Ro
1 “18For
the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and
unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; 19Because
that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto
them. 20For the invisible things of him from the creation of the
world are clearly seen,
being understood by the things that are made, even his
eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: 21Because
that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful;
but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22Professing
themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23And changed the glory of
the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds,
and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. 24Wherefore God also
gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour
their own bodies between themselves: 25Who changed the truth of God
into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who
is blessed for ever. Amen.”
God has done and continues to do everything it takes to make all men know
Him, so that there is no excuse for those who chose to serve the god of this
world. Indeed, the inhabitants of the earth have chosen to get lost in their
thoughts and to plunge their hearts into darkness through a strong denial of the
truth by holding it unfairly captive to favor the error. To understand how all
the inhabitants of the earth (exception of Revelation 13:8) came to dedicate the
whole humanity to the devil, we have to read the book of Genesis, from the
seduction of the woman by the old serpent, the development of human rebellion
against the God of eternity, until man decided to build his own kingdom in
which God was totally excluded. But whatever the approach, whenever and
wherever the God of eternity is excluded, it is the god of this age who is
welcome. So, as this rebellion characterized all the inhabitants of the earth,
the devil became the god of the earth or the prince of this world.
Jn 13 “26Jesus
answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it. And when
he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. 27And
after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou
doest, do quickly.” All
the apostles had eaten the same bread and drunk the same cup. The bread
symbolized Christ's flesh, or the Word of God made flesh. The others ate for
their blessing, but Judas in whom the devil had already put the plan to betray
the Lord (v. 2) ate for his curse. The Spirit says: 1Co 11 “29For
he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to
himself, not discerning the Lord’s body.” Some hear the word for their salvation
and blessing others for their damnation or curse. Now, in this chapter 13 of
the Gospel according to John, we read that the purpose of betraying the Lord
had long been in the heart of Judas, in other words he had a predisposition.
But the devil was made flesh in Judas to accomplish this purpose when his curse
was actualized.
When a person gets
cursed, he becomes an instrument conducive to the work of Satan. This is what
we find from the genesis of mankind. The first member of the human family who
got cursed was Cain: he rejected the counsel of God and followed the
stubbornness of his heart. Satan then entered into Cain and, through him, he
began to implement his plans to dominate and be worshiped as God. He had
designed these plans in his heart many years earlier. In the event of these
designs, Cain, and all his seed after him, undertook major works and performed
great feats such as the construction of cities : Ge 4 “17And
Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city,
and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.” The feats
of this line of Cain were so great and so numerous that with the seventh
generation after Cain we see appear the ancestors of great farmers, inventors
of music as well as those who launched the Bronze Age (Ge 4:20-22).
It is Satan who
was trying to inspire his genius in this line that was dedicated to him and
through which he would now impose his hegemony over all the earth. We do not
forget that Cain was religious and that his religion was incompatible with the
Word of God he had rejected. On Adam's side, there are no so amazing feats: it
is a line of poor in spirit, meek people who only have the hunger and thirst
for righteousness. But the lineage cursed by God but "blessed" by the
god of this age yielded scientists, inventors and geniuses. In 1960 Western newspapers
published a discovery in Mexico, where water facilities were dug up that had
been set before the antediluvian flood. They were modern water systems just
like we have now; they were sunk so far beneath the ground.
Controlled by
Satan through the seed of Cain, the world had progressed a lot in all areas of
human life: architecture, science, technology, culture and even in cosmetics
and work design of worldly woman. Indeed, this is what made them more beautiful
than the daughters of God (seed of Adam) who were abandoned by their brothers bewitched
by the beauty of the world (Gen. 6). What do the scriptures tell us? Mt 24
“37But as the days of Noe were, so shall
also the coming of the Son of man be.” Woman in the world has become very "beautiful"
(sooth to say she is rather sexy, i.e. provocative by her makeup and thinly
veiled nudity) and there are children of God who fall: they leave the daughters
of God born again into the kingdom of light and go to choose a Jezebel among
the daughters of men for wife. And they make pleas: "she also prays in such
church." Yet we have consistently shown by the scriptures that the most
fundamental characteristic of the seed of Cain is religiosity while rejecting
the counsel of God: homosexual but religious, girl in pants or tights but religious,
sexy but religious, etc.
To you young people, son of the
kingdom, who aspire to marriage, I say, look for the seed of God, truth and
perfection that comes from the new birth. The real beauty is hidden inside and
is the distinctive feature of daughters of God sanctified by the truth,
purified by the Lord's words they listen as they love the Lord and His coming.
A virtuous woman is a gift from the Lord (Proverbs
19:14) and the Spirit advises us to marry
only in the Lord (1Cor
7:39).
If there is a son of God who receives
this advice with hesitation or heaviness, I bid the same brother to enquire
from Ahab, son of Israel who spurned this advice and married Jezebel, the
Sidonian. This daughter of men did not know the God of Israel, and yet she was
a compulsive worshiper so that she filled the whole house of Ahab and all
Israel with her idols, and because of her Ahab experienced a very calamitous
end of his life - read the story of Ahab in the first book of Kings, from the
29th verse of the 16th chapter. But Jezebel was a
beautiful and sexy woman (Princess of Ethbaal, Sidonian king), and also a girl
very devoted to her church religious affairs; but which church? - One that
rejects the counsel of God. Also, we retain that even outside the daughters of
men are not, strictly speaking, more beautiful than our sisters, the daughters
of God, but simply sexier, i.e. more suggestive in their wanton style and obscene
clothing.
This mixing of both lines brought forth
giant heroes of antiquity, authors of brutality, violence and crime on the face
of the earth, and was the main cause of the flood that destroyed all that generation.
But God favoured Noah, whom he asked to build an ark.
However, as was found in the Garden of Eden planted by God Himself for His sons
and daughters the son of curse called Prince of Tyrus in Ezekiel 28:13,
and as was found in the immediate vicinity of Jesus of Nazareth the son of
curse in the person of Judas Iscariot, so also was found in Noah's ark a son of
curse in Ham’s kidneys. Lucifer in heaven was in close vicinity of God in his
capacity as covering Cherub, in the Garden of Eden the Prince of Tyrus (Ezekiel 28),
called serpent after his curse, was in the immediate vicinity of Adam as the most
evolved animal with a more elaborate language that allowed him to convince Eve,
in Noah's Ark Canaan was hidden in the kidneys of Cham, a direct son of Noah,
in the company of Jesus of Nazareth Judas was present, counted among His twelve
Apostles, etc.
This is showing that curse always
proceeds side by side with blessing, and that when the truth (God’s thought) is
proclaimed, deception (human thought) is always present in the vicinity, and
just a simple slide suffices to fall into it.
Children of God who seek perfection must watch with the greatest alarm to be
able to distinguish in any speech or preaching what is God's thought and what is
man’s thought. Curse is an asset to Satan, because he has curse nature, and wherever
curse is, the room is due to him. Thus, through Canaan, the son of Cush, Satan
was indeed well hidden in the ark and waited for the day the curse would be
actualized to start a new deployment and continue his plans to dominate and be
worshiped as God over all the earth, which we shall continue to explore in the
next epistles.
If
you feel blessed, share and pour out the same blessings!
