FOUND PRAYING, NOT SEEN PRAYING

There were days in which Quest makers became anti-Request-makers in order to find their Quest. And their Quest was to find fault, guilt or accusation against their counterpart.

The Quest makers against the Request maker — They made quest against the man who made requests: see this in the main Bible verse herein:

(Daniel 6:11 - CGV) — "Then these [prominent] men assembled together, and found Daniel making petition and supplication before his God."

(Daniel 6:11 - BSB) — "Then these men went as a group and found Daniel petitioning and imploring his God.

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

Behold the use of the word, “Found” instead of “Saw.” They found Daniel praying is more than they saw Daniel praying: The former means they were both seekers and seers of the man praying, and the latter means they were only seers but not seekers of the man praying.

Further differences between “Found Praying” and “Seen Praying” — To be seen by men praying makes one lose his rewards, but to be found by men praying increases one's rewards.

● 1 ● Example of Seen Praying:

[Matthew 6:5-6 BSB] — And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. Truly I tell you, they already have their full reward. But when you pray, go into your inner room, shut your door, and pray to your Father, who is unseen. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

● 2 ● Example of Found Praying:

[Mark 1:35-37 BSB] — Early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up and slipped out to a solitary place to pray. Simon and his companions went to look for Him, and when they found Him, they said, “Everyone is looking for You!”

You see the use of the word “Found” because there was quest, search or a sought for the man who was eventually found praying.

[Act 9:10-18 BSB] — In Damascus there was a disciple named Ananias. The Lord spoke to him in a vision, “Ananias!” “Here I am, Lord,” he answered. “Get up!” the Lord told him. “Go to the house of Judas on Straight Street and ask for a man from Tarsus named Saul, for he is praying. In a vision he has seen a man named Ananias come and place his hands on him to restore his sight.” But Ananias answered, “Lord, many people have told me about this man and all the harm he has done to Your saints in Jerusalem. And now he is here with authority from the chief priests to arrest all who call on Your name.” “Go!” said the Lord. “This man is My chosen instrument to carry My name before the Gentiles and their kings, and before the people of Israel. I will show him how much he must suffer for My name.” So Ananias went to the house, and when he arrived, he placed his hands on Saul. “Brother Saul,” he said, “the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you were coming here, has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit.” At that instant, something like scales fell from Saul’s eyes, and his sight was restored. He got up and was baptized,

Now, whether there's a law against prayers or not, be found praying like Daniel rather than being seen praying: For men ought always to pray supercedes any Law of Persia or Prince of Persia against prayers. However, greater than “Found Praying” is “Found Faith.” Written —

[Luke 18:1-8 WEB] — "He also spoke a parable to them that they must always pray, and not give up, saying, “There was a judge in a certain city who didn’t fear God, and didn’t respect man. A widow was in that city, and she often came to him, saying, ‘Defend me from my adversary!’ He wouldn’t for a while, but afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God, nor respect man, yet because this widow bothers me, I will defend her, or else she will wear me out by her continual coming.’” The Lord said, “Listen to what the unrighteous judge says. Won’t God avenge his chosen ones, who are crying out to Him day and night, and yet He exercises patience with them? I tell you that He will avenge them quickly. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?”"

KNOW THE LORD: DIFFERENCE IN “THE LAW” & “HIS LAW”


Let us pay attention to these: —

●1● We are not under the Law but under grace, and we are under His Law. There is difference between “THE LAW” and “HIS LAW.”

●2● “The Law” came by Moses, but “His Law (Grace and Truth)” came by Jesus Christ. [John 1:17].

●3● The LORD Himself is Law and Law-giver: Lordship means Law. To say you are not under any law is to say you are not under any Lord

●4● You don't have to keep the Commandments or the Law, but you must keep His Commandments or His Law.

●5● By the deeds of the law shall no flesh be justified, but by deeds of His Law shall all Comers be justified.

●6● By the Law came the knowledge of sins, but by His Law came the knowledge of the LORD.

There's a scam that makes people think or believe they know the Lord without keeping His Law. Knowing the LORD, even knowing Jesus Christ, is beyond knowing His, His earthly History or story, or songs sang about Him etc., — Knowing The Lord Jesus Christ is rooted in keeping His Law or His Commandments. A man is a liar, deceiver, or scammer, if the man says he knows the Lord but does not keep the Lord's Law/Commandments. Please pay great deal of attention to the next two Bible references:

[1 John 2:3-4 Logos] — "Now by this we know that we have come to know Him, if we keep His commandments. He who says, "I have come to know Him," and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him."

[Luke 6:46-49 Logos] — ""But why do you call Me 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do the things which I say? Everyone who comes to Me, and hears My words and does them, I will show you to whom he is like: He is like a man building a house, who dug and went deep and laid a foundation on the rock. And when a flood occurred, the stream burst upon that house, and could not shake it, for it was founded on the rock. But he who hears and does not do is like a man building a house on the ground without a foundation, against which the stream burst upon; and immediately it fell. And the destruction of that house was great.""

Again, calling Him LORD is recognizing Him as Law and Law-giver: if you are not keeping His Law or Commandments you do not know Him as LORD, but maybe you know Him as Savior, Miracle-Worker, Healer, Awesome, Sweet Jesus, no one like Him etc., as found in many of the Christian worship songs and praises that now flood waves. Of all the titles or descriptions you know of the LORD or Jesus Christ, He is more interested in you knowing Him as “The LORD” — YHWH. Know Him as the LORD or as YHWH — This means knowing Him as LAW, LAW-GIVER, COMMANDER OR THE JUDGE. Every other thing you know or call Him bows to knowing Him as the LORD.

Knowing, calling or describing Him as Savior, Miracle-Worker, Healer, Awesome, Sweet Jesus, no one like Him, and the titles used to refer to Him in almost 80% of the songs and testimonies that now fill churches and Christians community are inferior to this one Title or Knowledge of Him — The LORD or YHWH. And no man knows Him as the LORD in truth without that man keeping or obeying His Commandments or Law. This is also the same Title or Knowledge of Him — The LORD — He shall force every man to know in Judgment and by Force of War. He bound by oath to make everyone know Him as the LORD and to make all Tongues confess Him as the Lord.

He swore that oath as the Lord, saying:

[Romans 14:11BSB] - It is written: “As surely as I live, says the Lord, every knee will bow before Me; every tongue will confess to God.”

[Philippians 2:11 BSB] — and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

This is more serious than keeping the laws or ethics or codes of conducts of all the nations — until one keeps His Commandments or His Law. You see why even if a man keeps all the laws of morality, all the laws of religion or laws of nations, so that the man is righteous, blameless, upright and a man of integrity, like some Muslims are, but the same man does not know Him as the LORD because the man did not keep His Law/His Commandments though the man is righteous — still He will judge the righteous man who kept the laws and destroy that righteous Muslim, that righteous Buddhist, that righteous Pagan, that righteous Atheist, that Ethics/Ethical Professional, that Moral law doer etc, to make such man to know Him as the LORD by keeping His Law, not just any laws or righteousness principles.

(Ezekiel 11:12 - FBV) - "Then you will know that I am the Lord. For you didn't follow My rules and you didn't keep My laws. Instead you kept the laws of the nations around you.”"

(Ezekiel 11:12 - LBP) - "And you shall know that I am the LORD; for you have not walked in My statutes, neither executed My judgments, but have followed after the ordinances of the Gentiles that are round about you."

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

The people targeted in the main Bible verse in Red were keepers and doers of the laws, ordinances, customs, traditions and ethics, of the people and nations where they were. As professionals they kept the ethics of professional practices; as religious they kept religious rituals and ordinances; as traditional and customary they observed the ways of the people and of the lands, as citizens they abide by the statutory provisions and constitution of the nations — They were Law Abiding.

But all their righteousness is as filthy Rags because they kept the Law but did not keep “His Law” neither knew Him as the LORD.

Therefore, the Judgment that shall befall them will fulfill execution of the Law or Commandments of the LORD upon them and when they shall know Him as the LORD shall also be when they shall be destroyed for their lack of knowledge of Him as the LORD. My people are destroyed for the lack of knowledge of the LORD, YHWH.

Imagine of I give my wife a command to do “A,” but a pastor/priest, her boss or her biological father/mother/friends tell her to do “B,” which is also good or better than doing “A” which I her husband commanded her to do: If she eventually do “B” instead of “A,” she will still be a good listener to advice or counsel or obedient: but there is a problem she kept the commandment but not my commandment — she succeeded but not by my instruction. I will severely deal with her to a degree that whatever success or achievement she gained by doing “B” would be totally consumed and destroyed, and she will regret it, and she shall know I am her lord, and not any other man on earth.

You see, to know the Lord involves His Laws or Commandments. One of the Promises of the New Covenant is that people will come to a point where they no longer need any teacher to teach them to know the Lord because they shall all know the LORD by His Laws written in their hearts. By His Law/Commandments written in their Hearts is their knowledge of the Lord, and the knowledge of the Lord shall fill the earth as the waters cover the seas.

[Hebrews 8:10-11] — "For this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, said the LORD, I will put My law into their minds, and I will write it on their hearts: and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. And no man shall teach his neighbor, neither his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for all shall know Me, from the youngest to the oldest."

MIND—GAMES AND DANIEL'S FAITHFULNESS IN PRAYERS

I cowardly panicked and fear at the sound of raiders, and by fleeing in fear I forsook the instructions of the Spirit of the LORD to me. I will never again be cowardly, nor will I ever be manipulated by fears from the devils. The LORD did not give me the spirit of fear, but gave me the Spirit of Love, Power and Sound Mind. My mind shall be in peace even in the greatest tumult, storm or threats. Try me again, and see.

Satan with his mind games: Each time Satan destroyed Job's wealth and children, Satan destroyed also their keepers but allowed one to escape just to report the bad news to Job because Satan preferred to do mind-game on Job than to also kill each of those he allowed to escape to tell Job. See his mind games on Job beyond seeing his afflictions or destruction of Job's:

◇1◇ — Satan killed all Job had and servants, but for mind game he spared one servant of Job from various departments of Job's wealth to use those he spared to taunt Job with the terrible or tragic news, so that Satan might get into Job's mind. But Job overcame the mindgame

◇2◇ — Satan afflicted Job with terrible boils and sores, and inspired Job's wife to taunt her husband, Job, into cursing God and die than to be existing in his condition because he was better of dead to her.

◇3◇ — As if those were not enough, three of Job's friends that came to comfort him suddenly had their mouths or tongues manipulated into accusing Job, tormenting Job with words and increasing his miseries by words of their mouths instead of the comforting ministry they earlier scheduled to administer to Job.

Satan and his Accusers in their mind games would press to make bad news, insults, painful words, threats, evil communications, gossips about you, naggings from your wife/sister/friends/children, unpleasant and bitter speeches that basically add to your hurt or wounds to get through your ears into your heart or mind, and they wait to manipulate or capitalize on your reactions and feelings from the poisons you hear.

I caught some lines in a book where a man in cell, trying to catch a sleep, wished the mosquitoes tormenting him in the cell would just bite him and suck his blood without singing in his ears. He was more tormented by the mosquitoes that were loudly sounding into his ears than those mosquitoes that were biting and sucking out his life. I did not understand why he preferred they bite him rather than bark at him.

After God delivered all that Job had to Satan, and Satan destroyed all the children, wealth of Job, and almost all his servants, then Satan shared the news to Job, ensuring Job knew or heard of the terrible things.

But we are beholding the glorious “True Worship” reaction of Job, after Job knew the deeds that were done. We are also beholding the glorious “True Prayer Faithful” reaction of Daniel, after Daniel knew the decree against prayers was signed and the dangers of the lions:

(Daniel 6:10 - CGV) — "And when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house (now his windows were open in his chamber toward Jerusalem) and he knelt on his knees three times a day, and prayed, and recognized [his] indebtedness before his God, as he did previously."

(Daniel 6:10 - LBP) — "Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house, and the windows of his chamber were open toward Jerusalem; he knelt upon his knees three times a day, and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as he had done before."

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

Behold, when Daniel knew the writing was signed — means Daniel already knew about the writing before it was signed: he was aware of the plot from his counterparts or fellow presidents and governors. But in the main Bible verse in Red, Daniel got to know the Writing or Bill was eventually signed into Law.

Notice Daniel's reaction after knowing the Law: — He did not fall into the mind game, but also he did not fall into hardened mind: He was neither fearful nor rebellious in his mind concerning his knowledge of the law against prayers. In other words, nothing changed in Daniel even though something changed in the Laws — That's faith.

The prayers Daniel made in the Bible verse were neither reactional nor rebellious: They were as they were before the law changed. It was not like Daniel started a new habit of praying, or Daniel changed or stopped his previous habit of praying. His windows facing Jerusalem were Open, not were Opened: — He did not open his windows in reactionary to this knew development, neither did he shut them up. They had always been open towards Jerusalem, even before the writing was signed against prayers. What I intend to be learned from Daniel here is how to know faith by faithfulness, rather than by reactions. Learn this: Do away with “Reactionary Faith, ” but abide with “Faithfulness.”

●1● Reactionary Faith — is basically a new/changed attitude, method or approach to a sudden event or sudden appearance or emergency.

●2● Faithfulness — is basically faith that is constant, unchanging and stable.

If you have to develop faith to face new challenges, new emergency etc., your faith is reactionary and little. Those that trust in the LORD are not just called to move mountains, but more importantly they are called to be unmovable like Mount Zion that cannot be move though other mountains be move:

[Psalms 125:1, 46:2] — Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion. It cannot be moved; it abides forever. — Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the middle of the sea;

The reason I was cowardly before was because I was reactionary in response to the sudden threat or danger that emerged at my gate. I should have remained as calm and steady as I was before the threat or danger. You see Christians that would see a demon, a devil, a danger, a threat, a witchcraft object, a cobweb/spider, a Serpent or scorpion, etc., and they begin to sprinkle Anointing oil, holy water, pray, fast, bind and cast, calling blood of Jesus, etc. If they were doing the same things regularly before whatever event or appearance emerged, good they are faithful; but if they were not doing before what they are now doing because of what they saw or heard, then they are reactionary.

The foolish virgins were reactionary, but the wise virgins were faithful in that it was when the foolish virgins heard the Lord is almost here that they suddenly went to find oil for their lamps. If the LORD Jesus Christ is coming in the next twenty four hours, and you suddenly feel there are things you quickly need to fix or do in preparation for His coming, you are reactionary and not faithful. I tell you, if the LORD Jesus Christ is to come in the next hour or the world is to end in few hours time, I will be comfortably doing similar things I've been doing years back. I am as ready for the LORD today as I was years ago.


Sometimes I get rebuked when I try being reactionary based on sight: Example: I wanted to go from one two to another, and I simply said, “The Peace of God prevail” and I went there and came back. And later I wanted to travel interstates or very long distance of over a thousand miles, and I was praying more fervently before I travel. I got rebuke because though it appears I was being more prayerful, I was judging by sight (distance) and reactionary or I was displaying little faith masked in much prayers. In my teaching, being prayerful is not the same as being faithful — Some pray much but have little faith, and some pray little but have much faith. I was rebuked because I was reacting at the longer distance with more prayers than I was with the short distance. The way I should pray for a journey of 100 meters should be the same way I should pray for a journey of 1 billion miles. The way I should react in the presence of a tiny ant, should be the way I react in the presence of lions, dogs, serpents or any beast. They way peace keeps my heart and mind in the time of peace, so should peace keep my heart and mind in the times of tribulation and wars.

There are deceptions of mind-games. Faithfulness is not reactionary.

(Matthew 13:47-51) — Once more, the kingdom of heaven is like a fishing net thrown into the sea that caught all kinds of fish. When it was full it was dragged ashore. The good fish were put into baskets while the bad ones were thrown away. That's the way it will be when the end of the world comes. The angels will go out and separate the evil people from the good, and throw them into the blazing furnace where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth. Now do you understood everything?” “Yes,” they replied.

TAKE HEED — HOW YOU MAKE LAWS OR APPROVE THEM

Did king Darius eventually granted their prayer and signed the bill into Law against prayers in his kingdom for 30 days? Well, let's see:

(Daniel 6:9 - CGV) — "Therefore king Darius signed the writing and the interdict."

(Daniel 6:9 - LBP) — "Then King Darius signed the writing and issued the decree."

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

Some may have faulted king Darius for approving and signing this Antichrist or Anti-Prayer law to make it a Medes and Persian Law that cannot be changed nor reversed. Kingdoms and kings who are influenced and dependent on the wisdom and counsel of those surrounding his throne are bound to be manipulated by them. Excellent Spirit was not in Darius, but in Daniel whom Darius elected.

He was wise at perceiving the Spirit in Daniel, but unwise at not perceiving the spirit of the law or decree before him. He should have applied the same search for the Spirit he used in appointing Daniel to the Laws, Decrees, Counsels and Prayers/Requests brought him also.

I have compared the Accusers coming to king Darius to Satan coming to God against Job. So what's the difference between God approving Satan's new policy concerning Job and Darius approving the Elite's new law concerning Prayers?

■1■ Difference ■1■ — So, the LORD God knew that Satan coming to Him is not about Him, for even when Satan as Lucifer led the praises and worship before God, Lucifer was not fully doing them all about God alone. It's not hard to spot worship songs and praises that purports to be before God but are not all about God. But Darius deception led him into thinking this was all about me, and I do not even see how this legislation or law benefits these elites that are praying me to sign this: they are not padding any hidden benefits to any of them in this law, but are instead subjecting themselves to be bound by these laws also or be cast into Lions Den. Therefore Darius thought this was about him, especially when it seemed to him that all the senators, elites and aristocrats, celebrated him as the only one to whom all prayers must be made and directed to.

■2■ Difference ■2■ — The wisdom of God already knew this was against Job: Immediately God saw Satan had left his business of going to and fro, up and down, the earth to come among sons of God to present themselves to God, God already knew this was against Job: Satan had not mentioned Job yet, but God brought up Job as the subject because beyond what Satan was hiding God already knew his mind and reasons for coming was against Job. — Darius on the other hand only considered about whom their gathering was for, without considering whom their gathering was against. He had already signed the writing and law before he later realized he signed death against his most trusted and excellent president, for he was not looking beyond himself and beyond those gathered for him to approve or sign the law.

If you are a law maker, rule maker, policy make, regulator etc., consider whom the legislation would benefit/build and also whom the legislation would destroy/rob. For a woe/tragedy hangs against any who writes or prescribes or signs any law, regulation, rules or policies that oppress the righteous, rob the poor or do injustice. As it’s written:

[Isaiah 10:1-3 FBV] — Tragedy is coming to those who pass evil decrees and who write laws to harm people. They pervert the legal rights of the needy, and rob justice from the poor of My people. They steal from widows and cheat orphans. What are you going to do on the day you're punished, when disaster falls on you from far away? Who are you going to run to so you can get help? Where are you going to leave all your wealth?

APPOINTED HOW TO DIE AND TO BE JUDGED

[Hebrews 9:27 AKJV] — And as it is appointed to men once to die, but after this the judgment:

This is true for those asking “How many?” But what about those asking “How?”

HOW MANY TIMES ARE THEY APPOINTED TO DIE?

All men have one common number of appointment with death and judgment after death — This number of appointment is “One time” or “Once.” However, there are special cases wherein some men or women died and were still raised back to life from the dead. Or some had appointment with death and somehow their appointment with death was postponed by the Grace of God in extension of life. In these cases, those who died had not faced their final judgment yet and were raised back to life. For if their final judgment was set after they died, no more for them to be raised back to life. So, resurrection must come before final judgment otherwise after final judgment there shall be no more resurrection of the dead.

HOW ARE THEY APPOINTED TO DIE?

Though all men have one time appointment with death and final judgment, all men do not have the same way to die, neither do all men have the same appointed death nor appointed judgment. There are many different ways different men are appointed to die. Look at this main Bible verse in Red for further illustration:

(Ezekiel 11:10 - GWN) - "You will die in battle. I will judge you at Israel's borders. Then you will know that I am the LORD."

(Ezekiel 11:10 - LBP) - "You shall fall by the sword; I will judge you in the border of Israel; and you shall know that I am the LORD."

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

In this Main Red Bible verse, those targeted were appointed to die in battle by Sword, and to be judged within the borders of Israel, and at the end they shall know the LORD. What will kill them will neither be from where they were coming nor from where they shall die or be judged: for they are sold to strangers, and the sword of strangers or foreign sword will kill them within the borders of Israel but outside the city of Jerusalem. Imagine, what will kill a man is already determined to come from a strange country, the man it will kill must be from a different country, and the day they meet or see each other shall be the day the man will be killed by it, etc.

In this case, the LORD Himself appointed how they must die, where they must die, what must be used to kill them, and where He must judge them. Sometimes, men appoint or decide the way they die or the way other men they kill in murder will die, and those decisions on how those men must die were not appointed by the LORD but by men

Examples: women aborted their children in the womb, or killed them afterwards, men make their children pass through fire in offering to other gods which is not appointed by God [Jeremiah 32:35], people do rituals with people in which they do ritual killings, etc. These are not basically the LORD’s appointed ways for them to die, but of men.

The Father appointed how the Son must die, including where + when He must die to glorify the Father and to fulfill all things. And after the Son had satisfied all His appointments with death, He in turn appointed how Peter must die to glorify God. So, even the greatest Savior and Life-Giver Himself appoints how His own should die to glorify God and to find far better and eternal life.

PRAYER FASHIONED AGAINST PRAYERS

■ Even when it was a law against prayers, it required prayer to the king to accent or establish the law. It's a law that would forbid all prayers from being channeled or directed to any other person but only to the king himself for a thirty Days “Prayers Shutdown” period.

(Daniel 6:8 - CGV) — "Now, O king, establish the interdict, and sign the writing, that it may not be changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which does not alter."

(Daniel 6:8 - LBP) — "Now, O king, establish this decree and let it be put in writing, that it be not changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which cannot be altered."

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

The statement in this main red Bible verse is a prayer speech to the king, and simply call it a prayer to establish the Law against prayer.

■ Some people's Prayer would shutdown or prevent many other people's prayers if those some people's prayers are granted. In this case, if the king grants this prayer made by those elites in the bible verse above, the king granting their prayer would legally be shutting down, preventing, silencing or killing the prayers of all other men in his kingdom for the specified period. Therefore, it's prayer fashioned against prayers: few men's prayer divided/devised against the potential prayer of the masses.

The Medes and Persians operated laws that stood against prayers of Daniel to God in divers ways: If not this Law of Persia forbidding the prayers of Daniel for 4 weeks, it may be Prince of Persia withholding the answer or angel to the prayers of Daniel for 3 weeks.

But it's important to see how some people's prayers or wishes will be the end or destruction of other people's prayers or petitions by how it played out here. Granting their prayers would mean danger to other poor people's prayers. It's like someone's prayer is for God not to regard or grant some other people's prayers. When God granted Satan's prayers concerning Job, Job's prayers for his children were off: and indeed prayers of Satan the Accuser are opposed to prayers of Job and the reason preference was given to Satan's prayer over Job's prayers particularly over his children, was because Satan came to God and prayed to God, but Job only prayed to God. Similar thing almost played out concerning Peter, over whom both Satan and the Lord Jesus prayed to have. Satan desired Peter to sieve him like a wheat, but the Lord Jesus also prayed for Peter so that his faith will not fail nor will he end up as Judas Iscariot. Watch and pray not to enter into the temptation. But you cannot beat in prayers a man who comes closer to God's Throne in prayers than you are as close to the Throne.

I am telling you that in prayer “Calling upon the Lord” is behind “Coming to the Lord” in ranking. It was Paul's teachings and epistles that emphasized “Calling upon the Lord either to be saved or to be heard.” Paul was not as much a preacher or emphasizer of “Coming” as much as he was of “Calling.” But in the teachings and preaching of the Lord Jesus Christ Himself, He was much more a preacher or emphasizer of “Coming” more than of “Calling.”

Examples, Paul would tell the sinners to “Call upon the Lord Jesus Christ and be saved,” but the Lord Jesus Christ would tell the sinners to “Come to Me all you that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest,” “All the Father gives to Me will come to Me, and as many as come to Me, I shall in no wise cast out,” “Whoever is thirsty let him come to Me and drink, and whoever believes in Me as the scriptures say, out of his belly shall flow living Waters.” The Spirit and the Bride say Come, and let him who hears say come, and whoever wills may drink of the fountain of the water of life,” “Let little children come to Me, and do not hinder them; for of such is the kingdom of God,” “My Sheep hear My Voice and come to Me,” “He who does truth Comes to the Light that his deeds may be manifests, but he that does evil does not come to the light for his deeds are evil,” “NO man can come to Me unless the Father draws him to Me,” “It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that has heard, and has learned of the Father, comes to Me.” ‘I am the Way, the Truth and the Life, no man comes to the Father except by Me.”

Okay, I am trying to show that Paul's teachings emphasizes more of people “Calling upon the Lord” (Prayers in His Name), but the Lord Jesus Himself emphasizes more of people “Coming to the Lord” (Coming in His Name, not just praying in His name). Like Peter said to Him on the sea, “Lord if You are the One, bid me to come to You” and the Lord replied Peter, “Come to Me” and therefore Peter walked on the seas or waters to come to the Lord. But because Peter lost the focus of “Coming to the Lord” he was reduced to “Calling on the Lord to save him from sinking.” Yes, when Peter was drowning, he was reduced to Calling upon the Lord to be saved; and whoever calls upon the Lord shall be saved as Peter was by the little faith he had left. But before he was walking above just calling upon the Lord when he walked in Coming to the Lord even on the same sea or waters.

Now which of these two would you rather walk with between Calling Him and Coming to Him to be saved or to have eternal life?

A.■ [Romans 10:12-14] — For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich to all that call on Him. For whoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

B.■ [John 5:40] — And you will not come to Me, that you might have life.

Would you say, “Blessed is he who calls upon the name of the Lord.” Or would you rather say, “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, Hosanna in the highest.”

Back to main Bible Verse on Red: They Accusers came to the king of kings and then prayed him to endorse a law against prayers to any God or man except to the king, which requires coming to the king first.

In conclusion, prayers can also be hindrance to prayers: prayers can kill or silence prayers in contradiction or opposition: and in such cases those who come closer to the Lord or King have better advantages or preference over other contrary/opposing prayers. Laws/Legality can also be hindrance to prayers as we see in laws of Medes and Persians both in Daniel's days and Esther days when the law prevented her even as Queen to come to the king her husband to prayer. The Prince of Persia, not those human governors or princes, but the spirit being in charge of Persia also hindered prayers even without laws but powers. Praying outside the will of God, praying without faith, praying with malice, and maltreatment/dishonoring your wife also hinders prayers.

CASTAWAY, CAPTIVES, SLAVES AND DAMNED

Have you noticed the difference between the Judgment of God upon a man in the City of God and that of Judgment of God upon a man that requires banning/bringing the man out of the City of God first? Let's assume God's will eventually kill 3 men with the same weight, but:

]1[ — One of the three men, the Judgment of God killed him inside the city of God;

]2[ — Another of the three men, the Judgment of God brought/cast him out of the city of God and killed him outside the city of God;

]3[ — The third of the three men, the Judgment of God brought/cast him out of the city of God, then delivered him to strangers as slave/captive and still killed him outside the city of God as delivered strangers;

Though the Judgments of God brought death to all three, obviously the one whose death was in the city and buried inside the city of God is still considered redeemed and still have access in the Holy City, as clean meat still have access in the holy Pot even though the meat is butchered, sliced or carcassed. Many prophets and apostles wished they died inside Jerusalem and were buried in Jerusalem, and Joseph in Egypt together with all the tribes of Israel, wanted to be buried in the promised land and not outside the inheritance of the People of God. The man of God from Judah was banned from being buried in Judah or Jerusalem, though he was buried in Israel or Samaria.

The second man in the list was banned or cast from the Holy City like the man of God from Judah was.

The third-man's situation is worst of them all because he was both cast away, banned from the City of God, and then sold (delivered) to Strangers under the judgments. His condition involves slavery of soul.


(Ezekiel 11:9 - GWN) - "I will force you out of the city. I will hand you over to foreigners, and I will punish you."

(Ezekiel 11:9 - LBP) - "And I will bring you out of the midst of it and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and I will execute judgments upon you."

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

In this Main Bible verse in Red, the three things God would do to the targeted will make them become these three Losers:

◇A◇ Cast-Away — Forcing/Casting them out of His Holy City in their final days will make them a form of losers called - Castaway.

◇B◇ Captives/Slaves/Sold — Delivering them into the hands of strangers in their final days will make them a form of losers called - Captives/Slaves/Sold. The salvation, freedom or redemption they once had is reversed into bondage/captivity. The Redemption of God delivers/buys people from strangers, but the reverse to redemption is to deliver people to strangers or to sell them into the hands of men.

◇C◇ Damned — Still executing judgment of God on them after God delivered them into the hands of strangers will make them a form of losers called - Damned or the Damned. This is because, God after delivering them to strangers is still executing Judgments on them, and punishing them. If a man delivers something to another person, that thing is no longer in the man's hands but now in the hands of the person to whom it is now delivered or sold. But contrary to this, when God delivers someone/something to men or strangers, that someone or something is still in the hands of God even though it is also in the hands of those men/strangers. The idea is that none can deliver any out of the hands of God, or none can pluck any out completely from Him. God is feared more in hell than Satan and Demons are.

[Isaiah 43:13] — "Yes, from the first day I am He; and there is none that can deliver out of My Hands; what I will do, who can stop it?"

[Hebrews 10:31] — It is a fearful thing to fall into the Hands of the living God.

[Hosea 2:10] — I will strip her naked while her lovers watch; no one will be able to deliver her out of My Hand.

ANTICHRISTS:— LEGALITY, LEGALISM OF THE ACCUSERS

The Strength of sin is the law [1 Corinthians 15:56] — Accusers of Brethren use Legality and Legalism to put stumbling in the path of the Brethren. Know this: Some of the ways the Antichrists and the Accusers will fight the saints will include “Changing Laws” and Changing Times.” There ability and authority to change/amend/alter the laws and times are some of their greatest tools against the saints.

[Daniel 7:25 AFV] — And he shall speak words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High, and think to change the set times and the laws. And they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and one-half time.

You see that we are not just affected by who grabs the political power over us, but also affected by who makes or changes the laws that defines our legality, legalism or illegality, criminal offenses.

In John Bunyan's framework (Pilgrim's Progress), "Legality" serves as a tool for the Accuser of the Brethren, Satan—by promoting distorted view of righteousness that focuses on strict adherence to the law. The Accuser uses legalism to instill guilt and shame. By emphasizing failures to meet legal standards, individuals are made to feel inadequate, fostering despair and discouragement in their faith.

Example, imagine the Accusers of Daniel setting up this law/legality: — By law, praying to God or requesting any petition from neighbor, except from the king, becoming a capital crime punishable by death:

(Daniel 6:7 - CGV) — "All the presidents of the kingdom, the deputies and the satraps, the counselors and the governors, have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a strong interdict, that whoever shall ask a petition of any god or man for thirty days, except of you, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions."

(Daniel 6:7 - LBP) — "All the governors of the kingdom, the princes, the generals, and the lords have consulted together to establish a royal statute and to make a firm decree that whosoever shall ask a petition of any god or man for thirty days, except of you, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions."

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

In Bible verse, the distinct actions and elites involved are as follows:

ELITES:
1. **Presidents**: High-ranking officials in the kingdom.
2. **Deputies**: Assistants or representatives of the presidents.
3. **Satraps**: Governors of provinces, overseeing regional affairs.
4. **Counselors**: Advisors to the king, providing guidance and recommendations.
5. **Governors**: Officials in charge of specific territories or regions.

ACTIONS:
1. **Consultation**: The elites came together to hold lawmaking or law changing legislation over the entire realm, but to target a saint.

2. **Establishing a Royal Statute**: They propose a new law they made to the king, intending to establish the law from just Executive Order to a more binding law called “Royal Law” if it contains the King of Kings’ endorsement on it be unchangeable law or immutable.

3. **Creating a Strong Interdict**: They design a Capital Punishment for disobedience — which would be, getting thrown into Lions Den.

This demonstrates how the Accusers among principalities, powers, rulers of darkness of this world and wickedness in high places can manipulate time-sensitive laws to control behavior and eliminate faith or opposition:

◇LAW: — The Changes the Accusers/Antichrists made in the Law was outlawing/criminalizing prayer or petition from any man to any God or from any man to any other man, except praying to the King.

◇TIME: — The Changes the Accusers or Antichrists made in the times — 30 days or one month was criminalizing and shutting down prayers during those days. E.g. times when if any stranger request for directions to a place from another man, or if a man begs his neighbor, or if a child petitions his parents, or if a man prays to God, etc., which ever the case, that man shall be cast into the den of lions.

The Accusers/Antichrists did these by manipulation+use of Legality: making laws that didn't benefit the people but their accusation agenda.

APPLICATION OF THE SWORD

1. [Job 3:25] — For the thing which I greatly feared is come on me, and that which I was afraid of is come to me.

2. [Job 20:24] — He shall flee from the iron weapon, and the bow of steel shall strike him through.

3. [Proverbs 10:24] — The fear of the wicked, it shall come on him: but the desire of the righteous shall be granted.

4. [Isaiah 24:17-18] — Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are on you, O inhabitant of the earth. And it shall come to pass, that he who flees from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that comes up out of the middle of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for the windows from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth do shake.

5. [Jeremiah 42:16] — Then it shall come to pass, that the sword, which you feared, shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt, and the famine, whereof you were afraid, shall follow close after you there in Egypt; and there you shall die.

(Ezekiel 11:8 - GWN) - "You are afraid of swords, so I will bring swords to attack you, declares the Almighty LORD."

(Ezekiel 11:8 - LBP) - "You have feared the sword; and I will bring a sword upon you, says the LORD God."

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

Sword applies in revenge upon a man by any of these four principles:

◇1/A◇ The fear of the wicked shall come upon the wicked [Proverbs 10:24] — Especially if the wicked feared sword against him/her, the sword he feared shall be on him to accomplish on him what he feared.

All the sinners among the people of God may be praying or saying no evil will come upon them, but still yet the Sword must kill the sinners:

[Amos 9:10] — All the sinners of My people shall die by the sword, which say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us.

◇2/B◇ He that kills with the sword shall be killed with the sword or he that takes the sword shall die by the sword [Revelation 13:10, Matthew 26:52]

◇3/C◇The Judgment or Justice bears the Sword and Scales/Balances:

[Job 19:29] — Be you afraid of the sword: for wrath brings the punishments of the sword, that you may know there is a judgment.

[Romans 13:4] — For he is the minister of God to you for good. But if you do that which is evil, be afraid; for he bears not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath on him that does evil.

◇4/D◇The Application of the Sword for Division or Peres/Upharsin:

[Matthew 10:34-39 BSB] — Do not assume that I have come to bring peace to the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to turn ‘a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. A man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’ Anyone who loves his father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me; and anyone who does not take up his cross and follow Me is not worthy of Me. Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.

[Jeremiah 4:9-10] — "“And it shall come to pass at that day,” says the LORD, “the king’s heart will perish, and the heart of the rulers; and the priests will be amazed, and the prophets will be astounded.” Then I said, “Ah, Lord GOD! Surely You have greatly deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, ‘You shall have peace,’ whereas a sword reaches to the soul.”"

COME TO GOD, COME TO THE KING: YOUR ACCUSERS DO

There are Accusers of the blameless, upright, faultless or the pure; and on the flipped side, there are also Intercessors/Advocates. Satan is the Chief Accuser of the brethren, but the Lord Jesus Christ is the Chief Advocate and Intercessor for the brethren.

In the account of Satan accusing the blameless Job before God, there was an Accuser against Job but there was no Advocate for Job in those transactions. None raised any objection on behalf of Job to counter the Accuser's shifting the goalposts against him. You know how it can be in law courts among men when the accused has no advocate/attorney while the accuser/prosecutor has very vocal and convincing prayers to the Judge. None of the Sons of God gathered could raise any objection for Job, while Satan in their midst pressed for shifting the goalposts by advocating that poverty, affliction, losses, tragic death, sicknesses and bitterness, be laid on the blameless man to improve his temptation or trials for no reason.

Before then, temptations did not have to come with poverty, pain, losses, affliction, sicknesses, distresses or persecutions all at once. It was usually one thing at a time when tempting or trying men. Temptation before then was like a man sitting for example but just one paper or one subject per day or even per week/month. But since Satan shifted the goalposts and God approved it against Job, Temptation became like a man sitting for two, three…ten papers or different subjects in the same hour or day. Before, a man does not have to be in poverty, in sickness, in multiple problems and sufferings to prove his faith or fear of God. One could be living comfortably, and just tempted in one area, such as Adam and Eve were comfortable in the garden and tempted with just one forbidden tree. But the devil brought the idea of for instance a very sick, poor, lonely man, worrying about robbers, worrying about bills, worrying about health, etc and still being tested/tempted to remain faithful to God in divers afflictions. See all the things Job had to suffer and carry at once in his temptation to prove to Satan what God already knew about Job.

The reason it happened that way was because Job's Redeemer Lives but was waiting for the last days to stand up for Job, Job's Accuser or Adversary was already standing against Job in days when Sons of God gather to God. Why should your Redeemer/Advocate be waiting for the latter day to stand up for you, while your Accuser/Adversary is only waiting for any day or opportunity to stand before God against you?

And since Job knew his Redeemer Lives, but though He lives He will not stand for Job until the last day when the all time living Redeemer will suddenly become relevant to Job: — Why didn't Job himself also present himself among the sons of God as Satan did? I mean, if Satan could attend without invitation, surely Job whom God called “My servant that fears me” should have attended also. Didn't you see that it was the absence of Job but presence of Satan in that meeting that initiated all those things? What did God ask Satan? Where have you been? The same question applied to Job as it applied to Satan — where are you Job or why is Job not here? I did not say God asked Job that, but said God somehow recalled or talked about Job with Satan as soon as Satan stated that he came all the way from earth to attend the meeting — but Job that was on earth as Satan couldn't make it there whereas he became the subject each time Satan came but he didn't.

Look, I am not analyzing this because of Job, but because of us today who have better grace and opportunities to always come before God in spirit to His Throne far better than Satan going to and fro, up and down, on earth has to attend or come before God. Don’t allow your Accusers to beat you to it at coming to God in Heaven or in the Spirit realms, because the Accusers have you in mind and God will question them to reveal what they have in mind, making the conversation about you. Yes, the Lord Jesus is the Advocate for us before God, but even with Him interceding for us, we still need to always come boldly to the throne of grace to secure our inheritance, to find grace and mercy above or against whatever the Accuser/Adversary has against us.

Do not be like some religious folks, who ask Mary, Saints and Angels already there in heaven to pray for them: Rather I enjoin you to come into heaven yourselves in the grace and Spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ and come to the Throne of Grace and Mercy yourselves. The Bible reference I will cite next shows that even though we already have a High Priest in heaven who feels what we feel and is touched by our pains, we should still come to the throne of Grace in heaven: we should not be asking the High Priest in heaven to advocate or pray for us or to represent us there in heaven on our behalf: Yes, we have Him as High Priest, and yes we as connected in feelings or nerves with Him in heaven while we are on earth — Yet, our coming to heaven to present ourselves as sons of God should present themselves to God is always necessary and must not be assigned to the High Priest, Mary, Saints or Angels, to do the presentation/representation for us to God:

[Hebrews 4:14-16 AFV] — Having therefore a great High Priest, Who has passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, we should hold fast the confession of our faith. For we do not have a high priest who cannot empathize with our weaknesses, but One Who was tempted in all things according to the likeness of our own temptations; yet He was without sin. Therefore, we should come with boldness to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

You see how having a High Priest in heaven, an Advocate in heaven, having Mary and the Saints and Angels in heaven, means you should always come boldly into heaven, not always stay out because they are there to represent you. I told you that spirits are represented in their presence, not in their absence. You can represent a man in his absence, but not represent a spirit person in his absence. E.g. To represent Christ, He must be present or it must be in His Presence you represent him.

Many of us are like Job, praying for our children and making offerings on earth and doing religious activities, but we are not presenting ourselves among sons of God in presentation to God in heaven. We barely come before God in Spirit and in heaven.

The Accuser seem wiser than us, because no matter how much walking to and fro, up and down, business he does on earth, he rarely misses the chance to also present himself to God among the assembly of the sons of God in heaven.

In the case of Daniel, he was also faithful in prayers as Job was, but Daniel was beaten by his Accusers who knew importance of presenting themselves or coming often to the king of kings more than Daniel. In the whole chapter, you barely see where Daniel (one of the presidents) visited or came to the king of kings, and the only time he met with the king in the record was when the king came to Daniel by the lions den. So, the king came to Daniel, but Daniel never came or went to the king, whereas his Accusers were frequently coming to the king of kings, Darius. And even when Daniel knew the decree against prayers was signed by the king of kings, forbidding every one from praying to God but that everyone should come to the king to make any request, Daniel still did not go or come to the king of kings to redress the law, but instead Daniel still prayed with windows opened. But the Accusers of Daniel came more often to the king of kings.

(Daniel 6:6 - CGV) — "Then these presidents and satraps assembled together to the king, and said thus to him, “King Darius, live forever."

(Daniel 6:6 - LBP) — "Then the governors and the generals came before the king, and said to him, “King Darius, live for ever!"

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

They came to the king of kings as Satan also came to God among the sons of God, but Daniel did not come to that king of kings until the Accusers succeeded and Daniel was in the pit and the king he bare came to became the one coming in deliverance to Daniel just as God eventually came to Job in his captivity in a whirlwind.

But understand the Accusers power increases by his access and coming to the King of Kings, while the advocate/Intercessor power is inhibited or none by his inaccess or not coming to the king of kings.

The entire Jews were about to be wiped off the surface of the earth because their Accuser, Haman, had access and do come before the king of kings, whereas Esther the queen and advocate for the Jews, together with Mordecai, were afraid they would die if they come before the king uninvited. Haman the Accuser could come any time to the king of kings then, but the very wife and queen to the king feared for her life to come before the king — and therefore, the Accusers were gaining more power and right of destruction over the brethren. Meanwhile, Esther, Mordecai and the brethren, were praying and fasting instead of coming to the king of kings. It was when Esther took the risk and courageously decided to come or show up before the king of kings, so that even if she perish she rather perish in coming to the king of kings than cowardly perish by the Accusers, that the goalposts were also changed and the situation addressed in their favor.

[Esther 4:15-16 BSB] — Then Esther sent this reply to Mordecai: “Go and assemble all the Jews who can be found in Susa, and fast for me. Do not eat or drink for three days, night or day, and I and my maidens will fast as you do. After that, I will go to the king, even though it is against the law. And if I perish, I perish!”

JUDGMENT OF THE POT AND KETTLE

Supposing what the kettle is saying about the pot is true or factual, is the kettle in position to say it especially when the kettle is dwelling inside the pot that it's labels black?

Okay, the kettle feels it is also part of the meat inside the pot, not knowing that God does not consider it as meat in the pot but as kettle in the pot. Therefore, God would remove the kettle from the pot, but leave the carcasses or meats which the kettle delivered into the pot in the pot. For the pot is not a Microwave wherein other pots or kettles may be housed to cook the kettle/pot that in-turn Cooks the meat. The Lord would separate the kettle from the meat or carcass of the kettle, leaving the kettle's carcasses as meat in the Pot but forcing the kettle out from the pot entirely.

(Ezekiel 11:7 - GWN) - "So this is what the Almighty LORD says: The corpses that you put in the middle of the city are the meat, and the city is the cooking pot. I will force you out of the city."

(Ezekiel 11:7 - LBP) - "Therefore thus says the LORD God: Your slain whom you have laid in the midst of it, they are the meat, and this city is the caldron; but I will bring you forth out of the midst of it."

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

So, the LORD did not disprove or deny the saying that the city was a Cooking Pot, but only had issues with those saying it and those they claim are the meat inside the cooking pot.

◇ Is the City of Jerusalem then a Cooking Pot (Cauldron)? — Yes.

◇ Are Living People in City of Jerusalem then meat in the pot? - No.

◇ Are Naturally dead ones in City of Jerusalem the meat in it? - No.

◇ Are the Killed ones, those slain or killed by men in City of Jerusalem the meat in it? - Yes.

Those who died naturally are not the meat, neither are those living in the city the meat in it as a Pot or Cauldron. Rather, only those killed by men or those murdered were classified as meat in the City Pot.

[Micah 3:1-3 GWN] — "Then I said: Listen, you leaders of Jacob, you rulers of the nation of Israel. You should know justice. You hate good and love evil. You strip the skin off My people and the flesh off their bones. You eat My people's flesh. You strip off their skin. You break their bones to pieces. You chop them up like meat for a pot, like stew meat for a kettle."

Common Holiness Sense will tell you:

◇1◇ If those living are considered the meat or carcasses in the City Pot, than it would be evil in the pot because it is evil to cook or eat any meat that is alive or with its blood (its life) in it. So, those living in the city are not the meat in the pot.

◇2◇ If those that died naturally are considered the meat or carcasses in the City Pot, than it would be uncleanness in the pot because it is unclean to cook or eat any meat that died naturally or died by sickness. So, those naturally dead in the city are not the meat in the pot.

◇3◇ But if those killed by men are considered the meat or carcasses in the City Pot, than it would be proper in the pot because it is only clean meat killed by a man that you should cook or eat in your pot. So, those slain by men in the city are those God called meat in the pot.

That does not mean God would eat human flesh, neither does it imply cannibalism: Rather these are all parable to imply or illustrate that those killed by men in Jerusalem were more holy, cleaner and more worthy of the City Jerusalem than those living in Jerusalem and those who killed them. It's like a saying, “The wicked/sinners are killing or swallowing those who are more righteous than them, even in that ancient city of Jerusalem.”

[Habakkuk 1:13 GW] — Your Eyes are too pure to look at evil. You can’t watch wickedness. Why do You keep watching treacherous people? Why are You silent when wicked people swallow those who are more righteous than they are?

The kettle that swallowed or killed those more righteous and cleaner than they are shall be forced or removed from the city or from the pot, because predators or carnivores that kill other meats are not clean meat themselves in that City Pot.

However, even the City of Jerusalem as a Pot must be purged from bloodshed and from uncleanness of being Cooking Pot for clean meat. The Lord would put that pot empty on a fire of oven, without adding any water or liquid or substance into the burning pot, so that the pot will burn on the fire until all its impurities are gone and it's refined. As it is written concerning the purification of that City Pot of Meat:

[Ezekiel 24:2-14 GW] — “Son of man, write down today’s date. The king of Babylon has surrounded Jerusalem this very day. Tell these rebellious people a story. Tell them, ‘This is what the Almighty LORD says: Put the pot on the fire; put it on. Pour water in it. Cut the meat into pieces, all the best pieces, the thigh and shoulder. Fill the pot with the meatiest bones selected from the best sheep. Pile wood under the pot. Bring the mixture in the pot to a boil. Cook the bones that are in it well. “‘This is what the Almighty LORD says: How horrible it will be for that city of murderers, for that tarnished pot. Its tarnish will not come off. Empty the meat out of it piece by piece without choosing any particular piece. Blood is still in that city. The blood was poured on a bare rock. It wasn’t poured on the ground where dust would cover it. In order to stir up My fury so that I would pay that city back, I put the blood of its victims on a bare rock. Now that blood can’t be covered. “‘This is what the Almighty LORD says: How horrible it will be for that city of murderers. I, too, will pile the wood high. Pile it high, and light the fire. Cook the meat thoroughly, stir the mixture, and let the bones burn. Then set the empty pot on the coals so that it gets hot and its copper glows. Its impurities will melt away, and its tarnish will burn off. “‘I have worn Myself out trying to clean this pot. Even the fire can’t take away its thick tarnish. I tried to clean you of your filthy lust, but you wouldn’t clean yourself from your filth. You will never be clean until I unleash My Fury on you. I, the LORD, have spoken. It will happen, and I will do it. I will not ignore you, pity you, or change My plans. I will punish you because of the way you lived and because of everything you have done,’ ” declares the Almighty LORD.

THEIR METHODS OF FINDING FAULTS IN FAULTLESS MEN

Perhaps we must now know these things about the “Accusers of Brethren,” particularly the Chief Accuser of Brethren, Satan himself:

☆1☆ Being found blameless, innocent or faultless, does not still stops the accusers that is hell bent on accusing the brethren. So, even if a man's all round declared righteous, blameless, upright, faultless, pure, etc., by God Himself, Satan would still not give up at accusing the blameless, upright, faultless, pure etc, man. Example was in the case of Job: God Himself told Satan that Job was upright and fears God, and yet Satan wouldn't still give up, in more occasions than one.

☆2☆ How does the Accusers seek to still attempt to accuse a man that's already found blameless, upright, faultless, pure etc? There are basically two methods the Accusers may employ to persist at it:

☆2~A☆ The Accusers would either use “False Accusation Method” to accuse a man they already know is blameless, upright, faultless or pure etc. Example Potiphar’s wife used this method to accuse Joseph. This method, “False Accusation,” has limits to which the Devil who is both father of lies and chief accuser can use “False Accusation.” Satan cannot use “false accusation” in Heaven or in communicating with God and higher angels: Satan never dares to lie to God, even if Satan lies to himself or is the father of lies. So, because he cannot use false accusation before God, Satan would use the second method before God in trying to still accuse a man declared blameless, upright, faultless, pure etc.

However, Satan uses “False Accusations” or “Lies/Falsehood” when he's in communication to men or in connection with the tongues of men. Someone had asserted that “Satan is still learning work where some people who tell lies/falsehood are.” Implying those people told lies that even Satan would not have told or imagined. Well, Satan is the father or originator of lies and falsehood, but indeed there are lies Satan can only use the tongues of men or women to tell to people, after laying the lies or falsehood in the hearts of the deceivers.

Notice that sometimes a mad man/woman, that is, one possessed by demons/evil spirits, may be saying things that are true or factual, while a man/woman that seemly is not possessed by any demon/evil spirits would be saying things that are lies or false. Am not saying evil spirits or demons don't lie, but saying they have to possess the mouths or tongues of men to be able to tell certain lies or falsehood to men. Two Bible references:

Reference 1 — A spirit that cannot tell lies in heaven could possess the mouths of even prophets or pastors, and become a lying spirit only in the mouth or by tongues of men.

[1 Kings 22:22-23 AKJV] — And the LORD said to him, “With which?” And he said, “I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.” And He said, “You shall persuade him, and prevail also: go forth, and do so.” Now therefore, behold, the LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these your prophets, and the LORD has spoken evil concerning you.

Reference 2 — concerning the days of the Antichrist, False Prophet and the red Dragon, the prophecy said God will send to the world a strong delusion, deception or lies, so that the world would believe the lies of Antichrist, false prophet and the dragon to their damnation, because the world rejected the Truth that God earlier sent to them. Billy Graham in “1974” told a story of a man who lied to a church and the church believed him and received him; and then later he confessed to the church that he had lied to them, and showed them the truth, and the church cast the man away from them. Then the man said “This is a strange church: I told them lies and they received me, and I told them truths and they discarded and rejected me.” So, God sent truth to the world and they rejected the truth, seeking and making researches especialy scientifically to disprove the truth of God. So, God will send them lies and strong delusion for them to receive:

[2 Thessalonians 2:9-12 AKJV] — Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all delusion of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

But my objective here is to point out the lying spirit in the mouths of the Antichrist, False Prophet and the Dragon. Now read about it here:

[Revelation 16:13-14 AKJV] — And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth to the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

So, according to this reference, spirits of devils also work miracles, signs and wonders, and yet are lying spirits in mouths of false prophets. They are there for people who want miracles but do not want the truth.

Now, we must advance to the second method of the Accusers insisting on accusing a man who they know is blameless, upright, faultless, etc.

☆2~B☆ The Accusers may either use “Shifting the goalposts” to accuse a man they already know is blameless, upright, faultless or pure etc.

Shifting the goalposts differs from false accusation because it does not involve lying or false assertion, but involves manipulation of criteria or standards of requirements to become more difficult for the other party and more favorable to the party of the Accusers. Examples of shifting the goalposts by the Accusers of the blameless, upright, faultless or pure men in the scriptures include — Satan asking God to struck out the hedge of protection around Job, and take away Job's wealth and health as a drastic policy change, making the criteria or standards more difficult for Job but giving Satan more opportunities. — Making the Lord Jesus Christ that was judged by Roman's Laws and found blameless, upright, faultless or pure, to be condemned by another law of the Jews while still using the Roman's Law to crucify the man that the Law did not find guilty. That is, he used the laws of Moses (Jewish law) to establish the Lord Jesus as worthy of death, but applying that law in a jurisdiction of a different (Roman) law that found Jesus Christ blameless and worthy to live.

Okay, take Him and crucify Him according to your Jewish Law, because by my Roman's law He is found blameless, upright, faultless or pure. But the people said “No, we only apply our Jewish to condemn Him for claiming to be Son of God, but we want you to apply your law to crucify Him based on what our law said of Him even though your law says different things about Him. — Shifting Goalposts or Double-standards:

[John 19:6-8] — When the chief priests therefore and officers saw Him, they cried out, saying, “Crucify Him, crucify Him.” Pilate said to them, “You yourselves should take Him, and crucify Him yourselves: for I find no fault in Him.” The Jews answered him, “We have a law, and by our law He ought to die, because He made Himself the Son of God.” When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid;

Meanwhile, Satan could not earlier find any cause of death for Him even in the Law of Moses: Satan used men with false accusations, and yet the witnesses or false accusers couldn't establish fault in Him, until the Lord Jesus Christ gave them the only truth they were to use and crucify Him — That is - Declaring He's the Messiah, Son of God.

[Mar 14:55-64 BSB] — Now the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were seeking testimony against Jesus to put Him to death, but they did not find any. For many bore false witness against Jesus, but their testimony was inconsistent. Then some men stood up and testified falsely against Him: “We heard Him say, ‘I will destroy this man-made temple, and in three days I will build another that is made without hands.’ ” But even their testimony was inconsistent. So the high priest stood up before them and questioned Jesus, “Have You no answer? What are these men testifying against You?” But Jesus remained silent and made no reply. Again the high priest questioned Him, “Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?” “I am,” said Jesus, “and you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power and coming with the clouds of heaven.” At this, the high priest tore his clothes and declared, “Why do we need any more witnesses? You have heard the blasphemy. What is your verdict?” And they all condemned Him as deserving of death.

You see, even in the laws of Moses or Jewish law, the Lord Jesus Christ was blameless, upright, faultless or pure that they had very hard time to find any fault worthy of death in Him. He only gave them “I Am the Son of God” as their bases for condemning Him to death on grounds of blasphemy — But even that was true, not blasphemy.

However, the main bible verse in this thread that contains an example of shifting the Goalposts that Accusers use against blameless, upright, faultless or pure etc., is this:


(Daniel 6:5 - GWN) — "These men said, "We won't find anything to accuse this man, Daniel, unless we find it in his religious practices.""

(Daniel 6:5 - LBP) — "Then these men said, We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel unless we find it against him in connection with the law of his God."

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

In this Bible verse above, they have exhausted all there were in the Persian Laws and all human laws, but found Daniel blameless, upright, faultless or pure etc., and they affirm they cannot continue to depend on any of the available laws to accuse Daniel because they would fund none. So, they say they will go for a law that can accuse him on the grounds of his relationship with God or the laws of God.

So, they would shift the goalposts, get the king to make a new law or policy to use in accusing Daniel, since there was no existing Laws or standard that currently favors any accusation of Daniel.

Well, they were not resorting to false accusation, but they resorted to shifting the goalposts in still insisting on accusing or condemning a man declared blameless, upright, faultless or pure etc.

KETTLE CALLING POT BLACK

There have been times that people accused Life, accused Society, accused Nature, accused the City or accused the Economy of being cruel and tough, whereas the same accusers were the ones who made Life, Society, Nature, the City or the Economy, cruel and harsh. A song writer said, “People cry/lament that the world has spoiled, but the world was spoiled by none others but people.”

Many do not know they are part in the cause of the problems around, but only know there are problems/ills around: — They see “These are the problems” but they do not see “They are the problems.” Examples

▪︎ ▪︎ The unrighteous and fraudulent man does not see himself as cause of the problems, but as a victim that must survive by any means/way.

▪︎ ▪︎ The Liar and Dishonest man does not see himself as cause of the problems, but as a victim that must survive by any means/way.

▪︎ ▪︎ The Robber and stealing man does not see himself as cause of the problems, but as a victim that must survive by any means/way.

▪︎ ▪︎ The non-virgins, the whores, and fornicating men do not see themselves as the problems, but say a body is wood/stone, it must eat.

▪︎ ▪︎ The idolaters, the abusers, the lazy and unproductive people, the bullying people, the extortionists, the revilers, the greedy, covetous and lustful, and all sinners, unrighteous and all selfish or self-centered people do not see themselves as the problems or damages in Life, in the world, in the society, in the city or on earth; they only blame devil, nature, politicians in government, security officers, parents, poverty, hunger, bad economy, wicked neighbors or badluck as the problems.

Listen: When you try and make someone see better than you can see, you are a kindness, a lamp or light; but when you try or see someone better/clearer than you can see yourself, even if you're an optometrist, you are a hypocrite. As it is written,

[Luke 6:39-42 BSB] — Jesus also told them a parable: “Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit? A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher. Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but fail to notice the beam in your own eye? How can you say, ‘Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,’ while you yourself fail to see the beam in your own eye? You hypocrite! First take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

We all need to see ourselves better in the Mirrors of self evaluation and Mirrors of self judgment in righteousness and truth, more than we can see others in the light of judgment and truth. Light is for seeing others, but Mirror in light is for seeing oneself. Don't just have light, but also have mirrors: not rear view mirror, but self-scanning Mirror.

Those 25 men and their team of Cabals were pointing accusing finger to the city or system as the Cooking Pot that Fries/Cooks the people in the city as meat or carcass in the pot. But by the Spirit of God in words of prophecy, their hidden sins were exposed, and they were the cause of the City being the Cooking Pot because they were the killers or hunters that had killed/slain the people in the city or meat in the pot.

(Ezekiel 11:6 - BSB) - "You have multiplied those you killed in this city and filled its streets with the dead."

(Ezekiel 11:6 - LBP) - "You have multiplied your slain in this city, and you have filled its streets with the slain."

Is it pot calling kettle black or kettle calling pot black? How do they use that saying?

The dead bodies in the Mortuary were basically those you killed, why then would you speak evil of the Mortuary saying it's turns the living into dead, and the dead into very dead? You killed or atleast butchered or sliced the animal into the cauldron (pot on fire) and yet you the kettle that supplied all in the pot is accusing the pot of its contents and meat therein?

Now look at the prophecy in the main Bible verse above: Can you tell whether it's true that those men literally multiplied those they killed to extent of filling all streets in the city with the dead bodies of those they killed literally? How is that even possible literally? Yet, the Holy Spirit of Truth declared it so. Not literally in this realms, but in figure.

It's like a woman that has more than one body-counts: and the number of extra body-counts she has above one is the number of men she killed even though they still walk among the living. This is bible:

[Proverbs 23:27-28 GW] — A prostitute is a deep pit. A loose woman is a narrow well. She is like a robber, lying in ambush. She spreads unfaithfulness throughout society.

[Proverbs 2:16-19 GWN] — "[Wisdom will] also save you from an adulterous woman, from a loose woman with her smooth talk, who leaves her husband, the closest friend of her youth, and forgets her marriage vows to her God. Her house sinks down to death. Her ways lead to the souls of the dead. None who have sex with her come back. Nor do they ever reach the paths of life."

[Revelation 17:1-6 GWN] — "One of the seven angels who held the seven bowls came and said to me, "Come, I will show you the judgment of that notorious prostitute who sits on raging waters. The kings of the earth had sex with her, and those living on earth became drunk on the wine of her sexual sins." Then the angel carried me by his power into the wilderness. I saw a woman sitting on a bright red beast covered with insulting names. It had seven heads and ten horns. The woman wore purple clothes, bright red clothes, gold jewelry, gems, and pearls. In her hand she was holding a gold cup filled with detestable and evil things from her sexual sins. A name was written on her forehead. The name was Mystery: Babylon the Great, the Mother of Prostitutes and Detestable Things of the Earth. I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of God's holy people and of those who testify about Jesus. I was very surprised when I saw her."

How was she drunk with the blood of Prophets and blood of those who testify about Jesus? The said she's sitted on many waters, but she was in a wilderness where there was no water according to where the angel took John to see her. The waters she was sitting were the seven headed beast with multiple blasphemous name-counts on it, as mother of prostitute she's on-top riding the beast, not the beast on top of her.

She was drunk with blood as vampire, instead of the beast for blood.

Now back to the 25 men who figuratively killed and multiplied those they killed until they filled all streets and points in the city with their dead whom they killed. They did not literally do these things by use of weapons of war or destruction, but they did by “Devising Mischief, pushing evil counsels or propagating evil doctrines while religious from east gates of the house of God.” By just the use of their tongues:

[Proverbs 18:21 BSB] — Life and death are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.

[James 3:6-8 BSB] — The tongue also is a fire, a world of wickedness among the parts of the body. It pollutes the whole person, sets the course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell. All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles, and creatures of the sea are being tamed and have been tamed by man, but no man can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.

ATTENTION MUSLIMS

[John 8:21-25] —
Jesus again said to them, “I am going away, and you will seek Me, and you will die in your sins; and where I am going you cannot come.”

The Jews said, “Why, will He kill Himself? for He says, Where I am going, you cannot come.”

And Jesus said to them, “You are from below, and I am from above; you are of this world, but I am not of this world. I told you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.”

The Jews asked, “Who are you?”

Jesus answered them, “I am Whom I said to you from the Beginning."

Have you considered this conversation between the Lord Jesus and the unbelievers? He told them they will seek Him and still die in their sins; and no matter how much they seek Him they never come to where He's going or where He is now.

Look, I have Muslims in mind in sharing this: Can any Muslim answer these questions from the Bible passage above:

(1.) Do you agree that Jesus was not of this world like the rest of men, and that He was from above?

(2.) Do you agree that where Jesus was going or has gone back to now, you or no man can ever go there to meet Him there?

(3.) Do you agree that no amount of seeking Jesus Christ can prevent you or any man from dying in their sins? And that no amount of religious practices will prevent a man from dying in his or her sins? And that at the end, all seeking or religious practices will end in death in sin, and no man can go to where Jesus Christ is presently?

(4.) In that Bible reference, Jesus Christ mentioned one exception that will ever change the doom or fate of all men to prevent them from dying in their sins and to enable them come to where Jesus Christ is now at the end: Which of these three options is the true only or one exception or one “Unless” that Jesus Christ mentioned that can change the doom or fate that awaits all men from death in their sins and from inability to come to where the Lord Jesus had returned to be:

.A. Unless they or men seek Jesus Christ, they shall die in their sins,

.B. Unless they or men believe Jesus is He, they shall die in their sins,

.C. Unless men repent and serve Allah, they shall die in their sins.

WORD AND SPIRIT OF PROPHECY

Okay. You may recall that I earlier try to separate the difference between “saying things against” and “prophesying things against.” Now, in trying to differentiate between saying and prophesying, we saw the context where the Lord God instructed, the son of man, Ezekiel, to prophesy against them. And though the LORD said that to him, or even though Ezekiel had that instruction to prophesy against/for, yet Ezekiel neither prophesied against them from his own thoughts, nor did he suddenly open his mouth and start saying anything he likes, until the Lord or His Spirit put the word of the prophecy in his mouth.

Even if God tells you to prophesy to/against someone or something, you are not just going to speaking anything you feel like saying. For even if the LORD sent or commanded you to prophesy, the words you say in your prophesying will still be your human sayings and not the words of God. So, it is not enough for God to tell to prophesy, but God has to also put the utterance in your mouth or give you the words of the prophecy.

Because if Ezekiel, even though he is under that instruction, spoke whatever that he is going to say from himself, it will still be him saying it. It will be against the rule. So, for you to qualify to be a prophesier against, or a prophecy, whatever that he has to say must be what the Lord God is saying or said. Hence, it must be beyond “God sent/told me to prophesy/speak” and must become "Thus said the LORD” or “This is what the Spirit is saying expressly.”

So something happened between the space when the Lord told Ezekiel to prophesy against them, and when Ezekiel began to prophesy, — That which happened was the Spirit of God came over him and gave him the words or utterance he was to say.

Now, sometimes people in praying or making declaration would say they are prophesying, but they are speaking their own words. They would be saying, “I prophesy, I prophesy to you:” But the words they are prophesying to you are their own words, their own human words, and not a revelation of words of God or the utterances by the Spirit of God speaking through them.

So, even though he is using I prophesy to you in quotes to cap what he is trying to say to you, or say to that thing, it is still him saying it because that use of “I prophesy to you” is not quoting or reciting the direct words of God, direct thoughts of the Lord, or direct words of the Spirit of God.

So, you are seeing an example of a man whom God instructed to prophesy against them, yet the man did not open his mouth to say anything, and suddenly the Spirit of God came over him and gave him the words to say in order to fulfill that instruction.

(Ezekiel 11:5 - CGV) - "And the Spirit of YHWH fell on me, and He said to me, Speak, Thus says YHWH: Thus you (pl) have said, O house of Israel; for I know the things that come into your (pl) mind."

(Ezekiel 11:5 - LBP) - "And the Spirit of the LORD fell upon me, and He said to me, Speak, Thus says the LORD God: Thus have you desired, O house of Israel; for I know the inclination of your thought."

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

Let's walk through the whole scenario again: The LORD (YHWH) had earlier mounted His throne above the Cherubim, and they had lifted from the yard of the temple towards the East Gate. While Ezekiel was left behind observing, the Spirit of the LORD (Spirit of YHWH) lifted up Ezekiel after the LORD and brought him also beside the LORD and the Cherubim by the East Gate where he was seeing 25 men and recognized two among them by names and surnames or their father's names and their leadership over the nation.

The LORD (YHWH) had instructed Ezekiel to prophesy against the 25 men, but did not tell tell him exactly what to say yet. But the Spirit of the LORD (YHWH) that was upholding or uplifting Ezekiel also fell upon Ezekiel He was uplifting, and whispered or told him from within him exactly what to say, using, “Thus says the LORD (YHWH)” in distinguishing whatever he says in the prophecy as the saying of the LORD (even though it is the saying of the Spirit of God)

I recall when I had to wrestle it out with some Jehovah's witnesses that say the Spirit of God is not a Person, but an “Active Force” — while I insisted in showing them the attributes of a Person of the Spirit of God, including the Spirit of God speaking or talking as you just read in the main Bible verse above.

The LORD is the Spirit (2 Corinthians 3:17). So, when the Spirit of the LORD fell on Ezekiel and began to speak or tell him what to say, there was no need for the Spirit to tell him to quote Me as in “Thus says the Spirit” rather the Spirit told him to quote Me as in “Thus says the LORD (YHWH).

What you witnessed in this main Bible verse above of the Spirit of God supplying the exact words/utterances His ministers/messengers need to say at a point where they are required to open their mouth and begin speaking as needed at the very time, was reiterated by the Lord Jesus Christ, saying:

[Mark 13:11] — "But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what you shall speak, neither do you premeditate: but whatever shall be given you in that hour, that speak you: for it is not you that speak, but the Holy Ghost."

[Matthew 10:19-20 AKJV] — But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what you shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what you shall speak. For it is not you that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaks in you.

[Luke 21:13-15 AFV] — But it shall turn to you for a testimony. Settle therefore in your hearts not to premeditate what you shall answer. For I will give you a mouth and wisdom that all those who are opposing you shall not be able to reply to nor resist.

Someone once wrote, saying:,
“Wisemen speak because they have something to say, but fools speak because they have to say something.”

But I testify that most of the times before I spoke in the word of God, I had nothing to say but had to say something; and then the faithful Spirit of God never fails to suddenly put the Words and Wisdom in my spirit or mind to say them, and they suddenly become so deep that people would think I knew what I said before, not knowing I did not even know those things I said about one hour or two hours earlier before I ever said them. That was like what Ezekiel received in the top bible verse above.

[2 Peter 1:21 AFV] — Because prophecy was not brought at any time by human will, but the holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.

In content of what the Spirit that fell upon Ezekiel told him to say when he had nothing to say but needed to say something to fulfill the Lord's instruction to prophesy against the people he just saw less than an hour earlier: — In the content, I say — The utterance of the Spirit of God in Ezekiel came with “Word of Knowledge” that knew what the people said and what the though, including knowing the things they have in their mind and what comes into their mind.

The Spirit of God in Ezekiel by then, Knew everything in the Words+Mind of God and at the same time knew everything in the words+minds of the people. How did Paul express this? He said it's the spirit of man that knows the things of the man, as the Spirit of God know the things God.

[1 Corinthians 2:10-12 AFV] —But God has revealed them to us by His Spirit, for the Spirit searches all things—even the deep things of God. For who among men understands the things of man except by the spirit of man which is in him? In the same way also, the things of God no one understands except by the Spirit of God. Now we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit that is of God, so that we might know the things graciously given to us by God;

So how did the Spirit of God in Ezekiel both knows what God says (Thus says the LORD) and knows what the people say or think in the main bible verse above? The Spirit of God fills all men and knows all that spirits of men know.

YOUR OFFICE STEWARDSHIP AND ADMINISTRATION MUST COME UNDER PROBE, MAY BE AGAINST YOU

Children said, no weapon fashioned against me shall prosper. However, there are things (lethal) that are not weapons but yet can be used against the man on/in whom those things are found. A difference between weapons and those (lethal) things is that when a weapon is found with a man, the weapon is mostly fashioned against another man other than the man on/with whom the weapon is found; while on the other hand, when any of those lethal things is found in/on/with a man, it is fashioned against the man whom it possesses or by whom it's possessed and used.

These lethal things include: Corruption, Faults, Errors, Falsehood, Embezzlement, Mismanagement, Underperformance, Fruitless, Incompetence, Ignorance, Defilement, Evil, Iniquity, Sin etc.

◇1. **Self-Inflicted Challenges**: The challenges we face are not only external (like weapons) but can also stem from our own actions, words, and beliefs. These self-inflicted challenges can either work for us or work against us.

◇2. **Leadership Accountability**: There is a particular focus here on those in positions of power, such as government leaders, accountability structures, Antigraft/Anticorruption Structures etc.

◇3. **Judgment and Consequences**: There will be a day of judgment where leaders will be held accountable for their governance. A Day wherein all leadership, governments, administrations, offices and Stewardship, shall be probed either knowingly to those who sat in them or unknowingly. This accountability is not limited to current actions but also includes past decisions and mismanagement.

◇4. **Be sure that as a steward, you are found faithful.


[Luke 16:1-2, 10-13 BSB] — Jesus also said to His disciples, “There was a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting his possessions. So he called him in to ask, ‘What is this I hear about you? Turn in an account of your management, for you cannot be manager any longer.’ ….Whoever is faithful with very little will also be faithful with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much. So if you have not been faithful with worldly wealth, who will entrust you with true riches? And if you have not been faithful with the belongings of another, who will give you belongings of your own? No servant can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.”

Daniel was a president over atleast 40 states or 40 governors of states/provinces in Persian Empire. He was so transparent that even while he was in office, he was being probed by both the 120 governors under him and 2 other presidents with them. Daniel was not hiding under immunity clause to prevent his probe: He allowed his adversaries/enemies to probe him, search him thoroughly, even though they have wicked or ulterior motives against him. They could have framed him up or alleged he did something he didn't do, even in all their evil schemes — because Daniel was so clean that it was not possible to allege or attribute any corruption to him.

(Daniel 6:4 - FBV) — "As a result the other chief ministers and provincial governors tried to find a pretext against Daniel as to the way he ran the kingdom. But they couldn't find any cause for complaint or any corruption, for he was trustworthy. They could not discover any evidence that Daniel was negligent or corrupt."

(Daniel 6:4 - LBP) — "Then the governors and generals sought to find occasion against Daniel concerning the affairs of the kingdom; but they could find no fault or occasion because he was faithful to his God, neither were they able to find any blame or charge against him."

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

Perhaps I should put it this way: Joseph was accused of raping his master's wife in his office as household manager and general manager. Though Joseph was innocent and never did it, yet the false accusation had some evidence or facts that supported the lies. Joseph was not so transparent and separate to a degree that no woman would consider such false accusation of Fornication or rape against him.

But you see Daniel, it was even impossible to falsely accuse him even if that will earn him a temporary suspension from office to clear his name. He was so transparent, distinguished with high levels of integrity that everyone already preferred him and knew him by what was impossible to be attributed as what he did or did not do. Daniel was not unpredictable, but predicted. They couldn't accuse him of sleeping with women, for He was a eunuch (undefiled); not of fault, nor of blame, nor of negligence, public complaints, mismanagement etc. for He was faithful and trustworthy and of excellent spirit.

[Act 24:16 AKJV] — And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void to offense toward God, and toward men.

[Philippians 4:8 AKJV] — Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honest, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

PROPHESYING AGAINST DIFFERS TO SPEAKING AGAINST


◇1. **Distinction Between Speaking and Prophesying**: There is great difference between an individual speaking against sacred entities (like the church or ministers) from personal opinion versus a prophet speaking against them under divine inspiration. The former is considered a grave error, while the latter can be a fulfillment of God's will.

◇2. **Role of Prophets**: Prophets, such as Jeremiah and Ezekiel, are depicted as having the authority to prophesy against the people of God, ministers, and sacred places when inspired by the Holy Spirit. Their prophecies serve to call out sin, warn against false teachings, and urge repentance.

◇3. **Examples from Scripture**: In “Jeremiah 23:32,” Jeremiah prophesied against pastors, priests, preachers or motivation speakers that prophesy from their own minds/dreams without God sending them to tell people those motivational, prosperity or goodwishful declaration or messages they release to people, because such messages makes the people of God more worthless and useless and carnal. In “Jeremiah 25:30,” Jeremiah prophesied against the people. In “Jeremiah 26:12,” God sent Jeremiah to prophesy against the house or temple or church building, and against the city of Jerusalem. In “Ezekiel 4:7,” God sent Ezekiel to prophesy against Jerusalem to its siege. In “Ezekiel 6:2,” he was to prophesy against the mountains of Israel. In “Ezekiel 13:2,” Ezekiel prophesied against prophets of Israel that prophesied from their own heart, from their own decree (I decree), from their own “I take authority…” In “Ezekiel 20:46,” Ezekiel prophesied against the Forest of the South field. In Ezekiel 21:2, Ezekiel prophesied against the land of Israel, the promised land.

4. **Caution Against Speaking Against, instead of prophesying against**: There is a strong warning against individuals, especially those not divinely appointed or inspired by Spirit of God, from speaking against God's anointed or sacred institutions. I stresses that such actions should only be taken if one is sent by God to prophesy.

5. **Divine Authority vs. Personal Opinion**: It is crucial to recognize the difference between personal criticism and divinely inspired prophecy. Only those appointed by God should speak against sacred matters, as they do so with authority and purpose.

Those twenty-five Cabal devising mischief and giving wicked counsel against the city, saying the city is frying pan to fire or the city is cooking pot and people in it are the meat heated in the cooking pot: — They were authorized to say or do those things to the city of God, but Ezekiel was authorized to say such things in prophesying against the city. Even though Ezekiel’s prophesying does not disprove or negate the facts in what they are saying about the city but instead collaborates their sentiment about the city, yet because they were not sent or inspired prophecy of God but by evil motives, prophesying is therefore against them.

(Ezekiel 11:4 - CGV) - "Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, O son of man."

(Ezekiel 11:4 - FBV) - "So prophesy against them. Prophesy, son of man!”"

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️


If you are about say anything from your mind, heart or feeling, and then notice it is a “Saying Against Them:” — Don’t say it.

But if you are about prophesy anything from the Word or Spirit of God, and then notice it is a “Prophesy Against Them:” — Prophesy it.

Do not say that because it is a “Prophesy Against Them” — you will therefore not prophesy. No! For whether it is Prophesy Against them or it is Prophesy For them — You must prophesy.

[1 Thessalonians 5:20 AKJV] — Despise not prophesyings.

Who was that you prophet that received “Prophesy Against” a high priest of Israel and the entire family of that priest, who was also his master or lord in the house of God, but he was afraid to prophesy against the high priest and his lord? Was that not Samuel in his first time of receiving “Prophesy or Message” from The LORD against Eli the high priest and his household? Thank God Eli made him to talk.

Again, whether it is Prophesy Against them or it is Prophesy For them — You must prophesy — even if they be the national leaders or rulers

(Ezekiel 11:4 - CGV) - "Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, O son of man."

PREFERENCE IN BUILD-UP TO ELECTION

I have witnessed elections among men and most of the times people are looking at qualities, track records or parameters, that are basically carnal though they are still features or qualities of leadership. Here, you are to prioritize “The Spirit of Leadership or Spirit in a Leader” over the “Qualities of Leadership or Experience of a Leader in any build up to election or preference

Summary of Main Points:

1. **Qualities vs. Spirit**: I emphasizes that spiritual people should not assess leaders based on carnal qualities or track records but rather on the spirit within them. The focus should be his spiritual essence as leader rather than his qualifications or past achievements. Know this forever, “The Spirit is more important and more valuable than the Qualities in men to lead.’

2. **Spiritual Influence**: The world is governed by spiritual forces, and a leader's effectiveness is deeply tied to the spirit he embodies. A leader with a negative or evil spirit can fail despite having strong leadership qualities. Saul had leadership skills or qualities as king so that he kept Israel so well beyond average, and the only war he lost was the one destined for him to die by the Philistines pressures or strives. But because the Spirit of God had left him, and dwelt in David instead, evil spirit took over him in his administration. He committed blunders that may not be considered bad leadership, but are generational consequences upon his descendants and upon Israel in the next dispensation or generation: His blunders include, Amalekites he allowed to continue to live to score political points or favor from his people, but those he spared would in future attack and destroy more lives and things; priests of God he killed for their helping David whom he hated by envy or by the evil spirit inside Saul, for David was also God's anointed, and so Saul killed God's priests or God's anointed through his demonic hate; and Saul marginalized or killed a group of people living among them called the Gibeonites, to whom Israel led by Joshua swore an oath in possessing their promised land; and worse of them all was Saul's transgressions or rebellions against the Most High God and his consulting/use of witchcraft to invoke Samuel from the dead for a prophecy or message for tomorrow.

3. **Election Guidance**: In the context of upcoming elections in the United States or in any nation or level, I urge you to prioritize the spiritual condition of candidates over their policies, debates, or public personas. The Spirit of God within a candidate should be the primary criterion for selection.

4. **Manifestations of the Spirit**: Note that the Spirit of God can manifest in various ways, such as wisdom, knowledge, and excellence. You may have two or more candidates all having the Spirit of God in them: but in one candidate the Spirit of God manifests faith, miracles, healing, prosperity etc., while in the other the Spirit of God manifests wisdom, understanding, good counsel and knowledge. In this case, the candidate with wisdom is the man with excellent spirit by the Spirit of God, and he is the one that have the better spiritual qualities of leadership because of his Wisdom and Understanding better in leadership or governance than faith, miracles, healing, prosperity etc. Among two or more persons filled with the Holy Spirit of God, always choose Wisdom which is the principal thing above all, and choose understanding of Wisdom which is Excellent spirit: That is, when evaluating candidates to lead your spirit, soul or body, you should look for those who exhibit these spiritual qualities.

5. **Divine Authority**: All authority and governance come from God, and are spiritual. Therefore, a leader must have the Spirit of God or the Hand of God to be effective and to resist negative/evil spirit from hijacking his leadership/administration

Furtherance:

**Spiritual Assessment**: The selection of leaders should be based on their spiritual integrity and the presence of God's spirit rather than conventional metrics of leadership quality. **Importance of Wisdom**: Candidates who demonstrate wisdom and an excellent spirit are more suited for leadership roles, as they can navigate the complexities of governance effectively. **Awareness of Spiritual Forces**: Voters should be aware of the spiritual dynamics at play in politics, recognizing that leaders can be influenced by various spiritual forces that may not align with their promises. **Faith-Based Decision Making**: Christians are encouraged to make voting decisions grounded in spiritual discernment, seeking candidates who embody the Spirit of God and Wisdom (excellent spirit), which ultimately leads to better governance: Not presidential debates, not manifestos, not track records, not qualifications, not campaign promises etc.

How was it that Pharaoh, Nebuchadnezzar, Belshazzar and Darius, all promoted or elected Joseph and Daniel based simply on the Spirit of God and excellent spirit inside them, but we who say we have the Spirit of God in us are assessing candidates by carnal qualities or track records? If a man like Joseph stood before us as he stood the first time before Pharaoh, many would not have considered him for leadership or electing him on the following grounds: he was ex-convict or had criminal record of sleeping with a man's wife, he was a slave, he was a foreigner or was not from their tribe or nation as a dual-citizen or not eligible, or he had no track record on state or national levels as a public administrator except as houseboy, and/or he's not from their religion because he believes in a different God from the traditional gods of the Egyptians and
their ancestors. These did not matter either in election, selection or appointment of Joseph in Egypt or Daniel in Babylon/Persia; they only usually come up in contemporary carnal people. For example, recently in Africa, South Africans rejected a female national Beauty Constestant on the grounds that her father was a Nigerian, and her mother was having stolen identity and was not South African either, whereas the young Lady was born in South Africa. That was one of the highest level of foolishness and ignorance on international levels in recent times, for a people to reject someone born among them because of the origin of the person's ancestors. South Africans were foolish in doing that, and that will cost them in the days to come. You cannot say Ephraim or Manasseh are not Africans or Egyptians when they were born in Egypt simply because Joseph did not originate from Egypt. Neither deny the Lord Jesus Christ is a Judean even though His Father is from Everlasting and his mother, Mary, was a Levite, (only Joseph was from Judah), seeing the Jesus Christ was born in Bethlehem of Judah, hometown of David son of Jesse, and then the Lord became a Galilean or Nazarene in Nazareth.

Being born in any place makes anyone people of place irrespective of wherever his parents came from. Those who are reborn into the spiritual family of God are all born in Zion, making us all indigenes or people of Zion even when we before members of different gentile nations of the world. Hence, “A person was born there” is enough to cancel all arguments.

[Psalms 87:4-6 CGV] — "I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon as among those that know Me: Look, Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia: This [man] was born there. Yes, of Zion it shall be said, This man and that man were born in her; And the Most High Himself will establish her. YHWH will count, when He writes up the peoples, This [man] was born there. Selah."

How was it that Pharaoh, Nebuchadnezzar, Belshazzar and Darius, all promoted or elected Joseph and Daniel based simply on the Spirit of God and excellent spirit inside them, but we who say we have the Spirit of God in us are assessing candidates by carnal qualities or track records?

(Daniel 6:3 - CGV) — "Then this Daniel was distinguished above the presidents and the satraps, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the entire realm."

(Daniel 6:3 - LBP) — "Then Daniel excelled above all the presidents and generals, because he was more spiritual; and the king thought to set him over his whole kingdom."

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

There were three presidents that were carefully selected to build the structure of accountability over the empire and kingdom of Medo-Persians to block all losses or damages from the kingdom. The three were all selected by proven track records or qualifications suitable for accountability and integrity that such structure or organogram demands. But one among the three, the one who was not even from that tribe, country, not even born there, but had gifts or knowledge of speaking in their tongues and interpreting so well that he qualified to be seen as them, and yet he had his own different religion and God to whom He prays to. That was Daniel in their midst, of different nationale but he was almost made the Lord of the whole Realms or lord of the entire Kingdom because the king was considering making Daniel Lord over all his kingdom, for the king and his people preferred Daniel over and above both the Structures of Authority and the Structures of Accountability to the Structure of Lordship over all.

Why?

☆☆Because Daniel saved, made or earned money for them? NO!

☆☆Because Daniel had integrity, honesty, never stolen nor mismanaged, and he is cutting down cost of Governance? NO!

☆☆Because Daniel reduced inflation, increased GDP and improved Per Capita or average human development? NO!

☆☆Because Daniel invested in education, agriculture, food, economy, security, infrastructure, technology? NO!

☆☆Because Daniel had or made better policies as president? NO!

What then was the reason Daniel was preferred or distinguished above the other presidents and generals or governors? What did he do that earned him the “Preference” and Potential “Election” among the king and his people?

It was not what he did, but what/whom he had in spirit/spiritual — Excellent Spirit. One of the Bible Translations I cite said it was because Daniel had “Excellent Spirit” and the other said it was because Daniel was “More Spiritual.”

Having the Holy Spirit of God in you makes you spiritual, but having an Excellent spirit by the Spirit of God in you makes you “More Spiritual.”

[1 Corinthians 2:12-15] — "Now we did not receive the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God, in order that we might know the things freely given to us by God; which things we also speak, not in words taught in human wisdom, but in words taught by the Holy Spirit, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he that is spiritual discerns all things, yet he himself is discerned by no man."

ATTITUDE TO THE LAND OF INHERITANCE

When I call those 25 men “Cabal’ or ‘Sect” that devise mischief, push wicked counsel and evil contents to spread or trend in the country/city as the Lord revealed to Ezekiel (11:1-2), I wasn't totally disconnecting them from those who hijack government, political powers, economic saboteurs and diplomatic influencers/pressurizers to selfish objectives.

However, the Lord God also classifies “Evil Communication or Evil Opinion Pushers and Evil Reporters” among the Cabals in the land. These are people who use media or mouths to raise Evil reports, say evil things about the country/city, and by what they say people are either discouraged, hopeless and would refuse to build or invest in that country or city because of bad images projected or evil reports spread by those men against the country, the city or the land of God.

For example, twelve spies returned from exploring the Promised Land and ten of them brought up or made up evil reports about the land, saying, “It’s a land that eats up its inhabitants on it, and there are giants (sins of anak) that see us as grasshoppers just as we saw ourselves before them.” Because of these rumors and tales, the people were greatly discouraged from advancing or desiring to inherit, invest or build, in the land that God gave to their fathers or ancestors. Imagine some persons speaking evil about your father's lands in your village, and by what you heard of the evils there you are now afraid to even go to your own hometown/village, talkless of building/investing therein. So, those who speak evil of an inheritance given to them or to others by God, and by what they say/do they succeed in discouraging development, hindering planting/farming in the land, prevent investments, or tourism/travelers from going to an inheritance of God to any people, God will destroy them and they shall be uprooted from the surface of the earth.

Therefore, not to become a stumbling against any development that will turn any wilderness into paradise or glorious city; Neither be the menace or plague that turns paradise or good lands into wilderness or terrible because of your activities, words or hatred. This is a warning: You cannot destroy one part of the earth that's an inheritance to others and think you shall inherit any part of the earth; That will be nullified against you. In the days to come, only those certified to have walked in meekness on the surface of the earth shall qualify to dwell on it and inherit any part of the earth they are given by God. Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.

Woe to you that have used your mouth or actions to condemn any land that's an inheritance to any people, either by robbery or kidnapping you scared people away, or by violence you scared away farmers and businesses, or by the evil that came out of your mouth you caused that people would no longer build, invest, develop, repair or fix, any land that's an inheritance of God to any people whether you love or hate those people.

However, you should warn people of a danger or threat in a land, lest they blindly fall into the pits or traps. Yet that must not be in the spirit of discouraging them or separating them from the land. Your goal is to make every land or region far better than you met or saw it, and yet to save lives of people in any land you can. You must rejoice to see developments in any land, whether or not you are part of the land.

Now, having been reformed by these, let us now see the 25 men Cabal that were devising mischief and wicked counsel against the city by what they were saying or preaching in evil report against the city to discouraged people from building, investing or developing that city.

(Ezekiel 11:3 - CGV) - "that say, [The time] is not near to build houses: this [city] is the cauldron, and we are the flesh."

(Ezekiel 11:3 - FBV) - "They're saying, ‘Is this the time for us to be building houses? The city is the cooking pot, and we are the meat inside it.’"

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

That was their counsel or advice, their sayings, which prevents people from rebuilding or reinvesting in the City: perhaps due to recent event that happened to the people and buildings in that city.

■1■ — The Ten spies described the Promised Land as a Land that eats up every people living on it, except the giants (Numbers 13:32).

■2■ — The Twenty-five Cabal described the City (Jerusalem) as a Cooking Pot (Cauldron) and the people in the city are the meat cooked in the cooking pot.

There are many People like them that can murmur and speak very evil and negative things about their lands, country, city or somewhere else, and yet they are dwelling or living on the same lands they so despise, accuse or condemn. What is being ungrateful? What is being wicked?

Some even say their country (not to mention) is already hell on earth, and can't imagine another hell. And one said if he ever see the angel that brought him into this country, he will challenge the angel saying, why did you bring me and put me in this country out of all places in the world?

Now to comfort those who mourn in any land, behold the whole earth is full of the glory of the Lord, and Hosanna is in the highest in any land where you are. No matter the darkness that covers the land, even the gross darkness that covers the people in various positions in the land, the Light and Glory of God fill the earth and all places where you are, been or will be. You just need to see through the light of God.

STRUCTURES OF ACCOUNTABILITY

I want you to learn this about Kingdom structures. It's not always about how much authority, power, strength, potency, control or dominion you have, but much more about your closeness to the King and position in the Kingdom Structures.

Example, assuming Mr. A is given great spiritual gifts, powers and authority to command in heaven or earth, and the miracles, signs and wonders will obey him. And assuming Mr. B do not have such authority, gift or powers, but he is to oversee Mr. A who have far more powers and influence than him in the field. You see that though Mr. A has higher spiritual gifts/Authority, he is subject or accountable to Mr. B who seems to have none.

A youth may be highly stronger, more skilled and talented than his or her father and mother, and yet in positioning he/she is under his/her parents. A male can be stronger than a female and yet be under her. A man may own or have built a public building and still have no right or authority to use or enter the female changing room or female rest room during an event with multitude of men and women using his facilities.

There are angels that are more gifted and more powerful than their leader or commander. And in some area, have more authority or access than their leader to whom they are accountable or subject to.

So, Authority is not by how the structure is defined in the kingdom, though the structure respects authority. You are not greater than some one just because you have more authority than the person: rather you are greater than the person because of your proximity to the King of Kings, because you are the person's access to the King of Kings and/or because are accountability over the person before the LORD.

So, in kingdom Structures, Accountability (Charge) over a person is what counts above Authority (power/right) over a person. It's not just about how much you command and people or things obey, or how much you control/influence; rather it's about how much you are held accountable over and for. If you understand this beyond “Bookish Knowledge” you will know and have deep submission and humility.

I am not interested in those God gave authorities over me, but I am interested in whoever God gave accountability over me.

[Hebrews 13:17] — "Listen to your spiritual leaders, and obey them: for they are watchful guardians of your souls, as one who must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you."

If God has given you “Charge” or “Commission” over me, and therefore you must give account of me to Him because you are accountable over me, then you are my leader and I must submit to you. It does not mean I am looking for a leader or for someone to be accountable over me. The only Person I want to be accountable over me is the Lord Jesus Christ Himself or the Spirit of God. But as I have learnt, the Lord God Himself decides whom He places accountable over the others in His Kingdom Structures.

He gave the commission to His Apostles, and He gave the Charge to Moses and Aaron making them accountable for the children of Israel to bring them out of Egypt (Exodus 6:13). And from that time, Moses knew God was holding him and Aaron accountable for the continued stay of Israel in Egypt, and Moses did all he could in agreement with God to see to it that the people were delivered from the bandage so that he would not bear the responsibility on his head in judgment.

Accountability was laid on the Lord Jesus Christ, and He had to come down from heaven to earth to fulfill. What else will man a man leave heaven of all places to earth to suffer and be hated and killed by men?

[John 6:38-40 BSB] — 38 For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but to do the will of Him who sent Me. 39 And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that I shall lose none of those He has given Me, but raise them up at the last day. 40 For it is My Father’s will that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in Him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.”

Darius, a king of kings, built his kingdom structures with 120 satraps in authority, but over and above those in authority, he built structures of accountability with three men he was holding accountable for his kingdom not to suffer any loss or damages whatsoever. And wisely, he put a man of God and man of excellence among the three Structures of Accountability.

(Daniel 6:2 - CGV) — "and over them three presidents, of whom Daniel was one; that these satraps might give account to them, and that the king should have no damage."

(Daniel 6:2 - LBP) — "And over them three presidents, of whom Daniel was one, that the generals might give account to them, so that they might not trouble the king."

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

Daniel was that man of God and man of excellence in the midst of the three Structures of Accountability that Darius set up above structures of authorities and therefore, there was no lost or damage in the entire realm or kingdom of Darius. With a man like Daniel, a man of God, man of integrit, man undefiled by women, man of excellence and professor in various fields of academic excellence and science and linguistics: Tell me how any loss or damage can come into Darius kingdom where such a man as Daniel the president or presiding structure of accountability over the structures of authorities or political structures? If the loss or damage is coming from spiritual, Daniel was a man of God or prophet to prevent it, and if the loss or damage is coming from incompetence or cluelessness, Daniel was of excellent spirit to prevent it.

I've seen men with political structures grab power or presidency but they do not have Accountability Structures or Competence. Do not be like them: rather learn from Darius, who built both the Structures of Authority and the Structures of Accountability above the it. In building structures, put Authority or politics below or beneath Accountability as Darius deed. Hence, 3 accountable men overseeing 120 authorities or Governors.

GOD WILL EXPOSE THE CABALS

Someone wrote saying, “Small minds talk about people, but great minds talk about ideas.” This saying is not according to the wisdom of God, but to the wisdom of philosophers among men who hold such philosophy. There is no man or mind that talks about people as much as God Himself talks about people. He talks more about people more than He talks about ideas, and yet He is the greatest Mind.

In talking about people, God does not gossip about people, but He does talk about them behind their backs or without their knowledge/presence when He talks about them to either angels or to His prophets/messengers. Yes, the Most High talks about the dirty secrets of men or women to His Ministers. Yet, that is not gossiping or talebearing, but confessing or exposing them.

There was an instance, in which 25 great minds gathered and were talking about ideas (precisely evil ideas, mischief, wicked counsel, evil content agendas), by which they secretly rule and dictates what goes on in the public from behind the scenes; and meanwhile, God was talking about those great minds to His ministers, revealing their dirty secrets and evil agendas.

(Ezekiel 11:2 - LBP) - "Then the LORD said to me, Son of man, these are the men who devise mischief and give wicked counsel in this city,

(Ezekiel 11:2 - BSB) - And the LORD said to me, “Son of man, these are the men who plot evil and give wicked counsel in this city.”

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

He did not give him the gifts of knowledge to automatically know these things about those 25 men, for He would rather talk and expose them with His Mouth in conversation.

The Lord God was talking about those 25 men to His minister, Ezekiel, saying, “These are the men that devise mischief, that give wicked counsel in the city, etc.” It’s like saying these are the secret “Cabals (Sects)” that hold secret meetings in the dark and decides the governance, operations and devices in the country, city or society, implementing evil and wicked schemes and bad counsels and mischiefs that make the country either ungovernable without them or enslaved by them.

Now you know a reference where the Lord God revealed and exposed the city/country Cabals that plant wiles, devise mischief and wicked schemes, and spread mischievous counsels or mischievous contents to seduce and corrupt the morals of the people with immorality, devilish doctrines and pushing evil but trending contents to fill people's minds.

So, God knows and will expose all the evil Cabals behind the scenes.

BUILDING KINGDOM STRUCTURES

After God created the worlds, He was pleased to create and set over them rulers as lights, stars and sun, over them. Though He Himself is the Sun or Light and Ruler of all creations, He was pleased to ordain, appoint and exalt other sun and stars to rule on His behalf while He presides Supreme above and over all of them. Thus, the Kingdom of God is structured with “Ministers” or “Princes” whom He appointed and ordained, and by whom He divided or structured His Domain and Realms into distinct Government Areas or Divisions with structured boundaries.

So, there are both “Structures of Authorities” and “Hierarchies of Authorities” in Rankings within frameworks of the Kingdom of God both in the heavens and on earth. Now, that's how God rules or runs His Kingdom and Creation, through Ordinances or Ministers whom He appointed to represent Him in various political divisions or structures, so that even though He Himself can do all things by Himself at the same time, He will rather share His Responsibilities or Authorities to various Ordinances and Ministers (Princes) He appointed in His pleasure.

(Daniel 6:1 - CGV) — "It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom a hundred and twenty satraps, who should be throughout the entire kingdom;"

(Daniel 6:1 - LBP) — "IT pleased Darius to appoint over the kingdom a hundred and twenty generals to be over his whole kingdom;"

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

Darius had the greatest kingdom in the world that made him king of kings by then. But his pleasure of Kingdom came from his choosing, appointing and ordaining 120 princes as generals, lords or rulers over his kingdom. Him alone being the only lord, the only ruler or administrator couldn't please him after he had the kingdom.

● God appointed the kingdom to Darius, and Darius in turn appointed the kingdom to 120 rulers accountable to 3 presidents

● The Father appointed a Kingdom to the Lord Jesus, and the Lord Jesus in turn appointed the kingdom to 12 Rulers/Judges (the Apostles) over Israel in the Kingdom of God - [Luke 22:29-30]

Within their own jurisdictions, those 120 Princes or 12 apostles also had power to appoint or ordain whomever they would to also build a chain of hierarchy below them for structure in order of governance and division of responsibilities and authorities.

One of the things that the Anointing of Samuel changed in David was to move him from being a last administrator in rank to becoming the first administrator. Thus he began to become by first appointing keeper of his father's sheep instead of him doing it himself (1 Samuel 17:20), against where his eldest brother wanted David as the last born to remain (1 Samuel 17:28); and even the carriage or package his father assigned to him to bring into the field to his brethren there, David also assigned the carriage to another keeper (1 Samuel 17:30). So, by the time he stood before the king to take up the challenge to face Goliath, David had already built few structures under him.

You see David built kingdom structures before he received the Kingdom, but Darius received the Kingdom before he built kingdom structures. Learn.

THE SPIRIT’S LEVITATION AND ELEVATION


The Spirit lifted me up against gravity and my self weight: I felt so light, and also felt comfortably secure because the Spirit was more real to me than gravity or falling down. I had almost forgotten that Spirits are powerful and stronger than natural forces or carnal weight. No matter how much gentle the Spirit of God moves and lights, dwelling inside tiny things or beings like us, do not forget the Spirit is higher than might or power. I understood better what the Lord God meant by “Not by Might, nor by Power, but by My Spirit, “ says the Lord. The Spirit of God is in a transcendental class of His Own far beyond the Might, Strength or Powers. He does not only have power, but He is Power above powers. The Lord Jesus said, “Wait until you are endued with Power from on high or you shall receive power after the Holy Ghost is come upon you.” The Power He gave us to become the Sons of God through our faith in Him is the Spirit of God He gave us.

The Spirit of God is Power applicable both in Spiritual realms and in the Physical realms. He is both a spiritual Power and a physical Power as you saw Samson had. For Samson was not basically powerful by capacity of his muscles or natural strength, rather the Spirit of God was the physical Power that was in Samson, enabling him to lift gates that would have strained 100 men to lift, to tear a lion like a lamb or to smite a thousand soldiers in one spot a jawbone etc.

Now, learn this, spirits are strong both in spirit realms and in natural or physical realms. But a natural man or beast only has a strength that applies in his natural or physical realm but does not apply in the spirit realms. One of the transfigurations in translation or change that the first resurrection will accomplish in those who are blessed and holy enough to partake therein is the translation of the natural body into a spiritual body.

[1 Corinthians 15:42-45] — "So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit."

I hereby mention two Men of God in the scriptures that were lifted up and taken to a location around the temple of God by two different spirits. Both of these Men of God were referred to as “Son of man” in the scriptures, and both were in physical bodies, but a Spirit without a body took them up to a location in the same physical temple at different times:

■ The Lord Jesus Christ Himself was the Son of man that was taken up by a spirit called the Devil or Satan to the pinnacle of the temple, but before this happened behold:

■ Ezekiel the prophet was the son of man that was taken up the Spirit of God and taken to the eastern gate of the LORD’S house.

(Ezekiel 11:1 - AFV) - "And the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the eastern gate of the LORD’S house, which faces eastward. And behold, twenty-five men were at the opening of the gate; among whom I saw Jaazaniah the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people."

(Ezekiel 11:1 - FBV) - "Then the Spirit picked me up and took me to the eastern entrance of the Lord's Temple. Twenty-five men were gathered there at the entrance. I recognized among them Jaazaniah son of Azzur and Pelatiah son of Benaiah, leaders of the people."

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

Ezekiel was inside the temple yard or not far away from the Eastern Gate: and the Lord could have just called him to walk or come to that Eastern Gate of the Temple where Ezekiel was. But notwithstanding the short distance from where he was to where the Lord wanted to show him things, the Lord still made him to use flight of the Spirit to get there. Like a man who could have walked 50-100 meters to a place, but yet aircraft or the Spirit lifted him up and brought him there instead.

Now understand that Ezekiel was able to see those he saw in the gates because of the flight or uplifting of the Spirit of God that brought him. A reason he was uplifted by the Spirit instead of just humanly walking to the gate to see for himself, was to enable him see properly and efficiently from the elevation he was uplifted.

From where he was seeing, he numbered another set of 25 men gathered in the eastern gate of the temple, but different from the first set of 25 men he earlier saw in the same eastern side of the temple worshiping the sun toward the east. This set of 25 men, different from the other 25 men, where gathered in the eastern entrance but no image of jealousy that provokes to jealousy in this entrance gate unlike as it was earlierin the Northern gate before the LORD destroyed them all.

However, though he was uplifted by the Spirit to see these men, he was not enabled to know them by supernatural knowledge, but by facial recognition or outward appearances: Thus, he only recognized two among them, but not knowing all the remaining 23 men.

There was another man of God in our contemporary times, whom the Lord God had lifted up to a fellowship gathering of people in a church or fellowship venue: In this case, the man of God did not recognize any of the people gathered in the fellowship, but he had knowledge or word of knowledge in that vision to know supernatural secrets of everyone of them there particularly the trials each and all of them were facing in their lives, and yet they were all gathered to worship God sincerely in the midst of their trials and sufferings. Their genuine worship inspite of their great trials and problems caused God shed tears and the heavens paid great attention to God and to them then.

Nevertheless, though Ezekiel was not seeing them through divine knowledge or word of knowledge (but by mere acquaintance or facial recognition of just two among them), what Ezekiel was lacking in knowledge about them God would use His Mouth to tell or explain to Ezekiel about the 25 men He was showing him.

(Daniel 5:31 AFV) — "And Darius the Mede took the kingdom, being about sixty-two years old."

(Daniel 5:31 - LOGOS) — "And Darius the Mede succeeded to the kingdom, being sixty-two years old."

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

DARIUS, A KING OF KINGS

After the preceding Bible verse (containing “that night Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans was killed”), came this next bible verse above (containing “Darius the Mede took the kingdom, when he's 62 years”)

In the Gap between the preceding Bible verse or demise of Belshazzar and the next/current Bush or the beginning of the Reign of Darius as “King of Kings, These things happened: —

○1● — The first segment of the prophecy/interpretation of Daniel to Nebuchadnezzar's first dream were fulfilled. The head of gold (kings of Babylon) was overthrown by the chest of silver (kings of Persia) as was seen in the gigantic Image or Statue in Nebuchadnezzar's visions.

○2● — All the prophecy/interpretation of Daniel to Belshazzar about the Handwriting on the wall was fulfilled.

○3● — The first king of Persia, the very king that overthrew the head of gold in the Silver Reign or the very king that killed Belshazzar in the preceding Bible verse, was omitted in this Chapter or thread: That king was called “Cyrus the Great” king of Persia.

So, before Darius the Mede took the kingdom, Cyrus the Persian took the kingdom from the Chaldeans or Babylonians through conquest. Darius in the bible verse “took the kingdom” but as “succeeded or as a succession” because he only succeeded king Cyrus, who actually took the kingdom by warfare and conquest (not mere succession). So, the coming of Darius the Mede, after Cyrus the Persian, as king of kings was in the fulfilling of the “Peres” of Daniel concerning sharing or dividing the kingdom to both the Medes and the Persians.

As for Daniel's portion in the Peres, due to Belshazzar exalting him into the third highest ruler in the kingdom: Daniel enjoyed in both the Reign of Cyrus he did not mention in this chapter and the Reign of Darius he mentioned in this chapter. This he testified in next chapter:

[Daniel 6:28 BSB] — So Daniel prospered during the reign of Darius and the reign of Cyrus the Persian.

So, there was a Cyrus in power before Darius in power over Daniel. And don't judge this according to the order Daniel presented these two kings, lest you think Darius came first before Cyrus as in the reference I just cited. Just know that from the death of Belshazzar, Daniel was no longer placing chapters or revelations chronologically because he seemed to place events that happened during Darius Era ahead of events that happened during Cyrus Era. Examples;

In “Daniel 1:21” — Daniel remained there (Babylon) until the first year of King Cyrus. That first year of king Cyrus was the year he killed Belshazzar and overthrew the kingdom of Babylon, and took Daniel away from Babylon as well. But in the top bible verse above, Daniel did not mention Cyrus but Darius.

Again, the message or revelations of “Daniel 10” would have come before those in “Daniel 9” chronologically:

■1> “Daniel 7” — The Visions, Revelations and Messages of Daniel in “Daniel 7” came in the first year of the Reign of Belshazzar, far before the Handwriting on the Wall. Chronologically, ‘Daniel 7’ came before ‘Daniel 5’ but after “Daniel 4.”

[Daniel 7:1 BSB] — In the first year of the reign of Belshazzar over Babylon, Daniel had a dream, and visions passed through his mind as he lay on his bed. He wrote down the dream, and this is the summary of his account.

■2> “Daniel 8” — The Visions, Revelations and Messages of Daniel in “Daniel 8” came in the third year of the Reign of Belshazzar, far before the Handwriting on the Wall. Chronologically, ‘Daniel 8’ came before ‘Daniel 5’ but after “Daniel 7.”

[Daniel 8:1 BSB] — In the third year of the reign of King Belshazzar, a vision appeared to me, Daniel, subsequent to the one that had appeared to me earlier.

■3> “Daniel 10” — The Visions, Revelations and Messages of Daniel in “Daniel 10” came in the third year of the Reign of Cyrus, far before the Reign of Darius. Chronologically, ‘Daniel 10’ came before ‘Daniel 9’ but after “Daniel 5.”

[Daniel 10:1 BSB] — In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia, a message was revealed to Daniel, who was called Belteshazzar. The message was true, and it concerned a great conflict. And the understanding of the message was given to him in a vision.

So, even in 3 years into Cyrus reign, Daniel still retained Belteshazzar as his nickname, which Nebuchadnezzar gave him for his wisdom and insight — Meaning Daniel still remained prominent in his reputation for wisdom of the gods in the Reign of Cyrus before Darius.

■4> “Daniel 9” — The Visions, Revelations and Messages of Daniel in “Daniel 9” came in the first year of the Reign of Darius, which is the focus in the top bible verse above. Chronologically, ‘Daniel 9’ came last after “Daniel 12.”

[Daniel 9:1 BSB] — In the first year of Darius son of Xerxes, a Mede by descent, who was made ruler over the kingdom of the Chaldeans



Some historical sources disagree with this verse saying Darius was not the son of Xerses (Ahasuerus) but reverse is the case, and that Darius was not from Mede but was a Persian.

To arrange the historic names according to their order of reign, their parentage, and the length of their reign, here's a summary based on historical sources:

1. **Cyrus the Great** (Cyrus II of Persia)
- **Order of Reign**: Reigned first
- **Son of**: Cambyses I
- **Length of Reign**: 559–530 BCE, approximately 29 years

2. **Darius I** (Darius the Great)
- **Order of Reign**: Reigned second
- **Son of**: Hystaspes
- **Length of Reign**: 522–486 BCE, approximately 36 years

3. **Xerxes I** (Ahasuerus in the Bible)
- **Order of Reign**: Reigned third
- **Son of**: Darius I
- **Length of Reign**: 486–465 BCE, approximately 21 years

4. **Artaxerxes I**
- **Order of Reign**: Reigned fourth
- **Son of**: Xerxes I
- **Length of Reign**: 465–424 BCE, approximately 41 years

So the order according to reign is:

1. Cyrus the Great
2. Darius I
3. Xerxes I (Ahasuerus)
4. Artaxerxes I




Well, you recall I said “Daniel 9” is chronologically the last chapter of Daniel, and should have come last or after “Daniel 12.” It was in Daniel 9 that he understood by books that Israel should spend 70 years in exile before they are restored into their land and freedom again. But Gabriel came to reveal 70 weeks as against 70 years for the total redemption and restoration of Israel and the world.

However, the 70 years were completed in the first year of Darius, which is when Darius was 62 years ago according to the top Bible verse above. So, though it seems all Daniel's visions and revelations came after Daniel was delivered from the lions’ den, chronologically all Daniel's visions and revelations in the Book of Daniel actually happened before he was thrown and delivered from the Lions' den.

On the hand, Daniel 10, Daniel 11 and Daniel 12, were together as the same Angel (not Gabriel) was speaking with Daniel throughout the three chapters. It was the same angel that the Prince of Persia (archangel incharge of Persia) arrested in the third year of Cyrus, and that angel was in custody with the kings (not one king but all the remaining kings) of Persia for 21 days before another prince (chief of the princes) or archangel Michael incharge of Israel came to rescue the angel that was trapped for 21 days by another archangel or prince of Persia.

But the angel said something that happened in their realm but had not happened in the world yet: he said, but I also helped Michael in the first year of Darius, just as Michael help me in during the 21 days I was held by the prince of Persia. He had seen all the kings of Persia that were to come during the 21 days with them, and he promised to return and fight back the prince of Persia, which would result in the kingdom taken away from Persia and given to the Greece, fulfilling the second segment of Nebuchadnezzar's first Dream, Kingdom of Bronze Tommy and Thighs taking over from the kingdom of Silver Chest.

So don't mistake mentioning of the first year of Darius in Daniel 11 as if it was so already in calendar, though in spiritual it already happened

[Daniel 11:1-3 BSB] — “And I, in the first year of Darius the Mede, stood up to strengthen and protect him. Now then, I will tell you the truth: Three more kings will arise in Persia, and then a fourth, who will be far richer than all the others. By the power of his wealth, he will stir up everyone against the kingdom of Greece. Then a mighty king will arise, who will rule with great authority and do as he pleases.

[Daniel 11:1-3 GW] — During Darius the Mede’s first year as king, I strengthened and defended Michael.” ⌞The person who looked like a human continued,⌟ “What I am about to tell you is the truth. Three more kings will rule Persia. Then there will be a fourth, who will become much richer than all the others. As he becomes strong through his wealth, he will turn everyone against the kingdom of Greece. “Then a warrior-king will come. He will rule a vast empire and do as he pleases.



Back to the top Bible verse above:

(Daniel 5:31 AFV) — "And Darius the Mede took the kingdom, being about sixty-two years old."

Darius’ age was revealed in the bible at the time he took the kingdom. It was not the days of his kingdom that was numbered as in Mene, but rather it was the days of his life before he received the Kingdom. He was 62 years before he took the kingdom, and from then forward, his remaining days were the days of his kingdom and not just days of his life. We saw from the historical sources I mentioned earlier that Darius reigned for 36 years. If we adopt this, then we say his Kingdom endured for 36 years. But his age was 98 years on earth.

Being 62 years, he was born 8 years after Judah and Jerusalem were carried into captivity of Babylon by Nebuchadnezzar. So, being that he is 62 years and in his first year reign, the People of Judah have also completed their 70 years imprisonment or captivity. Daniel worried about that in “Daniel 9.” Well let me recite the bible reference using GW (God's Word) translation because it rearranged “Darius son of Xerxes (Ahasuerus)” as other bible versions puts it into “Xerxes son of Darius” as GWN Or GW puts it to correlate with historical sources.

[Daniel 9:1-3 GW] — Xerxes’ son Darius, who was a Mede by birth, was made ruler of the kingdom of Babylon. 2 In the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, learned from the Scriptures the number of years that Jerusalem would remain in ruins. The LORD had told the prophet Jeremiah that Jerusalem would remain in ruins for 70 years. 3 So I turned to the Lord God and looked to Him for help. I prayed, pleaded, and fasted in sackcloth and ashes.

However, Daniel was not the only man of God and prophet that sought for the restoration of Jerusalem in the Reign of Darius. Somehow, while Daniel was prospering in the Reign of Darius and Cyrus, he did not realize that what God promised through Jeremiah on the 70 years had already begun to happen through other men of God, like Ezra. Infact, there were three or four prophets and bible books beside Daniel that were written during and in connection with the first and second year of Darius, king of Persia, regarding the rebuilding and restoration of the destroyed Jerusalem from the exile. These include:

♤1♤ — EZRA: — Ezra the Priest began with the first year of Cyrus to rebuild the temple, but he was stopped by the oppositions, until the first and second year of Darius.

[Ezra 1:1-4 GW] — 1 The promise the LORD had spoken through Jeremiah was about to come true in Cyrus’ first year as king of Persia. The LORD inspired the king to make this announcement throughout his whole kingdom and then to put it in writing. 2 This is what King Cyrus of Persia says: The LORD God of heaven has given me all the kingdoms of the world. Then he ordered me to build a temple for him in Jerusalem (which is in Judah). 3 May God be with all of you who are his people. You may go to Jerusalem (which is in Judah) and build a temple for the LORD God of Israel. He is the God who is in Jerusalem. 4 All who ⌞choose to⌟ remain behind, wherever they may be living, should provide the people who are leaving with silver, gold, supplies, livestock, and freewill offerings to be used in God’s temple in Jerusalem.

[Ezra 4:4-5] — "And the people of the land weakened the hands of the people of Judah, and hindered them in building, and continued hiring people against them, plotting to frustrate their counsel, all the days of Cyrus king of the Persians, and until the reign of Darius king of the Persians."

[Ezra 4:24] — "Thus the work of the house of God in Jerusalem ceased, and it was at a standstill until the second year of the reign of Darius king of the Persians."

[Ezra 6:12-15] — "And may the God whose name dwells there, overthrow every king and people who shall stretch out his hand to alter or destroy the house of God which is in Jerusalem. I, Darius have made a decree; let it be diligently attended to.” Then Tattenai the governor on this side beyond the river, Shethar-Boznai, and his fellow servants, according to that which King Darius sent, so they did diligently. And the elders of the Jews and the Levites built, at the prophecy of Haggai the prophet, and Zechariah the son of Iddo; and they built up, and finished it, by the decree of the God of Israel, and by the decree of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes, kings of the Persians. And they finished this house by the third day of the month of Adar, which is the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king."

♤2♤ — HAGGAI: — Haggai the prophet began with the second year of Darius the king of kings.

[Haggai 1:1 BSB] — 1 In the second year of the reign of Darius, on the first day of the sixth month, the word of the LORD came through Haggai the prophet to Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, stating”

♤3♤ — ZACHARIAH: — Zachariah the prophet began with the second year of Darius the king of kings.

[Zechariah 1:1 BSB] — In the eighth month of the second year of Darius, the word of the LORD came to the prophet Zechariah son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, saying:
