Hi Mike,

The recent question on Child Molestation in FAQ’s is one that I have also battled with a lot. However, I just wanted to share with this lady (to whom my heart goes out) the following thought regarding the molestation of her sister by their dad: Since God uses the physical to illustrate spiritual truth, our absolute horror and disgust at what adults do to those unable to protect themselves and placed under their care can give us insight into what God feels when a “babe in Christ” is seduced into spiritual fornication by the very ones that are supposed to help them grow and “keep” them to be a “chaste virgin” until such time as they are ready and mature for intimacy with their true Husband.
We can then better understand the abomination that Babylon is to God.
I know this won’t necessarily console this lady’s heart, but I do know that God will heal her in His time from this which causes her to doubt His goodness.

Your sister in Christ,

Hi U____,

What a wonderful lesson the Lord has given you to share with us all! I simply never saw that before, but you are exactly right. Babylon seduces and tricks us away from our true love, and like Jacob, we wake up one day to realize that we have worked so hard for so long, and all we have is Leah, the unwanted wife, who will naturally have all her children before the beloved wife has her first child.

Gen 30:19 And Leah conceived again, and bare Jacob the sixth son.
Gen 30:20 And Leah said, God hath endued me with a good dowry; now will my husband dwell with me, because I have born him six sons: and she called his name Zebulun.
Gen 30:21 And afterwards she bare a daughter, and called her name Dinah.
Gen 30:22 And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and opened her womb.
Gen 30:23 And she conceived, and bare a son; and said, God hath taken away my reproach:
Gen 30:24 And she called his name Joseph; and said, The LORD shall add to me another son.
Gen 46:15 These be the sons of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob in Padanaram, with his daughter Dinah: all the souls of his sons and his daughters were thirty and three.
Gen 46:19 The sons of Rachel Jacob’s wife; Joseph, and Benjamin.

The deceit of Laban is the same as the seduction of Babylon, and just as Jacob had to come out from Haran and his uncle Laban’s house, so must we come out of Babylon, the great harlot who has seduced and deceived us for so long.
Joseph was not born until after all of Leah’s children. We do not bring forth God’s elect within ourselves until after we have brought forth all the children of our first wife, in Babylon. Then, only after we have begotten those who will later turn on us, Joseph, the type of Christ, is begotten, and Jacob determined to leave Laban who was in the land of Babylon.
Christ spoke of the molestation and abuse of trust by the Babylon of His day in these words:

Mat 23:15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell [ Greek, gehenna] than yourselves.

Child molestation is an abuse of trust. Laban abused Jacob’s trust, Joseph’s brothers abused his trust, and Judas abused Christ’s trust. We have all abused our Lord’s trust, while we were in Babylon, and Babylon abuses our trust while we are under her spell.
There are a thousand different ways of betraying our Lord. Whether it is being an unfaithful wife, betraying and denying our own Lord, or betraying the trust of our own innocent children. In the end we are doing it all unto our Lord Himself.

Mat 25:44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
Mat 25:45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
Your brother in Christ,
Mike>
