Each time he entered as land as a stranger, out of fear, he said that Sarai/Sarah was his sister. Each time, angels came down from the Lord and struck down the one who took her as a wife. Them and all those whom they were in charge of. Abraham's lying was seemingly supported by the Lord. But what is truly the case is, human wisdom was all that was available without acting on faith. But why did those who Abram/Abraham lied to get punished? The answer is a key to understanding the Law and then its fulfillment.
Now, we know that Abram/Abraham was raised up by the Lord. The Lord held him in favor. The Lord promised Abram that he would make his children like the stars, so vast as to be uncountable. But why would the Lord not correct Abram/Abraham in the lies that created cost, which he then gained from?
As Satan is the Father of lies, we know that Abraham was of this conscience. We also know that any kingdom that fights within itself is defeated in this corruption. So we can say that Satan showed cunning to do the Lord's command. He knew that any leader who saw Sarai/Sarah would desire her, and that under a lie, she would be claimed, but that lie was human, and against the commandments of God that one shall not covet another's wife of possessions. And even though this trickery was done, the breaking of a commandment would bring forth authority from heaven.
There is a deep lesson here.
The Law was brought in so that sin would increase. And when an enemy of the Hebrews or Israelites actes against the Law, they were held accountable, and punished accordingly. All that the Israelites had to do was continue to honor and obey the Lord by His commandments and their ordinance. If they did so, they were kept safe and protected, despite their human actions that provoked their neighbors and enemies into sinful ways. This is what we can consider human wisdom. Provoking others to transgress against the law of God.
Moving forward. Jesus walked among them, and before him, John the Baptist. They Jews were ministered to, and were told that they must not only repent these poisonous ways, but must also produce acts worthy of that repent. This message came with the understanding that the holy conscience was near now, and they were expected to separate themselves from wickedness to embrace love of God and of others.
They were told they were children of the devil, they were told that their ways required change.
We know today, that not only was this commandment of love ignored, but actively denied. Those who consider themselves the children of Abraham, whether by Ismael or Isaac, to this very day have grown vast and powerful in wickedness in the world. They have held up the mediation of Moses, and have denied the mediation of the living God. And to this very day, they still use the Law of sin in malicious and deviant ways. The only difference now is, they act on their own to judge and condemn, because the power of sin has been swept aside by the mediation of Truth.
So they have become the abomination that causes desolation. They have set high the authority of Satan, and by his conscience, (which is the human conscience), have become their own version of righteousness. They place themselves above the authority of God, as they place their belief in their claim of God on an unfulfilled prophesy, which in fact, was fulfilled through Jesus of Nazareth.
So when Paul said the faithful are the true children of Abraham, he was identifying this. He in his time, was spreading the truth which is exactly what got him killed. Now realize the cunning of Satan. He only tempts. He is blameless in what transpires. But there will come a time when he will take claim for what he has done through his manifest, the final Anti Christ. And his kingdom will be raises up and because of the messenger, the False Prophet, the Anti Christ will be honored above all. The children of blood, those who claim to be the true children of Abraham but are not, they will all celebrate this in their blindness. And there will be great suffering and condemnation for those of faith. These are known expectations of times to come.
But how close to this are we? Nations who empower economic development and liberties of the flesh, are already becoming an international union. They work towards controlling populations and raw materials, they defend sexual immorality as a human right, and they starve out their enemies, who do not abide by their will.
In Sodom, a beggar would enter the city. The citizens would give him silver and gold. But when he would try and buy food and water, they would deny him. After days, he would succumb to starvation and thirst, and die. Then they would claim back the silver and gold, and bury the body in the bushes. This was there law.
Economic sanctions are identical this. When a nation attempts to enter the international trading community, they are forced to abide by the international pricing of the goods they offer. And if they do not abide by this, they are not traded with. And then this goes further. If trading has been established, the nation becomes reliant on that trade. Then they are threatened with economic sanctions if they do not abide to social or environmental reforms. The end game being a one world governance and a one world economy. Both of which are founded on the power of Satan, through temptation and lies.
So when Jesus said things in the end times would be like it was in the days of Sodom, we can see clearly that we are not only entering into the serpents mouth, but are already unable to escape it.
In summary, the wickedness of human wisdom has increased and this blindness only serves to separate the faithful from the rest; the wheat from the chaff. Although we are told to honor our human authorities, there will come a time when these authorities will demand our faith be set aside. As believers, we will be forced to strip ourselves of all we have. Those who do not abide will be looked at as better of dead. And in this time, very few will remain faithful.
This is the hours before the dawn. I urge you to remain loving, of the Father and one another. Turn the other cheek, give freely and passionately. Treat others how you would have yourselves be treated. Do not get so involved in the workings of this world so that you begin to defend them, thereby placing your faith in them. Everything Jesus said would come to be, will and is coming to be.
The Kingdom of God, the holy conscience is not only accessible through the Holy Spirit you carry in you, but is within the very foundations of creation itself. When Christ returns to his bride, the Kingdom will be shared with those of His Body. And His Authority will be known by all. The world itself yearns for the children of God to be revealed. Our time with Christ is coming, and will be forever.
Carry On!
