Lucifer

26Feb06

Isa 14:12  How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
Eze 28:13  Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.

I believe Lucifer was the very first man God created, the first Pre-Adamic man.  O Lucifer, son of the morning!  Morning means beginning.  Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God.  Eden was originally created in the Preadamic time.  The six days of creation in Genesis was actually six days of recreation after the fall of the Pre-Adamic World.  (See my entry “The Tree of Knowledge of Good & Evil”)  God commanded the garden to grow again for Adam’s time.

Lucifer was a priest before God, he wore a breastplate of gold with nine stones in it.  Compare the breastplate of gold the Levitical priests wore with twelve stones.  Lucifer’s nine were of the twelve in the Levitical priests breastplates.  As with the Levitical priests, Lucifer’s nine stones represented tribes from sons.  I believe this means Lucifer had nine sons.

Lucifer praised God with music & song with the instruments that he made from the talent God put in him at his creation.   Job 38:7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

Lucifer had a strikingly similar activity to Moses during the Pre-Adamic time.

Exo 34:29  And it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai with the two tables of testimony in Moses’ hand, when he came down from the mount, that Moses knew not that the skin of his face shone while he talked with him.
Exo 34:30  And when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come nigh him.
Exo 34:31  And Moses called unto them; and Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation returned unto him: and Moses talked with them.
Exo 34:32  And afterward all the children of Israel came nigh: and he gave them in commandment all that the LORD had spoken with him in mount Sinai.
Exo 34:33  And till Moses had done speaking with them, he put a veil on his face.
Exo 34:34  But when Moses went in before the LORD to speak with him, he took the veil off, until he came out. And he came out, and spoke unto the children of Israel that which he was commanded.
Exo 34:35  And the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses’ face shone: and Moses put the veil upon his face again, until he went in to speak with him.

Eze 28:14    Thou [art] the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee [so]: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
Eze 28:17  Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.

As Moses walked up & down God’s Holy mountain in our world, Lucifer walked up & down God’s Holy mountain in the Pre-Adamic world.  As Moses face shone with the glory of God so did Lucifer’s.  There’s no doubt that the light of God was beautiful & bright.  “….beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness….”  Moses covered his face with a veil, had lucifer done the same maybe his outcome would have been different.   Some people today worship their pastors.  With his face shining with the glory of God the people thought more of him than they should’ve and he accepted it.

Isa 14:13  For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
Isa 14:14  I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

This brought about his fall.  A preacher needs to stay humble.  This is why God gave Paul his thorn in the flesh.

Eze 28:15  Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.
Eze 28:16  By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.

But God is a forgiving God.  I believe God forgave Lucifer one time, He brought Lucifer to repentance.

Eze 28:18  Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffic; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.

In the Old Testament repentance was signified by sitting in ashes & heaping dust on their heads.  When God forgives a person they want to tell about God’s mercy to them.  They become on fire for God.  This is often seen in new converts to Christ.  If God says He going to do something, he does it.  God isn’t a liar.  He clearly said in Eze 28:18 He was going to bring Lucifer to repentance with a consuming fire to praise Him.  He did it!

Lucifer fell a second time from which he became eternally lost.

Isa 14:15  Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
Isa 14:16  They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;
Isa 14:17  That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?
Isa 14:18  All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house.
Isa 14:19  But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcass trodden under feet.
Isa 14:20  Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people: the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned.

I believe Lucifer’s repentance wasn’t accepted well by the Pre-Adamic people.  I don’t think he could handle the rejection and he rebelled against God for it and brought about the destruction of the Pre-Adamic world.

Eze 28:19  All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.


Exodus 32:23  For they said unto me, Make us gods, which shall go before us: for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is become of him.

The people won’t trust in the work of the Cross, so they seek a way of the flesh.  What happened in in Exodus 32 is similar to The Purpose Driven Life.  Aaron compares to Rick Warren here.  Aaron made a god of his own hands while Rick Warren gives us a false way.

Exo 32:25  And when Moses saw that the people were naked; (for Aaron had made them naked unto their shame among their enemies:)

Only the shed Blood of Christ can cover our sins.  Any other way than what Jesus did at the the Cross will leave our sins naked before God.  Only the work of the Cross can clean us up and make the change in us to the image & likeness of God.  A false way will leave us in shame before our enemies, because it won’t work.

Exo 32:7  And the LORD said unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves:
Exo 32:8  They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshiped it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.

Egypt represents the secular world.   The Purpose Driven Life is no more than secular humanism & psychology.

Exo 32:9  And the LORD said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:
Exo 32:10  Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them:

You can see from Exodus 32:7-10 how God feels about false ways & the people who follow & promote them.

Repent, turn to the Cross of Christ, it’s the only way.


Repent

05Feb06

G3340
μετανοέω
metanoeō
Thayer Definition:
1) to change one’s mind, i.e. to repent
2) to change one’s mind for better, heartily to amend with abhorrence of one’s past sins
Part of Speech: verb
Mar 1:15  And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
Repent means to change your mind, to decide to turn to God, to trust in what Jesus did at the Cross to make us right.  We can’t set ourselves free from sin.
 
The notion that we can repent of our sins is wrong, read what Paul says:
Rom 7:23  But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
Rom 7:24  O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
The Apostle Paul said this in his struggle as a born-again Christian.
Rom 7:25  I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

 Jesus the author and finisher of our faith, He gives us a new nature.  Jesus only can purge us of sin. 
Heb 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

I like the part of “despising the shame”, while others may look at us for the sins that we have committed that we have been forgiven for, Jesus despises the shame of them!  Why look to what Jesus despises???  If you don’t forgive Jesus won’t forgive you!  Mat 6:15  But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.  Mat 18:35  So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.  Do you want Jesus to despise you???


Gen 2:9  And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

God didn’t make the tree of knowledge of good and evil & He didn’t want it in the garden.  Jam 1:13  Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man.  Adam was put in the garden to care for it, he should’ve destroyed this tree.   Gen 2:15  And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.

This corrupt tree was genetically engineered in the pre-adamic world.
Mat 7:17  Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
Mat 7:18  A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
After the fall of the pre-adamic world God made the world habitable again. Gen 1:2-1:31.  All the seeds, spores & bulbs from the pre-adamic world were in the ground & strated to grow again at God’s command.
Gen 1:11  And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
Gen 1:12  And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
Unfortunately the genetically engineered plants also began to grow also.  A genetically engineered plant is one who is not “whose seed is in itself”.  A genetically engineered plant produces a seed which is different than the plant from which it is engineered from.

Here are some examples of genetically engineered plants.
Mat 13:38  The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;
Mat 7:16  Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
Tares are poisonous wheat look a likes.  They were most likely engineered from wheat.  A scientific study  of thorns & thistles showed when a thorn start to grow it starts as a branch but suddenly mutates into a thorn.  The same with a thistle, it starts like a flower but mutates into a thistle.

Shaman in South America partake of the bark of a certain tree that has hallucinogenic effects.  They are then able to commune with demon spirits.  I have read of drug addicts that see demon spirits when they are under the influence of drugs.  It is obvious that Adam & Eve had this experience with the tree of knowledge of good and evil.  Gen 3:6-3:11  Drug addicts often experience paranoia, Adam & Eve did.  It was called the tree of knowledge of good and evil because this was the point where they learned about good & evil.  The tree didn’t impart this.  The Bible says whatever God does or makes is good, if God made this tree it would be good & He wouldn’t forbid it from Adam & Eve.


Pillar of Salt

30Jan06

The sin of Sodom wasn’t homosexuality, it was worse,
it was false doctrine.  What could be worse than
saying God sent His Son to die on the Cross in vain?

With the whole city practicing good deeds & high moral
standards to justify themselves before God,  it would
be hard to see the wickedness of the city.
Mat 23:27  Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees,
hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres,
which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within
full of dead men’s bones, and of all uncleanness.

When the angels took Lot, his wife & daughters by the
hands and led them out of the city it was a picture of
the coming rapture of the Church.  Lot’s wife looked
back because she didn’t believe God would destroy such
a beautiful city.  She didn’t look under the good
deeds and see the great wickedness.  
Gal 3:6  Even as Abraham believed God, and it was
accounted to him for righteousness.  To not believe
God can bring the opposite result.  Eze 3:20  Again,
When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness,
and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumbling-block
before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given
him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his
righteousness which he hath done shall not be
remembered; but his blood will I require at thine
hand.
   
When a person’s righteousness is forgotten they loose
their salt.  Mat 5:13 Ye are the salt of the earth:
but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall
it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but
to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.  
That is why is she was “turned into a pillar of salt”.
Actually she perished with Sodom, her salt was left
behind in the form of a pillar.  She lost her
righteousness.  Salt represents righteousness.


Abortion

30Jan06

After the whistle blew at quitting time a
co-worker & I were discussing abortion as we were
walking to the gate. He didn’t see anything wrong
with abortion. I know it is murder. As we exchanged
our opposing viewpoints his final argument was “it
doesn’t matter because when a baby dies it
automatically goes to Heaven”. My mind went blank as
I didn’t know how to respond for I also believed that.
A question suddenly came to mind “Is there another
way?”. I know I didn’t generate that question, it had
to be of God. I knew very well the Bible says Jesus
is the door, what He did at the Cross is the only way.
When I got home I scoured the Bible for answers. 1
Corinthians 7:14 was the answer I found. 1Co 7:14
For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife,
and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband:
else were your children unclean; but now are they
holy. Jimmy Swaggart said God made special provision
for children below the age of accountability, I
believe 1Co 7:14 is that special provision.

I was told of a woman who said of the children
starving to death in third world countries “let them
die, they will automatically go to Heaven”. Abortion
outside of the womb! How can they go to Heaven
without trusting in what Jesus did at the Cross? Is
there another way? If there is then Jesus gave His
life in vain on the Cross.

A missionary’s number one job is to preach the
Cross! They must be grounded in correct doctrine &
supported by a home Church that gives the Holy Spirit
free rein. They need to surround themselves with
people trusting exclusively in the Cross of Christ.
The Cross is the only way those they are feeding &
caring for can escape their plight. Without the
Message of the Cross they are just a feeding station &
a first aid clinic.

A man asked me how can a just God let the
hunger, cruelty & disease in this world happen? I
told him a father is only responsible for his own
children. Until we’re born-again we’re children of
Satan. Satan is worse than an uncaring father, he
wishes everyone was dead & in Hell. God cares for His
own children, all that are trusting in the Cross of
Christ. He also cares for the lost, Jesus gave His
life on the Cross for all. He is the one that sends
the missionaries & preachers. All we have to do is Trust
Him.


Politics is just another word for anyone’s or anything’s policy. There are many forms of government. The most obvious are national, state & city governments. Families & households have governments with the father as the headship. Now days there many single parent households with the mother in leadership. Employers have governments with the personnel or human resource director in charge. Churches have governments with the pastor in charge. I can go on & on, but you get the message.

All of these forms of government have one thing in common. They have policies. These policies are the politics of how they think best to govern. The policies are broken up into individual laws, regulations & rules. Governments are mandated by God. They are for the safety and fair play for & by the people. Unfortunately many (if not all) don’t live up to this mandate and will have to give an account of themselves before God. Churches have the mandate to preach the Cross to all that will listen. This is the distinction of the separation of church & state. This doesn’t mean that Christians can’t vote, run for office or voice their opinion on how the government operates. Christians have the obligation to demand that the government adhere to the Bible’s commandments of fair play (Proper respect for the rules, just and equitable treatment for all). This is because God is The Standard of what is right & wrong.

Religion is just another word for politics. Religion is rules, regulations & laws by which men (mankind not gender) try to make themselves right. Religions are no more than governments. Religious requirements are their policies. Religious politics are their policies they believe will make them righteous.

As you can see there are no difference between religion & politics. They are the same. Christianity is the opposite of both religion & politics. R & P are men’s efforts. As such there will always be arguments & strife. I don’t need to explain why that is. Even a small child can give you that answer. Put two toddlers in a playpen with only one toy. You won’t have to watch very long before you have your answer.

Christianity says men don’t have the answer to men’s problem. Look through out history. What law has solved a problem. What law has never been broken. We’ve had laws against speeding for over 70 years. How many speeding tickets were written today? Jesus paid the penalty on the Cross. It’s what Jesus did at the Cross. It’s what a Man did, the man Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the only sinless perfect sacrifice. God had to give His Son on the Cross as a man to pay men’s sin debt. It wasn’t a matter of policy, it was a necessity! As long as one will cling to the old rugged Cross they will grow in the image & likeness of Jesus. Christianity is not politics! Jesus is not a religion! Jesus is The Answer! The Cross is where it Happened!

Christianity cannot & shouldn’t be forced on anyone!!! It has to be willful!!! Forced Christianity isn’t Christianity!!! Christianity is faith in what Jesus did at the Cross!!! Jesus said “Who so ever will”. Religion will try to force itself on others. Politics forces its will on others.


Know

29Dec05

The word “know” is greatly misunderstood in the Bible. “Know” means knowledge, understanding & hindsight. Hindsight is said to be 20/20 vision and rightly so. In Genesis 4:1″And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD”, knew meant hindsight. When Adam & Eve were kicked out of Eden by God (Genesis 3:24) Adam looked back at all that happened in the garden & considered what he should’ve done. He was put there (5And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man) to till the ground. 15And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and…He was…to keep it. He was to guard It. 28And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. Children should’ve been conceived & raised in the Garden of Eden. Adam should’ve cut down the tree of knowledge of good & evil, even pulled it up by it’s roots & burned it. God didn’t make it, He didn’t want it in the earth. It was genetically engineered in the pre-adamic world. 11And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. 12And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good. Genetically engineered isn’t “whose seed is in itself.” When God made the earth habitable again after “Lucifer’s flood” all the seeds, bulbs and spores of the pre-adamic world were in the ground and all stared to grow again. That’s why he was to “subdue it.” The first thing Adam could do to be in obedience to God was to “Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.” “Conceived” indicates they were intimate, not “knew”.
Genesis 19:5And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them. When the people of Sodom saw the two men go into Lot’s house they wanted to know whose side they were on. 13For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the LORD; and the LORD hath sent us to destroy it. Cry means to ask for help. The people of Sodom were asking help from God against Lot. Lot was sent to them by God. How stupid of them! If one man (Lot) is too much for them, then how much greater would three men be in telling them that the Purpose Driven Life is “filthy Conversation”?! Trying to justify themselves through good deeds & high moral values is “unrighteous deeds”. 2 Peter 2:7And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: 8(For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)
It seems that some men in the Bible may have misunderstood “know”. 8Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof. However that might not be the case here. Religion is easily offended. Lot may have used “know” so as not to offend them by any reference to sex. I told a man that Adam & Eve should’ve had children in the garden, he relied “No, they were to pure”. Wrong, sex was designed by God, God doesn’t make anything evil. Any good thing can be used for evil or in a wrong way. Christianity is hardly offended: John 3:17For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. Religion says we have to earn righteouness, christianity says we can’t earn it, God provided it through Jesus on the Cross!!! Praising God is good conversation, sending a preacher to preach & teach the Cross is a righteous deed.


And there were also sodomites in the land
1 Kings 14: 24And there were also sodomites in the land: and they did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD cast out before the children of Israel. Deuteronomy 18:10There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch. 11Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. 12For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee.
And there were also sodomites in the land
The Purpose Driven Life, Jesus Died Spiritually, Promise Keepers, etc. are abominations unto the LORD.
Joyce Meyer said you won’t find Jesus Died Spiritually in the Bible, it has to be revealed to you. Who revealed it to her? ….or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch. Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer?
Who revealed it to Kenneth Copeland Jesus burned in hell And was born-again in hell? ….or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch. Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer?
Where did Rick Warren get the Purpose Driven Life? ….or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch. Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer?
The angel that gave Joseph Smith the Book of Mormon? …. or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch. Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer?
Sounds like the people of Sodom had the same spirit as Rick Warren, Joyce Meyer, Ken Copeland, Joseph Smith, Robert Shuller & many others today.
The people of Sodom were cast out of the land by fire & brimstone. Sodom means fire. Put a “y” after it & you get fiery (Sodomy). They were on fire for their false doctrine to the point of seeking to convert strange flesh. The Purpose Driven Life is spreading like wildfire across this nation. The same thing was going on in Noah’s time (before the flood) that was going on in Sodom. When the rapture takes place the same will be happening. In fact what happened in Sodom represented the last days where Lot & his daughters were “raptured out” amongst the “Purpose Driven Life, etc.” in Sodom. How far away can the Rapture be????


MURMURING

29Dec05

Recently listening to SonLife Radio a woman called in & said she started voting Republican with the senior Pres. Bush, but now she’s going to go back voting for Democrats. The man on SonLife Radio seemed to aprove of her decision. Murmuring! There is a great amount of murmuring against our President!
Friday night I heard a man say he was now against the war. He came close to murmuring. His mother told about seeing a soldier that lost both his arms in the news. That was heart breaking to hear. I’m against the mutilation & death because of this war! If we stop now Iraq will be taken over by Moslem madman. If we succeed Iraq will be taken over by an Islamic madman because of the Koran Constitution just as your mother said.  Bush doesn’t know what to do. Murmuring makes the problem greater. Murmuring against Pres. Bush can cause him to make mistakes. Read the scriptures below:
Exd 16:2 And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness:
Num 20:10 And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock?
Psa 106:33 Because they provoked his spirit, so that he (Moses) spake unadvisedly with his lips.
We shouln’t be murmuring! We need to pray for our nation’s leaders! They need our (Christians) help through prayer. Pray that Pres. George W Bush acknowledges this war is a religious war. Ask God to guide him in what he should do.
Don’t murmur! Warn this world against murmuring.
