Speaking
of the 4th
of July

So I thought to myself, what do
people think God feels about the statue of Liberty?
I pondered,
are there many who would even wonder such a thing? Are there those
who care or consider?
It is a touchy sensitive subject I
say.
After all, the Statue of Liberty is a goddess. Not just any
goddess, but one of a great horrible history even recorded in
scripture. She has been known by many titles and names throughout
the world. But Israel and Judah held her in high regard among the
long list of many gods and goddesses they worshiped. Jeremiah said
they had more gods than cities, and altars to them than streets.
You
can read for your self what God said and felt about it. Look up
“Queen of Heaven” in your concordance and read through
the 5 different texts about this goddess and how the people were
devoted to her. Of course, there are demons behind the gods and
their images.
As the gospel of Jesus came forth long ago,
those called to herald the message to the entire world warned of few
things. They did not promote the passing away old covenant and its
laws. No. But they warned to keep yourself from idols. It is a
world full of them. Beware. Take heed. Even the very Spirit of God
would tell you that if you had ears to hear His voice.
God is
so offended by false gods. He grieves and becomes provoked to anger
He says. He knows the way of the gods and goddesses is the way of
destruction and anguish. It leads to the judgment of God Almighty
upon those who give love and adoration to them.
God even said
when He called the people out of Egypt to go into a promised land, He
spoke nothing about sacrifices and offerings, but about hearkening to
His voice! “Obey My voice”, He said.
“Obey
My voice”, He still says!
“For
I spake not unto your fathers, nor commanded them in the day that I
brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or
sacrifices:
But
this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be
your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways that
I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you.
But
they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the
counsels and
in
the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward, and not
forward.” Jeremiah
7:22-24.
The worship of the
Queen of Heaven goddess led to the desolation of the land. It
brought famine, war, death and imprisonment in a foreign land. They
grieved God and became alienated from Him. The very worse thing a
person could have I believe.
But who cares?
So what
does God think today, as the multitudes celebrate again the 4th
of July? Most people don't even recall what the day represented
anymore. The headlines said so today.
God is judging again. The
time has come when enough was enough. The people have largely
forsaken God the fountain of Living Waters. They have dug up for
themselves all manner of false gods and comforts to replace Him.
This is done by the world and its vanities, pleasures, money, or even
false spiritual masters that tickle ears with pseudo messages.
Make no mistake about it. Liberty, grace, and freedom came
from God as a gift of blessing. But the majority of people have
turned Him away for countless other things. Gods, goddesses, and
even godlessness have replaced God. Jesus has been rejected, denied,
and also replaced by such falsehoods. This is the spirit of
antichrist. Anything that denies Him, replaces Him, and turns toward
the way of unrighteousness is antichrist.
This is where we are
at today in the world. The religious world is the same. So few, a
remnant, have loved the Lord and kept themselves from this
perversity. They know and understand what is underway in the land.
They are not deceived by lying words that come to assuage the wrath
of God that burns. No, they are hiding in Him, abiding in Him,
loving Him. They are the ones that have nothing to do with the Queen
or other masters of wickedness.
You can easily observe how
callous the masses have become in their sin. They don't recognize
the Spirit of God is grieved and now quenched. They do not realize
the wrath of God has caused the various judgments to manifest in this
very day. They are deluded and have believed many lies.
This
in itself is a judgment from God.
God has brought
unprecedented events as a judgment to the people. He is dealing with
the religious professing Christians, the Church Goers. They
have become hardened, unfaithful, silly, worldly, and even
idolatrous. They have followed other masters who have led them
another way.
Jesus asked some questions you might consider.
If the blind lead the blind shall they not go into the ditch? Can
there be good fruit from a corrupt tree?
Jesus declared how
no one, no one, puts new wine into an old wine skin. Certainly not
God! He also stated that those who drink the old wine prefer it over
the new wine. Hmmm, what is Jesus telling everyone? Do they care?
Do they want what He is suggesting comes from Him? Or, are they
comfortable in the dainties of this world thinking they have
prospered and have need of nothing just like the Laodecians? (The
Peoples' Judgment= Lao decian)
The godless are bankrupt. They
may just not know it yet. Judgment is here today. God shut down the
churches. People thought it was a virus. Or, they believed the lies
that it was to protect them until their savior rite of a vaccine
arrives. Some know that there is an insidious plan operating to
bring world control and it is also against Christianity. The truth
is, what evil men have done will turn out for the better for those
who truly love God. And that is why God shut down the churches
worldwide giving all the opportunity to seek Him first, in secret,
and hear His voice.
The way it was supposed to be all
along.
But do they? Will they? How bad does it have to get
to get people to repent and turn from their evil ways? We will find
out. God will find out that is.
Have there been many who
have come to their rightful senses in God? Have religious hypocrites
repented of their lukewarmness? Or, of being an spiritual adulteress
loving the world as God's hostile enemy? How about their idolatry
and toleration of the gods and goddesses they love?
Here we
are again, on yet another 4th of July. Pictures and
allusions to the Queen, the Statue of Liberty, abound today. What
does God think? Again, it's a touchy subject with God. This is the
goddess His people chose over Him long ago. Nothing is new under the
sun.
And God has risen up to judge. Fear Him! Repent and
return to Him. Hear His voice. Walk in His ways which is
Jesus.
Or, the wrath of God will completely obliterate you one
way or another. The deception is here. God has sent the delusion to
the world.* And the church world gets it first! God said so.
Judgment begins in the house of the Lord. And if the righteous
scarcely be saved, wherein shall the ungodly appear?
That's a
good question Peter asked in scripture. This is likely part of the
scriptures cut out of peoples' bible as they so often do in a paper
cutting bible. Not literally. But figuratively, in spiritual
reality.
So, if you hear and ponder these things, you now know
why God is doing what He is doing, and realize just why the
destructive desolations of every kind have come.
Liberty is
in Christ. There can be no freedom outside of faithful abiding in
Him. Though people try, everyone will know that a sinner is a slave.
But he that the Son makes free is free indeed. But the Statue
goddess of Liberty is coming to an end. All of her ways and false
freedom of every man doing what is right in their own eyes is coming
to a halt. God is destroying the gods and goddesses of the world.
And He is judging now in the religious churches that have mocked
Him.
God used a man named Elijah to deal with the idolatry of
the religious. They had to decide between God as God, or the cultish
Baal as god. You can't have two. Choose. This is what God is doing
NOW.
Come down Oh wicked Harlot! Be dashed in pieces by the
word of the Lord. Burn, be crushed every bit of all your images,
lusts, and ways. Your doctrines and spirit be banished from the
earth.
Arise Oh God and destroy your enemies. Your judgments
are ripe and so due Oh Lord. Even so, Come Lord Jesus!
