Escaping Apostate Church Judgments (4)
David Eells 11/27/24
I’m going to pick up where we left off in part 3. This is important for the people of God to know because time is very short now.
Let’s go toZec.11:17 Woe unto the worthless shepherd that leaveth the flock! the sword shall be upon his arm….The arm represents your strength by which you do your works with your hands.Isa.53:1 … And to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?Our strength is Jesus Christ, “the arm of the Lord”, and we do our works through His power. This next verse we will sharespeaks about the leadership of apostate shepherds that God said He would raise up.Zec.11:17 Woe unto theworthless shepherdthat leaveth the flock!the sword shall be upon his arm,(I.e. he will not have the strength of the Lord to do His works.)and upon his right eye: his arm shall be clean dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened.The sword shall be upon his right eye, means his spiritual discernment, his ability to see in the spirit, his ability to discern and understand the Word of God, and so on “shall be clean dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened.” This very much describes the leadership in most of the Church today.
This sounds very much like a verse in Micah:Mic.3:6 Therefore,it shall be night unto you, that ye shall haveno vision; and it shall be dark unto you, that ye shall not divine; and the sun shall go down upon the prophets, and the day shall be black over them.We’re coming to a day when people who have called themselves prophets and spiritual leaders, pastors, and so on, if they have not followed the Lord in putting to death the old man of their flesh, and submitted to the Word of God, they’re going to become more and more blind. God is taking away their discernment. Even now, He’s taking away their spiritual discernment and they’re not even understanding that it’s happening.
Mic.3:1 And I said, Hear, I pray you, ye heads of Jacob, and rulers of the house of Israel: is it not for you to know justice? 2 ye who hate the good, and love the evil; who pluck off their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones; 3 who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them….What do you think it means to take their skin off of them? Our skin separates us from the world. It also is a protection against the attack of the enemy, isn’t it? Our skin protects us against germs and things like that. It’s kind of a first line of defense, isn’t it? So, again, why are so many of the people of God plundered by these curses? Because they are not trained with the true Word of God!
The Word of God is our defense, it’s our shield, it’s our high tower and there’s no protection unless we are trained in it. SoMic.3:3 … theyflay their skin from off them, andbreak their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the cauldron.Your bones are where your life comes from. Also we see that the apostate shepherds will devour and get fat off of the flesh of the sheep.
People who are not fleshly can’t stand these apostate ministers, but the people of God who are fleshly cannot discern them. Even the world can look at the apostate ministers and see that they are plundering the flock, but these poor people have fallen under their spell. They’re going to sleep listening to their teachings and so they cannot rightly discern.Mic.3:4 Then shall they cry unto the Lord, but he will not answer them; yea, he will hide his face from them at that time, according as they have wrought evil in their doings.
Well, it was the same in Jesus’ day. Jesus spoke to them in parables so that they would not perceive and would not understand and repent, and God would heal them according to Matthew 13:15. We know that the same thing is happening in our day. God is not going to grant most of them repentance.They have done evil in plundering God’s people and very few of them are going to escape.Mic.3:5 Thus saith the Lord concerning the prophets that make my people to err; that bite with their teeth, and cry, Peace; and whoso putteth not into their mouths, they even prepare war against him.In other words, anybody who doesn’t flatter their ego, well, they’re going to make war against them, right? Anybody who doesn’t feed their pocketbook or their ego, they’re going to make war against them.
Mic.3:6 Therefore it shall be night unto you, thatye shall have no vision; and it shall be dark unto you, that ye shall not divine; and the sun shall go down upon the prophets and the day shall be black over them. 7 And the seers shall be put to shame, and the diviners confounded; yea, they shall all cover their lips; for there is no answer of God.Remember how when Saul was in a war with the enemy and he was losing the war, he tried to get an answer from God and God would not answer him? And so what did Saul end up doing? Going to the demons.
Do you think it’s any different today? I don’t think so.Mic.3:8 But as for me, I am full of power by the Spirit of the Lord….“Micah” means “Who is like God.” Micah, who is like God, says,But as for me,I am full of power by the Spirit of the Lord, and of judgment, and of might, to declare unto Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin.Again we’ve found another Man-child here who is being accosted by the Eli, Saul and Pharisee ministries, right?
Mic.3:9 Hear this, I pray you, ye heads of the house of Jacob, and rulers of the house of Israel, thatabhor justice, and pervert all equity(which basically means “uprightness,” “pervert all uprightness”).10 They build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity. 11 The heads thereof judge for reward(They are hirelings like the Eli ministry.), andthe priests thereofteach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money: yet they lean upon the Lord, and say, Is not the Lord in the midst of us? no evil shall come upon us.
12 Therefore shall Zion for your sake be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of the forest.So judgment came on Jerusalem, the apostate leadership, because, God’s people have followed a Saul ministry, a Pharisee ministry, and so judgment came. And we see once again why this Tribulation is coming upon the world. It’s for the same reason. God’s people have not represented Him to this world and it has to be done. We’re coming to the end. God is merciful in bringing these judgments. It has to be done.
So returning to our text in 1 Samuel, we see that even though Samuel had showed up as a child and was not yet matured, and he had not yet come into his position of authority, God was training him. However, during this whole time, Eli was becoming darker and darker in his understanding and dimmer and dimmer in his sight, butthe lamp of God was not yet gone out, and Samuel was laid down [to sleep,] in the temple of the Lord, where the ark of God was(1Sa.3:3);(Samuel slept in the presence of God, didn’t he? He rested in the presence of God.); that the Lord called Samuel….Now, to make a long story short,the Lord called Samuel while he was in Eli’s house.
1Sa.3:11 And the Lord said to Samuel, Behold, I will do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of everyone that heareth it shall tingle. 12 In that day I will perform against Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house, from the beginning even unto the end.Wow! That sounds like it comes all the way down to us, doesn’t it? If God is prophesying that He’s going to judge Eli’s house all the way to the end, He must be talking about the end-time here. We know that there are people in Eli’s house today because, if you walk in the steps of someone, you’re a part of their house; you’re a part of their heritage.
In the New Testament, we’ve learned that you pass on your heritage by words and by nature, not by flesh. We areChristians because we have taken on HisName, meaning in Greek, His nature, character and authority – all those attributes. And, of course, you’d be in Eli’s house for the same reasons – that you had been taking on his nature, character and authority. That’s how you would be in his house in the end times. Well, God says that the days are coming when everything that He’s spoken about Eli is going to be fulfilled and I tell you, that’s happening in our days, folks.
1Sa.3:13 For I have told him that I will judge his house for ever, for the iniquity which he knew, because his sons did bring a curse upon themselves, and he restrained them not. 14 And therefore I have sworn unto the house of Eli, that the iniquity of Eli’s house shall not be expiated(“purged”)with sacrifice nor offering forever.Have we ever read in the Scriptures where God would not forgive and cleanse and purge a man’s sins, a man who is a child of God? Yes, we have. The Bible tells us this very plainly inHeb.10:26 For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more a sacrifice for sins.
What brings responsibility is the knowledge someone has. Jesus came on the scene so that those who said they saw would become blind and those who didn’t see would see. When Jesus came, He brought the knowledge that made people responsible. And He said,If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no excuse for their sin (Joh.15:22).His knowledge of the Word of God that He gave them made them responsible.
In this situation, Eli is being prophesied to through Samuel. God spoke to Samuel to give this revelation to Eli, which Samuel did. God essentially said that Eli’s house would not be purged by sacrifice; meaning God wasn’t going to forgive him for this. Some of you think God will forgive you for anything if you repent, but I’ll tell you what, they weren’t going to repent. And did you know, God grants repentance? The Bible says God has to grant repentance.
He doesn’t do that for everybody. He didn’t grant the Pharisees repentance; He didn’t grant Saul repentance; He didn’t grant Eli and his house repentance; and it was because they all continued to walk in willful disobedience.Heb.10:26 For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more a sacrifice for sins, 27 but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fierceness of fire which shall devour the adversaries.You see, there is a place where God will not grant, where the sacrifice of Jesus will not grant a person repentance because they continued to walk in willful disobedience.
Back to1Sa.3:19 And Samuel grew, and the Lord was with him, and did let none of his words fall to the ground.Oh, praise God! Have you ever heard the old saying that the heavens were brass? People prayed and they didn’t feel like their prayers were getting into the heavens, but instead, they were bouncing and coming back. Well, none of Samuel’s prayers bounced, folks. His name means “heard of God.” In other words, God heard him and when Samuel made a pronouncement it came to pass, and when he prophesied it was the truth. So be happy that we have a ministry like that coming down the road.
1Sa.3:20 And all Israel from Dan even to Beersheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of the Lord(Note that this is even thoughhe was a child at this time).21 And the Lord appeared again in Shiloh(which was the house of God); for the Lord revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of the Lord.He revealed himself to Samuel in the house of God by the word of the Lord.1Sa.4:1 And the word of Samuel came toall Israel.There it is, “to all Israel.” Samuel was sending this word forth to all of Israel while the Eli ministry was still in official authority here and so the rest of this chapter is about what happens to those who follow the Eli ministry.
As the Word of the Lord was coming to them and making them responsible, it was making them more and more blind and more and more apostate. God was taking grace away. Every time they would reject the true Word of God, they’d lose more grace. Today we see them stumbling around, very foolishly, with false doctrines and bad spirits. Why? They’re becoming more and more blind and their grace is being taken away.
1Sa.4:1 And the word of Samuel came to all Israel. Now Israel went out against the Philistines to battle, and encamped beside Ebenezer: and the Philistines encamped in Aphek.So once again, those who are under the Eli ministry are going up against the Philistines. As you remember, this happened with Saul. His battle against the Philistines was lost and God said the reason for that was that Saul didn’t put to death the old man when God sent them out to do that. So now the Philistines were coming back to conquer them and Israel, under the leadership of the Eli ministry, was going forth to battle with the Philistines.
1Sa.4:2 And the Philistines put themselves in array against Israel: and when they joined battle, Israel was smitten before the Philistines….We see the same thing that happened to Saul. The apostate ministry brought destruction at the hands of the old man and the people who followed that apostate ministry died at the hands of the old man, the Philistine.1Sa.4:2 … And they slew of the army in the field about four thousand men.Notice thatresponsibility brings judgment. Responsibility came because Samuel sent forth the Word to all Israel and, here, all of a sudden, judgment comes upon the apostate ministry and the people who follow them.
1Sa.4:3 And when the people were come into the camp, the elders of Israel said, Wherefore hath the Lord smitten us to-day before the Philistines?They didn’t understand why they were losing the battle with the Philistines. These are the elders. These are the elders of the church in our day.Why did God smite us? What can we do about this?They did not understand.Let us fetch the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of Shiloh unto us, that it may come among us, and save us out of the hand of our enemies. 4 So the people sent to Shiloh; and they brought from thence the ark of the covenant of the Lord of hosts, who sitteth [above] the cherubim: and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God.This is false leadership. They had taken possession of the ark of God.
Now, let me ask you a question here. You are a child of God because you have the Presence of the Lord in your Ark of the Covenant. The Ark of the Covenant was a part of the Temple. It was the presence of God in the Holy of Holies. So we together, the corporate body of Christ, we are that temple and our spirits are the Ark of the Covenant because God dwells in our spirits. So, because you have the Spirit of God, does that save you? I mean, here they sent to the House of God, they took out the Ark of the Covenant, they brought it with them and they put it in their midst because they thought this would save them.
They thought the Ark would save them, but is that really true? Remember what we read inMic.3:4 Then shall they cry unto the Lord,but he will not answer them;yea,he will hide his face from them at that time,according as they have wrought evil in their doings.So they’ve plundered the people of God, as the first text tells us, and now God won’t listen to them anymore. This is the same thing that happened with Saul. God would answer himneither by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets (1Sa.28:6), so Saul turned to familiar spirits andGod turned him over to demon spirits.
Mic.3:11 The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money(of course, the sons of Eli were doing all these things): yet they lean upon the Lord, and say, Is not the Lord in the midst of us? no evil shall come upon us. 12 Therefore shall Zion for your sake be plowed as a field….You see, the presence of the Lord didn’t save them. How is it that they could have the presence of the Lord in their midst and still not be saved from the Philistines? How is this possible?
Well, the Bible tells us inRom.8:12 So then, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh: 13 for if ye live after the flesh, ye must die….How is it, if we live after the flesh, we must die? Because if you submit to the flesh, if you let the flesh rule, thenit’s going to put to death your spiritual man; you’re going to spiritually die. You may still be living, but you’ll be dead on your feet. You’ll be walking in death and you’ll have no victory over the Philistine whatsoever.Rom.8:13 … but if by the Spirit ye put to death the deeds of the body(in other words, if you are putting to death the old Philistine, the old man, he says), ye shall live. 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
Now, I ask you, could the people who are following the Saul ministry, the Eli ministry, and the Pharisee ministry, could they be righteous? Could they be sons of God? And could they be following the Spirit of God? No, they couldn’t because they couldn’t see and perceive that these men were evil. They weren’t following the Spirit of God; they were following these men who were not following the Spirit of God themselves. So we see that you can have the presence of God and not be spared.
Listen, some people think you’re going to be saved because you have the Holy Spirit.That’s not so. You’re not going to be savedunless you follow the Holy Spirit. Having the Holy Spirit will just condemn you because you are capable, and you’re able to partake of the inheritance in the saints. Somebody who has the Holy Spirit can do this, but if you’re not doing it, then your gift is just condemning you that much more. The presence of the Lord was in their midst, but it wasn’t saving them and they lost the next battle.
1Sa.4:5 And when the ark of the covenant of the Lord came into the camp, all Israel shouted with a great shout, so that the earth rang again. 6 And when the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, they said, What meaneth the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews? And they understood that the ark of the Lord was come into the camp. 7 And the Philistines were afraid, for they said, God is come into the camp.Think about this. The old man fears God. The old man will not submit to Him, but he does fear God.And they said, Woe unto us! for there hath not been such a thing heretofore. 8 Woe unto us! who shall deliver us out of the hand of these mightygods?
Actually, that wordgodsis the wordElohim. It’s the same word we just read: “Godis come into the camp.” It’s talking about our God and they translated it “gods” because they knew it was coming out of the mouth of Philistines, but 2700 times in the Bible this was translatedelohimbecauseelohimis plural. God is plural. “Y-H-W-H isElohim”, the Scripture tells us. The name of the true God is plural. God is One God, but He’s One in unity, not in essence. So it should be read here just the way it’s translated everywhere else, as1Sa.4:8 who shall deliver us out of the hands ofthis mighty God? this is the God that smote the Egyptians with all manner of plagues in the wilderness.
1Sa.4:9 Be strong, and quit yourselves like men, O ye Philistines, that ye be not servants unto the Hebrews, as they have been to you.Notice “that ye be not servants unto the Hebrews.” God’s plan is that the old man is a servant to the spiritual man. They were afraid they were going to lose their position of authority over the spiritual man, so they said, “Let’s fight extra hard here; we don’t want to serve the spirit man. We don’t want to serve the Hebrews.” And you know the flesh hates the spirit; the flesh dies when the spirit man’s in control.1Sa.4:9 … That ye be not servants unto the Hebrews, as they have been to you: quit yourselves like men, and fight.
10 And the Philistines fought, and Israel was smitten….Even though the presence of the Lord was in their midst, the Israelites were conquered by the old man who lives in the land.They were conquered. It was because they wouldn’t follow the Spirit of God. They were following the Eli ministry and so they were conquered by the old man. We saw the same thing with the Saul ministry. Those who followed Saul died at the hands of the Philistines. Here they followed the Eli ministry and what happened? They were dying at the hands of the Philistines. It made no difference that they were what we loosely call “children of God”; it made no difference that they had God in their midst; they still died. It’s what Jude callstwice dead, plucked up by the roots (Jud.12).
And there’s another reason.Psa.78:56 Yet they tempted and rebelled against the Most High God, And kept not his testimonies; 57 But turned back, and dealt treacherously like their fathers: They were turned aside like a deceitful bow. 58 For they provoked him to anger with their high places….They had the high places of the altar of Baal and the Ashtaroth in the time of Eli, but Samuel put all that away.58 For they provoked him to anger with their high places, And moved him to jealousy with their graven images.This is what Ezekiel called the abomination in chapters seven and nine. The abomination.
Here’s an abomination. You know what abominations do? The abominations make one desolate. Well, what happens when you’re desolate? God leaves your temple.Psa.78:59 When God heard [this,] he was wroth, And greatly abhorred Israel; 60 So that heforsook the tabernacleof Shiloh(Aha! That’s “an abomination that maketh desolate”.), The tent which he placed among men; 61 And delivered his strength(that was the Ark that came out of the Temple)into captivity, and his glory into the adversary’s hand.
And we know that when the Israelites were conquered, then the Philistines took possession of the Ark of God. The Israelites had brought it there with their own hands. They brought the Ark out of the Temple of God, out of the House of God, with their own hands. They thought it would save them but, instead, the Philistines captured the Ark.1Sa.4:10 And the Philistines fought, and Israel was smitten, and they fled every man to his tent: and there was a very great slaughter; for there fell of Israel thirty thousand footmen. 11 And the ark of God was taken; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were slain.
When the Ark of God is taken possession of by the Philistines, it means that you, as the temple of God’s Presence, are being ruled by the old man. It means that the old man is taking the presence of God where he wants to go. He has taken possession now, you see, and that brings death every time.Rom.8:13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye must die….It’s death every time. You see, God’s presence comes into you so that you, by His Spirit, would be led by your spiritual man. But in this case, they lost their battle with the old man and the old man had taken possession of the Spirit of the Temple of God.
Psa.78:61 And delivered his strength into captivity, And his glory into the adversary’s hand. 62 He gave his people over also unto the sword(in other words, the death of the Saul, the Eli, the Pharisee ministry), And was wroth with his inheritance. 63Fire devoured their young men; And their virgins had no marriage song.64 Their priests fell by the sword(Hophni and Phinehas fell by the sword); And their widows made no lamentation.
Now, I’m going to share a revelation with you.
Not My Father's House
Care Sebourn - 06/27/2008(David's notes in red)
The dream starts with Mick and I going through a door of a rental house.(The house that is merchandised, Babylonish religion.)I am carrying ababy boy, he isbaldand hashuge blue eyes.(The fruit of Christ with heavenly insight and bald in this case, means no submission to Babylon.)As we enter I stop in the first room and look around. I noticed the place is filthy and torn up.(The apostate house of God's people has been trashed.)I can see the kitchen from the room we are standing in and there are stacks and stacks of dirty, gross dishes with food stuck on them.(Their table is unclean.)
Mick and I are disgusted and wonder why we would rent such a place. I notice my three children (the ones that still live at home) working like dogs, trying to clean the place up. I tell them to stop and that it is useless to try because it will never clean up. My kids are relieved and almost grateful that I saw it was useless.(It is time to give up trying to clean up Babylon and call the people out.Jer.51:9We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed:forsake her, and let us go every one intohis own country.)Then they drag out a huge box that is covered in dirt. They want Mick and I to see what’s inside, so they open it for us. Inside is a guitar covered in dirt, rocks, etc.(Unveiling the hidden corruption in their music and word.)
In an instant the room becomes bigger and is filled with furniture and people. Across the room Mick and I spot this man that is sitting at a dining room table. Right away I realize that he is the owner of the house. Mick takes the baby from me and we make our way towards him. As I am walking toward him I run into a thrashed overstuffed chair and couch.
I look down and notice the terrible condition of the carpet. Then I move the chair and notice huge rips and tears in the carpet. I then commented to Mick that they tried to cover the holes with furniture.(“There is nothing hidden that will not be revealed”.)How deceiving. Mick agreed with me. He is still holding the baby. I look up and notice the owner is still seated across the room. As we resume our journey towards him I realize that he and many of his “friends” are having aChristmas party.(Babylon's roots are from Babel of the false Jesus and Mary.)
We hear someone call the owner “Sal”.(Short for Salvatore, meaning Savior; teachers of false salvation.)These friends of his are smoking(which is partaking of unclean breath or spirits), drinking(out of touch with reality)and partying it up(overindulging in the world). They were eating from huge tables of elegant and rich food as they laughed and socialized. As we continue our way to “Sal”, many of these people stop us and try to engage us in conversation. They offer us food and we turn it down.(Refusing Babylon's spiritual food as did the three Hebrews.)I feel as though they are trying to stop us from getting to Sal.
Mick and I join hands (we still have the baby) and we begin to try and maneuver around the people. One by one some of them step in front of us and begin talking to us. All of them are so sweet and friendly. One woman was right in our face smoking a cigarette; she was terribly overly made-up with hideous make-up.(The harlot hinders “the way” of the righteous and protects their leadership.)The room was crowded and smelled nasty. The strange thing was that none of these people noticed the filth or the smell.(They are spiritually assimilated into the harlot and do not recognize holiness.)
As we reached the other side of the room, Sal wasin the corner. He looked up and saw us walking toward him and gotreally nervous.(These sons of perdition feel cornered and threatened by the righteous.)He gave us a fake smile and said, “Hello”. I noticed he had a New York(Little Babylon)accent and had the characteristics of a used car salesman.(They are slick con men.)I looked him straight in the eye and told him that he lied to us; this house was torn up and filthy and I wanted all of my money back.(Stop pouring God's money down a rat hole, Church!)
Sal dropped his eyes to the ground and ignored me. I repeated my request for the money back. He continued to ignore me. I was aware that people were still partying and going about their business and I could still hearChristmas music(Babylon's false Jesus worship). I stepped away and took the baby out of Mickey's arms and stepped into the other corner where I felt he would be safe. I observed Mick and Sal in an intense discussion and after a long period of time, Sal took out his checkbook, wrote a check and handed it to Mick. Then Mick made his way back to me in the corner, still having to dodge Sal's friends.
When he reached the baby and me, I noticed he was disappointed. The check was for $78 and I became angry because I knew thatI had given Sal over $2000.(The apostates have stolen 2000 years from the Church and all they want to offer is 78, which means ignorance and idolatry, which I’ll explain below.)I handed the baby back to Mick and took the check from his hand. I marched across the room towards Sal, and this time his friends didn't try to detour me or block my way. As I walked, they created a path for me to get to Sal and there was fear in their eyes.
When I reached him, I could tell that Sal was not happy that I was back and he began to slowly retreat into the corner as I yelled at him, “This is unacceptable andI will not accept this $78.(Don't accept 78.)I gave you over $2000 and all I got was this filthy house.(The Church has nothing to show for 2000 years of self-effort.)Take back your house and give me back my money”. Sal retreated further back into the corner and the room became dead quiet. Again I repeated my request and told him I did not want the house; I wanted him to refund the money.
He ignored me and so I repeated it again. He dropped his eyes to the ground and became despondent, as though he were wishing me away, but I persisted, and again I demanded that he return my money as I held my hand out in front of his face. Reluctantly, he again pulled out the same checkbook, looked me dead in the eyes, and said nothing. I then noticed that Mick and the baby were standing directly behind me. Then I repeated to Sal that I wantedallof my money back. He slithered down into a chair and began to write a check. As he was writing the check, I noticed that he became angrier and angrier. He violently removed the check from the checkbook and slapped it into my hand. When he put it in my hand, I looked down at the check and noticed it was for over $2000.(God is going to restore through the latter rain all that the thieves have taken from His people for the last 2000 years as in Joel 2:25.)
I snatched up the check and Mick and I began to exit the house hand in hand. Once we were outside, I noticed it was nighttime. I gave Mick the check and I told him that Sal could not be trusted; we must go now and immediately deposit the check. Then I woke up.
This dream represents the ministry of bringing the fruit of Christ to the apostate church in correction. It is full of sin and worldliness. This church is likened unto a rental house because it is merchandised. Jesus told the Pharisees, “Make not my Father's house a house of merchandise”. Their table (food) is unclean. Their leader and owner is Sal, which is short for Salvatore, meaning Savior. Many have trusted in these Pharisees and their word instead of the real Savior and His Word. Sal's friends are a hindrance in the way of the real Church. They have destroyed and corrupted (trashed) the Father's house. As Jesus said, their house is being left unto them desolate.
All attempts to revive the system are over and the real Church is moving on. Everything their leaders have stolen for 2000 years will be demanded of them. As in Luke 16, they will have to give account of their stewardship before they are thrown out of office. All they offer the Church in return is 78. I asked the Lord what the ‘78’ that the false leaders were offering represented. He gave me the 7th book and 8th chapter of the New Testament, 1 Corinthians 8, which speaks of false knowledge, sacrificing toidols, (which are demons in 10:20), preachers and religious systems, idols and idols temples, defiling the conscience, leading God's people astray, etc. This is what the apostate leaders offer in exchange for their leadership for the last 2000 years. But a great revival and restoration of all things is coming now. PTL!
