Pamphlet 1460 Hos 14-5

They truly believe that the church they go to is a Beth-el and not a Beth-aven.

There is a great famine in our land,
"not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD (Amos 8:11).

The truth has been cut off, our people do not know His Word
so how could they possibly obey His voice?

Answer: They can't and they don't! They worship and serve God after the traditions of man not according to that which is written in His Word! Soooo... they reap what they sow.

Hosea 8:13 They sacrifice flesh for the sacrifices of mine offerings, and eat it; but the LORD accepteth them not; now will He remember their iniquity, and visit their sins: they shall return to Egypt.
It is so true that our brothers and sisters whom we love very much truly believe
that God approves of their sacrifices and offerings.

They truly believe that the church they go to is a Beth-el and not a Beth-aven.

Remember what we covered in Jeremiah
and in Hosea 6:6 which we covered just a few short studies ago?

Our Father wants His children's "love" and He wants them to "know" Him (through His Word)
rather than all their burnt offerings (sacrifices).

But they are so deceived by the traditions of men perpetuated by the churches
and the many ministers who come in the name of Christ,
that they believe that what they do is pleasing to our Father!

You can be sure most of them have never read the Book of Hosea
and you can be sure that they have no idea, no clue,
that they are spiritual whores!

Again, we not judging nor condemning them.

Our Father loves all of His children very dearly
and He will see to it that they are chastised and that He is brought into their remembrance.

But because they have forgotten Him and because they have not "considered" His Word
but have become spiritual harlots by allowing themselves to be deceived by the traditions of men,
they shall return to Egypt, which is to return to captivity! They shall reap what they have sown!

Note: We're not talking about again going into physical captivity;  We're talking about spiritual captivity, as in worshiping the anti-christ instead of the real Jesus. This is end time prophesy, it's our souls we are in danger of loosing, not our physical body!

The Assyrian, as antichrist, shall soon come again and take them captive.

[14] For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and buildeth temples; and Judah hath multiplied fenced cities: but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the palaces thereof.
Just as the House of Israel has forgotten who they are,
i.e. that they are true Israel, they have also forgotten who their true Maker is
because they have not listened to His voice, His Word.

But they continue to build one church after another
and both Israel and Judah think they can protect themselves with "fortification made by man"
instead of relying upon their Maker.

Too bad, for it is written:

Galatians 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
Deceptionas defined by Webster is "believing something to be true when it really isn't"!

To study the Bible is the noblest of all pursuits; to understand it, the highest of all goals.
We pray that with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, you accomplish both.
