IN THE UNDERWORLD

Where talk ties them to the Lord........

Phil.2:10-11" In order that in the Name of Jesus every knee might bow; of beings in heaven and beings on earth and BEINGS UNDER THE EARTH, and every tongue might openly confess that Jesus Christ is Lord unto the glory of God the Father."
Rev. 6:9 ".....and I saw BENEATH THE ALTER the souls of them who had been slain because of the Word of God and because of the witness which they held....."
Malachi 3:16 "Then they who revered Yahweh CONVERSED ONE WITH ANOTHER and Yahweh hearkened and heard, and THERE WAS WRITTEN A BOOK OF REMEMBERANCE before Him FOR THEM WHO REVERED YAHWEH AND FOR SUCH AS THOUGHT OF HIS NAME".

The passage Paul wrote to the Philippians quoted above mentions "beings" in three different "places"; in heaven, on earth and under the earth. I have called them places but they are actually spiritual conditions or states of being. John also mentions this in Rev. 5:3 when describing how no one was able to open the scroll and unloose it's seals;
"no one in heaven, or on the earth or under the earth".

The condition of being under the earth is the same as "under the alter" in Rev 6:9 above. The Spirit uses many words, terms or phrases to describe one spiritual truth which throws many people off in their study of the bible, which by the way, was written for those "under the earth" and/or "under the alter".

The passage in Malachi above describes the how and why the bible was written and put together- particularly the "New Testament". It says "they who revered Yahweh CONVERSED with one another". They wrote letters; talked to one another with pen and ink, and God caused the letters to be made into a "book of rememberance", which was written and bound together for them who revered God and thought upon His Name-we now call it the Bible.

These people are "under" because they are controlled by what they see, therefore God has given them in His tender mercy, an outward written guide they can follow, and a prop or support, especially in the coming trouble. They must have an outward written guide because they are continually weighed down (under) by circumstances. Even though these are unable to be led by the Spirit within, God still provides for them.
