Peace in Christ.
Again, we do not find the living body of Christ in the man-based churches where the Lord of glory has been crucified among them (and being kept that way even now).
No mortal flesh is being saved in the grave of the man-based churches. We must depart from them.
They are not shining forth the glory of the Lord as His presence is not being made manifest through them. They mortally perish as they do not hear the Word of Truth, the good news of our mortal salvation from their “pastors” who do not understand it and yet are allowed to rejoice in this situation.
He is not there among them for He is risen. The Lord of glory is being crucified….extinguished….betrayed…given up…among them. The Son of man goes (sinks out of view from this earth) as it is written of Him.
Mat 28:5-6 KJV
(5) And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.
(6) He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
“Come see the place where the Lord lay…”
He made his grave with the wicked and with the rich in His DEATHS (plural). The Hebrew word for death is in the plural form here in Isaiah 53:9. The "wicked and the rich" are their pastors who know not what they are doing…and yet are allowed to profit and rejoice in this situation.
The “deaths” (plural) are the deaths of His people (we are many members of His body) who are being led astray by rich pastors (as deceit is found in their mouths) and are not manifesting His life in their mortal flesh which would have saved their mortal bodies.
The rich pastors have no understanding of the Word of Truth…the gospel of our salvation…and are not preaching it to their spiritually poor congregations.
Each of His people that does not manifest His life in their mortal flesh and mortally perishes as a result is a death of Him.
“Deaths” = a multitude of people. They could have manifested His life in their mortal flesh but were not fed with the gospel of Truth and so mortally perish without knowing it. The Lord of glory is never made manifest in their mortal flesh which would have given them an age-lasting life (aka “eternal life”).
This is the “violence” of those who “rule” over them…their church rulers… as they are actively cutting off the manifestation of His life in the mortal flesh of those they are deceiving. He is being cut out of the land of the living…and His people who are falling for their deceit are mortally perishing without understanding. Deceit is found in the mouths of those who rule over their congregations....and they do "violence" as they are cutting off the manifest life of Jesus from their congregations. Jesus did none of these things.
Isa 53:8-9
(8) He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
(9) And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death ( DEATHS ); because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
The rich men…their ruling pastors….are full of “violence” because of this situation. Their tongue is deceitful for they are leading many astray from the way that leads to life...the life of Jesus that could be had/manifest in their mortal flesh.
Mic 6:12 KJV
(12) For the rich men thereof are full of violence, and the inhabitants thereof have spoken lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.
The rich pastors have been allowed to rejoice in this awful situation. They nourish their hearts as in the "day of slaughter" as the sheep they are pastoring are all mortally perishing under their "care."
They CONDEMN (to adjudge against, pronounce guilty) AND KILL the Just One …the Innocent One…and He does not resist them. The Lord of glory is being crucified even now. In the “trial” of Him, they cast their vote for guilt instead of innocence (the “white stone”). His manifest life is never released among them.
His manifest life is being cut off from being made manifest in the bodies of the people that they are “pastoring.” They are pastoring the “flock of the slaughter” as the Lord of glory is being crucified among them.
Jas 5:5-6
(5) Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.
(6) Ye have condemned and killed the Just One; and He doth not resist you.
The hire of their laborers is kept back by fraud as the Word of Truth is not being preached to their congregations. The drum beat of the rejoicing of their (of the rich rulers of the churches) nourished hearts have kept them from hearing the cries of their congregations who are like Lazarus…desiring to eat of the crumbs of truth that fall from their tables and yet are full of problems...full of sores from top to bottom.
Yet, the rich men...the rich pastors...are about to have their rejoicing changed to weeping and howling for the miseries that shall come upon them. He will deliver His sheep from them for their cries have entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth who will hear their cries and deliver them from those shepherds who are only feeding themselves.
Jas 5:1-4 KJV
(1) Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.
(2) Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.
(3) Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.
(4) Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.
They...the rich rulers of the churches... fare “sumptuously” every day…that is, they REJOICE (fare = rejoice) brilliantly every day as they get their earthly, daily needs met from their congregations. They rule over them …being “clothed in purple and fine linen.”
This rejoicing of their rulers though drowns out the cries of their spiritually poor congregations who are like Lazarus.
Their congregations lay at the gate….at their mouth…waiting to be fed with the Word of Truth.
They are full of sores…full of problems…and yet the “dogs” come and lick the sores. In other words, the flattering tongue of those who could care less about them speak empty words of peace and safety to those who are experiencing problems which does nothing to solve the problems of their congregations. They come speaking "feigned words" as they make merchandise of them.
Luk 16:19-21 KJV
(19) There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously (REJOICED BRILLIANTLY) every day:
(20) And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,
(21) And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
There has been a great famine of hearing the Word of God spoken in truth and sincerity.
Rev 6:5-6 KJV
(5) And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.
And yet those who are responsible for feeding His people are allowed to rejoice in this situation: “hurt not the oil and the wine”…hurt not their rejoicing.
(6) And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
“Wine” makes the heart of man glad and “oil” makes his face to shine. The rich rulers of the churches “fare sumptuously every day….they rejoice brilliantly…their hearts rejoice and their faces shine as they eat the "bread" of others freely.
Psa 104:15 KJV
(15) And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man's heart.
They are feeding the “flock of the slaughter.”
Zec 11:4-5 KJV
(4) Thus saith the LORD my God; Feed the flock of the slaughter;
Their possessors slay them as they are cutting off the life of Jesus from those who are being led astray by them. Those that sell them….making merchandise of them….rejoice as they say “Blessed be the LORD; for I am rich” and do not care for the sheep as they are too busy rejoicing. Their own shepherds of the flock of the slaughter pity them not.
(5) Whose possessors slay them, and hold themselves not guilty: and they that sell them say, Blessed be the LORD; for I am rich: and their own shepherds pity them not.
They follow after Judas as they purchase a "field" with the reward of the iniquity. They are pastoring the flock of the slaughter....a "field" of people who are mortally perishing as they make merchandise of them. They "fall headlong" after the reward as they get their earthly needs met by their congregations that they have "bought." Their "burst asunder in the middle"...that is, they REJOICE greatly in the heart (the "middle')....and their "bowels gush out"...that is, they have NO PITY for those they are making merchandise of. Their congregations are a "field of blood" as the life of Jesus is being cut off from being made manifest in their mortal flesh and so they are all mortally perishing. "Aceldama" = "smoothness" of the tongue and blood. Through deceit (the smoothness of the tongue) do they do "violence" in the field as they are preventing the life of Jesus from being made manifest in those they are deceving.
Act 1:18-19 KJV
(18) Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.
(19) And it was known unto all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch as that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, The field of blood.
2Pe 2:3 KJV
(3) And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
Jesus Christ is already raised from the dead. He is risen so that we might have His resurrected life now in our mortal bodies.
He is already raised to glory so that we might shine forth His glory to the people of this dark world.
He …the Holy One and the Just/Innocent One is being denied in the man-based churches where His life is not being found.
Act 3:14-15
(14) But ye denied the Holy One and the Just One, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you;
(15) And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses.
We must “go quickly” out from among the graves of the man-based churches where His manifest life is not found.
He leads us out of them into “Galilee”… “circle” of the nations. The people of the outside world encircle us. We will then manifest His presence to them through our mortal bodies when we depart from the grave of the man-based churches. His life will then shine to them from us.
Mat 28:7-10 KJV
(7) And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.
(8) And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.
(9) And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him.
(10) Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.
