15. The Man Who Confronted the World - PP

Moses and Aaron went in and told Pharaoh, “Thus says the Lord God of Israel: ‘Let My people go, that they may hold a feast to Me in the wilderness.’” And Pharaoh said, “Who is the Lord, that I should obey His voice to let Israel go? I do not know the Lord, nor will I let Israel go” (Exodus 5:1-2).

The Church has never known the real issues of this present age because she has never known her purpose.

I am compelled to apply Moses’ confrontation with Pharaoh – and with Israel – directly to our task in the present day, truths of the gospel we have ignored until now.

The Apocalypse Begins. Up until March of 2020, we viewed Christians across the earth as a large number of people who believed in Jesus, but who were simply living their lives in this age.

We could say that the apocalypse began in March of 2020 with the removal of the cover hiding the intentions of the Pharisees to eliminate the name of Jesus from memory. The display of medical tyranny closing almost all churches across the earth by the weak commands of little politicians allows us now to set forth the issues as they stand.

Moses defeating Pharaoh and Egypt, Jesus defeating Sin and Death, and you and me defeating the Beast and the Dragon are the same arc.

The Issue. Because we understand the gospel, we now know that this confrontation ending in victory is something entirely different than what we once imagined.

The issue is NOT Pharaoh or Egypt; it’s not Sin or Death; it’s not the Dragon or the Beast.  The issue is God’s people, getting them to agree to leave that which is not God’s salvation and to enter into the Promised Land of Christ our life in all that it means.

To leave a world of death and to enter a world of life flowing out from their bellies, a world in which Jesus’ sustaining all is the only thing known.

Trans-Humans. The thing that has come clear is that the kingdoms of this world do not agree. In their minds, Christians are just humans belonging entirely to them.

Consider trans-humans as intended by the technocrats. By vaccinations, etc., human DNA is altered, and radio frequency chips are inserted into the blood stream whereby the human body and brain are connected to the world wide web. This will give people access to all knowledge from within their own minds, and it will give the technocrats the means to insert and direct all human thought.

All financial transactions will be routed through this connection, thus without it no one will buy or sell.

Contrary to Jesus. This scenario is not science fiction, but science journals. If someone were to call this “the mark of the beast,” they could not be refuted. Nonetheless, the issue, again, is NOT “the mark of the beast.”

God has one issue for human life in this world – the proving of Jesus faithful and true against all accusation. And when we say “Jesus,” we do not mean some humanoid demigod far away from us, but the One who is every Word God speaks, sustaining all things by His good speaking.

Nothing is more contrary to Jesus speaking each individual person every moment than attaching each to the www.

Persuasion. Consider the progression of the plagues, from one to ten. On the surface, the primary purpose was to persuade Pharaoh to let go. But the second purpose was to persuade the children of Israel to go.

But consider HOW Moses accomplished this persuasion. – He did nothing more than raise his stick or dip it in the water. “It’s not by inward fortitude or by outward strength, but by My Spirit,” says the Lord.

We are not speaking of any physical violence, then or now, nonetheless, God’s persuasion will be convincing.

Our Biggest Challenge. Now, I want to apply this part of Moses’ story to our world today. Nonetheless, the specifics of God through Moses will direct our study of God through us.

And I want to look at three things. The first is that “Pharaoh” that is our opposition in today’s world. Second is the life into which we are taking God’s people, and third is our instruments and actions of persuasion.

Our biggest challenge is not the governments of this world who are bringing the Church under their absolute control, but rather the commitment of our brethren to these wicked people as if they are “God’s-way.”

Pharaoh as Opposition. Moses first confrontation with Pharaoh resulted directly in an increase of the burden of slavery on the people. This was God’s intention, because the people had to get a grip on how contrary the world system was to their peace and prosperity. They had to see Pharaoh as opposition.

Nonetheless, there was NO military conflict between Israelites and Egyptians. This is critical, especially in our day.

Here is what God does. – For this reason I have raised you up, so that I might prove My power in you, and so that My name should be published abroad in all the earth.” So then, to whom He wants, He shows mercy and whom He wants, He makes inflexible (Romans 9:17-18).

Vessels of Destruction. What if God, wanting to show set opposition and to make known His power, bore in much patience the vessels of opposition having been designed for ruin and loss. And that He might make known the riches of His glory upon vessels of mercy (Romans 9:22-23).

NOTHING in church history has been more destructive to the life of the Church and to her knowledge of Salvation than “Christian” rulers wielding violence towards people, whether they be kings, ecclesiastics, or politicians.

This darkness runs from Constantine to Donald Trump and everything in-between. Wanting to “save” the powerful has been the “Achille’s heel” for Christians.

Do Not Pray for the World. All who wield violence “for God” are PRETENDING to be “Christian” in order to sit on top of people. They are ALWAYS lying. All are vessels of opposition, set in the earth for destruction.

I do not pray for the world (Jesus, in John 17). When you “pray” for the president, you are setting your eyes on that which is always lying and calling it “God.”

“Christian rulers” are always in opposition to Christ. – You know that the rulers of the peoples lord it over them, and those who are great exercise authority over them. Yet it shall not be so among you (Matthew 20:25-26).

The Faction of the Pharisees. Yet “Christian” rulers are not the greatest enemy of the gospel, but rather the faction of the Pharisees (Romans 11).

“Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees.” – The doctrine of the Pharisees (Matthew 16:6 & 12). The doctrine of the Pharisees written down after the birth of the Church is called the Talmud. Those who prescribe to the Talmud in one way or another worship Satan as their “God”; they believe that Jesus is the most evil thing ever to exist; and they control our world today.

It is critical that God’s people know how evil the Pharisees are against Christ, but without hatred. Study these articles and especially this one.

The Real Target. The government of that little country did nine - eleven with the active cooperation of Dick Cheney, etc. The purpose was to goad the American military into destroying the lives of nearly 100 million Muslim people around the Middle East.

Donald Trump knows that, and he knows, along with the Europeans, that if he does not obey, then America and Europe are nuclear toast.

The target, however, is not the Muslims, but Christians. It’s the typical Balaam strategy. Because America burned the homes of so many innocent people, it is the justice of God that American homes are now burning as well. The hatred against Christians in America, etc., is beyond understanding.

Respect God. Who are you answering against God? Will the thing formed say to the one having formed it, “Why have you made me like this?” Or does the potter not have authority over the clay, out of the same lump to make one vessel into honor and value and another into dishonorable use? (Romans 9:20-21).

Here’s what I mean to say. Yes, we know that in the ages to come, all will yield their hearts to Christ. Nonetheless, in this present age, give God the dignity and respect of the potter, that He does set these people into their places in order to demonstrate His set opposition.

Trying to “save” them is disrespecting God.

They Are Lying. More than that, trying to save the “big guys” means the destruction of millions of fellow believers in Jesus.

The pagan Danes, in their attempts to conquer the Christian Saxons, soon learned that they could play the “repentance” game. They would weep over their sins, be baptized, and repeat the creed. Then, when the Christians got all excited about “God doing mighty things,” they struck, stealing, killing, and destroying – over and over.

Yet those who hate the destroyers are the same as they. Allow God to set vessels of destruction in all places of power in this world, yet without hatred.

The World Hates Jesus. I pray that the evil and criminality of the American government would be fully exposed to the Christians of America (and all other countries the same).

The world …hates Me, because I testify against it, that its works are evil (John 7:7). – The world hates you… If they hunted Me down, they will hunt you down as well (John 15:19-20).

Yet the showdown will come inside the control of provision. In fact, control over provision is found inside the contest between Pharaoh and God. Consider the distinction between Egypt and the land of Goshen. Does abundance of provision come from God or the Beast?

Tabernacles. Where do we take God’s people?

Let My people go, that they may hold a feast to Me in the wilderness. This was not Passover, for Passover was getting them out. God meant Tabernacles, that is, the kingdom of God in the earth.

We are NOT taking God’s people into the bondage of a religious cult, but into the full outward liberty of Christ and into the abundance of the Promised Land. Christ our only life MEANS that Jesus is free to be and to do whatever my brother or sister is and wants to do.

Into Full Liberty. God does not reveal Himself through the laws of outward control, but through the symmorphy of faith, sharing all things with each one.

To KNOW that Jesus IS sustaining each one by His good speaking every moment is to set each one free of yourself, and to rejoice in their decisions and expressions regardless of whether they are “suitable” to you or not. The only thing people are not free to do is to hurt others directly. Indirect hurt, such as breathing out viruses, is in God’s hands, not ours.

It is only in freedom that the blessings of human productivity create a good life for all.

God’s Intention. What we are praying for is the gathering together unto Christ all over the world, with each gathering together completely free from all others.

A large group of people gathered together wandering around in the wilderness was never God’s intention and is not our pattern. Typically, such a thing is trading a not-so-bad Pharaoh for a much worse one, a religious one. That’s why God required such a man as Moses for that task.

God’s intention was to take His people straight into the Promised Land after a year-and-a-half, during the Feast of Tabernacles. There, they would have dispersed across the land, and Moses would have gladly retired.

Life versus Death. Now, since completing the Symmorphy texts, most of my writing since has been an attempt to understand that vast difference between a world of life and this world of death, and to know how we bring God’s people into such a LIFE.

In the remainder of this lesson, then, I want to look at HOW we persuade the Beast to get its hands off God’s people and how we persuade God’s people to stop living inside a world of death. And, in fact, that is the primary focus of the next two lessons on Moses.

My primary focus in writing the last while has been to set the clear opposition between the gospel of Christ and the gospel of the serpent for this very purpose.

Actions of Persuasion. Here I want to look at some of the outward actions of persuasion that will happen as we “raise our little sticks,” that is, as we call God out from our hearts into our world. I am convinced that there are similarities between what we see in our day and what Moses saw in his day.

When the dragon perceived that he had been thrown down into the earth, he persecuted the woman… And the serpent cast out of his mouth after the woman water as a torrent… And the dragon was angry with the woman and went to make war with the rest of her seed… (Revelation 12).

The purpose of the national security state is to kill the Lord Jesus as He shows Himself through His Church.

Striking the Earth. And I will give to My two witnesses and they will prophesy. – These are possessing authority to the heavens, that no rain should fall in the days of their prophecy. And they have authority over the waters, to turn them into blood, and to strike the earth with every wound or blow as often as they might desire (Revelation 11).

Consider the one who says, “Well, God just loves everybody.” Whenever the Christian rulers welcomed the “conversion” of the pagan Danes, hundreds of little people belonging to Jesus were murdered or sold into slavery as a result.

You do not play the games of psychopaths. You will always lose.

For the Sake of Our Brethren. How this will play out over the next several years, I don’t have a clue. Yet we can do our bit, like Moses and like David. We can raise our little sticks and throw our little stones.

The accuser of our brothers and sisters has been thrown down, the one accusing them before our God day and night. And they have overcome him… (Revelation 12).

These “they” are standing with God as Christ their only life for the sake of all who believe in Jesus all across the earth. We are at war for the sake of our brethren who are living without reason inside a world of death. There will be collateral damage.

Christ All First. [Note: For those who are reading through these notes, I will share a bit more on a number of these points in the Zoom meeting and thus in the final video of this lesson.]
Here is our final and most important point of understanding – and it was the same with Moses.

We do NOT eliminate the old so that the new can come forth, for that is nothing more than the same old same old. The confrontation with the false happens ONLY as the unfolding of the reality of Christ, inside all glorious Salvation now, is seen and known and run into first.

Christ must be all first before anything not-Christ can go.

Reading for Next Time. The next lesson is titled “The Man Who Raised His Stick.” In that lesson we want to look at the how of God through Moses, in the Passover, the crossing of the Red Sea, the fight against the Amalekites, and provision in the desert.

For next time read Exodus 12:1-42, and all of 14, 16 & 17.

“Do not be afraid. Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever. The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.”
