The Rise of False-Worship Globally. Part [13] 08/03/2024 (Morning thought)

1st Samuel 28: 13 And the king said unto her, be not afraid: for what did you see? And the woman said unto Saul, I saw gods ascending out of the earth.

1st Samuel 28:14 And he said unto her, what form is he of? And she said, an old man cometh up; and he is covered with a mantle. And Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the ground, and bowed himself. 20 Then Saul fell straightway all along on the earth, and was sore afraid, because of the words of Samuel: and there was no strength in him; for he had eaten no bread all the day, nor all the night.

1st Samuel 28:21 And the woman came unto Saul, and saw that he was sore troubled, and said unto him, Behold, thine handmaid hath obeyed thy voice, and I have put my life in my hand, and have hearkened unto thy words which thou spoke unto me. 22 Now therefore, I pray thee, hearken thou also unto the voice of thine handmaid, and let me set a morsel of bread before thee; and eat, that thou mayest have strength, when thou goest on thy way.

[Patriarchs & Prophets pp 679] After practicing her incantations, she said, “I saw gods ascending out of the earth.... An old man cometh up; and he is covered with a mantle. And Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the ground, and bowed himself.” It was not God's holy prophet that came forth at the spell of a sorcerer's incantation. Samuel was not present in that haunt of evil spirits.

1st Samuel 28:8 And Saul disguised himself, and put on other raiment, and he went, and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night: and he said, I pray thee, divine unto me by the familiar spirit, and bring me him up, whom I shall name unto thee.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!

The Rise of False-Worship Globally. Part [12] 08/03/2024 (Evening thought)

Revelation 18:3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.

In studying the topic for today, we will discover that throughout the ages, there has always been a close relation between food and worship, which is again, brought to view in Revelation 13. The ability to buy or sell is tied directly to one’s worship choice, and it will inevitably include your daily bread.

In other words, all who will in the future, subscribe to the false worship that would be mandated by the lamb-like beast, will be eating their daily bread from the devil, plain and simple. He may allow merchants and peddlers to handle it and ship it, but all roads will ultimately lead back to the dragon.

Revelation 18:11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buys their merchandise any more. 12 The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,

Revelation 18:13 And cinnamon, and odors, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
