Today is Day #20 in Counting the Omer. In scripture, Jacob had to wait
20 years to be set free from the control of Laban to obtain the bride of his choice (Genesis 31:38-41). Israel was oppressed by Jabin, king of Canaan, for
20 years until God raised up Deborah and Barak (Judges 4-5). The number 20 signifies reaching the point of redemption after bondage.
Perhaps you've seen the cutesy little video making the rounds on social media. An adorable young boy brings Twinkies to a homeless woman and they share some fellowship together. At the end of the video, they both conclude that they have "seen God."
In the Hindu religion, the acolytes make the Namaste sign when they greet each other. It is two palms pressed together and pointing upward, along with a slight nod and bow towards the other person. You've probably seen this gesture dozens of times on Awards Shows and emojis. On the surface, it seems like a harmless acknowledgement to another person. However, what does it really mean in the spiritual world? It literally means: "I bow to the god in you." Think about that. This one little gesture incorporates idol worship, Narcissism, Luciferian pride and manages to break multiple commandments in one shot!
The scripture commands us to be wise as serpents and gentle as doves. We are to be aware of the devil's schemes. When we see a repeated theme over and over again in the secular world (and, sadly, in the church world also), we need to test the spirit behind it.
Up above, we quoted Jeremiah 31:22. It is a very esoteric scripture and many people are often perplexed by it. As some would say: "It's a riddle wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma." The scripture becomes much clearer to us when we understand the role that we are to perform in God's Epic Drama. We, the Church, are the female, the woman in this drama. Throughout the entire bible, Israel and the Church are described as a woman. Nowhere in the Bible is The Woman described as GOD. We are the weakness. He is the strength. We are the void. His Holy Spirit fills our void.
I realize this concept is more difficult for men to understand than it is for women. However, once you fully grasp the imagery that God has already laid out for us, as He woos and wins us over, we will no longer fall victim to false teaching.
A woman encompassing a man is a highly intimate shadow picture. While in every marriage, the Two shall become One (in ecstatic union)...the Two don't become EACH OTHER!
That is spiritual transgenderism and spiritual perversion!
Yet, this is the very message that false teachers are beginning to preach. Taking cues from the devil in the Garden, this teaching is "almost correct"..."close, but no cigar." False teachers will say: "But didn't God say...?" The prevailing false teaching is that we are CHRIST INCARNATE. We are the Second Coming.
Obama once said: "We are the ones we are waiting for." It made such a horrific impact on me, I cut it out and posted in on my desk as a reminder of
what NOT to ever think of myself. It makes perfect, creepy sense in the spiritual world.
Thus, we see the rise in so-called "Marian apparitions" gaining popularity on the earth. This is a manifestation of the increased interest in goddess worship and another demonic attempt to deflect attention from the only Name under Heaven and Earth by which mankind may be saved...YESHUA. The REAL Mary would have none of this idol worship. All six statements made by Mary in scripture point to the magnification of GOD and submission to Christ. If you really admire Mary of the Bible, you will listen to her scriptural admonition to "DO WHAT HE SAYS" instead of doing what these false apparitions say. Remember, Satan does not return with a pitchfork and horns but as an "angel of light."
And no wonder, since Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.
~ 2 Corinthians 11:14
DO NOT BE DECEIVED as Satan gets more and more desperate in his magic tricks.
The second beast was permitted to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship it to be killed. ~ Revelation 13:15
The real Truth is this: The Church (The Elect Lady/The Bride/The Virgin) is the helpmate of Christ, not Christ Himself. That is the spiritual meaning of Jeremiah 31:22 when it states a Woman (The Church) shall "encompass" (the Hebrew word means "walk around" or "encircle") a Man. Thus, the Church's mission is to encircle Christ just as the Moon (Church) orbits the Sun (Son). God gave us the majesty and wonder of the circulatory systems in the Heavens to help us understand His Majesty and Wonder. We are to look at the Moon circling the Son and do likewise if we want to remain on the proper pathway!
Now...let's see how this lines up with scripture.
They also said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in just the SAME WAY as you have watched Him go into heaven." ~ Acts 1:11
For the Lord HIMSELF shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first ~ 1 Thessalonians 4:16 (KJV emphasis added)
So, we look for Jesus to return in His Father's Glory but, in the meanwhile, the Glory of the MAN (Son of Man) is the Woman. We, the Church, must glorify Christ. We must not attempt to steal His Glory. Like the Moon, we must radiate it. He is the Light of the World, we reflect that Light. Let us not forget what part we play in this Epic Drama.
And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. ~ Rev 12:17 (NKJV)
And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and HE that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness HE doth judge and make war. ~ Rev 19:11 (emphasis added)
WE GIVE ALL GLORY AND HONOR AND PRAISE...
