The Whore
and the Wolf |
1. WHAT IS A WHORE LIKE?Genesis 38:24 And it came to pass about three months after, that it was told Judah, saying, Tamar thy daughter in law hath played the harlot; and also, behold, she is with child by whoredom. And Judah said, Bring her forth, and let her be burnt.
Exodus 34:15 Lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they go a whoring after their gods, and do sacrifice unto their gods, and one call thee, and thou eat of his sacrifice; 16 And thou take of their daughters unto thy sons, and their daughters go a whoring after their gods, and make thy sons go a whoring after their gods.
|
Leviticus 17:7 And they shall no more offer their sacrifices unto devils, after whom they have gone a whoring. This shall be a statute for ever unto them throughout their generations.
Devils invite whoring.
I Tim. 4:1-3- Beware the Whore's extra-biblical Mishna.
Please look up the references given in the notes as you move along.Numbers 14:33 And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted in the wilderness. 34 After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise.
Doubt and fear of Satan is whoredom. Why?
Ans: It gives authority to Satan as greater than God.Deuteronomy 31:16 And the LORD said unto Moses, Behold, thou shalt sleep with thy fathers; and this people will rise up, and go a whoring after the gods of the strangers of the land, whither they go to be among them, and will forsake me, and break my covenant which I have made with them.
Going to strange religion results in two things. What are they?
1. Forsaking God.
2. Breaking covenant. What is the New Testament Covenant?Discuss the Christian era parallel.
Judges 8:27 And Gideon made an ephod thereof, and put it in his city, even in Ophrah: and all Israel went thither a whoring after it: which thing became a snare unto Gideon, and to his house.
Compare the end of Gideon to his earlier victory.
What is the lesson to us?
What are the end times fetishes?
Are they religious?
What do YOU lean on? Denominations? Colleges? Seminaries? TV preachers?
I Cor. 9:24-27II Kings 9:22 And it came to pass, when Joram saw Jehu, that he said, Is it peace, Jehu? And he answered, What peace, so long as the whoredoms of thy mother Jezebel and her witchcrafts are so many?
What is associated with religious whoredom?
Answer: No peace!II Chronicles 21:12 (To Jehoram) And there came a writing to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, Thus saith the LORD God of David thy father, Because thou hast not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat thy father, nor in the ways of Asa king of Judah,
13 But hast walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and hast made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to go a whoring, like to the whoredoms of the house of Ahab, and also hast slain thy brethren of thy father's house, which were better than thyself:Who is calling the righteous to whoredom here?
Jews, Israel.
Who will most likely call the saints to whoredom today?
Amos 3:3- Both of the "two" are Jews.
Mt. 26:14- 16; Luke 22:4 Judas was from the 12! Very religious.
Did the disciples suspect him? Who did he turn TO when he left Christ?Who have Colson and Van Impe turned TO?
Luke 8:13-14- Do they look like wheat or tares?John 6:66-69- When did Peter really distinguish himself by his faith and "confession"?
AFTER the offended whorish disciples left!
II Thess. 2:1-3- Is it possible to arrive at the day of gathering to Christ without separating from whorish Christians?Discuss. Any other texts?
I Tim. 1:19-20- What is a chief characteristic of those who go to the Whore?
They reject their conscience.
Discuss. Any examples?So, what will they think of YOUR separation? They are threatened.
What is the destiny of true believers who reject the Bride and the holy life?
Ans: Company with Satan!
I Tim. 4:1 with I John 2:18-19 & 2:24-26; I John 4:3-5;II John 1:7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. 8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. 9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
Psalms 73:27 For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee.
28 But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works.How many categories are there?
Psalms 106:36 And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them.
37 Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils,
38 And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood.
39 Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions.
40 Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance.Was God angry with the Philistines?
Do we need the devil to go whoring?
No, we can chase Whores all by our selves.Jeremiah 3:8 And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also.
9 And it came to pass through the lightness of her whoredom, that she defiled the land, and committed adultery with stones and with stocks.Do you see a church today that is divorced?
Rev. 3:14-16- It is a spewed (vomited) church. Same principle. It is a damned church. It is God's vomit.Ezekiel 16:1 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations,Ezekiel 16:15 But thou didst trust in thine own beauty, and playedst the harlot because of thy renown, and pouredst out thy fornications on every one that passed by; his it was.
16 And of thy garments thou didst take, and deckedst thy high places with divers colours, and playedst the harlot thereupon: the like things shall not come, neither shall it be so.
17 Thou hast also taken thy fair jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given thee, and madest to thyself images of men, and didst commit whoredom with them,
18 And tookest thy broidered garments, and coveredst them: and thou hast set mine oil and mine incense before them.Does this remind you of any church today?
Colors? Vestments and sacred coverings?Ezekiel 16:24 That thou hast also built unto thee an eminent place, and hast made thee an high place in every street.
25 Thou hast built thy high place at every head of the way, and hast made thy beauty to be abhorred, and hast opened thy feet to every one that passed by, and multiplied thy whoredoms.Discuss grottos in Roman Catholic lands. What about churches as monuments? Steeples?
Ezekiel 16:31 In that thou buildest thine eminent place in the head of every way, and makest thine high place in every street; and hast not been as an harlot, in that thou scornest hire;32 But as a wife that committeth adultery, which taketh strangers instead of her husband! 33 They give gifts to all whores: but thou givest thy gifts to all thy lovers, and hirest them, that they may come unto thee on every side for thy whoredom.
Rome asks no payment from Colson and Van Impe.
Indeed they will actually reward these men for joining them.
Do they pay? Yes, in the end. They pay with their souls.Ephesians 5:1 Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;
2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.
3 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;
4 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.
5 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them.
8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:What is the destiny of those who go whoring?
Hell.
There is no mercy if they do not repent.
Heb. 6:1-6- Why will Billy Graham go to Hell?
Ans. Because he
(1) left the truth, and
(2) He put Christ and the Gospel to open shame. He finally exalted Buddha and laughed at Hell.Proverbs 6:23 For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
24 To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.God's Word will result in what?
Ans: We will reject the flattery of false religion.
Discuss: Do we do this? Or do we bask in their compliments?25 Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids. 26 For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adultress will hunt for the precious life.
What is the end of those who go to the Whore?
Ans: Poverty.27 Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?
28 Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?
29 So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent.
30 Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry;
31 But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house.
32 But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul.What must we conclude about Graham, Van Impe, and Colson?
Ans: They are very dumb. They are stupid fools.33 A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away.
34 For jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance.
35 He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts.God will not forget or forgive the whoring of those who have known the Truth and abandoned it.
So what are we doing showing them mercy? Discuss.Proverbs 23:26 My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways.
27 For a whore is a deep ditch; and a strange woman is a narrow pit.
28 She also lieth in wait as for a prey, and increaseth the transgressors among men.Is there a Whore waiting for you?
Yes!
Will you listen to her flatteries?
2.
SOLOMON ON THE WHORE- COMPARE
WITH THE WHORE OF REVELATION:
Proverbs 7:1 My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee.
2 Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye.
3 Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart.
4 Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman:
5 That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger which flattereth with her words.Whores use flatteries.
Dan. 11:32-34- After 6000 years of deceiving men, what does Satan choose?
John Paul II- How great men crave an audience with him!
How many preachers are so flattered if they are asked to introduce some dead head speaker at a banquet!6 For at the window of my house I looked through my casement,
Is this in Philistia?
7 And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding,
Those who go after the Whore-- Simple minded and stupid. This must be said.
8 Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house,
What is the obvious step to avoid the Whore?
Ans: Go another way through life. Story of the guy with the porn problem.
A man had a porn problem. He told his pastor that every time he walked by the porn store on the way to work that he was terribly tempted. He asked for prayer. His pastor asked an obvious question: "Could you go another way to work?" The man was a bit miffed at this question. You see, the man liked to be near the Whore, but he wanted victory ultimately. What a fool.
What about you? Could YOU go another way to find Christian fellowship?
Are you hanging around the Whore Church?9 In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night:
Are those chasing the Whore getting light? Apply Colson. John 3:19
10 And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart. 11 (She is loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house:
12 Now is she without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.)Apply John Paul II who wanders the world seducing men. How about his attire?
13 So she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face said unto him,
14 I have peace offerings with me; this day have I payed my vows.She is religious, she is a Jew, she has been to the temple! She has an indulgence.
15 Therefore came I forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee.
She lies. She claims God sent her to give you the Truth.
Apply TBN.16 I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved works, with fine linen of Egypt.
17 I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.Where have we seen cinnamon before?
Exodus 30:22-25- Everything is anointed, right? Where? TBN, Pentecostals.
Also, who has oil on every pulpit?
Ans: Pentecostals. Why?18 Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning: let us solace ourselves with loves.
Who preaches a "Love Gospel" with no accountability for sin?
19 For the goodman is not at home, he is gone a long journey:
II Peter 3:4-14- What are the two outlooks?
1. "Where is the promise of his coming?"
Versus:
2. Purity, KNOWING He is coming soon.20 He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed.
21 With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him.
22 He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;
23 Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life.If you could talk to Jack Van Impe and the men who have joined the TBN and RC Whore, would they believe you?
Would you expect them to have any fear?24 Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth.
25 Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths.
26 For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her.
27 Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.What is the destination of those who exalt the Whore?
Is "Mother Teresa" a good woman? No? Are you sure?
3. NOW,
NOTICE THE UNCANNY PARALLEL
OF THE WHORE OF REVELATION--
WITH THE WHORE
IN PROVERBS WE JUST SAW.
Revelation 17:1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.Wine is sweet. It is the sign of good living. It also makes men drunk.
They become simple and think they are being profound.
Have you ever tried to carry on a conversation with an intellectual drunk?
Was it fun.
I flew all the way from Nairobi to London once sitting nexty to a very drunk old lady intellectual.
What a drag!3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
4 And the woman was 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:Discuss the pomp of the Whore--
Roman Catholic as well as the TBN, 700 Club, Brownsville, Anglican, and world church decked out.
Did you ever notice how dead Whore churches need robes and altar hangings to create awe in the faithful?
There is something vulgar about a preacher who puts his shirt on backwards to get respect.5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
There is a mystery in the Whore system.
Note the comma after "mystery."
There is no such thing as "mystery Babylon." There is a mystery--
It is Babylon the Great. Babylon's religion is gone-- Or, is it?One mystery of Babylon is that the Whore / goddess of Babylon is still with us.
Mary of Rome, Gaia, Shiva and Kali of India, Mithra of the New Age, and many more.Another mystery of Babylon is that the old spiritual center will return to physical Babylon.
Saddam Hussein has rebuilt it, and Rick Joyner, Paul Cain, and the Pope are preparing for the return.
Read about it in Zechariah 5-- The woman and the ephah
We are close, and we should begin to understand.
All world religion will unite under the Name of "Christ," but a mongrel "Christ."A third mystery would be the "MOTHER" and "HARLOT" picture.
Roman Catholicism is NOT the "MOTHER" though they call themselves a Mother Church.
Babylon the Great, the primal religion of Sumer and Shinar, courtesy of Nimrod and Semaramis--
THAT is the "MOTHER" That is the madam of the whorehouse of Satan.
The Roman Church is an "HARLOT"......
As are the World Council of Churches, big denominations, TV evangelist groups, and all seminaries.They will give all their Christianity to Satan through the Whore.
Are YOU in a whore fellowship? Why?
Do YOU belong to a "Mother" church? If so, you are damned to hell with that WHORE!
Get our and get into the "Bride" church.6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
Is the emerging world religious system a small colorless thing?
7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.Can you see why Van Impe and Graham can so quickly exalt the Pope?
Discuss: Who are we tempted to exalt in our lives and neighborhood?
Chuck Swindol, Charles Stanley, John Noble, limp wristed churches nearby?
Is it charitable to reject them out of hand?
Ans: YES!9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.What is a hall mark of the coming world religion?
Ans: It is secular. It draws political power like rotten meat draws flies.14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
Whore lovers are in a controversy with whom?
Ans: Christ!
So, why should we give them one shred of tolerance?15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
How far will the Whore religion reach?
Ans: All men and their religions.
Is John Paul off to a good start? Assisi. Courting Israel.
Pray at shrines in every nation.16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.Who put it into the heart of Van Impe, Billy Graham, and Colson to chase the Pope?
Ans: God.
Now, what is the difference between you and Billy Graham?
What has God put in your heart?
If it is zeal for Christ in holiness, why would you want to cozy up to the Whore and be patient with this depraved mind which God has lead to confusion and has damned?18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
Rome?
Only partly. I think this the the Whore when she moves to Jerusalem to reign.Revelation 18:1 And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.
2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.True saints do what with the Whore?
Ans: Flee the wrath to come.
Is this only the Roman Whore?
Ans: NO, it is all apostates.
Could they be Baptists and Fundamentalists by brand name?
Ans: YES, and some are. Visit to Aetna Calvary Church last week.5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
How can you tell that Whore lovers are damned to Hell?
Ans: The sins of true saints are not remembered by God!
Think hard about that fact.6 Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.
7 How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.This is NOT only the RC Church. Discuss.
8 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.
9 And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,
10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:
12 The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,
13 And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.
14 And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all.
15 The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,
16 And saying, Alas, alas that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!
17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!
19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.What is the richness of the Whore? Real Estate, bank accounts, gems, and food.
What is the richness of the true Bride?
James 2:5; compare Rev. 2:8-9 with 3:17 20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.What should be our emotion when a Pope dies or a Whore church burns?
Rejoice!21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.
Do we do violence to the Whore system? II Cor. 10:4
Revelation 18:22 And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;
23 And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.Should we forget the Inquisition, Latimer, Ridley, or Cranmer?
No, and we should remind the Whore of them.
We should teach our little children that the Whore religious system is wicked.
The Pope's confession of the killing of the Jews is not repentance. Why?
Because he still invites the world to eat Jesus every day at the Mass.Revelation 19:1 And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God: 2 For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.
We will sing and rejoice over the destroyed Whore one day.
Should we be patient or tender to her today?3 And again they said, Alleluia And her smoke rose up for ever and ever.
4 And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia.
5 And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great.
6 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.Handel's Messiah should have another chorus about the burning of the Whore.
7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.Can you get a picture of the Bride of Christ going round to the Whore for a cup of tea just before the Rapture of the Church?
NO! There is no meeting between the two.Revelation 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. 7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
9 And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.
10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,(After giving the physical description of the city.....)
Revelation 21:22 And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.
24 And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.
25 And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there. 26 And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.
27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.Is it a lie to say that the Pope is a great evangelist of the Gospel of Christ?
So, Billy Graham is going to Hell along with Van Impe and Colson.
Mr. B told me last week that he was afraid I would become like Elijah if I didn't stop deciding about all of these men who chase the Whore.
I would rather err as Elijah than as Samson or Jonah.
I would rather end up grumpy by the Brook Cherith than talking to a jackass like Balaam.
In fact, I would rather be the Jack Ass, if that kept me from making a fool of myself.And how did Elijah get to feeling alone?
Ans: By fighting the devil and taking his licks from the Whore of Jerusalem. AMEN!
And, did God rebuke Elijah for feeling alone?
NO, he restored him.
God was quite pleased with the zeal of Elijah.
Mr. B paid me quite a compliment.3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:
4 And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.The Whore crowd takes the mark of the Beast.
5 And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.
6 And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.
7 Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.What does it mean to keep His sayings in regard to the Whore?
Come out of her.
Touch not the unclean thing.
Mark those which cause division and offense.
Avoid them.
Do not bid them God speed.
Don't eat with them.
Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness.
Teach the difference between the profane and the holy.
Deliver them over to Satan.Do we have a choice?
Ans: NO. To tolerate and show patience with the Whore religious world is wicked.
4. HOW WILL THE
WHORE COME TO YOU?
ANSWER: STUDY WOLVES!
Matthew 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.What is this sheep's clothing?
Orthodox confession, creeds, and teaching of a "prophet," not a crook.
Religious manners. Christian image.16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.What are the fruits they produce? Discuss.
Matthew 10:16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.
Why are we at war with the wolf so much?
Ans: God has chosen to put us right in the middle of the war.
Are you satisfied with that?
Does God provide a way of escape?
Ans: Yes, His wisdom.
Our serpent-like wisdom gives us a keen sense of Satan's devices, and we bite back.Our dove-like nature never hurts the innocent or redeemable.
How can we make a difference?
By the help of the Holy Spirit.
Must we do this?
Jude verse 3-4 and 22-25- You cannot expect to be presented faultless if you won't take up the task of BOTH the serpent and the dove.17 But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues;
This is for the Messianic era, but the principle is timeless.
Don't trust men in general. John 2:23-24
Charity to wolves is madness.
John 10:11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
12 But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.
13 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.What will you do when the wolf comes?
Will you run?
The wolf will devour the sheep.Acts 20:29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.The worst wolves are the ones in sheep's clothing. You may not like it, but for the rest of your life you will have to obey the next two words.
31 Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.
Will they listen to your warnings?
Ans: Most of them won't.
They will prefer to give heed to seducing spirits.
Can you give up?
NO! You may be the only one who can recognize the wolf.32 And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.
What is the key to survival in this wolfish world?
The Word.
Do you read it every day?
Do you take it absolutely and literally?
You have no chance to survive without it.Psalms 119:105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
Implied: It's dark out there, and you get light only from the Word.
Beware of the Whore who calls to you in the dark.
