Hi
Doves,
I
believe the Unleavened Feast of Passover is the Marriage
Supper of the Lamb.
This is why the Lord said,
"With fervent desire I have desired to eat
this Passover with you before I suffer;
"For I
say to you, I will no longer eat of it until it [that is, the
Unleavened Feast] is fulfilled in the Kingdom of God." (Luke
22:15)
The
Feast of Unleaven Bread is the Marriage Supper of Lamb.
It
will take place in Heaven in April 2012, at the same time the
Antichrist begins his 42 Month reign on earth.
If the
Rapture occurs on the 20th of December 2011, that gives us about 4
Months, in our glorified bodies, to get ready in
heaven for the
Wedding Feast!
"...The
marriage of the Lamb has come, and His
wife has made herself ready."
"And
to her it was granted to be arrayed in linen, clean and
bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints."
(Rev.19:7,8)
Many
in the Church today are blissfully living their lives
according to false doctrines [teachings], which the Lord
refers to as leaven.
"Then
Jesus said to them,
"Take
heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the
Sadducee's...Then they understood that He did not tell them to
beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and
Sadducee's." (Matt.16:6,12)
Leaven
is going to prevent so many in the Church from being Raptured,
as a result they will be unable to attend the Marriage Supper
of the Lamb!
It's absolutely crucial
we understand what "leaven" is!
Leaven
is all the teachings that ultimately lead to fornication and
adultery, being excused or overlooked in the Church.
"For
true and righteous are His judgements, because He has judged
the great harlot [Church] who corrupted the earth with her
fornication..." (Rev.19:2)
Paul had the same problem in his day, when a
young man, thought nothing of sleeping with his father's wife,
and then went on to attend the feast of unleavened bread!
Those who were at the
feast knew of it.
What did they do?
Nothing!
After all, "works have
nothing to do with salvation"
Really?
This is not what Paul
thought.
He really let them have
it!
"It is actually reported
that there is fornication among you...that a man has his
father's wife!
And you are puffed up,
and have not rather mourned, that he who has done this deed
might be taken away from among you...Your glorying [during the
Unleaven Feast] is not good.
Do you not know that a
little leaven [false doctrine] leavens the whole lump?
Therefore purge out the
old leaven [that is,those who live according to false
teachings that ultimately leads to fornication or adultery]
that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened
[that is, live according to true doctrine that ultimately
leads to marriage or abstinence]. For indeed Christ our
Passover was sacrificed for us.
Therefore let us keep the
feast, not with old leaven [that is, doctrine that leads to
fornication or adultery], nor with the leaven
of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened
bread [doctrine that leads to a life of marriage or
abstinence] sincerity and truth... Therefore put away from
yourselves the evil person.(1Cor.5:1,2,6-8,13)
This man was a brother in
Christ.
What he did to his own
father was malicious [ill will] and wicked.
He did not lose his soul,
he did however lose his body.
This is chastisement from
the Lord.
And yet similar to what
this man did, is happening in the Church today!
The Church today is
almost completely leavened!
For we read,
"Whoever divorces his
wife and marries another commits adultery against her.
"And if a woman divorces
her husband and marries another, she commits adultery."(Mark
10:11,12)
60 Years ago everyone in
the Church understood this verse perfectly.
Marriage was for life.
Married couples worked
hard to keep their marriages together.
Until the
believe-and-do-nothing-else-to-be-saved doctrine took root in
the Church [leaven 1]
Ministers stopped working
at their marriages, which led to them being divorced from
their wives.
They then wrongfully
interpreted just one verse, Matt.5:32, and used it to justify
remarriage in the Church.[leaven 2]
This leaven, that started
with a few, 60 Years later, as infected the entire Church!
What many fail to realise
is that believing in Jesus Christ is only the first step on the road to being
saved!
For without taking this
step, the subsequent steps cannot be taken.
For believing that Jesus
Christ is the Son of God, is the seed that produces
worship.
For we read,
"...When He [Jesus] had
found him [that is, the blind man He healed]. He said to him,
"Do you believe in the
Son of God?"
"He answered and said,
"Who is He Lord, that I
may believe in Him?"
"And Jesus said to him,
"You have both seen Him
and it is He who is talking with you."
"Then he said,
"Lord, I believe!"
And he worshiped Him." (John 9:35-38)
When we worship the Lord
we receive from Him the love to keep His commandments.
"He who has My
commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me..." (John
14:21)
It's only when we are
keeping the Lord's commandments each day, that we are
doing the works of faith.
"...I will show you my
faith by my works." (James 2:18)
And this is the
glorious wonder of it.
Resurrection/translation
power is what moves us to do the work of faith each and
every day of lives!
For we read that we are,
"... kept by the power of God through [the works of]
faith for salvation [resurrection/translation] ready to be
revealed in the last time [day]" (1Pet.1:5)
This is the very same
power that raised the Lord up from the dead, into a
glorified body!
"...and what is the
exceeding greatness of His power
[flowing] toward us who believe, according to the the
working of His mighty power which He worked in Christ when He
raised Him from the dead..." (Eph.1:19,20)
It's the power of
God that moves us to believe that Jesus is Lord!
This same power
then moves us to worship Him!
This same power then
moves us to love the Word enough to live our lives each
day, according to it!
It's only when we
are living according to the Word, are we doing the works
of faith.
The power of God that
moves us to do the works of faith, is also going to translate
us at the rapture!
The only thing that can
short-circuit the power of God in our lives is if we use our
own free will to live according to false doctrine [leaven]
that prevents us from doing good to those the Lord has placed
in our lives.
For doing good to others
is how we express living faith.
If we stop expressing our
faith this way, the power of God gradually withdraws from our
lives.
The flesh then takes
over!
If a Christian brother is
single he justifies fornication and looks for a Church were
they will not condemn him for having a girlfriend.
If a Christian
brother is married he starts to argue and fight with his wife.
Before long they can't
stand to be in the same room together.
the marriage breaks down
and they file for divorce.
They then seek marriage
with other people.
They then look for
Churches were the Pastors will be sympathetic to their
situation.
This is the adultery
endorsed by many Churches today!
When a Christian
married couple set their hearts to love one another, each day,
they do things for one another that express that love.
The love they express
towards one another, is the work of faith.
This is the tangible
evidence that the power of God is working in their lives, and
that they are ready for the rapture!
If a Christian sister is
married, with children, to a man who is decides to leave
her for another woman.
She expresses her love
for the Lord by raising those children by herself.
She prays for her husband
to repent and return to her and be a father to those children.
This is her work of
faith.
This shows, in a tangible
way that the power of God is at work in her life and that she
is ready for the rapture.
As long has her husband
is alive she will continue to pray for him.
She won't remarry, for
she knows, according to the Word, that would be adultery.
This is a sister that has
reverence for the Word of God.
Now a true story:
A married couple had two
young children. They were not believers at the time. The wife
began to use drugs. The husband didn't.
He tried to get her to
stop but she refused.
It wasn't long before her
drug habit got out of control and she began to secretly sleep
with men to get money for drugs.
When her husband found
out he took the children away from her and they were looked
after by his mother.
He got saved and started
praying for his wife.
She moved in with a
pimp and became a prostitute. She even had a child for
him.
Her husband continued to
pray for her.
He refused to give up on
her.
He new what many fail to
understand today, that as long as she is alive she is his wife
and the mother of his children.
He wasn't going to
divorce her and marry some one else!
He understood that he had
the power to save her!
"How do you know, O
husband whether you will save your wife?" (1Cor.7:16)
The love this man has for
his wife is his work of faith.
It's the tangible
evidence that the power of God is working in him!
What happened?
The Holy Spirit
touched her and she gave up drugs and a life of prostitution.
She returned to her
husband with the child and gave her life to Christ.
They are still
happily married today as they both await the
rapture!
If this man
had eaten the leaven bread fed to many in Churches
today, he would have been told to remarry and his wife
would have been lost!
The Lord is coming only
for those who do not have leaven in their lives [houses]
For they have made
themselves ready for the Marriage Supper.
My
prayer is that when the Lord Comes He finds our
"houses" completely free from leaven.
