    WE PASTORS ARE SMART! PART 5

    Hos. 4:6, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.”

    𝙏𝙃𝙀𝙍𝙀 𝘼𝙍𝙀 𝙉𝙊 𝙂𝙀𝙉𝙀𝙍𝘼𝙏𝙄𝙊𝙉𝘼𝙇 𝘾𝙐𝙍𝙎𝙀𝙎.

    We introduced this subject in the previous part indicating clearly that what Moses wrote in Exo. 20:5 about generational curses has been revised and revoked in Deut. 24:16; therefore, that law is no longer applicable, not even in Israel then.

    Another factor I will need you to observe from the words of Moses is;

    Exo. 20:5, “Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that HATE ME; 6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.”

    So two statements are operational in this passage. One is those who have hatred for God, and these are the ones that ought to attract generational curses according to the words of Moses. But in verse 6, he talked about those who love God and the only thing they can ever attract is the MERCIES OF GOD unto THOUSANDS of them that love Him, not just to the fourth or fifth generations as you see in verse 5.

    My question will be to you as a believer, which verse of the above scriptures do you fall into? 𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗚𝗼𝗱 𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗻, 𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘄𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗛𝗶𝗺 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗛𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝘂𝘀; w𝗵𝘆 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘀𝘂𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 g𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝘀❓

    It shows the pastors are just being smart telling you what is not true. But you are buying into it all the same, because you no longer have the Spirit or senses of your own anymore even though you claim to be born again.

    Why are the pastors not quoting verse 6 of the words of Moses? They hid that from you because that will expose their lies, and you are too lazy to read it up for yourself and believe it for your freedom in Christ.

    Look at this further;

    Ezek.18:1, “The word of the LORD came unto me again, saying,
    2 What mean ye, that ye use this proverb concerning the land of Israel, saying, The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are set on edge?
    3 As I live, saith the Lord GOD, ye shall not have occasion any more to use this proverb in Israel.
    4 Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die…..
    20 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗲𝘁𝗵, 𝗶𝘁 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗱𝗶𝗲. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿, 𝗻𝗲𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗯𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗻: 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗲𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗲𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗲 𝘂𝗽𝗼𝗻 𝗵𝗶𝗺, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗱𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗲 𝘂𝗽𝗼𝗻 𝗵𝗶𝗺.❞

    Friends, there is no scripture even in the days of Israel that supports you ever suffering from what your Father did. That law was revoked completely for the Israelites, yet that’s what you proclaim today for the believer in Christ. It’s rather unfortunate for the saints are truly being destroyed for lack of knowledge.

    Let me even ask you this question, according to Joshua 24:2;

    “And Joshua said unto all the people, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗱𝘄𝗲𝗹𝘁 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲, 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗧𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗵, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗵𝗮𝗺, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗡𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗿: 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗴𝗼𝗱𝘀.❞

    Meaning, Abraham’s father and grandfather were Idol worshippers.

    𝙎𝙤 𝙬𝙝𝙤 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙙𝙪𝙘𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙙𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝘼𝙗𝙧𝙖𝙝𝙖𝙢 𝙖𝙛𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙂𝙤𝙙 𝙝𝙖𝙨 𝙘𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙙 𝙝𝙞𝙢❓

    Which scriptures shows that Abraham was delivered from the sins of his fathers? Something must be wrong with our faith!

    Hear what Prophet Jeremiah has to say on this ;

    Jer. 31:29, “In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children’s teeth are set on edge.
    30 But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge.
    31 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah.”

    So what New Covenant was he talking about if not the New Covenant in Christ that we are all in now? See this;

    Gal. 3:16, “Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.
    26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus…. 29 And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.”

    𝗦𝗼 𝗶𝗳 𝗔𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗵𝗮𝗺 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗙𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗱𝗶𝗱𝗻’𝘁 𝗴𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗶𝗻𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗳𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿’𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝘂𝗯𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝗳 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗼𝗳 𝗳𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗲 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗹𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗚𝗼𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁❓

    Somebody says but Pastor, these things are working! Only because you believe because it has become your faith. For to them that believe, all things are possible. It is your faith in those acts that make them work, otherwise you are a free man in Christ.

    The pastors know this. You try to find out how many of them went through deliverances. Why has their faith in Christ worked for them, but it’s not working for you?

    Yes the pastors are smart! Again, let me say it loud and clear. There are no generational curses.

    WE PASTORS ARE SMART! PART 4

    Hos. 4:6,𝙈𝙮 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙙𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙮𝙚𝙙 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙠 𝙤𝙛 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬𝙡𝙚𝙙𝙜𝙚: 𝙗𝙚𝙘𝙖𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪 𝙝𝙖𝙨𝙩 𝙧𝙚𝙟𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬𝙡𝙚𝙙𝙜𝙚, 𝙄 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙖𝙡𝙨𝙤 𝙧𝙚𝙟𝙚𝙘𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙚, 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪 𝙨𝙝𝙖𝙡𝙩 𝙗𝙚 𝙣𝙤 𝙥𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙢𝙚: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.”

    So as I stated earlier, most of us ministers use the above quoted passage to preach to the Church the awareness of what their problems are and the demons that are after them as well as the curses following them from their parents. And because they don’t know this, hence they are being destroyed by the devil.

    So more often than not, the minister here exposes what he supposes to be the wiles and tricks of the devil fully; therefore, majoring and giving to the doctrines of devils and not of Christ.𝗠𝗮𝘆 𝗜 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘂𝘀 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻, 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗼 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗹𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗹 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗲 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗹𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗚𝗼𝗱❓

    It will do us good to stop abusing the above passage by using it to destroy people’s lives for whom Christ died and yet we claim to be an apostle of some sort. Diligent study is required to deliver the message of God to His people.

    𝙉𝙊 𝙂𝙀𝙉𝙀𝙍𝘼𝙏𝙄𝙊𝙉𝘼𝙇 𝘾𝙐𝙍𝙎𝙀𝙎.

    Yes, you heard me well beloved! Now the major scriptures relied upon to perpetrate this Generational Curses doctrine is Exo. 20. What baffles me is that these are the same people that say we have nothing to do with the Old Testament. So why are we pushing a doctrine of the Old Testament on the saints of the New Testament?

    This really, for me, is a double standard. They are just trying to prove how much of a minister they are, and that the saints are the ignorant ones that must regularly go through deliverances because of what their fathers did.

    And so we tell them the scriptures says, “My people are destroyed for the lack of knowledge.” Therefore, they ought to have the knowledge of their father’s shrine in the village and how many sins he committed that is now mitigating against them, hence they can’t make progress.

    But my dear minister, you err not knowing the scriptures neither the power of God to save to the utmost in Christ.

    Listen to this;

    .”𝗘𝘅𝗼. 𝟮𝟬:𝟱, ❞𝗧𝗵𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗹𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗯𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝘆𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺, 𝗻𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺: 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗜 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗢𝗥𝗗 𝘁𝗵𝘆 𝗚𝗼𝗱 𝗮𝗺 𝗮 𝗷𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗚𝗼𝗱, 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘂𝗽𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗻 𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗺𝗲.❞

    Here God was speaking to Israel as His bride, hence the use of the word, “jealous God.” Meaning, I don’t want to share your fidelity as my wife with idols, other husbands. So in the true sense, this has nothing to do with the Christian community.

    Besides it is those who HATE GOD and am I am sure you as a believer in Christ do not hate God in anyway. So expect or suffer from Generational curses?

    As I said, you can get full details from my website, www.davidogaga.org.

    Now when we get to the Book of Deuteronomy, which actually means a revision of the law, the same Moses said in Deut. 24:16,

    ❞𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗯𝗲 𝗽𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗻, 𝗻𝗲𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗻 𝗯𝗲 𝗽𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀: 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗲 𝗽𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝘀𝗶𝗻.❞

    Did you hear that? So where is your authority for pushing this doctrine?

    Moses by himself destroyed what he said and sets the captives free. In fact, when King Amaziah came to power, he simply put the above scriptures to practice.

    2Kings 14:1, “In the second year of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel reigned Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah.

    2 He was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem.

    3 And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, yet not like David his father: he did according to all things as Joash his father did.

    4 Howbeit the high places were not taken away: as yet the people did sacrifice and burnt incense on the high places.

    5 And it came to pass, as soon as the kingdom was confirmed in his hand, that he slew his servants which had slain the king his father.

    6 𝘽𝙪𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙡𝙙𝙧𝙚𝙣 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙢𝙪𝙧𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙡𝙚𝙬 𝙣𝙤𝙩: 𝙖𝙘𝙘𝙤𝙧𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙪𝙣𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙬𝙝𝙞𝙘𝙝 𝙞𝙨 𝙬𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙣 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙗𝙤𝙤𝙠 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙡𝙖𝙬 𝙤𝙛 𝙈𝙤𝙨𝙚𝙨, 𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙇𝙊𝙍𝘿 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙙, 𝙨𝙖𝙮𝙞𝙣𝙜, 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙖𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙨𝙝𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙗𝙚 𝙥𝙪𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙙𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙝 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙡𝙙𝙧𝙚𝙣, 𝙣𝙤𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙡𝙙𝙧𝙚𝙣 𝙗𝙚 𝙥𝙪𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙙𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙝 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙖𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙨; 𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙢𝙖𝙣 𝙨𝙝𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙗𝙚 𝙥𝙪𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙙𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙝 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙤𝙬𝙣 𝙨𝙞𝙣.”

    How plain are the scriptures folks. The Israeli community abandoned this doctrine a long time ago, but the modern supposed Christian community is still suffering from what their fathers did even when they were yet born again into the Kingdom of God.

    This is so unfortunate what we teach and practice as Christians bought and washed with the precious Blood of the Lamb. We have indirectly made the sacrifice of Christ of none effect all because of what we can gain from the saints who are too lazy to search the Word for themselves, unlike the Berean Christians who still searched the Word even after Paul with his kind of caliber had finished teaching them.

    Acts 17:10, “And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews.11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.”

    Where is the nobility of the average Christian today in terms of searching the Word of God?

    In most congregations, especially in the claimed prophetic ones, the people don’t even come to church with a copy of the Bible.

    And there is nothing specific they teach them during these services except their being delivered from nonexistent generational curses.

    How do we expect the Church to grow into the stature of the measure of Christ as Sons of God. Go study Ezek. 18:1-20 as I will touch on it next.

    Again, the Pastors thought to be very smart, but only because those being led are just being gullible and too lazy to be true sons of God birthed by the Spirit of the Father.

    WE PASTORS ARE SMART! PART 3

    Hos. 4:6, ❞𝗠𝘆 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝘆𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗼𝗳 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗹𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: .”𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝘄 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝘆 𝗚𝗼𝗱, 𝗜 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗮𝗹𝘀𝗼 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝘆 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗻.❞

    ❞…𝗦𝗲𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝘄 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝘆 𝗚𝗼𝗱.❞

    This is the greatest indictment that the priesthood could get from the Father. But why? You may ask. Listen to this;

    Ampl. Mal. 2:5, “My covenant [on My part with Levi] was to give him life and peace, because [on his part] of the [reverent and worshipful] fear with which [the priests] would revere Me and stand in awe of My name.

    6 The law of truth was in [Levi’s] mouth, and unrighteousness was not found in his lips; he walked with Me in peace and uprightness and turned many away from iniquity.

    7 𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀𝘁❜𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝗽𝘀 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗸𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗽𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗹𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲 [𝗼𝗳 𝗠𝘆 𝗹𝗮𝘄], 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗸 (𝗶𝗻𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗿𝗲) 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵; 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗼𝗿𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗵𝗼𝘀𝘁𝘀.

    8 But you have turned aside out of the way; you have caused many to stumble by your instruction [in the law]; you have corrupted the covenant of Levi [with Me], says the Lord of hosts.”

    Can you see that? When the priesthood forsakes the truth of God’s Word for the people, they end up in rejection from the Lord.

    Now this can happen and yet the ministry is still going on unknown to even the followers of such ministry.

    God’s intentions are that the people receive the mind of God as contained in His Word of truth from the priesthood. The true covenant God made with you as the minister is the ability to dispense His Word, not your word. Neither your petty doctrines but essentially His proceeding words that lead men back to Him as their true source and Father and not just you.

    𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗽𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. That’s the growth of those receiving the Word you preach and teach into more of a Christ like nature (Eph. 4:11-13). If all you do is teach to entice the people’s minds towards you, then this is what God is regretting about in the above passage.

    What follows? ”❞𝗜 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗮𝗹𝘀𝗼 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝘆 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗻.❞ So here we see the consequences of the rejection of the true knowledge of God by the priesthood.

    That not only those who then were alive should be deprived of the priesthood, rejected; but their children who naturally should have succeeded them in the ministry are also now rejected as ministers.

    This is one of the major dangers of who is your spiritual father? Is he a rejected priest for forsaking the truth of God’s word? Then don’t forget you are also. And though in the ministry you may just be doing your own thing, because the true covenant of life and peace that the Father will always have with His called ministers will not be with you.

    This is why Jesus would say in Matt. 7:22, “Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 𝟮𝟯 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗜 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺, 𝗜 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗸𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝘆𝗼𝘂: 𝗱𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗺𝗲, 𝘆𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘁𝘆.❞

    The word INIQUITY = is anomia, which means illegality; i.e., violation of law, wickedness, transgression of the law, unrighteousness.

    By implication, you can do ministry with signs and wonders following without operating under the law of God as constituted; and that is what leads to your rejection.

    When He said, ” ❞𝗜 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗸𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝘆𝗼𝘂,❞ that means I never had communion with you as my bride,

    just like Adam KNEW His wife and she conceived… (Gen. 4:1). So here the Lord is speaking to the priesthood who has rejected the knowledge of God that I could not birth the man-child that was to rule the nations through you.

    Know this. The true knowledge of God is his law (Word), His providence, His holy nature, His hatred of willful sinning, which is the rejection of His revealed proceeding word and power to deal with such situations, especially as it pertains to the priesthood; i.e, His rejection of the same.

    Again, I state here that 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗹𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗚𝗼𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁𝘀.

    Let us not be too smart and turn it around to blame the Saints for the failure of the Church in her role on the earth.

    Hos. 4:6, “𝗠𝘆 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝘆𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗼𝗳 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗹𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲: 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗹𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.”

    Again, I had this question come to me about .”𝙉𝙤 𝙜𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡 𝙘𝙪𝙧𝙨𝙚𝙨.❞ As I mentioned in Part 1,

    I will therefore briefly touched on it, as I have a full study with mp3 free downloads on this website (www.davidogaga.org).

    But before doing that, let me further address the above quoted passage. The first thing here is, .”𝙈𝙮 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙙𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙮𝙚𝙙 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙠 𝙤𝙛 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬𝙡𝙚𝙙𝙜𝙚.❞

    So the knowledge of what? Israel simply don’t have the knowledge of God, nor of spiritual things like in our case as it relates to our position in Christ.

    They lacked their own interest in the things of God, neither were they aware of the danger that was to befall them. They just walked on blindly and perished. It can be seen also that their ignorance about God was willful.

    Again, we re-emphasize that this passage has nothing to do with you knowing the powers of Ashimodi, witches and wizards, neither the root causes of your problems as enshrined in your grandfather’s supposed shrine or the secrets of darkness. No sir!

    𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗼 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗛𝗶𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗳𝗹𝗼𝘄𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿.

    Thus the Pastors will not tell you this so they can keep you in perpetual bondage to their doctrines of demons; therefore creating fears in you that you might continue to submit to their “Can I go deeper“ tactics.

    So the Word says, ❞…𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗹𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲…❞

    Had Israel sought wisdom, their true God, they would have been a wise nation among the nations (Deut. 4:6-7) and improved their lives; but here they rejected the fountain of life-God.

    Same scenario we can see today within the Body of Christ, that men are not prepared to seek God for themselves to know His mind and will, even in their walk here on earth.

    The religious pastors of today have enslaved us to traditions of the elders, and we call it contending for the faith.

    Check your churches to see if the people truly know the God they are serving for themselves. Therefore,

    .”𝗧𝗵𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗹𝘁 𝗯𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗲.❞

    Just like the priesthood of Jeroboam with his calves in all corners. Whosoever wants to be a priest (Parish Pastor), just provide the calves (money) needed and there you have the altar to serve in.

    Is there any difference today? Isn’t most of our churches not really glorified shrines, a consecrated priesthood for the highest bidder?

    For, “After this thing Jeroboam returned not from his evil way, but ,”𝙢𝙖𝙙𝙚 𝙖𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙡𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙥𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙝𝙞𝙜𝙝 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙚𝙨: 𝙬𝙝𝙤𝙨𝙤𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙬𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙, 𝙝𝙚 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙚𝙘𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙝𝙞𝙢, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙝𝙚 𝙗𝙚𝙘𝙖𝙢𝙚 𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙥𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙝𝙞𝙜𝙝 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙚𝙨,❞ 1Kgs. 13:33.

    This is after He has set up a similar shrine in Bethel to prevent people from going to Jerusalem to worship, (1Kgs. 12:32).

    Now you can understand why Paul told Timothy not to lay hands suddenly on anyone for ministry? (1Tim. 5:22.)

    Don’t forget Jeroboam had a genuine call (1Kgs. 11:31) before he dropped to this level of idol worship.

    Is history not repeating itself in our days?

    Yes! the Pastors of today are smart people laying the blame of spiritual ignorance on the saints, even when God is rejecting us because of our ways and lack of true knowledge. But there is a remnant and there is hope.

    Hos.4:6 “𝗠𝘆 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝘆𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗼𝗳 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗹𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children”

    Have you ever heard the above quoted passage being used by the ministers in beating their audience on the head?

    Have you really wondered who God was talking to ?

    Who truly lacked knowledge in the above pasage ?

    You see, God wasn’t quarrelling with the Church but with the Pastors who have refused to embrace the true knowledge of God.Read it again!

    The consequences is that God reject the priests and that snow ball into all those he is pastoring and so it becomes a house of spiritual illiterates.

    They might get the miracles because of His name sake, but yet they are all still walking and living in destruction for lack of true knowledge.

    Can you see why most Christians, though they have been in the faith for so many years, yet are still tossed to and fro by every wind of doctrine?

    Can you picture how they don’t even know what it means to be “born from above” except they think you only need to belong to a church, and a big name for that matter ?

    Friends, as a minister before you heat your audience with the above scriptures, find out if God is not talking to you first.

    And for the audience don’t let the minister intimidate you by telling you of generational curses of your fathers hence you are not prospering by guoting to you ❞𝙢𝙮 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙙𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙮𝙚𝙙 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙠 𝙤𝙛 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬𝙡𝙚𝙙𝙜𝙚❞

    The true knowledge we seek to know here is the knowledge of God and not that of demons. It is called the law of the Lord.

    So you see how smart we are as pastors? For we blame it all on our audience by excusing ourselves.

    Wake up church, inherit your inheritance through the right knowledge.

    MAJOR SIGNS OF FALSE APOSTLES/PROPHETIC TEACHERS

    Firstly, ALL are NOT Apostles even though now everybody seems to be one or a prophet by carrying that title which is a major wave

    Apostles clarify foundational doctrines and function as administrators. They MAY preach the message of salvation ( John 3:16) as led by the Holy Spirit, because Jesus is the cornerstone of everything they do (Ephesians 2:20), but their teachings (the Kingdom of God) is their main focus.

    The Apostolic office is not a choice of men or systems but by God Himself in Christ. Taking the title does not make you one, nor attending Apostolic conferences convert you to becoming one.

    You benefit from Apostolic conferences in getting your area of calling strengthened by way of knowledge impartation, getting the vision of your calling clearer.

    Timothy as a son to Paul remained a Pastor though he followed Apostle Paul and even became a co- labourer with Paul, the Apostle.

    That did not transform Timothy into an Apostle. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗡𝗔 𝗶𝗻 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗵𝘆 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗣𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗔𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰. He knew that and was contented being the Pastor God called him to be.

    Paul did not force him to become an Apostle by consecrating him into that office because he was following him or receiving his teachings even as a son.

    You don’t have to be an Apostle because you are my spiritual son. Be content with who God says you are.

    And with the life of Paul;

    2Tim. 1:1, “Whereunto I am appointed a preacher,(herald, prophetic) and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.”

    But the primary calling of Paul was Apostolic, as a wise master builder when he saw the vision as a prophet, and structured the house ( the Church) with the teaching grace.

    JUST WHAT AND WHERE IS PARADISE? PART 9

    Luke 23:43, “And Jesus said to him, ‘Verily I say to thee, 𝗧𝗼-𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗹𝘁 𝗯𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗲,❞ 𝗬𝗟𝗧.

    And finally we look at the question or notion that Jesus went to HADES and took Paradise out of hell with Him, etc. The major scripture they rely on is 1Peter 3:18 which reads thus;

    “Christ also suffered. He died once for the sins of all us guilty sinners although he himself was innocent of any sin at any time, that he might bring us safely home to God. But though his body died, his spirit lived on, 19 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗶𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗲 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝟮𝟬 𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗼, 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗡𝗼𝗮𝗵, 𝗵𝗮𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝗳𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗚𝗼𝗱, though he waited patiently for them while Noah was building the ark. Yet only eight persons were saved from drowning in that terrible flood,” TLB.

    The word used here is spirit, which I supposed is the Grk= tartarow =Tartaros (the deepest abyss of Hades); to incarcerate in eternal torment:–cast down to hell, as seen in 2Pet. 2:4, “For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment…”

    And in relation to the above verse.. remember that the death of Christ judged sin, the law and death (Heb. 9:27-28). So they are not reserved in that realm waiting for some future judgment day.

    The death that Christ took on behalf of all mankind also included “the sons of God,” -“the Sethites”- “the fallen angels.” (Read up on who the fallen angels are on my wall.)

    But what was the outcome of this visit as seen in the passage of 1Pet 3 above? Look at it;

    1Peter 4:6, “𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗡𝗲𝘄𝘀 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗱 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝗱 — 𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗱 — 𝘀𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗯𝗼𝗱𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵, 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝘀 𝗚𝗼𝗱 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀,❞TLB.

    So we are told that when He died and visited the realm of the dead, those spirits of the saints of old, who did not have access in the spirit realm; because at that time Jesus had not been crucified as “they without us cannot be made perfect“ (Heb. 11:40), also came alive and got out of the graves.

    See it here. When He visited this realm (Matt. 27:52 )“.. 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗱; 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗯𝗼𝗱𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝘀𝗹𝗲𝗽𝘁 𝗮𝗿𝗼𝘀𝗲 53 And came out of the graves 𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many,” KJV.

    They rose in the same type of glorified Body that He had after the resurrection with which He walked on the earth for forty days and forty nights.

    So friends there is no scripture to back up the theory that Jesus separated Paradise from hell when He went there.

    So now when Paul said in 2Cor. 12:4,

    “How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter,”

    He was speaking of the full glory of the Church at the fullness of time when all things should be subject unto the Father (1Cor. 15:27-28).

    Therefore, Jesus speaking of the faith of the Centurion, a Gentile, as I said before, He said in Matt. 8:10;

    “When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.

    11 And I say unto you, 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗲𝘀𝘁, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘀𝗶𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗔𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗵𝗮𝗺, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗜𝘀𝗮𝗮𝗰, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗝𝗮𝗰𝗼𝗯, 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗱𝗼𝗺 𝗼𝗳 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗻.

    12 But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

    And right from that time, the Rabbin (Rabi) has never represented the glory and joy of the Kingdom of God under the notion of a feast. So here Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob are in feasting and in communion with the most eminent followers of God in Christ.

    Here it is in prophesy;

    Ampl. Isa. 25:6, ❞𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁 [𝗭𝗶𝗼𝗻] 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗼𝗿𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗵𝗼𝘀𝘁𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗮 𝗳𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 [𝘀𝘆𝗺𝗯𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝗼𝗳 𝗛𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘂𝗴𝘂𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗼𝗿𝗱 𝗼𝗻 𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗵, 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗮 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗴𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗺, 𝗷𝘂𝗱𝗴𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗼𝗿], 𝗮 𝗳𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝗲𝘀 — 𝗼𝗳 𝗳𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗼𝘄, 𝗼𝗳 𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗱.

    𝗔𝗕𝗥𝗔𝗛𝗔𝗠❜𝗦 𝗕𝗢𝗦𝗢𝗠

    This spiritual parable reflects the traditional idea that Abraham’s bosom is a figurative expression meaning heaven as the blissful and eternal abode of the saved. So say most evangelists in the churches today who graphically describe how the rich man died and went to hell; whereas the beggar died and went to heaven.

    Now, where, I ask, in the Bible is there any warrant for saying that heaven is “Abraham’s bosom?” If the popular preachers are right and heaven is Abraham’s bosom, then may I be permitted to ask what happened to the righteously departed who died in the ages before Abraham?

    What about Abel, Seth, Enoch and Noah? Where did they go to? Apparently heaven was not then open to receive visitors!

    .

    “𝗜𝗻 𝗔𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗵𝗮𝗺❜𝘀 𝗯𝗼𝘀𝗼𝗺❞ 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗮𝘃𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗵𝗼𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗵𝗮𝗺.

    The word bosom, used 41 times in the Bible, speaks of the custom in Christ’ days of the honoured guest who sits nearest the host so as to recline on his bosom.

    The word bosom always means the same thing – the area of the chest or breast of the human being;i.e., “𝗯𝗼𝘀𝗼𝗺 𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀.❞

    In John 13:23 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 ❞𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗿❞ 𝗼𝗳 𝗝𝗲𝘀𝘂𝘀 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁, 𝗝𝗼𝗵𝗻 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗻 𝗝𝗲𝘀𝘂𝘀❜ 𝗯𝗼𝘀𝗼𝗺. That is, he was reclining next to Jesus, in the most honoured position, showing the close, personal relationship that existed between Jesus and John, .”𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗲 ❞𝘄𝗵𝗼𝗺 𝗝𝗲𝘀𝘂𝘀 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱.❞

    In John 1:18 𝗝𝗲𝘀𝘂𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗴𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗼𝘀𝗼𝗺 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿, who has declared him. Here He possesses the closest intimacy with the Father.

    𝗦𝗼 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗟𝗮𝘇𝗮𝗿𝘂𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗼𝘀𝗼𝗺 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗵𝗮𝗺 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗳𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗱𝗼𝗺 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗙𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗔𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗵𝗮𝗺. Indicating that the honour the Jews had because of Abraham has shifted to the Gentiles who were without God in this world, as not being in the covenant of Israel (Eph. 2:11-13).

    So the Jews died to the life of bliss they had in the promises that Abraham had through the covenant that the Gentiles (Dogs) never had but now receiving that state of Joy and Feasting through the New Testament in the Blood of Jesus.

    To die in this sense means to be separated from the Life of Glory. Same way Adam died to the life of God in Eden .

    𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐉𝐞𝐰𝐬’ 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. The fig tree that was cursed was the House of Judah, never to produce the Old Testament rituals and priesthood and never to be able to have the laws marketed or pride themselves anymore to be the only favoured of the Lord.The Richman died!

    Luke 13: 28, “There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.

    29 And they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God.

    30 And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last.”

    𝗦𝗼 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗵𝗮𝗺’𝘀 𝗯𝗼𝘀𝗼𝗺 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗳𝗶𝘁 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗶𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝗚𝗼𝗱 𝗺𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗔𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗵𝗮𝗺 𝗮𝘀 𝘄𝗲 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗵𝗶𝗺. Very simple! (Gen. 12:1-3; 22:17-18) As he is the Father of all that believe. Acts 13:39, “And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.”

    Gal. 3:27-29, “And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.”

    So the Jewish nation died because the law died (Rom. 7:1+). No power, no dominion.

    𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗯𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗱, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗹.

    So in Matt. 21: 42, “Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?

    43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation (Gentiles) bringing forth the fruits thereof.”

    ”43 𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙨𝙖𝙮 𝙄 𝙪𝙣𝙩𝙤 𝙮𝙤𝙪, 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙙𝙤𝙢 𝙤𝙛 𝙂𝙤𝙙 𝙨𝙝𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙗𝙚 𝙩𝙖𝙠𝙚𝙣 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙮𝙤𝙪, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙜𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙣 𝙩𝙤 𝙖 𝙣𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 (𝙂𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙡𝙚𝙨) 𝙗𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙝 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙧𝙪𝙞𝙩𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙤𝙛.❞

    The Rich died to the joy of that the kingdom offers and Lazarus the Gentiles came in being in the Bosom of Abraham.

    To be continued.

    JUST WHAT AND WHERE IS PARADISE? PART 7

    Luke 23:43, “…To-day with me thou shalt be in the Paradise,” YLT.

    Luke 16:19-31.22, “And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗹𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗔𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗵𝗮𝗺❜𝘀 𝗯𝗼𝘀𝗼𝗺: 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗹𝘀𝗼 𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗱, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗯𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗱.❞

    The ❞5 𝘽𝙧𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙨.” Who are They?

    We already know that this is a parable. In order to trace these five brothers, we have to track the sons of Abraham through Isaac and Jacob. Then you look into his children to find out who has five children.

    The rich man is the son of Abraham through Isaac and Jacob, so going through the lists of the offspring of Abraham will reveal who had five brethren.

    So let’s quickly find that out as we read in Gen. 35:22-26;

    “Now the sons of Jacob were twelve…
    ”𝟮𝟯 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗵; 𝗥𝗲𝘂𝗯𝗲𝗻, 𝗝𝗮𝗰𝗼𝗯❜𝘀 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗻, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗼𝗻, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗟𝗲𝘃𝗶, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗝𝘂𝗱𝗮𝗵, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗜𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗭𝗲𝗯𝘂𝗹𝘂𝗻.❞

    So Judah ,that constitute the southern kingdom of the Jews had five brothers.

    With this the Pharisees knew who they were and who Christ was referring to. It was the House of Judah, the southern kingdom. So the people Jesus was talking to were the House of Judah.

    𝗗𝗢𝗚𝗦

    Those outside the Kingdom were often referred to as dogs (Rev. 22:14-15), even the Jews/Pharisees (Phil. 3:1-3). The very ones that licked the sores of Lazarus-Jesus. Ps. 22:16,
    ❞𝙁𝙤𝙧 𝙙𝙤𝙜𝙨 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙥𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙙 𝙢𝙚: 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙢𝙗𝙡𝙮 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙞𝙘𝙠𝙚𝙙 𝙝𝙖𝙨 𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙡𝙤𝙨𝙚𝙙 𝙢𝙚: 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙥𝙞𝙚𝙧𝙘𝙚𝙙 𝙢𝙮 𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙢𝙮 𝙛𝙚𝙚𝙩.❞

    This is prophetic of Jesus on the cross. Did you see it?

    Jesus used the name Lazarus to refer to Himself having just raised Lazarus from the grave, pointing to His resurrection after three days because the Jews/Pharisees derided Him (Luke 16:14-16).

    So this parable was against the Jews; it wasn’t essentially a doctrinal issue, but more of the punishment of the Jews for their rejection of Christ.

    See this;

    𝗜𝗡 𝗛𝗘𝗟𝗟

    Luke 16: 23, And 𝗶𝗻 𝗛𝗘𝗟𝗟 𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝘁 𝘂𝗽 𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝘆𝗲𝘀, 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.”

    Is Abraham’s bosom the same thing as Paradise?

    The Greek translation of 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗹❞ 𝗶𝘀 𝗛𝗔𝗗𝗘𝗦, which comes from the Greek A(I)DES. The “a” is a prefix which is equivalent to our “un-” and the stem “-id” means perceive.

    Thus we have UN-PERCEIVE or imperceptible; the unseen. That is Hades – 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘂𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘂𝗻𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗺.

    And in the old days a young couple seeking to be alone sought a hell, a place where they could make love without being seen by prying eyes.
    So they go to hell ..

    There is nothing that connotes a literal fire burning here in the true sense.

    The miserable ghettos of Europe, with their lives outside of Palestine are certainly vivid examples of the “hell” in which the rich man lifted up his eyes, being in torment! Fulfilling what Jesus said to the Jews;

    Matt. 8:11, “And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.
