Peace in Christ.
The abomination that stands in the holy place….the place where we come together to worship God…causes desolation. This “desolation” is the one that comes from His missing glory that has departed from the holy place because of the abomination.
Mat 24:15 KJV
(15) When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand)
The abomination is the “image” that is established in the man-based churches where it is being kept and served.
Remember how Daniel could "read" and "understand" the writing on the wall.
The glory of the uncorruptible God is being exchanged for the image made like corruptible man. His glory does not appear over any man-based church which keeps and serves their images.
Rom 1:22-24 KJV
(22) Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
(23) And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
We must not sit together with them where this exchanging of His glory for the image is happening. We sin against our own mortal bodies when we sit with them in this exchanging going on in the man-based churches.
We become “one flesh” …one body…with them in their destruction. We must not go after “strange flesh” as the manifestation of the Son of man (the appearing of the life of Jesus) is being prevented from appearing in their mortal flesh.
(24) Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
What is the abomination of desolation? What is the “image”?
The “image” is the external church handwriting of ordinances/dogmas that they use to self-govern and self-judge themselves with (patterned just like the outside nations of this world who have their handwritings…their documents such as “constitutions.)” It is the abomination that brings desolation as the glory of God has departed.
It is the "image" of the beast (the wild beast and not the Lamb slain) that is being worshipped where others are being JUDGED based on their "image"....thereby they become slaves of the sin (judging others supposedly in God's authority).
Rev 13:15-16 KJV
(15) And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
(16) And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
His laws are put into our mind and is written upon our hearts. Why willingly go and subject ourselves to the commandments and doctrines of men (contained in their handwritings)? We PERISH with the keeping of them.
Heb 8:10 KJV
(10) For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
The handwriting of ordinances can be as simple (which is NOT “simple” at all) as a church “statement of faith” which is by definition a handwriting of “dogmas”…a list or summery of what one thinks and believes is true.
The ancient Greek word for “dogma” originally meant "opinion," "belief," or "that which seems right". It can also be translated as "decree," "ordinance," or "command"
It...the church handwriting of ordinances... seems right to us, but the end of it are the ways of death.
Pro 14:12 KJV
(12) There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
But because of His great grace and mercy shown to us, our Lord forgives us for these things as He blots out the handwriting of ordinances. He takes it out of the way and nails it to His cross.
He “spoils” the principalities and powers…those who rule over us with their handwritings of ordinances. We must flee from it…making an open show of them.
Col 2:13-17
(13) And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
(14) Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances (DOGMAS) that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
(15) And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
(16) Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
(17) Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
We thought it was “wise” to go to a “church” and voluntarily submitted ourselves to their “government”…their handwritings of ordinances. It seemed right.
Paul called it “will worship”….because we thought ourselves as “wise” to go and willfully and humbly subject ourselves to their handwritings….their commandments and doctrines of men
Col 2:20-23 KJV
(20) Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances,
(21) (Touch not; taste not; handle not;
(22) Which all are to perish with the using) after the commandments and doctrines of men?
(23) Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.
But professing ourselves as “wise,” we become fools….and go to a man-based-on-handwritings “church” where they are actively exchanging His glory for their “images.” The glory of God does not appear over any of them. It is the abomination of desolation as His glory is not there. His glory has departed. The manifest life of Jesus (the Son of man) does not appear as no flesh is being saved. The Son of man goes away out of sight in this earth as it is WRITTEN of Him.
Rom 1:22-23 KJV
(22) Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
(23) And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
When we “see” ….understanding what it is…we must FLEE from it.
God does not give His glory to those who are keeping and serving their “graven images”…the graven-by-man’s pen image that they made to bow down to.
His glory is absent from the man-based churches….and the outside nations do not praise Him as they do not see His glory appear over such gatherings.
Isa 42:8 KJV
(8) I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.
They …who keep and serve their handwritings….“dishonor” their own bodies among themselves. They are “one flesh” in their destruction. We MUST come out from among them and be separate from them.
1Co 6:14-20 KJV
(14) And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power.
(15) Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.
We MUST NOT be joined together with them as we are then “one body”…one flesh… with them in their destruction as the wrath of God comes upon the children of the disobedience.
(16) What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.
(17) But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
We must come out from among them….fleeing the true “fornication”. That is our sanctification. This is the “holy commandment” that we are not to turn away from. We are sinning against our own mortal body by sitting together with them.
(18) Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
(19) What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
(20) For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
When we leave, we must not “look back” as they will speak “great swelling words of emptiness” to try to flatter us back into their “churches”. We must make a “clean escape” from those who are living in error in the churches that are centered around their handwritings that they revere and worship.
2Pe 2:18-22 KJV
(18) For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.
(19) While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.
We are to escape the pollutions of the world (the world is “orderly” because of their documents that they keep and serve rather than be under God’s government) through the FULL KNOWLEDGE (epignosis) of the Lord and Savior (the Deliverer) Jesus Christ .
We are to remember Lot’s wife and must not “look back” or we will be entangled with them again and overcome.
(20) For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.
This is the holy (to be separate for our sanctification) commandment delivered to us to keep. We must come out from among them and be separate. This is the Way of righteousness.
(21) For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.
(22) But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.
“Narrow is the way which leads unto life” and few (the house of Jacob) there be that find it. When we leave, they will try to flatter us back....and when that does not work, then they will persecute us for doing so calling us "evil doers."
Mat 7:14 KJV
(14) Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
When the Son of man is being revealed (as His life is being revealed in the mortal flesh of His believers,) we must come out from among them and be separate. Let us not take anything of theirs (their religious “thoughts and ways”) with us.
Luk 17:30-33 KJV
(30) Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
(31) In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.
REMEMBER LOT”S WIFE….and not look back to the man-based churches.
(32) Remember Lot's wife.
(33) Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.
We must count all of those religious things we thought that was “gain” to us as a loss for Christ.
Php 3:7-10 KJV
(7) But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.
(8) Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,
We are to be found in Him and not trying to defend our own “righteousness” contained in handwritings that we thought were right and correct to keep and serve in the hearing of the knowledge of Christ Jesus. For Paul, it was of the law.....for us today it is the church handwritings of ordinances.
(9) And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
(10) That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
