Pamphlet 1812 Malachi kc 4-2
The two houses of Israel, Judah with Benjamin (House of Judah) and the 10 northern tribes (House of Israel), are separate "sticks" (Ezek. 37) at this time, i.e. they are two separate branches! And Ezek. 37 declares that they SHALL NOT be joined back together UNTIL Christ returns! So how is it that when Christian ministers speak of Israel they speak only of Jews? Go figure.
Remember again to whom this Book of Malachi, My Messenger, is written... even to true Israel today. So the question is, if we are all of one earthly family and God is our heavenly Father and the Creator of us all, then how is that we are so unfaithful one to another? How is it that "many shall be offended (skandalizo) and shall betray one another (Mat. 24:10)"? It is because of the polluting and profaning ("chalal" = to break one's word) the covenant of our fathers, even His Word? To wit, the majority of those who come in the name of Christ claiming to be His messengers do not know and therefore cannot teach us the great heritage of our people. They do not know that many in this nation (America) are of true Israel, the "sons and daughters" of those fathers with whom God made His covenant!Mal. 2:10
Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers?
The two houses of Israel, Judah with Benjamin (House of Judah) and the 10 northern tribes (House of Israel), are separate "sticks" (Ezek. 37) at this time, i.e. they are two separate branches! And Ezek. 37 declares that they SHALL NOT be joined back together UNTIL Christ returns! So how is it that when Christian ministers speak of Israel they speak only of Jews? Go figure.[11] Judah hath dealt treacherously, and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah hath profaned the holiness of the LORD which He loved, and hath married the daughter of a strange god.
Even so, both houses have "dealt treacherously"! Though they do it in ignorance (for they lack the knowledge of His Word), most Christian's have been unfaithful to the One to whom they claim to be betrothed. In other words, they profess to be Christ's, to belong only to Him, yet they have committed an abomination by whoring after the abominable one, i.e. by embracing the religion of the false messiah partaking of his unholy covenant... Mystery Babylon the Great, mother of harlots! And so it is they "marry the daughter", the harlot, the religion even of someone else, a strange god indeed, the false messiah!
Our brothers and sisters do stumble at His Word because of the "mystery of iniquity" (2 Thes. 2) which is the "musterion", the deceptive indoctrination into religious rites, of "iniquity" which is the traditions of men, i.e. lawlessness because they are contrary to His Word. Since this religion (disguised as Christianity) of iniquity is already at work it shall cause God's people to stumble and fall in the great falling away (the apostasy) when Satan comes to this earth claiming to be God. In other words, they shall be "taken" by the false messiah who appears first because they will believe he is Jesus Christ, their bridegroom who has come for them. They shall be as the first one "taken" in the field, wed out of season, seduced by the false-christ, Satan. "Woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!", Christ said in Matthew 24:19. He was speaking not about the flesh but about those who will have been spiritually seduced (taken) and spiritually impregnated (in their minds) by the false messiah who appears first. Therefore, take heed to your spirit and stay in His Word, trusting and believing in that Word, else you will be ensnared and stumble and fall with both houses when the abomination of desolation comes to Jerusalem because you cannot tell one rock from the other. "Their rock is not as our Rock! (Deut. 32:31)."
Again, they stumble and fall and are taken (wed) to the "abomination of desolation", the abominable one (the false-christ) spoken of by Daniel the prophet, who shall come and stand in the holy place claiming to be God. This is the "abomination committed in Israel and in Jerusalem" we just read of in Mal. 2:11. Israel is to be the virgin bride of Christ (2 Cor. 11:2) but most Christians will have been found "unfaithful" having dealt treacherously! It is a fact, for it is written, that not all those who claim to be Christian are going to "be His" when He returns. Why not? They will have already attended the wrong wedding, the first one!Isaiah 8:14
And He shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.[15] And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.
The word "ready" comes from the old noun "heteos" which means "fitness"! These Christians who were "ready" were still faithful virgins who had not dealt treacherously, i.e. had not been unfaithful to the bridegroom by jumping in bed with antichrist at the first wedding!Matthew 25:10
And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with Him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
Christ did not know them for they never spent any time with Him (in His Word) and therefore they did not know Him! What then shall happen to those who "commit the abomination" in Israel?[11] Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.[12] But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
Mal. 2:12
The LORD will cut off the man that doeth this, the master and the scholar, out of the tabernacles of Jacob, and him that offereth an offering unto the LORD of hosts.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.
