What branch of the family are you working on?


What branch are you working?

Where is your energy being exerted? God created man to till the soil.

Genesis 2:5, says, “… and there was no man to till the ground.”

So God created a man from the dust of the ground, Genesis 2:7.

The problem is that man was separated from his source of inspiration and revelation through disobedience, which developed into rebellion. Man was created in the image of God and in the likeness of God. God could make a man from dirt, a woman from a bone. He formed the animals and birds from the dust of the ground.

The image of God in man was marred, and so the likeness of God was perverted. Man went from a servant to an adversary. The story of Cain and Abel is a perfect example. According to the Apostle John, Cain killed his brother because he belonged to the Evil One, and his works were evil, 1 John 3:12

Adam possessed unlimited potential and time to manifest God’s character and abilities.

The purpose of God’s original blueprint was lost, and the ability was lost through sin.

There is only one platform

There is only one platform from which to build or plant, God’s created order. He chose seed time and harvest as the method of working on earth.

“Be not deceived whosoever a man sow that shall he reap!” Galatians 6:7-10

There was an evil branch added the family

There was an evil branch added to the family of man not because God planned it that way, Adam’s opened the door to the Evil One by chosing to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

When God judged Adam’s sin, it was there when we learned that the Serpent 🐍 gained seed.

“And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.” Genesis 3:15 (kjv)

The Serpent 🐍 gained SEED through Adam’s disobedience. This is why God had to drive Adam out of the Garden of Eden. Man could have taken the fruit of the tree of life and lived forever in a rebellious state.

However, God planned that the two branches would never co-exist peacefully. There are two spiritual governments, the kingdom of light and the kingdom of darkness.

The ultimate end of the kingdom of darkness is destruction. The economics, social structures, and governments are heading for a day of utter destruction. See Revelation 18:22-23. In this passage of scripture, you see destruction of the arts, crafts, education, and social structure.

A period of great darkness is coming

There is a coming a period of great darkness, a result of the judgment of the whore of Babylon (the branch of the family) Revelation SEED.

Also, see Exodus 10:21-23. Darkness that can be felt. But God makes a difference between his servants and his enemies!

The world is preparing for this battle. it’s called the Day of the Lord.

The world has been preparing for this battle since Adam fell in the garden of Eden. Satan has the evil branch of the family (the nations) investing enormous energies and resources into building the infrastructure to war against God.

There is an illusion that the nations function independently of one another. But the truth is, each nation is wholly devoted to fulfilling their purpose in advancing the schemes of darkness.

“And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.” Revelation 19:19

God restores man’s original purpose

“For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before hand that we should walk in them.” Ephesians 2:10 (NKJV)

The Harvest is Great

“Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.” Luke 10:2

“For we are labourers together with God: ye ate God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building.” 1 Corinthians 3:9

God’s harvest has been going on since the beginning of time.

Adam was given a part of the vision of God’s harvest.

Noah and his family were given a part of the vision.

Abraham and family were given a part of the vision. Abraham saw the family of God as the stars of heaven and the sand on the seashore, Genesis 15:5

Finally, Jesus has come to give us God’s vision. In Luke 10:2, the Harvest is truly great. This is the great grand harvest that will take us into eternity, Revelation 22:1

In Revelation 22:1, this river flows out of the throne of God!

Eternal Life is simply the gift of God- access to the tree 🌳 of life- being reconnected to the river of life that flowed out of the Garden of Eden, Genesis 2:10.

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16

God took the river of life (Genesis 2:10) and put it on the inside of you,

John 4:10, the gift of God is living water. John 4:14, a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

Rivers of living water, John 7:38-39

This power is eternal, unending, infinite: See Acts 1:4-8

“Wait for the promise… and you shall receive power”

He that hath the Son hath life

“And this is the record, that God hath given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son, he that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.” 1 John 5:11-12.

People have not connected

People have not connected the ground, seed, and eternal life together. They think that eternal life is something we get when they die and go to heaven.

Eternal life is the infinite power of God working in you now. EPHESIANS 3:19-20

“TO KNOW the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you might be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we can ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.” (NKJV)

In Revelation 22:1-5, you can see the big picture. You can see the river of God flowing out of the throne of God and of the Lamb! Infinite eternal power. Enough power to light up the city without a sun. It grows fruit that heals sin.

“… And they shall REIGN forever and ever.” Revelation 22:5

King of Babylon, part 4

“How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer. Son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!” Isaiah 14:12

God told the prophet Isaiah to take up a proverb against the King of Babylon and say, “How hath the oppressor cease! the golden city ceased!” (Isaiah 14:4)

The next verse says,

“The LORD hath broken the staff of the wicked, and scepter of the rulers. He who smote the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted, and none hindereth.” Isaiah 14:5-6

Isaiah 14:6 confirms Revelation 18:3

The King of Babylon (Satan) smote the people in wrath with a continual stroke. He ruled the nations in anger.

For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. The whore of Babylon (the kingdom of darkness) hath committed fornication with the kings of the earth and the merchants have grew rich through her schemes.

Satan kingdom is described as the golden city, Isaiah 14. It is also described as the whore seated on the beast, the MOTHER of harlots and abominations of the earth.

Everything from drug rings, sex trafficking, pornography… it’s orgins started here. His merchants are called the great men of the earth.

“… thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived (Revelation 18:23)

The amazing thing about this “prophesy” is that the One who beat people and killed people is now being persecuted.

“Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit” (Revelation 20:1-3). They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; that made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?” Isaiah 14:15-17.

“And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.” Revelation 20:10

The whole earth shall sing

“The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet: they break forth unto singing.” Isaiah 14:7

Nature itself will sing,

“Yea, the fir trees rejoice at thee, and the cedars of Lebanon, saying, Since thou art laid down, no feller is come up against us.” Isaiah 14:8

Worship is the saving health of the nations. See Psalms 67

When the earth sings its worship to God, it will not be cursing rap music. It won’t be the blues, and rock n roll.

In my neighborhood this past Sunday, one of my neighbors played their music very loudly. It could be heard all over the community. The lyrics were depressing, oppressive. The lyrics were about lost love and opportunities. It was lustful and self-centered focused.

Satan is glorified in such sitting. Satan was originally created to be the worship leader, the anointed cherub of Ezekiel 28:12-16. That was his assignment, the purpose for his creation. When he fell, all of his good qualities were perverted and twisted into selfish, self-centeredness, which is amplified through music.

But notice, even the music will be judged

“And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee…” Revelation 18:22

God is going to return a pure language to the people.

“For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the LORD, to serve him with one consent.” Zephaniah 3:9

Then God will rejoice with singing over them

“The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.” Zephaniah 3:17.

Jesus Christ, made a high priest (Psalms 110:1-7)

“Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.” Hebrews 2:12

We must go yet deeper into the judgment coming upon Satan and his kingdom, in part 5

Grace & peace!

The King of Babylon, part 3

Satan lost his place

I shared in previous posts how Adam forfeited his position to Satan as the federal head of mankind. Satan stood in Adam place as a world ruler of mankind. He stood in the office of a priest. He also functioned in the office of a servant. He was given an assignment to fulfill and a limited time to fulfill it!

The Sacifical Lamb

Once Jesus was offered as a sacrifice to cleanse the sin of the world, Satan lost all rights to dominate man against his will.

“And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, and prevailed not; neither was their place found many more in heaven.” Revelation 12:7-8

Cast Out

“And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is down, which accused them before God day and night.” Revelation 12:9-10

Jesus Christ, the Second Adam

Jesus is seated on the right of God from which he represents us before God. God has given everyone the right and privilege to become sons of God through faith in him. See John 1:10-13.

Now you can conquer Satan

“And they overcame him (satan) by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto death.” Revelation 12:11

Use the tools he gave you! The blood of the Lamb. The word of God, and the promises. Your testimony of faith in God and in the sacrifice of Jesus Christ makes the difference!

Satan knows his time is short

According to Revelation 12:12

“Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! For the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.”

Submit to God, resist the devil, and he will flee from you. James 4:7

“For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:4-5

In the next post of this series, the King of Babylon Coming Down, part 4; we will look at the finality of the King of Babylon, the plans God has in store for him.

Grace & peace!

King of Babylon, part 2

“And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years. And cast him into a bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.” Revelation 20:1-3

Great loss of wealth

“And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.” Revelation 18:4

“For in one hour great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off, and cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is. like into this great city!” Revelation 18:17-

“That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased.”

How did Satan become the god of this world?

Adam forfeited his leadership position to Satan. When Adam failed in the Garden of Eden, the Serpent gained SEED, Genesis 3:15. This seed gave him the right to sow his image and plans into the hearts of people.

Jesus said, “Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this be cast out.” John 12:31

Jesus said, the prince of this world comes and he has nothing in me, John 14:30

Jesus said, “… the prince of this world is judged.” John 16:11

Federal Headship

Adam was the federal head of the human race. He represented creation before God in the Garden of Eden. He functioned in the role of guardian, that’s why God said to Adam to dress and keep the garden.

The Antichrist

Satan will unite the nations under the leadership of one man, the antichrist!

Revelation 13:2, “… the dragon gave him him his power, and his seat, and great authority.”

Revelation 13:7-8 “And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindred, and tongues, and nations. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.”

The base and / or platform on which everything was created was/is a worship system. Adam offered the sacrifice of fruit as a sacrifice of worship. When he sinned, he lost his position as the head of the human race. Satan became the spiritual head of the human race.

There is only One System in the created order, a worship system. As we head into eternity, it will still be a worship system. According to Revelation 22:1, “And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, processing out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.”

The Lamb of God, the sacrifice, will be seated on the throne for all eternity. Even as we speak, he is seated in the highest place of authority, on the right hand of God.

“… and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him.” Revelation 22:2b-3

After Adam sinned, the sacrifice was changed from a fruit based sacrifice to the blood of an animal sacrifice. This was the case in the matter of Cain and Abel. Cain persisted in the old order by offering a fruit sacrifice. Abel offered a blood sacrifice. God rejected Cain’s sacrifice and accepted Abel’s sacrifice.

According to Hebrews 11:4, the Bible says, Abel offered a more excellent sacrifice than his brother Cain by which he obtained witness that he was righteous.

This holds true today, John the Baptist said when he saw Jesus, ‘Behold the Lamb of God which takes away the sins of the world’, John 1:29.

The MYSTERY of Babylon

In Revelation chapter 17, the apostle John saw a woman sitting on the back of the beast in Revelation chapter 17. She had a title written on her forehead, “MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH” she was drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus (Revelation 17:6). This system thrives off of human blood sacrifice. This system is behind all blood shed, the loss of human life rather unintentional or deliberate.

“… for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived. And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.” Revelation 18:23-24

Satan built a system of worship system using Adam’s authority. He works through people to advance his agenda. He uses their God-given dominion to put his plans into operation. He is the puppet master behind governments, religions, and the economic systems of this world.

The only thing on earth that stands in Satan’s way is the people of God who are dedicated to God’s purposes. Believers who refuse to bow their knees to him.

Jesus exposes Satan’s agenda

Jesus, speaking to religious leaders of his day: “Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lust of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.” John 8:42-44

in Matthew 4:8-9, Satan took Jesus to a high mountain and showed him ALL the kingdoms of this world in their splendrous glory and said, “I will give you all these things, if you fall down and worship me.”

“And the devil taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world of the world in a moment of time, and the devil said unto him, all this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it. If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.” Luke 4:5-7

Come Out

In Revelation 18, the apostle John heard a great voice saying, ‘out of her my people lest you be partakers of her sin and receive her plagues’. Many people are heavily invested in that system. Pension plans, stock market investments, savings plans…

Reward her Double

Every human life that was taken, all the blood that was shed in wars, all the people who were murdered, and all loss of life will be accounted for in this judgment. From the first murder of Abel down to the last person, whose blood is shed.

The judgment is described as doubled. Babylon judgment is coming in one day. Just like in the days of Noah when a mighty flood destroyed all life on earth. Death, mourning, famine, plagues, and utter destruction by fire will be released on Babylon.

Revelation 18:9-11

“And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city! for in one hour is thy judgment come. And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for NO man buyeth their merchandise any more.”
