THE DAYS OF NOAH NIMROD AND LOT
The other day, I read that “scientists” were engaged
in their latest gag-making enterprise of placing pig brain cells into human
brains, ostensibly to help with those of us who might have Huntington’s
disease. Should you want to check this out for yourself, go to:
http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=mg18725124.400
This brings to my mind that little parenthetical
statement placed after our Lord’s words, “when you therefore see the abomination
that causes desolation (let him who reads UNDERSTAND)”……always wondered
why that was there….but perhaps the dark glass becomes clearer here. Our
bodies are the temple
of God.
Pigs were offered upon the altar of the Lord, causing the abomination of
desolation in the days of the destruction of Israel’s
temples. He says in effect we should watch for this to happen not only
in the days to come for Israel,
but for ourselves also, (let him who reads understand) who
make an abode for the Holy Spirit in our bodies. Pig brains placed in human
brains. Our minds, therefore, a portion of our hearts, the altar in our
bodies directed toward our worship of God, Christ and the Holy Spirit. To
me, this is an abomination causing desolation. When we see this, we are
to know the end is near.
Whereupon, I began to bring together some thoughts
about these last days and all the appalling things that seem to confront
us daily, as also Lot was vexed daily by those things going on around him;
and from these scribbled notes, put something together to share with others
who might be like-minded, and try to be brief and to-the-point, something
I find very, very difficult to do. But I will attempt to add to your arsenal
of knowledge rather than repeat what is already known to us. First of all,
from the ancient Book of Noah, it would appear that Noah had some understanding
about the subtle earth changes which he observed, and ran to his grandfather
Enoch to inquire of him about it. He observed a “tilt” in the earth. Now,
weren’t we told that after the December 26, 2004
earthquake and tsunami, that the earth had ever so slightly, “tilted” so
that we lost a tiny fraction of “time”? see:
http://exodus2006.com/11NOAH.htm
Likewise, we today see the encroaching earth
changes, which were prophesied by our Lord to occur in the last days.
He said, as in the days of Noah, the majority would “know not”, until it
was too late. Because of today’s science community adhering to the gradualist
approach to the universe, they deny sudden catastrophes, and lead that group
who are “mockers” in the last days, saying all remains the same since the
beginning. So Noah’s mockers are today influenced by our own scientists,
who refuse to (“willingly are ignorant”) entertain the obvious early signs
of a coming pole shift described in Isaiah 24.
Noah was 600 years old when the flood occurred
and lived some 350 years after that. Jesus draws our attention to the days
“before the flood” in Matthew 24:38, so this must be our first area
of interest, and it was some 500 years after the flood that the nations
were dispersed following man’s feeble attempt to rear up the tower of Babel.
More on that later.
Before the flood, the population had increased
upon the earth, and violence covered the earth. Television
anyone? Hollywood
anyone? Worse, the daily toll of actual murders and atrocities which we see
on the news. But physical lust marked the times, and that led to
even the lust of the angels, who “left their first estate” as:
Jude
1:6
-
And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation,
he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment
of the great day.
These clearly called “angels”, here,
and not the sons of Seth as is often taught. They are also implicated in
the following verse as “going after strange flesh”, as did the men of Sodom
in desiring to “know” the angels at Lot’s
house. These angels kept not their first estate, or first “body”, habitation,
(as elsewhere in the Bible our bodies are called tabernacles, coverings,
etc.), and lusted after the daughters of men, so somehow they acquired the
ability to procreate and produce giant children. Likewise the men of Sodom/Gomorrah
wanted to have relations with angels, or,
Jude 1:7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them
in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange
flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal
fire.
Thus, we have “strange flesh”, as a preoccupation of
people in the days prior to the flood, and afterward at Sodom
and Gomorrah.
Today, in many different ways, we see this development in our own times.
Our “scientists” seem to have a fascination with combining
all types of animal flesh with human flesh, and in their own laboratory-created
inseminations, cloning, etc, all for our “good” mind you, and likewise manipulating
human DNA and “stem cells”, they carry on un-hindered in their hydra-headed
and shameless atrocities. Today, it is “science” who are the perpetrators
of this mixing of strange flesh, as we can see from the above, that those
angels who left their first estate and corrupted the flesh of the earth
prior to the flood, are now “chained”, to appear to be judged
in the last day. Satan desires to corrupt the flesh of men in any
way he can find, for he knows that his time is short. We probably have
all had our flesh corrupted from the use of vaccines grown on monkey kidneys,
eggs, etc. This tendency to corrupt human flesh with animal combinations,
injections, etc., will continue to occur on an increasing basis until our
Lord calls the end to the party.
Physical lust is also a prominent feature of
our times, as then. This morning on the news I saw that a new trend started
by Britney Spears, is for pregnant women to pose with their bellies exposed
and partially-clad, for photographs, so that they may “celebrate” their
pregnancy. And so, out came a parade of women thus exposed in shocking poses,
often with their adoring husbands in the photos. I can understand a husband’s
growing wonderment and curiosity about this great gift and mystery of God,
in the privacy of their lives, but their naked and pregnant wife paraded
on national tv? I’m telling you, I have to constantly
keep a barf-bag wherever I go!
I am not exactly what you might call a Sister-of-Perpetual-Miseries
pure-heart, but more and more with each passing day, I look up and say,
Lord please come at get us out of here! Sears has an affordable photo “session”
for pregnant women to memorialize the shame of their own body worship.
Today we have our young people piercing and
tattooing their bodies, having their hair done in savage-type styles, dyed
in brilliant colors, and the young girls dressing as street prostitutes.
The older women indulge in multiple cosmetic surgeries to enhance their
breasts and attempt to reverse the visible signs of aging. It is a society
gone mad.
Speaking of aging, the days of Noah ended with
a flood, probably a pole shift, and an atmosphere and troposphere change.
In the beginning, God placed a band of water above the earth when He separated
the waters. This band of water protected men from the rays of the sun, so
they lived almost 1000 years (never over 1000 years, even for Methusela,
for Adam was told that he would die “the DAY {1000 years} he would partake
of the forbidden tree”). Prior to the flood there was a “mist” that kept
everything moist, and rain was unheard of. After the flood, when the windows
on high were opened, this band of protective water came down upon the earth,
and the waters of the deep were also opened up, and the earth flooded with
these waters. God had determined that His Spirit should not strive with
man as long as previously, so even today even the oldest person cannot make
it to 120 years. By the time of Abraham, the lifespan had already fallen
to 175 years for him. (I have often wondered why men didn’t get around to
having children prior to the age of 300 or so before the flood, as with
Noah and Enoch, but I will save that for another time…). Now, with the protective
band of water gone, man was further exposed to the ravages of the sun, reducing
life spans some 80%, being left with a magnetic field, and an ozone layer,
which acted to deflect damaging effects of the sun upon us.Fast forward
to today, and we see that God again, like the days of Noah, is again withdrawing
the protective layers of the earth, to expose men to the effects of even
more sun. We wake up last year to the news that the earth’s magnetic field
has weakened by 10%:
http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/earth_magnetic_031212.html
and we know that from the l970’s there has been a marked
reduction in the ozone layer, so these two protective layers are being withdrawn,
bringing about deleterious effects upon our immune systems, and necessitating
the use of sun-block in an attempt to protect us. Carry this out into the
coming years of tribulation and In Revelation we see that the sun will “scorch
men” such that they develop troublesome sores on their skin. As in Luke
21, we are beginning to see these things. Add to this the decrease in the
amount of oxygen and increase of carbon dioxide in the gases which we exchange,
and we have the recipe for a staggering increase in the amount of free-radical
damage to our cells, both internal and external – the skin; hence, the booming
industry of cosmetic surgery, face lifts, skin treatments, etc. The increase
in carbon dioxide in our atmosphere only encourages the further “decomposition”
of these damaged cells, for we know that carbon dioxide is responsible for
the “rotting” of organic materials. Have you noticed in the last ten years
or so, that your family garbage rots so much faster than it did when you
were younger, and that it smells so bad before the weekly garbage collection,
especially in the summer, and that even things in refrigerators do not
keep their freshness for as long as it once did? Thank the increased carbon
dioxide for this. The carbon dioxide will bring leafy plants into maturity
much faster than they used to, but the downside is that the subsequent “rotting”
stage comes sooner. My gardens were already burned out before July was
past, whereas it used to be well into September before the plants gave up
the ghost. Decomposition of organic matter produces carbon dioxide and
smelly rot; add to the mix the more friendly bacteria and you get “fermentation”,
which also produces carbon dioxide; hence, one of the first things Noah
found when he exited the ark were grapes that had been visited by these
little critters, and which then had “fermented” into wine. Man would begin
to have these environmental effects contribute to his own aging process.
Today, with the increased heat of global warming which adds to the carbon
dioxide by rotting plants faster, indeed we have a rotting world and rotting bodies.
Incidentally, these friendly bacteria, are
very good for us---eat your organic yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, fermented
pickles, and enjoy!
Now, the flood was about the year 1655 from
Adam, and Abraham was born about 1946 years from Adam. Thus, Noah was still
alive when Abraham was born. The Tower
of Babel
occurred sometime between the time of Noah and Abraham, or even about the
time Abraham was born, but at any rate the Tower
of Babel
is presented to us in God’s word prior to the introduction of Abraham and
Lot.
Since the days of Lot
are also indicated by our Lord to be like unto the days of His coming, then
why not look at these days of the Tower
of Babel
before addressing the days of Lot?
We should see here also things that relate to our days, and indeed we do.
God had instructed the family of Noah to move
out onto the face of the earth, and replenish the earth with families. But
Noah’s great grandson Nimrod had other ideas. He went to the land
of Shinar
and desired to build cities, and “a tower”.
It didn’t take long for men to go against the
wishes of God, for:
| |
And the whole earth was of one language, and
of one speech. |
| |
And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the
east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt
there. |
| |
And they said one to another, Go to, let us make
brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and
slime had they for mortar. |
| |
And they said, Go to, let us build us a city
and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us
a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. |
A tower whose top may reach unto heaven? No-where in
God’s commission to Adam and Eve, did he say that man would have dominion
in the heavens, other than over the “birds”. Man was to have dominion over
the earth, and the fish, and the beasts, and the birds.
Any attempt on man’s part to actually and physically
enter into the realms of heaven, other than to admire and study His heavenly
creation, would be a direct negation of the instructions given unto
man by God. This is why our “space program” today, makes me uneasy. We
don’t belong there. In fact, the Lord addresses one such nation that made
it up to the heavens, and said “I will bring thee down”.
Obadiah 1:4 |
Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and though
thou set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down,
saith the LORD. |
So much for the International Space Station and other
assorted affronts to our Lord God in the heavens, who created the heavens
and their order, so that we could marvel at them.
This nation exalts itself as an “eagle” – the U.S.A.
has the eagle as a national symbol……. Recently we sent an explosive device
against the comet Tempel 1, having gone the way of Nimrod.
Nowhere in scripture is man invited to intervene in the
heavens with his weapons and “technology”. And, as in the days of Nimrod,
this will be judged by Jehovah, the judge of mankind. The intent of the
building of the city and the tower was “to make
a name for themselves”, and to defy God’s commandment to scatter across
the earth in various nations.
God has nothing against the sovereignty of nations, but
He has a great deal against men indulging in a one-world government, shadowed
in this account of the first “Babylon”, and finding its ultimate and fully-leavened
fulfillment in the current and on-going movement for a new world order,
the collaborators of which all of us know, for haven’t they “made a name
for themselves”? They are the the “elite” group of men at high levels, working
with the powers of darkness and the principalities of the air, to bring
this about. These men love “cities” and “towers” and other assorted constructions
which they name after themselves. I find it interesting that in the description
of this city and tower, it says, that they were made of “brick”. And slime.
Presumably some form of mortar. Why the emphasis on what material this
city and this tower was made of? It has crossed
my mind that perhaps this was the “beginning” (for all things remain the
same, and what has been once, will be again), of the ancient practice of
“Freemasonry”? In our own times, the first masonic lodge in 1717 was formed
by the guild of the masons and those trades related to building. From
the following site on the history of freemasonry:
http://www.monas.nl/think/hiram.htm
“The official history of Freemasonry, says
that ever since the time of Adam secret knowledge has been passed from generation
to generation and many great names from the bible and history in general
were "Macons" with lodges and "grandmasters".
On 24 june 1717 the secret tradition got a new impulse
when a group of stately civilians formed the "Grand Lodge of the Most
Ancient and Rightfull Fraternity of the Free-Masons". The group originated
from the guild of masons, that was originally only accessible for masons
(architectures, contruction workers, contractors, etc.), but later when
the guilds started to disappear and everybody could start with any craft
he liked, people from outside the craft were let it and slowly the guild
of masons grew into an esoteric group with the secrecy and symbolism of
the masonic guild.”
Notice in the above , the reference
to “many great names”…..uhhhh….sooo,,,, they DID make names for themselves.
Now I find this just a bit more than interesting, because apparently this
guild of “builders” and “masons” were heavily into esoteric “mysteries”.
So, like the days of Nimrod, we have our own group of “elite” masonic personages,
who are intent upon getting themselves a name, and defying God by the introduction
of a global language, currency, community; in short, a humanistic dictatorship,
served by robotic enslaved humanity.
Back in the days of Nimrod, this activity of
men aroused the curiosity of God, and He said “let us go down to see what’s
going on here….” and, interestingly, He then added:
| |
And the LORD came down to see the city and the
tower, which the children of men builded. |
| |
And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one,
and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from
them, which they have imagined to do. |
| |
Go to, let us go down, and there confound their
language, that they may not understand one another's speech. |
| |
So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence
upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to
build the city. |
“And this they BEGIN” to do……”and now NOTHING will be
restrained from them, which they imagine to do”…
God could see that men were on a very destructive
path, which then was only the “beginning”, so He cut them off from their
exploits and confounded their languages. Today, the Lord has allowed this
group of men to proceed in their folly, and we all know the perverse outcome
which it will bring, for what they have “begun” to do in our day, is being
allowed by God to ripen into the ravages of the tribulation years, such
that few men will be left. A few years later, God actually caused the continents
to separate from one another in some form of cataclysmic pole-shift, during
the days of Peleg, so the judgment of Nimrod also involved huge earth changes.
This tower that would reach unto heaven, probably involved some type of
worship of the heavenly bodies in mystery-religious activity, but it does
also state that man actually thought the tower would reach unto heaven,
and God saw this also as the “beginning” stages of space exploration, which
we can see He had a minor quibble with them about also, for He said, NOTHING
would be impossible for them following this attempt to look into the mysteries
of God’s heavens. Thus, we see the birth of the freemasonry cult with its
Babylonish mystery religions and one-world rule, which God made a swift
end of, to be reserved until these times when He would let them have at
it.
Memo to self: this is once more getting way
too long, as usual.
Thankfully for us, God did not forget His covenant with
Adam to bring forth the Seed of the woman, and went on to call Abram out
of this early Babylonian religious apostasy. As the story goes, Abram chose
the pastoral life, and Lot
chose the “cities of the plain”, loving that city life and the things of
the world, even becoming a political big-collar there, sitting at the gates.
You know the story, if not, it’s a good read. Lot caused his uncle Abram
no small amount of grief, starting with bickering amongst their herdsmen,
then having to rescue him from captivity to the surrounding kings,
finally having to confront the problem of the total destruction of the place
of Lot’s
home. Abram hears from God that the cities of the plain will be destroyed,
and Abram immediately thinks of his nephew, whom he knew to be “righteous”.
| |
And the men turned their faces from thence, and
went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD. |
| |
And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked? |
| |
Peradventure there be
fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not
spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein? |
| |
That be far from thee to do after this manner,
to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should
be as the wicked, that be far from thee:
Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right? |
| |
And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous
within the city, then I will spare all the place
for their sakes. |
Right here, we learn that God does not destroy the righteous
with the wicked, giving us the comfort that for those in Christ will be
spared His wrath, for we are imputed with His righteousness. Abraham gets
on a roll and counts down the number of righteous men remaining who would
keep God from destroying the city, and leaves off at ten.
Lot
learns of the coming destruction of the city only the day before it happens.
His family is broken up and his wife lost because he had “loved” the world
more than he loved God. Yet he was a “just” man.
| |
And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities
of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the
midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in the
which Lot dwelt. |
Here we see that God remembered Abraham; it was for Abraham’s
sake that God spared Lot
from the destruction of the cities. God remembers our beloved relatives
and friends, whom we love, even if they don’t acknowledge Him as we would
pray that they do. This is comforting to us.
Noah loved God, and God gave him plenty of
time to prepare for the coming deluge, and Noah saved his entire family.
We likewise have been given time to prepare, and expect the coming judgments,
and instruction on how to be spared His wrath. After Noah was spared the
flood, came the development of the new world order and the Babylonian religion,
just like after we are gone, the antichrist crew will have their long-desired
chance to create their new world order. Then comes the Lot’s of
this world, those who love the world, but nonetheless are “righteous”, who
will be yanked out at the last minute before the full wrath of God descends.
These will include some of those we dearly love, but who will not listen
to our words about the Lord, and God will remember our love for them. When
Jesus comes for us at the rapture, it says “The Lord Himself” will come,
like God who was present with Noah, evening beckoning him into the ark.
Jesus spoke of a later rapture, when He would “send my angels” who would
gather out His elect. Like Lot, who was forcibly taken out of the city
by angels, so will these “righteous” ones be taken out “by angels” before
the full extent of God’s wrath falls, yet, like Lot, having to endure confusion,
tribulation, and loss of family members, as well as “mocking” which Lot
received from his sons-in-law.
In the above, we also see the progression of
earth changes and upheavals, from Noah’s knowledge of a small “tilt”, to
the “flood”, to the continental divisions of Peleg’s day, and on to the
celestial fireworks sent by God from heaven. All these things will happen
in the near future as this earth suffers birth pains, leading up to His
marvelous reign of a restored creation for 1000 years.
Enough already………..sorry again to burden you
with so many words, but you all know me for this by now, and my prayer is
that you may learn some small thing to add to your knowledge of our great
and wonderful Lord, even as you all have taught me so many things which
I so much appreciate…….. Your sister,,,,,Arlene
