The Mystery of Iniquity
Scripture reveals the Man of Sin. God’s Word declares the mysteries of ‘Iniquity and Babylon,’ and it is only from God’s Word understanding comes.
Not only Christians, but peoples of all faiths, see the values that once bound our various societies, now in a state of collapse. Our governments now freely submit to the dictates of the United Nations and other law making bodies. As the moral boundaries, which once secured our communities are forsaken, even those of sensuous and worldly desires can see the falling away spoken of by the Apostle Paul. The trampling of God’s Commandments has caused great rejoicing in the nations.
When Ezekiel the Prophet witnessed God’s fury devour Jerusalem, he saw it begin in the temple. Why? Because the Levite priests had abdicated their faith and turned to other gods. So too, this escalating lawlessness is born from the idolatry sown in our religious assemblies. Error propagated in those generations of men and women, who sincerely believed they served God, yet laid down a false witness. Moses song; sung to Israel and in the Gentile Nations warns that when we cast down God’s Commandments, the plagues bound in God’s Word would consume ourselves and our families from within, and without. Whether Muslim, Jew or Christian we are all responsible for the falsehood declared on the banners of our faith.
In the falling away, we will comprehend two things. Firstly we will see who this man of sin is and secondly, that Jesus is both LORD and Christ; the Existing One and the Anointed One. (Acts 2:36) We will start by looking at segments of the Apostle Paul’s letter to the Thessalonians.
.
The Falling Away
The Spirit of Jesus revealed a great mystery to the Apostle Paul. The ‘Mystery of Iniquity’ known also as the ‘Mystery of Lawlessness;’ a mystery that was, and a mystery that is. In his letter to the Saints in Thessalonica, Paul wrote: “Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition….” (2Th 2:3)
The falling away revealed to Paul is seen in creeds and teachings that turn us from the Faith of Jesus, and the Commandments of God. This falsehood sits at the heart of all denominational churches. It is seen in Catholic, Anglican, Lutheran, Presbyterian, Baptist, Mormon, Jehovah’s Witness and all religious sects and rites, which vehemently oppose Jesus Faith decreed in the great Commandment; “Hear O Israel, the LORD God is One LORD.” Truly; Jesus is LORD, and there is no god beside him.
.
The term, ‘Son of Perdition’ describes someone who has fallen into a spiritual abyss, like Judas who sold out Jesus to the Pharisee’s, or the Roman Church that changed Jesus Command into a lie. Paul’s letter to the Thessalonians continues; “Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sits in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.” (2Th 2:4)
Here, the Spirit of Christ in Paul revealed this man would oppose and exalt himself above all that is called God. In other words, this man would oppose the Word of God, the Son of God, the Gospel of Jesus Christ, including the teachings of the Apostles and the Prophets who testified of Jesus. He would set himself above everything that is God and is worshipped. This man of sin would sit in the temple of God; as God.
.
The Apostle Peter referred to our bodies as the ‘House of God’ and Paul said; “Know you not that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?” (1 Cor 3:16) Again, the Apostle pressed all of us by saying;
“Examine yourselves whether you be in the faith… Know you not that Jesus Christ is in you, except you be reprobates?” (2 Cor 13:5) I ask you then, if Jesus’ Spirit, (the Holy Spirit) does not dwell in us; then what spirit does?
.
When, Jesus spoke to the Pharisees He asked: “Is it not written in your law, I said, you are gods? …to whom the word of God came, and the Scripture cannot be broken.” (John 10:34-35) Now, this same law has come down through our pastors and congregations, to you and me. And like those religious sects rebuked by Jesus, we also are ‘gods’ just as we are the ‘temple’ of God. This Scripture cannot be broken or undone. The Spirit of Jesus, which led Paul, also testified in Isaiah, Ezekiel and Daniel. In later portions we shall look through their eyes into the nature of ‘the god of this earth.’
Paul says further; “For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work. Only he who now restrains it will do so until he is out of the way.” (2Th 2:7) Paul wrote that the mystery of lawlessness was already at work and this agrees with Jesus, who in the days of his flesh warned; ‘many false Christ’s and prophets would come.’ This is again confirmed by the Apostle, John who revealed; the antichrist spirit went out from the midst of their congregation in Jerusalem, in those men and women who did not believe, Jesus was both the Father and Son. They preached ‘another gospel.’
.
It is important we understand that this antichrist spirit resident in ‘the man of sin’ was also in Eden, dwelt in the tribes of Israel, rose in the nations, and freely walks up and down in our churches and in every man and woman. God, by His Word, created the first heaven and the first earth and the first Adam was formed from this earth: “For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who has subjected the same in hope.” (Romans 8:20)
“And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming.” (2Th 2:8) The man of sin will be revealed, and consumed by Gods Word, the Lord Jesus Christ. Now, the man of sin is revealed when Jesus, the LORD our God, is revealed to men..
“….Even him whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders.” (2Th 2:9) This ‘man’s’ power, and signs and lying wonders, are of Satan who holds dominion over this Earth. All of the kingdoms of this world sit in his hand. This power is seen in the Tabernacle of Witness, where the Archangels’ Satan and Michael are depicted as two cherubim seated atop the Ark of the Covenant in the Holy Place. In the Ark, the Ten Commandments, the Pot of Manna and the Rod of Aaron. These items pertain to Sinai’s Law, Jesus Gospel, and the Priesthood.
.
These are found as written statutes in the legislative foundations of every government on earth, and as living statutes formed in the conscience of every soul born into this kingdom. It can be best described as a ‘moral law’ common to all peoples and beliefs. Testaments that dwell in God’s tabernacle, which tabernacle we are. Dispensations of man’s ‘rule on earth,’ symbolized in the Book of Revelation as three Beasts. A Dragon cast down from heaven, a Beast that rises from the sea, and a Beast, which rises from the earth.
Satan’s power: these signs and lying wonders abide in these portions of God’s Word. Falsehood found in the unclean spirits performing miracles that come out of the mouths of the Dragon, the Beast of the Sea and the False Prophet. (Rev 16:13-14) Strong delusion created by God and resident in them who seek these signs. We find in the Book of the Prophet, Isaiah.
“I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me. That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else. I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.” (Isaiah 45:5-7)
.
The Dragon, the Beast of the Sea and the False Prophet are three beasts; three dispensations of man’s rule on earth, which speak by means of the Law, the Gospel of Jesus, and Christ’s Priesthood. Satan’s seat of power on earth is found in these three beasts, powers which unfold one within the other; ‘The Beast that was, is not and yet is.’ (Revelation 17:8)
“with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie. That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” (2Th 2:10-12)
The lying spirits that perform miracles are sealed in God’s Word; created by Him when He formed the first heaven and the first earth. Conceited self-importance purposed in our creation, from which only the pure ‘Faith and Commandments of Jesus,’ can release us. We are all of us bound, until we bow to the name of the LORD Jesus Christ.
If not already, the coming portions will challenge your perception of Scripture. To understand the mysteries of God, we must look through God’s eyes, and not ours.
.
Three Beasts of Revelation
The Beast that was, and is not, and yet is…
Beasts in Scripture represent God’s covenants with man. In other words, portions of God’s Word, His power and authority bound in the Law, and in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. As the LORD (the Existing One) passed the Law to Moses on Sinai, the tribes of Israel in like manner, carried and sowed this Law into every nation they were led captive. Bound in this Law and the Prophets, is the testimony of the Messiah; the LORD Jesus Christ.
Note: When God Almighty confirmed His covenant with Abraham he had him divide three beasts in their midst. Those beasts were a sign to Abraham his children would go into, and come out of bondage. The three beasts in Revelation reveal God’s children in bondage to men’s creeds.
As the Lion, the Ox, the Man and the Eagle are symbolic of the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, so, the Beast from Heaven, the Beast of the Sea, and the Beast of the Earth are dispensations of God’s Covenants with men. They are God’s Law and the testimony of Jesus in Israel’s time; the seven times of the Gentile nations; and the dividing of time in the religious assemblies of men.
Note: Israel was required to keep three feasts, throughout their generations, in perpetuity to the LORD. A ‘feast’ in Scripture is a time when the LORD would join with his people. The three beasts in the Book of Revelation shadow Israel’s feasts.’
.
The Beast From Heaven
Revelation 12 – Sinai’s Covenant cast down to the earth from heaven in Israel’s time.
The dispensation of the Law; the Dragon’s ten horns, seven heads and tail represent the three parts to the Tabernacle of Witness. A witness associated with those who wander in the wilderness:
The Ten Horns: are Ten Commandments. Found in the Holy Place they symbolise the Law.
The Seven Heads: are the Menorah found in the Sanctuary and point to Christ, our Sabbath. These seven heads are crowned, and reveal Christ’s authority over all things.
The Tail: represents the Outer Court and speaks of fleshly sacrifice, and of those who have not entered into Jesus Christ, the true tabernacle, by faith.
.
The Prophet, Ezekiel saw Satan in Eden covered with the ‘stones of his authority and rule.’ Eve desired to ‘eat’ of this Tree of Knowledge to become as ‘a god;’ to know both good and evil. Ezekiel also saw Satan walking in the midst of the fiery stones on the holy mount of God, and spoke of Satan’s authority as a covering Cherubim in the Tabernacle of Witness. Ezekiel glimpsed Satan’s spirit, sealed by God, in Sinai’s Covenant; he saw the antichrist spirit bound in the Law. When Moses set the Law before Israel he said; “See, I have set before you this day life and good, and death and evil.” (Deut 30:15)
.
The Beast of The Sea
Revelation 13 – Sinai’s Covenant and Jesus Testimony altered by men in the Gentile nations:
When the Tribes of Israel were led captive into the nations, they planted the Testimony of the Existing One into the nations they entered. The Prophet, Daniel saw these testimonies of both the Law and the Messiah, rise up in the nations in four stages; as four beasts. (Daniel 7) These four ‘beasts’ are seen collectively as ‘the Beast of the Sea’ in the Book of Revelation. (Revelation 13)
.
The 1st Beast is a Lion with two wings of an Eagle: The Lion represents Judah’s testimony bound in Christ. The wings are God’s Testimony in those who keep the Commandments of God and the Faith of Jesus; Heavenly testimonies drawn from the Earth and stood upon their feet as a man, and given the heart of a man. As Adam was created from the earth, so Daniel saw God’s Word as a Beast, rise from the earth as a man, and given a man’s heart.
The 2nd Beast is a Bear with three ribs in its mouth: Israel’s tribes are carried away into Assyria, Babylon and beyond. Overcome by greater powers, Israel’s tribes are stripped of their flesh as they lose their national identity in the nations. The three ribs are God’s Testimony first seen as the Lion with eagle’s wings. A testimony perfectly aligned to the three parts of the Tabernacle of Witness. From Adam’s rib came a woman, and from these three ribs come a ‘bride’ that sits on many waters. In the Book of Revelation, Babylon the (w)hore when shaken, will divide into three parts.
The 3rd Beast is a Leopard with the four wings of a fowl: Note: a Leopard, not a Lion, and its wings are those of a fowl and not of an eagle. So we see that Daniel witnessed God’s Testimonies mixed with the beliefs and traditions of men. God’s altered Law and Gospel is now taken to the four winds, to the four corners of the earth, and to every nation.
The 4th Beast, like the Dragon, has seven heads and ten horns but also has iron teeth and brass claws; things forged by men. It is the LORD’S testimony changed and applied as a means of oppression by the governments and religious systems of the Gentile nations. Its first three horns are Sinai’s first three Commandments.
.
#1: That there is no other God beside the LORD;
#2: That we are not to forge an image of God; and
#3: That we are not to take God’s name in vain.
These three Commandments are ripped out and replaced by a little horn, which has the eyes of a man and a blasphemous mouth. As the Dragon’s ten horns are God’s Ten Commandments, so this ‘little horn’ is men’s decrees like the Trinity; doctrines, which blaspheme and oppose Jesus’ Truth. That this little horn has “the eyes of a man,” refers to our use of Creeds to explain Scripture in terms of ‘Human Doctrine,’ rather than allowing Scripture to interpret itself.
.
Note: Daniel foresaw the Messiah’s sacrifice and salvation replaced by the creeds and rites of our Muslim, Jewish and Christian assemblies. The ‘abomination of desolation’ spoken of by Daniel is the corruption of God’s Word unfolding in four stages. Daniel’s four beasts reveal the pattern of God’s Word corrupted in the nations, our churches, and in us. It is the antichrist spirit working in men.
.
The Beast of The Earth
Revelation 13 – The desecrated gospels and creeds of men:
This Beast looks like a Lamb but speaks as a Dragon. It appears as Christ but it preaches the form of religious law that came out from both Rome and the Pharisees. This beast is the false prophet; and this beast is mankind in whom Sinai’s altered Law and Jesus defiled Testimony reside. We have built a new platform and placed an image of Jesus on it.
The ‘man of sin’ becomes the ‘son of perdition’ in those who have turned the perfect Salvation of Jesus into a desolate wasteland. These are men who ‘buy;’ who redeem our souls with their own versions of Christ’s redemption; religious leaders and converts who turn us towards the first beast, which rose from the sea, to corrupted laws and gospels sown to the four winds, into every nation. To a beast that bows to the Dragon; to Satan, and not to Jesus Christ.
This Beast is man, (it is us) and our number is 666. It is not as popular myth would have it, the Devil’s number; it is ours. It is the number of unbelief in those who have not rested in Christ’s pure faith. It is the desolation of God’s Word in our hearts, our minds, and in our souls.
.
Mystery Babylon
As the bride of Jesus is the pure Word of God; Babylon is contaminated doctrine mixed with the Law and Gospel of Jesus. Two brides; seen side by side as the Dragon, and the Woman with a crown of twelve stars upon her head – the City of Babylon and New Jerusalem.
The (f)ornication of God’s Word by men is clearly evident in the Trinitarian, prosperity, and counterfeit gospels and beliefs, which like the waters of, Noah, cover the earth. Those who believe these gospels, mistakenly see themselves as Jesus bride. Certainly, few would consider our churches to be as a (w)hore or destitute widow.
In chapter 17 of the Book of Revelation, Babylon, the (w)hore, sits upon a ‘scarlet coloured beast’ throughout the seven times allotted to the gentile nations. This beast rises from the bottomless pit and goes into perdition. Her journey is seen in the journey we have taken through the three Beasts of Revelation above. It is the journey of Abraham’s ‘seed’ into bondage; of people taken into captivity by false gospels.
The Dragon cast down to the Earth is God’s Testimony given to men. It is the outer flesh of those testaments; it is not the inner Spirit of Christ. Satan’s spirit is bound in this Law, and in chapter 12 of the Book of Revelation, it seeks to murder the Messiah and we know the same spirit dwelt in the Pharisee’s. Though we are blind to it, this spirit also dwells in our churches. I pray the LORD open your eyes to it.
The Beast, which rises from the sea, is the utter corruption of God’s Word in the hearts and nations of men. Daniel saw this corruption in four beasts, in four stages. The first four parts of the Church Angel messages, the Seals, the Trumpets and the Plagues all bear witness of a journey, which begins when we reject Christ’s Salvation and ends with the perdition and loss of our souls. It is seen in the locusts described by Joel, which eat and destroy the pleasant pastures of God’s Word; “with Eden before them and a desolate wilderness behind.”
The Beast of the Earth is seen in those who are raised in our false gospels and creeds. Those, who reject Christ’s Gospel for their church gospels, and what they teach, and hear, from the pulpit. This is mankind in his final state of perdition. In Revelation, Chapter 16, the plagues must complete their cycle before the Tabernacle of God is opened in heaven, before Christ can be revealed in us. God’s mercy is in these plagues; to shake us, to purge us, and bring us to our knees in repentance.
At the completion of the plagues, Babylon is shaken by a mighty earthquake and divides into three parts. These three parts are God’s covenants and Testaments bound in the beasts above. Babylon is God’s Word mixed with the traditions and creeds of men. She is a (w)hore. And she has fallen.
This great earthquake is seen in the 6th Seal in the Book of Revelation when the sun and the moon become as blood, and the stars fall from heaven, when the Fig tree is shaken by a mighty wind, and its untimely figs fall. This 6th Seal was first opened by God’s grace in William Branham, who likened this Seal to Israel’s deliverance from Egypt and to nature itself passing away, and I agree.
More perfectly, the ‘lights’ of God’s Creation, referred to in the 6th Seal, symbolise God’s Ordinances as declared to us by Jeremiah the Prophet. The Sun, the Moon, and the Stars symbolise God’s Covenants with His Israel. Things Jeremiah foresaw the LORD would write in us. The sun, the moon and stars falling to earth show our faith in Jesus,’ and God’s Law, being corrupted and rejected in our communities, our families, and in our hearts and minds. Most importantly, the 6th Seal depicts the falling away of our Godly nature, and moral character.
As God’s nature in us falls away, the nature of the ‘beast’ is revealed in us. As Jesus’ Salvation is replaced in our hearts by our own creeds, we ascend in the temple of God, as God. It is the same path taken by Eve and Adam when, driven by their lust for wisdom, they ate of Satan’s lie and become gods. It is the same lust for supremacy, which drove Cain to murder his brother. This pattern of ‘works’ has unfolded in every generation of man, as each generation has passed before God.
.
God’s Word Made Flesh
Jesus Christ is the Word of God. In the days of His ministry on earth, God’s Word became flesh and dwelt among us. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us.” (John 1:1-14)
When the Apostle Paul spoke about the mystery of godliness, he referred to God manifest in the flesh. “And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. (1Tim 3:16) In opposition to this, the mystery of iniquity is Satan manifest in the flesh.
The Muslim, Jewish and Christian faiths believe God created all things by His Word. God is the Creator and He made man in His own image. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. (Gen 1:27)
.
Jesus Christ is the Word of God; the glorified Word of God, the LORD God Almighty. (Rev 1:8) From Scripture, we know He fulfilled all the Law and the Prophets, and preached the Gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven as only He could. Jesus is the incorruptible, virgin born Word of God made manifest.
Man is also the Word of God; an image of the true, just as Sinai’s Law is a shadow of Jesus Gospel. Man is Sinai’s Law made flesh. Satan’s and Michael’s authority and rule stand in this Law, and their spirits bound in this Law, dwell in mankind. Sinai’s ordinances and testimonies speak of Christ but as we depart from her ordinances, they will corrupt, breed worms and die. As we fall away from God’s Commandments, Satan will ascend in us.
So it is, the first Adam is of the earth. (That is the Law.) The second Adam is the LORD from heaven. (That is Jesus Gospel.) The Prophets and Apostles bear witness of the matter.
.
Ezekiel: Satan’s Authority in Heaven;
(Ezekiel 28:12-17) Take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus… Thus saith the Lord GOD; you seal up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. You have been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was your covering… You are the anointed cherub that covers; and I have set you so: you were upon the holy mountain of God; you have walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. By the multitude of your merchandise they have filled the midst of you with violence, and you have sinned: therefore I will cast you as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy you, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire… I will cast you to the ground.
.
Ezekiel: Man’s Authority in the Nations;
(Ezekiel 28:2-9) Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because your heart is lifted up, and you have said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet you are a man, and not God, though you set thine heart as the heart of God… Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; because you have set your heart as the heart of God: Behold, therefore I will bring strangers upon you, the terrible of the nations… They shall bring you down to the pit, and you shall die the deaths of them that are slain in the midst of the seas. Will you yet say before him that slays you; I am God? But you shall be a man, and no God, in the hand of him that slays you.
.
John: The Antichrist Cast to Earth – Sinai’s Law;
(Revelation 12:3-9) And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth… And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, and prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceives the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
.
Isaiah: Lucifer’s Descent and Man’s Ascent;
(Isaiah 14:12-16) How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How are you cut down to the ground, which did weaken the nations! 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: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying; is this the man that made the earth to tremble;
.
Daniel: God’s Testimony Made Man;
(Daniel 7:3-4) And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another. The first was like a lion, and had eagle’s wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man’s heart was given to it.
.
Paul: Man as God in the Temple of God;
(2Th 2:3-11) Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sits in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God… Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
.
THE LORD JESUS: We are ‘gods’;
(John 10:34-35) Is it not written in your law, I said, you are gods? …and the Scripture cannot be broken.
.
The Man of Sin
The mystery of godliness is that God was manifest in the flesh. Jesus Christ is the Word of God made flesh. Jesus is the glorified Word of the Law, the Prophets, and the Gospel.
You are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that you may know and believe me, and understand that I am He: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour… you are my witnesses, saith the LORD, that I am God… I am the LORD, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King. (Isa 43:10-15)
.
The mystery of iniquity is that Man is Sinai’s Testimony; the Law, made flesh. A Law that is both good and evil. A Law in the process of time, where blessings become curses and where life becomes death. When Ezekiel was shown Satan in Eden, and again in the midst of Sinai’s stones, he saw Satan’s spirit sealed in the Law, and cast down to earth. So, when God created man from the dust of the earth, he created us from the Testimony of this Law. God is the potter and we are the clay.
.
When the Prophet Daniel saw four winds of heaven striving upon the sea, he also saw four beasts that rose up from the sea; waters that symbolize all nations and peoples. Daniel was shown in four stages, the corruption of God’s Testimony in the nations. He saw the antichrist spirit ascending in men. A spirit bound in us, which is unleashed in our souls when we reject or replace Jesus’ Faith and Law.
In the Revelation from Jesus, the Apostle John was also shown four winds that would blow upon the earth. Four spirits bound in the Church Angel Messengers, the Seals, the Trumpets and the Plagues. The first four parts of each of these ‘winds’ reveal the antichrist spirit ascending in men and overcoming our church assemblies; a spirit intensifying in the laws of our nations and overflowing our moral values. Through Creeds and Laws, this spirit opposes and casts down Jesus’ Faith and Law, in us.
The mystery of iniquity is Satan manifest in men. A spirit sealed and bound by spiritual chains within us on the day of our creation; a man of sin that can never submit to the Law of God. Lawlessness unchained in the souls of the disobedient. God is not mocked. Antichrists’ and false prophets have walked in every generation and I am asking you now to examine your faith. I am pleading with you to ask forgiveness if you have not believed, to seek the LORD with a humble heart. The Apostle Paul declared this sin bound in us, when he said;
(Romans 7:21-25) I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: 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. O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? 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.
.
The 6th Seal reveal the lights of God’s Creation, God’s Ordinances now rejected by men passing away. Our godly nature falling away exposes the beast within. In the 6th Plague, we see the Euphrates dry up; the gospels of men failing, lying spirits, performing signs and miracles that come out of the Dragon, the Beast and the False Prophet. Deceit sealed in blessings that become curses, and in life that becomes death.
None of us can escape God’s judgment. As Satan is bound, so are we. Either we will come before Moses seat where all are found guilty, or we shall appear before the judgment seat of Jesus Christ. We live in a kingdom, in a world where men govern and Satan reigns as king. We need to be born again; born into the kingdom where Jesus reigns in those who believe: Born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the Word of God, which lives and abides for ever. (1Pet 1:23)”
Therefore, what must we do to be born again and to enter the Kingdom of Jesus Christ?
– Hear and believe that Jesus is One LORD: Hear O Israel the LORD God is One LORD; (Deut 6:4)
– Believe and understand the Christ is: Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. (Isaiah 9:6)
– To comprehend that Jesus is both LORD and Christ: Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ. (Acts 2:36)
– We must repent and be baptised in the name of Jesus Christ: (Jesus Christ is the name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.) Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. (Acts 2:38)
– And keep the Faith of Jesus and love one another as He commanded we do for these two things fulfill all the Law and the Prophets. (Mark 12:29) (Matt 22:40)
