“Nevertheless I will make them keep charge of the temple, for all its work, and for all that has to be done in it.” Ezekiel44:14

The ministers of today’s churches, synagogues, etc. are made to keep charge over the manmade buildings, all of the work that happens within, and everything else that needs to be done in it. That occurs even if they are not serving God through Jesus Christ to live a life of Holiness in the Holy Spirit. This is what the Bible speaks to us about, makes us aware of, and prepares us for. The corruption of the churches is what leads to the opening of the Seven Seals, which is described in Revelation 4. Then comes the events of the Seven Trumpets of Revelation 8, 9, and 11, and the Seven Plagues.

As Jesus Christ goes out from the churches, the churches suffer an implosion to render them useless as a light shining on His Gospel. Christ Jesus has already left the churches as His testimony is no longer found there. Jesus Christ plainly speaks of the destruction of the manmade churches, “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 shall be left here upon another, that shall not be thrown down.” Matthew 24:1-2 Click for a post on Matthew 24.

The temple also refers to our body as the temple of Holy Spirit. The corrupt ministers, who have charge over the churches, serve the beast that is sitting within them to give them what to think, feel, do, and say. These ministers want their congregation to serve the same. That beast exalts itself over God and sits in the temple of God 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 The “he” in that verse is the “man of sin”.

They are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they are given to say and do. “If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.” 1 Corinthians 3:17

Those who are persuaded to serve the entity giving them what to think, feel, say, and do are following in the footsteps of the one who “…opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven. It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation. All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.” Revelation 13:6-8 The “him” in this verse is the beast of the image and mark of the beast.

The followers of Jesus Christ are kept outside the churches. The churches are dominated with those of today’s culture, those serving the beast with power over physiology to give them their thoughts, feelings, words, and behaviors. Today’s culture has a hatred for God, Jesus Christ, and are oppressive to the presence of the Holy Spirit. Jesus says to us, “If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will keep yours also.” John 15:18-20

“….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.”
Revelation 2:24-25, 3:11
