Part 1 of 2
Mal 4:5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of
the great and dreadful day of the LORD:
True Reformers will go forth in
the spirit and power of Elijah to prepare the way for the second advent of the
Lord Jesus Christ. It is their work to make crooked things straight. Some things must be torn down,
some things must be built up. Isaiah 62. The Jewels of the Word must be reset in a framework of
truth. They are to preach God's Word interpreted so that nothing contradicts.
God’s Word promises to send to us Elijah the prophet
before the great and dreadful day of the Lord. So, we can be sure that will
occur. We know for sure that John was sent to the Jews before their great and
dreadful day of the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70. But how many Jews
recognized him to be come in the spirit and power of Elijah? How many Jews
heeded his message to repent of their sins and be baptized? Is the message that
John the Baptist gave, a hint of what Elijah would tell us today?
The Bible gives us many intimations as to what Elijah
will teach when he comes to us. Malachi chapter two is a prelude to the reasons
why Elijah was sent to the Jews, God’s first chosen people. The priests had
corrupted the covenant of God. They caused many to stumble at the law of God.
They were partial in the law of God.
Mal 2:11 Judah
hath dealt treacherously, and an abomination is committed in Israel and in
Jerusalem; for Judah hath profaned the holiness of the LORD which he loved, and
hath married the daughter of a strange god.
Mal 2:12 The LORD
will cut off the man that doeth this, the master and the scholar, out of the
tabernacles of Jacob, and him that offereth an offering unto the LORD of hosts.
Mal 2:17 Ye have wearied
the LORD with your words. Yet ye say, Wherein have we wearied him? When ye say,
Every one that doeth evil is good in the sight of the LORD, and he delighteth
in them; or, Where is the God of judgment?
Jer 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.
Ecc 8:11 Because
sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of
the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.
Judah committed an abomination so offensive to God, that
He cut her off and divorced her. Yet she denied that any abomination had been
committed by her, and went so far as to say that those who did evil were good
in the sight of God, and mocked God because He did not deal with their apostasy
in speedy judgment. In mercy to Israel and Judah, God delayed judgment. But
they presumed upon His mercy and longsuffering, and wrongly concluded that God
was too merciful to visit judgment upon His people. But the judgment finally
came in A.D. 70, when their beloved
Temple and city of Jerusalem were destroyed by the Romans.
It is important to remember that Judah and Israel denied
their abominable apostasy, and called evil, and those who committed it, good.
They said all their members that did evil were really good in the sight of God,
and that He delighted in them regardless of their wrong. Judah intimated that
if they were doing wrong and were in apostasy, God would have dealt with them
in judgment.
So what if Elijah should arrive on the scene of God’s
church today? What would he find? What would he say?
God tells us exactly what Elijah will say and do in
Malachi chapter 3. So if you hear of any man saying these things, you had
better seriously consider that he is come in the spirit and power of Elijah,
lest you reject Elijah as most of the Jews rejected John the Baptist. Recall
that John the Baptist would not say that he was Elijah. It is likely that the
final Elijah will do likewise. Why? Because there are many who are saying they
are Elijah. So that you won’t have to read what all of the claimants are
saying, God has told us what the real Elijah will deal with. If any person
claiming to be Elijah does not deal with these specified issues, you will know
that he is not Elijah.
Mal 3:1 Behold, I
will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord,
whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he
shall come, saith the LORD of hosts.
Mal 3:2 But who
may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he
is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap:
Mal 3:3 And he
shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of
Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an
offering in righteousness.
Mal 3:4 Then
shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the LORD, as in the
days of old, and as in former years.
Mal 3:5 And I
will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the
sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against
those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless,
and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the
LORD of hosts.
Mal 3:6 For I am
the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
Mal 3:7 Even from
the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not
kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the LORD of hosts.
But ye said, Wherein shall we return?
Mal 3:8 Will a
man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In
tithes and offerings.
Mal 3:9 Ye are
cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation.
Mal 3:10 Bring ye
all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and
prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the
windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room
enough to receive it.
Mal 3:11 And I
will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of
your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the
field, saith the LORD of hosts.
Mal 3:12 And all
nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the
LORD of hosts.
Mal 3:13 Your
words have been stout against me, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, What have we
spoken so much against thee?
Mal 3:14 Ye have
said, It is vain to serve God: and what profit is it that we have kept his
ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before the LORD of hosts?
Mal 3:15 And now
we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, they
that tempt God are even delivered.
Mal 3:16 Then
they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened,
and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that
feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name.
Mal 3:17 And they
shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and
I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.
Mal 3:18 Then
shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him
that serveth God and him that serveth him not.
Questions and
Statements Concerning Issues Elijah Will Address
·
Elijah comes as the
messenger of the covenant of God. Apparently, God’s end-time “chosen” people
are having the same problem with the covenant. Their priests (ministers) are
causing their sheeple subjects to stumble at God’s law. Are they not teaching
God’s people that it is impossible to keep God’s Law this side of
glorification;? that there is no final generation of 144,000 making up the
bride, whom God pronounces to be without fault? Revelation 14:1-4.
·
Is it a direct
affront to the efficacy of Christ’s sacrifice and victory over sin, as a man,
thus providing us with the empowerment of the gift of His Holy Spirit as grace
for obedience, Romans 1:5, for any church leader to teach that we cannot
overcome sin, when God says that 144,000 will do that? Rev. 14:1-4.
·
Is the provision and
promise of the gift of the divine nature Holy Spirit, not powerful enough to
cope with the artful temptations of Satan? Is Satan more powerful than God? Is
God’s promise true that He won’t permit any temptation beyond our assisted
ability to resist?
2Pe 1:4 Whereby
are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might
be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the
world through lust.
1Co 10:13 There hath
no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that
ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that
ye may be able to bear it.
·
Is God’s grace (Holy
Spirit) given for obedience and apostleship (Romans 1:5), impotent against the
wiles of Satan?
·
Is God’s promise
that Elijah will purify the sons of Levi, a lie? Every time a religious leader
says that we cannot overcome sin this side of glorification, he/she is calling
God a liar. Are you complicit and comfortable with that lie about God?
·
Elijah will pose such questions because he sits as a
refiner’s fire for purifying gold and silver. The temperature for refining gold
and silver must reach 1000 degrees Celsius. So, the teachings of Elijah will be
plain spoken, but penetrating and irrefutable.
·
Elijah’s teachings
will be swift against sorcerers, adulterers, and against false swearers, and
against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless,
and that turn aside the stranger from his right, his human rights.
·
Elijah will expose
the spiritual adultery abominations of the church.
·
Ezekiel instructs us
to sigh and cry for all the abominations
Eze 9:4 And the LORD said unto him, Go through the
midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the
foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.
The writer knows
of NO CHURCH organization that admits that it is committing abominable
apostasy. That is exactly as God’s first “chosen” people responded to Ezekiel.
They rather bragged that they were “The Temple of the Lord.”
Jer 7:4 Trust ye not in lying words, saying, The temple
of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, are these.
·
The reason all true
prophets were/are hated is because they point out the abominations of the
churches—all of them. Isaiah 4:1-4.
·
Elijah will teach
the duty of stewardship to God’s cause. Even true prophets pay tithe. Robbers of
God will not be in His kingdom.
·
There is nothing
more discouraging to the true reformers in God’s cause, for some to begin to
support the truth, and then slough off. The true reformers make commitments to
ministries they are supporting, and when support is cut off, the true cause of
God is caused to languish. This is an abomination. Satan uses this as a tool to
discourage the true servants of God. Some try to find something they can
disagree with so as not to pay tithe to a ministry. But as long as a ministry is teaching all the pillar
doctrines that are necessary for salvation, that is the standard. Beyond
that, we won’t necessarily agree on every point. The Adventist prophetess said.
·
Elijah himself will
pay tithe. It is a misconception that if one works full time in giving the
gospel that he/she does not have to pay tithe. That is not true. The Adventist
prophetess, whom some regard as being Elijah, paid tithe. No one worked more
FULL TIME than she did. Nevertheless, she paid tithe.
·
Elijah will teach Isaiah
4:1-4 and Isaiah 37:31, 32, which is what Malachi 3:4 is referring to.
·
Elijah will teach
God’s ordinances in reference to clean foods and proper diet that promotes
total health. The very mention of proper diet is as a refiner’s fire to some.
Touching one’s pallet is like touching one’s wallet in many cases.
·
Elijah will teach
the message to Laodicea, gold tried in the fire; love for and faith in Christ,
that is manifest in keeping His commandments.
·
Elijah will teach
the three angels messages of Revelation 14.
·
Elijah will teach
the call out of Babylon, Revelation 18.
·
Elijah will teach
the Isaiah 37:31, 32 call out of what was supposed to be spiritual Jerusalem,
as well as Babylon, Rev. 18; Isaiah 37:31, 32 is a direct result of Ezekiel 9 being
literally fulfilled again at the End time.
·
Elijah will teach
the call out from all formerly organized churches, because he knows the truth
of Isaiah 4:1-4, wherein seven women (the number 7 being symbolic of ALL,
COMPLETENESS and women symbolizing churches), ALL CHURCHES will be eating their
own bread, the commandments of men in lieu of the commandments of God, and
wearing their own robes of self-righteousness, rather than the robe of Christ’s
righteousness. Therefore, the final Midnight Loud Cry of Matthew 25, is out of
all churches, and most startingly out of those that consider themselves
“chosen” and spiritual Jerusalem, as well as those who comprise Babylon. Isaiah
37:31, 32 and Revelation 18 respectively.
Isa 4:1 And in that day seven women shall take hold
of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only
let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach.
Isa 4:2 In that day shall the branch of the LORD be
beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and
comely for them that are escaped of Israel.
Isa 4:3 And it shall come to pass, that he that is
left in Zion, and he that remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even
every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem:
Isa 4:4 When the Lord shall have washed away the
filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem
from the midst thereof by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning.
Isa 37:31 And the remnant that is escaped of the house
of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward:
Isa 37:32 For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a
remnant, and they that escape out of mount Zion: the zeal of the LORD of hosts
shall do this.
Evidence in Support of the Above Statements and Questions
The Final Generation, the Bride of Revelation 14:1-4
The woman in Scripture is used
as a symbol of the church, and the remnant of the church represents the
Christians of the last generation of men, living just prior to the second advent
as depicted in Revelation 14:1-4. The dragon makes war on the remnant
because they keep the commandments of God, and they possess the testimony of
Jesus Christ, which, according to the inspired definition of Revelation
19:10, 'is the spirit of prophecy.' The causes of the dragon's warfare upon the
remnant is because they teach the observance of the ten commandments, and
the revival of the gifts, and acknowledge the gift of prophecy among them. It
is when the remnant, whom God designs to fit for translation to Heaven without
seeing death, 'ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk
therein,' then the dragon is wroth, and makes war on them. The bride is found
without fault. She strives to overcome and she finally does so by the
empowerment of the Holy Spirit which gives power for obedience. Romans 1:5.
Sinners Shaken Out of Zion by Zion, and Not the Mainline Churches
Matthew chapter 13 says that
sinners are shaken out of the heavenly church triumphant, Zion, by earthly
representatives called True Reformers.
Characteristics of True
Reformers.—Isaiah 62 describes the true reformers, who will bear the banner of
the final Loud Cry message, as those who avow themselves God's
commandment-keeping people, and who honor God, and are earnestly engaged, in
the sight of all the universe, in building up the old waste places. Who is it that calls them, The
repairers of the breach, The restorers of paths to dwell in? It is God. Their names are registered [written--Heb. 12:22, 23] in heaven
as reformers, restorers, as raising the foundations of many generationsTrue
reformers bear the banner of the third angel’s message of Revelation 14.
· They are God’s
commandment-KEEPING people.
· They build up the old waste
places, the truths that the apostate churches have laid to waste.
· God calls them directly as
repairers of the breach, the restorers of paths to dwell in.
· Their names are
registered/written in the church of heaven (ZION), as reformers and restorers
of the foundations of many generations, and especially the foundation platform
of true Adventism at the end-time.
The church may appear as about
to fall because of Satan’s onslaughts, but it does not fall. It remains, while
the sinners IN ZION will be sifted out--the chaff separated from the wheat. This
shaking process is a terrible ordeal, but nevertheless it must take place. None but those who have been overcoming by the blood of the Lamb and
the word of their testimony will be found with the loyal and true, without spot
or stain of sin, without guile in their mouths...
The REMNANT that purify their
souls by obeying the truth gather strength from the trying process, exhibiting
the beauty of holiness amid the surrounding apostasy. All these, He says, 'I have
graven . . . upon the palms of my hands' (Isa. 49:16)...
Can you grow and ripen in an
apostate church, no matter how faithful it ONCE was?
God’s Word says that it is IMPOSSIBLE for you to unite with
those who are corrupt, and still remain pure. (II Corinthians 6:14-15). Through the
parable of the THORNS, God wants His people to learn that if thy unite with the corrupt they will become corrupt. This is why
Jesus and His disciples left the apostate Jewish church. This is why true
reformers have had to leave the church of their fathers in every succeeding
generation.
Thorns sprung up.--The thorns made it impossible for the wheat to mature (see Luke
8:14). Secular interests
prevent the fruits of the Spirit (Gal. 5:22, 23) from reaching maturity. Religion
is relegated to the subordinate position of being only one interest among many.
That which the thorny-ground hearers lack is a moral transformation To them, justification is the sum and substance of religion, and they
fail to realize that the Christian life includes the process of
sanctification--the process by which evil traits and tendencies are replaced by
the perfect life-pattern of Jesus Christ.
Rom 1:4 And declared to be the Son of God with
power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the
dead:
Rom 1:5 By whom we have received grace and
apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his
name:
Rom 1:6 Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus
Christ:
The Lord will not consider as wise virgins those who
cannot distinguish between a tree that bears thorn-berries and a tree that
bears olives.
In Matthew chapter 13, sinners
are shaken out of Zion, the heavenly church. Tares dwell in all churches until
the harvest. But tares are merely insincere believers whose motives one would
have to judge in order to uproot them. Thorns, on the other hand, are
open, apostate sinners, who choke the wheat and make it impossible to mature if
they are not reformed or removed if they refuse to change.
Proof of the difference between
ordinary tares and the thorns, is that Jesus Himself and His disciples
separated from the apostate church (THORNS) of His day. And Protestants separated
from Rome. The disciples called faithful Christians out from the Jewish
apostate Temple church beginning in A.D. 34, when the 490 years of probation
for the Jews was up. Daniel 9. The disciples then formed home churches.
Scripture on Home Churches
Act 16:32 And they spake unto
him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.
Act 16:34 And when he had
brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing
in God with all his house.
Act 16:40 And they went out of
the prison, and entered into [the house of] Lydia: and
when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.
Act 18:7 And he departed
thence, and entered into a certain [man's] house,
named Justus, [one] that worshipped God, whose house joined hard to the
synagogue.
Rom 16:5 Likewise [greet] the
church that is in their house. Salute my well beloved Epaenetus, who is the
firstfruits of Achaia unto Christ.
1Cr 1:11 For it hath been
declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them [which are of the house] of
Chloe, that there are contentions among you.
1Cr 16:15 I beseech you,
brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of
Achaia, and [that] they have addicted themselves to the ministry of the
saints,)
1Cr 16:19 The churches of Asia
salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in
the Lord, with the church that is in their house.
Thorns are the reason for
every separation that has ever occurred in God’s church. It was because of
apostasy of the organized church of His day, that Jesus, His disciples and Paul
separated. If thorns are the same as tares, Jesus would have violated His own
counsel in Matthew chapter 13, that the tares dwell in the church until the
harvest, which comes at the end of the world. So every sincere seeker of truth
will ask him/herself why Jesus separated, to wit:
Christ and His Disciples Separated
If apostate THORNS were the
same as mere tares, insincere believers, Jesus would not have separated. Thorns
choke the wheat and make it impossible to mature. Tares, insincere believers,
whose motives we would have to judge in order to uproot them, are not open
sinning apostates. They are removed at the harvest, the end of the world. Open
sin apostasy is quite another matter.
Paul Left
“And he went into the synagogue, and spake boldly for the
space of three months, disputing and persuading the things concerning the
kingdom of God. 9But when divers were
hardened, and believed not, but spake evil of that way before the multitude, he
departed from them, and separated the disciples, disputing daily in the school
of one Tyrannus.” Acts 19:8, 9.
· If we are to remain in any
church until the end of time, no matter what it does, why did Jesus “gather
out” those who would take the gospel to all nations.
· If we are to remain in a once
true church, which becomes apostate, why did true reformers IN EVERY SUCCEEDING
GENERATION separate from the church of their fathers when the ecclesiastical
would not tolerate light?
· The faithful have always left
apostate church organizations because of the principle of corporate
responsibility. If they remained, they would be corporately responsible for the
apostasy, per the Biblical account of Achan.
God’s presence cannot exist in any apostate church,
for He would then be corporately responsible. His presence can only exist where
His commandments are kept:
God’s church is the people who
love God and keep His commandments. 'Where two or three are gathered together
in My name, there am I in the midst of them.' Where Christ is even among the
humble few, THIS IS CHRIST'S CHURCH, for only the presence of the High and Holy One can alone constitute a
church.
Nehemiah refused to associate
with those who were untrue to principle, and he would not permit his workmen to
associate with them. Dare to be a Daniel, Dare to stand alone. But a cowardly
and silent stance before evil associates, while you listen to and support their
devices, makes you one with them. Come out from among them and be separate,
saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, and
will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the
Lord Almighty."
The leaders of the Seventh Day Adventist church have also
been using the following statement to discourage members from leaving the
church:
The True Church does not fall. It remains, while the sinners in Zion Matthew 13, will be sifted
out—the chaff separated from the wheat.
The only church that remains is Zion, the church in
heaven, Hebrews 12:22, 23. It is by earthly representatives of that church, the
bride, the 144,000, that the wheat is selected from the tares just as the
disciples of Christ were told that whomever they bound on earth would be bound
in heaven. The True Reformers shake out the tares and the thorns with their
shaking, purging, purifying message, after the manner of Elijah’s purifying of
the Sons of Leve, Malachi Chapter 3.
Many Christians of the various denominations make the
great mistake of thinking their church is the right one; that their church will
be the church triumphant. All such make a great mistake. The church triumphant
is defined in Hebrews 12:22, 23.
Ezekiel 9
Slaughter Beginning at His Sanctuary
If you believe that your formally organized church
denomination is spiritual Jerusalem, beware, for that is where God says Ezekiel
9 slaughter of men, maidens and little children will occur for all its
abominations for which we are to sigh and cry. If you think that your church
denomination is not in apostasy, read this document: https://omega77.tripod.com/godheadfromsanctuary.htm
The Lord has shown me in vision that the Ezekiel 9
destruction of the Jews in A.D. 70, was a prefigure of Matthew 24, which will
be far worse in scope at the end-time.
Where does the ruin BEGIN?
Ezekiel 9 says that it all
begins “at His sanctuary.”
Eze 9:6 Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and
little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark;
and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were before
the house.
Isaiah 56:10-12, gives the
reasons that the popular denominations will meet with Ezekiel 9 destruction.
How do we know for sure that Ezekiel 9 will be literally fulfilled again?
Because Ezekiel 9 is the sealing chapter, which describes the Man in Linen,
Jesus Christ, the only Judge, who goes through the churches and puts a Mark, a
seal, on those who sigh and cry for all the abominations being done in the
churches that purport to be spiritual Jerusalem at the end-time. It wasn’t only
the Jews who receive that Mark, that Seal. It is for all Christendom.
Zion is the
Church Triumphant in Heaven
Hebrews 12:22-24, speaks of the triumphant church of
Zion, which is the only faithful church in the universe, headquarted in
heavenly Jerusalem. It is the church of angels which enjoys the presence of the
Father and the Son. It is also the church of the first-born, that is, of those
humble, faithful souls who purify themselves by His enabling grace, and thus
are able to join the triumphant church of heaven, whose members are written in
heaven. This is the church which, in the coming conflict, may appear as about
to fall but does not fall.
Heb 12:22 But ye
are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly
Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,
Heb 12:23 To the
general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and
to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
Heb 12:24 And to
Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that
speaketh better things than that of Abel.
It is out of the Zion church in heaven that the tares
will finally be shaken out of. Matthew 13.
The members of the church triumphant--the church in
Heaven, are the True Reformers. They will be permitted to draw near to he
members of the churches on this earth in order to aid them in their necessity,
IF THEY WILL RECEIVE THE SHAKING MESSAGE OF TRUE REFORMERS.
When will that point be when the triumphant church
appears about to fall but does not fall, when will this event take place?
The people of God will be plunged into the times of
affliction and distress described by the prophet as the time of Jacob's
trouble, Jacob's night of anguish, when he wrestled in prayer for deliverance
from the hand of Esau (Genesis 32:24-30), represents the experience of God's
people in the time of trouble. Jacob's company, unarmed and defenceless, seemed
about to fall helpless victims of violence and slaughter. It is during that
time of trouble that the church appears as about to fall. Any church that does
not fall at that time is part of the church triumphant, and I refer to home
churches, because Isaiah 4:1-4 says all the formally organized churches are
doing their own thing. Then he says in Isaiah 37:31, 32, that there is another
going forth out of Jerusalem, out of all the churches that profess to be
spiritual Jerusalem at the end time. And Babylon falls as well. Revelation 18.
If you refuse to heed God’s warning in Isaiah 4:1-4 and
Isaiah 37:31, 32, you will be among the men, maidens and little children who
are slaughtered in Ezekiel 9. Is it safe to remain in apostate churches until
later? No, because it is impossible to remain amongst the corrupt and
remain/become pure. The open sinning THORN will choke the wheat and kill it.
Ordinary tares are folk who are merely insincere believers, and whose motives
we would have to JUDGE in order to uproot them. The remain until the very end,
but open sinning members and apostate churches are quite another matter. And
God’s Word says that they are ALL guilty.
In the LITERAL fulfillment of Ezekiel 9
example of apostate Israel, (A. D. 27-70) all the good left the apostate Jewish
church, the Synagogue of Satan. Ezekiel 22:17-31. In the next LITERAL
fulfillment of Ezekiel 9, the good leave the bad and the apostate church is
destroyed:
Isa 37:31 And the remnant that is escaped of the house
of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward:
Isa 37:32 For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a
remnant, and they that escape out of mount Zion: the zeal of the LORD of hosts
shall do this.
Rev 18:2 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.
Rev 18:3 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.
Rev 18:4 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.
Rev 18:5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and
God hath remembered her iniquities.
Churches that
know the truth and violate it, are worse than Babylon, which has not heard the
truth.
The True Remnant Defined by God
Rev 14:1 And I
looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty
and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.
Rev 14:2 And I
heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a
great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:
Rev 14:3 And they
sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and
the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four
thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.
Rev 14:4 These
are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are
they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from
among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.
Rev 14:5 And in
their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of
God.

Many theologians stress how Jesus was different from us
and that He was sired by the Holy Ghost and we aren’t! But here is the great
leveler friend: We can be born again and partake of the Divine Nature of Jesus Christ.
II Peter 4:1. How then are we at any disadvantage when He has promised to come
to us via His Holy Spirit and indwell us. John Chapter 14. Can the Holy Spirit
dwell in a willful, continuing sinner? Not that I know of.
Elijah’s
Message to Those who Have Regarded Themselves as the Chosen Remnant
Elijah’s message will be first and foremost to those who
have regarded themselves at the chosen remnant. All such will be most startled
to learn the truth of Isaiah 4:1-4 and Isaiah 37:31, 32.
Though we are not to expect that we all agree on every
point, we must agree on the pillars, the landmarks, that constitute the firm
foundation. When attempts are made to move the pillars, that is another matter.
When that happens, our very being sealed by the Man in Linen, Ezekiel 9, is
conditional upon our sighing and crying aloud to show God’s people their sins.
It is an emergency situation
of the highest importance when God’s Word tells us in Ezekiel 9, that our very
being sealed by the Man in Linen is CONDITIONAL to our sighing and crying ALOUD
(Isa. 58:1) for all the abominations that are done IN THE CHURCH, while
the leaders won’t admit to ANY abomination apostasy.
When the Jewish Temple and Jerusalem
were destroyed in A.D. 70, the leaders denied that the church was in apostasy.
They told the people that the gates of hell would never prevail against their
church. They told their members: “The temple of the Lord are these; The temple
of the Lord are these.” They regarded themselves as the apple of God’s eye. But
the true remnant escaped by going forth OUT OF JERUSALEM, THE APOSTATE CHURCH,
Isa 37:31 And the
remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward,
and bear fruit upward:
Isa 37:32 For out
of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and they that escape out of mount Zion:
the zeal of the LORD of hosts shall do this.
And the only other option is Ezekiel 9 slaughter of men,
maidens and little children. Ezekiel Chapter 9.
The Midnight Cry of Matthew 25 and Christ’s Object Lessons, pp. 405-406, is to ALL CHURCHES, because
ALL SEVEN WOMEN (all formally organized churches) of Isaiah 4:1-4, are found in
apostasy. The reason for Isaiah 37:31, 32, is Isaiah 4:1-4.
Do you believe Isaiah wrote
more for you than the Jews in Isaiah 37:31, 32? If not, your fate will be
Ezekiel 9 slaughter of men, maidens and little children, Ezekiel 9.
We are not to be in unity on corrupt heresies of
apostasy.
When Separation Becomes Paramount
There is a serious point at
which separation becomes necessary in order to be able to mature as wheat in
any church. This is impossible in any church that commits open sin apostasy:
This Doctrine of the
Nicolaitans that justification is the sum and substance of religion, is
precisely that of the Thorns, the are thorny-ground hearers who need a moral
transformation.
· The immorality of the thorns
is of a corrupt influence to the church. Such persons choke the wheat and make
it IMPOSSIBLE for the wheat to mature. That is why Moses killed off the
apostates of his day.
· The thorns teach that
sanctification is an absolute impossibility this side of glorification.
· The thorns are essentially of
the Doctrine of the Nicolaitans which God especially hates. They believe that
law keeping is not essential; that compromises involving the law of God are
condonable by God.

Definition of antinomian. 1 :
one who holds that under the gospel dispensation of grace (see 1grace
1a) the moral law is of no use or obligation because faith alone is necessary
to salvation. 2 : one who rejects a socially established morality. — https://www.google.ca/search?dcr=0&source=hp&ei=tJZDW9f_PKiI0wLHuaawDQ&q=antinomianism&oq=antinomianism&gs_l=psy-ab.3..0l10.2951.2951.0.4782.3.2.0.0.0.0.123.123.0j1.2.0....0...1..64.psy-ab..1.2.253.6..35i39k1.130.L1bOe1FZrSg
The Lord has shown me this: In
Jude 4--The Sin of the Nicolaitans is the sin of the Nicolaitans, turning the
grace of God into lasciviousness. How is that done? By accounting the grace
given for obedience, Rom. 1:5, as impotent in the overcoming of sin, so that we
can receive grace only as pardon, so we go on sinning and confessing till Jesus
comes.
