Foolish Courage

post 192

Someone recently recommended; “You should send that last post to Glenn Beck and warn him of what he is about to do!”
But lets think about this:

What do I tell him?
“Don’t defend Israel against Radical Islam?”
Of course not; I also believe Israel desperately needs help as does the rest of the world against this rising threat.
Can I recommend we trust God to defend Israel and the world?
Not according to the last 2000 years of events of history, nor according to God’s own prophecy!
The reason God has not helped the Jews for the past 2000 years is frankly irrelevant to them now. The fact is that all they see is God has not helped.
So where are they to turn?
To the democratic religious people of the world.
And so the logic of this is flawless.

To add confidence that this is the right course, I already confessed; It will work!
The collective power of the people of the world united in a single purpose will indeed succeed in overpowering the great threat of Islam and climb onto its back to go for a wild ride!
How do I know?

“Woe to the multitude of many people, which make a noise like the noise of the seas; and to the rushing of nations, that make a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters!” Isaiah 17:12
These are the huge masses of the world, who learn of their collective power. Woe to them!

“And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.” Revelation 17:15
The great and powerful whore is established on the huge masses that used their collective power to bring her forth.

“And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.” Revelation 17:18
That city is Babylon (Revelation 17:18) but the mystery means she is more. She is an idea of great power (Revelation 17:5) over even the greatest Empire the earth has ever seen.

“I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns." Revelation 17:7
The city idea of Babylon finds her continuance on the back of the specifically identified beast we previously spent several posts positively identifying as the return of the Islamic Caliphate Empire. The woman has no endurance without that empire. (more in later posts)

Carrieth 941 bastazo; perhaps remotely derived from the base of 939 (through the idea of removal); to lift, literally or figuratively (endure, declare, sustain, receive, etc.)

Each of these four verses is backed up by many others to tell us this truth.
I had already seen the purpose of the City as a sanctuary from the oppressive force of Islam, but until Mr. Beck made his declaration of collecting all religions to Jerusalem in defense against Radical Islam, I did not see the cause that would bring her about.

* * *

Only Preparation:
Notice that in the world today, neither the Empire of Islam, nor the City of Babylon, have yet materialized.
What we are seeing at this point in time for both, is the conception of them.
And likewise, we are seeing the pot of Ezekiel 24:3-4 being prepared to enter the final stage for the filthiness that seems unable to be purged;

“And utter a parable unto the rebellious house, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD;
Set on a pot, set it on, and also pour water into it:
Gather the pieces thereof into it, even every good piece, the thigh, and the shoulder; fill it with the choice bones.” Ezekiel 24:3-4

We know by the history of the sacrifices found in Leviticus 7:32-33,10:14 that the shoulder is the sacrifice of Heave offering from off the Peace offering.
And from Genesis 24:2, 32:25, 47:27, Numbers 5:21 that the thigh as the cymbal of power or strength is the place where promises are made and kept.
But with the addition of the choice bones we see that this pot, though probably including these concepts, is simply referring to the best items that make for a good stew to eat. But as a sacrificial offering to God it perhaps represents the best we have to offer him from our peace offering as our vows to him with our beings.(bones)

The point is that what was used in the pot was all good food. No, it was the best.
There was no fault in the items included in the cooking.
The fault was in the preparation of the meal. The scum that naturally comes out from those ingredients was not properly drawn off, but cooked in.

“Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose scum is therein, and whose scum is not gone out of it!” Ezekiel 24:6

and because Jerusalem did not draw off her scum, but let it “cook” within her, the Lord GOD gave them an example of the disgusting perspective in which he saw it;

“Heap on wood, kindle the fire, consume the flesh, and spice it well, and let the bones be burned.” Ezekiel 24:10
This represents God's rejection of the disgusting offering of Jerusalem, and his purging reaction of the Diaspora.

This pot of Jerusalem's overcooked and poorly tended previously good worship gone bad, was now intentionally left on the fire by God and the flames were increased. It was cooked so long the water boiled out, the meat was burned to a crisp and even the bones were burnt!
That is representing some serious and intentional neglect by God which was added to the original neglect by the Jews that ruined the food in the first place!.. but it ain’t done yet!

“Then set it empty upon the coals thereof, that the brass of it may be hot, and may burn, and that the filthiness of it may be molten in it, that the scum of it may be consumed.” Ezekiel 24:11

Something changed three times in the process we just observed.
It was the same process of neglect that turned good offering (themselves) into filthiness, that God then continued still further but in a hotter fire for a different purpose, that after everything was completely consumed, was put back in the now extremely hot seasoned coals to purify the pot because it was still not yet purged. But to do that, the pot of brass has to get seriously hot to the point of melting!

So what was the scum of Jerusalem that they did not draw off?

“She had wearied herself with lies, and her great scum went not forth out of her: her scum shall be in the fire.
In thy filthiness is lewdness: because I have purged thee, and thou wast not purged, thou shalt not be purged from thy filthiness any more, till I have caused my fury to rest upon thee.” Ezekiel 24:12-13

Lewdness 2154 zimmah; from 2161; a plan, especially a bad one. [other words of description]: - heinous crime, mischief, purpose, thought, wicked (device, mind).

Don't miss the very first root cause of the lewdness of bad ideas: Lies.
When you lie to yourself, you create an environment where ALL your ideas are bad.
One such persistent lie that continually trips them up is self-justification. Such wrong perspective keeps them blaming everyone else for their problems: It was the Romans that drove us away, It was the Germans that horribly abused us, It is the Imperialist Americans that tie our hands…

Now thinking of this three stage parable, when do you suppose God purged Jerusalem like the second stage?
Perhaps over the long hot fire of the past 2000 year Diaspora? In the hot ovens that literally turned flesh to ashes and burnt their bones, Perhaps?
You see, the scriptures are not a poetic fantasy to describe a religion that makes man feel good about himself.
God is serious when he says something, and expects us to comprehend it in reality.

And now that the Jews have returned miraculously, it doesn’t seem that the scum has been purged from the heart of Jerusalem's pot. In fact what they are now proposing is a really bad idea; from God’s perspective it is spiritual lewdness!
The Jewish nation as God’s spiritual wife, had been put away from God for a very long time because of her spiritual adultery, Then a long time later, God had mercy and went and found her and called her home.
But as expected such a separation for such a cause would result in an awkward relationship for a while, but in the awkward period a criminal threatened to break down the door and kill her.
Does she cry out to her husband who had so much love he went to find her and bring her home in the first place?
No. She makes a call to all her former lovers; all the “other guys” (gods) to come and help her. This is the scum; the bad idea, that was not yet purged from the pot though the goods were consumed in the flames.
The results don’t look favorable according to the verse of prophecy!
What is coming as a result of such filthiness of lewdness, is a fire so hot it will turn the pot molten!
That is far hotter than the purging fire of the second phase Diaspora.
And just as the Nazi ovens consumed their flesh and burnt their bones, I submit that Jerusalem the seething pot will utterly turn molten in real life terminology.

Do I write this in self-righteous judgment?
God forbid!
I have previously shown that America has sinned perhaps even greater than the Jews because we have been offered and now abuse God's grace.
Shall we then "skip" a similar judgment?
Not if God is Just.

* * *

Now lets go back to Ezekiel 11:2-3 to understand Jerusalem’s perspective;
“Then said he unto me, Son of man, these are the men that devise mischief, and give wicked counsel in this city:
Which say, It (the punishment) is not near; Let us build houses: this city is the caldron, and we be the flesh.” Ezekiel 11:2-3

What does that mean?
The counselors of Jerusalem are saying; We are not going to be punished by God, because this very city of Jerusalem is the pot of sacrifice unto God and we are the flesh of the sacrifice. God does not reject the sacrifice and neither will we be rejected.
Yet they do not consider the good food of the sacrifice having been disgustified by the scum, has long been turned to charcoal from neglect. So they will merrily offer it to God anyway, expecting him to be pleased!
"...In thy filthiness is lewdness: because I have purged thee, and thou wast not purged..."

So God continues;
“Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, O son of man…
Ye have multiplied your slain in this city, and ye have filled the streets thereof with the slain.” Ezekiel 11:4,6

God is not saying the counselors have done the slaying, he is saying that their counsel is the cause of the horrors to come upon the city.
“The blood is on your hands”, and the blood will be great.
Yes this happened once before in 70 AD,
The last time they rejected their Messiah and they were cooked, and this time they are rejecting their God. Why would the results not happen also happen again? And this time even more because they were just purged in the fire, but the scum is still there.

“Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Your slain whom ye have laid in the midst of it, they are the flesh, and this city is the caldron: but I will bring you forth out of the midst of it. Ye have feared the sword; and I will bring a sword upon you, saith the Lord God.” Ezekiel 11:7-8

Are they now not fearing the sword? Is that not what is driving their actions of calling on all the gods of the earth for aid?
Because the “bringing forth” is couched on both ends by the sword God will bring upon the city, we can understand this will be a slavery and not a rescue.

Please understand I think Mr. Beck is a very great and honorable man. It breaks my heart to include him in these counselors of Jerusalem.
But to gather all the gods of the earth into the Holy City of God, to beseech them for their aid against Radical Islam is the greatest offense that Jerusalem can do before their God!
How can this be made anymore clear?!

* * *

But I thought you said they would succeed against Islam?!
Yes I did. And so they shall…sort of.
How do I know for sure?

Because scripture tells us that the whore will rule at the same time the beast does. (Revelation 13:1 + 17:15 = 17:3)
The beast is now rising and so the woman must rise too.
And the woman will ride the beast.

The Mongoose of Hawaii did diminish the rat problem, but became a new and greater problem to compound the remaining rat problem.

* * *

The two shall become one:
Note: the woman and the beast are not two competing empires according to Daniel 2:41 they are one empire of confliction represented by two feet of iron mixed with clay.

The woman rides the beast, but the beast does not like it!
“And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.” Revelation 17:16
But this result is still a long ways off. She has not yet been born of the ocean of people, to sit on the beast.

I think we already covered that the ten horns on the empire beast are ten kings of ten kingdoms represented as ten toes/horns (Daniel 2:42, 7:7,24, Revelation 12:3,13:1,17:3)
So how do these ten kings of the Islamic Empire come up with enough power to destroy the great city that has ridden them for who-knows-how-long?

They give all their collective power to one man for that purpose. (Daniel 8:24a, Revelation 17:12-13) But although the purpose is their hatred of her, the design is the LORD’s to judge her. (Revelation 17:17) (more on the cause of her judgments in later posts)
Do not misread verse 14 to suppose they give their strength to the beast to make war with the Lamb, that is only a description of what they do, to identify them by. Their hatred that brings the Antichrist is the desire to destroy the international city of Babylon.

“And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate… For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.” Revelation 17:16-17

But this all happens down the line. This is not current events.

* * *

Current events are those events that bring these entities about.
Current events is the conception of the Caliphate which Mr. Beck himself recognizes has already been conceived, and therefore current events must also be the conception of the Whorish city that rises from the sea of humanity. (Revelation 17:1 + Isaiah 17:12)

A whore is a woman that sells herself to many men.
Prophetically a spiritual whore is an entity of humanity that sells herself to many gods.

Regardless of the validity of even a single one of my interpretations of prophecy, it cannot be denied by any investigator of bible prophecy, that to gather all religions to Jerusalem of all places, (God’s holy city) for the purpose of collectively resisting Radical Islam, is to greatly offend the historic God of the Jews who has longed to be their savior but is constantly denied. It is to repeat the sins that God punished them for in the past when they turned to Egypt instead of to God, for defense against the threat of Assyria.

“And the king of Assyria found conspiracy in Hoshea: for he had sent messengers to So King of Egypt…” II Kings 17:4

“…how wilt thou…put thy trust on Egypt…And am I now come up without the LORD against this land to destroy it?...” Isaiah 36:9-10

“(God) To whom our fathers would not obey, but thrust him from them, and in their hearts turned back again into Egypt, Saying unto Aaron, Make us gods to go before us: for as for this Moses, which brought us out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.” “Then God turned, and gave them up to worship the host of heaven…” (other gods) Acts 7:40,41a


And while we know for an unalterable fact by prophecy that the international city of wickedness will come, the part Jerusalem plays this year in bringing it to pass, is at this point not required as that is not written in prophecy, only implied. In otherwords it is still their choice to do or not do.
And regardless if Jerusalem will indeed play that suggested part, Mr. Beck does not have to be the instigator. If it is not him then it will be someone else. Therefore it is my earnest prayer that Mr. Beck will realize what he is about to do and repent of it.

But at the present time, Glenn Beck has chosen his god. It is the god of Mormonism. Mr. Beck IS a worshiper of one of those other gods that are being called to Jerusalem.
Until THAT perspective changes, it would be pointless to attempt to persuade him from his current understanding of “help” though it will be worth an earnest try.

* * *

So what are we to do? Just stand by and watch Islam conquer the world?
Not exactly, but outside the secret place of God, hiding in his shadow from the burning sunlight of the Evil one, The right answer will appear to be just that.

If the world does not gather collectively to cry out to all the many gods to help Israel, then just maybe in the face of great probable destruction the Jews might just cry out to Jehovah God for help.
THAT is what God wants them to do!

"If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." II Chronicles 7:14

But instead, like the dying catholic, we offer them the Hail Mary of the international Rosary of pluralism to occupy their hopes in their last few breaths; In other words they will cry out to those who cannot truly help, and thereby offend the one who can.

Are we guiltless if we support this endeavor?

* * *

So if this plan of Glenn Beck’s works, what is the problem?
The problem is that we have just sealed the horrible punishment of the Jews for choosing this path. But it won’t come immediately.

Looking back to Ezekiel 24 regarding the cooking pot parable; verse 2 explains that the last punishment, (verse 11) though delayed until the cooking part is fully done and the results tested, (verse 13) will none the less surely come because it was documented on the specific day it was determined: (I submit that day to be
in August of this year)

“Son of man, write thee the name of the day, even of this same day: the king of Babylon set himself against Jerusalem this same day.” Ezekiel 24:2

But Nebuchadnezzar did not come to destroy Jerusalem for another 7 years.
Does that remind you of a post about November 2nd,
post 092 "your-doing-what?” A post I myself did not understand at the time. (http://when-did-reason-die.blogspot.com/2010/10/your-doing-what-october-16-2010-have.html)

The Great collective voice of the masses in Jerusalem will be all the filthiness that God can take, having just cooked the tar out of it in an attempt to purge it.
That event will seal the date as sure, that the Ezekiel seething pot will burn for real this time!

I cannot imagine God's mercy on anyone participating in that!
I beg you now, if you are Jewish, or Gentile, flee such an event of offense to God.

* * * * * * *

This post and the previous sent to Glenn Beck via email, 5/18/2011
This post has been significantly enhanced for clarification 5/19/2011, 5/21/2011 though the original concepts remain unchanged.

What I neglected to include is the correct action that we should take:
Similar to, but nothing like, Mr. Beck's appeal to all religions of mankind to arrive in Jerusalem and make a collective appeal to their gods for help;
The correct call would be exclusively to all the faithful in JAH alone to come to Jerusalem and appeal to Him alone for rescue. (Exodus 20:1-3)
The pot is acceptable, the goods in the pot are acceptable, only the scum that naturally occurs in the process is unacceptable. That scum is the "bad ideas" that naturally result in any healthy process. Those lewdness's must be found and skimmed off the offering to God if he is to accept it. To cook them in as acceptable, is to blaspheme the name of God.
"...God is light, and in him is no darkness at all." I John 1:5b


"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 shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments." Exodus 20:5-6

But who gets the glory and praise if the prayers to all gods is answered?
Is GOD an equal to the others? Does JEHOVAH work in unison with a co-op of gods to bring result?

If all gods are called to Jerusalem, there is one God guaranteed NOT to come.
So when this appeal actually brings the illusion of the desired result, I testify for the GOD of gods that it will not come from Him as aid.

LORD 3068 See Yehovah.
JAH 3050 Yahh: Contracted from 3068 and meaning the same; Jah, the sacred name.
GOD 4030 maguwr: the same as 4022; preciousness, i.e. a gem.
4022 meged; from an unused root properly meaning to be eminent; properly a distinguished thing; hence something valuable, as a product or fruit.
JEHOVAH 3068 Yehovah: from 1961; (the) self-Existent or Eternal; Jewish national name of God.
YAHWEH: A pronounceable version of the unpronounceable name of God too Holy to speak with the unworthy lips of man.
