~ No Answer from God ~
Micah 3:1. And I said, Hear, I pray you, O heads of Jacob, and ye princes of the house of Israel; is it not for you to know judgment?
2. 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; and they break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron.
4. Then shall they cry unto the Lord, but he will not hear them: he will even hide his face from them at that time, as they have behaved themselves ill in their doings.
5. Thus saith the Lord concerning the prophets that make my people err, that bite with their teeth, and cry, Peace; and he that putteth not into their mouths, they even prepare war against him.
6. Therefore night shall be unto you, that ye shall not have a vision; and it shall be dark unto you, that ye shall not divine; and the sun shall go down over the prophets, and the day shall be dark over them.
This verse shows that God closed off the OT. Prophets at some point in time. He said the sun shall go down over them, the day shall be dark over them; this means they were cut off from God. God was now refusing to use them anymore - ever.
7. Then shall the seers be ashamed, and the diviners confounded: yea, they shall all cover their lips; for there is no answer of God.
The seers and diviners were the OT. prophets. This is the people who taught the OT. way of life, the ones the people had to look to for anything from God. Yet now God is not answering them ever anymore. So when is this fulfilled? This is a very important thing for you to find the answer to. Your salvation depends upon the truth of this.
8. But truly 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.
Now who is this speaking in this verse 8? Who was full of power by the spirit of the Lord, and of judgment etc? It none other than the Lord Jesus, of course.
And if you think it was anyone else, you deny the whole of God's Word.
9. Hear this, I pray you, ye heads of the house of Jacob, and princes of the house of Israel, that abhor judgment, and pervert all equity.
10. They build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity.
11. The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money: yet will they lean upon the Lord, and say, Is not the Lord among us? none evil can come upon us.
They judge for reward and teach for hire = (get paid to do so)- and divine for money- this is the MARK OF THE BEAST --DOING THE WORK OF GOD FOR MONEY. Buying and selling. Yet the claim God is with them.
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.
Now is this study we find a group of people who once had the power and place with God of leading the whole nation of Israel. They are now being placed into darkness forever. Notice this statement: THERE IS NO ANSWER OF GOD. God will not answer them anymore forever -- but when was the time? It fully shows it was when Jesus came on this earth. HE said but I am full of power -- this was Jesus speaking. In these last days God speaks to us by his Son. All other are fakes and imposters. There are no prophets since John the Baptist giving us the Word of God. There are no OT. law people giving us any life from God.
THERE IS NO ANSWER OF GOD TO THEM.
Now we have been steadily asking the Sabbath Keepers here to tell us how they keep this day which they claim we must all keep to be saved. They claim all others are in the Mark of the Beast. But know what? There is no answer of God to them. They have nothing to tell us. They cannot answer this question. I ask, WHY?
It is because God has put that whole OT. Covenant into darkness and shut them off forever. What is that OT. Covenant? God said it was the 10 commandments. It is everything which goes with that way of life and worship = the law- the prophets- the seers- the 10 commandments- the Sabbaths of the OT - indeed the whole thing- is in darkness -
There is NO ANSWER OF GOD TO THEM ANYMORE.
No answer of God? Too bad. He said be INSTANT IN SEASON; OUT OF SEASON.
So let's seek an answer from God.
Matt. 13: 24. Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:
25. But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
26. But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
27. 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?
28. He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
29. But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
30. 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.
Now in the beginning we find there were two trees. Trees represent kingdoms. So there were and are two kingdoms. One is the kingdom of Satan. The other is the kingdom of Jesus. One is the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The other is the tree of life.
Tares and wheat -- two seeds growing in the field = the world = our heart or mind.
Two kingdoms or trees growing together until the end of the world.
One is Satan's tree - the other is the Words of Jesus.
So if God rejected a thing, did away with it, it is proof that it could not be the tree of Life. At the end of the world one of those trees is going to be cast into the lake of fire. It could not be something God kept. It has to be something God has rejected forever. If God puts a thing away, it is put away forever.
God rejected that old Law of Moses. He said in Heb. it waxed old and decayed; so it vanished away. This means, that even though it may have been written by the finger of God, it is the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and is therefore rejected and cast into hell. Jesus carried it into hell with himself and left it there. It (that head) was wounded with the sword.
BUT HERE IS THE PROBLEM - IT WAS REVIVED.
31. Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:
32. Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.
This tiny seed is the Word of Jesus. As it is planted into our hearts, it grows up into the statue of the perfect man, Christ Jesus = the Tree of Life.
33. Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
34. All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:
35. That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.
36. 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.
37. He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;
Now don't you see that the good seed (word, tree, kingdom) was sown by Jesus? Not Moses? So how could it be the law? The law came by Moses; but Grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. So this Grace and truth is that tree of life. The one God kept eternally. The other, law by Moses, is that rejected tree. It is done away with; therefore, there can be no life by it. It is the kingdom of Satan.
38. The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;
39. The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
40. As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
41. 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;
42. And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
43. Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Can you 'hear' the Word of God? Can you 'hear' it?
If God did away with a thing, it is the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. It is the kingdom of Satan. Satan was a son of God. He had a kingdom. His kingdom shall perish.
Which one are you in? Is it law or grace? One is the tree of the knowledge of good and evil; the other is the Tree of Life.
There were only two trees. There were only two kingdoms. There were only two covenants. One was rejected and cast away into hell. The other will last eternally.
Which one are you in?
11. The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money: yet will they lean upon the Lord, and say, Is not the Lord among us? none evil can come upon us. They judge for reward and teach for hire = (get paid to do so)- and divine for money- this is the MARK OF THE BEAST --DOING THE WORK OF GOD FOR MONEY. Buying and selling. Yet the claim God is with them
The heads judge for reward: what is this to us today? I say it means the heads of the whole church are these judges who are doing things only for reward. See, the church today is in the very same place that old Jerusalem was in then. They are under the very same conditions spiritually. The very same words which pertained to them then, pertains to the Zion of God, the church today.
Once again God is going to cut off a thing which is decayed and evil. The church is in the luke-warm, blind condition of the Laodecians. They are the whore against God today, just as Israel was then. So the same condition prevails and will receive the same punishment.
The priests teach for hire: See, all the churches today PAY preachers to 'teach?" (ha) them. Yes, if you pay someone for teaching or 'preaching' then it is the mark of the beast; he is a hireling. It is the same condition which prevailed in old Jerusalem at that time. And I have news for you; God hates it just as much now as then; probably more; for now they had the light of Jesus and turned willfully back into the darkness of doing things of God for MONEY.
The prophets divine for MONEY. See? It is positive the truth. Doing these spiritual (?) things for MONEY IS EVIL. It is the mark of the beast. God will destroy you for this.
You modern churches are on your way to destruction.
This message is more proof that the old covenant of law is the problem. This is an older message. So God gave this truth way back.
Now the Seventh Day Adventist will be very grieved when their precious 'ten commandments' are empowered again.
Then...they will not use Saturday as a day of fun and enjoyment as many of them do today. They will stay inside their homes OR BE STONED TO DEATH.
If they so much as pick up a stick, they will be stoned to death.
NOW THAT IS THE POWER OF THIS LAW WHEN IT IS CROWNED; WHEN IT IS IN POWER. STILL THINK YOU WANT LAW?
Travel a tiny piece, and be stoned to death. Cook your food, buy, or sell on that day, and death awaits you. It was not fun then; it will not be fun now. You 'THINK' you want Sabbath keeping? Just be placed under it for real, truly under law and you will scream for Grace to be given you again!
All of you will be buried the first week. [all of us will be].
Thank God for His Grace. But there may be a day when we must die again to cling to grace.
