Mixing service to Jesus Christ with the entity that gives what to think, feel, do, and say brings destruction

Rejoicing to see the coming of the Ark of God with the golden tumors and golden rats.
“Now the people of Beth Shemesh were reaping their wheat harvest in the valley; and they lifted their eyes and saw the ark, and rejoiced to see it.” 1 Samuel 6:13

The new cart with the two milk cows arrived at the territory where the Ark of God belonged. The cart was hauling not only the Ark of the Covenant but also the chest of offerings from the priests of the false god, Dagon. Those offerings included the golden tumors and golden rats. When the people of the land saw the Ark of God coming towards them, they rejoiced and stopped reaping the harvest. As we will see in verse 15, the same people who rejoiced to see the Ark of God also mixed the golden tumors and golden rats with the offerings they made to God. Big mistake.

We live in a culture today where sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ has greatly diminished and desiring to bring the harvest of lost souls to Jesus Christ has faded. The churches of today have mixed service to God with the false god that gives them what to feel, say, do, and think. They rejoice to offer their body to this entity that enables the image of the beast to speak and live through them as they refer to it as being God, the presence of god in them. The culture of today is global, and they are groomed to the mark f the beast by what they say and do.

Sacrifice prepared to be given to the Lord.
“Then the cart came into the field of Joshua of Beth Shemesh, and stood there; a large stone was there. So they split the wood of the cart and offered the cows as a burnt offering to the Lord.: 1 Samuel 6:14

The cart came to a halt in a field next to a large stone. The stone is representative of the altar of our soul where we lay our offerings to the Lord through Jesus Christ. That is mentioned in the coming verses. The leaders of the people took the sparkling new cart and split the wood it was built with to be used as firewood where the offering would be burnt. The two milk cows were slaughtered to be used for the burnt offering made to the Lord.

The churches of today have dismantled the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the same way the newly built cart was dismantled. The new cart is like the New Covenant God made with us through Jesus Christ, which is to bring us into the presence of God. The New Covenant is this, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16 In today’s culture, anyone who wants to come into the presence of God is split apart in spirit and soul to add them as firewood to a turbulent world.

The churches of today have slaughtered the milk cows that nourishes the soul and spirit with the presence of God through His Son Jesus Christ. The churches have abandoned the milk of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and instead use smooth and flattering words of their false God to minister to their congregation, “For those who are such do not serve our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly, and by smooth words and flattering speech deceive the hearts of the simple.” Romans 16:18

The stone where the cart stopped is representative of the altar of the Cross where Jesus Christ offered Himself to God to atone for our sin. The stone is also representative of the altar of our soul where we offer ourselves to God, through Jesus Christ, as a Living sacrifice. Today, that altar is used by the churches for people to offer themselves to the false god in the name of God. In other words, within the souls of people, created to be the temple of God, sits the entity that gives people what to think, feel, do, and say as if it is God. This is the entity “…. 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 for post on the “man of sin”.

Golden tumors and golden rats are offered to the Lord with the sacrifice.
“The Levites took down the ark of the Lord and the chest that was with it, in which were the articles of gold, and put them on the large stone. Then the men of Beth Shemesh offered burnt offerings and made sacrifices the same day to the Lord.” 1 Samuel 6:15

The Levites were the priests over all the Israelites, and the Levites of today are every minister of the manmade churches. When Jesus Christ atoned for our sin on the Cross, He did away with the need for earthly ministers. Our Lord Jesus is the one and only minister of our spirit and soul. “For if He were on earth, He would not be a priest… But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as He is also Mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises.” Hebrews 8:4,6

The Levites took the Ark of God and the chest of the golden tumors and golden rats and placed them together on the stone. The stone symbolizes the altar of our soul where we offer ourselves to God as a living sacrifice and come into His presence. To place the Ark of God and the offerings of the false god on the altar of our soul is to imply we come into the presence of God with the false god of this world. In other words, today’s culture, which dominates the leadership of and the seats in the churches, are implying that entering the presence of God comes with the entity that gives them what to feel, say, do, and think.

The worship services of today’s churches make sacrifices to their god, but not the God of Jesus Christ who atones for sin and gives us eternal life. They are using the split up and torn apart Gospel of Christ as their firewood and using the milk cows that nourish our spirit and soul in the word of God as their burnt offering. God is a Trinity who includes Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. It’s not possible to serve the Living God and at the same time split apart and burning Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. To serve God but disregarding Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit is to be serving a false god filled with golden tumors and golden rats.

Today’s culture watching to make sure the golden tumors and rats are part of the sacrifice.
“So when the five lords of the Philistines had seen it, they returned to Ekron the same day.” 1 Samuel 6:16

The lords of the Philistines were watching to see if the Levite priests of the Israelites would accept the Ark of God together with the chest of golden tumors and golden rats. When the priests accepted both together, the Philistines returned to their place. The leaders of today’s culture are watching the churches to make sure the leaders and members of the churches are abiding by the will of the entity that gives people what to say, do, feel, and think.

The leaders of today’s culture insist that the churches foster unbelief in God, promote a disregard for the forgiveness of sin through Jesus Christ, and to habitually suppress the presence of the Holy Spirit. That is why the churches of today have partnered with the will of the community culture instead of coming apart from the ways of the world to serve God through Jesus Christ. The churches collaborate with the social network to encourage their people to live by the entity giving them their feelings, thoughts, words, and behaviors. And this entity 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 say and do.

Churches give offering to today’s culture by worshipping with the golden tumors and rats.
“These are the golden tumors which the Philistines returned as a trespass offering to the Lord: one for Ashdod, one for Gaza, one for Ashkelon, one for Gath, one for Ekron; and the golden rats, according to the number of all the cities of the Philistines belonging to the five lords, both fortified cities and country villages, even as far as the large stone of Abel on which they set the ark of the Lord, which stone remains to this day in the field of Joshua of Beth Shemesh.” 1 Samuel 6:17-18

The golden tumors represented each governor over all the territories of the land. The golden rats represented every person in every city within the land. Even as far as the stone where the Ark of God was set.

The golden tumors are representative of every nation across the globe. The golden rats are representative of every person in every city around the world. All of that territory and people represent the world government and its global culture. They are empowered by the entity giving them what to do, say, think, and feel. They claim all the world as their own even to claiming that they are the presence of God in the world today. They claim the human body as their territory, which is created by God to be the home of the Holy Spirit. They do not acknowledge Jesus Christ, who brings us into the presence of God by the forgiveness of sin, nor do they acknowledge the person of the Holy Spirit.

Treating the presence of God with disrespect leads to slaughter.
“Then He struck the men of Beth Shemesh, because they had looked into the ark of the Lord. He struck fifty thousand and seventy men of the people, and the people lamented because the Lord had struck the people with a great slaughter.” 1 Samuel 6:19

The Ark of the Lord is part of the “scarlet cord” referring to the presence of God being within us through belief in Jesus Christ. The fury of God’s judgment came against the men of the people “because they had looked into the ark of the Lord“. This refers to being disrespectful to the Ark of the Covenant by prying it open instead of honoring it as a sacred instrument of God. As a result of their irreverence to the presence of God, 50,700 men were slaughtered.

God established specifics for keeping the Ark of the Covenant consecrated in His Holiness. The priests and Levites, who were faithful to God, were the only ones who were to touch the Ark of God. And they had to be sanctified to do so. If anyone else did, then dire consequences would result, like the plague of tumors and death that came to those who served the false god of Dagon. As quoted, “So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of the Lord God of Israel. And the children of the Levites bore the ark of God on their shoulders, by its poles, as Moses had commanded according to the word of the Lord.” 1 Chronicles 15:14-15

The culture of today holds no sacred value for human being as the temple of God. In fact, they consider all of humanity to be a species of animal and not the creation of God, “…who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator…” Romans 1:25 Really, we are created to be the place where the presence of God lives within us.

The entity that has power over physiology thinks they can enter our thoughts and feelings to manipulate our words and behaviors without any consequences. They even scourge the presence of God within us, scoff at the possibility of being born again through Jesus Christ, and oppress the appearing of the Holy Spirit. To multiply their brutality to the presence of God, the human body is coerced to be the home of the image of the beast that speaks and lives through us. The masses of the global culture are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do.

“Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.” 1 Corinthians 3:16-17

A great slaughter is coming to the leaders of the world government and its global culture, “Then I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in the midst of heaven, “Come and gather together for the supper of the great God, that you may eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of all people, free and slave, both small and great.” Revelation 19:17-18

‘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.”
