Each of us are now living in a flesh body, however we have a spiritual self as well. It is our spiritual self that communes with Father God and you do not need any pulpit guru to tell you how, when, why you should speak with our LORD. Father God said through Christ Jesus, "come unto Me [Matthew - Chapter 19]." If you want to understand the Truth of our Father's Word, study to show yourself approved, communing with Father God, spirit to Spirit, praying always through our Living Word, who is Christ Jesus, and receive that increase of knowledge only Father can give. Be prepared for the events that shall bring this Earth Age to its end by spending time with Father God, receiving His blessings as you study to show yourself faithful to our True Christ, which is Father's loving kindness and tender mercy.

I Corinthians 2:14 says, "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." Your flesh self cannot understand the magnificence of our Father God in of itself if your eyes are closed and you have ears that will not hear. If you do not have the Spirit of Father God within you to receive His Truths, it does not matter how many of the very elect minister, that flesh will keep you from Father's Truth.

I Corinthians 2:15 says, "But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man." When you have spiritual understanding of Father's Word, you also have the ability to discern {judgeth} truth from false teachings. Also, when you have truth within your spiritual self and can document that same truth in Father's Word, you can stand against those teaching "their truths." Knowledge comes from being disciplined, which means you are obedient to Father God Almighty.

I Corinthians 2:16 says, "For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ." Christ Jesus taught us the "Way, Path, Truth to the Light of Eternal Life." If you are walking a Christ-like path, our Lord having set the example, you have the ability to discern truth from lies within your spiritual self. Allow your life to be led by the Holy Spirit as you study to show yourself approved that Father God's Word is the "Power" of instruction that leads your direction to be with our LORD through all of the Eternity. "Praise YAHOVAH, Father God Almighty!"

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]."
