Ezekiel 20:  Part 2 Shining Light blog author writes today below

Jesus Christ condemned ancient Israel for worshipping at their own places instead of going up to God’s(more than one) tabernacle or temple.  He(The singular God) had commanded the people to come before Him(The singular God) at His(Singular)tabernacle or temple and they refused to obey God,(Both God’s or just one of them) instead offering their sacrifices at their own high places.   They did as they wanted while making a pretense of appearing to obey God(Singular but we don’t know which one the greater or the lessor) by offering his(singular) commanded sacrifices but in their own places and by their own ways.

Today’s spiritual Ecclesia does the very same thing today making a pretense of keeping God’s(plural more than one God) Sabbaths(plural more than the weekly) while polluting them.

This is pretending to obey God(singular so which one were the people to obey?) while doing what we want, making a show of obeying God(maybe this is the other God) while we do what we want.

The Israelites became so confused on which of their singular God’s they were worshipping  they just found it easier to worship the god’s everyone around them worshipped! They new the god of this world was singular, the former arch angel Lucifer but the God of Israel was plural and they just could never relate to them because of the confusion of who and what their two God’s were. wwpog blog

20:27 Therefore, son of man, speak unto the house of Israel, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD;(3068 the father always) Yet in this your fathers have blasphemed me,(singular) in that they have committed a trespass against me .Always singular pronouns is this complicated? No Us, or we! One God no one else besides Me. Is 44:6 Do not fear, nor be afraid; Have I not told you from that time, and declared it? You are My witnesses. Is there a God besides Me? Indeed there is no other Rock; I know not one.’” I don’t know of any either. I know that 1500 years later this one God had a son and he called him Jesus.

Lucifer  Is he a god? II Cor. 4:4  says he is the god of this world. Those who deny that Christ came in the flesh are anti-Christ I John 4:3 Jehovah our father, the only one who is truly God John 17:3 begot a son who he gave the world as a perfect sacrifice for the sin of man and paved the way for redemption to our God and father thru Jesus Christ the only name under heaven in which man can be saved.

1 John 4:9

The world is full of Christians 1/3 of all humans claim this  title of Christian. The other 2/3 of the  world, around 4 billion are Anti-Christ. John 3:18

The Christian overview

People claiming the Christian name a aproximently 2.2 billion

Catholics make up the largest group claiming 1.2 billion worldwide

Protestants make up the second largest group

Evangelicals

Messianic Jews

Church of God, Church of God 7th day, Seventh Day Adventist

The one thing all Christians believe is That Salvation comes thru Jesus Christ! Acts 4:12 “Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” Brethren this is the mantra we must preach to the world, to our neighbors, to the world religions that oppose our God and father. We must do this by internet, on the street corners, TV, radio. The gospel of our Christ and the Kingdom of God, our father, must be preached into all the world as a witness, so that men are without excuse when the great deception comes on all the world. The great falling away from Christianity, to Islam…

The Anti-Christ should be a type of opposite of Christ! It was taught that the Catholic Pope was going to somehow persuade the world that he was the Christ and set himself up on the temple mount as god and that all the world would marvel at his power. But is the Catholic church the opposite of Christ? Do they teach that Christ was not the son of God, but a prophet and a good man? No, they teach that Jesus was the son of God. Jesus said the greatest commandment was to love His father and to love ones neighbor! To the best of my knowledge all Christians believe this. Now I am not trying to get into Doctrinal differences and bible based behavior. What I am focusing on is what is opposite of good, evil. Now Yehovah our great God and father will use this opposite as a correction tool to those who don’t obey Him. Jesus taught us to love our enemies, Christianity teaches this and will help our enemies when they are in need. Do mainstream Christians want to destroy Israel and wipe them off the map? Do mainstream Christians want to kill people who don’t agree with them? Do extreme Christians run around beheading women and children for not adhering to there doctrine? Have you ever read about Christian suicide bombers blowing themselves up in the name of Jesus Christ? Or for that matter have you ever heard of the FBI breaking up a Christian plot to destroy those who don’t agree with them. Have you heard or seen any of these things from any other so called religion in the world? On Sept,20 2014 where is the Anti-Christ that is opposite everything the man Jesus taught and subscribed to. The answer is only one possible religion that opposes Jesus the Christ son of the one God and father of all, our God and Christ God Rev.3:12, the God of Abraham ,Isaac and Jacob the God of our fathers Acts.3:13 Islam brethren is the Anti-Christ the beast power that was and is to come Rev.17:11 verse 9 says “Here is the mind that has wisdom:”

How can the COGs grow in grace and knowledge? It interesting to note that only the Church of God 7th Day has its statement of beliefs open at the end of each proculmation! This is the Group that HWA came out of to start the Radio Church of God. HWA left to form his own group because he rediscovered the Holy Days. 1. The Feast of Trumpets,( Sept.25 2014) 2. The Day of Atonement, 3 The feast of Tabernacles, 4 The Eight Day, 5. The Passover,6 The Days of Unleavened Bread, 7. Pentecost. This was inspired by Almighty God our father in heaven. His generation passed away but many still keep Gods’ Holy days Holy and are heading toward the coming Kingdom of God. Our Father who art in Heaven has appoint his son and our savior to rule over the earth for a 1000 years to bring the long awaited truth and justice that has alleuded mankind for 6000 years. Since 1974 many WWCOGs from HWA fold have started several Hundred offshoots of COGs. Most of them have failed and the rest sputter along. Without great leadership as we see in Amercia today, the people suffer. The COGs are no different! Men seeking power and control over others, in exchange for truth and knowledge. The COGs in general are behind in knowledge because they are holding onto information that wasn’t understood 20 years ago, let alone in the 1970s, or 80s! But then in the mid 1990s Daniel’s prophecy really began to kick in. Dan.12:4 Knowledge is doubling at a speed of 3-6 months according to the internet. Interestingly the fear of change that came from the doctrinal changes of the WWCOG 1995 under the Joseph Tkach sealed the fate of most COGs going forward, right when we could grow in knowledge through access to the internet, we allowed fear of change to override what was at our finger tips! So we didn’t go backward and we haven’t gone forward were on the fence, neither hot or Cold! Satan is amazing, he got 75 percent to go back and 25 percent to stand still.

Meanwhile the two biggest paradigm shifts in biblical knowledge are about to unfold, the identity of the end time beast power, and Christianities self inflicted wound the Trinity! Which are directly at the front of what’s going on in the world and what the threat is and who it is coming from. The new super power that is being created out of a series of errors from the USA and Britton and some of its allies are coming about because of years of pulling away from any sign of obedience to God’s ways. Accient Israel’s fall and modern Israel’s fall come from the same source, exchanging the Godly for the ungodly. Every day the scenario grows stronger against us and more in favor of the enemy. Weak Christianity and weak COGs are at the core of the problem. Mainstream Christianity has turned its back on the bible, Evangelical Christianity has zeal but they practice lawlessness. The Kings and priest in the COGs have become complacent in that, there statement of beliefs are sealed and have leadership which doesn’t allow for to new understanding in light of new information and comparison, it clings to the past and prevents itself from seeing the paradigm changes taking place on the world stage! Brethren we are commanded to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling. This isn’t something a organization or family member can do for you, this is a lifetime commitment developing a personal relationship with our lord and savior Jesus Christ and with his God and father. The rising Islamic Beast power which beheads the saints of the father for their testimony of Who? “Jesus” Rev.20:4 and “I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God.” Brethren I grew up Catholic and the Catholics are not going to behead people for believing in Jesus Christ, but there is a Satanic religion that is doing it right now. ISIL is systematicly beheading women and children in Iraq, in the Kurdish area’s. In Somolia, Islamic extremist are beheading Christians daily. Brethren we must look at the facts in September 2014. Second, the understanding of the One God of Israel, is the key to understanding the strength of Islam and the weakness of Christianity! Without this knowledge one is at a great disadvantage and is defenseless in their arguments against this terrorist religion. Now below is shining light blog writer James Malm without this end time understanding and he is writing to unsuspecting COG members that Jesus was alive before his birth and was talking to Ezekiel.

Read this with what I wrote today in mind and see if the light goes on!

Ezekiel

James Malm

Why physical and spiritual Israel will go into great tribulation.

This is a very powerful warning and indictment of today’s church of God groups, who idolize men and have no zeal to keep the Word of God, preferring instead to follow the false traditions of men. (Like the false god worship of the Nicean, worshipping the created instead of the creator.)

8:1 And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I sat in mine house, and the elders of Judah sat before me, that the hand of the Lord GOD fell there upon me.

A description of Messiah in part of his glory.

8:2 Then I beheld, and lo a likeness as the appearance of fire: from the appearance of his loins even downward, fire; and from his loins even upward, as the appearance of brightness, as the colour of amber.

The idolatry of physical Israel is an allegory of the idolatry of the called of the spiritual Ekklesia today.  Everything that happened to physical Israel was meant for our instruction, and is an allegory of Spiritual Israel who are supposed to have God’s spirit and supposed to know better.

1 Cor 10:11  Now all these things happened unto them for examples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come. ¹² Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.

Christ shows Ezekiel the idolatry of the Ekklesia who have provoked him to Jealousy.  remember this is about the end time physical and spiritual Israel, and most particularly about the end time spiritual Israel of the Ekklesia

8:3 And he put forth the form of an hand, and took me by a lock of mine head; and the spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the inner gate that looketh toward the north; where was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provoketh to jealousy. 8:4 And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the vision that I saw in the plain.

Christ directs Ezekiel to see his glory in the north, and at the gate of the altar sits the image of jealousy.  That is to say that instead of exalting, worshipping and obeying the Eternal the people exalt, follow and obey their own idols in the name of the LORD!

This is exactly what is done in the church of God groups today; as they claim to worship and obey God, while exalting their idols of men, corporate entities and the traditions of men above the Word of God, to keep the false traditions of men, and condemn any zeal to keep the whole Word of God!

These men and corporations are a modern “Image of Jealousy” as they have become the objects of the Ekklesia’s affections.  The Ekklesia have exalted their love for their own ways, above any love or zeal for the Word of their espoused Husband!

8:5 Then said he unto me, Son of man, lift up thine eyes now the way toward the north. So I lifted up mine eyes the way toward the north, and behold northward at the gate of the altar this image of jealousy in the entry. 

Brethren, the COG Groups today have set up an “Image of Jealousy” to Christ, because Christ must compete with the idols of men, corporate entities and false tradition for the affections of the brethren

Shining light Blog is so lost in translation that It almost sounds plausible! Mr Malm writes “the words of YHVH himself. Lets look at this sentence, first (words) is plural and not capitalized second YHVH is followed by a singular pronoun. So if YHVH is Jesus who is the words? The father and the holy spirit? Then he writes “the words of God are as sweet as honey!” Now Mr Malm uses words not as a second member of the God head but the actual speaking of God which he claims is actually the second God Jesus Christ. Mr Malm then goes on to say that  “Jesus Christ strengthened Ezekiel” This is either deception out right, or a complete miss understanding of Who is God! Brethren this is why English is not the language of the bible, it is a translation and  for the difficult scriptures its plain bad news. Most all Christians start out in the new testament, they read the Trinitarian  translation, which  alters two words 1. they capitalize word and then they change It, to “He” a personal pronoun. Look higher 200 has 200 bibles online read William Tyndale 1534 bible We need to understand some Greek back round and some understanding of the Hebrew language. Salvation comes thru the Jews then the gentiles. One must establish the creed of “Israel Hear O Israel the Lord God is one” not 2 or a compound or 3. Once one understands it is the father alone who is Eternal I Tim 6:15 and has immortality, then one can understand that it was the father speaking and appearing to the forefathers. Once one grasp this foundational understanding he is ready to take on Islam and understand what Satan has succeeded in corrupting in Christianity he has confused you into thinking there is more than 1 God. Why when the bible says that Satan is the god(Elohim) of this age. 2 Cor.4:4  we all think it is singular? How then does our mind take the latter part of this verse ” Christ, who is in the image of (Who) God.  We take this second Elohim in the same verse and make it plural, even though Christ is mentioned as a separate being and not as God?

Ezekiel 3

As John was made to eat the scroll as a type of internalizing the words so was Ezekiel; so that John and Ezekiel could later speak and write out the words of YHVH himself.

3:1 Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, eat that thou findest; eat roll, and go speak unto the house of Israel. 3:2 So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat that roll.

The words of God are as sweet as honey in the reading because of the ultimate joy of their completion, yet they are very bitter in the belly because of the bitterness that must come in the process of delivering humanity.

3:3 And he said unto me, Son of man, cause thy belly to eat, and fill thy bowels with this roll that I give thee. Then did I eat it; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.

The prophecies of God are to the House of physical and spiritual Israel.

3:4 And he said unto me, Son of man, go, get thee unto the house of Israel, and speak with my words unto them. 3:5 For thou art not sent to a people of a strange speech and of an hard language, but to the house of Israel; 3:6 Not to many people of a strange speech and of an hard language, whose words thou canst not understand. Surely, had I sent thee to them, they would have hearkened unto thee.

Jesus Christ already knew that in the end time physical and spiritual Israel would not listen to his warnings, for we are a self exalting, proud, stubborn and hard hearted people; who will not be entreated.

3:7 But the house of Israel will not hearken unto thee; for they will not hearken unto me: for all the house of Israel are impudent and hardhearted.

As Jesus Christ strengthened Ezekiel to stand up to the great and the strong in his day; even so Jesus Christ strengthens those who proclaim His word and warn the called out in this end time. 

The shinning Light blog today still doesn’t understand the identity of the Lord God Eternal. Now if your an English speaking person you must look up the word LORD and lord and see the different Hebrew words for each spelling. Ps. 110:1 Teaches us the difference between the One God and father known as the LORD(Adonia always referring to the father) and the lord (Adoni referring to lords masters people of authority heads of state and leaders. Mr. Malm can’t understand this because he refuses to be corrected, as he points to the COGs daily saying they refuse to be corrected. This above is 101 language that’s so simple even a cave man could understand it if he didn’t have an agenda… Brethren its ok to be wrong, its ok to grow in grace and knowledge it’s ok to see things clearer, but you have to be looking seeking it like a pearl of great price its not easy to understand 18 centuries of Trinitarians messing with scripture. Is the Holy Spirit a He or a She or a It? Is a word a he or a she or a it?  

     Did John not see the Eternal face to face in his vision in Rev. 5:1 John saw in the right hand of him,(The father) So John saw the father his God and the lambs God the only one who is truly God. John 17:3

Shining light blog in italics

Ezk1:26 And above the firmament that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone: and upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness as the appearance of a man above upon it.

The being sitting on the Sapphire Throne was YHVH the Eternal God.  Here the word YHVH represents the one who became the son, for no man had seen the Father! 

Joh 5:37   And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.

YHVH himself, in this case the Creator who became the Son, gave the prophecies of the end time to Ezekiel.  He appeared as a brilliant light surrounded by a rainbow, the bow of God.

Ezekiel 1:27 And I saw as the colour of amber, as the appearance of fire round about within it, from the appearance of his loins even upward, and from the appearance of his loins even downward, I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and it had brightness round about.

1:28 As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD [YHVH]. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake.

    YHVH is not disputed by Hebrew scholars as to who it represents. The father is YHVH he is the God of our fathers read Peters announcement in Acts 2:29-33  The Apostles new Jesus was not God but the promised messiah from God. God then testified to David that from his loins would come the messiah. It shows two things one that David was dealing with Yehovah and new him and that God would do the raising the man Jesus from the dead. Peter goes on to say that the God of our fathers raised up the man Jesus. Brethren those who teach Jesus was the God of the old testament are not reading the scriptures that tell us Explicitly that it was the father alone who did these things. Is. 44: Read

Italic taken from Shinning light blog, then my comment below he keeps from his readers.

Herbert Armstrong was fixated on the greatness of America and nuclear attack as the only way to bring her down.  In fact a few nuclear strikes may happen on key sites, but the fall of America will be a process that takes 3 1/2 years; and will be about economic collapse bringing hunger and a weakened population subject to disease; accompanied by natural disasters.  Can you imagine a starving sickly weakened people coping with a massive hurricane season or huge earthquakes?  This along with extreme widespread drought will bring her down.

Militarily it is NOT necessary to occupy a nation to defeat it.  Judea will be occupied, but America will not be occupied except perhaps for a few key sites.  An initial defeat probably brought on via cyber attack, and then a slow fall into chaos and total collapse over 3 1/2 years are in the offing.

I will get into the trtibulation situation much deeper with the coming Ezekiel study.

It seems that the burden off proof is on the Christian to live the Godly lifestyle while living in the ungodly society. How difficult it is to be a light all the time. We all face daily trials, frustration, traffic, jobs and annoying people. The day to day demands on us just to make ends meet can be taxing to say the least. Even when one has money like Robin Williams it still wasn’t enough to make him happy! So we can’t blame lack of physical things or money on whether we would be better Christians or happier home makers or not. It’s always a choice to have one more drink, to get high, to act rude, to not care, to be selfish, these are all choices, but the fruit of the spirit is to be long suffering, patient and kind loving! Its a burden to carry this mantra day in and day out, yet the burden off proof is on You and Me daily. We all get off track but the Christian gets back on track every time he crashes, or your road back to where we should be becomes harder and harder. Being teachable as children means growing and when your growing your engaged in the process and the spirit can bring you new truth. We must grow by studying with the tools available to us now and read back into the original languages of the bible to glean new understanding of the Hebrew book called the bible. Look online and find Hebrew translations and Greek new testament versions and see the bible anew. The burden of proof is on us to learn the original intention of scripture, not just the much later English versions. I think you will find it much more colorful and rewarding, its only a click away…
