Part 22: Jezebel vs Sarah - "Shoe Leather" Status

I knew at the outset of this blog series that it would quickly become very personally challenging. I chose to engage even knowing how this would assure some very "awkward moments" and put many relationships at risk. Those of you whom the Lord has brought here to be engaged by this challenging series will find this very relevant. Such a venture can only end one way. Division must be brought forth.

32) Therefore everyone who confesses Me before men, I will also confess him before My Father who is in heaven.
33) But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father who is in heaven.
34) Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.
35) For I came to SET A MAN AGAINST HIS FATHER, AND A DAUGHTER AGAINST HER MOTHER, AND A DAUGHTER-IN-LAW AGAINST HER MOTHER-IN-LAW;
36) and A MAN'S ENEMIES WILL BE THE MEMBERS OF HIS HOUSEHOLD.
37) He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.

Matthew 10:32-37

The only reason anyone with a sane mind and in a healthy emotional state could be willing to put even these very precious relationships at risk is for love's sake. One is required to trust in the nature and character of the One who brings that sword.

He is worthy of our love. Do you believe that? I'd like to think I do, and when I look at what I say and actually do I have an answer that can be recognized when I'm willing. I'm still a hypocrite. Ouch. I'm still holding back. How about you? But, what has been brought forth in my life recently encourages me because I've been pulled out of a rut as one changed and still in the midst of this changing - and I'm very encouraged! The Lord has allowed me such vast mercy to see this day, when passing even this love test is in sight.

If you can't personally relate to what I'm writing, I want to invite and encourage you to join me in this way of love. Lift up your eyes to see past the loss and gaze upon the One who is truly calling out to you with this challenging invitation. I'm going to ask a question I've asked myself. When would you rather learn that you have been given a love test and failed? Sooner, or later? Later, when, like, after it's too late? Sorry, "Never" is not an option.

The passage continues.

38) And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me.
39) He who has found his life will lose it, and he who has lost his life for My sake will find it.

Matthew 10:32-39

Should we picture ourselves there if we can't pass the previous test? No. Not honestly.

With greater light comes greater discernment - and judgment. Unto whom much is given, much is required. Judgment comes upon me particularly as I am a teacher, and too it comes upon each of you as the Lord brings you to it. Now, judgment isn't bad, really, it's just necessary so the holy can be separated from the profane. Refining fire is required to separate the dross from the gold. Things get shaken so they can be sifted and the valuable separated from the common. I knew I needed it and know I still do. The Lord is not done with me yet. I also knew the Lord would use this work to bring it to others. As some of you are testifying, He has been faithful!

There were a number of situations that I perceive as precipitating this series when I consider it on a personal level. Now having reached the anticipated milestone and high water mark in this series, the Lord has prompted me to begin to follow up on some of those situations where relationships are involved, and to engage in similar ways with others, too. There may be more detail forthcoming about this very engaging activity, we shall see. For now, I'm just going to tell you that the walking out of these matters relating to Jezebel vs Sarah "in shoe leather" is what this is about. There is no cheating - there are no short cuts or discounts offered. The Lord is preparing a Bride, and perhaps some among us will be found worthy.

I can tell you that what has already been required of me hasn't been easy, but neither has it been too hard. I've reviewed what's in my home with the ability to inspect things as in the light of a brighter light bulb and made yet another trip to the trash bin. If something is not good enough for me, it's not good enough for anyone else I care about, so there's no passing things off to a friend or neighbor, thrift store or Craigslist shopper. I've reviewed links on my blog and Web site as in a brighter light and identified a few that had to go. No regrets. I've reviewed comments left on the blog and comment settings. Many comments didn't pass inspection, and neither did my comments settings.

I had configured the blog so anonymous comments could be submitted, but really, since a blog is a public forum and this blog in particular is about preaching and teaching, allowing anonymous comments encourages what would become speaking in church if the comment were posted. Sometimes, even distinguishing the gender of those who are not anonymous is difficult. It should go without saying but I'll say it because it's so important: If you have a profile online that relates to interaction on the basis of christian fellowship, you have a responsibility to correctly identify your gender.

If judgment in these actions had been done on the basis of perceived value, no changes would have been made and nothing tossed out or deleted. It's very liberating to come to the place where I can accept that I'm not being asked to make such a judgment. The basis for my action was simple obedience, doing what I know is the right thing to do. The only "perceived value" decision I had to make was regarding the value of obedience.

While what I just shared isn't an all-encompassing view into the issues of my life, those specific actions were recently taken at the Lord's direction. They were required of me to bring me to the next step. If you haven't followed through in such a way with what the Lord has prompted you about, let me encourage you to do so at this time. You can come back and finish reading here when you're done. I'll wait.

It occurs to me how we sometimes wait on the Lord in a matter where He is waiting on us to act. If you've been waiting on Him for something, it may be the Lord is waiting for you to do what He already directed you to do. When you've done it, then you'll get the next step.

To be continued, Lord willing.

Part 16 - See, it's the "i" of Horus! Intel, eyeBM and Micron

This survey of "i" of Horus imagery continues with more examples from big players in the high tech sector. These company's products generally feature integrated circuits. These are known as ICs. Hmmmmmm. Suitable enough! Eye Sees!

The Intel logo features the Eye of Horus in several ways. The dot of the i is part of an orbital trace that signals this as the "i" of Horus. The elliptical trace encircles the company name to form the outline of a large eye. Adding the registered trademark symbol brings the total to three distinct eye of Horus symbols. The ® appears at the same height as the dot in the i, making it a left eye opposite its matching right eye. Since the dot in the i is associated with the big encircling eye, it "sees better" than the little ®, signaling Horus "who rules with two eyes."

The letter "t" is called out by showing only one side of the cross. The other side is there but it's been displaced, appearing as the square that dots the i. The t is in the center of the big eye and is graphically linked to it through the "i." These features identify it as a portal and symbol of genetic transformation. A cross represents the union of the sons of god (vertical) with the daughters of men (horizontal).

The official meaning of Intel's name is Integrated Electronics. Their tagline has long been "Intel Inside" or some close derivative. If we take their identification with the eye of Horus seriously, their name and slogan is recognized as signaling that the mark of the Beast is what they're really about. Their business is microprocessors. An implanted microchip (PositiveID) is based upon this technology, the word "microchip" being an abbreviated form of "microprocessor chip." Microprocessors are one facet of the technology that is becoming the mark of the Beast. If you take the mark, receiving the implant, you'll have what is meant by "Intel Inside." "Integrated Electronics" indeed, on a personal level!

One of the facets of the mark of the Beast facilitated by this microprocessor technology is surveillance, as observing with an all-seeing eye. With GPS tracking capability and the ability to be read remotely without the subject's knowledge or permission (which capabilities are already being leveraged in the marketplace), an "Intel Inside" kind of chip will provide what's referred to by some agencies as intel, betraying the recipient's identity and whereabouts to whomsoever might be authorized to access and monitor data acquired by the connected networks. When I listen to their four note [mp3] mnemonic jingle now, I put some fitting words to it: "Mark of the Beast"!

Now, if you look at a registered trademark or copyright symbol and think, "There's no way that's an eye of Horus," that it's just an innocent little symbol, you should consider whether there really is such a thing as an innocent symbol. Some symbols may be presented in relative ignorance but, even then, that doesn't make them innocent as devoid of meaning and evil influence. Consider how there is no legal requirement to associate a registered trademark symbol with a logo. Visit some big name corporate Web sites; some have it, some don't. Its appearance seems to depend less upon whether it's a registered trademark than whether the eye of Horus enhances or detracts from what the logo is intended to signal.

IBM, eyeBM, I be M and I BM

While this ad and version of IBM branding doesn't have the swirl, I'm including it here because the company has close ties to Intel. Its also fitting because this rather obvious "i" of Horus variation of their more conventional logo leverages the ® to present a second eye. This eye compares to the illuminated (radiant sun rays) globe-eye with eyelashes that dots the big i as the lesser of the pair, signaling Horus "who rules with two eyes." Hello eyeBM!

This ad hints at 9 on the left to balance the opposing stylized "9th letter of the alphabet" i. There are three lines, the first two of which begin with "Three." We subconsciously follow the subliminal lead to infer the third line as another three, completing the nine. The third line prompts us to "Take the interactive tour" that apparently will get us beyond line two's hint at illumination and gnosis ("smarter solutions"). The two lines that suggest the content and purpose of the third appear in the same "Osiris" capstone green as the illuminated globe-eye. Hint. Hint. Check your wallet for a match on that. Hint. Hint.

The usual orientation of the IBM logo is horizontal and its standard is white on black. I puzzled over what the line art construction meant until I recognized them as blinds, Venetian blinds, a window covering. This is how the eye of Horus illumination is pictured, as light coming in through the blinds, actually through an implied window, a portal. There are eight white lines, but 9 in the blinds that frame them, giving the right numerics for occult signaling. The subtle eye of Horus features make the muted registered trademark a complementary eye.

The bars effect also smacks of a bar code, which presents us with myriad connections to such as DNA barcodes, the Hollerith punch card (see below) and similar data logging and tracking technologies that all point to the mark of the Beast network and genetic portal.

If you are familiar with the history of IBM's Thomas Watson Sr. (from the Burned Over District in NY) and the Hollerith punch card you are already aware of his support of Hitler and the Nazi Party. The Nazi data management facilitated by IBM and the Hollerith system should be seen as a precursor to the coming mark of the Beast implementation.

Hitler had the swastika brand, a sun wheel and Apollo or Horus symbol, as you may recall from an earlier series on the Olympic rings logo. Watson, a Freemason, had his comparable branding.

The version you see here represented IBM from 1924 to 1946. It has a swirl, but it's not calling out an i, just an eye. It's supposed to be the globe of the Earth. Can you see SIN exalted over the Earth? A band wraps around the equator, the area through which the sun oscillates to mark off 46 degrees, 23 above and 23 below. This signifies the sun god's rule over his global/international domain. It doesn't take much imagination to "connect the dots," suggesting that "business machines" refers to those of us who dutifully engage in the activities of Mystery Babylon and serve in the pharmakeia of the wand of the god of commerce Hermes, perhaps the chief facilitator of Horus. At the top of the equatorial band is a line that appears to give the graphic depth. This line accentuates the ellipse as a feature and makes the graphic appear as an eye.

The acronym IBM stands for International Business Machines but consider it as a literal declaration of identity: "I be M," or, "I am M." Who or what is M?

The M is leveraged in occult signaling with layers of powerful symbolism. Sometimes the two points on top are used to signify horns as of the devil. Depending on the form, an M might present a central downward pointing delta with adjoining upward deltas to signal the daughters of men with the sons of god. The M is perhaps most notably the 13th letter of the alphabet, and the number thirteen that means "lord" and "rebellion" signals the rebel Beast. Because M is a sideways numeral 3, another key set of elements is imported; the third eye, regeneration or resurrection and the triple helix transformation of the mark of the Beast. By counting all the points on an M, the two on top and three on the bottom present the number 23, signaling through this sex chromosome number the sexual reproduction and genetic transformation aspect of the mark. Also, I believe M is for Man and W is for Woman. "I be M"

Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

Revelation 13:18

The letter "B" presents a 23 because its the 2nd letter of the alphabet and a numeral 3 is implicit, formed on its right. Its also a 13 as a 1 and 3 stuck together. You can now perceive another declaration of identity, "I BM." Both B and M have 13 and 3 and 23 numeric features in common. If we assign the 23 value to the B and the M it reads, "I 23+23" in a self-reference to man's 46 chromosome body, with a beast transformation in its future. IBM says a lot with very little.

There's more to be seen in the evolution of the IBM logo, but not in this post. I'm not even going to mention how the strict uniformity of the appearance of its personnel (dark pin-striped suit, white shirt, quiet tie, wing-tips) made the IBM corporate culture stand out as something of a collective, or how the "think" motto was ever in view (intellectual enlightenment). Uh, oops. I just did. :)


Micron

In Micron's logo, the i is "dotted" with the orbital trace, calling it out as an "i" of Horus. The invisible satellite is orbiting the stylized letter M, tracing the elliptical outline of an eye. The ® forms another eye that, as with the Intel logo, matches to its opposing partner as a lesser eye to signal Horus "who rules with two eyes."

The letter M is styled with a longer leg that gives the graphic an extra dynamic. Surrounded by the swirling eye, the M is pictured passing through the eye portal. You already know about the M. Micron's logo is signaling the third eye portal!

Micron is the parent company of Crucial, whose c-ing "i" logo and branding has recently been addressed at some length. Hey, Crucial is kind of a chip of the old block. :)

What's not funny is how the eye of Horus branding is so dominant. When the time comes for the mark to be offered, those who have continually bought in to the scheme will have no awareness of the real danger, and no ability to resist. If the eyes of your understanding are being enlightened (Ephesians 1:18) you may want to give some of those around you a chance to see themselves as the prey they truly are in this deadly scheme. It matters.

A Pale Horse and Rider is broadcast on MSNBC

What is either a supernatural phenomenon or a high tech hoax recently broadcast by MSNBC has just come to my attention. It seems to relate to Revelation 6 and the pale horse whose rider was Death. The word "pale" is the Greek word chloros, meaning green or yellowish pale.

7) And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
8) And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

Revelation 6:7-8

Here's a pair of videos that have been posted to YouTube.

AMAZING footage - EGYPT RIOTS 4 horse of the Apocalypse?




Phantom Neon Horseman of Egyptian Revolution - Tahrir Square - MSNBC News




[Update:] Here's another video with a longer sequence. The horse and rider appears about 1:15 into the clip. Fourth Horseman ( death ) Egyptian riots. Full Original Video


During the season of Y'shua's death and resurrection and even up to the time of the destruction of Jerusalem by the forces of Titus, such supernatural phenomenon were observed and duly documented by historians of the day, including Josephus. There's nothing new under the Sun. What was, will be.

Whether these videos picture some supernatural being or whether it is some technical contrivance brought forth as a hoax, it really matters little. What is seen will not be unseen by the viewers. There has been a ramping up in the world of the presentation of the supernatural that is usually invisible as made visible. This serves Satan's agenda, but this should be seen on a higher level as serving the Heavenly Father's agenda. The time has come for the manifestation of what has long been hidden, one step at a time.

January 28, 2010 (1/28 - RedIceCreations - * 64 minutes long)



"This episode was filmed in Bath and Bristol, England featuring special guests such as Michael Tsarion, Neil Hague, Ralph Ellis, Leo Rutherford, Neil Kramer, Dan Tatman and Peter Taylor. We also interview a priest, university students, teachers and of course a couple random pub interviews. We begin the show discussing the symbolism of two major corporations, Starbucks and Apple. What is really being said in logos?"

Here's another item of note that relates to a recent post.
iPhone Users Are About to Be Screwed Over By John C. Dvorak (1/26 - PC World)

Mr. Dvorak is highly experienced and respected in his field.

Here's his subtitle blurb: "The addition of the NFC chip to the iPhone isn't for easy credit card purchases, but so the phone companies can control your financial transactions. Be warned."

Here's how he closes his article: "Do not let AT&T or Verizon or any phone company anywhere near your day-to-day financial transaction business!
You've been warned."

If you've read the recent post featuring ISIS (Part 11-Eye of Horus) you can see he's get every reason to be very wary of their motive. I admire him for sticking his neck out and commend PC World for giving him the platform for such a warning.

The items of note in this post attest to the fact that others who aren't professing saints are expressing some important things, in sync with what the spirit of God is bringing forth here. There is harmony in view to a degree should help establish credibility in the minds of those who waver, with the kind of validation lent by independent witnesses. The Lord works with many people, who profess many diverse beliefs. While I don't consider any of those on the video embedded here to have the scope of understanding granted by the spirit of God, I don't claim to be "Mr. Know-it-all" either. Eat the fish and spit out the bones. Seek the spirit of the Lord Y'shua for insight into what is you should take away from all this.

Part 15 - See, it's the "i" of Horus! Fallen Star Satellites

Continuing the survey of "Eye of Horus" imagery, some versions call out the letter "i" as a signal device by means of an arc or orbital trace, usually elliptical. The orbiting dynamic links to celestial objects, celestial beings and angels through the star metaphor.

The ClearChoice logo is signaling the "i" of Horus with a star dotting the i. The trailing arc presents the familiar shooting star, or falling star symbol of a fallen angel. The illumination inherent in the Eye of Horus is presented graphically by way of a real heavenly star being a source of literal light, and additionally through the meaning of "clear choice" as a reference to the ability to visually or critically discern.

Recall how the Registered Trademark symbol is another Eye of Horus. If we consider this mark as the left eye and compare it to the big star right eye, this is a Horus "who rules with two eyes" signal.

It should be noted that the "clear choice" in the context of this occult imagery doesn't really involve dental implants but something more "optical" in nature. It has to do with making a choice about another kind of implant with a promise of clarity of perception through illumination!

The Emagine Theaters logo presents the "i" of Horus as a magic wand, their slogan being, "The magic of movies and more." The starry trail forms the popular arc used to feature the i as a signal. Magic wands are commonly pictured with one or more stars on their tip and as leaving trails of stars when their magic is produced. (image search: magic wand) The star imagery is found to be fitting when you understand star images as fallen angels and identify the magick as a manifestation of their demonic power. The stars of the magic wand also link to astrology because magicians (sects of Magi) have ever had an involvement with the starry heavens and esotericism.

The Emagine logo also has a pair of stylized version of the "E" that call the figure out as a trident, signaling the triple helix DNA transformation aspect.

The CBS SportsLine brand adds to the famous CBS all-seeing eye with another on the right. The dot that isn't seen over the i is found at the end of a connecting arc. This calls it out as an "i" of Horus. You can consider this arc of the i as tracing the outline of an eye that balances the sunlight yellow version on the left. Considering both eyes, the left has no pupil so it's the hidden or dark eye that signals Horus "who rules with two eyes."

The Dish Network logo is a clever composite of Eye of Horus imagery and the graphic presentation of their business activity.

The Dish Network is a TV and Internet provider that serves their clients via satellite transmission and satellite dish receivers. The satellite is pictured as the dot of the i. The base of the i is formed by waves radiating down towards the earth. The satellite is pictured as orbiting by way of a connected orbital path trace.


The stylized i calls it out as an "i" of Horus. This is also a pyramid with detached capstone. The arc connected to the dot touches the lower-case "h" in such a way that an upper-case "H" is formed. This presents the "i" of "H"orus in a way very similar to how the Crucial logo presents the "c"-ing "i." The waves representing the satellite transmission signal are a graphic element I've noticed in other Eye of Horus symbols. Sometimes the radiance of light is pictured by rays extending outward like spokes on a wheel but sometimes the radiation is presented in the form of concentric waves. The Eye of Horus signal is amplified here by the graphic's lighting effect, which illustrates illumination by making the stark black and white wash out into subtle grays in the eye area.

I featured Crucial's branding in Part 7 of this series, but since publishing that post I've discovered the ad you see here - one that practically demands another visit. The focus in what I already covered was the promise of illumination and gnosis, but this ad promises life itself! "New life for old computers." I've been computing a long time, how about you? Their ad features a DNA structure formed by their memory chips. Hmmmm. DNA formed by their chips. You get that, right? The kind of formation or genetic transformation in view is signaled by the 3 twists of the ladder structure that each contains three chips. This ad is yet another testimony about 9, the three times three, the mark of the Beast transformation. This ad is another witness to the new life coming via chips and triple-helix DNA transformation! You can read the most recent and elaborate explanation I've offered on this subject in Part 11 - scroll down to the section titled "The Mark."

The Infineon logo calls out the "i" of Horus with the dot pictured as orbiting around the company name. There are two "i"s in the name, and the left one (on our right as we look it in the face) is much smaller than the other. This signals the now familiar Horus "who rules with two eyes."

The red ellipse forms the outside of an eye, a larger eye of Horus, and the opening suggests the form of a letter "c" that presents it as a c-ing eye. You may recall how such forms may also picture an open womb (as Isis birthing Horus) or an egg at conception. This version speaks to me of a heavenly blue male sperm penetrating an earthly red ovum, the sexual reproductive feature of the Eye of Horus. This signals the conception of Horus as the Beast and the genetic transformation inherent in the mark of the Beast.

How is the customary illumination being illustrated in the Infineon logo? I don't perceive it in the graphic beyond the use of a lighter blue than is often found, but I definitely perceive it in the company name as infiNEON! Neon is a gas commonly used to brightly light colorful signs. Infi(nite) NEON = eternal light! That's the promise of the activated Eye of Horus! I noted with interest that one of this company's product lines is "Lighting ICs & LED Drivers."

The Eye of Horus isn't everywhere present like the all-seeing eye it is professed by some to be. It's far from the true vision of the sovereign God. The more familiar I become with its forms, though, the more plain it is that it is embedded in my everyday life to an extent far beyond what I suspected when I began this series of exhibits. This arc form is no form of ark or means of genuine salvation. Following that ark is kind of like a dog chasing his tail, around and around. The promise of the Eye of Horus is false. The Antichrist Beast is no savior of man - indeed - quite the opposite!

More to come, Lord willing.

Peace Amidst the Storms

With current events in view, many more folks all over the world are getting serious about how to get ready for the trouble they see coming. You'll notice I haven't been shouting about food storage, investing in gold or living remote and off the grid. What I've been shouting is how to get yourself ready in the Lord because He's where safety is, if we need safety. He's where everything is when we need it.

What I'm not saying is "do nothing but just trust Jesus and everything will be ok." What I am saying in contrast is that when some thing must be done in preparation, you'll only know it as you recognize His voice and do it. Otherwise, what's done is just carnal activity in the interest of self preservation or preservation of what is perceived as your stuff. The burden to know whats and whens is upon each of us.

I'm not a community organizer, except as I call people to humble themselves and seek the Lord for what needs to be done. I have no compound, no bunker or shelter prepared, and have no association with such. I have no flight plan, no plan to flee anywhere when trouble visits my locality. This is fitting for me, and maybe for you. Or, perhaps your thing is different and you're making some kind of special provision for the future. The right thing to do is what's right for you now as directed by the Lord Himself. If you can't have confidence in that, you've missed the undercurrent of my blogging. See and hear through His eyes and ears, knowing what He opens to you. What I'm speaking of now in a generality I address in the particulars from post to post.

What I do know about the times and seasons I'll share with you as the Lord directs. I've written about how America won't be greatly diminished until after two kings have been defeated. Iraq's already was, and next up is Iran's. Perhaps what's going on with Egypt and Jordan is as sparks that light that fire, I don't know, only that I feel like it's been due for a while now. What I see coming up in 2015 will require America being bounced, having gone down then having arisen in another form. How much time is required for such a bounce I do not know. I have some answers, but many more questions.

Whether I will be around tomorrow or the next day, or whether blog posts will continue to show up in your in-box, I don't know. I feel an urgency to do what I'm here to do, today, as I am enabled. I hope you understand that the kind of things the Lord is bringing forth here isn't for entertainment's sake, or because I like to hear the sound of my voice. Take what's here for you and get it good. Tomorrow, some of you will need it and what it gets you. The Lord's purposes are being accomplished in the earth. You are involved. Praise the Lord!

Part 14 - See, it's the "i" of Horus! io9 - We come from the future

The Eye of Horus signaled by the letter "i" is powerful because it has the homonym value of "i" and eye, it's the 9th letter of the alphabet (9 signals the triple-helix genetic transformation of the mark of the beast), it mimics the form of the pyramid with a detached capstone, and it appeals to the carnal nature as a reference to self.

The io9 branding has lots of this Eye of Horus imagery at work. The creepy head is signaling Horus "who rules with two eyes," because the left eye is obscured. The i has the dot offset, which provides visual balance with the 9 because the dot matches to the leg of the 9. The i is the 9th letter, and they are calling out the equivalence with symmetrical matching. The symmetry is rotational, as around the "o" that is itself an eye.

The creepy looking head has a bindi dot that signals the activated third eye, the eye of Horus, a reference to the pineal gland. With half her hair shaved, the patch on the scalp suggests that the activation has come through cybernetic modification, an implant. The antenna or electrical nodes suggest mind control.

The slogan "We come from the future" references travel through the time portal via that activated pineal gland. This also references gnosis by suggesting that this eZine's content comes from the future. The translucent style of the graphic features the lighting, alluding to the illumination that accompanies the activation of the Eye of Horus.

I don't buy the "we come from the future" bit, but I would say their logo designer had help from those who come from another dimension. The io9 Team does present some very interesting and forward looking reports on the site.

What happens when advertisers try to control your mind (1/27 - io9)

Excerpt:

We don't need to control your mind to control you

In a way, the new Facebook "sponsored story" ads are aimed at turning your Facebook updates into viral advertisements against your will. We asked viral media expert Douglas Rushkoff what he thought of the new Facebook model, and he told us by e-mail:

The thing that's spooky here is not just that advertisers can get leverage by using the comments of "real people." It's that our behavior as consumers is itself being retrained. We are to feel like we are living in the ads. Whether or not any of our comments is actually chosen, it could be. It's like a panopticon, where the surveillance is all that is required to change our behavior. Those of us who remain on Facebook are now ever closer to identifying completely as consumers, trying to please the corporations.

The truly scary part is that you can't opt out of Facebook's sponsored story model. So you're about to start advertising products to your friends, whether you like it or not.

The io9 staff do seem to be pretty aware, making some good observations, and not all their reporters and editors appear to have taken the third eye activation route. I found the following video embedded there, which is worth watching. [video] Facebook Sponsored Stories

If you understand about the influence of symbolic logos and what it means to weave them into people's lives in such a way you may see this development as yet one more effort to herd the sheeple of the world toward the mark of the Beast. When it's offered, no hesitation or even thought will be given to the choice by most. That's the plan. If you're on FaceBook, it may be that the time to bail has arrived.

Part 21: Jezebel vs Sarah - Love is Genuine

In the previous post in this series, insight was presented into why it is dishonorable for a woman to speak in church. For those who are able to receive it, arguments to the contrary fall away, holding no sway over us. Our striving ceases when the Lord touches our hearts and grants us insight into his greater purposes, His kindness and generosity. It has been my prayer and purpose to labor such ...

17) That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
18) The eyes of your understanding being enlightened;

Ephesians 1:17-18a

Something of a high water mark has now been reached in this series. As the Lord grants favor, there may be more to be brought forth, but the essentials have been laid out and we have come to a season of accounting. What are you and I doing with what has been presented? If this work is merely of me, or Paul, dismiss it, but if you have perceived the Lord's voice and been convicted of a thing, pay it heed. I've been very forthright about judgment having come upon the church. Today is not like yesterday, make no mistake.

In this post, dear brother or sister, is a most sincere appeal for you to yield to the direction being given. The holy spirit has been bearing witness through this series of posts by mercy and much grace that a necessary work is at hand, a deliverance from the grip of Jezebel and her control for those who will be free.

The spirit of holiness is testifying that some of you are very close to breakthrough but are holding back, holding on to what you hold to be of value but is for you but a snare. Let it go. This is a love test, and you are failing. What you cling to has not been your salvation and will never be your salvation. It has been your idol and it is your choice, now seeing it, to let it go. You have been brought this close. How sad to come this far and no further. The Lord is whispering, "trust me."

There have been times in my life where someone has addressed me by the spirit of God and the resulting impact was akin to whacking me upside the head with a ball bat, or tossing me into an icy river. Where I had been asleep in the darkness I came to be dramatically awakened, instantly delivered from dark and oppressive spirits. I thank God for those times and the folks who loved me. I can't be where you are, personally, but let me tell you, who are hearing and are not doing, that this is your wake-up call. WAKE UP!

What next step there may be for you depends upon this step you now take. For some, perhaps you, there is no other path. WAKE UP! Act upon what you have received.

You may be thinking perhaps the Lord might snatch you away and what He has laid before you will therefore vanish without consequence. WAKE UP! If you were judged in this moment or the next, having neglected to heed the Lord's command, would you find undue favor?

If you have come to an awareness of how such as corporate logos and even the "Christian" cross and "Jewish" star are graven images and that a curse with blindness has come upon us according to disobedience, can you look me in the eye and tell me you can permit a woman to speak in church and not suffer some similar consequence?

Do you think obedience was required of the son of God but is not also required of you? Obedience was required for Paul, Peter and the other apostles, and so I ask right now if it's merely optional for you and I? You may say to me that obedience is required but you will turn away and deny it with your deeds. Will the Lord honor us when we dishonor Him? It is time for you and I to grow up. The time to allow what deceives us is past. What things that have been brought forth in this series such as the braiding of hair, head covering, a woman teaching a man or speaking in church, are such as these too much to be asked of you and I? I pray it is not so. Help us Lord.

Whether it is selfish ambition or some human relationship, help us, Lord, to let it go now, because you are worthy of our love.

As this challenging series of posts continues, I ask as I frequently have for your patience as this work is brought forth here and in your life. Yet, do not confuse patience in the Lord with procrastination, putting off for tomorrow what should and must be done today.

“HOUSE OF ANUBIS” - Yet ANOTHER Nickelodeon Illuminati-themed program hits America…

Part 13 - See, it's the "i" of Horus! Twenty-One Laps and the London 2012 Olympics logo

Continuing the survey of "Eye of Horus" imagery, more examples featuring the themes of illumination, DNA transformation and the mark of the Beast are presented, including one with some surprising date signaling!

The animated logo of twenty-one laps entertainment presents Eye of Horus imagery like Pixar's logo animation but does so very differently. Watch this a few times: [video] 21 Laps Entertainment Logo. (This video appears embedded on the blog and in some other contexts. If you don't see it, you can either click on the link above or click on the post title to view on the blog.)

This logo has a retro look, hearkening back to Star Trek, Star Wars and even the 1982 sci-fi classic Tron with its light cycle racing. ([video] Tron Lightbike Scene) That Disney movie is enjoying popularity at the present time with a 3D remake currently in theaters. Tron has a theme that compares to George Orwell's "1984," with a "Master Control Program" instead of Big Brother. It points forward in time to the Beast kingdom, but that's not the focus of this post.

The twenty-one laps logo is a sideways "21" followed by an "L." To see the stylized 21 we have to rotate the logo clockwise.
Since we're already required to rotate it to present the 21, if we keep following their subliminal leading we disclose an "i" dotted with a figure that completes the stylized "R" - an Eye of Horus! The Eye is illuminated, appropriately back lit with a bright sunny light!

During the 21 Laps logo animation, lines traced by lights form the main elements. The central element that becomes the numeral "2" is completed by fusing its two parts together. At the fusing of the parts a brightly illuminating eye with a pupil appears, another illumined Eye of Horus!

Each element is formed with six strands, presenting us with three sixes, 666. Some secondary design elements appear that are perhaps simulated lens or diffraction artifacts, three hexagrams. This trio of six sided figures presents another 666.

Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

Revelation 13:18

The logo has three primary elements, the 2 and the 1 and the L. Given the embedded Eye of Horus and Mark of the Beast symbolism, we should recognize this as the signaling of the related regeneration and triple-helix DNA, the windings of which were suggested early in the animation by the twisting lines.

Returning our attention to the logo's stylized 21, the rotation that presents the Eye of Horus as resembling the letter "R" may also be recognized as a numeral 12. This insight exposing the 21 and the 12 suggests a date many are very accustomed to seeing these days! The date represented as 12/21/12 is purported to be the ominous end point of the Mayan long count calendar, the resolution of many esoteric crop circles and the result of other notable observations. The graphic you see on the right has the 21 flanked by a pair of counter-rotations to present the date.

While that date signaling is notable, there's another in view that is, to me, the far more interesting! I'll get to that shortly.

Dark Olympic Glory

The odds this unscrambles so readily by mere chance is probably equivalent to the odds of the London 2012, Vancouver 2010 and Beijing 2008 Olympic logos unscrambling to render the word ZION by chance. Right. Slim indeed.

While we're on the subject of the infamous logo representing the 2012 Olympics in London, I want to point out something I never noticed until just now (Thank you Lord!). Depending on how you look at it, there's either one or two overlapping versions of the Eye of Horus embedded within! One version features the dot used to dot the "i" in Zion as the pupil of an eye that is ringed around by the other elements. Yes, it's another kind of "i" of Horus. The yellow "glow" of this color scheme presents the typical illumination of the symbol. The other version of the Eye of Horus is an "R" when you consider the legs below. You can either look at this as an R that ignores the upper half of the logo, the 20 part, or that includes it to form the ring around the pupil of the eye.

Now, this is really amazing! The Eye of Horus theme is a perfect fit with the "Bart and Lisa Simpson as Adam and Eve" theme! The oral sex act recognized so popularly references the activity in the Garden of Eden, appearing in the logo as Satan's boast of that great conquest. Merging the Eye of Horus imagery with that reference to the activity in the Garden of Eden is brilliant evil. The following passage will speak to those of you who understand what I've been teaching (See here for more detail: Who is Cain's Father? Part Three) about the range of sex acts in the Garden and the promise of illumination and gnosis that is implicit in the Eye of Horus.

4) And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
5) For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
6) And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
7) And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.

Genesis 3:4-7

The logo is a very clever piece of work, which must be attributed to the demonic familiar spirits who directed the designers! The vast sum of money spent on this unpopular logo appears to me to be a better bargain for the Olympic committee every time another layer of occult signaling is brought to my attention!

Since those Olympic folks are all about the Greek history of the gods, you can go ahead and call their illumined eye imagery the Eye of Apollo if you like. It works all the same. We know who they mean. The Antichrist Beast won't much care what you've called him.

I just discovered another blogger had ID'd the 2012 Olympic mascots as Eye of Horus all seeing eyes. Check out his Another Voice blog post.

Pythagoras Signaling

Now, the 21 is not the whole of the logo, there's a featured "L" for "Laps." The L kind of forms an eyebrow of the Eye of Horus but it also has a signification in its own right that works the same no matter how its aligned. An L is an implied right triangle, assuming a closing leg or hypotenuse. Such an object with integer side lengths is also known as a Pythagorean triangle. Anyone who studies the symbols of Freemasonry and their origins for very long discovers how important the ancient Greek philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras is to them. His work with geometry is essential to building construction and architectural design, the core activities of the guild of Masons.

The number three is inherent in the triangle as the number of sides, inner angles and outer angles, Three is the number of regeneration and DNA transformation. "Three Times Three" elements produces 9, the single digit number of the triple helix DNA transformation, and is also the name of a Freemasonic ritual that points to that same transformation.

Another feature that makes the right triangle a popular signal is how it presents the union of the sons of god with the daughters of men in a way similar to the cross, where a vertical represents the male heavenly sons of god and a horizontal represents the female earthly daughters of men. Such a figure is a simple and more obscure equivalent to the ubiquitous square and compass of Freemasonry. In any and every alignment of this figure, the sides adjacent to the right angle are the parents that produce the hypotenuse as their offspring. They are as the Egyptian trinity Osiris, Isis and Horus, and the focus is ever upon the reproductive element that will produce the Beast and the mark of the Beast.

In this picture of a common pin worn by Freemasons, the square and compass is placed within the square that adjoins the right triangle's hypotenuse, amplifying the force of the symbol's power through redundancy. The check mark-like element in the Verizon (veri = truth) Wireless branding is such a Pythagoras signaling. So also is the nose in the LG logo, which is a pretty obvious "Horus that rules with two eyes" symbol.

I'm about to move on to the really good stuff, but first, here's a collection of images to consider that includes two from this post, a variety of Eye of Horus symbols with "i" and "R" connections.

21 Laps? Around what?

So, why would this company with the Eye of Horus branding be named 21 Laps? First, the number 21 itself references time and the fulness of time. (See What does the number Twenty-One mean?) This reference to the fullness of time is germane. I believe this name signals timing that specifically compares to the cryptic "three things and then four" signals I've observed. I already pointed out how the 21 rotates to present a 12 and made reference to the familiar 12/21/12 date. Now, if you consider how the earth laps or circuits the sun once a year, 21 laps means 21 years. The logo animation scene is the starry heavens, right? The featured fusion event creates a bright sun in the center, right? So, this 21 years appears to be equivalent to the "three things" or sets of seven years, shemittah, counted off from the celestial sign of 1991.

Consider also the homonym of "laps," "lapse," which can literally be derived from the logo if you shift the space between "laps" and "entertainment" one spot to the right. The meaning of "21 lapse" fits the context of the count from 1991 and supports the "laps of the earth around the sun" interpretation I proposed, placing emphasis upon the passing of this particular season. When it passes the shemittah spanning 2012 to 2019 begins, which I'm more and more convinced is going to find many things fulfilled, including what the eye of Horus imagery portends, the Beast and his rule. Recall how the angel's coming to Daniel was delayed by the Prince of Persia for 21 days, according to Daniel 10:13. A span of time identified by 21 had to lapse.

As I give thought and prayerful consideration to the following definitions of the word "lapse" it seems a very apt description of this period leading up to the season of the Beast.

lapse - verb
1. a. To fall from a previous level or standard, as of accomplishment, quality, or conduct: lapse into bad habits; a team that lapsed into mediocrity halfway through the season.
1. b. To deviate from a prescribed or accepted way: lapse into heresy.
1. c. To pass gradually or smoothly; slip: lapse into reverie.
2. a. To come to an end, especially gradually or temporarily: He realized that his attention had lapsed and he hadn't heard the assignment.
2. b. To be no longer valid or active; expire: She allowed her membership to lapse after the first year.
4. To go by; elapse: Years had lapsed since we last met.

lapse - noun
1. The act or an instance of lapsing, as:

a. A usually minor or temporary failure; a slip: a lapse of memory; a lapse in judgment.
b. A deterioration or decline: a lapse into barbarism.
c. A moral fall: a lapse from grace.

2. A break in continuity; a pause: a lapse in the conversation.
3. A period of time; an interval: a lapse of several years between the two revolutions.
4. Law The termination of a right or privilege through disuse, neglect, or death.

While there is a necessary focus on the Beast with regard to this "fourth thing" it is, of course, what must come before the Lord of Lords comes to rule, when the stone cut out without hands smites the metallic statue in Daniel 2's vision of the destiny of this Beast kingdom.

From one perspective, the entertainment value of these 21 laps is waning fast, is it not? Yet, what we have before is a great opportunity for those who prepare in the Lord, who will not be deceived into placing trust in the illumination and gnosis promised by the Eye of Horus.

14) Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
15) See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
16) Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
17) Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.

Ephesians 5:14-17

Part 20: Jezebel vs Sarah - The Image and Glory of God and Honor in the Church

Continuing from the last post, we may well ask why it is dishonorable for a woman to speak in church? What's wrong with that, or what's right with her silence? The reason given explicitly in 1 Corinthians 14:34 is a reminder that this is simply the testimony of the law, an abiding principle. That does little to satisfy our curiosity as the Lord prompts some of us to inquire further.

I consider that Paul didn't need to repeat what had already been revealed a mere three chapters earlier. A similar situation was addressed, where a man and woman are engaging in prayer or prophecy. There is in this particular circumstance a distinction between the genders. A man was commanded not to cover his head and a woman was commanded to cover her head. The reason given involves a deep spiritual reality, that the man is the image and glory of God and that the woman is the glory of the man. You're familiar, yes? If we come to read the 14th chapter having forgotten or never having understood the truth revealed in the 11th chapter we have in this related context no basis for insight into the deep spiritual reality behind the distinction made between the genders.

When the saints assemble together the men are still the image and glory of God, as revealed in 1 Corinthians 11:7, and the women are still the glory of the man.

For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.

1 Corinthians 11:7

When there is prayer and prophesying in the assembly the heads of the men are uncovered, exhibiting in visual "glory language," the image and glory of God. In church the men speak, expressing words in languages of men (and potentially of angels) in the audible voices of those who are the image and glory of God. What is seen and heard is the image and glory of God! When a woman is present, with respect to prayer and prophesying her head is covered, hiding or concealing the glory of both the woman and the man from view, lest flesh should glory in His presence. She does not speak in church but holds her peace, because the woman is the glory of man and its dishonorable for the glory of man to be heard in church.

27) But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
28) And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:
29) That no flesh should glory in his presence.
30) But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
31) That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

1 Corinthians 1:27-31

When a woman is not praying or prophesying, is it proper for her to have her head uncovered? Sure. Can she speak? Is she "in church" where a male is present and the saints are engaging as a biblical assembly? In that case, no, otherwise, sure. Can she teach a man or usurp authority over him? Never.

If one is clever and seems to have discovered an exception to a rule, can one justify challenging and overturning that rule to establish a contrary standard? Sure, but not honestly. This is the simple response I will offer for all the "what about" questions that arise. More may be forthcoming, I cannot say.

The biblical narrative offers many examples of women who are honored for a variety of things. There have been and are now women of faith and ability who are worthy of honor. I have focused in this series upon the contrast between two women whose names are models of behavior, Jezebel and Sarah. One is a deadly rebel, who deceives and exalts herself to rule over the weak. The other is as her Lord, willing to subject herself, trusting that He recognizes her acknowledged weakness and will be faithful to remember her at the appointed time according to promise.

16) And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
17) Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
18) I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
19) Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.
20) At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
21) He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

John 14:16-21

11) For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
12) Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
13) Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
14) Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
15) These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
Titus 2:11-15

In closing, once again I ask you to please be patient with this work as it unfolds here and in your life.

Shabbat Shalom

Part 19: Jezebel vs Sarah - When a Woman Speaks in Church

A couple posts back, I wrote that what has been brought forth about obedience regarding such as adornment, marital subjection and head covering is not yet what will shake some of us from deep slumber. As this challenging series of posts continues, I ask once again for your patience as this work is brought forth here and in your life. Even having now addressed the matter of a woman teaching a man, there remains more to be brought forth concerning what things daughters of Sarah know and practice, and what pertains to the Bride of HaMashiach as preparation for her Bridegroom.

After the last post you may be convinced that I've lost my mind. I'm not disconnected from reality but I'm just not interested in persisting status quo or playing religious games. I have no affiliations with institutions or associations with constraining agencies. I've been brought to such a place where I have few if any conflicts of interest or competing agendas. I'm not trying to defend anything or anyone or become popular. I'm not here to act friendly: I'm here to be a friend. My "angle" is that I'm conscious of how you and I will share in each other's reward. Hey, help me out, won't you? :)

We need each other in this hour, to pray and intercede as the Lord directs, to encourage, uplift and support as we seek to discover and abide in the narrow way. It's difficult to remain fast in the light when all we want to do is flee into the darkness. I want to encourage you to abide with me in this. Please pray for those whom the Lord draws to this blog, that they will receive what the Lord has for them and return unto Him what is His due.

I can't share with you the touching personal testimonies shared with me, but I want you to be assured that the Lord is faithful, who promises. He upholds His word and strengthens His people. Those who are hearing His voice and dare to respond with courage and faith are being rewarded even now with tokens of His love, which are testifying of what great things are yet to come!

There is a passage in I Corinthians 14 that must now be considered.

34) Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law.
35) And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.

I Corinthians 14:34-35

Instead of following these directives with specific scriptural reasons why, like in 1 Timothy 2 and 1 Corinthians 11, the basis is assumed to be so well established that, "as also saith the law" provides adequate support. These directives are immediately followed by an assertion of authority by the Apostle that Paul was, ordained and anointed to bring forth the commandments of the Lord.

36) What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only?
37) If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.
38) But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.

I Corinthians 14:36-38

It is as though the spirit of the Lord is testifying to those who challenge the truth and authority of what was declared in a forceful and rather blunt way: "Because I said so - that's why. Deal with it." Paul by the holy spirit had to know folks would squawk about this, striving against the hardness of its appearance as it confronts the carnal mind.

When the Word of the Lord is given, some will perceive it. "My sheep hear My voice," the Good Shepherd has testified according to the tenth chapter of John. There are, on the other hand, those who do not hear His voice, and they will not follow Him. I won't make a fuss about those who won't hear what is written about women speaking in the assembly. "But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant."

If you want to stay the mess you are in the mess you're in, do as you have done. If you want to be free - change! There is in this post a message of great value. I love you. I'm telling you the truth.

What circumstances are addressed in 1 Corinthians 14 are similar to but different from what's addressed in 1 Timothy 2. We must be discerning and considerate of the details in this matter so there's no confusion. When one has no concern for obedience, all these things can be broadly dismissed and the details are of no concern. When one has in mind to honor the Lord with obedience to His commands, the details matter! Let's get it right! He is worthy of our every effort!

Some of us can accept what has been declared without a struggle and there's not too much more that needs to be said. Most require more explanation, which will do nothing to alter the simplicity of the truth presented but offers more insight that engages us and helps us define what obedience looks like in our world as we endeavor to walk it out in shoe leather.

Where the passage in Timothy prohibits a woman from teaching a man, we find that the passage in Corinthians extends further to include all speaking without regard for content or purpose. The passage in Timothy doesn't specify whether what is done is in an assembly or in private, so there is no limit placed on the context. In Corinthians, however, the context in which it is a shame for women to speak is specifically that of a mixed gender assembly.

The prohibition in 1 Corinthians 14 relates to women speaking in the church. What is meant by 1. speak 2. women 3. the church?

What does it mean to "speak"?

In contrast to "silence" meaning "quietness of manner" in 1 Timothy 2, when you read keep silence in Corinthians it means just that, silence; i.e. hold your peace. Follow the links on the words "keep silence" and "speak" to the Blue Letter Bible's Greek resources.

34) Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law.
35) And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.

I Corinthians 14:34-35

That "silence" really does mean "silence" is confirmed by the use of the Greek word "laleo" for speak in verses 34 and 35. Strong's Outline of Biblical Usage reveals how the prohibition is such that a woman's voice is not even to be heard.

"laleo"
1) to utter a voice or emit a sound
2) to speak

a) to use the tongue or the faculty of speech
b) to utter articulate sounds

3) to talk
4) to utter, tell
5) to use words in order to declare one's mind and disclose one's thoughts

a) to speak

Can women teach in the church? No. Can women prophesy in the church or read from the scriptures? No. Can a woman give her testimony? How about announcements? Can they sing in the choir? No, no and no. Ahah! Can they sign for the deaf? Hey, come on. There's no prohibition against a woman being present in the church or serving in some capacity, however, if words come out of her mouth she is not keeping silence and it's a shame. Really, a shame? Yes, a shame, base or dishonorable.

Some challenge the comprehensive prohibition against women speaking in church with claims that it only pertains to the asking of questions, because verse 35 reads, "if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home." If one places the entire focus of attention upon that to the exclusion of all else, one could make their point, but not honestly. Such is the common manner of taking of what's provided for further insight and wrestling it to obscure and contradict the simple truth. That kind of "reasoning" is the rebellious striving of the carnal mind against the spirit for the justification of sin, the seeking for a personal exemption, loophole, excuse or escape route.

What is meant by "women"?

Some insist this only applies to married women because of how verse 35 reads, "if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home," and logically, only married women have husbands. The Greek words used in the biblical text cannot be used to support the "married women only" argument. The Greek word used for "husband" is "aner," which is translated "husband" 50 times but as "man" 156 times in the KJV. What determines whether an "aner" is married comes from the context. Such is also the case with the Greek word used for women, "gyne" (as with "gynecology," literally "the study of women"), which is translated "wife" 92 times and "women" 129 times in the KJV. The words aner and gyne generally reference the genders as male and female without explicit reference to age or marital status. Neither can the context be used to support the supposition that "women" means "married women." To suggest that Paul addressed the situation of married women and completely neglected addressing females of unmarried status is to express ignorance about the context of the presentation, of Paul's manner and the "real world" he lived in and ministered within. Who are the women that are to keep silent in the church? Females.

When we read in verse 34, "but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law," it should be plain enough that the direction here is not a "New Testament" invention or some departure from the long-standing tradition of a culture rooted and grounded in "the law." Even the converted saints of the pagan culture of Corinth in that day must have had a sufficient model before them.

Many women today are unable to ask their men at home because there are no men at home. Yet, you may perceive how this is not supposed to be the case. The law as given and practiced provided for women to have a man at home, whether married or unmarried. A woman was first subject to her father. If and when she married, she became subject to her husband. Consider Numbers 30 and Ruth 1, and study up on the godly culture of old, if you're interested. If the father was dead, the woman was subject to the patriarch of the house. Women didn't just have roommates, living with their boyfriends or girlfriends, and, except in rare circumstances did not live alone. What was recorded in 1 Corinthians 14:35 was and is valid. Are you a woman with no man at home? You have a problem that I recommend very seriously seeking the Lord about as to His provision for you. "Independence" is not the blessing you may been led to think it is.

When a woman wants to learn and can't speak in the church and there's no man at home, well, she has a problem. What is a woman of faith to do? The answer seems pretty simple. If you're some father's unmarried daughter, unless he won't have you, your place should be obvious. A lot of things could be and must be taken into consideration in such matters as this. If you're willing and truly seek to honor Him, dear sister, the Lord will direct you and grant favor as you trust Him. With regard to changing your marital status, what's written in 1 Corinthians 7 must be considered, and you may consider dwelling with brothers, sons, uncles or cousins as appropriate.

You may have noticed how there is nothing here in these posts resembling counsel for the faithless. This is not Staples and there is no Easy Button. Yet, we do have a Helper who is abundant with mercy and grace! The Lord calls out, "Trust me."

What is meant by "in the churches" or "in the church"?

The context of 1 Corinthians 14 presents us with the church as an assembly where men and women have gathered to engage in teaching, prayer and fellowship. There may also be speaking with tongues, prophecy, the singing of praise, worship, perhaps a baptism, etc. It's a gathering where saints are doing what saints are inspired to do when they meet.

Early in the history of the church "assembling" usually happened in someone's house. Big halls with bench seating, platforms and podiums, not so much, until pagan temple models were adopted and merged. Today, of course, there's a variety of venues, but the home is where it really happens best. Such a place of assembling may be a home or a hall, a yard, a park or a beach, a bus, car, train or plane. It may be called church, fellowship, chapel, camp meeting, conference or seminar. Today, the state of communications technology requires that we identify such a place or instance of assembly a little more broadly than in Paul's day because, while we may still at times meet "locally," in one location, many and perhaps most of us assemble in remote locations facilitated by phone lines, fiber optic cables, satellites, wireless networks and the Internet.

With all the ways we interact socially, what qualifies as a 1 Corinthians 14 church has expanded. Such an assembly may be happening in the context of a chat room, a conference call, a Web forum, a Webinar, online groups, lists or even group email, YouTube, Facebook and Twitter. It's perhaps easier to more strictly define what such a church is not. 1. Private communication between two people. 2. A gathering of saints where no man is present. 3. A mixed gender gathering where activity such as pictured in 1 Corinthians 14 is not happening.


In a nutshell, what does this mean to us?

A women teaching a man or usurping authority over him should not be allowed in any context, public or private (1 Timothy 2). Taking the traditional Sunday morning meeting at the corner church under consideration as the most simple situation, words should not be heard from any female because it's a shame for women to speak in church. After "church" in the fellowship hall, is a woman free to speak? That depends. If folks are engaging in "assembly behavior" and a man is present, it's "church" and she must hold her peace. How about after church when the folks go out to eat together? Ditto. In the marketplace and elsewhere, where and when no "church" activity is being engaged in (or no man is present to hear if there is), a woman is certainly free to speak because the gathering is not a biblical assembly. One who is attentive will be aware how situations change quickly without notice, and it's easy enough to perceive it and then also to recognize when a woman is speaking.

The question we might best be asking at this point isn't whether this is a realistic expectation but whether this is the correct model for our behavior. It's not realistic to expect folks raised in a wicked rebellious Jezebel controlled Mystery Babylon culture to become daughters of Sarah and become worthy of being joined to the Bridegroom, yet, it happens.

When and where two or more men are led by the holy spirit to engage in such activities that are presented in 1 Corinthians 14, if a woman is present she must not speak. No questions, no words. If you're a woman and you're unsure about whether you should hold your peace, err on the side of sacrificing what you may prefer for what He may prefer.

If there's a radio show with "biblical assembly" character and folks are invited to call in with questions or comments, should a woman call in? No, that would be speaking in church. If there's a BlogTalkRadio show with preaching or teaching, prayer or prophecy, etc, and the chat room is open, and if a man is the host, guest or participating in the chat, should a woman actively participate in the chat? Technically, she wouldn't be speaking audible words, so there would be no violation of the letter of the law. However, the spirit of the law would certainly be violated so, no, she should not chat. If there is a forum, or something forum-like that is an arena for public discourse on biblical subjects, unless all men are specifically excluded as participants a woman should not be "heard."

If a blog post is ministering to the saints and provision is made for the submission and posting of comments, should a woman submit a comment? That depends. If comments are moderated and there is no provision to contact the blogger directly, the comment feature is a legitimate means of personal contact. If a woman's comment is submitted and subsequently published and therefore made public, the result is equivalent to speaking in church, is it not? (Ahhhh, right. Give me a few days to adjust my blog, if you would be so kind. I'm learning as I go. Thanks Lord for your exceeding great mercy!) Ladies, if you submit comments to such a blog, it should only be done where there is an assurance that it would not be published lest you be "heard speaking in church."

These examples aren't meant to be the beginnings of a comprehensive manual. This is a guide to inspire those who seek wisdom. How are we to know when a woman is permitted to speak? Here's two recommendations.

1. Want to obey, to please the Lord with subjection in all things.

2. Consider what qualifies as "church" in your life, seeking the Lord's guidance. Expect His help in identifying such and be attentive to His still small voice.

Women, where there's doubt, hold your peace. Men, where there's doubt, show mercy and permit it until the Lord's mind and heart is known with confidence. Seek the Lord about what He would have you do, when and how - and simply follow through with love and faith.

I'm aware how this will stimulate many readers and prompt further questions. The best way to get understanding is to commit yourself to practicing what you know is right. Lord willing, this work on the blog will continue and further light will be brought forth in these matters. I ask yet one more time for your patience as this work is brought forth here and in your life.

Part 18: Jezebel vs Sarah - The Other Sin in the Garden

Continuing from the previous post, the link between 1 Timothy 2 and Genesis provides a vivid example of a woman teaching a man and usurping authority over him, and in that we may discover some precious insight. When the activity in the Garden of Eden is considered, the focus of attention for the vast majority of folks is only ever on the "eating of the fruit of the tree," but yet there were two kinds of sin that were addressed when consequences were pronounced. The other kind involved the relationship between the woman and the man.

16) To the woman He said ... your desire will be for your husband, And he will rule over you."
17) Then to Adam He said, "Because you have listened to the voice of your wife ...

Genesis 3:16b-17a

When you consider the account of what happened in the Garden in this light you should recognize the example of a woman teaching a man and usurping authority over him. This is the sin that led to the other, to his "eating," and the result of both was that dire and extreme but necessary and appropriate consequences were brought forth that remain to this day.

16) To the woman He said, "I will greatly multiply Your pain in childbirth, In pain you will bring forth children; Yet your desire will be for your husband, And he will rule over you."
17) Then to Adam He said, "Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree about which I commanded you, saying, 'You shall not eat from it'; Cursed is the ground because of you; In toil you will eat of it All the days of your life.

Genesis 3:16-17

This subject is addressed at length in a study I recommend as collateral reading, Who is Cain's Father? Part Two, in a side bar titled: "The Other Sin in the Garden."

Both kinds of sin are fully in view when 1 Timothy 2 makes reference to Genesis, and when these things are given proper consideration it becomes apparent that this profound insight has gone so far over our heads it has almost entirely escaped our notice.

11) Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
12) But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
13) For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
14) And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
15) Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.

1 Timothy 2:11-15

When a woman teaches a man she follows the woman's example in the garden, does she not? When a man permits a woman to teach him, does he not follow the example of the man in the garden? How blind we have been in our arrogance!

Lord, forgive me and help me to acknowledge and accept how Your ways are ever higher than my ways. Help me Lord, to the end that I will no longer follow the way of the man and woman in the garden, that I may willingly accept the role you have ordained for me in this life and honor You with obedience!

When you and I follow the example of the man and woman in the garden where a woman teaches or instructs a man and the man permits himself to be instructed, can the result be far different from that in the garden? One sin then led to the other. Should it not, for us today, produce a similar result? We have long sat in darkness, scratching our heads, wondering why, oh why, devils are permitted to have their way with us. When the answer comes, it stuns us to be confronted with the simple truth. When a woman teaches a man and he abides it, you might imagine the devils clapping their hands with glee: "Suckers. They'll never learn!"

If this speaks to you, and I pray it does, take account of yourself and humble yourself before the Creator today. Seek His counsel about what He requires of you and His help to carry it out. I beg you not to make of this study a merely academic exercise.

As you reflect upon these things, you may perceive how both kinds of sin in the garden relate to what has come to be labeled "Jezebel," sexual impropriety and selfish domineering. This is a profound revelation that gives insight into just how important it really is for a man and a woman today, even you and I, to be self-controlled and careful to honor our assigned gender roles.

In this matter, like our parents before us, and theirs before them and back even so far as the first man and woman, most of us have rebelled against our Creator. We have, in so doing, reaped to ourselves severe consequences. We inherit curses, acquire more and pass them on to our children. But the Lord has provided a means for redemption.

Considering our history of casual disregard for the appointment of authority expressed through gender distinction, is it any wonder Jezebel rules with authority over such a vast domain? Is it any wonder that Mystery Babylon, the mother of harlots, is seen riding the scarlet Beast? Through the activity of women teaching men Jezebel receives an open invitation. Disobedience brings a curse. Control spirits associated with Jezebel work through the mechanism of the exercise of control over the "flow of information." When commands that directly involve the headship relationship and the order of and purpose in creation are rebelled against, both genders suffer severe and enduring consequences. It can be no other way.

So it is that a woman must learn in quietness with all subjection. It has only ever been this way. It should well be noted that the matter of a woman being subject to the man is not a consequence of sin but rather preceded it as implicit in the nature of creation.

Deception and Gender

You may recall how that it was the matter of the woman being deceived and not the man given as a reason for why a woman is not to teach or usurp authority over a man.

And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.

1 Timothy 2:14

Will a woman only ever be deceived in her thinking and a man never? No. Of course not. But a woman instructing a man is only ever done in disobedience according to the way of the man and woman in the garden of Eden.

It's common for wicked acts of rebellion to be justified with the notion, "Let us do evil that good may come." (Romans 3:8) It has oft been said that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Let's leave good intentions behind, carnal reasonings that presume we know better than our Maker in Heaven. A woman who instructs a man is already deceived, is she not? A man who permits a woman to teach or himself to be instructed by a woman has himself fallen prey to the deception, drawn into sin that bears with it a curse. Let's take a lesson from the third chapter of Genesis. Let's heed what Paul passed on to Timothy as through the spirit of the living God for you and I.

Where the Rubber Meets the Road

My friends, when the rubber meets the road on this you're likely to hear some screeching tires and see the cloud of smoke and some long skid marks and smell the burnt rubber. Your car may be cruising along on the 6 lane freeway of life and now, all of a sudden, you realize how you need to get off here RIGHT NOW, and start going down that little country lane over yonder, yeah, the one with all the pot holes.

Are you a husband or wife? Had this deal wrong about women teaching men? You're not alone. If you are honest, you're going to have to deal with it. You're going to have to repent. Are you a parent with children? A person with such folk as you consider friends, and want to consider yourself as a true friend to them? What's your behavior modeling and your mouth professing? What are you writing in email, and posting on forums and blog comments? Are you participating in "inappropriate" behavior? Ladies, are you "sharing information" with men in such a way that might be considered as leading or instructing? Men, are you permitting such? Yikes! This is rather confrontational isn't it? Why do I feel like I'm under conviction here. Oh. It's because I am. Oh, Lord help!

Women, are you engaging as a teacher of men through words of any kind, books, blogs, video, radio or Web sites perhaps? Maybe the Lord will just look the other way, like He did with Eve. Oh, wait. OK. No, He probably won't. If you think you've been blessed already despite your disobedience, I'm sure you're right. He is great in mercy! If you consider you've been blessed plenty enough, then you'll just carry on, I suppose. But, consider how much more blessing there might be when a great curse of disobedience is removed, and you're set free from the deceptive rule of Jezebel.

Men, are you permitting women to teach men, even seating yourself at the feet of women to be taught? If so, do you think your behavior truly honors them, or is it rather a dishonoring of your Head, even Christ? Is your bookshelf a witness to the way of Adam, who listened to the voice of his wife and was subsequently rebuked and beset with a curse? Are the references in your books and writings to the teachings of women, or links from your Web site or blog directing men to the same? Is your Web forum an open gender free-for-all? Again, if you think you've been blessed already despite your disobedience, I'm sure you're right. He is great in mercy! But, again, consider how much more blessing there might be when a great curse of disobedience is removed, and you're freed from the deceptive rule of Jezebel.

I don't expect the traffic flow along the 6 lane freeway through Babylon will be much effected by this post or any in the series. However, some of us are waking up to see what road we've been on. If we check ourselves in the mirror, we might see ourselves seated behind the wheel with glazed eyes and a smug look on our faces. Screeeeeech!

In closing, I'll take this opportunity to apologize to those of you I may have deceived through my rebellious behavior and words that have been contrary to the revelation insight presented in this post. This does not exempt me from making more personal confessions and apologies as required, but this is necessary as a testimony and example. I ask for your forgiveness and forbearance, as I too seek to be changed in the hope of finding mercy before the throne. The Bridegroom calls for His Bride, and He rejoices to find her willing to be prepared even in this hour.

More to follow, Lord willing!
