These Lying Times....When Donkey's Fly....So Will Elephants (Part 8)

Separation from donkey's and elephants is required for the followers of Jesus Christ....
Few seem aware that we are rapidly approaching the final plans of the completed takeover of America by occult forces from both within and without. Perhaps the "completed" takeover should have long ago been recognized, but it was never so evident as it is today. What is rapidly approaching is what the "completed takeover" has in store for us. If history is indicative of the future, and it is said that history repeats itself, as is also said that there is nothing new under the sun, then history foretells of horrible times ahead for the peoples of America and of the world. God's Word confirms what lies ahead and many Christians do know that, but few seem prepared for it. When true history has been mostly hidden from us and when Christians neither know what is True based on God's Word, either, only disaster awaits. It is a disaster that has been planned by evil forces, especially for those Christians who believe that a 'rapture' will save them before horrible wickedness prevails. Christians tend to believe that they can depend solely on the Lord separating the wheat from the tares and all that is required of them is to 'believe.' Yet, God says, "even Satan believes." Meanwhile Christians mingle with the unrighteous and enjoy the things of this world, putting self before God. The need for separation from temptation is ignored. Babylon lives and thrives in the lives of the spiritually undiscerning.
The Christian purpose of separation is for purity and righteousness, both in belief and in behavior. It was God's Way for the Hebrews to avoid temptations from the pagan environment that surrounded them. All governments and societies of their day were pagan worshipers. Their habits and behavior and beliefs were
abominations to the God of the Hebrews. God wanted His Children to be separate to avoid the temptations of the flesh and thus avoid the sinful ways that might be an influence on them. God's call for separation is no less appropriate for His Children living in today's world for we are living in an occult world. Believers are called to be a witness to such a world, but not to be a part of it. Beyond the fact that we live "in" the world, we are instructed that we are not to be "of" the world. Is that not an admonition to be separate?
The Hebrews as a Godly nation called Israel did maintain a separateness, but only for as long as they kept their faith in their God and were obedient to Him. Their exposure to their pagan environment allowed enticements of the flesh to overcome their desire to obey their God and we know the history that followed as a result of their failure to remain separate and avoid temptation. Jesus Christ taught a separateness and a liberty that was not acceptable to the legalist Pharisees of His day. It threatened their status quo of power and influence over the deceived sheep. We know what that results became.
Today, the Israel that is referred to as His People are scattered the world over and separateness as a nation of believers is practically impossible. However, I can't find where God says that if you can't gather together in one place and be a nation, failure to be separate is forgiven. God scattered His People, but those blood lines remain to inherit God's Promises made to Abraham and as Believers we are all the seed of Abraham. New Testament Israel, God's modern Israel, includes all who follow Jesus Christ, both Jew and Gentile. While the unbelieving Jews are mentioned specifically and their judgement written, the establishment of the nation of Israel as we see them today, is Satan's attempt to mimic God and it is an anti-
Christ nation.
Jesus Christ brought all who believed together, spiritually and He and His Disciples have provided for us what we need to do to be separate. True Believer's, few though they be, in the nation of Israel of today, are just as admonished to "come out of her' and be separate, as are Believers anywhere in the world. I suppose Believers in America will have to experience the horrors of the early church before they will wake up and see what being and living separate means. You see, we have had it too easy and have failed to seek His Narrow Road, which is one of separateness. An evil system has offered us the lusts of the flesh and those lusts have been brought into the churches of today taking on the cover of praise and worship. Separation, unfortunately includes the need to leave many of the churches of today as well as refusing to participate in an anti-Christ civil government.
Separation embodies freedom from bondage. Indebtedness is bondage. You can not be separate from an evil system of bondage and be indebted to it, or have debt within its' system. Few are the Christians that can live separately from the bondage of indebtedness. Indebtedness makes us a servant to the system and we are ruled by it. The debtor cannot be master over the creditor, but the creditor is the absolute master of the debtor. God is jealous of any other master in the Christian life. If you read your Bible and believe what it says, you already know this, but you may not have connected it to indebtedness. You should.
Our forefathers worked dawn to dusk six days and rested on the Sabbath or Sunday, and even non-Christians followed this habit. People saved and bought, earned, grew, raised, and sold or traded for their needs. People traded both goods and labor and charitable giving was significant in the Christian life. They were largely independent and unindebted. Greed was more seen in hard work than by crime, but the greed that bred sin was usually dwelt with promptly. Government was less intrusive and Christians lived rather separately, without great effort, from the system that was to come. Neighbors helped neighbors, churches helped the needy, and the only debt owed was to God. Separation requires us to be debt free first and foremost. Our first and foremost focus will never be on God as long as we are indebted to an evil secular society. Debt is a ruthless master, competing for our attention, competing with God. Yet, today we have pastors leading their flock into debt for the sake of bigger church buildings, never once addressing the fact that the individuals that form their congregations should be led toward eliminating their own debts, and not encouraging debt for any reason. Separateness is not taught in churches. Bondage is not addressed. Pastors are destroying their flock with a lack of knowledge. Satan never had it so good, nor so easy.
Separation means doing without. It means sacrifice. It means finding a different source, a moral source for our satisfactions. It means turning away from the world and all its' glitter and immoral enticements. It means standing firm for moral principles and being willing to stand alone therefor. It means suffering. It means ignoring ridicule and personal attacks from even those for whom we greatly care. Separation requires frugality. It requires us to be thrifty. It requires saving for that rainy day. It requires us to be self-reliant, independent of all things of the world, dependent only upon God. Separation requires us to search the Scriptures for His / our guidance in fulfilling our needs. Separation means not looking to government for our needs, not seeking from government that which belongs to others, not depending upon government to take care of us. Separation requires separation from Socialism and the evilness of it. That separation alone, will force us to be more self-reliant and dependent only upon God.
Separation requires the Godly education of our children. Godly education is not found in secular government schools. Unfortunately it is not often found in the home. Most homes of today lack Godly parents. Christian parents simply ignore God's value for children and His Admonition to bring them up in the ways of the Lord. God holds Christian parents responsible for and accountable for the righteous education of their children. Separation means taking children out of the anti-Christ socialist government school system, lest they be partakers of her sins and follow the ways of the world. We may be forced to support these systems, these abominations, but we do not otherwise have to participate in them. We should keep our children separate from them.
If we are participating in a system of government that is unrighteous; if we are supporting a system of government that is unrighteous; if we are seeking benefits from an unrighteous government, we are not living separate of the world. We are not living in a way to avoid temptations. It is a temptation to vote for the lesser of two evils. It is a temptation to listen to political lies and become deceived. It is a temptation to devote time and effort in support of some political party in which we falsely believe is found our best interests. We are tempted to believe lies. We are embracing immorality by an unrighteous government by our participation in it. We are supporting immorality when we pay tributes to fund it. Living separate from government has its' challenges and its hardships and may seem impossible, but there is no excuse to embrace it fully simply because it cannot be separated from our life completely. Laws do not make morality and obedience to them do not make morality. Many laws are immoral and in direct disobedience to God. It may well mean that our moral principles require us to violate some laws and be willing to suffer the consequences. However, just because we are too fearful to refuse these shackles, does not mean we should volunteer to accept them, although most do. It's a choice; a choice to live as separate and as free as possible, accepting risk, or volunteering to bow to the bondage of these evil masters with all their temptations. Are you prepared to bow to an Obama, a Communist, a Marxist? Or it could have been a Fascist Socialist. Is this the system you should support and to which you should volunteer tributes? Are you going to seek benefits from this immoral, unrighteous government? And you participated in this evil system and voted for one or the other? Shame on you, if you are a serious Christian. How could anyone think that God is pleased by such ignorance, such a mingling with unrighteousness, such lack of separation and the succumbing to temptation. Without separation, we are partakers of her sins and our witness is tainted. Our judgement will reflect our failure to be a separate people. His Justice will hold us accountable for giving in to such temptation. The Bible tells us of the consequences that await those who participate in the temptations of the Babylonian system, an anti-Christ occult system of government.
Separation requires us to abstain from unequal associations; unbelievers. It requires that we practice restraint. It requires that we judge everything by its' purity and righteousness, and that includes the churches and organizations in which we reside. Many Christians mingle with the unrighteous and commit blasphemy in the clubs and fraternities and societies to which they have joined. Their light is snuffed in darkness, their souls at risk. No better example can be offered than Freemasonry, as an occult society that is an adversary of the Teachings of Jesus Christ, yet many Christians take the oaths and perform the rituals of Freemasonry in their darkened lodges, temples of iniquity. Let's just look at the first vow and ask why a true believing Christian would not want to remain separate from.
"I, (name) of my own free will and accord, in the presence of Almighty God and this Worshipful Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons, . . . solemnly and sincerely promise and swear, that I will always heel, forever conceal, and never reveal any of the secret arts, parts, or points of the hidden mysteries of Freemasonry, which I have received, am about to receive, or may be hereafter instructed in, to any person unless it shall be to a worthy Brother Entered Apprentice, or within the body of a just and duly constituted Lodge. . . . Furthermore: I do promise and swear that I will not write, indict, print, paint, stamp, stain, hue, cut, carve, mark or engrave the same upon anything movable or immovable, whereby or whereon the least word, syllable, letter, or character may become legible or intelligible to myself or another, whereby the secrets of Freemasonry may be unlawfully obtained through my unworthiness. To all of which I do solemnly and sincerely promise and swear, without any hesitation, mental reservation, or secret evasion of mind in me whatsoever; binding myself under no less a penalty than that of having my throat cut across, my tongue torn out, and with my body buried in the sands of the sea at low-water mark, where the tide ebbs and flows twice in twenty-four hours, should I ever knowingly or willfully violate this, my solemn Obligation of an Entered Apprentice. So help me God and make me steadfast to keep and perform the same."
This oath is taken while blindfolded and with a rope around the neck. Then we have the ritual with words from the Master Mason Degree:
"Then, finally my brethren, let us imitate our Grand Master, Hiram Abiff, in his virtuous conduct, his unfeigned piety to God, and his inflexible fidelity to his trust; that, like him, we may welcome the grim tyrant, Death, and receive him as a kind messenger sent by our Supreme Grand Master, to translate us from this imperfect to that all-perfect, glorious, and celestial Lodge above, where the Supreme Architect of the Universe presides."
Unknowingly, the Christian, who in his own mind thinks he is naming his own God, is in fact worshiping Lucifer. But, whether or not he knows to whom the rituals are directed, can anyone who has studied the Word of God, believe that these are vows of holiness? Separation means "coming out of her," if you are involved and reframing from, if you are not.
Jesus Christ and His Disciples were risk-takers and suffered greatly for their teaching and their example. Today, even in America, those who separate and live accordingly, are risk-takers and will be ridiculed, ostracized, perhaps imprisoned, as well as finding it difficult just to meet their basic needs of food and shelter. Little wonder that the secular world and many claiming to be Christians would see those who are trying to live separate, as being insane. However, choosing separation is necessary for those who intend to follow the Teaching of His Word and who expect to please an Almighty God.
Separation provides a joy from knowing we are attempting to live in a way to avoid temptation as God has directed. Separation allows us to focus on Him without distraction, with less temptation, exalting God for His many Blessings, the results of His Promises and our faith in them. It is a narrow road to follow, a valley in the shadow of death, but it is a righteous path that brings us closer to the Father, the true God, and that's for all eternity. The Bible tells us that the secular world lives to die; the true Believer/Follower dies to live. Separation allows us to die for Him so that we may live with Him.
