SLIDE 2 “CHAPTER 7 THE INTERLUDE AND THE 144,000 IMAGE SLIDE”
God has put a heavy burden on me today to give us a warning and how He wants to protect us
We know we are in a pause in Revelation - The Interlude in chapter 7
The 4 spirits here are being held back by a angel of the Living God not to harm the earth, trees and seas
The 144,000 Jews who have been saved in Jesus now have been sealed and we pause here before the Gentiles ( those of the other nations are sealed)
So God has put this heavy burden on me that right here and to show us in His word how He wants to protect us as believers and even bring more into His kingdom through our witness of Him
Wherever or whoever in there remains a void of God (One True God) then that void will be replaced with something of less, of the world, of the darkness or of unrighteousness
We have talked about these sons of God who rebelled and in the beginning came down to corrupt mankind came.
SLIDE 3
1 When man began to multiply on the face of the land and daughters were born to them, 2 the sons of God saw that the daughters of man were attractive. And they took as their wives any they chose. 3 Then the Lord said, “My Spirit shall not abide in man forever, for he is flesh: his days shall be 120 years.”
SLIDE 4
4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.
5 Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
6 The Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart.
But wait we also know the verses right “the Lord found favor in Noah”!
We know the amazing storing of the Ark
But what happened after the flood was over, Noah builds an altar worships God and God tells Noah
SLIDE 5
1 And God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth.
2 “The fear of you and the terror of you will be on every beast of the earth and on every bird of the sky; with everything that creeps on the ground, and all the fish of the sea, into your hand they are given.
3 “Every moving thing that is alive shall be food for you; I give all to you, as I gave the green plant.
But now Noah has 3 sons - Shem Ham and Japheth
That son Ham was influenced by these same spirits as before the flood
He uncovered or defiled Noah’s nakedness while Noah was in his tent and
It would be through Hams line that came the Caananites, eventually Babylonians and infecting the line of Japheth and Shem
The Tower of Babel happens then the languages get confused by God and the nations get divided and scattered over the earth
Abraham was called out of the line of Shem and so was born Israel
From the Nation of Israel we get the gift of Jesus and thus opportunity of all the fallen nations of the world to be reconciled back to God
That is why there is only One Way
These fallen gods or demons did not give in after Jesus had died for us and was raised from the dead
There was a great spiritual war like no other and Jesus warned the disciples and apostles
But God being so masterful providing the gospel through His Son Jesus what sweep the world nation to nation thus driving these gods out to desolate places
Thus we have the years of the Spirit of God prevailing and especially in our nation as it was founded by God fearing people.
But we all fill a sense of a falling away from God
We know before events of Rev that Paul ays the apostasy must come first
We know Jesus talks of the falling away in Matt 24
If these gods were to attack a civilization that prominently served the One true God how would they do that and which of these gods would lead that attack
This god that would lead the way would be the same who caused the Israelites their great falling away from God over all the Old Testament years
this god is Baal
This would be the image that they built in the wilderness waiting for Moses to return down from the mountain (golden calf)
His image was a bull (bull or bull calf is the greek for calf)
Year to year Baal would cause the apostasy of Israel
And he has arrived to cause this in our nation today
This how it has happened and these are the words Jesus gave
SLIDE 6
24 “When the unclean spirit goes out of a man, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, and not finding any, it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’
25 “And when it comes, it finds it swept and put in order.
26 “Then it goes and takes along seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they go in and live there; and the last state of that man becomes worse than the first.”
SLIDE 7
33 When they came to the place called The Skull, there they crucified Him and the criminals, one on the right and the other on the left.
34 But Jesus was saying, “Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing.” And they cast lots, dividing up His garments among themselves.
The grammys this past weekend son “unholy” the devils, demons, fire
Romans chapter 1 tells us we are all born with this instinct of knowing there must be a God.
Romans 1 also says you can just look at all creation and see Him in it
But this is what happens when that void of God gets replaced with something else
We know of a great warning Jesus gave about getting cleaned by God but not filling ourselves with the things of God (mainly the Spirit of God and word of God
SLIDE 8
21 For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Professing to be wise, they became fools,
SLIDE 9
23 and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures.
24 Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them.
The Us has been the most powerful monetary nation - its crazy
What is one of the main names we give or call our God? God Almighty (ElShaddai)
What is the financial heart of our nations economy?
Wall Street
Long ago what image was set up at the NY Stock Exchange
SLIDE 10 “BULL BRONZE STATUE IMAGE SLIDE”
God has been taken out of so many institutions
Our schools - do you remember?
So how do we maintain this protective zone we desire or strive to stay in
SLIDE 11
13 “Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it.
SLIDE 12
31 Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all.
SLIDE 13
33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
34 “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
Mainly make sure you know Jesus not know of Him
That can also make the difference of being possessed or being oppressed
Faithfulness to bible teaching church (includes giving / share importance between God and mammon)
Reading or listen to God’s word at least 3 times a week
Have a church family ties with other bible believing families or friends
Church events and church conferences can be a catalyst in maintaining your walk with Christ
SLIDE 14
24 “No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other; you will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and be enslaved to money.
SLIDE 15
The Greek word for money - mammon (a spirit of lust of excessive greed, gluttony, materialism and dishonest wordly gain)
SLIDE 16
5 “He shall take from the congregation of the sons of Israel two male goats for a sin offering and one ram for a burnt offering.
6 “Then Aaron shall offer the bull for the sin offering which is for himself, that he may make atonement for himself and for his household.
7 “He shall take the two goats and present them before the Lord at the doorway of the tent of meeting.
8 “Aaron shall cast lots for the two goats, one lot for the Lord and the other lot for the scapegoat.
SLIDE 17
Scapegoat (azazel) - demon that taught humans metalworking and creation of weapons and adornments
