3. Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, [naked Laodidean Church]~~~~~~yea, thy shame shall be seen: I will take vengeance, and I will not meet thee as a man.
4. As for our redeemer, the Lord of hosts is his name, the Holy One of Israel.
5. Sit thou silent, and get thee into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called, The lady of kingdoms.
6. I was wroth with my people, I have polluted mine inheritance, and given them into thine hand: thou didst shew them no mercy; upon the ancient hast thou very heavily laid thy yoke.
7. And thou saidst, I shall be a lady for ever: so that thou didst not lay these things to thy heart, neither didst remember the latter end of it.
8. Therefore hear now this, thou that art given to pleasures, that dwellest carelessly, that sayest in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children:
9. But these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come upon thee in their perfection for the multitude of thy sorceries, and for the great abundance of thine enchantments.
10. For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; and thou hast said in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me.
11. Therefore shall evil come upon thee; thou shalt not know from whence it riseth: and mischief shall fall upon thee; thou shalt not be able to put it off: and desolation shall come upon thee suddenly, which thou shalt not know.
12. Stand now with thine enchantments, and with the multitude of thy sorceries, wherein thou hast laboured from thy youth; if so be thou shalt be able to profit, if so be thou mayest prevail.
13. Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee.
14. Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: there shall not be a coal to warm at, nor fire to sit before it.
15. Thus shall they be unto thee with whom thou hast laboured, even thy merchants, from thy youth: they shall wander every one to his quarter; none shall save thee.
While this is a very good lesson on personal lives, and certainly needs to be taught, there is a much deeper and more deadly meaning in these Scriptures of the man and the whorish, strange woman.
The most important message here is the one above, in Revelation.
This is the true identification of the whorish woman mentioned by Solomon in Proverbs. While most people only think of this in the natural, it is really much deeper and more deadly.
The whore is the very church you sit in each week. It is the very church you call the house of God. But it is not the house of God; it is just what this says, a whore.
Our body is the house, or temple of God. We are the temple of God. If we defile our temple, God will destroy it. The way of defilement is overlooked by almost everyone. It is by having relations with this whore, the church.
Yes, the church is this whorish woman, who is beautiful, enticing, cunning with her subtile words, devilish with her fake teachings and worship.
As she leads people into the idols of all past ages, through her banqueting, partying, festivities, x-mess parties, easter eggs hunts, sunrise worship, halloween mess, and all other junk such as this, she is leading you astray from the true Worship of the true and jealous God into hell.
Beware! all who enter into her gates will end up diseased, spiritually, end up broken, broke, sinful, deloushioned, believing a lie to be damned to hell fire. she is that fire which men [humans] take into their bosom and end up burned and destroyed. Flee, run for your lives.
COME OUT OF HER, MY PEOPLE, THAT YOU PARTAKE NOT OF HER SINS AND RECEIVE NOT OF HER PLAGUES.
HER PLAGUES WILL SOON BE UPON THE WHOLE EARTH.
COME OUT OF HER; COME OUT OF HER.
BE YE SET FREE. FLEE INTO THE WILDERNESS AND SERVE GOD OUT HERE IN FREEDOM, AWAY FROM HER STRANGLE-HOLD ON YOUR SPIRITUAL LIFE.
