Pamphlet 1451
Hos kc 13-1
Blow ye the trumpet! Sound the alarm! Warn our people!
It is the dawn of a New Millennium
and the prophecies contained in the Word of God
are rapidly coming to pass exactly
as they are written,
exactly as God said they would
in both the Old and the New Testaments.
You see, there eventually comes a time when the last grains
of sand
finally run out of the hour glass signaling that "Time's
Up"!
We are now down to those last few grains of sand, or as Jesus Christ said in Luke 21:31 "So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand."
We now see those things He spoke of coming to pass.
We have also been studying the great Book of Hosea,
the book written concerning the salvation of the 10 tribes
of the house of Israel,
which details the adulterous (idolatrous) transgressions
of God's children
and their ensuing chastisement that they were duly warned
would befall them
should they choose to break His covenant.
In other words, Israel's captivity
by the Assyrian
and their subsequent scattering
among the nations was written and pre-determined to befall them
long before they actually took
place.
AND,
they were given sufficient notice
and warned by the true prophets of God
that unless they repented and turned
from their whoredoms and returned to their true Husband,
the LORD God who brought them out
of the bondage of Egypt with a mighty hand,
they would face the swift onslaught
of the Assyrian and be taken away captive.
However, as it is written, they preferred listening to
the soothsaying priests
who told them not to worry and that God would protect
them from the Assyrian.
I guess they were both in error, weren't they?
They should have listened to the Word of God instead of heeding the words of men, especially preachers!
The rule you should ALWAYS go by
is to NEVER let any man,
this man or any other,
convince you that the Word of God
says this or that
without any documentation and more
importantly,
without you first checking it out
in His Word.
And so it came to pass exactly as
it was written,
exactly as the prophets of God
WARNED them would happen,
that the Assyrian did come swiftly
against the house of Israel because of their idolatry
and took them all away (2 Kings
17:4-6).
Let it be known, therefore, to the
children of God in these last days,
that the prophecy and the history
stand written and they combine to confirm that the Word of God is true!
Why is that important?
Because what happened historically
to the House of Israel
was a type of that which WILL befall
us in these last days.
Do you remember Paul's words in 1 Cor. 10:11 which we quoted in our previous study? "Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come."
Only this time it will be a spiritual captivity!
So the question now is, "Are you are a watchman of God?"
Do you know the duties of a watchman?
Do you know that His watchmen of
this final generation
are those sons and daughters spoken
of by Joel the prophet
and quoted by Peter on Pentecost
Day in Acts 2,
who would understand (See)
the visions of the prophets
and teach and warn God's children
that the Assyrian, antichrist,
is soon coming BEFORE the return
of Jesus Christ (2 Thes. 2)?
If you know that and you are one of His watchmen, then next verse is written to you.
Hosea 8:1 Set the trumpet to thy mouth. He shall come as an eagle against the house of the LORD, because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law.
Sound the alarm!
Warn our people!
He, the Assyrian, the antichrist, shall come swiftly,
as an eagle (or vulture) descends,
against the House of Israel because they have broken
His covenant
and played the role of the harlot though their idolatry!
Do you think that Hosea is being told to preach some "new"
revelation to the House of Israel,
something they did not or should not already know?
No, it was already written in God's Word, in the "law"!
Deut. 28:49 The LORD shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flieth; a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand;
Then you have a "VISION" in your
mind of how the "Assyrian" (antichrist, the false messiah)
shall come "Fast and Furious" against
our people in these last days!
Plus you have the historical type to serve as an ensample!
So blow ye the trumpet! Sound the alarm, watchman!
Hosea 8:2 Israel shall cry unto me, My God, we know thee.
When the sand finally runs out of the hour glass in the
final "hour" of this last generation
and it is too late to heed the warning of the trumpet,
then shall our people shall cry unto God, as they did
in the past, "We know thee, Lord!"
Hmmm, this will once again pose a severe credibility problem
for them because obviously they did not believe His Word
nor heed His warning!
If this next statement comes as
shock to you, then so be it,
but unless you are newly converted
Christian,
i.e. you have been a Christian
for some time now,
then to SAY that you KNOW the
Lord God, the "Living Word of God",
and yet you do not KNOW the
"Written Word of God", makes you a liar!"
1 John 2:4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.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.
