Rev 18:9 And\u00a0the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, These verses of today\u2019s study symbolically list all the things and doctrines of the churches of this world which appeal to our rebellious carnal minds during that part of our life when we subscribe to, believe in, and live by this great harlot\u2019s many lies and false doctrines. \u201cThe fruits that your soul desires are departed from you and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from you, and you will find them no more at all\u201d is a statement which signifies and reveals the change that takes place in our lives when we are dragged to the point of having to acknowledge that everything we once believed is a lie. That is a monumental loss in the life of our old man. Everything we once valued has now been burned up and destroyed by the brightness of the Truth which the Lord has given our new eyes to see and\u00a0 understand, and the new perception of our new ears. We suddenly see that everything we have ever believed was a lie, and now everything we are coming to see so very clearly is new and very different from what our Babylonian eyes thought they had seen and what our Babylonian ears thought they had heard. In a relatively short time, we come to see that the Lord has taken away from the churches of this world \u201cthe whole stay of [spiritual] bread and the whole stay of [spiritual] water\u201d, and now we see everything in an exciting and refreshing new light, the light of The Truth:<\/p>\n Isa 3:1\u00a0 For, behold,\u00a0the Lord, the LORD of hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah the stay and the staff,\u00a0the whole<\/u>\u00a0stay of bread, and\u00a0the whole<\/u>\u00a0stay of water,<\/strong><\/p>\n If the Lord has not yet given us to believe that verse of scripture, then that is because we have not yet been given the repentance which the holy spirit requires of the seven churches which are signified by these \u201cseven women\u201d:<\/p>\n Isa 4:1\u00a0 And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread [signifying our own Babylonian doctrines], and wear our own apparel [signifying our own way of life]: only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach.<\/p>\n The \u201cone man\u201d dominated by these \u201cseven women\u201d is our old man, the beast on which the \u201cgreat harlot\u201d is seated. The \u201cseven women\u201d of Isaiah 4:1 signify the seven apostate churches of Asia who signify this great spiritually unfaithful harlot.<\/p>\n \u201cAll things are new\u201d when we come to know the true Christ and we are given to obey His doctrines.<\/p>\n 2Co 5:16 Wherefore henceforth\u00a0know we no man after the flesh:<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0yea,\u00a0though we have known Christ<\/u>\u00a0after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.<\/strong> \u201cThe kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her\u201d<\/strong> typify those false doctrines which are most immediately affected by the destruction which the Truth of Christ\u2019s doctrines inflict upon the blasphemous doctrines of this great spiritual harlot. The false doctrine of an immortal soul, with the false doctrine of an eternal hell where that \u2018immortal soul\u2019 will be forever tormented with no hope of ever being delivered, are but a couple of examples of these \u2018kings of the earth\u2019 who bear rule over this \u2018beast\u2019 which all men are:<\/p>\n Ecc 3:18\u00a0 I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that\u00a0they themselves\u00a0are beasts<\/u><\/strong>.<\/p>\n These \u201ckings of the earth\u201d signify the spiritual principles and false doctrines which bear rule over our thoughts. These are the \u2018kings of the earth\u2019 within us who are losing everything their soul has always desired. All the approbation by society for all our good works is taken away because we insist on being obedient to Christ. All the celebrations of the flesh are now gone, and we are now regarded by our families and friends who are still in the churches we once attended as being apostates who are worse than a pagan. Our families and friends and associates who still attend the churches of Babylon and still believe all the lies this great harlot teaches are signified by these \u201ckings of the earth\u201d who celebrate the things of the earth, just as we ourselves did only yesterday. Our families and friends, now signify our own old man who has the most to lose because we were once invested in the doctrines and customs of this harlot system. These \u201cKings of the earth\u201d are all the false doctrines which are signified by these \u2018seven heads\u2019 of our beast which are called \u201cseven mountains which are seven kings\u201d in chapter 17:<\/p>\n Rev 17:7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee\u00a0the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her,<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0which hath the seven heads and ten horns. \u201cThe mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her\u201d and \u201cthe seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits and there are seven kings\u201d all tell us that this woman and this beast with seven heads which \u201care seven kings\u201d are inseparable. The beasts we are is always associated with this harlot. Truly \u201cthe dream is one\u201d and all of these symbols are also one apostate beast which signifies our own apostasy and the hold which society and the churches of Babylon have on us at this part of our \u201cexperience of evil\u201d which is this life we all must live in this world. It is all by the Lord\u2019s \u201cown will\u201d and by His own design:<\/p>\n Gen 41:25\u00a0 And Joseph said unto Pharaoh,\u00a0The dream<\/strong>\u00a0of Pharaoh\u00a0is one<\/strong>: God hath shewed\u00a0Pharaoh what he is about to do<\/strong>. Pro 16:4\u00a0 The LORD hath made all things for himself:\u00a0yea, even the wicked\u00a0<\/strong>for the\u00a0day of evil.<\/strong> This life is \u201cthe day of evil\u201d, and we are each \u201cshapen in iniqutity, and conceived in sin\u201d for the express purpose of enduring our own \u201cday of evil\u201d and repenting of our evil ways:<\/p>\n Psa 51:5\u00a0 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.<\/p>\n Ecc 1:13 I applied my heart to inquiring and exploring by wisdom concerning all that is done under the heavens:\u00a0it is\u00a0an experience of evil<\/u>\u00a0Elohim has given to the sons of humanity to humble them by it.<\/strong><\/p>\n All these verses are just a part of \u201cthe brightness of His coming\u201d (2Th 2:8), which destroys our \u201cman of sin\u2026 the wicked\u2026 made\u2026 for the day of evil\u201d, which \u2018wicked for the day of evil\u2019 signifies this beast with seven horns being ridden by and dominated by this great harlot. \u2018The dream is one, and the Lord is showing us what He is about to do in our lives.<\/p>\n The loss of \u201cthe fruits your soul desires\u201d is the great loss felt by these seven kings which are within this beast, when this great harlot is finally unveiled to us for what she really is. The loss of \u201cthe fruits your soul desires\u201d is signified by a \u201cgreat earthquake\u201d. \u201cThe fruits your soul desires\u201d signify all the lies and false doctrines which are an integral part of this harlot system. Through the experience of coming to \u201cknow the Truth” she is being destroyed within us, along with all she has to offer this beast which we are by nature. This spiritual beast which is dominated by a spiritual harlot mourns the loss of everything we have ever worked for, and at the same time our new man rejoices at what our old man is losing. No natural human being enjoys being \u201chated of all men\u201d:<\/em><\/p>\n Mat 10:22\u00a0 And ye\u00a0shall be<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that\u00a0endureth<\/u>\u00a0to the end<\/strong>\u00a0shall be saved.<\/p>\n The trials we are told to expect are signified by \u2018fire\u2019 which signifies the pain of our suffering as we come to discover that everything we have ever believed is a lie:<\/p>\n 1Pe 4:12\u00a0 Beloved, think it not strange concerning\u00a0the fiery trial\u00a0which is to try you<\/u><\/strong>, as though some strange thing happened unto you: This \u2018hatred by all men\u2019 includes our own families which makes the heat of our \u201cfiery trials\u201d even more \u2018fiery\u2019:<\/p>\n Mat 10:34\u00a0 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I\u00a0came\u00a0not<\/u>\u00a0to send peace<\/strong>, but a sword. The past four years here in the U.S. I have been expecting this website to be taken down. The laws being passed had already made the proclaiming of the Truth a federal crime, and I fully expected that it was just a matter of time before I would be prosecuted and imprisoned for simply telling the Truth that a man is not a woman and a woman is not a man.\u00a0 That is the extent to which this nation has forsaken the Truth of Christ Who IS<\/u> the Truth:<\/p>\n Joh 14:6\u00a0 Jesus saith unto him, I\u00a0am<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0the way,\u00a0the truth<\/strong>, and the life:\u00a0no man cometh unto the Father,\u00a0but by me<\/u>.<\/strong><\/p>\n Jesus did not \u2018say unto him, I know the truth.\u2019 What Christ said was, \u201cI AM<\/u> the Truth\u201d, and He even went on to say, \u201cNo man comes to the Father, but by Me.\u201d Wow! What a claim! Yet Christ\u2019s entire life proved that He really was \u201cthe Son of God\u201d and the Savior of this world who fulfilled every Old Testament prophecy concerning a coming Messiah who would \u2018bear the sins of Israel\u2019:<\/p>\n Isa 53:2\u00a0 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground:\u00a0he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.<\/strong> Joh 3:17\u00a0 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that\u00a0the world through him might be saved<\/strong>.<\/p>\n What does all of this experience of Christ have to do with us. It has everything to do with us because:<\/p>\n 1Jn 4:17\u00a0 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because\u00a0as he is, so are we in this world.<\/strong><\/p>\n This verse therefore applies to us:<\/p>\n Isa 53:3\u00a0\u00a0He is despised and rejected of men<\/u>\u00a0[until this very day]; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.<\/strong><\/p>\n With Christ we, too, will be \u2018despised and rejected of men\u2019. With Christ we will \u2018not be esteemed\u2026 of men\u2026 because as He is so are we in this world.\u201d That includes the statement that \u201cthe world through Him [through us as Him] might be saved\u201d.<\/p>\n Christ taught:<\/p>\n Joh 14:6\u00a0 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life:\u00a0no man cometh unto the Father,\u00a0but by me<\/u>.<\/strong><\/p>\n Yet this great harlot, the great Babylonian ministers of this great harlot system, the Pope, Billy Graham, Robert Schuler, John Hagee, and many other so-called \u2018Christian ministers\u2019 deny that \u201cNo man comes to the Father but by Me [Christ].” That is right, every one of those ministers will tell you that if you are true to the tenets of your faith, be it Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, or any other religion, you will go to heaven and be with the Father when you die.<\/p>\n That is just a single example of just how far from God the Christian Church is. \u201cThe whole stay of bread and the whole stay of water\u201d has indeed been taken away from His own people by the Lord Himself. There is not one doctrine of Babylon which has not been tainted with her false doctrines and her lies and her heresies:<\/p>\n Isa 3:1\u00a0 For, behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah the stay and the staff,\u00a0the\u00a0whole<\/u>\u00a0<\/strong>stay of bread, and\u00a0the\u00a0whole<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0stay of water,<\/p>\n It is all a work of God in our lives, but we still must be brought to our wits’ end and brought and dragged to repent of the wickedness which the Lord has worked in our lives. That repentant spirit comes only through His punishment for the sins of our \u201cday of evil\u201d which the Lord Himself has ordained for each of us:<\/p>\n Pro 16:4\u00a0 The LORD hath made all things for himself:\u00a0yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.<\/strong> Be not deceived; God is not mocked. What we sow is what we will reap. Our repentance does not mean that the Lord is not a just God who will repay us double for our sins:<\/p>\n Heb 12:6\u00a0 For whom the Lord loveth\u00a0he chasteneth, and scourgeth\u00a0every<\/u>\u00a0son whom he receiveth.<\/strong> It is the punishment for our sins with which all the seals, trumpets, and vials of this revelation of Jesus \u201cChrist within you the hope of glory\u201d is concerned.<\/p>\n Col 1:26\u00a0 Even the mystery\u00a0which hath been hid from ages and from generations<\/strong>,\u00a0but now is made manifest [revealed] to his saints<\/u>: This seventh vial and the fall of Babylon within us does not<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0happen at \u201cthe beginning of sorrows\u201d when we suffer multiple \u201cearthquakes in different places\u201d within our lives.<\/p>\n Mat 24:1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him\u00a0the buildings of the temple.<\/strong> Rev 13:3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death;\u00a0and his deadly wound was healed:<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0and all the world wondered after the beast. Our beast is restored to power within us in a really miraculous way which leads us to worship him, and in doing so to worship the dragon, who empowers our wild beast:<\/p>\n Rev 13:13\u00a0 And he doeth great wonders, so that\u00a0he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,<\/strong> Christ puts it this way: \u201cMany will come in Christ\u2019s name and deceive many; You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There shall be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in different places. All these are the beginning<\/u><\/strong> of sorrows.\u201d Neither Matthew 24:1-8 nor Revelation 13:3-4 refers to the seven last plagues of our study today.<\/p>\n Contrast those words at the beginning of Matthew 24 with this statement in Rev 16.<\/p>\n Rev 16:17 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying,\u00a0It is done<\/u><\/strong>. This is the last of the \u201cseven last plagues.\u201d This is not \u201cthe beginning of sorrows, [or the] healing of a deadly wound.\u201d<\/p>\n Rev 15:1 And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven\u00a0last<\/u>\u00a0plagues<\/strong>; for\u00a0in them<\/u>\u00a0is\u00a0filled up<\/u>\u00a0the wrath of God<\/strong>.<\/p>\n We will pause our study at this point and rejoice in knowing that the Lord is in the process of dragging us out of the clutches of that great harlot system. If that is the case, and our presence here proves that it is, then we can indeed rejoice in knowing that these seven last plagues have already begun to be poured out upon us because no man can begin to enter into the house of God until the seven vials of the seven angels has begun to be poured out:<\/p>\n Rev 15:7\u00a0 And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever. In this study we have concentrated on who \u2018the kings of the earth\u2019 signify, and what their fornication with this harlot signified. In our next study we will concentrate our attention upon the merchants of the earth” who are made rich by the merchandise they sell to us and what that \u2018merchandise\u2019 signifies. It will become apparent that \u201cthe dream is\u00a0 one\u201d and the \u2018kings of the earth\u201d are an integral part of \u201cthe merchants of the earth\u201d, but in coming to understand that all these symbols signify the nature of the one beast and the one harlot, we will come to see that they both signify who we are and what\u00a0 appeals to\u00a0 us in this part of our experience of evil\u201d which the Lord has ordained this life to be in order to humble the wild beast He has first made us to be:<\/p>\n Ecc 1:13 I applied my heart to inquiring and exploring by wisdom concerning all that is done under the heavens:\u00a0it is an experience of evil<\/strong>\u00a0Elohim has given to the sons of humanity\u00a0to humble them by it.<\/strong><\/p>\n \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":30,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[406,1480,3660,1058,1060],"class_list":["post-33710","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-studies","tag-babylon","tag-beast","tag-kingdoms","tag-vials","tag-whore","series-babylon","series-beast","series-kingdoms","series-vials","series-whore"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/server1.xploreseo.com\/iswasandwillbe\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33710","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/server1.xploreseo.com\/iswasandwillbe\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/server1.xploreseo.com\/iswasandwillbe\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/server1.xploreseo.com\/iswasandwillbe\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/30"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/server1.xploreseo.com\/iswasandwillbe\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=33710"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/server1.xploreseo.com\/iswasandwillbe\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33710\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":33711,"href":"https:\/\/server1.xploreseo.com\/iswasandwillbe\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33710\/revisions\/33711"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/server1.xploreseo.com\/iswasandwillbe\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33710"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/server1.xploreseo.com\/iswasandwillbe\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=33710"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/server1.xploreseo.com\/iswasandwillbe\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=33710"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
