The ministers of the churches have erred, have deviated from the way, err in vision, and stumble in judgment.

Isaiah 28:7-8

“But they also have erred through wine, and through intoxicating drink are out of the way; The priest and the prophet have erred through intoxicating drink, they are swallowed up by wine, they are out of the way through intoxicating drink; They err in vision, they stumble in judgment. For all tables are full of vomit and filth; No place is clean.” Isaiah 28:7-8

Those verses are referring to the global falling away from belief in God the Creator, from recognizing the need for Jesus Christ, and from welcoming the Holy Spirit to be part of who they are. The global falling away is described in the post of 2 Thessalonians 2. The manmade churches of today have abandoned the message of the Cross in order to partner with the community agenda. Together, they embrace the beast that governs by giving people what to speak, do, think, and feel. Their tables are filled with vomit and filth in that they serve the creature instead of God the Creator, “…who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.” Romans 1:25

In the Spirit of God, “intoxicating drink” is to be cloudy minded and under the influence of something that causes a person to stagger in belief in God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, as quoted, “And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” 2 Thessalonians 2:11-12 “I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus.” Revelations 17:6

Because of the corruption of the churches, the Seven Seals are opened, which is described in the post on Revelations 4. Our Lord Jesus Christ opens the Seven Seals as described in Revelations 5. The Seven Seals have already began opening, as described in Revelations 6.

The Spirit of the Lord has much to say about the corruption of the Church, as quoted below;

Concerning the congregation of the Fallen Churches.

• “Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron…” 1 Timothy 4:1-2
• “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.” 2 Timothy 4:3-5
• “…and they speak to one another, everyone saying to his brother, ‘Please come and hear what the word is that comes from the Lord.’ So they come to you as people do, they sit before you as My people, and they hear your words, but they do not do them; for with their mouth they show much love, but their hearts pursue their own gain. Indeed you are to them as a very lovely song of one who has a pleasant voice and can play well on an instrument; for they hear your words, but they do not do them. And when this comes to pass—surely it will come—then they will know that a prophet has been among them.” Ezekiel 33:30-33
• “Who say to the seers, “Do not see,” and to the prophets, “Do not prophesy to us right things; Speak to us smooth things, prophesy deceits. Get out of the way, turn aside from the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.” Isaiah 30:10-11
• “What right have you to declare My statutes, or take My covenant in your mouth, seeing you hate instruction and cast My words behind you?” Psalms 50:16-17

Concerning the Leaders of the Fallen Churches

• “And from the prophet even to the priest, everyone deals falsely. They have also healed the hurt of My people slightly, saying, ‘Peace, peace!’ When there is no peace.” Jeremiah 6:13-14
• “Have you not seen a futile vision, and have you not spoken false divination? You say, ‘The Lord says,’ but I have not spoken. Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Because you have spoken vanity, and seen lies, therefore, behold, I am against you, saith the Lord God.” Ezekiel 13:7-8
• “Thus says the Lord of hosts: “Do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you. They make you worthless; They speak a vision of their own heart, Not from the mouth of the Lord. They continually say to those who despise Me, ‘The Lord has said, “You will have peace” ’; And to everyone who walks according to the dictates of his own heart, they say, ‘No evil will come upon you.’” For who has stood in the counsel of the Lord, and has perceived and heard His word? Who has marked His word and heard it? Behold, a whirlwind of the Lord has gone forth in fury—A violent whirlwind! It will fall violently on the head of the wicked.” Jeremiah 23:16-19
• “What right have you to declare My statutes, or take My covenant in your mouth, seeing you hate instruction and cast My words behind you?” Psalms 50:16-17

Our Lord Jesus departs from today’s Churches due to rejection, and without Him in the Church, then the churches are fallen, fallen to the ground, “Then Jesus went out and departed from the temple, and His disciples came up to show Him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said to them, “Do you not see all these things? Assuredly, I say to you, not one stone will be left here upon another, that will not be thrown down.” Matthew 24:1-2 Click for posts on Matthew 24.

“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,
‘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.”
