REVISITING THE THRESHING FLOOR


REVISITING THE THRESHING FLOOR

                Someone commented that the story of Ruth was a story of prostitution in which Naomi instructed Ruth to go to the threshing floor to tempt Boaz while he was drunk to get her pregnant so he would have to take her in.

                I find such an interpretation abhorrent and Satanic at best. It is made by someone who clearly doesn’t understand the symbolism of scripture or show reverence for what God is saying to us...

                The threshing floor may be a place of rejoicing in the harvest, but it is most commonly referred to as a place of judgment and of purging and threshing so that wheat and tares may be separated and grain may be separated from its husks and chaff.

                There will however by two women at the judgment of the great tribulation. One of these women will be the whore of Babylon who will seek to rule the world and to persecute all who will not follow her. And yes she will seek to seduce people into drinking the wine of her fornication and the kings of the earth will wonder after her and use her to bring about global unity. This woman is identified and described in Revelation chapter 17.

                But on that same threshing floor will be another woman… the Bride of Christ. She will be a chaste virgin and not a seductress. Like Ruth, she will not consort with all of the other younger men who would gladly have slept with her, but she will cling only to her Kinsman Redeemer.

                This is the great separation that is going on now and will continue to increase in frequency and intensity as we near the end.

                And by the way, Boaz did not have relations with Ruth that night. He first took her to a closer relative to offer him the right of redemption. He refused that right and so Boaz took Ruth for his wife and through their marriage came the lineage of King David and the Messiah.

                One of the greatest forms of spiritual prostitution in the world today is that of using the devil to interpret Scripture for you instead of the Holy Spirit. It is being done far too often and because of it the church is being flooded with the seduction of false doctrine, false grace and a false sense of security.

                It is shocking to see supposed men of God beating a pathway to Rome to kiss the ring of a man who is empowered by Satan and full of blasphemy. Even the Catholics know better and they are fleeing the Vatican in droves right now. Rome is falling from the weight of her own sins and God’s people are coming out of it.

                We have a choice to make as to which woman we will follow. One is a seductress that entices you with false doctrine and the ways of the flesh, while the other is the virgin Bride of Christ.

                “And the Spirit and the Bride say “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who wishes take the water of life without cost. Amen! Come Lord Jesus.” Rev. 22:17, 20b

ONE OF THOSE THINGS PART 2

ONE OF THOSE THINGS (PART 2)                 I guess I shouldn’t keep you in suspense. The Colonoscopy was a success. It was by far the easiest part of my 4 day ordeal.                 I, along with those who now know me more than most, watched the whole procedure on the screen in full HD color. Doc told me that my colon was in good health. I had two little polyps which they removed painlessly and it was all over in about 20 minutes.                 To ally some of your fears, they weren’t staring at my caboose. They were all watching the screen along with me. I was covered with a pre-warmed blanket, festooned with 5 heart monitors, an oxygen measurer on my finger, and an IV pouring comfort and ease into my veins.       ...

THE CHURCH AS A LIVING ORGANISM

THE CHURCH AS A LIVING ORGANISM                 So often we have a myopic view of church. There is a pastoral staff that does what they are supposed to do. We come, we listen and we leave.                 I spent many years being on stage in churches of all kinds and I want to tell you that there is no lonelier place in the entire world than being up front in a dead church. If there is to be a smile, you are going to have to provide it. If there is to be a positive atmosphere, you are going to have to provide it. IF there is to be any inspiration or excitement or conviction, you are going to have to produce it, even as the entire congregation sits glumly staring at their laps.                 In a living congregation, when you pray the congregations pra...

THE SAVING OF OUR SOUL

THE SAVING OF OUR SOULS                 “Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus.” 1 Thess. 5:23.                 I grew up in a prophetic church, so we knew prophecy quite well and a part of that included a fairly thorough understanding of the Sanctuary.   (The Tabernacle of Moses)   We knew all of the furniture and the compartments and how they represented justification, sanctification and glorification, but what I was never taught is that the Tabernacle displayed the three parts of man. In other words, man is made up of three individual parts... spirit, soul and body. Even less did we realize that these three parts are saved separately and that each part must be saved complete, as this text in 1 T...
