The
Christian Churches are going to eat these dung cakes?
Before we witness
what is about to be demonstrated,
it is worth reminding
ourselves that "bread"
is always symbolic
of "doctrine".
Jesus Christ,
the Word of God,
is that true
bread that came down from heaven
(even born in
the town called "House of Bread", Beth-lehem in Hebrew)
and is the daily
bread that we are to eat.
But there are
other "breads", other than the Word of God,
that are made
by man and fed to God's children.
They are the "traditions
of man".
Here are Christ's
words to His disciples concerning bread:
Matthew
16:11 How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning
bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the
Sadducees?
[12] Then understood
they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the
doctrine
of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
We are now
ready for the next scene.
Ezekiel
4:9 Take thou also unto thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentiles,
and millet, and fitches, and put them in one vessel, and make thee bread
thereof, according to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon thy
side, three hundred and ninety days shalt thou eat thereof.
I count 6
grains, a mixed bag of ingredients from which to make bread,
unlike the fine
meal used for delicate cakes (Gen 18:6).
The number "6"
is the number of "man".
666 is you-know-who!
Ezekiel
4:10 And thy meat which thou shalt eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels
a day: from time to time shalt thou eat it.
Twenty shekels
of bread is about 10 ounces per day
and that is barely
enough to sustain a person.
Ezekiel
4:11 Thou shalt drink also water by measure, the sixth part of an hin:
from time to time shalt thou drink.
About a pint
and a half of water per day is all he gets to drink too!
Ezekiel
4:12 And thou shalt eat it as barley cakes, and thou shalt bake it with
dung that cometh out of man, in their sight.
WHAT?
Mix in some "humanous
poopous"?
And make sure
everyone sees it!
(I was just getting
over the flying saucer thing and now this!
And what is this
play rated anyway? PG-13?)
Ezekiel
4:13 And the LORD said, Even thus shall the children of Israel eat their
defiled bread among the Gentiles, whither I will drive them.
The children
of Israel are going to eat these dung cakes?
Yes, they are!
The LORD God said
so!
They would be
scattered among the Gentiles
and eat their
defiled bread,
and they eat
it to this very day!
This is exactly
the PICTURE our Father wants us to SEE
regarding man's
religion.
Pretty graphic,
isn't it?
Man's
6 grain bread, his mixed bag of doctrines, is baked with man's dung. The
"man" whose dung it is mixed with is the "ish" (man) of Isaiah 14:15. It
is Satan's output, his crap, the "bread" of antichrist, and it is an abomination!
But I guess his nice little religious cakes, like the Rapture Theory, must
taste pretty good after all, for it is a very popular menu item. (Now you
know why their seats upon which they sit in church are called in pews.)
Have you noticed
that up to this point
Ezekiel hasn't
said much about the things he's had to do and the parts he's had to play?
He went to the
plain like a good watchman,
he built the
siege of Jerusalem model,
he placed the
iron bread griddle,
and is now willing
to lay laid on his side for 390 days.
But when asked
to eat these dung cakes,
made with man's
dung none the less,
he quickly objects,
"Ah, Lord GOD,
can I say something
here?"
Ezekiel
4:14 Then said I, Ah Lord GOD! behold, my soul hath not been polluted:
for from my youth up even till now have I not eaten of that which dieth
of itself, or is torn in pieces; neither came there abominable flesh into
my mouth.
He lets the
Lord know
that he has always
observed the health laws in Leviticus 11,
which the Lord
Himself gave.
God has to be
chuckling to Himself
as Ezekiel scrambles
to get out of this one! And Ezekiel
did good.
He made his point,
documenting his
argument from the Word.
(Of course God
knew all along that He wasn't going to make Ezekiel
actually eat
man's dung anyway.
Don't forget,
God created the
Irish too!)
Ezekiel
4:15 Then he said unto me, Lo, I have given thee cow's dung for man's
dung, and thou shalt prepare thy bread therewith.
The Lord
cuts him a real break here, huh?
Ezekiel
4:16 Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, behold, I will break the
staff of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight, and with
care; and they shall drink water by measure, and with astonishment:
Jesus Christ
is going to put an end to the "pollution"
which stems from
Jerusalem.
Yes, Christ did
break the "staff of bread"
in Jerusalem
at His first advent, when He was crucified on the cross.
Yet He will put
a permanent end to it at the sound of the 7th Trump,
at His second
advent.
Ezekiel
4:17 That they may want bread and water, and be astonied one
with another, and consume away for their iniquity.
You can read
of their dismay and astonishment
in Revelation
chapter 18. Meanwhile,
there are not
many pure,
undefiled bread
cakes to be found in the world.
We are in the
famine of the end times,
and it will get
a whole lot worse when the "dung flinger" himself arrives.
Amos
8:11 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine
in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing
the words of the LORD:
Not many
of God's children eat the scroll
within and without
that is laid before them,
yet most people have it available in their
very homes.
You now know what
they eat: "Dung Crisp", "Dung Toasties", and "Sugar Dung Pops".
Yummy!
We now continue
with Ezekiel's enactment
of the prophetic
judgments upon the city of Jerusalem.
He is portraying
it in a manner in which we can VISUALIZE
that city in
the midst of the nations and create a mental PICTURE,
even a "Virtual
Movie" in our mind's eye .
Remember Ezekiel
had taken a Babylonian brick
and etched the
city of Jerusalem on it
(showing that
Jerusalem rests upon uncleanness and confusion),
and laid it before
him, and set battle array against it.
He then set an
iron "bread" griddle between him and the city
to symbolize
his separation and protection,
and then he began
to show the city under siege.
The Lord then
told him to lie on his left side 390 days for the House of Israel
and then turn
over and lie on his right side 40 days for the House of Judah,
each day being
given for a year,
to show the length
of time of their respective punishments.
Also, during
this time period of Israel's punishment
he was to be
rationed bread and water,
consuming just
enough to survive.
And worse yet,
the bread he
was to eat was to be made
with a convoluted
blend of 6 grains mixed with man's dung
(which God then
allowed him to substitute with cow patties).
This symbolized
the defiled "doctrines"
that the children
of Israel would "eat" among the nations,
and they continue
to eat "doodoo bread" even to this very day.
God then promised
that He Himself would eventually
completely break
the "staff of bread"
(call it the
main source)
in Jerusalem,
which Jesus Christ
will accomplish at the sound
of the 7th Trump
when He returns.
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.
