This is hard to write and tough commentary because otherwise “nice” people have been duped by the world that they live in!
Not in Kentucky… not in God’ country! That was my thoughts. To be truthful, nowhere outside Paradise is “God’s Country.” Sure, it was created by God, and He is the rightful heir to it, but Lucifer has squatted on God’s Land.
Lucifer knows that and so does God for he quoted the angel/devil Lucifer: “For you have said in your 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. I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. ” (Isa 14:13-14). How does Lucifer go about that? First off, by hiding in the shadows. No one believes in Lucifer, the Devil called “Satan”. He never works himself except with God’s chosen and peculiar people but sends in fallen angels to “unpersuaded” the persuaded that God either does not exist or that God is merely a theory at best.
Rather than in Abraham’s Bosom, the people are in Canaan’s lap!
Lucifer endeavors to be like the Most High God in Heaven. With that said, Satan is the imposter title of Lucifer. Satan means “whatever opposes”. So, whatever opposes God is of Satan.
Translators may have innocently misled. “Lucifer” is the angel spirit in an “image” of some sort. Where “serpent” is used in the Book of Isaiah, the Hebrew word is saraph. That word means “burning” or “fire”. Hence, the image has a spirit. Spirits are commonly associated with fire, even the Holy Spirit who has Almighty Power. Of course, a saraph would have less fire and less power, so deception is used to increase the power.
No one knows the type of angel of Lucifer. Perhaps he did appear in the image of a serpent. Since he was a musically inclined angel, my hypothesis is that he was a seraph since the plural “seraphim” is from the Hebrew sarap (Strong’s Hebrew Lexicon). Lucifer can appear in any image that is convenient and did so on many occasions according to the pseudepigraphical book, Adam and Eve and Their Conflicts with Satan (aka; 1st and 2nd Adam and Eve).
This background of Satan is imperative to understand how he works. Often, as a musically talented angel, Lucifer influences music. As an imposter, he poses as a righteous prophet. As a genderless being, “he” poses as a beautiful woman. All that poses are enumerated in sacred literature. Lucifer is genetically paternal in that for sinners, their “father” is the Devil, Lucifer. [1] Satan can appear to mankind however he chooses. People are not dealing with a clever man but a devious being!
Now, what if you were Satan? Where would you hide? Of course, the place least expected, and that would be where? In a “house” that claims to be God’s. Most of want-to-be kings were princes in the kings’ courts pretending to the throne, lived in the King’s Palace. Well, the Devil is the Pretender to the throne of God and he resides in God’s Palace. Where to find Satan? In the Church.
Of course, Satan wanders around, even as Cain, “The Wanderer”, “going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it” (Job 1:7). And again, Cain was “of The Wicked One.” [i]
Cain was the image of Lucifer who wandered to and fro upon the earth. After the flood, Lucifer found another “image” with cursed Canaan. Somehow, Lucifer can always assume some image, and in the end, he will be revealed as the new image of Christ whom we call, “The Antichrist.”
Jesus was tempted with the image of Lucifer, called “The Devil” (“diabolos” in the Greek). The title “devil” is descriptive. It means “false accuser”. The Hebrew word of “devils” is “sed”, meaning “shade” (ibid). It should be obvious that Lucifer is a liar and operates in darkness, not physical darkness but untruth. In other words, the Devil is not who he seems to be, and thus, the Antichrist is not truly the Christ.
“Devils” (plural) would then be antichrists whose Prince of Darkness is “The Antichrist”.
Paul warned the Christians that “Wherein in time past you walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience” (Ephes 2:2). “The Prince”, right now, is the Antichrist. The children of disobedience are “antichrists”. Where can antichrists be found? Like Satan, all over the world.
“Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them” (Job 1:6). Where did the demons and Satan go? Did they go to Cain’s seed and the Land of Nod? No, Satan and his demons went to Uz where righteous Job lived. (He left the Canaanites to do as they pleased!) Job lived in the presence of God and in the sanctuary of God. [ii] In modern terms, Satan and his demons went to “Church” even in the Presence of God. And with that said, God stood back and watched what happened! Would Job remain faithful or would he become apostate? Job’s faith kept him safe; is your faith sufficient?
Why all this about Satan and demons? Because even “Christians” do not believe in Satan. Is it not strange that even demons believe in Christ [iii] but some who call themselves “Christians” do not believe in demons? If you are true Christians, you must believe in Christ and demons, but also trust Christ to take care of the demons. Those were the purpose of the temptations of Job.
Christians proudly say, “I am saved.” Just what or whom are you saved from? You are saved from sin, the Devil, and death.
The Devil is the author of sin. Jesus asked, “By what authority do you do these things? And who gave you this authority to do these things?” (Mark 11:28). Either God is the Authority or the Devil. Things contrary to Holy Scripture are authorized by Satan.
With all that said, the contrariness in the city of Franklin, Kentucky, this weekend kept me awake much of the night. I expect to see “Gay Pride” activities in New York City and other Sodomite locations, but not in the “Bible Belt” of Kentucky. And of all places, who sponsored the activity? I understand that a Franklin church sponsored it.
Now back to my contention: Where would you expect to find demons and antichrists? The “church” (uncapitalized this time because it is “The House of Demons”). In the Age of the Antichrist (Aquarius), the Antichrist is expected to be in God’s Church but before that, demons must be in God’s Spiritual House. He is in the Body of heretical Christians: “What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?” (1 Cor 6:19).
All those “temples” are “lively stones” that make the Church — God’s Spiritual House. [iv] Truthfully, I do not care about the church building but about those who claim to be “lively stones” in the Spiritual Church. Obviously, the elder minister in that organization is the “deadly stone” and a “whatever opposes” Christianity, or an “adversary” of God.
Why am I not surprised that a church propagates evil? Because God never needed a “House then or now. He said so! [v] Thus, it turns out that the “house” does not belong to God but to King Solomon and the priesthood.
In the lexicon of today, the church organization belongs more to the government and the clergy. In other words, they are the “estates” of the clerical and the nobility, and not the common people. The “Estate” of God is Paradise in another realm and His heirs, not Lucifer’s, shall own it!
“Gay” is for deception. The noun “gay” implies joy and happiness. Perhaps “luster” would be more descriptive. Men are presently lovers of men and women of women.
God’s Plan for mankind was commanded: “Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it” (Gen 1:28). John wrote to Christians, “For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith” (1 John 5:4). Overcoming the world is still an extant command. Subduing the world is overcoming it, not joining the world, or having the world overcome you!
God made two genders for the purpose of creating eternal souls in living flesh. That is what life is all about. What God made is natural, and what Satan overcomes is by using unnatural things, to wit:
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. 24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. 26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. (Rom 1:21-27)
Who did those things? (Verse 21): Those that knew God. Those who followed Jesus, and now follow their own lusts! Yes, Christians turned their backs on Jesus and fell away (Greek; apostasia). They did unnatural things… things against the nature in which God made them! Lusting after one of the same gender is not for the “chosen” and spiritually “peculiar” people [vi] of God but for the Devil’s own! At one time, they were called “peculiar” but “apostate” is more applicable.
In other words, the people of the church in Franklin were celebrating apostasy and that institution is “Satan’s House” and part of the church of the Antichrist of the Apocalypse. It is not the “Bride” of Jesus, but the “harlot Babylon” restored.
Now is as it was before the world was first destroyed by the deluge. Just how was it then?
37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, 39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. (Mat 24:37-39)
“The coming of the Son of Man” is the second coming of Christ. The real second coming, when He comes in the sky to rapture Christians to another realm for safety from the Antichrist.
In the days of Noah they were living like today, as if there was no eternity. They were behaving the same as citizens of the Holy Roman Empire when it fell! “Marriage” was described by Homer on down, “to take a wife” and “wife” also can mean “adulteress” (Strong’s Dictionary).
They were not becoming one in Holy Matrimony but coupling (marriage) and fornicating, even in adultery with the wives and husbands of others.
In the Old Testament it is clearer… “They took them wives of all which they chose.” [vii] God did not choose for them wives, but the Sons of God chose for themselves adulteresses. They were uniting in unholy marriage, not Holy Matrimony ordained by God.
The acronym “LBGT” and so on, as the deviations from the normal increase, seems to grow evil. It is dynamic in that more unnatural acts by the day are added. Presently, the APA has said that adult/child sex (pedophilia) is appropriate in certain cases. What cases? When adults overcome children with their aberrant behavior!
In many cases today, the elders of the church have overcome women staff and even children underlings. The once Spiritual Church now thrives as whorehouses where the merchants are the elders who sell off their souls for lustful gain, and have become a den of thieves of things belonging to God! [viii]
The elders and ministers of the gospel have sold God’s Spiritual House and built for Him a “House of Thieves” of those who pervert the gospel.
With all that said, this is not a personal attack on those who live in Franklin nor the people of the church that did that. As Jesus would say, “They know not what they do!” [ix] Just what are they doing? “If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame” (Heb 6:6). Of course, false Calvinistic doctrine is that there is no falling away, so it makes sense that they can do what is right in their own eyes with impunity. [x]
Those prideful of their unnatural behaviors and those proud of them are crucifying Jesus afresh, just as He was never killed before by the church of His day. The “Church” then consisting of loud-mouth clerics and silent Christians! The “church” that had a building crucified Jesus then, and the physical church is doing it again… and so are Christians who remain silent.
What was the sin of Lucifer that caused him to be cast down from heaven? Pride! He was proud of his lust for power and would say or do anything that undermines God. Gay Pride is the ultimate undermining of God and elevates those who are so proud to be as God themselves just as the original sin. [xi]
Pride is damning, but of course they do not fear God because Satan has deceived them; not Lucifer himself, but the warring principalities, powers, the rulers of the darkness of this world, and spiritual wickedness in high places. [xii]
That “spiritual wickedness” is foremost in the church. No wonder that Jesus hung around low places with publicans and sinners because they could change. Christians allege to be changed but all that is changed with many is what they call themselves. Those who bring the harlot to church for wickedness are thieves, removing the truth from God’s alleged “house.”
