animal sacrifices

[Jo Smith]

~ Animal Sacrifices ~

Today is Thursday, Dec. 16, 2004. This message will deal with many questions about the animal sacrifices of the OT. This subject is completely misunderstood. Almost everyone assumes that God ordained these animal sacrifices. But is this true? Did God every at ANY time accept the blood of animals? Was He ever at ANY time pleased with this matter of killing animals for sacrifice? Did God ever find any pleasure in these sacrifices? If not, then by whom, when and why were these types of sacrifices set up? These are questions which need Scriptural answers. So, in this message I will give the pure Scriptural truth on this matter. Let’s start with this:

Heb 10:1 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect. 10:2 For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins. 10:3 But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year. 10:4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.

Now the above shows that the law was only a shadow of the good things to come in the NT. You see here that the sacrifices of animals was offered by the law. It said this could never make the people perfect. If it had, they would never have had to kill another animal. I have heard many people say this animal offering covered the people’s sins for a year at a time or rolled them back. I cannot find that anywhere in the Scriptures. If any of you know of such a scripture, please show me where it is. Until someone shows me that in the Word, I am going to assume that this is a false concept, just as it is a false concept that God is the one who instituted animal sacrifices. See verse three shows that those sacrifices brought their sins into remembrance, not covered them up.

Heb 10:5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me: 10:6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure.

This is Jesus speaking. Jesus said that God never wanted those sacrifices and offerings. That is what ‘thou wouldest not�?means. Jesus said, In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin God had no pleasure in that. Now that is Jesus�?words. Do you believe him?

Heb 10:7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God. 10:8 Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;

Jesus said he is the one who did the will of God, not those animals. He repeats here for confirmation, that God had no pleasure in those sacrifices which are offered by the LAW.

Now did God ever want anyone to be under law? Everyone seems to be mistaken here also. They all seem to think that God himself put the people under law. But is this true? No, it is a lie. That law is the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Did God tell anyone to partake of that tree? No! He commanded Adam NOT to eat of that tree. God told Adam that the law would bring death. And so it did. Remember the above Scripture, that the animal sacrifices were offered by the LAW.

Heb 10:9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. 10:10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

Now he tells us that Jesus took away that first covenant of law, and established the second covenant of grace. By this second covenant we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ and this is one time forever. It perfect us and we never have a consciousness of sins again.

Heb 10:11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: 10:12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;

Again it says that those animal sacrifices could never take away sins. So why would God require this? The one offering of Jesus satisfied God and Jesus sat down at rest from his labour to give us birth.

Heb 10:17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. 10:18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.

See with the offering of Jesus our sins are never remembered again. This is the only time sins were ever remitted.

Isa 1:7 Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.

Who is God speaking to here?

Eze 28:2 Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God:

This is the anointed cherub [ox] in the Garden of Eden. He was lifted up in pride and said I am a God. I sit in the seat of God among men [in the midst of the seas]. But God said to him, You are just a man. So this anointed cherub was a MAN. He was not an angel. I will prove in another message that a cherub does not mean a literal angel. I will also prove that this Adam. But for now, just accept it. It is too much to try and place into one message. Tonight I am dealing with these animal sacrifices.

Almost everyone says this cherub, the Son of the morning, is a spirit being, Satan. But see here that God said this is just a MAN. Whom do you believe?

Eze 28:4 With thy wisdom and with thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures: 28:5 By thy great wisdom and by thy traffic hast thou increased thy riches, and thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches:

[This is the Rich Man, Adam]. His heart was lifted up in pride because of his riches. He came to Jesus and said worship me and I will set you up as king. So He thought he was king of the whole world. Why would he think that? Because he was the original son of God, whom God had given dominion of this earth. That is what it means he was the anointed cherub that coverth, and God set him so. It was God’s own Son. Who else would God give dominion of this earth to? A Son inherits his Father’s estate, not some other being.

Eze 28:6 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast set thine heart as the heart of God; 28:7 Behold, therefore I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations: and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy brightness. 28:8 They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shalt die the deaths of them that are slain in the midst of the seas.

Now who are these strangers who come against this evil kingdom of first-man Adam? The true Christians, God’s witnesses, are called the Strangers all through the Word. We are STRANGERS and pilgrims in this earth. Let the Word interpret this to you! This is speaking of the second witness, the one with the Baptism of Fire. Fire proceeds out of their mouth to devour their enemies, Adam. As in Adam all die. Death is the enemy. The law brought us to death. Adam partook of that law. He wanted to rule as God. He said I am God. He had told Eve God knows that we will be as gods. This proves it is what Adam wanted, to be God. Now it said they [the strangers] shall bring thee down to the pit. What is that?

Eze 28:9 Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee, I am God? but thou shalt be a man, and no God, in the hand of him that slayeth thee. 28:10 Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.

Here again we are told that this is just a man and not God. He shall die by the hand of these Strangers. Read Psm. 149.

Re 20:1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. 20:2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, 20:3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.

See here is where and how this rich man was brought down to the PIT. [verse 8]. Lets read Isa. 1:7 again:

Isa 1:7 Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.

See, this is speaking to this anointed cherub in Eze. 28. This whole earth was his country, for he had been given dominion over it. This was his anointing from God. But see that at some time it is prophesied that his cities will be burned with fire. This is that fire coming out of the mouth of the witnesses to devour our enemies. This evil kingdom of Satan, Adam, is our enemy. STRANGERS devour his country in his presence. Why is it desolate? Jesus pronounced it desolate. Since that time, the strangers have been set to destroy it with fire and bring him down to the pit.

Eze 28:12 Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.

I had not meant to go this route, but it is how God is leading so I always see it was great when God leads me into something I had not intended to write. This is great.

I heard a message just today where one says this anointed cherub was an angel, Satan. And in the same message he goes to the great wisdom of Adam because he named all the animals. So see that this is speaking of the same being, Adam, Lucifer, Satan, the old serpent, the devil. This chapter conclusively proves this is the same being. It is God’s Son turned bad.

See that here it speaks of his great wisdom? Yes, this is Adam. He was God’s Son so of course he was very wise. None other was like him. He was perfect in beauty. Why? Because he was the greatest of God’s creation. Now since I have gone this route, let’s just complete this chapter and show you the proof of this.

Eze 28:13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.

This being had been in Eden the garden of God. So who was it? It was God’s Son, Adam. This description is of the entire kingdom. Adam is a kingdom, just as God is a kingdom. Human is a kingdom. Satan is a kingdom. Many members, yet just one body. When will people grow up in understanding? God grant it soon.

Now look. His tabrets of pipes was prepared in him the day he was CREATED. What are tabrets of pipes? It is musical instruments. Now who made the first musical instruments? It was Adam’s son, Cain. See that this ability was created inside him? So it was also inside his son.

Eze 28:14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. 28:15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.

Adam was perfect in the day he was created, but he became lifted up in pride and wanted to be God. Iniquity was then found in him. This is typed out in Absalom and David as Absalom wanted to become king in place of David.

Remember the Word says Satan was a liar and a murder from the beginning. This speaks of from the beginning of his being evil and becoming the devil. I will show this to you and how he was a murder and a liar.

Eze 28:16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.

Merchandise has been the ‘trademark�?of Adam’s kingdom from the beginning. Cain [also part of this Satanic kingdom] went out and built the first city. Cain also killed his brother. Now remember that Rev. 18 speaks of the destruction of the mystery Babylon city of which Satan was the KING. It said she was a merchandizing city, right? It said she was guilty of all the blood shed on this earth from Abel down, did it not? Then this proves that the city of Adam, or his kingdom reaches all the way from the days of Adam until the ultimate destruction of his kingdom at the end of the world. How could anyone not see this? It is beyond my understand how one could be too blind to see something this clearly laid out. If you can’t see this, it is because you willfully close your own eyes.

He said I will CAST THEE as profane OUT of the mountain of God. So who was CAST out of Eden? Adam. Show me where anyone else was cast out. Please! If this does not identify this as Adam to you, you are deceiving your own heart.

Eze 28:17 Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.

People are so carnal minded they thing God changed some animal creature [the serpent] and made him into a literal reptile snake. Now that is the height of deception and carnality. They say when God placed him into the dust and said upon thy belly shall thy go, they think this means God placed the snake to crawl around on the ground on his belly. The Word of God is spiritual. This is total carnality. Dust is the earthly, material things. Belly means mortal beings. Casting him to the ground means God cast him out of Eden to till the ground from whence he was taken. God placed him into a dust, mortal body. Here again people are so into darkness they think it means God killed a lamb and put the lamb’s skin on them. Shew. Such carnality and ignorance of the Word. God placed them into this human, mortal skin right there. This is how he was placed into dust and made to go on his belly. Dust shall be the serpent’s meat. This means merchandizing. It means earthly, material, riches, and such things. It means the serpent would have no more spiritual things.

Now let another prophet further prove this.

Isa 14:1 For the LORD will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob.

Now this shows the day of Pentecost, when Jesus took of the twain, Jews and Gentiles [the strangers] and made them both into ONE NEW MAN. They will never be divided again. Yet every church believes they are divided and that God will yet turn back to the nation of old Israel. It is just lies. Here the strangers and the Jews were joined into one spiritual nation. It will never be divided again. Our own land, their own land, is grace, the Holy Ghost.

Isa 14:4 That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased! 14:5 The LORD hath broken the staff of the wicked, and the sceptre of the rulers. 14:6 He who smote the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted, and none hindereth.

Now I know this is a lot of Scripture, but it is the only way to clear this up. Since I have gone this route, I may as well do a good job of this. I certainly did not mean to go into this when I started this message. But unless you see through this that Adam is Satan, you will not truly understand when I show you who started the animal sacrifices. All of this is tied together.

Now see that the above Scripture shows we are speaking of the same being in Eze. 28, the king of Babylon? It is the same one. See it shows that his was the golden city. It was this entire earth kingdom. He ruled over this flesh kingdom. That is why we must deny our flesh and walk in the spirit to ever be free.

Revelation shows that Babylon was a total merchandizing city. Re 18:16 And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!

See here that it was decked with gold and precious stones as described in Eze. 28.

Isa 14:7 The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet: they break forth into singing. 14:8 Yea, the fir trees rejoice at thee, and the cedars of Lebanon, saying, Since thou art laid down, no feller is come up against us. 14:9 Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations. 14:10 All they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou also become weak as we? art thou become like unto us? 14:11 Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee.

Isa 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! 14:13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: 14:14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. 14:15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.

Now this is speaking of that being, Lucifer, in the Garden of Eden. This proves it. He said I will exalt my throne above the satrs of God. I will be like the most High. Now where did he acquire a ‘throne�?from? It was when God gave His Son dominion over this earth. I hear people all the time saying that Adam handed it over to Satan. Where is even one Scripture teaching this? I know of none. This is exactly why so much false doctrine infiltrates the whole earth and almost no one knows the real truth. People, ministers, just make up stuff and fail to study and just accept lies someone else has made up. They teach it and drill it into people so much that they all think it has to be true.

See here it bears witness that this one will be brought into the pit, same as Rev. and Eze. said. This is our three witnesses of this matter.

Isa 14:16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; 14:17 That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners? 14:18 All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house. 14:19 But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet.

Notice verse 16 again declares that this is just a MAN, not an angel. They now see him as the weak man that he really was all the time!

Isa 14:24 The LORD of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand: Isa 14:25 That I will break the Assyrian in my land, and upon my mountains tread him under foot: then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulders.

Eze 31:3 Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon with fair branches, and with a shadowing shroud, and of an high stature; and his top was among the thick boughs.

See here it shows that this ‘Assyrian�?is speaking of Adam. He is the one who was lifted up in pride in that Garden.

Eze 31:4 The waters made him great, the deep set him up on high with her rivers running round about his plants, and sent out her little rivers unto all the trees of the field. 31:5 Therefore his height was exalted above all the trees of the field, and his boughs were multiplied, and his branches became long because of the multitude of waters, when he shot forth. 31:6 All the fowls of heaven made their nests in his boughs, and under his branches did all the beasts of the field bring forth their young, and under his shadow dwelt all great nations.

Eze 31:7 Thus was he fair in his greatness, in the length of his branches: for his root was by great waters. 31:8 The cedars in the garden of God could not hide him: the fir trees were not like his boughs, and the chestnut trees were not like his branches; nor any tree in the garden of God was like unto him in his beauty. 31:9 I have made him fair by the multitude of his branches: so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied him.

[cont.]

[Jo Smith]

Eze 31:10 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast lifted up thyself in height, and he hath shot up his top among the thick boughs, and his heart is lifted up in his height; 31:11 I have therefore delivered him into the hand of the mighty one of the heathen; he shall surely deal with him:
I have driven him out for his wickedness.

Here again is reference to God driving Adam out of that Garden of Eden.
Eze 31:12 And strangers, the terrible of the nations, have cut him off, and have left him: upon the mountains and in all the valleys his branches are fallen, and his boughs are broken by all the rivers of the land; and all the people of the earth are gone down from his shadow, and have left him.
And there is another reference to the Strangers, the Christians, cutting him off and destroying him. This is too clear for you to miss this.

Now all of that stemmed from our verse in Isa. 1:7, that his land was desolate and stranger devoured it. I set out to prove to you that the land was Adam’s dominion, this entire earth. Jesus said the righteous will inherit this earth. That is the strangers. We will inherit this earth and destroy Adam’s evil dominion out of it. But for now, first-man Adam is STILL ruling here on earth. He is still destroying his own land and his own sanctuaries.
He is still teaching lies and blaming Eve for his sins and claiming he is the good one and she is the evil one. He has people believing that because she was deceived, she was lost. No. It is right the opposite. God did not say if one is deceived they cannot come and be saved. He said if one WILLFULLY, knowingly, sins, they cannot be saved. Adam is the one who knowingly and willfully sinned and rebelled against God. Adam is the one who was lost, whose sins remained and were held against him forever. Adam is king over Babylon and the one to be cast down to hell.

Isa 1:11 To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.
Here God asks this evil city, what is your purpose for offering me these multitude of sacrifices? He said I am full, or fed up with this stuff. Now go back to our Scripture in Heb. 10. God said I delight NOT in the blood of animals. Is this not the same thing? Sure it is.
Isa 1:12 When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?
Here God asks them who told you to do this? Who required these animal sacrifices of you to tread my court?. Who told you this is the way to me?

Isa 1:13 Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting. 1:14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them. 1:15 And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.

Now here God goes into each phase of the OT Law way of worship. He said all this stuff is an abomination unto me. What? Oblations. They are vain. Did not the OT Priests continually offer these oblations? Sure they did. Why? God said he hated them. It is rebellion to God.
Incense is an abomination unto me. Did not they also continually offer this incense? Sure they did. God hated it. New moons and sabbaths, calling assemblies, God called iniquity. You were perfect until iniquity was found in you. Adam wanted worship. Sure He did. He said I will be God. I am God. I sit in the seat of God among men [ the midst of the seas.] Adam set up sanctuaries in which to have himself worshipped as God. This is solid proof of this. Watch this whole matter clear up right here. Open your blinded eyes or God will remove your candle stick quickly. [This is the third God has moved on me to write this prophecy to you.]

Appointed feasts? A set time for worship. God said my soul hates this stuff. He said I am weary to bear this stuff. Therefore when you pray I will not hear you. Your hands are full of blood. Full of blood? How? All those animal sacrificed in worship to Adam, their god. The God of this world. Adam, God’s rebellious SON. This is Absalom stealing the hearts of Israel away from David. Remember that Absalom was so beautiful, not a flaw in him? Sure, it represents Adam’s beauty!

Jesus said when we see HIM there is not BEAUTY that we should desire him. No glorification! Not until the resurrection. Adam had it first. He had glorification, the image of God to begin with. This is how he led the angels to rebel again his Father. This is how he won the kingdom away from his Father. This is how he instituted worship to himself and set himself up as God. This secret has been hid all these ages. But now God has revealed it to some lowly handmaiden who happens to LOVE HIS HOLY WORD. It is now after midnight. I love this Word too much to quit this wonderful message and go to bed. Let me wear out for God, the true God that is.

I can’t help it, I just have to put all of this into this message. This is too good to cut it short. If you do not care enough for truth to study all of this, then go watch your TV, keep your idol worship holidays, and end up in hell. But if there be one child of God who desires truth, here it is:

Isa 1:16 Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil; 1:17 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow. 1:18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. 1:19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land: 1:20 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.

I prayed before writing this message that God would put his truth into my mind. He has done it. I will not cut this short.
Verse 16 is speaking of the call into the New Covenant, sanctified by the blood of Jesus, the only sacrifice God has ever called for or accepted. Wash you...there is only one way to do this...water baptism in the Name of Jesus Christ. Put away evil...repentance. Quit robbing the poor to build your hewn stone sanctuaries. Help the fatherless and widows. NT way of life. Your sins may now become white as snow; was never possible in the OT. If you are willing and obedient to this call to come into the NT you will be saved, but if not, then my sword will devour you.

Isa 1:21 How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.
The faithful city which became an harlot is Adam’s reign. It is Adam’s dominion of this entire earth. In the beginning it was righteous until Adam became lifted up in pride and wanted to be God. Now his city is full of murderers. How? All those animals they killed in worship to Adam. Not only that, but it brought about murdering people. I will prove to you that killing those animals was the same to God as killing a man. God said so, not me. If you break one law, you are guilty of it all. If you cut off part of your hair, you have shaved your head. It is all with God or nothing. It is 100% or nothing. 10% will not do. That is Adam’s way. Keep back 90% for yourself. Yes. I have actually heard preachers say Oh God did not ask much of us....only 10%......we keep back 90% for ourselves. Selfish! It is of Adam. He was greedy and lustful of riches.

Isa 1:22 Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water: 1:23 Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them.
God is certainly leading me in this message. I surely had no intentions of using all of this, but God is right now opening all of this up to me. If I am the only person who ever reads this, I will glory in it. I will feed off it. I will trill to this revelation!

Adam started out in grace. He had immortality to begin with. His silver [God’s pure things] became mixed up with law. His princes [his ministers] are rebellious, they are companions of thieves. Who are they robbing? The Poor. They rob the poor to build their hewn temples to worship their idol, Adam in. He can be named Jack, John, Bill, Sam, Paul, Santa Clause, or anyone else. But it is still Adam. (Now I did not point out any particular person here; just made up names to show you a point.)

When a minister takes from the poor to build up a building, he is one of these rebellious Adams. They do not help the widows and the NT commands us to do. Satan’s ministers will drive to poor widows homes to collect those tithes. This is of Adam, or Satan. Ten percent is OT stuff, therefore of Adam. That entire old covenant was the Adam covenant. It is the law covenant. Adam is the one who took it to law. I will prove it. See the Scripture above said that his princes love gifts. That is the church preachers. They love those gifts. Yes, they say, give to God [themselves] and God will give to you. Liars they are! Freely you have received, freely give.

This is Jesus’ way. You are into Adam’s way. Which Son of God do you worship? It all depends upon which method you go by. OT or NT? If you collect tithes it is OT. If you build man-made temples and set one man up to be adored, it OT Adam worship. If you take from the widows and fatherless instead of helping them, you are Adam. If you love gifts because you minister, you are Adam, OT, worshipping Adam, your idol. If you keep holidays, you are Adam. He started all those holidays as worship to himself. God has told me all of this. Call it lies if you dare.
Isa 1:24 Therefore saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies:
Who are God’s adversaries? His sons, the Adams.

Isa 1:25 And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin: I1:26 And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city. 1:27 Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness.
The above is speaking of the NT. It is the kingdom of Jesus restoring what Adam ate away.
Isa 1:28 And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the LORD shall be consumed.

That is the destruction of Adam’s kingdom by the Strangers. [In Adam all die.] [In Christ all shall be made alive.] Both covenants, law and grace, are represented as trees. Both trees are in the same Garden, the Word of God. You may ‘eat’ of either tree in the Word. It all depends upon which one you ‘hear’ when you read the Word. If you go to any of those things such as Sabbath Keeping, tithing, man-made temples for worship, telling the daughters of God they must be silent, be ruled over, and not able to teach or preach, then you are under Adam, Law.

It is the Old, dead covenant. Adam was and is that first head of mankind. He was that gold head or the lion head. That gold is what he coveted and became known for. That is exactly why the ten tribe nation of Israel made themselves golden calves to worship. That cherub is also called the calf on the four-headed living creature. Eze. 1 and 10. That is why Aaron made them another golden calf to worship. It was the image of Adam. That is why Neb. made another golden image. He was representing this first head of Adam. Here again is worship to Adam instituted. This is why the true children of God refused to bow to this image of Adam.

Isa 1:29 For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen. 1:30 For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water. 1:31 And the strong shall be as tow, and the maker of it as a spark, and they shall both burn together, and none shall quench them.

Those oaks were the trees in the Garden of Eden. This was the Adam kingdom there. Their leaf fadeth as a garden that hath no water. This means they have no river of life, no truth. No Baptism in the Name of Jesus Christ to get their sins remitted.
Then it speaks of the final destruction of this sinful kingdom by the fire of God coming out of the mouth of the witnesses of God. They are the Strangers to destroy this sinful Adam kingdom. Then his lies will be exposed to everyone.

I proved at the beginning of this message, in Heb. 10, that the law is what requires the animal sacrifices. They were offered by the law. Now Paul plainly taught that by the law is the KNOWLEDGE OF SIN or evil. It also teaches us good. So the law is the tree of the knowledge of Good and evil. Both law and grace are in the Word of God. No matter how many of Adam’s ministers scream and hollow that sex or some other off the wall stuff was that tree, there is not one verse of Scripture to say what they say. Not one. Yet they persist in teaching these lies. It is old Adam at work. Go by the Written Word or you will be lost. It matters not if some ‘prophet’ raised ten million dead folks, if he taught these lies, he is of the sinful Adam kingdom. You better forget those fake miracles and get into the truth of God’s Book, or you will end up in hell fire with your false prophets. All liars will have their part in the lake of fire. Teaching lies is this matter of liars. It is worse than your personal lies. They are both wrong, but teaching lies of the Word is far worse.

Now we know that Adam and Eve ate of this forbidden tree. What did they do? They went into law and all its evils. All those things we listed in Isa. one, which God said he hated came out of that law. Why would God tell them to do what He hates? He did no such thing! Adam did this to receive worship. He wanted to be god. That is what he was tempted with. Now in order to be a god, he had to receive worship. This is how he receives worship, the OT way or law. Remember he is so greedy for worship, that he tried to get Jesus to bow down and worship him. He even tried to bribe Jesus with the promise to be made a king.
God is a God of mercy. He loves judgment. He loves mercy. Under that law is no mercy, so why would God tell anyone to be under law? He did no such thing. Everyone who ever went under law was in direct rebellion to God. Adam started this rebellion. It continues right down to this day. Even after Jesus died and brought us into Grace, most people went right back to that law. Why? They love rebellion, fleshly things, idol worship. Holidays. Fun things. Worship the flesh, old Adam. Self.

The churches are Satan’s throne. His seat is right in there. The ministers love the preeminence. They love to be looked up to and paid. Thus they love worship. They are your god. They are old Adam at work. This is why they will not come into truth, for they love to be worshipped as your leader. They must make a show. The ones who do not run the aisles screaming, must stand just so and speak so proper. Either way, it is old Adam nature at work, seeking admiration, which is worship.

When you sit and watch them, think on them, and have not your mind on God, you are worshipping that man. Jesus sent his church out into the world to reach the lost and preach to them. But old Adam says no. They must come to us. They must come into our little hewn building. It is rebellion to God. He has you so blinded that no one can see this truth. Church, same as old law, has you all blinded. You think this is God’s way, but it is not. It is Adam’s way.

Ge 3:1 Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? 3:2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: 3:3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. 3:4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: 3:5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
The serpent was MORE subtle than ANY beast of the field. He was not a beast. Now I know ministers who teach that God turned this serpent, an animal, into a literal snake. If so, then that would have been the end of that kind of creature, right?

Then if this be so, why did Jesus call the Pharisees of his day, SERPENTS? He acknowledged that they were the natural children of Abraham. So how then were they serpents? Somebody answer this to me. If they were the seed of Abraham, and that one and only serpent was turned into a snake, how then are serpents down in Jesus day, coming from Abraham? See it could never be true.

They also claim that Eve committed adultery with this animal. God never said any such thing in his word. If you think so, give me that verse. Until you can find a verse saying this lie, you better shut up. You are teaching rebellion to the truth. They claim that Eve was the bad one and Adam the good one. Then answer this: why did God bring his pure Son into the earth by a woman and leave out the man? If her seed was the serpents seed, how is it that it was HER seed which would ultimately bruise the head of the serpent? How is it that her seed was Jesus Christ?

In the beginning Adam did not rule over Eve. This is law. The law commands her to be a servant and silent. I fully believe this was one of the main reasons Adam took her into law, so he could rule over her. He wanted so much to lifted up and be God. He was made to rule over her after she partook of the law. Now she is in bondage. The law is bondage. Acts 15.

Isa 65:2 I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, which walketh in a way that was not good, after their own thoughts;
God makes it clear here that this rebellious people, Adam’s race, are walking after their OWN THOUGHTS, not his Thoughts.

Isa 65:3 A people that provoketh me to anger continually to my face; that sacrificeth in gardens, and burneth incense upon altars of brick; This rebellious Adam race provokes God to anger continually to his face. How? By sacrificing in gardens and burning incense upon altars of brick. God said if they build an altar of stone and lift up their own tool upon it, they pollute it. Adam made an altar of hewn stone and it was thus polluted. He is after having his own way. He is after receiving worship for himself as God. God gets no pleasure of altars of stone or hewn buildings. This is why man-made temples are an abomination to God. He wants only worship in Spirit and in truth, not man-made hewn buildings. This is taught all through the Word. You may think Solomon’s temple proves different. Not so. God protested to David that He did not want this thing when David first mentioned it. But God again let man have his own way and his own thoughts. God never at any time set up such a lavish building. He gets no pleasure from such things. He wants an humble heart. That is all God is interested in. He hates pride. He will look to a man with an humble and contrite heart. God is not a God of stone. Adam is. Adam loves buildings. What were they sacrificing in the gardens? Animals. It was OT worship to Adam.

Isa 65:4 Which remain among the graves, and lodge in the monuments, which eat swine's flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels; 65:5 Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than thou.
Here it shows they were eating swine’s flesh and other abominable things. They had the attitude that I am holier than anyone else. It is prevalent all through the church world today. Each group thinks they are holier than another group. It stinks! But see that Adam and Eve killed [murdered] a pig and offered it in sacrifice as worship to Adam. I fully believe Adam had made Eve his priest to do this sacrifice. This is how he became as a god, to be worshipped. Now don’t go saying this is not true! How else was he going to become a god? This is exactly what he was tempted with.....for God doth know that we shall be as gods. God said, NOW the man is become as ONE OF US. How? He had become worshipped as a god! How could you miss this? People, that is God’s own words. Now the man is become as ONE OF US. One of the God family, to be worshipped as a god.

These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the day. Isa 65:6 Behold, it is written before me: I will not keep silence, but will recompense, even recompense into their bosom, 65:7 Your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, saith the LORD, which have burned incense upon the mountains, and blasphemed me upon the hills: therefore will I measure their former work into their bosom.

Here God said your iniquities, AND the iniquities of your FATHERS, have burned incense upon the mountains. See the OT way of worship = burning incense, which God said he hated. But look, he said I will measure their FORMER work into their bosom. Former? This refers back before the flood, to Adam. This proves it was what Adam did to become a god. He set up animal sacrifices and burning incense. He set up altars of stone, which God despised. Oh you think that because it is mentioned all through the OT, that it was of God? NO, it was the OT which God hated. [not the Scripture, but that old Law covenant]. God only let them continue to have their own way. It was their own thoughts. They loved Adam’s idol worship.

Isa 65:11 But ye are they that forsake the LORD, that forget my holy mountain, that prepare a table for that troop, and that furnish the drink offering unto that number. 65:12 Therefore will I number you to the sword, and ye shall all bow down to the slaughter: because when I called, ye did not answer; when I spake, ye did not hear; but did evil before mine eyes, and did choose that wherein I delighted not.

These people forsook God’s true mountain and prepared a table [eating that swine’s flesh] to that troop [Adam’s company]. And they furnished drink offerings in worship to their God, Adam. This is why drink offerings were so prevalent during the OT times. It is not found in the NT covenant. Then God says that he will number all of those who worship this way to the sword. He said because they chose that in which He delights not.
Now what was that? We proved at the beginning of this message, in Heb. 10, that God said He never had any delight or pleasure in those animal sacrifices. So this is what they chose. The rest of this chapter speaks of the bringing in of the Christians under Jesus. He shows the blessing of us and the cursing of those who cling to OT type worship, for it is in honour to Adam, the god of this wicked world.
Notice God said when I called none did answer. He is speaking of when he called Adam in that Garden, and they hid from God and did not answer. This whole thing started right back there, in the former times.

Isa 66:1 Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest?

Notice here that God is objecting to them for thinking they can build a house for him to dwell in. This is one of God’s main grievances against Adam; man. He said where is the place of my rest? You cannot make a place for God to dwell in and rest in. He needs no such things. You belittle God to say you made a house and it is the house of God.
Isa 66:2 For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the LORD: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.

Here he told why; He said I made all things, but I will look to a man who is poor and of a contrite spirit and trembleth at my Word. Now that is how we please and worship the true and living God. It is the only acceptable way.

Isa 66:3 He that killeth an ox is as if he slew a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, as if he cut off a dog's neck; he that offereth an oblation, as if he offered swine's blood; he that burneth incense, as if he blessed an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations.

Now I told you I will prove that Satan, Adam, was a murder from the beginning. Here it is. He that killeth an ox is as if he slew a man. He that sacrificeth a lamb, is as if he cut off a dog’s neck. This proves God never at any time accepted animal sacrifices. It was the same to Him as if they killed a man or offered to God a dog. So then, if God feels this way about sacrificing lambs, why would he command any man to do such a thing? He never did this thing. Adam did. Adam started all this killing of animals so he could receive worship and be god. The reason Adam had to go to these material things for his worship is because God had ‘grounded’ him to the ground. God had said dust shall be the serpent’s ‘meat’. Adam had to go to man-made buildings, altars, killing animals for He was forbidden the spiritual things.

This is the very reason most churches today are into rituals, dead, solemn, cold, formal rituals with fancy trimmings. They are into Adam worship. It is natural, carnal, dust. This is all which is permitted to Adam. Adam is not worshipped in spirit and truth. This is reserved for the true and living God, which made heaven and earth. God said if you offer an oblation, it is as if he offered swine’s blood. So all those OT priests offering those oblations were offering swine’s blood to God. Those who burned incense were blessing an idol. That idol was Adam as god. Your pastor is also in this position. He is your god. Again he repeats that this is their own way. They chose this their own way. It was not ever God’s way. If the blood of animals never pleased God and could never take away sins, then why would God command them to do it? He did no such thing. The only sacrifice He ever accepted was the death of Jesus Christ. The only sacrifice he ever accepted from any man was to present our bodies a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God. This was Abel’s sacrifice. It is the NT way of worship.

Abel did not kill any animal. This is another lie of Adam. Cain is the one who killed and offered the blood of an animal. It is the abomination to God. See Satan’s ministers have everything backwards. They did not love the Word enough to study it until they found the answers. They just make up stuff. They do not have the anointing teaching them. If they did, they would come out of their delusions and find truth. Truth is always WRITTEN IN THE WORD. See that God said they delight in their abominations. God said whatsoever is highly esteemed among men is an abomination to God. All holidays, especially X-mess, is highly esteemed to men. They delight in this their abomination. They are worshipping old Adam. Man.

Isa 66:4 I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not.

Here God said because they chose this their own way, which was an abomination to Him, that He will choose their delusions. and he will bring their fears upon them. When He called, Adam did not answer. When he calls you now, you do not answer. But you go right on choosing your own way, that in which God hates. You delight in your abominations. You delight in your man-made temples and stone altars. You delight in your sabbaths, your set appointed feasts and your green tree worship. Your delusions will destroy your soul. You are worshipping the god of this evil age, Adam. It is the same idol God which has always been. You are still telling the same old lies against Eve which the first Adam told. You are his seed. You are of your father, the devil, Adam. That is why you cannot and will not see this truth. You reject the true knowledge of God. God will reject you.

Adam made the claim I am God. I sit in the seat of God. Know what? He made up a lie on the other Son of God, Jesus, and tells the world that Jesus claims to be God. He wants to blame Jesus of the same sin he does. It is just not true. Jesus never at any time claimed to be God or coveted that place. This is precisely why God did set Jesus on the throne of God after his resurrection into eternal life, in the image of God. All of you who claim Jesus was God in flesh are just advancing this lie of Adam. You do as Adam, just say anything, instead of proving it by the written Word of God. You accept junk doctrines of devils because of fake prophets. You know most of what you teach is NOT written. Jesus always went by IT IS WRITTEN. Adam changes the Word; adds to it; takes away from it.

When ministers quote PARTS of verses, and always leave out the rest of the verse, this is old Adam at work, changing God’s written Word. This brought death in the Garden of Eden. Lets examine this thing of ‘dust shall be the serpents meat’ a little further. A stupid carnal lie that God changed some animal creature, which resembled a man, and had relationship with Eve, into a snake crawling around on the ground on his belly, has kept most people from ever seeking the true meaning of this. So what is this ‘dust’? All earthly things came from DUST. Dust represents earthly, material goods. Merchandize. Look at the contrast between Jesus, his true disciples and the serpents of the world, the OT law keepers. Even the disciples were still under this delusion of ‘dust’ for ‘meat’ until Jesus set them straight.

They said unto Jesus, Look at all these great and magnificent buildings here! See they were into man-made temples and luxury. But what did Jesus show was his true feelings about these things? He said I say unto you, that not one stone shall be left upon another. In other words, God is going to tear down all man-made structures for temples. God is tearing down this Adamic form of worship. God despises these hewn stone buildings. It is idols. Adam is their god of the temples. Now look at how the people of the world dote on material, monetary things. Look at the fabulous church buildings of today! Are they of God? Certainly not. This is the portion God gave to Adam, the serpent = dust. Look at how the ministers all love to drive around in the most expensive cars, wear fancy suits to be looked up to. Look at how they just keep building greater and greater buildings to show off with! They fake it as a work for God....but the question is which god requires or delights in these things? It has to be the god of this evil age, Satan, Adam.
You say but Adam is dead. Is he? No, every carnal person is Adam. Every one except the few who find the straight, narrow way Jesus shows leads to eternal life, are Adam. Jesus said take up your cross and follow me into not having a place to lay my head! Who wants to follow? Peter finally got it and said, Lord we have left all to follow you. The early Christians who had more than one home or piece of land, sold it and distributed it among the saints as they had need. They had all things common. Want to follow Jesus?
The Christians wondered about destitute and without goods. They suffered their goods to be taken away and did not try to get them back. They suffered themselves to be defrauded. They went right the opposite direction from the Adams of the world, coveting material things. Paul said do not wear costly array or pearls or gold. Look at the ancient Israelites all decked out with fine gold and jewelry. They were wearing enough gold on themselves to make that golden calf! They were following and worshipping Adam.
Now you may think God forced the law on them, because He gave the law to Moses. But no. I proved in my message, Two nations in one, that both law and grace were written on those stones. They were written on BOTH sides. Both covenants were in the Word. They have always been there for everyone to choose which one they will live by. Those Israelites chose law because of their love for idols and fancy, material things. They had Adam’s spirit. They had the covering which was not sufficient. Adam was that anointed Cherub which covereth and God set him so. But now Jesus is the other covering. This is sufficient, but you must deny yourself, leave the world, and go into true worship in Spirit and truth to follow Jesus. You must love your neighbor as yourself. You cannot desire fame for yourself. You cannot desire to rule over anyone. That is law. That is Adam. That is the dust. All churches today are into this dust.

Man was upright until they sought out many inventions. This is the dust. Their TVs mean more to them than God. They can’t wait to get out of their ‘church’ to get home and watch their programs. It is the dust. Look at the large hospitals. Look at the large doctors and lawyers building and practices. They are the dust Adam was given. This is why doctors have taken the place of healing by faith and prayer. It is the dust meat of Adam. Where do the church people run to when they are sick? To prayer or to the doctors? You know as well as I do.

It is the dust is the serpents meat, or portion. Jesus said I have ‘meat’ to eat which you know not about. He meant the spiritual things which God gave him. This was his portion or meat. Moses said God was his portion. God is my portion. I have prayed this many times. Let me serve Him in truth and in Spirit and humbleness of heart, not desiring the dust things of this world. This is the serpents meat. Which do you covet? Repent or He will come unto you quickly and remove your candlestick. This is the fourth time God has moved on me to write this same prophecy. Only God knows why.
