The Holy Bible Is The Immutable Living Word Of the Eternal God

 

We Recommend The King James / A.V Bible,

with most other translations The Bible Is Used To Deceive

 

All Of Our Rituals,                                    Are An Abomination to The Eternal God.

All Of Our Festivals,                                Are An Abomination to The Eternal God.

All Of Our Pagan Practices,                  Are An Abomination to The Eternal God. 

                       

The Eternal God Is Not A Robotic Moron, On Whom We Make Demands,

And Whom we Obey, As We Like, And When It Is Convenient To Do So.

 

Christ Is Our Living, Loving, Personal Saviour.    There Is No Other.

Christ Is The Solution To All Our Problems.          There Is No Other.

 

1 Timothy 2:5 For there is One God, and

                                              One Mediator between God and men,

                                              The Man, Christ Jesus.

 

If This Verse Is Not In Your Bible, Your Bible Is Corrupt. – Throw It Away. 

You Have Been Deceived Into Serving Satan, the god of this world.

 

Sincerity Is Not The Issue.

You can be sincere and still be wrong.

 

To Live A Lie Is To Die. – It Is As Simple As That.

           Two Kingdom Parables, And Their Relevance Today

 

By Peter James from:   www.peterjamesx.com   

 

The First Parable.

Luke 13:18   Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God like?

and whereunto shall I resemble it?

Luke 13:19  It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took,

and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree;

and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.

 

The Second Parable.

Luke 13:20  And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God?

Luke 13:21  It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal,

till the whole was leavened.

 

Before we go any further, can you explain what the parable means?

Have a think about it, and then consider, what I will explain.

 

I have also stated that the bible is not written,

for everyone to easily understand it.

 

First of all, one has to be inspired, and you will find a little bit

in one place, and other bits of the puzzle, in other places.

 

Isaiah 28:13  But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept,

precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little;

that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.

 

I have stated many times that the purpose of parables,

is to hide the meaning, of what is being said.

 

The situation is exactly the same for the parables.

They were to hide the meaning, of what was being said.

 

Christ explained the reason for using parables.

 

Matthew 13:10 And the disciples came, and said unto him,

Why speakest thou unto them in parables?

Matthew 13:11  He answered and said unto them,

Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries

of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

 

Matthew 13:12  For whosoever hath, to him shall be given,

and he shall have more abundance:

but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.

Matthew 13:13  Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not;

and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.

Matthew 13:14  And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith,

By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand;

and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:

 

Christ asks two questions, before giving two parables, but,

 

First, He asked what is the kingdom of God Like?

Secondly, He then asked to what could He compare it?

 

Luke 13:18  Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God like?

and whereunto shall I resemble it?

 

In other words, how can I illustrate the kingdom of God to you?

 

The First Parable.

Luke 13:19  It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took,

and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree;

and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.

 

In the first parable, Christ compared the Kingdom of God to a mustard seed.

            How Big is a Mustard Seed?

     

          A mustard seed is about 1/20th of an inch in size.

          It is one of the smallest seeds in the world. However, it is not the smallest,

          for is begonia some 1/100th of an inch in size,  . . .

Jesus lived in the area of Galilee, and the mustard, was not a tree, but a common

bush, from which yellow or black seeds, could be harvested, and used as a spice.

The Common Mustard of Palestine is Sinapis nigra of the order Cruciferae,

the Black Mustard, which is found abundantly in a wild state,

and is also cultivated in the gardens for its seed.

In the gospel of Matthew, and Mark, they state that it was the smallest seed.

It is difficult to know precisely what is meant by that.

It might simply be, that amongst that specific species, it was the smallest.

 

The real issue is not the size of the seed at all.

 

Matthew 13:32  Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown,

it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree,

so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.

 

Mark 4:31  It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth,

is less than all the seeds that be in the earth:

 

This is the critical point.

 

In Genesis chapter 1, we are introduced to the laws regarding species.

 

This meant that a coconut, would not be able to fertilize a grapefruit,

and produce some strange sort of fruit.

Neither could a rose bush fertilize a raspberry,

and also produce some strange sort of flower/fruit.

 

Of course, science is doing its utmost, to break down the species barrier,

in every area. So tomatoes now have fish genes, and all other sorts

of abominations, which are dsigned to break the species barrier,

is taking place with much of the food, that we eat.

This means that our food can no longer be healthy,

as it was designed to be, in the first place,

as the species barrier has been broken.

 

The ultimate abomination, of course is gay and lesbian marriage,

because this goes against nature.

 

Regardless of what laws are passed, or what the churches say,

this is a death penalty offence, unless repentance takes place.

I have explained this many times. 

 

Romans 1:26  For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections:

for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

Romans 1:27  And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman,

burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly,

and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

 

Every thing created, has to stay within its species,

and then conduct itself, as created by Christ in the first place.

This is explained in detail, in Genesis Chapter 1.

 

Remember that we are dealing with a parable.

 

When Christ made Adam and Eve, out of the dust, where did He put them?

 

The Eternal God placed them in the Kingdom of God.

 

This is precisely what we are told.

The area was was called Eden.

 

Or do you think that the Eternal God lived in some other kingdom,

besides the Kingdom of God?

 

We are told that  the Tree of Life, was in the midst of the garden.

The Tree of Life was planted there.

In other words, this Tree of Life, was established there.

this Tree of Life, which was none other than Christ, Himself, resided there.

So Christ had a literal residence there.

 

I keep saying, that where ever the Eternal God chooses to reside,

that is His home, His dwelling place, period.

It can be a place, or in a person, it is the very same, in both cases.

 

Genesis 2:9  And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree

that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food;

the tree of life also in the midst of the garden,

and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

 

Revelation 2:7  He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith

unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life,

which is in the midst of the paradise of God.

 

Revelation 22:2  In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river,

was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits,

and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were

for the healing of the nations.

 

Revelation 22:14  Blessed are they that do his commandments,

that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through

the gates into the city.

 

Adam and Eve had direct access to the Tree of life

 

John 14:6  Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth,

and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

 

John 10:28  And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish,

neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

 

Adam and Eve, made the free will choice, to take of the tree of death,

which was also present in the garden, when Satan deceived

them into coveting, the position of becoming ‘gods’,

which he had craved since antiquity. Eve persuaded Adam,

to also eat of the same tree.

 

Genesis 3:4  And the serpent said unto the woman,

Ye shall not surely die:

Genesis 3:5  For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof,

then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods,

knowing good and evil.

Genesis 3:6   And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food,

and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise,

she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto

her husband with her; and he did eat.

 

Today absolutely nothing has changed,

man continues to make wrong choices, every minute of every day.

This is why the world, is in its final death throes today.

 

Some get upset about the Eternal God’s dwelling place,

but the reality is, that there are literally places, where He,

and His peace dwells.

 

When Christ sent out the seventy disciples, to prepare the various

places, that He would visit, He told them the following:

 

Luke 10:5  And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say,

Peace be to this house.

Luke 10:6  And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it:

if not, it shall turn to you again.

 

First of all the translators chose to use a capital P for Peace in verse 5.

This denotes that it is referring to Christ, there is no other reason,

for using a capital letter.

Additionally it also says, the son of peace, which they knew was Christ,

and not just an attibute of peace,

 

This tells us that it is possible for Christ, and therefore the Peace of Christ,

and consequently the kingdom of God, to reside in a specific place,

and that it was in such a place, that the disciples, should dwell.

 

If the Peace of Christ was not in the dwelling, their peace,

would not rest on the place, it would return to them.

 

So their Peace, would unite with the Peace in the dwelling.

It is clear to see, that we should avoid places,

where the Peace of God, does not dwell.

Eve was told, that she must not eat of the tree of death,

and she must not even touch it.

 

She was telling the truth.

 

Genesis 3:3  But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden,

God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.

 

So these disciples also had the Peace of Christ, dwelling in them.

They had been appointed for their ministry, and also anointed.

 

Isaiah 9:6  For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given:

and the government shall be upon his shoulder:

and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God,

The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

 

This is precisely the very same person,

who is also called the King of Peace.

 

Hebrews 7:2  To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all;

first being by interpretation King of righteousness,

and after that also King of Salem,

which is, King of peace;

 

Now the kingdom of God started out with a very small beginning.

It was indeed, the smallest possible seed.

The mustard seed, was just one family, comprised of two people,

Adam and Eve, that is all.

Today, we now have some 7 billion people on the planet. 

 

The Eternal God, had a very specific plan for the world,

and all the things, and people whom He created.

 

The pinacle of the creation was mankind,

which consisted of Adam and Eve.

 

The Eternal God, had placed this physically perfect couple,

in a beautiful garden, which was called Eden,

which had its spiritual counterpart in the heavens,

so we know, that like all of His creation, Eden, was perfect.

 

Christ the Creator God, was right there, and personally gave

them His perfect direct tuition.

 

The Eternal God, wanted, them to absolutely enjoy life,

to its fullest possible extent.

There was to be no hard work, no suffering,

no pain, no tears, just delight and pleasure, as we obeyed Him.

We would delight Him, as He had planned, and He would bless us,

beyond our wildest imagination.

 

So this small seed, was planted.

It was a shrub, and it should mature into a shrub, nothing more.

 

It was a herb, and it could become a very large herb,

in fact the greatest amongst the herbs,

but it became much more than this.

The shrub morphed, that is undiscernably, but rapidly,

it changed into a large tree.

 

We can see that the rapid population of the earth,

was not what was the original plan.

 

Genesis 3:16  Unto the woman he said,

I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception;

in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be

to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.

 

The Mustard seed was the least of the seeds.

 

Matthew 13:32  Which indeed is the least of all seeds:

but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs,

 

But is that what happened to the mustard seed.

Did it just become a large herb?

No it did not.

It completely changed its species.

It changed, from a herb, to becoming a very large tree.

 

The pictures above, clearly show that it is only very small birds,

like the robin,sparrow, etc., that could sit on this very small bush,

 

Matthew 13:32  Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown,

it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree,

so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.

 

It was now so large, that the birds could lodge in its branches.

 

Matthew 13:32 . . . 

so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.

 

In our minds, we can easily think, of the little birds just mentioned,

but this is not what is meant at all.

 

The gospel of Mark adds some clarity to the word ‘birds’,

he uses the word “fowls”.

 

The very word fowl, tends to mean very large birds,

so this immediately presents us, with an entirely different picture.

You can have pigeons, crows, ravens, hawks, vultures, eagles, etc.

and all of these birds would be quite unable to land,

on a mustard bush, neither could they could make their homes there.

We are told that they ‘lodged’ there.

Some of these nests are very huge and heavy.

 

Note that the pictures above, did not show any great branches,

because herbs do not have great branches ,

but Mark tells us the herb, now had great branches.

 

Mark 4:32  But when it is sown, it groweth up,

and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches;

so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.

 

So, now we see a plant, which was no longer carrying out,

its created purpose. It had gradually morphed, that is changed

from a herb into a tree.

 

In the following parable, which also deals with fowls and plants,

we are told twice, that Satan was involved in

the transformation of the Kingdom of God.

 

What do the fowls represent?

 

Satan, and his evil spirit led people.

 

Four times we are told of Satan’s activities.

 

First Time

Luke 8:5  A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed,

some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down,

and the fowls of the air devoured it.

 

Second Time

Luke 8:11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

Luke 8:12  Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil,

and taketh away the word out of their hearts,

lest they should believe and be saved.

 

Third Time

Luke 8:13  They on the rock are they, which, when they hear,

receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe,

and in time of temptation fall away.

 

Satan is our adversary and our tempter.

 

Fourth Time

Luke 8:14  And that which fell among thorns are they, which,

when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches

and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.

 

The fourth point is very important.

It describes how the world is used to entrap and deceive people.

The Eternal God has permitted this to happen.

 

Satan’s world has taken over the Kingdom of God.

It is easy to think that, that is impossible,

but is it not, what you can see with your own two eyes?

 

2 Corinthians 4:4  In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds

of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ,

who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

 

Most would not see this or even agree with this,

but it is a blatant, and an undeniable fact.

If this were not true, the following verse would never exist.

 

Revelation 11:15  And the seventh angel sounded;

and there were great voices in heaven, saying,

The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord,

and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.

 

We are clearly told that the kingdoms of this world,

have absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the Eternal God.

 

Christ the Eternal God is going to reclaim,

what has always been His, but Satan has been allowed to usurp,

and rule the world, because of the rebellion of mankind,

who chose to serve Satan, rather than to serve the Eternal God.

 

If I have a beautiful home, which is ideal in every possible way,

and I decide to let my friend use my house, as if it were his own,

for a long time, the home, will still be P.J’s home.

If when I return, the place is kept in immaculate condition,

it is still my home.

If it has been completely trashed, it is still my home.

It is not a daydream in my mind.

 

Individually, and collectively, we have trashed the Kingdom of God,

by a mixture of ignorance, arrogance, and outright rebellion,

but the Kingdom of God still exists, no one can destroy it,

though its system of government and blessings,

have been taken away from us, because of sin.

 

It is another fact, that Genuine believers are the temple of God.

This is the individual building block of the Kingdom of God.

 

1 Corinthians 3:16  Know ye not that ye are the temple of God,

and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

 

So the Kingdom of God is no longer fit for purpose.

So it will be razed to the ground, and rebuilt from the bottom up.

It will be built as it was originally planned.

 

Matthew 17:11  And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come,

and restore all things.

Matthew 17:12  But I say unto you, That Elias is come already,

and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed.

Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them.

 

Acts 3:21  Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things,

which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.

 

Adam and Eve sinned, and from that day around 6,000 years ago,

the kingdom of God, which had been personally set up by Christ, Himself,

deteriorated to the extent, that the Eternal God had to destroy all life,

except for Noah, his family and the animals and birds,

which were saved in the ark.

 

Genesis 6:13  And God said unto Noah,

The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence

through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

 

4,000 years later, the position is now exactly the same, as it was in the

days of Noah. For this reason the great Tribulation beckons.

 

Luke 17:26  And as it was in the days of Noe,

so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.

 

The Kingdom of God, has become twisted,

and perverted. In short it had become, an abomination,

which was no longer fit for purpose,

and except for a small remnant, a tremendous judgment,

to purify and cleanse the world will have to take place.

 

It will be with great wrath, power, might, and authority, that the Eternal God,

will intervene to establish His government, and his Kingdom, on the earth.

 

After this has taken place, everything will start to be restored,

to how it was in Eden.

Those who survive, this ‘Great Tribulation’, will be involved

in cleaning up the great mess, that we have brought on ourselves.

 

This will help to ensure that man will despise rebellion.

With a new heart, a new spirit, and the Holy Spirit,

this will be possible.

The reality is that with only the human spirit,

and the human heart it was quite impossible.

 

This is the primary lesson that all human beings have to learn.

Here is the ultimate solution.

 

Ezekiel 36:26  A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh,

and I will give you an heart of flesh.

Ezekiel 36:27  And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.

 

Ezekiel 36:28  And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.

Ezekiel 36:29  I will also save you from all your uncleannesses: and

I will call for the corn, and will increase it, and lay no famine upon you.

 

Ezekiel 36:30  And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the field, that ye shall receive no more reproach of famine among the heathen.

Ezekiel 36:31  Then shall ye remember your own evil ways, and your doings that were not good, and shall lothe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations.

 

So the parable about the mustard seed,

is a completely negative one, unlike what is commonly taught today. 

 

The Second Parable.

Luke 13:20  And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God?

Luke 13:21  It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures

of meal, till the whole was leavened.

 

The Second parable is also negative.

 

Luke 13:20  And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God?

Luke 13:21  It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures

of meal, till the whole was leavened.

 

This shows us that a small amount of, yeast, which is leaven,

given the right conditions, will in time, permeate all the dough.

 

I just mentioned, that we should not even touch sin.

Yeast, which is used to represent Sin, is present everywhere,

to the extent you can make sour dough, without any yeast at all.

It just takes considerably longer, but the yeast in the air will infect the dough,

if it is given the right conditions of warmth and moisture.

 

This is what the ignored Feast of Unleavened Bread,

which follows Passover is all about.

 

Leaven is always used to represent sin.

It is never a positive thing.

It is an annual Feast, which lasts 7 days.

It shows that a persistent effort needs to be exerted in order

to come out of sin.

Interestingly ‘Churchianity’, scorns these Old Testament Festivals,

as they say that we are under the New Covenant,

which puts us under the harsh Old Testament Law, which no longer applies.

 

There will never be a time, in this age,

when man will not need to be reminded to avoid sin,

as the Feast of Passover, and the Day of Atonement remind us,

every year.

 

We have never made any claim, that keeping these Feast days,

gives anyone salvation. It is true, that we are under grace,

but we are not somehow free, to do exactly as we wish.

Human Beings need to be constantly reminded, of why we are born,

and the plan of the Eternal God, which is precisely what these Feast days do.

 

Very soon, the great mustard tree, will be chopped down,

and the fowls, will, be locked away.

 

Revelation 20:3  And cast him (Satan) into the bottomless pit, and shut him up,

and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more,

till the thousand years should be fulfilled:

and after that he must be loosed a little season.

 

There is however, a problem with yeast.

It is not possible to take leaven out of dough, once it is put there.

For this reason, we are told not to associate, with those who oppose,

the Eternal God.

 

Fortuately, it is possible to disassociate ourselve,

from the rebellious and the wicked, but it requires a miracle,

just like it would require a miracle to remove yeast from dough. 

 

I hope that we can now see how very important,

it is to come out of Babylon, as the entire world

now teeters on the edge of destruction, by so many different methods,

and all at the very same time.

 

Revelation 18:4  And I heard another voice from heaven, saying,

Come out of her, (Babylon) my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins,

and that ye receive not of her plagues.

 

When Christ sets up His kingdom, for a thousand years,

it will be a little bit easier, in that Satan and his fallen angels will be locked away,

but dealing with our human nature, which is the real big problem,

will still remain.

 

So the opportunity to become leavened with sin, will still exist.

This is yet another reason for the Old Testament Feasts,

to be observed.

 

Do not let Satan deceive you, and neither allow,

your own heart to deceive you.

 

Jeremiah 17:9  The heart is deceitful above all things,

and desperately wicked: who can know it?
