A watering down project.....
The watering down project will create doubt in some. This is because they-the populace/Assembly-are female in their outlook. They are emotional and "feelings" oriented. To them, uncertainty is a virtue; they think it is humility and to them, anyone who expresses certainty of belief is arrogant. This of course is subtle Jezebelism-the female trying to remake the "arrogant" male in her image. She wants the certainty of maleness to be watered down like she is. She says,"How can you be so sure?!" Of course this is the adversary speaking out of her mouth, essentially saying the age old phrase, "Has God said?"
(When I speak of female here, I don't mean just the "female of the species", but all, whether male or female, who are emotionally led. That is why she is called Jezebel in Rev.2.)
The female challenge of the male is a disguised method of opportunity for the male to become even stronger and more certain in what he believes. It is actually a method of building up and strengthening of the Remnant-those who are destined to experience the first resurrection. The Remnant are the people "who know their God", who "shall be strong and do exploits". Dan11:32
The female, being the embodiment of darkness/earth (explained in previous posts), appears in the world as opposer/opposition, but is at it's core, a strengthening instrument used by the Father to bring many sons into glory. Heb.2:10
As we approach the summing up or culmination of all things, it is necessary for the difference between the tares/wheat and sheep/goats to become more obvious/prominent. As Jesus said of the tares and wheat, "let them grow together until the time of harvest when the wheat is gathered into the barn and the tares are burned in the fire". This is the manifestation of the True believers and the false confessors. True believers know the meaning of suffering by willingly submitting themselves to it in the school of Christ while they live in their physical body. False ones mouth the truth while simultaneously trying to escape it's work in their own life. Hence, the True ones, because of their willing submission in following the Pattern Son in His sufferings and death, experience the first death while alive physically and have the priviledge of also experiencing the first resurrection, thereby being immune to the second death and it's "fire and brimstone". The latter is the realm of Spirit in which the "timid, faithless and unbelieving (along with others-Rev.21:8)" receive correction after departing their flesh, because they avoided all opportunities for correction while they were still in their physical body. The "lake of fire and brimstone" is also called by Jesus, "outside" and "outer darkness where there is wailing and gnashing of teeth".
The false ones claim they are the real believers. It has always been so since Cain. They offer up the works of their own hands which were not initiated by God, but religious "flesh". They emphasize "good works" so that they can get approval from the surrounding heathenistic, blind, pagan culture. "They like to use the synagogue too often". By that I mean they are like their forebears, the pharisees. They over emphasize works and neglect faith and a pure heart, which are the only foundation of good works. Their works point to themselves and not to Christ. By doing so they "toot their own horn"; their works declaring "we are the true christians. Look at all we are doing to heal the world and solve it's problems. We're not tied down to all that doctrine stuff that others are. We are here to make the world a better place".
But all this is the goats saying, "Lord! Lord!' But the Lord says unto these:
Matt.25:41,46 "Depart from Me accursed ones! Into the age abiding fire which has been prepared for the adversary and his messengers.....And these shall go away into age abiding correction......"
No one can escape God's process of all being conformed to the image of His Son, which is what man being made in the image of God means. This entails a process of correction or transformation and earthly physical life is the trial period where this is to be completed. However, thousands spend their earthly life in avoiding correction and the consequences of behavior at all costs. So after they leave the physical body, they are sent to a "realm" where their life spent in lawlessness places them, and there they will be given the correction they avoided while in their physical body. This is what the scripture means when it says "they are judged according to their works" Rev.20:13.
The good works of the True worshippers are done in SECRET. They don't announce their good works in the media, nor do they declare them on their income tax forms, for to do so is to get an earthly reward. They don't do great earth shaking things to get the praise of men. Like the woman in the temple who gave her last coin, they spend their lives in small secret acts of kindness and compassion. They let not their left hand know what their right hand is doing.........
