Here, the youngest of The Four Carpenters does his teaching on The Feast of Tabernacles.
Luke 18:16, “But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.”
Proverbs 22:6, “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”

Exodus 23:14-16, “Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto Me in the year. Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread: (thou shalt eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded thee, in the time appointed of the month Abib; for in it thou camest out from Egypt: and none shall appear before Me empty:) And the feast of harvest, the first fruits of thy labours, which thou hast sown in the field: and the feast of ingathering, which is in the end of the year, when thou hast gathered in thy labours out of the field.”
There are three feasts spoken of in God’s word that we, as Christians are told to keep. That is Passover, Pentecost, and Feast of Tabernacles. These feasts are of great importance to the Lord, and all correspond with Christ. As we know, when Christ died on the cross for our sins, we no longer were required to make animal sacrifices. Blood ordinances were done away with because He became our Passover, and sacrifice for once and all time.
1 Corinthians 5:7, “Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:
Ephesians 2:15, “Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;”
Colossians 2:14, “Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;”
Fifty days after Passover would be the time that Pentecost was celebrated. It was fifty days after Passover that God would pour His Holy Spirit on the apostles as many nations were gathered there to celebrate this feast. That day many heard the good news about Christ and believed on Him.
So what is the significance of the Feast of Tabernacles? Let’s start by looking at the meaning of the word in the Strong’s Concordance:
Strong’s Concordance 4908
Original Word: מִשְׁכָּן
Part of Speech: Noun Masculine
Transliteration: mishkan
Phonetic Spelling: (mish-kawn’)
Short Definition: tabernacle
dwelling (1), dwelling place (8), dwelling places (9), dwellings (9), resting place (1), tabernacle (109), tents (1), where…dwells (1).
When the Israelite’s came out of Egypt, the first town that they stayed in was Succoth (Exodus 12:37), which means booth or tents. This was the first celebration of the Feast of Tabernacles as they were celebrating being brought out of Egypt for they had been held captive there for 430 years.
Exodus 12:40-42, “Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years. And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the hosts of the Lord went out from the land of Egypt. It is a night to be much observed unto the Lord for bringing them out from the land of Egypt: this is that night of the Lord to be observed of all the children of Israel in their generations.”
During this time, the Israelite’s made booths which is a small hut or tent from the boughs of goodly trees such as palm, olive, willow, ect. This was done as a reminder of God bringing them out of the wilderness, and His protection over them. Not only was this a time to celebrate coming out of Egypt, but it was also harvest time where the Israelite’s would enjoy the fruits of their labor.
Leviticus 23:33-43, “And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the feast of tabernacles for seven days unto the Lord. On the first day shall be an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein. Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord: on the eighth day shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord: it is a solemn assembly; and ye shall do no servile work therein. These are the feasts of the Lord, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord, a burnt offering, and a meat offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, every thing upon his day: Beside the sabbaths of the Lord, and beside your gifts, and beside all your vows, and beside all your freewill offerings, which ye give unto the Lord. Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the fruit of the land, ye shall keep a feast unto the Lord seven days: on the first day shall be a sabbath, and on the eighth day shall be a sabbath. And ye shall take you on the first day the boughs of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and the boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and ye shall rejoice before the Lord your God seven days. And ye shall keep it a feast unto the Lord seven days in the year. It shall be a statute for ever in your generations: ye shall celebrate it in the seventh month. Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are Israelites born shall dwell in booths: That your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.”
So we see in this 23rd chapter of Leviticus that the Lord is telling His people that they are to keep this feast for ever. We as Christians don’t celebrate it for the same reason the early Israelite’s celebrated it. They were celebrating being brought out of bondage of the Egyptians. We celebrate it because we know that Christ came into this world on September 29th, the first day of the Feast of Tabernacles, and because of Him, we are no longer in bondage to sin. It’s because of Him that we are able to come repent of the sins we have committed, and be forgiven. Christ became our sacrifice and our resting place or tabernacle. We won’t be going into detail in this teaching about Christ’s birth correlating to the Feast of Tabernacles, but we do have an in depth teaching giving the breakdown of how His birth fell on this day according to the course of Abia. You can study it by going here: https://thefourcarpenters.com/2015/09/28/the-birth-of-jesus-christ/
Where else in God’s word does it speak of keeping this feast? Let’s look at the book of Deuteronomy chapter 16.
Deuteronomy 16:14-16, “And thou shalt rejoice in thy feast, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite, the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are within thy gates. Seven days shalt thou keep a solemn feast unto the LORD thy God in the place which the LORD shall choose: because the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thine increase, and in all the works of thine hands, therefore thou shalt surely rejoice. Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose; in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles: and they shall not appear before the LORD empty:”
So we have once again, God pointing out the three feasts each year that we are to keep.
As I stated earlier, Christ died on the cross for our sins, and we no longer have to sacrifice animals during these feasts to cover our sins. Before Christ came there were specific blood ordinances that took place to atone for sin. For that we will look at the book of Numbers chapter 29.
Numbers 29:12-40, “And on the fifteenth day of the seventh month ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work, and ye shall keep a feast unto the Lord seven days: And ye shall offer a burnt offering, a sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord; thirteen young bullocks, two rams, and fourteen lambs of the first year; they shall be without blemish: And their meat offering shall be of flour mingled with oil, three tenth deals unto every bullock of the thirteen bullocks, two tenth deals to each ram of the two rams, And a several tenth deal to each lamb of the fourteen lambs: And one kid of the goats for a sin offering; beside the continual burnt offering, his meat offering, and his drink offering. And on the second day ye shall offer twelve young bullocks, two rams, fourteen lambs of the first year without spot: And their meat offering and their drink offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, shall be according to their number, after the manner: And one kid of the goats for a sin offering; beside the continual burnt offering, and the meat offering thereof, and their drink offerings. And on the third day eleven bullocks, two rams, fourteen lambs of the first year without blemish; And their meat offering and their drink offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, shall be according to their number, after the manner: And one goat for a sin offering; beside the continual burnt offering, and his meat offering, and his drink offering. And on the fourth day ten bullocks, two rams, and fourteen lambs of the first year without blemish: Their meat offering and their drink offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, shall be according to their number, after the manner: And one kid of the goats for a sin offering; beside the continual burnt offering, his meat offering, and his drink offering. And on the fifth day nine bullocks, two rams, and fourteen lambs of the first year without spot: And their meat offering and their drink offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, shall be according to their number, after the manner: And one goat for a sin offering; beside the continual burnt offering, and his meat offering, and his drink offering. And on the sixth day eight bullocks, two rams, and fourteen lambs of the first year without blemish: And their meat offering and their drink offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, shall be according to their number, after the manner: And one goat for a sin offering; beside the continual burnt offering, his meat offering, and his drink offering. And on the seventh day seven bullocks, two rams, and fourteen lambs of the first year without blemish: And their meat offering and their drink offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, shall be according to their number, after the manner:And one goat for a sin offering; beside the continual burnt offering, his meat offering, and his drink offering. On the eighth day ye shall have a solemn assembly: ye shall do no servile work therein: But ye shall offer a burnt offering, a sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord: one bullock, one ram, seven lambs of the first year without blemish: Their meat offering and their drink offerings for the bullock, for the ram, and for the lambs, shall be according to their number, after the manner: And one goat for a sin offering; beside the continual burnt offering, and his meat offering, and his drink offering. These things ye shall do unto the Lord in your set feasts, beside your vows, and your freewill offerings, for your burnt offerings, and for your meat offerings, and for your drink offerings, and for your peace offerings. And Moses told the children of Israel according to all that the Lord commanded Moses.
Now we see the importance and beautiful gift the Lord gave us, by giving His only son to be our sacrifice for our sins. God doesn’t want our burnt offerings anymore. He only wants our love and to show Him his love it is important to study and know His word.
Hosea 6:6, “For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.”
Just like God wanted His children to come out of Egypt, He wants us to come out of traditions of men and false teachings taught in the pulpit today. Those traditions only make God’s word void. Satan wants God’s children to be ignorant of the true word of God, and wants us celebrating man made holiday’s instead of keeping the days that we are to truly keep.
Mark 7:13, “Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.”
Most people believe that these feasts were meant for those who practice the religion of Judaism, not Christians, however this is not true. Remember that those who practice the religion of Judaism do not believe on Jesus Christ, and according to their Talmud believe that Christ is in hell burning in his own excrement, and that Mary, his mother, is a whore. These are the same ones who had Jesus crucified. These are those who will call themselves Jews, but do lie, and are from the synagogue of Satan. (see John 8:44, Revelation 2:9, Revelation 3:9, 1 John 2:22-23) They have called themselves God’s chosen, and have turned these feasts into a mockery. There is a huge difference between those who are of the tribe of Judah, which our Lord and Savior descended from, and those who practice the religion of Judaism. They do not even keep the feasts on the proper days. Those who practice Judaism follow the lunar calendar. True Israelite’s followed the solar calendar. That is why those who practice the religion of Judaism celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles on a different day each year. Although the Hebrew calendar differs from our calendar, the 15th day of the 7th month falls on the same day every year. Just like your birthday falls on the same day every year. So we know that the Feast of Tabernacles begins each year at 6pm on the 28th of September, but those who practice Judaism celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles on October 17th this year, and in 2017 they will celebrate it on October 5th. For a breakdown of how we compare the Hebrew calendar to our calendar please reference Appendix 179 of the companion bible: https://levendwater.org/companion/append179.html#begetting
The Law was given to the Israelite’s at Mount Sinai and all twelve tribes were present, but who is to observe the law today? It is our intent to show that the Israelite’s were to be called by a new name after the dispersion and that new name would be “CHRISTIAN“.
Jeremiah 31:31-34, “Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the Lord: But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.”
The ten tribes of Israel would be scattered, first north, over the Caucasus Mountains, into Eastern Europe then eventually throughout the whole world and would become the Christian nations of today. As they were scattered they would take with them that new name.
Acts 11:26, “And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.”
So, who is it that is to observe the law today? Those that are called by His name, Christians.
Romans 2:28-29, “For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.”
So with all that being said, Let’s take a look at John chapter 7. This was during the Feast of Tabernacles, and here the Pharisees are celebrating. They are doing things in their own traditions, not keeping to the law of Moses, and Jesus will point this out to them.
John 7:14-38, “Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught. And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned? Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself. He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him. Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me? The people answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to kill thee? Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel. Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a man. If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day? Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment. Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill? But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ? Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is. Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not. But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me. Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come. And many of the people believed on him, and said, When Christ cometh, will he do more miracles than these which this man hath done? The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him. Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go unto him that sent me. Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come. Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will he go, that we shall not find him? will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles? What manner of saying is this that he said, Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come? In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
Jesus waited until the middle of the feast to speak because it was finally His time to, and when He did, He did so boldly! These Pharisees were questioning Him on how He knew the word of God to teach it because He didn’t go to their schools of religion. He didn’t need to, Jesus is that living word, and He is making it very clear in these verses. These Pharisees were going around plotting to kill Jesus when the law said thou shall not murder. They were outwardly looking all religious and spiritual with their fancy traditions, and at the same time seeking to kill Jesus. Part of the religious practices of those Pharisees, and those who practice Judaism today involves pouring water and wine over their sacrifices, and on the eighth day of the feast they would not draw water from the well. When Jesus says to them they that are thirsty come to Him and drink, and those who believe on Him, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water, He is referencing Isaiah 12:3.
Isaiah 12:3, “Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.”
Those who come to Him, and believe on Him will receive salvation! That is the key, and His whole purpose of coming. No more traditions of men, no more sacrificing animals. Believe on Him, repent and turn from your sins, and you will be redeemed!
Satan does some of his best preaching from the pulpit today. Misguiding people through false preachers and false teachings so that they won’t understand where they came from or the days the Lord has told us to keep. He knows God’s word, but twists it right at the end because his ultimate goal is to deceive. That’s why many don’t know the true date of Christ’s birth, it’s why they celebrate man made holidays that have nothing to do with the word of God, and it’s why when he returns at the 6th trump pretending to be Christ, most will follow him because they don’t know that the true Christ returns at the 7th trump. It’s why many people think they are going to fly out of here in a false rapture that is no where in God’s word. There is an easy solution to this. Study God’s word to show yourself approved. Only when you do this can you rightly divide it. We aren’t supposed to put our trust in any man, only trust in God.
Jeremiah 17:5, “Thus saith the Lord; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord.”
Even with our teachings, we ask that you research and study these things yourself. We pray that this teaching has been a blessing to you, and that it has opened eyes and ears today regarding the Feast of Tabernacles!
Thank you Heavenly Father for giving Your only son so that we may be saved! We are so grateful for your mercy, love and forgiveness!
Luke 2:8-14, “And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.”

As disciples and followers of Christ, we are to share the word of God with others. There are 3 different levels that we are to teach on according to each individual you are speaking to. You don’t want to overload someone who is a new believer in Christ, and you don’t want to speak of the basics to someone who is an avid bible reader. Jesus explains this to Peter in John chapter 21.
John 21:15-17, ” So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs. He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep. He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.”
As we know, Jesus is the Shepherd, and at this point in time, He is getting close to the time that He will ascend into heaven. Peter, being one of the apostles is to go out and teach the brethren the word of God. Things have not changed, and God wants His children who know His word to reach out to others. Some of these that we reach out to may be lambs because they are just babes in Christ, and can’t handle the full meat of God’s word. Just like a baby needs milk, and can’t digest food yet. He also told Peter to feed the sheep. Sheep have no need for milk, they need actual food, that is, the meat of God’s word to sustain themselves. Most churches nowadays stay stuck on teaching their flock only the small things of God’s word. They tell you in seminary schools not to teach above a fourth grade level. This has been part of Satan’s plan. He doesn’t want people knowing the truth or the strong meat of God’s word. He just wants everyone to remain as a lamb on milk. What does God’s word say about this?
Hebrews 5:13-14, “For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.”
So in order to exercise your senses, that is, to have eyes to see, and ears to hear so that you may be able to discern both good and evil, you need to be fed the meat of God’s word. Most churches stick to only teaching about salvation and baptism. They tell you that you don’t need to read and understand certain books of the bible because, of course, they’ve read it and understand it, and that you’re going to be flown out of here in a pre-trib rapture. None of this is new though. Satan doesn’t want you prepared, and he definitely doesn’t want you knowing what happens in the last days.
2 Timothy 3:1-7, “This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.”
Sounds exactly like this generation! Always learning, but never actually coming to the knowledge of truth. They’re so busy pleasing their flesh, and don’t take any time to study God’s word. They just trust the man in the pulpit to teach them a watered down version of God’s word. They’re educated by worldly standards, not Godly standards. Satan uses the education system (including the media), economical system, political system, and religious system (these four things are known as the four horns/four hidden dynasties) to get some of his best lies out there to deceive the masses. Father warned us of the famine that would be here in the last days in the book of Amos.
Amos 8:11, “Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord:”
This is what is taking place right now! If you try to even speak up against the false teachers and false doctrines, you get rebuked, even from other “so called” Christians. That’s okay though, we are still called to go out and feed the lambs and the sheep. We plant the seed, and Father waters it, if it’s His will. Jesus was hated and persecuted for teaching truth, and we will be also.
John 15:20-21, “ Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. But all these things will they do unto you for my name’s sake, because they know not him that sent me.”
It’s far better to be hated for standing up for Christ and what’s right than what the world deems right. Those who stand for truth won’t be popular to the world, but Father sees what you are doing. You don’t have to have some fancy degree to understand God’s word, you don’t even need to be an adult to know and teach God’s word. God’s word is so simple, even a child can understand it. That’s why Jesus said in Matthew 19, “Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.” For those out there teaching God’s work, and exposing the evils going on in the world, keep fighting the good fight!!!! Keep blowing that trumpet and sounding the alarm! In doing so, you are feeding His sheep.

Speaking in tongues…is it biblical, or is it a man made tradition that has been passed down in many churches? There are some churches that believe the “Holy Ghost” means that you speak in an unknown language to God. They typically use Acts chapter 2 to back up this claim, but let’s go through this chapter and see what was actually taking place here.
Acts 2:1-12, “And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. 3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. 5 And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. 6 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language. 7 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans? 8 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born? 9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia, 10 Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes, 11 Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God. 12 And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this?”
So what happened to the apostles on Pentecost? The Holy Spirit spoke through them. What does this mean? They spoke in a cloven tongue, meaning a language that went out in all directions. Notice how verse 5 tells us that there were people there from every nation under heaven, and then the next few verses go on to tell us examples of the different nations that were there. When the apostles began to speak and the Holy Spirit descended upon them, everyone that was there of all those different nations heard the apostles speaking in THEIR OWN NATIVE TONGUE. That’s the evidence of the Holy Spirit. Everyone understood it in their own language. There was no need for an interpreter. The Holy Spirit tongue talking you hear about in Pentecostal and charismatic churches today is not at all what happened here on Pentecost day. It is pure gibberish! It is a made up tradition of man that makes void the word of God. There is nothing in the bible that backs up what these people are doing in churches today. God is not the author of confusion, and the babbling that goes on in these type of churches where people are rolling all over the floor, running up and down the aisles, falling over, ect. is NOT of God!!!!! I know this may offend some, but you know who it really offends? Our Heavenly Father. Jesus did not roll around babbling, the apostles did not do it, and neither should you! The word tongue means language.
Original Word: γλῶσσα, ης, ἡ
Part of Speech: Noun, Feminine
Transliteration: glóssa
Phonetic Spelling: (gloce-sah’)
Short Definition: the tongue, a language, nation
Definition: the tongue, a language, a nation (usually distinguished by their speech).
If you have the gift of tongues, like Paul did, it means you can speak and understand many languages, like Spanish, Greek, Japanese, German, ect. An unknown tongue would be a language that you do not know. If you went to another country such as China, and you didn’t understand their language, it would be unknown to you therefore you would need a translator. When the Holy Spirit spoke through the apostles, it was heard by each and every person there in their own native language, even down to the exact dialect from where they were from. Meaning if you were from the south, and you were there, you would have heard them speak it with a southern accent. So what was the purpose of the Holy Spirit coming upon the apostles on this day? Father knew that there would be people gathered there from many nations, and when this happened to the apostles, the people of the different nations heard the true word of God spoken, and 3,000 people were converted and followed Christ!
There are a few other scriptures in the book of Acts that go over tongues just like the tongues spoken of in Acts chapter 2. Let’s look at Acts chapter 10 and Acts chapter 19.
Just to give an overview of Acts chapter 10, Peter was given a vision from God while he was on his rooftop praying. Many use these verses to condone eating unclean foods, which is not at all what this chapter is about. This vision was to show Peter that people who were born Gentile’s could receive God as well as long as they believed on Him. When Christ died on the cross, and the veil was rent, all were able to come to God if they believed on Him, and accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior. Gentile’s would now be able to be grafted into the Father’s fold. Let’s take a look at the word Gentile to see what it means. It’s important to do this because most churches teach that people who practice the religion of Judaism are Israelites, and Christians are Gentile’s. This is NOT true! Christians are the true Israelite’s. You can’t deny Christ and be called one of God’s chosen people.
1 John 2:22-23, “Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.”
Christ also goes over this in John chapter 8.
John 8:38-45, “I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father. They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham’s children, ye would do the works of Abraham. But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham. Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God. Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.”
These who practice the religion of Judaism, who call themselves Jews, but do lie, those who are actually the children of the devil are actually Gentile’s!
We will go into more detail of that in a future teaching, but for right now, let’s look at the word Gentile in the Strong’s Concordance:
|
1484. ethnos ►

|
Strong’s Concordance
ethnos: a race, a nation, pl. the nations (as distinct from Isr.)
Original Word: ἔθνος, ους, τό |
So, as we see, the word Gentile, is translated as “ethnos” or those of a different race, nation, or who do not believe on God. Many gentile’s mentioned all throughout the bible believed in pagan god’s. When one of these came to believe on Christ, and followed our Father’s word, they now could become an Israelite, or a Christian, and this is what God was pointing out to Peter. God knew Cornelius loved Him, and followed Him and that’s why He sent him to Peter. Now that we’ve established that, let’s move forward.
Acts 10:34-48, “Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him. The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:) That word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached; How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him. And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree: Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly; Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead. And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead. To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins. While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word. And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter, Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we? And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.”
Notice when Peter starts out talking that he points out how God is not a respecter of persons. Father used many people in the bible to do His will, and everyone that is on this Earth is a child of God. Christ didn’t just come for Israel and Judah, but for everyone! It’s important to know though, that if you do not believe on Christ, then these blessings are not for you.
John 3:16, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
It doesn’t matter what country you come from, what race you are, what language you speak, Christ paid the price for all of our sins and is faithful and just to forgive us of them as long as you repent, and believe on Him!
Now I want to point out the word “Jews” in this verse, and a little bit of background on this word. Many have been taught that Jesus was a “Jew” or that Jesus was “King of the Jews.” This is one of the many things Satan’s children have done to the more modern versions of the bible written after the 18th century. The original manuscripts did not use the word “Jew.” This is why many confuse those of our brother Judah with those who practice the religion of Judaism. We pointed out some scripture earlier to point out who those are that practice this religion.
The Jews admit that they are not the descendants of the Ancient Israelite’s in their writings. Under the heading of “A brief History of the Terms for Jew” in the 1980 Jewish Almanac is the following:
“Strictly speaking it is incorrect to call an ancient Israelite a ‘Jew’ or to call a contemporary Jew an Israelite or a Hebrew.”
(1980 Jewish Almanac, p. 3).
The etymology of the word “Jew” is very clear. Although “Jew” is a modern translation, its roots lie in the 3rd and 4th centuries AD. That is, the modern English word “Jew” is the 18th century contraction and corruption of the 4th century Latin “Iudaeus” found in St. Jerome’s Vulgate Edition and derived from the Greek word “Ioudaios.” The Greek word “Ioudaios”simply means someone who lives in Judea. Satan’s children purposely corrupted this word so that people would be confused. Automatically when they hear the word “Jew” they think of someone from the religion of Judaism instead of what it’s true meaning denotes. Father warned us of this in His word:
Revelation 2:9, “I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.“
Revelation 3:8-9, “I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name. Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.”
Now that we’ve briefly discussed the word “Jew,” let’s move on to the rest of what is happening in these verses. Peter is telling Cornelius and those of his household about all the things that they had already been hearing about Christ, and what him and the apostles witnessed first hand. He is also letting them know what job Christ gave them as His apostles, to go out and spread the word of God. This is the same job we as Christians are called to do today! That way we can help those who are spiritually dead or blind to the true word of God. It was right after Peter spoke these things to these Gentile’s that they received the Holy Spirit. Why? Because they believed in Christ, and were followers of the One True God! This amazed those that were with Peter because there was evidence of the Holy Spirit, being that everyone there heard these Gentile’s speak in their own native language! So basically when these native Italian’s received the Holy Spirit, they sounded just like they came from Joppa, the place where Peter’s friends came from, while he was living at Simon, the tanner’s house. This is exactly like what happened in Acts chapter 2 on Pentecost day. It was then AFTER they received the Holy Spirit that Cornelius and those who were with him were baptized.
Now let’s look at Acts chapter 19. This time we will be looking at Paul while he is in Ephesus talking to a group of Christian believers.
Acts 19:1-7, “And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples, He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost. And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John’s baptism. Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied. And all the men were about twelve.”
So we see Paul asking this group of Christians if they have received the Holy Spirit. They tell him that they were baptized by water, but not by the Holy Spirit. They hadn’t even heard of it. The baptism they received from John was a baptism of repentance of sins. They were saying that they had a change of heart, were turning from sin, and believed on Jesus Christ. These Christians had been baptized before Christ died on the cross approximately 20 years prior, and at the time being a Christian was dangerous. That is why they hadn’t heard about the Holy Spirit. When Paul laid hands on the men, they received the Holy Spirit. This was the same thing that happened in Acts chapter 2 and Acts chapter 10. The men spoke in the cloven tongue that went out in all directions and everyone present heard it in their own native tongue. Once again, no need for an interpreter.
Let’s take a look at some videos that show how tongues or the “Holy Spirit” doctrine has been taught in churches today. These are not true examples of the Holy Spirit. This would be the man made tradition of tongues and is in no way biblical. Christ and His apostles would not have had any part in this type of actions, they would have likely rebuked it and bound it. No one will be speaking in the cloven or Pentecostal tongue until Satan is here pretending to be Christ, and God’s elect are delivered up. Then and only then will the Holy Spirit speak through them so that they may testify against Satan.
Luke 21:12-15, “But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name’s sake. And it shall turn to you for a testimony. Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer: For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.”
Mark 13:9-11, “But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them. And the gospel must first be published among all nations. But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost.”
If you do not allow the Holy Spirit to speak through you at the time you are delivered up that, is the unforgivable sin.
Luke 12:9-12, “But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God. And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven. And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say: For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.”
Brainwashing children in the church today with this false “tongues” gospel from the documentary “Camp Jesus.”
False prophet, Rick Joyner, Morningstar Ministries, “The Holy Ghost Hokey Pokey.”
Matthew 6:7, “But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen [do]: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.”
Nowhere in Father’s word does He say we should be doing these things. Father doesn’t change, and His word stays the same, but man tries to corrupt His word to fit their own evil doctrine!
Hebrews 13:8, “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.“
This “Holy Ghost” movement we see in the churches today is demonic! It’s a spirit, but not a spirit of God! Satan preys on those who are out of their good heart seeking what they have been taught through false doctrine is speaking in tongues. It is not of God at all, and Father is highly against these things, and the evil preachers who are teaching this to the churches. They will be held accountable for teaching this false doctrine. Judgement begins at the pulpit, and those preaching this false and evil speaking in tongues doctrine will receive judgement from the Lord for misleading His children.
1 Peter 4:17, “For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?”
1 Corinthians 14 is another chapter that talks about the word tongues, but this chapter is not speaking of the same type of tongue that Acts chapters 2, 10, and 19 were talking about. It isn’t speaking of the cloven tongue that goes out in many different languages, but a single tongue or language. This chapter is improperly taught in most churches and one of the main reasons is because of the word, “unknown.” The word “unknown” was never intended to be put in this chapter, and was not in the original manuscripts. Anytime you see a word in your bible that is in italics, it’s because it wasn’t in the manuscripts. Sometimes they were added because there wasn’t a word that would translate from the Greek or Hebrew into English.
1 Corinthians 14:1-4, “Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy. For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort. He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.”
So what are these verses saying? Well first let’s look at the word prophecy here. The prophets that came before us wrote these words of the bible because they were divinely inspired by God. We therefore as Christians, when we go out and teach these words to others are teaching about these prophecies that came from the divine inspiration of our Heavenly Father.

Strong’s Concordance
prophéteuó: to foretell, tell forth, prophesy
Original Word: προφητεύω |
When you teach others about the word of God, it edifies them, and they are able to learn and understand things. However if you were speaking to a group of say, Spanish people, and you couldn’t speak Spanish, the language you speak, English, would be unknown to them. Since your native tongue would be unknown to them, there would be no way for them to understand what it is that you are saying. Only you would be able to understand what you are saying. The babbling and gibberish we see these charismatic and pentecostal preachers teaching their flock today isn’t God’s prophetic word, it doesn’t lead to the edifying of the church, and it certainly doesn’t help the members understand anything that is going on in the bible. These people truly think they have the Holy Spirit, but there is no confusion with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit leads us and guides us, it has nothing to do with vain babblings. Confusion is from the devil! The very verse that speaks of this is in this chapter (1 Corinthians 14:33.) The word babble itself means confusion!
1 Corinthians 14:5-9, “I would that ye all spake with tongues but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying. Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine? And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped? For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle? So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak into the air.”
These verses make it perfectly clear! Paul is saying that it’s better that they go out and teach those who understand their language than to speak in a language to people who wouldn’t understand it. Paul could speak several different languages, and he is telling them, that it wouldn’t benefit them at all, and it wouldn’t bring them revelation, knowledge, or anything if he spoke to them in a tongue, that is language, that they did not know. He even takes it a step further by using things that make a sound. If it doesn’t make a distinct sound, you wouldn’t know what the object was. If a trumpet squeaked or whistled instead of making a regular trumpet sound, you wouldn’t be ready for battle. If you were teaching at a church, and they didn’t understand your language, you might as well be speaking into the air because they will not be able to understand you.
1 Corinthians 14:10-17, “There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification. Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh shall be a barbarian unto me. Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church. Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret. For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful. What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also. Else when thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupieth the room of the unlearned say Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest? For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.”
Let’s look at the word significance in verse 10. To completely understand the meaning of this verse, you need to know the meaning of this very word in this verse.
|
Strong’s Concordance
aphónos: without voice, i.e. speechless
Original Word: ἄφωνος, ον |
So the word significance in this verse means voiceless, dumb, or without meaning. Now let’s read the verse with this definition in it:
“There are, it may be, so many of the voices in the world, and none of them is dumb and without meaning.”
What is Paul saying? That every word of every language has meaning. It’s not dumb. Every word is important and has an implied meaning. Therefore if you are speaking in a made up jibber jabber, you might as well be blowing hot air because there is no meaning or significance to your words. Barbarian means foreigner, and if someone from another country speaks to you in a language you don’t understand than it will be like a barbarian is speaking to you. The same applies if you are a speaking to someone in a language they don’t understand. It’s foreign to them. Paul is using many examples to point out here that you either need to know the language of the people you are teaching to, or you need to have a translator, otherwise the word you teach will be null and void. The same applies if you are praying in a unknown tongue or language. It won’t benefit you any if you can’t understand what you are saying. If you are muttering sounds and words that have no meaning, your prayer will be in vain and be unfruitful. In verse 15 Paul is pointing out that when he prays and sings in the spirit, he does it in a language that he has full knowledge of and understands. Your mind must be in tune with the Holy Spirit when you are praying and to do so, you have to have understanding of what you are saying. In verses 16 and 17 he is pointing out that if you are speaking to a group of foreigners in a language that’s not known to them, they won’t even know when to say “AMEN.” They will have no understanding of what you are saying, and what you are praying about, and therefore they will not take anything away from what you said, and cannot be edified. Paul has went out of his way to break down things is several ways to show you he is speaking of an actual language in these verses, not a made up language that no one knows. It’s almost impossible to see how so many churches can confuse this with the evil made up act of speaking in a babbling language that goes on in many churches today.
1 Corinthians 14:18-20, “I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all: Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue. Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men.
Paul had a gift of being able to speak in many different languages, but he points out in these verses that he would rather speak a few words to those who would understand his speech than thousands of words in a language that people wouldn’t understand. Paul is also telling us not to be like a child who might not be able to understand things, but like a mature adult who should be able to understand things clearly.
1 Corinthians 14:21-25, “In the law it is written, With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord. Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe. If therefore the whole church be come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those that are unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad? But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or one unlearned, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all: And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest; and so falling down on his face he will worship God, and report that God is in you of a truth.”
Paul is quoting Isaiah 28 when he is speaking here in verse 21 of men who speak in other tongues or languages.
Isaiah 28:9-11, “Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little: For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.”
Isaiah was making irony of the matter, for the message that was brought forth in a different language was one of the judgment of God, and not God’s mercy. The teachers of the end times will not care to look deep enough into the emotions of our Father to know his true feelings, to know what the Father desired. This is why they would come with their stammering lips and foreign tongues.
How are tongues a sign to those that don’t believe? This would be like what happened in Acts chapter 2, and what will happen again when Antichrist, Satan is here pretending to be Christ, and God’s elect are delivered up to testify against him. It’s not what you’re saying that will necessarily make these unbelievers believe you, but the fact that all will be able to understand you in their own native language. That is a sign of the end times, and it won’t take place again until Satan is here pretending to be Christ. If a non believer walked in on a church speaking in a language that they didn’t know, they would be confused if they couldn’t understand the language everyone was speaking in. Verse 24 is moving from tongues to prophesy. The 2 have very different meanings. To prophecy is to teach the deep meaning of God’s word. When teaching is going on in a church in many different languages at the same time, the effect will be the same as it was in Acts 2, for it will be something that has never been seen before. However if the one that is prophesying is teaching the true Word of God in a language they understand, then those coming in that are unsaved hear what is being taught, will be convicted and repent and turn to Christ. The heart is the same as your mind, and when you teach others what you have in your mind after you have come to the full understanding of God’s word, you are giving them the true word of God. Now they will begin to understand their need for a Savior, and they will turn from their ways and repent of their sins because they will feel conviction from the Lord. This can only happen when someone understands the word clearly, not traditions of men that are contradictory to the true word of God and only cause confusion.
1 Corinthians 14:26-32, “How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying. If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret. But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God. Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge. If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace. For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted. And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.”
When the body of Christ come together at church, each one has knowledge that they can bring to the table, but it’s important that they speak one at a time so that they edify instead of causing confusion. If someone is there that does speak a different language, let it only be 2 or 3, and make sure that there is someone there to translate it to the people there that do not understand that language. If there is no one there to translate, then it’s best that that person keep his words to himself and to God. If they try to speak in a language that no one can understand, it would be a distraction to the church. You never want to have too many people speaking at a church service. Usually only 2 or 3 people, and always one at a time that way they can listen and discern what they are teaching.
1 Corinthians 14:33, “For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.“
This verse is so very important! God is not the author of confusion! Satan is though. He is using these charismatic and pentecostal teachers and preachers to mislead God’s children with this evil, false doctrine of speaking in tongues. Does this practice look like it’s of peace? No, it is not peaceful or Godly at all! God has no part in it, and it offends Him greatly!
1 Corinthians 14:34-35, “Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.”
These verses are also some that are taught improperly in the church today, so let’s go over what is actually being said here. When it is speaking about talking in church, it actually means that there shouldn’t be a woman, man, or child chattering while the preacher is teaching the congregation. Remember that the church is called the bride which is a feminine term, but it applies to the whole church. If you look back in 1 Corinthians chapter 11, verses 5 and 13, women were told to pray and prophesy in the church, but they were told to keep their heads covered, meaning that they need to have Christ over their heads. This is why women get a bad rap when the men do the interpretation of the Word. Chatter is a distraction to the one teaching, and also to those who are trying to learn something that may be a bit difficult to understand with clarity. The course of the subject is to convey the message from God’s Word and chatter interferes with that course.
1 Corinthians 14:36-40, “What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only? If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord. But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant. Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues. Let all things be done decently and in order.”
Paul is teaching here that the words spoken did not come from man, but they were inspired by God. If someone is claiming to be a prophet, or teacher, their words better line up with God’s words. They should not be their own words and traditions that they are twisting to fit their own purpose or to mislead. Paul’s words always lined up with God’s words. That’s how you check a preacher to know if what they are teaching is true. If it doesn’t line up with the word, then you should find a different church. If someone wants to believe the garbage spouted in most churches today that go against God’s true word, and want to be ignorant, let them be. We are called to go out and teach this word though, line upon, line, chapter by chapter, so that people may come to the true knowledge of it, and have a clear understanding of what is being taught. Most churches nowadays focus on one watered down verse and then give their own life stories to back it up in their own way. Then the rest of the service is spent singing, dancing, drinking coffee, ect. No one really even brings their bibles anymore because churches are now more like night clubs than a Holy place of God. They have big screens for their watered down versions of the word, and light shows. It’s a joke, and if Christ was here, he would be whipping people out of these churches just like he did in John chapter 2!
John 2:13-16, “And the Jews’ passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting: And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers’ money, and overthrew the tables; And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father’s house an house of merchandise.”
Out of the seven churches that Father spoke of in the book of revelation, there were only 2 that He was pleased with, and those were the 2 that knew the key of David, that is the true genealogy of Christ, and the truth about Satan’s children that are here on earth today! Those churches were Smyrna and Philadelphia. If your church is participating in the false doctrines we have spoken of in this teaching, and our past teachings, then it is not one of the churches that Father is proud of.
Let’s finish up these last few verses in 1 Corinthians 14. In verse 39 when it says, “and forbid not to speak with tongues,” it is saying that we are also not to forbid an interpreter to follow a teacher that is teaching in another language. But whatever method and process that the teaching takes, let it be done with order, and deliver the message with dignity. The word decently in the last verse would actually be better translated as honestly. When we teach the word to others, we need to remember to teach on their level. Not everyone is on the same level, and not everyone is able to understand God’s word as quickly as others. So when we teach, do it honestly and clearly so that they may understand.
We know there are other verses in the bible that speak of tongues, but these are those that many churches use for their false doctrine of speaking in tongues. Always remember, God is not, and never will be the author of confusion, so if you see things or hear things in church that are confusing, you should know who they come from. We pray that this teaching helped all who read it, and that it opened eyes and ears to God’s true word!

God ordained the family back in the Garden of Eden, and Satan has always hated this institution. Satan has been doing his best since the beginning to attack and separate the family. His first attack happened when he beguiled Eve in the garden. We will go into a deeper teaching on that in the future, but I assure you, she did not eat an apple. The act that took place in the garden was a sexual act between her and Satan, and Adam also partook of this fruit.
Genesis 3:6-7, “And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.”
What did Adam and Eve notice after “eating” the fruit? That they were naked, and then they covered their private parts with fig leaves.
Genesis 3:13, “And the Lord God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.“
The word beguiled in this verse is exapataó meaning to seduce wholly.

Strong’s Concordance
exapataó: to seduce wholly, deceive
Original Word: ἐξαπατάω |
Then what does God tell the serpent?
Genesis 3:15, “And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.“
Let’s take a look at that word seed in this verse. Here it is in the Strong’s Concordance:

Strong’s Concordance
zera: a sowing, seed, offspring
Original Word: זָ֫רַע |
So the word seed in verse 15 in the 3rd chapter of Genesis is talking about putting enmity between Satan’s (the serpent’s) seed, and Eve’s seed. Most don’t know that Satan has a physical seed line or offspring dwelling in the earth today, but he does. Cain was the son of Satan and Eve, and it was Cain who killed his half twin brother Abel who the bloodline of Christ was to come through. Christ even documents this when talking to Satan’s children in John chapter 8.
John 8:38-44, “I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father. They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham’s children, ye would do the works of Abraham. But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham. Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God. Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.”
Who was the first murderer???? Cain! These Kenite’s that Christ is speaking to here, Kenite’s being the descendants of Cain, are the very ones who had Christ Crucified. Christ also tells of the seed line of Satan in Matthew chapter 13 when he explains the parable of the wheat and the tares.
Matthew 13:24-30, “Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.”
Christ then explains later in this chapter who sowed the tares:
Matthew 13:36-42, “Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field. He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.”
Remember as we mentioned above what this word seed means. It literally means, children, offspring, and descendants. This is why the sin committed in the garden by Adam and Eve was so evil. I know this is probably new to some people and difficult to take in, but if you use a Strong’s Concordance to look up the words in Genesis Chapter 3, such as fruit, eat, and touch, you will see that Eve and Adam took part in a sexual act with Satan, thus resulting in the birth of Cain.
At that time, Satan was doing this to defile the very bloodline that Christ would come through. He made many attempts at this, and today he is doing this with things such as the worldwide acceptance towards homosexuality, the LGBT movement, divorce, adultery, pornography, feminism, co-habitation, premarital sex, and a generation that now thinks marriage is a joke. His agenda from the beginning is to turn people away from Christ. He knows if he does this, then his return at the 6th trump will result in most of the world following after him because they will believe that he himself is Christ.
Revelation 12:9, “And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.“
The TRUE Christ does not come until the 7th trump, and those that are true followers of God’s word will know this. They have the key of David, that is knowing the true genealogy of Jesus, and knowing who these Kenite’s are.
Revelation 3:7-9, “And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth; I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name. Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.”
Revelation 2:9, “ I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.“
Satan is going to be so convincing that if it were possible, even the very elect could be deceived (Matthew 24:24), but I don’t believe they will. They know he will be coming at the 6th trump pretending to be Christ, even looking just like many churches have portrayed Christ to look like.
Why was Satan so convincing to Eve? Remember she said the tree was “pleasant to the eyes.” Satan is not the scary, red horned, ugly being that movies and churches point him out to be. Satan, also known as Lucifer was beautiful! He was the whole package, and he knew scripture better than anyone else. That’s what he uses to deceive the masses, and it’s what he used to deceive Eve. He used scripture on her, but twisted it at the end. He attempted to do this to Christ when he tempted him in the wilderness as well. You can bet he is using men in the pulpit today to twist scripture to deceive people so they will be ready for him when he returns. Satan is a scripture lawyer, and knows exactly what to say to mislead people. He has pastors preaching all kinds of false doctrine in the churches today. He even has pastors teaching that it’s okay to be homosexual, and even has homosexual preachers teaching in the churches today!
2 Corinthians 11:13-15, “ For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.”
What most churches make Satan out to look like:
What Satan will actually look like:
Ezekiel 28:14-19, “Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee. Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee. All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.”
So now that we’ve pointed out how Satan deceived Adam & Eve, let’s go into some of the things he is doing today to separate the family or to defile the idea of marriage according to the bible. Let’s start by looking at what Father says about marriage.
Genesis 2:24, “Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.“
Ephesians 5:25-31, “Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.”
1 Corinthians 7:1-5, “Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband. The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife. Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.
Proverbs 18:22, “Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the Lord.“
Genesis 9:1, “And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.“
Jeremiah 29:6, “Take ye wives, and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, that they may bear sons and daughters; that ye may be increased there, and not diminished.“
These are just a few of the verses in the bible that point out how marriage is a blessing, and what Father wants for us. He also clearly states what our duties are as husbands and wives, and that we are to go and bear children as well. Children are a blessing from the Lord.
Psalm 127:3-5, “Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.”
Proverbs 17:6, “ Children’s children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers.
So then why are so many people, Christian people, in this generation turning away from marriage? Why do we see so many adults in their late 20’s, 30’s, and 40’s still living at home with their parents, not getting married and not having children? Because this is what Satan wants! He has convinced this generation that it’s okay to have premarital sex, that marriage and love means nothing. That abortion and birth control is the solution. That all we need to focus on is ourselves! Why would anyone need to get married in this generation, men especially when they can get all their needs met online. The porn industry is booming, and even young men nowadays don’t have to go any further than flipping on the tv or watching a youtube video to find all kinds of vulgarity.
Below is an article that’s showing that young men prefer porn to marriage:
The statistics for Christian men between 18-30 years old are particularly striking:
The statistics for middle-aged Christian men (ages 31-49) are no less disturbing:
Even married Christian men are falling prey to pornography and extra-marital sexual affairs at alarming rates:
“These statistics knock the wind right out of you. They also confirm what we already know; that there definitely is a problem with pornography and affairs among Christians men and that they are starving for the church to step forward with solutions,” according to Joel Hesch, who sponsored the survey and is the founder of a non-profit biblically-based organization named Proven Men Ministries. Hesch adds, “The purpose of the survey was not to point fingers, but to get a better grasp on the scope of the problem in light of ready access to pornography in this Internet era.”
Hesch continues: “It’s abundantly clear that pornography is one of the biggest unaddressed problems in the church.” In fact, these alarming statistics are not limited to those who nominally consider themselves Christian.
Those who identify themselves as born-again Christians have similar struggles with pornography and affairs:
These statistics are sad, but this was Satan’s plan! This isn’t even including things that most don’t consider porn or how some use social media as a sexual tool. These things are preventing young men from wanting relationships, and breaking apart relationships and marriage. Remember, Satan hates the institution of marriage because he knows it’s a blessing and gift from God, so he’s going to do everything in his power to take that blessing away from people.
Pornography, adultery, lust, premarital sex (fornication), homosexuality, and many other sexually immoral things are spoken of all over in the bible. That shows you just how much our Heavenly Father is against these things, but we now live in a world where good is bad and bad is good. Anything goes. There’s no moral compass anymore. That’s how we know we are living in the last days. The world is starting to look much like Sodom and Gomorrah.
2 Timothy 3:1-7, “This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.”
Sounds a lot like the world we are living in today, doesn’t it? Where all matter of evil is accepted and looked upon as good. Where everyone is selfish, committing sin regularly while calling themselves “Christians.” Now let’s look at some scriptures about sexual immorality to see what exactly the Lord thinks of these things.
1 Corinthians 6:18, “Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.“
Hebrews 13:4, “Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.“
1 Thessalonians 3-5, “For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication: That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour; Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:”
Ephesians 5:5, “ For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.“
1 Corinthians 6:13-20, “Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body. And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power. Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid. What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh. But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.”
Galatians 5:19, “Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,“
Mark 7:20-23, “And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.”
2 Timothy 2:22, “Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.“
1 Peter 2:11, “Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;“
These are only a few of the scriptures that cover this subject. There are many more all throughout the bible. So it’s very clear that Father is against these things. Satan would have you believe that there’s nothing wrong with them. Most think they can do them and repent later, but when you know Father’s word and continue to do things, Father doesn’t look to kindly on it. We all fall short, but to continue to live a life of sin is a problem. With that being said, let’s move on to some scripture covering a subject that many Christians try to avoid. That is homosexuality. Father considers it an abomination, and His word is very clear about the subject. That is the very reason he destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. So many churches, even large, popular churches are accepting this and now the schools are promoting the LGBT movement.
Satan isn’t just attacking husband and wives, he is after your children as well. Think about all the filth on television, in movies, video games, advertisements, toys, books magazines. Everything is meant to defile your children and take them away from God. It is our job as parents to make sure we prevent this and instill good morals in them. The schools have been indoctrinating children for a long time. Ever since they took the Bible out of the schools! Now we have a generation of children who think it’s okay to chose whether you want to be a girl or a boy, who think premarital sex with multiple partners is okay, and that they can experiment with homosexual acts. Children aren’t born this way, they are made that way. Saying that God made them that way is vile. God wouldn’t create something that goes against His word. So what does God’s word say about homosexuality???
Leviticus 18:22, “Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.“
1 Corinthians 6:9-11, “Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.”
Romans 1:26-28, “For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;”
Leviticus 20:13, “If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.“
God’s word is also very clear that he made male and female, there is no confusion with the Lord. He created man for woman, and woman for man. Period!
Mark 10:6-9, “But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.”
Satan, and his children, the Kenite’s are the ones promoting this LGBT agenda, and they are pushing it on your children to corrupt them and defile them. Does this look like something Godly and pure?
Philippians 4:8-9, “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.”
Tied to the homosexual agenda is the feminism agenda. There aren’t any good male role models nowadays like their used to be. Most television shows make fun of the traditional family, and cut down males as a whole. Most of the research done regarding millennials who are not married state that a big part of the problem is that most women are career focused now instead of family focused. Women now have careers in fields that were primarily male dominated because they wanted to be equal. God designed specific roles for men and women, and the male is to be the head of the household.
Ephesians 5:23, “For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.“
1 Corinthians 11:3, “But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.“
Below is an article regarding this subject, and why young men are opting out of marriage.
https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/young-men-giving-up-on-marriage-women-arent-women-anymore
We live in a generation where love is treated like a game. No one takes it seriously, they throw it away. God’s perfect plan is now a thing of the past. Sex comes easy and it’s everywhere you look. On magazines, on the television, ect. Just like Satan deceived Adam and Eve, he is deceiving the world with his lies. He’s putting the lusts of the flesh and fleshly desires in the hearts of men so they don’t focus on the Lord. God didn’t put us on this earth for us to please ourselves. We were put here for his pleasure.
Revelation 4:11, “Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.“
The Lord knew these days would come, and He warned us all throughout His word. It was meant to help us and guide us through these times and show us how we are to live.
2 Corinthians 11:3, “But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.“
Satan is subtil. He has slowly gotten the evils to be considered good, and we now live in a country where the abominations that God is against are widely accepted. If you are against them as a Christian, you are called a bigot and talked down to. That is why the churches are now allowing these things. They are being pressured and bullied into it. As Christians, we need to be taking a stand against these things. We need to stand on God’s word and His values, not the world’s values. This teaching wasn’t meant to condemn anyone who has been divorced, had premarital sex, or any other sexual sins. It’s meant to expose the evil that Satan has planned for the family. We have a loving Father who knows our hearts, and if we turn from our sins and repent, then he is faithful and just to forgive us. That’s the key though, you need to turn from them and repent.
1 john 1:9, “ If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.“
We pray that this teaching helped you, and opened eyes and ears of those that were meant to receive it!

Do you want to be the one taken? Most of us have been taught in church that we want to be the one taken, or “raptured” out of here, and we idly listened to our preachers without getting into the word ourselves to find out what Matthew 24:40 was really talking about. If you don’t read the verses prior to this, then you won’t understand it.
Matthew 24:37-39, “But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.”
Notice who was taken…it wasn’t Noah. Noah was prepared, and was ready for the flood, while the others were caught up in the world, and did not heed the warning. In the last days there will be another flood coming, but this time it will be a flood of lies from the false preachers who are teaching people that they don’t need to understand and know God’s word about the end time because they are going to fly out of here in the rapture. The rapture doctrine is a false doctrine created by man, and is one of Satan’s greatest deceptions. Luke 17 explains it even more.
Luke 17: 34-37, ” I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.”
You need to know that the proper translation of eagles here is actually vultures just like in Matthew 24:28. What do vultures do? They are scavengers and they prey on dead flesh. In this case it will be speaking of flesh that is spiritually dead. Satan and his vultures, or false teachers who have been misleading people with this rapture doctrine prey on people who are spiritually dead. Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21 clearly tell you who will be coming first, and what the signs are. Satan comes first, and will deceive many that he is the true Christ. That is why it says Christ is coming like a thief in the night several times. No one will be watching because they will think Christ is already here. It is Christ who spells this out in these chapters exactly what to be watching for when He comes. It won’t be a secret, all will know when Christ truly appears, and He calls His children to be watchmen. He gave us these signs so we know what to look for. There would be no need for these signs if He just planned to secretly rapture us out of here.
Matthew 24:45-46, “Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.”
So the blessed servant is the one who STAYED in the field, the one who was faithful and continued working. Who preached the MEAT of God’s word, not the milk. We are to be doing His work by spreading the TRUE gospel, not looking for a way out. God didn’t rapture Noah out, or Moses, but provided them with a way to get through the tribulations of their time, as He will do for us as well.

This video exposes the agenda of the 4 horns/4 hidden dynasties (educational, political, economical, and religion) and lets you know what they are doing to the whole world to bring in their New World Order. Horns when spoken of in the bible always represent power, and these 4 horns/dynasties are the powers of the Earth right now and are the negative part of God’s plan. Education/Media (Daniel 1:3-5), Economy ( Daniel 11: 21-32 and Daniel 8:23-26), Religion (Revelation 13: 11-18), Political (Revelation 17:12-18)
Luke 21:9 KJV “But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.”
