Standing For Christ In The Face of Promotion

Hi D____,

It is so good to hear from you again.

You are being tried by God, not for God to see what you will do. He already knows exactly what you are going to do. That was decided “before the world began.” What this trial is all about is to show you what you are. Are you going to allow the temptation of being elevated in this church (“all of the kingdoms of this earth and their glory”) to rob you of your opportunity to rule this earth with Christ? I have faith that you will not make that mistake.

It would be good for you to read Rev 10 and Rev 11. Rev 10 is about the “little book.” Rev 11 is about what is in that “little book.” Now if you go to Ezekiel 2 you will be told what this is all about. Read that whole chapter. Notice what the last verse of Ezekiel 2 says is in that little book. That is ALL that is in that little book. You must come to realize this Truth. We are part of God’s “two witnesses.” The reason Rev 11 follows Rev 10 is to show us what we will experience when we are faithful to the words of that “little book.” There is no ‘great end time revival’ in that “little book.” There is only “mourning, lamentation and woe.” That is all there is. There is “no rain during the days of [ the prophecy of] the two witnesses.” NONE! You, like Christ and like all of His witnesses, are not called to win the world to God. Babylon does that:

Mat 23:15 Woe unto you, [ Christian] scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.

This is the effect of all the doctrines of orthodox Christianity, ” the beast that comes up out of the earth.. with two horns like a lamb.”

Rev 13:11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb

This is the part of our walk which we must all experience while we are still “in Babylon.” And what is the Truth of this “beast” that comes up, not “out of the sea” of mankind, but “out of the earth” of God’s “many called,” but not the “few chosen?” Here is this verse in its totality:

Rev 13:11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

This is why Christ told the church of His day:

Mat 23:15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.

And sure enough this ‘beast that comes up out of the earth “looking [ so much like] the Lamb” of God, makes his converts to worship the image of the beast that came up out of the sea. Instead of nurturing their converts in the Truth of God’s Word, they see these converts as nothing more than tithe- paying cash cows. The poor unsuspecting convert is told that he is entitled, as the son of God, to the best of everything this world has to offer. And furthermore if he will only “plant a seed” and tithe, he will be given more that he could possibly want in this physical life.

Sadly, this is God’s assessment of this whole picture:

Jer 5:31 The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?

God is already directing you in this matter. I believe that if you read these chapters of His Word which I have outlined above, you will see why you must do what you must in this situation.

Read these chapters and get back to me. You need to know what exactly is in that ‘little book.’ Let me know how it goes.

Mike
