Turning promises into lies

The following serves the truth, by explaining clearly; the love of the Father for His Children. It also serves, to clarify the purpose of the blood of the Lamb of God; as the only path to reconciliation with the Father.

2 Chronicles 7:14
14
and My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land.

The Hebrews were the children of Almighty God, that is, they were 'of His name'. This is not whom call themselves Christians, nor, is it any group alive today. The children of God were scattered and the temple of Solomon is no longer a Holy place. The Lord God, does not recognize them, and they remain without a king. This is a promise kept; not a promise ever broken.

The people rescued out of bondage had a different mediator with God. And at judgement Moses will be their prosecutor, separating then the wheat from the chaff.

John 5:45
45

"But do not think I will accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses, on whom your hopes are set.

But Christians are not these people. We are instead a people that are chosen for our loving acts of faith, our belief in what Jesus did for mankind, is recognized by the fruits of the Holy Spirit we bear in our loving acts. Two groups of people. The promised and the chosen.

I say these things because there is a great misconception that quoting the holy texts brings meaning into the present Christian teachings. This is a practice that does not honor the Father's will, no, nor does it recognize the kingdom upon us, nor does it have the Holy Spirit act through us. It is a misconception, a false teaching. The promises made to Solomon were two fold: either He would remain with them; in their obedience, or banish them from His sight. The promise kept was the banishing and the redicule.

2 Chronicles chapter 7 explains all of this. It is lengthy and I am not going to quote it here. But I will quote that which accompanies the promise, which is it's fulfillment. The king of Persia; Cyrus, was called by the God Almighty to raise the temple in His Holy name. An act of faith, not obedience.

2 Chronicles 36:23

“This is what Cyrus king of Persia says:

‘The LORD, the God of heaven, who has given me all the kingdoms of the earth, has appointed me to build a house for Him at Jerusalem in Judah.

Whoever among you belongs to His people, may the LORD his God be with him.’”

2 Chronicles 7:19-22
19
But if you turn away and forsake the statutes and the commandments I have set before you, and if you go off to serve and worship other gods,
20
then I will uproot Israel from the soil I have given them, and this temple that I have sanctified for My Name I will banish from My presence. I will make it an object of scorn and ridicule among all the peoples.

21
And though this temple is now exalted, all who pass by it will be appalled and say, ‘Why has the LORD done such a thing to this land and to this temple?’
22
And others will answer, ‘Because they have forsaken the LORD, the God of their fathers, who brought them out of Egypt, and have embraced other gods, worshiping and serving them. Because of this, He has brought all this disaster upon them.’”

---

Cyrus raised the temple, so that those who were defeated could reconcile with their God. For the Lord God loved those he called His own. And the redicule of having their enemy rebuild their temple, appalled them. But it should have humbled them, as, the Father again kept His promise to them.

---

2 Chronicles 7:13-14
13
If I close the sky so there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send a plague among My people,
14
and My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land.

It is the above holy scripture that is abused. This promise was the deliverance that did not occur, but fulfillment of the promise was instead in their redicule and banishment.

So what can we say? We know that God is just. We know that the truth acts through the faithful just as holy works used to honor the obedient. We are called to be loving; our actions can carry victory over sin; moment to moment in our day. Our sacrifice is self, denying our desires so we can treat others as we have ourselves be treated. We do not need to look back at promises and proverbs that were made to those who came before us. Our battle is in the present moment.
