Shalom brethren!
This week’s message continued the study series on the “Seven Assemblies in Asia Minor” as we explored the message to the assembly at Thyatira.
This group was commended for their love, service, faith and patience. All attributes which we must be aspiring to in our walk with Messiah as the days of darkness approach.
They were however criticized by Y’HoWShUA for their compromising, by allowing Jezebel to promote fornication and seduce the believers. It is extremely unlikely that any credible Christian ministry would teach that physical fornication and adultery are acceptable. So obviously, speaking in the spiritual context, this is talking about adopting pagan practices and assimilating with the false religions of the world.
You can watch the full message here.
It is interesting that in last two weeks we have had witness of 3 significant prophetic events relating to this very subject. The first the Muslim prayer meeting in the National Cathedral on 14 Nov. One of the speakers quoted Quran 5:82, “and you will find the nearest of them in affection to the believers those who say, “We are Christians.” That is because among them are priests and monks and because they are not arrogant.” as a symbol of supposed the common theology shared between Christians and Muslims. What this speaker omitted was the first half of the verse, “You will surely find the most intense of the people in animosity toward the believers [to be] the Jews and those who associate others with Allah ; ” So this event of alleged ecumenical relationship building was nothing more than veiled anti-Semitism.
The speaker also invoked Quran 3:26, “Say, “O Allah , Owner of Sovereignty, You give sovereignty to whom You will and You take sovereignty away from whom You will. You honor whom You will and You humble whom You will. In Your hand is [all] good. Indeed, You are over all things competent.” This verse is used as basic justification for Islamic conquest of “Dar al-Harb” the region of war – any land when Islam does not dominate.
On 13 Nov an Imam was invited into Congress to give the opening prayer. He invoked Allah to guide the representatives to pursue compassion, justice and sound judgement. At the same time the followers of Islam are being invoked to “Smite the necks of the unbelievers” which we witness in graphic detail every time ISIS released another video of the beheading of an American, British or European aid worker or journalist.
The final event was the Humanum conference hosted by the Pope in the Vatican 17-19 Nov. This meeting included Catholics, Anglicans, Mormons, Baptists, Mennonites, Jews, Muslims, Sikhs, Taoists , Buddhists and even Pagans. Southern Baptist, Rick Warren, gave a presentation and stated “We all love Jesus Christ”. As far as I’m aware Sikhs, Taoists, Buddhists and Pagans don’t. Nor do orthodox Jews. And Muslims only accept him as a prophet, not the Son of YHWH.
Brethren, YHWH will not be mocked. This ecumenical hypocrisy and deception is prophesied as the revealing of the Whore of Babylon and sets the backdrop for next week’s message, Sardis – the dead church.
