...(are now called Israel)....even unto the keeping of the Sabbath , for no longer are any counted as a Jew who are Jews only in the outward requirements of circumcision and fleshly kinship , instead they that are Jews are also they that are circumcised of their heart , for we are Jews made by the blood of Christ......It is written that there are those who say they are Jews but are not for they lie........There are those that say they know Christ , yet they are blasphemous in so speaking when their heart are uncircumcised and they are devoid of the fruits of the Spirit , in works they deny Him , they are reprobate concerning the Truth.......My brethren , the Word of God reveals , for He gives us to understand that the Sabbath , namely the holy seventh day , is for ALL Israel , both Jew and them that were strangers....." The Lord God which gathers the outcasts of Israel says , Yet will I gather others to him , besides those that are gathered to him."....He also sais He shall judge His house first read on brethren...."All you beasts of the field , come to devour , yea, all you beasts in the forrest." because Israel is astray and there are none take it too heart , though the Truth is told them , yet will they not listen?.....Though many watch the signs of approaching trouble and understand it is near , because their understanding sleeps they perceive not it comes for them.....They perceive it not , they are as blindmen who stumble while it is yet day , many have not sought out the Spirit of Council and of understanding , they have instead , interpreted after the manner of their own heart , and in so walking have stumbled and fallen headlong......"His watchmen are blind , they are all ignorant ," (of the Truth) "they are all dumb dogs , they cannot bark," (To sound the warning , for they beleive they shall know only peace and they shall be raptured out of the way and escape tribulation , in their uncleaness.) "sleeping , lying down , loving to slumber."......Verses 11 and 12 are quite explicit......"(11)...Yea , they are greedy dogs which can never have enough ,"..(Ever learning , but never coming to a knowledge of the Truth.)..."and they are shepherds that cannot understand,"(blind , leaders of those that are blind.)..."they all look to their own way , every one for for his gain , from his quarter."....(They are not followers of the Way of Truth , being deaf and blind , they hear not the Teacher nor see they the Truth in the Word of God , indeed do they walk after the way of their own doctrines ,walking also in their own righteousness , for their own gain , that they be right even calling God a liar , for in lying against the Truth they have gone out of the Way , according to their own interpretation , indeed do they look to their quarter)...."(12)..Come ye , say they , I will fetch wine , and we will fill ourselves with strong drink , "..(Indeed it is true , for the shepherds say; Come , let us gather together , let us be filled with the Spirit , let us sing praises to God , let us hold a mighty praise service.)..."and tomorrow shall be as this day , and much more abundant.".......And so do many indeed say brethren , for wherein their is much merit in meeting together and praising God in mighty praise and being filled with the Holy Spirit , there is a lot wrong with the scenario when those giving praise do not walk after Christ Jesus day by day , and continue in defiling the Sabbath , whilst observing Easter and Christmas , then interpreting the Word of God in such a way as to uphold these abominations ,and many know not the Lord , nor he them in that ongoing intimacy , of prayerfully seeking him in every way on every day come what may to let Him say , what is the Way , they should know Him as a bride knows her husband,wanting only to talk with Him all the time , to have Him with them every moment of every waking hour , we have a blood covenant with Him as surely as a bride does with her husband , many are they that accept His gifts freely given , as a husband gives good gifts to his bride , and He longs for that intimacy , but many grieve his heart , they wont talk with Him , nor walk in the Way with Him , will not seek Him out when they are tempted , they sit at the table of bread and wine only occasionally , he yearns to know them intimately , but behold He knows them not , He gives them fine gifts , they take and use them , casting out demons in His name , healing many in His name , and many like wonders and miracles do they do in His name , but in that intimacy of that close walk He so desires of them , He knows them not , He longs to give them oil for their lamps to light their way , but they hardly ever seek Him indeed , let alone talk with Him , He remembers their first love and it grieves Him that they have forgotten their first love , He has longed for them to ask Him to guide their understanding , for them to walk beside Him , to ask what they will of Him that He should teach them , even as , at the beginning , Adam and Eve walked with Him in the garden , sharing an intimacy with Him of such close bonds of love , how often they walked with Him and talked often , untill they turned their hearts from Him , and followed another , and their own way they chose to follow , but now the Way to eternal life is open to all that accept and believe , but many again grieve Him , for they will not walk with Him often , nor ask of Him , nor accept His guidance , O Israel , why , why do you grieve Him so? Tears well up in my eyes for you , I sigh in perplexity for so many brethren that have fallen fast asleep , what honour He has bestowed upon you to spread His wonderful Gospel throughout the earth , look at what astounding gifts has He showered on you , pouring out His Spirit , allowing you to heal many in His name , even the demons flee as they are cast forth in His name , and many other wonders are done in you in Jesus name , but in a closer more intimate walk for which He has longed to know you on a more intimate intensity , a closer walk with Him , than you do now , behold he knows you not , for many have left their first love , have become strangers , like an estranged wife who neither talks nor walks anymore in the intimacy they once knew with their Redeemer, they are the sleeping virgins who cannot hear the groom , neither seeking nor asking , they go on praising and glorifying God , mighty in gifts of the Spirit casting forth devils , healing the sick and the broken hearted , performing many wonders in His name , but , O Israel , my beloved brethren , He knows you not as He really wants to know you , you say you are rich because of what He has given you , you are clothed , because of His righteousness , but more importantly you say you have need of nothing , one who sleeps is not aware , many of you are not aware of that which you lack , you have not remained awake , continuelly prayerful , walking closely with the Lord , talking oft times with Him , being taught continuelly by the Teacher of all Truth , like the five foolish virgins , who did not awaken until the cry went out , " Behold the Bridegroom comes," your lamps had gone out and there was no oil in them , the oil is the annointing of the Holy Spirit , if your lamps are to remain full , you must walk continuelly in Him , close to Him at all times , in a close intimacy with Him that you know Him and He knows you , from whence comes the oil for your lamp? is it not from Him , by the annointing of the Holy Spirit?...an intimate walk with Him means walking in , listening to , being taught by ,and continuelly seeking out the instruction of ,receiving from , resisting temptation in the power of , treading the Way of all Truth at the leading of , feeding on the Word of God under the guidance of , ......The Life that should dwell continuely in you , which be He , THE HOLY SPIRIT , the OIL IN YOUR LAMP...........o my precious brethren , I cry and I sigh in my heart for you who have been as one who has fallen asleep , opening the ears of the deaf , yet you are as one dull of hearing , opening the eyes of the blind , yet you are as one that is blind , you are rich in gifts from the One who loves you , yet you are as poor in understanding of His Truth , He has furnished your needs , so much that you say you have need of nothing , but you do not know that you are indeed miserable , poor blind and naked.........What is it you lack?...You have not seen it because you do not want to look at it for it is that very same thing many reject and dismiss , and that for lack of a firm knowledge of His Truth , and because of the lack of a full intimacy you place yourself beyond hearing , and cover your eyes from seeing clearly , he calls to His beloved , but she is asleep loving to slumber she cannot hear nor see clearly , what you lack cannot be dedication and commitment in spreading the gospel for this you have , it cannot be lack of love for your brother to lift him up to lead him to Christ Jesus , this you have , it cannot be lack of praise and worship for this many have exelled in , it cannot be missionary zeal many have shown a mighty zeal in missions , it cannot be that you do not gather yourselves together in fellowship , you do , in councelling you lack not , giving of charity you lack not , forgiving others this you do , in healings you lack not neither in casting forth demons , yea, in this and any other wonders you lack not , in all these you do fulfill the law which sais , Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself , but , O Israel you withhold part of your love from God , because of this He does not know you as much as he wants to , because that complete intimacy is lacking you do not speak with Him as often as you should , neither do you constantly seek the face of your Lord , to teach you always , in this you lack , to walk in all His Way , in that you lack , to present to Him pure undefiled worship , in this you lack , in doctrine many seek their own , or follow that which is defiled of long ago , and many know it not , for you were asleep being unaware of what lay buried in the fabric of your doctrines , even the wall of the temple that men have built beside His behold it has seperated you from His truth , and indeed where is the mortar wherewith you have daubed it , your great faith , which is the mortar binding you together, has very little strength for His Truth is the strength of faith , can such a wall stand when trouble comes? now it bulges and falls when tribulation comes , you know it not for you see the error as Truth , and at the Truth you are offended , you look with the eyes of an adulteress fondly at the customs and traditions and have not turned from them back to your betrothed , and embraced to you His Truth , dearly beloved brethren , you know not that you are indeed , miserable of condition , poor , in the midst of plenty you lack , for towards God whom you say you honour , you look not , in the Truth you are poor indeed , are you not blind , opening the eyes of the blind yet who is as blind as His servant Israel?....for she cannot see her abominations , or even worse does she not justify her idolatry , shame shall be upon her as of one naked , for though the righteousness of God came to her yet does she walk in things of unrighteousness , I cry for her , yet He comforts my distress for her that she shall be saved though it be through fire , for though the works that are not of Him be burned up in the day of distress , as so much wood hay and stubble , let her rejoice that she herself be saved out of her iniquity , though she travail greatly in the day of her calamity because of iniquity , yet in the end she shall conceive and bring forth Truth and Righteousness , when the world shall say , where is the bride of Christ , who has seen her? then out of the desolation of the wilderness she shall appear a most resplendant and beautiful sight , radiant , adorned as a bride for her Husband, pure undefiled , as radiant gold encrusted with gems and pearls , they shall be one people , one bride , having but one doctrine , holding but one Truth , walking all in One Spirit , and none shall make them ashamed , all abomination taken away from them , they will quench their thirst at the Wellspring of Life eternal , the new temple shall be straight to the Rod of measure and to the plumbline , the mortar of the walls thereof shall be strong exceedingly for Truth is the strength of it , no lie or error is therein.......Many today say , we are the Lords ,we shall not know sorrow , nor shall trouble come nigh to us , we shall escape judgement , we watch for the rapture then shall we be lifted up out of the way of tribulation , we shall know no travail........Indeed they do not consider that they yet must be cleansed , for the bride is yet in her impurity , and they are yet dissobedient , many will say , How can this be we were cleansed by the blood of Jesus when we came via repentance through the salvation of our Lord , ? O brethren that is true , you were cleansed of all past sin , and you were bound under the new covenant, and an integral part of that was to walk in the Way of Truth to sin no more , being bound by the law of love to so honour and obey God to walk in His ways no longer your own , many do not , nor will they listen to the Truth of the matter , why must the house of God be judged first if there is nothing to judge , why does our Lord talk of sons that He must chastise and rebuke , why must the gold be tried in the fire and the silver go into the furnace if there is no dross , why must wheat pass over the threshing floor if there is no chaff nor dirt , why must the temple that now is fall and be rebuilt in a time of great trouble ? WAKE UP O ISRAEL..........many have even become self-righteous thus far removed have they become from His Righteousness , indeed , where is the bride, who can find her , where is the new temple? it is not completed yet , the old temple must come down right back to the foundations , then the new temple can be raised upon that sure foundation , and He is the Master Builder , it shall be greater by far than the former glory........Where is the bride? she exists , yet does not , as surely as there is the old temple , crooked and poorly built , there shall be a new temple that will arise out of travail and tribulation , behold the bride exists now , like unto Mary Magdalene in captivity to seven devils , possessed , living under condemnation , then her transformation , for in her darkest hour , desolate , under complete domination , it was there that the Lord found her , lost in a wilderness of demonic wills , brought face to face with her iniquity , cast down and desolate , the Lord cast out the devils, the Lord forgave her , took away her condemation , lifting her out of demonic domination , a transformed woman , she was still Mary magdalene , but no longer the Mary the mad possessed one , she was that new Mary that walked whereever her Lord , her Deliverer walked , not wishing that she should ever be seperated from her Lord , and such a close intimate relationship did she seek ever after , (Not implying anything untoward , as some have already implied , and have suggested even worse regarding our Lord's relationship with His deciples , such that imply such blasphemous intent are poor sinning reprobate souls , their hearts full of perversion , their minds being devoid of purity , foul running sores they are , who would if they could subvert the hearts and minds of believers whom they hold as contemptable , it is they that are contemptable and beneath any dignity , and far from Truth.).......having said that let us continue........The churches today are not unlike Mary Magdalene when she was yet possessed , for they are firmly enmeshed in spiritual prostitution , sold out to pagan customs , traditions and paganized Christianity , and in these abominations they are committing spiritual adultery for they desire the things sacred to other gods and turn away from that which shows faithfulness to the Lord , and like Mary Magdalene ,they have been seduced into prostituting the Truth by strong religious demons , their adultery and abominations shall bring them down to the dust , into a wilderness and a dessolation , the great tribulation , the time of their travail , shame shall shall cover her there , there will they put away from them the iniquity of their abominations and purify their way , through trial of fire shall the silver be purified and the gold tested , then , like unto Mary Magdalene shall they be brought forth , no longer held captive by the seduction of the demons of false religion , no longer spotted and blemished with the stain of adultery , then behold a purified and chaste bride of Christ Jesus , no longer the "churches" but of ONE MIND , ONE FAITH , ONE DOCTRINE , and like Mary Magdalene , she shall draw to and stay close to the Lord in ALL things , a pure undefiled intimacy , praising and worshipping the Lord from pure undefiled hearts , the Lord's Sabbath shall they delight in , they shall be His special treasure in that day.......MALACHI;4:1-4-6........Israel dwells by the shore of the rivers of Babylon , which waters are wormwood , she waters down her wine from them , many are as if the daughter of the whore and the adulteress , for rome is Babylon , the mother of prostitutes and abominations of the earth , for indeed even so , does Israel in the majority follow a myriad of doctrines according of their own interpreting , whilst still allowing of those customs and traditions instituted by that mother of prostitutes and abominations which they dignify in the name of Christ........With great fondness has she turned aside of long ago to allow of the celebration of the abominable pagan days of Mystery Babylon , Rome the wolf.......disguised herself in a cloak of the fleece of the lamb , out of her came the Protestant reformation , but , the new churches carried the stain of the pagan-Christian compramise upon their robes which continued to be justified by the name of Christ , continuing on , down through the centuries the adulterous compramise , the prostitution of Christianity conjoined with abominations and even so do many honour , in the name of Christ Jesus , the carcasses of long dead kings , kings deemed gods by the old ones , those carcasses are the days sacred to those dead kings , the gods of men........JEREMIAH;16:16-21.....EZEKIEL;43:1-11......REVELATION;11:1-2......Rome inherited and passed on to the world , dressed up in Christian garb , the ancient sacred days of the gods and goddesses of ancient Babylon , of Egypt , of Phillistia , of Assyria , of thwe Grecian and the Persian , the day of the sun-god , sunday , and some call IT a Sabbath , which is an abomination ,....Christmas , the 25th. of December , sacred to Tammuz , it is an abomination , and Easter , not only the date of it but the name of it is an abomination , for on these many say it does not matter that we honour Christ with them , it is an abomination to honour Christ in the name of Easter who was Ishtar of Babylon , or Ashtereth , "Queen of heaven" , the same is Astarte and Eoster , an abomination in the eyes of God , many other such abominations are committed in Israel , yet she does not take it to heart nor realise that they have inherited these abominations from that mother of abominations of the earth , spiritual prostitution and adultery , and yet she refuses to be ashamed of them , that she retains these things , it shall make her desolate , cast into a wilderness and the place of her travail , for Israel belongs to God , He will not tolerate her any longer in her present condition.......
