[part two] Eze 16:8 Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, behold, thy time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness: yea, I sware unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord GOD, and thou becamest mine. See God now became her covering, and not the sinful covering of Adam. Now he entered into a covenant with her. This is that everlasting covenant He gave to Abraham. It is not the law covenant of Moses. Eze 16:9 Then washed I thee with water; yea, I thoroughly washed away thy blood from thee, and I anointed thee with oil. This washing with water was that Baptism in water in the name of Jesus Christ which did remit their sins. Now that polluted blood of animals was washed away from them. He anointed them with holy oil, which is that Holy Ghost. This is clearly the Day of Pentecost and that Church which was born there. Eze 16:10 I clothed thee also with broidered work, and shod thee with badgers' skin, and I girded thee about with fine linen, and I covered thee with silk. 16:11 I decked thee also with ornaments, and I put bracelets upon thy hands, and a chain on thy neck. 16:12 And I put a jewel on thy forehead, and earrings in thine ears, and a beautiful crown upon thine head. Eze 16:13 Thus wast thou decked with gold and silver; and thy raiment was of fine linen, and silk, and broidered work; thou didst eat fine flour, and honey, and oil: and thou wast exceeding beautiful, and thou didst prosper into a kingdom. 16:14 And thy renown went forth among the heathen for thy beauty: for it was perfect through my comeliness, which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord GOD. The above is a perfect picture of that first Holy Church. God clothed her with fine linen, which is her righteousness. He decked her with ornaments which was those gifts of the Spirit. That precious jewel on her forehead was that seal of God, the Holy Ghost. The foundation of God [those Apostles and their converts] standeth sure, having this seal. Then her glory went into all lands and brought people to God. She had perfect beauty through God’s comeliness, which is that long hair covering. This long hair covering is a proof of this everlasting covenant. It shows they are covered with the precious blood of Jesus, and not the blood of animals, which sanctifies that old law covenant. Eze 16:17 Thou hast also taken thy fair jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given thee, and madest to thyself images of men, and didst commit whoredom with them, These images of men, goes back to those images all the way from the other side of the flood. It was images of Adam and Cain, whom all man-kind worships, except they stay true to Jesus. They took these gifts of the Spirit and the truth of the Word, God’s gold and silver, and began to allow false teachers, men, to come in and pollute this great truth. Thus they were committing whoredoms with them. Eze 16:18 And tookest thy broidered garments, and coveredst them: and thou hast set mine oil and mine incense before them. 16:19 My meat also which I gave thee, fine flour, and oil, and honey, wherewith I fed thee, thou hast even set it before them for a sweet savour: and thus it was, saith the Lord GOD. 16:20 Moreover thou hast taken thy sons and thy daughters, whom thou hast borne unto me, and these hast thou sacrificed unto them to be devoured. Is this of thy whoredoms a small matter, 16:21 That thou hast slain my children, and delivered them to cause them to pass through the fire for them? All of this shows how the church began to copy the heathens around them and allow the truth of God to be polluted and false ‘food�?brought up. In doing away with the knowledge of the truth of God, the fine food he had given them, they now feed their children lies and cause them to be destroyed by these false shepherds. Thus they are destroying theirs and God’s children in the fire of idol worship. They picked up on all the idol holidays and now this is their ‘spiritual�?food they give their sick children. Eze 16:22 And in all thine abominations and thy whoredoms thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, when thou wast naked and bare, and wast polluted in thy blood. 16:23 And it came to pass after all thy wickedness, (woe, woe unto thee! saith the Lord GOD;) 16:24 That thou hast also built unto thee an eminent place, and hast made thee an high place in every street. See here they have forgotten that they were once polluted with their animal blood sacrifices and they have built churches (idol temples) in every street. They now proclaim all their false teachings everywhere. Eze 16:33 They give gifts to all whores: but thou givest thy gifts to all thy lovers, and hirest them, that they may come unto thee on every side for thy whoredom. 16:34 And the contrary is in thee from other women in thy whoredoms, whereas none followeth thee to commit whoredoms: and in that thou givest a reward, and no reward is given unto thee, therefore thou art contrary. See that this polluted church now hires men to come in unto her and teach her lies, or fornication against God. She pays them. They do not desire to commit whoredoms with her, in other words, those false men did not desire the truth of that Church at Pentecost. They did not wish to go against their false god and love the True God. So she, that polluted church, hires them to come in unto her and teach her their false ways. She gives rewards to all those hirelings who now run this entire church system. Eze 16:35 Wherefore, O harlot, hear the word of the LORD: 16:36 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thy filthiness was poured out, and thy nakedness discovered through thy whoredoms with thy lovers, and with all the idols of thy abominations, and by the blood of thy children, which thou didst give unto them; Eze 16:38 And I will judge thee, as women that break wedlock and shed blood are judged; and I will give thee blood in fury and jealousy. This is that harlot church spoken of in Rev. 18. This blood he gives her is the waters turned into blood in Revelation. This is part of the wrath of God which comes upon this harlot church which has shed the blood of their children in sacrificing them unto all these heathen idols of Santa Claus and such. Eze 16:39 And I will also give thee into their hand, and they shall throw down thine eminent place, and shall break down thy high places: they shall strip thee also of thy clothes, and shall take thy fair jewels, and leave thee naked and bare. This is the condition the church is in right now. Those false shepherds have now striped her of her holy clothes and jewels which were given to her on the Day of Pentecost. Now she pays men to say all of this is not for her today. They have now made her naked and bare as God first found her. All her women now cut off their hair and cast it from them, for the glory of God has departed from them. The church today is naked, blind, bare, and miserable because of her whoring with all these men she paid to teach her lies. Eze 16:40 They shall also bring up a company against thee, and they shall stone thee with stones, and thrust thee through with their swords. Now what is that speaking of? It is none other than the Adventist church of today which has again brought the church back under the bondage of that law which was written on stones. It is those stones they are stoning her to death with. By the law shall no flesh be justified. So now, church, you are again naked and bare and polluted in your blood. For only the blood of animals sanctifies that law covenant. Jesus broke that covenant and brought you into an everlasting covenant of LIFE, GRACE. Yet you were not satisfied with this simple way of serving God. NO, you had to have all those flashing lights and decorated trees and bunny rabbits, etc. Then you had to go back to keeping seventh day sabbath and such. And it is not just those things, but any manner of being back under law. Some of the false teachers tell you that you must tithe, that you must be at their doings at their set time, and you must obey anything they tell you. So they took you right back under the bondage which Jesus had delivered you from. So now you are back under the blood of animals which God has never one time accepted or found pleasure in. No matter how many rise up and accuse Abel of killing an animal and offering its blood to God, and saying God accepted this, their lies will never be true. It is just more of this pollution. So they have stoned you and thrust you with their swords of lies. Jesus never said stone people to death, not even for adultery. Yet Satan, Adam, said stone them to death even if they just go out their door on Saturday, or pick up one stick. All of that law system came from Adam and Cain. It never came from God. Eze 16:41 And they shall burn thine houses with fire, and execute judgments upon thee in the sight of many women: and I will cause thee to cease from playing the harlot, and thou also shalt give no hire any more. This is that judgment in Revelation where they eat her flesh and burn her with fire. This is the judgment of God against her. Eze 16:59 For thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even deal with thee as thou hast done, which hast despised the oath in breaking the covenant. 16:60 Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth, and I will establish unto thee an everlasting covenant. 16:61 Then thou shalt remember thy ways, and be ashamed, when thou shalt receive thy sisters, thine elder and thy younger: and I will give them unto thee for daughters, but not by thy covenant. Here God lays out their sin was in breaking the covenant He had made with them in the day of their youth. This is that everlasting covenant which came on the Day of Pentecost. It is the grace covenant, given to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. It is not the law covenant given to Moses. This is the covenant they were going under as they felt themselves above their sisters and too proud to even mention their names. Yet God said they had done worse than their sisters. He said I will give them to thee for daughters, but not by thy covenant, which is that law covenant. Under that covenant, they felt above all other peoples. Yet in truth, they were worse. Eze 16:62 And I will establish my covenant with thee; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD: 16:63 That thou mayest remember, and be confounded, and never open thy mouth any more because of thy shame, when I am pacified toward thee for all that thou hast done, saith the Lord GOD. This covenant he will establish with them after he has sent judgment upon them, is this everlasting covenant of Grace, for by law shall no flesh ever be justified. It is sanctified by the blood of animals, which can never take away any sins. Eze 16:44 Behold, every one that useth proverbs shall use this proverb against thee, saying, As is the mother, so is her daughter. 16:45 Thou art thy mother's daughter, that loatheth her husband and her children; and thou art the sister of thy sisters, which loathed their husbands and their children: your mother was an Hittite, and your father an Amorite. See here again God shows that this city of Jerusalem, to which he is speaking, was originally a Canaanite. See it said your mother was an Hittite, and your father an Amorite. This is twice he has said that in this chapter, so He is establishing this as His truth. So now how was this city a Canaanite? How was their mother an Hittite and their father an Amorite? Because the natural city of Jerusalem was already in that Canaanite nation before David conquered it and changed her name to Jerusalem. That original name was Jebus. It means to be trodden down. Eze 16:55 When thy sisters, Sodom and her daughters, shall return to their former estate, and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their former estate, then thou and thy daughters shall return to your former estate. Now that is showing that the natural city of Jerusalem will be manifested again on this earth as being a true Canaanite, the city of Jebus. This also shows that this earthly, polluted church in our day, faking herself to be the true Church of the Living God, born at Pentecost, will be manifested that she is the naked, blind, lukewarm polluted church of the Laodicians. She is not the true Church of God. She is originally a Canaanite, or idol worshipper. It will be made manifest after God pours out his wrath upon this filthy, whorish church. She will return back to her original estate. Eze 16:59 For thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even deal with thee as thou hast done, which hast despised the oath in breaking the covenant. Now because this false church has broken the everlasting Covenant of Jesus Christ, Grace, and gone back to that law covenant, which God has always hated, then since they say they live by law, and break that same law, then there is but one destiny for them, and that is to be stoned to death with those stones. After this, the true City of God, the Holy Jerusalem, which is spiritual, will be the only one who receives any glory. This false church will be destroyed in hell fire forever. In going back to law, they have trampled under foot the Holy Blood of the Grace Covenant, Jesus Christ. For this, God will never forgive them. It is the sin unto DEATH. Once they knew God and His Holy Covenant, then they willfully went back to that blood of animals, by going back to the bondage of law, God will never forgive this hideous sin of doing despite to the Spirit of Grace and the blood of Jesus. Now for proof that Jerusalem was originally the city of Jebus: 1Ch 11:4 And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, which is Jebus; where the Jebusites were, the inhabitants of the land. 1ch 11:5 And the inhabitants of Jebus said to David, Thou shalt not come hither. So now these Canaanites are this fake church. They are not that pure Church born on the day of Pentecost. They could not deny the Baptism of the Holy Ghost, water baptism in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remissions of sins, and the gifts of the Holy Ghost (they are those precious ornaments of God) nor could they deny that our Father still speaks to us, if they were of this true Church of God. They are the harlot church which we are commanded to COME OUT OF HER. The only proof of being a true Church is to go and be exactly like that first Church, there at Pentecost under the Apostles. Go exactly by the Apostle’s doctrine. Everything ELSE is of this harlot church, the Canaanites. Now lets prove that the blood of animals is the only blood which ever sanctified that law covenant: Ex 24:5 And he sent young men of the children of Israel, which offered burnt offerings, and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen unto the LORD. 24:6 And Moses took half of the blood, and put it in basins; and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar. Ex 24:7 And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the audience of the people: and they said, All that the LORD hath said will we do, and be obedient. Ex 24:8 And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant, which the LORD hath made with you concerning all these words. Now to prove that the law of Moses and those ten commandments are this covenant which God made with these people is this same covenant which is sanctified by animal’s blood: Ex 34:27 And the LORD said unto Moses, Write thou these words: for after the tenor of these words I have made a covenant with thee and with Israel. Ex 34:28 And he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments. De 4:13 And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone. Now this next verse is very important to this entire message. By these verses below, the Word proves that this law covenant of the ten commandments is NOT the covenant made with the Fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: De 5:1 And Moses called all Israel, and said unto them, Hear, O Israel, the statutes and judgments which I speak in your ears this day, that ye may learn them, and keep, and do them. 5:2 The LORD our God made a covenant with us in Horeb. De 5:3 The LORD made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day. (those who were alive there that day.....this shows it could not have been speaking of the covenant with Abraham or Noah or Isaac.) De 7:8 But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. De 7:9 Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations; Now that is prophecy, whether you can see it or not, it is speaking to the NT Church. It is speaking to the people whom God delivered from bondage. Now Egypt was only a type of this bondage of law. So this is a type of the deliverance Jesus gave to those who believe Him and come into the everlasting Covenant of Grace and mercy. There is no mercy under law. So when you see mercy connected with a covenant, it is speaking of the Grace Covenant. When you see the ‘thousand�?generations it is also speaking of these Grace people, for the law covenant was only to that one generation. De 7:12 Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these judgments, and keep, and do them, that the LORD thy God shall keep unto thee the covenant and the mercy which he sware unto thy fathers: Now see the covenant he made with their fathers is the grace covenant he gave to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. For Deut. 5:3 proved that the covenant on stone was NOT the covenant given unto their fathers. The everlasting Covenant was given to their fathers, beginning with Noah. De 9:11 And it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that the LORD gave me the two tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant. This is another witness that the tables of stone is this law covenant which Jesus broke. Zec 11:7 And I will feed the flock of slaughter, even you, O poor of the flock. And I took unto me two staves; the one I called Beauty, and the other I called Bands; and I fed the flock. Zec 11:8 Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul loathed them, and their soul also abhorred me. These three shepherds which Jesus cut off in one month was those Prophets, Priests, and the kings of old Israel. This is when he closed off that OT Covenant and brought in the NT Covenant. Zec 11:9 Then said I, I will not feed you: that that dieth, let it die; and that that is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let the rest eat every one the flesh of another. 11:10 And I took my staff, even Beauty, and cut it asunder, that I might break my covenant which I had made with all the people. 11:11 And it was broken in that day: and so the poor of the flock that waited upon me knew that it was the word of the LORD. The poor (in spirit) of the FLOCK (of God), that waited upon Jesus, knew this was the Word of the LORD. What? For Jesus to break that covenant with the people. So what covenant did Jesus break? That old law covenant of Moses written and engraven on stones. It was bondage. Jesus set up free from that bondage. Zec 11:12 And I said unto them, If ye think good, give me my price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver. Zec 11:13 And the LORD said unto me, Cast it unto the potter: a goodly price that I was prised at of them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of the LORD. Now that solidly proves this was at the time of the Crucifixion of Jesus. So this is when he broke that law covenant. So all who cling to that law today, are doing despite to this work of Jesus. They are trampling under foot his Holy Blood which he shed to deliver us from that animal blood of that law covenant. Zec 11:14 Then I cut asunder mine other staff, even Bands, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel. Breaking the brotherhood between Judah and Israel means he separated those natural children from the Spiritual children of God. We, the Christians, are the Spiritual Israel and the true seed of Abraham. We follow that everlasting covenant of Grace, not law. Zec 11:15 And the LORD said unto me, Take unto thee yet the instruments of a foolish shepherd. Zec 11:16 For, lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, which shall not visit those that be cut off, neither shall seek the young one, nor heal that that is broken, nor feed that that standeth still: but he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and tear their claws in pieces. The shepherd which does not visit those that be cut off is the ministers of Grace. They will not visit those who were cut off by Jesus. They know Jesus said I will not feed you of that old law covenant. Let those that die, let them die, for they will not come into the NT Covenant of grace. Those NT ministers would not heal that which was broken for they did despite to the blood of Jesus. Those that stand still, means they would not move into the new covenant of Grace and Holy Ghost, so they are cut off. These NT ministers eat of the FAT of those who are well fed in the Word of God. Zec 11:17 Woe to the idol shepherd that leaveth the flock! the sword shall be upon his arm, and upon his right eye: his arm shall be clean dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened. This idol shepherd who left the FLOCK of God, was those who refused to move into the NT Covenant of Grace. They were idol and refused to work in this new vineyard and feed the flock of God as Peter commanded them to do. His power of life dried up and his understanding was darkened, as he went back unto the bondage of law. Heb 13:20 Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, Now that is solid proof that the blood of Jesus is that which sanctifies the everlasting covenant.
