OSTRACISM FROM ALMIGHTY GOD.
|
"As for you people, only keep away from the thing devoted to destruction,
for fear you may get a desire and you do take some of the thing devoted to
destruction and do constitute the camp of Israel a thing devoted to destruction
and bring ostracism upon it. But all the silver and the gold and the
articles of copper and iron are something holy to Jehovah. Into the treasure of
Jehovah it should go."
(Joshua 6:18,19). |
"At this A'chan answered Joshua
and said: "For a fact I
I have sinned
against Jehovah the God of Israel, and this way and that way I have done. When I
got to see among the spoil an official garment from Shinar, a
good-looking one, and two hundred shekels of silver and one gold bar, fifty
shekels being its weight, then I wanted them, and I took them...""
(Joshua 7:20,21).
(Read
Joshua 7:25,26 concerning A'chor* ). |
"FOR FEAR YOU MAY GET A DESIRE".
For fear of what desire?
The desire to own an "official garment". Today, it is the desire
for, and ownership of, an official garment of authority to
administer erroneous "Babylonian" teachings.
Why is it a thing to fear? Because
for that "official" it brings ostracism from Almighty God!
even
for having "a desire" for that which is devoted to destruction by
God. And yet, because the prostitute Rahab hid messengers of God, she was saved.
(Joshua 6:17). It is not important if one is merely ostracized from
Godless people. In fact, when God fearing
ones are ostracized for exercising faith in God, it is the way of salvation for those coming out of spiritistic "Babylon" are
those being saved. (Rev 18:2-4). For their faith, all true servants of God are
ostracized by the Godless. As for A'chan and his family, they were put to death
for his "desire" and their complicity in it the outcome
of being ostracized from Almighty God.
Example: Many Godless excuses are given by men and women wearing modern-day
"Babylonian" "garments" to exercise demonic
authority over the people and overstep the just decrees of God even misusing the Word of
God to officiate, #
which is a
deep satanic thing. (Rev 2:20-24).
"As in all the churches of the
saints, the women should keep silence in the churches. For they are not
permitted to speak, but should be subordinate, as even the law says. If there is
anything they desire to know, let them ask their husbands at home. For it
is shameful for a woman to speak in church. What! Did the Word of God originate
with you, or are you the only ones it has reached? If any one thinks that he is
a prophet, or spiritual, he should acknowledge that what I am writing to you is
a command of the Lord. If any one does not recognise
this, he is not recognised":
This is ostracism from Almighty God. (1 Cor 14:34 38 RSV).
Because they totally disregard the commands of God,
they #
are totally disregarded by God. See the "Little Scroll" for further explanation. As for obedient ones of
"Judah", it is written:
|
"'Therefore here I am prevailing upon her, and I will cause her to go into
the wilderness, and I will speak to her heart. And I will give her her vineyards
from then onward, and the low plain of A'chor*
as an
entrance to hope;
and she will certainly answer there as in the days of her youth and as in the
day of her coming up out of the land of Egypt. And it must occur in that day,'
is the utterance of Jehovah, 'that you will call Me My Husband, and you will no
longer call Me My Owner.'"
(Hosea 2:14-16). |
◄ Those
who do not get "a desire" reach
the "entrance to hope" by obedience to
the
inspired Word of God.
