ABOMINATIONS
Revelations 21:8
8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and
the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters,
and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and
brimstone: which is the second death.
Romans 1:18-32
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven
against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in
unrighteousness; 19 Because that which may be known of
God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 20
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly
seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal
power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: 21
Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God,
neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their
foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing themselves to
be wise, they became fools, 23 And changed the glory of
the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to
birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. 24
Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own
hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 25
Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the
creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. 26
For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women
did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27
And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in
their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly,
and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28 And even as they did not like to retain
God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do
those things which are not convenient; 29 Being filled
with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness,
maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters,
inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31
Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection,
implacable, unmerciful: 32 Who knowing the judgment of
God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the
same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
1 Corinthians 6:9-10
9 Know ye not that the
unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither
fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of
themselves with mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous,
nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of
God.
Galatians 5:19-21
19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest,
which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations,
wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21 Envyings,
murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you
before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such
things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
Ephesians 5:1-12
1 Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear
children; 2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved
us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a
sweetsmelling savour. 3 But fornication, and all
uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh
saints; 4 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor
jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks. 5
For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man,
who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of
these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them. 8
For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord:
walk as children of light: 9 (For the fruit of the
Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) 10
Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. 11 And have
no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove
them. 12 For it is a shame even to speak of those
things which are done of them in secret.
Genesis 9:20-24
20 And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he
planted a vineyard: 21 And he drank of the wine, and was
drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent. 22 And
Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two
brethren without. 23 And Shem and Japheth took a
garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered
the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not
their father�s nakedness. 24 And Noah awoke from his
wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.
You can read more about this in,
1Chronicles 5:1
1 Now the sons of Reuben the firstborn of
Israel, (for he was the firstborn; but, forasmuch as he defiled his father�s
bed, his birthright was given unto the sons of Joseph the son of Israel: and
the genealogy is not to be reckoned after the birthright.
Genesis 35:22
22 And it came to pass, when Israel dwelt in
that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father�s concubine: and
Israel heard it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve:
Genesis 49:4
4 Unstable as water, thou shalt not excel;
because thou wentest up to thy father�s bed; then defiledst thou it: he
went up to my couch.
Proverbs 20:1
1 Wine is a mocker, strong drink is
raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.
Proverbs 23:20-21
20 Be not among winebibbers; among riotous
eaters of flesh: 21 For the drunkard and the glutton shall
come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags.
Proverbs 23: 29-32
29 Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath
contentions? (8675) who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath
redness of eyes? 30 They that tarry long at the wine;
they that go to seek mixed wine. 31 Look not thou upon
the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it
moveth itself aright. 32 At the last it biteth like a
serpent, and stingeth like an adder.
Isaiah 5:11-22
11 Woe unto them that rise up early in the
morning, that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night,
till wine inflame them! 12 And the harp, and the
viol, the tabret, and pipe, and wine, are in their feasts: but they regard not
the work of the LORD, neither consider the operation of his hands.
13 Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have
no knowledge: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude
dried up with thirst. 14 Therefore hell hath enlarged
herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their
multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.
15 And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man
shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled: 16
But the LORD of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and God
that is holy shall be sanctified in righteousness. 17
Then shall the lambs feed after their manner, and the waste places of the fat
ones shall strangers eat. 18 Woe unto them that draw
iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as it were with a cart rope:
19 That say, Let him make speed, and hasten his work, that we may
see it: and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come, that
we may know it! 20 Woe unto them that call
evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for
darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! 21
Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own
sight! 22 Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine,
and men of strength to mingle strong drink:
Luke 21:34-36
34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any
time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of
this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. 35
For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole
earth. 36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that
ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass,
and to stand before the Son of man.
Think about those of our race eating
all of the abominable animals etc., spoken of in,
Leviticus 11
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses and to Aaron,
saying unto them, 2 Speak unto the children of Israel,
saying, These are the beasts which ye shall eat among all the beasts that are
on the earth. 3 Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is
clovenfooted, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat.
4 Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the
cud, or of them that divide the hoof: as the camel, because he cheweth the
cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you. 5
And the coney, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is
unclean unto you. 6 And the hare, because he cheweth the
cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you. 7
And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he
cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you. 8 Of their
flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch; they are unclean
to you. 9 These shall ye eat of all that are in the
waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the
rivers, them shall ye eat. 10 And all that have not fins
and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and
of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto
you: 11 They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye
shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination.
12 Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters,
that shall be an abomination unto you. 13 And these are
they which ye shall have in abomination among the fowls; they shall not be
eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray,
14 And the vulture, and the kite after his kind;
15 Every raven after his kind; 16 And
the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind,
17 And the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl,
18 And the swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle,
19 And the stork, the heron after her kind, and the
lapwing, and the bat. 20 All fowls that creep, going
upon all four, shall be an abomination unto you. 21 Yet
these may ye eat of every flying creeping thing that goeth upon all four,
which have legs above their feet, to leap withal upon the earth; 22
Even these of them ye may eat; the locust after his kind, and the bald
locust after his kind, and the beetle after his kind, and the grasshopper
after his kind. 23 But all other flying creeping things,
which have four feet, shall be an abomination unto you. 24
And for these ye shall be unclean: whosoever toucheth the carcase of them
shall be unclean until the even. 25 And whosoever
beareth ought of the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean
until the even. 26 The carcases of every beast which
divideth the hoof, and is not clovenfooted, nor cheweth the cud, are unclean
unto you: every one that toucheth them shall be unclean. 27
And whatsoever goeth upon his paws, among all manner of beasts that go on
all four, those are unclean unto you: whoso toucheth their carcase shall be
unclean until the even. 28 And he that beareth the
carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: they
are unclean unto you. 29 These also shall be unclean
unto you among the creeping things that creep upon the earth; the weasel, and
the mouse, and the tortoise after his kind, 30 And the
ferret, and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the snail, and the mole.
31 These are unclean to you among all that creep: whosoever
doth touch them, when they be dead, shall be unclean until the even.
32 And upon whatsoever any of them, when they are dead, doth fall,
it shall be unclean; whether it be any vessel of wood, or raiment, or skin, or
sack, whatsoever vessel it be, wherein any work is done, it must be put into
water, and it shall be unclean until the even; so it shall be cleansed.
33 And every earthen vessel, whereinto any of them falleth,
whatsoever is in it shall be unclean; and ye shall break it. 34
Of all meat which may be eaten, that on which such water cometh shall be
unclean: and all drink that may be drunk in every such vessel shall be
unclean. 35 And every thing whereupon any part of their
carcase falleth shall be unclean; whether it be oven, or ranges for pots, they
shall be broken down: for they are unclean, and shall be unclean unto you.
36 Nevertheless a fountain or pit, wherein there is plenty
of water, shall be clean: but that which toucheth their carcase shall be
unclean. 37 And if any part of their carcase fall upon
any sowing seed which is to be sown, it shall be clean. 38
But if any water be put upon the seed, and any part of their carcase fall
thereon, it shall be unclean unto you. 39 And if any
beast, of which ye may eat, die; he that toucheth the carcase thereof shall be
unclean until the even. 40 And he that eateth of the
carcase of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: he also
that beareth the carcase of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until
the even. 41 And every creeping thing that creepeth upon
the earth shall be an abomination; it shall not be eaten. 42
Whatsoever goeth upon the belly, and whatsoever goeth upon all four, or
whatsoever hath more feet among all creeping things that creep upon the earth,
them ye shall not eat; for they are an abomination. 43
Ye shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that creepeth,
neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should be defiled
thereby. 44 For I am the LORD your God: ye shall
therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy: neither
shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that creepeth
upon the earth. 45 For I am the LORD that bringeth you
up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: ye shall therefore be holy, for I
am holy. 46 This is the law of the beasts, and of the
fowl, and of every living creature that moveth in the waters, and of every
creature that creepeth upon the earth: 47 To make a
difference between the unclean and the clean, and between the beast that may
be eaten and the beast that may not be eaten.
Deuteronomy 14
1 Ye are the children of the LORD your God: ye
shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the
dead. 2 For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy
God, and the LORD hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto himself, above
all the nations that are upon the earth. 3 Thou shalt
not eat any abominable thing. 4 These are the beasts
which ye shall eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat, 5
The hart, and the roebuck, and the fallow deer, and the wild goat, and the
pygarg, and the wild ox, and the chamois. 6 And every
beast that parteth the hoof, and cleaveth the cleft into two claws, and
cheweth the cud among the beasts, that ye shall eat. 7
Nevertheless these ye shall not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that
divide the cloven hoof; as the camel, and the hare, and the coney: for they
chew the cud, but divide not the hoof; therefore they are unclean unto you.
8 And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth
not the cud, it is unclean unto you: ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor
touch their dead carcase. 9 These ye shall eat of all
that are in the waters: all that have fins and scales shall ye eat:
10 And whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye may not eat; it is
unclean unto you. 11 Of all clean birds ye shall eat.
12 But these are they of which ye shall not eat: the eagle,
and the ossifrage, and the ospray, 13 And the glede, and
the kite, and the vulture after his kind, 14 And every
raven after his kind, 15 And the owl, and the night
hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind, 16
The little owl, and the great owl, and the swan, 17 And
the pelican, and the gier eagle, and the cormorant, 18
And the stork, and the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.
19 And every creeping thing that flieth is unclean unto
you: they shall not be eaten. 20 But of all clean fowls
ye may eat. 21 Ye shall not eat of any thing that dieth
of itself: thou shalt give it unto the stranger that is in thy gates, that he
may eat it; or thou mayest sell it unto an alien: for thou art an holy people
unto the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother�s milk.
22 Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, that
the field bringeth forth year by year. 23 And thou shalt
eat before the LORD thy God, in the place which he shall choose to place his
name there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the
firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks; that thou mayest learn to fear the
LORD thy God always. 24 And if the way be too long for
thee, so that thou art not able to carry it; or if the place be too far from
thee, which the LORD thy God shall choose to set his name there, when the LORD
thy God hath blessed thee: 25 Then shalt thou turn it
into money, and bind up the money in thine hand, and shalt go unto the place
which the LORD thy God shall choose: 26 And thou shalt
bestow that money for whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, for oxen, or for
sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul desireth:
and thou shalt eat there before the LORD thy God, and thou shalt rejoice,
thou, and thine household, 27 And the Levite that is
within thy gates; thou shalt not forsake him; for he hath no part nor
inheritance with thee. 28 At the end of three years thou
shalt bring forth all the tithe of thine increase the same year, and shalt lay
it up within thy gates: 29 And the Levite, (because he
hath no part nor inheritance with thee,) and the stranger, and the fatherless,
and the widow, which are within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be
satisfied; that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hand
which thou doest.
Isaiah 65:1-6
1 I am sought of them that asked not
for me; I am found of them that sought me not: I said, Behold me,
behold me, unto a nation that was not called by my name. 2
I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, which
walketh in a way that was not good, after their own thoughts;
3 A people that provoketh me to anger continually to my face; that
sacrificeth in gardens, and burneth incense upon altars of brick; 4
Which remain among the graves, and lodge in the monuments, which eat
swine�s flesh, and broth of abominable things is in
their vessels; 5 Which say, Stand by thyself, come not
near to me; for I am holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a
fire that burneth all the day. 6 Behold, it is
written before me: I will not keep silence, but will recompense, even
recompense into their bosom,
Isaiah 66:14-17
14 And when ye see this, your heart shall
rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like an herb: and the hand of the LORD
shall be known toward his servants, and his indignation toward his enemies.
15 For, behold, the LORD will come with fire, and with his
chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with
flames of fire. 16 For by fire and by his sword will the
LORD plead with all flesh: and the slain of the LORD shall be many.
17 They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the
gardens behind one tree in the midst, eating swine�s flesh, and the
abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the LORD.
Now, let us think about Christmas and
the Christmas tree, and see if it is also an abomination unto Yahweh.
Jeremiah 10:1-5
1 Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto
you, O house of Israel: 2 Thus saith the LORD, Learn not
the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the
heathen are dismayed at them. 3 For the customs
of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of
the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. 4
They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with
hammers, that it move not. 5 They are upright as
the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot
go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it
in them to do good.
Leviticus 18:3
3 After the doings of the land of Egypt,
wherein ye dwelt, shall ye not do: and after the doings of the land of Canaan,
whither I bring you, shall ye not do: neither shall ye walk in their
ordinances.
Leviticus 18:24
24 Defile not ye yourselves in any of these
things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you:
Leviticus 18:25-26
25 And the land is defiled: therefore I do
visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her
inhabitants. 26 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and
my judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations;
neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among
you:
Leviticus 18:30
30 Therefore shall ye keep mine
ordinance, that ye commit not any one of these abominable customs, which were
committed before you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein: I am the LORD
your God.
Ezekiel 20:4
4 Wilt thou judge them, son of man, wilt thou
judge them? cause them to know the abominations of their fathers:
Ezekiel 20:7-8
7 Then said I unto them, Cast ye away
every man the abominations of his eyes, and defile not yourselves with the
idols of Egypt: I am the LORD your God. 8 But
they rebelled against me, and would not hearken unto me: they did not every
man cast away the abominations of their eyes, neither did they forsake the
idols of Egypt: then I said, I will pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish
my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.
Ezekiel 20:12-14
12 Moreover also I gave them my sabbaths, to be
a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the LORD
that sanctify them. 13 But the house of Israel rebelled
against me in the wilderness: they walked not in my statutes, and they
despised my judgments, which if a man do, he shall even live in them;
and my sabbaths they greatly polluted: then I said, I would pour out my fury
upon them in the wilderness, to consume them. 14 But I
wrought for my name�s sake, that it should not be polluted before the heathen,
in whose sight I brought them out.
Ezekiel 20:18-20
18 But I said unto their children in the
wilderness, Walk ye not in the statutes of your fathers, neither observe their
judgments, nor defile yourselves with their idols: 19 I
am the LORD your God; walk in my statutes, and keep my judgments, and
do them; 20 And hallow my sabbaths; and they shall be a
sign between me and you, that ye may know that I am the LORD your God.
Ezekiel 20:30-38
30 Wherefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus
saith the Lord GOD; Are ye polluted after the manner of your fathers? and
commit ye whoredom after their abominations? 31 For when
ye offer your gifts, when ye make your sons to pass through the fire, ye
pollute yourselves with all your idols, even unto this day: and shall I be
enquired of by you, O house of Israel? As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will
not be enquired of by you. 32 And that which cometh into
your mind shall not be at all, that ye say, We will be as the heathen, as the
families of the countries, to serve wood and stone. 33
As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely with a mighty hand, and with a stretched
out arm, and with fury poured out, will I rule over you: 34
And I will bring you out from the people, and will gather you out of the
countries wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with a stretched
out arm, and with fury poured out. 35 And I will bring
you into the wilderness of the people, and there will I plead with you face to
face. 36 Like as I pleaded with your fathers in the
wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I plead with you, saith the Lord GOD.
37 And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I
will bring you into the bond of the covenant: 38 And
I will purge out from among you the rebels, and them that transgress against
me: I will bring them forth out of the country where they sojourn, and they
shall not enter into the land of Israel: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
Ezekiel 20:45-49
45 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me,
saying, 46 Son of man, set thy face toward the south,
and drop thy word toward the south, and prophesy against the forest of the
south field; 47 And say to the forest of the south, Hear
the word of the LORD; Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will kindle a fire in
thee, and it shall devour every green tree in thee, and every dry tree: the
flaming flame shall not be quenched, and all faces from the south to the north
shall be burned therein. 48 And all flesh shall see that
I the LORD have kindled it: it shall not be quenched. 49
Then said I, Ah Lord GOD! they say of me, Doth he not speak parables?
This is why Yahweh divorced His
people, because of their abominations before Him.
John 10:22
22 And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the
dedication, and it was winter.
This is the Feast of Dedication also
known as the Feast of Lights, when Israel dedicated the temple to Yahweh that
King Solomon had built.
In 300 B.C. at the time of
Antiochious, the jews had taken over the second temple that had been built in
the time of Ezra and Nehemiah and was sacrificing pigs and such on the alter.
They were also worshiping Bamoth which ==Baal==Lord.
In other words they were worshiping "Jesus" which comes
from the Latin god Ea and Zues, which is a pagan Greek god.
The Macabees came in and slew the
Cainite jews and the priests of Yahweh scrubbed and cleaned up the mess of the
unclean animals that the jews had made. The temple was dedicated to Yahweh
three years later in the wintertime, probably in December around what is known
as Christmas today.
Let us not forget what Elijah did to
the Baal priests of his time. He took them down to the river and had their
heads cut off. So let us quit calling Yahweh "Lord" which means Baal. Let us
begin to use the title "El" which means the Mighty One.
So you don�t think it matters what
holidays we keep, huh? I can tell you that it most certainly does matter. He
tells us exactly what days we are to keep, and no others.
1Kings 12:28-33
28 Whereupon the king took counsel, and made
two calves of gold, and said unto them, It is too much for you to go up
to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land
of Egypt. 29 And he set the one in Bethel, and the other
put he in Dan. 30 And this thing became a sin: for the
people went to worship before the one, even unto Dan.
31 And he made an house of high places, and made priests of the
lowest of the people, which were not of the sons of Levi. 32
And Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the
month, like unto the feast that is in Judah, and he offered upon the
altar. So did he in Bethel, sacrificing unto the calves that he had made: and
he placed in Bethel the priests of the high places which he had made.
33 So he offered upon the altar which he had made in Bethel
the fifteenth day of the eighth month, even in the month which he had
devised of his own heart; and ordained a feast unto the children of Israel:
and he offered upon the altar, and burnt incense.
1Kings 14:1-12
1 At that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam fell
sick. 2 And Jeroboam said to his wife, Arise, I pray
thee, and disguise thyself, that thou be not known to be the wife of Jeroboam;
and get thee to Shiloh: behold, there is Ahijah the prophet, which told me
that I should be king over this people. 3 And take with
thee ten loaves, and cracknels, and a cruse of honey, and go to him: he shall
tell thee what shall become of the child. 4 And
Jeroboam�s wife did so, and arose, and went to Shiloh, and came to the house
of Ahijah. But Ahijah could not see; for his eyes were set by reason of his
age. 5 And the LORD said unto Ahijah, Behold, the wife
of Jeroboam cometh to ask a thing of thee for her son; for he is sick: thus
and thus shalt thou say unto her: for it shall be, when she cometh in, that
she shall feign herself to be another woman . 6 And it
was so, when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet, as she came in at the door,
that he said, Come in, thou wife of Jeroboam; why feignest thou thyself to be
another? for I am sent to thee with heavy tidings. 7
Go, tell Jeroboam, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Forasmuch as I exalted
thee from among the people, and made thee prince over my people Israel,
8 And rent the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave
it thee: and yet thou hast not been as my servant David, who kept my
commandments, and who followed me with all his heart, to do that only which
was right in mine eyes; 9 But hast done evil above all
that were before thee: for thou hast gone and made thee other gods, and molten
images, to provoke me to anger, and hast cast me behind thy back: 10
Therefore, behold, I will bring evil upon the house of Jeroboam, and will
cut off from Jeroboam him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut
up and left in Israel, and will take away the remnant of the house of
Jeroboam, as a man taketh away dung, till it be all gone. 11
Him that dieth of Jeroboam in the city shall the dogs eat; and him that dieth
in the field shall the fowls of the air eat: for the LORD hath spoken it.
12 Arise thou therefore, get thee to thine own house: and
when thy feet enter into the city, the child shall die.
1Kings 14:17
17 And Jeroboam�s wife arose, and departed, and
came to Tirzah: and when she came to the threshold of the door, the
child died;
Isaiah 1:11-28
11 To what purpose is the multitude of your
sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams,
and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of
lambs, or of he goats. 12 When ye come to appear
before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?
13 Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination
unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away
with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting. 14 Your
new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto
me; I am weary to bear them. 15 And when ye spread forth
your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I
will not hear: your hands are full of blood. 16 Wash
you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes;
cease to do evil; 17 Learn to do well; seek judgment,
relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.
18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though
your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red
like crimson, they shall be as wool. 19 If ye be willing
and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land: 20 But
if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of
the LORD hath spoken it. 21 How is the faithful city
become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now
murderers. 22 Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed
with water: 23 Thy princes are rebellious, and
companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards:
they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto
them. 24 Therefore saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts,
the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge
me of mine enemies: 25 And I will turn my hand upon
thee, and purely purge away thy dross, and take away all thy
tin: 26 And I will restore thy judges as at the first,
and thy counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The
city of righteousness, the faithful city. 27 Zion shall
be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness. 28
And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be
together, and they that forsake the LORD shall be consumed.
Jeremiah 6:20
20 To what purpose cometh there to me incense from Sheba, and
the sweet cane from a far country? your burnt offerings are not
acceptable, nor your sacrifices sweet unto me.
Jeremiah 7:18-23
18 The children gather wood, and the fathers
kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen
of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they
may provoke me to anger. 19 Do they provoke me to anger?
saith the LORD: do they not provoke themselves to the confusion of their own
faces? 20 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold,
mine anger and my fury shall be poured out upon this place, upon man, and upon
beast, and upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruit of the ground; and
it shall burn, and shall not be quenched. 21 Thus saith
the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Put your burnt offerings unto your
sacrifices, and eat flesh. 22 For I spake not unto your
fathers, nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out of the land of
Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices: 23
But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be
your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have
commanded you, that it may be well unto you.
Amos 5:21
21 I hate, I despise your feast days, and I
will not smell in your solemn assemblies.
1Timothy 1:8-10
8 But we know that the law is good, if a
man use it lawfully; 9 Knowing this, that the law is not
made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly
and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and
murderers of mothers, for manslayers, 10 For
whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers,
for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is
contrary to sound doctrine;
Hebrews 12:14-29
14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness,
without which no man shall see the Lord: 15 Looking
diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root
of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;
16 Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau,
who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright. 17 For
ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was
rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought
it carefully with tears. 18 For ye are not come unto the
mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness,
and darkness, and tempest, 19 And the sound of a
trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard intreated that
the word should not be spoken to them any more: 20 (For
they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast
touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart:
21 And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I
exceedingly fear and quake:) 22 But ye are come unto
mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and
to an innumerable company of angels, 23 To the general
assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God
the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, 24
And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant , and to the
blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.
25 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped
not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we
turn away from him that speaketh from heaven: 26 Whose
voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I
shake not the earth only, but also heaven. 27 And this
word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken,
as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may
remain. 28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot
be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with
reverence and godly fear: 29 For our God is a consuming
fire.
Revelations 22:10-21
10 And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings
of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand. 11
He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him
be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he
that is holy, let him be holy still. 12 And, behold, I
come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his
work shall be. 13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning
and the end, the first and the last. 14 Blessed are they
that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and
may enter in through the gates into the city. 15 For
without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and
idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. 16 I
Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I
am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.
17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that
heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let
him take the water of life freely. 18 For I testify unto
every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man
shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are
written in this book: 19 And if any man shall take away
from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out
of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are
written in this book. 20 He which testifieth these
things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
Revelation 8:1-8
1 And when he had opened the seventh seal,
there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour. 2
And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were
given seven trumpets. 3 And another angel came and stood
at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much
incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the
golden altar which was before the throne. 4 And the
smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up
before God out of the angel�s hand. 5 And the angel took
the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into
the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and
an earthquake. 6 And the seven angels which had the
seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound. 7
The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with
blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was
burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up. 8 And the
second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was
cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood.
If any of you are guilty of any of
the above, then I would suggest to you that you repent of it immediately. I do
hope and pray that you do for your own sake as well as others around you. The
choice is solely yours! Praise our Father, Yahweh, the King of Israel forever
and even forever.
