The Rod of Moses
"And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:14-16
Do you believe in Him? Well if you do then He promised that by merely believing you would obtain His eternal life. Its is merely that easy. All of the rest of it is His domain to perform in your life. You do what you can as a human being and He does those things you can not do. He makes you what you are to be molded into. And this is a matter of believing also.
Now:
Maybe we have been disappointed a time or two in our leaders; even in our spiritual leaders. Somehow it has become unfashionable to question them though we all have questions these days. Some of our alternative media type preachers and end time prophecy teachers have their audience so terrified of government that they are afraid to ask important questions. If we do pose important questions then we are treated as if we are serpents and not students or believers of Christ. And so; all of these voices are out there dividing out themselves an audience and keeping their little share of the market or demographic as they call us people, entertained off into a corner and away from the really important issues of our times. And I would rather listen to Alexander Jones in all honesty. http://www.infowars.com/
Today the matter of importance with the so called churches; is not so much in the spiritual growth of the individual soul, but in the growth of the mass numbers in attendance. So we are all just numbers to them: merely a mass. Do not let yourself be numbered. Do not let yourself be a mere tagged and branded sort of cattle in the fields of such people, all numbered under the name of such men. You see, for such so called leaders in the spiritual realm, we are but a resource for them to exploit: what they call the human resource, as if we are mere cattle to be herded and as sheep to be sheared.
"¶And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD unto the shepherds; Woe be to the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed the flocks? Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye kill them that are fed: but ye feed not the flock. The diseased have ye not strengthened, neither have ye healed that which was sick, neither have ye bound up that which was broken, neither have ye brought again that which was driven away, neither have ye sought that which was lost; but with force and with cruelty have ye ruled them. And they were scattered, because there is no shepherd: and they became meat to all the beasts of the field, when they were scattered. My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and upon every high hill: yea, my flock was scattered upon all the face of the earth, and none did search or seek after them. ¶Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD;..." Ezekiel 34:1-7
Each so called end time prophecy teacher or prophet of the airwaves tries to keep control of the views of their audience and so; keeps them divided out and away from other groups. And being so divided and split they can never do such things as wake up and come to such a thing as a united grass roots movement of any kind, to approach and address the real issues of today. There are a few real good pastor on the airwaves, so don't think there aren't.
One way they trick the audience into staying with them and divided out is by way of telling them that they are part of the "small remnant of true believers" and hence are a small group truely special and unique in the scheme of spiritual history and are the only true ones that are left in the end times. Revelation 7 tells a different story however.
Yet, out there I heard a man who teaches that Planet X is a prophecy that warrants weight next to Bible prophecy and that Planet X is important to believe in since it sort of explains the end times scenario. Likewise he has supported numerous things such as ufo's supposedly in Bible history. I personally can not find such things even mildly mentioned in the scriptures. And so if I question him and press him I will be told that I am a serpent and an enemy. And this is how such deal with us (us who have questions). And yes, old Dan here has been called a serpent by them for my strange and peculiar questions I have of them about their teachings and doctrines. {Now, I am not talking about R.G. Stair, although he too has supported this Planet X hoax. I am referring to a fellow way out west there near the regions of Oregon. In some undisclosed mountain hide away as he calls it.}
Well, it matters not what they may call us. Moses had a staff (or rod) that God placed a serpent in, to deal with the staffs of the priest of Egypt. And then; he raised up a brazen serpent for all to look upon and be healed by, who had been bitten by serpents. Here this strong and fearsome symbol has been turned around to do some good. So in contrast to that evil serpent in Eden there was in Moses a good and righteous one used of God. Meaning here the serpent in the rod of Moses, which dealt with the serpents in the rods of the Egyptians. Or have you ever seen this in the scriptures?
Oddly Christ said, "And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:" So you can see now, that even if these fellows call you or I a serpent for our questioning them, it is not anything you need be hurt about. They can call us anything they like and yet, when it comes to the serpents of the evil kind such as was in Eden; then I am sure we may find that they, the supposed spiritual leaders who twist and turn the scriptures; are such serpents. And this is a sad state of affairs. Where preachers and end time prophecy teachers are more of a Spin Doctor than a minister of truth.
Well, we creatures of flesh are lowly creatures sometimes and we all can be serpents. All have sinned and fallen short, and none of us are truly worthy. However if this fellow here is a lowly creature; I would rather be a creature of the kind that was in the rod of Moses than that creature that deceived Eve in Eden. So they can call me what they like. It will not alter my faith. I will continue to have faith in His word that I can read rather than in men's interpretation of His word. I will not be a fraud and tell you falsehoods about suppose space alien scenarios as if they are the way to interpret scriptures. In fact the scriptures plainly say what they say and do not need and alter interpretation.
The reason that these fellows are called serpents such as was in Eden is that they can speak the word of God out of one side of their mouths and then turns to interpret it all away from its original meaning out of the other side of their mouth. Hence such are forked tongued creatures.
So the story continues. This fellow I am referring to who teaches about Planet X and ufo's, and about how the giants of old in the scriptures were perhaps genetically engineered by space aliens who are suppose to be the son's of God who saw that the daughters of men were fair back in ancient times. Well, I will not mention the man's name, if I have things to say to him I will say them to him directly: and have. This man is on the offensive against me because I question such things and so he says he is doing God's work and is in God's service and maintains that God will defend him and vindicate him. Yet, his ministry as he calls it, is merely about selling books that entertain sorts: ...sorts such as are easily misled.
Adding in ideas of supposed ancient myths that describe the motions and visitations of mythological planets is part of the ancient realm of astrology, though these fellows make it all seem as if it is real astronomy when it is no such creature. I have not seen articles on it in Astronomy or Sky And Telescope magazines. Astronomy is a science that doesn't support these wild claims they make.
Basically, if this is all these fellows have to offer as supposed interpretations of end times scenarios and revelations; well we can get that on the Sci Fi channel and with better quality script writing. You might even get a view of better end time prophecy scenarios from the Sci Fi channel in all honesty: if they happen upon such by accident perhaps, and not knowing really what they are doing. And so we really do have some miserable teachers here today. You might learn more from the Outer Limits and this is a sad commentary on such creatures as I am writing about here in this text.
When it comes to end times scenarios I am sure that few people even mention the stone of Daniel Two, that falls upon the feet of the image of the beast in Daniel Two. This stone that was cut out without hands that grows up as a seed in the earth to become a mountain that fills all of the earth in the last days. Somehow they all seem to fail to reconcile this prophecy with all of their end time prophecy scenarios. They sort of gloss over it and do not see it. It does not enter into the picture of the scenarios they have as end time prophecy interpretations.
"Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces. Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth." Dan 2:34-35
"And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever. Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure." Dan 2:44-45
This is the Stone of Daniel Two. And so that stone with Daniel's name on it, is the Kingdom set in motion by the work of Christ.
Somewhere out there on the road of destiny, as the four horse riders of the first four seals of Revelations, go along on their infamous route of evil works. I am sure that Yawah {Yahweh} has a rattle snake (adder) waiting in the way to startle the horses and bring the riders down backwards off their perches. I am sure that the Mighty One Most High has something like that waiting for them and so I would rather be that serpent, such as was in the rod of Moses than that which is the deceiver such as deceived Eve: I would rather be such as that was lifted up in the wilderness where if anyone would but lift up there eyes to look upon they would be healed. If you would but lift up your eyes and see how that people are today and what they teach; then you would not be so upset if they called you a bad name or loathsome creature. Christ told us that if they called him a devil, and they did; they would call us one also. He told us that they would seek to kill some of us and think that they were doing God a service. And if that isn't enough; they will equate you with Judas.
What I just said in the above paragraph is a prophecy of Jacob from the very first book of Moses. {Genesis 49:1, 49:16-18} It is an end time prophecy and I suppose that you have never heard of it before. I know that from the teachings that we have had in this world down through the ages to now that this hasn't been discussed and when folk do stumble upon it they have some fairly wild interpretations of it. Yet, all things must be fulfilled and then shall the end come as it is also written that not one jot or tittle of the law (the word) shall fail until all be fulfilled. So if there are prophecies for the last days that have not been talked about, which are buried in the scriptures as hidden loafs of bread to consume when hungry; then they must come to light and be fulfilled. Then the end will come. For all things must come to pass.
So as I go along I will not be concerned with what they may call you or I. I will plainly tell them "And yea, I was born in the country at the site of an ancient rattle snake den and I live there now." I left and grew up in Indiana but am now back where I was born and have discovered the rattle snakes here. So I guess that makes me a rattler. And I do rattle off, I do warn you ahead of time, and yes there is venom in my words. I am merely out here at the age of 50 now telling you that there are things you need to watch out for along the road of faith and I am talking about serpents in the wilderness that are of the kind that was in Eden. Both John who baptized the believers and Christ referred to the leaders as serpents, especially the religious leaders of the their times. These are the ones you have to watch for. Since we are told that Satan can be as an angel of light and his ministers can appear as ministers of righteousness. They can stand in the pulpits and make themselves out to be prophets; and kings, on the airwaves. Via one hour broadcast they sit as kings claiming that they as the ministers of Yawah, will rule as kings and priest in the coming kingdom. They want us to believe that they are to be the shepherd kings of mankind. Plainly they seek a kingdom they have not found yet, and so for now; they are content to rule as kings through their one hour broadcast.
The priest of Egypt were magicians and astrologers and so to counter them and their magic they used to control and hold men's minds, Yawah made the rod of Moses so that it could counter and deal with the rods of Egypt. Hence this serpent in the rod was a contrast and counter part of Yawah against the serpents of this world. And as many of you know, the rod or the staff is a symbol of the Word of God, and this then may mean that there is a serpent of Yawah hidden in his word to deal with the false prophets in the last day. Hum? What is the likelihood of this? Maybe there are hidden prophecies in the word.
I am sure that if one stumbles upon such hidden things, they might say "Whats this? What is it?" Oddly, the word "manna" in Hebrew means "What is it? Whats this?" which is what the children in the wilderness called the miraculous food given to them where they did not know it what was.
"He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that over cometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it." Revelation 2:17
So there is something hidden in the scriptures that is for you to eat and be nourished by. Yet, has anyone told you about this before? Has anyone told you such things as I have told you here briefly? Has anyone told you about the stone of Daniel Two in their end time teachings? Has anyone included the stone of Daniel Two in their end time scenarios? Or is it as I said earlier, that they are ever failing to reconcile the stone in Daniel Two with their end time prophecy scenarios? Ever setting the stone at naught, which will still be the head of the corner as the chief corner stone: as well as the arch stone in the head of the gate. It will also be the porch stone and stepping stone to the gate, of the kingdom from which living waters will flow out of: to all the trees of the nations as Ezekiel saw in Ezekiel 47. It is even the foundation stone that was laid in the creation before Adam. There upon that stone lays the Lamb slain from the foundation of creation and that stone is covered in the blood of the Lamb. The stone did not slay him, men slew Him. Yet his blood covers you and me if you will receive it. And so, John saw the Lamb not laying down slain in heaven; for there, He is standing up alive in the midst of the throne. He is not dead but alive and He even now is the Great King and He is not waiting for a kingdom to come for He said nearly two thousand years ago then, "¶Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel." Mark 1:14-15
Repent is actually not a full translation since it means "to turn around 180 degrees." Likewise the word gospel should be translated out to read "good news."
This then reads in English: "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: turn around, and believe the the good news." Which is what Christ said nearly two thousand years ago.
Men will try to tell you that they know what I am talking about here but I will say right here and now, they haven't a clue under heaven. First of all they do not have the right name to begin with. Let me show you what I mean here. Go turning over stones in the scriptures and tell me what names you find under them? I mean prophets. And Christ is the chief prophet. If you look at who was placed in the earth and had stones rolled over them, then in the line of prophets you will turn over a stone over a lions den; and find Daniel, then you will turn over the stone of the tomb in which was Christ. And so, both Daniel and Christ came up out of the earth out of their tombs or dens. Lazarus did also, when he was raised by Christ. So, you have to have the right name to begin with. God knows our names before we are even born.
Yes, God knew us from the foundations of creation: way back in the beginning of the creation. He knew our names then, he looked through time and saw us all here today. And so, he set in motion things from the very foundations of creation to come forward in time, up through time to us here today. {Sometime I will explain these mysteries to you. Since they consist of allot of text and scriptures I have not the time to deal with here. And would be off of this present topic.}
The serpent that was in Eden was a creature that spoke the word of God out of his mouth and then turned and interpreted it away out of the other side of his mouth. Who spun it around into something else. And so, he caused Eve to doubt the original word of God concerning the tree of good and evil knowledge (good and evil knowledge mixed together into one fruit). The original sin was having doubted God's word. When the serpent caused Eve to doubt, then she was able to be influenced to take of the forbidden fruit and eat it. Eating the fruit was only the consummation of the sin of doubting God's word. Whenever you doubt His word you are committing the original sin. If Eve had kept her faith in the word of God, then she would not have doubted and did that which she was told not to do. So it was that the serpent could speak the word and then turn out of the other side of his mouth and interpret it to mean something else: hence he had a forked lounge. This does not mean the serpent was a reptile like snake creature, no this was some sort of supposed spiritual minded being. A sort of supposed messenger who was actually a fallen messenger. And so, we find Christ calling the spiritual leaders and hence human messengers of his times a den of serpents: he was identifying who and what the evil serpents were.
It was after the deception of Eve that, that the serpent who deceived Eve was cursed. Since snakes have been on earth longer than man, and since the serpent that deceived Eve was cursed after men were on the earth; it was not the snake in the grass that deceived Eve. No it was not that creature. The serpents that I am referring to here, of the evil sort; such as deceived Eve, have two legs and walk upright and have forked tongues. We call them creatures, men. The same creatures Christ called serpents.
Now to close this text, I want to show you something to ponder. And I hope you will look back over these words and consider them again and even study them up some. We are in no hurry here to get somewheres. We will all get there in due time.
There is a teaching that in the last day there is only a remnant of true believers who are somehow more elect than others. Who will be on the earth at around the time of great tribulations. Before I start, the scriptures do not use in the KJV a term known as "the great tribulations" as a definitive with the word "the" before it, but rather says "great tribulations" as you will see here shortly.
In Revelations 7, John tells us that it is not a remnant of true believers in the last days but a great multitude that no man could number who get the victory over the beast, his number, and his name. So this thing called Remnant Theology teaching is grossly in error. Apparently there is a great victory in the end where there somehow is a great multitude of believers who get the victory by the blood of the Lamb. Look here and see:
"After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb. And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God, Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen. ¶And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb." Revelation 7:9-14
Notice now it says "came out of great tribulation" as contrasted to something they call "The Great Tribulations." And notice that it is by no means a remnant seen here. A remnant is a small and countable number. This kind of blows some ships of theology out of the water, doesn't it?
"...a great multitude, which no man could number,..."
I must admit that with all of the insane teachings and beliefs and all of this ufo-ology stuff; that it might not seem possible. However this is not something I or you can make happen. It is the work of God to perform and so, it will just be that way. And so the idea of Remnant Theology really has no legs to stand on in the last day. The idea of the remnant was a prophecy that happened long ago.
I hope that your eyes have been opened? I hope that you will with curiosity ponder these things and that they speak better things to you as you go along. Look Up!
Dan
