TWIN TIMELINES: TAKE TWO
Part XXXIV

The last
couple of installments of the Twin Timelines: Take Two series
have examined how the Spiritual Dimension – that which we call the
“Sea” of the Spirit – influences the “Sand” of
the earthly realm. We have shown the Scriptures indicating the fallen
angels’ Spiritual influence is on the earth, working contrary to the
Spirit of the LORD, which is also present in the allegorical
“Sand.”
Perhaps the
classic example of this understanding is found in the book of Revelation.
“And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and I saw a
beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns,
and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy” (Revelation
13:1).
Although we
obviously do not see a literal rendition of this “beast,” we do see
earthly history that is related to the imagery seen in this mystical verse.
Christian
Media has found
multiple sequences of seven kingdoms – metaphorically
represented by the “seven heads” -- as well as earthly
manifestations of ten entities (later identified in Revelation as
ten kings) banding together to exert influence. Since “blasphemy”
is mentioned, it is self-evident this imagery does not represent anything
related to the Spirit of God.
The Substance
of the Spiritual influence may be determined by the attributes of the earthly
vessel.
“Every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not
gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes” (Luke 6:44).
As mankind
is physical and Spiritual, deciphering the agenda of the Spirits through
the agency of the earthly is frequently very difficult, as the Flesh and Blood
is periodically mingled with the Spirit.
“Believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of
God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world” (I John
4:1).
Conversely,
when individuals (or institutions) do not have the Spiritual dimension bestowed
on them by being born again through the resurrection of Jesus
Christ (the first resurrection), it is relatively easy to perceive their
true nature.
“The natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for
they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are
spiritually discerned” (I Corinthians 2:14).
Thus the
two-fold Divided Mind of the Devil is manifested in the
“Death” that inhabits those who have not been born again,
and “Hell” is found in those who are giving out mixed signals,
because of their unstable Spiritual affinity.
“A double minded man is unstable in all his
ways” (James 1:8).
The most
difficult task in the discerning of Spirits is when the things of God are mingled
with the things of the world – a situation which is commonly found in the
third age that is Apathetic and Lukewarm. In
this regard, we have repeatedly addressed the three timelines of BC,
AD, and the mixed, present day Age of Antichrist.
Ironically,
because there is a third timeline that is characterized by the melding of
Spirits does not mean the phenomenon of Spiritual mingling is exclusive to the
third timeline. Two examples from the Old Testament BC era illustrate
this fact.
Regarding
the time of Israel’s king Ahab, we’ve previously told the
story of how Ahab desired to possess the vineyard of Naboth, who would
not sell it to him. Naboth refused offers from Ahab because he adhered to the
Old Covenant laws of Moses which addressed his inheritance, which was the
vineyard.
As the story
progresses, Queen Jezebel arranges the Death of Naboth so Ahab can
acquire the inheritance. For the moment, we’ll set aside the fact this
cycle Sequentially Anticipates the Jewish plot to maneuver the Romans
into executing Jesus, so Satan, who they were Spiritually
hosting, could continue to control events in the “Sand” (the
“vineyard” where Satan rules).
Jezebel’s
plot involved arranging a fast in Naboth’s home of Jezreel.
A fast is a
religious ritual found among the Lord’s people, so it’s evident she
was familiar with the Old Covenant. In any event, Jezebel then arranged
to have Naboth unjustly accused of blasphemy after giving him a
seat of honour at the fast.
She
instructed the elders of Jezreel to seat Naboth with two men
who would surprise him with their accusation before the church.
“They set two men, sons of Belial [Baal], before him, to
bear witness against him, saying, Thou didst blaspheme God and the king” (Kings
21:10).
According to
the conspiracy, the assembly then took Naboth out of the city and stoned him
– and after Naboth’s death, her scheme resulted in Ahab’s
acquisition of the vineyard.
Jezebel
exhibited some of the traits of God with a Biblically valid concept of a fast,
and the lawful requirement that if a lethal sin was committed, it was mandated
that it took two witnesses to accuse him. The penalty for blasphemy was
death by stoning, so everything seemed in order.
“At the mouth of two witnesses….shall he that
is worthy of death be put to death” (Deuteronomy 17:6).
However, it
is clear that these two “sons of belial” (Baal) were welcome in the
church, so the Scripture was not studiously followed. Because Naboth
sought to follow the laws of Moses, it is clear that the assembly was mingled
between “Hot” and “Cold,” and could be colloquially
termed “Lukewarm.”
“And [Israel] left all the commandments of the Lord their
God, and made them molten images, even two calves, and made a grove, and
worshipped all the host of heaven, and served Baal” (II Kings
27:16).
This episode
provides us with insight as to why the LORD mentions Jezebel so
many centuries after she was dead and buried.
“Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou
sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess,
to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things
sacrificed unto idols” (Revelation 2:20).
In this Old
Testament account, the only party that is clearly in good standing with the
LORD is Naboth – who mirrors Jesus, the
innocent party who was sacrificed. Jezebel is obviously an enemy of God, as is
Ahab, whose Flesh and Blood desires triggered the entire episode. The
“two sons of Baal” are obviously judged, and so is the entire
assembly in Jezreel (including the elders) who sustained the mingled
assembly.
When you
view the unchecked progression of the evil even later on, we find the iniquity
that was present even destroyed the sons of Ahab.
“And Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria” (II Kings 10:1).
After Ahab
and Jezebel went on to their final recompense, a new king bent on reform, came
to power who decreed that the rulers of Jezreel execute the sons of Ahab.
“And it came to pass...that they took the king’s sons, and
slew seventy persons, and put their heads in baskets” (II Kings 10:7).
In our
second example, we find a less extreme outcome. Centuries later after the
Israelite temple had been destroyed because of Samaria’s sin, the LORD
dispatched Nehemiah to rebuild the temple. After much resistance, he
succeeded; and when they were just about to dedicate the new temple, Ezra
the priest discovered the elders of Israel had broken the laws of Moses and
taken Gentile wives.
“They have taken of their daughters for themselves, and for their
sons: so that the holy seed have mingled themselves with the
people of those lands: yea, the hand of the princes and rulers hath been chief
in this trespass” (Ezra 9:2).
In an act of
radical repentance, the Israelites actually broke up the marriages, and vowed
that they would obey the laws of God.
“Then arose Ezra, and made the chief priests, the Levites, and all
Israel, to swear that they should do according to this word…and they
offered a ram of the flock for their trespass” (Ezra 10:5,19).
While this
wholesale divorce seems very insensitive to the modern mind, the Israelites
remembered the disastrous course they were on with the evil that reached its
apex via Ahab and Jezebel.
These two
cautionary tales serve to accentuate the wonderful grace of God that fulfilled
the laws of Moses in the New Covenant, wherein the LORD placed His Spirit in
our hearts, and the knowledge of His righteousness in our minds.
There are two
outcomes from the earthly circumstance – one which ends in Death
– and the other which ends in what was undoubtedly a sad torment”
-- Hell. Both required a sacrifice for the infraction.
I might add
that the judgment that fell on Jezreel demonstrates that when the
institutions manifest the Spiritual evil that drives it, the individual has a
responsibility to part company with it, in order to stand pure before the Lord.
A good
example is found in the AD era Roman Catholic Church, which formally
renounced the exclusive faith in Jesus Christ as the requirement
for salvation. This mingling of the historic faith with other
religious traditions, occurred under the egregious apostasy of the Vatican
II “readjustment” of the church doctrine.
This turmoil
is now occurring in the Methodist church as well as the Episcopal,
Presbyterian, and Evangelical Lutheran denominations (and others), as the
leadership of the churches, influenced by the Spirit of the “False
Prophet,” are embracing the LGBTQ incursion. As the incorporated churches
are ALL creations of the Beast government, “the gates of hell
shall…[eventually] prevail against [them]” (Matthew
16:18).
This
fracturing of virtually every denominational structure illustrates the need for
an individual repentance before God, as each and every one of us desperately need
to learn the truth about the times in which we live from the Scriptures, and
the corporations that were created by the Beast (and administered
by the Lukewarm/Mingled Spirit which is so Spiritually corrosive. We are
destined to commit to one side or the other of the Spiritual war, or fall.
“Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the
tree corrupt and his fruit corrupt
Essentially
the split Spiritual pattern of Death and Hell is the
earthly evidence of the divided “house” of the Devil.
“If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom
stand?” (Luke 11:18).
The two
spirits are allegorically addressed as “Antichrist” – which
is Death – and “False Prophet,” which exhibits the
attributes of Hell.
They stand
in sharp distinction to the Spirit of Life in God through JESUS CHRIST, until the last day when they will
both be judged.
“And I saw a great white throne…and death and hell delivered
up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to
their works. And death and hell were cast in the lake of fire.
This is the second death. Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first
resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests
of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years” (Revelation
20:11,14,6).
