Date Posted：06/07/2015 5:02 PMCopy HTML ~~ Fall of the Old Testament, Deut. 28 ~~ In Deuteronomy one, Moses tells how the people became afraid and refused to go into Cannon when God wanted them to.  So God told them that only the two who believed they could take the land as God had said and the ones who were too young to know good from evil would be allowed to go into the promised land.  The others had to wonder in the wilderness until they were all dead. Now this is showing that the first people whom God brought into existence, those of Adam’s race, failed to believe God and to go into his eternal glory.  So they were cast aside and only the few who truly trusted God were saved and went into the new world, after the flood.  This is showing that those who were first, will be last.  Those who are of the law shall not go into the true Glory of God.  They were first and had no faith. De 28:1 And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: De 28:2 And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.  De 28:3 Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field. De 28:4 Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep. De 28:5 Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store. De 28:6 Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out.  De 28:7 The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways. De 28:8 The LORD shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. De 28:9 The LORD shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, and walk in his ways.  De 28:10 And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the LORD; and they shall be afraid of thee. De 28:11 And the LORD shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers to give thee. De 28:12 The LORD shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.  De 28:13 And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them: De 28:14 And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.   The above is God’s promise to this first group as He told them of the blessings He would give them if they obey his commandments.  This is showing the law group of people of the Old Testament.  They fit in  the things of God with Adam’s society before the flood.  They had a chance to live for God and be his People, but they failed.  So God discards this group and brings in a group of Faith people who will bear the fruits of his kingdom. De 28:15 But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee: De 28:16 Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the field.  De 28:17 Cursed shall be thy basket and thy store. De 28:18 Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy land, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep. De 28:19 Cursed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and cursed shalt thou be when thou goest out. De 28:20 The LORD shall send upon thee cursing, vexation, and rebuke, in all that thou settest thine hand unto for to do, until thou be destroyed, and until thou perish quickly; because of the wickedness of thy doings, whereby thou hast forsaken me.  De 28:21 The LORD shall make the pestilence cleave unto thee, until he have consumed thee from off the land, whither thou goest to possess it. De 28:22 The LORD shall smite thee with a consumption, and with a fever, and with an inflammation, and with an extreme burning, and with the sword, and with blasting, and with mildew; and they shall pursue thee until thou perish. De 28:23 And thy heaven that is over thy head shall be brass, and the earth that is under thee shall be iron. Now here we are given the curses which came upon this rebellious group of law folks who always worshiped idols.  God cursed everything they went to do.  This is exactly the same message as the Fall of the Old Testament. This is shown to be fulfilled in the Book of Lamentations.  Study it with this chapter and you will see exactly the fall of the OT, how it happened and why. Notice he said thy heaven over thy head shall be brass and the earth under thee shall be iron.  What is that showing?  It is showing that they were destined to live under the bondage of that old law until they are consumed.  Brass and iron is that law.  This is showing that no spiritual blessing will ever be upon those who cling to that old law.  It is a curse, as Paul clearly shows in the Book of Galatians.  De 28:24 The LORD shall make the rain of thy land powder and dust: from heaven shall it come down upon thee, until thou be destroyed. De 28:25 The LORD shall cause thee to be smitten before thine enemies: thou shalt go out one way against them, and flee seven ways before them: and shalt be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth. See that the old law group was totally destroyed.  Powder and dust.  What is that?  Dust thou are and to dust shalt thou return.  Dust shall be the serpents meat.  So they are deprived of all spiritual things and given only earthly, carnal stuff.  They go out against their enemies, the NT ministers, and flee seven ways before them.  That is those seven defiled churches.  In those churches are those who still cling to law and refuse to acknowledge that by Grace through Faith are we saved.  They are still denying this Grace and Faith and attempting to come into eternal life by that old law.  But it is condemned and only dust.  So then we see that the dust is that old law.  They were removed into all the kingdoms of the earth because that old church is the same as that old law group and they are in all this world.  They were smitten before their enemies, which was the Church born on the Day of Pentecost.  Either they submit to this group and become true Christians, are they are removed into those seven defiled churches, which will eventually be destroyed. De 28:26 And thy carcase shall be meat unto all fowls of the air, and unto the beasts of the earth, and no man shall fray them away. Their carcase?  That is the old food from that law.  It is now given to the fowls of the air.  Air is the kingdom of Satan.  He is the prince of the power of the air.  So only Satan’s people will be eating this meat of old law.  It is not the food for the Sheep of God.  We can only eat the grace message.  The beasts of the earth, which is wicked men and false teachers, eat of this dead carcase of the law.  No one will fray them away from eating this dead, rotten old food of law. De 28:27 The LORD will smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with the emerods, and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof thou canst not be healed. De 28:28 The LORD shall smite thee with madness, and blindness, and astonishment of heart: De 28:29 And thou shalt grope at noonday, as the blind gropeth in darkness, and thou shalt not prosper in thy ways: and thou shalt be only oppressed and spoiled evermore, and no man shall save thee. This is totally spiritual.  It is showing that those who cling to that old law and idols will be destroyed with the sickness of Egypt, which is this world system.  They cannot be healed of this because they refused the Baptism of the Holy Ghost. Their pride doth testify against them.  They were too proud to humble themselves and allow God to speak through them and wallow them in the floor if he so chooses.  We must be willing to be made a spectacle before the World, for God’s sake, if he so chooses.  He said the NT Christians were made a spectacle to all the world.  They were smitten with madness as they saw the power of God upon Peter, and all that true Church of that day and themselves left with nothing.  Even when the great light of the gospel of salvation shown at its brightest they could not see it and were blinded.  They were oppressed and spoiled as they refused this new and true Move of God.  That day of Resurrection of Jesus and the day of Pentecost was that noon day sun.  They were blinded to this. De 28:30 Thou shalt betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her: thou shalt build an house, and thou shalt not dwell therein: thou shalt plant a vineyard, and shalt not gather the grapes thereof.  They spiritually thought they had a wife.  But see that this wife of law was not allowed to last.  So another man had to lie with her.  This man was Jesus as he took from among them a bride for himself.  This was that Church which was born at Pentecost.  They had tried to build an house of that old law, but it proved to be on the sand and they could not dwell in it.  They had planted a ‘vineyard’ of law, but could not gather any life of it.  Their vines were spoiled. De 28:31 Thine ox shall be slain before thine eyes, and thou shalt not eat thereof: thine ass shall be violently taken away from before thy face, and shall not be restored to thee: thy sheep shall be given unto thine enemies, and thou shalt have none to rescue them. This is most glorious indeed.  Their ‘OX’, or the one to be slain for their sacrifices for sin, was slain right before their very eyes, as Jesus hung on that cross.  But they could not eat of it.  They were blinded and could not see this great light.  The ‘ass’ of their old sacrifices was violently taken away from before their face, as they watched the true sacrifice for sins hang there and die a violent death.  So their old sacrifice was never restored to them.  I asked a Jewish person a few days ago if they still do the sacrifices.  She said no, because they have no temple. See, God never let them resume this evil as they have rejected the true temple and the true OX slain for sins.  Their ‘sheep’ was given to their enemies, which was that New Testament Church.  Their ‘sheep’ was Jesus Christ.  He left them and became the head of the corner, which they had rejected.  No one can ever rescue that old way back for them again.  It is gone forever. This one is even better:  De 28:32 Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given unto another people, and thine eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them all the day long: and there shall be no might in thine hand. Their sons and daughters were the ones who received the Holy Ghost on the Day of Pentecost as prophesied by Joel.  They were given to the New Testament People of Grace and no amount of longing for them to come back could do any good.  They could not get these people to return to that old bondage of law, after tasting the goodness of Grace and salvation. De 28:33 The fruit of thy land, and all thy labours, shall a nation which thou knowest not eat up; and thou shalt be only oppressed and crushed alway: All the labours of that old covenant had gone to waste as God refused it.  Their labour now went to the New Christians.  This is the nation which now ate up that old way and proved it was not of God.  So those who clung to that law after God proved it was not his way, were oppressed and  crushed always, De 28:34 So that thou shalt be mad for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see. They were maddened at the sight of their own children having the great power and life of God as they themselves were left with nothing but emptiness and death. De 28:35 The LORD shall smite thee in the knees, and in the legs, with a sore botch that cannot be healed, from the sole of thy foot unto the top of thy head. De 28:36 The LORD shall bring thee, and thy king which thou shalt set over thee, unto a nation which neither thou nor thy fathers have known; and there shalt thou serve other gods, wood and stone. De 28:37 And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all nations whither the LORD shall lead thee. This is the very same destruction which is told of in Lamentations.  God totally wiped that law bondage out.  All who would not come into Grace and the cleansing power of the blood of Jesus, were left back there without anything but death.  God took that entire old nation of Israel, their king, their prophets and priests, down and sent them into all other nations where they still served their idols of wood and stone,  now evident in their ‘church buildings’, as those seven churches replaced that old Israelite nation.  Now Satan’s seat is in those churches as they worship the works of their own hands as they did the golden calves. De 28:38 Thou shalt carry much seed out into the field, and shalt gather but little in; for the locust shall consume it. De 28:39 Thou shalt plant vineyards, and dress them, but shalt neither drink of the wine, nor gather the grapes; for the worms shall eat them. That old law nation became the seven churches, still clinging to law.  They have preached much.  They have spread their empty words all over this world.  Preachers have been on all fields spreading their ‘seed’ out into the ‘field’ or the world.  But it has brought very little in.  The LOCUST will consume it.  The Locust?  This is the judgment ministry of the Saints of God who receive the baptism of fire with which to destroy that old dead church.  Yes, these Saints of God who are on fire with this Spirit of wrath from God, will consume all of the false ‘wheat’ which this people have brought forth with their much seed.   They planted their ‘church vineyards ‘and dressed them, with their big buildings, parties, and idol worship, but they cannot drink of the wine of their grapes, for the worms ate them.  What is those worms?  Read Joel one.  It is those old worms which the false churches brought up.  They ate their grapes up and destroyed everything they tried to accomplish. De 28:40 Thou shalt have olive trees throughout all thy coasts, but thou shalt not anoint thyself with the oil; for thine olive shall cast his fruit. De 28:41 Thou shalt beget sons and daughters, but thou shalt not enjoy them; for they shall go into captivity.  De 28:42 All thy trees and fruit of thy land shall the locust consume. De 28:43 The stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very high; and thou shalt come down very low. De 28:44 He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him: he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail. Now go back and read the first verses of this message and look here. See that the BLESSINGS that are pronounced in those first verses, are really to the New Covenant Church, or people of Grace.  How do I know?   De 28:13 And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them: See, it was prophesy to the New Testament People.  They are the head and that rebellious law nations is the tail. The true Olive Tree, the Kingdom of Jesus, shall be in their coasts, but they will not be able to anoint themselves with the Oil, which is the Holy Ghost.  Their own olive tree cast his fruit for they would not come into grace.  So their olive failed.  Their children went into the captivity to Jesus and left that old group of law folks alone.  Those Locusts of Rev. nine consume all of those old law ‘trees’ or groups which cling to law in the face of Grace. The stranger that is within them is the Christians.  These Christians get up very high above these law folks and they go very low.  We lend to them and try to help them get to God.  We are the head and they are the tail. De 28:45 Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed; because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee: De 28:46 And they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and upon thy seed for ever. God has already determined to destroy all of that old law bondage children, because they would not hearken to the voice of Jesus and keep the commandments of God to come into Grace and forsake that old law which God hated.  They shall be a sign and a wonder upon they seed for ever.  This is the signs of the Baptism of the Holy Ghost as they spoke in other tongues as the Spirit of God gave them utterance. The wonders was their bringing forth a man child of God as they could go forth and heal the sick, raise the dead and all the miracles which Jesus did. De 28:47 Because thou servedst not the LORD thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things; De 28:48 Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the LORD shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee. Because that when God had blessed these old testament people with all goodness they did not joyfully serve him, he now sends their enemies, the Christians, against them and they are now in hunger and in thirst, as they cannot ‘eat’ of the ‘new corn’ or the message of Grace and they are left naked because they refused the covering of the Blood of Jesus Christ.  Now they want all things and have that iron yoke of law around their neck till it destroys them.  That false church put that iron yoke of law right back on their necks, teaching again old Sabbaths and such.  They brought them right back into bondage and death. De 28:50 A nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the person of the old, nor show favour to the young: De 28:51 And he shall eat the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy land, until thou be destroyed: which also shall not leave thee either corn, wine, or oil, or the increase of thy kine, or flocks of thy sheep, until he have destroyed thee. This nation of fierce countenance, believe it or not, is that one of fierce countenance in Daniel.  It is the Christians under Jesus.  Jesus is this king of fierce countenance.  I know this is backwards to what everyone else teaches but it is proven right here.  He respects no man but commands everyone to repent and turn from their sins.  He eats up all of that old store and destroys it forever.  No life is left in that old covenant.  It is destroyed because of the Anointing.  Their ‘old’ corn, wine and oil, the sheep and cows which they used in their old covenant sacrifices is destroyed.  It is not more.  It will not work for them now.  Glory to God. De 28:52 And he shall besiege thee in all thy gates, until thy high and fenced walls come down, wherein thou trustedst, throughout all thy land: and he shall besiege thee in all thy gates throughout all thy land, which the LORD thy God hath given thee. He, (Jesus, the one with the fierce countenance)  {see that he is fierce against that old covenant?}.. Will besiege in all their gates, (law yoke), until their high and fenced ‘walls’ of law, come down.  He will not let up until he has taken that old bondage of law off the face of this earth.  That high wall of bondage is still up.  But that man of fierce countenance is still working against it and will not stop until he has destroyed it off this entire earth.  They trust in that old law, or wall, but it will come down and no one will be in that  covenant anymore.  Satan, your kingdom is coming down!  Jesus has declared it and he will not repent till he has destroyed you off the face of this earth.  Old law church, you naked, blind and luke warm thing, still clinging to law, are coming down.  He has decreed it. De 28:53 And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, which the LORD thy God hath given thee, in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee: Now in this siege against the old covenant, those who find themselves starving and realize that there is no longer any life or food left in this old covenant, will then turn and ‘eat’ the fruit of their own body, (that old law), or they will eat the flesh of their sons and daughters, who are baptized with the Holy Ghost.  Their ‘flesh’ is the Word of God, according to the New Testament.  That is the flesh which we eat to live.  So only those from the old covenant, who see this truth, and turn and EAT the flesh which their children offer them, will live.  They must go eat from their enemies, those Apostles.  They are distressed to learn that they are no longer to be under that bondage of LAW, ACTS 15.   {How could they have been so deceived?}  How could they have missed this truth?  Paul, it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks!  How could you have missed it? De 28:54 So that the man that is tender among you, and very delicate, his eye shall be evil toward his brother, and toward the wife of his bosom, and toward the remnant of his children which he shall leave: De 28:55 So that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children whom he shall eat: because he hath nothing left him in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee in all thy gates. The hard hearted will reject this message of the Apostles, of the blood of Jesus Christ and grace.  But the ones who are tender will come to it when they see that to stay in that old covenant of law will starve them to eternal death.  So they then turn and ‘eat’ the ‘flesh’ or the spiritual food, which their ‘children’ have given to him.  These ‘children’ are those who receive the Holy Ghost.  He now eats this food which they feed him.  Since some of his family is still rejecting this, he will not give it to them, but will eat it himself and live.  He saw that there was nothing left in his ‘gates’ of law.  His enemies, the Apostles, had besieged them until they had nothing left but to die or turn to Jesus. De 28:56 The tender and delicate woman among you, which would not adventure to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom, and toward her son, and toward her daughter, De 28:57 And toward her young one that cometh out from between her feet, and toward her children which she shall bear: for she shall eat them for want of all things secretly in the siege and straitness, wherewith thine enemy shall distress thee in thy gates. This is the same thing with women.  Those who are tender will turn to Jesus and secretly eat of the message of Grace and will not let her family know it as they would kill her.  Thus it was fulfilled that mother shall be against daughter and sons again Fathers, and Father against sons, etc.  Those who turned to Jesus in those first days of Grace, sometimes had to be secret disciples for fear of being killed by those wicked hypocrites who cling to law and rejected Grace.  She ‘eats’ the flesh of her ‘children’ those who preach Grace.  She ‘eats’ their spiritual FOOD and lives. De 28:58 If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name, THE LORD THY GOD;  De 28:59 Then the LORD will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses, and of long continuance.  De 28:60 Moreover he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt, which thou wast afraid of; and they shall cleave unto thee.  De 28:61 Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in the book of this law, them will the LORD bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed. De 28:62 And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as the stars of heaven for multitude; because thou wouldest not obey the voice of the LORD thy God. Here God gives that nation of Israel the word that if they do not obey his law which Jesus taught them, that they will receive the plagues written in the Word of God and will be reduced in number to just a few, whereas they were as the stars of heaven.  Now because they will not obey the voice of the Lord God as Jesus speaks His word, they will be destroyed.  You cannot have life in that old covenant.  It FELL and great was the FALL OF IT..  The Fall of the Old Testament.  The greatest message every given to mankind.  I fully believe this. De 28:63 And it shall come to pass, that as the LORD rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you; so the LORD will rejoice over you to destroy you, and to bring you to nought; and ye shall be plucked from off the land whither thou goest to possess it.  De 28:64 And the LORD shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone. De 28:65 And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest: but the LORD shall give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind: Here God finishes telling those who cling to law that he will destroy them and scatter them among all people.  See this thing moved from that old nation of Israel to all flesh.  It now goes to everyone on this earth.  So as they refused to accept Grace and become one with all of God’s people, then he let them be among all churches, but still are in death.  As they refused the Pentecostal message and mocked it and sneered at it, they find only fear, trembling heart and failing of eyes, as they cannot see any truth. They now have only sorrow of mind.  So sad to see the world right now in this destroyed condition.  Repent and turn to Jesus and the Gates of the Apostles. Why perish when all you have to do is accept the Holy Ghost as recorded in Acts 2.  Why sit here till you die?  See that they refused the Holy Ghost baptism, so even though they keep on with their ‘weekly Sabbaths’, they find no rest.  The true Rest is this Holy Ghost baptism.  Isa 28. De 28:66 And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt fear day and night, and shalt have none assurance of thy life:  De 28:67 In the morning thou shalt say, Would God it were even! and at even thou shalt say, Would God it were morning! for the fear of thine heart wherewith thou shalt fear, and for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see.  De 28:68 And the LORD shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you. Those who reject Pentecost will doubt for any assurance of their life.  In the MORNING, when the new day began, the Day of Salvation or Grace, they wished it could be evening again.  For they did not want to leave their comfort zone and come into the unknown of Grace.  They were used to that law. How could it be wrong?  How could it not be the way to serve God?  They had always had to do that thing, how could it now be wrong?  Oh, would God it were even.  We cannot deal with the bright morning light.  Resurrected Son of God?  How can such a thing be?  God cannot have a son.  God did not give us a living man for the sheep offering.  Oh how could such a thing be.  We killed him.  How can he now be alive and we are required to love him, a man, and worship him, when our God commanded us not to worship anyone but Him?  Oh how can this be?  Would God it were evening and we could offer our evening sacrifice.  Then we would be blessed again.  God always blessed us when we did our offerings.  But now they say he hates it.  Oh, such confusion.  How can we find the right way?  Law has always been the way.  We must not dare listen to those apostles.  They do not know what they are saying.  Speaking in tongues?  That is foolish and ridiculous.  How can such a thing be of God?  Oh what will we do?  We cannot trust those people.  They do not even keep the law any longer?  We have always had to keep the law or be stoned to death.  Now they say it is no longer.  Oh wretched man that I am,  Who shall deliver me from this body of death.  At even, they sigh, Oh would God it were now morning and we could see that resurrection and know that it really did happen.  What shall we do now that we are in darkness again?   We are so afraid.  What shall we do?  Some say go with the Apostles.  Other say no, we must be true to Moses and keep that law.  Oh wretched man that I am.  Who shall deliver me from these things? We waited too long.  We are sold again into bondage for bond children and no one will even buy us.  Bondmen and bond women.  Trying to serve God under that rejected old covenant of law.  Back to Egypt we must go.  Lost forever.  The light of our eyes are now dim.  The joy of the Lord is departed from us. La 5:14 The elders have ceased from the gate, the young men from their music.  La 5:15 The joy of our heart is ceased; our dance is turned into mourning.  La 5:16 The crown is fallen from our head: woe unto us, that we have sinned!  La 5:17 For this our heart is faint; for these things our eyes are dim.  La 5:18 Because of the mountain of Zion, which is desolate, the foxes walk upon it.  La 5:19 Thou, O LORD, remainest for ever; thy throne from generation to generation.  La 5:20 Wherefore dost thou forget us for ever, and forsake us so long time?  La 5:21 Turn thou us unto thee, O LORD, and we shall be turned; renew our days as of old.  La 5:22 But thou hast utterly rejected us; thou art very wroth against us. Turn back to us, Oh LORD.  Renew our days as of OLD.  Let us return to the even time.  Let us again offer up own animal sacrifices so we can continue to sin.  Jesus’ blood cleanses us from everything and we are now expected to stop sinning and live Holy.  Oh We cannot give up our sins.  Just accept us again as of old, so we can keep sinning.  We want our idols.  Let us go on serving you in the old way.  Let us make churches and hide ourselves in those dens, so we can keep sinning all year long.  We want Xmas. We want Easter. We want adultery.  We want parties and all manner of sin.  Under our animal sacrifices we could keep sinning all year.  We are used to that. Oh I know what we can do.  We will raise up churches and preachers who will proclaim that we are saved, but still sin every day.  That we will do and hide ourselves in our dens.  God will not see us. But thou hast utterly rejected us.  Thou are very wroth against us.  We are cut off.  We are destroyed.  Why do you forget us for ever and forsake us so long time? By: Jo Smith ~~~ May 13, 2009
