Main reference : Rv 17-18
All nations have fallen and have become the possession of Satan, and maddening wine of adulteries comes out from the mouths of the pastors who have become Satan’s possession. At a time like this, where must the congregation members pray?
Because the Physical Israelites worshipped Gentile gods at the time of King Solomon, the 11 tribes in the North became the possession of the Gentiles and gave service in Samaria. One tribe in the South – the tribe of Judah—gave service in Jerusalem. Even the one tribe of Judah (Jerusalem) in the South betrayed God and became the possession of Gentiles (Isaiah 1).
Furthermore at the time of Jesus’ First Coming, Israel was held captive by the Gentiles (Roman Empire). It was during this time Jesus came and spoke with a Samaritan woman. He said at this time, ‘it is not in Samaria, nor in Jerusalem, but when you pray go into your room’ (refer to Jn 4). Why did prayers and service have to be done in their rooms and not in the temples? God was searching for those who were praying in rooms. What is the reason for this? At that time, just like the words of Isaiah, Israel was captured by the Gentiles, and the pastors became Gentile pastors, offering service worshiping Gentile gods. This is because of the maddening wine of adultery; Satan’s words came out of the mouths of these pastors who became Gentile pastors.
At the time when God and His son Jesus came, the actions of the pastors of that time were the actions of Satan, and the actions of an enemy. Having service together with them is listening to the words of Satan, and worshipping Satan himself. Of the prayers that are lifted up, there are prayers the Lord does not accept or listen to according to the words of Isaiah chapter 1.
Today is the end of the age as a result of the corruption of the world of religion, and the end of the era Satan controlled. All nations fell as a result of the maddening wine of adulteries, and have married the spirit of Satan (Rv 17-18). Will God really receive prayers lifted up to Him from a place like this? Even today, it is the time to go into our rooms to pray just like at the time of the First Coming.
At the time of Moses, God separated His people from the Gentiles, and the angels destroyed all the firstborns of the Egyptians. Also in Ezekiel chapter 9, a mark (seal) was placed on the foreheads of those who grieved and lamented over all the detestable things done in the city of Jerusalem. All those who did not have the mark were slaughtered. Even today, at a time when all nations have fallen, there are those who are sealed and those who are not. Those who are sealed will live, and foreigners (Gentiles) who are not sealed will be killed 1/3rd at a time (refer to Rv 8, 9).
Why is it that today, those who claim they are the most fervent believers do not believe in Jesus’ promises? Today there are the sealed people who are harvested, and the weeds that are not harvested. Of the two, whom will God save and whom will He throw out? Why do they not believe in the words of the Lord?
The Christian Council of Korea (CCK) split into two (CCK and the Committee to Countermeasure Cults [CCC]). They are calling each other cults. Is this what you call orthodox? Are they believers who truly believe in the Lord? Is this what you call the light and salt of the world? Would God really dwell at a place like this?
Look at the 12 tribes at Mt. Zion who have been sealed and harvested. They are the Light created according to the New Testament promises God made. People at that time called Jesus, who came as the Light in the name of God, a heretic, and now there are those who call the pastor, who has united with the spirit of Truth who comes in the name of Jesus, a heretic. This is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit (refer to Mt 12:31). Believers must discern for themselves which path is the road to salvation.

Mt 6 v 12: “Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.”
Despite this being what God’s word teaches us, I reckon if you can HONESTLY say that you have forgiven all your debtors you have serious skill! It is a challenge for us to really forgive from our hearts… the way God forgives.
It has been interesting for me, especially with the current affairs bombarding us these days, to see how the most offensive and judgemental statements I have read, have been written by Christians. Now of course, this is subjective and while these statements upset me they may not upset everyone. Ultimately, my opinion and feelings aren’t what matters… the real question should be: Do these actions and statements offend God? Impossible question?… well… How can we say that our own daily actions do not offend God if we do not know what does? Surely this is why we have the Bible, to teach us about God’s standard so that we can keep our covenant with Him and avoid offending him at all costs!
Chris·tian adj.
1. Professing belief in Jesus as Christ or following the religion based on the life
and teachings of Jesus. 2. Manifesting the qualities or spirit of Jesus; Christlike.
3. Showing a loving concern for others; humane.
(Granted… This is from a free online dictionary, so it would be foolish to trust it as being a true source!!) What does The Truth – Bible - say about God’s standard?
In Matthew 18 v 21-35, Jesus teaches about the Parable of the Unmerciful Servant. It’s a great story, but let’s understand God’s heart when he wrote this for us…
You’ve been living with your parents since birth, they have provided all you’ve ever needed. One day your Dad turns around and says “Right, you’re an adult now, it’s time to pay back all the expenses your mum and I have covered for the last 20 odd years”. Turns out, after doing the math, you owe your father an equivalent of about 15 years worth of salary, roughly amounting just over $2 BILLION (“10 thousand talents”). Now, unless you are a child of “Brangelina” there probably aint even a billionth of that in your account…Luckily for you, Daddy is really patient, generous and merciful! He follows his demand by saying “Never mind my boy, I did those things because I love you and you do not need to pay me back!” ANY grateful heart would remember that kind of grace forever more, and would live a life worthy of the kindness they were shown!
Instead, this kid, now very aware of the limited amounts in his savings, runs off and starts calling in his debtors. His one friend owes him about $2000, which is a lot of dosh!!! Who would just give that amount away?! (would you?… coz if you would you’ll find my bank details posted below… ) Instead of showing the same mercy and grace his own father just taught him to have, he forces his friend to pay every dollar back.
This is putting it all very mildly, since Jesus’ teachings tell us this friend was imprisoned until he could pay his debt.
It is blatant to see how this situation is wrong, but how can we say we forgive others and then proceed to seek and destroy people who have hurt us? How is it forgiveness to point our Christian fingers at nations, in the face of their devastation, and say that they deserve all that they are getting? Pointing a finger only proves that you are just as void of God’s love as your enemy is (Prv 17 v 9, 1 Pet 4 v 8)… ” because love covers over a multitude of sins.” Is it love that hates, and seeks revenge? God’s word hold the standard for justice… if men knew what real justice was would Jesus have been deprived of it at their hands!? (Is 53 v 8, Acts 8 v 33)
To be Christian is to be “Christ-like“. Even as Christ was being tortured and killed he never once hated, cursed, judged or hurt those doing him wrong (Lk 23 v 34) … Matthew 26 v 28 reminds us that we are actually that kid whose Father loved us enough to cancel all of our debt! Jesus paid the price for our sins with his perfect, sinless blood… HOW do you plan on repaying God for that?
If you are not forgiving others, God will not forgive you… that is the condition! (Mk 11 v 25, Lk 6 v 37) But it goes deeper still, because it is for that very purpose that Jesus died at the first coming, so that God could forgive us our sins. If YOUR selfish actions prevent him from cancelling your debt, you are rendering Jesus’ sacrifice on that cross to have been made in vain.
■Lk 6 v 37: Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn,
and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.
■Jn 14 v 15: If you love me, you will obey what I command
