The Rise of False-Worship Globally. Part [15] 08/04/2024 (Morning thought)

Revelation 14:9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, 10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb.

Thus, it is now fitting and necessary to define, and identify true worship, so that persons and families will not inadvertently bow down to devils anymore. The true worship of God has important identifying marks, of which we should be cognizant. [1] True worship will always include, and encourage the keeping of all God’s commandments, including the 4th, which the world is so prone to forget.

Worship has much more to do with obedience than praise, and therefore, all who desire to worship God in spirit and in truth will also be willing to obey Him. Revelation 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. John 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.

1st John 2:3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. 4 He that saith, I know him, and keeps not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5 But whoso keeps his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.

1st John 2:6 He that saith he abides in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.

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

The Rise of False-Worship Globally. Part [14] 08/04/2024 (Evening thought)

1st Samuel 28:24 And the woman had a fat calf in the house; and she hasted, and killed it, and took flour and kneaded it, and did bake unleavened bread thereof. 25 And she brought it before Saul, and before his servants; and they did eat. Then they rose up, and went away that night.

Note well that Saul first bowed in worship, before the devil, and then his lunch was brought out. This has happened over and over again in the Scriptural accounts, hence the reason why we concluded that Revelation 13 is not something new. There is a close symbiosis between worship and food. Here it is again.

Exodus 32:2 And Aaron said unto them, Break off the golden earrings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them unto me. 3 And all the people brake off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron. 5 And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said, Tomorrow is a feast to the Lord. 6 And they rose up early on the morrow and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play.

Daniel 5:1 Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand. 2 Belshazzar, whiles he tasted the wine, commanded to bring the golden and silver vessels which his father Nebuchadnezzar had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem; that the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines, might drink therein. 4 They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone.

Psalms 106:28 They joined themselves also unto Baal-Peor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.

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