PREPARE FOR WAR

PREPARE FOR A CHRISTIAN CIVIL WAR ALSO READ; WHEN THE CHURCH BECOMES A BUSINESS

INTRODUCTION:

The Church of God at large has lost the original pattern message which was given to the apostolic fathers called The Gospel of The Kingdom. This original Gospel structure has rather fallen in ruins as the Babylonish spirit of worldliness has been at work since the original apostolic fathers set the original foundations in place.

This is in fulfillment of the vision of John in the Book of Revelations chapters 17 and 18. In the vision, we see the apostate and harlot religious order called Mystery Babylon persecuting and bringing ruins to the original church order just as the original Jerusalem was brought to ruins and plundered in the days of Jeremiah. This has been fulfilled as The Church System of today (The harlot) and other corrupted churches (the harlot’s daughters) replaced true worship in the Spirit and truth with empty liturgies and religious formalisms without any life and revelation.

The vision of John in Revelation does not end this way but rather shows the calling of the people of God out of Babylon for the work of rebuilding the CHURCH. This is fulfilled when we hear the voice of the Spirit saying, COME OUT OF HER, MY PEOPLE…”. Just as The Lord started a work of restoration of Jerusalem by sending builders in the days of Zechariah (See Zechariah 1), in our days we believe God is using the ministry of the prophets and apostles to rebuild the original Gospel-structure of the Heavenly Jerusalem.

BABYLON: THE APOSTATE CHURCH ORDER 

 The present desolation has produced a false and counterfeit order of the church. While the true church is built up with divine truths that are incorruptible and life-giving, Satan has corrupted churches through the antichrist spirit that deceives many. This apostate church system is seen with a cup full of the wine of her fornications and riding upon a beast and clothed with jewels and precious things.

The symbolism here is rich and we can use the message found in the symbolism to say a few things:

  • The wine she carries here represents teachings that intoxicate the people with idolatrous desires and worldliness (See Revelation 17:2). Enticed by the heady wine of the harlot’s house, with its numbing of the spiritual senses and its unrestrained religious passion and carnal sensuality. “The figure of the drinking of the wine speaks of participating in something that influences you. Here it signifies participating in the strong passion of her prostitution, which effected a departure from God and an entering into her sins. It causes a drunkenness, a stupor, to come upon the people who participate with her. They cannot think clearly and are led astray like the fool.”

Vladimir Lenin was not speaking an original thought when he said that “religion is the opiate of the people.” The thought that we have before us now is exactly that thought! The Holy Spirit spoke it two thousand years before Lenin recognized it! Mystery Babylon is said to have made the inhabitants of the earth drunk with the wine of her fornication. An opiate puts people to sleep; wine puts them into a stupor. It is only the gospel and the living power of Christ that causes people to awake from their sleep and arise from their death so that they may walk in the light of the Lord.

  •  The woman seated on a beast represents that she agrees with the political systems of a world kingdom under the rule of Satan. She makes the kings and the rulers of the world drunk with the wine of her fornications. She is just like Jezebel who is married to Ahab, the king of Israel. She has a table where she feeds the prophets of Baal. These make the children of Israel go astray. When Jesus said my kingdom is not of this present order, she made alliances with the present world order (See Revelation 17:3).
  • The woman is adorned with different ornaments this represents an ostentatious life filled with material riches rather than spiritual riches (See Revelation 17:4).

This is the corrupting influence of Transactional and Merchandising Christianity, the trading she is involved in is with the merchants of the earth She is the one behind the CHURCH SPEAKING THE LANGUAGE OF BUSINESS. This deception of Satan brings defilement to those in search of true worship through the Christian faith (See Revelation 18:11-14) Read WHEN THE CHURCH BECOMES A BUSINESS.

  • The woman has daughters or offspring representing churches that are following the pattern of her worldliness. These are all dead church systems without the light of revelation (See Revelation 17:5, 18:7).

The false church is “Mystery Babylon,” the “scarlet-clad woman,” who has apostatized from her true husband and is now committing fornication with the world. If she had not one time walked with Christ she would not be known as a “church,” nor would her fling with the world constitute “fornication.”

WHAT IS A HARLOT?

The harlot is a woman who sells that which is her characteristic honor and glory and lives in dissipation, a woman without honor, who lives in most intimate relation and intercourse with men outside of the sacred bond of marriage. In union with her many lovers, this woman brings forth a vast company of harlot daughters like unto herself, filling the whole world with the filthiness and abominations of her lewdness and fornication. The true church is the “Heavenly Jerusalem,” the “sun-clad woman,” who brings forth a manchild who is destined to rule all nations with a rod of iron. These two churches are in the world together and the world cannot tell the difference, but the destiny of them is very different. Babylon is destroyed, and the true church becomes a kingdom of priests, reigning with Christ over all things; the nations of them that are saved shall walk in its light and the kings of the whole earth shall bring their glory and honor into it. Great is the mystery!

The true church is the spiritual bride of Christ, engrafted into Him by a divine union of soul and spirit, by which we are made one in Him. But that counterfeit church is the church that still bears the name of the church, still appears as the church in the world, claims or pretends to be the church in the world, outwardly also looks like the church, has its ministers and program, the preaching of scripture and teaching, hymns of praise and worship, and all kinds of institutions and societies besides, but employs all the blessings she has outwardly received in the service of antichrist.

The Ministers and Pastors work for the antichrist. Publicly she displays all the signs of the antichrist and all her members she educates to work for the beast and his kingdom. She enjoys the favor, goodwill, and intimate attention of the world, of the great and the mighty and the strong and the rich and the accomplished in the world. And they bless and deck her with all kinds of precious jewels and gold. She becomes great and powerful, even recognized by the government of the world, and enjoys governmental favors. And the more she labors in the interest of the antichristian kingdom, the further she rides that wild beast with the seven heads and the ten horns, the more she enjoys the favor of the dragon: for she is nothing but his whore and allows herself to be the instrument of antichrist.

God has only one church, not one thousand and one. We nowhere read in scripture “Christ and His churches.” No, no! It is always Christ and “the church.” Of course, this one church is of necessity divided up into many local assemblies for gathering for worship, ministry, and fellowship. These various locales of gathering are called “churches,” [ekklesia] just as we have the “seven churches which are in Asia” in the book of Revelation. But God does not have a “Baptist Church” a “Methodist Church” a “Pentecostal Church and her offspring” a “Catholic Church” and a “Seventh Day Adventist Church” which refuse to have anything to do with one another! The Holy Spirit gave the world but one body, one faith, and one spirit (Eph. 4:4-6), with the Lord Jesus Christ as the sole legislator. The many bodies, many faiths, and many creeds, and many legislators of the present day, constitute nothing more than spiritual prostitution, they are harlots one and all, who are living apart from their only lawful Husband and in love with and in intimate union with many lovers!

We are not unmindful that a merciful and compassionate God has used all these in the salvation of souls and in bringing blessings to humanity. The Lord has, in mercy, allowed the least faithless of the popular churches to declare enough of the gospel to lead men to the Savior. Some of these have found the blessing of the Holy Spirit and His gifts. Occasionally some of their number receive miraculous answers to prayer. But from here on, practically everything that is taught and done is nothing but carnality and flesh, defilement, and shame: nothing but the precepts of the General Overseers, the traditions of men, and the lies and deceptions of the antichrist. But TODAY, there is a higher walk, an undefiled way, to which all must commit who would know the full blessings and favor of their sovereign Lord, and who would serve Him acceptably and know the joy of the ultimate in attainment and accomplishment in His glorious Kingdom of Life, Light, and Love!

We have heard many so-called Gospels. The world is full of poor, deluded souls who are trying to establish their creed of imaginings and mistakes. Today, everyone with a little bit of preacher’s “anointing” is attempting to get themselves a congregation, a following, trying to build a little kingdom. But a new day has dawned! A day when the pure and unadulterated gospel of the kingdom must go forth to the whole world! [Mathew 24:14]

You will find in the book of Proverbs that there is a true church and there is a false church [Proverbs7:1-18]. In the book of Revelation, they are called the bride of Christ and the Whore. In the book of Proverbs, the bride of Christ and the Jezebel spirit are presented under the figures of the virtuous woman and the strange woman. Proverbs chapter thirty-one gives you the characteristics of the virtuous woman, and Proverbs chapter seven gives you the essence of the strange woman. Here’s how you can identify a soulish or false ministry. First, they will flatter you! Then they will substitute emotion and religious fervor for the anointing to seduce you. The main way this harlot’s “anointing” is seducing the church is by preachers going forth in an entertainment-based, man-centered, need-oriented thrust, keeping the Lord’s people in constant need so that they can come back every week and deliver them. The constant “altar calls” in which the same people go upfront time after time to be prayed for, for the same things, to dedicate, rededicate, and then rededicate again and again, to get all encouraged and blessed, to receive their weekly “fix” so they can make it through to the next meeting, is simply the young man void of understanding returning over and over and over again to the harlot’s house for his fill of loves! THINK OF IT!

A true ministry will grow you up unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ! A true ministry will bring you to know God for yourself and work himself out of a job! A true ministry will not desire to rule you or dominate you! A true ministry will support you and serve you, not control or manipulate you! A true ministry will give you the word of God by the Spirit and then commit you into the faithful hands of the Father to learn by your own experience the ways and dealings of the Lord! A true ministry will encourage you to hear from God by the Spirit out of the anointing that abides within you through the Christ in you, Your Hope of Glory! In Conclusion, the preaching of the Gospel of the Kingdom will sharply divide the Church into two camps, and since the Pentecostal Church system and other Man-made and Man centered churches are incompatible with the Kingdom of GOD, the gospel of the Kingdom will be seen as a message coming to disrupt the business of the Church hence the eruption of WAR. These Saul order Church will respond with a murderous rage, and aided by political power will persecute the true church.
