The following letter was written in 1611 by the translators of the King James Version of the Bible. The important reason for including this letter into this book is that they mention the fact of those whose desire it is to keep people in ignorance and darkness. Of course these are the Kenites, the agents of darkness, who have come to work in this world; many in the name of Christianity. Instead of providing the spiritual food of Truth which frees people from their fears and guilt, they devise ways to control people by imposing more fear and guilt. They put more emphasis on tradition and rituals instead of knowledge from God’s Word.
The motivating ambition of King James and others of his time, was to enable the common person access to God’s Word. Before this period of putting the Bible into the language of the common person, the Word of God was in the hands of the priests, who used this as privileged knowledge to manipulate people to their own advantage. They were and still are the modern-day priests of Babylon, who like to walk around in their religious uniforms to let everybody know how religious they are.
Jesus said: Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts; Which devour widows’ houses, and for a show make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation. (Luke 20:46-47) For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 5:20)
You will notice reading this letter that the king was highly revered by all his subjects. This is because it was believed that the king himself was an instrument of God. If the king did right in the eyes of the Lord, the kingdom was blessed and prospered. If the king did evil in the eyes of the Lord, the kingdom suffered.
GREAT and manifold were the blessings, most dread Sovereign, which Almighty God, the Father of all mercies, bestowed upon us the people of England, when first He sent Your Majesty's Royal Person to rule and reign over us. For whereas it was the expectation of many, who wished not well unto our Sion, that upon the setting of that bright Occidental Star, Queen Elizabeth of most happy memory, some thick and palpable clouds of darkness would so have overshadowed this Land, that men should have been in doubt which way they were to walk; and that it should hardly be known, who was to direct the unsettled State; the appearance of Your Majesty, as of the Sun in his strength, instantly dispelled those supposed and surmised mists, and gave unto all that were well affected exceeding cause of comfort; especially when we beheld the Government established in Your Highness, and Your hopeful seed, by an undoubted Title, and this also accompanied with peace and tranquillity at home and abroad.
But among all our joys, there was no one that more filled our hearts, than the blessed continuance of the preaching of God's Sacred Word among us; which is that inestimable treasure, which excels all the riches of the earth; because the fruit thereof extends itself, not only to the time spent in this transitory world, but directs and disposes men unto that eternal happiness which is above in heaven.
Then not to suffer this to fall to the ground, but rather to take it up, and to continue it in that state, wherein the famous Predecessor of Your Highness did leave it: nay, to go forward with the confidence and resolution of a Man in maintaining the truth of Christ, and propagating it far and near, is that which has so bound and firmly knit the hearts of all Your Majesty's loyal and religious people unto You, that Your very name is precious among them: their eye does behold You with comfort, and they bless You in their hearts, as that sanctified Person, who, under God, is the immediate Author of their happiness. And this their contentment does not diminish or decay, but every day increases and takes strength, when they observe, that the zeal of Your Majesty toward the house of God does not slack or go backward, but is more and more kindled, manifesting itself abroad in the farthest parts of Christendom, by writing in defense of the Truth, (which has given such a blow unto that man of sin, as will not be healed,) and every day at home, by religious and learned discourse, by frequenting the house of God, by hearing the Word preached, by cherishing the Teachers thereof, by caring for the church, as a most tender and loving nursing Father.
There are infinite arguments of this right Christian and religious affection in Your Majesty; but none is more forcible to declare it to others than the vehement and perpetuated desire of accomplishing and publishing of this work, which now with all humility we present unto Your Majesty. For when Your Highness had once out of the deep judgment apprehended how convenient it was, that out of the Original Sacred Tongues, together with comparing of the labours, both in our own, and other foreign Languages, of many worthy men who went before us, there should be one more exact Translation of the Holy Scriptures into the English Tongue; Your Majesty did never desist to urge and to excite those to whom it was commended, that the work might be hastened, and that the business might be expedited in so decent a manner, as a matter of such importance might justly require.
And now at last, by the mercy of God, and the continuance of our labours, it being brought unto such a conclusion, as that we have great hopes that the Church of England shall reap good fruit thereby; we hold it our duty to offer it to Your Majesty, not only as to our King and Sovereign, but as to the principal Mover and Author of the work: humbly craving of Your Most Sacred Majesty, that since things of this quality have ever been subject to the censures of illmeaning and discontented persons, it may receive approbation and patronage from so learned and judicious a Prince Your Highness is, whose allowance and acceptance of our labours shall more honor and encourage us, than all the calumniations and hard interpretations of other men shall dismay us. So that if, on the one side, we shall be traduced by Popish Persons at home or abroad, who therefore will malign us, because we are poor instruments to make God's Holy Truth to be yet more and more known unto the people, whom they desire still to keep in ignorance and darkness; or if, on the other side, we shall be maligned by self-conceited Brethren, who run their own ways, and give liking unto nothing, but what is framed by themselves, and hammered on their anvil; we may rest secure, supported within by the truth and innocency of a good conscience, having walked the ways of simplicity and integrity, as before the Lord; and sustained without by the powerful protection of Your Majesty's grace and favour, which will ever give countenance to honest and Christian endeavours against bitter censures and uncharitable imputations.
The Lord of heaven and earth bless Your majesty with many and happy days, that, as his heavenly hand has enriched Your Highness with many singular and extraordinary graces, so You may be the wonder of the world in this latter age for happiness and true felicity, to the honour of that great GOD, and the good of his Church, through Jesus Christ our Lord and only Saviour.
(The Epistle Dedicatory of the Authorized <King James> Version.)
Religion is just one of the four dominions of Satan. This is why there’s so many different religions to choose from in this world. It’s like a bunch of people are looking at a candle. The truth is that it’s indeed a candle but the people cannot all agree on the fact that it’s a candle. All because of one cleverly devilish guy confusing some that it’s something other than a candle and they in their confusion believe it.
The light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived. (Revelation:18:23)
And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. (Matthew 23:9) Jesus wasn’t talking about our earthly father in this verse. He was talking about our spiritual Father. We have One Holy Father and He is the Creator of the universe. It’s the Kenites and those they keep in ignorance who call another man father and refer to the Pope as the holy father as they bow down to kiss his ring. Even the good angels in heaven would not have a man bow before them: And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which showed me these things. Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God. And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand. He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. (Revelation 22:8-11) Do not impose your own righteousness on others but rather live and let live and let God be the Judge.
All this information should be common knowledge among all people; especially Christians. It’s because of the confusion that Satan has brought into the churches by having his children working as ministers of light. For me, as far as spiritual matters go, there’s not a person on earth who can tell me otherwise what I already know to be true. I can plainly see the candle and I’m telling it like it is.
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:38-39)
Once a person comes to believe something as fact... doubt is eliminated.
The days are coming, declares the Sovereign Lord, when I will send a famine through the land - not a famine of food or a thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the words of the Lord. (Amos 8:11)
You have abandoned your people, the house of Jacob. They are full of superstitions from the East; they practice divination like the Philistines and clasp hands with the pagans. Their land is full of silver and gold; there is no end to the treasures. Their land is full of horses; there is no end to their chariots (rush hour traffic). Their land is full of idols (sports, music, television and religion); they bow down to the work of their hands (technology), to what their fingers have made. So man will be brought low and mankind humbled - do not raise them up.
Go into the rocks, hide in the ground from the dread of the Lord and the splendor of His Majesty! The eyes of the arrogant man will be humbled and the pride of men brought low; the Lord alone will be exalted in that day.
The Lord Almighty has a day in store for all the proud and lofty, for all that is exalted (and they will be humbled), for all the cedars of Lebanon, tall and lofty, and all the oaks of Bashan, for all the towering mountains and all the hills, for every lofty tower and every fortified wall, for every trading ship and every stately vessel. The arrogance of man will be brought low and the pride of men humbled; the Lord alone will be exalted in that day, and the idols will totally disappear.
Men will flee to caves in the rocks and to holes in the ground from the dread of the Lord and the splendor of His Majesty, when He rises to shake the earth. In that day men will throw away to the rodents and bats their silver and idols of gold, which they made to worship. They will flee to caverns in the rocks and to the overhanging crags from dread of the Lord and the splendor of His Majesty, when He rises to shake the earth.
Stop trusting in man, who has but a breath in his nostrils. Of what account is he? (Isaiah 2:6-22)
He replied, Go your way, Daniel, because the words are closed up and sealed until the time of the end. Many will be purified, made spotless and refined, but the wicked will continue to be wicked. None of the wicked will understand, but those who are wise will understand. (Daniel 12:9-10)
Those who are wise will instruct many, though for a time they will fall by the sword or be burned or captured or plundered. When they fall, they will receive a little help, and many who are not sincere will join them. Some of the wise will stumble, so that they may be refined, purified and made spotless until the time of the end, for it will come at the appointed time. (Daniel 11:33-35)
It will come at the appointed time. It is written, it will be done. No matter how many people start on a crusade of self-righteousness to save the world, it won’t stop the Day of the Lord from coming at its appointed time. Mankind cannot change the fate of its future.
Do not put out the Spirit’s fire; do not treat prophecies with contempt. Test everything. Hold on to the good. Avoid every kind of evil. (1Thessalonians 5:19-22)
Ezekiel 37 is the resurrection at the return of the Lord:
The hand of the Lord was upon me, and He brought me out by the Spirit of the Lord and set me in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones. He led me back and forth among them, and I saw a great many bones on the floor of the valley, bones that were very dry. He asked me, Son of man, can these bones live?
I said, O Sovereign Lord, you alone know.
Then He said to me, Prophesy to these bones and say to them, Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord! This is what the Sovereign Lord says to these bones: I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life. I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the Lord.
So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I was prophesying, there was a noise, a rattling sound, and the bones came together, bone to bone. I looked, and tendons and flesh appeared on them and skin covered them, but there was no breath in them.
Then He said to me, Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to it, This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe into these slain, that they may live. So I prophesied as He commanded me, and breath entered them; they came to life and stood up on their feet - a vast army.
Then He said to me: Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. They say, Our bones are dried up and our hope is gone; we are cut off. Therefore prophesy and say to them: This is what the Sovereign Lord says: O my people, I am going to open your graves and bring you up from them; I will bring you back to the land of Israel. Then you my people, will know that I Am the Lord, when I open your graves and bring you up from them. I will put my Spirit in you and you will live, and I will settle you in your own land. Then you will know that I the Lord have spoken and I have done it, declares the Lord. (Ezekiel 37:1-14)
I would like to believe that the information presented in this book helps to begin this process of Israel and the Church opening their eyes to the truth and preparing them for the Lord’s coming as they endure through God’s judgments on the rest of the world.
Chapter 17 in the book of Revelation speaks about the Whore of Babylon. This is about that prostitute who came to work in the name of Christianity in the fourth century. The truth is however, she’s been around long before the fourth century as you may have already guessed after reading the section on Nimrod.
Then all the men who knew that their wives were burning incense to other gods, along with all the women who were present - a large assembly - and all the people living in Lower and Upper Egypt, said to Jeremiah, We will not listen to the message you have spoken to us in the name of the Lord! We will certainly do everything we said we would: We will burn incense to the Queen of Heaven and will pour out drink offerings to her just as we and our fathers, our kings and our officials did in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem. At that time we had plenty of food and were well off and suffered no harm. But ever since we stopped burning incense to the Queen of Heaven and pouring out drink offerings to her, we have had nothing and have been perishing by sword and famine.
The women added, When we burned incense to the Queen of Heaven and poured out drink offerings to her, did not our husbands know that we were making cakes like her image and pouring out drink offerings to her?
Then Jeremiah said to all the people, both men and women, who were answering him, Did not the Lord remember and think about the incense burned in the towns of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem by you and your fathers, your kings and your officials and the people of the land? When the Lord could no longer endure your wicked actions and the detestable things you did, your land became an object of cursing and a desolate waste without inhabitants, as it is today. Because you have burned incense and have sinned against the Lord and have not obeyed him or followed his law or his decrees or his stipulations, this disaster has come upon you, as you now see.
Then Jeremiah said to all the people, including the women, Hear the word of the Lord, all you people of Judah in Egypt. This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: You and your wives have shown by your actions what you promised when you said, We will certainly carry out the vows we made to burn incense and pour out drink offerings to the Queen of Heaven.
Go ahead then, do what you promised! Keep your vows! But hear the word of the Lord, all Jews living in Egypt: I swear by my great name, says the Lord, that no one from Judah living anywhere in Egypt will ever again invoke my name or swear, As surely as the Sovereign Lord lives. For I am watching over them for harm. not for good; the Jews in Egypt will perish by sword and famine until they are all destroyed. Those who escape the sword and return to the land of Judah from Egypt will be very few. Then the whole remnant of Judah who came to live in Egypt will know whose word will stand - mine or theirs. (Jeremiah 44:15-28) What comes first? Your Christianity or your denomination; your word or God’s Word? Jeremiah may have been speaking to the house of Judah here but what he was speaking against has never stopped. Therefore, what he is saying is timeless and continues to speak to those caught up in this sort of darkness.
There I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was covered with blasphemous names and had seven heads and ten horns. (Revelation 17:3)
The woman is the world’s largest and most widely accepted religion. (This doesn’t mean that everyone in this denomination is lost. It’s the institution not the individual.) The scarlet (bloody red) beast is the beast of the earth from the 13th chapter of Revelation. There in the 13th chapter, it describes him as the Anti-Christ; the world’s religious leader. In the 17th chapter, he’s also a political world leader. The seven heads could be the seven hills of Rome or the seven continents of earth. It could also be seven other world leaders of the past, present and future (at the time of the writing) and the ten horns are the nations they rule.
The woman you saw is the great city that rules over the kings of the earth. (Revelation 17:18)
And the ten horns which you saw upon the beast, these will hate the whore, and will make her desolate and naked, and will eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. (Revelation 17:16)
Where is the world’s largest and most widely accepted religion’s headquarters?
The pattern for religion as well as politics has been that everything starts out to be good and genuine. Then, over the course of time, self-righteousness and greed corrupt the original purpose which is soon forgotten. Look in the Old Testament where the Israelites were wandering in the desert those forty years. Look how many times they had forgotten who brought them out of slavery. Look how many times their faith was replaced with whining and complaining. With that in mind, look at the founding fathers of the United States of America. They all give credit to the Lord for their victories and progress. I believe the fanatical activists of today have misunderstood the meaning of separation of church and state. Apparently, they understand it as elimination of church in state. That’s OK though, God is in control. He’s the One who puts the authorities in their place and it’s those authorities whom He will judge the harshest.
I can’t remember where I heard this phrase (probably from Mysteries of the Bible on A&E) but it goes something like, "God gave mankind Truth, then the Devil came along and made religion out of it." The whore of Babylon is that religious philosophy which started with Cain and his creation of the worship of Baal. Cain’s supreme female deity was Ea. Over the course of time, after Nimrod’s wife was deified, Ea evolved into Isthar, the queen of heaven. Afterwards, Isthar became the Ashtoreth of the Canaanites, the Astarte of the Phoenicians and then became the Diana, Artemis, Venus and Aphrodite of the Greeks and the Romans. What we call mythology today was revered religious practice for the ancients. Today, the worship of this supreme female deity has come into the Christian circles under the guise of Mary, whom those in spiritual Babylon call the mother of God and queen of heaven. Whoa! Am I saying that Mary is the whore of Babylon? Absolutely not! Only God is omnipresent, omniscient and omnipotent. Only He can be everywhere at once, know everything at all times and have the power to make all things happen. Wouldn’t you rather talk to The One Who Is Almighty? He hears all prayers and He’s the One who decides if your prayers should be answered. He’s not going to answer your prayers if they’re not directed to Him. Remember, He’s a Jealous God. If you do have prayers answered that weren’t asked from Him, there’s a strong chance you’re being played the fool by mischievous spirits. It’s the Lord who has everyone’s prayers in a bottle, not Mary. Mary is a created child of God just as you and I. God does not listen to the prayers of those Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. (Romans 1:25) How can the created be the mother of the Creator? There’s nowhere in the Bible that says that Mary would mediate or intercede for us in our prayers or even be the refuge of our souls. This was another teaching from the ‘Mysteries’ religion. We are in the age of Grace where mediators between God and man are not needed. We do not need someone living or dead other than Jesus to intercede for us to the Father. Jesus paid an awesome price for this privilege. Don’t let His sacrifice be in vain for you personally. Our Father wants us to talk to Him through His only begotten Son as a way to acknowledge and give reverence for His sacrifice. And whatsoever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask any thing in my name, I will do it. (John 14:13-14)
We are ONLY supposed to PRAY TO GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST.
He that sacrifices (serves) unto any god, save unto the LORD only, he will be utterly destroyed. (Exodus 22:20) Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray. (Psalm 5:2) Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD. (Psalm 14:4) Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips. (Psalm 16:4) I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: then will I be saved from mine enemies. (Psalm 18:3) Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD's anger. (Zephaniah 2:3)
Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man (no one) comes to the Father, but by me. (John 14:6) Jesus said to him, I have been with you a long time, and yet have you not known me, Philip? he that has seen me has seen the Father; and how then can you say, Show us the Father? (John 14:9)
The reason we say, "In Jesus’ name," or "In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit," is because by saying this, we acknowledge to the Father that we recognize and accept the awesome price our Lord paid for us. By His sacrifice we can talk directly to the Father and have the promise of eternity in paradise. Only by the name of Jesus will the Father Almighty hear our prayers. By the way, when we say "In the name of Jesus," we are saying, "In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit," for the name of Jesus basically means all three.
It is not in God’s Word that Mary would answer the prayers of the people or that any other saint or angel for that matter would answer prayers. When Jesus was told that His mother was outside waiting for Him, He said, "Who are my mothers?" Frankly, I truly believe the apparitions of Mary are deceiving spirits in disguise. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works. (2Corinthians 11:14-15) ..by peace shall destroy many.. (Daniel 8:25) Satan and his ministers can appear in any form. If they think that they can take everyone’s focus off Jesus by appearing as an apparition of Mary or by making religious relics cry or drink milk or wine, then this would be very simple for them to do. It seems today that many people consider anything coming from the spiritual realms as truth. For some people, if they see and talk to a spirit and the spirit tells them something apparently good or enlightening, they believe it as if it came from God or at least as truth; like reincarnation for instance and some of the ridiculous prophecies of the future people hear that don’t coincide with the Bible.
And He said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead. (Luke 16:31) Jesus Christ rose from the dead and more than 500 people were witnesses to this truth, yet people still don’t believe.
We are all children of God which makes us little gods. Worship Him, all you gods! (Psalm 97:7) Any prayers to anyone other than God the Father could be considered worshipping other gods. It’s like each one of us are gathered together to see the Lord in concert. The Lord has given all His children tickets to see His Glory. Each ticket tells us (deservingly) exactly where to stand (our place in life) as we anticipate witnessing His Awesome-ness. Only if we stay exactly where He wants us (be honest and humble) can everyone see His Glory clearly. When someone is lifted (idolized) upon the shoulders of another, (exalted by others or self) then those behind (who wish to understand) cannot see their Father (‘s Truth) as they were meant to. It’s our Father’s will that all His children can clearly see (know) Him.
Here’s one example of the many practices the pagans have brought into the house of Christianity: Can anyone truly say that there’s a difference between praying to the god of prosperity and praying to the patron saint of prosperity? A person doesn’t walk into a fast-food restaurant and go to the one flipping the burgers to order. No, they go to the cashier who takes the order. Angels can only do what they’re told by God the Father. He’s the One who hears our prayers. If you call yourself a Christian and pray to saints, even Mary, the earthly mother of Jesus, you are in a state of spiritual confusion. Babylon means confusion and the Lord says, Flee out of the midst of Babylon (Come out of this worldly Confusion!), and deliver every man his soul: be not cut off in her iniquity; for this is the time of the LORD's vengeance; he will render unto her a recompence. Babylon has been a golden cup in the LORD's hand, that made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunken of her wine; therefore the nations are mad. (Jeremiah 51:6-7) Once a person learns that there’s no difference between praying to the patron saint of something and praying to a god of something, this knowledge makes them accountable. Wake up you people who pray to anyone other than the Father through the Son and by the Holy Spirit. The LORD will be terrible unto them: for He will famish all the gods of the earth; and men will worship Him, every one from his place, even all the isles of the heathen. (Zephaniah 2:11)
#1 Thou shalt have no other gods before me. (Exodus 20:3)
We should not put any of God’s children living or dead between Him and ourselves, being also children of God, nor should we exalt anyone; living or dead, in the place of, before or above God.
#2 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. (Exodus 20:4)
We should not have anything that represents anything of the earth or in the heavens, man-made or natural, to use as a tool, device or medium to communicate to souls passed on (which is forbidden anyway) or to communicate with our Father/Creator of the universe. God is Spirit, and we’re to worship Him in spirit; without the use of any physical props to be ritualized in tradition.
Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. (Exodus 20:5-6)
Neither should we bow down to anyone or anything on earth; man-made or natural as an object of worship, or a medium for prayer, such as a statue or a shrine.
Think about it. When the real Jesus returns all religion will be one because God is with us and it won’t be a religion as much as an international philosophy and way of life. People all around the world will know Jesus is Lord and every knee will bow and tongue confess (Philippians 2:10-11) that Jesus is indeed The Lord and King of all God’s creations. Lucifer on the other hand is the great imitator. When he comes, he will try to spiritually unite the world by his supernatural powers to get everyone to believe that he is the Christ. An unsuspecting, spiritually naive majority will be overwhelmed by a very spiritual experience. This will be the Great Apostasy or falling away. How many of the angels in the first heaven and earth fell away? They will believe that truth is among us, so there won’t be any reason to continue worshipping the unseen. Religion as we know it will cease.
And the ten horns which you saw upon the beast, these will hate the whore, and will make her desolate and naked, and will eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. (Revelation 17:16) Symbolically, the number ‘ten’ and the ‘horns’ both represent authority. (For example, the Ten Commandments and the horns of a crown.) This is the rejoicing city that dwelt carelessly, that said in her heart, I am, and there is none beside me: how is she become a desolation, a place for beasts to lie down in! every one that passeth by her shall hiss, and wag his hand. (Zephaniah 2:15) She’s the one that says, "We were first and everyone else broke away from us."
God is Spirit and His Spirit fills the universe, with us floating within Him and He within us. Our relationship with our Father is personal and should be in secret. It should not be obvious to the public that we are children of God by what we have or say. We shouldn’t have to put on clothes that tell everybody, hey look at me, I’m a Christian or hey look at me, I’m an authority in the church. Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts. (Luke 20:46) We shouldn’t have to do rituals that proclaim to everyone, hey look at me, I’m praying. But you, when you pray, enter into your closet, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father which is in secret; and your Father which sees in secret will reward you openly. (Matthew 6:6) Our Christianity should be evident by the lives we live. Some people seem to think that if they say they’re Christian they don’t have to pay the consequences for their actions or that their punishment shouldn’t be as harsh as the non-Christians.
