Today’s Scripture reading from Ezekiel just goes to show you how unworthy we are as a people and how great God’s mercy is. The atheist and the unbelief of a professing Christian rationalize that God does not see our unrighteousness; otherwise the God of Creation would clobber whole cities with a loud voice from Heaven. Little do they realize that in this life, He is always revealing His divine character and purpose upon the earth. The Lord gives us time between Katrina and Sandy to repent and change. This begins at the center of our motivations, in our personality. If we are not Christ-centered or have “the mind of Christ” (I Cor. 2:16), we are not eating right, we have an unhealthy diet, we have an unclean spirit i.e. a motive that
What was the reason that our God carried away Israel and put them in captivity in foreign lands?
Because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD their God, but transgressed His covenant, and all that Moses, the servant of the LORD, commanded, and would not hear them nor do them.”
Why was the transgression of our ancestors that caused our GOD to punish them? They transgressed His covenant!
The people of GOD have broken His conditional covenant, but have you wondered what the plan is of our enemies? What does the Masonic order and related organizations want. Here is their plan:
“God’s plan is dedicated to the unification of all races, religions, and creeds. This plan, dedicated to the new order of things, is to make all things new—a new nation, a nonsectarian religion that has already been called the religion of ‘The Great Light’…to unfold the New Age of the world—A ‘Novus Ordo Seclorum’.” C. William Smith, The New Age Magazine, “God’s Plan in America,” September 1950, page 551.
We want nothing of this plan. We don’t want the religion of the world. We don’t want to be unified; we want to be separate.
A hummingbird does not eat hamburgers. A cow does not eat hamburgers; if it does, it becomes a mad cow. Cannibals eat other cannibals. Wolves eat sheep; that’s what they do. From our Scripture reading today, would you eat what Peter had to feed you? This is not going to be a sermon on the dietary laws per se, but rather how the dietary laws are an allegory for what we are. Last week we were asked what our responsibilities are. I don’t think that question can be answered unless we know who and what we are. When I ask you, “What are you?” I am asking you in reference to the dietary laws. Are you clean or unclean? Jesus said we are sheep. Are sheep clean? Yes, they are. Are wolves clean? No, they are not. Are you a wolf or a sheep? This sermon is dedicated to the lost sheep of Israel.
The vital aspects of consumption for both spiritual and physical will determine whether you are clean or unclean.
Part 1: A look into the dietary laws of Deuteronomy and Leviticus and how the clean and unclean leads to an understanding of how to discern righteous and unrighteous beliefs.
Part 2: The story of Peter and Cornelius; how Ezekiel explains idols of the heart; the occult presumption of authority
The first fourteen verses of the 26th Chapter of Isaiah Sets forth the triumph of the Kingdom and the destruction of the enemies of the Kingdom. In the 13th and 14th verses Isaiah referred to lords who had ruled over God's people in the past, stating in the 14th verse that they were now deceased that they would never live again. We say that the expression, '''they are deceased,'' is ''they are Rephaim. '' Attention was called to the fact that Rephaim referred to shades, fearful ones! Ghosts etc.
Thus the Rephaim were the disembodied spirits of the offspring of the angels who begat children by taking the daughters of men for wives. As a result of these forbidden marriages, we found that added to the sensual and carnal- the result of the temptation and fall-was now added highly-increased discernment and understanding but wholly devoid of spiritual direction. This enhanced the violent and power of those who exercised control over the population, the lords who ruled over them.
Because of the rule of the antediluvian giants, the earth became corrupt, meaning genetically mixed and degraded and filled with violence, necessitating its destruction by the waters of the Floods so that the offspring of all genetically mixed plants, animals, Adamites and fallen angels might be destroyed and the rule exercised by the angels themselves brought to an end.
