Earthly ministers put forth the false god of this world to lead the congregation astray. 

Ezekiel 44:12

“Because they ministered to them before their idols and caused the house of Israel to fall into iniquity, therefore I have raised My hand in an oath against them,” says the Lord God, “that they shall bear their iniquity.” Ezekiel 44:12

The idol, or false god, of this world is the entity that has power over physiology to give people what to think, feel, do, and say. This entity dominates the manmade churches everywhere, and wants to take control of the human body, which God created to be the temple of the Holy Spirit. This is the entity that opposes all religions, all that is called God, and all that is worshipped. This entity exalts itself above God and sits in the temple of God, our body, as if is God. This is the one “…who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.” 2 Thessalonians 2:4 Click here for a post on the “man of sin”.

The world government and its global culture assumes control over the leadership of the manmade churches through the entity giving people what to think, feel, do, and say. The objective of the false god of this world is to establish leadership in every sector of society, including the churches, in order to rule over people in every city across the globe. The ministers of the manmade churches are ministering to their congregation through the entity that influences what they say, do, feel, and think. They are using their influence for the purpose of directing people to welcome the atheistic entity that gives them their thoughts and feelings. This is the entity that enables the image of the beast to speak and live through them as they are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they are given to say and do. The global culture has risen up in churches in every city around the world.

God has raised His hand in an oath against the ministers in the churches, synagogues, etc. for hardening their spirit and conscience against Jesus Christ to live for this world’s false god.

The verse in Daniel 7:6 is a prophecy of the world government assuming control over the grassroots population by placing members of its global culture in places of authority directly over the people. Click here for the post on Daniel 7. These places include church leadership, managerial positions, social service agencies, apartment managers, schoolteachers, etc. Their purpose is to give positive reinforcement for all those who welcome the entity giving them what to think, feel, do, and say, and to give negative feedback and reprimands for those who do not. The authority at the grassroots level is maintaining the yard of the global culture.

‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’”
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
